Performance NIght

Some of you might have heard, I was invited to perform in at a charity dinner last saturday. The event was held at SJK(C) Sungai Way primary school on the 23rd of July.

Me and my good friend Suilun was invited to join along this guild to perform on stage. Which is a pretty cool and new experience for me. The songs that we are going to play are different from what I've been playing all these while. The songs that I've been playing are more like mainstream kind of song but they decided to the old and classics. A good time to learn some new gender songs.

The band consist of 7 members. Shaun as the leader and vocalist, Jerry as the saxophonist, Ping Fuan as bassist, Neehui as drummer, Karu as lead guitarist, Suilun as pianist and me as the guitarist. And the band name is called Shaun Chow & Friends. XP

Just so you guys dunno, Tomodachi means friends in japanese. XD

Thanks to this performance, I've finally grew BIG interest in Micheal Buble's songs. His songs are epicly awesome and his live performance certainly blows me away. XD

The performance went well, nothing went wrong. We played everything nicely and perfectly. Did the crowds enjoyed it? To me, i believe so cause its their their type of song. I would say we nailed it that night. XP

Here are some pictures taken by Yanleng during that night. X)

Yeap, that night I suited up! XD

Guess who did we bumped into during the event? XP

Me and Karu jamming our guitars on stage.

Another full band picture.

Me and the band members trolling around. XP

A picture of me and Shaun Chow.

Heres what Shaun Chow commented about me after the whole performance on facebook.

"Yu Ming - The man of steel guitar strings hahaha. Despite you telling me that you could only strum, you had no problems fitting into the genre that i laid out for you."

Theres a story behind the man of steel guitar strings. But that story lies between me and the band members. XP

Before I end this post I wanna thank these people that help me thru out the whole journey of performing with them.

Shaun Chow, giving this opportunity to perform along side with a band.
Suilun, for voicing out my name to Shaun and guiding me thru out the practices.
Jerry, Ping, Karu and Neehui, for trolling and jamming along side with me.
Max, for borrowing me his blazer suit for the event.
Eng Hoe, for borrowing me his awesome plug-in accoustic.
Lenping and Tarvin, for borrowing me their amps.
Yanleng, for taking the awesome pictures for us.
Mike, Weigin, Shu Mei and Shu Xian, for commenting about our performance.
Shaun's mom, Crystal Chow and Siew Mai (the dog), for accompanying us and taking care of us during the practices. XD

I guess I didnt left anyone out right? I even mention the dog in the credits. XD

This is definately one hell of a new experience for me. Looks like i manage to take my guitar experience to the next level again. Thanks to everyone above agian. XP

CHEERS!!! XD

2 more days to go

2 more days till my degree course starts. so that means my holidays is about to end! DX

One month ago, I cant wait for my college to start but now i just wish that i could have a long holidays. Yeah, 3 months is just not enough for a guy like me. XD (come on who doesnt want forever freedom)

I have a few things that im afraid of going into my new college. One is definately the transportation issue. I dont have a car, there is no bus that drives me all the way to the college or even walk distance to the college, and my brother is being a real bitch about driving me to college in the morning. So i really dunno how am i going college later on in the future.

Two, how am I going to meet people there. Unlike HELP, INTI is a pretty big place. In HELP, everything happens in one long corridoor. So its easy to spot and make friends there. But INTI is a pretty big place as I recall. Plus, the course that Im going to study is probably gonna be deserted. Cause no one is really interested in the course that im taking. What worst is this course is new to the college. So, people might not have even heard of it. Especially girls. DX

I maybe a talkative guy, but heres another fact about me. I cant be talkative unless I have made a friends there. The samething happened in HELP. Plus, I can only be talkative around the people that im comfortable with. Which also takes up sometime. Meeting new friends in my new college is gonna be a little bit hard.

Three, the surrounding neighborhood. Subang Jaya is a freaking big place. and I am freaking not familiar with the place itself. Who know if i simply walk around here and there I might get lost in the neighborhood. HELP was different because HELP itself is the neighbor hood. Plus, HELP is at pusat bandar damasara which is something like in the middle of no where. All you have to do is get a tour guide for one day and walah you will be familiar with the place already. As for Subang its really going to take me awhile to get familiar to the place.

Four, is the people whom im going to mix with. I have faced lots of unwanted dramas in my previous college. Is not really because they bitch about me or they pick a fight on me, is because they make use of me. People who say they are friends but turns out they are just the kind of people who uses ur ability and then dont talk to you ever again. I faced alot of it in my previous college. So i really hope that this new college will have lesser. If there are the same kind of people, then i rather live my life alone with my true and old friends.

Although there are many things that im worried of when i enter the college but those things can be easily solved. My friends are there. I have people who I can count on there. Some of them ever told me before hand, if I have any problems go find them. Those are what i call true friends.

So if you ask me, am I ready for my new college? I will say.. Fark yeah. Bring it on.

CHEERS!!! XD

I miss Dragon Nest

I have been playing and trying out lots of game during the holidays. Well because im going to study the course about games and also because im a gamer. XP

The best online game i've played so far is Dragon Nest. The close beta came out last week. I tried the game and I think its freaking amazing. My friends grew bored of this game but i didnt. Maybe cause I think im the kind of gamer who loves to grind my characters. XP

The game's gameplay system is unique and nice. The graphic is freaking amazing and the storyline is pretty good as well. I would say this is a good online game to play.

The flaw about this game is that its gender lock. Means you cannot chose different sex for some particular jobs. There are 4 jobs in the game and each jobs have 2 job enhance. Warrior and Cleric are males whereas Archer and Mage are females. Its by far the best Action RPG game I've ever played in my life. Whats really unique is that the game is semi-online gameplay.

When your in the city you are in online mode where everthing starts to lag if your have bad computur or internet. But when you exit the city and into the dungeon, you are in semi-online mode. Where you are connect to your friends only. Its kinda hard to explain. You have to experience it yourself.

Part of the reason why i really love this game is that my ferrari laptop can support this game. Smoothy!! Yeah, the noob laptop that couldnt support HON can actually support Dragon Nest better than my desktop computer. Im very surprised. XD

The close beta was on for 1 week which is kinda sad. But the one whole week was a whole lot of fun. I reached max lvl in just one week. (for close beta that was lvl 24) and i got my armors and weapons upgraded to the safest limit. Pretty good eh?

Here are some screen shots that i capture before the close beta close down my character.

I was a warrior who is enhance into a Mercenary.

This is how I really look close up.

My best equipments. XP

Check out the graphics for this game. Impressive eh? XP

I cant wait for the open beta to start which is about mid august. Its the time where my college has started and where all the shyt assignments are coming in. I might not go full potential in this game anymore then. DX

But still do feel free to go register and play the game. Heres the website link for those of you who are really interested in the game.

Dragon Nest offical website.

This is the first online game that i actually miss playing. No kidding. XD

CHEERS!! XD

Missing the Right and Wrong way

People tend to simply use the word 'I miss you'. Simply use is NOT as in using it frequently. Using frequently just means your nice. What i meant by simply using it, is like simply using it on the WRONG person. Like literally the wrong person.

Telling 'I miss you' to someone that doesnt give a damm, doesnt even care, deosnt even think about you and whats worst is they dont even reply or talk to you is just a big fat lost for you. Yeah, lost with the capital 'L'.

Your wasting your time, your sms money and of course seeing them not treating you like crap is just gonna make u sad. Like really really sad. Heartbroken. *pling plang* I know.. cause i've been there.. and i've done that. XP

Its hard to live a life where no one misses you. Hearing someone saying 'I miss you' is definitely a nice thing. But sometimes when it doesnt come from the right person that you want, its just not enough. right? You know what i mean. You always want to hear that 'I miss you' word for that particular person only. I've been there done that too. XD

But if you force yourself to miss some son of a bitch or literally a bitch itself then its really really not worth it. They dont miss you the way that you do. They dont treat you the way that you do too. If telling them that you miss them wont make a difference i really suggest you to do something about it. Maybe move on and forget about it.

Its hard really I know, but really you gotta face it. That person is just not into. Maybe in the future he/she will start appreciate you more. But that happens in movies and drama series, in reality, rarely. Like EXTREMELY rare kind of thing.

Like what Barney Stinson said..

"When Im sad, I just stop being sad and be awesome. True Story."

You dont know whose Barney Stinson? That you my friend really have a sad life. Im just kidding. Go watch 'How I Met Your Mother' its a very funny sitcom. Watch it and you will feel happy and of course awesome. XD

The reason that Im making this rant right here is because i have a couple of friends who fall as a victim. I just here to help those people do some shout out their sorrows and sadness.

To me, 'I miss you' is a very strong word. (thats my opinion) Since no one is here to say 'I love you' or 'I like you', IMY is the best i can get. And im really apperciate those people who said IMY to me. Even know half of them dont really mean it. XD Just kididng.

Hope you guys out who have fallen as a victim as well, stay strong. Good luck. X)

CHEERS!!! XD

Things Im Up to

Another update about me, myself and I. XP

Its comfirm that i will be study at INTI subang on the 27th of July. That is like 9 more days to go (date worte: 18/7/2011) then i'll be living in a stress hell like my degree friends. DX

I think its a 2 + 1 degree program. Two years here in INTI subang and one year in Universtiy of Wallonggong. (UOW) Plus, the course that im doing is not called Computer Games Development in INTI its called Multimedia and Games development. Sounds cooler to me. XD

I've been practicing for my performance that is coming up on the 23rd of July. Its in a school somewhere at subang jaya and from what I heard its is a huge crowd attending for the event. Most of them are adults and oldies so we decided to play songs more towards oldies. This is probably one of my biggest gigs. So, wish me luck~ XP

Owh did you guys know? After leaving my hair long for about 4~6 months I've decided to cut it!! Yeah, pretty unbelievable lie right? The truth is to got forced to cut by my dad. He played the "Wheres my son!?" joke on me again. XD

Its a little bit awkward without long hair. Getting back short hair makes my hair cooler. (as in temperature kind of cool.) My head is so cool right now that its giving me headaches. really really not use to it. XD

Me and my high school friends are having a sports game that is invented by ourselves this wednesday (20/7/11) Yeah, its the Ninjas and Wardens game. Capturing the Flag + Ice & Fire game. Feel free to join us if you want. Heres the link of our facebook event page for more information.

The Ninjas & Wardens facebook event page.

If you wanna come please click attend. So that we can know that your coming. If you have transportation issue, leave a message on the event page and we'll help u settle it. ASAP!!

I guess thats enough updates for you guys i guess..

So to all the girls out there, I have random blogspot question for you ladies.

"How do you girls feel after getting a hair cut from extreme long to short?"

Leave you answers on the cbox or the comment section of this blog post.

Enjoy~ CHEERS!!! XD
