Silent Hill...

have you ever watched the movie?
unfortunately, its a completely different experience from playing the game
the other day i just got my hands on the latest installation of this franchise; silent hill: homecoming
a lot more horror compared to the previous 4 silent hill games
i heard it had quite an interesting story line and
there's a 101 ways of killing the monsters around you
speaking of monsters, they resemble to that of the movie
remember the skimpily dressed nurses wielding super sharp scalpels with no faces?
yeap, they are back XD
giant spiders with 4 legs that can act as blades and they got a faceless head too
and finally some crawling creature that looks weird at every angle you look at it...
at least, these are the monsters i've met so far
well..these abominations are taken out using melee weapons most of the time cause bullets in the game are a privilege you cannot afford to waste if you wanna have an easier time with the bosses
i miss the days in silent hill 2 or 3 when there was so much ammunition lying around
..no problem with just getting the shotgun and blowing the monsters' heads off their bodies
honestly, even after so many years of playing this kinda games..
this one scares the crap outta me the most...much more than f.e.a.r 2 and the fatal frame series
i remember playing the first silent when i was just a P4 kid
and i was so scared of sleeping when bedtime came *smack forehead*
the crazy imagination of those hands grabbing you in the dark or seeing one of those monsters at your window
my mom would always ask me, "you funny ar, play this kind of games to scare yourself" XD
speaking of which, i never had any female gamer friends who played this game at all
i dunno, ladies is it the gore or the horror that scares you? =P

anyway, enough about that all that
its so difficult at times
i dunno the words to say
or the things to do in order to bridge the gap
God gimme the wisdom and strength

A Belated Birthday Post....

first of all, a super duper mega ultra big thank you to all my brothers and church homies for the celebration and the presents
its one of the best i've had yet
i'm 20!!!!
it might be good or bad depending on the way you look at it...
of course looking from cindy and christina's one...it would prolly mean the latter XD
looking at my younger cousins and zubin's brother grow up, i myself am starting to feel old man

and thank you to zu and kenneth for accompanying me to go get me ''new wife'' XD
i'm still currently thinking of a name for her so dont be puzzled when i start asking you for your favourite female names
if you're still clueless, its a guitar
yeah, thinking of all my favourite guitarists and when i held my first one in my own hands...
it kinda felt a little unreal
and the road to their level's not gonna be as easy as i thought after i saw how kenneth tried out the guitars today..
oh i forgot to mention, kenneth's an old time friend of mine when we met back in primary school...
P1 i remember, we were in the same class till P4 then we ended in the same school in secondary school
but not the same class...until sec 3 and sec 4 then we ended up going to the same poly
that guy bought his first electric guitar at P4 and has been playing since (now he has 4 guitars, including acoustic ones too i think)
during our sec school days, he was called the guitar god among us
any problems you have with your guitars, acoustic or electric...he's the man to go to

anyway he asked me who was my favourite guitarist so i decided to might as well do a post on it
yeah man, the one who really inspired me was uh....lets see
Carlos Santana
this dude is old man but he's one of the best in the business
he started out when he was a teenager too i think and went through the hippy age
the good ol' crazy days when drugs were an everyday thing and alcohol was cheap like water XD
this was how he looked like in his 20s i think
most people say his best songs were 'europa' (a full instrumental track) and 'smooth' ( a collarboration with rob thomas)
but i still think 'i'm feeling you' (a collarboration with michelle branch) and 'into the night' (yet another collarboration with chad kroeger) are the best, you should see the mv on youtube
they are my favourite tracks too, never fails to make me smile...for whatever reason
anyway me do hope to play like him one day =)

well thats all i've got, thanks again homies!!! =D

Absou-friggin'-lutely

i just got back from watching DMC which stands for Detroit Metal City with the guys
if you guessed it had something to do with music, you got it
its a japanese film about a guy chasing his dreams to be musician
like any japanese film or anime, there's a lot of exaggeration in the plots
but its more of comedy so its alright :)
we were laughing so hard at almost every part of the movie
there are some parts that are vulgar to some extent
but i'd still recommend it to anyone who has time on their hands
alright next movies up, handsome suit and fast and furious 4 (oh yeah!!! finally!)

good news!!
my mom's sponsoring my new guitar for a birthday present!!!
like i told josh, no worries
this time its a real guitar, not the one from guitar hero XD
(speaking of guitar hero,
the guys are comin over on wed to play the guitar hero:metallica i just got today
i just hope no hell breaks loose with 5-7 people jammin on one single guitar in a room
heck, i hope nothing breaks at all)
but i still gotta pay for the amp myself *smack forehead*
its been a week since i applied for that job at IRAS but i still havent got any replies...
i need a financial breakthrough GOD!!!!!

and malcolm if you're reading,
about what we were talking about
yesh yesh i know you're concerned,
or maybe just plain kpo (which i hope not :P)
anyway, i do appreciate the concern
i will tell you as soon as i have one in mind
as for now, things have been a little crazy around me
and like i told you its no big deal
i talked to cindy about it so you can go ask her if you really really cannot tahan like what you said XD

strap up and get ready to ride the lighting this saturday homies!!!

and while she looks so sad in photographs, i absolutely love her when she smiles =D
