Busy, Busy Week - Ceremony at the Avenue!

It has a been a week since i wrote anything here. My blog is going to rot.

After Earth hour - which i totally can't do anything about it - i am now sitting in front of my beloved computer.

I can hardly catch a breath this whole week! And now that i finally do, i am pouring my heart out here.

Omigawd, let's just say that this was my busiest week in the first three months of 2009. I had choir practise every single bloody day, then a pile high of school homework -given by those merciless teachers, and then the stuff with the band and everything else that was going through my small little head. And i am now in the middle of writing - both stories and songs!! How am i supposed to figure out and organize my life sometimes, i do not know. But it seems that this little head of mine is very capable of a little skill called multi-tasking.

Then of course, which caused me to even dream about the work that i am supposed to do, and the horrible tragic IF i did not finish it... *shudder*

Of how i got through this bizarre week, i must thank two of my most favourite band - Paramore & Avenged Sevenfold. They gave me inspiration and so-called strength to do my work and plan my life. Without their music by my ears every single day, i wouldn't know if i am even alive today.

I would probably die of exhaustion by the street on the way to tuition - if i were to live this week without them. No kidding.

Nowadays, i am very into bands. I even checked out local bands like Bus Company (awesome), 7 Collar T-Shirt (nice music, but sucky vocal) and some more other bands. And then of course, there are the international bands which are totally, incredibly awesome!!! For example: Yellow Cards, The Script, Plain White T, Lifehouse, Nickleback, My Chemical Romance, Muse, Mayday Parade, Bullets for my Valentine, Korn (ahh, i adore Korn!), Slipknot, Jimmy Eat World, Faber Drive, Iron and Wine, Flyleaf...

If i were to continue, i wouldn't be able to sleep.

And now - as i am writing - i am listening to Paramore's Conspiracy. An awesome song. The sole reason i love Paramore so damn much.

As i had said earlier, i was incredibly busy. But one of the reason i couldn't get my lazy ass to the front of the computer was because i was always in front of the computer. With nothing to do - sarcastic - checking tonnes of music videos, listening to new music and creating new ones of my own. I simply hadn't the heart to write anything else!

Of course, now that i do find time, please bear the long-ness with me.

On the following Sunday, i went for church early in the morning. But the night before, i had so damn many dreams, i couldn't actually sleep till it was 5am in the morning. I had too many things to think about to sleep. But i was also a little too excited and overreacted about everything. Lol. Typical ol' me.

And then at 7am, i had to wake up. I went to church (my friends call me 'good little church girl'... WHY??) and then went for Sunday school.

At 11 30am, i had to go to my mum's shop to eat, then go straight to school - due to the competition on Wednesday. And then at 12pm - 2pm, i was in school. But 2 15pm, i went to Yamaha for concert practise, which my teacher had so badly wanted me to sing/ play the violin. I must admit, though it was a little cliche, but the songs are heavenly! Mama Mia, Dancing Queen anyone?

And then, right after the rehearsal, i had to go for band practise. The practise that day was awesome. We played Pressure and My Heart - both songs from Paramore, I'm sure you know. And then a little of I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. Jason, Lee, Eevonne, Elaine and a girl was there with us. After the practise, we went to 7/11 where Paul bought me a Slurpee and we hung out, talked/ discussed some things and went to my home for dinner. The girls wanted to follow, but Marcus's car couldn't fit all 8 of us, so the girls had to go home themselves. They took forever to make a decision, and Marcus and i were too tired and lazy to hurry them up. (I had to go home, my mum was yelling at me already).

The name of our band - Ceremony at the Avenue! It took the boys forever to decide on the name. One hour and twenty minutes, i could still remember. *sigh* Boys. The band was officially formed at 8 02pm (between 21-24 seconds) 03/29/2009, my house's front porch.

Marcus: 'Paul, can you shut up for a while? Just for a while?'
Paul: 'Beeeeeekkkk!'
Marcus, Carl Min, Jason, myself : '*laugh*'

Jason actually fell down from the chair - the result of laughing too hard. Lol!!
