Esplanade Gig Singapore ( Part 2)
Alrighty. Ready for part 2 ? It's been a week now. So I'm just gonna finish the remaining part of it and get done with it. muahaha.
Day 2 at singapore. Seemed like everyone had their own plans planned out here. Some had to find potential buyers and sellers of guitar parts, some had to find loved ones, some went to give vocal training.
Me? Went with Mozad and Tony to look for the elusive Swee Lee music shop. Elusive? yea. We went round in circles searching for it.
Nah. This ain't Swee Lee. But turned out to be one of the many music shops located at City Hall. There were 9-10 music shops located there at the same area. Later got me real 'pek chek' ( frustrated) about it. I'll tell as we go on.
We looked and looked till finally we found Swee Lee. But it didn't have that many drum stuff . My expectations were like sky high before this. Anyways, they didn't even sell my brand of drumsticks there. Sighs.
Anyways, later everyone, and I meant EVerYone splitted up. Thank God for Mich, who managed to contact me tho I didn't handfon services. If not would have been alone, wandering the streets of Spore. Keke.
Boarded the MRT to Tampines to have lunch with Julia, our famous SIA air hostess now. Awesome lunch. Yum.
After that, Mich and Julia went on a shopping frenzy cos of the Singapore Sale. hehe. I had to head back for sound check.
sorry, I meant butt-check.
:p
The view from Esplanade. It's really a nice place to chill out. It's romantic, it's quiet. You see people jogging by, you see couples enjoying their moments, you see families having quiet quality outings.
Photo's taken by Mozad grinning away behind the camera. :P
The backstage photo. I like this pic a lot. Backstage is where we discuss our songs between breaks, talk about anything under the sun, make stupid jokes and talk about family and friends.
Anyway that was Day 2.
Next day we headed to church, together.
It was good. Looks familiar? Yea, the church was at a cinema itself. It's not an old broken down cinema. It's exactly like GSC at a shopping mall here. After service, they clean up, people walk in and catch their movie. Good eh?
Lunch with the pastors. Felt like a mission trip here.
After lunch we actually 2 hours to spare. Instead of catching forty winks, some of us hardcore-music-shop-finders decided to sniff out more music shops. and boy, did we found out more music shops at the city hall which we didn't notice the day before. sad thing was, they had 2 drum shops!! just selling drum stuff...and...and...it was cloSED!!!! :( :(
all in all, I'm so coming back here for drums. anyone going to singapore? try this plaza k? it's opposite city Hall. Swee Lee is not everything. Here, just the building alone they have like 7-8 music shops alone. Everywhere you turn there are guitars displayed oh-so-gloriously.
Last gig
This is Mozad's bass. Frankenstein bass, they call it. Cos he kinda custom made it himself.
wished I could take this notice back home.
Ok. This is the last of the pics.
We were all so drained towards the last set. 28-30 songs a day. 3 days. Almost 90 songs all in all.
I'm not big time. Just really priviledged and blessed to have this opportunity. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything else. I've learned so much. Enjoyed so much. Bonded with these really cool people.
How can I describe everything in a few words?
It's like going for a holiday in singapore, just that your holiday schedule includes jamming on stage with the best musicians in the country.
That's about it.
Have a nice day, y'all.
Ja.
