Lately i'm having a lot of "themed" dreams. hahaha~~~you must be asking what the heck is that. Well, the reason i said it was themed is because it seems that everynight i get up from bed somewhere 2-3am everytime, breaking sweat and feeling thirsty, i realised i've been dreaming again. Not the same dream everynight like in the movies tho'..it would've been so cool, innit?!! I don't know why i was always dating someone in my dreams. Lately i dreamed that i was dating with Nanako Matsushima!!! (damn, that lucky Sorimachi Takashi!) The other day was some other random people and even some i can't name it here. Am i in a kind of state of psychological need?
Wow...i just realised how hard it is to blog about your own problems when you are listening to Brian McKnight's acoustic version of Cherish. I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside now...mmmm. hehehe~~~~
So, if you guys are reading this, leave me a comment and tell me what are your dreams lately and what do you think of it. Till then...ciao!

Randomness!
AHHH!!!! I did it again today!!! I slept thru the whole day again!!! Sigh~~i woke up at 7pm today and i realised i wasted the whole day!!! What the hell is wrong with me? Maybe i like the serenity at night. Just some cool breeze, cicada having concerts on the fields and no one moving except me and Kazuki. I just wish i could like like any other normal person would do.
Just the other day, my friend was asking me about his blog. If there's anything improved. That got me thinking. Does a personal blog have to have standards? Like how long it should be and stuffs? I dunno. i just write what i feel like writing at the moment. Like this posting, i wanted to do a short one but instead i just kept on writing.
Another question comes to mind, does human tend to standardize everything in this world? Where is that free world everyone talks about then? Everywhere i go, there's rules, regulations, status-quo that one must have to be able to be someone! Why can't people live freely? Just doing what they do best and love the most! Hahahaha!! That would have been awesome, innit?
Anyway, that's all from me today!
Bored,

Just wondering..
Have you ever felt that there's just so much to say but you can't find the words? That's what i'm feeling right now. My heart is yearning for something. I can't quite make out what is it that I'm yearning for. You feel that it is soooooo close but yet it is damn bloody elusive. My heart goes doki-doki at that every attempt to make sure of it. Why? I don't know.
There's so much going on in my head that i start to feel nausea. Am i emo? I really hope not!! The emo culture is so damn hippy and overrated! Its like those bad fashion back in the 80's! But trends of fashion will fade but will the this thingamajig fade too? I'd keep my fingers crossed!!!!!
To be honest, i'm thinking/considering/planning/worry (please pick one) about so many things all at once that i start to feel helpless. Sometimes i just wanna runaway from all these and not care. But can i really continue in this escapism mode? I'm tired. Really tired.
I guess this time the not-so-emo-but-still-emo side of me took over my fingers to blog. heheheh...I promise that i'll try not to in my next postings!!! Till then, sayonara, mina-san!!
Tired of helplessness,

Guitar-Man!!!
hehehe...what a title!! Not that i am any good at it though!! i consider myself a "Half bucket of everything" musician. Yes, i can kinda play a lot of stuffs but it's all basic fundamental stuffs. Hence, the name "the half bucket of everything musician".
Anyway, i happened to get introduced by my friend to a guitar "distributor". Not sure if i can call him that. But it happens that he wanted to get someone to help him sell guitars here. So, that's my cue to enter. Now, i can get any guitar you want (actually more like i want to!) and at a better price too, if possible. New or used, any brand and any type! My first purchase would be (notice the future tense...lol) ......
..this!! A Fernandes Burny MG-130s! Err...the specs are...well, it can hold 6 strings...its a electric guitar and you need an amp...ah hell!!! Does it matter?? It's a hide (of X Japan) signature model replica in bright yellow and with red loves all over it!!!! THIS IS SEXY!! wahahah...
(Actually, my sister purposely snapped this pic for me to see. Its a used guitar and selling totally cheap! Only 29,800Yen!! That's about RM1000 over here..but including tax, this and that...well, go figure.)
So...now i embark on a new journey that is to sell guitars. Hopefully i can make it. So, should you have any guitars that you wanna buy, hit me up and i'll get it for ya!
Hmm...wonder if i can buy the yellow guitar thru my contact.... :P

ゆめの悲し~~
After performing for 2 weekends straight at Moonriver Cafe, i think i realised what is "wrong" with me. It seems that, according to my partner (hey...cursed aka mike teh, i'm talking about you!) , i'm performing along with my age.
What does it mean? Well, simply that i'm singing too many old songs. Songs that i grew up with. Am i too slow to pick my own song selections? What the hell! I just can't sing the new ones!! i don't know..There's patrons who really told me right in my face that they like my voice and they said i had a good voice. And that was after i flunked my first public attempt of Mayangsari/Amy Search's TIADA LAGI. Talk about motivations. Hehehe~~
I've been watching a lot of Hikki (thats Utada Hikaru, to you!) and to be honest, i feel somehow demotivated. Wait...that didn't came out right. Sort of sad and excited. Sad because she is around my age and yet she is already more that 10 years in the business. While i'm still contemplating if i should plunge headfirst into this world. Excited because...just like Hikki's song "TIME WILL TELL". Yes, i believe someday, i WILL be what i wanted to be for so long.
Just like Hikki, i wanna perform original songs. Songs that are written for a specific time and event. Songs that has their own story to tell. Stories that i want people to know about. Words that are written by the same hand that is typing this BS. But doing covers is what Crescendo Music is all about. I can't complain much, can i? I guess i'm just too old to start dreaming. Am i? Am i in the wrong ship? Am i going the right way all this time? Only He will know....
sad,
JL

All the way from Japan!
Just an update. I noticed that i've been way to busy setting up Crescendo Music blog that i almost ignored my own blog. Almost. Anyway, I just wanted to share with the world what my sister got me from Japan! Onegaishimasu!
My 1st shirt from Japan.
First up, she got me a shirt. Not the "Someone went to Japan and all i got was this lousy t shirt" kinda thingy. I don't know where she got it from exactly but the paperbag is printed with MEN'S CENTER YUKIYA. "Sound Has Its Own Emotions". How true that statement is! This shirt has embedded my view on what music is! Definately gonna be my "performing outfit"! Now, i need to figure how to set my overall look around that.
Actually from this piece of cloth, it really shows that how much my sister understands me really. Somehow got me thinking, if i were the one buying her stuffs, would i able to get into her mind just like how she did to me.I'm not confident if i can....Guess that makes me a real failure as a brother, huh?
Anyway, on to the next gift!! *grin*
Jack (DMC) in a "rock 'n' roll pose".
This is Jack from Detroit Metal City (DMC) anime. Its supposedly the show's greatest Metal God. Well, from the looks of it, you probably could have guessed. A lot of you who has watched that anime would start chanting "GO TO! DMC!! GO TO! DMC!!". That's what i did when i opened the box. Its a bobhead figurine. Really cool to place it on a really big ass watt thumping speaker while blasting DMC's SATSUGAI!!!!!"Korose! korose! subete korose!! SAT~SU~GA~I~~" wahaha~~~
And my favourite shot of Jack!
You must be wondering what is that thing doing in the background in one of Jack's photo. To be honest, that is the third and final (not really final but it is the last gift, y'know).
Zidane Tribal of Final Fantasy 9!
That is Zidane Tribal of Final Fantasy 9!!! Complete with his Zorlin Shape Dagger...Kyaa~~!! Yes, i'm a sucker for all FF games (with the exception of FF XII. It is so totally not FF!!). This is a bit too mature looking Zidane for my liking. For me, Zidane always looks like that skirt chasing, playful monkey boy! wahahaha~~~For this figurine, we had to attach the arms, upperbody and the tail. No, the arms and legs are not articulate. Its fixed in place and who cares? Its looking good!!
The DMC and this FF9 set is known as the BLIND BOX. Don't ask me why it is called Blind but somehow i suspect it has to do with not knowing what is inside the box. Yes, they all look alike from the box. So, you have to weigh and use all you logic and senses if you wanna get a certain character.
For example, my sister wanted to get Tony Tony Chopper (of One Piece anime) and all she has to do is to find one that is the lightest because Chopper is a tiny bluenosed reindeer. Actually, my sister wanted to get me Cloud Strife (of FF7 and FF7:Advent Children). So, the gamble was to get the heaviest box available due to his Buster Sword is one big ass weapon. (Makes me wonder where the heck he hid it?!). But not all thing works that way. But nevertheless, I am happy that she kept that in mind.
Just wondering, do they have Tifa Lockhart (of FF7 and FF7:Advent Children) in Blind Box set too?*giggle* i bet i'd go broke looking for it!!! Not that i mind. I'd do anything for Tifa!!!*swoon*

My wierd collection
This is my wierd collection of liquor bottles that i knew i got wasted on. Those i don't know...well, it remains unknown!! LOL~~!!!
I've been collecting these as reminders that i could drink away all my blues but i'd still wake up to it..worse than before with the hangovers! Not a wise move. Anyway, I've started collecting these from 2004 (i think..) and i've stopped added any to my collection since 2006/2007. Hmm...i guess its a good thing.
Here's the shortlist:
