Mechanical Madness
Okay someone explain this to me.
2.4 click.
Different circumstances - 4 hours of sleep for one.
Different initiation - injured foot, painful slow start, blah blah, feel like dying many times through, used support of handrail x3 (to shame), effort required infinitely more, sensation of imminent death... much more imminent - attributed to lack of sleep and injured foot.
Time first time (breezed through easily) : 10:15
Time second time : 10:03
What I don't get :
Same machine.
Same settings.
Shrug.

Protesting weakly, he allowed himself to be led onto the floor...
...drew her in and watched the surprise in her eyes as he led her, half a body length away, in a move he vaguely remembered from his younger dancing days...
... but then later, watching her doing the R&B grind against him, and watching the others doing the same - attached at the mouth, hands wandering with wild abandon - he stepped back just a little.
One of the others noticed, and poked fun at him... you can get in closer if you'd like to.
Perhaps he'd have liked to... perhaps he just didn't quite trust himself to.

National Medley

I agree wholeheartedly that this year's national day song sucks.
Come to think of it most of the recent ones have sucked, even from my perch far away in a colder place.
Whatever happened to sing-along classics like Stand Up for Singapore?
I reckon what went wrong was this pathetic meme-uber-"cool"-showmanship that the organisers indulged the songwriters with.
It's bad enough they're almost no-talents, but the songs are pretty much weak vehicles for themselves. Face it. There aren't any catchy phrases and awe-inspiring refrains for the public to latch onto.
Instead we have some cutesy (you can tell from the voice...) fresh-faced wannabe starlet prancing around an MTV video cheerily singing tired old words about us doing our part to an unnecessary complicated and unsingable tune made barely passable by a weak musical accompaniement.
I hate to say this, but they got it right in the old days...
