Some thoughts

One thing I really dislike about the holiday is the air around me seems fresher, the road is less congested, there are less people around, it seems more quiet and relaxing. All this simple means it makes my mind think much more compared to when I'm stressed out or busy doing something. And I hate it cause I'm too young to be thinking too much.

Oh well, Happy Chinese New Year to those who are celebrating!

Was having a conversation with Adeline 2 nights back and she asked me a question which is always been on my mind, well, almost every night of my life. And coincidently, when I was watching One Tree Hill after my chat with her, Lucas ask/say the almost exact same thing as what she asked me.

"If you could go back and change just one thing of your life. Would you? But if you did, would that change make your life better? Or will that change ultimately change your heart? Or break the heart of another?"

For me, if I were to have that chance to change that certain situation, I would certainly do it. The problem is, I have too many things I would want to change from my past. This few days, thinking back of my whole life, I'm shocked by the amount of "bad" steps and choices I took. Basically, I screwed up my teenage life. I could have been alot happier now. I could've have a more "perfect" life. I could have avoided all those sleepless nights. I could've avoided hurting all those people whom I love and care about.

The thing is, these bad choices I made in my past is what made me who I am today. The sooner I realise I can't change any of my past, the sooner I will be able to move on. There are things I pray every night I would be able to let go off, and there are also things that I'm too afraid to ask God to take away, and that's what I'm afraid off.


Anyway here is a new song that I absolutely CAN'T stop listening to it every day and night. It is "Burn and fade away" by "Vega4". From what I think, it is a very, very beautiful song..

I believe we could have had it all
we could have shone like stars
we lost our way
everything has got to end sometime
we were satellites
drifting off into space
i'm alone in the rain
with a movie in my head
about a dream you were in
where we lost ourselves
burn and fade away again
burn and fade away again
burn and fade away again
for all time
we wished too hard on that
shooting star
that burned a hole in us
but left a trail in our eyes
i don't need anything
but to know you'll be alright
chase a dream, don't look back
where we lost ourselves
burn and fade away again
burn and fade away again
burn and fade away again
for all time x2

I'm afraid that I would stop loving you one day..my little miracle. Because I'm not ready to do so...

Funny advertisement by *updated* FOUR car giant.

The marketing manager of BMW sure has one hell of a sense of humour. When they decide to print an ad in the newspaper to "congratulate" their "good friends", and at the same time advertise themselves, and also "cha" them abit...this is what they came up!

I can imagine how the CEO of Audi feels when he sees this in the newspaper while trying to have his cup of coffee early in the morning.

And then, he calls up his marketing manager, which has also almost the same amount of sense of humour in him, but just a little bit more!

And they came up with this...


OWNAGE!!!

Thanks to Fazil, I have now 2 more advertisement to add in this post.

While those 2 jokers up there were fighting with each other, Subaru felt very left out. So to join in the fun, they created this advertisement:



Now we have BMW, Audi and Subaru participating in this "fight" of theirs, Bentley came up with a very "minimalist" and "subtle" advertisement to shut them all up once and for all...

















Ouch..


There is only so much I could love you, but my heart for you, is infinite.

AYA Festival, featuring SONICFLOOd

AYA Festival, 2nd - 3rd February at Bukil Jalil Indoor Stadium. Featuring SONICFLOOd and Altered Frequency

Yes, for those who don't know, there is AYA festival again this year from 2nd to 3rd February. For those who went to last year's AYA festival, they only have it for one day and they featured Delirious! Last year's one was amazing, it was simply one of the best concert I've been to in Malaysia. From the sound quality, to the lightings to the music, it was simply AMAZING! But that was last year, and last year they featured Delirious.

So, since this is their second year, of course they have to improve from last year. So they made it bigger, and better, and they called...SONICFLOOd all the way from USA!! This time they're having it for 2 days, 2nd and 3rd February, and there's a conference starting from 9a.m. tomorrow (3rd February). I'm lucky enough to be able to go tonight.

SONICFLOOd as expected, is very very good! They're music is good, they're lyrics is nice, and the musician is, well, what you expect from a US band, amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, both the music and the chance to make use of my camera! But sadly, they're sound engineer isn't as good compared to Delirious, didn't really like how they do their live mixing. BUT, don't get me wrong, is still good. For me, this is the second best concert I've been too after Delirious. Forget Planet Shakers or even Hillsongs, go and listen to SONICFLOOd, they're differently...good!

So for those who haven't go yet and reading this before 6.00p.m., Saturday, 3rd February. You still have time to start making your way down to Bukit Jalil indoor stadium! Doors open at 6.30p.m. and will start at around 7.00p.m.. Ticket is RM30, and it is WORTH IT!

48 channel of Allen & Health goodness. For those more geeky people, this is the Allen & Health ML3000 with 48+2 channel frame (Yes I counted), with 15 busses to play with with 8 VCA group. This is one huge arse live mixer!


Camera crew from ACTS Church. All their video equipments belongs to them, looks like they have a video/TV ministry in their Church call "ACTS TV", so rich! But they're much more professional compared to last year's video crew, which is from outside rental company.


Opening act, worship team from ACTS Church called ACTSTREAM. Hate to admit it but they're good. First song performed by them is "The Time Has Come" by Hillsong United, United we Stand album, they sound almost as good as Hillsong! Amazing!




Next up we have Altered Frequency, they performed songs from their new album. Sad to say they're disappointing, too rock-ish already, sounds very messy. But I still like them nonetheless.






Next we have Mia Palencia, a new local christian artist. Her version of the Sunday School song "Jesus Love me This I Know" is very very good!




And finally, we have SONICFLOOd!!!




















Believe it or not, he has some chronic sickness which is slowly taking his life away. And he can still stand infront of so many people to Praise and Worship the Lord!! Such great love for God..






Yes, that IS a Apple Mac Book Pro. Hooked up to his Keyboard, probably to have about a million more effects and sounds plugin?!

If you complain all the pictures look the same, yes I may agree, but I like each one of them. May look the same but I like the different colors and effect from the fog machine and moving heads in each picture.

As usual, please leave your comments, hopefully constructive comments. If you love it, let me know!; but if you hate it, well, if nothing nice to say, don't say la, unless you really hate me. But I really appreciate constructive criticism, and tips to help me improve! Anyway I'm just a noobbie.. =)

God has been very gracious to me this whole week, and the last. Never before have I felt His presence this strong and this close to my heart. All the while He is right beside me, giving me strength to help me go on, keep on encouraging me and help me look at the brighter sides of things. No doubt God is awesome, and I learn from all this that only God is my backbone, only God can help me through ANY adversities in life! He is too real to be denied!

Anyway someone asked me: "So you really do love her don't you?"
My answer: "Of course I do, I love her with all my heart!!; and I say this without a single doubt."
