Happy. Contented (?). Occupied.<\/p>\n
I don’t know, really. \u00a0=D \u00a0Let’s just say… I’ve befriended a bunch of people who love music as much as, or wait, perhaps more than I do. \u00a0They love to sing (and darn, they are extremely good!), and they just love music on the whole. \u00a0They are the one who inspired me to pick up guitar, something that I have always been thinking about doing, but never had the motivation to. \u00a0Watching them strum and sing in front of me makes me feel like strumming the guitar with them instead of just singing along.<\/p>\n
Never mind that they are all guys. \u00a0Never mind that I’m the oldest. \u00a0XD \u00a0Never mind that I’m almost a decade older than some of them. \u00a0*eeps*<\/p>\n
The thing that kept me connected to them (at the moment, at least): \u00a0music.<\/p>\n
Am I happier now than a year or two years back? \u00a0Kinda. \u00a0I’m not saying having a boyfriend wasn’t good. \u00a0It was perhaps my own fault for not pursuing what I think of pursuing; for not making friends when I should be, even if they could be all just guys. Friendship, especially one that is built on a common interest, is such wonderful thing. \u00a0As long as you have the interest there, you’ll never run out of things to say or do.<\/p>\n
I went for \u80e1\u590f’s fan gathering at KBox Cineleisure on Saturday, as I won a pair of entry passes from Kbox. \u00a0I met up with Yun’s youngest sister as there was no one else interested to go. \u00a0And I found out that she actually liked \u80e1\u590f a lot, and she was also in Chinese Orchestra! \u00a0So yeah… initially I was still worried that it would be pretty awkward for both of us as we’ve never met before, but hey, we actually did have a couple of same interests to yak about. \u00a0:D<\/p>\n
Zack (one of the guys whom I got to know) got bored at home that day, and decided to come meet me after the \u80e1\u590f\u7b7e\u5531\u4f1a. \u00a0I wanted to introduce Yun’s little sis to him, but I think he purposely go hide somewhere, and only appeared after the little girl went off. \u00a0=_=; \u00a0Doh! \u00a0Anyway, that was the first time I actually met Zack, so well… it wasn’t as awkward as I thought it would be. \u00a0I mean, well, I’m like 9 years older?! \u00a0I was half worried that he’d be too reserved because of my age, lol. \u00a0But hey, the meet-up went pretty all right. \u00a0We were talking about \u80e1\u590f, music, and… stuff. \u00a0And I found out that he likes to walk around too! \u00a0Not like window shopping, but really like, you know, walk.<\/p>\n
He was supposed to meet with YC (another guy whom I got to know from the same forum as well) for some guitar session, but because YC couldn’t confirm the timing with him, so he didn’t bring his guitar out. \u00a0While we were walking from Bugis to PS, YC called me and told us to meet him at PS since he’s around the area. \u00a0So yeah… I haven’t met YC prior to that day, so it was kinda mind-boggling to meet two guys that I know from the forum within a day. \u00a0XD \u00a0But it wasn’t too bad because we had skyped once or twice together already before that Saturday. \u00a0We were like, singing over skype, and then they were playing the guitar and stuff, but it was a rather bad “experiment” as there was some lag in between… ><~<\/p>\n
Anyway, the three of us went for dinner, and then they were discussing where we should sit down and strum\/sing together. \u00a0In the end, they tried to sit in a corner in Wilkie’s Edge, but we got shoo-ed away by the security guard. \u00a0XD \u00a0It was darn embarrassing but funny at the same time! \u00a0In the end we ended up sitting at the alfresco area at Han’s. \u00a0But we didn’t get to sing a lot coz no one brought any scores. \u00a0=X \u00a0Trying to play while looking at the scores on iPhone isn’t the best thing to do, you know?<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, in case you don’t know yet, I’ve actually bought a guitar (a cheapo, classical guitar for now). \u00a0My colleague Kelvin has a band on his own, and upon my plea for some guitar help, he accompanied me to one of the shops during lunch time and picked\/tested a guitar for me. \u00a0He also offered to teach me a few basics too. \u00a0And another guy Paul (whom I had yet to meet up at that point of time) from the forum gave me a link on the web to a picture where it shows all the guitar chords. \u00a0Sigh~ \u00a0I’m so glad I got to know all these people. \u00a0They are so helpful and encouraging. \u00a0:3<\/p>\n
Then I met up with YC again on Sunday for a karaoke session, together with Weisiang and Weicong (no they aren’t brothers XD). \u00a0Paul was a little late, but he joined us as well. \u00a0It was so fun singing with them! \u00a0And really, they can sing really, really well, especially Weisiang. \u00a0Damn…. he was so good! \u00a0Can’t believe such a puny body packed such a mean punch when it comes to singing! \u00a0I really hope he could live his dream eventually as a singer. \u00a0He can do it! \u00a0=D \u00a0And did I mention how adorable he looks? \u00a0LOL! \u00a0He looks like 15~16 years old only, when he’s already 21. \u00a0Haha! I wish he’s my little brother! \u00a0I’d definitely dote on him if I have a little brother like that. \u00a0Maybe I could ask mom if she’s willing to take in a god-son. \u00a0XD<\/p>\n
WS had to leave a little early after dinner as he had a family dinner waiting for him back home, so YC, Paul, WC and me decided to go for some Chinese desserts, and then YC drove us to Esplanade Bay where he parked and we went down to the Marina Bay Link Mall to take a look at the new underground “mall”. \u00a0It was a fine place (fine, as in, you know – high class), with lots of high-end restaurants. \u00a0And a lot of expats. \u00a0:P \u00a0We chose a small cosy corner at Marble Slab Creamery, where Paul played YC’s guitar while YC ate his second dessert of the day – ice cream. \u00a0 Again, there were some pretty serious discussions about music, and I got to witness how good Paul is when it comes to guitar. \u00a0He really kinda inspired me to go learn proper theory (which I’m still deciding if I should take proper lessons or not), and to reach his standard of playing the guitar some day. \u00a0Too bad he’s gonna go on a 2-year round-the-world trip next month already…. otherwise I’d love to join more of such discussion on music (like last night) and to take some guitar lessons from him as well. \u00a0Sigh. \u00a0Well, in 2 years’ time when he’s back… hopefully I’m still playing the instrument and hopefully I’ve improved enough then to really play with them! \u00a0XD<\/p>\n
Back to guitar practices! \u00a0I can feel the blisters coming out ><~!<\/p>\n
