I bought a new wallet. This one has a tab to attach a lanyard to and was on sale so I bought it. Haven't found the old one yet.

Exams are over! for now. Midterms this term were mixed. As always bad grammar on the professors end was sadly the hardest part of some tests. I should know the results within the next couple weeks. This last week was not supposed to be a break, but ended up as one. Both professors and students were absent all week. The unofficial end to the midterm break is set for this Monday (I assume). In the next couple weeks most of this semester's term projects will be turned in, then we'll wait to start final exams in mid-December.

I was at Por's house yesterday when Fam from Potato called me. Fam told me he had talked to a concert promoter from Singapore about our band. I thought he kidding but he wasn't... "Bubble" the concert promoter and manager called me and talked about meeting up to take pictures of our band. She would send the pictures to her boss in Singapore and discuss flying us to audition there. If we got the job we would be opening for the former top ten Thai-pop band Senorita at Thai music venues in Singapore and Malaysia. Apparently there is quite a demand for Thai music there. We'll take pictures together this week and talk about details with Bubble.

Nothing is for sure yet but there is a chance this would mean missing some school. If the five of us went it would likely mean missing a couple weeks of school. This brings up a bit of a moral dilemma for me. Since my freshman year of high school I have been repeatedly cautioned about my family's history of taking time off of school to pursue other interests intending to return to school. At the moment I see this as a wonderful opportunity. Normally only the top few bands in Thailand get an invite to play in another county. If it's not more than a few weeks, I will try to work out something with my professors and fly back in time for exams. One great thing is that it would only be a short flight back and forth (3000 baht round trip) which would be covered in our expenses. In the next couple of days we're planning on sitting down for a meeting about what we want to accomplish together. Gob, Bank, and Boat are going to graduate after this term ends. Por and I have only a year left.

I'm trying to keep myself from getting too excited right now. There's a good chance things just might not happen. If we don't get the job, oh well, keep working towards finding jobs closer to home.

Yesterday I went and saw Oppatikka, the mega budget Thai action film which has gotten insane amounts of publicity. Bad bad film. Bad graphics, bad acting, and a terrible story. Please don't go to see it. Not worth the money.
