Maybe we, Why don’t we
sit right here, for half an hour
We'll speak of what
a waste I am and
how
we missed your beat again
---------------------------------------------------------


hey guys. been a busy weekend, so i'll start from friday night.

got into the idol competition for my camp and we came in fourth. aint that bad after all, considering the minimal practice we had. first and second went to some hiphop dancing guys and third went to an acoustic 4 piece band, that i think had more practice den us.. definitely. but credit to their vocalist, not only for his nice epiphone semisolid les paul but for his nice voice that carried through the Five For Fighting - Superman song pretty well.

my band was the opening act and they didnt allow us to do soundchecks till we went up. prolly the soundcheck we did lasted arnd 5 mins ? fastest ever tunings and amp configuration timings. anyhow we played Daughtry - Its Not Over and Muse - Time is Running Out. Both ended well as we mixed the songs up. haha before that i teased the crowd with abit of enter sandman and sweet child o mine. quite a fine performance i must say, despite my bassist being abit tensed and abit off tune. still kudos to everyone for stepping out their level when we needed to. getting 4th isnt that bad! hope to get the pics soon.

i barely had enough time to sleep as i reached home around 1 ? had to wake at 5 the next morning, for guard duty. My entire saturday was spent playing psp, doing sentry, talking cock and eating kfc in camp, not too bad. butt its an entire weekend burned man!! oh well.

sunday was sleeping sleeping non stop day. i reached home at 11 and slept till 530. yup, a pig if u might call me, but i was pretty zonked out. proceeded to makan with des and mel. speaking of which, des is enlisting this friday. hahaha! where got time.. 7 more months ORD LO. hahahaha.


today was my off day. so i just went to slack at mels house in the afternoon and ate prata later on. nothing too fancy. my life's the same everyday more or less.

okay im off to sleep.

hey guys, havent blogged for sometime so well, here's some updates.

recently found band mates, formed in my army camp.. seems with all have similarities in musical tastes, especially for muse songs. anyhow, my battalion dinner which is on this friday is going to be held in one of the halls at expo so its going to be freaking grand, and tomorrow's the auditions for the band performances. so hope that we get in, but if we dont also nevermind lah cos we only practiced..... erm zero times before. but we all got experience with bands and stuff,plus i gotta confidence in this band, so we'll be treating auditions tmr like a jam session. lets hope we pull through. gotta lug my guitar plus effects pedal to camp tmr. super heavy can.

besides that, last sat i entered a soccer tournament with my friends, but we only got to the semis, so sad. i played gk for them cos we were short of keepers. good fun nonetheless.

okay so heres all the things that are happening around me now. besides that im just the plain old weary boring me. weee.

and here's a thought.
sometimes dont you feel situations just cant stop from getting bad to worse?

you get forsaken and thrown into a corner like broken furniture.

"its served its purpose, now its time to get a new one"

some things i've given serious thought about.


is it possible to love, a person that you've never met, never talked to before, but yet once you see their face , talk for just a blissful 5 minutes, you know you've seen someone special, someone unique. you dote, or at least try your best to get to know her as a good friend. sometimes monetary laws you once strictly upheld are shown the door as you spread your wings of selflessness and benevolent. even if u barely know the person, you'll try to talk, trying to grapple onto each passing minute, for you know time is short. okay even if you've known that person for many years, you'd think you've forged some special bond. is all this crap possible?


yes.


but is it possible that the person, is not interested, or maybe just regards you as an acquaintance (sometimes even after a long period of time), more often than not associating that very conversation, that moment (you treasure so much) as mere chit-chat or an ordinary meeting ? for the record, the latter doesn't know, or (in worst case scenarios) give a damn, that your just trying to be nice. and yet being the blind fool you stumble upon each roadblock with glee, dismissing it for you think you would get what you want in the end. only a fool would do such a thing, no?


yes.


its painful and very unsurprisingly agonising to watch such a scene, less so experiencing one yourself. an unfortunate victim of circumstance? or just terrible EQ. or maybe your bad haircut. or just that maybe you'll never get to meet her, you'll never fit into her social life, you'll never ever cross her mind. disheartening, but as they say, the truth fucking hurts.


but sometimes maybe you wonder whether its your fault.
you blame the insecurities, that indecisiveness, your impulsive behaviour, your bad fashion sense, your physical shortcomings, or the lack of some intelligence and wit in your small bloody head.


a dilemma? you could rightly say so. you struggle to face the facts, and off goes your mood.
you slump into a bog of depression. vertigo and limbo all drawn together in symphonic cacophony.


needless to say this is the problem with unrequited love. agape love. or perhaps a selfless heart. or maybe too much arrogance on my part. even so, there are so many heartaches, but no aspirin thus far, so I'm stuck.


some random rants and thoughts, i know many share the same sentiments. at least i hope so.


today i spent the entire day at home, playing my guitar, bass and drum machine. also played the com, played the ps2, played every playable darn thing. nothing can quench that flame of negativity. it just seeps in. but still as its said, it passes. you have to learn how to deal with situations of such on your own. you could gather help from friends and all but at the end of the day, you decide the way (your life goes).


like the saying goes, end your own troubles where you first started them. you are your own battle.


so zen masterish.haha. but true. i hope i win, cause im going through a quarterlife crisis now. okay maybe not a crisis. just a lil fucked up in the head now.


and tomorrow gotta go camp and have to wake up at 6. bloody hell. back to the monotony of our army.
happy saf day.
