The Lightning Seeds best of CD has been on repeat in my discman since the day I got it, thus kicking Hail to the Thief out after it's 3-4 weeks reign in my discman. Can Lightning Seeds break that record? I think so!
Special thanks to Wendiee for this very special belated bday present!
The Lightning Seeds - Sense
I'm flying high on something beautiful and aimless,
it's got a name but I prefer to call it nameless.
It comes and goes leaves me on a bed of splinters,
feels like I'm living in a town closed down for winter.
The taste of Love,
the more you get, the more you want,
and all because,
the only reason is just because.
It all makes Sense,
when you're near
it all makes Sense.
I'm standing high on tiptoes looking over fences,
waiting for somebody like you to kiss me Senseless.
I've had a bellyfull of faces drawn in sadness,
I want to jump deep into tides of loving madness

I feel so tired.
I'm not sure how long more my body can take this amount of work. Mentally, and physically, I feel so strained.
I can't spend time with my friends, and I see the same people almost EVERYDAY. Not that I hate it, but I want to do stuff myself too. I want to catch a show. I want to sleep. I want to watch dvds. I want to newton. I want to play football.
I want to do so many things, and it doesn't help when the school is giving you shit. I get TONS of attitude every time I need something from the school. So much for being matured students. We're treated like dirt compared to the kids.
I REALLY AM anticipating March. Though it's only one week away, it still seems like an eternity.
I need my rest. I don't want to die now.
God save me.

Franz Ferdinand gig was awesome! I hate the squeezing factor though. I am a little claustrophobic and I hate the lack of oxygen.
I think I'm the sitting kind who likes my own space at gigs. The space to move, dance, hop, scream, and truly enjoy myself with my favourite music, and my friends.
Groove with me to Franz Ferdinand!

I've just crossed another hurdle. Two, in fact!
Today's bloody valentine's. Had a law exam and a asian cinema exam back to back.
I think I finished half the ink in my pen. It's been a long time since I sat and wrote for such long stuff. So I spent the whole day in school, and coming back in the evening wanting to watch 'Ashes of Time' but fell asleep as the quality really sucked. Not that WKW is a bad director, but the quality on the DVD was ripped off a VHS I guess. It was so atrociously done I decided to hit the sack and wake up later for a beer, then 'In the Mood for Love', with Eugene, whom I guess is bunking over tonight.
How romantic.

I know I should be excited about Franz Ferdinand playing this Thursday, but I've been so busy, I can't even look forward to it. Now I wonder how I should plan my timings for this Thursday so I can "enjoy" the gig.
Sigh.
I realised I can actually learn plenty from my editor just by hanging around and watching him work. But sometimes, he does it so fast, I wonder what he actually clicks to create certain effects. The school machines should be collected by the garang guni. They are almost half my age, they render at EXTREMELY slow speeds beyond anything you thought was slow, and crashes once in a while. Now tell me, how will these old antiques help students who will come out immediately to the industry for work if these crap don't meet standards in the market? And all the crap about making quality films. Tsk tsk.
The 35mm camera is close to my dad's age, which is about 50 odd years... Or it could be even older. Yes. Don't be shocked. Stuff in my school are really quite old. But one good thing about old cameras are, they give you the look from that era it got made. I wonder if they still sell hand cranked film cams.. Would be interesting to own one. Or an 8mm cam.
Bunked in morphyB's for the fine tuning of music for 'Regrets'. ITS SO COOL. I know I sound a bit exaggerated, but I would love to own a room like his, though it's a bit cramped. Reason it being cramped is mainly due to the overloading of equipment! I want his speakers, LCD TV (as a monitor output for his PC!), his recording facilities, his synth keyboard, his loads of CDs... And the list goes on. The only one thing I would want that he doesn't have... Is a sound proof facility. I think it would make it perfect. The final touch to make it all closer to heaven. Of course, 5.1 speakers would be good to have, and a film projecter. Ok. I'm getting overboard.
I really like to take this oppurtinity with this post, to thank all my friends who helped some way or another in creating this short film. Even insignificant things like a contact, a ride home, advice, ideas, love, or even for just being available to help in anyway. I love all my friends! (Even those who didn't know how to help. Haha)
I will definately find the time to meet up with all of you whom I've not seen ever since I got into the abyss. My MIA will be over soon! Bring on the beer!

I know I'm a bit slow since its already 2006, but, WOW.
I love this album.
I've been addicted to it for the past 3 weeks, and its still going strong.
Current repeat album for me!
I'm so stuck to it, I think I'll do an MTV for 'Sit down, stand up' for my 35mm showreel.
