its been raining almost daily for the past week ah, its starting to get irritating man. honestly, i like it when it rains, its jus so nice, dunnoe how to describe, its jus nice lar. but, it has now becomed too much of a good thing ah, kinda getting on my nerves, jus feels like its gloomy all day long. anyhow, soccer last week was in rainy conditions. power lar, love to play when it rains cos u wont feel the heat and it jus seems like i could run on and on and on, esp the feeling of the rain on ur face is nicest of all le. den again, its makes for playing all the more hard ah, ball will skid, u will slip and passing is so much more diff but its a test of our abilities no? jus hope that it doesnt rain as much, except maybe when im sleeping, u should know how it feels when it rains heavily in the middle of the nite when u are sleeping ah. jus SHIOK lar!!

ok, enuff of this rain stuff. went to 2 of my fav places recently ah, MINDS and Tom's Palette (when am i going wala again? i miss shirlyn leh) tom's was the usual ice cream and talk cock ah, but ice cream was on the house thanks to mistake from the boss. hahaha. the peanut butter ice cream was great ah, gives me the 'tang yuan' feeling all over again. anyhow, they are trying out new things now and its jus so nice to see them trying to improve their business and giving their customers new treats - eunice researching on how to display their ice cream aesthetically, and making new web page. and the waffle we tried was good ah, had cheese integrated into it, so its like doubly good man. hehehe.

MINDS with my 2e3 gang, and hwa san joined us. a rare occurence ah but yeah man, hopefully he can turn up more. anyhow, hwa san is like josh ah, frens since P1 only not as close, though the 3 of us used to be inseperable de. thanx to zhss bball. and yeah, by the conclusion of this yr, 2e3 or rather 1e3 will be 10yrs old ah. so we're planning on a chalet nxt yr to try and get everybody tog and jus have fun lar. hopefully can get at least half the class to turn up? so yeah yeah, pls pls make it happen cos we really haven meet up in a long time le. and yen lin told me mr keong is retiring this yr ah, so maybe a good albeit belated gift for him too?

ok, continuing on my MetallicA mania. no lar, jus that i was searching thru youtube for live songs and chanced upon S&M, ok, nothing wrong here, it stands for Symphony & MetallicA. nv heard before rite? symphony music with heavy metal? well, MetallicA and Michael Kamen made it happen in 1999 man. ok lar, totally forgot abt this masterpiece of an art until abt 2.30pm today. anyhow, this really opened the way for metal fans to know more abt symphony music and vice versa. and playing with the San Francisco Symphony makes it all the more cool cos they are like one of the world's leading orchestra le. so yeah, go check it out, u'll be amazed how well the songs of MetallicA can actually blend in with an Orchestra's sound. and rarely do u see 4 rockers so nicely and smartly dressed ah. hehehe. Rock On MetallicA.

anyhow, this bags the question, when is MetallicA ever gonna come to Singapore? damn, those pple in europe and america and even japan gets to see them at least once a yr lar. and me? the last time they came was in 1993 lor. probably cos the crowd den sucked ah, thats y they decided singapore as a rock venue is cannot make it de. but hor, recently we doing quite well ah, esp singfest, should help bolster our reputation ba? so yeah, pls pls come to singapore as one of the World Magnetic Tour stops! anyhow, 12 days to go!!! cant wait cant wait!!

I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile.

introducing a new series known as 'Monkeyboy Reviews'. its where i review everything that i have bought recently and the first item up for review will be.... MetallicA's brand new album 'Death Magnetic'.

firstly, lets give some of the public opinions gathered upon hearing the new album.

from ms sharon of seletar estates upon knowing that the cd will be played, 'mus we do it now?!!' with a 'loud music again/stupid teck' look.

ms xiu hui of joo seng rd had the following comments upon hearing the first track, 'its jus noise' and 'can we have some real music pls?'

ms yvoone of serangoon north commented, 'thats kinda noisy ah'.

as for ms elene of pasir ris, lets jus say she was so engrossed with not damaging the paper rose she was trying to make, she couldnt care less.

mr joshua and mr sahfahri from serangoon ave 4 and serangoon central gave no comments although most likely they have gotten enuff of these nonsense to make any real protests abt it.

lastly. mr chin teck from serangoon north was so ecstatic upon hearing the name of MetallicA, he couldnt stop grinning to himself.

seems like the early comments for the new album has generally received a approval rating of below 2 against a scale of 10. but over here at 'Monkeyboy Reviews', i have to say, public opinions couldnt be more wrong. this album rocks so much, i couldnt keep my socks on at all. a definite middle eastern influence could be heard on the album and riffs come so fast, the F-16s would have a hard time catching up to it.

the playing abilities of Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett and Trujillo has definitely not slowed with age. solos come in perfectly with Hammett totally unleashing them after being forced to keep them in for the previous album, the disastrously bad sounding 'St. Anger'. Hetfield once again impresses with his growl although we all know that vocals has nv been a forte of MetallicA's. what's truly great abt this album is the fact that MetallicA shows why they are still the kings of thrash and why nobody comes close to even their leg hair or 'kar mor' as more commonly known. after the debacle of St. Anger, critics has pointed out that age may have mellowed MetallicA. well, it seems like this is a point across to all naysayers that MetallicA has not mellowed, rather, they have jus gotten stronger and better as they embrace life with kids and less touring. heres a list of recommended tracks for all interested in this new album,

1. That Was Just Your Life
2. The End of The Line
3. Broken, Beat & Scarred
4. The Day that Never Comes
5. All Nightmare Long
6. Cyanide
7. The Unforgiven III
8. The Judas Kiss
9. Sucide & Redemption
10. My Apocalypse

errr, i think that was all the tracks that are on Death Magnetic which means, GET THE ALBUM!!! and according to reports, they are currently the best selling band for this yr with the album only released less than 3 weeks ago. and thus, 5 bananas out of 5 bananas. there you have it, the conclusion of the first ever (and probably last ever) article from 'Monkeyboy Reviews'.

- Editor, Monkeyboy Chan out.
(all names used in the above article are tongue in cheek and comments are not to be taken seriously, should anybody feel offended by the article, well.... theres not a thing u can do abt it, unless u have bananas for sale/bribe.)

hahaha, ok lar. enuff nonsense from me. honestly, this new album from MetallicA is power ah, i know i mentioned in the previous post but i still mus say, its great man. metal fans get it for its definitely the best metal album of this decade and non metal fans, u have 2 choices, either stay away or listen to it and u'll be hooked like the fishes at fish and co. and hor, i really dunnoe which track to recommend lor, cos they are all good. personal favs are, The End of The Line, The Day That Never Comes, The Unforgiven III, The Judas Kiss and Sucide & Redemption.


hehehe, this vid here was done by elene and saf ah. damn funny can. at least for us lar. it parodies me, xh and yvonne and mr selamat. creativity to the max from them ah. go have a look and pass it on? if response is good, we may have a 2nd season? =)

lastly, i got my tix signed!!! yes yes, i went for Beyond's ticket signing session at PS. cool lar, alot of pple leh, luckily Best has a fren there, so we got priority queue, dun have to wait under the blazing sun. i even shook ah paul and yip sai wing's hands lar. cool shit man. 33 more days to go!!!

how can i be lost, if i've got nowhere to go.
