I'm screaming "I love you so" but my thoughts you can't decode

Madness. Apparently it seems I'm so caught up in my thoughts and have totally gone bonkers from all the pressure of it. I've never found myself so involved in something like this so emotional or dramatic whatever suits the situation, I admit it's my first. I've never been so fed up with myself. I've been having sleepless nights since Christmas eve, and it's taking a toll on me. I just learned something new about myself though, that I tend to eat a hell lot when I get into this state. Also for instance the first few words that came out of Shahrir's mouth when I saw him today was that I looked pale. I couldn't make sure of it myself cause there wasn't a mirror nearby. -.- What do I look like, a vampire? haha. Which leads me to the next topic;
Twilight. I watched it a couple of days ago and what's with all the disappointment? It was alright (remember my theory and I haven't read the book)! I thought it's worth the ticket money, also the storyline is something very unique as compared to other love stories. I mean it's always about one human battling for his raging love for another human, but this. This is vampires. Very interesting point of view for a change. haha. Although I guess it's dpdp, as always (Quoted from Cass :P). But what got me hyped up (sorta) for Twilight was when I was checking the soundtrack at HMV Heeren while waiting for the screening time, and I saw MUSE's Supermassive Blackhole as one of the track! The first track to it in fact. Bloody hell, all my hopes shot right up for Twilight that I was starting to get paranoid it would disappoint me too. Hahaha. But the latest hit "Decode" by Paramore totally go me HOOKED. And I mean hooked like it's playing like a broken record in my mind, and whenever I pick up my guitar I will definitely, instinctively, play the "unreal" riff from Decode. And the acoustic version of it is nothing short of brilliant. It is by far the best Paramore has to offer, for me. Which leads me to another topic again;
Holidays are nearly over, ZOMG! But it's alright, I've got one HUGE THING to look forward to next year.TALENT QUEST '09! For those who are already lost on wth am I talking about, visit here. Exactly what you're thinking. My band is participating! TOTALLY GOT ME EXCITED AND PUMPING MAN! HAHAHA. That's cause this is the first time the band has ever decided to take a higher and serious step in the local music industry. So it's all very new to me and most others. Thus, I pray that we will benefit from the experience and at least make it through the auditions (which is this Sunday, 5th Jan). But heck, we're aiming all the way! WOOHOO! I'll introduce you to the band first.
Band name: Decent Outbreak (D.O.) Formation date: Unconfirmed Consists of:
Shazlin (Vocalist) - my primary school ex-classmate, best friends since then
Shahrir (Rhythm Guitarist) - Shazlin's current schoolmate
Josiah (Drummer) - Shi Hng's ex-colleague's friend
Shi Hng (Bassist) - my secondary school ex-classmate for all 4 years, my chinese brother from another mother
Syazwan (Lead Guitarist) - Me, of course
No sorry but unfortunately I won't be putting any pictures up for recognititon and yes, female vocalist. Inevitably, apparently, we cover Paramore songs (especially Decode! WAHAHAHA). Most of the genres we cover are punk/pop/rock/alternative. However our influences vary widely among the individual band members. Shazlin and Shahrir are pretty into the same thing, punk/rock/alternative. Josiah's into acid jazz. Shi Hng's is punk/rock/alternative/screamo/metal. Mine would be progressive rock/classical/alternative/pop. Which is good for the band I think, because of the wide exposure of range of music that we have that we can and hopefully might be able to blend and mix the variety to see fit in creating our originals. Currently we have 2 originals. One is fully complete while the other has the guitar/vocals/piano parts down. We have never performed live yet, that is why hopefully through the competition we can gain valuable experiences and opportunities. If we ever make it through the auditions that is.
All in all, with all the frustrating thoughts messing up my mind I'm glad I have the band as a distraction. I tried to get a job for the same reason but to no avail. The band is all I have now. Now I see why they say your band is a disfunctional family (quoted from the loading screen of Guitar Hero III). Hahaha. This Sunday huh. Then let's do this. (:
P.S. I found the trailer to the movie "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence" that I mentioned in a recent post. I'm gonna just put it here in case you're interested. hahaha. It's um... weirdly interesting.
The people he grew up with has grown fond of just calling him Syaz, Syazi or Wan. Preferrably Syaz.

Tossed into the wildlife of Republic Polytechnic on 2008.
He is notoriously known for being forgetful, messy and a bad cook.
And no he's not something to step on like a piece of fabric made of plaited or woven rushes, straw, hemp, or similar fiber, or of some other pliant material, as rubber, used as a protective covering on a floor, like a mat.
No he's not even legally a Malay.
A man of few words, but a man of his words nonetheless.
