- Hahaz. Yes... was spamming this song @ G12 ytd via HP speakers. I think it came out in the year 2000, but apparently none of my frens haf heard of it.
It's v. therapeutic on the first 2 plays, but subsequently, you juz feel like squashing the banana.
So here are 3 of the funniest versions I've found while surfing through YouTube a few days back.
[For maximum enjoyment, pls up your volume to the max. Woohoo!]
Peace out & GB.

- Oh yes. I'll be back here more often I guess.
Blogging is sure a good way to de-stress, esp. after a long day where have to redo 10+ drawings of animation and having had class till 1900hrs.
A fren of mine was talking about 'burnout' today [and not referring to the XBox game, mind you]. She was referring to the dat sudden lack of willpower to continue working anymore. Be sure it's no rare sight in SIDM. I mean, having seen a bunch of pple break down/freak out juz like dat shows dat life in a design school like us ain't dat slack.
I had a tougher time in my JC days though.
Burnout is one thing u'd wish nvr to get while thr's last minute work to be done. Ur brain juz loses dat focus, and all of a sudden, u find urself unable to bring ur being to get the work done. It's kinda like when ur hard drive decides to crash whilst preparing a presentation [but having had the work saved a few mins back], and ur PC refuses to start up again. Yes, it sux! I can understand my peepz when they juz go into slack mode after a while cuz it's taxing to bear the burden of 4-5 assignments @ one go. Gd thing the pple higher up give us varying datelines, which help us most of the time, but do screw up our schedules on bad days. It's all about time management, something which I still struggle w/.
Thank God I've nvr had a burnout which lasted more than a day. The Word says dat 'God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind.' I was sort of meditating on dat on my way to sch today, in fear of wat changes Mr. Eugene might have me make again for my Earthworm Jim animation. Fortunately, he left before I could find him [we have to take our own intiative to find our lecturers u see].
Anyway, I was going to redo the drawings again...
Truly, there's no rest for me from now till end of August when my Studio Project is over. Plus, I've got the mini-musical's lyrics to work on, and God noes how I'm gng to get my pitching rite b4 the actual day.
I really need His strength, and I do find it easier to come to God on days like this. Only He understands our struggles, and the only One strong enough to carry our burdens. With Him, we can get back on track again, and it's been countless times since he has pulled me through. Even now I'm praying dat He will let this pass ASAP.
To God be the glory. May the last few weeks of this semester be a breeze by His grace.
Juz wanna share w/ u Da' T.R.U.T.H.'s new MV before I leave. U muz get his new album Open Book! It's hott.
Peace out & GB.

- Wow...
I can't recall when was the last time I blogged. All I noe is... it's high time I stopped the pestering and start updating again.
Needless to say, alot of things haf happened within the past... oh... I dunnoe... 5 months ago [according to my previous post]. I mean some of the biggest highlights were like winning the church youth's Best Region Video Promotion, receiving 2 mp3 players within 2 wks [no kidding... sold one away alrdy], and beginning a new semester with new faces around me.
Amongst all the excitement, I still face the struggles of everyday life. God is good through all. Without his grace, I dun think I could carry on another day. Still, It's the trials that always draw us closer to God. It's the heavy rain dat always awakens us to a need. It's always a storm dat drives us to seek a lighthouse.
My prayer was never to be a complacent Christian, but I guess we're human after all. No wonder Jesus said that 'the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak'. I've come to realize procrastination as probably one of the biggest crimes when it comes down to being a child of God, and I haf no idea how long I've told myself to make a change, a difference in attitude towards God. These days, it's juz one day after another w/o any significant progress in my walk with God. Not dat I don't want it to move forward, but the cares of this world sometimes do get to me - I'm not afraid to admit it. Even being preoccupied with God's work has sometimes driven me further away from Him; the recent CREATE Video where I spent more time worrying about it than getting on my knees in intercession for it. No doubt it's one of the many reasons why we ended up being the last in a category which Walter and I supposedly excelled in, but I've chosen to recognise His soverignty in this matter. No matter, I'm pretty elated to know Region A has won the Canvas Art, Vocal Solo and Group categories, which now brings us up to 2nd position on the HOF Inter-Region board. Still, we have a lot of work to do for our attendance.
Souls... I remember like it was ytd when I reached out to Stanley, and thank God he's now faithfully attending another church w/ his gf. Dat was den, but now I seem to haf lost that heart for the loss - all over again. I dunnoe if it's a vicious cycle or wat, but totally am lacking boldness and faith to even reach out to my own coursemates these days. Maybe I'm not prayed up enough to truly deal with them as I've dealt with Stan in the past, even as a friend to them. Even during the recent outreach, I struggle to get some contacts, which unfortunately, wasn't able to get any, despite the 'roadblock' we set up outside a particular sch. As if dat wasn't enough, there was a slight rain before then, and the whole area became like a ghost town.
There should not be another day in my life dat continue in this manner. God, I'm asking every morning dat You break this cycle. Yet, I noe it's more than juz dat rise-and-shine devotion I gotta be faithful to.
Apologies if this post sound v. emo., but I can't help but reflect upon all these esp. since it juz rained in my area. It kind of reminds me how awfully cold I am to The Faith now when I noe I shld, and can, be doing better if I juz looked to Him.
I dunnoe how often I'll check back here. Maybe more often den before, now dat I've jumpstarted this blog all over again after a long hiatus. Moreover, for the sake of my STORY module, I haf to do something to keep my mind working, esp. on my language.
God grant me strength.
Totally encouraged by Pastor Dale's msg today on Performance vs. Presence, which refreshed my memory on performance actually paving the way for the Holy Spirit to move. Dat's how I looked @ it. And when we dun do well, sin ends up crouching at our door, and we haf to master it.
It's been a pretty long time since I broke down @ altar call. There was something different in that short but powerful sermon. I guess God wants to bless, as Pastor Dale would have it said.
Alrite, I shall stop my ramblings here for now. Need to touch up on my Earthworm Jim animation b4 tomorrow's lesson, and work on my singing for the mini-musical [arrrggghhh... juz less than 5 days away]. Thank God for today's most fruitful rehearsal. At least, I got to hear where I went out of tune so I can work out those parts.
Peace out & GB.
