Initially wanted to record a small snippet of a new song. But seems like my mike doesnt work, my guitar cable doesnt work either. Lazy to setup the entire thing at this time of the night. Guess it's not wise to record songs at 2 am :D

Once, i heard Robin said "Everyday think about music, very stressful." RAFE broke up btw, and i'm not sure why, but i guess that could be a catalyst.

Music doesn't have to be so stressful, i figured. Just 30 mins ago, i emailed the chairperson of NUS Guitar Club to book an audition for a guitarist role in their band. 30 mins later, i decided to just ignore the incident all together.

Truth is, i dun really feel the need to be so suckup, so wannabe, so dying for success blah blah. If i'm decent enough, offers will come knocking on the door like Christina. Yup i've decided to help her for her recording project. I figured that this would be much more interesting than rehearsals and gigs. FYI, recording is a very tough process, pre and post recording. Challenge myself.

So i guess for this sem, Guitar Club is out of the way. I'm still harping on whether to join OMS (Original Music Society). It's more freelance like Jinyi said, it's just a forum for musicians to locate members to form bands and play ard. If there's gigs they'll gather us for a show. Smthing like that.

Though i still dun feel ready to play in a band. Maybe my expectations of an ideal band are too high.

So right now, no stress over band formation, no stress over whether i'm good enough or not. Just work on my chops, write music, and do whatever i want. If anything happens, it will come naturally. Hmm maybe i shld go take lessons again, this time hopefully from Biao's teacher.

Let's see what kind of a breakthrough i will get.

No stress no stress.
