"The phrase 'Silence is golden' does not work anymore... silence kills you..." Setho Sing Fee had my drum lesson yesterday... it was damn fun... didn't noe what happened to all the guys in the class though... i was the only guy there... and also the oldest... rest were girls... 3 katong convent, 2 nanyang girls and the last one i dun know... actually only had 1 kc girl but i dun noe what happened... suddenly 2 kc girls from another class joined us... (or joined their friend) the good thing about having no guys was that the class was going damn fast... (the guys in my class all suck like hell... except me... really...) and some more the 2 girls from the other class learned what we were currently learning before... so they were like damn pro... scareded sia... anyway we were going so fast... i almost could not catch up... (keyword: almost... i still did anyway) we played 1 rythmn after another (some were damn cool...) had to sight-read the scores... then seeing that we looked so tired, he let us play some songs... YEAH... we played 'you're my angel' by shaggy (not sure of the title... but i noe it's something angel...) and some other song which i dun noe the title... anyway he turned up the volume of the hi-fi to almost the max and told us to "play what we feel". and so we did... DAMN FUN... i was practically bashing the drum set... then for the bass drum the foot pedal normally we would just step on it (as in the foot is on the pedal and we step on the pedal while your heel stays on the ground...) but during the song i was actually stomping on the pedal... haha violent sia... the after the song i looked at the bass drum skin and saw that there was a dent at the part where it was hit... oops haha...
i dun really wanna tok about today's dazu... but i shall just say a little bit... we are playing 3 songs for both the vs and st pats (short for sanitary pads) performances... ying2 chun1 jie1 fu2, xiao3 bai4 nian2 and xing1 nian2 ge1 da4 jia1 chang4... and as always the cny songs are damn lame... but what to do... haiz... at least my juniors can play the cny songs properly... their skills are a bit like crap... a bit only arh... if you compare the skills of the 5 of my juniors combined and the skills of daniel and me combined, i think we are still better lor... wah... best was still sec 2... haiz... can't stop reminiscing... still can remember... the 2 of us... can play whatever songs we got... we 2 could cope with whatever songs we had lor... then for some perfomance the 2 of us played 5 instruments for 2 songs... song bo... i was playing dagu, paigu and snare drum... daniel was playing timpani and xylophone... we were damn zai sia... but now... my juniors can't even get the pai1 zi3 right... kaoz... then some more they out of 10 times can only play correctly 6 times... that is rubbish lor... haiz... sometimes i think i'm pampering them too much... like today daryl cocked up (again!! no surprise...) and he was looked at me and said "are you angry with me?" and i was like "what you want me to do? kiss your hand is it?" knn sia... you make mistake you think of why you made that mistake and try to find a way not to make that same mistake again... and not look at your senior and ask him for forgiveness, losing your concentration in the process... and did i say i hate spastic people? yes i did, in previous blogs... every time i make mistake i will think of why i made that mistake (and sometimes creating excuses...) but the main thing is to make sure that i dun repeat that mistake... my juniors never fail to repeat their mistakes over and over again... and they must keep talking and talking during dazu... wah... i am sick of telling them to just shut up... so SHUT UP!!!
