Jack and Ngak (no, not Rai) came today to perform at the Panasonic Conference Asia. They did an AMAZING set, with songs like Losing My Religion, Mrs Robinson, Runaway Train, Breakfast at Tiffany's, So Happy Together, Wonderwall, I'm Yours, Accidentally In Love, Time of Your Life, 1,2,3,4, Slide, Have A Nice Day and some other songs.

Ngak was really good! He sounded fantastic. And he looked pretty darn good too! Except, except, except. Total dealbreaker. He smelt like cigarettes and he was holding a box of Marlboros (I don't know how to spell larh, I don't smoke!). But he was a nice guy, can't make him out to be a bad person just cause he smokes. He said thank you to me after I passed him the 3D goggles! And Jack was quite funny too! He kept asking me why his goggles didn't work when they in fact did, and I had to explain it to him, and when he wore them, and saw the 3D effect, he said "OHHHH, cool! Cool! Cool!" HAHA! And apparently Simon is pretty close to the two of them. He was all bro hugging them and stuff. Maybe they're smoke buddies or something! OH, AND JACK IS REALLY MUCH TALLER THAN HE LOOKS.

And strangely enough, I really related to the lyrics of Losing My Religion when it was being played. I knew the lyrics beforehand, and I was singing along with them but I suddenly connected with it. Previously, it was just a nice tune but now, I feel it. And it's not about religion; not about losing faith in god, but more of religion as something you believe in. Or in this case, believed in. Something you thought you had figured out and was fairly certain in. And then something happened and caused you to question it and stop believing.

And I never understood it until today.



Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
