More Tommy Emmanuel

This is suppose to be Classical Gas, but ended up with some comedy... **Classical Gas was kind of made popular by the violin-wielding chic Vanessa Mae some time ago...




This is the actual Classical Gas. Get ready to be blown away.




Fuuyoooo fuuyoooo

Season's Greetings

Have a good holiday. Cheers.

Pain....

I fell off a ladder today. It was a shocking experience. Those who know, I have a back condition. I thought I had it man.... the first thing I checked was my back. Then my legs.... ok... all can move.... then I walked to the toilet, sat on the toilet bowl and took a quick look at the damage. Scrapes..... more scrapes... stings.... then my toe felt strange.... took a closer look.... crap... the nails broken. Owww......

The nail came off... as in separated from the flesh but still intact. It wasn't painful at first 'cos of the shock... but try now. It's crap pain man. All the time. Pressed it to let the blood out.... yup... blood came out with some juice... The scrapes in my right leg stung crazy when poured water on it. Like woohoooo....... Strange that the part where your shin is.... if you scrape it, it hurts like hell. More than any where else on your body. I wonder if it's because of the leg hair.... hmm... Later went to the doc and got it wrapped up.... Now it looks like this...



It was a good thing I didn't hurt my back. That would be the end. Strange that I landed on my left foot but didn't hurt the back.... somehow my left hand cushioned the whole fall cos it was grabbing the door but left a long abrasion under the arm. My right hand though... had some wounds. I don't really know how I got them. Check it out....



It feels worse than it looks... cos the wounds are at the "in-between" your fingers... the vulnerable and sensitive areas. Stim.....

This really sucks.

It's All The Same?? Cool....

For all Hillsong fans - this is for you. If you're an electro-guitar dude(-ette)... check this out. This is my first time posting a youtube vid on my site. If it doesn't happen... well.... bummer.



This vid is called Transplanting Riffs.... we have 3 songs here (Evermore, Solution and The Time Has Come)... but they all use the same riffs. I think it's real neat.

Kudos to GuitarPraise

Cheers.

Tommy Emmanuel

Watching Tommy Emmanuel's live concert at Sheldon Concert Hall. It's a 2 part VCD... to which I had only the 1st part... and not long ago a friend passed me the 2nd part.

So, it's like...... HOLY CRAPPP!!!!!!

Alien....

I wonder if King David played the harp like that in those days....

Totally Insane.

Monk and Neagle

Sweet sweet sounds. You have got to check out Monk and Neagle. I'm just chillin' with their latest album now... wow..



This is their 2nd album and its so NICE! Check out their website at www.monkandneagle.com or I think you can just click the pic up there.

Nice nice nice.... lyrics and music are spot on... and.... errr..... nice?

Nice. Can't say enough....

My Favourit-est Stick

These are my most favoured pair of sticks. The gorgeous Vater Studio. They are the best. They are the extension of my hands. The sound they make are so.... crispy.... so musical. And they are so so so light. But they are deteriorating. And worse... I can't find a replacement. NOOOO!!!!!!! NNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

They are so hard to find. I've asked my regular supplier and he can't get them. Has anyone seen this in any store in Malaysia???!!!! Please help!!!!

If you found them.... let me know..... desperate.

Daddy's Biscuit...

Suppose to be doing some work now... but in the end, just too damn lazy and it's really late to be using my brains. And also... I'm hungry. So, since I'm also lazy to cook me some maggi mee... it's biscuits la jo. And the only biscuits that could do the job well is none other than the world famous Julie's Peanut Butter sandwich! Mmmmmm.... yeah.



I found out from my wife that Sean referred to it as "Daddy's biscuit", when he sort of "came accross" it the next room.... hmm..... so much for hiding it... but yeah... he said... "Mummy... daddy's biscuit." Yup... it's daddy's biscuits alright. Better don't mess with them.

Okay... back to eating... mmmm....

Quik Newz

Here's some quick updates.

A family friend just passed away. After a long battle with cancer she has succumbed to the deadly disease. She's now in a better place with the Lord. I last saw her about 2 weeks ago... was servicing her PC. She was also my brother tuition teacher once. How fragile life is. Well... hope that the entire family pulls through with the hope that one day they will meet again in Heaven.

On another note... yes... I do PC sales and service - freelance.

Next... we have moved church. We're now in a new phase of our lives. I'll be playing again soon.... with a new Yamaha Stage Custom...YESSSS!!!! And new Sabian AAX cymbals.... YESSSSS!!!!!! Muahahaha. Hopefully my wife will start singing soon too...

Raya is 2 days away... no I'm not celebrating Raya but will be away for a family vacation. Nice. Now hopefully it doesn't rain all day...

Now... I need new sticks... sigh... things are really expensive nowadays...

Well.... that's it....

Drums... Yeah!

Somebody please give me a drum kit. I want this one. It must be a Yamaha.... in fact any Yamaha will do... but must be a Yamaha... they're hot.

The Hero and the Sidekick

hmmm... do they look alike? I really can't tell.

There's A Bigger Picture...

Just when you thought otherwise...

"When God looks at the center of the universe, he doesn’t look at you. When heaven’s stagehands direct the spotlight toward the star of the show, I need no sunglasses. No light falls on me."

"...Tapping the collective shoulder of humanity, He points to the Son – His Son – and says, “Behold the center of it all.”

"Perhaps our place is not the center of the universe. God does not exist to make a big deal out of us. We exist to make a deal out of him. It’s not about you. It’s not about me. It’s all about him."

Max Lucado

Washed Out

After 'seven' years, it's now time to write. I feel washed out. Completely. ineffective, useless, unmotivated... you get the picture. Life's challenges and battles wears you down fast and easy. Wish things can be easier and smoother. I wish I can do more and do less at the same time... ?... well, now that's strange. Y'know blogging is a drag.... why did I ever do it anyway... what a whiner I turn out to be.... irritating. Haven't done much with my life since end of last year... or since I last blogged. The New Year wasn't particularly new. Can life get more interesting this year? I wonder. New opportunities? New challenges? New problems? New irritabilities? New skills? New downloads? :) I'm such a pirate...But as with all pirates... we wish for things to be cheaper and easily accessible. That's why pirates exist, don't they?

Over time, I have 'lost' some friends.... as in lost contact, not-contacted, or disconnected.... ?... or just lost. I'm really not a social person, which only means what a lonely person I can become. So, due to turn of events I did lose some and gained some in return. But these turn of events are really an ass and I wish it didn't have to happen. But it did. Boo-hoooo... But I gained some nice and good friends... not many..."lonely... I'm so lonely...I have nobody..." y'know that Akon guy is weird... and really quite perverted.... Smack YOU! Back to friends... aren't they a blessing. So, over time, they come and go... and over time, I also keep remembering friends back from school... all of which I never kept in contact... I wonder why... now I AM such an ass... but I remember them, as if God wanted me to... and lo and behold... I'll just happen to bump into them days later... man it's really weird. It has happened 90% of the time. My wife tells me I must pray for them whenever they pop into my mind... cos I'm gonna meet them in a few days time... weird.... There's this one guy tho' I have been thinking of for the longest time. He was my hockey mate in primary school... he intro'd me to the game and we made it to the school team. Nice chap. I have not bumped into him yet. I wonder why. All thru secondary school we hardly spoke cos we changed classes. He's Indian and he speaks fluent Mandarin... really cool. I'm really waiting to meet him. I will post an update when we finally do!

Ok... I'm done now. No mood already. That's all for my blog today.... I'm gonna continue feeling washed out for now... see you in seven years time! Muahahaha....
