[SMP] Sad

It's sad day for us all. Blink 182 has announced their indefinite hiatus. I was worried about this. There were rumours that cracks were appearing in the band. Haiz.. i hope that they will decide to keep on playing and i'll be able to catch at least one of their shows before i die. Gone are the days when talking about blowjobs and paedophiles on stage was an ok thing to do. Gone are the days when cussing and dissing on stage was an ok thing to do. It's a very sad day for us all. And to think they decided to take it sometime near my birthday. haiz.. sad day. if only someone got me the urethra chronicles, everything would be fine right now. Blink 182 saw me thru lots of stuff. i still remember practising songs by them. working hard on them. I still remember watching their videos and analysing their songs. I still remember watching them run around naked in the what's my age again video over and over again. i still remember, telling myself that someday, i'll be just like mark hoppus. i still remember spending hours and days reading up stories about them. i still remember spending time to write songs just like they did only to fail miserably. i still remember arguing with someone just caused he said that anybody could play like blink 182 and nothing went into their songs.

It's been more than a decade since they've been together. I just hope that they will stay together for the fans. Here's to my hero, Mark Hoppus! Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, fart, turd and twat. Salutations!

To be honest with you guys, I've always thought that ArPee wouldn't be here if i didn't get obsessed with Blink-182 and trying to be just like em. ArPee wouldn't be here if i always felt like putting up performance just like they did. ArPee wouldn't be here if i wasn't into Blink-182 and rose above the initial feelings of being rejected from a band and meeting evelyn outside the toilet and forming a band with her. So yeap, it's a sad day for me, for us all.

Directions

Okay I referred to my handy dandy bus guide and realised one can get to the Yusof Ishak Hall (that's where doubleyellowline:inhabitant, our gig, will be held at) by 3 buses:

95: Loop service between North Buona Vista Terminal and Kent Ridge Terminal.

96: Loop service from Clementi Interchange. Personally I feel this is the easiest route to take, cause it's near Clementi MRT Station.
  • Upon your exit from the ticketing machines, turn left and board the escalator.
  • Follow the sheltered pathway; it'll lead you to the interchange.
  • Alight at the 9th stop, which is the stop after the chinese library bus stop (the interchange being the first stop).
  • Cross the road and whoopadeedoo, the Yusof Ishak House should be within walking distance. That's what the map tells me lah at least

151: Hougang Central and Kent Ridge. For NP students you can board it from the bus stop opposite NP and alight at the 10th stop. Don't have to cross the road.

Quite boringly comprehensive I know. I don't know how to get there myself actually, haha! Shall ask the organisers for directions. Hope this helps man. :)

[SMP] Question The Answer

Finally got this opportunity to blog/log into this blog. Ok let me see where do we begin? Well the band has been progressing that's something. We've come up with pretty neat new material that somehow we're not interested on working on. Seems to me we're all caught up covering than focussing on our originals as we had proposed a few weeks back. So that's something. I have no idea what's gonna happen next, but i assure u, it'll be an exciting chapter for ArPee and i'm sure you guys can't wait! cause whatever is gonna happen, is going to be a bang for ArPee!

Hahaz! Ok, so i really do hope to see you guys at our acoustic set this 12th feb. so..yeap.. it'll be great to see some familiar faces there! aha! so yeap.

This is a note to the band:

Hmm, ok i'm really cool with us covering. As it does help us to destress. so dun take me wrong here k? but i'm seriously more enthusiastic about us doing our originals. i'm serious. like growing in harmony. how about we give Reinventing Yourself a try? Maybe the tune is not right, maybe this maybe that but we can work it out right? how about Different Worlds? are we ever going to do that or not? and how about aisen's new song? how about eve's new song? are we ever going to work on them or just let them be? if we're going to make it, let's mighty well act like we're gonna make it. and while we're at it, why dun we not only act but actually believe that we will make it and give it that extra push. i know we're all caught up academically but really, we can do it if we put our hearts and minds to it! i believe we can. I believe in ArPee.

On that note i would like to propose we design new band shirts!! how about that eh? i really think we should all sit down sometime soon and discuss our band materials. i'm serious about this. but on taht note i would also like to say i'm glad that we're doing screamo covers somehow! hahaz! so what we should do is actually do both. covers and yet focus on originals. it's no use covering if u're never going to feed off the influences. if u're never going to feed off the influences i suggest we don't listen to any music besides ours. i'm serious. so yeap. this is ari signing off.
