Words of Memories

Lol, look at my snare's bottom drumhead , it was broken long time ago, probably around 3 months already, but I didn't care about it until yesterday, I just removed the drumhead and replace with a unbroken one( transparent one, the sound quality sucks but no choice, rather than using the broken drumhead which will sound worse a lot more). introducing you the Evans bottom head! good one :D Aha! here comes the main point. My PMR results was announced today, I've gotten 7A's, and 1B which is Bahasa Melayu subject. Gahh, I'm not really sad though, cause I have already expected this to happen as I only got 20/40 questions correct in the objective paper . Well, as long as it is not C, it's good hah. I'm just satisfied, praise God, no matter what happens right? =) 7A's, 1B(BM) Well to those who was expecting themselves to score straight A's but didn't make it, don't be sad, I know a lot of you felt that you disappointed your parents, but as...

Aha! Look what I've got here, more pictures of me during my big day! The day when I performed my snare solo in Brunei. I'm still waiting for the DVD to come out because the video of my solo is inside of it! right stick on left hand juggling!  Yesterday morning, I held a sectional with my percussion section members from 8am-12pm. I taught all my juniors to play all the auxiliary percussion instruments(tambourine, maracas, shakers etc..), followed by the drum set. Finally, there was 1 hour left, I got them sticks-ou t til the end of the sectional. Brenda, she loves posing while tapping. Chin Chian, learning! :D Finally, last night, I accompanied my dad to go to my aunt's phone shop to purchase himself a new handphone as his previous handphone went to 'laundry' in the washing machine on the previous night and died . I suggested him to buy C902 , that was the previous(2nd ) phone that I used but haplessly it(my previous phone) was stolen at the badminton court....

Me, and some of the CH band members (Ricky, Allan, Michelle, Natalie, ah Yie, Eric Rawing and Lorex) were invited to perform in MOTH 3 concert in Brunei. We have been practicing regularly, and finally we departed to Brunei on the 1st of December. The actual concert date was on the 4th of Dec, we went there earlier as we have to polish up the music and attend the rehearsals. And we were back on the 5th of Dec. The pictures below are the evidences of us practicing =P cut the person at the right =) *the reason I say cut is that they didn't perform with us after all. our group's leader, Lick'y da Ricky! Allan at the left, and sorry have to say that cut the person at the right there too -o- Jong, we're on Earth! mmhmm~ cut the 2 person at the left ^^ Here's a little tale of the journey. On the first day, everyone was wearing long pants and shoes, except me, ah Yie and Allan who were being too clever >.<. Everything was alright, until we reached RTB Dewan Raya...

Uh huh!! My order from Offworld Percussion has arrived! It's a V3 invader drum pad!! It's so cool to play on, I bought it because I've seen a lot of Blue Devils snare drummers were using this pad too! Shall I upload a video of I playing on the pad? hehehe!! tasty!!!! great service Did you see a small bottle of liquid in the box? It's a liquid that I have to apply it on the pad to keep its quality good. Still curiou s about it? Buy it! Well I'm gonna be away from tomorrow until next Monday for the band camp. Take care, readers!  And thanks for reading! =D

Mushrooms, can you smell it? I can smell it though, not beside you or me, but it's in front of you and me, in the web page you are reading or viewing! I have been drumming and playing online games recently. Almost forgotten my this lovely and precious bloggy! Anyway, I'm here to sweep all the mushrooms away from my bloggy now. Well, as I said, I drummed a lot nowadays, A LOT! You will understand after looking at the photo below. =) This is my right hand's finger. I don't know why does it still hurt as I've hurt that part of my finger before . The condition in the picture above was about 1 week ago though, now it is fully recovered, looks like normal finger now. I hope I will have a pair of "special skin hands" though, so that I will never get hurt of my hand in the future no matter how hard I drum. =) ____________ I've called upon my Percussion juniors to stay back until 4:30pm to have a sectional with them last Friday. There were like aro...

Look! After nagging my mom for several months, she had finally dug her spare time out to cook aloe vera water for me! It requires a very long time to clean and wash the sticky juice of the pure aloe vera. Anyway, finally, I could drink and eat it again! I'm happy! =D Count your blessings, readers! :D

Since PMR has past, my life can be described as 'whole day drumming' lols. These few days, I went to school, and I stayed in the band room to practice drumming as there were no more teaching lessons by teachers AND although I didn't go back to class, I have heard that many classmates were absent and my teachers didn't go to my class too. So I have been drumming very hard these days, and today I have called upon Jon and Roland to stay back in the afternoon until 4pm to train their drumming skills. As a result, I have drummed for 9 hours non-stop today! What an amazing day LOL. *ouch!* Well as you see, those are the parts of injuries that I got in my right palm. It's quite weird because I've been drumming harder at home than at school! At home when I drummed on pads , I didn't get any injury but at school when I drummed on drums , I've gotten these little holes! =_= God bless you all, readers! =)

PMR has finally come to an end! I'm back to colorize this rusty blog! Yes, the tough time has past, let's not talk about my plan after PMR first. About the PMR, I think I've done well in all the exams except for Science and Malay! I did a lot of unnecessary mistakes in paper 2(subjective), but I've done well in paper 1(objective) though, I hope I will still score A for Science!! About BM, this is quite despondent because I've scored very very bad result in paper 1 but I think I've done well in paper 2, I really hope I can get A too! I meant, I really need that straight A's so much! So! Hey comes my plan for this coming days! 1) I'm gonna practice(drumming) very very hard although I've been practicing for at least 2 hours everyday in the past(included during PMR). 2) I'm gonna hold a lot of sectionals to train my juniors and also my drumline. Because I really want them to be very very good, I meant I want all of us! =D That's all, dru...

Now I officially announce that exam + study mode is : ON!

When I was preparing for drumming practice just now, the switched-on-fan in my room produced a noisy sound, so I approached the fan and discovered that the cover of the fan was loose. Without switching off the fan, I tried to fix it. The moment I was fixing it, my fingers accidentally 'touched' the spinning blade of the fan and there I hurt my middle finger. It bled, so I went into the washroom and washed away the blood and applied some sort of medicine on my injury. So today, I can't practice drumming again because my pity precious middle finger(which produces the most energy among all the fingers on the right hand) is hurt. I didn't practice yesterday too because my left ring finger was hurt due to over-practicing. How hapless am I right? Anyway, maybe God let all these happened because He really wants me to study harder as I'm facing some very important exams in my life soon which are the 2nd Trial Exam and the exact PMR Exam . So, I wont blame Him for this, h...

What comes into your minds when you see OR hear 1-300-88-2525? Pizza hut!! All of my family members except me went out for dinner tonight. So my mom asked me to online to order pizza hut, so I did! The delivery was quite fast, not even pass 30 minutes! One thing I was not happy about it was the deliverer. I was going out to take my pizza happily just now. After I paid that guy, he told me : "next time look at the weather first before you order, it's raining." Wow? My good mood has been spoiled by him, what a attitude? That's his job to deliver pizzas. Anyway, I didn't care about him, all I did after that was... EAT PIZZA!!! :D Oh yeah! This is the pizza that is being promoted on the Pizza Hut website. But I don't think that it's delicious. It's just tasteless, I had to apply the pizza with tomato sauce to make it tasty. Anyway I won't order this pizza again. Couldn't finish all, was too full! =/ Keep your saliva in your mouth, readers!...

I have 2 drum practice pads. Many people said 1 pad will be enough. But since I've already bought them, so I have to take good use of them. For the Vic Firth double sided pad, I often use it. Because I use this pad to warm-up before I start off my practice, practice rudiments, play chops exercises and so on. So everytime I will start off my practice with this pad first. For the Blue Devils logo snare pad, I use it to play some sort of music stuff such as the musics I wrote, Ditty, and my solos. This is because this pad has been laminated and it has snares plugged on the underside which produces a real snare drum sound. So when I play on this pad, it makes me feel like I'm playing on a snare drum too. That's all for this post, sorry if I've written something that you don't understand, reader. Wait for the next post, okay? God bless. :D

 Today is 53rd year anniversary of independence of my country, Malaysia. And so, me and my school band had performed in the indoor stadium this morning. After that, we had nothing to do, plus today is public holiday for all! So we, some of the form 3 kids went to ah Ben's condominium for a swim in the afternoon. We had a great time together. Below are few photos of us when we were having fun, thanks to Michelle for helping us to take photo.  hehe :P the sunlight was very strong, it was around 4:30pm at that time. pose recommended by Michelle. xD More photos and VIDEOS of us having swimming competition will be uploaded into my facebook profile soon. Stay tuned! =D

Hey readers, guess what? I've gotten the 2nd runner-up place in the Joggerthon Contest. I'm very satisfied, because the 1st and the 2nd place runners are athletes who represent Sarawak to go for Malaysia Competition. And the 4th place runner is an athlete too. Actually, before the flag off of the Joggerthon Contest, I thought that I wouldn't have won any prize, as I could see a lot of athletes were taking part in this run too. So the flag off was done, we began our run. In the beginning, a lot of people were ahead of me, but I just maintained my speed as usual like when I trained myself. But, I felt the feeling of panic . Soon, I started to overtake other runners, but my legs still panic. Until I ran pass my school, there were some of my band members, waiting at the bus-stop for buses to bring them to the Stadium for Merdeka Performance rehearsal. They cheered for me, then the panic feeling has gone. I started to run confidently til I was placing the 4th. The 3rd place ...

PMR-Trial 1 examination has finally come to an end. I hope I did score well in this exams, at least improvement please? Anyway, there are more things to face in the coming days. I will sit for my PMR exams in less than 50 more days! I've gotta work very hard to settle down with my 3 weakest subjects - KH, Sejarah and Science. Well, tomorrow is the day that I have been waiting for - Joggerthon Contest! I've also been training intensively for this contest. To those who supported and donated me money in order to join this contest, I promise that I will do my very best not to let you all down okay? I hope this little thing will work tomorrow. =/ ~End~

Ouch!! My left leg's somewhere is hurt (I don't know what is this part called). It was hurt due to the rubbing between my leg and my shoes. I realized my leg was hurt after I have finished my long-distance run of 5km just now. Actually I have already felt a little bit of pain while I was jogging, but I couldn't stop, because I was building my stamina, I would have lost the stamina if I've stopped. Anyway, I will still continue to train myself in long-distance running, maybe I'll run up to 7km because I'm taking part in the Joggerthon Contest which is hold by the Roman Catholic Church, Miri. I hope I will get at least top 3, so I'm having an intensive training for myself this month. I've spent 28 minutes to complete runing distance of 5km just now, which was still not a good result. In the past, I'd spent 25 minutes to complete 5km. So, I must manage my running strategy well, I have to improve myself to complete 5km in 20 minutes, so that the chance...

 Hooray, my orders from the Blue Devils have arrived! I was so excited when I saw the Poslaju letter asking me to go to the its general office to claim my stuff. So, here it is!! :D  the box!! all the items! my Blue Devils logo practice pad!! and I took a photo with it! haha!!  Here is a video, I was testing with it, just to let you all know the sound quality of the pad. Btw, the stuff I played in this video is the music I wrote - Yark'y. It will sound cooler on real snare drum. =)

Chuay duay!! (means help me in Thai) My first PMR trial exam is around the corner, and yet I still practice drumming skills everyday and didn't do much revisions! Everytime, I told myself: "I'm going to study later!". I brought my book into my room, put it on the table, and I just didn't know how and when did I start to practice drumming skills on my practice pad! I just can't don't practice for one day, I have to improve my skills everyday, because there are reasons behind this. I don't have much time left for something, so I have to work extremely hard in order to succeed my dream. I know, this might affect my studies now, but I know that God has planned everything in my life, He has a purpose for every single happenings. So I trust God, I believe that He will bring me to walk across everything in my life. I have been always praying to Him about it. =) I will do my best to control too, will try to do revisions. Count your blessings, readers. Do ...
