Punk rock band

(Bass enters)

I'm in a punk rock band
but not really punk rock
More of pop punk, popcore
Ah, what the heck I'm for the fun of it!

And I know my metal friends think
that I'm turning into a pussy
Well for their info, I liked punk rock
even before I know the definition of 'metal'.
(Waaarrrgghh!!!)

(Choir enters)
I don't really get to play
my favourite Alkaline trio fast songs
or Anti-flag or Rancid
Bet they know none about punk roots

(God save the queen muthafisher!)

Blink182, Mest and Green day
sometimes even Paramore, Jonas bros and the Fray
It's gonna be the forth gig we performing
but still playing that crappy Elvis song!!

They wanna be alternative and trendy
but not me, ah well

I wanna wear a sleeveless shirt
with a logo of Motorhead on it

(Guitar solo, NWOBHM style)

Ah well, ah well, mah well
Least I'm the asset of the band, I look smashing on stage
And there's a girl name Fieza
who commented my facebook photo with me on my bass!!!

May salary

Comments: Lots of money coughed on gigs. More money spent on food. Again. Cut down on buying cds. But more money saved! That is until I bought a new guitar...

April salary

Comments: Earned more in April than in March. But more money carelessly spent on food and jamming. And maybe choose a cheaper mother's day present next time? Aiyahh.. once a year okay lah..

A march month's salary

The chewer

Let me re-introduce myself. I'm a 20-year-old national serviceman. 1 year plus to go, about one-quarter through. I'm planning to pursue a diploma (again) after NS.

I'm working under the security unit. Of course I didn't choose that posting. It's been chosen by the Police NS department. My working day is 2 days' (1 morning and 1 night shift) work and 2 days off. A 12-hour shift.

Working life at the division is very different from life at the police academy camp.

Well, I was happier 2 months ago at camp. Even though I had to stay overnight, I had someone to call to. She was my sister's friend.

I miss her giggles. I miss whatever she talked on the phone. She did most of the talking, but actually I like talkative girls. Calling her actually makes me sleep better in camp.

But I hurt her feelings one fine night. My first night shift at the division. I lost my cool. In an unsound state of mind. I never think twice. Whatever the fuck it is, I know I was wrong all the while.

I only called her in camp, but not at any other time. I expected her to listen to me. But actually I'm the same too. I forgot about her for quite a number of days. I'm not there when she needed someone.

I was happier yesterdays.
