Had a small debate with Jason from Y-hope(a church I used to attend).
"What if God is something that we create mentally, just to give ourselves a sense of purpose?"
...Yeah that's about it. I remembered that I had a lot more to write down just now, but I already summarized it in one sentence.
So I had a good time out with my best friend today. Went to have lunch, jam, and then went to sweelee. Found a Squire Jazz Bass being sold for only $500; Coupled with the sweelee sale on saturday, it could go for $360. But a friend of mine said it wasn't worth it, that I could get a Squire j-bass for cheaper than that. Whoa that's really low, but I rather get a Fender J-bass, infact, I saw one at sweelee too, going for $1650 =\
Guess it's still EB-3 for me.
Learnt a little bit more about guitar bodies and how wood and finishing and paint affect the sound. No wonder Squire isn't as good as Fender.
Anyway, just like before, the same idiot is pissing me off. I didn't meet him today, nor talk to him, but I guess its just the effect of having met him, anyway.
He thinks he's damn smart, and he thinks he's some ultra player, and he has a knack for talking about things that no one cares about because he believes he's the most interesting person in the world...yawnz...
Sometimes, it makes me very self-aware. Like, when you meet a new idiot and you get like,"Whoa shit, I hope I'm not like that......I never wanna be like that". MAYBE, there was a period of time back then when I was like that. OMG.

The same I guy I always talk about continues to get on my nerves, and more incessantly this time. Someone should seriously tell him off. I'll probably do it oneday, if I get angry enough.
Been listening to Saxophone music and Strings music now. Try listening to Kenny G, Alan Silvestri or John Williams. By the way, John Williams composed many themes for movies such as Indiana Jones, etc.
Rainy night tonight; its been a while since I've had one of those, so much easier to fall asleep.

Can't sleep tonight.
So it turns out that a certain someone is in the same school as me. I hope I don't bump into her....

Prey still rocks, one of the best games I ever played. Fortunately for Doom, modification is available and I hope people will make more ballsy guns.
There are bad things in life(duh). One of these things is being too stupid, another is being arrogant. Mr, you are both;
Action bo baction
No sleep these days..less money to spend too since I'm saving up for a talkbox.
Had brunch with Sam, Jin and Rachelle again. Its so fun to eat with my old class mates. So many things to talk about, and laugh about, and laugh at. In short, its humourous around them.
So it turns out that Sam knows Mr Action bo baction(Those are her words btw,lol). Turn out he used to go to her Sem1 class and act cool in front of her classmates all the time, and everyone thought he was getting rather insolent, God, I thought it was just me man.
Yeah, anyway....this is very late, but check out my new song on
www.myspace.com/rejami, the one titled "Good day to live". My 2nd or 3rd try at Jazz music. Inspired by some extremely calm and collected person.

I saw you online tonight, for the first time in months. So many old feelings revived and re-experienced. So many things I have to tell you, things like unspoken love. I didn't tell you about that, you didn't wanna hear of it; things have changed, I don't love you no more.
Been listening to more Daftpunk now, and some jazz by Charlie Parker and Keiko Matsui.
Did you know that there's this song by Daftpunk that incorporates a jazz with a different beat? Electronica, of course, daftpunk is more like trance or house; the only trance artist I like because they do it with style(not their later albums though).
I found a shop that sells talkboxes, the only place in singapore I believe. Very cheap, I'll get one as soon as I save up enough.

I really need a talkbox, I can actually make my own though.

I'm talking about music btw.
Now here I am, blogging at 5 in the morning. I didn't have any sleep the previous night, so today, right after we came home from my mom's birthday around 830pm, I collapsed on the bed. Usually, people bored more often when they're bored, but I'm not bored, I just wake up at the wrong times.
Slowly losing touch with some of my secondary school friends. No matter, never really liked secondary school anyway. After going to poly and looking back, everything in secondary school seems so stupid now; I'm not trying to breed contempt, I mean it. Even though I had a few good times, the majority of my time there was more shitfilled then the sewers beneath a man on ex-lax.
Everyone back from secondary school seems so preoccupied with life right now, they all seem so untouchable; can't even get a reply from them through IMs at all. Once in a while, someone will organize an outing and everyone from secondary school will go out together. The last one they had, as far as I know, was some outing to watch Spiderman 3, but I didn't go because I already saw the movie on the first day it was premiered in Singapore. Bad timing I guess, but as you can tell, if I really wanted to join them, I would go with them and watch it a second time; But I didn't, infact, I think I hate them quite a bit now. Don't know why I was so stupid back then, why I had to choose to hang out with that bunch. I didn't even enjoy myself, but I had to make it look as if I was part of their clique.
Remember that song by Vitamin C? That song about how everyone in highschool will remain in touch and stuff? It doesn't apply to everyone, and some highschool friends are better off forgotten anyway. I know I sound rather prejudiced right now, but I'm not. I'm just saying what I find to be truthful. Besides, Jesus(if he was real) said some very condemning words himself.
I finally found a company that's willing to take my interviews. I'll be a tad bit busier next week becaue of that, as well as some workshops held by JA, and I'll be jamming with Shike and Ben too, probably write a new song, hopefully get to record it. Also need to run some errands here and there. Buy some new stuff and get ready for term2.
To tell the truth, I'm quite satisfied with the stuff I put up on myspace, because I've been getting some good comments on them, and I've been getting more attention because of it these days.
I hope to write some more good stuff soon=)
Oh yeah, maybe I'll start a myspace page for Shike and Ben and me, and put all our old songs up or something, IF we can find time to record.

My blog is full of clues to this and that. The title itself is the first letter of the name of a missing friend of mine. Just so you know, there's more.
Before I hit the covers and travel to dreamland, I want to say a few things.
After 17+ years of living, I feel extremely tired. I feel like I'm nearing the end of my youth, and am about to progress to adulthood. My impression of adulthood is very dull, its probably gonna be about working my ass off 9-5 for a shit pay. the hectic schedule of work will separate some friends from me; Less time for me to do the things I love, like music; Less time to keep in touch with those who are far away; Less time to find a girlfriend; Getting to know more people for the pure sake of business; Its going to get very lonely; Returning part of my earning to my parents; Deadlines deadlines deadlines; Taxes taxes taxes....
I'm nearing the peak of my youth, where feeling good is my forte. Sadly, it will not last very long. I hate growing up, I just wanna feel like this forever, or at least grow up and do something I love to do for a living; Its that or nothing. People ask, "What are you gonna be when you grow up?"
"DEAD" I say. Like I said, I work to live, not live to work. I WANT to LIVE my life, not spend it all on working. I don't care about getting rich, I just wanna do what I love, or else I'll die.
You know, maybe if God made private deals, I could ask him to take me away earlier. I'll simply live my life to the fullest of every second right now, and when I reach like 21, he'll smite me. You'll know when God takes a life; that's when a death occurs in the lamest ways possible. Like falling down and dying. That's a lame way to die, so God is probably behind it.
It would be an ideal plan if only there was a God.
Man, I'm so fucking tired. But admist all that, there is one small little hope to go on living. Hope is like an analgesic drug. Like when people say,"THERES STILL HOPE!", HURRAH! there are still drugs available! Part-ay! But when they say," You've got no hope", yeah, you will probably just die. I'm totally hooked on HOPE man.

Do you know your favorite cartoons? Like, scooby doo, etc? Now you remember when you went to Disneyland or something, and you saw your favorite cartoons as gigantic walking stuffed animals? Of course, when you grew up, you realized they were just actors in suits.
Now that I think about it, being an actor in a suit is a tough job. One reason is because kids always ask dumb questions, and I would probably feel obliged to give them a caved-in face if they came over and said something like,"hey Buzz Lightyear, do you play with your Woody? (Pun-intended)" and then go giggling all over. Maybe that's why actors in suits are supposed to remain mute, so they don't scream "FUCK" to the children.

There's this girl whom I have no particular feelings for. I really wish I could return the feelings you have for me. I'm truly very sorry.
I'm bored as hell at home.

Some extremely bright people are entering JA. Besides that, I can now play Flight of the Bumblebee on the bass, which is quite an improvement for me because I always thought it would be beyond my ability for years.
I STILL have not recieved a reply from ST Aerospace, but I'm still quite hopeful.
RCH has a gig coming up at a soccer event soon, which is a really big event, complete with camera-men and media crew filming the whole thing. Quite confident that we can put up a good show.
Also, the school holidays are next week only.
Live fast, die young.
