All Together Now... At Last...

for the first time, the members of the new line-up (Me, Apple, Ralph, Rene and Jann Paul) all showed up for practice...



regretfully, i wasn't able to use the opportunity to whip this line-up to shape thanks to my idea of having both Candyaudioline and Soft Pillow Kisses share the same practice slot... still we had a blast courtesy of my Candy mates who i think were all born with a natural tendency towards Lunacy...

During the Pillow practice session, i noticed a few things that have to be taken into consideration... 1st is how the past few successive practice session have helped Jann Paul get back to form... i remember during the recording sessions last month as to how he was having a very difficult time playing the songs... now he was playing them with ease... just hope that with these practice sessions, he'd improve more specially on the more upbeat songs where he usually have a hard time executing them at the right speed... Rene on the other hand is more relaxed and credits this to Jann Paul's steadiness... this is a good thing and give the songs more consistency and definition... Apple on the otherhand obviously needs to practice more and regularly... Rene noticed that she seems to forget the proper executions specially after weeks of being inactive... well actually she has already told me that she have some sort of a memory problem ever since she was involved in an accident not so long ago... i also noticed something about the way she sings... there's something wrong with the way she anticipates each line... this is mainly due to her having a hard time memorising them, this affects the way she sings making her sing awkwardly at times... this can still be corrected i think... As for Ralph, i guess he's suffering from info-overload but he'll get the hang of it very soon... also he still has to learn the right sound for each song... still we all are very pleased with him... he even impressed us all by learning 1 song (Just Like The Sky) in just 30 minutes...



as for me, i guess i'm really getting old...
