I'm entrusted by my bro to do an anthemic song for his military unit. Yea, when i first heard it, i was quite wtf-ed. But oh well, it seems i can put my songwriting skills into some use this time around so why not?

The song is not done yet, but more or less i've got the melody down already. Daniel u wanna help with the lyrics? Haha.. Anyways, i envisioned the song to be extremely cheesy. At least i felt so. Let Weiguang hear the MIDI sample and he thought it was pretty good. Full of gutso he said. *Shrug*. Hope my brother doesnt get fired from the army because of this.

For the past 2 weeks i was thinking of writing something, but yet i dun really know what to write. Kinda like brain-dead during this hols u know what i mean? And yea my mind is semi-occupied by Travian, tt stupid game tt Louis introduced me to kill time. Kill time it really did. Such a simple and elegant game, yet with so much strategy, planning and timing involved that it seems like we are fighting a world war. And hell yea, we are fighting a war!
I know i'm gonna get some *rolls over eyes* from Shirui, but nvm la hahahaha.
Anyways, holidays havent been very very inspiring. So far, i've only written 1 song (was planning to do more initially, but song-writing isnt something tt u say u wanna do means u can do it) Still working on it, especially the lyrics, really dunno what to write. It's titled "House of Rock n Roll", somewhat Van Halen-ish influences in terms of the riffs. Harmonics and all that. Very anthemic, arena rock like Daniel says. But when u have a song title like that, u dun really know what to write for lyrics. Sheesh. And there's this segment of chords where it's kinda hard to solo. Maybe gonna try something weird this time. And i wonder how am i gonna screech like Ronnie James Dio. Hmmmm
I need a hair cut. Badly.
Just played the best basketball game in a while. With Dred's bunch of Hong Kah East players. Good challenge, esp this dude Paul who's like uber-good. No one could really mark him in his heyday, but now he's grown abit pudgy so better chance this time. Still hard though. Anyways, i made 2 3-pointers (not clutch though, more like free shots), and assisted a hell lot of fast breaks. Made some pretty decent passes and got the offense moving. I think i did quite well defensively, cos Xiang was like saying "Good-D" (Good Defense) throughout the game. Some steals, some strips. I guess the training in NUS did work to a certain extent? I felt confident throughout the game though. Maybe the touch is coming back?
Anyways i did all the above-mentioned, after running abt 3 km with Sichao. I'm so in pain right now. But it's a good fitness day. Must work towards my 6 pecs and not get suan-ed by Key!
Hmm, my keyboard battery is dying. After like... a few months? Or even more considering when i first bought this thing. I think abt 1 yr... ok changing batteries every year seems like a decent deal enough.
Oh yea, Christmas and New Year were spent with Shirui. Christmas with her family, and New Year with mine. Nothing much really. I'm not really a crowd person, so i will not go out and get cosy with the pple out there. And add in the burden of protecting Shirui, i think i will enjoy lesser. Watch fireworks can come Boon Lay. Actually i can watch from my balcony, though it's quite blocked. At least i can hear the fireworks booming haha.
Mmm keyboard really dying. And i guess i cant think of anything to type. Another day perhaps.
