rewinding the past

Ok... so i'm blardy damn long outdated in the first place... thousand apologies to readers out there who waited impatiently for my revival to update this almost-forsaken website... thanks to those who waited patiently however... keep on 'zhar'ing me... gave me all the motivation needed to type down my recent 'siao'ness in life....

to sum up the lost updates... here we go...

21st May (Saturday)

It's my bro's b'day... and we didn't celebrate traditionally.. instead he celebrated it with his own way... By meeting up a celebrity! I doubt many of you readers would know this guy. He's Marty Friedman... (it's not read as Fried-man... it's Freed-man -.-") ex-Megadeth Lead Guitarist... Who would have thought that he would come down to Malaysia for a clinic tour, to
many local guitarists' delight... Many would have worshipped him for his skills on the electric guitar... yes his solos is indeed marvelous.. by looking at him performing on stage Live... wow... you just can't stop admiring him... that goes for me who can't really play guitar... *heh*

got his autograph b4 the show... and a pic with him and my brother... MY FIRST PIC with a REAL CELEBRITY!! (if u can consider Mickey Mouse as a celebrity)... but this is real person... wow!!!!!

Alot of happenings during his live performance.. there was a time when the background music was louder than his guitar volume..so he got pissed at the technician in charge... "Turn my guitar volume up!! I can't hear it myself" as he spoke through the mike... soon the prob rectified... which all the fans were glad... as Marty performed song after song flawlessly...

and there was this Q&A session... which turned up quite entertaining... one of the fans asked him " why don't u play the guitar by Tapping?" *Tapping is a way to play the guitar by hitting the frets with ur finger instead of using the guitar pick" Marty answered: 2 reasons... 1. i don't look cool playing that way.. and 2nd... cos i SUCK at it! hahahaha... i can't stop myself laughing... that's wat we call honesty... :p then another fella asked him " why dont' u do the sweeping?"
*sweeping is a way to play solo by strumming the guitar strings, and ur fingers are pressing the notes as each string is strummed, this is a very fast guitar solo" and Marty's answer? cos i suck at it... Never reveal ur weakness.. remember this! he added..

apart from the solos he played.. old songs from Megadeth are played too such as Hangar 18, Symphony of Destruction, Tornado of Souls and Rust in Peace... which were compiled together... can't stop groggling at his guitar... XD~

had a great day overall... capped up a great b'day gift for my bro himself... who paid the tickets himself for me, tai sou and himself... :p

29th May (Sunday)

what can one do when it's on Sunday? Sleep? Breakfast together with family/friends? go hang kai kai? pat toh? or anything u can come up in ur mind... EXCEPT EXAMS!!! lecturers must have devised an evil plot for us unfortunate students : they sacrifice their own resting day just to see our tormented soul... suffering from lack of sleep and overstress in order to stuff in everything into our brains for the sake of answering 4 Physics questions within an hour and a half....

slow torture... works like poison... time is poison at first... but when the time's up.. it became an antidote... for the paper's over... it's over! i'm safe... for the moment... cos i dunno wat sorta marks i would get in the end... -.-" lepak dulu lah... nanti baru tengok keadaan XD

1st June (Wednesday)

HappY B'Day Alwin!!! finally this joker has become 19... heeh... "the eve of teenager approches, and the dawn of adulthood beckons"... that's my saying for those who have reached the age of 19... :p celebrated with the usual Uni Gang in South City Plaza's Shakey's Pizza... shared the presents and he got a book titled Bourne Trilogy... power betul... damn thick i should say... heehe.. and a blue tie as well... hahaha... his first tie apart from school prefect's tie... -.-"

hopefully this entry is long enough to make you readers' eyes pop out... don't strain urself though... :p will update more often if i have the chance to go online in that internet-forsaken Uniten
