Zaniness of the Online World

The Internet sure is incomprehensible.It might be one of those things humans should ponder upon like 'what is life' and all that crap.Sorry if I don't sound really clear.Another example about the sort of thing I'm talking about is like what Einstein said,"the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible".Yeah nonsense like that which makes smart alecs say 'Oh yeah yeah I know that!" while others who either understand it or don't will just nod it off sheepishly or dig their nose for whatever reasons.Whatever it is I really think it is quite safe to say that half if not most of the Internet is full of crazy dumb stuff.Plenty of forums,all kinds of comments from all sorts of people,whether they are wearing yet another mask online is an entirely different question.The thing in question is kinda overwhelming..argh I can't even put what im feeling now into words..well err I think the conclusion from me for now is let's just observe the Internet,as in everything in life.I feel whenever one is in doubt..it's best to just zip up and observe.Oh try not to let off some gas too in case you ate too many potatoes.

Here's a video I found in youtube yet again.

That's the World of Warcraft That You Play!

What The Heck?!

I've been caught off guard..again.I feel it's very corny and very dumb but yeah I can understand what's being sung by the guy HAHA XD

Relaxing

Well I really have so little time to blog now haha..bro's back and using the laptop.Well actually its more like im lazy today hehe.Nway here's something worth listening.I bet everyone must have at least a bit of notion what this song is.It sounded very familiar to me too when I heard it in my friend's laptop.Apparently it's a song from Secret Garden.I have nothing to do with the message it seems to impart.Seems kinda thought-provoking though at this moment it had no impact on me whatsoever.But I must agree that the scenes are really nice and beautiful haha.Well here it is enjoy.

Secret Garden-Song from a Secret Garden

4th Anniversary

Well today is an important day.And no it has nothing to do with anyone of the opposite gender if the title suggests so,regrettably haha.And of course there's nobody whom is close to me who passed away on that day.Rather,it was just one of the things which has happened in my life which I will never forget.That day was the birth of a beautiful friendship.

Honestly,I've just realized it around 2 days ago.I was just doing nothing at that moment when suddenly,a thought crossed my mind.Seriously..I got goosebumps when it dawned upon my mind.I mean..could it really be?Immediately I ran upstairs and i opened up the case.Yeah,the receipt clearly shows that it was close.On the day after tomorrow,on the 17th April 2004.It was the day when my electric guitar,not forgetting the amplifier came into my hands.

The night before I went with my family to the music shop in JJ just to check things out.My dad said it's allright don't rush it we can still head over to KL tomorrow.I remember that morning,the whole gang of us got our behinds anchored onto the innards of my dad's old volvo.We were headed towards KL.My dad's driving,with my godfather seated in front,while the rest of us comprising my bro,my godbrother n I got seated at the back,naturally.And I got myself sandwiched in the middle..the most horrible seat one can get in a car,especially someone who is around my height or taller still.I really cannot comprehend how back in the old days,my bro and I used to bicker over who gets the back middle seat.Ah I've just remembered.It was because of the air-cond haha.

Nway,we just barraged our way through the crazy roads in Kl and its good that we arrived at Bentley without more than 2 hours delay.Man this shop is huge!So many Fenders and Ibanezs.The price tags doesn't help.Prior to the trip,my bro and I agreed with our dad that we would spend less than RM1000 each for our choice.So at that moment all I wanted is a below range Ibanez.I was confused why my godfather and godbrother always looked at me with a kind of look whenever I tested Ibanezs.They said its your choice,choose your own guitar,feel it yourself but of course I took their opinion in mind when they don't seem to like the tone of the low-range Ibanezs i tried.

Later on we went to Woh Fatt somewhere around Jalan Imbi.The shop was filled with Gibsons.At that time I didn't realize why my godfather and godbro can just chatter about it with so much enthusiasm.Like the Fenders.Nway the price tags here made my eyes bulge out even more..So I was just scurrying through running my eyes all over without any expectations of owning any.Again I was asked not to worry and tried a guitar or two.Haha my test songs for this trip were always Megalomaniac and One Last Breath.Kinda funny thinking about it now.I must have played Megalomaniac horribly that time haha.

We then went to Bangsar.KL really feels so big for me at that time.And I remember feeling very bored with all this travelling around.We stopped somewhere near a The Ship outlet where theres a guitar store.In it we saw a nice guitar.It was an Epiphone Les Paul,coloured in brown sunburst.It even has a tremolo bar!My godfather was all for it due to the tremolo bar while my godbro thinks its good but as it will be my guitar I should choose one without any defects.There's no pickguard but my godbro liked that haha.What he didn't fancy were the scratches.Woah it didn't even fell onto my line of sight!Nway we left another guitar store yet again without a guitar in hand.

The next stop is just an ordinary music shop selling mostly pianos with those standard below-range Ibanezs and Squiers one can find in any music store.Left that place in less than 10 minutes.And then we were headed back to Ipoh.My bro decided not to buy any guitars for himself.At this point I kinda felt that all these effort we did are futile.It's good that I was reminded by my godbro that all these will give me the kind of experience and knowledge much needed in every good guitar player who knows his/her stuff.

We went back to the store in JJ.And I saw that there was this guy seated there,trying out a really beautiful electric guitar.That is the Les Paul we saw earlier!With a totally different look to it.It has a cherry sunburst colour and a really cool pickguard.There's no tremolo,but it really looked nice.Waited for the guy to finish with it,then I had a run-thru with it.This time i even played Apache haha.And though i didn't know the difference in tone at that time,this guitar really feels good to me.I liked it.

The price was again high though.It costs Rm1900.Of courselah,I thought dejectedly,it's a great guitar wert.Nway my dad asked whether I liked it or not.I said yeah.What about the amp?Err yeah but its so big.And it costs Rm1800..Then my dad simply paid for both of it.I was ecstatic and I was so happy.I'm grateful to have such wonderful parents and I really appreciate his way of showing me that he loves me.And yeah I'm really thankful for my godfather n godbro who followed us the whole day literally and it really is a plus that they know the owner of the JJ guitar store so my dad got a 10% discount!

Haha this post is extremely long.Must be kinda boring.Well I brought the guitar here with me today.It really is great but well that's another story.Argh im itching to play so til then!

Me with the guitar 4 years ago(no camera to take a new photo..)

Uber cool

Well I've just finished playing Reservoir Dogs on the ps2 recently..and I have to say it is really pretty cool.Though i've never watched the movie before,the game really got me hooked into this umm..franchise??Haha nway I love the music and the straight-no-holds-barred kind of witty dialogue.I feel it is a tad violent and brash..no make that ten-folds or whatever it is you like.But come on it's Quentin Tarantino.Guys should watch this heck of a movie depicting a heist gone wrong in..what can i say..shittiest sense?Haha that seems so much more milder than the real thing.Nway enjoy this video i've 'curi'ed from youtube.

George Baker Selection-Little Green Bag

Announcement

I'm not sure where my bro got those 3 photos i posted earlier,it was saved in his pictures folder.So just in case,i'd like to give acknowledgements to whoever it was who first changed the photos to the state it was in when i 1st saw it.Its just too bad i don't even have a digital camera to call my own..so i'm really sorry for the lazy job i did by just plagiarising somebody else's photo content.

And regrettably i can't post that often since I don't have a broadband connection at home,i'm still using dial-up..seems like those telcos are purposely making it heck for us dial-up users..well if im wrong I apologize but for me at least it takes forever just to get connected..about..20 or so freecell games usually haha.

Hope there'll be less monopoly in the future-lah.Oh and i hope KL gets inducted into the upcoming Monopoly World edition voting is over by now..

Dumbstruck by 300 Spartan Soldiers

Don't get me wrong.I've watched 300 and i think its quite a nice movie.Well actually I was watching it while my friends were scene-hopping the movie since they've already finished watching it earlier,but still..yeah i really think it is an allright movie.

Until my brother showed me these.

At that time I was still abit nonchalant about it.Up til the day i finally watched Meet the Spartans,which again my brother introduced to me.

WAT THE HECK?!

I was completely blown away.Its not that its incredibly imaginative and original.It was just plain cheap slapstick nonsense with non-existing common sense.There is nary an iota of intelligence behind the movie.Instead it was just served for an audience whos jump into the ride hoping to get their brains smashed into a pulp.Low in DHA juice.

I will never forget.

Men of valour skipping to battle.

Men of iron with painted abs.

Men of extraordinary sense of duty to their homeland sipping coffee bean and beer before battle.

And the ultimate question:How many people can one kick into a well before it gets overcrowded?

Whatever it is I liked it :)

Longest Time Spent Online

Its crazy..today's the first time i've spent online for this long.Many thanks to my uncle who left the router open for me to get his line.And many thanks to my brother who allowed me to use his laptop(I only asked for permission after using it haha).Nway its midnight now..and i've just listened to this great song.It has been in my mind every night for weeks if not months lol.So here it is.

Bread-If

If a picture paints a thousand words,
then why can't i paint you?
The words will never show,
the you i've come to know.

If a face can launch a thousand ships,
then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all thats left me too.

And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man can be two places at one time i'll be with you,
tomorrow and today,
beside you all the way.

If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die.
I'd spend the end with you,
And when the world was through..

Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away.

Of War and Rock Music Through the Times

Iron Maiden-The Trooper


There goes sumkinda battle..maybe somewhere between the age when gunpowder was used or maybe during the age of enlightenment.

Guns N Roses-Civil War


Another 1..obviously it depicts the civil war which occured in the USA during 1861–1865.What a coincidence that it ended on this very day.Eh no..why's there Tom Hanks in it??!!This ain't supposed to be Forrest Gump or World War II!!

Green Day-American Idiot


And nowww we have this which revolves around the events after September 11,the war in Iraq stuff like that.What another crazy coincidence i just knew Iraq fell to American troops on this very day too!

Nway in case you're wondering,rest assured I won't go elaborating bout all the bla blu ble blu bout war n such.Instead,look at the videos and the rock bands behind it.All have something to say bout war.But what's great is whether it is for mustering up battle spirit or telling about the cons of war..rock music does it great.

Yeah rock is so damn cool.So always use batu when u play rock,paper and scissors.Even if you lose the round,what matters is you won't go down without first putting up a tough fight.And don't forget that your spirit won't yield to failure no matter what happens.So let's all hear what the old man says and chant the warrior's prayer!(P.S. this posting is just an excuse for putting up the first 2 videos obviously)

Somebody Else's Problem

The world is getting crazier by the minute.I know that sounds cliched but in a way it's a fact by now.Just the other day i remember reading in the papers that there was this dude who got beaten up by a gang of youths for fun..pointed out by the way they just continued jaywalking laughing the whole incident off.One might think "Yeah well that happens all the time bla bla" but let me reiterate that this incident happened in a public area,in broad daylight..it was around noon,and it happened at a bus stop when there are many people around.If that still doesn't make one bat an eyelid..it just shows how full of apathy and selfishness many if not all of our society has become..it's already sad enough with the sordid state of affairs all around the world nowadays..it's much worse when the peoples who are the cornerstones where a nation hinges on collapse under the pressure of those who are wanton on creating disharmony among society..

Sure..one might think it's just somebody else's problem..why should i care and cause unnecessary trouble on myself on behalf of another person whom i seemingly have not even had a single second of acquaintance with??I'm not here to say that i'm in any way holier than thou or not.Frankly if I was in that situation i think i'll just get stunned and not be able to move a single muscle to do anything at all since i'll be way too confused and terrified like nuts.However,what i do want to point out is..we do not know when or where things like this might happen.It might happen right now or the day after tomorrow.It might happen to someone who is close to you.. so IMHO one should seriously think over these things..because who knows?It could just happen to me myself or you yourself one day..and it could be that nobody will come to our rescue.

On a lighter note,let me share with you something i read from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' regarding S.E.P.s .'An S.E.P.,is something that we can't see,or don't see,or our brain doesn't let us see,because we think that it's somebody else's problem.That's what S.E.P. means.Somebody Else's Problem.The brain just edits it out;it's like a blind spot.If you look at it directly you won't see it unless you know precisely what it is.Your only hope is to catch it by surprise out of the corner of your eye.'

It's funny yeah.But there is a profound meaning to it if you look at it with a different perspective.
I rest my case.

Intro

I can't believe i'm doing this now..how did it ever occur to someone like me to even contemplate or even thought of starting a blog??but then again things happen for a reason..though all these things r still kinda fuzzy to me now..hopefully i'll get the answer in due time heh.nway i'm new at this so any tips or feedback are much appreciated :D
