[ MUSIC ; no music, no LIFE. ]

Alrighty!

The week has been quite okay.. Really gotta get my projects going at a faster pace though.

Its really funny, on how people around me are doing. A friend of mine, Sel, is already coming back to Singapore.. Atikah's doin fine in Aus as well.. Debbie's in Aus too! Well.. Almost all who went overseas to study are female.. Why?

Cuz guys simply need to do National Service. Whahahahahhaa..
I'm kinda glad I saved two years on that.

Speaking of which, I wanna continue my studies after I get my bacholer degree.
Wanna do a masters degree but hmm. I really like to stay in Singapore.

THere's my hobbies in Singapore... My bands, my friends and khakis.. My cycling sessions..
The late night drive out for supper. Man! I miss those things!
Its just different in the UK.

But then, life is so much less stressful here in the UK.
The pace of life is slower, and people aren't really the workaholic type.
Oh wells!

If i could, I wanna pursue music here in the UK. And be a professional musician who specialises in smooth jazz. Big band really got me motivated to pursue music.
BUsiness is just ya know, boring. Music takes the joy of the moment, a new feeling that gets fresher every day.

Oh wells. Being a jazz musician in singapore ain't gonna let me live comfortably.
So yea, guess i'd have to stick with boring and dry business related stuffs.
But nope, i'm not gonna give up on music.
Its just something thats not on my priority list.

I don't wanna stay in Singapore. Its like a frog living in a well.
One good example would be a certain musician i know of in band back in SG. This guy plays well. And knows jazz. I thought he was good..

But here's the thing. I go for big band practice every tuesday. And guys, students, of my age simply just plays better than that SG dude in every aspect.

We played Straight no Chaser, Take the "A" train, Night in Tunisia on practices..
MAN!! THOSE WERE SOME FAMOUS JAZZ PIECES!
And they managed to play it so well.. Harmonics were good, tone was superb, volume was a blast.
Jazz improvisation was astounding..
WEE~~ Even the conductor joined in the fun to jam as well.
If only i could do something like this for a job!

Okay. I'm so gonna get lessons on the fundamentals of big band and jazz music. Wanna learn the scales, the blues and everything.

Oh wells.

Oh yea, dearie lyn, (this is gonna sound so naggy) please do take care of yourself..
You just skipped lunch, and that aint good.
*hugs*

Smell you laters.

# I'm a Christian. Anglican to be more precise. The traditional Christian. Christianity is not a religion, by the way. Its only a fact and way of life, but some people choose to live in delusion kinda like the matrix, or finally read the bible and realize the truth and becomes Christians. Rebuke me if I offend anyone, but a living God backs me. Hehe. Miracles beyond the doubt have happened. Cheers !
