The Miser oTaK

hihi long time no see! sorry oTaK was rather.. OK no excuses, oTaK was juz plain lazy to pop by here recently! he's been v.troubled over certain issues lately..

btw DISCLAIMER: WHAT U ABOUT TO WITNESS HERE IS MOSTLY LARGELY EXAGGERATED, BLOWN UP FACTS. TRUE MAYBE THE THINGS THEY ARE BASED ON, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN EXAGGERATED TO A GREAT EXTENT, TO ACHEIVE THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WRITER. HOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, ITS UP TO YOUR OWN DISCRETION HOW MUCH TO BELIEVE THESE.

recently oTaK's life has really been pure misery.. okie i know oTaK's story is sooo chicken feet, compared to mine.. well most probably, cause as u might know oTaK's tolerance lvl of stress/anything else is pretty low.. so this is his way of trying to help himself to get through these times, his way of healing himself, so try to bear with his story okie?

well recently, especially the past 2 days has been nothing but hell for him.. he has been taking his every breath with difficulty (nooo, its not that he's about to die soon, well not so soon, its just that he managed to catch a serious flu @ sch from an unknown scource, as fast as... well the speed of oTaK can catch a flu!).. also, oTaK also have been having real trouble walking from pt to pt.. his every step taken cause him great distress, as his DAMN FUCKING FAN leg prob has just recently spread onto his right foot, similarly from an unknown cause, and struck him w/o no prior symptoms whatsoever.. special thanks go out to oTaK's clique mates, for being soo patient with this problematic ahpek in their group, whom never fail to bring a new problem to them each day.. thanks to u all for being soo patient with him, thinking of his problematic leg when considering to go to a far place, and has been taking the all-so-efficient-and-as-sparsely-crowded-as-a-early-morning-MRT lifts in NP.. special thanks to Lanker also, for the toilet paper & cough medicine! thanks thanks thanks!

besides these 2 FUCKING NIGGLING phy probs, of course what are these probs as compared to the affairs of the heart? after all, these things cannot be solved as quickly and as directly as... dunno maybe PTEC open book surprise quizzes? for what was once the main source of joy & pure bliss & happiness for oTaK, is now getting further and further.. but oTaK has vowed never to did what he did before, not because of other reasons but just following his heart.. the girl wch gave him all the feelings from A-Z :

23

oTaK says:
23.. quite a popular number.. beckham wears it.. michael jordan wore it and made it his own as well.. bt all these has none to do with me or what im going to say here whatsoever.. im writing abt 23 cause well... oh i sort of remembered that coincidentally happens to be my age.. well at least, the birth year on my IC shows 1986.. so 2009 - 1986 = 23.. wait a minute, does that mean im 23 this year? huh what? WHAT? 23 as in the age between 22 and 24? what serious? u must be kidding me! omg omg omg! no shit, i really really cannot believe this la.. just that not as 夸张 as i mught sound here.. but i seriously cannot believe im 23 already!

cause when i was younger (can allow me to say this, instead of when i WAS young.. i really dun wanna 任老 ma!), 23 was like an age sooo far away, i really couldn't picture myself in.. like how i simply cannot visualise myself when im at the ripe age of 50, needless to say beyond that.. i would think i would be dead before that.. im mean like serious, you might think im weird to think like this.. maybe this shows just how short sighted i am. come to think of it, i really am short sighted.. 400 degrees to be exact.. WAHAHAHA! JOKE LEH! yes im this short sighted.. after putting some thought into this, i think i know why i think like this.. hell i really love this ability of starting to understand myself/ how others think in recent days.. like somehow i can just totally get the person is thinking at the point of time, when i think in the person's shoes at that particular situation/time/other factors.. u do get me right?

i thought it and realised i think this way, cause im running away from reality, escaping the fact that im already past the age when a man is expected to be sensible, mature in thinking/behaviour/blablabla, responsible, blabla all else that's expected of a 23 year-old.. i've avoided facing this fact that i have to grow, for the past 2 years already.. avoided for 2 years that i've to start to behaving/acting/ok not act, just BE an adult. this year is sooo much more different from the past 2 years, this time around the stakes are soooo much higher.. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much higher, till i cannot describe to u, how important is this need to change to me.. this time around, im not alone. this time around, im not changing for myself.. in fact, if its for myself solely, it will be highly likely that i wont bother to change at all.. cause i simply dont quite give a damn about myself de what.. this time around, i NEED to change.. no two ways about this. cause if i remain the current, totally, in all ways, an unlike 23 year old, i know i would hurt that special someone in my heart again.. which i know i cannot afford to again.. so change i must! and change i will!

haiz well as sum1 told me, it is not about the age of a person, its more of the environment he/she is in that will shape the person.. so me in poly now, i really cannot picture myself behaving like an adult. i will sooo going to stick like a sore thumb.. and whats more, i've been behaving anything other than an adult througout my 3 years in poly.. to change suddenly, i think my classmates will totally freak out and ran away away from me la.. so yea, i must change, i cannot deny this fact.. but lets wait till i grad frm poly ba! in the meanwhile, i will step up and gear myself for the imminent BIG change!

SEE IM SOOO HELPFUL!

okie soo i hav a few dreams tis year.. these r juz my dreams, so pls dun feel obliged to go buy them to make me happy, if u find them too ex/ridiculous (yah rite, do u believe wat im sayin? hinthint: pls dun! im juz sayin these to appear polite & shy) N N updates will b shown here, if the presents hav ald been chopped n ppl hav ald bought them.. so stay tuned here for any updates k?

DP: Light at the End of the Tunnel

As the saying goes, there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.. So people, someone in particular, the one with the v.common Cina name, pls take note of this entry!

Beautiful Untitled Luv Story...

And so the story begins... Nooo this story is not going to begin with those "Once Upon A Time..." bullshit. But sad to say, this is similarly set a long, bloody long time ago.. In fact, as far back till the days, when Men can ride on their 马子publicly, and be casually proud of it. This is the part the main characters appear.. This being a love story, of course there's only two: the male and female lead.. As they say, Simplicity is Beauty.. So if you find this with too little main characters for your liking, not to worry.. I might just do another story with three sets of inter-twined love pyramids, just for you!

The female lead is called Princess Cassandra and her counterpart: Prince Jaren..

Princess Cassandra's father is a king, ruling over a land called 'Tanah Diraja' (Royal Land in the local language). Their palace is built upon a hilltop, overseeing the busy junction of the busy local trade routes on one side.. And another side overlooking at a nearby grass plain, where horse-riding is being taught to rich aristocrats and princes.

Princess Cassandra has a brother, it doesn’t matter what his name is (cause hes not the lead, as simple as that) And he is ALWAYS busy outside, either attending the horse riding lesson, compulsory to all male royalties and nobles alike. Or he would be

Warped Theory: Masses Hater!!!

The Original Manuscript

oTaK says:
harlo, people! sori 4 the long lapse in bloggin.. same reason: plain sloth. no excuses. bt now the warped theories r quickly piling up, and ive to release upon tis avenue.. wahaha! this i conjured whilst @ the bugis lib.. for more info, pls read on..

oh by the way, this is the 1st time ive done this.. scanning wat ive written n posting here.. u know im goin to paste in my diary after tis.. so u r fortunate to hav seen a part of my diary! chosen to blog abt tis cuz this is my warped theory.. and i intend to blog on all my warped theories, so as to share wif all of u wats going on inside my crazy lil mind.. and my views, observations & opinions on the dings goin ard us.. so all these is v.impt u know? enjoy!

the 'translation' (cuz i know even if u can see the tiny wordings, its almost impossible to comprehend the atrocious handwriting, even i carn understand nw la.. LOL):

pg1

18 Jun 09 (Thurs) @ Central Lib 5.56pm

this is a good habit, to spend sometime alone outside and recollect my thoughts and write my diary properly, peacefully, distraction-less...
Ironic, isnt't it? I find peace in the most unlikely place: outdoors. But somehow, i feel this gives me the challenge and motivation to want to find it even more. A place of scantary (sanctuary) amongst the hassle-bassle of the noisy, busy fast city life.
Beats home, where there's an evil machine called the laptop. Which i get sucked into the cyber world and get stuck inside for hours. Though i find temporary sastisfaction from this, but i know this is not something what i truly enjoy.
This is due to an under-laying (underlying) factor, which i always point out.. I detest anything manistream, and Facebook is as mainstream as it can get. Despite the factm i thrive to stand out amongst this sea of normal FBers.

pg2

okie, let's get down to the Warped Theory of the day.
Masses Hater !!!
I hate them. I truly do. I cannot stand the sight of them. Let alone be amongst them. My usually well-hidden, well-suppressed fury/anger will escape to the surface, and reach its boiling point in no time.
I am thankful i still have this ability to summon my fury to the surface, when it is required to do so. For this is a hidden weapon, something which i rely on to help me get out of the situation i HATE the most: stuck in the masses.
There are many reasons, for which cause my strong hatred towards the masses.

pg3

Reason One
Boulders. Some of them are like boulders, or rather statues. So slow-moving, they are almost stationary. Sorry if im rude in including all the elderly, handicapped, etc. For i can fully understand all their difficulties, and i shall exclude them for this category im mentioning.
I just simply cannot stand stationary/extremely slow-moving people, (especially) when they are in front of me . Blocking my route of advancement, in the process. Something inevitable i guess, as my faster-chiong-to-my-destination world meets their relak-la-take-your-time-to-enjoy-the-process-of-walking world.
Hello, just a gentle reminder, we are living in a city. A dog-eat-dog world, where the weak, slow, stupid will get eliminated by the stronger ones. This is no slow pace city like the ones in Europe, Australia (,etc)
I know you boulders cannot do anything to salvage this situation. Boulders being boulders, can hardly change. If not, they wouldn't be called boulders in the first place.

pg4

Mainstream. To me, this is the definition of mainstream. Being in the masses is mainstream. Doing what everyone does is mainstream. Following blindly without his/her thinking is mainstream (i hate this the most!)
Why? Because i think/assume everyone has a brain, provided it is functioning properly/not swtiched off. And the brain is used to think. And so i strongly believe everyone must have their way of thinking.
Whats saddens/anger (if the people are real extreme) me, is that people doesn't recognise/even deny this fact. Cause they are afraid to express their own thinking, fearing comments/criticism from the ppl around us [them]. Some of them even deny the fact, [that] they dont have any opinion/way of thinking. Most commonly expressed in the form of "随便" & "I don't know" [& Anything].
Come on, do your poor brain a favour. It is there for a reason. Do not dismiss its products (thoughts, opinons) / don't provide an avenue for them to be heard by not expressing them to the people around you.
So, please. Please show your OWN character, the way u wanna be.. The way u r happiest in. Don't let what others might think about you [affect the way u live your life]. What you do in like [life], there will always be 'feedback', so just do as you please. Remember, it's your life!

Wonder When oTaKs Gonna forget His Own Name

his STM prob has really deteriorated to quite a serous lvl.. esp during this crucial lvl. okie let us get updated on oTaKs work life now (nah, work just to sound nice, its just IA, internship). Hes got to hand up a Interim Report to his boss/supervisor nx mon.. it must be around 2000words.. and he hasnt start at all now.. so the situation is already kinda shitty already right?

so hes already panicking todat, and went around asking his mentors/NP senior whos currently workin full-time @ SRC for past year reports.. oTaK finally got 2.. then he painstakenly transferred the 3 files into his thumbdrive.. cause he wanna go back home chiong as much as possible on the Interim report.. so anythgin lacking/unsure, he can still ask his mentors tml, Friday..

then guess what? he left the lab with his precious thumbdrive with plugged inside the com! OMG! wat a blur worm (directly translated from chinese)! hes nt worried abt it being stolen, cause he knows the lvl of integrity of his uncle colleagues.. they are simply too lazy to even go steal/look at oTaK's com lor.. luckily, he emailed himself 1 copy of the report..

so oTaK went cycling back home, totally pissed with himself.. he wished he could knock down a lamp-post or two.. but considering, that will spoil his bike.. he banished the idea.. and just as things are looking down, the man above cheered oTaK up thru his own cheeky way.. oTaK's mum is 'strongly encouraging' oTaK not to spill this out.. so just know that oTaK saw a damn big thing @ a bustop, having dropped onto the ground.. oTaK merely picked it up and took it home.. grinning from ear to ear.. that really made his day.. curious to find out that thing is? come ask him yourself.. hint: its damn big. and can be found at often the top level of shopping malls. it convinces ppl to spend around $10 on it. damn obvious le rite?

oTaK Warped Theory: Strengths VS Weakness

oTaK noticed after last night's soccer session @ Concord that:

his only strength is to forget all his weaknesses &
his only weakness is to assume that he has any strengths at all

arh what a well balanced person he is, isnt he?

Passion

Passion is often a good thing, isnt it? It gives one motivation and the drive thats required to accomplish the task.

Well, the following is trying to explain the difference oTaK noticed between himself and most of the other people..

Most people like/are really interested in somethings, then they develop and utilise their passion on the things.

For oTaK, he realised hes really interesting. Interesting cause he noticed he tends to develop passion first. With completely no idea to be passionate about, just pure passion. Enthusiasm, Energy is the name of the game for oTaK. He does things passionately, fully believing in what he does. He does not have a fixed passion. Just general passion. How strange. How he wishes to understand this unusual trait of his, so as to utilise it the way most people knows how to. He wishes,wishes,wishes...

The Post That Touched oTaK

This is the one and only precious post by Ling on her official site, www.lingkaimusic.com.. oTaK came across this when he was researching after the fateful day, 28Mar.. and was real touched by Ling's simple yet determined wish to be able to share her music with people.. this and the entry made on 6Apr, 'My Fave Lings Youtube Vids!!'.. the 4th vid touched me too..

25/10/2008
Its been close to ten months since I got featured on Youtube's front page, and sometimes when I have time on my hands, I get to thinking what I should make of it. So for my first blog post, I'm going to let you in on what I really think about the whole thing.
I can't say that the comments I've recieved online haven't affected me at all: the good comments really encourage me more than I expected. The bad comments I've recieved have more to do with sexual harrassment that to do with criticizing the music, and these comments are far easier to disregard and joke about. I'll probably compile a Top 10 list of favourite flaming comments on my next blog post—they're hilarious, I assure you.
It's a strange thing, really, when you're a musician and you're putting out your music online for every Tom, Dick or Harry to listen to, and comment on. On one hand you want to tune out critics and comments, but on the other, I strongly believe in music as a means to connect with people, to touch somebody. If you think about it, music really has no purpose in society except to do precisely that. Its not an economic device, its not a money-making career (unless you're a major record label in the 90's), and its definitely not a commodity today, so easily available online through illegal downloads.
Larkin Step, the first video I'd ever uploaded on YouTube, was a work in progress. It was a song I was intending to change, modify, and polish further. The title wasn't working for me, the song didn't have much of the storyline I had wanted to include, and the video just wasn't good enough. It was too pixelated, the singing was too pitchy for my liking, my guitar wasn't tuned, background curtains were ugly, the list goes on. So I thought, well, I'll put this work-in-progress up online, see if it gets any response. If just one person liked it, I might work on it more, and develop the song. I didn't tell my friends and family that I had this video online. Not a single person who knew me in real life as Ng Ling Kai knew that I was ling86. I was only comfortable dealing with anonymous responses. I didn't think I'd take it well at all if someone came up to me in school and said, "Hey, actually your song needs a hook pretty badly." (Not everyone's as "confident" as Liam Gallagher.)
After a few weeks, a few people had watched it, and I celebrated with myself when I got about 50 views, and 10 comments (I had a drink). I remember my surprise when I found that people actually liked the song. It was like finding out that you had the ability to do something that you've always wanted to do, but just didn't have the guts to try. It was tremendously empowering. So I planned to improve this little tune that I had.
Out of these few people, it got passed on to one YouTube editor and he sent me a message, saying he liked my song. He said, "Check back in 2 days, I have a surprise for you." Oh man, if only I had known.
Fast forward a few months, more than a million people have watched and heard the song. I was absolutely mortified! My first reaction was, "What?!", and the first question I asked myself was, "How am I going to make any changes to this song now?" I wondered, what was it about this song and this video that people were watching it so much? Was it the fact that I was a girl and I played guitar? Was it my funny accent? Was it my clothes, my face, or just the song?
It gave me a few sleepless nights, and I obsessively worried about it more than was healthy. And then it hit me. This is the way life happens; you never know when something extraordinary happens, how or why or when it does. You can never prepare enough for it. And that is the same way this whole thing started, at random, and by chance.
I would probably never know if it's because of the song itself, or because it was featured, that it got quite popular. But I guess that's the bit of luck that I was given, and I'd better use it or lose it. And I've been really lucky. Just because of what happened on YouTube, I've gotten a record deal, I've gotten funding and support to record an EP, and doing something with my music is reality now, not just a dream.
The views and the comments on YouTube have dwindled down quite a bit by now, probably because I haven't been doing the traditional promotion by going on television talkshows (coughmariedigbycough), or putting up more videos. I would eventually, but I'd rather focus on getting a good EP out, with all 6 songs on it being consistently good, and not be the "Larkin Step" girl for all eternity. (Recording is more tedious than I thought!)
Oh yes, about Larkin Step. I figured if 13,000 people bothered to leave comments and said that they liked it, maybe its not a "work-in-progress" afterall. =)

The Classic Clásico

FYI: Matches between the 2 biggest bitter rivals in Spanish football, Real Madrid and Barcelona are called "THe El Clásico", due to their much-hyped, much-anticipated nature. These two teams owe their bitter rivalry, not just merely on football terms. Politics, history, etc are just 2 examples of the other factors, causing this rivalry.. which will be left for you to find out on your own, as it is bloody 4am now and oTaK is dropping by to quickly jot down his thoughts about the Classico he watched just now. Ready? well oTaK shall continue even if u are not, as he wasnt prepared for the awesome he witnessd too..

oTaK witnessed history in the making just now. So glad he actually stayed up to catch the match.

Some stats:

1. The biggest win for Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu was 0-5 in 1974.


2. It was the only time Barcelona scored 5 goals at Santiago Bernabeu in the 79 times the 2 giants met.


3. Never was the goals scored more, but tonight history was made by Gerard Piqué, who slotted in the 6th goal.

Just a gentle disclaimer regarding this entry.. This is not to humiliate Real Madrid, whatsoever, nor to rub salt to their deeply-cut wound. oTaK has nothing against agst them at all, in fact, he is fascinated and drawn to the fact that they have 6 Dutch players at a go. This entry is just to emphasis and further remind oTaK himself, that he once supported Barca in 1 particular season, which it was condemned by all that it will not even qualify for Europe. But qualify, it did.

Tonight Real lost, not because they played badly. It was just a matter of the better team lossing to the best team. Both teams played REAL football, football that will put the English and Italian teams to shame and make them seem like amateurs. oTaK was awed right from the start of the game. Both teams had their players doing back flicks, turn abouts, making diagonal passes like its effortless. It was as if that was normally how they played. Hell, perhaps it really is. oTaK is ignorant of this, maybe cause hes stuck in the EPL merchandising machine.

The attackers just ran, and ran, and continued to ran at the defences, as if they weren't there at all. The defenders seem to have no knowledge whatsoever, on how to do the off-side trap. They just allowed the attackers to make darting runs pass them, content with chasing their shadows. Either the defenders in La Liga are used to this low standard due to the heavier emphasis on attacking. Or the attackers were simply too good, for them.

But 1 thing is for sure, Messi is SICK, SIMPLY SICK. He's a living cheat code! His ball control is super-human, oTaK deeply believes theres a string attached from his feet ot the ball. The ball may seem far away from him, but he can get it back to his feet cause of the 'string'. oTaK remembered seeing at 1 particular moment, Messi was running with the ball, weaving around the entire Real defence of 4. Another moment was he & E'to having the ball, and having 6 defenders running & chasing after them, like primary school playing catching at recess-time.

The commentor mentioned also, everytime Real got the ball, there will be 3 Barca players on them. Chasing and wanting the ball back, as if it belonged to them. Sounds familar? Yesh, it was what was coined 'Total Football' in the 70's, made famous by Johan Cruyff. Its ideology was the team attacking and defending as a whole. When the team is attacking, everyone goes forward and become attackers. And when the opposition gets the ball and counters, everyone gets back and defends like they were all full backs. Thats roughly the essence of 'Total Football'. And oTaK thought Barca fully exemplify what 'Total Football' is all about. Kudos, Barcelona of 2008/09/ Kudos, Pep Guardiola.

PS: Real fans were seen leaving in masses, after the 6th goal. Just imagine the humiliation they were feeling, Victims of Total Football, Victims of The Beautiful Game. Who can blame them? HEI CHELSEA, OPEN YOUR EYES BIGBIG AND TRY TO LEARN FROM BARCA!

Midnight Admin

The time is 5.46am now. And yesh, oTaK is still awake now, or rather he has woke from a short nap of 5hrs.. woke up early to watch Man U VS Arsenal.. wat a dissapointment.. Man U having completely dominate the possession and shots taken, failed to increase the lead taken by O'Shea on the 17th min.. bt anyway, this match can't get any worse than last night's Barca VS Chelski game, isn't it? oTaK is right in saying Chelsea sucks and excel/takes pride in playing -ve football..

anw, oTaK main objective tonight, no morning to be precise, is to yesh share his addiction to facebook.. as he cross the minor landmark of 200 friends (sees this as a good indicator of how long have a person been using facebook.. as 'friends' are more often than not, are added randomly.. often for oTaK, people he thinks he knows/seen b4 somewhere.. bt wth not that it matters.. the figures are just to look nice, perhaps?), he wish to use this opportunity to speak on his addiction..
ohshit, time for him to go work! he must carry out the daily ritual of cleansing himself and obtain the rare ability of revitalising & bring the rage within his body..

Ling publicising Me & vice versa

oTaK says:
wao this is getting further and further! rem that time i told u all, i was mentioned on Ling Kai's official website? pls refer to the 'Ling's New Vid!' post.. now the slow me juz realised she/or rather her record com ppl has mentioned me on their record comany website!

this is really making me go dizzy.. already appearing on my 偶像's site is already a big honour for me.. bt now that they even mentioned my humble name on their record company's official website, is simply mind-blowing! http://lempickarecords.com/

juz imagine.. ur name appears in Universal/Warner Music/EMI/Sony Entertainment official website.. imagine the feeling.. thats what im feeling now exactly! juz that its on a slightly smaller scale. namely just Australia, and not the whole entire World.. bt humble me being so humble, i really appreciate this appreciation shown to me by Ling & her 'record company', Limpicka ('' cause shes indie = independent, so shes not supposed to be under any company, but where do u expect all the EP-cutting funds to drop from?).. really a million thanks, Ling.

anw im nw acting like a unofficial PR officer to Ling's event @ Esplanade on 19 May lar.. invited my frens into her fb grp, "Ling Music".. then invited more friends to her event.. then i immediately got enquires abt the event, Jeff & Yunhui on MSN.. yea man. then YH ald cfm her attendence wif me le.. im gonna jio more ppl.. thinking abt SH,HM,WL & Wanni,Eileen.. yea i shall go start my PR work now!
