A storm is brewing
And someone’s freezing
Out there, tonight
A little candle,
A flame so feeble,
To pull her through the night
And out comes a dozen
Crowding around her
As they listen,
To the howling
A little candle,
High up in the skies, not on earth
A flame so feeble,
Thinking it could warm a dozen
A little candle,
A flame so feeble
To pull them through the night
Phoenix: Take care of yourself..
Cat: I have 9 lives, YOU take care of yourself!
Phoenix: I’m immortal and sooner or later, you’ll be gone and I’m left behind.
Cat: Then I’ll make sure that 9 lives of mine won’t be wasted. Even as the amount of lives decrease and I’m being reincarnated, no matter what form I take, I’ll be sure to seek you and continue to stay by yourside for those 9 lives..
You must be wondering while the title? Well, the way I see it, life’s one big module where you won’t stop working on, unless you expire or choose to expire. The journey’s definetly not a smooth one. Its one hell of a rollercoaster ride..There are always times where we’re high up. Waay high up till you can’t see the ground anymore. But when things just give way and your headed for a collision course, you know its gonna hurt reallll bad..
Thus that’s what happened now. I’ve went up, and am tumbling through. So far past the twigs and branches. Doesn’t really help that one’s pride is wounded. I’d be lying if I’m saying that I’m not pissed. But I’m not pissed at anyone. I’m just really, really, pissed with myself. Pissed that I ticked people off due to my actions. I prided on myself not to step on people’s toes and life’ll go on smoothly. What a naive little boy I am..Though it’s all my fault, it does hurt to be told of your faults. Especially if it’s being told nicely. Adds salt to the wound..But oh well, I could whine and whine of the pain but I’m sure someone’s suffering even more than me be it physically or mentally. I can’t be pampered bout this. It’s all but a small learning event in life. So, for the people whom I worked with before (if you do read this), I sincerely do apollogise. I can’t promise that I’d change overnight but I’ll put in the effort to change.
Lastly, I really deserve to be smacked in the head. I should stop pushing my cat away. Even when I’m in bad moods, she’ll come up to me and snuggle, as if she’s trying to comfort me. Why can’t I just open up and accept that hand which is reached out so blatantly. A hand which is specially for me. Why do I have to be so stubborn..Why does pride get in the way…Why…I really do feel bad whenever her ears droop when I feel down. Instead of accepting her kindness as a whole, a part of me just rejects that..I think I’m just not used to be living in the light..I’ve always believed that fighting your inner demons and problems have been a self-responsibility where you clean up after your own mess.
They do say that ‘I am sorry’ and ‘I love you’ have always been the hardest things to say..And I do understand that now. To sincerely apollogise, sucking up your pride to say so, really takes alot out of you..
Thus, to end this post. A final sorry to everyone. And to my cat, your really something which is hard to find. I’m dumb to have taken things for granted and so I say, ‘I really do appreciate you’.
Well, those of you who are close to me should know that I’m a person who hasn’t celebrated my birthday since I was little. Thus, today, 19th of October was just as insignifcant like any other day. The world goes on, minding its own buisness. Time passes, leaving the minutes and seconds behind.
However, for just that 15 minutes during break, time did stop. For someone actually BOTHERED to celebrate the day this insignificant being was born. A cake and a little present to boot. I must say, I was at a loss of what to say to that person.. Honestly, every bite I took from that cake filled me with melancholy as the past crept back up to me. How I envy those people who has friends and family who bother to celebrate their birthday. Shower them with presents and attention. How much they’re loved by the people around them.
But as for this insignificant being? None.
However, just for that 15 minutes, I felt special.
Okaaaayy. Its been awhile since I’ve updated and people are already naggin’ at me to do so. Where shall we start I wonder…
I guess we’ll start with my new class, W36E. I must say, breaking the ice in this class didn’t turn out to be a chore. Only on the 1st day and the class was filled with laughter. The facilitators were alright. The cognitive faci has got to by my fave and the least faves would be the physics and maths ones. That’s pretty much my testimony of the class thus far. I hope that all will be smooth sailing just like how it was back in W16B!
Well, to end it up(I know its short!), time to churn out more new covers. This time, its Shell, the opening song from the anime ‘Witch Hunter Robin’ and Waiting for you from the popular horror survival game, ‘Silent Hill’. As usual, all guitar parts are done by me. Cheers and enjoy ^^
Shell Cover – Witch Hunter Robin OP
Waiting for you cover – Akira Yamaoka
Its been awhile since I last posted so..Here’s something I thought up of to make people laugh and at the same time hope that you, the reader would reflect alittle on your life and what you have been doing with it
On today’s program we’re gonna interview Mr moth.
So, as you know, people think moths are dumb or stupid for being attracted to fire and getting burnt to a crisp. We shall now ask a Moth about what are his views on being stereotyped this way.
Me: Okay, so welcome to this interview. I made sure that this room is pitch black so that you won’t fly over to the nearest heat source or bright light.
Mr Moth: I thank you for that. Wouldn’t want me to burn myself to crisp eh?
Me: Err, yeah. Anyways, like I said earlier, what are your thoughts about humans thinking that you are dumb or stupid for, in simple terms, committing suicide?
Mr Moth: First off all. We’re not stupid or dumb..We are just appreciating beauty where its usually overlooked.
Me: So Moths are either artistic or romantic insects?
Mr Moth: Maybe? The point is, we’re not attempting suicide. We moths have a short lifespan unlike humans. Since we’re going to die early, why not make the best out of it and die WITH beauty rather than staying in the sidelines and dying WITHOUT beauty.
Me: Ah..So that’s something we could learn from moths and that is to be bold and live your life as if you’d die any year, day month, hour or even minute.
Mr Moth: Children, that doesn’t mean you should go around and throw yourselves in the fire or commit suicide.
Me: He’s right. Well, thanks for having you here and telling people of your stand about this whole ‘Moth’s are stupid’ fiasco. And on that bombshell, good night!
Well, things don’t always go your way.
That’s what they say.
But I still can’t help but feel upset.
As people are out there,
I’m cooped here.
Staring out of my window.
As the clouds cast a shadow.
Leave me already
Please?
I’m just asking for happiness.
Is that wrong?
Well, it’s been awhile and this post was intended for last week but I procrastinated xD So, yeah, 1 week of E-learning was a pain in the rear and it was all thanks to H1N1. I seriously prefer going to school for lessons then staying at home. Especially since Republic Polytechnic uses the Problem Based learning system. If I hadn’t met up with my classmates for modules such as Philosophy and Programmin, i’d have kicked the bucket at home. So, here’s some pictures on the 2nd last day of E-learning.
I recomended my classmates to do our assignment at this cafe called “Cat-socrates”. And that place is awesome, you get to use their power plugs, there’s awesome imported drinks which you won’t normally see at your local convinience store and a really nice ambience. Plus the owner of the shop is a really nice lady. Other awesome stuff about the cafe would be their vintage items and that you could stay in the store for as long as you want. It’s even written on the entrance that you could go in there to daydream >__<
Cheers from me(right corner), Charles (furthest behind) and Farliq (left)

It has been a day. Well, the day started off by me and Syahmee taking bus no. 105 to Far East Plaze. The plan of the day was to get myself a pair of new boots at Timberland. I could’ve gotten em at IMM but I wanted to explore the ones in the heartlands to see if there are different models. So, before me and Syahmee went to find Timberland, we decided to go to to the HMV Orchard to look at the many varieties of singles and albums there. So we then found out that we didn’t know where the Timberland outlet in Orchard was thus we made our way down to Dhoby Ghaut and went to Singapore’s “Mini Akihabara”. Went there to look at some manga. Seems that ‘Short Sunzen’ is not out and ‘Love Attack’ vol 6 is out of stock T_T.
We then went to Raffles City shopping mall to take a look at the Timberland outlet there. It was kinda dissapointing though. Thus we walked to Davis guitar at Peninsula plaza. As usuall, the place was just as crowded as ever. Syahmee asked if he could cancel his order for the ESP Eclipse but they said he needed the reciept, thus he cursed. I grabbed the 2009 catalogue for ESP Guitars and a box of new strings. Hungry, we made a U-turn to Suntec City just to eat at pastamania since we missed the taste of strawberry Italian Soda xD
After that, we took the train and dropped at Buona Vista to go to Holland Village. Home to the new Academy of Rock center. From the myspace pictures, I thought the surroundings was like “budget” but trust me, after setting foot into Holland V, we were both transported to a new world. The roads were narrow, there was a windmill on one of the shophouse roofs and of course the Academy of Rock. It was located above this icecream stall. The best thing is, there was a hell load of good stuff. Subway, 7-Eleven and many more. It reminds me of how Harry Potter first stepped into Diagon Alley. Pity I couldn’t take pictures of the place.
We ended the journey by going back to IMM to get my new boots. After a long day of walking, my legs feel as if there was steam coming out of it like an overheating engine. Other than that, I can’t wait for July 1st. Seriously, I think my days going to the Academy is going to be really interesting.
And so, I end this post with 2 new guitar covers, ‘Endless Rain’ and ‘Forever Love’ by the godfathers of Visual Kei themselves, X-Japan! Note, for ‘Endless Rain’, I only covered the guitar solo but for ‘Forever Love’, I played both guitar parts and solo as well. With that cheers and enjoy ^^
Contradictory title no? Well, it isn’t something random that I came up with. It’s “Gives you Hell” and “The wind blows” from The All American Rejects new album. And The point of this post is to share my cover of this two songs. Truth be told, I’m kinda amazed at the speed of me learning new songs.
Well some info about the covers:
Gives you Hell: I’m playing both guitar parts thus both left and right speakers would be playing different things.
The wind blows: I’m not playing any electric guitar parts. I covered the song using an acoustic guitar and just playing the chords of the song =D
Well, without further ado, here are the covers~
Gives You Hell cover – The All American Rejects
The Wind blows cover – The All American Rejects
