43. The Limits of The Dead + Sayonara Asrama

Personal/Ideals

Be afraid...the darkness that appears in the daylight. This is serious holy shit that is produced by Slipknot as the latest album after 4 years. All Hope Is Gone. Totally (sic). I recommend it to those who are (sic) of the environment and the life being in control by all The MAN. If you are a Maggot, we revel.

The "nano"gram, the 9-edged instead of 5-sided pentagram. It's imprinted translucent on the front and back of the booklet. Only Maggots could see it haah

There, the origin where my email got its name. #4 James Root, who uses a Telecaster >.<

Goodbye hostel..(you suck! and your price went up)

hah ahh....no more cat shits strewn wherever favourable. No more holding breaths while doing laundry. It's like Slipknot saying "breathing in sulfur", suffocating.

The closet

The roof (for spiderman acts when any neighbour gets stranded when they left the room locked without having the key)

The shower pipe

The door (whose door knob has its own anti-theft system-pseudolock stuck-tightness)

The room (censored for privacy discreet-Jonathan's side)

Even though there's many downsides of staying in hostel I still love the community and close proximity we have. You could just meet your friends and neighbour-student-mates anytime anywhere anyhow..nevermind, let go. hah

My desktop background! This particular face in the wallpaper seems to resemble a bit a girl(young lady) I met a few times at different places, a stranger but if I'm sane it's the same person(..my fetish for resemblance..). And I know she's staying in the apartment which I am going to move in to next year. Not too cute-not too pretty-just so sweeeet. "She, may be the face I can't forget"...ahh.

[the pink make it looks like a girl's]

It's in my handphone wallpaper too... ya noe, I don't get to "wash eyes" at my place so this is my kind of amusement haah.

So, 1 week to go...a week of final exam. Then Penang will experience a bang that has never occur before. An electrifying experience with more than 2 fretboards transmitting superstrings of distortion concoction fluctuation satisfaction devastation. A Bigger Bang, that's it. Get ready Hooi, YW, Joshua and Andrew (and maybe Jonathan XD).

["The limits of the dead" is a phrase from the song Psychosocial. "breathing in sulfur" is from Sulfur. "She, may...." is from Elvis Costello - She. "A Bigger Bang" is a title from The Rolling Stones]

42. Rain Revelation 3: Dead Memories

Personal

I received...a news from my brother. Saddening. But it's life.
My fish back at home died. It drowned according to my brother. Next time I shall post up its photos and maybe videos. It has grown to such big size and it deserves a post here. Ame. My brother must be damn sad, he used to play hide and seek with it behind curtains. ah....

[Dead Memories is a title thievery from Slipknot]

41. The City of Evil + Electric Experience

Personal/Ideals

In fact, a retreat from city busy life into a jungle means pure fun and leisure but in hedonism terms...welcome to the City of Evil.

The Booze

[the one the other day we shared with Mou Jian]

The Game

[the "chor tai ti" card game that fills up spare time]

The Contraband

[this one is claimed to be only available in duty-free state. If not, it's smuggle item]

And..and and i kill a lot already. The fact is I don't despise insects and arachnids and I usually flick them off rather than killing. But at here, sigh..I do "DOUBLE KILL" or "mo mo MO MONSTER KILL" on the ants, spiders and bees. Cos' they keep coming like some eternal pilgrimage.. But good enough, I don't kill the cats.Nevertheless, i'm still a good young man. enough said =.=

After the mid-semester break I never thought that I would touch any guitar or strings until I return to island. Know what, just 4 days into the continuation of week I hit one. My eagerness grew fiery. I saw guitars in my neighbour's room and of course with no hesitation I'd borrowed it for the week...AH.

[Proof of Play]

1 month later, everything seemed to betray the fate. An electric took its turn on my lap and be abused. Pure luck. My friend told me that a friend brought it but because I don't know that person at all I didn't bother to take any effort to borrow it. Then the next day I overheard a conversation of my class monitor discussing about guitars and his friend who brought. Again, no shy shy balls handsomely made its way to the room and "confiscated" the electric right away..

[Proof of Electric, an Ibanez with 24 frets and two humbuckers. And my ESP pick.]

[As true as the claims of being good at clean tones, the Fender Frontman 15R]

Fuhh.."seperti cendawan tumbuh selepas hujan"---if it's correct.. Suddenly, the world of music spawned a revolution of underground guitarists. They just appear and make their presence felt at a sudden cancelling the perception that people here mostly make up of nerds and junkies. Music junkies, yes. So I'll have a good time jamming and rock in year 2009 with the new bunch of guitar freaks.

Here I would like to share a few videos of great drums and guitars covers with you guitars and drums lovers/fans/enthusiasts/desperados/freaks/collectors/

40. November Rain

Personal

Great quotes here... http://www.phnet.fi/public/mamaa1/johnson.htm

It's the 40th post already wooo...and it's been raining on and off. Especially on Tuesdays without fail since....ever since, Hooi you've been taking it into account hahah. And tomorrow is Tuesday I have 2 mid term exams.

I'm back from camping...Sg. Tua, Ulu Yam, Selangor. Heard of it? It's on the way to Genting Highlands. Cool place. Cool river, too fast the current I couldn't manage to hold on without staying behind the rocks. But not cool toilet, what to do 300 plus men stepping in and out with.

The best activity was river activity. Especially when we got punished to get down to there. We actually enjoyed it more than feeling remorsed. Second would be the night-blind-jungle-trekking. Only a rafia rope to hold on to. Torchlights were not allowed. And there I fell to my side into a puddle or a stream midway..got a small scratch. So it was so adventurously experienced fun. I even got punished to lie on the water way. The darkness. And a total of around 4 hours of sleep only woohoo no big deal. No pictures. Just experience and memory.

2 weeks of studies to go.
2 weeks to study leave.
3 weeks to the final exam
4 weeks countdown to the end.

Ok just for fun...books books books.. muahah

These books are meant to scare the standard one kids, or tell them it's magic. I was this proud first borrower of the book....first in the record. Tell you the truth, i didn't read it. it was merely a motivation charm taking up my pile space. I didn't have enough time for it and the writings in it are super Einstein-ish.

These are the research information book on aerospace. It's titled Progress In Astronautics And Aeronautics.

And I like this book but haven't started on it. Found the other titles in the series too which sound interesting.

So hmm... there goes. Why so serious..?
