Christmas

Hi to all addicted readers of my blog.

Christmas, this year, was pretty much different.
Its the first time I have celebrated overseas in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
In fact, I think this year's Christmas is pretty much special to me.
You know who you are uh! :P

Well, in Vietnam, I learn that they don't have a public holiday for Christmas.
It is kinda crap, i meant f:-)king crap. Their main holiday is Chinese Lunar Year.
Oh my god.
Yesterday, 24th December 2008, I had sort of "celebration".
I went to this Cham Charm to eat buffet.
Apparently, it cost USD$55.60++ per person. Don't worry, this is being paid by my boss's dad.
They have a wide varieties of food. They provide Japanese, Vietnamese and Western food.
The dinner was pretty okay as we have free flow of red/white wine and champagne. I didn't drank much of that though, perhaps, only 2 or 3 cups.

Afterwards, we went back home "quickly". The reason i quoted, quickly, was because that the trip last about almost an hour. Seriously, the traffic is HOLY DAMN. As we know that Vietnam won Thailand on aggregate 2 - 1 for the first leg in the Finals of Suzuki Cup, some crazy (or i should call it patriotic) fans who ride on motorbikes, carried Vietnam flags around. They wave from the left to the right. It seems like some kind of riot. Those people caused a major traffic jam. I was seriously pissed off. I hate those people who caused such unnecessary jams. That is why, my Swiss colleague said that there are so many reasons why you should leave Saigon. He hate the place that is overwhelmed with f:-)king motorbikes (i swear i teared when i'm on the road due to excess carbon monoxide), uncivilized people who doesn't obey the traffic, corruptions in officers and dusty streets where no one bothers to clean it. But the good factor about Saigon is the stuffs here are DIRT CHEAP!
In retrospect, I think such places can't stay for long. I guess my life has been cut down by 10 years when I stayed here for 4 months already. Its a living "hell".

Next, when I reached home, I went to bath quickly and went out with my colleagues. They brought us, on motorbikes, to go a church. The decorations are not that great but it was alright. After on, we went to have a beer and food session. Drank about 4 bottles of beer and all o us called it a day and went back home. On the way back, my colleague let me ride the motorbike. Haha! This time, i think i'm kinda good at it already! : )

25 December 08, go to office at 10am. Watch paranormal state on youtube all day till knock off. I went home by motor taxi. Then, i went to bobby brewers, a Starbucks "look alike" cafe, to have my dinner and mint choc blitz alone. Around 10pm, I went home.

So you see, my Christmas ain't that nice after all in Saigon. But that someone reading it made it special to me! : P

All would have guess how would my new Joint Jam #5 fare, I would tell you that it will definitely be a blast and whole new change in it. ; )

Ciaos from boring Saigon.

Happy Boxing Day.

A heart of a DJ

Songs must be

Commercial
Easy to listen
Easy to understand

This is what a friend of mine told me about his deejaying experience.

It took 7 months for him to gain that crowd factor where the "feel" of crowd is included.

With this information, i think i gained a lot today. I shall strive for my dream. It isn't possible but it's up for me to make it happen.

This is part of a conversation that we chatted about,

Now, i understand more about it. Thanks a lot my friend. : )

You!

Have a fun and safe trip in Bali alright. ; )
Mentally, I'm there. : P

Each day passes, I am just one step nearer to home.
Every minute passes, I just make sure that you are always happy.
Every second passes, it just shows how long I've been missing about you.

An important mail

It might just be a normal mail, but you know it means a lot to me.

Sometimes, i know i really fucked myself up badly.
All i wanted to say are the truth.

I don't know what to say now.

Saving up like a crazy maniac now!

An eventful night

Yesterday was pretty good. Everything went smoothly as i thought it would be. I went alone to Allez Boo for some food and drinks. I met up a guy from Australia. His kinda cool. We chatted from 7.30pm till 2am.

When we went upstairs for some music, we met another 2 guys from Israel. Its good to hear from all these people. I gain a few experience from them. The 2 guys from Israel were in the army last time. They went for war 2 years ago and one of them, Elad, told me that he does understands more about man. He said about the appreciating of life, which i definitely agree on it.

I got my Joint Jam #4 played in Allez Boo after i asked the manager and dj about it. After their discussion about it, they agreed to play that song from my mobile phone thru their computer. Well, at that moment, i felt . The reason is because they play it in the public and its a so-called "club" (i do think its like a pub, oh well.). The dj stops the track at The Anthem because i think that maybe the crowds are not dancing to it.

I reflected on my mix. I think that my track was played at a wrong time. He played promiscuous girl before that which i guess its a "high" song (i meant about the feel). For my mix, i adapted a concept of "low to high" feel. Well, i think i will work on that again. :) I promise to make better jams for new releases. I failed on crowd factor, not transitions of songs. The guy from Aussie, Bart, told me quite a lot of stuffs and i learnt something new as well. For one sentence he said, my transitions are smooth and good, but we must listen to the crowd's "needs and wants". I'm glad that i met him man.

I think that we should never ever give up easily. In life, there are failures and success. We just have to work our failures more to make it successful, thats all. :D

Alright, got to go by then. Take care guys, peace out.

Thats about all. Enjoy laughing. Haha!

Getting bored by the life and work here. Everything seems to be mundane chores for me. Waking up at 7am, go to bath and work. After work, I come back home for dinner and stayed up in the room till the next day i go to work again. This has been on-going for 3 consecutive months already. I would rack my brains, hard, everyday to think of what to do or spend time at.

So, can i go home now? NO

So, when can i go home? 24 January ?

The m0+h312=uCK1n4 lecturer dont reply my emails. I only asked for a freaking 2 weeks in advance to return to Singapore and is this a very very very demanding request? What the fuck?!? i stayed here for like 4 months and a half by then already! Those lecturers must definitely come here to stay for 5months and see how it feels like. I think it feels like a jail.

im so damn sleepy now. Okay, sleeping time starts now in the office!
