What you are .
You know , i get questions like these all the time …
1) Clement , Why do you play the guitar ?
2) Clement , Why do you need SO many guitars ….?
3) Clement , Why do you shred ?
4) Clement , Why are you into Music ? Why not fishing ?
All of these questions , were asked by non musicians . Sounds familiar ?
I am sure , many of you (musicians) …experienced the same thing like i did. People asked us why do we like something they don’t like . Maybe they are jealous because we have something they don’t 
Funny thing is , non musicians will NEVER understand us . While another musician perfectly understands what we are and who we are . Non musicians don’t really get what GAS is all about , Why do we need to have so many guitars , or what a beautiful complicated song is all about . We Musicians have this mutual understanding on good music , good guitars and GAS .
So , back to the question , how do you answer a question like this ?
Think about it , there are NO proper answers . Most of the time , people will go ..“Its my passion and what i like to do” . Which will lead to more confusion .
The best answer for this is ..“Because i am a musician”
This is Who i am . This is MY NATURE . So , why are you questioning my nature ? I love music , I love playing , i am BORN to love it . I am sorry if you do not understand it .
My collection when i was 20 years old . I save all my clubbing money and spend on gears .
(Left to right , Ibanez Roadstar 82′ MIJ , Charvel Super Strat 87′ MIJ , Epiphone 56′ Gold top MIK , Fender Splattercaster Limited Edition MIM ’03 , Musicman Axis MIA ’04 , Epiphone LP Std MIK ’98 , Hammer Les Paul Copy , Gibson LP Custom ’90 MIA )
You see , the same thing goes when people question God & Religion .
Why did God create humans ?
If God knows the past and the present , he already know by creating humans , some will make it to heaven , some will go to hell …and he LOVES us . Why create humans in the first place ? Doesn’t make sense .
The answer is , because God is a creator . It is HIS nature to CREATE . That is what God is .
Its like asking an artist , “why do you draw?” .
Okay , i get this question really really alot …“Why am i so random?”
and also “Why gapnap.com has soooo many random things ?” which is about the same ..
Because , i am a man with imagination . This is who i am . A certain something that I happen to have in abundance ….. imagination .
Being Random , is being unpredictable . Being unpredictable is IMAGINATION .
Okay lah , i admit that speech was to counter all you technical , robotic math genius..which is something i lack of..
Back to religion and creation , i’ve heard many theories about evolution . Let us put science & religion aside on this .
The reason i do not accept everything happens by chance , is because i have imaginations . I believe in imagination cause it live inside me . Evolution exist , but it is a process , guided by a higher being or a smarter being with abundance of imagination .
When you say , everything is a coincidence and everything happens by chance . You are also saying , there is no imagination ..
How random .

a lot of people don do what they like to do. they jst tell themselves they wan MONEY and earn for 10 yrs or so, then can retire early and do what they like. but the thing is…….when they are earning money, they are spending also in order to buy the things they like even if they are sort of like a short term fix. so…more money, more expenses and their 10 yrs dream will never come true.
then they go around asking people like urself…why are you doing this? and i’m sure behind their back, they are saying “u cant earn shit with what you are doing”.
because to them, what u are doing just doesnt make sense to them.

@Alvin.Well, what people don’t understand is …money is always secondary . Value is always top priority . Value could be in the form of happiness , satisfaction , making a difference …when you have value , the money comes in . If you’re always going for money , you will never have value . hmmm, a little deep ? :p
@sinyiter. Okay , here is a list of what i do when i was 17-20 ..
1.Part time guitar teacher
2.Perform for Events
3.Perform for Clubs & Pubs
4.Buy and Sell Musical Instruments on a small scale
