I just changed a tyre last night in the rain. No joke man. And it's been raing everyday! What a way to waste away the week while the office is close. Damn it! Can't even ride.
Check this out.

Constantly being screwed over and over again. Try to do something different, something for others, and they are only interested in two thing. Self-glorification and that measley few dollars. That's why you see the world failing, the music industry being in the shits it is and businesses all over the world fake smiling at everyone. The golden age has come and comebacks is the new thing. Everyone's just riding and surfing till it's over saturated like a pack of fats. And in the end, the old that becomes the new becomes the old again and the new never gets to grow old. The Man has became the bastard and a bitch. There is no true spirit anymore. The indie has became mainstream. The mainstream has become pop, and the pop becomes ridiculed and forgotten. Globalization within Corporation without cooperation. The system is breaking down. The only safe place left is nowhere, not even inside your head. Hence the noise. The loud, intense, fortification of noise. The constant sound over the nagging that won't go away.

Mojo just gave birth. She wouldn't let me leave her side during her whole labour trip. I had to sit next to her or she would call after me and leave her nest. Thru her delivery, she constantly looked for me for moral support. Couple of strokes and she'll go back delivering. 3 hours and 4 kittens later, all is well. Every single one of them survived. The only one that looked like the dad was already acting like him after a short feeding. Curled up away sleeping. I may be broke, have a shitty job am gonna have to worry about what I'm gonna do with the kittens soon and I know I should have spayed the cats but right now I don't care. There isn't happiness. There is joy.

The Oslo Castaways
The silence engulfs.
We are The Oslo Castaways. (Formerly Known as The Subway Stars)
Hailing neither from Norway or the sea, the reference to Oslo wishes to encompass the beauty of Oslo. Of the long days and of the Northern lights. Of the waters and fjords. Of the tranquil and peace. And of being cast away from this place. A sense of longing and grief. Regret, despair, negativity.
This four piece indie rock act wishes to instill in their listeners an understanding of what they want to portray. More often than not, people try to put themselves in other people's shoes, trying to feel what they feel, without even understanding the root of the problem. An understanding is what they seek, at the very least.

Sitting. Standing. Waiting. You know what it's like to wait forever.
Sleeve
Formed in July 2005, Sleeve is a quintet producing original music that, according to listeners, is deeply melancholic and emotional. Our members have varying influences ranging from the music of Radiohead, to old school Malay rock. On the whole, the different playing styles of each member complement each other to personify a sound that is essentially unique to Sleeve's identity. Sleeve draws inspiration from true life experiences and emotions, making it easy for listeners to relate. We are currently working on our new single "Bound" and hope to release it on CD soon after.

Excellent. Just excellent. My glasses just fell into the toilet hole (not bowl) and I'm now blind without a spare except my old broken one. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Happened while I was showering and my glasses was in the sink. The shampoo fell into the sink, hit the glasses, *bounce!* fell right into the hole. Why is there a hole? Cos the water doesn't go thru the cover so I had to open it. Damn it!
My pathetic sight saver

Argh! The agony! But can't helped it, there's nothing else on TV and if I sleep I won't be able to wake up in time for work like yesterday. If you're up at 6am, check it out, then you can bitch with me. What happened to Yan can cook?
"Camera man, can you hear me?" Camera nods. "No? Too bad." Arghh!!!!!
"Camera man, can you hear me?" Camera nods. "No? Too bad." Arghh!!!!!
6am. Stupid cooking show with some woman with a half cocked HK accent or some I dunno what accent (could be Asian trying to speak a cross of American and Australian) frying vegetables.
"...with a chopstick. I am using chopsticks because I am chinese and I have been using chopsticks since I was a little girl. But you don't have to use a chopstick. You can use a laddle."
wtf?! and their is pronounced "there" not "they are"

I got me a skipper. Not exactly the bike I want but it's all I could afford right now. Just managed to barely pay for it, that's how broke I am. Anyway, since I've been riding it for the past 3 or so days, I realized how much I miss riding. The freedom, the breeze thru the body. PLUS it's automatic, means I don't have to change gears, means even more freedom! And there's this flat floor board thing where I can put my bag, or even better, my pedal case!!! Now just have to get a soft case for my guitar and I can bike to jamming or gigs. Cool!!!
Also chekkit!

4am. Couldn't sleep. I took a shower, got dressed, lit a cigarette and when downstairs.
430am. I took a drag of my cigarette and enjoyed the breeze while Oh Lately It's So Quiet by Ok Go played on my pod.
The song ended just as I finished my fag and I took a cab home.
I miss Australia.

My board is sort of fixed (pics up soon) but I don't really like how it's set-up so I guess it's back to the drawing board for me. It's bloody freaking heavy for me too, owing to the fact that there's a Line 6 DL-4 and a wah pedal in there now, and also that I'm terribly out of shape. I might get rid of the board all together and opt for 2 smaller cases instead. I might wanna dump some of the stuff I'm not using and throw in a TS-9 instead for the clean overdrive/booster sound. Being broke isn't helping however. I'm broke for the next 3 months or so, so I guess no moving out there.
My place is in such a shitty condition and so much bad vibes that it has became a chore coming here and I can't get much sleep either. On the plus side, I'll be able to get up on time for work (have been going really late for quite some time). On the negative end, it's not even 7am. I've been up since 445am simple cos I couldn't get sleep. I mean, yes, I did doze off into the comfortable state of "switch-off" mind, but somewhere after that I just couldn't continue and can't sleep.
In order to try to survive, I feel like, but maybe not, dump my MXR stereo chorus which I just got but don't really use but I like the sound, microkorg, microsynth, tremolo, also which I don't really use but I feel I wanna keep it cos I might wanna use it, Washburn 335 style guitar, magazines of hot chicks. But I also wanna get a TS-9, a DD-6 and/or an echo park, more magazines of hot chicks. Wishes and want-ses. Whishy-washy. I DO need however, an external harddisk of at least 300GB, an audio interface and a midi-controller. Some fags would be nice too. And of course, magazines of hot chicks. Oh. And a bike.
If anyone is interested, I have some stuff for sale at www.iammakingart.blogspot.com

It's coming. But it took so long. And after adding everything up and all that hidden charges, it's actually not much cheaper. And it's still gonna take about a week to arrive. Never gonna be here in time for the gig.
People still owe me money and I have no idea when I'm gonna get it back. In total it's almost a thousand dollars. Maybe I shouldn't be so sympathic anymore and lend money to my friends. Friends. If they really are, I wouldn't be waiting for so long for my money to be returned. I'm so broke now. Haven't paid my phone bills for teh past 2 months and I still owe dad for credit card bills. Credit cards are evil. 2 1/2 more weeks till pay day. And even then there won't be anything left after paying of my debts.
It's the 14th. 14th more days to pay day. 8 more days to an unconfirmed help out for a friend to do sound man gig. 7 more days to my debut solo gig and not enough material. 4 more days to Literati and I don't know what's gonna happen there. 3 more days to The Subway Stars gig at Rock D'Fort and I'm afraid of screwing up 'cos I can't remember the song names. Don't even know anything anymore. Don't even know if I'll ever be ready. I shall go out somewhere and hide but I can't. I should be at home doing a wash and working on my stuff.

Since I've lost my pedals, I've lost the drive to do anything. I just wanna sit around and do nothing but stone. Plus the shitty guitar and shitty overdrive sound that came out from jamming today didn't help. YUCK! Gigs seems boring. Jamming seems boring. Going to gigs is a drag. Work is just dead monotonus. No mood to write songs. No mood to do events. Lappie seems to be giving me problems. Not to mention that I'm dead broke. Even with so many gigs and new songs that has been coming out and my cats becoming less irritating, all I can do is just stare straight and let the streams of time carry me forward. Walking, following, floating, riding on the currents to take me wherever. I've become monotonus. Monotonus like those who work cos they have to work and not cos they like their job. No more heart. No more soul. No more passion. No more money to buy fags to have a nice long drag outside my dirty balcony which I don't use. No more money to tank up on booze to give me that silly grin and half closed eyes and laughing like an idiot feeling I like. It's such a drag these days.

Great. I just lost a load of pedals. I was transporting stuff from Sub to Perumal and thought I'd just close the door and run down, grab stuff and run up again and dump it in my place. Apparently, I think/suspect someone just opened the door, walked in and grabbed my laptop bag (which I think they though was a laptop inside but actually my pedals) and an Ikea plastic bag full of candle holders which I was downstairs. I hope I'm wrong and I'll find the Ikea bag of candle hodlers at Sub and the laptop bag somewhere else (though I remember bringing them into the car). But right now, I'm down a Jim Dunlop Cry Baby Wah which belongs to my friend who bought it in around 1998-2000 somewhere there, a Line 6 DL-4 Delay Pedal which I haven't finish paying Mr. MISSE for, a BOSS SD-1 which always runs out of stock at Swee Lee and my first pedal, a Ibanez Phaser PT-9 or something like that. It's the old school one and I got it (thru a friend) at cash converters for less than $30. $26 or $29. Around there. Fucked up!

This is so fucked up! My tooth is hurting like mad. I can't get an appointment at a polyclinic dental till 3 weeks later and I can't afford to go to a fucking private dentist. FUCKED UP!!!!! Fuck it man. I'm not going anymore. Let the pain continue. Fuckers.

No rock n roll is so boring lor. Ya lame-o but it really is. Sat hopefully can really get to jam. Hope this line up will really rock cos I'm sick and tired of uninterested and passionless people and starting over and over and over again. I just wanna start, not stop and keep going. I miss rocking it out on stage, trying to figure out what's that note that makes everything sound right, bugging people to come to my gigs and sub-conciously flirting away with everyone to get their contacts in my pathetic attempt to get more people who never heard of local music before to check it out and give us a chance (or actually check US out :P), begging and slutting the band to everyone I know and pimping it to organizers to score gigs, having an album that I can safely sell or give away proudly and know we're still around and not hiatus-ing, knowing we always have a gig on standby to tell anyone who asks or anyone I talk to, or rather who would listen to me rant, to come check us out at so and so and then mass SMSing to everyone in my phonebook to come check us out (again) and thus overloading my free SMS and having to pay $100+ for my phonebill for JUST SMSes, lugging loads of stuff to gigs to archive the performance on audio and video and trying to gather emails for a mailing list that was never used. Sigh. Disheartened is the word.
Guess I'll put playing guitars aside for now and stick to rocking it out with my bass. My lovely sweet bass. Oh it's been ages since I've last caressed you. Since I last banged you. Literally. I think the last time was Stasis 8. Or was it the DXO gig? Hmmm...Back on track, guess guitars will have to wait till I can find something that fits. I'm actually seriously considering dumping all my guitar stuff and just stick to bass but...guitars are fun too. Not that I'm any good at it, or the bass for that matters, but it's so fun to mess around with funny chords and funky effects. So fun to lug around heavy cases of pedals and spend ages setting it up for a jam let alone gig. Unlike bass where you just plug and wait by the side while everyone takes forever to set-up. Miss is another word.
I shall be called Miss Disheartened.

I'm dreaming of another band. And another. And another. And another. There's no end. And since most everyone isn't enthusiastic enough to feed my drive for performing live, I have to create as many opportunities as I can. I just want to play. Luckily I don't play drums. Unluckily I don't sing.
Anyway...stolen..
Anyway...stolen..
--- ADVERTISTMENT ---
A new "just-for-fun" side project band is forming in the horizon and we still need some HR work. Female drummer found. Female guitarist found. Male bassist found. Searching for male vocalist. We are balancing the forces so we don't look like a half-baked all-girl band or something. Think Von Bondies or Kaito. So any boys out there who would love to sing for a no-frills-straight-up-we-will-rock-you band? I suggested rock singing, but male bassist said "anyhow singing" suits better.

Friday The 13th. Not such a great day after all. Paul of Garage Studio and the drummer of Sleeve fame passed away. Cause of death still unknown but he was found dead at Garage itself. It was said that he died in his sleep. I frequent Garage Studios a lot. Mainly 'cos I finish late from work most of the time and it's one of the coolest and cheapest and most convenient place for a midnight jam.I went for his wake and his funeral. The mood was so sombre at his wake. Those who came just sat around. No one talked. It was so quiet. His funeral was sad too. Heard he was the only son. His parents were really strong. 'Cept his grandma who was crying for him at his funeral. When his body was cremated, we all tried to be as strong as we could. But as his coffin slowly entered into the crematorium, his dad waved goodbye to him. It was too much to handle and I just had to cry for him. It was a very sad moment. He shall be missed dearly.
Paul was a great guy. Always friendly. Very polite. Super humble. He was a great drummer too. Just looking at the way he played and you could tell. His strokes. The way he played. The way he controlled his sticks. The way he played with dynamics. It was mesmorizing watching him play. I only really saw him play for the first time at Stasis 8 and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. That Sunday we had a brief chat. Thursday I just messaged him to book a studio for Sunday. Friday he passed away.
We're trying to organize a gig in memory of him. Do come to lend your support even if you do not know him well.
Here's to Paul.

THIS is Johnny Zero
http://www.thrillingdetective.com/eyes/johnny_zero.html
I like. Very Guy Ritchie. Very Snatch. Very cool. Like. Like. Like. Thursday late nights or rather Friday very early morning. Watch. Don't sleep. Before that there's a series of cartoons. Can't remember the names. The Amercian Guy I think and something else. What's it Bid? Catnip. hahahahaha...
I guess the series didn't really survive but I liked the pilot. What a waste.
Egon's sleeping on my lap again. Only he sleeps on me. Even when I'm sleeping. On my chest. On my side. Slut! Mojo just disappears. Cool thing is they're my wake up call. Every morning around 7am without fail they'll fight (playfully) on my bed and start nibbling on my leg and toes. Grrr.....! Why can't they fight somewhere else. By the time I throw them out of my room I'm up already. Which usually is TOO DARN EARLY!!!

Ahhh...Friday the 13th. I love Friday the 13th. It's just so...special.
Egon and Mojo are so funny. Whenever I'm in the toilet, theycomewhinning at the door for me. Trying to get under the door. And ifI'mtaking too long, they'll go to the shower cubicle and wait for meinthe corner. Hello! I'm taking a dump here!
Mojo's actingthequeen now. Only looking for affection when Egon's not around.WhenEgon's around, she's all like, "Hey! I'm cool. I don't need anyofthose childish, immature things." But when Egon is sleeping or notinthe vicinity, she's all, "Suckle! Cuddle! Me! Me! Me!" Egon ontheother hand is just a slut. Always wanting attention. Always wantingtolie on your lap. Always eating. Sounds familiar. hahahaha!
Gottafinda way to keep Mojo off the table. She's all queen like andalwayswanting to perch on higher ground. Always trying daring stuntswhichEgon would then follow. Like balancing on the kitchen chair'sback-restover looking out into the street and trying to climb out ofthe windowfrom the ground. Bad influence!
Gotta raise money tobring themto the vet. It's way past their checkup/vaccination date butI'm sosuper broke. Just paid $441 for my starhub phone bill and I stilloweM1 close to $200. ARGH! I'll never get my bike at this rate. I soneedit. Transport is killing me especially since I'm travelling quitealot. I so need a better paying job with better hours. I can'tsurviveon my current salary and there's so much more I wanna and cando. I'mso definitely worth more than what I'm getting paid. Guess I'llhave togrit my teeth and just wing it. In the meantime try to do moreandsleep less. Anyway i've been sleeping past 3am almost everydayforquite some time already.
