The Story So Far...

is that I've been appointed Publication(s?) Director with the Communications and New Media Department. Later today I'm going back to campus to help out in the Open House preview for the prospective students of NUS. And to add my spliced video clips of Akira into the presentation. Satisfaction guaranteed, the narrator for our presentation even bleeds! Going to look for the blood later after the meeting if any.

"Sometimes the funniest thing in life is where we walk around in circles when the problem lies outside of it, and we find out after trying to change the workspace into squares, triangles, rectangles (or spheres, cylinders and prisms for the engineers, snigger)." Damon on trying to fix a computer by changing the IDE cables and formatting the hard disks, only to find out after months of diagnosis that the power cables were the culprit that caused disruption of power to the hard disks.

Speaking of which, I ran into with Kang Rui the future Environment Engineer today and had dinner with him. Such a happy go lucky person, despite having screwed his first semester, he reminds me of those crazy days in AHS where we flipped tables to humour each other.

Then it was off to recce the ground for COMEX with baby and sister and Ron. List of items for successful retail therapy:

1. DVD writer. It's about time and the price is right. As low as $75 from BenQ.

2. 108MBps wireless router. $69. Speed is overkill but I suspect our wireless network is going nuts. Don't trust Creative products other than sound cards.

3. SATA Hard Disk to enable faster data transfer, mainly for system files. Or 10k RPM one. This one is in low priority.

Useless fact of the day: a metropolis is defined as a city with a population of more than 2 million people. So that makes Singapore a bi-metropolis!

Good night world!

Stepping out the comfort zone

My my we're going places! Though we didn't manage to meet the bassist yesterday in time for him to join us in the session today, i'm thrilled, i'm sure all of us are, at our accomplishment today.

The covers part went stale, seriously, with most of us playing it halfheartedly. Maybe it's been a year and we still had nothing to call our own. But not anymore!

I'm appreciative of the support the guys gave in trying to make this first original composition of mine work. Pretty Indie, psychedelic in fact! But it's ok, despite their initial protest that it sounded rather retro and 70's, it need not be on our album. B-sides come in really handy when fans are hungry and some may relish the idea of some other stuff we'd done. That's when we can pack a whole lot of them B-sides that never made it to our disc. But we're a long way from there. It's just the start of something beautiful.

The second major event since the inception of Frostbled, the first being drummer Rick's sister designing our insignia on a T-shirt. Now, we move out the comfort zone. High time too. Thrilled that this post has preceded that of a review of Brokeback Mountain. That was quite a moving film with an equally moving soundtrack that I bought it at the Sembawang Music Centre where we watched the movie: Cathay Cineleisure. More coming up!
