new axe! Les Paul 100

Les Paul..the axe of my dream
Here in my hands,
Flashing the vantage finishing with powerful rock n roll sound.
Although the Les Paul 100 may not suited my sound, but its a legend!!
The cheapest version of Les Paul i guess, excluding Junior model.
Maybe Seymour Duncan will be team up with my axe to produce a tough and evil sound.

Maybe u can associate Les Paul with,
Slash
Zakk Wylde(bulls eye version) damn nice-i've tried em at guitar store..solid crazy sound...damn!!!
MCR-guitarists
Joe Wings..U rock!!!!

Kungfu Panda..or Pandan?

kungfu panda can be the film-of-the year.stomach-bursting scene through out the movie made my saliva empty.haha.
i just watch the hilarious movie yesterday.no regret n satisfaction guaranteed for the price ticket(rm10). but i watch it for free,kaw-tim wif my friends at my former working place.
i'm former cinema crew for past 1 year. movie and me cannot be spread apart, right now i even can critic movies.hehe. truly speak, watch movies/going to cinema is not my hobby.there are only certain movie that really ask me to watch it. it depends on the theme and storyline basically.i'm not a person that ''semua movie baru nk tgk''.the movies that has aura and good story line r preferred regardless who the fish r the characters .
by d way,kungfu panda is a fun n enjoyable movie. watch or cry.hehe. "no charge for awesomeness"

musical mind think alike

how to compose a great song? theres an article bout it from iband.net. checkitout..or just go to the edited version of it in tempayan forum.
is it about our knowledge? ability? or special power(gifted)?
its not easy to create a song without some influences from our favorites music. rite? for me..its is normal..y? many songs used same progression of chord and sometimes we can hear the tune quite the same, the only things differ is the lyrics and the voice. the influences from our favorites music is normal, we listen to music that we like and we create music that we like. we tend to sing and play as our fav singer or band. we dressed like them as well..
its not about originality here...its just a support for all the songwriters.
