Hmm time seems to pass so fast during the holidays. That doesnt feel good, cos i still have loads of stuff i wanna do.

Spent yesterday eating jap buffet at Honjin (not so good already but still ok), drinking wine at some wine bar in dempsey hill (good german risling, but that's it) and finished off with some macdonald hot fudge sundae. But of course i woke up pretty late and went for a shootout to get myself real hungry before the feast.

I realise that in any social situations, it's important to have good company. Good company is like my bro, who's always able to work a crowd, and get everyone happy. The key thing is to get every happy. The last thing you want is a demanding person asking to you to do this and do that. It's really quite insensitive and turn off. Do not command anyone to do anything, especially if they do not want to do it.

I hate it when people shove things at me too. I don't owe anyone.

Rambo IV is good, like Nick said. Violent enough for me. Action packed enough. Gripping 1h 30 mins. Caught balls of fury today. Not bad, lame enough. Maggie Q is hot. Too bad her boobs are quite small, or she'll be really complete. Gonna watch Iron Man tml. Heard it's really good. Better be.

When working out, it's always good to push yourself, but it's always hard to push yourself. I realised that doing a 3rd set of static/weights is really the key to condition your body. Cos 1 set is easy, 2 sets is tough but still manageable, but by the 3rd it gets hard and painful. It's all good though, especially if you see/feel the results.

I haven't touched my strat yet since the start of the holidays. I'm really quite packed with activities, that i dun really have time to sit down and go thru my RSS too. I'm also tasked with playing "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin" by Teresa Teng on my bro's wedding, so tt's a major arrow which i think i should not avoid and just practise hard for it like a real musician should. That should probably take up quite alot of guitar time i suppose. But promise, i will post something for the guitarists reading this blog.

Disclaimer: I'm not a good performing musician at all. I usually screw up here and there during live, and recording tt's even worse. So dun count on me to perform really well. I just try my best.

Anyways, from what i learnt from Bernard Tan, music has several forms: Listening, composing, performing, recording, conducting, teaching, producing and i guess a few others. Some people have a good ear for music, some people can write solid songs, some people can give a fantastic live performance, some people are damn solid in the studio, some people can conduct the orchestra really well to give a good interpretation of the piece, some people are able to impart their knowledge easily and effortlessly, some people just know how to make a piece of music sound better and sellable. Basically in this industry, you can't really do them all.

What helps a person survive in the industry is to be really good in one aspect. You gotta specialise so to speak, and probably be generally good enough in another. Like Jimmy Page, not really a very technically skilled guitarist (quite sloppy during live), but able to pen some killer songs. Happened to be quite solid in producing in his later years too.

So dun be too upset if you can't do them all. It's normal to be ordinary.

I guess that's about it for today. Nothing much to say really.
