Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

The Off The Wall album was my first introduction to MJ and that i believe was somewhere in 1979 or 1980. I was like 10 or 11 then and i would dance to his songs @ some house parties that we would always have. The two songs i still love from the album is 'Off the Wall' and 'Rock With You' which i recently tried to sing with my friend Rob. The song still rocks. Of course, the Thriller album just blew everyone away and five years later, he released Bad!! After which, the whole black or white thingi came and i guess I didn't really dig him that much after that.


But still the man will be missed by myself and millions across the globe. The man is a legend and no one will come close. The music these days just don't add to what it used to be. So thanks for the music, moonwalk and everything else!! Rest In Peace!!

Transformers 2

I watched Transformers 2 twice and counting... It's such an awesome movie that u just wanna watch over and over again; and the soundtrack rocks, and of course there's always Megan Fox!!!!




I never thought much about Optimus Prime but after this movie I am like whoa!! This is Prime at his best!!!! So go and catch it, it's worth your every dollar!!!!

Pieces - Sum 41

I tried to be perfect, but nothing was worth it
I don't believe it makes me real
I thought it'd be easy, but no one believes me
I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own.

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don't know how it got so bad
Sometimes it's so crazy
That nothing can save me,
But it's the only thing that I have.

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own.

On my own.

Ahh!

I tried to be perfect it just wasn't worth it
Nothing could ever be so wrong
It's hard to believe me
It never gets easy
I guess I knew that all along.

If you believe it's in my soul
I'd say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show
That I'm trying to let you know
That I'm better off on my own.

live and let die...

found out something over the weekend that made me realize that i have been a fool all along. why must everything so right just turned out wrong. guess what i wished for will never happen.. not in this life. yes, i'll be alone as always. . . . i am just getting old and i should just fade away. live and let die...

AF 447

"Millvina Dean, the last remaining survivor of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, died in a care home in England, media reports said. She was 97. Elizabeth Gladys Dean, known to friends as Millvina, was only nine weeks old when the liner hit an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean on the night of April 14, 1912, and sank killing 1,500 people.


Born on February 12, 1912, Dean was the youngest passenger on board. At the time, RMS Titanic was the most luxurious, most technically advanced and largest passenger liner in the world.She was dubbed "unsinkable", but it took just two hours and 40 minutes for her to disappear into the icy waters of the Atlantic after striking an iceberg at 11:40 pm on April 14."


Well, a day after the last titantic survivor dies in England, an Air France flight AF 447 goes missing. And it's strange coz even with the state of the art equipments that we have now, the plane is nowhere to be found. The pilot is an experience one and the plane is built to withstand the heaviest storm, so what might have happened to the plane is still a misery. My only guess is it may have drifted way off course. . . all we need now is a miracle and everyone is still safe. In GOD we trust!!!

Pesach IV









we had pesach iv on saturday and i guess it was the best of the three years, considering the fact the sound was still in a mess the day before and the day itself; but thanks to eugene and sebastian for helping out otherwise things wouldn't have gone smoothly. also thanks to jamie who brought to mind that technicalities do happen so what we have is what we gonna work with. so in the end, it worked well.... and it was 90 mins of pure energy from project jesus and the combined choir.


i was in two minds about helping out in the sound aspect of it as i felt that i have lost touched and the hang of it. working on a 24 channel 'tecman' and 16 channel 'yamaha' was nerve wrecking at first when the monitors speakers keeping creating feedbacks that almost blew our eardrums. i would like confess that i never good at monitor speakers hence i took a back seat while sebastian helped to sort out the monitors problems and it worked. eugene sorted ut the wireless problems and it worked. so during the performances, i was praying hard that i won't screw anything up and let everybody down.


but thank god, everything went well and everyone was happy!!! thanks again to eugene, sebastian, jr and jamie for helping me out; not forgetting dominiq for sorting the organ problem out. .. oh yes, i got a momentum from pesach iv, a bruise on my right arm... knocked my arm against one of the pews and the scar is still there. =p


i guess i would officially retire from sound as the heart can't take the pressure and stress level. i would like to apologies to my friends if i was a bit cranky. it was a difficult week for me and this foolish heart of mine has started playing games with me again but that's another story. =p
