This advert's been going on for quite awhile and i have no choice but to post it up. Seriously, it's hilarious. You know something that makes you laugh non-stop though others don't find it that funny? This ad is it for me. hahaha. Damn, cadbury has good marketers. CADBURY, HIRE ME AS YOUR INTERN.
In any case, i just came back from worship practice. The whole thing looked like a failure from the start. No bassist could make it, no keyboardist, just the drums and 2 guitars. But God does work wonders, this Sunday's worship is going to be great. There's a saxophone too. Beat that.
Till then.

System Back Online
With the projects and presentations finally done, i decided it was about time i entertained this page again (lest i regret in future with lesser stuff to read up on). It's been a long time since i last logged in that i had problems trying to remember my password on blogger, logging in successfully only after like 3 attempts. For a moment there, i honestly thought blogger had kicked me out of their database and that i had to move on to like livejournal or something. Thankfully that wasn't the case. And in case you were wondering, no i haven't been using twitter which could be the reason for the lack of update.
Basically, some pictures to tell the story.
This has got to be my favourite-st picture from the wedding
This comes in as a close second.
Then a picture with the skillful ben and rach.
This was mambo night, can't remember when, but the "whole" TP was there. "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down!"
Not forgetting the drinks
This was the kelong trip right after mambo (literally, leaving like 2 hours after coming home) where i got like a million bedbug bites from. Thank God i decided to wear underwear to sleep or things could have turned out worse.
At the kelong (The sun was treacherous)
Snorkel Snorkel Snorkel
And all the hype that was going on since the start of the year, the musical itself. It was such a success and we couldn't have done it without the help of everyone. Late nights, rehearsal after rehearsal, early saturday mornings to record the tracks, and who could forget ARS! Glory to God.
The "everyone" of 17 year old virgin
The friends who came along
Drum setup on actual day
A few days later on July 7th, i was forced to turn 19. Some friends came over with a really innovative cake as you can see. No doubt it was a cake; CARROT CAKE.
The picture we took at the carpark before we left for supper. It was the first time Niki drove i think, and rach taking the other wheel as usual. The guys here suck (including myself), more and more of the girls are getting their licenses while none of us guys have one. Times are seriously changing.
Teochew porridge buffet for nuo's birthday like 2 days later. Nuo: "7th, 9th, 21st. All odd numbers so you won't forget. " July Babies Ftw.
Blurrrrr.
Down to kallang macs after the buffet (Yea what pigs. No we didn't eat again. But i would have considered if there was shaker fries then. Damn it, they should so make it a permanent item on the menu right?!?!). I like how rach tries to give an illusion she's in the air, and nuo doing her run-jump pose with such enthusiasm.
This was the Business school awards ceremony. That's our course manager in the middle, and my mum peeking out on the left.
Then came Adriel's 19th, which was such a great surprise. RIGHT?! Thai express seriously does birthday dinners really well. A present is included for the birthday boy so there is no need to get him anything else.
Why there isn't a need for the new black. Marketing Brotherzxzxz siol.
So, life for the past month or so. July's been great, despite it being a scare as i looked at it on my planner back then in June. The musical, the project submissions, the presentations, the tests and the birthdays which i thought would have to take the backstage. Thank God everything's over, but thank God it happened as well. End of July, hello August. My planner says end-sem tests and semestral exam. My optimistic side speaks church family carnival, national day, and allowance for the new month! HAHA.
The band is finally doing something productive at a high def studio that God blessed us with. It honestly isn't easy having to commit to things like school and church, and at the same time hope to do something with a band despite it being something you love, cause no matter what, it has to be secondary compared to all the other commitments. But on the other hand, i do believe passion supercedes all of those. Then comes vision, which the whole band has to look towards. Brings about a whole new bag of problems. Still, do expect something. =)
The studio where they gave me 10 channels for a simple 4 piece setup. 3 channels for the bass drum. Should have gotten a picture of the really complicated mic-ing.
And the fatigue that set in.
I suppose that's all for now. Oh wait, have you guys seen the latest cadbury advert? Omg, when she takes out the balloon, the expression on her face together with her twitching hands to make that sound, hilarious. I go crazy right there and then.
