parish

a day as usual again, sunday service n all, canaan hall is undergoing a one-month reno, and the stage that i saw since yesterday is solid cement, not done yet, but we have to move all the musical instruments up temporarily..

i quite like the edgy feel the cement floor gives, very raw, no-facade feel, real.
well, enjoy it before it'll be covered up.

last night at sat night service i think i played the best drums in my life, skill-wise n etc, auntie Lynn's worship leading encourages me to do so, to play expressively, and I played something that i didn't know can be played by myself. Not sure about congregation as a whole, but i'm surprised, pleasantly surprised. A complicated groove that i can't replicate. felt that it was some kind of anointing that night. nice.. always nice to play in a setting where the only person u wish to impress is God.

speaking of best drums, two weeks from now i'm gonna play the best quality drum sets in my life. yamaha recording custom with posh cymbals, re-recording with one of the best drumsets in JB. stress-level is very high though, hope that 14 songs can be done in two whole days, soundcheck will take less than 3 hours, the play & feel will be great, n sound engineer & drum tech will have a field day =)
A thought kept coming back abt a lucky dude who gets to do these things, really hoped i'll reach those self-implied standards.

drum workshop delayed from last week to coming thurs, go kluang, excited. still keeping those weird notes i once wrote about abstract drum concepts that formed the basis of my groove, not using it though, maybe will share it before i leave? ya, probably.

just got those 2-inch thick notes from en hui, basic audit lecture notes n textbook to lay the foundation for my exam revision. how i wish i can finish it off in a day.
reading speed slacking.

gotha sleep.
