Redundant

Today i've been made rather redundant. From 2 become 7, the horn section grew 2.5 times. And it was only when i reached that i thought i should have otherwise.

I've never played in a band with 7 horns before. Regardless the skill level, 7 is still quite an overkill.

And since it was so, i overkill-ed on the overkill.. but i'm glad the tone was still ok too. I couldn't hear myself very well really.. coz most of them are trying to overkill too.. and seriously the tuning was super out during the dry run.

Actual performance was rather alright, just that i find that being the side/background is not really that appealing to me. Can i just come in and play and then leave after playing? Miscued 1 wrong note altogether.. but it makes no difference. Even if i didn't play, there won't be any difference.

We became the "ad-hoc" band, with lots of ad-hoc players and attire. Ok la.. i just fail to see the positive light out of the whole thing. Maybe i'm just too shocked to see so many horns after a dry spell of almost 7 years. I promise i will be more appreciative the next time. Further more, this is not a band event, so actually is like that one.. as with all the other. I guess i'm just feeling irritated due to insufficient sleep (yesterday was tiring lor.. coz stand and stand).

Today is a very warm day, and wearing that promoter attire makes me rather uncomfortable.. coz my tummy couldn't fit in as well as before. Since june, i've put on 4kgs.. mostly to my now chubby face.. and my belly. I couldn't distinguish whether it is a beer belly anymore.

Thankfully the trip home was rather fast compared to the trip to.. and the bus at 10pm++ didn't have much passengers too.. so didn't have to stop that many times..

Overall a very tiring day where i fail to appreciate. Hoped the next one would be better.

p/s: i enjoyed the muffins door gift though.. hahaha.. at least a change from the usual instant noodles.
