Hello world...
Apparently the performance was a good one... I was too busy focusing on the amount of mistakes I made on my drums to realise that... Only found out just now after watching the video recording twice that the band sounded pretty tight... I guess that maybe the reason why I felt that I was crappy is because my expectations were raised? Also realised that I sped up quite a lot of the songs. Nervousness got to me... again...
From the response of the crowd (mostly our friends), it would seem that we've gotten one foot in the door... 2 more gigs coming up!!! And maybe a chance to perform at sonicfest... But I know this isn't my commitment. I want to play for a Christian band... Maybe it isn't time. Or maybe I need to do something with this band first? Gain experience? I dunno.
I thank God that things have been put into persepective recently... Being in a band and rocking the crowd doesn't make you a better person. Hope and trust shouldn't be placed in the band but in God. Same concept as with girlfriends, friends, possessions... Whatever! Cos these things aren't constant, they aren't reliable... Someone in the band might just up and leave and I'd be left with another broken dream... Whatever it is, God must take 1st place in my life... I want to try my best to make that happen.
Went 'shopping / walking / eating' with Liwei, Gan, Ben and Pat... I've really been enjoying spending time with them these few weeks. The 3 of us accompanied Pat to see her NOT BUY a skirt that she was eyeing... Actually, it was I who advised her against it. It was the type of skirt that would be too formal to wear often. Went to have dinner at Lucky Plaza after that.. Had Japanese Curry Chicken Rice... DELICIOUS!!! Felt super drowsy after that... Maybe it was because of the 4 a side soccer tournement in the sunny morning and hot & sweaty drumming in the humid afternoon... Headed down to Huaying to meet Shaoxiong, Joseph, Josh and Gloria before coming back home to watch the video of the performance... Watched Animatrix also.
