If you guessed Uncle Joe and Aunty Hazel, you are right!

mini-testimony

Hi all - something cool happened to me today, thought I'd share it.

I've been meaning to get this snare for some time now (about half a year?). It's Steve Jordan's (John Mayer) signature snare - tried finding it at yamaha but they didn't stock it here. So i kinda put it aside. Was expecting a first-hand to cost a bomb anyway, within the range of $700.

Then i saw an ad on soft.com.sg, someone was selling it! so i dropped him a message.

Guess who it was?

None other than Jeremy Yeo - HAHA!

Apparently he was trying to clear stuff - the snare was a year old already, and he bought it from JAPAN at about $700.

That snare is now sitting in the guest room muahaha...

But i think the coolest thing, was that i got to play it today! You know how it is, boys with new toys can't wait! and it just happened to be that it was open sunday, and cheryl asked if i could play. I think it was quite a big thing for me, cause now i don't have to wait for like a week to try it out.

so who says our God isn't a good God?

Not many photos, but plenty of time. This is what happens when relatives from mum's side come over to say. Namely, Aunty Sabrina and Uncle Chris, with their Ah-Gong.

Heres some photos to make it more interesting!

Sorry.

Sorry. I can't come to the phone at the moment because I'm too involved in doing something I've recently began to love. Call it. Xbox Live.

Peace,

Malta, Poland, Austria

Yes, i know. I have been MIA again, this time on a 12 day journey bringing me from Malta to Poland to Austria. Feels like I have not been back in london for awhile. Anyway, will be in london for the next month for studying and examinations. After that, will be heading off to USA (since its cheap to fly from here) and to Iceland.

Malta - was a fantastic experience, although the food is a little unique. Its speciality dish is Bragioli, which is a thick beef roll stuffed with meaty goodness. And like the italians and spanish, rabbits make good food. Its such a scenic island, crystal clear waters, cliffs, scenary and stinging jellyfish. My poor finger.

Poland - from malta, went on to Wroclaw (whas-war) and then later on to Krakow. Its cheaper in eastern europe and each city's old town and town square gives it that rustic charm. Poland is the land of pork cutlets and pork chops, so lincoln, choose someplace else. Wroclaw has 14 little gnomes hidden around the city doing weird stuff, so we spent our dinner calories going around and searching for them at 10pm.

From Krakow, headed down to the Auswitchz concentration camps where the jews and other ethinic minorities were systematically murdered. This was the 'mother of all camps' and killed more than an estimated 1.1 million peeps. This is the rare moment during holidays which you experience that can be characterized as a 'depressing holiday'. Let the photos speak for themselves.

Austria - home of mozart and an severely ageing population. Had the famous chocolate sachertorte (cake) and nice viennese coffee, (though the one in rome really changed my life and still takes the #1 spot). Once again, here they sell XXL schnitzels (pork cutlets) and boasts beautiful palaces. And the most interesting meal was a 1m long tray of spaghetti.

Apologies for the messed up blog entry. i guess asher would have no problem reading this, since this is his normal style.
