habit, not choice.

so finally been tuning my pedals. able to keep a pretty respectable constant beat, however my left pedal rest is slightly higher than normal. made my left beater closer to the skin to counter the extra rotation force produced by the shaft bar of the slave pedal, and also the left and right beaters are now 8cm/10cm respectively away frm bass skin and im thinking on adding weights to the left beater to compensate the distance.

now trying to learn heel toe technique (rocking motion), seen it done before. its sick, being able to acheive insane speeds with a single pedal. seen numerous videos and yes, its harder than it seems, much harder. one day i hope.

band's been pretty dead lately, everyone with work and all. but i guess we're all improving as the days go by. hoping to have a gig or two soon during the holidays, its been awhile. its also been quite funny lately, class mentor has organised a compulsory class outing due to our unbelievable inactivity and what a better time to organise it than in the middle of a week day. there goes one totally wasted day.

no offence, but i find most molecular bio students a bore (lol). its like they have no life whatsoever (ok thats not really true, but come on, you know it too). i should have gone to some other course, eg. mass com. i think i'd be more confortable there than now, where everything is based on how many hours you put in to memorising crap ,rather than actual brain creativity and hmm IQ ,which plays no part whatsoever.

it just saddens me that there seems to be an increase or people without a mind of their own, whereby everything depends on the people around them. its exactly what my uncle wrote on my wall a long time ago, quoting his writing "habit not choice, governs the undeciding herd". how true.

you have a personality, a unique one (hence the word personality. show it. we are all special, created for a purpose. why cant we all just be true to ourselves. there will be people who will love you for who you are. so start living out your life, and not how you think people want you to live your life.

anyway, been feeling very weak the past few days, dont know what wrong. sometimes everything gets pixelated and stuff, weird. anyway, need to start a proper eating habit and diet too. been eating way too much gunk (good junk) late at night.

one more thing that gets on my nerves is that the mall across the road, its under going renovation. they thave taken out coffee bean, kfc, watsons, ect. and i cant believeit, they better not replace it with those stupid budget stores man. i have no idea what they are doing to the place, but so far it appears totally screwed up. first the take away all the good stuff, then they replace it with useless stuff like some mama store (hopefully not).
well at least macs and fairprice is still there.

my apologies if anyone got offended in anyway, but im not good with expressing myself with words. its getting late and im starting to think all weird now. so thats all for today. ill try to post more often. cheers :)
