A Very Loved Person (A.V.L.P.) told me this. 'In order to learn to love someone else, One needs to love his family.' and hence I am starting to learn after so many years. For a dude, loving his father his old man is gay. Although I do appreciate the things that he has done. Some things are just better left untouched. Especially the phobias of sharing a similar room with him for 5 years (when i was 14-19). He's a workaholic and like a typical Chinese, he loves his money and he works hard for it. Too hard. He tries his best to support my studies overseas to the extent that he still works despite of his health. Am I going to say thank you cos of that? Yes maybe, I shall be the grateful son and work hard and repay him. I am also going to tell him. Don't be stupid. You are only going to waste more on medical bills. Very soon extra medical bills will exceed the extra hours that he's put in. I am going to ask him. Is it really worth it? (Diss me all you want) My dad has a image of a dad to uphold but he's really stupid in a way. But I try to communicate with him as nicely as possible.
One person in my family I would like to say I am proud of is my sister. I rarely say this but here I am writing in my blog (which i doubt she will read). With the recent passing of my grandmother and the detoriation of my parents health, my sister has changed from being a rebellious teenager to being a very parent-orientated child. Often MSNing me telling me that she's worried about mum or dad having scans the next day. She worries me. Or rather she makes me feel worried about my parents. So right now she has a full time job. And when my dad told me that I could feel that he's pleased that his daughter is finally earning a stable income rather than a casual work. Which leads me to my life question. Where am I? I am nowhere near that ability/status.
Just talking with my sister today lead me to some worries on my aunties / cousins. Well they are concerns. They are very typical Singaporeans. Throughout this decade, my grandma has kept her family together. (Note: her family, or rather this is what my sister thinks). I find my aunties very kiasu. But they are who they are. They do care about my well-being, however its the little issues that worries me. They would compare their kids educational levels and salary (yes, my generation is slowly moving into the working force). And if educational levels doesn't match with salary, there will be bickerings of jealousy. Such is a reason why my sister doesn't want to reveal the true amount of her salary. It's really absurd. Like people giving ang pao money, and then the kids having parents asking them how much the other party give to them so that they would return the similar amount to their kids. What happened to good giving? After being saved, I reaslied giving is out of relationship. I realised. When I love someone, I feel happy giving. 'God loves a cheerful giver' and be it in other stuff for example buying presents or treating the person I adore for lunch / dinner. This is just not happening here. Should I pray for them? Yes defintely.
I also believe that there has been a general shift within me. Since going to church and going to urban life and OCF, I feel alot calmer and I also cut down my 'shortlist' severely. I would like to believe that I have stopped clubbing. Because I have not been there since the end of last semester (as a DJ). Although my love for electronic dance music still remains. So much so that I find myself heading for an OCF convention camp in Adelaide at the end of the month to early December. I will be gone during those period of time. So try very hard to contact me.
Recently, I have also been on a emotional rollercoaster ride in regards to relationship however I will keep it very brief and not so personal (since I have learnt my lesson). The person whom i fancy currently is an absolute woman of God. God has blessed her with wonderful abundance of gifts and abilities and with that she uses it to encounter people and ushers them into the kingdom of the Lord. She faces her own hurdles too, I would often like to help her out, but she's brave and she will succeed in doing that herself by God's grace. Sometimes I do pray whether this amazing woman of God is the one. Because she basically stopped my entire vicious cycle. But if she's not the one lest cast her away. Even though i say that. I still feel alot for her. But if things will happen between us, it will. I will be there to see it happen whether it does happen ornot.
Incidentally, my accomdation probelms (or recently lack of) has taken a new twist. Due to some newly arisen problems, I would like to announce that I am looking for new accomdations. Or rather, I am open to new accommation suggestions. Simply because my place just isn't my place anymore. Sure enough a very friendly neighbor just moved in, but i just feel my sactuary being disturbed. I love my personal space (and A.V.L.P. will have hers too, i promise) and sometimes in my past relationship that personal space gets invaded. I couldn't do alot of things myself like catch up on my favorite tv series or just play nhl or DJ and listen to the hottest songs that are out. Ok I will not digress, in short. After financially reviewing what is left in my bank account. I feel that its advisable for me to relocate. Problem: I still have 6 months left on my bond. Which I don;t think I wil have much problems breaking it. Since my property is oh so hot. I was thinking of moving in with Hoxy and her suitor and another of her church friend. But she's a lil mulling over that matter. So I was told that she was a private person but it just turned out that we were talking about accommadation so whamp. See how. She finishes her exams soon so she's going to look for house full force. I just hope I am under considerations. Prays. I need a change of environment.

E Playlist 8 is Finally Out!
After 1 whole month of break on Radio Monash, due to school commitment and event commitment, I have finally come out with the much anticipated E Playlist 8. This is a 2 hours special mix featuring Most of the House Tracks Played at the Entrance leading up to the start of the MUMSU Ball. So for those came up to me and said they like my type of music. Here's a chance to keep them! Unfortunately, I have to say that the mixing techniques are slightly different as i tend to make it more refined on Ableton and more wicked Live. The tracklist has also been concealed deliberately so those artist who are claiming copyrights: don't worry I am not selling them. =P I am only showcasing it. =)
The second segment features a more old skool collection of trance and a few new and yet progressive tracks and the mix of course ends with a high note with LA2DC by Jennings & Hemstock. This track has seriously been the pick of the month for me. Really wicked track that wooed me over when I first heard it over Radio 1.
Overall the mix seems to be alright except some volume control in some areas. Track selection is OK mainly due to the fact that I didn't use MixedInKey and I was following the order that the tracks were being played. Most of the songs were chosen live based on insinct hence I would like to say, I am working hard on track selections. =) I will upload it on imeem.com in due time when my internet speed gets back on track in a few days.
To Listen:
Track production wise: Hadi is still sorting out the business with Beatworks. I hope it will get released because I think it's awesome. I am currently working on a new melody to go well with my new track. I have snitched a few samples from the recording session I had with Grace, including her screwing up. (Opps lets pray she don't see this, since she doesn't reply me on MSN anyway). Anyway it's all good sound. I would expect to work seriously on this track after my exams as exam looms so ETA is around late November, early December. For friends and concerned family members reading this, I am staying to 22nd November as this will allow me time alone to work on my track, use up my internet bandwidth (with full privacy!), and idle myself away until my friends from Singapore finish their exams in their respective unis.
A big shoutout to Dada (who blogs up to 3 times a day OMG!) ,her pretty cousin Yeng (who have been keeping me company online) and Kelly Miyuki (whose latest post on her long hair is outrageously hilarious). All 3 chics above have been inspiration for me to carry on blogging and it's interesting to read their blog. Not to forget Mr. Chubby.Chubby.Cheek (Alvin Ong)! OMG! How did you manage to come out with such an act cute URL!
In RWC (Road Worthy Certificate), the ABs got knocked out by lowly France and It's making a few of my friends go shouting 'referee kayu!' However the sadist me saw that coming. =P
A noteworthy incident that happened was that I headed for a fieldtrip to Aspendale to check out the CSIRO there. To me it was only a change of environment as we were made to sit in the lecture theature there and made to attend 1.5 hours of extra lecutre sessions. The tour was brief and it didn't show any process going on. Mostly view charts around the building, BORING! But the highlight was before that I think. I got out of my studio to find Terry's Camry leveled to the ground. On a closer inspection, all four of his tyres has been punctured. The other two Echo's on the property also had cases of puncutred tyres. Thankfully I drive a Commodore! Seems that who ever was doing it was Anti-Toyota. Word around was that the culprit hit 8 properties on the entire street. OMG he's on a rampage. I hope you accidentally stab yourself with that knife. =) Kudos for Terry to dealing with the situation calmly. He rang his old man up who in turned patched his car and Amy's up. That's some quick work! They were back running when I got back from the field trip. And after that we went for yum cha at Imperial Kingdom. I think we should avoid that place next time. I think other places are prolly better. I saw this chic that entered this restaurant just as we were about to leave but o well. =)
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my one-time supper mate: Janet. I would like to say foremost that we did had our problems when we were working for the ball but I think it's over now. Certainly enjoyed myself that night. Thanks for taking your time off your diet and spending your last dollars on that supper. I certainly hope it isn't the last! Or else i would be confined to Maccas or KFC everynight!
I can't wait for my internet connection to get back! So that I can get back to Stargate Atlantis which just started airing and Heroes (when i have the time). When is 24 coming out? =P

Blogging is Sinful!
Yes it's sinful. =) It takes up so much of your time. My last long post took up like 2-3 hours of my time and I had to stay up until the wee hours of the morning to make it to the length that I would like it to be. However, tonight is not the case. Sorry but I don't have the time to do that. Cos there's this ball going down in Brighton. (Monash Multicultural Night). and no I am not going to balls cos I have decided that it's a waste of money. Cos guys have to dress up and such. My last one turned out to be pretty bad. However I am going to the after-party which is at this club called 'Seven' Heaven. OK I really added the heaven at the back. It's going to be another night of RnB and Hippidee Hop. I will be going with the party girl Mel whose hopefully has a fun group of friends along. I am not gonna party too hard. Cos I can't drink and drive. Neither does the music seem to get me going.
O Yeah that's the dancefloor which alot of people will be grazing. And there's the decks which I hope I will be standing behind in a Harddance Club.
Incidentally, I have decided to be brave and take up the task of being a radio DJ this semester in Radio Monash. It's nothing cool. I would believe that it's halfway between my bed rooming and DJing in clubs. A little promotion doesn't kill. But sometimes it does kill when you have the timeslot of every Wednesday 10AM. Who will listen to trance/hard dance in the morning. I reckon they need coffee than a douf douf behind their head. So sometimes I find selecting my playlist a challenge, a challenge which I enjoy solving. For the first week when I was doing the show, I was a nervous wreck and I had a 10 second gaping pause inbetween my every sentence. However ever since the second show I have been much more relex and I am slowly letting my flair to kick in. I will be listing below the tracklist of my songs that I have played for my 3 radio shows.
A couple of my mates have been telling me to try it on Synth FM the RMIT student radio, that was where Hamish and Andy came from, due to the fact that they broadcast over FM and is able to be tuned in anywhere. But I am abit reluctant to travel to the city every week.

Selling Signals Processing Book AU$70. Good Condition! No Markings at all!
Whee! I have completed my exams. Guess like i will not be studying for a while. I am BORED! I started to listen to BBC Podcast: The Best of Unsigned Artists and i found this track with an interesting melody. Kinda reminds me of Mr. Rubato of the old. The track is Wolfgang - Not in Love (Not True).
Thats the album cover.
I been checking out youtubes of my past favorite songs which included songs by Oasis and Millencolin, all rock bands, reliving memory i guess. But I don't wanna spam the youtube videos here. Too much is enough. =). I am going back to FM2006. I need a break.
Edited on 22/06/07:
OK. I have decided to continue on this post because firstly, I might not add alot of new stuff but hey, it's all related to me. Lets bitch about my landlord. Yes lets bitch about her. There's another part of her which I don't really like. One is her definition of Money, yes I know to some of you people money enhances things like health, happiness (but not necessary gives it as some of you might argue) , living conditions, it even enhances your SOCIAL CIRCLE. can you imagine it.
The definition of money on wikipedia was "Money is any good or tokens that functions as a medium of exchange that is socially and legally accepted in payment for goods and services and in settlement of debts. Money also serves as a standard of value for measuring the relative worth of different goods and services and as a store of value. Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment.[1] Money is central to the study of economics and forms its most cogent link to finance."
OK thats a whole lot of terms and definitions made up by lawyers and accountants. What money really is varies from one person to another. For Linus, it can be a contribution towards God. (Did I just read your mind? =P) . For me, it could be a source of food. YUMMY Food or talk time with my beloved girlfriend. For my girlfriend, it's just a piece of paper. O.O
*Freeze*
*Rewind*
My girlfriend and I, and more recently Jessamyn have been attending this forum: The Landmark Forum by the friendly people from Landmark Education. It a forum that doesn't just teaches you something, it's about having conversations about oneself, transformation about oneself, having great relationship with others and having a whole new perspective about other things. Money, being an important thing for most of us, other than the favorite mobile.
O yeah that used to be my hand(s)phone and I had 6 carriers (from left) Vignesh, Sanjit, Mutu, Chandra, Singh, and his gay partner. Incidentally Yee Chien's latest post is super disturbing, It has Naruto and Sasuke kissing on two separate occasions.
What my girlfriend attended was the Landmark Advanced Course and she found a brand new meaning for the word money. What if money was a way of saying thanks? In her futuristic utopia there will be no money but pieces of paper ready to incinerated.
*Fast Forwards*
As for my landlord how ever, it means everything to her. I can't help but notice that every conversation i have with her as a word money in it. Even if it means leaving the tap dripping or the drips of water on her most precious carpet which would cost bugs to manifest and for her to call the carpet cleaning services which will cost her extra money. Sounds abit far fetched for me. But one needs to understand her past. She's single and available and hot not, old definitely yes. She's a Singaporean, married to an Australian Local, however ,as 60 percent of the marriages are in this country, ended up with two of them signing a paper. The funny thing was, when she told me this she told me that her husband was claiming almost everything she had. Even her property back home in Singapore leaving only this precious house left to her in which she will soon lose to the bank as she is unable to foot the mortgage. However the strange thing is that she wants to renovate the house to make it pricer when she rents it would before the bank claims it back, so that it's an investment? =.= Anyway, She's in this business of organising the construction of a certain library for the needy kids in Chiangrai as well. However, throughout my conversations with her about her project and overhearing her exclaimed expressions through the phone lines, I can't help but to judge her. (FYI i am always hearing her exclaiming words of authority. "I won't let them do it! I will personally see it out myself! Why should I let them do it!" though i cannot really quote the exact words.) She's hurt inside. Lost of Power, and money and trust most probably from her broken marriage. I know she's trying to help the needy, however I would hope if she do it in a more sincere way and involve others rather than to do it just to prove something or to assert power. I will not back stab her on my blog (although this post seem perfectly fitting for the reason). I will now put it to point to talk this point out with her and to get to understand her more before I move out. I just want to see someone doing what they really want but not doing something just to correct something that has happened. In fact, I pity her. Not myself that I have to live with her and stand up to her perfectly sane sleeping hours between 11-7. (Mine probably starts at 6am and ends at 1pm) However, I have made a commitment to my dearest that I will sleep early, at least 12-2am and not like 6am. I want to be a transformed person to be accepted. =) Not because to be accepted, but I have been wanting to be like that for quite sometime but I just couldn't put it to task.
On the day after my final paper, I actually went crazy and went to do a mix of hard dance songs and ended up sampling accapella over some instrumental parts of the hard dance songs. It's like one of those mix and mash versions by the cut up boys, however it's more nooby and it's of the hard dance genre. I am finalising one mini mix which features 4 tracks i have on my computer at the moment, however I am waiting for the BK Cd album which is arriving from Singapore after the doctor passed it to my girlfriend to bring it over to me while she's here. I am waiting for it so that i can rip out songs from that cd and try to incorporate some sounds into the mini mix. I will be putting a sample online soon enough when jessamyn host it for me. Which she will after she cleans her room. =) I am too lazy for these kinda IT stuff.
I just "earned" 106 dollars today with one bank visit and one phone call today. Its so wicked. I just felt so happy even for the fact that i made a 60km/h turn on a 40km/h road with a speedometer and a possible police hiding. Is that considered speeding? I think it does =(. But i think I just earned it back =) By submitting my TFN to the bank! For all those that doesn't know, TFN stands for Tax F******* Number (Actually I don't know what F stands for but o well) Basically If you work, you have to submit your TFN to your employers in Melbourne and they will sorta record it. So at the end of every financial year, being 1st of july for Australia. You need to submit your income tax. But I blardie don't even work yet! True. However I have not submitted my TFN to the bank, hence the taxation office tax half of my interest as 'income tax' I used to say What the hell just let it go cos Australian interest rates are like 6% and half is 3% and hell it's still higher than POSB. OK I was wrong. I went to the bank today and i thought about the TFN thing and i just wanted to enquire about it and if i calculate it that if they rip 30 dollars from me a month. Hell, it's 360 a year! I would be rich! Aww turns out they only took out 106 dollars from me last year but still it's a return! I earned it back from the tax office!
I am not sure if she's that pretty though but if you guys are interested I will ask if I see her.
I have also sorted out my accommodation for the 12 months and possibly further if I like it. It's like even closer to the uni than the "on-campus halls" and I get to use my own internet without going through the PRICER Monash intra net. Rent is 175/week but I think i will like it there. Own toilet and own kitchen area. Own internet. I even have a friend there. Sylvia! And the girls to guys ratio is 3:1. Hello I am attached so no funny thoughts. But you guys are welcomed if you wanna bunk in. Hahahaha. Just joking, I will charge ya ass off for a peep! I pity Terry, he will have to come camouflaged in Black the next time in black at night. So I can't see him snooping around. Major thanks to sylvia for putting up with my "eh do u have a place at your place?" questions. Every time i sms her it seems to be about that. But I would sincerely like to thank you. Hope to see you neighbour!
Footnote: I been to youtube these days on the recent controversial England vs Holland U21 match which ended in an amazing 13-12 penalty shootout loss for the English. Especially for football and other sports. I hate to see people swear or even comment really bad stuff. I have a stereotype of Americans after viewing you tubes and their negative comments ok most are negative comments and skanky chics who flails to songs. (o great now i can't find the link) But yeah, I found some horrible ones for my favorite songs from Deepest Blue a few days ago and it's really disconcerting. If some guy will tell 'them' to like post somewhere else they will raise this thing about "freedom of speech" Americans - definitely not the center of the world, nor the leaders of the free-world. It just irks me. I am now justifying my decision not to go to the states to study.

The definition of money on wikipedia was "Money is any good or tokens that functions as a medium of exchange that is socially and legally accepted in payment for goods and services and in settlement of debts. Money also serves as a standard of value for measuring the relative worth of different goods and services and as a store of value. Some authors explicitly require money to be a standard of deferred payment.[1] Money is central to the study of economics and forms its most cogent link to finance."
OK thats a whole lot of terms and definitions made up by lawyers and accountants. What money really is varies from one person to another. For Linus, it can be a contribution towards God. (Did I just read your mind? =P) . For me, it could be a source of food. YUMMY Food or talk time with my beloved girlfriend. For my girlfriend, it's just a piece of paper. O.O
*Freeze*
*Rewind*
My girlfriend and I, and more recently Jessamyn have been attending this forum: The Landmark Forum by the friendly people from Landmark Education. It a forum that doesn't just teaches you something, it's about having conversations about oneself, transformation about oneself, having great relationship with others and having a whole new perspective about other things. Money, being an important thing for most of us, other than the favorite mobile.
O yeah that used to be my hand(s)phone and I had 6 carriers (from left) Vignesh, Sanjit, Mutu, Chandra, Singh, and his gay partner. Incidentally Yee Chien's latest post is super disturbing, It has Naruto and Sasuke kissing on two separate occasions.
What my girlfriend attended was the Landmark Advanced Course and she found a brand new meaning for the word money. What if money was a way of saying thanks? In her futuristic utopia there will be no money but pieces of paper ready to incinerated.
*Fast Forwards*
As for my landlord how ever, it means everything to her. I can't help but notice that every conversation i have with her as a word money in it. Even if it means leaving the tap dripping or the drips of water on her most precious carpet which would cost bugs to manifest and for her to call the carpet cleaning services which will cost her extra money. Sounds abit far fetched for me. But one needs to understand her past. She's single and available and hot not, old definitely yes. She's a Singaporean, married to an Australian Local, however ,as 60 percent of the marriages are in this country, ended up with two of them signing a paper. The funny thing was, when she told me this she told me that her husband was claiming almost everything she had. Even her property back home in Singapore leaving only this precious house left to her in which she will soon lose to the bank as she is unable to foot the mortgage. However the strange thing is that she wants to renovate the house to make it pricer when she rents it would before the bank claims it back, so that it's an investment? =.= Anyway, She's in this business of organising the construction of a certain library for the needy kids in Chiangrai as well. However, throughout my conversations with her about her project and overhearing her exclaimed expressions through the phone lines, I can't help but to judge her. (FYI i am always hearing her exclaiming words of authority. "I won't let them do it! I will personally see it out myself! Why should I let them do it!" though i cannot really quote the exact words.) She's hurt inside. Lost of Power, and money and trust most probably from her broken marriage. I know she's trying to help the needy, however I would hope if she do it in a more sincere way and involve others rather than to do it just to prove something or to assert power. I will not back stab her on my blog (although this post seem perfectly fitting for the reason). I will now put it to point to talk this point out with her and to get to understand her more before I move out. I just want to see someone doing what they really want but not doing something just to correct something that has happened. In fact, I pity her. Not myself that I have to live with her and stand up to her perfectly sane sleeping hours between 11-7. (Mine probably starts at 6am and ends at 1pm) However, I have made a commitment to my dearest that I will sleep early, at least 12-2am and not like 6am. I want to be a transformed person to be accepted. =) Not because to be accepted, but I have been wanting to be like that for quite sometime but I just couldn't put it to task.
On the day after my final paper, I actually went crazy and went to do a mix of hard dance songs and ended up sampling accapella over some instrumental parts of the hard dance songs. It's like one of those mix and mash versions by the cut up boys, however it's more nooby and it's of the hard dance genre. I am finalising one mini mix which features 4 tracks i have on my computer at the moment, however I am waiting for the BK Cd album which is arriving from Singapore after the doctor passed it to my girlfriend to bring it over to me while she's here. I am waiting for it so that i can rip out songs from that cd and try to incorporate some sounds into the mini mix. I will be putting a sample online soon enough when jessamyn host it for me. Which she will after she cleans her room. =) I am too lazy for these kinda IT stuff.
I just "earned" 106 dollars today with one bank visit and one phone call today. Its so wicked. I just felt so happy even for the fact that i made a 60km/h turn on a 40km/h road with a speedometer and a possible police hiding. Is that considered speeding? I think it does =(. But i think I just earned it back =) By submitting my TFN to the bank! For all those that doesn't know, TFN stands for Tax F******* Number (Actually I don't know what F stands for but o well) Basically If you work, you have to submit your TFN to your employers in Melbourne and they will sorta record it. So at the end of every financial year, being 1st of july for Australia. You need to submit your income tax. But I blardie don't even work yet! True. However I have not submitted my TFN to the bank, hence the taxation office tax half of my interest as 'income tax' I used to say What the hell just let it go cos Australian interest rates are like 6% and half is 3% and hell it's still higher than POSB. OK I was wrong. I went to the bank today and i thought about the TFN thing and i just wanted to enquire about it and if i calculate it that if they rip 30 dollars from me a month. Hell, it's 360 a year! I would be rich! Aww turns out they only took out 106 dollars from me last year but still it's a return! I earned it back from the tax office!
I am not sure if she's that pretty though but if you guys are interested I will ask if I see her.
I have also sorted out my accommodation for the 12 months and possibly further if I like it. It's like even closer to the uni than the "on-campus halls" and I get to use my own internet without going through the PRICER Monash intra net. Rent is 175/week but I think i will like it there. Own toilet and own kitchen area. Own internet. I even have a friend there. Sylvia! And the girls to guys ratio is 3:1. Hello I am attached so no funny thoughts. But you guys are welcomed if you wanna bunk in. Hahahaha. Just joking, I will charge ya ass off for a peep! I pity Terry, he will have to come camouflaged in Black the next time in black at night. So I can't see him snooping around. Major thanks to sylvia for putting up with my "eh do u have a place at your place?" questions. Every time i sms her it seems to be about that. But I would sincerely like to thank you. Hope to see you neighbour!
Footnote: I been to youtube these days on the recent controversial England vs Holland U21 match which ended in an amazing 13-12 penalty shootout loss for the English. Especially for football and other sports. I hate to see people swear or even comment really bad stuff. I have a stereotype of Americans after viewing you tubes and their negative comments ok most are negative comments and skanky chics who flails to songs. (o great now i can't find the link) But yeah, I found some horrible ones for my favorite songs from Deepest Blue a few days ago and it's really disconcerting. If some guy will tell 'them' to like post somewhere else they will raise this thing about "freedom of speech" Americans - definitely not the center of the world, nor the leaders of the free-world. It just irks me. I am now justifying my decision not to go to the states to study.

Introduction
First of all, I would like to say this being my first post here, that I fully intend to use this as a form of introduction of myself since the 'about myself' in the section above only allowed me to enter not more than 500 characters. As you can see on my only photo above this post you can see a picture of me in Rod Laver Arena in the heart of Melbourne celebrating a massive clubbing event called Godskitchen (Flyer on the Right). I have only been to such an event of this scale once due to lack to self confidence and peers to head with. I jumped at the chance when my mate, Gary invited me to head to this even and my, my was I taken to it. Prior to that, I already had my interest in the Electronica field of music. Evolving from the 'degrading' and 'simplistic' Eurodance when I was around 16 to 18. Those two descriptions might not fit in well with some of my readers as most of the readers refer it as Techno. However, I would like to inform the un-informed that there are so many types of Dance Music around in the world. My favorite being Hard Dance, Hard Trance, Goa, Psychedelic Trance, Funky House, Electro House, Trance. I was just introducing my girlfriend Breakbeat (another great genre). To aid her with her break dancing. Good Luck to her on that, Breaks can go up to 170 beats per minute. Speaking of Dance Music, on the right column there are a list of radio shows I do try my best to tune into. Dave Pearce being the very best of dance anthem starters, Eddie being more into Trance/Hard Trance, Julesy and Pete playing predominantly house music. I do tune into Kutski once every month for my monthly Hard Dance feed. I do access several music sites a day being an avid listener and I do purchase mp3s online and vinyls/cds so i will be posting things here, reviews and my favorite track of the moment. There is even a section at the bottom of the site which gives a small track listing. This week and last week there has been an awesome track which has been making waves in Julesy's Radio Show. I was frantically trying to look for it. However I was unable to find an mp3 source. What I was able to find was a live version of it on Youtube. Here's a part of the tune. Have a hear of it. The breakdown with the trumpet sounding really blew me away. It's Judge Jules - 'Laid Bare' (Ibiza Trumpet Mix) for those for are incidentally interested. A great track!
There is however one problem that i might potentially face in the coming weeks which is: moving back to in-campus halls. I would like to go on the record to say that i was previously living in the halls prior before moving out due to reasons that i cannot use bittorrent and I need to go everything through the university's intra-net meaning no privacy and they record and charge you by bandwidth which i anticipate to go up really high if I were the user. The rent is a bomb too. If not for the stability that renting a room from an 'association' has, I would not be moving back in. How is this so? I have been on the move since moving out of the halls. I am currently at my 3rd location. 3 places in one and a half year. I just want a place to settle down and the first thing I meet my friends in campus is not to ask them about accommodation (whether they have a spare room in their house) and just to find out what's going on about them.
I have a great relationship with my girlfriend even though she's overseas. However, she's coming over here in winter for a month! I really appreciate her commitment sometimes. Being an international student in Monash University, I sometimes find myself severely limited in terms of social circles. However, it's not an excuse. I find myself not accepting at times and not participating in events the cause. I came to back to Melbourne this year with a cause and an ambition most of it is wrecked by a dreaded virus called glandular fever which struck me down in the early of my university term. The effects of the virus will still remain in my system for months after occurring. It still does causes fatigue and low level tolerance to alcohol. Yes, I can't drink. But I am fine with that. Or rather my throat will become sore. Actually I have not consulted the doctors about this but yeah. The virus threw all my aims and integrity out of the window and I am in the midst of a terrible exam period and trying to count how many units I am able to actually pass. This is primarily why I am writing this: to document a transformation.
Feel free to drop a comment or two at the bottom in regards to any posts in the future.
