i like this, i've a new place but nobody's ever going to know it exists. sometimes life's not what it seems. and you've to make decisions you never thought you'd make.

Back here cause it doesn't suck here

2010-10-19T01:47:00.002+10:00

i've decided to move back here. primarily because nobody knows this page exists anymore. and thats the way i like it. For now. For this moment.

i've had enough of exihibitionism. FB is possibly the biggest pile of nonsence the human race has come to embrace. ever.

Well, we're back for myself.

It seems that after one year away from Brisbane, the exact same things i tried to run away from, took form in a similar fashion. just in a different place.

Getting burnt out. Does the system even work. People parading a series of symphathetic views. Sincerity, not. Wasted time and pointless mismatches. Results over the means. Irrational faith in the incapable. Rampant thoughts for the circumstances. Betrayal on a daily basis. A deceitful heart for a people to bend. But worst of all, them being more true to us than ourselves.

No one really cares. No one really gives a damn.

i hate not being myself. but i'm just being the crowd.

the crowd of normal.

i've come to attain a severe disdain for the human spirit. when i really shouldn't.

why?

because it goes against my principles.

what?

sometimes i feel that the closest people i know are the ones least worth my time.

ouch.

Shatter me with Hope

The girl who cried love, won't you come and play with me
You can be Cassandra, underneath the sword of Damacles
We'll tear this baby apart wise like Solomon
run, come shatter me now
Shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
Shatter me with hope

She'll be the witness to the repose of Evelyn
Push the needle in
To the canticles of ecstasy
Turn to page forty three
And you'll know how I feel

Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl come breathe me in, bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
shatter me with hope

Swear on your hearts grave I'm wrong
and love like your life's depending on it
cause it is!

We'll tear this baby apart, wise like Solomon
Turn to page forty three, and you'll know how I feel

Run, come shatter me now, shatter me with hope
Crawl, come breathe me in
Bleed out all sorrow
Scream me a dream, untouched by shadows
Baby, shatter me now, shatter me now
shatter me with hope
Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now
hope
Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now
hope, hope
Scream me a dream
(Shatter me now shatter me now shatter me now)
Scream me a dream
(Shatter me now, shatter me now, shatter me now)

i hope the lower freqeuency of these pain moments mean that im doing better.

i'm giving in only because its not my fight that i've been fighting.

It's not the same anymore.

Slipping in. Let's go listen to some of edward's songs of the moment. yea

don't worry, only two metal songs. im getting soft. oh but please, listen to the shining song. band of the moment man. freakin awesome stuff..

Biffy Clyro - Mountains

Shining - Fisheye

Shrinebuilder - Pyramid of the moon

Bryan Adams - Please forgive me (this is a totally retarded song, but its nice)

Michael Buble - I Just Haven't Met you yet

And I just want to believe that too..

Zzzzz..

2010-02-11T03:45:00.001+10:00

Help

.. Just three more days

Not who I used to be.

2010-02-06T00:45:00.001+10:00

Oh, the simpler times of yesteryear.

Being born gentle leaves a bitter aftertaste.

Less bitter than when I have to face half of your heart that can't decide.

What I thought was set in stone turned out to be a fool. A fool who notices his foolishness. Yet lacking in his capacity to grasp his own intricacies in trying to figure his livihood. Leaving nothing left of the man, except the dust that was meant as the stone holding what he figured was everything, down.

Confusing me.

2010-02-05T04:57:00.001+10:00

Sometimes even if it's special, it doesn't mean it's special.

Woot.

On the taxi home.

2010-02-05T03:28:00.001+10:00

Actually I'm jaded because I'm constantly trying to catch that snow flake in the air that always melts before you can savour it. And reappears in the air just so that I can try catching it again.

And I just keep chasing that fleeting moment without cause, so that I will hopefully in the end capture a snowflake which doesn't melt.

Which by the way is darn near impossible, yet I've always had enough hope to dream that little dream.

I'm really lost in a sea of a pea.

Actually, I might actually just be lost. Period.

Ja-ja-ja-jaded.

2010-02-05T03:20:00.001+10:00

I'm jaded from life man.

It's getting damn hard to stay happy.

Esp when it's all unintentionally planned.

Remembering those days before I left for brisbane...

Globing on the way to and fro and ard home..

Office laptop was in repairs for 10 hrs today. So didn't get much done. Which is not a good thing. The more you leave till later, the more later will haunt you when later finds you.

So what's up everyone?

It's still prolly half an hour more till we reach, and another half an hour to sort things out in office before I'll start to make my way home.

Was sick most of the week with the flu, but still went in nevertheless. Most ppl say my snr's a tough one to wok with, I don't think so.

2009-10-07T21:55:00.003+10:00

putting in the finishing touches to my pack-up as i type.

it has been a most enjoyable week, highlights include the chinese theatre, just "crusing" down hollywood and beverly hills, burger king's angry whoopers, zachy growing up and of course amoeba records.

it's time for me to go once again, but of course with a luggage full of vinyls (including the latest release by paradise lost "faith divides us, death unites us"!!), I head back quite happy

another couple of days till i enter into the fabled monotony of work, something i hope i'd learn to enjoy someday

till tmr!

it's official, i passed!

2009-08-31T03:28:00.002+10:00

nick was just sharing this very inspiring message today during cds

1 Cor 9:24-27²⁴Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. ²⁵Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. ²⁶Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. ²⁷No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

Spiritual discipline is important

the training behind usain bolt's victory was probably incredibly immense

he had a goal

and to achieve that goal, the discipline he had to go through became his friend instead of an enemy.

likewise nothing that trains our spiritual self should be an "enemy", no disciple we put ourselves through because "the Bible says so" should be an enemy

if it is, we've lost the plot

v26 always stands out to me.

what does it really mean to beat the air as the Bible so describes it?

and to fight like it?

basically i think it just means pure stupidity.

nonsense etc

don't do things which are nonsensical

and those things are that which does NOT build our spiritual men

for myself, the simple message here is to just get it clear and right in what i'm doing, that its not something which is a waste of my time..

but to invest into something more purposeful and eternal

through that outlook, we find that everything we do starts to BE that discipline we wanted to achieve

now, wasn't that hard was it?

bob.

2009-08-31T03:20:00.002+10:00

yesterday was amazing la

bob

team C emerged Champions!

the funny thing was this.. we didn't even try that hard

our focus was simply to be united and stick together

we were so casual during the entire event

but i guess team work was all that was needed

i will remember the tree climbing contest forever

so tired, but yet so rewarding when we came down and saw how high our mark was..

sure it wasn't the highest, but with whatever manpower we had, we just gave our best.

proud =)

and i think that really reflected what Ps Wen An shared before we started off

to be strong men as individuals, but also as a team.

and i believe our team showed that very aspect both as a unit and as individuals

props to tommyfunfunfun, kelvin, unagi, chrispak, freddie, alvinong for being great teammates

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

this is HILARIOUS!!!

oh my goodness couldn't stop laughing.. as funny as the yellowcard wall of death.

AND TO AMON AMARTH!! HAHAHAHAA DAMN FUNNY!!!!

from the article:

'Epic Viking Rowing': The Safer Alternative To The 'Wall Of Death'? - Aug. 25, 2009

Forget about the "wall of death" — fans of the Swedish Viking metal band AMON AMARTH have come up with a much safer — and more audience-friendly — way to rock out to their favorite band while serving as a much-needed source of entertainment for all the onlookers. The so-called "epic Viking rowing" debuted during AMON AMARTH's performance at this year's Bloodstock Open Air festival — which was held August 14-16, 2009 at Catton Hall in Derbyshire, England — and is said to be catching on like Viking wildfire.

A two-and-a-half-minute clip highlighting this brand new concert ritual can be viewed below

so if you're free reading blogs and have nothing much to do, lets all gather to pray for my four ulcers in my mouth. it's probably due to stress (though i'm not the only stressed one). and it gives me a bad headache everytime i wake up cos it's just so pain. thanks for healing in advance. =)

on a side note, i just finished this "Holiness of God" book by this old fella. And it's a thoroughly excellent read of the deity of God. So pick it up and run with it. =P

"This Picture"

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Of cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's fated
(We) Disintegrated it
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's fated
(We) Assassinated it
For fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's fated
(We) Disintegrated it
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's fated
(We) Assassinated it
For fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Sometimes it's fated
(We) Disintegrated it
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's fated
(We) Assassinated it
For fear of growing old
Can't stop growing old...

whats going on?

whats going on?

i've been moving places these couple of weeks and somehow it doesn't feel uncomfortable to me anymore

today was grad day for many people, like my favourite fruit, guava, saWah, phEObe and Astroboy.

so congrats to them all!

glad all of u know where you're going after this

i think the past couple of weeks, and rightly so, have seen a dynamic change in the atmosphere and terrain of LG. I knew this was going to happen. Not me, God.

So I'm just sitting back, and just to watch everything unfold before my eyes. I sensed a big change, and i guess this really is a big change.

its really a wind of change sweeping this place over, and its a good thing too

ok, usage of Singapore flag total count: about 13 different occasions

money well spent.

2009-06-22T03:35:00.002+10:00

oh oh

and i forgot to mention...

yesterday i caught this man here...

tommy emmanuel

kudos to xiao di, a.k.a. iced chong, you-nagi for dragging me along for his concert

the most brilliant guitarist i've ever caught live.

techinical, yet thoroughly entertaining throughout his 2 hour show

it completely blew my mind off this very planet earth, i wouldn't call it a gig, but if i did, it'd def be my top 3 in my life thus far..

mind blowing

i went in with faint expectations, but came out a convert.. he is a genius..

the thing that stood out was his stage act and esp his slower songs.. i almost cried as he played.. flashbacks of clapton comes into mind.. the tone and soul in his guitar, stunning

i literally couldn't watch when he played the duet with his brother.. They were too much to take in..

Music gets to me like that.. so overwhelming lah

i mean, he is more than a musician..

i'm so impressed (and rarely by a solo musician) by his talent and ability to speak to the crowd throughout the concert.. its rare that i twitch on every song a musician plays, by tommy does just that and i just twitch non-stop cos it's so darn moving!! (finding my head flinching every time he bends his string)

its really one of those gigs i'd remember for life.. esp this one because i went in with such low expectations (having watched his dvds before), but came out sooo overwhelmed..

power lah tommy

i love him to bits now.. i think he compliments doom metal really well..

he's a genius

can't say much lah.. he's just amazing as an artist..

his fast songs are nice to watch, but its really his slow songs that he makes them so listenable..

i think the gig might just have spurred me on to playing more acoustic guitar, and being more musical minded in my approach to playing music.. i need to learn the bigger picture, and the meaning of space..

an absolutely horrendous day

decided to wash rach's car squeaky clean. but just before i headed to the garage, my phone hanged on me.. AGAIN.

and i spent a good three hours (whilst cleaning the car too) trying to get it to run

its working, for now

gonna be buying a sony eric. charger tmr just in case i've to use my spare phone soon

and i woke up like a zombie, its really the gloomy clouds.. it gets to me.. irritating..

time for some candlemass, fits the occasion..

an absolutely horrendous day, save the father's day, home call, dinner, service, woolshed, supper and the car cleaning.. wasn't really all too bad after all eh?

time to disown my tytn II and own a touchpro2

s&g.

2009-06-18T18:10:00.004+10:00

Hi all.

my yesterday post didn't go up, and i hate putting late things up cos there's really no point

anyways yesterday was s&g day. live in bris ent cen..

only the greatest duo ever to grace this planet of ours.

imo.

my dad listened to them, and then i did.

this is almost as huge to me when i caught iron maiden three times last year.

and as predicted, the audience were mainly full of mid-50 baby boomers

we were the only asians (expected) and probably the youngest (expected too) people there

my parents did wonder out loud to before on what went wrong with me in the process of me growing up. what happened to all those classical and vocal music that kept filling my head to exploding capacity

think i just got bored

anyways here's two vids i took yesterday of them.. awesome hur?

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Sound of Silence

oh and yesterday i found out where every life group members stayed.. its abit interesting to know some people stay so close to you.. and how everyone seems to believe they live in what they know as "the most obscure house in St Lucia".

i was born in the wrong decade i say..

ok and today i did the dumbest thing la.. i was supposed to pig pastor Wilson up, and then i went to the wrong address. ok but heres the funny thing, i still ended up at his place in the afternoon cos we had to return his car from the airport. prolly spent like 4 hrs on the road driving around just delivering cars.. amazingly i managed to wake up at 7.30am.. i'm gonna nap. bye

Ps 27:4.

2009-06-14T00:56:00.001+10:00

Is there a Ps 27:4 is everyone of us?

I was using this over Friday, and the more I pondered over it, the more I know that there is really a Ps 27:4 in every single person. Well, some just lodged in more deeply than others. If you haven’t acknowledged it yet, maybe it’s time you did.

But for myself. I know that has not always been the case.

Sometimes its this, sometimes its that. And like my boss told me last week, wavering around like a school in a coral.

The question is this. Is it really as inconsequential to be not Ps 27:4 as we think (or at least I think)?

Does not being Ps27:4 have consequences?

How inconsequential is it to not be Ps27:4?

Do people really have non-Ps27:4 moments in their lives? Not even a slight hint?

Moments where nothing in them lingers over the thought of being under a higher being?

Even during times when we are uncontrollable and in our weak moments speak blasphemously of the Lord, are we entirely non-Ps27:4; to have no part in, not even a single bit of us thinking/wanted to be that?

I think not, but maybe I’m thinking wrongly.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong here, that’s not my point here today. The point is whether is it possible to actually not wanting to worship a higher being.

I just caught the davinci code again, and again it ironically reaffirmed my stand of faith. Somehow it opened my eyes yet again to realise who are really the blind ones.

Winds Of Plaque.

2009-06-06T12:26:00.001+10:00

Warning: Rant ahead.

Winds of Plague?

More like winds of plaque…

Oh my goodness.. And you call that metal?

Cannibal Corspe over them anyday.

Poseurs

If you wanna do some death metal, at least attempt to do it decently listenable. not some poor man’s version deathcore.

Goodness. Save me from horrible music..

I miss boyboy.

2009-06-03T10:02:00.009+10:00

sigh

2009-05-13T04:53:00.002+10:00

anyone saw albert lambert on idol? goodness. he's good. led zeppelin - whole lotta love

too bad he's remotely gay

the new hillsong united is out btw. get it a week ago.. best cd they've done thus far. good structure and arrangements.. way better than any thing they're done bar united we stand.. but every cd that they churn out gets a level higher in terms of technicality.. so if we took 6 months to play a song from the last album, i'm guessing it'd take us a year to play anything from here.. indulgence is my greatest weakness.. if i got it my way (thank goodness its not) we'd be bashing through all the songs right now..

not much to update except i'm having a blast of a time here in the states. great food, cheap clothes and cute nephew. tired, but happy. will update soon..

i leave u with a new song

Phoenix AZ

2009-05-06T16:17:00.001+10:00

Hi all.

I've just teached Phoenix after a 23 hour flight. My butt hurts like a a orange hurts as you peel its skin off...

Ok and I just played with Zachy for so long today i've lost count. Think 7-8 hours? My arms are about to fall off.

29 MORE DAYS TO GO!! WOOHOOOO!!

And i had my first taste of shopping today at Arrowhead Mall. And and A&W lunch!!!

A&W FTW!

ok tired. laters.

2009-04-27T13:07:00.002+10:00

flu outbreak in mexico, reaching US.

deadly.

a week before i fly to the states.

this is sooo a sign for me to be going now. can't wait! =D

oh and also because of this, I'm no longer going to San Francisco anymore. Heading straight to Phoenix.

pray for me though. warfare warfare warfare aplentiful.

SF.

2009-04-19T02:42:00.002+10:00

no. SF is NOT Street Fighter.

neither is it Science fiction.

its San Francisco.

cos if you're going to San francisco, you'd be wearing flowers in your hair.

and to meet gentle people there.

and summer-time, oh summer-time, will be a love-in there

i'm more than pumped. everything almost done and settled. only thing left is to say my goodbyes, cause I may never return.

seeya everyone.

2009-04-15T04:54:00.003+10:00

Within Destruction

[Verse]

If music is

A mirror revealing

The depths of my heart

Then I will write

The darkest song

For without

Forgiveness

My soul is lost

[Chorus (2x):]

All that is hope

Within destruction

Comes from you

For I have fallen

Fallen

[Verse (Quiet)]

If music is

A mirror revealing

The depths of my heart

Then I will write

The darkest song

For without

Forgiveness

My soul is lost

All that is hope

Within destruction

Comes from you

[Break]

For I have fallen

And there is nothing good

Within me yet I've

Been given life

I willI will never

Deserve

For without

Forgiveness

Without forgiveness my soul is lost

[Outro (4x)]

All that is hope

Within destruction

[4x]

All that is hope

hiya

the past few weeks have been wierd

i mean, i still can't find a job.

i messed up some things.

i've been pre-occupied with some matters.

i'm tired.

it's purify-ing season. it's hard.

i caught in flames.

my phone crashed.

my Christian leanings have changed somewhat.

i decided to go for OC.

birthdays.

mucho meals, and seemingly, everybody's grown up.

i learnt how to play soccer, or learnt how to play badly.

made three trips to maccas in an hour.

i learnt how to appreciate not-metal songs.

played boomtown, and lost.

got sick of drums, for awhile.

found myself again.

but this takes the cake.

going America in May.

!!!

YES AH!!!

just got my visa to travel out today, and bought my tix yesterday, only after dropping the news to Han.

Planning to catch a Lakers game, Dave Matthews, No Doubt, NIN and Jane's Addiction.

Going to San Francisco first, then Phoenix Arizona for the bulk for the stay, and then to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon. Followed by a trip to Los Angeles, and back to San Fran at the end of the trip.

And guess what, the best thing is that I'll be travelling ALONE!!

OH MY GOODNESS.

total emo-ness

imagine being in America, an unknown land, all by myself. Travelling to awe-inspiring sites. Doing what I want to do. Doing what I enjoy. Sitting back with a coffee. Nobody to insist where to go. My travel, my plans. I already like the sound of it.

ITS THE BOMB LA!

WAHHHH can't wait.

Of all though, I just can't wait to see my family again, and of course the little monkey.

I thought Cairns would be the bestest holiday ever of my life. That will change pretty soon.

sneak preview: http://www.nps.gov/yose/ & http://www.nps.gov/grca/

Ok disclaimer. I'm still jobless. Booooo..

2009-03-10T11:38:00.002+10:00

I've listened to the new U2 album countless of times by now. And....

I firmly conclude that this album is just choked full of Christian lyrics/meanings.

In fact, probably the most "Christian" album they've written..

And I would say even more so than October.

I already like this album alot more than How to Dismantle.. and All that you..

Think many people are panning the album atm, but I beg to differ. Best album in a while.

Deegerri.

2009-03-01T03:15:00.002+10:00

Today was the most fun i have ever had on a daytrip. EVER.

And our contacts were awesome!

I guess it pays to really invest your time into people. Esp those who people normally shun.

Most non-Christians coming back next Friday and some for church service.

I just love God.

Side note: DCFC were jaw-droppingly awesome! I had to pick my jaw from the floor more times than one.

Side note 2: I got dragonforce jelliboi to join me on coldplay! Housemates 4eva!!

NLOTH.

2009-02-27T00:19:00.003+10:00

Now listening to U2's latest one, No Line on the Horizon.

A quick sniplet listen a moment ago said that it was an album of slow-mid-tempo songs. Only one or two fast ones.

And with U2, can only mean one thing, thats its gonna be great.

Its still early to give it a call, only my first listen, hundreds more spins to go..

But its obvious they've ditched their whole "All That You...", "How to Dismantle.." & "Vertigo" sound.. And reached back to their (incredible awesome) "Achtung Baby" sound with a small tint of the "Pop" sound...

I definately will want to get my furry paws on a vinyl edition of this.

ladies and gents.

I've just caught for myself, the mother of all chickflicks.

If Recliffe 2 got a minus nine upon ten.. this movie gets a minus nineteen upon ten.

It is ALMOST as bad as transporter 3.

Yep, its THAT bad.

Goodness.

I've caught two chickflicks in my life (this being the second), and i promise never to ever, EVER watch another one again.

If someone had just told me it was a chickflick, i'd have spent my time on something alot alot more worthwhile.. Like licking the dust off the floor of my kitchen..

just stop it will u.

2009-02-03T05:09:00.004+10:00

oh my goodness..

its like mike g. all over again.. when does the madness ever stop?

my dad thinks they're all con-men.. now i'm starting to feel the same way too..

but i noe ps w's way better than that. rise above i say.

just spent the past half hour reading the entire story. boy, was it boring.

Booker T.

2009-01-30T03:38:00.002+10:00

I caught a movie just slightly two days ago.

Changeling was one of the best movies I've watched in awhile.

With Clint Eastwood at the helm, and Angelina Jolie doing a mighty fine interpretation of Christine, the show absolutely blew me away. To just a little furthur than Japan.

And it helped too that I discovered the writer was none other than J. Michael Straczynski. One of my most favourite comic writers of all time. ALL TIME.

I usually don't talk about movies here, but this truly requires a mention.

It's one of those movies. Much like Michael Clayton two years ago, it kept me wanting more at the very end. To dig deeper into the story. To yearn to revel in the unique and though-provokingly beautiful characters on the big screen for just a bit longer.

Stunningly gorgeous in its intricacies.

For those who get it, it brings you through a roller coaster ride.. And not just based on whats on the screen, but on what went through in their minds and hearts. Their pain, agony, suffering, relief, joy, bitterness and of course, regret.

Brilliant.

I don't care what the others or the critics say.

Oh and I caught Red Cliffe 2 as well. I give it a minus 9 upon 10. Quite dreadful.

Predictable plot, bad acting and terrible fight scenes. Garh.

Boop.

2009-01-28T05:09:00.002+10:00

Just look at the big faced hamster. Wonder which side he got that from.

Check him out carrying TWO (!) bolsters with his arms! He is one strong kid.

We are dinosaurs. Yes we are.

Father and son team. Goodness.

Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw. Blanket attack!

He is so adorable!!! I bet the snow melted because of him.
