Alternative Rock
If you are to identify yourself by a genre of music, what would it be?
Personally, I would say I'm Alternative Rock, and I'm quite a big fan of Alternative Rock. Some say that Alternative Rock are for pussies (as in gays and/or guys that are weak), while I beg to differ. Alternative Rock, personally, is what I would identify as music that a mid-way between Pop and Rock, nothing too BANG, nothing to LOUD, nor solely BALAD-like or soothing to the ear.
I shall now idenify some bands that, if I'm not mistaken, are catergorised under this umbrella. I would say bands like Daughtry (One of my favourites), Hey Monday, Paramore, FM Static, Boys Like Girls, All-American Rejects, (maybe) Click Five (and) Coldplay, Faber Drive, and The Fray are alternative rock bands. Not too sure if my catergorisation is correct though (feel free to correct me if I am).
You would notice that Hey Monday and Paramore are the only two bands with female vocals, well yes you are right on that! I'll say that I'm underexposed to female vocals, and that would be due to fact that I prefer to listen to songs that I can SING along too.
Not to worry balad-lovers (or pop-music-lovers) out there! I still love ballads and pop! Awesome! Westlife, Backstreet Boys are still found on my Top 50 and Top 25 playlist!
Recalls...
that I still haven't done any revision today. DAMN!
that I still have another story to tell!
7th Lunar Month
Yeap! This is the next topic! The Hungry Ghost Festival! This story goes back to the time when I was in primary school, when I was still having tuition (for Science and English) at the A* tuition centre a block away from where I stay...
Back then whenever it was the Hungry Ghost Festival, after tuition I would fly pass the joss-sticks along the pathway as fast as I could and then when I come out of the lift, I would fly and make sure that when I run my footsteps can be heard, and in the lift I would chant "Amitabha". The reason as to why I would make sure I make as much noise (without disturbing the neighbours to the extent they would run out of their homes and scold me) was to let my presence be made known so that should anything happen to me surely someone would know, or so I believed.
But these years, unless I have been previously reminded, Hungry Ghost Festival would never be on my mind and life would just be how it would be usually without the month of August (assuming the Festival falls in August) being labeled as the 7th Lunar Month, or the Hungry Ghost Festival month. So I never really had to chant "Amitabha", and would constantly convince and remind myself that I'm an atheist so it doesn't make sense that I'm fearing something that I don't believe exist. But I guess to "belief" is better than not, it's the "play safe" attitude I guess, it's better to not cross the line in general.
Alright, I have to go. Shall do some work before I decide on playing DotA again. Sinning.. Ja-
