not too shabby

if you raise your expectations too high you are bound to be disappointed.

careful there. steady...

unpoetic

in a way, in poetry, you try and convey lots of meaning using just a few words. 

rollercoaster -
1. to go up and down like a roller coaster; rise and fall: a narrow road roller-coastering around the mountain; a lightboat roller-coastering over the waves.
2. to experience a period of prosperity, happiness, security, or the like, followed by a contrasting period of economic depression, despair, or the like; the economy was roller-coastering throughout most of the decade. 

which i thought was apt for my last post.

you find the opposite in maths definitions. whole paragraphs of words to describe so little!

Theorem: If S is a finite, non-empty set of vectors in a vector space V, then span(S) is a subspace of V. Further, span(S) is the smallest subspace containing S (in the sense that span(S) is a subspace of every subspace which contains S).

SOS.

the world is a complicated place, hobbes


i've been guitar-less for a month and a week. finally back in singapore...

whenever i sit down with a guitar for the first time in a long while i start out with some old radiohead love songs, those released before they ditched their guitars from kid a onwards.

you. true love waits. love the keyboard line in that one. 

street spirit, which isn't a love song.

once again, had a tough worlds regatta. placing 72nd, 19th in silver fleet is respectable, and an improvement over last year's result, but still chalking up too many costly mistakes, many of them easily avoidable. 

on the plus side, my first ever youtube video reached a 1,000 hits before the end of the regatta, quite an achievement if i may say so myself. 

65daysofstatic have released a new album that i'm not a fan of. disappointed. i think they were around their peak playing primer. such a great variety of sounds in the opening 3-4 minutes.

whenever it seems that way, i take a nap in a tree and wait for dinner.
