Cybertron dan Destron @____________o

Where do I pick up? Sigh, told myself to write more this year but my laziness has once again got the better of me.

So in a quick round up, Stereophonics rocks!!!! Boy oh boy was I a happy boy : D Caught them at Fort Canning and salute to the flying Welshmen!!!!

They showed that it’s not the cosmetics and sound engineering that matters in a proper gig but experience, which they have a lot considering 11 years of touring, matters more!!!

The Phonics rounded up a good few months of musical banquet after catching EITS, Incubus and Incubus dan macam macam ada @ Sunburst!!!

Excellente!!!! Mi Amore!!!!

Then over last weekend I was at P.D for a nice getaway…..also caught Tiesto Freedom!!!!! (Insert mel gibson’s voice) tour at Admiral Marina. Not too bad, not too bad but guess I am mentally old of all these Beep!! Beep!!! Beep!!! Music stuff lah or maybe I’m no longer a poser trying to be a rave kaki or whatever lah…….just lazy is all I reckon

But the getaway in itself was very very nice….lovely water chalet at the avillion, best hotel I’ve ever stayed so far which is not a lot really, me is the stingy crash over kind!!! Not to mention the company was amazing!!! : D

On the downside, renovations headaches have no end in sight, sigh!!! Which reminds me, I’ve got to apply for an IKEA store card to help me furnish my place!!! Wah hey!!! They offer 0% repayment schemes up to 24 months for in-store purchases of 1K and above and that is a deal I cannot refuse!!!!!

Nice wan!!!!

All my Transformers will soon have a very chick display case to call home!!!! : D Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

AMpTiN3sS

Ok ok, who have I offended? Why am I cursed? Why god why, did you take my amplifier? Take me instead, take me…..Oh god why? Aargh…….

Drama, drama, drama………Just when I started a new piece………Hope I’ll remember the arrangements when the damn thing is fixed. Got to get my Boss Micro BR soon, can’t risk without writing all my stuff down.

On a high note, its been a massive 3 weeks!!!!

Saw Incubus twice in a week(although the played the exact same set : ( can’t blame, I reckon they never expected someone to see them in Singapore and a week later in Malaysia), Sunburst Music Fest really goooood.

Then it was Steve Aoki at Zouk, rocking D.J man. He ish likez the RawKK Star. Loved it, although there was an incident O________o rather enjoyed that bit too……

And lastly, Stereophonics confirmed a gig in Singapore!!!!! Yosh!!!!

“Made me feel like the one, Made me feel like the one….”

Guess that’s life huh, fine balance of ups and downs and its up to you how you wanna look at it. At the end of the day, only you can decide if you are happy or sad. Others influence, but its you that’s in control. Why choose death, when you have life? @___________-o

Letupan Kegembiran Hati ku Di langit Indah

Ah the bliss…..There is a buzz surrounding me and thanks to Explosion in The Sky, this sense of joy has been boosted to new heights!!!

Their gig in KL last night was great and even though I am not a fan, I have to say I am thoroughly entertained. It also drove me to do the fan boy thing of getting their album at the door and lining up for their autograph : O)

Not to mention, Munaf Rayani, one of the guitarists, has cemented a place in my top axe-man list. His onstage flair and style is mesmerizing and merges effortlessly into the streams of melodies & vibrations generated by the band.

To kung fu fans, try to picture Jacky Chan in his drunken fist persona playing a guitar and that would come close to Munaf’s onstage antics O_____o

With this high gained, I can only imagine how I would feel after Incubus’s gig early March!!!! To top it off I will see them once in Singapore and then again in KL!!!!!

Whooooeeeee!!!! I ish a happy little boy!!!!! Love this feeling

Questions of Solitude

I finally got everything off my chest which is great because I fell a little bit lighter. On the down side, I realiesed that I write better when I am in a depressive state. Music comes so much easier in that state of mind.

Over the weekend, I tried to complete another track started several weeks back and all I had was a blank.

Total frustration!!!! You feel happy and yet pissed off. Sigh, I guess that is what being alive is about. Now I have to learn how to evoke depressiveness and melancholy or alternatively keep doing things that will depress the hell of out me.

But how do you do something that would depress yourself? I think its near impossible, for me at least!!!

But I will write, I will continue to compose and I will succeed. I wish I will never fall in love, like really in love, because that will make me really happy and will definitely kill my inspiring requirements.

What the hell am I saying? Of course I want to fall in love. All I have to then is just turn ‘pop’!!!

Groan, If i ever turn pop, I will have to kill myself!!! Hey!!! now thats actually quite depressing!!! Hmmmm, this might work........

Untitled

All it wanted was for the truth to be heard,
A pillar doesn’t move even if it’s not rewarded,
Care and love does not change with answers,
It feeds on the fact that you’ll find happiness,

No, I won’t ask for more and
No, I won’t demand,
How can it be mad if all there is to give?

Time might change perception but stones,
Eventually decay will destroy us, proudly
Standing in the shadows, quietly
Giving and not requesting

No, I won’t ask for more and
No, I won’t demand
How can it be mad if all there is to give?

There is no nothing, just the way you think,
There is always something, just keep looking,

Till that time, It stands, Till that time

The Doors

Opening and closing doors is a delicate business. Sometimes it’s just plain impossible to know what is behind the doors.

Holding a door open is delicate too. Hold too long and you never know what may get in or get out. Keeping one closed too long and the world may past you by.

Finding the balance between the two is an elusive art and unfortunately it only comes with experience. I regret keeping too many a door closed and regret opening some but that is fine because I start learning the right time to open & close.

Sometimes eternity is not a long time but there are times 14 days are a lifetime.

Tangan Lambat

Wow i wish i could write lyrics this cryptic. Interpol is fast becoming my number 1 band.

"Slow Hands"

Yeah but nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet place
Can't you see what you've done to my heart and soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
We slow hands
Put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself now

I submit my incentive is romance
I watched the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms & grace
I just go crazy like the good old days
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you
Can you see what you've done to my heart and soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
Yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spiesOh yeah we slow hands
Killer, for hire you know not yourself

We spies
We slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spiesOh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else

We spies
Intimate slow hands killer
For hire you know not yourself
We spiesIntimate slow hands
You let the face slap around herself
