why can memories never be forgotten?
oh well
then they will not be called memories anymore right?
they can be called forgotten memories
hmmm..
sounds like a good tltle for a song right?

humans seem to exert and wield a very huge amount of power over themselves and wherever they may be

must be due to the will

the human will
willpower

willpower changes everything

from the littlest of events like coming to school on time
all the way to

affecting how u will turn out as an adult in 10 years time.

AmaZing

truly spectacular stuff

indeed

once you've thought of it
it seems that u control destiny

and that fate doesnt exist

but that is the optimistic viewpoint

the realistic view
(never call it the pessimistic view-
the "pessimistic" view is often the closest and the best one can expect from certain situations-it is realistic...usually..because it involves no endorphins that cause u to be disillusioned
indeed when one hopes for the worst and the outcome isnt nearly as bad one is relieved..
better than getting ur hopes up i suppose..then again, this is only my opinion)

long digression there

yes
i believe we can controll our destiny and fate to some extent
but we often lack the ability to see furthur than the present
que sera sera
whateva will b will b
...right?
will i suppose

until the outcome left to this nursery song leaves u depressed
leaves u in despair

wHy ?
questions start to come out
wHat went wrong?
pops up too

then its anger/hurt/sadness/helplessness again
paradox as usual lah

gotta go

hope to maintain this blog in spite of the holidays.

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything (turn, turn, turn)There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it���s not too late
(byrds-turn turn turn)

patience is the key i suppose
but to which lock?
can there be hope with despair?

yes.
this is the 1st time ive written a blog entry at night.
its way different.
i hear something chirping around me
is it crickets?
are there crickets in singapore?
abundantly i mean?

saw a cockroach on the pavement as i was coming back
saw harry potter and the goblet of fire
ok
quite ok
yes
its ok
but cho...
is...
leave it here

--------------------------
who is the tinman?
what did he want?
did he get it?
in the end?

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

i want to watch narnia
the lion the witch and the wardrobe
read the series
except for one book that i dont have
the rest i have read

better than lotr

but then
that's just only what i think

life is too short
to worry
to ponder
to deliberate
to hesitate

hesitation causes misopportunities
(if there is such a word)
yet there is always a need to think
how wonderful
what a wonderful world

the colours of the rainbow
so pretty in the sky....

i see friends
shaking hands
saying
how do u do
they're really saying
i
love
u

I hear babies cry......
I watch them grow
(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than I will never know)

yes
i
think to myself
what a wonderfulll

world


4 song demos are ready
music only
lyrics halfdone

im just not good with words

no good at all

titles(tentative):

1 moving(on/off)
2 reason(let me know)
3 untitled(as of now)
4 song (for you)

very poorly done
messy
especially the endings

rough cuts

i dont intend all to be english songs
they just wont fit

previews by 2 teachers indicate a preference for track 2 and 4

vocals not done yet cuz no mike

i hope to do the vocals for 3 songs

will try to get them burned and converted to mp3

but the quality will drop even more drastically

i noe cuz ive tried it already

it just sucks.

will be releasing the music soon..

when i can next use the room in skool

..............................................................

goodnight.

today i will not sound lyk shakespeare in love.

my god.

cher
how could you say that?
shakespeare is lyk..AnCiEnt lor..
and my name is joel.
nvm nvm nvm


anyway
this is the first time i have listened to a complete chinese album.

my whole life

good impression

guess who's??


jAy cHou one la..


shi yi ye de xiao bang


not bad.

i say not bad cause i dun lyk every song
but then its only my opinion.
no lawsuits or riots pls

let me change the subject

i shall try to incorporate as many fallacies as i as i write today.
why are they called logical fallacies when they are ENTIRELY illogical?

i dont know.
i seek enlightenment.

i also listened to Jay Chou Incomparable Concert Live 2004 CD..
i think the songs there were better than november's chopin.

btw
xiao bang
stands for chopin, who was a romantic composer born in

guess


1 march 1810

sounds like someone's birthday right?(apart from the year..)

if i'm not mistaken, it's yvonne's.

yvonne's

(to yvonne: congratulations..
you share ur bdae with one of the best composer/pianist in the world to have ever existed. seriously..lol..
you might be as gifted as he was..
go for it man..)


ps: chopin is one of the best composers i eva played and enjoyed after that(the others give me a kinda irritated feeling..)
cuz of his melodies.
inbelievable, some jus take ur breath away
this is subjective too..
depends on the listener, his/her mood, the atmosphere etc...
why havent i started using my logical fallacies?


-let me start-

i really like jay chou now after listening to his songs.
his songs are so... beautiful/fitting/cool/nice

yet when i heard of his new album title, i was surprised.

yes, he is november's chopin.
he is born 18 january i believe.
never mind that

chopin plays the piano ( so does jay)

chopin was one of the best composers of melodies (so is jay)

chopin was popular with the ladies of his time.
(so is jay)

chopin toured places (so does jay)

chopin was frequently ill in winter

chopin died of pulmonary tuberculosis


the implications of titling ur album as november's chopin are kinda enormous.
considring that chopin had ill health in winter and that he died of tb in october.

wish jay a blessed winter and a merry christmas

but i suppose its for the larger good:4/6 similarity in success
~66%

did i just achieve ad hominem?
(i think i have incorporated the others in somewhere..just tat i forgot their names)

i think my 1st album will be titled: ba yue xiao bang

i think ive talked too much.

feel restless and disturbed today
for some reason

-just like heaven-
yeah
maybe when one dies
life will start to make more sense

when the threads of time that work the way they work
that deny you from certain things finally unwind around you
freeing you
freeing you?
wait
you can never be sure i suppose
when the threads unwind from around you and you are gone then i guess the real sadness begins.
ParadoxicaL
oh rejoice in this bondage.
even if things never go ur way and the happy endings are only fulfilled in the movies.

not a bad show
peng shihan iswan and me
watched it
wanted to see harry potter...

but glad i saw this show..
its a good show.

great story.
good love story.

sometimes i dream..


i can run
like the wind
and be strong
when my heart
just wants to give in...
I dream I can be
The hero that's in me
When I dream...


And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
When the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathing in
A soothing wind
I wanna be inside your heaven...

feelings..nothing more than feelings..feelings like i've never known before..these feelings of love...
haha..
jus some lyrics of some very old song..thought it will tie in very nicely with the skin--same theme ma..

hell..
sometimes i find myself so dumb. i never seem to noe wad to do sia..i am just plain dumb..
i think that there is a difference between dumbness and stupidity..
dumbness ties in more with denial, feigned ignorance, and a whole host of other complicated feelings.
stupidity is characteristic of innocence..i guess.
i dont really noe wad im taliking abt now.
jus seeking a solution.
my desired solution.
have i just played my last card.... and failed?..the croupier is coming again..
but can i play another round?
was that the last round i could afford?
fate is the master dealer..
fate deals a cruel hand.
someone help me.
i am just the jack of spades.
