A Journey Called Life

Dear Phoebe

2012-01-02T03:38:00.003+08:00

My first post isn't about what I've done in 2011 or my resolutions for 2012 but a post dedicated to my dear friend in US on her baptism. I was surprised to watch her video on her blog just now. Glad that she has changed so much and hope that she will walk closer to God in each and every day of her life.

And I saw this written on her blog too :

"For those of you who are feeling depressed, I want you know that there is a God who loves you and wants to turn your life around.
For those of you who are seeking for love or just someone who would appreciate you, I want you know that there is a God who really cares.
For those of you who are wanting to give up on God, I want you to know that Jesus is the best gift you'll ever have in life. Do not give up on Him!

Jesus loves you! All of you! :) "

What a timely reminder and a way to be inspired in year 2012. Pray that this year to be a great and fruitful year for everyone!

On Hiatus

2011-11-03T01:02:00.003+08:00

Dear readers,

I'll be on a long hiatus away from blogging. Will only be back probably at the end of December. I have a lot of blog drafts waiting to be posted. All of them are only half-way completed. I seriously have a lot of interesting stuffs to share and talk about but sadly, I'm so busy that I could hardly find some time to sit down in front of my laptop and blog. Fyi, I take at least 1-2 hours to blog a post. If it's a longer post, I'll take even more time. But whatever it is, I shall take a break from blogging and I'll be back soon.

Till then, see ya all!

Signing off,
Steven

30 Hour Famine Camp

2011-08-13T00:47:00.010+08:00

So, finally it has all ended. One of the toughest camps I've ever organised. So glad that it's all over right now. Will share more on what I went through in my upcoming post. Anyway, it was a great camp although it was only 2 days 1 night. It has been 3 years since I last organised or joined a camp. And this is also my first time fasting for 30 hours, surviving just on water alone. It was a wonderful experience, made a lot of new friends. The responses and the cooperation from everyone was excellent, really out of my expectation. Thanks peeps for this memory. Till then, see you guys again in next year's Famine Camp!=D

~A short, simple, and sweet post~

Oh man of little faith

2011-07-18T21:14:00.002+08:00

"You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."

But the question is, do I have it?

United through thick and thin

2011-05-29T20:36:00.002+08:00

We might have just lost in the Champions League final. But we still achieve great heights for the record-breaking 19th league title.

This post is written in honour of my favourite football club, Manchester United.

Home Is Where You Belong

2011-05-18T02:25:00.003+08:00

My last post in Ipoh before going back to KL tomorrow morning.

I hate this feeling. It's complicated. When I'm in KL, I don't feel like going back to Ipoh. But when I'm back in Ipoh, I don't feel like going back to KL.

Ipoh is a paradise to me. Free from classes, examinations, and assignments. Life's really relaxing over here. People here is more friendly. Uni life is really competitive. Everyone is dying to be the best and I could describe them just like the BM peribahasa, "Bagai enau di dalam belukar, melepaskan puck masing-masing". I dislike living in this environment. Not to say that I'm not one but I'm trying my best not to be one. I want to succeed but not in a way which I will feel bad even if I do well. There are many more things in our lives which are more important. Anyhow, I'll pull my socks up and do my best to compete with them. I'll prove them wrong that their way may not be the best.

Besides, in Ipoh, I do not need to bother about waking up early in the morning and also the traffic jam! I do not need to worry about what to eat as mum will prepare for me. I do not need to worry about money cause I have my parents as my walking bank at home. The best of all is that I do not need to face the hectic life I have in KL. As you can see, how comfortable my life is in Ipoh. Not to say that I hate KL a lot, I love KL. I've already set my sights to work in KL next time. No doubt about that. But I just love the fact that Ipoh gives me a more home feeling. Everywhere is just nearby. I've got my family here, all my friends here, and my church as well. I can go out and just hangout with different people every night. I love hanging out with my friends till late at night which I could hardly do that in KL. Nothing beats a great nightout with your buddies, chatting and teasing all night long.

Anyway, back to reality, I need to end my writing here. I need sufficient sleep as I'll be driving back to KL later at 9am. Till then, I'll see you guys on my next post. Take care and God bless.

Pictures from some of my outings in these few days in Ipoh :

3 Idiots

2011-05-18T02:22:00.000+08:00

Oh great. Finally I'm back doing a movie review on my blog after such a long hiatus. So yea, the movie that I'll be writing about would this Hindi movie called 3 Idiots. By the name of the movie, guess that most of us wouldn't even bother to watch it. I came across this movie through one of my friends praising how good this movie is. Out of curiosity, as a movie lover, I downloaded it a few months back and let it rot inside my laptop till just now when I watched it as I've got nothing to do. To be honest, I do not expect much at first but at the end of the movie, I felt that I learned a lot. The storyline relates to us closely as a uni student. Can check out more on this LINK. Anyway, this movie taught me a lot, things that I've never thought or ask myself before, perhaps I'm just like another idiot in the movie. Things that they did and whatever they went through in uni really got me thinking about myself, reflecting on what I've done and achieve all this while. Besides, this movie could make you laugh out loud at one moment but you might shed tears on the next second. A very meaningful movie which I would recommend you to watch.

This is how I summarised the movie with most of the phrases used in the movie and some of my words as well :

The life that we grow up in,
Life's like a race,
If you don't run fast enough,
Someone will run faster and beat you.

There are many exams in our lives,
From the nursery till university,
But there are also something more important which happens only once in our lives,
We need to know what comes first and which is more important.

You can disagree but deep down in your heart, you know it's true,
When our friends fail or do badly in exams,
We feel sad,
But when our friends do much better than us in exams,
We do feel even more sad,
Thus, life can be slightly selfish at times.

Sometimes, life's full of painful decision,
But no matter what,
We still have to make one,
But whatever decision we make,
Do not look back at it once decision is made.

Whatever you aspire to be,
Make sure you enjoy doing it,
You may earn lots of money,
Big house, big cars,
But do you feel contented?

Last but not least, we live life only once. Live it the way you want it to be. Happiness and satisfaction can't be given, it is earned.

Two Girls, Different Stories

2011-05-01T00:48:00.006+08:00

Well, as much as what you guys are thinking right now, stop thinking about it. It's not a typical love story or to be specific, a love triangle story that is floating on your mind at this moment.

These two girls. Well, can't help but it would be two girls not two guys. These two girls taught me a lot and got me into deep thoughts lately. Directly or indirectly, they changed my life. Not to say that they turn me totally into a new leaf but I do learn a lot from them and they had an impact on my life especially the second girl which I'll share more about later.

The first girl, I shall use her last two initial name, PC *wanted to use their real name here but don't really feel if there's a need to*. I've known PC since Sem1 in my degree in Sunway. A very quiet and polite girl in my class compared to the rest of the girls who talk non stop. Not that really close to her till Sem2 when we work on together for assignments. She's a girl full of the joys of the spring. My heart literally sank when I was told that she will be quitting her degree studies this week. She said that she could not cope with the pressure on the studies and she's not doing good with her results. I still couldn't believe that she really made the decision. I don't know her really well but at least in lectures and tutorials, she does pay attention and does her works. Unlike me, who talks non stop with my friends or perhaps once in a blue moon, I put in full concentration in classes. Without a doubt, it would definitely be a very tough decision for her to take. After going on for so long in this journey. From sem1 to sem3, it's not a very long period of time nor it's a short one. I'm not sure what she went through but what she has done really put myself onto the mirror. As far as I'm concerned, she's not the only one that quit this course so far. She served as a timely reminder for me to kick my ass right now to start putting more efforts on my studies. I don't know if there's any pressure on me or if I'm just simply ignoring the pressure or if I'm actually handling the pressure well. But whatever it is, I have to pull my socks right now and be real serious on my studies. Though I have only one subject this semester which is counted in the degree honours classification, I believe that I need to score well to keep up or raise the momentum for me to do better. I must never throw in the towel like what my friend did, I can never imagine myself doing that. Anyway, I would like to wish you, PC, that no matter what comes to your life in the future, hang in there and never back down. There will always be sunshine after the storm. And hope you stay in the pink of health! God bless.

Move on to the second girl, YZ. What can I say about her and how do I start here? She's the one that changed my study life the most in uni. She's the creme de la creme in my degree program, holding the title of chancellor scholar. I don't know how I've got to know her, I'm not at the top hierarchy order of Sunway students where the elite students mix only among themselves. Perhaps it was fate that she came into my life. I knew her last sem and everything has been different for me since then. I still remember that I've only got to know that she's such a smart girl after quite some time, I never knew it till one fine day when my friend told me that the girl sitting next to me just now is our uni's top student. And again, I was shocked and couldn't believe it. Wondering how could I not feel it at all. Well, a down to earth girl she is, that's why. Alright, that was a bit off and too long for an introduction. Fast forward, through her, I learned a lot. She didn't directly teach me how to study but just by looking at her life and what she does, tells me a lot. She's someone who make good use of every single second in her life. Time is gold. Easier to be said but hard to be put into use. I could see that she doesn't procrastinate like how I do. She never gives up, work hard, and set her eyes straight to her goals. She will achieve things that she wants. I've always got an impression that top students are like nerds studying all the time with no life. I've seen and met a lot of these people before. But she's the first one that proved me wrong and change my perspective. She's an outgoing girl who is actively involved with lots of uni's acitivities and she juggles her time very well between her studies and other stuffs. She's a strong and independent girl who doesn't like to depend on others. She always do and get things done on her own without asking any help. For me to continue talking about her qualities would make me write forever. All in all, she's someone that really set the bar for me. I'm not sure if I could achieve results like hers but I'll pull out all the stops and leave no stones unturned. I've learned a lot from her and I hope I could make good use of it and get some results. It will be a long and weary road but if she could do it, why not me? All I need to do is just to take that extra step and courage.

In conclusion, it's not by chance that I've got to know both of them. I believe that everything is part of God's plan and purpose. Both of them left footprints in me and I hope that I could be able to do the same on them. Life's getting more exciting and tougher but I'm loving it.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both.

For Two Decades

2011-04-30T23:46:00.003+08:00

I'm 20. Yes it's a '2', no more '1' in that figure. I'm no longer a teenager. Young adult perhaps? Time passes real fast and I've already lived for two decades. Everything seems to have just happened yesterday. My 18th Birthday is still fresh in my mind. Anyway, I had a belated surprise birthday celebration from my classmates. They really caught me offguard. They had a great time taking revenge on me after what I've done to most of them for their birthdays. I enjoyed it and thanks lots my friends!=) Some picts from that day and a video on how they surprised me too. Enjoy!

For 20 years in my life, I didn't achieve anything that I really made proud of myself. I want to achieve my dreams and surpass myself. I want to make a difference. I want my parents and family to be proud of me. Sounds impossible but I'm fighting hard for a breakthrough in my life.

Ronald McDonald Charity Home Visitation

2011-04-29T22:35:00.007+08:00

A short post from me here. Just to update my dearest blog readers, I'm now a member of Sunway Social Society.=D Doing social works has always been my passion and I don't know how, but just it was such a coincidence that I've got to join this group. I love joining and being involved with clubs and societies activities during my high school days but when it comes to uni level, I lost the burning passion in me. If you've been following me since the early days of my blog, you would definitely know how far I've went with my St.John Ambulance society. Back to present, I'm now currently involved with some activities in this society, One of them would be this one which I'm blogging about right now, my first visit to the Ronald McDonald Charity Home in HUKM, Cheras.

Besides, I'm also involved with organising an annual dinner night for Pink Triangle Foundation whose company is also involve in social and charity works. But my biggest involvement would be organising the 30 Hours Famine Camp in this coming August. I've organised plenty of camps for St.John last time. Organising an everage of 4-5 camps a year and attending 4-5 camps a year which means in total, an average of 10 camps a year for me. Mind you, those are just St.John camps alone, I haven't include prefects camp and church camp. I basically spent most my high school holidays attending camps and trainings, this explains perfectly why my mum complained so much last time.=) But after almost 3 years of not organising camps, here am I organising one for my uni. It's a great feeling, especially when you remember back the good old days of me organising camps with my fellow friends. I wish I could do the same thing with this upcoming camp. I hope not to repeat the same old mistakes that I did when organised thos camps last time and apply what I've learned last time into this camp. All in all, I do really hope that this 30 Hours Famine Camp would be a huge success and a memorable one for me.

Not to forget, pictures from today's visitation :

RMCH, HUKM, Cheras.

Well, I just love this picture! xD

The Sunway Social Society family

If there's anything or anyone that moved me so much, then it would be this phrase that I've always keep to myself :

Mother Theresa once quoted, "We ourselves often feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean but the ocean would be less because of that missing drop".

It's between me and God

2011-04-13T22:00:00.000+08:00

"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Teresa

Lastly, even if I were to lose and fail, I will still pull out all the stops, leave no stones unturned, and throw the last dice. I won't give up no matter what. Life's harsh and may seems to be unfair but I'll live on with it with my head held up high. I'll prove critics wrong.

Things do change. It's a totally different thing right here right now. I need to prove myself once again. I need a breakthrough in my life right now and I'll work hard for it.

Impossible?

2011-04-02T00:02:00.004+08:00

"Tomorrow you promise yourself will be different, yet tomorrow is too often a repetition of today." -Author James T. McKay

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my Saviour, My God is my rock in whom I find protection, He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety, He is my refuge, my saviour, the one that saves me from violence." 2 Samuel 22:2-3

A Roller Coaster Ride in 50 Days

2011-03-22T01:46:00.007+08:00

Exactly 50 days time. That's how long my whole second semester was in Sunway. And to be able to write this post out is indeed a blessing from God as what I went through in this 50 days was indeed one of the greatest roller coaster rides in my life. Not to make this post sounds awesome, but this 50 days was an eye opening experience for me. I'll try to tell more in my upcoming posts hopefully but right now for this post, it will all solely be about my life in Sunway with my coursemates.

To start it off, I had 3 subjects for this semester. Communication Skills, Moral and Malaysian Studies. And worse of all, I only had 6 weeks to finish off all these subjects as it was a short semester. While most of my coursemates enjoyed themselves having only one subject, I had to pull up my socks to cope with these 3 subjects.

Let's start off with my Moral studies. I sworn that I'll never do moral after my SPM and seems like karma is chasing after me, I've got no choice but to drag myself to uni every Monday to Wednesday morning at 8am to attend the lectures. Oh and yea, FYI, I've got my Malaysian studies classes at 8am too for Thursday and Friday. This could perfectly explained how dreadful I was every morning last semester.

Back to Moral, this is my group :

From top left to right :
Wei Chyi, Me, Jen-Jen
From bottom left to right :
Peec Chien, Ying Zhao, Sung Li

My group had only 6 people while all the other groups had an average of 10 people. We had 3 assignments and thank God that we managed to make it through. Not to boast about our achievements, our group poster design for the moral campaign received lots of compliments and of course, with only a day of preparation, we won the debate!=D Not sure if you guys are reading this, but it was really a good time working together and I had lots of fun.

This is the poster that we made :

Next. Malaysian studies. Another boring subject. 3 hours of lecture for every session. I bet I wouldn't have managed to go through that 3 hours without my iPhone. Anyhow, we had only an assignment for this subject. We were asked to write a report and do a presentation on the topic '1Malaysia'. Yes, it is just as simple as that. Boring subject with a boring assignment topic. But hey! My group managed to turn a dead topic to a lively one. I won't be sharing what my group had written for the report but I'll show you guys what we had for our presentation. I had 12 people in my group!

Anyhow, this is the video that I made for the opening of my presentation with Tse Young :

And since it's a presentation with a boring topic. So yea, being me, Steven, a guy that never fails to do crazy stuff. I came up with a plan like this :

Yes. We sang at the end of our presentation in Audi7, the biggest lecture hall in Sunway, in front of hundreds of students. As we struggled real hard to hold our nerves, the audiences were greatly surprised by Tse Young and I. We are the one and only group who sang in our presentation. Thank God, we didn't get booed off the stage and in fact, we got great applause from everyone. It was one of the very best feelings I had for a presentation. Will never ever forget that special moment.

Next up. Communication skills. Just the subject name itself made me drool for it. Definitely my favourite subject. I had 3 assignments for this subject. Public speaking for informational speech and persuassive speech. And video assignment.

Teamed up with Luke and Khairul for the speeches. No videos or pictures from our presentations. But when 3 close friends work together in an assignment, we reached great heights.=D

For the video assignment, I teamed up with Yuan Teng and Yaw. And this is the video that we made on how wrong usage of languages can causes problem in communicating with the other person :

I like this video very much but hate the quality of it. Have to start using other video editing programme, Windows Movie Maker can't produce high quality videos.=/

Alright. That was all about the 3 subjects I had last semester. You guys must be wondering what happened to my bunch of close classmates that I mentioned before in my blog. No worries peeps, we are still as close as ever. Definitely even closer. All of us were in the same class again! Though we had trouble in the beginning when we were all separated into different classes, with YingYing and SungLi's efficiency, all of us managed to be back together in the same group. Both of them actually took the fuss to write letters and discuss with the people in office to arrange everything. Thanks a lot Ying2 and SungLi! It was great to be together with everyone in this 7 weeks.

Oops. Forget to mention this. I moved to a new place last semester and I had a house warming party for my friends. Pict from that night :

And of course some of us went to Genting the day after examination and here's a picture of the trip :

All in all, it was really a great semester for me. If and only if I wasn't involved in the accident *Will talk more about it next time*. I enjoyed a lot in the last semester. I had so much fun leading and working with everyone for all the assignments. Moving into a new place, getting to know some new friends, great presentations, all the fun we had when shooting the video, and lots lots more. All these means a lot to me. But life is not always about the sunshine and rainbow, there will be hard times. I had my ups and downs throughout the whole semester. But no matter what, all praise and glory and honour to God for being there with me every moment. My family and my friends, they are the ones that made this 50 days a period etched in my heart forever.

Mum's Birthday

Inspiring

Songs that I listen to lately.

Hope they inspire you like how they did on me.

A Day In Genting

2011-03-10T02:13:00.000+08:00

Finally, another semester has ended. 8 weeks gone just like that. A lot a lot of things happened in this 8 weeks. It was a long roller coaster ride. Will share more about it in my upcoming posts, I hope. But anyhow, I'll be posting pictures on my trip yesterday in Genting with some of my classmates. Again, as usual, it was a great time spent together. Enjoyed every single moment.=)

Dream Came True

2011-03-10T01:45:00.001+08:00

After twice missing out on his concert when I was 17 and also the one in Singapore last year which I even bought the tickets but could not make it at the very last minute....

And finally I've got the chance to go for my fave singer, Jay Chou's concert on 5/3/2011.

Watching my fave singer performing live in front of me is definitely a very memorable moment in my life.

No regrets paying so much for the concert.

Worth every single penny that I paid.

These are the picts taken on that night before, during, and after the concert. Sorry for the unorganised arrangement of the pictures. I'm just too lazy.=)

Another Masterpiece

2011-02-26T10:26:00.003+08:00

My video for Communication Skills subject for this semester.

Have fun watching it! =)

Enter 2011

2011-01-03T02:10:00.000+08:00

Time flies.

Just a blink of an eye.

Clock ticks life away without being noticed.

Well, these are the words often used when it comes to an end of another year. For me, I would say that my train of life has now enter another new track. Writing this post would be a pit stop for this train. A pause for me to reflect back what happened througout the whole year of 2010 and my plans for 2011. Not going to specifically write down what happened for the last whole year or my plans for this new year, just a simplified one.

All in all, 2010 is a year where I have nothing really to proud of or boast about. Not to say that it's a bad year but it's actualy a year long of learning for me. Learning from my mistakes and day by day, I hope to be a better person. For 2011, I hope to pull out all the stops and give my all for my studies which is my upmost priority. And at the same time, I hope to have a good walk of life with God for this year.

So, guess that's all I wanna say. Happy New Year to everyone of you reading this and may you have a great year ahead! God bless. =)

Christmasssssss

Merry Christmas my friends!

KL International Motor Show

2010-12-19T21:13:00.008+08:00

Went to the KL International Motor Show with Luke, Aizat, and Channa a day before coming back to Ipoh. Nothing great about it. Not many nice cars. Not many hot models except for one or two which I'll include in this post. Anyway, we had a great time hanging out together on that day. Went to for a walk at Bukit Bintang and Petaling Street after that.

Anyway, lazy people like me doesn't want to write much. So, I'll just let the pictures taken on that day to entertain you guys. Enjoy! =)

No hot cars & No hot models = FAILURE

PS : A very boring motor show indeed. Wasted my 20 bucks.

Oh my home sweet home

2010-12-13T04:20:00.002+08:00

Finally after almost around 3 months, I'm going back to my own sweet home, Ipoh!

I miss my family

I miss my heng dais

I miss my churchmates

I miss my air-cond room

I miss my bed

I miss hanging out in Dong Kui

I miss driving in Ipoh

I miss Ipoh food

I miss the sight of Ipoh leng luis in Jusco

I miss my gym in Ipoh

And I'll be getting all of them later after such a long time. =)

So Ipoh peeps, be prepared to welcome my arrival later! =D

Train of Thoughts

2010-12-13T04:12:00.005+08:00

As the clock ticks, time flies. A thought of the yesterdays made me not believing that everything passed with a blink of an eye and here am I writing my FIRST ever post about my uni life in Sunway after our first semester ended. 14 weeks seems to be such a short period of time. The good and the tough times, I managed to made it through. I'll be leaving Sunway in around 12 hours time as I'm writing this now. A post before I'm back to my home sweet home, Ipoh.

Alright. Where do I start from? I have so much to say but don't know how to start. Thoughts just come flooding into my mind and I can't put them into words. *If words could fall like rain, from this lips of mine, if I have a thousand years, I'll still run out of time*

*Took a 10 minutes break before I continue writing*

Okay. My first day of class. It's an English class, I could still remember it. It was in tutorial group 2. Not sure if I should thank my lucky stars or not, I met Luke in this class. Being the only two Ipoh guys in the class, we became close friends. On the second week, both of us request to transfer to tutorial group 1. Reason? It's because of the English lecturer, Miss Tan. Seniors told us to change our class as we will never score in her class. We managed to change all our classes to tutorial group 1 except me. I managed to change all my classes except for English. Sounds stupid right? The whole purpose for me to change my tutorial group is because of English but at the end of the day, I managed to change all my classes to tutorial group 1 except for English. And for this to happen, I put all the blame on Miss Mazlin for kicking me out of the class saying that the class is too packed and that I can't join her class. These 2 ladies lecturers are real complicated. ZZzzz.

Anyway, because of this, I am 5/6 belong to tutorial group 1 and 1/6 belong to tutorial group 2. The brighter side of it would be that I'm able to have more friends. Instead of just mixing around with T1 friends, I mix with those in T2 as well. While the dark side of it would be that me scoring low marks for my English assignments which indeed happened to me. I can put all the blame on the lecturer for giving me low marks but somehow, I think I'll take it as a challenge for me to do better and improve my English. Over the years since primary school days, I always take pride in my English. I never score anything less than an A for English and it has always been a subject that I'm very comfortable with. Overconfident would be the word best describe myself. And somehow, through the hard way, I've got to learn my lesson. It will definitely never be a walk in the park for me.

Next, my T1 classmates!

My guys and girls, my beloved boyfriends and girlfriends, my husbands and wives,

You all are the ones that made my life over here in Sunway all these while such a wonderful one. I'm not sure if you all are happy to have me around but I'm thankful that God placed me with you all. Not to boast about our tutorial group, but I think that our group is the most happening one among the rest. We spent so much time together and we are so close to one another. God has always been faithful to me, from my pre-U to my degree, I'm always in the group where everyone gels together easily. I'm a talkative guy and love to make friends. Being in this tutorial group, I was able to unleash my full potential! And thank you guys for bearing with me all these while. I deeply appreciate it.=P

I enjoyed every single moment with you all throughout the whole semester. The hangouts, the birthday celebrations, and the time we spent together in the Glass Room, I'll never forget them for sure. Life in Sunway would be dull if I do not get to know you all. The jokes, the laughter, and the memories. These are the things that I'll definitely miss dearly when I'm back in Ipoh.

I have special messages for each of you all on my blog here and here it goes :

Luke : Put you first as you're the one that I spent most of my time with here in Sunway. Won't miss you at all cause you'll be back in Ipoh with me and we live just 5 minutes drive from each other!

Khairul : You're one of the most down to earth guys that I've ever known in my life. Thanks for helping me to print my notes at times and thanks for letting me and Luke to bully you! I love your massage and your house very much!=D

Channa : I don't like Sri Lankan! Just jesting! Anyway, you have been a great friend of mine. We did so many things together. Day by day, I bet that you're being influenced by me and Luke!=P

Tse Young : I'm jealous of your dancing skills. And I respect you the fact that you can juggle your time for studying and dancing for so well. And of course, thanks for bearing with me for all the cold jokes that I made. I know you always complain to me about that but it doesn't mean that I'll stop though! =D

Wai Hong : I love the fact that you talk a lot and someone who can socialise. Thus, I don't feel odd in the group as there is also someone who talks a lot in the class. Haha!

Zheng Ming : Somehow, you're the guy that talked to me the most in MSN among our classmates. And I guess everyone knows why. *Hint : YingYing* Anyway, thanks a lot for your help on sharing assignments info with me. It helped a lot.=)

Sung Li : Our class rep! Our class reporter! Our class secretary! How could our class survive without you? You had been such a great help to all of us. I respect you a lot for your unselfishness, something that I'm still trying to learn. Thanks a lot for your help!=)

Ali : Probably the most hardworking guy in the class. I have a lot to learn from you man! Thanks for the Econs notes that you have given me. And hopefully, I'll be able to go to Mauritius with you for a holiday next time!

Alvin : Yoga master! Teach me yoga next sem ok? And together we become yoga master and earn big bucks! hehe! Anyway, wanna tell you that you have also been a great friend of mine and I enjoy talking to you. =)

Wei Chyi : You don't talk much. You're quiet. I think it was probably because of me talking too much in the class that makes you so quiet when compared to me. Anyhow, as time passed, you seem to mix with us more and I hope that this would continue. =)

Alright, I'm done with the guys, now the 4 girls.

Yuen Yeng : Because of your voice that is so so so loud that whenever I feel peace or whenever there's a pin drop of silence in any places that I'm at, I'll be remembered of you. Your laugh and your voice, from the ground floor in foyer, I could heard it on the 3rd floor in the library.=S Anyway, you've changed after the 15 minutes lecture from me and I realised that you now speak softer. Keep up the great work!=D

Yee Wei : I'm amazed at your style of doing assignments. Totally the opposite of mine. You do not do things last minute and want perfection. I need to learn this from you and hopefully I would be able to, in this 3 years time. =)

Ying Ying : The birthday planner, thanks for planning all the birthday celebrations. We had lots of fun. Besides, you study so hardcore that makes a guy like me feel so weak. You can go one nights without sleeping for exams! Something that not every girl can do. Anyway, hope that there will be progress between you and Zheng Ming! Though both of you live from one end to the other end(Klang and Cheras) but do remember that love knows no boundaries!=DD

Yuan Teng : From aunty to kiddo, of all girls in the class, I teased you the most in the first semester. Firstly, I'm not going to say sorry but I would like to thank you for being able to stay alive after 14 weeks facing me.=P Anyway, thanks a lot for being a good listener about my problems regarding ******. Will update you more when I talk to you next time and good luck for your piano examinations.=)

14 weeks are gone and we are only left with the sweet memories we had together. Next semester will start in a month's time. I'm quite sure that all of us will not be in the same class together. Some will be taking extra subjects and some not. *Hint : to those that wanna take extra subject, don't take! then we can be together!=)* Since we will all have different timetable, we will spend less time together and therefore, less interaction. We bump into each other, saying Hi and Bye and as days go by, our friendship will be drawn further apart. We will not have as many outings as we used to have. I've seen all these during my Pre-U. The first sem together will always be the best one. The future is uncertain and I hope and pray that things will not be like what I thought. I hope that our friendship could only grow stronger and at the end of our degree, we will all be freaking close like heng tai ji muis. =)

Those are my T1 friends. And these are for my close friends from T2 and T3 :

Jian & Daniel : You guys have been awesome. My closest friends in T2. We spent so much time together on the English assignments and had lots of fun in the process of it. You two could really joke and I just can't imagine a month without listening to Daniel's stupid and dumb words!=P But anyway, thank you both for being good friends of mine. I'll come to visit you guys in Penang if I'm free. =D

Nisha : I'll miss you or I mean Luke will miss you even more. Wish you all the best in your Victoria U degree programme and thanks for helping me so much. It's good to know someone like you. =)

Jen-Jen : It's great that I got to know you. Of everyone that I mentioned here, you're the one that I got to know for the shortest period of time. Hope that we'll get to know each other better as time goes by. =)

Lin : It's great to have you as a friend and thanks a lot for making the necessary noises in the lecture hall. Eg. asking for break time when lecturers are teaching halfway and questioning our Econs lecturer explanations. You have the respect from me and Luke. lol! =p

Aizat : Thank you for providing all the entertainment with your acts and jokes! You are a great friend to have. Hope that we will spend more time together with Luke and have lots of fun!=D

All in all, THANK YOU ALL for everything. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate our friendship and everyone of you very much. I mean what I said and I only say what my heart tells.=)

Till then, see you guys in a month's time. Hope that everyone will be in the pink of health and take care peeps! Do miss me as much as I do miss you all! =D

Love is the Greatest

2010-11-23T22:29:00.005+08:00

1 Corinthians 13

Love is the Greatest

1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.

11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Life's a toss of a coin

2010-11-18T21:01:00.002+08:00

Life’s a toss of a coin,
It’s neither a head nor a tail,
Hard to accept,
But there is no choice,
But how many coins do we have in our hands to toss?
For that, savour every toss of coin in our life,
For that every toss gives u a different meaning,
A different adventure that set u off,
For a far greater height,
A man neither succeeds nor fails,
A coward never makes an attempt,
For what is meant to be yours will eventually be yours.

Most Probably

2010-11-14T11:06:00.004+08:00

Finally, after months, I've bought myself a new camera. What took me so long? I had a great dilemma whether to get myself a semi-pro or semi-DSLR or a full DSLR camera. But finally, I bought myself Lumix LX3 which is a semi-pro camera. I wouldn't want to go for a DSLR first as I just hate the big size of it and I just don't look like a DSLR guy (nerdy looking, big size, and with specs). No offence but that's my impression of someone holding a DSLR. Well, hopefully when I'm using a DSLR in the future, I'll change the impression. =P

So yea, since I've got myself a new camera, MOST PROBABLY I'll update my blog more frequent from today onwards. I repeat, Most Probably.=) Finals are coming soon in 2 weeks time. It's so fast and my first semester in Sunway is coming to an end. I'm enjoying every bit of my time here. Love all the friends that I have especially my classmates. Lots of exciting plans coming ahead and hopefully, I'll be able to spare some time on my blog to write about my journey throughout the entire first semester in Sunway. More pictures will be uploaded of course. No worries.

So I think that's all for now my friends. I'll update my blog asap once after I finish my finals. Till then, God bless us all. =)

PS : A million times sorry to my friends for abandoning my blog.=(

Steak oh Steak

2010-09-05T20:30:00.002+08:00

Went to Victoria Station Steak House to celebrate Jin Wei's birthday. And here are some pictures from that night :

Me, Jin Wei, Jun Ken

Main Course - Victoria Steak

The shrimp appetizer

Birthday boy with his little cupcakes

Overall, the food was good and of course, it's expensive but worth the try anyway. The steak is one of the best that I've ever eaten. Will definitely go back there again some time in the future.=)

****************

Okay. I'm not sure I've said this how many times already but sorry for the absence for such a long time. I didn't blog as often as I used to be last time. I have been receiving complaints from you-know-who for not blogging. Peeps, don't blame me. I'm too busy right now. I'll be in campus everyday on weekdays from 8am and only reach home at 6pm. I'll be dead tired by the time I reach home. Time spent on blogging is a luxury thing for me to do.

Besides, I don't have my own camera yet in KL. I left mine in Ipoh for my sis to use. The pictures above were all taken using my iPhone and as you can see, the quality of the pictures sucks. I need a camera. As my writing sucks, I need pictures to back me up. Well, I suck in taking pictures too. So yea, you don't get the best of both worlds in my blog here but the worst of both. Anyway, I'll be getting myself a new camera earliest at the end of this month or early next month. And then, I'll update my blog more often on my life here in Sunway.

Till then, take care my friends and see ya around. =)

My Country, My Pride

2010-08-31T22:52:00.000+08:00

It's 31st of August. I have not been blogging for some time but somehow, I just got a feeling to write something on my blog tonight.

It's Merdeka!

I would just like to wish my country to prosper and the people to grow together in this time of difficulties. Lately, many have been said and done that make us turn against each other. But let us not forget what have been gone through in order for us to have a comfort home that protect us from rain and shine. To destroy what we have right now would only take a second, but to gain it back, it might takes a lifetime. Appreciate what we have right now.

My fellow friends,

Let us all live in peace and harmony. Make our country a better place. For you and for me.

We are all Malaysians.

For the dreary soul

2010-08-04T02:08:00.003+08:00

Weak and wounded sinner,
Lost and left to die,
O, raise your head for Love is passing by

Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus,
Come to Jesus and live

Now your burden's lifted,
And carried far away,
And precious blood has washed away the stain... so

Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus ,
Sing to Jesus and live

And like a newborn baby,
Don't be afraid to crawl,
And remember when you walk sometimes we fall... so

Fall on Jesus,
Fall on Jesus,
Fall on Jesus and live

Sometimes the way is lonely,
And steep and filled with pain,
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain... then

Cry to Jesus,
Cry to Jesus,
Cry to Jesus and live

O, and when the love splills over,
And music fills the night,
And when you can't contain you joy inside... then

Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus,
Dance for Jesus and live

And with your final heartbeat,
Kiss the world goodbye,
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side... and

Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus,
Fly to Jesus and live

Wisdom

2010-07-27T00:18:00.001+08:00

The older saints who trust God’s Word
Have trod where younger ones now walk,
They’ve fought the battles they will fight,
Their wisdom teaches truth and right,

The little ones who turn away from God's Word,
Have fallen and lost their way,
They run for the glory but not the race,
Their knowledge is as shallow as the river,

But when the little ones found the truth,
Wisdom will be given unto them,
They will be strong,
Standing and picking up themselves after every fall,

Everyone's faith is small,
But by trusting God,
You can stand firmly on the ground,
While your hands reach out for the stars.

Departing

2010-07-24T10:56:00.002+08:00

Will be leaving Ipoh in 2 weeks time. Hope that I'll savour every moment before going over to Sunway. It gonna be a precious 2 weeks time. Till then, God bless. =)

Redang Island Trip

2010-06-05T00:27:00.010+08:00

- Edited July 12th -

So yea, these are some of the pictures that I've got from the Redang Trip with my friends in May. So long for the update? Thanks to Blogger. I could not upload any pictures into my blog for don't know what reason. And so I postponed this blog post till today. I still have a lot of pictyres actually. Above are all the pictures that I've uploaded once I'm back from Redang and till now, I still could not upload any pictures. And this explain why I didn't update my blog. Might change to Wordpress later on.

Fave MVs

2010-05-26T23:13:00.003+08:00

Just wanna share some of my favourite Korean MVs in my blog. Enjoy watching them. =)

PS : Still working out on my Redang trip post. Patience peeps. =)

Justifiable

2010-05-21T01:25:00.000+08:00

An old man with his old wife complaining about their son's family in the train. Two old people who worked their socks off to raise this son but were treated badly by the son. They went all the way to KL to visit their son but to their despair, they were scolded by the son and his wife. Instead of the son giving money to the parents to use, the two old people need to give money to their son.

An old aunty took a bus all the way to the bus station. Exchange bus and went to Greentown Digi's Center to settle the son's handphone bill amounting up to RM700+. The poor old aunty's son registered the handphone line using the mother's name. Poor aunty told the Digi girl at the counter that she could only spare RM20 per month to repay the debt.

An old aunty. At her 50s or 60s. Work day and night at Jusco TGV as cleaner. Head of all the cleaners to be exact. 2 in the morning and she still need to be at the cinema to make sure that the workers clean everything before they go off.

An old aunty that could always be seen around in my neighbourhood area with her old motor. Going house to house or garbage bins to garbage bins to collect old cans or other materials that could be reused or to be sold. But the good thing is that I saw her today with a new motor. Not exactly to be a new one, a second hand one but at least it looks newer and better than the previous old one.

I don't know why but I just feel like sharing these with you guys.

I always ask myself this, "How could there be two people from two different world when there is only one world?"

The season changes and the world turns around. Yesterdays are gone and today we are not the same. We are living in a world of rush and where money matters most. I couldn't deny but I'm just the same like everyone else. Purpose of life? I'm finding an answer for myself as well. Wondering what will tomorrow holds for me?

And this is one of my favourite bible phrases :

Jeremiah 29:11-14
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me."

And this is the phrase that I hold on closely to myself in my everyday life. Full of hopes and faith.=)

Break Broke

2010-05-10T13:45:00.000+08:00

When sem break comes, that's when I go broke. Went to KL with Kelvin Ow and Ian for some fun. And here some of the pictures captured :

Not much pictures. The pictures shown above are just a small part of the many things we did there. I brought my camera there but didn't use it at all. All these pictures are taken by Ow. Nothing really special on this trip, just another typical KL trip. Enjoyed it and had lots of fun though. =)

Mama's Day

2010-05-09T23:50:00.009+08:00

Happy Mother's Day to my mum and to all the mothers all around the world!

Autumn's Concerto

2010-05-04T22:10:00.002+08:00

Finally. Back to what I do best on my blog. Making a drama or movie review. It has been such a long time since I last wrote one about this. As everyone knows, I'm currently having a long sweet break. Probably a 3 months break. Not working yet for this month. Going to have some trips and of course doing what I love the most, watching dramas and movies.

So yea, I'm finally done watching Autumn's Concerto. The first and the only Taiwanese drama that I managed to finish. I never like Taiwanese drama. The reason is that they put too much unnecessary comedy into a supposed to be romantic drama. For example, the Wei Xiao Pasta by Nicholas Teo or the don't know 'what prince that turns into a frog' drama by Ethan Ruan. Could really vomit blood when watching it. Some scenes never make sense at all or I call it lame. I prefer Korean and Chinese drama more than Taiwanese ones.

As a big fan of TV dramas of course I do check out on all the latest dramas on the internet and I found out about this drama, Autumn's Concerto being the drama with the highest ratings of all time and breaking all the records. It was during my 3rd semester when I searched for it. Still have doubts whether to watch it or not but when I knew that one of my fave artist, Vanness Wu is the main actor, I've made up my mind to go for it. Sem break came. Last Wednesday exactly. Came back to Ipoh and I went on to Speedy to search for the dvd on the next day. Without a moment of hesitation, I bought the dvd for a hundred buck. Took a risk that I feel that it's worth it at that time. Rate this drama 5 out of 5. No regrets staying up till late night just to watch this drama.

Just finished watching it less than half an hour ago and I've decided to blog about it before I get lazy or forget about it.

My review on this drama :

This drama started off like most of the dramas. The female and male actors met each other in a university and fall in love with each other. Together they went through ups and downs. The turning point of this drama is when Ren Guang Xi went for brain tumor operation and lost all his memories while Liang Mu Cheng got pregnant at that moment and left him. Losing all his memories? Something common among all the other dramas. But this time around, this drama focus on what happened 6 years after the operation. Mu Cheng raised the kid all by her own while Guang Xi is having a life on his own in that period of time. They met again after 6 years. To cut things short and for me to write less, together they went through back the same cycle of obstacles before they got back together as a happy family.

What makes this drama special?
1) People want something different in every drama. This drama tells a different love story instead of the normal ones that we watch on the tv. In this drama, it talks about the love between a couple who already has a children in their family. The struggle they have to endure is not just like what a normal couple but as a couple that need to rebuild their love relationship and also the family. A solid and meaningful storyline. The theme of the drama is clearly shown and acted out.
2) The cute little kid acting as Xiao Le had a great contribution in this drama. I'm sure that lots of people love him a lot. The same goes to the supporting actor and actress, Tuo Ye and Yi Jian. Unlike the other dramas where it only focus on the main actor and actress, the main and supporting actors and actresses actually had their share on the screen, everyone played a vital part in the storyline.
3) Good acting from everyone especially the main actor, Vanness as Guang Xi and main actress, Ady An as Mu Cheng. For Ady, she got into her character very much and deeply. Emotions displayed by her are flawless, goes on very well with the storyline. And for Vanness, huge improvement from him. Never expect that actually. But he did it and congratz to him. Hope to see him more in the upcoming dramas.
3) The OST of this drama is damn nice. The OST played matches very well with the scene or situation in the drama. Or maybe perhaps this time around the OST is sang in mandarin and I could understand it instead of those Korean OST.
4) Fresh. This drama is different than the other Taiwanese dramas. Fast paced and not draggy. Does not have any stupid comedy or cold jokes or any unnecessary scenes.
5) Good and happy ending for this drama. Fantastic ending to an utterly amazing drama. No doubt about this.

Some of the memorable quotes :
Ren Guang Xi: Once upon a time, there was a princess who was kidnapped by the devil. The devil said to her, "You can continue screaming (till you" 'lose your voice', 'nobody' is coming to save you."
And the princess started screaming, 'lose your voice! lose your voice!'
Do you know who came?
Liang Mu Cheng: Who?
Ren Guang Xi: 'Nobody' came. There was a man called 'Nobody'. Because the princess shouted, 'lose your voice,' so just like what the devil said, 'Nobody' came. He came to save the princess.
Liang Mu Cheng: That's so lame.
Ren Guang Xi: I'm not just trying to make you laugh. What I want to say is, if you come across any danger in the future, you don't need to scream until you lose your voice. You just need to call out the name, Ren Guang Xi, and I will come to save you.

-----------

Xiao Le to Mu Cheng :
You adults are the strangest animal in this whole wide world *pat Mu Cheng on the head*

--------

Mu Cheng: 6 years ago...I truly love you. This is what I had hidden from you for 6 years...an unspoken promise. If I told you, I love you, can you, for this reason, stay?
Guang Xi: I will leave...if you ever let go of my hand again.

Drama MV :

PS : It has been seasons since I really got myself into writing a drama review. Not sure what I've written is good or not. Might sucks big time. But trust me, this drama is worth watching. Highly recommended by me. =)

PPS : Another drama that I would like to recommend would be the Korean drama The Time Between Dog and Wolf. Another wonderful drama that I watched during the last sem break.

I just realised that this is probably the best drama I've ever watched. Probably only, not too sure yet though. Cause unlike other dramas, once I finished watching them, I would go for another one. But this time around, I don't want to watch any other dramas. I hope that I could continue watching this drama, Autumn's Concerto. I hope that this drama would never have an ending and I could go on watching forever. Too bad, they will never have another spin off for this drama. To fill in my addiction, I'm listening to the drama's OST everytime I'm using my laptop or when I'm driving. =)

不要吻我　只要抱著我　不要愛我　做我的親人
把手借我　一天一分鐘　做我最親密的親人
不是誰的情人　誰的某某某

CLICK ON IT : The Stars In Our Lives

~Like the reflection on the mirror, how many times do we need to reflect on our mistakes that one day, we will actually stop making anymore mistakes in our lives?~

~Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up~

PS : Confusing post? This is what happened when being awake in the middle of the dark.

Laughed My Lungs Out

2010-04-29T14:00:00.002+08:00

My two little cousin brother and sister sent these to me. Videos of them acting as an artist. I can't stop laughing when I watched it. Cute little kids. XD

Patiently wait for the video to load. It might takes some time.

PS : Anyone got any jobs to intro? =)

Goodbye Kampar

2010-04-27T21:25:00.005+08:00

My home in Westlake

~ Just when everything else fades, the sun will never fail to shine upon us~

Time flies and goes like lightning speed. Everything seems to have happened just in the yesterdays. Tonight is indeed my last night in this house, in this room that I have been staying for 3 semesters. One year is gone. Just packed up everything in my room and it feels weird. Weird that I can’t believe I’m leaving this comfort zone that I hold onto dearly. I feel weird. The room that was once full with my stuffs is now empty, just with my luggage and my laptop. It feels like I have just moved into this room. An inexplicable feeling that I do not know how to describe. Perhaps it is because that I could not believe that I’ll be leaving Kampar.

I will miss the food over here. Though there’s nothing really nice to eat but this is the place that I have been having my dinner for the past 3 semesters. The mamak stalls that are always full with students, the burger Ramli that you need to wait for almost half an hour to get yours, the cybercafés, and lots more. I will definitely miss the night life over here.

Besides, I will also miss driving back to Kampar every Monday morning. I will miss the feeling of fear and excitement while cutting cars in the narrow ‘kampung road’ on the way to Kampar. I will miss driving in Westlake housing area where I always need to avoid banging on the cyclists. I will miss the speed bumps in Westlake that are abnormally freaking high that I need to hit on the brake pedal so hard.

Without a shadow of doubt, I’ll miss you all a lot. And I mean that. Will come back often to visit you all.

Gosh. I just miss a lot of things in Kampar. =/

Anyway, to all my friends that I hold on closely to my heart, sorry if I did not inform any of you that I’m actually leaving. I had a lot a lot of wonderful times with you guys while studying here and I treasure it very much.

This is just a short post from me. Will write more next time on my life in Kampar next time. This post is sort of a teaser to the many upcoming posts that I’ll share everything about my life in UTAR. Will write a very much longer and detailed post to express my ‘love’ towards everyone of you. And no worries, I’ll tag every of my friends over here onto that post. Promise.

And probably. Probably this would be my last post update on my blog in Kampar.

Till fate falls on us, we shall meet again my friends. =)

Written from the bottom of my heart.

I'm 19

2010-04-25T11:25:00.002+08:00

Another year gone. I'm now 19 years old. My final year as a teenager and I'll be entering the 20s stage. Unlike the previous years, didn't really have a blast. Did not manage to hold a birthday party with Lim again. All of us are busy with the final examinations this week. Went out for mamak with friends on my birthday midnight and had a typical dinner together. But nevertheless, this year birthday is stil somehow special. Thanks for all the surprise birthday calls, birthday SMS-es, and of course all the birthday wishes in Facebook. It took me a lot a lot of time to reply them. Thanks a lot people! Appreciate that. And as a memory, I've decided to print screen all the comments and post it all up here in my blog. =)

Again, thank you very much. And have a nice day. =)

PS : I spent my whole day of birthday in the library. =/ But just 2 more days and I'll break free. =D

Do or Die

2010-04-21T00:45:00.001+08:00

I have gained a lot of weight since I started studying in Kampar. Don't know why. People should start to lose weight when enter uni as they will have more pressure and stress in studies. But I'm different. Life must have been really awesome for me then.

After all the glorious food and the laziness to go and exercise, I have to do something and put an end before I gain even more weight.

And this is what I did :

I've just signed up for gym sessions at Fitness Embassy with Victor.

Hope that I'll have a good time. =)

Hatyai Trip

2010-04-21T00:20:00.004+08:00

Went to Hatyai with my fellow churchmates from the 17 to 19th. And below here are the pictures taken with my camera throughout the whole trip. There are still lots more in Uncle Lau's camera. So here there are. Enjoy.

At the Thai border

THE FIRST DAY

The first restaurant that the 'kai' brought us to. *kai=tour guide leader* It was a chicken rice shop. He said that the chicken is very 'tan ngar'(canto) and very nice. But I just felt that it was normal. I still prefer Ipoh's Lou Wong ngar choi kai.

The bottled air tebu

The fishballs. Nothing special.

The chicken. Taste okay. Very small portion for a group of 5 people.

The 'siu yuk'. Small portion. Gave us not the not so nice part of the siu yuk. Disappointing. Not nice at all.

After that the 'kai' brought us to a zoo. Phew. Luckily the guys(me,Drew,Bertin,Victor, and Xue Yuan) decided to stay in the bus sleeping with air cond while the rest went out under the hot blistering sun. They went for a mini bus ride around the zoo. And the comment given was like this, " Very hot. Kena tipu. Cannot see anything. Only trees!!!" A wise decision made.

And then we went on to the aquarium. Tempted to see what's so cool with this Songklah Aquarium. Paid 300 Bath (100Bath=RM10) and went in. It was just okay. Too too expensive for a less than 100 metre walk in the aquarium.

Then we went on to a restaurant besides the Songklah beach. The food was just okay okay except for the tom yum which tasted really good. Forgot to take any pictures of the food. But only some syok sendiri pictures.

Finally we checked into the Lee Gardens Plaza Hotel. Same room with Andrew. And the coolest thing is that our room is connected to Tin, Vic, and Gan's room. And yea, the hotel room is really nice.

Testing on one of the so many mirrors in the hotel room

The busy street below the hotel.

Oh dinner at night sucks. It was a Chinese restaurant in the hotel. Sucks big time that I did not take any pictures. Not that I forgot!

Had singspiration, sharings, and messages on the first night.

One of the food hawkers along the street.

Had this bowl of noodles. And it's delicious!

They call it 'chum chum'

Sotong bakar or known as 'yau yu'. Taste not bad, but expensive. 200Bath for 2 piece of this thing.

One of the best thing in Thailand is the alcohol. Serious SHYT, it was cheap, very very cheap. *learned to use the word Serious SHYT from Bertin*. 220Bath for a can of 325ml of Carlsberg. 310Bath for Heineken. And they even have 500ml of Heineken. Chivas for 649Bath. Absolut Vodka for 550Bath. And lots lots more. But too bad, I can't bring any of them back to Malaysia. Need to stay at least 3 nights to run taxes and I only stayed for 2 nights. Or else I'll be buying dozens of it back to Malaysia. So yea, didn't have the chance to buy any liquor but just these 3 bottles. Can't get these in Malaysia. Tried it and it taste real nice. And 3 bottles of these costs me only 150Bath.

Besides, we bought lots of oily food along the street.

Victor was sick and had fever on the next day. He missed out the entire day trip of the second day.

THE SECOND DAY

Had breakfast and lunch buffet in the hotel. Also had a morning worship session. Then we went to pasar in the afternoon. Bought a lot a lot a lot of things. The guys bought a lot more things than the girls. Bargaining with aunties was really fun. We spent an average 2000Bath on the second day. Totally broke and exhausted on that day.

After that we went to the floating market. And this time, we really had Thai food. It was a heaven of food.

After the food at the floating market, took a half an hour bus ride and we had dinner!!!

Straight back to the hotel after dinner.

The things that we bought in the pasar!

A picture of us in the 'tut tut' car. We have 'adventure' in Ipoh. So why not Thailand. After all, this is the origin place of the 'adventure'. And so we decided to take a trip.

Hapi Hapi

Wah lang si peng yu, wo boh pian lu eh. Lai qi hapi hapi

Kah kee Lang

4 steps

Well, these are the words used in the conversation between us with the 'tut tut' driver. It's an inside joke. hehe! But nevertheless, we chickened out and didn't complete the adventure.

After the 'adventure', we went for massage for a total of 3 hours!!! Had foot massage then whole Thai body massage. One word to describe that experience, 'Crazy'.

Had supper before going back to hotel and sleep. Nothing much on the third day. A bit of shopping and had fried porridge at Serdang for dinner before going back to Ipoh

That's the end of the trip.

Had a wonderful time with you guys. Hope to have more of this in the future. And by the way, got a lot of videos captured in our hotel room in my camera. Rated 18SG or 18SX. XD

Till then, take care peeps! =)

PS : Sorry about the alignment and spacing of the sentences. Stupid Blogspot still never repair this error after so many years. Sigh!

1218 Farewell Party

2010-04-20T22:00:00.001+08:00

One year. Well, actually it's a week more and it will be a total of one year that we have lived together under the same roof. So as a remembrance, William and I organized this farewell party. Thanks everyone for coming and making this night a wonderful one. We had lots of fun eating, chatting, playing cards and drinking together. It was a great night. But perhaps the last night that we are able to gather everyone of us together. =/

PS : Will blog more about this home of mine in Kampar and the memories with my housemates in the upcoming posts. The spirit of 1218. =)

Easter

2010-04-05T23:04:00.001+08:00

What does Easter means to you?

The Difference

2010-03-29T01:45:00.005+08:00

The grass is always greener on the other side.
*not just places, it might be other people's lives as well*

There's a difference in everything and in everyone's life.
The difference between dream and reality.

I call it fate and destiny.

Or perhaps there's a reason why.

PS : My mind just cease into deep thoughts again.

My Last Sem

2010-03-15T22:10:00.002+08:00

Yes my friends. You didn't see wrongly. It's my last sem. My final sem in Utar Kampar.

I'm now into my final 7 weeks and I'll complete my foundation studies. Sorry that I can quite certain to say that I will not be staying over in Utar to continue my degree studies. Will be going over to KL, most probably to Sunway UC. There are still many other possibilities though. Fingers crossed, I'm undecided yet.

Not sure if you guys would be happy or sad to see me leaving but I'll make the most out of these remaining weeks in Kampar to make it a really memorable one. Without a shadow of doubt, I have no regrets and glad that I made the decision to study here for my foundation. Though there are times when I doubt it but overall, I feel that it is a good decision. What we have in Kampar, we'll never get it elsewhere. The environment, lifestyle, and most importantly the number of people we have over here. It's incomparable. Kampar is a student's town. And my friends, you all are the ones that really make my stay over here a colourful one. Glad that I got to know every single one of you.

But I have decided to leave. It has always been in my plan that I will only do my foundation here. I'm adventurous. I'm feeling very comfortable right here in Kampar. I have almost everything under one roof. But I can't stay still. I need fresh challenges. I can't wait to embark on another new journey in my life. I'm happy and full of excitement. I can plan whatever I want but I'll never know what holds for me in the future. It might be all totally different from what I planned. It's all in God's hands. That's why I'm really excited and feel all over the moon about it.

I had 2 great semesters. Wonderful and beautiful. Of course there are ups and downs along the pathway but thank God that I'm still standing strongly on my feet. Besides, I am once again the leader for both my subject's assignments for this final sem. So in total, I have become the group leader for all the 14 different subjects that I have studied over the period of 3 semesters for my foundation studies. Just couldn't believe that I was able to make it through. Again, all praises unto you Lord.

What else? This is just another short post from me. I just hope to have a really good good time with my friends and my housemates before I leave. I'll write more once I complete everything in May.

Till then, stay tune and wait for my next post. =)

UTARians Nightout

2010-03-15T21:06:00.001+08:00

At Barroom / Club9

For many reasons, it was definitely a night to be remembered.

Ber & Shi

2010-02-25T02:50:00.000+08:00

Sorry that I blog this out so late. The same old excuse, I've been busy. Well, actually I'm not sure what am I busy with, just that I need more time.

Shireen Chow and Bernice Ong. Count off Jennifer. Both of you were probably the first two girls that I got to know in EY when I was Form 2 during the year end CHC thingy. The first benchmark set on my mind for EY girls, couldn't believe that it was the both of you.=P

Flash forward. Time flies and we are now all grown up. Not till I'm writing this that I realised that I've got to know you girls for such a long time already. Those years felt like yesterdays for me. Both of you are in Aussie studying and here I am right now writing this post specially for you girls.

Let's start off with you, Bernice Ong

Nice picture huh? =P

Bernice, you're the more 'si man' or in other words, more feminine one, so do take care of Shireen's attitudes/actions/behaviours/emotions. And don't worry too much back here in Ipoh. Will make sure that Kevin Koon never gets to flirt around with girls. =P

And now you, Shireen Chow. =)
I know you wanna thank me. You're welcome. =)

And for Shireen, you're the more 'independent' and the 'stronger' one. You know how I term those two words for you already right? XD So, do protect Bernice and don't let people bully her since Kevin Koon is not around. Shireen Chow, I know you're tough and strong, but do be reminded that any problems or difficulties, don't always carry that burden or load all on your own okay.

ONE LAST THING SHIREEN CHOW LI YEANG!

Do take care of your diet. LOL! I'm afraid that the next time you won't be able to come out from your car at all when you're back. And yah, I'll never forget that you're on 'my list'. =)

Here's your farewell song :

What else can I say? It has been a blessing to know you girls. Thank you for the memory and for everything. You girls shall keep going strong over there.

Found a lot of our pictures. But somehow, I felt that this is the best. A very nostalgic one.

Take care there and till then, we shall meet again.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. Their smiles and gestures light up our world. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same"

The End of Semester 2

2010-02-11T02:10:00.002+08:00

I should have blog this on last Saturday once after my examination. Was too tired. I told myself to blog on Sunday. But I ended up sleeping whole day and night long. Slept a lot at home and when I've finally gained back my freshness to blog or do something. I got myself 2 TVB dramas. Really got myself into the dramas and it made me lazy to blog. So here I am right now. Taking a break from my TVB dramas just to finish this post off.

14 weeks gone. Trust me. I just couldn't believe I'm now heading to my final semester of my foundation in just a few weeks time. And after that I'll be doing my degree. Then I'll be off to the world of reality, which means the working world. Time flies. Everyone is heading towards their own pathways in life. Shireen and Bernice will be flying off to Australia. They have grown up, so am I.

Back to the topic which I'll share the ups and downs of my 2nd semester, didn't manage to share things on my blog for the 1st semester, so hopefully this one would make up for it.

First of foremost, I made kind of a terrible decision last semester(1st semester). It was bothering me throughout the whole semester. The outcome was expected since I've already know the consequences on the actions I've taken. Yet, I've got no regrets. I've pulled off all the strings, left no stones unturned, and gave my all. I know that things might be better if I choose the other option. But again, as I said, this is the road I've taken and I've got no regrets. Nevertheless, all have passed and I could just look at it as a valuable lesson that I could learn from. Confused with what I said? Approach me personally and I'll tell you on this matter.

Move on. One of the wonderful things about this semester is that I've got to know a lot a lot of new friends. Because this semester grouping is not done and fixed by UTAR, I have all different classmates for tutorials and lectures. Looking at the very bright side, of course this will also give me the ultimate chance to know more girls(ok. i mean guys also. =P). But there is a weakness. Because I've got totally different people in the tutorials and lectures, it's harder to get closer to them. It's like you need to socialise with 100-200 over people in a time frame of 14 weeks. Managed to know most of them but the strength of the friendship could hardly go any stronger cause it's hard to actually spend time and socialise with each and everyone of them. But nevertheless, the ones that I could click with, I actually managed to be closer with them.

Next would be the assignments. They are killers. Cruel and merciless killers. Review on every subject :

Management : I actually did the whole Management assignment on my own. Did not sleep for 3 nights in a row and even got my laptop screen burn off. But satisfaction for this subject is very high. Managed to get really good results for my report and the group presentation is the best in the class. Thought that my groupmates would let me down for the presentation but last minute efforts managed to hit the jackpot!

Marketing : This subject was another pain. Only me and another girl that really contributed and committed. Again, we did not sleep the whole night before the submission day. This assignment was another one that I could not expect to be so well. Only minus one mark for both my report and presentation. That was near perfect!

Sociology : There are 14 lectures for this subject in 14 weeks. To be frank, I only went for 1 lecture and a half. The half was that I left the lecture hall halfway when the lecturer is teaching. After my first lecture of this subject on my first week when I'm all so fired to work hard for a new sem, this lecture sent me straight to hit the sack. It's like the most boring and useless subject on the Earth with nothing related to the business field at all. We study about those theories and perspective views by those philosophers. There are so many weird terms. Assignments and presentations were okay. BUT. But. This subject is in fact one of my fave after taking 12 different subjects in sem 1 and sem2. While studying all the lecture notes and my textbook for my final sem examination, when I go deeper into this subject, I realised that this subject is very interesting. The terms are great. They are really complicated and profound. I could actually applicate those terms in my real life. Causing semantic noise when speaking to people with those jargon and profound words or terms. It's really cool when people show you the blur face unless they did study Sociology before and understand what I meant. In a nutshell, this subject is very very very interesting!

Mass Comm : Simple enough. Lecture by Sir Joe, of course it would be interesting. Not a tough subject nor it's really that simple. This is the one of the two subjects that I really have my group members to commit themselves and work together. The press conference which I've mentioned in this post. That was the biggest presentation that I've ever done so far. Really proud and feel happy with what my group had achieved. "Best press conference," Miss Chuah said. These little words could still be heard in my ears till right now. The memory is priceless.

Writing For Business : A boring subject but very useful in the future. Coursework marks was not that high. Reports was okay and so do the preparation. This is due to the underestimation of this subject and my carefree attitude thinking that this subject is simple and easy to score. Got myself wrong eventually. But overall, not that bad actually.

Webpage Design : My feeling towards this subject is 'neutral'. Neither like nor dislike. But the coursework marks was really a big pain. 30/50. Which means I've lost 20 marks even before I sit for my final examination. Confirm no A. And I freaking hate the webpage coding. Need to memorise so much. The night or I mean few hours before the examination, I even thought that I would fail this subject. Could hardly get the codes into my mind. That was the time where I really prayed so hard to God in Kampar. So hard that I made many promises to God. I was an inch close to death. I managed to memorise all the theory part of the subject. But the codes just can't get into my mind. It needs practice and it was too late. I was just around 5 hours away from the examination time when I realised that I could not really memorise them. I can't afford to fail. If fail, I have to retake the subject and extend another semester which means I'll be late for my degree. My parents would kill me if I fail. Many thoughts came into my mind. Was damn nervous and I could not get a single webpage code into my mind. I prayed and I prayed non stop. An hour before the examination, I fetched my friends. In the car, I was saying that if the paper ask lots of coding questions, I'll be dead. Thanks Jeffrey. You gave me hope and taught me the whole section of coding for the 'frame part' in less than half an hour which could help me score a lot in the exam. The moment came. I sat down on my desk and flip through the paper. It was like heaven for me. My eyes were watery and I could not explain how I really felt. It's like 70% of the questions in the paper are theory questions and the rest are coding. I managed to answer almost all the theory questions and some of the codings as well. I asked God for a 'pass' but God gave me more than I ever wanted. I could now aim for C and above. If it was not because of my coursework marks, I could have aimed for a B or an A. I was really unlucky. The tutor that I've got is the strictest among all the other tutors. The webpage that my group designed is as good as the other who got over 40 plus for their coursework marks. But my tutor seek for perfection. The average mark for all the other groups in Arts stream is around 35 plus over 50. And I got 30. People who gets over 40 marks could just close their eyes in the examination hall and pass while I have to spend the whole night worrying. It was not fair. I hate it. But yet I'm thankful for it. It was through that moment when I prayed to God that I managed to realise that I am not a hero. I can't do all things on my own. I managed to do so for all the other subjects and I thought that I could do the same for this one. But I was wrong. I need God's help. Only through him I am strong, not by myself. Thank God for this experience.

In conclusion, it was a great ride of roller coaster for this semester. I have now led 12 groups for all the 12 different subjects in these two semesters. Being a leader is tiring but I enjoy it very much. Besides, I'm the only guy for my management and marketing assignment group. Could see the other guys in my class or other classes looking at me with their eyes wide open! Last but not least, hope that I'll get good results for my final examination.

Some of the pictures taken throughout the whole semester :

My Webpage design group

PS : I've just realised that I took very little pictures this sem and for 2 sems I've studied here in Kampar. I don't even have a pict with my heng tais (Loh, Bryan, JinEu, CK, and Chun Meng). We talk, play, and crap with each other everyday in Kampar but we actually never had a picture together. Must not repeat all these mistakes in our final semester.

PPS : Not really happy that we will all be heading to our final semester. After that, we'll all be heading to our own pathway. Some going to PJ or Setapak, some staying back in Kampar, some changing uni, and I'm a bit undecided right now. To follow the plan that I had for myself way or to make changes. Seriously need to pray about this matter. Do not want to make any mistake, it will be a very costly one.

Relaxation

2010-02-09T22:05:00.006+08:00

Finally, I've got my paycheck. In a dilemma on what to do with it. Managed to save some penny during the month of exam. So yea, don't know whether to upgrade my car or spend it on a new handphone? Or on my holiday trips? Or should I save them in the bank?

PS : Enjoying my sem break. Watching the drama 'Born Rich'. Gallen Lo has always been one of my favourite actor but this time around, I hate his character very much! Oh yea, I'm blogging this while watching the drama on my laptop at the same time. =)

PPS : Click click click on the ads in my blog. I can't wait for the next paycheck! Thank you. =P

Phoebeeeeeeeeee

2010-02-03T01:30:00.000+08:00

Happy Happy Birthday Phoebe! Wishing you all the best and take care over there. You're officially 18. No presents for you. But a birthday post for you on my blog worth much more than anything that money could get. Priceless. Blessed birthday to ya. =)

PS : My 2nd ever birthday dedication on my blog. First to a girl. Thank me Phoebe! Thank ME! XD

Inexplicable

2010-01-25T15:45:00.007+08:00

For better or for worse, I know I've changed.

More or less, I don't know.

But I know that I needed a change once more.

A change in me.

PS : It has been some time since I last thought of this phrase, "How I wish I could turn back the time."

I Dropped Some Blood

2010-01-23T01:55:00.004+08:00

On 20th of January 2010. There was this Blood Donation Drive organized by the First Aid Society. And... For the first time in my life, I donated 450ml of my blood.

Here are the moments captured throughout the whole process of me donating blood :

After checking my weight, my blood type, and blood pressure, this is how the flow goes :

Waiting to be officially registered as a blood donor

Registering...

The others waiting for their turn

The donors

Taking those tubes. I don't know what they call them. >.<

Checking my buku merah

The nurse eye expression is funny!

Here I am giving my blood

My blood

Donate blood also must pose!

And I'm done.

'Electrifying' the nurse! LOL!

The 450ml of blood that I've donated

Okay. For those people out there that never donate any blood before. Please do so. Your little act might do wonders for the others. You will never know if your blood could actually save someone's life. Plus you will get lots of gifts, food and drinks after donating blood. So then you can actually save some penny to pay for your own lunch or dinner or whatever. And then, you've got this buku merah where it was stated that for a specific number of times you donated your blood, you will actually have some hospital privelleges and etc. So yea, what are you waiting for?=)

Pictures by William & Valentine.

PS : Recently I talked to a few of my old St.John friends and asked around about the others as well. And I just found out that most of them are now studying either medicine, nursing, physician or pharmacist. They are all in the medical line. I never knew that their time in St.John during secondary school would have such a huge impact on them. I wonder why am I not studying anything related to the medical line. I spent my time just as much as they spent their time on St.John. =/

The Almighty Joe

2010-01-22T23:45:00.005+08:00

He ain't just big. He's huge. And his name is Joe

I've written before about Steven as the teacher that I have a lot of respect for him on this post. So this time around, I'll write about the lecturer that I respect the most in UTAR.This lecturer would be no other than Sir Joe. He's young. He's huge. And he's great.I was in his lecture and tutorial class for Sem 1 for Public Speaking while I only got to be in his lecture class in Sem 2 for Mass Comm.

Skipping for lecture classes and tutorials is something very common. Not sure about any other uni, but in UTAR, everyone skip like nobody business. This explain why they are over 200 students on the exam bar list. Back to the almighty Joe, for Sem 1, I never skip his lecture and tutorial classes before, not even a single one. It was a really proud record that I'm holding on till today. All the other subjects I skip like everyone else does but of course, I'll never be in the bar list.

I love his classes. He makes the dull and boring lecture notes to come alive. People never fall asleep in his class. He always tell us jokes, stories, and his own personal experience. I could still remember on my first tutorial class with him for Public Speaking. He entered the class and said this, "So I'm teaching public speaking. Public speaking simply means speaking in a public area. Now, think of a product that you want to sell or promote. You have 5 minutes to think about it and present it." . Alright, if that's challenging, wait a moment. After 5 minutes, he continued, "Okay people, pack your bag. We are now going down to the library compound there where all the students would be hanging around over there, every one of you will present in front there." . Enough said. That was the thrill and excitement I had on my first tutorial class with him. Since then, it was all fun and wonderful moments learning from him. He's more than a lecturer and a tutor. He's a friend to everyone of us.

Of course, I have countless number of times being called by him to use me as an 'example' when he's teaching, to click the slides for him, to sing, to intro myself and to do silly stuffs in front of everyone in the lecture class. That includes DDK1. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun in his lecture classes.

As I said, he always share stories with us. One of his most memorable one would be the story he shared with us in his Mass Comm Lecture. He told us about his job last time when he works in the PR line. Not going to share the story over here, it's kind of long and it's his personal experience, what was said by him shall remained in the 4 walls of the lecture hall. But he just remind us with this phrase, " No one in this world would have done something so bad or poor or any failure that he/she deserved to be calles a thrash. No one in this world. No one. Everyone is gifted and blessed in their own ways.". It was a simple phrase from him but it was the red watery eyes from him when he said those words that left such a huge impact everyone. It was pin drop silence when he said those words out. And me too, I believe that what he said was very true indeed.

I enjoy reading his blog. One of the very few that I follow closely. So my fellow Utarians reading my blog here, do drop by at his blog when you're free.

Lastly, here are some pictures from his last class with us, his last class in UTAR, Kampar, and probably his last moment with everyone of us. He'll be leaving to Aus to do his masters.

Special moments captured :

Thanks for everything Sir Joe! =)

What I Would Like To Do

2010-01-17T02:10:00.001+08:00

Such a boring night. Should be revising for my finals that will be coming soon in 2 weeks time but yet I'm blogging over here.

Don't really know what to blog about but all of a sudden this topic just pops into my mind. I could still remember when we were in primary school, the class teacher will ask us this question every year, "Boy, beritahu cikgu 3 hobi anda dan 3 cita-cita anda pada masa depan." . Every year I would give different answers and when I left the school and look at the report ( Analisis Pelajar ), I just could not stop laughing. From one year I chose to be a police to a following year where I chose to be a teacher. And my hobbies would be the likes of football, badminton and etc.

Looking back, how easy was it for us to give those answers. As we grow older, we know that there's a huge difference in wanting something and having something. For hobbies, yes, everyone could have their own one but for our ambition, what we want to be will never be what we are going to be in the future. Just ask anyone, not all, but most will probably tell you that the job that they are having right now isn't the dream ambition that they once want to be.

I never believe it till I get older. It's easy for you to say something out but it's way much harder and tougher for you to eventually achieve it.

If there's one job that I would like to have in the future, that would be a director. I grow up watching a lot of movies and dramas. I love watching them. It would be a dream come true if I could be a director, script writer and a producer for my own movie. I love to dream and let my imaginations go beyond boundaries. I would like my work to be shown and shared with with everyone. Words just could not describe the satisfaction. Directors like Yasmin Ahmad and Jack Neo are inspiring. They have their own style and for every movie they make, no doubt, there will be a very strong message behind. What say the top Hollywood and Chinese movies top directors, they are just equally awesome.

I love movies. I come back to Ipoh almost every week from Kampar. One of the things that I'll be looking forward to would be watching movies in the cinema. I watch an average of 2 movies every week. Watching movies is one of the good ways of relaxation. A movie a week keeps me alive every week. I even watch some movies twice as they are really good.

What else? I enjoy hitting the club. It musn't be the alcohol that brings the fun though it's true that you could get to have a glimpse on most of the hottest chicks around. I love the music played by the deejays. It's great and really cool, especially when the deejay is playing with the disc on the digital audio mixer. The music is just awesome and with a dance hall, it's almost perfect. A great place to chill out with friends.

"Shop till you drop.", that's a girl's favourite phrase. Public perception would be that girls are the only ones that love shopping. But that's totally wrong. I love shopping and I could just shop whole day in the shopping complex. I love buying stuffs especially clothes. The only limiting factor would be the lack of cash. Must really work hard in the future to satisfy this love of mine, shopping. But wait, shopping with guys are great as we tend to go for the same thing, shopping with girls for clothes? It is really torturing and boring. No offence anyway! Just being honest here.

Lastly, being with my friends and making new friends would be something that I enjoy doing the most. Socialising would be the best term to be used. I have a lot of fun being with my friends and together we do crazy and stupid things. The memories and the friendship that we are having right now, times and times again I've said it, I treasure and savour them very much. It's sad when some disappoints you but cheer up, there are much more friends out there. Get friends that really appreciate you and the meaning of a true friendship. It's not those 'hi and bye' friends that we want in our lives.

In a nutshell, life's too short to be lived if you're living a stressful and meaningless life. Do something that you really enjoy doing it. Make your life a colourful and a meaningful one. We'll never know when we will have our last sight on the Earth.

So well, nothing really much to be said anymore. Just feel bored and take this blog of mine as a place for me to share a piece of my mind. Till then, maybe there will be less posts in the upcoming weeks, just maybe though and yea, see you peeps on my next post!

PS : Did I miss out on the part where I should write, "I love studying."?? LOL!

It Goes On

2010-01-17T00:36:00.006+08:00

從開始到現在我都錯了
我甚至不知道我錯了什麼
或者我從一開始都不想知道原來我都錯了.
最後
我以為我了解你…原來我都錯了.
我一點都不了解你….
這将成為一個痛苦的記憶.
永远会被我封在心里...
我对我自己
非常失望。
我想在这里说声对不起
但是一切将会成为过去.

PS : 看着天空，思念的泪水就不会掉下来。

My Press Conference

2010-01-12T17:00:00.005+08:00

Sorry for only blogging this out exactly a week after the press conference. Was busy with other assignments and presentations as well. Finally, I grasp a breath of fresh air after more than 10 weeks of stress and sleepless nights. Last night was perhaps the first night in my second sem that I slept soundly. The comfort and serenity that surrounded me when I was hugging my pillows, it's something that you cannot feel it often. Oops. For my other blog readers, this press conference is actually one of the presentations I had for the subject, Mass Comm.

Again, I would like to thank everyone who helped out and came to support my group's press conference. Sorry if I was not able to thank you all personally. But I do really appreciate each and everyone of you. Thank you very much.

It was not easy to make this a success. The number of late nights that we went through. The number of headaches that we endured. The number of time and energy that we poured in, neglecting our revision time. It was countless. But yet everything was worth it. Everyone played a part and everyone contributed.

Everytime I recalled back Miss Chuah comments for our group, it would always be joy and satisfaction that fill my heart. This press conference would definitely by far be my best presentation ever in UTAR. Although the number of audiences could never matched the number that I had for my computer studies presentation last semester, I still believe that this press conference would be the best experience I've ever had.

So yea, I would like to end this post with pictures that were taken throughout the whole process of this press conference. Enjoy!

Lessons Learnt

2010-01-07T01:01:00.003+08:00

It has been some time since I last read a good post from any blogs. Well, you can blame me that I do not read enough blogs but this little post from Chloe has been a very good one. It will be a moment of reflection for everyone who read it.

Lessons Learnt

As We Dance Into A New Year

2010-01-01T12:40:00.007+08:00

What can I say?

It's finally 2010.

Last night or I mean the countdown party was awesomely great.

But yet after all the dances and countdown celebration.

We still live in reality.

The dances won't take away all the troubles.

The loud music won't be able to sweep away all the pain.

The alcohol won't bring you any comfort.

All these things just put us on a hold and when everything ends, we will realised that it's just another day.

Once again, Happy New Year my friends! May this year be one of the best years in your life!

PS : It has never been fair. I know.

Gone is the year 2009

2009-12-31T18:09:00.000+08:00

With just a blink of an eye, the year 2010 is just hours away. I'll be turning 19 soon. Hate it or love it? I don't know.

This year 2009 has been such colourful year for me. Such a long roller coaster ride.

If I would be asked on what I've achieved this year, I would say that I've achieved nothing much.

I spent almost half of the year's time doing nothing. Didn't go to school and didn't work. But I still I have no regrets that I didn't choose to work while I was waiting for my SPM results. In everyone eyes, it might be a waste of time but I believe that I did make good use of the time.

SPM result was a disaster. The darkest hour of my life perhaps. Remembering back the moments. It sucks. It really sucks badly. Nobody but me myself to blame. It is now nothing but just a memory or a lesson that will leave a scar on me for the rest of my life.

And so I entered UTAR. As I reflect back, I still can't get an answer on why or how did I managed to come to UTAR. Things happened so fast. After SPM results, dreams and hopes turned into ashes. And somehow, I ended up in Kampar. Pressure was real great at that time and I had little time to think. Well, there's no turning point.

And now that I'm in Kampar. For almost more than half a year. A place that now can be considered as my second home. My time over here is also a time where I test the faith within me. I've fallen. Fallen so badly for countless number of times. It's true that you could only test your faith when you step into the outside world. A world where you meet all kinds of people. The weaklings fall and the stronger ones stand still. Harsh reality but it's a fact. I'm not a superhero afterall.

All the assignments, presentations, and exams. The countless number of sleepless nights. My life has been shortened so much because of all these. But thank God that I'm still standing firmly on the ground as I'm hoping to reach out for the stars.

Besides, I got to know a lot a lot of new friends this year. They are the ones that made my life goes on a high and also the ones that made my life miserable. Understanding and accepting people in our lives is not an easy task. It takes time and efforts. Patience and understanding is all that needed.

Giving your trust to someone is something that shouldn't be done easily. You can be so close with that person for a moment and the next moment, it would be as if you have never know each other before and can never see eye to eye. You avoid each other and walk on parallel line. People disappoint you and you disappoint people. Sometimes, I really wonder, what are friends meant to be. Just another passerby in our lives I guess?

Perhaps the best thing that happened to me this year would be the Indonesia missionary trip. I think that would be the only moment that I feel proud and happy to reflect on for this whole year. Savour every moment over there and it was a great experience. An eye opening sight in my life. Through this trip, I've learned a lot of things. Things that I still hold on with me till today.

In a nutshell, 2009 isn't really a happy and joyful year for me. In fact, it was a year filled with pain and sufferings. But afterall, it is this year that I got to learn a lot of life values. Things that you can never learn in the textbooks. I managed to see through a lot of things. The people and the things around us. Trading the joy for all these lessons, it's worth it. No doubt about this.

Anyway,

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 MY BLOG READERS!!!

Thank you for being with me through the ups and downs. Thank you for reading such a complicated and confusing blog of mine. Luahan dari pelusuk hatiku, terima kasih.

PS : Now that I see what that was once blinded.

Christmas

2009-12-25T23:10:00.001+08:00

My Family Annual Christmas Gathering

Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart

Somewhere deep inside you

It's where Christmas really starts...

Making A Difference

2009-12-25T22:20:00.003+08:00

A video made for my Sociology presentation.
Sit back and enjoy.

Hope you could make a difference in life. =)

A random picture during Christmas Countdown Celebration :

J & S

Introducing the best movie of this year :

Good storyline. Good concept. Good imagination. Good 3D effect.

It has been some time since I last had a great movie and this is the one. Can't wait for the two sequels.

PS : Worked my ass off from Monday till Thursday and then had a great Christmas countdown. Somehow, I need to put my festive and party mood on hold first. I still have 3 assignments to be handed in and 2 presentations on next week and then come back for New Year countdown. This is then followed by group's Press Conference presentation on the following Monday after new year. So seems like I'll end this year working tirelessly. Same theory applies, I love and I hate it. A colourful life indeed. =)

Tired

2009-12-21T00:33:00.002+08:00

Simply trusting everyday,
Trusting through a stormy day,
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting God that is all,
Trusting as the moments fly,
Trusting as the days go by,
Trusting Him whatever befall,
Trusting God that is all.

This coming 3 weeks. It's not just about the Christmas and New Year celebration. This 3 weeks will be the deciding point of my final sem results. I have countless numbers of assignments to be handed in and presentations as well. It will be a very tough and rough road ahead of me. Hope that I'm strong enough to go through all the sleepless nights. I could barely imagine what will happen if anything goes wrong. I'll be completely GG-ed. God bless me.

PS : Just why. I'm tired.

Escaping Reality

2009-12-18T17:15:00.004+08:00

For the first time in my life, I hate December. It's supposed to be Christmas. A month of joy and celebration. But this year's one is different. I'm running out of time. Assignments deadlines and presentations are all coming at once. Little by little, I'm dying. My brain is dying. Pity my brain for multi-tasking. Even if I'm lying on the bed also I have to worry about my assignments and presentations. Eating, bathing and even shyt-ing also I need to think of them. I want victory and not losing out to other groups. I strive for perfectionist though it's just an illusion to have everything perfect, satisfaction will do. But all these are killing me. I don't even have time to rest. It has been a dreadful and miserable month. 3 more weeks of sufferings.

These coming weeks should be a time where I could celebrate Christmas and New Year happily. A time to reunite with friends and hit the club. A time of spending time with my family members. But I do not have the time to do so. I need to think more than twice everynight before I hit the sack. I can't slack nor slow down. Every minute counts. My stupid laptop is still being repaired. After one week, they are still repairing it even if it's just a minor problem. This would only makes things even harder for me. My laptop's my wife. I can't live without her.

I'm going nuts. It's week 10. Week 13 come fast. I'll have some breather. I prefer to stay at home and study for final exam rather squeezing my brain juices to think of everything. Brainstorming is cool but it's a pain for your brain. My brain could hardly concentrate on anything. Too much of multi-tasking. I love it but I also hate it at the same time. Could hardly catch what's on my my mind lately.

I wanna watch movies. So many good movies coming out. I wish I could spend everyday in Jusco watching movies and walking around just like last time when I finished my SPM. I love movies. Watching movies is one of my ways of relaxation.

I wanna go for a holiday too. A beach where I can lie down on the white and fine sands, listening to the sound of the wave that hit the seashore, and see the sun that sets in the evening and the sun that rises early in the morning. How wonderful would that life be. Or perhaps walking down the streets in the middle of the night in Genting. Having a touch of the cool, fresh, and crispy air would just makes me feel blissful.

On the otheR hand, I think I'll be getting a new handphone for CNY. My current N73 is driving me crazy. Even my Nokia6610i which I have been using since Form2 is still functioning better than the N73. So there it goes, I'm planning to get myself neither an iPhone or the N86. I would love to hear more opinions from you guys. It's a really hard decision to make. Even harder than choosing a girl to be your girlfriend. Unlike a girlfriend, this one requires a huge amount of money, you use it everyday, and you can't even change it anytime, it's a long term investment. You can't get wrong with your decision. LOL! No offence to the ladies reading my blog. I'm just jesting!

And I'll be cashing out my earnings from Nuffnang as well, to support my financial budget for the new handphone. Money that I've earned by doing nothing but just doing something I enjoy, which is blogging. This amount of money is the amount that I've earned since June. So guys, do continue clicking on those advertisements on my blog. Visit my blog frequently. Every click of yours will help me to earn some penny. Your kindness would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Well, that's all for my rambling for today. Till then, we shall meet again in the next post.

PS : Human related problems are even harder to be solved compared to those questions being asked in the examinations. Bring on the challenge. My life's a colourful one.

慢舞 Slow Dance

2009-12-14T22:40:00.005+08:00

慢舞

你是否曾經看過孩子

玩旋轉木馬?

或傾聽大雨?

打落在地上的聲音?

曾經追著飄乎不定地飛著的蝴蝶?

或凝視著太陽在夜色中漸漸褪色?

你最好慢下你的腳步

不要舞的太快

時間短暫

音樂不會永不停止

你是否用飛的

度過每一天?

當你問自己”你好嗎”?

你有聽到回答嗎?

當一天結束的時候，

你是否躺在床上

仍是滿腦袋思考著

上百件例行工作事項?

妳最好慢下來

不要舞的這樣快

時間短暫

音樂不會永不停止

是否曾經告訴你的孩子

我們留到明天再做?

而在你的匆忙之中

沒看到他的悲傷?

是否曾因沒有聯繫,

而失去很好的友誼?

就因為你總是沒有時間

撥個電話說聲”嗨”

你最好慢下腳步

不要舞得太快

時間短暫

音樂不會永不停止

當你急著快點到達某處的時候

你也錯過了途中一半的樂趣

當你憂心並急著度過你的日子

像是一件未開的禮物

就這樣被丟棄 .

生命不是在比賽

確實的慢下來

聽聽音樂

在音樂結束之前。

Tranlasted into English :

Slow Dance

Have you ever watch kids

On a merry-go-round?

Or listened to the rain

Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.

Don't dance so fast

Time is short.

The music won't last.

Do you run through each day

On the fly?

When you ask "How are you?"
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done

Do you lie on your bed

With the next hundred chores

Running through
your head?

You'd better slow down

Don't dance so fast

Time is short.

The music won't last

Ever told your child,

We'll do it tomorrow?

And in your haste,

Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch

Let a good friendship died?

Cause you never had time

To call and say,'Hi'

You'd better slow down.

Don't dance so fast.

Time is short.

The music won't .last

When you run so fast to get somewhere

You miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,

It is like an unopened gift

Thrown away

Life is not a race

Do take it slower

Hear the music

Before the song is over.

PS : Got this from a forwarded email. Found it interesting and so I post it down here. Enjoy! =)

It's Like A Game of DOTA

2009-12-13T22:00:00.001+08:00

What can I say? If there's anything to describe the situation right now then I would say that it's just like a game of DOTA.

Let's begin.

It's an AP game. 5 on 5.

As usual, I'll choose my favourite hero, DK ( Dragon Knight ) and you chose Rikimaru.

Game on.

We bought our items and started farming. In this game, I was quick enough to have drawn first blood. All eyes were on me. Everyone thought that I would own and rule this game. So am I. Confidence was there in me. Overconfident in fact. After the first blood, I relaxed a bit and continue farming out my items.

The game reached the point where most of the heroes are around Level 6.

The level where everyone got their 'Ulti' ready to be used. As usual, I didn't go out for hunting but just farming. After a few more of levels up, you came. You came and pawned me continuously. It was a surprise. I never knew that you would pose a threat to me. And I didn't even notice your existence. Finally, I knew that you're always there farming in the forest and you're Rikimaru, you can go around being invisible.

Just like Rikimaru, you got a skill called "Backstab" and it's really powerful. You can come around me being invisible while I'm farming. When I'm at low HP, you would just reveal yourself and backstab me. You managed to pawn me a few times and a few times, I managed to stun you and run away.

But still, you're far greater than me. Because I'm farming out there, you could see all my items and the skills that I had 'up'. And I'm dumb enough not to type '-ma' to check your level status nor I click on other lanes to check your existence. Thus, my identity is very much visible comparing to you. If having the skills of being invisible and backstabbing isn't enough for you, you even bought the Helm of Denominator. You control the creeps in the forest and put them back there as spies. Everytime when I go into the forest to farm, you'll know it and you'll be running after me to pawn me. What else? You have got a good teammate too. An innocent one in fact. The hero Beastmaster is your friend. You make good use of your teammate. You ask the Beastmaster to send its eagle to spy on the whole map. Beastmaster helped thinking that it's part of the strategy game play. Well, you just actually wanted to spy on me.

I'm losing. In fact, I'm losing very badly. But no matter what, I'm not going to give up and let you win. You're selfish. You misused your teammates. You never care about them. Your ultimate goal is to defeat me. It's against the ethics of the game. You're going solo. DOTA is not a game mend for 1 on 1. It's 5 on 5.

The game reached the point where everyone is around the level of 15.

You now have great control of the game. You have good items. I may not win if I confront you 1 on 1 right now. But rest assured, your power won't last long. Remember, your ultimate purpose is to defeat me but mine is to win the game. After a long time having my eyes being covered by the mist and now that I see the truth, I know your strengths and your weaknesses. I know what you want. I'm watching every single step of yours. So what if you can be invisible and backstab? I've put wards all around the maps and my team got a few Gem of True sight.

My items may not be great. So right now, like you. I learned it from you. I'm now farming in the forest and farm the creeps that come near my areas. I won't simply go out to push and let you pawn me. I'll give that task to my teammates first.

Wait. Wait for me. I'll hit back much harder and stronger than you thought. I won't take any step backwards. I'll never let you achieve your goal. DK is known for its high HP and high armor. I'm a late gamer. Wait for my level 3 ulti and my items to be out. You'll see the truth then. It would be an act of a fool to give up.

We could actually be good friends although you're in my opposition team. Afterall, it's just a game. But again, I've said. You went against the rules and ethics. You played for the wrong purpose. You're not a team man. You go solo. You go against me. You can sacrifice anyone just to defeat me and win what you want. You stalked on me. You backstabbed me. You betrayed me.

I won't let this to continue. I'm very sure of this. You have very much underestimated me. At one moment, I thought that I've lost. But now I could still see hope and I'll never let that glimpse of hope to be faded right in front of my eyes. Never will I.

It's a psychological game. Hate not the players. Hate the game.

PS : This week had been a really tough and hard one for me. So tough that I could break down and give up anytime. It's so hard to fake out a smile and face the day. Thanks to Choi, Loh, Yuk Jing, Niz and Zjin. You guys helped me to stay still and continue moving on. Loh, it's true. You said that among our group of friends, my life has always been a colourful one. I agree with you. So colourful that I wondered if I should love it or hate it. But nevertheless, this is what I'm destined for. I'll take them on. Anyway, thanks for all your support my friends. The encouragements, scoldings, and advices. Appreciate them very much. I know I'll never walk alone.

PPS : Oops. Forgot that this post is specially made for You. Hope that your English and understanding of the game Dota would be good enough to fathom what I've written over here. Thank you.

Let's see how the game ends.

If I'm given a chance, I wish I'm not in this game. But now I'm in and I can't quit. Quitter never win. Winner never quit. It will be a toss of a coin bet. I'll give my all.

Sometimes

2009-12-12T00:06:00.001+08:00

Sometimes, you know you can,
Sometimes, you know you will,
Sometimes, you know you are,
Sometimes, you know you must,

But, actually

Sometimes, you know you can't,
Sometimes, you know you wouldn't
Sometimes, you know you aren't
Sometimes, you know you mustn't

But, actually

You know that its just sometimes, not all the times.
It is just ain't that simple.
It's complicated.

PS : Taken and edited it from Ian's blog. Nice one indeed.

Just Why

2009-12-08T11:50:00.003+08:00

A day to remind myself that once again, I'm always the loser and I'll never win. Never will I.
Enough said.

Wake Me Up When December Ends

2009-12-06T04:30:00.001+08:00

This sem subjects supposed to be easier.

But now how come I feel that everything seems to be so much tougher than the previous sem?
Perhaps it's because that I've become lazier.
But nevertheless, hopefully that I'll be able to finish this race strongly.
Ain't gonna give up no matter what.

So now this sem has reached its peak.
Exams, assignments deadline, and presentations are all coming to greet me.
No time to reflect nor there's any time to regret.

Time and tide wait for no man.
Every minute, every second counts.

Christmas is just around the corner.
New year is coming pretty soon.
May this year ends with joyfulness and delight for me.

PS : We can plan for the future but we'll never know what tomorrow holds for us.

If there's any facial expression that can be used to describe me right now, then it would be this picture :

I wonder what's next.

Someone

2009-12-03T06:05:00.006+08:00

Someone says that....

It will take a very harsh and tough lesson for a man to learn
The more you praise yourself, the more weaknesses you have within yourself
The more you speak, the more mistakes you'll make
You have to be selfish to achieve your goals
The more you express yourself, the more people will judge you
Do not fall for the wrong one or you'll end up hurting yourself
Absent makes the heart grows fonder but yet a little moment together makes life worthwhile
Beauty comes from the inside out
There's this sentence ' I M Possible ' in the word Impossible
People changes their mind and attitude like how the weather changes everyday
Some people just make the most out of you for themselves
A pen will lost its value when it is left with no ink
Never make any promises to anyone if you can never fulfill it
The grass is always greener on the other side
Wishes only come true in fairy tales or dreams
Put a smile on your face when facing people no matter how hard it could be
Life has never been fair to anyone
If you want to go fast, go alone
If you want to go far, go together
Lastly, the things you write will determine how people look at you

Somehow, night is always better than day

Shortest Post Ever

I'm sorry I can't be Perfect.
I'm not Okay.

It Ain't That Simple

2009-11-26T02:35:00.004+08:00

Which would you choose?

Overconfidence or self-underestimation?
Being selfish or keeping sorrow within but bringing joy to others?
Follow your brain or your heart?
Stand on your principles or explain to gain compassion?
Live a walking life or dreaming life?
Give your all, expecting nothing in return or hold back saving yourself some pride?
Knowing that you're heading to a dead end but still go on, hoping that there would be a change or take a U-turn and start off with a new journey?
Do you betray your ownself or do you choose to let others to betray you?
Be the loser or the winner?
Be yourself or be a reflected image?

Hearts are often broken with words left unspoken... True but yet there is another line that could complete the sentence. " ... but some words are better kept buried in the heart cause words should just mend to be words, nothing else but just words consisting of joint alphabets being visible only to the eyes... "

This is heartrending.

SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR IT

A dream inspired by :

Yesterday Today and Tomorrow

2009-11-14T23:05:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow may never come and you'll never know.

Out of the blue, I reminisce back the old days and these posts, "What Are Friends Meant To Be" and "New Friends Found"

I knew that this day would come sooner or rather later. We're now all heading to different pathways. So am I. We do keep in touch but things are not like the yesterdays anymore, where we can meet and joke with each other everyday. But I believe in fate. Fated that we'll be back to the same point one day in our lives.

" Our friendship is like a plant of flower. It started off with a seed. Then, comes the roots. From there onwards, the seed grows and turns into a plant with leaves and flowers. My fellow friends, when all of us grew up next time and in pursuit of our own dreams, like how the plant wanted to grow from a seed to have flowers. But let us not forget that we all came from the same seed. The seed that set us off in our lives and the same seed that got us together. We might get to know new friends in our walk of life later on but nevertheless, hopefully the moments, the times, and the friendship that we had together. It will be treasured and not to be forgotten. Just as long as men could breath and the eyes could see, the stories of ours shall stay on us forever... "

PS : My first birthday dedication on my blog. Not to a girl but to a guy. Happy Blessed Birthday Amir Safwan @ Sam Chan Kien Lok!!! Wishing you all the way from Malaysia to Egypt! It's your big day today. You're finally 18. You're finally legal in Malaysia but in Egypt I'm not sure. XD It's sad that we can't celebrate together.=( Anyway, all the best to you! You're one of the bestest friend that I've ever had. And damn you! Don't you ever forget me. Don't even dare to lan c me when you've become a doctor. Don't ever forget all the chinese words that I've taught u. Don't ever lose your identity as a half malay and a half chinese. Don't get a gf with the whole face and body covered with black scarf! Anyway, take care bro. Hopefully the next time when I see you, it gonna be a good good day. And hope you're free to read this post of mine. Take care and God bless. =)

A Girl's Heart Is As Deep As The Ocean

Close

2009-11-08T00:26:00.002+08:00

Across the miles
it's funny to me
how far you are but how
near you seem to be
I could talk all night
just to hear you breathe
I could spend my life
just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

With all the loves
I used to know
I kept my distance I never let go
But in your arms I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way
Ohhh You're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say - yeah

And when, when I'm in your arms,
I need you to know I've never been
I've never been this close

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been
Oh no I swear
I've never been
I've never been this close

I never know this

2009-10-28T00:32:00.001+08:00

My first mass comm class.

The many first impressions that my new groupmates had on me.

Undescribable. >.<"

It's so not me. But weird enough, I like it somehow. =)

Moments To Reflect On

2009-10-26T03:30:00.004+08:00

I think I've made a wrong decision, did I?
I think I'm heading to the wrong pathway, am I?
I think I need to make a move, should I?
I think I need to go for a change, could I?

Sometimes what you want is never always what you get. The moment when you turnaround, it's already gone. There's no turning back. That moment last forever and leave you with nothing but just weep and sorrow.

Afterall, I'm always the loser. In everyone's eyes, I might always be a winner but I know it better than everyone else does, I lost. I never win.

A man without a dream is just like an eagle without its wings. How true is it and till what depth that the meaning of these words are to be proven right. It's inexplicable. A dream will never come true till efforts are poured in. The road to the theatre of dreams, it is a bumpy road filled with mud holes and paddles of water, it will never be a walk in the park. Perhaps once in the blue moon, but with the burning desire, passion, and confidence, impossible is nothing and dreams do come true.

And so I wish and continue to dream.

Thus, this shall be the last throw of dice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the best things about blogging would be that it is something like a diary where you write down your stories, experience, and feelings.

Everytime when I'm feeling blue, I'll always browse back my older posts. Those posts are the ones that cheer me up and inspire me. Sometimes when I look back at what was written, I could never believe that I am the one who wrote all those.

I couldn't believe that I wrote all those things out. Some are real good that I thought, " Oh well, that's me? isn't it? is it?". The poems and the phrases, they are such a beauty to me.

What else? Most noticeable would be my English, as time passes, my ability to write in English is really starting to rust. My vocab is getting very limited and my grammar sucks big time. I do not read the newspaper as often as I do last time. I never spend time flipping through the pages of dictionary or any story books nor any articles in the magazines. Before it's too late, I seriously need to turn things around.

Anyway, I was reading some of my older posts just now and here are some of the things that I've written throughout my time as a blogger that I would love to share them with you people :

Some of my favourite quotes :

" Sometimes in life, things may not go your way and perhaps no matter how hard you try, you may not achieve the outcome. Nonetheless, the most important thing in life is that you at the very least tried your very best, and even if you do not reach the ultimately, deep inside, you realise that you have never given up. In life there are ups and downs, but the most important things is being able to step up again and live on with your life. Yes, there are plenty of downs in your life, but after all if you give up, it means that you will never have a chance. If you try your best, you got the chance of a toss of a coin and moving on without regrets. There are always miracles in our life.

Giving up will never be an option... "

" You can never say never in your life. Cause as time passes, the way you think would be different and the goals you set might change. Not because that your belief, confidence, and mindset are not strong enough. It's because that there are a lot of other things that will come into play. Things that force you to change your thoughts and goals. After all, you are not living a life all on your own. You may not want to but times and times again, we are left with no choices. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and you can only choose a pathway. Once a road is chosen, hardly there will be turning back, you need to be strong, courageous, end the road with glory and be proud of the road that you have chosen.

I have set my eyes straight on my goals. My vision is far beyond the horizontal. My dream is higher than the mountains and deeper than the oceans. "

Do you know what are the saddest words in life?

If and Only If.

Life will never always be a smooth sailling process, there will be times when there's storm and thunder that will try to bring you down but after enduring all the tough times, there will always be sunshine and rainbow that light up our days.

Decisions are hard but I believe that I'll make it through.

PS : I wish and I hope that I'm a man on my words.

The Rose

2009-10-20T23:30:00.000+08:00

The Rose by Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring, becomes the rose

The Art of Kissing

2009-10-20T15:30:00.002+08:00

Sem 1 : Mun Yee's kissing

Sem 2 : My kissing

In a nutshell, that was pain. Enough said.

Welcome New Sem

2009-10-20T15:05:00.005+08:00

Finally started my new semester yesterday.

And I'm back in Kampar.

Had my first lecture of my new sem, class supposedly to start at 12noon. Waited for half an hour and we couldn't even see a shadow of the lecturer. More than half of the people left the lecture hall. Waited for another 15 minutes and I left too. Went back home and I received an sms saying that the lecturer actually came late and so I missed my first lecture. What a way to start my new semester. Then went to CC last night with Loh and Chee Kit and takei till this morning

Anyway, I love and hate to be back in Kampar. Assignments are flooding in once again and I could feel the tense and pressure in the air already. Mamak sessions has begun. Meeting up my fellow friends and enjoying every moment of fellowship over here. Life's really busy over here.

I predict that this sem would be very much tougher than my 1st sem. Everything would be different. It's totally a different ball game. New coursemates and new groupmates. I'm pretty excited to know who they are.

My subjects for this new sem :
Marketing
Management Studies
Web Page Design
Sociology
Writing for Business
Writing for Mass Communication

The decisions that I've made and the path that I've chosen will all be justified rather sooner or later.

Oh yea, let the games begin...

Carson's 18th Birthday

Colours

2009-10-16T21:18:00.002+08:00

Not the weather nor the sky this time, it's the colour.

Night falls,
Sun rises,
Eyes open,
World is seen,
Pictures and images painted with colours,
Words too weak to explain,
Life is indeed colourful.

Mixes of colours makes life beautiful to ponder upon,
A majestic sky to gaze upon,
And shimmering stars to wish upon.

Different types of colours,
Each special and unique in its own way,
Mixing around would produce another colour,
Every colour made,
Is another colour found,
Bright or dull?
Doesn't matter.

Every mixes of colours has its own story,
Its own meaning,
Its own purpose,
Its own life,
Its own image.

Black is the colour,
A colour that is seen as dull and dark,
Doesn't matter day or night,
As every colour gets to mix around,
Black stands out and stands alone,
It will always be black.

Not hoping too much,
Not trying too hard,
Not dreaming too far,
Not going too deep to understand either,
For mixes of the colour black,
There wont be any effects.

Hard to change,
Hard to accept,
Hard to deny,
Hard to believe.

Holding back,
Hardening heart,
Dream not,
Wish not,
And hope not.

First step is always the hardest,
First words are always the toughest,
First act is always the longest.

For that moment,
Go on,
And leave no stones unturned.

For the moment,
Once gone,
Forever gone.

For this moment,
Wait here,
And hold on.

But then. Life's worth a try.

For every moment,
For every chance,
There's a glimpse of hope.

PS : Oh yea, please. Please don't try to understand. Just another random post with random words from me on a random night.

~Learn to cherish every person in your life, perhaps it will be a beautiful memory~

Judge Not

2009-10-10T20:30:00.004+08:00

I love and I hate blogging.
I love and I hate Facebook.

Simple facts.

Why there's Facebook? Why you use Facebook? Well, we want to connect with our friends from all over the places, interact with them, share photos, and update each other. What else? Maybe applications like Restaurant City, Pet Society, Mafia Wars, or even Fortune Teller would be the reasons why you love to use Facebook.

Why there's blog? Why blog? Alright, the answers are just the same with the answers given for Facebook except for the applications. In fact, people could even know you better or get closer to you just by your blog. You blog your feelings out, you express your ideas and opinions, and of course you tell people more about the life that you're living.

But seriously, is that all?

No. We forgot one very important thing. We judge. Through Facebook, we judge. We judge people by the statuses that they update, the pictures that they upload, the friends that they mix with, and perhaps the amount of time they spend on Facebook everyday. Through blog, when someone express his or her own ideas, when you do not agree with it, you judge. You judge when you believe that you're right and the blogger is wrong. You judge when you have perspective conflict. You judge the blogger's personality. Just by Facebook or blog alone, you judge that person.

Well, I wouldn't say that I'm not one of them that doesn't judge. I have been judging people too. But in recent times, I have been holding myself back from judging people. Instead of reading people's blog to judge what kind of person he or she is, the posts that are posted should be something that we all can use it as a tool to understand that person better and deeper. Besides, why not getting closer and knowing that person personally before making any opinions or statements.

I started when I was in Form 4. Unlike now, blogging is not really that hyped up yet back then. I got into blogging through Eunice. She's the one that got me into blogging and since then, I have been enjoying blogging very much. I blog to update my friends and blog to express things or feelings that sometimes I got no one to share with. Sometimes, I also do drama or movie review when I'm free. And of course I blog to earn some pocket money. Oh yea, the word greed must have cross your mind right now

RPK blog about politics and got himself into trouble with the government.
Chedet blog to get his voice heard.
Celebrities blog to get themselves into spotlight.
I blog and I got blamed.

What a wonderful world.

I'm thinking whether should I post this or not. I'm thinking whether should I delete my blog or not. I'm thinking if I should stop Facebook-ing so much.

After all, everything is just a few clicks away.

Judge you may but keep it within yourself. Confront or talk to me you may but not rumours flying in the air.

PS : Just my few cents worth of controversy opinions. And wait, my tone of writing might sounds as if I wrote with anger and hatred. But no, I just write whatever that crosses my mind. =)
