Fragile

Learnt last night that an Uncle has passed away, though we weren't close but its still something sad to know of.
Shall be on my way to the wake and now, here is fragile, from Sting..

If blood will flow when fresh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrows rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetimes argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

Auditioning the UM3X and UM1

Well, went to the gym for a short while and after...mmm went to have a quickie with stereo electronics heh!
Tried out the high end UM3x , and as usual, im easily poisoned...damned it sounded good, felt comfortable, felt like i could have it on for hours and hours before hearing fatigue kicks in. The thing about it, think its a rather sensitive IEM, at low volumes, its was pretty audible. It was clear, the separation was great, the soundstage / headstage was good too. vocals seemed good on it (tried "ave maria" by beyonce). Jazz was not to bad either, tried "Swing on a star" by Joe Derise and "If the stars were mine" by Melody Gardot, sounded great. WAS SOOO TEMPTED TO JUST SwIPE THE DAMN CARD..but i got the better of myself..FOR ONCE.. as im taking into acct the amt of debt im coming to..and, im saving up for a home rig, which will ultimately consist of a cdt, dac, hp amp, maybe a power amp as well should i decide on speakers when my head feels tired with the headphones.

Oh yes, and the entry level UM1, have to say, the fit is as comfortable as the um3x, however, i had this feeling that i'll feel tired really shortly the mmoment i turned on "ave maria" again, there seems to be this higher pitch thing..which im not sure how to describe, but it seems to be ringing in my head, making feel like...getting a headache after probably an album? But have to say the clarity was there, maybe thats whats making the sibilance ring i suppose mmm... but yes, i have to agree with many that, that, UM1 will make a great entry level iem.


Cheers!

*edit : decided against the earphones, shall build up my home rig. yep as above, cdt,dac,hp amp, maybe a power amp too! woots!

Family Woes ... ...

Staying together as a family has its perks, when you get married, you have your folks to look after your kids, you'll have people at home, so as to kill the calm of the day, have dinner with more people as a family...

So i thought.

Just yesterday, Pops went berserk at Brother over some minor stuff which led to a huge fight with sis-in-law's indifferent attitude and how my parents hardly get to see and play with the little one at home...

Which ultimately brings brother alot of trouble as he is stucked inbetween.. but what i cannot believe is that the sis-in-law actually tried to just carry the kid and leave the home... atrocious.. the situation was already not good and she had to do that... how selfish can she be ... i mean, you just leave my brother alone getting the crap from Pops and you just walk out... It was non of my business, didnt want to make it more difficult for my brother, or i swear to god i'll just slap her. . .

It feels terrible, the atmosphere at home must be horrid now, i believe so, to the extent that im staying in office just to skip dinner and just get back to my room once im home ... wish dad can just shut the hell up sometimes, we're all grown ups, we'll be responsible for who are and what we become.. think parents always seem to fail to know that... and its just sad..

Seeing my brother sob, pant that hard... i couldnt help it..i needed to give him a hug, he is...my one and only brother, we don't show it, but there is love there... had to tell dad "enough" and bring brother back to his room... wish things didnt have to be that way...

But i guess, its good that things are being said... whether anot it changes the situation, is another qns altogether now...

It pains the heart to see these ... in e past ..its just the folks screaming with the children, now there is the sis-in-law, i hate that she is so terribly selfish.. but there is nothing to be said or done... If only the brother didnt allow her to boss him ard so much...

Seeing my brother cry, my niece actually cried along... its touching, somehow..you'll know it , even as a child, that blood is thick, when one is hurt, the rest will hurt along..its weird, but i try to be indifferent... i wished we were closer...

To the niece, Chloe baby, be a good girl k? daddy loves you, daddy doesnt scold you, please grow up to be a good girl... and not always demand to want things just because daddy can't say no to you... you know daddy loves you so much...so much that he wants you to have the best of everything you can have... somethings that even he doesnt have...

To the brother, Nels, its difficult, but you can do it...after all these years..as a kid till now, a father of 1 plus another 1 coming soon.. must be stronger ok? and must must take care of your health...

Sometimes, we quarrel and get out of hand...but we need to remember...we're family, whats there not to forgive and forget...whats said...shall be said... and move along now... to a better tomorrow...

*time for home*

Starry starry nightt~~~

Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey

Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land

Now I understand what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free

They would not listen they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now

Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze

Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain

Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

Chorus:

For they could not love you, but still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night

You took your life as lovers often do,

But I could have told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls

Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes

The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me

How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free

They would not listen they're not listening still

Perhaps they never will.

-edit...i know, no star can be seen on pic. but...wth yea? heh

photos from now on....

Took some photos with me new camera, mmm just playing around with it at the mo, well its not a slr but anyways~ happy with it. heh!

Think i'll try to have more pictures with this bloggie from now on, otherwise ...it be just a tad plain isnt it!?

Lesson...5?

I'm at lesson 5 of my guitar classes..and till date..my left hand still ain't pressing any strings yet..its just the right hand and fingers plucking away..hmmm, and as i've that impulsive buying streak... you seen my guitar ya? ITS E WRONG GUITAR~ ok, its an acoustic guitar, but i'm learning classical... so i'd reckon i'd be practicing with this guitar for now...for the time being.

My teacher says, "nooo don't use the acoustic guitar, doesnt help even if you change the strings"

"The neck is so much narrower than the classical ones."

Ok, so fine, i've made up my mind to get a cheap one! for once a cheap one!... UNTIL....

Teach asks classmate, "you bought ur guitar yet? (this girl is taking grade one exams soon)

classmate replies, "yep, C40"

Teach says, "oh no, your exam costs your 100+++ , and you bring a 100+ guitar in? the Sound is no good! and the examiners don't care if you can play, its the sound"

So Anson asks " er.. its just grade 1?"

Teach just shakes head...

So Anson asks again "er..ok, then what range at least?"

Teach says, " at the very least a solid top guitar"

So Anson (who already did some research), " and that is at the very least..300+" .

-__________-

So finally i gave up and said.."ok, fine, nvm, wait till i even get good enough for GRADE 1 exams . "

LOL

^___^ but i like this though...pluck pluck pluck..therapeutic if you ask me. heh

cheerios~

might go check out maestro guitars or ask the teach to recommend me something to buy heh.
