Working

Working does not need to be toilsome whatever tat word is.
But when work is really fun, It is pure.. Joy!!! to work.

I did one week of classes teaching drums. It is really exciting, but it does include very boring stuff, like arranging make up classes for students who can't come and collecting the fees.. headache for me. I really can't do admin stuff.
But look on the bright side! I get to see many many people young and old, tall and short.. all interested in playing drums. And i get to share teaching experiences and the funny tales with other full time staff.

I am now thinking back to the times when i got this admin job in office.. When i get loads of things that are not challenging... boring actually and had to face rejection from fellow workers who felt i was slacking too much... Gossip behind my back.. long working hours.. Shivers.. oh man.. i don't want to think about it. (deleting...)

I love to go to church. Because i just feel excited, maybe it is the friends in church, maybe it is God. But, there are so many troubles that seem to muddle this excitement and i leave church worried for the rest of my days.

God, i don't want to be in Sunday "Religious" meetings anymore. Bind this religious spirit and cast it far outside of church. Many many people say pastor lau is not a good pastor. I pray for Pastor lau and is still praying, God put her here for a reason.
Perhaps i have been warned.. not to speak bad things about Church and Pastor.. We are all humans. we have flaws.
I know why God you don't want to talk now. You want me to understand many many things and many heaven principles before you can give me an answer to my question.
If you talk now, i might not understand why and i will ask more Whys.
Just like a child begging to know about the concept of sexual reproduction.

This world made many many people into practical humans. Me too. It is the sciences that set the rules. I pray for Faith to erase all these rules. Then again, Faith and Science Coexist.. I won't see Faith if science makes all things possible.

Troubled kid down here God. Give me some lessons that i can practice.
God, if hardened claypots cannot be moulded into a pilaster, mould the clay and cement that are still fresh... the claypot can be a great decoration indoors.

Legs feel like jelly

Another song i watched a million times.
You tube hits 115,255 views to date, i might have contributed 5%. LOL

Its Vinnie Colaiuta again!!! XD



WOW!!! Man!!!
I want to do it like he does.

I remember when i was still teen at sec 3, i wanted to play like that one day.
That was when i copied my traditional grip just like vinnie. Not steve Gadd or Dave Weckl's but vinnie's.. difference is at the angle.
You know monkey see monkey do.

First thing i rewind this section at 3:00 to watch how that traditional grip.
And copied it. Index finger operated:

Ok.. Rewind.. at 2:44.. a nice fill i like. Swis triplet + swiss triplet add 2 stroke + Swiss triplet add 5 strokes in 16ths.

Let me continue to stare at this thing for a while more and learn many many things books cannot see.

...Sday would be fine

Short of money.

So i pray that i will get whatever i can get.

So I need to run more to get the 400 dollars from IPPT Gold award.
Seriously, if i run fast enough, i can help to deliver Mac by foot.
Still continue to train my stroks fast enough to get 100 from christmas bonus.

Sounds exciting, but it is gruesome, yet i like it ?!

Sting is my Favourite band.
Seven days from the album Ten Summoner's tale.

Splashing away is my favourite drummer, Vinnie Colaiuta,
No he is not a fish.
Simple song to learn the days of the week LOL!

Small happenings

Dear Monday,

How are you? Have you cleared your wardrobe of all those blue dress? Anyway, i had a great time teaching drums at MDS. I wished you had stayed longer.

Mr Polyrhythm visited me while i was in the practice room. I welcomed him and served him a cup of metronome at 70bpm. The kids can't stop running around the mat, well they were all over the place.

My Polyrhythm told me to use 5 chocolate sweets to make them settle down. But i seem to have the sweets all over the place too. So i picked up 2 to eat and they eat the rest.

I asked if i could try 7 more. But i can't seem to stuff them into the cup of metronome. So i break them up to 3 to eat and then i got it in after a few tries.

I wasn't content so i asked if i could have 9. I am clever this time, i straight away got 4 to eat and they eat the rest.

Well, that was really a secret revealed by Mr polyrhythm. The neighbours were hearing rumours that the odds could not be controlled by the Evens. Well the trick is, get the Evens to eat and they eat the rest.

I plea to know the other secret about riding on the track of a Mr Polyrhythm. But i think He can't seem to handle it himself, he suggested that i go look for the Uncle Metricmodulation. I said ok.

And then mp3 boy let me hear this song by Greg Mathieson, there Vinnie showed me how Uncle Metricmodulation looks like. I figured from assumption that i have to call out the Evens when the Odds are running steadily.

I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours In-Sane-cerely,
Harry. XD
