T1W10 Adventures of 2046 (10)

It was a rest day for 2046 as we had caught the mass flu bug. Even though we were in repose, we still planned practices for our instruments and research for the upcoming school project. I felt light headed, so we were talking nebulously. The doctor gave us some medicine and reminded us that we had to be abstemious when we were eating. We did not listen to his advice, but still act as if there was no disparity and continued to eat omnivorously. Whenever it came to food, we would seem to recover instantly.

While searching on the internet, I found a new hobby - assembling model aeroplanes and cars. To be continued..

T1W9 Adventures of 2046 (9)

Initially we were pretty worried over the costs to attend so many courses and to put on dental braces. We were relieved to know that our company would underwrite the full costs as it was written in the contract that the company was to pay any course fees they required us to attend.

Dance lessons started, and three of us are coping fairly well as we have had more or less some experience in dance. Taroko could not catch up in some parts of dance as she have not had any experience in it at all, so the teacher was extremely harsh on her. The dance teacher told her bluntly that if she does not put in double the effort she would soon lag far behind us, and not be able to catch up easily. She was quite sad after being lectured, so three of us treated her to a meal at Subway, though not exactly sumptuous because we could not afford too expensive meals. Though it was not a expensive meal, we could see that Taroko really appreciated our gesture.

Sometimes, things got so busy that when we finally had time to sit at the attic and talk our hearts out to reminisce into the past, we will have a feeling of nostalgia. Thinking back, where we could spend time with our parents, siblings and play computer games everyday, it was totally different from now! Though we may miss the pass, but it would be mendacious if i said we did not enjoy our lives now. As youths, being able to learn so many new things which our peers would most likely not the chance to, was a big privilege.

Through months of intensive training and increased to music, it awoken the latent talent for music we have. Unleashing this talent we were given, we proved that it was not only veneer understanding and ability we had towards music. Even so, this would not come true if we did not have dreams. Only with dreams, we are great. Deciding on the style our band's music will go, we modified some areas of our instruments we had just started to learn in order to accommodate the changes.

I learnt drums when I was younger, so the company decided to let me learn bass guitar, which complements drums because it improves the player's tempo and groove. Taroko had learnt the flute earlier, but it was not of such a relevant link to a band's style, so the company assigned her to learn the electric guitar. Chiro, with her ability to play the acoustic guitar, was asked to learn the electric guitar as she would pick it up easier with her fundamentals in guitar. As for Sasuke, she was asked to attend lessons on the bass guitar because of her talent in music, and the lack of a bass guitarist in the band. In addition to that, a myriad of lessons were assigned to us-hip hop, etiquette class, dressing and also a makeover.

We were given a makeover in order to make ourselves more presentable. A haircut was unavoidable, followed by a change in dressing style. Only i was asked to put on braces as my teeth were too messy and there was a need to straighten my teeth.

Dressed smartly, we entered the famous composer's room. We were told to address the composer by the name of Terry. After getting to know four of us better, we were sent to a different room each, where we went through manifold tests to get an analysis on our vocals, stamina and lung capacity. We were also given checks on our throat to make sure our throats were functioning healthily. While reading out detailed voice and body reports, he concocted a different plan for each of us. He also assigned two instruments for us and some vocal lessons to allow us to grasp the skills on singing. He explained the components about each of out voices, and how the four of us could combine to create beautiful songs. Terry was extremely resourceful, within a few short months of training, we have more of less shown improvement.

Now, we could go into the recording studio and record a trial version of our singing to see how much we have improved. Terry gave consummate attention to our weakness and strengths while singing, and re evaluated his earlier plan and we were to undergo another phase of intensive music and skill training.
