Every last minute before the defining moment was spent thinking on whether I should back out or go for it.
Then again, with the history of shit I usually do, might as well I go for it and make the purchase. After all, hey you lived only once and I wana tell my people of my life story and it must be interesting.
So I went ahead and make the purchase of a good deal of 200 bucks and this is what I get
Ladies and Gents, me new drumset! (without the cymbals and hi-hat YET…)
Yeah some random stuff toy posed for me…
Well, like I said in the previous post, I will keep updating esp. when I get the soundproofing of my room and cymbals set fixed.
As you know my room is like a shithole where the maggots and rats lived. Its not suprising to you readers that my room looks like shit as I am a boy who treats his room like ahis own penthouse without the exceptionally bootyliciosu latin maid (wth..).
So I have decided to make a room makeover. Like the ones you see on MTV or kids central if you recall. However, this is kinda on my own and its with my own money.
I wana pimp my room like Xzibit does with the rides. I want people to come to my room and never wanting to leave. So much so, it applies for me. So here is the blueprint or whiteprint of the plans for the changes and then as what my dumb course always asked to to i will justify!.
Ok, so that is about the mods. Now to summed up the costs for this upgrading…
Subwoofer and speakers = FREE!
Paint = $40 – $50
Sk8 ramps = $300 -$350
Drum set = $200 (drums only) + $250 (for cymbals)
Egg cartons and notice boards = <$50
Random IKEA furniture (chairs, table or decorations) and posters = <$150
So its gonna cost me less than 1K to make up my room which is uber awesome! Btw, this is just a roughdraft nothing is really final but the DEADLINE is before Hari Raya which is end of September (party on someday u rmbr…). Oh yes, the sk8 ramp its being contemplate whether to put at the place as planned or beside the drum set as it really depends how much space it takes.
So its like my hobby room… sk8, drumming and blasting music… hell yeah this is a kick ass room I wun wanna leave!. Of course, after the whole shit is done I will keep updating on its progress. Till then!
P.S. btw the blog post on Jason Mraz new album artwork was actually done by a famous scottish artist which he called up and get him to doodle. Apparently he specialises in that. I was WTF? when I heard it in MTVnews… postmodernist artist are so complexed!
So basically it has been an eventful week for me so this would be a long post. Yes about the title… Apparently, there has been an increase number of people wanting AC/DC’s Highway to Hell to be played during their funerals. Speaking of which, over the past week, I lost a dear one (sobs………..but not!!!) and for that I prefer Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven.
My dearest favourite all time grandparent from my paternal side which is my grandma past away from heart disease. Over the past year, having battling countless illnesses and the lost of a child (which is my prozac aunt btw) have reach the final exitlude for her. Sadly would be missed, especially her awesome fried rice which she cooks whenever I visit w/o hesitance and the time spent over the years during the years I was close to her.
Kudos for her…
Well next, here is a lame shit I discovered recently some mat did to his bike
sorry for the awful white balance lighting but as you can see this is horribly distasteful and to make it worst, I saw it again today…
I mean nobody cares when u’re speeding at 100km/h and the goddamn fact that my phone contact list has like a gazillion faizals (no offence to the faizal with “lizard” as his middle name)
Speaking of faizal, apparently the comparison photo I did of my sister and afeeqah was such a huge hit, I had to do another one and yes it involves the “lizard” Faizal. Doesn’t it get any better????
Ok look on the extreme right (props to Dominic for the photo while doing his PP research)
And this is the verdict…
Except for the lips, I must say this is prolly Faizal when he was grooving out in the 60’s or 70’s…LOL!
Cheers enjoi and keep a lookout for the next update folks!
Sorry for the late update but hey in the I manage to catch Amanda Ling in her mode on her keyboards and I was DIRECTLY in front her her screaming for her hand in marriage (yeah right….) and saying she is hot stuff. Forget the whiny MarchTwelve little girl who kept whining abt her little clubbing experience.
Forget that shit, Amanda Ling of Electrico hands down stole the show. Wanted to take a pic with her but seeing the massive mats and people around her, I rather not join the orgy cuz i prefer the one on ones. (photos i mean!)
Though, I did not bring my cam (stoopid fuck me in the asshole forgot to charge!), Shafiq took magnificent pics of her as if her was in a photography love trance with her enigmatic spooky esque performance while she was playing with her “toys” (keyboard and synthesizers mang!)
well I compiled all the photos and compiled them, photoship and edit them and vuala I tell a story thru this series of photos!
Title: Psychede-Ling Blossom
yeah people ogle at her psychedelic haunting display! (click on it if its too small to get the full pic)
basically the inspiration was her development from the “emo” self to a more confident and charismatic keyboardist with an edge but still retaining her aura of daunting spookiness! All this displayed in one show and compiled in chronological order.
Today is part 1 of a two day part gig at my institution of higher learning at Republic Polytechnic. Today’s expected crowd was expected to be small due to the wet weather, the low key appreciation for underground bands and rather go day 2 which has Plainsunset and Electrico and the fact that NOBODY DOES GIG’S ON FUCKING FRIDAY NIGHT. And yes this would be a 1st for me.
When, I heard Allura was performing, it is one act I will not missed. Furthermore, they are the kickstarters being the 1st band to perform officially on the awesome stage RP has made. (cheers and props to STA students!).
Hell yeah Allura kicked ass and they played Ladeda the free song u can get from the LIME mag a few months ago where they give a cd with a bunch of highly potential Singapore artistes. Seems like the scene is getting bigger and definitely better
Little did I expect that after their 30-minute gig, me and my buddies would be a “groupie” and asked to take photos with us. We did being unashamed (well you should know me by now!), we asked and they gave a +ve receptive response. We took a pic or two (a second pic doesn’t hurt) and here it is:
yeah dudes Inch, the lead gal singer is hotness in shortness. (thus the name, Inch?)
Allura seems to be pretty normal people, the dudes smoke and kinda friendly and shook hands instantaneously without prompting (even Inch!). I got into a convo with the drummer, second from the left, and talked about gig locations and recordings which is kinda cool from one drummer to another and he’s good (double bass drums is synchronized and harmonious).
We then dispersed, but it was not for long before Inch saw me and the dudes dancing to a “September” by Earth, Wind and Fire which Ruth Ling was covering at that moment. She joined in for a moment as you know how crazy we are. We had an awesome chat and smoke break from these guys and hell yeah I would buy their cd to see the credibility of the drummer’s assurance of “good quality recording” and also checking out the new singles. (btw Isa was busy with the bassist the dude on his right while Shafiq was sweating bullets).
Well this is part one of 2 (hopefully..) of the gig and I hope to attend tmrw’s which would have the main highlights performing.
Watch out Amanda Ling of Electrico, our guy “groupie” is aiming at you next! You won’t be bored when you play your keyboard (dun worry we’re kinda harmless or else how did I write this post?)
Was listening to Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People”, and it jolted and inspired me to write this entry.
This was taken outside Funan IT mall amidst the public eye and here is a skater boy snapping a shot.
Why?
I see beauty in disgust… The fact that a quick, unpainful yet gory death was given to this bird who was crushed by a vehicle by the looks of it. Although the body is bloodsplatterred, torned and ripped till u can see the guts. And yes anatomy!
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It’s all relative to the size of your steeple
You can’t see the forest for the trees
You can’t smell your own shit on your knees
This is the 2nd dedicated entry on the hyped handphone by Apple that apparently every fashionista and well actually everyone wants to own. This phone kills all the other brands big time and will prolly see everyone fling out this phone instead.
Yes, the iPhone 3G is finally out in America and certain parts of the world but yet to our puny stoopid island of Singapore. Being a loyal asswipe to this branding strategy, I have succumb myself to follow the story really closely.
So, the previous post was rather negative. This time it would be better for the worst. Hell yeah, it is wayyy negative.
Alright, I am no fan of Mathematics from A to G(thats what I heard). So take the US currency exchange with Singapore of US$1.35 multiply by the price of a typical 8gb iPhone in the US at $199. That sums up to around $270. Guess what? If you think that is the price that is going to be sold in Singapore think again. Just checked a few very reliable websites and vuala….
As u can see it would be sold at $690. $690 wtf!!!. It is cheaper than the hacked ones but fuck they rip us off the original price by wayyy over 100%. Plus u have to sign up for a miomobile plan which will make usage of the phone and yes ur bill very high. This is shit!. And oni 8gb!!! So that means we’re going to be on the dark side missing out on the WHITE iPhones in 16GB. FYI, NO PRICES FOR WITH PLAN OR WITHOUT PLAN SO ITS FIXED NO MATTER WHAT. GET IT?
Well, the good news is it would be out in September with all the new iPods hopefully just like every year on the same month.
Horrible cuz I CAN DRAW THAT OBVIOUSLY. Any average person can drew that piece of shit.
Its atrocious cuz it looks like an actual picture of Jason Mraz taking a photo of himself but put the white balance in Adobe Photoshop to the maximum and realise the outline of his creation was FUGLY.
However!. Its a genius as it moves away from the stereotypical and mainstream artwork of nice bullshit when the person could like a bunch of critters. I think he was thinking in the perspective of selling the music in a different way so it sells just like sex and violence.
Anyway, the music from the album is awesome so go grab it. PEACE!
Its been quite a hype youtube has started. From those unfortunate money grubbing companies who provide expensive cable, we confide in youtube as an alternative for internet viewing pleasure. Be it crap, nonsense, music or even movies at times, youtube has changed ourlives. Countless duplicates search video engine websites have emerged and fail never beating the epidemic that is YOUTUBE.
Well, of course its about YOU so once in a while if your video and reputation gets known ur video would have hit the million mark. These videos are usually the ones that everyone and someone in the community as stolen from Tron Guy’s quote would say that someone would know.
To recognise their fame or shame, I compiled a top ten list starting from the bottom. You may have seen some and some no but most importantly, Enjoi!!!
NUMBER 10# – TRON GUY
Its boring and lame. It just his suit and fat ass bulging from every single part of his body makes you wonder “How did that got wired?”
NUMBER 9# – STAR WARS KID
The limitations of being fat. Darth Maul will kill him if he sees this….
NUMBER 8# – LAUGHING BABY
Well, I must say I hope it does not stay with him till he grows up and see that he was famous then. Worst, I hope its not hereditary for we see a spin off of this
NUMBER 7# – MISS SOUTH (DUMB BLONDE) CAROLINA
Wow, and I thot Paris Hilton was the dumbest of them all. What if Aimee Teegarden in the video who ask the question would be replaced by a Singaporean and rephrase the question to Singapore’s location context…. Iwonder and ponder….esp when u ask where the hell is Singapore??? That’ll make her look dumber!
NUMBER 6# – CHRIS CROCKER “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE”
When Britney ask to “Gimme More” she meant men not dissing. And yes, point taken and all the shame goes to you fag.
NUMBER 5# – BABY PANDA SNEEZES
And I thot it was some mascots lazing around…
NUMBER 4# – CHOCALATE RAIN BY TAY ZONDAY
This guy sure holds his breath really well.
NUMBER 3# – SAMWELL’S “WHAT WHAT (IN THE BUTT)”
Is this queer, fag or gay??? I think its all….
NUMBER 2# – 2 ASIAN LIP SYNCH SINGING TO JESSICA SIMPSON’S “A PUBLIC AFFAIR”
This was easy… I could have been the douche with another douche doing this… this is better than the backstreet boy that got them famous
NUMBER 1# – DRAMATIC GOPHER
What can I say, the best 5 seconds of the Animal Planet.
SPECIAL MENTION:
1. DIET COKE AND MENTOS
Pure genius I’ve done a live testing on myself and end up being a mini Nigerian Falls (try it to believe it and suffer from it)
2. SOUTH PARK “CANADA ON STRIKE EPISODE” ON BUTTERS’ IMPRETATION OF “WHAT WHAT (IN THE BUTT)”
AHHHH, the 9 year old assholes that made me pursuit these videos…
3. NUMA NUMA
Chicken Little is much cuter, thinner and better in those moves. P.S. the parody sux!
4. AFRO NINJA
Redemption in concussion… this is why you leave the english singing to the westerners and the kungfu to easterners*CHINESE*. You do not switch them and this is wad happens!
5. WEEZER’S “PORK AND BEANS”
Weezer Sesame Street then, now the Youtube stars…. never seem to run out of ideas and Congrats on reaching number one on the rock charts.
Well, hit me up to a million in my stats… is that too much to ask when these videos packed a punched???
Yes, I’ve been rather musically adept in improving my awfully incredible drum skills. I even bought the “Drums For Dummies Book”. Now I know how to read musically written notes which I find incredibly annoying frustrating.
So I am bored and I wanna create a band. A band that will synth and lead on the march of saints to the anthem of tommorrow(WTF am I blabbering???)
So after comtemplating on whether this “band” of mine would be a quartet or quintet, I deicided on the latter(geezzz DEICIDED WTF, Glen Benton is going to chase after me with the inverted cross on his forehead)
Enuf thrash talk here is the final line up, btw the band’s name is ICED-MAIDEN-WEARS-A-BUCKET-IN-SPACE-IN-A-RUSH.(you’ll get it once u read further.
LEAD SINGER
Matt Barlow of Iced Earth
From growls to high pitched fat lady who sings voice, thats him. After much thot I suppose he would best fit in. I wanted Alexi Laiho but I guess he is too blooddrunk to work with anyone.
LEAD GUITARIST
Paul Gilbert
I dunno much about him but he shreds. Like really good comparable with Satriani and Vai.
GUITARIST
Buckethead
Niggas will swear at the sight of the KFC bucket on his head. Adds persona and on the famed electric guitar, Yngwie would be proud of his side partner. Hope he doesn’t fight with Paul on the solos though and drag the song into a 30 minute post horror of defamed school of rock Jack Black at the start of the movie.
BASSIST
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden
Wow, even in the old days when the bass really suck and stereo widening was not as cliche as today, this guy could be in my book the forefather of introducing bass into the music. To be in Iron Maiden is a huge bonus!
DRUMMER
Neil Peart of Rush
Ok this is my famed spot where I can speak alot. Had trouble contemplating between Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Travis Barker of +44 and Matther McDonough of Mudvayne which all these are pretty good drummers the dummies say and they are my faves. However, after Youtubbing(no i wasnt in a bathtub!) Neil’s solo drums, I gotta hand it over to him. Rush is the forefather of progressive rock/metal in which all its members are adept to their instruments. And yeah, I wana be like him but most importantly I want that drumset.
So we have our dream band. And you should know why I named the band ICED-MAIDEN-WEARS-A-BUCKET-IN-SPACE-IN-A-RUSH!!!
