DORMANT...FOR NOW...

Exams just ended. I think I screwed-up Maths. Fuck that. I'll still get that scholarship no matter what. I have to.

With free time on my hand, first thing to do as always is to meet up with Pradip and Fadhil.

Okay guys, I know I was supposed to meet with you guys at 10 a.m. Sorry for waking up at 10.30 and arriving only at 11.15.

Decided to go to Bugis. Getting sick of town, Orchard, Plaza Singapura and anything remotely related to that area. Had brunch or whatever you wanna call it at KFC (of all places...). Slacked there for about an hour. Went upstairs and guess what? It was freakin' pouring!! Thank god we didn't go to Sentosa. We could have gotten freakin drenched in the middle of Tanjung beach.

Walked around for a while. Then we decided to make a mad dash to Bugis Village. Walked around over there. Stood in front of the Consex shop looking at the display. I know it sounds kinda sick, but it was fun(ny). Dude...whatever they had in there was sick. Never am I going in there.

After that, we got REALLY bored. So, of all places, we went to Sim Lim Square. Fadhil needed a 2.0 GB memory stick for his beloved PSP(yes I said beloved) and Pradip needed an external HD with firewire capability and Mac compatibility. Walked around the whole of Sim Lim Square and like we always do, we ask questions but don't actually get anything.

After THAT, we went to BK at Burlington (I don't know know and don't care whatever the name of the place is) to sit talk, reminisce and remember. Spent 2 hours there doing practically nothing except that.

When we finally decided to leave for home, it was raining so fuckin' heavy, I thought it was night already. No umbrellas or shit, what do the 3 of us do? As always, GO CRAZY!!!!

We ran all the way to Bugis Junction in the pouring rain. Talk about showers...TRIED to dry ourselves out at the Bugis Junction carpark, but as you can see from my caps, that attempt bore no fruit.

Check this out...

Cold and wet in the middle of a parking lot...Crazy fun

Now, I've got to get a little shut-eye because tomorrow I'll be back at Anderson celebrating with my friends and teachers...

ECHOES OF AN ADDICTED FOOL

Exams start tomorrow...Can't believe I'm just lazing around at home. But I did study though. However it's not in your conventional manner. I've got like a whole wall in my room which is a mirror. It's actually my wardrobe cupboard. So taking a leaf out of one of the many tactics of studying in Anderson, I decided to scribble all my notes on my mirrors, with a whiteboard marker of course. Now no matter how much I lie or laze around in my room, I have to study as my bed now faces all my Marketing notes. All my diagrams and processes now accompany me to sleep and wake me up.

Like I said before, I'm actually starting to write lyrics. Usually this is a Fadhil thing (he is the lead singer; his blog actually has a few on show), but since I had the time...

Echoes Of An Addicted Fool

Verse 1:
YOU!!
Took me in and spat me out
Turned your back against
The only one you ever knew

YOU!!
Destroyed from within
Took all that I had
And threw it all away

Pre-chorus:
What I feel can't be real
What I see can't be true
This thoughts they eat at me
This body needs you

Chorus:
Look into my eyes
See the pain I feel
Look into my mind
Feel this torture within

All that I am is gone
Lost in thoghts of you
From deep down inside
This pain will echo through

Verse 2:
YOU!!
Were everything I ever wanted
All that I need
I found in you

You!!
Are all that I hate
The poison that kills
The evil that is you

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)

Bridge:
Now, I stand here shivering
Addicted to the thought of you
Feelings of endless hate
Yet my body still longs for you

(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)

I know it sounds weird, but that's kinda what you get when you just read lyrics out. But for music, I'm gonna have to pull the band back in together which is going to be a bit hard to do. FYI: this is a screamo/metal song a la Underoath or Bullet For My Valentine so you actually scream "YOU!!". It's not just a form of expression.

Hey, wait a minute...

"It's not just a form of expression"

Sounds cool...

ALL THESE THINGS INSIDE OF ME...

An epiphany rarely happens, but I think I got hit by one. Thanks Bootlicker, whoever you are, for I have realised where to place all my rage and anger. No longer shall I place my rage into the words I write or the weights I lift. I'll place it into the thing I love the most, my music.






Talking about music, I've been stumbling on a lot of great bands recently. Alot of emo-core and screamo bands seem to be rising up. Alexisonfire is one. I managed to only hear a couple of their songs. They sound great. More screaming than most screamo bands but their riffs are quite good. Underoath is another one. Great crunching vocals and tight melodies.




One last thing. Take time everyday to remember, the lives of those who leave this Earth for no rhyme or reason., caught in the unforgiving curse that is war. I don't support militant groups nor do I support politicians who murder civilians for their own selfish reasons. I don't know when the fighting will end, but what I do know is that it won't be stopping soon...

War Is Not A Product Of Violence
It Is The Unforgiving Product Of Peace
