okayyyy. im here cus ive got nothing better to do and the weather just makes me feel like blogging mid-workout.


went out with Joseph Barnabas Chris JKoh and Taisan yesterday to watch Enchanted. it was pretty interesting i have to say...the disney dudes still have some nice ideas left. wasted money at the arcade...then walked around. went back to Josephs house with Barnabas and Chris and ended up staying over. sat in the attic and talked for one piece for like an hour plus telling them the storyline. Chris went home later. hes a really cool guy...nice too.

im so sad.

woke up at 7 with Joseph and talked about stuff until 10. breakfast, marvelalliance, then home.


went to the dentist. before i left my dad went nuts on me cus i didnt wanna bring an unbrella. stupid.

in one month plus i shall have my braces off!!! the ordeals nearly over. no more pokey things inside my mouth!! no more not being able to eat fruits!! no more spending 5 minutes a day brushing my teeth!!

lifes good.


okayyy i rarely do this...but please listen to todays song!!! even though its 6 minutes plus. its got a really nice feel. and a really nice message.


If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
and to the day

To let it go
and so to fade away
To let it go
and so fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping

If you should ask, then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation

Let it go
and so to fade away
To let it go
and so to fade away
To let it go
and so to fade away
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping

Bad
U2
The Unforgettable Fire

ive got no idea why its called Bad...maybe its like describing Bono in the song before his supposed change.

U2 performed this song in Live 8...or Aid...i forget which one. it was one of those legendary performances where it gets remembered as a great moment in musical history.

anyway during the performance in the bridge Bono starts pointing and waving to the crowd...and leaps down from the stage and hugs this girl thats infront of the crowd. or thats what you see anyway. according to U2s biography he notices the girls getting crushed by the sheer weight of the crowd pressing forward against the boundaries cus theyre so hyped by the song,

now thats a performance to die for. heh heh.


week 4...or 5...of holidays. and a month of activity comes to an end.




...or so it seemed. but it was not to be.





JVBC was pretty fun. the whole experience of just taking care of someone else besides myself was pretty liberating. it kinda gives you a whole new perspective to people in general...and how things you could conceive to be so complicated as one with a mature mindset may be so much simpler though the eyes of a child.



which kinda leaves you to wonder why a mature mindset is named as such, since its self-proclaimed superiority does little more than unnecessarily intricate the unintricate.





okayyy that was random.





anyway yeahhh it was cool. i had nice kids...or so it seemed. kids are cute as a method of self-defense...defense against the urge people might develop to get mad at them when they dont listen to you. you just cant shout at a cute kid. and most kids are cute. yeahhh.


















Gracia. the cutest girl ive even seen. seriously.


it was tiring and all...but definately really rewarding. kids going around holding your hand and making friends with you and each other. and them hugging you and crying when its time to leave. its really heartwarming.

but its kitchen for me next year


went for choir dinner on saturday after camp ended. nice place in suntec with open roof and all. did You Raise Me Up and Raindropskeepfallingonmyhead. failure. heh heh. but it was cool. and then Reno and i went mad with the tobasco.

it wasnt as heartbreaking as i wouldve anticipated to see my seniors leave...but it was definately sad when i realised id never see some of them again. all in all theyve been great leaders...and role models. both in vocal methods and character.

to all you guys...a big thank you for all that youve done for the choir!!!


went today with Evan and Darius and Daniel and aunty Mabel to get bass guitar stuff. walked into a shop where Dream Theater were God. Evan bought his bass effects pedal...pretty cool stuff. walked lots more into lots more shops until we arrived somewhere near the national library where Darius bought his bass and stuff. took really long so Evan and i sat around. then i found the Neil Zaza cd and told Jeremy. then Junyi came and got it. so cute. haha.

went for macs after that and then went back to Darius' house to try the effects pedal. sweet. and we discovered Evans like a closet pro. he plays DT after a month of learning off youtube. how cool is that.

i took 2 years just to learn head voice. sighhh.



going with Joseph and JKoh tomorrow to watch a movie. whichever one. but im dead broke :S



and i feel really torn. and mean. guide me, Lord.

or forgive me.

week...uhhh...3 or 4 of the holidays.

holidays have been kinda unproductive. though i spend a few days a week at school for choir/crashing someone elses house. its kinda good to know i still have a life after school.



street soccer on sunday. went after worship and missed the first bus 10 so sat there with Damien Samuel Evan and uncle Jimmy waiting real long for the next bus and talking about Heroes. wish i had cable so i could watch season 2. got to the court, played for about 10+ minutes, and then Zachary came. and then Brandon Joel MarcusLim Darius and Evan had to go, so i played with uncle Jimmy against Samuel and Zachary. discovered i wasnt as pathetic at soccer as i thought i was.

still pathetic, but to a smaller degree.

anyway it was pretty fun. went back to church and sat around doing stuff. went with Evan to coldstorage to buy 6 cup noodles...Zachary actually ate 2 O.o

i felt like puking after one cup.

anyway church on Sunday felt a little different. in a good way, i guess. for most of this entire year i came to church for fun...for friends. but i never realised that i began to overlook the main purpose i should have been attending church for...God. and i had begun to stray from Him lots...letting many aspects of myself that id tried to lock away come out again.

its time to recommit myself to Him.



went to school on Monday for rehearsal. You Raise Me Ups an easy song. crashed Chengliangs house after that. watched criminal minds until my head hurt so bad all i could do was stare at the tv. watched Stardust for the second time. love the show...even though the ending was kinda bad.



and now i spend my existance watching onetreehill. yeahhh...just like last year. still addictive. and thanks to Zachary and his workout tips i have spent 3 weeks effectively working out. and it works!! its kinda like waking up really early, i guess...you really dont wanna start it but once you do its fine. kinda fun actually.



JVBC tomorrow. and this time im not a kitchen boy =) hope things go cool...all in accordance to God's will.


got the Angels & Airwaves album from Jeremy...who just came back from his 2 week escapade in America. its got pretty cool tracks.

I will run the streets and hostile lands
I will touch the rain with all I have
I will breathe the air, just scream it loud
My feet will never touch the ground
Because the days they feel like ancient clocks
Like when kids grow up and learn to walk
Because your life is full of pure desire
A place so gloriously wired

Do you see the hills beneath the clouds?
The stars and trails to lead you out
Can you sense the pain - It's everywhere
And if you try you'll never care
And the love you had when you were young
Is right outside for all to come
Because your life is full of pure desire
A life so gloriously wired

The lights and sounds
Oh God, this is such a mess
And it's like our world
But we're the last ones left
And the hair, it stands
On the back of our necks
And I swear it shows
Heaven must be just like this

If you see the light break through the clouds
And fire up the distant towns
Now the world will be begin
Exactly how it ends
When you call for help when you are lost
For evermore or whatever it costs
And the world will begin
Exactly how it ends

Please stay
Don't go
I've got you now
Are you curious?
Please stay

Heaven
Angels & Airwaves
I-Empire

longer than most of the songs i put up here...but its cool. the title shows exactly what i feel when i hear it. totally U2-meets-punk.

albumart looks like it came outta Star Wars

i posted something really bad here last time. yeahhh...so its come down. thats over with anyway.


practised You Raise Me Up for seniors dinner yesterday...its a pretty cool song. just kinda simple...

...and still after 4 hours we got nowhere.

well itll be better than last times seniors dinner. it was indescribable...More than Words.


went for the Ms Lim competition today. got to school at 7, got to hwa chong at 8, performed at 9.45, sat and watched other people perform until 11.30, sat and listened to comments...in chinese...for another half hour. then gleefully left.


and now i crave something heavy. like Metallica or something...except the album i wanted to get had questionable material.

its like giving in to your dark side. again.



week 3 of the holidays.

woahh. its already been more than half a month...and it seemed so fast.



this blogs been a little dead lately...yeahhh. lots of stuff, no time. sorry. especially yesterday.



went with Amadeus to distribute fliers for his dads diabetes talk yesterday. walked around carrying huge heavy sack of fliers. stuffed fliers into mailboxes. more than 3 hours, less than 250 given out. i cant believe the amount of people who lock their mailboxes in bedok. its like for every block there are around 15 people with open mail-slots.

we went all over bedok south and then to tanah merah...and then to the mrts. that job drives people nuts. anyway we ended up in simei...where no one locks their mailboxes!!!

yeahhh. the land of milk and honey. my first job was a heck of an experience. never again will i refuse fliers that people try to give me. you dont know how hard it is.

anyway i need another job to ensure ill have enough money to survive the next month or so. yeahh. and since Kenneth just got fired from his bakery job imma go follow him to his next one. and hope we dont get fired before i earn enough money for those sennheiser sports earphones.


went last night to the LINKIN PARK concert!!!



went to Evans house before that for dinner...then went to indoor stadium. rushed like mad for an LP tshirt...i got the last one!!!! ahahahaha.



found our seats. high up on the balcony. waaay high up. but the view wasnt that bad...i could actually see the band pretty well. sat there for an hour listening to stupid music - stupid minus that one MJ song - and watching people come in. never go early for a rock concert.

and then it started. it was sooo totally awesome. just hearing them onstage felt so unreal. for awhile i couldnt believe those dudes jumping up and down on a stage infront of me were Chester and Mike. halfway through Chester came down to the crowd.

Chester: man you guys are ****ing ruthless. tried to steal my jewellery. well its worthless now cus you broke it!! next time i go down there im gonna punch someone in the face.

Mike: if i go down there will you punch me?

Chester: yeahh.

they played around 10+ songs...and there was a little of FM in there. and they did 3 encores. haha.

theyre seriously good. i used to think theyd collapse live...and when i watched the live earth vids i pretty much believed it. but last night changed my entire opinion of them.

yeahhh. after all these years and changing musical tastes...theyre still my favourite band.


anyway, i bought their live CD!!! yeahhh...come december 21st imma download the entire concert from their website. and it was a hell of a concert. that $15CDs gonna be the most worth it album id have ever bought.



now...a song...by them. yeahhh.

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate

There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take

So I
I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you
You will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone

There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take

So I
I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you
You will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie

In Pieces
Linkin Park
Minutes to Midnight
