Now I know how James Harthouse felt , nothing to do in the world, just lazing around. I was even bored enough to open up the mozart sonata songbook to play some mozart! his first sonata in C is typically sparky, then i played the last one...more subdued... in the end i just played the sonata in C, the familar 'do mi so ti-do-ti-do' u noe that one. yah..aiya just trying to sight read the entire thing....I ended up writing a piano-styled ballad that was supposed to mimic X-Japan, coz i jsut hate the thing, and man it's so easy to write. u just have this descending chord prog and you keep repeating it all the way...gangwei says it sounds like 'endless rain', well it's meant to sound like them, sorry. haha. it's not a serious song=) later on i ended up playing guitar, watching TV, just to relieve myself of all the boredom. sigh. playing more piano later on....the mozart andante in A major sonata...some other songs just to cheer me-self up....'be magnified' by Don Moen, great song. it's so uplifting, and just what I want to say. ahhh. mozart sounds great on the piano. his orchestration is just so balanced, and melodies so precise and clear and balanced and melodic and flowing...it's like the piano is singing, and the tonalities are so balanced and clear. but of course it'll be great if the piano was just-tempered. sigh. my usual grouse again. i bet i couldn't tell the difference anyway.

sigh i have to get a new guitar. my old guitar's creaking, and u just can't play for 5 minutes without it being out of tune again! silly.

so one week of exams have passed,but frankly all the pressure comes before the exams. i'm strangely subdued during the exam week, it's almost like holidays. yet i still have to study 2 topics of paper 3. irritating. so far, econs was alright, lit was alright, i'm so glad it's over, history was alright, math was bad. but then again math is always bad. hope it isn't too bad.

sigh. it's bad. studying for lit now. still can't finish. had a really weird dream about me trying to get e attention of a girl who was in the same clasroom [she happened to be, she's not in my class] by kicking the teacher and talking to the teacher alot. sigh. but she just didn't care. haha. so apt=). played some snooker just now, which was really sucky at the start but slowly got more into the groove, i guess.

anyway, just some great new songs for all to listen to.

1. travis: re-offender
2. dido: white flag
3. dreamz fm: should i stay
4. starsailor: silence is easy

Today not so good. sigh. lit wasn't that impressive, and i kept having songs stuck in my head, from beyonce's 'crazy in love' to some of my own songs. sigh. stupid. tsk. like so sleepy.

am raging now. sigh. seems like i can't get the tele after all. what a stupid thing to rage about. but you see wannabe pop stars with their stupid guitars that cost a million bucks and like they can't even play and you tell me is that fair. ahhhh... ragingg now, but i'll be fine later on. sigh. i can't stay raging and angry for too long, which is bad, coz i can't write a raging song. haha. but well. you know. yeah. i mean i used to be really full of rage last time but i guess i'm mellowed down alot as Christianity has probably brought me to realise the important things of life and the Spirit calms me down more often i guess. but then again. sigh. mebbe i'm getting soft. haha. it all depends on your point of view. i happen to think it's an improvement, you just lose a few things about life.

lit was a killer. i just hope i did fine.

In high spirits today, maybe coz i got to go home early to sleep. haha. econs paper was pretty okay, hopefully can do reasonably well. math was quite die, i think i'm consigned to a B or worse. history was so-so, but you'd never know, especially for essay papers.
in high spirits. listening to weezer's 'keep fishin'', simple pop punk music that's so catchy and so fun haha so cool. been writing quite alot of songs today. two songs...one that's really simple and 'major', just a basic 1-4-5-4-5 chord prog with just a fun melody. i can imagine the guitars jangling and twangling in the background....you know, telecasters just giving that good old rhythms....wanna get a tele man, that kinda sound, is really cool. so rhythmical and so full and yet so catchy and jangly. who says it's just for country music? [i could change the pickups and it'll make allt he difference].....yheah wana get a tele. got any to sell? haha the other song is more pop/boybandish lah. haha. sigh i'm unabashedly pop, it's embarassing sometimes.
