J-obsession 2012!!!!!!
Of course, there's ups and downs..We were scheduled to perform on sunday 4.30pm, which is the 1st slot of the day. Then the organisers were asking if we could switch to saturday instead. With one of us working, we were not able to make the switch and we remained on sunday, same slot..That's when some steep learning curve surfaced.
We jammed every week as usual, then i received an email from the organisers that we have 2 songs in our setlist clash with another band one week before the performance, and they proposed that which band play 1 of the songs and come up with another song to replace the one that were not played. Given the amount of time we were notified, i replied that we might not be able to come up with a replacement song, and the organisers replied with they have to remove us if we were playing 3 songs only. Each band was given a 30 min timeslot, which definitely can't tank with 3 songs only. So everyone was feeling down and stuff, mainly the reason because the other band was supposed to play on saturday then they switched to sunday. Thinking of all the possiblities i could come up, i don't see a clean solution. On the verge of giving up, i came across the videos of the BBQ 2yrs back, with the acoustic setlist, and suggested to the rest to play an acoustic song for the replacement song. Which they agreed and Luke arranged it to be a full band song over the week. To be honest, he really surpised me with his rendition, hahaha..Well, as for the drums, he just told me to come up with something simple, basket, hahaha..Then we practiced it for 2 hours, acouple of hours before the actual performance!! We managed to pull it off!! and got the most praises for that song from friends, audiences and even the other performers!!
Went down the stage happily though there were acouple of flaws, we're still happy that we can get up on stage, given the circumstances for that past week. Then the other band went on stage. They were engertic, enjoying their time to the max, then till the last song, the bassist told the band to play the song that we played. And they "apologised" to us on stage, and played it..The agreement we, that band and the organiser had was each of us played 1 of the clash song, yet they played all of them, that's outright disrespect, it's freaking bullshit, dude..Given that they know almost everyone there, it's pointless to agrue, so gotta swallow pride.
Well, all in all, I won't say it's a bad experience but a good learning experience. I'm gald that there's audiences and performers that liked our performance despite all the screw-ups and stuff, hahaha..And heard from some of them, we halted the most by-standers in their steps to listen while walking past the stage compared to other bands, hahaha..I think it's because we have a wonderful vocals on our side~~ hahahaa Not gona get carried away, now we're getting back in the studio, keep practicing, keep improving and keep bringing the audiences more wonderful songs that touched our hearts to touch their's, hahaha
A big Thank You goes out to all our friends and family went to support us!!! It really meant alot to us. *90 degree bow* We'll get better and better!!!
Here's the video of the performance that day~~
Peace!!

The bullying continues after a week of AFA, T^T..Ong went to get the photos from xin you, luckily, it's just photos, not a poster..if not, i don't know how to explain to my parents sia, hahaha..Luckily, it's just a photo..so, it's not so bad but still, OTL..
Went jamming on sunday evening, they were still chanting "PAWA, PAWA, PAWA!!" during the solo parts during the Don't Say Lazy..They put photo on the score stand facing me sia, wah biang, jit tao never give chance 1 la sia..never..So i had to look left or right the whole when we're jamming, talk about focus!..Haiz, besides that, jamming is pretty much the same, hahaha..-__-' Then off to douby ghuat for dinner, Mh was staving during the last hour of jamming, hahahaha..so we went douby for more food choices and we ended up in Carl's Jr. And the bullying did not stop at the studio, T^T..Ate, sat down chatted awhile then we went our seperate ways home!!

When we are about to leave, we saw that there is photographing service with the maids, so..they push me to take a picture with them, and my phone rang, i turned to a side and answer the phone..Bad move..Real bad..they just filled up my name and her's..It's just damn embrassing la, last time don't have the chance, then now..haiz..Jit pai siao liao..Thanks ar, LiAR, -__-; Took a picture, waited for it to process then off to Ranking to get a snare bag, hahaha..Mad rush, we left MMK almost around 6.45 and Ranking closes at 7..Took a cab down and got there in time..hahaha
Just when i thought the sabo-ing ends there..i was wrong..
Went to scape for jamming on Sunday, they never once stop doing the freaking cat paw pose at all, just kept doing and doing, plus the "power up" dance too for the whole 3hours of jamming..I tried my best to turn away but stil..haiz..then Xin You called and asked me to a poster holder tube for him,so we went to get 1 for him at art friend in Taka and went to Suntec to pass him..Upon meeting him, passed him the tube, then Ong told Xin You to go to the AFA shop and get a poster, i thought it's for him, but wrong again..He told him to get a poster of her..for me..WHAT THE SHIT!!!! Then we had dinner at Suntec after that and call it a day..
They really pay money to my pain..Thanks ar, hahaha
Peace!!

Lost!?!?!
Feeling quite down recently, all hopes were lost in reaching the Waseda girl, the screw up during the auditions, due to that I saw my own limitations as a drummer too. Tried to get some new members to join us which always ended up saying no or just MIA, jammed with 1 of the SCC bands and that didn't go well either. Everything seems going in the opposite direction of where I wana go. Tried talking to a friend but ended up with him asking me to log in to.. Well, that works too. I guess no one takes you seriously when you gives others an impression of a comcial tell others you're feeling down. Or some just choose to ignore what you're sad about and expect you to feel their pain when they are feeling down. I guess it's the Bystander Effect, everyone with the thinking "Aiya, sure got someone else is willing to listen to his whinings" ? Studying ISP does has it's advantages, hahaha.
Another reason is because happenings of a character in a TV series kinda reflected some of the way I do or view things? I know this sounds crazy but yeah..spend sometime reading it. The dude in the show is a very hard-working person, anything he did not understand or know how it works, he make sure that he learn/study until he is good in/at it. He believed that if others do a 100%, he needs to do 120%..but everything he worked hard for, either end up wasted or ended up in a bad way. Friends turned their backs on him for all the wrong reasons, and he lost a leg in an accident. Similiarities? Link it yourself, though I didn't lose any of my limps :s, hahaha..Anyway, it's played by the script so try not to look so into it.
Overheard a conversation between a grandmother and her grandson on the bus on my way home from school, The grandson wanted something badly, i don't know what it is but I'm quite taken back by the reply from his grandma, "Son, the harder you try to hold onto something, in the end all you manage to hold onto, are your fists only." I guess the grandson is too young to understand that, but it just hit me as if she was saying that to me..
Grandma, if you're still alive, what will you say to me?
Send me some guidence, I'm kinda lost.
Lost, not emo. Hahaha~
Peace!!

Music Week?!?!
(My 1st pair of Artise Series Sticks and Limited Edition sticks RINA's Limited Edition Sticks~~~ Stick bag sold seperately~~ RINNNNNNAAAAAAA!!!!)Ended school at 6 on friday, saw Jason on the bus,totally knocked out, hahaha..Went to meet XY to get my stuff, haha..Chatted awhile then off to cineleisure, he wanted to play afew rounds of PDA, hahaha..Then went back home after that.
Then we waited for quite awhile for our turn and here we go!! We were given 30secs to do a soundcheck..Then we began, and I messed up..Though, it did not affect the song badly, but the auditors heard it, damn fed up with myself..We practiced so hard, so long and I just had to fuck it up..Damn it..Then we took a bus to Marina Square, went chilled at KFC, and off back to home after that..
I guess I will spend the rest of the time being fed up with myself until the results are out..Just wana take this opportuntity to apologise to the band. I'm sorry that I screwed up..Sorry.
DC
Muiscal Weekend!?!?!
As for the title, yar, it has been 2 weekends filled with music!! Hahaha..Went down to cineleisure to support the bands for SCC that were performing on Friday and Saturday 2 weeks ago. They are Last Warning and Lipstick Lullaby!! Supposed to jam in school on friday but i was late, the booking was 5 to 7 but I end lessons at 6, saw Last Warning using the studio instead, so we sat outside instead since we're supposed to play an acoustic song. But to be honest, I'm getting bored with the band already, as in the school one..Of course I'm NOT saying that I'm too good for them or they suck, they're good!! But just that I don't really agree with the things they do, practice just twice before a performance?? I think that's really risky..Maybe I'm not as attached to LiAR as to them, and not as confident with LiAR as with them..Well, enough said with them, haha
Went jamming on saturday as usual, lunch after that then chatted awhile but there's still quite some time left before Lipstick Lullaby's performance so I met up with my parents, they were planning to go MBS..and i joined them, went in Like A Boss!! Hahaha..Saw a world canoing competitionat the floating platform before reaching the MBS..Then off to cineleisure to support Lipstick Lullaby!! And called it a day after their performance.
Peace!!

It's Been Awhile!!
(Yar, Kipi was at STGCC, T.T)
Yup, it's been awhile. Exams are officially over!! 1 semster of school has just ended!! Now having holidays till mid oct..And of course, what's best?? Birthday after exams!! *not much of a big deal though* hahahaha
In between the 2 papers, i managed to find time to go to the STGCC, hahaha..i went with Ong this time..Since both my papers are 1 week apart, so i thought it's good to relax alittle bit la, hahaha..This year's event was smaller and lesser people compared to last year's..I think it's because the Natsu Masturi was held on the same day at the Jap School in Changi..And there's no student price tix, damn it..they must have heard Ashley saying why they should have student price tix when the kids are holding iphones and other expensive gadets last year, wasted sia..hahahaha..Ong and i was walking around with the mindset of "i must get something today" and in the end, we didnt buy a single thing..hahahahhaa
Victor bought me lunch on the 27th, sat..Went to Ma Maison at Bugis, the place is nice, and very japanese feel, and of course the food is good too..Well, it's a japanese western cuisine restaurant, of course got the jap feel la, hahaha..Went to walk around Bugis, and eventually to Suntec..XY said there's a event over so i asked Vic if he wana go check it out or not, and off we go!! Turns out to be nothing much there, it's just for selling Comiket items, which just ended in Japan..but still, just walk around nia, hahaha..then meet XY and we saw a working Diversion Meter *don't know if i spell it corretly*, hahaha..a working 1, saw the insides and i was damn tempted to destory it. Why?? Because i saw a freaking AT89C253 chip in it!!!!! It's the same feeling i saw the R2D2 at the STGCC, reminds me of the freaking robotic car mini project i have to do in school..Vic and I then went off to Wang Cafe to take a break, our legs were damn tired already, hahaha..And we went home after that.
As for sunday, it was a stay home sunday for me, hahha..Monday, the big day!! hahaha, actually got nothing much happen anyways, hahaha..just a ton of sms'es, facebook posts, and emails wishing me happy birthday, and i went back to school to jam, hahaha..going back to school on the 1st monday after exams to jam, damn garang sia..hahaha, but it's jamming so yar, nothing to complain..Then off to a family dinner celebration at night and went to meet Nash after that to lepak, and back home after that..
A big thank you to those who wished me, no matter in what form, shape or size!! And of course to Victor, the Ma Maison was nice!! Thank You!!
Peace!!

As Time Draws Closer!?!

Triplefi. 10 aka TF10
"Gunmetal Blue"
Nothing much going on this week, didn't went out on the weekends..Just focus doing maths, practice and practice, hahahhaa..Went to meet Victor on friday, he waited for me in school, so i walked to SIM to find him, i walked along the main road and he was waiting for me at the connector between my school and his, -__-'" hahahahaha, Went to take a train to tampines to hang out, but we made a stop at City Hall, went to Jaben to check out the ES8s for my TF10..the orginal cables are too stiff already, it's gona break sooner or later with me squeezeing it in the carrying case and it's kinda uncomfortable after wearing for a long period of time..And as for the ES8s, it's sweat resistant and tangle-free..i do sweat alot so yar, but i didn't get it that day..hahahaha
And I guess somethings are pointless to fight for anymore..So i think i shouldn't feeling so dwon anymore, it was as simple as whether i wana let it silde or not, but i pondered, wavered, i just stubbornly refuse to give up..almost like i'm trying to make myself a tragic hero in a tragic story..*NO SCARED - ONE OK ROCK on repeat*
Yes, songs do affect my mood..
Peace!!
