Hi guys, How have you all been? School started recently for most of ya, hope you are coping well.

Last Friday was a disappointing day of worship practice for me. For the first time i had so much problems with my vocals... It was so frustrating, I really wanted to give my best since it might be the last time i am going to lead YF worship... especially the song, "tell the world". Boy i kept getting it wrong.... So I literally set my mp3 to repeat track mode and listened it till about 12.30...

Sat morning, I went to meet a sister (means female friend, think watever ya like...) for breakfast at doubhy. was like an hour late, felt so bad to make her wait, so i treat her to LJS breakfast. Haha, the display pic for the dishes is deceiving... We thought the sandwich would be small, but haha, man its big. Good thing is its not too expensive and i got to eat her share, yeah...

but that was not the main purpose of meeting her, we came to challenge each other in Dance Dance Revolution! Yup! I dance man! And yer dun need to guesss who was winning who. haha, but the victory did not matter as much, i had alot of fun.

Then was youth. Man, frustrating again. Still could not get "tell the world". But hey, Thank God Somehow i managed to pull something off, and i felt everything went quite smoothly, except some wrong notes and drummer going off tempo or style at crucial points but other than that it was ok.

Then we had a interesting way of cramming the whole gospel of John into our heads. We had to work in teams to memorise parts of the gospel and then close book quiz. Our group did quite well. Hannah contributed alot, but the most epic moment was when we had to depend on small matthew for an answer and we were skeptical till josiah said that it was correct! Matthew, yer the man.

Stayed over friends place again. did recording... haha, somehow i forgot how boring recordings are... i fell asleep during the thing...

nextday, aunty jennifer gave my mum a ride to church. I am very thankful to her for that, mobility is really a problem for her... and service was, as usual. Then Feng Nan showed me lyrics for a tune i came up with, supposed to be a collab between Him and moi to write a emo song. Anyway no comments on whatever he wrote, it was all for fun.

But the highlight of the day was after church i headed for Justin's place to jam. The Bassist was going to be late, so we had a DJ max, a music game in the PSP, battle. haha i improved again! out of 20 matches i beat him 5. Okok, it may not be alot, but it was better than the first time i played with him. like 27 matches only 1 win. and btw its only the 3rd time i played with him...

Anyway, the bassist took longer than expected, we headed to his com room where all his equipment is kept. Can you imagine a small room no bigger than 3x3m with a computer, tons of books, at least 5-7 electric guitars, 1 keyboard, a drum set, a 20 inch amp, a 15 inch amp, 1 bass amp, 2 small 10 inch amps, tons of cables and 3 chairs to cram the already crammed place. haha

so for starters we did not know what to play, so i remember one of practices at home, i came up with a riff, it was inspired by one of the Paul Gilbert performances, cant remember whats the title. so i taught justin the style of drum in envisioned the song to carry, and we jammed a bit. Thats when the bassist arrived. Stupid Siddik, scared the crap out of me, he opened the door partially and waited there right in front of my face.

We played a few warm up songs, but pretty boring cos we do not have a vocalist. so everything we played by memory. Then Justin suggested we play the new song we came up with, so i taught Sid the riff, and soon he got it. Thank God his musically inclined. I just wish that most musicians are like him. Anyway, we jammed the song, and we got hooked on it! It was the best original we came up with ever since "we suck at guitar" and "Life". Since we did not have a vocals so i cant be bothered to add a vocals part. and split the song into mini sections for all of us to solo over it. Pretty cool eh, everybody gets to show their stuff. haha and thanks to the drummer we had to take 8 takes of recording to get what you will see later.

Ok, so heres the end product of the recording. What you will see is me jamming over the audio recorded live from his place. I am still hook to the song.



hope you enjoyed it and have a good week, gotta study for my thursday paper!
