Its all a code, a secret. Solve it then you know..

I want it OVER!!!

arrghh.. I really want the exam to be over soon..
I want to work and get money.. I want to jam
I want to write song and record guitar and bass cover...

lots of song I want to learn..
P.O.D - It can't rain forever and P.O.D - Tell me why are two of the songs I'm gonna focus on later on summer holiday.. the lyrics just struck me today, out of the blue when the song played in my laptop.
other songs that I want to make cover of are some MCR songs, rage against the machine-bulls on parade, and also MUSE songs of course... :)

Immortal Lies

created @ 10:23PM  Oct 23, 2009

I can't recall it anymore

its just me against the world now

Others are happily exposed themselves

I can't do the same

I'm caged, you are caged, they are caged

the whole world is trap

layered by the dusts

blown by the wind

people learn to believe an immortal lies from the past

I can't forgive, I'll not forget

what you've done to me and the world

bizarre ambition on your mind

I'll never give in

written in 15 minutes, suddenly words just flow around  in my mind.. so I just grab a paper and a pen.. I think I'll leave this be.. Trying to turn it into a song would be difficult cuz the writing didn't really have a pattern...

the story content of this words are heavily influenced by MUSE.. but the words used are influenced by MUSE and The Rasmus..

Oct 21, 2009

I supposed to do revision for exam now.. But too lazy to do it..

I spend the day revising Marketing Plan power point for TGV cinema, facebook, play my guitar, and listen to MUSE.. till suddenly something went on my mind when I saw steve vai private tour video where he gave name to his two favorite guitars..

for 2 years I kept my acoustic guitar unnamed, and gave my electric guitar a half-assed name (blackie)

today, I finally got the inspiration of what my guitars name should be..

the L.A music acoustic guitar name shall be "Sam" from now on.
and the Ibanez Jem JR BK electric guitar shall be "Dean" from now on.

anyway, starting summer I will work part time @ sunway to gain money to buy a bass. I also decided the name for my future bass. Its gonna be "Bobby"

All of the 3 instrument shall become the "Hunters" Family. Hehehe

They name are all inspired from Supernatural characters. Somehow I think it fits the character of the instrument.

Dean is the straight forward, Clumsy, Macho, Rock n Roll, Violent kind of guy. Thats why his name shall be used for the black electric guitar.
Sam is the Loving, Smart, Complex, Diligent type of guy. Thats why his image more fitted to be in the Acoustic Guitar.

NIGAHIGA

because I post a topic regarding twilight before this.. I remembered about twilight spoof by Nigahiga

He is one of my favorite youtube comedian.

The Stain.. The change....

~~~Twilight and MUSE~~~

Whenever I am free
I like to check MUSE wiki and muse twitter

then one day.. I open the link from MUSE wiki which lead me to MTV movie blog which stated

"Meyer might welcome that scenario, as the author/music lover said she’d always hoped the gig could go to the lead singer for her beloved band, Muse. "Personally, I don't think anybody could do a better job than Matthew Bellamy, because he is an amazing composer and his instrumental stuff is just the way Edward should play, because its so complicated," Meyer observed. "It almost sounds like you'd have to have two people playing to get that level of sound. So, that would be my favorite."


AND also.. I found this on MUSE wiki

Stephenie Meyer lists Muse as an inspiration for her second novel New Moon. Acknowledgments of the novel New Moon: "-- And, finally, thank you to the talented musicians who inspire me, particularly the band Muse - there are emotions, scenes, and plot threads in this novel that were born from Muse songs and would not exist without their genius. --"

Acknowledgments of Meyer's third novel Eclipse: "-- I am in your debt, rock gods of Muse, for yet another inspiring album. Thank you for continuing to create my favorite writing music. --"

In her final book Breaking Dawn, Meyer also dedicated it to Muse. "And thanks also to my favourite band, the very aptly named Muse, for providing a saga's worth of inspiration. --"

When I read all of these I was like

UUrggghhhhh!!!!

COME ON... you just destroyed the image of the band.... they are a rock star and you keep linking them to your novel and movie. What the hell !!!... its like staining a BLACK cloth with a PINK color.. damn it!!!

its not that I hate twilight, but twilight should just stay away from MUSE.. STAY AWAY!!!

~~~CHANGE~~~
I don't know why.. but MUSE has changed so much in their new album.. they still rock my soul but there are parts of them that is missing in this album..

Muse-Agitated


I miss their energy and music that sounds raw


Muse-Stockholm syndrome

Check out 4:54.... I wish he will scream like that again in the upcoming gigs

Muse-Dead Star



One of my favorite Muse Track.. I miss their music that sound kinda metal.. and heavily distorted..


Hopefully in the next album Matt will play guitar more compared to piano

First time jamming as a bassist..

October 1st... at 3pm
I was jamming as a bassist for the first time @ d'rhytmix studio with Johan and Ivaldi for 1 hour and 30 minutes

we performed together before @ monash music club get together night..
we performed hotel california-eagles and wind of change-scorpion

five songs is chosen to be played in this jamming session
1. metallica - the four horsemen
2. metallica - orion
3. metallica - welcome home sanitarium
4. muse - resistance
5. muse - knight of cydonia

but we didn't really jam resistance as Ivaldi listened to the fake version of resistance.. lol

It was very nice to jam with them.. Both of them very skillful with the instrument
Johan with his line 6 pod x3 can make his guitar sound the same like the original song
Ivaldi, he didn't have a drum set but he managed to play the songs nicely.. I don't know how a drummer can practice using imagination.. Can guitarist or bassist do that?

Knight of Cydonia seems to be our favorite at the time.. however out of all the four song.. This song is the one that I have the major problem on.. I can't remember the notes of the first half of the song correctly.. However, we jam the second half of the song quite nicely... I still have to train my stamina on playing fast riff though..

My personal favorite is Orion... The bass is nice and I like it when Johan makes a fading in-out sound with his guitar...


looking forward to the next jam with them..

I think I need to buy a bass.. but I need to get the money first.. I have to work part time on summer no matter what...

PUNK CORE ISLAND!!!!

at 28 and 29 September 2009.. I went to pangkor island together with my friends..

17 people joined the trip.
Suwandhi, Megawatai rantai, Olaiva, Shanaynay, Stephanai, Pitok, Susan, Mamon, Yunny, Marlen, Rio, Arie, Amonk, Mollen, K, Hebi, and Me


----28 September 2009-----

Wake up early in the morning...
prepare my luggage and call the taxi... we need 5 taxi and I just got 3 deal with taxi drivers that I know, therefore I called sunlight taxi service. Around 6.40 called sunlight taxi, and 10 minutes later after I called, they called me back and told me that there is no taxi... I said "WHAT", and immediately they closed the phone. Got panic for a while and tried to call public cab taxi service. They didn't even pick up the phone. WTH!!..
I called taxi Kenny after that. luckily he got two taxi that can we use to puduraya, but the deal is rather expensive, RM30.

around 7.10 we went to Puduraya, and reach the destination around 8.05
Uncle mike friend which supposed to charge based on meter (25.??) charge us RM30..
I'm not the type of guy that would argue or fight for the fight ringgit.. So, sorry guys if our cost is RM5 higher..

At puduraya, we have a light breakfast of donut there and take the bus to Lumut at 8.35.
The 4 hours spent in the bus is very boring. Nothing to do, and it even hard to sleep, the chair is not comfortable enough.

Yinny, attempted to be kind to Hebi said "mundurin aja kursinya heb, KAKI KU PENDEK"
As I was sitting beside her, I immediately said what she had said once again louder... LOL

inside the bus

around 1 pm we arrived at Lumut and take Ferry at 1.30 to Pangkor Island.

inside the ferry

on the ferry..

After reach the island, we immediately check in the hotel and eat kwetiao goreng together...

First event on the island is cycling.
Yinny decided not to join the event.. maybe because she scared of falling of from a bicycle again.
Susan need to take a quick lesson of "how to ride a bicycle" from us.. :p
Cycling @ Pangkor is pretty much fun.. But I get full of myself having fun and forgot about the others. I went to fast and leave the group behind while cycling. Forgotten about Susan that haven't mastered the basic of cycling. Sorry, My bad. :p

bicycle gangsters

lots of bicycles

Susan was struggling riding the bicycle, and after a while we decided just to rent a motorbike to help Susan. Therefore, Amonk and Me went back to the hotel and rent a motorbike for RM25/day. I rode the motorbike and fetch Susan to the hotel. At the hotel backyard, we saw "BABI HUTAN". Lots of them, 2 adults Babi hutan, and 10 young babi hutan.

After that, I take a bicycle and went back to search for the other and saw them at a shore. then we took some picture together.

E-1

that day is ellen b'day..

After this we went back to the hotel for a while. Ask the uncle if we still have the time to ride banana boat but apparently we were too late. Therefore, we decided just to go back to the beach and have some fun.

Some of us were "attacked" by a tentacle. K, got the biggest injury from the tentacle.

Apostasy

gigantic jelly fish..

the sinking banana boat.. lol

We have BBQ at the night, and it was really really delicious. We had Fried Rice, Fish, Prawn, Crab, and Chicken.
I liked the ray fish the most, and the sambal.. uuuhh. it was very nice

Yinny and Yunny sponsored the BBQ fee.. Thx mommy, thx auntie.. lol

the fight for the last piece of BBQ chicken... :p

After BBQ we play games, sing some songs, and laugh to our hearts content

--------29 September 2009--------

Day 2 of the trip.

I wake up around 7.40 in the morning to realise that I did not need to take a bath at that morning coz we will be wet soon as we gonna play banana boat and snorkeling.
8.10... Didn't feel sleepy anymore. I decided just to go to the shore and enjoy the view. I sat there alone for about 10 minutes then look for some shells for another 10 minutes.

After that I went back to the hotel and eat breakfast of nasi lemak with the others.

After everyone finished the food, we took a boat to take us to the snorkeling spot. The boat is pretty fast, and the uncle that drove the boat lean the boat left and right to make it fun.. Oliva got very scared when the boat leaning left and right. I think she might have phobia of water. She hold Shanaynay's and Mollen's hand tight.
She almost cried and I don't really know what to do to comfort her. But after a while, I think she get used to the boat a bit. :)

at one spot.. the uncle went to take a short dive and show us a coral, a sea urchin, and two sea cucumber..

mega with the coral

Look at the sea cucumbers on his hands

Oliva and the sea urchin

We also got to see some stones that resemble animal shapes

Turtle

Ikan Boom Boom PAW

Crocodile

Then we went to snorkeling..

However it is not like how I expected it to be.. No corals, just fishes, and not so many types of fish either...

After snorkeling.. we went to coral island.. we rest there, play with the sand, play ball, play banana boat, and I did a little bit traveling on the island..

Arrive on the coral island

took a little bit of rest there

Novita on the Hammock

enjoying ourself

Banana boat

Play with the sand

I was kinda stuck up there for a minute,.. its rather difficult to go down compared to go up

I also went to climb up some other rocks and/or went over it trying to find any special view or nice spot.. but naaahhh.. nothing special hidden behind the rocks

After resting, take pictures, play banana boats, etc etc.. we went back to the hotel and take a bath

some of us event shampooed together outside the hotel room

Ellen...

Shanaynay

Me

After everyone finish cleaning up themselves and pack up their stuffs, we went to have lunch..

From the restaurant.. we went sightseeing the island and buy some seafood crackers..

Around 6.00 we went to the harbour and take ferry to lumut..

And at 6.30 I take the bus and drove we all back to sunway.. LOL

Taekwondo MAPCU

This is my 3rd time to join Taekwondo MAPCU competition..

I joined both poomsae and sparing competition
I know my chance of winning is very small as I'm up against black belts.
I wanted to train more before the MAPCU competition to be more prepared but there are a lot of stuffs that I need to do such as assignments, and other events.
The event was held in APIIT on 26 and 27 of September

---------SPARRING-----------

First day of the competition is Sparring.
Before the competition, I keep practicing my chopping kick. I'm planning on use that kick the most during the sparing competition. However, things are completely different during the competition. I was too nervous, my leg was so stiff. My chopping kick is just very slow and can't reach him. Even when I managed to land my leg on his head, it have no impact, and most probably I just hit the helmet.

I know my mistakes, I just moved backward and forward, not sideways. I kept kicking my opponent back and not his front body. When he guard his body, I don't have the idea how to score. I supposed to do fakes, I supposed to move faster, but my movement is stiff. I'm supposed to be fast, but I was slow at the time. The most fatal mistakes that I did is giving my opponent the distance to kick. I keep pulling back when he kicks. I supposed to do the opposite. MOVE IN. Therefore its gonna be his thigh or knee that hit me, and there will be no point nor impact. My guard is also a fatal mistakes that I did, I didn't guard my head properly, therefore my opponent manage to hit my neck twice and my face once. My neck and nose was swollen, and I got crack on my nose.

The score gap is very big, It was 3 to 11 or 3 to 12 if I'm not mistaken.
yea, I managed to score some points. But its pointless as I still lose the match.
I want to win, but there might be no more MAPCU for me, I'm going to graduate next semester.


--------POOMSAE-------

Next day is Poomsae competition.
The night before the competition, I did a little bit of extra training so that I can win.
At the day it self, there are 22 competitors in the poomsae of black belt category.
when I saw the other competitor doing their poomsae, I thought that sunway and monash have a good chance to win this. In my opinion their poomsae is not as good as sunway and monash people.

When it comes to my turn doing the poomsae, I did the same mistakes like before, NERVOUS.
Because of nervous, I don't have the speed and power in my movements as I think too much when I wanna move to the next step.

In the end the winners are
1. HELP university student (can't recall his name, but apparently this guy is sea games gold medalist @ 2003)
2. Yung lin
3. Wei Hong

the first winner scored 91 points, and both yung lin and wei hong scored 78 points.
I just scored 70 points, not good enough to win the game.



Note:
1. Special Thanks to Yung Lin. Thanks a lot for giving me advise when u coach me and for teaching me taegeuk 7 and 8 nicely. U r the man.
2. next post is gonna be.... PANGKOR!!!

I find this interesting, that is why I posted it here. ^^

REBEL TO PLAYBACK, LIP SYNC, or whatever it is called

During my last holiday at june, I spent most of my time in Pekanbaru, Indonesia

Almost every morning I watch various of Indonesia Music Shows. I only remember one of the shows name, Its called "dahsyat". A lot of band perform in this shows, however many of them performing Lip sync or using playback. WHAT THE HELL!!

Music is not just a performance, it is not just for shows, not only for enjoyment

It is a message, and also emotion. There is no way you can shows true emotion or send the right message of the song to your audience if you performing Lip Sync or using Playback.

Its better for them just to hear your music from Tape, CD, or Mp3 if you perform like that.

The following video I'm gonna shows you is a band (MUSE) which understand completely how emotion and message of music should be delivered, how can it be theatrical and not just ordinary shows. In those video, MUSE was asked to perform in the shows using playback or Lip Sync. However they know how to fight this kind of shows that wants playback performance.

MUSE-UPRISING

In this video, they supposed to perform "uprising" using playback. they retaliate in a funny way, they switch position with each other.
Matt: Vocal + Guitar + Keyboard > Drum +Backing Vocal
Chris: Bass + Backing Vocal > Keyboard + Guitar
Dom: Drum > Vocal + Bass


Dom even make joke of the emcee during the interview after the playback performance.


MUSE-NewBorn

This was years ago. They were asked to perform Playback, and again they switch position during the performance.


There are some of other performance where they somehow have to perform playback and they always retaliate in various ways. Other than switching position, they also sometimes give "the finger" to the camera or scream like hell. Matt even did a breakdance together with his manson guitar during a playback, LOL. You can search them on youtube.




SAY NO TO PLAYBACK, LIP SYNC or Whatever it is called
REBEL, RETALIATE.
Don't let those ignorance businessmen turn music into a mere showbiz.

BORDERLINE

The lyrics was written during my watch time at Taekwondo booth promotion. When I get to my house after class, I immediately grab my guitar and find the right tone for the song.

here is the lyrics

It is something that is out of my control

something that people keep holding on

But I still can't give up

And I Just won't stop

Yes I am confused

Why I just can't let it loose

Its nothing simple

And I don't want to gamble

Lets just make beautiful

memories

It might come to an end someday

but it'll be memories that we'll grateful for

make a beautiful

memories

I don't want there to be regret

leave no regret

Oh yea..

I know you can't find the word borderline inside the lyrics, but I choose it as the title because it gives a big picture of what is happening in this song. =D

BACK TO BLOGGING

Hmmm...

Few of my friends just start blogging, and this kinda fired me up to do so.

I'm not sure how should I start off my blog once again...

Long time ago I was thinking of posting "RIP e-1here.blogspot.com"

but, here I am. Back to blogging

anyway, few days ago I got MUSE new album

all songs are nice, especially MK Ultra, Resistance, and Unnatural Selection

However, I am a little bit disappointed as they are not as raw as they were before. I hope they will produce more songs that similar in style with "Dead Star", "Citizen Erased", "Hyper Music", and "Futurism". These are the type of song from MUSE that could make me head banging to the max.

. Moreover, Matt new guitar, the keytarcaster kinda upset me. A guitar without a string is not a guitar, when I saw Him with His keytarcaster I was like "What The Fuck".

Thats it. Just a little bit of update for now!!!.

I thought of something else to be posted up in the future, but I'm not sure which one should go first:

1. Lyrics of songs that I have written recently

2. Funny Videos from youtube

3. My Journey as a musician (planning on telling a little bit on how I started playing guitar, changing band from X-Numb, into a no name band, then vanishing acts, acoustic band with Johan cs, and another new band with some member from Antithesis)

4. Some Gadgets that I want/need.

5. Any suggestion???
