Reflecting 2007.

Yes its the new year and yes I'm still in one piece. Initially I intended to make this post an excruciating 30 minute read on how full of brilliance this year was to me as I was having trouble omitting and filtering between what were significant enough to be blogged about and what was not.

I loved every second of 2007.

But I'm too lazy to author a whole book about it. So I decided to summarize it by putting together a list of songs which reminds me of those memorable times.

MY 2007 SONG LIST.

1) 18 and Life - Skid Row

Reminds me of last year's new year's eve party at Vintage where we all went crazy and when I performed there for the 1st time. Still remember how Ricky told to "just go up and jam with the band". That was back before Slapshocked started jamming officially. Good Times.


2) Nobody's Fool - Cinderella

Takes me back to the time before we met Adora. Back when all Lola and I talked about was glam rock, glam rock and more glam rock! Back when he used to say "Oi rock kapak" whenever I answer the phone and we'd head down to vintage for a drink and more glam rock. Good times.

3) Real Love - Slaughter

Spirals my mind into the memory of the time when Lola, Hui min and I 1st went to Wala Wala where I became broke after paying for my 1st drink! When Hui Min told me "eh this band power you check out the singer" And how I instantly fell in love with her stage persona the moment she hit the highest note of the song projecting her voice aloud. Truly an inspiration.

4) Sounan - Tokyo Jihen

Hui Min and her projects. Spreading the Jihen love was when I met the rest of the Jrock scene. During this period of time Hui Min was already fired from the band. But all the changes occurred for better outcomes. It was still all good.

5) So lonely - Loudness

Reminds me of the time I 1st met Andy and Nana. Andy later took Hui Min's place in the band. Four of us chilled at Vintage that night when Lola fell asleep on the couch while the DJ was still blasting heavy metal. Crazy.

6) Rusty Nails, Weekend, Kurenai, Endless rain and X - X Japan

June 3rd. Enough said. Slapshocked's debut and supposedly last performance. But we couldn't bare to endure the itch of withdrawal when we stopped playing for 3 weeks. X is magic.

7)Heartbreak Station - Cinderella

Reminds me of you.

8) Art Of Life - X Japan

The band's current project with a new line up and My 21st birthday. Read Here

9) Love Is Only A Feeling - The Darkness

1st performance at DXO with Primal Gray. Good set. had fun. met more people.

10) Lips Of An Angel - Hinder

Is currently the song still playing in my head! Even as I'm writing this entry. It will lead me into posting an addition to my list of my "wise" theories. Stay Tuned.




So this is how I remember 2007 as music was most significant to me. Maybe THIS year there'll be a different list of things which will much better represent how and what had a positive effect on me for the year.



Please god let it be a list of smart, slim, clear skinned bespectacled nurses!





Happy New Year.
