Hmm..

Hello!
Its been ages since i last blog huh?
Damn it! I'm losing my readers!
But come to think of it, who would really want to read about the life of an average joe?

Anyway, i stumbled onto this website which amazes me because it really do justice to my motto, "Think Simple". Simple diagrams like them speaks more than i write on this post. Go and visit it @ http://www.indexed.blogspot.com .

I finally bought a new guitar. Unfortunately it isn't Ibanez JEM. My guitar belongs to the family of Ibanez Prestige series. Although its pickups are stock pickups from Ibanez, i love its tremolo lock. Beautiful, sexy and well polished, the Edge Pro tremolo lock is not to be messed with. It keeps ur strings in tune even after hours and hours of wanking with the whammy bar.

Headstock of my new axe. You can see my tremolo lock.















My axe's bed!














The bridge part of the tremolo lock. I know its not parallel to the body but luckily the tech guy helped me fix this.















Welcome to the family, heh.














Well, of course like every new stuff i bought, i have difficulties using the guitar initially. This machine is more complex than my old guitar because my old guitar is a fixed bridge while my new one is a floating bridge. Therefore, tuning the strings is a hassle and takes more time now and when changing a new set of strings, i have to be extra careful because im using more tools to change. When i first started using it, i have to tune it every 30 mins and it was extremely annoying but soon after it got better after the guitar tech guy taught me the essentials. =D

Ok, enough of guitars lah. I'm always talking about guitars, music and more music and it probably bore most of you off because i know you want to know more about my life. haha! Anyway, clement and I are going to work for the last week next week. I've never regretted going there to work and in fact im so grateful to be there. Besides the experiences gained from there, it has also showed me that the society is not that bad as it seems. The people are so nice, really nice(maybe because we are still kids, heh) but we do quarrel with them but in a more slap-stick manner, like Dilbert comics and the office show on arts central.

Probably going back there when i finish NS.

Anyway, i watched 2 new films this month. Both of them pretty sucked


I know nothing about Ghostrider being a character from Marvel comics but that doesnt mean i will not understand the movie. The movie has an extremely lousy plot and besides Nicholas Cage, i dont like any actors/actresses in there at all. The only thing that complements it is the CGI effects. Dont watch it unless you are a big fan of CGI effects.





Jack Neo's Just Follow Law did not do as good as his previous films. It is about 2 person, Lee Teng Zui(Gurmit Singh) and Tanya Chew(Fann Wong) exchanging their souls due to a freak accident. Along the way, the ironies of being a public servant and an insight look of the workings of endless hierarchies in a govt office is slowly pointed out to the audiences from the 2 main characters and their acquaintances using parodies and slap-stick humor. Personally, i think the parodies in this movie is really pathetic and some of them are really old. Jokes such as the CCTV-Gomez thing was used in a very distasteful manner. But of course there are a few memorable and humorous ones which would still tickle our funny bone. On the brighter side of things, the performance by the actors in the film managed to save the film. It was very fresh watching Fann Wong acting a very different character and personality in her years in showbiz. I especially like her crying scene at the last part of the movie because it was so raw, so honest. Love it. This time round, memorable figures like Mark Lee and Patricia Mok were not present but they were replaced by the quirky, law abiding Indian security guard. Watch out for him! Even though the plot manages to bring its point out, it has some difficulties ending the story. The ending was really horrible, it was as if the scriptwriter wanted a twisted ending but decided that he couldn't think of one, so he finishes off with a happy ending. bah! Watch it if you have money to spare.

I recommend anyone who is reading this to watch these movies. Its a must WATCH!

and also not to forget Donnie Darko. Heh! Im going to jchua hse to watch it tonight, yay!

Mosaic Music Festival

Ok this is a badly edited picture. You can see the uneven edges and the slanted border. Well its my first time using Adobe Photoshop since 10000 years ago.

And finally,
I have been waiting for this for 2 years already! This year, the festival will feature both local and foreign talents through jazz, world music, soul, electroclash, hip-hop and more. WOW! But i hate hip-hop and some of the traditional music from certain groups but there's always other artists that would compliment that! On top of that, i get to watch Rani Singam perform! She's a lawyer turned full time singer and was once dubbed the Nightingale of Raffles Girls' School! Our very own local jazz singer. BUT, i was so shocked when i heard that she's performing for the kids! WHAT THE HELL! =( . C'mon do u think the kids will actually appreciate and enjoy the jazz musician? Bah!

Call sistic now and buy those tickets!

http://www.mosaicmusicfestival.com















Just like how Singapore needs more street musicians, we need more street graffiti like this and this. They could liven up our streets with more improv-actors walking around, like them.

And..
Before I die or anyone who is reading this,
All of u should go watch the movie Donnie Darko. I have not watched it yet but its on the list of top 55 things u should do before u die and the movie's website is uber awesome. Winner of numerous awards, you should not hesitate to visit it.















Nice sia!

latest bites :)

I've realised why i should'nt change my blog layout and stick with the customized layouts done by blogger. New layouts from blogskins.com makes my life more difficult than ever. I can't even edit the HTML codes through the blogger's new tool, thus this new layout will remain as it is.

I still felt dejected and frustrated when I saw the price tag for the Ibanez JEM. How in the world would I be able to afford it? A couple of weeks ago, I went for my first day of work, thinking that at the end of the month I would be able to save up enough to buy that guitar.

"Finally, a job that is reliable and stable."

Fresh out of school, I thought having a job would be good before enlisting into the army. I went there with abit of over-enthusiasm because I was bent on working to my objective, my new electric guitar.

Still grinning, I decided to drop by at Swee Lee Music Store at Bras Basah Complex after work. I just could'nt stop thinking about it. My fanactism was so powerful that I could'nt control the urge of going there. I fantasized about how I would be able to produce the colourful, warm and thick tone Steve Vai always manages to produce.

There it was, gleaming in its whiteness. The pine tree of life on the fretboard was glowing, as if it was motioning me over. Its surreal scream and tone transcends all of human imagination.

Then, I saw this piece of paper hanging on the tuning pegs. It was'nt supposed to be there. I thought if this were to be part of the guitar, then it would be a fashion disaster for the looks department. The content on the paper seems to be clearer with every blink of my eyes.

It was like how a boy would feel when a girl rejected him. That feeling of lost, unwanted and broken soon overwhelmed me.

Tears soon welled up in my eyes...

ok. i was bored.

My Love.......so far away.

ka ni na bu chao chee bye....

Yes.
U cannot see meh.
I damn angry now.

I saw my first love
My heart melts
My world stopped moving at that instance.

I watched how she stood there.
Gleaming
Her skin so smooth, so pale.
Her body so solid, very slim and beautiful.

I like the way she turns me on.
But when i saw her with another man,
I was feeling damn cheebye.

ka ni nah bei chao chee bye - i thought.

all my love for her gone down the drain.
bitch
I've waited for her for years.

Everyday, i will travel to Bugis just to see her
I will stand by the window, watching her,
standing there minding her own business.

Many men lust for her.
but i know its just because they are damn horny.
But limpeh?
I'M FOR REAL!
I GIVE U TRUE LOVE.

I know i cannot afford to live with u.
I'm poor, i have so many problems with my family and all.
My family hates u, they hate u so much.
But i'm prepared to leave them for u.
I will work hard to live with u forever n ever.

hai.


















I just want to say

I LOVE U, IBANEZ JEM!



This is Ibanez JEM, my first love. Chio or not?













sorry people.
i know i've just wasted a few minutes of ur life. but i just wanna say i'm so pissed off with the ever increasing price of Ibanez JEM. Last year it was 1.7k, now its 4.7k. When will i ever get to play that guitar and be steve vai?

Like i said mann, i will stand at the window of the guitar shop to admire that guitar. Its designed by the legendary musician, Steve Vai. I swear by it and will never buy any other guitars mann. Waited for 1 bloody year and I'm still waiting, damn it.

=(

Chicks that rock!

This girl covered steve vai's song. can u just imagine it? She's holding an Ibanez JEM, played the full song(the crying machine) and she got more balls than me. But she made alot of mistakes here and there, her bending and vibrato was bad and she screwed up at the last part. But whatever it is, it doesnt matter. She's probably like 14 and has the damn courage to perform on stage. bravo man.

note: I would advise anyone who really want to watch this to turn down their subwoofer(but not shut it down) because its either the audio quality in the video that sucked or the band didnt do a good sound check.



for the REAL steve vai version, u can go to http://youtube.com/watch?v=SNrDWdVrnrU

Next is Vixen mann! Vixen is from the 80's and its one of the few female heavy metal bands still surviving. Steve Vai's wife, Pia Vai, was a former bass player of Vixen. \m/

Edge of the broken Heart. My favourite song mann! Too bad, i can't find their MVs anymore.


Crying


oh man. why dont they have this kind of music anymore?

Not Ready To Make Nice

This is why i love the dixie chicks so much.


Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
*(What it is you think I should)*

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

Episode 1 Part 1


Episode 1 Part 2


Episode 1 Part 3

Another long post. Really damn long man. VERY VERY LONG. Even i also buey tahan.

u can skip to the last few paragraphs if u are bored.

I'm so disturbed by the fact that Saddam Hussein has been executed. The videos I saw on msnbc.com showed a man expressing no fear at all and remained defiant even in the hour of his own execution. That defiance reminded me of Herman Goring, the 2nd in command of the Third Reich during the Nuremberg Trials. If u watched the 3 part miniseries of Nuremberg, you will get what i mean. The defiant Goring would wear sun glasses in the courtroom when a witness is presented in the court for the judge, he would not wear the earphones to listen to the testimony of the witness because he did not want to hear the translation and he strongly believes that anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany has no difference between the segregation laws in USA. That defiance brought respect to the fellow defendants(excluding Albert Speer) and boost their confidence in hope of winning the trials. With his practical and quick response to the questions asked about the crimes committed by the Nazis, the defendants won the early rounds of the trials, prompting the allies to change the course of the trials as they were afraid all defendants would be acquitted for crimes against humanity.

Despite being defiant and not remorseful, Saddam was sentenced to death by hanging, just like Herman Goring. Both of them were denied the opportunity to die a soldier's death, i.e by shooting. Both were charged with crimes against humanity, with Goring being the most extreme. Saddam was hanged eventually and Goring committed suicide much to the dismay of the allies.
Even though both committed crimes against humanity, I think both of them deserved the right to choose how they were going to die. However, i am against capital punishment because i believe the notion that no one has the right to be the bearer of death of another, no matter how serious the crime is.

I heard from the news that an Indonesian ferry has just sunk and more than 400 went missing. Its really sad to know that such tragic events can happen 2 days before a new year. The reason why i wrote about this was because I saw waves that went 3 storeys high (or the height of the ferry i was on) when I was in Thailand travelling on a medium size ferry, capable of ferrying 200 or so people. It was cool for a moment lah, some ang mohs went to the top of the ferry to sun-tan thinking that they wont get wet. But in the end, everyone was soaked. The ship didnt rocked as violently as that Indonesian ferry(choy!) but the waves was huge enough and strong enough to engulf us mann. Now it reminds me of the movie, Poisedon, in which a rouge wave capsized the cruise ship, bigger than Titanic. (dunno true or not)

Talking about the Thailand trip, it was fun, no thanks to my uncle(i went there with my uncle). I saw the nice beautiful beaches in Phuket, snorkeled there too and bargain like siao in Hat Yai. I see alot of trans in Hat Yai lor, met one sommore. I didnt know the person there was a trans because the person there looks like some hot Thai girl. Finally when we leaving the shop, my uncle gave that person small sum of tip, initially that person smiled and I was expecting a very feminine thank you. The next moment was quite shocking, coz he replied with 2 palms together said Thank You in Thai in a male voice. I wasnt disrespecting them by appearing shock, i was just shocked lah.

Everything went well in Thailand until the day when lim peh decided to buy a guitar from Hat Yai. I saw a Jem look-alike guitar made by Barracuda. I decided to buy there since its only 400 SGD there and 1700 SGD back home. I was curious why the guitar was made by Barracuda and not Ibanez and i soon realised the pickups on that guitar is not D'Marzio and the wood they used to make the guitar has different quality compared to Ibanez made Jem, thats why it cost only 400 SGD. Anyway, that guitar shop guy has alot of integrity, even though I was a potential customer. He said buying in thailand is actually more ex than Singapore because Thailand charges 200% tax. But nvm, i was too embarrased to buy from him because if i were to buy, it would be like going against good advice.

I decided to go to some old man shop. Thats where i got really pissed off. This old man told me i can't try the guitars with a pick becos he was afraid I would scratch it. I was thinking if its accoustic guitar, its okay without a pick. But with an electric, i need to hear how it sound like when i do pinch harmonics, when i do sweeping on 3 strings, when i palm mute, when i do fast alternate picking. But after awhile, i said nevermind, just let me use without the pick. I thought everything was okay, then this old man started to recoil the wire, off the amplifier and decided not to sell me, even though i told him i would not use a pick. Fuck man, i was so damn pissed. Where got ppl do business like that 1? My uncle told me that night that he believe the old man was like that because he thot i wasn't going to buy, only to try. @#$%

ok lah, this post really damn long liao but i have alot of things to say but i can't blog it here either. I wanna talk about the party i had at my cousin's house, the party with elvan and gang and so on and on. but they are damn draggy. So i just blog what's important.

Anyway, tml is new year liao lor, 2007! And very soon, lim peh going to become a soldier lor, an honour in other countries, maybe here also, but something to drag going to right here. I will be missing alot of my friends also lor, like the chua chu kang cum bukit batok gang, benji+jesse+thatwholegroup of people, elvan and gang, naraen n gang, my guitar buddies, few people from my jc class like xl, bill and xc and of course not forgetting the most impt thing in my life, my guitar! hawhawhaw!

I will disappear

Hello!

I'm blogging from my pentium 3 pc. hawhaw! finally the internet is up on this pc and i can play games with my bro now!

i will be leaving for thailand for an eight days trip, so if u guys want me to buy anything for you and if you are lucky enough, i might check my inbox(if i can find a cybercafe) when you send me a request through email.

Lim peh sitting thai airways only lor, unlike that ivan ong. go thailand sit first class 1 lor. lucky bastard.

I finally bought a LED ZEPPLIN T-Shirt from ZARA man! Wah lau, cost me a whopping 60 bucks man. I can buy 6 months worth of strings man! BUT NEVERMIND, ITS LED ZEPPLIN. I'm still saving up for that 200 bucks LED ZEPPLIN platinum collection at THE CD SHOP. I saw THE WHO and GUNS N ROSES T-shirt at Zara too. But it will cost me 180 bucks to buy all of them. =((((

Im so fucking happy right now, coz my cousin is a walking rock dictionary. He has the rarest of the most rare songs from the super duper uber extremely rare bands man. Bands like Kane Roberts, Ratt, GUN, Bad English, Pretty Boy Floyd and many many more. Not only that, he has all kinds of genres man, ranging from baroque to contemporary classical, classic punk to vintage rock, oldies to new age, swing jazz to avant garde jazz. OH MAN! I ripped all these music from his pc to my IPOD. ITS GOOD SHIET MAN. I copied 700 chinese pop music somemore. Thats not all too, i have malay, thai, korean and japan pop and unfortunately(for me) there is also techno. Argh, i hate techno.

Ok, thats for now man. im going to pack my bag. Im not really looking forward to go Thailand actually, but yesterday trip out with elvan and the gang made me realise i need more clothes and buying at Singapore is really kaninah expensive. Hawhaw!! time to go slash price in Thailand, the land of smiles.....



.....or not.
My cousin got slapped by a calculator thrown by a Thai who is obviously not smiling because my cousin slashed too much. hawhawhaw!

I'm getting mouldy

I was supposed to go out with the class for ice skating but they cancelled it last night. Argh! I was looking forward to this trip man. =( It seems that everytime when I am excited about the ice skating trip organised by the class, it will be cancelled in the end. hmmph.

I rent 6 dvds cum vcds and watch them in 2 days. It gives me headaches at the end of the day though but i would'nt deny that some of the videos are nice. Personally, I love Hard Candy, Be with Me and The Terminal.

Be With me is a very inspiring, touching and introspective kind of movie that makes you ask whether if true love really exist, regardless whether the person is in his/her teenage years, middle age or the old age and Eric Khoo made a point not to leave out true love among homosexuals. Although he got a little bit draggy on the memoirs of Theresa Chan(this movie is part memoirs, part story kind of movie), i still think overall the movie is pretty good. Go watch it man!

Hard Candy makes me go sick actually. I wanted to watch this after my promos, but one of my friend has'nt had his birthday yet. Its produced by Liongates, the production company that produces the Saw series. Its amazing that Lion Gates could produce such a thriller and provocative movie with the tight budget they have. Its like SAW 1, they play with the audience's mind and "test" their moral and ethics values. At the end of the movie, a twist unimaginable occurs and the audience will realise why they were angry at the wrong person.

The Terminal. I dont really have much to say about this but I was totally amused by the movie(Catherine Zeta Jones is so pretty man!). Amazing and Hilarious. Go watch it if u have'nt!

Damn, im really getting mouldy now. I haven been going out of my house for 2 whole days man. Wed, i have this museum trip with my sec sch class. I hope its a success cos i really don't want to end up playing lan and i hope the admission for the art museum is free since we are old boys of sji and art museum resides in the old sji complex.

I AM SOOOOOOO BORED!

Bold As Love - A Jimi Hendrix Classic!

ANGER!

He smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor.
Green jealousy, envy waits behind every door, her fiery Green gown
snares at the grassy ground.

Blue are the life giving waters, taken for granted,
they quietly understand.

A once happy Turquoise army lay opposite and ready
but wonder why the fight is on.

But they're are all bold as love
they're all bold as love
Yeah, they're all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My Red is so confident, that he flashes tokens of war
and ribbons of euphoria
orange is young and full of daring
but very unsteady for the first go around.

My Yellow in this case is not so mellow in fact I'm trying to say,
it's frightened like me, and all these emotions of mine
keep tolling me from giving my life to a Rainbow like you,

But I'm A...yeah
I'm Bold as Love, yeah, yeah
Well I'm Bold, Bold as Love
Hear me talking
I'm Bold as love,
Just ask the axis, he knows everything.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

This song is another classic by Hendrix. Even after many years since Hendrix's demise, people around the world still plays his songs. His greatest hits during his music career are timeless and soulful, which makes his stand out amongst the rest.

John Mayer did a cover for this too. Personally i think both Hendrix and him are great, just that Mayer's guitar tone is not of the same tone as Hendrix's. Even though people had commented that Mayer's version was better because of his impressive vocals, i think otherwise.

Here's the video to the music.

Jimi Hendrix's Version

EA Games: Those soniyerbitchernayis capitalists!

Fuck

I hate EA Games right now. Big coporate company monopolise most of the favourite games but in the end, it doesnt perform as good as it should be. It shows only one thing, it wants to gain as much profit as they can by selling bugged and unstable games.

Soniyerbitchernayi!

In order to fix those god damned bugs, i have to download patches. Being a small market Singapore is, servers are located overseas, i.e in Hong Kong and Japan. So that means my download speed will decrease. Not only that, in order to download at a higher rate, one must pay more to enjoy greater speed. Damn those capitalist!

Whatever man!

I went jamming just now with my old buddies and 1 new guy. This new guy is also another soniyerbitchernayi. Jamming is costly and with only 2 hours to spare, one should take jamming seriously and not a session to fuck around. Carrying a guitar and playing the guitar is 2 different things. Apparently, this guy has the talent to carry his guitar around with an ego unimaginable but when its the time to play, he starts to ka jiao everyone. The drummer was on time and he was'nt, so he thought the drummer screwed up and then start shouting fuck this n fuck that. you suck n all that. Man, damn it i was pissed but as usual, i always smile. So i said why dont u start off with a lick, and we all will improvise. That guy look at me for a few seconds and decided to play some lick of his.
I thought it was quite impressive because his ideas was quite refreshing but his stupid ego came back again. When the drummer starts off, then followed by me, that soniyerbitchernayi say shut the fuck up, dont disturb me and said that his lick was good, so just let me solo first for a while.

I could'nt take it anymore, so the drummer and I just left without paying.

I'm going to sleep right now, tml there's a hell lot of activities. Now i am wondering whether i should just go to swee lee n buy a new axe. Sunday's jamming is another headache because i haven got my new axe. Damn sian, i have absolute no confidence of bringing my Aria to jam, damnit.

kk, i'm tired. bb

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.

now sian liao. im gg out liao, bb.

Demise of a blog and loving jack black's worshipping of the "Satan"

there are 2 soniyerbitchernayis here trying to ka jiao(disturb) me. But these 2 nayis are my acquaintances(or are they?), who are trying to nose around my blog for the latest gossips or personal thoughts that they hope i post it up here.

nope so sorry. i find it difficult to write personal thoughts right here, i.e who i boh su ka(don't like) lah, who i su ka(like) lah, or i want to kill that guy lah, or this guy/girl is so n so lah.

HAHAHA, u can never find out!

I decided to give up trying to log into my another blog. Its been ages since I have logged into that and consequently i have forgotten both my username n password, coz i dont use "vaineo" as my username. So too bad lor, its gone forever. anyway its kind of useless.

anyone reading this should go watch Tenacious D and the pick of destiny. Its M18 though. extremely funny, stupid plot but yet hilarious and still keeps u entertained. what u expect mah, ben stiller production leh! There's this quote i like from the movie; "the little voice in your heart that says have sex all day or fuck you"
It was talking about how Satan, like God is in anyone's heart and not just material stuffs that signifies Satan.

How true.

Life After As...Blissfulness

i rejected fender. The feel and the chemistry is just right for me, but the sound is very disappointing. Too twangy for the distortion, too muddy for the overdrive.

anyhow, life after As is pretty blissful. Ever since the end of As, my days are packed with all kinds of activities. Sibei busy one, finally today can have a day by myself.

the other day, xl, bill n me went jamming. Stupid la, waste my time n money. A lesson learnt though. Never go fucking jamming without a proper drummer or singer. bill was whacking the cymbals so hard until my fucking ears was going deaf. feel damn pissed off lor. but we did a couple of songs, which was rather successful. we played sweet child o' mine, knocking on heaven's door and some improvisation on different keys.
Before that jamming session, we had kbox and some lan with some ppl from our class la. We sang quite a lot, some of the songs damn crappy. Lucky i left for the jamming or not I have to sing that jennifer lopez song.

sian la. i dunno what to blog also lor. lucky next week got class chalet, or not i also dunno what to do. now i feel that go into NS earlier is actually better la. Faster go in, faster come out mah. Sian, somemore when i go into NS, is not straight into BMT lor, is into that PTP, coz lim bei fail napfa.

WASSUP!!!

Vai neo is back again.

(applause!)

Kum Xia!! (Thank you in Hokkien).

OK la, i know its not very funny but I'm too happy liao. A levels going to finish by tomorrow! I dont have to take physics, chemistry and my mother tongue for the rest of my life!

I've nothing to blog actually lah. Tomorrow my paper is in the afternoon so I can slack abit. I have not touch anything yet since my 2nd last paper which is physics paper 3. Its ok though, coz tml's only mcq.

Anyway, alvin lee's going to sell me his fender tml. I fought with my parents because of that. I know its 2nd hand but that doesnt meant it has to be as cheap as possible. They dont understand how Fender guitars work and its feel and their tone is fucking superb. Selling at 1.2 k for a 2.5k guitar is actually a good steal. I still get the certificate of authencity and a hard case.
Actually if swee lee is offering JEM guitars for less than $1500, i might consider ditching alvin's deal, since i hate single coil guitars.

ok, thats it.

Wah! Damn Jia lat!.

"The kidnappers of an Italian journalist in Afghanistan have offered to free him in exchange for a Christian convert who fled the country, an aid agency says.

Photojournalist Gabriele Torsello was seized last week while travelling on a bus in southern Afghanistan.

The kidnappers will free Mr Torsello, a Muslim convert, if Abdul Rahman returns from Italy where he was granted asylum earlier this year, the aid agency says.
Mr Rahman had escaped a possible death sentence for becoming a Christian. "

Read full story here

Will they(Italian Authorities) actually meet the kidnappers' demands by handing over Mr Abdul Rahman?

Is it fair to cause someone to walk to his death (assuming that the death sentence is in effect against the christian convert) in order to save another person's life?

It is not a demand that a decent human being would ever consider," the politician, Rocco Buttiglione, told the BBC.

"We are not ready to offer one human life for another human life... It is barbarian, inhuman, and it grinds against any accepted convention on human rights."

What about Mr. Torsello then?

Phucking Long Post. But patience is a virtue, you know?

"SONIYERBITCHERNAYI!!!!!"

That's Tamil btw. Its the only word i can swear confidently, thanks to my secondary school friend.

I just got back almost all my papers. I did'nt phucking pass most of the subject! How can that be!?! Especially my Physics, my marks is so low until i myself and Mr Wong can't believe it. No, i'm not trying to self-deprecate myself on the net, but seriously I'm stiffled by my really poor results.(ok im exaggerating). So now, I have no choice lor, have to consult Mr Wong almost daily to pass my Physics. =(

Today, GP lesson got me awe-struck for a while. Mr Fahy discussed about a theory that is called "Relativist Fallacy". That topic was so intellectually stimulating that i got lost for a moment, at times not sure I fully understood the theory. But this theory seems to explain why most of us always fail essays and the ka ni na application qns.

This "Relativist Fallacy" theory was explained in an article written by Stephen Law. He explained that a truth itself may be true for some people but it might not be true for others. He then goes on by saying that people always believe that their conclusion is true simply by believing it without any substantial evidence. In other words, these people have committed a logical fallacy!

This fallacy, whether committed knowingly or not, is actually an error which a person conclude their views by going with their personal feelings. So in other words, if it is based on their personal feelings, its is not the truth at all, because arguably, their evidence is not based on actual facts but just on the individual's feelings or maybe intuition.

The funny part comes in...
If a person based on his/her personal feelings, which is actually not true to a certain extent, then how could he/she deny something that is true in the first place? In other words, if he/she said something that is not accurate but yet conclude its accurate(perhaps unknowingly), how could he/she deny something that is actually accurate especially when the accurate claim is based on actual scientific facts.

Isnt the person contradicting himself?

Some really cheem stuffs. Actually hor, i dont know if i explained it correctly or not, but this is what i understand about Relativist Fallacy. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Enough about these cheem stuffs lah! Cockanathan. J Chua came over to my hse to interview me(yes i know u would go what the phuck!). This newbie director came my hse to redo the shootings because due to his inexperience of handling the cameras and gears( he doesnt know how to use the tripod and took a couple of hrs figuring how to set up the camera properly), he has to do it again today! Anyway, i had to say about my struggle towards the higher class of society. But i dont think i ever said things on that because all I did was to introduce myself, about my school, complain about anything and play the guitar. In the end, it seems like J chua wanna market me out into the music industry coz most of what he did was on my guitars.

ok lah. going to 8pm liao, i still haven touch physics tys, later mr wong give me that hopeless look again. =/

PRELIMS END LIAO!

"Jimi Hendrix passed suddenly on September 18, 1970 while touring through London,
England. When news of the tragedy made its way to James “Al” Hendrix, (Jimi's
father) back in the United States, the wheels for a lasting memorial began to
take shape. Al Hendrix requested that Jimi's body be brought back to his
birthplace of Seattle, Washington so that a burial at a new family plot, located
at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton could be performed... "

Prelims finally ended, concluding one of my worst nightmares. Soon, a new impending doom will be bestowed on me. KA NI NA! The phucking A levels is starting in 1 month!!! ARGHH....

OMG! I just love Stevie Ray Vaughan! His music rejuvenate my Sunday morning, at least it did made me settle down to read my oh-so-boring Physics Notes. hmm..
too bad he's gone now. =(

I changed my template, though it isn't much of a change. But i like it simple and plain, with no fancy animations or complicated javas trolling around the whole site. I just love the Blogger Beta thing, it really makes my life way easier. No more searching through the HTML codes! All I need is to click a button, type in a few words and tada, its done.

The rest of my prelims will commence next Tuesday. I dont think i will make it anyway, especially for Physics. Mr Wong should have taught us since J1 and not arrive at Term 3 this year to replace Mr Tan.

My GP is a goner man!!! I'm going to fail it badly and mr fahy is going to scream at me again! I did a question which required me to comment on the comparison between a pragmatist and an idealist. Initially, i wanted to pick the question on the war on terrorism, but I can't remember the names of some of the terrorist groups. =(

Ok this entry is actually quite pointless. I blog another one when I have the time.

Here is Tommy Emmanuel doing a Chet Atkins cover. One of my favourite songs. =)

Hey!
If anyone is reading this, i have just set up a new musicians' blog. Its still new and i need help to run it too. But you can take a look here.
