CUREd in Singapore [a title borrowed from justthegirl :) ]
















The Cure was fab!
What more can you ask when Robert Smith belting his heart out for 3 hours, Porl strumming non-stop (not even for a drink) and changing his guitars every song (his very artsy, eyecatching and complemented his bald tattooed head and body) (only stop for brief freshen up, and came out energized for 2 encores!) I can only talk about these two, forgive me for my petiteness.

Can't believe that he stood right in front of me more than three times, trying so hard to gaze away from stares, pretending that those hysterical screams are not for him. (But,i do secretly think we had a 2 secs moment where our eyes were fixated on each other, lol!)

For a rockstar, he's one sheepish, ever so shy but performed like it's their last show with the energy of a youth! Heh I hope I don't sound too starstruck there.
Definitely was fun to be in the 2nd row standing, cuddling with dear during lovesong(s),and the best part, no smoking allowed,clean air pure fun.
Feels like we're taken back to the 80's when they played all the greatest hits.
And we've just found out they're in the top 20 for Just Like Heaven( Top 20, y'all!) voted as VH1's 100 greatest song of the 80's.

To my surprise dear did something (so not him!) crazy that night. Well actually, he wanted to leave immediately, but yours sincerely persuaded him to stay for a while just to see the commotion while people are battling to grab drumsticks, guitar picks and set lists thrown on air. Just when the 2nd (I think) drumstick were thrown,he ran, jumped and aggressively, hassled and (add) a bit of tug o' war here (err, more like grab it from someone else's hand la senang)

Anaz (of Laila's Lounge) saw that too and pointed tht it was a smart idea to immediately hid the stick in the shirt right after that. LOL! He was really friendly tho' tht was the first time we've ever spoken to each other. The first pic was kindly taken by him :). We're so gonna see them next Saturday.

Seeing Cure live simply bring back memories. I'm listening to the CD and iPod everyday now, it made me smile, dance, and feel so good. I have to admit we're not the biggest fan who could sing along every single song, but we're just soo in love with their 80's hits.

All in all, we had a blast and we're honored to be part of the legend's last years of touring. (They are planning to retire soon, as spoken by Robert Smith in an interview) and the best early b'day prezzie. Period.
