"Pull me back."

High As A Horse

If we give the horses blinders
They won't see the approaching ledge

Too much time and effort spent on just another bridge

We trust the local doctor
We trust the medicine
Our child gets a scratch
We give our child a brand new head
We eat what's on our plate
We drink what's in our cup
We like the shiny tv screen
It spits we lap it up

And so they push this product
And they know we'll buy it
They sing a song
We hum along
We sing
But we don't understand the words to the song

And they fill our heads
With sugar coated shit
Cause there's no need to talk
When we have medicine

There's a pill for every f***ed up thought
And a cure for every f***ed up child

When the mind starts running
Be sure it won't cross the finish line
And if it wanders
Bring it back and cage it for some time
And if it stretches
It will only one day rip
To prevent excessive thought
Just keep it up on the shelf

And when the shelves are full
And supplies are short
And quickly running out
You've got a thousand mindless zombies
And terrified horses on your hands

It was a damn good plan
It was a damn good plan

One of my favourite songs.

Great lyrics and great music. No screaming here so just go listen to the song.

This is my tribute to the year 2008, a year filled with so much but which in the end got screwed by idiots.

As usual.

"UGLY!"

Watch this music video. The music may not be to your liking but just watch the video.

Why can't more music vids be like this? The band look like they are actually having fun.

Oh and a big shout out to those who've given me Christmas cards.

In no particular order:

Chermain

Serene

Alicia

Nick

Sheryl

Isabella

Lewis

Patrina

And...

My little sister!

I don't think I've missed anyone out but if I have feel free to inform me and I'll do nothing about it.

Haha.

Played badminton with some church people at the Tampines Sports Hall then went to SAFRA Tampines to play at the Mind Cafe with my Camp Purity 08 Group-CURRY POK!

Yeah. That's it.

Shaun

"96?!" and "I love Haw Candy. No lies!"

Ashley being all,"No way man!"

Asha being all shy. (8

Went out with them today, ate at Swenson's-which by the way was a rip-off-then went to Haagen Daz(Is that how you spell it?).

Watched "Bedtime Stories".

Okay movie. There's this hot girl who plays a hotel owner's daughter and a cute small girl who plays Adam Sandler's niece in the movie.

That's it!

"Your face is like... The surface of the moon!"(:

Had a very quiet Christmas this year. No party no nuts.

I think it's cause of the financial crisis hitting everybody's wallets hard AND the fact adults aren't so different from teenagers after all.

Fact is, when it comes to crunch time, you'll see the true sides of people.

It's a fact of life. Corner someone from all angles and the person will react, showing off his/her/its true form.

Random fact 21586: If nobody is willing to compromise, there's no way to organise any events.

Well anyway, supposed to jam soon but I don't know when.

On a brighter note, I'm meeting Ashley and Asha tomorrow, my dear friends who migrated to Canada.

Something good at least.

Shaun.

I really ____ the____ named ______.

3 Kingdoms!

Church camp was awesome man!

Got an electric guitar!

Merry Christmas!

'Nuff said!

"You should have just listened to your friends, you would've been over this by now."

Benedict has left us!

No he's not dead, just gone to Australia to pursue his studies and meet hot chicks who are taller than him (:

And so he's left us and Anything Goes has lost not only a drummer but a friend too. ):

But instead of being melodramatic, lets looks on the bright side of things...

Erm. He won't have internet access for 3 weeks? Haha.

Nothing good about him leaving, sadly.




Sent him off at the airport super early today, I reached T3 at like 7 45 am.

Some no shows by the some NP people but a decent number turned up. Plus there were people from our class too! It was like we were sending him off to space rather than Australia. Some people must've thought he was some Taiwanese Pop star or something.

Watched Yes Man.

It was quite funny la but Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel had no on-screen chemistry whatsoever. She looked uncomfortable alongside Jim Carrey's over acting.

I still like Jim Carrey's movies though. And I think Zooey Deschanel is hot haha.

Went home then Sherwin asked if I wanted to play soccer at Simpang Bedok.

Sure, why not? The Prince of Persia can wait.

Played, got owned and saw the Nigerian soccer player from MJC. You know, from the pamphlet?

He uses speed and his shots damn scary powerful.

That's it.

Shaun

"Some say,"

Went to Penin, Davis Guitars to buy an acoustic pick-up and a new capo.

Total cost:$87.

Who says happiness can't be bought?

Went jamming with Anything Goes at Aljunied. Minus Joan of course, who claimed she had a 'date'. Much speculation by the rest of the band haha.

Last time jamming with our beloved drummer Benedict, who is leaving the band as of tomorrow.

He is going to Australia to further hone and harness the full might of his drumming AND guitaring abilities.

Yep.

I'll upload pics another time. Blogger is being a square lobang right now.

"Repent yourself away!"

Watched Bolt today.

Animation and graphics were great. I didn't even know John Travolta was the voice of Bolt 'til the credits rolled. He's got such a youthful voice.

Miley Cyrus's voice is different though. Super raspy and recognisable, which is not positive at all.

She sounds like she's been drinking and smoking for years. I've a hate/hate concept of her.

Nevermind. Everyone makes mistakes right?

She was good, got quite abit of emotion in her... Well... Emotional lines.

Bolt was super cute. Really like a real-life dog!

The story was predictable and a little boring. Let me plot it out.

1. Starts movie with an introduction, then a sudden fast-forward.

2. Big bang intro to the movie.

3. Shows emotional sides of characters.

4. Bolt gets separated from his owner, proceeds to try and 'save' her.

5. Makes 2 friends during his journey to return to his 'person'.

6. Embarks on an adventure-filled journey of learning and self-discovery.

7. Breaks his friends' hearts.

8. Returns to find his 'person' has 'replaced' him with another dog.

9. Friends follow him to his home and helps him see that his owner still loves him.

10. Bolt saves his 'person' from a horrible death.

11. All escape alive, asshole agent gets fired, Bolt's 2 friends are adopted to his family.

12. The end and the colourful cartoony credits begin.

If only more film maker's ventured away from these templates and grew a pair, animated films would be so much better.

Watched Wanted on DVD.

Stupid action flick with bendy bullets, gore and cursing. And the shittiest, most cliched boss battle and ending.

Imagine, the last line of the film is,"So what the f*** have you done lately?"

Great stunts and lots of explodey action sequels are fun but ultimately leave you feeling stupid for wasting your time on such a shitty movie.

"Give me a guitar and I'll show you how to rock!"

Yes 2 posts in the space of an afternoon but this concerns me getting an electric guitar.

Fracking awesome. I want this...


It's an Epiphone G-400 is the cheaper alternative to the guitar I'm gonna buy when I'm much better at guitar, the

Gibson SG Special Cherry

But because of cost and the lack of any skill whatsoever to warrant such an expensive buy, I'll most likely get

Gibson Les Paul Melody Maker.

If, I am at all getting a Gibson. If not Gibson, then Epiphone.

If not Epiphone then a really low end Ibanez. If not Ibanez then, I hate to say it...

A Fender. God.

I hate the fracking design of Fenders.

Fugly beyond this end of... Another Fender.

No disrespect to anybody who owns a Fender product-or should I say afterthought-but I can't stand the design. Maybe you're thinking I should at least play the Guitar to Steve Ouimette's level before commenting, but honestly.

If not a Fender then... Well.

Maybe... Er...

Forget it. I'll be aiming for an entry level Gibson or Epiphone.

Shaun

I WATCHED TWILIGHT!

Okay. So it wasn't that fantastic.

Acting was good, which saved the movie from being a shitload of shit.

The story is very rushed, especially when you compare it to the book.

There are some funny moments too, especially with Bella's father and Bella's and Edward's initial awkwardness.

The fighting scenes sucked cause they were so quick and lame.

The speed effects made Edward look like he was running in water fast forwarded.

Only the acting and LOL moments made it decent.

2.5/5

!siht esreveR

GAH. I uploaded all of the pics from the NP BBQ...

Then my com restarted.

I'll upload next time. Bloody frustrating.

YES AR. Found the draft. Damn overdue.

Message to Mr. "They are a bad influence."

Hokay. So asshole. Why didn't you give us a farewell? You think we're a bad influence on the Sec 3s eh?

What did we do to you? You come barging into our CCA like that in our last year with the squad and treat us like we've been shitting on your face for 4 years.

You asswipe.

Heard that you've talked nicely to my squadmates in front of them but screwed them over behind their backs. I never did try to talk to you.

Why? Because you're an insignificant asshole.

You dress like you ran out of proper clothes and think you're all high and mighty.

You think just because you're older than us and have gone through NS you can judge us? You bloody piece of cow shit.

Can't even give us a shitting farewell? We aren't that bad. You don't even know us and you make these kinds of decisions? You f***ing asshole.

You're so screwed up your asshole is square.

Back from Honk Gong.

Yes I am back and still alive. Tired but alive.

The trip was like major fun. Alot of walking talking and eating.

Oh. And shopping also.

I bought slippers, belts, tees, a watch and a bag. I think that's it.

Went to Zhu Hai, Macau and Hong Kong.

The hotel we stayed at in Zhu Hai, was Metropark Hotel. The hotel was decent but the location isn't. It's like located right next to the red light district.

My family and my friend's family were lugging our luggage along the road to the hotel when this lady bumped into me and asked,"Ni yao qu ma?"

I nearly died. Bloody shit. A hooker come and ask me this kind of shit when I'm still with my luggage.

My friend was asked by a pimp whether he wanted a girl later that night. His Dad also kena ask. Damn funny.

Macau was fun but forgettable cause I like had serious diarrhea. Like peeing outta my ass.

Hong Kong was shopping, walking, eating and chatting. Super fun!

I'll upload pics if/when I feel like it. (:
