Wahh now got so much time but never blog much. So what I'm posting now.
Anyways hols has been super fun xD. Only thing thats suffering is my sleep cycle. For example: Wed prac in afternoon so wakes up at 12 noon. Thursday same. Den fri and sat wake up 8-9am? Den Sun wake up 1.30pm. Den Mon wake up 8am. I seriously need to sleep earlier even if i have nothing on man.
Anyway RJ band has been very good. Very different from secondary school in a lot of aspects. Attitude wise everyone might be quite slack but they still possess the discipline to work hard without people needing to pressurize them, and after all the participation is voluntary. Playing standard also higher, one prac <3 hours but can go through 2 songs and more. (oh i just realised my less than 3 sign is a heart sign making me look super gay. But i'm not.) Anyway my standard has been deproving even though i go for all the pracs since i graduated... I think. Ai yoh i guess must self prac more, cos i dun realy get to work on expanding range/slurring/tone and the works. Just whack until tired only. Anyways its fun. And the seniors are quite fun also. Its great that My batch is growing, at least got the usual 4 to mrt to jurong east ppl :) Except that Johnson will be shifting to his own house! Can't say i'm jealous, its not easy living alone, oh well God will be with him lor. Speaking of that now i have quite a few issues pertaining to church.
Firstly is abt me joinging jazz club/ wanting to joing at least. Cos it ends at 7pm and my cell starts at 8pm at yio chu kang. So in order not to be late i die die must leave early/ on time. But i dun want peer pressure to make me stay back later, so unless i'm disciplined enough i guess. Den also how to play for worship? That one is a must considering all the musicians going to army.
Secondly is how to coordinate cell worship. Its like doing as puzzle liddat. One combe cannot, another cannot. Den I need to lead to sing and bass guitar rite? Den drums how? So far no one has been quite up to task, except one? But thats only one person and there are coordination probs... Aiyoh pray that new people will rise up la.
Thirdly is church sunday service worship. Ai yoh that one easy: just need to put in effort and go for the audition. Cannot slack anymore.
Lastly is playing trumpet for sat service. Except that the person in charge said that high C is a very common note and considering that i can't play that more than 5 times a day i say i need prac.
Summary: Prac like some dunnowat. Except will i do it during the holidays?
Extra prob-what should i play if i join jazz? Bass? Drums? Trumpet? Or do something super radical like play trombone? Hmm cancel that out la no way. Hmm problems problems problems. But it'll be fun either way la so its ok.
Yay my church first worship album with all original songs is out! Lets see one song!
Haha. Hopefully i can get cell worship recording up here. I'm quite noob at these type of things.
Bye for now!

Haix, having exams makes me miss playing the trumpet again. Added with seeing the brass in church play (btw i think the horns own ours by 1 million times)... Soon, soon.
If I can play like this I wouldn;t be bothered to take eoys xD

Stuff^4? or 5
They're in the Jap market too. xD
Sometimes I wonder why Singapore's arts scene isn't as popular and I have a few reasons why:
1. Population
a) for performers. Imagine in every 100 ppl there are 10 talented ones, and only 2 of them choose to become commercial performers. For somewhere with a lot of ppl no prob but Singapore? Sigh
b) Audience. Its a fact that ppl support ppl of their own country more so for Singapore? too bad i guess
2. Culture
Singapore is a rojak. So songs will be either English, Chinese, Malay or Tamil. That means that Singapore is competing against the U.S. and British, China/Hongkong/Taiwan, Malaysia/Indonesia(? maybe), India markets. Meaning we likely fail.
3. Environment
Singapore trests some things as very important and some as not so. In US so what is someone is a construction worker? The reason is because of our economy lifestyle blah blah blah. Nothing wrong but this results in musicians choosing other jobs.
4. Stuff (yay i said it again)
Number 1 is the shockingly high prices for equipment in Singapore. No money to get good instruments blah blah blah.
Next is where to practise? Jamming studio so expensive and strict (only 2 hours liddat)=not conducive. Try to perform at home will get killed by neighbours.
Ya so nuff said
Bye

Haha third time in a row using that title. So original in unoriginality.
Which leads us to question and say that sometimes the best of something is when its not best. Perfectly imperfect, Flawlessly flawed...
Anyway have to mug more for eoys which starts next week! I think. (oops)
Den now that sebastians gone to army. His party was quite fun though played drums for one song-tears.
Yes I know i sped up and everything i'll work on that.
Anyway now have to lead worship this week. Imagine all the worship leaders are gone now. Bryan and Ian aren't in the cell, Uncle Mike's busy with his work, Sebastian and Darrel are in army. Truthfully though I've just been waiting to lead, just that I was waiting for someone to ask. Quite disappointed that I'm not in charge of lentor music though... After all I'm the one with the most experience and everything. It just gonna get very complicated when I try to organise things that my dad might not agree with and everything. Is it because of my age? But does age equal experience? Haix... nvr mind i'm not gonna let all this stop me, just gonna serve God with all my heart in any way I can.
I dunno why just can't seem to get enough of F.T. Island. Unlike some other groups where they have one or two good songs per album, the pro-song percentage is actually quite high. My latest fav song from them is from their second album. Find it something that you can listen and emo forever.

Seems like I have no good titles for my posts... lol.
Anyway the dmp period has been a good period for me i guess. Enjoyed the modules i took up, those play play ones like floorball, studying topics i find interest in like med physics and ideas 401. Chinese also not bad actually, had some mid-autumn festival celebration thing today, basically the teacher got a lot of stuff for us. Double yolk Mooncakes xD. The tea was good too. Actually the teacher that i feel my class under-appreciates is Zhou Lao Shi, cos she actually does a lot for us despite our nonsense.
Anyway, this period has helped me transcend from play phase to studying cos i've actually begun to mug a bit. If it was normal school no way man, oh well bad habits i guess.
Anyway perhaps its distracting but i keep thinking of all the stuff i want to do after exams, which is wrong considering that i should be thinking about exams. Anyway, musically i want to be able to improve in all my music:
Piano-from noob to ok
Guitar-from noob to ok
Bass guitar-from ok to pro
Drums-from ok to pro
Trumpet-hmm i really dun know where i am yet, lets just say i want to be 120% prepared for RJ
Which reminds me that I will also have to prac eupho after exams if i wanna play for rwinds. Actually haven't really lost it yet, i tried it out for a while, tone still can make ok with some effort its just reconditioning la. But RJ wanna play trumpet already if not all my money and effort wasted. Never mind play both la.
In terms of other skills I wanna know more languages, mainly Cantonese (cos itsmy dialect and i dun really understand) and a bit of korean/japanese (ehi wanna be able to understand the stuff on youtube without having to add eng sub to all my searches lor).
Physically wise I want muscles xD. Must work out more la later ns got to go in early i'll be damn sad lor.
And of course sometthing i want to do all the time is be closer to God. Read more pray more lor.
And I wanna teach band sec 1s. The least we could do for not teaching them as much as we would want to during the year(long story) would be to do it now. Anyway I wonder whats gonna happen when Joseph Danial Kenneth goes OIP in hols lor. Hmm...
Anyway I found quite a nice video while i was er surfing the net(oops).
[VERSE 1]
I should've done better when you were here
I should've told you when you could hear
that morning which had no difference
I already felt by the ring which woke me up
it's too late to put back the time
One last cry. oh please god try
please don't let her die on me I know it's a lie
I told you to wait for me to make you happy
you told me that you'll wait till I rise to the top
please endure it bit more, don't leave this world
God please pretend as you've never saw it just for once
it must be a mistake, god is not also perfect
he's trying to take the most precious thing in the world
[CHORUS]
8:45 you're going up to heaven, the peaceful world where only virtue exists
8:45 you're going up to heaven, if you can hear me..know that I love you
8:45 you're going up to heaven, the peaceful world where only virtue exists
8:45 you're going up to heaven, if you can hear me..know that I love you
[VERSE 2]
Holding your speachless hand..I just yell out that you might hear if do so..
please wake up, open your eyes
One last cry Let me say good bye
please don't let her die on I know it's a lie
even the world hates me I'm your best
no matter what people say you never blamed me the question less love..
that's the thing like God which makes miracle, the perfect, perfect beauty after God
The most beautifulist thing in the world
the most precious thing in the universe my love
[CHORUS]
8:45 you're going up to heaven, the peaceful world where only virtue exists
8:45 you're going up to heaven, if you can hear me..know that I love you
8:45 you're going up to heaven, the peaceful world where only virtue exists
8:45 you're going up to heaven, if you can hear me..know that I love you
[VERSE 3]
where did you go whithout your last goodbyes
My heart is filled with pain
Tho I drive 'em out with a deep sigh
Only pain remains
I see nothing in this empty world
But I try to smile
You might be sad if you see me so sad
I promise you I'd never ever forget you
I'mma let go of your hand
I like this guys music, actually Korean hip-hop RnB and the like is not bad actually, Epik High's quite good thing too.
