Gothencore gone Trippy?!

Just felt like writing this,sue me. I WANT TO MIGRATE TO SWEDEN AND SIGN THE PANOPTICON TO NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS AND TOUR AROUND SWEDEN AND AMERICA AND HAVE HOT CHICKS IN OUR BUNKS EVERY DAMN DAY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TO INTRODUCE SINGAPORE TRIP-HOP INTO THE GOTHENBURG SCENE. WAHHHHHHHHH!

Godspeed

Listening to: Norma Jean - I Used To Hate Cellphones But Now I Hate Car Accidents

Time passes by so damn fast, just in a blink of an eye and it's already sunday night closing into monday. Bluegh..MOE should make friday part of the weekend. Firstly, because the muslim boys has to go to mosque at whateverfucktime and I personally think it's too rush for them to go straight to mosque from whateverfuckschool they are from, secondly..since school ends at 12:30pm, you might as well not go to school since 8 to 12:30pm is a bloody effin short period of time...waste. Thirdly, I think all students need to be stress-free and relax..they have cca's on saturday and for the catholic students,they have to go to church for about 2 hours of learning about god and shit like that either on a saturday on sunday, either way..they don't have a full free day of rest. Think about it, if Friday was part of the weekend..you could make friday cca day, saturday stress-free day and sunday church or whatever day. SEE! MOE I hope you read this..

Watched the CSI finale today..IT WAS AWESOME! The way everything was planned out..and the fact that they needed an ANT to find Nick,its like WHOA man..Anyway,onto other things..my band,The Panopticon is doing GREAT! We now have a manager who is willing to film a $1000 video for us for FREE..So we gotta seriously work hard and write new stuff..just that my studying always collides with my damn music life. NOW THATS ANOHTER BLOODY REASON WHY FRIDAY SHOULD BE PART OF THE WEEKEND. Anyway,for more details on my band, pls visit http://www.theeyeofgod.blogspot.com. We should be finishing up our tracklist and going into recording a 7 song EP by this september so stay tuned. My drumming has also surprisingly improved tremendously, hope I can go up to the Koller standards soon. MUAHA,DREAM LAH OKAY CHEEBYE.

My dear sister's getting her paycheck tomorrow so I'll be getting $25 first. Guess what I'm gonna spend it on? YES CORRECTO, NORMA JEAN'S BLESS THE MARTYR AND KISS THE CHILD ALBUM. I've been dying to get that.. O'god the aftermath is just as good but doesn't appeal to me as much as Bless The Martyr does. And I was just talking to my bassist(siva the prog-avantgarde man with golden diapers)earlier today. We might cover Norma Jean's Organized Beyond Recognition. God I love my life..

Oh and who saw the new national day song Taufik Batisah did with Rui En. Fucking faggot, Taufak's voice is more feminine than Rui En's, I swear.

Alison's brand new booby.

Listening to: Norma Jean - Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste (Yes,Again.)

Dad sold off my ZenMicro Mp3 Player today for bout 250kroners which I used to buy my Ride Cymbal =D. Had Rory come over to my place to watch some Norma Jean videos I downloaded, especially the live ones..fuckin crazy shit. Went to bugis with my family and Rory after that, Had lunch at swensens.. then went to Peninsula to get my LATEST COLLECTION TO ALISON....THE RIDE CYMBAL. WOOHOO,fucking happy ballz..where can you find a 20'inch ride cymbal,together with the stand for just 190bucks..plus a free felt-washer too. Now I can finally practise comfortably! heh.

Said bye to my family then Rory and I took a train to fareast plaza to collect Rory's My Dying Bride box set shit then a cab home. And that was when Rory lost his handphone - in the taxi. Tsktsk, ah well..shit happs. Walked over to pizza hut after that to have a good and hearty dinner to follow up with the success of my happineess over the cymbal. Ate curry zazzle, Siva came by..slacked abit then went to katong to jam. FUCK! NEVER EVER JAM AT ROOM8, FYEWERKZ STUDIO, KATONG SHOPPING CENTRE. Fucked up shit.. You can't hear the damn taped-up bassdrum, the mic has too much waaavvee shit which gave me a damn headache, quality of the amps is effed up. And halfway jamming with the guys,my bloody pedal broke off so I got so pissed I decided to kill the cymbals for the next hour. A bus to siglap for supper and here I am back home with my new ride cymbal standing up firmly and proudly. =)

(P.S Anyone wants to jam 'Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste' by Norma Jean. Please pmsg me at finddaryl_@hotmail.com. Thank you)

Shadows Are Security

Currently listening to: As I Lay Dying - The Darkest Nights

Here I am again, blogging. It's 2 plus pm. Which is quite unusual since I come home at like 4pm every day.. Well as for today, after a long tiring day of school whereby I actually paid attention in class *gasp*, so anyway..after school,I thought I had nothing on, was pretty much stoned and tired, so I decided to call my mom and asked her to fetch me from school. And guess what, Right after I called my mom, Fuzzy called and wanted to meet up and hang out somewhere. WTF..Thank you for taking 513951673419634years to reply, Fuzzy. But I came home anyway, and here I am just stoning my ass off at home. BLEH!

But well at least I have the new As I Lay Dying album on my comp to entertain me for now, 'Shadows Are Security'. I swear man, As I Lay Dying has never been this good..Everyone of you except for teenybopper bubblegum poppers MUST check this album out. Msg me for it..or just buy the damn album yourselves. You choose. Muaha..I so need endorsement.

I've been thinking alot about my future lately,my career and shit like that..what I want to do in life. And the more I think about it, I just get more and more frightened. It's hard not to put these things aside as what my friends would tell me cos I think its better to start planning your career earlier. For me, I'm not a study nerd science geek maths guy..although maths is well,involved in almost every damn thing you do..I want to do something with less math involved. I was thinking of getting in the media and doing audio engineering and shit like that, I love to be the motherfucker behind the console. I definitely want to do something with a technical background. If not, I want to do music theory. Learn to read notes, with drums especially since I play it..then I can be able to be a drum tutor, that'd be quite cool as i'll be making kroners fast that way since every goddamn kid in singapore wants to learn the damn drums now..lol. Have any of you reading this thought of what you want to do in the future? Ah well, I'm off to sleep now. Goodnight to all.

What's undermining you? Money? Power?

Listening to: Probot - Centuries Of Sin (with Cronos of Venom)

Okayyy,this is going to be the first entry I'll be writing since last year. I've been really busy,or so I like to think. So anyway,here I am..back after a long hiatus filled with sex,drugs and rock n'roll..=D. Anyway! As you can see,I'm really not into fancy-blogs with fancy-skins anymore so I've decided to make this blog as simple as possible as I like to believe I'm a simple man although I'm a sucker for kroners and clothes. Ehmm..

I've been totally digging Maynard James Keenan's philosophies and I seriously love them, especially since it is about the whole religion issue. Here's an excerpt from one of his interviews: "The religious upbringing that most people go through, and it's assiocation with Western religion, is all based on lies. At some point you either wake up and realize they are lies or you continue in a fog. I realized I has been lied to and wanted to know the truth. There is a big difference between religion and spirituality. If you are walking a spiritual path, it is because you are trying to help yourself or others for the greater good. You are trying to become a more conscious being through your actions and by understanding what motivates you. Religion, on the other hand, is basically a marketing plan. There is a middleman involved, and somewhere along the line someone is going to ask for your credit card number. They are going to pass a plate in front of you, trick you into giving 10 percent of your income to some child-molesting fuckhead, or, worse, trick you into giving up your civil rights over some storybook. But there is truth in every religion, and I totally respect all religions, it's just the people. You just have to weed out the middleman principle, the profit portion, and get to the crux of it." Although I disagree about some stuff he had mentioned-heck..he still makes alot of sense. Hope that doesn't mindfuck anyone out there reading this though.

So anyway, onto my own personal life. School today was boring as usual, had to run my 2.4km, and I failed by whaat? 2 or 1 seconds? I seriously hate my teacher.."Oh sorry Daryl,I can't pass you because this is a christian school and I have to be honest!"...Dude like wtf? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard coming from a teacher in my entire life. Even my no-brainer chinese teacher from china makes sense. Ah well,the people these days huh..especially the old ones. Tsktsk..Unbelievable bunch of shitheads.

Went to the park after school to chill out with Kathy,Ignatius and Rory. Had quite alot of fun there..played with snails,birds,it's quite nice sometimes, hanging out with nature and stuff, rather than being with religion-fanatics all the damn time thanks to what our Government have done to us. Grrr... Okay,like total wtf to me. Been listening to alot of Dave Grohl shit lately, I love all his bands..be it,Probot,Foo Fighters,Nirvana..Whatever. He kicks ass man. He is the SHITEZ BAYBEEEE..But I must say my personal fave band of his is definitely Probot. Check them out,guys! They are pretty rare though, underground old school trash metal! what more could you fuckin' ask for huh? \m/

Came home around 5 something, got a drink on the way back and saw a Slipknot poster pasted on the frontdoor of 7eleven. I could only smirk as I raised my can of Ice lemon tea imagining it was a can of Baron's Strong Brew instead, and then I shouted out loud, "Ohh Slipknot, here I come guys! here I come!" and walked off as the people around me looked at me as if I was some madfuck. Slipknot's comin to singafuckingpore man!!! Wooohoooo!!! What are you doing on the night of 16th August guys? WELL IM GOING FOR THE FUCKING GIG...$100TICKET!!! WHOO HTE MAN..WHOO THE MAN..WHOOOOOO HTE MAAAN!!! Oh and by the way, Happy Birthday Taralyn!
