~~~~~~~~~~BLOG GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~
hahahahaha :)
I thank God that I could spend the past 2 days with my mum, did not realize i miss her so much... I was deprived of my mum as some of you know. oh well, good to see her anyway, I wanted to do something for her, so i cooked dinner for her. I cant remember the last time i cooked for someone, so i tried my best. The xiao bai cai in oyster sauce has a little too much oyster sauce, and the vege was abit overcooked, but other than that i think it was good, And i cooked bak kut teh. I bought a packet of herbs and then just dumped everything, basically follow instructions... haha, noob mah...
Today Pastor Soh gave the message, sounded like a farewell message to me. Cant believe i missed him too man, His great voice and he carried the message with grace and gusto. I was actually mesmerised by his message actually. He preached on "Who is the righteous?" based on Psalm 1.
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither.
whatever he does prospers.
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff
that the wind blows away
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish "
Like rev. soh said, who can stand before the Lord? Who can fit this bill? Not me. I cannot... For a sinful person like me, I definitely do not think i can possibly righteous enough. But its by grace that God can make us righteous again.
Made me think a while. I have been reading a book, its titled " one minute millionaire" same author who brought you "who moved my cheese". Its a book on philosophies on how to be rich. But one thing i noticed in this book and its this.
" All it takes is just one minute, and it all began as a thought"
Seems nothing is impossible now. And just heard from somewhere, about doing something right for the next fifteen years could begin with 15 minutes a day on how you spend it.
okok, its not at all new, and its common sense. But when someone else comes and tell you something like that, i do not believe its coincidence.God must have a divine plan.
I guess God have been watching over me for the past few months even though i could not "feel" him. The church was advancing slowly although I could not "feel" him in church. It all points down to faith.
Yup i was losing it. but recently some testimonies just turned me around again. like prayer and praise. the testimonies of Chris and Aunt Anna. The concept of mere coincidence was shattered in my head, I mean come on, what was the odds of Chris testimony of God, helping him to get the exact sum of money for missions, happening to you?
Sigh, and all i ever wanted to do was be good in guitar... suddenly its my passion and desire. I miss jamming, I cant wait for exams to be over! Then I wanna jam as much as i want b4 the guys go army and before i start my new school term.
Got a very bad feeling of my results this time, but by God's grace i hope the damage is not that bad, cos i got good results for both final year project and industrial training program. So pray for me ya?
Oh yeah, trying my best to not upload anymore guitar vids. I must humble myself and acknowledge that i am still not good yet. Anyway, I really wanna keep my promise to someone whom i promised that before i leave SP, I would shred the school to pieces. lol. No joke. I still intend to keep my promise to edwin ( 7 more years to donating a fountain to church) and Joshua Chang ( 8 more years to play guitar for Hillsongs ).
My aim, to become a top electric guitar sessionist by 35 years old. Please support me! Pray for me K? okok, gotta slp, night night!

Hi guys, How have you all been? School started recently for most of ya, hope you are coping well.
Last Friday was a disappointing day of worship practice for me. For the first time i had so much problems with my vocals... It was so frustrating, I really wanted to give my best since it might be the last time i am going to lead YF worship... especially the song, "tell the world". Boy i kept getting it wrong.... So I literally set my mp3 to repeat track mode and listened it till about 12.30...
Sat morning, I went to meet a sister (means female friend, think watever ya like...) for breakfast at doubhy. was like an hour late, felt so bad to make her wait, so i treat her to LJS breakfast. Haha, the display pic for the dishes is deceiving... We thought the sandwich would be small, but haha, man its big. Good thing is its not too expensive and i got to eat her share, yeah...
but that was not the main purpose of meeting her, we came to challenge each other in Dance Dance Revolution! Yup! I dance man! And yer dun need to guesss who was winning who. haha, but the victory did not matter as much, i had alot of fun.
Then was youth. Man, frustrating again. Still could not get "tell the world". But hey, Thank God Somehow i managed to pull something off, and i felt everything went quite smoothly, except some wrong notes and drummer going off tempo or style at crucial points but other than that it was ok.
Then we had a interesting way of cramming the whole gospel of John into our heads. We had to work in teams to memorise parts of the gospel and then close book quiz. Our group did quite well. Hannah contributed alot, but the most epic moment was when we had to depend on small matthew for an answer and we were skeptical till josiah said that it was correct! Matthew, yer the man.
Stayed over friends place again. did recording... haha, somehow i forgot how boring recordings are... i fell asleep during the thing...
nextday, aunty jennifer gave my mum a ride to church. I am very thankful to her for that, mobility is really a problem for her... and service was, as usual. Then Feng Nan showed me lyrics for a tune i came up with, supposed to be a collab between Him and moi to write a emo song. Anyway no comments on whatever he wrote, it was all for fun.
But the highlight of the day was after church i headed for Justin's place to jam. The Bassist was going to be late, so we had a DJ max, a music game in the PSP, battle. haha i improved again! out of 20 matches i beat him 5. Okok, it may not be alot, but it was better than the first time i played with him. like 27 matches only 1 win. and btw its only the 3rd time i played with him...
Anyway, the bassist took longer than expected, we headed to his com room where all his equipment is kept. Can you imagine a small room no bigger than 3x3m with a computer, tons of books, at least 5-7 electric guitars, 1 keyboard, a drum set, a 20 inch amp, a 15 inch amp, 1 bass amp, 2 small 10 inch amps, tons of cables and 3 chairs to cram the already crammed place. haha
so for starters we did not know what to play, so i remember one of practices at home, i came up with a riff, it was inspired by one of the Paul Gilbert performances, cant remember whats the title. so i taught justin the style of drum in envisioned the song to carry, and we jammed a bit. Thats when the bassist arrived. Stupid Siddik, scared the crap out of me, he opened the door partially and waited there right in front of my face.
We played a few warm up songs, but pretty boring cos we do not have a vocalist. so everything we played by memory. Then Justin suggested we play the new song we came up with, so i taught Sid the riff, and soon he got it. Thank God his musically inclined. I just wish that most musicians are like him. Anyway, we jammed the song, and we got hooked on it! It was the best original we came up with ever since "we suck at guitar" and "Life". Since we did not have a vocals so i cant be bothered to add a vocals part. and split the song into mini sections for all of us to solo over it. Pretty cool eh, everybody gets to show their stuff. haha and thanks to the drummer we had to take 8 takes of recording to get what you will see later.
Ok, so heres the end product of the recording. What you will see is me jamming over the audio recorded live from his place. I am still hook to the song.
hope you enjoyed it and have a good week, gotta study for my thursday paper!

wow, seems like i never updated my blog for some time. Better do some domestic house keeping now. Let me explain why i do not update my blog. November has been a emotional strain for me, i do wish to explain. And december... oh wake me up when december ends... oh wait it ended already. Darn. It was the same as the other years when i was chairman. Preparing for camp and exam, projects, family, friend and what have you... And there was my school spinnovex. Dun ask me how my group got the silver award, i am amazed that we even got into the spinnovex.
Anyway, Its a new year, but things are pretty much the same. However i am not gonna waste this year. This is my chance to find my life. And while I am at it, I am gonna have as much fun as i can. Now i am not chairman and stuff, I do not have the responsibility of making sure everythings well. But I guess i need to have more faith in Josiah, our new Youth worker. Still pretty much involved in YF, since Mavis is kinda like a greenhorn at worship. I guess everyone needs experience. I need to step back a little. I hope that this coming saturday is the last time i lead youth worship. I pray that new Worship Leaders will rise.
Almost wanted to move out recently. My grandma went a little short circuit the past 2 months, shes disowning all her children like its the new in thing and she was giving me hell. But i guess the recent 4 member birthday gave her a little smile. until my 2nd uncle wife made a smug comment and now my grandma is suddenly nice to me again. Figures.
About my guitar, Picking it up again. I dun wanna waste my time, although my PSP which i won by accident, is eating much of my time. I think i pissed my new teacher Paul Danial off, I went for one lesson, but had no chance to go back to him cause of FYP and what have you... and i am still stuck at verve, dunno why but i am not learning much under him now...
anyway, today went to practice my guitar abit, and for fun I played the national Anthem. lol
And I made a song maybe about 3 weeks ago, its a guitar instrumental, but i just used chords only. enjoy. Feng nan found it mysterious, how about you?
back into song writing mode again. But exams round the corner... haiz, PSP or Pass? hard to decide. :)
anyway, I hope that this year the band can at least play consistent this year, I dun care much about fame or money... music is more than enough for me.
