In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sanctus. Amen.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, how has your day been so far?

I will be ORDing next month! On the 22nd, I will pick up my pink IC at Bukit Gombak and become a free citizen. Well, as free as a Singaporean can get anyway. (Hahaha, Dex! December, right? Hahaha, Joe... Next year, right? HAHAHAHA *EVIL LUFFTA*)

Anyhow, I am broke for the moment. Even had Suelynn to offer me a drink on Saturday after Sonic Edge. Thanks for the drink, SL, and for the oyster omelette as well. I don't usually say this but DONATIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! Haahahahahaahahaa... Varient, you live in such a big house, man! I can offer to preserve your youth by taking some nudies of you... heh!

Pearlyn and Terence are currently looking out for apartments in Melbourne for my stay from next year onwards. I don't really know whether I should stay alone or stay with roomies. Staying alone means I am in control of everything, but I will miss out on "apartment fellowship". I know that staying alone is not as healthy as staying with others. Milton and Dex had plans to go over to Melbourne for school too, but it seems they have run into application problems. Well, if you guys happen to get some good news from RMIT, consider sharing apartment with me? I guarantee you good Japanese food everyday! (I can hear all the salivating already! Especially from those who cannot partake in my cooking.)

Gear: Pioneer EFX-500 audio effector for DJs
Comment: I had wanted this effector for a while when I first started DJing. Now that I've finally got (for free!) I find it a little more redundant than I thought it would be. It's not bad. 10 different types of effects and you can mix and match some of them to get 25 different sounds... really good for the cutting edge DJ. FOR SALE! SGD650.00 - E-mail: genshi@awake.com.sg

Cuisine: Cap'n Crunch (Red Box)
Comment: This is what I have for breakfast everyday. It's sweet, crunchy, and very well-known... Hands up anyone of you who hasn't tried it? I'm mentioning it now because my mum just bought me 3 boxes of Cap'n Crunch to last the week.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sanctus. Amen.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, how has life been for all of you so far? Today, VLT has inspired me to update me blog constantly by the way of her constant blabbering about my ego and her insistence that she is not a VLT of a P. But really, look at her! So liminal! (Go figure.)

Was sleeping in camp the whole day - from 8am to 5pm - again. Life in camp has become more or less suitable for such mundane tasks as sleeping. I'm still amazed at how Sonic Edge turned out the last weekend. It pretty much reminded me about the Sonic Edge KL all over again. Like the time when Surreal was playing in Bangsar, when they were so tired and all, it seemed as though they were going to collapse any minute. In this Sonic Edge, it wasn't the tiredness, but rather the unpreparedness for the worship set. In both cases, things look very shaky, but also in both cases, the Holy Spirit was really there... behind the bands. I'm so very glad with Joe's testimony too. He is really a source for encouragement, not just for myself, but for many others who came that night. Kudos to you my brother!

Recently, I find myself thinking more and more of my time in Melbourne next year. I'm really looking forward to it because I'm finally getting serious about my life. I imagine myself spending the next 5 years or so there... and even now I'm considering if I should continue to live there after my studies. God is great!

REVIEWS THIS WEEK
+++++++++++++++++

CD: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Requiem"
Artists/Performers: Carlo Maria Giulini et al
Comment: What can I say? If I had a funeral, I'd want a choir and a funeral to perform the Requiem in all it entirety. Donutboy, you know what I mean! This is the very work from the Classical Period that redefined the Baroque styles. Go listen to this. It doesn't matter if you like classical music or not. You will still like this! HAHAHA!

DVD: Schindler's List
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes
Sypnosis: Oskar Schindler is a vain, glorious and greedy German businessman who becomes unlikely humanitarian amid the barbaric Nazi reign when he feels compelled to turn his factory into a refuge for Jews. Based on the true story of Oskar Schindler who managed to save about 1100 Jews from being gassed at the Auschwitz concentration camp. A testament for the good in all of us. Favourite line: "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire." This film reminds me of how a sinner, who is so corrupted and morally unstable, can change into a selfless patron when he/she realises the mistakes in his/her life. To recognise your failures is to recognise your strengths too, I believe.

Anyway, that's all for now... Will continue to update constantly this blog. It may be boring now, but wait till the next one... I'll try to be more interesting.
