Enter Sandman - Wednesday, September 05, 2007 at 11:06 AM
Cannot... sleep...
i'm beginning to see a trend here. When i can't sleep, i write/type. Besides, i got to chalk up an entry for september. And it is good practice too, considering all i write nowadays are equations and... actually, pretty much that, equations. You have no idea how engineering can dull the "literary/arts" part of your brain. The other day i was just sitting down with Cho, and we were both trying to figure out what the leaflets they hand out in church on Sundays are called. Eventually we did (actually he did) dig up the elusive term, "bulletin", after which, Cho just shook his head and said "must be army. destroys brain cells". I had no excuse, so i just let the "man-that-made-me-look-real-dumb" moment pass, which happens rather often if you must know. Hurhur
Ok, i'm still wide awake. Shall pen down random happenings, in no particular order of importance:
1) No $1600 white thunderbird, then let slip a $1600 black thunderbird, and most recently, a $1400(!!!) sunburst thunderbird. All includes shipping to my doorstep mind you. Too bad my emails and purchase requests gets ignored by the ishibashi staff... looks like i'll be camping at their site for quite a while
2) Demeter Compulator, should be in my grubby digits by this week. Which will form the "big three" in my signal chain, the demeter, xotic bass bb preamp and the EHX Lil big muff pi. Meaning... i might be potentially be getting rid of my ibanez ts-9dx, subdecay noisebox, EHX small clone, boss geb-7 & oc-2 and definitely the mxr supercomp. Shall keep the sansamp for my passive pbass... for now. Don't mind me, just writing this down for recording purposes, not to show off muh gear. Well... maybe just a little. Who am i kidding? =)
3) Gear aside... School. Waaaaay behind in work. Shall catch up by next week. Same old story every semester... always playing catching.
4) Cooking movies are the in thing man! Wanna watch rattatoohowtheheckdoyouspellit and the other cooking show with aaron eckhart and catherine zeta jones. Man... i'm real bad at remembering details. Nothing new here
5) Stories of love on channel 5! I can't believe i'm saying this, i'm actually looking forward to a locally produced television show. Well, can you blame me after having to swallow down "after hours" and "my sassy neighbour"? Just when it seems the only quality shows Singapore are able to produce are documentaries (think "get real"), they come up with something original.
Tomorrow's one looks really good, with lim kay tong/siu (one of 'em. told you i'm bad with details...) and err... some other actress. The storyline looks very promising, given that last week's one was pretty well written in my opinion. And the acting's pretty good too actually. Never seen any of them before(ay, what's up mediacorp? can you pls give actors who can actually act more gigs?), but the guy with the disability, if he doesn't actually have it, potrayed the character pretty well! And the vietnamese actress was pretty good too. In fact, mediacorp should just import her over. Even if she speaks broken english, her acting more than makes up for it. And she looks good to boot. Maybe there is hope for local tv after all...
6) Baybeats 2008! Ok, it seems pretty impossible having listened to the likes of vertical rush, WGB, allura etc. but i'll be hitting myself years from now if i don't even try. At least i get to be stamped "lousy" by the baybeats committee. Ok, nvm, but consolation point. To sum up, in the words of my ex-dota kakhi WW, "hood ah!"
7) Speaking of which, i've deleted dota. It has been a month. I still break into cold sweat when i hear the terms "ownage" and "noob" which, unfortunately, are very widely incorporated into the daily vocabulary of any given engineering student. Apart from breaking into occasional fits, i'm coping.
8) Currently listening to: We've Got a Big Mess On Our Hands - The Academy Is... Face Down - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls Walk Away - Funeral For a Friend We Are One Tonight - Switchfoot Read My Mind - The Killers Sunday Morning - Maroon 5 DKNY - West Grand Boulevard (Thank goodness they got rid of daphne khoo... *phew*)
Ok, i'm feeling drowsy (finally). Until next month, or not -
