Sorry, I'm busy
Ok, its been a long time since I've been blogging. I think its almost a week or two. Anyway, I'm kinda busy this past few days. Now I'm left with data communications exam and I can tell you how relax I am. Maybe its becoz I'm already having this holiday mood, since I've been studying my ass out for both C programming and data communications. Or maybe its just that I'm pretty confident that I'll pass this two exams, though it may not be in flying colours. But I can honestly tell you that I'm kinda prepared to take both of the exams(excluding C pro coz apparently I took the exam last Friday...) .I can also predict that I'm failing two modules. Both IAD and Japanese. Lets just say, one was becoz the lecturer did'nt want to accept my project work(she really wants me to present to her even though I've handed in my project...) and one was becoz I did'nt study for it at all. So ya, tight tight schedule for me next semester...
Man, after this exams I wanna chill and have fun with all my frens. Both my ex-secondary school friends and my poly friends. Coz I kinda miss that thing called fun. Haha, for once I wanna go out and do the things I love the most. Maybe catch a movie, play pool or have a game of soccer. Hmmz, but then again, I need to find a job. Seriously. If I wanna do all this kind of fun, surely they need money. And rite now...I dun have any!
I'm at my cousin's place and the mood here to study is a bit...boring. Maybe its the chi or something. Haha, home is still the best place. But I decided to stay for another day becoz I kinda miss my cousin too and the distance to school to study with my frens for tomorrow is quite near. Only a bus trip. But the MAIN reason why I really decided to stay is becoz tonite's the Carling Cup final, Man U vs Wigan, which I am so looking forward to it.
And erm, I miss jamming too! Man, and next Saturday I'm going to M'sia to visit my cousins for a couple of days, which means no jamming session! Facade is learning fast man, I'm so proud of them. Though I must say, there's always conflicts in every band. And I hope my bro can really, work it out. I don't want him to just break up in such a short time just becoz some of our mates dun agree on certain songs played and all that shit. I think they really got potentials. And we're kinda prepared for gigs, if there is one currently...
Wassallam.

Radio
Man, can you imagine being interviewed by Ria 89.7 FM for a topic on peer pressure? Especially when they're interviewing you during your jamming session? That happened to me and my bandmates today...
Hehe, so if you guys were to be tuning in to Ria 89.7 FM around 4.20-30 pm on a Saturday afternoon, that's me being interviewed, Nor Hidayat. Hehe, and man I was sweating when brother Bo was asking me questions. But damn is he nice and cool and all that. Me and my bandmates were damn lucky to be on a "live feed" that afternoon...
After all this while, we din noe that the pronounciation of Facade was actually fa-sad, and NOT fac-ade. Its suppose to be our band name lah, and brother Bo corrected us. Haha...and come to think of it, pronouncing fa-sad seems to be somewhat gay. I must say, we can be mistaken for being a pop group! XD
Exams are in a week's time and I've not started studying yet. So far, all my projects EXCEPT my C programming flow chart has not been submitted. Wargh!

Making the band
What makes a great band and a good band?
A good band thinks that they play it right and feels satisfied if they hit all their notes perfectly. Every tune and every beat is similar to the real song itself.
Whereas a great band, not only perfect it. But they change it, so much that they even modified what they think might perfect the song even more. Like adding in their own creativity, tune and rhythm. It show's how much they wanna go on and make the song a much more better one...
Also, a good band will always think they have the right tools, the most expensive guitars and the most experience band-mates ever. That they think they've enough to acquire a band who can play any type of songs and even genres.
Whereas a great band, does'nt matter what instruments they play, and how much it cost and also whether they've enough experience to go the distance. For them, every jamming session is a learning experience. And not only that, they tend to play more than one instrument, so that they can be much more productive. Other than that, they too learn from experienced bands on ideas so that they too, can learn a lot more and someday pass on to others. They are not afriad of taking risks, asking for help and even try on different things and playing methods because to them, every jamming session is a learning experience...
I admire how my bro is bringing up his band. It just reminds me of the time I used to be in a band. All my seniors were patient to me, so professional. They can be both a great bandmates and friends. And I'm trying to pass on what I've learn to my bro's vocalists so that they too, can do better. =)
I'm thinking random just to kill some time before I start doing my projects again. This week's gonna be a stressful week. And I've learn to cope well with it, Alhamdullilah. Nowadays, I'll try not to ponder on problems that may affect my studies. Just, let it go.And I'm going cycling and fishing with luie later! Goodie, I'm taking up a new hobby man... XD

Come what may...
Man, I'm having a torrid time. I'm feeling so sick from the inside. Sick of all those freakin bastards, pretenders and arseholes who think its funny to use others just to make them feel better. And in the end, he the innocent one got that feeling of guilt from his friend and he left himself clueless as what the hell happened. And you found out the reason, knowing the truth is sometimes the most painful thing other than telling your friends that you were being used...
I'm sick and tired of all these people. If you think its cool that you're doing this to a friend, well congratulations. You've got your last laugh. Now listen, would it be something cowardly that YOU find yourself in an anonymous an in someone's name instead, just so that YOU can enjoy that satisfaction for YOUR own pleasure. Whatever YOU are, I'm just glad you feel better now. Coz YOU made me miserable. And I was left speechless, knowing that I got to be that lucky person out of so many candidates you can supposely choose from. And a wide variety I must say...
I got my own problems to think about. Please, I beg of you. Whatever you are, I hope you finally get what you wanted. Coz I got my own things to think about. And ya, if my dear friend knows me well, I hope she's not fooled by your petty "coward-ness". Coz I trust her that she won't. But even if she did, I can only say that I'm sorry. I'll take that blame willingly, just for your own sake. Now, are you happy that I'm taking this responsibility?
