Canberra

I actually bought tickets to canberra....how dumb can one be....haih...But it was great...eventhough i didnt do any touring...only watched Dvds, shopping and applied for new passport. I discovered my malay aint as good as it used to be. I was stuggling a little to understand the passport application form which was in malay. And i was also reminded of how Malaysia is...the room looked alot like the immigration office in Malaysia...and even the service was like in malaysia...crap service. Well,at least if people ask me whether i went back to Malaysia this summer, i can tell them "YES" eventhough it was just for an hour because the HiCom is considered Malaysian territory. And also the passport application form was FREE...coolzzz...In Malaysia we have to line up to buy the form for RM 1 and line up again to hand in the form.

MEtal...

This few days i downloaded a lot of songs from bands like Iron maiden, Deep purple, and Dream Theater...cool man.....Iron Maiden's "The Trooper"...cool...and i also got the mp3's where Dream Theater plays Metallica songs...cool, but too bad its live so got alot of unwanted echo and backgroud noise from the crazy crowd. Also got a few very very cool video clips of Victor Wooten. Skill to the max.

Past week....

After one week of ups and downs....I just thank God this week is over and it ended well. This are a few cool things that happened:

Planet Shakers night concert:
Well the concert was good.....the music was really loud, unfortunately the bass was not properly equalised. The bass was too muddy and too much hum without any real definition in the sound. The bassist did a cool bass slap solo, it looked realy realy cool...but too bad it didnt sound as good( too muddy for slap bass)...the bassist should have boosted his treble and used more of the bridge pickup to get the bright twangy tone which would have sounded way better. The guitarist was alright. He didnt do any fancy solos or shreds but his playing was good. Thier new songs are cool and can really ROCK, although i wish they would add some guitar solos in. Russel evans was alright....he is another ROCKER....he must be listening to alot of Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Led zep, King Crimson, and etc during his youth cause he did a very cool guitar solo during his msg. His msg on being passionate for Christ is very simple, but i guess its good cause most of the ppl at the conference are high school kids. After the whole thing ended, i left the place wanting to go to a Metallica concert. The feel of being in a loud, energetic concert is so good. I didnt buy the new planet shakers cd. Didnt think it was worth the 29 bucks....would rather go and get a real rock album. Besides i just got Van Halen cd. Come to think abt it, i dont really go for christian music anymore. Looking at my cd collection beside me, my stack of metal/Rock albums is 3 times higher than my christian albums.

Van Halen Album:
This has got to be one of the coolest albums i got. All the songs here are so cool. Eddie van halens skills really show in the instrumental song "eruption" . Everything from finger tapping, lightning fast shreds,and weird out this world sounds can be heard in that song. And another thing to note is van halens songs are not really dark....what i mean by this is that thier songs use alot of major keys and sounds happy....unlike metallica whos music use alot of minor keys and can be rather depressing and can be quite angst.

eMule:
Clarence recomended this P2p software to me and it is good. I downloaded quite alot of stuff...mostly jimmy hendrix stuff since i donot have his album. Jimmy hendrix ROCKS man. His songs might be a little old school for the taste of modern youths.....but he ROCKS man..his guitar solos are very mind blowing and weird.....but its damn cool. Now i know why he is regarded as the best rock guitarist of all time. I even got a Jimi Hendrix and metallica versions of LEd zep's "stairway to heave,"....quite interesting especailly hendrix's reggae version....but i prefer the original led zeps version....even metallica couldnt recapture led zeps touch in the song eventhough metallica tried to follow the original version exacly. And Bob marleys "I shot the sheriff"....cool stuff...

OCF:
After much anxiety and worry...thank God the constitution thing is over. Got a provisional registration. Now only got to get the accounts done.

Esther:
So exciting man.....she is in sydney. Oh man....just the thought of it makes me happy ....But unfortunately cant really meet up with her coz she is staying in her frends place in kingsford and this trip has already been planed with her frends, so must stick togerher.....awww......anyway it was nice talking to her and cathing up with her...but then wut the crap man...my phone bill going to to be very expensive this month. Hmm....better change my plan to the 20 minute free call to any Optus phone. And she asked me to go down to canberra to have lunch with her,jessica and abel.....should i go ....should i go.....should i gooooo????????????

Aunts hse:
So i also went to my aunts hse. I went there expecting to be eating at home, but they went out to eat because it was one of thier friends bday. I felt so bad coz i just i felt like i was intruding. I wasnt suppose to be there. But nvrmind....thick skin abit...got good food to eat. And got to practice my time crisis 3 ....cool...soon i can go to the arcade and show off...but not in sydney....wait until i go back to malaysia to show off...cheaper there. LAst year so cool man. I went to the arcade in Mid valley and played time crisis 2...and when i started playing, those kids all started to stand behind me watching me shoot and say "wah this guy quite terror"...it felt so good.....hahaha.....i guess once in a while its good to get some cheap thrill. Anyway, back to my aunts hse....when i left she gave me some fried ikan bilis and some dried ikan bilis...she told me to put some in when cooking maggi mee and put some when eating rice...ohhh....Thank God for aunts....
