"YOUR FAV BAND,WHAT,AVENGED SEVEN..SEVEN..X.CALLED YOU GUYS KIDS!HAHAHA!"
that's my adorable dad for you.he was reading the newspaper which had the REVIEW for the concert,and he started laughing OUT LOUD.and above was what he said.word for word.SEVEN X...hahaha.it's sevenfold.not x.FOLD.hahaha
sometimes my parents wonder why i like heavymetal.my mom asked me "why you listen to such music?" whenever i flaunt my heavymetal cds in front of them going "YAY!I FINALLY GOT THE CD!!"
I am living to make your name high!
i miss avenged sevenfold.i miss the concert,because they are really awesome live.they have improved sooooo much since the rock am ring concert yrs ago.
but anyway,really miss them.on sunday,when i passed by marina mandarin,i cant helped but to think of all the memories i had.that's the hotel which a7x stayed at during their stay here.
but anyway,today i am feeling really bad,my throat was really bad yesterday night that i vomitted.and today,it was getting a lot better,but my head is pain and my nose is all blocked up.
argh,suppose to meet tch,but guess i have to rest at home.what a way to spend a public holiday.
well,my dad said it's because of the concert,but i doubt so,i think it's a flu bug.
argh,or it might just be because i miss a7x too much till my body cant take it.
i need to get some sleep real soon.
I am living to make your name high!
my body is still aching from all the moshing.
my neck hurts because of the headbanging.
my legs hurt because of the pressure from the pushing.
my hands too.

AVENGED SEVENFOLD ROCKS!!!!!!!!
yesterday was awesome.
rushed down to expo to wait at around 10.50,met these 2 girls who were before us,they are from sp too.but they are all year 1,made me feel so old.
the waiting was really tiring.made me feel so dead and sleepy.that is until this group of fans behind us started smoking in the queue.and we became passive smokers for the day.really smelly like hell.
but by the time it's 6,everyone started standing and squeezed towards the door,we were like solid atoms,that close.fixed and cant move.saw this cute guy,who looked like his malay,but also dont look at.but anyway he's cute.
and finally the doors opened at 7,everyone started squeezing,i got in,and had my bag checked,and straight away i started running towards the stage.
i ran like some CRAZY FELLOW.and got like 3rd.4th row.
then when the opening band started,everyone was like BOO.i feel kinda bad for them,but once they started,we all just started headbanging,and that was when people started pushing.
to stay balanced,i had to like step on people's feet.poor fellows,but hey i got to survive out there.the opening band's bassist is really cute too. :D
but anyway,after that,we had to wait for a while and finally A7X CAME OUT.
they started with CRITIAL ACCLAIM.everyone was moshing,and i FELL.yeah.i fell on my knees.and mae's friend tahqeem,he quickly grab me and pulled me up.the guy beside me,who was on CRUTCH,also fell.and ever since then,tahqeem was like holding me from behind and protecting me from all the moshing.
and from 4th row,we became like 8th row.and we were like in a small mosh pit,and there was a big one just beside me.real hardcore.
NOW I CAN SAY "HEY I'VE BEEN IN A MOSH PIT BEFORE!" and there were body surfers around me.
yeah,at some point i wanted to just give up,but i told myself,NO I MUST SURVIVE.but luckily tahqeem was there to pushed people if they pushed me.
yeah,so they sang like 9 songs,ended with A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN.then after the concert,we dashed down to the hotel to wait.finally saw the sound crew.the BERRY BROTHERS!!handsome guys.and finally A7X!!i took a video of them coming out,but there were a lot of fans.
but syn is like some freaking ice queen.he didnt even stop to take a pic or something.wth.wonder what's his problem.
but anyway,called it a day,awesome experience.really a HARDCORE HEAVYMETAL FANS.
my legs are aching like shit.people stepping on my feet.but i stepped on them too.and at some point in the concert,i was like WTH PUSH ME I PUSH YOU TOO.shittzo.
one of the saddest part was there were a lot of ah bengs at the concert.shocking.but that's what happens when they went mainstream.
i had an awesome experience,glad to share it with mae,lizanne,crystal and tahqeem.the body guard for the night.
I am living to make your name high!
first day of being a stalker.
seriously tiring.if you are the kind who loves to wait,then this is THE job for you.
if only a7x just stayed longer at the airport to snap more photos and chat a word or two more,then we wouldnt need to go to their hotel to wait.
but still i managed to snap a photo with johnny and matt.
i kinda wish i got a photo of syn,but it's alright.
seeing him is pretty cool too.
the berry brothers were really cute and handsome too.
when mae wanted to snap a photo with them,they kept saying "we are not in the band" and when matt came out,they went "shadows's over there,shadows's over there."
let's hope tml will be a way BETTER day.
really sleepy.but shit,i still need to do INDS.
what a bummer.
I am living to make your name high!
i am really happy today.
was going home,saw his friends walking along.
i had a gut feeling.
and i was right,there he was sitting,playing with his v9 phone.
nice to see you again,friend.

AFTER MUCH PERSISTENCE.....
i finally got hold of Avenged Sevenfold's Live in LBC DVD.
so the battle began when i handed the dvd over to the cashier,and she was like oh ID please.
so i went SHIT in my mind,because i forgot to bring it along.yesh it was my fault to forget,but she didnt have to be that rude and stuck up.
so i looked over to mike,saying "surely you can buy",and he searched hurriedly for his ID,but didnt bring it too.
so he took out his sch ID,and said "i've got this,can this proof anything?"
the lady took it,examine it for like a whole minute.and finally decided to cash it in for me.
i was pissed so i decided to just cool down while he handled it.
i walked out and went "what is her problem?! she thinks she can stop someone who is below 18 to buy this?!please!"
but after much cooling down,i thought i shouldnt be mad since it's her job and she was just doing her job.
mike went "HEY WE DONT LOOK 18!!!"yea..considering we are actually above 18,it's a compliment...i guess.or it could be that we look really childish,which is bad.
but in case you are wondering why i am so mad,it's because i've waiting for the dvd to come out,which was suppose to like a month ago,and when i finally gotten hold of it,the last thing i want is for someone to deny me my rights to purchase it.
I am living to make your name high!
hot guy alert. :Danyway,spent my school time loading a7x videos,and i cant stop laughing at some of their clips from the LBC dvd.
i want it real soon.singapore is taking too long to import it.
anyway,i finally put 2 a7x stuffs under my glass panel at my workspace in school.
feel so happy and accomplished.
now when i go to class,i get to see a7x on my desk.now that's pretty cool.
I am living to make your name high!
my mind has many worries.
one biggest worry is my inds,i emailed yami yoghurt with questions,and they have not reply me.
now i know how mae feels like.waiting for her PR to reply is like me waiting for YY to reply.
i can seriously start yanking my hair,which isnt a lot btw,out.
but i am trusting this in god's hands.
and ryan said that since i prayed,i should not worry.
but it's almost inevitable.
I am living to make your name high!
the new faces of zacky vengeance and synyster gates.look at syn's huge eyes.
and zacky's huge nostrils.
a testimony from me today,i was having some difficult moments early today.wanted to do something but it wasnt right.so i just went to seek the lord,and before i knew it,whatever i felt was gone.
:D
I am living to make your name high!
the more i think,the more i watch,the more i cant help feeling so damn excited!!!!!!!!!!above is just a banner i did for my lj,which i rarely use depending on my mood.
i want A7X's Live in LBC DVD!!!!!!!!!
there are so many b-sides i haven own yet.
argh....but i cant help it.
next friday people!!next friday!! *faints*
anyway,praise lord for today's grace!
I am living to make your name high!
tomorrow's the first day of 2nd sem.the only reason why i hate it is because i feel that i have not done enough research for my inds.
so i feel that i am unprepared,and damn i hate that feeling.when i shared with my caregrp at how lost i feel,i almost cried.
but i am trusting god with my inds,and am going to COMPLETE IT BY GRACE.
am trusting god that tomorrow when i have my very first consultation,it would be a good one.amen!
anyway,went for service today,and it was good.seeking the kingdom of god first.yes lord!and i got my portion,and the service was really funny.it was by rev col,guest rev,cause pastor prince is overseas preaching.
anyway,apart from that,it feels good to see everyone,not just from my caregrp but also from np.and desmond is botak,along with alex.2 botaks walking in suntec.kinda cute.
I am living to make your name high!
on friday,we went to charis's house for caregrp.we were reading the story of jehoshaphat and were asked to share about our fav verse.
so when charis asked me to share,i said i love verse 2 Chronicles 20:15,because there are times where we faced problems.and times where we feel that there's only so much we could do,so it's really encouraging to know that the problems are not ours but god's.so i mentioned about the stress i am going through for inds,and how i am not getting any ideas or drive to work.but when i read that verse,i got really motivated and am still trusting in god to give me great ideas.amen!
so yeah,but i tell you,when i said that,i really almost cried out,my tears were filling my eyes.and i kept telling myself "no dont cry!" so i just kept blinking and pretending that i was yawning.and i love chatting with cherri when we waiting for our bus too :D
and am trusting god that her problems will be over soon.
anyway,TODAY was cool,had a meeting to go to,for some briefing on rsm.then tch asked if i wanted to go watch eagle eye,and i did.
and the trailer may seem WHAT??
but then after the movie and getting everything,I LOVE IT LOTS.
must watch.shia lebeouf is really handsome.and i love his voice.manly tone of his.
anyway,praise lord for today i got the direction i asked for for my inds project and the starting to drive to work on it!
have fun guys!
I am living to make your name high!

:D have fun peeps.
I am living to make your name high!
*post edited*because i think i sounded really mean.so i take it all back.
anyway,yesterday chalet was alright.
to the team,it was kinda the most planned chalet i've been too.
anyway,tch,go sign up for that service.you know what i'm talking about.
you cant abandon me with ________!!!!
no!!!
but yay,i am serving in church on nov 15th.i always wanted to try RSM.
I am living to make your name high!
finally,i updated my belovedmecoco blog.i love the 2 verses i used for the entry.really love the story of Jehoshaphat.
anyway,really bummed out and out of focus lately.
hopefully,i regain my focus soon.
on sunday,there was an article on pastor prince.
and i love what he said.
if one believes right,he lives right.
amen to that!
I am living to make your name high!
got to finally go to arrow yesterday.
it was really awesome.got to just confide in god and give thanks to him.
praise and worship was great,though there were only a few musicians yesterday,so it feels kinda weird.
but the songs were great.
i got my portion about yesterday's service.
god's love for me never quits.
and if his love is for us,who will be against us?love that line.
anyway,after that,had dinner with parents and sis.
sometimes,i feel the topic that brings some tension to my family is religion.
my parents are buddhists,sis is freethinker.and my bro and i are christians.
and recently in the papers,there were articles regarding how much donations the church has,and sometimes my sis's remarks are really upsetting.
it's alright if she doesnt understand,but what she says is just disrespectful.
we dont give donations because we think that's what we ought to do.because it isnt.
we are not obligated to give donations.but we give because we got our portions.
so her remarks are really hurting and insulting.
she once said this remark that was so mean,my bro almost got upset and really angry.
so i didnt want that to happen so i just told him what pastor joshua said once.
when we see flesh,we should not react in flesh.
and when he heard that,immediately he didnt react in flesh.
----------------------------------------------------------------
anyway,mae and i are doing means to help us get to see a7x in person.
let's hope the plans she has will work!
I am living to make your name high!
i think i know why i love the song Tears of the Saint by Leeland.
the lyrics just say everything.
there are many prodigal sons in this world.
there are people who have lost hope and faith.
and people who been through failures and never got back up on their feet.
people who always have questions but never gotten any answers.
and we,believers,want to help them.
we want to bring them back home,to the house of god.
to know that there is a father who loves us even though we feel condemned.
and someone who we can go to whenever we want to.
someone who always got our back.
---------------------------------------------
sometimes i wonder if being a designer is what i want.
i dont know if i am graced for that.
what seemed so clear then,is starting to turn blurry now.
sometimes i feel life is complicated.
you need money.blah blah blah.
a part of me wonders what if i just serve full-time in church.
serve god.
i'm sure it feels good.because just the thought of it is making me really happy.
i might just achieve sevenfold in my life.
and i rmb charis telling me,that even though in times we feel like we are unsure of something,dont be disheartened.
because god is faithful to us,he always is.
because god is good all the time,and all the time,god is good.
