Back!!!

I haven't been in the flow of blogging, cuz I was REALLY busy. Haha. Anyway, there are really 2 mind-blowing events that are happening for me. Firstly, is the EMERGE Conference from 31st May to 3rd June!! This conference is gonna be a LIFE-CHANGING one. After that, you'll never be the same person again. Haha. Secondly, is the FIRST EVER in ASIA, which is none other than the SINGAPORE DRUMFEST!! from 9th June to 10th June. World renowned drummers like Benny Greb, Gordon Campbell, Tony Royster Jr, Nate Morton, Greg Bissonette, Jojo Mayer, Derek Roddy, Steve Thornton, Grant Collins and 2 very renowned local drummers like Jimmy Lee and Mohamed Noor will be coming down to perform and inspire drummers. I can't wait for these 2 events man! Haha.


Moving out and stepping up.

Live in in fear and you'll never see the FAITH.

Live in failure and you'll never see the SUCCESS.

Live in the past and you'll never see the FUTURE.

Daydreaming is not VISUALISING.

Feeling pumped up and not doing anything = NOTHING!.

Engaging is a contest of INFLUENCE.

The POWER to DEFINE is the POWER to VALIDATE.

Life or death, blessings or curses, you choose.

Summing up.

Well, i haven't been blogging the past few days cuz I was either tired or busy.

Erm shall sum up frm thursday onwards. I can't remember how tht day goes, except that cgm was mind-blowing.

Then its friday, I came to sch realising tht there's no c maths tutorial(faints). I went for ccn day after eating. My class was selling bubble tea and cheese hotdogs. I thought we earn quite a lot. It was a fun and tiring day.

After friday, its saturday of course! Haha. I went for my first gig with Strikeforce at Raffles City Shopping Centre. My cg came and supported me(so touched)! Before performing, I was having adrenalin rush, heart was pulpating like mad and when I went on stage I just let everything out! Haha but overall its gd, learnt quite a lot. Then went for service, its jus fantastic, I really can't describe it, but its really amazing, felt the move and power. Yup, went back and watch the FA Cup. Sadly, Manchester United lost by 1-0. Even as a Man U fan, I felt that the match was boring. I fell asleep during the 55th min while watching(guess I was tired), but I woke up during the 70 min to catch the entire match. Then it went to extra time, my heart broke when drogba scored. I switched off the tv after the game, can't be bothered to watch the trophy presentation. Then went to sleep after that.

So sunday came and I went for service although I was tired, haha. It was awesome, connvicting, full of substance! The 2 new songs were excellent! Had a great time for the whole the weekend.

I can't wait for emerge 2007, its gonna start in 2wks time!

Talents

Woohoo! i'm back, lol. I didnt blog the past few days cuz i was quite busy with school work. ya.

Anyway, yesterday was a great but tiring day for me. Haha cuz i was helping out at the Drum Challenge Semi-Finals @ Plaza Singapura. I gotta fix, dismantle and collaspe lots of drumset and carry lots of heavy equipment. Ya, but it was an eye opener for me cuz i witnessed pure drumming talent frm this litle red dot on the map, which is Singapore. Its mind blowing to see so many talented drummers and even kids below the age of 10 playing so well! I'm really inspired by all these drummers, so i'm gonna improve myself further in drumming. Haha. Btw, yesterday performance frm chow jie(drummer) and stuart(bassist) was really execellent! They impressed the judges, and drew lots of applauses and cheers frm the crowd. Although, chow jie didnt make it to the finals, he really impressed everybody there. Haha. Anyway, after the whole drum challenge, we unpack everything within an hour or so, i'm not sure either. Lol. Ya it was tiring, but a meaningful and inspiring day for me yesterday!

Hmm i jus gotta sign off here, cuz i wanna watch the last game of the season, Man U VS West Ham which includes the EPL trophy presentation! haha. Yup, cheers!

After effects.

I'm still feeling the after effects of Man U winning the EPL, i just cant shake it off. Haha.

Anyway, had a really long day in school from 9am-6pm. So i'm really feeling tired and i wanna SLEEP! Had some fun in sch playing Command and Conquer 3 on my lappy. Although, i encountered some laggyness while playing, the game was real cool. Ya basically thats about it.

If you want to stay young.

- Throw out essiential numbers like age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them.

- Keep only cheerful friends. Grouches pull you down.

- Keep learning. Never let the brain become idle. An idle mind is the devil's workshop, and the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

- Enjoy doing simple things.

- Laugh often, long and loud, until you grasp for breath.

- Let the tears flow. Endure, grieve and move on.

- Surround yourself with what you love. Your home is your refuge.

- If your health is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If its beyond what you can improve, get help.

- Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall but not where the guilt is.

-Lastly, tell the people you love that you love them, at every chance.

I have a bad day.

Firstly, my beloved Manchester United lost to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions league semi-final 2nd leg by 3-0, which makes the total aggregate score 5-3. They were not their usual self this morning, they were outplayed by Milan for the entire game. But i won't blame them, because Man U had so many injuries. After watching the game, i went to sleep for apporx 1 1/2 hours then i head to sch.

Secondly, I was feeling a lil bit of giddyness after i woke up, but i didnt took notice of it, and went to sch. It was upon reaching sch, then i felt a slight fever, wanted to pon the last lab session of the day which is, programming. But i dunno why i didnt, cuz at that time, i was out of sorts already, i was not even paying attention to everything. So after the last lesson, i took a cab home, really cant be bothered to take a bus back.

Lastly, i missed the second movie outing with my cg to watch spidey 3(shucks, not again). I keep apologising to patrick cuz he bought my tix alrdy, but i didnt expect to be sick today. Actually i wanted to go with them, but i really can't take it man, was feeling very giddy and had to go home and rest.

*sigh, that just sums up my bad day.

Always All Ways

Always All Ways (Apologies, Glances And Messed Up Chances)

I guess I'm trying to say I'm sorry,
But it always comes out wrong,
I think a part of you still loves me,
Even though we're moving on.

Always, all ways I wanted us to be,
Always, all ways you and me,
And I wait here on my own,
And I wait for you to see,
All the time I spend alone now won't comfort me,

Always all ways...

And I'm sorry for what happened,
But I want you there to see,
That I'm changing all my actions,
I don't wanna set you free.

Always, all ways I want to see you through
Always, all ways me and you
And I wait here on my own,
And I wait for you to see,
All the time I spend alone now won't comfort me.

'Cause I'm waiting for you,
Yeah, I'm waiting for you,
Give me answers, get me through,
I will wait...

Always, all ways I wanted us to be,
Always, all ways you and me,
And I wait here on my own,
And I wait for you to see,
All the time I spend alone now won't comfort me.

'Cause I'm waiting for you,
And I'll wait here for you,
Give me answers, give me through,
I will wait...

'Cause I'm waiting for you,
Yeah I'm waiting for you,
Give me answers, get me through,
I will wait...

Always, all ways

An illusion.

In Life,

There's always an illusion that can't be seen,
something that has blend into life so well,
that we think everything is alright.

However,

will it shock us if we find out the truth?
will we remain strong and change?
It waits to be seen.

The illusion is the veil
thats preventing us from
seeing what's behind it.
We never really know
until we change our mindset and,
until we choose to step out
to see what is behind this veil of illusion.

Because,

time will tell in the future,
whether are we pioneers of it.
And if the illusion is covering us up,
then we'll never move on.

We really need to look
at ourselves and find out
what are we really missing at.
Because you wouldn't want to
be a prisoner of your past.

So we should stop holding back
ouselves and overcome the fear
in us. Let's get ready to move
on, step out in faith
and see what's behind
this illusion.

And

when you have seen it,
you will be blown away,
because you never know
what God has installed
for you behind this
veil of illusion.

Mayday

Absolute mayday! haha. I had an awesome day today! I went to church for the mayday celebration. Everybody was letting their hair down tdy, they jus had absolute pure fun, no service. Its jus fun, fun, fun and more fun. lol. Met up with my cg and we line up for Sun's concert. Although i don't listen to chinese songs, i was kinda feeling high for the concert, that's bcuz everyone was feeling high! Of course it was a great concert, cuz we don't get to see Sun that often, so this is a great opportunity to to catch up with her and how she's doing etc.

Yup! After that, we went for the carnival, we talk, laugh, joked around, ya pretty fun atmosphere la. haha. Then we went for the rides(been ages since i've played that), but i didn't puked. lol. Ya met a few friends there also, like Weiming, we're discussing abt the drumfest tix and stuff. Also met Tan Boon(The Strikeforce leader), and he encouraged me to go for 2 days of the drumfest. so gotta think abt it bucz of financial constraints, but i'm defintely going for one of the days to see Benny Greb. Alrite that writes my whole mayday! Fun and unforgettable. =)
