 Looks like I'll be joining NBC afterall...nice to play concert style with the main band after such a long absence. The last time was like, last year or something. And playing the snare drum is really something else. Seems the snare drum is getting lower and lower. Now not only do I have to modify my position...I have to arch my back so that I can reach and get a good response...good thing mr poh's buying a new black swamp snare for the section. The snare drum in TPJC band now is black swamp and it's really really SHIOK to play man...hahahaha. Can't wait to perform accolada.

I've taken note everytime this happens and today I'll share it with you guys here. My mum has a nasty habit of bullying my grandmother...she seems to pick at every little thing she does. She's old! can she help it? Things like blocking the tv while cleaning the table (yah, she cleans the table instead of mum), doing things slower than my mum expects her to, well lots of stuff that happens around the house (well negative ones) are mostly blamed on my grandmother. I mean like, she's your mum, for goodness sake, the one who brought you up from nothing to something for the past like twenty-odd years? So what if you're the owner of the house; the breadwinner? You have to respect your benefactor! your own mother man...I should tell her; when I grow up and start earning for myself, when I afford my own car and lodging, would you rather me treat you the same way you treated your mum, or would you like me to give you the most comfortable life I can provide? It's against everyone's principles to treat one's mum this way. I want to speak up, but in the end I get scolded, and then her sour mood turns to me to release her rantings. Sometimes I wonder....

oh well. The scoldings have stopped. And I expect more later. Still deciding on whether to speak up for granny.

Concert for TPJC band and guitar ensemble at the end of this month at VCH...looking forward to it. Especially playing Movement for Rosa on the snare. It's freakin wonderful man...really really really fun to play. Lots of skill involved; speed, accuracy, feel.... I like it when a snare piece is demanding. More on the concert side though. Marching snare pieces are like torture devices. hahahahahhaa. to me, actually, since development on the marching side hasn't been going up since the end of the SYF. gotta do my best this time. and everytime after. =)

see you guys..cheers!
