hello. havent been doing anything much lately, just rotting and rotting and ROTTING at home. haha. and i havent been updating my blog cos i keep doing the same things each day, so no point right? i wake up, eat breakfast, watch tv, use computer, take a nap, wake up, eat dinner, watch tv, sleep. BORING. HAHA.

anyways, i thought u guys might like to see this.

seriously, i used to think that music is really a whole lot of crap. remember your primary school days where u have musics lessons and u have to learn stuffs like do re mi and play the recorder? and to make it worse, u still have music lessons in sec 1 and sec 2? and usually the teachers are old and boring losers who have nth better to do than keep asking u to sing songs while they clap their hands and stuffs. hahaha...ok so those were the times. when i was in sec 2 approaching sec 3, i then thought it was a relief not to have music lessons again and that i would nvr have to pick up any instruments again. ok so that was what i thought.

then one day my bro came home with a guitar (i had no idea why up to this day). at first, it was an acoustic, i tried playing it when no one was looking and i thought it was boring. haha. then a few days later, he brought home an electric guitar. ok, then i tried, i asked him to teach me but u know what he will say. haha...like all typical brothers he said no. so i went to the internet, started learning slowly, watched videos, and it got fun. but i have never really understood why musicians still do what they always do. i see drummers banging here and there...and guitarists with long hair and the first thing i thought was a bunch of nth better to do ppl. haha. but now, i guess everything changed. i do realised now why ppl play instruments. like for me, when i play the electric guitar (although i'm not good at it), everything seems to stop, even time and nth else really matters, all that matters is you and the guitar, just that very special moment. it's as if all ur problems disappear and u can express yourself through the instruments, anger, sadness, loneliness. haha, u might say that i'm being too emotional here but it's true...just look at the video i just posted. look at how his face is so full of emotions and passion and it's as if his inner voice is screaming through the guitar. and the best part is, when u perform, and all eyes are on you, and the solo comes, and then u play it, and ppl are cheering for u. so music is not such a bad thing after all. it's just that it's kinda sad the way music is nowadays. everywhere u go and it's punk rock, techno and emo screamo shit. where has iron maiden, metallica and pantera gone to? i'm not trying to be one-sided here, but seriously? it seems that music needs a revolution. a metal revolution.
