Lots of stuff to write about!

YOYO! Its been some time since I last posted something in this blog. So I have lots of things to write about. Things regarding my NS life back in Jurong Camp, my music performance outside and my relationship with my dear princess suat!

So I shall start with my relationship journey thingy. Many people are surprised that me and xt are together. In fact, we have been hiding our profile for almost one month le! (until the day when xt suddenly decided to let everyone know...) Life with her has been great! During our 1st month, we went to sentosa to celebrate! We went to underwater world, dolphin lagoon, musical fountain (songs of the sea) and the dragon trail. Due to it that its our 1st month, which should be very important, I wanted to make it more special and memorable. So I tried to think of alot of ideas to spice up the event, which in the end I thought of ideas that are very off... So I bought a pair of "cinderella glass slippers" for xt. Yea, I know its unlucky to do that... But I dont believe in such stuff. Maybe xt will, but I will prove that its untrue! Haha! And I plan a game during that day, which turn out to be a failure... Lol! I shall stop writing about this, shy le, more details ask me or xt personnally.

Next is my music journey as a performer. Recently, Yu Chun called me to replace him in his gig which is in 3 hours time cos he was ill. In case you didnt know, Yu Chun is the keyboardist for San Yue in Superband. I thought this is a good chance for me to perform outside in a gig since I never perform in a gig before. So I agree to help him. Then he sent me an email showing 24 songs titles inside, and around half of the songs I didn't hear before. And I dont have the chords for ALL THE 24 SONGS!!! Immediately, I called him regarding this problem and he call me to IMPROMPTU! WAH SO SCARY! By the way, its a wedding gig, EVEN WORSE, SCARY TIMES 2!!! LATER PEOPLE CANCEL MARRIAGE BECAUSE OF ME HOW??? He then sent me chords for the songs and call me figure out a way. I listened to a few of the songs, rush down to the gig and prayed for blessings. Lol! I never feel so unprepared in my performing life before, imagine playing for songs that you have never hear and play before, and you have to play it without having mistakes! When I reached there, Leon from Project Superstar called me to pick me up from the hotel. He say he is one of the duet singers. OMG! SCARY TIMES 3!!! But after some encouragment from my dear dear, I feel so much better.

During the gig, I do not dare to play any fancy stunts on my keyboard, cos I do not know how the songs sound like. I just play according to the chords that have been taken from the net, AND SOME OF THEM ARE WRONG! I told Leon that I never hear those songs before, and it got him pretty scared too! LOL! After halfway through the gig, an er hu player joined in and they wanted me to play with him instrumentals. OMG! SCARY TIMES 4!!! One good thing though, they cut a few of the songs cos I told them I totally have no idea what those songs are and the chords given to me were totally wrong. So I only have to impromptu 16 songs. But its still alot... Ok! In conclusion, overall performance... I did screwed up a bit here and there, but luckily the audience didn't know, cos I managed to quickly cover up. Its only between me and the singers that know the errors. Haha! The best thing is... I earned $320 from this gig. Shiok! And I did not know about this at all until the er hu player told me. It pays off in the end from all that stress! I have been blessed by God!!!

Lastly, its my NS life again! The story continues from the previous post when I was called back to Jurong Camp. When I was there on the 1st day, the superiors there call me to help the video team, which consist of 2 people, to work on the unit's anniversary video. And by doing so, I can stay at home everyday to do the project without the need to go back to camp at all until November 7, which is around 2 months from that day. I was like shocked!!! Wow! ITS LIKE HOLIDAYS!!! So I quickly do my project everytime and go out and play. And all the super high rank people will be watching my video in DXO! Shiok! Can become famous! However, the anniversary finally ended last week and I was told that I should get like a few days of off due to our "hardwork". Unfortunately, my superior can't give me off yet cos my unit is short of manpower currently, so I have to stay and help them for around 2 weeks lor... Sad case... And alot of people there (those who are not officers) are jealous of us having our holidays. So, they tried to give us alot of work when we are in camp. I had a great time working with my video team members, Pang and Ji Wei. Unfortunately, Pang have to leave us for his storeman course, which leaves me and Ji Wei stuck in Jurong camp. And given the information I got from the clerk in my unit, I will be changing to another place in 2 weeks to 2 months time cos I do not belong in Jurong camp. MDC auditions is in the 1st week of December, hope MDC will save me soon. Perhaps this is God's plan? See the connection? -> They may have to kick me away cos I don't belong in Jurong Camp and MDC audition coming soon. For now... I will have to stuck in Jurong Camp for some time, being busy again and assisting the clerk there...
