DDG freshmenn~

Woah~
3 BIG events just went past in a span of just 4 days: Club Crawl 2007, Jam N Hop 2007 and our NYPGC Freshmen Orientation 2007.

Club Crawl was okay. We had 215 people signing up at our booth. Mostly are for enrichment courses but we are gonna work hard to convince them to stay with the club after the course ends. Guitar Club is funn~ Trust me! Hehe.
For Club Crawl this year we wanted to make a giant guitar. And so we DID!


- setting up


-some of us


- Love Guitar Love Me~ Sayang's handiwork..

It is approximately 2.7 times bigger than a normal guitar. Had fun making the damn thing. But it was already coming apart near the end of Day One. By Day Two it was unfixable! And so we took it down for a rest. It ended up in the bin at the end of Day Two, which was kinda slow cuz not many freshies came to the Sports Hall. Ugh should have taken more pictures of our GIANT guitar.. We could have done better with the banner though. Poster was uber cool with electric guitars all over. Thanks Syarah! I think that poster might have pulled in a number of people and made them interested. Ouh and performance-wise; Erika, Marcus and Elton did a good job by representing GC. Thanx guys!

Thanks to all of those who have helped out with the decor, set-up, promoting.. whole event actually. Yeahh~ I'mma happy with the result(:

Jam N Hop was fun! They had a live band playing. Whoa the bass, guitars and drums were nice though the singing could have been improved. Oh and Michelle won Best Dancer. You GO GIRL! haha. Finally. A new MP3 eh? I 'm sooo gonna send u my songs.. Alesana wheeeeee~
Yes and there were many DDG freshmen. Its me and Sayang's code for Drop Dead Gorgeous btw. LOL~
Damn the fact that i only have half a year in school left. I am sooo gonna miss everyone :'(
~sigh

NYPGC Orientation 2007
Yeahh~ am really happy with the results of the event. Thanks to Kenneth C for the vision he had to have the Orientation in the TFA. We had a mini concert kinda thing. Was real informal and the impromptu emcees rocked the house! Thanks so much Joe and Mark. Thanks to all who came to help out and congrats to all performers. All of u just earned one CCA point! LOL
Though it was a bit hurried with the auditions and guitar reservations.. Everyone was so pooped and busy that we weren't able to go out after the event. Last year we went ice-skating right aft Orientation. But dun fret guys we are gonna plan an outing real soon for all of us to bond together and enjoy ourself~~ I need destressing. STAT!

well gtg sleep now

-- cry tonight. my hands around your hands i won't let you die tonight --

Lead me away~

Just thought i cld squeeze in one entry before i head off to sleep.
Well first of all i wanna talk abt all this mix up with emo and stuff. I mean just the other day a friend was watching a clip and commenting how 'emo' Britney looked being all cooped up or something i forgot. But it infuriates me how he can use the word 'emo' and 'Britney' all in one sentence. Damn i hate that lady uh. And u can stop with ur showing off cuz it wont work~ HAH

whatevs. i'm just letting off steam~

Nowadays many ppl are using the word 'emo' too loosely. Like "Aww.. He looks sad. He's acting so 'emo'. Cheer up kid noone's dying.. Or "No uh she's not emo cuz she's too happy. You're more moody so you MUST be more 'emo' than her." Like WTF. These things seem like small things but it still gets on my nerves uh~

Then my fren did something tt really pissed me off. I was listening to my songs out loud on my phone [Dead Language by Vanna]. Being a man with 'superior taste in music' he hates all punk songs and stuff.. Then he started strumming haphazardly while singing "I'm emo i'm mad. I'm emo i'm sad sad. i wanna kill ppl.." Those kind of stupid things. ARGH i just felt like screaming in his face to STFU but being the nice girl that i am, i put my bag down and stayed away for a few minutes. I mean DUDE! this is MY genre. MY fave music. You have no right to say bad things abt my fave kind of music. Think before you talk. You would like it if i made fun of what u love will you? I'll rather u just smack my phone silent or break it or whatever rather than say those stupid shit ~

If u don't know anything abt the genre. Then be quiet. You're hurting others who are in love with it.

Sorry readers but i couldn't stand it anymore. I have to blurt it out some where some time..

yes and i so miss going to gigs at Gashaus. The other time i went gigs like every week for 3 weeks straight uh. Now i'm having serious withdrawal symptoms.. Moshing or just watching ppl mosh in a darkened room full of ppl who love what i love might keep my mind off things.. takemeout~

The Youths and Our Music..

Listen to this!

This is what you get when you put us 4 in a room with guitars, speakers and an mp3. Yup it really is a spontaneous song that we played.
Vocals: Faisal, Sakinah [timer :D Ahh! x4 ROFL]
Guitar: Me
Bass: Zim
*had to do lotsa retakes cuz i kept screwing up and play a different ryhthm. HAH. Need more practice~

One more thing.
Do me a favour and check out this band.
http://www.purevolume.com/valentinesletter
Listen to the song Love And Hate and you'll absolutely fall in love. They rock performing live too! Enjoy~
My friend who's into slow indie songs says he loveeeees the song. And that is a BIG thing cuz he doesn't say that a lot and he doesn't really like emo songs but this was an EXCEPTION. I mean i even had doubts if that was my friend talking in MSN and not his sister or evil twin. Duuuuude~ VL's gonna be huge! Guys~ produce more songs like this and you're gonna be the next A Vacant Affair!!

Woooooo~

Karma Me

Whoa.
Picture this.
Speakers on maximum loudness + mp3 + an air conditioned room + guitars + improvised drum kit + band members = Our first band session!
Band session as in practice unplugged kinda thing. W/o the electric guitars. Faisal had to improvise with the high chair and cowbells. But it sounded great still~

Ahh the perks of being vice president. LOL shhh. We didn't mess up the room if that's what you're worried about. But we did some prancing about the room and headbanging and basically enjoying the music.. Then suddenly a familiar tune came up: 'Hey there. I know it's hard to feel..' Zim our bassist/guitarist quickly 'angkat kaki jalan' la dey~
Haha for those who are confused, he kicked up his heels and got the hell out of the room. Being crazy jerks that we are [LOL], we opened the door and sang the song out loud [serenade more like.. haha] to him outside the room. Chasing and singing. Damn it was funn~
I LOVE SINGING~ espesh to my kind of songs..
-- sakina said mayb he had an ex living in Ohio so tt was why it was too painful for him to hear Ohio is For Lovers :D

Haha how the hell can i sing those to Mr Chris our vocal class instructor. I mean every week we have to sing one song on the karaoke machine. And all the choices i have are Westlife or some oldies English songs that i have never heard of. I mean COME ON.. I am sooo over boybands; BUT i have no choice. If someone outside Guitar Club reads this i'm SCREWED :O
He told us to bring our own karaoke CDs but the only Video CD that i have is My Chemical Romance. Haha imagine the shock on everyone's face if i sing I'm Not Okay or Helena.
Ugh. Beats Westlife any friggin day beb~

yeahyeahh so back to my band.
We're called arSCENEic atrocity.
Current Line-up:
Vocals: Sakina, Zul
Drums: Faisal
Guitar: Zim
Bass: Su

We plan on joining BandzOut 2007 if that's what u're wondering. I think its in June but not sure exactly when. Argh and that's like only 2 months away?! 60 days?! Damn damn damn.

Ok random stuff.
My horoscope on AstroSlam.com or something like that.

Your criteria for being cool-- a rainbow of ethnic friends and a good music collection -- suddenly seems to fall short. Get a tattoo and dress yourself in head-to-toe thrift store chic.

Yeap i am happy for having a sprinkling of friends of all races and am proud of my GREAT music collection. Hmm but it seems that that is not enough to stay cool ey? Tattoes are out of my league! Dad will burn my skin off if i ever get one. Does henna count?

So..




I got myself a lip ring! Well kinda anyway. Haha. *winkwink*
So YES lip rings are sexy! Does it work for me?
If not, i'll MAKE IT WORK~ heh

Oh yes and Sayang did this for me, knowing how much i love this genre:

--emosayang =me. YEAY!
She was worried abt the lip ring and stuff. So i told her it was Just A Phase. What do you think?--


-- Why do boys kiss boys? Leave some for me, dammit >.< --

See? Sayang is so talented la. Now ur suffering but one day u'll be swimming in wads of cash with cute children running here and there.. Just know that IT'S ALL WORTH IT.
Karma does not only work on the bad things we do. Good karma exists too!!
-- oh yes they do~


--and this here little cutie is STRIPE. He's the South Park character I made. Aww.

haha. Told ya. A bunch of random stuff..

-- i can't see outside myself. how can i live for someone else. its hard to say forever--

Sequel

wooohoo~

movie fest beb.
Mr Bean's Holiday with my little brothers [mum didn't want to come. was very tired she said..] but we enjoyed ourselves very much. Went to Bishan in the evening to watch after they came back from school. Didn't know my bros were so horny seeing women in low neck tees. I laughed out loud one to many times in Long John and the cinema. HAHA. real fun~
but we went back home and got an earful. parents didn't approve of me bringing them out on a school night. Won't happen again! *fingers crossed* but sat and sunday rates are expensive la~

Watched The History Boys with Hailwa. Didn't enjoy it much cuz the movie was abt gays and stuff. Touchy subject la. And her mum was angry with her and wanted her to be home fast. So we kinda rushed and stuff.. Oooo but the dude has a realllly nice voice and he sings well along with the piano. i loved the skit part abt the brothel and German hospital. Funny la. Sad that the mods scene kid had to die..

Freedom Writers rocks! I like the angmoh quiet kid's character. Hehe. Nice nice hair! The movie was great. Abt gang fights and racialism in the US. How true it still exists a bit nowadays.. I so want to read/borrow/buy/own the book: The Freedom Writers. Can't find it anywhere in the library. A must watch like 300!

Watched TMNT with Hailwa and Farhan. Haha the movie wasnt all that nice. Maybe cuz i wanted to watch something with more meaning. Something that will make me think.. Like the Number 23 or something along that lines. Brought back sweet childhood memories though~ Cowabunga dudes!
Love ya girl. No matter how many things u say to 'kenakan' me just now ey? Just don't do it too often or someone's gonna get hurt. LOL

more movies to come:
Sunshine.
Meet The Robinsons.
Ocean Thirteen.
Road To Terabithia.
The Number 23.
