Arjevbin Fayed and Bybeiev Rhibodie

Yeap. My one year two month gig in Maestro will finally come to an end come end of the month after Isaiah told me he had to let me go. I'm not sad about it actually, I kind of chose it because he offered me back my regular position which I declined. Anyway, I have been "semi-fired" since last year already anyway...

I would say in all honesty that I preferred working with the staff lineup when I first joined. People like Zilong, Charlene (who is still working), Valarie and of course Vincent were really fun working with. But at the end of it all, I will say that it was a very enriching experience really. I learned a lot about guitars from my superiors there.

Speaking of Vincent, I went over to his place last Tuesday. My goodness. His room is like WOAH man... Guitars hanging all over the place and two eardrum-stimulating amps - The Fender 4x10 DeVille and a Marshall Vintage Modern half-stack. How cool is that man?

Also, I have been FINALLY making good use of my free time. I have been heading over to the YFC HQ to help prepare some event in June as well as learning some stuff about the Bible. Really nice people there. They don't seem to get anal despite my constant problem with punctuality, which strangely enough is kind of making me want to change that.

I also had my first "shadow-session" (that's what they call it) for the church band on Monday. It was a good experience but I realize I need to work on a lot of stuff, ESPECIALLY getting my hand flexible enough to do them weird-ass chords as well as working on transposition. I couldn't really hear myself well throughout the session though. Yong Wei had this super-thick sound which kind of blanketed over mine as well as Egwin who was on bass.

Daniel's big day would be on Sunday where he would play for service for the first time. Man, that poor kid, Marcus was grilling him throughout the session on Monday. The pressure's on! But ahya, Daniel is a pretty good drummer lah, I think he'll do well on Sunday.

Speaking of big day, mine will be coming Tuesday. You know what to do...
