But first Pictures ~

The UCC! Its grand!



Day 1. the rehearsal



So ok blogger wont let me upload the rest of the pics i dunno why.
But first things first.
NUS is HUGEEEEEEEEEEE.
I met up with david on day one , the rehearsal day and we reached kent ridge terminal.
Walked up and saw a map.
You are Here was at the south west of the map
UCC was at the North-west of the map.
So we walked.
Pass the Arts and Social Science block , pass lecture theatre 11 ,
10mins later.
We saw a bustop and took a look at the map.

You are Here. We were OFF COURSE !!!@!#$%
The journey was like lol we were somewhere near the middle on NUS.
It took us a while to reach UCC.
SO. we finally reached UCC. David was telling me. " This place is quite prestigous , Theres this famous japanese ochestra. One of the best. They played here before. My school band went to watch. The president was the guest of honor ".
I was like. " Well yea. This place looks sweet but i doubt we,ll be playing inside. Probably performing in the garden...or smth."

But we couldnt find anyone in the garden.
We searched here and there and there was no one. Until we went to the back of the UCC.
We saw a security guard there and he had a desk. So we went to ask him. Wheres the genie's wishes come true concert?

He asked if we were performers. So we said ya. He asked for our IC numbers and Name. Then he took out this cool sheet of paper and our names were on IT!.

So.. we signed our entry and he gave us this cool lanyard.
It had the word Artiste on it.
While i may be sucky at guitar and all , it still felt great to wear that lanyard.
So we entered the backstage and wow.
We were greeted by many doors.

There were labels on the door.
Genie , Band , Singers , Peformers ,
I was like.. wow we have our own room. Thats sick. Turns out we had to share it with some others. But hey its still cool.
After putting away our stuff in the room , we went to take a look at the stage.
I was stunned when i saw the stage.
I was thinking. Wow this shit is class alright. They had real like REAL lights and smoke machines , there was a cool acoustic guitar there for me , a drumset , grandpiano , bass and guitar amps all that. The feedback monitors were awesome and i was simply stunned by the venue.

I admit , i HAVE to eat my words. I was blogging about how i dreaded this performance and it was a waste of my time and all but. Man, after seeing the venue , i took a 180 degree turn.
Sadly , we didnt get to use the largest hall but this was big enough for me.

So our rehearsal slot came and everything went smoothly.
After rehearsal went home but before that , david and i had dinner in clementi.
Wow clementi is so awesome. I feel deprived.
Clementi has like a dozen bakeries and lots of hawker centres , it has all your needs and a bank too!
At Eunos , all i have are people selling malay foods. While malay food is nice , i cant possibly eat Roti Prata , Murtabak and Nasi Briyani everyday.

So day Two. The actual performance. I met up with matthew and david at Eunos before heading to NUS. This time.. we were smart enough to take shuttle bus B.
Went through the same procedure and soon , it was time for performance.
Matthew met up with Jarvis and they took their seats.
I was waiting backstage.
The stageband was pretty awesome. Especially their lead guitarist. An old Malay uncle with Long hair and his guitar tone especially the bluesier ones were wow. Whats the word... Every note tugged at my heart.

Then , it was our turn. I grabbed the acoustic guitar , slung it round my neck and sat down.
Except.. BUMP! i nearly missed the chair and almost fell.. My butt hurt..
I was thinking. " Oh god Tim.. Not now... "
Anyways i was greatly motivated.
Daniel was like. On the piano , David *applause* and i mean the whole place was applauding. Then , on the guitar , Tim * applause *

So. when the applause died down. I counted.
while hitting my pick on the wooden surface of the guitar.

1 , 2, 3, 4
Strum. * No sound * ...... speechless.
Continue strumming * no sound *

But david already took my cue and started playing....
I was thinking. " Shet!!! the sound guy said that he,d handle everything for me. WHATS HE DOING!!! "

So at the corner of my eye , i saw the sound guy motioning me to increase my volume.
I managed to reach and turn on the volume just before the chorus.

From then on , things went smoothly.



Till Daniel forgot his lyrics.
So he was like..
Wont you tell her shes specialty...specialty....ohhh yeaaa.
Wont you tell her shes specialty.....
Wont you tell her shes beautifull....ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh .

From my point of view , it was hilarious. But i dont know what the audience was thinking.
anyways. i guess it was a success.

Jarvis , Matthew , Daniel , David and I went to clementi for dinner.
I had Lamb chop. It cost me 6 bucks. BUT DANG it was delicious.Yum yum yum.
Servings were kinda small though = /

So... thats the great NUS adventure.

Now.. about personal stuff.
I,m starting to realize that if i just stop thinking about that particular matter. I would feel better.
I,m trying to detach myself from it.
I,m trying not to rely on the support of M.
If i could do that. Would i be sad? On the other hand , if i could do that. I,d definitely be stronger.
