One Man BAND!!!

Jack of All Trades
You completed all of the instrument careers
150
Acquired 12/20/2008

I officially completed GH World Tour Career in all instruments today... huhuhu... still a lot more to practice to makes things perfect....

Lead Guitar
I could say playing guitar is my best position right now... from the 5 difficulty levels.. i managed to play all songs in hard n expert level(the two highest level available)... it has been a long way though... i played gh for almost two years now..(since april 2007)... hopefully i could beat all song in expert level soon... those fast paced song are too hard!!!

Bass
Sama as lead guitar... but a lil bit easier.. i do think i've beat expert level songs more than i do in lead guitar... hv to count to make sure...

Drums
started playing drums with en. bart's rock band drums... got myself a set of gh world tour drum set last month... so far so good... managed to play almost song in medium difficulty... n a few in hard... my hands-eye-feet coordination is getting better by the day... trying to beat more hard level songs now b4 i move to expert level.. there is still a long way ahead of me...

Singer
hahahha... i could never imagine myself holding a mic n sing.. i never even went to karaoke.. even with a lot of failure.. i'm greatful i never hv to lower my level to beginner mode... all that timing n pitch stuff.. how could i know.. just thankful i am better than i first started.. wont be a malaysian idol soon enough.. but i think i will get a hang of it little by little... time to try to score higher... n beat more songs in medium difficulty... will try to provide at least one hour(or just half) per day n 5 days a week for that..

plannning to buy myself a real guitar soon... for drums... wait for another year kot.. hv been eyeing that yamaha digital drum for years... or mayb i'll buy that ion drum kit for rock band 1st instead... that look cool enough...


Ion Drum Kit for Rock Band 2(a.k.a. Rock Band 2 Premium Drum Set)

Yamaha DTXpress IV Special Electronic Drum Kit

my current GH World Tour Drum Kit

see the difference?!!

And a marathon is over....

hihihi.... didn't think i could do it again... but now here i am... just finish watching Band of Brothers in less than 24 hours... 10 episodes... 6GB ++ of data... and about 10hrs viewing time... yes en. otai... aku telah berjaya mengulangi Band of Brothers marathon.. huhuhu... here is some part by part review... for those who know them.. be free to add anything in comment...

Part 1 Currahee
Sets in Taccoa 1942, a group of young mens volunteered to be the newest military regiment... the paratroopers... lead by Lt. Sobel(David Schwimmer, most of us remember him as Ross Geller in Friends series..).. a harsh leader that makes Easy Company the finest paratroopers in the division...

Part 2 Day of Days
Most of us know it as D Day... June 6 1944... when the paratroopers flew from England crossing the English Channel to Normandy... all of the drama starts here... n Lt. Winters rose as Easy Company leader.. coz their CO lost when they try top land... owhh... Lt. Sobel is not their leader that day... he wuz a good leader.. but not in battle field... kompem ramai yg mati kalau mamat ni lead.. they got their 1st win at Normandy in WWII... taking down German's fortified artillery position... letting the Allies bring the supplies n the whole battalion towards their goal to defeat Krauts...

Part 3 Carentan
Only 2 days after Normandy... Easy company leads the division to Carentan... several casualties... the success proves Easy company is the finest soldier available on the ground... soon they were in the frontlines most of the battles engaged..

Part 4 Replacements
fresh faces joined Easy Co. due to heavy casualties... just in time b4 they drop into Holland for operation Market Garden... there were a few issues...

Part 5 Crossroads
Winters lead a platoon(beberapa belas org..) into a risky mission in Dutch Dike... killed 2 companies of SS(+-300 soldiers).. got promoted to Battalion XO(Executive Officer)... n the stories continue in Bastogne...

Part 6 Bastogne
Bastogne, Belgium.... Easy Co. holding the line... cold winters.. massive German artillery..low on supplies n ration coz they were cornered by the Krauts... added by bad leadership... u got the worst christmas.. and the sweetest victory for Easy Co...

Part 7 The Breaking Point
opsss.... hehehe... silap laa td... diorang dapat maintan the line... pastu serang Foy... bandar dekat hutan tu... pastu baru laa menang.... tp teruk jugaklaa.. sbb ketua baru tu mmg hampeh... hehehe..

Part 8 The Last Patrol

Part 9 Why We Fight

Part 10 Points

cupp... malas dah nak tulis panjang2... lagipon mcm spoiler je utk org yg x pernah tgk... secara ringkasnye... lepas satu close counter dgn Nazi... dkt dgn sempadan jerman nih... akhirnya diorang masuk jerman... surprisingly.. agak aman.. sbb time tu askar2 jerman dah mula menyerah.. jumpa Death Camp yg amat menyedihkan.. masuk Eagle Nest... sakit jiwa lepas perang... dan akhirnye masing2 blk dan meneruskan kehidupan sendiri... kesimpulannye... ini satu siri yg amat best,.. (4 me laa)... action + history... highly recommended to watch... aku sendiri dah berapa kali agaknye layan Band of Brothers nih... dlm tu rasanye ni kali kedua takpon ketiga aku me marathon cite nih... hehehehe.. sape2 yg penah join PULAPOL ke ape lagi laa akan faham dgn citer nih.. kesimpulan pada kesimpulannye... sila lah tgk... amaran kerajaan malaysia...

NOT FOR THE FAINTED HEARTS!!!

ReLIving the memories....

Today is the time for Band of Brothers.,... terfikir nak tgk smalam.. terus dload... Alhamdulillah ari ni siap... Band of Brothers ni cite pasal World War 2... about Easy Company 506 Airborne... Half documentary.. 10 siri semuanye... HBO original production 2001.. teringat masa kat JAD dulu buat Band of Brothers marathon.. huhuhuhu.. a must see series...

Pirates of Silicon Valley

Another day... another movie... since skarang ni byk tv series on season break... its my time to get into my collections of podcasts n movies n watch them..not just download rite...

this is an old movie... 1999 to be exact.. lama jugak rasenyer tersimpan dlm hdisk aku nih...too little time n too much to do... huhuhu... alkisah cite ni pasal penubuhan microsoft n apple..how the early days of gates n jobbs... not very interesting for movie goers... but a geek like me.. its a must!!!(did i just call myself a geek?).. huhuhu.. wutever.. i luv computers... i luv internet.. n i luv electronic gadgets...

i hv a copy of the movie if anybody want to see it.. amazing how the phrase " good artists copy and great artists steal" used in this movie... or mayb there are somebody out there want to be as rich n as successful as gates n jobbs.. i know i dont want to... (literally... please read between the lines..)... n i wonder about the intellectual property protected by these company... u stole em rite?i feel like want to steal back from them rite now.. happy watchin!!!

Quotes and more QUOTES!!

"There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. Afraid. Confused. Without a roadmap. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us would rather turn around and go back. But once in awhile people push on to something better-something found just beyond the pain of going it alone and just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance.
Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because it's only when you're tested that you discover who you truly are. And it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work, faith and belief, and beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead."
||Lucas Scott||

there are times when i felt that way....many times.... lots of times.... n i guess i'm the kind of person who like to push it over n beyond... keep pushing my own limits... keep getting up every time i fell down... discovering i luv to fight me... keep pushing myself against my limit.... i know its hard to be the best in everything..... being perfect? not a single moment i've ever imagined i'll become one.... just trying to be a better me each and every day...
just remember one thing....

"Ida Scott Taylor once wrote: Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone; and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come. Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."
||Lucas Scott||

one step at a time..... i couldn't go back in time to repairs wut i've done.... n i can't predict neither control wut will happen in my future.... so wut i do is to live in the present.... make it beautiful..... n create + find options for better future.....

There's no shame in being afraid. Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of, because when you put a face on it you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it. Looking back on what I said all those years ago, all the hopes and dreams I had, I've come to the conclusion that if having things turn out the way you wanted them to is a measure of a successful life, then some would say I'm a failure.
||Whitey Durham||

huhuhu..... my favourite... i've been planning and executing so many things in the past years... some of them fell in the right places.... some of them got delayed.... n some hv to be forgotten..... but i thanked for everything that didnt come out the way i wanted to.... coz every single of them opened new roads for me to explore... i'm still exploring n discovering where will i go next..... n will be doing the same things for years from now.... hurmm... when will i settle down then?

"The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past, and recognize that every day won't be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember, it's only in the black of night that you see the stars, and those stars lead you back home."
||Whitey Durham||

yeah.... sometimes we're caught in something that we always wanted.... it might not be the best thing for us.... setbacks could make us think n reevaluate things.... we should look at the disappointments we had, not to bitter over them, but as a life experience, personal history that will help us through life....

"William Blake once wrote: There are things that are known and things that are unknown and in between there are doors."
||Lucas Scott||

how could i describe this one? hurmm... anybody want to help me out here?

"As we strain to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make our life better, money, popularity, fame, we ignore the things that truly matter. The simple things like friendship, family, love, the things we probably already had."
||Lucas Scott||

yupp.... been there..... i always hate people that only think for themselves without turning around n care for others..... there were a period of time i've ignored a lot of people around me.... just being selfish for the sake of me... n guess wut? i do hate myself for that... still cant forgive myself for that... n guess i will keep hating those kind of people no matter how successful they are... till the day they found how the act of selfless is the thing that make their life better... everyone's life... competition is good.... but selfish act is just unforgivable....

hey.... that is just me... in this place i'm talking about my own view.... luv quotes by Lucas n the late Whitey(sape2 yg ikut One Tree Hill sure tau kan..)..... anybody knows the screen writer? he is good.... i would kill just to experience wut he/she hv been through.... that kind of wisdom doesnt come cheap..... n dont come that easy.....
