Six Feet Under the Stars!

Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sell me out
But our footprints washed away
From the docks downtown
It's been getting late for days
And I feel myself deserving of a little time off
We can kick it here for hours
And just mouth off about the world
And how we know it's going straight to hell

Pass me another bottle, honey
The Jaeger's so sweet
But if it keeps you around, then I'm down

Meet me on Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold, you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars

I should have known better than to call you out(On a night like this, a night like this)
If not for you, I know I'd tear this place to the ground(But I'm all right like this, all right like this)
I'm gonna roll the dice
Before you sober up and get gone
I'm always in over my head

Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold, you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars

Time to lay claim to the evidence
Fingerprints sell me out
But our footprints washed away
I'm guilty, but I'm safe for one more day
Overdressed and underage
Do you really need see an ID?
This is embarrassing as hell
But I can cover for it so well
When we're six feet under the stars

Thames Street
I'll take you out
Though I'm hardly worth your time
In the cold you look so fierce
But I'm warming up
Because the tension's like a fire
We'll hit South Broadway in a matter of minutes
And like a bad movie, I'll drop a line
Fall in the grave I've been digging myself
But there's room for two
Six feet under the stars
Six feet under the stars
Six feet under the stars

fruit cake, sponge cake..

its ironic, how things might not be what they sound like. They might sound and look different at the same time. Hahah.. perfect example;

If fruitcakes are made from fruits flavoring, then does spongecakes taste like sponges? And whoever came up with WATERmelons, or ROCKmelons..? What's next, AIRmelons or FIREmelons?! They certainly doesn't lived up to the name. Hahahah!

Obviously, i has hit me in the head the words we came out with could be total rubbish but because the human mind has gotten so used to the frequent usage of these words, it became a norm. When was the last time you were having a conversation, and midway through, you stopped to think of what you are babbling about. Could it even make sense? But considering the 'ROJAK' language we abide to, NOTHING or ANYTHING might make sense at all.. LoL!

But then, it's always different on paper then on verbal conversations. =)

What a weekend!

Ok ok updates! hahah..

First and foremost, i come forth with awesome and bad news all at once. But lets juz try to save all the drama and cut to the chase shall we..? haha!

Friday nite was the simply the best nite of my life for the start of 2009! Juz simply the best! The ARMIN queue outside of Zouk was unbelievable.. Almost impossible to get into Zouk in one piece without getting hurt and such. Its just me, Aru dear, Nora & her other 2 frens, and also Khai tagged along. And yeah, we all managed to get in, and though it was all hell-packed, we managed to have the time of our lives!! hahahhaha.. Its ARMIN! wat do u expect rite... Just incredible! And babe, thanx for coming wif me.. It brings more happiness, reali! =)

Well, then on Saturday we had our Punk Rock gig @ Odiocrib! Started later than expected, but it was all fine. No big crowds but juz a relax gig. We're juz out there to entertain and creating our awareness. ANd definitely we'll be having more gigs coming up now!

And that nite, joined Aru dear wif the family for supper at Adam Rd. The food was juz 'POWER GEDEGAK!' lah.. hahhahha.. Funny bunch lah these ppl, and i had fun even though it was a short gathering. Definitely i wont mind doing more of these. =) Thanks so much again Babe! *Hugs*

Ok btw.. here's the bad news:
We might not have the opportunity to travel to Indonesia for our Tour. Due to some unfortunate circumstances(thanx to the SAF), we dont have the availability of our drummer to the tour. So might as well we cancel it rite. We dunt know if we have other opportunities like this, but probably its better we dont go and concentrate on our recordings/EP. Well.. sorry to disappoint, but we certainly hope the support keeps on flowing in. Thanks guys!

AVB @ Zouk tonight!

Yes yes!! Armin Van Buuren is in town and spinning tonight at Zouk! As what the guys inside joke, (Amin Bin Buang!) hahhahahha...

One of the best DJs to ever spin in our shores, if not the best. But he can't be the best, bcoz he's awesome friend Tiesto is by far the heavy dose of Addiction! Hahaha.. Anw whatever it is, AvB is hitting it tonite and im sure hells gonna be there amongst the power-packed crowd! Expect full house by 10pm guys! And i expect Eternity and Adagio for Strings to be the highlight tonite all the way to the morning light!!! =)

a slow soothing day..

im sitting back against my chair, just enjoying the simple, melodic voice of Hayley Williams of Paramore. Such petite yet strong, melodious voice suits just nicely for a sweet angelic face. I'm reali enjoying this acoustic version of Decode, bcos it brings out the soothing mood which in turn, gives me the pleasant chills all over my body whenever Hayley sings live. This version, complete with nice violin plays and the harmonic piano keys, will definitely make you close your eyes, tilt your head back slowly and calm yourself down away from the pacey world. If you are lucky, you cld even shed a tear or two, knowing fully well it it really a sweet, sad but lovely song.

And yes, i do have visions of Twilight playing in my mind everytime i hear this song. =)

5/1.09

Juz woke up at 10pm, aft a long nap. Took a short nap aft reaching home from a hectic day at work. Sigh.

People, is it normal to cry in ur sleep? Seriously..? I might juz did. I dont remb much, but it cld have been the saddest ever dream i had till i had to shed a tear in my sleep. I never thought its possible to happen though. It cld have been a dream, but i cld almost felt every motion. But now i'm dazed and confuse over anything.

Just what is goin on? What cld this mean?

its a new coming..

We're still in the first week of the New Year' 09! And im still giving a shoutout to all the people that matters in my life, to have a refreshing and blessed restart to the year! No matter if you had a slow, bad start or a fantastic one, make the year count...! =)

17/12

as of now... i'd been blaring my ears to lots of disc-Spinning music. Tiesto, Armin Van Burren, Antoine... these are the few DJs that certainly has been the few biggest influences in my music life. Yeah i do listen to other DJs too, including Benny Benassi. And my fond of House/Electro Trance music had grown ULTRA ever since the last Zoukout on Saturday! Off the chain, seriously..! Even until now, my whole body cant stop moving bout everytime i hear these tunes from my MP3 player! Thats how much the impact was... And i swore i can never get enuff of it all, just partying all nite long.. But swear to it, i dont need my drinking habit to come into the picture anymore.. I now need lotsa Sugar Rush to thrived on!! hahahahah.. RED BULL!

Ok so, moving forward from Zoukout.. We had our gig last Sunday too, (Yeah the day after Zoukout) and it was really really awesome. Positive feedbacks and the best of experiences, that nite. So i'm shouting out to the rest who's reading this.... PLEASE COME DOWN FOR MORE [DEAR WHO AM I] GIGS!! SUPPORT US!!!!!!

AND, we do have a gig this SUnday at Kg Glam, 73 Bussorah Street. FAD Studios! 7pm onwards is our timeslot... PLEASE HEAD DOWN!!! $6 only...!

In the meantime, enjoy the background track by AVB & DJ TIESTO! =)

MY MUSIC LIFE IS A DAMN ROJAK NOW!!!!

11/12

I was browsing thru the web, and obviously you cld have guess wat I just FREAKING saw! YES, this was 4 damn long years ago (as dated in there), and it was taken after my O level exams, waiting for the damn results era. Hahaha.. And this was in school during a combined Uniform-group camp. Damn right i can still remb this one really well. We were jamming to Muse's Hysteria!

Hahahahhaha.. ok seriously that was legend! I cannot believe the web has this picture, still. Hahhah!! I want to print this out sia...

9/12

Last Saturday's show was a bummer.. completely pathetic organising skills by the NLB. The show was fine, but only 2 bands? To make an impact on ur first organising gig, splash on media perhaps! get the ppl know bout it, and probably u'll have better response than Saturday. Crap!

But i wld still say we did good. First gig out with DWAI, i think i didnt do so bad either. We had fun, though their sound setting sucks ass! But wat the hell rite, we dont have own soundmen to perfect it up so i guess theres no point complaining bout it. We juz gotta look and sound better for next Sunday's gig then. THAT one we must be on form! Oklah geng, i'll practice more k. Hahah!

Anw, thanx Nurul, Fad & Sham for meeting up with me for dinner that nite. Then of coz, to bowling aft that. I was damn restless lah, certainly wasnt on form for that bowling game. Sheesshh! Sorry girls..

So Sunday was completely stayed home day. Too lazy to go anywhere.. Clean up, and did some refurnish to my room. No matter wat, it somehow still looks the same. Knn~! But nvm lah, at least its still clean enuff for me.

And last nite was damn hectic.. relatives coming over till late. The noise level, can really compare to my jamming sessions! That wat u get all the time when the family reunites... Oh my eardrums are bleeding.! =X

SO today i dont have much clue wat to do. I'll hop onto to any plans coming my way. Hmmm... i'm suddenly thinking of mutton chop. Wat a random thought.

5/12

Another edition of, Thank God Its Friday!(TGIF)


In today's news, I'M TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!!! Tomrw, 7+ onwards, NLB. Debut gig for me, as a DWAI member. Ok i have performed quite a few times before, but we're talking bout performing in front of loyal DWAI fans who has been established quite years back. hahaha.. Ok im adding more pressure to myself by saying that. My knees feeling the jittery effect even thinking bout it, but i hope it wld be fine at least. if not perfect start, rite?

One aim only... To have fun and dont think of wrong lyrics or different chords. Juz whack it in nicely dude! hahah..

Anw moving forward from that, i just read bout the Sony Christmas Sale! And hells, i sure wanna grab some stuffs from that. I mean, who doesnt rite..? Its Sony we're talking bout. Probably one of the best brand for electronics. Ok Syam, stop promoting them dammit! You wont get commissions. Hhahahah.

Today's payday babey~! Finally after waiting for 4 freaking delayed paydays, i have my pockets slightly fuller now. But i shldnt think of my liabilities just yet coz i need make myself happy first. Buy first, pay later...?! Who ever comes up with that, seriously cld be a genius or just a sad psychopath! Either way, i dont give a HOOT!

Ok been having these non-stop migraines since 2 nites ago. Accidentally hit my head on the wall, and it hit my nerve system at the back of my head. And it has this 'twirling' feeling up in my head since then. I dont know how to get rid of it so if anyone's reading this, HELP ME!! I cant even laugh or talk too much, or else i'll get that migraine again. Sheeessshhhh.. ! I need my head rub!! Desperately!

Hmmmm... head rub?! *
(O_o) *

Sigh... That song.

1/12

Lets start wif..... ITS FINALLY DECEMBER!!!!!! Look out 2009!!! 2008 is soon to be goner....!

But probably i havent completely done with 2008 yet. Stl got a few things to handle before the turn of the New Year. Plenty of upcoming events thats gonna happen and i'll be in the midst of everything.

First and foremost, may i announce that i'm officially a new found member of one of our local band, Dear Who Am I (DWAI)..! I'm on guitars btw. Thanks to the guys, for accepting me in and so i'll do my extreme best to make this work. =D

Yeah and we had a good session yesterday. I spent like 12 hours over at Khai's place, slackin and sessioning over the songs for our upcoming gigs. Oh yea, btw we got upcoming gigs : 6 Dec @ NLB, 14 Dec @ Kampong Glam, and 21 & 25 Dec @ places which i havent got any clue yet. hahhaha! A totally jam packed December, dude! Hmm.. this cld be my biggest break ever!

And yeah, so anw.. Caught up with Shades the other at Raffles Place. Shades was one of my best colleagues back in Brunei. Yeah, i had to show him arnd town coz he forgot how Singapore actually looked like. Cant blame him, he juz landed from Brunei bout a week ago, and stl adapting. hahah. take ur time dude.

Well anw, this week wld probably a hectic week coz of jamming sessions to get ready for the weekend show. Pls do come, to those that matters and to those who wanna catch me live in action! hahah.. NLB, Bugis.. I'll update the timeslot soon. Cheerios~!

27/11

One step closer to the weekends.... Wish it wld juz speed up alil. Hahahh. Cant tahan liao.

Btw, Welcome home Shades, Bob, Yasin, Man Sengau & Raymond! Hahahha.. I didnt know of ur home-coming till I M.J gave me the news thru FB. KNN u all! LoL.. But anw, you guys have served Brunei too long, so great to have you guys back. Looking back, that was juz another phase, so time to adapt back here dudes. And meet up for dinner or crazy, lepakz sessions! =D

Btw, eat your heart out. It ate mine. hahahha...

26/11

*yawns*


Came late today.. too tired to wake up early. Restlessness always gets the better of me, most of the time. Even now, after a longer sleep, i can barely concentrate on work. My eyes are like carrying weights for the Olympics! Damn, i'll do anything for those Water-beds now.

Btw, i got such an awesome surprise from Nurul on Monday. I didnt noe what she wanted to pass me so badly, until i went to see her and she gave me this small cool bag. But its wats inside the bag was that matters. A gift from Bali, she said. LoL! And looking at the size of the bag, i was stl wondering wat it was till i opened it up. The most nicest, Volcom Stone wallet i ever saw..! =) Really, i didnt expect you to get me anything, but i thank you the mostest for the wallet..! Most-est!! Hahaha..

And now, seems like i need to revamp myself abit, here and there. LoL! Gone wif the old, and welcome the new. At least for most things, that is. =)

Anw, went to had a short meet-up session wif Crisx, Salim, Pool and Azhar last nite at YP food place, then head down to Taka for lepaks. hahhaha.. pretty much nothing, but its juz stress-relieving whenver wif them. Juz a lil break from everything that matters. And thanx dude, for the cab-ride home. And for the tickets too. hahahha.. I'll pay u back wen the time comes. Insya Allah. For now, i need to get back to my Planning book, to calculate my budget for this mth spendings...

24/11

Monday again, and just another day whistling thru in the office and finding all the very means to kill off boredom. If there is a word to describe beyond boredom, im gonna lay it on here...!

I stayed home for the weekends... Yeah, can u believe that? The whole weekend! Except for that one Jemputan i had to attend at CCK. Other than that, Star Movies have been keeping me company all the way. Hurray for Star Movies! =)

But at least staying home gave me the chance to finish up my own demo CD, which have been in the closet for quite some time now. Damn, i reali need to work on it PRONTO! All i need is that bloody PCDrummer software. Sheeessshh~!


And a shout-out to the guys.. You better start planning the Dec trip if not, nothing will happen! I sure hell, know how slow you guys work.. I'll kick your ass then you know!

21/11

Again i wld like to start my blog, with TGIF!!!!!! Haahhah.. juz had to do that. Another weekend to look forward to. Im guessing not really filled with activities, but at least i can rest more at home. And that is just i need for now. Oh wait, probably jog too. LoL!

Nurul texted me this morning when im in the bus. She leaving for Bali for the weekends. "am leaving already. take care. " Wells, wat more cld i say.. Juz prayed for her safe journey to and fro. Hope she has fun there, and probably the big break she needs from everything. Oh wells.

Anw, last nite had a short meet up wif Iqbal anf Irfan, and their colleagues. Dinner @ Lau Pa Sat, juz chilling arnd and crap talk like normal. These guys are the few of my closest NS buddies i have, btw. Awesome bunch! Wanted to lepak longer yesterday but Irfan had to work late night shift, so to Iqbal. So i had to head home aft that. Had a comfy sleep on my magnetic therapy mattress. (yeah.. long time)..

Now i'm wondering wat to do for the weekends. Saturday kompang training. Sunday attend old neighbour's wedding. And thats it..? Hahaha.. Ok, honestly this is gonna be a slow, lame weekend! =

20/11

Juz came back from lunch.. Not reali much of a lunch lah. I didnt eat. I cldnt eat. My stomach wasnt feeling quite good today. No, it cant be wat i ate last nite, coz i didnt eat anything at all. And on top of that, been feeling restless these days. Alot of stuffs to do, and think bout. And i jogged last nite, mind you. My ankle problem seemed to haunt me back once again. Maybe because i went down the steps and landed my ankle on an awkward position. It didnt hurt at first, but it got the better of me after a while during my nite jog. So i had to rest early, also becos i wanted to watch the Friendly game between England & Germany. Well, i woke up late and manage to only catch the second half till the full time. Then off to work! Darn, i'm feeling the *yawns* now.

Sigh... nvm that. I'm thinkin wat i shld do today. My 'Kranji Camp' buddies are planning a meet up, so i'm thinking i cld join them. Shld wait for the confirmation from Iqbal now.


Speaking of NS buddies, gotta thank Khai Shuffle for that Amber Pacific song. Dude, it got stuck to my head and i'm having it on repeat mode in my mp3 player sia..! Awesome or wat!? hahahha.. Like u said, the last part of the song is the killer! =P


Wells, for now. Tmrw is Friday, their flight. Morning. Chances are, she wont call tonite, or even tmrw. Probably not for this whole week. But anw, to all of you goin, have a safe flight aight. I'll pray for the safe trip, to and fro.
