yesterday was a blast! expectations were sky-high and the night really delivered! was with zhu/gill/dave etc and we went into bar none! how cool.. they din even check id.....darren came later....to check out 3 bands! highrise, ronin, and electrico....=) the place was absolutely absolutely packed, especially when ronin was playing, but thanks to gerald we got seats, yay. could even stand on them some more. lol. drinks were cheap, stella was going at 5 a bottle!

the bands: highrise was typically britrock, the songs really quite lacklusture, but the atmosphere was nice, a full sound with some chiming guitars from an es-335 (Aria), usual 4-4 stomping coldplayesque music. ronin was absolutely funny and 80s-guns-and-roses-like with their screaming antics and the showmanship of the albino frontman, really distinctive. he engaged e crowd really well. a bit 80s, though. electrico was cool. nice songs, lyke the number-one hit 'i want you'. okay so far so good.

went for supper later on and i swear all of us sure kena get fat one. everytime we go to these places we always end up at glutton square! (next to specalist's shopping centre, the makan place) we ended up just chatting and chilling and ahhh it was fun fun. im back to my crazy self again. still young, you know. cannot always lisetn to frank sinatra.

so I will take up my cross and follow You, O Lord. there's something exciting about this spiritual journey--it is a journey, not just a state of mind, there is a beginning and an end in the far-away future--it's exciting because, well, you'd never know where God is going to lead you. it's just, trusting Him and letting HIm lead. because everyday there is a struggle, but then, this spiritual journey is long and hard, it requires, determination, yes, and a spirituality, a strength; it's not just flippant hedonism or thrill-seeking, but is grounded on solid word, on people, on the Spirit, on tangible things. and it's that tangible thing that i want to find. I find that prayer is so important, especially just praying with all your heart and seeking God, because that's the only way that you'll ever really grow. praying without really meaning it is USELESS. i might as well not pray.
