Behind The Scenes: The Incredible Hulk

I'm still not impressed leh... Check this out.

FUBAR... part 9

My gums are receding and bleeding a lot these days.

When I brushed my teeth, they bleed. When I sit here typing this blog post, they muthafucken bleed. This happened to Roy last year. His dentist told him to carry on brushing his teeth and gums hard. After a while, it will stop. Apparently, it's a combination of drinking, smoking, lack of sleep and stress. I'm not sure about the last bit though. Then again, we were quite panicky over the B-Quartet launch. Hmm...

Fucken hell, it's been going on for almost 2 months anyway. My mouth tastes like raw cockles every once in 2 hours when the gums start bleeding.

Fuck!

Laptop

Anyone has any suggestions on what I should be getting? The budget is around $1,600 - 1,800. My specs required is at least 2GB RAM and a processing speed of close to 2GB. I've an external hard disk of 500MB so storage is not an issue. So is weight.

No Macs please. For obvious reasons...

I've been looking around for one. Have not placed my bet on one yet. I'm trying to turn this baby into for purely doing music... okay, and the occasional late night DVDs. My hands are damn itchy now... As in really itchy!!!

The Making Of Flight Of Transcendence

I love it when they (Zero Sequence) are so over-the-top! I didn't know Reuel could moonwalk... The scene is hilarious!

Most of us were talking to blank air while recording the documentary. It showcases their thoughts about the album and Weiyuan acting all serious in it. Hahaha...

The album is already out in all good record stores (Gramophone, Sembawang Music Centre, EarShot, etc.). I'm sure that more stores will retail the album within the next 2 weeks.

Abba - Dancing Queeen

Abba rocks. Period.

Boston Dynamics Big Dog

Koff Koff sent me this video. In my mind, while I was watching this, I kept thinking "Fuck! The days of the Terminator is upon us soon!!!"

Meat Loaf - I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

Nat and I were talking on MSN about dubious music tastes. Then it popped into my mind that I used to be a huge Mariah Carey and Meat Loaf fan when I was a wee 15 year old lad. Y'know, the pre-grunge days. Yeah, I was a late bloomer.

The only thing worse than Meat Loaf's music videos is his song titles. Hilarious stuff!

I'd like to take this opportunity to dedicate this song to my music-loving friends: Edwin, Billy, Weiyuan, Yeeyong, Benita, Grace, Nat, Keishi, Bryan, Hui Hsien, Pamela, Alvin, Terence, etc. If I've left you out, sorry... I still love you like Meat Loaf does. Remember: "Stay kewl and fun-kay always!!!"

Susanna And The Magical Orchestra - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Found this on Fuzz's blog.

IF/ Life Without Dreams

Fuzz's band IF has a track up on their MySpace page. Quite classic Brit-rock stuff.

His other act with DIA's Daniel, Life Without Dreams has a new track up on their MySpace page as well.

Hearing your friends play music makes me itch to get that new laptop ASAP!!! We are currently scheduling peeps to come in to do the Humpback Oak and Plainsunset covers for The Lard Brothers. Hopefully, that shit gets done soon... cuz we are still dragging our asses for The Love Experiment stuff. No one really gives a shit but hey, they are all vanity projects anyway...

Mekuri Master

Nat sent me this link to a Flash-based game to play if I were bored at work. Thanks, sweetheart, for thinking of me, especially for this kinda not-safe-for-work kinda games! -_-"

How not to make bread...

Got it from Kinho. Hilarious!

You love us!!!

We have revamped our Aging Youth website yet again! Check it out here! This revamp came about as we are changing our focus this year to concentrate on the indie music label arm. Wooooo, I love the use of the word 'arm'. Makes us sound bigger than we actually are. Hehehe...

Do let us know how we can improve on the site and give me some reasons so that I can 'goreng' Weiyuan's ass about it! Ha!

Support a good cause...

My pal, Graham, father of one, has developed an unnatural love for hiking over the past 3 years. He's taking up this cause to raise money.

The four of us friends will be embarking on a challenging 100km mountain trail race from 16-18 May 2008 in Japan.

The objective of this challenge is to "race" fund for the OXFAM charity which is "...an independent development and relief agency that works in around 100 countries....in partnership with local organizations to help people living in extreme poverty and to achieve lasting change, lifting people out of poverty."

For more information, check out this site.

Waffletown

Brian found where the old Waffletown restaurant which used to be at Bukit Timah Plaza/ Shopping Centre (I can't tell them apart...) is now currently. He wrote a nice review about it here. It made me hungry looking at 'em photos...

His band Leeson rocks as well. Check them out here.

I is My Bloody Valentine...

what Creation Records band are you? (complete with text and images)

You Are...My Bloody Valentine.You tend to be a bit distant and reclusive. You are a leader as opposed to being a follower. You are a perfectionist and pay very close attention to detail. You have the tendency to be lazy, which sometimes get's in the way of you achieving whatever it is you may be trying to perfect. You don't really care about what's typically looked upon as the norm. You really don't care about what people think about you at all, or at least so you try and make it seem. You care most about just being yourself.

Got this quiz off Nat's blog. Cute. Well, I guess as much... when I answered the first 2 questions which I picked red as the most distinct colours and picked dreams over waves and shine as the most interesting word.

Well, check out the following album cover.



Yeah. Read the drama here.

Though I must say I'm not that huge a fan unlike Grace, Amin and some of the Documentary In Amber boys who are flying up to catch their reunion show in Spain this June...

Singapore Bay Run/ Army Half-Marathon

I think Billy and Jay-S should be keen on this. Who else would be interested?

Personally, I don't think I can complete a half-marathon. I might just go for a 10km run. Gotta start training soon.

Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal

Caught this video a few days ago. It's amazing how this became a game on its own. Played it a couple of times before...

DJ KoFlow

He's probably one of the most talented musicians I know and have the good fortune to work with. Check out his tunes in the player above and here. He rocks my socks off with his turntablism...
