The other day we went jamming at this new-ish studio near Arab St. It was pretty cool, and quite frankly the best studio I've ever been to in terms of equipment. Only thing missing is a Trace Elliott amp, but I'll be getting that when we play at the Esplanade Waterfront so I won't complain. Anyway we're going back there tomorrow - looking forward to it. I feel so.. I duno,
professional playing there. It's like, hey, we're not in some el-cheapo shack with instruments that are falling apart, we're in an ACTUAL STUDIO. The doors even have frickin security codes and whatnot. And a
waiting area. I mean, like an actual waiting area, one that looks like a doctor's office or sth. I guess the downsides are the price ($22/hr) and the location (have to walk abt 10 min from Bugis MRT). But you win some, you lose some, I guess.
What is CNY really about? Family? Money? Oranges? Watching lame shows on TV? Talking to people you only see once a year but wish you'd never see? Enduring stupid questions about when you'll get married when you don't even have a partner? ... Kinda glad I don't have to celebrate CNY. The only thing I celebrate about it is the getting to sleep in two days in a row. Believe me, that is something to celebrate.
I reached a new level on FF7:CC. I got the Graviga materia I've been (literally) dying (over and over) to get! And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, it just means you're not an FF7:CC freak, so don't worry. I don't know what it is about CC. I love the storyline, I love the characters (and am beginning to think I love Zack more than Cloud :X) and I know it's just a video game. But sometimes when people say "It's just XXX" about the thing(s) you love, you'll just reply, SO WHAT? Playing CC makes me happy. And sometimes I think life would be quite, quite different if we were all allowed to return to the beginning every time we make a stupid mistake.
By the way, my children tally has increased.
Eugene (1st son)
Linda (1st daughter)
Cedric (2nd son)
Bennie (2nd daughter)
Zane (3rd son)
Amanda (3rd daughter)
Klinton (4th son)
Valencia (4th daughter)
Melvyn (5th son)
Mervvyn (6th son)
Mervvyn is still my youngest child. Awww. I always knew he was a baby at heart.

I had things I wanted to say, but I think I'll pass.
Happy new year to everyone who celebrates it, and happy Valentine's Day too.

ulaanbaatar
Thursday, February 11, 2010
The capital of Mongolia is Ulaanbaatar. I am fascinated by the number of 'a's in that name.
In other news, there is a long weekend coming up and I intend to spend it sleeping and marking. Had course today on counselling - so many teachers were complaining about the things that bother them. I think many teachers are saddened by the fact that no one seems to give us credit for what we can do, they only ever look at the stuff we cannot manage. Oh well. I guess life is like that. Doesn't mean people shouldn't change their ways of thinking though.
Tomorrow I am going shopping. I don't care. I have waited very long for tomorrow. In other other news, Eugene's steamboat was cancelled. I was sad and annoyed with the people who pulled out. But then I remembered I'm going shopping, so I am not going to let that get me down.
I have also realised right now I am very tired of caring what other people think. In the end, who cares what I think? I mean seriously? I am just going to do what makes me happy, and if other people have got things to say they can get stuffed. Shove it where the sun doesn't shine, I'm not interested in pandering to your whims and fancies. Come looking for me only when you need me, then otherwise forget that I exist, then get upset when I have other things to do that are more important than you.
By the way, Pervy Boy has a gig coming up. The date was originally 5 March, but the Esplanade people changed it to 7 March :( I hope you guys can still make it down. It's at the Esplanade Waterfront at 7pm and it's totally free. Please do come and support. Bring your friends and family. This is a big thing for us and we hope to have as many of our fans there as possible. :)
There was a cute guy at my course today. But I don't even know his last name! So sad. I love nerds. Correction - I love cute nerds. Nerdy nerds are a bit... not my type.
I'm going to type out my song now. Hope I can get it recorded so you guys can listen. I'm quite proud of it. Haven't written a proper song since Happy Juice.
Do I seriously have to wear red tmr?!

Back to school! Sigh. Cough has returned. Wish I didn't have to talk so I wouldn't keep coughing.
Reading
Heartland in staff-room now. The chapter summaries from the Lit class are terrible! Have to redo most of them myself. -.- I refuse to give to those idiots who only wrote four or five lines. They can fail Lit by themselves.
Melvyn just told me something very interesting. LOL! I hope everything will work out.
In the meantime, the song that keeps playing in my head is STILL playing in my head. Got jamming next week! Can't wait.
Oh simple thing, where have you gone?I'm getting old and I need something to rely onSo tell me when you're gonna let me inI'm getting tired and I need somewhere to beginAnd if you have a minute, why don't we goTalk about it somewhere only we knowThis could be the end of everythingSo why don't we go Somewhere only we know?I miss the sound of your voice. I miss you.Labels: tired

hole in my heart

On MC. Coughing like a toot. Slept from 5+ yesterday afternoon to 6am this morning. New record. And I didn't even take any drowsy medicine.
We (Pervy Boy) had a gig on Sat outside Cineleisure. Shoutout to Mel for helping me soundcheck, and to WP, Khai and Chen Hui for coming all the way to catch the show. I love playing with Pervy Boy. One of the things I can do which doesn't make me feel old or like a teacher.
In other news, watched Advent Children AGAIN for like the 4th time. Still love it to death. Zack is my love. Cloud is my darling. And I'd rather dream of them than any Korean/Japanese/Taiwanese/Hongkong star, any day. :)
