im going down
down down down down down.
*crazy solo*

no, im not down at all; its just a song. just finished watching an MTV of "down", featuring stevie ray vaughan, and jeff beck. stevie's one of my favourite legendary guitarists of all time. the whole song only has a few lyrics, and the rest of the 7minutes of the whole song is filled with solos. they're not SUPER fast nor SUPER hard to play solos, but more importantly, nice ones. i wonder how long its gonna be before i can do that. stevie is like solo-ing through the whole darn song. and jeff beck looks like he's having fun. wot i dun get is how he can have fun while his fren is solo-ing through the whole thing and he's just doing some funny rhythm thing over and over again. and like he only does one short solo. haha. owellz. i read in some review that stevie's worn beat up guitar woz a real bronco, took considerable effort to even bend half a step. in the solos he does he does a considerable amount of them. that some finger power. haha. long way to go. owellz.

well, of course, the true great is jimi hendrix. his MTV is like. wow. haha. he composes his own music, brings out some really cool shapes and great sounds, some roaring kinda thing. he can get d most out of his strat. totally awesome man. his solos and fast AND rather hard to do, yet he does like nothing. sigh. he can be like smiling and waving to his fans while his fingers and flying all over d fretboard. ARGH. i need creativity! argh.

i am rattling on, ranting and raving. owellz. im crazy lah. as olweiz. but im happy, i've got a hobby/pastime which im crazy over. bwahaha. im screwed my eng CA, dun ask me how much i got. im rather pleased with geog though. majority of the level failed, highest is 15/20. i got 14. yupyupyup.

muackx.

(i think its a she)got dragged away by the owner. flops and i walked away, den 15 seconds later the dog ran up again to flops. haha. the owner had to chase again. so sweet. i think that's real puppy love. =*) dats like the real way to jio someone mannz, go up to the person without holding back. haha. i cant believe im saying this. ;0)

i think channel 5 stinks. totally. okay, today they showed MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS. omigosh. like how lame can they get??!? how chinese new year, they showed cannonball run. i think they're like digging up and finding all their ancient movies with dust on the covers and screening them on national TV. like comon lah. POWER RANGERS?!??! wot a joke. ever since channel i disappeared and they have no competition left, the standard has detiorated drastically. sigh. but of course, channel 8's still d best. d local series-es rock. *winks at deb meimei* bwahaha. of course, jake, of course.

i have succesfully completed the whole of the snowball fight game in my phone. only after i hit the last level did i realise that there's super powers you can use. so cheat. i'd have finished it long long ago if i knew. haha. and my lead's improving, here and there. effects too!!!! i love my flanger. can use some super whiny sound with no depth at all of some jet plane roaring sound with the depth of the alantic ocean. bwahaha. my phrasing and all's improving, as well as the speed. of course not many people noe wot im talking about. owellz. i just finished listening to sunday morning by maroon 5. funk. in love their style. i might put that song up sometime. i wish i could play like that man. i wanna be so many things. guitar wise. i wanna be able to play as fast and creatively as mark tremonti, i wanna be as effects-savvy as nigel peipman from hillsongs, i wanna be able to play funk. improvisation, lead, effects. funk. owellz.

it all started when we were barely out of diapers. kindergarten, where poor ole jacob had no friends. he met his next door neighbour, adriel wong, who also happened to be in the same class as he was. from then on the friendship grew. from playing with hercules swords, to the hiding under the blanket in 'driel's room to hide from the bad guys, to the many ambush games, the gun frenzy, the countless swimming parties and stayovers. all the fun we had with the tamiya cars, the climbing around on the roof of the condo's carpark, to the ambushing and "threatening" of the condo's security guard. all are part of the countless memories etched in my memory. as we grew up, the stuff we did changed. from talking about school, the gelling and waxing of hair, the running stints around the neighbourhood, the cycling expeditions, the drum jamming sessions. we had fun talking about girls, going sam's place. i still remember the time we went to sam's place to STUDY, you ended up playing mafia, thus only completing ONE page of your comphrehension. haha. the time i accidentally "jacked" you with the rugby ball, the time where you were secretly pleased your friend twisted his balls. bwahaha. the boobalinda episodes, the teaching of guitar, the studying in church. all the SNL episodes, the watching of mean girls. i still remember there was once where we watched a movie tog. cant remember oredi. the UT fun, the suntanning and all. i might have pissed you off here and there, but it never really lasted. the longest lasting friend i've had, and hopefully forever. my closest neightbour. don't shift house okay. i know im being selfish but secretly im hoping you wont be able to sell the house, so you'll still be my neighbour. we've grown from being short, with the light blue uniform of BMC, to young kids playing with guns, to teens with boardshorts and spiked hair, and now we're wearing long pants in school. we've never really been through hard times, just time of great friendship. i pray it'll stay that way forever. cheers bro.
