"Before I Forget"

Slow Down

2009-07-31T23:04:00.003+08:00

Sucked in by the consuming pain,like a laptop on AC adaptor energy. Slowly sucking,slowly squeezing,like climbing up a well, only to fall everytime the person reaches the top. It drips out countless... An irritant. Never-ending. Congested Nose. Scratchy sounds come out, only trying in vain to soothe the soreness of the throat, only to worsen the condition. The ears get blocked up with every sneeze or cough, building walls of deafness, but the irony is, he won't get deaf. Pop a pill, hopes attached to recovery, dizzy and slumbering...

The boy drifts into a deep sleep.

Who knows whether he wakes up tommorow?

Goodbye And So Long

2009-05-26T21:45:00.006+08:00

The memories we had together will always remain in my heart.

"Well I guess this is growing up.."

Goodbye Un-screwed.

Tone.

2009-05-24T02:23:00.005+08:00

AT LAST I CHANGED MY VOLUME/TONE KNOBS.

Got a new set of strings for this coming tuesday's performance too..
I hope the performance will be a DAMN GOOD ONE.

So I still need this..

Seymour Duncan SH-8 Invader Humbuckers
"I do recommend the Ivader's fat and beefer tone, great for distorted bits."

And this..

Roland Cube 30x Amplifier
"I recommend the Cube for it's diverse sound setups in the LEAD channel,plus there are added digital effects (my favorite flange to mess around with), and a 'Power Squeezer' selector so that you can play at soft volumes(So you don't piss your neighbours off LONSIE) at highly distorted levels and still hear the sustain and power in tone."

I'm still waiting..

Oh yeah,Khairul please pass me the photos we took at the Esplanade,Thanks!

I NEED ALL THESE..
As much as I need sleep. (:

~Hannan~
Thank you Hannan,I'm going to try my best to apply what you said into my lifestyle from now on.

Somehow, that phrase he said gave me a wake-up call.
Something told me to turn on. (LOL)

Studied and chillax-ed with some old sk8 buddies in the afternoon.

Aboy N' Wye.

Thadar N' "Shi-ron"... Haha!

(Skater pals for life!)

To masterserpent75...It's not that I'm selfish or what not... But I'm frankly disturbed that you take A LOT of my fries when we eat at Macdonalds.

Cheers! :P

Crossroads

2009-04-28T18:48:00.008+08:00

"Where to?"

Yes.I know I haven't updated for a stupid amount of time.I've been very lazy these days.(I know it's bad,I'm trying to get rid of it.) So lazy that I didn't couldn't find any inspiration to write,it was damn un-inspiring,depressing and boring for the past few days.

Enough of the bad news and boring crap.

So today, actually...A few days ago, I realized I was lost in life.

"I'm so dumb...I'm lost!"

NO.

It was actually a feeling of being at the crossroads, with no direction whatsoever. I felt as if I was stuck in a moment. I didn't know where to go. I didn't know where I was leading my myself to in life.

Sometimes, in life, most of us progress at such pace,that we tend not to stop and realize.
We advance so fast, that we didn't know where our choices took us, or HOW FAR we've went.

For me,I JUST realized I was living the life on the fast lane, making decisions without thinking twice, or thrice, JUST GOING WITH THE FLOW. AND YES, its not the right thing to do!
"Going with the flow"...

Lost, in MANY aspects. but still finding new light and looking forward.

One of the "Choice" cards we have in life has the words,"THINK POSITIVE" printed on it.
It's really up to us to DRAW THAT CARD FROM THAT DECK.

Oh...I almost forgot, TODAY was a damn productive day, one of the best Tuesdays I had,
managed to stay cool,calm,concentrated and collected for the whole day,looking forward to more productive studying. GRANT ME MORE DAYS LIKE THIS.

Clinton,Haziq,Heesham and I got so bored in school today, we did THIS.

Today I met three New Town Sec guys who had one of the most funniest conversations I heard in ages.

GUYS A,B,C . (Explicit)

1.
GUY A: (walks past guy B and throws ten dollars on the floor)
GUY B: I give you 10 seconds to pick up 10 dollars..
GUY C : (Bends down andPicks up the 10 dollar note.)
GUY B: Beggar!
GUY C: (Gives the note to Guy B)
GUY B: My mother one night 5 dollars, you give me 10 dollars for what?!

2.
GUY A: You maturbate to baby photos la! Pedophile.
GUY B: (Laughs)

3.
ME: What's your band name?
GUY A:Square
ME: What the hell?!
GUY B: That name is his girlfriend give him one la!

4.
GUY A: Wah, someone go Wikipedia change our school motto ah...
GUY B: To?
GUY C: They go change"Together we forge a new life" to "Together we forge a new Signature" !!!

5.
Guy A: That time we all prom night,the principle give us speech,the speech like assembly like that,waste Time sia...Play Bingo, all 'bingo' at the same time. Principal tell everyone that after the show can dance,they all go home...

Firstly, RECESSION, now...
TIME RECESSION!

Suck It Up And Go Alone.

I need this.

Recently,
I just realized one thing, its hard being alone if you're a social bubble...
Perhaps,you can...BUT, it'll take ages to get used too...I just realized I was being too loud and over-the-top recently. So I tried to make do with being a silent peep today. First try, tough luck.
It felt so...just so...TIRING and PATHETIC. But ironically, I STILL want to do it, no matter how much my mind tells me to be quiet and take life at a slower pace, there's still this animal inside of me wanting to get out and have fun, isn't it hard? My friends noticed today and my hypothesis was that they were freaked out my 'weird' behaviour. But was it considered 'weird' to me? No, It felt more of a DRAG. I still need to keep quiet and change that little/HUGE monster inside of me...

Wait, is it 'Little' or 'Huge' anyway? Who cares? I need the change,no matter how long it takes.

All of us, including YOU, dear reader..Have a flaw or something, and I suggest doing something about it no matter how hard it is,it'll benefit YOU and OTHERS in the long run.

TRUST ME.

Congrats to Jeremy on quitting smoking, together we escape early death and smelly breath.

I Won't Be The Victim,But The First To Cast A Stone

2009-03-20T23:48:00.003+08:00

"Oh My God..."

I'll be brutally honest. Just recently, I realized that SMOKING is 'stupid'. I could write an entire essay on that one topic and you'll think im blabbering nonsense, but the fact is that...YES, it is stupid.
I can tell you personal accounts,first-hand experiences and stories about 'smoking' and myself but I just feel it'll be toooooo 'STUPID'.

YES, smoking is fun,AT THE START.
but as time goes on you won't realize but you're actually hooked on a dangerous object that will SLOWLY and I mean VERY SLOWLY kill you.
YES, as stupid as it sounds, PAPER and LEAVES can kill you.

This boy doesn't want to sound like a hypocrite, but he hopes he will stop this ridiculous habit soon.

Just think about it...

Marlboro Menthol for 11.60?

thats worth a pack of Ernie Ball Stainless Steel guitar strings which will probably last 2 months or so...

considering smoking as a past time?

think again.

"My God,Slash you're already old and that cigarette don't deserve a place in that mouth of yours already...But you're always an inspiration."

I just realized that being 'kind', and actually BEING kind (not being kind for the sake of it) gives you a rush or a happy 'sort' of bodily chemical to your brain thus,making you feel a pleasant 'high'. Nothing druggy here. So...
The next time you're out there,

1.Give up your seat for an elderly person or a woman with a baby (My gosh,how would you feel if you were the mother?!)

2.Having basic courtesy like saying 'thank you' and 'sorry'

3.Having good manners. Don't smoke in people's face. Don't mouth vulgarites in front of public.
(I suppose it's perfectly fine if you're with your buddies. XD)

4.Many more I don't wish to list cause' I think it's common sense.

Well,Another hectic week has passed, I just realized I did a lot of mistakes to others
sub-consciously from the PAST YEAR till' now. It's just..surprising.
I never expected what my friends ACTUALLY thought of me. I didn't know.
I was just unaware.
I WAS JUST BEING A PRICK.

Another Sudden Epiphany!

2009-02-27T22:41:00.009+08:00

"A middle finger to...MYSELF"

A week of agony,a week of whatever...*rambles again*
A week filled with the discovery of two "Wisdom Teeth" at the back of my mouth. How annoying when the dentist told me I was a,"rare case"... INDEED.

This week made me realize who I actually was, I can't describe the shock I received when a few of my buddies said I was putting up a 'facade' for quite a while now... A BAD FACADE.
A BAD ATTITUDE.

I'm now a "hypocrite,liar,phony,fraud,backstabber,badmouth...
TWO-FACE."

It got to THAT EXTEND.

I'm really sorry,white chocolate rabbit.

And also to the other people whom I've hurt.

"Sincere apologies." :(

C'MON,JUST GIMME A BREAK!

I'm going to share this song with everyone,since I feel that this band is way better than
'Fall Out Boy' and the song has so much sentimental value to me. One of the band's BEST songs and most of all,its not just a SONG...its a STORY. Take a listen, who knows you might relate..
to it?

Avenged Sevenfold's
-Second Heartbeat-

We keep writing, talking and planning, but everything's changing,We all know what to do
but no one does it,

Now this time has passed and full of regret,

Two in my heart have left me a while, I stand alone,When they get back,
it won't be the same,
never be the same,

My life, you've always been there, Now you're gone and my heads spinning,

Left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past,Moving on your time has run out,

Wishing the clock would stand still, the world can wait, Wasting away once again, once lived as friends,

As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life,The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night,

Never will I forget you, and all the memories past,So rarely I get to see your face,

Growing I looked to you in guidance.We knew that time would kill us, but you're still so close to me,

To me you were my life, To me you were my soul companion,Now you are so far away,

Nothing can take away the time and the memories we had,

Come back-to the days when we were young,
Come back-to the days when nothing mattered,
To the days when nothing mattered

And I feel time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life,The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night,

As time passes by, regrets for the rest of my life,The ones who I confide were gone in the black of the night.

I WISH THERE WAS A "THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING" PUBLIC HOLIDAY FOR ALL SCHOOLS...

"Retarded"

"Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past."~Jack London~

Try to find the small things in life that make you happy, because sometimes...
The physical things in life don't define it. Money,Love,Wealth,Fame maybe sometimes be all the things we seek or desire, BUT,
even if I were to hand you the world on a silver platter, do you think deep down you'll know the true meaning of life and happiness? I admit that even sometimes, I can be markedly more concerned with material things (such as money and possessions) rather than spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values; making me some sort of a "materialistic" Bastard.
But I guess today I figured out part of life and happiness's true meaning. The things that matter, are the small things that occur, appear, happen etc. around us.

Appreciate stuff.

"In" With The "Out" Crowd

2009-02-17T22:45:00.004+08:00

" 'In' With The 'Out' Crowd "

*BREATHS DEEPLY*

okay kids...

des·o·la·tion
1. The act or an instance of desolating.
2. The state of being desolate.
3. Devastation; ruin: a drought that brought desolation to the region.
4.
a. The state of being abandoned or forsaken; loneliness: a sense of utter desolation following the death of his parents.
b. Wretchedness; misery.

Today we're gonna touch on a "touch-ey" topic, that is, "loneliness".
Many a times people exaggerate that they're lonely all the time,
that they have no accompany.

But for the first time today, I truly felt the meaning of the term, " loneliness".
Loneliness in its PUREST FORM. (yummy!)

*And I've already said, I do not have teen angst, and I'm not another of those "emo-emotional" kids.*

Everyone left the classroom, including the teacher.As the sound of the last footstep left the class, Everything was silent.Even though the fans were still spinning and the classroom doors were open. My friends were not around, their voices of pleading me to "hurry, pack up and leave the class!", were absent.
No guidance,No emotion,No reaction.

DESOLATION,
The silence was deafening, more deafening than the highest decibel of sound.

FOR THE FIRST TIME,
lonely.
And desolated.
In It's "True-est" Form.

well,It felt..
Good And Bad.

I finally felt it.

lonely-gasm.

"SHAWN WHY YOU STILL IN CLASS?!!!!!!!!!"
*and literally, he DID SHOUT*

bloody hell,spoiled the vibe.

It was a SMASHING experience! *british accent*

"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

The Band Of The Day
Please Welcome..
Blink-182!

not really into the Jonas Brothers but i do dig these guys.
the 3 dudes that started it all.
Without them, there'll be no Fall Out Boy,All-American Rejects,Yellowcard
or whatever band that follows that crowd's genre.

Blink-182 is to "Punk-Pop",as Deep Purple was to "Hard Rock".

known for their simple melodies, teen angst and lyrical "toilet humour"..

that may not sound like music to you, but they definitely make it sound LIKE music.

something to bop your head to and not give a damn.

“I'm not gay, a lot of people think I'm gay. I have a girlfriend, she thinks I'm gay.”~Tom Delonge

He Resembles me in some way, I think?

YES. He does.

For a band that broke up in 2004 and reunited in 2009,5 years of indefinite hiatus..Things wouldn've have definitely changed for the trio.

People who haven't heard of them..(YOU MISSED OUT SO MUCH)
I suggest you listen to their earlier material like..
"Chesire Cat" or "Dude Ranch".. To get a feel of what message they were trying to send to their fans.

Friendships Reformed.

I'd be waiting for summer 09'

they call it "Mid-Year" in Singapore..

"Making a new friend is pretty easy, but maintaining such friendship becomes very tough at times. Misunderstandings are the primary reason why most of the friendship breaks. A broken friendship can leave many bitter moment. But the beauty of friendship is any bitter thoughts between each other can be shooed away by a simple 'sorry'."

For Fuck's Sake. "

Today was like a milestone I spent so long to reach. 5 months I guess?

Finally entered the studio with Shade and Izaril to lend my voice to their Song, 'She Moves'..
It was a TEDIOUS PROCESS, Imagine having the pleasure of repeating " I'll "..
a few thousand times.

*EXHAUSTED*

Well,the sweat,blood and tears were well worth it in the end, we wrapped up the product in..
3 Hours.

Then..*Dum,Dum,Dum*
