NPV, the next BIG thing.

Today was exceptionally, strangely, unexpectedly, FUN.

It all started.......
When i met Nat, at the habour front bus terminal at about 1130pm....
After walking round vivo for about 5 mins, we settled down for a little meal at the King of the Burgers, or better known as Burger King. I ate this Hersey's chocolate pie thing and barley (oh no i didn't eat barley, barley was my drink..) , while nat ate onion rings with ice milo.

Than after that we finished eating and than walked around somemore, went into a few shops like pull and bear, esprit, topshop and blah blah blah... But we always came out empty handed. =) Wondering if we had good self control? nah, we just didnt have money..... heheh.

Alright so at about 1.30pm we returned to church, sat on the office couch, listened to some music, while not to mention, embarrassing ourselves in the process by talking VERY LOUDLY because we couldnt hear ourselves. Oh well, it was all done in good will, and fun.

After waiting for what seemed like an eternity..... It was finally 2pm.
Just after 2pm, we than received a call from Mervin to head down to the studio because he was already there. We excitedly left the building and went to the studio.

At first, things were a bit you know static, very stale because everyone was like adjusting to the whole jamming, expressing-your-self-on-instrument, thing. But after Mervin and Willie left, we went absolutely, NUTS. Maybe it was because of the pressure of 2 great, phenomenal players that we didnt dare do anything...

To be honest, i thought when we jammed it was gonna be boring and Nat would get left out, but lo and behold, the exact opposite happened! We jammed most bonkers-ly (in a good way, of course...) and nat was SO involved. From oldies like shi-boom shi-boom,to the electrifying sound of coldplay's clocks. We jammed alright. We even recorded always various times using each others phone and what was cool was that our positions in the 'band' changed quite constantly, like nat would sometimes play the piano or sing, and....we took turns i guess to produce the best sound possible for the 'band'. Oh and the 'band' i am referring to is THE NEXT BIG THING CALLED, NPV (which basically stands for Nat,Pris,Vera.) How cool is that right? Oh yeah, cool alright.

Oh and than, what was even cooler was that me and nat being the 'main songwriters' of the 'band', we changed the lyrics to clocks. Interesting really, it is. You should hear it, in fact you shall.
