PLAYING THE GUITAR ON A BOAT!

"PLAYING THE GUITAR IS LIKE MAKING A BOAT... YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT MOVES PROPERLY FIRST BEFORE YOU THINK OF WHETHER TO PUT ARCADES OR A CINEMA IN IT RIGHT?... ITS THE SAME.. IN GUITAR YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SMOOTH DYNAMISM AND RYTHM TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.. THEN YOU DECIDE HOW TO SPICE IT UP.. WITH THE RIFFS AND ALL" -geoffry aw-

HAHA.. that was what my guitar said just now during lesson... inspirational eh.. haha.. i guess this man has been one heck of a guita teacher... taught me so much new style of play.. and is probably feuling my constant love for acoustic songs... he's taught me how to block chords.. how to do bridge chord playing.. how to play it rock style... whats 3-3 3-4.. how to ace dynamism in my play... he's just taught me alot... haha... MR GEOFFRY AW IS A GOOD TEACHER!!.. =)) he play piano too.. so talented...

HER-"you know something?"

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
Bm A
On a snow white Christmas Eve
D A
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
Bm A
With the baby in the backseat
D A Bm A
Fifty miles to go and she was running low, on faith and gasoline
G
It'd been a long hard year
D A
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
Bm A
She was going way too fast
D A
And before she knew it she was spinning
Bm A
On a thin black sheet of glass
D A
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
Bm A
She didn't even have time to cry
G D
She was so scared, she threw her hands up in the air


A
Jesus take the wheel
E
Take it from my hands
Bm D
Cause I can't do this on my own
A
I'm letting go
E
So give me one more chance
Bm D
Save me from this road I'm on
D A Bm A D A G
Jesus take the wheel


D A
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
Bm A
And the car came to a stop
D A
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Bm A
Sleeping like a rock
D A
And for the first time in a long time
Bm A
She bowed her head to pray
G D
She said I'm sorry for the way, I've been living my life
G D
I know I've got to change, so from now on tonight



A
Jesus take the wheel
E
Take it from my hands
Bm D
Cause I can't do this on my own
A
I'm letting go
E
Just give me one more chance
Bm D
Save me from this road I'm on
A E Bm D
Oh Jesus take the wheel
A
Ohh I'm letting go
E
So give me one more chance
Bm D
Save me from this road I'm on
Bm D
Just from this road I'm on
A Bm
Jesus take the wheel
A D A
Oh, take it, take it from me
Bm A Bm - A
Oh whaaaa ooooh......

END

JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL TAKE IT FROM MY HANDS... cos i cant do this all on my own.. im letting go.. im letting go... i know that ive failed everyone this time.. but i know jeses has my back.. im letting him drvie my life

STUDY DATE WITH STEPH AND MOS TOMOROW!!woots .. =)

THIS JUST SUCKS... THIS TOTALLY SUCKS... i dont know what to do.. i have no idea... DEAR LORD CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?... im a confused person when judgement day came... im stood rooted in expectation and hopes... i stood rooted thinking that the cliche phrase "with evey dark cloud there is a silver lining" would somehow happen to me... WELL IT DIDNT... i was left with dark clouds hovering all all around... i just couldnt believe... couldnt believe this was happening to me... what did i do wrong ?... what did i fail in?... the thoughts hovered and faded... but emotion eventually set in when i heard regina talking to the class.. when i heard mr tan comfort us and the teachers curiously looking over to see who were the "unlucky ones"...

music was always my comfort for any situation.. but this time it totally didnt help... i listened in a daze.. what to say to my family... what to say to my friends... what to say to my siblings... am i a good example at all?...i hate being compared...and the traditional fear filled me... this was it... this had my name writen all over it.. and i knew throughout the year... the things that happenened.. that this isnt going to be a fairy tale ending...

i can honestly tell you im confused..wavering between staying here in where i feel is home... or leaving and going into untested poly grouds?... i feel a strong urge for both... im wavering in the middle... i dont know what to do... retaining.... it doesnt sound good.. but ive got the benefit of doing this all over again... and do it well....

IM SORRY... sorry 1s18 that i cannot be there for you all and be your class rep every again... sorry mum and dad.. i dissapointed you all the most... sorry my dear friends esp marcus who studied with me and had so much faith... i really woke up too late... sorry all who prayed for me and was with me through this promo period.. amos steph jm sy feli.. all the church ppl... i dissapointed myself....the hopes and expectations.... i played with fire and i didnt wear no protective gear...

I guess in life.. all you need to do is move and dont make a fuss about whats already done... because like kid rock says... "LET THIS ROLLERCOASTER RIDE ON, COS WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE A GOOD TIME"... i really had a great and memeorable j1 year... and the friends i made are really amazing... i had so much fun and the memories and forever etched in this mind...

I NEED YOU DEARLY LORD... NEED YOUR GUIDING HAND... I KNOW IVE BEEN FAR... I KNOW I HAVE... BUT IM WILLING TO CHANGE.. BECAUSE I WANT TO BE BY YOUR SIDE...

PRESUMPTION IN THE AIR... if i say something... dont twist it the other way will you?

heyyy people... back ranting... ranting about what has past and what i think is about to come...

sunday was church.. and pastor yaps message really hit home... it told me of how when people leave the war field...you still carry on fighting for the Lord... it told me... it was a sign.. that if i should retain that i take it with pride and glory.. with all that i have go for gold... my pathway litted a never seen before light... now after all that doom and gloom.. retaining doesnt seem like the end of the world at all... like my mum said " if you choose this route.. you should end with it".... i want to be that christian left in the battle grounds... i want to fight till the end for the Lord... i wont give up... i'll never back down... poly's 3years seem sooo sooo far... its times like these that the Lord is my strength...

i regret... taking all the plunges and not knowing whats below... this time the plunge was way too deep and it sunk my ship...sunk all the hopes and expectations i carry with myself...i always thought i was outgoing and at the same time a pretty smart person... coming to a jc.... i thought i could ace this curriculum... but it proved taxing and tough... without friends this would've been one hell of a drag...

HOPE... i hope a lot of things... i hope that people would stop procrastinating and come straight to the point... i hope for the world and its voilence to come to a standstill.. i hope for the future i have always dream of... i theres hope.. there light.. and if theres light theres bound to be a way out... =))

today with you made me feel like myself... i dont care what other people think because you are one hell of a friend and i have to admit one of my best buddies in school... i can relate... i can advice.. i can talk... but none as heartwarming and as heart to heart as with you...

i despise the desperados... i despice those that think theyve got it all but the fact is they lack the most.... i think the people who are desperate for that girl and are raging over with hormones to get her in their arms are just plain sickos...

I HAVE ALOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO.. ALOT TO LIVE.. AND TILL THE DAY I LET MY HAIR DOWN.. I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME MAN... =)till another day people... byeee!!

THE PRETTY METROPOLIS OF VANCOUVER...=)
its wasnt known for what it was...
dated old fashioned... out of the way...
just a land.. a barren land...

now its full of life.. so of story.. full of songs..
its the hub of what is canda now...
many people call vancouver a city of coffee,nightlife and fashion..

whenever you recall the past and think about the present..
how we change how we evolve..
the reflections never show the old... always the new...
how can history ever help...
how can it ever repeat itself?...
why cant we invent a mirror that tells of our future and not just reflect the present...
because when the truth hits us it hits us smack in the face...

im finding solace in even the most simple of things...
like a nice lunch...
a walk down kovan with my mp3 humming in my ear...
a quiet morning walk...
knowing the person in the car who drives by...
smashing bowling pins inside out...
laughing and smiling with my friends...
having heart to heart chats...
finding that someone knows you exist...
playing KILLER pool =)...

some people may ask "WHY CANT YOU EVER LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE?"
if a puzzle looses a piece wouldnt it loose its value and perfection?..
wouldnt it seem wrong and unfitting?....

im starting to think.. think about life as it is and will be..
am i looking at the big picture?...
if you're not looking at the details... you're never right....

TILL ANOTHER DAY PEOPLE... HOPE MY DAD RECOVERS FROM HIS OPERATION WELL... AND GOD BLESS...=)

MY 120TH POST... =)... this blog has come a long way... and ive just realised.. so have i... since the day i stepped into this jc... this jc called srjc... the many friends ive made.. the bonds that will never ever break... now everything looks as if its falling apart.. looks as if its gonna end soon.. so very soon... PW is ending in 2 to 3 weeks time... im going to miss each and everyone in SR119... everyone in team A STAR... school life for j1 is going to end soon too... ill probably retain.. its not a good feeling but ill have to swallow those hidden emotions and just move on with life... i love my friends in 1s18...in srjc... my retainee freinds tell me its gonna be tough staying behind... i know... i tried my best i really did... i tried to put the blame on alot of things.. but i know most of whats happening now is because of me... complacency... slacking offf... i'm going to miss the fun we all had...i'm going to miss the 2009 j1 batch... its a sinking feeling... it really is... =/...

these few days have been an emotional roller coaster ride... monday left me shell shocked and completely stunned... i totally didnt know what to do... and everywhere i turned the faces were of blank despair...even my dearest friend... chad... seemed like he couldnt take the blow...it didnt have to be this way... only if all of us were more hardworking... i dont get to see you again do i?....

PW GROUP SR119.. aka: TEAM A STAR... the memories we have had so far.. =)














the FUN we had... we are just one hell of a pw group... by the way... the last photos not trying to be offensive.. jsut trying to compare how small gays hands are and how big mine are..x)).. AAAAASSTTARR!!..rawr

OP today was pretty fun.. considering we did it last minute.. turned out not as good as the other groups.. but im sure we'll flatten the oppostiiton once we get on a roll!... =)meeting my pw grp takes me away from depression...

today was pretty fruitful.. i wanted to bowl my frustrations alone.. but maxi and bh made the day much better... =) thanks angela for the orange umbrella!!.. saved my computer and my life... hehe....

WANT to also thank shermaine...for her constant support.. cos she's the man!!... fabien for always being my buff brother... amos for being there.. rohith john and eterna for being the friends i know i can have a good time with... marcus and chad whom i know i can totally trust... and all those who care...
