Personal/Ideals/Friends & Family
June 21/22 - YW's Crib Camp ok, this is not exactly a new post. It's an update. Mere update, since people like updates.heh.
I had one my so-called farewell family big dinner at my suggested place, Chillis at G-Hotel. Expensive. Good. Satisfactory. Good blow to the stomach. Then I was dropped at YW's Crib 66. OhMyF*ingGuitar(OMFG). There's Playstation 3! There's Jackson Dinky with the mama, Roland Micro Tube. Equipped with built-in Distortion, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Delay and Reverbs. Even though it's "micro" the volume can easily be used for a small gig. Actually if you want stadium rock, it's not volume it's output. Big volume from a micro to a stadium would sound like a rat giggling.
Finally, I JAMMED... not perfectly but at least it's a good attempt, with YW on Dir En Grey's Undecided. Tried pinch-harmonics. Not good. Oh ya, the overnighting members: Jonathan, Hooi and Jared. Jon came too but left early again at 11.30pm. Playstation 3 rocks big time. Is it Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas? It was our big hit of the night. Then we start worshipping, the Pick Of Destiny movie. Great. Jonathan and I started playing that Rainbow. At around 3am, we hit the sports channel. Holland vs Russia. OMFGoal! Holland lost 1-3! WTH. I'd been supporting every losing game ever since I started watching Euro08 that are 3 consecutive losses. In Astro, a movie caught our attention and it became a signal and impact..no, nothing.. A movie about Eddie/Gwen who is transsexual struggling to love and be loved. "She" was murdered.
6am in the morning, YW and Hooi had their shut-eye. Jonathan and I went on to scour the gaming the world. Yes!!! oh YES!!! We owned a number of maps. We got better and better and it's totally addictive. Plentiful of swearings and furiousness at playing it. Stopped at 10am. 4 hours in the morning. YW brought in tauhuay for breakfast. Then, everyone back to sleep. Until like 1pm. Pizza for lunch. Continued sleeping till like 3pm. The final. YW showcased his Avenged Sevenfold's Beast And The Harlot rhythm guitar part accompanied by the music. I'd say, he is good and has improved in playing the electric guitar. Me, finally, did the so coveted technique called pinch-harmonic. Sayonara. YW's going back in like another 7 days but we'll still be having outings with him until then.
And...i present you in public my first ever home studio recording. It's my final attempt on the pinch-harmonics. It's a video with audio only and no visual. Lame la but at least I try, it's not called shredding it's grating. So, click it load it and play it. I think the final 10 seconds is funny...
wth. what kind of update/post is this? diary-esque...doesnt matter..just fun..

*Latest update at the versions and points of view of others of the steamboat dinner post. Lots of photos from those links.
*Latest update on the BBQ party post.
France is officially out from Euro 2008.
Beaten by Italy 2-0.
It's almost 5am now...and the match just ended few minutes ago.
Ribery injured.
Abidal sent off.
France performed really badly. They really need to buck up and seriously improve if they wanted to shine in the next World Cup or even at least survive. Or change strategy. There's no Zidane, Desailly or Barthez anymore so 4-4-2 might not suit the new players. I wonder why Trezequet, Pires and Cisse are not chosen at all to play, not even as substitutes. Zidane, try come back and help some coaching.
So, my next country to support is Netherlands. Yeah. Holland. Go!
[trying hard to keep my tears away....ah]
Merci.
