title:{Sidetrack}

My brain is getting weirded. I think its too much internal thoughts liaoz. And being sick for about 1 week also can do that too. I don't know why. Everything I fall sick, I'll always thinking about mortality. Makes you step back and watch all the stuff you've done in your life, whether you're going the right direction, whether or not you're doing things right, whether or not you're serving God enough, or that everything is going smoothly. Kinda stressful. Although it makes the week past swifter since you got stuff to do, times sometimes flies.

So what am I going to do. Music. Probably stick with LIV and maybe move on to other stuff like SYC. I'm not very sure if I wanna go all out for the grading. Maybe take it as an exposure to how things go. Or train to be more pop-ish. Maybe after the grading. Then find some contacts to work with for gigs. Hopefully my secondary school friends. Driving, not too in a hurry to get into that. Not really have the time. Rather having a hard time trying to plan weekend stuff and juggling everything I have. Army sucks. Big time. Physiotherapy. Most probably going to stick to my decision. Haven't called the other guy yet. The fresh graduate from NYP course. Need to manage my time better.

Reading a lot of books lately. My dreams also getting weirder. Well at least that means that my brain is growing more brain cells with the activity. Good job brain. Keep up the good work. Hopefully you can get the body to recover faster. I hate losing my voice. It sucks. Watched Passion Of Christ. A very literally bloody show. Oh wells, shows Man's stupidity and arrogance. Makes you really think about things.

Not to forget to mention my charity stint at MJC. There held the annual Spastic Children Association of Singapore's sports carnival. Mrs Nathan was there to grace the event. Along with the Gurkha's bagpipe band. Super cool. Although it burnt half a day. I guess it was all for the kids. So many of them. Sad to see them suffering on Man's behalf for OUR FREAKING SINS. Some people just cannot wake up their idea.

title:{LIV}

LIV totally rocks. Its so cool. Though its pretty funny. First time a choir that doesn't have enough girls, and not enough Basses. Usually its the opposite. So I end up singing Bass. Not too difficult considering the low notes is easy to handle. It also lets me expand my own range. That way I could hit the tenor's high and the bass' low. Powerful indeed.

Kena a lot of mosquito bites. Like probably 50 or so. Though some I suspect it to be bedbugs bite. Stupid critters. Ended up with a nasty Fever. Sucks. Totally wanna die. Oh wells just gotta up my panadol consumption and sleep more. And sweat more too. Easier to cure fever if you make yourself sweat.

title:{Love And Movie}

Lots of love stories and lots of movies in a weekend. Went out with Grace who has came back for a summer break from her Upenn experience. Watched 'Priceless' with her at Vivocity. Fancy place. Especially when your laksa can cost $6.90. Freaking expensive. Oh wells. Anyway movie wise it was rather cool. A very interesting twist of a love story. I'd recommend it. Took some pictures. All my day shots end up nicer than my night. Gotta learn how to adjust the light thingy on my camera. The monorail looks pretty interesting. Looks like those skytrain in the Airport. They got bright colours too. Green, blue, orange. Very pretty.

Too bad the day ended pretty quickly. Time flies when you're having fun. Anyway. Just came home its already 1:00am. 20th May. A Sunday. Very tired. Watched '28 weeks later' Not a very nice movie though. Disappointing. I'd rather watch Spiderman 3 another time than that. And that's saying something because I think Spiderman 3 was disappointing too. Poor development of villains in the storyline. Yeesh.

Oh wells. Gotta go sleep early. Got an early lesson with HM. And going with ZZ to check out LIV. Very tired. Super tired. At least it was a fun day. A fun weekend. I'm loving it

title:{Drum Fest}

This blog is kinda late but I'll make up for it. Recap!. Last week was a blast!!. The semi-finals was a mind-blowing experience. One great performer after another. With my classmate WWL included. He was fantastic. The others were simply amazing as well. Great skills and I really don't have the words to describe their excellence. Save that the MC was kinda sucky. Super lame jokes she make. And saw a kid playing the drums as well. Uber cool.

Finally gonna take my Grade 5 in vocals next year March. So many songs to prepare and learn and memorize. Gonna sign up for LIV too. That will make my Sunday more interesting. Been listening to Yanni's Marching Season a lot in camp. Even brought my score along to try to learn. Gonna improve on my keyboardist skill. Brush it up to enhance my own personal CV.

My Dad sure finds the best contacts in the world. Got a Dr. David Ow to consult with on the career and education aspect of Physiotherapy. I'm so gonna do it man. Arranged another phone session with Franklin, the former's subordinate, who apparently just finished his term in NYP. A freshie as we might call it. Even better information source. I am so going to ace it lah. LOL. All the best for myself. The week passes real quickly when you got many things to do. Getting closer to ORD LOH!.

title:{Paranomic Excellence}

Man SAFTI live firing area sucks early in the morning. Like at 4a.m. Goodness. All the mosquitoes just swarm around you like nobody's business. Even with 4 baygon coil burning around they still come. Madness. Really spartan like. Stupid sia. I kena like 30 to 50 bites. I even got a triangular shaped bite which consists of 3 holes. Wah like tatooing sia. LOL. Especially the area of my leg above the boots. Wah, one nice circle of about half an inch worth of bites. Seriously. Madness.

However the good part is...I had a superb view of Malaysia, Second Link and more. Wait, superb would really doing the view injustice. It was super awesome. I could see the mountains, greenery of Malaysia. Though I must admit the climb up the steep knoll kinda sucks. Bunker hill they call it. But hey. I was like on the top of the world. I see the incinerator. The Second Link. Too bad I didn't have a camera. Kinda a waste.

title:{Aches}

Aching all over my body. Especially my triceps. All them dips and pull ups. All them intensive exercise. And I haven't lost a single KG. Still stagnant. I guess I gained everything back as muscles. Really sore all over the body.

Got some really cool songs. 'Sugar We're Going Down', 'Baba Yetu', the latter being a swahili song version of our Lord's Prayer. Super cool man. Had a flurry of emotions today. I was totally at a lost of what to make of things. Need to stop for a while. And take things slowly. One at a time. And maybe write down what I should do. Somehow overloading the brain ain't a good thing to do. Revise a plan for the future. Set goals, short, medium and long term. I'll probably write music for all 3 lol.

Got a small repertoire of lyrics. Storing up some. Just need some background music to go along with. Maybe can find those karaoke version of the song. Can't possibly find a guitarist. Unless I count that one guy that suddenly added me in friendster. LOL. Weird. Gonna start my search for more choir people. That will be under long term. Hopefully in poly can find what I need. Or gotta just get more recommendations by HM. LOL. Then maybe people will ask me along for their gigs. And get the ball rolling. Gotta pray hard then.

Well then gotta start working on my short term. Sing better. Use the face more. LOL. Monster singing as Sherman calls it. HM sometimes can be quite scary. All them high pitch. Oh wells. My first short term border already crossed. Medium would be to be on par with her. Or at least nearby. Or hopefully surpass. Prefably the last.

Got my No.1. Well at least its to be worn on funerals only. If doing National Day PGS, then will get tailor-made one. Then I'll sign the 1206 and woohoo!, my own personal No.1 I'd look good man. Everyone looks good in their No.1, though I'd prefer the beret to the peak cap.
