Dissolved Resolve Renewed Recluse

February 16, 2009 at 12:58 am (Uncategorized)

I’m back from a jouney thru the annals of my old blog. 

And I’ve realised the need to blog or at least find a way to plant little checkpoints in my life so that when I look back, I can see how far I’ve grown or fallen behind.

Because of my apathy, the resulting hiatus from blogging has left me clueless as to what life has taught me since May 07, TWO FREAKING YEARS have passed and I’ve let them slip by undocumented. I wish my memory was more easily subjugated.

And guess what.. two years later, I’m about to ORD. If you put two and two together, it was probably national service that broke my momentum. But if I remember correctly, I was a very optimistic and positive person, and he wouldn’t want me recklessly blaming things outside the Circle of Influence for the attitudes in my head.

I should probably leave the recollections for another post. Even with the finiest archeology, it might take some time to sieve through the dusty fog of memories.

Meanwhile…

I have a huge opportunity that recently unceremoniously presented itself a few nights ago. Lest I unnecessarily rarify the situation, it’s not a girl. However, it does affect my life at least 4 years down. 

What would I give up to be a producer? To be involved in the wonderful world of the music industry. To help in this new company that a friend is helming. To be able to mingle with people who love and create music, as a job! There are a few he has gathered for his crew, and for the role of producer, he decided that I had the potential to do it. Which means I can be called a ‘founder’. Well, a person with 10 years industry experience would definately be a better candidate, but such a person would demand exorbitant wages.

The inadequacies. To begin with. I have ZERO experience in the music industry. Friend has given be a handy book all about the industry to digest. This might give me a better insight. Musical virtuosity is out of the question as well. There are tonnes out there who are ridiculously better than I am in terms of composing and hearing. Administratively, well, the shoddy state of this blog is testiment to my admin skills.

So in this case, I actually have nothing to lose. Only the years that I could have spent wilding away in a university quad or the starting pay I could have gotten in an entry-level position in another company. 

Family. Taking this up would mean that it will be difficult to meet up with my family because they will be all over the world. I can’t believe that it’s happening so soon. Skype will be very important to the Foo Family then. Really praying that we can still stick together in spirit despite the difference in location. I guess the weakest link would be me as I tend to be a little less emotionally attached. Not to mentioned lazy and easily distracted. And when I realise that it’s too late, I’ll just end up making empty resolutions. 

Man, I miss the carefree days.

I think it’s time to bring them back!
