yesterday i played my guitar

in front of an audience

in the esplanade recital studio

it was pretttty schweet.

i never thought i would say this but
i think i will miss our disorganised + sleepy + cold sat morning alumni practices...a lot.

before the concert started, during dinner, i had a sudden overwhelming feeling of alone-ness. because i realised in uni i wouldnt have this awesome nj guitar family with me anymore, and even the brudders wouldnt be complete. im very much on my own there. i think.

i think thats why i could play bridge over troubled waters with so much feeling. i was thinking about all the people that i've met and enjoyed good times with and may not see ever again.

as you can see im quite a pessimist

but i felt strangely light and happy at the end of the concert. and i guess i realise thats because i was too busy relishing the joy of performing to think about anything else. and that felt so, so good. to think about nothing except that particular moment.

sorry this wasnt supposed to be so wordy. aha.

on a side note,

sorry theres no vid for you this year.
but here's some modified lyrics:

Hey Juns, Happy birthday
you are nineteen, no longer ei-ighteen
and next year you're going to be twenty
but for now - you're only nineteen.

and you were one of the people i was thinking of when i played bridge (aww) so that one goes out to you! haha. take care and all the best and hope we can keep in touch. =)
