A Quick Update

Hello and good morning. Happy Merdeka everyone!

Can't believe tomorrow I'll be back to my hectic life. No more sleep at 2am. No more singing and strumming the guitar for the whole day. To cut it short, no more freedom but say hello to a tiring lifestyle. I'm not sure whether I'm prepared to see my results, one thing for sure is I can't wait for my Add Maths results. Sounds crazy. I know.

My target is quite fulfilled this holidays. Able to memorise La-Ong Dao, watched all the Nuvo in Love Concert videos on YouTube, SR job completed, what elese ah? Oh ya, completed something really torturing last night. I mean at 3am.

To Rabiaal: Nice, an update at last ;)
To Zulaikha: Say hello to hostel life again eh? ;) p/s nice haircut :D

To all readers: OH NO~ Back to school tomorrow!!!

It's Thursday..

..no!~ The school holidays will end soon. Grr..I love holidays. After this I have to be mentally and physically prepared for the UK II results. Oh no~

Proudly stating here that my task for the SR is already complete. I don't want to do it all on the eleventh hour. It was a relaxing task, typing the last two essays was real fun. The reason is, ehem (believe it or not), I typed it while WATCHING Nuvo's concert videos. Yep, WATCHING (and of course listening). How did I do it? I also don't know. When the solo part appeared (Kong's) I shifted my attention. Then back to typing. Hope there won't be any typing errors. If not I'm dead roast meat. xD

I'm ready to add some songs in my mp3 player again. Silly me, I accidentally deleted the "Thai Rock" file. Luckily I still have it here. Fuh~

My Kapok is lying on the bed. That's not the main point. Yesterday I printed out same thai song lyrics with chords. Eg. Soot Soot Pai Lerei, La-Ong Dao etc. Currently learning to play those songs. It's fun, but too bad it sounds terrible. Maybe my guitar is out of tune again. have to check later on.

One word to define my day: Tired. I really want to sit here longer, but I think this is too much. My eyes are tired~ My mission before this holiday ends might not be possible to be accomplished. (To many missions make it impossible). One of it is to master "Leuk Sut Jai" - fingerstyle one. It's too difficult for me. The second one is to understand scales. Still sounds ridiculous. Looks like it's a long way to go.

End of post, keep on rockin' (with Thai songs)
*Smiles*

It's 4 O'Clock, Hullo!

Just wanna say 2 down, 2 more to go. I think I have insomnia. My eyes are still widely open. Blame the thunder this (ehem, yesterday) evening. Oh ya, and this is what you get if too much ray diagrams are in your mind. I'm talking Physics. Don't get it? Good. It's just nonsense.

Hey all of you! I have something to share here. This is one piece of superb guitar solo arrangement (or whatever you call it) that you guys must must must hit the play button. This time no kidding. I really love it. The title is "Friends" from Ohm Chatree. Awesome!



I'm damn bored. So I want to share this one too:
(Kong Saharat performing a kinda sexy song in my opinion. Poor me, dunno the meaning of the lyrics). Enjoy the guitar sound fellas.



p/s: Harvie got a new guitar. Electric one. Ibanez pulak tu. Aiyoyo..so lucky aih. Congrats for the new baby dude! Kah kah. The point is, man it's beautiful..(He's not gonna read this I bet even 10 or 20 or 30 years to come). XD

Really need some sleep. Good night.

What Title Should I Put Eh?

Silly title. Lols. I'm just here to tell the whole wide world that 1 down, 3 to go. I'm not talking about anything actually. It's the Sidang Redaksi thingy. Huargh. It's pretty fun to realise that my typing progress is pretty shocking. I can't believe my fingers are dancing on the keyboards at high pace with the beat of Kong Nuvo's song, Pen Yahng Ngee Dtaang Dtae Gert. Ok, I doubt the spelling of that song title, I just simply typed it out. The point is I'm wondering whether Arbut has finished his job. Another thing is, where is Iella?? I am not more than a lonely blogger. Where are you guys eh? Come on, update your blogs! (Wah, so ***) <-- no meaning at all.

Probably tomorrow or tonight I'm going to type my own essay. The one that I told you guys in the previous post long long time ago..The silly heart-breaking one. Belive it or not, I shed some tears while reading it. Kah kah.

Uyh, I hear some thunder. Gotta go.
Peace.

No More Afternoon Entertainment!

Man, Songkram Nang Fah has just ended this afternoon on local tv. I can't imagine my life without Thai lakorns on tv (again). Bet that there will be another one next year. lols.

So after this I guess nobody will be searching about it and land on my previous blog entry (surprisingly). Wonder what lakorn will tv2 broadcast next. :)

One Sunday Afternoon...

...I changed my blog header. The picture was actually taken 4 years ago eh. I just made it simple without any touch of photoshop or you name it. How cool is the pic fellas?

Say goodbye to the old one. :"(

It's Friday!

I love Fridays. Very very much. Goodbye UKII, say hello to holidays! Yeahaa.. I've been waiting for this time for ages. Can't believe that now I can forget (for a while) about all those electrochemical series, formula of std deviation, mesophyll pallisade (is that how the professors spell it) thingy.

The gig I told you guys in the previous post wasn't really cool. I mean it was cool, but not so fun as last year. With no Impin around, it feels weird. Last year, whenever they bring their guitars, the will jam together - a specific song, sing together, pretending to have drums and it was really lively. This year they just bring their guitars but don't seem to really play together. It's more less like "you teach me and I teach you" this year. Well, I still think it's a lot more better than the Dahlians who are facing extinction of boys who are musically inclined. I'm not mengutuk, I'm just trying to "compare and contrast".

My fingers must be very happy today. Met with a Santa Cruz, a Fendar (not a spelling error fellas), a semi-acoustic Santa Cruz (waooww..), and the kenalan lama, Kapok. Santa Cruz is Griffin's, semi-acoustic is Harvie's, Fendar is Gareth's and Kapok is Mavrick's. Surprisingly my ear has a chemistry with Gareth's Fendar. It was the right time to compare and contrast - and I finally have to admit the Fendar has the best sound among all. I still can't figure out why. That was the fun part - trying out all of the guitars!

I recorded myself playing a few Thai song on the guitar and singing along last night. No way, I'm totally not going to upload it because it really does sound terrible. Should I blame my Kapok? Or it is just me who's at fault for not playing well? I don't no. No one is here to judge how bad or good I play. I wish I had somone to teach me. Whatever, I'll keep on playing just for fun (eventhough deep inside I dream to play fingerstyle superbly one day). Heehee..

My guitar string (G) needs to be changed in a few months time from now I guess. Yesterday I noticed that it's already pecah but not putus yet. (oh man, not again..)

There's a melodica on my table. I'm figuring out how to play it. But no, I still don't know.

Guess that's all. I'm really in the mood of holidays.
I cannot endure in silence.
I still want a Fender Strat. Please fall from the ceiling. Please.
~talking nonsense again~

Another Week, More Great Stuffs

I'm out of ideas for the title. I know it doesn't seem to be attracting at all. There are actually lots to be told about this week, although it's only Thursday today. I can't wait for Friday or Saturday. I must post an entry, because my blog is not more than a lazy blogger's blog. You get what I mean, ah..just forget about it. I feel weird for those who can post up to 20 entries in a month.

So gladly saying my battle in UK II is gonna end TOMORROW. However I'm declaring that today is the end day. (Tomorrow's gonna be Sivik heehee..)

I bought an Mp3 player for myself last Sunday. Go on. Laugh. I'm 16 years old and this is the first time I own an Mp3 player. Must sound weird for Hi-so kids eh. Nonetheless, I thank God for building up my character as me - a person who can really save a ringgit a day until I am able to get this dream of mine. Goodbye precious money in the piggy-bank, say hello to this awesome thingy that will enable me to feed my ears with (ehem) what else? - Thai songs. Now it's time for me to cut it off from my wishlist.

This will be awesome. No need to copy Sejarah notes with brainache (new disease ay?).
I always remember Madam Yeo's tips on copying History notes. NEVER make yourself feel the burden - switch on the radio. Lols. Radio.

Last Tuesday was probably a big day - my first experience holding a drumstick with my own hands. Man, I can feel the 'feeling' inside. (I'm not talking about Cornetto you guys). Still wondering when on earth am I going to be able to hold a Fender Strat. By the way, thanks a bunch, Dila.

Song Kram Nang Fah (Battle of Angels) is gonna end next Monday, according to my 'prediction' and 'research'. Perfect ending, you guys. Don't worry. (I already have it in my mind, no surprises. YouTube is always there). Perfect timing also - next Monday is holiday!!! It's more fun to watch on tv - that's why I'm happy. :D

Tomorrow seems to be a big day for the guys in my class. There's gonna be a gig. Everyone's talking Guitar, taking Guitar and loving Guitar at the age of 16. I wish I could join them, (but I'm just a girl..) Ehee..I love it when they bring their guitars and show off their talents. It's really something that can push you to practise harder. I'm just awful. Already 4 years befriending a Kapok but still no awesomeness. (Well, there is no judge for awesomeness and attractiveness, right?) So I'll just keep on playing on my own way because I don't have anyone to teach me.

UK II stories - Add Maths, Physics and Chemistry were quite (weirdly) ok. The shocking one was Bio. Surprisingly tough. I'm not expecting much. The others were as normal.

Wow, so many things to say.
I must study for Sivik. Peace and God bless.
Thanks for reading this long and boring entry. Comments are most welcomed.

Weekly Update

Phew~
There goes another week. I'm supposed to bury my face in my Chemistry notebook right now. Today's paper was BM and Maths. Nothing much to say about those two papers. Huarghh~ I just can't wait for the holidays.

Listening to each others' problems was something so good this week. As the exams get closer, I feel the "1atm" on me. Nah, don't ask me what the heck is "1atm". One thing is for sure, I'm not the only one who is feeling like this. Worrying is just not gonna help us in anything. I'm trying to think optimistically right now. Lalala..

I'm still in the mood of listening to Nuvo's songs. However I'm struggling to control this addiction - at least until the holidays come. Right now I know and realise that I really have to do my best in this UK II.

Thank God that I guess this week has something special about it. I felt like I was given the chance to change my perception about two individuals that I used to hmm.. (not to say hate but more less like that lah). Ok, the point is I used to think that they are a little bit annoying but right now everything has turned around. I like this kind of feeling. A lot more better that hatred feelings.

A verse in one of Nuvo's song, Mai Pen Rai Lerei really caught my attention these past few days.
It is: "pae mai chai reuang yai"
From my own translation, maybe it means:
"to lose is not a big deal" -need to confirm about that later.

The point is, if I lose my battle in this UK II, (I mean if my results are not as expected), ok, let's just face it. It's not a big deal, because Sak Wan Tong Dai Dee and mai wah ja soong, kae nai gor pai teung. Ohoho..

Current Obsession

Okay, here it goes.
First, I watched Song Kram Nang Fah (Battle of Angels).
Second, I felt attracted to the pra'ek. (btw pra'ek means hero)
Third, I did some research - what's his name? (oh, ok..Kong Saharat)
4th, I searched through YouTube. (ohh..he's also a singer..)
5th, WHAT? he's a guitarist from a band called Nuvo?
and finally.. I Became A Fan of Nuvo, automatically.
and that's my current obsession.

Man, they are just so awesome. That's what I call real Thai music, better than what we listen to now. The new era of Thai music is just sometimes too K-pop-ally / J-pop-ally inclined. Y'know what I mean. Not to say that the new generation of singers are bad, but for me, I prefer the oldies~ xD

So I haven't told you guys that this band had their first album in 1988. I'm sure you're laughing at me right now. They split in 1993 but reunited in 2001. Last year they released another album, "Love You Never Die"

Back to Kong Saharat again. This dude is awesome. I was flabbergasted the first time I watched their concert videos. He can really play solo. Awesome dude~ The feeling of wanting to own a Fender Strat becomes greater and greater as I watch him play. Man I hope tonight a Fender Strat will fall from the ceiling and land on my bed. xD

If you don't believe in me, please kindly spend 10 minutes on this clip. Kindly hit the "play" button please.. You will be impressed by his talent (and as for me, his style in playing + his charming face as well) -grins-grins-

For you guys who's still wondering who is Kong Saharat. To know more, read my previous post.




Nuvo now and then. (grinning alone in front of the PC)

The songs that I like most from them are:
สุดสุดไปเลย [Soot..soot Pai Lerei], หลับตา (โต๋)[Lap Dtaa], ไม่เป็นไรเลย [Mai Pen Rai Lerei], โง่งมงาย [Ngoh Ngom Ngai] and หลอกกันเล่นเลย

Currently practising หลับตา (โต๋) on the guitar. Planning to make a cover, but I'm afraid I'll screw it all up later on.

I guess that's all for now. Keep on rockin'
and hello August! :)

*So many Malaysian lakorn lovers searching about Song Kram Nang Fah these past few days. Sweet~
