Hohoho...Tis the season to be.....

Ah...it is christmas again and 7 days later, 2008 will come to a close.

And I am working in Subway after quitting dome. Lower pay, but I am not complaining.

How time flies and yet I have not really organised my many thoughts. Ok, at least I decided to be a professional musician (Slash, Nuno Bettencourt, etc.) while pursuing a Bizad degree... [but I am more interested in making music]

Erm ok this week I have tried some songs.

Love Will Keep us Alive by Eagles
Carrie by Europe
Waiting for the World to Change by John Mayer

These songs are pretty okay. At least a breather from Bon Jovi [wanted to try Living on a Prayer, but i guess i need to make sure my pinch harmonics are there]

Other than that, Ishall end my post. Smell ya!

Tell me Baby

Weekends have always been an eventful part of my life and I hope it stays this way.

If you want to know why, here are the reasons (or u can use any other word)
1. Every guitar lesson seems so different. There is always something new to learn.
2. Weekends are great escapes from school-laden weekdays or horrifyingly and shockingly boring holidays
3. Get to see friends

It seems that point 3 strikes a chord in me. My friend was asking me a question after a drinking session with him.

"Eh sean, the past 2 years of your life, your friends never go out drinking?" he asked while we were in the taxi.

"Not really. Basketball, soccer and ordinary outings were the standard kind of stuff we do, i suppose..."

"hmmm, i see."

Seriously, would I want clubbing or drinking to rule my life? Or play more sports and more guitar and do more volunteering?
Most of my heart cries out for the latter.

Gift of wisdom, pls ignite!

May I use the gift of wisdom God has given me to decide

Walk On

Oh i am back again.

Applied for 4 more jobs today. That will round it off to about 7 jobs applied and 0 responses. (Never knew Singapore is suffering from poor HR quality syndrome)

Attempted to play a few songs this week:

Get the Funk Out by extreme
Tell me Baby by RHCP
Walk On by U2
The Reason by Hoobastank
Only One by Yellowcard

I would say Get the Funk Out is not within my reach at the moment. (shows how replicating Nuno Bettencourt isn't that easy after all) The rest are fairly easy just that I need to train my ears more often to increase the ease of playing good covers. And I finally experienced some break through in doing pinch harmonics and incorporating them into licks! Phew!

Other than that, I am decaying at home and need to get back to my running. Argh.

Listen to walk on by U2. It is quite a relaxing yet inspirational song. The riff and Bono's voice are still ringing in my head.

I need a job fast too. Crap.

Manchester United drew. Never mind. At least we get to play the away tie on the 1st leg. The downside is we gonna meet big guns like Real and Inter. BUT the advantage is that United, as champions of europe, will have the pleasure of bashing the daylights out of them. (haha hubert, I will pity real in the coming March)

Long time no blog man

This blog is almost dead, thanks to my ignorance of this blog. Simply amazing.

Now I'm gonna revive it.

Today is really one of the days that i really spent my life to the fullest, eg catching up with frens and trying out new stuff. And that will continue tomorrow..my poor wallet is gonna get another hole.

I better get a job fast. Going out with ur frens really consume your money faster than you earn it. This may be a cliche, but people seems to forget about this simple fact of life. And yeah...SAVE.

And hopefully make further inroads into my guitar playing. I promise that you guys will catch this potential legendary rocker real soon!

P.S. Reason why my blog is now receiving life from me: reading my fren's blog really compelled me to open up for once.

Anyway, to my friend poon: Look forward and leave your troubles behind. I am sure great things will come your way, regardless of anything.
