high-tech earthquake

It dawned on me just how over-reliant we are on technology. Always taking my broadband internet connection for granted, everytime I load a web page anything above 3o seconds of loading time and I usually close the browser. So imagine my trauma when my youtube drama serial did not load after I left it there for an hour. I swear I went to check my phonebook for Singnet's number to complain and threaten to switch back to SCV. Life was hell, rotting at home, no job, no youtube, basically unable to access most websites other than Football365.com.

Even football can get boring sometimes. Cue: Liverpool, Chelsea, and anyone playing in Italy.

Anyway, I thought Singnet screwed up big time, letting a precious customer like me get pissed at my internet connection. Well, it turned out that the cause of this sluggish internet connection was due to some earthquake destroying undersea cables through which we are able to access the internet at very high speeds. And apparently it will take between a few days to a few weeks to get it fully operational.

So the point is, life is really so unpredictable, and so is technology. Even the fastest computers have one very big weak point, that is they rely on electricity and other computers to make them relevant. Imagine if you are the only person in this world with a PC. All you can do with it is to chat to yourself, because there is no way to interact with others. Indeed a far cry from what we use the internet for nowadays.

DISCLAIMER: I'm really writing this cause I am god damn bored. My sis could watch her favourite dramas on youtube, but mine just can't seem to load! Sobs.

And I realised, the really ground breaking rock bands do not rely on over-complicated riffs but simple but very nice ones, like ACDC, most of their songs are really simple to play (no, I'm not talking about the guitar solos, as far as I'm concerned Agnus Young is a bit crazy)

i need a loan!

AH! are there any kind souls out there who are willing to loan me about 500-600 dollars? I will confirm pay back one, as people who know me will testify. And with interest, 10% means I will return 550 within three months of the loan...

Partly thanks to the delay in being able to get a job, since its so near the festive season and new year already guess they would wait until new year then will think about hiring. However I think I spent a bit too much these few months, end up not saving much money and spending a lot, so now I need about that amount to pay for my Burny guitar! Like shit... and my mum will kill me since its about 500 dollars difference, and initially she already sponsor quite a lot.

Please contact me if anyone is interested.... thanks!

Kurenai

Whoa, those idol dramas can be addictive. Now before some losers start raising their fingers to point at me and say "eek, gay...", let me clarify that watching such shows are not acts of deviant sexuality. To actually associate an innocuous teen drama about puppy love, high-school relationships, the up-and-downs of love, et cetera, with the notion of homosexuality is just absurd. Find me a connection between the two please.

Anyway, been watching this Taiwanese drama called"it started with a kiss" alternatively titled "smth-smth-smth-smth" in Chinese. I think the lead female actress is damn cute, whatshername.. Ariel Lin, I think. Never mind that I'm 18 and some guys feel that boys should never watch idol dramas. I don't give a damn about what they think anyway. It's quite a good show, with laughs in every episode and sad turns here and there, which ultimately ends with a happy ending as per requirements. They say there's a sequel, which I think would really suck, because there's really no story if the lead characters already got married in the last episode... Won't spoil more of the story, in case you peeps wanna watch here's the link to the playlist on youtube.

I'm still waiting for replies from my job applications. Maybe they're not interested in replying, then I'd have to wait for the next project that telemarketer firm is getting. I need some work to do.

And I can play Kurenai guitar solo now. Hahahahahahaha. Dang, I rawk.

I feel like changing my blogskin.... like AGAIN. I think i change blogskins faster than I change my bag (which happens once in three or four years) and I'm running out of ideas with which to design a new blogskin with. Hmm.

$$$$$$ If anyone wants custom blogskins you can contact me with the theme you have in mind. Prices range from *FREE* to $200 depending on how happy I am with you. Assholes need not enquire. $$$$$$

Talk about business mindedness. Ha.

whoa..

Prom pics! (part of)














with alan and des














band pic outside mandarin ballroom














band pic in the room














class photo














i think this is cage starting... haha. Not bad, not bad

the biggest problem was that the camera i borrowed from my sis was FAULTY! should not have trusted her way of dealing with her stuff, everything she owns for two years will break down for sure: laptop, handphone, camera, digicam... boyfriend. haha. Never mind, means most of the pics is taken with other people cameras, so i'd be waiting patiently for them to send me (which will take another eternity)

big thanks to flora aileen hwee miang wenxin mandy that *whateveruarecalled* gang for helping us to take pics and vid, and also for being the only group that watched our whole performance

NEVER again will we perform for AJ

clanger

What a shame, AJ really doesn't have a thing for live bands. But it was fun still though, and generally we all learnt smth, including the external band, that never turn up for another AJ gig even if they invite you with the red carpet.

It was FUCKING RUDE to just file out of the room halfway through the external band's performance. And also FUCKING RUDE for that idiot to grab the mike from the singer telling the audience to go club instead of staying to listen. And it's FUCKING RUDE to send in the hotel staff to clear up the room while they were still performing.

We didn't do as well as we'd have liked, off beat, off tune, no mood at all. How to have mood when you are being ignored by everyone off stage? Guess it's ok, look at the first para. Never again.

Yea. Otherwise prom was rather fun. Food was bad, i swear hawker fare is better. And I really paid the tix for nothing, cause nobody bothered to check our tickets. Kudos to the emcees for trying very hard to make it fun for everyone. And I don't know how redemption did, but bubble-gum bands aren't really my cup of tea. The external band was really good, as those who stayed to watch can testify.

The night after was okay. Didn't go to that club thing cause those places really don't suit me. Not too bad, except that i was forced to watch a ManYoo match which of course really pains my heart, seeing them win.

The hotel room was pretty expensive, but I guess we are lucky we got one.... never mind.

I'm really broke, I need to work, SOON.

I really thought you looked good, I couldn't figure out what to say to you.

thriller

Hmm. Prom.

Still in suspense eh? I like.

Watch this space!!!
