Haven been posting much recently. I guess I'm falling into the symptoms of depression and cabin fever. Knowing I need to snap out of it and move on, but I'm just stuck here, huddling in a fetal position.
The struggle against normalcy bais. The victim of procrastination. And the knowledge of upcoming festive gatherings isn't really helping.
If I could drink and get drunk now, I would.
I guess I'm really turning into the seldom seen kid.
Gunther ft Sunshine Girls: Ding Dong Song / Teeny Weeny String Bikini / Sun Trip.
Nothing like a little Gunther to perk up the week! Admit it, that has gotta be the sexiest mustache-duck-face ever!
Ooo~ You touched my tralala - my ding ding dong
Ooo-la-la~ Ching-ching-cha~
O-la-O-la~ La-ga-ga-ga-ga~
PS: Gotta say, I think if Nick ever went for the mustache look, this would be it! Lol'ed!
As the saying goes, no matter what you do, there's always an Asian who can do it better.
Edit:
Okay the previous posting didn't give this act full justice. Appears that the above video is only the later part of their act. Here's a longer video detailing the action before the TaeKwonDo moves. Appears that they were not only shuffling to LMFAO but also moonwalking to MJ!

Going considerably viral, the official MTV for this enchanting track. Really a unique MTV, reminding me of something OK Go would do, like their toast MTV for "Last Leaf"
and finally a peep at intense time consuming process behind it all. One word - Woah!
Thanks Nick for the share!

So if you haven heard of Linsey Stirling, she is a 25 year old violinist from the states, and she really reminds me of a female David Garrett, in that she is really into her music, shuffles/struts/dances her way through it, and both take violins beyond classical genres.
Really love this collaboration she did. Shuffling with a violin is just awesome!
And she does take it one step further with theatrical performance too!
"... Can anybody hear me?
Am I talking to myself?
My mind is running empty,
In this search for someone else,
Who doesn't look right through me.
It's all just static in my head.
Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite?
Cause tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut,
Sending SOS from this tiny box.
And I lost all signal when I lifted off.
Now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot.
Can I please come down, cause I'm tired of drifting round and round
Can I please come down?... "

Personally, I think this is the only great thing about the upcoming Twilight movie. Musically, it doesn't tug at my heartstrings as much as Jar of Hearts, but the cinematography used throughout just sends chills down my spine. And no, I am totally not referring to the Twilight snippets, could have well done away with those imho.
Was strolling along Orchard Road today, when I heard this melodious tune at the Junction of Cineleisure and H&M. Gotta say, it is my first time seeing or hearing a dulcimer, and I'm mesmerized by the notes it produces. As Daniel puts it, it is very much like those tavern BGMs in RPGs.
Speaking with Ivan, I learnt that it was a native American instrument. Looks-wise, it is a cross between a zither and a ukelele, and its neck was thin enough for a capo to be used.
Apologies on the first video, I was so absorbed into it all, that I only noticed later that my finger was in the way... and video quality is a tad down due to smudging.. and it only halfway as I was listening to him, and decided dang, this is too good not to be recorded. The second video, on the other hand, is a complete song. Enjoy!
It also appears that he performed live earlier at the Esplanade Concourse for free, so you might have caught him there.
" The Appalachian Dulcimer is an instrument native to the south-east region of the United States surrounding the Appalachian Mountains (Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia). This sweet sounding plucked instrument has a history of about 200 years and is most commonly heard in bluegrass and old-time music, also known as mountain music.
Ivan Ng, 19, is self-taught on the Appalachian dulcimer. With humble beginnings busking at Read Bridge, Ivan has since made appearances in Sentosa’s Lights of Spring and National Day Celebration together with Dulcet Project & MIG respectively. Apart from exploring the American folk tunes, Ivan also has great interest in trying out other genres of music on his instrument. "

What do you think, is the worst part of living? Disability? Cancer? A broken heart? Loss of a love one?
To me, the worst possible thing in life, is none of the above. Sure, the end is crushing, The knowledge that something is definite and can never be changed is devastating. But with each end, comes a beginning, a hope, a means of coping.
No.
The worst part of living,
is waiting for that end.
The sheer weight with waiting. The growing void of nothingness. The anticipation of the worst possible outcome. The replaying of options that could have made a difference. The torturous self-doubting. The uncertainty of when it will all end. The inability to control it all. The helplessness to affect it. The incapacity to move on. Paralysed, emotionally and physically. The lonely detachment from the world, that only those like you who were waiting too would understand. The eventual sense of loss in everything - track of time, grip on reality, hold on sanity. Yes, this unbearable agony when a swift death is denied. Indeed, it is life's sickest of torments.
And yet, we are guilty of it.
Possibly everyday.
To the people we love the most.
Yes.
The worst thing you could do to anyone, is to ignore them, deny them an answer, and leave them waiting.
The worst thing is you could give anyone,
is absolutely nothing.
1000th post.
Big thanks to all who have been here throughout the years and listened to my rambles =P... yes, I do know that at times the content is a tad random and all, but yeah that's who I am =3
1000th post... I guess it also hints of a tinge of maturity. Well, a resolution that I'm making as of this post onwards would be to change my blogging style. I will still contain my rambling thoughts and all. But without the smileys and all. Hopefully, this will aid me in my professional writings in the years to come!
So yes, come 36 hours, I will be taking the GRE examinations. I guess this is where reality sets in, and my cynicism steps in. It does seem to appear that even with tons of hard work and dedication, there is will always be an unbridgeable chasm that separates prodigies and true brilliance from the pack.
PS: To those who know me - I know it has never been the habit on this blog, but you know, I do enjoy it when I read the comments left by you guys/girls. So yeah, do leave some in the future, either by the post or the chatbox. Yes, I do check for them! ^^x
