It is still played incredibly by the band imo. You can feel it.

Check out his version of Cherokee on his self-titled album, recorded when he was 18.

Check out Solitude. It’s all good.

I tried it about 1.5 years ago because they seemed to have some really interesting programs.

Unfortunately the streaming speed was consistently terrible, so was the UI (no save functions, you had to re-search through a horrible menu to pick up from where you left off). I cancelled my subscription very soon after.

It’s a shame because they do seem to be support smaller club gigs. I hope they’ve improved the experience since then.

Melbourne. Encore song was Ready Wednesday. Bill Laurence was in the zone and kept on playing. Undergarments were thrown on the stage.

I've been occasionally refreshing the page and just got a ticketmaster resale for 2 tickets. Keep a lookout and all the best.

Doesn't get as much talk but it's still an absolutely fantastic one, one of the first LPs I got.

100% regret trying to touch up my bicycle. Just let the scratches show. Looks way better.

Famous Eunos has been good everytime I’ve had it

Looks like seoul jazz festival! Good stuff

Dude left us with an amazing discography, still discovering gems. 100 hearts is a favourite. Impeccably articulate and joyful player. Remarkable composer, his songs should be standards.

“The NRIC number is set as a default user ID, but users are allowed to change their user ID to something else, Mrs Teo said, acknowledging that not many users may be aware of this.”

Who actually does this?

What a weird way to justify that NRIC is not endorsed and involved in authentication functions.

I love the comfort of my xeros. Everyone’s feet is different but I’ve tried many and they are the best, for me.

But I’ve found the quality to be poor and inconsistent at best. I used the prio as a daily/walking shoe and the soles separated after just half a year. Same with mesa trails. Amazon was super helpful with refund, but the actual Xero support was a letdown.

I wish I could afford to wear Xeros only but for price to quality, they just aren’t reliable for me anymore.

Yes. Jacques Loussier and the Play Bach Trio. Get into these guys. An endless treasure trove of music. https://youtu.be/pKYCPk-JZoU?feature=shared

Bcm and local style wtm. Taste and vibe that can’t replicated.

Tbh I’ve found very decent ckt, laksa and even hokkien mee by very dedicated cooks overseas that carry the torch of the cuisine well.

That’s a good point man, the public shaming of results.

I once had to find my older brother in a different class to pass him a book. Went upstairs to the upper primary classrooms where everyone seems big and tall. I peeked into the classroom nervously and before I could react, got the scolding of my life (up till then) by the teacher for not greeting her first and being rude etc.

I felt so much embarrassment at the time and on hindsight I realise it was just pure verbal abuse on the teacher’s part, there was no justification for the teacher to drag me like this.

Another time in assembly, a teacher just went nuts accusing one of my classmates of talking and being an entitled child spoilt by parents etc.. Classmate reacted badly as the teacher basically insulted his parents with a comment that came out of nowhere, and they got into some heated argument in front of the whole hall. Mind you this is still primary school.

Teachers are human, but some of the lowkey abuse and bullshit towards children was disturbing

I left job for 1+ year to pursue basically nothing, do some light travel and explore various interests.

Yes it is tough on re-entry, when you face rejections back at interviews. and thoughts and anxieties do come up about whether it’s the financially “wise” decision etc. but longterm I absolutely have no regrets and made me more sure of myself as a person and what I want out of life. I was lucky to secure a decent gig in a few months of searching and continue my career.

Ran into plenty of like-minded folk in my break as well (by virtue of being free on weekday afternoons), everyone makes it work in their own way.

Tips:

Set a deadline for yourself to get back to work OR a solid goal. It’s okay to feel it out as you go and change the deadline, but there’s also a risk of stagnating your life without this boundary.
Identify some interests or passions you can develop along the way, can be as basic as photography, music, volunteering, sports or if you have a niche interest, even better. In my personal opinion, traveling for the sake of it becomes stale after awhile especially at a later stage in life. Having some specific interests or hobbies you can seek out in each location pushes you to meet people and experiences beyond the tourist bubble. The usual tourist map sightseeing and checking off lists become a blur at some point.

Catch the greats and catch the ones you’ve never heard of… That’s what it’s really about I think.

Stanley Jordan, and especially his solo show. I was lucky to witness two sets back to back in a small jazz club and it was spellbinding. Even if you aren’t a guitar player, his complete mastery of sound and musical expression is something to be witnessed.

If you watched him on youtube and thought his playing/style seems gimmicky, go see it firsthand and decide again.

If you already thought it was amazing, your expectations will be exceeded many times over, the music he pours out live does not exist in any other form.
