I'll make this a quick one. Spent it in Port Dickson with a couple of extremely random friends for the Tiesto thing.       .. But that's where it's fun.  My mum came down to Port Dickson, not only because for a nice dinner with my dad, and with a ridiculously looking -me- .. in shorts and all in a restaurant.         But both my dad and my mum were celebrating Mother's Day, past the stroke of midnight........ at the 2 Days of Freedom when DJ Tiesto got on stage.  BLAH. Happening gila.         .. Memang dosa.  But whatever it is, happy mother's day XDDDDDDDDDDDD http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1213/Happy_Belated_Mothers_Day Sun, 11 May 2008 16:05:00 -0000 Not Another One..

I'm feeling nausea from saying that word.. ugh... 4wd from malaysia, again?  It's a 1.5cc engine..Bet it's going to sound like a diesel and gonna waste more petrol ...

Mood: Blur Listening To: D'Cuzzy - Ai Phia After uploading a shitload sized videos (all snippets of Six String Samurais), I really did miss the good old times. Not only playing music with the band, but music itself, and the people I've played with, the people I've met, and the things I've learnt. First up, without him, I'd be useless in the guitar, and I would've chopped up my guitars to start a bonfire by now.  Huge thanks to Kelvyn Yeang, for being both my mentor, and friend, who's always expanding his knowledge regarding music, coming up with odd and new styles .. I admire him a lot, it's because .. Well, he's one of those people who will never stop in doing and trying to achieve something. And Ocean of Fire is going back into progressive metal, I heard!  And it's going to be released!  YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Secondly, members of Six String Samurais; Ying Kit, Joshua, Roy and Moe.. Guys, you all made me realise that music isn't about written rules on a *.pdf file, but music... http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1211/A_Couple_of_Thank_Yous.

Mood: -_- Listening To: MSN Beeps If I was sadistic enough, I would slit my wrists and watch myself die slowly and laugh hysterically. 2nd day of mid terms is today, and it was Taxation.  Only 2 questions came out, and were fucked up easy, but you know what?  The last question was based on the latest chapter..and later did I notice, I missed out on it because I "hid" it somewhere in my file -_- ONLY IF I DIDN'T FUCKING MISS OUT ONE DAMNED FUCKING CHAPTER.  7 MARKS OUT OF 30 MARKS GONE LA KEONG KAN.

Mood: XD Listening To: Top Gear Interesting little thing, isn't it?  You can read more about it through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandenbrink_Carver" target="_blank">wikipedia</a> .. Now it's called as a Carver, when it was previously known as a Vandenbrink.  I know that there were cars that has only 3 wheels and all, but this is seriously interesting.  The whole thing tilts sideways up to 45 degrees depending on how aggressive you are behind the wheel.  If you're soft and relaxed, it wouldn't even tilt at all. And.. my, this makes me miss the times on the bike.. XD I want XD 22,500 pounds.. hmmm ..

Mood: XD Listening To: Top Gear When we start driving, we wouldn't know how oversteer and understeer works, and how it is eventually applied to drifting and all that car component wrecking stunts. Therefore, I was watching Top Gear, and they have simplified on how oversteer and understeer really works! Would love to share it with you all: Enjoy LOL http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1208/To_Oversteer_And_Understeer.. Wed, 23 Apr 2008 18:35:00 -0000 The Customer Care Service That Does Not Care. Mood: Blur Listening To: Beepings in the library I feel awkward sharing the same table with another guy who's playing some MMORPG thing in the library, but then again, we don't have other power sockets to leech on when it comes to power supply. Just about 2 weeks ago, I sent my laptop in to the HP Service Centre because I mysteriously burnt my BIOS definitely not due to my..heavy downloads.  My RAM is still intact (at least they didn't swap it with a 1GB one or something).  All of my files are still unmoved, especially my treasured 8 series of Top Gear. But what is the problem? The HP Customer <s>Crap</s> Care Service: <ul><li>Forgetting to forward my request to the engineer. I called the customer care centre at 8.30am, on the 22nd of April 2008, and I submitted my invoice/receipt's number to whoever it is on the phone.  Firstly, I think he was drunk - he spoke with a voice like Louis Armstrong.  I had to make him repeat himself a few more times before I could even get a bloody clear s... http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1207/The_Customer_Care_Service_That_Does_Not_Care.

Mood: Tired + Sick Listening To: Nothing       Whenever I sleep, I hear those melodious sounds.. Accompanied by the changes of time signatures, and tempos. Sound weird, but that's what I hear these days.  Not dreams, but blank images with random songs by Dream Theater.  I think I'm starting to lose it.  It's like it as some hypnotic effect on me.  Probably through another one of those regression therapies. But besides all that, I'm on the journey of revamping some of the things I have, after getting the things I want to get.  The first thing that'll help me out would be the Line6 TonePort UX1.  That will be very interesting.  Because for the sound I have for rhythm, is not really that satisfying.  It's mean to back another guitarist up, on a Heavy Metal song without lead riffs. Guess it's set in a way to support, than to lead?  It's a good thing, because it takes teamwork to make a song sound.. like a song.  But then again... http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1205/The_Need_For_Sound. Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:09:00 -0000 Music Appreciation. Mood: Tired Listening To: Daft Punk - Aerodynamite       Usually, when it comes to stuff I've never listen to, I'd usually say: "I'm not a fan of ______________" Which is the wrong term, after being in touch with music for quite a while.  Now that I've had a slight taste of how the music industry is like, it's more to like: "I've never heard of _____" That's a proper term.  And I find myself wanting to look for more materials, musicians, genres, and melodies to experiement with these days.  Besides that, there's the study of polyrhythms that I've never had the chance to go through.  In fact, I'm getting a taste of polyrhythms through this song by Daft Punk. And yes, Daft Punk.  I've never really listened to them before, but it's through these experimental artists that you learn how to mess around with new effects to make a song sound different compared to the rest which are being produced. Other than that, I don't know. Where exactly am I heading ... http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1204/Music_Appreciation. Wed, 16 Apr 2008 06:50:00 -0000 Another Change of Season. Mood: Tired Listening To: Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons.       It's interesting to go through certain stages of life.  Currently, I think I'm at a point where I'm enjoying life in a very sadistic way? My partners at Starbucks can't seem to understand my enthusiasm towards work, and whatever I do. Sometimes I wonder how is it possible, myself? There's The Secret, but then again, it's all about the mind. Currently, I'm working during closing hours in Starbucks, and it's no joke to try and juggle my schedule.  I don't even see the faces of my housemates/ex-gf anymore when I go home.  Since my laptop's at the HP Service Centre because I either blew the RAM or motherboard's BIOS, I only relax at home with my iPod and what's left of it. And imagine, having speakers with a subwoofer, but an 320 x 480 resolution based screen just to watch Top Gear. Very simple, and homely.  I'll post a picture to that when I get the laptop back.  Should be gett... http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1203/Another_Change_of_Season.

Mood: Tired Listening To: Bersama guitar nonsense I've never written a solo like this before.  It's simple, melodious, and it sounds wicked at parts.  I finally managed to be one with an analogue instrument itself to make it speak my soul, feelings and emotions out for a short period, I guess? I do dig it, but it needs more work.  Somehow, as nearly perfect as it sounds, there can be more things that can be added to.. make it sound tighter? ... ???? Questions, questions.  I'll hit the recording studio soon, and see what else I can come up with.  After all, recording along with the vocals is a better idea.  More ideas to come up with, and at least I would have an overall view about how the theme for that certain section of the song is supposed to be. Ooh. I met Nick Lee!  Huhuhu.  He's simply amazing.  I would want to watch him master Iz's EP, and soon, Kelvyn's other projects.  He hasn't met up with Kelvyn before, but he has heard about him be... http://glacius.multiply.com/journal/item/1201/Of_Music_And_Guitars.

But now, it's the only time we're able to talk.. So it's good for the both of us.  She said she might regret letting me go. ... But I have a life.  Either you get on, or off.  :) Besides, now that I have a part time job, I'll be less free.. In fact, I don't even have time for myself.  It would be unfair to her when I can't be there and all.  It would be unfair to me if whatever she does would hurt me silently. It's unfair for us to be together.  But this break shall judge our fate of being together. God.  Class tomorrow.  What a time to try an odd drink in Starbucks.. -_-...

I'm not an mp3 player freak, nor am I an owner of Apple/Mac products. .. Until now. The iPod Tocuh was released somewhere in September 2007, and I never admired it at first. But I ended getting it as a "desperate gift" (long story) in KL during my Christmas shopping with my family. My previous mp3 player, the Zen Neeon, had only 512mbs, 32 hours of playback time, a radio, voice recorder (requires a mic, I think?), has 3 buttons and an irritating 2 way scoller. There was a few reasons why I switched: --- . The small space for mp3s, especially when I wanted to flood it with my new-found favourite, Dream Theater mp3s. . The scroller. You don't expect me to scroll through 300 files when the screen shows only 3 files per screen/page. . It was too soft (now that I know how loud the iPod can get..) --- But there was a few reasons that I refused to change: --- . The battery life of the Zen is definitely longer per charge. . Volume control ... http://glacius.multiply.com/reviews/item/86 Thu, 3 Jan 2008 12:41:25 -0000 [Survey] Stuff. 1.Your mom calls you? : Jean Louis..

Of course by the time I wanted to record the solos, I ran out of energy and I honestly wanted to complete the song. So that would explain the last chorus' messy solos .. 1st and 3rd solo composed by Ying Kit .. well, part of it la.. 1st one is mostly what i can remember..3rd solo would be the starting of it and the end of it.. haha. 2nd solo ... is.. :) ..
