should i? should i not? hmmmm

there is nothing like...

i just came back from what seemed like a really short camp, but a really awesome one. it's always great to spend time with the young people and to be refreshed day after day. God's presence was really strong and i really felt it like never before.

i was a musician for all the sessions and just as the title of the post says, there is nothing like leading the youth into worship every session. i couldn't really ask for anything better to do. seeing their response to the worship, i was deeply encouraged. all of the songs had this certain feel to each one, that just gave me a full in-depth meaning of what worship really was. the feeling of going up the stage and getting behind the guitar and being a part of leading the people into worship was just mesmerizing. all in all, there was good food, good lodging, good fellowship, nice environment, and last but certainly not least.....God's awe inspiring presence. what more could you ask for in a camp?

breathtaking

so today i watched new moon again for the 2nd time. i still wanna watch it again. there's just something about it, that makes it a really good movie. hmm will i ever know what it is? haha. so turns out, we didnt miss much that day when we were late. just a bout 1 min heh. it's good to know that i watched the whole movie this time tho =P

anyway after the movie, i was really hungry for some reason. i longed for something sweet (when don't i??) so jb and i went to a few shops and checked out clothes, as always haha. then we headed to..........BR! when all else fails, BR doesnt =D cheesy, i know. was looking for cotton candy, but didnt have. what a bummer. so then looking through the flavors, looking and looking. then i remembered a recommendation from ms lauren tan. hokey pokey! so jb and i decided to taste it first. so we got a tester and....i was blown away. it was really good. main reason: it's majorly sweet. sweet and mark go very very well together ;) and it was diff than any other ice cream. just the taste of it heh. kudos lauren and kim (cause she recommended it to lauren first haha).

a pic of that little piece of heaven hehe =)

I ♥

the title of the post says it all. so many things that i want from there....

new interest

2009-11-30T06:19:00.000-08:00

i caught this movie last week with my awesome friends. at first i thought, after reading the book, "aww man the movie might be screwed up." after exiting the cinema, i realized how wrong i was. i really really loved it. and now after watching the movie and borrowing the twilight dvd with all the extended stuff and what not, it's growing on me. thanks lauren =P i don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing tho hehe. well the movie had some what i call, "poser-scenes". the girls would love them, but frankly i was kinda weirded out haha. shall not spoil it for anyone. i'm definitely not the kinda guy who'll say, "whoa that dude's hot and that vampire's hot or whatever." haha....BUT i think kristen stewart is really attractive. there's something about her =D

and in all honesty, the guys, especially taylor is pretty good looking. i understand why girls drool over him. and he could be an inspiration to all you body-builders out there ;) not bad, in less than a year he developed some packs and pretty well built muscles. and for his age also. another thing that captures my attention is the scenery. forks and the areas it's filmed at is really beautiful. the hillsides, forests, lakes, pretty pretty. all in all, a really good movie la. im gonna watch it again on wednesday cause i missed the first few mins that time haha. and i plan to watch it again next week! alrighty im off. cheerio people.

confused people

2009-10-24T07:16:00.000-07:00

i really have to express this. today, as i was on the way to church, we came across some traffic lights. it was green and it was like a traffic jam. and it wasnt, i repeat WASNT because there was a traffic jam. these people were just taking their own sweet time not caring about what color the light really was. i mean what's the point of giving different meanings to the three different colors if you aren't gonna take note of it's meaning. it's so malaysian-ish. it's green and these people were moving if u can even call it moving, like the light was red. ishh. it's really quite annoying. i hope i will never have to encounter this when i get my license.

worth smiling at

2009-10-13T03:22:00.000-07:00

something women can't do that men can in public =P

little girl saying, "whateverr"

how do you stop laughing??

2009-10-11T00:54:00.000-07:00

hey hey yo guys and gals. this is the hotshot blogging again after what seemed like ages :S i couldn't stop laughing last night seriously. i must be really healthy if laughter is the best medicine. the reason for all the haha's and lol's:

yes ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,these two guys, mr allan perera and mr indi nadarajah. together these two make up the......COMEDY COURT! in a nutshell, it's basically two stand up comedians acting/talking about politics, races, current situations, government and what not. in one word these guys are just hilarious. wouldn't be called comedy court if they arent heh. they kept us at the edge of our seats for 3 hours (8:30-11:30) my favorite scene was the "executive spa". there are some vids of it on youtube, can check it out there. it's farnayyyyy. all in all, it was a really entertaining saturday night. kudos to these guys!

off the wall

2009-09-25T02:31:00.000-07:00

so today i headed to OU with jb, lauren and kimmie. had a good time. was nice catching up again. i really miss the old times. so we had delicious for lunch. i had a spaghetti carbonara.

it was really good. filling and substantial. after that we headed to BR for ice cream. who knew cotton candy ice cream would taste so good =) perfect for all you sweet tooth's out there. we went to many shops, window shopping and what not. there was this time when all of us were just standing in our famous "circle" outside a shop and talked and talked for a nearly good 20 mins. haha odd i know. but it's what we do =P something that really caught my eye....AGAIN was these pair of shoes i saw.

it's by vans. i really want em. looks catchy to me la. one day i guess. so that was pretty much my day....loads of walking, talking, and eating. was a good time of fellowship and chilling. anyway, heading off to prayermeeting soon. cheerio.

reminiscing the laughter

2009-09-07T04:33:00.000-07:00

the craze, back it is

2009-08-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

may the force be with you. how many times does that phrase come out in the whole saga? wish i knew :S i was looking through my dvd's the other day and stumbled upon all the star wars ones. i decided to watch the whole saga again. after finishing the first film, i felt super *here's where the cacat bm comes in* semangat-ed to watch the whole saga =D in my opinion, this is one of the best bunch of films ever made. thanks George Lucas! =)

worth every second

2009-08-13T05:40:00.000-07:00

i just came back from kota damansara. went there for a haircut actually, but ended up doing other stuff too ;) after my haircut my mum wanted to go to ikea. so my dad, bro and i headed to *drum rolls*......*continues to roll*......BENTLEY. aww yeah the haven for most musicians. in the pic u see above, is the guitar im all out for. the fender stratocaster. ohhh....the name can practically make my hair stand. decided to just check it out again, altho i did early this year. tested it out and it doesnt sound any less "powderful" as before. hopefully....soon. to add to the "want" for the guitar....went to rock corner and bought the john mayer: where the light is dvd. and what guitar do u see him using most of the time....fender, fender, and fender. man! but it's a spectacular dvd lar. very well done. aite. i'm done =D cheerio people!

everyone say scones

2009-08-11T00:16:00.000-07:00

pictures speak a thousand words, but right now all these pics are just saying one thing to me. EAT ME, EAT ME, EAT ME =D hehe. i'm craving so badly for scones all of a sudden. i use to eat it loads of times when i was younger without even knowing the name of it. it wasnt long ago that i had another taste of it. was at decanter, and i had it there. in summary, it was really good. the scones were well baked, the jam was fresh and really tasty, butter was soft. all in all...almost perfect. i really wanna go there again...hints to some ppl *winks*. to anyone who hasnt tried it before....i'm no food critic or anything but, do try it! it's out of this world.

guitar geek =D

2009-08-08T06:25:00.000-07:00

i'm currently hooked on this game. GUITAR GEEK! and of all places...it's on facebook. it's not as nice as guitar hero of course, but nevertheless it's a sweet game. the songs are kinda catchy too =) when ur bored and u have nothing to do....u found ur solution ;)

rise of a good movie....i hope

2009-08-04T06:58:00.000-07:00

G.I. Joe. the name of the movie itself can bring chills to some people. i didnt even know that there was gonna be such a movie till i saw the trailer. i was impressed. looked good. movie lines were cheesy...but in a way..sweet! then for those of you who wacthed the trailer....the two "ironhides" at the last part. seemed impressive. BUT, looks can be deceiving. i'm watching it on thursday. so here's to hoping for a power-packed movie....and an exit of the cinema saying..."im watching it again" =)

trust His heart

2009-07-08T07:25:00.000-07:00

the title of this post means a lot to me. there are many times when we feel that what we're praying for or hoping for seems so bleak, but that's where we're wrong. God always sees our needs and when you feel that He's not there, trust me friends, God is always there for you. His love and compassion is always there for us. though our prayers might not be answered the minute we say them, God always has a plan.

im very grateful to Him for giving me the strength to continue to rely on Him for all my trials and my challenges. He's always been there for me. im also very grateful to many of the Christian artists and bands out there who have written many encouraging and powerful songs. one of them that really gets me is, "trust His heart". it's a really powerful song that speaks of how God is always there in our trials and problems even though we don't understand or see any good coming out of it. God is constantly there helping us though we may not see it sometimes. so, when you don't understand, when you can't see His plan, when you can't trace His hand, TRUST HIS HEART.

RIP.

first, but definetely not the last

2009-06-06T07:55:00.000-07:00

last monday my family and i headed to lumut for our church's family camp. it was our first. we were pretty excited about it. by the title of the post, you know that it definetely wasnt a letdown. it was awesomee! had sooo much fun, i wish it didnt end, but all good things come to an end =( so we left at 10 in the morning from home. stopped by setiawan for lunch. met alotta calvarites there haha. met a couple of familiar cars on the road too ;) so we reached the resort (swiss garden damai laut resort). it was really nice. the whole resort in one word is, HUGE man. seriously. the resort itself was really nice. very well furnished and nice ppl.

so we had all the sessions and all. i played for the kids for the first night. since their camp was called lava lava island, they decorated the whole kids place with branches, leaves and even a lighted "volcano" haha. job well done to the ppl who decorated it. their first session was a lil quiet, but hey it's always like that. so the worship package was fun. loadsa fun songs =) i heard they got more pumped up as the days went by =) soo the adult sessions were really really good. was really blessed by pastor dikran. he's an awesome speaker really. his jokes are just classic i tell u. gotta hear it to feel it ;) the food was ok i guess. not great and not terrible. the bad thing was, the place was full with flies. so so annoying man. cant even eat in peace. even when i was playing for worship there were flies comin around disturbing me :S

anywayy there were also many other activities like games, the diff workshops, the trip to pangkor, the football game (with the pastors which didnt happen sadly). loadsa stuff to do. the games were interesting. there was this game called laying eggs i think. my goodness, was super embarrassing, but it was all good fun. then we played water polo and all during our free time which was just sooo good. chew, ivan, and i even woke up at 6 to go for a morning swim. we stunned, the pool was closed but the sign didnt stop us =P we just swam. soo nice man to go for a nice morning swim and see the sun rise =) then there was the beach. my gosh, each time i see one, i just fall in love with it. sooo cool. it's so beautiful. love it to bits. there were a countless amount of times that i would just start laughing uncontrollably thanks to ivan. he was one of the main reasons. giving me blessings to my nose :S crazyy fella.

so the days passed, and i was supposed to go back one day earlier cause my bro had exams, but thankfully my parents let me stay on and they went back. so i bunked in gab's room. on the last night, we had an awesome time. we played mafia on monday night and had loadsa fun. annabelle was the mafia for three rounds, and i voted her the mafia, but no one believed me! sad case man really. she killed me two rounds straight summore. gg. anywayy......we played taboo instead on wed night. we went to the recreational area first, but then they closed at 11, so we went to the poolside. dunno why, but i just wasnt on form that day. i usually do better, instead i only got like 4 or 5 words per round. so we played and laughed and played and finally we all went "back" to our rooms. but we just went back to chill and went out again hehe. gab and i went to ivan's room to grab some food and then we headed to chew and ken's room. it was an interesting time there. ivan "blessed" us a couple of times again. haha. we watched tv, fooled around, ate, and talked. so we went back to our rooms at like 2 sumthin. the next morning i was like falling asleep. so after the morning session we packed up everything, including the instruments, amps, cables, etc and headed back.

i went back with chew, darren and ken. had lunch in this seafood restaurant. i finally got a taste of crab. never in my life wud i even take in crabs. now, i'm HOOKED. it was awesome. soo tasty. then had cendol after that before heading back to kl. we sent darren and ken back, then i reached home at about 7 30. all in all, it was a really memorable camp. i said it before and i'll say it again, it was my first, but definetely not the last. cheerio!

never alone

2009-05-31T00:31:00.000-07:00

this is a song that really touches me time and time and again everytime i listen to it. thought i'd share it with u guys =) it's called O'Child by Nevertheless. it speaks of how God desires so much to draw near to us and to be our friend if we only let Him. the song is really centered on God's love for us. hope ya'll like it.

I want to come closer, but you are so distant. Lately your thoughts are so far. I want to show you all that you're missing, and i'll meet you right where you are.

O' Love, I've always known you, and, O' Love, you've always been mine. O' Love, I'm only asking you for your life.

Say that you need me. I know what you're feeling. and You cannot do this alone. I gave you my Word, and I gave you my life so you'll never be on your own.

O' Love, I've always known you, and, O' Love, you've always been mine. O' Love, I'm only asking you for your life

You're waiting for this life to be what you wanted (Is this what you wanted?) You're waiting for this life to be what you needed. (Is this what you needed?) You're waiting for this life.

O' Love, I've always known you, and, O' Love, you've always been mine.

she's made one of the best contributions to music, she's an awesome pianist, and she brings about that sentimental value in songs that are rarely found. she's SARA BAREILLES. she's currently filling my ears with all her soul and pop songs. on the way back from football training, in se ken's car, he had her cd playing. i was reminded how much i used to like her before. my all time favorite is "love song". such a singable song =D check her out ppl! she's really goooood.

we saw her to her car, then jb and i decided to have a drink at devi's corner. so we walked to devi's corner. was quite a long walk. but it was all good, cause we burned calories. so i had a sirap bandung and jb had a teh o limau ice. had a gd talkin time. so then my parents came at 11. we sent jb to prisca's house then headed back home. came back, washed up and here i sit in front of my fav "box" bloggin =P im really quite tired actually. gonna head to bed soon. again im stressing how thankful i am that tomrw is a holiday =D was supposed to watch wolverine tomrw, but gg my bro said all the tickets were sold out :S so gotta wait la. so tomrw goin out with my family to ikano and the curve. im gonna cut my hair and just do a lil shopping i guess. overall, today was a really gd day for me. really thankful for wondeful friends. a quote i remembered that will always stay in my heart- "good friends are like stars, you don't always see them but they are always there".

2009-04-28T04:23:00.000-07:00

i literally feel like my blog's been reborn. havent blogged in quite a while. i've been really lazy to blog and everytime i say im gonna blog , i end up procrastinating it. so here i am finally bloggin again. today was a usual day in skool. woke up at like 7 30. got ready and stopped at shell to get my supply of sweets =) had devotion in the morning. ms yen li decided to lay off the fourth commandment and share about something else. was a nice time. she played "voice of truth" by casting crowns. that song is a really powerful, gripping and moving song. i really like it.

so after devotion, we went back down to class and started work. i planned to do my hng lifepac today, but.....go figure. haha. so i managed to finish my goals in skool today. NO HOMEWORK, just a lil studyin to do =) today alex and i had a short "debate" on how to pronounce interrogative. he insists that it's pronounced this way and that way and i thought otherwise. so i just decided to listen to him to stop him from opening his mouth. moving on, some of the students had badminton practice today, so they left at 1 to go have lunch first. then when it came 1 30, we went down. i sat with lish and the other girls. kim, haze and alex went for badminton so it was a lil different. lunch was ok i guess. had yee mee and fried chicken. the chicken was really good tho. i found out during lunch that praise laughs at almost anything i do :S even when i ask her a simple question. other than that, was all gd. tho the laughing was lil, still had good fellowship =)

so we went back to class. ms yen li had to run up to the office so she asked me to watch the class. i had authority written all over me ;) it didnt last very long tho. she came down in like 3 mins. so after that did work until it was time to go back. went up to the library. was talkin to lish for a while till my mum came. so i went home and read, studied and all. then after that was jamming "god of this city" and my mum sang haha. nice nice. was feelin hungry after that, so i went down to have a snack. had these cinnamon rolls and a cold milo. that wud keep me full till dinner which will be quite soon =) so tomrw im gonna have a really long day. have to be in the field by 7 30 for football training first. then gotta practice marching. i really really can't stand it man. such a waste of time cause on the day itself, we're just gonna be walking. well that's all for now. a random pic i just found really spectacular:

DAY 1...

today was the day i headed to penang. i had a pretty late night on sunday and i was supposed to wake up at 6 15 on monday :S so i woke up and we left by 7 45. we traveled and traveled and excreted and traveled =P we stopped by taiping for breakfast. had this awesome chicken mee. it was supposed to be the best in town, so yea i think it was =) after that we headed for penang. took the ferry over and we were there by 1 something. i was already feeling hungry, so we had lunch in georgetown. we went to this shop that supposedly sells the best char koay teow. without a shadow of a doubt, it was truly AWESOME =) after lunch we had this chendol that was also really good and really sweet. when something's sweet, you know i like it ;) so we went to gurney drive after that and bought this dessert called "muar chee". it's like this thing haha that's mixed and all with peanuts. everytime we go there i have to eat it. i just love it haha. then after that headed to our hotel, the gurney hotel. my dad got us the apartment suite, so the room was pretty big and nice. the bathroom was.....my gosh........sweet. it had a jacuzzi in it =P so nice man. then we just chilled in the room. my parents decided to take a nap, so my bro and i went down to the pool. tried playin table tennis but was too windy, so we just swam. the pool was also really nice. perfect to do laps =) BUT, on that day the water was freezing cold man. must be the weather cause it looked like it was gonna rain. so yeaa, practically freezing in there, but still i enjoyed myself. while we were there, i wanted to go to the gym, but there were rules that said u need proper attire :S and i was wearing flip flops, but they only allowed shoes. soo couldn't use it that day. after that headed back to the room and warmed up in the jacuzzi. the heat was hmmm relaxing haha. took a nice shower after that and went for dinner. we went to this chinese restaurant off batu ferringhi that had awesome western food. sooo, i had chicken chop and it was delicious. then after that we went shopping for about an hour maybe then we headed back to the hotel. was already bout 12 sumthin then, so i decided to call it a night. end of day 1 =)

DAY 2...

the second day began, by me waking up at 9 15. we were gonna have breakfast at the hotel so we went down. my parents only had two sorta "coupons" for breakfast. so my father paid for me and my bro. the food was abundant in variety man. had malay food, to american, to japanese, to chinese. i had cereal, pancakes and french toast. was all pretty good (i expected the french toast to be sweeter =P) so went up and washed up after that and went for a morning swim. played table tennis first with my bro and my dad. i nailed my bro, but couldn't beat my dad. one day dad, one day =P so we swam after that. did loadsa laps. was exhausted like crazy. then after that i took my dad's cross trainers and headed to the gym hehe. did some weights and used stuff that i didn't even know the name of, but had a good work out on all my muscles =) my body was aching after that :S so i had a nice cold shower and chillaxed =) went for lunch after that in town again. we had nasi kandar. was famished, so everything tasted nice hehe. my parents and my bro wanted that chendol again, so we went back there. at first i didn't wanna eat it, but then i gave in to temptation =( but that's what a holiday is all about man, eating ;) moving on, we went back to gurney drive and had "muar chee" again. we went back to the hotel and we all rested. was falling asleep, prolly from all that food. was supposed to go down and swim again, but my bro couldn't wake up :S so i took a short nap myself after all of them woke up. woke up after like 45 mins and found out that my parents went walking by the beachside. so nice man, wish i went. so i chilled in the jacuzzi again before showering =) so when they came back, they showered and all and we went for dinner to the northern beach food court. had sooo many stalls, so i didnt know what to eat so i decided to have ITALIANO. had spaghetti bolognese. wasnt bad. my parents order loh bak. was good too. then we went for ice cream after that at mcd. my parents spotted this mcd while they were walking and it was super nice. very well designed. the wierd thing is, when we went there, they had no more ice cream. i mean wat mcd's runs out of ice cream. plain weird. so we went to this other mcd just down the road. had our ice cream and went back to the hotel. was another late night, so i crashed out. my bro and my mum woke up at 3 to watch the liverpool game. i salute them man. that interrupted a bit of my sleep, but was too lazy to get up and watch, so i went back to sleep. that was day 2 =)

DAY 3...

ia woke up at about 9 30 today. went down with my bro and had breakfast. my parents sacrificed their "coupons" for us and went out to have breakfast. thanks mom and dad! =) so had about the same thing as yesterday morning (if you forgot what it was feel free to scroll up =D). so went up and showered and started packing :S took me very fast, but still so mah fan. used my bro's mac for a while until my parents and all packed. we left the hotel at 12 something. went to this other food court that we go to every time. was pretty packed, but found a nice place to sit =) i had two servings of chicken rice. crazyyy man. never knew i could eat like that :S and had some loh bak again. the loh bak here was better =) after that we headed back to kl. went by the bridge on the way back. i slept for about an hour in the car hehe. so we drove and drove and stopped to empty our tanks if u know what i mean ;) heehee. while we were walking in the rest area, i saw a baskin robbins. decided to have some ice cream. had banana and strawberry =D was really good. so we continued our journey. altogether our journey took about 3 hours. so came home and unpacked. had a nice shower in my bathroom. i missed it man! it's true when ppl say there's no place like home =) so overall i really really enjoyed my holiday. tomrw's back to skool and i need to catch up with my work. i came up with the same conclusion i did everytime i went to penang: penang is food haven =D haha well that's all for now...

cheerio =)

2009-04-10T22:57:00.000-07:00

overall the whole musical was very good. one of the best in my opinion. all the performances deserved a standing ovation. from the acting, to the singing, to the lighting, to the design, all were really good. was nice having the presentation in the stadium again. so after the presentation went around talkin to ppl again then headed for dinner. had dinner with my aunts and uncles and cousins. had loadsa food. david ordered so many stuff from chicken wings, to taiwan sausages, to japanese omelettes, to fried bananas with honey, to oysters. crazyyy man. haha but was all good =) by the time we reached home was like 1. was so tired. so i decided to call it a night and SLEEEP =D

TODAY...

i chilled at home. followed my parents to bangsar village to go shopping. sadly, i won't be going for the musical tonight cause i have bday party tonight. so after shopping, came back and just relaxed at home. really need the rest man. so that's my eventful saturday =D and i don't think i'll be bloggin anytime soon. will be off to penang on mon and comin back on wed. it's a "self-declared" holiday cause there's actually SKOOL =D well that's all for now. BLESSED EASTER! =)

cheerio =)

my definition of worship =)

2009-04-06T04:12:00.000-07:00

this is something totally random i just thought of doing. one of the best things you could ever do is to WORSHIP =) worship to me is very important because it's a time when i give everything to God, with everything i have.

my definition of worship would be: a time when you just block out everything else and glorifiy God. worship should be a lifestyle. when you're feeling down and depressed, hard as it may seem, just worship. it doesnt have to be singing. worship comes in many ways. worship shouldn't be about the music or the singer's voice when you're in church or youth or whatever. though music and all makes worship more exuberant or lively, it shouldn't matter.

always remember that worship is sorta like an offering you give to God. never think just because you can't sing well or play a musical instrument well, it means u can't worship. God doesnt look at your skill, he looks at your HEART =)

so in conclusion: worship should just be about three letters: GOD =)

fooled

2009-04-01T02:51:00.000-07:00

today as you all know is.....april fool's. first off wanna say blessed birthday to JB. really grateful to have you as a friend =) God bless and continue being that awesome friend you are =) so anyway i woke up today saying to myself that im not gonna get tricked by anyone, instead ill trick others =P so went for PE. was supposed to play chempaka pj, but in the end the football team didnt show, but the netball team did. so potongg man, was really looking forward to the match.

so instead we had training with se ken. did a couple of training exercises then played a game. my team lost 3-0 =( but it's all cool cause we learned what we were doing wrong and we can just make it right the next time. i felt like we were playing in an oven man. seriously was really hot. so we went back to skool and began our studying. i decided to try and prank kimmie first =) tried earlier in the field, but she had netball. so saved it for skool. i TRIED, but failed =( she saw it coming. gg. last year was awesome cause i remember i got all of em. so after my failed attempt, i decided to prank mr george :D and I SUCCEEDED. i told him something like i was leaving skool n all and he was like jokin around after that, saying that he was gonna come to tears n all haha.

oh oh! alex and i pranked jb in the bus on the way back from the field. we called him and he totally fell for it. hehe. so we had lunch and went for our discipleship class again today. was good =) then after that we went to get our bags from our class and saw jb there. so we talked for a while. then i went to get my bag and came back down to talk to the rest. and at that moment was the time that i was fooled. BY LISHA!!! arghhhh. i tried tricking her during lunch, but also tak jadi. so gg-fied man this year's april fools. and she got me. and i actually fell for it. but must say it wasn't bad =) good one lish.

a mile away

2009-03-28T08:14:00.000-07:00

today was overall a tiring and an awesome day. we performed for eugene's IR night at segi college. so this is how it all went down =) woke up at 9 30 cause we were suppose to have our soundcheck at 10, but i woke up late. gg. so then my bro and i finally arrived there at 10 45. eugene and gab were all ready there so we just met up with them and set up and all. eugene was mainly busy setting up his drum set, so we just helped him and all. so we waited for about an hour before we finally had our soundcheck. it went ok i guess. till then we weren't confirmed on what songs we were doing, so yea go figure (gg!).

after much discussion and thought we decided to do boyce avenue's "change your mind" and boys like girls' "thunder". emo songlist =P after our soundcheck i was famished along with the rest of the band. meanwhile, we werent satisfied with the amps. didnt really give us the kinda sound we wanted. so we decided to borrow an amp. we called up kel vin and asked him whether we could borrow his amp. he kindly lent us his amp. thanks man! so our tummies were still rumbling haha, so three of us went for lunch (eugene decided to stay back at segi). we went to pick up the amp frm kel's house first then went back to my place for lunch. we ate and showered and all. after that eugene gave us a call and asked to buy two bottles of coke before we came back to the college. so we did and headed to the college for our final run through before the actual thing. the nervousness was already beginning to kick in haha.

we had solid run through in my opinion. we added switchfoot's "meant to live" as an encore performance, but sadly we couldn't perform it in the end cause there wasnt enough time =( that wud have been an awesome encore. sigh. another time :D so we just hanged around the college while waiting for the event to start. walked around the college, sat around, jammed a while backstage, went to the cafeteria and had drinks. decided to listen to the girls' theory on kickapoo getting you hyped up. it worked seriously. after that i was pumped up like crazy =) the thing was supposed to start at 6, but was like delayed for 2 hours! :S so we were sitting at our table (it was also a dinner) and just waited. we were supposed to go backstage during the first performance by the drama team. so we did. we got backstage and just basically prepared ourselves. we were all really nervous.

when the time came, we just got out there and gave it our best. for me personally it was a good performance. was really appreciative to hear a lotta good comments from other ppl. gave us encouragement =) we were the first band to perform (that really added to the nervousness =P) so we could enjoy the rest of the night after that. there were many other great performances too. there was this one performance where this couple sang duets. some of the songs were: "lucky", "wait for you", "love story", and "love song". they were really good. both had awesome voices. then we had dinner. food was also good. had alotta stuff. mee hoon, fried rice, spring rolls, chicken curry, veggie....yea awesome stuff =)

then the other bands came up and performed. they weren't bad either. pretty good. the ppl went crazy during the last band's performance cause they were like this metal band. so overall that was our day =) we came, we got nervous, we rocked hard! :) definetely was a night to remember =) a big thank u to eugene for making this possible and giving "a mile away" their first gig haha. cheers. well i'm really exhausted now, gonna sleep

cheerio =)

i started off my day well today =) had awesome pancakes for breakfast. i believe a good breakfast is a good start. so did the usual and reached the field at 8 45. we were gonna have a football match with chempaka usj today. just an extra fact: they were the team we lost to in the final at last year's sports day! so wasted.

anyway we were afraid the match would tak jadi cause none of us brought a ball :S gg or what! even the chempaka ppl. then ms suh shian made a call and managed to borrow a ball from dbkl. thank God. anyway so we started the match. was really hot. the sun was shining directly at all of us, so therefore it was very tiring. we didn't do so well in the match. still, we will persevere and continue to do our best =) even tho the outcome of the match wasnt so good, i learned something from it. have a positive mind and you will see positive results from the game. if you have a negative mind, then for sure you will lose, cause you already have that mindset. so therefore be positive! :D

so after our match, i was knocked out. plus, i got a cut on my leg. was really hurting me during the day, but it's cool now. i was like dehydrated after the match, but then a few of us received 100 plus from ms suh shian. thank you so much =) so we boarded the bus and headed back to skool. changed and everything and started studies. today we had a shorter time of studying cause we had a discipleship class at 2. so studied and studied till lunch. lunch wasnt that bad la. after lunch we went for our discipleship class. it was really good. we were taught by ms. sheila (i hope i spelled her name correctly =P) learned a lotta stuff and it's only the first lesson haha.

so gg-fied, we were told that it was gonna end at 3 and ms. sheila was told that she was supposed to be done at 3 30. so we were wondering why we were still at the class at 3 15. then alex told ms. sheila and we were dismissed. i found that really funny for some reason i dunno why haha. anywayyy i stayed back till bout 4 20 today. lauren came to skool to do some work so lish, lauren, alex, jian han, and i were just talkin and laughing and talkin again and laughing and the cycle went on and on =P then all of a sudden jb came haha. was a surprise to see him cause none of us expected it. so we all chit chatted for a while. then my mum came and i ciao-ed.

came home and read for a while. then i had a nice sweet snack! ;) dunno exactly what it's called. it has a chinese name. so i just wont say wat it's called to save myself from embarassment =) basically it was these cooked flour balls in sweet water. doesnt sound good, but gotta say it's AWESOME! haha. really if you've got a taste for sweet things like me, u gotta at least try it once in your lifetime :) after that i just did some hw. man oh man! bible is killing me. so hard :S but it's all good cause at least it's God's word =) that was basically my day. oh ya a random statement: i am really craving for shandy! whoever's kind enuf to buy some for me, feel free to =P nahhh im jokin haha. ok then.

cheerio =)

we stand strong =)

2009-03-23T06:24:00.000-07:00

first it was real madrid, then MU, now aston villa. all solid victories! i was sooo happy with their victory last night. 5-0!! truly we're at our prime now. hope this will last tho. we've still got big games comin up like chelsea in the champions league, but i'm sure we'll do fine =) anywayyy i was just really happy the whole day cause of this victory hehe. it just feels good =D

anyway back to my day. today was the first day back to school after my short but satisfying one week break =) back to waking up early. sigh =( so i woke up at 7 30 and had breakfast n all and left the house at 8. sent my bro to college first then arrived at skool at about 8 40. had assembly as normal. ms kat gave us a "short" devotion. after that we went back to class and the studying began :S i wasn't used to it at all. even my writing was a lil off cause i barely wrote anything durin the hols, just typed =P BUT at least i accomplished quite a bit today :) did my bible lifepac. thank God i passed! gonna start grade 11 now. finally haha. so i was studying and studying and time was like passing so slowly :S then finally my favorite part of the day came. LUNCH!!

lunch today was surprisingly awesome! had beef/chicken rendang with rice and for dessert, jelly =) wasnt bad at all seriously. after stuffing myself (i was seriously filled to the brim) we went back to class for MORE studying. studying for my hng lifepac is really killing me. it's just so much to study (i'm sure kimmie agrees :P). well i MIGHT do it tomrw, but knowing my "might" i'll most prolly back out of it tomrw haha. i am known for procrastination when it comes to this kinda thing =P so yeaa after skool i stayed back for a while. talked to lish and alex till my mum came.

when i went back i decided to join my bro and watch a movie. we watched terminator 3. after that i started "breaking dawn" haha. not bad so far, but can't really tell cause it's only 20 pages =P then i decided i need to get my studying goin. so with much effort, i took out my hng book from my bag and started studyin!! *claps* hehehe. studied for about an hour. covered two sections. then after that i decided to do some extra work for LA and science. i can't believe i actually got myself to do so much work haha. then after much studyin i took an awesome cold shower. really refreshing thing to do during this kinda weather. then i went on the com for a while before dinner. breaked for a while and had dinner. i had rice with fish, vege, and fried egg. simple but really good! then i saw my bro drinking shandy with alotta ice! what a sight for sore eyes =) i curi curi and took a sip. well a few sips haha. so so nice. i am currently craving for shandy haha. after that i couldn't tahan so i made myself a cold drink. found this blackcurrant drink on the shelf. was called sun-up if i'm not mistaken. knowing me and my taste for sweet things, i made it really really sweet. (makes my journey to diabetes a lot quicker :P) but it was also......*speechless* so so refreshing.

after dinner i went back to my com and here i am bloggin =) i'm really looking forward to next sat. my band's first gig. hope it goes well =) well that's all for now.

cheerio =)

never a day wasted

2009-03-21T05:28:00.001-07:00

i believe that a day can never be wasted. there's always time for you to do something useful, beneficial, or something great. if ur day is goin really bad, you can always have that mindset that you go through bad things to learn to turn it into something good. there's never a situation where you should feel so discouraged or upset that you just wanna give up. when the whole world is looking down on you, just lift up your eyes and press on. you will see the light at the end of tunnel soon enough. also make the best of what you can with ur friends. they are special people here to brighten up your day and never to be taken granted of. so in conclusion haha, never waste a day =)

anywayyy haha back to my day. today was a gd day overall =) woke up at 10 cause i needed to be at church at 12 for worship practice. had waffles for breakfast :D and without a shadow of a doubt i can say that it was awesome (picture that syrup on those lovely crunchy waffles :P) haha. soooo movin on, i got ready and showered. arrived at church at 12 sharp (punctuality is IMPORTANT :D). gab was all ready there sooo we just set up and waited for the rest to come. practice went well i'd say. furthermore, (haha why do i sound so formal??) youth started at 3 as usual and today's worship was really powerful. i was blessed even though i was playin =) youth service overall was good. our group discussion was an eye opener in some ways.

anyway, after youth i just hung out with jb. was feeling hungry and thirsty :P wanted to go to shell but forgot to bring my wallet :S gg! then suddenly gab also said he was hungry and wanted to go to shell. he asked eugene and me whether we wanted to follow. i told him i had no money, then he said "i'll belanja la" haha. thanks gab =) like an angel sent frm God haha. so i bought or rather gab bought for me loacker wafers and kickapoo. i can see why they call it joy juice =) so after that i just chilled out at church till about 7 30. sent jb to rsc before going home. oh oh today i sorta experienced my first accident. after sending jb to rsc, cause of the sunburst concert (which i wish i was at) the area around rsc was really packed with cars. so we were in a bit of a jam. then suddenly my mom and i felt this hard bump on the back of the car and there was a dent :S this guy knocked our car! nothin that that serious la, but he was a nice guy and offered to help out with the damages.

anyway after that, we reached home. took a nice cold bath cause it's soo soo hot nowadays. gonna have spaghetti for dinner later mmhhhhmmm :D now i'm just bloggin as u can clearly see haha. well that's all for now.

cheerio =)

i like and listen to a lotta kinds of music, but there's this one artist that really brings me satisfaction. he's an awesome guitarist (he uses my dream guitar :P), he's a really good singer, he's got feel, he's got rhythm, and he's got soul (look at the pic and you'll see what i mean =P). when i run out of music to listen to i know i can always say "have no fear, JOHN MAYER is here!" he's one of the reasons i took up the guitar. basically, he's one of my inspirations in music =) all his songs has this certain feel and tone that would get any guitarists' attention. if there were anyone i could meet, currently it would be him :) if ur free anytime check out his music, im sure u wont regret it ;)

a day with the crew =)

2009-03-19T07:10:00.000-07:00

today was a really long day, but a good one =) we all went to mv today and chilled. so so i started the day by waking up at 10 hehe, getting earlier and earlier :P so got up, had breakfast, showered and went to pick up lish at 11. sorry i was a lil late lish haha. so picked her up from skool and headed to mv. jb was already waiting for us. sorry for keeping u waiting man. so by the time the three of us met up it was bout close to 12. we met at mph and stood in a circle and talked haha. were tryin to decide what to do. to start the ball rolling, i decided to go get something, so jb and lish followed me.

after i was done we were standing again and deciding what to do. we were just talking and in the end jb and lish started telling ghost stories. honestly, they were quite freaky haha. if i can't sleep tonight it's cause of u guys!!! then we started talking bout dogs, so we went to pets wonderland and checked out the diff animals. so potong.....there were like only four dogs. anyway, we saw this really disgusting and big millipede. it was eating a cucumber. ergghhh was reallyy gross. atfer that we decided on where to have lunch

we ended up going to bk for lunch. after we finished eating haze joined us, so we just chilled and chit chatted will waiting for lauren and kim. at about 2 20 lau and kim joined us in bk. so we wanted to go get movie tickets. we were standing outside the cinema deciding what movie to watch. lauren wanted a movie with action, butttttt most of em were 18 (i still think we all can pass out as 18 :P). after much "discussion" haha we decided to watch marley and me =) while waiting for our movie which was at 4 3o, we went to nike. so many things i wanted, but not gonna happen with all the empty space in my wallet =P sigh broke, broke , broke. anyway so we chilled there till our movie started.

so we watched our movie. i must say it's a really really good movie. so sad, but i won't spoil it for those who havent watched it yet :) i learned something from it though =D i learnt that you don't have to be rich, poor, own a big house or anything for a dog to love you. give it your heart and it will give you theirs in return =) really touching movie. so so after that haze left, so it was left with the five of us. soon after that kim and lauren left too. so it was down to three of us again. so the trio went to have dinner at......PADDINGTONS :D awesome food man seriously, but filling :S i had a treasure box to myself. whoah oh oh was.....was......delicious! so we were talking and talking over dinner till lish had to go back. then jb also left with bhud and prisca. after both of them left i was ALONE. awww pity party :( so i chilled at mph and checkout cd's while waiting for my dad. he came at 9 15 and i went home. mum wanted to give me something to eat......i considered, but my stomach was like filled to the core, so i passed :D so i showered and im now on9 haha! well that was my day, really worn out now! haha. hope to do this again soon ;) that's all for now.
