I'm Joel Mo Jiaming. Born in 1986, 22nd July. Speaking about birthdays when I say 'it's alright' or 'anything's fine', don't take my word for it. What I really meant was 'get me ANYTHING nice and expensive, it's FINE if you get broke, I don't really care. Hah. Kidding duh.
Occupation? Defending Singapore from the scum of the universe. I rule the battlefield with my trusty telephone! NO COMMS NO WAR! RAHH
I believe in JESUS, the one true saviour. No witty comment needed here, cuz just mentioning his name is already oh so cool.

Now YouTube has this new revamped cool-looking media player. Nice.
Anyway today, I've seen the best Goal of the season already. Absolutely amazing. Lets show you some 'Football Manager'ish screenshots to show you how magnificent this goal is!!
Yes, so the guy at the corner has the ball, and he looks up, sees his choices and decided to whip a cross in. BUT! Oh... He whips it in with his left foot and he added too much curl on the ball. He thinks to himself 'Oh crap, what a bad cross.' AND THEN!!!!!!
Here you have it dear folks!! A Joga Bonito wonder goal by yours truly. As you've seen the keeper was to stunned and rooted on the spot. Poor poor keeper, poor poor Justin. =P
Call it tyco or whatever. A goal is a goal and I'm claiming it. Hahaha. Yup, that's it then. Good night folks. (:

Here's some songs excerpt from Hillsong United's latest album, United We Stand. I know it's a little late and all to do advertising for them since like almost everyone has the cd already. Haha. This is for those sua kus who don't know nuts about this new album.
It's quite nice la. Don't let the choppy video and bad sound quality deter you. Buy the ORIGINAL cd today, and get a free dvd! STOP PIRACY!
Yes yes I know, quite strange to see me so pro anti-piracy. I feel guilty can? Wahaha... =P

I'm turning my blog into a media blog. Innovation, re-inventing. Gotta keep ahead of the pack you know? Hahaha.
I just added in a song, it's on the right somewhere at the top. It's by BECK my favourite band. A cover of the beatles - I got a feeling. Really nice. Go listen (: Then we can go jam that song, and lionel can do all that funky basslines. Hahaha
Here are 3 videos for you to enjoy. (:
Beat Crusaders - Moon on the Water One of the many songs featured in the anime 'BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad.' One of my favourite songs by BECK. But there's just something about Japanese people who don't know a word of english and yet try to sing english songs. Haha.
Beck - In the End Someone created this Anime Music Video and I thought it was really well done. Kudos to the one who made this.
Dream Theater-Erotomania (Live) Dream Theater simply rocks my socks. So pro man.

You're Beautiful
My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I'm sure. She smiled at me on the subway. She was with another man. But I won't lose no sleep on that, 'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by. She could see from my face that I was, Flying high, And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.

Idol predictions This post is video intensive, so it may lag a little. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Based on performance, I think Pickler should be the one to go. She was simply awful tonite, but of cuz that would be difficult to say cuz of her huge fanbase. Haha. So my pick would be Ace, he has been in the bottom 3 for a few times in a row now so it's time for you to go buddy.
My pick for the bottom 3 is Ace Young, Paris Bennett and Kellie Pickler, with Ace Young set to go. The Man with the Midas Touch has spoken. (P.S. :: Not that loud-mouth pig, mourinho.)
Now Matt up for this challenge? You could win your 10 milos back. Haha. (:
Now time for some Joga magic! I'm going under intensive training man, come next baptism I'll be able to do all these tricks and more!! Everyone say JOGA BONITO!
And here's one to tickle your funny bone! I hope that guy has balls of steel man, or else I'll really pity him. He really defines the term 'no more father's day'!! Hahaha...

I figured it would be a waste of my time and effort being so angry about the money. It will never return to me no matter how much I whine. Anyway, I should honor my parents I guess, even if I feel it was unfair.
So I gotta rework my buying plan, buy what I really need and for the rest of the items I'll have to scrimp and save to get them. Haha.
Oh and by the way did I mention? I bombed my handphone bill yet again and my allowance got cut to $30 a week. Tough times are coming, tough times.

I AM PISSED!!!
I just got my pay cheque today, suppose to be a happy thing right? But my mom found the cheque and she's taking my money away from me, depositing it into another bank account. WTH MAN. You can cut my allowance for 3 months, or whatever cuz that's your money, you earned it so I don't care. But do not take away what I have worked hard for during my holidays. I'm never going to work part time ever again if that's the case. I don't see any point in working so hard and not being able to enjoy the fruits of my labour. I hope you are reading this and realise how pissed I really am.
Bullshit.

Jonga Bonito was the word on people's mouths today. Play beautiful soccer. On the courts, dribblers are kings and divers are thrown into the pits!
I overhead flicked Titus and Sam Goh 3 times, I'm the jonga master!! And I oled Zec! Technically an ole = getting the ball inbetween the opponent's legs right? Well. I just forced the ball in between Zec's legs with 2 of my team mates harrasing him. So that counts right? Hahaha.
Sustained 2 injuries. I think I pulled a thigh muscle and I got my chin kicked by Xue Xin. Man, that was just nuts. The crazy cylist's crazy leg muscles connecting with my chin at that moment when all I was thinking about is "JONGA JONGA JONGA!" But I recovered and continued on with the Jonga spirit.
Overall baptism was fun. Enjoyed it.
Finally tomorrow, I will re-join the eternal battle against the omnipotent evil entity known as "school". Wish me luck comrades and don't miss me if I die.

I went to the HollaBack Crew competition yesterday, and I have to comment on The Click Five. Their music is 100% manufactured pop garbage which is alright I guess cuz they ARE a boy band. What irks me is that they try to be rock and fail badly at it, and all the girls just dig whatever they were trying to do. Simply disgusting. Eugenia can vouch for me, she was like 'tsk tsk'ing and shaking her head the whole time. Haha.
The keyboardist's idea of a solo is just ramming his finger (with both hands) as fast as he can on just ONE SINGLE KEY and then doing that sliding across the whole keyboard thing that lionel always do, over and over again.
The drummer's solo was just a 16 beat roll over like 2 bars on the snare only and then hitting the crash. How exciting.
Can't remember how the bassist and guitarist solos sound like, but I figured it wouldn't matter anyway. But the girls dig it all. -____-
Just when I thought I wouldn't be entertained by this huge farcade, something amazing happened. The lead singer was singing this song and then he asked, "I know you Singaporeans can dance and rap, but can you all SING? I'm gonna sing the verse and I want you all to continue singing the chorus for me ok?!"
Then he burst out singing the verse. When the chorus came, there was total silence. Then the band started playing again, abruptly. HAHA! That was like how embarrasing for them, that was truly the highlight of the entire Click Five performance for me, but that set me thinking.
Well, I may be wrong, but you see, things ARE this way. From what i know about Singaporean music fans, they work like this.
-You hear a song by a band( somewhere, like on the radio, for instance.) -You like the song. -You probably listen to that song over and over only because you like it so much. -You don't really care.
Fans around the world are quite like this. From a interview with Billie Joe of Green Day, he says that in Germany, where they last played, the "fans" sang along to songs like American Idiot and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. But, when the band launched into Basket Case, he could see the lost looks on the faces of the fans. He says that it felt good for American Idiot to have helped them break into the German market, but I know, deep inside, he knows that the German fans aren't really Green Day fans, because any decent Green Day fan would know Basket Case. Hell, I even know people who don't listen to Green Day who know how Basket Case goes.
Same thing for most Taking Back Sunday(TBS) and My Chemical Romance(MCR) fans in Singapore. Most of them probably've only heard Helena and I'm Not OK(I Promise) and A Decade Under The Influence and This Photograph Is Proof(I Know You Know). The hell. I'm really sure they haven't heard songs like Cute Without The 'E'(Cut From The Team) by TBS and Skylines and Turnstiles by MCR. Or even know that the current TBS line-up isn't the original. Or even know that MCR had an album before Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge.
So smarten up, "fans". At least if the girls look pretty and gave off an intelligent vibe, I would have believed that they were a fan of at least a few decent punk bands. Oh well, as they say, close, but no cigar.

I've discovered a new hand sign today. Simple yet sophisticated. Elegant and sleek. It covers a wide spectrum of situations and encompasses all emotions. It is the very defination of what a man should be. I've discovered a new hand sign today. And it has changed my life.
Lieutenant Mo at your service, knock it down.

Yes! I got it right! Bye bye Bucky! Next week, it's Ace's turn. Haha. But I'm surprised that Elliot is in the bottom 3 instead of Chris, maybe it's cuz Chris already has his huge hardcore fanbase that's dailing his number no matter how badly he sings. Haha.
Sorry Matt, 10 Milos. Haha. =P
And I found a pretty interesting but long article about Kellie Pickler, this will surely spark off some pretty intense stuff on my tagboard from matt and justin. Haha.
Her performance yesterday was just so-so I thought, and a rip-off from one of the best performers in American Idol history! Constantine Maroulis!! Go check it out yourselves, even Simon Cowell said he was astonishing. Have you ever heard him say that?! Never. Now go watch this and agree with me that Pickler pales in comparison with this amazing guy. Haha. Ciao~!

Long time no blog. Now for my Idol predictions!!
*Drum rolls*
Ace, Bucky and surprise surprise!! Chris!! Will be in the bottom 3.
Ace and Bucky sucked. For Chris on the other hand, not that he was lousy, it's just that everyone else was better. So that's my pick for the bottom 3.
And who's gonna be eliminated?! Of cuz it's gonna be BUCKY!! I hate the guy with a vengence. Haha. He will be struck down by my hand of midas!!! Bawahahaha!!!!!
Now who wanna take my bet on bucky huh? 10 Milos!! (:

If you never been to the bottom, you can't get to the top. If you never been to the right, you can't get to the left. If you've never lost hope, you can't understand what is truly important. I've gotten out of the hole of hope.

I need all your prayers! Oh my...
My module registration is in 3 days time, and I have 6 modules left. Please pray that I'll be able to squeeze in all the 6 modules in this semester so that I won't have to do another semester next year which would suck big time.
I admit it would be quite a miracle if I'm able to squeeze all 6 modules in a 15 week semester, a normal semester would be around 4 to 5 modules. But I believe with God all things are possible. So please pray!!

Long time no blog. I think I'm gonna abandon this blog la. Haha.
APRILS FOOL!
No really la. I'm gonna shut it down or just let it rot. Heh. Or when I get the passion to blog again, then I'll blog again. Heh.
Been going thru some tough times, then I remember the verse of the year I've chosen last year for 2006. Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"Ecclesiastes 12:1
Anyway I've been working and I need to have a plan when I get my pay. So I'll just write it down here to remind myself. Haha.
Metal Drumsticks Normal Drumsticks Training Drumpad Shirts A pair of Levis
Yeah... That's it. I gotta get the metal sticks and training pads as a priority man. I'm gonna master double stroke and triplets and all that kind of cool stuff! Yeah... Gotta improve my drums. Or else I'll just be stuck at this level like forever and ever and I'll just die. Haha.
Well. Bye guys. Can't think of anything to say. Haha. I really wonder how I managed to like blog everyday in the past. It must be nuts. Heh.
