Another Saturday, another day of my life inside a rat cage. Well, not really. Its just a figure of speech.
Call me crazy, but i do feel that for the whole month of January, the clouds have not set a drop of water here in Singapore. The news doods predicted that there will be rain for the whole month. All i see is the bright, clear sky above. No dark clouds, no heavy drizzle, no nothing. Hahaha! Oh well, i guess you cant just believe in predictions now, can you?
(Talking in a very draggy accent): Ahh.. man. Next week is gonna be totally crazy for me. I have to attend this, i have to attend that.. Crazy stuff i tell ya. I mean, what does making yogurt have to do with us? even my mom thinks its dumb. Hooray for MOTHERs.. yea. And i have that audition thing to do with my squeaky voiced partner which is really ripping my brains apart. And to top it off, i have a very IMPT assignment i have to do by Monday. Urghh..
(Talking like a normal person): I didnt jam with my mates just now. I didnt feel like it, makes me sick or something. Not sick of them or the band, sick because, well.. i dont have the mood to sing for them i guess. Furthermore, i wasnt suppose to go out today, but i did anyway. I've been going out and coming home late for the past week and it kinda ticked my mom's nerves i guess. I try not to go home late everyday but i cant help it. Things just came up when you least expect it.
(as for the question on the title...): I think listening to heavy metal isnt that good. Chinese opera kinda helps you to relax and palm your mind. Well, thats my opinion. Haha!

Chinese Garden pt. 2
Ok, this time i really did went to Chinese Garden. I took some pictures there too, dont mind my 2.0 megapixel camera phone.
Yesterday, we rocked out at our usual jamming place, the X-jamming studio.
Our lead guitarist and our bassist was there but our drummer and our rhythm couldn't make it.
And to top it off, i was having a cold and a really bad sore throat.
For that hour, i learned to play the drums and see our lead guitarist play some mad skills.
After jamming, both Wan and Amin had to leave coz they're going out or something. So as my sister. So, we parted. Leaving me at the bus stop, thinking whether i should follow my sister and be a bother or just go home and sleep. Then i remembered, im in Chinese Garden! Why dont i just kill time at the garden instead?
They call it the 'Paradise of Lovers' and i can see why. Firstly, the sights are breathtaking. The garden gives off this 'peaceful' feeling to everyone that goes there. Like as though time suddenly pauses and it lets you enjoy every moment of the garden. Before you know it, its already night time.
Every corner that i went to inside the garden, i wont fail to see couples everywhere. Seriously.
The straight-on-the-head couples and the not-so-straight-on-the-head couples. Each and every one that goes to the garden, brings a partner along with them. Well, except for me. Heh heh..
Tips: Before you step inside the garden, be sure to buy your drinks/food at the Cheers store outside the Chinese Garden MRT. Reason being, there's no food stand or water coolers in there. There are only vending machines that steals your money all over the place. Get this, a can of Coke costs $1.70 but you can get a bottle of Coke at Cheers at only $1.30. Do the math, see which is cheaper.

Never steal a candy from a baby.. or rather, dont steal at all.
Dreams are always broken, that's why you have to embrace them.
Some dreams are granted to you and others, you just have to work hard for it.
I have a dream, a realistic one in fact. My dream is to be someone of a good use in this world.
What do i mean by that is, being someone that people could rely on, not someone who can be looked up to, but a handy-man kinda thing.
I noticed that everytime i talk to my mother, she would always bring up the topic of the economy being in an unstable position. and everytime she complains about the prices of our daily food intake and our monthly gross spending are getting higher, i cant shake off the feeling that im contributing to her troubles.
When i was 9, i've always thought that the world will not change and i would live like this till its my turn to support my mom. As years grows by and i start to think more maturely, i realized that its no use thinking like what i did in the past.
My mom really wants me to get to a higher education so that im able to support the family. She is trying her best on her part to motivate me and i will always try to show her results. But what really pulls my head apart is thinking, am i being a burden in her life?
She knows very well that she couldnt handle all 5 of us at the same time. Our spending's, our food intake, house appliances and stuff.. And she still insists on us taking on a higher education.
And that's what ticks me off sometimes. I really wanna help her with the house, lessen her burden and be a person who can really help out in the family, a person who can be relied on. I try not to ask her for money at all and i always try to cut down on everything i take. But when it comes to a time when im totally out of cash and needs some for my daily spending, i have no choice but to ask her for it, which sucks and it feels like as though my still relying on her like a baby to its pacifier.
So, in conclusion im still not the handy-man yet, but i will achieve it someday.
For now, i guess i have to be treated like a baby. (Laughs)

Chinese Garden
i didnt actually go to Chinese Garden, but i went to a jamming place near the MRT.
I should be more specific. Heh heh..
Yesterday, me and 3 of my band mates went to X-jamming place to rock.
We did quite a few covers but i didnt manage to take any video of them playing.
(maybe i should save up to buy a camcorder.)
The band's name is called Avengers Of Sins, AOS for short.
Catchy, since all we do is rock our socks!! Haha!
The whole band consists of:
Lead Guitarist- Azwan (who wasnt there last night coz he had to work.)
Rhythm- Firdaus a.k.a Acem with some mad skills that i didnt know of. Haha!
Bassist- Amin a.k.a Jam Chicken
Drummer- Hakimi the muscle man. Haha!
And lastly, me. Their Vocalist.
We did a few covers of A7X songs, some bullet, and we manage to finish it within an hour! Well, 1h 15mins to be exact we purposely took an extra 15 mins for our last song. Hehe.
I didnt really sing that much coz i forgot some of the lyrics for the songs that they played so, i just screamed and make some nonsensical sounds to suit the mood. Hyper!
I should start listening to A7X again, for the lyrics at least.
After jamming, we went to hang out at a nearby block and i had to take a picture of Acem's guitar. DAMNIT!!!! Its an LTD for goodness sake! I mean, its not like its a Gibson Les Paul or anything, but an LTD can make butterflies fly out of your wallet, lay eggs in your bank account and make more butterflies fly out of your bank account! (I dont get it either, bear with me.)
LTD sponsored by A&W. heh heh..
We had some awesome time and we even drank Chrysanthemum, with chachos chips and a dash of A&W. Madness i tell ya.. I had to go to the toilet 2 times last night but, it was for a good cause. (i think..)

At Lakh's house
Today is the first time i see lakh in his full form.
Today he take out his 'turban' and untie his hair.
And i gotta tell you, his hair is FREAKING LONGG!!!
Haha!!
His hair touches around the back of his butt. Haha!!
Imagine how long is that. Well, its nothing to be amazed about la.
I've seen people with longer hair than him.
But its kinda cool seing one of your friend having some massive long hair.
How i wish i have some massive long hair like his. Kidding. haha!!
Later im following Lakh and Haris to Peninsula to check Lakh's specs.
I think he broke his specs or what la..
And since we're going there, im thinking of buying a band t-shirt.
I just got to know that Lakh shifted his house from Taman Ho Swee to Jln Membina.
Well, actually its not that big of a difference. Just a bus stops away.
His house is a 4 room flat with a good view of the sky.
The area around his house is quite quiet and calm.
Like as though its isolated or something. Heh heh..
Well overall, i congratulate him on his new house and i hope that he'll have a wonderful time with the mak cik under the block. Hahah!!
And btw star, nice video on youtube. Only that i cant hear your voice that much.

Do you love her to the extend that you will marry her?
A really weird question asked by my mother.
All i could just do is stand right in front of her and crumble.
I mean, how can you expect a 16 year old kid answer to that kind of question?
I still have alot of things to do, alot more to discover and worst of all, how come she is taking about it when she knows that im not ready for marriage yet!
It took me a while to realize that she is not kidding and she meant what she said.
I sat down opposite to her at the kitchen table and sighed.
She was kinda surprised to my respond and she just took a sip of water.
I just dunno how to react to that kind of question.
It started when i asked her if i could go out on the 9th August to watch fireworks with my girlfriend.
She gave me a thumbs up and asked why.
I told her that i wanted to watch fireworks with her and thats when she started to ask the weird question, "Do you love her to the extend that you will marry her?"
When she left the kitchen and went to her room, i started to think.
Im already 16, two more years i'll be 18.
I have a choice to further my studies or just go ahead to NS.
When im out of NS, or school, i must get a job that matches my degree.
After that, im getting a driving license. Motor or car, i'll think about it.
If everything goes well, and i have the money i need, i'll get married.
But, to whom???????? To my girlfriend? to another woman? or worst, a dude??
Its easy to say but difficult to do.
There are alot of what if's circling inside my head right now.
Too much question 'un-answered'. I wonder if that's even a word.
I think too much and mostly for all the unimportant things.
And btw, im not gonna transfer to Canberra.
I figured that if i have to wait any longer, im gonna explode.
So, the heroic me went to have a chat with my principal.
Well, it wasnt me actually. It was my mom. heh..
So, my no. 3 resolution, scratch that.
My new resolution is to eat another tuna sandwich. Heh heh..
Not just any sandwich, a sandwich made with LOVE.
Haha. crud.
