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~

Sweet and Sour Week

This is just a boring story. Read it on your own risk.

----------------------------------------------------------

Thinking of the past just hurts me. I miss my life as a Form 3 student. I miss everything about last year.

What's fun in this class that we're still not lack of guitarists eventhough our 2 great guitarists of all time since in Form 1 has transferred school ( and the other, different class ). This morning we sang together during recess time. I miss stuffs like this. I was awesome, but alas our teacher came in just as we were about to sing the chorus part of the song "Lucky". I would be glad if we really can do that everyday.

I can't figure out anything so special about this week. I missed my journal for 3 days I guess. I just feel so lazy to write about anything. UK II will be next month, I have to prepare for my oral test and also kerja kursus. Life only circulates on books, guitar and the Internet this year.

Man, something is really annoying right now. I don't think I can throw this feeling far away from me in the meantime. Ah, just forget about it.

I am still thinking that Gareth's guitar sounds a lot more better than mine. Haha. I just don't know when am I going to be able to play fingerstyle superbly.

Physics..oh Physics. I'm caught in a dilemma. Someone looks like Yodsaenklai. The class is sometimes so noisy. Someone needs to really make Physics something fun to learn. (I'm starting to say out things that no one can ever understand). Good then. I hope no one understands what I'm trying to say right now.

I cannot endure in silence.
But I have to.

This is just a bunch of crap. I know.

Terrible Sound that Sounds Terrible

My bad. I thought it was my guitar's fault. All this while I blamed it for sounding quite weird. I thought it was because it's a cheap guitar. Now I realise it is actually my fault.

Suddenly I thought of visiting an online guitar tuner website just now. The last time I did it was about 6 or 7 months ago, during school holidays. Now I feel dumb. For months I didn't even realise that my guitar is

OUT OF TUNE!

Now it sounds good, really beautiful. It didn't take a long time to do. Silly me. Just look at the time now.

Good night!

A Great, Awesome, Superb, Hilarious, Relaxing Week!

The title reflects it all. This week has been a great week for me. Lots of laughter with a pinch of hardship and pain made it sweeter.

Chemistry experiment was cool, also the Bio PEKA we did this morning. I'm glad I'm in the sidang redaksi now. Can't wait to work with the superb team! Class pic is gonna be next week, as promised I'll try to smile broadly. I NEVER smile in class pics. I hope this year's will be awesome. I also started back my journal that I left behind for the past few months. I'm starting to jot down lots of little little things that I see, feel and go through in school. It's always like that - starting from the month of July every year, I'll get some sort of strength (finally!).

I haven't compose my "If" poem that my English teacher asked us to do. Can't get any idea to start with. On my table (and floor) there are piles of books ranging from History to BM, I know their waiting for me. My History notes are still not complete yet, and I have to prepare for the next lisan.

Probably I said that this week is awesome because I felt that class has been so relaxing, some funny incidents, laughed a lot these past few days! Not to forget a very cool experience (that will certainly not to be stated here).

Got to know another ispirational Thai song, Kwahm Cheua by Bodyslam. Currently in the process of memorising. ;) This song is truly ispiring!

Last but not least, say hello to July!
Hullo July! I can feel the awesomeness.
Keep on rockin'




the 3rd minute onwards is truly inspiring. Awesome song.
