100th post finale

2010-02-07T14:03:00.002+08:00

Yay, reached the 100th post :) haven't updated the blog for a few reasons:

1. Way too lazy
2. Way too busy, cept during free times, in which i'm WAY too lazy
3. Too many thoughts to type out
4. Too many events to cover

Anyway, i think the 100th post is the perfect number to end my blog. So, just gonna say i'm not gonna update anymore, but if you're interested to know what's been happening and all that crap, just talk to me ya. And if I sound lazy when I'm talking to you, it means i don't wanna tell you nuts :D

one lazy evening

I said I'd walk you home
after our third round
of pouring whiskey down
the barrel of our guts
and I grabbed hold of your hand.
We're up and we're out and we're yelling through the streets
and I'm out of my fucking mind

and I know you're next to me
but I must confess what's in my head.

Keep pumping now,
legs to beat the ground,
and our hearts to beat the band.
The sky's on fire again.
Run down this alleyway.
Lightning bolts again
and we become fireflies
just flashing at the air.
Rattle garbage cans.
Prepare to be ravaged by our lust burning mad,
the fire that we've become.

And I know you're under me
but I must confess what's in my head:

To me you are the light from a light bulb that breaks sometimes
and the tender warmth inside is released into my life
and it smothers me in flames that lick and scorch my face.
As the smoke reaches the sky know I'm burning tonight.

Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'm burning tonight.
Know I'll burn for you tonight.

Do drugs :D

2009-11-06T18:46:00.003+08:00

Today, I read a post about an anti-drug pencil, that reminded me of when I was in fourth grade and they were passing out pencils that said "to cool to do drugs". Unfortunately, as the pencil got shorter due to sharpening, the message became, "cool to do drugs" and eventually just "do drugs". MLIA

HAAHaahaaaaa....

So me and my mum were going through the double degree courses for monash. I think she saw the yearly fees for me to study in the clayton campus and went like, "$28.3k AUD! Don't need to retire la." Then we went and looked at the undergraduate qualifications database to check out the minimum qualification I needed to apply for a double degree course and it turned out like this:

Then my mum basically laughed and assured herself she could retire after all.

A little something for nothing D:

I have no idea what to do after SPM. D: And people around me seem to keep insisting that there's really only one thing I can do. Which is, AUSMAT. "What else is there if not AUSMAT." WELL, let's seeeeee.

Here are the top 10 richest musicians :
* U2, $154.2 million
* The Rolling Stones, $92.5 million
* Eagles, $63.2 million
* Paul McCartney, $56 million
* Elton John, $48.9 million
* Neil Diamond, $44.7 million
* Jimmy Buffett, $44 million
* Rod Stewart, $40.3 million
* Dave Matthews Band, $39.6 million
* Celine Dion, $38.5 million

Damn, I wonder what they do for a living.
Anyway, remember that thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing I used to do. Where I'd post links for Mp3's and you'd click on them to check it out if you weren't too lazy. And I'd actually talk about how I relate to the song. Oh, okay fine, not doing that. Here's the damn mp3 I'm posting so you better listen to it since I went through the trouble of actually putting it up.

A SWEET SUMMER'S NIGHT ON HAMMER HILL - JENS LEKMAN

Oh, I still remember "Regulate" with Warren G.
Could that have been back in the sweet summer of 1993?
It was a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

Oh, the sound of distant carnival drums,
The spanish guitar someone strums,
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

My heart goes like:
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!

Oh, the memories come a streamin'
When I'm walking 'round here dreamin'
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.
Oh, the memories come a streamin'
When I'm walking 'round here dreamin'
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

My heart goes like:
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!

Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh no no no no no...

Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
Oh no no no!
It's coming back to me.
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill.

My heart goes like:
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?
Bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp-a-bomp!
Can you hear the beat of my heart?

HOLIDAYS ARE GONNA END IN A COUPLE OF HOURS =(

Although, I have to admit that this holiday was pretty awesome. Manage to go out everyday, so I was barely bored. Except maybe lateeeeee at night or earlyyyyyyyyyyyy morning when I couldn't really go out anywhere. And thaaaaaank god for my driving license. Honestly, this holiday would've been so dull without it. Oh yeah, thank god for my parent's jobs too. And friends. And parent's laptops. And parent's going to sleep. And money. Oh great, mum's behind me playing the wii now, so I'm typing in some uber minimized window. Thank god for the minimize button. Yay, skipped youth this week. Had one of the most relaxing Saturdays ever. I pretty muched played the computer for like, 5-6 hours. =X AND OMG I JUST GOT NADED IN COUNTERSTRIKE. Anyway, went to Desa Park today with Mei Yin. Again. But we never ever get bored of that place. Brought Ellie along too. She was pretty popular today. Even got her photograph taken. And the ass who took it didn't offer to take MY picture. OMG, FLASHBANGED MYSELF ON COUNTERSTRIKE. Yawn. Was so sleepy in church today even though I slept relatively early yesterday. Didn't really pay attention in church today. The only part I caught really was that "someone" was rejoining children church after, gee, 2-3 months of "retirement". Nevermind. I'm hoping to sleep reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll late today so that I can fall asleep in school tomorrow. Yeah, that's all. Just posting to pass the time today. D: omgresultstomorrow

2009-09-24T23:05:00.003+08:00

"you'll get tired." is a stupid excuse to stop me from going out cause i really get more tired having to sneak out than when you actually give me the freedom to go out.
nodding my head is equivalent to saying yes.
if god can use stupid people to lead the church, he sure as hell can use the smarter ones and it'll probably save us the damn drama too.
you wouldn't know people's plans if you don't ask them, would you?
you usually DO know when you say, "i dunno."
i hate it when you ask me why i'm pissed when you so blatantly pissed me off.
absence only makes the heart grow fonder IF you care.
look up 'session singer'.
it's stupid to complain to the people who don't acknowledge complaints for not acknowledging your complain.
you don't have to tell ME you're doing things before you do things.
i don't have to tell YOU i'm doing things before i do things too.
i'm totally a liar.
and district 9 is not real.

Yesterday ♥ Today _

2009-09-24T18:29:00.004+08:00

Omg, it's so bloody hot, I feel like I'm melting. Went for Omar's open house yesterday. It was awesome. And he rocked his guitar playing "she's a genius" by Jet. Totally loveeeee that song. Also watched District 9. Poor aliens =( but also poor friend-who-thought-the-show-was-a-real-documentary. Omar's mum cooks great food too. I'd so pay for the food. Oh yeah. Poor Jegan who's a vegan. "There're potatoes among the MEAT." But the real fun started when we left for Hartamas. Mei Yin's driving is an adventure on its own D: Anyway, played pool at Hartamas. The people there were niceee and efficient. And they kept promoting cheap drinks lol =X Can't say it wasn't temptinggggg. =/ Pool is uber funnnnnn. In fact, I have a sudden to play it now. RIGHT NOW. =( Anyway, stole some pics from Mei Yin. Oh. And poor mei ying for losing every foosball game we played. HAHA :D

Guitar Store Dude

2009-09-12T21:57:00.003+08:00

I went to guitar store today. Had to replace my snare stand. There was this sales assistant/drummer/blogger/afewotherbunchofirrelevantstuffhetoldmeabout, who was pretty (too) nice. Anyway, I chose my snare stand pretty quickly. Then I remembered I was supposed to check out some drum prices for Kah Yee. So, I asked the dude about it. And whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, he started talking. And talking. And taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllking.

"Does that Pearl drum set come with cymbals?"
"Let me tell you something. What's your name?"
"Um. Shuk Huay."
"Okay, Shuk Huay, let me tell you. That drum set is the only Pearl Forum set i have left. And pearl does not release anymore of it. Now, they have a new drum set. It's called Pearl Soundcheck. They're about the same, but Pearl Soundcheck costs 1.9k. But let me recommend you another drumset."
*we walk over to a Cadeson set*
"Now, you listen to me play cause I'm a drummer too"
*dude starts banging on the drum set and misses the ending crash (HAHA) but we act cool and ignore it*
"You see. You can't get this drum sound *hits the snare* with the Pearl drum sets. So. What do you think?"
"So. Does that Pearl drum set come with cymbals?"
"Oh. Yeah."

The conversation was repeated with a few different items.
Also, he gave us his name card and made sure with BOTH had one. Not to mention his blog.

Anyway. Found this uber awesome song and video ♥

Sighhh

2009-09-10T18:18:00.004+08:00

Little light, lead us through the night,
and if we die, burn down the forest.
Chariots, carry us,
distances we don't care to walk.

I'm on my way to Hell

Why doesn't anyone I know sleep?
Are they all just scared of their dreams?
When they lay their heads down at night
what are they haunted by?

Why won't anyone just close their eyes?
Could it hurt them to rest for a while?
Do they need their friends to be a lover?
or a lover to be a friend?

Because
I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I try,
God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to Hell.
One time, Two time,
Three time, again.

Sitting duck, running out of luck
and our car's stuck on the train crossing.
How am I ever gonna know peace?
how will I ever see the light through the trees?

I want to burn down everything we've begun,
I want to kill and eat my young.

Because
I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I try,
God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to Hell.
One time, Two time,
Three time, again.

I'm on my way to Hell.
Well, I try,
God knows that I try.
I'm on my way to Hell.
One time, Two time,
Three time, again.

I'm on my way to Hell.
I'm on my way to Hell.
I'm on my way to Hell.
I'm on my way to Hell.

"All times cloudy is the rain,
but today then back comes me
Out my wandering heart is lord

On some [by- something] far from thee
Father when my footsteps stray,
guide me back into the way.
[?!?!]
On life's way, God's with me."

Biology

2009-09-02T21:06:00.003+08:00

So, during the Bio test, I had to write the damn experiment 3 times. The first time, I wrote about the temperature of some crap. Turns out, it was supposed to be the concentration of some crap. So, I had to redo the experiment. I gave Kien Lam the first one I wrote (LOL) and did a second one. Just after finishing the second one, I realised I left out some other crap. (sigh!) So, I had to redo the experiment AGAIN. Anyway, I gave the second one to Wai Yeap (LOL) and started on my third one. By the time I was done, I probably wrote enough for a whole BM essay...

:D i think i did pretty okay.

I love learning ♥

"Can I drive there?"

"Wanna go to One U tomorrow?"
"Not sure if dad would let me."
"Sure la, you're not studying now."
"Even if I study now, i doubt he'd let me."
"So go study now."
"Why?"
"He won't let you go out because you don't study."
"Yeah well, studying now won't give me the freedom to go out tomorrow."
"That's because you don't study."
"So, why should I study now?"

------

"THIS ASTRO ALWAYS SHOWS THE SAME PROGRAMMES."
"Oh. What are you watching?"
"Don't know, the same thing they showed the last time I came."
"Well, there are other channels...."

im sick and tired of the way that i feel,
im sick of dreaming and its never for real.
im all alone with my deep thoughts.
im all alone with my heartache and my good intentions.

i work to eat and drink and sleep just to live,
feels like im never getting back what i give.
ive got a sad song in my sweet heart.
and all i really am is needing some love and attention.

and i dont want to cry my whole life through,
i want to do some laughing too.
so come on, come on, come on, come on, laugh with me.
and i dont want to die without shaking up a thing or two,
yeah, i want to do some dancing too.
so come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me.

sometimes youve just gotta make it for yourself.
sometimes sugar, it just takes someone else.
sometimes youve just gotta make it for yourself.
sometimes baby, you just need someone else.

and i dont want to cry my whole life through
i want to do some laughing too
so come on, come on, come on, come on, laugh with me.
and i dont want to die without shaking up a thing or two
yeah, i want to do some dancing too
so come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me.

Things that tuuuuug at me

2009-07-13T15:23:00.010+08:00

So. Just pictures of a few things I'm too lazy to type about. Although, it would've probably taken me a shorter time typing about them than it took for me to find those pictures. Stupid screwy internet.
Just something random... I was at this supermarket buying 1 lousy bottle of coke. I decided to take the express counter (8 items & below). Then, i qeueuedued behind this lady (oh, it's spelled as queued). She had like, 20 items stuffed into one plastic bag. Like, lady, STUFFING TWENTY ITEMS INTO ONE BAG DOES NOT MAKE IT ONE ITEM! I think I waited for like, 15 minutes to buy one lousy bottle of coke.
On another note, I miss so many peopleeeee.

Dead Tired

2009-06-01T00:46:00.002+08:00

Friday, went to sleep at 5AM, Saturday. If that makes senseeee. Woke up at 10AM the same day. Slept at 12AM Sunday later. Woke up at 7.30AM the same day. I'm feeling dead tired now, but I'm still awake and it says 12.49AM. Why? Because I'm too tired to moveeee. Watched Terminator : Salvation today. Pretty awesome stuff. As usual, you can't go wrong with Christian Bale. I just did a hugeeee yawn. And oh look, my dad is supposed to clear out all the book cupboards, we have 5 of them. He finished clearing out 1/4 of 1/5 of that 5. Then he went to sleep. Bravo, dad. Night.

Ifeelsocheeky >=)

2009-05-28T02:20:00.009+08:00

So, what do you do when you're up late and your dad wakes up? You steal his laptop and sneak into your room :D That's right, dad, i'm using YOUR laptop. HAHA. Let's see if there's any fun stuff on the laptop...

WEBCAM!

HAHA, just a little evidence that i was on your laptop!

So anyway, so many things have happened in the past month and a half =) I've been busy and lazy. Yup. THAT many things. Passed up my add maths project 4 days late. But, I got an A for it in the end. Well, it's more like "cemerlang" instead of a grade. Oh well. I also missed the chance to do my third english oral presentation. Howeverrrrrrrrr, teacher gave out the marks today for us to sign and I got 26/30! Or is it 24/30? lol, forgot =.= but anyway, HAHA KAREN. =X Damn, I love it when slacking pays off. What else, what elseeee.... Oh yeah, i know it's a week too late, but I'm nuts today, so I'd just like to say, "GO ADAM LAMBERT!" andddddddddd "DAMN YOU, AMERICA!" =( and damn you Arly! (YESH, I MEAN ARLY) Stop gloating over Kris Allen. Like, what can Kris do that Adam can't? Oh, and I keep forgetting, but someone please tell Mei Yin that Twinkle Twinkle Little Star does not have the same melody, rhythm or WHATEVER as Mary Had a Little Lamb. That's all I guess. It's 2.40AM, but I don't feel sleepy at all. I wonder if I can come up with something mischievous to do at this hour =/ cause IFEELSOCHEEKY >=), which is really what I've been feeling the past few weeks. Oh yeah. Exam kinda sucked, even though most of the papers were leaked. Actually, I felt kinda lazy to study BECAUSE they were leaked. THAT'S THE TRUTH! And my dad said a few nights ago, "Even if you do get high marks, it's not counted because your papers were leaked." Fair enough, but um... I'M NOT GOING TO GET HIGH MARKS. Oh yeah (third time I'm saying that I think). Got my results for paper one of chemistry back. Miss Yip was like, "Karen, 40/50 :D" then Karen went and took her paper. Then, Miss Yip was like, "Shuk Huay." And Karen was gonna take the paper for me, then Miss Yip went, "Come here! >=(" I was like, "Shiiiiiiiiiiit." Yupppp, I got 22/50. But as usual, the real point is, NEVER EVER take your results after Karen. Gonna go off now. Wanna check on some fallout3 mods. (AWESOME game, by the way. BUT I WANT SIMS 3!) Before I go, if any of you are bored, check out "the only one" by Manchester Orchestra :D LINK. Kudos

2009-05-28T01:34:00.003+08:00

You know i'm up to something when i go HAHA. Yup, skipping Teacher's Day today. HAHA. A day to celebrate teachers? HAHA. I know it's been ages since i've blogged, and no, i haven't gotten crazy, but HAHA. Teacher's Day. Yeah right. Okay, not all teachers are bad. Some actually deserves to be celebrated. (Pn. Ooi!) But other than that...... HAHA. Anyway, I was on MSN earlier and a friend pm-ed me.

Friend: Why're you up late?
Me: Teacher's Day tomorrow :D
Friend: Oh, school's off? Luckyyyyyy
Me: Nahhhh.
Friend: Got suspended? =/
Me: Noooo.. Just skipping school!
Friend: O.O your parents are okay with that?
Me: Yup :D
Friend: How come I don't get that =(?
Me: You don't complain enough xP

(Okay, cutting my post short cause Dad just woke up xP) Oh well, I'll be back later today :D HAHA.

Yeah, you can try and try to get it right but sometimes you just can’t get it right.

I tried, I tried, this time, to stop playing this game, because I know I’ll never win with ‘Sin, Repent, Repeat.' And I’ve been here so many times before, but no matter how hard I try I just can’t get right!" -Sin, Repent, Repeat by Oh! The Story

Haha. Neither can I =X Sometimes, you're just so contented with life, you can't really even try to fix your sins. Honestly, today's Good Friday, but I don't even want to go to church.

IR NIGHT ROCKED. mm, yeah, just saying =) the crowd was crazy! AWESOME crazy. there's a couple of uber short videos of the performance @ xoxoliz.blogspot.com. aryl took a super long one but it turned up upside down. someone else took a pretty good video i think, but i forgot who it was and all. i'll try looking for it. WENEEDANAME: Zhijian and I realised that we scolded Kien damn a lot of times for nonsense crap xD sorry! you rocked in the end xP omar's guitar was uber god-like. zhafri's bass just does everything right and he's super funny now. and i thought he as a super serious guy. LOL, not =X. a few girls said zhijian was damn cute. hahaaaaaa. we just click instantly as a band :D perfect band, perfect performance. you guys rock

WOW, IT'S BEEN A MONTH

2009-03-20T20:51:00.004+08:00

Okay, I honestly can't believe it's been a month. Whew. Haha, went to Australia last week, and I'm supposed to blog about it, but I'm too tired so, SORRY JUAN! =) I've been going out pretty much the whole of this weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. I'm drawing so many deep breaths just blogging cause I'm so tired. So, on Monday I had to make a new IC. When I went there, this lady had to take my pic. So I innocently sat on the chair and gave my best smile. Like, :D. Then the lady went, "-.- please fix your hair, miss." I moved my fringe aside and held my head a little higher so that it wouldn't cover my face again, but the lady wasn't satisfied. I did it at least another 2 or 3 times before the lady looked at my dad and went, "Rambut dia la! Encik, tolong fix please!" At that time, I was getting a little nervous, so i sort of spinned my chair just a littleeeeeeeeeeeeeee, and the lady suddenly went "TOLONG JANGAN GOYANG KERUSI, MISS." I was like, "oh............woops =X" Anyway, finally took a pic. Hopefully it comes out nice =(. On Tuesday I had 3 hours of tuition. During that time, my teacher said that there was extra class on Thursday. Yeah, conveniently forgot about it later :D Then, I had some birthday dinner for my grandma at night. During the dinner, I was discussing with my relatives about going out the next day. Earlier, I planned to have some jamming session in the morning because IR NIGHT IS NEXT SATURDAY! (make sure you ppl comeeeeeeeeeeeee) Then when I mentioned that to my relatives, they gave me that "fine, friends over family la" look. So I quickly went, "But I should be done early enough to have lunch with you guys." After that, they were okay. Kinda sucked for my band though, haha. Wednesday came and we had that jamming session and then I went out and I had to watch some lameeeeeeeeee Adventures of Despereux or Desperuex or whatever movie with my little cousins. It was tough trying to stay awakeeeeeeeee. After that, I had ice skating. Damn my legs were so tired. I kept asking my cousin, "So, wanna rest a bit?" and she kept going, ":D nope." =/ innocent kids. And then this young 8 year old dude came and sat next to me and he started reading the smses i was typing. I was like, "hi?" and he was all, "HI" We talked a bit after that, and i asked him, "Anyone ever told you you were small?" and he went, "Nope. People always call me cute." =/ INNOCENT KIDS. Anyway, Thursday, I was out the wholeeeeee day. Went to Su's house to plan for an orphanage visitation. Hehe, went to CC for a while after that, but my dad insisted I studied. So me and Zhijian went back to her place and "did add maths". At night, I had some dinner with Becca and Su and Juan and Zhijian. Then today, I had jamming again. Woot, "enter sandman" by Metallica rocks la. Went out for lunch with friends and watched a movie with my relatives after that. "RETURN TO WITCH MOUNTAIN" SUCKS. Yeah, that's my week so far. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW. Didn't expect you guys to read the whole thing, by the way xP I was just recapping. (LINK TO ENTER SANDMAN) Haha, hopefully I'll get to blog about Australia next. Oh, and I have a new profile picture. Got it after cam whoring to use as a band picture for IR NIGHT. yup. okay, I think this post is fairly long enough :D

Random Goals

2009-02-23T21:40:00.002+08:00

I've been a little out of it today, kinda tired and lazy at the same time. Anyway, I really think it's time I buck up for real now, so, just some goals to keep my mind on:
1) Get at least an A2 for all science subjects and add maths without copying from Karen during mid-term. (10 more weeks to go)
2) Pass History for mid-term
3) Follow my time-table accurately
4) Stop using the computer when I'm home alone (like now.)
5) Get fitter
6) Save about RM500 by June
7) Complete at least, 3 of my goals
The goals really sound easy when I type them out like this, but I know how easy it is to lose track of it. Definitely way easier than failing Chemistry. So, yeahhh, hopefully I get more than half of them done <3

HAH.

2009-02-18T15:00:00.003+08:00

So. My dad came up to me yesterday and went, "My mum and I have been noticing that you talk on skype a lot and have been using the comp lately. And yesterday, mum said you were on skype with Zhi Jian and weren't studying." Then I went, "IT WAS 10.40 AND SHE ASKED ME WHY I WASN'T STUDYING." My dad calmly replied, "When we say no computer on weekdays, skype and msn included. Let's not make this an issue la." I was like, "oh. okay. sure. you just made it an issue........................................................." Like, WHY THE HELL CAN'T I MSN AND SKYPE AT 10 OR 10.40?! Anyway. When my mum asked me why i wasn't studying at ten-freaking-forty, I went to sleep. And now I'm home alone. YOU CAN'T STOP ME.

Self-control

2009-02-11T16:42:00.005+08:00

Just got back from school =) Had someeee music club thing where I was teaching drums. First of, I'm sort of trying to rededicate my life to God. Sort of. Like, I've been so far from God. I couldn't even think of Him when I pray and all. I sort of had that, "whatever" attitude when it came to God. It's kinda hard to explain, but yeah. However, this whole week has been so trying. Like, part of it is my fault, but sometimes the people around me areeeeeee.... unbearable. Okay, it's my fault when I end up joking crudely with friends or making fun of certain people =X But other than that, I feel that a few of the people around me are like, just there to piss me off. I keep trying to have self-control but i always give in in the end and either retaliate or end up complaining to someone else. It's very frustrating dealing with this people and it's very frustrating not being able to have self-control either.

GAAAAAAAH HUGS

2009-02-02T00:49:00.003+08:00

20th February. That's when my bro'll be leaving for Austrailia. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. I'm happy for him. And myself. =X It's like, responsibilities for him and independance for me! Selfish, I knowwwwww, but YAY ANYWAY. I'll probably miss my bro though. Especially when the gay net or whatever has a problem. He has those magic fingers that always get it to work even though he does the exact thing i did to it. Howeverrrrr, he HAS been getting on my nerves lately, making me go crazy. Like, up the wall crazy. But yeahhhh, still love him I guess. Love strangling him too, but i still love him. Anyway. I was listening to this song "blue ridge mountains" by Fleet Foxes. (LINK) Their album's awesomeee by the way. And that particular song has such strong meanings about well, friendship. So yeah, perfect song for me and my bro.

LOL

2009-01-28T21:47:00.006+08:00

Happy CNY! I haven't blogged in a while, been a little busy here and there. A little lazy too. Anyway, I'm soooooo glad we get a week off for CNY. Even though we have to replace it laterrrrr... but i'm glad for now. I got to come up with an article for my lisan though and I have no idea where to start. I'm so tempted to speak against school rules, but who knows how my uber-unpredictable teacher would react. Oh, i just remembered something. Last week, my CIVIC teacher was kinda harsh. He kicked half the class out for not bringing his civic textbook. Really. HALF. (and i thought civic teachers never teach) Then, he started TEACHING CIVIC. However, he suddenly broke into his life story, which I found utterly pathetic. (i know how cruel that sounds, but honestly, pathetic) First, he started by saying that from form 1 to form 3, he was in the lousiest class in school. Then, when he took his SRP (now known as PMR), he didn't get a SINGLE A. After that, he went on to the art stream and took his SPM exam. He said he got so low, he BARELY passed. At that point, I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, he's going to do uber well in college and end up succesful." Nope. I was deaaaad wrong. He said he stopped studying and started working as a "Pekerja Kontrak", which everyone thought meant contracter.... till he started talking about lifting bricks. lol. During that time, he was having second thoughts about his job, so he decided to resit SPM by studying on his own. HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE COMES THE RESULTS: BARELY PASSED. AGAIN. Now, at that point, I was like, "whaaaattttttttttt's his pointttttttt?" So, anyway, he continued his life by entering a private college using his own money, cause no one wanted... um... him. Again, he did badly in college. Okay, even by now, I'm tired of typing his story. But anyway, he went to work as a clerk and realised he was interested in some cultural arts thing. He took a course in it, got a diploma or degree or something. Then, he ended in my school, teaching me civic. That's great. Fail->fail->fail->fail->shuk's school! Likeeeee.... So. Why'd you tell us your life story for? Bleh. The hope my school gives me.

Hypercritical

2009-01-18T20:40:00.002+08:00

I bought this Switchfoot CD from CANAANLAND, the land of bibles and God and wtv. And my dad was all grumpy when he heard the uber-rock-ish music and was like, "WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU LISTEN TO THESE DAYS?!" . Oh. I don't know. BLACK METAL WITH CULTIC LYRICS AND DEVIL WORSHIPPING MUSIC BOUGHT FROM A CHRISTIAN STORE MAYBE?

Let It Rock

2009-01-17T20:34:00.005+08:00

I went to school todayyyyy. Okay, i'm pretty most of teens went to school today. Anyway, the school has this awesome rule about boys not being able to sit next to the windows. Since there are so many boys in my class, all of us had to swap places. My bunch of friends and I had such a perfect spot in the middle of the class. Like, under the fan, not so near the air con, not too far from the board and not too near the teacher's table too. Very perfect. Until now. We had to move to the windows at the back left corner of the class. Now there's like, a sink (my class used to be a lab) in between karen and me and my other two friends =( It's like, Karen + Shuk -> Sink - > Hui Ying + Ai Yee. NOOOOOOOOO. The only brightside now is that I can listen to my Ipod in class. However, they gave us this "system merit/dimerit" paper today. And wow. You could lose marks from every little itsy witsy reason. Oh. And funny thing. This german exchange student came to school late today cause she followed one of the school students. The prefect actually spot-checked her and dimeritted her. LOL. Like, what are they gonna do? "If you get low marks, we're gonna deport you back to Germany." Nutjobs. On another subject, I've been replaying this particular song, "let it rock" by Kevin Rudolf featuring Lil' Wayne for the past half an hour. I'm not necessarily a fan of this kind of music. In fact, I'm not even sure what genre it is =X (electrorock? dance?) But this song really gets your pumping and it makes me wish I'm at some rock concert now. ANY rock concert. I feel like partying.

Gleeeeeeeeee!

2009-01-15T21:40:00.003+08:00

Sureeeeeeeeee. I haven't studied since before UPSR. I think I have a reason to be stressed. Like, I have syllables to catch up on and habits to pick up. The people whose level I'm trying to pull myself up to have been studying consistently since, well. They've just been studying like that their whole lives. I think those are fair enough reasons to get stressed. I always go, "okay. it's your fault for holidaying most of your life while everyone else have been working their butts off. Now, it's my turn to be stressed out while those people can just ease through this exam." And then, quite suddenly, I realised that even the people who've been studying consistently are stressed out. Like, they've studied all their life and they're still stressed? So. That kinda made me go, "HAHA!"

On a random note: P.S. I Love You has got to be one of my all-time favourite movies everrrrrrrrr ! MORE PEOPLE WATCH IT, PLEASE.

Somebody Burn My School Already

2009-01-07T20:14:00.002+08:00

FINALLY, i'm home alone. I MISSED YOU, COMPYYYYY! So. School's started. My new class rocks. It has air con. Air con + history = proper sleep. I started school with honest intentions of being a good student this year. That is, until today. Like, everyone knows my hair is already super short. Well. You'd at least think it's short enough for school after adding a pin to my fringe. BUT NOOOOOO. When the prefecet caught me for my hair today, I got all pissed off at school again. Bye bye honest intentions. I mean. I freaking looked like a nerd just to end up getting caught anyway. Anyway, yesterday, I read the Star newspaper and the section where readers send in their opinions caught my attention. Some dumbass wrote in saying that there were too many long school breaks this year. And he/she started ranting about how the holidays affect our studying momentums and so on. Like, SHUT UP. I THINK YOU'D WANT LONG BREAKS FROM SCHOOL TOO IF YOU HAVE IDIOTS PATRONIZING ABOUT EVERYTHING, FROM THE WAY YOU DRESS TO THE WAY YOU PIN YOUR ALREADY PINNED UP HAIR. LEAVE US ALONE, JACKASS.

Tonight Was Shit

2009-01-01T02:52:00.007+08:00

The title says it all. I've just went through the crappiset night ever, I'm pissed, grumpy, upset and unhappy. My fucking bro is the most stuck up bastard in the world and going to church every end of the year is the lousiest family tradition ever. New Year's so overrated. Happy New Year.

Coming soon =(

2008-12-28T14:00:00.006+08:00

5th Jan is nearing =( I hear silent screams just thinking about that date. I have to admit, this year felt like half of last year. Which is a good thing. Last year was probably the worst of my life. Somewhat. Anyway, just to update from my last post. Last week, I jammed with Zhi Jian's band. We played "enter sandman" by Metallica and "meant to live" by Switchfoot. Both songs are pretty awesome songs to play. "Enter sandman" just kicks ass while "meant to live" sort of pounds some sort of meaning into my life. Moving on, (before i get all emo over the song) during the jamming, we caused some sort of power trip, which apparently, fried my computer's graphics card.... Yup. At the moment, I thought it was pretty awesome =X Well, now, I've been bored the whole week without my computer games so... Hah -.- I did have fun jamming with Zhi Jian's band though. (You guys rock!) And Zhi Jian's friend, Wein (hope i got that right), was kind enough to open up the computer to check out the problem. (Thanks!) So. Christmas was 3 days ago. It was pretty good. My mum and aunt got me a new handphone. Whee. I've been trying to download proper games into it the last couple of days. I finally managed to do it after downloading like, 1GB worth of software. lol. Finally, fun games to play during tuition =P. Speaking of tuition, I hope I get to skip this week's. Last week's tuition was on Christmas Eve Eve. That's pretty sucky. This week, I have a friend's farewell to go to and it's on the same day as tuition. -.- So. I better get to skip it. Sides. My mum's on leave, so why shouldn't I be.

Finally

2008-12-20T00:59:00.002+08:00

Whee. Back from camp and singapore! I had a really great time playing the corrupt cop in camp. And singapore shopping was fun. Although. I could've done without the getting lost part in Orchard. I think it took us 4 hours before I finally bought my CDs from HMV! First it took us ages to find HMV, which was already far enough from the Orchard MRT. But we took it further by missing it totally. Yup, we just kept walking and walking and walking back and walking again. When we finally got to HMV, my uncle called us and said we had to meet for dinner immediately. So, we asked some pretty-but-rude-lady for the directions to wherever my uncle wanted us to meet, and what does she do? She points us to the opposite direction! Yeah. If only I remembered all the smart insults I'd muttered while walking back to wherever we were supposed to go. Anyway, I managed to get a couple of CDs from HMV in the end. So, it's all good, I guess. One of the CDs, by a band called Battles, has now become my all-time favourite album ever. Honestly, one of the most innovative music I've ever heard. I love their song "tonto" (LINK) So, anyway, had a really great week. Oh, and thanks to yew juan. <3 your comments xP Now, to get the other 3 CDs I wanted.... =X

Lovelyyyyy <3

2008-12-10T16:54:00.003+08:00

I was browsing deviantart on lovey dovey stuffs and i found the most lovely artist everrrrrr. (LINK!) Her drawings just melts my heart :D My favourite picture's "but not because i love you". Kinda lazy to type a lot during the hols, so just check it out.

Band Names Are A PAIN

2008-12-02T23:09:00.002+08:00

I remember when my mum told a friend once, "Oh, shuky wants to be a drummer cause she thinks she doesn't have to work hard then." Well, she's right. Then, she added, "But we all know that even bands have to work hard." I didn't disagree with her, but honestly, when she said that I didn't think the hard work would start from choosing a FREAKING BAND NAME. I mean. IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE A BAND NAME. (i wonder if Omar would ever read this... Omar, if you do, CALL ME) Anyway, I just thought of a few awesome (i think they're awesome) band names.. only to find out that they're already taken =( I wanted to go with Salvo. But it's takennnnnnn.... I should put up one of those polling thingys and let our friends take polls for a band name -.-' Anyway, changing subject. I've recently been so captivated wtih OLIVER SYKES <3 I loveeee his hair. Not really THAT fond of his band, but they're okay. There's only one song from them I love, that's so playfullllllllllllllll, in an extremely foul way of course. It's called "no need for introdctions " by Bring Me The Horizon =X The song's only a minute long, so bear with me when you reach a certain nasty part (you'll know it when you hear it) This song was directed to an incident where, Oli Sykes supposedly (he denied it) peed on a lady friend who rejected him after he flirted with her. They WILLINGLY left after that, but some dude went on and threw a jagermeister bottle at the lady's face, which needed stitches after. But because no one saw whoever it was that threw the bottle, the police could only arrest Oli for the pissing incident. So there you have it, the song is Oli's backlash to the whole incident. (Oh and um, if you're a fellow church member, don't check the song out) :D

Yummy

2008-11-27T14:23:00.001+08:00

"Yum, where's the rest?"

Retarded Shuk Day

2008-11-26T21:02:00.001+08:00

Pretty horrible/embarassing day today. Firstly, I keep thinking today's Thursday. Secondly, I kept doing stupid stuffs when I was playing online. Thirdly, I WAS SCAMMED. Like, SCAMS. You know, those things where normal people would say only retarded people would fall for. Annnnnnnnnnnd, here's my conversation with one of my friends - Friend: I can't believe you fell for it. Me: Gah. I'm retarded. Friend: Yeaaaaa. (End) That's lovely isn't it. Like, THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. Okay, she's actually a great friend. But yeah, it was a sensitive moment for me... =( . Okay, diverting from my ultra horrible day, I managed to scout for some awesome music today. And oh yeah, part of the horrible day was because I couldn't download music I bought online properly... But anyway, I found this pretty well-known band called Simon and Garfunkel. It's not the first time I've heard of them, but it's the first time I've listened to their music and the first song I heard was "scarborough fair" and wow, their harmonies were so heavenly. Like, really, if I had to pick music for my personal heaven, it would be like that. So yeah, that sort of calmed me for the day I guess. So anyway, if you bother at all, here's the LINK.
.

Aspiration

2008-11-24T13:23:00.000+08:00

It kinda sucks when you have no idea how to help friends who're crying for help. =/ There are some people who are so oblivious to friends who are desperate for help, then there are some people who can tell but they have no idea how to help. And THEN, there are some that can tell that someone needs help, even though that someone's smiling as though it's the best day of his life, and they actually know how to help that person. I wish I could do that... It's pretty heartbreaking to see a friend go through a trouble and all you can do is watch... Honestly, I'd rather not notice the friend's trouble at all if I can't help that friend. Anyway, changing topics. I've been listening to The Cure a lot lately. Haha, suddenly, I have like, 5 of their albums. You know, sometimes I just get so sick of certain people's propaganda and hypocrisy.... Then I found the song "us or them" by The Cure, and yeah, it truly expresses how I feel. It's a great song that just screams "LEAVE ME ALONE OR ELSE!" (LINK)

Mutual

2008-11-20T15:25:00.000+08:00

Haha, i was reading some music review on www.sputnikmusic.com. And the reviewer wrote this sentence "We all love church hymns; religious or not. Something about robust, soulful black women singing songs filled with repetition, positive messages and catchy blues rhythms is appealing to humankind (especially if voice warbles are thrown in the background)" Which is hilariously true. For some reason, there's that togetherness when they sing and it just warms you up.. I just find it amusing that someone has finally put this into words. I mean, haha, i feel understood xP So anyway. Talking about choirs reminds me of this scene in this movie called "August Rush" (awesome movie). Anyway here's the link ^^

Alone With Others

2008-11-19T16:43:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was awesome.. It's funny how the simplest things are the best. It's so different (and special) to be able to sit down in a park with friends at night. We were like, staring at the starry sky (which we can only assume was starry because you can't really see stars when you live in the city), chit-chatting and joking. Everything was so random and casual, it kind of makes life so peaceful for once. There were no annoyances or frustrations or whatever because well, we didn't plan anything and were able to just go along with the flow. Hah, and it was a damn good flow. It's always great to be able to be open with each other. If there was a song for that wonderful evening we had, I'd want it to be "a horse with no name" by America. (LINK) "cause there aint no one for to give you no pain" Cause yesterday was THAT peaceful and carefree.

Mushy

2008-11-17T10:18:00.000+08:00

Apparently, mushy means over-sentimental, sentimental means over-romantic and we all know what romantic means. So mushy means over-over-romantic. Hm. Yeah. Okay, that was just some pointless, somewhat fictional fact. First weekday of my holiday today!................................................and another great news: I'm going to singaporeeeeee. Like, finally. It's settled. Well, sort of. Okay, I'm too lazy to elaborate on anything today and if I keep writing, it'll only end up as rants. Oh, I'm also too lazy to link songs today. So yeah, just a pretty pointless post today.

Fun

2008-11-15T23:09:00.000+08:00

Today was pretty fun.. Nothing beats pizzas, water fights and hanging out with friends. Oh, the photos that turned out was a bit of a bummer, but oh well, it's not so bad.. =X I keep thinking of the song "raindrops keep falling on my head" by B.J. Thomas. It's so playful and cute, which is what I feel right now. I'm totally in the holidays mood, although I was already in that mood before the holidays. But now I'm in like, I dunno, overdrive? Which is not necessary a good thing, but yeah. I feel good and happy-go-lucky. Wheeeeeee. Now, to figure out about holidaying in Singapore... Anyway, here's the LINK. As usual xP

Awkward

2008-11-13T21:18:00.000+08:00

It's so sweet and nice when someone calls you their best friend. That euphoria never gets old. Best thing is, it's the person that you actually like. Euphoric, ecstatic, whatever. I felt all that. However, at some point in time, you tend to go like, "What if he/she gets bored of me ?" And I did just that. I always worry that this new level of friendship might not last. Call it anxiousness, call it nervousness, call it paranoia, I don't care. It's a question that, inevitably (to me), has to be asked. I mean, how long can we bask in this pinnacle of friendship. It has to get old sooner or later, and we would find other people as replacements. That's probably not true, but I always feel that I'm a boring person and there are better or more fun people out there. So, in my own way, I tend to push people away. It's just something I can't help, whether it's because of my "emo-ness" or not. Anyway, today, I'm sick of this feeling and I keep recalling the song "lucky" (link) by Jason Mraz and Colby Caillat. It's such a cute song and it reminds me, for now, of how lucky I am to have this friendship with this certain somebody.

Joy

2008-11-07T21:17:00.000+08:00

I am so unbelievably happy. Terribly terribly joyful. While I can't tell you why, I can tell you, I've never been this happy in so long. Never, in so long. I'm so happy, I'm inspired. To do what exactly, I don't know. But I want to remember this. I have NEVER felt like this in so long... Now I'm just repeating myself. Anyway, I finally got Lhasa De Sela's "the living road" album. And, I must say, I'm impressed. I'm still listening through it, but it totally rocks. Everyone should try to get hold of the album. Look for it, bribe someone for it, pirate it, I don't care. The music is so good. She has such a soulful voice, with backing musicians that obviously feel the same emotions she feels. The percussion on this album is delicate and lovely, and every thump and smack is felt with a certain power. This has nothing to do with force, though. Instead, it has everything to do with the authority they posses over their music. Everyone on the album has such a wonderful control, that every note sung or played or hit gives you a sense that the note was made just for that moment. There's a song on the album that I really like so far, "anywhere on this road". It just epitomizes the whole album for me. LINK (this version differs from the studio version. its more simple and there are not as many instruments, so really, try to find the studio version to experience the actual awe of it all) Check it out and you'll find yourself in a whole new world of music.

Love Being In Love

2008-11-06T21:13:00.000+08:00

Initially, it sucked that the person I love doesn't have that mutual feeling for me, but now that I think of it, I love it. I'm only 16. Any relationship I have now is probably going to fail, either in the near future or the distant future. If that person loved me back and we coupled, we would probably end up having a bad break up and then we won't get to enjoy each other's company. But, now I realize the joy of just being friends with someone you love. Every time the person talks, it makes me happy and at the same time, I do not have the pressure of carrying the conversation. We're free in this relationship. And if I ever stop loving this person, our relationship is still safe. I love being in love.

Unbelievable

LINK - "better days" by Peter & The Wolf.. Yeah, I was actually going to type something here yesterday but I was pissed off and my mum was not giving me much privacy, so I decided not to... Instead, I started listening to that song. I can't really find a proper MP3 of that song, and the link to youtube isn't really good... but yeah, the song's such a soothing one. From the crooning at the beginning to the near mumbling at the end, the song just picks you up, carries you like a balloon, and gently puts you back again. Anyway, just a random note: Tomorrow's the last day of exams! Finally... Extra time to scout for music...

Issues And What Not

2008-10-31T20:08:00.000+08:00

Firstly, there's a mosquito flying around the freaking computer and its bites are scarring my leg. Secondly, the other comp is making purring noises and its not even on. Thirdly, this is the second time im typing this because of some internet malfunction earlier. Lastly, I just re-downloaded the Graduate's Evergreen EP.... and it rocks :D I'd forgotten about it after I lost it the last time when my comp was reformatted. Anyway, they had an awesome music video that came with the EP, "sit and sink". LINK They guys really know how to rock, and move, and look good =X. I'm too lazy to talk about the song today, so just watch it for yourself. <3>

Heaven for the weather, hell for the company

2008-10-28T20:03:00.000+08:00

I remember once, one of my dumb teachers said that Christians were stupid because all they talk about is wanting to go to heaven. Then she went on and said a stupid thing like, "There's no casino in heaven. Why would i want to go there?" In my mind i was like, "What in hell makes you think there's one there." I mean, seriously, it was a freaking dumb thing to say. Anyway, that teacher was transferred somewhere else for obvious reasons. Yesterday, I bought this album by The Streets. The album's called "Everything Is Borrowed". While the music's not exactly the best, it's still fun. The thing that struck me, however, was the lyric(s). There's this song called "heaven for the weather".Here's the LINK Sometimes I start thinking a lot about God and stuff and this song really depicts how I feel. It's not a song to take too seriously of course. And it's not a song to use to start a debate on religion. There's another song on the album that really hits me too. "I Love You More (Than You Like Me)" (LINK) Funny... I had an experience exactly like what the lyrics of the song narrates... This band hits the right notes in me every time i listen to them. Somehow, there's this familiar feeling I get from them, the same feeling I get from my past experiences. I love this band to bits and I wish I could hug Mike Skinner.

That Dwelling Song

2008-10-25T19:57:00.000+08:00

Sometimes when I listen to songs, one of them would always stay in my mind for a while longer than others. When a song does that, I kind of listen to the song as much as I can and in the end, I get to know the song inside out. If it persists in me long enough, I end up trying to play it on guitar or my drums. This time, that song is "my iron lung" by Radiohead. When I first heard this song, it was on MTV and it was playing one of their live concerts. The song started pretty soft and IMO, it was a little playful. However, when the chorus came in with a bang, I totally wasn't expecting it. Neither was my dad. The first thing he said was, "What is this? It's not a song, it's not music, it's sounds like noise to me." Yeah, when he said that, I was pissed of. Really. THE CHORUS WAS SO AWESOME LA. (i was gonna put for **** sake instead of LA, but im trying to lay off the bad words a bit and saying for goodness sake didn't seem enough) so anyway. Yeah. It felt like my dad was judging the song too fast. As though he was accusing it the same way the Jews accused Jesus. It wasn't right. AT ALL. Yeah, I feel strongly about this. Anyway, all in all, the song is great and it has its right to stay in my mind for a long time. I should play it now and torment my dad. But wtv. Here's the LINK dudes. Seriously, click it.

Daydreaming

2008-10-25T08:43:00.000+08:00

Sometimes i go on MSN just for this particular Person and when that Person's not online, i patiently wait. Usually im lucky and Person comes online fast, but sometimes Person takes ages to come online. If that's the case, i'll go do other things and come back in half an hour or so. However, sometimes Person's online but has a busy status on. I hate saying hi to people with busy statuses, so usually i either go offline and come online when they aren't busy or i wait for them to say hi. When it comes to Person, i usually wait online... While i wait, i tend to daydream. Yeah, i DO do other things, like writing this, while waiting but my mind isn't fully paying attention. In any case, i found myself daydreaming today and this beautiful song was playing in my background: "hope valley hill" by Helios. Here's a link to the song. I stumbled onto the song when i went to www.obscuresound.com (yeah yeah, another MUSIC blog) If you listen to the song without imagination, you might find it boring and aimless. But if you relate this song (no, im not asking you to be emo) to your dreams you get the feeling that you are floating through them. Personally, i think that we should all listen to songs while dreaming once a while. It really refreshes you and renews your hopes of achieving your dreams sometimes.

The Treasures Found From Skipping School xD

2008-10-24T05:45:00.000+08:00

Skipped school today :D Anyway, i'm going to study soon, so i'll have to make this quick. Was looking around for some acoustic music to play on my guitar earlier and i went to one of my favorite music blogs: www.moteldemoka.com ... (ok, i DO read blogs. but only music ones =X and i totally recommend that you check out blogs like those) ANYWAY, i found this awesome song on it. "My Favourite Waste of Time" by Marshall Crenshaw. It's such a fun and innocent that i think a lot of us can relate to. Here's a LINK to the song cover by Owen Paul . (original version's tough to find but it can be found on motel de moka) Owen Paul does the song its justice though, so go right ahead and play it. This LINK is a live performance by the original artist. I always prefered studio versions of songs though, but enjoy anyway :D

Always Celebrate A Missed School Day.

2008-10-22T15:31:00.000+08:00

Oh i know what you ppl are thinking.. "she's so happy because she skipped ONE school day? How lame." (Ok, maybe not, but i'm bored and i'm itching to write something) Well, forgive me if i'm not your average rebellious school punk who skips school for a lousy cigarette and gets in trouble later. I'm the kind of person who knows how to pick her fights. So anyway, I'm skipping school and i feel like celebrating because the past few days has been a draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag. Yeah, come celebrate with me and blast this song on your speakers right now. Yes. Right. NOW. It's called "School's Out" by Alice Cooper. I'm sure some of you know it. lol.. LINK!!! for those of you who offensively don't have the song. Anyway, click PLAY!

Another Blog I’ll Stop Using Soon. Whoopie Dee.

Hmm. Don't know why you're reading this... I definitely didn't ask you to. And it's such a waste of time. But, (shrugs) whatever. Im the last person who should be talking about not wasting time. In the middle of exams now and as usual, im not doing very well. But Im not going to complain about it. I know that all i have to do to do better is study......... =/ Typing blogs is like talking to myself. That's probably why i ditch my blogs after a short while. Anyway, since you're reading this, here's something you could do: listen to "a walk through hell" by Say Anything. It's a great song. And it's definitely better than reading blogs. Hm. Maybe I'll use this blog to recommend a song or two after all. Ok, im going to stop blabbering now. Here's a LINK for you lazy bums.
