Baybeats Day 1
Woo! Today is the first day of Baybeats 2006! Came back home after work to change my clothes and have a quick dinner before rushing to the Esplanade. Just in time to watch the second band "Ingride" play at 8 pm. At 8.30 pm, rushed to the other side to watch "The Great Spy Experiment" play.
I was waiting for this band to perform cause their songs are great! Woo! Great performance. It's a 4 guys and 1 gal band, and guess what? They are all teachers! Wow teachers nowadays have such wild lifestyle. Cause there's 2 locations, The Arena and The Stage, where the bands are playing, so when one performance ends, the other side of the stage starts their performance. The result? Non-stop performance. But tired also lah. Have to walk back and forth after every performance. After The Great Spy Experiment, is a performance by "West Grand Boulevard" with Daphne Khoo as their vocalist. Next is "Tiramisu". Ho ho this band is CRAZY. All of the guys cross dressed as girls and the lead vocalist is damn funny with all his funny expressions and antics. Left after that cause my legs are really tired after standing for so long! Great Night! Wish she was there with me....

France vs Italy
Match at 2 am. The World Cup Finals! France vs Italy! Well to tell you the truth I don't really know who I'll be rooting for. Cause Italy is one of my favourites while France has Zidane. Well Zidane has suddenly made a comeback bringing France into the finals since it's last defeat to Senegal. This uncle is one of the top footballers in the world and easily recognisable with his botak head haha. Damn the match is at 2 am! Why can't it be on a Saturday night? Argh... I think I'll be sleeping instead of watching..

Superman Returns

Watched it today! I would say I'm not disappointed with it as it is a great film. The same greatness and quality of "Batman Begins". It's about 2hrs+ but you won't feel that it's long if you are a superman fan. 4/5 Stars!

Why I Chose to Learn the Guitar
When I was young I first picked up this instrument for fun. I used to go to my aunt's room to ask her to teach me to play. But a normal sized guitar is just too big for me to even carry. So I'll just lay the guitar on the bed and just pluck the strings. After that grown up le, didn't bother with it anymore. Computer gaming took most of my time. But still listen to some songs like Wakin, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Grasshoppers. Ha! I bet you kids dun even know who are Grasshoppers! lol. That was those days in Primary and secondary school. After that started listening to J-Pop like Luna Sea, L'arc~en~ciel, Ayumi etc. I just love Luna Sea's songs. It was until Polytechnic, when I was at a gathering with my classmates when one of them was playing the guitar. It was then I was so impressed that I vow to pick up guitar again. I digged up my dad's old guitar and started to learn by myself. It was quite hard at first, learning how to play chords like C, G, F. From very slow playing to getting faster. Slowly playing from classical guitar to Acoustic Guitar and to electric. It was then at some point where I was stucked. I can no longer teach myself. Plus I even more impressed at those guitarists who can play solos like it's part of everyday's life, especially Luna Sea's Sugizo. It's then where I decided to learn the electric guitar. Now I got a really patient teacher to teach my how to play the guitar all over again cause I had to relearn the good habits and throw away the bad playing habits that I cultivated over the years hahaha! He introduced me to Blues and many other music that I would not have been exposed too. Gotta thank him for his patience haha! I'll strive to be a wonderful guitarist!

Bomb Disposal Day
Damn Shagged Now. Woke up at 5.10 am, meet up with Xianzhi at the bus stop at 6 am. THen picked up Anand at Boon Lay MRT, finally headed to Pasir Laba Camp. It's bloody early in the morning and worst it's raining! WE cannot do anything when there is CAT 1 rain. Wait and wait, then when the rain subsided we moved all our stuffs to the disposal site. THEN it rained again. Waited until 3.00 pm, taking a quick wink during the waiting time. First was blowing up the mortar bomb using non-electric method which is like your conventional movies of lighting up gunpowder, then slowly it burns to the bomb and BOOOM!!! I was quite worried when my partner screwed up some part of the preparation when he touched the dangerous part of the detonator. My life is at stake here!! WEll the usually fierce OIC was pretty nice to us today, maybe because his life depends on us too. Lol. Heng ah. THere are 7 teams to blow up each bomb. We are the 5th team. Once all have been blown up, not finish yet. Still got missile to blow up! Waaa, shit sia! Due to time constraint we have to speed up the blowing, and we have to start running to the blasting site with the missile. And I'm the one carrying the MISSILE strapped to me. Heavy la! I haven't run in boots for a long time carrying such a heavy load. Managed to carry it all the way to the blasting site. AS this is a missile, more explosives needed to destroy it. Put lots of PE on it, set up the explosive train, then return to the splinter proof shell and press the button. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! Wah big explosion sia. Finally destroyed all le and we are able to return back home! Shagged. Non-stop exploding of bombs. We are the only MATT who did a real bomb disposal. Yay!

Silent Hill
Watched this movie with Lance and Wee Long at Cathay. It's pretty creepy! If you think it's a crap movie, you are wrong! It's a good movie with such an engaging storyline and suspense. THough it's a bit sick. THe story follows about this mother searching for her missing daughter in a strange town called Silent Hill. As she searches, daylight becomes darkness quickly and creepy creatures start appearing attacking any humans they see...... I recommend watching this movie!
4/5 stars
After the movie, went to watch The World Cup, Portugal vs Iran. Portugal won 2-0. 11 pm went to clarke quay to meet other friends as they say they wanted to go Butter factory but too bad the age limit is 23 years for guys so they were bounced. Went MOMO instead. OK club, there's one room with live band and the other room is the disco room. But very smokey inside. My clothes stink with all the smoke when I got home! Left at 2.30 am. Yawn feeling sleepy now..

NDP Trial
Just watched some fireworks from my window. Today I guess there was some fireworks firing test for NDP. From the size of the fireworks (Really BIG ones!), this year's one should be good! I think I'll be going down on National Day to take some pictures of the fireworks!

New Guitar on a Our Day
Got my new guitar today! Went down to Guitar77 shop and bought this new baby. Made my choice yesterday after testing another guitar which is the Fender 60th Anniversary Standard Strat, but it didn't impress me well at all. Woo love this baby after playing it, it sounds so damn nice and most importantly feels so smooth. Reached back home and started playing it! Soon more songs for you Shirley! It's the special day again!
