It is most unwise for people in love to marry. - George Bernard Shaw. How true, because marriage enshrines your love in law, and then proceeds to kill it slowly. In that respect, there's something to be said for cohabitation. Why the heck am I talking about this anyway? School today was humdrum. Didn't turn up at the Social Sciences Quiz, even though RECAS was probably doing something there. Guitar was boring. Congratulations to Daniel on becoming secretary! After that I was trying to play Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing At All, where my lack of experience with chords shows noticeably. Haha, I'm beginning to love my piano a little bit more now. I wish I had some talent with that. Maybe I'm just too lazy when it comes to practising. Too bad, I'm sufficiently physically endowed to be a decent pianist. I can stretch to a 9th fairly comfortably, a 10th if I push it. My teacher used to tell me I could play Rachmaninoff. Never believed her though. Check that, I think I love my own voice more. (Yes, I'm becoming a narcissist under Yi-Xun's negative influence.) I miss singing, not for choir, but for worship leading. So sad, because I haven't led in two months at YE, I think. Never mind, it's more fun to harmonise in the background. I think all back-ups should be taught to harmonise before they become back-ups!

Just finished my part of the tutorial paper for tomorrow. Oh, and my group qualified for the Singapore Guitar Festival 2004 heats. That means I have to go back again the Sunday after next. I wish we wouldn't wear our concert attire there, it's so hot! Can we come up with something more relaxed, but still standardised? Anyway, damn psyched up about Raffles Move & Groove this Sunday. Can you believe that our class distracted Mr Sowden from the lesson by asking him to do an economic analysis of our stall? So we went into theory of costs, theory of price, and apparently even a little bit of J2 Economics. He really enjoyed the lesson, said so at the end. Something along the lines of how we tried to distract from for 10 minutes, succeeded in doing it for more than an hour, but he still tricked us into learning some important concepts of economics. He also told Mr Purvis about it, who told us about it during his tutorial. Also helping our senior class with their haunted house. Maybe they can borrow my Delerium CDs to create the atmosphere? I'll give them the one that supposedly sounds like a horror movie soundtrack. Sigh, I missed the Raffles Players' performance. Was in practice, and felt bad about leaving halfway. Oh well, not that you'd have noticed me there anyway...
