Maybe we can play guitar hero



A Saturday Afternoon

I can play a few notes on the guitar. But I can sing, a bit…

He plays the guitar, but he can’t sing.

My lyrics have no melodies

His melodies have no lyrics.

I guess its about time we teamed up. And we came up with a lame song in 2 days waiting to be recorded for clearer sound quality and stuff..

All it took to inspire:

-an air-conditioned living room

-two charming neighbours we should have met 7 years ago

-sitting beside the river with a guitar and an mp3 with voice recording

 From now on i will always bring my leather bag, a pencil and my lyrics-book along in case something useful comes along and he will always think of chord progressions and gut-busting solos…

An agreement though: no lyrics for the sake of lyrics and no chords for the sake of chords.. wadeva dat means

ok ok chem SPA skill A must study..

The Indie Category will come alive soon. I promise it will be worthwhile. I am afraid though that my content may be ripped and pasted somwhere else because it is seriously going to be my own sweat’s worth of effort. If you’re getting my drift; this ain’t going to be a rookie post.

___________________________________________________________________

Been feeling super down because of my blocks and the heap of work from school and cca, yes, even in the beginning of the term. While I may not be doing well for my chemistry and mathematics, at least biology follows the logical rule:

Results are directly proportionate to the effort put in

I topped the cohort in my Paper 2. I scored MAX marks for one essay question.

“You did marvelous” – Bio Teacher

“Excellent effort and performance” – Marker

Bio made my day. I did not expect such results but I am grateful to the Almighty. Very Grateful.

I’m not trying to boast but I’m trying to make clear that I can achieve ‘miracles’ [ my ass! I put in friggin alot of effort and calling it a miracle is underestimating my capabilities. No offense, God] so that when people force me to change my path, at least my peers and pals know they are making the wrong decision. COME ON!

_________________________________________________________

 Theory for Love-seekers [ I am not one but this is good so i must share]:

Be like the fish who wanted to be a cactus in a desert. On the cactus was a flower and the flower was a symbol of undying love to the desert. And the desert, being lonely and barren, appreciated the flower more than a beautiful forest or a garden could. If only there were more cacti =]

Ponder and figure out what it means yourself.

Pardon my sentimental self if I did sound that way. I am not, really.

Cheerio!

ohkay.. imagine that was the sound of the guitar.

albeit no so convincing.

COMBINED POST.

Uncategorized part:

NIE trip was an eye opener. Its good to meet people from outside every now and then if you are surrounded by YourJumpingChildren students everyday. Apart from that, and the constant social engagements, I was feeling guilty – the blocks are just days maybe hours away!

Its very difficult to study with the cold weather, amazingly comfortable bed and food just steps away but school isn’t that condusive either. But slog I did, with a few precious breaks including one I shared with aznor playing the gits and singing our tests-blues away for ten five minutes.

Interesting stuff coming up:

VJC musicfest? (for outsiders, invites only)

Peepshow’s EP

Pre-U Seminar

NS medical checkup [measure of my current manhood level]

Champions League!

Last Few EPL matches

Gigs

Indie part:

SOOOOOooo sorry.. I have not the time to do the compilation yet

AND you might want to lookout for a debate between Underground and Mainstream which I will post once blocks are over.

AND by the way, indie does not ALWAYS equate to underground, or so i have heard

Till then, Cheerio! =)

Orritey! Methinks it would be great to share me love for some quality music. [The writer does not encourage the illegal downloading of music! Baad Baaad.. Don't do it!]

And so, you may be soon introduced to some good, mind-blowing, gut-bursting melodies that you do not usually get in the mainstream.

As for now.. hold on just a little while longer while I consolidate information and links aye?

Cheerio!

Blocks are in a week’s time and what did I do?

Read New-Scientist, watch Berkeley Uni. of Ca. lectures on organic chemistry and slept.

Its just Saturday, but i shouldn’t have such a mentality considering I am under-performing and need to get As in a week. Pragmatically, I am aiming for As but expecting a C/D for MLL [ considering I haven't got my magic touch back] but B’s for Maths, Chem and Bio [ hopefully].  A certain someone realised I am writing in a better form of English; the reason being I want to try the unconventional though I may have made a few grammatical errors which just proves I need to practice more =)

‘A’ Levels results 2008

I got back the H1 ML results today

and im contented. I do however wish to apologize sincerely if I may have hurt anyone’s feelings during conversations; I may have unknowingly done so if I answered the oh-so-famous “How well did you do?” question. No hard feelings yea? Nonetheless, no matter the results, we must continue to work harder for our papers and do better than the seniors meaning we have to start revision pronto.

To a friend, I wish to say I never enjoyed watching you climb up and down stairs as well as do push-ups and leg raises while I sit comfortably. If it may alleviate thy heartache, i may join thee in thine untimely punishments. Graciously, I bow in apology.

Korn is gone. Rashes still stay. New knee injury.

As a result, i may be seen hugging poles or using surroundings for support; do not be alarmed.

 Buying polaroid film soon! Each cartridge costs $40. Estimating around 15 films in one? I have NO idea.. However, if you do wish to capture yourself in one of these timeless beauties, please donate $1 for each photo to cover the not-producing-anymore-so-very-expensive cost of each film.

Good luck for your upcoming blocks lads and lassies. Cheerio =)
