:: Hope You're Happy Now - the sounds

argh!!! these damn fucktastic nordic bands. sometimes i wonder what i'd be like if i were born in scandinavia. anyway i'm loving the sounds now.

oh it's tt earth hour day now, is it? hah. oops. i know it's not tt hour yet but i feel a bit bad still. oh well.

today's jam was fun. i was so excited to jam after not having seen the guys for two weeks that i burst into the studio and, before even putting anything down, shouted: "HALLO! long time no see!!!" haha. i was so happy, beaming like a fool. and we did surprisingly well despite not having practised much and with loo playing without notes. kudos to us {:oD

:: Queen of Apology - the sounds

i'm back on the chain gang.

:: rock and roll - the sounds

as if the next 10 weeks aren't going to already kill me, i've agreed to jam with julius and his friends on a for-fun basis. this is one of their choices. love it. LOTS. {:o) me and the boys should do this too.

"Something sweet and something strong
Seems like love no longer can turn me on
Like the girls in suits and those pretty boys
I gave my heart to rock'n'roll."

mm how titillating.

no more sleeping at 3am. no more waking up after lunchtime. life is going to be quite different for the next 2 months at least. busybusybusy. i hope i don't get anymore new students till after i'm done with this cos i don't think i can handle anymore. i like keeping busy but being suddenly inundated with work and deadlines is not really fun at all. i like learning new things though.

and jamming is still my favourite distraction.

oh ya, perth was good. it was quick but good. like.... i'm trying to think of an analogy..... i can't. oh well. when i come up with one then. didn't manage to meet up with some of my perthlings; hopefully they will come to spore in the future and i can do tt tour guide thing i love doing. i don't like how pple say things like i'm the kind of person they'd imagine would want to migrate to perth. look, just cos i'm unsingaporean in a lot of ways, doesn't mean i don't feel like i belong here more than anywhere else in the world. i love my country for fuck's sake. it's funny.. i find it's the same for loo. he prob seems to pple like the kind of person who'd have more fun in perth but he's not gonna move anyway cos he knows well tt he's gonna miss it here.


i went to the chiro this morning to fix my foot which i had fucked up in perth just by walking a whole day in havaianas. it's not really something healthy pple can imagine possible - fucking up a foot just by wearing flipflops? absolute poppycock! unfortunately i am of (what zac calls) poor constitution and having to choose between health and convenience/style/comfort is one very big pickle i am condemned to be stuck in for the rest of my life. why am i talking so funny? stupid period. want to laugh also difficult. tsk.

would it mean anything if you knew what i'm left imagining in my mind in my mind would you go would you go kiss the rain.

jamming this sunday- yay! gig on easter morning- yay! but cheam will be away- booo. so timmy might be playing for us- yay! in the weeks following the gig, we'll try and build up our acoustic repertoire and maybe start writing originals- yay! i've probably already said it before, but this whole band thing is making me so happy. who needs a bf when you've got a band. hah.

every activity i had today (sat) has exceeded my expectations in terms of enjoyment and satisfaction.

i went for tuition without properly planning my lesson this morning but it went pretty well anyways and i feel like my little french boy is more outspoken in eng now so tt's really good. then i went to little india for voxcam prac and -other than slipping off the pavement onto racecourse rd and bruising and scraping my pasty white freshly-waxed legs and clumsy hands in the process- the pre and post of practice and the practice itself went pretty good. i actually managed to remember lots of my parts. i owe to a miracle + the hour of practice i managed to squeeze in before the actual sectionals. so all in all, it was pretty fulfilling and encouraging too, knowing tt i've still got some potential left where choral music is concerned. nothing beats a good music-making session (and yes, i do mean this in every sense it can be taken. heh). then met up with old rcy friends after 8 yrs of not being in contact. it was ok at first and then awkward and then ok and then it got better as i started to get comfortable in my spot of the couch in the ktv room. honestly, i don't like karaoke much. but there were several redeeming moments in those 4 hours (well it was four hrs... if there wasn't anything good bout it, tt would've been a fucking shitload of time wasted, wouldn't it).

so ya. today wasn't so bad and i guess tt's good. it could've been lots worse. i got an aching hand and a bruised knee and a scraped leg but i think i'll still be able to pull off a dress for my convo, so it's all good.

i probably could stave off emotional disappointment if only i'd stop expecting so much from pple. i wish i knew how. exhilaration seems to be costing a bit more than i'm able to tahan.

oh well. here's to indulgence.
