Trying to do a solo arrangement of this. Loved the intro stuff on the original recording, so I thought I should do one. And its alternating bass, which makes it easier to turn it into a solo arrangement.

Rare fingerstyle stuff on chinese music.
Let's see how things go. Almost there.

5 yrs

2011-07-18T19:37:00.002+08:00

I think its been alittle more than 5 yrs I've picked up the guitar.

My story isn't the usual i-have-always-wanted-to-play-the-guitar thing. It started when I was still attending church and I just graduated from secondary school. Dad wanted me to learn a skill during the holidays, and since he was playing the guitar he asked me to take up guitar lessons.

My dad played guitar for many years, he once told me he was one of those guys you would see @ staircases with their guitars jamming.

Well I was really reluctant to learn it in the beginning, cuz I never had the interest to learn it in the first place. Even when guitars are in the house and readily available.

Went for lessons for quite awhile. Learned the basic chords, strumming patterns what not. No theory nothing. I then practiced stuff at home with the Zion 21d, my dad's precious guitar at that time. The action was ok, but the string tension at the first fret was, argh!!! I continued using it for the 4yrs anyways.

There was this term of guitar lessons that introduced fingerpicking and stuff. Woah, I remembered that was really hard stuff when I was starting out.

Dad often would introduce guitar players of his time and ask me to check them out on youtube. I was amazed by the astounding amount of notes they could play, the speed.

He brought me and my sister to watch Pat Metheny in concert. We had no idea who the hell was he and why the hell he brought us to watch a jazz concert. All we listened to that time were mando pop, english pop. I couldn't remember much except the very one song that really struck me.

Lone Jack - Pat Metheny

That was it. There was something jazz about me, I liked it. After that concert that tune kept playing in my mind and my family members would often find me in my room with a guitar on my lap humming the tune and pretending to play it like Pat.

Dad really did gave me many names to youtube. Then there was Tommy Emmanuel, I can say he totally changed my life and could be the reason why I still play the guitar now.

Angelina - Tommy Emmanuel

I never knew the guitar could be played in as solo and have so much melody pouring out. I told myself the time I was watching that video with my dad, I must play this.

I really did try to play it my first year of playing guitar and it was a total mess. Tough as nails.

Fingerstyle ftw.

Renewal

2011-07-18T18:39:00.002+08:00

I feel like my passion for playing the guitar is renewed. Now the feeling's really great, since I'm finishing up pieces I've started years back, and its definitely easier than starting from a new piece.

I feel so good.

This is rusty. (Demystifying joel's money)

2011-06-12T01:08:00.003+08:00

I've never felt so poor before until when I enlisted to the army. Never understood the importance of money until recently.

And I was wondering why did it take till now to get desperate and feel the money blues. Fell back to my old blog and found out how thrifty I was. I really bothered to save money. Now I don't, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Gotta make things clear before I proceed further.

When I was still schooling (pre-ns), I had a pocket allowance of $10 a day. At the peak of things (sec sch), I get another $10 bucks when I go tuition in the afternoon after school. If I had tuition every single day I would have more than what the army gives me a day. However, good or bad, I went to tuition on average 2 days a week. So doing the math:

$10 X 5 = $50 (Weekly school allowance)
$10 X 2 = $20

$50 + $20 = $70/week

$70 X 4 = $280/month.

That's that.

And for army allowance:

$460 - LCP pay.
$460 - $20 (Aviva insurrance) - $105 (CPF Poly fees thingy) = $335/month.

Now tt's around $50 more than what I get during my peak schooling days. Ok, maybe more, cuz when i was schooling I didnt have to pay for my ez link card, and truth is there were times i cheated and took money from my mum even when I didnt need to top up my card.

But how was I suppose to save with $250+ was a mystery. I really didnt buy anything for myself, I was a really thrifty guy. I think I was obsessed with saving when I was young, cuz i remembered I would not eat during my recess to save up for something. Maybe that answers the question.

Bottomline is, I'm left with less than a thousand bucks in my bank. And there's a very high possibility i'll spend it all away before I ord in 3 months. It's scary to even look at the records. I'll need a job after I ord, badly. I need to save.

The government should really look to increase our pays. What the fuck, you wanna give us 400 bucks to serve the country when making sure the country is protected is your upmost concern. My mother could do better than that if i just ask.

But I know my mum's money is so important to her. Fuck man, I wanna save some cash when i work man. Seriously, I dont even go to the movies that often or even go out for that matter. I dont down pints of booze a day. I dont club, I dont smoke, I dont do anything. I dont even buy clothes.

But on the contrary, I would like to take back my words about raising NSF's pays. Why? Cuz i'm gonna ord in 3months.

Through this past yrs, I've realised something. When you're young, you save, if you wanted to have fun, you could play basketball, go to a friend's house to play games. When you're alittle older, demands are more, when you go out, you effing spend at least $20, er no, $30. Fuck.

I wanna help my family. I wanna be the moneylender. But not when I'm a NSF.

Money makes the world go round.

Remarks: HOW DO FUCKING KIDS/STUDENTS CLUB SO FREQUENTLY W/O HAVING A JOB. SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE FUCK.

This is really i think a way to release the shit i'm really feeling about my bank account.

w00t

2010-09-20T01:59:00.000+08:00

2 years w/o training..

Nice stuff.

Once was my second home.

2010-09-19T16:37:00.001+08:00

I would skip school and go to the gym.
I went to the gym after work every monday wed and friday.

NOW bukit panjang having a gym soon.
ITS A SIGN.

Let's try working hard at something I love

2010-09-18T15:40:00.002+08:00

PRACTICE!.

Guitar was never about impressing people for me.
I just love it.

What after ORD?

2010-08-29T20:59:00.003+08:00

Its still a question I cant answer. But the most feasible solution would be to work and grind out enough money to study.

Study what?

I dont know, I dont even feel like studying. I'm just saying it cause majority of people are doing it. The next idea which is quite ambitious is to start a business.

What business?

I dont know, I dont even know how to start. Heck, I dont even have the capital.

How I wish I can just answer people by saying, I wanna be a doctor. Just like the times when we were young. Actually no, I never wanted to be a doctor. I only say it because it'll make my parents happy.

1 year soldier soon, 1 more year to go. 1 more yr to think about what after ORD. Running out of time, I've gotta feeling I'm gonna do nothing if I dont think about it now.

And that's ultra sad.

Thinking of sad, SIGN ON LOR.
I ever thought of it. You never have to think alot, it's hard to get fired and the pay is stable. But what if my capabilities of earning money was far more than that.

What after ORD? I might end up selling drugs in the alleys of geylang.

Practice is perfect.

2010-08-14T15:53:00.001+08:00

Havent been practicising much these past few months as compared to a year back.

Don Ross - Klimbim

Just amazing stuff. Tone so thick, technique so slick.

It just dawned on me.

2010-08-10T21:41:00.001+08:00

We used to call a guy we see at the basketball court Army Guy = AG = Silver.

Now we ourselves are army guys.

LOL.

I may finally have to do something...

2010-08-10T20:07:00.002+08:00

Not because I wanna do it, but I'm feeling uber lazy and sluggish over the 2 yrs.
I wanna be that crazy young boy that talks alot of trash again. I was crazy cuz I was uber confident. It seems weight is weighing my down.

But again, I havent been starting my engine in almost 2 years.

Let's make a simple plan and see how long I can stick to it. I'm known to deviate from my plans just because I'm too mentally challenged. Just ask ZEON. (still sounds weird calling him that)

No stupid hardcore shit to discourage me.

Just,
Pushups, BW Squats and kettlebell deads for a easy start.
Slowly cut down on the junk.
Sooner or later I must face my greatest nemesis, THE RUN. (I prefer later. Example of being determination-challenged)

All these dont have to be on a daily basis, i'm not that desperate. I want a slow and steady start.

I recall the days I finally want to get some exercise during poly 1 after a year of no basketball. I started slow too. With swimming. Dont wanna discourage myself chionging into things and finding out how bad a shape i'm in.

I'm officially wanting to do something after a hiatus of 2 yrs. If I ever get back in shape again, I wanna thank all the people around me that always ask me, "facebook picture is you ar". And I've officially changed sizes twice.

Slow start and stabilize then up tempo (lol, the basketball shoes).

Its not that I cant, I dont want to. I dont want it enough.

Drive.

2010-07-31T17:22:00.003+08:00

Just a headsup on what's happening

I'm almost at the end of my SAF Driving Course (1 more week to go) and I think I've gained much in this 2 months.

During the 1st week of driving I was really tensed when driving and my instructor couldnt even get to me when I'm driving sometimes because I was too distracted at what to do next, how to change gear when to brake what not.

Now I can say I'm quite confident on the road.

Driving nowadays feels alittle boring. But, at a traffic junction sometimes I see primary school children playing soccer or playing catching, it just makes you wanna be young again. It makes you think when you see an accident on the expressway. What happens to his/her family?

Its been some time.

2010-07-31T17:20:00.001+08:00

"It all started with a little boy, a talkative mischevious boy…
And later his three friends…
A point of time almost the whole school…
And now, back to the three good friends…
This is a story….
A story of friendship…
Their ups…
As well as their downs…
A story of success & failure…
A story that when passed down the future generations…
That’ll know that it was them...

OsA1A & The Osalians…"

Looking back.

2010-05-23T14:53:00.002+08:00

Things have really changed these past few years.

Every time I have to be reminded by my subconscious.
Every time that happens it doesn't feel good.
Every time I think of what it can become,
It scares me.

Every time I tell myself it's ok, something else tells me no.
Every time I ask what's the cause of this,
It leads me to differrent answers.
Every time I hoped it never happened to me.

I'm still looking for that solution.

2009

2010-01-07T18:00:00.001+08:00

was more of a bad yr for me.
Battling personal problems and shit. Things just got worse.

And I know 2010 can be better.

And the monotony starts all over...

2009-09-21T13:12:00.001+08:00

The post-it pad on my monitor says...

2009-09-08T02:43:00.002+08:00

3....more days to enlistment.

It marks the end of school holidays for me since I would never be attending a university.
The wait is finally over. After 7 months of holidays and bulking phase. (I hope)

Everyone starts to ask whether you're ready, whether you're nervous, whether you'll miss anything, anyone.

Who isn't ready after 7 months of waiting. I feel more excited than nervous, not to serve my country but make a bunch of friends and get fucked together by the army. I'll miss family of course, the comforts of home and the feeling of having nothing to worry about what's for dinner.

I'm hoping serving NS will motivate me to get my ass back to the gym. To give me another reason to do weights again. Hopefully I'll even get motivated enough to get back to SWF.

Oh ya, I'll miss the luxury of having a guitar right beside me whenever I feel like playing it.

Have been recollecting the pri sch and sec sch days. They were so much fun.

The thrill of playing wwe cards looking at every corner for teachers. Joking around, shooting bubble tea pearls at one another, playing basketball in the rain with school uniform, playing lan at cybercombat after school, renting t shirts to wear over our uniform. Discussing what's for lunch walking rounds at bp plaza.

When people grow up, they stop taking such risks. If rains starts to pour when we're playing basketball, we'll comtemplate heading tto the coffeeshop for a meal instead of heading to the shelter and wait for the rain to stop then continue playing. We'll never shoot bubble tea pearls at one another ever again. Not with a exciting and fun approach. I can never see my friends doing that now, and even if we suggest to do it, it'll be for old time's sake.

I don't even have to talk about carpark catching. No it wont happen.

1 hour discussing what's for lunch will never happen today.

When we're young, we can spend hours on walking and doing nothing. But now, we'll wanna go home the moment we find nothing to do.

There was once upon a time, many people would come to play basketball at 478. And now, it's left with junwei. I won't be surprised that junwei would stop playing one day.

Those were the days.

Female Names...

2009-08-28T03:03:00.002+08:00

Songs with females names as titles are just beautiful.

Antoine Dufour & Tommy Gauthier - Catherine (Original by Don Ross)

The fiddle really brings out the melody and adds another dimension to this piece. Antoine Dufour's technique is just nice to watch and really original.
Touching stuff really.

Tommy Emmanuel - Angelina

This is just appealing to anyone. A simple melody but touches anyone. This is the song that brought my interest back to playing the guitar instead of drifting to another instrument what not. This song inspired me to pick up my guitar again. Probably practiced more than a thousand times, heard more than a million times. Good music is like wine.

Andy Mckee - Rylynn

Beautiful. That's that.

Andrea Valeri - A girl called Cristina

Tommy-like melody. Simple but touches the heart.

Its not easy - Joe Robinson

2009-08-10T03:58:00.000+08:00

I agree, its not easy.
If it looks hard, its harder when you try it.

I love birthdays.

2009-07-27T03:31:00.000+08:00

Its a time where I gather my thoughts.
Feel happy over a cake.
Get some money.
Look forward to the next.

I should do something

2009-07-19T02:15:00.002+08:00

To make my life easier...
I've no idea why it happens to me, but it has definitely worsened.

I need to get over it, this ghey feeling sucks.

Everyday I sit in the comforts of my home,
thinking it'll all go away,
but it wont,
unless i do something.

I need to feel like me again.

Frustration.

2009-07-01T17:56:00.002+08:00

No one likes the feeling of getting stuck.
When something looks so easy and yet you cant figure it out.

I need a rest.

Blues.

2009-06-23T18:29:00.000+08:00

Gotta love blues.

Antoine Dufour - Into the Light

2009-06-03T02:07:00.005+08:00

My new favourite.
This song really brings out his slick attacks.

Graceful technique.
Dad says he cant hear the melody, and that his bass notes on the guitar are too loud.

I feel the exact opposite. Though I have to say it gets repetitive from 3:08.
HIS TONE IS MONSTER. Best I've ever heard anyway. Please please please feel free to prove me wrong.

So tempted to get his signature model 23cr when I got the money. But then again, its the player, not the instrument.

Magic & Lakers

2009-05-31T20:01:00.002+08:00

Dwight Howard on Pau Gasol
Rashard Lewis on Andrew Bynum
Hedo Turkoglu on Kobe Bryant
Courtney Lee on Trevor Ariza
Rafer Alston on Derek Fisher

I've gotta go with the magic in 7 games.

Dwight has done quite a job on Lebron James in the paint. Kobe is more of a shooter.
I'm guessing Dwight will own Pau Gasol on the post.
But Dwight cant leave Pau open to defend the paint.
I've gotta say Magic has a better bench.

This is tricky.

Man with the green thumb

2009-05-26T03:44:00.001+08:00

Thumb sprained. Common, not as hardcore as a fractured something.

But irritating.

Tommy Emmanuel - Angelina

2009-05-17T03:37:00.002+08:00

Title: Random Playing (Mostly TE) July 23 2008

One day before my b'day.

That's cuz then I couldn't play the whole of angelina. Now I can, and I'll post a cover soon. Thing is I have no camera. Poor guitar player, no recording gear, owns a paper guitar and plays in his cramp bedroom. Camera anyone?

Confidence

2009-05-12T04:00:00.002+08:00

I watched the Celtics beat the Magic. That one shot Glenn Davis made to win the Magic by a point.

I didnt want the Celtics to win, but as I watched the shotclock winding down and the ball in Davis' hands. He made the 17 footer with grace and confidence. He didnt think about it. He just did it.

Then I saw this video right after the game, on buzzerbeaters. Robert Horry stated that confidence is key and even before you shot the ball, you have already saw it go in. And that if he missed a shot, its just a missed shot. Nothing more, you come back the next day and move on.

Glenn Davis is guai lan, BUT, that shot is admirable.

The next time I play basketball I promise I wont apologize for a bad shot. It's a sign of weakness, not confidence.

Now f, Magic Celtics series tied at 2-2. Overrated bastards. Where the hell's Dwight Howard.

I wish Celtics the worst of luck. Poor free throw %, Pierce, Ray Allen and Eddie House cold. Kendrick Perkins re-injures his left shoulder. Glenn Davis gets an ejection. Doc rivers gets ejected. Rondo gets fouled out in the first quarter.

Shit aside,
Confidence is key.
Overconfidence spells disaster.

Happy Mum's Day

2009-05-12T03:43:00.003+08:00

She's the one that made me study.
She's the one that made sure I grew up, and not screw up.
She's the reason I don't pick up bad habits and blame it on stress.
She's the one that made me think twice when I wanted to skip tuition lessons.

I still remember how strict she was on my sister and I when we're young.
I always dread the day spelling test results were out. Even if I just got one wrong, I had to pay for it.

I remember the days when she scolded me for my poor results at secondary school, my dad told me that she couldn't sleep some days having to worry about my studies. Argh, shit. If she only knew how I screwed things up in poly.

But there was always this side of mum, that is so contradicting. No matter how angry she was, she still had her kid's meals in check. "Joe, want tea-break?"

I remembered telling her and some, that the first big thing I'll save up for is a new house and stay far away from my relatives. To give her a long break after so much hard work.

Alright, its enough, this is getting too emo.

There can only be one,
Happy Mum's Day.

What's next?

2009-02-14T03:23:00.002+08:00

Lots of talk in school these days about Uni admission.
Kinda natural though, since our course in poly is a week from ending.
Its kinda embarrassing you can't engage with such a conversation.

"So Joel, what's next for you?"
Well, I don't have a clue.

"Don't worry, universities do offer places to people with certs. Maybe you could pursue certs."
What? In IT Security again? I'm very reluctant, and I find that boring.

Sweet yet bitter this is. I'm quite happy at the fact that I don't have to fret about whether to go uni cuz i cant, but thing is, its because of my digusting result that this is happening.

I want to be different. Fly to paris to learn cooking, then to africa to mine gold, then to china to open a factory, back to Singapore to open a restaurant, flying to America to be a gameshow player (guy who signs up for every gameshow), perform a gig for free, go to japan and mock at every japanese.

Its crazy, sounds mad and impossible. But the only reason 'this' is different is because people are Hum Ji. They wanna be in a safe spot.

I wanna achieve, wanna have fun. Not sitting infront of my desktop cursing at my boss.

John Mayer - Gravity

Its ending...

2009-02-11T12:25:00.002+08:00

Maybe its too soon to say this but.....

3 years (or alot less)in Singapore Polytechnic,
There's more reason for me to be glad then sad to leave the school.
I wouldn't say I hate the school.

Its been my fault to either not study these 3 yrs to the best of my ability,
or to have chosen the wrong course.

I love the friends I made here,
and the fun times we had.
The times we're in the shithole together.
The times we had discussing sick bullcrap.

I'm still curious on why Qing Xiang decided to leave us,
he definitely didnt suck in his results.

I've been an asshole these 3 years,
especially to my fypmates and lecturers.
I'm not that nice after all eh.

I came in the first year noisy, excited.
I came in the second year discouraged.
I finished the third year needing a rest.

Not that I'm tired because of the "hardwork" I've put in,
but after all that struggling you'd hope it had a stop.

If I had a chance to relive poly, I want to be in a different course with the same people. Jokes here are top notched crap. Cool people.

Thank you.

Cooking

2009-02-08T15:35:00.003+08:00

I enjoy cooking for some reason.
Not the baking type of cooking though.

Cooking the way I want my food,
showing off my crappy food to my mum.

But so far I've been cooking simple.
The most complex thing I've done is a alfredo sauce which sucked badly.

I shall sharpen my knife skills during the holidays.
Cant wait.

Relax..

2009-02-06T21:26:00.002+08:00

20% assignment on the line.
I failed the first and second.
I'm already one day late from submission which means 5 marks deduction.

I have to learn Perl's syntax.
I'm confused about the assignment.
I'm ashamed to ask for help.
I don't deserve to.
But I have no idea how to do it.

I need to relax and go through the lectures once more.

Slow down...

That's weird...

2009-02-06T14:13:00.002+08:00

My family and I walked into a room.
Something that looked like an airport.
But at the same time it felt nothing like an airport.
We were carrying bags, bags of food.

Suddenly, I was transported to a soccer field.
I only saw a big group of banglas in the field,
and apparently its a soccer match.
Then, out of nowhere, a soccer player shouted "100 rotten tomatoes" (with a bangla accent).

I then found myself in a room watching gymnastics.
With some people I've met in the gym usually,
but never interacted with.
We began to discuss how imba their moves were.
Things like pullups on a band instead of a bar,
muscleups on a band.

And it all ended with a gymnast doing a ending somersault,
but caught his head on the bar.

I woke up refreshed...
What a weird dream.

Things worth remembering

I still owe Sri Vatson (not actual spelling) this book.
He lent me out of good will.
Yet I didn't return it.
I'm glad he doesnt remember me.

Thanks Vatson or whatever your name is.

What a beauty.

2009-01-29T17:26:00.002+08:00

You know...

2009-01-29T02:49:00.001+08:00

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Gong Hey Fatt Choy.

2009-01-28T20:34:00.002+08:00

There's nothing anyone can hate about CNY,
you smile,
you greet,
you receive cash,
you eat,
you drink,
you gamble.

Responsibility...

2009-01-27T23:48:00.003+08:00

One more chance.

Tommy Emmanuel - Man with the green thumb (Cover-Uncompleted)

2009-01-22T20:30:00.003+08:00

Just alittle trailer. I'll record again when I'm finished with the bridge.
So glad I'm finished with my first boom-chic style song.

Gay door bell. Think just changed batteries, so loud. Scared me.

FYP.

2009-01-22T16:48:00.002+08:00

Its over, and I'm glad it is.
We made it.
I will miss FYP.

My foot.

Man with the green thumb

2009-01-22T00:48:00.001+08:00

Almost there. I shall take a recording when I'm done.

What the...

2009-01-19T09:53:00.002+08:00

How could this something like this even get 1 million views?
Ridiculous...

So close...

2009-01-17T11:17:00.000+08:00

After almost 5 months of on-off,
I'm so close.

Achieving...

2009-01-15T16:46:00.002+08:00

Time and tide waits for no man.
Within a twinkling of an eye,
I'm done with approximately 1/4 of my journey.

The last 4 years have passed pretty quick,
and I must say I'm pretty happy with things.
I may not have learned much that had any link to my course of study,
But I learned so many other lessons.

My sister once saw a teenage boy in long bermudas, long socks and sports shoes,
She sniggered.

I asked what's wrong?

She said, "SO NERDY."

People that think this way is so very wrong. For all you know he's the coolest joker around.
Dont judge people even before knowing him/her/it.

That was one of the few lessons I learnt.

But a few weeks back, I started thinking of what achievements I've made during this few years.
Something....anything to tell my future kids about.
"When I was in my teens ar, I survived 9 knife stabs."
Unfortunately, I recalled none.
Some people feel its unimportant.
But I feel its what drives man in the direction of a fruitful journey.

I wanna do something before my teenage membership expires.

Spinnovex

2009-01-09T21:34:00.002+08:00

Its been a long time since I talked about school.
The only reason for that is that it has been really monotonous.
Furthurmore, the number of days I attend school is countable.

I guess I shall be attending school more often now on.
Just a few more months.

Spinnovex had nothing to do with me,
or the other way around.
But I still went there to show support,
and to fool around.

The projects on exhibition were interesting,
but some were lol.

And just when I thought I made an achievement in SP I could tell my children about,
that bastard (whoever he is) broke my SPACE INVADERS RECORD.

But I had the record for a day.

Time to cut

2009-01-08T00:40:00.002+08:00

That's what I said for 2 months...
Must take control of things before they become too big a problem...

Cut Cut Cut.
2 months.

Another year passed...

2008-12-31T21:35:00.005+08:00

This year has been a great...

I learned new skills.
I now cook on a regular basis.
I took up oly weightlifting.
I levelled up on my guitar.
I now know that I squat with near perfect form.
I learned that sugar and high fructose was the number one substance in causing obesity,
not healthy fats.
I learned that people in the world today arent very educated about nutrition.
I came up with my own music.

There were ups,
and there were downs.

I found weakness.
I learned that I need warmups before exercise.
I become more conscious about my walking style.
Using excessive 'I's is also a weakness.
I learned that if I liked something I'll go for it,
and if i dont,
it would be a near impossible task.

Things changed,
I once was this guy who always didnt care.
I soon became this stressed up guy who does nothing about his projects.
But I never talked about how stressed up I was.
I hope that as soon as I leave SP I'll feel like the guy I once was again.
Happy, excited and exciting.

If I had to thank people for helping me out this year,
it would be my friends for the fun times.
My mum for buying groceries even when she didnt get enough money from Dad.
And also Zhihao for being there during training to help motivate each other for the next rep.
The basketballing osalians who helped ease the mind.
The late night suppers at bukit timah with the usuals.
Tommy Emmanuel for inspiration and wonderful concert. (Many thanks although you wont see this)
My guitars at home that gave me the peace.
My ITP mates for lol-ing around.

The next year would be LOL.
So fast and I'm gonna do a favor for Singapore (not serve).

But there are still resolutions for the new year:

I'm gonna continue to train for fun and do my best till I get enlisted.
Level up in guitar again.
Get my diploma.
Fail my NAPFA.
Go for a holiday before getting enlisted.
Master at least one Tommy Emmanuel song.
GET A NEW GUITAR.
110 kg 1RM squat (by end January)
130 kg 1RM deadlift (by end January)
Clean eating (by end January)
Get back to the gym regularly (by end January)
Enjoy.
Have fun.
Good health.
Good food.
Money come.

This year's resolutions' one of the less ambitious and less detailed one. Cuz of army really.

Really about keeping things simple.

Biggest influence of the year:

Thanks everyone for visiting.
Happy New Year.

All Grown Up (Original) and alittle Last Christmas

2008-12-24T19:18:00.002+08:00

Its been a wonderful year.
Came out with this idea some time back this year.
I was thinking back on all the happy days.
Those were the days.
Simple, easy to play.
Alittle of Last Christmas at the end. Came up with the simple arrangement. No tabs.

What we all do

2008-12-03T15:48:00.001+08:00

Don Ross - Afraid to dance

He actually has the guts to beat his 13000USD guitar like crazy.
All in the name of music.

Cover no. 2

2008-11-14T17:42:00.003+08:00

I've finally almost figured out No Goodbyes by Don ross. So I decided I'd try to put it on video.

Lots of mistakes, not enough practice. Especially that transition to the Em-like chord. Not something I'm used to.

I dedicate this to my very special granddad.

Its been 4yrs....How time flew.
Those times we had under the void deck eating...
Bananas, peanuts and the infamous durian,
Which he couldn't eat because of diabetes,
The days I followed him to the market,
He taught me how I could select the fish among the fishes.

What memories...

2008-11-07T13:45:00.003+08:00

The cartoons people my age should have seen before.

this episode was like replayed for so many times. Love this.

Although I really loved cartoons, I can never see the point of watching japanese themed cartoons, anime. It's boring, overcomplicated and makes pple dress up to look like morons (cosplay).

Maybe I'm racist, but I frankly dislike japanese food. Either japs dont know how to cook (coincidently they love raw food) or they have low expectations for food. Especially that egg tofu or whatever crap they call it and sour rice with A PIECE of meat. Worse still a piece of SWEET EGG.

oishi my ass.

I'm on then over the moon now...

2008-10-30T00:14:00.004+08:00

Just back from Tommy's concert.
Beautiful.
Heart Pounding.
Sweet.
Exciting.

It had been a long wait since July of last year.
There were some complications in the seat allocation, and you can see people like my dad getting all upset just because of a trivial matter.

Like a small kid, I didn't care about those crap but instead fantasized the upcoming performance. I waited for my guitar hero patiently.

Lights dimmed. OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGG.

Tommy's sound is totally different from gay youtube, even dvd isnt close. SOOOOOOO BIG.
How do you even get close to be as good as this guy.
Yet so humble.

I liked how he was so casual and talked about his life and all.
My dad teared during the song "I still cant say goodbye". First time I see him tear anyway.

Next year I'm so gonna bring my guitar down for his signature.

Time to get to work. Practice is perfect.

Seriously, the boom chick is not uncool-country-uncle-music at all. I really hope youths and young people get more into other genres like this.

Locomotivation! New song!

Must cover..

2008-10-07T17:36:00.003+08:00

Don Ross - No goodbyes

Something I must attempt to cover. So beautiful, and the story behind it is wonderful. Don Ross wrote it for his son who died in a battle of drug addiction at the age of 13 or 14.

His son came out of rehab once clean and the family embraced him until weeks later when he got back into addiction.

Seriously, if I gone into addiction, I cant see my family waiting and receiving me home.

If only my father was that caring.

And so I thought it was an easy cover, I stumbled across a chord shape I've never seen before, and through wonderful youtube's video quality it makes it worse.

And even if I wanted tabs,

Something liddat:

e|---0---1---3---
B|---0---1---0---
G|---1---2---0---
D|---2---3---0---
A|---2---3---2---
E|---0---1---3---
  E   F   G

It displays how you fret your fingers

Most of these fingerstyle tabs are quite inaccurate and are crap. The bigger problem is that most dont even have tabs.

I dont really like figuring out music through tabs, because sometimes its really troublesome and intimidating. Videos for the win. Havent got to the stage where I can figure out through pure sound and no pictures.

I'm pretty much stuck for the past 3 days.

Those were the days....

2008-09-27T13:01:00.002+08:00

...where we played basketball 7 hours straight.
...we had red noses the day after.

Just 2 years ago, we couldn't even stay in the court for an hour because of how tired we were.

Now we're back playing 4 hours and still feeling great.

A legendary example of how-i-suck-in-a-sport-but-i-love-the-sport.

2008-09-24T16:59:00.002+08:00

Another jazzman to introduce.

Lee Ritenour. Another guy that enjoy what he's playing like a kid.

In my opinion, the next blues player to take over the other blues greats

2008-09-17T21:19:00.002+08:00

Its done at last.

Points to note:
- I have a cheapo guitar
- I am using a cheapo HP cam to record
- I'm left handed (which means my right hand's retarded)
- Believe it or not, sad but true, I took one year on and off to figure this song out.
- Tommy's been play since 4, I've been playing since 17/18.

Moving on,

I freakin passed my semester. Thanks Karl, Lai, Liew (say it in cantonese).

Being Productive

2008-09-16T00:37:00.005+08:00

So what have I done during these 2 weeks of holidays?

Nothing.

Ok that's bad.

Yup.

So anything's gonna change?

I really hope so seriously, if not I'll be so dead. (Refering to fyp)

So what's the next big thing?

Results on Wednesday. (I believe in Karl)

Any thoughts on that?

Btw, I think I might cover one of TE's music soon. I'm almost done with it, only not that smooth.

Finally, good form is sexy.

2008-09-11T02:45:00.001+08:00

Classic...I can remember how to sing it so clearly. I believe it was in nursery I heard this.
Can't believe the yellow guy does it with such enthusiasm and doesnt notice he's looks faggy.

Failed attempt at promoting fitness, but give it some credit. It managed to stay in the brains of retards like me.

Remember those times?

2008-09-01T13:43:00.000+08:00

Not a wannabe, I'm a goingtobe.

I'll prove it.

Red Alert 3 Beta.

2008-08-21T02:39:00.002+08:00

I'm slow but my opponents are slower.
So fun la...

I was putting my 29.6gb music library on shuffle just now and I heard this oldies song and struck me. No its not that phat rap you hear niggers spit.

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

Persecution you must bear
Win or lose you've got to get your share
Got your mind set on a dream
You can get it, though harder them seem now

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last
I know it, listen

Rome was not built in a day
Opposition will come your way
But the hotter the battle you see
It's the sweeter the victory, now

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
You can get it if you really want
But you must try, try and try
Try and try, you'll succeed at last

You can get it if you really want - I know it
You can get it if you really want - though I show it
You can get it if you really want
- so don't give up now

I'm known to procrastinate when it comes to studying.
Whatever goals you have, start today.

Procrastination is like masturbation. At first it feels good, but in the end you're only screwing yourself. ~Author Unknown

Digusting.

2008-08-15T14:33:00.002+08:00

I just feel not right with Chinese from China winning medals in the name of Singapore.

Too ghey.

Even if its the chance of the century, let it be.
I'm staring at the tv screen now, and I found out even the coach is from China. And they are scouted by Singapore somemore.

Please lose, Singapore doesnt need that medal...

Digusting...

China power

2008-08-14T02:02:00.008+08:00

Its not tyco...
Its a simple yet confusing word called hardwork...

When it comes to Singaporean Athletes in this year's olympics, I'm sure most of us will go, "Aiya, no hope la."
I'm sure local athletes are training hard, but i do not know of any local athlete that train full time. Most of them are either studying or maybe have a job while training. That's a Singaporean's life, and I feel the government or whoever responsible should do something.

How are suppose to dream of swimming like a dolphin or lifting heavy weights when you've got bills to pay, and you don't get paid to train, worse still get hounded for work by your boss at office.

Sorry Singapore, it's not cai peng/econ rice you are talking about here, where the dishes are 'economical'. And those LOL Team Singapore songs. Err...

I'm not even going into talking about the foreign athletes Singapore "hires".

Some sports dont even get enough funding to go on. What a shame. Thanks!

Its not tyco...
Its fardwork...disregard talent, it only counts with fardwork.

I dont like how ministers in Singapore try to cover defeats, like erm "fighting with the giants", what not. You lost fair and square.

Even Mongolia has 1 silver medal.

Dad asked me on where is Singapore on the weightlifting. I said, "Were you happy when I told you I was doing alittle weightlifting?" Probably some oracle told the whole world that weightlifting would make their children short and stout and that the muscles will turn into fats. Or whey protein has steroids.

If I go on, I might get tags saying, "So power, you go compete lah." I've got an excuse, I'm failing my test, it's gonna affect my chances of getting the 9-5pm job i DESERVE.

Btw, what has McDonalds gotta do with olympians? The worst idea for a sponsor.

This is sick

2008-08-13T17:29:00.003+08:00

I'm sooooooooooooooooooo screwed.

People who know me wouldn't have heard me said this before because of the sarcasm some people say this with, but this time I see no possible way out. I'm not a persimist. Never one, never gonna be one. BUT WTF.

I'M GONNA FAIL

Securing Microsoft Windows so badly.

I needed 84 marks in today's exam I took a few hours ago to pass.
51 marks to pass with KARL KWAN's recommendation.

Sounds freaking pathetic, actually it is...

I would like to believe I can at least get the recommended pass.

BUT....

The paper's so sick it's not even funny. Section B 70 marks sealed the deal. The questions sounded arabic.

AND...

To fail at the 1st semester of the last year isn't cool.

Finally, the escapist faces the consequences.

I so need the feeling of weights crashing down on me. Time to do that.

History shouldn't repeat itself

2008-08-10T21:19:00.002+08:00

OR,
At least.... i hope not

I'll let you guess the results

2008-08-09T02:24:00.003+08:00

So exciting.....
Postman came with Emmanuel Labor on Wednesday
Really helped me with a couple of stuff I didnt know working out his music. Really remotivated me to pick the guitar again and spend hours with it. (Although i'm already picking the guitar everytime I'm waiting for my computer to load.)

Came out with a very interesting idea, I'll record it once its more solid. No idea how I came out with it, but the moment's so magical. The chorus just came within a snap. I made sure the idea didn't slip my mind. No title yet. Sounds alittle like ruby's eyes but when i thought of it again, think I'm thinking alittle too far.

So deeee-lighting...
I've got TE's concert tickets on Monday. E4 & E5, that's the fifth row. Not too bad.

Played basketball on Wed and Thurs. Really fun. Almost sprained my finger again.

And so today Dad came home with John Mayer's concert DVD (maybe he has too much money), watched the whole two hours just now. He's brilliant. And till now, I still thinks Jiquan looks alittle like him. I dono where but....

SMW EXAM ON WED........WISH ME LUCK

Heart is willing, wallet is weak...

2008-08-04T00:01:00.007+08:00

Getting...

Kettlebells

New toys...gonna be fun

Weightlifting shoes

Should have got it by now...zZz...

Concert Tickets

VICTOR WOOTEN's coming SG. OMG. Together with other bass greats.
Dad wants to watch the John Scofield one, so maybe he'll pay for that.
Just checked,
TOMMY EMMANUEL'S COMING TO SG TOO.
29 Oct 2008
But wtf, going alone. zZz
OMG, so sexciting.
Waited for so long, thought he would not come this year.
Buying tickets tomorrow after school.

My Personal Guitar
Well, technically, I do not have one. Cuz its all passed down from my dad.
I'm still saving, thinking of a Larrivee OM-3.
Then I can call it my official personal guitar.

Cashew/Almonds

Blueberries

The guitar will probably come in a few months time. Kettlebells cost around $240+, tickets around $120 bucks (since dad will pay for some), shoes are $150. Burned a hole.

SEXCITING..................

Emmanuel Labor!!!

2008-07-31T12:56:00.003+08:00

My first guitar hero.
Sorry,
I'm a sucker for his music

I preordered mine, have you?

I cant believe this.

2008-07-30T20:41:00.002+08:00

Cool gym

Geeks are cool.

2008-07-29T00:54:00.002+08:00

Passion.

April 22: Die, Subway, Die

Don't you love it when studies back up what you've been saying for years?

A study in the Journal of Consumer Research shows a couple of things we already knew:

1. People underestimate the calories in foods they think are healthy. In this study, people were shown 1000 calories worth of food from Subway and 1000 calories worth of food from McDonalds.

Not only did they underestimate the calories in both meals, they were off by almost 500 calories when it came to the Subway meal!

Why? Two reasons:

* People are stupid, often willfully so.

* Big Fast Food knows this and uses it to sell more shitty food.

So, here you have Subway: a chain that likes to sell itself as "healthy," usually by promoting Jared, a guy who lost weight on a starvation diet that Subway's own nutritionist has spoken out against.

With enough marketing, people begin to associate Subway with health and weight loss. But while it's true they don't serve deep-fried fare, most of their foods aren't really diet friendly, being both high in calories and high in bready carbs.

(The last refuge of what I call "pretend health foods" is the low-fat label. As if only this particular macronutrient can get you fat.)

Right now Subway is promoting a $5 foot-long special. Their "low fat" foot-longs however can still hit 750 calories. And that's not counting the cheese and condiments you add. (Read the fine print, fatties.) Toss in your dressings and cheeses and you're looking at a 1000 calorie "low fat" sandwich, more cals than a Big Mac or a Whopper, even if it's lower in fat.

But wait, there's more. Here comes #2:

2) While Subway is sneaky and misleading about their "health food," it's YOU, the consumer who's ultimately responsible.

There's an old Roman saying, "The people want to be deceived, let them be deceived." Subway so easily deceives people because the people want very badly to believe that anything they get from Subway is healthy.

So, the fat consumer's thought process is this: "I'm fat. Subway is healthy. That guy on TV lost weight eating there. Okay, I'm in Subway. I'll take a foot-long meatball sub with cheese, add chips, and a large Coke."

By the way, the foot-long meatball sub is 1120 calories before you add anything. Add topping, chips, and a drink, and you're getting more calories in one meal than you probably need all day if your goal is fat loss. And yep, that sub even contains some trans-fat.

And here's the real whopper coming out of the same study: People eating at Subway are more likely to order large drinks and cookies along with their meals. Why? Because they assume that their sandwich is low in calories and "healthy."

"Please, Subway, deceive me! I'm begging you! I wanna chocolate chip cookie!!!!"

So, Subway, I crown thee King of Pretend Health Food.

And those of you who eat there and order foot-long meatball subs? I dub thee fools in Subway's court.

Its an article written by Chris Shugart:
http://www.t-nation.com/tmagnum/readTopic.do?id=2099394

Guess I was right. At the end of the day, just know fast food as fast food. Dont ever label them healthy. Too carby.
Go ahead and enjoy your sub. O.o

FYP are for greeks.

2008-07-26T00:09:00.008+08:00

I spent 1 hour trying to make the 3 triangles look like the same size cuz i didnt know how to rotate the triangles.

Just got my 2nd warning letter...
Damn...

Was browsing through youtube as usual.
I remembered the very first gig i went too was Pat Metheny's (One of many guitar heros of my dad). Actually I had no business being there too, just that my father bought tickets.

Weird music taste huh.

Its funny how...

2008-07-25T02:06:00.009+08:00

....things change so drastically.

I remembered the time I selected my courses after my O's.

I thought I loved IT Security so much and that it was my definite first choice. I thought I could be some hacker and that i could do some damage. Seriously, that was childish.

Thanks to my crappy imagination, I screwed myself for the next three years. Bad mistake.

Thank God its Friday.

Moving on.....

[Origins of me (Birth --- Pri Sch)]
From my birth, i've always been known as Joel, juz one plain old Joel. But comparing from the past and now...the most of me haf changed. People change and i'm human too...It all started when on the 24 July 1989 when dis wonder is born they named mi Joel and so i am Joel...a quiet and innocent boy. I've grown through quiet years when until primary 3 at the age 9 i've finally found the meaning of life and my purpose in this world. And so, from that year onwards, i jumped out of my old skin and entered a whole new realm...LOL...I dared to try out things and venture into new unexplored lands. And from primary 4 onwards i began to talk more to friends and learnt to haf fun with'em...I learnt to joke, learnt to learn, learnt to accept criticisms...FUN FUN FUN was all that's in my mind...Enjoyment is everyone's wish...But enjoyment can sometimes result to unforseen circumstances...An example, during pri 4 i EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT till my weight pummeled increasingly, filling every intermolecular space with fats...i joined a new club....TAF club...not to mention pri sch's TAF club is really useless...(they think doing a few aerobics steps can help you lose weight...WTF??? O'Come on) Pri 6, the last year spent in pri sch was kinda fun...i moved from Bukit Batok to my new Bukit Panjang apartment. I thought life could be better but...haiz...nvm...this is life...y make life bad for urself juz find the positive sides and live with it....ain't it better? LOL...collecting of my PSLE grades...wow...203...LOL...on top of the results, i felt scared and worried and felt i didnt wanted to leave my pri sch cuz i've done all sorts of stuff in tt damned building and it was juz so undescribeable. But what i could do?? I had to move on and find myself another vocational site. Pri Sch all flew past mi lyk a dream...but i still have some great memories captured by my human camera (mind???) Summarized by a few words ITS FUN FUN FUN...

[The Present Living ( Sec 1 -- Now) ]
On the first day of school, there was a great reluctance in going to my new vocational site, Fajar Secondary School because i knew it was a solo mission i had to accomplish...no fellow pri sch comrades followed me here, and i knew i had to find the way myself. A beginning of a new adventure, a new discovery Fjss. I told myself, if you have to enjoy, enjoy it here. First day was juz an abnormal me...no life no jokes juz a bored face...then as i moved on, i made acquintance with the foreign people around me...and did wad i could do...first year was crappy...so damn fun...nonsensical too...looking back now...i feel i'm so childish...i just talked crap and hurt people's feelings...ill-mannered...sec 2...great days....some of the most memorable events also took place in this GrEaT year...Yes! I had fun in this year but a sad year too...the great event to me in the year 2003 was the COLD WAR...it started on 7 August 2003...ended maybe at around november 2003? Sad story...aniwae...every story has an ending...but trust me...this story have not ended yet...i'm still on it...i'll still write it...no matter wad...i will press on and persevere with determination...no matter what people say, u're the sweetest...ok...enuff of dose stuff...LOL...let's move on...sec 3...this is one cr4zy year...lots of action...i'm luving it...no doubt...the year my basketball carrer exploded all thks to my fellow 0sA1A-ians (basketball division) taught great lesson to me...but guys...tell mi the way...criticize mi if you need to cause i think i suck...LOL...bunch of great frenz that woke me up from my basketball tactics...from pri 6 i played basketball but it never seemed the right way but with you guys i learnt alot alot...thanks guys...and those who don't really know me....i'm a basketball aficionado...i think abt it every moment...i know almost every player in the league...TEST MI!!!...famous for my F**king passes??? LOL...but also the year i've failed my overall result the first time...but...i'll defeat the term called examinations...whack it hard and sae "ASTALAVISTA BABY"...LOL...

[Future Days (Now -- Few years down)]
I will try to get u as mine...and i will continue enjoying life and also provide my service as 0sA1A 24/7..."Just call my name, and i'll be there...I'll be there to comfort you...(so on and so forth) " I'll also wanna haf 2 kids?? lol...one son and a daughter...Wanna be a GrEaT father and a husband (WTF??? going too farr???) Do an airwalk mj style...(on standard nba ring) Maybe play for the Milwaukee Bucks and coach for the Los Angeles Lakers (cause' Lew Alcindor A.K.A Kareem Abdul Jabbar play there in the past) LOL...Anyway those are dreams...but maybe i can be a computer programmer? interesting job to me...i wanna sent those irritating trojan horses back to troy...LOL...hope it is anyway...just have a simple but interesting life ...maybe a monthly income of $2000? enough to me...LOL...although some of my friends think i'm cr4zy...

Some Theories Of 0sA1A:
HC Theory : Heck Care (Applicable to some limits only. Do not misuse. Consult me if you queries about this statement)
Life RoX Theory : Don't you just think so?? If there weren't life u wouldn't be here looking at this. Life to 0sA1A is what matters cause he believes w/o life they ain't him. Learn to accept the truth and live with the truth. There're always variables u can change in things u don't like...Just smile and enjoy it...

Some people 0sA1A just admire:
Mr Lim :-->LOL...unusual person to admire but he's great he just increased my longing for physics...LOL...talks sense too...thought about his taglines and its really true...TAGLINES : "It's your choice, u want to study anot, its not my problem, i don't care, aniway its your results at the end of the year..."

Mr Ng :--> Very powerful voice...OMG...lol...inspirational?

Kareem Abdul Jabbar :--> How the heck he do those great skyhooks??

Aniway what is life? What is the world? No one has the real answer and guys dont try to find out, you're just wasting your time. Just understand that you're here for no purpose and life is compulsory...Make your own purposes of life and find it. Life is just a game...but a wonderful game...all of us have to finish it...but how we make use of it is the point. Think about it, no matter how much you hate it now, you'll love it next time...For me, life is just another wonder. The world is a artifact? LOL...Take life easy don't rush it, don't hate so easily, think about it first, cause it'll never do good. For me, anger is my last resort, just relax, and take criticisms as compliments and relax...never liked to start a scene...that's y u'll always see me smiling...go ahead with the two-pronged approach...lol...
