Woke up earlier than I thought! So I went to hokkien service to check out on what's been happening there. Actually, I just wanted to check on the guys how they doing with the sound system!
Was there late! So, I went outside to have my coffee. Thought I'll go in again when altar call comes. They were singing after sermon ended. I was listening with my headphone on individual instruments and vocals and my, my, oh, my, they were not to the required standard. The keyboard was sparkling sharp and the acoustic guitar sounded metallic. These were the soundguy's mistake. had already corrected him. But the vocals, I guess they were all newbies. But still, it's for their good that I addressed my findings to Louis. They should improve if they take my findings objectively. The guy was singing monotonous with no sense of rhythm. There's no live in him. The other lady had a very weak voice, machiam no more breath. The one on the extreme left was okay. She seems to powerful vocal but she's not fully using it. Sigh, 3 out of 4 still in practise mode, cannot, lah! The one and only one left that could sing was probably because she had some singing background back in the main choir team. She's good. Told Louis, all she needs to improve on is to project more of her voice to the mic. I'm just guessing that she's singing from her vocal cords rather than from her diaphragm.
Went shopping with Mark later on. Owed him a Christmas present, so, bought him a shirt from Springfield. looks good on him, siah!
Went dinner with Mark, Jason and Charmaine. After that, we went to Purvis Street for dessert. Walked in, sat down, placed our orders of dessert, went up to the cashier, passed her my order and she asked me, "You never order food, ah?" Told her nope, just dessert. In turn, she said that they don't serve desserts alone, must order food then can at the same time pointing to the order form to a fine print printed "We don't serve desserts and drink alone!" I told her nicely,"You got business here, you don't want to do, ah?" She simply kept silent and pointed her finger rudely back to the slip printed "We don't serve desserts and drink alone!" I just smiled, turned towards my pals, said with a loud voice,"Lets go, we go elsewhere to eat!" You can imagine the rest of the patrons there looking at me. But who FREAKING cares, man! This kind of FREAKING service. So, we went back to the dessert stall at Liang Seah Street. The service was much more better. The lady even gave us a free packet of angpao envelopes.
Came home and was tired out. Blog this and went straight to bed.
