Vanessa? Who the hell is she?

Posted by + Suresh + on Sunday, June 13, 2010

Hello readers! :D

Right,I bet you loyal readers got this weird feelings with this introductory of this post because that's not the usual "Suresh" kind of style,right? :) Don't doubt yourself,you're currently at http://theredhalf.blogspot.com/ Fact that,another blogger is here to somehow pollute & make some noises around. Well,I am going to be your entertainer for the day! :D(blame Suresh if this post didn't turn out funny because he'll do all the editing & stuff so yeah)

Ps/ Please leave those grammatical errors alone because we're not sitting for any exams right now right? :D & I apologize if my English is too horrible,excuse that too.

Let's start off with something shall we? & if you found that you're not well entertained by the end of this post,sue me at http://vanessalsf.blogspot.com/ Nyehhh,I was just joking? :P

So I'll start off with introducing myself,yet another boring introductory but please don't skip this,because you wouldn't want to. Teeheee.

*insert a picture of myself*

Well,I won't want to scare you readers off due to my "oh-so-pwetty" pictures because Suresh will haunt me down if his amount of readers decreases like nobody's business. Be curious people,just imagine my appearance will do. Nyehhhh. (Suresh just gave me that "meow" sound effect,so cute) Hahahaha! ;D

My name is Vanessa Lim Siu Fun,& you can call me Vanessa. They said: Do not judge a book by its cover so yeah,don't judge me. Somehow,you'll find it hard to judge me & Suresh knew the reason. :P I annoyed him most of the time (in a good way okay?!) & he enjoyed being annoyed by me. How wonderful. Suresh,I am praising you okay so please be proud of yourself. :P But I have to say,Suresh aka big monkey is an awesome friend to me. I thank God for bringing him into my life(as a friend). Seriously,he helped me out a lot,in every ways. :) No matter in studies or something which involve my personal life,indeed,he helped me a lot by giving out precious advises which yes,I truly admire him. & sorry big monkey,your small monkey here always annoys you with her lame jokes & all.

But I received great feedbacks from him. So if you do not smile at the end of this post,I am a totally failure. :P So I beg you people,smile okayyy? :D & you better leave some comments saying that you want Vanessa to own this blog. Muahahaha! You people better missed me because I wouldn't know when will I be having the second chance to update this blog because once this blog entry is published,& once Suresh the big king kong is not satisfy,so yeah,bye bye Vanessa! :P (as though Suresh is an evil man)

*oh no,I am out of jokes* (:O

So anyway,Suresh is not what you thought okay? Well,the loyal ones should know but I bet those passerby(s) wouldn't know so yeah. To me,he is like my brother who guides me basically in everything. Someone whom is precious to me. King kong,I know you're tearing so please get some tissues for yourself before you go any further. Hahahaha! Or perhaps king kong is very angry right now. Imagine his nose coming out with smokes & his hair are all up. Omg! Perhaps too much of cartoon? :x But well,don't you people feel 10 times younger while reading this post? Or am I just fooling myself around? (:O

Basically,I wouldn't have much to elaborate since that big king kong is nagging & curious to find out how "sweet" I am right here so yeah. Perhaps if I have a chance,I'll come back & annoy you people again alright? All you have to do is to leave a comment telling Suresh this girl is so annoying & you want her to come back & annoy you people once again. Hahahha! :D I am annoying,in a good way.

So I guess that's the end? Til then,I'll come back someday. Reminds me of this song:

Somewhere,over the rainbow,sky are blue. :P


Bye folks. :)


With love,

Vanessa.

The International College Of Music Proudly Presents: The Final Friday Performance

Date : 7th May

Time : 4.00pm - 6.00pm
Venue : Recital Hall, ICOM

The Final Friday Performance began many years back as a get together sessions for
the students to perform on stage. Competition amongst students were at its peak
back then. Everyone wanted to perform. The culture evolved overtime and became a
Tradition. Performances grew. The attitude of the culture maintained. The
International College of Music maintained this and now, every semester, Friday
Performances are held weekly to select a winner to perform for The Finals- known
as The Final Friday Performance.

So for this semester, 9 musicians will be performing on stage. All from different
backgrounds and influences but with 1 commonality, their passion for music.
These musicians are Irma Seleman, Feri Lau Widjaja Bong, Jesica Yap,TerryTim,
Eugene Yeo Yu Chuan, Cliff Wong, Kelly Phoon and Khoay Vern Hanz.

To further introduce you to the young musician that will be performing,here's a lil introduction on them


Hey Everyone, How you doing?
I'm Irma Seleman from Penang. I'm a vocalist. I do R&B and Funk. My singing and
music style is influenced by great R&B vocalists and musicians such as Chaka Khan,
Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, Rachell Farrell, Marcus Miller, Incognito and many
more. I am a self thought vocalist who listens to mostly Pop, Malay Pop, and Rock.
I was introduced to the music world by my dad. He's a part time musician. When I
joined ICOM, I realized that I had just stepped into a whole new world and started
listening to other types of music. Now, I relate myself more to R&B and Funk.
This how I express myself the best, through my music and also by doing covers. I
sing a lot for public gigs in cafes or pubs. I've also done a lot of weddings and corporate events too.

Title of Song to be performed : Getaway by Earth Wind & Fire
Genre of Music : Funk



Hi,
I'm Feri Lau from Indonesia. I'm an all rounder bassist but my main interests are
more towards Fusion, Funk and Jazz . I am a self taught musician and began by
playing the guitar first. Later I moved on to playing the bass when I entered Farabi
Music school and by the time I was ready, it was 2007 and I came here to ICOM to
further pursue my studies.

Berklee Transfer Program.

I also play a little piano on the side.

I am Cliff. I am a drummer and i enjoy performing as well as studying music here at ICOM.

What really moved me in to music was pretty much my father, with the collection of old records. I was exposed to music since childhood, with old records of my father, from Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and to Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin. My father influenced me in a way there were so many genre of music that i could enjoy too. At the age of 12 or actually 11 during the middle of december, i was first exposed to the drums. My Father had an idea of wanting a musical band where, my sister sings, me playing the drums, my brother on guitar and my dad on the bass.

Title of Song to Be Performed : Summer Rain by Hiromi Uehara

and organ lessons
when i was five and have been brought up in a strong musical

I hardly remember what inspires me into music actually. But somehow
my family
members used to tell me that I was already playing the piano myself
since I was 3
years old. I used to play by hearing all the while, and somehow I
started writing my own melodies since I was 11 years old.
So come down here this Evening and lend you support for these young
talented Musician.
While relaxing yourself to the beautiful piece of music they are about to perform

Photo shoot Outing At Desa Park City

Posted by + Suresh + on Tuesday, May 4, 2010

Greetings peeps!!hope everyone's having a good week so far :D

Alright a couple of weeks back i planned a photo shoot outing at Desa Park City,nearby Kepong..with Evon being my Model for the day..Since the weather has was pretty hot,we planned for a morning shoot to avoid looking like burned chickens!!

It was my first outing doing a shoot since getting my EOS 450D in January..YES!! i'm still new to the world of Digital Single Lens Reflect(DSLR)camera...

The view across the lake at about half past 7 in the morning

The first shoot was done at the jogging track near the lakeside..trust me this place is quite beautiful with the smell of fresh air from the cold breeze makes you feel so much freshier!!

Focused more on Evon to make her more outstanding compared to the building's behind

The effects of the background was good..looked more like a wallpaper behind..
but i assure you..it's beautiful mother nature at it's best!

One of my personal favorite photo from the shoot..it gives a sense of calmness
while sporting the sense of relaxation..

Nature brings out the beauty in you

Apparently she was sketching me out in her book :D

The vision to see the light that shines oh so bright over us

Time and time again..photos best describe the emotions that surround us,untold,unwritten
but certainly unforgettable

In the eyes of an idealistic daydreamer

The gift of nature brings two closely

We set goals to achieve our dreams,for we know it brings out the best in us

Visions & Motivations will only make one stronger!!

Reading a book shares a thought or two with us,reminiscing the path that life takes us too

Behind those young innocent eyes lies a secret,an achievement,a story!!

It was a fun shoot nonetheless and a lesson learned a photo tells a story by just having a look at it,but memories from a photo brings back priceless memories!!!

Life has it's ups and downs but always remember from those ups and downs
a valuable lesson is learned and it only makes you much more mature and stronger!!

On a note It's not all about click click here n there..but it's about angle,settings and precision

Good Day =)

Greetings! :) I obviously do not belong here,neither am I the rightful owner of this domain. I strongly doubt that any of you would know who'd know who I am in; heck lets just see if you can recognize a similar or particular style even if I'm not exactly where I'm supposed to be. To be very honest,I'm not exactly sure if I'm suppose to write more about myself or the author.


Take a seat back now. :)

I've always wondered how would it be like to throw yourself out to be in a place where you're often exposed to chances of being judged for what you write,and most importantly about your personal opinion in things. There was this one point in time when I did feel a tad bit upset about how some of the many things that I've written sort of threw me into this dark corner where people don't quite agree with what you think. Well folks,thats one of the downside of being a blogger. Its all about finding the essence of making you what you are, the person and the individual that you portray to be; and everything else shouldn't really matter. :)

A friend spoke to me the other day,lets name him Tornado wtf.

Tornado is probably one of the few people I know who's so capable of doing it all, having things set out in manners which only an extremely capable & strong individual can pull off what he does. He sees the future in his hands; trust me my vision of future is a far cry from what he sees in his. Something admirable, some larger than dreams itself, that sometimes its too much too handle.


We all have our dreams, some to marry a rich husband and wishing that he dies young to inherit his wealth to travel the world wtf. Some to own an empire so huge that money ends up working for you. Some to be the most famous person earning all the well deserved fame living life in the fast lane. Some wishes to marry his or her perfect other half,have kids, grow old and pluck each other's grey hair on a rocking chair.

There are some,who wishes to just be happy.

Nobody realizes the value of happiness because its something we don't measure; or rather the scale differs according to every individual. Happiness is something that money can't buy, and even if you were to put up with an argument that money can buy happiness; I'd gladly tell you that there's a whole new level to what happiness truly is about.

I've once had it all (not that I've lost it!),whether it is the money that grows on trees, the most expensive bags & apparels, the spending power and frankly, I have it all. Then as the years passed,I'm only twenty-one; that I realize that when you finally have it all at a young age; you realize that all those materiality are merely impermanent happiness. When I got caught in all my desires and apparent dream, I nearly lose myself in it.

Some build their lives through the past; usually end up in circles.
Some build their lives through the present; usually in denial.
Some build their lives through the future; usually end up losing everything important.

So what do you build your live upon?

My humble suggestion, to build your live around all three of them. :|
The past to remind you of how you get to where you are, the present which teaches you the importance of appreciating what you have, and the future to get you all geared up to held your head up high towards your dreams. I'm not exactly the best example,but I'm a living proof that you should never give up in the things that you believe in; even when all else comes falling down on you.


Its all in the phase of growing into what you'll become,and nothing is impossible. I'm pretty dysfunctional in someways,but I'm sure we all are in our own ways. To my dearest friend Tornado, some sacrifices might turn out unnecessary. Its not everyday that you find somebody to love,who loves you in return; the clock does not tick its tock backwards.

Hope I didn't bore you,and I'm honored to be here. :) Not gonna post a back link because this is obviously not gonna be an advertorial opportunity; just given a chance to be babble my thoughts here! And if you've figured out who I am, thanks for noticing.Its not everyday that you get to share your thoughts for the sake of sharing them;and nothing else.
Much love,cheerios.


Ellie & Myself

It's a real pleasure having Ellie write on my small space here..She blogs at Missycheerio.com..Here's what caught my attention the most after reading her blog for the very first time..Her method of writing able's you to feel the message she's trying to convey simply because it's very descriptive and it also reflects the emotions around it.Thus allowing one to feel the message like as though they were right next to her..Awesomeness!!.& at the moment Missycheerio.com is under maintenance but do drop by Ellie blogs frequently as she updates pretty often compared to me.. :D

Have an awesome Sunday ahead peeps!! =)
