Sorrysorrysorry for not updating Raeville. I recently returned from Music Camp, which ran from Sunday to Tuesday. Nommy and I went, and boy did we have some fun.
Music Camp was all right, I suppose. Nom reckoned it was way better than school, as she said it was soooo boring and completely pointless. I had to go for Jazz Band practice for the upcoming Family Evening on the 2nd of December. Most of the time I found myself sitting on my bed listening to podcasts and fiddling with my guitar.
I fiddled with my guitar so much to the point where I just couldn't hold onto a simple C chord properly. My fingers were literally suffering. The skin on the tips of my fingers were peeling off and my left hand kept going into locks. It really hurt, but I kept playing. I think music camp has really opened up my musical interest into a broader perspective. I was thinking about music and my interests that lie in the field, and I realised that I really enjoyed playing music. I really did. I'm even considering starting the alto saxaphone again.
Jude had to leave us on Tuesday morning, for reasons I will not mention because I know how much it means to her and I just don't want to fsck it up. So I won't see her till next year. I miss her so much. Too much. I just cried when I came back from camp and saw her room all packed up and empty. I sneaked a blog entry on Jude's blog. Heads up for "Dear Jude".
I have learnt to accept people for who they are, and to find good in them. When Jude cut her hair, I felt quite unhappy. Mainly because she didn't look good in a guy's haircut. But then I realised, I shouldn't look at negative points. I should look at good points! And so, I thought, 'If she looks like that, then I wouldn't look twice as ridiculous wearing guy clothes.' Obviously, to match her haircut she would have to wear guys clothes, right?
I might have been too hooked on that Follow Your Heart book that Jude borrowed/lent to me.
I think this entry has been too chin chai bo cha, so I'm going to stop now and continue reading my book.
Cheers.
