hello everyone!
merry christmas to all of you!!
well, getting presents and cards is nice and everything but remember the message from our puppet performance that day, christmas is about Jesus!!:)
well, i've got a cool xmas gift from my parents! it's a new electric guitar! (my old one got spoilt) it's a red les paul guitar, rally brand. $300. not a bad buy i guess. i shall use it the next time i'm playing guitar for PLH. if you thought my old black one looked nice, you'll be blown away by this one too!!!:)
wow can't wait for christmas to come! tmr can go church and give people their cards and gifts and stuff.
i decided to create a facebook account too lol. goodness knows why. nothing better to do then just decided to do one haha. i'm not gonna be very bothered with it cos i'm also not sure what i'm supposed to do with it haha.
well, liverpool are still top of the table at christmas after chelsea and everton drew that night, haha those two useless blue teams. we haven't been top of the table at christmas for quite some time so i guess that's good and it's proving to be a very exciting season for all reds fans!!! i was really so angry that night after the 1-1 draw with arsenal at their homeground cos we were matching them and i felt we should have gone on to win it, which just goes to show how much we've improved under rafa and how the expectation is really growing.
well, i can't think of anything else to say, except merry christmas and God bless us, everyone!

No Holds Barred
yeah the plh no holds barred camp was great!
after the rushed 2 weeks of preparation it turned out ok i guess.
first day actually not much except for the ice-breaker straw tower game and then at night we had the "looking back - 2008" session and the worship.
the worship was great!! almost everyone was jumping man! haha. my dad showed me the video and even ben kee was jumping while playing bass! haha. that means he's super pro man. jump and play at the same time very hard. i'm still working on it with the guitar haha.
woke up the next day feeling really sick. i think cos i didnt eat enough and not enough sleep. prepare until stress lol. felt nauseous and a bit feverish plus bad diarrhoea! i puked twice on the second day. once after breakfast and once after wrestling.
oh yes, the boys had a wrestling match again haha. i still participated even though i was sick. abit nuts but i thought just defend the title lah if not the rest wrestle for nothing lol. there were 6 of us competing. the first 2 in were jeremy and tim leong. 3rd in was jon chien. they pinned tim leong before i came in. i was 4th in, then zek 5th and tim goh 6th. i pinned jeremy then me, jon and tim ganged on zek to pin him first. then jon walked out of the match and i pinned tim to retain my title. haha. so i felt really sick so i skipped lunch and puked in the toilet.
after that was the amazing race. i still went out even though i was sick. i had to come back to church to use the toilet halfway cos i had diarrhoea lol. then went out to meet my group again.
anws at night was the christmas party dinner and we all wore our nice clothes! haha.
i was still feeling sick but i forced myself to eat so i won't have an empty stomach.
we had puppet performance by me, marie and michelle chia. it was ok i think although maybe i think i messed up some parts. we actually didn't rehearse haha.
then also had mime, i hate to put on the makeup. i think i was the only one not smiling for it haha.
well, all in all i think the camp was great and i hope all those who went enjoyed it.
now i'm just resting at home to get well, so i didn't go church today.
oh ya and the whole camp joe, shuan and i were addicted to this song. it's "i'd hate to be you when people find out what this song is about" by mayday parade. we kept playing it haha. i've got the lead parts quite right so can play the solo and riffs though it's not perfect yet. still working on it.:)
ok that's all byebye!

zack is back
yeah i'm back from my holiday!
my family went to kota kinabalu, which is in west malaysia. so we had to take a plane there.
it was pretty fun. got to relax properly.
we went shopping quite a lot. i bought 5 new shirts. 3 is for me to wear. one is for me to give away and one is for me to use as a doormat! hahaha!
we also watched bolt there. the total cost for the 5 of us in singapore dollars was $12! hahaha!! so guys, if u wanna watch cheap movies, go to m'sia! haha. bolt is a nice show btw. quite cool:)
yesterday was also esther's surprise birthday party. it was quite fun. she was really surprised.
well, planning for the PLH christmas retreat is on the way. lots of stuff to do this week. actually our youth comm this year has been operated very much on the basis of efficiency. reasonable results with less effort. haha. very much the way i survive in school. some people call it studying smart. i call it genius. haha just kidding:p
the Hastily Assembled Returns concert was good:)
started with a bang with my songs "eliminated". then "recess" which didn't sound as cool without a lead guitar.
then i went to the drums after playing the guitar.
"lady luck" by YC which some people said was nice.
"get loud" by renyi and "what about now" (daughtry).
then some chinese song which cheang sang.
afterwards was the solo performances.
renyi's one was good. YC's one was good.
"thunder" duet by cheang and renyi not so good. haha:p
then my solo. "don't know". that's the only song i was nervous about playing. but well i guess it turned out ok.
after that was the break where we celebrated cheang's birthday and gave him a taupok.
break over and it was "the moment..." by cheang.
"facade" and "don't call the cops..." by YC.
"baby you don't know what you do to me" by cheang. which i absolutely love playing drums for! actually i like playing drums for alot of our songs. like "facade" and "the moment..." haha.
then i went back to leading my songs for the last two. "crushes of a primary school boy" and ending with "you're no murderer, but you killed me inside".
then there were calls for an encore of my solo song "don't know". so i played it again. i didn't know so many people will like it haha. now it's stuck in some people like renyi's heads and people like M ask me to play it for them again. haha. i should write more songs like that. or maybe people just like acoustic songs. cos some of my acoustic versions of my rock songs are nice too. but these kinda songs need inspiration lah.. yay i like that song:):)
i liked the way we started with "eliminated". sounded so cool! lol.. to me at least..
"recess" needs lead guitar lah.. if not it doesn't sound as nice.
anws, videos better be up soon guys!!! can't wait to see the replay of the whole thing. haha...
we can have another gig next year after a-levels. lol.
yeah anws, that's about it. PLH christmas retreat this friday!! NO HOLDS BARRED!
booyah:)

hello
wow it's been a long time since i last posted. ok where should i start..
i went for my class CIP trip to batam. it was great! so fun haha. we went to paint an orphanage and played with the kids there. reminded me of the times that i went to myanmar and philippines for PLH trip. the kids are cute man. i played quite a bit with the boys. we managed to paint the orphanage and i think we did a pretty good job. then on the last night the guys in my class trashed our hotel room haha! we kept catching each other and did stuff like pour water and smash donuts in each other's faces. lol. in the end the hotel room was super dirty so we had to clean it up first. yeah i loved the batam trip:)
ok then last sunday was GIGS: November Rain! we played "don't forget the lyrics: PLH edition" haha it was quite fun i guess. i was the host for the thing. got quite alot of good feedback. so relieved that it worked out in the end. youth comm did a good job once again:) haha. well when i'm not inside next year it'll be good cos i won't be busy organising the games. but it'll be bad too cos i won't get to decide what fun games we play! haha.
i did my christmas shopping on monday and i bought all the stuff i wanna give to people. then me, shaun and michelle went to joe's house to play football with joe, jeremy and jordan. then joe lost his phone o.O think it was stolen by those people who were near there. then we had dinner and played halo on the xbox. the only person lousier than me was michelle hahaha.
yesterday we went to send huixian off to japan at the airport. it was fun cos we were saying and doing lotsa funny stuff haha.
today had concert practice again. hastily assembled returns concert next tuesday 9 dec at 2pm. if u wanna come just give me a msg. it's at jalan kelichap. (take bus 80 from kovan heartland mall. it's 4 stops away) i think it's gonna be not bad. cheang and renyi told me that lots of their friends have special request for "crushes of a primary school boy". so i get to play 4 of my songs at the concert instead of 3. lol. so i'm taking the first two and last two songs. wow if they like the crappy one on the CRYSIz blog which we recorded at 3am in YC's house then they'll definitely love the live one. haha.
oh ya last night i decided to start a new game on my gameboy for pokemon red version. i'm still using my gameboy colour (which is the oldest type of gameboy lol). since for the month of december i'll have nothing to do now that our trip got cancelled.. i just reached cerulean city (where you're supposed to get the 2nd badge). my pokemon team is now charmeleon, pidgeotto and pikachu. haha.
so for december maybe we'll organise a PLH camp. and maybe some of us will go to the zoo haha! the most just go out with the PLHers and hang out or something. anws i spent all my december allowance on christmas stuff cos i thought we'll be away from 12th-22nd so i won't need to use my money! but now the trip is cancelled i've got no money for those days! lol. if anyone knows where i can work for just two days and can earn about $60 please tell me. anyone's house needs cleaning or something? please ask your parents!! i need money if not i can't go out! and my allowance for this month looks like it's running short. lol. yup...
crap everytime i look at today's date it keeps making me think. i hate not being able to talk to people in person. one for 2 years and one for 8 months. feel like punching someone or something! actually no lah.. i don't feel so violent now. now i feel like doing some other stuff which doesn't have to do with punching. don't bother asking me what this is about. i won't tell you. ok maybe you can still ask me about the second one cos i can still talk about that.
well at least nowadays i'm talking with two of my best friends again.
ok not much else i guess.
