The Black Bat is back
This time with a Big Fat Rat
Now it’s a matter of time before they are dead
Then I can finally clap hey yeah

The Loft that I got turns out to be a tiny filthy block
And somehow the ceiling is just too low to rock
So much so that I got to bend down like a dog
I need another ladder to get me up to The Real Loft
Then I can finally flap wide and hot

Pray for me.

STOP Wannabes From Setting Creative Shops

2008-02-13T00:33:00.000+08:00

A creative services company should not run like a fast food chain

You don’t try to do it simple
so you can deliver fast

You don’t give people what they order
so you can get their money

That’s not creativity

That’s a factory

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of These

2008-01-03T16:00:00.000+08:00

I had been away …
Dealing with the day to day
During this short break
New beginnings I create

I was walking in the Labyrinth
gathering blooms among the glooms
racing my time before the 13th hour strike

Soon came the day …

As the world falls down
At the chime of halo
I sealed my fate with the Jareth rebirthed

Then came another day …

I sent a greeting up to the North
Never to expect, Old Santa’s visit
He gave me a ladder which I really needed
Now I can get up the loft which I always wanted

So as you can see
It has so far been nice & sweet
I hope it will continue to stay really neat

Happy New Year to you ,
A Great Year Ahead for all ,
Peace to The World .

Join The Madness

2007-11-28T13:35:00.000+08:00

Among the madness,
I find time to indulge more madness

Love The Monty Python, barking mad!

================================================

Monty Python Who?

Monty Python, or The Pythons, is the collective name of
the creators of Monty Python's Flying Circus,
a British television comedy sketch show
that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969.

The creators :
Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam,
Eric Idle, Terry Jones & Michael Palin.

The group's influence on comedy has often been compared to
The Beatles' influence on music. A self-contained comedy team
responsible for both writing and performing their work, they changed
the way performers entertained audiences. The Pythons'
creative control allowed them to experiment with form and content,
discarding the established rules of television comedy. Their influence
on British comedy of all kinds has been apparent for many years,
while in America it has coloured the work of many cult performers
from the early editions of Saturday Night Live through to more recent
absurdist trends in television comedy.

'Pythonesque' has entered the English lexicon as a result.

Man, It Was Long !

2007-11-16T12:29:00.000+08:00

Phew,
It was a long day.
A bloody long day.

From 11am yesterday till 5am this morning
I've been sitting in front of this computer
typing, mousing, clicking, rushing together a proposal

OK, I slacked between 1pm to 4pm,
and break for dinner between 6pm to 8pm,
still it was a long day.

I ended with heavy eyelids
painful eyeballs
stiff neck
numbing right arm,
in particular right palm and fingers

I took a 5 hours snooze
up again at 10am
and my right arm is till heavy
palm still numb numb
it is scary

Circulate blood circulate!

Anyway,
it is all worth it
hope my hardwork pay off.

It's A Sad World ...

2007-11-13T23:11:00.000+08:00

Stumbled across a number of news on people I know,
people whom I worked with before,
people whom have never done anything in their lives,
but had so much confidence in them,
nothing shake them,
it's amazing, it's disgusting.

These people are doing well,
doing better each time I read their names here or there,
their resumes seems to become more impressive each time,
only they all claimed other people's credits as their own,
claiming other people's jobs as own.
Liars.
No conscience exist.
It's disgusting, it's depressing.

As the list of disgust gets longer,
As more wank their way up,
The rest of us can just depress our way out...

More Nightmare

2007-10-03T15:15:00.000+08:00

I was still walking down this Yellow Brick Road
when I felt my back being poked

I turned and saw The Footballer
He sobbed and asked if I saw his lover
He cried and said he had fever

Did he sobbed cause he was in pain
Or cried because he lost his dame ?

Whatever it is, he needs to pass that test
In the meantime, I wished him the best
While waiting for him, I could only sit and rest …

I hope I wake up soon …

Message in a bottle
posed as a spot on tube
Message written with emptiness
will it echo the feel ?
Message sung
Message shared
I know there are more hanging there
But need another hand to get out there

========================================================

This unplugged version of "Message In A Bottle"
performed by Sting of The Police is right on time, in me.
Also sharing this great song in its original version
(that's very ska, great arrangement)

“MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE” was released in 1979.
It is a song from The Police’s second album, Reggatta de Blanc.
The single was The Police’s first Number One hit in the UK.

Nightmare

2007-09-17T21:59:00.000+08:00

I think The Tall Man got trippy
Things became more than mad really

The Ballerina whom I would bow in 3 months to go
Checked out 2 weeks ago before I can say hello

I decided to send her missing shoe there
Only to discover The Pig was never quite fed
The idea might be better off as the invisible air

‘… Well the Ballerina needs attended to …’
Said The Musician who needs more tools
Looks like it will probably cost another two

I stumbled upon a letter from The Paper Man
And found The Artist swimming in quicksand

I calmed my nerves
Kept the verves
Worked out the numbers
Now it seemed like a lesser problem

‘ What I need is The Silver Line,
So I can help The Artist fly ’

As I get on The Yellow Brick Road
A Little Bird came asking for some gold
So I gave it gold, as I had nowhere to go

Only to find The Little Bird turned into a Big Black Bat
And demanded something more than that
‘ You and your friend get yourselves out of my track! ’
I just felt like dropping dead
I might as well die today…

Something appeared before me
It was A Fox who came to offer me tea
I accepted the gift and gave The Bat a sip
Guess what? The Bat fell asleep!

I tipped toe past The sleeping Bat
And got back where I was left

I got to get to the end of The Yellow Brick Road
... find more tea for The Bat
... write a letter back to The Paper Man
... get more tools for The Musician
... say hello to The Ballerina
... find The Silver Line for The Artist
... get The Pig fed
... and among all that never let The Ring slip off my hand

I hope I wake up soon …

Maybe I Was Born To Run

2007-08-28T00:43:00.000+08:00

I celebrated the spirit of 1975 on Saturday, 25 August,
I watched Bruce Springsteen’s 1975 concert on the DVD.
And? Exhilarating.

The Boss and The E Street Band,
man, are just pure Rock N Roll machines.

I’ve to admit -
my respect for The Boss has only grew.
I feel his intense passion for music,
passion to perform, passion in life.
It all comes across in real honesty.
And, he is a real talent.

If The Brits have the best quirk in words & lyrics,
The Boss has a way with musical arrangements, in my opinion.
It’s Rock N Roll on roller coaster – you get exciting surprises.

Another thing worth a mention – The Boss’ fans, the concert goers.
What’s special? Watch this.

With that, I award those who attend the above
Bruce Springsteen Barcelona 2002 Concert,
- The Best Rocking Audience.

Bruced Again

2007-08-24T12:58:00.000+08:00

I was absolutely thrilled with BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’s
1973 ‘live’ performance of song "THUNDERCRACK"
(one of the featured rare clip in the documantary disc),
the soul, the fun, the passion, the whole unpredictability…
it was so cracking good!

It would be the ideal one to share, but wasn't posted on youtube,
instead I found this Fan Video of BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’s
2003 performance of the same song "THUNDERCRACK"
with a slightly different play.

Nonetheless, yet another one to get your feet tapping.

Turn up the volume. Turn it up real real loud.

Bruise Me Bruce, The Rock N Roll Way

2007-08-21T01:11:00.000+08:00

Picture from Amazon

Over the weekend, went to do a little music shopping.
Bought BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’s
“Born To Run” 30th Anniversary Edition.
A 3-Disc Set -
- One Audio CD (a remaster of “Born To Run”)
- One 90 mins Documentary DVD (on the album “Born To Run”,
plus rare clips)
- One 2 hours Concert DVD (‘live’ London 1975)

Picture from Amazon

Seeing it displayed prominently on the rack,
(OK, the ‘summer sale’ rack),
I assumed this year is its 30th year.
(I was wrong)
Did a quick check on google, and I realised
it would be the 32nd year this Saturday, August 25!

Woah!

So I spent Sunday listening the CD & watching the documentary
(& the rare concert clips).

Man, eye opener, ear opener, brain opener, heart opener,
& yes, had my mouth opened too.

You see, I called myself a product from Generation Lost,
I love Rock N Roll but only learn the true spirit in recent years…
and so, having spent Sunday with The Boss,
hearing, watching, feeling his passion (& intensity),
his energy, his talent, his soul, his honesty,
and more passion, help found me missings !

Now, I am still left with the Concert DVD to watch,
but it would be so timely for me to do it this Saturday,
32 years on rocking to 32 years back, an experience I can’t wait!
So go listen some BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN on this special day.

Let’s all hail to Rock N Roll !

Here’s a youtube video featuring the London performance of
the song “BORN TO RUN” at the 1975 “BORN TO RUN Tour”

Also check out this rare & raw video featuring
a 1978 ‘live’ performance of the song.

“BORN TO RUN” (also title of) Bruce Springsteen's third album,
was a breakthrough hit and launched his career in the
U.S. & around the World.

The album's reputation has not suffered over time.
Rolling Stone’s 2003 list (most current list)
ranked “BORN TO RUN” at number 18 of
the greatest 500 albums of all time.

Volume is quite soft. Turn it up.

Looking Back For Cure

2007-08-06T23:00:00.000+08:00

* * * JUST LIKE HEAVEN * * *

As posted before,
The Cure performed in Fine City Singapore
for a night on 1 August 2007, and yes, I was there !

I gave The Cure ...... my first time ..... it was my first concert

(I'm not that young, it's just that I start late!)

I’ve to admit, it was a fine experience
but wasn't what I was anticipating,
I was anticipating the orgasmic !

Anyway what matters now is –

I AM FAA-KING MISSING IT !

So I spent the weekend, sucking up any available images,
magnified the moment and relived using my ears... it was great ~

* * * PICTURES OF YOU * * *

Over the days, I've also gathered a handful of
concert pictures from my newly acquainted online friends
from The CureForFineCity Forum. I have gained their
respective approval, and here I share them on this blog.

My alter-ego holding my prized possession

While I paid for my John Lennon CD & DVD ,
I suddenly remembered my brother telling me about seeing a
promo poster for The Cure Concert 2007 in this same store a
couple of weeks ago.

So I asked the girl at the counter -
if they have any poster of The Cure that they can give me.
The girl looked confused, asked her colleague,2 of them
mumbled a bit, and disappeared into the storeroom.
A few minutes later, they emerged out with a half-A3 hard-back
promo poster of The Cure Concert 2007 !

Oh, on top of the promo poster, I am also the lucky owner of a couple

of promo postcards of The Cure, when I stumbled upon them before
my meeting earlier today.

I think tonight I will smile my way to bed while counting down
Cure for Fine City .

I'm really happy, had a great great day

My alter-ego holding my copies of the music & film.

I found the Music Soundtrack CD and the Movie DVD
of the documentary " The U.S. VS. John Lennon "
at a music store and I bought both !

Just a few weeks back,
I was complaining about the film not making to this part
of the world. Now that it's finally here in DVD, even better!
Will be listening to the CD tomorrow.
Will be watching the DVD this weekend.

Can't wait!

I had previously twice posted video from Youtube
featuring Roger Waters' 'live' performance of
"Another Brick In The Wall" at the LIVE EARTH concert.

I felt it was such an appropriate moment
to share such a statement made.

So I dedicated this week for LIVE EARTH Concert
and encouraged my fellow readers & friends
to visit their official msn link & view rest of the acts.
Anyway, as expected, corporation rules.
Most of the videos had been removed.

That brings me to bring forward my plan
to share with you PINK FLOYD's THE WALL The Movie.

I've found this great compilation of the movie's
"Another Brick In The Wall" Part 1, 2 and 3,
in proper video & sound quality.

I've posted the above said video previously, however since
it had been removed from the tube, here it's the clip of
"Another Brick In The Wall" Part 2

1967 : The Year Beatles Spread Love

2007-07-11T15:33:00.000+08:00

What a great discovery!
I found this rare treat on youtube and I just want to share.
Featuring THE BEATLES performing 'live' 1st time on T.V.
for the song 'ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE'.

THE BEATLES first performed it on OUR WORLD,
the first ever live global television link.
Broadcast to 26 countries and watched by 350 million people,
the programme was broadcast via satellite on June 25, 1967.
The BBC had commissioned THE BEATLES to write a song for
the UK's contribution and this was the result.

(Also, look out for a young Mick Jagger.)

'ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE' is a song

written by John Lennon with contributions from Paul McCartney
and credited to Lennon/McCartney.

It is among the most famous and significant songs
performed by THE BEATLES .

LIVE EARTH Concert (Updated)

I've watched LIVE EARTH, not entirely, of course.
I watched it on msn, watched mainly the London concert,
and here & there every now & then.

As I'm over at the Far East,
my sleeping hours is a bit of a mess now,
I'm between unconsciousness as I wrote.

Anyway a picture says a thousand words,
visit LIVE EARTH @ msn to watch concert-on-demand.

[ Update on video clips ]
I had previously shared on this blog a few concert clips from youtube,
but sadly they have been taken off the tube. So for now, you can only
watch all the clips from their official website at liveearth.msn.com

Visited By The Strange

2007-07-04T11:22:00.000+08:00

I was reading the morning papers
while having my breakfast.
The doorbell rang.
I peered through the peephole.

There were 2 men -
Man, they look like twins.
What do they want?

I opened the door
but kept the gate locked.

Standing before me,
the 2 men are of
similar built,
same height.

Both in glasses.
Identical hairstyle,
greased and parted to their right.

Identical black canvas briefcases,
although slinged on different shoulders,
they were held the same way in their hands.

Identical black pants with identical black shoes.
Even their long sleeve shirts are folded identically.

Their shirts are of different colour
but they came from the same pastel family.

The one standing closer to the door,
wore a lavender coloured shirt.
The other standing a feet behind
wore a pink coloured one.

Both have this same grin moulded into their faces.

Freaky.

Are they ....

"Good Morning." The lavender man greeted.
"Good Morning." I replied.

Salesmen?

The lavender man continued,
"We were around this area..."

Environment inspectors?

"... And thought of paying you a visit..."

Government surveyors?

" We came to share with you the future of mankind "

Oh god.

Most Hated Thing is ...

2007-07-03T17:53:00.000+08:00

... Forms ... ... ... yah, any kind of Forms !

Job application forms, tax forms
banks/clubs/etc application forms,
subscription forms, contest forms,
lucky draw forms, yah, even lucky draw forms !

To be exact - I hate filling up forms.
It's always designed in such a way
to get as much information
in the most confusing manner possible!

And the worst of the worst,
The mother of all forms -
ONLINE FORMS !

By the way ~

Question to ponder -

Why are online forms always asking too much?

Evolution of Personal Portable Music Players

2007-07-01T00:25:00.000+08:00

As far as I can remember,
my first encounter with a portable media player
was when I was small,
young and small.

I didn't own one,
my folks couldn't afford one,
but you would hear one
somewhere 'singing' to everyone
on every other crowded public bus.

To be accurate,
it was far from 'singing',
it was what I called 'zschzing',
cause that was what it exactly sounds like,
coming out from a transistor radio -
zipping in & out of the frequency,
with the DJ, and some bands, then it cut to Mr Darkie Man.

As I grew a little older,
the 'zschzing' was hardly there,
instead were the buttons flipping 'tack tack',
as the players were now taking casettes.

Quickly, as time moves on,
when headphones take on,
anywhere outside your head,
the only sound was dead.

It was around the same time,
when I finally owned my first prize,
my very own Walkman player,
which I learn painting using only ears.

Soon the paintings I did became than life larger,
as the bass, treble and eq things,
keep getting louder & better.

As I grew taller,
and of course much older,
I got my second gift when it was about to leave,
this times it plays flat round things called CD,
which now makes my paintings go shiny.

Years have passed,
another new form surpassed,
this time it comes in quite tiny,
called itself MP3.

Out buried many bulky players,
replaced were flat white posers,
few thousand musicians on the go,
all for the sake of every busy urban joe.

Slowly disconnected from the outside world,
as more artists resigned to retreat into dream world,
the giants have now invented a new form,
which conveniently plants into your phones.

Now you can zip from dream to reality,
first you hear the DJ, and some bands,
then you talk to Mr Insurance Man.

All sound good till you listen for good,
somehow the sound was not as good,
with earphones ditched, it tuned up loud & rude.
The sound is now thin, like in a can of tin,
back comes the constant 'zschzing',
everywhere annoying,
every living thing.

And that's my recollection of
The Evolution of Personal Portable Music Players.

Craving ...

2007-06-21T22:49:00.000+08:00

I got a craving for ...
songs by The Beatles,
in particular from album
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band !

It's kind of weird!

Shame on me,
was only into their songs not so long ago ...
Ignorance!

Anyway,
just surfed from back Youtube &
loathed a chunk of the said music.
So here, I share a clip of the
same titled song from cult animated film
"The Beatles Yellow Submarine".

By the way,
if you haven't watch the film,
GO BUY IT ! [ Support Original ]

In fact I need to buy one too,
my mouldy vhs copy needs to be replaced!
(Yap, DVD copy this time)

One Less Scumbag

2007-06-19T22:00:00.000+08:00

700 Less Scumbags on Earth, actually !

As heard from the NEWS earlier,
the British Police smashed a global paedophile network
operating in 35 countries and identified 700 of its members.

It was not just a case of obssesssion with the perverse
but many committed child abuse.

Half of those suspects, including teachers and others (BASTARDS!)
in positions of trust or with access to children,
have already been arrested, charged or convicted.
The other 100 are under police investigation.

I say, "Good job in the crackdown ... "
" ... Flush the scumbags out the Earth."
Literally please.

Tagline

Had proposed a tagline for The Cure concert merchandise -

"CURE For The FINE CITY"

(copyright MyLifeLounge 2007)

Faa-King Great!

2007-06-14T15:13:00.000+08:00

Faa-King Great! Faa-King Great!

Just surfed back from the local ticketing website for The Cure concert,
and found the originally typed concert duration of 75mins was changed
to a cool 150mins!

Better still, my appeal (for a longer duration), along with others,
posted on The Cure official website, prompted Robert Smith
(yeah! the front man of The Cure, yes that same man!) to reply!

"Ha! Try 180mins!!!", posted Robert Smith.

Oh boy, I'm in heaven ~

I'm so happy that l shall share my joy by
posting another music video by The Cure.
This video "Why Can't I Be You" is just great fun.

The ticketing sales for THE CURE concert opened 2 hours ago,

Hoo~Hoo !!!

No No No !!!
The concert will only go at a bloody 75 minutes,
and I'VE ALREADY GOT THE TIXs at a price for usual 2.5hours concert !!!
Doh !!!

Well Well Well !!!
At least it'll be a superb experience,
a credible band,
my best friend in tow,
my first concert !!! (PS - I'm not that young)
Rock My World !!!

Now, how shall I dress for that day?

High Then Dry

2007-06-07T16:02:00.000+08:00

Like the weather,
sometimes hot & sunny & passionate,
sometimes cold & pissing & miserable.

At best, 'Lennon & Yoko'
At odds, 'Lemon & Ono'

I thought I know you a little more than others ,
only to feel I know a little of you just like others.

It's getting scary,
but strangely, also boring...

So Much ...

2007-05-30T11:40:00.000+08:00

So much has happened

So much frustration , depression , agitation , confusion

Yah , that's why I haven't being here

But does anyone really care ?

I Feel The Earth Moved

2007-03-06T14:20:00.000+08:00

Yeah... I felt that a while ago
I was in front of the computer and felt disorientated
I had been getting headaches for a week now
"So is it my head then?"
I turned around and stared at the glass displays
They were moving...
Hmm no good...
It was the tremour from the earthquake neighbouring country
I got up from my chair and moved to the other corner of my room
Stood there waiting
And soon the tremours stopped.

Well, this is not the first time I felt strong tremours.
The worst was once when I got swung left and right,
like on a seesaw, like on a boat
I was sitting on a swivel chair then ... very disorientated

Anyway... back to work ...

Where is ....

2007-01-31T12:30:00.000+08:00

... my fringe ?
... my bang ?

2 times in a single month
2 hairstylists
1 single mindset
2 different treatment
1 same direction

What more can I say ?

Encounters With The Rude Kind

2006-11-13T22:56:00.000+08:00

Yah, I've encountered more rude people!
It seems especially worse when you are just being nice to them, damn!

The culprits :
- a trio of shoppers at the 7-Eleven store
- & the 2 very un-7-Eleven store attendants

Common to find general public behaving badly, although they should ideally be condemned.

It is however unforgivable to accept people holding positions in service industry behaving badly.

So to these people : Since you don't enjoy what you are doing, quit complaining & quit your job.

Q

Earlier This Week ...

I held the lift for some strangers,
advised some strangers on how to get to some place,
assisted in sorting out mess & putting in order,
did an appeal on behalf of some acquaintances,
being considerate, queued etc ...

But did I get any thanks ?
Not even a nod, a smile, an eye contact or any form of acknowledgement.

Question to ponder -

Why are there more & more rude people in the world ?

Too many deaths . Too much hatred . Too much stupidity .

A gloomy little day, today it is.
One I could see it coming,
One I did not forsee.
The one I did foresee, is the one that hasn't speak.
The one I awaited to be, is the one that turns bleak.
Eleven past Five marked the one turns bleak.
Five past Eleven came the one that hasn't speak.
Little it may seem, moody indeed is.
Indeed a little gloomy, today is it.

Will The Real Pop-litician Please Stand Up ?

2006-10-06T12:22:00.000+08:00

I remember watching the local news 3 days ago.

One such news made an impression on me. It was about a group of young Ministers giving a sneak preview of their newly learnt Hip-Hop dance moves, which they would perform in the coming parade. Their objective : if the youth can do the thang, we can too. (OK.....)

Politicians do the Hip Hop, the big top, the baggy pants, the bling, bit of rap, an arm in the air & possibly another hand down cupping the ... uh-hmm ... crotch ? (Gulp!)

This ain't the first time I saw, read, heard about policitians making various attempts to appear like One of Us, but it has come to the point that it's getting too much, too ridiculous. Worldwide, most behave the same - guilty of trying too hard. Who came up with some of these ideas?!! These made for TV ideas should only be seen in TV charity shows.

I don't know about you but I say drop the drama. Give me the firm hand shake, genuine smile & the firm 'hello' nod anytime. Go for a walk round the block often, talk to the people while there. Go with your entourage if you want, but drop the journalists and reporters please. They have much more important news to cover. Oh yes, don't carry any baby or kid, it's so cliche.

Am I too critical?

As I read a report by a local papers' journalist sharing similar views on the hip hop policitians thang, I guessed not.
