My Blog

i thank god for all the good things he has done for me.

really…., when i think about it an di look back, man did god really open up oportunities for me.

Im a rockstar wannabe, living a dream as i sling my guitar and break a few licks to a crowd that knows little about what youre doing. In the musical realm, oportunities are important and knowing the right people-priceless.

i do not think i have achieved any success in a monetary sense as my pockets are still dry and i still dont have my own car. However i am confident enough to say that i am blessed with great friends, occasional oportunities and some recognition. Lil as it may seem but it does mean a lot to me.

just 4 years ago mantaining a band was troublesome. Platforms were hard to come by and getting enough dough to buy great equipment seemed impossible.

Blessings have god showered me. Now im proud to say i have great equipment, tons of great guitars, my own practice space and gigs everymonth. i still remember that days i had only one crappy guitar. Everytime i looked at my peers with great equipment all i can do is wish.

sometimes i still get the stares. ill admit that some people dont like me. Im cool with that, usually i wont even bother as i have better things to worry about. But it does serve as a reminder. I tell myself, that no matter what happens in the world we must remember whose side are we on. If we are on the side of god, then we have nothing to worry about.

boring post?, maybe… but all of a sudden i just felt real touched by the blessings of the lord and i just gotta put it down here.

heres a list of things taht you might find interesting…

i have a big dream. i still do. as i was pretty much struggling to be somebody in my teenage years, this yearning has put a certain drive in me to want to achieve. and with knowing god, lately ive been seeing all these goals i set for myself coming to pass..

i always wanted a great guitar… i only had 1 which i bought with every scrap cent i had. then all of a sudden i had 6,7??? cnat remember as i sold 2 away?… wait i still ahve 6 electrics and 3 acoustics…? wait…nvm… you get teh picture… NO, I NEVER EVER PAID OVER 400 ringgit from my own savings for any of my guitars…they were either given to me or won im competitions.

asean beat…. it was always a dream. i always wondered how it would feel to play in front of a crowd of tons of people, like in an arena or stadium adn represent malaysia in teh finals…i got there…now i know. but it was prayer all the way.

the reason why im still alive is also god. ive been living rather recklesly… well used to. God taught me a valuable in aggressive inline skating. god showed me what it was to value what was given to you and through a "certain" experience i quit smoking.

blessed is the name of the lord.
