Recording Life
It’s been some time since I’ve posted online, well… blogged. Things are pretty hectic these days round, especially with life going on in the recording studio. It’s been really really really busy and I don’t think I can recall exactly what had happened because everyday I use up most of the energy I can find inside me, plus the still-unknown-factor to my sleepless nights, you could say that I am almost living in this dreaming realm at times. Like now, I feel myself floating somewhere, it’s hard to concentrate properly and focus to do one thing. Even during recordings, when ever we take a short break I’ll feel myself floating away. But it’s still weird, because as physically tired I can be, my mind doesn’t seem to want to rest.
Let’s see… I went back to Penang for the weekends to celebrate my grandma’s birthday. Came back on Sunday night// Monday Morning to be exact… then started my recording life.
We started recording on Monday and it’s Wednesday today. Right? Lolx. Monday’s recording… we were supposed to start recording at 1:00PM but when we reached Avenue 1 (recording venue) we found out that everything’s not prepared. (Note "We": YiFen, Me, Rong, Benny, YeeIee) How did we go there? We went by LRT, reached Bandar Tasik Selatan’s LRT Station, took a cab and went there. Since I’ve already been there before, I led the way, sitting in the cab with Yee Iee whilst the others took another cab and followed ours. So, since everything’s not prepared for us (No piano) , we waited. The piano came around 2:30PM and when everything’s done, I started recording on the (digital) piano. Finished everything in 3 hours (totally left out Rudolphs’ part in Finale, but recorded the next day d) then the mixer, Serene told us that we can go take dinner and come back around 1 hour ++ because she’ll need some time to transfer the files. So the 5 of us went to the nearby mamak stall and ate. The food’s not good… but it’s cheap lar, so don’t expect too much lor. But there’s only Mamak around that area, what to do? Day one ended pretty quickly after the very tiring rounds of recording starting with Rong’s Maybe… then Yee Iee’s, YiFen’s solo here and there and Benny + YiFen.
The 5 of us went home, tired and weary. Benny stayed over at my place and slept on Angie’s bed cuz Angie went back to Ipoh. He falls asleep very quickly, Rong wasn’t bad either… lolx. Angie’s still the best company at night cuz she won’t leave me with my eyes open and snore loudly. At least she’ll try to accompany me… unlike these to piggies. Lolx. Benny even managed to kicked his blanky somewhere else (foot of the bed) and yanked at my hand (which was hanging at the edge of my bed) hard as though he was tugging his blanket. Sweat. I just FELL deep asleep, freaked the hell out of me you freako~! Kick Kick Kick, then cold d sleep tille until look like prawn. Lolx… nevermind lar, I forgive you.
The second day of recording… (Yesterday) started very early in the morning as I had asked them to come for practice again… like Monday. (Note "them": Benny, May Chong, Shu Sim, Kai Shi, 3 Fairy Godmothers) This day’s recording started at 12pm and ended around 6pm. Everything went on "ookay" I guess. Wouldn’t mention much about the exact incident that had gone on because I don’t really remember. At night, a few of us plus another few that joined us later on went to Amway’s seminar, plus a good ichiban dinner at jusco. (Note "a few of us": Khai Shin, Zhen Lin, Angie, Benny and Me) The seminar by David Yong was rather humerous (or rather cold), but Khai Shin was very entertaining because she kept laughing like some moron and the other two guys can’t stop critisizing her, and I keep laughing like Benny.. OH NO. Lolx.
How was today? My mind is malfunctioning at this precise moment, so I’m going to do this short and brief. I woke up around 9am today (I slept rather well, 3am to 9am without waking in the middle) by Khai Shin’s sms telling me that I can reach around 10am for practice. I headed to Simshen after buying Nasi Lemak from the auntie downstairs who insist I look like Karen from Akademi Fantasia.. lolx. Just as I was about to reach Simshen, I witness Chelsea and KokBeng get off their vehicles and smiled at me. I blinked. Then blinked again. Then my jaw dropped. Then they started laughing… Well, I didn’t expect them (LittleNoise members soon-to-be) to come. But looks like I’m one of those left behind on this particular matter. Well, our practice started off pretty quickly after some good games of poker. Hahahaha… cheer Yee Iee for bringing his poker cards.
The whole choir sat in 3 different cars and headed to the studio around 2pm. (Oh, forgot to mention the change of time geh story… that Botz called me in the middle of the night on Tuesday and told me that they couldn’t make it untill 3pm. The recording was supposed to be at 12pm.) Then we started our hard-knock-recording-life. Today was the MOST tiring day compared to the days before… I found myself drifting away a lot, plus with all the emotional rise and downs thanks to all my lovely LittleNoise makers. Won’t jot down too much details, let’s hope some of you others blog more than I do lar… Lolx.
Salutes and Cheers to The LittleNoise Choir. Thank you for being capable of tolerating my crazy emotions. I know I can be pretty insane some times… Hehe. Lots of love.
