When the power runs out, we'll just hum

hey guys, I was kinda bored today , I mean it's not like I got an exam to study for right?
so I made a new video. Radiohead's My Iron Lung is the song I covered this time. I've been addicted (again) to this song recently so since I had some free time this afternoon, I made the video.

oh and my dad called me from downstairs halfway through the video, but i'm too lazy to redo it.
so my dad's voice gets a cameo in this one.

Animal Mechanical

so, I made another cover, but this time with some friends.
it's Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, a really nice song.
so I introduce to you, ANIMAL MECHANICAL

which consists of -

• Samuel Chew (me! =D) 
• Sean Law
• Daniel Gazi

so after a few hours of practicing, here's our video! =D



we really did try our best. haha.

peace out!

I won't see you tonight so I can keep from going insane.

another cover of mine. this time it's Free Loop, by Daniel Powter. it's a really nice song. I just wish I could get someone to play the piano solo for me. Oh yeah, and I messed up the chords at the end. oops? =D


on another note, I really wanna go over to Jon's place for some band hero. so ajak me over quick! this time I won't be late =D

USA Nights.

The grass is always greener on the other side.

you know how most movies/tv shows always make the US look so nice and awesome? well, I'm actually missing Malayia now. sure US is nice and all, but there's nothing like home right?
I'm missing the people back home too. It seems like I'm missing out on so much with you guys by being so very far away.

I'm blogging at 1230 midnight at the hotel lobby. there isn't anything much to do at night when you're on holiday with your parents. I can't exactly sneak out to the pub for a drink of something right? also, the legal drinking age in the US is 21 and I'd much rather not get arrested tonight.
on a side note, radio stations in US really play good stuff.

Oh, and can you guys start coming online in the afternoons so that I actually have people to talk to?
for your info, US is 15 hours behind.
and to help you people back in Malaysia, that means you minus 3 hours, then change that time from am to pm or vice versa. only it's the day before. still with me?


so, since I come online at night, which is afternoons back home, please come online and talk to me?
please? because having to wait one whole day for your reply is just too long =/

can't wait to get back to see all of you. miss you people
but that doesn't mean I'm not going to enjoy the rest of my time here =P

sam out.

Just Keep Me Where The Light Is

No, I'm not colour blind, I know the world is black and white.
But, I know a girl, she puts the colour inside of my world.
She's got me buzzing just like, neon, neon.
and all these emotions keep holding me from giving my life to a rainbow like you
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain
Cause when you're dreaming with a broken heart, waking up is the hardest part
My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room
Gravity wants to bring me down
so I ask myself, am I living it right?
cause i'm in repair, I'm not together but I'm getting there.
it won't all go the way it should but I know the heart of life is good
so just keep me where the light is.

and I felt love, again.

My cover of Manchester Orchestra's I Can Feel A Hot One.
 I had to do the whole thing multiple times because I kept messing up the lyrics towards the end of the song.
Hope you guys like it  =D

Concerts and more concerts

Hey people,

so if you didn't already know, MTV World Stage, Orianthi and Slash were kind enough to grace us with awesome concerts right here in KL

What's even better is that I had tickets for all 3 of these awesome events.

First up, MTV World Stage.

got a text from Nicole saying that she has tickets the day before. THANK YOU NICOLE! =D arrived late because I went to G2 first. missed out on Bunkface. decided to meet up with the sarawakians for a short while to celebrate Julie's birthday. missed Wondergirls. finally went to the actually concert and waited for an hour in the drizzle for Tokio Hotel. they were actually quite good. the singer's a little gay though, but who am I to judge? and knowing only 2 of their songs, it felt like an eternity waiting for them to finish their set. waited another hour for Katy Perry. she was good. and i'm not even a fan. best part? probably Peacock. and i'm sure everyone else will agree.

Summary - late + drizzle + waiting + not knowing most of the songs + tired legs = Kinda Awesome

Orianthi

Gazi had tickets because of his aunt. if you were in Sunway University on tuesday, you will find him trying desperately to sell them to just about everyone. I didn't go though. it was held in KL city itself, was too tired/lazy to drive up there on a weekday. and I had to save my energy for the next day.

The next day : Slash

bought the tickets myself. it costs me RM180. was kinda broke after that. King Yang and Kai Xiang went earlier to line up.decided to stay in college to hang out after classes. went late. to my horror, the gates were closed. I later found out that Amy Search was playing at that time. they blocked of the gates to prevent "too many" people from going inside to make sure Amy Search didn't outshine the main act. waited for 45 minutes just to get in. finally got in. couldn't get to Kai Xiang and King Yang since they were in the front. stood alone and waited 20 minutes for Slash. Slash performed, with Miles Kennedy of course. THEY WERE AWESOME! didn't matter if I was alone or not. if I had to pick the best performances during that concert it would be - nightrain, civil war, slither, starlight, SWEET CHILD O' MINE! (yes, they played THAT song, and it was awesome) and the encore - PARADISE CITY ( yes, they played THIS song too and it too was awesome).

summary - Slash + Miles Kennedy + rock 'n roll + headbanging + going nuts + awesome rock songs + SWEET CHILD O' MINE + PARADISE CITY = AWESOME!

let me just say this, the 2 hours I spent in SLASH was better than the 5 hours I spent in MTV WORLD STAGE.

so yeah, it was an awesome week. 

but now, back to normal life.

AS mock exams are coming soon. I gotta start studying (I know what you're thinking, " pfffft samuel, study? not gonna happen")

"Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" - Neil Young.
