Like I had promise you earlier on, today will be one of those good entries that I'll be posting. Its almost the New Year and not to mention Hari Raya Haji is here. So you can possibly say that today is somewhat a very special and blessed day...

Ok, so to the topic that I've wanted to save up for today is the fact that I've to admit, 2006 has become a very integral, if not important year for me. There were somehow few ups and downs here and there but it has however, totally changed me as a person totally. Ok not to the point where physical looks are concerned, but it does so in a way changed me emotionally and mentally. And I took it as a lesson to learn and lived through it, everyday. There were the good old times that I've treasured and bad times that I would loved to forget. But thats part of living and you gotta take it as an equivalent trade of life. Where the good has always the bad, and behind those bad there's always the good. Whatever. But those few rounds of event did in a way, gave me a very good memorable impact on my life and those bad days too. And it acts as a good momento, so that I'll remember them for the rest of my life.

Continuing on, 2006 was also the year where I've been spending a hella lota great time with my fellow polymates, not to mention a great deal of people who were very special to me. So I've made few very good and important friends, and I've to say I had very two great ones, Darren and Rachel.

I got to know THIS Darren during the Bandzout Auditions, and soon after that we became pretty close. We're like opposites, strangely indeed. Like he loves rock n' roll, I love metal. He's a die-hard Manchester United fan, but I'm a faithful Anfield supporter. But our friendship's like currypuff(I did'nt know how I was able to come up with it) but the fact that it's a very good combination to begin. I can honestly say that, if one day, if I were to see him working at his uncle's at CA, if he were to tell me this,

"Yo Yat(lan lah), today(surprisingly) the prices have gone up(maybe some GST hike or something) up to 50%. Is it still ok for you because I can make special reservation for you since you're my friend..."

I would still accept it and just tell him,

"Nah, no worries dude. For a friend, I'll pay for it. Even if you ask me to buy the most expensive brownies with those 50% hikes I would still buy it man!(trying to be sarcastic)"

And he did however, without any remorse,

"OK then, actually I wanted you try this new menu that just came out this month. Its kinda pricey but I tell you won't regret it..."

Asshole.

Ok whatever. so anyway, thats how special he is to me. And then there was Rachel. I can't remember when exactly did I get to know this girl, but I think it was the Youth Gone Wild experience. Yeah, after that we got pretty close too. There's so many special things about her that I can tell you guys, but simply put it she can be someone that every person(either a friend or just someone else) would not regret having. I can truly say she's someone whom I've never regretted getting to know with and that I appreciate everything she had given to me as a friend .She's this bubbly spirited girl, erm and then aspiring too, ok lah for me that is. Coz she is probably, a few very good people who has the heart and desire to run a live gig even if all odds are against her. Now is that something special or what?

Alright, and then there were people like Arthur, Luie, Rui Qi and Yu Qi too who were people that I truly appreciate for all those good times and friendship you guys have given me and that I've always missed you guys lots. Finally, the Firebrands and Renegades experience where I met pretty much interesting people. I can name a list of em' because they're all great but I'm all lazy now though I can honestly say that these people are the most awesome bunch of all. I'm truly grateful to actually got to meet you guys and that I'm proud to say that being a Renegade Rocks!

But the most and important thing that ever happen this year, is the fact that I've took up guitaring as a long term interest. It is by far the best years to finally pick up guitar(professionally) and its never too late to start at the age of 18. Godwilling, I could want day play in front of a full house crowd, and hear the screams of all my crazy die-hard fans, and there I stood, with a Gibson Les Paul at hand(and a black beauty custom one), with my crazy Boss Metal Zone pedal as my effect screamer(I finally got one!), punch in one of the most, I daresay truly the greatest solos of all time(and not stairway in heaven mind you). And so I did a few licks of arpeggios, scales that go on a high with all those alternate picking, and not to mention, 100% sweep picking clean playing and bends that sound like cries of pain, joy and sadness all in one. The solo was probably something that tells a story about my life, passion and mementos all in one.Finally, the fans wailed out loud and gave a truly dedicated clapped, an encore. I'm happy, thats the best feeling that I'll want to have, and that day will come I tell you. Someday.

So that sums everything that I've to say on this entry. Its a long one too, and all I have to say to you people now is...

Happy Fucking New Year People!

Wassallam.
