Concert

Last night, I went to Genting's Arena of Stars to witness the concert of F.I.R..
The concert was suppose to happen early this September but it got delayed due to
some political reason. So I had to wait for some time to witness it.

It was awesome. So worth the wait. There were many great songs performed but 3 parts were my favourite. It was the part where they introduce the band members because I got to see everyone of them do a solo with their own instrument.
The 2nd part is the last song before the encore. That song was 我们的爱.
After they sang it, the band use the melody of the song and played it while F.I.R. when backstage. The 3rd part is the last song of the concert which was Fly Away.
The live band was really awesome. It's really a different feel.

Although I keep saying how awesome it was, there's some not so good parts too.
The first problem was the mic prob. There's always mic interferences.
The vocals were great proving the point that 飞 can really sing but it was too loud including the backup vocal. Making it sometime too sharp. I also think the concert was too short. Only 2 hours.

With all the ups and downs, it was still an awesome concert for me. It really makes my blood pump bringing me to happiness. Rock on !!!

Feelings part.2

This time it's time to talk about 阿沁's 其实还爱你. Have you heard this song before ?
If you have, I'm sure you know the lyrics well and understand the meaning there.
Let me summarise for those who never heard of it before. It's a song about someone loving a person even the relationship is no longer there.

I'm sure all of you have experienced it before. The feeling of having to let go of a relationship when you are not ready to do it yet. The feeling of experiencing new things alone like a strol in the park when it's windy alone. The feeling of that cold bitter breeze upon your face. Nothing can compare to that.

Well that's what I think about this song. It's up to you what the song tells you.
I hope you can interprete this song as well.

Audition

The audition was held tonight. We were the only band to audition today.
We had some technical problems which led to a bad audition.
At the end of the audition, we were given comments by the judges.
Many of the things were aimed at me. For example, shaky voice, some notes flat and some more. I agree to that. I think it's my fault for not warming up.
He talk about many things. All which I already know but it's not easy to achieve in 3days. But they are right. We got in this together and we are all in this together.
I'll take this as our rising step to success. We're gonna practice more and enlarge our band.

ps. 3 person band get together for 3 days don't work. Haha

Happy week.

My school started this week. On Sunday I thought this week would be a drag.
My happy week started with the comings of the Annual Concert of the Guitar Store where I learned my instruments. The staff there ask me to join.
Seeing the chance I couldn't wait to sign up. I found the songs for the audition.
However something is missing. Band members. I went searching for musicians.
I only managed to find a drummer and a pianist. To me it's enough but we only have a week to prepare.

First jamming session was on Monday. It didn't go too well because the pianist is a classical pianist. In other words, pianist with no feel. So initially it was a vocalist, a pianist and a drummer. So I went and discuss with my piano teacher.
She told me I should play the piano since the pianist can play guitar. Yesterday I redid the arragement. So our band now consists of me on vocals and piano, the pianist is now the guitarist and a drummer. We got the hang of it and in today's
jamming session we finally got it. The audition is tomorrow. Time to test our skills.

I wanna see how a band made up of 3 person in 3 days do in an audition. Wish me luck.
Yi Li, Chloe, we can do it. Rock on !!! Btw, music makes my blood pump !!

Feelings

Ever since 阿沁 from F.I.R. came out with his own solo album, I have always like his
其实还爱你. Why ? It's simple. Nice lyrics, nice melody, nice feel. You get the drift.
Plus it's in my key. So I love to sing it when I go for karaoke.
People who knows me knows that I always like to sing sad songs.
I always use my own memories to bring out the right feelings to potray the songs properly.

She have always been the main character of my memories. Every song I sang is based on my experience with her. They maybe sad memories but somehow I feel confortable with always bringing them out. I always remember her in the way I wanted to and I manage to sort of keep in touch with her. However the girl with the same name as the one in my memories is no longer the girl I once knew. They share the same name and same appearances but yet there's nothing similar.

I know she have grown up. I guess she's no longer inside that body. I know I'm the only one who stays in the past. Not moving forward but that's not what this is about. I guess I just miss the good old days. That's all.

This Suck.

Today I went to Help University College to ask about the foundation course there.
Plus I get to meet with Xue Ying. After getting the info I needed I went to get my car at the parking. When I reach my car I found a black Kancil parked in front of my car. Wanting to go to another place, I went around looking for the owner.
I went from the cashier of the parking to the security room to the guards in the parking. I was sweating all over but I still cant find the owner.
I have no choice but to wait inside my car. After waiting for 4 hours the owner still havent appear. Luckily, the car park beside me left. Giving me the space to wriggle out of my parking space. Finally I got out but the parking fee was RM 9.70.
I was surprised by the price and asked again for the price. I didnt hear wrongly.
It was RM 9.70. There goes my RM 10. In conclusion, today was a bad day.

Announcement

Finally today I took the EJU. After studying for almost a year EJU finally came and finished. For those who have no idea what EJU is, it's the test for students who wish to further their studies to Japan. It's kinda like our SPM.
I was aiming to futher my studies in the field of music.
That's why all the art subjects like history, geography, economics and many more is not important so I dropped it. So I just took Japanese and Maths only.

However there's a sad news that I need to announce now that the EJU is over.
My plans to further my studies to Japan have been cancelled.
So I'll be staying here in Malaysia to continue my studies.
Some might say that it's a waste. I agree too but there's nothing that I can do about it. Of course I wanna go to Japan but there's no choice I guess.
I'll get over it.
