Sexy and alluring, he pulls you in then pushes you away gently. Definitely a dark horse in the competition. Did I mention that he is a extremely classy gentleman tonight?

Jon introduced me a cover of The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Yellow Matter Custard. He said the drummer was good but I disagreed. Then I remembered a dude called Vadrum covered a Super Mario Medley. Now, that is what I called AWESOME. I was reminded of that beautiful evening when I was a performer on stage along side with some of my mates in the world. We stunned the crowd with our pleasant cover of the Super Mario Medley.

I can't help but think of the person who arranged this song for us...

Blah..I should get back to work.

Last Puff

The sun sets in the distant. Three figures walked toward the sheltered bus-stop where many like like them are there for a purpose. She took out her cigarette from her small branded bag. The other followed suit, digging for a cigarette in his hollow packet. She placed it between her lips and brought a small rectangular object near to the stick.

Click. A small ember hovered over the top of the device and lighted up that cigarette.

"Hey, I need it too!"

She blew the grey smoke into the air and handed him the lighter where he urgently lighted his own.

The newbie stood there with his heart pounding with his feet rooted to the ground. He was wondering if he was going to be a part of this operation. He rubbed his forehead hastily as beads of perspiration kept flowing down. Obviously, he was nervous and had no formal training before.

Suddenly, she took out the stick and passed it to him. He was genuinely shocked as he had no idea that cigarettes can be shared. 

"Don't worry la...No AIDS one la.." she said to him jokingly.

His right hand was trembling and without thinking, he placed it between his lips. He took a deep breathe from the burning stick and tried to swallowed it down his throat and lungs. Naturally, as a first-timer, he coughed out with minimal smoke. His friends asked about him. He shook his head and continued to smoke.

After a few times, Newbie got used to it. Quite the contrary, he kind of liked it. It wasn't as smelly as other cigarettes and it had an icy flavour when the grey fumes passed into his mouth. However, the experience was short-lived. Cigarettes burn faster than a incense stick. Either that or he sucked in too much smoke for each consumption.

He threw his stick into the grass nearby. She adviced him not to smoke anymore and he agreed. But deep inside, he was desiring for another stick. He hadn't got addicted but got hooked onto the exotic smell that particular stick burned.

Desires aside, he knew he had to stop. The principles that he had had became a set of guidelines. Lines had to be toed and no crossing over.

This...is my FIRST and LAST puff.

Reminiscing the smell of that cigarette..

Sweet Conversations and Broken Alliances

Sweet Conversations and Broken Alliances

First time blogging on a MacBook. It definitely feels grand. Like on a verge of a breakthrough of an awesome technology. I'm taking my time to get used to this kind of laptop. Listening to Radiohead's Bodysnatchers while chatting with new friends Jeffrey and Jon.

Here the post begins.

I realized that this blog has nearly no more any loyal readers. But who the heck cares? It makes my job of a writer easier. Had a small argument with Su Juen just. But had already forgiven her for her reckless attitude towards me. Girl, I never said I don't like the way you talk. I just felt that you were hostile towards me. So I asked..You don't have to be fierce that way, do you? If you're that busy, just tell me and I'll get out of your way willingly. On a last note, all the best for your exams. Hope to see you around with less hostility in your tone. Haha..

Went to see the dentist today. Cleaned my teeth. Forgive me for my bad personal hygiene because I haven't seen the dentist for four years. Now my set of pearly whites look nice now. *Smiles* Thanks Elder Sis and Bro-in-law..

Should really get back to homework..Had a great talk with Yan Ting two days ago...

Helped out a classmate with the individual introduction presentation. Haha..he made me promised not to tell anyone that he got help. Don't know the real reason though.

Made friends with this guy, John Koh. Somehow we seemed to click. Though we have different hobbies and tastes in music. He likes old school rock like Metallica, Aerosmith and Led Zepplin while my taste in music consists a myriad of genres. But we both agree that Jonas Brothers is a gay band, so that's good. Haha..

I'm enjoying my life right now. I like the course that I'm doing right now. I get to see people coming from different walks of life. Malaysia, Campus Superstar, a percussionist from St. Patrick's Concert/Military band. You've got a girl who dropped out of a private school and now she's doing her second diploma. Another dude who didn't performed very well at the O' Levels but got through into this course because he appealed.

Life is pretty interesting for now. Some said you might get a culture shock when you're at the 1st week of your new school. I beg to differ. It fit like a glove for me. I never had any shock. Except for the fact that my classmates isn't what I had in mind. But got to make the best out of everything, so let's make lemonade out of lemons!

For my classmates who came here, I don't hate you guys. I mean, everybody's got their own thing, so I may not like it at first but I'll learn how to get used to everyone. Territory's unfamilliar so don't blame me for my aloofness.

I do prefer to be cheerful and goofy, okay? *roll eyes and give a breathe of relief*

Tired

School is awesome

Learning ABCs

I have to get back to square one and learn how to live a fulfilling life with no regrets.

Not only for myself but also for the people around me.

Engine died and I'm going to jumpstart it again.

With full throttle.

Wise dude: Try not to stay off the course, man..
Me: Will do, sir.

7th April 2009

Curse of Silver carries on to wreck people's emotions. Tears flows like water falls. For once, I'm glad I'm not in the Band Room. Left Singapore Conference Hall with much regret and sadness. A sea of happy mob surrounds us as we trudged our way down to the base floor. People tearing up, hugs going on, joyous groups smiling away...Somehow I am irritated. A guy in red walked by, his teeth showing. Wanted to grab him by the lapels of his red smart shirt and bruise him up.

If you think imagining Nan Chiau Wind Orchestra breaking down is quite a scene, think about YOUR own band breaking down upon the arrival of the results. Speechless and unable to comfort them except offering a hug. Never a guy who's good with his words, I could only offer hugs of encouragement and help alleviate the grief that struck them hard in their hearts. The hugs meant "You've done your best today and I'm really proud of you for holding on to the end." Of course, people could interpret it in a different manner, depending on their mood that day.

Finally found a shoulder that I could cry on. Of all the people, she was the last person I expected. Just confirms that someone who's been there your whole life is the most suitable candidate for Shoulders Idol. Told me something that I hate to admit but I had to. Dried my tears and walked back home, only to find a pleasant surprise.

A small gathering. Warm and pleasant. For love birds flown to and fro. They arrived home. Added life into this cold and empty mansion where darkness conquers. Like a pain reliever, my wound no longer felt hurt and was plastered with a face of Hello Kitty.

Hello Kitty wages war.

Last run-through is over. Plenty of practices but only one Performance to determind the standard. Stay focus and relax. Remember the advices given. Nothing else to perfect for there is no more time. Do the best and, as many as said, don't regret.

Chance is really good. Many may not believe in luck but I believe all people need bit of luck in their lives. So here's hoping that Lady Luck will shine upon you guys and push you guys into the reign of Gold. Pray hard and stay SAFE.

Watching the band improve over the days since last year has been a memorable experience for me. Proud of you bunch. You have my blessings...

My Time's up.

Jigsaws Falling Into Place

Jigsaws Falling Into Place

Speeches that touch
Emotions are evoked
Eyes turned red
Cue the embrace

My Universe shatters
God looks upon
Points his finger
Sneer plastered on

Hanging my head
Unable to talk
Tinkering the ivories
An excellent day

Sadness doesn't overwhelm
Faith holding on
For both parties
Victory in sight

That dreaded music competition looms closer. People pushing harder than usual, hoping that their effort would be awarded fair and just. Year of 2009 turned out to be a hoax. Bronze got polished til Gold in just 2 years. How can Coral Secondary played so well? I just don't buy it. Nan Chiau Wind Orchestra, one of the best bands I've ever seen, failed to clinch that Gold. Overheard and heard that they played their best and deserved it. People were outrage, tears overflowing and a tutor lost a bet.

Plethora of Silvers and little Golds this year. Where will Pasir Ris stand? History is in the making, my friends. Nothing's certain til the results are out. As for Khalis and his little "COP" joke, fuck you.
