Seidup Sekunsi

Whoa! Couldn’t find a suitable word to describe my life this week..It’s so intense, hectic, muscle strain, dehydrated, etc. but again, it’s worth it. The pain that I endured for the past two weeks has come to an end, with two gold medals..:) (*grinning from ear to ear…).

 Anyway, I couldn’t update my blog as regularly as I want cause I’m still busy with my work lately. Nevertheless, my artistic side has showed up and I manage to compose my own song (albeit my average voice). This is an Iban song, strictly for bedroom complete with my amateur video. I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment. Thank you readers!

p/s: puke at your own risk...hahahaha..LOL!

Got my Capo(with guitar cover)

Finally, I’m in a holiday mood! It’s been a long week for me and the constantly aching ulcer in my mouth doesn’t help much. Yes, losing a colleague did affect my life but enough being sober, I’ll pray his soul is there with the Creator.

I manage to shoot simple videos the other day and I hope you’ll enjoy it. I actually turn the song upside down with my cheap guitar and off-pitch vocal..haha. First up, my first Indonesian’s song, Aishiteru…

By the way, I got my guitar capo today. Specially ordered from KL(I asked my bro to buy it) with just RM 40. Hey, it’s cheap but it works really well! It suits my guitar and now I’m gona show off my guitar capo to my friends (*grin)…

Next, my amateur-nonsense-rendition of Billionaire from Travie McCoy ft Bruno Mars. Ignore everything except the rap part. I practically doing this to evaluate my rapping skills(ghahaha, although I have none embedded in my genes). Yeah, save your laugh and enjoy my trash video readers. TQ.

Grenade Cover

Yeah, this is officially my second cover in YouTube. Just listening to it and you will definitely notice lots of error in this video. It wasn’t perfect but I hope you do enjoy this..(fingers crossed)

Lost my guitar pick but I manage to made one

Hey, watch this kid playing guitar. He is Sungha Jung, and he has God’s finger! Trust me!

Price Tag cover

I shouldn’t post this but I guess it’s a good way to express yourself(in a good way of course) and encourage people to be more expressive and confident in everything they do. As for me, I always find that playing guitar would be the best way to channel my feeling (in my bedroom) but the urge to post a video of myself playing guitar keep coming up and without realizing it, here I am posting my video to you all..Hahahahaha.

Hey, I hope you won’t puke watching this. This is me playing Price Tag by Jessie J. I tried to rap it but I think it is way too funny. It’s my first attempt but I’ll try to improve it next time.

My original guitar capos!

 

Karmin 

Wait, check out this video…this is from Karmin. They are awesome! I really love them. Just watch all their videos and I bet you’ll want more!(unless you are not into music…)

When Art at its AWESOMENESS!

When there’s an artist named Gabriel Dawe unleashing his creative artworks, millions admire his art. Using only Gutermann thread, wood, and nails, he manage to make a Rainbow Effect…You think I’m kidding? See for yourself…

Notes about the artist (from bio):

“Gabriel Dawe was born in Mexico City where he grew up surrounded by the intensity and color of Mexican culture. After working as a graphic designer, he moved to Montreal, Canada in 2000 following a desire to explore foreign land. In search for creative freedom he started experimenting and creating artwork, which eventually led him to explore textiles and embroidery—activities traditionally associated with women and which were forbidden for a boy growing up in Mexico. Because of this, his work is subversive of notions of masculinity and machismo that are so ingrained in his culture. By working with thread and textiles, Dawe’s work has evolved into creating large-scale installations with thread, creating environments that deal with notions of social constructions and their relation to evolutionary theory and the self-organizing force of nature.

After seven years of living in Canada and gaining dual citizenship as a Mexican-Canadian, Gabriel moved to Texas to pursue graduate school at the University of Texas at Dallas where he is presently a candidate for an MFA in Arts and Technology. His work has been exhibited in Dallas, Houston, Montreal, Toronto and Barcelona.”

CRAZY Rehearsal

I’m so CRAZY over Gnarls Barkley song lately (its title is CRAZY). Ever heard of it?? If you never, Google it of go You Tube. This song is awesome especially when you play it acoustically…I’m rehearsing with my (*cheap) guitar non-stop just to get it right. I’m sure you gona love this song when you hear it. Let’s rehearse together readers!

(intro: just hit the 3rd fret on the A string)

Cm                                                     Eb

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind

                                           Ab

There was something so pleasant about that phase.

Even your emotions had an echo

           Gm   G

In so much space

Cm

And when you're out there, without care,

                   Eb

Yeah, I was out of touch

                                    Ab

But it wasn't because I didn't know enough

                Gm  G

I just knew too much

                  Cm

Does that make me cra-zy

                  Eb

Does that make me cra-zy

                  Ab

Does that make me cra-zy

     Gm G

Probably

(this verse pattern for the second verse is the same as the third verse, but different

the first)

Cm                                              Ab

And I hope that you are having the time of your life

          Eb                    Gm    G

But think twice, that's my only advice

Cm                                                                    Eb

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,

                    Ab

Ha ha ha bless your soul

                           Gm     G

You really think you're in control

(i'm pretty sure the choruses are the same throughout and the verses follow that last pattern)

Well, I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

I think you're crazy

Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb

And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun

And it's no coincidence I've come

And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy

Maybe you're crazy

Maybe we're crazy

Probably

(for outro repeat second chorus pattern and end on Cm.

CRAZY practice!

Weird & creative!

What would you do with your hair? Well, for some people, throwing away your hair after you cut it is a waste. Let’s check the art (insect) produced from HAIR..the artist’s name is Adrienne Antonson.

The Warded Man

Hey there..I’m going to have a little trip with my family and since I won’t have much time to blog till xmas(it’s xmas time and I’m busy 24/7), I’m thinking of leaving something for you here and just to be sure that my blog doesn’t bore you to death…I just finished reading The Warded Man(an epic fantasy novel) and it blew me away!Phew!

A RM34.90 novel prove to be a worth buy and as far as I’m concern, it somewhat gives me inspiration to explore my creativity more. If there is any lesson to learn from this novel, it’s about how we tend to run away from our problems rather than facing it. By running away, we keep ourselves so occupies with what we are fighting against, and forget what we are fighting for. For those who have never touched any novel before, I suggest you pick up one and start reading. At first I thought that reading novel was a waste of time..how very wrong I was proved to be! I started picking up novel this year and enjoy it immensely..so much that I think I wouldn’t stop after this..     

Art of Beauty

Some of you might realize that I didn’t really blog much about local content in my blog. Well, I plan to write more about things around Malaysia or specifically, Sarawak next time. As for now, let me share one of my favourite topic, ART. Apart from songs and movies, I do like creative works. I admire some of the best and talented artist in the world that can create an art with jaw dropping values..Hardly we find artist in Malaysia with such talent but I hope my entry this time would open up and encourage younger generation to get involve in creative art. I’m not an artist but I appreciate art very much. Let me introduce a young Russian artist who can create marvellous dolls which strike with tremendous detalization and expression..

Yes..that’s right, I’m not a doll person but to see such a unique doll(again I don’t fancy teddy bear!) makes you want to own one of this. Let’s check more of her art..
