not my fault

its not my fault i didn't update my page...
my dad was using the comp. yesterday, n i DID have something to blog :)
which unfortunately i can't think of now... hmm, how-ah?

yeah, today M2/04 volleyball won sem2's 2-0... really sapu them... i think dis is the only sport we got chance to get 1st :)

IMU Cup

today i lost my voice shouting for our M2/04 batch basketball team, guy n girl...
our girls won 4-1(3 on 3) but our guys lost after a VALIANT effort(30something-50something)...
but it was fun :)... can't remember the last time i cheered so hard for anything
Fight, fight, fight like champions,
Win, win, win like champions,
Fight like champions,
Win like champions
All the rest can go fly kite,
Fly kite, fly kite all the rest can go fly kite...
Go... M2/04 :)

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.

*recieved in the mailbox*

i'm in a certain "zone" today... that sort of unreal feeling where u've woken up after a long nap n its alredi dark.. dat sort of feeling where u're not really sure if u're asleep or awake... pretty matrix-y :)

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...

beezee

i hate this also... the screen appearing after i click publish post and it says page not found... @#%^$^%&...

anyway.. really busy this week... i hate being busy... wasting time double blogging doesn't help matters :(...
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.. :(
a good thing to thank God for tho, would be that at least... at least...
i don't know... maybe my ping pong smash getting better? :)

beezee

so busy busy busy this week... i really hate the word busy, it implies that i'm not free
(-_-)...
but i really hate being busy.
this week, besides finishing bio-chem which means we're starting on the human body(finally) and not some distant imaginative body functions we hardly think about... and so this week we have.. the brain n nervous sys.*groan*... add to that, fr mon. to wed. nite i'm attending a talk by D.A. Carson on Rev. 12-14, we're having IMU Cup this 3 weeks starting yesterday(sort of sports month) and hmm... various other distractions to my studies..

i hate being busy :(... but on the other hand, i suddenly percieve the wisdom of having finished joyce's b'day present last week instead of dis week :)
on the other hand, i know mei facing her final final final final punye final's final...
haih... everybody beezee, joyce oso finishing projek, jinqfeei bz wif assignment, daniel beezee being free even tho he got assignment... heheh, it's no wonder we call them ASSignments...

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...
