seriously quite a fail at washing cars. though i do it almost religiously each week, i almost always end putting too much soap.

the most embarrassing part of it all is the fact that i will end up wetting the front of my pants, looking like pissed myself.

i thus choose to wash the car in elusive corners of my estate, and/or at funny times. today was slightly different. as i spilled foam all over my feet. at least 5 cars drove past, with headlights on as it was about 7 pm. as i was washing off the soap, it started turning dark, leaving me to guess which parts i left wet.

ah well, i'll see more tomorrow. =)

after a close brush with a cult..

2009-09-06T17:54:00.001+08:00

i am glad those ppl haven't called me, and i hope they never will.

hahaha!

i really don't get vegan made videos. just saw one about the treatment of chicks; how they are mistreated.

no, seriously, how are u supposed to treat animals you're going to freaking eat?!

crazy asses. i want to eat a chicken, not make love to it!

there is a food chain no?

Blogged with the Flock Browser

i'm using flock!

2009-08-28T23:45:00.001+08:00

ok i'm using a new web browser called flock.

it has facebook chat constantly on at the bottom of my page, sends live feeds from fb and twitter on a sidebar. and i can blog as an when i want. it's as easy as trying and email on mac's mail.app.

these functions are cool and all, and the best part, it's based off the firefox browser, so all the addons i had from last time, and the shortcut keys, are exactly the same. the only thing that's got me questioning myself is: do i really use these functions that much anyway?

heck, i don't even blog that much, nor do i tweet. sure, i'm on facebook a lot. but then i use stumbleupon.

i guess a lot of times when we get technology, it's the massive availability of its functions that causes us to want to use it. tho i still don't see myself as massively tweeting/blogging in the near future. i have other means of documenting my life, it's called talking about it "real life".

cheers!

i'm at the Jewel Box watching my brother and some friends play music.

my beer's almost gone and my family is planning to call it a night.

as "Lucky" plays, ending the second set, i notice an old man getting cozy with a woman, of a high possibility of being from the mainland, obviously half his age.

i don't know if should be repulsed or... ...
yeah.
i am.

look what i found!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAA

2009-07-16T11:07:00.001+08:00

2009-06-10T15:34:00.002+08:00

i find myself in PJ once again..

And i'm blogging at some old town coffee joint near the hotel.

One word : SLACK!!!!!

=D

2009-06-07T04:11:00.001+08:00

wah seriously. ahahahah

it's 4 am.

i just got back.

it's really horrible when both your bass drum and your hihats are sliding away from you, and you seat is too low.

but i survived, and yes, i need a lot of work. ahhaha

more randomness in the morning

2009-05-31T08:54:00.002+08:00

i feel chilly this morning from being snatched out of bed and transfered almost immediately from my air-conditioned room to a car.

it is as if the collective fat on my body has turned to butter, leaving me cold, sluggish, and overall semi-solid. Butter goes well with bread tho. with myriad of different fillings as well!

Sorry for the graphic imagery.

Happy Sunday!

randomness once again.

2009-05-30T13:26:00.003+08:00

i was just thinking : just because someone tells you,
"hey! that's not weird, what you're doing. i do it to!"
doesn't make whatever whacked out shit you do any less weird,
it just makes for two weird people.

then again.

if you start forming a club of weird people, you might still be weird.
(just not in the club that you guys are members of.)

if you draw it even bigger, to the fact that "weirdness" is merely a matter of social perspective, whatever notion of strangeness becomes something subjective.

ok this is just degenerating in to pointless, irrelevant self-mind-screwing.

i think this whole post is redundant.

a test

2009-05-24T20:41:00.002+08:00

let's see how this works.

it's so freaking hot today.

it's not merely a day...

2009-05-22T17:54:00.001+08:00

it's a festival biach, and let it begin!!

=P

2009-05-17T12:45:00.001+08:00

2009-05-17T12:41:00.002+08:00

does this count as meaningful?

2009-05-17T02:42:00.004+08:00

believe it or not, i used to love climbing stuff.

i would really love climbing playground structures, just for the heck of it.

i think if i were fitter, i would seriously try free running.

i loved the feeling of jumping off somewhere high and landing, bending my knees so i wouldn't break something.

well, i did break something, but not intentionally, and for my ultimate benefit

but recent developments in my physique have left me grounded, in a sense.

so, then.

i can end this post by saying something pseudo-deep such as, "i would love to return to those days, to climb, to jump. the air, the speed of the fall, the freedom... ahh.. the joys of a younger version of me."

but that to me is ultimately some pretentious bull. seriously.

this post is just me remembering my past. i am merely stating a memory. there's no need to read too much into it, no need to deconstruct this discourse.

end of story.

=)

in other news, i am glad i was wrong, people still care. secular societies should stay secular. liberal societies should stay liberal. i'm also glad it has past, and i really hope no more backlash will ensue.

also, the catching of a dude is not a sign of success, it's a conclusion of a massive failure. i mean, he was living like a common villager for what, a year?

FAIL.

someday..

2009-05-14T15:05:00.000+08:00

i will blog something meanful.

someday.

2009-05-10T03:27:00.002+08:00

this is another video of me on drums.

i wanted to blog about something, but i forgot, so i'm just gonna post this up for now.

but the fact is...

i need to spend MUCH more time in front of the drum set practicing.

triplet triplet triplet.....

yes.

2009-05-07T01:13:00.003+08:00

joash will learn to play Just Might Be Ok by Lupe.

hi, my name is...

2009-04-30T07:18:00.004+08:00

i think right now more people have seen me on the djembe than on the drums.

well, while i play the djembe more, and honestly sometimes i prefer it, cause it's such a hassle to set it up, and comparatively a djembe is so much easier to cart down.

well, here's a video of me on drums!

I'M THE MOST IMPORTANT!! DON'T BOTHER ABOUT THE REST! =P

2009-04-27T16:01:00.002+08:00

some people really have to face the cold hard truth about their problems:

"Nobody cares."

i honestly don't think women are oppressed in Singapore, or at least most of them don't feel like they are. so i mean, where does that leave AWARE?

(more specifically, i think we are all oppressed together!)

haha!!

if i somehow offend anyone other than AWARE members, i deeply apologize. my straw poll on oppression consisted of mainly my mum, who heard me exclaim loudly when i was reading the papers one day as i sat on the dining table.

GAH!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT!!!

2009-04-24T12:37:00.003+08:00

I AM STRONG!!

(i broke that trying to the separate it from the t-shirt i'm wearing now. whoops.)

FAIL!

2009-04-14T15:38:00.004+08:00

for those who know, i had a really hard time doing my south asian studies response paper.
this was due mostly to the fact that the piece-of-shit-partner i got assigned to took too damn long to send me his paper, thus i was unable to do the peer response till the last minute.

well i got back my paper, but since all the other papers were in an unguarded pile, i just had to peer into his paper.

in doing so, i noticed a massive fail!

DUDE!!

what the hell man!! ahahah south asia? Singapore?! HAHAHA!

what an idiot, seriously. the fail doubled when i took a look at my own paper, which he copied from. the mentioned segment is below.

end result, douchebag's logic fail, and copying on microsoft word EPIC fail!

this kinda made my day actually.

my specifically, it made me laugh open in an almost empty hallway.

whoops.

cheers!

2009-04-08T22:56:00.002+08:00

not only is my room but to a larger extent my house seems much quieter.

it was a bit like december revisited. but only with a larger extent of slacking that i knew i wasn't supposed to allow myself.

hell it was a good week!

aside from the essay writing stress, which i am about to subject myself to AGAIN.

can't wait till the Aussie peeps get back man.

=D

on a separate note. i feel i really enjoy long night drives, be with alone or with company.

not cause i'm emo-ing, please, it's cause it gives me a good time to enjoy my music, and conversations.

anyway, here's more Aerowane videos!!

2009-03-21T21:53:00.002+08:00

i am still stumbling upon stuff to throw away as i seek to close a chapter of my life.

2009-03-07T12:23:00.002+08:00

ok before i say anything, let me make this clear, I LIKE THIS SONG.

with that said, to borrow an idea from Yuqin, that good composition ≠ good song writing.

seriously, look at the lyrics!!! FREAKING MELODRAMA LA!

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says, "son you can't stay here."
I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year."
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
'Cause you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move.

"The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved"

In other news, everyone is entitled to self-promotion, so here are a set of Aerowane videos.

"my personal fave"

2009-02-11T11:19:00.003+08:00

Man, I really don't like uniform groups.

the above is a mock form for the US army for "Hurt Feelings".

While I found this slightly hilarious, it is telling of a culture of "manliness" that is bred within those walls. This may be all an well for some mindset of toughness to be cultivated, it gets very stifling should you have problems.

In 2008, at least 128 soldiers committed suicide in the US army. Armies are never known for their transparency.

I guess it's not so easy to laugh now.

a mug's life

2009-01-04T19:45:00.005+08:00

if anyone remembers i used to have a brown mug for many years, which was broken recently.

in my desperate need for a tool to put my drinks in, i chose this fully functional but totally boring mug, which happened to be given free after buying lots of milk.
(which i love to drink.)

last week, in a raid to get my Godbrother a mug, i noticed that i had many mugs that i could choose from, which weren't free and boring.

to cut the long story short, i chose this huge-ass, or mouth mug, which seemed to work for me.

here is the other side of the mug.

my dad suggested i use one which he got on a gift exchange on the extreme left below. years of non-exercise, however made me think twice about attempting to lift it to drink, especially on those sleep-dazed stupors i will get now that school is restarting.

...
and the mugs lived daily in servitude to their masters..
...
the end.

well, happy new year to all! =)

I miss the beach.

2008-11-15T13:43:00.000+08:00

Well the semester is ending, and i hope i survive ( i think i just jinxed myself).

but i miss going to the beach to just chill, not swim, but maybe eat.

heh.

I guess the following places don't really like the beach very much.

2008-11-13T23:40:00.000+08:00

2008-11-05T10:31:00.000+08:00

MOTHER!!!! why you buy teddy bear shower curtain for us??????????

i know my brother had a teddy bear last time, but i didn't!

and that was like when he was what, 3? haha

i guess my mum doesn't really think we care that much about shower curtain design, which we don't, but this is freaking hilarious!

hahaha!

okok!!! i'll update!!

i just realized my grandmother nags on a series of maybe 3 topics, over series of about a month, then she changes. Very much like an announcement of the term.

I'm not complaining, just finding it quite hilarious. 2 months ago was the "Joash, don't eat to many potato chips and fries ok?" which is strange, cause seriously don't go walking around the house with a pack of chips consistently, I eat bread! (yes I am a carb addict.)

well. on the topic of bread, she just got a new catch phrase. this term's phrase is:

"Joash, don't eat overdue bread!!"

she comes by my place every sat, calling me at 9 am-ish, waking me up from the only day i have to sleep in to ask me what food i want ( i ALWAYS answer sleepily "anything"). when she gets here, she checks the bread, then proceeds to confiscate them to feed birds if they are near the expiry date.

hmmm did i mention i hate pigeons??
no-mental-acivity-eyed-flying-shits.

well, in the mean time, all i can do is wait till my grandma hears something new on the radio.

well. yeah. here you go! hahah!

school is still tiring but there are many distractions to my studying, stupid elven blood being the latest. ahaha maybe i'm just a distracted person.

ok here you go!

=)

2008-10-02T00:13:00.001+08:00

Wheeee! total distraction! me and singer ann totally wasting a night fooling with this.

anyway, a shoutout to my little sister michelle ("mui mui" right?)

Didn't post last time cause it was a sad post about 9/11. cheers!

essays are killing me.

2008-09-12T01:00:00.000+08:00

it's really scary how easily influenced we can be to do the most destructive and insane things.

a few hours ago, seven years ago, the world changed.

i guess we never really knew how momentous the event was when it happened, but now we see how far we've come.

i told you so.

2008-08-16T20:43:00.000+08:00

i have mentioned this a few times, but somehow i never got round to taking a picture as proof.

but it's true, don't take my word for it. don't ask me to explain how this thing works, cause i have no f-ing idea.

i don't need to make any sick jokes, cause this is gross enough as it is.

i think u can see my head and my phone in the reflection from the shiny paper.

seriously.

God bless our glorious nation.

There is always a in other news page, so here is a picture of an obviously non-local box of panadol.

(with that said, my computer is trying to correct the word 'panadol', and suggesting I change it to 'Panasonic'. Computer maker's obviously don't like pharmaceutical workers)

Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa

She hangs her head and cries in my shirt.
She must be hurt very badly.
Tell me what's making you sadly?
Open your door - don't hide in the dark.
You're lost in the dark - you can trust me.
'Cause you know that's how it must be.

Lisa - Lisa, sad Lisa - Lisa.

Her eyes like windows trickelin´rain
Upon the pain getting deeper.
Though my love wants to relieve her.
She walks alone from wall to wall.
Lost in her hall, she can't hear me.
Though I know she likes to be near me.

Lisa - Lisa, sad Lisa - Lisa.

She sits in a corner by the door.
There must be more I can tell her.
If she really wants me to help her.
I'll do what I can to show her the way.
And maybe one day I will free her.
Though I know no one can see her.

Lisa - Lisa, sad Lisa - Lisa.

erm.

2008-07-20T23:15:00.000+08:00

Perhaps i don't know much about girls, cause i don't happen to be one.

But could someone enlighten me as to how the below mentioned conversation could even take place?

I mean, people SHARE?!

this was found in Cineleisure B1; i don't know which is worse, the idea of the conversation, of the fact that a flagrant display of engrish is shown.

maybe only in Korea (this was outside a Korean dept store, which from outside, didn't sell any of the above-mentioned garments.)

another lower quality picture for viewing.

i see my wallet in the background. i need a new one.

yes.

more work related weirdness

2008-07-06T04:52:00.000+08:00

now this is a story not for the faint of heart.

i usually use the executive toilet at work. this is totally NOT a sign of status, they just leave the keys around for everyone to use.

well, in there there is only one cubicle, and it was taken up on this particular day. thus i had to use the public toilet. not that it affected me in any way.

at least not yet.

entered the stall, or whatever the hell u call the mini room with a toilet bowl, i notice a the scene described in the above-displayed picture.

i was hit with a question; which was worse, the fact those streaks was most likely to be someone's excrement, or the fact that there is some one as "boh-liao"* as to smear his excrement on the wall.

that, is a major question for the philosophers.

*BOH LIAO (Contributed by AA)

Brother Learns Something New, iBitch and Other Things.

2008-06-26T00:00:00.001+08:00

Something tragic happened on Monday.

I guess I've said it to many people already, and it's not getting any funnier.

so I'll just say this.

an ego was kinda badly bruised.

well, it was not the best 2 hours sitting there. but i guess we should be happy that no one was hurt.

physically that is.

i do have this so say to the people that took down our car number.

dudes, even if the number came out. u guys would have to share the prize money man. an we all know the numbers are not REALLY based on luck.

all the best anyway should you try.

=)

i would tell u the number, but i can't remember it.

me and the brother did decide to take a momento each with us (the broken plastic from the break lights of victim car), so as to remember what happened, since we're both relatively young drivers with a lot to learn. (so says dad.)

i got a flame, cause it had anime-style coolness!! it's gotta mean something man!!!!!!!

it was actually the only other piece that wasn't oily from the break fluid.

i did get a bit angry cause i had to lug my djembe to take a cab this afternoon to bugis, as i had band practice after drum lessons. but i had a makeshift lesson and now my djembe is tuned up and sounds real cool.

and did i mention jazz is a real bitch to learn?

everyone who knows me knows i have no fear of insects, and i hold a certian facination for beetles. They look like freaking little robots!
well, i did find this mini longlihorn beetle outside my door and i just had to fool around with it before i headed in, and toss it to the nearby bushes so it actually can continue with life.
for those who encounter these creatures and pick them up, MIND THE MANDIBLES! they look quite nasty.
i once caught one (much bigger than the recently caught one) in Cameron highlands, i put it in a plastic bag, and it chewed through in 30 minutes. i was so amused by it, i put 2 more just to see it chew through again.

In other news. No one really knows what i do at work right, except that i do part time admin for my dad. Well, specifically, i do construction, i am an appentice foreman.

erm, i am kidding. work gets boring. i was supposed to clean out the storage area, and i didn't want my friend dropping gauges on my head as he stacked them up.

sure beats the army helmet anyday!

=)

"how do you wake up every morning?" "painfully."

2008-06-23T08:44:00.000+08:00

my mom claims with me growing my hair out, I look sleepy all the time.

well, i find that she that her statement is true, but only to a superficial level;
due to the fact that I AM sleepy all the time.

I've been awake since 630am.

if you wonder what's wrong with that, see previous post.

ARGH.

2008-06-23T01:39:00.000+08:00

man. i'm awake and it's freaking 1.40 am! i'm like so gonna die tomorrow.

fack.

Death Of A Friend, Father's Day and a Mini-Butt

There was a period of time, about at least 10 years ago that SOMEHOW my mugs kept breaking every month.

I was greatly saddened, and felt that my family was trying to make me confused, so that I will never know which 1 was mine.

Then came the brown mug, and she has served me well in these 10 years.

she lost a battle with the chinese tea pot, and suffered a fatal jaw fracture.

I guess this is it my friend, rest in pieces. May you go on the better things. I only hope you don't become part of a toilet bowl or something. That would really stink for you.

In other news, on Father's Day my Dad tried to make us a hearty breakfast.

He tried to decorate out plates systematically so it would look like someone paid for it, but I obviously had other plans.

I had to do something to get myself awake!

I got him the Jakob Dylan solo album, which was quite disappointing actually.

Ah well, the audio-bibliophile in me took it from the car to add it to my song collection.

God knows when I'll actually hear it.

Aside from the fact that found a butt-shaped lychee, i realize i have really stubby fingers!
(i put the lychee back, the next day they were all gone. i wonder who actually ate it.)

hahahaha!

Randomness on Sunday

2008-06-09T00:02:00.001+08:00

this is my 300th post, and i'm posting crap.

i went down to St Hildas Sch this afternoon for service in Chapel of Christ the Redeemer.

i guess it was nice to walk the canteen of my old school, i still feel the sian-ness of going back to school man.. an still feel irritated when I see some teachers' faces on the roster.

(for those who know, F-ing Lee Kim Seng.)

I went to get a drink with my brother during the announcements part of the service. Then i took the liberty to browse through the stall headings, just to see if they have changed. I was also a bit hungry; I can't help it, I'm just me.

I couldn't help but notice this disturbing sight.

WTF is a WAFFE?!?!

HAHAHAHAHAH!

Ok here ends part 1 and onto part 2.

i don't know if i have spoken about the toad purse that is in my dad's car to anyone before.
it has been around for like years man. and i finally remember to take pictures of it for general public viewing.

this is the ONLY kind of toad i will touch.

i bloody hate slimy things.

i kill slimy things.

it was purchased in the Philippines by my dad at a tourist shop.

we used to have 2, but i don't know where the other one went.

it looks quite lifelike, but it actually feels just like leather.

Screw naruto, i got a real toad purse.

Sorry for grossing anyone out.

Cause there is but you,... something within you

Afterword:

I realise that the last mass of words looks like a grenade. It was supposed to be a smiley.
Blogger wouldn't let me format spacing.

I would like to think it's more like a pineapple. I like pineapples, they are delicious, especially those from Thailand.

My opinions on the Dark Continent are well known, but it goes to show if someone can put in so much effort to see something beautiful in something so, erm, complex; I should try it as well.

wednesday randomness.

2008-04-09T10:41:00.000+08:00

Hearing the radio while working in my pseudo-job; switching between 91.3 ( the ex-ah beng ch) and Class 95. More inclined to 91.3 for one main reason:

I F***ING HATE 80'S SYNTH-POP!

Hitting Hong Kong again tomorrow.

Going to smash my old laptop when i get back.

I wish could drive more.

Lots to buy, cash is lacking.

Thank you for your time.

A Monster Rises

2008-04-03T23:24:00.001+08:00

gone are the days when i would bitch about my sad state of my drum set.

a monster has risen.

the direct result of a window of opportunity opened, i give you:

the full arsenal includes, 2 snares, 6 toms and 6 cymbals.

with snares and floor toms on each side, versatility is a given; i really needed that.

i look on this with pride now.

my second freedom.

2008-04-01T00:52:00.000+08:00

no more will i have to trudge my way down to the irritating area that is Kg Ubi,

where pressure mounts as the days pass, and occasionally a certain instructor's gender comes into question. Looks SOMEWHAT like a man, but sounds like a woman, and nags like an old lady.

she/he was nice though, and helpful in my progress.

I'M FREE!!!

Hong Kong - Day 2 & 3

2008-03-24T21:35:00.002+08:00

Waking up in the morning is always painful, no matter which country you are in.
the super soft pillows and flashy neckroll made for a long time falling asleep.
still, i made it out to go to Tsing Yi, which is just a giant shopping centre.

nothing interesting, so no pictures.

We have breakfast beforehand, which was a dodgy looking beehoon stall with good standards as
usual, but i was too sleepy to take photos.

In Tsing Yi, they did have a large display of Easter Egg art that was done by a Japanese girl, and with descriptions written in Jap as well; so all you could do was admire it from afar.

Hong Kong people must have really itchy fingers.

With nothing really interesting, we made it down to Sham Sui Po, some some toy wholesaler street. Got my brother a weird vibrating Mario toy.

Heh heh heh.

Ate massive Beef Noodles soup, and forgot to take a picture again.

Dad landed, brother finished school, ate the Chee Choong Fun again. and then steamboat after.

Great tasting!

After dinner, back to brother's hall; jamming.

old photo, but guess i must have hit that pose sometime (i do not re-wear my shirts on consecutive days).

Took the bus back, and the idiot bus driver asked me to get off a stop earlier.
blinded by the bright lights of the street signs, i cursed his impatience and my inability to speak cantonese.

thankfully i found out first hand that many of them know English and are very helpful in giving directions, thus i got back rather quickly , at about 1145pm.
guess the streets are quite safe.

End of Day 2

Day 3 started off quite well, i guess. We planned to have Dim Sum with my brother and his friends, so it was later. I was hungry now, so i ate many cherry tomatoes and my mom bought the day before.

Still with a few hours to kill, mom, dad and me decided to walk around the streets, where the wet markets were, a rarity in Singapore.

I understand that some content may convert some people to veganism, but i guess it's always good to find out where your food comes from.

Veg and seafood included.

there were of course, some foodstuffs that we knew what they were exactly, yet failed to know what to do with them.

they do work quite fast i must say, this was taken 10 minutes after.

Hong Kong - Day 1

2008-03-18T14:10:00.002+08:00

Two days from the day i attained my freedom, 1 month after hitting perth, i was at it again.

Starting the journey, i wasn't really expecting anything at all, maybe i'm becoming spoilt. But i packed, checked in and trudged to the waiting area of the Cathay Pacific flight, which was PRC OVERloaded (f**k.). Not before I almost died walking about 2km to meet my mom for breakfast in T3 from T1. And back.

My backpack was a bit of a hassle. I was asked to bring a squash racquet from home. It couldn't fit my luggage, so it was stuffed, handle sticking out in my backpack, a potential catalyst for injury when combined with my clumsy, waddling self.

On board, i could not help to notice that they had a channel which displays an utterly pointless but intriguing view of the bottom of the plane. So take off and landing proved more entertaining that just an irritating ear-popping experience. That being said, the channel proved blinding to watch during the flight, as the clouds, sunlight and reflective body of the plane joined to create an amazingly bright white screen.

Met my mom in the airport again, cleared customs, shipped off the Airport Express to Kowloon, free shuttle bus service to the hotel in the Jordan area. Checked in, everything settled. I was hungry. I demanded food.
This led her to bring me just two steps from the lobby of the hotel room, to get the most amazing Chee Choong Fun ever.

The peanut sauce is AMAZING!

It was about that time that my brother reached us from the HKU hall he was staying at, and this proceeded to bring me around the area a bit. But it was not long before dinner was due.

1st real meal: Roasted duck and pork rice. Compared to the first meal i had in perth, which was some sort of roasted chicken with rice, this was 4 bucks cheaper, and 10 times nicer. After dinner, brother and me split with mom to head to his hall and subsequently Lan Kwai Fong.

Idiot brother made us get off 2 early. You've been there what, 3 months?! I wasn't so peeved about the walking, I mean, it wasn't like I haven't done that in the morning. The air was cool, so no problem. What pissed me off was the sheer height that was visible from the pathway we were walking on. I'm talking concrete paths unsupported by pillars, tops of trees and the 16th story of nearby buildings below your feet. Sure I felt safe, safe enough to wish i brought a parachute. Above is an eye-level photograph.
My brother states that all of Hong Kong is like that. For one i didn't see valleys from my hotel room window, so I think he was just trying to be reassuring.

Being told that his hall had a band room, i bought a pair of sticks all ready to do what i haven't done in awhile; spend some quality time jamming with my brother.

I would like to say that the scene was so moving that someone was almost moved to tears, but that's just his singing face.

A good hour of jamming down, we quite easily pried my brother's roomie from this work to Lan Kwai Fong, some pub area in the Central district. Afterwhich we heard the from other people that a bar had free drinks for men till 11pm. Being only about 930pm, the prospect suggested, led many from the hall area (mostly Americans, Canadians and Europeans should i add) , trudging down, hoping to return gleeful when the night ended.

One free drink later onto another bar, the thought of spending the night drinking and returning rip-roaring drunk to the hotel room didn't seem like and attractive one, even with the great company, so my brother and me left to eat. He had promised me at the start of the night to bring me to eat the "BEST burgers ever". I am excited.

For once in a long time, he did not disappoint. It was the stuff of fantasy, with hand-made patties, toasted buns, the works.

Things got messier than so claimed by Carls Jr., simplier, but way more tasty. Just tomatoes, lettuce, onions and mayo, perfect.

The Chilli Cheese Fries, exquisite.

Headed back to the hotel after that rather easily. Thus ended my first day, and started my trip in the land of cheap and good food, endless sights of the fusion of past present and future, and proud public displays of Engrish.

i finally made it!

2008-03-14T10:16:00.001+08:00

long overdue, but yeah.

"i don't wanna take what you can give, i would rather starve than eat you bread."

"everything has changed, absolutely nothing's changed."

meanwhile in whiteboardville....

2008-02-23T11:29:00.001+08:00

All is well! the jubilant party makes merry in the forest of joy. As they rejoice, it seems even nature rejoices with them!

Or so it seems.. The monster looms ahead in the distance, as it lets out a bloodcurdling roar!

What happens next is too gory for graphic display...

Just one more party made victims!

History Continued

2008-02-10T01:30:00.000+08:00

From the time I started writing this journal on my history, I have realised this.
In the years from which i was birthed, the dual-empire world where you had to take a side watched one side crumble, and the ideology of the dominant spreading over it's remains; a Pax Americana would rise.
The notion of a black an white world shattered and showed the reality of the different shades of colour, different shades of hate.
But a further analysis would show that earth-shattering events will always take place, shifting the tracks of which the global train runs on unceasingly. The past is always seemed better as the suffering of the present is always more vivid.

i begin again.

less thoughts make for a happier joash.

i am a man of small demands,

let me come out during the evenings,

and leave me alone to read.

the leech once again is unrelenting.

oh let January pass!

2008-01-13T18:33:00.000+08:00

the sky bleeds black today,
groans and bellows.

a beginning indeed,
a life reviewed.

my god.

i am shocked into silence.

2008-01-01T20:39:00.000+08:00

It has come to this, I'm finally going back to camp.

best days of 2007 came to me in the year's final struggle before it's death.
i watched in excitement as the she trashed, then fell silent.

Flashes of lights in the sky heralds a new birth.

2007 was a year that left a bitter taste in my mouth, 2008 will be one of change.
The thought of it leaves me dizzy with excitement.

With that said, a year is a year, moved on by the repeated gradual fading of light to dark, and dark to light.
There is no physical indication of a start or a finish, nor a mark that separates the months from days, or hours and seconds.

The gears will spin on mindlessly, and no one can do anything to stop it.

There is Nothing New Under the Sun.

First change to occur:
Fobble ChatterBox gives way to Cbox. (Good riddance bitch!)

Happy New Year people.

"If I tell you I'm strong will you play along?
Will you see I'm as insecure as anybody else?"

DIGGING A DITCH

Run to your dreaming, when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off the phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I’m old
Digging a ditch my story’s told

Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise
Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Where all these questions spinnin' around in my head will die
Will die
Will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Digging a ditch for when I’m through
Digging this ditch I’m digging for you

Where all these disappointments that grow angry out of me will die
Where all these habits that hold heavy on my heart will die

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Not what you should be or what you’ve become
Just get heavy on with digging your ditch
Cause I’m

Digging a ditch where madness gives a bit
Digging a ditch where silence lives
Where all these troubles weigh down on me will rise
Will rise
Will rise
Will rise

Run to your dreaming when you’re alone
Unplug the TV and turn off your phone
Get heavy on with digging your ditch

how will it be like to just run riot?

30,000 people walking down the street,

a multi-coloured sea of locusts,

flames where eyeballs used to dwell.

authority dies amidst kicks and screams.

sweet raspy guitar rocks riffs for sound track.

dumb dreams,
i walk home in the thick wet midafternoon sun

the gig really drained me

but this song made me feel much better.

Ants Marching

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

5 and a half months left.
jamming more and more.
songs to learn.
pressure.

it stirs in me happiness, a purpose.
but not as much as i would like.

as much as i have been going out,
i miss one thing badly;

"i'll leave you some soup. warm it up and drink it when u get back."

"Do you remember the time I knew a Girl From Mars?"

2007-08-10T23:02:00.000+08:00

ah well.

i'm the juggernaut, b*tch!

most of you would realize that i have been frequenting a jamming studio in simei recently,
mostly due to neighbours with super sensitive ears & retire to bed at 7 pm.

so i have to pay cash to play when i have all the equipment at home.
sucks.
(got pissed and drew on my drumskins, see previous post)

it's all well & good tho, i do get to try double pedals and stuff.

but one thing that i find amazing is the immense strength of the people that play the drums there..

the things that look like hay in the picture are parts of a broken drumstick.
notice how there is dust of a identical colour tone.

the drummer who did this didn't just break a stick,
he SHATTERED it.

W.....T.....H.....

2007-08-04T02:01:00.000+08:00

okok.. here's an update! i went shopping for drum stuff today!

cymbal crown (didn't fit) *sob*
snare attachment to fit cowbell an tambourine ( yay!)
practice pad that can be strapped to my knee (double yay!)

my new almost complete drumset!

wanted 2 take a picture of the practice pad, but bro took back his phone,
so no more camera.
