How can I not be affected when you are already a part of my life? :)
I can't help but wonder, and wondering was all I did.
I'm handling everything as good and as neat as they should be.
I'm trying to be a good student, a good friend, a good boyfriend, a good son, and a good teacher.
Somehow the insecurity still eats me up inside.
Or maybe its just because...
tiredness overwhelmed me.
I shall wake up to another beautiful morning.
Good morning.

The Story Alley
Eu-Bo-Ly-Ars
This marks the last performance
(which I hope its not and more to come in the future)
of me with
Eugene Ooi, Lynette Lim and Arsene Saw.
It was an honorable pleasure to have the chance to perform with you guys!!
Along with Zhen Yao and Fui Fui 秋慧. The sparks are always there whenever I'm performing with you guys !!!
I did not join nor involve with the preparation of The Story Alley from the very beginning, it was Yi Jing who messaged in Facebook, and told me about it. I remembered Ah Boey (An Qi) did told me about it as well, and it was her who led me to KONKOS, where they were like auditioning the programs that are gonna be included into the performances of The Story Alley.
I met Eugene and Lynette there. They were holding their entry form for their performance, I sat down and ask them what am I getting myself into, and they filled me in with the theme description of The Story Alley. As I took out my guitar and we played and sing some songs, we thought of forming a performance together by singing some famous english and chinese pop songs back in the 90s. And voila, we are formed! Arsene joined along as part of the performance.
Through endless headache moments of picking songs and linking each songs with each other, trying to bear a reason why this song should be linked with that song, changes of genres, dynamics and everything else, we finally came out with a medley that is balanced between both the dynamics and the linkage of the songs, where it won't bored out the audience, while we enjoyed it with our utmost passion.
Though I am not there to witness EVERY process of preparations made for The Story Alley, I could imagine the hard work, passion and commitment that each and every committee members and performers poured into. From the preparations of backdrop and its design, to the setup of microphones, props design and placement, understanding of the layout of stage lighting systems and sound systems, coordinations between performance, lightning and sound system, and most importantly, breaking the barrier between each other in order to communicate better and for the good of The Story Alley. To me it is totally imaginable as I've involved in the preparation of the concert of The Wanderers.
The process is astonishing, and it marks the end of another meaningful journey on the 12th of March, 2011.
I will try to mention most people's name right here, most, if not all.
Eugene, Arsene, Lynette - knowing that you guys are graduating soon, and it is, at my utmost sincerity, to thank you all for performing with me. I had great fun practicing and performing with you guys. Eugene maybe the largest influence, but 3 of you influenced me and 'unlocked' the restrictions I had while performing on stage. Improvements made on myself because of you guys. I sincerely hope that this is not our last performance. It may be the last one in USM, but one of our performance in many more to come in the future.
Chiew Fui & Zhen Yao - We were once again performing on the stage of DSP, together. The sparks are ALWAYS there whenever we perform together :) And I do looking forward to our performances to come in the future. And of course its mostly because we've been through the preparations of Wanderers' concert like no other, love you guys!!!
Ah Pao - Great job on coordinating everything... you did a really great job!! And it is really nice to have known you!!
Suna 淑娜 - Thank you for giving me unlimited moral support, and also accompanying me through the preparation like recording harmony lines late at night even though you were not involved in its preparation!!
Kah Yiing - aiyoyo 这位同学, thank you for accompanying me and willing to chat nonsense with me through my short short moment of weakness hehe. I'm still waiting for our dinner!
Caryn Leong Jen Wey - sorry for not picking up your calls or reply your messages at times, because it is always so 'ngam' that whenever u called me text me my phone wasn't with me!!! I don't mean to ignore u!! Thank you for giving me a lot of supports, and yes, the makeup as well. You did great!! :)
Ai Hua - Thank you for being a nice nice baby sitter for our performances and your support. Hehe. You are very nice la! :)
Jit Xiong & Chun Sheng - The control of the sound systems is a thing that I always worried whenever I'm performing somewhere, but not when you guys are the ones that handle the systems. Credits to you guys for the coordinations and everything else. Great job!!!!
Kelsen Loh - I totally agree with you that its better for me to put up my specs instead of taking it off!!! hahahahaha. Thank you for coming dude!!!
BACKSTAGE STAFFS WHO SETUP BACKDROPS AND COORDINATING PROPS, CABLES AND MICROPHONES, YOU GUYS DID A WONDERFUL JOB! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND HARD WORK!!!
Brothers and sisters from Wanderers! - Thank you guys for coming and support our performances!!! You guys are the best :) I LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!
I left out a lot of people I know, but no worries, your name is mentioned in my heart :) Thank you, seriously.
Another wonderful chapter reached its end :)

Mainstage
...
每当站在槟洲大会堂的舞台上，就一直想再那里徘徊，迟迟都不肯下台。
Technical Run/Sound check, 每当在这里表演，这两个term就一直出现。
站在那舞台上有种很温馨的感觉，好多好多回忆，当然唤起的记忆也包括了表演以外的事情。
12032011又要在那里发光发亮了。期待 :)
