Obviously this blog requires some sort of organising system. Its so dusty I just have to... ah-ah-tch-oooo sneeze!
Its been a long time since Sali and I dressed out for the sole sake of going out
Its been a long time since Paul and I have done that too.
Its been a long time since any of us had time to find time
*imagines rummaging through the mist and woods to find old grandfather- time! where are you!*
Ahhh, so many things to do! So many things to want to do!
Also, I have to find a way to managing this blog, somehow.

greetings all, it is me ...Ayam, anyway about guitars,i have 7 , 5 of them somewhat working.Its the all seeing eye,it sees all. ok, to be fair to you guys for having to listening to me and my nonsense, I'll post a song(with no singing 
as i can't sing) just for you guys:) soon...
as i can't sing) just for you guys:) soon... Went to watch The Orphanage to day, really good show can be viewed in so many ways sort of like Vantage Point without all the disadvantages(Vantage point is a really irritating show , because they keep rewinding and playing back,oh,go watch it...)
I wanna watch StarWars ep:4 & 5 & 6. The attack of the BUG , a large and flying flying type beetle descends upon the land of the Lizzie and leaves a trail of screams. Gloriously told in fearful monotone over the phone:-) guitar pickups will post pics of 7 the guitars soon

Paul is nice. I want dress. He wants guitar
Liz:
Today Paul was very nice. He walked in the sweltering rain and got drenched with me just to make sure I got to that Salsa place. Or rather to make sure that I met Sali and Colin to go to that salsa place cause frankly by the time I'd found my way and they were waiting at the bus stop, the rain had decided to calm down. Paul hates getting wet. Paul is nice. And very very sweet.
Salsa class was okay. I'm convinced I can learn basic salsa on youtube. also I have to totally improve my dancing. Also Paul's gonna kena salsa lessons from me. Actually, wait, I can ask sandi to teach me, gonna be near her school soon, yay!
There are two huge reddish bumps with whitish yellow centres on my back. yes, like you needed to know. But i just felt like being disgusting today, so boo to you all. I wonder how they got there. Hmmm.
I want dress
I want dresses
I absolutely love the blue one... 1. I love halter necks 2. I love this shade of blue together with that creamy buttery yellow 3. Its going on sale! from US 229 to US 99 yea like as if I can even afford it but I'd like to think that since its cheaper it should be more affordable, right? dream on, liz!Also, limited pieces!!!! grawp!!!
The second one has stawberries printed on it, its totally fresh! I might have to alter this one's length though, and I dont like the fact that you have to pay US 229 for it when the design of the straps isn't THAT fantastic, I mean its like the straps and the dress dont seam to go together, i love the idea of the tie-it-your-way ribbon thought!
The third one is absolutely luxurious, I'd wear it to my wedding, lol. Its fully lined, with boning(I love boned bustiers!) and THREE layers of skirt, yes you heard me THREE layers of skirt! *swoons* reality check: it also costs US209. Why!
Having made all this hoo ha ooh ah about these dresses, it might occur to me that since I haven't actually tried any of the dresses, and therefore having no idea how it looks like on me, this is all just an illusion. Wake up! Noooo I dont care! I shall steal all of Pauls money to satisfy my urge to own these dresses! Pauls money:
Is hidden within the depths and soul of this Fender Japan. Yay japan. My pitch pipe is made in Japan (it also cost be 27 bucks, 20 bucks more than he china one, but it was worth it, sound is so much smoother!) Lol. I advised to get dark burst cuz the black was too plain and plain ugly, yet so, I can't stand that white chunk of acrylic which ruins the whole balance! But oh well, the sound's supposed to be super versatile and I guess form and function will always be compromised. apart from that, we shall need funds to get pickups, 145, leopard printed(i know, what taste...) guitar straps (hmmm leopard print and leather might get kinky in bed ;) ), dunno how much for another acrylic board to replace the ugly white one. Oh and a trip to the intonator. Now just where are we gonna find the monaaayyy?
Paul contemplated going to geylang to work. I told him I'd never forgive his money minded catty head if he ever did. Well, either that or I'd join him, lol. I'm abit miffed because I made some pretty cool comments yesterday and before the auto save my dad offed the connection which screwed up my whole system and now I just can't remember what i wrote last night. I mean, genius only strikes once in awhile for civilians, you know! Any hoo, I'm off to doing work work work tonight I shall
1. Load, print and stick researh into sketchbook
2. Do layout collage 3. Do more fashion illustrations.
4. Think about what to do for presentation.
Do you think I'm trying to over achieve?

WOW!
Liz:
It seems like I'm the only one around here who has something to say, or rather, am bigoted enough to actually want to write everything down.
Anyhoo, tonight we went to the arts house to watch 'Comedy of Errors' (The last time I went to the arts house, it was to perform! sigh!) I love the smell of the arts house! While the show was totally spastic with typical slapstick antics, I thought it was really cool! It was typical shakespearean comedy which lends its humour to mixing up of identities and LOTS of dramatic irony which I must say, leaves the audience(or me) abit confused at times. somehow, it reminded me alot of twelfth night, but overall, the plot was totally frivolous, totally drunken, and a total much ado about nothing. But of course I've come to believe that the beauty of Shakespeare lies in his language and... well in not much else. although the Language makes up for that everything else.
having said that, it didnt start on a good note for me as I was totally lost in the first scene itself! I guess one part of it was the fact that the character slurred her words alot and the other was that these coarse ears of mine have become untuned to the key of Shakespeare. But it got along better as my ears were tuning themselves. Acting wise, I thought it was really good! I would say the girls were better than the guys but the play was made for the girls to but holding up the whole show anyway. I think this play was totally gaming on the fact that the girls were played by young boys at that time. Cuz if you think about it in that sense, the play becomes so much more funnier as the audience, being able to distinguish the onstage character and the knowledge of the true actors sex... well, you get what I mean. But these girls tonight were so full of energy, although at times i felt it lacking in rawness in some scenes.The only guy character I liked was Dr. Pinch, but considering there were only 3 guys, theres not much to speak of then. I loved the slave-twins though they were totally cute! And I liked that could really feel the chracters tension/love/hapiness and we actually went... awww im honestly happy for them at the end of the show. The power of shakespeare, or energy kept well?
Met Ning after the show! yay Ning!
My parents are watching korean drama dvds....(reminds me of: 'they're playing croquet', lol) and the moon is full, big and bright I had an altogether nice evening out, and an altogether nice day. except for the part where i got pissed with Paul for being late. note to self to keep this temper in check.Tmrw we might go out and celebrate daddy's birthday at spizza, and i really should be getting more work done than I already am, which is not alot. Go Liz, Jiayou!
Yay, Paul comes home safe and sound. Sali's mom fetched her home, so she's safe and sound, and I met colin online which confirmed his homecoming. Everyone's safe home, so I am Happy.
Wan an, shui hao!

Argh!
Dont you just find it frustrating when you call, and call, and call, and call someone till you feel like such a fool and yet! No-one picks up. fffffffff...
Well, he's sleeping, so I can't blame him. But one would think that after awhile you'd actually feel the phone vibrate? Maybe he's grown immune to it.
In the meantime, Liz is here suffering from trauma.
1) I step out of my room and all hell breaks loose. You just can;t get any peace anywhere else other than your room, can you. hurr.
2) Sonya!!!!! I feel like shaking you. Has he even broken up with her?! I want DETAILS!
3) FSS organizers are being difficult. Maybe I'm just pissed off and taking it out on them.
4) TAS YV! We just got the schedule and I want to die. Songs to learn, etc etc
5) Specialism- homework!!!! Why aren't thou and I making a connection!
6) Other work, Which is proving a bitch to finish
7) Poly oh poly, why do u give everything to us in dribs and drabs, why are datelines for everything jumbled and mixed up, why do I have to wait for you to tell me things before I can confirm everything
sigh. Life's many woes. And of course, I am complaining. I shouldn't but I havent bought tickets for tongights concert, and I'm damn sure they were going for 10 bucks, so my question is why the hell is it 15 now? Fuck!
Paul, wake up!

Undersatnding.
Liz:
I find it weird that after all this time, we have such different views about the one thing that probably brought us together in the first place: Music
I'm not gonna say what it is but perhaps its a good thing after all that we both see things the way we do. I mean, they probably wouldn't come up with the music they do now if it hadn't been for these reasons. And then there's the whole sharing of ideas from two different different points of view kinda thing. Maybe thats why Lennon/Mcartney was such a sucess. But I'll probaly leave the whole Lennon/Mcartney thing to Paul/Mirza or Mirza/Paul... we'll leave them to decide on that wont we. some great pairings:
Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney
Fred/Ginger
Katherine Hepburn/Cary Grant
Audrey Hepburn/Givenchy
but that's besides the point
I was infuriated. How in the world could Paul have such... such views that degrade music as a being in itself! This is treason! My, he'd better learn to love music or he'll never know what he's doing in life.
Now I felt this way cause i am in the opinion that if you wanna be an artist, you gotta do what you're doing for the sake of loving it. I guess thats why I'm not as big about must-do-originals as Paul I'm not in it for the creating of something, but rather to just, well have fun in what you do.
I also guess why it felt like I was on familiar ground just crapping around under the bridge singing with a complete stranger, not giving a damn whether people even thought we were good or not. I was happy,because, honestly, I'd rather be there, under some dingy bridge indulging music in all its simplicity with nothing to prove. Than well, just being another face in the crowd.
supporting a lost cause. I've come to the realization that, despite loving to perform, music means so much more when just a few people get together on a lazy sunday afternoon(methaphorically speaking) and make noises and just...have a good time. It brings people together, its heartwarming just to share music with the ones you love. It certainly has more value than performing to a bunch of people who don't even know you. Sometimes I wonder if celebrities are truely happy with what they're doing and if they've lost sight of what they wanted to achieve in the first place. we all support idols who we fictionalize in our minds. The real people behind the glamour is not who we want them to be at all. Idols are... well figments of our imagination
But I've side tracked.
Then I tought about me and my relationship with piano. I think if I were to study the piano just for the love of it, I wouldn't backstabbing myself pushing and pushing to get all thes certs and grades. I'd take my time to learn skills and stuff, and never mind if I'm damn good at playing but I dont have a cert. But its true with my procrastinator personality and that kind of mentality, I'd get nowhere. I'm studying piano because I've got something to prove. It used to be for other people, but now, its more like to myself. That I can actually do it. Hell, I'll prove you wrong and I'm not giving up.
Which doesn't mean I dont have any feelings for the piano other than wanting to prove something.
There! I've solved my problem' by looking at myself I can finally understand why Paul does things the way he does. Why he feels better playing at church. Its not, and at the same time is about performing. Its so intangible and hard to define. Its the feeling you get when you feel you're sharing your love of music to people who actually appreciate with for its heart and soul and not the mind. Its the reason why I love performing.
I know it sounds like I contradict myself. But im not really cause this topic is so subjective. There is no definite. Its the intention of your music. I can't explain it in anyway else right now.
Paul, care to share your views?
Its time to eat cookies!
