Long waited… I’ve been a super fan of Glay and despite missed collection of earlier indie-rock albums, I have been collecting their latest albums since I was 13. I was firstly introduce to knowing this great band was from my best buddy, Eric. Thanks to him lending me the Pure Soul album (and regrettably he now lost it), I got hooked ever since.

They have been producing new singles from time to time and albums do come quite slowly… and my preference was towards getting their albums so I can grab hold of all good songs. Scattered singles are actually worth keeping too because of the artistic covers, but that would clearly burn a hole in my pocket (but I do dream of getting them all if I were to be rich!). And… eventually I will make my way to their concerts in Japan! Hah! *starts punching numbers and marking calendars*

Now finally… a whole collection of the latest songs in an album with 3 discs! Plus… it comes with DVD with their music videos in version A  and concert footage in version B. Of course I have got my card swiped in getting the version A and to be delivered within 14 days after the release on June 10. I know I will be listening to this over and over and over… and this is only the ‘Vol. 1′. There may be or should be ‘Vol.2′.

WooHoo! Can’t wait! June June June… much happening in that month. *big smiles* Also, waiting for album no.2!

Just one little thing… I don’t really like the ’snake skin’ effect cover. It gives me the chills… snakes… EeeKk!

I may just not be smart enought to be right… or may well not be smart and right. Dilemma? Hmm…

New face is up for this dust-collecting site. It’s back to good ol’ simplistic look. Good for me!

Being out-dated yet again in the blog world, look what I’ve found! Check out the right panel… it’s a playlist call Mixpod. I supposed this existed ‘ages’ ago, and of course I only found out about it now. Sheesh! Well, blame is on me for not updating enough. Hehe! Anyways, this playlist is kinda cool, on one fact that I don’t have to clog up my own bandwidth/ space to upload songs to play it. You want the song? You search it, and you get it! It’s easy peesy.

For a start, I’ll just go with 3 songs… trying not to jam up loading. But since technology is way too good and getting better and better all the time, loading is not a problem la! You techies out there are way more advance to know this than me. I wonder where have I been all the while? I’m close to being ‘the frog in the well’, not knowing much of what’s going on in the world of technology. Even my iPod mini is outdated at the 1st generation. But hey, it’s still working ok!

Nonetheless, blog is now updated and I’m all well. I have lots of backdated stuff to update but first, my stomach is now growling and off to grab pizza I go!

“Dim sum” – a hearty Chinese/ Hong Kong style steamed dishes are always great meal to start off the day.

But sometimes, the problem would be the long wait for food to come. The above & more variaties are usually pushed out in a trolley/ cart going around tables for customers to pick. So that’s the problem… waiting for the trolley to arrive your table, with filled trolley that is. I was told (I was late to arrive the restaurant) that my friends waited for quite a while for food to come. Everytime the trolley passed, it’s close to empty and without the selections they wanted. So when they finally refilled the cart and pushed towards the table, all fingers started pointing at particular dishes and did a “bulk order”… just incase they trolley doesn’t comes back in full again. Hehe! What a way to grab food.

Ok, the main point of this post is the showdown between Myer and David Jones in Perth city today. Why? 2 hot chics… Jennifer Hawkins (face of Myer; ex-Miss Universe) and Miranda Kerr (face of David Jones; Victoria Secret top model) were on promo for both top shopping co and fashion catwalk. Too bad no glimpse of Orlando Bloom around. Haha! Not that I fancy both of them, but since my friends and I were in city after brunch, might as well check it out. The malls weren’t ‘deadly’ packed, so I did managed to get up close for photos… i mean REAL up close! I am practically standing right in front of them while trying to snap ‘em.

News: Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Hawkins go head-to-head

I/ we headed right off after, didn’t stay for the fashion show. It was terribly hot and humid today! I went straight home to rest… before my head explode in fumes. Seriously… the humidity really striked hard till the point I needed cold shower!

That’s my day…

I can’t wait for my trip to Melbourne/ Sydney next week! Will be meeting up with my parents and relatives there when I head east to attend a cousin’s wedding. I really need some family/ break time… Can’t wait can’t wait!

You may not know, but this kid – Sungha Jung is a genius with his little fingers playing wonders! Amazingly, he’s only only 12. I presume he started playing guitar sometime in 2005… when he’s known in YouTube, he was just 11. This was in 2007, when I coincidently stumbled across his YouTube page and was totally blown away by his skills and precise clarity in playing. He plays fingerstyle guitar, a style/ technique of guitar playing which to me (a noob in guitar) is the highest of all that you can learn, rather than just plain strumming and picking single notes at a time. He plays the ‘finger picking’ style… by alone he is able to play out an entire song in acoustic.

Me, being the rather emotional kind, felt so touched and amazed till my eyes were watery when I see him play. I can’t believe this kid! I am sure there’s plenty amazing kids around with great talents, plus with some styles of his own. But so far, this is one only that I discovered and known of to have such amazing skills and talent. I do respect the veterans in guitar playing and admire this guitarist – Kotaro Oshio, which to me is my favorite. He plays Kotaro’s songs well enough for me to believe it’s Kotaro himself playing! This kid  deserves great respect, not just from me the little YouTube audience but too many pro- and amateur guitarists. Hey… he even composed a song! How good is that! Watch it here.

This is a wonder kid… he’ll definitely go far with his loved instrument and his precious little fingers. *Salute*

One of my favorite song from Kotaro… note his little fingers playing wonders.
