Hahas, I don't know why but I've been telling people to use their head for testing lately... Like if the question is "Is the oven hot yet?" I'll end up saying something like "Why don't you put your head in the oven and we can see how hot it is". Hahahas. Might get whacked pretty soon if I don't stop it but who cares, for now its fun

I got no idea why am I so tired today... And even though I'm really tired and all, somehow I'm still delaying sleeping time by typing meaningless nothings here on my journal page. Qutie a waste of time really. But I just don't feel like sleeping. Even though my eyes are almost half closed now. Doesn't really matter though, cause of the millions of hours spent on the computer I probably have a very good feel of my keyboard and can type with eyes closed. Not like it's a very hard skill to master or anything but it's one of those skills that isn't exactly interesting or money-making so it's pretty much stupid. But of course if I were to copy tons of information onto my computer it would be rather useful cause I don't have to keep looking up and down to copy I can just stare at the paper or the source of information (not on the screen) and just type. And the sad part is that my fingers aren't very big but they're clumsy. Very clumsy. Probably the reason why I get a lousy score on Typing Mania on Facebook.

Anyway, this fat ass have got to start swimming and jogging soon. Getting really unfit and the lack of sleep isn't exactly helping in any way. Getting weak all over and getting really thin. Only the tummy is not going down though hahhaas. I don't suppose the tummy is a good thing hahas. Well, except that in the chinese culture, the roundness is deemed as lucky

Oh, I got Black Clouds & Silver Linings just the other day. Awesome album. But sad to say, not their best effort. Probably some half-assed effort. But if it's good, then it's good. I still like it either way. I hate to say it but Dream Theater have gotten pretty darn comfortable in the way they produce their songs nowadays and it somehow shows in their music their half-assed effort hahas. If only I have even 1/10 of their talent, I would be able to sit on my fat behind and write and create songs with little or no effort and still sound great. Oh well, I can dream I guess.

Well anyway, the new album got me practising some guitar stuff that I've always put off till tomorrow in which tomorrow never comes. Not much, but I really need to squeeze in some guitar time or not I'm just going to lose everything I've worked on with my guitar until now. Everytime I pick up my guitar once a week during the weekend I feel that I have lost a lot of skill. Quite a number of months back when I started guitar, I'd practice everyday and improve at a mega rate. But now even the maintanence is tough. And I dream of getting to John Petrucci's level hahas. No time, no mood, no nothing. When I pick up my guitar during the weekend I just want to hit the strings and make some music. Too tired to practice the techniques and stuff so I'm like not improving hahas. So the tough stuff are really hard to play and it's taking ages to learn which is really demoralising on this guitar journey lol. AHHH. Heck.

Ok I think I better get some rest. The lack of sleep isn't good at all, not one bit. Ciao.

Hey! Just a short entry while I'm slacking off studying for my exams hahhas.

Hmm, so why exactly is there an extended holiday? Well, now with the H1N1 virus thing going around, I guess my school is just extending the 2 weeks study break by 1 more week as a precautionary measure against those lousy microorganisms that ruins our lives >.< Anyway, it's not much of an extra holiday if they are going to give us assignments and more projects to do during the week. Quite tiring really. Especially since I got to juggle studying and doing up my projects and the additional week's assignments. So much for procrastinating and putting off studying till the last minute hahas.

And Dream Theater's Black Clouds & Silver Linings was released last week! Need to get my hands on a copy soon. Haven't had time to head over to town and buy one yet. But I must get it real soon lol. And talking about music, I'm still working on Wither and Sound of Muzak lol. Sound of Muzak is the hardest crap to sing and play on guitar... EVER. Oh, and I'm transcribing The Count of Tuscany intro part and intro solo. Whee.

Ok, not much time left, need to go soon or not I'll be stuck on the com for a few more hours.

Hey hey hey! Well, it's been slightly more than a month since I've last posted, and the holidays are almost over. Almost. Last 2 weeks? to do stuff that I might not be able to do during the school term. Stuff like slack around a lot, watch tons of shows, go out to meet old friends (and new friends), take a good look at the interesting world out there and just admire the beauty of the people that live in this wonderful place. And it must have been the lazy days I've been spending which made me so uninspired to even think of a lousy subject title for this journal. Not like any of my journal entries have good titles but I don't careeeeeeeee.

Words. Words. More words.

Well, I'm glad that we all have a community like deviantart, which provides a writing space for me to just rant lol. I've been keeping blogs for the longest time but they always die after a few months. Sometimes, it can't even last weeks. Come to think about it, I've been blogging since I was 10? That's probably a few years just after the internet became popular hahas. But of course nobody would have blogs back then. Everybody tried their best to make webpages with all kinds of hovering animated cursors and sparkly backgrounds. I guess I was on that bandwagon too. Only for a short bit. Back to the topic on writing spaces, I am so happy that I get to rant a lot here and the best part is that I'm totally talking to strangers which is cool just because even if you do have any opinions about whatever I type here, I can always choose to ignore it and it won't bother me one bit. And if it's something good, well, it's mine and everybody else's to keep.

Meh. Tired of typing wordy emo stuff. Totally me but I hate it completely. Well not completely, more like partially or somewhat. Anyway, with all the time I have on my hands, I'm so happy that I managed to learn quite a number of guitar stuff. I've been slacking a hell lot on my guitar journey, always playing the same old stuff, never really venturing out to try new stuff. But I'm glad I had this holiday. Managed to pick up... 2 songs! Well they're somewhat easy but I don't care, at least I'm playing something new lol.

Hmm after typing that I figured I need to set some song goals to actually make me learn stuff. Ok, I'm going to do just that. And to make myself feel better I'm going to mention that I've completed the 2 songs LOL. I must at least learn 3/4 of the stuff here by the end of 3 months. Ok at least by the end of this year =x

1. Unholy Confessions - Avenged Sevenfold [Completed]
2. Warmness on the Soul - Avenged Sevenfold [Completed]
3. Meaning in Tragedy - As I Lay Dying [In Progress]
4. Lightbulb Sun - Porcupine Tree [Insert start button here] lol.
5. The Wicker Man - Iron Maiden [In Progress]
6. One Last Breath - Creed [In Progress]
7. Scarlet Rose - Edguy [In Progress]
8. Stream of Consciousness - Dream Theater [In Progress]

Hmm... Ok I think I'll leave it at 6 songs. Don't want to set too many unreachable goals hahas. And it seem like Lightbulb Sun is the only song that I want to pick up but haven't started. Need to try it soon. So many songs to learn on top of randomly coming up with wierd odd time rhythm strumming patterns. THERE's JUST TOO MUCH TO DO! Hahas, I haven't mentioned this but I've been trying to tab out a song with all the random odd time strummings and see what I can come up with lol. So far, after many bars of 6/4 , 5/4, 9/4 and whatever wierd odd time signatures, I got a 1 minute long tune! Woohoo! Got to keep working on it lol.

Now this post is getting mega lengthy so I guess I'll stop here. To all my friends, or friends to be, I love you all (I really do), take care and goodbye And I hope I'll be back with some new drawings, real soon.

**EDIT**
Too lazy to type a new entry so here I am hahas.

Just wanted to update the music learning list because I kinda got tired of some songs altogether hahas after hearing it a million times and playing it (well, TRYING at least) gazillion times hahas... So here's a new list!

1. Wither - Dream Theater
2. She Talks To Angels - The Black Crows
3. The Sound of Muzak - Porcupine Tree

Hahas, its only 3 songs but I'm almost done learning the full song for the 3 Just need to get the soloes down properly and practice tapping or tremelo picking for the wither solo I dunno cos I haven't bothered to look tabs up yet so I got no idea what techniques John Pet used for the really fast parts hahas.. Sounds pretty much like a combination of both i dunno >.<

Kk, take care and bye

Woohoo! The long awaited school break is here! And... I got nothing to do -.- Which actually is somewhat of a good thing... Because I'm some big time slacker... Who just love to laze around, sit and stare into blank spaces, look like I'm deep in thought (or day dreaming but I'm not even dreaming or thinking of anything)... There's just so much to do for a stoner!

No mood to draw for some unknown reason even though now I got tons of time... All I want to do is slack my time away... Ok maybe not. Got lots of catching up to do with friends all... Haven't met quite a few groups of friends for a bursting long time. Need to meet soon. MUST. And then need go eat botak (eh weijie, hinting ah please take notice). Oh, for those that don't know what's botak, it actually means bald headed. But I'm not into eating bald headed people obviously lol. For this case it's just a western food chain over here in small, sunny island Singapore.

Ok! Time for the usual music & me updates I think I'm going practice quite a lot of guitar this holiday and hopefully I'll be able to own the mega prosti weijie hahhas. I'll be developing my techniques and speed and try to play some Dream Theater then realise that it's overkill and then go hide at one corner, emo and cut myself. Seriously, no. Oh anyway, I'm starting to really get back into progressive metal after listening to all the soft poppy rock stuff for quite awhile now. That's the thing about prog, somehow it never really dies lol. It's like I've finally come... HOME . Hahas. And I can't believe I missed out on Mind's Eye. Awesome prog metal. I should have gotten hold of their stuff long ago. But nevermind, at least I got something new to listen to this holiday. Some other bands I'd be listening to a whole lot, especially since I'm getting back to the prog metal mood, would be Dream Theater (heh obviously ), Andromeda, 7Days, Darkwater, Pagan's Mind, Mind's Eye, Circus Maximus, Shadow Gallery, and Redemption. Of course I would listen to all the other proggy stuff like Frost*, Queensryche and Transatlantic but since I'm in the metal mood, I'll be listening to a whole lot more of the heavy stuff

Hmm, and I might be updating some Emo Man, so you might want to check that out in my scraps.

And that's about it for my dA journal update. Have a nice day and goodbye

Heyheyhey everybody! What's new with the world? I don't know. I haven't been awake for much of this past few days anyway.

So what exactly happened? Well, I've fallen sick on new year's, which totally sucks, you know it's true. Even if you don't think it sucks, just play along hahahas. Anyway, that was new year's. Had some high fever and some sore throat. Didn't see a doctor though lol. Too lazy sometimes. And I got better

Then, this past week came. Been getting slight fevers, or at least i felt warmer than usual but it wasn't anything serious so I went to school as usual, rush all the stupid reports and labs and whatever stupid stuff the crappy school made me do. The "normal" load of work that polytechnic students suppose to have. Everything was the usual until thursday... High fever. Again. That was when my throat got really bad so I actually went to see a doctor So I had a high fever and some bad throat inflammation, the doctor said. But what does he know, his only a doctor Hahahas. So he gave some medicine that made me drowsy and I dozed all day hahas. And I meant all day hahas. Only waking up for food. And another dosage of the drowsy stuff which made me K.O. after like 30 min. What a stupid waste of 4 days. I slept like 78 hours in 4 days. Never ever slept so much in my whole life. Of course I can go sleep at 10pm later to make it 80 hours just so that I can have a nice number but nvm. I think 78 hours is really quite a lot in 4 days. Considering theres only 96 hours in 4 days.

Even after resting so much my throat still hurts and I'm still coughing like a wei jie. I mean a dog. Hahas!

And I'm too lazy to type the rest of the stuff that I usually type in my journal entries so happy new year, and hope you all enjoy your 2009 just like how I enjoyed mine. Kinda. lol.
