Hi Guys! My Macbook Pro is up and running and I have just started blogging LONG OVERDUE pics that has been overdue since KL till now and the TW and HK pics are on the way up! This is madness!!! ENJOY!
Before going to KL, I went to get my new Martin at City Music and this is how they acknowledged the moving of Maybank.
Malaysian Skies.
The T-Shirts of landmarks!
At Chengjun's wedding, China woman was spotted making her "bed"...
And cozying up to sleep...HAHAHA!!!
I saw a getai at the open field opposite my block. Respect to getai musicians and pentatonics!
During SOT sessions...Estella slept on the same spot...
So did Glyn...
And Estella again...EH SHIFT SPOT LAH! HELLO KITTY IS FROM THE DEVIL!!!
We met this cab driver who could sing songs in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Very "nice".
Batu Cave!!!
We went for Victor's kid, Noah's 1st yr birthday and we had a BBQ. We used this brand of fire starters...hehehehe!
Here he is! Confused with the cake...
And then WHAM! Happy birthday Noah! Don't have a triangle head like your dad!
We see lots of this very often.
Alright there! 1st installment of the weekend!
The crapology of good crapping is crapping with a sense of crap that craps you out of your crap.
Hello everyone! The road has been long and the sunset is always beautiful. I have been really busy with stuff but I guess sometimes it's good to be back on the road doing simple things. Check out the pics below to know what's going on!
Yueze looks sad during our music and movement class. HAHAHA!
CHINA WOMAN! YOU SLEEP!!!
Alright man! I took a break and went to Ubin with my gf!
We were greeted with lots of flags. They were having a opera over to celebrate some festival. Cool!
The water near the quarry is always clean! My gf and I washed our feet there!
Spot the SPIDER!!! It's the size of my palm!
Eigene's best friend was found at the Malay auntie's house! HAHAHA!!! Everytime I go Ubin, I will come here for a drink.
Look to the right of the pic. Can you see that now they don't use generators but solar panels man! Ubin also kena upgrade but the beauty is that it is still very very rustic.
I love this view man. I like the wild and the forests. I love kampong and I love relaking.
So we left Ubin and went back for dinner.
Nice right? Sitting on a boat and enjoying the wind is relaxing.
The next day my gf and I went to the Asian Civilazation Museum. It was a cool place but cannot take too many pics in there. We went to look at the Kang Xi exhibitions. Very nice. Very in-line with what we learnt in Church.
This bridge is really old and we cross it all the time we go to Boat Quay. Nice. Our history is pretty interesting!
Look at LEE! He got a new haircut!
When the morning greets you in such a wonderful display of light, all I can say is life's good!
Well, the break I took is just fantastic. I feel happy just thinking about it. The next break I take will be even more awesome.
Sometimes we take breaks for a reason. Sometimes for no reason. But I love breaks and a break after 2 years helps a lot. I feel recharged but usually after that, there is a MOUNTAIN to climb. Next year I will do that!

Hi Folks! I'm back and can you dig it?! Well, we are nuts and yes I'll stay nuts and I have been very busy with playing guitar. In fact, I played till I got very sick and I just fully recovered from a very bad throat inflammation. Well, enjoy the updates and the pics!
Mervyn was obviously very tired after playing for 2 weeks in SOT. We played for the morning prayer meeting then after that SOT all the way till 1pm and on Wed, we stayed all the way till music prac. We were underground from 6.30am all the way till 11pm that day.
I think snails are slimey but they move in style.
We celebrated Stephanie's birthday, the one from Ngee Ann and POS, not the Chan Mali Chan, and we had a blast of alcohol and sabos!
Some things just don't change. 1 year ago, it was like this, but 1 year on, after an annoucement has been made, these punks just refuse to go away. Well done!
Look at the Merc cab next to the black car. If you look carefully, the entire bonnet is charred and burnt, probably due to the engine overheating. WE NEED A GOOD LONG DAY OF RAIN!!!
And it did come, but it was short lived. You should have seen the phenomenal movement of the rain clouds moving in man.
I like this pic. The lift looks cool but it does look MTVish.
Even the birds needed a shower to keep cool! Guess...what was I doing?! TAG!
This guy slept in style man. He held the seat in front so he could push himself back up when he leans forward too much. It was super funny watching him look like a crash dummy!
And this is the moment! The rockers with the ultimate rocker. We had a guitar clinic with Dave Holmes, and this is a showcase of all the beautiful guitars! From left, Alan and his Tele Thinline, me and my ES135, Dave Holmes and his Gretsch White Falcon, Yenhao with his Duesenberg Carl Carlton Model, Poh with his American Deluxe Strat and Weisheng with his Gretsch Duojet!
Alright guys, that's all for now, I hope I looked thinner over the weeks of insane training. I have dropped from 82 to 77kg and I need to drop more or at least start getting those muscles and packs in order! Love all of you!
Some stuff to sidetrack. I realise that people are placed in your life to bring out the best and sometimes it does show the darkside of things. To be honest, I was a little disappointed the last 2 weeks but I guess that we got to grow out of disappointment and move into delight and joy in doing the things that you love. Nobody's perfect. Even I am a piece of crap but sometimes, crap does make people laugh!

Hi Friends! How's everybody mun? Like my snakes and lizards? Cool? HAHAHA! Guess I have been silent for a while and now, IT'S TIME TO MAKE SOME NOISE!!! ARRRRGH!!! HOOOO!!! Enjoy the pics while I update you quickly. BTW, what do you call a white snake? Please tag! Educate me!
We have been rocking out in church and Mervn is loving it! HAHAHA!
I took over this black guitar! HAHAHA!
Next to Liang Hong is Eigene. Serious.
Crossing the causeway to KL. A group of us went there to play for CHCKL. It was fun.
We ate some really really good nasi lemak and Schumann has to take a shot of the food and me of him.
Look at Soo Huei. About to kill the chicken. Woah man!
YES! We did it again! HOOO!
Weisheng tried the big fishes with me. Most of them did it for the 1st time and they had a itching good 1st 5 mins and after that they got hooked!
Weisheng got the guts to take the anaconda and not go EEE YER...EEE YER...hahaha!
So it's back to JW for morning prayers and SOT. It was crazy and fun looking at strange ppl taking pics of me and vice versa.
I love being at JW, coz I am perpetually stuck there from 6.30am to 7.30 for 3 days in a week. Power right? I also think it's very power. More than that, I think this week is power because in SOT I met interesting people and talented people and I enjoyed playing music this week more than other days simply because I could flow and I could enjoy and listen to ppl sing and friends playing and enjoying each other. Awesome! That's what music is suppose to be. Fun and Fun!

Hi Friends! I'm back. Well as you can see, I've been busy preparing my own meals and right now I'm on a hardcore exercise regime to lost 12 kilos in the space of 10 weeks. I wonder how is it going to happen but so far, I have been running and swimming on alternate days and I have lost 1kg already. It can happen! That roast chicken wing is the last of it's kind. Going healthy and GETTING STRONGER! ROCKY!!!
I have been reading blogs and I got to say that the whole of Singapore saw the same rainbow. Beautiful
We had sound check at expo and here is Charles enjoying himself, by himself. HAHAHA!
I like cats that sleep on roofs.
We had our version of SCHOOL OF ROCK on Thu and the result was phenomenal.
Look at Charles. He's a natural ROCKER!
On Monday it rained so heavily that Ben and I got caught in the rain together.
This is he and I sharing a gay moment under a small umbrella together. WOAH MAN!
More SCHOOL OF ROCK!
Here's the boss, Mr KC showing Adi...THE WAY!!!
And here is Soo Huei in the p.s position! HAHAHA!
I love this band.
And here am I cycling home after swimming. Make a guess, was I riding with hands or no hands? TAG!!!
Alright there friends. Most of you saw the previous entry and are wondering what on the blue earth happened to me and my family? Well, we got robbed and my mum got assaulted as a result of the robbery. Thank God that she is well and she is recovering well. Right now, we hope that justice will come upon the robber.
Then again, he could be desperate. At the moment, we see that people are resorting to such methods to gain money. Be strong during this economic crisis and pray that $ will come to you.
Don't worry about us. We are strong as a family and God makes the weak stronger! We will fight and whatever we lost we will earn them back a 100 fold man. ROCK ON!!!
