Woohoooo!!! Final exam’s over. Finals for the semester is over! Holiday aka my good friend is here for 2 freakin’ weeks! xD

I took 5 subjects for that semester:

• Academic Reading and Writing 2
• PC Hardware 1
• Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
• Client Operating System Administration

And my personal favourite:

• Web Designing & Publishing

Lol… Yeah it’s my favourite alright. I have 3 years plus of experience in website designing and publishing but I have to say that I’m still not entirely good at it.

Here are ratings for my experiences.. Haha.. (5 stars the best):

• Simple website with basic HTML codings *****
• Simple layouts *****
• Integrating Javascript ****
  (i dunno how to write javascript from scratch, i normally just google for those.. lol)
• Advance CSS *
  (haha..no idea)
• Integrating Database (such as MySQL) *

And lotsa stuff which will take me quite a while to think of. Hahahaha… XD

Ok whatever. Now back to my topic.

So since I’m free now, my band members came by my house to jam after for so long! The last time we had a jam session was almost 3 to 4 weeks ago.

I didn’t even warm up before we started off with the song “Black Night” by Deep Purple! And I got a sudden cramp! Haha…

We had fun though. The guys will be coming again today and they said to go fishing at the back of my house before we jam. (Yes, I have a river behind my house, adjacent)

Oh yeah, another thing is, I’m moving to another house, i think by this week (hopefully!).
I’m currently staying at a detached house and I’ll be moving into a condominium which is like 10 times smaller! (exaggerating it..hehehe..) Lol.. But I like it coz I’ve been staying at a detached house my whole life and I figured this time is for a change.

A short 10-minute film for my friends’ college project. They did an edited version of theirs to hand in to their lecturer and I did a better and detailed version to share to all of you! So, here’s mine.

Filmed in a total of 4 days, average of 6 hours a day.

Wasn’t using a proper camcorder so the video quality isn’t that clear.

It’s not really perfect as it has some minor glitches. Ignore that. Lol.. :p
But overall, I got good response from my friends back here where I’m staying.
So now I need you guys all over the world and YouTubers to comment.

I apologise for mistakes and will definitely improve on the coming videos! xD

Full credits and bloopers at the end of the film.

Please do rate and comment. We really appreciate it.

Dang! It has been a looooong time since my last post.

No wonder I haven’t been getting new visitors to my blog! Hahahaha…

Anyways, here is the list or rather a brief message or whatever you can call it.. Lol… :p

* * * * *

3 weeks ago

Did my first simple house music track, in class but not during class. haha… Finished with everything in 2 hours. The final result HERE.

* * * * *

2 weeks ago

Finished off a hardstyle track.

Melodies and “skeleton” of the music was by a friend of mine, DJ Noozey.

And the extras (sounds/stabs, deep bass kick, effects) by me.

The track is then titled:

DJ Noozey & DJ Charlton - Q700 Is My Style

And….I created a hardstyle track, an anthem for the shuffle crew (THA Shufflers) that I’m in. It’s titled:

Charlton Gomes - THA Shufflers (The Hardstyle Agentz)

Click HERE to listen (It’s in my MySpace page).

~OR~

Watch this video that I’ve edited below. Featuring some of my friends in THA while promoting/announcing our new Name (we were previously known as HSA), Logo, and our own Anthem!

Enjoy the video…

Be back for more blog posts..

It was a Wednesday noon.   Right after my morning class 9AM - 11AM.

Played bowling at Centre Point with my college friends (Nooz, Fray, Mel, Zuan, Nick, Athirah, Eryl, Jaff, Wan, and 2 others whose names I don’t know. lol..sorry.^^)

We had fun.  Especially me, I guess.  Haha..  Cos’ honestly, I’ve never played bowling before.  NOT EVEN ONCE!  I have to say, I was quite OK for my first time.  Hehehe…  Thanks to Zuan for teaching me.

Zuan, Nooz and I were in one team, playing in one lane.  We played 2 rounds.  Quite addictive really.  Mel, Nick and Fray too was in one team and played their 2nd round.

The rest only played one round.

Shoutout to those who never played bowling before, “Go Play!”
It’s really fun!

—–>

After that, most of us went back to college for our next class at 2PM.  The others went back home.

Last 2 days, which was a Tuesday noon, my friends and I went out to watch “Ah Long Pte Ltd” at Growball Cinema, Centre Point.

It’s a Singaporean movie. Below’s a trailer and summary of what this movie is about.

====================

“ Ah Long Pte Ltd is a light-hearted black comedy about the triad world and the money-lending business. The movie takes on a humorous and sarcastic treatment on the underworld. It depicts how a young lady, Li Hua (Fann Wong) tries to restructure her money-lending triad into a professional and ‘loving’ triad that stands against the use of violence after she takes over from her triad leader (Richard Low) who retired. Her various restructuring plans (which are no doubt very creative) bring about hilarious results.

Li Hua tired of her mother’s constant nagging to get married, she finally relented and proposed to Mr Fang (Mark Lee), an effeminate dance instructor cum image stylist. Surprised to many and even herself, Mr Fang accepted the proposal. The unusual union, despite the misfits, soon blossom into love. “

It’s a MUST WATCH film! Really damn hilarious! LOL…

Yes. The title says it all. Haha….

Before I start, let me introduce to you my band members who was present.

Date: 10th of March 2008 Time: 5PM - 10PM

• Kenneth - Keyboard/Guitar/Vocal
• Janice - Keyboard
• Shannon - Guitar
• Royston - Bass
• Charlton (that is me, hehe..) - Drums
• Alvin - Vocal

The members absent were Christopher (guitar) and Ally Ron (guitar). It was Janice’s 1st time to be with us. Janice is Kenneth’s younger sister who plays keyboard very well just like her brother Kenneth. ;p
Ally was with us last year but replaced with Shannon as he was busy working. Christopher did join us last year but only for few days cos’ he had to study in Kuala Lumpur. And now he’s back to do practical.

Jamming Session * * * * *
It has been almost three weeks since our last jam session. We had planned to have jamming sessions every Sundays. But for the past 2 weeks, either one or two members couldn’t make it due to some reason. heh….

Anyway, we got to jam on the 3rd Sunday! Yeay! Lol…

So, the hilarious part that I want to mention is, our singer, Alvin, was confused with one song’s chorus and verse’s tune/key. I think we played that same song over and over for almost 5 times before we could finish of the whole thing. Hahaha…… It was damn funny! Too bad didn’t have that moment recorded on video. Huhu….

Oh, another part is, when we supposed to start a song, but somebody just got “itchy fingers” and couldn’t stop playing his own instrument (in other words, syok sendiri), and I would just beat the hell out of the drums to get their attention. Haha… When I first did that, all of them just stopped talking and making noise and just stared at me for a few second and then started laughing.

Well, other than that, we had fun!!!

HARDSTYLE SHUFFLE!!!! Make it hard!

I’ve upload my hardstyle shuffle video on YouTube last night (4th March) .
So, I decide to update my blog by sharing my video with you guys.

Here’s the video. I’ve also used my latest new hardstyle track “Late Nite” in this video.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey what’s up?

I’ve produced my first Hardstyle track. It’s my first attempt creating it. So you can say i’m not that experienced enough. But before i did this track, i searched and browsed the internet for tips on creating a nice hardstyle track and i came up with MY best.

You can check it out HERE. I named the track Late Nite.
Oh yes, it’s also available for download. And you can share it with your friends! Hehe… Thanks for your support!

Thanks and enjoy.

Do you believe in UFOs?  Well, I believe.  …and there’s a reason for me to believe. No questions asked. =p

My dad had an encounter with one of their “spaceship”.  It happen about 10-20 years ago when he was residing in Australia.  He said he saw this red and green light.  I want to explain it in details but the time doesn’t allow me to. Haha.. How lame. (I might update this post)

Speaking about UFOs, I saw this video from Yahoo! about a week (or so) ago.  Then I quickly copied the link to show all of you.

Here’s the link (it’ll open in a new window):
