well Vk quit lah...
i've no idea exactly why.
he said its because his parents dont like him coming home late so much.
but i think its because he cant take the work.
maybe its too stressful for him.
maybe its too tiring for him.
no idea.

anyway, was at salvation army the other day to pick up some furniture for the house.
they were playing gold 90.5.
i stopped to listen because they were playing journey.
strangely enough, i enjoyed the other songs.
premature aging i guess.

and after work tml boss brought us to ceejay's at east coast for dinner. he blanja lah.
i nv even knew there was 1 there, but it looks great.
and so after dinner there was some restaurant next to it with a 2 person acoustic set.
were playing some rather cool songs.
tears in heaven,
have you ever seen the rain.
requested and got stairway to heaven lah.
singer's voice was good, but his diction wasnt.

so... yeah.
conclusive proof that i'm ahead of my time i guess?

Have you ever seen the rain- Creedence Clearwater Revival

Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm,
I know. its been comin' for some time
When its over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day,
I know. shinin' down like water.

i'm kinda at home at last.
i took leave off today.
half a day.
it sucks, because less work today means double work tml.
especially since the painting isnt done yet.
and the floor's still fucked up.
needs washing, THEN varnishing.
apparently varnish works the same as lacquer.
it cant be done in humidity.
with the weather nowadays we're kinda stuck.

so it kinda is shit that i took leave.
was supposed to go out and celebrate fabian's birthday.
but apparently shit hit the fan,
so if any1 who knows about this and is reading this, SCREW YOU MOTHERFUCKS.
now i've got to do tons of shit tml.
hopefully vk is productive today.

oh ok.
who am i kidding.
no supervision.
nobody watching him to correct his mistakes.
i'll probably have to go around touching up after him tml.

my blog's kinda become too personal now.
it wasnt the original idea.
thats boring, i know.
i'll stop it soon.
its just that work's hard and i need somewhere to vent.

it doesnt matter.
at least im being... rather productive here.
i'd rather be a hobo than a bum, in a way.

oh yeah.
OI OI OI!
(yes, i fucking love Oi. or at least the non racialist Oi Bands.)

We're coming back!- Cock Sparrer

Don't get worried, don't get scared
We're fighting to get there
Never doubt we're gonna get through
We're gonna run, we're gonna crawl
Kick down every wall
It won't be long
We're coming back to you

and so i got this "job" as an art assistant.
not really a job.
kinda like a 2nd attachment.
or maybe slave labour.
doesnt matter tho.
if it means tickets to watch motley crue.
and a bit of experience.

i hate working with VK.
he has a very... poor attitude towards our working conditions.
he shies away from manual labour as much as possible and from working extended hours.
i don't really enjoy working with him.
i enjoy meeting the various workmen and asking them about their jobs tho.

thats all i've been doing.
not very happy, tbh.

maybe i'll blog more when i'm free.
it isnt often tho.
i work everyday, usually 9-8 or something similar.
i wish i wasnt so lonely here.
or i had light earphones so i could listen to my ipod comfortably while i work.

Alt Lys Svunnet Hen- Dimmu Borgir

Alt har svartnet
Alt lys er svunnet hen

i'm now listening to this taiwanese black metal band called chthonic.
i like how they pair harsh vocals and guitars (like used by most traditional BM bands)
with thin, traditional chinese vocals.
you know when there's horror movies and this ghost gal has her long hair over her face it and starts combing it while singing in this high, thin voice?
thats the voice.
and that was a long sentence, eh?

yeah so anyway, they also use the erhu and keyboards.
their music's very... layered.
very rich in texture.
not unlike a bar of fruit and nut chocolate.
or maybe a gigantic, hard, rough shit that refuses to come out.

but anyway, cthtonic. (no, i've no idea how to pronounce it. i think its ss-tonic or summat.)
i stole their album free off radio heatwave.
(seriously, they were dumping in in long term storage. i doubt they even played it once, seeing that it was released in 2005.)
so far i say that this album's being put to good use in my possession.
more so than in theirs anyway.

anyway, jumping topic to heatwave.
i think its kinda fucked up that they receive so much music, including from independent artistes.
yet they dont play it.
the artistes kinda expect them to promote a bit (at least) in exchange for the album...
so at least respect them and give it 1 or 2 plays.
no, i'm not stabbing in the dark.
some stuff i stole was still wrapped.
