SG Speaker Corner

[mrfatso]

is it? Cool, guess this means i don have to go to school

and yes!! this means more time to play my ps2 and maybe i should get back to prototype

 

[elixirdream]

ah singapore's holiday is the same?
2 days for hari raya?
if thats the case a couple of days for you to spam your ps2 ;P

 

[Domination]

ah singapore's holiday is the same?

Only 1 day I think....

Monday no school. But meh... I REALLY REALLY HATE SCHOOL!

Oh w/e.

 

[elixirdream]

so it just one day? then monday should be a replacement holiday

even our gov't announce tomorrow as a school holiday
so nice of them

hoo hooo hooooo

 

[mrfatso]

so, dom, only monday is public holiday for us?

sing, 2 games i can't play on my ps2: shadow heart 3 and shining force

stupid black screen.

edit: hoo hoo, so nice, guess while we can mock our government about this and that, in the end, we are still kinda grateful to them for some of the stuff they have done

 

[Domination]

Yeah... Only Monday make-up holiday for Sunday...

Most of our festivals only have one day holidays, except Chinese New Year. Well, I am grateful actually, it may sound like biased, but well we are Chinese Majority after all. At least we have all holidays of all races throughout the year.

And PS2!!! It was really fun... But now I'm trying to learn how to hack my wii... Got scammed for high price, might as well make full use of it rather than playing PS2...

 

[iPikachu]

my sister has home based learning tomorrow, might as well count as holiday! >

 

[syko5150]

i dont like holidays for 2 reasons...1. everything is crowded where as on a normal day i can go wherever i want and do what i want while people work and no traffic...and 2 i don't make money on holidays people don't work = no business well at least for the car garage the liquor store is open everyday except for Christmas and thanksgiving

your ps2 no games left? and woot, at least got 1 day break from school, sian like that should have change meet doc to friday then better haha.

This is well... Quite different here in SG.... Normally, we would have plenty of stores open on any festival since we are msotly Chinese. Except Chinese New Year, since the Chinese will probably take a break then. For 2 days some more...

And fatso, I don't have any games, all the games from the noob shop are mostly spoilt or they were bad in burning. Meh. I still want to hack my wii tho.

 

[mrfatso]

u want? i can try burn some of the older games and pass to u

currently:

megaman x command mission
kingdom heart
final fantasy 12
dragon quest 8
capcom vs snk
magna carta
growlanser
odin sphere

guess the us culture and us are atad too different, i also thought that its their favorite time of the year whenever there's a holiday. Guess most of them prefer to stay at home unlike us, on holidays, we go out shopping

 

[Domination]

Nah... Don't have time to play it lately either... Especially since exams are coming up soon and 'O' levels too.

And its the same for all the western countries... When I went to Aussie for holidays when I was like... p5? I had gastrics, but it was labour day... all the stores and clinics were closed. Had to go to a hospital, but somehow I got better. Thank god, I would never want to go to a local hospital, much less and overseas one. Taxi fees were wasted though...

On a side-note: Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown album sucks. I don't know why my last year class mates like it so much. Its highlight songs like "21 Gun" are more pop than punk. Meh... I could at least like some of their older material.

Edit:There are some songs that are pretty punk after listening more... But mostly Pop Punk. Sad... The Stooges is still the best Punk band ever! Sex Pistols... Kinda cool, but definitely not something I like more than "kinda like"

 

[syko5150]

@domination: well most holidays my store/garage are open but major holidays we're closed eg. Christmas,Thanksgiving,Labor Day,Memorial Day etc but were open every other day of the year

Edit:Also Green Day SUCKS they haven't been good since the 90's like their albums Dookie and Insomniac
Edit 2:lol my favorite punk band has to be Strung Out

good luck with your O level, remember give yourself a internet ban for around 1 month before your o level start and use this time to concentrate on your studies. If not, u might end up like me, didnt work hard enuf to enter Anderson Junior College

 

[Domination]

LOL, thats quite a lot of days that you guys are closed... Isn't it hard? 2 days a year for Chinese New Year is hard enough for me.

The Stooges are pretty good, they have the nice punk rock early style like Sex Pistols. I like both of them alot. They may sound talentless and raw but they were pioneers of punk, and I enjoy them more than the "refined" punk which Green Day does. Tho, the ounk guys think "good" and "talented" is bad and "Punk" is all it takes... Its music man. My favouritest Punk band is actually Rise Against, a Melodic Hardcore band.

I think Green day has some nice songs though... But their new album really sucks, I don't think they can be called "Punk Rock"... "Pop Punk" more.

Edit: I want to go poly anyways... JC is totally not what i want... General Paper is the only thing that sounds cool because it may cover globabl affairs but will be hard. Its just chinese... I think I can handle. Though it will probaably be as bad as my shcool's papers. Higher Chinese sucks, but at least I can retake it again if I really die badly (I believe I will die, but not badly)

 

[syko5150]

in all honesty i think punk is good but it has to be one of my least listened to styles of music i prefer stuff like Metalcore and Metal(not death metal or black metal or any other type of metal just METAL) eg. ozzy,dio,iron maiden,anthrax,metallica i like vocals i dont want to listen to a whole song with screaming some screaming is ok but a full song of it? thats just for talentless bands...

Well, the bands have some good guitars really, I hate death vocals too but the instruments may be nice. The only shouting vocals I can stand is those you shout loudly in Hard Rock or Metal where it sounds dynamic and not those throughout the song. Oh and the hardcore shouting too.

I like Rock more than Metal though. Rock > Metal > Punk > Alternative > popandotherrapordunnowatcrap

 

[syko5150]

well everything u just mentioned is Rock.....metal and punk and all those other styles are just sub genres of rock lol and then there are sub genres of the sub genres and so on but in the end its all rock with a different name its just like how there are different styles of rap but in the end they're all just rap...

 

[Domination]

Punk style is totally different, with all the D.I.Y and straight edge stuff and the "rawer" sound back at the beginning with Stooges and Pistols. Metal is more closely linked to Hard Rock than it is with Rock, rock is more vocal friendly and is lighter even with shouting. They may be sub genres, but their sounds are so different, so I view them as different things.

Hard Rock is still the best though. I love both the heavier Aeorsmith and a softer more blues based and acoustic and folk incoporating Led Zeppelin. i personally think of Blues-based Hard Rock to be different from the heavier Hard Rock.

well, just aim high so at the very least fail, your grades will still be high enuf to be accepted in any course that u wishes.
