Fare Thee Well...

"Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."
-Richard Bach-


Its 8.30am, the fourth of October 2007. 2mrw afternoon at 3pm, Andrew, Big Joe will get on an air plane and leave for U.K, most probably for good. He'll b goin there to further his studies, as well as to try n start a new life there, with a new career once he's done studying. It'll b a major lost, not just for Aunty Mable's, but in our lives as well... We had our last gathering n jammin as a band last sunday. It was a super emo moment.

I, Keith n Andrew have been playing together in a band since the begining of 2003. We were the first of Aunty Mable's. Of course our band was called somethin else that time. We had some good times together off n on the band. Andrew's not juz a member of Aunty Mable's, but a close friend. Replacing his position in the band is going to b really difficult, although we've already got a couple of bassist who want to play with us. We'll b auditioning them in these few weeks.

We've got a month for our new bassist to learn everything, as we've got loadsa private gigs in Nov. Of course even once we get a new basist, he'll never b able to take over Big Joe's position fully. He'll b a new Aunty Mable. He can never b the big bear... hehehe... His family threw him a farewell prayer meeting cum dinner at his place last night. It was the last time the whole band got to see him before he leaves, as they cant get off work to send him off at the airport. I'm still trying to get out of work to b there. Hopefully i can. Oh man, feel damn emo now...

Anywayz, juz wanna say, We love you, bro! Gonna miss you like hell! I'm gonna miss dissin' ya... hahaha... Seriously, gonna miss your company. Was sittin' with keith the other day n going back on events that we performed together, damn!! Well, i'll let the pictures below do the talking for me.

Adios ma' bassist, ma' fren, ma' brother... Till' we meet again!!
