Basically the raddest thing on earth
NOTE:
People I have vowed not to use my computer from next week onwards, and limiting myself to only one hour this week. So this might as well be the last post before exam ends (22nd october? Iunno) So 1 month without blogging would be quite hard. But I'll be setting aside breaks for myself. Which is cool. yeah.
ENJOY THE AWESOME BANJONESS

Bep bop
It had long dawned me that a lot of songs, around 65% of them, are based on personal experience. Country music and those acousticy stuff are the biggest offender. Well, you can't call that an offence. A lot of rock songs put these into metaphorical lyrics and fancy poetic stuff. Raps basically talk about the same 3 things and pop songs too.
Maybe the reason I like old songs is 'cause there's a lot of diversity in them. With the exclusion of the ramones (drugs, women) and Green Day (same thing), it contains way more things than if you compare it to the likes of the much obviously titled womanizer by the artist who had a real sad life.
But I shall not comment about musical tastes 'cause I know it's one of those sensitive things like religion. I'm serious! You don't know how pissed people get when their favorite band gets dissed. Well, I had to live with this for a while 'cause nobody likes My Chem except for those crazy fangirls, which we real fans ttly despise.

Man I'm not quite happy with a lot of stuffs in my life. I can't seem to get things right. Well until fasting ends (next week), I'd be too dehydrated to do anything after school in school, and probably will fall asleep at home after waiting 20 minutes in the searing hot sun for that lousy bus that never come on time. Well I do try. The library's quite a nice place. But when you smell like old socks and your tongue is drier than likeen's joke, it may not always be the case.
But I must really hit the books. A lot of things forgotten for both maths, nothing's going into my head for physics and I'm barely passing my humans.
Owh I got meself a twitter account. Because it's cool like that. Nah I'm not gonna update it often, just to see what david blaine is up to. He's quite BAMF.
Oh! Oh! The intro for choir for EMD really ticks me off, since they did say "One of the best in singapore". They didn't consider the supermegaubercool JC choirs lor. Ah well. Oh yeah and their pronounciation for occhi is as written. Or "O Oh-chee Man-za me-a". Haha.
We had to do this silly choreo for Come Go with me. Even if aaron says it's quite nice, he DID come up with that finger wagging thing. I'm sure what's gonna happen is that half the people aren't gonna really do it, like only half-heartedly. Oh and laughing. We're not supposed to laugh on stage but it's really hard. Geez. But if the audience is as shell headed as some people, they should be okay with it. Meh and our fascinating and unique black long sleeve shirt and different colored tie is so unique. Hurr.

Sometimes I just wanna listen to music. Foo Fighters rock. Go listen to them.

ED-FREAKING-DIT: No more justice in this world. Just media.
More proof on this media thing is in moosebutter's article about America's got talent. I've been quite a big fan of the a capella group, and that article made me not want to watch tv ever (Except maybe for conan o' brien and sitcoms).
Who's moosebutter you ask? Well they're a musical group, best known for singing "John Williams is the Man", a song that's made up of the different songs from movies that John Williams wrote music for. Lyrics centred around star wars. The song was made popular by Corey Vidal, who lip-synced to the video and posted it up on the net (which is basically another example of this media thingy, everybody crediting Vidal for singing the whole thing but I just find that with his voice, he couldn't do it).
I'm not gonna tell you all the whole story, but basically they didn't get in because America's Got Talent just wants people who they could market.
To all you people interested (and you should be), read the whole report here by Mistertim from moosebutter. It opens your eyes.

Prac today was okay. Pasigin is quite a nice song to listen to, but a hell to sing. It's even worse than pokpok! I mean at first sight. Now pokpok is damn fun to sing. And singing it while you can't drink is hell too. I mean with all the high notes and all. Grr.
Geez these days I'm so packeed. I just want to sleep at home. Hadn't had a free da- fine there was tuesday but I spent the whole day playing winning eleven instead of sleeping so heckk. Hmm hmm. Tomorrow there is EMD practice and normal prac on saturday. Ooh cool I'll sleep on sunday. Hm sunday's cool.
Okay it's 8 pm and I haven't taken a bath. Shouldn't procrastinate.
I'll take a bath at 8.30. Yeah. Cool.

Mug
I've had like 4 people on MSN telling me that they've got to go mug. I have nothing against you guys, but I just wish I had the motivation to do the same thing.
I just wanna enjoy this holiday before I kill myself studying before the exams. Aaah I'm forgetting term 1 stuff.

JackBlack
Still on music appreciation, I think why Dewey Finn (Jack Black) from School of Rock is so lovable is not only because he's a simple-minded metalhead who thinks he can make it but also his appreciation for (good) music. He knows what's good for him. From the Ramones to Aretha Franklin. He's quite cool.
I guess you should expect more of these short posts in the future.

Appreciation
I just recently opened my mind to new things. I like way more things than before. Although a few things still suck. I now tip my hat to early 00s boybands. I just realized that they could sing damn well. Ah well.
Playing music nonstop today!. Played like all the song on my itunes since like 5+. I love Smashing Pumpkins. What's new. Foo Fighter is awesome. What's new.
Ah so me and Rifdi were talking about how each band makes us think of something, like Smashing Pumpkin's chorus sounding like summer or Aerosmith sounding like an warm autumn ballad despite the screaming. It's really fun coming up with these kinds of stuff.
Gosh I am bored.
Oh yeah went to Marine Parade town centre for service learning today. Some carnival thing. The class helped out the people take the elderly's height and weight, do surveys, and teach them how to play wii. Hahaha. Me and Nick Lim were running around taking pictures, fighting to see who should stay at the stall and take pictures of the elderly who wants their picture taken. They gave out hokkien noodles after they played wii bowling! How awesome is that. Yeah so there was this magician guy, he's really awesome. Haha saw the ping pong ball when he tenkai-ed it. And now I know how to multiply ping pong balls ;). Gimmicks! Yeah then there was this guy who went to take his picture twice 'cause he forgot that he took it the first time. Old age is a scary thing.
Oh yeah then SM Goh Chok Tong came! Took pictures of him and the toilet lady. Then he passed by our wii thing and tried it out. TING YAO GOT A PHOTO WITH HIM AND THE SM TOOK THE PHOTO HOME. He's so famous lah. I mean ting yao. Then there was this policeman who looked like Zuraimi. Hahaha.
Anyway photos for that event is up on facebook!

La-wasteoftime-la la la
Wow things have been a waste of time recently. So there is this Army open house thingy I had to go with 3I people on thursday 'cause I couldn't go for it today 'cause I've got friday prayers and stuff. It was really boring. I mean no offence to 3I peeps you guys are great together but I couldn't enjoy it if it weren't with my own class lah. I'm sure if I went today I could kill so much more time. Arrrrr.
hm what else happened. Got back my results. My L1R5 is 18. Must really buck up for SA2. I think my humans need work. Scratch that everything needs work. When holiday finishes. I promise. No procrastination here.
hm hm so what was it today oh yeah. EMD confusion. Jialok wants a few people in for EMD... i don't. Well 'cause that guy (CHIACHINHOWE) doesn't care about choir. Don't think he deserves it lah. And we're overflowing with tenors. Geeeezzz.
That's it basically.
Oh yeah.
nevermind.
goodbye people!

Art of...Misdirection
I'm not gonna ramble about how I never blog anymore. I've decided to keep this blog as a type of ocassional output when i really have something to say, or really bored and have something to say.
So Alex left a few weeks ago. It was really sad that he left, now I have no one to do magic to or teach me magic. But the farewell thing at eastcoast was puh-retty rad okay. Check out my facebook for the 6 languages thing, Junda was unstoppable with his hokkien man! There was a lot of hypering and stuff, really one of the few times I get to laugh like crazy. Also the only time I could laugh like hell in a foodcourt. Hahaha Zhongwei and his monkey language.
And then there were checking of scripts and stuff. Failed physics, the second time I actually failed something. My Bio is Just passed and for some god forsaken reason I got A1 for my chem (MY CHEM WHOO). I swear to god some people mark with bias one lor. I am sure some people could speak better than said people. Dang lah, this means that I must fix my attitude otherwise teachers will just get pissed while marking my work and spot every single mistake that I do, even if the rest of the world is doing it too.
Oh geez I sound so simple plan-ish. That's not good.
Just passed SS paper. Russell and Amos are crazy people, 24/25 for SS. Sadly Russell had to leave for Australia. Which kinda sucks. Emaths was pretty good, since there was only one test and I was lucky enough to get marks even after skimming through. And even though she might be pretty naggy, the trainee teacher for Emaths whosenameIfailedtolearn was good enough to chase me to the end of the earth for my homework. If that didn't happen maybe I'll get like b3 for Emaths. Amaths was average nothing special. I got 3rd in class for Malay D: (Out of 12 people). Just barely made A1. It's my compo. I've got to fix some things.
My L1R5 should hover between 17 and 19, depending on my Amaths score, which I forgot.
I am going to actually study a few weeks earlier for SA2. I only studied like what 1 week earlier for SA1? I need to do that so I could even out the time and so that it doesn't get compressed and you spent 1 day before your bio exam making notes which you don't even read. So when school reopens after the holidays, I will study. I WILL.
Hmm hmm let's see what is next.
Ah choir.
Singing while fasting is really tiring. I think my most tiring days come not from when I have PE but those days which I have choir. I just wanna faaiiint. I mean sure I could hyper a bit less but what's the fun of that? Oh I heard that the MOE performance was quite bad and some people (AHEMJUSTINGOHCHONGJUAHEM) were being a pussy and all and made bad comments and stuff. I don't think that's the way justin no it's not. And if you start with that "Sorry lah someone noob lah" thing I make sure I get people to whack you. Justin you attentionwhore.
I think david blaine is really awesome. Yeah his dive of death was kinda crap but his street magic is quite the awesome. I like how people always look where magicians want them to look, and not realize that their watch is missing. Hohoho.
Oh yeah oh yeah teacher's day. It is quite the BAMF. Went home after buying Mirrors (the cards, not the object) from kallang leisure park. Slept for like 5 minutes at home. Ran out to get a taxi to Bukit View. Went in and saw chunn hay. And then got dragged by people to mosh outside the HOD room, waiting for the teachers that are eating to get out. Then we realized that they're not coming out anytime soon so we went upstairs to the library. The librarian wasn't there D: Then Zhi Sheng and Gaby joined us. Walked around the school. Then saw Mrs Lee (Ms Tan O:). She treated the people drinks! I WANNA BUY DRINKS. But i'm fasting so nabil decided to come and share the suffering with me. Mwahahaha. Everybody was surprised at how much he's changed over the 3 years. Well not me since I saw him last year. Then went back to school and had a long talk session with everyone. Quite fun. Then they decided to go for dinner. Since i live in the east and was fasting, I had no choice but to go home if I don't wanna die of temptation.
Oh yeahh EMD. Husref's supposed to see what we can do thus far tomorrow, but since we NEVER actually practiced for EMD (since we chose the pro people) I guess it doesn't matter. I am hurrying the choir people to practice, but I guess that's just impossible. Since things are so much more important. Right.
These days I'm getting Way bored. So if you see me online on MSN, just talk to me. Please. :D
