Question everything

warning: the post entry this time might appear to be inappropriate for strong believer.. u might better read other things instead of this. coz I don't want to light any flames.

here we go

well. I like to question things, including beliefs.
Not all of my friend know it, but I am a free thinker. I don't really keep boasting about my belief in nothing, but it might seems to grow stronger.

Recently I often spare my time to watch youtube channel on Richard Dawkins videos which mostly comes from richarddawkinsdotnet channel on youtube. to look at his talks, debate, and interviews.

I do not belief, not because I just do not want to belief. I don't belief because I do not find the necessity to belief, what is right to belief and why should I belief.

every religion talks about faith. but, if you think about it, faith is blind, because faith is not supported by any evidence. I will not blindly belief in something unless I see a clear evidence and reasons on why I should belief in something and stand by it.

many religions told that god created human and other living creature on this earth, in the definition that human in the first place do not have any ancestor as it is created as human straight away by god in the first place. however, science shows that human is an evolution from other creature which is some kind of apes. and as I know, no religion teach about evolution in its holy book.


there are many other controversial things that you can find on the internet, and books. try to open your mind and question everything. seek for the truth. simple question can have deep meaning. just try to look it broadly, is this right? is this wrong? why my belief is right? why not other people's belief? is it wrong not to belief?.
just keep ask yourself question. what? why? who? where? when? how?.

I do not encourage any people who read this to become a free thinker like me. But I hope this post can encourage people to seek for the truth, to ask questions, ask for clarity.

life is a learning experience and learning is a journey. it will be a shame to live your life based on something that supported by nothing or supported by bullshits.

Blabbering

Alright, I written everything last night at foyer, but the internet got problem, so I just save what I wrote to notepad and copy paste it back to the blog today. here we go


4:29 am in the morning.. still in the foyer, with yinyun twins..

bored already and can't continue to study, therefore I am here blabbering on my blog.
Lots of things have been left out from being written on this blog since the last post.
The trip to broga, monash extreme sport carnival, dinner @ steamboat with sunway marketing staff, teachers day events, etc etc

I'll just write summary of some events that I still remember

Broga Hill



its pretty enjoyable, its been long since I'm putting an effort to see a sunrise up a hill. I went there together with novita, oliva, shenny, susan, mega, rocky, rio, and yudi. had a nice morning exercise followed up by decent breakfast.



Monash Extreme Sport Carnival

I performed at this carnival with my new band. MK Ultra, we just been together for one month at that point of time, but I think we performed pretty well.
I've moved from one band to another. namely

1. X-Numb. the band I created during highschool. I was the lead guitarist, after one performance then we disband.

2. No Name Band (at monash with hazique cs). just performed once at monash street performance and thats it.

3. Session guitarist for Justin cs. only for a while during the cns week of music club

4. Session Bassist/Guitarist with Johan and Ivaldi. Only performed once at monash music club gathering night, but we jam few times until now. but kinda rare. btw Johan is the guitarist that made me willing to sacrifice from being guitarist and start playing bass seriously

5. Vanishing acts, together with oliva, mega, steph, and jeffrey. I was the guitarist and we performed once at Monash Talent night 2009. This is a pretty good band, I'd like to perform more with them but just not the kind of band that I will put my 110% into it. Genre differences problem. the feeling is more on playing for fun and experience only.

6. MK Ultra. performed once at MESC. after moving from one band to the other, this is the band that I think I should stick with. however slight changes might need to be done here. not everybody moving to the same direction. once that tackled, I believe this can be a decent band. everyone just need to develop their skill more. Arman need practice on vocal, I need more stamina and stability on playing bass, ziyan need to get a synth and learn it well. and we need a MUSE oriented drummer (jeffrey, I am sorry if u ever read this). if all that things done, it'll be nice. finally I found a non-mainstream band that fit my style, and can bring out the craziness out of me, never in my life I jump around in the studio or stage when jamming a song.
If I managed to get a job in malaysia, I will keep this band together and hopefully we can do some crazy stuff. I think Arman have a great ability and also determination in creating and playing his own music, I want to bet my luck on that. hopefully we can create original songs and start small by playing frequently at Cafe's.

sometimes I think its pretty crazy and silly if I look back at times. All this music and band things is started because of an ANIME. its called BECK. The ANIME is about highschool boys that loved music and his journey on creating his ultimate band and music. Looking at the ANIME, I was moved and feel like to have a band on my own, thats when it all start. of course with further influence from MUSE, inspirational people like flea, and some friend.

Teachers day events
luckily  my classes are only on monday and thursday, and sunway having teachers' day event on tuesday and wednesday for two weeks in a row. so there are totally 4 day of teachers' day celebration.
sunway invited around 200 teachers from selangor area.

because the event do not clash with my classes I managed to join all the event and helped out. In return, in all 4 days I had 4 different meals in sunway dining room which all are very nice. My favorite is the beef steak, and the tiramisu dessert. yummy. more events like this please. :p

I realized that I am the only student helper that join all 4 teachers' day event. so lucky.

at the last day, there are some extra little pot plant to give out, so each student helper can get one. I take one and give it to Shenny since Novita said that she must really liked it.

Recording
recently I try to record a song. using sonar 8 producer, I am trying to do an amateur home recording. but its not easy as I thought, but I am trying my best.
having headache working on it sometimes, as I had writers' block all the time. I do not not how to connect the instruments and vocal so that they make one nice flowing sound. what I have now are notes that sounds ok individually but did not work properly if put together. I hope I can overcome this soon. its killing me

Swimming
redang trip coming soon on july. I can swim but not very well. I only can swim breaststroke and I really think I need to learn freestyle. so far I managed to swim back and forth at condo swimming pool 6  times, but of course with some rest interval and using breaststroke. I want to improve my swimming ability and able to hold longer breath, if I managed it I think I'll have some pretty nice snorkeling experience later at redang. its gonna be fun.


all right, thats all for today. for my friend that is bored and got nothing to do and end up at my blog, I hope u enjoy what u read. haha.

cheers.
gotta go.
