they call it needle in russia, the prototype was featured in the newspaper i obtained from the air stewardess today. at 11 kg, actually 16.87kg when ready to fire, it's a hell of a needle. anyway atec is over and i think we did quite badly, all through the missions my carbine was practically useless as the laser device was faulty, i always had to wait for people to die or become serious casualties before i can get a proper weapon. anyway action on the objective was fun, being a casualty sucked.

went clubbing on the first night of R&R in taiwan, the place was crap and i puked the next day. totally spoilt my day, now i don't even feel like going for mambo tommorow.

went shopping and the taiwan mei mei's were all over the place man! ended up buying socks cos i didn't want to bring NT dollars back, quite nonsensical.

met up with one of my maternal uncles this morning, had a nice talk with him, felt that my trip to taiwan was accomplished after meeting up with him.

i'm knackered.

will be in taiwan till 29th of march, which means i will be spending my birthday there hah! see yall then!

Holiday

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery (Hey!)
A plead, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear a drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
The line, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen (Amen)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

"The representative from California has the floor"

Seek out to the president gasbag
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel tower
who criticized your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass man
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Triumph by fires, sinning buyers
Is that a way that's meant for me
Just cause
Just cause because we’re all ok

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday

oh by the way today's studio session was good, though most of the songs sounded like shit, but we were not afraid to try. another thing was the absence of our "star" vocals chua, we could have nailed sweet child if we had him instead of muru on the mic while disturbing my bass riffs haha. nothing better than shouting my lungs out before going taiwan, could have been better if we could play fuel, that song's chorus is so me now. american idiot is an amazing album, the more i listen the more i like it, holiday's chorus is so me before.
