malacca is....

bloody hot.

trippin'

i find myself in PJ once again..

And i'm blogging at some old town coffee joint near the hotel.

One word : SLACK!!!!!

=D

wah seriously. ahahahah

it's 4 am.

i just got back.

it's really horrible when both your bass drum and your hihats are sliding away from you, and you seat is too low.

but i survived, and yes, i need a lot of work. ahhaha

more randomness in the morning

i feel chilly this morning from being snatched out of bed and transfered almost immediately from my air-conditioned room to a car.

it is as if the collective fat on my body has turned to butter, leaving me cold, sluggish, and overall semi-solid. Butter goes well with bread tho. with myriad of different fillings as well!

Sorry for the graphic imagery.

Happy Sunday!

randomness once again.

i was just thinking : just because someone tells you,
"hey! that's not weird, what you're doing. i do it to!"
doesn't make whatever whacked out shit you do any less weird,
it just makes for two weird people.

then again.

if you start forming a club of weird people, you might still be weird.
(just not in the club that you guys are members of.)

if you draw it even bigger, to the fact that "weirdness" is merely a matter of social perspective, whatever notion of strangeness becomes something subjective.

ok this is just degenerating in to pointless, irrelevant self-mind-screwing.

i think this whole post is redundant.

a test

let's see how this works.

it's so freaking hot today.

it's not merely a day...

it's a festival biach, and let it begin!!

=P

does this count as meaningful?

believe it or not, i used to love climbing stuff.

i would really love climbing playground structures, just for the heck of it.

i think if i were fitter, i would seriously try free running.

i loved the feeling of jumping off somewhere high and landing, bending my knees so i wouldn't break something.

well, i did break something, but not intentionally, and for my ultimate benefit

but recent developments in my physique have left me grounded, in a sense.

so, then.

i can end this post by saying something pseudo-deep such as, "i would love to return to those days, to climb, to jump. the air, the speed of the fall, the freedom... ahh.. the joys of a younger version of me."

but that to me is ultimately some pretentious bull. seriously.

this post is just me remembering my past. i am merely stating a memory. there's no need to read too much into it, no need to deconstruct this discourse.

end of story.

=)

in other news, i am glad i was wrong, people still care. secular societies should stay secular. liberal societies should stay liberal. i'm also glad it has past, and i really hope no more backlash will ensue.

also, the catching of a dude is not a sign of success, it's a conclusion of a massive failure. i mean, he was living like a common villager for what, a year?

FAIL.

someday..

i will blog something meanful.

someday.

this is another video of me on drums.

i wanted to blog about something, but i forgot, so i'm just gonna post this up for now.

but the fact is...

i need to spend MUCH more time in front of the drum set practicing.

triplet triplet triplet.....

yes.

joash will learn to play Just Might Be Ok by Lupe.

hi, my name is...

i think right now more people have seen me on the djembe than on the drums.

well, while i play the djembe more, and honestly sometimes i prefer it, cause it's such a hassle to set it up, and comparatively a djembe is so much easier to cart down.

well, here's a video of me on drums!

I'M THE MOST IMPORTANT!! DON'T BOTHER ABOUT THE REST! =P

some people really have to face the cold hard truth about their problems:

"Nobody cares."

i honestly don't think women are oppressed in Singapore, or at least most of them don't feel like they are. so i mean, where does that leave AWARE?

(more specifically, i think we are all oppressed together!)

haha!!

if i somehow offend anyone other than AWARE members, i deeply apologize. my straw poll on oppression consisted of mainly my mum, who heard me exclaim loudly when i was reading the papers one day as i sat on the dining table.

GAH!!!!!!!!!! TAKE THAT!!!

I AM STRONG!!

(i broke that trying to the separate it from the t-shirt i'm wearing now. whoops.)

FAIL!

for those who know, i had a really hard time doing my south asian studies response paper.
this was due mostly to the fact that the piece-of-shit-partner i got assigned to took too damn long to send me his paper, thus i was unable to do the peer response till the last minute.

well i got back my paper, but since all the other papers were in an unguarded pile, i just had to peer into his paper.

in doing so, i noticed a massive fail!

DUDE!!

what the hell man!! ahahah south asia? Singapore?! HAHAHA!

what an idiot, seriously. the fail doubled when i took a look at my own paper, which he copied from. the mentioned segment is below.

end result, douchebag's logic fail, and copying on microsoft word EPIC fail!

this kinda made my day actually.

my specifically, it made me laugh open in an almost empty hallway.

whoops.

cheers!

not only is my room but to a larger extent my house seems much quieter.

it was a bit like december revisited. but only with a larger extent of slacking that i knew i wasn't supposed to allow myself.

hell it was a good week!

aside from the essay writing stress, which i am about to subject myself to AGAIN.

can't wait till the Aussie peeps get back man.

=D

on a separate note. i feel i really enjoy long night drives, be with alone or with company.

not cause i'm emo-ing, please, it's cause it gives me a good time to enjoy my music, and conversations.

anyway, here's more Aerowane videos!!

i am still stumbling upon stuff to throw away as i seek to close a chapter of my life.

ok before i say anything, let me make this clear, I LIKE THIS SONG.

with that said, to borrow an idea from Yuqin, that good composition ≠ good song writing.

seriously, look at the lyrics!!! FREAKING MELODRAMA LA!

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?"
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you...

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Policeman says, "son you can't stay here."
I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year."
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Who's waiting on a girl...
Oohoohwoo
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world...
Hmmmm

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner...
'Cause you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved...

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.
[Repeat in background]

So I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move.
