November 19 2006,

Hey! i'm back! haha..Finally back to update my blog on some stuff. This time round, It'll be on my 1st show as a FOH lighting engineer. It happened last night in a HAKKA Chinese variety concert, hosted by 陈建彬. My equipments were the Horizon 512 DMX Interface, and the Horizon Submaster Wing Panel shown in the pic.

It was a long show with alot of programmes and singers going on stage. The following picture is a picture taken from the control room during sound check. Sorry for not having any picture during show. I was busy most of the time.

At the end of the show, it was pack up time. I manage to get a snapshot of some of the mics we were using.

Ok, thats the end of this entry.

ciao.

P.S : Lighting is cool.. =D

You're only acting e way u were programmed to rite? I dun blame you. U can't help it if you make in that way by god.. Juz bad luck i guess...haha..

Anyway, with all that aside, i had another amazing and fun day yesterday. I was involve in a small "AMAZING RACE" around

October 18th 2006,

Today's one of the saddest days of my life, the very few moments i would hold a tear in my eye. A bond of love and trust, being unwillingly taken apart. A dog and it's master, a man's best friend, going through separation, where the pain will never end. As i wind back that clock, i wish time would actually stop. At the moment when we were happy, keeping each other company. As i go on typing, more tears fill my eyes. I break down in sadness, almost wishing to die. How am i going to spend my days, knowing your're not there? How can i sleep at nite, thinking the world isn't fair? At the moment you were taken, i couldn't be there. It's not that i didn't care for you, it's juz that i couldn't bare. I knew i would have a reaction and grab you back in my arms, cause i don't wanna give up all the happiness and all the joyful fun. So, i bid u goodbye silently, hoping that you'll have a better life without me. I know it's not use to say this now but..I'm realli sorry my dearest Gowie. I love you.

Hi everyone!! Finally..the moment you all have been waiting for..

*THE INSIGHTS* OF A WOMAN'S MIND part II

Ok, today's topic is based on and experience i had with yesterday's event. It was a show in SCH with alot of elderly patrons. So the topic today is about older woman. "THEY"RE crazy!!" would be what i'll say on 1st impression. First up, dressing and behaviour. As an elderly woman, you shld conduct urself as a wise and kind lady, almost projecting a motherly feel to everyone. But that wasn't the case in the concert hall yesterday. All old women were goin havoc! Have you ever seen an old lady with a low cut shirt and mini skirt?! Well i have juz yesterday..And i swear to you..It was painful to the eye..

It's so damn disgusting!! Come on man! You're already in your 60s with all that white hair happening, and u're still thinking you're a young teenager..These old women need to snap back to reality and look at the factual real world..YOU"RE OLD..ADMIT IT..I would admit that i'm old when i'm old..I'll dress lyk a mature old man when tt time comes. It's really ridiculous to live in denial and still think u're young.

Secondly, old women nowadays tend to complain alot, sometime without any reason at all. They think tt their superior cos they are old and has more privileges then others. Yesterday, there was this couple that was insulting the concert hall, saying that the concert hall was not build with consideration for elderly and that they expected escalators. What the hell?! I mean, escalator?! In a concert hall?! Where in the world would you find a concert hall with escalators in them? you might as well ask for a teleportor to teleport you to your seat!

I seriously have no clue what's goin on in the WOMAN'S MIND. But i'll do my best to share my experiences and debate the small stuff of our daily lifes to answer this question. Tune in again for more *THE INSIGHTS* OF A WOMAN'S MIND.

ciao

P.S : I do lyk elder people..Juz hate them when they come for concerts.

October 10th 2006,

This is the worst day i felt recently. Guess wat? It's because of a school assignment. I hate school. It gets you nowhere, and it spoils your day. Politics, politics and more politics. Why is it incrediblely hard to get a small group of people to agree back on wat was agreed b4. I mean, it's agreed b4! Shldn't that be eazier to agree again?! I'm sorry folks that came 2 read wat a cheery guy has to blog. This time round it's sad and emo lyk all the twits out there.

Listening to RnB music, i type away on my keyboard, sayin how life sucks when you encounter problems. I'm suffering in a tight spot all by myself and the goal ahead seems smaller den usual. HOW?! i keep telling myself..I can't give up thou i wish i can. Shld i risk it n juz do the damn assignment with a random group and 4get abt it when it's all over? Walking pass an opportunity that seems to be given only once in a lifetime.

Early today, when i heard about the assignment, my mind went bling! It was lyk a miracle that hit me. Finally the answer to the problem that has been stopping my side project for so long has arrived. Immediately i had a rush of thoughts, thinkin how it wld benefit the whole side project. I was super excited and thought everyone would feel the same way. I was wrong. It was totally not in my consideration that something lyk this would happen.

If i cld cry i would, if i cld turn back time i would, if i can say that nothing else matters i would, but i can't. Stop saying sorry. It the worst thing 2 say cos it doesn't change a damn thing. The person who invented the world sorri muz be a damn coward 2 tink of a word 2 cover the wrong things he had done.

ciao

P.S : SCHOOL SUCKS BIG TIME!! THANKS 4 CRUSHING MY DREAMS PEOPLE!!'

October 9th 2006,

Hi everyone, sorry for not updating anything for the past few days. I was busy with a show at Singapore Conference Hall. It was A stand up comedy show starring Russell Peters! Yes. Its Russell that Canadian-Indian everyone's toking abt. He was in Singapore doing 5 shows at SCH for the past few days. Anyway, The work was very enjoyable; my first time workin in the FOH control room, a motivating experience.

The show was quite a sucess with all the 5 shows tickets being solded out. The atmosphere was great and everyone had a great time laughing their hearts out.

At the end of the whole show, we gathered together to take a group picture.

Anyway, it was a great experience that took up quite alot of my time and i guess it was well worth it. Everyone was having fun, even the Fei Lows(fat guys)!! The one of the left is Russell's manager, aka brother; and the huge guy on the left is Angelo Tsarouchas, another fantastic comedian.

This black guy here's the Los Angeles, LA; version of an usher, Ray. Inspirational to us. You rock man!!

Ok, i shall end my show and tell here.

ciao

October 5th 2006,

Ok, today's another boring day. Same old routine, go sch..have lesson..come home..BORING! Anyway..while i was at school, i was discussing this topic with a great friend of mine, Bani Hidir, and i tot i shld share this with you all.

*THE INSIGHTS* OF A WOMAN'S MIND part I

2day's topic is the hidden ability behind a girl's words. Girls have dis hidden ability to make a guy feel guilty. It's true! All girls in the world shld major in human psychology.

Let's imagine a scenario: Guy meets girl, Guy falls in love wif girl, Girl falls in love wif guy, Guy dates girl, Guy and girl became a couple.. Ok now, Guy does something innocently wrong, Girl knows about it, and the following scenario follows..

Guy: Hey, i'm sorry..
Girl: (silent..)
Guy: I realli am!
Girl: (silent..)
Guy: Are you mad at me?
Girl: No. (shrugging her shoulders..)
Guy: Are you ok?
Girl: Yes. (not paying much attention to Guy..)
Guy: You sure? You look angry.
Girl: Yes.
Guy: Yes you're sure or yes, you're angry? (looking puzzled..)
Girl: (remains silent..)
Guy: (remains silent..thinking: oh shit she's angry...Or is she not?)
Girl: I'm fine..Really..(sounding insincere and not looking at Guy..)
Guy: (remains silent..thinking: Shit! Wat's goin on?! I'm goin crazy!! ahhhh!!!)
Girl: (gives Guy a smile that looks superficial..)
Guy: (I'm screwed...This relationship is over...AND IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!)

Ok, dis concludes the scenario.

Girls, you have an amazing hidden talent. You can make or crush a guy's heart in seconds by doing or not doin wat u shld or shld not be doing. Ok, thats a lil confusing.. The point is, you can make us guys feel very guilty; even if it's the smallest mistake in the world..But please try to conserve the environment and try not to harm the fragile creatures of the opposing sex. We are rare and special and if you treat us well, you'll receive the same amount of treatment and maybe even more..

For girls that are guilty of doing this to a guy, a lil advice to make things much better. Juz be truthful and tell us wat you realli feel. Guys are affectionate creatures that will do watever it takes to make you feel better. If the above scenario were to occur, the outcome might be quite unpleasant.

Ok, time to end dis entry. tune in next time for more *THE INSIGHTS* !!

ciao.

October 4th 2006,

Here i am again tryin 2 write another entry in my blog. Dis is harder den it looks! My little mind goes, wat shld i say? wat shld i talk about? Shld i talk about school? Shld i talk about wat i ate? Or shld i make a joke; juz for the fun of it..

It realli amazes me how girls can do dis so effectively. Don't all guys wonder how they do tt? Or rather, don't all guys wonder wat's goin on in a girl's head? Izzit chemical reactions? Or izzit bolts and gears? Or izzit lyk an empty room wif onli a fly happening inside? If onli one day someone would invent a machine that can give us the insights of a girl's mind, that person wld probably be....haha.. NOT ME.. =P

He wld be a genius! Which obviously i'm not. And not juz narrowing the power of dis to juz girls; i'm pretty sure girls would want to noe wat's in a guys head as well..Izzit food? izzit sports? Or izzit the thing all guys wld think about 90% of the time..u noe wat i mean...lol..

And so i end dis entry with the accomplishment of putting a suggestion in your brain..making u wonder, hmm...wat's tt person thinking?

P.S : boring day.

ciao.
