Oh it's time to blog again. Guess what? I'm playing Maple Story!
Implications? I've yet to move out from my pit.
Had an idea to teach guitar the other day. Was planning it to be a basic blues course, complete with notes and a lesson plan. Yea it's gonna charge, cos i gotta eat, but at a token rate, say 15-20 per lesson?
I feel i'm good enuff to teach blues at a basic lvl, proficient enough to give my student a good idea of what is blues, improvisation, soloing techniques and all that.
But Kai said something quite true the other night: "You gotta have something tt's gonna wow ur student on the first day of class. Something to let pple know tt 'Wow this guy is good'." Apparently to him, i do not have this quality. Thinking back myself, yea i really dun have it.
Will my student just run off after one lesson, thinking "This guy like try to cheat money sia".
I'm doubtful abt this plan now, tho i really do like the idea of imparting my guitar knowledge to ppl.
I'm in need of a breakthrough right now. Something/someone/somewhere to inspire me, motivate me. A catalyst, that's the word. To kickstart my engine. I'm so bummed out after NS tt i couldn't really recognise myself now. Ppl dun realise, but i know it with my heart.
Currently my Soundclick is doing pretty decently, being added to a few stations for the "metallish" songs like Arabian Nights and Instrumetal. Son of the Devil is doing pretty well on the charts too. But trend is, my vocals and lyrics dun sell. I'm vocally and lyrically challenged. I guess it cannot be helped since my English is not good.
Got so much to say, but my listening ear is busy studying and mapling. Can't fault her, and sometimes she cannot do much either. Which makes me wonder what's the need for a listening ear. It just makes u feel better for a while, and then it comes back to haunt u again.
Hate this haunting feeling. I hate it most when ppl remind u of something tt u want to forget. Something u've done, u've regretted, but fuck it just has to be brought up again.
Recently refreshed my friendship with Ian, my secondary school classmate. He's the music dude. We'd sing November Rain's intro everytime we walk from class to class. He'll do the piano while i do the drums. And he has a thing for cats. He still does. He's wacko. He's WTFcat. He's Ian. And he plays keyboards for KR Rockers now. Way to go. It's so cool to be associated with KR Rockers. Apparently TH band din have the "OMG u are from TH band?!" effect compared to KR Rockers. He's cool. Im not so cool. Fortunately he's my fren. I have a cool fren.
I'm talking alien-ish now. But that's ok. Cos i have a new tune that sounds Radiohead-ish. Radiohead is alien-ish. Haunting melodies. That's what they are all abt. But my tune sounds close to High n Dry. I realised it first. Then Kai realised it. Before long, everyone will say it's a copy. So no this song is not gonna happen. It's not gonna make it. Maybe i shld just destroy it. But then it keeps repeating in my head during my MA2101 exam. Maybe it's not that bad after all. Shall think abt it.
Speaking abt MA2101, it's a pretty bad paper turned good. I got stuck big time in qns 1. Ambiguous question. Seems like it's asking for a short ans, so i gave it one. But my highly skeptical mind think otherwise. So i changed it to a long one. And then i realised it's wrong. So i gave another answer. Which is wrong too. And by then half an hour is gone. And so i asked for a new answer booklet cos i already wasted 2 pages. Everyone took notice and prodded me with "WAH U DO SO FAST AR? NEED NEW BOOKLET SO FAST?" after the exam. But fuck it. So i rushed through the paper till qns 4. Pretty ok till then, i could do the questions without much thinking. I looked up the clock, left 1 hour. I was like "good, can take my time now", thinking tt there were only 6 questions. After finishing qns 5, i looked up again, 30 mins left. I flipped to the last page, with qns 6 7 8 staring at me. Fuck. But in the end i managed to attempt everything. Pretty satisfied. Hope i get a good grade.
I over tore the dead skin on my palm. Now it's reddish and singes. Ouch. Been doing lots of pull ups lately, so much so tt the part right below each finger has a small scab of dead skin. Or whatever u call it. And it's fun to keep picking at it. And it just regrows and u can pick somemore.
A ton of shit . But this is what happens when u dun blog for a long time. U get shit.
