Guess who's back

Back again.
Whatever.

Anyway...
Eminem's new album is just a tiny bit of the tons of great new music.
My memory hasn't improved (thankfully not deproved either)
So I can't really remember what I've already posted here.
But for the heck of it, I'll repeat XD

Dead By Sunrise is a side project by Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park.
Us Originals have been listening to LP since like P1... so this should be good news.
Is it?
They released their first album, Out of Ashes, quite recently.
For those of you who enjoyed Minutes To Midnight, this album is somewhat similar. There is quite a large volume of softer songs, with hardly any screaming. This does not seem normal, but remember, this is a separate band. Mike Shinoda's rap/vocals and Joe Hahn's turntables are noticably absent. However, the overall sound is still good, with the guitarists playing a few solos. Chester does damn well with the softer vocals. His voice is reminiscent of "My December" and "The Little Things Give You Away". Songs include "Give Me Your Name", "Walking In Circles" and "Let Down".
And don't worry. There still is some rock. "Crawl Back In" is just awesome. "The Morning After" is not bad either. Besides the solos, effects are also widely used in many of the songs. Overall , the album is ok. Some good, some average. Not many that I dislike. And it's definitely a change from nu metal/rapcore.

I think I've mentioned Rise Against and their album Appeal To Reason.
"Re-education Through Labor", "Collapse(Post-Amerika)" and "Hero Of War"
Their older stuff is ok too. "Prayer of the Refugee"

Movie soundtracks (not the score) suck quite often. But two of 'em stand out. Transformers 2 has one of the best collections of songs I've ever heard. Then again, the bands that feature are well known. I've heard of nearly all. That's a first. Most have unknown indie bands and other underground stuff. Even the bands I don't know have great songs too. Just look at the tracklist.

New Divide - Linkin Park
21 Guns - Green Day
I Don't Think I Love You - Hoobastank
Real World - The All-American Rejects
Almost Easy - Avenged Sevenfold
This Is It - Staind
Not Meant To Be - Theory Of A Deadman
Burn It To The Ground - Nickelback.
Capital M-E - Taking Back Sunday

I don't know about you, but I'm a fan of all the above bands.
And they all appeared in the soundtrack.

I have never heard of Cavo, but their song "Let It Go" is great as well.
So this soundtrack is freakin ownage.

The other one is the soundtrack of Jennifer's Body.
The show was quite good, a retarded mix of horror and comedy.
Wasn't really scary at all except for a couple of scenes.
Coming from me, someone who doesn't really watch horror... That says a lot. But I digress. The soundtrack is ok, but a few songs are worth listening to. "Through The Trees" by Low Shoulder. Low Shoulder is a fictional band. That being said, the song, which appears in the movie quite often, is great. Others include "Toxic Valentine", "New Perspective" and "Chew Me Up and Spit Me Out".

Oh, and Breaking Benjamin released a new album too, Dear Agony.
It's great. All the songs are average and above. The sound differs a bit from the previous albums. Vocals are softer but more versatile. You'll have to listen to understand. Background orchestra in some songs - a nice touch with the guitars.
The lyrics are pretty similar though. Most of the songs sound similar too. But they're good enough to ignore that. No recommendations, just go listen to everything and decide.


And now for misc songs.

Chillin' - Wale Ft. Lady Gaga
Contagious - Trapt
Whem You Were Young - The Killers
Another Heart Calls - The All-American Rejects
Lifeline - Papa Roach
Brain Stew - Green Day
Land Of Confusion - Disturbed
Six Feet From The Edge - Creed
Cemeteries Of London - Coldplay
Run It - Chris Brown
Warriors Of Time - Black Tide
Going Through Changes - Army Of Me

I'm not including hit singles or radio tracks, this list could go on forever.
Just that these aren't really well known but they are worth listening to.



I'm done with music, let's move on to....games.
This is probably one of the best years for games.
Good games are raining from the sky.
Halo 3 ODST is a must. It's definitely worth the buy. First up, the campaign is great, easy at first but a nightmare on Legendary. Don't forget, you're just a Helljumper now. Not the Master Chief. Firefight is also very challenging, its just like the Horde on Gears of War 2. And finally, the second CD comes with ALL the Halo 3 Maps. Heroic, Legendary, Mythic. Everything.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Epic.
The campaign is short. But it's...epic.
If you recall the ending to Modern Warfare 1, the ending is spectacular.
It's good enough to make into a movie XD
More diverse locations, tons of new weapons, better AI (lol)
And multiplayer? It's Modern Warfare 1 on steroids.

Brutal Legend. I don't know much about it. It's a bit like an RPG.
But the main character is voiced by(and resembles)...Jack Black.
And he carries an axe in one hand and an electric guitar in the other.
Sounds like Tenacious D eh?
I'm sure there are plenty of Beezelbosses running around.

Also, Assassin's Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Yeah, the last one sounds cheesy but sources tell me its great.


Finally.
There has been talk of a massive reunion, for the SSV/SSTDI and SSU classes.
It's supposed to be held between December and Chinese New Year (wtf)
Apart from that, I know...Nothing =D
but think of the possibilities.
yeah, we get to see each other again.
some people will be meeting up for the first time in years.
(PS: This will be the first time Cindy, JJ and Fabian meet up since P2.
All Originals should be able to remember the events of that yeat.
This should be interesting, to say the least ;p)

[J0HnA55]

AND THE FUCKIN EXAMS ARE OVER

YEAH, YOU HEARD ME BIATCH.
THE FUCKIN EXAMS ARE OVER.
SO STFU AND READ THIS POST.

what's with the swearing, man?
I just had to. It's a great way to release stress.
And...I just discovered....

THE LONELY ISLAND

it's really awesome. you guys gotta check it out.
They're a "comedy rap/rock" group that released a whole album, "INCREDIBAD".
They've got quite a few funny videos on YouTube with LOADS of views.
They swear a lot, kinda like Tenacious D.
That's good enough for me XD probably for you all too. Since we're all here...
I roflmao'ed for ages when I saw a few of them
With titles like:

I'm On A Boat
Like A Boss
Jizz In My Pants

you get the idea.
i'm on a boat is about...them on a boat. seriously. but it's stupidly funny.
jizz in my pants was hilarious. and the singing at the end is not bad.
and like a boss? go find out yourself XD
plus, they have some pretty famous people collaborating on the album...
Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, Jack Black, Natalie Portman, Nora Jones (WTF, I know)
Natalie Portman featured in a song about herself, Natalie's Rap.
She acted in films like Star Wars, V For Vendetta and Mr Magorium's (WTF too)
She is also a Harvard graduate in psychology.
You should listen to the song. It's...well, I don't know what to say.
Let me put it this way - I'd give her a Platinum with Honors membership here.
Jack Black's "Sax Man" is pretty damn funny too. in a sarcastic way.
you gotta listen carefully to get it though. I didn't at first.
So go and search for it. It owns.

wait...since there are so many lazy asses around here...
here are the video links =D

I'm On A Boat - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QwM4vXex7c&feature=related

ah...it's great to be back.
Exams were a drag...the "O" Levels really killed me.
It took like a couple of days for me to get back into retard mode.
All I can do is wait for the results...
Good luck (not that you need it anymore) to all of you waiting for PMR/SPM results
and me too XD just had to say it.

oh, before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOAP LORD!!!
That's right, I'ma bit late but it was on the 21st of November (i think ><)
Hope the lather doesn't clog up the sewers at Mount Austin =p
I think the jackass changed his handphone number...
Can't seem to get him at all. Anyone know? Spam the chatbox (not too much)

How about some music?
Tons of great songs, but for all those rap fans, Eminem's new album is a blast.
Seriously. Although the lyrics are kinda fucked up, he gets better and better.
Although he kinda acts the mad Slim Shady serial killer most of the time, there are still some songs like "Beautiful" which are pretty good.

I'm kinda busy -_-''
New post coming tomorrow I think.
Heck, every day.
Holidays rock.

[J0HnA55]

Woots

its the middle of the "O" Levels right now...
up to my head in stress ><
but I happened to remember the blog and noticed it was rotting away
so I came back for a quick post XD

after the exams is gonna be a blast
for one, the band is gonna go full speed now... prepare for FOA next year =D
and have loads of fun too on the way, I wanna do 2 cover albums
One for acoustic songs, the other for the rest...
I was supposed to participate in my school senior's night, a graduation kinda thing
it's a long story, but the whole plan got fucked up bad in the end
they changed the damn song twice..
then changed it again a few hours before the performance.
in the end I wasn't able to play (3 guitarists for No Boundaries? wtf)
Martin (the solo "guest") was forced to play as well
y'all know how he hates mainstream music... sigh
and the sound was so screwed no one could hear his guitar, or the bass...
even the drums were faint. THE DRUMS!! HOW CAN DRUMS BE FAINT?!!? Well, they were.
the good thing, I got to experience a full band rehearsal for the first time...
Yes, FULL BAND. When we jackasses do it, someone doesn't show up....
Or we waste the time doing random shit (which is fun anyway but what the heck)
so this time we actually played two songs, 21 Guns (Green Day) and New Divide (LP)
It was awesome. We pulled it off nearly flawlessly.
I tried to get the vid from the vocalist... 104 MB on phone cam... WTF?
so getting it is near impossible with bluetooth.. posting it here is ridiculous
but who gives a shit. lost a recording? make a new one! (not all the time though)

oh btw I got Far Cry 2 for 360, it's loads of fun.
After exams is perfect for entertainment....
Look at the movies - 2012, Jennifer's Body, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs
(yeah i know, the last one is just retarded. but so are you, I assume. So am I =D)
and the games - Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Halo ODST... those two are good enough
with Bioshock 2, Left For Dead 2 on the horizon... wow.

finally, there's talk of a MASSIVE REUNION.
this applies to all those of you from P1 and P2 of SSV/SSTDI
or P3 and P4 of SSU (the rest of you, skip this shit. it's a class kinda thing)
the two Jon's (JJ and JC) are making plans on Facebook already.
They wanted to have it at JJ's house, but it looks uncertain.
Wait. 40+ screamin ppl? I don't think so. We need your help to think of a venue
If not a house then where?
Some hall? Restaurant? Mall? Park? Cinema? Street? Toilet?
or some mass outing or shit. not like there's many place to go to around here...
maybe Singapore? lol...freakin expensive eh
still, its gonna be loads of fun
lets see if Fab and JJ fight over Cindy again XD XD XD that would be epic

I kinda miss you guys...
sometimes I wonder whether it was worth it going to study in Singapore.
can't wait until the exams are over...

[J0HnA55]

Day Of Infamy...

...is today.
Really.

28th of August 2009.

It will be remembered for all time.
Why?

New member. Ben - Cao Ah Gua (silver)
he's worse than Bugs AND J added together x5...
and that's a lot. trust me.

but before that...

Promotions!! (about time)

I have made a new rank for myself (I Own This Shit)
Sorry. Just had to do it. XD
And we have a new Platinum with Dishonor....

DUMBORTZ!!!!

cheer the jackass. now.
He drove his dad's car out at midnight.
To....Rob a bank? Smuggle guns? Kidnap Bugs for spamming?

...

Nah. To send his friend home.
But...WHO GIVES A SHIT
HE DROVE HIS DAD'S CAR OUT AT MIDNIGHT
HE DESERVES A FUCKIN' MEDAL FOR STUPIDITY XD
and he got caught. that's also why he deserves the promotion.

So reutz...
Why dishonor?
You drove your friend home...
Illegally...Without permission...At night.
AND YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A RIDE!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAH

joking.
but a video of that would be cool.
so what's next?
Reutz, why don't you drive us all to JP this year =D
that would be ownage. And we can blast music freakin loud. He won't mind =p

Ichabot also drives the car. A lot.
But he's allowed to.
Big difference, huh?
And he's already Dishonor. oh well...


ok. back to the story.
This is a minute by minute account of the incident.

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

//Location//
Mrs Tey's House, Jalan Kuning Muda 5, Taman Pelangi. (and 5 mins from fab's house)
//Occasion//
Tuition. Every Saturday.

Zero Hour
00:00
Ben goes to toilet. Nothing seems amiss.
00:02
Weird smell detected by JA. No other signs yet.
00:03
People near the toilet door start holding their noses.
00:04
Whole class is holding their noses. Confusion reigns as they search for the source.
00:05
Source of smell identified. Shouting match ensues between JA and Ben (muffled)
Laughter. Loud laughter.
00:06
MoneySeeker takes air freshener and sprays around the class. Temporary relief.
Laughter gets worse. (Laughing gas?)
00:07
Perfume dissipates. Stench gets worse. Moneyseeker sprays again.
Laughter quietens down (It's not funny anymore, seriously)
00:08
JA takes the air freshener and sprays it at the door edges. Smell now horrifying.
Even the little kid is pinching his nose.
00:09
MoneySeeker evacuates the room. Work has completely stopped by now.
00:10
JA leaves the room and opens the front door for fresh air. The dog starts to bark.
Normal phenomenon. Animals often display unusual behaviour during natural disasters.
00:11
People in living room can detect traces of the odor. More people leave the room.
This includes the little kid and the teacher.
00:12
The room has been evacuated. Students sitting around living room like refugees.
Ben is still talking loudly, unaware that everyone has left. Dog barking now frantic.
00:13
JA opens the kitchen door(connected to toilet)...
And slams it shut. The smell has now reached the solid, tangible stage.
(it has the force to push people back)
00:14
MoneySeeker sprays the room doors with perfume. Actually kinda stupid.
The chemical smell starts to make people cough (but at least it masks the odor)
00:15
Smell finally diffuses to the point of insignificance.
Emergency is declared over. People can now return to their daily lives.


The bottom line?
Do not go near the toilet when Ben has a bad stomachache. For your own good.
Ben gets to Silver as a start, for this gas attack that beats Halodude or Soap FLAT.
Plus he has shown some signs of telepathy too.

But he has a great rivalry with MoneySeeker. Can't blame him.
However, I am Supreme Leader, am I not? I cannot take sides amongst my subjects.
Oh well. Shit happens.

[J0HnA55]

Ode To A Toilet?

well...sounds interesting enough huh?


...hey. I was bored.

so anyway.
You know when you're on MSN, Facebook or maybe even on the phone.
And the other guy has to go do something else.
Quite often, its the toilet.

Toilet.

Had a lot of experience with that, especially our venerable ex-leader Halodude.
So I made this on the spur of the moment.
(As with most of the other shit I come up with, duh)

This be dedicated to J0N0. He was in the toilet.
I waited.
I was inspired.

(to be sung to Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day)

Nine o' clock has come and passed
My laptop batt will never last
Wake me up when toilet break ends
Like your motion come to pass
Half an hour ain't that fast
Wake me up when toilet break ends
Here comes the shit again
Falling from your arse
My brain starts to melt again
As future becomes past
As my fingers rest
Cuz I was spamming all my best
Wake me up when toilet break ends

(to be continued)

and J0N0 has some shit to share with us

J0N: how is [US] going?

ME: Is the sky blue?

J0N:

I don't know, you tell me.
It may be blue one day,
Or turquoise another.
So it actually depends on where you come from.
If you're from Africa
It's obviously gonna be darker
But if you're Asian
More specifically Chinese or Korean or something like that
Then it's all going to be bluish blurry
Cuz their eyes can't open big enough
To see the true beauty of the sky

Wow.
Bluish blurry.
What the hell is that?
We got a Shakespeare.
Invents his own words.

[JA]

28 Days Later

Yeah, you know the movie.
But I'm talking about a real life event...that's so retarded we could make a movie on it too.
Or a novel for that matter.

28 Days Later
-------------
Starring: J0HnA55 (me XD)
Featuring: MoneySeeker
Bugs
Ben (cao ah gua)
extra people

Synopsis
--------
MS has been boasting so much that people say he has no ass, the shit comes out of his mouth.
J0HnA55 attempts to restore his reputation by challenging him to tell the truth and prove it.
MS then bets JA that his phone will be credited RM100 as he has a rich friend who can do shit for free.
JA accepts and says that if he fails, he will owe him the money.
MS accepts the bet! o_O even I wasn't expecting that.

Eventually, JA receives RM 20. I wasn't expecting that either.
Ben complains but JA says what the heck, RM20 is good enough. No need to be such a dick la...
MoneySeeker is on a roll.
He promises JA an iPod. A. Free. iPod.

And thus the saga begins....

Day 1 (Sat): MS calls and says that his richass friend has sent the iPod down from KL.
He meets JA at tuition but says he didn't bring it.
Day 2: JA calls and asks if he can pick it up from MS's house.
He says, "No, I'm busy. Some other time". JA wonders but says ok, next week.

Note: JA stays in Singapore on weekdays for school.

Day 8: JA has flu. Possible H1N1. Doesn't go to tuition.
According to statistics, (of which the reliability I'm not sure)
50% of flu cases in Singapore at a certain time were H1N1.
And my class had 26 cases of flu in 1 week. Let's not talk about the rest of the school.
By the way, at least two people were tested positive though.

Day 9: Tuition is cancelled. JA mutters.
MS declares he likes the iPod and will keep it. A new iPod touch will arrive next week.
That makes two iPods in 2 weeks. Wow. What a richass friend. I'm speechless...err...not.

Day 15: MS doesn't bring it again. JA asks why.
Explanation is very long and detailed, but here's the gist of it.
- MS's parents are unaware of the iPod
- JA cannot collect it as MS's father will be pissed that he goes just to collect a gift (kinda understandable)
- MS cannot bring it just in case his parents see it in his bag (lol?)
He says he has a friend he passed them to, who will drive to the tuition venue and hand them over.
A friend that can drive? How old, I asked? 19, MS says.
For a 19 year old, he sure has a lot of free time..

Not. He doesn't turn up. If he did, JA would have eaten an eraser out of astonishment. (I really thought of it)
MS then declares that he doesn't want the iPod and will give both to JA. He swears JA will get them by the next day.
JA decides to give one to Bugs. (He don't have no iPod either)

Day 16: MS says he will meet JA at Hop Music Studio. He doesn't show up.
MS says he will give it to his "girl" in Woodlands.
He claims he has 21 girlfriends. JA says, bullshit.
So he says he will tell them to sms him that night.
JA's phone remains silent.

BTW. I made a song outta this. (Sung to 21 Guns - Green Day)

One, Twenty One LAN
Ka na sai
Go and die
One, Twenty One LAN
Chao Chee Bye
Girl, my EYE
Don't lie

Poetic, ain't it?
At this point, Ben and the extra people have given up.
I say, give him 28 days. You know I like fancy shit =p
It certainly helps with the posts.

And he says that his friend sent me an acoustic guitar from KL.
Will wonders ever cease?
Next he'll be sending me a car, from the looks of it.

Day 17: After school, JA calls MS.
He says that his girlfriend cannot meet JA that day.
JA is just curious how the meeting will take place.

1)MS gave her my handphone number. He won't give me her number. Why?
"No hanky panky"
You know a spastic dude called Kian Heng? Sound familiar to some of you?
Exact same words. Co-incidence?

Side note, I suan him like siao.

JA:Why don't you give me her number?
MS: No! Later you got hanky panky with her sia...
JA: No way la...she is your girlfriend. She so little taste, why I want?
MS: YOUR ASS LA. SHE IS DAMN CHIO. HER BOOBS 32D LEH!!!!
JA: Wahlao, so small sia. Aiyoyo...
MS: FUCK LA!!! I tell you, you see already, you sure want. She only 14 leh
JA: OMG!!! PEDO!!! PEDO!!!! AAAAAAH
MS: *rage*

2) He gave her my photo. HOW THE-
MS: I took from your facebook.

Ah, that explains matters. I think.
(Hardly. go see my facebook pics for yourself, they won't help much)

3) I asked him, is she really so free?
He says that she was expelled from Fuchun Sec for a ton of offences.

4)Is she really willing to be a...courier?
He says, ya, she will do anything for me.
Wow. I am so "touched"


Day 18: After school, JA goes home. At 4pm, he gets an sms.
MS: Bro urgent call me asap
So he calls MS.

MS: EH, WHERE ARE YOU SIA?
JA: err...home.
MS: MY GIRL WAIT FOR YOU 3 HOURS ALREADY LEH
JA: WHAT THE FUCK?

-silence-

JA:...wait. why the hell didn't you tell me?
MS: my phone no money. I just top up

(woah. so convenient. I bet he waited for the occasion)

JA: Then why didn't she call me?
MS: er.. I told her not to.
JA: why???
MS: I afraid that later you angry
JA:.....
MS: and then you also maybe hanky panky.

-silence-

Day 19: She wasn't free again. Then again, are imaginary people free? I guess not.

Day 20: MS tells me that she will come to Clementi and pass it to me.
At 4pm, I ask, "Where is she?"
He says, oh, she just left Vivo City.
Hmm... If I recall, that will take an hour at the most.

At 6pm, he says, oh, she has reached Clementi. I get ready to go down to meet her.
At 6.10, I have second thoughts and get un-ready. You know what I mean.

At 8pm, I call him.

JA: Hey dude, is your girlfriend injured?
MS: No
JA: Disabled?
MS: No
JA: Stupid?
MS:...No
JA: Then she must be lost. She's taking two hours for a five minute walk.

He declares that she has just gone home.
He says that she had no credit for her phone.
He never thought of calling her until I called him.

Persevere, dear readers. Put up with the utter stupidity until the end of the post.

Day 21: Eh dude, meet my girl at Woodlands ok? 4.30pm.
Not much of a problem, as I leave for JB around that time.
He calls at 4.35 and says that she has just left Vivo City.
I sigh and get on the bus.
He keeps cursing, saying that his girlfriend is useless.

If she is indeed real, then he is a real dick.
She's doing him a freakin' favor.. she has no obligation to run around for him.
But I suppose imaginary people don't really mind.

Day 22(The Final Showdown)
It's Saturday again.
Apparently, she's coming to JB.
During tuition, he announces that she is at KingSurf. (A LAN centre for those of you who don't know)
We can't leave until 5.30. Then it turns out my parents are picking me up.
And then they announce that we are having dinner at Rawa (some place)
It is a two minute walk from KingSurf.

So I call and tell him to get her to go downstairs.
He says that his phone has no money.
I tell him to give me her number.
He says....
"No. Later You Hanky Panky with Her."

At that point, I decided on a course of action.
MS will feel the wrath of A55 if he doesn't get the iPods by the deadline.
Alternatively, MS can admit that he is lying and the bet will be called off and forgotten. Permanently.

"It's real, I swear! You don't believe me?"

However, I continue on happily, as this adventure will provide entertainment for generations to come...

Day 23: I tell MS to send it to Ben's house cuz I was there.
You get the idea.

Day 28: Wow, it's Friday. But the post is 28 days LATER. So see tomorrow.

Day 29 (D-Day): It's here.
And he doesn't bring it.
For the same reasons as before.
I have no need to elaborate further.
He claims to have hidden it under the mat in his car.
Why? I dunno.
But I got picked up before him.
I gave him two more days - a month, for kicks.

Day 30: He doesn't send it to Ben's house again.

Day 31: Not much hope, is there?

Day 32: Today. The day I am writing this. Tuesday. 18/8/09.
Well?
MoneySeeker has refused to back down. He claims the iPods are still real.
As of now, he is exiled until:

1) He produces the iPods, or a warranty card showing that he got a Nokia phone for free from the rich guy

2) He admits he is lying. Simple as that.

To Be Continued...



Some of you studying in Singapore may be taking Literature.
This shit certainly is an example.
Weird topic though.
The song is nice. There was a cool music video on YouTube using the movie Braveheart.
But they removed it. Stupid copyright issues.
They spoil the point of YouTube.


The song “Strength of the World” by Avenged Sevenfold explores the concepts of cause and effect; this single song also possesses a double consequence. The protagonist loses everything that is close to his heart; with the strength of the world behind him, he stands to God and says, “I stand before you, I’ll sin when I have to”. He challenges those who have “taken [his] whole life” but in the end finds himself still alone and now a sinner, a “killer falling from the light”. In his moments of strength, he comes to make himself suffer the greatest punishment.
The song has a long and gentle acoustic introduction; I see this as the cool calm before the storm, a routine life with nothing special to worry about. A minute into the song, the acoustic guitar is accompanied by an electric guitar; we have rising action, drums join in and those drums slowly scale in strength, with the beat accelerating in the crescendo. We hit the first of a double climax as various instruments begin their parts, “my story starts the day they said ‘she can’t be found’”, the drums are on full roll and the lyrics begin to play out. It is interesting to note how poetic the song is; there is a very strong use of alliteration, which enters clear onomatopoeia in the first stanza. The constant repeated “s” sound brings into play the seething anger; the hissing sound may be a representation of the snake-tongued devil that claimed the lives of this man’s family. This part is all about making these outlaws look bad; the music is a rock/metal version or interpretation of the screeching music before a murder scene in classical movies.
The second part (third stanza) shows his developing insanity. The rhythm seems to break here and sharp sounds of “t” (teeth) and “k” (kill) predominate. When before it would seem he had grounds to his rage, his new temper is hellish and out of bounds (“I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth”). He alludes to a dog, craving his meal, craving to tear and devour it; he dehumanizes himself to reveal the insanity. He mixes the senses to make the scene extremely perverse (“taste my breath I’m close behind”), calling for them to taste a smell, the smell of someone else’s breath. In the bloodlust, it is instinctively a putrid smell that comes into mind. I always see bloodthirsty eyes connected to this putrid, metallic, and bloody breath smell.
Although the refrain is repeated in between each “part”, I thought it was most significant in between the second and third parts (the fourth stanza). The refrain seems more relaxed and in this placement it transitions absolute insanity to cool determination. The third part (fifth stanza) depicts the “warrior” praying at the tombs of his dead family, reminding himself of his cause in a scene that parallels epic prose. Here we know that he will succeed in getting the outlaws, but is this the best path? Is the death of the outlaws the final consequence? He talks to God, stands up and says that he will sin if he has to, implying that not even God will stand between him and his revenge. I also noticed that he could not “turn his cheek”, meaning that maybe he doubts his actions and in a way sees that the sin of murder will make him just as bad as the outlaws. This reaction is only momentary and he says, “but now I leave your side, to avenge my family’s pride”. This is him talking to God; we know he will kill the outlaws. The next significant part is in the solo, a flurry of electric guitar moving from slow pacing to accelerating urgency. I saw the battle scene here, him catching up to the murderers. At the end, everything goes still and the music is cold; there is no sentiment of joy or success. He realizes that his family is “so far forever” and that even though he kills the killers, he is still alone. “A greater punishment on me has been imposed”, he is left with nothing. The thirst for blood has left him (ambition, a goal), his family is still dead (safety, love), and he believes he has fallen out of God’s favor as “a killer falling from the light” (afterlife, a belief to cling to). He finishes struck by this double consequence by silently admitting “I miss my family, I’ll never be alright” and the music fades away…

ROFL

Telepathy? Retarlepathy! or maybe Twitpathy XD

been leaning towards the acoustic side nowadays.

No Boundaries - Adam Lambert/Kris Allen
Unforgiven - Metallica
Your Guardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Everchanging (Acoustic) - Rise Against
21 Guns - Green Day

there's just something nice about it.


and then again, I'm now starting on a "guitar" music trend.
dudes like...

John Petrucci
Steve Vai
Paul Gilbert (Mr Big)
Yngwe Malmsteen (did I spell that right? lol)

and so on. the whole song is like one long solo. Niiice.


went out to watch Transformers 2 a while ago.
At first, I was like, meh.
Then the motorcycle scene. I gave the film 10/10.
Then..the museum. When the army guy went to change.
The rating dropped straight down to 7/10. Damn, that was horrible.
Heh.


now for the main purpose of this post...

Did you know the memory span of a goldfish is 3 seconds?
I'm proud to say me and Street2fifa broke that record.
By one whole second.

See, we were at the Woodlands library (in singapore)
He leaned over and said, "Eh, you know ah..."

A librarian walked past and said, "Quiet, please". To the whole row of people.

I looked at him. "What?"
He said..."I forget liao"

..ownage. OWNAGE.
I swear, ownage.

and here's some background information.
For a while, I noticed some strange stuff happening between us Platinums.

I would think of calling Bugs, then when I reach for the phone, it rings.
Guess who? Bugs.
Someone asks me and Dumbortz a question.
We both reply at the same time. Word for word.
And it happens with a few of us too. Not just one or two.

I put it down to familiarity.
After all, great minds think alike, do they not? XD

then one day...
this dude called Ben asked me to go to the library to study.
Several days in fact, but I was only free on one.
He came a little late. 10 minutes off, in fact.
His mother dropped us off at the side.
We wondered where to have breakfast. McDonalds? KFC? some kopitiam?
we chose McDs, and even after we finished, we stoned for a while.
Then, we left and walked towards the library.

one day...
Street2fifa went to school for CCA.
The guard told him it was closed for the holidays due to swine flu.
So he was stuck with nothing to do.
So what did he decide to do? Wonder of wonders. Go to the library.
He could walk, or take a bus. Or take a bus from the opposite bus stop.
He took the bus from the opposite stop. (slightly different route, maybe faster)
He got off, walked towards the library.

and BLAM, we saw each other.
Now think about this.
If I had gone on another day, left earlier, eaten somewhere else, hadn't stoned...
If Twit had gone for CCA, gone home or took different transport...
A difference of ten seconds would be enough. We wouldn't have met at all.
There was also the time when I saw him at the dentist.
He had rescheduled his appointment.
I was late. By half an hour.

Something screwy is going on.

There's more.
I met Halodude at Msia immigration once.
I fell asleep at the flat, so I was returning later.
He had some stuff after school, so he was too.
We went to studio last Saturday.
I forgot to tell them that Yan Feng couldn't make it.
And Dumbortz brought a friend along. a DRUMMER.

Coincidence? or conspiracy?
It happens very often.
Coincidences do not normally occur often.
And if it were a conspiracy, that would be pretty stupid.
The only people with a likely reason to conspire for us to meet...
would be us, of course.
So unless all of us have memory lapses, split personalities and dementia..
(hey. don't look at me. I'm innocent)
There has to be an underlying reason for this.

Suddenly, I thought of it.

Telepathy??

Could we have developed some psychic connection between our minds?
That makes us do stuff subconciously? Without us realizing the purpose?
So I got kinda excited for a while.

Then today, I called Bugs.

JA: Hey man.
Bugs: Hey. So, confirmed. Tomorrow afternoon?
JA: Yeah. Holy shit. How did you know what I was going to ask you?
Bugs: I dunno.
JA: See, freakin telepathy. Hehe.
Bugs: Oh, Wen Long is coming. He asked what time to meet.
JA: ...Wen Long? He's coming? For what?
Bugs: Umm he said he wanted to go.
JA: But he doesn't play anything does he? Or does he want to stone at the studio?
Bugs: I'm talking about cinema. Oh wait, I forgot. You already watched Transformers.
JA:.....
Bugs: So much for telepathy.

Get the picture?

But I figured out, this should be totally normal.
If we had some measure of telepathy, it would be affected a bit. Ok, a lot.
Cuz retards + telepathy = some pretty interesting shit, eh?

Hence, I coined the term.
Retarlepathy!!! (or Twitpathy XD)


btw, a twit quote.
Teacher: You see a man at the mall. He has difficulty breathing. What do you do?
Twit: Give him...CPF!!
(central provident fund, not cardio-pulmonary resuscitation)

Like a bit of extra cash is gonna clear his airways.


Oh, and more on bands.
Check out Sevendust.
I wonder why I never heard of it earlier.
It be metal. With a black singer.

'nuff said.


To end this off, here's a quote.
This came from an interview with Marilyn Manson.
He's weird. WEIRD. Emo. Complete nuts.
But...he said,

"Why would you want to censor the word "fuck" out of a song? Really, who doesn't want "fuck"? The more fuck, the better. In life, it's metaphor -- the more fucks, the more fun. Hey, it's only a couple letters off from fun."

kinda reminds me of "History of the F Word"
That dumbass video on FunnyJunk back in primary.
nostalgic feelings. wait, that ain't right.

[J0HnA55]

new signature?

[\7\*]

ahem

...time suuuuure flies around here.
and elsewhere too.
duh.

I logged on to facebook.
and saw a message.
it said,
"happy birthday you strange creature"

and I was like, what?
whose birthday?
took me a minute to realize it was mine >.<
that proves I have the memory span of a goldfish...

but anyway it doesn't really matter...
this year I ain't having a bigass party as usual.
freakin o's are restoring yet destroying my sanity.
this I swear though,
during the end of year holidays...
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A FUCKIN' BLAST

heh.

besides, the FOA is off this year.
3 reasons.
1)o's are starting to really piss me off.
(parents la..as usual. but this is the only time where I don't feel injustice)
2)yan feng has exams in july. screwed up Omega timetable..
3)Our bassist has no bass of his own. He borrowed one.
heard that reuts is a fast learner but he can't keep the bass and amp forever...
i hope so though XD

so we're going to start a few band related side projects
one would be obviously to cover some songs...the range has increased now.
and we were thinking of making a Tenacious D cover. Music, video and all.
but that will take some time. and a lot of ingenuity.

so I guess patience is in order.
not that I have lots of it anyway.
I miss the good ol' days though.
Think I'm goin off to listen to Shadows and Regrets by Yellowcard.
one of the few songs I find really meaningful.
wish we'll have Left 4 Dead at JP and MP and AP.
wish Jackie will get a double bass pedal for his drum set.

and yes, MegaDeath, I hear you.
so stop spamming my phone and the cbox.

happy birthday to me..
happy birthday to meeee... *cough* *cough*

[J0HnA55]

and it gets closer.

AND CLOSER
THE FOA IS COMING.
ARE WE GONNA KICK THEIR FREAKIN A55ES?

maaybe.

actually, it's been postponed to July 18th. That adds 1 more month of practice.
But less time...O Levels gonna drive me mad. wait...I think I am already =D
well the band is probably still called Untold Prophecy.
can't think of anything, the name kinda stuck. any suggestions?

here's the official lineup

Bugs - Lead Vocals/Keyboard (if needed)
J0HnA55 - Guitar/Backup Vocals
Joshua - Guitar
Dumbortz - Bass
Yan Feng - Drums

Oh and The Watcher says he fell asleep while shitting once.
Sad there aren't any available promotion levels left.

and I'm STILL waiting

wait wait wait
it's been weeks since Halo wars was released...
...and I still don't have it.
ARGH
AAAAAAARGH

strange tho. I've read some negative reviews about it.
Gave it 60 something over a hundred.
someone can clarify this?


kinda bored (again), so here's an attempt at subliminal messaging;

Jokes are an extremely good way of entertaining people.
Often we find ourselves closer to those who make us laugh.
In a survey conducted by researchers, almost half of those surveyed agreed.
Not only that, laughter has also been proven to help control pain.

Unless you really are an emo person,you should tell more jokes.
So that you can understand the meaning of this message.

can you see the message in the above passage???


my electric guitar is really screwed up.
for one thing, the tuning is one key up (F,A#,D#,G#,C,F)
it can't seem to return to normal (believe it or not, F seems to be the lowest)
and the string emits a weird buzzing sound when I play it.
It's so loud the amp picks it up. And it sounds like shit.

More song suggestions: (sry for repeats)
The Day That Never Comes - Metallica
Second Hearbeat - Avenged Sevenfold
Free Falling - John Mayer
I Don't Care/Thnks Fr Th Mmrs - Fall Out Boy
Must Get Out - Maroon 5
Empty Apartment/Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard

Still waiting for that reply Dumbortz -_-"

Random Shit

FOAFOAFOAFOAFOAFOAFOA
WAH HEADACHE

had a "performance" recently
some random shit for school CIP (community involvement program)
play songs at an old folk's home
but...at the last minute they changed the song
so i sat there with my guitar away from the mic
and played RANDOM SONGS!!!!
and no one could hear what i was playing over the speakers. LOL.
seriously, WTH.

i think i'ma get started with the parodies again soon.
someone help meeee.....i'm outta ideas.
my mind's blank(er)...than usual

and now I have 4 hour tuition every saturday...omgwtf
but after that i almost nearly guaranteed can meet up with 'tards or watch movie
or shit like that. worth it? i dunno
and it doesn't apply near exam period...waaah.

and we're running out of retarded material. this is a disaster.

and here's some random emoness


The Beast Within

Sometimes you wish that someone would reach out and hold you. Tell you that everything will be OK, whisper that they love you, and say that it will all work out in the end.

Of course, they don't. They can't see that there is something wrong, or if they do, and ask, you don't know how to tell them that there isn't really anything wrong, there just isn't anything right either. You don't know how to explain that you feel numb. That you hate it. That you hate yourself.

It is hard to admit that you despise yourself, the shell you've become, the void that you are becoming. Harder to admit that the only thing that hasn't broken is your mind, and that the thin thread of sanity is only being held onto out of sheer desperation... a shaky grip at best.

So you have your Desperation, and the fragile hope that someone, somewhere, will break into the monotony of the life you are only half living, and save you from yourself. Unfortunately, You don't know how to let them in, because once they have broken through your walls of defense, they have every weapon they need to destroy you. They KNOW... and it scares you.

And so you continue... holding fast to your hope, and the dreams of a better tomorrow, slashing at your existence with the jagged blades of self-loathing. ALONE. And when the beast within you wins, you realize that deep down you have enjoyed the burning sensation in the pit of your stomach and the complete detatchment with which you view the world.

And every night before you go to bed, the child within the person you used to be battles the Terror that dwells inside the person you have become.

And every morning, you succumb to the beast within.


Lolz
random emoness
but kinda fits for a lot of people i guess
duh

i'm outta here
this place is tapped

Disclaimer

yeah. before I get to the other stuff, this is a disclaimer.

This organization/blog/whatever, United Stupidity,
In no way are we attempting to make fun of the mentally challenged.
As members of our society, they should be given the extra amount of care needed.
Many of the posts and stuff mention some people as "retards".
Let me clarify this.
Most of us here prefer to see the brighter side of life.
This often displays itself in the stuff that we do.
And a lot of the stuff that we do is aimed at making us, and other people laugh.
"Retards" is mentioned as the stuff posted are often outside normal behaviour.
Or maybe it isn't. Just that nobody mentions it, or people forget.
They lose their memories. Memories can brighten your day when things are dark.
Of course, this is our brand of humour. Not everyone appreciates it.
Some people may think that some of it is "lame", or "weird".
Or otherwise its just plain "retarded".
Whatever it is, it's your opinion. You are entitled to it. We respect that.
But if you come to troll and flame against us, let me get this straight.
We can listen to you. But we do not need to take your shit.
Feel too embarassed to participate in harmless pranks? Wuss.
Or think that you're above it? Better than us in some way?
What if we think that you're an insignificant faggot?
Got a problem if we think that you're like that?
Too bad, loser. Get a life.
If you're fine with that, no problem. Everyone here is friendly. (I think...)
Stick around, socialize, laugh, enjoy life.
Otherwise, do us a favour and get the fuck outta here.
Before I come over and cut you from hole to hole.

Yours truly,
[J0HnA55]


meh. some people are really pissin me off.

as for the rest of the update...

It looks kinda certain that we're going to join the FOA this year.
Too bad Martin can't be our guitarist. Don't think he can come to Malaysia.
But he wouldn't really like the songs we'd perform anyway.
The lineup is still very shaky, but...

Fabian - Vocals
Me - Guitar
Yan Feng - Drums
Reutens - Bass

We need another guitarist. CALLIN ALL GUITARISTS!!!
(I know JB and Singapore are SWARMING with them)

narrowed down a few song choices, but I'd appreciate some suggestions.
Beast and the Harlot - Avenged Sevenfold
Holiday/Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
I Don't Care - Fall Out Boy
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
Face Down - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Obviously, we need more feedback.


Halodude lent me his Burnout: Paradise City (hail him! HAIL HIM!)
it's pretty good. Free cruisin' in a GTA sized city.
Bad thing is the crashing. Literally. I'm a lousy driver -__-''
Oh well. Good side, I pwn road rage. haha.

Halo Wars is out. Finally.
But some reviews say it isn't really good.
Anyone can confirm this?



Man, I'm sleepy.
G'nite y'all.

Well, well, well.

Ahh. Dragged myself out of la la land to update this glorious dominion.
Being supreme dictator ain't that easy.
With great power comes great retardity...wait. that didn't come out right.

anyway...

First up, promotions! haven't done that for a while.
no new members either. should get in some fresh talent.
so first up, is Ichabot/Synyster6661/Kenny!!!
We went on a school trip of sorts to KL for a week.
Mostly we did outdoor stuff like rock climbing, rafting etc.
During abseiling, the key is to keep your legs apart.
This prevents you from spinning - and hitting the side of the cliff. ow.
and he forgot, and spun. a bit.
just a few cm away from the wall.
and.... he licked it.
yup. he licked the rock.
and he said it was salty.

much later, we were doing an obstacle course in Eagle Ranch, Port Dickson.
there was a mud pit we had to wade through.
it wasn't watery, mind you, it was THICK AND SLIMY.
and he went a bit too close.
and...well...
he said it tasted better than the rock.

Therefore, he is promoted to Platinum with Dishonor!
Platinum can be given immediately for performing feats others wouldn't want to try.
Dishonor? He didn't save some for us. LOL. HAHAHA
freaked you out eh

and next is...well, well, well.
This is the post name again, signifying the importance of this part.
A new rank has been created.
Platinum with dishonor...with dishonor.
AND IT GOES TO NONE OTHER THAN BUGS!!!!
Why? Why???!! WHY?!?!?!?1111!11

well, there you have it.

and about the Fall Out Boy Concert yesterday...
please hold a second of silence for all those who could not attend.
namely, all of us. AAAAARGGH.
It's the A7X concert all over again.
Ask tons of people to go, none can make it.
oh well.


I now listen to opera and symphonies!!!

..I'm joking. right?
yeah. kinda.
but anyway, check out Nightwish.
It's a...symphonic metal band.
basically, they play symphonies. and metal. at the same time.
not really metal. much softer, a bit of rock and instrumental too.
sounds spastic, but actually is quite good.
although they're split into two kinds...
the old albums has a singer who belongs in opera, rather than in a band.
the new album (Dark Passion Play) has a normal singer.
listen to the difference and you'll know.
besides, a lot of piano and no screaming/shouting/yelling at all from what i heard.

Old albums
-----------
Ever Dream
Deep Silent Complete
Nemo
End of all hope
Elvenpath
Moondance

Dark Passion Play
-----------------
Amaranth
Eva
Bye Bye Beautiful
The Islander

those are the ones I have anyway.
personally I prefer the latest album, the opera singing is a bit...heavy.
and still, here's some other stuff to check out.

Lost - Verax
I Don't Care - Fall Out Boy
Before I Forget - Slipknot
The Day That Never Comes - Metallica
Indestructible - Disturbed
Green Tinted Sixties Mind - Mr Big
Jesus Of Suburbia - Green Day
Pork and Beans - Weezer
Pieces - Sum 41
Rockstar - Nickelback
It's Not My Time - 3 Doors Down
Krwlng - Linkin Park (the Reanimation version)

To top off the music update, here's a list of Avenged Sevenfold songs.
The nicer ones. A lot.

A Little Piece of Heaven
Afterlife
Almost Easy
Bat Country
Beast And The Harlot
Blinded In Chains
Brompton Cocktail
Chapter Four
Critical Acclaim
Dancing Dead
Dear God
Girl I Know
Gunslinger
I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1
Lost
M.I.A
Remenissions
Scream
Second Heartbeat (Live in the LBC)
Sidewinder
To End The Rapture
Unholy Confessions
Warmness On The Soul

speaking of bands, there are two music based competitions coming up.

One, there is the Battle of the Bands.
Held in Singapore at some international school.
More details later, I don't know if entry is over or not.
But Martin got me to join...brainwashing? Subliminal messages? ESP?
I don't know. But there are 3 of us. All guitarists.
If we make it through the auditions, I'll ROFLMAOL all the way home.

With more hope, the FOA.
Held in EC in Johor Bahru.
It will be later in the year, maybe during the June holidays.
Thing is, anyone can join. Anyone.
So...calling all tards' again.
Anyone who can play in a band spam the cbox.
Bugs, Street2Fifa, Martin, me and another non-tard can play guitar.
Bugs also doesn't mind vocals, neither do I but Bugs is better. I think.
Yan Feng should do drums. He plays freaking sick.
Dumbortz as keyboard? Last I heard, he was qualified to teach piano. o_O

Oh and speaking of Dumbortz...
Any 'tard can prove the rumour that he found another..TSN
you know..Tan. Shing. Nevermind.
HaAAHAHAaaaaaaaaaHAAAAAAAAAAA
I also have been prone to laughing fits recently.
Must be the air.

[J0HnA55]

update(?)

First up, happy bday J0N0!!!
May ur a55 be pwnED..uh...ur a55 be pwning!
your one is kinda easy to remember..8th Jan eh.

Second, Rock Band is fun.
Yes, it is. But...
please be careful while drumming.
don't grip the sticks too hard.
I was whackin like mad, then i wondered...why does my finger hurt?
I looked..to see that the skin had been RUBBED off.
One big piece crumpled up.
Then the pain hit. LoL.
Not that bad, but no more drummin for a while =(
so...you get the picture.

Third, this internet connection is laggy.
I'm outta here.

[J0HnA55]

...And all things will end?

Maybe. Anywayv this year is ending. Not sure that I'm lookin forward to next...
O Levels. =(
But anyway, you gotta say that this one was not bad.
Even with stuff like PMR.
Speakin of PMR..
'grats to all who did well.
'grats to all who didn't.
If you did well, you gonna be happy I suppose.
If you didn't do well, oh well. -_- you can try to be happy.

so...to end of this year of stupidity (our 2nd)
I will finally..post all the videos and the updates.
Yeah, it'll take lots of time...but it's worth it.

what's first? hmm...

...I know...
it's what y'all been waitin for.

JP'08!!!!
yeah. it went along smoothly(?)
Xtreme Hitz wasn't ready, so I burned an A7X disc there. left it behind too =(
Lots of Halo 3 mixed with CoD 4 and a bit of some fighting game..
think it was DC VS Mortal Kombat or something like that.
we watched 4 and a half hours of South Park =D
freakin hilarious. especially Imaginationland..one and a half hours..haha
the band stuff wasn't that great, but it was still fun.
mostly everyone took turns trying out the drums and the guitar.
yan feng brought an amp so we had an electric, an acoustic and drums.
keyboard didn't work. ask J.
oh yeah, and J kept playing Stand By Me.
the worst was when he played it on my electric, LOUD. in the morning.
when some of us were sleepin.
daaamn, i hate that song now -_-
but yeah J's not bad. Yan feng's drums are OWNAGE. (well at least to [US])
we did Beast and the Harlot by a7x...up to the chorus. my guitar wasn't good enough.
but soon, maybe. yeah.
but what set this JP apart?
well, every year, since P2 i think, we had water fights/battles/wars
depending on size of house and number of people..hehe
but always, the highlights were at MP (my house) and JP.
somehow these two parties had largest number of water guns.
every year, the battles get better and better.
starting around P6, when we had street warfare at my house.
chased JJ and madridista around my neighbourhood
then in sec 1, we had "armour" at JP (boxes)
last year, we had a breakthrough. we played in the rain.
of course, it was disorderly. nobody knew what was happening.
but this year...what happened?
we played. at night.
started at 10pm, finished about 12.30 (past midnight)
it was awesome. not too dark, not too bright. J has quite a few lights in his garden.
we played something like assault in halo3 and CoD4.
simple, really. divided into two teams, 5 of us in assault, 4 in defense.
the defenders get 2 hoses and 2 guns. They defend the hoses.
the attackers get 5 guns, and they need to turn off both hoses to win.
if anyone gets shot, they have to retreat to their starting position.
a bit difficult for the attackers to win though. the game drags very long.
the hose positions were difficult too. the defenders had only 2 approach methods.
oh and although ppl tried hiding in all sorts of places...one really stood out.
let's just say...dumbortz started it. he went...fishing.

that's right. he hid in...the fish pond.
he was hiding underwater...with the hose.
we never saw him coming.
as I ran back, after getting shot, I talked to Elson (on my team):

JA: uhh..elson?
E: yeah?
JA: how long since the pond got cleaned?
E: (laughing) a year ago.
JA: ....

and I thought to myself... how much shit can fish produce in a year?

by the end, nearly everyone had gotten into the pond.
but dumbortz was the only one who went underwater.
he was the only one who itched afterwards.

then we had a power slide competition.

here are the pics and vids.
Disclaimer: this post has tons of 'em. may be laggy.
for the weird pictures of bugs, here are instructions.
1) save all three pictures on your computer
2) put them in a new folder.
3) copy bugsanimation(1).jpg
4) rename it to bugsanimation(4).jpg
5) make sure they are in order. the one without a number first, (4) the last.
6) open the first one and press the right arrow key. continously.

if you did it correctly, you get a stupid animation.
congratulations.
































































the last two are of us in the pond.
the lighting was poor for camera. so the vid is also dark.




NOTE. there seems to be a problem. i can only insert one. what. the hell.
umm, meet me if you wanna see the others =D
not my fault ok? honest.

anyway, here are some random pics.
first up, I got an a7x tattoo!!!!1!
A Deathbat (their logo) on my hand.
believe it? or not.


...not.
I did it with pen. was bored. lol.

then, a pic of my guitar.

remember the ball stuck in the arcade? (previous post)
can't remember who did it. check it out.
but this photo proves that someone else dumber is out there...

and finally, here's one of Diablo 2. It's a RPG on PC.
if you played it before, this photo will be pretty surprising.
look carefully.....

btw, it's a level 99 necromancer with 40 skeletons.
I hacked, ok?


































































for the rest of the vids, i'm trying to put it in a zip file.
then i'll make it available for download somewhere, k?

so anyway, it's been a good year, overall.
granted, many of the things that were supposed to happen went wrong.
but we should be grateful that so many others went right.
from bein' jackasses at Giant to playing Daytona at the arcade
from retarded school videos to goin to the studio
from frying my router (not literally) to disturbing students at my centre
from capturing the fag in halodude's pool to the mass KS breakout on Bugs' bday
from power slides to burnt pizza
from MP'08 to JP'08 and all the other parties
from Malaysia to Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

it's been one retarded year. thanks for the memories.

Happy New Year.


[J0HnA55]

...

.....omg
we made it.
JP is gonna be on the 19th and 20th.
everyone can make it!!! (well..nearly everyone. I'm still persuading)
the freakin' relief...I can't describe it (sounds stupid, I know)
but I tend to get retarded at this kinda stuff.
well..all kinds of stuff.

I'M OFF TO CELEBRATE!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[J0HnA55]

*sigh*

things aren't the way they used to be.
seriously...remember that song by Yellowcard? Shadows and Regrets?
I made a post about something like that further down anyway.. see it if you want.

well if you think about it, things have changed a lot since back then.
most obvious, we don't have enough time. we're all busy with schedules and stuff.
so arranging stuff...lke, a party, is more difficult. (know what I'm gettin at?)
k. enough already. bad news. JP is going to shit.

...why am I not surprised?

here's the situation:

JP takes place on the 18th and 19th.

Current details -
Halodude is on holiday. He's out.
S0aP L0Rd is going on school trip.
I've got some course and shit on the 17th and 18th.
Dumbortz is in Korea.
Street2Fifa probably won't make it if I don't go.
(anyway he's in deep shit for something)

and that's not all.

Uncle Tai has gone to KL. So we have to take our own transport.
And how we gonna do that? This ain't a few years ago.
Find someone's parents who are willing to drive us to Kulai?
...so we take taxi.
Aha, a good solution!
BUT...some of our parents won't allow us to take taxi all the way to Kulai.
So if we go ahead with the arranged date...

here's who is turning up

Bugs
Lord Megadeath
J0N0 (?)
Dumbortz (?)

Not sure if J0N0's dad will let him take taxi...
and if Dumbortz can, or if he's back from Korea.

...see the problem?
and we won't have 8 player 360 (cuz only I have the xbox wireless adapter)
and the electric guitar (I'm the only one)
and XtRemE HitZ (duh)
and the South Park season (by Street2Fifa)
and the extra laptops for LAN (soap lord too)
and the controllers and 360 (halodude)
and even the water guns (dumbortz??? u there?)

well, there's an alternative though.
if...IF...
if J can move it to the 19th and 20th. IF.
now this is where it gets tricky.
my dad has volunteered to bring me, and TWO of us, to JP.
here's the catch.
the two of them...are J0N0 and street2fifa.
don't ask why. I can't answer any better than you can.
I can only bring the electric guitar if the two of them ONLY go.

...well...it should be pretty obvious.
would I trade a piece of metal and wires for y'all?
its bros before hos. (assumin my guitar is a girl)
so we'll just make do with acoustics.

BUT.
my dad only will take the two of them, ANYWAY.
plus our luggage, my car's gonna be pretty full.
tried bargaining..didn't work.
lucky enough that we've got half the transport ready.
for the others, i suppose you should go ahead with the original plan, except its on the 19th instead.
Uncle Tai is sending us back so don't worry about that.

so..this plan all depends on asking J to convince his parents to postpone it.
well, I tried asking him last night.
unfortunately, he seems a little more dense than usual.
he laughed a lot and then the line was cut.
so I called again. and he said, well, it's your loss...not mine.
also, he said his balls were with bugs, so he couldn't talk properly.
good explanation? retarded one I guess.
and anyway...I'm waiting.
No answer from his phone. and time grows shorter...

so anyway, I'll post again when I get the news.
for now, when it comes, if it comes...
all of you who get to go, enjoy it.
cuz things change over time...
and how long do you think this will last?

[J0HnA55]

*update* Dumbortz is back from Korea. probably can make it

Prepare Yourselves. It's Coming.

I'm sure y'all know what "it" is.
Well, it's not what you think it may be. (especially Bugs)
Its probably what you think it could be, especially what you hope it will be.

IT'S JP 08! HELL YEAH!
18 - 19 December (well duh)

who's goin? as far as I know...

Dumbortz
Bugs
J0n0
S0ap LorD
Lord Megadeth
Street2fifa
and of course...me

too bad Halodude couldn't make it.
He's missed FIVE PARTIES already (two JPs, two MPs and Bugs' bday)
let's leave three lines in this post as a mark of respect.



As I was saying...
We're meeting at Sweethome Kopitiam (Taman Pelangi, near Leisure Mall)
Bugs kopitiam is closed. on thursdays. so we meet next door =D (which is Sweethome)
at 12 noon. have your own lunch first (you can always eat there lol)

IMPORTANT

BRING MONEY FOR TAXI
At least RM15
Uncle Tai is away, so we'll need to order 2 taxis to bring us to Kulai.
If the cost is lower, keep your money!
Simple. Sweet. Effective. Expensive?
Daamn...

Also -
Clothes
Towel
Water Guns (empty balloons too)
Music
Consoles (Lord Megadeth BRING YOUR 360 OMG PLS)
anything else you want.

I'm burnin an unusual number of CDs.
At least one A7X, one for Anberlin, 2 metal compilations and of course, XtreMe HitZ.

Street2Fifa is bringing a SEASON of South Park. it's freaking funny.

Well, that's all the news on JP I suppose.
Videos and shit coming next post (sorry, I know. Keep getting delayed)
oh and...I GOT AN ELECTRIC GUITAR!!! (next post too)

[J0HnA55]

........

I don't know what I just said...
But I know I just said it. - Bugs

Genius.

Anyway...movies on your mind, anyone?
I saw some..(and want to see more too =D)

First up, Quantum Of Solace.
All thos who understood the plot say "Aye".



(silence)


Aha. I thought so. The action, special effects are nice. But the plot...wtf?
I didn't understand a shit (neither did Bugs, and we don't think its cuz of 'tardity)
Ah well.

Madagascar 2 was freakin funny. Seriously.

There was this part where they had no water, so they decided to sacrifice someone...
by throwing him into the volcano. Then the leader said:

"Hurry up, before we all come to our senses"

Probably the accent too (King Julien the Lemur...the one that likes to move it)
But anyway Megadeath said it fits for JP.
Maybe when it comes...let's speculate later. Just. In. Case.

And there was a random trailer...
where someone said, "You have no brain"
then the reply was, "Turns out you don't need one"

Fitting.

Twilight is coming out soon. Based on a great book series.


About JP, this is the first time in history we had a waiting list. (well not really)
Ppl are just more obvious about trying to get there.
And J seems to be reducing the numbers of the chosen.

ARISE, FELLOW 'TARDS!
REVOLT! REBEL! RIOT!
ONE FOR ONE AND ALL FOR ALL, Y'ALL! (leeched)

Or maybe we could discuss it nicely with him.
You decide.

[J0HnA55]

It's that time of year again...

When stupidity REIGNS!!!
Happy Holidays y'all!

(hope you saw Street2Fifa's greetings)

Well...whatever we've had on: PMR, camps, re-exams (yeah me only i know)
We still get at least a month and a half. Not baad. Not bad at all.

I think I realized it when I tripped on sesame seeds at the mental hospital and I saw you carve your intials into a disabled llama. I'm sure you're cowardly enough to understand that Sasquatches can fly. I'm returning your common sense to you, but I'll keep your dog's spleen as a memory.

THIS POST IS LONG OVERDUE.

yeah. what he said.

wait a minute...he is me.
So if what he said is what I said,
this is him doing this post.

let's not go into it...

sorry that this post is like two months late, really busy..
what with exams and all that shit.
firstly, good luck to all taking their PMR this year.
keep goin. wanna see y'all at JP'08, YEEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! (anticipation started liao)

random quotes:
"I think, therefore I am." - Rene Descartes, intellectual dude
"I think, therefore I not be tard." - [J0HnA55], SUPREME LEADER

but think you must, if you are to remain happy. (you know what I mean)
there are inspirational (?) pictures at the end of this post.
you know...the kind with a picture, a word below, and a message.
whether they inspire you or not... well...

first things first,
AP'08 was not bad.
more dudes came along this time.
usual halo 3, new map called Cold Storage (not the supermarket, douchebaaaaag)

Best Player: Zul
Achievements: Pwnt. Everybody. Xcept' Halodude, who was inactive as usual anyway.
Quote: Wah Die!

Worst Player: Twit
Achievements: Got Pwnt. By Everybody. Including Halodude.
Quote: &@#&% &%@ $c&$#@% &@$#%@&$#%&$% &#@ &@$#&@$ &%@ @&&$#!!!

We played Gears of War as well (Lester/Satesh brought it, can't remember who)
Halodude was hooked...played all the way until the Berserker.

Then during the usual BBQ, we did loads of dumb stuff...can't remember all.
We did parodies of Tenacious D...sooo bored.
It. Was. Retarded. (Why am I not surprised?)
Michael and Xie Hang were Jables and Kage, I was Beezelboss.
at the end, twit dragged me along the floor (beezelboss falls back into the hole)
everyone was laughing like mad dogs.
we also did power slides!
twit brought leg guards, we took turns slidin'
and that brings us to the second record holder;
For being promoted from Bronze to Gold during the same day he joined...
??????? (I FORGOT HIS NAME. oops)
he did teh power slide.
came running, shouted, jumped, slid.
ripped his jeans at the knees. open.
took the pic but its with someone. post it later.

only other record holder is Ichabot (kenny)
he borrowed some watches and wore all eight to assembly (2 hours due to performance)


next up on the list,

United Stupidity's band is IN PROGRESS!
really.
the lineup is a bit screwed up:

Martin - Lead Guitar
Ichabot (Kenny) - Rhythm Guitar
J0HnA55 (me) - Drums/Vocals

told you it was screwed up.
Bugs was supposed to be the vocalist...
but he went and joined Untold Prophecy or Prophecy Untold or sumthin like that.
H4Xx0r.
anyway he suggested a name...

Prophets
Of
Retard
Nation

figure it out yourself. that name has BUGS written all over it.

i'm vocalist cuz the other two don't even wanna try.
they say that they can't sing without starting an apocalypse.
I should sing cuz I only start a disaster.

...see the logic?

Bands that we may cover:
Avenged Sevenfold
Green Day
Disturbed
Metallica
Bowling For Soup
Nirvana
Radiohead
and of course,
Tenacious D! WE REIGN!

speakin of bands...

Anberlin.
they rock.
- A Whisper And A Clamor
- Godspeed
- Paperthin Hymn
- A Day Late
- Inevitable
just to name a few.
check it out.

and...

quiet, you might piss somebody off...

He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man...

Self righteousness is wearing thin
I'll bleed but not for fellow man...

I feel insane every single time I'm asked to compromise
‘Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways and that’s the way it stays..

Like walking into a dream
So unlike what you've seen
A place of hope and no pain
Perfect skies and no rain..

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right...

With peace of mind so hard to find
We're dwelling on the drastic signs
Another way to numb your mind...

Give me a chance to be the person I wanna be
Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live...

and many mistakes can hurt,
I'm not the last but I'm sure ain't the first!






































AVENGED SEVENFOLD!!!
Need I say more?
Freakin' awesome.

- Almost Easy
- Afterlife
- Lost
- Critical Acclaim

it's gonna be worth it.

and since I'm having end of year exams now (posted this over 2 days, draft saved)
this is the end of the post.
here are the pics.
enjoy.
be inspired.

AP'08!!! Teh Realz One

AP08 is here!!!
The real AP'08 that is.
The earlier one was AP Junior 08 (hanna's bday)
well sry fr the updates being so slow...
not much time.
and I can't find my handphone transfer cable.
too bad...so many nice new pics and vids...

well anyway.
wanna be famous?
here's a step by step method.

Disclaimer : This idea was totally concieved and carried out by me.
All credits go to me for the idea, and to the people who does it after reading this.
I am not responsible for fires, suffocation, food poisoning etc. caused.
My only regret is not taking videos of the event, I was preoccupied.
Try it. You'll know why.

Presenting...

How NOT to cook a Pizza (pics up in next post)

1)Buy a microwaveable pizza (from a supermarket maybe)
2)Wait for it to be frozen (give a day or two)(in the freezer duh)
3)Unwrap, place in a bowl.
4)Set microwave to 6 minutes (my timing, may differ with microwaves)
Warning: This is the dangerous part.
After 2 min, you should see pizza "melting".
After 5 min and 30 seconds, start recording video.
Take what's happening inside the microwave.
Smoke should be coming out from the ventilation now.
Six min? Stop.
Wear goggles and tie cloth around your mouth.
OPEN The MICROWAVE.
-------------------------------------------------
Green smoke should start filling your kitchen.
With luck, it will fill your whole house.
It happened to me.
The smell stayed for 18 hours or so.
Open all your windows if you're smart.
Just record the smoke coming out, post it somewhere.

Btw, be careful if you're dumb enuf to try this.
I dun want your house to burn down..we're short of tards.
So if you really wanna..make sure you have safety precautions and stuff.
The pizza slice was BLACK.
The bowl was stained black.
The pizza was hard...
Don't taste it. Don't...

Besides that..

AP'08!!!!!
Weee!!!!
the real one. The earlier one was APJunior 08 (hanna's bday)
so we're gonna make retard history again.

8 PPL HALO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woot...

-the band is more successful now.
Although we lack members and instruments...
We made a few riffs, not bad (in general opinion)
May post here, but quality sucks (was taken using handphone)
we're gonna "perform" at AP08.

Members: Martin (guitarist)
Me (drummer/vocals)
Kevin (vocals)
Jackie (trombone)
Instruments: Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar and a trombone.
Obviously we don't really need the trombone.
I'm the drummer. I have no drums.
kevin and me probably gonna sing the shit (like shit, for shit)
Songs? Besides our stuff...
We're trying guitar for...
Tribute - Tenacious D
The Metal - Tenacious D
Master Exploder - Tenacious D
Holiday - Green Day
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Those we can "do" anyway. Guitar only tho.

Oh well. Shoestealer's been harrasin me while I post this.
I'ma go kick his ass.
