Glued to listening to Kimbra now. I’ve got so much in mind to do. 1. I really wanna start writing music (: Not for the sake of it, but i just got to understand how intimate it gets to expressing myself through that.
2. Finding my style. I’m so worried and scared of hardwork ): I see the complexity of vocal processors. I wanna try it but I’m still holding back
3. The mental...

I’m often checking my ex-bandmates youtube page. I stalk them on facebook too. hahaha It’s comforting to see 35 likes and 0 dislike on one of our videos :D Just to show off abit I chose the song and arranged quite some part of it. hahaha We don’t do much arrangements actually. We just bring our instruments and jam… HAHAHAHAHA. and it’ll sound somewhat different from...
touch my barrett
damn! snackin at such hour! ^_^ and >:( I’m getting better I know that! Losing time with my family though and it really is as if I’m turning more rebellious )): I get irritated by momma easily, ignores my father and always stay out late )): REBEL REBEL REBEL.
To Realise
Things are getting better, meeting the right people. (: My life is easy. I would think so. Don’t wish to compare but it really is. I’m pretty lucky with money, i get what I earn and usually at the right times. Hoping so for the f1rocks show and EWF YOW! My parents didn’t support me doing music, now they arrange “chauffeur”s to send me home from late night practises! ...
I’m really really feeling good these few days. My performance flopped but I learnt so much. My seniors professional band mates were so inspiring. I reallllllllllllllly like Naz playing jazz. I fall asleep during lunchtime concerts ): I totally move my body to his playing. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahza. Practise Practise Practise! Learn Learn Learn! I’m much more interested in jazz now! That...

Physically sick
How unlucky. My nose kept running like an open tap! I still can sing when I don’t sneeze. Thankfully and hahaha. Somewhat training minimal usage of the throat! ): Must be the cause of going for Super Junior’s concert. My immune system probably fell after all that screaming and shouting hurting my throat. Everytime I get sore throat I really fall sick. Anyway I had some thoughts in the...
Feeling really low the past few days worrying about my abilities and how I am not deem fit to be a musician. I really lack discipline in time management. Thankful I have friends supporting me. Just last night one of them actually offered to help me and she really did help alot giving tips her teacher has been giving her. Sharing her way of independent learning. I really am lazy huh. hahahaha. ...
Wake up call
My pitch RAN! like a sprinter. I just threw my face in front of my principle study teacher who is a well-known musician herself. She probably tell her colleagues how bad I am if I every enter the industry officially. Really need to work on a schedule and discipline myself to keep close to it.
): After so many years of vocal training and learning music I still couldn’t pitch. ): I’m so discouraged at my school’s recording class I did one and was pitchy all 3 times ): I didn’t lose more weight. I gained more. ):

Wednesday Greys (My life's too easy)
Had a talk about my voice with my korean classmate and my voice is so normal and weak sounding. I agree. I tried pushing high notes of certain songs. I either hurt my throat or make it with a thin child-like voice.
During my one-to-one vocal class today my teacher told me, don’t sing like a child, be mature. ): I’ve been speaking in this child like way since I could speak and I...
Got really brave today and sung out my band’s song tonight. I REALLY FEEL GOOD! and learned up 2 new songs (didn’t do very well) but I did….. better than I expected I would. hahahahaha.

Giving JYP audition a miss :’( I can’t even control myself to pitch right and my throat HURTSSSSSSSS after singing a damn verse. VERSE. OMG but I really sound different! hahaha.

Burnt at 38.2 deg last night thankfully panadol/paracetamol dropped it back to 36.0 to think about it, it’s such a small difference in the oven but any higher kills a human. -_- Gonna begin practise after this post! For the next 6 months! -Ballet accompaniment -JYPE...
Made a wasted trip. Freaked out, I didn’t perform.
I really had the heart to but who will see it when the performance was not given. I planned to change it to “make you feel my love”. Shit happened the morning before the wedding ceremony at night. ): I freaked out thereafter and I broke to tears. Even quarelled with my mom. Fucking pissed. ):

super phail
Rot the past few days without the discipline to practise and practise. Nonetheless, life was pretty dramatic when I couldn’t join a rock band for a gig on the cruise. Felt really bad about turning them down due to personal reasons and tried really hard to find replacements. One of them is sooooooo professional she agreed to doing it and didn’t show up for practises and didn’t...

I texted a teacher of mine hoping he’d teach me how to improvise but to no avail ): I think he thinks I’m too stupid for him to teach me privately. ):
Dream
What is my dream about exactly?
Life = career isn’t it.
Hoping to do music as a career, doing it for life.
I want to be in the front.
Singing and playing the piano, not sure what type of genre yet. Not the type that sells sex. But I don’t have a persona to display, I haven’t thought of it yet.

This has got me thinking. I have all the time in the world now and I want to be a star. Gonna attempt logging my way up here. Both my success and failures.
