I miss gunz.

2011-10-02T19:48:00.001-07:00

Less than a week left.

2011-02-08T06:13:00.000-08:00

And all I've really been able to achieve since i came back.
Nothing much really. Asides being obedient. Nothing much else really.
Hence, my short and somehow, suppose to show that I'm abit upset that I'm going back post.
/Upset.

As always,

2011-01-24T02:29:00.000-08:00

When one comes back from overseas studying, they often get bombarded by questions.
So from what I have gathered.. The top 10 most asked questions (Since i came back from melbourne):

1.Where are you studying at?
2.How is life there?
3.What are you studying?
4.How are you?
5.Nice ka study there?
6.How's the weather?
7.Do you prefer it there or here?
8.Would you wanna work here or there?
9.When are you going back?
10.How long will you be in Australia?

Yes these questions get asked ALWAYS. ALWAYS. So if you were going overseas or anything of any sort, get a lil piece of paper and jot down what you would wanna answer for these questions.
(~~i excluded the funny/hamsap ones~~)

So how are you?

2011-01-18T03:01:00.000-08:00

Dear Alex,

How have you been doing? I heard that you've been..Weird mooded. Issues arising all around. I also understand that a certain someone has been you know, tampering with your mood lately. Has he/she still been a nuisance to you lately? I certainly hope not.

I typed this letter for you, so you can see what's your..resolution for 2011.

1. Come back to Kk at the end of 2011 in one piece.
2. (Learn hoow to) Make anyone around me happy.
3. Certainly try not to gain weight / Better shape.
4. Get better with the uke.
5. Get waaay better with the uke.... which = A new uke! :D
6. Improve photography? (Hmmm.. Derek and apple, coaching lessons please)
7. Attend a concert?
8. Get awesome results (Yes the ones that will blow the folks minds's)
9. Earn money to buy anything i want/need (Me no shopaholic okay)
10. Obtain, no. Find. that certain someone.

Sincere Thanks for reading this short but oh well post. I bid you a great night.

Yours Truly,
Life.

Travel?

2011-01-10T06:18:00.000-08:00

Recently I've been thinking about places to travel, during these years, or places to travel to before i Die ( With all the dramas going here and there, getting hit in the crossfire, i think it's gonna be pretty darn soon)

1. Hawaii (Oahu or Maui)

Ah so beautiful..What's not to love? (Hopefully there's treks for me to trek :) )

OF COURSE THE UKULELE. Anyone who knew me would know I'm like obsessed to this 4 stringed cutie.

My silent promise to my real parents, and also my fake parents ;) One day, i shall be like this man. One day. Far from it, but hey i can dream right?

Haiya! :D

2. Italy (Venice)

And imagine coming here with a hypothetical someone. Mmmm you know what i mean.

3. Central Park

I don't really know why I wanna go here, but it seems like a gigantic huge nice park. ~~(not cuz jake played his uke on a rock somewhere here)~~

3rd update in a day?! SAYWUT SAYWUT

2011-01-06T04:08:00.000-08:00

One whole day in shop makes me bored...So.

Enjoy :B

Instrumental Beaut.

2011-01-05T17:31:00.000-08:00

I've been looking around at instruments, ONLINE of course. and can't help but stare, some of them were made with like..insane detail. Almost unimaginable amount of intricacy.

Imagine..Creating a labyrinth. YES, CREATE A LABYRINTH. then after you created it, create another labyrinth in the first one. Repeat that about 100 times. Yes that intricate.

Anywayss, i'll just post links to the pictures and you guys have a look yourself? Sounds good? yea okay.

Yes, all in ONE guitar.

Moving on to the uke section,

Tis, sir. Is a Honu! (Hawaiian for turtle)

Once again, I'm sorry if i sorta 'Spammed' with pictures, but with the title.. You had it coming :) None of the pictures belonged to me btw.

Ineffable

2011-01-05T17:15:00.000-08:00

So recently everyone's back to school, which some choose to look as YAY, some choose to look as Hmmm. Alot choose to look as UGH :(

And me? I'm having a rather elaborate holiday. Well at least till chinese new years. Might be thinking of travelling to Pahang perhaps? Meet a friend over there + lodging for freee :D

So for the people who have started school:
Derek study hard.

Janzen study hard.
Mei mei study hard.
Josh ~~sex~~ study hard, very very hard ;)

Halfway

2010-11-26T05:33:00.000-08:00

Halfway through exams, and I can barely breathe! Everyday I'm sleeping at like 1 or 2, waking up at 6.30 or 7, just to make sure i study better :/

Anyways, here's some stuff that you guys might be interested to know what I'm studying abou-..

Nevermind. Enjoy your weekends!

Exams

2010-11-19T22:35:00.000-08:00

As the title sez, exam period commences next week. Stressing liek mad studin subjects.
Even my typing seems to go horribly wrong.
One thing that I've noticed, is when you're in a study-like-mad period, you tend to find more creative things to do with your free time, sometimes more beneficial. (exclude the hardcore gamers)

An hour long study session would be something like this:

Concentration VS time ftw.

Aaaaanyways, since i saved up abit of money. (and will continue to)
I've been looking around at ukes.~~AGAIN~~
HERE COMES A LITTLE UKE PRAWN :P

Incase you haven't been able to tell, i really like the looks of the slotted headstocks. (The headstocks with two big holes in it).
All pictures taken, and all ukes built by the maginificent, William King.

Visit his site, if you have nothing much to do, and start to have fancy addictions towards nice looking instruments?
William King

Swimming in space

2010-11-12T05:12:00.000-08:00

Well not really space, more like, Space Design. The final assignment has to be handed up next Wednesday and my goodness, i haven't even started building up the model yet. Yes I'm in deeeeeep shiiizzzz. SIEW WEI HELP ME :(
Anyways, here's some shots of what..Space design is about. Making stuff that relates to it's space around it.
~~Who in the world came up with this subject.~~

Eventually Mel came up with this.

Not bad eh, even has night view. Then again, i have to have like..LED lights running around the foamboard that I have to put on. Shiizzz

Whatcha up to?

2010-11-07T00:57:00.000-07:00

So what have I been up to lately?
1. Sleepin (alot)
2. Studying (not alot, but more than normal)
3. Exercising (Yes I regained my once lost love for exercising)

Anyways, I've been reading a fellow Ukulele Underground's blog, http://gx9901ukes.blogspot.com/.
It's pretty good though. Cuz he's rich, he often has reviews of new ukes and stuff.
(He buys ukes in a snap of a finger!)

I've been thinking alot about home recently, almost to the stage where sometimes i had to stop studying. Hahaha. Had to okay.

Miss you guys :) Wait till I get back, when I do. We paint the town red. Heh.

Lust and Greed.

2010-11-03T07:04:00.000-07:00

The two deadliest sins a single person can have.
Lust + Greed = Hell on earth! D:
Speaking of those two things... Here's a book i was reading, and yes. I do read books.

But the stories are...So freaking weird! It's like no ending, or the endings end up really really weirdly.

Xmas in a month or so time! Jingle jingle jingle ~~balls~~ :P
So if anyone would be nice enough to get me an Xmas present? HAHAHA. wishful thinking, wishful indeed.
Oh here's a video of Jake Shi, performing a really new song of his called...'Bring your Adz' Adz means an axe like thing thing back in hawaii for idk what purposes. Kinda power/rock/fast/energetic song if you ask me, but as always, awesome!

Oh, and good luck in anyone's finals, or exams, or relationships, or..basically anythin :) trackSUIT UP!

Helloweeeeen!

2010-10-29T05:18:00.000-07:00

So halloween is coming in a few days, what would you guys be dressed up as?

I'll go with this. Kinda cooool HAHA.

Watch it.

Oh this would be cute, when the pumpkins drink too much :P

Team suit up!

Assignme.

2010-10-27T23:44:00.000-07:00

So i iz having boring time here, owez assignment and studee. All sed no hepi.
Not feeling very healthy recently.. Kinda weird feeling every time i get up, like abit woozy/groggy feel (well doesn't everybody)

There was once a girl,
Who thought she was really pretty,
Always having her hair in a twirl,
But didn't know she looked so silly.

She doesn't take notes too well,
Doesn't take criticism very well,
Always gossiped like hell,
Nowonder in the exams she fail.

SCREW HER I CAN'T CONTINUE THE POEM HAHAHAHAHA.
Drop baby drop~

Notsowarm

2010-10-21T06:34:00.000-07:00

Weather here's been pretty weird recently, one day it's cooling, after that it's cold, after that it's warm, after that it's burning. Talk bout Melbourne weather being fickle minded.

SO taking advantage of the sun today, i had a chance to sunbathe :P oh and of course the uke.

Made in Hawaii beb.

Heeeeh

2010-10-16T08:13:00.000-07:00

So i just finished sketching up a few Custom Ukuleles (~~Incase i need it next time~~) , after staying up till 4AM yesterday drawing them. HAHAHA i can't draw for my life, and i stay up to DRAW. how ironic.

So.....Which/what do you guys think looks best?

This one's all telecaster heads. Slanted to one side :)

This one's all slotted headstocks / classical guitar style.

2010-10-11T14:00:00.000-07:00

Since my mood's been off the charts these few days, been spending lotsa lotsa time with this bad boy.

I need to shoot people.

Chasing A Star

2010-10-08T01:06:00.000-07:00

Okay okay I was bored, and i mean REALLY BORED. So i listened to one of the most relaxing/mellow/lovey songs I've ever heard.~~(and i typed out the lyrics)~~

I wouldn't change a thing about you,
I wouldn't ask the green to be blue,
I wouldn't ask the birds not to fly,
Or change a thing in the sky,
Or turn a hello to goodbye.

I wouldn't ask the birds not to sing,
I wouldn't ask the phone not to ring,
I just couldn't ask the wind not to blow,
Or a boat not to row,
Or a trio to go solo.

You are amazing,
Just as you are,

You're a flower in the springs,
You're the light each morning brings,

And i adore you,
Just as you are,
You're my first star that i wish on,
You're the wish on my star.

....................................................................................................................................................................
Been sleeping way too late recently. Almost constantly about 3AM, getting up at 7.30 or 8 to get ready for class, eventually behaving like a zombie half of the time in class. Almost always need Yana's magical sweets to keep my head from slamming onto the table falling asleep.

Almost like this sad dood here.

Effects of not sleeping properly? (Presented to you in point forms)
- Irregular eating hours
- Irregular sleeping hours
- Insane mood swings
- Numerous amounts of fist clenching situations
- Everyone seems to piss you off

So..What do i do when I'm online, bored, frustrated, bothered?
1. Refresh my regular web pages like.. 10 times ~~an hour~~
2. Number 1, with higher frequency in a shorter period.
3. Number 2, with blablabla.

So many songs to learn, so many patterns to turn, so little skills that I've earned. Sad sad sad.

:O

2010-10-06T06:08:00.000-07:00

Sooooo beautiful..DEREK FAST GO LEARN VIOLIN :P

Happy Birthday Mom :P

2010-10-05T06:42:00.000-07:00

A day late, but oh well. And yes i know i suck at talking but.. :P (She'll never find this blog anyways HAHA)

I miss my puppies :/ After seeing the puppies around in melb central recently..Makes me wanna go back and hug choki till he falls asleep. Whitey can join in :P Or i can have Russsss!!!

Nothing much?

2010-10-01T08:09:00.000-07:00

Okay, so Apple is here.
Brought them around here and there for these few days, hence the unproductivity of anything related to assignments :D
I'll leave you with a short tune i stole from a song called Drop Baby Drop which i played.

Meh

2010-09-27T08:07:00.000-07:00

How do i feel that i have PMS when I'm a guy?! :/
Holidays are halfway commencing and frankly, i haven't been paying attention to my assignments.
There's like a mountain left, and i'm taking it all for granted :/
Econs, Math, English, Space design..Guuuuuuhhh.

So as of now, my current hair is. Meh. You judge and keep it to yourself kay.

Hint: not feeling too good bout it.

Been indulging myself in lotsa ~~Toilet~~ Prison Breaks. And..It's too exciting. Makes me get so serious..Even i don't get that serious when exam comes. HAHAHAHA.

On a side note, i got chunking almost nailed. A bit more of training and I'll be playing slightly better :)
Here's a song that all you lovebirds should consider singing to each other :P

Holidays! (With assignments)

2010-09-24T06:25:00.000-07:00

So tests are finally over, with today being math. Which i did quite well :) But of course, silly mistakes cost me a mark.
-Econs
-Math
-English
-Space Design
The subjects that have assignment, i know. WTF holidays.
Anyways, if any of you would even be interested to know, i finally had a haircut (Succumb to the pressure of derek's : 'CUT YOUR HAIR CUT YOUR HAIR'.
But i have no idea how it looks :/ Prolly abit too...Weird?

Oh, somebody should notify Pepsi. They've gone wrong. Horribly horribly wrong.

How could you possibly have maximum kick with NO SUGAR!?

TESTISbullsh

2010-09-22T05:22:00.000-07:00

Having tests tomoz &@!%#&^@
Been studying quite a bit for this. Although it's only 30 objective questions for economics and 9 subjective questions for math, and 2 essays for law, but still right? :) (Have to be good boy baaaa)

Gonna soon become like this mama's boy :/ Sad Sad.

On another note, just got my WT updated :) Can't wait to try out the rust after tests on friday :D
In a nutshell, i shall hop off and continue studying,

Sheldon Cooper : "Uh...Peace out!"

Bazinggg~

2010-09-20T15:21:00.000-07:00

2010-09-19T03:21:00.000-07:00

All your brains is belong to me.
Cuz i studied lots.
And i feel i have all your brains.
Every single one of yours.

Study,study,study

2010-09-17T17:50:00.000-07:00

So next week, is test week. Test Test Test. Although there's only two papers (Math & Econs) but heck, I'm looking at the scholarship. Then looking at the books, then back to scholarship, then at the books.
Hope that my studying would do me justice :'(
Yes econs was wrote in crimson/blood red. Cuz i hate it, cuz i suck at it. HAHAHA.

On another emotionally depressing note,

I miss my family alot :(
Well not Mel, cuz she's 2 minutes walk away from me.
<--- I was still shorter that daddy. Aww.
<--- Janzen was still as round as a (____) insert round object, and SHORT.
<--- Miss going holidays with them :/

Why won't i have the study study mood when i need it :/ So depressing cough cough

Ahh, thou sunlight. I miss thou.

Tired, again.

2010-09-16T06:42:00.000-07:00

Om Nom Nom Nom :D

Yeaaaa sorry no vege. i didnt buy any HAHAHA.

Looking forward to this weekend though. Why?

-Tomorrow no class. (Cuz teacher was waaaay ahead of schedule :D )

-Can wake up later than usual.

I've been on a photo editing spree. Editing any random stuff i snap. Fun, but i edit like Shiet, so it's quite funny as well. AHHAHAH. Low dose of adrenaline junkie much.

Pasta and Roast Chicken~

2010-09-14T04:09:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow...Presentation. Wtf. Not that I'm not used to presenting, but..This ain't my regular class. Space Design :/ And the teacher sorta picks on every single thing you do wrong. Bla Bla bla bla bl bl a aa a a a....

So...Burning the midnight oil just to get her crap done. Now my eyes are like -_-

Huzaaah.

;D

;D

Soz for the fucking sucky editing skills.

Wake me up when September ends

2010-09-11T23:56:00.000-07:00

So I've been trying Wake Me Up When September Ends on the uke, turns out it sounds pretty nice, but then..
Still wondering how to get my fingers more accustomed to moving around the fretboard.
And, :/ I can't strum upwards properly :( Fingernails always clank the last string before going upwards.
(P.S i strum with my middle finger, and the ring finger, OR with my thumb)

So how's life recently? This.

- Piece of Space Design thing thing, made from pegs and glue, and a foamboard.

Crappy Crappy Crappy.
Everything seems so...Slow. So boring.
Makes me feel moody :/

I've been studying aiight. Test in 2 weeks. Then a weeks break, filled with assignments. How fun :/

On a side note, does anyone want me to learn a new song? :P
No derek, gently weeps is way out of my league.

Edited: Try this video :)

Why do the skies seem so grey?

2010-09-10T00:55:00.000-07:00

I wanna go back to KK :/
I wanna go back home :/
I wanna meet my friends :/
I wanna have fun :/

Sounds like there's so many things that i wanna do..Just. Not everything comes together when you want it to.

So recently what has happened? No idea. My head seems to have been whirling around a few things.
My friends
My family (Choki, Whitey, Venus, Woofy, Stuart included)
Assignments
Songs which i cant wrap my ukulele brain around
Nice awesome looking Ukuleles.

Too bad they cost about
RM6000 each.

Oh oh, Gunz for a brief moment just now with Phork :D
Don't think we can ever recover from this eternal rust piling on us eh derek? HAHAHA.

Anyways, freaking Mel just signed my up for this random photoshoot thing that a lady needed help with. Now I've gotta meet her on next wednesday. :/

Sigh :/

2010-09-07T23:51:00.000-07:00

Guuuhhhh.. Just got back from SPACE DESIGN classes, which i personally think is quite oookaaayyy if you get the hang of it.

But alex being alex, doesn't understand so fast.

So the lecturer, Ms Diana Rosica said.

Can't you all do any better?!?!

Haaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh......? Was our response. Then...Sigh. Next week have to bloody resubmit lo. Here comes a weekend without fun.

So i drowned my disappointment, with this remedy :X

And also ALOT of this.

But when i played Somewhere Over The Rainbow, the late Israel Kamakawiwo'ole gave me this face.

- I think he said, "Stop Playing"

- I think he's showing this face -_-

- I think he can summon rainbows.

- I think too much.

Graph Ass

2010-09-05T23:02:00.000-07:00
