I rented X-Men 3 two days ago and watched it at night. Really love the ending, the part where Magneto (assumed to have lost all his powers) plays chess with himself, and then he reaches out towards a metal chess piece, it quivers a little, and then ...

[ENDING CREDITS with LOUD MUSIC]

I've been going to Yisin's house for XD practice these few days - there's a wedding gig going on Monday at Sentosa. Songs include:

The Great Escape
Love Brings Us Through
Dare You To Move
Better Man
Fly Me To The Moon

And two other songs that I have forgotten and not bothered to go to my bag to check what the other two songs are.

We were thinking about what to say while I was playing the introduction to Fly Me To The Moon before we sang, like:
"Thank you for this great night, and we would like to dedicate this song, this song is a jazzy number, and we bring you "Fly me to the Moon!" ..Fly me to the moon, and let me..."

Here were some of my suggestions:
'I know the groom is drunk, but you forgot to zip your Fly me to the moon, and let me...'
'Oh my God, is this place dirty or what? There's a houseFly me to the moon, and let me...'

Yeah, the band stopped for 5 minutes to laugh.

After the practice session from 10.30 to 2.3o (time passes by damn quickly, trust me, when you're playing in an ensemble. oh wait, not RISE, yeah. Sorry Mr Sze...), and went straight to the Conservatory again, not wanting to repeat last week's sucky lesson.

I didn't repeat it, basically because I didn't play the same piece as last week. Some quick wits from me. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME NO SCREWUPS in scales except the VERY last chromatic scale.

So I was like, play play play, YES it's the last one now. So I play play play and then SCREW up.

What do you expect. It always happens to guys. Stupid adrenaline.

Anyway Chiling (Miss Tan's student) from NYGH came to watch our lesson yesterday, the lesson where Aidi came one hour late. After she finished playing I was half-crying. Andreas was there too, hope he didn't see my tears. Suanned.

Photo-taking session later with Rafflesian Spotlight band members Nigel and Joseph in RI, for now it's back to finishing the chords for a poem/song that Kwek had written. We're a good songwriter-lyricist team. He does the lyrics, me the song-writing. Simple as that.

My pop gave Dr Hecht and Chiling a lift, and then we were done for the day. Just, half-exhausted.

This morning has been a really cold morning - temperature should be around 22 degrees. If Singapore freezes over...well I know for sure Dr Hecht would be happy, but the Government wouldn't. Wonder what they would do.

Performance for PM Lee is in 7 days time, and we haven't even rehearsed ANY songs. Die already. Confirm die. Sianz. Maybe I should start today.
