Wani's kids looked at me and Safiyya in disbelief because all this while we only saw each other via video calls. I brought some printed out coloring sheets for them to do together.
Our condo had an electricity maintenance run yesterday. It was said to go on for about 8 hours. At first, we were thinking of staying over at a hotel. But then, I haven't seen my parents for so long so Shu suggested that we visited them instead.
We talked to Eeno, Rashid and Qarim. Wani and mama were discussing business. My mum said Eeno is set to get married by end of this year. Qarim's wedding is on the way. The whole CMCO and MCO is really messing up Izreen's plans but I told Qarim and my parents that we should do the best we can for her.
The quarantine has really impacted a lot of people I know mentally and emotionally. Especially those who live alone. We realise that as humans, we do need to be around other human beings. This is a lot coming from an introvert like me who's lived most of my life indoors.
Anywho, I was talking to Rashid about getting some drums onto the tracks Shu and I recorded last month. I have a lot of songs unfinished and it's either because they don't have words or I need drums. He was telling me about synchronising when layering vocals and music tracks and maximising the drumbeats on our mixing software.
My dad wanted me to take the Ovation yesterday but I discovered that Rashid still plays with it so I'll probably get it next time when no one plays it anymore. Shu and I are planning to get the drumset sitting in Qarim's bedroom collecting dust. We'll do that someday.
My mum told me she misses having all of us over and making noise. The kids misses being around everyone.
BTW...... My guitar string snapped while I was tuning it a couple of days ago. Shu and I tried fixing the Morrison and his white acoustic guitar's machine heads. It kinda didn't go as planned coz the tuning was still a bit off......... 😑
