Ahhhh.. Finally a normal post of me blogging on my daily life after so long...
Its amazing how fast can things in just a single day...
Yesterday I was so frustrated with life..I had so much of time to study, and I just couldnt bring myself to do so...
All I did was just spend a few hours reading the topics given by friends, praying ever so hard that the exam wud be exactly the same questions...
And I had to deal with the fact that Im gonna perform a song live that I havent mastered yet at
the plaza in the evening after my exam...Best part was I was on bass... An instrument that Im not confident at all...
I woke up this morning, embracing myself for what could be the most disasterous day of the semester...
And wat'd u know..
My whole life just took a dramatic change altogether...
The exact questions I studied the previous night actually came out...Seriously, every single question in the paper, i did the night before..
I was writing happily all the way...Next, I went into the sound & music studio after lunch, supposedly for our practice session before the performance...
And they told me the performance got canceled to give way to the funeral of a student who recently just passed away...Of course, I felt bad for it, but it was a huge relieve for me...
And so, we had the studio to us..
Wat did we do? We jammed a few songs.. Among ourselves, with Joy's friend as our vocalist...And after some time, one of the lecturer came in to the studio, telling us that the director wants
to see us...We went into the other room, and Farique of Melodica was there at the controls,
and the next thing we know, we are required to sing for their new patriotic album..Yea!!! Sing...
That was like one of my greatest fear... For goodness sake, I even try to keep my voice down when I sing to myself in my own room...
Imagine how I felt receiving the news and dealing with the fact that I would have to sing in the presence of a frontman of an awesome rock band (which i really look high upon coz of his guitar skills and his powerful voice) and the sound & music lecturers...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
So we just carried on...
I tried my best to pull myself together...There were about 7 of us there..
The lecturers taught us the song with the help of Farique on guitar..
They fine tuned us...Each part, they would get all of us to sing together...
And they would correct whoever is off pitch...And yea, I had to try to correct my pitch in front of everyone there.. Thank God I got it right the 2nd time trying...
So we did 2 songs, 2 chorus, tats it..
They recorded a few tracks, looped it to make it sound bigger...
And thats the end of day 1...Yup, day 1..
We did 2 songs, and we have like 6 more songs to go...
I honestly still cant believe im involved in this...
Although, yea.. its only a patriotic album... not something i wud reli listen to...And i never knew singing is that challenging...
I recently got involved in another band...
Was invited by Joy to fill in for bass... But after talking to them, they agree to have me as a guitarist since im way more comfortable playing that...
So now we have Andrew on drums, me and Joy on guitars, Davis on keys and we're currently looking for a bassist and a vocalist...
We focus more on gospel songs, reli... The main idea behind the band is to jam gospel songs, so u get the idea...
But all in all, we're good, still warming up to each other...Although the very first time i jammed with them, I honestly did not really like it.. Honestly...
But after that, that very night, right before bed, God just told me to carry on with them.. that is where i belong now...
Honestly, at that point I didnt feel comfortable in the band at all... Therefore, I kinda denied it all..
Till today when they agree to put me on guitar... I kinda see the light, that hope for me to actually have fun jamming with these people...
And im honestly comfortable with them today in the studio...Im just gonna carry on and see where it takes me to...
Let HIM lead the way..
From a totally dramatic and hurtful week,
To waking up to a day where I get to see all those worries go away,
And getting to live my dream even just for a short period of time...Just amazing how things could turn around..
I can only hope for it to remain this way...Well, for me at least...
Yea, its a very selfish post.. My apologies..
And I can only give thanks to HIM for all his blessings...
The only regret that I have is to see what a friend has to go through when Im having so much of fun...
Well, lets just say, things started off okay for him at the beginning of the day..Carried on all the way till late at night...
When he actually got his answers from the one he's been waiting for so long...Only thing stopping my day from being perfect....
I still had a great time altogether...Cant recall when was the last time I had so much fun... Both in uni and back here in Desa..
If only things could remain as it is...
If only I could relive this day over and over again...Im still looking forward till tomorrow..
Cant tell whats in for me in the studio tomorrow... Just can't wait...
Mind the cheap wordings in the pic and the messy post, its almost 4 in the morning and i desperately need sleep... :P
