auditions! yeah!
yinghao's solos kicked ass for bandandjeffrey, even when played at 2x speed (gotaticketforaworldwhereweeebelooong). joel's sore throat ended up making our emo songs sound suitably-raspy, and everyone managed to catch the cues for spin (constipated guitar shakes + frenetic nodding = no cockups!). don't look back in anger had all the other bands (auditionees? bandites? competition? muhaha) clustered outside the window and swaying in musical camarderie.
and as for onetimegoodone... oh man. we rocked the hell out! despite the minor cockups energy was damn bloody high. awesome. lydia started off shaky but steph sang like a pro, and ray shone on the keys... and liyana is now ray's biggest fan after AoD. which didn't sound boring, or muddy at all, thank god.
and the title for funkiest-song-ever has to go to i will survive. solo, solo, solos! yinghao's blazing guitar solos, jay's amazing drumming, ray's trumpet, steph's angryangsty singing, and my very-tiny 8-bar solo :) woarrghhhhhh! rock on!
now to catch up with all the lectures i've missed. poo.

to be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best night and day to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting.
