Those three letters can mean a lot to people.

I beg to differ.

How much more would it take for you to add an extra five letters?

Wouldn't it mean so much more?

Acronyms can mean so many things.

and acronyms DO lead to many many errors xD

Examples of misunderstood acronyms:

For example...

An acronym technically isn't an abbreviation, contrary to popular belief :P

BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW THAT! ^^

An acronym is not any abbreviation, just one that forms a "sayable" word. HAH! D:D:D

Anyway, there was this guy who though FYI was Fu** You Idiot (instead of For Your Information :P)

So... You can probably guess what happened next ;)

So yes... How hard is it? :)

Implications.

Sigh.

Now I won't be able to go for Vern's party AND the Sabah trip.

on the brighter side..

I may get a Nikon D5000 (kit, with bag, 18-55 lens, 4GB memory stick) for a VERY LOW PRICE at RM2xx... My mum will (surprisingly :D) sponsor it if the deal goes true ^^

On a similar note, Yamaha will be having a SECRET (now not so much anymore :D) drum sale (Yamaha drums, hardware, Sabian and Silken cymbals) at their Main Branches, not the franchised ones... later this month on the 23rd, 24th and 25th...

Now I just wish I could. I really wish I could.

Stand HO!.... Mind your language young man =_='

Going back to school tomorrow :)

It'll be sad not being able to talk to her :(

What do YOU see in that picture above? :)

Free.

2010-06-21T16:05:00.001+08:00

Dear God the only thing I ask of you

Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away

For a long time I've been listening to Snuff and I've really liked it, even though a lot of people say its not Slipknot... But it is a really nice song if you don't think of it as Slipknot. And I never thought I'd do what the words relayed.

I only wish you weren't my friend

Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

I guess its something like what she did :)

and well, yeah.

I still press your letters to my lips

And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
I couldn't face a life without your lights
But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight

Deliver me into my fate
I don't deserve to have you
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know

I've definitely changed a lot since I met you, mostly, expanding my hroizons, and if it weren't for you I would be very different today. You turned me from someone hopeful into an optimist. You made me focus my views. You made me see.

I've had lots of fun with you :)

I've had experiences like no other, like sleeping under the stars with you and escaping the narcs, just walking around in circles, talking about life, secrets, texting each other till dawn, I never imagined I'd have someone willing to follow me to a place like Johor Bahru either.

'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again,
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through

And I'd have given up on many things if it weren't for you, I've made friends, I've learnt how to deal with things, and best of all, I had you while all that happened :)

When hope begins to fade

When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You were my best friend, you were always there for me when I needed you.

And yeah, that mistake I made two months and a day. I sure do regret it. A lot. I still do. I think about it everyday. I think about you all the time. All day. All night. Even in my dreams you haunt me.

We all need that person who can be true to you

But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold

And well, for the past two months I know I've been bad. And I really just wouldn't let you out of my sight.

And now, I've done what I've done what I've done to make sure that you're happy, cause when I met you you were pretty much the most hyper-crazy-awesome person I knew.

And I want you to be happy :)

and yes, I do get what you mean when you say we just can't right now. And like yeah, maybe we'll give it a shot in the future

And the dream I got last night was pretty much the only thing we could do to sweeten the situation. If only (:

I'd like to thank you for everything, once again, for staying by my side for so long. Doing this sure wasn't easy for me, but I'll try to work through this.

And once again, maybe for the last time, I'd like to say.

I love you.

Airplanes In The Night Sky

2010-06-20T16:09:00.000+08:00

Been quite a while since I've done a wishlist post :)

In this post I'm limiting myself to US$10k

First :)

My drums.

For cymbals... The Sabian HHX Super Pack now on sale for ONLY US$1000! :S:S:S:S

In Malaysia the regular price would be RM6k+ for this. It comes with three crashes, hats and a ride.

I would also add on an Alesis DM6 Electronic Drumset meshed in with the other parts of my drum kit so its an extra US$600 for 4 programmable cymbals and 5 programmable drums.

For my acoustic kit..

None other than the Tama Starclassic Bubinga and Birch 7 piece :) Can you believe its only US$2k over there and RM13k HERE?

US$250 more for CAD Premium 7 Piece drum mics.

So US$3.85k spent on drums.

Now for recording equipment.

The software will be the Native Instruments II/KORE II pack with controller for US$800.

and

M-Audio BX5a Monitor and Mic Package for US350 and well as as Tascam 16 input mixer for US$300 more.

Plus a MacBook Pro 15 inch for US$1.5k :)

For guitar I'll go with a Schecter Hellraiser C1 for US$900, a Peavey Valveking halfstack for US$1000.

Total price to date: US$8700

ESP LTD B206 six stringer for US$429 for the bass, and a Fender Bassman 120 for the amp at US$500.

That leaves us at US$ 9629.

I'll get a Yamaha Portable Grand Legacy 76 for US$299 which would go straight to the DI box.

Leaves me with US$72 :)

Chindia :D

2010-06-19T15:42:00.002+08:00

Yes I use Google Chrome

Anyone there on the list of notable Chindians that you know? ;) (Hint hint: THE BOTTOM ONE! Anyone wanna help me create a page? :P)

HAHAHAHAHA

I believe that Chindian should be a race, really. Even Singapore now allows two races to be filed in someones personal document... 16.4% of marriages there will result in Chindian babies and as of 2007, 4.2% of their population are Chindians.

ANYWAY,

Slash was tackled by a guy during Sweet Child of Mine the other day :P This is what he said about it.
"What'd I say? Rowdy crowd for sure. But amazing! The guy who nailed me didn't take me down but he busted my poor [guitar]. Ah well, it was a kick-ass rock show in the first order!"

but his wife on the other hand...

"The guy came down from the rafters, ran up to Slash and grabbed him during his 'Sweet Child O' Mine' solo. Broke the head on the guitar. [The security guard] Junior grabbed the a--hole, they both fell to the floor. Junior hit his head hard and the Milan security did nothing! Kicked him out but didn't arrest him. I love Italy! But f--- those security promoters for doing nothing! Slash could have seriously [hurt himself] and Junior did. It's not right! What [are] they there for? As decoration? It's not right."

Protective mou? xD

and anyway, next week our school will be doing this

(copied from Sia's facebook post)

Environment club is having their Environment week which is held every year!

Venue: Wesley Methodist School

Schedule:-

Monday : Opening ceremony. There will be a guest of honour & a speech by our fellow environment club members (:

Tuesday : Performance by Lower Secondary Environment Club

Wednesday : Performance by Upper Secondary Environment Club

Thursday : Upper Secondary Food Sale

Friday : Lower Secondary Food Sale

WHAT WILL WE BE SELLING?
Cupcakes, rootbeer, hotdogs, marshmallow with chocolate dip, waffle, drinks & lots more. (:

The Upper Secondary Environment Club will be selling cute little badges throughout the week.

First things first, yes I did think up the title myself. (and yes it was created not pertaining to ayone and all matches are purely coincidental)

Remember the time when we could walk around forever in circles?
Remember the time when all we'd do is just sit and wait for a miracle?

I am in a real angry mood. I don't know why. I don't even want to know why. You know one of those times where you just feel like taking out your frustration on someone? (and yes, I do have someone in mind)

There are nights when all my aching bones won't let me sleep

And demons come to plague me as I lie in bed
But I know if you were sleeping there beside me then
That you could fend them off and they would let me rest

I may have an idea why. But I'm not going to say it out loud. It's definitely going to piss a few people I know off. So I'll keep it in.

Well, I don't know what it means

But I can't seem to make myself forget
Was it something that you said

I hope it doesn't come back again. I hope it isn't prolonged. It feels horrible. And I just want to take it out on someone.

I cross the road
just to hide
and to avoid the times
when you stood
at my side

I just had an epiphany.

What does it matter?

What's done is done and I should get on with my life

According to the big boobed Red Indian who helped Homer Simpson: An epiphany is a sudden realization of great truth.

Everywhere I go I see your face

Every sound I hear is the sound of your voice
Why are you haunting me

I guess it wasn't so sudden, really. It was always at the back of my mind and I was just trying to suppress it and deny it.

You're still with me in my dreams

Then after a turn of events that happened, I guess I couldn't keep it in anymore.

Sehnsucht.

Reminscence.

Today I went back to the places that we shared. The secret corner :) Remember that?

And it all just came flashing back at me. Everything.

Is hope the only thing that keeps me sane?
A good friend once told me we are our memory

Without them we equal nothing

Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground

Their echoes are reaching my ears
Nights coming fast, suns going down - confused
I don't know the answers but neither do you

2010-06-17T18:40:00.001+08:00

Dear You,

Looking back at the beginning of this

And how life was
Just you and me and love and all of our friends
Living life like an ocean
I can't always just forget her

At the end of the world or the last thing I see

You are never coming home
Never coming home
Could I?
Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever
I have been searching for traces of what we were

A ghost of you is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all
I looked ahead to all the plans that we made

And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away

And I'm not looking for anything but us

Anything but what we were
And I'm not asking for painted memories
I only want to know you're here

I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook

I held you close as we both shook for the last time
But you really need to listen to me

Because I'm telling you the truth
Lived through you,

safe with how we lived our lives,
with how it all turned out.
But things are bound to change

I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes

I know, I know.
Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright :)
I know, I know
I never imagined my life could turn out this way
So cold so black so alone

A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free

Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame

No more breath inside

Essence left my heart ♥ tonight

It helps me to appreciate

Those nights and those dreams

Dear God the only thing I ask of you

Is to hold her when I'm not around
When I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her ♥
And now I wish I'd stayed

But now,

Where do we go when we just don't know

And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life

Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you

Look, I told you I would move on :) And I will. Like I promised. But remember what you promised me too?
And I don't want you breaking yours too :)

With love,
Isaac.

Catch A Mate

2010-06-17T18:15:00.001+08:00

6.5/10

It was better than the other two books I would say :)

But towards the end it only focused on sexual tension that it really got quite unenjoyable. Not twists in the plot or anything but it's redeeming grace was the pickup lines at the front of every chapter. It was slightly better than the other two also because it wasn't childish :P

Romance Reader
Jillian Greene works for Catch a Mate, where she is hired out as bait for unfaithful men. Capitalizing on the good looks, long legs, and sexy figure that are a must for any romance heroine, she earns a living tempting husbands, fiancés and boyfriends. She helps prove they can't be trusted even before the possibility occurs to them. With a job like that, it's no wonder she doesn't think very highly of the male of the species. Her philandering father and her depressive, heart-broken mother don't help much either. When she learns that her male-bashing boss has hired Marcus Brody to do unto women what Jillian does unto men, she is furious. She is also attracted to this handsome, hunk.

Marcus has a similar attitude. He begins trading insults and bets with Jillian, but quickly acquires a more mature attitude. His change of heart is the main reason why this book won me over. It was wonderful to watch him acknowledge his past and present mistakes and touching to see the different ways he shows Jillian he really cares. Jillian eventually goes through a similar metamorphosis. The motivation for her behavior is more predictable and her conversion less moving, but all in all, her character development is quite credible.

Jillian's and Marcus's romance is buttressed with the story of another couple. Georgia, Jillian's best friend and fellow bait, has been in love with Brent, Jillian's brother, since forever, but she doesn't believe he is genuinely interested in her. Because he never had time for her when she was a gawky teen-aged ugly duckling, she thinks it's only her looks which attract him now that she's a white-feathered swan. Of course, she's quite wrong about him (so wrong that it makes me wonder how Jillian could have such a poor opinion about men given her wonderful brother). The subplot does a fairly decent rendition of this clichéd plot, but it doesn't add much more than pages to the main story.

The talk was really great :)

Though you know how crazy you made me feel? xD

I know you weren't comfortable at first but after awhile you grew crazy about it? :P

Someday... Could you return the favour? I know it was hard and it could be harder next time but if it made you feel that way what do you think I will feel? :P

No pressure though... :)

Has a book EVER made you laugh senseless?

Just before starting my Project: Chicklit I reread Foley Is Good: And The Real World is Faker Than Wrestling.

No matter HOW many times I read it it still makes me laugh my heart out :)

I'm on a book called Catch A Mate now and its actually pretty graphic, maybe not as much as *swoon* the Succubus series or the Dark Swan series that as many of you know, are the only books that I really follow, besides the Hunger Games :)

4/10
This is the last book that came out and it isn't as good as the others :S

Speaking of which, I made cheese sauce today :) And it tasted (hard to believe) TOO cheesy. Aih. Shouldn't have mixed in the extra parmesan :S

I may be making chocolate cupcakes later :D any orders?

Let me tell you about this love and hate relation
Between a man and a woman
And so none of you all get the wrong interpretation
I can't live with them
I'm gonna die without them
Sooner or later
You'll be a he man woman hater
It's inevitable
And to become one
You've gotta really hate to love them
He man woman hater
He, he man woman hater
You know I love to hate cause I hate to love them
He man's behavior
Doesn't need no explanation
We all got a one track mind
He men have always had a sexual preoccupation
It's gonna be your place or it's gonna be mine
Sooner or later
You'll be a he man woman hater
It's inevitable
And to become one
You've gotta really hate to love them
He man woman hater
He, he man woman hater
You know
I love to hate cause I hate to love them
he man woman hater
Can't live with em gonna die without 'em

WOOT EXTREME :D

Sometimes it does get a bit, tough. Remember that dream you had about me and the other girl and you said it was akin to what I told you the previous day or so about me seeing "it" right in front of me? You know it still is hard for me to cross, and like, yes I do know you have feelings for him, but you know... Sigh. Its happened so many times already and it keeps ripping me apart over and over again. Hopefully tomorrow can solve things :) But like what I told you this morning? This is even worse than that time you reprimanded me for talking to the other girl online, even though I never talked to her in real life? This is so much worse for me. Because in school now you'll probably have him all to yourself ALL day in class and the fact that you go out with him so much nowadays, you never used to talk to me like you broadcast it out to the whole world now, and I'm just saying, it kills me inside. Sigh. Oh well, what's done is done and I'm going to prove myself ;) Fingers crossed for tomorrow :) I guarantee you'll have fun. No wait. FUN. wait a minute. FUNFUN. x)

As I close my eyes,

I feel it all slipping away
I come towards you
We all got left behind,
We let it all slip away
As i close my eyes,
I feel it all slipping away
I come towards you
We all got left behind
We let it all slip away

The Boyfriend Game

2010-06-16T14:57:00.000+08:00

Project: Chicklit

5/10

It is better than the previous one I read, but one of its flaws is that it focuses too much on "soccer" yet never goes in depth even a bit? Typical American views. Its redeeming grace is the descriptive language that Stephie Davis uses (no, its not a graphic book, definitely "U" rated), a modern day JRR Tolkien she is not, but then again, this book doesn't come close to Richelle Meads (my favourite female author ^^) work. It's okay, read it just to pass time. Nothing memorable about this book.

Trisha loves soccer, it’s the only thing she can think about. She works hard at it and is good because of that. When her coach announces that there will be a chance to make the Varsity team, she knows without a doubt that she wants Varsity more than anything.

Her two best friends, Beth and Sara, are also on the soccer team. Beth really doesn’t care about soccer, she’s only there to spend time with her friends. Sara on the other hand does care. She’s naturally good at it and is one of Trisha’s main competitors for the spot on the Varsity team.

Where Sara is naturally good at what Trisha wishes she was good at, Trisha gets all the attention from the boys. A boy named Kirk more than anyone else, Sara likes him, Trisha wants him to get lost and it is a cause of major tension throughout the book.
One night after practice, Beth and Sara go out to the local hangout spot and leave Trisha behind, because she insists that she needs to practice. It is then that she bumps into Graham. The two strike up an unlikely friendship. They start practicing together, and Graham constantly tells her that she’s so cool and awesome and amazing and ‘not like other girls’. However she starts to crush on him, and it changes everything.

2010-06-16T14:50:00.001+08:00

Project: Chicklit

4/10

Not that great a book.

Sure, it has certain parts that are totally cool, like the missions that The Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Yong women sends their students too, but overall I'm pretty disappointed. Not much action, not much character building. Nothing concrete. But then again, I don't know if this can qualify for "chicklit" as it is probably meant for tweens. An okay read, but it won't bring you back for more.

The story follows the young Cameron (Cammie) Morgan, who attends Gallagher Academy For Exceptional Young Women, a school for gifted girls (which is actually a school for spies in training). She faces her fourth year of real spy training. While on her first mission required for the Covert Operations class, she meets Josh, a normal kid (which she is definitely not), who notices her despite her reputation as a "pavement artist" — she does not tell him who she really is and where she goes to school. Soon Josh and Cammie develop a steady relationship with Cammie always sneaking out of the school to see him at night. Cammie does this with the help of her three roommates/best friends, Rebecca "Bex" Baxter, Elizabeth "Liz" Sutton, and Macey McHenry. Cammie lies to Josh many times to keep her cover, claiming that she is homeschooled, has a cat and has lived in exotic places, but her true identity is revealed after Josh's friend Dillon attempts to break into Gallagher Academy to prove that it is Cammie's real school. Josh and Cammie break up. Once Josh walks away, Cammie is "kidnapped" by her teacher for her CoveOps final. The Gallagher Girls have to rescue Cammie; Josh attempts, unsuccessfully, to save her, and is let in on the secret of the Gallagher Girls. But as he is leaving he tells Cammie, "Oh, tell your mom thanks for the tea," leaving the possibility open as to whether Cammie's mom gave him a special kind of tea to wipe his memory, or just regular tea. The story ends with Josh leaving the mansion and telling Cammie, "I guess I'll see you around."

Ashwin advised me to start a Project 365 but like I've said before, I don't HAVE definite Internet access everyday so I've come up with an alternative project.

Basically its a series of projects that I'm going to do about things that I don't normally do, like make top ten lists or blog about food and all.

And so I was talking to a random person on Omegle and he told me I should start with... Chicklit.

Project: Chicklit

Well yes, a few of you know that I HAVE read chicklit before and have nothing against it, its just not a genre that attracts me, well anyways, a good friend of mine has been SO *sarcasm* kind as to randmly pick out three books from his sister's shelf for my project.

Their names?

1. I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You

2. The Boyfriend Game

3. Catch a Mate (Originally supposed to be Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Kisses but I respectfully declined)

I've already read the first two books yesterday and I'm halfway through the third. any suggestions for other books? :) (Reviews up later today if possible)

I'll be starting Project: Top Ten soon :)

Now Your Nightmare Comes To Life

2010-06-15T15:43:00.001+08:00

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back
I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do

And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away
Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

METAL POST BELOW!

Normal post coming later :D

or tomorrow. Will see whether I have time x)

How many of you are SICK of mainstream garbage?
I'm talking about Britney, Bieber, Gaga, Miley Cyrus, did I forget Bieber?

Well, here's a couple videos that ought to brighten up your day :)

And yes, they ARE pretty funny.

Oops I Did It Again - Children Of Bodom

Cry Me A River - Ten Masked Men

Death growling is something I've always wanted to do but I just don't wanna screw my voice up xD

Diamonds Are Forever. So is a request to go to prom. :P

2010-06-14T17:53:00.003+08:00

Diamonds are so plain, don't you think?
If I ever proposed to someone I'd go with something cooler :D

Like pink champagne or ruby :)

Or... COAL :D

2010-06-14T17:24:00.002+08:00

And these days they linger on
And in the night I've been waiting for
The real possibility that I may meet you in my dreams
I go to sleep
If I don't fall apart, Will my memory stay clear?
So you had to go, And I had to remain here?
But the strangest thing today

So far away and yet you feel so close
And I'm not gonna question any other way
There must be an open door
Why'd you go and break what's already broken?

I try to take a breath but I'm already choking
How long till this goes away?
I try to remember to forget you

But I break down every time I do
It's left me less than zero
Beat down and bruised
I can't see him with you
I can't seem to get my heart over you

Cause you creep into everything I do
And now I'm dying to know
How he touches you
Where'd you go?

I miss you so,
Seems like it's been forever,
That you've been gone.
It seems one thing has been true all along,

You don't really know what you've got until it's gone.

So discontinue the antiseptic care charade. As a cry of justice comes, a malignant fire fades.

2010-06-14T13:29:00.001+08:00

Would she hear me if i called her name?

Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?

By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip.
I'm not insane.
I said it, I meant it.

And I will always have the right to defend it.

Hmm... You guys know that mindless droning everytime a World Cup match comes on?
I'm sick of it.
Idiotic vuvuzelas.

You guys remember the 2005 Champions League final that Liverpool won?

What happened to that?

The chanting, and the singing.

Sure, this IS South Africa, but the vuvuzelas are drowning out the atmosphere. What's the point?

Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness comes creeping on so haunting everytime

Roadrunner Records are letting YOU download the Fight Song by Methods of Mayhem for FREE :D

Download!

Anyway, let's see.

How many Fight Songs can we possibly have anyway...
Hmm... Let's see...

The Marilyn Manson one...

The Sanctus Real one..
Bullet For My Valentine just came up with one called the Last Fight

Now we have the Methods of Mayhem one...

And the Avenged Sevenfold "Fight"

The Classic Crime "Fight"...

That's a lot of fight songs xD

And now here's an excerpt from Portnoy's statement that he will drum for Sevenfold throughout this year/ YAY!

Through all that may come

And all that may go
I walk beside you

The Dream Theater drummer writes:

After having had such an amazing experience recording my drum tracks for the new Avenged Sevenfold album, we all knew it would be awesome if I'd be able to do some touring with the band after its release...

I am happy to say that the timing worked out perfectly that my touring cycle with Dream Theater (and Transatlantic) was coming to an end just as A7X's was scheduled begin!

(well, perfect for everyone except my poor family!) : )

Although I wish I could stay on board with A7X in a more permanent capacity, the reality is that I am commited to Dream Theater as my main priority (that is my baby afterall!), and I will need to resume work with DT to start a new album at some point in 2011....

However, I will be able to join my brothers in Avenged Sevenfold for at least the duration of their touring throughout 2010...and hopefully this will give them the time to continue to heal and get comfortable back on the road....

You can look at me like the band's "rebound drummer" to buy them some time until they are comfortable and ready to make a commitment to somebody new for full-time relationship in their future!

In the meantime, I am real excited to hit the road with the boys...to bring my drumming from their new album to life on stage and to honor The Rev with all of their older material....

(Hey, do I get to have a cool, bad-ass stage name now???) : )

C-ya out there,

MP

I guess you never meant to last that long with me. I was your rebound after all, isn't it?

I wish they come to Malaysia. I really wish they do.

But even if it was in Singapore I wouldn't mind going :D

Anyway, Slash's concert location has been changed to Stadium Negara?!

All my buddies on Lowyat have decided to take the trip to Fort Canning, Singapore. SGD100 ONLY! Free standing.

Screw PMR. Really.

And screw Malaysian concert organizers.

Now with our country's bad rep how on earth are we going to bring in awesome performers.

There was a rumour going round the boards that Megadeth are going to come to Malaysia :) They'll be the biggest pull we get in a while, but what's the point? Tickets will probably be overpriced and some guys will probably protest just cause Mustaine's Christian. And I'm not a classic metal fan anyway.

I'm so far away

And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make me whole
Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Wait for them to come on in and take you, away from me again

Wait for them to come on in and take you, black rose dying

Bartholomew.

Metal Hammer has learned that Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sullivan passed away from an accidental drug overdose.

According to Rolling Stone, toxicology reports concluded that he suffered “acute polydrug intoxication due to the combined effects of Oxycodone, Oxymorphone, Diazepam/Nordiazepam and ethanol.”

A statement from A7X’s manager, Larry Jacobsen, reads: “To all of us who loved Jimmy, the only thing relevant about December 28 is that is the night we lost, too soon, a son, brother, friend and one of the most talented artists in the world. Every day, his parents and sisters, and his brothers in Avenged Sevenfold smile at the many memories they have of Jimmy and his fans around the world revel in the musical legacy he left them.”

How many of you guys know Poison? :)

Sigh.

You know the guy who did the actions for the vocalist in GUITAR HERO 3? Bret Michaels?

Word is out that he's going to replace Simon Cowell in American Idol.

FINALLY we're gonna have someone RAWK in there :D

Speaking to PopEater.com, Michaels has said: “I’d be honored to do it. I feel there’s one area I shine in, it’s giving musicians unbelievable advice. When you talk about being a judge, Simon did an amazing job. He cut to the chase with his brutal honesty. Mine would be less brutal and with more advice along with the judging. I’ll say that wasn’t the right song, do you have what it takes?”

“My life is all-encompassing … it’s being a performer, as well as a singer-songwriter and a producer. I can cover every aspect of the business for them. I’d be honored to do it and fans would be blown away by the advice. Everyone thinks when you get a record deal, you’ve made it. I say the exact opposite. You have a foot in the door, now how do you last 20 years. What’s going to make fans watch “Idol” and see a kid write a great song, and 20 years from now they still want to see you playing music.
“I would love to do it and I could give killer advice.”

This picture of him looks a bit like Kurt huh? xD
Kurt. Not Kurt GLEE. Kurt Cobain.

Speaking of which, a movie is going going to be made about Kurt Cobain's life and...

Hold on. You don't know who Kurt FRICKIN Cobain is? Nirvana? Died in '94?
Well anyway, Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars is slated to play him :D
Hopefully its not Zac Efron :S like they said. I still think Leto should do it. He HAS the vocals.
Some say its Ewan McGregor or Robert Pattinson though.
Scarlett Johanssen will probably do Courtney Love ;)

What do you think?

This is Jared Leto (Yes, he went for the blonde look)
on the left with Kurt on the right. DON'T YOU THINK HE SHOULD PLAY HIM?

WHY OBI WAN KENOBI OR ED CULLEN?

Ewan Mc Gregor

I'm still deliberating over whether to get the Superstar or Canon D500.

Dilemma.

2010-06-12T15:23:00.001+08:00

Canon EOS 500D

or

Tama Superstar?

Pros of Canon
- Finally be able to satiate my hunger for a DSLR
- Use my Photoshop to the MAX
- More candids
- Awesome photos for my bloggie

Cons of Canon
- Bulky
- Need to save EVEN more for drumming
- New lenses are expensive
- I am a pretty careless person.. Very high chance of it getting scratched.

Pros of Tama
- FINALLY get a good drumset after nine years of playing
- Can record
- Can practice more

Cons of Tama
- I live in a condo, either have to mute it (which pretty much kills the point of buying a drumset) or suffer from the neighbours
- Skins are expensive, have to change every few months
- Will have to purchase an extra tom, extra stands, cymbals... And will probably GAS for a pro drumset after that.

A while ago, a friend of mine, Gapnap, blogged about spending money. Investments and Expenses.

Expense is shit that don’t recover. Once out , then it is out. No turning back .

But we humans NEED to spend . Where’s the fun you know ?

Investment is an asset . You are expecting returns . Some call it healthy spendings.

In this case, I would say that both would be considered Investments. Drums, work towards future studio work and raise my band's performance bar. Camera = Nice blog = More visits = More money from Nuffnang.

Drums would be a long term investment. Probably with higher earnings in total, but have to wait ten years maybe?

Camera would be a mid term investment. Say 100 bucks a month from an ad company x 12 months x 10 years x 2, saying my blog expands. Would be 24k by the time I'm twenty five.

But say drums, studio recording la, 4 sessions when I'm twenty five would more than cover for the camera investment.

What do you think?

The legends are true...

Every four years...

Sigh.

How many of you have watched the new Astro B.yond "64 matches in HD" advertisement?

Truth is, and I'm sure many of you know it, Malaysia is SUPER slow.

According to wikipedia:

The British high definition TV service started trials in August 1936 and a regular service in November 1936 using both the (mechanical) Baird 240 line and (electronic) Marconi-EMI 405 line (377i) systems.

So we are over seventy years late. No? :)

Well, the World Cup is starting later today and I am hoping that either Spain (looking likely) will win or, just to end their misery, England :)

I got addicted to football in 2002 cause my parents had an office in Corus Hotel and they screened the matches downstairs x)

Well, from then on I got hooked till I came to WMS.

Hmm... I've had quite a few phases in my life, come to think about it.

Say...
- Football

-Then becoming obssessed with being a radio DJ around standard four

- Then wrestling later on (I used to have a few vids on youtube ;))

http://www.youtube.com/user/isaacmiranda7#p/u/10/6TjAfPOzl1U

- Then gaming :) Maple Story, Rise of Nations, DotA and Sudden Attack x)

- Then now... The music industry x)

I want you guys to tell me what to blog on :) THANKS!

100th post :)

2010-06-10T17:38:00.001+08:00

YAY! After over one and a half years of not so constant blogging I have finally reached my 100th :)

Now I am at a loss for words x)

HAHAHAHA A few of you know that I've been going through a pretty dark period but I would say its pretty much over now, other than a craving sometimes x)

I signed up for Nuffnang and I think I should have a few months back when I was getting around 100-200 views a day on my blog. :S

But its never too late :D And I'm going to work harder.

Now. What do I talk about? :)

Ever since Gwen and I split I have had three girls come and ask me whether I would date them.

But NAHHHHH. They just aren't my type.

I know no one exactly can be a carbon copy of her la but unless somehow you're her or something, it doesn't matter if you're different. Help me move on? Please. No pressure x)

I really don't know la, like I think I should move on cause she's already moved on, but I don't know who :)

I'm looking for suggestions oh ;) HAHAHAHAHAHA

And I'm willing to test la x)

I'm not looking for someone seriously now. I just miss going out with someone for the heck of it. Hell, it doesn't even need to be consider dating. Just someone to talk to :) and be close to.

Requirements:
- Willing to date a Chindian. And really, who wouldn't ;) We're so awesome.
- Is perasan, but not too much :P
- Not shorter than 5 feet :) But not too tall either ;)
- Likes music :)

- And basically yeah :) Funfun is a must.
- Older or younger doesn't matter, just not too much older or younger :)
- It doesn't matter if you don't LIKE LIKE me now. You will ;) Try me. :P

Today I went to the Guitar Gallery Ampang to practice with Zach, Jin and Bryan.

We did Metalingus, Situations and a secret song ;)

Do come and support us at SMK Sentul Utama on July 3rd, in the morning :)

Serious post coming tomorrow or day after :)

Broke & Broken.

2010-06-09T15:51:00.001+08:00

Broke.

RM50 can get you a lovely six inch knife.

Broken.

After everything you told me, it hurts most not that you gave up. But you didn't even try.

Does anything even matter anymore?

Nobody told me what you thought

Nobody told me what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Told you when to runaway

Nobody told you where to hide

Nobody told you what to say

Everyone showed you where to turn

Showed you when to runaway

I hate feeling like this

I'm so tired of trying to fight this

I'm asleep and all I dream of

Is waking to You

Tell me that You will listen

You're touch is what i'm missing

I realize I'm slowly losing You

I don't wanna live, I dont wanna breathe

'Les I feel you next to me

You take the pain I feel

Waking up to You never felt so real

I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream

'Cause my dreams don't comfort me

The way You make me feel

Waking up to You never felt so real

I hate living without You

Dead wrong to ever doubt You

But my demons lay in waiting

Tempting me away

Suspension.

2010-06-08T17:21:00.001+08:00

Is it really that bad to hug someone?

and

iwybpdlm.

Silence, you've lost me, no chance for one more day

2010-06-08T14:35:00.001+08:00

Like the new layout?

well I do :) and I think it'll work well to carry the ton(ne?) of pics that I'm gonna put up :D

Anyway, yesterday I was screwing around on my mum's Vaio looking through my pictures and all and I decided to give Photoshop another shot.

I tried it a few years back and was completely dumbfounded, this time...though...

Let's just say I'm now hooked :D

I can't post up pictures now cause I don't have them with me but they're coming soon... VERY soon.

I finished work on a new header and started a raw mix for a song I'm coming up with for Allturnative.

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost

It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time

But I'm too young to worry

These's streets we traveled on will undergo our same lost past

A melody, a memory or just one picture

Someone falls to pieces

Someone kills the pain

Spinning in the silence

She finally drifts away

Someone gets excited

In a chapel yard

And catches a bouquet

Another lays a dozen

White roses on a grave

And I'm wondering whether I should save up for a DSLR or a drumset :)

Mi :)

2010-06-07T18:59:00.001+08:00

Nothing To Say

2010-03-27T17:22:00.001+08:00

Ternyata semua bicaraku

Tersimpan di dalam hatiku

Ternyata semua soalanku

Tak pernah kau fikir di fikiran

Ternyata kau masih

Mencari kepastian dalam cinta

Dan disini masih

Menanti jawapannya

Tuhan tolong nyatakanlah

Padanya tentang cinta

Adakah masih diriku di perlukan
Tuhan tunjukkan padanya

Tentang apa yang ku fikirkan

Adakah cinta ini

Perlu untuk dirinya

Berbicara tentang cinta kita

Masih tiada noktah penghujungnya

Berbicara tentang perasaan

Simpan saja semua itu

A lot of you guys know that I've shunned the radio for a long time right? xD

Mostly cause it's WAY too mainstream, too repititive, too many advertisements and all. But one radio station has recently caught my attention. And I'm listening to those waves again :D And its none other than... X FM.

Never heard of it?

Well, its a Malay radio station.

MALAY???

Well, yes xD

There are WAYY more guitar soloes, way less electronic crap that you get on Hitz and Fly and Mix and Traxx... Its modern too...

And well yes, now I'm addicted to the station. COOL NAME TOO :D

On another note, I'm starting formal drum lessons again soon, probably at Rock City or something :)

I traded my Soundgear for a pair of pets x)

Wanna know WHAT pets?

Dog?

Cat?

HAMSTER?

Wabbit?

Tigger?

Noo.....

Cobras.

YES Cobras.

Cobras are awesome :D

These guys are named Curly and Crooky

COOL RIGHT?

I got them off a protected species dealer in Taman Negara... I keep them in my BALCONY. Anyone wanna come over and visit them? :D:D:D

KIDDING :D

I got myself some IRON cobras :)

Now I'm selling off my Grover Jackson Dinky at a mere RM2.5k... Anyone interested?

We seem so lost and jaded

Well what a price to pay

Fear can be overstated,

and you seem infatuated

with finding who's to blame.

While it can seem so hard now,

I got a feeling we ain't meant to live this way.

Don't tell me it's too late,

cause I feel it too, we all love to hate

and let others lead the way.

Some searching to find

That love (life?) with a new piece of mind.

And still we push further away,

Singing our songs of yesterday.

While so much still stands in our way,

Voices with nothing to say.

Some feel that life's a favour,

While some don't have the time.

Wash up and kiss the alter,

All hail the mighty father,

but love will keep you blind.

Same questions we keep asking,

Won't hear the answers cause we're scared of what we'll find

We try and compensate through our troubled faith that should keep us safe

and keep searching for a sign.

Some searching to find

That love (life?) with a new piece of mind.

And still still we march further away,

Singing our songs of yesterday.

While so much still stands in our way,

Voices with nothing to say.

There wont be another day, the (no?) changing of the seasons,

And no one's gonna save us from the lies.

The greatest story ever told,

Is only what you make it.

There will be struggle and fear,

All by design

And still we march further away (We've been so logicated)

Singing our songs of yesterday (Nothing's got all the point, the blame?)

While so much still stands in our way (Yeahhhh!)

Voices with nothing to say

Today I'm going to talk about the WORLD's MOST UNDERRATED DRUMMERS :)

Dominic Howard :) The Muse drummer. His stuff may sound simple, but once you throw in all those extra accents and tricky snarebacks, it gets pretty had to play his stuff by the book without running through it a few times at least.

Rob Bourdon, the Linkin Park drummer :) The parts that make him unique are the small little touches, and his perfectionist traits. All you need to do is watch the end of the Extended Live version of Bleed it Out to comprehend the levels of his skills.

His chops are tight, fills are smooth and most recently (on the One album), we discovered that he is extremely proficient on the double pedals too :) :) Mike Webber, from Planetshakers. I've seen him play Live before several times and he SIMPLY blew me away. HE MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK SO EASY =_='

6ixth

2010-02-25T19:39:00.001+08:00

Happy 6ixth x)

I can't believe its already been 6ix months

Thank you for everything...

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Love is like war,
Easy to begin but hard to end.

It's having someone to be with
Someone you can't be without
It's wanting to hold them every second
That's what its all about.

It's the happiness you feel
When everythings gone wrong
It's the way you sit there
And think of crazy love songs.

It's the sadness in your heart
When you know their not there
It's the safeness you have
When you are feeling scared.

It's the hope you have
When everythings gone
It's the dreams you hold 
When your alone.

It's having someone to talk to
When no one else is listening
It's being so in love
That nothing in your life is missing.

It's knowing I love you
And I'll love you forever
It's thinking of you every second
Thats what true love is!

i love you :)

Illuminated Secrets

2010-02-24T20:21:00.001+08:00

The other day I was watching The Secret, the documentary about positive thinking and mainly about The Secret, which is the Law of Attraction. As described in the film, the "Law of Attraction" principle posits that feelings and thoughts can attract events, from the workings of the cosmos to interactions among individuals in their physical, emotional, and professional affairs. The Law of Attraction argues that thoughts (both conscious and unconscious) can affect things outside the head, not just through motivation, but by other means.

This really got me thinking.

How powerful is the brain really? If we could just make ourselves think or believe in something, e ought to be able to do it.

Take for example, the Placebo effect.

(From Wikipedia) The placebo is a sham medical intervention. In one common placebo procedure, a patient is given an inert sugar pill, told that it may improve his/her condition, but not told that it is in fact inert. Such an intervention may cause the patient to believe the treatment will change his/her condition; and this belief does indeed sometimes have a therapeutic effect, causing the patient's condition to improve. This phenomenon is known as the placebo effect.

Other than that, there have been numerous cases where people have been able to achieve superhuman results, and they all claim that it is because of brainpower.

Many people experience the effects of brainpower passively, but don't actively invoke it in their everyday lives.

Ever heard of adrenaline?

When adrenaline is produced in your body, and noradrenaline in your brain, it propels your body to a different state of mind. It allows you to do things that normally cannot be done by yourself everyday.
For example, it allows people to run faster, carry heavier items, jump further, be practically maxihuman.

Now, some people can control their adrenaline rushes. There has been actual research proving that some people can induce adrenaline responses. It includes pupil dilation, increased heart rate, change of electric potential of the skin, raising of hairs on skin and activity of the premotor cortex of the brain.

Lets move on to hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a mental state (state theory) or set of attitudes and beliefs (non-state theory) usually induced by a procedure known as a hypnotic induction, which is commonly composed of a series of preliminary instructions and suggestions.

Many famous sports figures like Tiger Woods (no, not in his sex life. We're talking about GOLF here) have used hypnosis to gain an edge on their competition. This is accomplished by accessing an athlete's altered conscious state and incorporating a different way of processing information.

Hypnosis has been used in investigations, the military, hypnotherapy, the medical field and countless others. This shows that the brain REALLY DOES have power and it is mind over matter.

In psychological research, scientists have proved that different thoughts give different wavelengths and positive thoughts are a 100 times more powerful that negative thoughts. They have also proved that repetitive thoughts can elevate the brain level and increase the perception on human beings and their senses, as well as their strengths while eliminating their weaknesses.

People with acute fear of heights have gone cliff jumping after perfecting their thoughts to decrease their fear and empower themselves.

Countless feats have been performed with an elevated and concentrated state of mind. If people could only learn to harness their brain power...

Like I said. I'm not perfect.

2010-02-13T19:35:00.001+08:00

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go and throw it all away
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing left for me to do

I feel it burn inside, burning me like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar

Finally, together we were destined, I know what's best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me, someone listen, why aren't you listening

I hear them telling me who they think I should be
Why won't they leave me alone
I can't deny it I try to fight it
But I'm losing control

Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushing me away

I'm sorry I'm bad I'm sorry you're blue
I'm sorry about all the things I said to you
And I know I can't take it back
I love how you kiss, I love all your sounds,
and baby the way you make my world go round
And I just wanted to say I'm sorry

Just when you thought it was over
The sky turned black and we all fell to Earth
Dead in our tracks, we were frozen in fact
Choking to breathe, then came the seas
Wash away impurities, wash away all that couldn’t be

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

Edge won the Royal Rumble 2010. THAT I can believe. But not if he was out for SEVEN months. But Cena did most of the dirty work for him, true. Now what's gonna happen? He's gonna headlne Wrestlemania in 50 days with no recent storyline. Which could be a good thing too actually... They can mould him into ANYTHING they want. Cause now that Legacy looks over, he and Randy could actually become Rated-RKO again and go against Legacy and maybe destroy this version of DX, y'know... just to spice things up a bit? Then by Wrestlemania, Randy could have the title and its a WWE Championship Tornado Tag.... Where it's RRKO vs Legacy but in the end Edge pins Randy to get the title, but lose the match? Then WE COULD SEE THE MCMAHON'S GET INVOLVED AGAIN! :D

Speaking of wrestling... I read the

AGAIN. It's A REALLY good book. And even non-wrestling fans will love Foley's sense of humour :)

DOWN WILL BE RECORDING THEIR FOURTH ALBUM! DOWN WILL BE RECORDING THEIR FOURTH ALBUM! :D:D:D:D:D

This is CERTAINLY good news, probably the best I've heard regarding the music scene since the passing of the Rev (WHO LOVED PANTERA'S MUSIC) (AND TWO PANTERA MEMBERS ARE IN DOWN)(AND I SIMPLY LOVE DOWN TOO!!!)

On Saturday, I REALLY had a good time at the Kiwanis Children's Day, where some of us (KYC participants) took kids around Sunway :)

I shall let the pictures tell thousands of words :P

AND YES WE ARE SO DEPRIVED ;)

(NO! I NOT PEDO! :P HE WANTED TO SIT ON MY LAP xD)

and so yes... It was a blissful day :) and thanks for the pics Keith :D

and if we were to HAVE a list... What would it be leh?

(✔) In A Rollercoaster

(✔) Under the rain

(✔) After midnight

( ) Underwater? :P

Girl, you really got me now

You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'

Girl, you really got me now

You got me so I can't sleep at night

Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes

And I am taken to a place

Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings

Take up shelter in the base of my spine

Come stand a little bit closer

Breathe in and get a bit higher

You'll never know what hit you when

I get to you

Tama Power Tools Advertisement

2010-01-26T20:29:00.001+08:00

Not many people know this but recently, after the Overdose gig, where I broke 3 sticks, I think and overdose ON RED BULL :P I switched from Zildjian sticks to Tama Power Tools.

And man. Was. I. Blown. Away.

I've been using Zildjian since I was around 9 or so?

And to me they were like bloody awesome. I hated Vic Furth for their sizes, and Zildjian was extremely light.

Then... I discovered. Power Tools. Not only like SOOOOOO much lighter than the Zildjians... They were smoother, MADE FROM American Hickory/ Japanese Oak.... Quality stuff... And THE WOOD HARDLY COMES OFF... No matter how hard I play... My first Powertools haven't given way yet...

AWESOME STUFF :D:D:D

2010-01-26T18:58:00.001+08:00

Well

I know what I've been told

You gotta know just when to fold

But I can't do this all on my own

No, I know I'm no Superman

I'm no Superman

Aih, Dorian left Scrubs last night. The only medical drama I actually LIKED watching. Speaking of stuff I like watching, Raj's ISKL solo act is PREEETY scary, when he looks into your eyes and tells you that he loves you :P Watch out for it people, it's damn good xD

Mmm...

Check the level cause something's coming' over me

Something's got a hold of me always controlling me

It's in the audio, it's in the air, it's in the way you move

It's everywhere, it's something beautiful, that you don't know

So feel the audio, and let it go

M. Shadows and Slash feature in "Check The Level" by The Dirty Heads. You don't normally see me listening to rap but when an iconic singer and a guitar legend are in a song, no matter what genre, YOU GIVE IT A LISTEN. And... It's not too bad :P

*blushes ;)*

*shifts back to metal mode xD*

AC/DC

Wolfmother

Bullet For My Valentine

Motorhead

Them Crooked Vultures

Biffy Clyro

Megadeth

DOWNLOADFEST IS GONNA HAVE ALL OF THEM! WHY CAN'T SUNBURST INVITE SUMMORE METAL.... (NOPE KORN ISN'T METAL!!!!! SCREW CENSORSHIP)!!!!!!!

For Scorpions it will likely be their last tour as they're retiring after 45 years... AIH.

IF Malaysia would ever have a damn good fest... this would be my plan. Let's say, 4 days, 4 nights.

The REALLY awesome ones:

Bullet For My Valentine
Megadeth

In the arithmethic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

2010-01-24T14:56:00.001+08:00

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." - Sophocles

How do you define love?

Some say it's mysterious, magical, complex, difficult, imaginary, thought-provoking, inspirational, intuitional, joyous, immeasurable, ecstasy, and undefinable. Perhaps.

We were given: Two hands to hold. To legs to walk. Two eyes to see. Two ears to listen. But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I know I may not be perfect. And I'm the only thing that keeps you from being perfect. But that's what makes us whole. In the past month I've done lots of things. And, with so many things going on, itss hard to keep track of every thing. And I've wronged you so many times in the past. But for some reason you keep forgiving me. I piss you off so much, and yet, you tell me that I don't have to change for you.

You're worth so much

It'll never be enough to see what you have to give

How beautiful you are

You've been there for me when I needed you. But I've not done the same for you. And that I sincerely regret. I've broken my promises. Not done stuff for you that you asked me to do. All when I should have.

Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it.

Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.

I know I'm unbearable most of the time.

Yet, thank you for loving me.

Albeit all my mistakes, my errors, things unforgivable.

You understand me so well.

It's easy to talk to you.

I love you.

Even when there's friction between us, you hear me out. I love you for appreciating me as who I am

Not who you want me to be

I love you for your gentle touch, for being my dear friend, and the best companion I could ever dream of.

But, just the thought of you brightens my day up. Being without you kills me inside. Cause you fortify me.

Thank you.

Happy 5th month darling :)

Everything's so blurry

And everyone's so fake

And everybody's so empty

And everything is so messed up

Without you

I cannot live at all

My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

Looking into your eyes

I see all I want to be

And I don't want it to end

I only know I have an angel with me now

When I fall asleep you're all that I see

You read my thoughts and all of my prayers

I wish I could mean to you all that you mean to me

You're the treasure I could never hope to find at the end of the rainbow.
The light at the end of the tunnel.
Unimaginable. Yet it's happening.

We're together for a reason.
Though we may not last forever
I believe you're meant to be in my life
And the future? Who knows?

School 2010

2010-01-23T14:50:00.001+08:00

I haven't done a post on my school life in 2010 yet :)

So I guess I'll do it now...

I've got pretty good teachers this year,

Shabnam, Intan, Kumari (TOO MUCH WORK :P), Rosdiana, Nathan and Saleh (Natsaleh xD), Renuga,

and... I've also got Peter :S....

This year I'll be the Lower Sec CF 09/10 president and on Friday got elected Lower Sec LIDRA president... YAY NO MORE VICE PRESIDENT-SHIP xD

I always say that its the VP that does all the work. And its true. I have experience :P Don't worry lah Sann and Carmen, I won't bully ;)

This year I have high hopes for LIDRA, seeing as there are a few new interesting (small and cute and fuzzy ;)) faces in here... We've only got like 8 members back from last year, out of the forty people, and we have over 20 form ones... But even yesterday as Han Wei and I wer scouting, we could already see potential :)

The voting was pretty cool xD

And the build up was even worse...

You see... Shankar has always been on my back since Form One about why he never gets any roles in LIDRA. In Form One, I beat him to the F1 Rep spot cause Mdm Kamala decided that we wouldn't need an election for the post.

In Form Two, I beat him and Sara Ann in a landslide victory, probably due to the fact that I acted in the previous years concert (AND I WAS TALLER :P)...

And this time round...

Even before LIDRA started we were already running through the crowd, garnering votes and pubilicising ourselves, I think it helped that I mix a lot with Form Ones and Two's :P

Kristen's brother, Zach, is in LIDRA this year as well :)

Shankar had the backing of his classmates though... But we were both afraid of Han Wei in case he got nominated... We thought he would probably pull most of the votes...

Back to the story, I got nominated first,after some free publicity from Mdm Kamala that I had been a very good vice-president (IT'S THE TRUTH ;) )

followed by Carmen...

And the moment of truth....

Shankar stood up and told Madam Kamala that Yeow wanted to nominate someone,

Yeow looked at him for a moment, smiled

...

....

...

and said...

...

Han Wei.

Shankar's jaw dropped and Han Wei looked stunned for a moment, but eventually trudged out.

*Wise words of Shankar Loganathan : If I was back stabbed by Han Wei, I could understand, he's shorter than me, If I was backstabbed by Isaac, I could understand, he's half Chinese xD, if I was backstabbed by Ye Hern, I could understand, he's a donkey.. BUT YEOW!!!/????!!!@#$%^&!@$%^&*

I got 27 votes, Carmen got 22 and Han Wei got...

Four.

Four votes only.

For the funniest guy in Form 3. Seriously.

I guess the Form One's didn't know him :S

then Shankar decided to run for Form 3 rep :P

And Han Wei beat him to it. Again :S

I feel sorry for Shankar. Aih.

HAHAHAHAHA

I'm missing cookie at the moment :(

Sigh.

imy.

2010-01-22T22:15:00.001+08:00

To see you when I wake up

is a gift I didn't think could be real.

To know that you feel the same as I do

is a three-fold, utopian dream.

You do something to me that I can't explain.

So would I be out of line if I said,

I miss you.

I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time, so haunting every time.

2010-01-21T19:41:00.001+08:00

Thoughts and memories won't be enough

My need for you is only growing stronger

Love is like the last day you'll ever live

So why lose that spark

When our paths begin to merge?

All the pain in this world won't stop us now

For we have each other

All the hate in this world can't tear us apart

I wonder what she dreams about?

Perhaps my arms that hold her tight?

Or the love that warms her heart?

Peaceful sleep till dawns new day

...

2010-01-19T18:33:00.001+08:00

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am home again

Whenever I'm alone with you

You make me feel like I am whole again
What would I give to behold

The smile, the face of love?

You never left me

The rising sun will always speak your name

How can I bear this any longer

Take me away

Arms stretched out only to hold separation

Take me away

i love you.

one more week.

Who I Want To Replace The Rev on the New A7x Album

2010-01-18T21:33:00.001+08:00

Well... Shadows has said that they would still keep recording even though *sob sob* Jimmy died...

and since they haven't completed the album, they would definitely be needing drummers to fill for the Rev, no?

These are the drummers, in no particular order, that I believe can at least PARTIALLY cover for the awesomeness that was the Rev...

Need I say more? This Slipknot drummer is lightning fast, and though a lot of people claim that his drumming style is monotonous, albeit speedy, Avenged Sevenfold have been at their best while chugging along in songs like Trashed and Scattered and Burn It Down.

Cobus Potgieter

Next up, an extremely very versatile drummer from South Africa, made famous by Youtube, Cobus, also known as Deedlebag. Anyone who's seen this young drummer play, especially in his Avenged Sevenfold covers of Afterlife and so on. WITH A SINGLE PEDAL. :)

Travis Smith

Trivium's drummer of ten years till he left the band in 2009. Just look at his amazingly fast footwork :S JEALOUS :P HAHAHAHAHA A lot of his cymbals are the same as The Rev's, like his AAX hats and HHX Stage Crashes.

R.I.P. The Rev.

Frozen Epic (Isaac Miranda Megamix) (3 minutes 53 seconds, 3 MB plus)

and (edit 18/1)

Shik Shak Shok (for Emily and Chloe, our backup if the megamix isn't accepted)

Yes, yes, more than 10 hours spent yesterday and today on this 3 minute 53 second track...

AND ITS STILL NOT PERFECT...

My version two was AWESOME and I have it in my phone and I think its WAYYY better than version two point five but I deleted the source data codes and now I can't get it to work in either Audacity or Virtual DJ

:(

Looks like some kind of inflamed bone xD

Ahh... The wonders of Virtual DJ :D:D

...And this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.

Remastering, remixing, post production....

Sound engineering.

HELLO 2010!!!

2010-01-13T19:47:00.000+08:00

A new year, a fresh start, a new layout, a new header, new friends...

xD

I know I haven't blogged in a while... Probably will this weekend x)

A- Levels.

2010-01-05T17:49:00.001+08:00

A-levels (Advanced Levels) are courses which are taken by British 16-18 year-olds who hold 'advanced' levels of intelligence. The courses are the way to get to university and thus set their proud owner up for a life of unimaginable riches, unimaginable luxury and unimaginable sex. All because you have A-levels.

Really, a better question would be "what doesn't one do in an A level?" Once an eager young mind decides to seek further education, a whole new world of learning is opened up to the candidate. Maybe you wish to be a lawyer and so you can study law. A budding young entrepreneur can take business studies or an aspiring reality TV star can try performing arts. Don't know what you want to be in the future and would rather sit on your arse watching TV all day? Then media studies could be the course for you.

Once you actually start the course, you will be required to attend some classes. This may sound worryingly like school, but don't you fret. Unlike at school, lessons don't fill up the whole day. Pick your courses wisely and you needn't get up in the morning. This setup gives you plenty of time to relax in the cafeteria or take up smoking. A student is not even legally required to pursue education to this level, so if you don't feel like turning up to all your lectures, it's no problem. Just tell your teacher you were too stoned and all will be ok.

The assessment of the course will comprise several pieces of coursework and exams at the end of each year. The coursework is designed as a task to test the students' capabilities with Google. So get on the internet and practice! Wait, you're already here! Well done, my friend, that A grade is practically in the bag.

Who takes A-levels?

16-18 year olds. We went through this in the opening paragraph. If you're going to get more than a B in your A-levels, then you're going to have to pay a little bit more attention.

Of course the A-level period is the most vital age of any young person's life, as anyone who has watched Skins would attest. These are the halcyon days where you decide to become emo, or create a new look revolving around always wearing a beanie hat. While, in class, you're experimenting with acids and alkaline metals for your chemistry coursework, outside of class, you're also experimenting with marijuana and your sexuality, all whilst listening to the music of Gossip.

There are two options open to prospective students

School Sixth Form

Once you finish school at 17, no doubt with excellent SPM results, you can celebrate your departure by throwing eggs at teachers or setting off fire alarms. That's how one says farewell to such an important period in life.

But wait, you might be coming back after the summer! Many secondary schools nowadays give their students the opportunity to stay on and join their sixth form. Here, you'll be the kings of the school. You'll get to be taught law by your old PE teacher, who you can openly mock for her lack of qualifications and obvious lesbianism. Furthermore, the little kids will all look up to you, because someday, you'll have A-levels.

Sixth Form College

If your school doesn't have its own sixth form, or you merely never want to step inside that hell-hole again, then sixth form college may be for you. Here there'll be no pesky little kids around you, no school uniforms, no reminders of past failures. There will instead be a more informal, relaxed atmosphere. There will be specialist teachers, like Steve the politics expert and Karen the classical civilisation graduate, who have been forced into teaching to justify their ridiculous degree choices. These people aren't just your teachers; they're your friends too.

Sixth form college is also a chance to start afresh. Your new college can be the launching pad for a new you, with a new look, with new friends and a newfound appreciation for nu rave music. Get a haircut, wear a cardigan or become annoyingly anti-war and liberal; however you do it, the world is your oyster at sixth form college.

What requirements are there?

The A-level course is not for just anyone - it is for the elite. To get into a high-quality sixth-form you must attain five or more A*-C grades at your SPM, a feat achieved by only 50% candidates. To get into a bog-standard, drug-addled, slightly dangerous, sixth form you'll probably get in with a couple of Es. Otherwise, a few SPM A's will be sufficient.

The most important requirement for undertaking A-Levels is a desire to learn (don't worry, you can always fake this). When registering, you may be required to attend an informal interview in which it is recommended to express some interest in your subjects. Simply telling the inquisitor that you're "not bovvered", while unquestionably witty, is a risky strategy.

So, once one has A-levels, what happens next?

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life! A-levels are your ticket to university. With that piece of paper, you can swat aside those GNVQ chumps and walk straight into your halls of residence with your head held high. With your A-levels you can impress your new peers, your new lecturers and the opposite sex. Within three years you will have graduated and will have the world of employment at your feet, begging for your advanced levels of expertise.

So, when you're old and your grandchild says to you "Grandad, how come you're so rich and successful and have a hot young replacement for granny?" you can tell them, "Kid, I have A-levels."

Just a little something... 81st post!

2010-01-03T20:52:00.001+08:00

Just a little something..

So I'm at work yesterday and the mailclerk starts handing out letters from upper management. At this point, I'm thinking "Oh crap, how am I gonna tell my family I got laid off?" Fortunately, I'm only 29 years old. You'll understand when you read the letter.

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW programme (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring to the attention of your Manager. They have been trained to give you all the SHIT you can get.

School tomorrow.

Of music related news, Katy Perry and a TAG :D

FROM METALHAMMER

When lyrics are nailed properly, they can make you feel empathy, a renewed sense of self-worth and aspire to greatness. When they’re bobbins, they get ridiculed in these posts.

Limp Bizkit – ‘My Generation’: “Hey kids, take my advice, you don’t want to step into a big pile of shit.”

You bastard, Durst. That was on our list of things we were going to do today.

Insane Clown Posse – ‘Homies’: “If they really missed you so much, why don’t they just call a muthafucka?”

We were unaware there was such a service but next time we’re missing our nearest and dearest, we’ll be sure to call a motherfucker.

Faster Pussycat – ‘Bathroom Wall’: “Got your number off the bathroom wall and I decided it was about time I made the call.”

Because classified ads are just for weirdos and perverts. We tried this once, the woman who turned up looked like Keith Chegwin. We won’t be doing it again.

Whitesnake – ‘I Need Love’: “I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied. I need love”

You mean sex, don’t you David?

Buckcherrry – ‘Child Called’: “Mother I really hate the way your treat me like no other/And I refuse to be your victim!”

Josh, you’re 38 mate.

Avenged Sevenfold – ‘Seize the Day’: “I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?”

You know you’ve answered your own question there, right?

Whitesnake – She’s A Woman: “She’s A Woman”

That’s a relief.

Metalhammer ARE bored, don't you think? :D I ROTFLOL'd at the Whitesnake one :P

Katy Perry. I Kissed A Girl. POWER METALLL :::!!! YEAAAHHHH!!!! :P HAHAHAHAHA

Linkin Park, who are working on the follow-up to 2007's Minutes To Midnight with producer Rick Rubin (Slayer, Gossip) are reportedly using keyboards and programmed drums more on the as-yet-untitled disc than they ever have before.

Mike Shinoda told Spin.com the band are about "halfway done" their fourth album, and he says Linkin Park are working to "redefine" themselves on this release.

"I feel like on [2000's] Hybrid Theory we wanted to introduce ourselves to the world with a certain sound," he said. "Then on [2003's] Meteora we were trying to show that we weren't a fluke and we could do the sound that made us successful a second time.

"By the time we got to Minutes To Midnight, we wanted to break down that sound and go outside the confines. Now that we've done that, we feel like we can do anything."

Shinoda told Spin.com while he thinks it's "hard" to describe what the new material sounds like, he says it's "more beat-driven" and works with keyboards and drum machines more than the band's previous work.

"It sounds brand new," he said. "The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments and computer programs.

"Then when you get in the position of being able to use almost any of it — that's what we did on Minutes To Midnight. We wanted to play with as many instruments and sounds as we could."

Shinoda previously described the disc as "grandiose insanity".

Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub,

Eating seeds as a pastime activity,

The toxicity of our city, of our city,

No, what do you own, the world?

How do you own disorder, disorder,

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,

Sacred silence and sleep,

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,

Disorder, disorder, disorder.

More wood for their fires, loud neighbors,

Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck,

Eating seeds as a pastime activity,

The toxicity of our city, of our city,

No, what do you own, the world?

How do you own disorder, disorder,

Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,

Sacred silence and sleep,

Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,

BYE BYE 2009....

2009-12-31T11:11:00.001+08:00

What as happened this year? A lot I guess...

I started out the year as a monitor, ended it as a student, got into major trouble, pontenged without getting caught, pontenged GETTING CAUGHT, got a drumset, traded it for a guitar, started my own business (THAT FUNDED THE DRUMSET), fell in love, performed, slept under the stars, debated, PLAYED IN MUD, talked in mud, jumped in mud, Ahhh.. mud...

As a person, I know I've changed, alot... From several perspectives, I'd like to think that I've matured and all.. But the truth is.. I've only changed slightly, I've not evolved into someone else. I grew over three inches this year :D I'm still the metalhead that I was last year, I may not be that much into football anymore but still... GO LIVERPOOL :) I know I've become a better guitarist, and a much better drummer (though my timing still sucks :P) I'm not as hyper as I was before.. Till I let my guard down at KYC and realised that it's much more fun like this.. Carefree..

Okay...

Firstly, to my classmates, I haven't seen you in a while so its gonna be hard to blog about you guys, but still, thanks for everything,the cooking, THE POKER, the stuff we did in class, I think it's safe to say that it was real fun.. WE CAN MAKE 2010 TOP IT, NO?

A special mention goes out to Cherng, Emily and Chloe.. you guys have really helped me through everything, talked me through stuff and... Well yeah :)

Next, to my friends at T.C.C... Mike, Hannah, Trina, Jason, Daniel, CM and Keith, thanks for helping me get settled in... I know at first I was a bit apprehensive and uptight but I know that in the end I loosened up and yeah, you guys sure as hell know how to have fun!

And... KYC!! I really miss you guys wei... Chris and Dorothy ESPECIALLY, Rebecca, Keith and Matt as well... Even though it was so short... I really felt a bond with you guys... Something special.. And I'm DEFINITELY coming next year... Chris... Have fun in the U.S. kay?... DON"T FORGET US xP

I'll miss 2009... BUT HERE'S TO 2010 BEING A ROCKING ONE! :D

oh... and to Cookie especially...

Your impact on my life will always be there

And those magical times we've spent together will definitely be hard to replace

You've taught me so much

It's passed so quickly

Don't you ever wish that you could rewind time?

I love you :)

I still do.

From here to eternity we begin understanding

From here to eternity

I see who you are and who else can compare

I meant what I said, I promised to stand by your side

Until the end, that's where we begin

Until the end, that's where we begin

From here to eternity we begin understanding

It is our hearts that define what has meaning in life

Some will ask how can this be

But it was you who made me feel

For so long I

Have felt alone

Content to live with unrest

Longing faded into countless

Nights that buried my

Weary heart

You brought an end

To this dead hour

And meaning to

A calloused life

Ascend above the ashes of the worlds I once knew

Ascendancy is the only thing this will prove

The wind of life and air from above smells of death.

Angels sing of the end.

There's nothing you say and nothing you try can change time.

I don’t want to know.

And I don’t want to see you in this place.

Your kind is a disgrace as I spit in your face.

And I don’t want to hear anymore.

A friend is fucked with while he’s having fun on the dance floor.

Get the fuck out of here now.

Come on you kids, stand your ground.

This is your show, it’s your family.

All of my friends there for me.

There’s four-hundred more of us then them.

So kick them out.

Keep it positive.

Keep it real.

Keep it true.

Together with my friends.

I’ll be there for you.

Through the problems thick and thin and problems we’ll fight through.

This is to my brothers, I’ll be there for you.

Through the problems thick and thin and problems we’ll fight through.

This is to my family.

I’ll be there for you.

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and auld lang syne :P HAHAHAHAHA

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

R.I.P. James Owen Sullivan A.K.A The Rev Bartholomew Plague

2009-12-30T19:15:00.001+08:00

The Rev is dead. Quite a few people know that he and Cobus (Cobus Potgieter... Go cari Youtube) are my biggest influences in drumming.... So yes... It's a very sad day... *PROPER POST COMING UP SOON I PROMISE*

Damn talented guy, with an amazing voice (Go listen to Afterlife, Critical Acclaim and A Little Piece of Heaven *which he wrote*) and ALSO HIS AWESOME LAUGHTER...

His drumming was so perfect... :( I feel his loss more than MJ's leh (DON'T SHOOT ME)

Let's look at other great losses to the music industry this past decade//

Darrell Lance Abbott... Pantera anyone? Murdered WHILE playing for Damageplan... Great guitarist, no wait... AWESOME guitarist... His legacy lives on through his Seymour Duncan pickups :P and his Dean Razorbacks..

And... Lester William Polsfuss.... Pioneer of the solidbody electric... What more can I say?

16th on the Rolling Stone's Greatest Guitarists... Arguably punk's best guitarist before (AND MAYBE EVEN AFTER) Billie Joe Armstrong

How many lives will we take

How many hearts destined to break

Nowhere to run, can't escape

Full of ourselves, tied to our fate

The end is knocking

The end is knocking, yeah

I reach towards the sky I've said my goodbyes

My heart's always with you now

I won't question why so many have died

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you

This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might

take me back inside when the time is right

Of TAGGGG? :D

2009-12-26T18:24:00.001+08:00
