Chromatic Expression

let me elaborate a bit about this song.

i wrote this song when i was in F3, wayyyy back then. that time, i wrote for myself, i never thought of forming a band with anyone since i don't know who can play this and that. this song is in A Major, so it's quite happy but i made it look like it's kinda sad by writing pessimistic lyrics.

this song is entirely inspired by the magnificent, one and only, Muse. (heheh, a bit "over", don't you think? well, whatever.). i name it 'Chromatic Expression' because the riffs of this song have chromatic scale.

the verse is 'dark', 'down', 'failing', 'giving up'. but, the pre-chorus is like a small little hope trying to emerge and finally the chorus is very positive if it's compared to the verses. the chorus is like the 'sunshine' of this song.

this song is 4.41 minutes long.

i would seriously love to put this song in my blog but it is very 'raw', haven't done the mixing process yet. so, i'll just post the lyrics here.

Chromatic Expression

My trust in you,
Overused and abused,
Life just carries on,
When you're dead and gone,
When you're dead and gone.

Your gaze beams a hole in me,
Your gaze beams a hole in me.

I feel my whole world,
Crushed, destroyed completely,
When you're out of here,
Hold you in my arms,
Cast away your tears,
Fight away your fears.

One day,
You will pay,
All the price,
It won't suffice.

Your gaze beams a hole in me,
Your gaze beams a hole in me.

I feel my whole world,
Crushed, destroyed completely,
When you're out of here,
Hold you in my arms,
Cast away your tears,
Fight away your fears.

Ini random lah sayang. . .

see, that picture right there, is what we call "random". .that's my cousin, we did cam whoring. .

okay, for the first paragraph, i'm gonna write in malay, i didn't write malay for quite some time now, i feel awkward when i write malay now, i gotta practice, so let's get it started.

That blue 'creature', i made it myself, inspired by ben ten's diamondhead~. another random. .

sekarang ni, jiwa rasa sikit kosong (uish, i feel poyo laa to write in malay). .duduk rumah, tgk tv, besarkan bontot, msg with busuk, main gitar, keluar sekali sekala, itu saja. .kadang-kadang rasa jugak sunyi, bila sunyi je, ajak keluar dengan jollene, itupun bukanlah selalu. .rasa macam nak buat je benda yang aku takkan dapat buat banyak kali sekarang ni, macam bungee jump ke, apa apa pon jadi lah. .
okay, there's another random, that's 'mica', my cutest little cat~. mica~~

shit man~, enough talking in malay, i really do feel awkward writing in malay~. .well, need to spice things up over here. .in this post i'm gonna talk a lil' bit about my songs that i wrote and about my 'new' addiction.

that picture, that is me, with my brother's acoustic guitar, i use that to write songs.

i bought a. . . . .okay, now i feel like blushing to say this~. . .i bought a. . . .i bought a gameboy micro. . .haha, u can laugh all u want at me~. . .i mean, i bought it for fun, i am not that serious on it after all and the price is quite shocking, it is very cheap for a gaming console. .that's why i bought it. . .anyways, i'm playing pokemon now and my charizard is level 42 now~. .hehe. . .i mean, come on guys~. .it is not something bad and there's nothing to be ashamed of when u play games rite?. .i mean it's like temporary satisfaction, after i go to further studies, that thing could be gone for good. .so, i don't see anything kiddo about it~. .and aunty ling once said to me, it's something sounds like this "oma u should do things that u want this holiday before going to college". .hell yeah aunty, i'll do that. .hah. .

still remember this busuk?. .

ok, music time. .in the past few months, i've been creating songs. .i write it for fun, at least i do have something to do when i have free time during this nothingness-months-before-going-for-college. .i created like 5-6 songs, the songs varies, love to politics, u get what i mean. .let me list u the name of the song that i created:

-Chromatic Expression
-Wonderful
-Hati yang ku benci
-Trauma
-Awake (it's ours, not mine~)

well, that is me. .need not elaborations. .

from these, Wonderful and Awake are the two songs that i wrote about my life and very meaningful to me. .Wonderful is about not giving up even if u fall down, parents got ur back, life is wonderful and it is wonderful to know that u love someone that is really important to u, someone that u care a lot about. .then Awake, Awake i got it after i dreamt of something (this dream, i can't tell about it, it's personal), then i told her about it and she wants to work on it too. .this song is about us entirely. .this song is ours, no one else, just u and me, ours. .

okie dokie, i got nothing to say already. .it's enough. .

P/S: thank you to those who wished me happy birthday; my busuk, alif, azraai, aishah, nina, my sisters, and so many more, i just couldn't put it here, but u guys will always be remembered by me. .

Cheers,
Umar.

我正在学习中文

today, i went to a pusat bahasa somewhere in kuantan and i was looking for a mandarin language class. i'll be taking the lesson for about 3/4 months and will end just before i go to a university/college. just nice.

why i wanna learn mandarin?. emm, most probably because it is cool for a malay to speak chinese?. well, at least for me. i dunno, i find it quite cool. and uhh, the classes will occupy my time during this long period of holidays. it's better than just sit at home and laze around. u know, doing nothing and all that. at least i have something to focus on. and after few months, i can speak mandarin! the uncle said it is possible for a human being to speak mandarin within 3 months. i'm gonna learn how to speak, but not to read or write. it's complicated. to plunge myself into something new, out of the blue. you feel me?.

i think that's about it. anyway, do not waste your time guys. at least do something while waiting yourself to be absorbed into a university/college. and don't forget about the upu thingy.

you know, i did the job hunting, and it didnt work out. i want to work. i want the experience. i don't want the money, just want the feeling of working, how does it feels to work. but nahh, it think i'll pass. i'm fed up with job hunting. but there's a but, let's say all of the sudden, a shop calls me for work, then i'll go to work. it's just that now, i'm not in the mood of working.

ok, ciao.

Cheers,
Umar.

P/S: busuk~. . .

How can we win? When fools can be kings. Don't waste your time or time will waste you.

hello there,
i'm back from Youth 09'. it was a *bomb*. i never been to a fair that is made by youth for youth before. it was fun, we walked here and there, buy cheap clothes (but the quality is superb), did "coffee talk, hawker woks". and got many photoshoots going on that day, hah i never thought i would do that crazy stuff.

here is some of the pics that i snapped;




The faces of youth of Malaysia.











The faces of youth of Malaysia.








A good one indeed. but i can't agree on it totally, i mean it is all up to you. if u work hard enough and know how to grab opportunities, you're on the game buddy. and, remember, knowledge comes first. to win the race, knowledge is the best ride that you can ever get.







Cheating in exams. well, don't cheat on every exams. and don't copy everything from your friends. exams are for you, to each everyone of us. to evaluate how good you are, to test whether you listen to what your teacher taught you or not. don't cheat a lot. work hard and study smart if you want to be successful. cheating on some questions is still tolerable tho.








Politics. yes, it is an interesting thing to talk about. Malaysia's political scene is full of spices and most recently is about the members of Pakatan Rakyat, fight with each other. how pathetic. this clearly shows that they can never administrate our country. look at Barisan, doing just fine and getting along very well. we, the youth, are going to be the future leaders of this very own land. please, wake up and be competitive to other races. don't just think having fun all the time.







no offense but i don't respect women who smokes. sorry to say but i don't see any pride in you anymore if you smoke. i hate it.











What the heck?. how daring to ask such question. i feel embarrassed after reading this banner. man, you should have shut yourself up and just keep it to yourself. it is a lot better like that.








this picture below, really caught my attention. i stalled for a moment after i saw this banner. it is 'original' to me.



"What is the best way to gain happiness?". ohh my, it is a big question mark right over there. everyone has their own way to achieve satisfaction, excitement and i am pretty sure that the way they execute it, will never be the same each time. me?. i find happiness through my family. i find happiness through music. through Muse. and my friends give happiness to me. before i saw this banner, i never ask myself this question. i never did. it somehow makes me appreciate better the meaning of happiness.



i'll end it here. i'll put on more pic on the next post. blogspot is a moron, can't do too many things at once.

Cheers,
Umar.

I'm off to Youth Malaysia 09' with my band for a gig. Come and join us at PWTC this Friday. Cheers.
