Hmmm...my first entry in the world of blogging. This might prove interesting. To myself of course. Do other people really read other people's blog's and shit? I really need to clean my room up. I've been sick for 2 weeks so I've been too lazy to filter all the trash out. No, wait a minute, my room's ALWAYS messy, whether I'm sick or not. Having mentioned that I've been sick, I'm actually loadz better now compared to...well...yesterday and all the days before that. There were times I felt like (as the Aussies put it) shit run over twice. Thank god the fever has gone away. that was terrible. Now all I have to deal with is this VERY annoying cough. I can't even sing with this voice. Here's hoping I recover in time for next week's recording session with Luke. Luke's this friend of mine who's doing Audio Engineering. He's recorded me a couple of times for a project of his and now he's recording my first effort at a proper 6 track album (or EP if you will). If you don't know me (you probably don't) I'm a very musically oriented person. I can't read notes and I'm not pitch perfect but I've been playing the guitar for almost 7 years and I've been performing for almost 7 years as well (4 years in a band and 3 years solo). I've been singing for 6 years and I've been writing for 3. So as you can see I've been involved in this sorta thing for quite some time now. The chance to record a proper EP for free (Luke has access to his school's studios and equipment for free) is just simply spine-tinggling!!! I even formed a band the moment I agreed with Luke to get my shit recorded. It's been in the back of my mind for along time now but I was just waiting for the right time. I got together with this other friend of mine who always plays percussion for me, Kenn Nee. Kenn Nee is so far the only musician I've met that's been able to just flow with the stuff I write. We even have a song that we put together hours before a student union ball we were supposed to perform for. I named it "Jamming with Kenn Nee". Cheesy I know...but I like it =) Anyway, me and Kenn Nee are the pioneering members of our new band, Rainy Day Acoustics. We're gonna have to find somebody to play the bass. How rude of me, I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Mohammed Reza Sallehuddin. The Mohammed part is a tribute to my prophet (I'm Muslim) and often gets confused with my given name, Reza. So call me Reza. I was born and bred in Malaysia and I'm of Malay, Bugis, and Arabian descent. My Dad reckons we got a bit of Dutch blood on his side too. Wouldn't be surprised. The Dutch loved invading us back in the day. For the ill-informed, being born in Malaysia doesn't make you Malay. Being born in Malaysia makes you Malaysian. The Malays are just 1 of the 3 main ethnic races in Malaysia (Malay, Chinese, Indian) in addition tons of other sub-ethnic groups. Sounds complicated? No? Good. Yes? Try reading it again. I never thought all of this was confusing to anybody else till I came to Australia and I had to explain the difference. Educational institutions include SRK Sri Petaling (1 day), SRK Damansara Utama (2 years), SRK Iskandar (4 years), Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid (1 year), Bukit Bintang Boys School (4 years), Sunway College MUFY Program (1 year), Monash Uni Malaysia (1 year), and finally Monash Uni Clayton (2 years). I have a very complex personality. At times I can be cool, calm and focused under pressure, and other times I tend to freak like nobody's business. I can be the happiest, friendliest, and nicest dude one day and on other days I can be as quiet and as silent as a passing stranger. I have a temper but years of training has enabled me to control it. I can be moody but only to those close to me. I absolutely love my friends and I truly believe my friends help keep my life together. I live in a community oriented accomodation area and I am currently 1 of 9 Resident Advisors charged with taking care of an allocated amount of residents living here. We're expected and trained to be high-profile support type individuals that help keep the place together. I'm a pretty developed social person, having been thrown in the deep end ever since I was young, and at the same time I can be quite the loner. That's pretty much me I guess. Can't think of anything else at the moment. Next Entry! |

Sheesh...I think I almost coughed my lungs out a moment ago. This cough is getting life threatening. It actually woke me up from a nice lil' nap I was having. Oh well, I needed to take a shower anyway. After that I need to figure out what to eat with the tuna mix I made up today. Triangle sandwhich-ing them would make them too irritable for my throat. I guess I'll just have to eat it with plain bread then. Yuck. I hate eating cold bread. I put mine in the fridge to make it last longer. I think I'll check up what the rest of the Hall up to. The place where I live is called the Halls of Residence. My Hall is called Richardson Hall, or Richo Hall. |

| Aaaaah. I just got out of the shower. Right before that I decided to watch Terminator 3. Thanx to the wonders of the Halls network I was able to watch it on my laptop. Now, alot of ppl said it was crap and whatvr, but I kinda liked the non-stop mindblowing action. Hmmm...well...okay...so maybe there was abit of excessive destruction, and then you have little parts here and there that didn't make sense, like how can something as awesome as the TX, with its sensors (infrared, biometric, whatvr) couldn't even tell that Claire Daines was hiding behind the cabinet when she walked into vetinary clinic? And how did the Connor dude, Claire, and big ol' Arnie just waltz into Claire's dad's top secret, high-level clearence command center? But other than that the action was pretty good. I like how Arnie kicked it. That was a cool way to go. | ||||||
