Plastic Surgery for WHAT?!

HAHA! Call me immature but I found this super amusing!
and I was just surfing through this Singaporean youtube channel called clicknetwork (which is pretty entertaining) when I stumbled on this so no, I did not search this on purpose :)

Btw, it's 6am now and I've got tuition at 10 so I'm off now.

Life Without a Maid and a Driver

So my maid just went back to Indonesia for a month for holidays now.
I've never eaten cereal and cereal bars this much before. I mean, I did manage to "ta pow" food back and order pizza once a while, but still... Sighh.... Life is tough man. And both my parents are away too. Check out my kitchen sink 4 days after she left.


DRIVERS
...and have I told you how BLOODY hard is it to find good staff these days?
I've had at least 3 drivers so far this year. The first one had an attitude problem and he was lazy. Every time my dad leaves the country he hardly shows up for work. He's also quite rude at times and he's the FIRST DRIVER EVER to talk back at my dad, who just so you know, is a super serious and scary and short tempered person especially when he's angry. Oh, and he crashed my dad's Merc too. The second one, was pretty okay at first, then again, he turned out to be lazy too. He'll show up maybe 4 out of 6 days every week so he had to go too. The third one, I only had for bout 4 days. He seemed okay, but his driving was jerky and hesitant, and he didn't really know how to drive long cars especially the 7 Series coz the gear shifting system was a little different than normal cars. So my dad, being an impatient guy, told him off one day. "eh, you better learn how to drive. My patience is running short." The next day he quit.

And my driver now who's been with us for a month now, and who I thought was one of the best my dad's ever hired, doesn't show up for work. My dad left for China on Saturday morning. The minute the driver came back from KLIA, he left although it was a half day saying that his wife is sick and all, and he's not come to work since. That ass wipe lied to me too. "Oh, tuesday I kan balik kerja." And I was waiting for him the whole day. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some spoilt rich kid who needs to be chauffeured everywhere I go, but, I can't drive and I had a shit load of things to do. No, not fun things like meeting friends, but proper appointments and tuitions and meetings and rehearsals and worship sessions. So now, I'm making sure he doesn't come back to work. Gonna complain to my dad when he gets back. Idiot. Not coming to work is one thing, lying and not giving me any notice is a whole other. And he doesn't pick my calls up. At least have the decency to tell me if he's not coming to work so I can make arrangements. ARGH. stupid.

So now, here I am at 9am typing this out coz again, he didn't come for work and I just missed my tuition with Sally. Well, kudos to you if you read this long long rant. But yeah, it is quite annoying.

Jam Session @ Bangkok Jazz

Are you a musician? Is music your passion?

If you said yes to both questions, then you need to go to Bangkok Jazz every Thursday at 10:30pm. Jam Session till you feel like going home.

I just got back from Bangkok Jazz and it amazes me how good our local musicians are. Arthur and John Thomas stole the show for me as usual. Jose Thomas, Martin, Daniel Foong and Wagner were there this time and Jose was phenomenal. I dunno how he works those fingers at such speed. And this time, they set up 2 extra drums. So I was basically there with at least 15 drummers, 3 quarters of which were part of Drummer For Christ. All professionals and a few semi-pros. I don't know why they bother calling it a jam session when people like Arthur jams. It's intimidating for other drummers. I mean, tonight's jam session was gila gila off the hook. 3 drummers playing simultaneously with other bloody good musicians. They might as well call it a weekly jazz fest/drum fest. But it's really crazy. I went 2 weeks before and I was equally entertained this time. The level of musicianship is bloody high in there.

Maybe one day eh? :)

and another one joins the family

Meet Norman

Err, I don't know the specs, but I know it has a pick up... and... err... Yeah, Benny Wong picked it out for me and he's supposed to be really good so I just trust his judgement. It does sound really good though. I mean, from a musician's point of view.

It also came with 3 picks from Jim Dunlop...

and... I got free strings from RotoSound.

Discount was good too...

Yeah, I'm really blur when it comes to guitar if you haven't noticed.

RM10,000 to keep them Muslim

THE state government will continue to pay a RM10,000 incentive to Muslim preachers or missionaries who are willing to marry Orang Asli women to prevent them from leaving the religion.

State Islamic Development, Education and Dakwah Committee chairman Datuk Nik Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah said efforts had to be made to ensure that the Orang Asli people would not be easily influenced by missionaries of other faiths.

"We were told that certain Orang Asli settlements in the rural areas had been visited by non-Islamic missionaries and they had been spreading their faith to these people," Nik Mohd told the state assembly yesterday.

Replying to a question by Datuk Mohd Alwi Che Ahmad (BN-Kok Lanas), he said the action included conducting awareness programmes and also organising training for Orang Asli to become religious teachers.

The Kelantan government introduced the incentive payment three years ago as part of its efforts to convert Orang Asli to Islam.

Arthur Kam Playing Caught Up

I feel like crying every time I see him play.

I finally see a point in blogs

You know, when people say blogs are a waste of time. That's crap. I mean, unless you're using your blog for stupid reasons.

I was looking back at some of my posts. And it brought back lots of memories. Events, sermons, testimonies. Yeah, all that. And I went back all the way to my first post and stumbled across this,

"If God is the word, and the word is God, how can you say you love God, when you don't even read the word ?" - Ps Samuel Phun


Wow. What a reminder for me. I really need this at this point of my life. Thank you God.
