nine masked men.

august sixteenth two-oh-oh-five. gosh. will they really be coming? haha. granted i am NOT as excited as i would be, uh lets say, a year ago. i really doubt i'll be disappointed if they didn't come. hahahaha! i won't start with all the derogatory terms to describe slipknot but i guess since i've started listening to others bands, my enthusiasm for them is rather diluted. well. lamb of god was opening for them on some other tour in some other part of the planet. and THAT is one band i know i definitely wanna catch at this period of time. i wanna see randy blythe perform onstage live!!! hurhur.

i know i should be more excited but i'm quite jaded at the moment. *shrug* not exactly looking forward to it but i hope it WILL be an experience. i wonder if i can sneak in my digicam. prolly wont be able to get good shots from where i'll be. but hell. i could try. haha. i think i should start listening again to my slipknot cds. thinking back, the second album was great to have your head thrashing around murderous thoughts. i really wonder why i didn't like it the first time round. i think i was going too soft around that time in my life. haha! i think i was trying to cut down on listening to all the heavy kinda music. well. a leopard never changes its spots, i guess. here, i guess i hafta agree somewhat to what dom posted on his blog on august 11th.

i may not dig slipknot as much now. but i hafta attribute them to helping me somehow re-live and re-enjoy past pleasures. it's funny how i often look back on my life and realise the little things i did to come to this stage. i remember how i gradually stopped going for local gigs, finding out new bands to listen to, buying cds or flipping through music magazines. it is quite amusing really. i was sooo incredibly caught up being 'happy with' someone that i think i kinda lost my sense of self.

i can laugh it off (sorta) because it IS fun right here, right now. i wouldn't have joined PS/Cairnhill if i didn't see it as something to occupy my hopelessly cluttered mind. i wouldn't have gotten to know the people, the activities that i'm doing now. one thing after another. it has been fun and quite uplifting. i wouldn't have known the joys of clubbing. woo hoo! (oklah. this is attributed more to the arts fest peeps.) i wouldn't have gone on to that first gig and got to know the metal guys. (although i don't exactly regard them as my friends. they ARE useful acquaintances when i need metal influence over tarian and hip hop/r&b flavoured clubbing moments.) hurhur. i like the tarian + hip hop/r&b clubbing + metal as fave music genre combination. i like the fact that i have all these influences so that i can take a lil bit from each and have fresh perspectives on thangs.

not to say that life is very good, just that it IS considerably better than before. wheeee. i think i'm still from a shopping spree high. (i went to geylang - not like red light district tau - with mommy and bought tudungs, cloth to make into skirts, dresses and what not) yeah yeah! me happy.

this post has seriously digressed from slipknot. haha! but hey. still tryin to figure out my outfit if they DO come. hurhur. it's like 5pm and i need to rush. dance prac later. slipknot. are you coming?
