S.A.D

















Interesting..

there's a day, invented by the westeners, once a year, to remind themselves to say words of love to whoever they are falling for..i guess they need reminding that they have something to say to their spouses or teman, something other than

"is food ready?"
or
"whats for dinner?"
or the ususal
"hunny......im hungry.."

Some see it as a day to be sweet and sugar coated for a day...for me, i think its marketing strategy..really, if not when else can shops profit from all those heart shaped chocolates that no one seems to buy, or the huge amount of soft toys that seems to just be sitting there in their window..yes, i think its a marketing strategy wrapped around peoples feelings..


someone should invent a day like what i head on radio this morning
Single Awareness Day....acronym being...S.A.D...(-_-")
14th celebrates Non-singles, so what the heck, make 15th a day for us singles to have fun too!!!

Wear a black tie no that day or samting if ure a single guy looking..
for the girls wear a red bow or samting on their dress that day..

when these people go out for a stroll and see fellow S.A.D celebrator, they be thinking
"yep, im not alone today...i have my fellow S.A.D's with me.."
im thinking, it might even reduce the number of suicide cases..who knows?;p

Thank God this year, this year V-day is during a weekday..i remember a couple years back when it fell on a weekend..
jam like crazy...everywhere anywhere leading to a shopping mall..
1 hour bus ride from Putra Bangsar station to MV..wth..i think i can walk there faster..
so that was the first and the last i'll ever go out on such days......probably..

anywys, while newly weds and the likes are having reasons to buy stuff for their partners, i find it just a reason to get my creative juices flowing make something here....

aww, aint that nice...

have a nice day..

Telling the blacksmith to bake a cake because he works with an oven

The boss is away, the person in charge after is also away...memandangkan deadline is getting too close for comfort, kerja-kerja semua di'tugaskan' to me..someone who can barely tell the difference from end to end..

incompetent?...

no.....more like inexperienced..and unqualified.....yet....

I can tell you the destination, but not how to get there..basically...





"How do u plan to pasang the dingdong to the watchamachallit when the *toot toot* is 12vDC while the *#*!)0384 is at 4 amps and 240VAC?"


(0_o)?

"..............., sumbat jer"

Its Lucille

I was lazy to hassle around with photoshop in the afternoon, was sleepy like heck..so here are a few that went through, the rest would inevitably rest in my private collection..maybe for future editing..;p





































all were taken at the following settings

Camera : A200/18-70mm kit lens
Focal length : 60mm
F number : F/36
Exposure time : 1/25
ISO : 100
Metering mode: Pattern
Exposure mode: Manual

all were ran thru photoshop for quick color mods..

and btw

deciding whether to continue with my flickr...its not as versatile as blogspot the way i see it..here i can write and put pictures all in one place, and its way more easier to organize...but its not as picture frenly in in terms of arrangement as flickr..

choices oh choices, why do u plague me...*sigh*...

___________________________________________________________________

saw my guitar was starting to collect dust..poor thing, din have much of a chance to play her (yes, its a she, and it has a name..;p)..with work and Eton popping up between us, it seems we've become distant (aww, sappy2 mushy2..;p)....so i took it up and decided i would learn a song before the day is out..

thinking punye thinking, i settled on a song by James Morrison, The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore..beautiful song, for those of you who havent heard it..please do..and thanks to the person who introduced me to this song..its now the song i sing in the shower!!!!

it needed a capo on the first fret, but i played it without since my voice couldnt hit that high note anywys, and playing without it seemed to suit my smexy voice better..hahahaha

and so i was, singing away in my room..my browser on youtube with a video by Kokokaina on pause..have u heard her sing btw?

*drool*

anywys, for those who want the chords for the James Morrison song, and too damn lazy to search for it on the net, here it is, ill save u the trouble and paste it here.

James Morrison

The Pieces Don't Fit Anymore
Album: Undiscovered
Transcribed by Soch Hean

Capo 1st Fret

Verse:
C
I've been twisting and turning
Am
In a space that's too small
C. Am
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
F C
You've been closing me in, closing the space in my heart
Am F C
Watching us fading and watching it all fall apart

Chorus:
F Dm Am C
Well I can't explain why it's not enough, 'cause I gave it all to you
F Dm
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me now
Am C
It's the better thing to do
F
It's time to surrender
Dm
It's been to long pretending
Am
There's no use in trying
C F Dm C
When the pieces dont fit anymore, pieces dont fit here anymore

Verse 2:

C
You pulled me under
Am
I had to give in
C
Such a beautiful myth
Am
Thats breaking my skin
F
Well I'll hide all the bruises
C
I'll hide all the damage thats done
Am F C
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone

[Chorus]

Bridge:
G E
Ooh don't misunderstand
Am
How I feel
D
Cause I've tried, yes I've tried
F E
But still I don't know why, no I don't know why

I don't know why...... whyyyyyyyy!


[Chorus]


and in case ur wondering...

NO, its raining in the afternoons not because of my awful singing....;p
