Here's a short and brief explanation about the previous entry. "It all" refers to everything around me that went wrong in the past few days. It was like everything had messed up at the exact same time until the point i really couldn't take it anymore, i went into that super dao, super F.U.B. mode which nobody likes. Sorry to all whom i've offended because of my state at that point in time.
Well then here's the update proper. Thursday we had PE for the last period. Teacher let us play games, so the class split to play soccer and basketball. After about 3 minutes of kicking around it started to rain. So we had to go back to the shelter. The teacher said PE was going to end in five minutes anyways so he called for the 'equipment' back and said we were dismissed. I then waited a little longer for track training. Going to the toilet i met sufian (is that his name?) and he told me that training had been postponed to friday because of the sa and jj soccer match. So having nothing to do, i left for home.
Thursday night i was in a huge dilemma. I had to choose what to do after school on friday. Track training, life concert, or jam session. Wanted to go for track because i already missed the tuesday training, and to miss another one would be really bad for my record. Wanted to go for life concert because i heard it was going to be good and stuff. Besides, it was a once in a year thing, so the next time i'd be able to go for it would be all the way next year. Wanted to go to jam because the arts tap auditions were on saturday, and we haven't had the chance to practise yet. Deciding between the three gave me this thumping headache, which only served to fuel my frustration even more. Think it got so bad to the point i 'snapped' at someone. Well, yea sorry. Decided to go jam in the end. Figured that i owed it to them because i had already agreed to go jam days before. Track training was such a last minute thing, i hope they didn't really expect me to turn up, and life concert, i just gave myself the excuse that i always give for not going for chaplain's hour.
So friday after school i left towards harbour front to take the mrt to jurong east. On the bus i received an sms from imran saying that we're jamming at this place near commonwealth, queensway that area, which was really near my home. Of course i had no objections to it. So i alighted at harbour front and took a bus back to that place. Met imran, haikal, joel and later timo. Haikal led us quite deep into the hdb blocks and into a provision shop, which hid a jam studio. Thought it was quite cool. Heh... So after jamming for a while, we realised that pug jelly was jamming in the room right next to ours. Heh, really cool. Anyways, we just jammed like we usually do. Imran had brought his laptop to school for project work, so he used it to record "kiss my" a few times. Don't think we played it all that well but the song is taking its final shape now. Damn proud of it. Especially because i was the one who came up with the riffs in the first place. (ego ego) But of course it was altered and adjusted and tweaked by everyone else to become what it is now.
Saturday morning i had to wake up and get to school by 8.15am for a talk by MINDEF. I was really not looking forward to it. Was super tired in the morning and the stupid bus driver just made it worse. Show me some cb attitude. Reached school just on time. Went into the audi and sat with a bunch of sji guys. The talks weren't as boring as i thought. And it did shock me into wanting to start training up. Heh... The damn funny part was during the question and answer session. The army guy had showed us several 'sectors' of the army you could be posted to. For example guards, commandos, signals, etc. So we persuaded lau to ask, "You know those sectors you showed us just now right? When there's a war ah, which one is the first to die?" Heh the way he asked was also damn funny. But before he asked he said that the question was "from all of us". Haha... Anyways, after the talk i went back home. Oh yes, the damn security guards at FC are bloody assholes man. Stare stare stare... nbcb.
After a while i left to meet joel and timo in farrer market for lunch before going to city hall to meet imran and haikal. Stupid timo took so long to come down. Grr... Haha nevermind... So by the time we all met, we had to leave. Took the bus to city hall, then ate in ljs. Imran and haikal came shortly after. While waiting for haikal to finish his lunch, imran decided to tune the bass he borrowed for haikal. So tune tune tune SNAP. The E string of the bass bloody snapped. It was half funny, but also half screwed up. So we rushed to davis and restrung the bass there. Timo also sent his guitar for repairing. Turned out that he'd have to wait about an hour for his guitar to be repaired. Thing is, we didn't have an hour. We had to be there in about 20 minutes. So we had no choice but to borrow a guitar from some band down there. The cabs refused to take the five of us, so we had no choice but to take two cabs all the way to eurasian community house in ceylon road or something. Got there on time, had to wait a while, tuned our guitars, and psyched ourselves up. Finally the time came. The room we auditioned in was super cool. It was damn professional looking and all. Heh... We took rather long to set up, equalize, decide on what song, and then play. The judges pointed that out to us after the auditions. Played "kiss my" and "all the small things". I was kinda scared for the first song because we had never played it really well before. But i must say we did it the best so far that day. "All the small things" was good, except that the judges said our backup singer was louder than the lead vocalist. Doesn't concern me, and i don't know how to rectify it so i just left it as it is.
After it was over we signed the contract and took pictures and all that stuff. Went downstairs, got a drink, then headed back to city hall. Met brian and si mun there, talked for a while, then went back to davis to pick up timo's guitar. I went to restring my guitar for the first time since i bought it. Haha... Finally finally. While it was being restrung, joel, imran, timo and i were playing with some static generator thingy. We held hands and all to pass the charge around and shit like that. Was damn lame, heh... So after that went home. Met them again in farrer market, before heading to joel's place for a while. Saw this absolutely crazy video of a guy playing a guitar solo. I could swear that he was possessed. You'll think so too when you see it. Anyways, left really soon after. Went down to town and met jessie and mick. Went to wisma's kfc and ate my dinner there. Christine came late as usual, no big surprise. After spending some time in town, we went to holland village. Walked around there for a while before heading home.
Today was more or less my usual sunday. Church followed by breakfast. Leslie, justin and andrea came over after to bum around in my room until cat was over. Then they left. After that mum brought me and doug to isetan to buy shoes. Not sport shoes or anything, but those kind of funky old-people shoes. Haha... I don't know how to describe them, but the pair i bought has a rather odd design. Haha nevermind, you'll see them when i wear it. After that went for usual lunch, then went to pick dad from the airport. Came home, then went for soccer. Came home, then went for dinner. Came home, then now i'm blogging, but very soon, i'll be sleeping. Very very soon...
