夕阳之歌

斜阳无限无奈只一息间灿烂
随云霞渐散逝去的光彩不复还
迟迟年月难耐这一生的变幻
如浮云聚散缠结这沧桑的倦颜
漫长路骤觉光阴退减
欢欣总短暂未再返
哪个看透我梦想是平淡
曾遇上几多风雨翻
编织我交错梦幻
曾遇你真心的臂弯
伴我走过患难
奔波中心灰意淡
路上纷扰波折再一弯
一天想到归去但已晚
啊天生孤单的我心暗淡
路上风霜哭笑再一弯
一天想想到归去但已晚

Weiyang came over to accompany me at work last night. The last time he came over to the studio was when he was doing attachement during university...and that was before I went back to church. We had the famous mixed vege rice the other time, we had porridge last night..

It's a great catching up session. I havent seen him in weeks. Cos I haven't been around for a while. Of cos we touched on the topics of problems in and out of church...well, all I can say is great lor. It's nice talkin to him, after awhile. I shared with him my band's situation, and how wonderful things have been lately for me, both work and music.

The kittens are growing, and fast learners too. They are learning to leap higher as the days goes by. Soon they will be all over me....irritatingly cute. I really hope i can persevere on in 'rearing' them. Cos it can be a bitch taking care of the shit. Well, thats the deal about having cats for pets, or any other pets...

Ivor is getting a Gibson Flying V, and he's gonna lend me. Rhea is getting an ESP Angel, and she's lending me too. Frankie can supply me with kitty food. Yes I am still getting all the attention from the band. I crave attention. I have to be frank and truthful about myself. That's actually my needs. Haha!

Playing bass for worship became a reality, but I decline due to my lack of skill. But still, thanks to Jianrong for believing. Not alot of people believe in me......here are the LIST of people and stuff who or which don't believing in me:

My turtles
My folks (I don't even think they understand which planet I am living in right now)
Some HDB dwelling people, 'friends'.
Bittergourds in life.
Beer, cos I cant hold them.
Rich asses.
People with 'wonderous' ideas.
People who stays in the present but lives in the past.

Whatever. Yes....i hear that in your head.

Time runs out on you eventually, what are you gonna do about your life?

Thanks to Ruicheng for the kittens. Too bad he can't keep them.


I cant speak to you in this way, and I cant behave in that way. If there are messages in my actions, its meant for everyone, not just you.


Murtabak!

261108

In most years, December is definitely the free-est of time.

Not so this year.

All of sudden a flood of jobs rushed in thru my window. Flooding my everything, and everything. Haha! I am enjoying the fact that I am actually relishing my moment of busy-ness. And yes my business. So its been great for me, happily clicking away, both on the camera and my wacom tablet. Good old tablet, been with me for close to eight years now....never disappoints me.

Now splitting time for briadal fashion, and fashion/celebrities shoot. Aw, I am having so much fun with ppl, and my workload! I am gonna be so tired......but so glad that I didnt give up when I almost did.
My band.

Hardworking, dedicated, focus, talented, great people....mind you, all working class adults, not children or kids. I always think working adults who plays music will fade into the world of work-get married-settle down-have kids-die. I am so wrong, when I met these people, I almost felt ashame of myself. My self-proclaimed passionate in music speech has stop. What the hell have I doing these years? Hardworking in making music has another meaning.....passion comes with tear, blood, sweat and a little family love. And maybe a little red wine, at times for me.

Second recording is wrapping up, and we are prep for the next one. Which is gonna be a little tad bit, more difficult. I cant help but sense the band getting a little more progressive as time pass by. And that adds to our joy of playing as well. I have lesser fear in recording as compare to the second time, after the first time of stuck in the studio for drums for three hours. In fact I am so looking forward to it. I don't know if we are gonna include another guitarist who played with us last sat. I find it weird, maybe I am used to four piece. I mean, if Edmund comes in, we cant be Fantastice four liao le. He cant be Franklin Richards, cos he's older, and he definitely can be She-Hulk..cos I like She-Hulk, and he's not.....green enuff...wells....I think we might have to become Avengers liao loh....which is gonna be the next happening thing in marvel movies.....

Been hanging out with Josh many time lately. He is still that younger but kinda like older bro to me. And totally took care of me whenever we are out. We are constantly thirsty for good reasons. He is a good store supervisor so he talk alot, hence thirsty. I am a drummer, I drank like gallons of water. Hence, we are thirsty.

Anyways, he is still the best. He is always there not because I am handsome. Or I am charming, so will have alot of girls with me. Or I am rich, and pay for his drinks. Or have a laptop for him to use. Or I have millions of sneakers he can borrow or steal. Or I have a whole room of toys he can play with. Or because I plays music and have many instruments. Or because I have a beautiful girlfriend. It's just because he is my bro. Because he cares. That probably explains why I never bothered with his snore...I hate to hear ppl snore!!! Yet i am ok with he's.

I just gotten my two pairs of Yoshiki drumsticks from Japan!! Yay:)


Just want to close this blog with a nice song by 苏世民. It's a gospel chinese song, written by an ex drug convict. He wrote this after he accepted Christ into his life. Simple lyrics, lovely melody! And not to mention cool musical arrangements!



赞美感谢你



赞美你 耶和华 我们的天父

赞美你 赐下你的独生子耶稣

赞美你 耶和华 我们的天父

赞美你 赞美你 赞美你

感谢你 我救主 亲爱的耶稣

感谢你 这些日子以来的看顾

感谢你 我救主 亲爱的耶稣

感谢你 感谢你 感谢你

感谢圣灵 充满我心

喜乐。。。无法形容。。。

圣灵。。。再次充满我心

哈利路亚哈利路亚赞美你





这首诗歌是我在戒毒所接受主后,

神赐给我的一首诗歌。 ~ 苏世民

Some works.......and words.

Elyzia is planning to finish their second demo recording. My second attempt to 'proper' recording. And more I did learn from this attempt.....not going into the details about my lessons/recording......if any musician really want to improve, i do highly suggest doing some recording. U will enjoy this journey. Music is not mediocre.

Some pics.

上帝有情,人生有望 (Day 6)

Want to share this song today.

We had practice today, and some bit of recording. We practice a medley which also consist of this song called 上帝有情,人生有望.

Lovely lyrics, and melody. Just to share. It touches me much.

人講這人生親像作眠夢
透早睏醒就攏無半項
雖然咱有心,世間人無情
只有看破成作空
阮講阮人生有主來疼愛
雖然散赤人嘛有希望
毋免嘴怨嘆,毋免心沈重
毋免心酸又目眶紅

(副歌)
若不是耶和華起造
起造的人就著磨空空
咱攏是上帝的產業
天頂有財寶永遠沒破孔
向主來打開心內的門窗
即時重頭生得到釋放
只要咱有心,上帝嘛有情
這世間有疼有希望
只要咱有心,上帝嘛有情
這世間有疼有希望
上帝有情、人生有望

Listen to it:

I Need To Be In Love


The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

* I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

+ So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

Day 5

The end of 4th day, the beginning of 5th day.

Additional players to the band, Xinglong on the bass and Kairen on guitar. Thanks to them for helping.

I lost track of the songs we have completed or not complete. Completely confuse of situations and timeline. But thanks to Charis, all is being noted. We did 3rd and 4th day at T21. Alot of guitar and bass tracks are not complete. I think Charis and myself have 2 more songs to do, and a few more with her alone and a few with Siyang. Weiyang was really fast on his own basslines and guitar, and guitar fill ins. The pro that he is. Swiftness is his game.

I was reading the timetable. Can faint!

Energy running low. Kaisiong isnt around anymore. Charis is sick. Siyang is asleep beside me. I am blogging.

2 more days til sunday. Dont think can complete leh.....

I am scare to sing. For the first time in my life.
