:[ $350 speakers ]:
I tot I had wasted $350 on a piece of junk... I was approach by 2 ah bengs in a van at a carpark.. they said they had illegally brought out their company home theatre system to sell and wana sell me cheap cheap... A home theatre system would cost prob $2k onwards.. He would sell me $300 (later he add another $50)
Though i dun nid a system... i tot its a good deal... So i agreed and bought it for $350..
Than I told my senior and he said this wun come with the amps.... and it will b useless... Checked again with a few other fellow collegues and i realise that this home theatre system sellers are common in spore... they are everywhere! (man... i didnt realise)
But the good thing is that though without the amps, it will still work and what they sold are workable with warranty.. Just that i would need to get an amp to boast the sound..
Than i met up with one of our tenants.. i told her how i got this home theatre system and if she wana have them.... She got interested and we agreed on $400. =p
Than after she left, i opened up the box and confirm there really isnt an amp in there. i called the tenant and told her that it only has 2 long standing speakers and 2 short ones.. and a woofer.. (Dun wana be a bad salesman...) She will decide still.. but i am quite angry with myself for letting in to my stupidly gullible purchase mindset that i have...
Than i was having coffee with a collegue and he told me how he lost $300k at business dealing in the past and $18k while on a gambling trip. And that he has a 'kan kai' mindset... (easy going mindset) Its the business world.. and ya knw.. money can be earn back.. That conversation pretty set me free.. He is a small time taokay of his building contractors coy. Owes a luxury car and has money at his disposal.. Yeah.. talk about moving forward..
Than when i reach home i still have tots of sadness but than i realise i am gonna get my new game.. and this speakers could come in real handy... By nov 12, the game im excited for... Guitar Hero World Tour!! accompanied with Drum kit, guitar and a mic..
Now im gonna reshuffle my room and make some space..
Who wants a life size mirror with a wooden back? Free!
Who wants a red, white & blue rubber beach chair? free...
Who wana jam at my place? $4 an hour =D

:[ G for Zero ]:
Yea i think we did not bad for this competition. Save to say at least a 6/10.
Cant wait to get my hands on the video..
Thankful for encouraging n persistent band mates.. Not from my church family but still putting in loads of effort into this competition. And cuz we are down to 3 members from our comfy 5.. adapting extra roles to get things going.. And constantly shaking me off my stage frightness and nervousness.
Also wana THANK Jieying, Yongzhuo, Clemence, Melody, Aaron and Davis (though late from Riverwalk) for making it down to support a short 2 minutes performance.. Really appreciate you! Hope we didnt disappoint u guys..
Well.. of cuz i do hope we can qualify for the next stage. But some bands got the judging criteria all covered. But we are still happy with our performance today!
G40, great job!
Next move, auditions for pubs and cafes =D

:[ Extraordinary Cell Group Meeting ]:
Was reading Sarah Teo's blog awhile ago.. I think my post name shall be the same as hers.. =)
Attended the most extraordinary cgm for this year just now.. actually its on 3rd Oct. God is around and the Holy Spirit moved among us. I'd closed my eyes and I could focus in on God almost immediately though guitar playing was running thru my mind at the same time..
We just worship God over and over and over again.. We cried, laugh and was prayed for by Davis.. An hour pass just worshipping God with one song. And during singing in the spirit line, my eyes were closed like i dun care and Davis gotta tap me twice to get my attention. And Davis skip the preaching for cgm coz he acted upon his leading.. But... thats wat cgm are for rite?... encountering and re-encountering Jesus. Almost all of us lost our image. I looked like i just woke up and Becky gotta wash her face.. And Michelle who joined us again after awhile was touched as well. (3 cheers for our fav mich!!)
I saw myself again...
and im still trying to grasp, getting into my heart what i was told while my back was on the floor...
Just b4 cgm i was having a heart confession to God at my site office.. Had a few questions on my mind.. Not sure for this or that or this again...
For praise, it was not up to expectations so I planned to double up my effort for worship.. Or so i thought... Cause when God intervene, The Holy Spirit just took the steering wheel and drive... When I think back, I felt in my spirit that i'd just hung my guitar on the spirit sky and let Him play..
Anyway, I think the encounters we all had are different and indescribable... actually also coz i do not have much vocabs in my dictionary.. haha and i gotta rest for work tmr.. =)

:[ Season 4 ]:
Michael Scofield is back in Prison Break 4!! I caught the first 2 episodes back to back immediately.. Cant wait for it to air on TV.. Cant stand those adverts cutting in when the plot gets exciting.. So be the first to catch in on the internet.. =)
He escaped out of prison with his innocent brother in season 1
Than he was on the run in Season 2 and ended in a much worst prison
So he escaped again from that prison in Season 3
So what's next in Season 4?? On the run around the world? Or another prison escape?.. maybe a detention barack in spore and our manhunt would be exciting.. =p
But gotta give it up for those hollywood writers to come up with fresh ideas.. Its no secret. Instead of breaking out, now Michael Scofield and gang gotta break into the baddies high security buildings and offices to retrieve datas to bring them down..
Catch them! they are the best thing that ever happen on TV.
Well im the devil for saying this.. I hope there wont be an end to all in Season 4. I hope there will be a Season 5
=)
