Krank Distortion Pedal

My first wish list in 2006. Since I can't afford to get the Krank head, getting the distortion may get me close to the sound I like from Haste The Day, As I lay Dying and Finch have.

Killswitch Engage

I can't believe that I never listened to them before. Last night I went on the roadrunner.com and man, this band is @#$%! I love them man! So guys, check them out at killswitchengage.com if you are into heavy music like I do!

506

Moved my Marshall Stack, guitar and some effects back to 506 bandroom. It's been a long time I haven't been to 506. Now that my ex band Zao Yao is done. The drummer and bassist and I will form a new group. The other guitarist will move on with his own stuffs. I think this time the new band is going to be heavier! Can't wait to get together to jam. Oh yeah, still need to find one more guitarist and probably a vocal. Let's see what's going on!

Wild Day Out

Went to see Wild Day Out with friends. The stage was cool. This is the first time I saw WDO and I never thought there were that many people. Here are couple photos my friend Poohbi took. They are the 2 cross-over sets.

周國賢 x 張繼聰 x Go Glory

伍佰 x 黃家強 x 范曉萱 x 恭碩良

I Am So Tire

Finally I get to sit down and write something. These past days I worked like a dog. I got my brain and body tired. For the last 3, 4 days I didn't sleep much. Right now I can't really tell you about the project despite I may have spoken it out to some of you. Anyway, this project is BIG! Well, for the people in HK, you guys will see it in Jan 1st. For the people who don't know about this project. I can tell you guys a bit. I have designed a big billboard for a famous composer who will open up a music school soon. The billboard is located in Causeway Bay.

Well that's all I can say for now! Later on I will post my work up. Oh yeah, I will go to the site to take some photos so that you guys will get to see it. Anyway this is going to be a good portfolio for me and of course the network from the clients.

So this is probably the only x'mas time that I have worked in my whole life. Even though it's tiring but seriously for some reason, I quite enjoy it! I think one of the reasons is that I get to do something I like! I just hope that I will still find time to play music with my new band.

One last thing, I finally bought myself the MXR KFK EQ pedal and the Boss Noise Suppressor. I can't wait to use them to create some monster heavy guitar sounds!

Peace.

More WTO

路透香港電---數以百計的抗議者周六試圖闖入世界貿易組織(WTO)部長級會議舉辦地,與香港警方爆發的衝突愈演愈烈。

一名路透記者稱,可以看到煙霧從會展中心附近區域升起,警方已開始使用催淚瓦斯。抗議者向戒備森嚴的警方防線發起衝擊,闖過了第一道防線,防暴警察則使用胡椒粉噴霧器、警棍和消防水龍頭全力阻擋。目擊者稱,已有20多名抗議者在胡椒粉噴霧中受傷;香港電台報導,至少一名警察受傷。許多抗議者是激烈反對開放本國稻米市場的韓國農民。數以千計的反全球化示威者當日下午稍早先上街和平遊行,呼喊著打倒WTO的口號,抗議本次貿易談判。但隨著抗議人群越聚越多,他們開始衝擊警察防線,示威行動隨之升級。

This whole WTO issue is pretty FxxKED UP now!!! I don't think it's right for the protestor to take extreme action such as throwing stuffs to the police or trying to hurt anyone. Absolutely wrong!

Now what will you do if you are the Korean farmer? I want to hear people givng out suggestions because I have never heard anyone telling me what they can do instead.

Air Guitar

Last Saturday afternoon my friend Rico Kowk called me to help him for the 新城勁爆新人巡禮 at HKTEC. Well, I helped him and guess what I did? I was playing the air guitar on the stage. The guitar was plugged but actually it didn't have the sound. It was MMO during his set. Well, I was a good ACTOR as I moved around with the guitar pretending I was having so much fun playing it. Gosh, I won't do something like this again, though I enjoyed the time in the back stage because there were lots of pretty new singers there.

Poor Muizi

Today mom and I brought Muizi to see the doctor as Muizi was limping last night. The doctor told us that Muizi's right leg has some problems which will be better to have surgery as she's young so she will get recovered better and faster! Poor Muizi already had done the surgery with her left leg and now it's her right leg. I hope this little baby can won't have to suffer again :(

First Art Direction for Editorial


This one is a memeorable one because I had spent so much time working on this job. I stayed at the studido for 2 overnights to work on this but still, I missed the deadline, gosh!!! This is an editorial which will be on next month's Talkies Magazine. This editorial features some expensive watches from Jaeger LeCoultre. Here I attached the better ones plus an original photo.

Making of Osim New Ad: Sonia Kwok


Now that the ad has come out, so I can post some photos taken from the day we shot the photos from our studio, October 21.

Magic Johnson

Found a photo of Magic Johnson from SI.com. He's one of my favorite basketball players beside Isiah Thomas! These two are my basketball heroes when I grew up playing ball. My last basketball game was in Feburary that when I torn my archilies tendon. I wonder if I will play basketball again!

Paul's Photos by Riki


This is my favorite photo from Riki's album!

Sunday, November 13, 2005

Riki, Matt, Kit and I at Mong Kok

So after the dinner at Ngau Tau Kok, Riki, Matt and I went to Mong Kok to meet Kit for some drinks. We went to Levitation which is at the corner of "Women Street". We didn't get the better sofa so that sucked! Anyway, we ordered some tea and it was ok. Not as good as the other cafe (Union at CWB, right across UCC and McDonald on Leighton Rd) I went with Cherrie the other nite. Anyway, we played some jenga and we did some crazy set up. Took couple photos to show you guys!

Paul Wong 903 id club Show

After the Qiu Hong set, I went to HITEC at Kowloon Bay for Paul's show. Since I was told we got 2 more tickets, I called up some friends and see if anyone wanted to go. At last I found Ben and his guitar student. The show is free standing but since I got the tickets from a friend at 903, we got to go into the VIP/media section which is the most front in the venue. It was good to see Paul again. The lineup last night was Paul, Ah Yin, Jimmy, Jun and Yung Chai. Ah Yin was so loose last night that he even did a little dance, of course he was awesome as usual! After the show I met a new friend called Birdy who I happened to see before during last year's Beyond final show at the backstage. I told him I saw him and we started to talk. He seems a cool guy and he gave me a name card and he actually put up a photo exhibition in July. The exhibition is called "Rock fan's diary". So I asked him to have dinner with our friends. We had a very good dinner at some Vietnamese restaurant in Ngau Tau Kok.

Qiu Hong, Rockit, Victoria Park


Right after work on Saturday afternoon, I went to Victoria Park to meet Qiu Hong those guys to help them out as roadie. Gene and Danny (my ex-bandmates) were there to help out as well. It's my first time to be in Rockit and I thought it's pretty cool because it has a pretty nice stage. I think the sound system is good as well. It was good to see some friends during the show! Black Chai, KS and other friends also went there to support. When Qiu Hong did their set, the audience went crazy and at the last song, Jan jumped down to the ground and sang to the crowd. Overall the atmosphere was awesome.

Muizi's Birthday!


Muizi and Icy (left) at Pet Petrazzi. Fanny, C Fu, mom, sis and I celebrated Muizi and Icy's birthday at this nice 2nd floor cafe for dogs. They were so happy to play with other dogs as well. Last year Muizi and Icy got to celebrate with 3 other bros, sis and their parents.


At night, my family and I went to some restaurants near home. Some people called that the Eastern Soho. Anyway, there are many many dogs in that area. Muizi got to play with them a bit. Though some dog owner didn't like Muizi because Muizi was a bit hyper at times. BUT, Muizi is actually a very nice and friendly dog. She hardly barks and she just loves to play. Anyway, I found some people quite annoying cos they would say shit about other people's dogs. Oh well, stupid people everywhere!

Brought Henry and Beverly to my church (Shaukiwan Baptist Church 筲箕灣浸信會) at noon for the worship! The sermon was a very good one it really burns our heart! It gives up something to believe when you are going in the front trying to spread the gospel! If you are interested to listen to the sermon, go here

First Time at KLC's Bandroom

Last night went to KLC's band room to jam with Hang and Ting. Chloe was there too! Trigger didn't come because she went to practise with 5D. Anyway, for all of you who don't know about them. They are my new bandmates and we are starting a new hardcore band. Actually it wasn't really jamming last night, more like practising with Ting as he hasn't played the drum a long time. Also there was no bass amp at the moment so Hang was just fooling with the guitar. For me I was using the Peavey 5150 and the ESP guitar (both by KLC's Andy). The Peavey head is wicked and I like the sound alot! With the ESP the sound is brutal!

Poor Dogs!


What the f**K!!! Why would people do this so unhumanly act? Damn it! All I can say we have alot of stupid MFs in this world.

Taxi Driver Ken

So after the wedding, I took a taxi with Uncle Jim and Auntie Jim. On the road we talked a bit and the driver also joined us a bit. So after getting uncle and auntie home, the driver drove me to my home. The driver and I talked a bit about life in general. I told him we were from a wedding banquet. The driver asked me have I got married, I told him I don't even have a gf. (Hey girls, take notes! hehee...) Anyway, he told me that he's married but divorced, though he has a daughter. I told him if his daughter is living with him, the driver said no and he started telling me his story. He told me that his ex-wife would not allow their child to see him. He said that back then they were rich and they earned good money, however the driver then told me few years ago he didn't make as much, but his ex-wife still spent alot and at last they got divorced. He said he didn't understand why people are always crazy for money. Anyway, I guess no one knows! I then told him about my belief and how I talk and pray to God. Guess what, he told me he's a Christian too! He told me because he was bad (illegal car race) before and his background couldn't win him his daugther when they got divorced. He told me he's so afriad that his daughter will soon forget him. I encouraged him to pray more and I shared him with my own story. The story is about Henry prayed for me for six years and how I finally turn to a Christian. We traded business card. After shaking his hand, all off a sudden I wanted to pray for him, so I held his hand and we did a prayer in the car. We prayed for him and his daughter.

I don't know what's going on in the future, but I know that if we have faith in our God, one day we will know the answer! I also believe that God will provide us the best we could never imagine! ADD OIL Ken!

Mr. and Mrs. Jim




Congratulation to Henry and Beverly!

One of my best friends Henry got married in Toronto couple weeks ago! I was asked to be his best man for the banquet tonight! The hotel was very nice and classy! As for the food, I didn't really have the time to taste them because I needed to be one of the MCs as well. Tsui was the main MC and he was awesome! I thought I wasn't that good because it's hard for me to be serious when talking in front of people. So I guess I can manage to be a MC in some rock show but not really a wedding banquet. Anyway, it's so great to see them getting married! I have witnessed their relationship as well as their love under God's guide. What so amazing about their relationship was that there was a time that they were seperated because Henry went to Vancouver to study his master degree. You know it's so hard to maintain the relationship when the two were not together. Beside they had a good foundation, I truly believe that it was God who makes this marriage happens!

My New Job

It's been a week I haven't updated my blog! Why? Because I was so busy with my new job. I started on last Monday 17th. I don't have a regular work hour like most people do because this is a production studio; therefore when we have work coming in, we just have to finish it before deadline. Oh yeah, the deadline is always very tight! My first 2 days I left work at 1am and 11:45pm. It was because we had 2 jobs at the same day! Crazy!!! Though my average work hour is like 12, 13 a day! Just that I don't need to go to the studio that early. If there is no photo shoot in the morning, usually I get to the studio around 10:30am. As for the number of working days, I can tell you that there is nothing called "days of work" Like today (Sunday) and yesterday I went to work from the morning to 6ish because we had a photo shoot on Sunday's morning.

Overall this is a challenging job with alot of stuffs to learn! Like I won't get to do the same thing over and over. I need to know alot of different stuffs from creative aspect to production. Somehow I feel stressed because I never worked this long hour before, though the time run fast which is a good thing! I just hope that I can manage my time so I can do something on my own at some weekday nights. The director told me that many people don't last long in this company because they thought it's too much work load and hour, but then after they go back to the 9-5 job, they would find it boring!

More update on my job later, hope to take some photos to show you guys! I need some zzz now! Take care y'all!

Life Show Vol.5

Last night went to Warehouse to watch the show! It was awesome! I couldn't get there on time. I missed Attention to Piss who I think started the show. I got to see Los en Found which played better than last time I think. Then I talked to Hang in person for the first time. As I may join their band and see what's going on! I am sure in love with playing hard music! Went back to see the show after the break and it was thelovesong. They are great band and I really enjoyed their music last nite. Then I met Jacqueline to talked about guitars and her band. She introduced me another guy who may play guitar for her band later on. Anyway, good luck! So we went back to watch King Ly Chee. They played very tight and very good as a band. The crowd went nuts! Circle pit, battle field!!! Man If I am 10 yrs younger I am sure will be in the pit! haha. After KLC, it was the main band Tookoo from Bejing. I think they are ok but not that particular. Jacq and I were in the front checking out the guitarist's effect pedals. He used around 8-10 pedals. He did have some cool sound. Though for me I like it simple. :) After show talked to Jacq and her friend for a bit more. This guy told me he didn't listen to any music in 2003 because he said there wasn't any good music. Funny dude! Oh yeah, he's a Christian too! I asked him to go to Mong Kok for Future Acoustic on 29th.

So after I left Warehouse, I headed to LKF to meet up a friend from Macau. She brought me to her friends' party and we drank a bit and danced abit. Seriously it's not really my scene but hey I enjoyed a drink or 2 so it was ok. Got home around 5:30am and I was dead! haha

Finally, I Got A Job!

Yes I got a job! I am so happy because it's the company I wanted the most from all my interviews. Even though the pay is not that good but it sure helps my future alot because of the type of work this company will do. I think I will get to learn alot from this job. Also the company is in Wan Chai so it's pretty close!

Will tell you guys more about the job later on! Take care y'all!

Another Wish List


KFK-1 TEN BAND EQUALIZER

If MXR's M-108 10-Band EQ isn't heavy enough for you, check out its evil twin, the Kerry King 10-Band. Designed in conjunction with the legendary Slayer guitarist, this beastly, tattoo-covered pedal sports the same great features and hardcore construction as the M-108, but the King can punish two amps at once thanks to its dual outputs. Use it as a boost for solos or to create thrash-approved, scooped-mid rhythm tones. Create raging sustain and feedback while getting more thunderous low-end out of your rig than you ever thought possible. The Kerry King 10-Band EQ: Use with caution. And don’t say we didn’t warn you

Experiencing with God

Speaking of interview, actually I turned down an interview which is on Monday. Well, last Friday I got a call from a design company as they told me they want to hire someone to do graphic design/ package design for an adult toys company. They were even okay with my expected salary. We arranged an interview on Monday. However I started to have this thought about conflict between the job and my belief. Anyway, I talked to some people (Christians and non-believers) and I received two different views. Then on Sunday after church, I got to talk to some bro and sis as I shared my thought, most of them suggested I shouldn't take the job. Anyway, I thought they were right and I said to myself, maybe I won't take the job but why not going to the interview to gain interview experience. Then Sunday night during our VSG meeting, we had a prayer meeting. As we prayed, there was a voice telling me DON'T EVEN GO TO THE INTERVIEW. It repeated a few times so after prayer I told the G-ONE family about not to go to the interview, they were all happy for me and told me God will have a better job coming up for me.

Anyway, after I rejected that job, I got 4 calls from yesterday (actually they were calls right after me sending out emails at the internet cafe). I don't know if I will get one of these jobs, but hey at least God rewarded me for the interview experience that I once have lost, and He actually gave me 4 of them!

Thanks God and I need your prayers!
Joe

Internet and Interview

Finally I got my internet back at home. Now I don't need to go to any internet cafe! YEAH!

Today I went to 2 interviews, one in the morning at TST and another in the afternoon at Chai Wan. I really like the 2nd one as the company does cool design and it's more interesting. The boss who interviewed me is a cool dude. He's quite handsome and I think most girls will fall for this type of guy. Young, good looking, well built with muscle, tanned and tall. I guess some may not like him because he has long hair and tied up. Anyway, I want this job!

No Internet!

Since I have just moved, my new place doesn't have internet service till later this week. I am now at the internet cafe at a Youth Outreach Centre next to Sai Wan Ho MTR station. It's a great place for young people. It opens 24 hrs for people to come to hang out. It's good because there are social workers and volunteers to help street kids to find a safe place to go. There are hip hop dance class, basketball court, bandroom, study room and even arcade and k-room. Oh yeah, they also have some resident for people to rent to live. We need something like this in this city!

Moved

Yes, I moved again. Let me count how many times I moved:

1. Choi Hung, HK
2. Mei Foo, HK
3. Basement of a house at Edmonton, Canada
4. Apartment at Ed
5. 11014 - 80Ave at Ed
6. 25 Silverthrone at Toronto,Canada
7. Bamburgh Circle, Toronto
8. Another floor for Bamburgh Circle, Toronto
9. Andy's basement, TO
10. Chen family's basement, TO
11. Fortress Hill, HK
12. Sau Kei Wan, HK

I am sure I will move and move and move again! SUCKS cos I hate packing stuffs!!!

Gibson SG '61 Reissue



I bought this guitar about 3 years ago from an ebay store. It's a display model but totally new. The sound of this guitar is sweet yet powerful with distortion. SG has been my favorite guitar over the years. Beside this 61 reissue, I have another SG which is a standard model. I got the standard SG from a friend when I was in college around 10 years ago. I will put up the photo of that one later on!

Job Interview

Today I just finished another job interview. I hope I can get in this company because it's a world known US company which specializes on toys and figures. Anyway, I think the interviewers like me but I have to wait since they have other candidates as usual. I just hope they suck hahahaha! Nah, I hope I am the best for this job. I will put on more info later on, so wish me some luck guys!

Langham Place Live Jazz Series

Last night I went to Langham Place to see Eugene Pao x Jun Kung, and there were 2 more musicians: Ted Lo on keyboard and Peter Scherr on double bass. It's my first time to see Eugene and what can I say, he's AWESOME!!! He will be the main factor if one day I play jazz. Anyway, he's a nice person because during the intermission, I went up to him to ask him some guitar technique he used, and he then showed me how he did it. Also I got to talk to him abit after show. Jun was awesome last night too and he talked to me and my other friends about his upcoming shows and etc. This is the 2nd time I met him and both times he's very sincere.

I also met my friend Jacqueline because the event was run by their music co. For info on future show: http://im.innonation.com.hk/web_events/0507-07_Langham.htm

I hope that the music (indie/mainstream) will be more diversity and appreicated by different people.

Thanks K

Friends are very important in my life. Without them I really have no clue what to do with I am down, confused, losing my mind or whatsoever. Once again my good friend K stayed with me, listened to me and talked to me. K, thanks for listening to me (I know how pointless I am sometimes) and gave me all the good and fair advices.

Wednesday, September 14, 2005

Oh God

Oh God, please heal her pain. I know with your power, u can mercy anyone you want. I am here to pray you for taking away her sorrow. Many times we forgot about you, but you are still there for us. Please do again for her as she really needs you at this moment. Please provide her your comfort which she urgently needs. Thanks God for your kindness and true love.

Moving On?!?

What's going on? Is that it? I guess we are done......

Interview Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will have an interview at Central. It's graphic design job at an advertising agency. I never work in agency so I wonder why they called me. It will be nice to work in ad. agency because it's a good place to collect more works for my portfolio. My portfolio is not really that great! Hopefully will bring some good news! Wish me some luck guys!

Taking a Break

Hum... these days I don't really have much motivation to write my blog. All I can say is that life these days are very routine. I really need to find a job. Ronald, my friend from Toronto came to visit and we will get to watch football games again and yeah play some Winning Eleven. Then next month Henry will come to HK to have his wedding dinner, he asked me to be his best man already. It's my honour and I really excite about his wedding because this is the first time I get involved with someone's wedding!

Find Your Dream

Yesterday was a very tiring day though it was a memorable day in my life. The long prepared band show Find Your Dream was finally finished last night. It was a memorable evening for many of us.

Woked up at 8am is something tough for me to do. Then I headed to the show venue helping to move things and unpack stuffs. Shit happened as someone dropped one of the Marshall Head and Cab on the floor. That's pretty bad and luckily everything was ok and it still sounded alright. God bless us! So we then spent sometimes to set up the stage. We have some sound and lighting tech (from the venue) with us. They helped us alot. Though I don't like the soundman as he's a bit too close-minded. Because many times we tried to suggest some setting, he will tell us not working. I think it's ok but why not giving it a try. Oh well, gotta respect him because he works in that venue. Anyway, that place is not really good for doing rock show.

to be continued...

Winning Eleven 9






These days I am playing Winning Eleven 9, despite I don't have much time to play. I really enjoy the game as it is more realistic then ever. I heard that this will be the last Winning Eleven on PS2 because in the future they will released on PS3. I think with more powerful engine, the future of Winning Eleven should look bright!

G-ONE Outing to Sheung Shui

We had a G-ONE outing on Sunday. It was good as everyone had lots of fun. We went to Ben's auntie house at Sheung Shui for bbq. It was very far and took so long to get there. It's actually my first or second time to Sheung Shui. I first thought it was a place not so many people, but I was wrong. There were so many people. Anyway, the bbq was good and we joked around having lots of laughs. When I got home I was sooooo tire! Oh yeah, one more thing is that I got to see Kuen came back to HK from TO for visit. Gotta jam with him sometimes!

Recorded 2 Demos at 506

Tonite went to my ex-bandmate's bandroom to recorded 2 demos I wrote earlier. Basically just a few guitar tracks. Just wanna record them so that I can lay down some more ideas when I get to listen to what I have now. Thanks my ex-bandmate Gene for his time and help. It reminded me the old days we jammed and watched music dvd at the room. I am sure will visit them again sometimes and they will have my full support too!

FIFA Street

Just finished playing the new game FIFA Street! The game is fun and if you like soccer you gotta play this game! I will give this game a 85/100!!! I am gonna find days to play against Murphy as he introduced this game to me.



Saturday, July 16, 2005

When someone chooses not to fight back, it's not necessary to mean he's weak. More likely, the person is trying to be calmed. Even though it may hurt alot because of things others have done, figting back just won't help the whole situation better. All these tough practice should make the man a better person in the future. At least at the moment I still believe a peaceful world is a better place to live in.

失望...變成了上帝的指示

Suna sent me a site this afternoon 失望...變成了上帝的指示

Here I want to share with you guys. No matter you believe in God or not, if you have time, take a look and it will help you to think about your life and open yourself up!

I have gone through periods of disappointment in my life. Some I still can't fully get over with, though I believe that there is a reason which God wants me to learn. Every since moving back to HK from TO, I haven't got one stable job. I worked in 4 different companies in less than 2 years. The last one was bad enough that my company went out of business. And just 2 days before the last day, I went to play basketball and torn my arcilies tendon which caused me a surgery, 7 days at the hosiptal and over 2 months of staying home recovering.

But then God gave me something I couldn't have imagined. First he gave me the idea on my music life. During my recovery I have written 2 songs which are something very different to my previous songs, and I believe that it will be the kind of style I am writting. Something more emotional and less heaviness.

Then I got to meet a girl who's like an angel to me. Someone who cares about me and someone who gives me hope in romance relationship. If I never hurt my leg, I wouldn't have known her, period! So that's what I learn after seeing a bigger picture (why I lost my job and hurt my leg).

My friends, I encourage you to visit this site and to read the words and hopefully you will find a new life if you ever need one!

My Gun And Bullet

I realize my mouth is like a gun and my tongue is like a bullet. It can really hurt people. I feel sorry to everyone that I have hurt in the past - my families, my friends, my loved one and even my Lord. I never had the idea how much it could hurt someone with my words. Recently I said something to hurt my girl. At first I didn't even know how much pain I caused her. I was plain dumb. I know I left her a scar and I know that it's not easy to be removed. I pray that God can heal her pain.

I am not writing this for mercy, but to tell you that what's like to have an evilish mouth which is given by Him. From now on I gotta do my best to control my mouth. Otherwise, the lesson will not be learned.

At the end, I want to share some reading with you. It is from 雅各書3章 and when you open here, you can see the teaching at the bottom.

Take care everyone, God bless y'all!

Fender Stratocaster 60's Reissue



I used this Fender Strat for to record my guitar parts on the song 共鳴. I haven't played this guitar for a long time because I left it in Toronto. This guitar has a good vintage tone. I think in the future I will use it more for recording mellow stuffs. Gotta give a big thanks to Kayun who brought this guitar back for me from TO.

Skywav



Finished recording last night at Skywav! We started at 7pm and finished around 1am. It was good as we only have little time to record. Now we are waiting for the mixing to hear the final version.

以試煉為喜樂

The last few days were tough! I had gone through some difficulties. I really had no clue why things happened that way. I asked myself, asked you and asked HIM. I prayed and hoped good things would come. I am still waiting for the answer. Though this time I am not going to give up that easily. When I read James, it gave me some strength to believe good things still can happen when I have confident.

我的弟兄們,你們遭遇各種試煉的時候,都要看為喜樂;因為知道你們的信心經過考驗,就產生忍耐。但忍耐要堅持到底,使你們可以完全,毫無缺乏。

共鳴

Just got home from Skyway Studio. We practised 3 hours for the song 共鳴 which will be recorded on a charity CD. From what I heard, the CD will feature some Christian bands/groups which is to help fundraising. This is the first time that G-ONE HK will go to a studio for recording. Yik wrote this theme song for Future Acoustic. Like all of Yik's songs, this one is also in Mandarin.

Yik: vocal & acoustic guitar
Ben: electric guitar
Joe: electric guitar
Homan: bass
Tsui: drums

We will go into the studio in July 2nd. Hopefully everything will run smooth! I am sure this will be very interesting!

Ginja Rock


Went to see Jun Kung's band Ginja Rock at Mong Kok's IT Modena with Riki and Kit last Friday. It was a great show. The house speakers sucked though as it went on and off during the show. I really like their own songs as they rock! They also covered many famous old songs.

城大 City U Show

Last night I went to City U to watch a band show. It's been a long time I haven't gone watching show. It's great to see many friends from the indie scene. Many of them asked me how's my feet and etc. Also talked to my ex-bandmates as they will play the first show later this month. Well, here I wish them all the best! Pak To actually talked to me about now with just 1 guitar (after my departure), the sound became much thiner and not as good. Well, I told him let's see what's going on maybe one day we will play again together. Somewhat I miss the band. We had a good time and I always thought we could do something really good.

Irresistible Hearts opened for the show. These guys contained 3 members form ex-Hardihood. Overall I like their songs but it will be nice if they add more melodic parts to their songs. It will probably give the songs more diversity and interesting to hear.

Freestyle played 2nd and they had a good performance. It's their last show as well. I wish them well as I hope they will keep on playing music.

意色樓 is the new band with ex-Choke members plus Ting from SIQ. I enjoy their performance. Ah Lai jumped to the crowd a few times which really get everyone high.

After a 3 years break, 秋紅 Qiu Hong played their first show last nite. They played great and the crowd was very high when they played! It's great to know that people are singing along to their songs, imagine that they only released some demo mp3. They have the protential to get big! Keep on Rocking!

張震嶽 sang 3 songs and he spent too much time to fix the amp. I enjoyed his songs even though I don't buy his CD. I think I only bought one CD from him few years ago.

Also I really enjoy Whence He Came alot. It's their last show with the current line up. I really like their songs alot. Joshua is a great singer and guitar player! He's also a sincere guy too. Remember the first time I met him and talked to him after a show.

Who's The God?

Tonite after the dinner with G-ONE cores and Hilson (talked to him about joinning G-ONE) I took 102 bus home, this old man (let's call him A) talked to me as he thought I didn't know about the bus. Anyway, so after we got on the bus, A asked me to sit close to him so we can talked. A mentioned about his son and how he was lucky to meet a girl when he was not doing well in other aspects. I told A I am a christian and my story about what God has given to me while I was recovering my feet. Anyway, A then asked me about how can I forgive my enemy. A (he's a Tao 道教) told me he studied in some Catholic or Christian schools before. As he started to tell his story on forgiving, then another old man (a Christian and he's a genetics 遺傳學 professor who had been paying attention earlier) jumped in and said it's hard to forgive your enemy. He said he can forgive the Japanese when they invaded China but can't forgive the Chinese Communist because they killed his family. The professor is 70 years old and he made some comments on humans. He said to me that one time he was at France given out his speech, saying that as species 生物, it's ok for the people who has down syndrome 唐氏綜合症 not living in this world because they give too much pain to the parents and also themselves. They also cost this world extra effort. He told us many people from that conference argued with him. Anyway, I told professor I also disagree with him. Then he asked me this question, saying why? I told professor becuase nobody has the right to say who deserves to live and who doesn't deserves to live. Then he said to me, "Who's the God?" I then understood that he used the negative saying to approach to us that only God has the power to choose who lives or who's not. I later asked him about the conflict between science and religion? He told me we human try to think we make the rule, but actually it was God who has created all the rules many many years ago. He said that many scientist tried to find that one answer but at the end, they find the answer from the bible. Too bad that he has to leave the bus. Otherwise we could keep on this subject.

I went out!

Yesterday after my physio therapy session at the hospital, I went out with my mom to shop. Since the hospital is close to my dad's company, so we had dinner with him. Mom and I went to Wan Chai to buy some computer stuffs. I bought the Philips headset for somebody (you know who you are if you're reading this! hehe) and bought myself the Philips 2.1 speakers for my computer. It's been over 1 1/2 week I had not listened to my music through speakers as my hi fi (connected to my com) was broken. The sound of this speakers are good! As for the price is pretty good at $350. Pretty much the best deal for this price range. I didn't want to get the JBL as they are pretty expensive $9xx and plus. Anyway, I am happy for what I got! Yeah!

犧牲

Share with y'all with this song from Beyond. It's from their album "不見不散"

犧牲
作曲: 黃家強 作詞: 周耀輝

當今天天空充滿抑鬱
誰和誰仍然願意接近
得不得推翻一切規則
我要與你去到邊際

看一看 天地
到處太昏暗 越渴望傳奇
深呼吸 空氣
懸崖臨近了 敢於衝過生死

這個世界太多界限
我要愛到更加燦爛
即使這犧牲太大
愛得痛快

當今天身邊充滿焦急
誰和誰仍然願意放任
巴不得超出一切得失
我要與你去到邊際

Yes!

I have found what I've been looking for! I thank God for giving me something so valuable. I will cherish that alot.

Cast Taken Off

Yesterday was a big day for me as my cast was finally taken off. Yeah! Tomorrow I will have my first physio therapy and should be able to go outside without the crutches soon. My right leg is so much skinnier now and it seems there is no muscle. It will gonna take some times to train back the muscle I had not used over the last 2 months. Anyway, thanks God for the recovery!

F**king Breeders 狗養的繁殖商

Got an email from my sister as well as a pet website. It talks about a dog being abused and threw away by some fucking breeders 繁殖商. I have a dog my own that I took home from my friend's dog parents. Anyway, those bastards are really 狗養的. The following content is taken from petpetplayland.com

TOPIC : 牠可能是你買回來的小狗的爸爸 ...

http://hk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/suemaob6/my_photos
(警告: 內容可能會引起不安)

大家還記的得多年前的一個以史立莎做主角的地鐵廣告嗎? 但在照片裡, 我根本不可能相信這就是一頭史立莎! 買狗時, 可否想想眼前的小可愛是如何得來的呢? 牠們的親生父母在繁殖場, 不見天日, 只困在籠, 雙手雙腳終生不可落地. 當牠可以接觸到地面的時候, 便是牠再沒有利用價值的時候, 因牠已經被無良的繁殖商當垃圾一樣掉在街上.

Blogger Got Blocked

I have 3 friends from China telling me that they couldn't open my blog, so I sent an email to blogger to ask why. They told me that's because China may have blocked blogger so then the people from China couldn't read any of our blogs. It's BS if they do it. C'mon not everyone here talks about politics and and even so our power are too just little to cause any problem to the Chinese Government. Plain stupid!
