2010

I'm absolutely sure that everyone will update their blogs today or yesterday talking about the upcoming/ongoing new year, that is unless they didn't forget their blog's URL in the first place. From there, they will choose a topic from a couple of options. These are:

1. A recap of 2010

2. Words of wisdom for the upcoming year

3. List resolutions just to show people that they will change TOMORROW, but not today.

4. Just a simple happy new year wish. For the Chinese, they will continue their never-ending quest for money by inserting monetary themes in their holiday greetings like "HUAT AH!!"... which roughly translates to ... earning riches?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Since I have no words of wisdom (yet), no greetings cause I'm indifferent to whatever year it is, no resolutions or whatsoever, I'm going with the recaps in no chronological order. One of the proudest thing I did this year was to win around 600+ bucks up in Genting. This was around June together with Raymond, Tony and the others. Isn't it weird? Last new year's eve I went up to Genting and came back down with a loss, swearing never to visit that gambling den ever again. And when I did, I kept winning. No losses recorded this year, ooh yeah! Still, the score is not yet settled, Uncle Lim. I'ma hunt back my losses last year. Swords will clash, chips will be stacked, lives and friendships ruined until you give me back mah monayyyyyyyyyyy!

Hmm, what else happened? Sam becoming a blues purist is kinda of like a big thing too. We don't click as well since I'm less knowledgeable in this whole blues mumbo jumbo. I was once a purist too but never got as deep as where Sam is right now. Everything is still fine though, I respect the path he's treading in becoming a better guitar player, albeit it's a different path from mine.

Speaking of guitars, I've been experiencing yet another stagnation in my playing. Granted, I think I've improved. Thanks to Paul Gilbert, I've been able to lock in to the groove easier but it's really situational. Sometimes, the feel just isn't there. Learnt a lot of new phrasing ideas from PG as well as Guthrie Govan. Sam influenced me into playing low gain on a Strat too, which really makes individual notes shine much more. Technique wise, I'm still stuck there. Listening to Kanye West's new album right now doesn't really help too -_-




OH YEAH, I've discovered reddit.com this year and I can tell you only this, this thing is like crack! The community is awesome and sometimes post insightful reads on a variety of topics. I honestly felt like I'm ahead of everybody in terms of the latest memes, smack talks and such. Makes me feel nice about myself when I have friends referencing some memes and quotes that I've read months ago. HAHA! Even shed some tears on a couple of stuff they posted, goddamnit.

I'm also really glad I got closer to my current course mates in APIIT(University College). They're really great people and I hope for nothing but the best for them. Had a lot of laughs with them. I've never regretted changing courses halfway through the semester, these guys really made my decision worth its while. Happy new year to you muhfuckas.



Paul's Fuzz Universe dropped around August. I prefer SFBADR but this one trails closely behind. Mostly because of that droning Todd Rundgren cover and the lack of slow songs like I Cannot Tell a Lie, Still Have That Other Girl on the album. It's still good nevertheless! Favorite tracks from the albums are Bach Partita in Dm, Plastic Dracula and Propeller. I guess he'll be busy with Mr. Big in 2011 but I'm really hoping for another vocal album from PG. WE NEED SONGS LIKE MR. SPOCK!

There's also this thing... but it ended well, I'm really glad about it :)

I guess that's it, the biggest things this year. There are a couple more but the ones I mentioned are those that really made an impact in my life this year. One of my biggest regrets is saying that the new Mr Big album sucks but GODDAMN IT GROWS ON YOU! I would've like to see more pop-rock numbers on this album though... What's better than to end this post with a Paul Gilbert song? This is Keep On Keeping On

If I could give advice
Here's what I'd say
It's just the same shit
On a different day
So just keep movin'
And you'll find your way
To be strong
You got to keep on keepin' on

And from emigilbert.blogspot.com......

Here is PG "injecting" his Cherry Red Fireman with his latest signature DiMarzio Injector pickups. OMG YOU ARE SO FUNNY PAUL <3 <3

Fuck it, I really wanna meet him so so bad :( Not to talk about guitar, just life in general..... :(:(

Fuck This Shit

What is wrong with people nowadays? They complain and complain about others but fail to see that the fucking face they’re staring at in the mirror is doing the same shit they’ve been complaining about in the first place.

The one thing that gets on my nerves these days is that the pot calling the kettle black. And they’re so ignorant towards their own attitude. Please, fucking look at yourself before complaining. I just don’t understand this, it doesn’t take much to realize the fact of the matter is you’re just as annoying.

Think about it, if you’ve realized it then please, you don’t have to be so vocal or take drastic AND despicable measures. No one ever complained about you doing the same thing since the dawn of time. Now you think you have the right to complain? How can one person be so inconsiderate is beyond my comprehension.

Since I’m bitching like fuck here, let me just address another issue. Why is it that some people I know are always boasting and admitting something that is so shameful? You don’t read and you love the fact that you don’t read? At least show some remorse or regret towards the matter, not laughing it away and think that it’s the coolest thing since Paul Gilbert. That is just one example, there are way more shit even worse than this.

Sigh, I’m done. Maybe it’s just a difference of perception. Maybe my principles in life don’t apply to theirs. Hopefully they’re not as ignorant as I think they are.

I'm Awake I'm Awake

Anyone still reading this shit?

Contributions to the Human Race

As a part of my contributions to the human race, I'd like to share with you these words of wisdom I've just read 1 minute ago. Actually wanted to post it in facebook but the fear of having relatives read this brought me to the conclusion to come right here to post it.

"If you masturbate with both hands, that's a threesome."


Rejoice my readers, for you have been enlightened once again, here!

Holyday

Hmm so what's been up lately. I had to borrow money from a friend just to buy the Starcraft II CD. How sad is that? Apparently my bank account got disabled cause I didn't do any transaction with it for too long. I guess this is part of growing up, eh? Finding out that banks are out to fuck with your money any way they can, and justifying it by saying it's for freeing up slots in their database for other people. A make believe slot, dammit.

I was so stoked on playing 1v1s but I found out that I'm play worse than those noobs. Can't even get my basic build orders right, can't macro well enough. Guess I'll have to stick to team matches for now :(

It is a well known fact that I like to set objectives that I'm not gonna accomplish for my holidays. Let's see... before it all began I wanted to learn Paul's Bach Partita in Dm. Learn some ukelele songs and getting one ukelele myself. Learn some fingerpicking songs.. change my sleeping time. Eat well, stay healthy.. And I've accomplished none of that.

I did change my sleeping time but then it all fucks up when Starcraft came. As for the Bach song, I only learnt 25% of it, and it's the easy part -_- ukelele and fingerpicking was not practiced at all this holiday and there's only 2 weeks left till the next semester starts.

As usual, I'd like to justify my uninspired-ness with my rig at home. A 5 year old Squier Strat that some chinese dude con me to buy at Bentley, along with a Roland Cube 15. Fucking sucks la the tone. I tampered with the knobs here and there but the tone still sucks. It's so... dead. Kinda miss my friend's Marshall at KL which kinda belongs to me since he never plays it. Oh shit, he might be moving out soon. HOW AM I GONNA PLAY WHEN HE'S GONE?! So many things to buy, so little money. When can I get my Vox amp? When can I get my Paul Gilbert pedals? Coily cable? DiMarzio single coil pickup? White reversed Ibanez? New tone knobs for fucks sake?!?!! NEW STRINGS?! JESUS, I'VE BEEN USING THE SAME STRINGS FOR 2 fucking years?!

Anyway, I'm convinced that Guthrie Govan is the Jesus of guitar. Phrasing, note choice, technique.. whatever shit you want, he'll do it.

Oiling Up

Goddamnit I hate it when korean girl groups all oil up their legs during live performances. Makes them so unbelievably sexy. Can't a man just live his life without all these pesky temptations?

Anyway, I'm over my Hyuna obsession already. Maybe it's cause she didn't oil up her legs enough. Not shiny enough. And I thought those koreans are all out of people to recruit since the new groups they're churning out are all ugly like they just stopped their evolution at the frog stage. Seriously, why be an idol when you're not hot?! How are you gonna satisfy my fantasies?!

So the latest in thing is supposed to be Rainbow. Not the weird rainbow video making rounds on youtube right now -_-

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SLIGHT DETOUR

I just have to talk about the rainbow video above. When I first saw it I was laughing like I was on crack for the last 23 years. Very fucking ridiculous. But then it dawned on me. This guy is just.. getting an orgasm by looking at the double rainbow? Mother Nature having sex with him in the wild? It turned weird. I don't know whether to laugh or admire this guy. He's clearly obtaining true happiness just from this.. discovery. Or maybe he's on drugs. People laugh at him but he shrugs it off cause the real happy man is him. He's happy for himself. Laugh at him all you want, he clearly does not give a fuck!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


They're oiled up nicely, boasting a number of 7 members and have a couple of hot looking ones. phoooooey! Their comeback song is quite catchy too, beats Gossip Girl. That song is just fucking atrocious. Here's the video.



Sometimes, I just wonder how it feels like to be in these girls' shoes. Selling sex when they're even barely legal. Granted, some of them are already above 18 but there are still a handful of them thrusting hips all over the country below 18. How do you handle that shit? All those uncles giving you the shit eating grin when you're performing. It's gotta be different when you're an idol, right? I probably on behalf on those average joes out there when I say we all just wanna fuck you. Left and right, in the toilet, by the dumpster, in our minds. You name it, we'll be there, getting ready to restore population with some good ol fashioned fuckin.

On another note, talking about oiling up always reminds me of this video. Embedding disabled so please click the link if you're interested enough. And I guarandamntee it's gonna be worth that one click. Oh yeah, gotta turn up the volume for this one.
