long time since v2.0

its been a long time since i last posted, lemme see... 1week+?
well just passed out last tuesday, finally, no more courses, no more knock it down, but plenty of extras to come along haha.
had the whole of last week off, from tuesday onwards till yesterday morning then i return back to camp. spend the week meeting some old friends, slacking and clubbing.
saw zhenhao for the first time in like 9months ever since he left for china to work, did alot of catching up with him, same, no change at all, still the old him and ever so full of shit and he can do a great imitation of bruce lee haha. we went down to phuture on a wed night (Damn!), the music wasn't great there, so was zouk cos it was mambo night and r&b which just isn't my cuppa tea. well, he was drunk at around 1, courtesy of a graveyard :D and we spent the rest of the night squeezing inside phuture (FUCK!).
slacked the next 2 days away with ivan and liwei, i didn't know i was such a pro slacker. spend watching movies at each other's house, talking about the lamest things, jokes haha wtf man

and the big thing of the week, THRILLSEEKERS aka Steve Helstrip at Liquid Room! i told myself i won't miss the gig no matter what, did a review for Trancerepublic, you can read it here

bon voyage

its a overspent weekend i had, in terms of money....
met up with michael and sim during the evening for dinner, we had buffet at amara hotel, did alot of catching up with each other, its been a long time since we sat down together and had a meal and talk cock with each other... about a year already? may seem short to others but to us it was a long time because we were the closest of friends back in poly days, and yea we were short of 1 fella, glenn, who didnt came due to a broken nose sustained while playing soccer. haha.
met up with tom later on, we were at chinablack, to celebrate shawn's birthday and also tom's last day in singapore.
opened a bottle of martell, not your normal size of martell, its more widely known as "Tua Pao". yea the big one, which required to waiters to carry to the table where we were sitting. well we manage to whack finish the bottle in 3 hours time, and out of the blue came another 2 bottles of martell, i didn't know who opened it but it was gone in an hours time. alot of the guys were there last night, fuwell ivan, jeremy,mel,joey,another ivan(haha), shawn, joalin, andee, xinlong, ah jiao blah blah. although the music at chinablack sucked big time, well, the drinks and the company of friends were enough to compensate for it already, ahd alot of fun actually hehe... tom was made to drink like mad, from the waterfalls to the glasses of martell he had to down, no wonder he was "high" to the max, yea "high", not drunk yet. actually i wanted to order a basketball for him but seeing the condition he was in at the time, the verge of puking i suppose, then again, nah.
went to sent him off today, gonna miss him big time, but then again he's coming back for 2 weeks during april... if ur reading this, bon voyage brother, take care. :)

happy nu-year

well is the 2nd day of chinese nu-year and the most fucked up thing is i'm gonna book in like 45 minutes time.
well, spent the eve and yesterday gambling, made an overall profit of 60+ i think, its not much, but hey! its still dough right?


1)Sarah Mclachlan - Fallen (Gabriel & Dresden Anti-Gravity mix)
2)Above & Beyond - No One on Earth (Gabriel & Dresden mix)
3)Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Sweeping Strings remix)
4)Matt Hardwick vs Smith & Pledger feat Melina Gareh - Connected (Original Mix)
5)Armin van Buuren feat Jutine Suissa - Burned with Desire (Rising Star Mix)
6)Delerium feath Sarah Mclachlan - Silence 2004 (Above & Beyond's 21st Century remix)
7)Agnelli & Nelson feat Aureus - Holding on to Nothing (Original Mix)
8)Delerium feat Rani - Underwater (Above & Beyond's 21st Cenutry remix)
9)Delerium feat Nerina Pallot - Truly (Signum remix)

just a simple mix i did today, which i recorded down...actually its for tom, whos leaving for australia this sunday, and he likes vocal stuff, so i did a random mix for him as a present

track arrangement was random, basically just picked out from the box randomly.transition on certain tracks abit screwed up(eg:track 4 to 5), possibly due to the fact that its the first time i'm working on this few tracks with no practise before hand, and i'm not familiar with the track myself. oh yea and my itchy hands that like to fiddle with the vinyl thus causing some screw up and the key mixing. pfft, excuses.
oh yea fuck theres 1 part during burn with desire. i forgotten to off the volume. you could actually hear the sound of cue scratch behind haha
ps: connected followed by burn with desire was a total disaster, i'm not good with key mixing, but hey its just a try!

singaporeans, yet again

well its been a long time since i last posted, kinda busy over the past week, with tons of boring lectures back in camp which is making me sleep like 1/2 the time. then there's alot of saikang back in camp too, mainly about returning the field stores, borrowing of stores for our parade and the painting of the logos for the parade. kinda shit uh?

the parade rehearsal for our graduation parade was kinda relax, but the only xiong part was the arms & foot drill we had to go through before that. considering the fact that the drills and parade is conducted by RSM, who happens to be a MP by vocation, u do the thinking man lol.

spend the last weekend walking around town with bennett and qizhi, eating, drinking some coffee before we parted ways.
before that was at my grandma's house. thing is, my grandma fell down when she was at the market. courtesy of some inconsiderate guy who never press the lift for her. if i happen to know who that fucker was, man he better watch his back. she cant move now, all she can do now is lie on the bed and has to move around with the help of a wheelchair. another classic example of how fucked up singaporeans are, sad to say, i'm one too, and i'm ashamed of it.

went to roxy and hmv and picked up some cool records, one of the is a white label,
George Hales - Autumn Falls (unknown remix)
its only 1 sided, so thought for quite some time before deciding to part my cash for it
found another 2 interesting ones at HMV,
Mike Koglin - The Silence 2005(2005 remix & Matt Darey "Tekara" remix)
Jan Gustafsson - Future History/True Fiction
all of them very uplifting records, my style. hehe

its chinese new year this week, suppose to be a relaxing week, but wat the fuck man, have to book in on thursday! spoil everything, but then again.... :)
