walking the path to death

As i walked down the roads
my tears trickled down
splattered on my pale cheeks

I look up at the sky
hoping that the sunlight can dry my tears
and the wind can blow my unhappiness away

My heart cracked open
and bleed
bleed....

i love you
too much indeed
which ended up with more problems

u want to protect me
from danger
but it made our distance even further

u want to protect my heart
from intruder
but we ended up breaking apart

the more u care for me
the more u protect me
the worst it will be

i love the days when we cook together
discussing which to throw into the pan first
and burn the garlics...

i love the days when we play music together
u on ur guitar
me on my piano

i love the days when we play together
u'll try to catch me
i'll try to run and hide

i love the days when we hv lunch together
jus the 2 of us
as we laugh at silly jokes

i love u
dad..
i love u...

but..
the more i love u
the more hurtful it'll be for us

tat's why..
i feel..
the best decision...

is to leave each other

daddy..i love u...
it's because i love u
i dun want to hurt u

i love u, dad.
i really love u...

Another composition

today..when i woke up it was lunch time... i cant eat at all..missing some dude terribly. suddenly, i had the inspiration to compose sth.... and i composed this song

nothing can break us apart

actually, i wanted to name it 'with u, for u', but.. these words was not to be found in the lyrics at all...and, 'nothing can break us apart' was present there for 4 times..so..i changed the title of the song....

the lyrics.....


Nothing can break us apart --- Elizabeth Chua 26th march 2008

When I look into your eyes I see the meaning of love
When I stare at your nose I feel the power of love
You can bring me to the sky and through the Heaven’s door
Shining in our eyes there Is love

Holding hands together we shall make miracles
Completing God’s will under his eyes
With the love and strength that God has given us
Nothing can break us apart



When u pull me close to you I feel the breathe of life
When you hold me close to you I know the meaning of life
When you stay close to me I know I am safe
Shining in our hearts there is love



Holding hands together we shall make miracles
Completing God’s will under his eyes
With the love and strength that God has given us
Nothing can break us apart

Nothing can break us apart

Nothing can break us apart


i still need to refine it and get Angie to sing it, then i'll upload it here. not everyone might like this song cuz..it sounds like some praise and worship song or some church hymns..wat to do..i'm exposed to all these songs now...

Easter Vigil

last nite, we celebrated midnight mass as usual. Easter Vigil. there were around 24 ppl baptized last nite. so happy to see them. it started at... 10.30pm and ended around 1.30am.

we started the mass in complete darkness. musicians have to use torchlights to look at the scores... uncle Dominic sang very well for the 'Exulted'. sooo nice. i love him.. he's like my 2nd dad to me....

the first hmyn was 'Come to the river'. i love that the most!! i played violin for that with one of the twins. i love 'parched lands' too which i played the violin and one of the twins played the flute. it was beautiful!!!

me and one of the twins playing violin..

me on tambourines..damn fun lo....
me playing the casaba.
the musicians....
dominic is the one in red..i love him!!!!!!
harold on the harmonica.


i'd like to thank Dominic for giving me a chance to play violin during Easter, and not the organ.

i'd like to thank Christopher Andrew..the fur ball for being my camera-man , and to help my mom taking care of my bro, and to borrow his laps to my bro so that my bro can sleep during mass, and also to help me dad in carrying his guitars

I love being a catholic. and i'm proud to be a catholic.



HAPPY EASTER

JADE rosin

enough bout violins. let's look at rosins.

i jus bought this rosin recently. it's amazing. it's called JADE rosin cuz it's in Green i think..most rosin are in yellow but not this.

the rosin.



it's good. seriously good. when i put it on my own Hoffman bow, which the hair was already ruined and was helpless...it restored my bow to life. SERIOUS. i'm not kidding. it's so soft. it's a soft rosin. very soft indeed.

it can be used on violins, violas and cellos.

although it's a little expensive but, it's worth it.

Highly recommended by me. but of cuz..dun try this jus for a cheap china bow la..it's not really that worth it then..if ur using a cheap beginner bow.. then.. any rosin would be sufficient.

Estimated Price : about..RM 51

Karl Hofner Master Violin

This, is a Hofner. but, not the China Hofner u find in Bentley Music or anywhere. This is a Master Violin, made by Karl Hofner himself. HANDMADE.

History :
Karl Hofner himself handed this violin to my teacher and asked him, 'do u want to buy this?' my teacher tried and bought this instantly. This is a Master violin. made in Germany.


The Hofner violin.
the Back.


the pegs.
the inside. ( click to enlarge so tat u'll hv a better view of it)
Comments :
1. superb. sounds like the Otto Joser Klier violin which i fell in love with. til then, this was the one who manage to attract and catch my attention to look at it for more than one minute.
2. the G string is warm but, not as warm as the Jan Kubek.
3. The E string is perfect for me as it is not too sharp and loud. i would say...it carries a little essence of mellow sound in the E string.
4. high register is perfect. it is sharp and loud and clear at 7th position
5. BUT i feel..it dosent sound woody enough. maybe i shall try Evah strings on it. I still prefer a more woody violin which doesnt contain abit of metal sound.
6. the touch. this is wonderful. i've nvr tried on such soft, silk-like touch before. when i first picked it up and play. i felt absolutely no pressure, no strenght needed at all to play this. it fitted perfectly under my chin. the size, the weight..everything suited me. i felt like..this is the one. i hv been searching for u, and u've been waiting for me. waiting for me to pick u up and bring u home. i tell u...this is wonderful.

Estimated Price : RM15,000 - RM17,000

Jan Kubek

today,i tried out a Jan Kubek violin. i din jot which model it was. i'll update it here when i get to see it again.


The Jan Kubek violin.

the pegs are nice. i did not try the pegs. so, i cant comment on them.

the back of the violin... it's a one piece.


the inside of it....


Comments :
1. the G, D , A strings are warm and full. it's much more fuller than the Hofner violin. i love it alot especially the G string. Just little vibrato and u can make ppl cry. it's very warm and mellow.

2. the E string is abit too sharp for me. I still prefer Hofner's E string. or..maybe it's the strings that makes the difference. the Dominant strings on Hofner suits my taste more. The E string is so sharp and rough tat makes me dun feel like playing on it's open string at all. this can force me to use my 4th finger. the strings used are warchal strings. very very high quality strings.

3. the touch is nice. soft. but, i still prefer Hofner's touch.


Overall: it'll be under my consideration list. Hofner will still appear as first now until i try Dominant strings on this Jan Kubek violin.

Estimated Price : RM 21,000 - 25,000

Good Friday

today

is friday.

and

it's a sad day


good friday



i was the organist today. and GUESS WAT!!!!!!!! i know i'm playing today but somehow my brain din thought of checking the list of songs for the day. i went to church early. i was wasting time, talking..bla bla....... THEN !!! station of the cross was going to start d... then i realized...ONLY THEN i realized i dunno wat are the songs for the day!!! walau....i tell u...i was sooooo 慌张 !!!!!! my gosh..i got a fright of my life !!!!!!! i searched high and low, asked ppl after ppl for the list, compare and check , and then finalize the list...yor..i cant believe i manage to sort out the list in a few mins. hahhhaha..now, i'm even more confident..i'll be even 'last minute' then ever after the incident today.

during the station of cross..we stand and kneel, stand and kneel for..at least 14 times. as usual, i cant kneel one maaaaa..my knee pain like hell!!! i pain until i want to cry, pain til i wanna faint. pain til i wanna vomit!! it's super pain!!! the pain ...it's undescribeable....how the bones of my knees jut out and touches the floor...arrrggghhhhhhh...i dun want to think bout it and imagine it again..it's soooo damn pain! i end up sitting.
later, during the prayer, we have to stand-kneel, stand-kneel again. AGAIN. this time, i stood in front of a pillar, trying to block myself so that ppl wont notice i'm jus standing all the way thru the prayer....

youths presentation was great today. i felt soooo happy and waited for the presentation cuz i'll be playing the violin and not that boring organ........... after we sang, i was waiting for claps!!! hahhaha..then i realized..we're in church, not doing a performance.. hhaha..can u believe it? waiting for claps. why nobody clap one???? hahhahaha...tat's why i love performances.....

during the veneration of the cross for the congregation was a DISASTER!!!!! u know why?? cuz...the list of songs were all jumble up!! and, a hymn just suddenly appeared from nowhere and i hv no idea how it's like cuz i've nvr ever played that b4, and Dominic was saying 'Start, eli!! start!!' i was thinking ' can u gimme a min to figure out how this song is like??' but he pushed me to start. i was like..walau... dun care la..simply play. i sit down and simply played an introduction for the song and it MATCHES!!! SEE! next time..i can be even more 'last min' cuz things will sure run well no matter how 'last min' i am in. :)

haihh..so..this was wat happened on Good Friday... the sad friday.

Holy Thursday

last whole week til today...choir of JC CHurch practiced like mad jus for today, tomoro and easter. we had practices until eleven to twelve midnight.... imagine our hard work..I was the percussionist today. playing all kinds of percussion. cant imagine me on percussions lerrrrr...

.................................................................................

i hv this inspiration..to write this story to u, my frens..


once upon a time, Prince Ferrero and Princess Violet were a lovely couple. They love each other deeply but..they're forbidden to be together because they were from different tribes in the woods. they were forced to leave each other..

one day, Prince Victor came and court Princess Violet. He managed to get her for she find him adorable and cute. Meanwhile...her heart was still with Prince Ferrero. They still love each other deeply but they cannot be together unless she leaves her tribe and convert to Prince Ferrero's tribe. But, if she does this, she'll make her dad go mad. so, they can only love each other secretly......

then, came one day when Prince Ferrero told her his unhappiness seeing her and Prince Victor together. So, she left Prince Victor. She left him for Prince Ferrero. He has snatched Prince Victor's lover away.

Things ran well and smoothly until one day............................................

Princess Violet's tribe were having an annual celebration and she met Prince Charles. it was love at first sight when she met him................................................................

will she leave Prince Ferrero? Will she stay by Prince Ferrero's side? wat will the ending be?

look out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for the ending...

more choices means better??

hey guys.. it's me in my sentimental mood again... yeah Meng Jin, i'm emo again and u cant make me feel better cuz ur also another emo... hhhhaha...

Many a times we heard from ppl..maybe parents, or frens, or teachers saying that, get urself more choices.. open your options..so, u can choose wat u want easier.Read the below sentences..do u feel some familiarity?
1. ah gal..study hard, so u can hv more choices in the future
2. do not shut ur options..give urself more choices to choose from
3. if u dun study hard, u wont have many choices, and u'll regret..


CHOICES

is it really that important?? so.. more choices means better? i dun tink so...

do u know how many years i've spent, just to choose among all the choices i hv in life?? i've spent 4 years...... jus to choose between music and engineering. wat happened in the end? i'm middle of nowhere. i've geared towards music during my sec skol, esp form 4 and 5. i put tons of hard work in music. then..i plan to go Sedaya College after Form 5 and take me diploma test. after form 5, my dad forced me into engineering. i cancelled my diploma test, cancelled all my piano classes. not to mention my violin class..i've stopped since form 4 cuz my dad doesn't want me to get involved with music and fall even deeply in love for it. so..last year..whole year was just maths, calculus, trigo and physics.. i barely touched my piano cuz i dun want to get hurt. i tried to delete from my mind that i've learned piano be4..tat i know how to play violin.. but i cant... now, after my Pre -u for engineering, my dad wants me to study music... after sooo many years..i still wander back to music....


now, in music..which do i choose to major?? piano? violin? soprano? performing arts? which????? do u know how stressful i felt? a sudden change from engineering to music made me learn and memorized 5 pieces in 1 months time. now, a sudden change from piano to violin forced me to finish one grade by one month...do u know how taxing it is? i've stop learning violin for sooo many years, suddenly when i pick it up again, i hv to learn one grade per month and go for audition. so..u call this good? more choices means good?? wat will happen next? training my soprano singing 2 grades per month so that i can rush for audition?? wat's all these??!!!!


this is alot of choices. i hv lots of choices in life..but, am i happy? no... i'm jus rushing here and there aimlessly, not able to decide wat i want but jus to rush for auditions and get all the offers i want, and then sit down, and mini miny um, and choose which shud i go... so many offers means good? no...it's not... so many choices means it's better?? no...it's not at all...



--------------------------------------------------


my dear frens..if u were given a choice..
A. someone whom can bring u happiness and ensure ur days are always happy

B. Someone whom u love, and he loves u too but u know u'll meet lots of obstacles, and life will not be that easy


which will u choose?? this is also a choice.



choices in life..is it really tat important? every choice we make, every step we take, wil change our future little by little, without our realization. it changes our lives every sec. but, did we realize it? maybe yes...but for me..i dunno.



if given a choice, i'll choose to leave everything, carry my violin on my back ......and climb the stairways to Heaven..................

my current violin

Aaron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sth to show u......

look at this violin....

i like the case, although it's not black.the inside is nice too..it has a hygrometer.
the violin ...


it's a Guardelli... i like the bird. hahhaa. it's cute.

the pegs...ahh, one thing bout the pegs, it's not easy to turn. the pegs are lousy.



the back of the violin.


the bow, is a separate bow. it does not come with the violin. it's an otto jose klier bow.

comments bout this violin :
1. the sound is not very good. i tink my cheap china made violin sounds better . hahhahaha..
2. the pegs sux
3. it's nice when u play high notes like..5th position. it produces strong, loud music when u climb higher.
4. it has a very strong bass.


comments on this bow :
1. it's good
2. the screw might be tight sometimes, or maybe i'm strengthles...
3. the response...i cant make any comments for i havent get use to this bow yet. but, it's not tat easy to do spiccato with it.

Sanctuary sux... Mardigras ROX !!!!!

yesterday...me and angie had a 'Godsisters dinner' in Itallianies . We ordered an Aglio Olio. Mmm..superb..i always love Aglio Olio.

Then.. we went to meet up with Angie's friend, Roshann and his cousin, Siva and went to Sanctuary to get a drink. They got me some liquor..lime vodka..wow...tat's superb! fell in love with it immediately and drank non stop..got giddy abit..scared me...lucky i was still fine. Sanctuary sux la...
1. the waiter says that Heineken is n0t beer.... ??? wat the hell??
2. no kick in there at all...my gosh...

then... some other friends came and we headed to Mardigras... ah...that's better..but there were very few ppl there only... but..even though people there was lesser than in sanctuary, but i felt that Mardigras is still better..a lot better........ nice place...the DJ quite old one..hhahhahha...

freedom!!!!!

AT LAST!!!! GUESS WHAT!





i've finished my recording and burned it into a DVD. for a realll PC nut like me, burning the DVD is a great accomplishment. but..ahem..i did not do it la. Jerry and Justea burned it for me.hahahhaa..i jus stood and watch and scream only. whew.. at last.. AT LAST... i felt like giving up soo many times u know? uncountable... lets see...i felt like giving up when..
1. be4 my recording when i was practicing on my etude.
2. memorizing Bach's Fugue.
3. recording Chopin's scherzo. recording halfway. HALFWAY throughout the song,i felt like throwing up . i felt like gving up. but i still continued.
4. recording beethoven's piano sonata. esp the first movement, i can die man..seriously..

Aaron..u shud seriously listen to my recordings..maybe i'll post it up here one day, when i'm free.. i'm actually quite disappointed lo.. haih..why can i play more fluently?let me explain...

1. Chopin's etude : my gosh..every 1 min, there's a mistake. can u believe it, i managed to learn, practice and memorize in 3 days time? hahha..geng ler...

2. bach's prelude and fugue no.2 : u know wat...i learn, practice and memorized in 4 days time. speed learning. hahhahha..i shud study speed learning in music, and not music performance.

3. Beethoven's piano sonata no.8 ( pathetique) : this is..really..torture..........seriously..my gosh..i'll not touch another piano sonata for 3 months. nvr. yux.

4. Chopin's scherzo no.2 : mmm..this is nice.but...it's torturing too.. it's hard. so,during my recording, as i proceed more and more towards to end, i cant afford to make a mistake or else i hv to redo it again. i was so stressed and scared. my fingers and keyboards are all wet like anything. it's like..put soap on the piano keys..or..ice skating on the piano keys. seriously sin ku..but it's a very nice piece. i've always love Chopin.

5. Clair de lune by Debussy : i hv no comment on this la..i enjoy playing it.

after this few days of hard work, i really felt that..music is not easy at all as i've imagined. it's really hard work, continuous hard work and continuous pressure esp performance lo...u cant afford to make a mistake up there on the stage. it's no longer the sec skol performance or some dinner performance where ppl dun really care wat u play. now, it's different. Phd holders, experienced performers, medias will all be criticising u if u dun play well..and, everyday practice doesn't promise u a flawless music. haihh... i tink..the pressure is even greater than being an engineer.... at least, during exam, i still can cancel or rub off my mistake. but, a performer, can nvr erase the mistake one make on the stage..unless there's a time machine where u can return few secs ago and play it again...

i really must have a good night's sleep man....everyday, i practice from 9am sharp til 1am with few hours break in between for my meals. AND..there's no last min in music..like wat i did. the consequences were..practicing from morning til another morning, but still cant play perfectly. music requires time.. not like studying. today study, tomoro exam.haih..i must really think twice. shud i really go for music.

now, i'd like to thank my dear friends greatly.
JERRY JANET JUSTEA and last but not least... MENG JIN
