I practised the Richard Clayderman piece, only to find that it exceeded four minutes, and I had a limit of 3'30". I got all worried. Then, I finally remembered : I could shorten Evanescence's "Good Enough" so that it'll hit 3'30". After all, even if it was the least chosen in the previous poll, it's one of the suggestions there.
So I finally made the change - and it stays.
First piece, Huit Vingt-Sept ; second piece, Good Enough.
Meanwhile, my ears are still blocked, and the doctor's giving me one more night to loosen up the blockage. My right auditory canal is hurting like crazy. I have to go see him at 9:00 tomorrow - immediately before I head to Ms Susan's place - to clear it up. I have to !

This whole morning (right up to the afternoon) dad, Narin, Maaji and Bapuji went to Ipoh. Each had their own reasons, but they all got into one car and went up north. I was at home. And guess what I did ?
I turned on my amplifier, turned up the volume, and played the drums for at least two hours !
It was bliss. I wouldn't have the same bliss when dad or anyone else is around. Not only did I get to practise, I managed to heal. That afternoon, it wasn't me holding the sticks and beating out the rhythm. It was Him. That same afternoon, I immersed myself in the rhythm, I just let everything go.
