School.

School
School's started once again and im all set to go full-drive towards O lvl grade excellence! Teachers have been giving the usual pep talks and briefing us on the coming GCP remedials. Kinda looking forward to GCP ; im in desperate need of some revision.
CCA has finally reached a permenant stand-down too and today was the last training the seniors will have to conduct.. Hell yeah! Freedom at last!!
Think this term's gonna be really hectic and challenging, but im all for it.. anything to reach my goal!

Other stuff:
Forming a band with james but we're only gonna go hardcore after O's.. Things seem to be going well but we'll probably need a more reliable drummer than Daryl.
Band genre's probably gonna be towards the post-hardcore-emo/punk side but we haven't really decided yet. Been composing some songs lately that have that kinda feel and i might post the lyrics up sometime soon.
Song titles that have mysteriously formed in my mind include: "Political Paranoia" and "Depression is an understatement"...

Youth day's next monday... guess this means more time for jamming XD. and..*ahem*.. mugging.

Confirmation camp 2006.

Con camp this year has indeed renewed my faith. I realised during this camp that what ive supposedly been doing for god for a long period of time has been a dillusion. For awhile ive been having doubts about my faith, questioning the existence of god and why we're even here. After Bro Jude's talk however, i feel otherwise.

Day one.
First half of day one were ice breakers. You could say my group owned ahaha.. thanks to gabriel's ideas and some *ahem* cheat*ahem*ing at the marshmellow part. Overall the ice breaker games were enjoyable.. especially the water bomb part! While everyone else was busy running for cover and finding ammunition me and leslie sneaked up behind enemy lines and stole a couple of bombs =D. Not to be outbeaten Gabriel stunned a whole pail of bombs.. wtf lol.

And then there was the flour game... Shift across flour-water soaked chairs and challenge the opposing player to scissors paper stone! The loser goes back to the start while the winner continues shifting!... Either way you get dirty lol. Well.. it was kinda fun.. and of course our group won XD. After flour game no.1 we had the "one smart man he felt smart flour game". Same rules apply ; you still get dirty and challenge the opposition to see who reaches the end.. only this time at every chair you have to go " One smart man he felt smart ".. " two smart men they felt smart " and so on... Oh and we won that too.

LOOKS LIKE PRACTICE IN CLASS PAYED OFF.

After games we had dinner.. really good curry.. veggie was abit hard though.

Seems the praise and worship turned out well and i got some really great feedback from friends. I still think i screwed up "now that you're near" and some other parts.. but i guess what matters is that the con4's enjoyed it still.. so.. yeah its nice that they appreciated it. Everyone in the band was playing well; Shaun's vocals were there, Gabriel's bass accompanying perfectly and Ori's drumming in sync. Hope we'll get to do this again in future.

The rest of the night involved reflection and a talk by brother jude, of how we are just fertiliser made into life through the breath of god. Bro.Jude also reassured us of our faith by telling us that we are God's children and reminded us of his ultimate sacrifice through the cross. Brother also went on to explain theology in a nutshell ..really interesting and enriching session and it helped to clear alot of doubts.

Then came free time ahah.. total chaos in class tau pok-ing everyone! ( For those who dont know tau pok is when every1 piles ontop of a victim and squashes him. oh yes it hurts. ) Everyone had a good time be it playing taiti, being tau-poked or just joking around.. it was a fun night.
Later on went out to join chan,nick and the twins to do some late night biking/chilling out downstairs. We ended up sleeping at 5.

Day two
Day two was more serious and we went into deep reflection, affirming our love for god through sessions and on occasion praise and worship. Second half of the day was less eventful and we spent it mostly on writing fuzzies for each other. The camp ended with mass with our parents and the look of renewed faith on everyone's faces.

Other
-Con4 t-shirts turned out nice. Almost everyone wore it during camp!

Although i feel it wasnt as deep as last year's camp, this camp has definitely rekindled my faith in god and i feel inspired to do god's work once again. This time however ill do it with him in mind, not letting other thoughts cloud my vision or objectives. No more dillusions.

Metal Slug Madness.

nI apologise for taking such a long time..life has been hectic these few days and thus the late update.. however here i am once again to provide you viewers with more potentially mind eroding information! :)

So i've been searching for something to unwind on and well, i found that something. Not exactly the most conventional form of de-stressing, however it's proved very useful..
What is this new obsession? None other then...

METAL SLUG.

Hell yeah. Mindless killing, sadistic plots and less then perfect 2d graphics... whats not to like about it? Zero thinking required with no worries and total freedom! Metal Slug is the perfect game to release your rage! Here are some pics.

Knifing the shit out of Errol.

My way on the fucking highway.

Burn Errol BURN.

For more info on Metal Slug and how you can play it.. pm me on msn, the tagboard or whatever.. =].

Gonna be a busy day tmr.. staying over in church and all and immediately after that ive got confirmation camp so.. wont be online for 3 days... Til then take care all...

Finally a break.

Overslept this morning and conveniently missed art... giving me my first official holiday-holiday! =D. Spent the day stoning, doing some sketches,mindlessly strumming the guitar and... more stoning. Sure i know it was probably one of the most wasted days in my life but hey..... Sometimes mistakes produce interesting results... as seen in the birth of Dan Brown.

Before i go i leave you guys with this...Satish's new look.. Brought to life by yours trully yesterday at "Art Friend" with the class..

ROFLMAO.

To the person that insists alexisonfire is not punk, fine i was wrong. They are rather a combination of punk and screamo. Look this up on Limewire or what have you and you'll see. Or, you could study the following..

Also, why call me a poser? Am i acting like someone i'm not? You afterall are the one claiming yourself to be an emo-kid. Prove it.. why are you emo?

A7X Layout.

As you guys can see...new layout! Well the previous one was a sad excuse for a more custom based skin so i scrapped the whole modify a blogskin.com skin idea and started from scratch... Got the pics from avenged sevenfold's webby and figured out the colour scheme myself ( not that anyone can't but.. ) *ahem*. So... Here's the end result.. an A7X themed header and metal-punk inspired layout. =)

Ok moving on to some other stuff. Been spending the past week rehearsing Praise and worship for the coming con camp. Here are the finalised band positions ( Not after initial confusion ); Guitar1:Me. Guitar 2: Gabriel Liew.Drums:Oriana. Praise Leaders/Singers: Shaun, Chan.
What a talented bunch of cronies! ^_^. Anyhows, i think PnW's gonna be really great. We'll be covering songs like Hillsong's "One Way" and "Now that you're near".

Got Art tmr from 9-5. No im not exaggerating. O lvls are around the corner and we've got to complete our coursework of 16 prepatory sketches, each almost twice the size of an A3 board.
Also got PnW practice tmr nite.. looking forward to that.

Hope you guys like the new skin, Nite.
