Hmm... Wonder how the FA Cup Matches went... Woot! Man U 3 Wolverhampton 0, Liverpool 2 Portsmouth 1. Bolton 1 Arsenal 0, Everton 1 Chelsea 1, West Ham 4 Blackburn 2? Hahaha. Well... Seems like Chelsea can't seem to beat Everton...
K... The past week has been really awesome, no doubt about it. Although most days I reached home about 9pm, I'm feeling better than ever. I think its thanks to the Lord's healing and rejuvenation, cos the the days leading up to Eden-Sol's first live performance, I couldn't think of anything else except him...
Went for jamming on Tuesday and Thursday, lugged my bass to school with me, and put it in the council room with the help of my OGL... Then went about school as I usually would. Had PE as my last lesson but didn't need to change into the PE kit, cos my class was late, and we only had the weights room briefing. Afterwards, went to get the bass and set off to Serangoon, where the jamming studio was.
In total, we jammed five songs for our performance.
Underneath the Son - Teo Guoren
A Reason to be Fine - Teo Guoren
No Tears in Heaven - Samuel Lim
Rain Down - Delirious
What the World will Never Take - Hillsongs
Somehow, we managed to complete these songs in 2*2 and a half hours, which makes a total of 5 hours! One song per hour.
Soon, the day of reckoning came... The performance on CNY celebrations day! We were the first to perform out of the 3 bands, and we had a duration on 30 mins, which we fufilled eventually. Changed into my polo tee and jeans, and went to carry the amps. Wah. The other bands didn't help us carry the borrowed amps from the jazz club... Haha. Well, we set up, and people started coming...
I think we played well, although I forgot the bridge chords for the third song. Haha. The feedback I recieved was that we played well, but needed to work on a few things...
1. Getting a singer/Improving our singer's voice
2. Softening the drums/Increasing loudness of other instruments
3. Getting tighter as a band (Duh, thats what every band needs)
4. Remembering the chords (Especially me, Haha)
I think we're really close to perfecting point 3. In fact, I think the fact that we're a Christian band and have experience in our various ministries helped us in that. Oh! I heard someone said that he/she could see that I was really focused and into the music. Thanks, whoever you are! But still, all glory be to God! He was the one that empowered us to do great things!
Thanks to all those who came down to see us play as well! Couldn't have done it without you guys!
Went to RI to see the teachers and play cards (I think the RI teachers closed an eye). My RI class peeps saw me in my rockish attire and told me that although I look rock, I don't actually act like a rocker. I treat that as a compliment! Haha.
Went to AAL's house after that, and went back to my old school. The new JPS compound is big, but the new principal restricted us to a small area. And the very fact that I looked a bit rockish freaked her out I guess. AAS was there as well, and we went back to his house to play a bit of Marvel vs Capcom 2, and Fatal Frame, which was really really freaky!
Hmmm... So thats how the week ended. I think this post is getting really long, will update about my CNY activities later... Just one spoiler... I'm losing money now. But its only $1.80. Don't worry, I'll gain it back. All I have to do is play Mahjong. Haha.
