| im not dead yet... really~

First off, I'm have to say sorry to all my faithful, loving, fanatic readers out there for not updating for such a long period of time (5 days to be exact). I've been so drained from that Post NOC Syndrome or PNS (sounds closer to something else eh?). So now, I'm here to say that I'm back on track and posting babeh~ Have fhuuun reading ya?

For the past 3 days I have been ifflicted with bird flu broadband flu and couldn't connect to anyone at all. It was a very, very lonely 3 days. *sob* I miss all of you soooo much~!

So, mainly this post is on NOC4. Sorry for the quality of the pics, I got it from bro's Olymwuss digicam. Strangely enough, he has 8 megapixels at his disposal and only use its power on pics with him and the gals. ahaks~

Hope you'll enjoy this post as I took a lot of trouble to get this pics uploaded to that blarrdy photobucket thingy. No words - just pictures.

Well.. now it's the time forrrr... *drumroll*

NOC4 ROCKED!!

Well~ That's not entirely correct. It's actually more like GOD ROCKED!! NOC4 was just an instrument; a small part of a bigger plan. Hehe~

Too tired to write any longer. Just had my first meal of the day an hour ago. Cool.. I didn't eat anything for one whole day and I didn't even realize it. ahaks~

You people rocked! Good nite peeps~!

| now remember kids...

NOC4 is just around the corner and everyone's on their toes.. or hands.. whatever. Anyway, as everyone knows, NOC4 is a big production. With big budgets, big cast of actors and actresses, big scores of melodies and musicals - I'm talking big baby~ So with those huge figures and all, it'll be a serious disaster if anyone makes even the slightest of mistakes. Therefore, here are a few of my reminders to those who are part of the NOC4 Production. hehe~

when dancing, don't tangle up your legs

please do get into your correct positions

no fooling around okays?

don't get knock out by the crowd

lastly, don't trip over other people
this image is the 500 mark on my photobucket album..
if i were to add the previous photobucket album,
the total would be around 700++

If you're wondering, those are actually statues. Artistic bunch of people huh? So please do work hard for NOC4 everyone. Lets make it great so that on that night itself, we can truly say, "We are one tonight!". Good nite peeps~

NOC4 IS ON ITS WAY TO A MAIN HALL NEAR YOU

p.s. well.. actually it's in the main hall of MMU

| first CF of the new semester

Just two days ago, on a Sunday night. The time was around 11.20pm, right after our practice, Lionel suddenly inform all of us that we have to prepare a few songs using only the acoustic guitar for the coming Tuesday's CF. Immediately I was overwhelmed by the 'lemah' feeling. We were sort of under pressure from getting the NOC songs right and the fact that we haven't sort out our roll-call and end songs yet made it worse. Joel couldn't play as he had to go back to his hometown on Monday and that leaves just Julian and I. So I guess I wasn't too excited about it but...

wait! it's not what it seems!

Came windy/sunny Monday and we were to meet at Julian's place to practice, Seong was kind enough to volunteer to play along side with us too. As we practiced the first song, This Is Your Life by Switchfoot, I was reminded once more why I joined the NOC band in the first place. Shaking off the 'lemah' feeling, I poured what I have into the songs and together with Julian and Seong, we flooded place. ahaks~ How can I forget my main motive of playing the guitar? Mannn~

Now I'm sitting at home. After having some delicious cheese coffee and cheese cake (compliments from Vijay and Mark), I feel rather happy and satisfied. As Seong and I agree, playing our instruments has always been a pleasure for us, especially when we're playing it for a united reason. We played two songs for CF, This Is Your Life, which happens to be one of the end songs, and Rescue from Desperation album. I guess I was touched by the songs. It became more of a worship than a means of entertainment to me. Heh~ Can't wait for NOC4. Good nite peeps~

switchfoot
this is your life

yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

yesterday is a kid in the corner
yesterday is dead and over

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life are you who you want to be
this is your life are you who you want to be

this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, are you who you want to be
this is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

and you had everything to lose

| welcome to the freakshow - dctalk

Being part of the NOC4 music team isn't all fun and games. It involves lots of dedication and patience. Not to mention grim hard work and the pure passion to serve. Well, it's actually not that scary larr. I just made it sounds serious for fhunn~

mastering the control of effects and volume..

Before the Intensive Week started, the band wasn't so busy. We would come to practice at least once a week, roughly understand the song and our parts in the song and practice our instruments as often as possible. That's before the Intensive Week started. Right now for this whole week, we'll practice everyday from as early as 3pm to as late as 1.30am. It's true kids, while you're tucked into bed every night, a group of highly specialized personals are undertaking serious work. ahaks~

..while keeping a close eye on the song..

It all started from an interview/audition a few months ago. After undergoing some really vigorous auditioning and lots of mental stress a group of 6 were finally chosen. We were called the Six Saints. Back then we were like babies thrown into the wild and forced to mature in order to survive the cold life of a NOC musician. Okay, so we weren't called Six Saints. I made that up because I thought it sounded cool.

..and eating unhealthy burger and tasteless fries~

Just in case you've been away from CF for quite some time or you have absolutely no clue as to what I'm talking about, let me introduce the NOC4 band.

| dont die abby!!

It all started when I noticed I had a God Shaped Hole in my tiny little heart. In truth, I was only searching for Life, Love and Other Mysteries. Sure it's a shock. I guess I'll just have to Keep The Candle Burning. But I need not worry. After all, His Eye Is On The Sparrow and He's always watching over me. Cool huh? Hehe~ But in all seriousness, He is my Only Hope to seeing the clear Blue Skies. But oh Quando Quando will the day come where Love Will Find A Way? For God Bless The Broken Road I walk upon that led me to you.

Yes, for we are friends and Friends Are Friends Forever and we stand in the midst of the multitude like a Candle In The Wind waiting for One Sweet Day where Helena will be accepted. I'll Try, for Better Than I, I Wish For You a hot Fever that would set your soul on fire. So, together We Are One. I'm not trying to joke cause This Is Your Life and all I'm asking is that you will Look Through My Eyes and see that I do care. Is Something There? Something At The Beginning of A Moment Like This? I dunno.. I'm so lost. I need to know Where Are You Now? Please stop this torture and Let Me Let Go to come to you. To come to place where It's All Coming Back To Me Now. Oh, how long to go To Where You Are. To the place and time When She Loved Me. Yes.. lets go back to then.
