Secondhand Serenade is a acoustic rock group from Menlo Park, California. The band is made up of John Vesely, born on the 10th of November, 1980, who sings and plays guitar and piano. His music is characterized by multitrack recording so he can create the sound of a band by himself. He uses the multitrack recording to create vocal harmonies. and a lead acoustic guitar over strummed chords. He has a wife named Candice and a son named Jake.

That shuld be enough. and Secondhand Serenade is ONLY ONE person. Credits to Wikipedia for the bio.


Genre is Acoustic/Rock/Emo which i think is Emo only. Overall every song is about the same style(almost. but not entirely.). Only End is not worth downloading cause its practically End of the album so its NOTHING. So download it if your not gonna go emo. and a fan of emo songs.

Highlishgts: Maybe , Half Alive , Your Call(It will gradually becomes boring) , Vulnerable(His hit single)

the rest. didn't really listen all yet.

2) Jenny
3) Happy Birthday
4) Addicted to Me

10) Long Way To Go
11) Mary Jane
12) Empty

Once Again
*Note: You Might Not Agree With Me*

1) Good Day

Hoho...Old Album I Know. Overall almost all the songs are nice. Except for 4. I'll take my chances , friday night , resign and lies. I'll take my chances sounds like the song Jay composed in Raise Your Voice. And as he said. the melody nice but the lyrics sucks. i gotta agree with him. so its just an ok. friday night? ok also. not much to comment. Resign and lies. is a no no! waste of time , space and it goes on.

Highlights: Good Day , Angel To You(Devil To Me) , Time Machine

That's all i gotta say for this album.


*Note: You Might Not Agree With Me. *

Okay. Since most of you knew that i went to Sabah for the Scounting Sunrise thingy to celebrate the 100 years of scouting by climbing up to Mount Kinabalu.

Well, gonna be honest here that i'm not a gr8 updater. So i'll try my best to make it interesting(if you guys do actually read it) and easier for you all to understand.

Ok. I Flew from penang...on i forgot what day was it. sorry. if i'm not wrong it was on sunday. oh well... typical flight.

Across semenanjung.

Across the ocean.

few minutes into the flight:

Oh dang. My head hurts.

Head hurts during flight = Can't sleep. so poor me had to suffer for the whole trip

so well...i finally rejoiced! when we landed.

and so checked out from the air port...and the next thing u know.

we had to wait for 2 freaking hours for our transport to come and fetch us to the scout hq.


The Run Down Scout Hq
















The run down hostel that i had to sleep in.














So now. That should be most of it for the 1st day in Sabah.

Now Moving On

Sleep early. and woke up early. due to 6am the sun is high up and bright. then replied msg..and went back to sleep.

oh well..woke up and was suppose to go to the Sabah National Park in Kundasang in the morning. Guess what? had to wait for the Selangor Boys. and in the end we went there in the evening.

So here's pics so i don't need to type thousands of words.































oh well...love the clouds..and i do apologize...unless u love seeing a straight road high way like which u can see almost everytime u leave pg then i'll put the pictures. other wise enjoy the clouds that penang can neve have..or sumthing like that..heheh

and half way up Kundasang. It rained!
















This was all you could see...we we're going so slow..o.0














and later on..go ahead...try to see the road...

oh well. as we go higher.the temperature drop more

and i was in my very thin clothing.and it was chilling to the bone!
















last attempt. to snap a picture with 9 degrees temperature.

btw..the light up there is the national park. and yea..long way to go.

so reached the national park. sorry about this. no picture.it was dark. and i ran out of bats...hehehe

so the next day. the upacara to take the flag
















i'm the only one looking at the cam! hah! with i don't know what kinda face/expression
















group photo! of the climbers from semenanjung. 2 from penang 3 from selangor + 1 adult and the rest is kl. except for the fella with the tongkat. his the head of this climb.

so what's next? after the upacara? the climb! so we all got rdy. and headed for Timpohon Gate!















all heading to the Timpohon Gate!














a closer veiw.



















don't ask me...i know i look funny.and that peace makes me look ultra funny.(*note it was cold even tho it was bright)














just enjoy the veiw from the gate. its nice isn't it?















and i played with the camera..same picture..just darker..heheh

so the climb. it was a 6km journey at 1st. it was torturing! mental rather than physical tho. well the mind is a bad place. hahaha

so nothing much. din snap any pictures cause it rained..and i didn't have a ponco(rain coat) so i was all soaking wet...T.T

well reached up there. and had dinner. Rm 18 for Fried Rice.Hell! then a briefing. and i pop a panadol and went to sleep.

An Important Note. Temperature was 5 degrees when it rained...you should know i was shaking and my hands and legs were numb...heheh

so woke up at 145am. and got ready for the hike to the summit!















fun note. look at the temperature..9.6 not too bad right?

so everyone starts their journey. its just a climb.it was foggy during the climb at the rockface.so i was lucky! i can't see far ahead. so i don't have the mindset of we're reaching but oh noes. still a long journey!.

so...reached 8km mark. sat down with a reporter. i forgot which paper d. and we look to the east(sun rises there right?) and saw the donkey ears peak. it was two peak. and the sun rise beside the peak. with the clouds...it was one of the nicest view i ever saw in my life. but sadly NO PICTURE... u gotta see it for urself(if ur lucky. readers, u'll know later on!)

so then. *horror music plays* the clouds start covering the sunrise. and the view didn't last long.and really really strong winds and heavy rain came! but i still continued the journey.

Picture of me at the pic. which i don't have. ISHK! been waiting for that picture.

oh well..so hurried down. and took a few pictures.














take 1. obviously i was looking at the other camera.















take 2. hurry! i can't hold this any longer! gives a expressionless face on a 3 degrees summit. XD
not exactly summit la...but near there lor.















the less steeper part of the rock face. steepest is 45 degrees?














well..all that heavy rain and strong winds...made waterfalls on the mountain. its like everywhere..and 1 wrong move u could *gulps* die. oh well...the weather up there is random.so if ur lucky..it will be a nice weather. hehehe...

so well..i took a wrong step. slipped and my toe..hit a rock. *yells ouch*

so bared with it. till i went down. lucky my friend helped me take my bag. it was soaking wet.and he puncture at around 4km cause both leg cramp. so he slept there at the rest place of course.

so reached down htere... and check out my toe!















well..it was like that at 1st..it slowly turn black..now the nail is out!

then reach down stairs. so we(the climbers) had congrats , photo session , autographs(JK) and of course good bye.











































that's about it for the scouting sunrise

well...went back to hostel. rested.next day went out with cousin on tour around sabah. heheh. had ngau chap. went to karambunai resort to look around. that should wrap it up

oh well..flew back. and that's all.

till next time.
