Er....no. And....are you trying to imply something about me??!?
-
Nooooo... Gay.

Mid year holidays. For now I'm just gonna relax for this one whole month with my family. Then I'll be back, hopefully jamming and recording some material with friends. Then I'll upload some stuff and show the world how awful I am. I recently bought a Boss MT2 Metalzone distortion pedal and a Dynamic Wah pedal on sale, to add to my arsenal of my Fender Strat and 30 watt Marshall amp. Can't wait to start playing with friends again. Yay.

Hysteria has a very dancey beat, Matt says they got the idea from Franz Ferdinand (incorporating dance beats into rock music). It's in basic 4/4, with the hi-hat opening and closing on every beat (ie everytime you hit the snare and the bass pedal). The beat during the verse is slightly trickier, took me awhile to get it right. Ya, I'm thinking of recording Stockholm Syndrome, Unintended, S4A, SMBH, TIRO, Hyper Music, PiB, Sunburn, MM or Cave one day. My friend has proper recording equipment, I'll get it done sometime. Prolly after the holidays. Dunno how I'm gonna record myself playing drums, I don't have a kit. My drummer friend will be getting one in a couple of months though. We'll see how it goes.

http://www.mxtabs.net/drumtabs.php I first learned drums playing TIRO. Stockholm Syndrome is quite fun to play also. Other notable drum songs are Apocalypse Please, New Born, Space Dementia and Hysteria. I'm planning to learn Assassin and KoC one day, but it seems too hard. EDIT: that website doesn't seem to be operating ATM. Oh well.

One girl kinda gushed and went, "So nice" to her friend. :LOL: Girls like acoustic-picked songs compared to the heavier stuff. I also played "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, which also went down well. It feels corny playing this stuff to girls, but it's a winning formula. Yeah!! Tak malu!!

Oh man...I remember once I was driving and Knights of Cydonia was playing. When the green light was on I sorta did a kinda rocking motion like I was riding a horse to the beat of the music while driving (like the cowboy in the music video). I was so happy with myself until I realised some girl was watching me from another car. She grinned at me and gave the thumbs up signal. Ahah. Ahahaha. Ah.

Well, I see myself as a creative person and creative people share similar (albeit slightly neurotic) characteristics. We are sensitive to external stimuli, are easily excitable, are prone to experiencing racing thoughts, are restless and have a lot of energy, are endlessly curious, individualistic yet open-minded, lack inhibition, are impulsive, a tad eccentric and a little immature . In fact, if you look at all the great writers, composers, artists, poets, scientists, explorers and politicians of the past, most of them are complete nutcases. http://www.uwsp.edu/education/lwilson/creativ/CHARACTE.htm <--- This pretty much sums it up.
-
Your sis is too self-conscious la. Immaturity FTW!! Yeah that's the one. If you're talking about the vid I gave you, I think it's "thank yoouuu-hoo-hor-hor-hey!" or something at the end. He never seems to talk much in concerts and when does, he goes super-fast (think the beginning of Stockholm Syndrome at Glastonbury ). I used to talk that way also, I remember once in class I spluttered out to my friend "Where's-my-eraser-is-that-my-eraser-did-you-take-my-eraser-without-my-permission" in one smooth sentence and everyone just started cracking up.
-
Kesian betul all those people in the cinema. I would've been clapping along to you if I was there though. They would've thrown both of us out for being the weirdos that we are. <--- If you've ever seen Matt rocking out like this, you'd be imitating him all the time. I swear, the man has too much energy. I have already unleashed the godly power of Unintended to a female audience on acoustic guitar before. It is indeed a tried and tested formula. There is no mightier weapon, I tell you.
-
Yes, you are sad. I officially love you now. You gave me a brilliant idea, thanks.
-
^ I occasionally sing the "aaaaaaa, aah-aah-aaahhh" part of Knights of Cydonia at home when no-one's around except my maid. It freaks her out. Just kidding, it cracks her up. She imitates it sometimes just for a laugh.
-
Yeah, all the signs are pointing in that direction. My friend only just pointed this out to me today, he almost scolded me in fact. It's carpe diem.
-
Good point. I think I've given most of my musical knowledge here for you guys already.
-
Welcome back! We'd better get back to talking about Muse again.
-
Ai, long story la. They have played a role in dictating what goes on, since we got to know each other through them. As a girl, you should know that they always herd together. One of my guy friends has just flown back to resume studies in uni, he's close friends with one of the girls in that clique. Another guy friend (he has been abreast of the situation too) has strongly hinted that I should go hang out with him again, but we had an argument awhile back too. However, he has been asking a lot about me also. I think I should just resume friendships and let nature take its course lah. Slowly make my way back again. Wow, once again I have the solutions to my own problems.
-
Well, she did give me plenty of hints. I didn't make a move for reasons that I didn't feel like disclosing to anyone just yet. Plus, she did wait for quite awhile, I must admit. If she's happy, then I guess I'm okay with it. But I secretly still feel the same way. Like her friend said, she couldn't wait forever. Now that she truly understands my problems, she may well be having second thoughts - her friends might think the same way too. Remember, their previous actions were based on their own assumptions and they didn't know the full story just yet. So now, they are contemplating on how to resolve the situation now that they understand. The ball's kinda in their court, in a way. And it's not that easy for a girl to suddenly break off with a guy that she's with, especially since she wasn't fully sure what to make of the situation at the time. The fact that she has to consider the other guy's feelings IS important too btw. However, there have been plenty of discussions among that clique after that incident, I can assure you that. If the incident doesn't mean anything to her, why did the rest of her friends block me on MSN too? I must've made an impact. This happened less than a year ago and yet her friends are still inquiring about me. If they couldn't care less anymore, they would continue to ignore me completely.
-
How to resolve this rather awkward situation and get back to courting her. Anything really.
-
Yeah, I suck at that. The girl I like was basically throwing herself at me all the time, I was just a bit slow on the uptake. She's liked me for 3 years and the signs were pretty obvious, now that I look back. Anyway, I wasn't ready for a relationship of any kind, even though I felt the same way. I had personal problems that I needed to take care of first...this resulted in an argument with some friends of hers. They generally like me (they even seem to want us to be together) but I had some issues with one or two of them. Eventually, they persuaded her to scold me for some things I had said. I explained things to them later and now they completely understand me. However, she now has a boyfriend and it's a long distance relationship. I get the idea that their clique planned to make me jealous and come back to them so that they could use her to hurt me back (I've been away for awhile cuz I wanted to be alone). Not really to "hurt" me, but to just "punish" me for things I had said. They don't hate me or anything - they think I'm a nice guy. They have all acted like they don't really mind when they talk to me, but she acts like there is a problem when she's around me, so it's pretty obvious. I eventually called her and sorta made a confession (which I kinda regret now), which was when she started scolding me. However, I explained things to her and she started to understand. Her voice softened on the phone when I explained certain things to her. I can tell her friends regret a lot of things they've done to try and hurt me back now that they get the big picture. Nowadays, they are always asking about me from the friends that I hang out with. They have blocked me on MSN, but I feel it's mostly because they can't face me anymore. One wrote in her blog, "she can't wait for you forever, no matter how much she's into you" but that seems more of an excuse to justify how they treated me. They probably feel a bit guilty now. Even when we met up recently, there was a look of pure guilt on the face of one of them. Even though she's attached, I still get the feeling she still feels the same way about me. When we hang out, the signs are still the same - it's just that she was unsure what to make of me, ie why I was behaving out of character for awhile. So now, it's a bit of a stalemate between both sides, no one is to blame. One of their friends (she gossips a lot) has asked a lot about me from my friends and is no doubt acting as a spy to see what's going on in my life so she can inform the clique. I get plenty of hints from my friends that I should call them and hang out with them again. She's been with this other guy for a year, but they only see each other for midyear and end of the year holidays. She has known him throughout high school - she knew me for 3 years and yet we only really know each other through friends. But I think I was her first choice. Forgive me if I sound a bit perasan here. So....any suggestions??
-
As much as I give decent advice, I'm pretty crap at actually applying my theories. Well, my story is long and slightly complicated and I'm not sure if it's possible for me to find some sort of resolution at the moment. It may take some time to fully type out....hmm, maybe later lah. I'm a bit tired right now. Remind me ok?

Ask him casual questions about the shop. Talk about clothes. Ask for discounts or a membership card (or whatever) if you patron the store often, make sure he's the one you ask it from. If you succeed, drop by often (on the pretense that you're shopping) and get to know him. Know his name, then slowly develop it into an acquaintance. Show only a mild interest in him that builds up slowly as you go along, as in you're waiting for him to impress/interest you. If he takes the bait, act like you think he's mildly interesting. Make a conscious effort do this gradually, make yourself seem slightly challenging. Confidence and slight mystique is always good. Guys secretly like that kinda thing. Once you get into this rhythm, it will provide an opportunity to develop into a friendship, in which you can find out more things about him (interests, background, is he single etcetc). Find things you have in common with him. Gradually show him the more attractive traits of your character, sense of humour works best. Don't act all girly with him before the friendship stage and never make yourself seem too available, of course. btw, try to determine roughly when his working hours are, so you don't have to waste time when you actually plan to see him. Wow this has turned into a relationship thread. Does anyone wanna hear my story next?
-
OMG has anyone heard Minimum? I just discovered it, this is from the same concert as the bluesy Hyper Music. Matt looks so cheeky in this vid. Everyone has cool hair.
