Hi all!
This song is dedicated to Glenda and it just seemed never ending when she kept on asking me to sing this again and again. Well, it is a pretty cool song by Howie Day, called Collide. This song is mainly talking about how a couple being together and although everything seemed so contrasting and contradicting, they still crashed on together.
Well, there are many times in life where everything about two person just seemed so incompatible and incompatible it may be, they'd stick on together and never seperate. Well, I guess this is called fate. When two person are meant to be together, they would be together no matter what happens...
Once again, the songs posted here are all performed by me and yes, hope all of you out there would be able to give me comments as in how I can improve and all that...
To Glenda: Enjoy this Song.

A quiet day all by Myself...
A quiet day and finally, I had completed some of the functions for my Uncle's company inventory System. Sad to say, my stubborness in ensuring a proper design had drastically increased the development time but I would say that such increase would be useful in the long run. At least, I would be able to handle the codes more efficiently the next time round.
Too much things in hand now, need to study at night, work in the day, do my song recordings and also, some developments for my uncle. Fruitful I must say but can be pretty stressful when they all come together at one time. To further worsen the situation, driving lessons and project is coming down the line.
My project supervisor is out! But then he had not replied my email the whole day...
Dragon Boating Ouch!
Although the pain is not as great compared to last week, the aftermath seemed to be more destructive. Now, I can feel the ache of my entire body from my tighs all the way to my back and shoulders. I guess the gruelling work out during training yesterday is taking its toll on my body.
The training was pretty tough where the entire training begins with a 1.6km Run around Kallang Area. The morning run is rather refreshing but the need to keep pace with the Trainer is pretty tough. Being a commando in the past, I guess he is used to sprinting down long distances- a luxury in which I did not get to enjoy during my Army Days.
After the run, there was a short weight lifting session where we carried some weights. Although the weight is not exactly heavy, the need to do 30 reps of Bicep Curls, Upright Row, Clean and Jerk and Wrist Curls is no easy feat. By then, I could not have been able to feel my arm. Just before we are about to enter the water, we would still need to do 2 sets of 8 Pull Ups.
With my already battered body, we moved on into the Sea and begin rowing. The only though in my mind then, "When would my arm drop off into the Sea?". In the end, it is only perserverance and determination that pushed me through all this.
To conclude all this, the movement is simply not as easy as many would thought it would be and seriously, I am very amazed by the strength and determination the seniors have. Throughout the entire rowing session, they did not stop for a single row at all and to make a matter worse, I am so much younger than them!
I guess, it would be a long way to reach the level where they are.However, I am very sure that this level does exist somewhere...
An Early Day in the Gym
Forced myself to wake up early in the morning just to go to gym this morning. Well, the good thing is that I am not alone as Steve and Wee Kiat were there to train with me though. The workout was pretty simple with a bit of slow jogging on the threadmill before hitting the weights on my chest and abs today. Sometimes, I really wonder if I am training correctly as there is no significant improvement after such a long time though.
Preparing to go for Movies later. I do not know if it is for the movie or for Jay Chou but heard that Secret is not a bad film out in the cinemas these days.
Verdict for Self Tanning Lotion
It is totally tested and the verdict is out. The use of the Self Tanning Lotion actually works! Applying the lotion frequently does give you a good tan even though I spent most of my time indoors. In addition, the tan does last for quite some time. The inital though is that the reason for seeing a visible tan is mainly because of the tint in the lotion but it is not the case. The tan is still visible after a few days although it does fade a little along the way.
However, there is a price to pay as the product does have its short-comings. Firstly, the tint in the lotion makes application pretty messy at times. It is very easy to stain clothings and the stains can be quite hard to remove. In addition to that, the tint would affect your plams, making it look dirty. The stain is pretty difficult to remove.
Summary, the product works if you do not mind feeling dirty for a substantial period of time...
Quiet Day with a Thought in Mind...
A typically quiet and peaceful day where there is nothing much happening around the area. Everything is serene and will be required to go down to school later for lessons. Sometimes, I do wonder why I would need to force myself through all this shit where I can relax and take things from a slower perception. Perhaps, it would make my day more comfortable. Well, perhaps it is my impatient nature which rushes me on. I simply do not like a moment of waste in time.
Alot of my friends were shocked when I said that the recording of the song posted previously was performed by me. Well, I guess I did not make it clear enough but yes, it is recorded and performed by myself. So, if you guys are interested how it sound like, feel free to download it and let me know if there is any way I can further improve myself...
Wondering what should my next song be. Anyone out there have any suggestions, do feel free to drop me a mail...
The good thing about MacDonald's
I guess many people faced the same problem as me in Singapore and one point of time, you would hate MacDonald's till a point where the sight of it simply turns you off. Imagine this scenario. You are about to step out for lunch after a tiring first half of lunch with your colleagues and typically, the first question which I would ask , "Where shall we go today?"
Well, in most typical cases, another would reply, "Anything, you decide!". This is a typical thought that most would have mainly due to the fact of being lazy to think so much about where to eat. And I would in most cases (pretending to be excited about it), "Let's go MacDonald's!"
When they hear this statement, they would look at me with their eyes wide open and they would start giving real solid suggestions like, "How bout this XXX, I heard their Noodles are fantastic!"
In most scenarios, there would be really cool suggestions which would help brighten up your lunch. Well, MacDonald's in this case is truly a solid Brain Juice catalyst when it comes to lunch break outings. If the people are plain lazy of thinking of a place, no harm bring MacDonald's into the picture. It usually have a positive result out of it.
Well, although I still miss my childhood days where I would die to go to MacDonald's for the Happy Meal, I guess too much of it would simply put you off at times...
CANNOT SLEEP...
Well, trying very hard to sleep but I guess it is pretty tough given the fact that I had been sleeping for the whole night. Dropping by to see how things goes for this blog...
DRAGON BOAT FINALLY...
It's been a long time and alot of planning and talking before this day came. My first completed dragon boat session is finally done and now, my whole body is aching like mad. Well, it was a very fruitful training and also, I get to row without the fear of cutting my thumb again. I guess, it should be safe. The technique is quite fun but then, I guess the intensity would only get higher as time goes by, especially when training with Sea Hawk where the people there are more seasoned rowers compared to those today.
Also, recieved alot of comments from my friends regarding that recording made. I would like to thank them for listening to it and giving me such positive comments where I would be able to improve and work harder on. If there is any Songs you would wish to hear from me, feel free to drop a dedication. I would try my best to prepare it...

GUINEA PIG GETTING A TAN
Does this look harmless to you?
A GREAT LESSON LEARNT...
It is a pretty depressing day for my family due to some upsetting incidents in which happened. Well, as it is often said that, "The disgrace should not be known to the public", I shall not spend too much effort in elaborating the issue. But I guess it would not be harmful to say that no matter what happens in life, it is always good to stay within your limits and work within the given constraints. In life, there are mistakes in which can never be made. When they do happen, it would often mean the end...
Well, not saying that my Family is fallen apart though. We are in one solid piece still as usual...
EVERYTHING IS INTACT...
Finally, after some time of figuring, experimenting and exploring, I would say that this site is finally operational with all the functionalities that I would want for my works and such. As mentioned earlier, this site is set up mainly for me to share music and works with other enthusiasts who share the same interest as me.
It had always been an interest of mine to share with people regarding music and singing. Hopefully, with the establishment of pandarism.blogspot, this would not be too difficult to fulfil.
Once again, I would hope that the readers would not wait too long for updates this time.
DREAMIN ABOUT LAKEWOOD...
Whenever I pass by Excelsior, I just could not help it but take a glance at the Guitars on display in Living Strings. Not only does the guitars look like beauties at work, the layout of the whole place simply enhances the beauty in it and definitely make the guitars look so classy. The whole interior set-up in Living Strings is very different from most Guitar Shops as the guitar are being placed on Shelves rather than on a rack, making them look like Art Pieces on display. The set-up in the room is very well done and it definitely bring out the Acoustics in these High-End guitars.
One particular brand in which captured my attention would be Lakewood, a High End German guitar. The finish of the guitar is beautiful. Not only does it maintains the wood's look and feel, the robustness and durability of the Guitar is not compromised. I do not thing there are many Guitars in this world who can compete with Lakewood in terms of its Natural Finishing on the Guitar.
When I picked up one of them and start playing with it, I am definitely blown off by the power of the guitar. Every pluck and every strum is so highly responsive that I felt as though I am a seasoned professional player. Even the simplest tune on earth would sound like music from Heaven when played through this guitar. Although the price tags along with them are hefty, I would definitely wish to own one in the near future.
Tim is such a friendly guy who did not put off with the fact that I am not able to buy one. He explained to me in such great detail about the history of the Guitars and how each guitar shape would suit different style of guitar-playing. It is truely an Eye-Opener. In addition to that, he has such a wonderful plan in which allows us to take orders for Customizing through him and I guess it would be alot cheaper that way. One interesting customization would be that it allows us to place our Signature on the guitar fret. It is simply awesome!
For now, I can only dream about them. Ha! Definitely but surely, I would want to own one and the acquisition of a High End Lakewood would be in my agenda within the year or two. This is to be included in my Annual Budget. It is to be all about dreaming for now...
A COOL NIGHT WALK...
The day was pretty harsh and busy with all the work and school packed up during the day and evening. I could only give myself an end of the day at about 10pm where the lesson ends. Met Glenda during the night to enjoy a simple supper and a long walk down Thomson Road. The walk is pretty refreshing and enjoyable, mainly due to the tranquility and coolness of the night. Also, it allows me to bring myself to peace after such a long hectic day.
Thanks Girl, for the time spent. Although I may be feeling sleepy, it is always assuring to have you around. You are the difference...
RESOLUTIONS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE...
It is not the start of a new year but then I guess there is no rule which says that resolutions should be defined at the start of the year. After a slow start into my new and final Academic Year, I guess there is a need for me to set the focus right for the year and plan things ahead. For now, the main objectives for this period will be:-
- No more skipping of lessons and priority is to be give to School Work!
- Fill More Guitar scores for more songs and reach a higher level in doing so...
- Go for Dragon Boat training without the risk of injuring myself or my thumb...
- One last try on the Stupid Driving Test which never fails to add disappointments to my life
- Find something cool to do about my Project for my final year
- Lose weight and lose more weight...
Well, I guess that will be it for now. No point listing out a long chunk where there is no time nor effort to improve on them. Well, time to go for school after a tiring day of work in Orchard. I really do not like it here. Everything is so expensive and I feel like I am being chopped like a Tourist...
A Post from a very long time...
It takes a long time for me to write something in this post. Well, that is mainly because there is nothing much for me to write about these days and mainly because there is nothing much for me to write about. Well, after a long itch, I guess I will go on to add more entries and possibly, some music works would come in the way.
More to come I suppose, I guess this is going to be a PROMISE I make to myself. See you guys around...
