Thursday, October 21, 2004 Song of the Moment: Pretty, Pretty by The Early NovemberEarly in the morning, wake up to a bright blue sky lightning comes at any time to break it down and make it ugly i know that it's just for me 'cause no one else can feel or understand that's alright because i can handle all that you throw down And i hope you find a perfect place where sky's are beautiful all of the time it's all that matters, pretty, pretty and i know that's all you could care about there's no reason why you can't It's all about the icing, and nobody cares about what's inside you could see the outside face, it looks good, it must be great and i know that's all you see what would it matter anyway 'cause i can see right through your pretty, pretty skin today And i hope you find a perfect place where sky's are beautiful all of the time it's all that matters, pretty, pretty and i know that's all you could care about there's no reason why you can't and no reason why i should try to go on anymore my reason's all gone, no reason why you should try to make excuses to make me feel alright excuses call for stupid reasons and i know that it's not much that i can offer right now just give me one little second and i will try my hardest to make you feel like i'm someone else.  Electrico 
Electrico!
Caught Electrico at UCC when they were performing for the ExxonMobilCampus Concert. Simply electrifying; i have more respect for local bands nowadays what with the plentitude of bands coming up: Observatory, Electrico, Parousia, Lunarin etc. What made Electrico's performance so memorable was their rock vibe and their fun factor. They even broke into a bossa beat in the middle of a rock piece! Too bad the audience can't stand up n gyrate to the music. Electrico's certainly one band to look out for, so start supporting local bands! (Electrico's currently under Universal Records, as with Observatory) After the performance @UCC, the evening of fun continued with the dnd bash @ cocolatte. turned out tt it was not as enjoyable cos of some hidcuups. well for one the place's not as happening as the clubs along the ms stretch. oh well, renhan mentioned tt it's not the place tt matters but the company. i certainly concur but it'd hav been better if the place's more crowded n the atmosphere more spiced up. till the next dnd bash. Monday, October 18, 2004 "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." (James 1:22)I ve been learning a lot abt Him for the past few months through His Word, but I ve not put into practice what He has revealed to me. I chose to be tempted and God says,"but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed."(James 1:14) I put myself through unnecessary hurt, pain and troubles. "When you pass through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." (Isaiah 43:2) I m really thankful that for all the wrong decisions that I ve made and thereby not putting faith in His Word, He has stood with me throughout my trials n tribulations. And "because testing of your faith develops perseverance", (James 1:3) I m glad tt at the same time I ve also learnt to persevere in His Word and ultimately find rest in His finished work. Praise God tt I ve emerged stronger and wiser. Amen I m thankful for my spiritual father too. Many times I ve not listened to his advice and subjected myself through all the needless emotional struggle n turmoil. But he never once admonished me and even pulled me out from my quagmire. I certainly "consider it pure joy even though I m facing trials." (James 1:2) Thanks Teck. I wouldn't be able to go through all these without yr guidance. Friday, October 15, 2004 this week's been a raspberry swirl. there's simply so little time to just even take a breather, save monday when I watched 'the motorcycle diaries' and did some shopping. so little time..well on the other hand the eh bazaar's been a fulfilling and welcome break from the monotony, drudgery and slavery of tutorials, lectures n projects. but wonder should I be glad cos I m not sure if I can handle the aftermath of the imminent or should I say on-going downward spiral. but what the heck! at least it takes my mind off certain issues.. time's a rather good weathering agent of emotions(of course the heart must be willin to let go) and I m glad that I m no longer impaled with that tingling thought of "should I hold on". but a new sense of freedom has gripped me and I can move on with my life in other areas esp music. praise Yud-hei-vav-hei. till the next entry....meanwhile the bazaar's been a buzz. Thursday, October 07, 2004 Heart's chordBitter-sweet memories flash by as Milla sings The Violin strikes a chord in my Heart She sings, " We had this dream locked behind these wicked thoughts; you and I, we felt Pain." I say, "It's your life, it's your soul and it's my Heart, it's my mind." The Violin reverberates into the stills of the darkness Waiting for the Day patiently to come, when the Violin becomes an accompaniment to my soul ~reptile Wednesday, October 06, 2004 
Bliss
Bendy the resident C4 pet just spawned 4 kittens again... Tuesday, October 05, 2004 Song playing in my head: Angel Youth by Last Days Of Aprilgather round. with you i hope it'll be here. although it doesn't dare to come near. i'll wait. every hour. i get a little closer. and just as i shall touch it. you call. i'm awake. the rest of you are sleeping. what if you will miss it. when it comes. glad for all. all the months it gave me. is there some way i can repay it. wish i could. i came so close this time. so close to find. what it once gave to me. let it pass. pass on to this new kid. i'll know just how he will feel. when it comes. and when he gathers round. his closest friends to see it. how i wish that they won't miss it. like you did. Happy 21st Bday Jer! Though u r not here in S'pore celebrating yr bday with close frens, dun fret. I m sure u'd still hav a great time with yr xchange frens there! Revel in yr angel youth. =) Monday, October 04, 2004 I'm in Los Angeles today: It smells like an airport runway.Jet fuel stenches in the cabin and lights flickering at random. I'm in Los Angeles today:Garbage cans comprise the medians of freeways always creeping even when the population's sleeping. And I can't see why you'd want to live here. I'm in Los Angeles today:Asked a gas station employee if he ever had trouble breathing and he said, "It varies from season to season, kid." It's where our best are on display: motion picture actors' houses maps are never ever current, so save your film and fifteen dollars. And I can't see why you'd want to live here, Billboards reach past the tallest buildings, "We are not perfect but we sure try" as UV rays "degradate" our youth with time. The vessel keeps pump us through this entropic place the belly of the beast that is Californ-i-a, I drank from the faucet and I kept my receipt for when they weigh me on the way out (here nothing is for free). The greyhounds keep coming dumping locusts into the street until the gutters overflow and Los Angeles thinks,"I might explode someday soon." It's a lovely summer's day and I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos. Is this the city of angels or demons? Here the names are what remain: stars encapsulate the gold lame and they need constant cleaning for when the tourists begin salivating. And I can't see why you'd want to live here. Billboards reach past the tallest buildings, You can't swim in a town this shallow because you will most assuredly drown tomorrow. Death Cab For Cutie - Why You'd Want To Live Here why we'd want to live anyway? ... Friday, October 01, 2004 Band of the moment: Broken Social SceneSong of the moment: Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Heard the sounds of this christian local band 'Parousia' today from my classmate, Kenric. Not bad for a made-in-s'pore set-up. Heart-felt lyrics praising the almighty Lord. Amen. Happens that Kenric is also in a band 'Absolutely Serious' doing lead vocals and I m dead serious that the band is a raw gem waitin to be polished. Woo hoo! Our mutual fren, Lyndon's also in the band. I was like wow! "So can I get advance autographs from u guys?" To top the day, Alexan stumbled onto bands that I m into nowadays! Broken Social Scene, Last Days of April, The Postal Service, etc. I m glad that someone else shares similar musical interests in this land infested with mainstream pop-hip-hop-bubblegum rock. "park that car, drop that phone, sleep on the floor, dream about me..." |
