so much for productivity. brain juices are so not flowing. hennyways. what i love about this layout is that it makes me wanna bold some stuff and make other stuff big. mainly cos i think itll look nice with the design lah. but oh well. yes its the 30th today. how time flies. one year ago i was dying from As. we all were.
anyways. cant believe it either, but im actually missing auntie lay. whos auntie lay? shes this musician/composer person who's in singapore to work and gain a living, i guess. she comes and helps clean, cook, look after isabelle on a daily basis. and no, im not missing her just because shes the one who keeps the place clean and makes sure that the stuff that my mum plans actually gets cooked. she's currently back in myanmar to attend her daughter's wedding. you'd think that the people in myanmar would be really affected by you know, all the stuff that's been going on recently.. but no. when i did ask her, she was like.. you know, we just try to keep outta their way, life pretty much goes on as per normal. yeah well. actually i was thinking. damn. that is way cool. i get to see firsthand the happenings of history, you know. like the migration of musicians and stuff out of the oppressive place and stuff? but no. she seems quite contented and happy the way things are. or maybe she isnt talking about all that stuff. she just wants to set up some kinda music business here and all, cos of the considerable population of myanmar people here. not because she finds that having to submit compositions to some board very restrictive. i dunno. i would. find it restrictive, that is.
you know. i always wonder when i hear/see people say music is my life. or variations along that line. i remember one post where i was saying something about music is life, chemistry is life, or something like that..? but to say that music is your life. youre willing to give up everything for it? something like that? auntie lay is like the person (that ive met) who comes the closest to actually living this out. i mean like, she has a job. she could be just like sitting in her village composing or doing whatever it is that she used to do. what is she doing cleaning up my mess? i dunno. helping other music people get out of the country? set up her music business thingy? when she says something like, i dont mind not eating, not working, just to make/write music, i actually believe that when push comes to shove she might actually do it. you can imagine her doing it. theres this touch of truth/reality to it. does this even make sense?
oh god. this is bad. im making this sound like an eulogy for a person who'll only be gone for a week. yerah. i should really stop here. anyways. anybody who would like to collaborate with myanmar musicians and stuff, let me know yeah. theyll be welcoming of more people, im sure.
