BAD NEWS, ENOUGH TO BLOW MY IMPLANTS OUT

While typing typing typing the music post, I got this piece of bad news from my friend.

"abkhsihas fiahd klhsh tnb avjhsdt awgdfjkbdfmbg erhierhvv"

In short, there was this profile on sgboy.com [don't even be tempted to go to it. IT IS NOT GAY FRIENDSTER] that bears the photo of ME ME ME ME ME!!!! Apparently stolen from my blog [the user profile one]

I AM SO UTTERLY FLATTERED that this TOTALLY GOOD-LOOKING gayguy actually THOUGHT that MY PICTURE would get him extra romps this coming weekend. HOW SWEET OF HIM/IT!!!!

So if you actually find it interesting, go to sgboy.com, create an account and search for dark_castles.

Anyway my lovely Vice-Captain and I created an account under the name of Iam Notasgayasyou [a Japanese!]. We emailed admin! So if you still want to see my photo proudly displayed on SGBOY.COM, go ahead and create an account!

ITS LIKE DAMN LIMITED TIME ONLY!!!! HOOOOOOOOOOO [wow i am excited]

Wah I am so excited I am turning gay. Watch hardgay! My new idol [for doing all these CIP stuff] It's safe stuff! Not something that dark_castles will star in!

And anyway, i shall take away photos of myself soon, and for this blog, it will be replaced by that of a butterfly! Pretty enough right? At least when next time someone steals my photo again it will be an aesthetically pleasing butterfly! hoooo~~~~~~~

Beatles-She's Leaving Home

Music And How It Just Grows On Me [and you]

My first exposure to music came in the form of cassette tapes with many little nursery rhymes.. I remember they even came in parts, like 1, 2 and 3. The one that left the deepest impression in my mind is "Itsy Bitsy Spider" if anyone remembers..

"Itsy bitsy spider, climbed up the watersprout."

That was when I was 6.

As I move along, the Walkman came into my life, and I became this cool little kid who goes out with Mum carrying a bag with his own Walkman playing cassette tapes of i-really-don'tknow-what-songs. cool sia

In primary school, I wasnt exposed to much music, cause I was busy burying myself in Bookworm Club story books [I bet you were too]

Then after I changed primary school, to lovely Ngee Ann, I was introduced to the likes of the hip songs then: Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys etc etc. That was when these groups were in their prime and everyone listened to them. The Walkman became the Discman, and that was when primary school kids begin patronising pirated CD stalls, which are in a sense at their prime [or perhaps it was because innocent kids like me know nuts about piracy to bother about the pirates?]

Primary 5 was the year when I was logged on to Perfect 10 & Power 98 every night. Without fail, to listen to Jean Danker read out dedications [way back when she was still doing Say It With Music] and thinking of how pretty she looked when she is in studio [oh yes my first celebrity crush]. I even went to the extent of writing letters in class so that i can add in the line "Hi Jean! I am writing this during lessons because it is very boring." to appear cooler in Jean Danker's eyes. Don't blame me blame my company. They are people who listens to S Club 7 and all the hip things, so Perfect 10 was a staple. So came the likes of pop stuff like *NSYNC, S CLUB 7, A1. Also came certain rock tracks like those of Santana [i cannot really remember what were the first few rock songs I listened to but I think Santana's Maria Maria was one of them, and I am proud of that!]

Chung Cheng High, and how could one not listen to Mandarin songs in that school? CCHSM made me know that Mandarin songs also have the same effect as their English counterparts. I fell madly in love with David Tao, Jay Chou, and many other artistes during sec 1 and sec 2 with Kong-Min being my main supplier of these songs. In upper sec, however, my interest died off due to the "Radio" function in my favourite phone Nokia 6510 [look, though it does not have like, 10Megapixels imaging capabilities, millions of colours or Bluetooth Redtooth, it is capable of the most basic functions of a phone, while in a sleek body, installed with the greatest application of all: a portable radio!]. I returned to my "angmoh" roots, with Perfect 10 & Power 98 outshining YES 933 & Dong Li 883. They played really sleek songs, and I am not ashamed to admit that I am taken over by the storm created by the likes of tottally cool genres of music playing in the grey realms of hip-hop/R&B/rap. It was never before heard anywhere except by this new wave of artistes like Missy Elliott and Kanye West. I mean, who would have thought that the sitar would eventually earn its rights to be heard on mainstream radio in the 21st century?

While taken over by music like these, i discovered a radio station doing its job silently. FM 99.5. It was first known as Passion 99.5, then Lush 99.5, but is now gone for good. This was the station where I discovered JAZZ [and its variety of a million]. The rest, is history.

Slowly and steadily, it was apparent that music began taking up its big fat space in my life, and now, with 2005 heralding the desktop and the internet, I am introduced to many different genres of music [16.73 GB worth to be exact]. Who would have known that I would be exposed to country music [go Dixie Chicks! Ashley Monroe!], folk [Damien Rice, Michelle Featherstone], and many other lesser known genres of music like quiet storm, gospel, and trip hop?!

Beautiful stuff music are made of.

I Love My Eyes With All Of My Spleen


Goh Chun Kiat --

[noun]:

A person who laughs at anything (even this entry)



'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com


Hello to whoever made this little "personality from your name" thing above. Apparently you are somehow acquainted to me, right? Right?

Was talking to my beautiful glamourous "i-slept-during-maths-lecture" vice-captain and she told me all about that strange dream she had recently. Which led me to recall my recurrent dream of being stuck in a dimension where the only light source is the glowing green grid on the floor. the freakiest part of this is that everytime I have this dream, I am either sick or falling sick. The worse part, it usually ends with me seeing a humanoid figure being balanced on a pole by his/her eye. say yuck.

DON"T COME BACK!

My left eye has been drier than usual these days. EYES! I love you both with all of my spleen!
