Yeah he said I have no talent in music
I'm the one who lead the choir group in my school..
I'm the one using my hearing ability to improve and harmonise "stand by me" song for our grandmother. And the credit goes to the eldest among us siblings, my sis.
I'm the one who've not seen any songs tutorial and learn from them. I learn by music scores and no matter how I will follow that path.
I'm not even grade 1 yet, though I can't detect any chords for a song, I can play the full melody(original tone) by hearing and practicing just a bit. In fact, I can create my very own melody(Right Hand). This means that I can create songs! And I'm still just few months touching my piano.
If I managed to learn music in a proper way and to be exact, if I have been educated in music since I'm young.. I dare say that I might be another music prodigy in this world.
And to say that I'm not really interested in contemporary music, that I'm much more attracted to classics, but do you think a not-even-grade-1 fella can play all these songs? Susah nak harap la..
Quality is always better than Quantity. Though honestly my eldest sister knows how to play more complete songs than me, my tempo and smoothness of a song won't lose. Learning through music scores is a hard way than just follow a pianist's hand running in a piano on Youtube. But this will eventually pay off one day. While through scores, I will master sight-reading one day.. So don't think that early achievement will be far ahead compared to the slow one.
That's all.

Wrong Choice
Yeap indeed I've made a wrong choice in studying STPM, but that's life! I'm just gonna stand up and run the whole race. I know I can do it, but Dentistry? Hmm...
It all started when SPM results came out. Everyone is starting to have their career be their goals so they took the subjects they're interested in. Me? Nah.. How can I be a musician?(yeah my primary goal was to become a musician, a pianist, a maestro....) eyes that stated "You have no talent" glared at me.. Yeah I'm not as talented but yeah, I'm better than a lot people too. Never know when you never tried eh? haha but I have no chance on it.
"Music as a career for men? You won't earn enough living for a family."
"There are a lot of talented people other than you, you won't survive."
Thus it was my farewell to music education, then I thought "I love electronics, computer, programs... Hmm.. Programming should be fun!" So this is my second choice, Programming. I got interested on how computers, programs etc work.
"A lot of people are taking these.. You must be very successful to earn a lot!"
HANCUR! haha so my mom kept saying that Dentist is a good job. Well obviously, because she went there every few weeks(maybe?) and got charged for more than RM200. Then yeah that's when I thought.. Okay since I like to help people out.. and I love Red Crescent so much.. I should try this, and I made Dentistry my goal now.
And because of Dentistry I must take STPM.
Now, I'm getting the feel that I shouldn't be here, in STPM. But half a year is already gone. I'm now stuck.. I can't turn back now.. Dentistry all the way now.. =)
I feel guilty. If I am really decisive I would've made a bold choice at going for music or tech educations.. I will be even more happier that way.
Lets hope I can endure this choice for life that I've made now.. I can do it! =)

Fun day
30th of November 2010
Today I went to college to do my group experiments with Hui Yee, Simone, Janice and Vivian.(The only guy here XD)
Yup it was fun, since I am the only guy there.. Got used lol. They asked me to use my MANPOWAA~(man's strength) to help them to collect soils. haha
Besides that, Vivian brought a 小强(xiu qiong, in cantonese, a name for cockroach) for the insect collection assessment. From that I realised how cute is a cockroach, despite how dirty it is. hehe
After the experiment, we went out for lunch, leaving Vivian alone =( (sorry Vivian XD) and played pool XD
On the way back, I went to KLCC to see whether the HTC HD7 are there to be viewed. Alas I saw one at the HTC store. The "promoter/manager/whoever he is" was holding one and I was like: "Whoah, is it THE HD7?" and he smiled nodding his head. My face was covered with smile when I saw how fast the phone is ^^ Definitely must win this phone in the contest! =)
I saw the iPad too~!! Wow I'm amazed at the smoothness of that device. It's so great I couldn't describe lol.
That's it for today..

Nice one~
I loved how my pastor joked about a verse yesterday
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”(KJV) the last paragraph from 1st Corinthians 15:32
Then my pastor said: "in our time now, we would say "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we DIET!""
Quite true lol
Anyway, I don't think there's a lot of people wandering in my blog already, thanks to me for not touching it for quite some long time.
Thanks to my brother Joseph(not real bro, but in Christ), and also brother Unsgar for taking me to gym after every Sunday Service. I feel strong! and now my back hurts! all because yesterday's workout was all for the backs.. @.@
ah been lazy these days.. I need to win that HTC HD7! Been trying so hard now.. Hope you guys can help me =)

The 7th day of the week
13th November 2010
Today is Saturday, also known as the Sabbath day. What is Sabbath day? it literally means Rest day in the Bible, the Word of God.
I guess you wonder why I would talk about that right? It all happens when few Koreans preached their interpretation of the Gospel for me. I was shocked at that time to know that I was so unprepared in my Bible knowledge. I almost knew nothing regarding the Bible. So, they kept on "attacking" me in different ways, saying that my church teachings are incorrect and theirs are true. They've asked why our service is held on Sunday but not Saturday, which is the Sabbath day? the Holiest day of the week, where God Himself asked the Jews to observe it? My mind was totally blank. I was flanked by 3 of them, not knowing what to answer, nor how to just run from them. So I would just accept what they were talking about. Besides that, they also talked about why Christmas shouldn't be celebrated and why the Passover event MUST be observed and kept.
But through God's grace, I was able to ask my senior, a near fourty brother in Christ regarding Sabbath and Sunday, the Lord's day when I'm on the way back home. He gave me a website. http://www.middletownbiblechurch.org/reformed/sabbath.htm
This really explains why our church does our service on Sunday instead. I was relieved that there was really such answer to that. I believe I chose the correct church. So I replied them through SMS with the link included. But they are hard-headed, not willing to give up on me, to bring me to their church; to convert me into their belief. Not long then I was getting annoyed by them. @.@
Now they've asked that I should meet them during Monday afternoon, after my school ends. Should I meet them? knowing that they will keep on trying to convince that my church practice wrong teachings? Do leave a comment here. Thanks
Ah and by the way, my [all about smartphone] website is on! http://smartphoneit.blogspot.com

Damn I really need a new phone..
6 September 2010
I love my phone, my Xperia X1, but I need to move on.. So I've been working hard on the Windows Phone 7 contest. Trust me, you wouldn't know I would send 1000+ friends about this right? @.@
So now I'm half dead, dad knows I'll lose my scholarship. Hmm.. I wonder how many more people will experience the same? even people who REALLY study got 55 marks for Biology, I can't imagine mine =.="
Will soon try to install ROMs for Ms. Simone's HD2, hmm.. kinda pressured though, just because it isn't mine, so I'm kinda scared of bricking her phone.. Wish me luck! I got to do some reading about it first LOL
I feel like stopping something, because my true passion isn't that. I once said I liked the other one, but obstacles blocked my way, it prevented me to fly further. Who knows? I might soar way beyond if I try..
