The little bits and pieces that makes life alot easier to live.
It's fucking official. I want my mum dead and fucking away out of my sight. How dare she say whatever she did and think she is fucking right. I swear the moment I'm old enough to move out and live by myself. I'm gonna wipe my hands clean and make sure I have nothing else to do with my parents. And I swear I will overturn her fucking coffin at her funeral.
She hasn't seen me work, she doesn't know I put in effort. Why? Just because I don't do things in front of her doesn't mean I dont do it. Where the fuck is she when I'm doing these things then? Talking as though she knows whatever the fuck she is talking about. Fucking piece of shit.
I don't care if you read this and hate me like the previous incident. This is because you are in the bleeding wrong, and I don't care if you are my parent or not. You just talk about me as though I'm some kind of worthless piece of shit. You always say that I am not gonna follow through with the things I believe in. You always think that I cannot accomplish what I want to do. Fuck you and fuck this family. It's so fucking screwed up.

Good stuff has been happening recently. No, I'm not in a relationship and I don't think I will be for quite a while. It's just that things are looking up. So yeah, life is quite good.
Still broke. Wish something would help that part, but life isn't always so easy. Sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you don't. I'm not complaining, everyone always wishes for something more, no matter who you are, it's just human nature to always want.

Is this over before, before it ever began?
ROAROAROAROAROAR.
Baybeats if over. I'll just go through who I felt in my opinion were the top 5 acts for this year's Baybeats. Despite a lot of people saying that it was not that happening as compared to the previous years'. So here we go, top 5 Baybeats 2009 performances in no particular order.
1. Lunar Node. They totally caught me by surprise. The intense instrumentals and ear-gasmic effects is usually the norm from them but what got me was their last song, I literally was biting myself to calm myself down. They brought out an indian dude and that guy did a slow Bollywood kind of song to compliment their last song and it matches so well that it made what Lunar Node already have more intense. No doubt every song they do is shit intense and every one of their songs gave me the chills but the last song was the sickest cross-cultural mash-up that I have ever heard from a local band. Last time I felt this way was when I first came across the Yoshida Brothers.
2. Love Me Butch. Awesome, awesome,awesome. Guitar work is spectacular. Vocals are awesome. Saturday was my first time watching them and all I can say is woah. The build-ups in the song is great and when he reaches the peak. His scream was intense. Kudos to the dude who came up with that arrangement, top notch. Love Me Butch is the kind of band that you have to be at their live to understand and savour every drop of awesome they bring.
3. Great Spy Experiment. Don't know what happened, but their performance seemed have a lot more umph in it. Their new songs are great, don't know why they said they wanted to improve on it but knowng them, it would probably be more intense than what they performed on Friday.
4. The Ambassadors. The only good punk band at Baybeats this year, if not the only punk rock band. Catchy, dancy, I will admit, the only reason why I found them better than the others was the fact that Bai did a guitar swing in the middle of their song and what's more the guitar was running on a cable. Stage presence was astounding. Good punk band, dance dance, mosh mosh.
5. Anberlin. Of course, who could ever forget them. Watching them live beats owning every one of their albums. Couldn't find much flaws in all 3 of their performances. Watching them pretty much satisfies every essense of my being.
Anberlin said something that I will always remember them for, they said that sometimes when they wake up, they would never imagine themselves being where they are and that they will always be thankful for being given such an oppurtunity when there are a lot of other bands so much more talented and capable as compared to them and are not able to make it due to not being able to get such chances as they did. I mean for them to humble themselves to that level is what seperates a true musician from everyone else in my opinion.
For me I want to be known not as Shaun the bassist from Vessel, I want to be known for Accent's awesome ending or Calibri's verse 2, or Best Served Cold buildup, not that I came up with those parts, it was all a band effort, but I want Vessel to be remembered for those things and people to look at us that way.
I know this is unlikely to happen, but I am going to put this into my to do list before I can die happy. I am not sure if you all know about this, but this is the first time I am letting everyone know my actual goals in life.
Major Goals - To play at Glastonbury/ Reeds/ Leading/ Big Day Out - To play alongside Queens of The Stone Age - To play alongside Anberlin - Die young
Minor Goals - To play alongside Caracal - To play alongside The Fire Fight - To tour somewhere in the region - To get my bike license - Get a job and settle down if the Major Goals are not possible*
3 more days to our live at Cineliesure. Are you excited? I know I am, the sheer thought of playing without anything to hold me down like deadlines to meet and work to do just sends chills down my spine.
Since the school term is coming to an end, I was thinking of getting a job of some sort. Preferably in the food and beverage industry. Something like a coffee joint or subway. Sounds fun right? Someone join me! I probably would go for interviews next week or so.
Why is music awesome, give an example to justify your answer.
Ans: Music gets you free stuff.

As we are walking closer and closer to our deadlines. I'm starting to feel this strain. It's like trying to carry a lot of very oddly shaped objects with just two hands and trying to get from point A to B. I keep telling myself that the finish line is not that far and I just have to give that final push, somehow I can't seem to hear myself anymore.
Been listening to local bands for some new material to try out. So I checked out the new Caracal. New Caracal = Caracal-Chris+KC as vocals. The more I listen to bands like these, the more do I feel like my band is going to hit a wall at some point. I mean Caracal is seriously very talented, so much that it is scary. Bands like these should be on the ranks of Nine Inch Nails, Muse and the like but they are stuck in a country like this. I mean look at Electrico, after their years of success, they came up with a national day song like that. I just don't know what to say. Singapore isn't really the place to be now. Glastonbury just seems so, so far, it's like Valhalla, where only the most bravest of Vikings are able to go.
Anyway, check out band page for updates. Main point is that on the 15th of August 2009 at 7pm outside the Cathay Cineliesure, Vessel would be playing live. It's free unlike the previous one, so if you have the time pop by, say hi, say bye.
Oh and yet another band joins my favourites list. Meet Foals.
Oh and did you know? There is going to be a Cowboy Bebop live action movie sometime between next year and the year after. Rumours are Keanu Reeves is gonna play Spike. FUCK? SERIOUSLY? Fucking THE ONE? FUCKING NEO? Wants to play SPIKE? He is going to ruin it like that shittard of a movie Dragonball. Please no. No. No! NO! NO!! NO!!! If you are going to get anyone to play Spike, get someone more awesome than Keanu Reeves. Even Matt Damon would play a better role than Keanu Reeves.
