"happening", chim month...

sat... it all started with the eawards..
while on the way to buy lunch.. then we heard a similar voice...
绮贞! =P she was doing her sound check.. i think bevlyn n me went abit ga ga for a while.. haa..



and that's the closest we would get b4 the 工作人员 asked us to leave.. eh..
i tot we will be able to see her in a closer range or even take photo with her at the post party or something..
but no loh.. she disappear so fast.. haa..

sun... so then decided to go to her autograph session the next day! keke~
well, i tried to take photo of her.. but i was too far away and i dun have those SLR cam lor.. seems like more n more ppl own a SLR nowadays eh... found some photos online thou..



manage to get her autograph n shook her hands! =D of cos as u will know.. i couldn't say a word when i saw her... haa (oh well.. yeh.. i couldn't say a word with any person i not familar with! =''=)

mon.. went to drum workshop by Sonny Emory.. (well know as drummer of earth wind and fire) which was Amazing!
thou i fell asleep for awhile during his 45mins solo... haa.. too chim for me ba i guess..
the answers he answered and his demonstration at the qna session was very insightful!
i always have the interest in drum... didn't have to chance to really learn or play thou..





tues.. went jamming preparing for gig

wed.. gig at sp to help sp guitarist club for their enrollment week..
thou not many ppl were at the showcase.. it was gd "training" for us.. haa after that when to echo for lessons..

sat.. went to mosaic concert - Brazilian Darlings: A Double Bill by Eliane Elias & Ivan Lins
.
Eliane Elias and band did mostly bossa nova stuffs.. her singing and playing on the piano.. amazing... the bassist (mark johnson who is husband of eliane elias) and drummer (didn't get his name) was ... Amazing (running out of vocabs here)
and Ivan Lin's music sounded more "modern".. i guess that was Brazilian popular music
.. seems like a fusion of brazilian, jazz, pop, etc.... the solo the guitarist did.. out of the world...
on the whole.... very de CHIM!
i say until like i know what they playing right... i DUNNO a THING! haa
struggled to keep myself a wake for quite a while actually (becos of the long day i had also eh..teaching from morning) ..opps.. feel kinda bad to fall asleep when these pros are giving their best on stage...
so nice to see them really.. n REally enjoying themselves...

sun.. after church ..suppose to help out for church youth camp at the forest adventure (bedok reservoir)
but the rain came.. and they have to change their plans... hai hao eh.. the flying fox thingy looks rather scary for me... hahaaa.. n was suppose to look after the youth.. i think they look after us, the "old ppl" 还差不多.. haa
then all of us went to kallang leisure park.. the youth went to ice skate.. and we just "toured" the place n slag at coffee bean...

rushed off then.. for... yet another mosaic concert - the yellow jackets with mike stern..
3 words... chim Chim CHIM! for the first few pieces... can hear that there are no landing point to the "melody" at all... its like going on and on.. u can't expect what to hear next.. that is jazz guess (abit fusion eh.. ) chim..

2 nites of consecutive Chimilogy music.... wow.. really will have headache eh..
i really think i'm not considered as a guitarist after hearing them.. hahahaa...
again... enjoy seeing the musicians.. having fun and enjoying what they are playing..
something to learn from... enjoy urselves on stage.. =)

this week... will be involve in renci hospital charity event..
yesterd after the rehearsal.. the in-charge took us on a short tour.. kinda sad to know there are these bunch of ppl who are waiting to die.. and the other hospitals ard couldn't or didn't have enough space for them.. life is fragile.. treasure the ppl ard u...
