truth hits everybody

OOH! hello blogspot. damn, i've never felt so broke. im in a financial hole. ive got to watch my spending. my savings are dissapearing. what's that? bong can't eat today? no shit!

anwyay, it's a monday today. it's okay to have the monday blues. everyone has it. however, it sometimes takes over your week and you can never get anything done. here's something i learnt from a teacher in my school. and it explains everything.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR WEEK WHEN YOU SUCCUMB TO MONDAY BLUES.
monday: monday blues
tuesday: hangover from monday blues
wednesday: midweek stress
thursday: looking forward to friday
friday: screw everything, its the weekend!

see how easily monday can screw you over.

Speaking of how time flies by, im like OH SHIT, its gonna be friggin september soon. August flew by like an aeroplane. i cant believe we all just ran through August and are about to come crashing into september. the prelims are coming... woah. shit, i cant wait for the o levels to be over. that will mark this sad little phase of my life - OVER! haha! you know, dear readers, i had a dream a few nights ago. it was the day that i received my cert. i scored a whopping 11 points for my o levels. i proceeded to punch the air in style for a victorious gesture, but i ended up punching some ah beng and i got beat up. while this was happening, my o level cert got torn to shreds. phoey, what a nightmare.

well. like i said, september is coming. meaning, my birthday is coming in a little over a week's time! whee.. im so thankful that my birthday is always during the holidays. 6/9.. what a brilliant number. by the way, my birthday is next wednesday, people. hahaha..

but bummer, ill have to study for my prelims on my birthday. phoey.

WHAM! that was a traffic light, dumbass.

Phew, i feel effectively exhausted. mentally. its been mentally draining. i'm talking about studying, of course. studying is hard. i've never actually really studied before. its about time, since the prelims are coming which means the o levels are coming too. now that ive started to actually study, i've begun to realise just how much work is ahead of me. and i still get lazy sometimes. hoo boy, what have you gotten yourself into this time, bong? this is serious shit. aw drat. i procrastinated again.

i love procrastination, though. i heard its a sin. is it really? sin is failure to love. procrastination is not really an act of love, but then again, there are so many things that arnt exactly 'love' and they arnt called sins. there are much blacker sins in this world than procrastination.
i love it my parents when they ask me to do something. thats where i usually procrastinate to the point where my parents realise that it would take much less time and effort on their part to actually do that something themselves instead of convincing or attempting to teach me how to carry out their troublesome task. i dont see the sin in that beacause everyone's happy - my parents dont waste their time, and i dont have to lift a finger. works both ways. :)
on the other hand, procrastination is the right hand of laziness, which is basically SLOTH. and the latter is one of the seven deadly sins, so indirectly, procrastination IS a sin. case closed.

i seriously think school is the worst place that anyone can choose to study. school is among the most filthy places i've visited. not only physically. school is filled with scumbags by the hundereds. school is where we all get destroyed. school is the last place that you can study.
therefore, we should all quit school and study at home and take the o levels as a private candidate and kick everyones butt cause we all beat the system. hurray!
then again. at home, there are various distractions. the majestic refridgerator, the television, the telephone, the computer hooked up to the rest of the world via the internet, the guitar, the dog, the mom, the dad, the sister, and whatever else you have in your home.
bah.
just make your life something you can sing about.
i guess that will make everything better.
oh hell, go take a shower, dumbfuck.

WHAM!
"that was a traffic light, dumbass."
"ouch."

i love the way she said 'dix road'

Signs dont get you anywhere but they just point you there. it's really up to you to make the move and get your butt to where you want to go. and signs usually mean options. as inviting as it is for me as the rebellious angsty mangsty teen i am to chose to spend time away from home, i simply cannot ignore the fact that home is really where the heart is. its comforting to know that i have a cosy home where my loving family lives. they take me in no matter how much of a bastard i am to them. and for that, i love them. i love this shot of the street sign at the end of the street where my house is. (thank you kenneth chia. hahaha.)
when i look at it, i start thinking of all the crossroads i've trod upon, all the choices i had to make, of which all the bad ones ive made. (which makes up about 90 percent of all the choices i've ever made).
so yup. i just love this photo. thank you kenneth. by the way, its 'dix road' not 'dicks road'. that one was for the record.

and here's another photo i like too. i tried to be sexy and make eye contact with the camera in a feeble attempt to look pretty, but it didnt work out.yup, ladies and gentlemen, this is TRELLA. yippie! from left to right is yours truly followed by leon, safith, harrison, kenneth and joey.
okay guys, get this straight, this is not levesque. levesque is scrapped. we decided to reform Trella and this is it right here. so there you go, freshly baked, waiting for the critics! hahah. yup. we're all indie now so you can shake your booty next time you hear us. yeaaahhh!

alright thats all i have to share with the internet and the rest of the entire world this evening. come back next time. ciow! take care people, and never ever stop appreciating all the shit on cartoon network for what they're worth! (i was watching toonami just now by the way...)
oh dear the prelims are coming. i'd better go study. okay bye!

hidden track

Its a saturday again. its crazy how one week just goes like that. i decided to blog today but i have no idea what to write about. i feel like i have to say so many things but i dont know how to, because what's freakishly amazing is that i have this dire need to pen every single thought i have down as if i fully understand what im feeling now and know exactly what to write.

i really have no idea. life isnt the funfair it used to be. i find i cant just hit and run anymore. well not literally. metaphorically. two years back it would be so much simpler. i could screw up one day but still find comfort in waking up the next day and having it brand new. now, whatever i do seems to have direct effect on the next day. and the next one, and the next one as well. i used to believe that God made every day brand new for us so we could correct our mistakes. seems like that aint true anymore, we just write our own future. its got almost nothing to do with God. oh, screw you, free will.

i've come to wonder, why do i sound so angsty on my blog? im really not like that. perhaps i havent found a way to show it. what do i really feel? call me, i'll pretend everything's allright and nothing's bothering me.

then comes the next question. what the hell is making me so effing flustered? i kind of know it, but i just cant put my finger on it. life has finally thrown me something i wanted for quite some time, but now i dont know how to deal with it.

if growing up's all about making correct decisions, does it mean that if we dont make the so called 'correct' decisions, we dont grow up? we stay children? cause i love being a kid. yeah, growing up is a hell lot of fun. but sometimes, its just fuct. i cant wait for like a few months into the future, when i get to look back at all of this and laugh away. laughter. thats it.

oh, put the angst away. there's no need for that. life isnt perfect. who said it would be? i guess its up to me to decide where my life goes, the direction i steer it at, and everything else. i think life is just one huge bucket of choices. pick and choose, do it fast, get it right, and land yourself a decent, happy and enjoyable life. we should all learn to look beyond ourselves, live life in a manner worth singing about, welcome change, say goodbye gravity and finally,

come back to earth.

settle down!

hello there... its about five in the afternoon on a lazy saturday. we went for west grand boulevard's album launch yesterday, and it was fun i must say. caracal rocked, as always. theyre my favourite local band. i just love their ideas. and i love you, field! hahah.. i didnt actually go for west grand, i just went for caracal. hahah... but when i watched west grand after that, i got just as stoked.

speaking of stoked, im still in that state even though the valley mosh happened a week ago. i find it so cool that people keep telling me that Trella is good. rumours that we intended to disband actually floated around, and people kept asking why waste the talent. im like, hell yeah why waste the talent. cheers to Trella!

okay so, update for you all. heheh. i got myself into yet another band. hahahah! im playing guitar for a new indie band called Levesque. we're made up of avery on drums, joey on lead guitar, me on rythmn guitar and kenneth on vocals! yep... i'm quite excited about this, i love indie and i'm finally in an indie band. yay! we have one original on the way already! stoked already! hahah..

well. that aside, my world isnt so perfect.. Sod has met yet another rut in our development, i hope we can pull through. i'm finding it difficult to care about sod anymore, but i cant just let it go because thats where i started. i think all we need is time. yup... we'll be back... soon.. i think. bah. lets not get all sad. who cares anyway? hahah.

i think i really need to settle down and get to work. prelims are like a month away? and im into so many things, Trella just took off, im in levesque, arrrgh. i wish there was just a few more hours in a day.. i wish we didnt have to sleep. that would save plenty of time, wouldnt it? we spend quite a chunk of our lives sleeping. yet sleeping just feels so good. i love to sleep. when youre happy and you sleep, it feels good, when youre in deep shit and you take a nap, it gets rid of your problems for a while. hell yeah, cheers to sleeping. i wish humans could hibernate. that would be extremely cool! but that cant happen, sadly. sigh.

alright, so i decided to upload a few pictures... i was feeling quite arty in school on a particular day this week(i actually forgot which day, lol) so i drew something, and i scanned it and i edited it. and i think the final product was sweet. hahah.. take a look!There you go. nice right? hahahah. thank you.

heheh. i got this picture from joey. he edited the raw thing and layered words and stuff onto the pic. and he made the mic look as if it was corroding under my breath. lol. but i like it quite a lot... thanks joey!
yup okay. i got to go now. more next time. goodbye gravity!

a gig worth remembering

Hello readers! I'd just like to give a huge THANK YOU to all who came and watched our show on saturday at The Valley Mosh.

alright! so we, Trella, finally had our first gig! and we did make a hell of an impact, i daresay. this gig just gave Trella the boost we needed. thank you, everyone who came to the valley mosh to watch all the bands. thanks for all your support, thanks for being there and watching us, thanks for moshing, thanks for clapping, thanks for singing along and shaking that building with us. it made the whole thing spectacular. i stand by what i strongly believe in; its the people watching that make the gigs happen. hell yeah, thats effing true. thanks alright! i had no idea what to expect, i've never really screamed for a band before, and i'm not even a real keyboardist! and the best part was, i got complimented by many many people after the show, and they all said my screaming was good. hahah! Field came up to me and was like talking about the way we sound, its different and cool either cause our band is weird or we are just good. hahahaha! shut up la bong. damn, im so pleased with myself. i had no idea. well. a few people actually think that Trella was the best band there. haha wow. okay. maybe bad taste is suddenly in. i dont know. bah, to heck with it. im proud of my band. we stepped up and kicked ass. so here's to Trella!!!! gawd, im so stoked. heheheh. stoked!
and everybody, thanks for your compliments, i'm still wow-ed by it. and THANK YOU KC for lending me your bass guitar for pulmonary archery. hahaha avery's bass strap cannot adjust. THANK YOU, DAMMIT, THANK YOU ALL! THANKS PEOPLE, FOR MAKING THE VALLEY MOSH A GIG WORTH REMEMBERING!!!!

Yup it was a great gig, i think The Arrant End was pretty damn good too! I like carl! hahah carl, you sexy thing! okay there you go keith. lol. and 4th avenue shook the ground as well. made the people mosh, as always. but SADLY, caracal didnt get to play cause there were too many complaints. DAMNIT! i was like waiting for Caracal. fucking wasted.. but yeah. if Caracal played, people wouldnt think that we were the best band, cause that would definitely go to Caracal instead. hahahha! but i think it was good fun. here's to another one? but not in the same location, thank you!!!!!!!
so here are a few photographs of the great gig. it was splendid, i daresay. i guess this is a new chapter for Trella. cheers! you guys can expect more great stuff, but yup after our o levels. hahahha! enjoy!


Alright, those were the ones that i think were quite nice. boy, what a night that one was. you can check out all the other photos on Lynn's blog if you want. oh yes, THANKS PRISS AND LYNN for taking the photos!!!! yup, i think that ought to give them their due... haha. okay bye people! thanks for coming again, and see you soon! take care! thanks for being there! and for those of you who wern't there, well there's always next time. keep your heads up! ta!
Oh yes, do go for Caracal's show this friday, at the esplanade chillout stage at 7pm... they're playing for West Grand Boulevard's EP launch! see you there!
