The Chum Bucket and more....

So here i am today, at the level 4 lab....where we use to have hci....all alone hahaha....juz finished my exam for advance database. Gg to stay back for a few hours to study but first i'll take a few minits to update....

Yah, yah i noe its been a long tym since i updated my blog, mal, fahmy n riff did ask y i never update anymore...haha n hafiz joked that i dun update anymore cuz he start reading my blog....sheesh i dun mind ppl reading lah....but the thing is, i've been busy the past mth or so...wanted to blog but juz been to bz...

Bz doin what u may ask? Well basically busy doin two very important stuf hahaha...as some of u may have noticed, my atitude towards sch have drasticlly changed...yup, i've now started studying...hard to believe for some but its true. I did manage to surprise many ppl haha well what can i say, im bored...mite as well use the tym to study.

The other thing i've been doing is concentrating on music. As many of u may have heard, The titinus effect got 3rd in Bandzout, a feat i still cant believe has happened. Well, niways, few days after that event, we were invited to perform at South canteen for the SEG's club national day celebrations....well yah...so we performed there on the 10th...we did the same number juz that we had to extend it slightly coz rozi, the main organizer, needed us to play for 10 mins n our medley was only 7 minit...i tot it wld be okay but she prefered us to extend it and so we did.

This tym ard, more of our frens were present. Gotta say thx to dem, Hafiz, yu cheng, sam, Sze kee, mich, geannie, jung hui, jolene, zarina, dila and so on...there were more but it was so long ago n i forgot hahaha sori....Niways, for those who wasnt there, guess what, i won a card reader in a lucky draw which i didnt enter in. Now that is what i call lucky hahaha

What actually happened is that the winner for the 5th prize must have gone off and so to avoid the prize gg to waste, the president of SEG club, my gd fren Kathir, told the host, rozi, to call me up as the winner instead hahaha imagine my shock hahaha i was actually walking towards my band memebers when rozi kinda shouted my name out excitedly n enthu....sheesh....malu sia....so i had no choice but to go up since everyone was looking at me all thx to rozi who pointed to me sheesh....

Yah, niways, the day was nice, it went smoothly....Apart from Tinitus effect, i was also concentrating on Last parade aka Left turn on red aka visual eye candy hahaha yah i noe, so many name...we still undecided ah....well, the thing is, we got a new addition to the band. Riff has join us on gitars...n i think the whole band is improving because of that. U see, riff n fadhly are equally good in terms of skill its juz that their strengths lies in two different techniques. N that is good coz they learn from each other. Thats how they improve. As for me n roma, Fadhly n riff skills have rub off on us. I guess coz we have to catch up to them thats y we also improve. But still, i still got a long way to go to reach riff's or fad's level....

Well niways, a few weeks after Tinitus Effect journey, Fahmy approach me to join him n his cuzin to join powerjam, a competition organized by power 98. Actually he approached me n Has but due to Has busy schedule, he had to turn us down. Fahmy also wanted to get a lead gitarist and after much search, Anthony agreed to join us. For those who dun noe oredy, Anthony's band got 1st in Bandzout....so The Chum Bucket was born. hahaha dun ask me abt the band name, it was Fahmy's decision hehehe he's the leader what ahaha

Well, for this competition, we had to play 2 songs; 1 cover n 1 original. Addicted by SImple Plan was chosen as the cover after a very uninteresthing discussion. Reason for it being uninteresthing was because all of us didnt really lyk to play it hahaha duno how we came abt choosing it. Anyways, for the original, they choose a song of mine. It was incomplete when they chose it. I din even have a title for it. Well, fahmy gave it a title shortly before he choose it. Now its known as Come Back To Me. I only written the 1st verse, prechorus n chorus and so i had to complete it within one wwek as we had to submit the song on the 9th sept....thankfully, i cld....which is surprising coz i started writing it abt a year ago n stop coz i cldnt get any inspiration for it. I guess i work well under pressure hahaa....

So we had our auditions last saturday, that was the 17th of sept, it was held at Wala Wala cafe and bar. It was the first tym ever i performed in a bar. Sadly, other than Fahmy, Iskandar(the drummer) and Anthony, my frens and family wasnt there to witness it....i wasnt sure how it went exactly coz it was dark so i din bother to check for the crowd's reaction but according to Fahmy, he saw several ppl nodding to the beat of Come Back To Me, Is said he saw the sound engineers doin that while Anthony spotted some one lighting up his lighter and started waving it to the beat of the music, which makes me wonder, was that guy mocking us???? hahaha cuz keep in mind, this was a pop/rock competition n what we played was kinda pop/rockish and so, yah....

Well results will be out soon, not sure if we were good enuf tho fahmy n Is saw several other bands performing and they said their original songs sux...i duno. The semis for this is this coming Saturday. The 24th....i hope we get thru...wish us luck....

Anyways, other than studying n music, i did manage to squeeze in tym for my frens n family, thankfully hahaha had so much fun in sch durin the past few mths....tho there was one occasion that i got slightly pissed n that was on the 23rd august, the day after my bday...the thing is, a few of my frens wanted to surprise me by buying a cake even tho i warned a certain someone who planned it not to do anything. i warned her last year. As many of u noe, i dun like celebrating my baday, its not cuz i scared to get saboed, that i dun mind. I juz dun lyk celebrating ah, smth personal. kinda hard to explain. So on that fateful day, they tried to hide it from me but i oredy knew smth was up. Unfortunately, i oredy made plans n was pissed when they kept lying to me to keep me in sch. I mean, firstly, i oredy warned not to do anything. 2ndly, because of it i was 2 hrs late for my band session. 3rdly, i hate ppl lying to me when i oredy know the truth. Im not stupid, i cann see thru u ppl...sad to say lah even tho i pretend lyk i duno....n because i was pissed, i guess everyone mood was dampened too...

Sori guys, but trust me next tym when i say ii dowan 2 celebrate my bday k. If u guys really want 2 do smth special for me as u all claim, then the best way is to juz hang out or slack together n have fun. Always remember, im a slacker so the best present is to slack hahaha

Well apart from that, i've been gg to my grandmother's hse every friday for the past mth without fail....i guess i juz owe my family alot n if my presence there every friday makes them happy den i dun mind being there....

Well, niways i think its tym to end this long entry. I guess what i trying to say up above is that my lyf is feeling kinda empty at the moment, kinda lonely thats y i have taken up studying n concentrate on my music more....haiz i guess i miss having sumone to talk too, having sumone to listen too....having sumone who care....well nevermind. Thats it for now....btw, gona update some pics soon. pics of Bandzout, the national day celebration, my bday, bert's bday, jy bday n some pics mei juan took in the labs, annoyingly i mite add, she practically forced me....sheesh....so for now im gg to post Come Back To Me lyrics....outz.....



Come Back To Me by Chum Bucket

I, never tot i see the day,
When i had the guts to say,
That i really love you gal,

U and i were meant to be but if u ever go,
I will never rest till we're back together

And now im torn up inside,
I cant believe that u're gone,
Im drowning in the hurt u left behind,
I know you're hurting yourself,
For all the things that we shared,
And now im sitting here juz waiting for u,
still waiting for u, juz waitng for u....

I will never leave u coz u noe i love u so,
U will always be in my heart forever,
U and i were meant to be but if u ever go,
I will never rest till we're back together

I will never leave u coz u noe i love u so,
U will always be in my heart forever,
U and i were meant to be but if u ever go,
