oh man the vocalist/lead guitar luke pritchard is like a double treat in one. curly brown hair AND british accent :D like finding out there are both peach and strawberry slices in your custard fruit tart. heh. the only down-side is that he kinda looks like austin powers if you squint. not to mention he’s kinda… chubby now. hahaha
aw man his accent is real sexy :))
edit: hahaha omg the picture they froze for the vid looks mighty scary. but truth me it’s just a live of them performing naive. it’s like one of my favourite songs since ages ago

here’s to 40 years since woodstock ‘69: possibly one of my most favourite songs ever in the world, Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. love the intro to bits and pieces! i wish i could invent a time machine just to go back to those three days and be a hippie for the weekend. and can you imagine? these people are probably the age of our parents. darn! what would i give to see hendrix live (my ib grades? hm…. PASS)
love peace and music sans the hating people. and of course no lsd, cuz drugs are bad for you
edit: and i just realised something! if hollywood is ever gonna make a jimi hendrix biopic, they MUST get will smith to act as him because they are just dead ringers for each other. especially from 00:38-00:45 seconds. it’s freakish, there are like doppelgangers

… to make me resort to eating ice-cream.
well it was between the slightly inappropriate sniveling, sappy tone of the above mentioned song or the even more inappropriate gratuitous rockabilly vibes and i decided on the latter just because!
this is like, my favourite movie now. haha it’s trashy, is a parody of Grease and it has an elvis-impersonating johnny depp in it! what more could one ask?
and i guess on the topic of syf: as cry baby would say-
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell one for all and all for one
and all we wanna is to have some fun
we had fun, we worked hard, we gained memories and a new experience, that’s all that matters right? i guess what matter’s that we pick up the pieces and move on?
aaaaand there’s nothing a vanilla popsicle coated with dark chocolate won’t solve. (granted it gives you a tummyache, like what i have now, urgh)

yakshemash. my name is bao cheng. my hobbies are dance like bboy and shop with my eyes. haha ok i’ll stop laming. as you can tell i’ve been watching some borat (on youtube, which is practically my homepage; but more on that another time) – he’s a really funny bugger. haha did you know that the expression of surprise “wawawewa” (that pam so oftenly uses, although the joke is lost on her) comes from his movie. anyway i think that there are many similiarities between borat and a typical acs boy. for example, they both crack jew jokes, they are both dirty-minded, both like to wrestle randomly, both like to disco dance and play pingpong etc. etc. weeeeell actually after comparison that’s not very similiar. but what do i know i’m just a china girl zzzzzz. anyway i should totally make my own version of borat and film a movie with the name of the title of this post. vary naice. i think it will sell millions butttttttttt i think my mother will probably disown me for sullying the namesakes of the great motherland.
school’s been not so intense recently, probably because i’m missing so many lessons because of… guitarrrr! (say that like in i believe in a thing called love) i swear i don’t understand anything/cannot absorb anything in class anymore because i just don’t understand ANYTHING the teacher(s) is saying!!! it’s like her mouth will be moving and she speaking in english but when it enters my head it all sounds like greek or martian or something. like cannot register one.
hopefully i’ll stop slacking soon and revise during the weekend. anyway speaking of slacking the chinese a2 ib exams are in 2 bleddy weeks! ahhhhh!! and i think we’re going through the prelim papers this week but because of syf practice i’ve been missing chinese a lot so i’m not sure!! omg siewmoy is SO gonna kill me. and omgomgomg my EE!!! (what ee, you mean that thing she returned me 2 months ago??) i just remembered it. wawawewa. okay here i go rambling on again.
anyway the point of this post is to talk about guitar syf(even thought the title and everything doesn’t seem like it). it’s pretty intense recently; my fingers hurt a lot, and i think gwh might be a little wishful thinking for us. not to curse our syf or anything but i really hope that one-week-chiong-everything ac spirit will help us this time. but it’s okay. at least we have the sexy bass solo for subaru to make things better. haha we blue ocean man, no other school will have a sexy harmonic solo on bass guitar. but shhhh you didn’t hear that from me! ;) and a little bird just told me there’s practice until 8pm tomorrow!! wth man, that’s so not cool. i’m starting to tire of the syf pieces… kinda. oh yeah and we got the syf costume today. let’s just say that my dreams of performing a musical intrument on stage in a floor length black toga gown with rose embellishments and a mermaid train are dashed. and that the girls totally blend in cos the suit makes us look like butches. no seriously we are wearing a bleddy suit, like those weather reportmen!! :( :( :(
sigh. wishful thinking indeed. bc you gotta get your head out there man, it’s like, a totally bottomless endless pit if you’re to fall into that well again. it’ll sap all the energy out of your brain and wring your concentration dry. sid and nancy my foot.
i’m back after 3 days of yls and 3 days of guitar camp! so that’ s like 6 days of all fun no work man, haha. and syf’s in 5 weeks, i just realised, like a day after the chinese a2 exams, omg. there’s no time.
guitar camp ‘09 was:
playing whacko with a cup of water
random people pouring water over random people
slacking around
blisters from playing guitar
listening to random jamming
taking showers at night, fending off npcc people
attempting to do work at night but ended up watching suju concert dvds
finally eating bigbreakfast in the morning
cardiac arrest!!
eating pizza on astroturf
mass guitar stringing for 1.5 hours
running around school making sure the night games were ok
sleeping at 2
getting your measurements taken while a roomful of guys were watching (lol)
small groups out-of-tune fail
pep talks
spending a fortune on cabfare :((
gonna start work soon. my throat is burning after i woke up from a nap just now. go away flu i haven’t even started on any work (math port ahhhhh).
