Dream or Reality... You decide: May 2006

How to earn $$$ the easy way =)

1) Build a 24 hr prata shop near a main road but make the carpark hard to access

2) Make sure that you send the police to patrol there often (like every 10 mins)

3) Earn the $$$ from the summons gathered from lazy sinaporeans who will drive there just to eat but are to lazy to park coz the carpark is too far away.

Now you must be thinking, which cock will do that? Wellz, the cock that u are scolding happen to be the planners for a town in Singapore. I was eating prata just now with a couple of my pals and we have an interesting time seeing how people got summoned by the police. The cars keep on parking there, becoming easy prey for the police. Sigh... This is Singapore for you, where people will drive there for food but park illegally coz they are too lazy to walk... sheesh

Alrighty, it's break time! Time for another Japanese MTV! This group is all girls again. And they do have lots of stage presence! ROY! Go and learn from them hor!

Check out their set design and lightings!

She's Gone....

This song is dedicated to my acoustic guitar, whom I sold off to one hell of a player. It seems funny that all the guitars I own, always seem to go to this guy. Must be faith bah. Now that she's gone...I kinda miss her and the times I spend writing songs with her. Goodbye my darling...Hope that your new husband like you alot

She's Gone - Steel Heart

She's gone,
Out of my life.
I was wrong,
I'm to blame,
I was so untrue.
I can't live without her love.

In my life
There's just an empty space.
All my dreams are lost,
I'm wasting away.
Forgive me, girl.

(Chorus)

Lady, won't you save me?
My heart belongs to you.
Lady, can you forgive me?
For all I've done to you.
Lady, oh, lady.

She's gone,
Out of my life.
Oh, she's gone.
I find it so hard to go on.
I really miss that girl, my love.

Come back into my arms.
I'm so alone,
I'm begging you,
I'm down on my knees.
Forgive me, girl.

(Chorus x2)

Lady, oh, lady.
My heart belongs to you.
Lady, can you forgive me?
For all I've done to you.

I'm in love!

Yes! I'm in love! With my new Subraru STI!

I actually bought a Subraru STI even when I don't have a driving license yet.

She's chio... Black in colour, with the Subraru and STI words in silver

I'm so glad that I found her at the roadshow at Suntec. It's the last day and they were almost packing up when I say her there and decided she's going to be the love of my life.

Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you, my Subraru STI

Melanchonic Prataz

K it's the time for melanchonic prata to be served again.

Who trigger this feeling again?

Is it about the swan and toad thingy?

Is it about losing out on a bid on pedals?

Is it about some drama serial?

No....

It's Jingzhong, the fucking pain in my ass and many people's ass in SMU who's happily enjoying his exchange overseas and saving us from his noise and complains etc.

K lah...he's not that bad... I just make that up for drama effect...

Y did he make me feel melanchonic again?

Coz he send me an article regarding some NUS girl commenting on our SMU education and he's writing in to defend our beloved SMU.

Yes...The SMU that we learn to love and care about...No because of the state of the art building or world class education.

It's about the ties and kinship that all of us built with the school, the professors, and even the cleaners and security guards.

I don't know about you but I love my SMU and I'm gave up my grades just to ensure that her events will be successful. Many others I known gave up many things just for our beloved school. And through this, we experienced many things that you can't find in the normal education.

Which university will put a student in charge of close to 1/2 million worth of assets ?

Which university will support the students to run their own events?

Which university will allow and encourage the students to call their profs and managers by their first name?

Which university has Professors that comes down to support your band performance and take pictures using his SLR?

I'm not sure abt the rest but this is mine SMU Experience... And I'm loving every minute of it and I'm sad coz it's stopping now....

Conversation: 101 failed

Yes... I failed Conversation: 101 again. In fact, I never passed this subject anyway.

I had a dinner with her on tuesday, eating Japanese food.

While most guys would use the chance to chat and entertain her, I feel like a damn bore... with stupid and boring topics, if not for the food, I think she will fall asleep.

I always admired people that could start and maintain conversations easily. This is something that quiet and boring Ah Fu could never do. The gift of the gap is something lacking in me.

That's why I feel low and down most of the time. Whenever I open my mouth, it seems that I'm croaking like a toad. That's why I don't talk much... Coz I know I'm a toad... And I will never fit in...

A toad will be a toad, never to fly, never to soar...

(Sorry for being so low again...it's just that I feel low and insignificant especially when others can make you smile, but I can only make you yawn. I'm a boring toad... Only fit for the swamps...)

With or without you...

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And Im waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, shes got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I cant live
With or without you
With or without you

*Recorded and Performed by U2

My fave video of the day =)

No it's not porn!

It's not a video on food also

It's a video abt lightsabers and the FORCE!

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Just stop guessing and click below!

QiNobe for Superband!

K I'm back with my craze again. This band really rocks! Serious! Their energy level is damn damn damn high? How high? The videos will tell you how!

Their first debut at suntec! They performed Taiwanese Boyband Energy's song

The 2nd performance! Jay Choy's Ninja!

Their latest one! Jay Chou's Fearless!

Finally the hidden surprise! This clip is taken by someone during our Esplanade gig. This one is especially for Shuhui! Enjoy her 1 min of fame with the tamborine =)

My GAS =)

This is the bass I will custom make soon. It will be in lemon burst finish, with gold hardware and Seymour Duncan MM Pickup and Preamp system. There will be Prataz inlayed on the 12th fret of the ebony fretboard. I will call this, the Prataz Model

This will be my 2nd custom bass. White with full gotoh hardware in black. It will feature Seymour Duncan pickups and preamp. I will call this the scorpio model as I will inlay the scorpio sign on either the headstock or the 12th fret

This will be my 3rd custom bass. It will be in either lemon burst or rootbeer burst. It will feature Seymour Duncan pickups and preamp and feature full gotoh hardware in gold. It will be called "Ten" due to the word Sky in chinese that will be inlayed on it's headstock or 12 fret

Emo Elmo time

My fave band...my fave song...performed live

On a lighter note...

My dream actually is to have a band with a female singer. Why?

1) Female singers attracts more crowd

2) It's easier for a female singer to have attitude then a male one

3) I tend to write songs in an emo way...which is more suited for females to sing

Now who will be my dream female singer then?

I guess, I would really hope to get a singer from Campus Superstar.

Why CSS and not PSS?

1) I had being watching CSS more then PSS

2) I had listen to their recordings

3) Younger people means more creativity

4) I actually know some CSS ppl (Clara, Khim via msn)

5) One of them actually tagged my blog after I tag on her blog (Yangce, please email me your password ok?)

What kind of songs will I want to do then?

1) Retro stuff

2) Top 40s

3) Emo Elmo stuff that I write

4) Do As Infinity stuff

and anything she wants to sing hahaha

Alrighty, back to bass playing and improving my skills and for you, my readers, a picture of yours truely at Esplanade outdoor theater. Although the CSS folks had performed at MCS and other events, I had conquered Esplanade! Which I feel is the pinacle for musicians

Yesterday I cried

Yes, I did... Tears drop down again...

Why? Coz Margaret wrote me a beautiful testimonial, guided and advised me on my future career path.

Everything I go back to SMU and see her, I will always go back in tears....

Tears of gratitude for someone who trusted me, supported me and made me what I am

Tears of saddness for the end of opportunities for me to work with her again

Yes...this is the amount of respect that I have for this person, whom I deem as my guiding star in SMU.

Thank you Margaret, your lessons and teachings will be forever burnt into my mind

Arrigato

Sick yet again

Jogging when u are sick is a totally bad idea.

Was slightly down with flu yesterday and after the jog, I felt worst.
I'm not giving excuses so that I can skip my exercise program but it realli sux now.

No appettite, Sweating like mad even when my body is cold, my nose is running like a tap...

I need my own personal nurse to take good care of me liaoz =/

I like UVERworld

AAR of the Clara FC BBQ

K, it's wierd that I'm doing this on my blog but here it goes.

1) I bought too much food...Again =/
I should had guess that girls don't really eat alot. They only ate like 1 chicken wing, 1 kebab, some sausages and crabstick. But then, the prawns and sotong were quite popular. Therefore, I should prepare more of that in the future

2) The marinate was wrong
Marinating food when you are damn sick is a bad idea. Also, it's not good to mix peppercorn with chili flakes as it will be damn spicy, which Sirong can testify and complain to etc.
The Kebabs were slightly too saltish...I overdone it.
The only good thing was the prawns, which tasted good coz it's FRESH =)

3) The sukiyaki beer style of cooking is great =)
I should do that next time! Use an alum pan and whip up shiok level ten dishes for the rest of the ppl. And if needed, pour in beer or alcohol for the extra kick. I believe that many people will like that =)

Alrighty then, I will try out new recipies and stuff for my next amazing Ah Fu BBQ for my Studio Comm. People invited will be of coz my Studio Commies and selected friends. If you want to come, please let me know ok? Chio bus will be given proirity =)

My fave Jin Yong Story

My fave Jin Yong Story has always being Shen Diao Xia Lu or The Return of the Condor Heroes. Why?

Is it because it has wonderful martial arts like Sad Palms or Maiden Swordplay... NO!

Is it because it depicts the war between the chinese and the mongolians and how they bravely protected the City of Xiangyang... NO!

Then what's so great about this story if not for the martial arts or war then?

It's the love story inside....

The love story of Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu always bring a tears to my eyes.

How many times they had gotten together but just to be seperated by a cruel twist of fate but still their love for each other still remains.

This is love at it's greatest and purest. When both of them accept each other and love each other. Caring for nothing except each other. It's love that I'll never experience, love I'll never get...

Why am I blogging abt this now instead of the Clara FC BBQ that leave me broke and my fingers full of splinters and knife cuts?

1) Uploading photos is a pain in the ass

2) I'm blogging abt it so that you the readers can buy the new VCDs for me =)

K just to make u all happy, I will post some pictures of Clara and the BBQ =)
