i stumbled across this musical revelation as we drove back from malacca today! celtic music was being played in the car.
my musically prodigal friends would probably know this already (:
so it goes like this. celtic music usually has this eternal pedal bass note. and the snare drum with its warlike beats in marching tempo are prevalent in most celtic pieces.
celtic motifs are unusually happy despite the monotonous cadences, and celtic melodies dance with different chord voicings very well.
add them all together, and i realise this one most important thing.
celtic music resembles the warrior's single-minded intent(rhythm and harmony/bass) amidst a flurry of other happy tribal concerns eg. love. the occasional girl's voice is almost always lovelorn and mournful(loss of the warrior?), but the music never deviates from this warrior's stubborn attitude.
haha well if it doesnt sound cool now.. i thought it did!
and when you begin to see the ramifications...eg. the music's influence on their people's psychology, mindsets, paradigms.
you realise how important it is
AND it isnt the end. we are STILL drawn to this musical attitude now prevalent in modern music. really.
fall-to-floor dance beats, repeating 'angry' motifs are very common in today's top music.
perhaps the only thing that was lost was the single-chord cadence...?
haha okay sounds like gibberish sigh. so unprofessional too

alphawezen! ambient electronic schwebcore pop :P
two more weeks! there's melancholy in me, i am weak.
but then again, i suppose i'll feel better once i really book in. (:
life's been like that for me these days. i dread something and wait in terror only to have it pass eventlessly
most times i feel better doing it than dreading it. but i can't help myself.
companionship, camaraderie, community. whatever you call it. it really helps (:

&edit : jeremy COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS! and stop complaining haha
i really really.. don;t know what i'm doing.
when i got both airforce and DSTA i was happy..then DSTA promised overseas but AirForce did not so i made a quick decision to withdraw..
Airforce would have saved me one year, i'd have gone off for studies by this time next year had i stayed on. i quit, and now my life's a mess!
what is so appealing about overseas uni anyway? i cannot reconcile my decision with my thoughts and emotions now. i want to save one year!
and knowing that i could have gained that one year hurts the most. yeah sure it could have been a tough fight to get an overseas study award from the airforce..but i should have tried!
whatever.
pleaseplease help me :(

i've been meaning to blog for months =D but as usual never got around to doing it.
lotsa VERYY memorable stuff has happened. our month-long europe tour, BMT, and OCS..
but they still feel so fresh in my mind that i don't feel a need to blog about them :P
so instead i shall blog about this singer i heard in my uncle's car while he was sending us home from lunch!
AND my little cousin sis(4 years old!) was SINGING along with the music HAHA so i went home and looked for the singer.
and here she is: http://www.haoting.com/musiclist/ht_16e0
陈绮贞 hmm i like her style she's almost anime-like! and emo yet nonchalent =D
okay back to camp.

ALEVEL's are over (:
on hindsight it feels like i have been complacent/overconfident for these papers, which turned out to be actually quite tough. past experience tells me that feeling good after a paper reflects low expectations for myself. but it's all over, and things actually FEEL different (:
time to enjoy life =D and while i'm at it, fix my hair, face, physique, music, and applications

CELEBRATION!
MOMMY STARTS WORKING
no actually there wasn't a celebration. it was all very surreal 'cos i came home to locked doors, realising i had forgotten to bring keys, and had to wait for half an hour outside the door. lucky my little sis came back early. haha.
and while i was mugging for GP gonggong came, and cooked us all a fine curry fish head dinner haha. but dinner was very quiet, and i started to get this feeling that we should be having a celebration for mommy but oops planned nothing :P
she comes home late from now on anyways. dinners will be me and sis's. or no me and just sis's =D
good luck (for GP) to anyone who's reading this before the paper. doubt anyone would (:

No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
Stop This Train - John Mayer
=D good day. at the end of a good day one feels emo,
and we sing this song out loud
if there's anything more beautiful(and funny) than imagining you singing this song, i don't know what it is(yet)

lousiest feeling of the year :
suddenly realizing that so many other people are better than me at so many other things
and realizing that i have been behaving so immaturely it makes me wonder at my own EQ
and having no choice but to attribute all my previous success to luck
=D

i feel mildly spiritual today haha
and easily amused. it was shiyu's birthday and we celebrated it with such stoneness that it felt kind of pleasant.
and my eyes were completely held in place today, wonder if she noticed.
okay so i want a job like the ones at Google..
would those exist in singapore?
roger and kahhou totally owned us at using microsoft word's functions today.
oh well it's what they do best i suppose.
seems like everyone in class has their own niches
i think i have the most useless one haha
