Today I Woke To The Rain Of Blood

Woke up late today,couldn't make it for college except for the last class,Chemistry practical.So I asked my friend Low to fetch me to the college for that one miserable last class on 2pm.Ain't sure what the hell is wrong with me.But I'm certainly living up to my promises.So chéL,here's the song I promised you..Today I Woke To The Rain Of Blood,perfectly done by Combichrist.

Combichrist was formed in 2003 by Norwegian Andy LaPlegua (founder of the band Icon of Coil) as an aggrotech project.They are more to hard technos,powernoises.No,not black metal,although their looks are more to the gothic side.Search for their images on Yahoo! or Google & ya'll know why.Try this song by Combichrist,see if it suits you (although I doubt it).Heh.

Auto Rock

Skipped Chemistry class at 8 today..Hahahah..what's the point in going for an hour's class before having the whole day free..Went Tbun at 10.40am & waited for John,Koh & Vincent to join me to wait for our friend Low.Apparently,he is hving class till 1pm,so we'll have to wait for him before going for lunch.Had lunch at Pavilion's food court,nasi lemak..Not bad,but a little bit too hot..It's kinda weird to see 5 bachelors wandering around in the complex,making up jokes & laughing out loud to ourselves,but I admit we had our time..John & Low decided to have a haircut,so we went back to Section 2.I decided to go home first,so the 3 of them stayed there at the salon.




Cover of Mogwai's album,Mr.Beast.

Mogwai is a Scottish instrumental band originating from Glasgow,United Kingdom.Their songs are often made soundtracks by movie producers,such as We're No Here,which was used in CSI:Miami & Miami Vice.They compose lengthy instrumental guitar-based pieces in the post-rock tradition, usually focused around the elaboration of a single theme, and are known traditionally for dynamic contrast, melodic bass riffs, and their use of guitar distortion and effects.Personally love their songs,some of them are actually quite relaxing.Here's Auto Rock by Mogwai.

Story

I hate my new course timetable.

The timetable was alright before the Mathematics A. tutorial was brought forward to Tuesday permanently.I can only go back at 3 after the last class,which basically sucks.I skipped the last class anyway,& got the hell out of the college at 12pm.To where?My second home,Tbun..hahaha..Stayed there for like 3 hours before I went 'yum cha' with my friends at the mamak restaurant next door.Went & did photocopies for Chemistry notes as well,before going to a friend's house to pick up a letter,a mysterious letter,to pass to my 'lou yau' Chan.Damn right..Looks like love letter to me & it is tempting me to take a peek at it,but..Oh well,somehow honesty took over me.Hahahahahah..Forget it Devil!! I'm not gonna do this!!

Still not in the mood for technos yet,so for all the techno lovers out there..I'm so sorry to disappoint you..& to make it up with you guys for that,I'll intro ya'll to another Japanese band..Oh yeaaaahhh...Malice Mizer..




Malice Mizer in their Au Revoir costumes (from left to right: Yu~ki, Mana, Gackt, Közi and Kami).

I know,I know..They look like those typical gothic black metal bands..But nope,this is what we call Art Rock,or Visual Kei,in japanese..I'm somehow captivated by their songs,especially those sang by Gackt.It's sad that they decided to go their own ways after Gackt left the band in 1999.Their drummer,Kami,died of subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding into the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain) in his sleep in June 1999.


I love this band very,very much..& I have the complete collection of all their songs in my iPod..There is also some history between me & Janice about this band; we both loved their songs..She bought me the album Merveilles,consisting of a CD & DVD,all the way from Japan..Still keeping it till now,for it is the most precious thing that she ever gave me..Listening to Malice's songs brings back memories,sweet memories that I had with her..But it's all over now,& everything remains a Story..So here's Story by Malice Mizer & Gackt.Enjoy.

My Girlfriend

Was shocked with the news that my mom brought home yesterday;my dad's car burst into flames while they were coming back from Temerloh.Apparently,the mechanic that did the overhauling to my dad's car did not connect the wires & the exhaust system correctly.As a result,a short-circuit happened,the wires started to melt & the exhaust blew off,causing a small but rapid burn that eventually turned into a big fire burning the engine compartment.Wouldn't know if my dad will have to buy a new car for that,but that certainly is gonna cost him a lot.

Went meeting my friends at the LRT station today,Joey wanted to go Cosmopoint College to check out the courses available there.3 credits for culinary course?Isn't that a bit too much? We went KLCC after that,& ate nasi lemak at the food court before watching Redline,again.Yes,you heard me right,AGAIN..Well,that girl is hot,so I don't mind watching the 2nd time.Hahahah..Just kidding.Joey said he wanted to watch it,so me & John accompanied him for that movie.A 2nd time for Redline wasn't that bad,I watched Kung Fu Dunk 3 times in a week.


Anyway,decided to take a break from techno songs & remixes,so here's an english song by a South Korean band;My Girlfriend,by Tohoshinki.Yeah,JPops,KPops..My alternative beside technos..Enjoy this song here,check back for updates everyday.

For An Angel

A fine Sunday,slept my way through the afternoon..Never felt as good as this before..Haha..Gotta finish some assignments soon,tho.Hectic,my exams coming soon after my holidays on March 8.Anyway,gotta intro ya'll to Paul Van Dyk.Born Matthias Paul,Dec 16,1971 in Eisenhuttenstadt,Bradenburg,East Germany,he is one of the most famous trance music DJ & producer.

Well,the next song here,For An Angel,is one of his most popular song,remixed in 1995.Do enjoy the song.

Fable

Nothing much today,except that I went to college to complete some unfinished business at the office..haha..Had lunch with 2 of my friends,then we went to Ampang Point..Was looking for some medical-related books at Popular,& I saw a book on brain & human mind.It's a very informative book,& I was particularly attracted to 1 of the topics : Head Transplant & History. About how a Soviet-era doctor experimented,by transplanting a head from a living monkey to another decapitated monkey,& it was a success.Interesting. I really wanted to buy that book,but I wasn't having enough money with me.With disappointment,I finally left that book back to it's place before paying for an exam-pad & 2 ballpens.Sigh.Anyway,here's Fable,by Robert Miles.



A nice piece of dream-house work used in many remixes.Fiorella Quinn is the vocalist of this intrumental song,recorded in '93 or '94.It is a truly remarkable one from the dream-house producer Robert Miles.If anyone wants his song,contact or leave me a message.I'll be glad to send it to you.Enjoy.

Redline & Vantage Point

Class finished at 12pm today,so very mou liu,nothing else to do,went for movies at Pavilion.Redline was fantastic,especially with the hot gals,especially that Nadia Bjorlin that took the role of Natasha in the movie..HOT!! haha..Wish I'd had a girl like that,which most likely will come true only in my dreams..heh..Anyway,exactly like what stated on the poster,a movie with hot girls & hotter cars,drivers that fears nothing & risks everything..The movie was fine,it's fun to watch a million-dollar car crash into some junks by the road or by the driver's stupidity.I fell in love with the actress!! Oh my god..haha..here's a pic of her;

Hot enough?Haha..Yeap..I'd give the movie 4 stars out of a 5-star-rating.Those who love fast cars should certainly watch this movie..


Next in line,Vantage Point..I know it sounds crazy that I watched 2 shows in a day,but I've got plenty of time to kill & there's nothing else I could think of doing.Redline at 2pm,Vantage Point at 4.35pm..



Well what do I have to say about Vantage Point?First,it's about a conference held at Spain where the PotUS was assasinated.In case if you're going to watch this movie,PotUS stands for President of the United States.Of coz..the President that got shot was an impostor,because the US Secret Service was smart enough to replace the President with an impostor,or kambing korban.LoLBut the terrorists were geniuses,they got one step ahead of the US S.Service & kidnapped the real PotUS.The storyline is interesting,but I would not suggest to those that lack patience to watch this movie because it keeps rewinding back to square one,right before the PotUS reach the anti-terrorism conference,for about 4 - 5 times.And each time the scenes were rewinded,the storyline & the culprits became more & more obvious.The storyline progresses throughout the movie everytime it was rewinded.Quite a nice movie,will also give it 4 stars for the interesting storyline,but irritating rewinding technique that the producer used for the movie had let me down.I would have given it 4.5 stars,but 4 stars is just right for this movie.

Anyway,a song will be uploaded soon.It is called In Mood of Insanity,a private cut & mix.Do comment on it.

The Beginning of a Whole New Chapter of Life

Recently,things aren't going my way.I'm now a near-80kgs chunk that finds it hard to maintain the current body shape..Nah that's not the point..Well,had been through many unhappy occasions lately..Grandpa passed away on the same night I broke up with my girl..Yeap,I was dumped,& I wasn't told why..I'm kinda confused & no doubt,very very sad..On that rainy night in Singapore,engulfed by the sadness,in total despair of losing 2 of the most important persons in my life,I broke down & couldn't possibly stop my tears from flowing.I spent the whole night trying to figure out why does this happen to me.The next morning,I was headed for KL before going back to my hometown in Perak for my grandfather's funeral.Left SG 9am in the morning,reached home at about 3 in the afternoon & started packing clothes to rush back to Perak.My parents were already there,so I will be going Perak alone by express bus.That day is probably the worst day in my life.A few hours ride in the bus was pure torture,especially when I'm in a after-breakup situation.

Enough of that.Now I'm back,facing a whole new chapter of life.I will resume practising my interest in remixing songs,& if there are any new songs,I'll post it up right here in this blog.Perhaps once in a while I will also introduce some bands,techno producers & their works here,so check back always for updates.If there's something on your mind that you will like to tell or suggest to me,please leave it in form of comments,or simply in the CBoX.

And,Janice..If you happen to be reading this..true from the bottom of my heart..I love you..I'm still trying to find out the reason why you left me all alone facing this cruel life..Please accept my apology if there is anything wrong I did that hurt your feelings..Nothing will make me much more happier than to have you back by my side..

Welcome to MX Lair,Where nothing else matters but Music & Love..
