  Just back from a weekend in Singapore. Went specifically for RETROLICIOUS 2011. I cannot believe I remember the lyrics to a lot of the songs! First up, we had Human League. I have to admit, one song i truly know is Don't You Want Me but I actually recognized two others. The surprise was when they sang Together in Electric Dreams by Giorgio Moroder n Phil Oakey. Everyone around me was like why is he singing this song? Took me a minute to figure out the lead singer of Human League was Phil Oakey.
  
  Next up, Belinda Carlisle who looked good I must say. I knew all the songs she sang and almost all the lyrics including some songs i haven't heard in a long time like Summer Rain.
  
  For the final act, Bananarama came on and the crowd went mad! They still play Love in the First Degree a lot on radio and retro nights in clubs. Sans Siobhan Fahey, they still rocked and yes i danced along to all the choreographed moves from their old music videos so all in all, the night ROCKED!!!!
  
  and now we move on to the eating part of the trip. I tried a few new places, except for 5 Star Chicken Rice, this trip and i must say i would go back to these places again. First up, dim sum supper on the night we arrived.
