Oh Man...

Oh man, this sucks, went out look for jobs and just realized that most jobs require people to work for at least six months, which I can't do cause I'll probably have to enlist before that... Drats... And my mom keeps nagging me about doing nothing at home, I don't know what I'm gonna do now... Oh well, will have to think of something. I'm dying without my drumset, argh... I'm gonna ask my dad to get me my new set soon so I can start practising all the great latin jazz/funk =D Kinda obsessed with it now, I am so going to Brazil when I'm older, like the music there is fantastic. Still can't find my Intuit CD ARGH, and I'm looking for another CD from the band Vinyl, their really cool, like a jam band that plays like really fusion stuff, mixing lotsa different things together. And I forgot to mention I watched a really good movie yesterday. 'Nobody Knows', touching Japanese movie thats kinda artsy. Its like flimed documentry style and the scenes and the acting, all superb, especially the acting. Its a story bout four kids being abandoned by their mother in the city and how they manage to survive. And the kids act so real, its amazing, and they're darn adorable too =P Its one of those movies that leave an impression on people, I highly reccommend watching it unless you not a very artsy person, then you might find it boring but for people who can appreciate art, you definately must see it.

Latin Jazz/Funk is the best !!!

Haha woohoo !!! Man I love latin jazz/funk. Michel Camilo !!! He is like the best freaking latin jazz/funk piano player !!! Simply incredible !!! And I just bought a new CD, Poncho Sanchez, great latin jazz/funk percussionist !!! Like party songs man, just so fun. But I am rather irritated that more than half the CDs I'm looking for simply can't be found in Singapore, its so irritating why don't they have good jazz music here? =l I shall continue my search for new CDs, and I will get a solid collection of jazz CDs that I will !!! =P

New Look !!!

Woohoo !!! My blog has a new look !!! =D Haha yeah, just bought Relient K's new album, Mmhmm, and it so totally rocks man !!! Christian punk at its best =D Especially their song More Than Useless, kinda long but yeah, here are the lyrics =P

Relient K
More Than Useless

I feel like
I would like
to be somewhere else
doing something that matters
and I lay here
or I sit here
my mind walks away
and my thoughts are together

Whats the purpose
it feels worthless
so I'm haunted by the lost of my value
I can't find it
not in the least bit
and I'm just scared,
scared that I'll fail you
and sometimes I think
that I'm not any good at all
and sometimes
I wonder why
I'm even here at all
but then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless
when I think that I can't do this
you promise me that I'll get through this
and do something right
do something right for once

So I say if I can
do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
ain't nothing trival
to let me give you will
measure up to what might have replaced it
to Ray Brook
not day break
respectful to days
that were empty and now gone
and knock back
the regret
a road to get me to improve in the long run

Sometimes I think that
I'm not any good at all
sometimes I wonder why
I'm even here at all
but then you assure me
I'm a little more than useless
when I think that I can't do this
you promise me that I'll get through this
and do something right
do something right for once

I’m a little more than useless
and never knew I knew this
its gonna the day
gonna be the day
that I will do something right
do something right for once.

I know this
I know this
weak is the symbol of how I use my time
resented
I spent it
convincing myself
the worlds doing just fine
without me
I’m doing anything with any consequence
without me
showing anytime with never making sense
of my time
its my life
and my right to use it like I should
like he would
for the good
of everything that I would ever know

I'm a little more than useless
when I think that I can't do this
you promise me that I'll get through this
and do something right
do something right for once

I’m a little more than useless
and never knew I knew this
its gonna the day
gonna be the day
that I will do something right
do something right for once



How strange for me to find this song at a time like this, haha, well wanna share this with everyone, those who feel they're useless and kinda hopeless, this song is for you guys !!! =)

*Yawns* I'm Bored...

Man, I'm bored =l Went out with my dad today, tried to find new drumset for me but drats, didn't find anything I like... =( But oh well, got new pair of shoes =D haha yeah, things been hm... fine so far, been engrossed in books and my music haha, waiting for NS yeah, think I really gotta start exercising and jogging already =P Well, I don't know, just in a hm... not really thinking much kinda mood haha, more like a don't think so much mood yeah, cause like I'm always thinking like every once in awhile it starts to hurt a lil then i have my break by cutting down on my thinking haha, ok I know I sound weird =P Off to practice guitar later !!! =)

Think Whatever You May Want But I Know What I'm Doing

For people who haven't already heard somehow, I am quitting school. Yes, like it sounds crazy and stuff, but I know what I'm doing. Its been chewing on me for ages, never fitted into my school and what I was studying, and I can't force myself to drag my legs to school and force my mind to process information I don't want and have no interest whatsoever in. And most importantly, I have something else I need to do, not only because I love it, but I feel God leading me somewhere else and its time I let go and followed. Its no secret music is my passion, almost my life really, and its what I want to do, but I don't let that cloud my mind on things, cause I know whats important is what God wants me to do. And God told me a long time ago that I will do music, it is gonna be that when I grow older just that the time wasn't right then, I wasn't ready. But now, I know He is telling me its time, time to move on and do new things He wants me to, and have to drop what I'm already doing and move on. Its hard, really I've struggled with it since like a year ago, but then i knew it wasn't time yet, and now I know, he is saying go. I know many people will not like this at all, they'll all be telling me I shouldn't be so rash and rush into things, but I know what I must do and I will stand firm in it, God's word to go is all I need and I know He will bring new wonderful things I could never possibly have if I stayed. I just want everyone who is worrying about me, who has been praying for me to be at peace, God has a lot in stall for me and I'm so excited, and you all have nothing to worry about cause He is gonna take me all the way, and I know I have nothing to fear. If anything I feel joy, so much joy and peace I have never felt before, one that comes only from faithful obedience to God's call.

Strangely Different

So many depressing stuff happening nowadays sigh... Really makes you think doesn't it? But strangely enough I'm not really feeling too low or depressed, not that I don't care or anything, but like yeah its sad and stuff but we move on, the world moves on, and theres no stopping to moan and regret the past really. All we can do is look forward, to not allow the same things to happen again, to not sit by and watch the world kill itself but do something to save it. Its weird really, and it might sounded a bit heartless, but I don't know, somehow I feel what has passed has passed no matter how bad it was, and whats important is the now, what we can do now. Maybe its the way I am, I never really worry about things cause I know God's in full control, but I guess I can't really speak for everyone, who knows what I'll be like if those horrible stuff happened to me. Not to say I'm not going through a rough patch myself, but yeah, I guess God made me such that I'd rejoice despite the circumstance, to always try to see the good that can result from the bad, even though it looks like nothing good actually comes out of it. But then again, we never really see the big picture, so how can we know for sure? All I know is I can trust in God, and have faith in him, and rejoice for every new day he brings along with the hope and joy he gives. And I hope I can share this hope and joy with other people, cause its one of the things the really world needs now. So yeah, don't think it strange I'm still my usual cheerful self, its my way of making a difference really.

Boring Day ZZzzz...

Was a boring day yups, nothing much really, just a lazy afternoon/evening with John Pizzarelli, bossa nova is so relaxing =D I'm so waiting to get my next CD, after I save up a bit, you can bet on me blowing all my Chinese New Year money on CDs =P Well guess thats all for today, really really boring day gosh, brazillian jazz and latin jazz/funk rocks !!! Woohoo !!! =P

First Day of School for the New Year

Once again I'm back to school, *yawns* boring stuff. Been thinking a lot (which isn't really new to me) and hm... just wondering what I'm gonna set out to do for the year. First on my list, GET MY STUDIES RIGHT, haha, yeah, thats like really really important now, can't afford anymore screw ups. Next is my cg, gosh its sad to see it has drifted apart so much, so next on my list is to start trying to get it back together !!! Haha, after that its a whole list of music stuff, like continue learning my guitar, start learning piano, build up a good collection of jazz music CDs, and learn how to play some of it =P Yups, other then that hm... nothing much really. And its been weird, its like for once I really like being single, haha, I don't know, may be cause I have stuff to do and like yeah, finding a girlfriend and all that doesn't really mean that much anymore, its like I can't really find anyone who exactly suits me yet, or if I have, I somehow know it might not work out and shouldn't really do anything yet, so yeah, being single rocks !!! And may be its cause I had bad experience, hm... its like not that much of a difference for me really, I don't know, just a lotta stuff in my head =P
