Here's a short vid of me doing random sticking... Like anyhow one la so don't expect too much. In it are double strokes, flams, drags, ratamacues, paradiddles, flam taps mainly. And a lot of anyhow playing haha. enjoy.

Let me paint a picture. A person "committing" his life to teaching the skill that he lacked, leading to unfortunate circumstances. That's an idea that crossed my mind recently.

Everybody makes mistakes, and it's important that we pass on the wisdom we gain from these mistakes. I wonder 30 years down the road what I will be telling my son. What mistake I would have made that I will tell him not to make.

AGAIN I AM SORRY FOR SPAMMING THIS BUT.
Michael has changed his phone number to 97720148. And hopes never to have to go through the trouble of informing everyone again ahhh

Unlike many others I had an enjoyable week at school, catching up with all my classmates and starting to talk to the people I never really talked to much before! I must say SC1 is a place where you can definitely find a "home" with at least a few people.

The new timetable is pretty good, we've got at least 5 20min breaks everyday I think so I feel quite relaxed at the moment. If I do my work diligently over the weekends and all school will be very enjoyable indeed. As for certain matters, things are getting better and as I say I hope for normal.

This year would be so awesome if I had time everyday...

Recently certain events have gotten me rather well... annoyed. But they have also got me into more reflection, which is always good. Firstly, I would just like to thank people who pray for me for whatever reason, good or bad. But I probably think It's bad because normally you don't pray for someone when things are good. So I'm going to say this once and only this once. I feel there is very little point in praying for someone if you're hoping to change them or something without talking to them directly. It's like me praying that person A will stop smoking and taking drugs without myself taking the effort to tell him and advise him to stop smoking and such.

Secondly, I ask that when you speculate something about me, feel free to check with me, to talk to me about it. But please for goodness sake do not make me a subject of idiotic gossip. Why is this so? Well I am sick and absolutely tired of having to try to please people. I would like to live the way I want to live, in accordance to what I believe is God's will, and in doing so it would be awesome to not have people constantly finding fault with me and finding something that I am doing wrong and stuff. Please, nobody is perfect, and if you feel I am doing something that is not right in your eyes come directly to me and bring it up in a proper manner. I assure you I will happily take constructive criticism, but if you treat me weird for some reason and you don't bring it up all I can say is you deserve to be thrown to a pool of hungry alligators.

Thirdly, would you please let me start afresh. I'd like to believe I am different every year, that as I grow older I learn from my mistakes and do my best to change for the better. It does not help to keep harping on the same old things that I may have done wrong in the past. Learn to see me in a new light and accept me for who I am. Is that so hard?

To summarise all I'm asking for is a bit of respect. Exercise discretion when spreading things about others, respect the privacy of others. All this I feel I have not really been getting from certain people. And as I'm sure many of you know I have two very big pet peeves. Number 1 is having my plans disrupted without sufficient notice. Like last minute I cannot make its or school meetings when I have plans and such. Number 2 is being accused of things without being given a fair chance to defend myself, to give my stand. These are the two things that will get me rather upset. Which brings me onto my next point.

I have always been rather hot tempered and not very good at exercising self-control, to a certain extent due to my stand that everyone should treat others as they would others treat them. I realise now that I cannot expect everyone to live by this. I apologise to my classmates especially for often going somewhat "emo" on you guys and this year I will definitely try to handle my displeasure in a better, more proper way and also be more light hearted.

So once again I thank thee for trying to make my path straight, but I ask that you always bring it up with me and not spread it around.

That title was a hard one to think of mind you so please at least read it. Now recently a very shocking, stunning, astonishing and humourous thing occured. If any of you are finding that statement somewhat similar to one of my facebook statuses that's because I'm talking about the same thing.

Seriously, I have no clue what's going on but Mr Wee's relationship is one to remember. Fear not for I will provide the jolly shandy for your engagement party. Well sir I wish you all the best and perhaps with your increased popularity you can like I don't know increase fan base or something. This is the day we will always remember, as the day that Dwee hooked up with Jack Sparrow :D

Moving on, I finally finished my photosynthesis online lecture, and obviously my plans to do a lot of work in the holidays have once again failed. But I shall not let that bother me and I will slowly crawl my way back into actually knowing things again.

Wei's blog is always so full of like deep emotional things, it's rather scary. And then on his tagboard he says that his blog is the place he's supposed to say these things and so I shall follow suit. Ok actually I got nothing to say so I shan't follow Wei but go Wei whatever Wei-rd things you're up to.

So to end this rather boring post I shall talk about things that I can actually talk about! You guessed it, the NBA! THE CELTICS SUCK THE CELTICS SUCK THEY LOST FOR THE 7th TIME IN 9 GAMES LOSER CELTICS LOSER CELTICS TAKE THAT FOR BEATING THE LAKERS WITH YOUR CHEAPO DIRTY DEFENSE HAHA GO LEBRON OWN THEM!!!! Meanwhile, the Lakers beat the Pacers on a game winner by Kobe with like 3s to go and the Kings actually put up a fight against the Miami Heat!

Oh I have a question. When?

Today I went for training. Yes that's actually enough of a statement to make a post on it's own.
Anyway I survived and I am sort of stepping down from the leadership position, for betterment of team. Quite cool with that haha, in fact I'm quite relieved. Then I went to the polyclinic and I got a nice stash of vitamin B tablets.

No relation to Cruella de Ville. But I just read about it, and a lot of the symptoms and characteristics of people who have it fit me... My goodness I may have just found what may be causing all my weird things!!

Your star player scores 45 points and gets 6 assists, making 13-24 from the field (including 7-12 from 3) and 12-12 from the line.
Your bench age old veteran guard gets 10 rebounds 15 points and 5 assists.

Sound good? Well. Kings still lose 117-122 to the Pacers.

I love the kings. They give my life tragedy

Today I went for a wedding, and it was really good. The pastor really put marriage into perspective, what wives and husbands really should do. I'm not one who has personally been around very good marriages, and just hearing the vows, hearing what all this cahooty-love thing really is all about really made a mark on me somewhere deep down.

How often do we desire such love, how often do people rush into relationships for this sense of being loved. But I think the real question one should ask is, am I ready to love. Because if you aren't, you shouldn't be rushing into any relationship and expecting to get love back.

I summarise rather loosely what the pastor said. For wives, adapting from scripture where it says Wives submit to your husbands. You have to respect, honor etcetc your husband, and that means putting him before everything else, including career. That means praising him every single day every single hour. I seem to remember the guy's side more. Husbands are commanded to love their wives. This means never having resenting her, always being patient, never saying an angry word to her, to communicate your differences in a proper manner, to still stand by her no matter how annoyed you may be with her, to never lust after another.

While this may be like an after marriage thing, I really feel that people should start taking steps towards reaching that the moment they enter a relationship. It's not just about being together, spending time together - it's about protecting and supporting each other. I met an old teacher of mine at the wedding reception, and in passing he mentioned how being attached in JC is very time consuming and how it often affects your grades, the result usually being break up. If couples would learn to support each other, that would also mean supporting each other through exams, through school life. That means cutting the 20 minutes of "no you hang up first" so you can have 5 minutes to do your tutorial after you spend 15 minutes looking for it. That means not being overly possessive and realising that the other person needs their other friends as well. That means being willing to sacrifice your self interest, and actively looking out for the person you are committed too. That means needing to know the person a lot better, and that means a certain somebody isn't even near to being ready.

Happy New Year everyone! May 2009 be an awesome year for all of you. God Bless!
