Happy New Year everyone!
Had a great 2010, well shouldn't say much here. If you haven't read my 2010's summary please read it first before you continue :)
My new year was great! Spending the time with my band members on stage and also sharing the counting down to 2011 experience with the whole of Woodlands Community. Well, there were some important MPs there as well. The whole concert was a blast and it was the most exhausting concert I've done so far. The crowd was insane and we just couldn't stop returning the energy back. It's like a reflection of energy throughout the whole show. How much the crowd gave us we gave them back. Such a wonderful experience and I wanna do that again this year!

Well, after many sleepless nights due to the post-effect from countdown show, my band's invited for a wedding gig at St.Regis Singapore. The hotel was very beautifully decorated and it is a 6 or 7 star hotel. Another wonderful experience for us to be part of a amazing journey for Dendy and Shin. We had a great time performing there and also made some contacts!
It's just too bad we didn't have a professional photographer to photograph our nice set at St.Regis. Maybe next time we'll ask someone to help us document.
My band is playing for NTUC's talk show coming Wednesday, 19th January 2011. We might be playing for WWF soon but details are still pending. A lot of shows are coming up so to keep track please like our facebook page and we'll update you with the latest news on our upcoming shows.
Alright enough with my band stuffs. School! Let's talk about school!
One word: Stress.
Everyone is stressed up about the Tests that came up in this two weeks. There are a lot of assignments to be done and lots of revision to be done. For me, I've been trying to breeze through this test but the thing is, every test didn't came out as what I was expecting it to be. So I have to face the music when my results are published!
Well, the fun thing about school is that I get to do what I like. Sound recording, music composition and recording studio fundamentals! So many hands on classes really made learning much easier. All the thinking processes allowed us to think out of the box and react to situations instantly.One of the things we did was to use Khair's beanie as a windshield for Alex's Q3HD recorder. It worked magic!
Well, I got myself a pair of Shure SRH440 Studio Monitoring Headphones and I must really say, it's definitely worth more than the price! I bought it at $169.00 and it's definitely sounding like a pair $200+ headphones.
With that pair of headphones, I went on to experiment some recordings done in my room. I was too bored that I went to test it with my Macbook's iSight Camera and recorded a guitar track simultaneously through my Presonus Firebox into my Mac's iMovie'11. The result turned out to be okay. Check it out here!
So recently I got a bit free due to the decrease in amount of other works that I need to do before and I've got the time to roam around my neighborhood! Went to check out the sports complex beside the reservoir area and I was quite amazed by the number of facilities and venues they provide down there. 8 Badminton Courts. 1 Inline Skating Space, 3 Dance Studios, 1 Gym, 1 Olympic Sized Swimming Pool, Street Soccer Court, Basketball Court and many activities room which I can't remember. And surprisingly, I saw Jocelyn working there! Jocelyn was previously working at TRCC. Well, I kinda like this free time feeling but I want to be busy real soon!
Alright that's all for the updates now!
Sum it all up, I really wanna spend more time with my darling before I get real busy!
Loves!
