everything in
it's right place

you know what? i give up! this is about time i rest from all the jazz schmazz :)

this weekend i've learnt about (and mastered some!) extended and altered chords, chord substituition, flat seventh and diminished chords, and skimmed on 'parallel chromatic movement' which is really just playing crap chords next to each other that don't really sound that nice. as is the case with playing diminished chords all over the house!

and i can almost keep track of all the inversions (somehow i remember the more complicated ones first! and forget the easy ones?!) halfway through the book after two weekends. actually more like a third through. tough stuff on the brain, man!



started off the day by going to church. my brother was actually on time! he was ready by 9.45am to go to church; he's only usually out at 10am. and he drove really slowly. i think he still has the jitters from his accident? maybe. poor guy. after service we had a briefing about cake giving where people in our church go around distributing some christmas spirit! by giving cakes to people all over the neighbourhood and the acs boarding school too. it was such a boring briefing anyway, i didnt pay attention. and karl fell asleep! until i woke him up. haha.

there was supposed to be this thing called 'youth jam' after church. it was sort of a hassle at first, because i was supposed to go substitute karl and it was all over at the third place. then at the last minute they said it was canceled! i didn't know whether to be happy or sad. because i canceled all my plans for the afternoon! so i had to go find lunch by myself; sarah (who think she's seriously obese - give me a break!) was eating with her folks and so was jeff, the rest of our cell group sort of disappeared. thank God for jon chan! he drove all the way to pick me up at acs and we went to beach road to eat and look at guitars. he's such a nice guy! plus he even sent me to coronation plaza cuz i wanted to cut hair. but he didn't stay to send me back after that though; ok on second thought that would sort of be too much to ask for aleady.
