Waiting for a video to upload, on iMovie to Youtube 3hours remaining, to Facebook 4 hours 57 minutes..haha, so much for uploading a HD video (I didn’t even record them in HD :P) Watching the rain fall outside my window, looks depressing to some, but really go guys should try walking in the rain, it’s really cool. The rain drops here aren’t as painful as the ones in Singapore, plus like every other cold countries, it is warmer when it rains since the storms clouds traps the heat inside.
The trip seems to be getting busier and busier by the days, with more plans more or less settled and implemented. Somehow Michael and Mike seems to be make their plans for the day on the day itself, purely improvisational indeed. But somehow it works out.
Just yesterday we had our second rehearsal this time round with our electronic instruments (Pedalboards, Laptops, Keyboards, Synthesizers), and the following is some of the little toys we have setup.
Will upload some of our rehearsals videos as soon as possible…
So after we went back to Yates’ (again) to have lunch. Only this time round we took a bus down to town! YAY!
It’s cost £3.50 to buy a return ticket to town, now I really appreciate the transportation fees here in Singapore, which at most would go only up to $ 2.20 at most, I think. Bus number 25 was the loop service bus we took from Keele to the bus interchange in town.
I guess we pretty much traveled the full journey of the bus, the bus-stop near our hostel was the last bus-stop before the bus loops at the roundabout back to the interchange in town. So, it getting to town was pretty straightforward.
So after we had lunch at Yates, we went to look for items to build our sound sculptures – basically an instrument made up of recycled materials such as CD racks, washers, wooden boards and other things you find in your junkyard or garage, mainly played by wither hitting or scraping. The idea is to repurposing an item in a musical context.
I have actually videoed the shopping experienced down, so enjoy.
Well, right now, we are waiting for either the rain to stop (which is highly unlikely) or for a car to come, so that we can proceed on to our practices in the venue. Watching pretty interesting show, Jeremy Kyle show (by iTV show) is the name I think, basically like a show for couples to confess their secrets to one another or something, from having affairs 5 people to sleeping with 10, or being honest and not done anything of that sort. You’ll have to watch it to understand.
It quite tragic though to see so many couple face off with this issue, watching the show, some questions that kept popping in my mind, how did they chose their boyfriend/girlfriend and why? It’s strange that couples are hiding so many things form another. Shouldn’t BGR be a time a where a couple explores the possibility of spending a life-time with one another faithfully? Wouldn’t that make honesty and trust the core a relationship? What ever happened to faithfulness?
Sigh, the impact of sin…left so many people blind to these truths, I only wished I could have told them these things that we have learn.
Oh, time for me to leave this place, will continue to update you guys and upload video. Stay tuned.
