As the wind blew along 2008

As the wind blew along 2008
Many has happen to our lives
Oil price go up
Go higher up
Then drop...till today.


As the wind blew along 2008
Politicians has fought for the people
Politicians has fought for themselves
Many politicians were suspended
Many politicians were killed
Little changed...till today.


As the wind blew along 2008
Quantum of So-Lame finally fell
They forced me to sell spoilt goods at high cost
They forced me to betray my ethical will
Consumers were abused...till today.
*Quantum Showcase*


As the wind blew along 2008
SXIMB remained unstable and weak
The band still lacks a steady vision
The band still has nothing to fight for
Wolves turned to puppies...till today


but


As the wind blew along 2008
I understand her much better
Her strengths which inspired me
Her weaknesses which annoyed me
But I see the best and worst of me in her
And had been showering her with my care and love


As the wind blew along 2008
I learned many things
From tech to spec
Now I know how to reformat
I continue to seek enlightenment
In my current and future relationship
Time has heal my wounds
And I thank God
For He has given me space on Earth
Other places would have longer days a year
I found peace in myself





So sorry that I have nothing much to add
And sorry again coz I dun have much pictures to put up
But I recently took this picture
This is my fav spot to park my bike in KDU

:::::::::Happy New Year 2009::::::::

Alex's Appearance at SXIMB Annual Dinner 2008

*thanks to blogger imwenzi for making his and my blog even nicer*

Sorry for late reply

Its pretty obvious that I havent been updating my blog
Tho it has been like....erm
2 days?? XD
Well here is what went wrong
.
.
.
Once upon a time
2 days ago (26th) actually XP
I realized that I was invited for a street soccer match
It was a culture to play on cement in my school
Which could in fact
Be pretty addicting
.
.
.
I couldnt stand the temptation

Once the voice calls in
There I went
Such game is pretty impossible to resist
Its a natural drug =D


I did pretty well actually
Was pretty surprised how well I did
After like 3 year

But Alex got injured
And a real bad one
He did a jump
The lost balance due to the slippery floor
Alex land on his chest


And here I am
Finally managed to write a post
It was tough to withstand the internal pain
My thigh and spine muscles hurt real bad too
Alex is merely an old man now
Now he noticed that he lost pretty much of his
Fountain of Youth


But he'll be back in no time. =D

Farewell Ung Jiunn Terng

Hope to see him soon

Through The Fire and Flames

--Through The Fire and Flames--
by Dragonforce

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light,
In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight.
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right.
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight.

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore,
The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shore.
On the blackest plains in Hell's domain, we watch them as they go,
Through fire and pain, and once again we know...

So now we'll fly ever free, we're free before the thunderstorm,
On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on.
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight,
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls...

So far away we wait for the day,
For the lives all so wasted and gone;
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days-
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

[Small interlude]

As the red day is dawning, and the lightning cracks the sky,
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above with resentment in their eyes.
Running back through the midmorning light, there's a burning in my heart;
We're banished from a time in a fallen land, to a life beyond the stars.

In your darkest dreams see to believe, our destiny is time,
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight...!

And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality;
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone.
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind,
Day after day this misery must go on!

So far away we wait for the day,
For the lives all so wasted and gone,
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

[Big interlude]

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands,
We fought so hard now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man!

So far away we wait for the day,
For the lives all so wasted and gone,
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days,
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!

A letter for a friend

This post is specially dedicated to a friend of mine who is cursed in the name of 'love'

Dear friend,

I knew how suffered you felt, I felt you. Perhaps the road you traveled differ with mine. But you know as much as I do that we are partly the same. We were cursed before, in the name of 'love'. But I crawled myself back up and stand to where I am today. But I am sad to see you, cursing yourself. Your soul know no rest. Regardless your attempt to escape, it came back. I felt the same too.

But remember my good friend,

Poisoning your earthen vessel makes no change. In fact when it comes to a point where the soul left the body, there is nothing that will change that. I knew that even if my cold body were left behind her backyard, I will soon rot and filled with sadness and regret because she will not be there to raise me up. So my good friend, let it go. You deserve much better life than this.

I know I do.

People today forgotten many things in life. The blinding tools, money and status were not supposed to our life's measuring stick. Those tools does not judge how happy we are with our life.
But selfishness has lead people today to run to the shadow of darkness. I was but now no more. My family and I were marginalized by her parents. My family left no pride. I was lost. I was caught by this curse. I could not cry for years but that doesn't mean I found enlightenment in me. It took me almost 4 years to finally burst in tear upon the foot of my mother. I was finally freed.

That was why, I stand as I am today is filled with high motivation to keep myself up.

No words should keep me down no more.

Its real tough to just put up the picture.

But I want you to know that I can fight against the odds today

because I believe in myself.

My good friend,

It was not easy for me. I cant say I forget her. 1st love is indeed special. But I cant put myself in such position no more. But trust me, time heals. Do not assume that distance could change anything. Do not treat it as an escape, but treat it as something to keep your mind back on track. Indeed when you see the light, you feel lighter.




ALEX CHUA @ Enlightenment2day.blogspot.com


P/S:I am grateful that I have friends, family and my girlfriend to back me up. My girlfriend, she may not be the best girl in the world. She may not be smarter, prettier, or maybe even better expressive compared to her, but she loves me for who I am. And my family is acknowledged and trusted for how they raised me. That is what most important to me.

Wet Bbq Night

Date of event: 23th Dec 08

Hello
Me and my friends were supposed
To have a Bbq tonight
at Crown Prince Beach
and so we did.

Early in the morning
I woke up real early to fetch my gf
She woke up real early too
But I guess she still missed the pillow.

Then we went to Sunshine Farlim
Went over to buy some butter and honey
Were pretty annoyed with the sales lady

"Ai beh qiu boh~??" (Want some liquor??)
Of coz I werent tempted.

JT is going back to his
Tanah Suci Kelantan
Anytime this week


So I, Ai Theng and JT
decided to celebrate
Christmas 08 + Alex 09 bday + Derek 09bday
Today

Time to pick our cakes
At Jenny Cakehouse
We were sort of ditched at the side
by the old lady shop owner
Due to our lack of cake-knowledge
You old brat, u watch out!
But end up getting ourselve
a
Tiramisu

If you wonder wth
is the picture above have to do
with our topic

Well the thing is
when I was driving
I jumped off the main road
And were driving on
the walkway
There were countless bumps and holes
And just after we went on the main road
My butter (real expensive)
fell off
The car behind rammed over
I heard sound of box flying and hit elsewhere
My heart were crushed

Ai Theng jump off the bike and
perform an emergency evacuation

Mr Butter hurt with sum bruises
But Ms Theng managed to save him

We reach Derek's house

The sky is dark on one side
and bright on the other
We have 50/50 chance to count on
JT: "Aiya, my weather forecaster said today sui sui no rain!"
Derek: "Who's this weather forecaster?"
JT: "My dad"
Everyone: "..." ( -.-")

No time to waste
Every were rushing to the spot
Crown Prince Beach
Our main highlight on the night





Ai Theng: "Aiyo sky still very dark and cloudy! Will rain boh??"

JT: "Weather forecaster say cannot"







Derek stood and amazed at Pearl Island's beautiful beach
and a chinese lesbian couple
smooching at the beach

Les1: Come catch me (Mandarin)
*Both shouting*
Les2: Caught u!
Les1: Ahhh! *giggling*
*both kiss kiss like bunnies*

Derek said this is pretty normal at his place
Australia


His place may be ok
But over here
Its HARAM!


later

JT and Derek did some
James Bond movie poster posing


Derek were really excited...
...with the content of the bucket perhaps?

The hotel nearby looked really flashy and romantic
We were grateful with it shedding us with sum light



Sum picture took at pitch dark
*Sorry that it's real blurry*
Derek did a counter shot with his camera

Derek attempted to...??



JT: Fire fire....pls pls fire fire....pls pls pls....
We so wish Wei Tat were here
He summon fire real quick
JT: I made fire!!! Fire fire!!!

Derek tumpang gembira (share the joy)
Derek: Cmon we got torch light now, who needs fire?

The coal were depleting
And time will tell till it finished
So me and Ai Theng went to get some coal
But all are under our plan
*Hehehe*
Time to get cakes!!
We actually planned to use other excuses
So Derek wont know
To get to the town

But cun cun coal were depleting
But we never expect the shop to close so soon
But luckily the owner lives in the shop
So me and Ai Theng gave a big smack on the door
And call the owner out
Like chasing debts =D



Here it is
Tiramisu!

The wind began to blow stronger
The tide began to rise
We had hard time controlling fire


But thats not stopping us from celebrating!



WOoooooOOOooooaaaAAAHH......
I blew the left candle and Derek blew the other
We aint a couple
Keep that in mind


Wei Tat came soon after me and my gf did

but

Rain came! We were soaked!

JT: My weather forecaster!!!!!

All decide to run to Derek's house to hide
So we threw the fire away and began packing
Even under the rain
The illegal road samseng insist on collecting money
For parking at their area
Cmon, its midnight!
And its raining!
But JT paid him.
Oh well
things could get worst if he hadn't.


Alex got real wet and borrow sum clothes from Derek

Derek: Ooohhh you look so like ME!!!

hahaha!!


But we decided to move on
Without the fire
Wei Tat on the phone:
Huhuhu, dear.....
I am soak and I am wet
I am cold and I need your heat....


JT laughed hysterically
As Derek and himself
Teasing at Wei Tat
Pity Wei Tat =)

JT made alot of mee for us
and got us some berries he bought from
Cameron Highlands


JT: WEI TAT! Why you abused my BERRY!!
We ate our tiramisu
It was sort of squashed on the side when we got to Derek's house
But taste remained unchanged
Tho it rained
But all went fine
It was nice to soak under the rain anyway
Hahah!

The days were pretty cloudy and dark
There was no sign of rain
Though we do hope that it does not.

Tuning session was carried out as usual

No time were wasted on tuning
Which was pretty good

The widely known pose by AK Khor
Petrifying the members with a single hand raised
The crowd watched carefully with
An overwhelming feeling of inspiration

They were filled with teen juice
And were hopping around like mating rabbits
