Makes Me Wonder.

Three guesses who am I listening to now?

Haha.

Anyhows, I was listening to that song, and I still find it very catchy. Talk about commercialised songs. I don't have Maroon 5's original album, nor do I update myself with the producers that comes up with the album (Something I should do VERY soon, by the way), but there's definitely a slight change of their songs. I'm not sure if it is the usual recording label's politics, or they matured in a musical sense?

Could be anything.

I know Dream Theater's record label hired some producer to make some of their songs sounds commercialised. I'm not sure if Through Her Eyes is one of them, but I can tell you one thing. It's bloody good and extremely sentimental. It's kind of short for a song, but if you follow their conceptual album - Scenes From A Memory - it's a very good transition. Not the climax, but a mellow drop. I don't mean that in a bad way, but I find it very.. nice.

But anyways, it's 4.43am in the morning, and I can't sleep. I just woke up out of nowhere, and trying to sleep with the oddest positions, but nothing worked. Haha.

While preparing a quick meal of disgusting but healthy quaker oats, I was thinking back about.. How badly I did in high school back in Penang. And how I always arrived to school late, always got marked down by a lot of teachers. Then the discipline teachers. Then the assistant headmasters. THEN the headmaster himself.

.. And being the black sheep of the family. In what sense? Oh. I was a prefect and I only lived 2 2 large and 1 mini corners away from school. Yet, I went late without fail everyday. Until today, I still owe one of the assistant headmaster a letter explaining why I come late everyday for about.. I don't know? 7 years now? Haha.

Those were the days. Honestly speaking, I miss the friends there. The ones I hated, and the ones I liked hanging around with, and the people I felt like strangling myself. But one thing about me.. Or them. We never hung out as a group outside of school. Probably wasn't the coolest thing to do?

.. Nerds. Lol

But besides that, right, I remember I did do badly in school. I remembered taking 10 subjects in total, always failing 5, and passing the other 5. Sometimes it's failing 6 to 8, and passing only 4 to 2 subjects. It's really insane. I scared the crap out of my parents like usual.. SPM came by, and I only failed 1 subject. But how many I got credits for, was another whole different story.

And now, I'm all alone. In KL/Selangor side, working my butt off in college when it's not too stressful, and taking it super easy when it gets really stressful. I still do music, but not on a very heavy scale now, compared to last time, just that I take it as a religion now.

Gah.

I don't know that either if I got smarter, or.. it just feels easier?

I still get confused from time to time seeing what I'm doing, comparing it to my passion for music. It's two different fields. But if the vocalist from Frequency Cannon is a dentist by day, and a rocker by night.. I guess I'm not the only one in the music scene?

Odd..



Okay, I'm making no sense now!
