progress is on..

It has been days or a week since i updated my blog,alot has happened and i feel contented with alot of things..these past few days i've been enjoying myself with the music scene in kl and in college..may 14 of 2008 was the most memorable day..It open my eyes when estranged started rocking the crowd :D..they might be playing hard rock,but hell they were consistent in time,melody,rhythm,etc..it was really fun that night when estranged blasted the crowd.The performance was sponsored by motorola.4 musicians were introduced and invited to perform,they were Dennis Lau,the violinist who has great violin techniques and skills,who played alit bit of jazz,rnb and fusion.Well i saw him once in bangkok jazz,his band was really inspiring when they played a couple of tunes such as the old chinese folk song "Tian mee mee","i just wanna"which is originated by dennis himself,"an evening drive back to cheras"(i think that was the name of the song that my lecturer compose :P cant remember) and etc..and yeah,my lecturer performed for him..well back to the other 3 musicians..the other musicians were kiri a malay rock band..i cant really seem to find them exciting or inspiring due to their guitars were too loud!!! :P and a lady which i cant remember wat her name was :P which her singing was quite "funny" to me :P..while estranged was performing for the last encore song "velocity" my course mates and i had to mosh and head bang and we almost broke our necks :P..that was one hell of a night for me..may 14 was very memorable :D..after that night,the next day in the night,my sis and i went down to bangkok jazz to jam..we met up with fly the bassits who is currently playing for "akademi fantasia" and his drummer sudin and pianist wilson..it was one fun night although during jamming i did some mistakes in the first,two songs..but the third song was saved!!had alot of fun and experience..I've been practicing and rehearsing with my college mates,it had really occupied me and kept me busy from getting lazy..well is hectic at times for me to travel to school everyday(not everyday but mostly!! :P)however i m adapt to it and i like waking up early in the morning to college..the songs that i am playing has been set and ready but some songs are still in need to be rearrange..whatever it is i have fun in college..and had fun with my new friends just practicing music,talking about music and life and study together..well that is all for today..will write more when i got the chance

I have not posted a blog since 30th of april..and loads have happened in these few days..well i m in penang now..i came back home for my driving exam and guess what?? i failed :( however no worries i'll be retaking it again on the 22nd(which is freaking long) i can retake the test on the 15th of may,which is next week but i m coming back on the 17th with jo to spend time with her.. guess i just have to wait again..and i have been traveling down alot from home to kl..home,kl,home,kl,home,kl..it's freaking tiring but well have to get use to it,if i m on the music line ..more touring and business to come in my way..well college has been fun and it has been keeping me busy with music pieces,homeworks,band rehearsals and sight reading.The best thing about music is i got to be creative and innovative towards arrangements,composing(will come to that later..i can't compose anything yet) and many more..well personally i cant play any melodic instrument,however i m force to learn the piano(which i never really got interested in it,and jo be patient if you are going to teach me :P) but to compose,i have to learn the piano and i admit is kinda fun learning and playing the piano(except with a theory book infront of you :P)..well i play the drums,which only includes "rudiments",coordination,time signature and groove..so i cant do much..the only thing i can do is provide the groove and rhythm..and honestly i feel sucky :( well the only thing i can do is to learn as much as i can in college and get networks from everyone..i m writing this down on my computer..and i feel relax at home..without any nagging from uncle and aunty(oops :P)..plus i have been motivated to jazz music again and tried to mimic buddy rich and max roach's "mister hi hat" but failed :( however i m trying to learn their style of playing..max roach's melodic solo's and buddy rich's fast hand techniques..well my drumming has been downgraded :( no creativity in my mind..single strokes has been out of coordination but while i was watching buddy rich's drum solo and got inspired by swing,bebop and gospel from hip hop drummers like thomas pridgen,tony royster jr,aaron spears,teddy campbell and many more..i have been playing drums for the past 6 years and still have alot to learn..well i might have some experience..but yet to be finish or never ending at all to learn..because it will always evolve..music will always evolve around us..well i shall stop here..till then..
