Well. This song is titled "Sweet Memories".

Good Day

2010-10-05T18:47:00.001+08:00

Yesterday night I prayed that I would get a better instructor today. It turns out my prayer got answered. I got a very friendly instructor that was patient with me and actually taught me how to grasp the biting point of the clutch. Superbly grateful that my prayer was answered. I gained more confidence in my driving. Kudos to you G.

The Man in the Mirror

2010-10-05T01:47:00.003+08:00

" The greatest enemy is the one in the mirror - yourself. "

Today I had my first driving practical lesson at ComfortDelgro Driving Centre. As I approached my learning car 197, I saw my driving instructor and he seemed like a nice person. It turns out that he is actually a friendly person (at the start) and explained to me the basic procedures and controls in the car. Then as I did a few roundings, I realised he was actually an impatient fellow. Each time I stalled he would get so angry (even at the first time when I stalled). I saw so much of myself in that driving instructor. Sometimes, God talks to people through people and that just happened today. I went through 2 hours of stressful driving with no comfort at all(the irony). I was simply astounded and dumbfounded by this sudden realization of who I have been. I went through what I have made others did.

I.need.to.change.

Tenacity to Live

2010-09-15T15:19:00.002+08:00

Even if the walls come tumbling down,

Even if the waves come falling down,

You push on. You stay strong. You carry on.

A touch, that was all I was.

2010-09-14T03:18:00.001+08:00

Terra Incognizant

by Prometheus

You would think by now, I would know my way around,
I shouldn't miss you so badly, I should be on familiar ground.
How many more lonely years, must meander by,
until I learn the lesson, it does no good to cry.
What manner of iron will, must some people possess,
to be always looking forward, to never accept regress.
Perhaps if I was willing, to let someone take me by the hand,
they could show me a happy place, in this unfamiliar land.
Perhaps I'm only homesick, for all the joys that once were mine,
I must accept that they and you, belong to another place and time.
But I know that deep within my heart, there's a place where only you reside,
and when the pain of loneliness comes, it knows that is where I hide.
So if sometimes it seems to you, I'm clinging to the past,
it's mostly because I can't yet accept, that our love didn't last.
No matter how hard I try, I've yet to get over you,
for the part of me that's still alive, believes you love me too.
Maybe there will come a day, when that part will finally die,
and feeling strong with a heart reborn, a new love I will finally try.
And what a splendid day that will be, when I awaken to discover,
I'm happily learning a great new land, with a great new friend and lover.

Random Ramblings

2010-09-13T00:49:00.003+08:00

Many people come and go.

Treasure them coz you never know.

A plethora of opportunities, yet lady luck aint smiling at all.

In order to make it, you have to have countless falls.

It takes more than just effort , it's a mind over matter issue.

Better realise that before you are overdue.

It's gonna get tougher, harder and complex

You just have to be wise and use durex.

First Impressions

2010-09-01T20:52:00.002+08:00

Disclaimer: Excuse me if this post offends you, no pun intended.

I'm gonna touch on the topic of First Impressions. They say first impressions are important and whatever that comes after not so. This is very true. In this current age/society, people are looking for the "perfect" deal (in other words, the cream of the crop). No matter how good you are at something, they will not be enticed by your talent a single bit lest you have the "package" model in you. What I mean by the "package" would be good looks, an outspoken personality (crowd-pleaser) and.. thats pretty much it. It's no longer about your talent or how good you are. This is a saddening fact that certain people are not being recognized for what they do. It's not about how cool you look or the numbers. It's about enjoying what you do. Not for the dollars or the chicks, but simply the passion. All the commercialized bullshit is crossing out the talent that exists. There is but one fact - the world's a stage and all the people, judges. No, there ain't no second chances, you only got one shot and if you lose it, you lose it forever. Cruel but true.

At a loss

2010-08-11T03:54:00.005+08:00

Striving to create the perfect moments. Beautiful ones that are etched in your head.

Trying to forget the bad ones.

Now tell me, what actually suffices?

What actually satisfies?

I've lost all the positivity in me. I'm becoming a cynic.

If only all my "if only"s came true.

Counting the steps

2010-07-16T00:46:00.003+08:00

I'm devoid of love,
But I press on.
I'm in lack,
but I appreciate what I have.

A silent tug at his heart, always reminiscing of the past and how things used to be.
As if nothing had happened.

I don't really like chinese songs but.

The pain ceases to leave

2010-07-15T01:08:00.002+08:00

You have been lingering on my head.
And I struggle, I admit. I really do.
I just try to make the best of what I have so I'd be happy.
I want to get over this.
I don't know why, I don't know when.
But someday I would somehow.

When Love And Hate Collide

2010-07-12T23:39:00.001+08:00

When you don't feel a thing.

You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Instead of slamming down the phone girl, for the hundredth time
I got your number on my wall, but I ain't gonna make that call
When divided we stand baby, united we fall

Got the time got a chance gonna make it
Got my hands on your heart gonna take it
All I know I can't fight this flame
You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind
Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby, time after time

Without you
One night alone Is like a year without you baby
Do you have a heart of stone
Without you
Can't stop the hurt inside
When love and hate collide

I don't wanna fight no more, I don't know what we're fighting for
When we treat each other baby, like an act of war
I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise
When the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes

There's a time and a place and a reason
And I know I got a love to believe in
All I know got to win this time

Expres-SING my thoughts

2010-07-11T20:49:00.001+08:00

A song I wrote.

As I was walking on the streets
I saw a girl who seemed so sweet
Would I ever know her name
Would I ever see her again

Her lips were just like honey
Her earrings looked so funny
I wanna know her name
I wanna hug her everyday

What am I waiting for
I should just say hel- lo

Chorus:
I said..
Hey girl can I get your number
Everytime I see you I fumble
I stop what I'm doing just to look at you
I just wanna say I like you.

Your voice is stuck inside my head
I ask myself could this be fate that
That you are the one for me
And I'm the one for you
I care what happens to you
You are on my mind all the time
I wanna hug you when you're sad
I wanna be there when you feel bad

Happy Birthday

2010-06-14T11:14:00.002+08:00

Happy birthday to you.
Reminiscence. It's been quite awhile since I last texted you.
I miss you.
I hope you had a great year so far.
Love the times that we had.
Take care of yourself, I know you will.
If you're ever feeling down and have no one else,
you know who to look for.

Goodbye.

It's been awhile hasn't it?

2010-06-12T23:13:00.003+08:00

Nobody's like you. I couldn't find anyone else who's like you.

This Hurdle

2010-06-08T21:34:00.002+08:00

Toss away the agonizing pain
Throw away that thing that drains.
Lose the bad, take in the good.
Life is love , life is crude.
Every day, every night, I felt so blue.
This Hurdle would I overcome too?

If you want me to stop bothering you, delete and block me so I will never ever get to.

I'll have to stop being impatient.
Time for things to change.
I shouldn't rush into things.

Liberating

2010-06-05T23:05:00.001+08:00

It feels kinda liberating that I'm finally free of that emotional trap. Moving on seemed hard but time played a big part in aid. I'm happy that you're happy.
So smile and hope for greater things in store for you in the future :)

Keep it positive.

2010-05-26T22:14:00.003+08:00

Today , 26th May of 2010 , would be the day I'll be happy for the things I have. I'll regain the confidence that I used to have and strive for excellence in everything I do. I'll be happy for sure and I'll smile out of uncontrollable joy.

Why is that so?
I've come to a sudden realization that you shouldn't be vexed over the things you do not have but instead be happy for the things you do have.

Giving up

2010-05-25T16:25:00.002+08:00

Today after class, my teacher talked to me.
She said I used to be very enthusiastic , and now I seem to be laid-back.
My friends said they never heard me give up on any task given only until recently.
I guess I've lost the confidence I used to have.
Who would make it all better? Or make me smile a little?

Stay , Strong.

2010-05-24T22:18:00.001+08:00

You strive to make things better and when things don't work out , you let go.
That's how you become stronger.
By building up that inner defense to strengthen your character.
Stay Strong, Stay courageous.

Tired

2010-05-22T22:57:00.003+08:00

There comes a point in life where you feel like stopping. When currently everything in your life tantamount to a void of unhappiness and unworthiness. You notice that you don't smile anymore. You've lost hope. You've lost your fighting spirit. You've lost the drive that gets you going. All that remains is that puny amount of strength to make you last a little longer.

A Song For You

2010-05-05T23:56:00.001+08:00

Brendon Koh - Maybe I lied

Verse1:
Through all the nights, there I stood waiting
With you in my mind, I never complained
Just a look at these eyes of yours, they attracted mine
I think I have fallen for you in the secret
I had these fantasies, of you and me.
So real they seem to me, so tenderly
I can't get them out of my mind, impossible
It seems you're more than just a somebody

Chorus:
Maybe I lied when I said I got over you
Baby I'll die for you just to say I miss you
Never have you left my mind
No no not even once at all
cause darling you have to know this fact
that I , love, you.

Verse2:
Remember the times, where you held my hands so tight
You told me "baby, it was worth waiting for you"
You were so happy , just to be beside me
Those were the times I'll never forget
People told me, if you really love somebody
You should let go, and along with the memories
But no I just can't, let you go
You're stuck in my head for a long long time

When I say I got over you , I was lying
I was lying.
I was just lying.

Bridge:
Why oh why
Hate after love
it's shoudln't be that way

Love

2010-04-30T12:00:00.011+08:00

You can't force someone to feel someway.
Neither can you force yourself to feel someway about someone.
You can't force someone to love you.
Neither can you force yourself to love someone.
When someone doesn't love you,
you can't do anything about it.
Well, maybe you can do sweet stuff.
But No, it isn't the things you do that matters.
It isn't the things you say.
It isn't the things you feel.
All these things are part and parcel of what you call - a relationship.

It is the fundamental mutual connection between two people who love and accept each others' weaknesses despite of circumstances. This.is.what.makes.it.last.
It's what makes the ride worthwhile.

If you hated someone very bad, it shows you had truly loved that someone.
If you love someone and that someone no longer loves you,
you let go - not because you forget but because you love that someone in the first place.

I never wanted to be complicated. I wanted it all to be simple.

For now, I'll be striving and trying to , live.

If by chance , we reconcile , it'll.be.beautiful.

Scars

2010-04-25T00:18:00.003+08:00

I need a little magic to make it all better.
Forgetting to remember.
Remembering to forget.
Take this battered blood-scarred hands for a wash.
Still the wounds bleed profusely.
The pain starts to sink into the depths of the skin.

The wound that takes time to recover,
leaves the scars behind that stay forever.

Breaking Free

2010-04-24T14:16:00.001+08:00

Breaking Free.
A release that would make it all better.
How would it be?
What would it be?
Nobody knows, nobody cares.
For one thing I'm sure,
it's not gonna be revealed.

A little something

2010-04-23T01:40:00.002+08:00

A little something for you to look at.
A little something for you to laugh at.
A little something for you to smile at.
A little something for you to cry at.
A little something for you to remember.

I haven't been great. Apologies are flooding in my head.
Throughout this time frame, I learnt that it's never easy going against the current.
But if we see the potential and value, we don't let go easily.
We brave through the winds and persevere.
Some say this is bull, some say this is gold.
P.S twosevenzeroeightzeronine

Angel

2010-04-20T17:37:00.001+08:00

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There�s always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it�s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I�ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You�re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There�s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don�t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It�s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You�re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You�re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Why

2010-04-20T00:14:00.002+08:00

Empty, desolate, despondent heart.

Why oh why are you so downcast?

Cheer up , put on a smile.

If it's impossible ,try to fake it.

I tried I tried I really tried.

The hate is what I receive.

I'll take back all the wrong words I said if I could.

I'll never lose that hug again.

But then again, do I even get to see you?

The picture in my drawer lying ,secretly kept.

Goodnight.

Tension

2010-04-17T00:30:00.004+08:00

The moment you are in tension

You will lose your attention

Then you are in total confusion

and you'll feel irritation

This may spoil your personal relation

Ultimately you won't get co-operation

And get things into complication

Then your BP may cause caution

And you may have to take medication

Why not try understanding the situation

And try to think about the solution

Many problems will be solved by discussion

Which will work out better in your profession

Don't think it's my free suggestion

It is only for your prevention

If you understand my intention

You'll never come again into tension!

Nicholas popped over to my house today and we talked for awhile before we headed to Joel's. I had a good swim (more of disturbing wilfred) and a shit-ish dinner. Insect in the egg tofu, FML. Proceeded back to Joel's where I downloaded a Game on my iPhone. I recommend this game as it is free. It's a ONLINE RPG game on an iPhone, Kinda cool-ish. Search for " Pocket Legends " on App Store. Followed by a walk to Macdonalds. I must say the Cinnamon Melts are superlicious delicious. But they're a tad too sweet for me. If you wanna get diabetes , there you have it - Cinnamon Melts. I took Joel's hard disk. Updating my hard disk with new movies! kthxbye.

Just think of it as a beautiful memory residing in my sea of thoughts.

One day , just one day, we'll laugh at it like you said.

False Prophet

2010-04-13T14:06:00.003+08:00

http://www.submission.org/god-bible.html

The Bible was written 500 years before the Quran.

This is the reason why Muslims cannot consume pork.

[ Matthew 8: 28- 34 ]

²⁸When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. ²⁹"What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?"

³⁰Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. ³¹The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."

³²He said to them, "Go!" So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. ³³Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. ³⁴Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.

How long?

2010-04-13T01:03:00.004+08:00

How long will it take me to realize that I am inadequate , weak and selfish?

How long will it take me to realize that I am out of control?

How many times do I have to break your heart before I stop?

How long more do I need to wander aimlessly?

I am sorry Lord for what I've done and what I've been.

Forgive me for I know not what I do.

Take me back to where I belong.

I love you , my Father in heaven.

[ Romans 5:8 ]

⁸But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

They thought this was all stupid.

They laughed and mocked at him.

They spat at him. They disrespected him.

They hated him and his followers.

But this , was what was mentioned.

That many would persecute with no reason,

That many would hate him.

Many would make nasty remarks.

Yet he died for the unworthy.

He loved those who hated him up to today.

His love was unconditional.

He is Jesus.

Forgive them lord, for they know not what they do.

You would never understand if you never tried to.

[ John 15: 18 - 20 ]

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.

The Mask

2010-04-11T15:33:00.000+08:00

Disclaimer: Nothing personal or political. Just a random poem.

The Mask

A glance or peek what do I see?

I try to probe and there you flee.

You hide yourself behind a mask,

In lies and hypocrisy you happily bask.

You think your life is problem-free

An enigma you would always be.

Focus

2010-04-11T02:03:00.002+08:00

Focus on the good, not on the bad.
Take charge, take control.
Brace the storm.
Persevere, don't give up.
Change your perspective.
Take the lead.
Strengthen, Empower , Endure.
Always be thankful.
Last but not least, THINK NOT FEEL.

The hidden tears

2010-04-09T18:53:00.004+08:00

Often at times it seems so saddening
That the hidden tears never stopped flowing
The constant thought of life that's ending
The life he had always thought of throwing
He didn't know why he was still living
He thought that music provided some healing
He tried to strive through the ongoing war
The war he fought and never won before
He needed people to be there for him
The chances of people who actually cared was slim
He wanted be there for people too
He figured it was too good to be true
He met someone who brought him together
Back on feet, he was so eager
He thought in his mind that it was forever
Then he realized - he was a failure.

The thoughts that revolved around him portrayed a melancholic overview of who he was.
He felt so happy being around people. He wished he could be with them forever.
These people come and go , as and when they like.
They didn't understand, no they didn't.
Nobody would , nobody would ever comprehend,
what I am and who I am.
Because frankly , I am not even that sure about me myself.
It's not something lucid or something simple.

I don't like to be complicated when it need not be.
For what you see , is just the happy side of me.

The Guy

2010-04-07T14:52:00.005+08:00

You may hate me. You may despise me. You may judge me. Do all these, and you'll never know me. The outcomes that I expect of various situations keep coming true. No, I don't want these presumptions to be true, but they always do. Humans are a confusing lot. Some people have this mentality " I just hate/don't like this person " with no apparent reason. These are the people who have issues. Don't base your conclusions about somebody on hear-say or rumors or on "What you think you know about the person". Get to know the person first, before hating the person - at the very least. You should know who I'm talking about.

All I want is some space to breathe. Why would you want to choke up all the space there is left for me? Just , let live?

I have so many things to do and I have no idea why I am doing all these things.
All I know for now is that , life's a drag. It's like me dragging my body wherever it needs or has to go.

Lol.

an update

2010-03-30T20:17:00.002+08:00

A song to you.

Haven't been updating this page so I shall do so now. Have been back to school(during holidays!?),yeah, during holidays , to conduct Redhat and Python workshop for budding coursemates. Not much of a workshop though in my opinion. Anyway my ear operation is coming this Thursday. It's an operation on the external part of my right ear. Very very small action. So in conclusion , nothing extraordinary or serious. It's a minor operation. I hope I do not have to go back for dressing as it costs $$ and going back to changi general hospital like a "for loop" is very trouble-serm. kthxbye.

The Lack

2010-03-28T02:21:00.002+08:00

It just takes one mistake to ruin a person's life. I am that person. I never wished for it either but it did happen. A series of events followed. I lost the momentum of living. People didn't understand me and judged horrendously. But , this is reality - no one is to be blamed. Moreover, reality doesn't permit the ease of access of whatever you hope for. People draw conclusions based on the whatever they remember of a person bad or good without understanding him/her in the first place. Would you give that person a chance to live? Would you stop comparing and throw away that superiority/inferiority complex in your mind? Would you let live?

2010-03-19T17:55:00.004+08:00

Looky-looky. Finally, the Audemars Piguet (a.k.a "Goldtop") has arrived! It is a Gold Audemars Piguet Limited Edition 30th Anniversary , City of Sails watch - as stated at the seal on the bottom. Very beautiful watch! Been home whole day, what a rainy spam-sation. The pictures of the rest of my watch collections can be viewed here.

Personally , 4 of the watches in my collections are my favourites.

2010-03-19T00:45:00.002+08:00

Today I went to meet some secondary schoolmates to celebrate a friend's birthday. Went to fullerton hotel's toilet with yuxuan. What a wee-yeard experience. Glares and stares like everybody cares. Went to timbre for a drink and some finger food before heading to 85. Had a full meal. Shiok. kthxbye.

Sun of a Pulau Ubin

2010-03-17T23:33:00.002+08:00

Today I was awoken by some bugger. Apparently I was late for a 930am meet. Well skip the trash talk. We went to pulau ubin and had a whale of a time. What a sunny day. Perhaps too sunny. Sun burnt red skin. Ang moh wannabes in the making. Anyway, it's been a great time cycling with jervois & co. Moreover , I found a stall that sells very nice hokkien mee. It's at changi village. Nope , it's not the one in the middle row(Khong Lok) but it's the one in the same row as the famous "Chicken Chop Hor Fun". Very goooood recommendation by my friend Clemen. A must try. (Y)(Y)(Y)(Y)

Long Day

2010-03-17T01:27:00.005+08:00

Hi. Had a long day today. Went to school at 10 am and did PYCON until 6. The python scripts are no joke. Programming python is no joke. After the tremendous long enduring hours of python scripting , I attended an ISACA meet for a short while before I hastily rushed to Sengkang. I went to Phillip's with the usual people and jiasheng. As always, Phillip sets up the guitars professionally without a hitch. We had a short jamming session which proved to be fun fun fun. I am still expecting my watch to arrive eagerly. Can't wait !

Anyway , The LRT at Sengkang area has a very stupid design of travel routes.

Lastly, a snippet of a part of a python script. Just to show you what it's like.

import os,codecs

PushTelnet = os.system("cat /etc/xinetd.d/krb5-telnet >> test1.txt")

fileObj = codecs.open(r"test1.txt", "r", "utf-8")

u = fileObj.read()

telnetcheck = u[305:320]

rootcheck = os.system("cat /etc/group | grep root:")

Enjoy. kthxbye.

Victims of my String-Raping

2010-03-15T00:55:00.006+08:00

Palmer Deluxe Stratocaster. Made in Miami.

Squier Stratocaster. Place of Manufacture to be questioned.

Kramer Striker Custom Floyd Rose 424CM.

MIJ 1993 Fender Stratocaster. Modified Pickups.

MIJ 1982 Greco Les Paul.

Musicman OLP. Dimarzio Pickups.

Just thought of doing a random post of the axes that I had with me since the first time I started out. These gears are very memorable as they brought a lot of skills to me. The latest one here is a Musicman OLP equipped with Dimarzio Pickups. The pickups are really screamy. So much gain till it lets out a fat boy tone.

The "Goldtop" Watch

2010-03-13T14:13:00.003+08:00

18th Birthday.

As you can tell, I'm a Goldtop Fan. Regardless of whether it is a watch , a guitar , a phone etc.
Apparently my father bought me this Audemars Piquet Royal Oak Series Watch via a website overseas. This is a very nice watch and I really like it a lot. Can't wait for it to arrive.

P.S I'll be doing a collage of the watches I have and posting them here and on facebook.

Have a good day readers !

18th Birthday

2010-03-13T03:00:00.002+08:00

On my 17th birthday. Somebody called me and wished me. That somebody didn't call me this year( or for years to come). Wellz. Anyways, I had an ordinary day today. Ate lunch at Sakae Sushi with my classmates as a bday celebration and had a Swensenful Dinner. Watched "Kidnapper". Not a good movie as compared to "Being Human".

Satisfied

2010-03-11T00:53:00.002+08:00

Today's a very good day. I gotta chillz at starbucks and collected my guitar from Phillip. I must admit that he is very professional and dedicated to what is given to him. I must , without hesitation, commend on his workmanship. A very professional craftsman and metalman. (He knows his woods and metals). Overall, I am elated and more than satisfied to have let this luthier bring my guitar (Musicman OLP) to a whole new level. Kudos to you Phillip ! Guitar Guru of the year(s).

Shark Effects Warzy Drive Test Run

2010-03-10T13:46:00.001+08:00

Howdy. This is the new Shark Effects Warzy Drive.
One pedal I would not get rid off my pedalboard for a long long time.
Enjoy!

P.S * Sorry for the shorts and sloppy playing. Just woke up.

Musicman OLP(Red)

2010-03-07T00:43:00.003+08:00

Traded my Greco Les Paul for a Musicman OLP (Red) equipped with Dimarzios.
Bought a Shark Effects Warzy Drive Distortion Pedal.
Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Next up a delay pedal because my digitech digidelay passed away at 1:00 AM on this day. @#$$%^&^*&^%$$%^(*&&%$%@$#@.

Anyway, just an update of what I've been up to lately....

Nothing.
The preposterous yamaha dudes didn't call me. I wanted to work there part time during this holiday season but damn they missed out on a great potential employee. Again , (*&&^%%$##$@#$@^*(&. kthxbye.

P.S I'm still having reminiscences of you. of us.

Thanks.

If I had the money...

2010-03-02T01:19:00.004+08:00

I would get the appropriate guitar pedals and a decent Guitar. I really need these stuffs to make every note I hit audible. Or perhaps I should just sell it all away and give up this hobby of mine. I feel so pissed off not being able to have the financial ability to fund for my hobby. But to me, it's more than a hobby - that is why I do not give up. It's more than just having fun. It's more than just mere music. It's the one thing I can escape to. It's the one place I can feel so comfortable. Only true musicians would understand what I'm saying. It doesn't matter what music is played. As long as it's music, it's a form of expression that is being portrayed to an audience. There is no such thing as satanic music or evil music. It's just music. The only component that is satanic is the lyrics of the music and I'm glad I don't play any music with satanic lyrics. The music I play does not contain satanic references of any sort. It just contains the composer's thoughts or ideas that he/she wants to bring across to the people. I hate the fact that even though money is not everything, without money you are nothing. Money is a restrictive but ,yet at the same time, a liberating experience. I hate money and what it has done to many.

Guitar Repairs/Mods

2010-02-06T09:41:00.003+08:00

Hi viewers/readers. I really need to share this. With the rise of youths taking up musical instruments (guitars being the most lost), guitar shops that offer repair take advantage of these youths. For example, I sent my digitech digidelay to Guitar77 and asked them if they could fix my switch problem. I left it with them and after about a week they told me they could not fix it. From past experiences with repairs from G77, if it really had to be repaired it would cost $60 - $70. When I passed the pedal to my father, he rectified the problem in 5 minutes.

One more example:
http://theguitarjunkie.webs.com/apps/blog/entries/show/2595036-installing-pickups-into-a-hollow-bodied-guitar

But then again, you can't put the blame on these shops because business is business and non-profit deals are just out of the question rationally thinking.

Lost

2010-01-31T02:38:00.002+08:00

Lost in inadequacy. Nothing more than just an enigma lurking. Feel like giving it all up just when things start to get better.

Music

2010-01-30T00:50:00.000+08:00

Studying for my Music CDS Common Test tomorrow. I hope I get rather good grades for it. This semester is coming to an end. Soon many things would change, people leaving, new people coming in. I guess, I'm just gonna say that I miss certain people but life goes on. Take care.

Excellence

2010-01-28T23:18:00.004+08:00

Just to share this quote.

Who aims at excellence will be above mediocrity; who aims at mediocrity will be far short of it.
Burmese Saying

We are not people of inadequacy. We don't settle for medicore average-ish accomplishments. In everything we do, do it to the best of our ability. In this perspective comes greater achievements. Otherwise, don't do it.

Procrastinate Some More , Lah.

2010-01-28T00:18:00.000+08:00

Busy week. Assignments due. Presentations. Still dare to procrastinate. Dammit I'm freaking lazy.

It's been awhile since I saw you. You'd probably never see this post but in whatever you do, be wise and tactful. Decide for yourself. Most importantly, don't change for the worst and let stupid things happen. Don't give in easily, but don't be too hard on things either. I'll always be here to help in any way I can.

Long Story Cut Short : Cherish

2010-01-22T17:45:00.002+08:00

Don't ignore this wall-of-text. Read it.

Headed to T1, Tampines Mall then Century Square today. Scavenged stuff and looked around. Whilst waiting for the lift, me and my 2 other classmates decided to sit down at one of the comfy cushioned seats near the century square lifts. Innocent Brendon took out his wallet and placed it on the seat as it was uncomfortable sitting with a wallet below your butt. The lift beckoned innocent Brendon like a treacherous cunning plan. Innocent Brendon went into the lift and , you guessed it, he totally forgot his wallet and he still wasn't aware of it. When innocent Brendon went to the basement of Century Square to get something to eat, he realized that his wallet wasn't in his pocket. Innocent Brendon was flustered , panicky and at the loss of what to do. At that point of time, innocent Brendon felt totally weak and feeble. The feeling of not being able to do anything about a particular matter, which I'm sure many could identify with, makes you feel useless and lousy. However, despite all the flustering, piss-off-ing, panicking and whatnot, innocent brendon headed to the Customer Service on Level 2 at Century Square. AFTER ALL, he wasn't dumb and his sanity was preserved for a better cause. When innocent Brendon approached the Customer Service Counter, the Customer Service Assistant asked " Lost wallet? ". You could imagine the face on innocent Brendon's face - EPIC. Then innocent Brendon got back his wallet. Lucky enough, innocent Brendon only lost around $30. Although the guy returned the wallet, he took the money. Boy, little did the kind ass-soul know the price of the wallet - well LUCKY for innocent Brendon , that kind dude did not take the wallet. The wallet costed $150. On top of that, innocent Brendon had deposited $200 into his bank account an hour before he lost his wallet. If the person hadn't return the wallet and Brendon hadn't deposit his $200 into the bank, the total asset loss value would be $380. Innocent brendon texted to the guy who returned the wallet " Thanks for returning the wallet ".

2 Elementary-Level Values we must learn:
1) Never put too much money into your wallet.
2) Always be aware of your belongings.

Amidst all that emotional roller-coaster-ing. I learned a very important lesson. As cliche as this may sound to many of you:

Cherish the people around you. Treasure the things that you have. Because some things when lost, can never be recovered. Treat every single day as if it was the last.

Argh I want that Epiphone

2010-01-19T22:13:00.002+08:00

Really want an Epiphone Goldtop Les Paul with Good pickups don matter what year produced. Looking to sell my fender, interested = CALL/SMS/EMAIL ME.
As long as it retains the shine like this buddy over here.

And at the same time , a Maestro SD-1 costing $200-$300.

iPhone-ing

2010-01-18T23:54:00.002+08:00

Not an iPhone Noob LIAO.
Plenty of Apps on my iPhone. Jailbreaked it and flooded it with custom applications. It feels scary but in actual fact, it's just the mentality.
Will mention Some Apps:
eBuddy
QuickOffice
Installous
Cydia
Winterboard

and more..

Great Day

2010-01-14T23:37:00.003+08:00

Was sick the entire day. Didn't felt good blowing my nose constantly. Annoying the people all around me didn't make it all better. With the OOPG assignment, it did a great job in "rubbing salt onto my wounds". However, got my new phone - Iphone 3GS. If you're a brendon-blog-reader, you would have notice that not long ago , I blogged about my father getting me an OMNIA phone. Well, from this post, you can see how good my father is to me. And I need to start honouring him and not be a tough nut to crack. Anyway Rock Avenue would be having our second gig very soon. Stay tune to this blog if you haven't already done so. Just a brief Synopsis of what our band is like in a few words: Skid Row, Glam Rock, Poison, Motley Crue, Awesome Vocalist - Maan Rosewood.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Rock Avenue's Second GIG !??

2010-01-12T00:22:00.003+08:00

Rock Avenue's First Gig at Singapore Polytechnic was great. Though limited crowd , due to the fact that modern day teens listen to crap music, it was still a great gig. People who clapped and watched, kudos to you for being a part of our gig. Rock Avenue's Second Gig would be up soon. Details would be posted on our myspace and on this blog.

Only I know who am I. Nobody can have the depth of understanding. Because, people judge horrendously. It seems the best friend I have is myself. One choice, one decision that would make it seem easier. Again, making that choice is a tall order.

Tenacity

2010-01-03T18:50:00.004+08:00

Ignorance. A way of communication.
I should never display as of such inadequacy, not running away from things but facing them.
Nobody owes anyone a living. Have the tenacity to stand up, stand tall and not back down.
Despite how much anyone say they don't judge you, truth is, they do and they're very superficial about it. We do not live for anyone in this earth, except maybe the ones who brought us in.

New Year 2010

2010-01-01T20:32:00.005+08:00

2009 Last day:
Went to ECP's beach hut for a san miguel draft and some non-price-friendly snacks with my coursemates. Bout an hour later, we went to hit some balls with sticks. Then some of us went home while the remaining owls headed to coffeebean and chilled there. Very ordinary, but it's the time spent that counts.

2010:
It's a brand new year with lots of things in store for me.
My new year's resolution is kept within the walls of my brain.
I hope this would be a great year for my friends too, all of you, and you too especially.

Do check my band's( Rock Avenue ) myspace. Some demo tracks have been uploaded.

Not forgetting my new SOLO SINGLE : Signs

Because the world doesn't give a shit about you

2009-12-29T21:44:00.002+08:00

We strive hard to get what we want.
We pick ourselves when we fall.
Society's not to blame.
Don't depend on anyone else other than yourself.
Be courageous , determined, not succumbing to giving up easily.
Make good friends, don't let your good friends go away.
Superficial friends are those who don't give a damn about what happens to you.
Real friends are the ones who stand by you.

True friendship is perhaps the only relation that survives the trials and tribulations of time and remains unconditional. A unique blend of affection, loyalty, love, respect, trust and loads of fun is perhaps what describes the true meaning of friendship. Similar interests, mutual respect and strong attachment with each other are what friends share between each other. These are just the general traits of a friendship. To experience what is friendship, one must have true friends, who are indeed rare treasure.

Talent

2009-12-27T20:33:00.000+08:00

Easily pass off as the kind of performance that blows people off.
