Oldies but Goldies

I’ve been blessed with a family, who loves music. I can remember from a very young age listening to stuff my parents would sing along to. After reading Mic’s blog (she’s on my blog list) about Carpenters, I realized something.

Yeah I listen to Linkin Park and other “noisy” music, but when it comes to the Oldies, you just can’t beat them. I guess it’s also easier playing the guitar to oldies than to Linkin Park’s - Numb.

As such, I usually end up bathroom Karaoke-ing with my favourite oldies. There is a science in this though. I remember reading somewhere that the acoustics in bathrooms and toilets are really good. So go ahead and wake up the dead with your bathroom singing people.

It’s been a while since I’ve sung while playing the guitar. Just wish this incessant dry cough would stop, collaborate and listen. I’ve been coughing my lungs out and it’s giving me a headache plus sleepless nights. I’ll settle with humming Simon & Garfunkel’s - El Condor Pasa instead. So jiwangz mood.

Me am back

Helloooooo.

I’m back from my breakkie. It’s nice to have a rest after all that tense moments leading to the wedding night. I’m in the midst of compiling a list of feedback for the hotel. Seems like the food was good, but the service department could use a little fine tuning. Thanks for all the good wishes. The wife is building a site to host some stuff on the wedding and hopefully it will be up soon. I’ll post the link up here when it’s done.

So what does a person with one week to kill do? Nothing! That’s the best part ain’t it. Basically, we just lazed the whole day and ate when we were hungry and slept when we were sleepy. Reminds me why I wanted to be a professional beach bum so much. After countless hours catching up on TV series and mindless mind wanderings, I’ve come up with a list of dumb stuff.

1) How come CSI agents take hair samples without so much as a shower cap? What if their dandruff contaminates the evidence?

2) Who the hell writes the Desperate Housewives script? The person is a genius I tell ya! One of the reasons why I watch it in the first place.

3) Do evil spirits fear salt bullets or holy water more? Supernatural seems to have got me mixed up. The one thing I do know for sure, go with Silver if you are in doubt. Also, salt the bones and burm ‘em if you think they’re gonna end up as bad spirits.

4) Chinese serials should get better script writers for their endings. I hate a stupid ending, especially after sitting through 40 episodes. Makes me wanna bite someone, you know…

5) Brazil maybe a good vacation spot for reasons like the beach, booze and babes. But they also have syndicates, who harvest your organs. Ewwwww, gross!

6) If you ain’t cool, it’s coz you’re not SPARRTANNNN!!!!!

7) How cool is it, you get to work on screen with your dad? Will Smith is my hero in “The Pursuit of Happyness”. And before some readers crucify me for my spelling, it’s supposed to be spelt “happiness”.

8) Malaysia harbours the biggest, baddest pirates of them all! I don’t care what you say. Movie pirates, that is.  Muaahhahahaha.

Ok, now I’ve got that off my chest. It’s time to add a special token of thanks to my dear Eddy Han for being my wedding Master of Ceremony. Dude, I’m so gonna kick your arse for the stunts you pulled on stage man. RAWRRRRR. But still, thanks a lot for all your advice. Not forgetting June as well.

Also, I can’t forget me parents, who had countless sleepless nights and also my sistah!!! She was the floor manager for the day yeah. All your queries would have probably gone to her. Two thumbs and toes, UP!!!!
