Revolutionary Masterpiece


Since I was in my mother's womb, I had been exposed to classical music such as Beethoven, Palchelbel and many more. Later, I would resort to Jazz where it is quite light and funky. However, I wonder how Rock came into contact with me as I grew older? As I recalled, I really hated pure rock music at the tender age of 6 for their explosive noise made my heart race and my senses tingling. This was because I couldn't stand heavy sound, all confusion took place when I hear any of that sort. Furthermore, my family was the kind that doesn't listen to this kind of music and was discouraged when asking to try listening to one.

Years later, at the age of Puberty of 15, my dad, who actually listens to Rock, not just mere Rock, but Hard Rock (Woah!) introduced me to Radiohead, a British Pop/Rock Band. My first impression after hearing a track of their CD was, "Is this some kind of a Psychedellic, mind controlling programme of sort?". Sure, it was really slothful to be heard. The music goes slow, then slower, then it was like... I dont know, better change the band's name to 'Sleepy'head (Get the picture?). Well, that's better. Overall, the band is well established and I praise for their nice effort to bring life to those kind of music. Old albums beat the rest, if you wanna try this one-hell of a rock band, listen to old ones first, the reason is I hate the new ones, they suck deliberately causing your ears to bleed. Your attempt is at your own risk (And don't ay i didn't warn you!).

"Try this one, you'll love it", a friend told me. It was a Muse (A British Rock band) gig compilation CD of their round Australia tour. That was when I was in sweet Form 5. I'm already into Rock at that time, since I've played Guitar Hero at the ps2 console with my dad during last school break (Form 4). Motorhead, Kiss, Ramones, Deep Purple and Jimi Hendrix, these are the names that revolve around my head if someone were to talk about Rock with me. Hence, Muse was quite the debut in my mind then, and the enthusiasm seeped into my soul as quickly as the thunder skill launched by Pikachu or Raichu (Whichever makes you happy). Eagerly, I ran to my room, on my PC, insert the CD, and voila, the scenes started. "Fwaaaaa... Cool", those were my first words. Appealing, Fascinating wa what I thought as all of the rock songs I heard, there were non like the Muse. They were totally the best.

Until, on 2006, they launched their new album called the 'Super Masive Blackhole' which has been averted from their original idea of rock. Initially, they were just doing what rockers do best, Jamming with all their might, using every capabilities that they have. Howver, they really turned me off by changing their style to Rock/Techno. "Come on! You're not a Disco band, stop tarnishing your own reputation!", my gripe at that particular launching time of the CD, full of tension and sorrow. I regret to say that I may have lost my faith in rock bands... But then again, after I heard from more band like Arctic Monkeys and Alter Bridge, my devotion has been revived! At this point the headbanging starts.

Growing older, I stayed at the dorm of a University, meeting friends which I never even imagine that I would be close to who taught me how to play the guitar! That's nice! I had guitar lessons before but they were forsaken for I pursued for something else, that is not necessary to be stated here. I had 2 teachers, one was my senior and one was in the same batch. They were both nice individuals, for people who don't really know them, they would probably thought that my friends were some mess up teenagers or even spoiled brats. Progressing with the guitar lessons, my head progressed too as they banged more and more each day after learning a tune or two. Heads banged, Pillows kicked around, Friends tortured, all because of the revolutinary Rock madness. The chaotic craze doesn't just and anywhere, it continues.. No one can really hate rock, they have to just go with the flow in the end.

To cut a long story short, my head still spinning from the bangings and crashings. It doesn't hurt one bit, it's just as exhilarating as you play PS3 that you've bought with your own money (Playing in the gaming outlets clearly irrelevant). Often heard people say that Rock doesn't potray any art and soul in their music. Well, they're wrong, Rock indeed have something that most genre have not, their speciality plus they have their own classification, what more do you actually want?

I thought the joker was creepy. But this...

Soul of a Blogger

Blogging was made to express people's point of view,
And through blogspot, I've wrote a few,
Enjoying it and thus made it a hobby,
Until at one point, I stopped 'cause I'm sleepy.

Tup Tap Tup Tap, I typed very excitedly,
When I finished writing, I felt really happy,
I read my post again to check for any mistake,
It's only objective is for perfection's sake.

Before, I had ample time to write in blogs,
But recently, I have little time to even have small talks,
As for now, time is always ahead of me,
I tried to catch up time but fell tremendously.

No! This won't be the end of me,
For I will still climb up higher than a tree,
And Yes! I will use all my might,
In order to be the winner of this worldly fight.

*The End*


HAHAHA~ Blogging sure is Fun :D

Unique, I want to be called that..

Strength, that is what we call as our speciality in our inner self. No one can actually measure how strong you are, it's all in psychological sense where if someone thinks he's strong, then he is strong in a way.

The Power does not come from brawns alone but brains as well. The synchronization of the kills develops a new kind of wave which is the hidden force. Force doesn't mean brute force, but more to what I called earlier, a speciality that made each and every man on earth different from each other. Furthermore, men are made with diversity of attributes, that's how they are unique in every aspects. For instance, some men are weak, but their brains are assets while vigorous men lacks intellect. However, there are still men who possess both traits, they are called the all-rounder which are perfect.

Enough about brains and brawns, the ability of someone is actually the most inimitable of all. For example, a group of artistes, 5 of them, they can draw but not all of them are able to immitate the other one's work perfectly. Their skills are exclusive and is hard to be emulated even by an expert as they have their own drawing styles. Same goes to someone who holds the talent to play guitar, he could produce his own tune at any time by only relying onto himself.

Unique, that is the sound calling of a man. They possess different ability and skills which some come from themselves which are exceptional. Hence, do not judge a deprived as lowly he can be, he could have something that is not in acquaintance with other people. Who knows if you might learn a thing or two from him? . . . . .
