What I Have Been Doing…

Dang! It has been a looooong time since my last post.

No wonder I haven’t been getting new visitors to my blog! Hahahaha…

Anyways, here are the list or rather a brief message or whatever you can call it.. Lol… :p

* * * * *

Last 3 weeks

Did my first simple house music track, in class but not during class. haha… Finished with everything in 2 hours. The final result HERE.

* * * * *

Last 2 weeks

Finished off a hardstyle track.

Melodies and “skeleton” of the music was by a friend of mine, DJ Noozey.

And the extras (sounds/stabs, deep bass kick, effects) by me.

The track is then titled:

DJ Noozey & DJ Charlton - Q700 Is My Style

And….I created a hardstyle track, an anthem for the shuffle crew (THA Shufflers) that I’m in. It’s titled:

Charlton Gomes - THA Shufflers (The Hardstyle Agentz)

Click HERE to listen (It’s in my MySpace page).

~OR~

Watch this video that I’ve edited below. Featuring some of my friends in THA while promoting/announcing our new Name (we were previously known as HSA), Logo, and our own Anthem!

Enjoy the video…

Bowling…

It was a Wednesday noon.   Right after my morning class 9AM - 11AM.

Played bowling at Centre Point with my college friends (Nooz, Fray, Mel, Zuan, Nick, Athirah, Eryl, Jaff, Wan, and 2 others whose names I don’t know. lol..sorry.^^)

We had fun.  Especially me, I guess.  Haha..  Cos’ honestly, I’ve never played bowling before.  NOT EVEN ONCE!  I have to say, I was quite OK for my first time.  Hehehe…  Thanks to Zuan for teaching me.

Zuan, Nooz and I were in one team, playing in one lane.  We played 2 rounds.  Quite addictive really.  Mel, Nick and Fray too was in one team and played their 2nd round.

The rest only played one round.

Shoutout to those who never played bowling before, “Go Play!”
It’s really fun!

After that, most of us went back to college for our next class at 2PM.  The others went back home.

老师嫁老大 Ah Long Pte Ltd

Last 2 days, which was a Tuesday noon, my friends and I went out to watch “Ah Long Pte Ltd” at Growball Cinema, Centre Point.

It’s a Singaporean movie. Below’s a trailer and summary of what this movie is about.

====================

“ Ah Long Pte Ltd is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. The movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment on the underworld. It depicts how a young lady, Li Hua (Fann Wong) tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and ‘loving’ triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader (Richard Low) who retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Li Hua tired of her mother’s constant nagging to get married, she finally relented and proposed to Mr Fang (Mark Lee), an effeminate dance instructor cum image stylist. Surprised to many and even herself, Mr Fang accepted the proposal. The unusual union, despite the misfits, soon blossom into love. “

It’s a MUST WATCH film! Really damn hilarious! LOL…

My band. Hilarious Jamming Session.

Yes. The title says it all. Haha….

Before I start, let me introduce to you my band members who was present.

Date: 10th of March 2008 Time: 5PM - 10PM

• Kenneth - Keyboard/Guitar/Vocal
• Janice - Keyboard
• Shannon - Guitar
• Royston - Bass
• Charlton (that is me, hehe..) - Drums
• Alvin - Vocal

The members absent were Christopher (guitar) and Ally Ron (guitar). It was Janice’s 1st time to be with us. Janice is Kenneth’s younger sister who plays keyboard very well just like her brother Kenneth. ;p
Ally was with us last year but replaced with Shannon as he was busy working. Christopher did join us last year but only for few days cos’ he had to study in Kuala Lumpur. And now he’s back to do practical.

Jamming Session * * * * *
It has been almost three weeks since our last jam session. We had planned to have jamming sessions every Sundays. But for the past 2 weeks, either one or two members couldn’t make it due to some reason. heh….

Anyway, we got to jam on the 3rd Sunday! Yeay! Lol…

So, the hilarious part that I want to mention is, our singer, Alvin, was confused with one song’s chorus and verse’s tune/key. I think we played that same song over and over for almost 5 times before we could finish of the whole thing. Hahaha…… It was damn funny! Too bad didn’t have that moment recorded on video. Huhu….

Oh, another part is, when we supposed to start a song, but somebody just got “itchy fingers” and couldn’t stop playing his own instrument (in other words, syok sendiri), and I would just beat the hell out of the drums to get their attention. Haha… When I first did that, all of them just stopped talking and making noise and just stared at me for a few second and then started laughing.

Well, other than that, we had fun!!!

Fresh Hardstyle Track

Hey what’s up?

I’ve produced my first Hardstyle track. It’s my first attempt creating it. So you can say i’m not that experienced enough. But before i did this track, i searched and browsed the internet for tips on creating a nice hardstyle track and i came up with MY best.

You can check it out HERE. I named the track Late Nite.
Oh yes, it’s also available for download. And you can share it with your friends! Hehe… Thanks for your support!

UFOs

Do you believe in UFOs?  Well, I believe.  …and there’s a reason for me to believe. No questions asked. =p

My dad had an encounter with one of their “spaceship”.  It happen about 10-20 years ago when he was residing in Australia.  He said he saw this red and green light.  I want to explain it in details but the time doesn’t allow me to. Haha.. How lame. (I might update this post)

Speaking about UFOs, I saw this video from Yahoo! about a week (or so) ago.  Then I quickly copied the link to show all of you.

Here’s the link (it’ll open in a new window):

Check it out for yourself.  Maybe you can post a link too, when you give a comment.

Hello people!

This is my WordPress Blog, as you can see (obviously.. LOL).

I started blogging end of last year.  I blogged on Blogger but now I’ve decided to switch to WordPress as my Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0 scanned Blogger and warned that it’s a phishing website. Huhu…

It’s not only that reason tho’.  It’s because WordPress offers 3GB of space for upload stuff!

You can check out my previous posts in Blogger:
http://charltongomes.blogspot.com no longer available.  I’ve deleted it.

So till here then.  Do come back for new posts by me.
