"Life is at best bittersweet."

Bittersweet indeed.

In all absurdity

Wtf, how does that work?

Just my little something (This is not a poem)

Oh, my dear be not proud;

for thou art weak; though i am not strong

i guarantee, you will not last long

for if you do,

i will kill you

not in the flesh, where the spirit is strong


but in this soul, not to linger on

mark these words, for i will keep

oh, this vengeance that i so seek.

life issues his spiteful decree

taking over; let it be

(God damn it, just shoot me.)

People.

I'd say that i wish we'd stop escaping from this and face it head on, cause i've come to a point where i'm (pretty) certain i'm not the only one that's disturbed by our ridiculous predicament. But of course, who am i expect from anyone at all, what i haven't got the guts to do myself?

Of course, i could live with this.

This is probably the 101th time i've thought about quitting worship ministry. I want to leave the ignite band. Now.

A New Era Of Corruption

<sup>Whitechapel's new album came out sometime last week. Hearing it the first time, it just blew me away, but i thought i'd give it even more time to sink in before if commented on it. I must say, i'm not disappoint at all. Whitechapel are definitely one of a kind. They give the deathcore scene a good name. In the midst of a sea of bands rushing to hop on the deathcore bandwagon, these guys are one of the few bands with substance in a scene plagued by mediocre, generic acts. The critics do not disagree with me.

On the musical side, these guys have definitely matured as songwriters. This album sees them relying alot less on breakdowns to create memorable songs, and instead composing more complete songs, in a sense. Breakdowns are still their strongest point, in my opinion, and this album still has no lack of them. Every whitechapel song has always had one section that you can't help but start headbanging to, or at least nodding your head if you're in public. And more often than not, it's the breakdown. Yeah, breakdowns are often put down as crap the that deathcore bands write when they can't compose better stuff, but this inexperienced sixteen year old begs to differ. Used appropriately, and composed well enough, these brutally down-tuned, chugging rhythmic passages that are the target of criticism of every metal head elitist out there actually serve an actually purpose; In the case of whitechapel, that is to crush your soul to the bowels of hell. That's right, they are that heavy. That's what you get from three 7 strings down tuned to drop A and a vocalist that sounds like satan. However, i just don't think it's possible for the human ear to hear a bass tuned in drop A.



Solos have never been whitechapels strong point, but the few solos that are present in this album are definitely an improvement over the boring solos in This Is Exile. 

Well, whitechapels rhythm section is what really caught me. The drumming is interesting, but not complicated to the point that you begin to feel the guy is just trying to show off. The dude definitely has skills, and is probably one of the better drummers in the scene. It's good to hear how he doesn't rely that much on blast beats too. Everything in moderation, i like. The double bass is not overly triggered nor overly spammed, and it serves it's purpose well, i guess. The triplet-feeling palm muted slaughter + double bass intro to "reprogrammed to hate" just blows me away.

Sure, the album sounds over produced, but if that contributes to the overall heaviness yet clarity of the sound, why not? It's not like they use autotune.

Lyrically, well, i'll let wikipedia speak for me.</sup>

"The concepts and lyrical themes of A New Era of Corruption travel into new boundaries and details where previous Whitechapel albums did not. With The Somatic Defilement being a narrative of Jack the Ripper and This Is Exile being politically and religion-based, A New Era of Corruption is the first Whitechapel release that is not a concept album. It generally focuses on negative themes, for example the song "Devolver" is written within the concept of the devolution in society and how it has crafted "violent and hateful" individuals, while the song "Breeding Violence" was written about the increasing corruption in society during the post-9/11 times, and the song "Murder Sermon" is written about the death of vocalist, Phillip Bozeman's mother."

 I like a band that actually writes about something. 

I shall end my little "review" here, due to my lack of ability to find words to express myself. My words do not do this album justice.

A little piece of heaven

This is what it could've would've been.

Ironic isn't it, how the days seem to fly by?

LOL 2(Y)

Joe and John were identical twins. Joe owned an old dilapidated boat and kept pretty much to himself. One day he rented out his boat to a group of out-of-staters who sank it. Joe spent all day trying to salvage as much stuff as he could and was out of touch all that day and most of the evening.
Unbeknownst to him, his brother John's wife died suddenly. When he got back on shore he went into town to pick up a few things at the grocery.
A kind old neighbor woman mistook him for John and said: "I'm so sorry for your loss. You must feel terrible."
Joe, thinking she was talking about his boat said: "Hell no! Fact is I'm sort of glad to be rid of her. She was a rotten old thing from the beginning. Her bottom was all shriveled up and she smelled like old dead fish. She was always holding water.
She had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front too. Every time I used her, her hole got bigger and she leaked like crazy.
I guess what finally finished her off was when I rented her to those four guys looking for a good time. I warned them that she wasn't very good and smelled bad. But they wanted her anyway. The darn fools tried to get in her all at one time and she split right up the middle!"
The old woman fainted.

People = shit

"All i ever wanted was to be with you. But time restricts us to be together. So all i can wish for is that you always be mine."

Everywhere i go, people are posting stuff like this on facebook. I find it quite sickening. Cheesy much? I never understood lovesick people, do you? Guess i never will though.

I'm sick of thinking and searching so much, and when i think i've finally got it all figured out, something, somewhere, somehow proves me otherwise. 


And so i realised that i'm already trapped. That i have been for such a (relatively) long time already. That there's really nothing i can do; it's like a vicious cycle, of sorts. That i'm just going to be bounced around back and forth, and there's really nothing that can stop this. 


And then, i realised. That this realisation doesn't make a difference. I've been living with this for so long anyway. 

And so life goes on.

Do i fit the description? Poster boy for your artificial religion. Never. 

This is my indictment of the system. Of a society plagued by moral decay. 


Humanity should be burning in hell. 


This little boy sure harbors alot of hatred for his own race.

Letter

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER! :) :) :) :) :)

Let us play a guessing game.

I feel as though i'm living off assumptions.

Holy shit

I'm getting mind f-ed.

Though maybe, just maybe, this time i'd actually be able to gather my thoughts and come to a conclusion. Knowing myself, though, i'd never be able to keep to my decisions

Chat logs (Y)

Fix me

Call me creepy, but i really love reading old chat logs. To look back at stuff i said and wonder what the heck was going through my mind.

Not to mention the fact that it really is quite entertaining, it's interesting to look back and realise how much people change. Even though the fact that my com got reformatted means i only have logs from last december on, it's amazing how people can change so much in such a short period of time, not to mention myself. It's shocking, and quite disappointing actually.

But it's not just that. I guess reading chat logs actually reveals to me more about myself, than anyone else. It's like looking at myself from another person's viewpoint, and realizing just how much i don't know about myself. Not that it's a good thing; all i see in myself are flaws. But that's a flaw in itself, isn't it? Not being able to look at the good side of things.

But then again, i never really look deep enough.

My dear, how about the ocean?

 I've never been a fan of taking pictures of people.

Class chalet was pretty good i guess, even though it kept raining/drizzling on and off and that messed up alot of the plans, still had lots of fun nonetheless. That also meant that it was really, really cooling throughout the whole thing.

Had macs 3 times for lunch, supper and breakfast. Hate that place.

I WANT THIS NOW :( Can't wait for end of year.

Something about this post feels inadequate. Oh well 

Oh, june

Finally went to repair my POD. And changed my ibanez's bridge too :D FINALLY.  

Sister's 21st bday party was tonight! At coffee club in raffles place haha. Then meet junhao for supper at central.

Yep.

Too much

No more, please. I don't wanna do this anymore.

Bittersweet

This holiday, i'm going back in time.

Funny how as days, weeks, months go by, i realize that i've been unintentionally proving myself wrong over and over and over again. Slowly i begin to realize how stubborn and close minded i've actually been all this while.

I really have no idea what this will bring me, but this is not what i want. I want back. I've always wanted back, even though there have been times now when everything seems worth it, that has never really been the case. After all, you can't yearn for something if you don't know what it's like, how "good" it is, right? Much less if you don't even know it existed. That's what it's been; i guess ignorance really is bliss.

If i could just drop everything i have now, and go back. When i didn't know any of this. Cause when you're getting more what you had previously just isn't enough.

But i guess i could make do with this, no? One day the storm will clear.

One day.

Picture post (ilovenature)

From the previous desaru trip earlier this year. I really love the last picture. I love snapping nature pics. People just don't cut it. I think i took nicer pictures this trip though. I'll see when i get the pictures from sis :)

This is why seletar reservoir is always gonna be one of my favourite places to go to. I TOOK EVERYTHING MYSELF. I'm so proud of myself looks like a postcard don't it? :D

SQUIGGLY. Which is now in another persons house, hopefully being treated better.

My failed attempt at capturing one mornings crazy red golden volcanic sky from dad's car. Well it turned out a different kind of nice heh.

How do you get this cool warping effect? (No photo editing stuff used) I'M NOT TELLING YOU. Has something to do with retarded shaking.

(Y)

Self explanatory.

Taken in the recent desaru trip, went to the beach just to sit and enjoy the breeze at night. This needs to be extra large. I'm so proud of my Sony Ericsson C902 CybershotTM phone.

COMEON YOU KNOW YOU WANNA PRAISE MY PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLZ.
