How I Met My Friends

Did you guys read my most recent status post? (29/9/10) If you guys dont know.. let me just tell you guys what did i wrote. XP

'The first 10 person who LIKE this gets to know how I met him/her. XP'

There are people who liked the status. And as a promise im going to tell those people how I met them. Of course, telling them in facebook is going to be a pain in the ass since I have to go to one by one and tell each and everyone of them.. Plus, telling them one by one through the facebook status is going to kill the others since notifications will start flying and everyone's emails will start getting spam. XP

Therefore, to make life easier.. im going to tell them through my blog. XD

Im going by sequence from the first person who liked my status till the last.

1. Jarrel

- I still remember how I really met his dude. I remember its was a camp in eagle retch resort. (approximately about 3 years ago i guess..) His was one of my group member to team-ed up and did all the awesome things in the camp! XD I still remember that he was the dude who jump into the water and swim all the way to get the flag during out water rafting activity. XP

2. Kai Shin

- God, this is one friend who I have met long long time ago.. XD But still, since shes 'special' I definately still remember how i met her. XP I remember it was about standart 5 or 6 where I been to a tuition place called 'Edu Smart'. Theres where I first met her. Still remember that it was an english tuition class. XP At first, shes was just an ordinary smart girl who I met in class, then suddenly we both became close and then started talking to each other more and more often. Part of the reason that both of us became close is because she know who I 'like' during that time. After 7 years, both of us are still friends even until today. Thats why i said that shes 'special' X)

3. Victor Soon

- If im not wrong.. I know this dude through a camp.. How i really met and know this dude, is through choir. XP We both have met each other through Youth Camp but we started knowing each other better in CFCamp. But how I started become close to this dude is definately during choir practise. XP Why? Cause he keep demanding songs from me.. XP

4. Hevind

- Ahhhhh.. one of the first dark dudes that i met in college. XP To be honest, I know Hevind is really simple. Its through another friend named Dex. Really.. No Kidding.. but how both of us get to really know each other, is through DOTA-ing in campus. XP Besides that, we are like dudes who jumped around campus and kacau-ing people during the first few weeks of the semester. XP I also still remember that this dude was one of the people in the finite maths class which i intercept in. XD

5. Stefira

- I met this girl like really really really recently. Like less than 1 month that we known each other. XD I met her is through a friend name Faris. (that was first sight) But how I really met her.. is sorta by accident.. I accidentally pat her head cause i thought that she was Amy Wong. (both of them looked pretty alike from behide) How i really know her, is one day after business class, Me, Max, Daniel, Faris and Her went to Ali Maju and ate there. And thats when I really get to introduce myself and know her name. XP

6. Wendy

- How I really met Wendy, its PURE simple and clean. XP For first sight, I known her through one day at sunday school before choir practise. She heard me playing a YUI song called 'Again' and at the same time, she liked that song. XP How I really get to know her is through camps, choirs and a couple of sleep overs at Justin's place. XP

7. Reuben Liu

-Ahhhh.. Reuben. One of the dudes that i know who can really play Ping-Pong ball in college. XP How I met this dude, is definately through one of the days in DSA where he was playing ping-pong with some of his friend. (His friends became my friend as well after that. XP) How i really get to know this dude, this through practising for Pyjamas Party Orientation Night. XD Those we're the days where 'No Credit' are hardcore.. XD

8. Haley Choo

- It may seem like i met this girl recently.. but to be honest, I've known this girl long time ago. If im not wrong, when Im form 2. XP She was a randomly girl who i added in friendster and she was also one of my friend in my old msn email. Talked to her through msn before and after my email went hey-wired.. I never talk to her ever again. After few years.. she appears in my college as a April intake student. XP Sadly, she doesnt remember how we both met. DX

9. Candice Lim

- How i met Candice is really really random. When I was form 2, I was in 2 Lili and I took chinese subject. (surpirse? XP) Everytime when we have chinese class, we will swap those who are taking chinese into one class and those who are not in another one. My class has to swap with 2 Kemboja. And what class this girl in during form 2? XD If im not wrong, she also took chinese that year and thats how we both of became friends. XP

10. Xiau Wei

-Another girl who I met in college. I know the existance of XiauWei long time ago in college.. but how i really know her, is through Justin. Justin knows her because of WeiGin. At first, I thought she was the twin sister of WaiSin but turns out, they are not. (Thank God..XD) How I really really get close to Xiau Wei, is thanks to Pyjamas Party as well. XP As an add-on, I was sorta her advisor in some certain stuffs. (its only between me and her.)

There you go, that is really how I (personally) met all of you guys. And really, none of these are made up. If you really think and flash back for awhile.. I believe you guys will think that im not lying.. XP

Wow.. I guess I have some sort of SUPER Memory after all. XD I dont name my blogspot 'Memoriez Beyond' for no reason. XP

Project 'When 10 Songs Meet'

Have you guys heard of 'When 10 Songs Meet'? Its a very interesting song..

'When 10 Songs Meet' is a mash up of 10 songs all together. It all begin with a small mash up song guidance called 'How Six Songs Collide'. After that, that person who wrote the song made some slight changes and turns it into a 10 songs mash up.

Who wrote that song? Me!! XD

Okay, not really only me la. I have help from my friends. One of them is Justin. XP

Yeah, really 'When 10 Songs Meet' is a mash up which is made by me. To be honest, its really simple. Its not as hard as u think it is.. All i did was flip through my song chord book and see what song have the same chords and just throw it in. Even if they dont have the same chords but they sound nice, I will transpose them into the chord that i want.. XP

I think the hardest part of making this song is to memorize all the lyrics of each song. Thats the annoying part. But once u get the hang out it, it shouldnt be a problem with the song.

Have you guys heard it before? If you never, go to my youtube channel and find it.

Go to youtube, type 'MIngzNYui' and click search. Thats my youtube account name. Then go look for the song 'when 10 songs meets' and walah. XP

I find that 'When 10 Songs Meet' is the song which I am most proud of. Sure, its not really 100% original from me.. but still, receiving great comments form both facebook and youtube users, really made me feel proud that i made this song.

KaiShin: Among all your songs, I like 'When 10 Songs Meet' the most. X)

Thank you, KaiShin. XP

Alright, why am i suddenly bringing up this song again?

Since I have been working on IT subjects and also movie makers these days.. I decided to remake this mash up of mine. But this time, im going to do a little bit of changes.

Im going to look for 9 singers/vocalist to sing this song with me. Well, obvious Nicole is going to be one of them as well.. therefore, im going to look for another 8 more. XP Once i got 8 people, im going to split each one of them into their own parts of the song.. Therefore, i'll be needing 10 video cameras to do so.

Next, when i collected all the video records of the singers singing their own part, i will find other musicians to help me to put in more instrumental musics inside. Therefore, instead of having only a guitar playing for the entire song, I will have piano (Suilun), Violin (Nathanael), Beatboxer (???) and many more..

Lastly, i will fuse all the sounds and musics all together and turn it into a video and mp3 file. Then its going to youtube or facebook or either both ways. XP

Im trying make this thing BIG!! Sure its requires lots of planning and everything.. but seriously.. I have most of it planned in my head.. How am i gonna fuse all the musics? how am i suppose to get 10 video cameras? how am i going to get everyone's tempo the same? how to split this and that? everything is all in my head. XP

I call this..

Project 'When 10 Songs Meet'

Interested in helping? Well come and find me or gimme a call or something.. I'll see how things will go. XP Yes, im very picky with my singers and musicians and the people that im working with. XP

Lets hope that this wont be like the previous ambitious things which i planned to do but turns out didnt do..

That is why im making this post to remind myself. XP

CHEERS~~

Motivations

Today I had business class again..

Business class are getting more and more interesting. Maybe cause the class is starting to get along and discussion session are getting more and more louder.

Well, louder in terms of people start to open their mouth more often.

Well, open their mouth more often is not terms of yawning, its in terms of talking more.

Well, talking more is not in terms of making noise, its in terms of having more discussion.

Walah~ Made one big round just to explain the whole damm thing. XD

I bet Mr.Gobi is starting to enjoy the class too. And of course, his counting on Daniel which is the star student in the class to help him get the discussion going. XP I am Daniel's manage/adviser. What do i do? Stop him from talking to much. XD

Anyways, we had an interesting topic today which is something to do with Entrepreneurs. I dunno whether other people think that its interesting but I find it interesting. XP

Me and Daniel then discuss what kind of Entrepreneurs we are. There are four kinds of entrepreneurs. Lifestyle, micropreneurs, growth and intrapreneurs.

Daniel thinks that his more like a growth entrepreneurs. And i think Im more like a intrapreneurs. Even Mr.Gobi said so. XP

Intrpreneurs uses their creativity to help to change the world. Why do i think im that kind of person? Well, simple, cause I want to change the world but not with business but with musics. XP Yeah, its a pretty lame thing to say since its coming from me.

Mr.Gobi sorta knew that i was interested in making music covers since i like to voice out my suggestions during business which is fairly related to musics. Plus, i usually bring my guitar to campus on friday which is also the day for business class well..

I remember asking Daniel something stupid.. XP

Me: Wow.. He knows that im interested in such thing!?

Daniel: Yeah, i think sooo..

Me: But how does he know!? D8

*Daniel gave me a short 2~3 second stare..*

Daniel: Errrr.. cause you always bring your guitar into class?? XD

Yeah, Daniel was smarter than me.. BUT only in business class. XP

Then, Mr.Gobi start giving me (not only me la, but tot he whole class) ways and hints on how to make business successful with musics. He showed us an example which is Jay-Z. Apparently his a growth entrepreneurs which is totally not my type.

Thanks to Mr.Gobi's class, hints and motivations.. I am now more inspired to do more and more covers. Not to say that i wasnt inspired last time, but just that im more inspired now. XP

Who knows? Mayb and just MAYB i might be one of them who earns money with music.

IT subjects can also help me out with that kind of business as i can know how to edit codes or design my music videos nicer or something? Or mayb i can develop some sort of application or software that can help me create or reformat my videos easily? Who knows? XP

Well, I do get motivated very easy.. I actually have TONS of dreams that I want to achieve. (There is sooo many that you cant even count it with your 10 fingers. XD) but sometimes.. i dont plan to do it as well.. pretty weird huh? XP

But there is one thing that i really wish to do/learn right now..

Who wanna learn Weng Chun with me? XD

Gives You Hell + I'll Remember You cover ft.Nicole

Hey guys, you guys remember Nicole? Yeah, we another 2 more covers together last week XP

This time we made 'Gives You Hell' by AAR and also 'I'll Remember You' by YUI.

To be honest, both covers are waaaaaay easier than the first one which is 'Misery Business'. Mayb its because its a lower key than the songs that we are doing. Plus, Nicole is more comfortable with lower key songs.. She sounds better too. Less stress. XP

Now lets cut the talks and head straight to the videos shall we? XP



'Gives you hell' is definately waaaaay easier than 'Misery Business'. The key of the songs is very comfortable. Even I can sing that song. XP Plus, it will sound pretty interesting if its sang by a girl. The chords of this songs are easy and I dont really have to play it as hardcore as the previous one. XD

But of course, during the cover shooting we did make some mistakes. All are minor mistakes except one. Did you guys watch the bloopers? Well you better watch.. its funny.. XP

Next, is 'I'll Remember You'. Yeah, its a japanese song and it made right after 'Gives You Hell'.

At first, we never thought of making this cover. We were about to make other cover like 'Just the Way you Are' or 'Pokerface' or some other song until.. Nicole opened my chord book and found some YUI songs. Turns out, she was a YUI fan as well. (Actually she told me before, just that i forgot about it. XP) Therefore, we made this cover.. XP



So what you do think of her japanese accent? I think its pretty good.. XD and guess what? It took us like only 2 tries to make this cover. All minor mistakes, therefore no bloopers. XP

Alright thats all for last week.. mayb next week we will have another few more videos to be uploaded. XP

Before I end this post I would like to say a few things..

Me and on behalf of Nicole, I would like to thank everyone of you for ALL of your support. I have been receiving GREAT comments in facebook. I've receive 17 LIKES in only 8 hours! For a first timer, thats great! Its a double digit number! XD

Ever since those great comments are coming in, Nicole has been doing great. She has more confidence in her singing, she can hear and recognize timings better and she starts moving around when she sings which is good. She can sing in public and not feeling shy about it. XD

I hope that you guys can stay along and support us. If you guys have any other suggestion like you want us to make a song request, leave a comment in the facebook, in youtube or in my blog. We will try and fullfill your request. XP

Thank You all Again!! You guys are the BEST!! X)

We Could Be Happy Cover

Any idea who sang this song? XP Watch this video and you will know. XP Make sure that you watch until the end of the whole video as I have a credit section and also blooper. XP



Hows my video editing skills? Pretty amazing eh for the first time? (NO..)

Like i said in the end of the video. The person who wrote this song is called Eriel. I think i mention before in one of my video cover's blog post. She was the girl who inspired me to do the cover of 'Brick by Boring Brick'. Remember? XP

Seems that Eriel has the talent to write songs as well. And the songs that she wrote are pretty amazing.. but among all i like this song the most cause its like more related to me. XP Its easy, meaningful and awesome.. what else can i say? Im running out of praise phrase. XD

I sorta change the chords for the song.. the chords/keys/tabs sounds different from Eriel's one. I change it because i cant figure out her chords.. (if u watched her video before, u cant really see the positions from her hands. XP) secondly, is because i cant reach her pitch.

To be honest.. i think my voice spoiled everything.. DX

Anyways.. I hope you guys like this cover. Be sure to download the real original song from her in Itunes if you want to.

Subscribe, LIKE and Comment the videos on my youtube channel..

or at least..

Go to Eriel's channel to Subscribe, LIKE and Comment. XP

More video cover are going to be update in my blog soon. Video covers ft. Nicole. You guys remember her right? XD
