alot has happened in the past few weeks. firstly, the quote of the week by my one and only marcus teh

"i get hypothermia when i shower in the morning..."

second to that, when i asked him why he mixes his whipped cream on top of his ice-blended choclate frap, he replies:

"so it wont be so fattening...."

well done. i assure you even though we are blood-related, our intelligence is not, in anyway whatsoever. haa.

finally sent my computer to acer service center, (thanks to santa maria for accompanying me the whole time) and yes, got my stupid cd removed. now heres the funny part.

i was ranting out to the repair guy at how acers suck so bad, and that how stupid it was for acer them to fix a slot optical cd/dvd reader for my laptop instead of the normal vanilla readers... i also went on and on bout how this should be that and that should be blah and then *poott* 2 cds were displayed infront of my face...

apparently, i had somehow subconciously shoved 2 cds into my optical reader thus caused the jam.
how nice.

oh well. at least my optical drive and battery was replaced, at the price of my ego.

been quite a funny week. funny people, funny happenings, funny hardcore punkrock bands, funny marcuses, funny me and funny you.

hip hop wrapper

2006-10-03T20:51:00.000+08:00

okay! got a hold of the videos i was talking about in the previous post pertaining to the hip hop performance.

"ill add the link of the video in my next post when and if the video actually makes it to their website. when that happens, you be the judge."

So, this is part of the actually performance...
...and this is what someone thought of it. Enjoy

got the dimarzio blaze humbucker pickup form simon just recently, and it looks like shit. i think my stock hubuckers look nicer, however like ren said "dont jusge the sound by its looks" i hope you're right.

ok about meeee, i've been going out and going out and... okay nevermind. running out of things to do. singapore sucks. singapore sucks so much thats why its so clean and green. ok not funny. i need to send my laptop to acer soon. like i keep procrastinating. like freaking hell, why cant they have a acer service center here.

oh well. brothers in arms :hells highway is coming out soon and i guess its a must have for all ww2 enthusiasts out there. just praying my specs can support its new generation engine.

what' you waiting for people. start praying

hip hop flop.

2006-09-28T00:33:00.000+08:00

darn tired. todays performance at the orchard library was rather amusing. roulette was up first, and they gave a pretty aiight very rock-influenced performance. Rizman Putra from the band tiramisu was up next, and things started to get interesting. what was supposed to be a 'hip-hop number' soon turned out to be one very very twisted performance. up till now, i still have no clue as to whether it was meant as a joke, or whether it was for real, but whatever it was, he has serious guts to pull off something like that. leaving aside more criticizism, ill add the link of the video in my next post when and if the video actually makes it to their website. when that happens, you be the judge.

here are some random quotes from his act:
1. "...satan..ahhh!..."
2. "...i know you watch porn..."
3. "...brown cow..."
4. "...seventh heaven...satan..."
there were way more funny stuff he said. i just cant quite remember. thankfully.

so anyway, ive been going back to the good'o john petrucci songs and i realised something bout him. for almost all of his songs, if not all, he has 3 basic sections where for now ill refer to them as section A B and C. A and C are usually the guitar friendly melodic sections whereby people get drawn in and are attracted to the music. however, john petrucci and his sick twisted mind had to include section B, which is usually a 3 to 4 mins whereby he throws in everything he has ever learnt since he was baby.

i guess its his evil way of saying "haa... you'll never play this. noob. "

very tempted to upgrade my pickups in the near future, holding on to the oh-so fading hope that my noobness could actually be partially due to my crappy pickups. bah.

any recommendations anyone?

hades

2006-09-27T00:21:00.000+08:00

Finally attempted our 'year old' list of dream theater songs recently and okay, i wouldnt say it was fantastically fantastic, but i would say there was some progress ha. after the routined tracks, we started venturing into the more lounge-like music and it sound sexy. all we need now is to dedicate more time i see great potetial. dohh

The studio we went to was practically shit. starting from the hi hats, which actually sounded pretty awesome, were not working properly. the snare was kinda screwed up with the mesh partially frayed, and their bass was padded beyond padding. the ride was weird, although the cymbals gave a very very nice sounding atmosphere.

just remind me never to go there again...

...and when i say me, i meant we. us. all. everyone.

moving on, yes hady won the singapore idol. "eat that qoo. ha". finally justice in singapore idol, where the better singer actually makes it all the way up and wins, although i would say jonathan does look more like an idol than hady, ha ha. i never actually followed singapore idol (caught less than 4 episodes), however everytime i do, Jacintha Abisheganaden's comments never fails to put me into a hysterical uncontrollable chuckle...

now, if i could just get that cd out of my computer...

skcor ytse jam

2006-09-23T23:29:00.000+08:00

pwoah. checked my results online and yes, i cleared everything so dont have to worry bout that anymore :)
now just hope i can cope with the coming sememster, arg.

also, just got a 30gb ipod video, so i can finally listen to my music on the move once again (stupid mini kept dying on me). now i just need to get back my thousands of songs which are trapped in my dvd which cant be read by my computer right now because there is another cd rw trapped in the cd drive. dang.

ok been tweaking my iron cobras recently and i finally feel some improvement in control. however, i still feel that the right kick (right as in right and left) still needs some adjustment, and that right now (right as in currently i) just cant quite figure out what. also, been playing my 6 string white electric with 0.8 gauge strings and now remember why i was in love with those strings. now i have to find a way how to replace the nines with eights on my 7 string, they just feel so, right (right as in right and wrong ) hurr.

now its time to re-remember ytsejam. (tadada-tadada) x3 (tadada) x5
ok nvm, jokes.

2006-09-20T21:26:00.000+08:00

last few days been pretty good, got to catch up with quite a handful of old friends. i've also been trying to get more active physically (eg. jogging) but boy is my knee not getting any better. so i've been trying to wear the guard when ever possible to prevent any future complications.

my guitar has ~~been sounding more and more shitty and crappy as the days go by~~ not been sounding its optimum lately, and im really considering getting a new set of kick ass pickups. im still not sure whether its just the strings (which are not rusty but are older than the recommended lifespan) or the actual pickups (which are kinda rusting away), however, getting new pickups wont hurt :)

today there was this kid in the pool. making this awful noises (sounds like "oohhHHHH OHhhhhh" with the first being higher than the second) literally throughout the entire afternoon. i was SO tempted to go down, and give tht guy a nice kick in the face. i mean freak, you better shut or one day somebody with my same idea is actually gonna do it. hahaha joke.

anyway, the king

habit, not choice.

2006-09-17T01:42:00.000+08:00

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 :)

hollow day

2006-09-12T00:55:00.000+08:00

the past week has been pretty active and im beginning to get used to life without school and work, which is somthing i know i can get used to, totally.

however... i spent today, or rather most of today sitting on my chair, staring at my computer screen. omg.
why is everyone ( sec, jc and ite) having some form of exam now, when im having my god dammed break.

what makes things worst is that i have a god dammed cd+rw stuck in my laptop. topping that, its not those jacket/tray slides whereby u can press this emergency button and the tray will magically "pop" out . its a freaking slot inside the com, and i cant get it out.

although i have this external reader that im using for the time being before i send my com to acer, it does not read dvds. gg

oh well. thank God for youtube. anyway, here's a pretty nice song from dream theater.

i just love the intro.
heres the original version if you are interested.

now i just need to find tht 70's sunglasses..............

nothing

2006-09-08T00:31:00.000+08:00

so much in my head
but i cant write it down
yet
one thing is for sure
im making this break count.

2006-09-03T23:39:00.000+08:00

had a nice day of rounders and rugby with the youth today. rather shagged and burnt.
just realised that there were a couple of pictures in my phone that was probably taken while it was left with the girls.. grrr.

anyway, if im not mistaken, aaron took this while i was trying on andre's specs, which is like so gay,
or rather, makes me so gay.

(fyi, his degree was high enough to magnify the sunlight and burn my eyes if i had tilted my head any higher upwards. rofl)

then at some point afterwares, my friends and i heard a noise from above us, followed by bits and pieces of tree falling down on us. we gazed upwards and to our amazement, we saw this interesting creature resting on the tree. i quickly grabbed my phone and took a snap of it before if flew away. (lol)

btw, we later learnt that this amazing creature could also do various body contortions and is able to acheieve certain "kung fu" stances. (lol)

later on, after we left, wayne started to drive andrews car (wanye just got his licence, yay). i would say his driving is not bad, dispite his "probably" 14 point parking. ghaha, but i guess he performed pretty well under pressure since i was constantly criticising his driving with every chacne i had ( which was all the time ;p)

now after talking to roula.. im starting to have cravings for haagen daz and bennjerry's all over again, just after getting out of the Intesive Icecream Rehabilitation Centre (damm!) .
oh well. whats life without its simple pleasures.

for all ou fags who have no clue as to what bj's and haagen daz are, eat this you ar-ar-ga-gas
your missing out on life!

(fyi, fyi means for your info, rofl)

gonna sleep now. kinda burnt out both physically and mentally.
so laters all, have a good one and enjoy your holidays!
and for those who dont have their holidays?

too bad ;p

twang

2006-09-01T21:28:00.000+08:00

finally permed my hair (pwoaha ha), yup, and i guess it turned out ok haha, been going out since im finally free from the bondage of sin, nah maybe not. just nyp.

anyway, dang aaron just blew bucks on a guitar extreme makeover with 3 different sweet pickups tht kick ass.
andre blew more bucks too on his new cock. i mean korg ( which is actually a zoom) oh well. lame lah aaron. lol

anyway 2 days down. way more to go. please everyone. if you are bored, i probably am too. so just let me know an we can hang (not literally).

recently, i've come to a conclusion that there are just too many stuck up singaporeans around. its like a bunch of tomatoes walking around with absolutely no eq whatsoever. i know many say that since they are strangers, dont expect them to be all nice and stuff. but yeah, those are a pretty strange bunch of strangers (lol). this clearly disproofs this whole "iq is reversly proportionate with eq" thing.

Anyway here's a poser ( \m/ ) pic. lah.

so ending off. jio me ty.
l8rs!

thursday

2006-08-29T21:18:00.000+08:00

after thurs.

Lost in Johansson

2006-08-24T00:33:00.002+08:00

Ok, Cheryl here u go.

First and foremost, Cheryl claims that there is a girl in Jammers arena that looks Exactly like Scarlett Johannson. OMG Scarlett Johansson, can you believe it?. Well im not going to tell you what we said. but u get the drift. I mean , are you kidding me, Scarlett Johansson. Cheryl you better be right., i sure hope your are. After all your in-depth descriptions, You;re in for it big time if you;re wrong lol.

Anyway, i had this idea long ago, about forming a christian band, with some actuall form of technicality. The tough part is how many Good technical musicians are there actually who;s souls are still unsould to"the one we do not speak of". Damm u.

Anyway, coming back to the REAL world, yes. It is a good 9 days before the fat lady sings. Anyway, the paper i fear the most (Analytical Biochem) will be over and done with in roughly 16 hours. thats something i can start looking forward too i guess. Anyhow, Nyp you suck.

So, GG ppl, i hope i dont wake with more of my hair caught in my braces. Irritating. Maybe i should wear a hairband/shower cap before i sleep. That explains the flying monkey in my dreams that keeps swooping down grabbing a strand of my hair at a time. ouch. just joking.

Its just thursday, calm down

2006-08-21T22:25:00.000+08:00

@!#$$ Exams start tomorrow yay, and what a better way to kick it off with our-much-beloved MBT (Molecular Biology & Techniques), then followed by Analytical Biochemistry, yes...chemistry. Well at least it ends next thurs and ill be a free man (: wait, NEXT THURSDAY? thats like omgawd compared to the other polys.. which ~~ends roughly~~.... nono ENDED.

Yay, so i managed to further improve the appearance of my desktop yay, also the font smoothing (ty Qoo). Also got up the Expose that Mac uses, with its animations and much more (:

Also to all Battlefield 1942 g33ks out there, let me know. Trying to rally up a group to play after my exams WHICH ENDS ON THURS ,God...%$#@$x3. Anyway let me know (: the more the merrier. aha

Ahaha anyway, Ant's been sending loads of vids (ty), some of which i would like to share with you all. Take this insurance ad for example, whoever did this, is one funny guy ahha.

Anyway, im off to my 2 weeks of nothing.
*dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....dont worry its just thurs, dont worry....

But tomorrow never comes.....

2006-08-19T00:26:00.000+08:00

Check this out what time does to your room.

BEFORE:
.

AFTER:

Yes dont worry, Ill clean it, "TOMORROW".

Orgasmic

2006-08-15T20:25:00.000+08:00

I just love bands with a certain degree of Technicality, Dark feel to their music, A Female Lead with Confidence and an Orgasmic Voice, Emo riffs, A Unique Band name, A Female guitist that Solos better than most Male guitarist in this kind of genre.... ahh Ect you get the drift. Anyway, check this out, Ayreon.

Incase u were wondering where was the female guitarist i was refering to above, well its around 3:35. Mind u this is a Live performance and they are almost perfect. Even certain bands sound distubingly constipated ~~Ahem Hoobstank, Linkin Park~~ when they play live.

And um, I kinda lied when i said they had a female lead ahah. Whats fantastic bout this band in their 2004 album " The Human Equation" which is the album im currently listening to... is that their entire album is a story, where different people sing out their various roles in the story. and FYO, Dream Theater's vocalist James Labrie is also singing in this album! His role is.. well.. "me" haha.

This next video kinda sums up my previous paragraph. 10/10 for creativty. The same group of people, a different sound. Fantastic.

Well about myself, nothing much has happened lately, just counting the days left to the holidays. And im also trying to get my noise gate on my multi effects to work so that i can have my high gain yet not having my notes sound like an Uber gay violin. ARG!

Oh yeah i wanted to post this awhile ago but i forgot. i actually strung my 7-string guitar like finally. i wanted to try stringing the fulll string instead of cutting the ends of liike usual. all went well for the first 4 strings i suppose, till i got kinda tired and... ahha... as you can see from the pic below.

So if anyone knows HOW to actually get my noise gate to work. Let me know. Please. thanks. haha.
Have a good one. L8rs

Partir en vacances. s'il vous plaît

2006-08-14T00:20:00.000+08:00

Dear friends. this is a mini post dedicated to all my dear friends living in my humble room.

well.... Saaay Haallllo Too My Litttle Fwend....

Ohhh yeeah..Ooo See that huh?? Ohhh yeeahhhh , Smell that huh?? Yah thats what im talking bout yah. Whos the one afraid now huh?? ooh Sissy.... Now you start running...
Let me show you whos the boss! .. Boo someone's scared now.... scared.. Ooohhh.

And its not just ONE friend. Say hallow to my otherr friends!

So to all. this is just a gentle reminder :) Kindy pack up all your belongings and move to the room directly below mine.

Thank you for your understanding and my sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Have a nice day.

It's A Bird, A Plane, No its Mr Superficial!

2006-08-09T20:39:00.000+08:00

Kinda random post but to bring a change... here goes.

Ok i think its time for me to say some stuff out ive been wanting say to a long time ago and i hope you understand me haha. This is mainly regarding me myself and my religion. Through the years, i've gotten heaps of comments like "hey, why dont you raise your hands when u sing like the rest?" or "dudee..why cant you be more serious bout this and that" ect.. well basically the answer to that would be, "and your point is?"

Firstly, i don't like doing things for the sake of doing it. Ive asked countless people as to why they do certain things in church and the usuall reply i'll get is "i have no idea actually, why'd you ask?" or the just-as-common " i dont know, the rest do it so i guess its the right thing to do?". I may appear rather rebelious to certain people, but trust me, thats not what i want, nor is it an image i want to acheieve. What i really want is to be true to myself and not put up a show infront of others just to prove to them that i am something im not.

Also, about why i dont do certain things the "normal christian" would do.. haha.. is well.. i just wont do things i dont understand yet, or rather, i dont want to do something for the sake of doing it without a purpose. Like they all say: :its the heart that counts., so.. yeah aha.

Recently, i've also come to a disturbing realisation of the vast number for people who put up (in nicer terms) "alternate-fronts" nowadays, all holy, ever-perfect, mature.. (you get the drift), but when placed in the real world, are no different from any other. As many may have said "Hey, only God knows.".. well hell ya.. Only God Knows.

One more thing.
If you cant lead? Dont Lead.
If you cant teach? Dont teach.
I guess its rather simple and yes, dont screw up others like you've done to yourself.

In ending, im sorry for this "un-joyful" post if some of u may have felt it as. I wasnt targeting anyone in particular nor was i targeting at any specific group. its just what ive noticed in the general and i hope you all understand where i am coming from aha.

All similarities to any person or event was purely coincidental.

And to all my friends, Thanks for accepting me for who i am. I Love u all. :) (awww)
Have a good one everybody!

I Just Cant Think Of A Good Title

2006-08-06T21:12:00.000+08:00

Just reformatted my computer at the start of the weekend.
Reason was to get rid of all the unused programmes and games i havent touched ages and hopeflly by doing so, it would magically make my com run faster than it already has.
Well, i did quite get what i was looking for, although now... ive a new set problems (yay). Stuff like my Msn messenger wont log in, so i have to stick with the basic windows messenger. How fashionable lol.

Anyway! as you probably noticed (i hope so ahha), Ive kinda changed the blog skin yay! And i owe it all to Ant! All Thanks goes to Ant ahha, for setting aside her precious time amidst her hetic hectic schedule. tyty lolol yay... and also for Lucida Grande-nizing my blog. Thanks for the DVD stuff and helping me do all the stuff and stuff and also stuff like taking away the unsightly blogspot bar.. blah blah. ahha... Now if i could have a beginning and end to my paperish backbround. hehe... he.. he...

Below is a screenshot of my blogs new skin, and for those who still have yet to see my blog, you can visit it here

Been rather sleepy lately, hopefully its just me and my lack of sleep and not something caused by my not-so healthy diet the past few days. Well like i always tell ppl, "Its all in the mind. If your mind can kill youself, you Definately Can Lose Weight Just By Thinking Of It" or so i wish.

Tired as hell, Gonna hit the sack. Bam. Oww. Ok, maybe the sack wasnt such a good idea, Ill stick to the Bed.

Lucida Grande

2006-08-02T00:08:00.000+08:00

Okay, where to start.

Ok, got my desktop's phenotype appearence customized, emulating Mac OSx Tiger i think and umm it currently looks.. looks pretty much like a mac, However the genotype stays.. ahha... ok basically my com still runs on my Windows OS (Hellooo games).. yeah.. had Qoo help me with quite alot of stuff, thanks Qoo.. btw i still have my linux in my com and ive no idea what to do with it lol.

As u probably noticed, i kept the Windows Toolbar at the top as i find a better use of space as compared to the Mac's Finder bar. But still, the finder's just a button away. Heh.
Also gotten addicted to the Lucida Grande font (Mac Font if im not wrong). Like man tht font seems to fit everywhere. I want my blog to LuGrande-ize, waiting till Ant's free (Ty Ant) and yeah hopefully LG-ize everything else too.

Been practicing guitar lately too.. learning as much classical stuff i can, while i can ( Eg. Malmsteem) and judging from how i play now, i guess its gonna take me more all the time than i can spare, oh well...
yah and Jo.D.Adeth just got his new kick ass pickups (which he waited 13 14 weeks for) rigged into his V guitar, MAN.... ive gotta get mine soon ahha.. anyway, here's his pride and Joy.

Yes i am a g33k. Been playing Battlefield 2 and boy is plane whoring funn.
I Hate, Still hate and will hate all future plane whorers.. but when u become one.. theres no stopping. Vic, heck your A'levels and come help plane whore. Lol jk. maybe not. But arg lol. Come on. Which is more important. Pawning hopeless n000bs or studying for your As??? AHHA, shit.

Anyway, ive got much more to blog bout but im just to tired and Lazy (Lazy Teh! lawl Marc.), so... Ok. Good Night ppl.

Was there future in our past?

Just rearranged my room, took out one 1-seater sofa (lol) and replaced it with another mini bench thingy, well the image is below u can see for urself.. And as u probably can tell im trying to make my whole room as soft as possible. haha
One day it will be virtually impossible to have your self injured in there (hah, i'd wish).. Oh well... i need to get a few more guitar stands for the rusting ones hiding behind my bed tho..

Well, to all my fellow gamers.... BF2142 is coming out soon !! OMG.. YES.. and guess what??? so is my Birthday! What a coincidence right people? HAHA.... Anyway to those people who have absolutely NO idea what im talking about, and are actually interested... Check-check check check check it check it out... ladies and gentlegamers, ~~i bring u~~ EA presents : BATTLEFIELD 2142

Anyway, its been rather disturbing as to what ppl are doing nowadays, (dont wanna go into detail) but its like basically screwing up their lives long term... um.. for those gamers still reading on. let me translate that for u.. it means.." Late game GG". Yah, anyway ahha, Sadded, Ive my braces appt tmr morning.. then prac in the afternoon, Muthebak again for dinner guys?

Adding on... anyone know of a good guitarist or keyboardist, non-bonded to any band or contract? whos influences are mostly prog and neo-classical? i guess not. so nvm. These people are so hard to find these days... Anyway, I better start practicing, getting rusty, and those 1.2.3.4 songs arent going to help me lol. REN!

And as usual, another video from YouTube. This one is rather funny i'd have to say. If my memory still serves me right, i've watched it about 10 times and it still had the same impact on me right through hah. Its seriously hilarious and the guy who did this deserves to be paid for that man. FYI he's only 18 ( according to his profile )

This ones from the same dude.. Only this time he kinda screws Yngwie Malmsteen- one of my fav guitarist.. Man this video is pretty screwed up... funny but so wrong too ahha... and he made Yngwie sound like Arnold.S ahha.. give it a geez.

Anyway...One more thing, Ive seen alot of hypocrisy going on lately ahha and um.. to everyone out there.. let us not judge but instead, treat the other as yourself. (Dad slide me the money) ahha jk, anyway busy day tmr. L8rs ppl. Have a good one.

Eat Your Heart Out

2006-07-24T23:37:00.000+08:00

Ive decided to post some Fab vids of Drum lines...
For this first video. U ppl HAVE to watch it through.ESP THE LAST PART.. its only 6 mins. trusts me it is amazing.... although ive no idea what the chinese guy actually contributed..

For the second. This guy can play the DOUBLE pedals pretty well..HMMM.... I like the shoes and the pedals man... HMMMM... Looks Familiar HA. JK. lol

For the Third,
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, MIKE PORTNOY... Omgomgomg where do i start..He is the one i wanna grow up into.. my number 1 drummer... the one that has greatest influence on me ahhahaahha.. Check out this vid. Its pretty short... Old as u can probably tell... its also when Portnoy still used his Smaller sets (yes his sets get bigger ever year) But its nice.. it kinda shows u what Dream theater is made up of.. and the harmony and stuff ohh yeahhh.... so yeappppp

AND!... Saving the Best for last.... This is ONE of the MANY reasons why you should NVR use a electronic keyboard to substitute drums..
ps. Dont he mak us Asians Proud...

Ohggay.. the past few days been pretty interesting, so lets start from school.. Well, this month seems to be a rather birthday-hectic month, starting with Kiri's then Kw then Jo..... b-l-a-h... Anyway Kahwoon's birthday celebration was a rather unique and memorable one. Well, lets just say Josepth had something installed for KW. To begin, Jo digitially replaced Supermans face with er ahha... KWs face... and Jo also replaced the "S" Logo with the communist logo ( the one with the sickle). I would say it was pretty good, not to mention - funny. Oh well, what made things worst/increasingly hilarious, was that Jo printed it out into a transparency, and projected it up in the lecture hall. Ha..... Even KW's cake had a picture of him digitally inserted together with Chairman Mao and some other dude i have no clue bout..

Well, moving on, Yes.. hope u still remembered what we did in the lab previously. Fire-Ethanol-yes?-no? Well, this time we kinda upped it.
[Reminder: I was ONLY the camera man and had NO part in this, other than suggesting the idea.. recruting my fellow test-men... cheering them on...etc..] Well.. we did quite a few stunts which involvined fire of course. haha.. i managed to record a few.. but im too lazy to post it up here right now.. but i guess the description is good enough aha...
-Think flame thrower. Yes.. Flame thrower.. now.. Down scale it big time.. what do u get? A down scaled Flame thrower...HA-lame.. ok anyway yeah... er. Shit realised its easier to post a vid than to explain the whole thing. Anyway. this vid was the test recording.... the smallest one we did... basically a trial test of what was to follow. Well, i guess u ppl should get the rough idea after watching this short video.

OH well. anyway, Yeah the Best Denki Super store across the road had a closing sale a few days back and yeah baby, i got meself a pretty gggoooOOOODD mouse and two 6" Creative speakers with one 13" sub Woofer. Heh. Thank goodness my floor is all cozy-cusheny-cushioned up or the neighbours are gonna get free music. Ha just kidding.

Ive still been having trouble with the excessive amounts of fluff on the floor. At this rate, i can even carpet my walls and ceiling... I just dont have what it takes to vacuum it every now and then. But i managued to do that day [Really!!] and WOO!!. S'all sweet baby sweet. I even dare to shove my face in its lush-inter-twined-fluffy-cotton-whatever-surface and not worry of never coming out alive. Also, the sofa in my room is finally seatable (Heaps of Hooraayees i hear from my friends??) hahaha... Better enjoy this while u can.. cos from past experiences.... its NEVER remains this state forever.. Or even a couple of weeks in that matter. Oh well...

And another thing, My cousin has a Blog LAWL... i remember him saying all his "omfgwtfbq lololol j00 g0t blog?? whah rofl lmao keke" stuff recently [Sorry Teh ,haha] when i started this blog. and now... hurhurhur.. oh well, i cant blame my influencial powers.. ( OH BHB!) lawl whaha.. anyway.. I've also realised that when u combine a person like me.. and blogs like this, what results is a sudden and step decline in my standard of english. Oh well. Whats there to lose if u aint got anything to lose in the first place! (Another horrayyyee from my friends!) whaha

As u've noticed.. ive been blogging gibberish throughout this post, cos..yes. im trying to bull out a long-er post today. wanna see how it turns out. and see how many actually made it to this point.

So g'day people and remember.
Music pawns the weak in heart.

[Lol, so irrelevent and randomm]

Ha, Caught Pirates yesterday. Was suprised it was more of a comedy based movie.. Always thought it was one of those X-men or SpiderMan movies (Considering i didnt watch the first Pirates).The show was all good, funny.. etc.. However i was kinda disappointed at the ending... actually it wasnt much of an ending. I know the producer wanted people to know that there would be a sequel, but he could have done a better job wrapping the movie up... Oh well...

Baybeats yes.. i missed all 3 days. Dont know what got to me, but i just didnt feel like going. Been kinda larthagic the past few days.. BEEN eating alot, gosh. haha. Thanks to everyone who said ive been putting on weight. I shall start cutting down on my Junk! (YEAH RIGHT im like eating Ben&Js now HA)

Oh well. For all those who havent seen this video. Its a really cool referee.. Ive yet to know whether he's for real. But whatever it is, he's funny. So here goes. haha

Btw i have a friend that wants to sell off his sweet Ibanez S Series with 2 Brand new Dimarzio Humbuckers. Anyone interested let me know. And trust me. Its one heck of a guitar. Btw ive seen it for myself. Its showroom condition. haha

Baa Baa Bad Horsie

Holy man... was searching for Steve Vai videos on Youtube today when i came across this video. Goodness. this had got to the One Of The Coolest Videos ive ever seen in my life. yeah man hahaha... Vai has a very well defined facial structure, and when paired with lots of silver paint... he looks like... Yep u guess it... Steve Vai with lots of Silver paint On his face. Ok Lame. But seriously. He looks like he came from the Terminatior movie while the rest of his band mates looks like they came from Hell. Anyway.. It has a very nice groove. So i guess most of you ppl should be able to appreciate such music. To my fellow friends.. Time to step out of ur chinese music!

Now. If only Dream Theater did that. haha.. Anyway, theres the SCL Kickoff Tournament early tomorrow and i injured my knee recently. Hope they dont give way tmr. Worst come to worst, give way when someone tackles me.. then out he goes.. worth it. Haha.. Btw i wanna see how KW plays tmr with his newly fractured arm. Heh "Play soccer with ur legs not ur hands"... Well, we'll see bout that. Haha

2006-07-13T20:13:00.000+08:00

Hah, was going through my files today and i found my guitar recording i did quite long ago lol. I played the guitar over a backing track found from www.guitarbt.com and yeah just realised that i only recorded the first part of the song and that the guitar was not syncro-ed properly with the track. Oh well.. apart from that, i also realised that many parts of my recording were not accurate to the original. So i decided to post this here and perhaps post more in the near future so i can keep track of my progress haha. And if there are any die-hard John Petrucci fans.. before u throw tht stone, i wanna say ill start practicing harder and hopefully do his songs justice. But for now.. "Giveee meee anotherr chanceeee.. i promiseee" heh. So yup, heres my own outdated verison of JP's Glassgow kiss. haha

&amp;lt;bgsound src="http://www.blogupload.com/76145/GLASSGOW_KISS_EUGENE.wma" loop=infinite&amp;gt;

Well aout my life, Nothing much today anyway, Had lab in sch. BORING!. thats bout it today.. Oh yeah. played 2 games of dota and .. got owned in both.. great. Oh well, Gotta start getting my Double pedals fixed soon.. Ren!!! Btw, anyone knows where to get a good snare at an even better price? let me know haha.. no brand in preference, just a tight pop sound yep...
(Btw, Brian has one of the best sounding set of cymbals ive ever heard... Christ. Christ.. Christ...) Oh well.. hehe...

Another thing. ~~I wonder what Kiri's gonna do with those condoms. IMO, he's prolly gonna go home and reanact the scenes from the 40 Year Old Virgin HAHA..~~
Kiri i hope u liked your presents. Come on ur condoms sure beat my "Making Out In Chinese" book i got from kenny and KW last year HAR HAR HAR. Quote "Ni de shen cai hen mei, Wo xiang geng liao jie ni" hehe

Btw. Thanks ANT once more for helping me out with the HTML stuff! har har. Owe u big time haha...

NIGHTS!

Boring

2006-07-12T22:29:00.000+08:00

Today's a pretty boring day, nth much happened.. i chanced upon this vid Aaron uploaded on YouTube, called Lotus Feet by Steve Vai. Vai is IMHO, the most emotive guitar player ive seen and heard... he practically feels everynote he plays and moves along with it fluently. His licks are also one of the most complexed and creative IMO, so yeah, ladies and gentlemen.. I present to u, Mr Vai.

Btw, Thanks Aaron. I read of the trouble u went through just to get this vid. Well it was very much worth it. So from me and everyone else watching it.. Thanks! hahahah.

The ball that shagged me

2006-07-11T18:29:00.000+08:00

Tired. shagg'in day today lawl. Yay! passed all my modules execpt ABC haha... Which was expected haha.. did the usuall in sch then went to play soccer with the guys. Played and played and played... oh yeah.. just next to us, Victoria was playing against St.Andrews in a hockey game.. i dont know what the final score was, but mid game it was 2-1 in favour of the Vics (Tyco kids L.a.w.l)... Christ.. I pity the Vics as their coach was clearly sent by the Devil... Man.. there was hardly any silence during the game. "Concentrate!!!! Concentrate!!!" Concentrate Your Mothers La.. Your bloody players are W.i.n.n.i.n.g and you're still angry at ur kids.. Goodess

Went back.. took the bus with Kw and Jo.. Haha, Jo and I alighted at HP (He lives there Btw) and i got meself another Dry-fit shirt lol... walked arnd.. got some drinks and hotdogs... then Jo had a brillliant ideaa.. Since its Kiri's Birthday tomorrow.. why not get him a box of condoms.. like okayy haha..
So he walked into Watsons, grabbed a box, paid and left.... THEN HE HELD IT IN HIS HAND WHILE WALKING OUT... WITH ME.. so yeah.. i ran home. hahaha

Mel sent me some pics today from the camp haha.. so just to post a few gay stuff we did.. here goes.

Yeah. and theres the other "beng" ones haha.. Sad attempt tho. i look so diff there.. Got heaps of those "omg u look like a monkey.. or 'ANDi' for those Molecular bio nerds in my class u no-lifers HAHA...

A Monkey? Hai

One more thing. Today in the lab. HAHA we did the "light the fireproof lab bench on fire with ethanol and video tape it while everyone stands around".. We did a couple or patterns ranging from sprials to the satanic star thingy.. Got pretty amusing till (if im not wrong) Jo suggested lighting a beaker with ethanol on fire. YAY.. looked pretty cool. the flames went pretty high haha.. damm its cool. gonna keep thinking of more drastic things to do with lab materials. PPL HELP ME. THINK WITH ME. AND LET ME KNOW. HA. AHA. AHA-HA-HA

So heres the video of the very first attempt. Its a small one.. but u get the idea of what progressed. haha. Im still contemplating putting the more insane vids.. but i Dont wanna give any kids ideas... All mine! mine! Remember. Dont try this at home. Only try this in your labs where u have fire proof tables, Ethanol and friends crazy enough to light the tables on fire. Heh

Haha i promise there will be more to come. Haha

2006-07-10T11:09:00.000+08:00

Woo Aaron my man just passed me the decals for my guitar.. yeah and i realised tht my guitar looks pretty beng.. oh well.. haha... Heres a quick snap i took...

Well. at least you dont see that many 7-strings around. haa
So since my guitar looks beng. I've decided to upload one of my many 'beng attempts' during the camp.

Oh well. If u noticed, we we're supposed to be gay bengs.. well i dont think we did it very well tho. haha thank goodness too. haha (Btw im teh one in teh middle)

Yeah anyway once i get the pics.. (M-E-L.....) i will upload it up here i guess. lawl. Now im gonna meet santa maria then head to brians for some G3 action.

P.s : I got this frm Ant-hea and goodness. wtfomfglmaorofl? how do they do tht? i mean thts well past the 180 mark.. like maybe one day if i keep trying... i might actually break past my limit.. the 90 degree one.
L-a-w-l

Back!

2006-07-08T16:38:00.000+08:00

Okay. Im gonna stop rattling on bout Bob. i guess that if i keep going on and on... there will never be any end to this. So moving on... The Camp was ok.. lesser people turned up today but it was still aiight.. did plenty of gay stuff ( Will post up the pics when i get them; Melissa! )

Got wet.. thrice.. and um yah everyone too... but somehow Kahwoon managed to do the impossible. Yes believe it or not he came out a dry man. Bitch. And while waiting for the campers to reach our stations.. me kahwoon and alif.. did some pretty sadistic stuff, here goes.

First, we noticed that one part of this huge circular stone bench with a tree in the middle had a high ant activity rate and we decided to try something out. First we took a beetle and placed it among the ants. Within seconds... many more joined in and the beetle got *pwn3d pretty badly. So we decided to try with some other insects, one with preferbly more 'kick'. So Kahwoon caught a jumping spider and did the same.. and woo! There u see the poor spider struggling, trying to jump free to no avail. It too got *Pwn3d l4wl. We got it on tape. so ill try to post it up here when i get hold of it hurr. But its pretty cool, cos u can actually see some form of co-operation whereby a few would pin down the victim while the others wld either get the legs off or um.. basically screw the insect pretty bad. so yeah. Pretty interesting... Now im starting to worry bout the ants in my room. heh heh. just kidding...........

Anyway im shagged so gonna rest now, and partially cos my FKC awaits. (ooouuu) haha so bb. Oh yeah gonna get my new phone tmr. Teh Nokia 6 something la. so, Hee...

*Got pawned badly lawl

Cau Ber boul Panyat

2006-07-08T00:36:00.000+08:00

Finally. Back from the part 1 of the camp and i would say Bob has yet to redeem herself. And her constant "im-very-stress"-es arent helping us one bit. I would say most of the campers are rather co-operative, but theres always a thorn out of the roses... or 2... Anyway, theres this malay dude, hair like 2hill (*lawl).. man.. ive never seen a more appropriate real life example of the word "childish"

Anyway i wld agree he is a fun guy to have around in the camp, definately the more socialble, but his constant actions, antics (which are Very exageratted) and his "bradder la bradder" are making me wonder what have sin i have committed that made me deserve such a punishment. har har

Moving on... yes.. the dinner. It was all provided and again we had sour eggs yay... and Bob yes.. she prepared what seemed to be 20L canister of ice-cold Ribena for a roughly 60 strong group of campers who had just finished their games. Fantastic right?

Ill stop for now.. as i have to save my time to prepare myself mentally for the psycological beating im going to face tmr. But how bad can it get, half the camp is over (YAY!) and the measly 2 CCA im getting after all this trauma. Oh well.

Now apart from the camp nothing has happened. so yah, too bad.
So.. in replacment, ill show u a video of.... The coolest kid in the world.

His parents must be so proud of him right now.
Well i love these kinda ppl. They make me laugh at their expanse (*evil laughter)
Oh well. Ive gotta slp NOW cos i have to be in school by 8 tmr. Great. So for those reading. Good night and God bless.
Damm tht b!tc...................

Lamb of chop

2006-07-06T23:53:00.000+08:00

Christ, Imagine what i cld do with a voice like his...
i could.. Sing tht song! lawl...
but seriosuly, this is one of the very few songs of this genre i actually appreciate and have listened to for over 30 times. Heh. (FYO they are not Antichrist, so all you t3h n00bl3ts, j00 can put down those Crosses)

Anyway, ive a camp later for the freshies and the best part is.... and the story begins.
The following events are all organised by the same person.
As it isincorrect and insensitive to reveal the name of the organiser, i shall refer to her as 'Bob'.
SCL Kickoff tournament. Everyone was present, both players and supporters and yes! the field wasnt booked. Bob was truely sorry and made her apologies. Nevermind, people do make mistakes afterall. We put the past behind us, but we had yet to know what soon lie ahead...
The next week we had the Pirates trial camp, and yes u guessed it. total disaster, no co-ordination, no purpose and best of all, no air con rooms booked. Nvm after all, its a trial camp after all, im sure she wld learn from her mistakes AGAIN.
and so a week passed and here i am today, preparing for the Actual camp and guess what?? There was some mis-communication between the Bob and the school's administrative side and there are no rooms booked for anyone to sleep. great. now all the campers can go home late at night only to come back early the next day to resume the OVERNIGHT camp. And yes, breakfast too is Not provided. haha

Well, i guess no ones perfect and everyone makes mistakes now and then... and yes, i too, am guilty of making a few.....................
BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THAT %$!@%ING B!TCH !@*&^@#

One more thing. Dear Mark, If i see any of those Ling Wu Ping stuff on my blog, u are going to die a horrible death. seriously. i know its funny when we do what we do to others, but we have to draw the fine line between fun and seriousness.
Do to others = Fun
Do to self = Not fun
I hope i made it clear enough. so any smart souls who are thinking of finding cheap thrills by tagging rubbish on my blog, kindly click the other names at my links section and leave my blog alone hahahahaha.
Thanks.
