My Life....
I stayed in a 10k sq ft bungalow...a 3 storey penthouse...a 1 room flat...a 5 room flat and probably everything in between....
I studied in a gov. school in Singapore...I studied in a American school in Malaysia...I studied juz about all the subjects I can take including music...econ...math...chem...physic...acoustic...decibel...art...different languages...among many others....
Yet I feel that I've not achieve anything at all....
On a side note I found a Joe Bonamassa vid that I really dig...

Dream Theater
I've been pondering whats so special about DT anyway? I've been a fan of DT for almost 20 years...they write songs that are like never on MTV nor on the radio but yet...I'm still very much attracted to their style of music...yet I've friends who tells me dude man you listen to some really weird shit...and I'm like whats wrong with fusion jazz or prog rock or hard bop? I dun know maybe I'm juz different.....

Mixdown
Juz completed 2 mixdowns...but I'm not really happy with the results :( I think I need more time to do the mixdowns again...something is really boomy but I can't figure out if its the guitar or the bass gonna need more time... my ears are tired...my eyes are tired from staring at Pro Tools...
Man I gotta get a life!!!
On a side note, I juz realize that all of my friends ain't using ICQ no more...they are all shifting over to MSN...juz feels so weird cuz I started out as a ICQ user....man I feel so old skool...not sure y I'm still using Trillian since I dun really need it and I can get more features outta MSN....

Score
Finally...the god damn CD is out in Singapore...I was doing some mixdown and I felt really tired and thought that I should take a walk or something and I ended up goin to the mall close by and saw Score....checking the CD out rite now....
Update...
Man this CD is gonna last for me like at least 2 weeks cuz the songs are so long and with such intricate arrangements, I'm gonna need a couple of weeks to absorb everything in!!!! \w/ \w/ \w/
On a side note I think James is singing like a lot higher than usual...gotta make some comparasion....can't base it on my memory since our aural recall last for like maybe 10 mins or something ......
Update 2...
hmm...how in the world do you mix a CD like that? A song clockin in at 41 mins and 22 sec with a orchestra and a full band....Mike Portnoy's drum kit is probably taking up like 15 inputs....insane...insane...insane
