It's New Year again? Yes,time flies

it's Jan 3,2010..had barely good sleep..woke up at around 4:30 after another night of thrash,get a nice warm shower.prepare a cup of tea (Indian Ceylon's Tea which apparently the cheapest u can get in store),throw some garlic bread in the oven along with some processed beef.
so i got 10 minutes before the garlic bread's ready to be served.sitting alone in silence,turned the tv's off,music's off,readin some anonymous blog i could find on the nets(how their writing relate to my life remains somewhat unexplainable)
i couldnt think of anythng good but the timely-cliche- that-become-necessary-new year' resolution..it's the 3rd day of 2010 and there's still no sign of me executing any of my resolution.
so im keeping this log,just so i could see any change in the near future.
Oh, i presume my meal's almost ready,which means i'v to go to the kitchen i shared with 7 other strangers-for -now,ima stop this post here







this is marshall,and i wish everybody another prosperous year ahead

and here's the rest of the image captured by our lenses

no tittle

"End of something is a start of something new that is far better and grandeur.up to this point of life i'm proud to say that i'l never regret the life i chose for me,the path i take,i learn as i experience it.and in years to come,it'll bring me somewhere good.to think of the past,convinced me to be even more thankful for that made me the person i am today.my advice to me was put the past away,forget em' and dream about tomorow.For what it worths,im gonna treasure the life before me "

just like simon cowell,i have my say too ^^

For today and last few days,this song has topped the pirdaus chart,damn it's undeniably great song,i just cant rest assure in comfort of life without listening to this.not only it sounds so sweet and comforting at the beginning,but towards the end,the song develops into sth so meaningful and encouraging.something that gives emotion a new hope,it's sort of feelin u'l get if u have the chance to exprience enya in philharmonic hall when u r down and hopeless.it is invigorating beyond nature can tell.The song went thru complete methamorphosis,must say.i just dont know what it is,but it's when u like something so much,u want to listen to it,u wana be it,u addicted to it,uhh
regardless of what others might say,they just dont matter to you.

just for the readers to experience the magic,i'v posted the MV here,but
#rule 1:get a set of better speaker(ie:Harman Kardon Series)
#rule 2: get a pair of premium quality earphone,if u dont have #1 (ie:sennheisser series/high end sony/etc.)

neither above,u can commit suicide. (^_^') kidding kidos

turn bass on,volume up,sit back and enjoy,ther you go,hav a good time folks ^^




ps:the name is marshall
and thank goodness for this caught me now,if ever i knew it much earlier,i have probably ended up somewhere in seoul,not europe.

Morning of June 25, 2009 in Holmby Hills,Los Angeles.
the last breath of the true idol,ultimate performer's news shocked the entire world.
I was unable to rest asleep upon reading the news at 5 in the morning
cant stop the tears',he is undoubtly amazing person
whose music and life has effect the world tremendously.

Your music is timeless

Eventually ,gotta call this:mine. ^_^'

Music has been part of us since our younger years,of which we'v all goin through,grew into the person we are today.In a discrete way,it helps in term of emotional growth and lots more.It occured to me that it is time for me to play my music instead others' played it for me.sighs.it kinda late but behold,it's never too late ait.


few-week-research on acoustic guitars,nights with less sleep,day with much efforts ,unconditional visit to the local music store,thank goodness,the were all being very kind and handful of suggestions and demos which in turn very helpful.Demos since couldnt just yet try maself which's better,but I can tell which sounds better.Reviews on the net,stacks of magazines and catalogues ( courtesy of ot),these have had help me a lots.

figure 1: Musik Rimmel ,Kempten Music Store



I wanted my guitar just to be enjoyed and playable until my intermediate stage,( to dream of being profesional might be beyond reality,but will work on it).I wanted one with distinctive quality,sounds better, and the least looks nice.Dream on John Mayer's signature Martin OM-28 remains dream as is far to expensive in term of my current financial state,and definitely maybe till the near future.

and I'v gotten maself Walden Guitar,cool I must say,I mailed the artist who plays walden,and the responses seem encouraging.End up getting one online.To my greatest dismay,complication arose,when I got a guitar costs double of what I'v booked: Walden D550CE .But it's all taken care,and just yesterday I eventually gota call it's mine.woot,It's just the beginning of .. (^_^),
My hope:it's gonna turn out just well.




the name is Marshall.
time to play my music

a great gymnastic display

a great gymnastic display I must say.I was cycling after getting my business done in the local bank at town.couldt agree more with my intuition which told me to cycle thru the park.it isnt big as the Hyde Park,in fact it is so small you could cover the wholle in just minutes.but the sense of direction was immensely concentrated to this route.better still,the calmness and welcoming sort of feeling is really one of a kind.
So off I cycled thru,with my best track randomly played on the mp3.right in the middle,there's a small pond and lil' fountain and a young mother with her baby in the chart was stopping by to feed a sweet couple of tame ducks.

I did stop too,and to my suprise,these two ducks performed a staggering gymnastic display.even their movements were never synchronized to the song I was listenin' to,but those alone were great.personally,i'v running out of metaphor to describe their nice acts.But I did capture the moment,so here they are in my harddisk,will upload it later.

Another beautiful day of spring,I'ma off to jog with the star in the making within a couple of minutes and play ping pong afterwards,hope u folk enjoy these photos.catch ya later.




the name is marshall,
uh,whatever,it's surprising
