Hey all.

It's been a very long time since I've last blogged, aye ?

Ever since the holidays came, I've done nothing but spend quality time with good buddies.
Been skating, jamming, drumming, rotting, and so much more !

I did feel an obligation to write many a time, but I always ended up doing something else lol @.@"

Firstly. I shall talk about. GANGSTERS.



*************************************************************************************
GANGSTERS
*************************************************************************************

One day, my friend decided to go to the arcade to practice his drumming with Drummania.
So there he was, drumming away happily, when suddenly, a group of people entered.

So Drummania being Drummania, attracted people to the sides to check out the player's skill.
And suddenly, this chow ah beng ( Which shall be known as CAB ) pushed his CAB buddy to my friend, trying to knock him over.

But WATAH !

MY FRIEND IS AN AIKIDO MASTA ! TOEEEEEEE YARRRRRR.
So they failed.
lol.
Suckers.

But they didn't stop there !
They gathered, and put together what little brain they have to form ... HALF A BRAIN !
They thought :" HOW CAN WE MAKE HIM BUAY SONG US AND GIVE US AN EXCUSE TO * try to * BEAT HIM * and possibly die in the process due to our wimpy GANGster lifestyle * "

Then CAB A said to the others.
" I ... I tried to play it once before. I .. I think that we can increase the speed by pressing those two buttons together ! If the notes come down faster ... it MUST mean that the song is faster and harder to play, right ? "

* CAB B * " YAYA ! I agree ! I always see CABs acting pro with super fast songs ! Remember that day at .. "

* CAB C * " YA OK ! We shall go with that idea. "

So mustering all their courage * and it must have taken hours for them to muster this much courage * and using all the balls they have * sadly, they only form 2, when combined together *
They took my friend by surprise and increased the speed.

Accomplishing their mission, and hoping they would get beaten, they ran back and giggled like crazy schoolgirls * Sorry Girls. I mean those .. very ... You get what I mean. *

Somehow, my friend tolerated all these, and just continued the game. But he knew the CABs were not appeased till they saw songs that fried their brains and made them confused.

So, he proceeded to the harder songs.
And yes, their brains got fried. Brains fried ... pants wet ... Yes. CABs.

Apparently, they were trying to impress the CALs that were with them. ( Should be able to get it aye ? If you haven't figured it out, it's Chao Ah Lian. )

All the excitement got to the CALs too, who proceeded to disturb my friend.

" Hello, can I have a chair ? "
" Erm, miss. There are alot of chairs around you. Why dun you get those ? "
" No no, I want the one you're sitting on "
" ... "

Well. If that's what they do for entertainment ... I dun really wanna imagine what they do in their everyday life.

After my friend told me his encounter with the Beings of lesser intelligence, it got me thinking.

Hey, I've heard of stories of gangSTERS. PROPER. DECENT. PEOPLE. WHO WORK.
Though in a different way from ours.

In the past, Gangsters were PROPER people. I'm not saying their the best people in the world, but they had morales and decent standards.

One gangster probably had enough balls for 10 men ( which is like .. 20 balls ? )
And the could probably break durians with their punches. The extremely thorny ones.

Yes. They were men with guts. They lived life on the edge, and they DEFINITELY. Did NOT. Need to disturb people to impress chicks.

Nor do they need to be in a gang to do so.

They could single handedly go into battle and walk out alive.

But what has happened to the once powerful GANGSTERS ?!

From Gangsters, it has become gANGSTers, to GANGsters.
Sad. If an Old School Gangster were to see them GANGsters nowadays, I think he'd commit suicide. Oh, the shame he will feel.

( Especially when the CALs aren't that much of a catch. CABs dying to impress CALs which aren't much of a catch ? Sad. Saaaaad desperate lives. )

OH WELL. Tis a generalisation.

















Ok not really. ABs are ABs. But there's a reason why CABs are called CABs, and not ABs.

And CALs, not called AL.

Now, to my next topic. Living my life to the fullest.


*************************************************************************************
LIVING MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST
*************************************************************************************

As of late, I'm starting to realise something.
I haven't been living my life to the fullest.

YK once told me that he thought my life was rather interesting.
I have Kendo, skating, drumming, going out with friends.
That I'm rather active.

And I thought to myself :" Am I ? "

That was awhile ago, but suddenly, I thought of what I've done so far, and I felt a sinking sensation.

Some questions that popped into my mind.

" IFS "

" Outing with friends "

" Music "

IFS, stands for Imaginary Friends Studios.
It is rather famous, and I guess one of the more well known things they have made is the DOTA loading page.

YES ! THOSE HEROES ?
SO COOL RIGHT ??

IFS made'em. Yuuuuup.

And I as a designer haven't even heard of'em until later on. In fact, I only found out in Sem 2.
Chats with teachers, and companies mentioned.
I hardly knew any.
Cept for DISNEY ! WOHOOO WE ALL NEED A HEALTHY DOSE OF MICKEY MOUSE, YES SIREE !!

But the point is.
Why do I know nothing, when everyone else has done research of sorts ?
Is this a show that I lack passion ? Or interest ?
Or the drive to go search up and improve by myself ?

OUTING WITH FRIENDS.

Though I do go out with friends. I rarely get to do so. They have been understanding, very, actually. And these efforts are noted and appreciated. But surely I can do something about it ??
Work harder, work faster, work smarter ... There must be SOMETHING I'm not doing.

I would like to contribute to the continued growth of the beautiful friendships I have.
Can't bear to lose any of'em.
Dear friends I have.
And I intend to treasure them.

MUSIC !

Such an important part of my life, and yet something I spend so little time on.
How often do I drum ?
How much do I know any the history ?
What are my contributions to the band ?
Am I a liability, or a bonus to the band ?



All these point out something.
And it's as obvious as a soccerball stuck in my throat.

I HAVENT LIVED MY LIFE TO THE FULLEST.

Have I lived as if there's no tomorrow ?
Do I give my all in everything I do ?

No ... No ....

I MUST IMPROVE.
I must work hard so I can have time to spend with my friends.
I must give quality work.
I must not procrastinate too often !

... Once in awhile is ok. It's good for the soul =x lol

BUT STILL !

I must be a better person.
A better son, a better friend, a better leader, a better follower, a better student, a better teacher, a better listener, a better speaker ... I MUST BE THE BEST THAT I CAN BE AND EVEN MORE.

And I humbly ask God to give me the strength and motivation to do so.
God, please save me. Bring me through this, and make me a better person than I can ever become by myself. AMEN !








*************************************************************************************
*************************************************************************************
And my last topic. What I like about the Confession of Faith.



*************************************************************************************
THE CONFESSION OF FAITH ( It's a religious thing )
*************************************************************************************

I just found out something beautiful and often taken for granted today in Church.
The Confession Of Faith.

" We believe in the Lord, the giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father......... "

That one.

Have you ever noticed how the whole church says it in unison ?
The faster will pause for the slower, the slower will speak faster, pauses will happen, speeches will be increased in speed. Everyone follows the Priest's lead.

Beautiful :)

Why ??

.

Because everyone's there for each other.
Like Friendship.
If you fall behind, we will help you up. If we dun, we will at least stop and wait for you to get up.
If everyone's in front and you're too far behind, you will run ahead to catch up with the other.

Friendship.
Religion.
Humans.
My Faith.


The World is beautiful. Life IS Beautiful. It's just some asses in it that screws it up.

So the next time you wanna say the world is a horrible please.
Please rephrase it.
The world is beautiful. It's just the people in it that aren't.

Take care everyone :)
