Its been ages since I blogged! Partly cause I'm lazy, partly cause I'm busy. How busy? Lets just say some days at work I can hardly do anything except type and type and draft letters. From 10a.m-5p.m. No easy task man. Good thing is, the gigs are starting to roll in and everything else in work is getting more interesting. At the same time, I'm preparing to enter college once again, feeling rather excited that I finally get to study more liberal arts subjects and what not.
Went for Saints Alumni concert, really wanted to play this time, but they have like 15 percussionists which would make me really redundant, so I didn't play. After seeing Benji conduct for so long and playing under him for a while, I only just realized that he can conduct and interpret classical pieces very well, but for pop and contemporary pieces, I just don't get the same feeling from him. It lacks that punch I would say. No doubt his still one of the best young conductors I have seen, both here and abroad, such talent.
Still recovering from that knee injury and perhaps within a week I can finally start jumping and running as usual again and start playing tennis. Get a regular exercise routine together and stick to it, meanwhile learn a new sport and stay healthy too. Although the sport I really love is soccer.
Music to me is more enjoyable now, I listen to what I want and practice when I want, feeling more confident and enjoying myself alot more. More gigs are starting to roll in too, hope to regain full momentum once more.
Balance balance balance. Need to balance work life, music, love life and all other aspects I deem important. Time with the girlfriend has been cut short also! I miss you hon! Meanwhile my new car is coming this Wednesday and as much as I'm excited, I dread the idea of having to pay for petrol and maintenance, Singapore is damn expensive in that aspect.
