Sorry for the late update guys but I have been busy over the last few days and will be for the next few days also. Even so I think you guys deserve to know what’s been happening.
The song is going through a huge process of transformation and I am having a bit of a block on how to arrange it. At the same time I have another song I promised to complete and assignments for the crash course due tomorrow. The stress is mounting up but I have to admit this is little compared to what I used to handle each day.
So I decided to do something I love yesterday, of which some of you know is a special day for me. I went with the bikers to the beach! Wohooo! I’ll try to compress this day into this blog.* read disclaimer below. 
Beautiful!! ain’t it?
For the record, everyday on this particular date has been quite a painful moment for me that I’d often times rather be alone. Changed my mind and hope for the best.
Man was it hard to wake up! Dragged myself out of bed then geared up and zoom…I’m Off!! We had different checkpoints and would meet up at the Seremban rest house before proceeding to Port Dickson. Most of us rode fast bikes but some had slower ones so we kind of had to slow down our pace for the whole group to be together. All in all we looked like some mat rempits HaHa because the lower horse powered bikes were like bending so low to gain speed by less wind resistance.
Suddenly a bike a broke of the pact and went on full throttle. Time for confession, it was not me… but I followed in pursuit because I couldn’t resist the urge. I don’t know how even to describe the adrenaline rush and beautiful sound both bikes made when they were full speed side by side. I can still picture that moment in my life. Then I looked at my speedometer, 180 km/h!!!! I didn’t know my bike could go that fast!!! Wohooo! We then slowed down and waited for the rest to catch up. That made my day!
The bike line up. Not all here yet though . You’ll also notice I’m bald now!!! Hehehehe Read the rest of this entry »

I’m sick!!! Sob Sob, down with a sore throat and flu but yet I decided that its time to let you hear what the song sounds like.
My nose was running, throat was aching when I did this. I hope you all don’t laugh at my voice. This may not be a very good first impression HAHAHA.
This is just a draft as there maybe somethings you guys can point out so I can make this better. Also I did this with my notebook microphone so please bear with the sound quality. I don’t have all my stuff back here yet.
Presenting to you LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

p.s: you can find the lyrics in song writing II
Had a busy day trying to prepare myself for a very special day of remembrance to a very special person in my life. But I really failed to see what its all about until this song was played.
Feel The Nails
Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
They tell me Jesus died
For my transgressions
And that He paid that price
A long long time ago
When He gave His life for me
On a hill called Calvary
But there’s something else
I want to know
CHORUS:
Does He still feel the nails
Every time I fail?
Does He hear the crowd cry,
Crucify, again?
Am I causing Him pain?
Then I know I’ve got to change
I just can’t bear the thought
Of hurting Him
It seems that I’m so good
At breaking promises
And I treat His precious grace
So carelessly
But each time He forgives
What if He relives
The agony He felt on that tree?
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Do you still feel the nails
Every time I fail?
Have I crucified you, Jesus,
With my sin?
I’m tired of playing games
I really want to change
I never want to hurt You again
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord

Now I’m practically speechless
You know what? Unlike my dear friend Adino, I was never deprived. That doesn’t mean I was part of the popular group of students in school. I was ANTI-SOCIAL. I hated this stuff. I didn’t even want to be in the class magazine thing. Refused to pay that extravagent price for some things I want to forget. Hated taking pictures. I’d rather disappear and I did for a long long time. They probably are asking if I am still alive. Hahaha.
That was the past! Now I’m a changed man. All credit due to my lovely gal Miracle whom you could see in both picture and video (many couldn’t see that there was a small video link) format here. They say when you become a father the world around you changes. Why didn’t they mention about being a God-father?
As responsible God-father, I shall now attempt a feat never seen before by mankind. Read the rest of this entry »
It was an early Saturday morning as usual, trying to drag myself out of my comfortable bed because as usual, a bright new day has started? But I found myself all worn out and dreary….they that happens because your nervous system did not reset itself (layman terms) while you slept. I had quite a bad night tossing and turning because I was dreaming of someone who had affected my life a lot and just couldn’t get it off my mind. Kind of like a nightmare of some sort.
But I was looking forward to spending the day with a friend I have not met up in a long long time. So got up and saw my beautiful bike waiting for me there…..time to go…..zoom….. before I knew it I was 20km away making my student scream for his life! Muaaahahhahhaaha. Then I had the next batch of students…this time they made me scream for my life. Hahaha. They may be reading this blog for all I know…..hmmm
Oh well, Then I was ready to go for the appointment but the call haven’t came about the time she was to arrive. So I waited…………waited…….waited……..yawn…..this is getting BORING! So I impatiently called her. Hehe. And I hear her saying ‘sorry sorry I was about to get back to you’. She sounded so sweet I couldn’t say anything but ‘it’s ok’ hahhaha.
So I quickly went down to take my lunch only to find that it’s raining! So the announcement goes over the speaker phone…..Cagiva Mito departure to KDU is delayed until further notice….sigh
What has this to do with the title you ask? Everything! Read the rest of this entry »
I got my bike back at long last! Woohoo!
When I first got on it the sheer power drove me wild. But then I realise I was no longer used to riding the same speed as I used to. Man! I felt afraid. For those of you who want to know. This bikes top speed is currently 170km/h only. I could make it more but…..well lets say I don’t need that kind of speed.
For the first time, I felt as if speeding will kill. What a revelation! But I can see the cheeky grin on peoples faces now wondering how long this will last hahaha.
Man but a good bike is a good bike. The sheer control of it was amazing. I’m going to take it for a spin tomorrow and write anotheer bike adventure woooohooo!
Have you ever wondered how it would feel like to lose your teeth when you’re old? Well this video clip is something like that only cuter. It sent me bonkers what people would do for their favorite food.

you will need quicktime to see this!
Have you ever fell in love? I have…in fact I believe I didn’t just fall in love but truly loved. Yet no matter how I see it, I still question. What is this thing called love?
In my humble opinion, we live in a generation that has a warped up idea of love. We have limited the definition of love until it becomes nothing more than a feeling of attraction. Romance dominates every single movie you see. Without it the movie will be a flop.
Love in fact is a universal language that everyone supposedly knows about. If love was taken away from life, there is no life. So then why is love such an important part of our life yet we hardly know or want to know what love is?
So what is this thing called LOVE? I honestly would like to hear from other people’s perspective on what love is.
I believe love is a deliberate choice. It is not based on feelings nor emotions but a choice to love someone for just who they are. I could never ask my parents not to love me. They have chosen to and will love me.
Of course I could write a whole paper on this. But what is love to you? We hear statements being thrown around such as ‘you don’t love me anymore’ or ‘you don’t know what love is’ or even ‘ I don’t love you anymore’. Can we actually define what true love is? I believe we can.
So dear friends,
Maybe you can answer it this way….the first section answer what you think is not love or is commonly misinterpreted as love.
The second section.. write what love really is.
Please contribute….I believe this can develop into something really interesting. You may ask why I suddenly raise this question? Maybe I’m just struggling to find out and answer to this question so much.
My dear friends, these few days have been chaotic for me. Rushing here, Rushing there and in the end making it just on time to place my vote. Phew!!!
I stayed awake until 330am trying to see the results as much as I could but knocked out because I had important matters the next day. Wait a minute….its the same day….Sunday…
The results were very provocative to me personally. Some things I really wish didn’t happen happened. But I am happy that our country Malaysia is about to experience change.
What do you think the future holds? Please share your thoughts.
I personally think if the leaders learn from this lesson, Malaysia will have a bright future. Personally I believe there is a ray of hope because of these results and a clear message of the people’s feelings which should have been heard a long time ago (but fell on deaf ears before this).
I have positive feelings about this. I want this all to turn to something good. Am I being too optimistic?
But the biggest lesson I learnt is that I love this country so so much. What would I like to see in the future?

First week of crash course almost done. But yet I have already crashed….fell sick with the most major headache in my life.
Work is madness now too… sigh. I miss my bike so much. When I’m stressed my bike takes it away. Now I got nothing to RELEASE….AHHHHH!! Rumor is that I’m going to get it back soon. Yes! About 2 more weeks.

Step 3:
I would then proceed with the lyrics of the song. My reason for this is because the lyrics of the song is very important in directing how the song is supposed to be like. What kind of style and so on so forth. Just like I said before, the creative process varies for each individual.
For the lyrics process you need to decide who your audience is. Adults,Youth, Children, Mothers, Lovers and etc…..

For those aspiring song writers. I’m going to attempt to write a guide on how song writing can be done. Before that one must realize that song writing is a creative process and therefore there is no steadfast rule that it must be done a certain way. It however has been proven that there are certain methods that generally work or else there is no point in music education. This however is how I approach song writing.
Step 1:
Determine the type of song you are about to write. Love song, sad song, break-up song, happy song and etc….
As for me I am going to write a wedding song.
Some people get inspired by a tune in their head then start penning it down. But my favorite song writer of all time Diane Warren apparently does not do it that way. She locks herself away and just brainstorms. You see, if we wait for inspiration all the time then it’s going to be very difficult to write songs constantly because let me ask you this, which of us are constantly inspired?
You can go to www.realsongs.com and preview all Diane Warren’s top hits around the world. You’d be surprised by how many of them you have fell in love with.

My Oh my you looked more shocked than me!
Bikerz adventures contunues today as the force of nature is to be reckoned with again! Rain Rain Rain…its been pouring down all the time in quantities that I cannot imagine or comprehend. So there I suit up in my funny looking raincoat to get back from my crash course(in my mind constantly praying I won’t crash).
I place my bag in the box I have behind the motorcycle. If you don’t already know this is a bike that I borrowed because mine is in the workshop (long story). When I got back, I realised the box was open. The strap of my bag was hanging there all wet. My bag was still there Thank Goodness or I will have lost my Asus EEEPC even before I ever blogged about it!
Call this luck, Call this whatever you want. I’ll call it a miracle. The way I ride it shouldn’t be there still. What a way to end my day!
Today I will not be able to see my dearest God daughter, instead I’m having to attend a crash course at Bible school.
Two weeks of intensive information cramming can cause major overload. My brain goes into overdrive and then my body starts weakening. This pheonomena repeats itself all the time. So hopefully this time I don’t crash! I fell sick at every crash course. Maybe they should not name it crash course anymore to remove the psychological factor that I might be feeding the thought that I would crash until I actually DO!
Trading time with her for self-improvement…how do we actually define if this is a good decision?
I miss her so much. I miss the feeling of just being loved unconditionally (rejected also childishly).

I’m in the process of writing a song for a friend’s wedding. Would like some feedback so I will post it up asap. The lyrics first perhaps. Looking forward to the comments. Maybe I would also give tips to those who want to write songs in a later blog. At the moment this is due in May and I have to get it translated into Cambodian because this is going to be sung there.
As you will see in time to come, I will provide some of my music for free. If you like it share it. I am more than happy. I’m not planning to make money out of them but I hope that nobody will take my music and copyright them as their own. You won’t will you? I trust you. haha.
Oh I will be performing the song to on the wedding day and I will also be the best man. Exciting day for me. So wait for my update with great anticipation!!
