The Dawn Will Have It's Burn

I wanna try something other than the usual Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. So i got another from Tony Bennett.Let the music load.


Not the last, Merry Christmas. and woah...December has been busy and and the last post was around three weeks back on kerachut. After the sweet November, December just exploded onto life.and shit this suppose to be a 5am Christmas Eve or it's kiss of dawn post but i left the computer on hanging waiting for me, while i fly in my dream. I'm slowly turning nocturnal and this will really take its toll on me when school reopens.games are big time losers, taking shit out of my time, the fun part is playing with friends only.DotA...bluek.I'll rather play guitar really.

After this period of absence, i wanna write all out about my December activities but shit...i read Jared's post first, and i felt it will be lame to write another covering the same events. So go see Jared's. Basically I'm in all the activities except the pool days.I'm gonna talk bout the few recent ones and yeah i would love to talk about roti racist/mini at Argyll Road but....i'm feeling salty T_T So okay, come back. The latest gig with Jared and Wheen is Pessoc's Concert on the 23rd of December. Sponsored and exclusively for Texchem ppl...thanks to Jared's mum we got the invitation cards. they were playing Beethoven's famous No.9, the one with Ode To Joy. I'll say it's good, but I'm a noob in classical music...this is the first time I heard No.9 live with full fledged choir and voices. And i just like the way Malmsteen-Shimano conduct...yeah!he pumps up the crowd with his movements. And I look into the crowd...most people doesnt know the first two movements and they look bored, the dude beside me was sleeping.sigh. quite a few ppl i know were up there. A few band seniors were playing for the orchestra.Adelyn the violinist.some school fellows in the chorus...wth.Andrew Filmer headbanging violin.some USM ppl too. Saw a group of USM Jazz Band ppl after the show....prolly they had some friends onstage.Funny how i realise I'll be upstage with them on the 30th.hah.

As mention this was supposed to be the Eve post, so i'm gonna rip. the Christmas Eve night was spent in front of my computer desk.I'll start from 8 pm.i had a game of DotA with Jonathan...killed him in his fountain...ahh.Imba feeling.then he gotta go church for the Christmas mass. so i went get some winks on my bed, woke up at 9.30pm.when to my computer, which is by the window.the church in front of my house is beaming and the bells are tolling, I assume Jonathan to be in there. Heaven's Bell. was planning to go out and have supper but the roads are tight shit jammed. So i decided to have myself a merry little christmas at home.
I got myself Campbell soup, ribena and some Pringles. bring all of them to my desktop. and the atmostphere just highten up. everybody is busy in Garena.the church is singing mellowly. and my comp played Buckethead's Electric Tears album. Padmasana was the highlight.ooh...


Self made Ribena, Campbell Soup and Pringles


And once i was taught by someone to eat Campbell soup straight from the can. and yeah. I tried a few. and i tell ya what...it will taste better and more warmy if you heat up the can first.= ] so put it in an oven first or what.

And so I had myself a merry little Christmas.

And yeah..the next on my to do list will be

- 'Jazz Band Plays Medley' concert on the 30th. gonna have fun with the university people
- G3 footage at wheen's. plus Siren 'to be continued...'
- maybe kerachut again
- Bio folio crap
- maybe I'll try pool day at Jared's

A tribute to Hide, the passed guitarist of X-Japan. connected for Jared's post.the guitar pick given to me by Wheen 6 months ago.

love me.suck me.lick me.spank me

Hideto Matsumoto


for once in my life I'll get dreadlocks. watch out.


Merry Christmas buddies = ]

Marrow Of The Forest and The Kerachut Riders

The jungle trip proved to hold the truth.An initial fun or for me a trip for the heart, turn out to be mixed with some survival elements.should it be or shouldn't it be this way, i enjoyed the rush and adrenaline in it.I'll speak less and let the pics speak more.
The first day went through some twist of fate.the personnel alongside me are Edward Lee and Hong Chia Haw.kinda wierd because being the unsociable shadow of me, I'm camping with two dudes that i talk less than 5 minutes for over 5 years of secondary school.You guys, cheers and be cool,yeah.
the initial starting rendezvous time is at 12 pm.but due to some delay to buy stuffs and the long journey to Teluk Bahang, we ended up starting the hike at 5 pm.yeah a hill hike to Kerachut at 5 pm with loads suiting 6 persons carried by 3.i know its gonna be crappy to start hiking, but never the lest we continued.hah.The darkness shift over the light at around 7.30 and we were only halfway at the second shelter.So three of us decided and insane decision : overnight in the middle of the jungle.this is seriously the contigency plan...we took some effort to start a fire in the clearing.it's actually illegal to start a fire because its a taman negara but we did anyway or else we're gonna in pitch black and we've gotta barbecue something to eat.seriously almost backwoodsman style..and thus we we overnighted in the middle of the jungle.and worse of all, the pitch black darkness started to have its toll on my mind.i see things, flickers of light in the forest.and i see glowing trees and plants, what the hell,some mind games.immediately thought that someone is flashing light.really crappy darkness.Revelation = I'm afraid of the darkness, ghost, vampire and such.

a night in the jungle, thats the part i like the most about this trip.it felt really original anyway.and so we continue our hike the morning after.the heavy burden of my loads really didn't help either.I carried two full bags, a guitar and an ice box...the shoulders really felt like its at the edge of collapsing.fuh.we reached Kerachut after a 15 hour journey including the jungle night...fux yeah.And so we set up our camp site in an isolated part of the place but later on we were ask to move over to the designated camp site.ish have to pindah summore after our tiring trip through the jungle.and the trip moved on...we even decided to extend another day making it a 4 days and 3 nights camp.


the fateful axe by the entrance



all the back and shoulder breakers that dragged us into the dark

firing up a slow burn

entertainment in the dark jungle

the darkness is really intriguing

candle, chor tai ti and mamee

the light, mosquito coil and shoes( if can see)

finally the bridge to salvation after 15 hours

the tent, didnt spend too much time in there though


campbell soup cans torn open by insatiable hunger


to the dock, spend more time with the wild and open

A jellyfish seen in the water


some kind of sea level machine


bridgeway to paradise


shall be done again.another day


And so shall the trip be kept in the memoirs of the man himself.Jungle really shows the truth.More of it to come into the sanctum.
