Keepin' Positive

So it's been 4 months now since my life virtually turned upside down, and I finally had a revelation today... well, to be honest, I've had a few already but somehow kept falling off the wagon again and again. So what makes this time different? Absolutely nothing really... but as a friend of mine said, each time you fail, you come back stronger.. so I guess what makes this time distinct is probably because I now have the wisdom to actually try and keep positive in hope to sustain this energy.

A quick recap? Well, I broke up with my girl of 5 years.. need I say more? One broken heart is all it takes to have your soul diminish into thin air.. making you pretty much a useless human being. But hey, keepin' positive right? It was probably for the best. Due to matters that were beyond our control (Hint: Stupid Prehistoric Laws of the land!) we never really did have a bright future painted for us... I'll just leave it at that though. Somehow a debate over constitutional rights is a sensitive issue in this country.

However, I'm pleased to inform you that I have not been totally useless these last few months.

I have recently started a company with my previous boss (who is also a dear friend) specialising in Music Composition. It was rather odd to have an opportunity emerge out of nowhere that suddenly sparked a whole chain of events that has lead to the establishment of the business... but that's how it is. So what was the opportunity? Producing songs for children Television programs. Okay, so it may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it gives me the chance to gain relative experiences and develop my producing/engineering skills rapidly. Plus, the money ain't something to complain about.

Unfortunately, sacrifices had to be made and hence the 'even-further' delay on the release of my songs. For weeks now, between working on multiple jobs for the company and struggling to handle my personal life dilemma, I simply have not had the time (nor the enthusiasm) to even consider moving forward with my album. But hey! It's time to be positive now... and since things have quieten down a little, I'm ready to start again.

I plan to post 3 songs by this Weekend, though the original plan was to post 4. The 4th song - Eh Oh (I Miss You) - is not ready, and I doubt it will be for a while. Due to its 'personal' nature, and because I'm in the spirit of keepin' positive, I don't think it's wise to dwell into the emotions that the song requires at the moment. Fret not, for one day I will be strong enough to complete it.

So what else is new? Gym! That's right. This slightly overweight beer-bellied boy is on his way to looking like a Popstar again. I've been going religiously for 3 weeks now and let me tell you that years of abuse to my body is not easy to repay. However, having combined my workout with careful dieting, I believe I've lost 1-2kgs already... Can't really confirm it as I don't have a weighing-scale, but I'm assuming so cause I can finally fit my old jeans again!

I really gotta give a shoutout to my homie Jack Yeo for getting me started. He came over to KL for a visit and shocked the hell out of me when he came out the arrival hall all buffed and sh!t. Thanks mate! You're my inspiration. LIVE-STRONG!


So I think that's about all the updates I got at the moment. 2 more days and you can finally listen to what I've been rambling about. You're gonna love it, fer sure! Cocky? Hey, I'm Keepin' Positive here!
