Just got back. Bathed. Unwinding now...chilling out in front of my comp.

Yea gig's over. Or shld i say audition's over? Heh, anyways it was a nice experience after all. Before u know it, u are needed on stage. All tt rush to set up everything was nerve-wracking seriously. Shld have brought less stuff. And then, after the mad rush, it's time to play.

I guess there's no time for stage fright. After all, the crowd pretty much dispersed by the time it came to our turn. Not too many pple, but not too little nonetheless. Kai kept telling me to crank up the amp, and sure i did. Couldn't hear anyone except a faint of Xiang's drums. Yea, it was really loud to me. But everyone said it's alright. Fine then.

We started off with our original "One More Time". It went pretty well in terms of the drums. Yea fortunately Xiang din screw up. But i did slip up alittle here and there for the licks. Yea, hope it ain't too glaring a thing. Song was tight, everyone did what they shld. And we finished it off with a little jump at the end. One song down.

Already, i felt the Tubescreamer was way way too loud. But Kai say keep it going. Alrighty. So we started our next song "I've Got A Feeling" by the Beatles. Yea it's written by them, but we were doing the Beck version. Catch the anime if u wanna find out. Episode 23-24. I'd say this song was much better compared to "One More Time" just cos everyone played what they are supposed to play. There's no rush, Guan's bass came in seamlessly, and my solos are just perfect, or so i thought. Robin came down when we're just starting the song, and he watched us. Said it was good, esp at the back when everything came together.

FYI, Robin's the lead guitarist of Rafe, the past yr winner of Power Jam. Yea, cool dude. And though he's younger than me, he's way past his yr in terms of thinking. Damn deep fella.

After all that noise-making, everyone went to grab a bite at BK. Yea it's tiring after a gig, even though it's just 2 songs. It just messes u up, at least for me. Super dehydrated. Fortunately a mushroom swiss double came along and saved the day. Good shit.

Rob and I then proceeded to WakeMeUpMusic to check out some gear. He's making me GAS yet again.. basket. Fortunately i dun really like the stuff WMUM carries, so yea the feelin ain't tt bad. Still prefer scouting Luthermusic for cheap deals. WMUM is just way too ex for me. Ended up chatting with the shop attendant for abt 2 hrs. Yea he plays in Set For Glory, some emo-punk band. (Heard of them, Joel?) They played in Baybeats, so i guess they are pretty big in the scene. Hanging out with rock stars man! And he's got a mean Gibson SG. I want a SG next. It's on my bday wishlist. Gather all ur friends and start saving!

Anyways yea it's fun. I lost my virgin gig to Power Jam. But i ain't regretting it. Would love to gig more next time definitely.

But with better songs.
