I'm back... as in i'm free enough to blog something!

Hi everyone, I'm finally back to blog something. Think i'm just too bored and also at the same time suffering from insomnia. So there's no choice, instead of playing MapleStory or Diablo 2, i chose to do blogging. Want to let you all know what i've been going through for this whole December. Starting from where i stopped at the JJC Pageant at Music Underground on the 3th. The following week i forgotten all the shit that i did. Probably i did nothing, that's why there's nothing for me to recall. I should say i slacked and went for a few Mus'Art practices.

Talking about Mus'Art. Ever since i went in that small little room that housed so many good musicians. I felt so darn inferior. I may be playing percussions longer than some of them, but my standard is much much lower. Having this inferiority within me, i developed a sickness called the TIMID musician. Basically, you will be just unsure about every beat that you play, without any guts to play Fortissimo really loud, and also the lack of confidence to show your rhythms. It's kind of bad. Cos instruments in the percussions are often loud and only one person is playing it. So if you chose to stop, everyone will notice the pause. If you chose to carry on without confidence, everyone will notice the irregular tempo and often wrong rhythms. It's super saddening for me to realise how bad a musician i can be after playing for like erm... 5 years? nearing to 6? I'm quite skeptical about performing at VCH for Mus'Art. I'm just introduced back into the Band scene for 3 weeks? And i'm off to a concert? Even though, the parts that i'm given are manageable parts, but there's still a bit of importance here and there. I can smoke through my way in the practices, but never will i have the chance to smoke through few hundred people at VCH. Damn... should i get started with more practising? As people all say, practice make perfect. Considering the fact that i managed to get through the concert without any major mistakes. I may still be very unsure about joining the band for good. I'm so lousy and the people there are like superb especially the professional drummer who is only going to attend two practices and go for concert. I don't have the guts to continue putting shame onto myself in front of the band. I have enough of all that. Used to be daring at JJ, cos there's no pressure. Now, a wimp once met all the better ones. Damn... i'm such a loser. Never mind, shall put this shit aside until i need to make a decision about it.

After recovering most from my thigh injury and neck. I accidentally hurt my back through the night on the 13th. Think i didn't sleep properly for that night. The back is super pain once i try to bend down and even sit down and standing up. Luckily the pain subsided the next day. 14th was Mus'Art practice again.

Then on 15th, i went Ubin again with almost the same gang but this time with a new person stranger to Ubin, Shunfu. Everything was almost good and injury free until the destroyer who is me try to pull some stunt in and cause Marc to injure himself again. With all the injuries over old injuries. It's kind of bad for his body and health... And i'm the devil at work. Haha... But then he's still as strong as steel. Full of zest. Fell for the second time, by himself, still could finish the whole shit with us. Whereas, the expected one to delay all shit Shunfu, really did manage to cause some delay by the late thigh cramps. Which i had for my first journey to Ubin as well. Hated those cramps. They come non stop, you just have to forget the pain.

On 16th, i went for my Aunt's birthday at Pasir Ris instead of going to Marche with 03s12 (SZ, Nard, Mark) Heard from sz, there's only four went. I was so relieved. Haha. Chose to go for my Aunt's cos it's a long time since i last met my cousins. So i have to appear once in a while to make sure that we are still good brothers. Helped my cousin to move house as well. Forgotton which day. But it was cool to move some heavy stuffs after rotting at home for a whole week.

On 17th. Okay this is the sad part. I don't want to elaborate. I may start stabbing myself with a big big knife. Just one sentence, i failed the pilot selection test.
After that, i went to meet William and Karen to go get food for the following day's BBQ at my place. We went to Giant. It's a really fun experience when i did a full shopping for BBQ for the first time in my life. Always leave all this to my mum, guess i've learnt quite a lot in this trip. Karen picked fresh prawns while i picked Squids and Stingrays. It's kind of fun meddling with those seafood with the plastic bag over your hand. Haha. Then we bought a lot a lot of stuffs, filled up the trolley to the brim. But under wise calculation of prices, we managed to buy lot of stuffs within a 90 dollars budget. Haha. So great. Taxied our way back to our house. Did a lot of preparation on the food that we bought back under supervision of my mum. We cleaned the squids, my mum seasoned it. We cleaned the chicken wings, my mum seasoned it. We cleaned the prawns, yes my mum seasoned it. We cleaned the stingrays and we seasoned it. Haha... Karen and William left quite late that day at about 7 to 8. It's a fun experience but worthwhile once we knew we are going to enjoy the food on the next day.

On 18th, it's bbq at my house. Everyone just came in at different time until 6 when most of the people are here, we went down to start the fire and prepare the food stuffs. It's a enjoying time when we eat nice food from the grills and as well as enjoying the topics that we talk about and yes it's all the council jokes that we missed. Haha... nothing much... it's all about gathering eh.. it's just pure fun...

19th, it's Mus'Art practice again.

20th, called Zy out to look for job. Instead of finding a office job, we accidentally got cheated to work in a factory and do some super dirty and hot job. It's kind of hell if you want me to use a word to describe the working place. ya... don't ask.. i'm terrified by that place.

21st, it's some Chinese festival. I think if i'm not wrong it's Yuan Xiao Jie. Eat Tang Yuan one. if i'm wrong please tag and amend for me. I went to the temple with my parents to pray my grandparents as well as great-grand parents. Nothing much. Came back. Rest and went for Mus'Art again.

22nd, my secondary school friends called up me on 21st to play basketball at jurong spring cc. Since it's just so near. why not? so i went. enjoyed myself talking to them. chatted more than i played. which is good. Cos i've lost all my skills in basketballism. Haha!

23rd, watched KungFu Hustle today with SF,CL,WJ,BY and MK. They shopped for Prom stuffs as well. Walked until my legs are really soft. Ate Hans before going back home. Supposedly to take the basic theory today but i didn't bring my ic. Postpone it on 11/1/2005 if i can.

That's all for now.. Will be updating more regularly if i'm at home. Sorry to let you all wait for so long for this post. Haha!
