Mondays...

Kick started some of my new year resolutions this morning.
1) I woke up at 7am
2) I exercised for 15 min
3) Practiced guitar for 15 min
4) Practiced speaking Korean for 15 min

Then off i go to work...
and...
it didn't go all that smoothly...
1) Before even i stepped out of the house, the door jammed. Yeah... we were locked inside.
2) Reached office a lil late.
3) Though productive day... but i was kinda moody and grumpy.

BUT!

This won't stop me from achieving my resolutions.

Hope i can keep this up!

New Year Resolution - pt2

You know what? Forget about starting my reso next year!
I'm starting some of it right now!
Yes NOW!
29th Nov 2010!

I seriously feel that i've wasted too much time!
Wish me luck in accomplishing it!
I am determined to!

아 자 아 자 화 이 팅!

Check this out!

I've made a better post on Kim Jung Il in the sister site.

Go check it out by clicking the link below!


*it's purely for entertainment purposes... no pun intended*

Kim Jung Il

Another one just for laughter...

Kim Jung Il, the de facto leader of North Korea, always believed that North Korea is much better than the South.

He always emphasis that North Korea is Best Korea!

But looking at satelite images of North Korea...

It doesn't seemed that convincing... Lolz.

Attack!

Just for laughter...

If Kim Jung-Il is gonna wage a war with South Korea, the first attack will most probably look like this.

Personal gift from Kim Jung-Il to Lee Myung Bak

New Year Resolution

Had been thinking a lot lately especially when i was sick and lying on my bed doing absolutely nothing but think, think and think. I've reflected a lot on the past 27 years of my life.

What had i done?
What had i learnt?
What had i achieved?

Seriously, i almost burst into tears.
When it comes to achievements, i achieved nothing... when it comes to learning, i din learn much...
Where and what am I right now?
Absolutely nothing.
Guess i'm just a real small dot on this huge world.

I've always aspired to be someone influential to the society, but right now, i ain't heading there. I've wasted 27 years!
That's 9855 days!
Dang it!

Anyways, it's pointless to cry over spilt milk.
So here i have... my first draft of my 2011 New Year Resolution!

1. Learn a new language (Korean) - might come in handy when i go there next year.
2. Learn the art of self defense (Wing Chun) - found a dojo in OUG area.
3. Learn hip hop dance. Yes, DANCE! - Since i don't have much time for gym, dance can be a form of exercise for me.
4. Stop procrastinating!
5. Be more disciplined with my schedules - especially waking up every morning.
6. Be more active in sports! - Badminton & squash will be great.
7. Spend more time with mom and dad.
8. Read a book every fortnight.
9. Have a proper eating habit - less fast food & more healthy food.
10. Get a job in Singapore!
*edited* 11. Learn some video editing!

To be continued...

Well, that's my new year resolution so far. I know it's a wee bit too early for this but heys... at least i thought about it!
Time to be more proactive!

Pray for Korea

It's the hottest topic in today's news. Ireland's debt in the economy crisis is NOTHING compared to shelling on one of South Korea's island located west of Seoul. As at now, two South Korean soldiers were killed and some civilians are injured. This event caused the tension between the 2 neighbors to escalate even further.

Whoever you are, readers, passerby, friends, family members... please PRAY for Korea.

For those who don't know, Seoul is located just 30 miles from North Korea. Tons of artillery are pointed on this city of 26 million civilians and the North won't hesitate to decimate it if they want to.

I urge you all... please pray for Korea.

Chivary Ain't Dead!

Who says chivalry is dead? Recently there's a lot of local gals complaining that guys ain't that gentlemen as they should be.

Hello!
Please stop stereotyping us guys ok?
Not everyone is like what you think.
Though to a certain degree i do accept the fact that most M'sian guys are "Ah Beng"-ish and total morons but heys... not us all!
So stop generalizing!

Now, lets break it down...
Take this morning for example. While i was driving on my way to work, i came across this large group of ppl who wanted to cross the road. Obviously, i stopped my car to let them pass... everything was fine except for this particular bitch who crosses the road so damn slow like a granny. She's in her mid 20's only!

So?
Do i owe her something?
Why can't she just cross the damn road faster instead of bitching around slowly?

Damn it...
if i horned at her, she'll say i'm rude.
if i dun let her cross, she'll say i'm stuck up and chivalry is dead.

WTF?

Come on girls!
If u wan guys to change... you have to change urself first!
Start appreciating what guys are doin and STOP bitching!
Not all guys are Ah Bengs!

Stupid Ah Lians...

Similarities between Abraham Lincoln and John F Kennedy

This is freaking me out!
Coincidental or plotted?

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.

Both were shot in the back of the head in the presence of their wives. Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theater. Kennedy was shot in a Lincoln, made by Ford. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908.

Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.

This is funny...


Boa - 늘 (Waiting)



This song has been playing in my head over and over for some time. Can you believe that this song was sung by Boa when she's only 19? That's 4 years ago! The amount of emotion that she's putting in this song is unbelievable.

늘 (Waiting)

우리 얼마 만인가요 참 오랜 시간이 흘렀네요 왜 자꾸 내 맘이 아픈건지
왜 그리 아파하나요 혹시라도 힘든 일 있었나요 왜 아무말하지 않나요

지금인데 그대 앞인데 말해야 하는데 나의 마음을 오랜 시간 그대를 향한 길었던 내 기다림을
바보 같죠 항상 그랬죠 그래야 했죠 그댈 위해서 사랑해요 여전히 감사해요

왜 날 잡지 않았나요 왜 아무것도 묻지 않았나요 그대 없는 내가 괜찮을 것 같나요

지금인데 그대 앞인데 말해야 하는데 나의 마음을 오랜 시간 그대를 향한 길었던 내 기다림을
바보 같죠 항상 그랬죠 그래야 했죠 그댈 위해서 사랑해요 여전히 감사해요

나 알고 있어요 내가 그대에게 마지막 한가지 해줄 수 있는 것이 이별뿐이라는 것

이제서야 깨달은 나의 모자란 사랑을 용서해 줘요
사랑해요 여전히 감사해요 사랑해요 이말이 하고 싶었죠

Andy Moore - Faces

It's been a while since i posted something about trance. Honestly, i've been listening to a whole lot of Korean songs lately and i guess i'm really addicted to it. Anyways, here a cool track from Andy Moore titled "Faces".



It's a collaboration with Ashley Wallbridge and featuring Meighan Nealon as the vocalist. This is a massive bomb in the club! Drop this track in your mix and you are guaranteed a mass killing on the dance floor. Especially from 3:45 til 4:15 minute of the track, it is uber original. First of it's kind that i ever heard.

Now that is trance for ur soul!

Malaysia Boleh!

First we have pirated vcds & dvds...
Then we have pirated luxury handbags...
Later on we have pirated cars...

And now...

We have a Malaysian hacker!

Truely... Malaysia Boleh!

Hurricane Venus

Alright! I got Boa Kwon's latest album "Hurricane Venus" (6th Korean Album) over the weekend and had been listening to it non stop, over and over since. Man, i can "guaran-damn-tee" that it is outrageously contagious. The beats are uber groovy and makes you wanna dance when listening to it! So here are my track by track comprehensive review about this album...

Boa's 6th Korean Album, Hurricane Venus

Track listing:-
1. GAME
2. Hurricane Venus
3. DANGEROUS
4. 옆사람 Yeop Saram (Stand By)
5. M.E.P (My Electronic Piano)
6. LET ME
7. 한별 Han Byeol (Implode)
8. ADRENALINE
9. 하루하루 Haru Haru (Ordinary Day)
10. Don’t Know What To Say
11. Romance

The first 3 tracks, "Game", "Hurricane Venus" and "Dangerous", are the typical dance songs from Boa. The beat is very, very catchy and groovy. One thing that differentiate Korean dance songs from others are Korean's like to keep it simple... hence, very are focused on the kicks and beats. In layman's term, it gives a very dramatic, focused and heart pumping (especially "Dangerous") sensation. In my personal opinion, i think a dance song should be... minimal... cause when u are dancing, it ain't the fills that makes u dance... its the beats. My favourite dance song from this album is "Hurricane Venus". It's really "Electronic-manic-supersonic-bionic energy".

"옆사람 - Yeop Saram (Stand By)" - I'm so in love with Boa Kwon after listening to this song. She really shines when she's singing ballads. She fully utilizes her range of vocals and you can feel her singing so emotionally. She really sings her heart out. That's the reason why her CD's are worth keeping. I believe that this song proofs to the world that she's has grown up and her voice has matured. She din reserve a single breath on the high pitches. It really facinates me upon hearing her vocals hitting those high notes. In a way, she's telling the world "hey... i'm not a kid anymore!"

"M.E.P (My Electronic Piano)" - A contemporary pop song but there's nothing really impressive with this song. Not my liking.

"Let Me" - Another dance song but sadly, it somehow lacks the "oomph" if compared with the other dance songs in this album. Not my liking too... =(

"한별 - Han Byeol (Implode)" - Another wonderful ballad. A really sad and touchy song. Again, she sung it with full of emotional and she does sound as if she is really going to cry. The emotional feeling and element is very well displayed and sung. This song also featured J.W from Nell, a Korean indie rock band. The part when J.W sings "It's so damn hard, for me to let you go" almost made me burst into tears. The feeling at that moment is just so touching! J.W did well in medley-ing with Boa's voice. In fact, i think their voice do match quite well. Gosh... Boa should just come out with pure ballad albums.

"Adrenaline" - A dance song with a lil bit of Britney Spears element. Not bad, as the beat is there to keep the groove going but somehow, i don't feel the energy.

"하루하루 - Haru Haru (Ordinary Day)"- Another contemporary pop but this one is a definite keeper! A very smooth, easy going, happy and uplifting song. I just so love the way Boa pronounces "Haru Haru", it's so cute! Listening to this song really does make you feel happy and destressed in a way.

"Don't Know What To Say", "Romance" - Ever wanted to teleport yourself back to the 70's and listen to a lady singing by the pianist in the local bar or pub? This 2 song will do just that for you. Both are acoustic songs with just the piano and Boa's voice. It'll carry you through an amazing journey of ups and downs with Boa's fantastic vocals. The song "Romance" has a really blues and jazzy element to it. Both very soothing and relaxing to the ears.

Overall, the album is pretty good. A must have for those who love to dance.

Kenneth's Rating:
Music: 9.0/10.0
Lyrics: 8.0/10.0
Pro: A very lively and groovy album with a few fantastic ballads
Cons: Not everyone is into dance music
Comments: I dunno about you all but i'm in LOVE with Boa!

Banpo Bridge - Seoul

How come we don't have a bridge like this here in Malaysia?



This bridge is located at the heart of Seoul, Korea. It actually consists of 2 bridges. Jamsu (1975) being at the bottom while Banpo (1982) is on top of it. 달빛무지개 분수 or known as Moonlight Rainbow Fountain was installed on September 2009. In order to put on a magnificiant display instead of just a plain'o'boring fountain, 10,000 LED nozzles were installed on both sides of the 1.1km bridge. Check out the vid below, it's truly a piece of art!

Nothing better to put in the news?

Seriously, what's wrong with the news now a days? No better scoop to tell the world about is it? Or are they running out of things to fill their daily column with? What with all this "hoo-haa" about a undergrad kid living a millionaire life? It's not even his wealth! It's his parents!

If he made it all by himself... then that would be something to shout about! Not this! This is utter rubbish from The Star.

A 22-year-old undergraduate owns more than S$5mil (RM11.5mil) worth of property and luxury cars in Singapore, reported Sin Chew Daily. The undergraduate known as Ah Long said his parents bought him two condominiums worth S$2.2mil (RM5mil).

He had earlier owned a three-storey landed property worth S$2.2mil (RM5mil). The fully furnished property was bought about three years ago. Ah Long said his parents bought him a S$320,000 (RM736,000) Mercedes Benz when he obtained his driving license.

“They later bought me another Mercedes Benz worth S$400,000 (RM920,000).

“I also have another car, a Honda, which I use to bring my dog for its grooming sessions,” he said.

The daily reported that the youth’s father owned a legal firm and had many investments in the island republic and China. His mother, a Chinese national, still worked as a senior engineer.

Ah Long said that he liked handphones and pens, adding that he had bought at least eight handphones over the past three years.

The most expensive handphone he had ever owned was a S$12,000 (RM27,600) Nokia Vertu. He said that he also had six Montblanc pens priced between S$600 (RM1,380) and S$2,000 (RM4,600).

When asked what he wanted to do most, Ah Long said he would love to work as a “frontliner” in a hotel. “I love to experience different things,” he said, adding that he donated S$200 (RM460) monthly to a children’s foundation and various charitable organisations.

RUBBISH!!

Disappointed...

I just got back from the interview in HP Global Center. Damn... it's kinda disappointing. I wasn't prepared AT ALL for the technical questions that they're gonna bombard me with... and it's so freaking hard to answer them!
I hadda tell them frankly that i can't answer some of the questions. Damn... i do hope it turns out alright.

I really wanna get out of Sunway...

*fingers crossed & praying hard*

It's Okay

Oh yeah, in regards to the earlier post "Korea #1", there's a song "It's Okay" sung by Nell. It's a real cool song... Here are the lyrics:

It's Okay

행복해. 그런 순간이 있었단 것 만으로
충분히 행복해
이해해. 모든 만남엔 끝도 있다는 것 쯤
충분히 이해해
So don`t lie to me. Please don't lie to me
That's whats hurting me..
So don`t lie to me. Please don't lie to me
That's whats hurting me.. Love`s no sympathy
행복해.. 행복해..
그런 기억 있단 것만으로도 나는 행복해
이해해.. 이해해..
그런 맘에도 없는 말들 안해도 다 이해해

행복해. 그런 웃음이 있었단 것 만으로
충분히 행복해
So don`t lie to me. Please don't lie to me
That's whats hurting me..
So don`t lie to me. Please don't lie to me
That's whats hurting me.. Love`s no sympathy
행복해.. 행복해..
그런 기억 있단 것만으로도 나는 행복해
이해해.. 이해해..
그런 맘에도 없는 말들 안해도 다 이해해

And if you have to go
Then I will let you go
And if you have to go
Then I will let you go
행복해.. 행복해..
그런 기억 있단 것만으로도 나는 행복해
이해해.. 이해해..
그런 맘에도 없는 말들 안해도 다 이해해
행복해.. 행복해..
그런 기억 있단 것만으로도 나는 행복해
It's okay.. It's okay
굳이 애써가며 그렇게까지 안해도 돼
행복해. 그런 축복이 있었단 것 만으로
충분히 행복해
이해해. 우리 얘기의 끝에 왔다는 것 쯤
충분히 이해해
It's okay...

Korea #1

I'm getting really addicted to Korean songs... probably even with it's culture!
But who doesn't?
For a country of it's size... they are truly remarkable!

They have the world's top players in the gaming community.


They make internationally recognized cars.

They have some internationally recognized singers.

BoA Kwon

Lee Hyori

They have the hottest actresses.

Kim Hee Sun

Song Hye Kyo

They have some of the best indie bands.

Time flies...

Can't believe that i'm about to head back to the hustle and bustle of KL city in a few more hours. Dang! How time flies! It felt like i just came back home a couple of hours ago... and now, i have to head back to the concrete jungle of stress! But i think it's ok... i have transfered tons of korean songs from CD's to my hand phone. It'll come in handy accompanying me during the 2 hr journey.

Guess i better start packing now...

Who said guys don't cry?

Seriously... guys have feelings too! No matter how tough or how strong he could be, guys do cry!


Funny yet true! Haha... this guys are awesome!

Overdosed

I think i'm getting overdosed with Boa Kwon... Had been listening to her songs over and over. I also bought some of her CD's including the latest one "Hurricane Venus". Will be making a review on those CD's soon. As at now, i need to recompose myself from this infectious listening. It's so contagious listening to her sing.

Seriously, her name BoA... it really stands for Beat of Angel.

Damn... her voice really is like an angel especially when she sing ballads.

As for my latest liking, it's the song titled "Implode", also from her latest album Hurricane Venus. Definitely one of the best song in the album.


한별

돌이킬 수 없는 시간들
무너져 내리는 감정들
붙잡아도 손틈 사이로 흩어져
하염없이 흘러내리는
눈물 때문에 자꾸 나는 시선 둘 곳 찾아 헤메이고 있어.

나를 떠나지마 그 말 한마디가
그때는 왜 그렇게도 힘들었는지
내 곁에 머물러줘 그 말 한마디가
그때는 왜 그렇게도 힘들었을까.

빈틈없이 나를 채우는
부서져 내리는 기억들
비워내려 애를 써도 소용없고
모질게 나를 꼭 붙잡는
그리움들이 자꾸 나를
머물지도 돌아서지도 못 하게해.

안녕이란 그 말, 흔해빠진 그 말
그 말 한마디에 많고 많았던 웃음과 눈물을 묻고
거짓말처럼 그 어떤 일도 없었다는 듯 살아질 수 있을까.

It's so damn hard for me to let you go
you know I can't let you go
no I can't let you go

그렇게 떠난 너를
자꾸 떠올리게 돼 나는
붙잡아도 손틈 사이로 흩어져
아직도 그대론데 나는
기다리고 있는데 너를
텅빈 안부 조차 없는 그댄 어디에.

내 곁에 머물러줘.

Back in Ipoh!

Oh yes! Finally managed to made myself some time to go back to Ipoh for the weekend. It's an opportunity to finally catch up with my parents, my dog, and of course... my bed! After all the stressful and busy schedule since the last 3 weeks, i think i deserve some "quality" rest.
=)

Stand By

BoA is back!
I happened to bump into this song on Youtube just now. It's amazing!



그녀와 또 힘들 때면 이렇게 불쑥 찾아와서
한참이나 뜸들이다 내게 모든 걸 쏟아내죠
그러다가 못나게 또 애써 그녀의 변명을 하면서
힘없이 내 두 손을 잡고 끝내 울먹이네요

이렇게 난 네 옆에 있는데 언제나 늘 여기에 있는데
함께 있으면 늘 힘이 되고 고맙다는 너의 옆 사람
이렇게 난 나란히 앉아서 언제나 늘 들어주는 사람
언젠간 너와 마주하고픈 내 이런 맘은 왜 모를까요

그녀가 혹 바쁠 때면 한참 만에 날 찾아와서
심심하다, 배고프다, 해달라는 게 참 많아요.
티격태격 연인처럼 즐겁게 나와 얘길 하다가도
그녀에게 전화가 오면 아이처럼 좋아하죠

이렇게 난 네 옆에 있는데 언제나 늘 여기에 있는데
함께 있으면 늘 웃게 되고 편하다는 너의 옆 사람
이렇게 난 나란히 앉아서 언제나 늘 들어주는 사람
무심한 표정 그 뒤에 감춘 내 설레임은 왜 모를까요

난 지쳐만 가요 차라리 그댈 멀리 할까요
세월이 지나 불현듯 나의 빈자리에서 이런 내 맘 읽을까

하지만 난 오늘도 이렇게 결국 또 이 자리
언제나 너의 옆모습 보며 아파하는 너의 옆 사람
이렇게 난 모든 걸 비운 채 언제나 널 기다리는 사람
이렇게라도 곁에 있어야 숨 쉴 수 있는 너의 옆 사람


It's from her latest album Hurricane Venus... I'm so gonna get the album!

Dance Evolution

Lolz, Judson Laipply is awesome! Check this vid out!


Now that's what i call an evolution of dance!

Gummy Shots!

Wow!

Edible shot glass made of gummy!



Go check out more info at vat19.com! They have tons of weird stuffs for sale!

URGH!

It's been a while since i posted an entry on my blog here. It's mainly due to the hectic time line i'm facing currently with my job. I'm drowning in my own workload. Helpppp!

On top of that, i'm sick again. Yes... SICK! As in, really having a bad ass sore throat and fever. I know i should be resting at home, but hecks... as if the company cares about me. All they care about is getting their work done.

After struggling through for them, what do I get? NOTHING! Not even a simple pat on the back. WTH? Seriously...

"Love you job and not your company because the company will never love you back!"

Whenever u find that your job is getting a bit too mundane or boring, it's a sign... it's time to search for greener pasture. And that's what i'm doing right now. In fact, i'll be having my interview on 15th of November 2010! Fingers crossed that i do get that job! Though it's not what i wanted initially (i was hunting for jobs in Singapore), but i guess this MNC is pretty much my stepping stone into bailing myself out of this country. They have offices worldwide and they actually encourage internal rotation (as in going overseas...).

With all honesty, i HATE my current job. All the management do is dump u into the deep blue sea and expect u to get their work done without any guidance or training.

Read my lips:
I AM a motivated employee...
I AM an innovative employee...
I AM an initiator...
I AM a leader...
BUT...
are you gonna just leave me all alone without a life jacket in the vast open sea?
are you gonna let the blind lead the blind?
are you not gonna at least shine a lil light on my path so that i'll know where to go?

Screw you!

Starbucks... my second home

Starbucks had became a second home to me recently. I had been camping there, drinking coffee, surfing the internet, and... been job hunting there too. Regular customer i'd been huh? Seriously... i need to bail out of this country, quick!

Singapore please call me!

Taken in Starbucks @ Sunway Pyramid

Excessive Gaming

What happens when u play too much online games and the internet connection sucks (just like streamyx)? Well, most probably you'll end up like him...


Not a good day huh? Hee hee...

Sunset in Kelana Jaya.


Beautiful blue skies @ 6.15pm

30 minutes before the sun sets.

Ain't the world just beautiful?

P.S - The 2 pics above is taken from my phone's camera. It's only 3.2 megapixels...

The Love of GOD!

A touching testimony... how God converted a muslim women into Christianity!

The Social Network


I managed to watch this cool movie "The Social Network" just recently and it's really an eye opener. This movie is about Facebook. Now, most of us are already registered users of Facebook, but do we know how it came about?

This movie will answer the questions of:
Who is the founder of Facebook?
Who are the co-founders?
Where did it originate from?
What drives Facebook to succeed?
and many others...

Though the movie is quite boring (as many technical terms and jargons are used throughout the movie), however, as the story unfolds on how facebook came about and how friends can turn into enemies will keep you glued to your seats. Watch how the founder and his team has to struggle through hardship and lawsuits just to make Facebook a reality.

This movie is based closely on the book The Accidental Billionaires written by Ben Mezrich. For those who ain't much of a movie lover, can always opt for the book. I've read thru it last year way before the movie was made. And yes... it's exactly the same as the movie.


So, go grab yourself a copy now from Amazon!


Kenneth's Ratings:
Movie: 7.5/10.0
Story line: 8.5/10.0
Pros: Really an eye opener on and about Facebook
Cons: Can get rather boring as it's too technical at certain scenes.
Comments: Worth watching to gain some general knowledge.

Sound of Violence

Though the title sounds a bit violent but the song is definitely not! I just so love it starting 2:18 of the track.

Sunway Family Day 2010

Seriously, this is so long overdue. I din really had much time recently to edit the photos that were taken during the Family Day event held in Sunway Lagoon on the 24th October 2010.

Anyways, here are some of the photos of the event. Massive thingy I should say as there are literally tons of ppl around. Mostly Sunway staffs and their family.



Entrance

Man-made waterfall




Suspension bridge







Me and my bud reached the entrance at 10.30am, grabbed the goodies bag and headed straight to the water park. There are tons of ppl there. Serious! We din even managed to get onto the rides... the queue is ridiculous! Damn...

However we did managed to walk around, snapped some photos and checked out some hot chics. We busted out of that joint at around 3pm. All in all, it was good. Nice weather too...

=)

P.S. - The rest of the photos can be found in my facebook... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=573363&id=717975710

P.S.S - This entry is exactly the same as my other blog doubleownage.blogspot.com as i was lazy to make another entry of the same post. =P

Just the way you are...

I'm growing a liking for this song!

Go Bruno Mars! Go!

B-Boy Junior

Man... i wished i could dance like him (the dude in white on the right side)!


His name is Bosila Banya, going with the name B-Boy Junior. Go check out his bio from Hubpages.com.

Many of you may not know this, but... he is actually disabled. He has polio. But heys... that didn't stopped him from becoming one of the best break-dancer in the world! He really gives a lot of inspiration to others especially the disabled that nothing is impossible. Where there's a will, certainly there is a way!

As commented by WAP-Tek in Hubpages.com,
"So what if you can walk like other kids? You could learn to fly cause gravity means nothing to a spirit!"

Imagine

The title pretty much says it all...

Make way for the legendary John Lennon with one of the world's most beautiful song, "Imagine"



Yeah, the quality of the vid sucks... but who cares? I rather listen to this song with my eyes closed and "imagine" along...

BRO-mance!

Check out this cool vid! It's a nice collaboration between Phillip Wang, Ryan Higa, and Jay Park. Awesome stuff! This guys are way too hilarious...



Awesome? Check out the behind the scenes + bloopers too!



That's it for today! Lights out for me!

Even Greater

With reference to one of my previous post "Hope of All Hearts", I've finally got my hands on Planetshaker's latest album "Even Greater"!


If i were to describe the album in one words... it'll be WOW!

An absolutely fantastic album!

The intro itself is awesome enough to keep your ears glued to the speaker/headphone.

For those who don't know who Planetshakers are, they are certainly one of the coolest christian rock band! Go check out their official web here for more info.

Below are the album's track list.

  1. "Intro"
  2. "This Love"
  3. "Now I'm Free"
  4. "Everyone"
  5. "Lord Of All"
  6. "Interlude"
  7. "Even Greater"
  8. "God Is Able"
  9. "Worship"
  10. "God Is Love"
  11. "Hope Of All Hearts"
  12. "I Believe It"
  13. "There's Freedom"
  14. "Devoted To You"
  15. "With All My Heart"

The first 3 songs (after the short intro) are high praises. Trust me... u'll be jumping around with ur hands lifted up in your own room looking like a crazy fella. But hey... dun close that door! There's nothing to be ashamed of! We should be "undignified" for God! Jump, dance, sing, and shout it out for Jesus unreservedly!

The next song, "Lord of All" has less pump to it... in a way, it's preparing our hearts for an intimate worship coming next after it. Track 6 "Interlude" did a great job in transitioning the listener's heart for the next 2 intimate worship songs.

If you were to skip tracks... "Even Greater" & "God Is Able" is NOT to be missed! The style of this 2 songs are more towards modern contemporary worship with a tad of rock-ish element.

Then comes a short sharing session by Sam Evans... one of the pastors of Planetshaker church... The sharing session is backed by a song with a powerful statement that "God is Love".

Yes! Our God is bigger, our God is stronger, our God is love, our God is ABLE!

AMEN!

The next song is the one that i loved the most in this album, "Hope of All Hearts". The first time i heard this song, tears just rolled down my cheeks... it touched me so much... The lyrics is just so meaningful! I remember posting this song a couple of days back, and i had been listening to it over and over since and yet, it still touches my heart so ever strongly. God you really are "Hope of all hearts! It is You and Your love never fails."

After that, the momentum picks up again with "I Believe" and "There's Freedom". Similiar to the first few tracks of the album, it's fast pace and heart pumping high praise songs.

The album ends with 2 contemporary worship songs, "Devoted to You" and "With All My Heart".

It's definitely worth having and adding this album into your collection of christian music.

Go! Get not 1 but 2... and bless another person with that CD right now!
