Thoughts of a 'Man'

damn...it could have been the best ever....but again, for the fifth time ever......its not going to go well.....the the out of these 3, it was the worse today....the other 2 were only my mic problem and the bass pedal of the drums chain came off......blah blah....

today, serchung's mic to the amplifier was spoilt....luckily, evan saved us a little.....by turning up the volume, but still ppl missed the 1 min of his skills. 2nd, blardy jan's fingers or hand or arm, kept cramming!!! F***, his bass solo we worked so hard on, he couldn't even play it!! ahhh and 3rd......bass pedal came OFF........luckily, murani fixed on a double pedal....he had to move, using his right leg on the left pedal, and crossing his hand, over his legs to play the snare......we missed many beats........and well,it is obvious we lost the competition....sian.....we were the only ones with no sound check....

anyway, we improved a lot in terms of confidence and showmanship...not sure if ppl were really crazy, but they seemed very crazy....something weird today too, i just feel so grateful to the ppl around me today...

so i shall thank the list of ppl that played a part in making today a good day overall, even if luck wasn't on our side....i go according to 'occurance'.......firstly, i want to thank my sister's new salon, who helped me cut some nice hairs, thank you to the hair stylist of course, kelly or something........next thanks serchung's parents, they are really kind and generous, and you can feel the warmth all the time, when i'm in his house.......thanks for fetching us to school also, and saving us the trouble to carry the load around.......next thanks to mike for putting up with our music in the studio........last year he recommended us to go to sg expo or something....and he kept giving us discounts wherenever we played at his studio....not sure if he opened the studio even when he has no work, just to let us jam.....thank him, for also giving us the best room in his studio from the last few(5 sessions?) sessions onwards......it has a tube amp, and better bass and guitar amps....haha...he even has kittens in another room...and for trustin us with his studio..wahaha....we'll definitely ask him to be our soundman in future, but we have no $$$ for now......i would also like to thank the arts soc ppl for organising this, and mr sas(who we thought was quite villainous before) for being quite helpful....they brought such good music today.......hmm the ava? their equipment was just what we needed, but they asked us to turn down our amps, which destroyed sc's sound.....so i don't know, but these two groups which i have just mentioned, tolerated with our demands......also would like to thank the bands and soloists that we shared the stage with.....i was really really an honour....esp michelle branch band(evan, the other guy, i forgot the drummer's name, and that really really really powerful singer(termed her plain jane..lol)...).....the red hot chillipeppers ( the pro slapper the, murani the drummer and iksan i think and the starer??.....lol....very good bassist and drummer).....was really happy for them.............and i want to thank, last but not least, the ppl who came down to support us even when they could have spent their time doing their own thing,really appreciate it.....and my classmates for cheering me on.....haha....i wanna thank my fellow band members also.....everything would not have happened without the mutual support....we all agreed we'll give a good show, and even though we didn't really suceed, we know we are at a whole new level now....
