~ PerCusSo ~

On MC for two days till 31 August… Stomach flu and mild cold… =(

Now, I’m under great pressure and it’s all from percussion training.
My exams is coming very near. Next Wednesday…

Must perfect my Scales & Arpeggios, Dom. 7th and dim. 7th.
And, 3 songs…!

Sight-reading – not practised yet.

Aural skills – hopeless case, but I still do my best…

*praying*

May the great Force be with me…

Me and all my friends
We’re all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing
There’s no way we ever could
Now we see everything is going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don’t have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Its hard to be persistant
When we’re standing at a distance
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would’ve never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on the door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cuz when when they own the information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want

So while we’re waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It’s not that we don’t care
We just know that the part ain’t fair
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

We’re still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Know we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
- Sung by John Mayer

Every dreamer has dreamed of a perfect life
I know the world has been trying for years to get it right
We try and try, but find it impossible to do
Don’t you wish we could make this a better place
Can’t you see that we must live life a different way
Every day, imagine what love could turn this to
Wanna change the world, then change your mind
We’ll light the darkness one life at a time

Chorus:
When we change a heart
We change the world
A spark of light can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change your heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart
We change the world

A voice is waking a heart to the light of day
A tiny flicker of hope can push the night away
It’s safe to say a caring heart brings another back
Can you fathom a world where we open up
Can you picture the day we’ve all been dreaming of
Live and love like right now is all we really have

Wanna change the world, then change your mind
We’ll find forever one day at a time

Chorus:
When we change a heart
We change the world
A spark of light can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change your heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart
We change the world

You may think it’s crazy
But that’s alright with me
It’s gonna take some time to find the way
But I believe…
We can change the world…
What started as a whisper it echos one day at a time.

Chorus X2:
When we change a heart
We change the world
A spark of light can turn into a fire bright as the sun
If you change your heart today
Then that could change a million tomorrows
What started as a whisper will echo on and on
When we change a heart
We change the world

Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it’s been forever that you’ve been gone

She said somedays I feel like shit
Somedays I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit
I don’t understand why you have to always be gone
I get along but your trips always feel so long
And I find myself trying to stay by the phone
‘Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone
But I feel like an idiot, working my day around a call
And when I pick up I don’t have much to say, so

I want you to know it’s a little fucked up that
I’m stuck here waiting, at times debatin
Telling you that I’ve had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here singing

Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it’s been forever that you’ve been gone
Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it’s been forever that you’ve been gone
Please come back home

You know, the place where you used to live
Used to barbeque with burgers and ribs
Used to have a little party every halloween with candy by the pile
But now, you only stop by every once in a while
Shit
I find myself just filling my time
With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
I’m doing fine and I’m plannin’ to keep it that way
You can call me if you find that you have something to say
And I’ll tell you

I want you to know its a little fucked up that
I’m stuck here waiting, at times debating
Telling you that I’ve had it with you and your career
Me and the rest of the family here singing

Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you’ve been gone
Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like its been forever that you’ve been gone
Please Come back home

I want you to know its a little fucked up that
I’m stuck here waiting, no longer debatin’
Tired of sittin and hatin’ and making these excuses
For why you’re not around, and feeling sorta useless
It seems that one thing has been true all along
You don’t really know what you’ve got till it’s gone
I guess I’ve had it with you and your career
When you come back I won’t be here and you can sing it

Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it’s been forever that you’ve been gone
Where’d you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it’s been forever that you’ve been gone
Please come back home

Please come back home
Please come back home
Please come back home
Please come back home

This movie has once inpired me when I was in Sec. 2.
At that time, I was experiencing failure when I performed not very well at Singapore Conference Hall.
It partly encouraged me to carry on with my music journey. =)

Hmmm, I’ve been looking for this DVD movie since then. Unable to find it, preferrably with Code 1… It’s still in my DVD list.

It has been a long time that I haven’t updated my blog.
Guess I have been very busy lately… This leaves me a very little time for me to meet my friends. I really need a listening “ear” at this moment. However, I often overcome these terrible feelings that I’ve been feeling.

If you ask me about my work at the law firm, I can say that it’s really like a battlefield. Once I enter the office, I often put on extra careful front. Moving around the office. Helping SIX secretaries with many tasks like storing & retrieving files, writing letters, faxing and photocopying. Sounds boring, do it?
Once time’s up, I do not care about staying overtime to complete the minor tasks. This does not benefit me and I’m not very keen about my job.

Oh yes…
“We are pleased to confirm your appointment as an Administrative Assistant with effect from 18 August 2007… “

When I received this letter, there was nothing much to feel great. It’s not really surprising and I have no problems with my colleagues. However, I still have to be very wary of what I shall say out at most of the times. Otherwise, I will be made a scapegoat anytime. My position is alittle dangerous, yet very small.

After work, I often look forward to having “play time”. I go to SADeaf 4-5 times a week for the musical project. Practising dance moves, working the script out with the actors & actresses, song signing…
I’m quite excited to see its achievement being made soon. And, I have other plans for it.

Not only this, but I have my higher priority – percussion. ABRSM Grade 8. I must do well and pass it!
Now, I’m under intensive training. My exams is coming very soon. It’ll be on 5 September.

So many, many things to do…
Work, freelance performing, SADeaf musical, sign language, percussion…

Breathe in, breathe out…

Well, that’s me. I like to do these things, except for admin work. I’m still at them for many years. More than 5 years.
One time, i thought of quitting that job to move on to my next phase where I can do these things. However, they are yet to become my sources of other incomes. I have to take a step slowly…

Breathe in, breathe out…

Relax, time to play hard… That’s life!
