ABOVE: My Squier Stratocaster(left) and my Academy Les Paul[yes, now it has a strap! haha!](right) n o yes, dun ask me about my bedsheet k? my grandma made it. i think its older den me. i luv u grandma!!
narcissist.. ok wait sumbody taught me dat word b4.. but apparently im having trouble recalling d meaning.. just yesterday i rememberd d meaning but 4got d spelling.. hah nvm.
n who r u refering 2 anyway?
ok sweelee sale at bras basah on 1st july. i think i going there. mayb ajak adly, coz he say he wans 2 buy cliplock.. but who uses cliplocks on basses anyway?? haha. nvm nvm jgn ikot2 orang.. abeh takkan ikot binatang.. nvm..
i nid a cliplock 4 my les paul.. yes its very tak kena, but like i NEED it. coz diz les paul, d hook or skrew or wdvr u call it, 2 attach d strap to, well its like abit high.. n like les paul d side is curved rite.. so like yeah d skrew is angled upwards, so if i use normal strap n i wear it its going 2 come off.. haha yeah i tried.. n i was offspring-ing.. as in playing offspring..
offspring rox! yea evn tho they're punk n i hate punk rock.. not really hate la.. juz dun like.. to a large extent... heh actually its quite nice 2 listen to.. but damn borrrriiinnnnggggg to play.. i mean its like neither hard NOR expressive.. i dun listen to a lot of punk, really, so like u can call my statement a fallacy.. hasty generalisation wdvr.. but yeah its( i was about 2 say stupid budden i realised dat the band must hav put a lot of effort in their music, so like yeah i'll respect that. i mean like sum [sad] ppl think metal is stupid. bah) songs like Wake me up when september ends and Boulevard of broken dreams dat turns me off... ok but at least boulevard d starting they used flanger.. or izit chorus? either one la..
hmm i dunno la.. mayb i appreciate punk rock d least coz like i cant associate myself 2 it.. like metal, powerful GUITAR... deep purple, powerful GUITAR.. but wait no.. metal.. i luv d drums too.. i mean its like ok mayb its like simple but fast only.. but i find it kewl.. deep purple? d wonders that they can do with a BASIC KIT.. its like omg ah.. i never knew they used basic kits 4 most of their songs.. but like dat day i went to look at guitars with my bro.. den abang looked at d tama drums n say like ok diz is wad i call a gd drum or sumtin.. den i say aiyer sux ah, no double pedal, no extra toms, no extra snare, no additional cymbals bla bla bla.. den he told me got all dat 4 wad.. den i said '2 play gd music n not get stuck with Greenday'.. ok sory greenday, i said dat damn long ago, when i was still stupid. but anyway den my bro said deep purple uses basic kit. den like i went fck no(i din use d F word la). den he said yea he's serious. den he askd me 2 ask abang dul, d guy at sweelee who was helping us. den like abg dul said yeah, 4 mos of their songs.. n i was like OMG...
ok anyway where was i? o yes my point is. wait no i 4got my point. o yes. i once thought that i appreciate d songs dat i appreciate only bcoz i can associate myself to em in terms of instruments. as in like i like metal coz like i can play guitar datz y i like their guitar solos, while other ppl think dat metal is juz crap coz dey dunno how 2 play guitar.. as in thats wad i THOUGHT.. but yea now i realised its not about that la.. well, not really at least.. coz like most of d time i luv d drums more den d guitar.. n like.... ok shit im sounding more n more crappish dat i dcided dat i shall stop here.
nvm. i'll be bach. datz how arnold pronounced it wad.. >.< style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/330/334/320/IMG_0592.jpg" border="0">

so i asked her 4 a wah pedal.

get the pun? k actually diz one sux.. shud hav cropped the photo.. den just see the LEG and the 'Flamingo Lake' geddit??? nvm.
anyway ok since i discoverd diz picture upload thing(not too long ago sadly), i became obsessed with uploading pictures. the one on the left here was taken at jurong bird park during photog camp. n i think i shall upload more corny photos later or sumtin.
niwaes speaking of puns.... i dun geddit you know. Oscar Wilde uses puns and lit professors call him witty. I use puns people call me lame. Sesame Street uses puns (the Count Dracula or whoever his name is.. n he teaches the kids to COUNT) and humanity find it acceptable. I use puns and people goes 'shut the f*** up'.
im not complaining or anything la.. but.. o heck who m i kidding. i M complaining. but usually im not bothered by this shit. just when my moodswing comes around den i start.. heh.. like 4 example right now im over this issue n shall talk about other stuff :)
ok i shall ponn my bro's nikah thingey 2 go guitar camp. its juz nikah la wdh. not sanding or like wedding dinner(which i hope i can perform 4). but of coz if i want 2 perform 4 his wedding dinner i nid 2 like FORM A BAND n START JAMMING.. but money n time, i lack both of em.
bah.
i shud relli b doing my homework now.
o yes n i want to perform a band with:
-a lot of percussionists(like bongo, REBANA, tabla, all those shakers n cabasas etc)
-a keyboardist/pianist
-flute/clarinet
plus a super pro drummer n bassist n a super daring vocalist who can sing all sorts of genre.
Hendrix is damn funky.

4 BigGlove
-4got 2 tell ari dat i wantd 2 sing Enter Sandman
-during ari's solo i shud hav playd chorus riff but playd main riff instead. but it fits! so heck.
n misc stuff dat din work out
- i pasted masking tape on d back of my guitar n wrote APPLAUSE. but d audience din clap when i flashd it. bah.
-knockd d back of my guitar on d LT locking thing. yes the sharp part. now got dent. lucky not crack.
-din use my bro's pedal. wantd 2. but during soundcheck i used cj's pedal, so like yeah scared too loud or too soft.
-my guitar sound too distorted. or too soft. cud barely hear myself. wantd 2 increase volume. but scard drown d rest. n my solo not so nice niwaes, so yea no nid 2 make myself heard.
GotNicLess:
Nicholas!(now d name makes sense?): power vocals! damn gd. gud jop!
CheeJun- Lead guitar 4 Here without you. ur playing was perfect!!
Greg- Rythm. YOU BEST! nobody cud tell ur skrew ups. evn me. haha.
