GUESS WHO'S BACK! Well 2009 is over and let me show u a glimpse of the things since November till 1st Jan.
We had another show with the kids band for the thanksgiving service and they are getting better. Now they only need 45 mins to master 1 song. Good job!

We did some practise for the fanfare music and this is what I caught Merv doing while we took a break.
We had a week of fasting and this is the pre-fasting meal and we really stuffed ourselves and before we starved ourselves. I got to say that the whole experience of fasting was a good one. I really learnt the meaning of not leaning on your flesh, literally and spiritually. I encourage all of you to join us in this fasting quest. It's good!
My good SOT mates got married and Pastor officiated the wedding! Congrats to Jeremy and Salome! Live a great life together!

So the kids band finally performed and this is Benson giving quantam music theory to Brian our saxophone, guitar and bass player. Well done!
Benedict and I had to try the newly hyped ramen restaurant at Mandarin hotel. Not bad. Good stuff but long queue.
So I met my FSV mates for dinner at Marche at the new 313 Somerset! I think the sheeps look strangely interesting...
The christmas tree at Ion. I got to say they really stick to their theme of lights. Well done. Nice tree.
I managed to catch the fireworks just next to the Fullerton and despite the squeezing and me hating crowds, I got to say I really enjoyed this spectacular display. Hello 2010!

Well friends, I got to say 2009 is a rough year. Some ups and some downs but overall everything has a moral and lesson behind it.

Everytime there's a new year, it's like a clean slate. We start all over again and try to make things right.

On the whole, thank God for 2009 and let's welcome 2010 and kick some butt!!!

The crapology of good crapping is crapping with a sense of crap that craps you out of your crap.

I'm back after a month of hiatus and crazy stuff happening around me. Well my life has been all about practise and grinding and recently I'm reaping the fruits. Well last week was Colin and Cherry's wedding and we had a blast with them at Sentosa, not in the private sense but well, a blast! Enjoy the pics below to get a brief idea.
Gavin, Francis, Colin's brothers and I were the Groom's entourage and after the morning, we headed to Sentosa. But in between stuff, I rushed to play for the service at Expo and I headed back in time for a short break. TAKE A HIKE!

So we saw a group of fellas doing the flying fox and boy, someday I got to do this again!!! LOVE IT!!!
Next thing we saw were odd stuff surrounding us. Gavin and I saw this 2 girls posing with a SEAWEED taken off the side of the bridge. Ok it looks really weird as the seaweed isn't green but kind of brown coz it's dead...
Next thing we saw 2 guys pulling each other into the water. Very disturbing...seriously...groping...blah blah blah...but still FUNNY!!! HAHAHA!!!
Next we saw a bunch of guys "surfing". I seriously think they are trying too hard coz there's no real waves in Singapore.
So I bought 2 cans of NAUGHTY G for Colin and Cherry! Did it work? Ask them yourself!
Here they are. Sweetest couple! The day was a miracle. It has been raining nuts and bolts the last few days and on their wedding day, it was bright and sunny! CONGRATS!!!
So the week had to go on and guess what I saw? A monkey climbing the overhead bridge. Sometimes I don't wanna look for weird stuff but they all just happen to be right in front of me all the time! HAHAHA!

Alright mates! I hope you love it! There's much more and I've been getting fresh revelation and finally a channel of ideas for music. It's like suddenly the frustration and irritating things are slowly going off! THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!

Hi Guys! I'm back, rejuvenated after such a crazy gig! I had fun at the MR BIG concert over the weekend and I got to say man!!! This is a crazy gig! I never thought that it would be this fun and this good and boy am I still nuts about this gig!
I love MR BIG because of Mr Paul Gilbert. The band with him is just crazy and insane and this pic is taken during Green Tinted 60s Mind and I got to say this is the most entertaining gig ever!

But before MR BIG, we had the bachelors night for my dear cgl Mr Colin and although we are just a few of us, we are going to make a difference and give hell to the ladies!
This is the backup of the backups which is more kick ass than any other hollowbodies that I've heard and I'm proud to keep this axe! Who says Epiphone don't kick ass?!
So we went for Weishan's 21st birthday party at Siloso Beach Resort after the MR BIG gig and this is what happens on Monday morning when you are too tired. You dig too much dettol soap, yes I just said dettol, and this is what you get! Dettol jacuzzi!

Well the last 1 week has been good. I am beginning to see things clear up. Until now, I have always been the guy on the ground listening, watching out for everyone, and taking care of the troops. I think knowing everyone is an awesome privilege. Thanks for confiding and thanks for trusting. Secrets are safe with me.

The crapology of good crapping is crapping with a sense of crap that craps you out of your crap.

I'm back and I'm bad. Yes I am bad and I never ever refuse that. I've been busy for 1 month planning and practising like a mad freak and in the end, nothing comes out appreciated. That's just life I guess. You will never be appreciated for what you do behind the scenes but only if you wayang in front, you'll get more than what you need.

Recently I have been busy preparing for a trip to Kuching and KK. I love KK because it's where my dad comes from and so, enjoy the pics.

My latest and updated gear. There might be minor changes. Watch out!
I'm rather intrigued by this ad and I think it's really funny how we want to boost the child birth rate here.
I went to the Dead Sea Scroll exhibition and seriously there's nothing much but 4 pieces of "scrolls". Besides that, I found time to read and discover stuff.
So we got bored and decided to tuang.
I love my gf!
Alan's 335 and my 135. These are the 2 axes for the mission trip. Cool.
Before leaving, a few of us celebrated Benedict's birthday. It was fun. Check out the FB pics!
I love this shot! Oh I'm bad with liquor. I turn red fast and people will assume I'm drunk. It's fun to mess with their brains when they try to mess with mine not realising I'm not drunk!
I love pomelo from Kuching! Wanna eat?!
And after 2 days in Kuching we headed to KK with the boss.
Our mode of transport. Old school bus!
I'm the pianist for the Green Heart band at the lobby of the KK hotel with a lot of pang puah liap singers.
I thought they only spit in China.
And so here's the real pic. Jesselton! I was named Jessel in remembrance of my dad's hometown. Jesselton, the old name for Kota Kinabalu. That's the story of my name and the place. When I come here, my name's no longer unique. Dang!
Fresh eh...
We went to stay overnight for Stephanie's aunt's wake and guess who I caught sleeping! HELLO KITTY IS FROM SATAN!
Being intrigued, this crazy bugger decided to try the drink and see if he can "rise to the occasion" or "sustain". Nothing happens...the urine just smells weird. [DISCLAIMER...NO SEX INVOLVED OR GONCHANG!]
Our dear crazy Weishan busted her slipper, wrapped her foot in a plastic bag and we bought he a really ugly pair of slippers for her. She can't help but to accept it because of the situation she's in.
The kids blew away the whole church again. Well done boys and girl. I'm proud of Ron coz he's got an attitude.

Well. I guess everyone's wondering why am I so quiet, angsty and one kind recently. I got to say things are not happening for me and I am feeling rather frustrated about it. I'm on the verge of giving up many things and the only way back is a supernatural intervention or the fellowship of real friends. The line is getting finer by the moment. If any screw ups occur, I'll just blow my top without hesitation.

Hi Guys! It's been a while since I blogged after that crazy rant of mine. I guess at the end of the day, being happy is what matters most. Enjoy some of the pics below to get an idea of how things has been.

My gf and I made friends with an old lady at the zoo.
Mr Benedict went to Australia to look for his gf and now he's having a blast of a time there. Well done dude! Remember to keep ball in hand.
I'll be working with these guys again pretty soon. I am looking forward to them doing so well. The last time they brought down the roof. I hope to see them do that again. Well done boys and girl.
Mr greatest drummer. I'll be watching you and October is just a few weeks away!

Mr Benedict and I went to baybeat and we saw a metal band perform. It was interesting to see the stage antics of these metal maniacs and I remember I once wanted to be such a rocker but I guess age caught up and things are going jazzier. hahaha!
I love this guitar. Right now I have a Les Paul, ES 135 and a Martin DX1CE. Gears are always changing to improve sound but there will be additions coming up soon! Who can tag the exact effects I use?!?!

Recently I have been thinking about life and how it has been. I tell you when you are going up another level, crazy things are happening around you and more in you mind.

Sometimes things can never be as ideal as it seems but I guess working around things is the way to go. For that to happen we need wisdom more than anything else and it's useless for me to rant and hope it goes away, but the best thing to do is not talk so much and work quietly and make things happen. Let the fruits of the work show itself.

That's my lesson learnt.

Recently i haven't have time to put up pics but let me just put a very short word entry here.

Recently things have been happening among close friends and all I ever tried to do was help but in the end you get burnt.

All I can say is, this is a very very messed up world and I am sick of trying and helping. Sometimes being a Saint isn't always worth it and being a nice guy isn't always worth it and PR isn't always the thing that I am good at.

Next time if anyone have problems, don't make it mine. I have been burnt and this time, it's bad. I put fuel in fire and I didn't even know. In Chinese it's "yue bang yue mang".

I apologise for any nonsense that I have caused. I can't say more and I can't say less but I'm sorry. If you need an explanation, it's all said above.

dekcuf pu!

Alright there! I was tied down with work and what nots and finally I have time to show everyone a glimpse of my life from Taiwan till HK till SOT till weekend services till LIVERPOOL vs SINGAPORE!!!

Here I am about to give the F5 to Lee!

Ah...the holy grail of shilin!!!
We left TW for HK and we had a great time and probably the craziest time in TW.

This is what happens when you massage someone...looks extremely wrong!!!
Lee used his warm up for other purposes...damn good massage!

So I caught a fever, flu and cought and just because I just got back from HK, I got 7 days MC and had to self-quarantine!!!
We were training the children's band and this is what happen when too much practises gets to you!!!
Mervyn had a Super Mario jacket for the weekend.
During SOT...JUNE!!!

Glyn also!!!
Victor is a dangerous driver!!! No lah! He pulled up by the road for the call.
So I went for the LFC vs Spore match!!!
40,000 Liverpool fans turned up to sing You'll Never Walk Alone!

And here comes the teams! Liverpool in black and Singapore in red.
The YNWA anthem before the match. Damn shiok, but I guess England, Liverpool, the real deal, is much more insane!
And the match begins!
I was keen to see who will kena ram!

Torres came on and with his first touch he nearly rounded the goalie!
After a 5-0 win, the players gave the fans something to remember. Shiok!
Me and my Liverpool buddy. Shiok lah! Let's go Anfield!!!

OK folks! Most of my TW and HK pics got lost in the midst of transferring them over to my Macbook as I am exploring some stuff and boy it's really messed up! To see more pics you can check out my FB account and oh yeah, I'll be super busy again for Anniversary, running around and making things happen. Take care and I'll update more often.
