wah sia la!! fed up...my laptop spoil!!! the hard disk gave up one me.. can't believe, all my work, pictures and mp3 ALL GONE. Worst still my uncles contact also all gone. He's so gonna kill. WHY Toshiba is so unreliable. heard of many cases of the laptop spoiling. man...i made a bad choice last year to get toshiba. Then now how?? i sit at home whining like a small kid. Today was business law tutorial, it was somewhat good ba. Finally a proj finally off my load, exams are drawing near, so i better go study. God, i promise i'll be a good boy, to study and obey :)

Sup, just came back from the marina carnival gig. Man...it was disaster,poor equiptment, since it's ultra late at night, there was barely any soul except our own ppl which brightens up the place. I cna't believe the amp i'm suppose to use gave way by the previous band!!! then end up i shared the keyboard with syl, which i'm fine with, just that the sounds become very muffled. What's worst i forget my chords for moment like this!! i was just stunt there, and action a little. No, i'm not nervous...just suddenly brain stop, i just stood there, looking so lost in space. I'm not ashame to tell u guys that i think the crowds was less than 20. That place is very ULU(remote), very deep inside the marina park, and it's late at night at around 9.15 I think if we never inform some friends to come, i doubt anyone will go there. This is a first time i see a carnival so dead!!! ahrgg... don't worry, i'll post some pic up soon, cheers :)

hey hey, past two day has been a blast for me at the festival of praise. Delrious and Hillsong led the praise and worship! haha, got to say atmosphere last night was the best. Cuz after service, there is a additional 1 hour of praise and worship. Martin smith, vocals of Delirious have awesome vocals, and he look very charming too, haha, i tink many girls are swooning over him. Not forgeting to mention, that we're there to worship God. Not because of the band, the band are only there to minister to the congregation, just like i was serving as a usher. Truely i was richly blessed with the presence of God the past few days. Although i did deal with some nasty congregation ppl who true nasty remarks at us ushers, and our flow of traffic. But it wasn't easy to usher in 11000 people into indoor in the first place, and i'm in no position to make decision on whether i can open my zone or not. I recieved cold stare, scolding, harsh argument. But well, some are really desperate to get in. This week is gonna be hectic for me, 12 aug gig is coming up and we've not practice much!!. Plus there is CMA test 2 and ECD exams. Oh Lord, i trust that you'll guide me safely through, and i'll make the effort to study my stuff :)

i recieve my last paper, financial management. gosh i failed!! got 42/100, man....i deserved to be headshot. I was totally procrastinating all these while la. HOWHOW??!??!?!? very stress leh, if i dun live up to my parents expection, it'll affect my allowance, going for ministry and band! I think i better repent quickly now, boo hoo. Seriously i feel arh, even if i study these stuff, i doubt i'll put it to use when i work in the society. So manz...this is training of our mind or what. I pass Jing her bracelet i bought for her, she likes it!!! haha, glad that she does, if not i'll be wasting my $30. That's alot for my current finiancial situation. blah blah...nitez sleepy

are Fender guitar really that great? well i own one myself, i always tot it was superior until today. Pierson's teacher apparently is a guru in the guitar business. I visited the shop, look basically like some chapalang old christian bookstore. He's a middle-aged man with cheesy moustache and fairly plump. Really one cannot judge ppl by it's look. Cuz deep inside his brain is tone of hidden secrets of guitars parts, and techinque that even i myself could not imagine. I once hold the vigier sold in his shop. average looking, it cost $3.4K!! I tot i was pretty average after playing. It seems that i "bu shi huo" or dunno my goods well. It made up of a ages 7 years alder, with dimarzio virtual tele Pu. hardtail. one thing is i tot why such guitar he say is good?? then i met chee seng today. Darn, he improved so so much, can shred like no body business with great clarity. Well he is trained up 6 months by that cheesy old man. He told us that recent fender are infact made with many pieces of solid wood, and they are so called 'solid'. it's true that fender used to be good, before the 80s period. Then the quality deteriorate, i would say that their guitar are now sh*ty. Attaining good sounds i not about the pick up, but the woods play ultra important role. That Vigier with that dimarzio can easily beat sounds of a PRS and not only that, can attain wide range of sounds, partly because of the Pu, but much due to the nature of wood. Dynamic range is the hi-low sounds that can be audible and clearly define, like the space btw bass and treble. i now know that setting distortion at max can produce clean tone too, by the way you play. and that's dynamic. i was totally have my eye open!! that the definition of tone you can get by having extreme techqinue, match with good wood. Now i know world's best Pu is not like dimarzio, or seymour which is ultra comercialise, but Joe barton. and when it come to guitar, you need not have a custom shop fender, touched by many luther of many department in the headquaters, and so called 'customise', and those $8k gibson hostoric. All these are bulls*ht man!! it's not the amount u pay but the quality. If american guitar are so good, why are the best produced violin, etc are made in european country?? you see, american are good at commericalising, but they do not have the climatic condition to grow those high quality wood, like pure alders, or walnut, rosewood. They handle their wood in so called"condition" room with dehumifier, while luther in europe already have the climate to make quality instrument, one that is truely customise. why pay for a fender/ibanez, just a brand name for material with wood inside equivilent to a J and D/ TGM/ samick?? oh man...i felt that many people have had themself cheated, by overcommercialise guitar. Check our sandberg or vigier guitars. they are really what it means by quality instrument. As they make a difference. They have exactly what you pay for, those wood that are from the right climate countries. thick rosewood fingerboard which have so much more denser tone, unlike a coated 'rosewood' fender fingerboard in their standard series which sounds so bright!! my mind today have truely been open...

gagaga....die, common test result is a disaster. I did really badly, latest result, business law i got 43. can't believe i fail la, my structure case study all wrong case. haha very jia lat. now got to go for retest. Nvm i'll make sure is pass the retest. Grrrrr, i dun hate blaw, just that...stupid la, how i fail!!! ono.... and my human resource only just pass..52, wah sianz...

Happy Bdae Jing!!!
ok it's one day lagging, her actual bdae is in 29, but ya this good friend of mine whom i really treasure :)

oh ya aniwae today rox!! went to Sonicfest 2005 with pierson. He managed to get me a free ticket and walla, enjoying myself in this lengendary praise festival. As expected, big acts like Parousia and vertical rush performed. They sounds really awesome on stage, i mean their presense is there, sounds is a lil messy tho, everyone is playig too much. Planet shakers force our butts up, but we worship in His presence for around 1/2 hr. They sounds much more louder than synergy conference, haha!! after that i rushed to silas house to to write forms for the upcoming gigs. And discuss a whole lot of techincal issue in the songs we're performing. Watch steve vai's clip and comment how retarded he look while he stred, with those wierdo emotion, nontheless he's PRO... well i wished that i can master pitch hearing. Silas is close, he can practically play the note immediately he hear the note from ANY song. That's already like a grade 8 stuff?? Once again, thank God for the oppurtunity to perform in marina carnival one 12aug, so guys, pls do come and support us k?? gettin tired liao, nitezy

Today had a awesome bible study lesson with pst Tan on the holy spirit. Really amazing to know that we are all part of God's mirrored creation. That we are created in his image to do great things. That God is a able to create the universe and, ya he is just there from the beginning. To see us through all the problem we've face. pst Tan mention about idols that really struck me. That if people can worship idols, that they've made themself, they must well call themself God cuz they made those idol figure or gods. And God is someone who was there from the beginning, no one created him. How awesome it is to know that Jesus is our intercesor for our sins, Holy spirit is a part of God that is living in us. God has a triune nature. And so with this we're able to perform healing, cast out demon, perform miracles in his name! today we had a interesting execise to practice our discerment skills, so pst called us to pray with a brother that we don't know. So led by the spirit i pray and i begin to speak about this guy family prob. The Holy spirit probe me that there is something going on between he and his family, in terms of his priorities in life and etc. True enough, he told me that he didn't spend enough time with his family and his fiances cause he is busy working. You know after all, i feel family ties are the most important because ur mum and and dad are those ppl that you can really trust. So now i shall continue to exercise my faith and discerment, making a difference in the life of people around me.

woo hoo... recently been addicted to mahjong again!!! this morning went to gym with my pos friends. Gotta admit i'm so weak la!! do the bench press, can barely do 50lbs. Man..i need to exercise more. After which went to joel house play mahjong!!!, wah ha so fun, we were like making a din on the table, and i was nicknamed "locker" as i kept on not letting my neighbour eat my tile, truely a wonderful time of fellowship. Jing arh, she really lacked the sense of direction man..haha, very tho, she like to call me on where to take bus to where etc... i'm glad somehow another, cuz at least i got this chance to chat wid her a lil. many times altho i wish i could talk to her more, i kept thinking of the vow she made, and i intend to help her to stick firm to that. It's been close to like 1year? since i've known her. Truely she's a friend that is always very encouraging. I tink in my mind, definitely she's more mature than me. Is like whose not la, but i'm glad to stick at the position i am so far. and praise God, i complete my bible reading for month of April, will continue to be rooted in the word of God. Baoie outz

It's extremely bored today, i totally stucked at home, but i'm sure looking forward to my parade of sch practice tomorrow. That's not the key point... i tink i pissed many people of nowadays, dunno why. Is is becuz i used really bad english, or is it they keep misunderstanding my meaning?? I pissed a ger that holds a impt position in my heart, and i'm deeply. I know i'm such a weakingly, that i even resort to even asking you to call my retard, because i'm insenstive. *sob* my heart ache badly, i do hope that chionging my bible reading now can heal the wound. Seek Jesus first in whatever you do and all shall be added unto you, yup i know it theoratically, but now i can only seek refuge in Him.

Serious fun i had today, cuz i sneak into aCjC, haha...by the main entrance summore. Actually, i was wearing my fairfield t-shirt to get in. Go in for what?? it's to try the man tou from the canteen. HAHA, pretty bo liao rite... Last thurs, i met Jing la, then got to know her best pal in school, Jamie. So ya, i really get along pretty well with her, although she's so stern. What things cool, she come to school everyday from JB, cuz she lived there and she loves daydreaming, haha. Nice one man ger...and Jing was saying i was despo for asking for Jamie's number. haha, did i smell sour grapes? Aiya know that she isn't like that, must be kidding. Really look forward to this wed for some great fun of badminton with them. At the mean time guys, my band's site is being updated liao, do go in and check it out with your free Baoie outz :)

wah la, awesome day i had today!!! day started off ultra boring, i woke up at only 12 today. and ate korean instant noodle for lunch which i'm quite gelat of it already. Feel that holiday is really so bored la, imagine so much more fun u can have in school with your classmate and all, talking having etc. At home..all i have this just this com. Watched internal affair 2 and 3 which was so heart pumping la. i know, i'm a guy, but the plot just keep making me guess what will happen next. And my heart was just left hanging there with ? all over my head, haha. Highlight for today is jamming with my band once again. Today we came off tighter defintely, and somehow felt that we're closely bonded more than ever. At least, our talantime songs are more in order as compared to last week. This song ain't any little bit easy, cuz there are many notes to play, not chords, notes!! and the 2 guitarist and bassist have to coordinate zun zun in timing one leh. It sure was real fun, Silas had fans (cell members) coming into the jamming room. I guess soon, outside the studio will have people staring at us liao, haha. But i feel, that most importantly, my bandmate are comfortable with one another, which is good. Finally, i hear music and not noise, haha!!just so happy that no words can be put into what i'm feeling in my hearts right now. Praise God!! Baoie outz

Oh man... Staying at home is freggin bored, i really want to get a job leh. Next week is church live recording liao, and i'm very excited about it!! finally after 5 years, and man, my church musician write really good praise and worship. Been very busy composing song these few days. 2 days ago i had a jamming session with my band member, well it was fun. We're now working on our second song named Now i'm free. Probably playing that in Talentime this year. I too had wrote 2 set of music, ready to be fill with lyrics, namely fly away and chak chak. My bassit edmund also came up with new song named everything. Felt very encourage by the Word of God ova the weeks. As my past few cell has been about the importance of Word of God, yea... i begin to realise how much power the Word has in our life. Basically, my dream in the my band also gave birth from the word, esp in Acts 1:8. Going the ends of the earth may be tough, i may not be good as a guitarist, but i know God will make full use of me to accomplish his purpose for me here. I may not got to missions trip, but song that i wrote, are rhema word from God. And they carry the presense, which is why i believe in composing music to let others hear. Our Dream, Revolution's dream, to be not like Planet Shakers, or United, but have the same vision...to bring the origin of music back to it's original purpose, for Him. At the mean time, back for guitar practice now. My teacher want me to starts scaling in chords, namely A pentanoic and C major...muahah tough sia..so many patterns, stress..take things slowly ba, Baoie outz

yea hoo!!! exams finally...i really have a sense of relief, at least i now i can be more devoted to my ministry in usher. When to church today as usual, but i've been allocated to do traffic 3! maybe some of you guys who don't know, in CHC, there is this busing system. So basically, my job is to use the talkie to communicate with the traffic ic... i stutter in some command, ut i feel i come off pretty well for the first time. HEHE, and a short update about my life now. I recently spent 88 bucks for my FBV shortboard and pod xt casing. freaking ex rite, but i do hope that it's worth it. It better be!! but neway... been learning new stuff on guitars lately like rock and roll, quite bluesy in fact, but it's challenging. My band recently also recently wrote a song call, i am free. Basically it's a praise song, but have a little rock element at the start, hopefully we could have a recording of our demo soon, and i'll make sure i post it up here!! Baoie...outz

So sorry that i've nv post for so long. Woo hoo feel so great to be home, Just came back from Tioman!! It Roxs man..2 words to discribe this whole trip FUN and DARK*talkin abt how tan i am now, he he* now my shoulder damn pain, got burnt..k now let me summarise my whole trip for u guys
DAY 1 3rd May : woke up all prepared for the trip, slept late last night at ard 3 cuz too excited abt it. Picked up Pam reached ferry terminal just in time to check in at 8am. Can't believe it! i woke up early in the morning to burn o.c to watch in the trip..end up we only watched one episode. Worse part for this trip is the ferry ride, a agonising 5 hrs ride. Madness! cuz on the day we board the ferry, stupid bunch of united college kiddo were there. Occupied almost the whole ferry, freakin noisy..they spoilt our time in the ferry man. Sms dear, she was still sicked, so rly prayed hard 4 her the past few days. she asked me to collect sand, so i did, what's more she said got something 4 me when i return..hiaz heck, all i focus was the trip. Wished denise her best in her chi paper before i left also. Man, rly wan to apologise to her, sorry sweetie, i said i will keep u updated but i didn't. Not that i'm kiam on my sms la, but my dad will kill me if his bill shoot up, i'm not using my phone..so yah now writing this to tell u abt my trip. Reached tioman at around 2.30pm. And man!!the island is damn big..totally raw and untouch, i simply love nature...water super clear lor.. took the Bajaya Tioman Resort bus to the resort..first look like shit. When i got into the room WHAO, fantastic! we stayed in this area which was furthest away from the recept. so i was really quiet. Simply love the place, all greenery around me. But was starving badly when we checked in. So went to their coffee house. Food was good, i ate their *kari* mee..15rm. You guys might think it is ex, but this is hotel rate lor, summore the price is inclusive of the 10% service charge! Unlike shangri la, got stupid +++ so yar, i rly went there and spent money like no body buisness. After our late lunch, we went back to room to chill. So i start up the vcd player taht i got from Jed and watch o.c!! it rox mans.. sadly i see no point in bringing the player since we only watched 2 epidode..then we rent bicycle to go out of the resort for some shopping. We cycle super uphill and i rem pam was like gonna run dead. Arduous jouney indeed for shoppin. Shop were like those old old type, can't expect to see shoppin in a island rite? pam went frenzy spending 100rm on 4 shawls, they look great on her but..she got it for shin and fish they all. Dinner we ate at Pizza ria, the poolside bar. It was nice, romantic atmosphere..and man, jieling and i become drunkard. We took a Calsberg draft each, then things gotten a little funny, when they start teasing me when my face went red after i bottom up. Lijia and pam took the non alcoholic drink, shirley temple. kidda like sprite. But the pizza was awesome man, thin crust, loads of ingredient in them. With out stomach satisfied, we went back to room and had a early light out.
Day 2 4th May : we woke up totally reluctant to leave our cosy bed. But got to rush for our snorkeling trip at 9.30. Breakfast was exactly like Shangri La..jieling tot she can run away from the place, end up we started chattin abt our work place. 9.30am sharp we gather at lobby to meet our guide for the snorkle trip. for 50rm, snorkeling in super clear water for 5-6 hours cheap right? we went to many nearby island and saw corals, tons of fishes. we went to Tulai island first, 20 mins boat ride from resort. The best among all the snorkeling spot. The sand was like whao! Darn, i nv bring and container for the sand, sorry dear..got for u the resort sand instead. Quite a interesting exp for my 2nd time dive, was able to snorkle properly this time round, nv drank the sea water at all. But Pam was like struggling, poor jie. But later she manage to enjoy herself also la..To all those who wear glasses, u guys shld get contacts man, if not it will a waste if u snorkle in future and can't see the marine life clearly. And that was what jieling was complaining abt. Lijia was rather quiet in this whole trip. Lunch we went to Senang village where we ate someting light. All of us were like disgusted with their toilet..*eeeek* so we drank fruit juices only. Then later we met those ppl sitting in the same speedboat as us, 6 of them all singaporeans too. They're so sweet, helped us took photo cuz we didn't bring cam.. Sad right, no memory at all if those guys were there. Then we took the boat to a nearby island to feed fish. Oh my they're so beautiful!,and a bunch of hungry ghost..throw a bread in and it's gone in no time. Got some close encounter with them and my hand was almost eaten by them also. they are like surrounding me just waiting for me to feed them..sweet sia. We went to a place with those type of sentosa float after the feeding fish..jieling and pam wanted to tan, so i have to pei them lor..*which explain why am i burnt*..so somehow we become friends with those 6 ppl, when Irine asked lijia for the email to send us the pic. We broke up after the snorkle but had a rendezvous a short while later during dinner. At the mean time..we went to the swim pool, after snorkeling..and i got another Calsberg. I just love malaysia, no laws for drinking under 18..or i guess because i look old enough?? Pam was wearing 2 piece to tan, first time see her in the whole bikini suit..and ya, she tan until so red lor, like jieling, their hands were like lobster..but that time was went i suffered leceration*uneven abrasion* on my foot. I accidentally fell down the rock into the kiddy pool, then it started bleeding profusely. I kept washin it until it stop bleeding..i fell asleep on the chair while the 3 cont their activity. Pam was rly sweet know..she woke me up a short while later to bring me to the poolside bar to seek med atention, i didn't wan la..but she insisted. Felt so lucky to have her as a jie! Night came, we went to Chinese restaurant to eat. And ya we met that 6 ppl again, the food was fantastic, esp the sotong..u know for the first time, i ate until so satifyin on a holiday. Lijia kept suaning me abt the rice cuz i order extra since everyone ate it so quickly, end up we can't finished.. can't stand him but he's funny..gave some stupid joke..Who is the thinest hoolywood celeb? Sean Paul*san po in hokkien* then Pam was like laughing her heads off..so lame lor, that was his own made-up joke. Then we had a hell of a fun time playin mahjong for a hour. Exciting yet, slow at the same time, cuz there were 3 noobs playin. Late night we went to beach bar. Drank another Calsberg..i think i sort of pissed Pam of cuz i guess she didn't rly wan me to drink, but i refuse to listen. 3 drafts in total in my whole trip..i guess i got a little high that night cuz i'm like anyhow dedicate the rock songs from the live band. While Lijia was like asking for all the oldies song..which non of them i knew. Then the singer approach us name Jenny. She's cool, rly enjoyed talkin to her. cuz i told her i wan sweet child o' mine, then she say, u like rocking?? then i asked for blink's all the small thing..out come from her mouth, huh? small thing?? no small thing only big thing over here..Then 4 of us were like laughing our heads off. Then i did this ^5 thing with her, but i kept screwin up. Well it was rly fun, we got back at around 12.30am this morning. I dropped dead and went to sleep.
Day 3 5th May : Woke up at 9.30am, all of us can't wake up esp the girls. today didn't really have much to say, cuz hardly any activity took place. i think after breakfast, we head back to room and watched this movie, i am claus. It was rather interesting, as it captured our mind. Checked out at 12pm, and i dropped dead at the sofas once again at the recept. Goobye Tioman, when the ferry left and back to the boring 5 hrs ride home. everyone was quiet..guess all of us are very tired. To those who nv been to Tioman before, must go!! cuz it is so fun.. ya that's all abt it. Thanks for reading my this super long log..
