how should i know?

arh, shit. how do you feel whn someone is emoing. especially he/she is your friend. it's pretty difficult to be in that stand actually. screw it.

jamming... again...

today was pretty ok, i think. but i felt that bassing the same song over and over again using the same scales is pretty boring. pentatonic, pentatonic and more pentatonic. it's very repetitive though. it's quite fun too, played with max and hui jia. her expression was priceless whn we hit the jabs, she just stopped and stared at us. haha. hope all of us learnt something today through jamming. i really like jamming nowadays, especially just drums and bass. just pure pounding on both sides, shannon with some weird rhythm and i'll be struggling to keep up with him. as for mandy, i'm more comfy, coz he's not at shannon's crazy caliber, which i can relate to him quickly. all very fun.

last wed, charlene's pop chinese, performance wise was pretty messed up but the preparation was very fun. got funny funny chords and i try to break my pentatonic scalings as my fill-ins. sounds pretty good for starters, but very boring for pips that really want variation. my bass solos as well, boring, pentatonic boredom. break it baby!

cant wait for attachment for the cash. new bass new bass! hope there's some good deals for 2nd hand basses, i'm looking out for stingray, MIJ Fender JB. slap machines. the squier's pretty in bad shape now, dun wanna go for repairs coz the difficulty is there for my finger training, so whn i hit on a better guitar, i get to perform better, i hope.

by next sem i should get a bass teacher, since sean got nothing much to teach, except for music theory and some guitar stuff. wah, come skills, come... can i go pro then?

play the funky music!

yesterday was superb. it's 7.30 pm at the waterfont in esplanade. JIVEHOLICS! haha. i dun know whether i spelt it correctly, the poster spelt it worst, JAVAholics. haha. it's superb man, the live and all, particularly their 3rd set, where it comprises of fast pace music, funk and even latin. if i can get my foundation right, i may wanna take a step into latin, even though it sounds like the classy classy kinda music (i'm a poor boy, not rich, just amazed by latin), i wanna try it out and play with it.

there's a few weird stuff yesterday though. the soundman, i think he's from DXO. bloody boost the bass drums till i can feel my jeans vibrate, and boost the highs in the hi-hat. too much vibs till one of the speakers fell off from it's position, which is on top of another speaker.

"i can make this shit move" - matilda

if you wonder who's that, think of singapore idol. haha. YES, IT'S HER! she's able to stretch her vocals man. superb. *bai bai* haha... really good vocal.

after the live, we went for food and YES! CARL'S JR! thn hit the last train home and it was already 1 in the morning. it's great!

band name

sean seems to be quite busy nowadays so i think the band kinda put to a halt. so, i've formed a new band. haha. really new band. drummer just learnt HER drums last year and bassist just learnt bass this year. so it's very new and all of us are very inexperienced. even though i dont think this is a business thing, i hope we can really improve as a band. play simple and improve in dynamics, techniques and theories. it's pretty much an improvement programme. still searching for a band name as usual. haha. was thinking of calling it lingerie talkshow, but it's pretty obscene, so scrapped it. haha.

went to church today as usual, same row of seat and head to taman for lunch. finished gun x sword at kian's, pretty nice anime. haha. thn home now.

funk beats...

i do not know why but i was constantly discouraging myself in my own works. i guess i dun really have that much esteem and even though i have my pride, i'll just let things slip away and not pursue further. i feel kinda like pope john, i dun mean i am or any other humbling characteristic of him (he's like superman), when he got shot and he forgave the person who shot him. just a thought, does this really happen in the real world within most of us nowadays? it's a dilemma to me, to choose between pride or humbling myself and let people step on me, eventually things will start to go no where. situation wise, if you choose pride, you cannot really expect what the person's reaction will be. what if he just blasts at point blank and you not only have to defend yourself, you got your reputation shattered in front of all your superiors, inferiors, juniors, seniors, etc. so how about humbling yourself? you too will not expect what the person will do (again), instead you will just get stepped over.

projects been quite fun actually, even though i'm like way behind others. haha. super behind. but it's fun. paul and danial needa get their work done, leiyun needa get programs done and i needa get my Keil C and some boards done. ADC is working! 1 down, 6 more boards to go. woohoo.

frisbee

omg, i cant play frisbee anymore. i'm like the person that i first been whn i touched a frisbee. the adrenalin. the "shiokness". woohoo. just wanna play frisbee again, didnt really touched it for months and i cant aim.

even though i only touched the disc twice (coz i'm in the stronger team where i'm dragged by benny's friend), i still feel kinda happy coz i'm like, "i'm playing frisbee again!". haha.

ok, time to relax. oh. i saw a roll royce on tuesday night. i was like, "THAT IS IN SINGAPORE!" well, not everyday you can see a rolls royce on the sg streets. it's a moving millon dollar.

holiday...

well, the title does not really contribute to the post. i'm not having a holiday anyway. project days are just there to waste your time away where you actually bring things home to work on. i just wanna get it over with, just put aside all my laziness and work on it. actually, i did review myself. Even though i told everyone i'm lazy, i realized i did pretty much work.

Why edmund is not a lazy bum:
- he does his home work
- loves to enhance his reports
- practices the bass guitar at least once every 2 days, most of the time, daily
- thinks about project
- playing a leading role (i think) in the project
- fills the ice tray when it's emptied
- does house chores
- cooks


Why you think edmund is a lazy bum:
- he's fat
- has a huge appetite
- does not exercise frequently
- desires keep to the 8 hour sleeping rule
- keeps long hair


so do you still think i'm a lazy bum?

i've this feeling that i should just keep away from cell group or even young adults meeting. it's the devil? or it's just the feeling that i just wanna stay put on one spot, not being pushed by anything and take steps without a rope attached to my neck and dragged by a donkey? i dunno man.

oh, i found this chio bu in scc. dunno whether can i know her or not. haha. she seems popular.
