Hey Ngoi-clan,

I'm helping my friend Tanya forward out an email she's been sending. I hope you can help me too by copying this and pasting this to all the social networks that you can spam. Thanks.

Hey Beloveds!

Some of you might have heard of American band Paramore. They'll be playing in Singapore on 7 March and they're looking for a Singapore band to open their show. So let's vote for Stellar Memory, our own NCC indie band (disclaimer: they're not authorised/endorsed by NCC but all of them are NCC members except Josh, who attends NCC occasionally).

Sign up for an account at http://onevent.biz/paramore/ and vote for their video (rate them a 5!). If they get the most votes, they might be able to open for Paramore!

Some information about Stellar Memory:
Vox: Edmund Quek
Guitars: Ernie Lim and Joshua Lim
Bass: Justin Garner
Drums: Cliff Ethan

Ernie, Justin and Cliff play in NCC main and/or dare/arrow/genrev services.

This is the video they uploaded for the contest:

As you can see, NCC's very own JEN!!!!! is playing the guitar (sessioning for Josh that day)! That's one of their original songs, Inside to the Outside (it's a Christian song by the way [: )

They'll also be playing for Youth Olympic Games at Marina Barrage on 27 Feb.
You can find out more about them or listen to their other songs here:

Sorry for the spam, quite excited about this cos Paramore and Stellar Memory are two bands I support. No obligations to vote, but it'd be good if you can vote and spread the word!

heh.

So.

So, I went to the Singapore Airshow recently. Paid $21 for it and another 21 for the other person that came along with me. I can't say I enjoyed myself. I mean, the company I was with was the saving grace. Apart from that, the show was like being in a sardine-tin cooking in the microwave.

My favourite part of the Airshow wasn't the aerial display, because that involved 3 planes flying around doing barrel rolls. I kinda expected like 5 planes in a 5 finger formation, or something that would make me flip out. What I really liked about the airshow was the butterfly garden. Instant I walked in, I thought of Bao.

Cute. They also had chips hidden in bamboo. Not the edible kind though. I mean, that would be an insult to pandas around the world if they had fries inside bamboo.

The picture I would use to describe the airshow best is.

Seriously.

Regards,

Josh

Ah God, how to find the words to thank You?

Yes boys and girls, we finally have the latest update!

Well, i guess it's just that now asher and alden are back, the purpose of the blog has kinda dwindled... plus we post photos on facebook so...

Anyhow, i finished work on friday, and felt like my hols just started today... before school begins tomorrow. haha - shall try to start on a good footing! God help!

This was after another awesome BS - just love the energy everyone in XYQ has now - let's keep it up guys! We had dinner at simei foodcourt and i squeezed some people back home. MAybe i really should count before i say okay next time eh ;)

(the result of poor planning - much sufferin')

(more for the people at the back than me i guess - Alden! WHAT'S THIS YOU'RE DOING?)

And yet another awesome family dinner + spontaneous board games (don't worry lianne and nat, next time we have an official night you girls will definitely be invited!)

The guys who came up with agricola are genius.

And the winner is JOSH. And asher... well, you probably still need to work on the strategy. LOL.
