| first CF of the new semester

Just two days ago, on a Sunday night. The time was around 11.20pm, right after our practice, Lionel suddenly inform all of us that we have to prepare a few songs using only the acoustic guitar for the coming Tuesday's CF. Immediately I was overwhelmed by the 'lemah' feeling. We were sort of under pressure from getting the NOC songs right and the fact that we haven't sort out our roll-call and end songs yet made it worse. Joel couldn't play as he had to go back to his hometown on Monday and that leaves just Julian and I. So I guess I wasn't too excited about it but...

wait! it's not what it seems!

Came windy/sunny Monday and we were to meet at Julian's place to practice, Seong was kind enough to volunteer to play along side with us too. As we practiced the first song, This Is Your Life by Switchfoot, I was reminded once more why I joined the NOC band in the first place. Shaking off the 'lemah' feeling, I poured what I have into the songs and together with Julian and Seong, we flooded place. ahaks~ How can I forget my main motive of playing the guitar? Mannn~

Now I'm sitting at home. After having some delicious cheese coffee and cheese cake (compliments from Vijay and Mark), I feel rather happy and satisfied. As Seong and I agree, playing our instruments has always been a pleasure for us, especially when we're playing it for a united reason. We played two songs for CF, This Is Your Life, which happens to be one of the end songs, and Rescue from Desperation album. I guess I was touched by the songs. It became more of a worship than a means of entertainment to me. Heh~ Can't wait for NOC4. Good nite peeps~

this is your life

yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

yesterday is a kid in the corner
yesterday is dead and over

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life are you who you want to be
this is your life are you who you want to be

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

and you had everything to lose
