Fly On Sweet Angel - I'll Be Back

The past weekend i've had, prolly could have been a fun one for me in quite sometime.Its exam fever this time around and everybody's busy eating and shitting books and notes.As for me, I've been taking it lightly and just started today...i dont wanna get shit grades afterall.After all the stuffs over the weekend.

On Saturday, it was Co-curiculum Day in school. So I went to help out the band play a few songs...like refreshment for the audieces la, really simple stuffs. After that went to Mcd with Chia Haw, Ed and Matt, had lunch.like normal Mcd days...ahh. and while lunching, Yik Sean invited me to go Gurney for some hanging out.So i decided to play along...since its been ages since i stepped into gurney.

Man, its hell of a good Gurney day actually.i went to Towers and guess what, they were blasting AC/DC when i got in there. And even shittier, Natalie the shopkeeper who branded Guns N' Roses punk rock was like tapping feet and lightly banging head to AC/DC's For Those About To Rock(We Salute You). Ahh....she has come a long way indeed.And there's a plasma widescreen showing an AC/DC concert on blu ray.Angus Young took of his pants when i was watching. = ]
Man...I seriously love Tower records that day, dont wanna get out la. it felt just so great with the hi-fi blasting!Thank you, Natalie.

After that went to the music shop and guess what i saw in the vault of guitars...




Its Joe Satriani's Ibanez JS20S Silver Surfer Limited Edition! man...this babe cost around 4 or 5K.Wooh....i've never seen a JS in local stores.gonna try it one day...too bad its in the vault.i really hope the people there are nice enough to let me try. And damnit they placed it right beside a JEM Jr...uhh..increases rocker libido..

Caught a chinese movie too, Painted Skin. nice storylines...almost made me cry.lots of romance ...always trust your partner.T.T

And and and and the thrill of the day. Got a new pair of piercings. one side each on the ears...yeah, got to experience the thrill of it again.It hurts more this time actually. so i'm already on the next level....planned for 3 on each side actually.heh
That was Saturday.

Sunday happened so quickly.I ended up procrastinating the whole day instead of studying. music and guitar being the attention seekers again.but i love it...how can you help it when you open up a book, and then the guitar pickups are like staring you on the face.ahh... so thats about it. gonna return after the finals.I'll be back again, blacker on me.Time to whip some education ass...keep on rockin'.

Out Of The Sunrise

Without realising, this is already my fourth consecutive post with song title thieveries.gonna be the last...ciplaking ain't no fun.The others are :
Tuesday's Gone
Endless Rain
Afterlife

Thank you Lynyrd Skynyrd, X-Japan and Avenged Sevenfold for such inspirational song titles that struck me at the correct time. And yet this is another one, Out Of The Sunrise by Joe Satriani.This post is meant to be read with the accompaniment of this song that I've put in File Factory on the sidebar.So load and let it fly...

This is actually track 7 of Satch's latest album Professor Satchafunkilus And The Musterion Of Rock. Bought it with Janicia for Jared as a farewell gift... and now three months on, it landed in my room for some reasons heh.No, I ain't buruk siku.Jared did a bit of write up on this and his farewell.its now three months on and stuffs has quite changed hmmm, nostalgic and melancholy.Anyway Satchafunkilus is a superb guitar record with quite a few tracks highlighting Satch's signature 'fat' humbucker tone which I love very much and i guess some bigger sound due to the new Satchurator distortion such as in I Just Wanna Rock.every guitar music lovers surely would love to have this album. i'm gonna get one for myself too!! My highest ratings are for

Track 5 - Revelations
Track 6 - Come On Baby
Track 7 - Out Of The Sunrise
















Professor Satchafunkilus And The Musterion Of Rock


okay coming back. i have dreamt and lately put myself in this play about the moods of Out Of The Sunrise. Me driving the Vios on a highway alone without much or nil traffic getting away from the island. it will be around 5, 6, or 7 a.m., the break of dawn with the song playing in the car. driving at 60 to 80 km/h with the first beams of sunlight breaking behind me as i cruise on...ahh.
Can you picture yourself in such a situation? i would really feel.... reborn. Like leaving a life and get on into another....I have always felt like that a lot of times in my life and I'm sure there are more to come.I do felt it during SPM last time, when i stay on up late to burn the midnight candle...sometimes you would just think of staying till sunrise. when another cycle of life kicks in again.
And yet, in this stage of life, I'm feeling it all over again.



Car on the highway.break of dawn. loneliness. cruising speed. out of the sunrise...


Hopefully i'll experience it one day...bringing my imagination to life.


Today has also been a good one for me i guess. Its a tuesday.Tuesdays are always beautiful...and right now tuesday's almost gone again...its 11.18 p.m. Spent half of today in school, not much really...ppl are catching up for the finals, and i guess i'm in it also. after school i did stay back for jazz but it seems delayed. so i hang around and talked to Danial.Talk about Steve Vai, G3 , guitarists, guitars, music and techniques...i'm just so glad that there are still people who knows and appreciate guitar instrumentals in Penang.Keep On Rockin' In The Free World, guys!!

after that, went home and get short nap before i go for a walk in Botanical Gardens.Out Of The Sunrise kept playing in my mind all the way...but its sunset actually, i guess it felt the same way.walked a big uphill round and a small round took almost an hour.saw a bunch of monkeys almost gangbang a dog which barked at one of them.tried to scope around also....but nothing really as its quite late already and the sky seems to hold up clouds of endless rain like the other day.hmm.seeing life and going through it by yourself really gives you a total different point of view.this can be another part of my soul search...seeing yourself by yourself.maybe I''ll become Buddha.maybe Jesus for real.never know...
after that I went to Subaidah for some mamak.i'm reliving the past again but this time i'm alone....aih.got two thosai and a teh o ais. no Mr.Lim Guan Eng this time around also.i always anticipate when i go there.as i finish up my food, the endless rain that was held up just now starts to shed some of its sky tears.went home in the drizzling rain.i'm on a bike, raining at night and without specs. i must be god to arrive home safely.

That almost sums up the whole of today.A shiok sendiri tuesday.yeah


~I'm coming out of the sunrise on a tuesday~

I love you.
