Learnt to play Good Riddance on guitar today. The song's done by Green Day. The green day that were actually good then. Nice song with meaningful lyrics.

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

"In almost all musical forms, the bass has two important functions to fulfill.

First, the bass defines the chords being played and guides the movement of the music from one chord to another. This role is usually shared with a guitar or a piano.

Second, the bass provides the rhythm of the music being played. This role is usually shared with the drums. Because it links the two functions of rhythm and harmony, the bass is often the instrument around which the rest of the music is organized. "

Time and time again I look for signs that tell me that Singaporeans are not that superficial, that are not that shallow. However time and time again I get the opposite. Of course I am writing about Sg Idol. I try not to whine too much about the results but this is just something I have to get out somewhere.

Look at Fantasia sing. Look at Ruben sing. Look at Clay Aiken sing. Look at Destiny Tobing sing.

And then look at Sylvester sing.

I feel that he has been riding on his boyish charms, good looks, that silly smile to advance into the finals. Yeah he can sing rock. But then again look at Bon Jovi. Look at Gn'R. Can he compare to them? I have my doubts. Olinda can sing better than him, hit higher notes than him, longer vibrato and is versetile. She can sing Jazz, Rock and roll, Pop, and musicals very well. Sylvester on the other hand either flunked or barely pulled through. So I cannot understand why she went out and he stayed on.

Remember when David Yeo was kicked out by Christopher? Exactly. Who can say without doubt that Christopher sang better than David? Again the packaging came before the substance.

Go, Taufik, Go.
