just came back from school. soccer with Ash, Dalun, Paki and other mates. i suck. must save my words for the oncoming onslaught later.

so here it is.

I Don't Know. second time performing. ALIVE + LOUD '05.

i must first thank Jude and Nick Pat for all they did for I Don't Know. they are like the crux of IDW. enjoyed playing with you dudes. fabulous stuff. as for Dom. IMPROVE SOME MORE DAMMIT.

we practised weekly since July i think. we got tighter and improved individually as well. kudos to Jude for taking charge of the arrangements. he made all the calls, knew the right people. praises to Nick for improving so much since RC Superstar. dude, if you're reading this, don't stop playing man. keep going and become the master basser you can be. Jude did well too, wanted so much to impress us all with his improved finger work. YES Jude, we know you're good. don't have to keep proving yourself to us. haha, but you were great man. Dom was Dom. enough said.

okay, i can't busted my band mate like that. Dom improved, albeit which much practice. it only proves one thing man. that when you practice, you become damn good. so don't stop practicing, "Werd" needs you to keep banging those drums.

it wasn't a very good day to begin with. despite my valiant effots to mug in the morning, i ended up wasting it away. then, suddenly, they called to say that sound check was at 3.30. it was 2.15 and i was barely ready. i had a madness fast shower and cabbed down to bras basah complex to meet Dom and Ash Tay to get the replacement AC-Adapter for my Dime. bad news. they didn't have it. only the Swee Lee at Sims Drive had it. so we cabbed to Sims Drive and got the adapter which was FORTY BLOODY DOLLARS. i could swear right now just recalling it dammit. then, we headed down to church. the acoustics in the hall were as bad as usual. so we prayed that it would be nice enough for people to enjoy without cringing from feedback or bad volume balance.

oh well. it was soon show time and we were nervous to be the starting band. usually, we would need a little warming up to get into the mood but this time we were thrown straight in. after my lame ass prayer we began with "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling. i guess it kind of got the crowd in the mood a bit. but they were SEATED. like how can you get high like that? so we got them to stand up. that was when the alive + loud got really ALIVE + LOUD. i think i looked kind of gay trying to get the crowd going. oh well, it's all for a good time anyway.

and i ZHAO SIA-ED. oh my gosh. feel quite ashamed. but at least i didn't when it was time to sing, "TO NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN!"

the crowd was awesome really. TP people moshed, St Pats people sang along and moshed and jumped, the rest were equally awesome and i hope they had fun. Lester said we set the mood, and i'm really happy that we did that. the least we could do for Eternal Dawn and John Klass.

thanks to those who sang along, who screamed or even just smiled or clapped along. it was a blast. thanks to Lan, Colin, Victor and Kenneth for showing up. showing a little ACFC support... not to mention looked for neighbours. =)

it was great.

it was great.

it was super.

thanks to everyone who made it great. let's do it again sometime soon. =)

And we sing
If we're going no where
And we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To never fall in love
To never fall in love again
