The Promise had the first ever gig today.

I don't mind putting in the hours to learn and memorize a piece, staying back to practice with the group, and exhausting the voice and breathing mechanisms. I really don't.

But waking up early? Yeah, I friggin' mind that. A LOT.

That's what I had to do this morning. I'm not an early riser (I don't do sun salutations anymore), mainly because it's difficult for me to go to be before midnight (which is only 9.00PM in Malaysia) every night. I'm still operating on Malaysian time. (Excuses, excuses...)

But that's not the point of this post.

We sang at Macquarie College... which turned out to be a high school. In Britain, Canada, and now Australia, the term "college" is applied to private secondary schools. Funny, eh?

Our performance went better than we had expected. It was our very first one, which means we had to learn new pieces in a relatively short time. I think most of us, with slower memory, crammed last night. I did.

And thank God we didn't screw any of the song up. Well, at least not obvious screw ups.

I had lots of fun. And the guys (and girls) I'm singing with are great! Some of them are really crazy though. I'm looking forward to more performances this year!
