• Japan #01

    Wow. So I finally made it here.

    Not the same way that I thought I would be doing at the start of the year, but hey – I guess it’s better than nothing. I’m currently typing this post on a Japanese keyboard and man it is tough. I keep having to backspace every five seconds. The symbols are all over the place, not like conventional QWERTY keyboards, but hey it’s a minor gripe. I landed in Japan around midnight on Sunday, stayed awake until 5.40 to catch the bus to my hotel only to find out that I can only check in at 2pm. Seeing how it’s 7am on a Sunday right now and nothing is open, I decided to look for an internet cafe to write this out.

    So far from what I’ve seen, Tokyo looks awesome. It’s like Singapore but a billion times bigger. Super clean streets, lovely buildings, people cycling everywhere and so on. I’m definitely having trouble communicating with the locals, but I guess it comes with the territory. Doesn’t help that I’m Chinese either, as everybody expects me to speak Japanese when I approach them. Haha. Anyway, I got a long way to go until I check in, and I’m tired as shit. So, I can’t really think of anything to write here at the moment except that I’m safe and sound and in Tokyo. I’ll blog more when I get into my hotel room, so I’ll just end the post here.

  • Gig #74: Feedback Open Mic

    It’s been awhile since I’ve played at Reza’s Feedback Open Mic event and well, I’ve decided that I’m going to do it tonight. Anyway, the gig starts at 9pm, it’s going to be at The Bee in Jaya One. Main acts are: Natasha Ejaz and Ryota Katayama. I don’t know who else is playing but it’s going to be a short set (2 songs) for me. Facebook event page.

    Hope to see some familiar faces tonight!

  • A slight update

    So here I am again. At the same crossroads in life. This time a bit further than before, but still nowhere near where I thought I’d be. But it’s okay. Nothing goes according to plan, and me of all people should know that. Regardless, I’m just keen to see where life takes me next. I’m sure it’s going to be interesting.

    This is just a post to say that I’m still alive. Haven’t been blogging a lot lately due to my inability to put down into words what I feel or think about. Hell, even writing lyrics are a challenge now. I’d like to blame writer’s block, but that’s just a silly excuse IMO.

    In other news, Yellowcard is coming to Singapore next month, and I’m stoked. Got my tickets for the show, I can’t wait! Watching them play Awakening live is so going to make my year. Man I love that song. But for those of you who haven’t heard it, it’s one of my favorite songs by them and one of my most listened to songs on my playlist right now. It’s so damn good, check it out:

    Oh, and this blog needs a redesign. I think five years with the same header and theme is a bit too much. Any suggestions?
