my so-cold so-called life

music: i heard she said - sodajerk
mood: happy new year

it has been a pretty interesting year for me.
where can i start? been to two countries this
year, i was in hongkong to attend the consumer
electronics tradeshow and i was fortunate enough
to go to australia for the hillsong conference.
the latter might probably be the most memorable
event of my year.

i also quit my job and had a new one. still in a
telecoms service provider but very different in
responsibility and scope (and not to mention the
schedule). the story behind my hiring process is
hilarious, miraculous and glorious. i wish i can
share it but it is rather personal.

carnival park broke up. after five years of rounding
up the indiepop scene, we (well, i) decided to call
it quits.

bought a new effects pedal for my relatively new
electric guitar. bought three new sets of strings,
and had hundred of picks and a strap as a gift (thanks
kay). but i still can't find myself that elusive acoustic
guitar pick-up.

mum celebrated her 60th birthday. elisha turned three.
i turned, well, next paragraph please.

shelflife records closed. buzznight wasn't the way it
was used to be. apple orchards released some wonderful
songs. there's the tribute album for the eraserheads and
a barbie singles compilation (thanks tin). chris tomlin
released a studio and a live album. delirious? also had
a new album out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

p.s. the title of this entry just popped in my mind
after remembering sodajerk's song "i heard she said"
in my head. sodajerk is also a song from buffalo tom
and buffalo tom once guested in my so-called life, a
series starring claire danes. as to the so-cold, well
it is here in the office. brrrr...
