The gig was cool

Hmm.

I was just working my butt off last night, starting from 9pm working on my p-boards for VI, and steadily finishing them up, and simultaneously waiting for Jace to email me the address and telephone number of the 24 hour print shop.

So I finished my p-boards at 3:50am in the morning, went to print them and came back home and started working on the Physical model for my VI. By the time I was done, it was 6am in the morning and I knew I'd only have 45mins of sleep.

Yesterday in the afternoon before all that shit happened, I received a phone call from John Toh, a friend of mine from DMD downstairs. As I was working on my P-boards on the computer, I answered the phone call, and it turned out that a bunch of girls from DMD yr2 needed a guitarist to accompany them for their presentation.

Meeting up with them they said they wanted to create a mood which was similar to an Audioslave sound. Now bite if you wil, but pray tell, how am I supposed to create an Audioslave sound with two hands and a foolin' Fender telecaster? I told them it would be akin to playing linkin park songs with a ukelele.

So I talked to those people (despite the fact that Ihad a pressing matter of completing 3 p-boards) because they seemed to not know what to do with themselves. I borrowed off Mr Soon's guitar and I sat down with them and chose a few selection of songs which were possible to do during their presentation. And eventually we settled on a few songs.

Apparently this presentation was meant for those yr2 students to pitch their ideas to a panel of judges, and the best way possible is the most creative way to pitch it on top of... of course.. relevant information.

Right.

Back to my computer work, halfway I was working on a tricky layout, when a guy from Alvin's class reached down and accidentally pulled out the plug to my CPU. Now I was initially very pissed, but I soon wore that out within 5 seconds with a deep breath, and satisfied myself by asking him very quietly 'What the hell are you trying to do?'

Anyway, I was back in school this morning, rushed to finish off putting up of my P-boards and model for display (everyone else had theirs on by the time I ran into the 6th level). I finished it off and then called the girls for a rehearsal. I eventually went down to LT L3 for a small rehearsal and soundcheck. It was pretty cool seeing the look at people's faces when I pulled out my Fender Tele... the look was priceless.

Back in block M level 4, I met up with some people from the pyramid gang.. and they started asking me about my status in romance... and I answered the obvious: single and not really looking. Don't get any ideas, guys.

The Presentation was pretty interesting, because as I was setting up the microphone after I had finished widdling around placing the amplifier right, there was Skinny Pole sitting in the LT with a similar look of surprise on her face. I thought she wouldn't be around in school on fridays, but anyway.. said hi then scooted off to wait for the girls to get their stuff together.

My turn came, I went up, sang 'Don't Panic' by Coldplay to kick start the presentation. I scrwed up some chords, and I eventually ended the song with 'come on, let's welcome these three ladies'. I sat there, squeezed off some notes, and ended up with a shortened, but no less emotionall charged 'Where Did you Sleep Last Night', which Skinny Pole just gave me the benfit of notification that I was screaming. Hmm.

Anyway.

I'm just glad VI and P4vare both over. That shit is down the drain.
