date : 30th January 2011 time : 2354hrs Assalamualaikum~ When I was younger, I've always wanted be a soccer player when I grow up.. Playing for Manchester United was my big dream.. I worked my way through - I played for my primary school team, took part in inter-class tournaments during secondary.. but then, effort went down the drain after I broke my leg when I was in Sec 3 - I was playing soccer with my friends, dribbling the ball from the center of the field right up to the penalty box.. I saw a defender in front charging towards me.. so before I let my opponent gets the ball, I shoot with my eyes close.. the next thing I know, I was on the ground.. I saw the ball was in the goalpost, happiness surrounded me that I scored.. but when I tried to straighten my right leg, there was a great pain on my knee.. when I looked at it, it was not in its normal shape.. The defender that charged me, kicked my leg.. Everyone went panicked and we called for an ambulance.. I underwent a surgery and got my knee casted for 3 months.. 3 screws were placed in my knee to support the joint.. Dreams ; shattered.. Knowing that I can't play soccer anymore and not wanting it to be my profession ever again, I turned to acting.. I joined the ITE Tampines drama group and I also joined external drama production - my first was "Phoenix production".. Acted in a few shows and hosted a few events.. and because of some internal conflicts, I left.. Not me having problems with the management but it was a conflict among themselves that made me leave.. And then I tried musiq.. formed a band with my ITE friends.. got my own Samick bass guitar.. jammed a few sessions.. auditioned for ITE Stardom, well, we didn't make it and the band disbanded.. WTFarq.. Somehow I find musiq interesting.. I continued playing musiq with other bands.. still on my bass.. but I came to realise that we were only playing for fun.. till I met Jimmy who needs a drummer for his band, we were campmates back then.. well, I have some basic drumming skills so I joined "Nightfall" - Jimmy, Jeff, Jon and me.. We jammed, played in gigs and took part in competitions until the day Jon created a "scene".. we disbanded and I followed Jimmy to form up another band.. it also didn't work out well so we went on hiatus till Jeff decided to play with me and Jimmy.. and the three of us are still jamming till today.. we still need a vocalist and a rhythm guitarist to perfect some of our songs.. Anyway, while I was doing musiq, I got involved in drama too.. I joined Theater Peti Karma, did a few shows but it didn't go a long way.. I stick to musiq ah.. haha!  I can't seem to achieve what I wanna be.. WAIT~ At least I'm playing musiq now.. And I thought I will never have a bright future.. well, look, I'm currently employed and I'm earning awesomely, Alhamdulillah~ except that I can't make my dreams come true.. It's ok - keeping myself positive.. These are the people who inspires me to be in the musiq scene.. I want to................  sing like Jared Leto from 30 Seconds to Mars  strum the guitar like Matthew Bellamy from Muse  pluck the bass like Mark Hoppus from Blink 182  farq the drums like the late Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan from Avenged Sevenfold  and be creative with pom-poms like the girl in the picture above.. woooopz~ [ she's my adviser and motivator ;) ] And these are the bands that I wish to play with if I have the opportunity~   Rufio (nothing related to my farqinq ex gf.. I got over her..) Anyway, congrats to my ITE friend, Sudhakar.. he got married yesterday.. And also to my secondary school friend Rahim, who is getting married next month.. And also congratulations to me coz I donno when I will be getting married.. haha~ So I will end my entry here.. Nothing lovey dovey this time.. just sharing random stuffs.. have a great week, everyone~ Yours GEREK-ly, ariffmohamed time : 0139hrs |
