I feel that my blog really needs updates. But I have been too busy especially with finals dawning on me. 2 papers are over and 1 more will be in the afternoon. Will put up a proper post after the exams. There's one already in the drafts. Expect tonnes of pics! Too many things have happened and it's gonna be one bomb of a post.
And it seems that if I do well in the finals. I do not have to finance my own set of double pedals. Any mid range pedals to recommend? I'm thinking of Gibraltar.
*edit* post is up!

A different side of life.
It's been a really long while since my last post. Guess I've not really had much time to spend online, as the finals are coming up next week. Feel pretty relaxed though..
Loads of things have happened since my last post, and I've gone through many changes. For one, I now found out that I can study some place else besides in the comfort of my room. I spend every single day waking up with a smile and looking forward to the new things the day will bring. Guess it's really been a while since things are like this. Despite the finals looming in 1 week's time, I still find time to do things I like and not just lock myself in the room 24/7.
Some of the highlights of the week would include my music performance at New Era college, stuffing myself at the Pasar Malam in Serdang and going around to random places to study with my girl.
The Performance at New Era
The performance at New Era went well. I have to admit I was pretty nervous, but soon got over my jitters after the first song I played. My girl tagged along and became my personal photographer.
The first song was the song composed by my friend and fellow ex-Disted coursemate Lim Sze Lin, entitled "Be An Angel". During the Fresh Bottle Recital night, he limited my playing to "as simple as possible". But during this time, I was allowed to go crazy with the song. And I thoroughly enjoyed that.
The next song was the song which had the highest audience ratings during the Fresh Bottle Recital night which was, Jian Tong Nian, written by Ghim Yao. This song had an encore performance both during the recital night, and in New Era.
I was also asked to add extra flavor to the song. And I did. I hope. Lol.
I can safely say we made our name there that day. Despite technical difficulties with the mike. More pics!
Pasar Malam in Serdang
Recently I discovered a pasar malam nearby to Cyberjaya. Well 20 mins is considered near over here. It was quite a pleasant surprise. By "pasar malam" I usually expect it to be shops selling cheapo toys and clothes. But this pasar malam was a food galore. Shin Wei and I went along with our friends Natalie and Chee Wen.
Nevertheless, I have to say we ate alot. And by we, I mean Shin Wei and I. We probably ate two times or three times the amount of Natalie and Chee Wen put together. Oh well.. The food included satay, some ice kacang thingy but with fruits, chai kuih, mua chee, chinese sausages, pancakes, and other foodstuff that I can't remember the names.
Definitely would want to go again. Pictures aren't available at the moment as they are all in Shin Wei's phone.

Study week was indeed fun to say the least.

All the craziness has come to an end.
The past few weeks have been crazy, with exams, assignment datelines, and nightly music practice. Not forgetting my concert. And now everything has come to an end, it feels so weird to feel so free. But then again, I'm not complaining.
The Fresh Bottle Acoustics Recital Night last night was a blast. Everything went according to plan, though I did screw up here and there, but managed to cover it up. One of the songs I played was popular enough to be requested for an encore performance, and needless to say, that was probably my best performance of the night. Though I was clad in super gay pink, my drum solo in the middle of the song went according to plan. I came up with the solo backstage to incorporate into the song. Failed the first time, but hit it during the encore. Man it felt good.
However the star of the evening could most probably be Kit Leong, with his violin solo. I sat in the crowd watching him perform, and cheering he got from the first note he played. Girls screamed when he played his solo. He had no facial expression whatsoever, but I bet he felt great.
Surprisingly handling all the workload felt like nothing. Probably because she was there with me almost the entire time.
The next obstacle left is finals. I'm not too worried.

The wild ride.
These couple of weeks has been a wild rollercoaster ride. I've gone pretty out of my mind, came to a standstill, and then thrown back into the fray with a sudden twist of fate. And I would not have it any other way.
The next couple of weeks are going to be stressful, but I still have a smile on my face. I doubt it's coming off anytime soon.

Earth Hour
Here I am sitting in the dark while my laptop is running on its batteries. Most of the lights in my home are off. However there some are running on a timer, so I have no idea how to switch them off. I look out my window, I can see my neighbours walking in the dark in their own homes. I guess most people are taking the initiative to join in on this particular hour in which we sacrifice a small part of our comfort to benefit and show our concern for the world.
Even shopping complexes are turning off their lights, leaving the necessary ones to allow people not to bump into each other. Radio stations going off the air. Everyone is playing their part.
Sitting here it makes me wonder, how many people out there do not care. I sure hope there aren't many.
