i guess this is long enough.

wow holy crap i'm so tired right now but I dont even know why I'm still up at such an hour. I seriously need to stop sleeping at these times. it'll make me look horrible in the morning :/. I havent been making long ass entries so this one is gonna be the chain breaker. raaaar, Von asked me about my hair a few days ago when I just cut it. She was asking me if I dyed my hair because it had a faint brown colour to it. I was really surprised because I dont even dye my hair! I always thought that it was black! I went back and looked at some pictures on my computer and I found this one pic that shows exactly what von was talking about


See what I mean? Me and my sis took that pic back in January during my Houston trip. ironically it was also after I just got my haircut! it's frickin weird! that means that i'm not the only one because one of my younger cousins has the same exact hair colour as me. From what I study in bio during sec school, this might sound ridiculous but I think my mom and my aunt is a carrier of some weird hair colour gene from my grandparents or great grandparents. Because i'm not the only one since my younger cousin has it. My mom was telling me like how she thinks that I inherited my grandpa's obsession with anything that has to do with music ahaha. I always wanted my grandpa to teach me how to play the violin but sadly he passed away before that could happen :(. its alright i'll find myself a violin teacher one day and also i'd like to teach my children how to play the guitar in the future!

oh yea, that also reminds me of something stupid AHAH. Like 2 years back, I was doing this switch over from acoustic guitar to electric guitar and at first my dad taught me some basic riffs and power chords. So i told him 'dad, i'm tired of learning deep purple's smoke on the water. Can I learn some heavier riffs instead?'. Sad to say my dad gave me this 'wtf dream on kiddo' look. So i took the initiative to learn the intro riff, verse and chorus for 1 song. 'Dying in your Arms' by Trivium. AHAHA. okay fine its not THAT heavy but holy crap i spent the entire night from 11pm to 9am just trying to learn those parts. It felt so good to play it infront of my dad the next day, even though it had TONS of mistakes :P. and of course, i skipped the solo. maybe I should do a cover of the song soon just for old times sake. 'I'm wearing thin, wearing out, becoming weak. Holding hands with this rope, shes my self-destructive!' my favourite line from that song :D



Well I also havent really talked about the other members in band. Our new Vocalist is Qahar and hes 20 something. He's alright in terms of vocals but in some songs his voice is really good so we're kinda experimenting him with different kinds of songs. Our drummer is a close friend of halim, a guy called Shaieful but we know him as Chep. Hes so much better than me and halim on the guitar and hes also good in drums. Halim & Chep suggested that we should perform on Teacher's Day but i'm not sure where exactly its going to be at. It definately wont be at Jack's sec sch because he hates his school so its either between my school or halim and chep's school. I would really want to perform again because its just so much fun! Songs like this year's most open heartbreak, the feel good drag and smashed into peices just makes us feel so energetic when we play it! The riffs and the solos makes it really fun to play.

But of course if we are to perform for teacher's day, dont expect us to play heavy songs like hey john. even though its awesome, its just inappropriate for the bloody situation lah! D: So i'm thinking of a couple of good songs to play and so far what isn't heavy in my opinion is 4am forever by lost prophets. It good because it has a solo!!! I was also thinking of a particular song by escape the fate... but got some screamo eh. we'll see how lah. Its called 'Theres no sympathy for the dead' :D :D :D. the song is nice but learning the solo will be a bitch. :(. atleast 4am forever's solo isnt that hard! bah its still in early stages so as of yet, its not confirmed. I hope this entry is long enough because i've been wanting to do a long ass entry for quite sometime. i'm gonna sleep at 4am because of this entry. 'I hope you know, you're letting go. its 4am and i'm alooooone! *awesome solo kicks in*' ahaha ok i'm really blabbering nonsense right now.
oh well, gnite ppls! :D (hello eye bags)

pushing me away!




oh my goodness. words cannot describe how beautiful the song is and chester bennington sang it with such raw emotion! I decided to listen to some old LP song a few days back and I stumbled upon this video and i was hooked by it ever since. This shows the soft side of Linkin Park and shows what an amazing vocalist they have! I used to listen to the normal version of 'pushing me away' all the time but Ive never heard the piano version. I used to listen to that song and 'my december' all the time when I was a kid. Confession: I felt really lonely when I was young okay. no more, no less. thats why I got hooked with them since Hybrid Theory. alright, enjoy the video guys :D.

You know what? I dont even know what else to say because I keep getting hooked by the video :D. i'll update tonight because I know I had something to say but I totally forgot what it was because of the video AHAA. ok ok, off to bed.
oh well, gnite ppls! :D

ants.



Liverpool 5 - 0 Singapore. totally expected scoreline. I'm not a liverpool fan but I still watched the march at home and frankly speaking it was a boring match. Singapore's defence were like ants running around while Liverpool players were making a fool out of them. We have to give credit for the singapore players cause they represented our country but we also have to admit that we're totally not up to standard yet. Give it 10 years and we'll still be like that if we dont change the way we play soccer. maybe a solid coach would strengthen the team eh? anyways Kuyt was probably the man of the match because he created so much havoc on the right side. That new guy Nemeth from Hungary is also good and I can't wait to see him play in the premier league. Torres was a disappointment for the match because hes unfit now.

Anyways we didnt perform yesterday because we had trouble with the tickets so we decided to call it off. Halim is having 5 days mc for his high fever so we're gonna wait for him to recover before we move on to another gig.

I'm not entirely sure what im doing up so late but oh well. blame starbucks :P. to be precise, blame mocha frapuccino for keeping me up. I like the caramel from coffee bean better but theres no coffee bean nearby :(. okay sleep time! gnite ppls! :D

sleepy sleepy

this is gonna be a short one because i'm sleepy as hell. I just wanna say that we didnt perform just now because we had trouble with the tickets. I havent been updating lately because i'm just so damn lazy :P. ok ok tonight! i promise! :D

solar eclipse?

alright there will be a partial solar eclipse in singapore at around 8:39am tmr so be outside around that time to look at the sun. i'm a little disappointed cause we decided to cancel children of the night cause our vocalist isn't ready for it. WHYYYYYYYYYY?! its his song choice! bah, nvm. anyways me and halim practiced our 7 songs last night and its going very well :D. the theft is complete, feel good drag is 90% done and children of the night is 75% done. you can see why I was excited to play those songs. We'll be playing at the gossip bar at 4pm this saturday so if you want to come, buy the tickets from me! Katherina will also be performing there at 5pm so its gonna be a blast! :D. oh and i'm also gonna cut my hair tmr at gombak at night cause its getting long. It feels damn uncomfortable lah. tmr is also my go-back-to-school day after 6 days of MC. okay im gonna end it here, remember solar eclipse guys! i'll update tmr!

impersonations

Sorry if I havent been updating lately but as you all know, I have been very sick these days and it just sucks up my energy, leaving me restless and lazy :P. first of all I would like to say HAPPY BDAY FIZZ. I think the guys took him out to watch harry potter? haha I hope they had fun :). anyways I met up with Faizal, Syamil, Kawi and Jon just now to play soccer at pending. wah its been awhile since ive played soccer. My stamina is next to nothing now so I really need to do some running asap! But however all of us enjoyed the whole session because we played quite well considering the fact that its our first time playing together.

Anyways I have been delaying this entry for quite awhile now lah and its almost 12:45 :|. I was busy watching youtube videos of this guy doing many cartoon impersonations. Its so funny aha here i'll give you guys the link. This guy is the BEST. HES AWESOME! here's some of his best impersonations in my opinion.

'Ima firin my LAZOR! brrrrr!' AHAHAA - Shoop da Whoop
'HAKUNA MATATA! What a wonderful phrase!' - Timon from The Lion King
'Stars.' - Nemesis from Resident Evil Movie
'Congratulations ladies and gentlemen. You're watching the one billionth joker impersonation on the internet. WHY SO REPETITIVE?!' - Joker from Batman: The Dark Knight
'Hello Jack, we have to move the Island!' - some guy from Lost series



This guy is the best. No contest, here's another one with a lot of cartoon characters including simpsons, ed, edd n eddy, family guy, spongebob squarepants, bugs bunny, tazmanian devil, teenage mutant ninja turtles etc. its damn funny!



aaah omg I cant stop laughing xD. frickin funny impersonations. alright before I end I gotta say that thank god the inflammation of my left tonsil stopped and its not super huge now. My dad said that if by tonight my tonsil is super swollen again, we may have to remove BOTH of my tonsils by surgery like he did when he was young. wah no no no. but my tonsil was really swollen lah it was super hard for me to even swallow my pills. Can you imagine having the pill stuck at your throat walls thus choking you? ugh :x. ah well I gotta go to sleep now so i'll end it here.

Saturday, July 18, 2009

it's hard to speak without a tongue.

if youre wondering why im updating my blog at such a time, its because I woke up from my sleep about an hour ago. The left side of my throat feels like its really swollen and I can't even sleep in peace. I went to the doctor again yesterday and he gave me more medicine because the initial ones he gave didn't seem to work. blah so that means I have to swallow like 5 or 6 pills 3 times a day :(.

Its damn painful lah especially when I swallow those pills. Its like putting pressure on the swollen part everytime I swallow someting. I almost puked on atleast 2 of those 6 pills just now heh. stupid high fever... I hope I dont get throat infection and end up in the hospital like Aidil. You know to think of it, isnt it the same thing that happened to aidil? I hope my throat stops swelling because I can't sleep!!! I cant even open my mouth wide let alone talk properly without it hurting like crap. BAH. nvm im gonna force myself to sleep. i'm damn grumpy so I shall end it here.

like a sombooooooodee

my temperature was 38.8 degrees celcius yesterday but now its lower.. so yes, I am sick. the school didnt let me enter because I was sick :O. oh well, whatever. its not like I like the school anyways so its a win-win situation. I'm on MC for 2 days but the doctor said if I'm not feeling any better, I should come back. aaaargh. anyways katherina's gig at ngee ann poly just now was okay but the equipment there sucks so bad. SX amp? come on, even my amp is better than that... and my amp is considered to be sucky! :x nvm rockfest coming soon, what lies within and katherina, 25th of July. :D

i'll update soon i guess, as for now. i'm gonna crash out. like a someboooodee fuc you bic! i hate uuu! ahaha. enjoy this guys! (this is part one, there is part 2 on youtube!)

unexpected source of info

Sorry I couldnt update yesterday ppls, I was really sick and I had no mood to do anything at all. I went jogging in the evening with mom and we talked about lots of things along the way. She was talking about how couples these days decide to have alot of children when they get married. According to her its not a wise thing to do because of the economy right now and I agree with her. I would just have 1 or 2 children at most when I do get married in the future. but im not gonna raise my family in s'pore. I told her that once im done with alot of things like school and NS, i'm definately not going to stay here. Maybe i'll stay here temporarily to get enough money to move there but 1 thing is for sure, i'm definately going to the states with my future wife. oh yea and she also reminded me not to marry a malay girl ahha. its just self preference okay, nothing serious. my mom is cool in so many ways ahha, i love her alot :D.

oh and yeah she also told me that outer beauty is 1 thing but inner beauty is whats important. Rich also doesnt mean that the person is a good choice. It made me realise that there is no such thing as love at first sight. I always get confused about it because I always thought that love at first sight means you get to know the person fully... when it turned out to be the exact opposite. HAH. I am such a dork :x.. my mom also introduced me to this indonesian drama called 'Nikita' and one of the actors is really pretty in my opinion. well to think of it, my mom was right when she said that girls from Jakarta are really pretty because they're either mixed chinese or mixed dutch/french. You know its awkward that my mom told me about this show and the girl.. my mom is cool AHAH. she got good taste! :D



ahhh anyways if I sum it all up, I would say that my mom is probably the coolest mom ever because you never know what is going to come out from her mouth :P. okay anyways i forgot to tell you guys that I am planning to join the SOC if possible when its time for me to serve NS. I like anything related to SWAT team stuff so hopefully I do get it. The pay is good too so I guess we'll have to see. There is a STAR team in singapore but if im not wrong its like the equivalent of commandos in the army. That means they only pick the elites. bah. nvm, Special Operations Command is good enough for me :D.

okay well im getting sleepy as times goes by so I shall hit the sack right now. too tired to go on and the drowsy medicine is kicking in.
oh well, gnite ppls! :D

Temperature: 39.5 degree Celcius.. heh

holy goodness

i've decided to remove my previous entry because its something personal. the song is nice though. heh anyways i'm gonna update my blog as promised so here we go!

Mizi has one of those dream car entries so i'm gonna make one too :D. Okay, top 5 for me.

Number 5: 2009 Nissan GTR. Great looking car especially with body kits on it. You could replace the front gtr logo with a decepticon logo and it will still look good :D.



Number 4: Porsche Cayman! It looks so good with a nice spoiler, unfortunately it doesnt have a spoiler in this picture. see even the hot woman is attracted to the car!



Number 3: Audi R8. Like mizi said, whoever designed this car is a genius. It looks good, the engine sound is loud as hell and its every boy's dream to have one. kudos to the guy who made this.



Number 2: The Almighty Lamborghini Reventon. Only 20 made in the entire world. 18 of them are already reserved by people who have enough money to waste 3 million dollars for a car. It looks like a stealth fighter!



Aaaand my number one car. All time Favourite: Porsche Carrera GT. It's not even available in Singapore so I can continue dreaming. If i could get my hands on one of these... ohh the things I would do with it. I'll be getting tons of requests from people to give them a ride home AHAH. dream on Herrizal, maybe one day. Start off slow first.



Alright so that sums up this entry. Yes its all about cars. Boys will be boys ahha. okay im gonna end it here because this entry is pointless. i'll update later with a much more meaningful post. for now, i'm gonna collapse on my bed and listen to some songs.
oh well, gnite ppls! :D

where'd you go?



That was the saddest part of the whole memorial :(. I watched it live that night at 3am on cnn. it was damn sad lah :(. Especially when her daughter Paris said 'ever since i was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. and I just want to say I love him... so much'.

omg it was so emotional. everyone who has a heart felt sorry for her. omg i had tears in my eyes when she said that okay! *sniff*. like i said anyone who has a heart would feel sorry for her! RIP Michael Jackson.

i'm currently waiting for sch to end. i forced myself to go to school just now even though I was lazy. reached school around 1050am and here I am ever since. still waiting for it to end because i'm getting sleepy as hell. I have to study when I get home cause i've been slacking lately. i'll update tonight so look out for it. alright i'll end it here, i'll update later tonight ppls! :D

'we end up hurting the worst: the only ones we really love.'

Hey guys! :D Halim came to my house on friday and i taught him how to play the feel good drag. its almost done.. just needs a little more adjustments and we'll be done. we'll be having another gig on the 18th of july with Katherina! yeah!!! This is the first time we'll be performing together so we need alot of support from you guys okay! It will either be at Rock Pub or Gossip Bar. (i need to find out where exactly that is). Tickets are $8 each and we need to sell 20 tickets. buy from me! :D

alright so a couple of my aunts, uncles and my cousin Affie dropped by just now after some wedding ceremony. I didnt go out today because the air conditioner guy was here to clean up the 3 aircon's in my house. okay so I got some shut-eye in the noon and woke up around 7pm. Affie was using my computer webcamming with her neighbour or something when I woke up. She then insisted that I sing with her any song because its been awhile since we both sang together. I didnt want to do it at first but I didnt want to be a jackass so I played along :P. I actually wanted to play and sing paperthin hymn but she didnt want to so we went along with inevitable instead. it's for fun anyways so dont go all 'you suck' on me please! watch in high quality!



i think i'll do a full cover of any song that comes into mind soon. any suggestions? :D ahh i have to get ryan to do a cover with me since he has the semi acoustic guitar that is quite expensive. it sounds good so you know, no suprises about the price there. anyways these 3 songs are already confirmed and will be played by us on the gig day.

The Feel Good Drag - Anberlin (the song playing in my blog right now)
The Theft - Atreyu
Children of the Night - The Blackout (yeah!)


Then the other 2 songs, its a hard one. I don't know if they allow hardcore stuff like TDWP so i'll make a list of unconfirmed songs

The Devil Wears Prada - hey john what's your name again?
The Devil Wears Prada - Dez Moines
The Devil Wears Prada - HTML Rulz Dood!
Alexisonfire - Water Wings


If they dont allow hardcore stuff or if we feel uncomfortable of doing it, we will be playing 2 of these songs

Anberlin - Paperthin Hymn
Silverstein - Smashed into Pieces
Funeral for a Friend - Juneau
Funeral for a Friend - This Year's Most Open Heartbreak


and that's pretty much it! It seems like alot but we're limiting it to only 5 songs or maybe if we have time, 6 songs. 30 mins should be enough for 5 songs. anyways i think im gonna be sick real soon. damn.. a fever is definately coming. lets hope its not swine flu so it doesnt end my life okay? ahha okay lah i'm gonna end it here. i'll update soon yea? sorry for neglecting this blog. oh yea and i've deleted the previous entry for personal reasons.
oh well, gnite ppls! :D
