Haha, finally I've time to blog! Man, I'm so damn bored this past few weeks. Time seems to past by slowly, and I'm starting to feel very rotten at home. REALLY ROTTEN! Guess I've got to learn how to survive this "rotten" world of my own myself, coz guys dun usually rot at home. Maybe I'll go follow my mum for Quran classes again, hehe...
Anyway, today I just recall what I've done this past few days of this week( haiz...). I've finally send my enrolment package to the school! Man, you guys dun wanna noe how hard it is for me to get that money for my school fee, especially when using my mak's cpf account for the CPF Scheme payment. I nearly had a rotten argument with my ayah, maklumlah hal duit selalu menjadi penyebab masalah rumah tangga. Money was always a major concern for my family, and I'm starting school next month. Somehow, I dun feel like I'm prepared for it. Insyallah, maybe I'll find a part-time weekend job so that I can support myself, rather than "begging" my ayah for money...
And there was my abang-tak-leh-angkat, Zul who had long started his course in school. He finally decided to go to Republic Poly, instead of Temasek. I think he was able to fnd a solution to his "must-have" laptop policy in school. Guess I'm gonna miss him, and so does he. Hehe, and he told me all those wonderful things he had in his new school, each time he had lunch break he would not miss a phone call to me. I dunnoe lah, maybe coz I'm just a good "brother" to him. I even remembered the last time you had a chat with me...
"Yat, I salute you. For being a great brother to your family. You never complain about how troublesome your little sister is to you( the last time she had fever...). And you're a great listener, someone who is willing to hear a friends problem..."
And I nearly cried when you told me that bro! Seriously, some might even say I got so "kembang" when he told me that. But I now realised how a friend appreciate me for who I am. Insyallah, ku kan menjadi sahabat setia mu. Hopefully too, we'll get to see each other again...
Anyway, maybe I'll just stop here. I just dun seem to be able to continue anymore. There's this other thing that I'm just too afraid to spill out in my blog. Lets say its between two person, my past lover and present one. Ku tidak kesampaian untuk melepaskan salah satu dari kamu berdua, they're the only ones whom I cared the most. Ya Tuhan, give me strength to go through this, hopefully I dun have to feel so guilty about it. Till then, May God bless all of you, Wassallam.

Haiz, guess I've been too tired to blog this past few days. Watching the UEFA champions league in the middle of the "night" for two consecutive days sure makes me damn sleepy right now. Guess what, Liverpool is goin into the semi-finals! Haha, Juventus lost 2-1 to them, finally.I'm damn happy when that final whistle went, and my I was ecstatic even though I was so tired that very night. But I think this year its either gonna be Chelsea or Milan who's taking the Cup. But who knows, Liverpool might be the underdogs this year, haha!Anyway, I think I'll type in some entry at least for all those frequent bloggers out there...
So, today I went to my ex-school's Speech day cum Jubilation night. And its also the opening of our new Heritage Hub or watever they call it. But the whole performance for the day was just ok lah, not too good, not too bad, just ok. Expected lah. Yeah, and the new heritage corner, its a little bit too "fancy" lah, although to tell you the truth, the previous one we had in our school was better. Seriously man, rather than they improvised this corner, why not make air-conditioned hall instead? Dumb right this school, well lucky I graduated from it in one piece...
And also, I went there becoz me and my abang-tak-boleh-angkat, Zul, had no plans after we had our Friday prayers. So we were like "free" on that day, and decided to why not visit the school at least for on last time ( which obviously, will never be a last time...). So, I meet a lot of my juniors there, and I'm so flattered that at least they still remembered me.Whatever. Although I can really see them "growing" up, and also their brain is going "adolescent" too. What crap...
Guess I'll stop here, me so tired rite now. Not in the mood, coz I've just cleared something with my dear. And I still have'nt send my enrolment package! Argh, watever it is, I MUST submit it latest by Monday. I better be, coz later things gonna be a little less complicated. I think, it WILL be complicated(haha, siok sendiri...). Whatever lah, just submit it latest by Monday and i should be fine. Till then, May God bless all of you, Wassallam.

Ok, I'm gonna write an entry of wat I did todae instead lah, since its a long time I did'nt type those kind of things this past few days. Man, i feel so pissed off man, especially when my friend Edmund Kee got so mad at me this morning becoz I did'nt got out of my house around 9 am just to be at his place and meet him for our "photo-taking" session! Yet, I compromised and told him that we dun have to take our breakfast then, and I took the blame coz simply he did'nt replied my call and I assumed that he was still asleep! Becoz I can't stand seeing my friends blaming me becoz of something that I did'nt actually quite think i did wrong in the first place.Argh! Forget it lah...
We(Me, Edmund and Saiful...) were suppose to go for our medical examinations today. So we planned on goin to Jurong Point's GJ clinic. And I actually wanted to see whether my dear is goin fo her check-up at Batok too.(coz I purposely walked passed her clinic just to see whether she's goin for her check-up...) Turns out, she does! Haha, kinda relieve lah actually. Anyway, continueing on...
I also met my tutor, Velda Koo at the bus-stop! Haha, then I even ask her for my ex's number too( that later I'll tell you lah...). How come she's starting school at the 24th of April, while me still gotta wait till 30th May! Argh, not fair man! Watever lah, next...
Ok, then I and Edmund Kee had to make Saiful wait for us infront of the clinic first, so sorry bro! Hehe, anyway when we reach there and saw this whole bunch of "candidates" waiting outside the clinic, we were so devastated man. And the clinic staff even told us to wait for a long time for our check-up, and we got plenty of time to eat our breakfast at KFC too. Ok, so we waited for the doctor for more than three hours, and it turns out the X-ray only took seconds to complete! What the hell? I'm pissed off by then, but its ok at least we still got to finish our medical report on that day itself....
After that, went to play pool with Saiful, while Edmund kee got to go back school and be an "extra" there. Hehe, me and Saiful played three games for an hour only! My God, I tell you, Pool factor at Bukit Timah sure sucks man, I hated the table to the core! Ok fine, at least its cheap, around $4.8 per hour...
I even chatted with my so called Ex through massages. Guess we're still like before, cheery and fun-loving. But dun get me wrong, I've gone over her, becoz I've finally found someone I've cared even more.Well, i think I still got what we were talking about...
Me:I understood you well, I noe you had family problems. Truthfully, I did once tried helping you, and considered you my best friend. But that was'nt the main reason why I finally had to let you go...
Her:Main reason? Ya I'm not up to your expectation rite?Haha, I've known this all along...
Me: Its not that, I did love you before, but the only thing was becoz you did'nt even understand my feelings. Unlike Amirah, she understood me very well...
Her:Ok...good that you finally got that perfect girl rite? Anyway, congratulations.
Me: But that does'nt mean I'll forget about you. I dunnoe, I mean I still prayed that your family will be finally be happy, insyallah...
Her:Hmmm, thanks lah.
And now, I asked her whether she can go for the outing with the Frinks! Haha, can she guys?...
...Tak pernah ku kesal, memilih diri mu. Walaupun ku diamkan diri, ku tetap mengambil berat tentang dirimu. Sebagai kekasih mu, layak aku bertanya. Adakah salah ku jika ku membuat demikian? Namun ku masih tetap kan menyanyangi mu...
Till then, May God Bless you, Wassallam.

Yes, my internet is finally working! I can blog once again, hehe u guys got miss me or not? Of course not lah, even though its been like five days I've been away, I'm not missed. Right? Haha, I don't have to say, its already clear man...
Anyway, what have I done this whole week? I think I've spent a lot on unnecessary stuff. Hehe, I almost spend my money on arcade man this week, like totally! Should have been a little more thrifty, and I could have used it to pay for my stupid ez-link card. Whatever lah, whats done is done, just leave it alone and don't regret it lah...
And I've finally gotten my enrolment package for my polytechnic course! Haha, yeah and I've been waiting for weeks lorh, and impatient all this while. Turn out mines gonna start on late May! Argh, why is it so long, kena lah tunggu lagi sebulan. Haiz, no fair man...
I've got nothing to add anymore, think I'm pretty tired this days. Not sure why, could be that I've been sleeping late for the champions league. And I'm rooting for Liverpool! Haha, I want to see Juventus fall, avenge them Reds, they defeated the Galacticos, urgh...And I think its either Chelsea or AC Milan who's gonna grab the Champions League Cup this year. But hopefully it'll be liverpool lah.Next Wednesday and Thursday morning respectively will be the second leg, of the Champions league, I'll never miss it...
Till then, May God bless you, Wassallam.

Well, heard that right! For today's entry I'm gonna share five useful tips just how you could improve in your singing. This is to ensure that you have your maximum vocal range on hand before or after singing and potentially ready for an upcoming performance. However, different people have other ways that may not be similar to mine, coz this is what I've been through and did in the process. So, I'm just sharing my experience and knowledge to everyone of you, just in case you're wondering. Anyway, let's get started, shall we?
1- Start getting the basics right first! Its good you have a good posture in singing. Good posture means having an upright and straight neck so that breathing is a breeze for you when you're singing. Remember, try making a habit of getting an upright posture. Coz, practice does'nt actually makes perfect, but PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT. By having an upright posture too, your vocal chords does'nt strain and tensed a lot. However, try to prevent having a goose-neck( when you stick out your neck, duh...) while singing, its really a bad habit.
2- Exercising your vocal muscles before singing is a good warm-up to prevent neck strain and difficulty in reaching higher notes is a must for each vocalist. To do so, have a habit by doing warm-ups every morning or maybe each time you wanna sing through proper "breathing" and musical "vowels" like a, e, o , i and u. You could also do that Do, Re, Mi thingy you learn during kindergarten if you want to.For that, I think you better learn it through refering to vocal training tapes or CDS lah, I can't possibly tell you the whole process here rite? By doing all these, it enables your vocal muscles to expand, thus enabling you to breathe easily and at the same sing...
3- Try not to mock other vocalists or singers voice! Instead, use your own vocal range and tone, that way you could reach to your fullest singing potential and vocal range. Know your own vocal type, for example tenors, basses, sopranos , etc. By doing so, u will know your maximum and minimum vocal range, as well as singing only through your own vocal range. If you think a certain tune is to high, its always good to fall back and reach a lower note than it so that you won't get that usually out-of-tune scenario. One thing, shouting is NOT equivilant to ranging! Shouting will most probably spoil your vocal chords even more, SO DON'T EVEN THINK OF DOING IT!!!
4- Being a vocalists does'nt always mean you have to sing all the time. Its good you do a lot of researching and writing. About what? Well, musical notes of course. You see, its best you get and jot down all the musical notes of a particular song you would most likely sing.BUT ONLY THE VOCAL PART ALRIGHT. Its just like playing a musical instrument, except that you not only refer to the lyrics, but also the vocal notes of the song. That way, you'll be hundred percent sure that you won't be out of tune. Also, use your own idea and method to how you are goin to place all those notes you have jotted down before and "link" them when there's a sudden "swing" or "change" in tune. Dunnoe how to describe them lah( since i dun really study much about musical keys and all those crap lah...). It gives you a clearer picture of how the flow of your vocal notes might sound and go about with the music. I think so lah, my descriptive writing sucks man, hehe...
5- Last but not least. Give your neck muscle a massage each time you finish singing. By doing so, your neck muscles will relaxed and not get too tensed up after your performance or singing. Drink lots and lots of plain water, dunnoe why lah, maybe makes your throat more soother lah. Hehe, some say drinking a lot of honey or lemon juice can also makes your throat more "smooth". And try to maintain a healthy lifestyle through jogging and doin sports so that you dun feel breathless during singing. It also makes you mentally fit and focused, which you will require the most for you performance. Being focused is key to not getting out of tune too lah...
Well that's all, hopefully all of ya got the idea of how I manage myself being a vocalist. Even though now I hardly ever perform on stage, I still practise my vocal chromatics. Dunnoe why lah, I think its the passion that drives me. You can follow all these basic five tips of mine if you liked to or prefer to sing "part-time". Though now I enjoy songwriting(even though I did'nt got into the music and audio technology course...), I do it as a hobby. Hopefully, I can continue doin so until it becomes a career lah. Till then, May God bless you, Wassallam.

Hey, its the first day of April! So what? Did'nt do anything "fool-ish" todae. Guess I'm just too tired to do all those. Well, coz I slept late last nite, chat with someone on msn till 4 am in the morning. But dun get me wrong, she's an old friend of mine, the infamous and crazy girl, Jia Hui! She's still that silly girl I use to meet in school back then. Chatting with her sure makes me feel so rindu towards school life. Though, we had already graduated, its those memories and experience we had during our school life that's so cherishable. Its not about the school we missed, but the teachers and students who meant so much to me. We talked a lot of "crap" lah. Guess what? Our friend Jia Hui already had a boyfriend you know! Haha, of course at the same time I had to tell mine too. BUT I DID"NT TELL HER WHO SHE WAS...she guess it on her own. Haiz, what can I say? Anyway, then we joked and she gave me all this silly lovey dovey words like trust and relationships. I can't believe its her saying all those, to think that she's not that kind of girl who's considered "ladylike".Hehe, at least she's not that sensitive...
Up till now, this RCY( Raffles courtyard) still have'nt called my cell phone. And I'm so freakin tired waiting for their call, and also finding another job. Its like I've been jinxed for life. Urgh! Its ok, there's always lots of job oppurtunity out there that still needs recruitment.Think positive Yat!Hehe...but I'm just waiting for my abang-tak-leh-angkat nye job vacancy, I had to wait till Monday to confirm whether they still need employers. To think that they're short-handed, might as well they took me in too right, rather than employing Zul first. So unfair man...
Well, if I still can't get another job, guess I just sit at home and take care of my little sister instead. Since school's gonna start soon, why not I take this oppurtunity to stay at home and spend more time with my family. And I need to shop for my poly "apparels"! Me and Zul planning to go to Johore to shop at either Angsana or Kota Raya. Hehe, guess you guys dunnoe where they are rite? Nevermind, but I REPEAT, I'm no Mat Malaysia ok!Hehe...
"...Sayang, bukannya sehari dua
Percintaan kita ini, janji pun sudah dipatri
Sayang, jangan ikut perasaan
Marah jangan disimpan, ku hanya ingin menduga
Dan kini,
Aku tahu satu kekasih mu, hanya aku..."
Till then, May God Bless You, Wassallam.
