I need to graduate from you few.

went to PLAY!, the video game orchestra, last friday. quite the wonderful video game music performance. they remixed plenty of songs. it give the songs an additional edge which made it rather refreshing and spicy even. the video image display overhead also made the music relevant and make gamers reminisce. pity it's a limited concert, for they are just so many great games with delightful music. in fact, just the FF series is more than a headache enough. they were even selling a special FF music CD, which i deliberated to buy. thankfully for stinky boy and the world of piracy.
but looking at the orchestra in motion made me look back at the days i was in one. though back then, it was a chinese set-up, but my beloved double-bass belongs originally to the classical. i can't help but to stare at the big n heavy instrument which i once hugged. damm, i kinda missed plucking the thick strings that gave me blisters and bowing out all those deep sonorous bass notes. pity the last 2 set-ups i was involved in were very very mercenary, which cause me to be greatly disillusioned. as much as i wanna be pro-active about it, certain things are just best left in the past.
escaped the weekend in a decent resort in JB, pulai springs. it was organised by my aunt's church, which meant some "mandatory" sermons and stuff. though i was feeling the rigours of the week and was gradually being rude to the speaker. it felt good to R&R, and i appreciated my aunt/uncle for bringing us there. as well as, my brother n cousins whom made the trip enjoyable, especially in the pool with the water gun and rubber air ball :)

Being unable to do what i truly want.
On the surface level, it does happen everyday. so much so that it numbs us sometimes.
however in recent times, the enormity of the emotion of being halted in my tracks from doing what i want overwhelmed me. there seems to be many forms of large blockades on the path leading between the heart and mind.
be it work commitments, financial constrains or social conformity, the feeling of being oppressed by something external sucks, really really sucks. literally, it's like a vacuum that drains one out totally, much like a merciless vampire.
i wanted to go the birthday party, i wanted to go play Dota at the lanshop, i want to go learn tennis, i want to go for all these courses, i wanted to reprise my role in the midfield.
well, one could indeed "shoot" me saying that i should be happy as my basic needs are sastified as compared to refuges, etc. to that, i dont have any rebuttals.
but what really ticks me off, are the activities that i'm doing instead. or should i say, the total lack of "activity" activities. the absolute lack of proper reason and aim are simply the icings on the cake.
maybe i'm oblivious towards the reasons, and i'm just a selfish little prat that cant see past his own perspective. and also that i'm the only guy involved in NDP that feels so.
boarden your mind! look forward towards THE much anticipated celebration of the state birthday! look at your brilliant and indispensible role of spotting people to faint and fall flat! never mind the numerous accompanying trainers and chaperons! ignore their role of taking care of the contigents! for without the spotter of fainters, the whole NDP cannot function!
Isn't NDP just such an apt allocation of manpower?
