Thoughts and Memories

Just a man and his thoughts

I suck at titles.

Recently, I've been learning and playing the electric guitar. Well, to be exact, I've been learning it for around 2 months now. And well, being a fast learner, I picked it up pretty easily and quickly. I'm still not as good as other guitar players out there, but yeah... I'm making progress. I've always wanted to play the electric guitar, even since my secondary school days. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to do so at that time, and only begun learning it this year. What drove me on to finally learn the electric guitar? Well, you wouldn't believe it, but it's a song. A video to be exact. A video of a bunch of Japanese people playing "Don't Say Lazy" by Yoko Hikasa. I was so impressed by them, that I went to sign up for the electric guitar lesson the next day. And well, part of me wants to be like them. Getting there slowly I guess...

Unfortunately, this brings up two issues. Number 1, I have not been practising on my drawing at all. Number 2, I came to the realization that I enjoy playing the guitar very much. So much, that I feel that I can join some band and play the guitar for a living in the future. Don't get me wrong though. My primary goal is still being a mangaka. If I can play the guitar while I'm at it (which I'll most definitely can), then why not? Works both way, and I can get extra revenue while I'm at it. I can't multi-task though... so if I end up doing one thing too much, I might not be able to cope with the other. Better discipline myself to divide attention properly. As for number 1, I can pretty much practise in school, during FYPJ, seeing as how my team has absolutely nothing to do. I can't draw well with people around though... It's just something I'm unable to conquer ever since secondary school. Something like an inner fear.


They say you tend to make similar friends. How right they are. Without going into too much detail, the friends I make have one similar trait. THEY ALL THINK TOO MUCH. Maybe it's just me, but damn. Decisions would be much easier to make if they just calm down and think straight-forward. Another similar trait is that they get pissed off over apparently nothing frequently. Well, I don't want to badmouth my friends, so I will just stop here. This applies to my secondary school friends as well as my polytechnic friends. Seriously, if you guys ever stumble upon this blog and read this. Stop please. The secondary school friend in question MAY already be "cured" of all that I've listed down after he went into the army, but I wouldn't know for sure yet. I haven't sat down and talked to him ever since he went into the army. But he certainly look and sounds better now, that's for sure.

And that's it.

5 months remaining till graduation.
