A Christ-mas poem


You mold me and carved me into what i am
You loved and cared for me like a Shepard to a lamb
I may have ran away thinking i won't be lost
But still, You gladly gave Your life on the cross

Through all the ups and downs, i thought i was alone
Cheered in the good times and in bad i moaned
Never have i thought that You were here with me
Upon on Your shoulders, You have always carried me

On this day every year, we eat drink and be merry
for what, i suppose, do You exist in our memory?
This poem i wrote is for everyone especially You
Happy birthday, Jesus...and Merry Christmas to You!!!

The reality of this world

" Second chances are hard to come by...even if you are working hard to be a changed man. This is the reality of this cruel, pathetic and realistic world"

That was what i posted on Facebook. It is the voice of my heart. There are NO second chances..or thirds...or fourths..

Once you've wronged, forever you will be prosecuted. This is the truth that i've learnt today. Its ALWAYS too LATE. Always.

Why am i being so emo you might ask. The thing is, this is the fact. When was the last time you gave another chance to another person? That person might have received your so called chances many many times in the past. But i do believe that you will see if they are really working hard to be that changed person.

Tonight, i'm gonna rant about relationship. I might be a bit drunk but the pain and hurt in my heart rings true. Let me tell you a story...

Once upon a time, there was a man who lost everything when his wife left him. He figured that he is at fault because he thought of providing the family with enough money so that he will be the only one working and the rest is having a wonderful, carefree life.

But the right thoughts mixed with the wrong methods killed the intention. He ignored his wife's need. All she ever wanted was FAMILY LIFE. Not a boy trying to be a businessman. Nor a life filled with money to spend without her man.

During the first 2 years of separation, this man wasted all his fortunes drowning his anguish in liquors. When he finally came to, he decided to live a life totally on his own. Not believing in the word "love" any more.

Fast forward 6 years, he finally met someone who hijacked his breathe away. Someone he didn't even know. Turns out that this "someone" was someone he SHOULD have met somewhere in his life.

So they got together somehow and to the man, it was a prayer that was answered. 8 months down the road, they are facing the common issue where ALL couples face. The "bad times" period.

The man yet once again failed to heed advice from his lady due to his weakness. And by weakness, i mean his inability to cope to stress and pressure. And they had a quarrel. What he did was, he ran away from problems. Again.

Finally, his lady decided to just let him do anything he wants to. Not caring at all for what he does. Not. At. All.

This time, the man actually listen to himself. And he decided to be a changed man. All for her and the betterment of his own life. Well, mostly its about her. It took a lot of deal for him to admit his fault and he tried to make up with her again.

But it was different this time. She really meant what she decided. For the next 7 days, all he ever get to hug or kiss her is while she was asleep. Even when they held hands, she didn't clasp her hand onto his. Words that she said was filled with hidden messages. All the i-love-you's and the i-miss-you's was only replied with a simple nod. No loving words of affections was spoken from her. Nothing.

It hurt him a great deal. He persevered. He swallowed his pride and his ego down. All because he truly love her.

They went for a movie. It was quite a good and funny show. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. But he felt like crying. All the couples in the cinema sat close to each other while only he sat close while his lady sat straight. While in the car, she'd look out the window, away from him. This is the usual scenario for that 5 days.

Many times before he tried to let her know that he is truly sorry and he is working to achieve being that man that she wants him to be but to no avail. Like usual, only simple nods. No other words of affections.

To this man, he needs motivations, encouragements from one he truly cares about. He knows that it is too late. But didn't someone said better late than never?

At the end of this story is this, they had another quarrel after movie night. He told her that he needs another chance but she keeps saying that she already gave him many many chances in the past. Yet, he is still the same. And that she needs time. Whenever he tries to reason with her, she'd keep his wrongdoings in the past coming right up in his face.

Yes. This man is me. I can't find any other way to tell her, to convince her that i am working real hard to change. But why do i get this feeling that i am worse than her cheating ex? i am not comparing. Its just a feeling that i get.

Am i not to have the freedom of telling her what i feel? I don't know. All i know now is a miracle to save this relationship. It doesn't matter what methods she is using to either make me work harder or just to make me let her go. I don't want to know. I just want to love her.

Baby, if you are reading this. I want you to know that i love you so much that I'd do anything just to be with you. Please baby, forgive me.

At this moment, I'd like to end this drunken rant with this song...




Love my baby forever,
JL

When things goes wrong...



"When things goes wrong, it will definately go wrong" - Murphy's Law

How true is that for me now. I know its been some time since i last wrote anything here. But it seems that only whenever i'm hanging out waiting for either interviews or my girl, i'd find time to think and post.

This time is no exception.

First of all, i found that all that i ever stand for is not what i really am. I used to think that music is my life. But being the jack of all trades and master of none sort of person that i am, it is working against me. I'm losing my grooves and touches. To a point where i think i've disappointed some a lot of people playing with me. I've no excuse.

And i confirmed that i am the sort of person that could not handle stresses and pressures. I tend to run away from my problems. I'd delay it rather than to face it head on. I'm a coward and i've no excuse.

And boy, am i a good procrastinator! I remembered a one of my earliest post was about procrastination and yet again i'm doing it all the time, unknowingly.

And that person-whose-name-is-not-worth-mentioning-at-all wants to take my precious away to another country! WTF?!

Then, i wanted to earn lots of money to make my girl's (and mine) life comfortable but yet again i did it with the wrong methods. I was so caught up in getting that particular job that i think i made her disappointed. I guess i just did not realise that in time.

What's timing gotta do with this? Nothing. Just that it all fell in the wrong time. Its all about timing. Bad times bad equals worst.

I was blind. i didn't see that she's been patient and considerate to me. I know it ain't about the money. Its all about the feeling of security. I've failed in the past eight and a half months i'm with her. Sure we had good times. Times when we laughed, times when we just wanted to be alone together, times when things are rough, how we held on to each other going thru that time.....i just wish this is one of those times where our love triumph over it!

Things was going so bad for me last night on the way to work in Teluk Intan with Paul that i struggled to keep my tears from free flowing.

I thought to myself, "the devil is working against me...i will NOT play his games and i will keep believing in the Lord will provide me..".

Not a minute passed, the call that i've been waiting for came. They asked me to go for that second interview! Praise the Lord! In all things bad, my Man-Jesus Christ never fails to protect me! Then i thought of a Juwita song...

"Cos only in the dark that i can seem to see..."

How many times have i sat in this roller coaster of life? I'm not afraid of dying but i yearned to live. I'm breathing now but i am dead. I am strong yet so weak.

Why is it i cannot be that someone who can protect, provide and gives security to those that i love? Why is it that i get blinded so easily? Why? Why?? Why???!!

i know it is useless to vent my anger here. I know it is useless to say anything now. Only the end can justify the mean. The damage's been done. All i can do is damage control and pray that all i wanted is within the Lord's Plan.

Someone told me that everybody's life story has been written. It is only which chapter you're in. And that i shouldn't worry too much about it. But i had to admit i couldn't stop thinking about it.

I'm way too much in love with her to let her go. She is the reason that made me wanna be a better man. I know i've screwed up, I've f!@#$%d up my life. All i want now is make things right again....with her by my side.

Dreams are for dreamers



So here i am, sitting in Starbucks. With nothing to do (yet), i've decided to post something on my blog. Oh yeah, i just saw Jason Lo in Jaya 1 about 30minutes ago.

That got me thinking. When i was a small kid, i used to think that "celebrities", people on tv, singers, actors, musician...you get my drift, used to have a hard time living out of their professions. But i was soooooo wrong. Well, that is unless you are really big in other parts of the world. But not in Malaysia.

Everyone can just walk here and there without a bother. I guess they do get to go and buy ayam percik in pasar malam without people asking them for photographs and/or autographs! LOL!!!! Thinking about that, i feel like i've cheated myself all this time! LOL!!

That is what we grownups think. But not to a kid. Even those in their early 20s still thinks that being an entertainer, performer is something to shout about. The fact is, no.

I've been performing in public for the past 3-4 years. And i can tell you, it is nothing to shout about. So what if you have a single out in the market? So what if you are a regular performing entertainer? So what if you've recorded some tracks for other artists? Its not such a big deal. We can still all sit down and chug down a cold beer at German Bier Houz without people come and disturb. LOL!! (Yes, i DO know such people...so what?! LOL!!)

But there are some cases where they think they are on the road to superstardom. They talk differently, they walk differently. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES!! You will never be as big as you hope to be. Not with just dresses and hairsprays! I'm not saying that it is not achievable in Malaysia. You can but everything comes at a price.

Can you spend the rest of your waking days just practising the same old basic techniques? Can you sleep and dream of the same old techniques? Can you forgo the freedom of hanging out with your friends at the local cinema? Can you forgo the dream of having a nice car, a smartphone (if you still don't have one...like me.)? Even if you could, without having the right connections, you'll just end up wasting your life. Its better if you just go and get yourself a REAL job...just like everyone else. Do you have the X-Factor?

I am a entertainer by night and i still need to look for a job out there. Just like the rest of you. I dream of making it in this industry and oh God, i do pray so hard. But it still boils down to the same thing. DREAMS are for DREAMERS without WORK! You have to work really hard for your dreams or you'll just end up with that. Just a dream.

Nothing is too late and nothing is impossible. Take a look at a lot of great artists. A lot of them started with nothing. But they work super-power hard to achieve their dreams and in the end, they became what they are. Some work so damn hard that they lose focus of why they are doing it in the first place. And some get so caught up in their fame that they lose what made them so good in the beginning.

To sum it all up in 6 words: DREAM, BELIEVE, WORK HARD, HUMBLE and REALISTIC!

Love,
JL

Sunday School People?

I've been "accepted" into a band. LOL!!! This is surprising, innit?

So this is the story. I went to loaf around Jaya One on Friday, 1st Oct, just to try to arrange interviews and to look for buddies who might be able to help me get a job or stuff. So as i was sitting around, chatting with James, Mak and my girlfriend waiting for Ah Boy to come join us.

Then dunno how we came across talking about music and bands (what else is new?). Ah Boy was asking if i am interested and available to play bass for a charity event. Immediately i jumped at the chance as i always wanted to be in a band. And he sent and email to Sara about our bios.

The next thing i knew, i'm in the band which tentatively being called "The Sunday School People". LOL!!! Well, till we get to think of a cooler name, this will be our band name.

To think that its been so many years since I've played in a band. Further more, God's band. Yes, i am really looking forward to this event. Not because Sara is gonna get us a paid gig or whatever...its because i always wanted to serve God musically.

Hopefully this is the right timing from God. I might be facing or gonna face some difficult time living out there from my comfort zone but i do believe He will take care of me. Like always.

Love,
JL

Finally free

Yes..i'm back to where i was before, career-wise. I'm finally free from the clutches of deceitful lies and future less road!! So i didn't last long but so what? Who would've thought that a close-to-30-years-of-establishment-company can be so system less??!

So now, i'm looking for another job daily! The plan is moving down to KL. But no worries, i'll be home every weekend to see my fam. i really need to move out from my safe zone and into the unknown!!! LOL!!

As at now, yours truly is blogging from JAYA ONE, KL. Looking to get some interviews by next week or so. But fear not, my dear CM crew! i shall be back to assist CM to a higher ground! Hopefully i am able to learn new techniques to bring back to you guys. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Anyway, after not blogging for so long, seems like i've forgotten how to make things interesting to read. Excuse me while i go listen to DREAM THEATER's FINALLY FREE...

money not enough~

Hey peeps!

Right now, i'm blogging from a COMPAQ Presario CQ42. LOL!!! i'm showing off cos this is not mine! LOL!!!

This is my mom's new lappie. For what she wanted i do not know. All i know is that my sis is quite upset about this purchase. Truth to be told, i kinda feel the same way too. Maybe i'm feeling jealous cos i don't own 1? Maybe.

But lately, seems like money is always the issue that we all shout about.

"WHY MUST YOU BUY THAT??", "I WANNA BUY THAT!" or "Oh, i WIsh i could BUY THAT!".

I know money can buy anything but i just won't buy everything! We study hard so we could get a better job. We work hard so we could earn more. We earn more therefore we spend more. And we worker harder so we could earn more to spend more. And the cycle goes on and on and on...

I hate to talk about work. I mean my day job. So i'm not gonna talk about it. The End..

Paul said i need to work at least 10yrs and above to get to a managerial position...hmm...i wonder if i can do it in half that time. Lol! That's my new target.

But i didn't forget my main mission. Music. Nothing's gonna change my love for music! Its been a year since i worked on any new song. But me and CM CREW is working on a few right now. Hopefully able to get it done by next year for our first recording!!! Keep your finger crossed!

Life is good. Amen.

10am-Sis went to her training on the centre of the Island while i was having high hopes of being entertained at a nearby Penang Times Square mall for the next 2hours or so.

10.05am-Hmm...maybe its still early. The mall was quiet and empty besides some mall music.



11.15am-Still early perhaps? Decided to just go and have coffee at Oldtown Kopitiam. Didn't want to get myself too tired cos i still need to sing tonight

12.10pm-Confirmed that this place is empty. There are only 4 levels and on each you can actually count how many stores are open...on one hand. Fail! YOU SUCK, PENANG TIMES SQUARE!!!

12.30pm-Sis called. On the way to save me from a certain death of boredom.


The "Love Love Polka Dot Ambassador" having Springy Noodle @ Oldtown

1pm-Had some lunch at Oldtown Kopitiam..again.

2.30pm-Wanted to go shopping for a bit at Queensbay Mall but taxi fare is about Rm30! Holy Crap! Decided to go against it and went straight to the bus terminal for RM25 instead.

3pm-Had to wait (what else is new?) for departure at 4.45pm

7.30pm-Landed at Ipoh. Went for dinner with mom and dad but i couldn't eat.

8.45pm-Arrived at MoonRiver Cafe straight from dinner. Its gonna be a loooong night!

Lol! There! Quite a detail account of the trip! LOL!!!! Well, apart from just walking up and down at Times Square, I didn’t get to go anywhere also. So please forgive me the lack of scenic photos.

We’ll be planning for another trip there sometime this year. I’ll finish my job then! Hopefully i won't be as lazy and i'll try to update as much as i can!

Till then, ciao~

Love,
JL

Waiting trip @ Penang Island! Part 1

Wow. I didn't even realise that its been so long since i posted anything here. Let's have a recap!

  1. Have been working and preparing like mad for the past few weeks. New venue coming up next week and i still think we are shorthanded!
  2. Got into a long distance relationship and its looking good! Lol!!!!
  3. Missed 2 F1 races due to Item No. 1
  4. Went to KL to meet up some really good buddies somewhere after CNY and loving it!
  5. Lately? Just plain lazy!
LOL!!! Well, then. Let's get on with it, shall we?

13th April.
2pm-Received an emergency call from my sis asking me to help book bus ticket and hotel room for Penang training on the next day. Since WiWi isn't up to task, we've decided to go overnight in Penang. And i get to be the bodyguard! LOL!!!

7.15pm-Able to rush just less than 5minutes before our final bus set off! Phew! Talk about last minute victories! Yay!! A win for dad!!!!

Fried Squid slices w some vegetables


erm...some pork

the cod fish

The "snow fish" (cod fish) dish was a letdown. Supposed to be a signature dish but yet could taste the "fishy" smell. And that costs us Rm35 out of our total RM66 dinner bill!

11.30pm-Went back to the hotel. Took our showers and was watching SHOWDOWN 2010 (a hippity hoppity dance competition) on TV.

Indecision

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”- Romans 8:35-37

For the past 2 weeks, i've been thinking long and hard. Literally losing a lot of sleep over it. Should i really go this time? This is how it all started.....

Just last week, i was having a great teh tarik time with me best mate, Timmy. Somehow i can't remember how we came to the topic of music, bands and joonhui. And this is what Phatboy said, "Mate, JH and i are looking forward to you playing bass with us. Come to KL. We'll figure something out. Since you've been lamenting how you are at the end of the road now."



Since that day, i've been really thinking about a change of environment. A change of my daily life. Don't get me wrong but i still love what i'm doing now. I seriously love the Crescendo Music Crew! I'm living my dream. Playing music for a living. That's what i always dreamed about. But when you, yourself who has been giving a lot of people asking you to go somewhere else for a change for the past i-don't-know-how-long the same and only reason, feeling jaded...you know it is time to move on.

I need to find myself a new set of wheels before moving down and that itself is an obstacle. Then i need to find a place to rent. And not to mention, getting a job.

Timmy has been a real mate by offering me to teach beginner guitar but that of course would mean i'm taking a 20%++ paycut from what i'm having now. But at least that is the only music related job that i'm qualified to do....i think. I'm still thinking if i should get an ordinary office job that is paying much much more (but by KL's standard...still not sufficient!)

Maybe JH's right. This is a really big leap of faith for me. Just like a fish out of its tank into another. What then, is faith? When you fervently believe in something that can't be seen, felt, touched, taste or heard. Am i prepared, mentally, physically and spiritually, for this?

I'm feeling so scared now. So afraid to move out of my comfort zone. I'm afraid that i would unwittingly sacrificed my sister's ambitions. I'm afraid that instead of gaining confidence and financially, i'm being battered by it. I'm afraid of being away from Sue Ann. Most of all...i'm afraid of failing.

JH, you're right. It pains everyone to say but Ann is really not dependent on me..in some ways. I know what i want. Confirmations and blessings. I'm not getting any younger by the minute. I can't afford to "try out" a different scenario. I don't have the luxury to test and try. I have absolutely no room to fail! The cost is too high for me.

Maybe there IS one way to solve this.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
-Psalm 23:4

Just a few hours away from 2010's Chinese New Year and..(drum roll please!)...it still feels like any other day! Crikey! >.< !!!

No loud and annoying firecrackers, no anticipation more waking up wishing the time would go faster, etc. I guess its just me grown up.

I am not much of a gambler either so i guess you won't see me much in a group of people sitting circles on the floor yelling, "PICTURE! PICTURE! PICTURE KA-BOOM!!!" and putting all my angpow money trying double it or blow it all.I still remember those younger days when all of us would sit down in the living room and would just gamble the night away. It is not the money that matters but it was the bantering, the chatting and advices on how to win the game from my uncles and aunties was rewarding. Like feeling all grown up and be a part of "them". Silly me...LOL!!

Enough with the negativity, damnit! Its a New Year!!! LOL!! Anyway, I would like to take this time and opportunity to wish everyone a "虎年进步, 身体健康 , 虎虎生威!!" and a HAPPY CHINESE NEW TIGER YEAR!!!


RaaAAoOOooUuuUU!!!

The wonders of nail polish remover!!!

Just this morning i was slowly and painstakingly scraping the remnants of past road-tax stickers off my windscreen. And what pain it is! I really hate scraping them off fearing that if i scratch it too hard will leave mark on my cheap and utterly useless window tint.

Then, my mom came to me and said, "Ah boy...why not use nail polish remover?". And she went to get the nail polish remover and some cottons. I was skeptical at first thinking, "Nail polish remover? Pfft..". Man, was i wrong!
With just a dab of the polish remover onto the cotton and i managed to literally wipe of the sticky remnants almost effortlessly!!! And now, the windscreen on WiWi now looks much much much more tidy without the reminders of where the past road-tax stickers used to be.

And for this current sticker, my sister asked me to go buy the road-tax sticker..sticker to avoid repeating the same after use trails like the previous ones. But before i bought anything, somehow the clogs in her head started spinning and used the plastic looking food wrapper and just paste it on the windscreen with the road-tax in it. Genius!! (^.^) b

The simple and inconspicuous looking nail polish remover has saved up a lot of my time! Hell, it can remove colours on your nails, why not some sticker remnants?! LOL!!! So, i've come to a new Josh Lui Top Tip of the Week; Nail Polish Remover: the WD40 of the beauty world!

JL

Post-bday!

I didn't have much of a party going on. Just dinner with my family and chilling out with me best mates! Thanks to Timmy for coming back all the way from KL (altho' i doubt the "coincidence"...) to hang out with me! Its a fun conversation we had at the mamak! And Sandy and Bell for coming out to Station 1. Altho' i get to see you guys a bit, but it's always nice to see familiar faces (thanks for being the eye candy...can't take much from looking at Timmy too much...=.="). LOL!!!!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my birthday gift from my sister! I'm loving it so much! To be honest, i think this is the first 50ml perfume i ever have in my entire 29 years (damnit..i said it again!) of life. The rest i had are just miniatures (which i love) or those which i happened to "accidentally took" from my sister's room...in my sleep!

But anyway, i always love the gifts that i get from her. She just knew what i want or what i needed. Whoever (Mr. Moriyama, perhaps??) gonna marry her will always be in for surprises! She's a gifted gifter! LOL!!!!

I dun think i'll be using another perfume for quite sometime....I HEART BURBERRY!!! >.< !!! Now i can scratch off No. 43549, TO HAVE A BOTTLE OF PERFUME, off my LIST OF THINGS TO HAVE/DO BEFORE I DIE OF OLD AGE....LOL!!!

Now...i need to secretly plan to have the iPhone..........

P/S: No, i don't have the need to cover manly scent with this...really.

Happy,
JL

THANK KIA!!!!!!!! >.< !!!

another day, another life

These few days i haven't been getting a lot of sleep. I get probably about 4 hours average of sleep per night....make that per 24 hours! Maybe once in every 3-4 days, i'd get adequate sleep. Not sure why. Now that i'm performing a 4-5 nights weekly, i really get to see where i am vocally and musically. Damn. It doesn't look good! Guess i'll have to shift up to the next gear!

I've been listening a lot to 2v1g for the past week and i am hooked! So looking forward to their sophomore album with a new voice. And i just found out that Jacky Cheung's new album was a jazz album! WTG, Jacky! Oh, and the song 十二个was written locally by Roger Wang!!! Double WTG!!!!

CNY is just 10 more days to go. And i've yet to prepare anything for it. More like, i'm too lazy to prepare for it..like any other year. Anyway, i'm thinking of getting myself something for this CNY. Still contemplating whether i should get a new guitar or an iPhone...or a cruiser bike...or a turbocharged car...sigh. And no reason i could think of why i should get myself something. I don't think i deserve anything this year.

And on that, i wanna wish you all a happy CNY and have a safe but fun holidays!!!

PS: drink responsibly!

Love,
JL

2010!!! Happy New Year!!!

2010..must have something to remember as the early few hours into the year, something mad happened.

As i was sitting down having a beer with Paul after our year end show, we heard there was shouting and crying. As we turned around, we saw a girl was curled up crying on the ground with a guy standing and shouting over her. Seems like they had a fight. A real fight. So much tension that the whole affair turned violent and resulted in slapping, holding his girl hostage, almost chopped another guy, chased by police and all the drama. I just can't fathom why did that guy eat and crap at the same place. Does he think that he looks cool? And i just saw the viral video on facebook that morning about a Chinese guy beating up a women just because there was no ice cream delivery. What has the world come to? And according to what i heard, this is not the first time that a-hole chased her around with a chopper. I wonder why she'd still stick with him. This ain't a Rihanna-Chris Brown show, yo!

But putting that incident aside, the show last night was a blast! We started singing from 9pm all the way till 1.30 in the morning! 4hours of banging on the Cajun is taking the toll on me! Luckily tonight i get to rest. But it was worth the pain. The reaction we receive was indescribable! It was like we're having a concert. People singing back to us was the best kinda motivation you can get! That alone made me ignore the pain and keep on going! I wish we had the whole show recorded! Its been a year or so since we last did happening shows like this! I really missed those days in HALO...

Anyway, a new year...a new mission. HAPPY NEW YEAR and have a great 2010!!!

Lots of love,
