Searching the world....the lost will be found...

i'm feeling shitty...and a lil disillusioned to be honest..

i reckon december is always a shitty time for auditors all around the malaysia. not only are your friends back from studying overseas and partying their guts out, you are stuck in the midst of peak period and everybody is just stressed out. plus it's christmas and new year, my favourite time of the year. when you were back studying it meant like full time partying from christmas to new year.

now it's just a sad month for me. but you know what? screw it. you have a choice whether to remain the way you feel or you can either do something about it. i've decided to do something about it and stop ranting and raving about shit i can't control.

On other matters non-emo, I have just been listening to the All of the Above album by Hillsong United. I usually don't listen to CCM to enjoy it. It's either for worshiping or I need to learn a song so that I can play it in church. But I must say that this album is totally different from the rest of the Hillsongs albums out there.

It has a lil post rockish or even a lil shoe gaze feel to it. I would even call it a little dark which is just awesome. When you're listening to a hillsongs album you would usually expect their songs to be a lil Pop Rockish or Pop Punkish but this album is really a big step forward.

It's not exactly Post Rockish Mogwai style (please not i said it has a LIL) but I would call it a gateway for Contempary Christian music to other genres.

Finally I got a camera

So finally the Tay's have purchased a new camera. It's an Olympus Stylus 1040 and I have been madly snapping away at the HSDD launching and PK's wedding....

Pics on the way.....HSDD LAUNCHING GIG PICS UP IN INDIEGOAT SOON....

One word....WICKEDLYAWESOME...

Generation Gap & Freakin hell they banned facebook

GEN Y

versus

GEN X

my office can be considered fairly young in age with the majority of our office under 30 (DOB between 1978 to 1986). if you compare that with other companies, i reckon we are pretty young in age.

even then, i feel there is this gap between those born in 84,85,86 and those older peeps (sorry che and aunty)...and i think as time goes by and those born in 87 and 88 comes in to the working force, i think you will see even a greater divide...

there is a very interesting article that was on the sydney morning herald here.....

it basically discussed the gap between generation X and Gen Y in the working world...

basically the Gen X generation are ppl born in the year 1965s to about 1980s and gen-yers are those who were born in the 80s and 90s. i have even a youth pastor telling me that gen-yers are those in the 90s....i would tend to disagree with that cause i reckon i belong to the gen-y ...the gen y is the internet generation....i grew up on the internet...my whole life almost revolves around it....im certainly a Y-er

thats why i'm pissed that they blocked facebook at work....thats your source of destressing...damm...there goes your freedom at work...no personal mail, no msn no facebook....Strike any1?

Update! First article up at indiegoat

I've finally posted up my first article for Indiegoat....have an extract of it below....click on the link below for the rest.

(Extract from Indiegoat)

Applying financial concepts and arguments are usually akin to cats and dogs; that is they rarely mix. However reading the above statements in my CPA study materials, made me think on how this is so applicable to how the music scene/industry is in the world today especially in Penang and how people define Great Music

Too many times I wonder whether or not people actually listen to a certain song because they really dig or enjoy the music or whether they are listening to it just because it has been overplayed so many times through out the day and they are subconsciously told by radio, movies and MTV that the song is great.....................

Update

I've been getting involved with things really close to my heart.

MUSIC and CSR (hahaha not really that close but yeaaa kind of).

I've been helping the guys out at indiegoat to help cover gigs and to write articles. We are trying to cover anything arty around in Penang. So if any of you guys know of some local gigs, art galleries,dramas, or ANYTHING to do with Penang arts, that you would like to promote just let me know and we will put it up on our website.

WHats even more deck is that, I have been helping out in my church's youth teaching em bass and just hanging out with em. Being with the youths is awesome. It totally revitalises you. They are not tied down by the horrors and work.....check em out...i think they are totally deck...
