Birthday Celebrate
Turned *9 years old on 25 Sep....Enjoyed my Birthday in an unqiue way to say. First, went for a dinner in a cosy environment with wify..The food was nice but unfortunately, the lady boss seems to be more 'polite' to those ang moh guests that comes in after us...Nonetheless, the place is very relaxing for people like me and I thought my godfather would like the music played there.
After the dinner, we went for a short walk along a familiar yet forgotten place for me...Orchard
Road..this place made me look very 'young'.....
Next up, we went over to L Cube located @ Tanjong Pagar to meet up with a band whom I got to know via SOFT...They were looking for people to play Beyond's songs and of course I'm interested to have a go at it. I don't really know what got into me and I end up at the wrong jamming studio....near Central...and got told off by wify as she recalled L Cube was not along that stretch...She was right...I was utterly wrong....Haa......Finally we reached the studio, went in and I tried to blend into their play without getting my vocals warmed up..first up, 教坏细路.....Not the most often played song during my time but I do practise it during the ITE days where I let my fingers fly on the Bass Guitar. Then they played an oldie which I'm not quite familiar with the lyrics...haa...for once, their song I'm not familiar with the lyrics...永远等待 was the track...In fact I only started to like this one after Beyond did a re-mix that made it sound much more heavier...had difficulty reading the lyrics they printed out cause it is all lumped together.....
Final song before we end the session was another favorite track of mine....灰色軌跡.... I loved this as one of the best song from their 91 Concert where Ka Kui played the acoustic solo on his guitar...I managed to sing this 3 songs as they started the session earlier and I could not jeopardise my dinner with wify.....Of course wify was ever understanding to allow me to go for the session after the dinner....keee....Next Thur is the following session and I shall be doing my homework before going for the session this time round. It does feel odd that I'm merely holding on to the mike and nothing else....especially without holding my favorite guitar to sing Beyond's songs seems a little odd and uncomfortable for me. Will try to get use to it and try to blend into this band...
Somehow, this year I spent my birthday feeling much more relax...without much things to worry upon. Probably like what wify said, this year I do not need to worry about the band performance for our wedding..Haa...
Finally, would like to thank all whom send their wishes to me for my Birthday and apologies to those I might have forgotten to reply to.
Oh oh....forgot to mention on the part of the first word mention in title...Houseman.....
Went wet market with my mum earlier and was picking the shops to buy fresh meat, vege, etc... And I'm excited that this wet market at Admiralty MRT has much more choices for us to choose from...Haa...Houseman?! I'm not going to transform into that so soon....I Hope....
Love 'N' Peace..

I'm blogging from my new home!!!!!
A Brand New Home, A Brand New Experience
Have finally shifted over to the new house. And finally I got the Internet access up and running from our home so I can finally blog from home while viewing the big pool in front of me, or should I say beneath me. It took me quite a while to get things up and running, getting used to driving to work from north to west. It's a brand new responsibility for me now that I'm running a house of my own and of course with the support from wify. But its the added responsibility that spurns me on to think and plan things in a new direction and manner. Although my parents are still living with me which is one of the greatest treasure, I have take into consideration them leaving their comfort zone in the west to a new place where they are total strangers to. Things didn't help with dad being ill for the past months and that cue me to take that additional days of leave to be home to accompany him. Sometimes, what elderly need is just a person to have breakfast with 'em...chat a little, watch a bit of weekend soccer and they'll feel very much satisfied.
Taking part in the recently concluded in-camp did enriched me with massive knowledge which not only applies to my daily work but in fact can be applied to any part of my life. At the end of the camp, they have the feedback where everyone gets to give a fair share of comments on each member of the group and I thought it would be nice to share what the rest says of me here. Though part of it maybe 'beautified'....Most were saying that I should be more decisive and not to be too nice...Probably it's my character, I tend to be more concerned about what people might think then to be confident in myself that whatever decision I make will be accpeted by my peers. Think too much, maybe...Change my style of working, quite hard but I'll try. Being Mr. Nice @ work is something I had wanted to change, not to be Mr. Nasty though but have to be a little firm and reject 'helping' everyone but myself.. Shall work on that.
Music
Music continues to be part of my life and I'm trying hard not to stop playing guitar, be it acoustic guitar, electric guitar or bass. There's a couple of plans along the pipeline to carry on where I stopped and I'm going to work hard towards that. On a seperate note, if you happen to see me on national TV, Channel U...It's because I'm supporting my pal's band 'San Yue' as they went into the Semi-finals of the SUPERBAND Competition. Let's support them together.
Music for Life...
