Megadeth Re-explained

One of my favourite bands, Megadeth. Some "normal" people don't like them, because they don't listen to metal music. Some other people don't like them because of Megadeth's lead singer, Dave Mustaine. But whether you like them or not, it's a fact that Dave Mustaine is one talented guy and a good guitarist. You can't run or hide from that fact. In my opinion, the best line-up of Megadeth was Dave Mustaine, Marty Friedman(get lost, Kirk Hammett), David Ellefson and Nick Menza. Here, I will offer some explanations on a few Megadeth's lyrics.

Countdown To Extinction

Endangered species, caged in fright
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight
The stage in set, now pay the price
An ego boost don't think twice
Technology, the battle's unfair
You pull the hammer without a care
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
The hunt is canned

All are gone, all but one
No contest, nowhere to run
No more left, only one
This is it, this is the Countdown to Extinction

Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare
The skin and thophy, oh so rare
Silence speaks louder than words
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn
Liars anagram is "liars"
Man you were never even there
Killed a few feet from the cages
Point blank, you're so courageous ...
So courageous

[Chorus]

One hour from now
Another species of life form
Will disappear off the face of the planet
Forever ... and the rate is accelerating

This is a song about the extinction of animals. It talks about people who kills animals just to get recognition or trophies. With this kind of mentality, the next generation might not even know what a tiger looks like. Damn you.

Youthanasia

Who'd believe with the way things are here
We'd be going anywhere telling people
How to live?
Who'd believe we'd spend more
Shippin' drugs and guns
Than to educate our sons? Sorry but
That's what they did

I can't help but think,
Someone's forsaken you and me

Luck deserted me and the truth
Beat out my brains
Men rise on stepping stones of their
Selves to higher things
I've stepped over lots of bodies on my way
Thanks for the information don't need no
More anything

We are the damned of all the world
With sadness in our hearts
The wounded of the wars
We've been hung out to dry
You didn't want us anyway
And now we're making up our minds
You tell us how to run our lives
We run for youthanasia

The picture showing a man hanging babies out to dry on a clothesline on my blog is the title of this song, Youthanasia. It shows how adults are destroying and betraying this world and making it a much much worse place to live in for our children.

More to come later...

Busy with important things?

Quite busy recently. So many things for me to do. I've got Samurai Warriors 2, Final Fantasy XII and Football Manager 2007 to complete. God knows when will that be. Can somebody tell me how to divide my time???

Oh ya, almost forgot about the "final boss" of my course in ATTC. The big test. 100 questions. Electrical + Nondestructive Testing + Powerplants. Fuck the management. Told us there will be a test combining both Electrical and NDT and another test just purely on Powerplants. On the day when the test is supposed to be, we were told there will be no test. Wasted my time studying at McDonalds till 1am the previous night. Fuck you understand !!!

21st Oct 2006. A big day for Ah Ma. Her 21st birthday. As usual, we organise a small party in the pantry. I was supposed to bring my camera. When I got home on the 20th, I realised something. My Mom had thrown my camera battery charger away ! Jin well done...But anyway, let's put that unhappy episode aside.


The whole class...again...


Ah Ma with the 4 Talents of Jiangnan.

Met up with the BMC folks on Sunday, 15th Oct. Roy, Roy-sao, Casey, Alex, Kee, Sikai, Andrew, Puang and me met at Rice Table at Suntec for dinner, then proceeded to KBox. Went in around 830pm. Was told that the price will be $16+++, which is around $23 and we can sing till 3am. Damn good deal...must go again next time.

In case you guys are wondering what the French words in my blog means, this is it. It's the chorus from Megadeth's song, A Tout Le Monde.

A Tout Le Monde : To all the world (Everyone)
A Tout Les Amis : To all the friends
Je Vous Aime : I love you all
Je Dois Partir: I have to leave

I like this song. Maybe I will play this song at my funeral...here's the full lyrics.

Dont remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
Id love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone thats all

A tout le monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
There are the last words
I'll ever speak
And theyll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

1 last thing before I go...FUCK YOU LIVERPOOL !!! Why you cannot win Man Utd??? Why must you lose to them??? You deserve to get relegated if you don't buck up !!! FUCK YOU !!!

This is Ah Pui signing off.............for now...

1 down, 4 to go

6th Oct, 4 of us from SAESL went drinking at Pink Dolphin. Ordered Martell and mixed with Coke. Played 5-10 game. Now I realised, shouting 10 is the best way to let the person next to you to drink. 1 of my friends drank alot because he keep kena-ing the 10. Dunno why...but later, we called ourselves the 4 Talents of Jiangnan. I'm sure all of you agree...

7th Oct, my cousin leaving his single status behind and stepping into the next phase of his life. With his departure from Single Status, there's still 4 of us not married yet...

The ceremony was at The V Tea Room, at Esplanade. Took alot of pictures, saw alot of char bo, eat alot of their specialty. Cannot remember what it's called, but it's nice...damn nice. That day was also his and another cousin's Chinese birthday.

Found a potential girlfriend for another of my cousin...hmm...think he will like her very much. After the ceremony, few of us went KTV. I went along, even with a sore throat. Jin well done.

Oh ya, Ali, in case you are reading this, send me the pics we took that day, and also the pics you took when you guys sabo me !!! I will remember that !!!

Ah Sheng, CONGRATULATIONS BRO !!!

9th Oct, the head of the 3 Musketeers of Buangkok's birthday. Bought a cake for her. Because I am clever, I brought my camera along, although no one said anything about bringing a camera. At 10am, we celebrated her birthday in the ATTC pantry. Pathetic. As usual, the birthday song, the cake cutting, the cake eating, but no cake throwing.


The cake.


Our birthday girl.


The 3 Musketeers of Buangkok. Left side is White Tiger, Right side is Green Dragon.


The 4 talents of Jiangnan and the birthday girl.


The whole class.

Of course, not a day passes in ATTC without saying stupid things.

Agar Agar = Alar Alar
Pagoda = Pentagon
Dinosaur = Di - NO saur

As I was writing this...the idiots upstairs are doing it again. FUCK YOU !!!!!

Reading = QPR?

Now, Channel 23 is showing the West Ham United vs Reading game. Seol Ki-Hyon or whatever his name is, sent a thundering shot towards the West Ham goal. He scores. He celebrates. He runs around the pitch. Then dunno why, maybe it's the jerseys, I thought I was watching Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League. Then I saw the sponsor Kyocera on the jerseys. QPR's sponsors this season is Cargiant, not Kyocera. Damn. Fucking disappointing. When will I ever see QPR in the EPL again? Until that time, I will be focusing on my other favourite team, AS Roma in Serie A. And after reading today's New Paper, I have to admit I agree with the ladies. The EPL is over-hyped by the papers in Singapore. La Liga, Serie A and the Champions League are way way much better than EPL. Or maybe I'm just jealous and fucking tulan that my team is not in the EPL. Maybe I should start supporting Reading, since their jerseys are almost the same.

Went for dinner and KTV with the mad people from SAESL on Friday night. We split into 2 groups. 1 group went to eat expensive Maggie Mee while the other went to eat expensive curry cooked by a guy called Muthu...or he owns the shop? I dunno. I went with the curry group. 6 of us went to eat curry and among the 6, 3 are coughing. Jin well done. The curry was good. The bill was lagi better. First time eat so expensive curry. The void deck chicken curry also not so expensive.

After the dinner, we proceeded to Partyworld in Shenton Way. KNN. Why everytime KTV go there? Macam hotspot. But...alot of chio bu...so I don't mind. We sang from 10pm-2am. Here are the candid shots.


Our dear Alfred singing...


The 4 Heavenly Kings...nah...just kidding...


Wanna go toilet, but song coming next...LUN AH !!!


The mad people from SAESL...in case you are wondering, the guy in brown shirt and the girl in yellow and me...we are the 3 musketeers of Buangkok. The yellow one is Lao Da, me second in command and the brown one is number 3. The one sitting on the floor wearing a shirt is our Alfred, meaning servant. The centre white shirt guy is the adopted child of our Lao Da. The blue shirt girl is the overall Lao Da...and we all call her Ah Ma...and lastly, the white guy beside our Lao Da is our Ah Ma's personal bodyguard.

Reach home around 220am. Went to sleep. KNN...fucking cheebye. The idiots upstairs are at it again. Skipping ropes and dragging furniture. Phua cheebye. Then when I finally wake up, I realised that my left thigh is in pain. Cannot walk properly. KNN. Issit a stroke??? From yesterday pain until now...think must go see doctor on Monday. But the clinic open at 7pm, and I wanna see the TV show on CH8 leh...What should I do???
