91. Foot to Your Ball

Personal

Well, let's see.

In need of maintenance.

Something for the World Cup football season. My amateur start-ups haha. Economical and simple.

The boots. It's a Topper. Model is Brazil..should be.

Nike T90 Classic keeper's gloves. No, not kitchen mitts.

Ah..something I wanted to get ever since my love for the football game was really conceived in year 2002. Then I get it 7 years later. At discounted price. With the colour I'd been eyeing ever since. And ever since, I didn't grow any much taller to be an efficient goalkeeper. A well-respected position. Supposedly incredible in reflexes and agility.

And this is the latest in the family. Mercurial Veer. Caps earned in Georgetown, Sepang and nilai.

This is actually my 4th football purchased. First one is red. It was bought like 10 years ago and it bears the emblem of Mexico football club...yeah..they just beat France 0-2. 2nd one in black, came 1 or 2 years after that. It was under Jon's care when he claimed his dog has caused the ball to rupture and rendered unserviceable. I didn't get to say goodbye. And yeah Jon, you're still keeping my Real Madrid Siemens Mobile jersey.wooo

Lazy to take them photos of the balls. 3rd ball in gold, is an imitation design (only the looks not the construction) of the Teamgeist of World Cup 2006 Germany official matchball.

Hmm..have been getting Nike products already. I'd always been against Nike products because they are too simple and they cost so much. Yer know..just a tick. But recently they have a lot of designs that are both simple and elegantly great.

I set a new target on a Nike sweatshirt. Termed combatant, with Rooney blazing in the promotional poster. Never mind. I might wana get it for my own birthday present haha.

Say, humans are easily materialistic. I'm easily one. As simple as this, I see it I like it I get it if I can afford it. Less research. Just wraps the heart in comfort. Then of course think of the usage.

Yer see I like sports a lot. Especially football. I adore and respect the sport. I like the gameplay and how the players are trained to play with the ball. Strategy playing of course is not my cup of coffee but it's also highly commendable. Well as for me physically I just like to kick it and see how it takes on flight. Of course teamplay is definitely very fascinating.

Kick it. Bend it some other day.

90. This is Love

Personal

But not your kind of love.

Marsupial love haha. I'm actually very fond of collecting and displaying them plush toys. Especially these adorable wombats and koala bear from Australia. My uncle who lives there bought all of them. The left one is at least 10 years old already. The right one is fresh. It just came to my home last year after I "jokingly" requested my uncle to get one.

This one was taken by my brother with the arrow signs drawn in Paint.


I like arranging them in awkward ways. I avoided mating positions.

Hi

89. Feel Good

Ideals/Personal

Woohoo. 2 years have passed and I reach 89 posts. Some I would say would have changed blog sites in 2 years at this rate. Nahh I'm too lazy to change a site. Not for any promotional purpose. Even for motivational reason I'm just too lazy. It doesn't matter.

I have to preach on this. On behalf of Stressm but not a Stressm post.

Feeling good is important in life.

It's natural. We keep striving to feel good. After feeling good you will feel bad and you will want to feel good again. That's what keep life moving. It's not wrong or bad when complacency strikes. Life is a constant cycle of events and they just ricochet away if it's not right.

But let's not leap into idleness.

(I want to admit that the Napoleon's newsletter and Thought of the Day are the few resources of lessons in life I learn from.)


Let's just take life as life. I don't mind or care if God intervenes or involves himself. I'm putting our human life as natural as a separate entity on Earth.

Look at humans. So much advancement since the cave dwellings. We are building bombs now.

Well, it's just us. We learn and suffer and at times we succeed. This is just the norm. Why can't we just live it. Yeah add spices here and all over to make all of us feel good. My point here is, "don't worry, be happy".

I understand that I might just drop dead the very next moment after finishing off this sentence. Then I didn't so I cherish. Until I'm struck then I will complain and cry in pain and vain. That's just life isn't it. No one prepares us to cope with all emotional situations.

The people in the war. The people in poverty. The people in the riches. The people affected by Earth's catastrophes. I appreciate all of them and I feel their existence. I just don't have any better media to convey it. I only have the thought in my mind. Well, cos I never go through their experiences.

I may sound hypocritical but then I'm just an average young man who likes to express and then sit back and relax. Unless there is a sudden emergency which I have to pack my valuable belongings and enter the mercenary.

So my point "Don't worry, be happy" strikes again. You have what you have now. You get what you want later. You enjoy what you have. You work for what you want. It all comes to an end. Accomplishing life. Be it, dissipate into thin air or join the Earth and soil after death we will identify it then.

But no one has ever come back to tell us about it. In my opinion, that is actually the best thing to do after death. Don't get attached with what we've left. I wonder what will happen if really someone comes back and tells us the story of afterlife. Curiosity kills the cat.

But I have an ambition of visiting life again after death. I would like to see what people do with my legacy. Or if there's anyone playing some sad solo over my coffin. Maybe my body will just be buried somewhere 6-feet-under that would be your great-grandchild's backyard garden.

And by luck I found this quote over the websites.

"Enthusiasm with error is more acceptable than indifference with perfection." — J. Dinneen

How would you define it?

For me, it comes to me in many aspects. It deals with some attitude some people have. It deals with passion. It deals with life.

Of course having said that I mean that I had some experiences with what I've come across. Especially through teenage, studies and upcoming career life. We will all encounter these and managed somehow to survive.

It's just life. You wana feel good, you do it your way. And make sure you do not mess with others. Breach of principles and selfishness are what get into someone's goodwill. er..hmm..I mean someone who tries to be nice when provoked will become not nice. It gets into his nerves and induces discomfort.

But then again, it's one's choice to be angered or emotionally affected. I am not going write any more here as I am touching the topic of "choice".

I think my long-windedness only means "I want to feel good". That should be one of everybody's goal everyday to be achieved. You don't want to go to bed every night or day(night-shift) with the thinking "I screwed" unless you just had sex.

Applying some Buddhism and teachings on life and death, that's not wholesome. We all want to die peacefull and wholesomely. Good karma. Have a nice day, humans.

88. Escape

Personal/Ideals

Once again, I will be most probably back for holidays. At least 7 weeks from now.

There was once if you could ever recall I said about being content, satisfied etc after having so much fun. I beg to differ now.

One is never enough of holidays. One will never get enough. One will forever need some holidays. Free time. Quality time to be spent not on work.

Because I am in one of the levels of hell which offers endless stress and work. No, I don't mean the lecturers or the industry is of hell materials. It's just me in my own realm in the background of this 3D world. Let's not take it to extent of the universe.

So yeah. Tiredness. Fatigue and Stress. Health deterioration. Ability to make wise and proper decision. They suffer. It's a gradient. Negative or positive depends on your x-y entries. Proportional if not irregular. But definitely it's inclined towards death.

I want to kick balls. I want to smash cocks. I want to cut through the chlorinated waves.
I need dynamic fresh air. Movement. Outdoor.

When I am back I am gona hug my mumy, shake my papa's hands and snatch the mercedes C-Class* from my brother. Gona savour my aunt's homecooking, treat to buffet and more treats. And the machas and humans other than mentioned above, let's kick ass and burn some fuel while it is available to us.

And jam some juicy blues.

So far so good Arsenal FC. Show what these young players can do in the ultra tough competition of Barclay's English Premier League. Even without their Dutch shooter, Persie. arh..kita punya sebaya Aaron Ramsey patah kaki..sungguh sedih. Faith be kept.

85. Gun, for Fun

Personal/Ideals

[Picture from googling]

[of my closet, Home kit coming soon]

Keep The Faith

Guns N' Roses - Two revolvers pointing at each other with rose flowers coiled around

What is the significance?

Rock and roll.

For fun purpose, I brought up a some random defining thinking. @#$%^ Figure out what made the rockers and rollers think of the name which consists of guns and roses. oh right, I read before that it was the name of the members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose namely, Tracii Guns and Axl Rose (almighty).

Think again, it's somewhat a great match. The logo is very beautiful. The colour of the gun and the red of rose also show some contrasted perception. A rose, so beautiful and static. The gun so powerful and dynamic, it can shoot. A peaceful idea in contrast to the violence-ridden invention respectively.

But they share something in common. Nothing "nice" lasts forever.

The rose portrayed some peace but it also has its thorns in which it symbolizes "war->engage" button. And so the gun is also used in wars. However it has 2 functions; pull the trigger to start the war/end the peace or to end the war/start the peace.

..Even though the metal of the gun lasts quite some time heh..

Anyway, gun can be seen as the hard and rose the soft elements of Guns N' Roses.

Pore over the words from the song Civil War.
"
Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war

Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

~We practice selective annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer~

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
"

That is just as civil as our country. Sorry-asses.. no comments

I've highlighted on this song before 5 years ago in my friendster blog haha if you could find it.

Whatever it is, just carry on with life.

84. Not New

Personal

Nothing much, for now. Let's just let it be.
syiok sendiri sajalah kalau tiada pembaca haha

It's a nice number anyway. 2010. Two zero one zero. Twenty-ten. Two thousand ten. Dua ribu sepuluh.

The new year countdown and activity was done away from home again. No not outside Penang or where I study. The party has dwindled down to 3 persons only namely Wheen, Hooi and I myself. It's the 3rd friendly New Year gathering.

Safely saying, we're at Queensbay all 3 times before the great overnight. All 3 nights with fireworks banging the sky. All 3 nights witnessing infestation ball-loose lala music on-stage. Bear with them we just want to spectate the firework display. Not so spectacular and big this time for the year 2010.

"wahh hao piao liang de" - "wuuahhhhhh" - "hepi niu yerrrrr"

For the year 2011, if I am at back at Penang I am going to spend it with my family. Or take them out to somewhere kia kia.. And I would like to be maybe at G-Spot..for some new year countdown gig I suppose. Anywhere to chill out and listen to good r e a l music.
My wombats usher you. To a great and a bang bang new year. Captured by my brother. resized by me.

An awkward melancholic moment at Manhattan Fish Market. Our super filling final meal of the year 2009. We were eating the ice-cream and the ambience then was not quite noisy anymore. The radio player is playing Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me. ...the feeling of being lonely suddenly rose. We're all single. So rap it...

We had some nice blues-jamming. Just natural and good sharing of lead and rhythm.

So for some more visuals and fun scrolling through...

The end of 2009 and the commencement of 2010. [Port Dickson Nov '09 + January '10]

Salvaged speaker system of my grandpa's. Served me a while before I handed it back to my brother for further salvation as I leave home.

End.

Clear enough? That's my pyjamas anyway since toddler age. It's size XS to me now. Show muscles and.. can belly dance..erh.

so yeah...

83. Search in Silence

Personal

Depeche Mode says it, Enjoy the Silence.

Simon & Garfunkel explains in the Sound of Silence.

Anyways, they are repeated quotes.

So there goes my last day and nights for Penang. Where I was at home. So many times I find myself doing nothing. As in nothing beneficial and just wasting time at least to my own senses. Like putting off agendas and rather than accomplishing them I just procrastinate.
And I always forget about giving myself a rest. ahha.. finally, after badminton on Tuesday I decided to give up on any fun activities. My mood's totally screwed. My heart sank. My muscles crying for some stationary comfortable oxygenated air. So, I contacted my brathers and a seester to announce my ppk-ing.

I went for silence after that.
Yer can say, I look moody. More like sleepy actually. My aim for my last day was to rest as "effectively"... Went out with my brother. Drop mum. Breakfast. Lorong Kulit. In between them were sleeps. And then treated myself with scrumptious, succulent, luscious, waliaueh blablabla KFC Zinger Tower X-Meal. Makan puas-puas dan kuat-kuat. Played a few missions of Ace Combat Zero. Did amazing dogfighting manoeuvres. Easy mode...so enemies are quite easily shot down.

At night after dinner was the consequence of last minute packing...it's normal. So the effective rest taken was put to energize myself to stand till pass midnight. Damn myself again...for having so much to pack and bring down to my rented house...especially moving new items. Still not all I have a household shopping list when I reach the jungle-forsaken-abode.

*

So there. I think I have typed too much to express my silence.

There's actually a lot of tension and pressure in myself when I stayed quiet. Lots of things running through my head. Trying to clear up my thoughts which bring me down. Thinking. Resolving. Searching.

And to Hooi, YW, Jonathan, KY and Jon thank you all for the company and fun activities together. To the others whom I met along the way and the invitations to join more fun activities, "merci beau coup".

Sepang says, "welcome back student".
Nilai says, "welcome back sucker".
I say, "cb-iah"/"cb-llar"-ala-TheHooiMAN

Song for a quiet company: Joe Satriani - Searching

82. Fuel and Food

Ideals/Personal

At the very least I could do for people lingering around the net with the existence of my blog is to update. Not obliging but of interest and fun which led to the conception of this blog.

And for Razor, who expressed his want of seeing an update. Thanks for joining our mini ball volleying morning exercise. Plenty soon. Some kicking ones.

What day is today? What significance does it bring? Nothing much. But for those celebrating and praying, Merry your Christmas happy the new year.

What does it mean to me?
1. A public holiday
2. Parents will be off from work
3. Going out or staying at home with parents
4. Collect presents from babysitter's house (years ago haha)
5. Being in Penang (but maybe not in the future, maybe)
6. Seeing chaos and somewhat polluted people at hype places (only for these few years because I only started to go out on the streets)
7. 6 days away from Global New Year

Nothing much.

But if you do have presents for me, do present it to me. I will sincerely find something to repay your kindness. Sadly, I am the lame and hopeless present buyer/giver for any occasion.

My main point is being alive and this blog is not abandoned.

With this comeback, I would like to congratulate Argyll Roti Canai stall for the upgrade, development and relocation to become a restaurant..as in it is now in a shop lot.

http://aini.rumahatiku.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/argyll-road-canai.jpg

No means of plagiarism but just linking and referring. That's the old place. Just some 4-cars-long distance from there is their new place. No photo of the new place, go see it for yourself.

It's my self-induced gratitude to give some recognition and promotion to them here. That's the Argyll Road RC which you somehow would have came across the term in my old posts. Situated near Ah Hooi's place. Argyll Road la..tahu-tahulah.dari Penang Road dan di penjuru tiga situ.

My opinion of pros and cons.
Pros:
1. Cleaner
2. More space, to accomodate for more customers
3. Proper place for business
4. Safer

Cons:
1. Hot if ventilation fails
2. The sink place blocks some places of seats so communication and ordering deteriorates
3. May lose the original feel and somehow taste (in terms of environment)

Point 3 of cons are in my opinion the disasters to many places which have done a similar change. The loss of the original feel. Sometimes a cleaner, brightly lit and tiled place isn't a good match to the great preparation of great food.

This applies greatly in Penang. Cos penang is environmental. Its phenomenal food recognition and exquisiteness especially for the hawker food pay due homage to the environment. Just that. But the environment is quickly fluctuating already succumbing to modernisation and infrastructure development into a much busier place.

No big deal. Nothing stays forever.*

At least for me. It's also the homeliness which I adore of Penang. Not related to Malaysian Hospitality.

*"You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain/victim" kinda applies. You live long enough to see an empire fall or you die remembering it as a great place.

*

Ok, to date...after coming back, the local food I had taken was:
1. RC
2. Jones Road Hainan Loh Mee
3. Fettes Park Hainanese Western Food - (wth..price increases while portion decreases)
4. Subaidah nasi kandar
5...

I think so.

81. Epic Love Story

no no..no romance for me please.
but yeah, some armageddon-like action packed earth crust destabilizing volcanic tsunami washing of the sins.

...with the appearance of "B. B King's long lost distant cousin"-look-alike.

wouho, the modern day "arks" have hydraulics and gearings in their systems. And the Antonov super jumpo carrier has many deluxurious cars..sorry I mixed deluxe and luxurious together.

"Engine, start.."

It's a super family love story. A tearless man like me could have cried if they were to show more families drowning.

2012

Good balance as a show on the collapse of the Earth's crust. They kept a balance in the appearance of the actors and scenes of destructions. Exhilirating. My hands were automatically gripped and held in some religious position of meditation. Don't ask me why. It's just sprititual to see the Earth swallowing up human's artworks. hah.

I would want to be in Charlie's position in the time of death. Get the best shot from nature.

Build tall skyscrapers just to see them fall in the end right?

And they should have included Malaysia's famous landmarks to be broken into two or three such as the bridge and some towers.

The President's daughter is ... in the movie.

79. Delayed: Smooth Holiday Operation

Personal/Ideals

"Befriend our Earth & Universe: Earth, rotating at its own axis, partially receiving the ray of sunlight with the Moon to accompany its journey round the Star. So we have day and night. After each night, you cross out a slot from the calendar. Make the crossing meaningful, enjoy every single hour you have having fun with friends and family. I did it, my one week holiday feel like one month worth of joy. Feel good cheers."~wallpost from Facebook

Back to you KCH, Rooster for yer. BB and SRV for YW and all of us. And Mustaine to crush all of you guys.

I have to post this a little later than maybe expected due to internet connection problem, courtesy of Streamyx. And... this is quite a lengthy one. It's personal journal. Or activity story-telling.

"Imagine, you see stars shining and lights shimmering, but there is no god to reach for"

Just a quote that I'm referring to to the modem internet signal lights blinking with no line coming in.

So yeah, I had one week of great fun. If I were to compare blindly the activities and amount of joy shed from this holiday to any previous holidays, the latest would definitely fall short and abrupt. But let's count the satisfaction rating that is conceived in the heart and the brain.

This latest holiday week would be the best...though I forgot to invite Razeen for football the second time when he could actually make it already(i think so).

Why would I claim that this time the fun is as or more exhilirating than the rest when it's only 1 week long. I believe it's the outcome and post-fun satisfaction..whatever you could comprehend. I believe I end all the activities moderately with the feeling in the guts saying, "nothing lasts forever". Whereas the other times I had fun blindly, and were fun-thirsty for more. That explains the karma-ish perception of fun.

This time, I enjoyed and in my heart I said, "well, let's have things in balance. For friends and family. I know time is limited. So spend it wisely." Furthermore in my head, with the rest of my studymates we already had a common plan to have a job training this coming end of the year after the final exams. This reserve of time and emotion has a good onset to the settling down of my play-hard-non-stop guts.

So it shows, that I'm ready. It's not all just about having fun all the time. If you want to work with the extremes, then "Work hard, Play hard". But I supposed, there should be of moderation.

I did say too recently on spending up the holidays, I want to relax more. Anyway, back in Penang friends such as Hooi and KY have STPM on their way. Thus, I balanced my holidays spending balanced time with my family and friends. More meals together with family. More time spent back in the house, the presence of me completes the family home sweet home. As my mother quoted, "we could see Jared more often this time".

Partly also because I grow more mature as a person who comes back for holidays regularly already since last year. We actually had more than enough fun already, come to think of it. It's in the growing maturity, the essence of our youth that is. Hopefully wise youths like you reading me now agree with me.

"We'll live to see your god standing alongside us someday"

How so? We're going to outlive and outgrow the holy image someday after living and learning long enough to be able to stand by ourselves. Maybe I'm denying your maker. But give me the benefit of doubt, I shall live the way I could with principles.

zap zap zap god strikes wrath zap zap zap

This is for the 8th time I come back home since I left home sweet home in July last year.
So I had this so-called reunion. This time it's simple. It's not like any other time we could get together and actually appreciate it. We did it this time, at least to my eyes and heart. We have: Hooi, YW, KY, Jonathan, Jon and me myself. The basic brotherhood of mine. I didn't really care about what activity we're gona do. As the "playmaker" hahaa I just just wana make sure that we get along in something fun even though the planning is messy.

Here it goes:
1. the not-so-successful Dim Sum breakfast, nevermind cos it feeds [Me, KY, Jon + g]
2. Main course: Bowling [All + g1 +g2] - The Singaboy Jon pwns with the highest points scored
3. the confused-plan Sushi lunch at Queensbay, nevermind cos it feeds again [All + g1 + g2 - KY]
4. Spontaneous plan: Movie: The Ugly Truth [same] - good movie that could make me laugh
5. Simple dinner at kopitiam [Me, Jon, YW, Hooi + g] - I enjoy the chicken feet
6. Reunite - CC Dota challenge cos we have 3v3 [All + g]
~Dota score tally: YW-3, HOOI-2, me-2, JON-1, JONA-1, KY-1 [3 games]

- g stands for girl for privacy purpose heh.

And yeah, we had our overnight reunion too YW's. This time KY and Jona were the ones pia till morning on a PS3 game, Resident Evil 5. For your information, the previous games were Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas and Siren 2. Graphic and shocking games in the darkness. Oh yeah, Little Wing jam has been a great start. We'll work further on improving it.

Guitar Hero:
Jona - vocals - fail (on Michael Jackson - Beat It)
Me - drums - fail (on Linkin Park - What I've Done -Expert) haha

heyy, but YW and I did great on Seven Nation Army. I realised I have to get high as in high on drugs on the beats to stay in-time. shux.

The rest: Football, Hiking, Football, Batu Lanchang Market, Esplanade Mee Sotong, Argyll Road RC and Swatow Lane.

And, here's to something fun and really random. I missed a turning to Hooi's house after leaving Esplanade. I was on the right lane and mentioned about the ferry. Hooi simply suggested, "wana sit ferry?" Oh? Alright, let's go then. As the traffic light turns green my left signal blinked furiously and I received honkings from all directions as I cut into everyone's lanes into the port. So there we YW, Hooi and me myself were. A Viva la Ride on the Penang ferry service. To Butterworth. uhoh.

And then, that was my first time driving on the Penang Bridge. YW snoozing away quick. All tired from the whole day worth of hike, sky-praising, mee-sotong and ferry cruise.

Appall for the anti-Nikes. I bought a Nike goalkeeping gloves. At a low price, my dream finally came through after 7 years of wanting one. Comfortable and superb, as commended by Jason.

Updated: Rock-@$$ a.k.a Ass-rock (in my roll of links.

I think, my next demo recording may be a Happy Birthday song. When, subject to how free I am. How, it's gona be a 2- or 3-track recording. Hopefully, I will be successful in tackling the timing setback this time.

Ambition no.3: Sound Engineering - in recording and production.

New ambition plan: Join the Air Force (RMAF).

78. Rock n Roll Getaway

Review/Ideals/Personal

Nice number 78..part of 787, the new model series head of Boeing aircrafts. And there's 3 parts to this post. A review, an ideal and the personal account of storytelling. Spend your time wisely.

http://www.chickenfoot.us/

Check out the website I tell you... Cool video in the front. Chickenfoot has 4 fine veteran rock n roll musicians namely, Sammy, Joe, Michael and Chad from 3 fine veteran rock bands. With their musical expertise and experience, expect great music and super good classic-cum-hard rock experience created in the modern time that is now. I enjoyed particularly the totally orgasmic professional sound mixing and recording. The songs are super clear, crisp and powerful.

Those who like electric guitar very much may know Joe Satriani. Those who deal with the classic era of hard rock will know Van Halen (Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony). Those who like Red Hot Chili Peppers should know Chad Smith. I don't know any more about their other side projects, apologies.

So I am recommending it you readers to visit the website and make sure the required plugin is installed, average audio speakers...advisable to use ear/headphones cos Laptop built-in speakers are only fuxes to audio-people. For rock, they definitely kill your parents when you turn them on loud (and totally kill me)...you only hear dirt and audio noises. oh yeah back to the website... Let the video play. And you listen and watch, enjoy.

Their songs I can say, are written based on elements of rock n roll songs that existed since the beginning of the era and meshed to a great compilation. I mean by hearing, you could distinguish all the rock/blues pattern and significant styles. So it's kinda a perfect innovation of rock n roll. Of Satriani, I can safely say the guitars are all as pure as himself in terms of effects, riffs and melody styles.

In the song Oh Yeah they sing about hoochie-koochie man. We pay respect to Muddy Waters...woohoo I am just doing it like B.B. King who mentioned about the great bluesman from Chicago.

*

Here I am, I would like to stress on audio-loving and music quality experiences. In order to enjoy as much and understand what I describe and state on them sound stuffs, you will quite have to have the minimum requirements such as similar sound devices like I have, similar or better quality and performance. Really, cos I really find laptop built-in speakers awful and blaring out cb sound. But I appreciate them, because when I am lazy or do not possess any headsets at the moment I will need them. Simple.

I am someone, who may be fussy. Not sure how do I compare myself to or as an audiophile. I get satisfaction from separated left/right sound projections, or even better if proper surround is applied, true quality as of recorded particularly on the positions of the sound being received(left/right thingy). I buy selected original music discs. They offer uncompromised sound projection. Downloading is alright, 128kbps of bitrate is by strictest the minimum value.

Don't forget bass properties. But not too much please, I ain't big time fan of hip-hop/dance music which people usually pump up in the car audio systems. Boom Boom. Respect bass though. It's a part of the 3 parts of sound forms, bass, mid and treble....something like that in regard to low-mid-high. So with good hearing device and good quality songs, you could hear the full sound of music. That's music from the technical side. Rock is so greatly composed of these elements. Missing any of them, the rock lost its power. Rock band basic: guitars/bass/drum.

And your laptop built-in speakers (if your laptop is a super high end built with actually what I call audio speakers then beg my pardon), do not offer bass at all! Test it. You hear higher frequencies only. Pop music ok. Classical music not so bad...but you lose all the basses. The low sounds. With my first demo record, if you listen to it without the bass you're definitely not gona enjoy because the bass part is what makes the recording a music recording. It would sound dry and flat.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Here's the personal side. Went to Midvalley that day. "Company" to the couple, of my roommate. Of course not full time. Only lunch and movie. The rest is my solo journey round in the mall. I had what Hooi termed as "the rocker's shopping list" haha. More like a music amateur/enthusiasts basic wishlist.

Compiled.
Walked up and down while "rinsing my eyes" with the view of fatal "booby" traps. I survived. Rock Corner. Movie Magic. Guitar Collection. Beatspot Yamaha. ATM. Studio R.

Those are:
-Chickenfoot album
-B.B. King - Live by Request with guest appearance by Jeff Beck
-D'Addario Light Top/Heavy Bottom

My latest, and it's my super favourite now. Transparent and rainbow in colour. Ideal 0.7mm medium gauge.

oohyeah, first time I saw a jersey which can fit me. S size. One of the new Arsenal kits.

[one of the heroes]

oohyeah, I suddenly became very interested in watching and supporting football. I even participated in it. I have this Sharqawi, my classmate as my guru. He's in the U-21 Malaysian squad. Ooohyeah, I borrowed Adidas Predator already. Come, Youth Park. Raya Open - Morning exercise with Football. Ah Hooi and Jason confirmed. I just need to pump the ball.

And I'm so gona get an original Arsenal home jersey one day, definitely a nicer design one (e.g this current season kit). Bootleg ones with my fitting size are rare I think..

1 week holiday back in Penang. Reunion planned. Let's see how smiles are flashed by nature. ~"Remember, I am the playmaker"

69. Lest The Fingers Bleed

Oh yeah? yeah. The island had packed powerful fun for me and I gave my powerful punch/kick back by... stepping on the Pedal of Life. On my Viva la Ride. Warning: Drive responsibly.

Sunday was a harmonious day spent with family at Queensbay. Monday was a joyful day spent with Jon. Tuesday was a energetic night spent with whole lotta people. All 3 nights had supper till pass 12am.

And I met a girl...ada fate/destiny..young lady..beautiful-pretty-sweet 9/10 rated female. Twice. 2 nights. 2 different venue. Same time frame, 12am. But she has a boyfriend. I'd be ready to go take over the bf's position if a break happens T.T heh =.=

Next: Food-Alma Mater-Hard disk-Guitaring-Movies-Rest

Ideals

So let's kick off with the new season. Maybe. For many, exams are over. For some, new semester begins. For the many, their holidays just kicked in! Kick-ass 69 hah.

[Back in Black..and white]

As for me, yeah if you remember I said I'll be gunning people down. haha not exactly. I will slowly burn the city on the island. Burn in my context is heating it up. My Viva tyre rubber marks wouldn't be enough so I'm calling everyone else who are enjoying life to heat and spice up the life in Penang. Don't get me wrong environmentalists, we're not promoting global warming nor engaging in green house gases diffusion in a large scale. We just want to live life to the fullest. 100% efficiency in converting mental energy to fun energy, for the moment. WALK with me!

I just want to exclaim my objective of believing in life. In life lies a threshold filled with joy and happiness. We just need to mine for it. But if you use a rusty pick or dig carelessly, everything could just collapse and we would see ourselves falter into gloom and darkness.

Whatever... Make your seconds and moments while enjoying worthwhile everytime. Good enough.

Here, I would like to not promote but share this with you fellow musicians and music enthusiasts.

I like his style. He is great. Kudos. Part minute 3.30-3.50 is superb. By the way, it's an instrumental rock/metal guitar piece. Can't stand heavy/"noisy" music, please don't approach.

Here it is, he's Musicman1066 from http://www.freewebs.com/musicman1066/
There you can learn tips and get his own work of guitar tabs.

Personal

Today is the last day. Today is the day. When Hell let loose of something. Unpredictable. But it ain't judgement day.

And today the something is going to muster all its energy. The something is going to lead an outroar of many something. To revel in the resources and elements of satisfaction. To the ISLAND.

yeahoo. Will be back very soon. Many are returning too. We all love the Island, don't we? We will always love it. Drown with Hell! choi choi choi tai-kei-lei-si *touchwood...

Well, I'm going to collect some energy to write something productive and meaningful to myself. Something I always did after a long haul of being not at home. I need the peace in my mind. Something related which follows up for Hooi's Terminator Salvation. That kind of write-up is very good. It stimulate all our thinking. It all depends, up to people individualism or comformity to commonality to accept the divergence of unholy remarks. By unholy I mean thoughts and professions that do not go along with the available mainstream religions today.

Many would take this as a desecration of being alive as being a creation and going against the existence of the creator. Which in writings by far anyone in the world who attempted to touch contents which are already covered in the bibles would have suffered execration. No, I may not want to touch your religion. I don't like to create such sensitivity. I talk about mine, alright.

Forgive, I pompously used certain words which I just found in the dictionary. ahah.

Well, go party of course tonight. Where should I go? Anywhere could avoid some big bang for the bucks...M.O.S burns wallets heh..still, everyone wants a drink. gulp

Come on, celebrate it.

But, stay alive.

Personal/Ideals

--It's a matter of days to go and I'll be gunning down people back in Penang, the island.

"the existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon."
"Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else. Existence is random."
These are quotes(googled) from the movie Watchmen. Definitely a must-feel movie. Philosophical and thrilling perspectives and principles. That's what I long for to experience in my brain. And those quotes just fill up certain uncertain bridges of countless questions and conceptions. At least for me, I have my own interpretation and belief in them. And some things just got more intriquing. That's interesting.

Feel yours today, go watch it.heh. I thought at first the poster looked like some kind of costumed make-up superheroes movie or spoof show. 10 minutes into the movie I proved myself wrong and I changed my mode from just-attending to movie-experiencing, the "watchman" way. Maybe a handful or not would brand/rate/comment this movie as ridiculous and a waste of time...some friends they just weren't enjoying the movie fully. Hopefully they don't represent the majority. Nevermind..different tastes anyway. But I admit it's lengthy and dragging with great philosophical talks. Even then, I've went to watch in the cinemas twice already.

I would like to write up a post on the movie and story but only if I have enough to brainspill someday so..we'll see. So far, no-go.

Into the first 6 months of the year. Is it that time flies quickly? Or passing too slowly. Nope, it's quite good. Everything's progressing finely. Step by step one by one piece by piece and reasons and lessons in life are picked up. Good and bad they exist for sure for the consummation of life. Happy and sad all be conquered gracefully. phew..so far so good la to be precise.

The downside...I think I'm feeling that my language is deteriorating. For BM, it's already constant. For English, this is the problem. Because:
-I have been writing it less
-I have been speaking it less (also applies to listening, except music)
-I have been writing totally simple short notes for studies
-I have been reading not so proficient writing of notes and studies (not complaining..)
-I have been learning and improving my Mandarin and Thai hah
{note the kind of posts delivered were like out of tune :s}

It was before 2 months ago: ...weeks without internet. No downloads. No chattings. No blog-reading. No e-mailing. No research. But of course I'm not that unproductive. I did go to the library to do my homework... Now yeah, I have internet already.(obviously).

ok..time for a sidewinder's change..from now on I'm trying to change a little for my style of writing. Not applicable to Stress-talks(Stressm) and Ideals. It's especially for my personal accounts of story-telling and a-z detailed movement and percentage of alcohol consumed.

OK. Since the Label 5 scotch whisky, I had Shandy(1%),  Tequila - Camino(?%), Boeing 777(40%) and Scotch Whisky - ???(40%) at Sanctuary, The Curve.  
So...this(below) is one of the latest (but there's also Tuborg beer provided at the MDG Finale). Brought by a senior friend from his home. Rare and expensive.wth

I'm getting unhealthy. My body spells a downward spiral of fitness level with increasing unhealthy activities(gaming till sunrise), eating so oily/salty food and too little exercise.
This sums up my report of to-be fitness level:
Favourite Hiking -- Heavy breathing and weak climbing energy
100m sprint -- Spot the last position
K.Kinabalu Hike -- Hell would be cooler~plan postponed
Badminton..I won none matches this year, played only once anyway.. ya noe ever since moved outside to rented house.

Advice: Try best not to poison yourself. Intoxication by either nicotine, alcohol or party drugs only stir up your senses and cause a complication in body functions. That is why Islam forbids those. Intoxication ruins the nervous functions. The root of our life and body is in the brain, the mind. Bersyukurlah dengan badan yang sihat. Tahu cakap kena tahu buat la...

Beat it. Left 4 Dead
I'm Rock. Ye-Wheen being Mother. And unfortunately...the deceased by the end of the game as being controlled by Hooi. Cool cracky game with moaning witches.

So now who is the man?

[HooiTheMan?]

[The path to enlightenment?]

[Island CM?..respect..]

I AM THE MAN...huahahaha

Was Genting Highlands. This time I tried the roller coasters but missed out on the balls-beating Spaceshot...to heavy rain. I swear! Corkscrew screws cocks. At least I am level with my mum's experience now, she played before roller coaster in Ocean Park, Hong Kong decades ago. I can tell you..all my virtual experiences of freefalling in my dreams/nightmares came true. Imagination just got to a higher level in me. Negative G-Force had me throwing a choking voice during the gradient down aaaaah.a.a.aa.aaa.aahh

[..my new home workplace]

-I travel between two states everyday to school and back. 10 mins apart. Selangor and N.Sembilan. Actually I've written this before..but I add this time a little twist of uniqueness for this special issue of post in tribute to the MAN. So it's complicated...go to school in one state and stay in another state. Current location: N. Sembilan/Selangor??

[..the ideal average income fast-lane home--this was months ago]

-It's my dining place. Also used as a common study place. And usually serious discussions take place here. It has become a zone for guitar playing too for everyone.

"There was a time...Broken glass and cigarettes, writing on the wall, it was a bargain for the summer and I thought I had it all..."~Guns N' Roses

Oh yeah another break of words induced by the procrastinating-Jared-"all talk, no cock" syndrome. Books. I've never got my hands laid on them...even my new stuffs..
Calling the help hotline now....tut.tut...tut.tut...
"Anyone who has any advices or suggestions of any styles for me on time and workload management please do write back to me through comments. My pre-priorities are eat, sleep, bathe, laundry and laying my hands on my guitar. Basically what I do from day till night for a normal day is wake up, go for class if any, lunch, dinner, do any homework if any then play around with housemates..I haven't even start doing some read-up and research. AND especially exercising!!!" knmclc..

I think I gotta follow suit my Thai friends who jogged from school to my house. It's around 8km with uphills and downhills in a middle of lush forests across the state border. Once a week should be a good deal. Wake up early wth.~mythBUSTED


*2*Tad-bits of bite for the season: No insultation here. Try for a change, friendly humans. Put a stop to branding yourselves as emo. I think this trend is somewhat distasteful, and I think a majority of us would have in common in our mind that these "emos" are modern post-Emo wannabe junkies. Even though there might be some (or no) non-comforming ideals in them but certain modern settlers today embraced the so-called cult and turned into some kind of culture in which people would describe themselves as "emotional" or sad and having a bad life. Trust me, what kind of bad life is that when things just don't go and happen they way you desired in life, that's life. Not that I experienced better, I knew of worse and physically-threatened situations.

And most of the time I don't even think you people are troubled, it has somewhat become a wannabe style.. Leave aside the emo cult which epitomises wrist-cutting and extreme eye-shadowing. Talk about plain-clothes emo. Forgive me friends and acquaintances, I'm merely reflecting a general and unbiased view on the current vision upon people who like to be emo so much. I know, there are sane and wonderful people would have gotten used to the word as an everyday casual term for the mood. There's nothing wrong. But in this context, you're being associated to the very unpleasant and annoying bunch of youths.

It's not like there's no other words to use...like sulking or "merajuk". Sad. Emotional. Depressed. Sick. PMS. Desperately in need of attention. There are especially associations with Lala(s) too, that's the sad truth. Portraying emo-ness in their ways, giving a new twist to their style. h3ll0 PpL, I'm EMO 4eVa.(tm)

And on another note regarding the showcasing of lala style. Please, try your best not to mimic the lala way of expression. It's detrimental. As jokingly it is said, "either you die a sane, or you live long enough to see yourself becoming a lala".*

- - -

Get the gun shoot it upright and wait for the bullet to land on the head. The brain will do just fine. Final exam starts in two days time until 12-June-09. And then you'll see me prancing like the horse in the Ferrari logo.

Oh yeah, thanks to MDGs2 Ming (my MDG hah) for taking photo with me after the show 2 weeks ago ...fux...
