She have such an amazing voice ^
Like the usual Thursday, I was trying to find out whether Sarah, Chels and Co would be at Club or at Quaker's Karaoke Bar; after finding out what we were doing for the day. I picked up my new friend / co-worker Trieu along and headed for quaker steak.
I've always enjoyed singing along and cheering for friends, but tonight has been awful. I've been so disappointed at my performance the whole night. Maybe the cold season does have some affect on this, but I was not able to reach a lot high "note" in songs, eventually I ended up lowering a whole octave so I could sing easier.
I suppose it's really not a big deal. Trieu was kind enough to make a recording for me, and I was able to hear it on the way back. I'm quiet happy that I have a nice voice for singing, (I'm just full of talents huh?). Anyways, I think I will start taking vocal lesson, it'd make a nice goal :].
This week I also had some amazing time with Nalee on photo-shooting, learning new drum techniques, and working a shit ton, keeping me pretty busy. Winter break is coming too, and tons of shit are gonna start, I hope I'll have time to write things down.

qI wanna believe in someone.
I wanna believe in something.
I wanna believe that I can.- Innerpartysystem
I'm surprise there are still so many people who are unable to speak up their mind, manipulates others and wastes time, I am left with so much disappointments. Bad stuff aside, I bought a new Alesis Dm6 electronic drumset.

It's been awhile, I felt like writing something today! Everything is so well, but truthfully, I feel like nothing could go wrong with me these days. My 21st birthday was 2 days ago, and it had some awesome start. Like usual, I went to Quaker Steak & lube with few friends on a thursday night for Karaoke.
I didn't really feel like making a big deal out of my birthday and kept quiet about it, and so I didn't expect anything to really happen. But that night, there was a singing competitions there. With many encouragement from friends, I ended up asking the karaoke man if I can join, and he told me the requirement was being 21 years or older. I smiled and pulled out my I.D and showed him that I would be, within next 30 minutes and he let me. I picked out one of my favorite song, "Creep" by Radiohead, and walked up full of confidence. I didn't feel so nervous when I was on the stage either, and I could really hear the crowd, it was really encouraging because they loved me. However, I didn't make it to the semi final =\, but I know my performance was solid, in fact, there were more people applauding and cheering me on than any of the competitor, so I was pretty proud. Later that day, I went out and hanged out with Rob, who did some amazing DJ remixes. Also watched couple movies with few good friends, really relaxing day.
Today, I started officially working as an host in Applebees. I am really enjoy being around the people there. They are all so friendly and have really good sense of humor, not to mention good looking too. Work time flied pretty quick and I got off to see Kong Xee, Der and Jonathan. We watched Harry Potter and played rounds of good ol'poker with plenty of push ups. I truly feel so grateful for days like this, no time was wasted, and I was able to enjoy every minute.
Good Night, For the Dreams :)!

I kept on writing things and deleting them. I suppose things gets personal, and it feel like whatever I writes down equals whining (even though I'm not trying to!). Overall, I had some troubles this month with car and living expenses, but life is picking up and I feel really great about it. I wish I can write everything down with great detail, but it feels like it's waay too much work. so, hopefully few lines of everything would work.
I've applied at several places for jobs, and might finally be getting my first real job at Applebees. My roommates and friends have been really helpful with advices and It's quiet funny to think that few years back, when I was given a chance for interview, I'd walk into the place with T-shirts and Jeans. I was so amazed by my own confidence and Interview was so smooth. Talking felt so easy, like I was meant for that kinda job, bleeh :P. Car was fixed by my roommate's dad for around 135, who is a super mechanic by the way! I guess my car is pretty damn important to me, I was so happy when my baby was running smoothly.
I've also been talking to a really sweet girl, she is really pretty and is a lot of fun to be around with. I have a feeling things will go really well, but time will tell.

Blink, strike, stun and killing spree! and that is the way of DotA. Recently, I've come across of a video tribute to PIS (Perfect is Shit). His every move, micro management, aggressiveness has inspired me so much.
I've always been a passive player, defensive, only picking the fight I know I will win. With 5 years experience of DotA, taking risks and putting yourself that even a single mistake would lead to death, just never made sense to me. Maybe it was lack of confidence, or that it's too much pressure to react & make the right choice in a short amount of time. But, Watching PIS play just makes me constantly wow at how well he put up a fight even under pressure! at his every move, and it must feel so rewarding to accomplish what he has done.
So, starting today, I promise to be playing with a cool mindset, dangerous and aggressive as much as possible.. Watch your back DotA players ;).

I don't have much thoughtful things to write, nor do I feel like writing things in detail. So I think this blog is going to slowly turn into a journalish thing... and so!
Oh, and I forgot to mention, Cat came back to visit this weekend. =] we haven't really talked for months and it was pretty enjoyable. At leona's, we had a fire going, shared stories and watched "Up" (since cat never seen it.) That night kinda struck me, because I felt like I have nothing really interesting to say / share. I guess I haven't been out as much this summer, and I miss that! So, starting this Thursday, I'll be hanging with Sarah / Chelsea / Jonathan again. Clubbing or karaoke every other Thursday night.

I saw Windstruck 내 여자친구를 소개합니다 for the first time. It was like what they all say, great movie; although it kinda made me sad, but I guess what's what good emotional movies do. The movie, I thought was cleverly directed, the experience it gave felt really refreshing and exciting at the same time. while looking into Yeo Kyung-jin and Myung-woo's relationship, it made me really happy, because they are so happy together. The clever things they do for another was so memorable, it made me want to try it in the future. when the tragic plot twist occured, Myung-woo died, I felt heart broken ish rest of the day! Yeo Kyung-jin's tears are super touching (She's such a great actress). Afterwards, I talked to Yer about the movie, and about how I didn't like the ending, but of course Yer was right, the movie shows that, no matter how dire things / life can get, you can always move and live on. Overall It was really entertaining, and it unexpectedly reminded me of someone i know, I guess I miss her lots, miss the little clever things we did for another, but I screwed up.. and it wasn't really meant to be. I'm sure I'll meet someone amazing this year though!
*PS. I'm picking up on Guitar again. Been Geeking too long with Starcraft 2, DotA and Cabal. If I learn something cool, expect an amazing video from me. =].

Seeing those Facebook girls always complaining about us boys. Well, honestly I haven't found a single women that doesn't disappoint me in some way!
It's a pretty vicious cycle.

This is the song that's been stuck in my head, over and over. Something about Sniper's voice that .. it's just so soothing and even though I can't understand a single word or don't really listen to hip hop, it's just, so amazing.

I'm finally moving out of this wretched home, being independent feels kind of scary, but I know it's what I've wanted since I was 14. No longer in a place that is full of approval seeking and be questioned with every action. My chance to start fresh and do things that I wasn't able to do in my adolescent years. I'll do my best to make some positive changes, such as start scheduling things, and stay commit to music, writing, blogging and other interests.
These recent month that I've written nothing down, was purely due to wanting to hang out and have fun all the times. Hang out, parties, Facebook, Phones and Messengers. It was a good experience. it helped me grow up a little, (but I think I still mature slower than everyone else in my age group!) At the same time, it was also a good opportunity to make more "real" friends, and build something more than just "talking buddies" at school.
This probably happens to everyone.. Ever had those people, that you think you are friends with, but they never try to initiate or invite you to anything? Or friends that always tells you that we are gonna hang out, or they want to hang out! but they never do when the time comes?
I haven't put much thought to it until recently, and I began to wonder what other people would have done in that situation. If this happens awhile back, I might spent sometime pondering, why? and text / call, and asking why didn't they go. I guess with everything going on lately, I realized that there are tons of people who likes my company and they've never backed out intentionally, I don't care about it as much. Real friends don't do this to you. So I guess In the end, the options I had and things I like to spend on were more valuable. It made me feel more valuable. In the end, it all come down to self respect. There is really no reason to give a shit about someone, who never gave a shit about you to begin with.
Ending this with a beautiful song && vocals.

Those who still looks at this blog are probably gone, because I haven't updated forever; but those that still blogs with me, I know, I deleted a bunch.
Part of reason for this was growing up.. I re-read many things that I've written, and I still can't believe how immature I was. However, life is heading towards a good direction. This is the second year in college, and i must say it was a good run, and I've really met some really amazing people this year.
I still want to keep some of that fun attitude within myself, and to keep the blog entertaining in some way. I'll save some stories for another day, until then..
Ciao ~ Evan
