for some reason, i'm awake at 2.39 am, typing this entry. i'm hungry and tired but i'm still awake. oh yes, Risen Christ Superstar.

well, 'I Don't Know' made it's debut performance after one jamming session. "Empty Apartment" by Yellowcard was our choice song because of the beauty of it's simplicity AND also because it was the easiest and only song we could play. we rehearsed in the church hall at about 3pm and Jude was getting all worried that he lacked practice and would screw up. Dom was being Dom. Nick didn't need to worry, his bass ability looked to be in-born [even though it was his first time touching a bass guitar]. i was too sleepy and hungry to be anxious. soon, it was time and the other performances passed quickly [we were the last to perform]. it wasn't the best performance, the drummer had delayed reactions but the song's pace was kept up anyway. when we finished, Benedict presented us with a McDonald's Chicken McNugget (TM) . a somewhat appreciative gesture but we thank him for that! Nicholas was like saying that it would be easier if all the money donated was put into one box; OUR box. in the end, we got second place and 'James and Linette' got the grand prize of $300 Takashimaya vouchers. we got the second prize of $200 Taka vouchers. it was a blessing in disguise for we would not have been able to split the $300 four ways. it doesn't really matter, actually. the main thing was that we got the moolah for the home. like Nick said, it was easier if all the money was in one box. i guess James and Linette's box was prettier than ours.

there might be such another fund-raising cum contest event next year. so expect to see more of 'I Don't Know' in the Church of the Risen Christ. sigh, in lieu of this, it would be great for Werd to get back to regular jamming again. Victor has been working all the time and Kelvin's got school started. hopefully, we can finish some of the songs we created and make something out of it. maybe get a few gigs.

bah.
