w000000000tz!!!!!!

I am, amazingly, blogging right now because I have participated in an event that I’ve been dreaming since I’ve started playing.. That is to battle in a competition! So last night, 9th November, we competed at the ISB Battle of the Bands 2007! It was pretty big until the tickets were sold out and some friends weren’t allowed to come in anymore!

On the day itself, I went home early morning from Byant’s place and returned around 2pm to get some vocals rite. And by 3.45pm a dude named Jason picked us up and sent us to ISB where we did our sound checks. During the sound check my sound pretty much SUCKED cos it was TOO SHARP! And honestly, that is NOT my sound.. I like my sound with more middle and a bit of bass with the treble around 4. So we checked stuff and realized that it was my pedal that doing it. AHH damn I gotta get a new pedal. OH well!

After sound check we went to a small "restaurant" which SImon says has "the best Mee Goreng" around. We ate and went back to ISB.. Saw some familiar faces and FRIENDS!

Before the event started there was a pretty long line and then boom ticket finished and angry ppl and lotsa !(@&#(@! and runing here n there ESPECIALLY BRYANT cos the girl he’s been expecting wasnt allowed to go in so yeah.

4 bands played before our show started.. 2 competing bands and 2 guess bands.. THEN IT WAS OUR TURN. MAN. Around 9ish (I dont know wat time it was cos i was so nervous and in a hurry) we started our setup.. WHICH WAS RUSHED and I DONT NOE WHY WE HAD TO! hAHHAHA to excited maybe. we had 5 or 10 mins to do that and we did it in less then 4 mins haha. Which resulted in my sound getting a high gain and sharp sound and unbalanced volumes which was in my opinion not very professional. So u can imagine all of us adjusting our sounds DURING the performance of the first song HAHA. well i changed my pedal btw and after lotsa adjusting… STILL NO USE. HAHA. Oh well u just gotta play and do ur thing.

We played Foxey Lady, Girl All The Bad Guys Want and Driven to Funk! The vocals were barely audible but hell.. we let the guitar do the singing. Hahaha. Lotsa two hand tapping, shreds and solos got us, MAYBE, the crowd’s attention. I waas pretty much high on moshpit energy cos i was going nuts. I am honoured to have played Hamish’s Gibson Les Paul with the gold finish and Bryant’s Ibanez JEM7V! Love the gold there haha! Those two guys are one of the nicest ppl I know who are also VERY awesome on the strings!

In the end The Snakes played during the voting and they were very very good! Especially the singer who, I think, is inspired by Steven Tyler because he has a bandana around and even tied it to the mic stand.

So the voting started and the band and I were pretty much having fun kicking each other’s balls, bullying Bridgette, smacking asses, me buying donuts and me buying donuts again. AND THEN..

.. Munah announced the awards and Best Vocals came first and Stealing Seconds won the award which I think they pretty much deserved. Then! Hahaha this is when everything became a blurr because Best Guitarist was announced and as soon as we heard SEVEN we CHEERED and Richmond and I went on stage and collected our award! And then on stage the Best Bassist was awarded to us too! and Bryant went on stage and THEN Best Drummer was awarded to US again which was given to RAYMOND! HAHA. And things happened so fast that in the end we were all on stage and I couldnt get off the stage cos i dint noe what was happening.. Until i realised we won 2nd place! WHICH WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR US! then Best Band was won by Stealing Seconds. OH well. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VOTERS ESPECIALLY TO MY PALS, Ryan, Igz, Albert, Mart and Harold from Bengkurong who were there for the support and to Paul too who waited till he got in! THanks man for coming! And to the ever supportive Paths, Mikko and Hanah! WOO!

HAHA then! We split the money and were very happy we won 2nd place considering that our last song was almost like an instrumental cos the vocals were not very audible hahahahha!

WOOO! 7 Minutes Of Fame! Coming to get ya! HAHAHA.

mmmm and to my Babe, Theodora Frances.. Get well soon babe =) I love you. I wish I could have been there with you. You know I’m here for you babe. HugsnKisses! Mmmm!

The quietness of that dark, cold place is very inviting.

This concert is just awesome. I’d perform just like that man hahahha.

Watch that!

NOT.

hehehhehe.

Well, the whole day my chest feels like there’s something constricting it. An angel must be hugging me. A big angel. And strong too. :S Oh well, i’ll keep a positive mind on things. Maybe i have a heart attack coming my way. =/ always expected one. with the lifestyle im living. and something is shut. needs to be opened again. its the book im reading HAHAHA.

People, hp7 is a good book to read.. too bad its the end =/

Was bored! So.... 

And so she woke up from a dream,
That was beautiful and starry and oh so wild..
It was all still clear in her eyes..
And though her mind was foggy and blank...
She wondered why her life coudn't be as lovely...
It was time..
There was this king, he had no castle or throne,
But his horse was great and white..
He rode alone and he liked it that way...
But when he met her, he swore,
He would never leave her side...

They rode across the land...
Two lovers hand in hand,
And no danger could come near...
And when something made her cry..
She'd look at him teary-eyed.
And he would make her feel better...

So much better... so much better than before...

And now this forest was their home..
It was the night time, and the right time for love...
In the dark.
She placed her hand upon his chest,
And then all the rest just flowed.
Making love down under an ancient far away time...

It was so grand.
Just holding someone's hand..
And so safety came naturally... oh yeah...
It was so clear that she would never ever have to fear...

Oh, tell me a story.
Of magic, and spiralling ships and stars in the sky.
Just whisper in my ear.
Make it soft and make it clear..
I wanna hear every breathe you say..

Sad to know that a bandmate is leaving~ And i couldn’t come to see him off… haih. =( ‘Cause Im the type who gets really attached to bandmates..if they’re nice to me that is. But I don’t show it that much. Haha. Its like a brotherhood. And a really great bandmate left last Wednesday, 18th July. I’m gonna miss your kickass drumming, bro.

Seriously haha. It’s an honour to be playing with you man. Jamming with you has been fun. Always has man! Get urself a kickass band there! u deserve it! haha.

So today.. wasnt so much.. Trying to figure out the bassline of My Redeemer Lives now. Freakin groovy.. And the slaapin’ and poppin’ is so funky! If anyone out there has figured it out or at least the slap n pop section after the first chorus.. i humbly ask for your enlightenment. HAHA.

Oh and last night I wondered what was so nice about the Transformers theme song cos about 4 people in my contact list were listening to it. Haha. So I asked Mc to send me the song. Not bad.. kinda cool. Plus I like theme songs (trust me, I even noe the pokemon theme song) and I got it down. Its in the key of G. Dropped D tuning cos the progression is G5 - D#5 - C5 - F5 and when u go D#5 u can hear that the sound is going down and you cant play a low D#5 on a standard E tuning. I mean well try finding it when the root is on the low E string.

The Pokemon theme song is cool btw.

They say music is a way of expressing oneself and this song is exactly what I want to say to Sunshine!

Click HERE for the song

I know that life ain't always good to you.
I've seen exactly what it’s put you through
Thrown you around and turned you upside downand so you..
You got to thinking there was no way out
You started sinking and it pulled you down
It may be tough you've got to get back up
Because you know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don't forget
You can count on me
Cause’ I will carry you till you carry on

Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me
To hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone

I wonder why nobody's waiting on you
I'd like to be the one to pull you through yourdarkest times
I'd love to be the light that finds you
I see a silver lining on your cloud
I'll pick you up whenever you fall down
Just take my hand and I will help you stand
Because you know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don't forget
You can count on me
'Cause I will carry you till you carry on

Anytime you need someone
Somebody strong to lean on
Well you can count on me
To hold you till the healing is done
And every time you fall apart
Well you can hide here in my arms
And you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone

So you can live today
Seems so long to yesterday
Keep on counting on me
To carry you till you carry on
Carry on

You know that life ain't over yet
I'm here for you so don’t forget
You can count on me cause
I will carry you till you carry on

Remember life ain’t over yet
I’m here for you so don’t forget
That you can count on me
To hold you till that feeling is gone

I got a really funny present from my bandmates the other day. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. It was a box of condoms size "S" (they said it was a joke hahah and it was funny alrite) and a packet for strings which says, "4th string" and inside was a G-string underwear. GET IT?! HAHAHHAHA.

Hmm… immature lovers and wannabe players are sprouting everywhere. Infatuation’s in the air. It’s funny. Haha. They think they’re so cool! Sheesh. I bet they’ll bitch about this post when they read this. It’s not like I’m talking to anyone of you. Haha if you feel like you’re hit then just shut up and make yourself a better person for that special dude/dudette God has given you. Anyways, my days of that stuff are over. (A) ‘Cause ive found someone who knows what I want. I love you.

Hmm. Oh and the other day I felt all nice and stuff and did lotsa good deeds in 20 mins. I wondered if I should tell the world cos i find it funny that i did all of that. Me? HAHA. But then I knew better that stuff like that are nothing to be bragged about.

I like hard rock. Theres something about it that’s so in-your-face. That’s why not many like it I guess. Cos they’re too deaf xD And it’s hard to find people who have oldskool foundations.

I’m so perplexed as to why I’m so motivated about studying and at the same time lazy to pick up a book or start doing some work. Haha. Im perpetually lazy!

Today wasn’t so special… I wish I got another late surprise. Maybe another box of condoms will do. HAHAHHAHA. This is getting boring. Bye-bye for now, dear reader. Thank you for your undying patience. Haha.

be one of the people who will make YOU smile! ok that was lame HAHAHHA. ok im fine now happy happy woooots..its not like i was sad or anything.. just worried. stupid monday hahahahhaa.

so today… is a good day cos

1. Its not a Monday.

2. Classes were laid-back today. I even got to start doing my Relative Velocity classwork! Hardcore additional maths students know what i’m talking about. xP

3. I had a textmate this afternoon!

Oh and somebody just juggled my head and asked me some questions and it was really nice cos I got to tell that person lotsa things. I hope I managed to show that person something new. HOPE.

tataa~
