Why Would I Write

  • My age.

    Not that I give a shit about my age (maybe I will in 5 years time, or when they finally let me into 21/Velvet lol), but it annoys me when people try to correct me when I tell them my age. Let’s get some facts straight. A year is 365 days long (365 and 1/4 days if you want to be anal). You turn a year older 365 days after your birthday. It doesn’t matter what year you are born in, the same rule applies to all birthdays.

    So when I tell people that I am 24 now, they all assume I was born in 1986. When I tell them I was born in 1985, they say ‘then you must be 25 now!’

    Just because I am 25 this year (in December), it does not mean that I am 25 now. Yeah I will be 25 later this year, but as of now I am not! If my age increased just because the year changed, I would only be 24 for 14 days. Which is stupid.

    Oh wow, I have indirectly written about my birthday. I’m expecting a shit load of presents now, considering I get 100 hits a day on this blog. LOL.

  • Have a safe flight!

    Today as I wished my buddy Kon Chao have a safe flight! I realized the redundancy of such a statement.
    Firstly, my friend is not the pilot of the plane. He has no control over how fast or how high the plane will be flying.
    Secondly, he has no control over the pilot’s state of mind. For all we know, the pilot could have been dumped just before he got on the flight. Depending on how upset he is over it, it could affect his piloting skills.
    Thirdly, he has no control over the weather. Will it be stormy? Clear blue skies? Let’s not even talk about the condition of the plane, and the random terrorist hijacking or the occasional chance of a freak accident occurring (50% btw). Think of a flight as a random walk through some grass in a Japanese RPG. Sometimes you don’t encounter any enemies in one stretch, but at other times, you encounter monsters every 4 steps. Unless you have some repel on. Haha.

    Why do people say inconsequential things? I guess we’ve been conditioned. Like how we reluctantly say hi or invite someone we don’t like to an event just because of courtesy. Or how we say no to that cup of vodka we drink anyway just to give face to the person who bought the bottle. And I shall end this post here just because I can.

  • Gig #43, Gig #44, Mini-Movie reviews

    EDIT: I’ll be playing tonight at Lepaq cafe, Kelana Jaya (27th). 9PM. If you have any problems getting there, just google it or shoot me a message. See you guys tonight!

    I got a message from my friend Rina this morning asking me if I would like to open for her upcoming gig at Lepaq cafe. I agreed! And so I’ll be opening for her. The gig is scheduled to be on this Wednesday night, but she’s trying to push to the last week of February. So it’ll be in two days or the following week. When I’ve gotten the date confirmed, I’ll post it up here or on Twitter. If you haven’t heard Rina before, you haven’t heard music. Listen to her stuff online here. Hope to see you guys there!

    My next confirmed gig will be on the following weekend.
    Doppelganger Penang
    Date: Sunday 21 Feb 2010
    Time: 3pm-6pm
    Venue: Bangkok Lane, Pulau Tikus (exact house tbc)
    Refreshments will be served.

    It’s gonna be my first gig ever in another state, so that’s a pretty big deal to me 😀 Let’s hope my music isn’t offensive to Penang ears. Haha. I really have no idea what to expect. Anyways, hope to see you guys there as well!

    Universal Soldier : is a shit fest. Don’t bother. Seriously.
    Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief : now that is a movie worth watching. Fucking awesome. Plot is predictable, but stay for the ride cos it’s one hell of a fun movie from start to finish.
    Avatar : good movie, but movie of the year? Nah. That one belongs to-
    Sherlock Holmes : I’ve seen this movie twice and I still plan to watch it again. Brilliant script, direction and great acting from the whole cast. Side splitting jokes, and Rachel McAdam. Mmhmm. I’m already itching for a sequel. My favorite movie of 2009, followed closely behind by Inglorious Basterds.
