I am sore :(
Yes. I am sore. My lips.. that is.And not only that, I've proof to show you that I'm not lying.
See!! I wasn't lying. Okay, it's not exactly the most flattering picture but you get what I mean.On how I got this.. is a whole different story. You see... I was playing with.. my precious.
Vincent Bach. Quite nice right the case. But damn heavy with the amount of stuff I put in there.Ok reason I'm playing with him is coz I've an audition coming.. like.. very soon. In approximately uhh.. two weeks. Ahhhh OMG OMG!! It's two freaking weeks?!?! That's the only time I've left? OMG... shit. I never realized it was so soon. Will somebody please do me a favour and just kill me already??
Please??
Pretty please???
Ok my attempt was the puss in boots shiny eyes, and I found this picture of not bad looking Antonio Banderas who was the voice of Puss in Boots. But Puss in Boots isn't exactly doing the shiny eyes thingy.So ok, I found another picture.. so there you go..
*big shiny eyes*
(after some 20 minutes later, when I'm all calm and cool)
Ok.. what I wanted to write was uhh.. how I practice trumpet here.
It's a tiny bit tricky since it's quite late at night, well ok.. around 9 something at night. And I don't want to wake the neighbours up and have them throw rotten eggs or tomatoes at me. Although I wonder how they can do that. What I do is this.
First and foremost, I have my trusty trumpet(ok, not always trusty coz sometimes it makes me sound like a duck which is not a nice feeling. But then again, I guess it's probably not its fault, it's mine coz my lip muscles aren't what they used to be if I stop playing for awhile).
And then... I have my mute(which is just a straight mute where we normally use for orchestra, I don't have the practice mute sighh).
Then... I have a... cloth. Haha. Yes.. A cloth. Of all things. A cloth, it's dirty a bit as you can see from the wiping and stuff but oh well.
Ok. What I do is.. (a trick that my tutor, Mr B. taught me)Stick the mute into my trumpet and take the cloth to wrap around it. So.. it is a tiny more difficult to play and need more air to play and since I've small lungs, I'll get dizzy and stuff haha. But.. you gotta do what you gotta do.
So.. after I do all that, my precious looks like this.
HAHAHA... oh wait a min.. I don't think I'm suppose to laugh. So.. uhmm.. HMPH!!!
And up close and personal.It looks like.. like.. like... uhmm.. the taliban thingy haha.
HAHAHAHAHA... Look at the comic. Like.. WTF?!? Why the guy likes to smell the other guy's fart?? HAHAHAHAHA...Ok.. on second thought... my precious doesn't look one bit like that. I think it just looks like it has a cold and I'm keeping it warm by doing that. Just like having a scarf on a person to keep their necks warm.
Awww.. look what I found. I think I remember her as one of the many mice who helped Cinderella make her dress or something haha.Ok.. wait a minute. Come to think of it, I think I'm just imagining things too much. I did what I had to do to be able to at least practice at night. And if that meant making my precious look a bit uhh.. silly and ugly.. so be it.
My precious won't be fussy. It's not like Stewie's camera, it's a she. And SHE WEARS A TUTU!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA... she wears a freaking tutu!! Ooooh.. that would not do any good to Stewie, coz he is a confident man. And I've confirmed with him. He says he's confident but not macho, but.. with his camera who wears a tutu? Would it be any harm to his confidence?? *Gasp*
But still... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
*kept laughing until I accidentally fell asleep*

Well, I guess every it's the sacrifice us musicians have to make due to our love for music...
My fingers have been blistered a couple of times due to excessive plucking on my bass guitar...
So I understand your pain lor...
Hey, why not wrap a cloth around the mouth of the trumpet?
Hahahahahaha...
terence: thanks very much. i think i need all the luck i can get.
porcupine: yeah i can play bass or guitar wtf.. too painful for my fingers hahaha.
You know what they say when you have a sore at the fulcrum...

I only know the piano *trying very hard to fit in*
geek @ kedai.tv: hahaha... i had to go wikipedia to see what you were talking about. But fulcrum is for percussionists what..about their grip and stuff.
