Alright, as you all know, i want to be proficient in my guitar, so from now on i will be adding my guitar training regime! Some of you may wonder, "why is he such a idiot, let everybody know what is he doing..." Let me tell you, I want everybody to be good in guitar, Its good for everybody and for me, so i have a lot of rivals to compete with! Exciting man!

I am so happy when i see Don, Chris, FengNan... all becoming better at the guitar! I mean, its like seeing your children growing up... so proud to be their teacher... But Ah hah, this is where i will grow stronger as well, my theory will improve when i teach others, and because i dun wanna lose out i will learn more songs and train harder as well, not to mention i will learn more songs as they request me to teach them songs! So guys continue to Pump me with questions KAY! mwa hahahhahhaa.

Future Pro worship guitarist in the house... Actually Kum Soon is such a influence, my teacher i mean, I mean he is not cool or anything, He will let his guitar do the talking, instead of we yapping away about how good we are, Kum soon let his guitar speak for itself! I can just imagine him, ripping away with spanish licks and rolls...

Ya My dream is to help out in my church as a proficient guitarist to train future youth guitarist to play and lead worship, I also want to establish the church as a Song producing church, kinda like City Harvest Church. I mean we got so many talents lah, look at Norman and Jasper, and not to mention all the guys and gals who are picking up instruments, there shall be equality, nobody guitar better than the other, so no one can boast.

However, I want to gain credibility, thats why i joined VertiCross, I will go all the way for them! As guitarist, i learn many techniques through the many songs that we play, Yahoo! music paradise, not to mention, its getting more and more fun with the song list piling up!

Ahaha, you think i let this take over God? No, the further i go, the more i depend on his strength to sustain me, and his will for me for i know its perfect. I will expand his Kingdom through music! And i want everybody to join in the journey! LEts start a crusade, rocking away for the Lord!

VertiCross is entering another SP band competition, Band Edge, YES ITS ANOTHER COMPETITION!!!! audition is this friday, so gotta chiong. Anyway, you guys probably wondering about how the finals went.

~~~~~~FLASH BACK!~~~~~~~~~~


The Finals began, and Kurage(the band name then) was fidgeting as Harlequin was finishing their song "Sweetness". We began setting up behind the closed curtains, and could hear the crowd (which sounds pretty hard to please) echoing away. We set up based on the rehearsals we had earlier, praying for the equipment to go well... Then Mike (male emcee) called Rita for a short interview about our group and song choice, The reaction from the crowd when they heard a japanese name was nerve wrecking... Soon the curtains rolled... Song began...

Weird thing is that you cant see the crowd as the turn off the lights on them to focus on us, Worse is that i cannot really see my guitar as well, i began playing by fill and ear... The guys seems quite nervous, although they were cooly playing away... Cameras from the school photography club flashing away, was distracting, and makes you wanna act more cool cos you dun wanna look like a idiot out there, very pressurizing cos if you dun act cool and give something for the people to admire, the crowd will be disappointed, So i know all those entertainers why they have to act cool.

We tried out best but i guess our nervousness got the better of us, we did not played as well as we practiced... As we though we won fourth place, out of the four finalist... Means last. But i was not disappointed, I was excited, cos i know there is a long way to go! means theres alot more to experience!

Haha we won a miserable $50 ... prob to cover future jamming cost... I was happy that we even won something for the not so good effort given.

Anyway, story might be too long for you guys, Kudos for reading all the way.. And guys, as much as my appearance change, i am still the same.
