Life is short....

Have u ever wondered that when u are experiencing shit, it seems to take forever yet when u are having fun time seem to fly by in a blink of an eye(hey that rhymed!).
.
.
We never know when we will be called home to the Lord. It can strike anytime anywhere anyhow. A lot of us want to know how long we will live up to. If given the chance, would u ask God "When will I die?" or "How long will I live up to?" Do I live long enough to see the nxt Haley's comet or will I ever get to see how my great grandchildren will look like? I dunno man, but if I was given the chance to ask God when I will live up to, I wouldn't ask that question. I mean, what happen when u noe the day u will decease. Like if its tmr, u'll probably screw the homework and enjoy life as much as u can, if its in 10 yrs, u still would make full use of this 10 yrs. If its in 60 yrs, will u put a lifetime countdown on ur wall and cross out every yr that signifies 1 yr closer to the day I die. Knowing when u will die can really be scary. Imagine u having the most fun in ur life, maybe being together with a loved one, or at a theme park. Its the best time u ever had and u really dont want it to end. Now I'm telling u, I'm gonna take it away in 5 minutes. What would u feel? Will u be able to enjoy the remaining 5 mins knowing its gonna end, will u shout out NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont let it end? Thats the perception I get if I know when I'm gonna die.
.
But then again not knowing the fatal date is quite saddening. Other than asking when I will die, we all want to know when a friend, family, loved one, relatives will pass away. Cos when we dont know that significant date it can strike us so fast that we cant believe that someone has just died. Imagine having someone taken away from u out of a sudden. The pain and remorse we feel having losing a companion is unbearable. But whats even worst is if we know when they would die. If I was to tell u the date of death of ur best fren, how would u feel. Go enjoy it with him/her last few moments? Let him be with his/her family till the very end? Counting down to the day he/she leaves the world and expecting death around the corner, isit more painful then having that person taking away out of a sudden? Job had everything he could want, but Satan took everything including his 3 sons in a flash. Despite saying the Lord gives and the Lord takes, was he really sad and remorseful of losing his sons just like that. Compare that to when God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac. Although it didn't happen, how did Abraham feel just before the slaying? It was like knowing when your loved one is going to die. .

Adrian Hoh was Ferrier Hodgson's director. He had strong philosophies on his own.
1) They should allow accountants to get a receivers license without having that 3 yrs audit experience.
2) Never wants to get married despite having a girlfriend.
3) Buy health insurance and not life insurance.
I used to laugh at these funny opinions cos they were one of a kind and he is one of a kind. He send me home once after a meeting in is dark blue proton wira constantly talking throughout the trip home. His reluctance to go in audit fields had him working in insolvency for 10 years now. And proud to say him being a chinese but never good at speaking makes him a banana just like me. Despite only knowing him less than 2 months, he is rather funny and I can still recall the day I left the company with him wishing me well, shaking my hand, and asking me to return to the company to work there one day. I even remember the time he scolded the waiter and manager for our food being an hour late. He bombarded them continuously and he didn't even give them a chance to talk back! He said thats they way to fire a person, before they can answer, throw them the nxt insult! Lol...
Adrian wasnt feeling well the pass 2 weeks, or so I was told. This morning, he passed away, I believe its of heart failure, which my ex-colleagues told me was heart atk. Is there a difference heart failure or heart atk? Nevertheless someone I knew was taken away by the Lord. Considering I barely knew him long, I still felt depressed, I cant imagine if someone close is taken away. And then another question pops into my head. Was it another christian that passed or was it another non-christian?
.
I've open up a new label on my posts under 'dedication'. I felt it was appropriate to honour ppl who leave this world that have left a mark in me. Or at least significant enough for me to consider a friend. Rest in peace Adrian...*update - i forgot to mention he was only 38, so dont take young age for granted!
.
.
p.s. to my Christian friends, treasure life cos its short compare to the eternity we spend with God, don't fall in love with worldly things and what God has taken away, there is a reason.
to my non Christian friends, sry about the biblical content, but its juz my rantings..hehe..if u are reading this blog, then u must know me rather well and I appreciate your friendship...pls pls pls take care of ur health!! Not feeling well, go see a doctor!!!

Of new housemate and lecturer...

Right, so in life we tend to meet many people. And mostly everybody imparts something to you and it becomes a memory for you to take home. I've had many things on during this past few weeks and most of them had interactions with old nad new people.
.
.
1st, yes my housemate decided that he is loaded with cash and bought a house for himself(and his sis for the time being) to live in. As my Caufield home is the 1st place I've stayed in other than my house, Paul and Renald are my first housemates. Living with housemates can really be a whole new experience, especially if they tend to be in the same age group as you. Having to work on the house, cook(the once in 100 blue moons that I actually cook), trying not to make noise in the middle of the night as well as hanging out together are all experiences in life. But since Paul has moved out, I had to rough it out to support myself for 2 months without one less housemate. By roughing out I mean the sudden increase in rent and bills and internet etc. But I've got a new housemate now, his name is Robert Saunders. Technically there are some similarities between Rob and Paul. They are the same age group(hehe), working ppl, disciplined, never on any computer games and well-mannered. They have differences too, Rob sleeps early, isnt on the internet while Paul can be seen online at 1am..lol..So Rob is my 1st angmoh housemate, not that I'm racist but we do differ in culture. But Rob being Rob, he's polite, has his vast experience on India and he usually sleeps when I get home on weekends and leave before I get up. Saturday was soccer day. Rob is in charge of soccer so he also takes the initiative to wake me up for soccer. Everyone in soccer knows I'm the guy who always turns out an hour late for soccer, it was about to change now that Rob is here. Soccer started at 9am, highlight about Rob, he woke me up at 7.20am...
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
.

Ok moving on, I juz had a lecture on Introductory Personal Finance. This subject is really different as they change lecturers very frequently. One person does the finance, a different lecturer does tax and now another new lady lecturer teaches risks. Lecture was from 2.15 to 4.15. I went in at 2.15, and came out at 2.45! Lol...if you ever want to experience the worst lecturer in your life, head on over to Melbourne University and make sure u take the subject called Intro Personal Finance. Wanna know why? An average 60 slide lecturer is to be completed in 2 hours. That includes explanation and examples. Now wat happens if you complete 15 slides in 15 minutes? Wat are u suppose to do for the extra hour free? If she took at least 3 minutes for a certain slide, then there were some slides that was done in lets say 3 seconds? lol. Quote: err about this, nah u dun have to worry about it! #$%^&*%$ wat kinda dumbass lecturer says that??? Worst of all, even I can lecture the subject if I do it like her. How? Simple la, juz take the notes read it aloud to the class and move on...er hello....we didnt go to lecture to teach us how to read??? Lol..if I wanted to read the notes I wouldnt even have walked all the way to the medical building juz to attend the stupid lecture...argh...the university fees are a rip off.I demand a refund!!! Is there a complain department??? Gosh..I still cant believe she wasn't assesed before given permission to teach. Right about 10 mins after the lecture started people already started walking out. By the time I walked out, half the ppl had adi left. I kinda pity the lecturer with ppl walking out right in front of her...haha, but I myself walked out as it was a waste of time and I rather spend that time blogging about it...yea, thats wat I'm doing now..
.
.
There u have it, ppl imparting memories into u. A person who lived with me in the past leaving memories of housemate bonding, a new housemate currently, who will leave memories to me and of course a shitty lecturer whom I will remember for all the wrong reasons..

Randomness....

Its almost 4 and I still cant sleep. I've got so much thinking going on in my head so physically tired body but mentally alert deters me from sleeping. Wat am I feeling now, dunno, a few mixed emotions. Worried for assignments due nxt week, anxious for 1st badminton training session on Sunday, confident from the psychotic drilled thoughts of how I am going to perform on Sunday, happy for Manchester beating Roma recently and pissed at a problem. There's soccer tmr so I SHOULD get some rest!!
.
.
Sometimes I wonder, do I potray myself all the time? Or am I faking a potrayal most of the time and sometimes the real me takes over for a period of time. Do I please men, or wait for men to please me (lets leave God out of this context)? Am I a considerate person who sometimes act unconsiderately? Or am I an unconsiderate person who acts considerate most of the time? Most often I try not to, but I realise I do end up being more polite than my usual self to strangers, in particular to females. Or being with some of my close frens so much I let my guard down and begin to act like I take everything for granted. That being said ppl see the different side of me or is that the 'true' me. When something I desire come along, do I take my opportunities to grab wat I want at the extent of being a selfish jerk?
.
.
What type of character do I have? What is the real me and fake me? Is there anybody alive today that dont lead a double life? Can u keep ur behaviour in check all the time regardless of who u face, whether its ur fren, family, strangers, rivals or enemies? How much do u noe about urself? Do ppl misunderstand ur motives most of the time?.
.

One thing I do know about myself....Jesus loves me!!
