Up late again...
Bored. Really bored. Really really bored.
And tired of studying.
Not that i have done much....though i do my fair share of it (yar right...)
I so want a punching bag. Been wanting to get one like since highschool. It's probably influenced from my far off child hood when i use to mock-fight, wrestle and watch kung fu flicks with my cuz bro. I'd pretend i knew all these different forms of kung fu and really get into it by performing (or try to) a series of complex weaving and thrusting motions (my fav has always been the drunken fist). No...not THOSE kind of thrusting motions. Don't get the wrong idea. Plus i was young then. Then again...i still do those kinda things now. Shows how much i've grown up huh?
I'm so looking forward to working and getting my own place. Once i do, i'm so gonna get me my punching bag. And speed bag gloves too, though i'd rather get those with steel plates built into them instead of cotton/sponge/whatever-it-is-they-pad-them-down-with (yes...i do fantasize about getting into fights. Must be lack of a punching bag and alot of repressed angst).
God knows how many times i feel so stressed (more like frustrated) i just want to punch the living daylights out of something. Hitting a person is against the law as well as unhealthy (they hit back. Or sue. Depends on the person i guess..).
Well, to help me get over my i-want-a-punching-bag problem, i've been renting yakuza/gangster/hei se hui (ku wa zhai) DVDs. I don't think it's helping me solve the problem. Quite the opposite actually. Now i feel like i want to join a gang and feel the power of a bunch of loyal hoodlums backing my ass up (not literally) when i'm in trouble. Or when i go looking for trouble. Talk about easily influenced. Hmmm....
Always though myself as a pretty street smart kid. Being brought up in the slums of JB and all that (yar right no. 2). But having a hoodlum (he hates to admit it) as a cuz bro does teach you a few things about life...on the streets that is.
Well, enough blogging and ranting. Back to hell for now. It'll be over soon. Be it good or bad...i'll have to face the music.
Something to think about...
A student noticed the branches of a tree swaying in the wind. Suddenly a question appears in his head. He points and asks his master,"Master, are the branches moving on their own or are they being moved by the wind?"Without turning to look at what his student was pointing at, the master replies,"It is neither the wind or the branches that are moving. It is your mind and heart..."
UVERworld - D-Technolife
This is my new "Top of my list" band. UVERworld seriously rocks my world. Included in them is M-flo, Jinn, Monkey Majik, etc...
The vocalist is amazing. His voice is so full blown and rich you just can't sick of it. Well maybe you can....but right now i'm tripping it. The guitar rifts in this song just makes it. It really gives that "reach into ur brain and send it to high heaven" feel. The stop and go strumming pattern here just adds another dimension to the song. The drums don't really stand out but it adds body to it.
There is an album version of this song but this is the LIVE version, according to them anyways. I love it so much better. They really build it up well. Once it reaches the climax, you just explode....AWESOME. Three thumbs up!!
As you can see, they're all jap. I really have no idea why....but i guess i really do like jap songs. Or maybe it's the fact that they are more daring and creative than the average run-of-the-mill-radio-top-20 bands and singers.
Why am i blogging?
Hmmm....shouldn't really be doing this now. My sis' blog inspired/motivated?/gave me a reason to sidetrack.
EXAMS!!!! Again. The most horrifying part of my life has come by again. Ok...to be fair, it's not all that horrifying. But it IS unpleasant.
At least it will be over quick.
I sound like i'm going to the executioner's chamber waiting for them to pull the switch that would either release the blade that will chop my head off or send ten's of thousands of volts of electricity searing through my body.
And then i'll be dead................
Arrrghhh........if only there's a pill i could take that would give me motivation...called the M-pill. With one dose of this miraculous drug you would be able to fire up your willpower to put in a hundred and one percent into whatever it is you need to do. Do not take more than medical prescription. May cause overconfidence, extravagant actions, perceived insanity, unacheivable dreams, burning sensation in head(s), slight cock-eyeness, nonsesnse blabbering and possible death by stupid actions.
Annoying use of bad grammar...
Ah...yes. After a long "vacation" from blogging, I am finally BACK!
Or at least for this post....
I'm not really going to talk about what I have been doing for the past missing month(s) but will just continue on with the post. Oh, yes. I will at least say this much...been recording some of my songs with Gerard Gan aka. Mr. G/G Man! Still very amateurish but oh well...still learning.
For unknown reasons, I've been watching many Singaporean videos on youtube with regards to life in Singapore. Mostly funny stuff but covering local politics, culture, weird antics, etc...
One thing I've realised and was quite annoyed with was the occasional bad use of grammar by the characters/speakers/actors in the vids. This mostly dealt with wrongly placed past, present and future tenses.
Admittedly, I'm not that great with the english langguage myself and do end up speaking (and typing) 'England' here and there (plus a whole lot of spelling mistakes) therefore I can't really complain. Thing that annoyed me wasn't the layman speaking bad english but those who are erm...shall we say..."educated" using spatterings of wrong tenses just kinda killed it for me.
One would think that using english as their main medium in education and more so for those who went overseas to study (as they admitted themselves) would not succumb so easily to the failings of us less regular speakers or those who use "rojak" as a communication tool to speak to our peers.
Thinking about it now, i belive i once (i'm going to totally give up pressing the shift key to capitalize my 'I's) commented on this. Not trying to pick a fight or be contemptuous or anything for that matter but just felt i wanted to write this down somewhere. Why not let the world know what a judgemental person i am....wakkakakak!!! No offense and peace be with you....
Before i go, just wanna say that it's 4 am in the morning and for unknown reasons, even to myself, i am still awake. Please forgive if this is weird/offending/pointless/makes-me-seem-like-a-contemptuous-bastard/"you knnccb think you damn power now wan point finger at us singaporean larr harrr!!!"/"go and die larr u fucker"/"screw you asshole...think your england better than us!"
Out...
