First Impressions

People see the house I live in and they immediately think that I'm a rich kid who can get anything I want if I ask.

People look at me and immediately think I'm a nerd who just studies 24/7.

Nobody looks at me and thinks that I can sing.

Nobody looks at me and thinks that I can drink.

Nobody looks at me and thinks that I can play the piano and, to some extent, the guitar.

And there are worse first impressions that I've managed to shake off in recent years. But still it frustrates me when people judge me based on what they see on the outside.

When you get to know me, you'll find out that I'm more than just how I look.

Short One

Well, I've been listening back to the recording and I honestly think it's crap. I guess it won't be going up on Youtube any time soon. I'll be rerecording it and I'll make it better.

To be honest, I've been feeling a little down lately. Like I can't do anything right. But then, life isn't going to be smooth sailing all the way, especially at this stage. I guess I just got to work harder and always remember why I'm doing what I do.

Dreaming

Hey. Finally finalised the Singapore trip with classmates. Met up at Sunway Pyramid, so I dropped by Guitar Collection to buy a capo. I guess I'll be working with my dad this hols, since I'm just too lazy to do anything. I dropped a few emails to a couple of companies but no response still.

Anyway, my demo recording has been delayed a bit because of a sore throat. Although I've recovered but my voice still sounds a bit gravelly. In any case, I'll be uploading the audio for my song to Youtube within the next few days, so look out for it. But there's a bit of a problem. For some reason, when I use Movie Maker, there's no sound for the video. Weird. I'll try to sort out the problem and upload the audio. It will include super awesome artwork made by my friend. So excited.

Oh, and I had a super cool dream last night. I only remember some parts but it was so awesome. I dreamt that I was on this adventure thingy with Aragorn and Faramir (don't ask, I'm baffled too). I had this sword and magic powers (LOL!). So, we were like going through this tunnel place where only one person could pass at a time, so we were walking in a single file. Then suddenly, something happened, boom boom boom, then Aragorn was gone and Faramir was leading. Fast forward to no idea when, Faramir, some weird seer lady and me were at a table eating. Then the lady got a vision and then Saruman somehow took control of her and I had to stop it using some hocus-pocus, then I woke up. Super childish dream, but it was awesome while it lasted. Haha. At least it's better than the dreams I use to have with the Xenomorph or T-Rex chasing me. I wonder why my dreams are so childish? But they're awesome and they don't need to make sense.

My holidays have been basically a waste so far. Hopefully it'll become more productive as time goes on. Till next time. Bye. ;)

Done

I can't believe that it's finally over. It feels so good now that the prolonged suffering has ended. Now that A Levels has finally ended for me. I now have about 3 months (give or take a few weeks) of free time. So, I decided that this break will be used as a chance for me to do things that I've always wanted to do and also to do up some things that I need to before going off to the UK.

I've planned out a few things and I think I might be trying to bite off more than I can chew but who knows till I try? Anyway, I already have quite a number of things that I need to finish off this week itself, like:

  1. Write a resume.
  2. Apply for internships.
  3. Research on banks and phone network providers in the UK. (Forced on unexpectedly by Mum.)
  4. Take my 1119 cert from school.
  5. Finalise class trip.
  6. Get ready for PROM!!
  7. Record the second track for my demo (if possible).
Sounds like a bit. And that's not all. That's just for this week. Here's my to-do list for the rest of month:
  1. Finish demo.
  2. Compile every single song I've ever written into a book and make a soft copy of every song.
  3. Volunteer at a dog shelter? (maybe)
  4. TB test for UK visa.
  5. Renew passport.
  6. Change IC.
  7. Finish watching Game of Thrones and the first season of The Walking Dead.
And here's the rest:
  1. Internship/Temporary job.
  2. Learn to play barre chords on the guitar.
That's quite a number of things. Hopefully I can finish everything. Cheers to no studying for 3 months.
