Wow! We're mentioned in 8 Days. Just a passing note but, wow!

Not everything's all hey ho happy yay! My mom opened my mail and used the contents of it against me. WTF!!!!! Gotta fucking get out of here man.

Have you ever noticed.....

that conversations usually end once you enter a lift?

think about it.

I think......

Peeing is it's a waste of electricity and water, and for some, harmful to trees.

What do you think?

We had a great time last night at the gig. Everyone was smashed in some way or other. *wink* The Love Experiment and Stellarnova had a blast. Ugly In the Morning played a rocking good set. It was simply mind blowing and the crowd loved them. Man.... if E.M.O.T. has even a quarter of the kind of crowd response UITM had last night, I'll die a happy man. That kinda stuff just makes everything worthwhile. It's the trill of playing live that you cannot get anywhere else. Even though the crowd was mainly just us. *LOL* There's something else I'd like to say but I think it's safer I don't. All I can say is that the bands were very happy last night.
*h-u-g-e a-s-s w-i-d-e g-r-i-n*

It's been a crazy week full of work and gigs and getting stuff ready for whatever's happening. Had only one jam prior to the gig later tonight with E.M.O.T. and we just ended up messing around and stepping on each other's pedals. That's what happens if you're a pedal whore. Eevryone wants to step on your pedals. We jammed a disco version of Nothing's Wrong which I liked a lot and recommended we should play tonight at the Bring the Noise and Funk gig but the rest wasn't comfortable enough with it...yet.

Stood in for Stellarnova on guitars too cos their guitarist couldn't make it due to err..personal reasons. Hope I can pull it off. I'm totally bringing no justice to their guitarist's great guitar riffs and works. Think I'm gonna screw up real bad, even with the pieces of papers in front of me. One jam is NOT gonna be enough for me. Argghhh!!!!!

Unfotunately I couldn't make it to help out at Indie-pendent weekend. Sudden load of crap just fell, but I managed to catch a bit of Ecrus Garage and Ronin at the Waterfront n DODA @ POW. yup yup. Abb. is the way 2 go. Whooo!!!!

Whooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been a lazy Sunday er...day. I woke up. Went back to sleep. Woke up. Lazed around. Went back to sleep. And got up to slack around again. Work has been crazy. Whole week at the Sub and next week, another week long show. Got a little time to put some pics of Grrrl Power up before I go jam.

 I had so much crap to carry.

 Touch my groin! Touch my groin!

 Don't ask.

 Sasha all looking snug and comfy next to the amp.

  We're on Esplaande banner!!!!

 Alice  the M.C. of the event. She promotes bands with female fronts.

 I've said it before and I'll say it again. This lift is bigger than my room.

Why we don't have pics of the gig itself ah??? Hmmm...

Had a great time at Grrrl Power. I would say it's E.M.O.T's best gig till date. It was so much fun that I'm actually still running on the adrenaline rush of Sunday's gig. Great to see the unexpected to turn up at the gig too. And The Dancing Uncle came to watch us instead of Nick Shen and danced to TWO! of our songs! How cool is that!!!!!

Mini-Marshall rocks. I got this when I just started playing the guitar and got my first electric guitar which I sold 'cos I turned bassist and the guitar I had sucked and we (my family) was going on a trip to Malaysia and I was hooked on the guitar then so I cycled all the way to Boon studio to buy this amp cos I remembered seeing it and wanted to play the guitar during the long bus ride to Malacca. I think I paid $40 for it. Then I cycled all the way home, took a wrong turn and got lost and ended up in Hougang. In the end I didn't get a chance to bring the amp OR my electric guitar up to Malacca 'cos my Mom or Dad said it'll disturb the other passengers. I think I was 16 then. That should be right cos I turned bassist around 17 or 18 during poly time. I'm back to guitars again but I still love playing bass.

Anyway, my band, Eugene's Moment of Truth a.k.a. E.M.O.T. will be playing at Grrrl Power!!! on the 4th and 6th of March at the Esplanade Waterfront at 730pm with Lunarin on the 4th and Malaysian band Tempered Mental on the 6th. Check out Music For Good Website. If you don't know the URL, shame on you!!!! *Slap*

Have you ever wondered. Do the angmohs hear 'chingay' and immediately think, '"Oh! Chinese gay feller!", because the way we pronounce the word it sounds like 'Chink-Gay' instead of 'Chin-Gay' or is 'Chink-Gay' the right prononucation and 'Chin-Gay' just wrong? Oh well. Just something that came across my mind and not many things come across my mind in the first place. I think I'm gonna spend money again tomorrow. It's gonna be a crazy weekend. Later tonight, set-up for Concert for Operation Restoration. Morrow afternoon, touch-up and sound-check for Concert for Operation Restoration. Late afternoon, rush off to spend money. Evening, off to the Sub for word (grrrr), after work, back to YMCA to tear down. But do come down to YMCA for the Concert for Operation Restoration. A lot of great bands will be playing. If you don't know where or when it is by now you should be ashame of yourself. I'm not gonna tell you but the Music for Good website will. *click*

My stomach hurts. I wonder why. Must be all the strange food I had. Plus that beer Euge, Darr and Me had at The Blue Cow because Union was close. Blarg! Fabs is still no where to be heard or seen. Everyday when I leave the house and come back, I walk a little extra route round where I left him and have been feeding him the past few times to see if I bump into him. No luck. I guess he'll be ok. He's independent. He's Fabulous! *sigh*

Finally Sasha is up! Rock right!!!

I so need to get off my ass and get work done. Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I found Fabs again on Thursday. He was in the basement looking for me. *I hope* lol. I had to get him food even though I was late for work. I lost him again since then. I though if I saw him last night I'll sneak him up to my room to sleep but, oh well. I'm falling sick and it's not from CNY food. I haven't had any anyway. I'm broke too. Grand total of $3.99 in my bank. I can open a $3.99 shop now.

I hope Fabs is alright. I keep hearing mews and my mom said she did too. Unfortunately she told me off about bringing the cat up cos she thought I did that at night. I hope someone nice found him and is looking after him instead of him roaming around looking for food. Sigh.

You know what's the worst feeling one can get? No. *pause* No. *pause* No, not that either.

Picture this. You're riding home. And all off a sudden, your nose decides to leak. There's no way in hell you can stop to clean it off and the tissue you've been using to try to clean your nose dripplets has just flown off compliments of the wind. (yes. Been doing that ride and wipe thingy). It starts to trickle down your nose giving you that stupid itch that makes you wanna scratch your nostrils out. You have no choice but to use your hand. Bad move, thanks to the wind resist-taunce again, drippies are all over your lower half of your face now. Last move. Must use Iron Palm skill. Ewwwwww.....!!!!

Tip: Tissue in tight jeans is not very helpful when on a bike.
