Beck a.k.a The Mongolian Chop Squad

I've just finished watching the whole season of the anime, "Beck" or better known as "Mongolian Chop Squad". The characters in there are so captivating that I felt sad when the last episode ended.It was about the life changing experiences that happened to this young Japanese boy called Koyuki. It all started with him finding a lost weird looking dog. Its owner, Ray, apparently a former band member of a disbanded Japanese band(lim peh forget the name) and at the same time happened to know one of the member of Dying Breed, Eddie (not van halen pls!) was delighted of course. This is also the time when Koyuki was appalled by the music Ray plays and enchanted by the way Ray plays his guitar. And then Koyuki went on to find himself on a journey of rock n roll, guitar playing and the perils faced when record deals and the danger of losing their own lives plays an important part not just on their music and survival, but also on the romance that is brewing between Koyuki and Ray's sister, Maho-chan.


Watch it here


Lim peh can feel for the characters, especially Koyuki because once u pick up the guitar and have a passion for it, its never going to be the same. I'm not talking about dreams of being in a glam rock band or enjoying the rock n roll lifestyle of LSDs, beers and chicks. Its about the feeling, a sense of satisfaction of playing music and not be embarrassed of what genre i'm playing. Koyuki went through a lot of hard work, running from places to places, envying guitarists from around his neighbourhood and also from his school. Along the way, he learnt through many teachers, embarrassing himself in front of auditions but still came out strong as an important member and of course a very brave and passionate soul of Beck

Prom night was fun lah. That hotel room Dinah booked in Ritz Carlton was really a sweet suite. Feel like a country pumpkin when i went there coz everything in there was awesome. The scenery up there was breathtaking, the bathroom of that suite was even better. Elvan n wei sin had alot of fun in that bathroom heh! After that was prom night liao lor. Then finish liao, i decided to go for the post prom party. Never been to clubbing before, so i just try. DXO was pretty small and the band playing there was like shit. The singer was asking more ppl to come n mosh at the dance floor, but no one was that enthu lah.
