Looks like 7 zai to me  

~ I dont care what they say, I just keep bleeding

Inspiration and aspiration.. compassion and passion.. what is the difference between them?

This person explains it all.. Ok.. just for this person I shall say out his name..

Dom Famularo

what did he use to explains everything? One thing..

Drum

BEFORE I BEGIN.. BE WARN THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY

LONG POST..

SO Dont bother reading if you are not interested in drum

yep.. today, She and I went for a drum clinic at YMS Arts Centre FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME

and we enjoyed a great deal of benefits ranging from materialistic souvenir like poster to valuable knowledge that cant be measured with anything in this world.

He’s a very humorous guy too! I guess that’s why we got interested.. he shared with us many things out of which I’m going to just talk about some here without his humorous bassist jokes

I would like to exclaim that the following contents shows what I REMEMBER from the clinic and If I got some wrong information, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused and that no defamation should occur to the mentioned parties.

He said..

There is 3 kinds of people in this world.

1) The wave makers

People who create the waves and ride on it~!

2) The Wave Riders

People who saw the wave and decided to ride on it too!

3) The lost souls still searching for the beach!

Think about it yourself…

Interesting.. I think this is a very good example of not just in a drummers life. But it’s a philosophy that could be applied to almost everything..

The best is of course to be the wave maker..

CREATE the wave and be at the top! Start the trend! Make people follow you! That would be the best… How can we achieve this is another question.

And then the Wave Riders..

I have to admit it but I hate to be a wave rider.. yet even though i’m hating it.. I’m a wave rider in life who is trying to create a wave!

But then, what he said was that at least we knew there is a wave and decided to ride on it, thus still able to catch up with the trend.

Well.. Ok.. agree to a certain extend..

then the worst.. LoL

People who are still finding the beach ( Or Bitch?) !

So which category did you fall into? YOU decide your OWN LIFE

Followed by which, he asked the audience,

what is the bottom line of arts?

Someone said Hunger LoL

Well.. Eating would be the bottom line of hunger

the answer is…

Expression

this word.. it struck my heart… I started to realize that all along, I’ve been playing my drum as according to the song.. and even if I do my own fill in, it’s like what Steward said.. “Very Generic.. A universal fill in for all songs”

and I agree!

I realize I need to create my own form of drum designs!

He further showed to us what he meant by playing a simple piece of track that he created for some very cool drummer that I cant remember his name

When he started playing with the music, somehow.. I was moved!

Suddenly, I could feel him! It’s like the music came alive! I cant explain the feeling.. but I felt very touched…

The way he played it with his eyes closed.. as though traveled into another dimension.. the Drum World playing with just his feeling…

Followed by his sticks movement and legs movement.. everything was very clear.. the music mesmerized me..

I felt Heavenly for a while…

Then the music stops..

and I was being brought back to reality in a slow ride.. Why is it a slow ride?

The music did not end abruptly.. but it ended with a very nice balance between rythm and melody..

Then he told us..

DRUMMING is a form of arts.. and this form of arts is how WE express our most inner feeling.

He illustrated this by telling us about this experience where he visited the museum.

There is this one particular spot which is very crowded.. everyone is going..

“Woooo”

“WOW~!~!”

“*whistle*

Being excited to be in the museum, he squeezed his way to the front of the crowd to see the painting..

All he see is just circles after circles.. It started with very dark circles at the bottom and as it goes up, it become smaller and thinner in the outlines.. then come down again and up again..

He was like..

Water the flower?!

“Who the hell made this painting?! Why is someone wooing and wowing over circles?! My grandma could have draw that!”

“How much does this cost?”

Someone said a few hundred thousand..

“WHAT?!”

Unbelievable!

Then the manager of the museum came over and ask him, Do you know what does this picture mean?

He said.. Of course!! It’s just circles!

Then she started explaining..

Long Long ago.. there is this person who live in an area where painting was prohibited..

he hid his painting under the bed and the very first time he learnt painting.. he drew one circle at the bottom corner of the canvas..

then he will practise drawing circles on some other paper and when he felt he got better, he came back to this piece of canvas paper and drew another circle just above the first circle with lighter outlines.

Then he does the same thing for I dont remember how many years..

Then he left this place and move on to another place where painting is allowed and he started drawing more circles.. then a tragic happened..

His wife passed away.. Feeling very sad.. he started drawing the circles going downwards every now and then until it reached the bottom and of course the circle gets darker and darker.

Then.. slowly.. he was able to overcome his grieved and his life got better.. thus the circle starts going up again and it gets brighter and brighter.. and 2 days after he drew his last circles.. He was on his deathbed..

and finally he passed away at the age of 84..(or somewhere around there)

This Circles is actually his life story..

after that… he also went “wow~!”

After hearing this.. there is something in me that seems to awake.. I want to explore more about this feeling.. this emotions that Dom is able to make me feel.. I hope I will have an answer soon…

So after that he talks about compassion and passion..

What is passion?

Aiya.. everyone knows lah hor?

But what is compassion?

I’m very surprised that at that point of time.. I realize I dont really know the meaning..

After a while, someone gave the answer..

Passion is about knowing the others needs and giving it to them

Again.. this trigger my feelings.. What feelings? I HAVE NO IDEA!

But I know something in me has been triggered..

yes.. It’s like a light shone down on me and now I see drum in a whole new area..

After that he performed some solo.. He said.. he dont know how is he going to start and how is he going to end.. he’s just going to let his body move and let the drum speaks for him..

so as he sat down on the chair, he started with the bass.. and slowly adds in more instrument..

As I look at him play.. I can really see the passion in him.. It’s so great!! It appears i’m not the only one with this opinion, but the audience there too. But I believe some people might say he’s crazy because the way he plays the drum is really very dramatic. But I’ve learnt to appreciate it and I love it!

15 minutes of solos filled the room.. I love it so much.. I saw how he transmits from one pattern to another without any harsh switch and the music flow smoothly..

I saw how he made use of everything on the drumset to make music..

and believe me.. It sounds very nice.. he played the drumset in ways that I’ve never thought of it before..

using the metal stand.. the bottom part of the clash.. and everywhere.

After the solo end.. he told us there is 2 rules we need to remember..

If we walk out of the clinic today remembering this 2 rules.. our drum life is going to change quite drastically..

Rule Number One

There is no rule

Rule Number Two

Follow rule number one

Wow.. who could forget such an advise?

i’ll say.. this advise really seems useful..

and I’m sure it’s going to be in me for a while now..

As the clinic is approaching the end, it’s finally time for FAQ.

Someone ask..

How does he teach his student!

He said.. He want his student to go in get inspired and come out being aspired!

So what exactly does it mean?

Inspired means getting motivated by others

Aspired means getting motivated by yourself!

And with Aspiration comes Self Discipline.

Yes..this is what he said.

I’m glad to hear it actually.. because it shows I’m still currently on the right track

SO with the questions ended, his talk is over and time for prize giving~! Many posters are being thrown out at the audience and I happened to caught one! She got hers too! LoL

then.. the lucky prize..

one lucky guy get to walk away with a DOUBLE BASS PEDAL!

AND another one get to walk away with ONE SNARE DRUM!!

Ahhh~!~!~!~! LoL

Ah well.. I wasn’t one of them though

But I shall say I’m thankful and satisfied with just the poster Thank God for that! lol

With this.. the whole drum clinic end.. and tomorrow I shall assume work and back to reality.. LoL

Ok.. time to sleep.. Good Night everyone! If Welna got post up the poster in her blog.. then I shall copy from hers and show it to you all

Kk~!~! Nights Out!

~* Aspired!

My Theory

I dont think it’s done by the stall person.

Why? Da bao leh~!

That means this person has to travel.

Any form of travel requires movement..

Any form of movement causes shakyness

Any form of shakyness would move things around

So my conclusion? She just happen to strike a 4d and got a little brother shape when she opened her lunchbox because by the time she reached her office, the fishballs would have played catching with the sausage and rolled around the unstable titanic for at least 4 rounds.

To be so offended at that state without even thinking of WHY?

That really shows how impulsive a person could be isn’t it?

Smart Women, must read! Haahaa….

WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, ‘Relatives of yours?’ ‘Yep,’ the wife replied, In-laws.’

WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day… 30,000 to a man’s 15,000. The wife replied, ‘The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men… The husband then turned to his wife and asked, ‘What?’

CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, ‘I don’t know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time. ‘ The wife responded, ‘Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.

The wife said, ‘You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don’t have to wait as long to get our coffee.’ The husband said, ‘ You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.’ Wife replies, ‘No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee.’ Husband replies, ‘I can’t believe that, show me.’ So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says………. ‘HEBREWS’

The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, Please wake me at 5:00 AM.’ He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.
The paper said, ‘It is 5:00 AM. Wake up.’
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

here is another joke…
Enjoy this JOKE!

Boss says to secretary: ‘We will go abroad on business for a week, so please make arrangement.’

Secretary makes call to Husband: ‘For a week my boss and I will be going abroad, you look after yourself.’

Husband makes call to secret lover: ‘My wife is going abroad for a week, so let’s spend the week together. ‘

Secret lover makes call to a small boy whom she is giving private tuition: ‘I am not free for a week, so you need not come for tuition. ‘

Small boy makes call to his grandfather: ‘Grandpa, I don’t have tuition for a week because my teacher is busy. Let’s spend the week together. ‘

Grandpa(the 1st boss) makes call to his secretary: ‘Now I am going to spend time with my grandson, so please postpone that overseas meeting.’

Secretary makes call to her husband: ‘My boss has just cancelled our trip.’

Husband makes call to secret lover: ‘We cannot spend this week together, my wife has cancelled her trip.’

Secret lover makes call to the small boy: ‘This week we will have tuition as usual.’

Small boy makes call to his grandfather: ‘Grandpa, my teacher said this week I have to attend class. Sorry I can’t accompany you.’

Grandpa makes call to his secretary: ‘Don’t worry, this week we will attend that overseas meeting, so please make arrangement.’

This is called deadlock in life.

haha… I told this to my friend just now and my friend almost died laughing LoL

“ei.. I yesterday accidentally open a .exe and dio virus leh”

“wahahahahaha.. I cant believe it.. you? Jason THe IT Dude?”

-_-”

Ok.. enough with the introduction, let me explained how did I manage to kill the virus

It all started from yesterday night when I wanted to install some application that promise to help me with some crontab stuff that I’m dealing with now at my work.

Guess what?

I click ler nothing happen.

Then.. suddenly it dawned on me!

I frantically fumbled for the Ctrl Alt Delete button

And there I saw it..

The application is using up to 80% of my resources and is currently ranked second over FireFox(dear god!) that’s using even more (I wonder why?) lol.

ok anyway..

the first thing I would obviously do is to terminate the high performance crunching process only to realize there are so many other .exe I dont even know which is safe to terminate except for the 1386.exe that appeared like 20 times?

lol.. So after that.. my computer got so laggy.. I was like.. Oh my.. Shit~! Ahhh~!~! Why did I go and click on that stupid .exe when all my senses warned me not to.

So ok.. I was praying for a miracle.. God.. you wont kill my com would you?

I’m in the middle of a project now leh hehe

So time for Rescue Operation 101

Fire up Spybots- Search And Destroy.

“The latest update is blah blah 2006… would you like to update definition now?”

I sianz diao..

com is already so lag and now i need to deal with this..

all the time, Windows keep giving me irritating popup like

“You are infected with spyware! Click here to remove it now!”

“Your operation speed is slow. You may be infected with Spyware! Click here for security updates!”

And I thought God sent a savior from Microsoft.

So there I went, happily clicking on the link thinking I might have misunderstood Microsoft for a while now, they are all heart after all..

There I was..

“Remove slow loading virus by downloading our LATEST Software!”

I’m probably gleaming by then..

*Click Click Click and the download started…

Looking at the download meter like a school kid looking intently on the clock and countdown till reccess.

100%

Wooo~!~! VICTORY IS MINE!!!

Install the software and Off I go! Scan like nobody business..

tons of threats has been found! The excitedness is increasing in me..

Yeah Babe Yeah Babe~!

Finally.. for the last exulting moment.. I click on [REMOVE ALL THREATS]

Just like how Kira laughed wickedly after 45 seconds has passed and he thought all his obstacles are going to die in the container (Death Note Anime/Manga Last episode)

I faced the same shocking fate.

“You need to BUY before you can clear the virus”

Believe me.. The colorful language of mine that has been rarely heard from me came bombarding from this innocent mouth of mine for once, thinking Microsoft should just die.

so yeah.. Just when I thought the journey has come to an end.. I’m back in square one.. So back to Search and Destroy. Still scanning..

Ok nvm.. I still got my second weapon! Symentec Anti Virus! (last Update: today!)

I sianz diao…

If my anti virus is the LATEST and yet the virus could still run in my com.. I lost all hope for this little ol softy..

Still the desperate ol me decided to just give it a try. I leave my com on for the whole night JUST FOR symentec to scan through..

ZzZzZZzZ Off I went to sleep as My eyes buay ta han ler

12:00 PM. Woke up.

Went to check up my “on fire” computer to see if anything has been damaged. Looks good.. ANti Virus detected MANY and “Cleaned by Deletion” and “Partial Cleaned by Deletion - required Reboot” is EVERYWHERE!

I see liaoz sianz.. I’m afraid of restarting my com at this moment because it’s so laggy~!

well.. as time is running out, I just restart my com.. waited for the dreaded 20 minutes and relaunched all my application to continue scanning while I go for my jamming session

*Time fly and fly and fly*

4:30 PM

Came back home.. After the Jamming session, I suddenly had this feeling that.. when I look at my com, everything is going to be alright! It’s just a nightmare from yesterday!

Well.. disappointment is always in the world..

The annoying popup is still appearing.

So fine.. As I always tell all my friend..

INSPIRATION COMES FROM THE TOILET

So I started brain storming.. what are the few ways that I could rid of this virus.. think think think and think.. FINALLY!

I realized an ultimate way of solving this.

*smack myself on the forehead.. Why didn’t I thought of that?

I feel such a disgrace being an RP Student for 3 years

I totally forgot about…

Problem Based Learning!!

RP should have a problem statement for this

I could have just go to “google.com” and look for an answer..

So since my computer has been ringing with TrojanDownloader.XS and CoolWebSearch

I decided to just type in this 2 keywords..

within minutes.. 5 remover are at my disposal for each of the virus.

So I ran it..

I was so happy.. I thought it’s solved.. only to find out it came back.. by then I was like Water The Fish?

Suddenly very lost.. google also go through ler..

Having totally no more ideas, I’ve decided to just give one more solution ONE LAST TRY.

Google “TrojanDownloder.XS AND CoolWebSearch”

ANd POOF! Someone had the same problem as me! Happily.. look inside the forum read read read..

then… when I saw the solution I really smack myself everywhere lol

ComboFix… The software that helped us cleared the thumbdrive virus that was circulated in my school last time is ACTUALLY a GLOBAL remover that removes ALL MALWARE AND SPYWARE

I almost killed myself when I saw the solution. I was like.. Why didn’t I thought of that before? I’ve used it before and I didn’t know it’s an all rounder product..

So in the end.. went to download ComboFix and POOF~!~!

My computer is SOOOOOOooOoo SoooOoO CLEAN!!!

Now.. I thank God for ComboFix.. If not.. I would have been in alot of trouble considering tomorrow is my working day

This incident has made me reflect myself..

At the toilet.. I ask myself.. why did God allowed this to happen?

Then I think about 2 scenarios.. 1… I cant do my work tomorrow.. I need to format my com.. 2.. I solved it and become stronger.

Yes.. God has educated me that Format isn’t the solution to everything as long as I dont give up.. and the same goes for life… dont take the easy way out.. go for the hard way.. and gaine xperience from it

So many times I feel like giving up and just go and format.. But my pride as an IT Savvy Person stops me from moving towards that approach.. instead I tell myself.. No matter what happen I’ll continue to look into it and find a solution!

So in the end.. All was Good and IS good

I’m happily using this lovely computer now while hinting my sis at the back of my com about changing to a *mac when I come out of NS

So lovely babes and Dudez out there.. even though I didn’t experience it personally before.. I think ComboFix could clear all MSN Virus
