Havent posted in quite awhile.. been quite busy trying to write songs.. trying.. and tweAking my effects..

My bro brought home his Keeley AD9 Yesterday... My word.. that thing is so fantastic man.. The coolest part is tt the stock footswitch is now used for feedback. As in like, when you step on it.. you get really loud cool feedback.. Noise lovers should get it! Furthermore, its true bypass!!!

Finally re arranged my pedalboard.. still gotta buy screws for visualvolume... im so lazy man...Need patch cables too.. argh.. im gna be dead broke in no time =(..

Just uploaded the new pic onto g4c!

Im addicted to listening to From The Inside Out by Hillsong United.. Its just such a cool song.. Think guitar solo! =)

Also... The stand by hillsong united.. They just rock too much..
God given blessing for us cuz we're able to use their songs for worship!.. Keep on rocking guys!.... hahaha..

Umm.. Man utd are top of the premiership table!!!!! Chelsea are 2nd.. cuz they lost 2-1!!!! ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Today;s Post

2006-10-31T04:27:00.000-08:00

eek.. ive been online for the whole day alr.. after tuition at least..

I've come up with a new GAS Attack.. For a nice OD pedal that does well on chords!.. Enough bout tt..

Today we had track training! was sooo fun.. not really. but normal training in school la.. then thurs we gg stadium for training! other than tt.. tml got my other cca and fri oso haf...

Also.. Ive got to go jamming again.. Ive got to get a RG. ive got to get a hss strat wif a floyd rose, ive got to get a ibanez s series, ive got to get a jem and a js!... argh.. Gas attacks are only too common!

Oh yeah! My epi lp is almost sold! Im losing so much cash..-.- but at least its a reasonable price the guy is paying.

That means.. i can buy my dd20. Plus my current savings and earnings from the project guitar.. i can buy my od pedal!

Shiokness..Nicky wants to relic his guitar(tele MIJ) so it'll look like JEff Beck's Esquire! just with a neck pickup.. hahaha.. this is so unfair.. man..

Today went well.. normal day.. very sleepy today(which is normal)..

Hmm.. what else went on today??

Nothing much...

Overall, how was your day?

Boring.. Normal.. *funn-filled*

Reason? Cuz i have 2 sweet spots on my dd6 and id like to be able to use both. Also... the loop function on a dl4 is nice =)...

Next: A nice tremolo pedal...

Found already. Im in love with a keeley tr2 and a byoc tremolo..
Sigh.. which to get lar.. wa lao..

Its going to be expensive anyway.. haha. the byoc trem is 112 sgd non assembled... the tr2 im nt sure. BUT ITS KEELEY...s o the price would be expensive la.. DUH!...

TK Net/Revival TK 2006 or 2007

2006-10-21T09:16:00.000-07:00

After today's sermon.. or rather also before today's sermon. I started planning a cell group for my school. TK. to be put into place once god tells me to go for it.. or rather when the green light shines. Also planned, is a revival/outreach to the school. to bring more ppl in my school to christ.This is my dream for my school and its a vision that god has set in my heart and i will NEVER let anything interfere with it.

Plans for TK Net(In brief)
Weekly meetings for prayer, worship and etc etc..
Plan outreaches for school
To have a room that we can use premanently on the day we plan to meet up for it.

Revival Tk
In the school hall or somewhere else if possible.
To have at least 100 students accept christ as their lord and saviour.

If there are any more, i will update...

God, do you believe in him? Let me say something, he is REAL. He is EVERYWHERE. What does it mean to be a christian? To have accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour!

John 3:16 (New International Version)
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God gave his only son, Jesus to die on the cross for your sins! Come on man,.. i don't think you would die for someone. He DIED to save YOU and ME. God loves everyone. Even murderers and drug addicts. No matter how much wrong you do. You can never make him hate you. He does'nt hate people. But the only right way to go to heaven, is through him, to become a christian!
