Good ol' times.

Been browsing through alot of old pictures lately, and I found this photograph. We all look so different back then don't we? My god, so much has changed ever since. Both the in and out. Something I could look back at and feel good about. Good that I have so many pictures that I can reflect on, laughing back at all our faces when we were much younger. Something, we're going to keep doing in years to come as well.

Children of the War

Mara Salvatrucha 13

I've seen documentaries on the MS 13 (Mara Salvatrucha) gang before, it was once aired on television. If I'm not mistaken, the National Geographic. But they have an even more proper and detailed documentary called 'Children of the War', also filmed to show the lives and activities of the MS13 gang members. If you're not familiar with it, the MS 13 is known to be the most violent gang the and fastest spreading gangs in the world. The total accumulation of the gang members, worldwide counts up to 100,000 individuals and still grows rapidly everyday. I didn't think there is another more sophisticated version of documentary than the one I've seen before, so now I'm really eager to look for the 'Children of the War'. In good hopes, I'll be able to find it.

This is the typical Mara Salvatruchan gang member's appearance.
Alot of them though, are look just like an average citizen.

To know further about the MS13, log on to Youtube, it's quite a reliable source providing these documentaries. Be sure to find a lot of shocking insights about the group there. Totally reminds me of City of God. Just 100 times more powerful!

Sticks.

The three drum sticks I've been using so far.

Have not tried Vic Firth's yet, but so far I'm really comfortable with the Vater sticks.

What's a part of me.

I think I've already passed the stage of recognizing a friend to be a true friend, and just another person you know. And I'm more than glad that true friends does things that surpasses other friends. It's not about merely knowing what a I like or dislike but coming to really understand me. Every single thing down to my thoughts. Everyone has flaws, I do have a whole lot of em as well yet some people sees passes it and not only accept me but also taking the time to talk to me about correcting myself.

Everyone has their close circle of friends I suppose, and I thank God for mine. I cherish you guys man. One of the best parts are definitely growing up as individuals, encouraging one another to what we thought was wrong and right. What is okay not to do. What and who we are. Rather than just another gathering of people, having fun. Fun can be very beneficial, but having fun in certain ways I don't agree to, ends up being a waste of time. (and it a lot of cases, money) It makes a lot of difference to me. I learned to set my priorities right, taking advices from these wonderful individuals. Of course I'm still learning, and will always do until I leave Earth.

Yensun moved to the Saffa cluster in Desa ParkCity. Quite a whole bunch of us were invited to go look see. The food, was great! Once again, a post that doesn't say quite much but another one that's filled with photos you don't want to see. There. Ohyea, have a good time in Melbourne Yensun! Don't know whether I'll actually go there during my break. Most probably I'll go there and Sydney. KuanShen says the skiing is a must-experience. Thanks for the invitation, we enjoyed it.

Only have these two in the meantime. It's so irritating that my last 3-4 posts' photos are taken from cellphone cameras. It's so horrible. But expect a lot more of these blurred, out-of-the-frame pictures.

Dream from God.

Just noting this down for myself, to reflect and incase I have forgotten. In the morning of 26th January, God has given revealed to me a dream, that interprets and something happened on the night of the day itself. Building's foundation was shaken, collapsed and I've survived it. Truly a great dream, that lets me know the difference between a normal dream and a dream from God. It's a start now for trials in my life. Listen and be still.

Just the ones.

What turned out to be a 'surprise' for me. It was a nice night though. Just the couple of us, having an awesome dinner serving. Thanks for the night guys, it was fun. Wasn't the biggest, most expensive one, but again less is more in this case.

So rare and difficult to get pictures of my closest friends ever.

This time with Lovey.


They're the most out spoken people I've ever known.
I guess that's the reason they're the closest to me.


Can't stop talking.
