An update....

Hello all, i believe its been a while since i have updated my blog. Many are perhaps wondering if i have passed on (although i highly doubt it). The reason y i have not updated my blog is because i am getting bored of it. I dunno what else to say. The other reason is... Xiaolin is now here with me. No time to update the blog now liao... heh heh.. but i'll soon be posting pictures of our adventures outside boston... and in the surrounding parts of the country!

My Special Angel - Ger

This is a song i have searched for a very very very long time... the first song i ever performed on stage in secondary school!



My Special Angel - Ger

Took for granted of those days
Thinking nothin' gonna happen in my way
Know I'm wrong and I regret
For the things I did and things I've said
Come back to my life once more
So my aching heart won't hurt no more

You're my special angel, show me the way
It's just that there is no one who can
Ever take your place
So bring me back the days before
There is so many things
You have to learn from us all

I questioned why you left that day
Didn't say goodbye and left your way
A wave is only what you gave
The image will never fade away
I memorized the things you've said
And I'll carry it on until I'm dead

You're my special angel
Show me the way
Those children needs your lovin'
In each and every way
All I want is only you
Take me now take me far away

Tears before my eyes
Hangin' on forever
Shattered dreams go broken
In all through their lives
Words you always said before
Tell me now that you'll leave no more

You're my special angel
Show me the way
It's just that there is no one who can
Ever take your place
Words you always said before
Tell me now, that you'll leave no more

Cause I know that you're the one
i'm waiting for...

An Update...

Hello there you all. not sure how many follow, but its been a while since i've updated this here blog. Its fast approaching the end of the semester. How many more weeks? hmm.. maybe 4? Things have been moving along soo fast.. i've barely had time to catch my breath. The last time i wrote, i said i was beginning to find players for my Live to 2. Now that's done, my soundalike is complete, tho it sounds nothing like the original.. and now into the final project the jingle. Along the way i've made friends.. yeah.. but its been really busy... especially with all the movies that are coming out in the cinemas now.. i really dun have time to go watch them! I dun even know what else to write.. so i'll just keep on talking crap. My wife pointed me to a website recently. Some of the pictures there made me laugh so hard i was tearing. Thought i'd share this with you guys. Enough for now i guess... Til the next time...

Mahna Mahna

Something my dear wife found on Youtube. The mahna mahna song!

Download Firefox Day 2008

Help set a new world record by downloading Firefox 3 when it comes out! I realise this is totally random and useless, but you know, i like to do useless and random things...

17th JUNE Firefox DownloAD DAY

The Shape of things to come

As i sit down to write this blog entry, i realise it has been a while since it has been updated. It is increasingly harder to keep this space updated, mostly because i'm not sure if anyone reads it. Any how, lets just devote a few minutes to write something. Its summer 2008 now, and i am still in school. Taking summer lessons. Cramming 16 weeks worth of work into 12 weeks is no mean feat, as i am beginning to realise. Many projects begin right off the bat, with no time to slack around til like week 4 or 5 to really begin studying. Right now is a mad dash to find pple for my live to 2 recording. after that, soundalike, then after that jingle. Then i will be done for the summer. Then there are lessons like art history, music history, conducting! things i will learn and forget once i am done with school. I'm even taking japanese lessons!
Stress...

I guess i am beginning to find out that no man can be an island. With so many projects due, you do need a fresh flow of musicians to play for your various projects. I am beginning to make friends, to find pple to record, maybe a few bands here and there. At least for this semester, people i know have stepped into my life once again after being absent for like a year or 2. So its not so bad. Also, i guess i am learning to rely on others as well as having others rely on me.

I do not know how the next few semesters are going to be, but i just have to trust in God, to believe that He has a plan for me.

The greatest gadget in the world!

Thought i should share this..
World's Most useless box. Essentially, it is a box with a switch. If you flip the switch on, well, i guess you should see the video..
Have fun!

The iphone

Some people are afraid of technology, afraid that something they do will spoil whatever they are holding. I guess i've done my fair share of breaking technology. I've taken apart many things, most of the time i can't put it back together. But i guess this is where i got my wonder of technology, if you can put it that way. I was always curious about how things worked. Maybe its a guy thing. Now i have quite a few gadgets around me. I was one of the first people to own an ipod, getting my first one when they only had 5 and 10Gb versions.. A PSP, just to fulfil that need of a gaming machine to play with.. it has been with me through many adventures in the bathroom... heh heh..

But now the coolest gadget in the world is the.... iPhone. That one device that sooo many people would love to get their hands on, even paying top dollar for someone to import it to a country that Apple has not released the iPhone to. Tens of thousands of pple around the world own an iPhone, regardless whether it is official, or unofficial..

But me.. poor old me.. i dun get to get one. My Darling wife has mandated that i cannot buy one. And at 500US dollars, i can't blame her... tsk tsk.. It is too expensive, plus, it makes it impossible for you to be away from the internet for long. You can surf the web, talk on the phone, listen to music, all sorts of cool stuff. But as the force beyond my control continually says when i ask, " Do you really need to be so connected?" It is the gear lust! The gear lust has got me! But i realise she is right. Do i really want to be so connected? That you're only an email away? a text message? Its funny that the world is getting more connected, but people are getting more distant from each other. Email, SMSes have replaced the phone call. Even the way frens are made have changed. With Facebook, mySpace.. so happy when you have an friend approval from Facebook. But i digress.

Do i really want an iphone?? You betcha.. But what would i use it for? Nothing.. maybe make an occasional phone call.. the ever so rare text message. I just want one to play with, to say Nah! i have one! To upload my collection of videos so i can watch on the move... To add one to my collection of toys, of which there are never enough. Now, its gadgets.. tens years down the line. Cars?? Then Boats? or even planes? I wonder how many pple are even reading this! hahahahaha..

Anyway. , to end off, heres a clip from one of my favourite comedians/comediennes.. Eddie Izzard about Technojoy! Enjoy...

Two pretty interesting videos i found online..

Only the japanese could come up with something like this...

In Christ Alone

Been listening to this song over and over again, i dunno y. its very uplifting. Been in a down point with my walk in Christ. I mean really down, even to the point that i think i am backsliding. But this song just reminds me to put all my hope in Christ alone. Enjoy!



In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

I'm not dead Yet...

To all who are following this blog (of which there are like 5 of you, maybe even less.) Just wanted to say that i'm not dead yet.. this blog is not dead yet. i think.. I've just been suffering from a lack of motivation recently about updating and honestly, not sure about what to put up here anyway.. Do i tell you my deepest thoughts and worries? My skewed viewpoint of the world? My daily mundane unexciting life? If there's anyone here reading, do drop me a comment or leave a message! Do tell me what you wanna see put up in this space, and i'll try my best to accommodate you.
On a side note.... have anyone of you ever suffered from the effects of favoritism? Have your parents, teachers or anyone ever chose some one over you just because they are better liked? Do send me your comments. Personally, i think i'm on the recieving side of the favoritism thingy.. But i digress. so.. Lemme know what you think!

Weijie/Morris/Pillay/I dunno what......

Wandering through the vast expanse that is the world wide web, i have come across the world's cutest hamster. I have no idea what a hamster is doing on my blog, but i thought i should share it with you guys.. Have fun!

Picture of the Day!

Picture taken while Xiaolin was here with me in Boston! I miss her.. :(

Was kinda too weirdly sized to fit as title pic, so had to take it down, put here instead! Enjoy.. Heh heh... I've put up a new template! dunno how it looks like on your screen, so do comment. See ya!

Picture of the Day...

My latest acquisitions.. Hee hee.. A Kettle and a mug.. Cool right? I like the mug... They shall now serve me! I am their master! muahahaha.. Hmm...

I need to get out more...

Interesting Website..

Stumbled upon this very creative albeit time consuming website on bible stories protrayed with Lego Bricks while reminiscing on one of my childhood toys - LEGO Bricks. Oh the many times i had fun with them, the stories i told myself, the creations i spent oh so much time building...

Anyway, here it is..


The Brick Testament

Enjoy...

The Eraser/Rubber

My mom used to cut a big piece of eraser with a knife into 3 smaller pieces for me to bring one to school, either because we were poorer back then or because i was just plain forgetful and would misplace it time after time. I have lost pencils, pens, cell phones, keys, wallets, IDs and lots of other things. Plain ol forgetful me.
Recently i've been thinking about my childhood, as a result, i've been trying to find all the cartoons i watched as a kid back in the 80s.. MASK, Transformers, Sliverhawks, Centurions and the like. Heh heh.

------------------------------

Anyway, its the New Year! GOOD OL 2007 has just passed me by, and i guess i should look forward to 2008. Well, its been quite a while since i've updated this here blog. I shall update you, my dear audience as best as i can. hee hee..

Xiaolin did come and visit me from 29th Nov til 24 Dec (Christmas Eve!) We had great fun, even though my finals were just around the corner, it was great having someone around to come home to, to share your day with, at least in the same time zone, We tried our hand at cooking! Well, actually Xiaolin did all the work, i just gave arm power: Mix this, stir that, put that back, i can't reach and stuff. We even found time to go to nearby Providence where we attempted to ice skate. Note to self: Learn to roller blade first. It was an hour from Boston by train, so it wasn't that bad. Getting there, the shopping was exactly the same as boston's.. Not much difference there. Sadly she had to leave on Christmas's eve, so i found myself spending christmas all sad and moody. (well, actually i spent most of christmas in bed sleeping.) So fast forward to now, the first days of 08, in between semesters. I guess this is the time for resolutions?

My Resolutions:
1) Try and keep this here blog updated to the best of my ability
2) Try to lose some weight.. heh heh..
3) Try and save up money to buy myself a nice christmas present!

Notice the "try" in front of al the abovementioned resolutions.. Heh heh.. My crossed fingers, my backdoor.. Muahahaha!

Those of you closer to home, if you can.. fly home for chinese new year! hee hee.. Some will actually want to fly away for CNY, but i guess this is just me being sorta homesick. Heh heh... Sponsor me a plane ticket anyone? Tee hee hee..

Well, guess its all this for now, my latest regurgitation of the things i've done.
so til the next time, Cheerio!
