Woohoo!..it's 1:44am now, and i can't sleep!..guess why?......no...i'm not getting a new knife again...rather, i'm getting a new drum!!..at 8pm later, i'll be collecting my new "LP (Latin Percussion) Galaxy® Giovanni Series™ Djembe" from Jhon Fernandez from the airport!!..a fellow conguero from Columbia, he now plays in Bangkok, and he did me such a huge favour by travelling 2hrs to the LP distributor in Bangkok to buy the Djembe for me!..it costs me only S$750 in total inclusive of the Djembe bag!!..in Singapore the whole set would have cost me about S$1200+++..Here's a picture of what it looks like:  Mine's the one on the left, which is the 14 inch (Diameter) Djembe, and has the deeper bass tones, and the nice crisp slaps!..woohoo!!...in 18 hours time this baby will be mine!!... Will be bringing this with me to Batam on the 3rd of June for the Church Retreat, and this time this will be the instrument that i'll play there!..haha!..Also, on the 7th and 8th of June, will be going with Eunice, and most likely Elisha; Jabez; and Paul to a Drum Circle in Singapore..that should be fun!..i'll be bringing my Djembe or Cajon..still thinking..heh.. Oh well..got to go sleep soon!.. To YOU: Chill ya?..remember, no matter what ppl say, it doesn't matter...U are U, and not what they think "U" are..Rock on!..can't wait to show U my Djembe!!

Hello!... An update on today...I'd just gotten off the bus when i heard the sound of a sports car in the distance. Saw a beautiful red Ferrari on the opposite side of the road approaching, and was admiring it when WHAM!..as the car was turning around a curved bend in the road, it spun!..spinning 180 degrees, it came to a crashing halt after hitting the kerb, and crashing its front bonnet against the lamp post. What a heartache!...such a beautiful car, now a damaged car...See what happens when drivers over-estimate their own driving skills, and under-estimate the curve?...respect the road my friend...Check out these pictures...  See the tire marks?

Hello.. Currently i'm at the starbucks at One Fullerton, sipping some freshly squeezed Orange Juice, and listening to Brazillian Bossa Nova Music. I love the feeling. The sun rays reflect off the crests of the little waves that skim across the waters, and beam rays of joy into my soul. Well..here's some knife-pictures which i like..check them out..
