Today was such a chill/stormy/moody family day. Accompanying dad to the mall for getting his haircut but his usual capster didn't come. Then we decided to go to the city. I planned to get us this pork belly around The Rocks area but there was road closure at George street and every way was getting detour. Far out.
First initial plan with pork in my mind was washed away. Dad parked around QVB. Had our lunch - only me and bro though - at Westfield. We wandered around the shopping centre. I felt like "Man I need a job, I need other life." To spend time with family is a very good thing I believe, but for every weekend, man you got to get yourself out, do what you gotta do and do what you love to do eventually.
But anyway the universe is being nice to me. On Saturday morning I got a chance to go to a kids' parties with my new boss for observation. Yeah baby, I got my first weekend job! It was unexpected actually. Just saw an ad on internet looking for kids' party entertainer. I applied on Monday and the owner asked me to come along with her on Saturday to see what the role would be like. I woke up earlier on 7am, unusual wake up time for a jobless like me. She asked me to wear nice clothes and make up and met her at station on 11 am. Since I live far on eastern and the station is on western, i should be very time-organised this time. Gladly I woke up early so I still had a chance to do laundry, having proper cereal breakfast, having a chat with dad for our family trip to Melbourne next two weeks. Anyway, after saw those two parties - the Ozzy and Indian kids' parties - it was such an overwhelming experience. For me who grew up in family who loves to organise a birthday party - it was like seeing my childhood time. So what I should do in this role are dressing in a costume, throwing a couple of fun games, doing face-painting and balloon twisting. She even allowed me to do singing and dancing if I am comfortable to do so. She actually wants me to jump out there as soon as possible since she has a lot request during this time of the year. But I told her that I need to observe her two-three times to really get a clear idea about the routine. She was really cool with it and let me take my time to learn. The good side is I am her first trainee. So far she always works by herself for almost 10 years. Now it is the time for her to pass the knowledge and time to a younger person. I will do my best!
It feels good to have your spare time doing something none other than arts and performing, entertainment. Something I always have passion for.
I am still keen for having funk/r'nb/jazz/pop music gig and creating my own music. I know it takes time. But having performing hiatus for almost 10 months is driving me nuts, seriously. I spend my free-time for the past 3 weeks for making my own music, despite my limitation in musical instruments, or just doing karaoke from youtube. It trains my vocal ability and release all the stress. It feels like my heart wanna scream "MAN I WANNA DO MUSIC MY WHOLE LIFE!". Nothing else.
I contacted someone from this facebook group who wants to have a freeform jazz/funk group. I have no idea if they need singer, so I was just giving him message in FB. He seems into instrumentalist jazz. I told him to contact me if he needs vocal in it.
10 months without performing. I'm craving for stages!
Now this is "your" part.
I just don't get it what you trying to do with my life. Everyday you always say hi, asking lagi ngapain. Sometimes I miss you so bad until it comes to the point I do not want to contact you first or hoping to much cus I'm afraid my heart will be mixed up. Sometimes the funny thing happened between us. Still remember I came up late for your special gig at Marrickville, I was 10 minutes late. Your band finished earlier than the schedule. Then 3 days ago it was DJ Jazzy Jeff special free performance at Surry Hills. We supposed to meet up before the show for martabak, your favorite Indonesian food, at Ultimo. BUT you fell asleep it was already 630pm meanwhile you have your friend's EP launching on 8pm. We decided to cancel the dinner. I still went out to Jazzy Jeff, having fun dancing through the night, without alky at all lol and I danced like krazy. Nothing could stop me hey. I got back on 1am, hopped on 1:10am bus. You texted me "We tried to get in but got denied." And I was like,'man why dont you tell me earlier, I just got in to the bus 5 minutes ago." Found out he was there an hour ago and he was already at home that time. So after his friend's event, he came to surprise me but he was being denied to come inside cus he was a lil bit drunk from the beer he drank previously. Plus his battery was dead.
We didn't hang out at all this week. Knowing the fact that you have finished all your assignments and only need to do the transcriptions, I thought it's gonna give us more quality time. But so far, no movie night, no jazz gig, no proper date as you've promised to me couple of times.
