It's OVER!!! ... and I'm zonked out...
finally my dreaded year-long project implementation is over!!! this week has been insane man!! had to hand up 2 assignments on monday.. was up until 540am mon morning... then did this project from 10pm till 2am on mon, tues from 4pm till 3am, then wed from 1230pm till 745am thurs and 10am till our presentation at 2pm!!! yep 24hours in school... i think we actually did more work during this week than we did throughout the whole course!! =) but man i'm tired... not enough sleep.. and there were other things happening throughout the week as well....
tues night
met at creative while taking a break from project... luckily i'm not on friday, so can relax! hehe.. =) Ps David Evans organised the entire creative team to do recording for the choir vocals for the CD... heard they stayed from 730pm to 1130pm man!! good thing that I had to head back to do project.. but then also found out that Jindalee only needed 2 acoustic guitarists for sunday, and Sven can't make it, so Carl and I are going out west...
thurs night
after catching some snooze, met Nelson and gang at 8pm to celebrate his convocation! for once, Nelson looked real smart in his shirt and tie.. hehehe... =P anyway, then went to Jazzycat cafe at West End for coffee! I originally ordered a typical ice mocha drink.. but Laurel didn't really like her Affogatto, so I swapped with her. The Affogatto is black coffee with 2 scoops of ice cream in a bowl. real cool man.. Laurel put a little bit too much sugar though, but luckily still had the kopi-o bitter aftertaste.. =) then cos alex, me and milton hadn't had dinner, went to drive-thru KFC then went Milton's house to eat.. in the end we were there from 11pm to 2am eating and also talking with Regina about all sorts of stuff... from drinking, to army, even cursing!! =P
today
was asked by David Lewis to help out with Exo Day at Calvary Christian College at Beenleigh, that's where the daughter of Chris, who's one of the key leaders for vocalists, and Greg, who's our production team head (he's got his own av company!!) studies at... so cool man, the event is like organised for the students by the students themselves... like where to find in Singapore where the students are given that much freedom to run stuff... and it was well done too!! there was a free sausage sizzle lunch, stage with our BCC Urban Youth band (inc me) as the guest band, games, some dance, beatboxing, etc etc... out in the sun, in the school quadrangle... how cool is that.. hehehe.. =P So that was an interesting start to the day.. was glad that I was asked to help out.. though i stuffed up the chords quite a bit cos I only learnt the songs last night!!
then xlr8 was awesome as usual... Nick brought in his new toy.. Roland electronic drum kit to use... Andy mixed in the traditional snare, hi-hat and cymbals, but still felt that it didn't blend very well.... but the band sounded great as usual =) and it was a refreshing time for me, being able to just soak in and worship without worrying about chords or playing or song list etc... =)
that's for my long post... got another 3 more assignments to go before the exams... so ONWARDS!!! but first.... ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.............. *snore*
