Free day!

Most beautiful story I have ever seen! The way that Dad and Mum dealt with their situation and despite the reality of their son, they quoted Job 1. Truly encouraging and faith-imparting. God bless the Mooney family :)!

So today was supposed to be Bourne Ultimatum day, but sorry Ian after that nap and with gym in the morning, my muscles seemed to be falling apart. I was feeling like a jellyfish... So I decided just to nap and rest again. Then washed up and went around to clean the house. I had 2 packets of chips and 7Up for lunch. How awesome! -__-! Now waiting pretty much hopelessly for dinner...

I was watching MTV Amplified (probably the only thing I watch on MTV) and I'm dreaming a life of a full-time musician:

- Have a band of my own

- Have a van of our own

- Have tours of our own

- Have fans of our own

- Have professional equipments of our own

- Have albums of our own

Well but the reality is, I won't probably be one. I mean to the extent of being full-time. I don't know. May be to the latter part of my life when I retire of my future job being in business venture, then may be become someone who can help in Worship Ministry and make myself useful in guitaring. But certainly still guitar will always be my favourite hobby ever :) Something that I have never got bored of, thank God

I miss those days with Forty Days.

- 1st started with the name 'Good Soup'. Our 1st competition was pretty much inexperienced when I remember still I was shaking on stage and tried to act cool. Stayed up over night to write our very 1st song 'There'

- Went crazy in TPJC gig

- After reforming of the group and with the definitely better name Forty Days. Another competition when we were so excited we got into the Final. And how LOUSY we felt after that sound check. Was totally humiliating... But managed to pull off with the last performance. Wrong song still. Went home empty handed but full of good memories and great bonding time

- Best gig ever was during Chrismas@Katong when we were commented good as a band, but nah-nah for the vocals. Yes, indeed not strong vocal (but partly blame the sound system ok :p). Always lessons to learn

- Endless time dreaming to make it big in music industry. Plans of coming out EP and albums. Which 'till now not a single one except a few 'try-outs'

- Looking forward to that next plan of recording few proper songs together for Generations

- May God lead Forty Days :D

And I have a piece of news from my aunty yesterday. I'm gonna have the house for myself next week for a few days!

Good: havoc time with friend-stay-overs! Time to learn how to live on my own

Bad: I will have to take care of those dogs (aka monsters). Feed them. Clean their mess. The thoughts of doing that make me wanna run away... And I will get paid 10 bucks for doing all that. Worth it or not I don't really care... :P God bless me!

I will be going back VN tomorrow night for a few days. Time to visit my grandmother, tailor a formal suite, hunt for Banana Republic and Pony Shoes factory in VN, buy DVDs/PC games, feed myself like a pig, sign something for Mom and quarrel funnily with my crazy Sis :)

'till next time!

END OF ALL PROJECTS!!!!

And THAT IS IT! NO MORE PROJECTS+REPORTS+PRESENTATIONS! Now can get my head in exams :) :) :)

Well this morning I woke up and to my horror, I couldn't find my formal pants for today's presentation. Thank God it was in my auntie's wardrobe

Oral Presentation wasn't that bad. I was stammering, mispronouncing, shaking, and speaking at breakneck speed. But still the teacher put up a smile and said wasn't that bad. I don't know how I scored. Results won't be mentioned so soon (or by right tomorrow). SO WE WILL HAVE A DAY OFF TOMORROW! NO SCHOOL! WEEZ!!! And I'm happy with my coursework grade so far:

CSA: A
BA1: A
POM: B+

Comm skill and Econ I would expect at least B :) Glory to God still!

Then I reached home and the usual. All the house work blah blah. And I have the feeling I'm bringing joy to the dogs by serving them and cleaning their 'mess' instead of them being a joy in my life! I think God is teaching me how to love those dogs, or can I say MONSTERS?! Gah...

Maggie mee AGAIN! I miss my maid...

I happened to find some of my old CDs. SO HAPPY! Some of them were like from 3 years ago stuffs.... And RIPPING TIME! Into my computer. Haha. Some are like classic albums. MORE MUSIC TO MY EARS!

And I seriously want a new guitar. Christmas is coming, it will sure be on my wishlist if Santa Claus ever exists

Ok that's all. Nam's out...

END OF ALL PROJECTS!!!!

(Pastor Mike's wheelchair being tucked aside)



*I shouldn't be thinking too much at times...*

Guitaring is my passion :)

MAN! 2 hours passed by and guess what I did? WAS SLAMMING ON MY GUITAR STRAIGHT! It's like that. Once I get it started, I just can't stop...! Reminded me back to my older days when I first started (those lower secondary life when now you realise that you really didn't have anything much to do!), when I was able to practice hours everyday. And today is such such a happy day when I could do it again!! Although 2 hours were nothing compared like last time, but oh wells. I'm supposed to rehearse for my OP tomorrow and rest. My body is like heating up inside for no reason. Doesn't bother me much, JJ Liang Teh rocks :)

And now how I wish I can have a Telecaster with single coil :(

Oh, and I realise. I think I'm getting old :x. I mean it's taking way much more time to learn a new song compared to last time....... Is this bad?! I don't know... But well I still enjoy sitting down, plugging my iPod into my ears and try to decipher whatever chords used in whatever song. And when stuck ultimate-guitar come to the rescue with the pro's helps

And I LOVE MY GUITAR! (I miss my rig...)

The Calling feat Carlos Santana - Why Don't You and I

My favourite song for now! Just happened to have the tune in my head

Ok, that's all. I'm in school tutorial now :)

And he got saved :D

What a great day! As usual, SUNDAYS ROCK MY SOCKS!!!

CONGRATS BRUDDER! I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER EVER REGRET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TODAY!!!! :) I will always behind ya :) *Jeremiah 29:11*

Ok there are two crazes that got into me recently

1. NORAH JONES! Don't you think she's just SO HOT?! Jazz, piano, killer-voice... Hurr hurr hurr. I'm in love and that's thanks to Suffian for introducing me to her! HAHA. Sounds like as if I know her in person. But still I really really really really really enjoy her music SO MUCH. Her voice mesmerized me................ This reminds me something, I used to want a wife that can sing. HAHA. Ok never mind that's kinda random

2. SWIMMING! I've been making plans like to swim everyday. HAHA. Better live healthier you know. Been enjoying swimming for the past days. Again, I love this place!

I'm compromising myself whether I should go prepare my coming OP now. I have no mood at all man. This subject is bleahhhhh. Ok will force myself to read through later

And my guitar is back!!!!! Sometimes I feel I need another electric guitar at home. Brr. Practice purposes (or just another plain excuse to buy a new guitar?! :P)

I watched Ghost Rider yesterday. And man lousy story line IMO. HAHA. But some parts are cool well but overall, below average.

Ok that's all again! Bye bye!
