been away for a long, long while. i'm trying not to sleep tonight. just back from sa concert. interesting walk there seeing people preparing for a rally speech in the hot little town of potong pasir, seeing reactions as we swept past macs' then into it, and yes, interesting lightsticks. haha. oh, interesting comments on stage too. anyway this week's been filled up with music, music, and more music. not that i'd complain at the fact that there's so much to do, mep lessons almost every single day and such, since i have to get used to it if i'm even thinking of going further in anything. it's been an eye-opener actually, which is making my senior isaac's words about these 2 years in that corner hidden away from the school being really rewarding increasingly true. we had a recording session which was pretty improvisatory and just damn funny la. then a trip down to the organ of the esplanade. behind the organ which faces the audience, a glimpse at the thousands of pipes. just for one single organ. ahhhh.. a trip to the backstage of the theatre in the durian. building an organ takes a couple of years or so, tuning an organ takes days, but being amazed at it takes a glimpse or a full chord with all the instruments/directions etc. damn classy. a cool three million bucks gets you the organ. hahaha.. i wish. more lessons, more music, more band, and cabbing down to the moe building from school. 2.4km today wasn't too bad. great to pace with zhong, and the weather was great to begin with. yeah, it was raining. haha. i've a couple of essays to complete by 7 hours or so. excluding sleep time. yawn. i wonder whether i've been neglecting many other stuff. well yeah, stuff more important than econs and maths. and gp and chinese. talking on the train, we talked about who each of us are closer to, friends or family? answer's pretty obvious to most of us, i guess. more effort for a compromise? surely.. some random day, i'd want to sit down at some kopitiam, sip some kopi-o, not sit in a corner to relack, but to just look at people. and observe. how much more does life have in store for those passing by. life's in need of a brake, terribly. performed 00:53 ©
