just random stuff

i seem to apologize a lot in my blog for not posting as often as i would like. i can't seem to find the time (even though i have plenty) or topics to update this blog of mine. and today's post is no different. just random ramblings, i'm afraid.

i've been keeping myself busy with self-guitar lessons. i have to say, i'm getting decent. not good yet. far from it actually but i've made tenfolds of improvement in these last 2 weeks than i have when i started 4 years ago! i love music. no. i'm PASSIONATE about music. i NEED to learn something that involves music. i started out with drums. then, while i was on board a ship, i had no access to one. instead they had an electric piano, which i gave it a whirl and loved it. my sister bought one back home. can't wait to have a crack at that soon. now, i'm back here in the uk and no where, could i find a drum set or a piano. then, i saw a guitar being left not played in one of my junior's room. and with it, i branched out my passion.

as you may have already know about my love for the internet, my love for it grew stronger. with the help of youtube, i practice efficiently and with speed. although, i can't do cover song very well yet. but seeing a video of me on youtube would not be an impossibility. ':)

although, not anytime soon because of my hair.. ':( yes.. some noticed my msn nick being "uk stylist, not for asian hair". i've had my hair cut here 3 times now and not once was i satisfied of the outcome. it seems, they have the tendency to completely butcher my hair. it's as though, they haven't cut hair in a VERY LONG while and when they saw my long thick hair, they blacked out and went on a cutting frenzy! ':s

only one witnessed the massacre.. and i'm keeping it only one. now, i walk around with my faithful beanie on my head, covering the sad looking bird's nest. i thank the stars that my hair grows like bamboo. in a month's time, it'll be decent enough to show to the public.

that's it for now. i shall leave you with a few videos that i've been constantly watching. oh, girls.. if you want my attention. learn to play the guitar. and i'm all yours.. hehe.






for this song, i was actually the one who suggested the title 'come away'. i just helped a future music star. nice.. ':)

aching fingers and ugly betty

sorry for the lack of posts. i had nothing worthy to share. as i type this, my brain is still working hard trying to find a topic to talk about. but alas, it just shrugs and leaves me with just random things to talk about.

i had a really early weekend this time. one of my lecturers called off a class, which left us with only one class in the early morning. by 10.30am, my weekend started! went to the city with the guys to buy supplies for a huge dinner gathering. it was a celebration of our 3rd year of flying off to uk and started our career. and starting from this year, we now call it 'the anniversary of our regret'. haha!

i miss my drums. i miss listening to the drums in new music and try to find out the beats so that i could play it myself. so now, i am trying to learn the guitar! oh.. how i hated the guitar.. i've been trying to learn it but to no avail.. in the end, i would just get finger cramps and aching fingers. but now, i've had a change of hearts. i'm starting to get the hang of it. and i think i'm getting better, even if i do say so myself.

most of my weekend was spent cooped up in my room, watching ugly betty on my laptop! it's like devil wears prada but in a tv series. i think amanda is really hot.

anyway, that's it from me. just a short shout out to my sis: have fun at home. ':)
