ten

…days left of my study week… i’d better get some work done… and yeah… the g3 live in tokyo 2005 cd and dvd has been released… only just a few days ago… was browsin’ torrentspy when i found out about that gonna give it a listen after finishing dream theater’s a sort of homecoming bootleg… which i just obtained… and so just u’d know… petrucci is in both of the concert recordings…

gonna go… start doin’ somethin’ productive

sleepless pt. III

sleepless pt. II

well it’s been 25 hours and i haven’t slept yet… the recording wasn’t really fruitful due to many reasons… but i did manage to record the whole drum track relying solely on the metronome clicking through my headphones… it was quite boring having to play pitchless music… if u know what i mean… haha…

back in my room now… after a refreshing bath… it’s definitely bedtime for me… don’t wanna fall sick at the wrong time…

sleepless in singapore

Well… i’m currently blogging from a very pretty-lookin’ iMac G5 in Singapore’s School of Audio Engineering… we’re doin’ an overnight recording session here… very cool and cosy place it is… have been tired from bangin’ on the drums since midnight… still in the midst of recording ‘nothing else matters’… track by track… and mixing with pro tools… the software of professionals

it’s 6am already… i guess i’ll only get to sleep in the evenin’… gotta get back to business…

stuffed

thanks to a brilliant recommendation from a friend… i had a sinfully enourmous carnivorous buffet at McD… well… i’ve never knew ’bout such a promo all throughout these years during ramadhan…. so i decided to grab this opportunity to indulge myself to my heart’s content… and boy were we stuffed…

a malay guy there was jokin’ with us and kept on makin’ funny remarks… like he was an old friend… when we first entered the outlet and was greeted with a poster stating ‘makan sampai puas… satu harga sahaja’… he suddenly turned to us and said… ‘makan sampai mati’… then we just smiled… and as we were lining up to register… he asked ‘ada puasa ke tak… puasa je boleh buffet’… we just jokingly replied ‘yes’… and after we got our food… we immediately got down to business… erm… eating before their imsak time… and he was like ‘cepatnya dah buka’… well… the rest of the time we were busy stuffing ourselves… and so was he i suppose… i thought that it would be the last we saw of him… when he suddenly he walked past… and remarked that we were knocked out… and before he left for the door… he showed us an apple pie stuffed in his slacks pocket which he was gonna sneak out… smiled and pointed to his head… amusing antics from a clowny character…

downtown jb is very much alive at night… a hive of (mostly illegal and questionable) activity… streets full of shady characters… well… i’ve never been a fan of this hell of a city really… HELL of a city…

study week is for studying… i hope i will not realise it too late…

piece by piece

yesterday was pretty fruitful… serpent sans drummer were in my room… goin’ over the new song and newly-written parts which we just composed yesterday… i hope to record more of it today… and finish up the solo part which i am supposed to write (and play)…

we were chattin’ till six in the a.m… man have i been sleepin’ early nowadays… it’s been bedtime at five or six for the past whole week… which i would not wanna continue for long… unless of course the band hangs out at my place again… then it’s rather inevitable… hehe…

the butterfly effect (i know it was out more than a year ago)… is a pretty enjoyable movie… i just found it tucked in one corner of my hard disk… hmmm… i shouldn’t say corner cos it is physically circular… i must have forgotten that i downloaded it… so anyway… it was a nice watch…

two whole weeks to enjoy, compose, watch xvids… and probably revise? and maybe some other projects too… which i will announce when i’m done…

escape

my good friend in ipoh just told me that he was in a rather bad accident last week… but luckily he managed to escape with rather minor injuries… the care was in quite a wreck though… and stranded in the middle of the roundabout after the crash…

lesson to be learnt?… don’t drink and drive kids…
i’m glad he’s still around to borrow my dvds…
can’t take life for granted…

digg-ing

i’ve added a live news feed from digg… a cool site on all things techy… and geeky?
meanwhile below are some pics from asian beat… long overdue…

the nameless one

today i shall pose a challenge to all ye faithful readers out there…

create a folder anywhere in ur windows pc and name it con… yes… u may name it in lowercase or uppercase or both…

if u can do it… get back to me and claim a mystery gift

it’s easier said than done… this is certainly a good example of that overused saying…

full to the brim

my friend came over to copy (part of) my enormous mp3 collection into his hdd… and this was the result…

this is what i call makin’ full use of ones resources… hehe…

its 5am and we are all still awake… screw the classes i guess…
