Life For Rent

hah hah. My best friend came to tell me what happened when he and my mom went for coffee the other night. She asked him to hang around me more oftren and asked him if I’m gay.

hahaha.

Suck it, woman.

Did I mentioned I bought my latest cologne in a million years from the airport? I still feel sexy with it on but it stings me a little when it’s sprayed. hmmm… It’s coolwater game, by davidoff. Sexy…

Rach and I have been discussing a little bout bday plans. I told her it makes more sense to hold it the day before and do a countdown rather than on the birthday itself and then declare “hey my birthday is over!”.

I’m in a pretty horrid mood tonight actually. Can’t tell from my above messages eh? Ahhh.. the wonders of typing it all out.

I’m gonna take my shower and go catelogue my music software. Get lost in music.

Assholes and bitches pls go away. BAH!

Was out with darling niphlod and his friends bebe, sharon and francis. Sharon reminds me of Jansen’s friend. I kinda forgot her name right now but yeh it did make me wonder.. I know I won’t go to such extremes. But in the past I would be close to it perhaps. No I won’t storm off cause the gf didn’t introduce her friends to me, or get upset cause the gf said she is going home soon and half hour later she is still at the same place.

I do remember how I was like, and I was telling niphlod, if he knew ditchdog then, I wonder how it would be. The prince is vastly different from before. So much so niphlod got a little upset when it seems I didn’t seem to care enough, or I’m bochup. Whatever he does is fine by me. He enjoys seeing me a little jealous cause it appears to be a way of showing care. If one doesn’t care, why would one be jealous?

On the prince’s part, he has learnt to take things easy. What he wants hasn’t changed. But his way of showing it perhaps has. It is very comfortable being with him cause he doesn’t add onto my stress. He doesn’t push me, and is always there, like how he is to his friends. I think it’s really sweet and it is something I would want in a partner. I dislike being pushed to a corner, or forced to do certain things. He says I am an independent lover. I asked him what independent lovers do and from his description I feel there must be a better word for me. I also feel I am still holding a lot of things within myself. Not very used to pouring out stuff and all, and I do hope one day I’d be able to do so with him. And his friends are really cool. I think we will do well as a whole group. The most important thing is, I do feel good bout this whole thing. Yes, the prince is all about ‘feel’. When he doesn’t feel right, there is little that can be done to put it right.

Let’s see the line up. The prince returns to the club on Sat for a friend’s birthday. It is gonna be a lil surprise party! Sunday, hmm jansen wants to go somewhere cause mon is a holiday. We shall see… niphlod has a whole weekend of competitions so I am gonna keep him off alcohol at least till Sat has passed. Still awaiting X3 with the princess rach, my retiurn to dj academy, meet up with my lecturer over my project.. darn I still need some ideas for it. *sigh* This one is sure upsetting me a bit. 15th will see bbq night with the court jester, and the week after on 22nd, I’ve already planned the day and night.. heh heh. I think I will like it, and hopefully he will like it as much as I do.

As for the 8th, I don’t really know still. Shall see what princess rach thinks. I still wanna buy the bods tank top and I reckon it will be the only clothing item I will buy this season. And oh yes, earphones maybe. Niphlod has this one that cost 69 bucks and that is the cheapest in its range already. But it’s good, it blocks out the sound and all but if you ask me, it is road unsafe cause if a car honks y ou can’t hear. And he blasts his music kinda loud, just as loud as I do and that’s bad. I figure I am already a lil deaf from the boom boom house music.

I’ll get it only when my original ipod earphones are screwed.

Ah yes I have yet to make my return to the gym too. Seems like so much to do eh. I haven’t prep my software (music library) yet. Was gonna do it today but I had so many new tracks to listen to that I didn’t have time to begin categorising my software and burning them to cdrs.

I shall head to bed. Here’s a parting thought. What do you do when you love someone so much?

My answer? Try to be an adult, and make things work well, for a long long time… There is no greater love, than the ability to love someone for as long as one can(till the day one dies).

I should have been asleep 3 hours ago but I am not. Cause people downstairs are still shouting at one another. My MSN nick refers to these people.

What makes an adult? Not age. Having a family with kids doesn’t count. An adult respects oneself and those close around. An adult takes care of someone he or she loves, to the best he or she can, for as long he or she can. And adults learn. They listen, they ponder, they learn, they improve.

One would wonder, why would the prince be hopeful and optimistic over a relationship of his own when he sees things around that’s full of crap. As a kid I’ve seen one divorce. I think another one is unfolding as I type. Why don’t they learn. Or perhaps, it all ends up the same. Divorce. Break up. Sleep in different rooms. Quarrel everyday. Etc etc. Nothing good ever comes out of it. Having kids is good you say? That’s rubbish. Giving birth to kids and subjecting them to problems of y our own is unpardonable. And there is no excuse for it.

So in reality, what is it in for the prince? The prince does hope to settle down with someone he loves. Yes, he has been in the settle down mood for very long. You know, jansen is partially right. Date one or two days then get togeher, well for most people who belong to this group their relationships won’t last.

But I have something they don’t. Ditchdog may be dead, but the prince retained the ability to feel with his gut. What is this gut? Ah, this is something probably only I will be able to understand. In any case, it serves me and no one else. Yes I don’t know niphlod very well yet, but I feel very different when I’m with him. I did say once, it will take someone to sweep me off my feet for me to fall in love again. Though he didn’t exactly sweep me off my feet (seriously I think nothing human will probably do so anymore) but my gut says I should be quite safe from harm with him. And I will go by that gut feel. I moved a little too fast (changing online relationship status) and then seemingly appear bochup, which confused him a lot but over the past few days I hope he is feeling better.

Watched scary movie with jansen. I was a lil skeptical over it cause I haven’t seen a lot of movies, but thankfully among all the spoofs, only 1 movie I haven’t seen. Phew! The whole show is based on the movie war of the worlds. With spoofs from saw, brokeback mountain..etc. Giggled here and there. Went ouch here and there. It does get a little draggy with some of the weak attemps at humour, but it is wachable I’d say. Don’t spend more than 6.50

Just my luck was the other one I caught with niphlod. The ultimate cursed guy and the amazingly lucky girl, what happens when paths cross? I’d do 8.50 for the show.

Besides, I’m beginning to think twice bout the bash at my resident club. I don’t know. I know niphlod and mei mei won’t really like the music much. As for me, I’d do happy’s sound system anytime for house music. I guess I will discuss with princess rach at a later stage. Kinda moodless for it.

But I have planned something on the 22nd weekend with niphlod. Something I’ve wanted to do in a long time. Only he and I know what I have in mind for now heh heh…

People have been asking. Is he cute? How does he look like? etc etc. I don’t know what they mean. Cute physically or what? As for as I’m concerned, he’s cute in my heart, as a whole person.

I wonder if I do regret not taking my last exam this term instead of the next. But there is nothing I can do about it now anyways.

I was quite in a lousy mood as I left house for the dj academy yesterday. It’s the same stuff from home. Nothing new. Wasn’t 100% at all but felt okay enough to go out and then perhaps head to the gym after the academy. However by the time I got to the academy, I was already half drained. I played crap music. I couldn’t focus. Too much on my mind. Throbbing headache. Coughing. Groggy. Gosh. DJ @win was like, hey you’re like miles away, aint paying attention man. And I went yeh I know, sigh I’m not really that well. Steph, who prolly passed me the flu though I don’t blame her, was still feeling crappy. She isn’t well yet. Edwin seems to be the next one getting sick too. DJ Rough who was there teaching another student seemed to be sick too. Aiyo! But yeh, I did crap stuff. My temperature went higher as the hours ticked by. Eventually when it was time to leave I decided I was in no conditon for any form of phsyical training. To hell with it. I decided to go home and was walking along the way when I decided to call nihplod darling cause I promised to sms him when I was done but decided to call anyway. I knew he was having a bad day and I didn’t just wanna sms and all. We talked for a while and I decided to head to boon lay to wait for him to finish work and all before going to grab a bite.

We headed back to yishun and all, and hey! They have good food there! Bak chor mee. Fried chicken. Econ bee hoon (though I have had better ones). Wow. We bought our mee and sat under this void deck to eat. Okay maybe it sounds very unlike of a prince to do that but who cares! heh! We had quite a long chat. Maybe it wasn’t all to it yet but I seriously was in no condition to think, debate, discuss or whatever. Seriously. I was crap. I can start talking and halfway through I just lose my train of thought. That bad yes. I was very exhausted, but not sleepy. Being sleepy and tired is 2 different things.

You know in my head, there are so many people I know who have problems at home. Is this the norm? There are only a few whom I see, seem to be alright. Karen seems to be cool. My best fren colin seems to be cool. The rest, doesn’t appear so. And usually it is always the dad. 90%. Ironically, I don’t live with my dad. I see him maybe once a year, but heart to heart I’m so much closer to him than I am to my mom. I told dear a lot of things I haven’t told anyone. The reason why I think I am the way I am. Why I am so resentful. So much angst. So stubborn. So independent. So this and that. I showed him what my mom smsed me earlier the day and what I smsed her back in return. It’s normally not something I would share with people cause I am not proud of how things are. And I dislike talking bout it cause it makes me angry and worked up, so what’s the point in talking bout it.

But I have been pondering, do most families have similar problems?It is not something that one sits down discuss and gets settled over time. No. These are irreconcilable differences. After 26 years of my life, I can bet that if I ask my mom to list 10 things about me that she knows, she either can’t complete a list of 10, or gets most of them wrong. I don’t tell her a lot of things and I don’t want to. Why? I just don’t wanna start another debate or quarrel. Less is best. Believe it or not in the past, when she needed to know where I am or find out what I am doing she will either call my best fren or my ex. Cause she knows she will never get an answer from me. I made a statement last night. I said I really hated to say it, but it is painfully true. I don’t know if niplod dear remembers. It is not important anyhows at this juncture. I am just tired. Really tired. I wish I never had to return from the uk. I really do. My mei mei and nippy dear are the ones who probably made it a little better for me. Do I like UK? Maybe. But probably not enough. So why do I wanna remain there?

I will remain anywhere as long as my mom is not around.

The poor boy drifted to sleep so quickly. I know he is really tired. It does pain me to see that he always says he is not tired, so that I won’t chase him home and all cause he really hates that. But with his work and his training, gosh I doubt even I can handle if I don’t have enough sleep. But that’s me.

As he lay in my arms with me staring into the ceiling thinking and thinking, one of my favourite circuit handbag song streamed into my head and took me to the happy dancefloor where I first heard the song, dished out by Princess Ann. Huming to the lyrics…

Late nights, playin’ in the dark
And wakin’ up inside my arms
Boy, you’ll always be in my heart and
I can see it in your eyes
You still want it
So don’t forget about us

How apt…

I have attached the remixed radio edit for your listening pleasure. The few close frens in my league will know, this is one of my favourite tracks for main sets. The irony is, I do have problems finding the right beat to mix the song in. hah hah.. But DJ Ronnie offered some tips. Shall try and see how it sounds like.

I shall shower and get a little rest for now…have a good week ahead guys. I guess mei mei won’t be able to watch X men anymore with me.

Omg. I forgot mei mei is doing her wisdom teeth surgery tomorrow. She is taking out 4 or 5 under GA and I am gonna think there will be major swelling for her and the inability to eat since both sides are affected. She still wants to gym and I said no, not for at least 5 days after surgery. Cuz everything you lift will pull on the stitch. It does yeh.

And she is going to KL. She asked me if I could go, and I had to say no cause its too short a notice and I dun wanna leave my darling nihplod behind just when he is back. No I am not showing favourtism, but it is also someone’s wedding and I don’t know the person and I’m still working on my music stuff and I gotta meet my lecturers. Not to mention gym training, which is totally screwed cause of my flu!

So it seems it will be a while before nihplod gets to meet mei mei. hmm… then X men how. Oh no.

On a lighter note, felt a little more energy today though I sound like a horse with a sore throat. Met up with willie, william, kester, didi and adrian for dinner and a little walk around. I look at willie and he’s like someone who makes ppl laugh at the silly him. He seems very happy go lucky, innocent and all but through talking to him online I can see he is deeper than he appears. Oh yes, Mdm Willie knows his stuff. His attitude in relationships is, it comes and goes. I’ve always had this dilemma. Should I treat relationships like that? That they come and go? And he has a proven track record to back it up. Look at him, he takes things easy, as they come, as they go. “Good while it lasts” kinda attitude.

What did I decide on eventually? I just decided to be just me. If the prince is gonna be a sucker who will cry at every relationship, then so be it. If he shall be hurt by each one, so shall it be. Cuz whenever he takes one in, he has already ’signed’ the agreement that the ‘risk’ is worth it and no one else is accountable other than myself and I shall blame no one for whaever heartbreak that is to come. It took me more than half a year to get over my ex, but I did it. I still don’t know what nihplod is insecure about, but I think talking helps him a lot. He says i don’t talk much. Gosh, he is the first person to say that. Everyone says I talk too much. Especially my ex. This too much that too much. I suppose to someone who actually APPRECIATES it, it is never enough? I think my honey needs assurances. Assurances that can come from me only. I will try. I will.

Honey. I can sense you are holding back. You are holding back to something. I didn’t say it but I can sense that. I don’t blame you for it. We will sort things out over time k? Remember what I said. And don’t be silly bout your canada trip. Maybe by then you need that break from me already heh heh heh. Too overwhelming.

I’m kinda torn between this club birthday bash thing. I seem to have lost a lot of interest on the dance floor. When I was working n studying, it was really stressful and I couldn’t wait for drinks and dancing like there’s no tomorrow. These days? I sit, I listen, like many djs in the crowd. We don’t really party that much, we just listen. But what fun is it to just listen.

But indeed I can sense my semi retirement from the dance floor. I’ve lost the interest to be on the dance floor and all. I used to kick all of them off, but today I let the good dancers go up and do their thing. Some of them belong there yeh. Like bryant whom I saw at ynot last night. He’s quite good. R&B dancer, dancing to house remixes of rnb tracks. Maybe I aint as stressed as I used to. My complexion also tells. I used to be so super super stressed. This term is like a holiday for me. Which is also good I guess, the right timing for a new relationship else we would be so busy. And I don’t wanna meet nihplod only in the clubs on fri and sats. No way. In the past I have already seen that if I get into a relationship, it will spell semi retirement. And it has, as I expected. I am not too hard to predict am I?

I think I sounded a lil crossed with nihplod earlier. I hope he isn’t thinking n thinking n thinking I’m just ever so worried he doesn’t get enough sleep. But maybe he isn’t as weak as I am. I don’t get enough sleep I can get ill. I am quite useless yes. A shiny armour on the outside but inside it is all tofu.

Paris Hilton, with a brand new track. Kinda reggae sounding, digitally enhanced to sound a tad like gwen stefani i think. Might as well gwen do the whole track yeh? The remix by tracy young isn’t that bad but I am still trying to get used to it. I took corinne off cause I felt it was time for me to move on from my uk stint. I kinda miss it a lot, looking back at the photos and all. As short as it is, I love the time spent there. I listened to corinne a hell lot there so everytime I hear a song from her it will definitely remind me of the times there.

I’d definitely hope to meet up with some of them here and there, that’s for sure. It is amazing how every group you hang out with, tends to have at least 1 joker. This time round, it is Sam. He’s quite cute isn’t he? heh heh

And yeh I have been quite ill. A bad case of flu. I have been reading up on the difference between the cold and flu. It seems most often we get the cold. The cold can be cause by any of the hundreds of cold viruses. Flu can only be caused by the influenza virus, which is quite severe actually. Cough can last for a few months, high fever between 39-40 (which is what I had) so all these are symptoms of flu. Some of them at least. Colds normally see low grade fevers at most. Here is a rough run-down :

Fever
Cold: Rare; low-grade
Flu: Usual, high (39-40 deg C); lasting three to four days

General aches, pains
Cold: Slight
Flu: Usual; often severe

Fatigue, weakness
Cold: Sometimes
Flu: Usual; can last up to two to three weeks

Extreme exhaustion
Cold: Never
Flu: Usual; at beginning of illness

Headache
Cold: Rare
Flu: Common

Stuffy nose
Cold: Common
Flu: Sometimes

Sneezing
Cold: Usual
Flu: Sometimes

Sore throat
Cold: Common
Flu: Sometimes

Cough
Cold: Mild to moderate
Flu: Common; can become severe

I was trying to fix up jansen’s comp. Couldn’t get it done. Was soooo pissed at it. Sick as I could be as well, I still went down to the clubs. I didn’t dare tell anyone. Esp mei mei. She will come and drag me out for sure cause I was coughing nonstop and running a 39 deg fever. Everyone figured I should have gone home to rest, and it sorta dwelled on me at the end of the night, cause I realise I coughed my voice hoarse.

You know, a lot of things happen when I am sick. Especially with fever. Not too pleasnt things. I sure hope it doesn’t happen this time round. I’m glad J isn’t away for too long. Very thankful for that. Else the worst might have happened.

Gonna get ready and meet didi in town. Am I well? No. Do I care? No. haha.. I don’t wanna disappoint people. Guess that’s how much a sucker I am.

Think I’m getting stressed. Over music!

Yes cause today I exposed myself to new genres. Groovy, dubby beats etc. You know, be it R&B, hip hop or house, way before MC Hammer, everything came from old school funk. What’s that? Think of Grease. Yeh, the 70s. Something like that. It had house beats, and as time went on, genres were created. Techno. Trance etc etc. And now its even more divided. Tech house. House/Trance so on and so forth. My software are mostly commercial house remixes, a little tribal here and there, and a fair bit of soulful chill outs, while the rest are a mixed of stuff. My tracks have very clean intros that makes mixing rather easy. At least for beginners like me, till one has more hands on to go further and experiment with the beats.

What do you do when you are used to your software? And when you have time? You explore and experiment and I made such a mess at the turntables. Yes I am not afraid to admit hah hah there were some tracks, omg, 2 tracks going at it and my ears can’t even seperate the bass from the instruments. It is that bad! So the result is I took a very long time to do pitching. Oh gosh. I hope I fare better soon. Been out of touch and all. I am rather used to cd players cause it is easy to do cue points and all. The turntables are really everything from scratch and I am re picking everything up the hardest way possible.

And yes, turntables though related to hip hop cause of scratching, but turntables are very versatile. You can do so much with it. I do link it to driving a lot cause its rather similar. Think manual vs auto car. You can do some stuff in auto cars which you can’t in manual (I assume) and vice versa, but manual cars give you the versatility. But if one learns just auto transmission, it will be easier cause you don’t have to worry bout clutch control etc, but then you will never be able to drive a manual car.

Learn it the hard way, learn it right the first time. DJing is NOT easy, I can guarentee. The hands and ears need a lot of training. It does take a while, but it can be done.

I am just worried I will be so obssessed listening to what the jocks do in clubs that I forget to party. J was complaining earlier bout it hah hah… I was talking to J for over 2 hours. On a roaming line.

Oh no….we are so screwed…

But for once I can feel I am not the one who needs to be told to hold onto my horses… hah hah. Ok I shall zip it here for now. It is back to the gym later, for round 3 of the explosive set routines. I seem to be recovering on track. Good. Phew.

The wonders of sashimi…

Awfully tired but after being woke up by my mom after dozing off I can’t get to sleep. Smsed J. A few have asked me more bout J so okay I will dish out another one. J’s someone who seems to make it a point to check out words that’s new from books and goes to the dictionary to check it out. I’m someone who always loves to learn. At least stuff on what interests me and J’s pretty similar in this area. Pretty attractive I must say. I’d say w can learn from one another and the ability to communicate and share thoughts is very very attractive. Communication, which is something I never seem to have with my ex. One chicken and one duck. Don’t know how we could last so long anyway.

Just to add on a lil something after I walked J to orchard mrt, I backtracked and was putting on my earphones when I was stopped by this malay guy who asked for a donation for courses for those imprisoned. Or something like that. I’m quite a sucker for these so usually I will dish out some donation if I’m not in a bad mood. So I casually asked, are you from the yellow ribbon project or something, or related to it? He gave me that look and went “no no. It has nothing to do with the yellow ribbon project. Just cause my hair is short doesn’t mean….”

Ok you get the drift. I don’t know if I wasn’t clear enough but I was just wondering if my donation is in support of the yellow ribbon project cause it didn’t appear so. He seemed to take it as I meant he was a former convict. Aiyo! I didn’t bother to explain anyway. He must be somewhere cursing and swearing at this guy who thought he was a convict just cause he had short hair. A complete mistake. But I didn’t really bother to correct myself anyway. You see, it isn’t people like me who think short haired people are ex convicts. It is HIM who thinks WE assume so. Just like how the government makes us feel we are a conservative country. True enough we are made to think so. Just go out of Singapore for a while and experience the frog out o f the well feeling. Or a dog out of a ditch, if you must link it that way. I don’t understand why people jump into conclusions that another party is jumping into conclusions. To these, the prince keeps mum, unless the other person means enough to him to explain and correct myself cause misunderstandings do happen. It is really simple. “Are you guys from the yellow ribbon project?”

I reckon it is something to be proud of. The yellow ribbon project isn’t handled by ex convicts you know. *shrug*

On a lighter note, princess rach is making her return home! She feels she has become like a char siew bao. Well it is high time for her to come back to the prince and be under his armour. I have been working hard on my armour, especially on areas where it had weaknesses in. I will be waiting for J to come back under my armour as well. J’s birthday is pretty close to Xmas….hmm..

I hope you are resting well J! You’ve had many many long days and nights. You need your sleep and I hope you do get it.

Wow. My site ratings fell over the past 2 days. Is it cause I haven’t been updating much? *L*

My gym training is taking a hell lot out of me. Today I just about reached the burnt out stage so I am gonna take 2 days off from it to recupurate. Lots of explosive routines and everything from my traps down to the bottom of my feet is screaming. Yes, butt included.

J has gone to redang with friends and all and will be back on Sunday only. Will I miss J? Of course I will. Went out to meet J in the afternoon for lunch, walk around, check out the NUM stores. Found a couple new statement tees that’s nice but the color combi sucks. J likes NUM tees too! *L*

J showed my picture to frens and they said “It’s such a waste we’re not gay”. I hope that came from females hahah… well I feel flattered. Really. As compared to someone who once said “It’s such a waste you aren’t straight”. I got quite offended over that, and I do remember talking bout it here before. And yes, I haven’t forgotten who said that either.

Been asked to watch SM4 over the weekend. Will see bout that.

Yes I have been listening to Corinne bailey rae. Trouble sleeping appears to be the next single released but it’ll be a favourite of mine for a very very long time. What’ new in my cd bag? Tonnes. But my favourite is Sugababe’s Red Dress. AWESOME. It’s better than the original itself I reckon. i’m still trying to get used to Paris Hilton’s new track. I think it’s nice but the remix doesn’t catch my ear as much yet. Maybe after a few listens, just like Red Dress.

You know after I began mixing and playing with deck equipment, I got sicker of retro tracks. The same old tracks that never change, that’s one. Secondly, the mixes do not follow the conventional way of remixing in terms of bar counting. Most house beats follow the 4/8/12/16 counts of 8 beats, but no not retro. I actually went out when I threw out spice up your life, with a 22 count of 8.

The older retro tracks are worse.

But I do have retro tracks haha, remixed by house remixers. Like Copacabana by Barry Manilow (is that even considered retro still?). I kinda like it ,but funny thing most people I know seem to hate it. *shrug* If I ever throw it out, I probably will towards the end of the main set into the last set. I haven’t quite decide what is my style of a last set yet. I’ll see how it goes when I program a set.

I’m gonna head to bed soon. Tired out. I miss you J!!!

Hello hello!

Sorry it has been a while I got on here. Not working but been very busy with a host of other stuff, as you’ll see as I run them down.

I’m back training at the deck with turntables and all. Well I promised a few people I will do some good remixes for them so I had better do some practicing! You know, DJing is not that easy. It is somewhat like learning how to drive a car. When you first learn, there are so many things to consider. Mirrors. Gears. Clutch. Brake. Accelerator. Signals. Steering wheel. The instructor’s nagging etc etc. But after some practice, one will be fine. Same as DJing. Not easy to begin, but it can be done. Some ask, why don’t I do it professionally. Cuz I love to party! Everyone’s partying and you expect the prince to be behind the deck working? No way! Coming from being behind the mike in the radio station, and now perhaps standing at the deck, one wonders if I am destined to be surrounded by music. I wonder too. But music is great yeh. The sense of achievement when you see people having fun listening to your music.

X3 wise. No I haven’t caught it yet. I may watch it with princess rach when she returns. Hopefully it is still running. Else maybe I will borrow the dvd some day then. The hype’s gone already. I watched slither though. I’ve never seen leeches like those in slither. Gawd. A cheap steal from dawn of the dead, I’ll say go watch it only if you wanna puke out your last meal cuz u are on a diet and u ate too much. Period.

The interesting thing is, who I went to watch with? Let’s call this person J for now. No it is not Jansen but Jansen has seen J and chided me for not telling him I’m in a relationship with J. heh heh.

Ok so you get what I have just implied above right?

We’ve been hanging out quite a bit. We went out yesterday with Jansen and all. Too early for why not though, so Jansen brought us to DXO to hear what DJ Daniel does. I have never heard dan spin though I know him and all so it was quite good. Gawd they have fabulous decor and sound system! So so good! 7 turn tables even. And Daniel knew I was there and he knew my favourite songs so he dished them out, followed by Jansen’s favourite too. It was soooooo fun…

Went to why not just after 12 with the drag show in progress and all. It was J’s first time stepping into the clubs in the tanjong pagar district so it was quite an eye opener for J. J unfortunately doesn’t handle drink mixes much. We already had beer at DXO, whiskey at WN, trooped off to happy which was really fun actually. First time I see wilter, jansen and cheryl on the dance floor all together, it was really fun! We had martinis, gin, vodka… I was quite high thereafter. Quite. In a fun way. Trooped back to WN, where J began to feel rather unwell. It got quite bad. I shouldn’t have allowed J to down everything. Well next time I won’t. Gotta watch it for him. I wasn’t in a very good shape myself but had to take care of J and eventually we crawled into the cab and went home. I tried to force chocolate and juices into J but that didn’t work. I sorta knew a hangover was inevitable for J. *sigh*

That brings the updates to today. J went home, my family and I went to marina south for the steam boat. I wasn’t feeling well one bit. Didn’t really sleep cuz I had to make sure J was fine and I took a nap in the afternoon. Woke at 7..Gosh. Whole body aching especially my chest from gym training. Felt groggy, stonned, quincy inside out. Definitely not in a good mood. I wouldn’t go there at all if I can help it. Nope. And it wasn’t even with my dad..

Got home, went online, told J I was back, and I had about 7 messages coming into MSN with the same one line. “Woah? At home on a Sat night? Not going out?”

And I remembered on yeh it is a sat and I am not out clubbing hahah. But no, in no condition to go, even if Jansen asked me to I wouldn’t be able to make it.

So here I am. The prince typing away at the keys on a Sat nite. Gotta go sample some music before trying to rest early. Well, hopefully before 5 which is the earliest I ever get home from the clubs on a Sat.

Still waiting for mei mei to return. It will be soon enough. I will intro J to her. She will like J I know. What’s more, J also likes rnb / hip hop, including loungy jazz and country music. The prince likes commercial, vocal and tribal house in the clubs but is fine with most music out of the clubs. A good piece of music is good. Clubs are a little different that’s all cause I like drum and bass and good house beats. I find retro really hard to mix for me. Cause I will have to bar count for the tracks and they are not the conventional 4/8/12/16 counts of 8. Like spice up your life is 22 counts of 8 from first beat to vocals and I miscued because of that. grrr. But I don’t have time to count 22×8 at the deck! It all boils down to, a DJ must know his software VERY well.

Whoever said being a DJ is easy. But once you are familiar with the tracks and equipment, one is almost 3/4 of the way there.

One of my favourite warm up set track right now? Kinda old though. Mary J Blige. Be without you. Moto Blanco remix. I love the vocals and the beats. Quite easy to beat mix heh heh…
