Caught an NBA match at the Garden stadium with Steve and Chris on Friday!...Boston Celtics against Portland Trailblazers...man the stadium was big and the game was kewl! but there was also entertainment at every stoppage like timeouts and half time and all!....reallie! like ok they had like free T shirt launching from rockets by the mascot "Lucky", falling parachute teddy bears, lucky contestant shooting a hoop (and this lady actually got it in from the D line), Lucky row contest (where everyone in a lucky row gets a prize, unfortunately noot my row), LIVE footage on the big screen as songs played, little kids playing basketball at halftime!(man they were good)...there were also people jumping on trampolines and dunking alls into the oops while doing acrobatic stunts!..very kewl!...anyhow heres the pics!

Here's a photo stitch which i just did...couldnt get ALL of the stadium in but heres the best one

Hey pple here are pics as requested!

I just got my new comp! lovely iMac Intel duo core! wohoo! been playing around with it with my friends and here's what we came up with using the inbuilt camera and a comic software:

Dunno y i'm so kiasu...i'm a blardy singaporean man haha...just had my first test (they call them quiz here). Ear training which we had to sight read and sing a melody and one rhythm while conducting. It went ok but i kinda slipped up the conducting bit on the melody. My teacher sed i had to work on conducting but I sill got an A which is like the top grade u can get. I was soooooo pissed after that man. I was sulking at lunch. "I could have done better" "why did i have to slip up?"

I think i'm turning into one of those idiots complaining when they scored well when others just cant do well, but hey, i'm here to work my ass off and if i dont get "ABSOLUTE PREFECTION" i'm not doing my job right? haiz...this sux. Good part bout being in music school is ACDEMICS IS MUSIC haha...so i'm reallie not doing any studying at all. Just ALOT of practice...oh yeah i realised 2 hours of prac a day is not enuff...i'm getting piled with songs to play by all my teachers...but its kewl...its ALL jazz this time haha...playing fats waller, charlie parker and duke ellington stuff! Love love!

On a lighter note...I"M GONNA BE A DJ! haha...i got on the college's alumni radio channel BIRN and i'll be showcasing stuff from berklee alumni...Diana Krall and John Mayer anyone? haha...i'll tell u guys how t get the feed on the internet when its all settled... best part is i get 1 credit for this man! damn kewl!
