yesterday went jamming, but our guitarist are not able to join us. She is busy studying for upcoming tests. The other guitarist who are replacing for the main guitarist for the performance day, couldn’t come due to moving of house. So we do not have a guitarist… argh. No guitar sounds heard except for mine. I only strum a bit siah.. I only memorise “yuuwaku” and “304 goushitsu, sakura no hakushi”.
The 304 song is easy to play while singing. But there is this part where it goes “yurari yurari” is a bit difficult for me to play, as I have to change the chords fast while singing. Arghh urghh urghhh. I am goin to practice this song till I can play it veri smoothly, without lookin at the tabs. Mwahahhaha! Wanted to learn “new world” too, but it requires the finger to be stretched over 5 frets!! My fingers are short!! Damn. And my fingers ached lar! Kau… nvm. I will concentrate on my singing instead.
Yesterday jamming, we jammed the new unfamiliar songs. Samurai drive, Maria (by hitomi), taion (gazette), fortune faded (red hot chilli pepper), somewhere I belong (linkin park).
Samurai drive and Maria are veri high pitched. I have to concentrate on the pitching, and I have to sing out loud with high pitched girly sound. That is the highest pitch I could reach. It is higher than “new world”. Arghh! I almost died on the spot. T_____T I chose that song cuz the drummer hinted that she wants to jam that songs. And I have not listen to the songs yet and I juz make a hasty decision by choosing the songs. Arghhh!urgh! *pulls hair* I am still in the midst of memorizing the lyrics, esp for these 2 songs. Cuz got a lot of lyrics. But luckily, the drummer decided to cut down a lot of part for the “Maria” songs. Cuz the song is repetitive and they dun want to keep repeating the same parts. Hahaha. Thank god. …heng arh.
taion is the song that I couldn’t get it right. Cuz I am not sure the cue to start at. And I actually forget how the chorus sounds like! Cuz we decided to cut down on some parts of the song, as the song is repetitive and it will get on people’s nerves if we keep on repeating the same part over and over.
Fortune faded is the most easiest song that we ever jammed. We jammed it twice and we are done with it. Haha! cuz the singing part is easy. Though repetitive, however the lyrics are short and sweet. And it is veri hippie and comfortable to the ears. Not so hard rock. And the drums are easy. The bass lines are funky and hippie. Even though the guitarist is not around, however I can get the cue and sing along without difficulty, juz by listenin to the bass lines and drums.
As for somewhere I belong, the drummer commented that the drums are the hardest to play among all the songs. Actually I prefer to sing “breaking the habit”, but she said that the drums are even harder for that song. I didn’t choose “faint”, cuz need to scream!! That is a screamo song. I dun want my vocals to hurt for that song. And I dun think I can scream that well. But the slow rapping in the verse is quite okay for me…. Yo yo .. come on..yo man… rap rap rap.. yo yo baby man.. yo …LOL.
I am actually tryin to memorise the lyrics durin work. Lol. Dun think much vocalist will actually memorise lyrics this way. Finished most of the work liao.. only left filing.
Too bad, our main guitarist couldn’t join us for the performance on this comin fri. think she need to study for A levels. And that she is under aged, couldn’t go to the pub to perform. Otherwise her mom will scold her. T___________________________T
Our first live performance leh!
All the more I must protect my voice. So, I am refraining myself from eating fried and spicy food. So that I can perform well on that day. Now, my throat is not feelin well. Cuz yesterday, I had spicy food for dinner. Gosh. Ate Korean food, the spicy rice cake. Yummy yummy.
Yesterday is another doll gathering photoshoot. And I missed it again. Haiz! If I knew, I’ll bring my dolfie along. And my guitar lesson is cancelled again. I have missed a lot of the dolls gathering. Chiaki have been feelin lonely at home. That’s why I brought him to office, so Sora could accompany him.
I wanted to go to doll gathering so that I can know more doll owners. At least I did went for the first Doll gathering last month. And I was happy. Cuz not much people have dolls. And a lot of people have misconception and negative conceptions of doll owners.
Just now, I juz went to the thread where the doll owners met and haf photoshoot of their dolls. They look veri pretty and cute.. argh.. the links:

Think I’ll organize one in may on Sunday, after jamming. Or maybe durin weekdays in June. It is when most of the doll owners are students, and they are havin holidays. And I will take leave for tt day.
