Abnormally Long Shaft

I took it out. She looked at it. She was very excited. I could see in her eyes that she loved it. I knew she adored it. And it was obvious that she wanted to touch and feel it.

Yes, she loves the abnormally long shaft of my new guitar.

Cheers!

Shit Happens - A Song

Early evening, and Bert drags Ah Chig and me into the garden. "I just composed my very first song," he says, "and even Apple thinks it's great."

Ah Chig and I look at him in surprise as he pulls out his 3G phone, selects an audio file (probably recorded by Apple and Bert to the accompaniment of some Jazz music), and plays it. The rough and unsophisticated voice of Bert screams out of the speaker of his phone:

Shit happens,
Yes, it happens,
Happens, happens everyday,

(Female chorus* – happens everyday)

But don't you fret my dear,
Now, don't you fret my dear,

(Female chorus* – don't fret my dear)

Just take some toilet paper,
Or a roll of tissue paper,
(Repeat...)

And wipe it; wipe it all away,
Wipe it all away,
Just wipe it all away,

(Female chorus – wipe it all away, wipe it all away... fades)

"How 'bout that?" he asks us.

"Simply unimaginable!" I bark. Ah Chig doesn't look so sure.

"But why sing such songs when your wedding is just around the corner?" I ask Bert.

"No, no, no," he shakes his head vigorously. "I was inspired by Ah Chig's troubles, and therefore this song is dedicated to him," he says.

"Aha!" I nod. Ah Chig, on the other hand doesn't seem impressed and keeps staring at Bert. He is convinced that Apple and Bert are laughing behind his back. Well, I think so too.

Cheers!

* - Apple's voice alongside Bert trying to sing in a soft voice, before switching back to his normal voice after the chorus.

Messing With Music

If you hear odd sounds when See Lai (this page) is loading, trust me it has nothing to do with ghosts messing with your computer.

I am messing with the new File Manager of Typepad.

I have uploaded one of my own music creations, and since I am still cursed on dial-up, I hear bits and pieces of the music from time to time.

The sounds are strictly experimental at this stage. And all this is costing me a lot as far as bandwidth is concerned.

What I really would like to know is that, does the music play alright on your computer? Here's the link for you to control it, and hopefully it will work.

UPDATE: I have removed the music link as it was consuming a lot of bandwidth.

Any and all feedback (including flame) is more than welcome on this issue. If the experiment succeeds, I might add music to girlie pictures. Not a promise, but well...

PS: The clip should be 00:07 long. For me, however, it just plays two beats. HOOLALA!

Serious Research And Discovery

Either they love it or it scares the shit out of them.

My dogs were audience to my saxophone performance last night. All three of them kept watching me with expressions as if the end was near.

Could it be that due to their hearing frequency range the distinct sound of saxophone terrorizes them? Or could it be they love it so much that they feel high? I have never seen such expressions (on their faces) before.

P.s: They had absolutely no reaction to this music. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about that.

Note: Link opens in new window. Bert's episode posts coming up later today.
