Above: Mathilda does a 900 with no skateboard, no halfpipe and no cheat codes while watching Plainsunset!


Mathilda teaches us all a lesson here. There are no shortcuts or cheat codes in real life. There is no A-B-UP-DOWN-R1-LEFT-RIGHT-A-B combo. There is only brutal truth, and brutal acceptance. Such is life. And we will go on falling again and again if we don't pick ourselves up, just grit our teeth, and go through everything!


I love all my friends.
Thank you. All of you.


p.s. I have no idea what Isa Ong has to do with anything here, cept that he's one power gedegah guy.

losing faith.

Is it really that important to simply do what you want, to follow your dreams, and to not give a shit about what everyone thinks of you?

Everyone has different dreams and different agendas. Which is probably the main reason why the entire world cannot simply live in peace and get along with each other.

I think that other people's opinions of you do actually matter. It's not about gaining popularity, it's not about gaining fame, it's about giving a shit about other people. In turn, they will give a shit about you.
In all honesty, it really is very hard to find that balance, between doing the stuff you want, and doing the stuff people want of you, and refraining from doing the stuff people don't want you to do. You can't have everyone on your side.

When you want something really bad, but so many signs tell you not to go ahead, would you still take that chance?

Is my personal happiness that important?

So important, that I'll risk everything just to get what I want?

What if I don't believe in myself anymore?

So none of this even matters.

I think I've lost faith in myself.

After all we've said and done about having faith in yourself, and living out your dreams no matter what people say or think, I'm really pissed off that such a positive message is actually contributing to my confusion. What the hell is wrong with me?

This post is not about my band or anything, I'm just slapping a video of our song Faith here for keeps. Because it's meaning is powerful. Because I am too weak to fully embrace this.
When I put my confusion aside though, I really love this song.
I love what it tells people.
I love the way we wrote it.
My current situation just made me question it. But that's all personal.

Hope this song helps you, anyone out there who needs to have a little faith. :)





btw: we're not a christian band, we're just talking about faith in general here. the christian line in there just reinforces that. :)

random

HAHAHA! I'm a receptionist.
Okay, receptionist/logistics guy/equipment guy/sound guy/small fry.
I like my job.
I like my pay.
I like my colleagues.

Really thankful to Razi and Dex for helping me get this job!

Well other than that, I'm just going on, living life and trying really hard to get it right just like everyone else.

I feel pretty crappy now cause of some stuff, but well yea everyone has their fair share of shit to deal with and I've got mine just like all of you. But I hope that though the clarity's vague, I'll be able to figure this out.

Have faith everyone,

Okay byebye.
I didnt even feel like blogging.
Such is life.

HENCE THE PHRASE

Saturday was POWER GEDEPIAH la.
That's GEDEGAH and PIAH together.
Which is damn POWER.

HENCE THE PHRASE.

Thanks everyone who came down to youth park for our show. Even though it feels weird to play there when the sun's still shining (it contributes to the presence of heavy sweatage on the skin) and the sound setup wasn't exactly top notch, and needless to say, we're all still very terrible at playing the horrible catastrophes we call our "songs," we still had alot of fun. Saw alot of new faces in the crowd, which is awesome, familiar faces which is also awesome, and OLD faces which is even more awesome. Miss you guys, thanks so much for coming. It's damn nice to see all our friends in one place, nicely congregating. That was a nice congregation right there. I like that alot, even though I hate large groups and I feel slightly uncomfortable in crowds. I wish we could have that at every show.

What made the day more fun was that all of us were just hanging out after our set, a few friends had to leave but it was well, one nice group, us, for the most part. Watching Plainsunset and all together. Just hanging out and having a good time together. Which was ownage. I miss that. Even Mathilda was there, bursting with joy cause Sonia brought her, she was nicely flying through the air and bouncing all over the place. Everyone loves Mathilda. Just one sad thing though, I wish Hafiz Smalls was there to enjoy that with us. I hate National Mofo-ing Service. Okay I'll rant about how much I hate NS in another post. There's no room for hate in here!

After that, we had some random interview with this group of people on this project called the WHATLAH! Podcast. It was random, but it was fun cause it was the first time we actually did an interview as a group. We had to say our names one by one, and I said my name was Nicholas, which is 100% true and everyone laughed like fuck so we had to redo that. WHAT THAF. When the podcast is out, it'll prolly be on our myspace so, there you go!

Then we had a meeting with Roland and Ron who are gonna be the producers of the next horrible catastrophe we're doing, which we're gonna call our first album. It's gonna be awesome working with these people cause they care about us and what we want, and for some reason, they actually like our stuff! Can't wait to start work on the album, we're supposed to be doing pre production soon, and we'll prolly start doing the actual recording sometime in July. We're gonna take our time though cause we're still writing and changing alot of the songs. Hopefully, we can launch it at the end of the year. Thrilled to the core about that right now, but well, all in due time.

Anyway, my Sunday was damn random. My parents and sister just came back from a short holiday in Malaysia and it was fathers day so when they came back in the evening I spent some time with them, then Marisse called for dinner at Ah Seah. Then I found myself randomly meeting some friends at gardens, then everyone randomly came to my home thanks to Marisse where we all randomly watched Dawn Of The Dead thanks to KC. That show is WHAT THAF all the way. Go and watch it. Now. I swear its damn power. The newer one, not the old classic looking one. These zombies fucking run for a change. Damn power kinda zombies.

Okay bye. I love all my friends, old and new.
Yall are all damn POWER GEDEPIAH.
That's GEDEGAH and PIAH together.
Which is damn POWER.

HENCE THE PHRASE.

impulsive videos!

There are days when you feel emotional,
and there are days when you just can't be bothered with that anymore.
HERE'S TO RANDOM, IMPULSIVE FUN.

this is the most retarded music video ever made.
impulsively put together for the sake of laughter and good fellowship.
enjoy, especially if you appreciate Mathilda.
