New guitar!

Wahaha ! dream come true !

Got a electric guitar as my birthday present ! so thank you to my brother ! And also thanksgiving to God ! for blessing me with such a good guitar !

Althought its not really some branded guitar like fender, but it plays and sound quite up to fender's strats..Its a strats copy anyway. Let me show ya the pic!

There ! My strats copy !

I'm looking for some stuff to paste on it ! Not inlays, but on the body..But anyway, i'm looking for custom pickguard, especially for my strats copy, since its not a genuine fender Lonestar..haha !

Need to do a full setup, since there's a little buzzing.

I kind of miss it, since I lent it to JJ because he kinda need it for some event..argh ! I want to do solos now !! :(

It kind of really rock but also plays classic and acoustic..Kinda got myself a good deal. $235 for this guitar and Amp also, which is a Kustom Dart FX10, see below !



It goes really loud. -,-. Can't take the overdrive volume !!

Anyway, here it is. And I realise tremolo wasn't that fun anyway..haha !

Barre Chords Part 2

Hi People ! I'm not here to rant about how I can't bar, but I'm here to rant about how much I can bar ! LOL

Ever since the last update, I've definitely been playing with barre chords. And God knows, I actually mastered it !

Last time, I used to play Avril Lavigne song, and it was pretty hard, why ? It was hard not playing it, but it was hard finding the easy version of chords. But now, nah ! LOL. I can just play directly :D

Man. It was surely a great breakthrough in guitar. And on this, I really hope I can serve God via guitar. I can surely be a good guitarist if anyone needs me :P

A TOAST TO BARRE CHORDS ! :D

Picking Up

Life sometimes are just so like that. And I got something to quote !
"Life is like a box of chocolate..You never know what you're going to get!"

Man~ That is so true. But who knows, I've God as my backer. Anything that comes my way definitely doesn't really affect me, and I proclaim it with faith :)

Some people told me that a joyful person like me, life is like a bed of roses, never unhappy but always in the fantastic land of Teletubbies. But then again, they also say if any thing were to come my way, I'll never fall, but I'll overcome it.

But also again, that's pretty true. But it couldn't be more true than having Christ as my backer now. LOL. I'm even stronger than I was before :)

No life is a bed of roses. And no matter what comes my way, I'll hold strong to the commandment and face it. HA ! Sounds fake and just trying to impress ya ? Just you see :)

If I ever were to fall, thats where I'll leave God. Which is really just as impossible as you think I will fall. That is because I will break my convenent of finishing the race and going back to Heaven and hug Him. Duh.
----

Now. For my result :D
(this is the result for my end-year but not my avg mark. Because the avg mark has pulled down because of my earlier year slackness and not convicted to study.)

English - 70 (top.)
Math - 73 (Miracle !)
Science - 88 (top.)
EBS - 81 (top.)
Chinese - 40 (Miracle !)
CPA - 79 (2nd/3rd)

Shall not list things like art which is redundant. Anyway, thats about it. Now Let me list the grade.

English - A2
Math - A2
Science - A1
EBS - A1
Chinese - F9
CPA - A1

And yup. Pretty impressing ya ? My aim was - 5 A1 & 1 F9. Got 3 subject topped ! :D

Pretty dissapointed but it was a good one. Really worked hard and study. Now thats what I called working to the best ! And hopefully God was glorify in my academic result :D

Now again. I can't believe I got 40 for chinese ~ I actually expected an 20 or something..lol.

I just wanna give thanks. All my result and these, I owned it all back to God. If he didn't gave me a brain, I wouldn't get these result. :D

So Much for a Birthday. :)

Hi All! I'm so completely happy on my birthday ! Yay. This morning, I had a quarrel with my mom ! yay. And yes. Ha! I'm so happy.
---- (that was some sarcasm. Now is the start of my ranting.)

Now. If you're so reluctant or troubled to celebrate my birthday then don't celebrate my birthday. Its just 5 minute of extra sleep and you're going go around ranting in the house and saying how hard it was for you to raise me and stuff like that. If you don't like it then don't raise me. Kill me then ! Why leave me alive to live this miserable life. I wanna find my Jesus sooner.

Everytime you're just like that. Just want a few minute of sleep and you start going ranting like how much I was a trouble to you and stuff like that. If taking child was a trouble, then no parent is ever happy ! I also never asked you to treat me like a prince or what. If you're going to blame me for become so dependent, then BLAME IT ON YOURSELF. @#$()#&_@*%*@#_.

You said 8th position in class was nothing. If it was so easy, THEN GO AND STUDY FOR ME ! Study ain't easy. It ain't easy with a guy with a small brain of 95 IQ. It ain't easy with all the ministry around. It ain't easy at all. It ain't easy when I'm struggling to go school every day. You'll never understand me. If everything was so easy I will proclaim myself as God. I don't need Jesus anymore ! No ! The fact that I have all this is because Its all my weakness. And that show I need God !

What is wrong with me believing in God ? What is wrong with committing in ministry ? Why IS EVERYONE GETTING THE WRONG IDEA OF CHRISTIANITY !! Its not a going church thing ! Its a COMMITMENT THING ! WHY WHY WHY !! DON'T EVER FREAKING PLAY WITH CHRIST !! Its not like a hotel where you can come and go !!

Anyway. Thank you. You made my birthday Memorable.

To my "very good" Mother
Ben.

Life just like that. Even on my Happiest Birthday ever. :)

Its okay. I'll stick with the fact that Jesus loves me and will always because He does not change like shifting shadows. That is the only thing I can be secure with.

Barreee~

I'm sick and done with Bar chords !

Been practicing this barre chords for hours and its just so hard ! One thing that I just can't realize is that everytime I barre ~ any fret ~ The 3rd/G string just doesn't ring ! Its really weird !

Tried to move my index finger up and down around to see if it does ring instead it make the 4th/D string doesn't ring too ! Really don't know if its my guitar action too high or I have crooked finger ! LOL

One thing I know its that I was actually able to barre all of them in the past ~ Which is actually quite funny ~ People with crooked finger can barre too ! Which comes down to this guitar problem ~ I really think it got to do with the guitar action ! Too high :(

Who can help me with this barre chord thing ?! Argh ! I'm being impatience here actually ! LOL ~ Heard that this thing can only be master within a month or so unless you have real potential that within a week which I really think I don't LOL!

Just pray for me alright ~ Once bar chords is master many other worship song will be open up :)

World's End

Had an really scary dream !! I'm scared out of my wits ! Its not an horror dream but~ its something that really~ freaks me out

Hi people ! Just woke up! Any wonder why I~ Ben can wake up so early ? I had an really bad dream ! Share with you guys~

Begins in a way which there were disunity all over brothers and sister (Yeah~ I mean church settings) !! And we were all quite ~ disunited yup!

I can't seems to remember all of them but the really scary part is ~ Singapore is infected with a zombie virus ~ Which is causing everyone to become really zombie~ So guess what the brilliant GOV does ?

They seperated the infected people from the uninfected~ (Oh by the way ~ Those infected~ which is me~ don't even turn into zombie or became sick~ But we know we're infect ! Thats funny)

So what is so scary here ? I got seperated from my own brothers~ Its so scary that I was tearing literally !! I found myself to be on full of tears when I woke up anyway~ Lets continue on

Basically~ its not just Singapore but the whole world ~ So they're seperating everyone in the whole world which is infected~ and they'll put the whole bunch of infected people in a rocket and send them into outer space ~ After that it will explode ! How scary !

Well~ Not need to be scared cause I know I'm already saved~ Not waiting to be saved ! But what is so scary ?? Simply to put it - I'm seperated from my own beloved brothers ! But I know I'm really grateful for one thing~

David is infected with me :) And yes ~ I mean David Sentosa ! In the dream~ He is the one who got me infected by scratching me !! Argh David !! LOL~ But I guess David would be feeling the same as me - Which I can regrat this called "Loneliness"

Know whats the most memorable scene ?? All infected people are to go Jurong East and Uninfected to go marina Bay~ So basically ~ We're all to sit mrt~ I still can remember ~ Joshua & DK & some other misc Sisters~ Oh ! And Wan Ting ! Because I went to the gantry to fetch her up ! We were all waiting for the last train to go to the destination we're suppose to

So the scene is pretty sad ~ me and David went into the train and after that the Door close ~ After that the train went kind of~ Should I say matrix speed ? I was reaching out to them~ Tearing and shits ! The most sad was I'm seperated from my shepherd !! :(

Conclusion of the Day : God has already saved us from the greatest misery we can ever have ~ That is eternal Death~ All day long we've faced death~ But God has saved us and displayed his great love by sending Jesus down~

---

Althought Its just a dream~ Its etched painfully to my heart~ Sorry to those whose is not mention in this dream ! But I still loves you guys :) ! Don't worry ! We can always re-act this dream and include you guys :)
