Earthquake tragedy
Today(Boxing Day) at abt 9am, an earthquake occured in Aceh, Indonesia... besides initial casualties from earthquake... the earthquake n subsequent aftershocks caused tidal waves dat wreaked massive dmg all around the surrounding nations... M'sia included... although not as bad as India(thousands...) it's still shocking, cos' M'sia has never experienced a natural catastrophe as bad as this before... i've never actually imagined disaster could strike so close to home...even ppl in Taman Desa n in Rawang could feel the tremors... gosh, dat's like so close to SP...

christmas eve
every year, there comes that special season of the year when we remember what it means to love and be loved once again... to relive memories of the Past, look forward to hope of the Future and celebrate the gift of the Present.
Christmas is the season for giving and forgiving, christmas is the season when we learn that joy doesn't come from getting, but from giving...
most of all, Christmas is when we remember Christ's gift... :)
A Tale of Two Christmases by Jim Smith
It is the worst of times. It is the best of times.The Christmas you have depends upon you.May you be blessed to follow the Light and choose the right.
A Christmas Poem
C is for Credit Cards that make buying a breeze.
H is for your Headache when your cards are seized.
R is for Remembering everyone on your list.
I is for feeling Insulted when your gifts are dissed.
S is for feeling Stressed when you're on the fly.
T is for the Truckloads of presents that you buy.
M is for your Massive debt that soars into the sky.
A is for the Awful feeling that you've gone astray.
S is for your Sorrow and the tears you'll shed today.
The True Christmas Poem
C is for the Christ child lying in a manager.
H is for the Holy One who saved us all from danger.
R is to Remember Him who died that we may live.
I is to Inspire us that we may always give.
S is for joyful Songs and sacred hymns that praise.
T is to Thank the Lord for showing us the way.
M is for the Miracles that bless us each day.
A is for the Almighty who always puts us first.
S is for the Shepherd who guides us on earth.

need...want?
Hebrews 3:13
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery.
But today is a gift... maybe that's why it's called the Present."
How are needs different from wants? Aren't needs the same as wants but for the fact that needs bear greater consequences for not being accomplished as compared to wants?
I've been wondering about needs and wants lately for some reason or other.
I think it began while i was working in Bee's, n i often wondered what would the consequences be if i missed a certain a program in church.
I'm beginning to believe that there're actually no such things as needs... anything can be forgone so long as you are willing to face the consequences.As such, i don't think that going through life there isn't really anything you NEED to do.
"Don't wanna eat? then go hungry-loh..."
"Still don't wanna eat? then sooner or later u get sick or maybe in the end... death. Which taken in perspective.. is just another consequence of life..."
I think it's more meaningful to go through life driven not by needs, but by wants.Wouldn't it be better if we did what we do not because we didn't want to face the consequences of not doing it, but because there's a desire to do it.
like...wanting study not because we'll fail exams, but because by doing so we please our parents and God(uhh, i still find it hard to believe its possible to like studying just for studying's sake)...
or like... wanting to meet up with friends not because they'll be hurt if you don't go, but because you want to see them...
or like... wanting to go for meetings(boring..-_-) not just to make decisions n stuff liddat, but because u get to see God at work in ppl's lives...
or like... wanting to go to heaven not because we don't want to go to hell... but because we want to see God's face.
Carpe Deim, Seize the Day. Find something to aim for today, tomorow and the future. Not because you have to, but because you want to.

yesterday i was studying in the library(aih...-_-) n suddenly i felt like drinking water...

*ok-lah, the above few sentences are quite crappy...
anyway, i was feeling thirsty. so i went up to get a drink... IMU library is designed in such a way dat when u climb up the escalator in the library to go out(non-moving escalator!? @_@) u are able to look at wat ppl r doing in the library com lab... n i saw Thomas :)...and i saw Thomas... Thomas was in the com lab... and Thomas was using the computer... and Thomas was...
*uhh... today really crappy-lah... something's quite wrong with me...
so, actually Thomas was viewing my site while i was passing by... for some strange reason, suddenly like got pressure... cos' i realized i haven't updated... n also suddenly like quite happy... cos' got someone viewing my site... wahh...
on the other hand, Thomas asked me wat 8tv n ntv7 means... hmm...n i realized dat not many ppl will know wat the title of dis site refers to... uhh, i'll probably put up a column sometime soon explaining it...
on yet another hand(3 hands alredi),.. Summative Results are FINALLY out... in an hour's time... trying not to think abt it... more den 20% failed...

superman
i can't believe i haven't posted this song yet... it's 1 of my best liked songs...
wait... why am i in the first place posting all my favorite songs??
uhh... hmm... anyway, i think it's a bad habit i picked up from mei...
but hey, nice songs are meant to be shared :)
Superman- Five for Fighting
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
The better part of me
I'm more than a bird...I'm more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It's not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I'll never see
It may sound absurd...but don't be naive
Even Heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won't you conceed
Even Heroes have the right to dream
It's not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
Well, it's all right...You can all sleep sound tonight
I'm not crazy...or anything...
I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
Men weren't meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me...

choice
i was just thinking over stuff after doing devotion this morning... and something i learned during my time in Bee's came to me, which i hadn't remember till now...
No one can force you to do something you don't want to...
So i asked myself, if i had a choice would i want 2 change everything i'm going thru now... No, because i realized through it all God had been there carrying through. No, because it is through trials that faith is strengthened. No, because.. because i choose the life i'm living now... because i chose to take up medicine knowing full well the costs it would cost me, because i choose to make the friends i have now.. whether for better or for worse... Because I Choose To.
we all have but 24 hours to use in a day... Carpe Deim, Seize the Day; Know what you want, See it and Make it happen. In what little or much time we have, how useful or meaningful we make it is up to us.

restart
it's been quite a while since i last blogged isn't it?
this week everyone's off to youth camp... so staying in sri petaling is kinda lonely, i'm almost imagine this is what being "left behind" after the rapture is like... hehe, definitely not nice :
anyway, i'm back blogging...
i can't say i don't sort of miss the guys who're in PD now... daniel, jinqfeei, mok, joyce... my sister.. the house is really quiet... and every now n den i keep thinking of all the fun they're having in PD...
but on the other hand...i can't say that being "left behind" in s/p is a totally bad thing...
in fact it could be the best thing that's happened to me this year...
from Ps. Bernard's sharing last saturday, i've realized i made my friends the centre of my world... not exactly a bad thing in itself, but when u consider that when i begin to place friendship above God, now that's bad... a bit like an unhealthy addiction...
but i've realized now... that above all else, God must come first... friends, relationships...
it's also comforting at times, cos' when u've got a friend that doesn't treat you that nicely, and u realized that the most important person in your life, God.. will always be the best friend you could ever have...
it also helps bring things into perspective cos' i realized i've started to focus to closely to the closest people around me that i start to lose focus my other friends...
hehe, like a bit serious rite? ;P... sommor first blog after so many weeks...
on a lighter note, last week i had ice-cream... something i haven't had in a really, really, really LONG time... doctor says ice cream is good for the brain :)

sick
i'm calling in sick today...i think i slept like almost 12 hours last nite...

hopefully this sore throat clears up by tomorrow...
i can't stand sore throat.. it makes your throat, uhh... sore...

Good rain
it rained today...
the past few weeks have been quite trying...
first i had my accident, then my dad had his about 3 weeks ago...
last monday my grandfather(father's side) had a fall and fractured the head of his left femur...
it rained when i had my accident... it rained when my dad had his accident and the day after that when we were trying to collect his stuff all over klang...
rain hasn't been good for the past few weeks... until today...
the first two times i visited my grandfather, i couldn't explain it... but it really hurt to see him lying helpless on the bed... all of a sudden i felt really tired, and i really wished i had someone to just call up to tell everything... how difficult it is having to put on a face and pretend like nothing is going wrong... having to be smiling all the time...
today i visited my grandfather... and it rained..
hehe, my grandfather walked today... i'm really happy now :)
and it rained... :>

readers
ok-lah, this may seem wierd to u, but when i first started this blog, i never actually thought of dat problem bcos' i started off with the assumption that nobody would regularly read my blog... except maybe mei n william... so, hehe, this is is actually quite a pleasant surprise to have at least 3 regular readers :)
thanks for reading regularly, although my life isn't exactly fun and interesting... thinking about that, then i'm really wondering what keeps u guys still reading??
but thanks :)

holiday over
hmm... this week is gonna be busy n wierd...
i'll be rushing back n forth from church to IMU because i'll be helping out in the morning n den after dat got classes...
i think God is sort of transitioning me out of church life in Canaan... cos' VBS is something like a "fixture" in my life for the past 10 years... same like christmas n other stuff... but i realize dat when i start Internship n practicing i won't be enjoying the same holidays n all that... so i'll probably won't be able to help out in VBS n enjoy Christmas the same way i used to soon...
i feel like i haven't posted for a very long time aldy... but yet, the last post was last wednesday... wait.. that was 4 days ago... okay, it's long..

holiday
i'm actually on holiday this one whole week for Raya break...
I have to admit... i'm really wasting my time... let's see: I've played computer, gone online, gone cybercafe, watched movie, have lunch(uhh... lunch as in, outside wif frens)... the only thing yet to do is study... haih, just can't get down to doing serious stuff...
on the other hand, yesterday i was in MidV, taking my mum and sister to see the Body Adventure thingy... dat wasn't the main thing for me... after dat we went MPH... i realized i haven't been reading books in quite a while... it's been a REALLY, REALLY long time since i read anything...i can't even find my "Thing's Fall Apart" anymore... hehe, i found a few books dat look interesting... there's this book about Alexander the Great-"Conqueror"... i also scanned through "Dreamer"-about Martin Luther King Jr... it would be really nice to get a book to read, and reread and reread... especially when it's raining :)
oh yeah, i found Chinua Achebe in MPH too... heheh, although i read a lot of times, everytime i reread Thing's Fall Apart i still love it...

Petronas Ads
i like petronas Ads... especially the Hari Raya, CNY n Deepavali ads..they always seem to be about kampung frens finding each other again and umm.. yeah, perpaduan.. dat's the word...
the newest one is where an indian guy get's off to a bad start with his new malay neighbours, but finds out that the husband is really an old friend who used to help him... n den in a show of manliness, they hug each other... :P
uhh, dono y-lah.. i like perpaduan ads... give u a warm feeling inside :)

for the first time
i spent quite some time looking for this song, which i all the time had thought was a jim brickman song, but wasn't...and i have absolutely no idea who's kenny loggins.i feel a bit ungrateful..enjoying ppl's song but dono who sing it :P
For The First Time- Kenny Loggins
Are those your eyes, is that your smile
I've been lookin at you forever
But I never saw you before
Are these your hands holdin' mine
Now I wonder how I could've been so blind
Chorus:
For the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
I can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin back at me
Now I understand what love is.......
Love is.....for the first time.....
Can this be real, can this be true
Am I the person I was this morning
And are you the same you
It's all so strange how can it be
All along this love was right in front of me
(Chorus)
Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin' this emotion....ever again
But you're here with me now
Yes I've found you somehow
And I've never been so sure
And for the first time I am looking in your eyes
For the first time I'm seein' who you are
Can't believe how much I see
When you're lookin back at me
Now I understand what love is...
Love is...for the first time...
nice song :)

incredible!!
yesterday was Deepavali, so this naturally led to HOLIDAY!!
So me, andrew and hai liang went out togeder... it was really umm, "fruitful":P
let's see, leave house at 9.45... reach Vista at 10. hai liang not yet wake up so we had to wait... and wait... and wait... and wait... until about 10.45 den only he finish bathing and washing clothes..huiyoh, too much-lah...
anyway, left for breakfast all in all only at about 12 we really started looking for stuff to do...
well, when guys go out there isn't really dat much to do... so we watched Incredibles... it's really been a long time since i've watched a really, really good cartoon feature... really too long... but at least this year the movies aren't too bad... there was Spidey 2, Troy and now Incredibles.
anyway, its the stuff after which was a really "useful"... played CC until 6.30.. uhh, means about 2 half hours...
so, we gathered 2 lessons from our outing:
1. when guys go out we spend MUCH MUCH less den girls...
2. hehe, it would appear that studying medicine isn't stressful at all...
i may yet live to regret that 2nd statement, but as it stands now... yeah, like dat-lah :P

doctor
i learned something today...
okay, actually i learned alot, but that's not the point...
ok, i'm rambling...
i learned what the title Doctor means... it doesn't mean healer, it doesn't mean helper, doesn't mean physician or anything u normally would associate with doctors and physicians and the health care service...
Doctor means "to teach"... i found this really umm... meaningful, cos' before going to IMU, i was actually considering going into teaching... so i was deliberating between teaching and becoming a doctor... and i actually more or less thought that teaching was what i was meant to do, until of course local U and IMU results came back and i had to do some reconsideration before finally choosing wat to do...
well, strange... but interesting...i hope to see how this turns out 5 years down the road...

occupied
turns out that this week i may not be as relaxed as i thot i would be...
for the uninformed, i'm studying behavioural sciences for 2 weeks, this and the next after Raya week.
Although not much to study, in fact practically nth 2 study... but a lot of practicals... which means most of my afternoons are taken up...hmm... meaning dat VBS week i really won't be able to even set foot in church, n will be coming back "late" most days...
still, it's not all doom and gloom... got holidays coming up at least :)
and... Chelsea are on top in the Premier League; not that i'm a Chelsea fan, but it's nice to have somebody other then Ars and MU on top...
it would be even better if Bolton strung up a 10 match winning streak to go top :P

hmm...
uhh, ok-lah... these past few weeks i haven't been "faithfully" updating my blog... i'm actually quite surprised that got ppl actually read regularly enuff to complain i don't update enuff :)... it's a surprise, but a pleasant surprise... kinda the feeling u get when, uhh...u wake up in the morning and it's raining... or when you're driving down the road and it's raining, and u roll down the window and suddenly sri petaling is transformed into Cameron Highlands... or when you're just about to go to sleep and it starts raining lightly :)... ok-lah, abit much about rain...
i'm playing too much computer again... i admit my sin, but then nth to do-lah... study, oso study finish... ok-lah, of course more can be done, but then i'm not a nerd(contrary to popular opinion)...aiyoh, it's actually a super ironic situation, cos' the only other thing to do is finish Sunday School reading assignments... so my choices are between reading "How to Read the Bible for All it's Worth" and playing Diablo... uhh, Bible or Diablo?
more often den not i'm playing.. :|
i can't say playing computer is evil, but den... haih, for me once something you do starts controlling you instead of the other way round, den its bcoming wrong... but den i'm only at act II :( it's actually a very straight fwd choice.. do what u want-lah... bt den wat i would really want is to play Diablo AND to play it openly AND to study appropriately enuff... so actually it would be good if i could study n control play Diablo a little bit... why am i talking about this... i'm sure nobody wants to hear about the problems i have playing Diablo... i wouldn't be interested either.. ;)

coming home again
the past few weeks have been wierd, topsy turvy... uncertain...
for the past 10 months i have been battling myself over a sin i'm facing... time and time again i have come face to face with the mercy and forgiveness of God...
about 3 weeks ago, i met with an accident and mercifully survived though it could have been much, much, much more worse...
what is grace?
after my father's accident today i am more convinced of the answer i have discovered..
grace is when you can come home again... when after wasting the father's fortune on profligate living, the son still can come home again...
when after driving dangerously with eyes half closed, God practically carries you back so that you can come home again...
grace is when your Heavenly Father watches over and holds your earthly father so that he can come home...
grace is when after you have sinned, and sinned, and sinned, and yet again sinned... and after 10 months of living in sin, seeking forgiveness and coming before the throne of mercy... the offer made at the first is still the same as at the last... "will you come home again.."
"Is there no one who condemns you?"
"Then neither do I, go and leave your life of sin..."
I have never ever felt so totally helpless in an emergency before... today when i recieved the call from the blessed stranger who helped my father on the road... my mum was out with my sister for lunch... i was alone at home with my grandparents... the red car was still under repair, i had no real vehicle besides my bicycle to go and look for my parents... when i made the call to church, Siewteng and Ps. Chua were out...
i suppose it is only really when you're totally helpless that you know who are your true friends... friends aren't always those that're are laughing with you; true friends are those that are willing to extend a helping hand when it inconveniences and even troubles them; true friends are those who are always ready to call or sms their support when you're weak; true friends are always ready to drop whatever they're doing to pay attention to your problems... those who really consider you as precious...
many thanks to EeWan who drove me to look for my mum around SP, all the way to the Tengku Ampun Rampaiah Hospital in Klang, to panda;) who was the only one who called, to Daniel, MokCK, Jinqfeei for sms's...most of all to that stranger who stopped to help... mere words cannot express my thanks...

Dad:"you want to use the computer?"

...then half an hour later when he does get off the computer, my sister jumps in the chair and i'm stuck with studying once again... hmm...

pain..
wahh.. pain-ah... my feet hurt... i've been playing futsal barefeet until got blisters on my feet...
hmm... this coming weeks promise to be quite tough for everyone but me... hmm, everyone's either busy wif assignments or exams...
joyce got end of sem, SPM n STPM is here, so got one whole bunch of ppl very busy now, e1 seems 2 be permanently stuck on assignments n exams, mei oso very busy n always asking me for ntv7 but never reply mail:)...
on the other hand, last saturday we finally had the 5 in 1 b'day celebration.. it was really fun preparing the presents and food, but really-ah...huiyoh, thank goodness is end of the month... wah, really pokai-ah... i have real reason to fear october now...
umm, i've been visiting joyce's new blog n mei's blog, i'm not implying anything bad, or at least i'm trying not to; anyway, it's something good... i've noticed dat my posts dun generally have much "spiritual" stuff in them... i wonder if that's good or bad?
on the other hand, i'm not praising my family... but i liked my dad's sermon today...
"you don't really know what it means to trust God until you "push the boundaries".."
in other words, unless u put yourself in or face a situation where u have no choice but to trust God, your faith is... not so solid, to say the least...
i was thinking how true this is, especially in an incident last friday...
every wednesday its either nice to come home or not nice, cos' we employ a maid to come in on wednesdays... so its nice to come home to a room dat somebody else has tidied and cleaned for u;), on the other hand... stuff goes everywhere... last week i was doing my book report for sunday skool on wednesday b4 going IMU, n den being smart i left it downstairs... wah, when come home n see the book without the report papers... wah, immediately know what happened... sure enuff kenot find... there was this small voice telling me not to worry n to trust God... but den after spending about half an hour re-messing the house oso kenot find... so after praying, haih... have 2 trust God n go to study...
heheh, friday i found it strangely just right on the table where the book was...
i'm either super-lousy at finding stuff, or God is really amazing... or mebbe both :)
wah, today's blog really very long-ah...

blog
i was sitting here thinking about what it was dat i wanted to blog about...
then it struck me... that moment of enlightenment...(pause here for a moment and imagine a bright light shining around me ala levelling up)
no-lah, nothing big... just dat tomoro no class... n monday also... which gives me a 4 day weekend, which could have been even better if not for the fact that summative is next thursday..which means i'll should be studying on the long weekend, which i probably won'tlah anyway...
heheh, talking about enlightenment, i was on the phone the other day with a panda... and we were talking about enlightenment :) generally among panda circles, when a lesser panda doesn't understand what a greater panda is talking about... the greater panda will ask the lesser one to go to the toilet... of course this leads to the "throne" being the place of "en-light-enment"... which of course, could be taken literally to mean that u get "lighter" after sitting on the throne"... uhh, dun understand all this panda talk? nvm... didn't think any of ya'll would :)
dun worry, just go toilet and think about it :P
forget the panda if u want to... panda's aren't important
heheh, my crappiness level is quite high now :)

studying is boring
boringlah studying; especially when you're going over stuff you already know... playing computer is so much more fun... lately i've been recieving a lot of computer games...
daniel sent me all his classic DOS games.. Prince of Persia, Prehistorik, Cat... haih, all those classic games we used to play when computers were still being introduced...
but den i haven't actually got down to playing any... cos' i'm actually playing Diablo II now... umm.. just killed Andariel last nite, or rather this morning... hmm... summative is coming up, really should be studying more...
den i've lately been introduced to "soldat"... a 2D shootemup game... downloadable at http://www.soldat.prv.pl/
i actually have more "game assignments" to play then homework to do... well, i'll probably continue Diablo II Act II only after summative... b4 that... try, try, try to concentrate on studies...

accident
i had an accident. no it wasn't anything serious, i'm not injured. thanks to mei, jinqfeei n jois for sms, sam n peiyiing for passing by.
hmm...i probably should have let some of u all know earlier, but didn't really feel like talking about it until after i made the police report which was a few hours ago...
anyway, so here's the "official" version...
It was the evening 6pm, of 17th October.. it was after sending jois back home, i was just 10 more minutes from my house... had just passed the Bukit Jalil Golf Club traffic light, was in front of the Anjung Hijau Apartments... and was falling asleep... i know i should have stopped to rest but, haih... i know i'm a reckless driver, and all i could think of was getting back home...
well, i didn't notice the grey merc. which was on the right side of the road and by the time i did, i couldn't avoid and hit his back left corner... damage wasn't that bad... could still drive the car... i thank God i'm not injured and that Sam and Peiyiing just happend to be passing by.. first thought that ran through my mind was that this accident could have been MUCH MUCH worse bcos' if u're driving while u're sleeping anything can happen... thank goodness too that jois or jinqfeei weren't in the car, although theoretically if they were i wouldn't have been falling asleep.
so yeah, that's about it... and yeah, i forgot to take down the car plate no... so that meant that while reporting the accident today i listened to En.Zainuddin talk to me about Malaysians not knowing what to do in an accident while foreigners do... hmm... i promise to be a better driver...
i won't speed anymore and i'll rest if i'm sleepy.. :-... haih, 10 more minutes from home...
i spent most of last nite rolling in guilt and scolding myself for being stupid, but n/eway... wat's done is done...
Remember boy's and girl's... STOP and sleep if you're sleepy while driving!! you're endangering your life and the lives of the ppl around u.

i've just realized i've got an affinity for rain... my favorite songs include, "Raindrops are falling on my head", "Kiss the rain" and yeah... the above song ;) give me rainy days over sunny days anytime..

stuff
hmm... i haven't blogged in the past few days... in total actually 3 days including today...
its not that nothing has happened.. maybe too much has happened...
i used to have this idea of blogging like my life was a fantasy story... where dragons, orcs, towns would be symbolic of certain people n places... i still think its a wonderfully fantastic idea... just dat i haven't really the time to sit down an make one...
i've been sleeping in class for the past two days... i never thought i was the sleep-in-class type like David Liew... but somehow i haven't been able to pay attention during lectures.. which leads me to boredom... and boredom leads to sleepiness... come to think of it, i was sleepy during sermon on sunday also... hmm...
yesterday, the M2/04 volleyball team progressed to the finals after a tense game wif Sem 5... yeah, i sense a victory coming :)... its fun to cheer on your team when you're winning...

No more Malaysian Idol
and the First Malaysian Idol IS...Jaclyn Victor!!woohoo!! you go girl!!
to some it may seem a lopsided victory, to some an unfair competition... i say, let the winners win and let the losers lose... does experience make a person a worse competitor? If Jaclyn Victor was the best, then by all means... let her win.. and besides, the Malaysian public chose her... so she was obviously the most popular contestant... so what's wrong wif everybody's favorite girl winning?
yeah! Jaclyn Victor, The First Malaysian Idol... a title well and truely deserved...
on a side note.. i think its really cool dat Roslan Aziz has indicated that he's staying true to his word and going to sign up Dina.. truely, to be able to reach the Final Two is an achievement to be applauded...
i think to say that Dina was the underdog and that Jac's victory was expected is quite unfair towards Dina.. IMHO, they're both at the same level... can't wait for MI album and Jac's album to come out...2 thumbs up to 8tv, tv3 and MI for coming up wif the best show on Malaysian TV for a LONG LONG time...
the best songs on MI, Jac's "When I Fall In Love", "Tunggu Sekejap", "If I ain't Got You(Alicia Keys)" and "Gemilang", Jac and Dina's "I Believe I Can Fly".. uhh, i can't remember which Dina song.. she sang about two really good ones.. and there's also i think Nikki's "I Keep On Falling" (Alicia Keys)...
on a side note, ppl wonder why i "advertise" for 8tv so much... the truth is... i'm really Gary the IT guy ;)... no-lah, not really... but if 8tv can come up wif good shows, i don't see why i shouldn't praise it.. plus, it's good shows are LOCAL shows... so maybe its just bcos' i'm looking for something local to be proud of.. but wat's wrong wif being patriotic?
haih... after MI, Friday n Sunday nites will no longer be the same...no more Malaysian Idol
*update- Rydee sang Alicia Keys' I Keep On Falling; Nikki sang C.Aguilera's Voice Within... heheh, memory not dat good :P

poetry n music
colder than ice,
harder than steel,
hotter than fire,
crueler than death.
-me?:)-
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
-William Butler Yeats(The Second Coming)-
Poetry n music have this certain effect on you... i'm not a real poetry freak, but some stuff dat're really cun, like W.B Yeats Second Coming can have this "buzz" on you...
at times it feels like when you're listening to a piece of music that's really good, or dat brings back such memories, or dat simply just gives u that "buzz"... quite like wat i get when i listen to my Spirited Away OST...
its really quite indescribable... but u know something good's gonna happen, or is happening...
harder than steel,
hotter than fire,
crueler than death.

cerita polis
i watched the new jackie chan police story today wif hai liang n "his girls" :P it was okay-lah... not drop down excellent, but still quite good.. a typical jackie chan movie-lah...
excellent stunts, rather predictable story-line.. uhh, yeah.. but you could obviously see jackie's getting old alredy... wow, his face is like almost unrecognizable...
so, was it worth the 6 bucks? hmm... a bit-lah... 4 bucks would be a better price...

computers and hogs
everyone's such a computer hog, my dad's hogging the computer, my sister's hogging the computer... heck, even in IMU the com. lab is full more often then not...
i'm wishing i had my own laptop or computer... ;)
continuing on that note, i also wish for a brand new pair of shoes, something without shoe laces maybe, and not made from canvas...
i'm also wishing i had enuff cash to get a new handphone... okay, so its less den a year since i bought my First handphone and i'm already wishing for a new year. but doesn't everyone love new stuff... don't tell me you don't... i never thought i'd say this, but having a camera phone would be kinda cool... Samsung E-700 really looks good even though its kinda old by now...
on a brainier note... uhh,ok i don't really have anything brainy to say right now :P

new month
its a new month... and new month means...
new MONEY!!, new handphone credit!!
yay, i'm freed from the oppresion and suffering of poverty...
last month i literally spent everything i had, down to the last cent... my wallet was left literally empty... except of course for those 1 sen n 5 sen coins...
on the other hand, when u think about it, my kind of poverty would actually be someone else's wealth on another side of the world...

passion of the christ
i watched the passion of the christ last saturday...
i suppose the reviews are true, it was gruesome, but after the movie, a few things struck me...
It definitely CANNOT be a movie for entertainment...
unlike other hollywood movies which glorify death and torture... this definitely didn't...
there was nth entertaining watching a man being literally butchered alive, for no apparent reason... and also to have the "bad guy" escape without any punishment...
which leads to another conclusion...
Christianity is the only religion that depicts a suffering God... no other religion does so...
if there was a movie depicting a suffering Muhammad, u'd get muslims worldwide condemning the movie...
and yeah, precisely bcos' the POC isn't an entertaining movie, den to just watch it just for fun and to have it not make an impact would either render u to the level of the Roman soldiers who enjoyed the torture of Jesus... or to the Jews, who either watched silently idle or supported His crucifixion...
maybe u might think its reading too much in2 a movie... even if u don't believe dat the Crucifixion is a real thing dat happened, i think i does reflect on what u find as entertaining... what more if you ARE a christian...

grandparents
i dun really have anything else to talk about... besides tv shows, n dats pretty boring...
so, heheh... lets talk about my grandparents.. i got 4 grandparents... 2 fr mum, 2 fr dad...
my dad's parents stay wif us.. n my mum's stay in DU...
i actually find my dad's parents quite amusing... especially "kong kong" cos' he has all these funny ideas about how the world should be run... and he always runs in2 trouble wif my "ah ma" bcos' of the stuff dat he does, like falling asleep watching tv, telling her how to cook or do stuff which he doesn't really know about... u know-lah...
this is wierd... blogging about my grandparents...
anyway, i realized last nite, dat after 10 seasons of Survivor... i've finally gotten sick of the back biting and "community" living displayed in survivor... i mean twist and turn as they may, the basic concept of the entire game is getting boring... i mean, every new batch dat comes around basically does the same things, talks about the same things... hmm, i think its time they stopped the show...

I'm a Christian
I'm a Christian
When I say I am a Christian
I'm not shouting I'm clean livin
I'm whispering I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven.
When I say. I am a Christian
I dont speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumbled
And need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say. I am a Christian
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that Im weak
And need HIS strength to carry on.
When I say. I am a Christian
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.
When I say. I am a Christian
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But God believes I am worth it.
When I say. I am a Christian
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.
When I say. I am a Christian
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good grace, ..somehow.

yeah, i find the above poem is pretty meaningful... pretty meaningful... hmm... can't think of anything else to say... really got that "twillight zone" feeling... on the good side, there's Monk today...

stuff
just came back from the last nite of Don Carson... i heard something i think relates 2 the self-righteous comment someone made(not pissed off or anything... just dat it came to mind)...
"Christians are never more then poor beggars telling other poor beggars where there's bread."
what this means of course, is that we as christians should never bcom so proud n think we're better den other ppl bcos' we're so holy... the fact is, it should be seen dat we tell others of what's wrong in their lives not bcos' we've got it right but bcos' we've got it wrong b4... n we've found out HOW to make it right(which of course doesn't necessarily mean we are doing it rite ourselves)
but anyway, i'm still a-wondering who's chairoll n mitosis...
oh yeah, almost forgot... apparently my 1st posting DID get uploaded so i now have 2 of the same post(diff dates bcos' of midnight)... i think i won't delete it... too lazy to anyway...

we just finished bio-chem last week, so wonders of wonders.. we're starting with the nervous system this week... on top of that, it's IMU Cup(sports month of sorts) starting yesterday...
and... from Mon-Wed nite, i'm attending a talk by D.A Carson on Rev. 12-14.. which is quite good by the way... and ofcourse the various distractions that try to keep me from studies... yeah, of course there's s.school assignments which bug my conscience over being just stuck on the cupboard...
i fully appreciate the wisdom of making joyce's b'day present last week instead of this week :)
i hate being busy... joyce is busy wif projek, jinqfeei wif assignments, daniel isn't busy but two guys don't really do much togeder...
haih, bzbz.. :(

sometimes love just ain't enough
i don't wanna lose you,
i don't wanna use you,
just to have somebody by my side
And i don't wanna hate you
i don't wanna take you
but i don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool i keep losing my place
and i keep seeing you walk through that door.
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust
there's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now i could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes i may have hurt you
but i did not desert you
Maybe i just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's no way home
When it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where i used to lay
And there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know its your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough.
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough.
i'm in the mood for songs :) songs songs... what would life be without songs

just the way you are
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And i don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of toruble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you, and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
hmm... actually i'm not really in the mood to talk or blog much now, but i thot of this song, n so decided to blog about it... i think when you're younger ppl are constantly on the look out for new stuff... the coolest thing in town, but i find nowadays the thing i really want the most is for things to stay the same day after day, week after week, year after year... permanance and reliability seem more attractive then innovation and creativity...
oh yeah, i just finished reading the Da Vinci code, by uhh.. heheh, i finished an entire book without knowing who the author was :)..
ok, i discovered it was written by Dan Brown after blogging it...

i loco parentis
that's latin for: "in place of your parents", that's what a tutor is supposed to be, sadly and in reality, this rarely happens...
My IMU tutor is this chun nigerian guy named Dr. Francis Achike :)... i feel really motivated to study now, no really.. i'm serious :P
apparently he believes in such a thing as the sixth sense, ESP or intuition and thinks we should be using it to help us study, but that's not the best thing about him... i think that would have to be his accent... he has this slightly thick nigerian accent which makes some of his words hard to understand, but really enjoyable to listen to... not in the funny sort of way, more of a really chun sort of way :) its kinda hard to explain so i'm not really going to try.

birthday gift
i don't really remember much about today... except for the fact that i literally spent the ENTIRE afternoon in jinqfeei's house wif daniel... the 3 of us making joyce's present...
aiyoh, that was crazy man... wah, first time i actually spent SO much time preparing a gift.
we met for lunch at 1pm... i reached home at a little past 8pm... wah, siao-eh!
anyway, i googled and yahoo-ed "birthday gifts"... i suppose i shouldn't be surprised, but it appears money really makes the world go round... any gift u want to get HAS to be bought with money...hmm, my income output for joyce's gift was practically 0.00 bucks... if u don't count petrol n lunch money... electric n streamyx bills...haha, i'm proud of the fact that i can still come up with a gift worth remembering that doesn't cost a cent! bet that less then 0.1% of M'sia's population can say the same :)
on another note.. yesterday was a dark, dark day for Malaysian Idol.. Nikki got voted out and Jac was in the bottom 3!!:(.. aiyoh, how can... on any given day she's WAYYY better then Saiful, Andrew and even Vick... it's all those darn girls fault who only know how to vote for a pretty face... if either Saiful of Andrew become The MI, i'm cutting my hair bald...

the thing about doctors
hmm... i wonder why? today i met up with a few of ex-form6'ans...among them was Wei leik, who's also taking medicine in UM...
apparantly medic students there although don't get as "bad/fun" an orientation as i got, it appears that medic students wherever they are, are a uhh... dirty minded?; the english dictionary doesn't really have an appropriate word for "ham sup"... somehow studying human anatomy for a living does strange things to you...
which then makes you think about what doctors and nurses really think about while they're operating or checking up on you :)...
heheh, visit your nearest doctor for further clarification...

mourning
"A voice is heard...weeping and great mourning, (Russia) weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted."
Today is the second day of funerals for victims of the Russian School Siege... it's a sad, sad day that parents should have to bury their children.
Theoden(The Two Towers) :"...Alas, that these evil days should be mine. The young perish and the old linger...No parent should have to bury their child..."
Mass funerals while Russia mourns... responses from world press

first lecture
hoho... today was our first lecture in IMU... it was hilarious at best, inunderstandable at worst... heheh, i've always wanted to listen to an Indian Indian speak.. you know those with super thick indian accent and wierd pronunciation... well, i never guessed i would be listening to one Dr. Kumar in IMU. but like denise says, "where do they get this guy, it's like they picked him up from Petaling Street."
30,000 bucks per sem and they can't even get someone who speaks proper english... i'm sure its no fault of his but, uhh... couldn't they get someone we can understand... i'm not sure if i would prefer someone who speaks perfect english but has a killer boring tone though...
*note-denise is my M2/04 batch mate

russia
i didn't have a chance to blog about the Russian Incident, but i found it to be extremely disturbing... especially when Putin said this, barely 24 hours before an all out offensive on the militants was carried out with seeming no regard for human life... although i'm not supporting the militants, i think Putin isn't much better then them...
its truly ironic and disturbing that in this age of "civilisation and modernity", such acts of barbarism and inhumanity still get carried out... which makes you think that in spite of our scientific progress, we've regressed morally...

one week
wow... its been one week...and what a week :)
orientation is over... uhh, on the one hand it was fun(for some reason i find having eggs one my head fun:P) so its kind of a downer that is over... on the other hand, i DON'T HAVE TO WAKE UP EARLY!! finally, i get to wake up at a reasonable hour... the past few days have been totally UNREASONABLE in my waking up hours...
although i remember a long time ago having to wake up at 5.30... haih, nowadays its just a distant memory... even 7.00 seems early nowadays...
hmm... no good,no good... must berdisiplin... yeah right, as if...

Merdeka n stuff
First and foremost... it's Merdeka! I'm actually not a particularly patriotic guy... i don't go round waving flags n stuff liddat... but i DO throw my rubbish in the tong sampah, i DON'T spit in public... uhh, okay-lah.. sometimes i do... but i generally think i'm a law abiding citizen :)
anyway, back to mundane stuff :
i was thinking abt dirty jokes. heh, no.. not thinking OF dirty jokes... thinking ABOUT dirty jokes :P
i've realized dat as we move on in life, we get more exposed not only to dirty jokes but to "sins" of the world. u know, stuff dat used to be wat u thot was definitely a no-no... like sex b4 marraige, porn.. and dirty jokes. I suppose there really are only 2 responses a person can give to stuff like dis... one of course is the easier way... which is to just play along, "everybodys doing it", "it doesn't harm anyone", "don't take stuff like dis so seriously, it's all for fun"... and there's the other harder response.. which is to draw the line earlier rather then later and to raise the standard rather then 2 lower it...
i suppose after 8 months of only interacting wif "goody guys", there's a sort of a "culture" shock when u get back to the real world... and maybe its just a little thing... but i can't help thinking... that if our purpose in life is to bring pleasure n 2 glorify God, does this glorify God or does for my own pleasure...
uhh, contrary to wat it may seem... i'm actually enjoying orientation... it's just this part about the dirty jokes dat get 2 me.. :)

first impressions are decieving
well... talk about how decieving first impressions can be...
after the first two days of listening to lecturers talking(presenting an ideal IMU)
last friday i finally got to listen to the students of IMU, namely my seniors... talk...
well, to say that it isn't exactly ideal would be an understatement...
haih.. and we wonder why doctors nowadays aren't that good.. orientation week is gonna be downright dirty... and i don't just mean physical filth...
aiyoh... come on-lah... so sexual innuendo's are to be the rite of passage from school life to uni life? and i thought that uni students were more matured... apparently not... i mean, if this was in secondary school it wouldn't be that bad... but University students... studying to be Doctors!!
hmm... and we wonder why things in the world get worse and worse...
sin really encroaches all around us... call me naive or whatever you want :, but i truly believe clean fun is better den dirty fun...
post update:heheh, its amazing what wonders a bath can do for you :)... i've discovered dat part of the difficulty i had in deciding to actually say: no i won't do it... was bcos' i was trying to please a bunch of ppl who quite frankly don't really care whether or not i please them and who hardly know me or are known by me... well, that's something off my mind :)

in IMU
the past two days have been the quickest to pass by me in a long, long time...
i can't remember the last time i had to follow a schedule...
well, first impressions of IMU are that the lecturers are boring ;)(what lectures aren't) but the programme as a whole seems pretty interesting what with self learning and all...
one good news i just found out is that i'm potentially free to serve in VBS! but the bad side is that i won't be able to go for any camps this year... hmph... that's a real downer...
IMU does seem like a pretty fun place actually... there's a pool table, foosball, full Astro subsciption, sofas in the student lounge and other what nots :)...
oh yeah, my parents are out of town till Saturday.. YEAH!!

Closing Time
IMU starts tomorrow... hmm... i don't know if i should feel eager or worried... hmm...
i do know that the beginning of tomorrow is the end of my oh-so-long-and-never-ending holiday...
Closing Time by Semisonic from the album Feeling strangely fine
Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here
Chorus:
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
*repeat chorus

10 things i like about you
Some time ago i made a list of 10 things i liked about my sister... which i'm NOT going to put down here, cos' some things are only for family consumption :)
Anyway, it was partly out of having nothing to do and because every year at birthdays my sister always gets me something but i don't on hers... so i thot this year i'd do this 4 her on the occasion of my birthday, but... things didn't happen as planned... the list was a little bit too hard to mae and i didn't finish it in time, but anyway... yesterday i slipped it under her room door... and less than 12 hours later she had discovered it... i got a reply POEM back from her! which i'm NOT going to put out for viewing cos' some things are only for family consumption :)
I just LOVE my sister :)... heheh, its safe for me to put this up here cos' she'll never see it :P
Menj
Yesterday i stumbled upon a person called Menj.. it would seem he has something against Christianity..
i think he should be pretty proud of himself... b4 this i hadn't found anything on the internet that could pissme off or anything dat was worth getting pissed off at (including pop-up ads, internet chat and unhelpful toolbars) that is until now of course.
I never actually thot i'd feel so stongly about someone denouncing my religion... so anyway, i left my mark on his site... i wasn't the only one it seems, who feels strongly about a Muslim denouncing Christianity, i think mei also found out about him and left her mark there...
so, later that nite as i was thinking over Menj's site, i kinda felt in a wierd sort of way that God(if it really was Him) was telling me to uhh, not give the typical "i'm right you're wrong answer"... a verse from my devotion struck me too. "Do not repay evil with evil, but overcome evil with good."
So anyway i came up(or if you must..God gave) me this answer...
It seems strange that the 3 religions of our world, which have so much in common, should be so divided... you don't find Buddhists and Hindus or even Atheists argue as hotly over a personal belief as the Jews, Christians and Muslims do. Why should it be that we who have so much in common look for differences to divide?
I'm not a scholar and humbly beg forgiveness for my ignorance, but i doubt that in the Quran, Prophet Muhammad commands Muslims to denounce other religions, look of lousy followers of their faith &tc... i do know as a Christian that Jesus didn't...
I have heard that it is said Islam is "The Way of Peace"... shall we not then, brother have Peace?
A person will undoubtedly have questions upon reading of another's faith... but should not questions be put forward to people who have authority to answer them? rather than to put forth an accusatory opinion to the general public and thus raise up bad feelings and strife?
even later that nite i also wrote down an answer to his use of scripture, but i don't think i'll post it there...

hair cut
Today i cut my hair. Or rather, had my hair cut
Anyway, i went to the barber today. It seems that there's a change of worker again. Did i mention i go to an indian barber? The 1st time i went there, there was this indian guy who was quite old i think whom after about 5 or 6 months got changed to a bespectacled, kinda blurry indian guy.Today i found out its a young indian chap whom i think so far,uhh... gave me my 10bucks worth. I can't say whether its good or not cos' i can't really tell difference.
So, after cutting my hair, surprisingly he went on to do this neck thingy on me... i don't know what's it called... its not a massage, but the 1st time my indian fren in mbs did it on me, it felt really good. it's sort of like cracking the knuckles except that u do it with your head and neck? anyway, he then proceeded to continue to my back and give me a thumping... uhh, i think that would be what you call it. So anyway, for 10 bucks getting hair cut, sideburns shaved off, neck thingy and back thingy... i think i got my money's worth. Best of all its just 10 steps away from my house :)
Support malaysian.. go for indian barber :)

House of Flying Daggers
It was good!... i don't know why everybody keeps on telling me its bad, boring, inunderstandable for the average audience...
hmm... if you don't try thinking about the meaning of the colors and the "maksud tersirat" then i think its a rather enjoyable movie... sad-lah, but enjoyable...
well, at least it's better than "Hero"... Zhang Yimou's previous show which really was inunderstandable to the intellingence of the average Malaysian cinema-goer...
its not that i don't think there isn't any "maksud tersirat" but its just that you can just look at the "surface story" and enjoy it by itself...
the flying dagger scenes are REALLY GOOD... yeah, besides the scenery &tc... the bamboo scene is much more believable den the wan in "Crouching Tiger.."... and the fight in the flower fields is really good...:) i oso think Z.Ziyi did a good job at playing a blind girl in the beginning...
now all i'm waiting for is "Puteri Gunung Ledang" coming out on the 31st of August, our Independence Day... the clips & trailers seem pretty okay... M.Nasir as Hang Tuah looks good...

kicked out
hehe.. yay... Fazly got kicked out :)... so i got 1 out of 2 correct.
The other girl to leave MI(M'sian Idol) was Sufiah...hmm... i actually have no recollection of what she sang :)..
hmm... everyone seems so emotional on the show... even Jien wasn't smiling at the end... lets see... i think most of the contestants were crying, Jee was crying... probably Roslan Aziz was too... i think only Paul Moss wouldn't cry... everybody's crying...
on the other hand... it does make the show interesting :) although i can't really explain why...
why DO we like watching ppl cry?

12 finalists
well, finally after the long wait... the 12 finalists of Malaysian Idol(MI)...
and in the words of Paul Moss:"Average, just simply average.."yeah, last nite wasn't the greatest show on earth n not even the best episode of MI, hey... even the wildcard card show was better...
but it wasn't all that bad... Zamri 
& Dina
stood out.. can i say more so then Jac
because you kinda expect it of her...she still is the best performer of the lot even when she isn't trying hard(like last nite).. but to quote mr.moss again,"i really hope you don't win this just because everyone else isn't good enough...i hope someone comes along and pushes you so that your real abilities/potential is shown"...
anyway... last nite definitely wasn't a night for the chinese contestants.. the "Vicks"(both), Andrew and Nikki gave performances that ranged from average to boring to cringe-worthy~.. but i must say worst perf. of the nite and my vote for contestant to get out would have to be Fazly... ugh... what was he thinking... his rendition of Maroon 5's This Love was laughable! why one earth did he choose this song?
i really think the wildcard show had more quality then last nite's show...anyway, as of now, i'm actually hoping the winner is a Malay..preferable Dina: she undoubtedly has the ability, n i personally think she stands out wif her personality... oklah... the wierd finger thingy has to go... but ever since mr. caterpillar eyebrows
didn't make it (although i found him irritating at first; in the end i was hoping he'd make it) i think she would be the best remaining option... i'm not really supporting Jac cos' she's kinda like the favorite... i DON'T support favorites.. give me the underdog anyday....
my choice for top 3: Jac, Zamri & Dina... yeah... anyway... the 1st MI has proved to be entertaining so far... quite-lah nyway.... i'm looking fwd to future seasons where hopefully the quality will improve :)

t.v. nite
Thursday is tv nite:)
Last nite was expecially good...
Normally after i come back from wherever i've been on thursday nite... if i'm out... there're two excellent shows on tv3 and 8tv...
every 11pm tv3: Monk, a series about an obssesive-compulsive detective(Tommy Shalhoub) who uhh... fights crime, sort of anyway...
followed thereafter by 12am 8tv:Latte at 8.. what i think is m'sia's best talk show, hosted by Jason Lo televised live(used to be, now they're showing repeats) from Sunway Starbucks..
well... yeah, concurrently showing on ntv7 12am is Fear Factor... so that advertisement times aren't a factor... but 8tv has relatively short ad breaks anyway... and well, if i'm up to it Latte at 8 continues with Late Show with David Letterman on ntv7 1am...
yeah, don't you just love tv :)
btw, i still think 8tv is now the best local free tv channel... hands down, no competition...
among other good shows now showing on 8tv are... Malaysian Idol!
they also broadcast live short "quickies" between shows on weekdays at nite which are really good... really good...no, really really good... okay so maybe its because i think Marion looks good...

Passing the time
Just passing the time on another tuesday afternoon,
I hope something happens soon,
Tuesdays used to be 'pasar malam' days,
hmm, nobody to go wif nowadays, since i stopped bee's.
Today's connection is really slow,
37.2 is the fastest the jaring line can flow,
Only 16 more days to starting IMU,
So from now till then i'm hoping for more to do.
haih,it's that boring,
nothing to do but lame poetry writing,
my mind is aching, my body is hurting,
from the amount of boredom i'm enduring.

Go the distance
I have often dreamed, of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way, if I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong
Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years, would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through
And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope
Till I go the distance, and my journey is complete
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its' harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
I will search the world, I will face its harms
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms
Disney- Hercules- Go The Distance- Micheal Bolton
don't know why, but today's a good day for this song... not that i went any distance today :\.. maybe its because i'm dreaming of a far of place called heaven where life doesn't suck..
Where a hero's welcome, would be waiting for me

The Egg Story
last nite i was supposed to be taking up my bio books n reading... but it just SO HARD to study while you're on holiday u know... SO HARD!!
anyway, out of boredom i came up wif this story cos' i didn't feel like studying :
Christmas Bulldog stared deep into zhiyong's eyes.
"When is he ever going to put up the shelf.. lazy bum?"
"There he goes again, digging his nose, what is it with human & nose digging?... we soft toys get along fine without digging OUR noses," said Birthday Bear as she turned up her nose at him.
"No this isn't the story i was talking about, so stop interrupting me," said zhiyong.
The egg snuggled closer to the wall.
"Mmm... the room seems to have shrunk a little since last week... but at least it's more cosy now."
Well, it certainly was comfortable... warm, snug... what more could Egg the egg ask from life? The sun was shining and life was treating him pretty well.
"Ooohh... limbs! I always wanted a pair.. Finally, some way of manoveuring myself."
Egg had awakened in the morning finding himself with hands and feet. Now he could finally turn himself to that upside down position & fell the rush of blood to his head he had often heard the neighboring eggs talk about. This was fun, he could do it all day to the beat of his heart. Deep inside though, he realized that the room had shrunk again... but he kept it to himself... & not that there was anyone to tell.
"Oh no, now i'm really in trouble."
Egg had turned himself upside down because the top of the room had seemed unnaturally hot & now he was stuck.. he seemed to have grown wider around the hips...
"I knew the room had shrunk."
The first spasms of pain shot through his body as he realized the room really was shrinking... and at an alarming rate! His face squashed against the wall.. Pain... Darkness... Suffering...
He closed his eyes and waited for the end to come. Darkness washed over him. There was a loud CRACK and he knew it... his bones were breaking. He felt numb all over. The pain was unbearable.
CRACK!! CRACK!!
then... relief finally, as a bright whiteness blinded his eyes. He tried opening his eyes and everything was white.. A seemingly darker shade of white approached..
"Am i dead?"
"No-lah, you're alive... in fact, your life has just started!"
"But i thought i dying... & how'll i go back to my egg now?"
"Hah, you call that a life? Being stuck in a shell?"
"But it was comfortable!"
"That's what you thought, but that's only because u're used to it.. NOW life really starts, you're FREE from the shell!"
"Will i be able to go back to it? I'll need somewhere to sleep.."
"Haha, is that a joke... Egg, when you've experienced life OUT OF THE SHELL, you'll never want to go back to it."
"You're pretty lazy yourself!" said zhiyong as he tried to sit Christmas Bulldog up after writing down the last words of "The Egg Story".
*blek* CB stuck his tongue out at zhiyong... or so he thought he did..
-The end-
okay, it's a lousy story, i know... but i had nothing to do... n i don't wanna study...

monday greens
today is monday... i'm not exactly blue, so i thought green would be a better colour to describe today... anyway, the weather in sripetaling is great, the wind keeps on blowing & it feels like it's going to rain... so, things can't go wrong :)
i actually was going to post yesterday's sunday lunch disaster, but after talking to mei, msging joyce, chatting wif jinqfeei n eyin... it isn't so bad alredi... for the most, i'm thinking it's on account of me being a little "small hearted"... so bcos' today started out so wonderfully :), i'm not going to spoil it by putting something unhappy on my blog :P... maybe some other time when my mood's not as good :\
Kiss The Rain- Billie Myers
Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin' through to you?
Hello
Is it late there?
There's a laughter on the line
Are you sure you're there alone?
Cause I'mTryin' to explain
Somethin's wrong
Ya just don't sound the same
Why don't you
Why don't you
Go outside
Go outside
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone, too long.
If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.
Keep in mind
We're under the same sky
And the night's
As empty for me, as for you
If ya feel
You can't wait till morinin'
Kiss the rain x3
Hello
Do you miss me? I hear you say you do
But not the way I'm missin' you
What's new? How's the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
Cause you sound so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew, what I'm left imagining
In my mind In my mind
Would you go Would you go
Kiss the rain
And you'd fall over me
Think of me x3
Only me
Kiss the rain...
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips, feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain, and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same skies
And the night's
As empty for me, as for you
If you feel, you can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain...
heh, i like this song.. partly on account of it's sheer senselesness: How do you kiss the rain?

What's new? How's the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
Cause you sound so close but it feels like you're so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew, what I'm left imagining
In my mind In my mind
Would you go Would you go
Kiss the rain
And you'd fall over me
Think of me x3
Only me
Kiss the rain...
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I'm gone too long
If your lips, feel hungry and tempted
Kiss the rain, and wait for the dawn
Keep in mind
We're under the same skies
And the night's
As empty for me, as for you
If you feel, you can't wait till morning
Kiss the rain...
heh, i like this song.. partly on account of it's sheer senselesness: How do you kiss the rain?

(Saturday 31/7) wake up in the morning, go out for breakfast at coffee shop, come back, help keep marketing stuff(peel prawn &tc., finished LOTR(last few chapters), practice piano (yeah, for some reason :), have lunch, tried to sleep but watch tv instead(this was oso something he used 2 do), go TU, watch movie, come back late... okay, so it wasn't a carbon copy but there were similarities :)

Stinginess
wahh... zhiyong is like.. so "happy" that his pay from that one week of teaching in MBS has come(finally)... he got a whopping RM40.00!! imagine... for 5 days of working he got 40 bucks... that's like 8 bucks a day... given that he worked from 1.30 to 6.30 that would be less then 2 bucks an hour... WOW...and he thought Bee's was stingy... he's SO going back to teaching after this experience!!don't try arguing that he actually taught for less then 4 hours each day... the fact of the matter was that he was payed to be in school from 1.30 to 6.30.. waiters don't get payed less just because there're no customers.. wow, the pay is so darn shockingly CHEAP that i'm too shocked to be angry.. even working in a factory for a week will get you more...
On the other hand... yesterday was zhiyong's birthday:)... many thanks to all those birthday msgs, esp. those from mei, beekun, yingkhai.. sunday's "church lunch" .. ofcourse, not 2 mention the family dinner:) tenq, tenq... zhiyong feels so appreciated:P... heheh, i just couldn't leave this out... there was this one small detail of zhiyong having to stay at home on the 26th :)
oh, i feel "SO RICH" (@_@)*rolling and rolling eyes*
... oh yeah, for emphasis on zhiyong's "richness problem"...todate, as of 27th July 12 noon, zhiyong has RM1.60 of credit left in his Samsung SGH C-100 :(...
the problem wif money is that people who have it wish for more and those who don't have it wish for even more of it..

online-a-bility
one big drawback of dial-up ISPs are that they consistently produce problems... not that u don't get any wif broadband...
zhiyong was unable to go online for 3 whole days!!... do you know how long that is...
it's 72 hours...
personally i'm amazed that zhiyong is unaffected by the whole ordeal...
he says that it's actually a good thing...
"yeah, right...*rolling eyes*

it ain't over till the fat lady sings
this blog isn't meant to be offensive or anything... but really... on last weeks malaysian idol, when Dina sang... it really was, until the Fat Lady sings... u don't know what it's gonna be..
she really blew away everybody.. and... got into the next round...
pity though.. the contestant i thought was really irritating (Fariz) didn't get thru... i thought he did okay.. at least better then Mr. Good Looking (Vic)

Another weekend over
hmm... another weekend over
zhiyong thinks it's not fair that all his activities are pushed into two hectic, packed, "rest-less".. days when the other 5 days he's reduced to almost absolute boredom...
not that he's really complaining though... :) at least he's almost forgotten what it means to have monday blues :P... and it's definitely better then having 7 days of boredom :)
Blogger has updated it's interface again... it's now more user frenly, less intellectually challenging, and...
oh.. yingkhai has just introduced me to his new blog... another one joins the community :)
oh... and it's Rowen's birthday.. wow, n i thot it was going to be another boring monday..
Still, it's about time i started opening my books... holidays left with 5 more weeks... :(

Get a life
Zhiyong should really get a life.. he really should..
He now realizes that besides church n bee's colleagues, he has hardly anybody else to contact(okay so there's mei:).. what a miserable way of spending these last few weeks of holiday...
Now that he thinks of it, it really isn't surprising since church has been the greatest constant in his life all these years.. but he really MUST get a life outside of church..
King Arthur's out today... let's hope i get to see it within the next few days... and hopefully NOT alone :)

Rain
It's raining where i am,
Is it raining where you are?
It brings hope everytime the raindrops fall,
Wash away the sin,
Wash away the sadness,
It reminds me of life and freedom.
It is raining where i am,
Is it raining where you are?
zhiyong told me once he loves it when it rains.. heavy rains, light showers..
it brings a small measure of peace.
