A Day In The Life Of An Oblivious Ape.: Cha-ching!

Hoo boy...

It's been an eventful past few days.

First off, WE BUSKED FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY!!!

UPBEATS PERCUSSION!!!

BUSKING AT TAMPINES INTERCHANGE!!!

WOOO!!!

Take it from me; the feeling that comes with busking is indescribable. You know your music's reaching people when more of them come to your spot by the minute!

We started off kinda shaky, probably because some of us hadn't familiarised ourselves with the new arrangement yet - and probably because it was OUR FIRST DAMN TIME BUSKING!!!

WOOO!!!

But once we got into the swing of things, nothing could stop us - we were giving life to our pieces and instruments by stylizing our playing, performing impromptu more that anything else. It was AWESOME.

Although I did say 'nothing' could stop us, there was one thing that probably affected our performance - or maybe it's just 'me' rather than 'our' - and that was stamina. Tell me, how DO you keep up the energy in a percussion performance for more that 4 hours?

And it didn't help that losing my grip on the mallets. Sorry. =P

*cue 19th-century British accent*

Oh, I do hope we can do this again sometime soon.

Oh oh me and my mom looked around for a new phone for me after dinner just now. Turns out the phone I want (Yes, kids. It's a 'want', not a 'need'.) costs 628 big ones without a contract. DAMN YOU SONY ERICSSON!

So here's the situation with me and my current phone:

I bought my K800i for the 3.2 megapixel camera, which was a BIG DEAL back then for a phone to have.

After prolonged use, the joystick began to degrade and malfunction.

Since the joystick was the primary (and pretty much ONLY) mode of navigation for the phone, this kinda SUCKED.

So I pretty much require a new phone.

My contract only ends next year.

SO the only way for me to get a new phone is to get one without the benefit of a contract promotional price, which is pretty expensive, as I would have mentioned earlier.

Anybody care to sponsor 400 bucks? It -is- my birthday next week.

Oh, you didn't know?

Oh.

Well, it's okay.

I guess.

My mobile life sucks.
