Hey, ever had one of those moments where you're just stunned into silence, trying to absorb what just happened or what someone just said to you? I just did.... Wow.... I think I'm getting a headache... Need to relax... Relax....

  I find myself getting more involved with other peoples blogs. There are currently 2 blogs i take an active interest in. One's funny yet dramatic, the other's full of self searching. What's mine? Well, judging from previous posts, it appears that I seem to have too much gaming in my head! Maybe I should cut down on the gaming posting and concentrate on my personal self. I guess maybe I haven't gotten to that stage yet. Here's a go: I find Decision-making that affects my personal life is usually one of the hardest things to do. Why do I constantly attempt to pursue that which others believe to be impossible? Am I looking for drama to spice up my life? That's what comes when one reads too much or watches too many movies full of ideals, romanticism and hopes. Why can I not accept the norm, or go for that which is a safe decision? I cannot answer this, but I do know I cannot! I will try...  and I can only hope that the other will attempt the same... Till then...

Well, it's Wednesday today, 5 days since my last posting and 3 days since the Magic GP ended. I finished day 1 at 4-3, losing my last two matches rather pathetically to U-W Control, which was arguably my worst matchup, but still.... I didn't realise that I would be as depressed as I was at the end of the day, but I guess it was more to the fact that I was 4-1 at one point. I suppose if I had started the day at 1-3, I wouldn't be that disappointed to the extent that I may have been an asshole at the end of the day and I do apologise to my supporters for that. In any case, I am truly grateful to one overseas supporter, for providing some great motivation via SMS. Fina, you were fantastic throughout even though you weren't sure exactly how it all works. It would have been great having you around here in person... Anyway, I woke up on Sunday feeling much better and proceeded to plow through 3 drafts, losing at semis, and two finals respectively. Right now I'm actually waiting to see my updated ratings. By default I should have higher ones, especially considering my current ratings :) Sunday night, Hafiz, my Magic General  Manager gave me a slow-talk over dinner to not quit Magic, among other things. I actually seriously wanted to quit, but I wanted to actually achieve something for the GP, something I haven't done. I guess maybe I'll still play, just not as frequent. Enough of Magic, onto WRESTLING STEEL CAGE coming up this Sunday!!!

Two days away and we're barely prepared!  Not to mention the fact that one of us, Azmady won't be coming as he's flying off to some other country for work. What's for sure is that we're coming in to the tournament with half of us packing Land D decks. Despite the fact that Gabriel Nassif finished 2nd with his Land D deck at his French Nationals, we are of the opinion it's still very viable. We just need to be prepared to counter the hate available. Oh, Sacred Ground, how I hate thee... As for freaking COP: Red: I have  one maindeck solution, but uncertain if it should stay maindeck now. Those hasty golems keep coming back into my head, I might seriously consider sideboarding it instead. Hafiz has an entirely different strategy, if Sacred Ground comes out, what to do.... I doubt I'll be blogging this weekend. Should be too busy. Hopefully I'll get back on Sunday night with wonderful news (then again, if I have wonderful news, I'll probably be out partying :) )

  Yes. No doubt about it now. Am I falling for her? One can never be absolutely sure. I've always told others that starting a relationship is taking a leap of faith. You will NEVER know FOR SURE. And yet, we seem to be able to get along well. Of course, it could be due to stuff we have in common. Only time will tell... Who is she? Maybe later, when I've worked up the GUTS to write her name. For now, it will reside in my heart, where it will be safe... Ha ha reminded me of a Malay phrase, Makan tak Kenyang, Tidur tak Lena, meaning 'eating doesn't satisfy my hunger, and I can't sleep'. Oh well, ****, till I meet you again...

  All this Steel Cage testing and I completely neglected to do some work for the Magic GP tournament this Sunday! Issue now is figuring out what to play after Hafiz brought a Land D deck to the Semi-Finals of one of the GP trials, putting Land D on the map. If 50% of the players turn up with U-W Control I'm doomed. Still no real solution for that, Culling Scales just doesn't cut it.   Fina was mentioning that I ought to put my poetry in this blog, which is a good idea really. Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to create a separate page where I can just display poetry, like a homepage, instead of a normal posting. Possibilities....   I can't be bothered changing the date at the bottom anymore, even though it's not accurate in Malaysia. It's only one day.

After continuous procrastination, I've finally managed to get down to constructing a deck for the Steel Cage tournament, i.e. Eric Bischoff. My constant reluctance to dismantle my Trish has resulted in me having to write down my ideas on paper, which does look easier once I've done it. Hopefully tonight I'll get to do some rough testing. Note: Any reader who has stumbled upon this blog may have no idea what I'm talking about. Well, here's a link: www.comicimages.com/rawdeal where everything you want to know about the Raw Deal collectible card game is there for your info. My low for the day was locking myself out of my car again! Man, that really sucked. I wasted time looking around for wires, even asking around and having no luck. Fortunately I found a long stick which I squeezed through the small window opening I had left open (by accident, luckily!) Tying my shoelaces to the long stick enabled me to grasp the lock and pull it open! I also met a Magic player whom I thought had quit Magic, former Worlds No.5 Sim Han How. Apparently he's at Systematic College. He is still one of the nicest good player of Magic I have ever met. (Ha! Magic: www.wizards.com/sideboard) My beloved Indonesian chat partner has turned up. More on this some other time. (Believe me, it would take more time than I have)

This attempt at keeping some sort of writings of my evergoing life is the latest of probably 20 attempts. This is the 3rd attempt electronically but a first attempt via blogging. May my willpower stay everstrong and work out this time around. I realise I am becoming more reliant on computers for my personal life, with regular use of Yahoo! Chat, friendster and now, this blog. Whether this is good or bad remains to be seen. My name's Azmin. I'm 26 yrs old. I am currently in that stage of life where I ask myself, 'What's Next?' I truly do not know the answer. But more of this another time... My parents came back from Thailand today. Too bad I couldn't follow. Unfortunately my finances would not have been able to handle it. But I will make the trip, one day. I will attempt to conquer as many unchartered waters as I can in my lifetime. If Death is the time of your life, I will attempt to enjoy my life while I can.

I just went on a semi-Testimonial spree on Friendster just now. Good luck to those who got affected. With any luck, maybe ONE of those testimonials will get approved. If you guys aren't happy with any of them, it ain't my fault!!! Blame Arjun... he started it.... Today has been a bit of a trip down memory lane, though. My adopted sister and ex-colleague, Fang Sing, smsed me asking why I haven't kept in touch. It's a question I can't really answer though. It's a definite weakness of mine, keeping in touch with friends i don't meet regularly anymore. Anyway, I smsed her back and got her messenger username so that I could at least chat with her on the net when she's not busy. So much so I ended up smsing my best friend in KPMG, Yun See, and we're meeting up this Thursday. I feel sincerely guilty for not staying in touch with her and hope she'll forgive me for it. When I was in KPMG, she was the best friend I could ever ask for, she was always there for me when it mattered. Everytime I had my lows (believe me there were many), she would be the one to drag me out of it. We'd go out a lot, have a lot of fun, and just enjoy each other's company immensely. Amcorp Mall news: Joe is off to GenCon Indiana tomorrow. I am not happy for him AT ALL. He is just lucky to be there... I 'm sure he just won the PCQ by accident... I should be the ONE, I, AZMIN!!!! After all, I sleep during tournaments more than he does ... why shouldn't I achieve something too! He's the Apprentice, I'm the Master!!! Okay, rant over, all the best Joe , and take lots of pics!! You KNOW what I mean....

Sleepy Jedi confessions: I realise I love going to weddings. On Saturday night, I attended a Magic the Gathering friend's wedding with Hafiz in Bangunan Risda somewhere in Ampang. (No don't ask me for directions) Hafiz got lost all by himself and without any help whatsoever from Yours truly. Of course I wasn't paying attention to the roads. Turns out the bridal couple would arrive late anyway, as is typical with weddings here in Malaysia. Of course we ended up sitting with Magic players, and inevitably we talked about Magic. This included Jafar, everyone's favourite Malaysian Bangladeshi, and Syukri, also known as the Malaysian Idol crew who told me that I didn't make it to the next level. A good portion of our time was spent screwing Jafar over for being a lucksack throughout his entire Magic career. (Yes, this means that he consistently had higher finishes than me or Hafiz, despite starting late !) Talk also turned to sms-voting reality shows, due to the fact that Malaysia's premier show, Akademi Fantasia was on that night as well. Found out later that a few of the attendees had brought Walkmans to listen through the broadcast! Night ended with me trying to steal Ai Lin's boyfriend Julian away from her. Unsuccessful of course, as has been the established norms for me. (!) And we got fans for presents too! (a 1st for me) RAW DEAL WWE POSTING Well, Steel Cage is over, and let the Trash Talking resume. Andy's gonna get an earful from Ben Goldberg on Sunday I can guarantee you that. Despite actually losing to Andy in the preliminaries, Ben managed to avoid meeting Andy's B2P again who fell to the Undertaker played by Loco in the semis. So Goldberg remains supreme, and what does he do with his store credit? He buys the last starter in the store, Big Show, arguably a good foil against his own Goldberg deck! Forward viewing, hopefully the Vengeance stock comes in timely so that the Pre-Release will go well (Vengeance has some of the most sought after rares from DO in its starters, eg. Lariat Takedown and Twisted Smiles). Hit the Motherlode!

Had an e-mail today asking for reunion of 2004 resignees from KPMG. Not sure if I wanna go... since there are people I don't wanna meet. However, got another e-mail regarding Lynne and Ahmad's family day which has been changed from camping in Bukit Unggul to to staying at the French Town near Genting! Wow, talk about a change in plans! Pretty drastic, eh? Still looking forward to it, but in a different way. Too bad they're not offering to pay for paintball :) RAW DEAL WWE CARD GAME POSTING: Well, after having played in 6 tournaments since starting play in February, I volunteered to help Wolf to organise WWE tournaments at his shop from now on. Hopefully it will help to reduce his burden so as to concentrate on running his shop. His stock has become incredibly diverse, ranging from the CCG games that have been the mainstay sales of the shop to the award-winning and/or obscure (in Malaysia anyway) board games which have been catching the attention of the patrons for the past two months. In any case, volume of sales activity has definitely increased, if not sales dollar (which I don't really know about anyway). Anyway, first up will be the Steel Cage tourney this weekend (wish me luck!) followed by the Vengeance pre-release in two weeks. Hopefully all goes well..

Just wanted to describe how I've been feeling lately and I think this song says it best: Enjoy! Lately I find myself out gazing at stars Hearing guitars like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings And to sing like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud And feeling like someone in love Sometimes the things I do astound me Mostly whenever you're around me Lately I seem to walk as though I have wings Run into things like someone in love Each time I look at you I'm light as a cloud And feeling like someone in love Like someone in love Like someone in love

Just had an extremely intense LAN Call of Duty session, have not LANned for ages. Johan and Loco are with me, so of course I got shot more times than I care to remember. But it was amazingly fun but Vasily Zaitsev I am not. What else happened? Watched Bruce Almighty this afternoon. It was an okay movie, but of course, one would think that if he was given the same powers, he should be able to balance everything out properly. Mogwai (Shaz's cat) added some more battle scars on my skin. I just re-read my previous post, and have to admit I was on an unnatural high. It's amazing how what some people say can affect me deeply. I am still high. High on life!! I expect to fall at some point, but no worries. Quote from Sandman: It is sometimes a mistake to climb to the top It is always a mistake never to make the attempt. I will keep on climbing!

Doctor's prescription: Too much of the above leads to an eventual biting of the ass by reality. Reality bites, indeed. One of my favourite associated taglines was and still is Living On Imagination. I believe imagination is what keeps me going, keeps me alive, keeps me sane in the real world. Sometimes we are too burdened with expectations. Could have, would have, all possibilities, anything could happen why do I worry so much. Dreams? 'Dream to have a journey... Have me to hug you... Have you to be free.. Do what we want to do...' Sorry, I have to steal that from you dearest, but this is arguably one of the best phrases anyone's ever given to me. I am incredibly happy!!! I am walking on air!!!! I am going crazy!!! And somehow I don't care!!! I am flying above!!! Stop me if you dare!!! I am in love!!! More than I can bear!!! If the future be a myth, let the present be full of life. Lastly, a Bjork song extract: violently happy 'cause i love you violently happy but you're not here violently happy come calm me down before i get into trouble If this be a dream, don't wake me up...

Now playing : urlLink Andy Griggs , 'This I Gotta See' I just ate my last California Fruits Starburst. Life's not juicy anymore. It was 'plum passion' flavor. I hardly ever buy candy for myself, but I was in Kroger a couple weeks ago and the big bag was on sale. Wowsers Inspector! Sometimes I can't even find the California Fruit kind when I am looking for them. So I had to take action and buy this ungodly sized bag of candy. How many of you are asking yourself, 'There's a California Fruit variety for Starburst?' Yes, my friend, there is. Or, if this were last Friday night - YEAH there is!!!! They are fantabulous... plum passion , red cherry , raspberry , and strawberry watermelon . The latter is my favorite. I'd eat cardboard if it came in strawberry watermelon . Don't get me wrong, I have other favorite candies as well. Just one? Are you crazy??? I'm not a chocoholic though. I do like fruity/tart candies more than pure sugar candies. I'm a big fan of Butterfinger and Junior Mints. I love Almond Joys/Mounds. At Halloween I used to be scared of the flavored Tootsie Rolls - remember, they came in colored wrappers that were blue, yellow, red, orange. I'm sorry Mr. Owl, but Tootsie Rolls should strictly be chocolate. I only ate the red ones because, well, they taste like cherry Starbursts. All of this aside, holiday candy is in a class all by itself. It's SO exciting! You get stuff you can't buy any other time of the year! And when else can you buy a Snickers in the shape of a bunny rabbit? Christmas candy is the most unique, and this super holiday is responsible for my favorite holiday candy. Before the Christmas candy leaves store shelves, I buy 1 or 2 extra bags of this stuff and I make it last for 10 months. What is it, you ask? Chewy peppermints of course! I call them chewy peppermints, but techinically they are Brach's Christmas Peppermint Nougat. Perhaps you've seen them....they are white with red around the edge and a Christmas tree in the middle, and they are individually wrapped, which I love. If I were you, I would not want to eat something called nougat either - which surprises me that I ever tried the things. But did you know the filling of 3 Muskateers is called nougat? The peppermint nougat has a very different consistency though. And that's it I'm not typing the word nougat anymore - I do not like it. Who knew I could write so many words about candy? It's a fabulous creation though. I've always said my favorite food is sugar. By the way, I googled everything I could and did not find a picture of chewy peppermints for your reference- GRRRR. By the way again, do not be fooled by imitators. I hear a certain 'old country store and home cookin' restaurant' has their own version now. (I can't diss on those who ultimately pay my salary.)

I really shouldn't be taking this time to write but I just have to get a break from work. However, today was payday (which doesn't get deposited until Monday, so today is a facade) and that was a super surprise. This week has flown by, and not only is it casual Friday, we had urlLink Krispy Kreme too. The past couple times we've had KK, I have resisted and ate my oatmeal instead. I was prepared today, brought my oatmeal, but the Krispy Kremes spoke to me. Did you know they whisper? It said 'Rhonda...look how many varieties they bought of me today. I'm fresh. I'm warm. I'm glazed. I'm cake. I'm chocolate covered. I will melt in your mouth like a sweet concoction as smooth as molasses.' And they did, they did. Tonirw45w46824 (sorry I got drool on the keyboard.) Ahem...Tonight I'm going to see urlLink Pat Green ya'll! I'm way excited! What's he going to be? Rockin'. What kind of time are we going to have? A rockin' one. And if it's really spectacular, it'll be smokin', blazin', and bitchin' too. No, I don't think it's particularly cool to end every '-ing' word with '-in'' but my favorite word of the moment seems to be 'rockin'' so let's milk it for all it's worth. The milk's going to spoil soon though and isn't worthy of my milkshake. I will have heard more live music this week than I ever have since I moved to Nashville, and I love it. I saw urlLink Jeffrey Steele Friday night (he was rockin'), the Jenkins Tuesday night, urlLink Andy Davis Wednesday night, various songwriters last night at the urlLink Bluebird Cafe , Pat Green tonight, and I'm going to see another songwriter urlLink Sunday night . Isn't that great?! This is why I live here people - that and the unfortunate skydiving accident. Alas, it is time to get back to work. But it's OK because I'm working on getting free kids meals to thousands of elementary students. We're developing life long customers here people! Welcome to the Peanut Gallery!

First of all, congrats to Paul Hamm - the all-time first ever American male to win an individual Olympic gold medal of all time in the history of the world ever! As Emily says, he's the 'biggest gymnastics stud ever!' Really. Ever. Last night urlLink Amanda and I went to see urlLink Andy Davis sing at The End. He's a fabulous local nobody, and we were starstruck. Just a little, but I was still laughing at myself. But alas! We are one degree closer to greatness - Amanda realizes she knows the bass player! Now we are 1 degrees to Andy Davis and 2 degrees to urlLink Dave Barnes . However, if Bass Player knows Dave, we are just 1 degree separated! This could lead to many fun 'How Many Degrees?' games....such as degrees to urlLink John Mayer . Dave knows him so that means we are only like 3 degrees from him. Can we act on this please? In celcius preferrably. (I heart John Mayer.) Hark!-I have gotten off track again. Andy only played 7 songs I believe. However, all my favorites were played so I am super happy. One of the new songs was unfortunate and contained the worst sound I've ever heard in my life - I did not know that a guitar could reproduce the sound of nails on a chalkboard, did you? Another new song was a fun little diddy about a girl with brown eyes. It was called 'Brown Eyes.' My assumption that it was, indeed, written for and about me was correct. Right? It's about me right? I'm in the mood to let my love for amazing lyrics show. I'd like to make a page for this exclusively and let it continually grow. 'We'll rent a comedy, rewind the best parts, and memorize the lines.' (from 'Laugh So You Don't Cry') 'When it gets down to it I hear background music when I see you.' (from 'Magic') 'You know when you steal away, thoughts in my head are nails in my bed, and keep me awake.' (from 'I Never See You') 'It's safe to say that you forgot you wanted me to tie that knot; This fella don't know what he's got...oh, oh how it hurts to watch, we could've had so much...' (from 'Hurts To Watch') 'I still think I hear you pulling in but you wouldn't know why cause you're the one who's on the leaving end; if you waved goodbye and you saw me cry would you believe me then?' (from 'Black Keys')

A fter the urlLink Titans game on Saturday night, the 3 Amigas went to urlLink O'Charley's . Why? 1) We were hungry. 2) It's Amanda's favorite restaurant. 3) We had $2 off by presenting our ticket stubs! (aw yeah!) So in the midst of our random conversation, we get on the topic of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. I can't remember how it happened.....perhaps urlLink Amanda quoted it. So we all begin reminiscing about the movie and urlLink Emily knows just about every line and Amanda can do the accent. ('Do you talk to the dolphin? Does he call you at home?') So guess what! Today, on my way home from work, I saw one! It got on at 37th and off at 43rd where I assume it was going to Bloomingdale's to buy a hat, which will turn out to be a mistake. Sorry, wrong movie. So today, on my way home from work, I saw one! A pet detective that is. It was a funny looking Dodge Ram that caught my attention and when I drove past I saw that it said 'pet detective' on the side! He had a very large cage in the back and was driving slowly. He had a single red 'cop light' on the top of the truck, which scared my speeding self to death when I first saw it. After I got home today, I threw away the petals from the first roses a guy ever sent me. Yes, it was just last year. However, I've moved on and now I'm moving (geographically) and the petals, unfortunately, are not worthy of gaining spot in the new apartment. I'm sorry Josh. They were fabulous.

Alright, so I'm still playing around with the fabulous blog. I put the cowgirl picture in my profile. OK, yeah, I do like that picture. It was taken at Mule Day 04. Yes folks, this is why I moved to Tennessee. This was my first Mule Day experience but people apparantly come from all over the country. Mules are some funny looking creatures, and quite entertaining to those watching the 'mule pull.' The motto for this year's Mule Day was 'Three Cheers for the Long Ears!' Yep, they got some long ears. There's also a parade, and crafts, and games, and bad bad bad food like funnel cakes and fried twinkies. Something tells me those weren't invented by Dr. Atkins. I'm still gettin' the hang of this. Trying to insert pictures of the mules confused my computer. It did not confuse me; it confused my computer and blogger.com

Well folks, this is my first post of my first blog. I am no longer a blog virgin. Speaking of the V word, I saw Britney Spears wearing a t-shirt yesterday that said 'I'M A VIRGIN' and then in smaller letters underneath that it said 'But this is a really old shirt.' Pretty funny if you think about it. I like a dry sense of humor. I have wondered what, exactly, would constitute a wet sense of humor? I think it is those people (ie: 60-year-old men) who think they are SO FUNNY that they have to make a stupid comment to you every time they see you, and then they laugh because they think they are hilarious. Plus, they always have hearty laughs that sound as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard. However, that was a tangent and I didn't mean to go past the 'blog virgin' sentence. Suffice this to say that although I hope Did I Shave My Legs For This is entertaining, I do not know how devoted I can be to it. I really just made this so I can post comments on Amanda Jane's blog....but it's kinda neat :) BTW, is anyone getting my Deana Carter allusion? I shall explain in a future blog. (Oh, did you hear that? There WILL be more!!!) Speaking of blog names, 'Flying Wombat' IS TAKEN! I have GOT to look up the joker who stole my thunder on that one. If they only knew how they've desecrated something so sacred. (More to come on this later as well. Remind me.)

So....           We (my mother and myself) went to this little thing at 'church', hosted by my grandmother to which I brought my beast (Rocky). It was a themed thing and two others had brought their 'dogs' as well. Basically we just sat and talked and little people (the children) messed around with the doggies...and then...Skila (my little cousin) begins to cry...because she doesn't want me or my beast to be there. So my mother and I eventually left mainly because of this. By the time we arrived to our vehicle my mother was crying because basically our own family had just pushed us out of yet another gathering...that and my great aunt is mad at her for some unknown reason and  she is growing tired of everyone rejecting us...for whatever reason.

Here we go again...                                   I suppose I am starting over with this...since I deleted the last one I had...I just didn't need anyone else to read what I had written. I suppose it was a bit personal. I would like to say I will refrain from such this time...but I'm making no promises since I never meant for the last one to get so...deep. I guess I get carried away sometimes. I would also do the whole,'I don't know why I am doing this since there is no one who will actually read it.' but I thought that last time too and apparently I was wrong since people did read it and then they cried and then they made other people cry and on and on...but as I said I am going to try to keep this from getting that personal and deep so no one can really see from the words here the...torment of sorts that goes on inside me. Most internal injuries cannot heal alone. Thankfully, I have finally found someone who is helping me in that...helping alot, in fact. Simply knowing that someone as wonderful and caring as he is exists is doing wonderful things for my state of being (no I am not speaking of any kind of God...If you don't know who I am talking about then perhaps you should stay tuned because I am sure he will come up alot and eventually you will understand). I am still the same in some sense, but through him I am finding something absolutely amazing within me. I love him more than I ever thought possible....and now I am done babbling about that...for a while at least.                                   Anyway, if you were among those who read bits of my former 'blog' then I suppose I will let you know that alot of things have changed (even though I only took it down a month? ago). My mom is learning to tell people to kiss her ass after all these...32 years and is working on figuring things out in all aspects of her life. She is a much happier person in general now. Jon...yeah, I still hate him with everything within me, but I am trying to forgive him for alot of things...trying. I haven't even so much as talked to Ryan on IM in atleast a month. I am realizing more and more that what I had with him wasn't what I wanted to make myself believe it was. On July 8th, 2004 I met the person who is changing my life for the better in extreme ways (Yes...I know this was only 18 days ago, but I actually don't feel like I walking blindly into it this time...and I understand if you don't undertand that...I didn't understand it for a while myself, but the difference I feel with him is incredible.) as far as the whole church thing goes...I am working on that too. I haven't been in a long time. It's not something that's easy to figure out, and I am not willing to say that I will figure it out any time soon...I simply don't think I am strong enough to have so much faith in something that has been shoved down my throat with such force that it has choked out alot of truths that I have needed for so long. I honestly hope that eventually I grow enough to gain the strength to have so much faith in something like that.                                    It is a bit of a bad thing that I can already see this getting as bad as the last one, but as I said, I am getting better about alot of things. So, perhaps this can be filled with fewer painful things.We will see I suppose. I will try to stop myself in order to keep it under control...but sometimes I don't realize the way my thoughts will effect (affect? ack...I always get them confused) others.                                      I suppose I am done for now. I realize that this wasn't exactlly the hourly updated 'I went to Wal-Mart with my mom.' kind of thing that most people have...if you read any of my last you will probably remember a few entries that were like that...or that started out like that and ended up on a totally different note...one similar to the tone of this one.                                                                                    ThE EnD

Here's a really interesting quote from Edward Gorey, an author and illustrator I've been studying. 'I have a dumb theory that a creative piece of art is only interesting if it purports to be about something and is really about something else ... in other words, I take some sort of given, but by the time I'm finished with what I wanted it to be about, what I really wanted it to be about has crept into it.' What I think Gorey is saying here is that in order to make art interesting, the artist starts out envisioning one end, and when it is finsihed that is still true, but other elements have seeped in through the subconcious to give the piece another layer. If we can do this, we're set.

I've been familiar with urlLink Dada for quite some time now, actually. I think it's fascinating. It sort of strikes me as what I'm trying to do now (the name was chosen randomly out of a dictionary), except more anarchistic. It was the predecessor to urlLink Surrealism , which is also really cool. They also did have a purpose: 'The Dada artists were actually fuelled by disillusionment and moral outrage at the unprecedented carnage of World War One.' The problem lies in that they were trying to create anti-art. Which is acceptable, I guess, but defeats the purpose of an Art Movement in the first place. Lessons: You can start an art movement just for the sake of starting one, but it won't go anywhere unless you have some sort of goal or idea .

Ah, the wonders of the Internet. I can get information on any subject in the fraction of a second. Here's some links I found: urlLink Art Movements and Periods urlLink Modern Art Movements urlLink A whole site about Art Movements! As I peruse these short explinations, I see some common threads emerging. In fact, I think we can categorize Art Movements by these five categories: method , look, subject, idea, and media . Media, method,   and look are all closely related. By media I mean, of course, the type of art used to express the movement. More often then not, this is painting. But a few movements have expanded into sculpture, architecture, film, etc. By method I mean a new way to use an existing media, like pointilism or (to a lesser extent) fauvism. Look is either a byproduct of method, or a purposly new look. Using pointilism obviously created a new look, but the movement was based in the method. Art Deco, on the other hand, was based in the new look. Subject is usually less important, and depends on the personal preferences of the artists participating in the movement. For example, the impressionist artists preferred to paint landscapes and scenes from everyday life, but this was not what the movement was about. However, the Ash Can School and futurism were based in a completely new subject matter. Idea is where the differences start to appear. An idea could be a reaction to another movement, but it usually turns into some idea that the artists are trying to promote. Pop Art started as a reaction to abstract painting, but turned into a movement to 'bring art back into the daily life of people'. I haven't had a chance to look at that third site yet, so I'll be looking at that for more detailed explinations of interesting movements. I don't claim to be any sort of art expert, but these five categories will help myself and others who may join me define our movement.

I'm going to start an Art Movement. I don't know  how, I don't know why, but it's going to happen. I don't really even know that much about Art, or even what an Art Movement consists of. It just struck me as something I'd like to do. So, over the next few days and weeks, I'll be reserching, coming up with ideas, and charting my progress here. You can come along and watch if you'd like.

Yes, it's hard to believe, but the day is finally here. This whole art movement idea started as an innocent discussion between myself, Rhema (she commented a while back), and Joia (who we have yet to hear from). It wasn't a joke, although it might have been recieved as one, but I knew in the back of my mind I actually wanted to do it. I mean, how cool would it be to start an art movement? Frickin' awesome. Yeah, anyway, you can probably tell I'm concentrating on other things right now. I'm halfway through a two-week playwriting workshop and my play is taking up about three-fourths of my brain right now. But, I'm committed to writing a post every day. I'm glad you could join me.

I don't really have anything to say today. Just that I think it's time we got some people together on a mailing list or something and start working this out. But where to find them? Once we get started, people who are interested will come to us, but how do we get the initial group to come to us? If there's anyone out there, please feel free to urlLink email me if your interested in joing my new (albiet currently ambigous) movement.

Art has to be about something, right? It doesn't neccesarily have to present any solutions, but it should at least raise an issue or present an idea. So how about this: a debate in the form of art. Here's what I mean. If all art raises an idea, then you create a piece with an idea, and that is your opening argument. Then, if other artists agree with you, then can let it be. But, if someone doesn't agree with you, they can create  their own piece in response to yours. This can go back and forth, branching off and switching artists, if the whole community of the movement is involved. So, for example, I could create a short story that presented some sort of idea. One of my artist friends agrees with me partially, but not entirely, and creates a painting to convey his position. Another artiost in the community disagrees with me completely, and writes a song about his point of veiw. Meanwhile, someone else is working on a play in response to my friend's painting. I'm just saying. Wouldn't it be cool? Just a little bit?

Today's lesson is a very simple one, taken from some Canadian artists called the urlLink Group of Seven : you only need seven people to have an art movement.

I love what urlLink Pop Art was trying to do. Believing that abstract art was too esoteric, the Pop Artists decided to make mass-producable art for the common man. (Not to mention it was related to Dada! Hooray!) This is a commendable goal, but we need to take it a step further. We need to have a movement that is available to the common artist. Everyone who creates art, in whatever form (painting, writing, music, what have you) should be able to have some part of our movement. This way, we will encourage growth of all aspiring and existing artists.

Good song good song...Shania Twain is the only country type person i like. lol I worked the register all by myself today at work...so fun. I love work...i don't see y ppl complain lol....but i'm told it gets old fast. The cutest little girl was talkin to me when she went through the line saying 'Be extra careful not to break the eggs...cuz then the egg monster will come, and we dont want that.' lolol MCAS was pretty annoying today in school. It wasn't hard...just annoying. I was supposed to hang out with Eric and Melissa tomorrow night but I switched hours with a girl from work so i gotta work 5-10. But hey, more money for me :) 2 more days till the Kiss Concert! I'm almost more excited to take the limo there lolol. But it kinda sucks that i have to get up at 5 to be ready for 7. Thats the same time i fricken get up for school. But its all worth it to see Maroon 5...

How is everyone on this lovely night of May 19th?? I'm simply wonderful...a little cold though. Today was pretty dull. Nothing out of the ordinary happened...besides the 'dead people' walking around school today...that kinda bummed and creeped me out at the same time. Erika came over after school and we played a little volleyball-type thing with my sister with my giant red bouncy ball. It's amazing how many times we let the ball roll into the street before we realized that if we moved higher into the lawn that that probably wouldn't happen...lol. I decided to take a shot at asking my mom if I could drive around the neighborhood with Erika. That was a big NO. haha. Later, Jenn came and picked us up and we went to Jay Gees and got some ice cream. I got vanilla soft serve with extra gummi bears on top lol...lets just say i ate all the gummi bears and none of the ice cream...cuz thats how i do yo. lol There is officially 3 days until the Kiss Concert :)It's gonna be so much fun. I'm planning on meeting Maroon 5, The Calling, Jessica Simpson, Kimberly Locke, and possibly Avril Lavigne...cuz i'm curious to see if she really is a bitch. lol I'm pretty upset that Simple Plan isn't gonna be there this year...but I guess I can deal. I think thats all I have to say for today. I should get to bed now...Math MCAS in the morning...fricken awesome huh? NOT! Goodluck to everyone else who has to take them...hope u do better than I do! :) Peace out homie g dawgs yo. So I FaLL I dOn'T wAnNa FeEl ThIs sMaLL YoU kNoW i JuSt CaN't HaNdLe ThIs HaNdLe ThIs At aLL AnD i'LL jUsT FaLL i'LL lEt My HeArTbEaT dRoP I fAlTeR aS tHe MuSiC sToPs AnD yOu WaTcH mE aS I sTaLL AnD wOnDeR wHeN i FaLL... ~SoMeThInG cOrPoRaTe

Hey guys. This is my very first entry...isn't that exciting? I'm excited. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up with this one. I sucked at the other one. Well, I just walked to my uncle's house from the orthodontist. Guess who gets their braces off next month? :)if u said Stephanie..ur riiight! I swear to God a tear fell down my cheek and i just got THE biggest smile on my face when he ever told me. lolol Today we had the English MCAS at school which was incredibly easily. The only thing I'm worried about is Math. I sucked and 1/2 at Math this year. Geometry sucks...bring on the Algebra! lol This week, they put me on the schedule for work on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. And figures, the first Saturday they put me on, I can't work cuz I have the Kiss 108 Concert :). So now i'm panicking to find someone to take my hours...which seems to be impossible. So I think I'm just gonna go sometime today to tell the guy that I can't come in. And thats the end of my story...I'm off to listen to some Maroon 5...gonna see them on Saturday :)

Halo!!!!!!!!!!! Bz dis days... Aniwae got a lot of things to say... Haiz, dunno when this things will end... Yesterday was my skool's NDP Celebration... Damn, it was boring... Our Band was shit... Screwed up on the fanfare.. Wat a shame... As Mr Chew said, ''THE GREAT SWISS WINDS' is gone... Talk more bout band later... Niwae, bout the celebration, the parade was good but wat saddened me is dat my dearest FADHLI didn't march... Dunno why... No wonder he looks so moody... Worst part, after our performance we were not aloud to go back to our house... The band was especially shameless, they were not sporty... Spoilt the whole fun alot of times... Fuck the band man... Seniors sux... Just b'cos there are in sec3 they can boss us around... Got hand, got leg, dunno how to carry instrument... FUCK!!!!!!!!!! Niwae, then was the house games... Niwae, he won third. N brown house won the overall championship... Blue got second... Brown house really mesmerize me cos they are very small in numbers but their spirit is high.... Blue house made a joke out of themselves.. So slow in responding... I tink green won third... Not sure... N worst still go back to school the majors lecture us... Actually i blame 97% of wat we are now to the majors... Talk to people but they themselves are the same... Sux!!!!!!!!!!!! Feel like quittin band... Niwae, about the band, i dunno wats up wit it... I'm also giving up on it dat's y i absent myself today... Mr chew also the same... He noes our band standard has drop but yet he still wants to carry on playing Scootin for SYF... I hate that song n i guarentee if we play dat song, we are dead... We are not even half way thru the song and iwe are less than 1 year from the competition... Band just sux... They better make me become somethin useful in the band in future... Or else... I dunno... Niwae i really hope i can become the student conductor or something or major or at least a QM... Well, let's just wait n see... Niwae, i've been reading alot of other people's blog... Nice... Read: Erlinnna, Fahmy, Faezah, Bryan, Paula, Jennifer n alot of others....

Venho mais uma vez postar uma letra...desta vez é da Dead Boy's Poem...Leiam a letra com a música de preferência...é excelente... Dead Boy´s Poem Born from silence, silence full of it A perfect concert my best friend So much to live for, so much to die for If only my heart had a home   Sing what you can`t say Forget what you can`t play Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes Walk within my poetry, this dying music - My loveletter to nobody   Never sigh for better world It`s already composed, played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night   Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin Died for the beauty the one in the garden Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom Failed in becoming a god   Never sigh for better world It`s already composed, played and told Every thought the music I write Everything a wish for the night   'If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it Remember only the verse, songmaker`s cry, the one without tears For I`ve given this its strength and it has become my only strength. Comforting home, mother`s lap, chance for immortality Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew The sweet piano writing down my life'   'Teach me passion for I fear it`s gone Show me love, hold the lorn So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me I`m sorry Time will tell (this bitter farewell) I live no more to shame nor me nor you And you... I wish I didn`t feel for you anymore...'   A lonely soul... An ocean soul...   Nightwish, 'Wishmaster'

Aki tou eu mais uma vez..mas vou só deixar a letra d uma música d Nightwish...mto fixe kurto mm bué...Amanhã ou assim posto + kalker cena...   End Of All Hope It is the end of all hope To lose the child, the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had This life unforgiven It will end with a birth   No will to wake for this morn To see another black rose born Deathbed is slowly covered with snow   Angels, they fell first but I'm still here Alone as they are drawing near In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung   It is the end of all hope To lose the child, the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had This life unforgiven It will end with a birth   Wounded is the deer that leaps highest And my wound it cuts so deep Turn off the light and let me pull the plug   It is the end of all hope To lose the child, the faith To end all the innocence To be someone like me This is the birth of all hope To have what I once had This life unforgiven It will end with a birth   Mandylion without a face Deathwish without a prayer End of hope End of love End of time The rest is silence   Nightwish, 'Century Child'

It's been two days since the last band practice...Although on that day I wasn't very pleased. Hahaz...no, no scoldings or anything like that. Okay, it was like this. Combine in the music room, playing all the songs we were doing for the upcoming performance...'Ok, take out your Final Countdown' Oh the joy of hearing that! Hehez...Final Countdown is my personal favourite...especially with myself at the drumset. He started, went around four bars into the song, and then stopped. 'Ok, Final Countdown so easy, I don't think you all need to practice. Take out your Washington Post.' KAOZ! I was havin so much fun (although it was only four bars) and he just stopped! Nevermind that. You should've seen the look on my face. =p Number two for lost opportunities! The final part for the practice; the great competition repertoire! Only me and one of my juniors were on the snare drum then. He turned to face me and said...'Khairul, this is our big solo!' I nodded back, skillfully throwing my sticks into the air and catching them on the other side. 'Let's do this!' The excitement was there...we were revved up and ready to go... The fanfare began, and adrenaline rushed inside of me...and when it ended, it happened again! He stopped again...and said 'Go to 197!' DUDE! THAT'S LIKE, THE END OF THE REPERTOIRE ALREADY! Oh well, gotta put up with it. Hope that doesn't happen again...=p Alright, I think I've said enough...

Yes, I am forgetting her...slowly but surely...but there's only one thing that keeps bothering me...Everytime I see her, I still have this strange feeling inside me...I don't quite know how to explain it...I just feel it. It's becoming pretty hard for me to do this...Frankly, I don't really know if I can. But I knew from the start of this that it would be better for the both of us...Especially after I was enlightened by my god-ma on that fateful day... I always saw Her as the perfect little angel, cute and lovable, very kind, very...laughable. At that time I knew she'd be the one for me. But it might have been my fault that it didn't work out, as I am obviously horrible at initiating a relationship. I dunno why, don't ask me. Should get the Idiot's Guide to Love thingy...or what's it called...Anyway, after that day in the canteen, I realized Her true self. (Please...don't mind me typing this...) She, as I had always thought, (although I refused to believe) was a flirt...Yes, there, I said it. She liked to hang around with other guys, acting so close to them. Of course you would know how I felt when that happened. (You know, I really don't mind now.) But in spite of that I perservered, trying every ways and means to get her attention, but to no avail. When I finally decided that I'd give up all hopes of starting anything with her, I was torn apart, basically. It felt like, Slash, criss cross, jab, slice, then ripped, quartered, then torn to little pieces...Yes, it was a tough decision (apart from what I had to decide on before that...Ughh...) But it was sensible as I had thought, and the same with my peers. I knew I'd done the right thing... Just seeking to do well with what I have now...and cherish others who truly care for me...I learnt a lot from this...Can you tell? Nevermind. Thanks God-Ma!!

One thing learnt today in the life of copying conductor scores...KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE FRICKIN' NOTES! Yeah, it DID happen to me today. I was, you know, practicing writing scores for the band sections...and I was actually doing a 3rd Clarinet score...alright...a semiquaver here...half rest, and FINALLY, a quaver to end it all! Oh, the joy in completing almost half an hour or hard work...but little did I know... ... Enter Kenrick... 'Very good...so fast finish? hm...wait a minute...aren't you supposed to be doing the 3RD CLARINET score?' He said...a chill trickled its way down my spine...I then realized...'OH CRAP! THIS SCORE IS FOR 1ST CLARINET!!!' Man, you can't EVER realize the pain...Hahaz...Lesson learnt...KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!! =p

Something BIG happened today...something REALLY BIG...Too bad I have sworn not to dig any deeper or reveal anything related. And with that, I have decided NOT to go deeper into this issue. It's hurtin' me as much as them, trust me. Woohoo! BAND TOMORROW!!! Can't wait...The new songs roxorz...but there's just this one thing...I'M GOING TO CONDUCT ONE OF THEM!!! This shocking sh*t smacked me in the face when my the P man announced it during the last band practice...Yes, I should be confident, but the skill of conducting leaves a lot to be desired. Take me under your instruction, Kenrick!!! Teach me to be like you!!! Or...maybe not. Just teach me how to be a great conductor... =p Well, about the relationship thing...I've made up my mind...to completely give up on it. Truthfully, I don't really see any future with myself going on like a love blinded idiot. Why should I torture myself with this thing when I can use the lost time to make up for what I have now? Didn't really see things that way before last week...I was truly blinded by love. But rest assured I won't let this thing happen for a long long time. I WILL NOT! (For the time being). And kudos to Lisa Cheng for tearing off part of my shirt pocket. Oh how I longed for the beautiful satisfying sound of cotton and polyester ripping apart. The great moment. The hanging pocket. Excellent...First my pants pocket, now my SHIRT pocket...what next? I'll leave that up to her to decide...The great Punut Pincher...Don't blame me for calling her that. Hahaz...I just realized something...why waste my love on someone unworthy, when I waste it on other people? I love my family, my friends...(Yes, I do have a great love, yes, I do mean love, for all my friends. Some are bastards, some are bitches, but, yes, I do love them as friends.) Okay, that's enough...OWWWWWWWWCHHH!!! Gettin a cramp in my little finger! Gotta go! =D

Phew...After a tiring day at band...well...my eyes are sore...and the worst thing about it is...I have absolutely no idea why. Man, I'd hate to tell you this, but I kinda hate too much responsibility. Sure, I'll try to cope with upcoming events, but sometimes it just gets too much for me. Plus I got another thing on my mind today, with the help of my beloved god-ma, to bother me for quite some time. In fact, it's been bothering me for a VERY long time. I'm having second thoughts about initiating a relationship, or in short, I'm thinking of giving up on a girl I've truly loved for the past year. Whether she feels it or not, I don't really care anymore. I just cant't take the pain of loving someone and not having her feel the same for me...oh well. Put the bad things behind you and get along with life...Gee, this blogger thing is really helping me relieve some stress...=p

Hopelessly sick for three days in a row with hardly any energy to lift a finger and generating heat like a nuclear power plant, yeah, I was just there...lyin' around, trying to get those weird voices out of my head. But look on the bright side! Oops...wait...what bright side...Oh no matter, a great day in band tomorrow will definitely cheer me up. I can't wait to see all my pals and tap that ol' drum of mine. *yawnz*...hm....those antibiotics are really deep. Well, gotta go shake them off with a can of beer...hehe...just kiddin'. See ya!

Hey, YOU! Yes YOU! You brainless moronic backstabbing bastards! I just don't get the idea of you IGNORANT people doing this kind of thing! Yes, I know, you may be bursting with laughter and jumping with joy when you see me venting my anger on this little post here, but LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! If YOU (********************) don't like something about the BAND, YOU JOLLY WELL COME HERE *poinTs to the ground* AND TELL IT TO US STRAIGHT! BY DOING THIS KIND OF STUPID THING AND BREAKING APART SOMETHING BUILT OVER YEARS, YOU ARE FORCING ME TO SHATTER YOUR BONES AND RIP OUT YOUR INNARDS! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE? OH, NO, OF COURSE NOT! YOUR BRAINS ARE TOO FULL OF STUPID IDEAS THAT BRING HARM TO OTHERS! WELL SINCE YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA, LET ME TELL YOU! YOU HAVE JUST MADE THE BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER KNOWN TO MANKIND! YOU HAVE BROKEN UP THE BOND THAT HAS HELD TWO BANDS TOGETHER FOR THE PAST TEN OR SO YEARS! I HAVE MADE MISTAKES IN THIS BAND, BUT NONE OF THEM AS STUPID AND IDIOTIC AS THIS! WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR HEADS? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? To all the Seniors, and to Mr Poh, thanks alot for all you've done for me and the band. Without you, we would've never reached this point, although this may not be our peak. Mr Poh, all the punishments, all the scoldings, all were worth it. Yes, you DO scold sometimes for the fun of it, but mostly, yes, I was in the wrong. Seniors, all the time you spent in the field with us, all the things you taught us, the scoldings (too.) you've given us, all paid off on April 17th, and even after that you never failed to carry on what you've been doing for the past 7-8 months. You have the band's as well as my utmost gratitude. As for Mr Poh leaving the bands, I really hope you do find something you can really do and love doing in the future, and may you score with distintion in all your subjects. Uphold what you've achieved in year 1, don't forget it! You have our fullest support to the very end. Lastly, to all the Majors and past committee members; I have never seen a better system, EVER. You have helped Mr Poh to maintain and improve the standard that these bands have achieved. Without you, this band would have fallen years ago. Thank You. P.S. You sons (and daughters) of b****es, you will NEVER come to a good end! Die a horrible death and never be remembered! SO LONG! Muahahaz

WoaH...havenT been updating my bLog lately...some of my *ahem* avid readers may have noTiced...havenT you? Hahaz...de performance at Fengshan CC yesterdaE was a bLast...had lots of fun. Although where we performed our repertoire wasn't actually IN the CC...but rather outside...across the street in the middle of a couple of HDB blocks. Not many people were seen there...save a few groups in the concourse area and perhaps alot more up in the corridors looking down at the Titans below. ~TITANS RULE!~ We acTually had to repeat a few songs over again...around two songs were played twice...the competition repertoire was one of them...man...my arms were about to fall off after the second one...=D Well well, who would've known? Zack continued the tradition I set during my first year in the band. During every major performance since I started playing the drumset I would ALWAYS drop my stick(s) while playing Tequila. Hahaz...Zack wanted to play the song yesterdae, so I let him. And little did I know what was coming. He dropped both sticks during the solo part and I had to take over and recover. He's learning I can see. Although he seemed pretty phobious of the drumset after that incident. He still has a lot to learn...I don't blame him. Neither does the band. The preparation and the keeping of the chairs and intruments was a horror...much time was taken up. I still remember the time when one of the toms dropped right off the drumset after my junior (who shall NOT be named) attempted to carry it all the way. The poor guy had to hold on to the tom whilst we used the drumset in case it fell off. I guess my section leader's words didnt entirely get into his head. We let him hold on to something that would'nt fall apart when he touched it after the performance. Surprisingly, I wasn't a bit nervous while conducting Final Countdown...I just went with the flow, and the band followed intently. Luckily I remembered to go faster after the first four bars...And I felt so relieved when I didn't mess up big time during my own drumset solos...Thanks to Ben for not holding the last note so long...=P Yeah...great day that was...Need to prepare for the MOE rehearsal tomorrow...I think I've written enough...cyaz!!

I...read a couple of friends' bLogs recently...and I noticed that there was sort of a...link between them...And...well...When I discovered it I was actually on the verge of crying...I mean...this thing is...big...really big. AffecTs me alot...it will, I guess. This may very well mark the end of something buiLt over years. Something I want to see go on, insTead of just stopping in its tracks and shattering. So, then...I do hope that there really is no link between these bLogs...I do hope so. eRmz...if...you know, you'rE reading this, I really hope you two...you know, sort things ouT?

Looks like I'm still feelin it for her...although I don't know why...You should know who laHz...I dunno...Today She came for band, and for some reason I just could'nt take my eyes off her for one second. I realized that I couldn't just 'forget' Her as and when I wished...It'd take time. Now that's the most painful part in this little chapter. I'm making progress, as I know, but I seriously don't know how long it'll take to really go back to how it was before. On the way home after band...was with CY the language-challenged one and a few others at Bedok Interchange...Something else happened...The most unexpected, as I would say. She and a guy (who shall not be named) walked past, I think She noticed us, but I didn't really pay attention. Yes, He was sending her home. No business of mine. But somehow I started pressing on the bottle in my left hand. After a bit, the bottle was completely crushed under my fingers...Pain? Anger, perhaps? This is getting too much, I think. It's just that...with my position in *ahem* 'society' right now, it isn't right to carry on like this. I seriously want to get away from this thing, but it will take time. Although I do hope it doesn't take too long... Band arHz? Fun lah todae...Not really for my section members though...Sectional marching the whole morning till noon. I feel sorry for them frankly...=p Oh come on, I'm not being sarcastic...I'm the caring compassionate type, you know? I was busy writing scores for the sideliners...no choice, Kenrick told me to do it. Mostly marching today, unlike the past few practices (rather enjoyable, those...) So happy that we completed the Firebird formation today...Best Band award is in the bag!! =p =D =O

Just sorta made things clear lasT nitE with sammie...yes, I know, she's a good girl and a fine choice, but I just don't want to get another taste of the pain I've feLt not too long ago. I need to busy my life with something else other than love. Oh how wrong I was to try and start it off long long ago...only to fail in the end... Tomorrow is a band dae...I'm expecting a few BORING hours of secTionaLs and then combine when the 20 or so peopLe return from the rehearsaL...We're playing so many new songs! Alvamar, Folklore, Inferno...Inferno of which is soOoOoOoOo hard...grade 5 worz...highest grade in band music (or is it?) and if the percussion score can already make you dizzy, what about the woodwinds? Horrifying...LoLz. Alvamar was surprisingly easy to sighTread on the first day...I can't say the same for the rest of the band. I do consider percussion one of the easiest sections in the band (no offense, percussionisTs) Really looking forward to playing all these songs toMorroW...Wah...my wriTing hand very pain worz...had to copy 4 chinese compos juz nw...punishMenT lahz...stupid mdm wan...aiya...in a rush to go homE...so juZ copy 3 n stuff it in the pigeoN hoLe outside the staff room... Oh well...that's it...hand pain...cyaZ!

So ends the final chapter of the Titans...Just a few days ago the great band had separated and gone their own separate ways...and soon Ping Yi will have a new instructor...Ong Tee Hoe I think...Although I'm quite grateful that Mr Poh would agree to stay longer with Springfield...I remember the first day when we combined with Ping Yi...the opening of a new chapter...The time when we got to know the Ping Yians and make new friends...The time when I wasn't punished so much...=p Many months, countless days and hundreds of hours under the merciless scorching sun had come to this, and ended as quickly as it had began. It all went by so fast, as it seemed...Brings me back to the time when I just came into the Springfield band...The day when I picked up my first pair of drumsticks. Although I was aloof and over confident at that time...I slowly came to grow attached to the band and developed great respect for my superiors. Kind of like my Drum Major when he first entered the band, eh? As the final hour went past we were there standing on the track waiting for the march in command...The last 8 minutes on that glorious field...And then we would march out again onto the track...facing the grandstand filled with thousands of people to await the results of the competition. The best Drum major award was passed, then the best Display Band award...And then I realized, that for this year...It just wasn't meant to be. Although we didn't get anything in the end...Mr Poh was very pleased with our performance; perhaps the best we've accomplished so far in these 8 months. And little did I realize...when we were back on the grass patch outside the stadium getting ready to head on back to school...that after the next few hours the Titans would go their separate ways...Maybe we wouldn't see each other for the next two years, when the bands come together again, or maybe forever, if we were to enter alone. So many things left unfinished...so many questions left unanswered... ... ... But this formation of the Titans has forged me into someone I knew I could never be. In the past 8 months I had learnt countless things...techniques, virtues, character. Every practice helped me in one way or another. This was no waste of time, surely. The seniors came back to help us and guide us in our quest toward the Gold, and in the end, we got it. And this is the start of a new beginning. Almost everything will change, but the biggest change to me...will be when he leaves after 30th July. Seems to me that I won't be learning as much as I did before. Seems I won't accomplish as much as I did before...So many things... So many things...

After hours (and when I say hours I mean minutes) of scheming, Dakota and I came up with a plan! :::a little man runs in with a trumpet and plays three notes: dun dun dun!::: Y'all can POST YOUR STORIES HERE!!! :::dun dun dun!::: :::Takes out dagger and hurls it, instantly killing the little trumpeter::: Anyway, you can POST YOUR STORIES HERE and I will critique them! You may see a critique or two by someone named Agent9 or something similar. If so, don't be alarmed. It's just Dakota. I admit, he is a pretty scary guy, but I'm sure his critiques are something you can all handle. ANYWAY, that said, POST, GOSHDARNIT!!!!

Hello, everyone. I am Kathleen, known as the Hell Giver on the Suggestions for Book Topics message board at AOL. Sadly, AOL is gay and decided that I was not worthy of its approval. Thus, I now cannot log on or check my email account (which is probably chock-full of advertisements for 'Hot Russian Brides')and, even sadder, I cannot visit my board. Grrruf!! That makes me very angry. Very angry indeed. And so I will be here...floating around on the Internet, waiting for someone to find me. Oh well. That's my swan song. :::takes a melancholy bow::: Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

If any of you remember Bruce Coville and his Unicorn Chronicles, here's the prologue of his third book in the series (which is unpublished and unfinished as of late). And now, Brucie, my good friend, I shall critique it. My comments, by the way are the italicized bits. Prologue: The Dimblethum stopped, looked around, sniffed the air. For a moment the huge creature thought he had caught the scent of something unpleasant . . . something dangerous. This is trite, or at least the way it's written is trite. And the use of 'huge' is...eh...okay, but the Dimblethum can definitely de described in a better way. But I do like how you start with the Dimblethum here, as the Dimblethum is generally a supporting character in the previous books. Holding himself as unmoving and silent as the silvery-blue trunks of the eldrim trees that surrounded him, he stood and listened intently. Better! Nothing. After a moment he moved on. He had parted from the gryphon, Medafil, two days earlier and now was making his way back to his own territory. Though he had never crossed this particular stretch of Luster before, the manbeast was guided by powerful instincts that pointed him back to his home ground. After his long journey to help his friend Cara rescue her grandmother, the Dimblethum was eager for the comfort and familiarity of his own cave. An hour or so later he stopped again, this time to gather sunberries from a low-growing bush. Savoring the sticky- sweetness of the bright yellow fruit, he remembered how much Cara had liked these berries. How was she faring with the unicorns? I like this. Nothing really outstanding, but the story is moving along nicely. Without realizing it, he curled his upper lip in something between a sneer and a snarl. Save for Lightfoot, he had little use for unicorns. Nor they for him. Eh...I don't care for 'without realizing it'. I'd probably say something like, 'His lip curled in an unintentional grimace that was someething between a sneer and a snarl.' The Dimblethum put the thought aside. He would have no more cause to deal with unicorns for now. Trying to think of more pleasant things, he decided he would try to catch a fish for dinner that evening, maybe one of the silvery ones with blue stripes that he liked so much. Again, I like the Dimblethum's thought patterns. Very bear/manlike indeed. Good job, Mr. Coville. The sun, hot against his shaggy hide, was making the Dimblethum drowsy. He yawned, opening his great muzzle so widely that the ferocious teeth were on clear display, then shook his head and rubbed his paws over his odd face, which looked like nothing so much as that of a bear who had begun to turn into a man and stopped halfway in the process. This second sentence is FAR too long. Chop it up a bit. Insects droned in the trees above him, their slow hum contributing to his drowsiness. Like it! He considered taking a nap, but decided to press on. He was eager to get home; he had been away for far too long. The Dimblethum was passing under a quilpum tree when a low voice whispered, 'I know what you want.' The Dimblethum stopped, looked up. There was no one in sight. Even so, the voice spoke again. 'I know what you want.' 'Go away!' growled the Dimblethum. He shook his head and started forward. 'I can go a world away and I'll still be close by,' whispered the voice. 'And no matter where I go, I'll always know what you want. The question is, do you know what you would give to have it?' 'Go away!' roared the Dimblethum. 'As you wisssssh,' sighed the voice. The Dimblethum heard a rustling sound, then nothing. He waited in the silence for a long moment, then leaned against the tree, covered his face with his paws, and began to weep. Lovely ending! Fabulous indeed. And thank you for using 'weep' instead of 'cry'. Many children's authors seem to think that, though children are dear and wonderful, their\ emotions are not as developed nor as deep as those of an adult. This is quite to the contrary. And this exhibition of familiar emotion is exactly how to entice children to read on. Great job, Bruce!

Recently I got a German Shepherd puppy named Annabel (aka 'Anna', 'Anna Danna', 'Annie', 'Quick! Catch Her Before She Poops Again!' and etc.) Since I got her four days ago she has done four things: sleep, eat, drink, and poop. She is definitely the most prolific pooper I've ever seen. I had to get up no less than seven times in one night to take her outside. And then it wasn't even solid stool. It's watery, runny, yucky stuff that stains carpet horribly. ...I'm sure this is horribly disgusting, and I apologize... ...sorry...

Recently Dakota and I saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . While it was much, much better than the previous movies (thank you, new director and new Dubledore!) it was still far from perfect. For one thing, Aunt Marge flew out the door and into England's skies. This never happened in the book. Harry was simply standing on a street corner when the Knight Bus approached, rather than summoning it with a Lumos spell. Who was that creepy guy who follwed Cornelius Fudge around? I don't remember him from the books... Ron and Hermione flirted quite a bit more than is in the books. In fact, Ron isn't really interested in Hermione until the fourth book. I don't recall Harry taking a long, drawn-out (though theatrically fantastic) flight on Buckbeak. Also, I remember there being several other hippogriffs rather than just Buckbeak. In the book, it wasn't Harry who saw Peter Pettigrew on the Marauder's Map; it was Professor Lupin. But in the movie it was the other way around. What was with that whole 'Harry in the Sky With Dementors' thing? That never happened! Where was Cho Chang? Where was Cedric Diggory? Why did the dementors suck a little bit of something out of Harry and Sirius when they were lying in the mud at the edge of the lake? They don't do that. Why didn't anyone tell Harry what the Dementor's Kiss was before the end of the movie? Why was it that when Sirius's soul was sucked out into the air (which never happened, by the way)he acted as though he were dead. I thought I remembered someone saying that 'one can live without a soul' and 'to live without a soul is far worse than death itself'. These were a few of the things I saw. There were more, but I'll spare you. In any case, this Harry Potter was far, far better than the previous two. But as LeVarr Burton of Reading Rainbow used to say, 'you don't have to take my word for it'.

Pretty soon I'll be going to a leadership seminar sponsored by my electric co-op. I can get up to $7,500 in scholarship money, so this is a good thing. However, I will not be able to critique stuff. That'll be next week, by the way. But no one has been posting much anyway (except Brandon. Thanks, Brandon!). Recently, I went to an ETWA meeting (East Texas Writers Association) at Casa Ole. There were a bunch of old people there. The youngest person besides myself was thirty-four! There was only one published author in the room: Tom McFarland, whom none of you have heard of, I'm sure. At the end of a really long discussion about cruises, these people decided to read their manuscripts. A very fat man (with embarrassingly low pants) named Gordon read a story called 'Charlie the Nose', which was a relatively good story about a man who mowed the grass on a golf course. Sadly, this was a rather uneventful story. He didn't ask for a critique. And good for him, because I probably would've burst his fat little bubble of security. Then the thirty-four-year-old read a few poems. He was pretty good. Very good, in fact. He was my favorite. I read my 'Jonathan Rigby and the Man Behind the Screen' and the first two chapters of Panola . Though I asked for critiques, no one had anything to say, other than Mr. Tom McFarland. He said, 'you need more setting. Other than that, it's great!' I considered this, and decided I couldn't use his critique. I want to introduce descriptions of the setting when the main character sees it for the first time (she is a child, after all). It would be more powerful that way. Shortly after, he read a story he'd written. OH MY GOSH! I'd expected much better. It started off pretty well, but then fell into complete mediocrity. And as we all know, mediocrity = bad. So if you meet a published author, don't assume that everything they write is good. I think that this guy just got lucky. Oh well. I hope we all have such luck in the future! Cheerio! And good luck to Mara in England!

Well, I'm in Waco today to watch my little brother play baseball in the World Series. It's only 2 and a half hours away, but it took us a little over six hours to get there, because a) my mother gave us the wrong directions b) we went to College Station, and c) We ran into construction...a lot of construction. So now I'm here in this hotel, eating fried fish and cheesecake and listening to Mr. Tom ask why I haven't done any drugs or drank any alchoholic beverages before and why I don't plan to...ever. Here's a bit of the conversation. Mr. Tom: Well, if you don't do drugs or alchohol, your shirts sure are fooling everyone else. Me: Why do you say that? Mr. Tom: Well, the last time I saw Kermit The Frog playing the guitar, I was drunk as hell at a Motley Crüe concert. On a lighter note, I read and critiqued Mara's 'Reflections' recently. Very interesting. You should read it. Dakota's sitting here, watching everything I type, so I'd better watch myself. I shant be too mean or...well...critical in this post. Darn it. Of course, Brandon is the only person who ever comes to this blog, anyway (Hi, Brandon!), so I suppose it doesn't matter that much anyway. Did anyone take the AP tests this year? If so, did any of you make a 5? I made two 4s, and I want to know how I can improve. I suppose it's silly of me, as I should be glad I passed the things in the first place (3 was the passing mark). Oh well. I'm P.O. ed and I have no idea why. Maybe I'm lonely. I miss my friends. I mean, I love being around Dakota every day, but I've just gone a long time without really talking to my friends in person. This doesn't include my Internet friends, by the way. I can talk to you guys anytime I want. Except Shane, who's off showing his Pony Of America, Oatie. (Go, Oatie!) Why do I feel like this? Am I just bored or what? Do I need to rest? Is my tongue coated? Do I have a fever? What is going on? Do any of you get depressed every now and then? If so, what do you do? Hmmmm...maybe I just need to curl up with a good book and a cup of Earl Grey in my very own corner of the Rusk County Mental Institution. A whole branch of my family tree is there anyway. I guess I'm just suffering from Kindred-Spirit-Withdrawl. I haven't really spoken to some of my friends in a long time. Even my best (girl) friend, Lauren. She was hosting a party at her house the other day, and we had to leave early to get home on time. I did talk to her, but not a really good, in-depth conversation. I've always thought that I didn't really need people, other than Dakota, but I guess I do. Weird, for a somewhat antisocial person. Oh well. I'm fine, I think. I'll just go to sleep. I'm probably just tired and grouchy from riding in the car all day. Nobody put me on the prayer list or anything (well, you can if you want). Well, I'm going to go sulk somewhere. Send me a story or something, someone. Keep me sane in this baseball-studded world! :::ducks flying baseballs:::

Well, I think it is. Ever since the eighth grade, a girl named Laura (whom I like to refer to as 'Arula') has been in loathe with me. And the weird thing is, I didn't do anything. You see, it all started off like this... Long ago, we were in the same kindergarten class. And we'd have singing contests and that sort of thing. Well, when it came time for the 'Talent Show', we both sang. I, however, got the most applause. She cried. And I suppose that's where this whole cycle started. We didn't have the same classes for years until I was in seventh grade and took drama. I went to One-Act that year and got All-Star Cast. The very next year, she auditioned for the One-Act and made it. Now, I'm trying to write this in a neutral POV, but she was horrible. Again, I got All-Star Cast, and she got nothing. Now, this never really bothered me. I tried to be nice to her. I stood up for her when people called her a b!tch. Now, I'm not trying to be conceited, so if I'm coming off that way, slap me. I know I'm not the best actress in the world, but I also know I'm not the worst. And Arula's definitely more toward the worst. I knew she'd taken all this poorly, so I didn't (and haven't) brought it up in her presence. There's nothign more annoying than someone rattling on about how great she is. Believe me, I know. But then I started to notice a pattern. Everything I did, she'd attempt to do. And she'd fail miserably. I mean, after I'd written The Princess and the Dragonslayer, our conversation went exactly like this: Kathleen : Hey, Laura. And how are you on this fine day? Arula : Oh, I'm fine. But I've been thinking lately. Kathleen : ...okay...(withholds urge to say 'a dangerous pasttime' like Lafou in Beauty and the Beast ). What about? Arula : I think I want to write a book. You know, about how Christian parents can raise good kids. Kathleen : And you would know about raising children how? Arula : It's obvious, really. I don't see why parents get all confused and then make...(with a glance at my combat boots) ...mistakes...with their kids. Kathleen : Okay. Go for it, I guess. (KATHLEEN starts to walk away) Arula : It should be easy. I mean, if you can write a book anyone can. (Now here's what should've happened) Kathleen : You talkin' to me? You talkin' to ME?! ARE YOU TALKIN' TO ME ?!?!?!?!?! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (KATHLEEN bodyslams ARULA) (What really happened) Kathleen : Um...okay. Right...uh...bye. Later on that year, I found that she'd been talking to my best friend behind my back, and had told her that she was 'worried about me, and thought Lauren (my best friend) ought to leave me alone,' because I was being 'slowly posessed by the Devil' because I read books with dragons in them. I talked to her, and she denied it wholeheartedly, so I let that one slide. Then, in my Freshman year of high school, she, Lauren and I had been put into a group to do a project over Treasure Island (horribel book!). It had been weeks and I was starting to wonder when we were going to work on our project, when Lauren said something like, 'Now, make SURE you can come to work on it tonight. It's almost done.' 'What?' I said. 'How can it be almost done? We haven't even started working on it yet!' Here she gave me a funny look and said, 'Laura and I've been working on it every Tuesday and Thursday for two weeks now. She always told me you'd said you couldn't come.' Needless to say, I confronted Arula. In a nice sort of way, of course. I merely said, 'All right, let's get this straight: I don't like you, and you don't like me. All I want to know is why.' She responded by saying that it was my whole personality that she detested. And then I left her alone, thinking she'd get over it. But she didn't. When I started dating Dakota, she started saying things about how lascivious (i.e.- a dirty slut) I was for dating a boy four years older than me (and, girls, they're not ALL lying pigs!). And Dakota and I are anything but lascivious. We're nerds, for crying out loud! Christian nerds, at that. Anwyay, and she still does very rude and immature thing to this day. For example, I was giving a report on AIDS, and she was sitting in the back of the room making faces as though someone had shoved a skunk up her nose. When she started distracting people, I said, 'Laura, are you all right back there? Because if you're making faces that hideous, you must be in incredible pain. Why don't you go to the nurse and let me finish my report?' Everyone laughed, thinking it was a joke (which it sort of was, in a serious sort of way). I probably should've just ignored her, but AIDS awareness is something I'm very passionate about, and when someone's keeping me from telling people about it, I tend to get a little miffed. Do any of you have an arch-nemesis? If so, how do you handle him/her?
