Take a break from the hustle and bustle of life
Had audio production class today, was introduced to the CF Recorder and Audio Pro Tools. It was really fun! Since it is only the first class, I can't be sure if this will be my forte or I am suited to be a DJ. However, I realised that my voice is tremendously low compared to typical girls. It sounded pretty boring and monotone due to the low pitch. Guess I shall up my pitch next time.
Did some sound recording with Monica too! And, it has been such a long time that I haven't been singing that my pitch and key were all off. Horrible voice, but good attempt. Cheers to Monica, she sang quite well. Her voice is pretty influential when she sings, there's this..I don't know what it's called, maybe vibration? That adds in lots of feelings to the songs she sang.
After that, met up with Marcus to chill at City Hall. Poor him, he chose to join me even though he's still sick when he could go home straight after his revision. Really thank him a lot actually. Brought him around Waterfront to see the Merlion, yes he has never been to the waterfront much less see the Merlion there before. Had great talks about art and the Moon too! He's really an interesting guy who has lots of hidden talents. He seems to be one who is trained to have both the rough and gentle skills and is able to balance them out.
Went to the roof terrace, heard a bit of the performance there. But it wasn't really to my liking cause I prefer to listen to live band performances. I mean those typical ones with guitar, keyboard, and drums. Saw a great handful of photographers taking pictures. And actually, I realised that Marcus had great potential in Photography. I chose not to say anything, since he is still at the beginning stage of learning to take photos rather than going straight into Photography. But his keen eyes of details especially colours, and crafting pictures, makes him a natural talent in Photography..Teehee.
Laid on the grass carpet to look at the clouds and stars. Very relaxing, but not at all efficient. It is really a spot for one to stop brooding over whatever troubles he or she has, but totally not for one to sort out his or her thoughts. We talked a lot there. Like what he usually does, and the monstrous training sessions he has underwent and in fact, going to undergo. Those were seriously scary ones. Hardcore training. We even imagined what objects are the clouds taking forms of. There were owl, heart, smiley face, Casper and etc.
Went home really late and as expected, Dad wasn't pleased. Oh well oh well, I believe that I have come to an extent that I am learning how to forgo kinship so that I would no longer be so mindful of their feelings and be stubborn and wilful about my own ways. So many people have been telling me, "Eileen, don't worry so much. You are thinking too much. You gotta think about yourself first, cause when things happen, people will only care for themselves before others."
But if only, I can let go just like how I was in the past. Or maybe, I need to resume back to my icy princess personality before I can be back on track. On the other hand, am I so extreme that in the past, I was so icy. Now, I'm too fiery?
PS: Some of the photos were taken by Marcus. Hehe :D
