Hi -----,

Sorry to bother you after the entire semester but I must say that i'm feeling deeply bothered after yesterdays crit. I felt that Derham was being particularly harsh with my work. I accept full consequences of the outcome of the model due to bad judgement. However, I have had invested alot of time and effort into the poster. I know that there were some presentation flaws such as "lack of information" but was nothing at all commendable? Do let me know if you feel that was so; I can take a bullet. I am aware that there is a line between quality and effort; I just do not wish to be unfairly judged as to having neither.

And Derhams bringing up the fact that I was a transfer student from a singled out institution was unsavoury and simply uncalled for, though I may not be a model produce of that institution. It was very unprofessional of him to make such a remark.

Lastly, excuse me if I may have come across as arrogant or a smart alec in delivering my design and responding to comments.

Should you not know how to respond to this e-mail because my efforts really were "dumb" as described by Derham or if it is not in your place to overwrite his judgement, I fully understand. With that said, you were lots of fun this semester with your semi-cynical and eccentric sense of humour. It has been a pleasure having you as a tutor.

Cheers,
Matt.

The fact that his own designs were beyond the means of the majority angered and frustrated him; but he wanted no less than perfection, and perfection, as he conceived it, could not be achieved through compromise with a system, which, he believed was dedicated to the deconstruction of freedom, individuality and beauty.

It was back in 2005; when my dad came back from a trip from the States. Upon his homecoming I knew that he would have gotten me a couple of CDs (which he did, Switchfoot's Nothing is Sound) and a shirt or two. But after all of that my Dad pulled out a lime green packaging, 12 x 12cm, an inch thick, from his bag; a 1GB first generation iPod shuffle. And my life was never the same.

It was the most random gift i had received from my Dad, YES Dad, mom wasn't too thrilled about it at all. ha-ha. At that time iPods weren't very common. I was the first of my peers to own one of these devices. Myself, never being a very technology savvy person had never owned a walkman, music player, or of any form of electronic media/entertainment thingy prior to that. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, the genuine excitement and amazement of being able to listen to music anywhere. Malls, transitions, tuition, toilet, jungle. ANYWHERE. And till this very day that I still treasure that very feeling. I remember feeling very grateful that I had gotten a 1GB ipod as to the 512MB one.

However, THESE DAYS, it's quite sad to see how society treat iPhones and iPads alike. They've become such objects of desire and too highly regarded, a status symbol. People and their constant obsession to posses the latest iPhone/iPad, fuck that. Y'all're tools. I guess i'm just discontented with the shift of roles the iPod has taken, the role of a gaming device primarily rather than a music playing device. Even to those who use it for "music"krappy kpop ain't music.

Summer,

2010-11-21T05:41:00.000-08:00

Every good album has a song about summer, for instance :

New Found Glory's (2002) Sticks and Stones - It's Been A Summer
Minus The Bear's (2010) OMNI - Summer Angel
Set Your Goals (2009) This Will Be The Death Of Us - Summer Jam
Four Year Strong's (2010) Enemy of the World - Eternal Summer
Deftones (1997) Around The Fur - My Own Summer

My point is... .. We don't have summer in Malaysia.

DIAMOND EYES

2010-05-22T03:59:00.000-07:00

I'll admit that i've already made a couple of prefabricated opinions to what the album will sound like. In the case of Deftones; violent, melancholic, beautiful, delusional, somewhat promiscuous and a tinge of positivity. I had also taken to account from what angle they were coming from while making this record; Chi's absence, stand in Sergio Vega, and Eros on hold.

After listening to the album i must say that i was not suprised, which is both good and not so bad. Good because they're still making music that we love and not so bad because it's nothing to brag about.

The album's opener and title, Diamond Eyes, probably isn't the strongest opener as compared to Hexagram or Feiticeira but it gets the job done. Royal reminds me of Rapture, off Saturday Night Wrist. It's got the same agressiveness. CMND/CTRL and YOU'VE SEEN THE BUTCHER gives me reason to belive that Deftones made these two songs without thinking for once that they were going to be judged. I think that's cool. Probably 2 of the best faster songs on the record. Beauty School's a beautiful song. One thing that Deftones have succesfully achieved is portraying the essence and emotions on this record. Although i wouldn't dare dub any of Deftones songs as fillers, i do find that to be the case on Prince. The intro for Rocket Skates, the first single, reminds me of Slipknots Before I Forget. A very typical deftones song with lyrics composed of a delusional romance; screams "GUNS.RAZORS.KNIVES". Sextape, despite the title, i must admit is a brilliantly composed song (coalesce of lyrics and music) that PARTLY declares the unspoken in betweens of "intimacy". Risk is probably the most positive track on the record. 976-Evil musically screams ambivalence. Lastly, This Place Is Death is a dark delusional song that doesn't really hit the spot and is a poor closure to a rather positive record.

Personally, this record probably wasn't Deftones at their finest but it is definitely them with their most polished sound ever, both vocally and musically. In conclusion, i would have to say that Diamond Eyes is NOT the record that Deftones fans have been waiting for.

It's the in between.

Matthew Chong? at a Black Eyed Peas concert!?
Yes, it sounds un-appropriate but I did go.

why?

Frankly, i appreciate the bands views on music and the industry very much. I admire how they have handled and embraced the change in the industry.

Furthermore, have you heard "I Got A Feeling" ? - it's awesome.
There's something about this song, in terms of music structure.

[ G C Em C ] isn't a common progression for a electro pop song. It takes you on a very pleasant dreamy high with the [G]'s and [C]'s while the [Em] adds a certain intensity to the song. It all falls together brilliantly.

However, this song doesn't sound very much like a pure BEP effort. That's because it was produced by David Guetta.

I think i can safely say that i've hopped on
the Black Eyed Peas
band wagon.

Do you ever find it corny when you watch those shows on Discovery channel and National Geographic where the 'dude' will go out on a mission to look for the biggest snake and then he doesn't find it till the very last day? ( or the 40th minute of a 45 minute long show). Well, I do.

Over the weekend I searched a dozen record stores across Singapore city and could not find IT. Anyway, I managed to find it 3 hours before my flight back. So, yea maybe that kinda stuff really does happen on TV.

Then again... no i'll take that back.

I still think that the producers are trying to pull a fast one.

2009-04-15T02:55:00.000-07:00

I do not see a reason to why one has to justify ones self for every idea design or concept. Not everything has to be bound to a significant meaning. If it is both beautiful and functional then let it be. Don't ask where have you seen this being done or even what inspired you, expecting a logical and predictable explaination. Why is it that one cannot simply pull out ideas which lack "fundementals" from the air? Being in this line of study/profession, I would say that it's stupid to not do so. Infact, being an artist one should be cursed to constantly have unexplainable ideas popping out of ones imagination for no good reason.

Jamiroquai live @ Sepang F1 After Race Party

2009-04-08T23:18:00.000-07:00

When I heard that the space cowboys were heading to this corner of the earth I kinda had mixed feelings about it. On one hand it was a dream come true, being able to watch my favourite band live in action, and on the other having to share it with a bunch of race car junkies that have never heard of Jamiroquai. Also, I always thought that I would watch my first Jamiroquai concert in like... Sweden or Norway. That and the much talked about 3 hour crawl to the Sepang circuit was quite alot to think about. I would have made up my mind sooner if they were to have performed in Singapore.

ANYWAYS, i ended up going(DUH!) with my dad, so the 2hour crawl wasn't too bad. And there were other REAL Jamiroquai fans, ones that caught them on their Dynamite tour in Australia back in 2005. Awesome. People that listen to Jamiroquai are awesome. Except for the MOS remixed bullshit versions which do not count. Why would someone want to spoil a good thing?

Back to the concert. Their set list (not in order):

Seven Days In Sunny June
Space Cowboy

Black Capricorn Day

There were 3 opening acts, an Indonesian band* (I didn't get the band's name but they were pretty good and therefore deserve a mention), Naturally 7 and Twilight Action Girl.

Some random dude shouted: "Play Love Foolosophy and i'll die a happy man!"-agreed
When they actually played Love Foolosophy, if I had hair on the back of my neck it would have stood up.
Awesome concert.

I'm still partially on cloud 9.

Pictures in chronological order:

Gorgeous

So was it worth it? well, despite all the Korn hype, I would have to say that N.E.R.D. were the better live band. They gave a 100%, where else I personally felt Korn were predictable and self-absorbed, which i guess did do them justice in terms of delivering their genre of music, which was very overwhelming.

Was definitely a taste of the real local underground metal scene.

The MCPA (chinese assembly hall) hall hosted the event. It was kinda funny cause there was also another event taking place in the hall below. So, the place was crawling with Malaysia's rich/important chinese people and scrawny looking concert goers.

The worst thing about the concert was that there wasn't any air-con! only 6 wall mounted fans that weren't even rotating. It was so hot and humid that the windows were all fogged up. Other than that the band put up a pretty good show, performing most of their songs like:

The Siren's Song, Feed Them To Them Pigs, Idols and Anchors, Dead Man's Chest, Smoke 'Em If Ya Got em and loads more.

Last but not least, the company was awesome too. I didn't end up going alone, i was accompanied by Jason, Josh, Sufian, Poh Hock, Zhi Kang.

I finally got a couple of albums that i've had my eyes on for a while, thanks to uncle Lek Chong who's back here for a visit from the States. These CD's are unavailable locally and even if it is imported in it would easily cost anything from RM78.00 - RM101.00 (per CD). Therefore, I am utterly pleased and thankful.

* I can imagine my uncle in his pleated khaki shorts and striped polo-T walking into a record shop at the mercy of a heavily pierced and tattooed bald dude. hmmm...

BUT he went to BORDERS.
How awesome is that? BORDERS!? -like that'll ever happen here.

A BIG TQ to aunty Joyce for making the calls to Borders to check for stock availability.

2009-01-08T06:55:00.000-08:00

It's late but I guess i'm fairly pleased with '08. Although, i found myself doing things that i do not fancy such as:

1. talking about places to eat for the sake of carrying out a conversation.
2. playing computer games (particularly dota)
3. keeping an online journal (mmhmm, i don't like the term blogging)

BUT All in All it ended on a pretty good note i suppose.
As for the new year, I have got 3 so called 'resolutions' (i'm starting to dislike that word due to excessive use (by other people of course)).

besides, i wouldn't have wanted to listen to nintendo core and J-rock music for the opening acts

UnderOath (headliner)
Bullet For My Valentine (co-headliner)
Norma Jean
Bring Me The Horizon
August Burns Red

now, THAT's a real Taste of Chaos International line-up.
I guess i can wait till that day comes :)

RTOC!?

Doomsday by Atreyu

Monster?

2008-09-19T02:38:00.000-07:00

I've just come to realize something about myself. I like the idea of there being something out there that's big and beyond us, not spiritually but literally. If only the glowing eyes got up and terrorized the ballet school. . .

Listen:
Ice Monster by Minus the Bear
Monster by Funeral For A Friend
Monsters by Meg & Dia

and yea, that was the point of this post

Listen: Comfy In Nautica by Panda Bear

(didn't care too much for this one though)
so i went for a walk and bumped into this dude (Miles, drummer for Dearest)
This was about 6.45 already. It got dark pretty quickly after "this".

ROUND II

Lostprophets

Simple Plan
(I'd Do Anything ;)

Heh.
Didn't bother to stay for Travis. Besides, at that point of time i couldn't hold my neck up straight due to the excessive headbanging. My elbows were bruised (still are) and the worst part, i felt like someone was pulling a crowbar up my trachea everytime I inhaled. well, that's the Price to Pay. . .

Not for the faint of heart ;)

(help, i'm in serious pain)

Comeback Kid live in KL

2008-05-06T09:27:00.000-07:00

Allah, Poh Hock, ME

Yup, that dudes name is Allah. Anyway, Comeback Kid's gig here in Zouk, KL was SICK! With pretty good opening acts (Restraint, Love Me Butch, P.O.H, Second Combat), hands down it was the craziest concert that i have ever been to. The crowd was really rowdy (not my kinda thing), it couldn't get any rowdier. There was moshing, body slamming, stage diving... you name it. Stupidest thing was that there was a group of Malay shufflers shuffling and doing some stupid dance routine.

oh ya, moshing etiquette's is a universal understanding :)

Rock Concerts

+ Fusball

Damn, it's been almost 2weeks since the concert and it still hasn't gone away!

Listen: Hailing On Me by Comeback Kid
Wake the Dead by Comeback Kid

So much for a "Sunny" day...

15th March '08 - Sunburst

Damn, it rained when we got there at 4.30p.m. and all i could think of was going bare foot as to not get my beige-velvet like-Nike shoes wet but the idea couldn't stand a second to the idea of my feet being stompped on by a roudy crowd. hmmm, i really gotta invest in a pair of Crocs. Think about it... A pair of Crocs would make the best footwear for a situation such as this. It's got lots of holes to allow air circulation and i highly doubt that it would be really uncomfortable if water got in it.

ANYWAY,

i intended to go solo but was accompanied by two of my most unlikely childhood friends to go for this sorta thing, Mr.Check (isaac) and Charisse. We managed to catch these bands/groups (in chronological order) :

1. George Clinton + P-Funkadelics
(this is the best electric guitar solo i've ever heard)

they were amazing.

2. One Buck Short

damn, i love this band. oh ya, i got into my first mosh pit too:) wohoo!!

-a shot with Mookey after signing my CD

support them!

3. the Roots
didn't really care much for this one.

4. Incognito
this one too, haha

5. John Legend
I honestly din't really enjoy this one. sure, he has a couple of skills and tricks up his sleeves but it gets monotonous after half an hour

6. Incubus - the real deal !
hands down, the best performance of the day and probably in Malaysia since the past few years. it was crazy, the crowd knew EVERY song. Top class quality performance. they opened with "A Kiss To Send Us Off" and closed with "Aqueous Transmission". i got some pretty great shots :)
