haha, so as usual, went to church this morning for mass. i really loved today's homily, i thought it was absolutely meaningful. but it was a pity i couldnt hear parts of it clearly because sitting in front of me was a kid making like lots of noise. haha. but here's the main thing: the priest told us to be spiritually awaken. many teens today go to church just because their parents force them to, so they do not go willingly. these are usually the ones who are perpetually late for mass. when people get physically tired, the go to sleep. but never get into a spiritual slumber. no matter what you do, stay awake, stay SPIRITUALLY AWAKE. i thought what he said is very true. oh wells (:

yup, yesterday went adc, guitar, and then went for jessica's rehearsal at arts house. im quite impressed by how they do things. the scene of professionalism. every single performer, they know exactly what they are doing. something we ought to learn. haha. then after that, zhihui and i went to clarke quay for a walk. its like the best place for night life in singapore i think. haha. its not like everyday that we get to be in clarke quay late at night, so took photos (: yup. practice today was tiringggg. like literally. i think im gonna suffer from body aches tmr. haha. oh well. damn. i bet the upcoming week will be horrible, terrible, vegetable. haha. sigh.
jessica on her sanxian. the instrument she majored in university.

teaching him to improvise on his gabla(dont know how you spell it, its basically an indian instrument). this guy is famous for his gabla playing in singapore. see him play and you'll be stunned. shocking thing is he's only 16 this year! haha.
.
an ensemble of chinese traditional instruments. its really seldom we ge to see performances like this, and what more appreciate. but no doubt, they're real good. haha
.
an ensemble with gabla as the main instrument. there's a short gabla solo in the middle of this piece, for about.. 8-12 bars? haha. you cant imagine how much you can do with that two drums and you two hands, until you see him play. haha
