What if I were a....

Slumbering - Who the heck... - Stop staring at me - Give me a break! - Whatever...
STUPID HUMAN!!!

I know 2 guys who love squirrels
1. Chern Hwei's HMI friend whose expression similar to Justin - Jules Buckley who always wants to feed a squirrel and got bitten on his thumb.

2. Myspace mate, Jason, an electronic freak who calls himself a red squirrel .


I often look at squirrels outside my balcony lately when I have writer block. I would be happy to live as a squirrel. Eat sleep play sex and sometimes having some stupid humans trying to get attention from them...

Who cares which one is the masterpiece god had created - Adam or Eve.
And who cares who the hell looking at me - Hor or Whore, Ho or Hole...

At least, be an occasional squirrel flashing in our crazy life... like what I am slumbbering around now.
pretty cool huh?

What a Quote!

God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

But who cares huh?

Working In Vain

Working on James' album now.... the lyrics is haunting me!!
Hopefully the music will be elaborate and of haunting beauty when it's done.
But now, IT IS haunting me.



This is the Chorus.... (can't show all maa)
Everytime I try to do the arrangement, the WHOLE song is beating shit out of me, and I gotta overcome the emotion.
Especially after the lyrics was modified last week, I can't do shit!!!

Sorry James, Sorry for waiting. I promise this will be a good one.

This is the most struggling proccess in my 10-year composing experience. I can't concentrate everytime I look at the lyrics.
RUDI (the lyricist), I hate you!!!

Anyway, I am doing it now. After numerous times of restart, redo, smashing my computer keyboard. Damn, I spent 35 USD to buy a new MAC keyboard. Stupid Say Bak Guai, 死白鬼 (coz the typing keyboard is in white) so fragile!!!!

Talking about 死白鬼, (the direct translation means f***king white trash), is actually a rock band in San francisco. Cool fellas!!! check them out.

Also, 死白鬼 implies someone :D
A motherfucking jerk... who stole Crayon's oboe. Aiya... that oboe's sound is cracking, even he didn't grab it from you, you would dump it, no? and you DID dump it! Go get another one lo.... I thought there is a SHENYANG-made violin is not bad. Or the american-made aged guitar is worth to try what. it's alright if it's not new, not crunchy... but it's seasoned, easy to handle. LOL

New work, must listen

I produced 2 tracks for Chern Hwei's newly formed string duo, Evil Twin. I think he talked about the recording session on his violinuts blog



YEAH, a pretty chick Chern Hwei took when I drove them back from a violin maker shop in Ventura. After peeping the chick, I started recording their OPUS!!! ... about that shop, F***ing FAR.!!! Everytime he is here. I can't do anything.

Both of them really did some good shit!!! The 2 marvelous babies (2 tracks - GET IT and CRYSTAL SILENCE) have sprogged, with an additional MD track making the chick wet! Yeah !!! :D
WHY??
Both of them, Chern Hwei and Jeremy (I think he looks like popeye, doesn't he?) used pickup mic. God damn dry, sound like electric string. The MD recorded the natural acoustic of 2 mothers (instruments - Cello and violin) and some room ambience. I didn't use much effect, only a little reverb for both pickup mics. The trick is the MD - I dragged the MD track a demi, mili seconds delay... YEAH baby, the MD track made the mixdown so wet and natural and... Chicks gotta get wet listening to it!!!

Shit, what is Ray Pizzi's quote? " I don't care what scales and modes you play in a ballade, as long as you make the chick wet"
HAHA

I will definitely talk about this more. Let me get all my shit done first. FUCK , I am SCREWED!!!!

writing about myself... moving on

Party animal sometimes, love drinking, basketball regularly, "working" in front of computer, often rushing deadlines (Cantonese - Yao Ak Lik)! But most of time... slumbering around :D

I'm a typical Sagittarius, and a perceptive person. Music and Love is very much about my life. "I work for music, I live for love" HAHA.. What a dumb quote! I can be very sluggish when I have something not settled (Cantonese - Mei Gai Quik), or when I am stuck in certain cases. I am a DOS when I am working - monofuctional ! especially when composing or dealing with sound.

Working as freelanced composer, orchestrator in LA. Finding my way in this crazy dreamland. Finding a new life here, a new me, a very different one from days back in KL. I am having my single life now, 1st time in past 10 years... it seems like I'm running away from a stable life now. I'm a runaway principal of a music institute in Malaysia, I ran away from an established career... I call myself a runaway shoehorn... coz my high school bandmates called me shoehorn.

I am moving on. Will start writing often here as before the breakup in March. Cheshire, you are out of my world. No shit.
