No. I'm certain this is it.

Over the past few days I've been brimming with energy. Not in the physical sense, though.

I've been brimming with this certain drive to compose and play music.

And I think it all fired up after the French-Speakers' reunion on the 23rd of May. Or after my lunch meet with Patrick K. I'm not sure. But meeting people with a similar passion has given me the drive, the courage to continue doing what I love, and what I do best.

First, a composition out of the blue (which I'm currently codenaming Impromptu 5.30, or Impromptu Cinq Trente), then a set of completely revamped versions of Malaysian patriotic songs, and now, a heart-wrenching rendition of La Marseillaise !

I'm beginning to feel like a musical powerhouse. At this age, it's just a wonderful feeling. It's wonderful when God puts ideas into your mind, from even the most elusive and most insignificant of things - and that's how it is with me. I'm constantly being inspired. Right now I'm working on La Marseillaise and I'm not sure how to stuff my ideas up here for everyone to give feedback. Then again, it's one of those things which eases my worries over the examinations and National Service I've managed to gather screenshots of my OneNote file. Click on the thumbnails to see what I've gathered for now. Not sure if you might understand, but try to imagine it. First off, I'll have to provide a link to... well, somewhere where everyone can listen to La Marseillaise...

In their respective order : 1) Introduction and first line, 2) A cappella fourth verse, and 3) Bridge and children's verse.

There. Wonder what people might think about La Marseillaise now that it's all covered in gibberish and technicalities. Wish I could find a clearer way to demonstrate these ideas to the general public... :-(

I wonder if I'll ever be the same powerhouse again after I complete my NS stint. Maybe I still will be - maybe I'll have different stories to tell, in different tones. All in all, I have one goal - to touch people's hearts. And deep down in my heart, I believe I'm on my way.

EDIT (2009.06.01) : I was thinking long and hard about this - if I get a laptop, with a functional soundcard, recording capabilities and a webcam, I could go a step further by putting videos up, instead of having to redirect you to a totally different page. And right now, I don't want to do any redirects.
