Never trust your TV...

Babies learn from what they see.
Teenagers learn from MTVs.
Adolescent learn from documentarys.
Adults learn from society.
But never trust your TV.

That passion isn't real, but the food on the table is.
That love isn't real, but your bank account is.
That future isn't real, but your beer belly is.
That fairytales isn't real, but your deathbed is.
So... never trust your TV.



Every Rose has its thorn - Poison


We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night.
Although we both lie close together.
We feel miles apart inside.
Was it something I said or something I did.
Did my words not come out right.
Though I tried not to hurt you.
Though I tried.
But I guess thats why they say,


Chorus:
Every rose has its thorn.
Just like every night has its dawn.
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song.
Every rose has its thorn.
Yeah it does.


I listen to our favorite song.
Playing on the radio.
the dj say loves a game of easy come and easy go.
But I wonder does he know.
Has he ever felt like this.
And I know that you'd be here right now.
If I could have let you know somehow.
I guess,


Chorus:
Every rose has its thorn.
Just like every night has its dawn.
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song.
Every rose has its thorn.
Yeah it does.


Though its been a while now.
I can still feel so much pain.
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals.
But the scar, that scar remains.


Solo


I know I could have saved a love that night.
If Id known what to say.
Instead of makin love.
We both made our separate ways.
But now I hear you found somebody new.
And that I never meant that much to you.
To hear that tears me up inside.
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess,


Chorus:
Every rose has its thorn.
Just like every night has its dawn.
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song.
Every rose has its thorn.
Yeah it does.

Result of marketing strategy?

Everyday, companies worry about reaching out to the masses. Spreading their news and products as far as possible. But there're always fringe activities. Kinda cool in a way.

xfatcat's engagement day...

It just felt like any other day. But his mom was all over the place, all fidgety n' fluttery. Never been to a muslim engagement event before ... Thus an enriching experience, for the 1st hour or so. Stuffing myself with lotsa curry puffs and kueh lapis, and enjoying some side-shows of Farnil and his scaly friend. The finale was the dinner, rewarded a day's work of shooting video.

Is this where boys become men?
Eh, then can pass me some of your toys?

Farnil's shot

Gone in 60 seconds...

One of the many things we do for a peace of mind. Some do it to show-off wealth and power. Some do it for love. Others do it for personal assurrance. I'm just standing there. Admiring the irony of it all. Funny we had to burn a 'luxurious castle' in front of a luxurious condominium at the foot of Fort Canning...

At least I've got a camera phone now... to capture life at it's full glory... hehehe...

Yet Another Gear Fits !!!

Beyerdynamic Headzone
Headzone makes sound an experience. Through the use of the ultrasonic-headtracker system, Headzone permanently detects the position of your head and adapts the source audio playback position accordingly. Unlike traditional headphones, turning your head does not affect the localisation of Headzone’s sound. As in a real environment, when using Headzone the virtual speaker or sound source is located in front of, next to or behind you depending on how you turn your head, therefore simulating the “sweet spot” in your control room. The result is so effective that you completely forget that you are wearing headphones. -www.beyerdynamic-usa.com

So crazy it's FREAKY!
Now try watching some horror movies with this baby. 5.1 has never been this close... to your ears lah...


Drums or no drums?

How do we mic up a drum set?
1 SM57?
With mics that's worth a million pratas and fish curry?
Or With a mouse and DrumKit From Hell !!!

The Finger Players @ Victoria Theatre

Finally got a chance to moonlight at Victoria Theatre again. The show was 0501 by The Finger Players. Performance art at it's most indulgent moment. So much so that they shifted the whole audience to watch from upstage. And lights shooting on oddest spaces. Performance is still downstage area. Left the luxurious theatre seats empty.

We 'suffered' the most as usual :) But a good effort though, trying for Best Set Design and Best Lighting Design. If not I wouldn't have the chance to help revert the entire Victoria's lighting rig back to house rig.
