blues in the velvet room

Covered this after being so inspired and motivated by Mr. Meguro.

the headphone's cord looks really nice

Another video!
Guess what, it's ANOTHER UTADA cover. I hope those who bother watching don't get fed up. (lol) most probably by now you'll be thinking I don't really have a life since I posted 2 videos in less than 3/4 days?

Wonderful day!
The only class that I was supposed to attend this morning was cancelled without any prior notice. Fortunately I'm not those who needs to travel for hours to get to college. And also thankfully that I had plans after classes. Bought a few cool stuff today. Got to say I'm loving my new HP800 headphones. Awesome audio for my ears. Right, like what Sonic Gear says, TRUST YOUR EARS.

Woohoo! Managed to tab out this song with the help of the headphones. (like they're related!) Anyway here's the video. Someone please tell me how to rectify the distorted backing track problem.

Watched The Unbelievable today. The cinema was practically empty except for a few rows. As expected for a Chinese movie, right?

If you have no idea what the eff is The Unbelievable, I'll be kind enough to brief you through a bit so that you won't look stupid when your chinese friend mentions it. Basically it's a documentary style kinda movie. The Hong Kong crew travels around the world (actually it's just Thailand and Ipoh) to capture the supernatural incidents. Find such things intriguing? Then I suggest you watch it. You'll either go LOL or you might get disgusted by certain scenes. There are many BOMOH/SHAMAN scenes. The scenes are not for the faint hearted! However if you have some kinda twisted sense of humor (like me), you'll find the scenes very funny as well. I know I don't really make sense. You might wanna watch this movie on dvd *coughs* because it doesn't have any special effects. The whole thing is apparently true. Right, believe what you want. =D

There was this long trailer for a new movie entitled Carriers. Mymy, I was so happy when I saw that Piper Perabo will be a part of the main cast! How long has it been since I last saw her appearing on the golden screen? Anyways, what's with all the movies these days? Most of them are related to infection > mutation. This has been done too many times.

On a random note, I don't really wanna go back to Ipoh. I'd rather stay here, finishing my damn essays.

schmaltzy

Was feeling sentimental earlier this evening.
Hence, I did this.
First attempt playing songs in this way.

It's First Love btw.
Was listening to this while I was in form 1.... if I'm not wrong.

I think I kinda butcher the song during the end, the backing track was too loud. LOL.

And I'm addicted to Blow My Whistle. HOT. HOT. HOT VOICE.

weird dreams of lizards and caterpillars

I'm currently enjoying my weekend. It has been great so far. Frankly, I think I'm in such a good mood because there are no test papers for next week. Only have to worry about handing in the outline for Oral presentation.

Watched Public Enemy yesterday. Pretty good but not extremely good. The movie gave me the same feeling that Valkyrie did. I wonder why? Maybe it's because both are based on true stories and both have such tragic endings? It's a pity that the protagonist or (maybe antagonist) died. Bah, maybe I'm being so bias because Johnny Depp plays that character. Seriously, he looks freaking hot for his age. There's just something about him, it's inexplicable. Charisma and the confidence perhaps.

Since there's nothing much for me to do today, I have the excuse to do another cover, Mist / Fog. It's one of the instrumentals off SMT : Persona 4 OST. It's played during the final battle. Playing this makes miss my ps2 which is still in Ipoh. Feel like replaying p4 because it's just soooo awesome! Memories. T_T Gosh, I can get so sentimental when it comes to games and animes.

dejected

Is it me or the line today is really shitty? Or maybe PLURK is shitty but I think the line IS shitty because I can't seem to load myfreedictionary.com as well. Annoying. I finally know what hurts the most. In my case, it's when my gadgets are malfunctioning. That's right. My mom made my psp drop from the table. The table is about more than 1 metre high. Imagine the impact! Such a fragile little thing dropping from such height is really too much. I bet its internal parts are not in tact anymore. Tried playing PangYa Golf today and it kept "hanging" and switching off by itself. Guess what, it's fucked. I'm SO SO SO HURT and depressed. Will try to reformat the psp (doubt it'll work). Mom said she will get me a new one if it's dead. The thing is I feel kinda attached to this one, it's so sad even if I were to get a new one from her. And I think 2000s are getting extinct. I wouldn't wanna get a 3000. It's unacceptable for my PSP and I to part so early. There are big titles coming out at the end of this year that I'm so looking forward to such as Persona and FF Dissidia and the new GTA and FF AGITO. *sulks*

This week is the QUIZ week again. How mundane. And I'm supposed to give the title for English Oral presentation tomorrow but I have yet to come up with a nice topic. Crystal is dead meat.

To take away my depression, I've been trying to play this the whole evening. Ended up doing a cover. Utada Hikaru's Hikari or better known as Simple and Clean which is the theme song for Kingdom Hearts. Nop, I didn't bother to finish that game but I've always love this song. It's wonderful. She has such a beautiful voice. No no, I did not sing the song. I'm not so dumb to sing the song and end up butchering it. Instead, I did a cover of Rising Sun version. In other words, it's the instrumental rock version.

I really really need a better amplifier and distortion pedal. Such crappy sound system I have. People today have been quite amicable. I wonder why.

waaaaahaaiiii

Crisis Core's ending was too overwhelming. Thus yours truly decided to make a cover of the song used for the ending theme.

..and Happy April's Fool people! =)

1 more file to go

This year, the world's first global election is taking place, an election between earth and global warming. It's not about what country you are from, but what planet you are from. Your light switch is your vote. We need one billion votes for earth, because our planet is worth saving. Vote Earth by simply switching off your lights for one hour and join the world for Earth Hour. Saturday march 28th, 8:30-9:30pm.

Oh wells, somebody said I should ad Earth Hour 2009. Yes I'm selfish I still do care a bit for the earth because I'm still living here for .. most probably 80 more years? =D so everyone should make Earth a better place.

Did an acoustic cover of Big Bang's Everything. It's quite lame but I just can't help it. *hides*

If your ears can tolerate it, more videos can be found here.

the unrequited dream

It's already the 8th.
She did not return my call.
This means they've decided not to hire me.
No job.
Anyone knows where I can find a job with good pay? (close to RM 1000)

Since I was so bored, I recorded a video of myself doing a cover of Big Bang - Make Love on the acoustic guitar, without vocals of course.

Chords :
F
G
Am

Standard tuning, Capo on 1st fret.

i'm in the mood for cakes

An acoustic cover of The Script - The Man Who Can't Be Moved.

I'm in love with most of their songs from their new album. Very well written.. Lovely.

vitas vitas vitas

VITAS IS MY NEW OBSESSION! MY NEW ADDICTION!
I'm so ecstatic now thanks to the person who introduced me to him. Fucking amazing talent. Do search for his stuff on youtube.

Did a cover of Jason Mraz's I'm Yours.
Someone said I look like a kid. (ass, I'll remember you, lol)

Throwing Rubbish is a Skill

Seriously what Mrs Lee said today made me laugh so badly.
A few of the nominated head prefects were funny too when they were campaigning for themselves. Let's not state who's the funny one alright. *giggles* Anyway they should have took more time to do their campaign thing. It was so short compared to last year's and last year's candidates were so much more aggressive. Tsk.

Did a cover of David Cook's version of Always Be My Baby. I gave up on this song ages ago due to the bridge part which is really hard to sing. Notes too high for me. However, hearing my classmate singing this song motivated me to try covering this song again. So I cheated, I didn't bother singing the bridge part. Used mobile phone to record since the stupid mic wasn't working. I don't think it'll ever work. I should just consider throwing it into the rubbish bin or something. Dumb.

I'm having fucking gastric and I don't think I'll study for tonight. Good reason to slack. Yay.

Another Lazy Sunday

EDITED

Feeling extremely lazy and moody today. Lazed in bed in the evening while my mom went for mass. Didn't know why she told me to stay at home instead of following her. Weird? She said something about late. Was half asleep so didn't really understand what she was talking about. Anyway I did a cover of Eric Clapton's Unplugged version of Wonderful Tonight.

I used something to make the volume louder. Haha.

So yeah, there's Big Apple in JJ now. There goes my dream of opening a donut shop in Ipoh. *cries* but~ I still have the chance of opening J Co. =D

So Not Me

Apparently my mom got this because she bought a few cans of Tuna? Whatever. She said it's ugly but I think it looks good. Somehow I have a thing for tins. They're pretty. Mom even said I'm weird because I like ugly things that people usually hate. Thanks, I know I have really unique taste. Eesh. She wanted to give it to her friend's daughter but I insisted that she give it to me. Yes, I'm such a bad ass for not giving it to a little kid. So what?

We had Sports Day today. I think it was our 61st? Never mind, I don't think you people actually bother anyway. Couldn't feel the 'oomph' today or maybe I was just too distracted by something else if you know what I mean. Haha. Rangers won,.. GB lost. How sad. Heard from my friend that those GB girls were all arguing, blaming each other and crying. Lol. For the sports house category, Victoria won. *wtf face* Eesh. I'm so disappointed. Therefore I'm not gonna write much because people will start hating me if I really write what I feel.

Nowadays I'm a tad addicted to the song, Umbrella. No, not the original one. I'm loving the covers of that stupid song. Most probably I'm starting to like that damn song because Ken Ann kept singing that idiotic tune last week. EESH. Look at what you did. I hate you, really.

A very nice acoustic cover by Boyce Avenue :
I'm learning this version, haha.

Ezri suggested that I should watch this,
a super cool rock cover by Vanilla Sky :

I'm gonna cover this song really soon.
Lol, and I'm waiting for Ken Ann to do another cover with me. I bet that cover will be really funny and *coughs*, more famous. xD

Stop Worrying

Parents are back from KL. The best thing I like about them going to KL is donuts. Yes, they'll be home with donuts. Lest you don't know, I'm obsessed with donuts. Not normal ones. Donuts with toppings. This time they brought home Big Apple donuts.

Love of my life. Lol.

Then in the car after dinner, I got lectured kao kao by mom because of well you know what. I'm sure my readers know what. *laughs* Back at home, got lectured kao kao again. See, that's why I say people should just stop worrying so much. I think I'm starting to get really immune to lecturing because it's always about the same thing over and over again. Even if I answered and explained, the lecturing won't stop so I'll just listen and shut up the next time she lectures. Great.

Today is Easter? Or was it yesterday? Geez, I'm so confused because friend wished me last night but my mom forced me to wish her this evening. Well, anyway Happy Easter everyone. If you're kind enough, you should drop me a few easter eggs.

School starts again tomorrow. Feeling extremely lazy after such a friggin long weekend. Slacked too much. Sports Day will be on this Saturday so I bet this will be a hectic week for most people and I have the PNB quiz the next monday. Gotta start doing more revision. Want the money they're offering so badly. People please pray that our revision will be effective okay? =D

Since I'm still in the mood to sing, I did a cover of Chris Brown's With You. The lyrics are just good and simple.
