Matthew 7:12

Matthew 7:12 (New International Version, ©2011)

¹² So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

Sometimes we ought to help a friend in need cos if we were in that position, we would want them to help us as well. Likewise, we would not do something to a friend which we wouldn't want them doing to us.

The tongue is mightier than the sword, hence the words we say to others, we must be sure, we won't want to be said to us. I'm actually not hurt by words that people say to me that are degrading or insulting or just plain taking a 'dig' at me, but if they didn't want the exact same words thrown back at them, they should think twice before saying such things. So much for practising what you preach.

Sick...

2011-02-19T15:10:00.003+11:00

If there's one thing that will happen repetitively throughout our lives, it will be that we WILL get sick. If its not today, somewhere within the nxt year, we're bound to fall ill. Our bodies are not perfect therefore, there will bound to be some problem when some bacteria infects us.
.
.
Funny thing is, there is always advice of what to do to get better. But I dunno about others, but I never follow it. Then I'll be left in a horrible state feeling like shit and yet feel too lazy to move.
.
.
I'm writing down a checklist to follow next time I fall sick:
.
.
1. Drink plenty of water. Most of the time when I'm ill, water tastes so bad...I cant understand why, water has a bad aftertaste. And this only happens when I'm sick! I end up drinking less cos I cant bring myself to drink water.
2. Force yourself to eat. Dire consequences will arise if I don't eat. Most of the time I'm so sick I just don wanna get out of bed to go eat. I thought of eating dinner at 8pm...ended up eating half a burger at 12.30. So eat even if you feel like puking..just eat.
3. Why just eat? Most of the time when I don't eat, acid build up in my stomach. Then I feel like puking, then I can't lay down, then I feel my stomach burning.
4. Then when u take a dump in the toilet, what basically comes out is Acid. Doesnt feel too good either.
5. Lots of Acid builds to lots of gas. I've released gas more times today then in the past month!
6. Dont refrain from taking panadol early. Any discomfort either by muscle ache, headache or fever, JUST TAKE THE PANADOL! I have no idea why it took me 18 hrs after I've fallen sick to take my first panadol pill. After half an hr, I could lie on the bed pain-free...and could sleep continuosly for at least 4 hours..that's until the panadol effect wears off...
.
.
not hungry, cos I forced myself to down some food, till I feel like puking!...

When I came back to Malaysia 6 months ago, I had a busy schedule. Everyone wanted to meet up with me cause we should catch up. Even my parents had to ask me for free time a week in advance.
.
.
Today is the 2nd weekend night in a row that I'm about to have dinner alone. I do not know if people are really that busy with Chinese New Year, or that 6 months ago they've seen me hence there is really no need to meet up with Jonathan Chua since he comes back ever so often. Friends that I considered close to me have either met me just once, or not at all. I think I have been ffk-ed at least 5 times these past 2 weeks.
.
.
Contemplating not returning to Malaysia for a while. Other than a rare few and my parents, nobody seems happy that I'm back. I make the effort in planning outings while others just seem to have the attitude of, if he asks then we go out, otherwise then let it be la..
.

hungry, but gonna sulk in silence...I've never felt so emo returning to my home country...

Manhood

2011-01-12T23:34:00.004+11:00

You know I finally discovered something today. I finally realise the reason behind the age old symptom of why men want to get married as late as possible while women want to get married as early as possible. Before I go on, I understand that some people may or may not agree about what I'm about to write, some will feel general concern while some will just go "ha? now only u realise ar?" But I really want to just express myself. Anyone who condemns me for this, I shall not respond.
.
.
Have u ever seen a t shirt with a picture that says 'game over' with the groom sad while the bride is smiling? If u havent, here it is:

I've seen men at 33 still refusing to get married while some at 26 are married already? Is it just preference?
.
.
The 'subject' of men will be me. I love freedom. Thats it, through and through. I love the thought of having to not eat at normal times. I love to eat whatever I want wherever I want and I love to eat only when I'm hungry, even if it is 3am. That's just my nature. I love to go out and do whatever I want. Of course I'm saying all these within the confinements of God's law, that I do not want to break. You see before marriage, I can always say 'I'. I this and I that. But when it comes to being married, it is never I. A man has to change his thinking to 'we'. Men responsible enough to take a vow before God must put his family first. Plan for the family, benefit the family, and do everything with priority for the family. That feeling of being bogged down, that I am accountable to someone else, just feels very limiting. I don't know why it happens but it just does. I know its plain and simple, I'm selfish. I'm just selfish. I want to not plan ahead and go with the flow, not taking into consideration what my gf has planned for me. Is it my obligation to spend most of my time with her? Is it considered a default that any free time you have, is go be with your gf unless stated otherwise? It doesnt mean I love my gf any less or I'm not committed to her, its just that men like me prefer quality time over quantity time.
.
.
Women on the other hand, search for security. They want to get it done so that they know their future is secure. And it is within their nature that once they get a bf, the bf is prioritised and they expect men to do the same. They feel that once the bf want to do something else other than spend time with her, it means the spark is dropping or they are drifting away. How can it be that men and women don't have the same understanding of what spending time together is? I saying this outright, a gf is not obligated to serve her bf. Its done out of love bcos she wants to and when the men dont reciprocate, they feel its unfair or it shouldnt be like that.
.
.
I remember very clearly I negotiated with my mum after my SPM exams that I would get 72 hours free to do anything I want and that she will have no say in whatever I do. Anything, even if it means going off to Thailand or Singapore but coming back b4 the 72 hr ends. What drove me to ask her for that time? Because growing up, I always had to be accountable to my parents. They controlled me(for good reason) and made sure that I asked permission before going anywhere out of the ordinary. Once SPM was over, I felt relieved, I felt that I had the love of parents but wasnt under their control. I played and played and even decided I shouldnt waste time sleeping. However, I got too tired and eventually crashed. When I arrived in Australia, I had that same feeling again. The only thing that was gonna stop me from doing anything I want was that I had to attend classes. Other than that, I was a free man.
.
.
Is it wrong for me to feel this way? Now that I have a gf, do I need to ask her what her plans are b4 making mine? Does it show lack of commitment if I decide to do something for myself and don't even bother asking her? Don't get me wrong, my gf gives me so much freedom but I still feel that, I have to tell her what I'm going to do or where I'm going. Am I under any morale conduct that bf have to be accountable to gf? Does this show that men are all pigs for being so selfish?
.
.
Maybe we men are just in self denial. The moment our life gets routined, the moment we have to 'report' to someone else, that's it - You're now a grown men and you cant run from your responsibilities. The moment you get married, your responsibility changes from being a bf to a husband and a father. Personally I think theres a significant difference in being ready to be a bf and being ready to be a husband. I'm ready to be in a relationship, but I'm not ready to be in a married one. Thats just the immaturity of younger men. The moment a boy is ready to think of 'we', thats when the boy is ready to pop the question. I wonder when will I ever get that maturity in thinking. I'm so desperate for being free but yet still want to attention and love of my gf. I want to be me 1st then think of gf, while my gf prioritises me more than I do for her. Its selfish but thats just the way it is. There is no right or wrong in this matter, just tolerance and working out a balance.

New Year 2011

2011-01-03T00:11:00.002+11:00

Ok, so after a year long break from blogging, I finally think its time to start again.
The reason I started this blog was for me to keep track of my life here in Aussie. However, due to business and lazyness, I've stopped...for a really long time..
.
.
That aside, lets start things afresh. I am now a PR here in Melbourne, jobless(in accounting) and pretty much working my butt off to live. I realise that setting goals for the year has not been very productive. reason? I dunno le, somehow people seem to work towards their goals because they feel that sense of achievement or to push themselves to be a better person. I on the other hand, really don't feel the need to reach those goals I set. There is just no motivation, no passion to reaching those goals. So lets take a look at review for goals set for 2010.

i) Graduate by June and get a good job - part 1 yeah!, part 2 - $^%$%^&%$ frus frus and super frus...

ii) Read the New Testament completely (its about time I get this done) - oops...this is becoming a major concern...perhaps I should aim smaller this year.

iii) Be a less 'wood' bf. Although this wouldnt be prioritise as I still love watching Aster's reaction when she says I'm not expressive enough. - errr...cant really measure myself in this department. feedback anyone??

iv) End the year with a +5000 balance (this runs closely to goal (i)) - wow this was extremely way off...however I am satisfied with a positive balance considering I can hardly save with such significant outflows every month...wat do i do with my money?? hmmmmm.....

v) Enter JG - acheived!
.
.
.
Maybe 2010 wasnt such a bad year after all. I shall contemplate on what goals to set for this year...

Girls gone missing

2010-01-01T19:38:00.004+11:00

For my first post of year 2010:
Girls gone missing!!!

There has been a sudden outflux of my girl(friends) at the moment.
Aster - went back home to Singapore, and will be going ~~Korea~~Japan soon
Mel - gone back to Msia for good
Pei Xian - oso gone back to Msia (hopefully not for good :D)

well at least SuWen is coming so got another girl to torture besides Aster :D

.
.
I've decided to make proper goals for 2010:
i) Graduate by June and get a good job
ii) Read the New Testament completely (its about time I get this done)
iii) Be a less 'wood' bf. Although this wouldnt be prioritise as I still love watching Aster's reaction when she says I'm not expressive enough.

What You're Going To Be One Day

2009-11-25T00:03:00.003+11:00

I know I haven't blogged in a while. Probably because of the exams and busy-ness and also the fact that I've lost inspiration to blog. And I realised that its going to take really something big to get back typing here. But finally, I found something which I think is really something worth sharing. To my fellow readers who do the 'Connect' journal of Joshua, Nehemiah & Thessalonians, its in between day 35-36. To my fellow Christians, enjoy reading. To those skeptical or just don't bother, some food for thought. I actually searched up google and am surprised that I cant find it anywhere so I decided to type it.

The article:

Three words: "It's morphin' time!" As children, my brothers and I were addicted to our favourite show, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers – an addiction that eventually led to an extensive card collection, elaborate performances and doing our own stunts. I thought I was – by far – the best yellow ranger.

But it was all part of the game we play as children, being anything we want to be. Unfortunately, it’s a game that eventually ends. No one really grows up to be Superman, Barbie, a Care Bear or even a Power Ranger. We lose touch of the “sky’s the limit” attitude and fit ourselves into nicely-contained packages labeled “teacher,” “clerk,” “doctor,” “lawyer,” “employee,” “writer” and even “professional television viewer.” These labels don’t define who we are, but what we do. And it’s difficult for some people to figure out what they are supposed to do with their lives.

Kids are asked, “What are you going to be when you grow up?” They have to draw out their dream on bright sheets of paper where everything is a possibility, and if little Sammy wants to be a truck, then he can be the best truck. My friend’s three year old wants to be the Tod the fox from The Fox and the Hound – you get the picture. Children eventually become more grounded. Whatever our answer to that question might have been, it will probably change or evolve into something more meaningful, or realistic.

Now I am asked, “What are you going to do after graduation?” My response varies, but it always includes a shrug of the shoulders and a look of uncertainty. In a week I will be receiving a college degree, and I don’t have any concrete plans for my future.

In these past few weeks I’ve realized that the big mystery of college graduation revolves around the question, “What now?” Where have these past 18 years of education brought me? I am surrounded by people asking that same question, and the majority of my friends (including me) have a cloud of Eeyore-like gloom over our heads. We walk around wondering what’s going to happen to us and what we should do with our lives.

We live without concrete answers, and yet our society calls for 9-to-5 decisions. There doesn’t seem to be room for God-inspired passion, and it’s hard to let go of the control we yearn for. We really don’t want to let God take control of all our questions, doubts or entire life.

The truth is that I don’t know what I want to be, but I know what I don’t want to be: a person who holds onto everything and doesn’t let God in. I don’t want to become someone who doesn’t love what they do, who doesn’t enjoy making a difference, someone who lets life pass by without enjoying every moment, breathing in every breath and loving every minute of it. I’m not sure where that leaves me, but I do know that I cannot do this on my own. I’m not built for that. All I can do is trust and hold fast to everything that God has planned for me.

Easier said than done? Yes, but it’s one of those “sky’s the limit” instances where there is no end to God’s amazing love for us. I don’t need to worry about my future plans if I place those plans in the hands of the One who holds the future. I’ll sit back and enjoy the ride, because wherever it takes me, it will be where God wants me to be.

I find this really fitting to my current position...lol

Anyway, that's all

Man In The Mirror

2009-09-01T02:06:00.005+10:00

I suddenly went back to the Michael Jackson phase. Lol, I think Aster can testify to this.
.
.
You know the saying that you only appreciate something when u lose it. Well, I think a lot of people failed to appreciate Michael Jackson's music. Now that he has left this world, the sudden playback of his songs has caught my attention.
.
.
Firstly, I think its quite rude for all the entertainment industries to take advantage of his shocking news to make money. Its been few months now and there are still new reports on his death and other scandals.
2nd, I think they should just leave him in peace la. After all, he was the King Of Pop. So what if now u tell me he was a drug user, or even come up with evidence he was/wasn't a child molester. Just put him to rest and embed the memories that he has brought us while growing up.
.
.
Lol, despite Aster's constant comments that 'why suddenly Michael Jackson again wan?' or 'not again!!' I dunno why I suddenly like his songs again.
.
.
But what's important is that its only after he's gone that I realise his music was really reaching out to people. You can condemn him all you want, but the lyrics in his music is what I respect him for.
.
.
Man in the mirror:
I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs....
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place...
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
.
.
Heal the world:
There Are Ways
To Get There
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Little Space
Make A Better Place...
Heal The World
Make It A Better Place
For You And For Me
And The Entire Human Race
There Are People Dying
If You Care Enough
For The Living
Make A Better Place
For You And For Me....
.
.
We are the World:
There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on
Pretneding day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me....
.
.
Black or White (rap section):
Protection
For gangs, clubs
And nations
Causing grief in
Human relations
Its a turf war
On a global scale
Id rather hear both sides
Of the tale
See, its not about races
Just places
Faces
Where your blood
Comes from
Is where your space is
Ive seen the bright
Get duller
Im not going to spend
My life being a color...
.
.
Earth Song:
What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain.. .
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores?

Aaaaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
The crying Earth the weeping shores.
.
.
.
If we ever stop just to listen to some of the songs he sang, take note of the beautiful lyrics :)

25 August!!!

2009-08-24T22:44:00.005+10:00

Today is my special someone's birthday...hehe, although most of you know I hardly post much about Aster, on her birthday it still calls for a special occassion. I guess time really flies. It feels like only yesterday when we got together, but then the reality is that its close to 5 months. I'm getting old...

Anyway, I guess I ought to cherish her more and learn how to show affection by actions instead of just talk, and the journey so far has been rather interesting. Of course I'm not gonna say that we both are super perfect. There has been its ups and downs, arguments, apologies and compromise. But hey, I don't think there is a couple in this world whom have never argued at all lo..
.
.
Aster, being my first gf is a small kid :P As of today she is 19! And I'm about to reach 22. Didn't I say I am old adi? However, to me she lives in a fantasy world where she is a princess and is pampered by her parents, frens and the people around her that love her. Then the pressure of the Science Law degree kicks in and thats where the rare few of u all encounter the 'stressed-look' Aster. Plus there is something intriguing about her mood swings... =p
.
.
Our journey so far.....When I first met her...

After our many outings(not dates), I got her to send me this which I kept as my wallpaper secretly....hehe....muahahaha...

1 week old, we were studying at the library already...one of our 1st few pics...

Asean Ball....

She joins my 'gang' too...

Our recent holiday in Sydney...

(warning, mushi alert!!!)
Dear, thx for being there for me and also bringing extra joy into my life. As you grow older, may you always stay the same (mature abit oso can :P) and not forget the things that make you, YOU. May God continue to bless you abundantly and guide you through ur everyday life. <3 u always.... :)

interesting...

2009-07-26T23:58:00.004+10:00

Hmmm..I seem to notice that my last post has sparked some 'interesting' comments.
.
.
Well, usually I do not respond to flamers or people who try to attack me despite not even knowing me but then this time, not for the sake or arguing, I'm here to justify myself.
.
.
A blog is personal. It is meant for the author to just express him/herself whenever he/she wants to pen down their thoughts. For most people, they like their blogs to be beautiful with all the nice background and decorations. Some people use it to update their friends and hence the links to all their friends blog. I do not view my blog to serve this type of purpose. To me, the most essential element to blogging is sincerity. Be it right or wrong, good or bad, I write what I want to write because at that very moment I find that special necessity to say something. All my birthday dedications are done with sincere wishes, all the posts on my life are sincere posting. I never and I repeat never delete any of my posts. Look at my first post and it will tell u that I started a blog to keep a record of how my life will be as a student in Australia. No doubt this will continue long after I have finish my studies. What does this blog function if all my posts are just about the good things that happen? Is it really true that only good things happen to me in my everyday life? Of course not. My rants and complains are not an attack, but rather a reminder of what I went through at this stage in my life. Heck, look at XiaXue. She uses profanity left right and centre but the one thing about her typings are that she is being honest.
.
.
And to my repeat flamer, this will be the one and only time I will fully respond to your comments.
1. I did not throw my temper. Read again, I said I'm not angry, just irritated. Please put on your spectacles
2. Why are u asking me whether I'm better than a girl? I believe in equal rights. Men and women are the same. I didn't say I was attacking a girl but you assumed I was. And I did not mention anything about gender dominance, u assumed I did. Why would u talk about difference in gender? Do u feel that ur gender is inferior thus causing u to blast this part out? If u do, then I'm trully sorry for u(real sincerity here)
3. You attacked my gf! You said my gf must be ****ty blind. For that, I would say you are in the wrong. What has she ever done to u?
4. I'm super not gentlemen. Hello? do u know me? Am I not a gentlemen or by the way I sound you assume me not to be one? Matthew 7:3 says: Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in you own eye? If you dont understand this let me intepret in simple terms - Who are you to judge me? Who are you to conclude about me?
5. Typical petty Asian men. This is downright ridiculous. Its a blatant racist comment which anybody can testify you being in the wrong. Saying this only makes me conclude that you are not Asian. But whatever race you are, I respect it and I advice you to better start respecting other races.
6. My gf should dump me? Thats for her to decide, not for u to comment :)
7. Hell lots to learn. Yea, I know about hell, but I don't wanna learn about it. I'm not going there. And yes I admit I have lots to learn. I'm not omnicient. But question is, do you think you yourself have lots to learn? If u think yes, why pointing out the obvious to me? You urself know you've got lots to learn. If u think no, either you are God or downright arrogant for thinking you are that smart. Since the possibility of the former is 0% and the latter 100%, perhaps you should think again before commenting.
.
.
I can go on, but then I'm lazy. Have a great day flamer. Oh btw, I'm not doing law if by that points pointed out you ASSUME me to be.

2009-07-17T11:24:00.000+10:00

I found this in my email this morning...Usually I discard it when the title says 'job offer'
but since I'm gonna have to start looking for one, I might as well take a look, and found this..

Dear Shenhaw,

Do you want to participate in the greatest Mystery Shopping quests nationwide? Have
you ever wondered how Mystery Shoppers are recruited and how prosperous companies
keep up doing business in the highly competitive business world? The answer is that
many companies are recruiting young, creative, observant, and responsible
individuals like you to give their feedback on various products and customer
services and thus improve their quality.

As a Mystery Shopper you have only one responsibility: Act as a real customer while
evaluating the place you are sent to mystery shop and enjoy all the benefits that go
along with your job. Remember that you have nothing to lose, because you are awarded
generously for your efforts:

-You get paid between $10 and $40 per hour for each mystery shopping assignment;
-You keep all things that you have purchased for free;
-You watch movies, eat in restaurants, and visit amusement parks for free;
-You are turning your most enjoyable hobby into a well-paying activity.

Be aware that as a Mystery Shopper you can earn on average $100 to $300 per week.
The most experienced and hard-working shoppers earn up to $500 weekly. This
well-paying job gives you the possibility to visit and observe shops, restaurants,
banks, movie theaters, etc. in order to find their flaws and help their owners
correct and improve them. You can be a Mystery Shopper whenever you have time,
because there is no fixed timetable and you are not obliged to take all the
assignments offered.

If you are interested and would like to give a shot to this intriguing job offer,
just write me back and I will provide you with more pertinent information.

Good Luck,
Dorothy Porter
Recruitment Coordinator

17 June....major delayed..and something extra..

2009-06-29T12:06:00.007+10:00

Ok, exams are over...nice!!!
.
.
Haih, I know that I usually post up a dedication post to people's birthdays...at least those who are close to me. But sometimes I wonder, does anybody read it? Or has it become such a routine of mine that whenever I fail to put up anything, that somebody gets disappointed??
.
.
Anyway, putting that aside..17 June which I shall call brain day, because all the major smart people are born on this day...(damn, why not 2nd october -___-"). On 1987, 2 people by the name of Arun and Ashok were brought into this world. And I think they have so much to offer back to the world, in terms of research or discovery (not yet la...lol) Well having finished their basic course at Cambridge university on Maths and Physics, graduating with first class honours, and now heading on to do masters....soon they'll be doctors..no doubt about it..So, as I haven't been keeping in much contact with them over the pass year, I don't really know much updates about them, just that they are doing fine :)
.
.
Happy birthday to the both of them!.
.
Then comes the girl with both brains and talent (wah...puji much again). Yes, the person whose videos are mostly on my blog and cant be found anywhere else, plus the ever-growing family of hers visiting my blog (due to her videos) was also born on this day. Having made the deans list again, and scoring highest for 2 subjects IFA and CM (if u dunno dun bother to find out..lol). Not to mention the countless singing competitions she's won including the prestigious Xin Xiu yada yada yada....Oh wait, I remember, she's gonna be famous, and I know her! So I might as well prove it online, that I KNOW MELISSA SEOW...ha? see when ur, famous u wont be able to deny not knowing me :P
.Happy Birthday Mel (I'm telling u, this pic can sell wan in the future :P)
.
.
On to the something extra. I think its been a happening week, some happy and some sad occasions..examples..
Had exam-sad
Exam over-happy
Watched transformers-happy
MJ died-sad
Sim came-happy
But the fact he's only here for a month-sad
Aster's dad here-errr......(impartial???)(dear, dun kill me ar... :P)
Just found out some really good news from someone back in Sg(like literarilly JUST)-happy
JOEL SEE LEFT MELBOURNE-:( :( :( :(
.
.
Actually I shouldn't let this extra something overshadow the birthday dedications, but aiya, I guess when you a close fren leaves u really want to give him some acknowledgement la..
For most of u who actually follows this (head count probably zero), I hardly write about Joel, but then he doesn't read my blog so haha...no point writing anything about him. He's the first person who brought me clubbing...lol, and he played a lot of DotA with me...like really alot. I've watched more movies with him than any other person in my life despite him only coming to Melbourne like less than a year ago and gone with me to crown the most. Our regular eating places were Dessert house, A1, Chinatown, more dessert house and more A1. Then the umpteen times we visited maccas and KFC lol....I'm happy for him going back because its what he wanted, but I'm also sad I lost a close companion here in Melb. Thank you Joel, for being my best fren in Melb (so far)(and only in the guys category la :P) and for all the snoring nights I had staying over at your place because I had early morning class the following day.
.
.
Bah, not like I'm not going to see him anymore..but here's some pics of the good times...

Xin Xiu Singing Competition..

2009-05-27T23:31:00.013+10:00

Ok, the sudden lack of posts is due to the sudden lack of inspiration to blog. However, there is great news, and great videos to watch, as Melissa has done it again, winning yet another singing competition. This time, I can say its the biggest she has ever won as it is a very competitive and difficult competition to win, as there are so so so so many contestants that so many knockout stages had to be held.

.
Anyway, just a short background on the competition, from semi-finals, there will be 20 decided to go into the finals. In the final itself, you are required to sing half a song and if u manage to enter the top 5 with that performance then u will automatically go into singing another full song. If u fail to enter the top 5, another 5 out of the remaining 15 will have to sing another half-song(that previously have been sung by other contestants) to prove that you are worthy enough to enter the full-song level. Out of this 5, 2 will be chosen to enter the full-song stage. Once the full-song stage is over, the top 3 will be selected to sing ONE cantonese song completely accapella with no music accompaniment. The winner would represent Melbourne to take part in some competition in Hong Kong which gathers the winners from all over the world(dunno wat extent is this 'world' though) hosted by China's own TVB8.
.
.
Mel sang 'Zhen Shi' by Ah Mei as her half-song, followed by 'Zhi Ji' (chinese version of Christina Aguillera's 'Reflection") as her full song. In entering the top 3 both rounds, she completed the final cantonese song with flawless vocals (fuuh..praise much eh...) to win it all....
.
.
Congrats Mel..hehe...famous adi dun 4get me ar...and I still want those autographs..In the future I can sell when you are rich and famous... :P

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

Mel's half-song 'Zhen Shi' by Zhang Hui Mei, despite hearing so many times...its still good..hehe..

Her full song 'Zhi Ji'

Her cantonese accapella
.
.
Not to say there was no competition though..check out this dude singing Bei Pan

.
.
And this girl singing some other cantonese song which I've heard so often...

.
.
.

This girl tried another difficult song. Ah Mei's Yong Gan. I thought she was quite ok, just that the song was a little out of her range. She struggled to reach the extremely high notes and it showed a slight weakness in her vocals...But if I could sing like this, I'm perfectly satisified...lol..
.

.
and finally the results..
.
.
hear the votes and cheers for Mel..

.
.
so many videos...lol...congrats again Mel...u owe me bubble for this long post....zzz :P

First Love..

2009-04-20T19:24:00.003+10:00

Haha...before u jump into any conclusions about the title, no, it doesnt only revolve around one love
.
.
I just felt like expressing something that I've been quite happy about..two things actually..
.
.
First thing, I have found it again, the same feeling I first had when I first encountered Jesus. And I owe it all to OC09. Overall, of all oceania conventions, the one I just came back from have trully been the best. I guess it was true that if I seek and expect something from God, He will really point me to the direction He wants me to be in. Can u remember how it felt when you first fell in love with Jesus? Has it changed over the years? Do u still feel like worshipping everywhere u go? I guess that over the past 2 years like any child begin to lose sight of wat he aims to be. OC 09 was really great, with all the convictions and revelations, plus not to mention the number of times I cried in desperate need for God. Now that I am in His presence again, prayerfully I would not slide away as He moves forward again. Its just a happiness that cant be explained with words. And this leads me to question, how did I lose something which gave me so much joy in the first place? I shall not ponder about the past, but focus on the future...
.
.
There's a new type of love for me now, a love for a woman(girl/lady whichever sounds right to u). It is quite new for me, as all my life, I've only learnt to love God. But when the right person comes along, I guess it just happens. I always imagined myself taking a very long time to seek out who suits me. Although fast, it feels right :)
I have no idea wat she sees in me, but I'm am thankful that she does cherish me alot. I know that many ppl say its the honeymoon period where everything seems to be going perfect and eventually it will subside. I don't want it to change. I don't want 'us' to change. Your characteristics defines you, and that makes me like you, don't take it away!! I know I cant offer u much other than my care and support but I hope it is enough for u :) (i dunno how to be mushi..lol)
.
Thank you dear for giving me a chance, I will commit as much as I can into this relationship :)
.
.
Other than the upcoming mid-sem tests, everything has been going on better than fine in my life right now. God and people are the ones that push me thru...

Memories that will drift away....

2009-03-21T08:03:00.003+11:00

For a dunno wat reason, I call my grandmother ma ma...
.
.
Ma ma: *speaks in a hainanese dialect*
Me: Ma ma, wo bu hui jiang hai nan hua
Ma ma: bu hui jiang hai nan hua? ni shi se mo ren? ni jiang, ni shi se mo ren
Me: wo se hai nan ren...-____-"
Ma ma: Hai nan ren bu hui jiang hai nan hua, ni de peng you zhi dao, xiao se ni lo
Me: aw.....*at this point I will usually have some excuse to leave the table or my dad will interupt and start talking to her*
.
.
My grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's disease for a while now. While it was evident that this day would come, everybody is still caught by surprise when it actually does happen! Among my whole immediate family she is the most distant to me. And during the last few years the disease has reached its higher stages causing her to forget more and more and thus making this conversation as written above very frequent. Hmm...somehow, I wanna hear her say those words "Ni shi se mo ren" one more time...
.
.
Death is imminent, it is part of life and it is part of God's plan. There is a higher purpose for it to happen. We mourn the loss but we rejoice this passing on. Bye bye Ma ma....

2009-03-11T18:59:00.002+11:00

Ok, I think I have like lost the motivation to blog. After so long, I just cant think of what to write about...
.
.
Lets start with I have moved to a new place. I'm beginning to grow used to this new place, althought when I first moved in, I have to admit I resented it abit. Its dark and, quiet and there are no taps for the basin, either damn hot, or damn cold!! Lol..but then after a while I got used to it la, besides I have a bigger room now.
.
.
Ok class have started, and I have an interesting subject this semester as my elective. Called Riffs: Introduction to the Acoustic Guitar. It is quite interesting as I haven't had formal teaching of the guitar, I just jumped straight into strumming.
.
.
Been interested in something new though, clubbing..enough said...
.
.
After work at EY, I basically just went nocturnal and enjoyed the last few days of my holiday in Malaysia. I came back at about 4am average every night, frequently playing pool and watching soccer matches at Asia Cafe. But then I had to return to Melbourne and my ideal wasting my life away lifestyle had now disappeared into thin air :( There's no more Astro and have to watch the MU-Inter game tmr on SBS, no more wide screen tv and comfort of my sofa plus the clear screen..

Ok this update is so boring I dowan to type anymore..

It was a long day...the sight of sunlight was no where to be seen. He walks to the car and feels a slight breeze. The feeling of the scorching heat from the sun has faded ages ago. The atmosphere felt gloomy cos it dark all around. Slowly he opened the car door, and drove off. Took a wrong turn but eventually found his way back.
He opens the gate and drives the car up the ramp onto the tiled area called the parking space. He looks at his watch. My goodness its 3am. Jonathan Chua just got home from work....

101th post..

2008-12-19T18:00:00.001+11:00

You noe wat is funny? Working as a vacation trainee..

I started working for Ernst & Young as a vacation trainee just 4 days ago. On the first day, it was tiring..all the admin stuff, followed by IT training as each of us gets our own laptop for the time being. After lunch there was training in audit for all vacation trainees and again that took up the whole day till it was time to go home..Not bad for a first day eh..but wait..

Day 2 has arrived, and as we have not been assigned to any manager just yet we were required to go wait at reception for our admin officers to arrive. I came at 8.30 and guess wat time the admin officer came....9.30am! So most of us just sat at the reception for a whole hour talking bullshit and crapping away. After doing a few simple stuff I was brought to the clients office. I doing auditting for this listed company known as the Faber Group. Considering its size the manager did tell me its probably going to be the ONLY project that I would be working on. I arrived there about 11am and there started the real auditting work..work.work.work..until way pass my lunch time. Had a short lunch and went back to work...until overtime about an hour..So there it is, 2nd day..more tiring than the 1st day...I can practically guess whats in store of working in one of the "Big Four".

Day 3, I was told there was gonna be a meeting to plan for auditting the company. I expected it to be about half a day and we would proceed to the client's office. The allocated expected time for the meeting was well short of the actual meeting time. The freaking meeting was 9 hours long!! Who goes for a meeting for 9 hours. And I was one of those that was selected to do minutes for a meeting. Its called minutes for a reason, so that we can record the details of the minutes that were discussed during a meeting. But how can one keep a concentrated mind on writing everything that has been discussed per minute when the meeting is 9 hours!!! Damn, yesterday was really tiring. Another hour and I would actually get OT pay but then they fell short so I cant claim OT...

Day 4. By now, you can see the trend of increasing work to be done everyday. So I slept early, got the rest ready for day 4!! Early in the morning, my senior associate told me that there has been a change of plans and I was to go to office instead of going to the clients place direct. When I arrived, she told me she was on emergency leave. Then I could'nt see neither the assistant manager of the manager in charge of this project. When they finally arrived, they had nothing in store for me. I ran a few simple checks and errands and wasted my time away on web messenger and facebook...After lunch, I went to consult ppl in the IT department for a small problem. Its 3.15 now, almost 2 hours since lunch, and I haven't gotten any work yet...lol..talk about slowing down!! Its boring me to death as I'm blogging away from office!!!...haih..nothing to do..

ooh wait..I see my assistant manager getting up!!.................

She walks towards my manager and begins discussing...nope, no work for me yet..perhaps I should take a nap in front of the Partner's room..hehe..

2008-11-24T02:11:00.004+11:00

Recently there has been a surprise surge of talking to ppl I used to live with. While spending so much time in front of the computer studying (and facebook-ing as well), I talked to 2 people that were my neighbours back in the condominium I used to live in.
.
The 1st person was Jia Jen(JJ). Haha..this guy damn funny la, the amount of time I spend with this guy was like more than the amount of time I spent with any other person in the condo. How I met him is a funny story actually. You see when I was in primary skool, while waiting for my transport to arrive, I met this small girl. Her name is Xin Yan. She was the talkative one cos I don simply say hi to small girls..haha..Anyway, whenever I mentioned of something, she would always go, "My brother can do this, my brother can do that." She had nothing but praise for this 'brother' of hers. Fast forward a few years, my cousin came to my hse once and we went to the basketball court to play some games. My cousin noticed his fren from skool and asked me, "Do u noe that guy?" I said no, hence an introduction was made. JJ is a year younger than me and we share similar interests. So after becoming rather close, one day I went to his hse. Surprise surprise I saw that small girl there so I asked, "What are u doing here?" She replied, "I live here!! What are u doing here?" -.- Then it struck me that I have met her 'full of praise' brother. We moved from Street Fighter to playing basketball, to playstation, to basketball again then to Fifa/Counterstrike.
.
The next person was Ai Yee. Aaahh..the girl I chat with while waiting for transport in early secondary. Its always the waiting for transport. Hardly spoke much with her after I moved out but we chat recently and realised so much has changed. Like now we are both in universities, I'm in Aus while she's in UK (Uni Reading).
.
.
Of course I have made plans to go back and visit them. Can hardly wait, they were the big part of my childhood. So many memories, disregarding fond ones or not.
.
Its not until I saw pictures of Xin Yan again that it struck me how much time flies by. I mean that was the talkative girl. That was the girl that me and JJ teamed up to bully (wahahaha..bully small kid). That was the small girl that we picked fights with and chased me around the house when she got mad at us. I think I remembered that she cried on one occasion -___-" But she's all grown up now. Elegant and pretty, (a bit the camwhore as well..lol). I mean yea la, I was nerdy and geeky back then but this is like some 7 years ago. And 7 years ago memories usually arent very clear when u think of them. 7 years ago should be quite vague by now but its not. All I can feel now, is I'm getting old!!...

Hysterical rantings

2008-11-06T15:05:00.002+11:00

I juz read XiaXue's blog (rare for me nowadays since I don't visit it as much as I used to) and she ranted alot...as in really alot. But I must say, it has been one of her best posts ever. Sticking to the roots, XiaXue I believe became famous bcos of her no holding back attitude in lashing out at ppl and cursing profanities left, right, and centre. Its a credible attitude standing out strong for a girl, but lately, she has become more and more about the girls stuff like how to put make up, buy wat clothes la and all those luxury stuff. Yea, of course its her blog she can do watever she wants with it and I'm pretty sure her big fan base consists of women...

Back to her rantings she did an amazing speakout on why she hates smokers which I did enjoy reading. If u can ignore the amount of F words she uses perhaps u can really notice the point she is trying to make.
.
.
But the last part was a rant about a manager of a steak house that refused to change the steak for them bcos it has too much fats. She requests for the steak to be changed but the manager didn't allow it because it was already half-eaten. Well, XiaXue claims it was not even half-eaten but it all depends on each parties side of the story. The point is the proportion of the eaten-steak is not the point of contention but rather the amount of fats in the steak and the ridiculous manager of not wanting to change it.
You noe the terms where customer is always right and everything, that wat the customer requests it shud be given. Well, its true that if a customer is paying for the food/goods he shud be satisfied with it. After all, they are the ones paying for it. So in this case, the manager shud have just apologised and tend to her requests. Heck, even Kenny Rogers have this j'ust say yes' policy where they value the customers experience instead of debating with them EVENTHOUGH they are wrong. The logic behind this is that if the customer is satisfied with the service and happy with the way things were handled, they'd probably tell their frens to come as well or they will certainly return again to eat there. Put more effort into serving the customer and they will return, with more ppl as well - an indirect benefit, foreseeing increased revenue in the future.
Obviously we hope that all restaurants ideally practise this in real life. The sad reality of life is that this is not wat actually happens. I've worked in the food industry, and I've talked to many ppl who has worked in the food industry. Just for the consumers sake, DON"T EVER PISS OFF THE WAITER!! Its really not a good position to be in. By right, even if the waiter is wrong, point it out and dun make him angry. Remember, the waiter is the person who serves u the food, and he'll be the last one to touch the food before it reaches u!! Alert now?
Yes, waiters have their pride, their ego, their self-esteem not get humiliated or scolded. While they cant fight back cos they'll lose their job if the do argue with the customer they find other ways to get back at u. I had a work colleague(not Kenny Rogers) who was angry at a customer who was being very picky, he rubbed the burger meat on the kitchen floor before serving it. I had a fren who got angry because the customer yelled at him, he spit into the drink. You've seen it in movies as well, and it really happens!! Its sad because the consumers in the food industry becomes the victim. Either u speak to the waiter politely or u suck it up and be satisified.
Considering the big scene that XiaXue made, I'm just about 80% sure that something has gone into the new steak. Especially when tones were raised like that. I mean steak is black!!, u cant notice if it has been dropped on the floor or rubbed against dirt, maybe not till its already in your mouth!! This doesnt even count the hygene conditions in the kitchen. Food dropping on the floor? Applying the 3 sec rule where u pick up the food within 3 secs? Haha...u might think its unfair, but just ask anyone who works in a food industry, I'm pretty sure its the same. Never mess with the waiter, they have many ways to 'season' ur food, and there's no exception, even fine-dining restaurants. But to be fair to them, some rude customers can really be a pain in the neck....

Diminishing growth in God...

2008-10-25T03:15:00.004+11:00

Can u remember the first time when we felt God's presence. The first time he answered our prayers. The first time we see things in a different prespective. The first time we felt calm knowing that He is on our side...
.
.
Where do we stand today? How is that flame kept alive, or has it been put out by the devil's extinguisher?
.
Jeremiah 2:2 - I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the desert, through a land not sown.
v5 - What fault did you fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me?
.
.
I know that we are suppose to grow, cos we are constantly fed by spiritual food...but sometimes we have expectations on where we intend to grow up to. But when it comes to that point, do we really feel like we are really that spiritually mature?
.
.
Its been clearly shown of how the people of the past were. Its no different today. We see many back-sliders, many cases of incidents that put leaders to shame, the sudden feeling that u think church isn't all that great after all bcos we are so judgemental in how we think. Oh look, its the offering bag, I wonder where the money goes to. Sending it to the poor children in Africa, or funding that multi-million dollar church building. In the wake of trying to expand, we need a bigger church area, therefore new building, therefore need money. We lose that confidence in churches because we tend to think, how could God let such a thing like that happen?
.
.
Its not the 1st time we hear about straying away. We have Abram, Saul, David, Samson, Moses, Judas, Peter all had their part in straying away even for the slightest moment. So its not a big deal to realise when we have strayed away, but its a big deal when we don't deal with it. I noe how I was last year, and I also noe how I am this year in terms of devotion, acknowledgement and obedience to God. Saul went further away from God and eventually commited suicide (caused his son Jonathan to die as well...issshhh..) Abram returned to the Lord. So who do we want to be? Saul or Abram?
.
If we see a friend begin to stray away, bring him back. Bring him back to the point where he 1st experienced God. Bring him back to the place where he could just place everything in His hands and trust him. Bring him back to where he could rely on God and not his own strength. Bring him back to the path which God has set for him and let His will be done. Don't conform to listening to the worldly matters that drags us away from Him, instead realise that the relationship you have with God is only between you and God that external factors are to be cut off...
.
.
What do u want Jesus to say when we reach heaven? Away from me as I don't know you, or well done my good and faithful servant? :)

BFF..

2008-10-22T23:06:00.003+11:00

Ok so if u have not heard the term bff then u are not up to date with the current simplifications. BFF = best fren forever..
.
Ok why bring it up? Well basically we all know Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie were bff's rite, but then Nicole decided to get married and pregnant and give birth. With all the new responsibilities as a mum and wife she can no longer have those partying days thus lead her to announce that she's moving into a different phase of life. That gives birth to the reality series where Paris starts searching for a new bff!! (ok technically the last f means forever which means it cant change wan, but wat the heck, they are juz words rite).
.
This inspired XiaXue to say, "I want a new bff too!!!" Cos well lets face it, all her friends were getting married and working while she earns juz by being nocturnal and blogging away...
.
Lets juz say, my bff, has now got a bf. Guys noe wat exactly I mean, less time with the bff as she prioritises bf over bff rite...Everybody girl that gets into a relationship sure claim that it wouldn't happen but come on la, its a fact ok, spend more time with bf = spend less time with bff (not that I was spending much time with her anyway)..
.
In short, conclusion is, need to find new BFF toooooooo.........

Simple Maths..

2008-10-17T17:31:00.002+11:00

Time is money, therefore Time = Money
Knowledge is Power, therefore Knowledge = Power
.
.
Hey, I don need to be engineer, juz basic Physics to noe that;
Power = Work/Time,
.
.
Subsitute time as money and power as knowledge, we get;
Knowledge = Work / Money, which can be rearranged to;

Money = Work / Knowledge,

work is held constant, and as knowledge decreases, money approaches infinity.
.
Conclusion, the less knowledge u have, the more money gonna drop from sky to u...lol

Arrogant Idiot

2008-10-15T19:05:00.003+11:00

U noe how many ppl tend to tell u all the differences between the aussies and the asians and how the cultural difference is shown clearly. Well for instance theres the racism. There's alot of comments saying that there are many aussies we run into that are racist. Like how some tram drivers will stop for another aussie bloke but when they see an asian dude running towards the tram they'll go like..hahaha, no way I'm letting this asian get onto the tram and they'll just close the door and rush off -___-". Then there's the friendly-ness of ppl. Asians tend to just hang around asians and not mingle around with the aussies, I mean lets face it, they white we yellow equals no same. But the aussies don't mind juz mixing around. I noe so many aussie dudes juz coming up to u and go like "hey man, how's it going?"
.
.
Then theres the openness culture. Aussies tend to show pda more often like hugging when they see a fren, giving a peck on the cheek. While the asians will like shake hands and hug only if ur like super close. Heck the aussies can even find some random stranger in the bar and take her home to errr....lets not get there (yea, juz look up stats on avg age of teens losing their virginity between westerns and asians). I dont even bother looking it up and I adi noe the difference.
.
.
But the one thing that I find amusing in Australia is the manners of the public servants. Sure some of them are racist but then if u are able to find a friendly aussie, he'll juz bring himself to ur lvl and talk to u. Don get wat I mean? Ok, lets say a tram cleaner gets onto the tram, he wont think himself of a lower lvl of society and juz talk to u like a normal fren. In Asia there's this hierachy where oh cleaners are lower lvls so dun talk to them and they wont talk to u. If its a tram inspector, after asking for ur tickets he wont abuse his power and can even crack a joke with the commuters. I dont have to elaborate on the police in Asia abusing their power bcos they think they have this "I am the law status!!"
.
.
Just earlier I reach back by train and I saw the digital board stating the nxt bus is at 7.23. Well considering the time was 6.53, it couldnt be right cos the bus intervals are every 15 mins. So I looked at the normal board and the departure time stated was 7.08. So I wanted to ask the bus driver. I knocked on the bus door and this old asian man was inside. He knew I was waiting but he took his own sweet time in drinking his water then opening the door. This was wat happenned:
Me: Excuse me, but does this bus leave at 7.08 and 7.23?
Bus Driver (BD): *stares at me with tulan face*...huh? why u telling me all these times for?
Me: *shocked at his rudeness* Cos the digital board says 7.23 and this board says 7.08
BD: I dunno.........
Me: ?
BD: All I noe is I'm leaving in 12 mins
Me: kthxbai..
.
.
I'm so shocked at the attitude he gave me, so rude. I bet if it was some aussie driver he'll give a smile and tell me the exact time. I mean yea so he's older than me, so I respected him in asking him politely, but his reply was as if I was some small kid who didnt know better...but after all these, an aussie would take down the bus number and that guys name and send in a formal complain to Connex. I, as an asian, walk away and complain about it on my blog cos I'm juz too darn lazy to do anything about it...lol...

Series..

2008-10-11T10:03:00.003+11:00

Ok...eventhough I'm attempting to switch into the all study mode, it still doesn't mean I don't watch series. Not a good thing? Well thankfully I don't find the urgency to watch any of the Korean dramas which I can get so addicted to...Yeah!!..
.
.
But anyway, it was a while ago when I decided on the few series I would follow. At first I pick One Tree Hill....that was a must watch!! Romance and basketball seems to be a good storyline to follow..sadly enough there are not enough OTH fans around..haih...
.
.
Then I watch Heroes as well. Couldn't help not watching bcos I actually saw the 1st season back in Malaysia and wat happens when u start watching the 1st season, yea, u get hooked and u try to follow to continue the never-ending storyline.
.
.
Nope, I didnt watch prison break. I noe some of u guys are gonna kill me for this but then I noe its good, I've seen a couple of episodes and its really very exciting/interesting but then considering I didnt follow the 1st season, I might as well spare myself from getting addicted to it. Well at least not yet la....maybe wait for one of the other series to end or die down. But I'm sure eventually one day I will watch Prison Break.
.
.
Gossip Girl!! ah, this is a chick series. While I'm sure some of u ppl noe that my fav genre of movies is romance/romantic comedy (guys who like chick flicks are a rare species!!). Up till now I cannot find any other guy who shares the same interest in romantic movies like me. Just like Heaven, How to lose a guy in 10 days, 27 dresses, Made of Honor, Definitely Maybe, The Notebook, Love Actually, 10 things I hate about u, wah all these are so chun man...lol...not to say I dont like action or suspense but if I were to choose, I'd go for romantic comedy 1st..back to gossip girl, I've been wanting to watch this, but I keep forgetting to get the 1st season of those who have it. Can someone remind me?? lol...
.
.
I watched the 1st few seasons of Smallville. Then I stopped, cos it got confusing, and too many ppl on the show having powers. but then I heard it was season finale of season 7 so I decided to just watch that last episode. Now I'm into the season 8. I never did actually follow much about the Clark-Lana storyline. Wats the point, eventually we noe Clark is gonna fall in love with Lois instead. As for now, Smallville can change its name to Superman adi. The show takes it to the point where Clark shifts to Metropolis, works at the Daily Planet, and is Lois's partner there. Lana is now missing/gone/kapoot/byebye. Why bother calling it Smallville, when its not at Smallville!!
.
.
The downside of watching all these up to date, is we gotta wait a week for that one episode. The next episode of Smallville featured Lois being tortured and admitting to the kidnapper that she loves Clark, right in front of him!! And its only out on Thursday!! which means the torrent releases on Friday night..Thats a week from now!!!!....haih.....no choice lo...
.
.
Well, at least I can back to study while waiting....oh wait, I've got soccer now!! -____-"

But anyway, if u refer back to one year ago, today is the birthday of a girl whom I have known for 20 years now!! Lol..doesn't help that I'm only 21 right..anyway, due to the closeness of my parents and her parents since their studying days, meeting them would be like a weekly event....at the badminton court though...or the occasionall gambling routine at one of the houses..hehe...

Things I want on my birthday...

2008-10-01T08:54:00.003+10:00

Turning 21 is very exciting, I mean thats the main threshold, once u pass 21 u can do anything, from Genting to renting a car in Australia, to being called an adult. For girls, they would be saying like aiya, getting so old. I want to be 21 and stay 21...hehe...
.
.
Now everybody wants something on their birthday, be it presents or special cards or wishes, so I decided to make a list of things I want on my birthday....but of course I dont expect them -.-
.
.
1) A letter by the Melbourne Uni stating I have already passed every subject this semester without having to take the final exams
2) My dad tell me his criteria is pushed forward to next sem and not this sem
3) Receive a brain program that can install all lecture materials into my head
4) Qualify for the finals of the AUG badminton tournament (semi-finals are on thursday)
5) A guitar that is absolutely so expensive I can never afford it
6) A BMW Z4
7) Friends from Malaysia come surprise me
8) Jay Chou's new CD
9) 10000 bucks enters my bank account
10) Jesus comes into my room at 12 am and tells me, "Happy Birthday my son"

Adding probabilities for each 'want' to happen and dividing by 10 to get the average, the result would be err............close to 0...lol

Bad Day..

2008-09-23T16:33:00.002+10:00

I argued with my dad last night....again...and I got such bad results in my mid-sem that it made me no mood the whole day. My dad told me if I were to fail even one subject this semester, he would cut of the funding of me into the final year. He was dead serious about it. I mean one would question how could a father do that to a son, well, meet my dad!! Well of course I wouldn't say he's all to blame, I probably did slack so much it brought me to this point. Well then, keep me in your prayers that I do find that motivation to study hard so that I can get through this semester, otherwise, I'm sure my Malaysian friends will be glad to know I'm back for good :)
.
.
And how do I celebrate such a bad acheivement? By going to Sydney for 4 days and taking part in university games next week!!! The time where ppl study the hardest to get back on track is the time I take the opportunity to go on holiday? haha..funny huh? If its so funny, why am I not smiling...

Second Chances

2008-09-06T11:42:00.003+10:00

Every man deserves a second chance. I agree with this completely. He rocked our friendship when he 1st made a mistake. He failed again but it was no concern to me. I gave it another go hoping he had changed but he blew it again. Now he wants one more try? I'm sorry, not if the consequences of u failing to live up to ur promises is too much to bear. I don't want to see them hurt, and I'm not gonna sit around and watch u do it over and over again...I am familiar with ur ways, ur methods, and ur style of getting wat u want and I dont agree with it. I know I am not a party that is involved with all that has happenned. Misunderstandings or not, a friendship should be built on trust and the amount of trust I have in u is at its bare minimum. No, not with her, she is too dear to me. Why do I feel I am going to lose a friend......................................

This small size girl, although she claims that asking her whether she put on weight was a stupid question has the innoncense of a timid rat and the sometimes the temper of a flaring tiger..wakaka...I used to remember its so funny that her small frame fits into that humongous X-trail...It looked like a normal guy driving a tractor. It gave that signal that, u mess with me, u get it from my car!!! lol...Ah, how the times we went out to eat at random places..one time even going all the way to Klang just for Bak Kut Teh...
.
Although many guys were after her in A-lvls..(I dunno bout now..hehe) she found her guy in the eyes of another Mr. Lim (which seems to be your right Mr.Lim after failing Lim's twice..haha..I know I very bad).
.
I always thought my family was one of a kind. But then after seeing her family, I'm more convinced mine is stale and normal..haha, her dad can crack lame jokes at funny times and really make us laughing like shit, her mom is also hilarious and often threaten to sit on ppl...lol..and her sisters...I dont really know much about...haha..
.
You know it really unfair that the ppl in UK hardly have the same time holidays with ppl in Aus. It just never clashes. I haven't seen so many of them since they left..and hopefully I get to see Weng nxt year February...
.
Till then Weng, have a blessed year ahead, I know u are having fun...

Dual-personality

2008-07-21T13:03:00.003+10:00

Some ppl can lead double lives. They can be good, caring, strong yet in front of other ppl can be wild and easy influenced. Can ppl really live like that? Leaving your old life behind to change for the better yet reaping at every occasion to fish back a bit of the fun and unethical lifestyle they used to have. Are u being fair to yourself? Are u being fair to God? Are u being fair to the frens who care about u? What if I only like ur good side but despise the wild side? I may be insignificant but ppl who u care dearly for might be thinking the same thing. But, that's you, you come as a package...and we might just have to accept its gonna take a while before u transform and not look back...

MASCA National Games and Conference 08

2008-07-05T19:32:00.016+10:00

I juz came back from after 4 days in Brisbane. With shoulders, thighs, calfs and hands aching, I practically slept like a pig this morning. Anyway, I have tons of pictures even though I dont have a camera but I'd juz lich of everyone who did bring a camera...hehe..Anyway, I went there for a badminton competition as I was the mens singles representative of Victoria. It was quite fun though because I went there with 5 other frens of which 3 I juz met...
.
.
.
Day 1 : I had to stay overnight in Tai Jia's house bcos the bus to Avalon airport was at 5.55am and I din want to wake up extremely early juz to travel to Southern Cross from Caulfield. So the conference was from July 1st - 4th and on the 30th I was adi in city. I din sleep at all the night before. Not that I was excited or anything but we(me, Tai Jia, and his hsemate Shao Dong) were talking to much crap and busy causing havoc on GTA San Andreas that there wasnt enough time to sleep..lol...right to the very end I was still blowing up cars on that computer game. So we met up with Wai Kit and headed to Melb Central around 5.20am and reached Southern Cross in time before the bus took of to Avalon. Flight was at 8am and when we arrived in Brisbane, I adi had the feeling I'm gonna be spending alot of cash here...zzz..We took a 10 person cab to University of Queensland St Lucia campus which cost each of us around 6 bucks(started la the money spending)..Thats the 10 people cab..lol and UQ behind..
After checking in, we got our stuff which included a Victoria scarf. a Victoria headband, a Victoria t-shirt(I noe, talk about semangat man..-__-"), the keys to the room and other goodies. It was a shock when I entered my room, it was freaking filled with posters of girls using their barehands to cover their boobs!! and bikinis..talk about pervs who stayed in the room man..but anyway, I decided to swap rooms with another fren(which I think his gf wasnt to happy about it >.<). We went to look for lunch..Luckily nearby there was a row of restaurants called Hawken Drive..we ate Jap...After that I went back to my room to sleep as I din want to be sleepy for the next day, my game was on the nxt day. Then there was the briefing to delegates followed by the welcoming barbeque dinner..Somehow the administration was a bit screwed up. The transport was in a mess, they kept changing the times, the toilets had NO hot water!! We are smacked right in the middle of winter and they expect us to bathe with cold water? Gila ka??? We didnt stay long after the bbq, felt it wasnt important and we rather spend our time on bridge and poker..lol.. We slept about 12 that night....
.
Day 2 : The big day...competition day..My alarm was set at 6am but guess wat..at 5.45am, my team captain Tasha called me..Tasha: WAKEY WAKEY!!!...zzz..got ready and went to eat, then headed to the track where I witness team Queensland sweeping so many athletics categories..The bus left at 8 and went to the Brisbane Girls Grammar School where the basketball and badminton were held. Mens singles was up 1st.
Game on....
Match 1: Victoria vs Queensland..

Won straight sets...cant remember the score though...
.
Match 2 : Victoria vs Australian Central Territory
.
I dont exactly have a picture of the game but I do have a video..I was winning 6-1 in the 1st game before the poor guy tripped and fell spraining his ankle...He had to concede a walkover...

Match 3 : Victoria vs New South Wales
This joker ask me to play a friendly match in a competition..haha..Although I relaxed more I found myself making a lot of mistakes in the 2nd game. Won straight sets too..

Haha...by now u think wat man...so many camwhore pictures...not I take wan la..but I like it..hehe..
.
.
Match 4: Victoria vs Western Australia
This guy had also won his 3 games before facing me. So it was actually down to this game to decide who wins the competition..he was good man...I lost the 1st game, and I started to tense up, mistakes happened alot and I started to feel the effects of fatigue. Then Sinyu came and gave me pointers..His advice was really very good and I quickly overturned the game around in game 2. I lost 16-21 followed by winning 21-8(I think). It was down to the rubber set. The WA dude was quite tired and I was lucky bcos ACT guy managed to play him down 3 sets but conceded a walkover to me so technically I played 1 less game. Then he started to get muscle pulls and it was a pity he wasnt in top fitness, otherwise it would have been a great final match. I won the rubber 21-5, thus winning MASCA badminton.

This was my final shot..love it...hehe..nice....Wai Kit is in the background leaning against the wall..
(I was up in the air and he wasnt looking at me??? -_____-"..lol)
.
Sinyu and Nick won the mens doubles easily, there wasnt really any competition considering both of them can trash me easily..Tasha and Nick oso won the mixed doubles while the womens doubles managed a bronze...
By the time badminton was over it was adi dark.. I rushed back as I was going to meet Rachel for dinner(Rachel Mok, not Rachel Chua..haha...why would my sister be in Brisbane >.<)... . Met her at Hawken before going to the city and we ate at Pancake Manor which actually really is Pancake Parlour in Melbourne..oh well, not that I eat Pancake Parlour alot anyway..I ate some Mexican crepe but unfortunately due to the lack of cameras I didnt manage to take any pictures of the food :( We had insane conversations from sheeps and shepherds, dreams, relationships all the way till movies and korean dramas..so now another souls knows the romantic comedy addict side of me..WAT??? its normal ok....I think..reached back before midnight and considering the long day I had..it was back to zzzz..oh btw, bcos of the lack of hot water, I actually bathe at the place I played badminton, but then after the hassle only they told me there was hot water at UQ now..damn it...too much!!!.. . .
.
Day 3: Another long day...this time, I'm going Gold coast to go Movie World!!! Its about an hour away and had to take buses and trains to get there...not to mention the silent killer of its cost...
In the train there with Nick and Sinyu

Dunno wat the heck is Tai Jia doing...this self proclaim cute guy is only 5 ft 3 :P :P

Nick, Sinyu, Wai Kit, Shao Dong and me..This is upon arrival at MW.
And get wat was the 1st attraction we saw..none other than the Superman Escape...

chun rite!!!..haha...this ride goes from 0-100 in 2 secs..got 4.2 geforce and -1 geforce. look at that fall!! I went on Lethal Weapon 3 times which was also very exhilirating but this was better...and one 4D show on Shrek. The queue was long as expected and we only managed to ride it once.

Of course there was those other costumed people parading around, I mean that's MW, its meant to be like that..
.
.
We rushed like mad people back to UQ as the last bus to the Masquerade Ball was 5.30. We actually were planning to take a cab as we were really late but thank God we are all Malaysians..and wat happens when we are Malaysians??? Yes..we are never on time..By the time we were ready to go the 1st bus which was suppose to leave at 5.15 hasnt even left, and it was 6.25!!.
When we finally arrived at the Greek Club. Like all masquerade balls no entry unmasked so I bought a Batman mask from MV and completely sliced of the top with a scissors juz for the sake of entering the ball. I never put it on again after that...lol..the ball started 2 hours after scheduled man...talk about late...

Us in our masks...guess who is who..lol...I bet u can guess who is the shortest...hehehe..I'm so evil..I had my moment of fame when I was called on stage to be presented the medal for winning in badminton...the cheers from team Victoria was so cool...

The badminton gang at the ball. From left standing: Sinyu, Cadance. Nick, Tasha and me
Supporters squatting down: Shao Dong, Tai Jia and Wai Kit..
Look we all had medals...hehe...
After the ball we headed back and had a shower before our long session of heart attack(the card game..not really heart attack!!) It was so fun we laughed the whole time
.
.
Day 4 : Its the final day..due to the lack of sleep, I skipped breakfast in favour of sleeping overtime but had to check out by 9am. We headed to the city and I had my last glimpse of a pretty girl I saw at the conference before leaving. I din have the guts to walk up and talk to her though...haha..thought it was a useless thing to do...wakakaka..pretty girls to see only, don have to know wan...hahah...When we reached the city we wonderred around aimlessly.

Clockwise : Wai Kit, Shao Dong, Me, Sinyu, Rafiq(Tasha's bf), Tasha and Nick

This pic damn funny..suppose to be my hand creating a ball of fire while Tai Jia tries to block the tong that is keeping the fire burning..somehow it fails miserably...Then we tried to enter the casino to have a look...sadly, they only accept passport or Australian drivers license..so a few of us could not enter...these 2 trying to make it look as if the lost all their money..haha....
I met up with Rachel again after that for lunch..she brought me to some chinese restaurant that gets a CCM discount..tasted good and cheap as well...then we had gelato at gelatissimo..the belgian chocolate was good, girls call it sinful, I dont care....lol, juz eat...
.
We took the opportunity to ride the ferry back to campus..I must say, that is the most stable boat ride I've ever been on, its almost like walking on a non-moving vehicle...it doesnt get rocked at all!!!

Engineers please tell me how this design makes it so stable???
In the ferry, from left: Rafiq, me, Wai Kit, Rachel(who obviously isn't looking at the camera..lol), Tai Jia, Shao Dong(is he hiding??his face has been covered 80% wat the heck..) some unknown girl, and Tasha..

Upon arrival at UQ stop...

Since we had so much time, Rachel walked us to this park where it looks so much better than our south lawn in Melbourne Uni..*grin* the grass is so flat it can even be a soccer field...

And then started with our jumps...Wai Kit actually jumped higher than me!!!

And bid farewell to Rachel..hehe..thanks for ur company Rachel..will be glad to bring u around Melbourne :)
.
.
Wah..this post certainly took a long time...but thats all my trip to Brisbane, cos we headed to the airport and back to Melbourne after this.
.
.
Brisbane certainly has its better side..especially its weather..I get to wear t-shirt in the afternoon!!! on a winter season!!!..lol

June 17 again...

2008-06-22T01:07:00.005+10:00

Ok, this is way way overdue, but then u cant blame me right, I mean with exams and all how to put up a birthday post...lol..

If u refer back to the same post last year, the date June 17 is meant for the smart ppl, somehow those born on this particular date have to be smart wan...or at least I know 3 ppl with the birth date of 17 June.
.
.
1st we have the twins....haih..I havent seen them since they left for UK...We use to hang out together quite often...particularly when it approached exam dates haha...I would just study near them so I'd get a chance to ask them something which I didnt understand...Why u say they so smart? 1 get highest in Msia for A-Lvl results, the other get best in the world for further maths (which I failed -_____-"). Liddat how to say not smart?? I just got news that they will be going back to Msia in their summer break...which means its my winter and I have too short a time to go back...so means not gonna see them another yr..unless they come Melbourne la...hehe...Anyway, in view that our friendship has started since primary 1, thats 15 yrs ago, its been a blessing to me to be acknowledged by these future scientists as a friend..I have a strong feeling our friendship will last till I lay on my coffin bed...Sadly though, I don't have any pictures of them bcos I havent met them at all...
.
.
but I did find a few funny links...hehe..
The twins plus their sister...lol
.
.
There also a whole lot of things on them if u just search up google for their names..U seach Jonathan Chua on google and u get an author who wrote some crap which I don't understand
-_____-"
.
.
Cheers to them!!!
.
.
.
Next smart person ar, hahaha, proud to introduce the brains behind my revision, Melissa Seow....lol...Since the twins are not here, and they are taking a different course, I cant leech of them adi...However, I found a new smart person which I can leech of..hehe (epifitly not parasitly!!).
.
Beautiful, smart, trendy, good fashion sense, encourager, and errrr dowan to puji too banyak!!!
Well other than being a close friend to me, she can really be an open ear to problems and its been great for us to be able to share our spiritual journey as well. I can really be open with her about Christianity without having the paiseh feeling talking to some believers. Blessed with an annoited voice, she uses this talent given by God to reach out to others through leading worship in her church. I guess that I was really touched when she sang a solo at her church opening. I've been wanting to get the video of that song but to no avail...haih...
.
.
Most of the time when exam of assignment dateline approaches and I bug her the night b4 trying to sort things out...hehe..dun angry ok Mel.... :P but with her help she enabled me to understand complicated concepts and I'm really grateful for that..
.
.
So since she is in Melbourne, we got to celebrate her birthday with dinner and karaoke!! which was 4 days after her actual birthday..hahaha...

Dinner at ying thai...Wat Tan Hor, Fried Rice and Pad Thai...

The gang that ate dinner..Jun, Me, Pei Xian and Mel

After that we headed to karaoke..free Mel concert wor...who dowan go?? Actually it wasnt free la, still need to pay for karaoke -.-

Lets detour from our focus of Mel...Walao...I must have been singing a girls part le...like so strecth wan my face juz to sing...

Then Sheryl came to surprise Mel with a cake. Wah another singer come liao..At this point I felt I can sau pei adi la...no need to sing adi, watch them sing only...lol

Square tiramisu cake!! Ok la, it was round, but the box flatten the sides... :(

I wish I can give Jonathan a better birthday party than this wan.... wooooohooooooo..nice nice...

Mel and her Chocolate card!!! The presents that she received was a chocolate handmade card from Jun Wey..cool idea..sincere from the heart, home made cookies from Pei Xian, took her some time juz to make the delicious chocolate cookies, in fact it took her the whole afternoon...sincerity ^ 100, cost of time spend was worth it for Mel, and a book from me, bought from Borders, time spent minimum, home made effort zero...haih...noob....

Happy Birthday Mel, its the big TWO-ZERO..

Mineral water USED to cost more than petrol..
Lets make some simple calculations:
.
.
Australia average salary per hour = AUD15 = RM45 (FX AUD1=RM3)
Malaysia average salary per hour = RM5 (this is adi higher then McD or Kenny Rogers!!)
.
.
ratio of petrol per litre to 8 hrs working day: -
in Aus : AUD1.35 x 3 / RM45 x 8 = 0.01125
in Mas (used to be) : 1.92 / RM5 x 8 = 0.048
can u see the difference? how much of petrol is worth in a typical aussie dude compared to a typical Malaysian dude..ok u may argue that I'm taking a very low wage rate in Malaysia but even if i double the wage, the ratio would be 0.024 which is still significantly higher than in Australia...
.
.
Now, the new ratio in Mas : 2.70 / RM40 = 0.0675
.
0.0675!!! compared to a 0.01125!!!...we can start walking in Malaysia adi....thx to the petrol hike, now transportation cost gonna go up...and then EVERYTHING goes up...GG!!! I'm gonna invent a machine that can make us drink water and pee petrol....

I got this off a friends facebook super wall..

Girl: What's wrong?
Boy: I like her so much...
Girl: Talk to her!
Boy: I don't know. She won't ever like me.
Girl: Don't say that.You're amazing.
Boy: I just want her to know how I feel.
Girl: Then tell her.
Boy: She won't like me...
Girl: How do you know that?
Boy: I can just tell.
Girl: Well just tell her.
Boy: What should I say?
Girl: Tell her how much you like her!
Boy: I tell her that daily.
Girl: What do you mean?
Boy: I'm always with her. I love her.
Girl: I know how you feel. I have the same problem. But he'll never like me??BR
Boy: Wait. Who do you like?
Girl: Oh some boy.
Boy: Oh... she won't like me either.
Girl: She does.
Boy: How do you know..?
Girl: Because, who wouldn't like you?
Boy: You.
Girl: You're wrong, I love you.
Boy: I love you too.
Girl: So are you going to talk to her?
Boy: I just did.

Rebuking..

2008-06-01T22:36:00.002+10:00

I remember once Jason told me not to say the words "I no money".
Cos if u do, u are actually cursing yourself as God might have wanted to bless u financially but u keep saying I NO MONEY hindering that blessing from reaching u. So when you feel u are financially tight and cant afford to spend on useless items then say, "I am GOING to be blessed financially but not yet." Why do I suddenly talk about this?
.
.
Ok, I went to the city yesterday to watch What Happens in Vegas with Ida and her frens (whom were a couple we so lamp-posted). [thx Dorcas for the ffk...really appreciate it :( ] Ok so we were there quite early and decided to do some shopping...or the better term would be window shopping (haih..ppl nowadays ar, indulge in looking at things they wont buy..wat man). Most of the time people window shop bcos they do not have the money so the usual conversation props up.
.
.
Ida: Aiya, cannot buy la. I no money
Me: U noe Jason say don't say that, not good, say I haven't been blessed financially YET (technically this is also not appropriate as I'm sure at one point u were fully blessed by God financially).Then I explained the story as above ^^
Ida: Hmm...so we should say I am GOING to be blessed financially by God (now why didn't I think of that)
Me: yea yea..dats right..
.
.
Later on, we were waiting for the couple to arrive while sitting down nxt to the cinema. All of a sudden, this guy just come up to me and says,
.
Some Guy (SG): Hey, u 2 wanna watch a movie.
Me: errrrr (who is this fella is he trying to sell us tickets?)
SG: Yea, its 2 tickets, it expires today after 5, I'm just going to give it to u, bcos I have no time to watch.
At this point we were quite blur before I finally realised..
Me: Yea sure...thx man..
SG: No problem, bye...
.
.
Seconds later...
Ida: Wah, faster check check can use anot
Me: That was weird..but cool..
Ida: Hey, it really does work...saying I'm GONNA be blessed financially..now we don't have to pay for our movie tickets..
Me: Yea, it does work...but don't be too happy, lets see if we can use it 1st..
.
.
After examining it,
Me: Oops no..we cant use it..
Ida: why why why why?
Me: The ticket is for Village cinemas, we're at hoyts...
Ida: Aaahhh..say too fast adi.( she checks her phone and the nxt movie at village is at 5.10, means expired ticket!!)
Me: haha..well it almost worked, so keep saying it!!!
.
.
Joy, followed by despair.. we still got tickets at a cheaper rate though, cos her fren had the ticket vouchers..but I rather looked at it as 10 dollars spent than 10 dollars we COULD have saved..

Bradley Brown just got engaged....Well congrats Brad, I'm really happy that u have found your soulmate..

Brad is 22!!! He just went totally opposite towards the survey I made in the last post....His relationship with his fiancee started about a yr ago I think...Guys who said 28 years is ideal and date for at least 2 years, we have an outstanding one. Perhaps this changes the statistics completely..

Wait a minute, Brad is an outlier, I don't care, the stats stay the same >.<"

Wedding bells..

2008-05-24T23:47:00.003+10:00

Ok, so Ruth and Phil (people I noe from church) juz had their wedding today..well I think it was a beautiful location cos there was a view of a man lade lake, quiet little place out of the city but a little too far..lol..
There was a total of 240 guests there. Pastors from Hope churches all over Australia came to witness such an event. They actually flew all the way here...well it does help if the groom was originally from Brisbane. :)

Anyway, of course we didn't have lots of time to talk to the bride and groom so we just interacted among ourselves. Since it is a wedding, there was a lot of discussion about weddings and to my surprise I actually learnt something new today.

Question 1: Do u feel like getting married after witnessing a wedding?
Males: No...doesn't make a difference
Females: Yea...it is so nice >.<"
.
Ok btw pls note that the opinions by males and females are just an assumed average based on the people I 'interviewed'. They may not represent the whole gender of the world but it was quite a significant majority of the sample gender present at the wedding(too much quantitative methods).
.
.
Question 2: How long should the courtship be before getting married?
Males: 2-3 yrs
Females: 1-1.5 yrs
.
Question 3: What is your ideal age of getting married?
Males: 27-28
Females: 23-25!!!
.
.
wat the....23-25? so early? Ida argued that it is better to give birth before the age of 30 so that your child will be smart, I say that is all bullshit!! But then again, my mum gave birth to me when she was 33 and look where it got me in terms of stupidity.. sigh...
.
ok so conclusion for the guys (since I'm a guy, I'm helping my gender). Date a girl 5 years younger than u. When u are 28, they are 23, perfect!! Get to know a girl 1.5 yrs before starting to date them, in which during this time treat her as your gf BUT making it non-official. Then officially date her for 1.5 yrs. This would suit ur criteria for 3 yrs and theirs for 1.5 yrs, perfect!! Last, make sure u bring them to a wedding before proposing. Even though it doesn't affect us, the women will be so heavily influenced, ur proposal is fool proof!! Perfect, I'm a genius!!!...
.
.
At one point waiting for the appearance of the bride, my sis noticed Phil being a little to anxious...
Sis: eh u see Phil, so anxious, nxt time u also will be like that, waiting for bride to appear.
Me: hmm..I dont think so, u see he's talking to the best man, we don't have to be anxious, just like talk to ur frens maybe ask them "eh, later tonight lets go out have a drink man"
Sis: What? are u crazy, its the wedding night la, they suppose to....(she couldn't finish the sentence)
Me thinking to myself, WAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!!!!!!

'Healer' Planetshakers

2008-05-11T18:56:00.001+10:00

Just for YOU to hear...

Mike Guglielmucci

2008-05-11T18:12:00.005+10:00

*Update - I found out today that the whole story of Mike was a hoax...Its sad really because the song was such an inspiration to others...I feel sad for the people who gained such hope just by watching Mike. However, I still like to say that I still believe that God is our healer and despite circumstances on how this song was made, the lyrics to it are still true..

Ok, so I copied and pasted his name cos I juz couldn't spell it..lol
Who is Mike Guglielmucci? Whats his story? What so great? Well, I cant say I've got my facts right but it took me a while and reading various blogs as well as heard from people.
Mike is a youth pastor at Planetshakers Church in Melbourne City. He is also the bass guitar player of the team. In his mid 20's Mike was diagnosed with a blood disease around mid year 2006. It was a stage 3 terminal cancer disease. It struck him pretty bad, as at one point there was about 30 bones broken and fractured in his body due to the disease. Back pain, joint pains, wat pain oso got la. At that time based on statistics, the doctor told him he could live another 3.5 weeks.
.
.
What would u do? Lets say now I tell u, u had only 3.5 weeks to live. What would u do? Sulk at home? Go out and enjoy it all despite the inconvenience of moving around? Spend it all on frens, family, loved ones?

Well, here's what Mike did. He praised, praised and continue to praise God. He prayed, he worshipped, he continue to work for God. And he prayed for healing, kept going, got people to pray for him. He believed God put him in the world to lead a generation towards Christ and if it was God's will to take him away at such a young age, he let it be, and not let it deter him from continuing his work. At that moment he wrote 2 songs, Oh Praise Him and Healer. The latter song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Complete with the tune, lyrics and inspiration behind the song, it can really touch someone. Just hearing it will sooth yourself but listening and meaning what u sing in the lyrics, it makes me tear everytime. A brilliant song which is God inspired!

Healer - Planetshakers, written by Mike Guglielmucci

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You’re my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You’re my Portion
I believe You’re more than enough for me
Jesus You’re all I need

My Healer, You’re my Healer

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
You hold my world in Your hands

Dont just look at the lyrics, listen to the song!!!
.

As of today nearly 2 years later, Mike is still alive. Defying logic, science, nature, thats what God's power can do, from 3.5 weeks, nearly 2 years and he still is alive and will continue to be because many believe his time isn't up yet. Able to testify and share his experience over these 2 years, it trully is a miracle. Taken from his My space page,

“HEY GUYS!!!! INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!! THE HEALING PROCESS HAS BEGUN!!!! TODAY I WENT TO JOHN WESLEYS CHAPEL IN BRISTOL. AS I STOOD IN WESLEYS PULPIT GODS POWER TOUCHED MY BODY!!!! TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT. I LEFT MY WHEELCHAIR THERE!!!! MY BACK IS HEALED, MY HIPS ARE HEALED, MY LEGS ARE HEALED!!!! I STILL HAVE PAIN IN MY UPPER BODY BUT IT HAS STARTED!!!! PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE KING OF ALL KINGS!!!! MY SAVIOUR, MY PORTION, MY FREEDOM, MY HEALER!!!!!”

Amazing isn't it? Glory to God...

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!!!

Journeying down memory lane of all our times in library, we hanging out at 'good evening' after class, u driving my car while I eat my 'good evening'...lol..and how we got thrashed by Mr.Suresh's team in futsal. Oh, how we taunted Mr Suresh and his Liverpool ...hehe ...you'll never walk again...wakaka, still puts a smile on my face. The times where we compared jonjon and simsim on fantasy football, no doubt jonjon still triumphed...muahahah...
.
.

Of new housemate and lecturer...

2008-04-21T15:00:00.004+10:00

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....

2008-04-05T03:58:00.002+11:00

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!!

Devotion..

2008-03-30T02:15:00.003+11:00

Its a late Saturday night and I know that I have to get up early for church tmr, followed by a hectic evening in uni. Sometimes ppl frown and sigh when they have to give up their beauty sleep juz to attend church early the next morning. Its like going to church is a routine which they complete for the sake of their pre-planned day.
.
.
.
I remember somewhere last year when I decided to follow a few frens to AOG in Richmond. Going there I had to take a train, then a tram to the church. In total I spent 2 hours on travelling when the sermon was 2 hours. But when I went up the tram, there was this old man about late eighties probably in his nineties as well. He had trouble getting up the tram so my frens helped him out. Due to his age, he looked immobile and had a lot of difficulty moving around. In my mind I was thinking like 'ah pak, dun walk walk around ok, good good go home and sit down watch tv better'.
.
.
Then when we reached the church, the old man got down as well. It seems he was heading towards the church. Ok, an old man trying to get to church, wat so new about that. Well if u could have seen how he walks and the time he took to sip his hot chocolate after the sermon I think you would oso think he is a one of a kind. He left when we got our coffee. 10 mins later, we left the place to head back home. Before reaching the tram we saw that same old man walking towards the tram stop. Again, my kind hearted frens helped him up the tram. Then seeing we've adi helped him twice he decided to talk to us. He took deep breaths saying out each word carefully while we took our time to listen.
.
.
This man went to church in the morning, went home, take a short nap and head to church again(cos there was a special event that night) But the way I look at him he travelled way more than the time it took for the church service itself. This is an example of a man who loves God so much, he would go the distance juz to worship and praise Him. And he doesn't do it once but twice!!
.
.
Would you be that devoted when u are in ur golden years? Would u travel so far juz to attend church? People like this put a smile on my face :)

Shit Happens..

2008-03-19T12:16:00.003+11:00

Have u ever heard the term called shit happens? I'm sure u have right, I certainly did. In fact I've made a post titled hhit sappens before, and I have a blog catergory called shit happens..

Now lets talk about shit happens. Usually in general people say shit happens because sometimes in life, we frequently encounter dumb stuff that happen out of nowhere for no reason putting us in a predicament. Like when u are walking, u trip on a banana skin falling flat on ur face, or juz when u are about to save ur work on ur computer, suddenly the electric line cuts off and theres a blackout, completely auto-recycle bin/auto empty-recycle bin ur work (LOL)..Thats called shit happens.

Lets put a more general situation with the context of shit. You walk along the road side and u step on animal faeces. Maybe even human faeces(-__-"). Or enjoying your hot day under the shade of a tree, and this bird up there shits down on u. Yea, that's shit happens with context of shit.

Let me tell u, Jonathan Chua's version of shit happen. It does! why? cos u eat and ur body absorbs the nutrients leaving behind the shit. Shit is happening. So wat so great about it u say? Well my body produces shit in a shit happening time!...

Case 1: I was about to board the plane to Sydney in January before flying back to Malaysia. I arrived about 45 mins before take off, and guess wat, I got a stomach ache bcos shit was happening. Unable to take the pain, I rushed to the toilet to ease myself coming out 5 mins after latest check in. Luckily the line was long and they accomodated for a few or those that were about to fly in half an hour. Close call, but this is what I call shit happens!! Shit happening at a shit happens time...

Case 2: Moomba water fest..Yeap, I was eager to go see the fireworks cos I missed it last year. I went there about 7.30 pm, and the fireworks were only due to start 2 hours later. So I juz hang around with the OCF gang. After a while, it struck me..shit happens!!! Once again I get the stomach ache. But it was only 9 and there was no place to go since it down along the Yarra River. The thought of going to one of those portable cubicles didn't please me. So I held on, and cold sweat started to come out. Finally at 9.25pm I couldn't take it anymore, the pain was unbearable. I din care about the portable cubicle anymore, I juz went in. Surprisingly it was rather clean. But halfway thru, I heard the bang sounds and I knew the fireworks have started. I came out watching only half of it -__-". Once again shit happened at a shit happens time...

Case 3: Smart me, went to tapao food last night. But smart me, left the key at home, and my housemate went out for squash. He wont be back for a least another hour and half. So wat can I do? Juz sit at the stairs there and eat my tapao food while reading the Reader's Digest that came in the mail. Happily eating my SPICY char kuay teow, I began streaming videos on my phone. Yeap and guess what happened?????come on, its not a million dollar question, quick guess wat happened? Lol, even a retarded person can tell me that shit happened lar. Stomach ache again, at at shit happen time!!!!! I was locked out of the house!!!! The toilet is less than 10m away, behind the door!!! I couldn't take it, I put down my food, ran over to Monash Caulfield to do my business. Thanks Monash!! Hahaha...well, so that concludes my episodes that shit really does happen...

Despite talking about shit, I'm still hungry....ciaoz

18 March again....

2008-03-19T07:12:00.007+11:00

Lol, putting the again makes this blog feel old, without realising that it haas been more than a year since I started this blog. I am now blogging at 7.15am, cos u noe why? I thought there's a champion's league match on tonight cos they beat Lyon 2 weeks ago, but NO the match is only on April 1st...stupid assumption!!!
.
.
Anyway, putting that aside...I noe I'm one day late for this birthday post, but I was caught up with assignment (serious la!..ok la abit la..lol).
Lol...look at this!!! Wah this was ages ago...but an unforgetable visit to Old Trafford..Look at her flat hair!!! wahahaha...Knowing a person all your life sometimes has its benefits. When I was young, I used to think that I'm always fighting with my sister and therefore we did not have good sibling relationship. But I've heard so many WORSE OFF stories and I can count my lucky stars that my family actually developed strong bonds with each other since our birth. Probably my parents saw the importance in that. When I attended her graduation last year, I began to ponder, wah, it has been a looooooong looooooooooooong growing up process and past her student life, she enters into the working era which I personally dont like.. :P Anyway, theres still much more to go, much more to bond, much more to learn and experience with ur noobie brother! hehe..happy 23rd Birthday Sis! (PS: I havent bought ur present, later only find la :P)
.
.
.
.
.
.

Its a significant date if someone has their bday the same as ur sibling..why u say? Well obviously when u remember ur sibling's bday, u are sure to remember that someone's bday as well...wakaka...This was before she left for UK 1st time, she's nxt to me btw and that was so wayyyyy back..I miss her, I really do, she is one of my closest frens in college, and also the closest to stay near my hse. How I remember all those bored days we had and decided to juz jump to Mid Valley and catch a movie..haha..I still do catch her online sometimes, but I guess her course is really really taxing that she is too busy all the time. Plus UK time totally sux with Aussie time, its so opposite!! I sleep u wake up, u sleep I wake up....hahaha...
Li Hsien, ni hao ma? Zai UK fun ma?(damn my chinese sux -___-"). Ni Xiang Nian wo ma? Wo hen xiang nian ni, Shen Ri Kuai Le!!!!
.

Happy Birthday Pweegy, may u be abudantly blessed this year!! ^0^

Closing of the concert with Dare You To Move...This was the crowd favourite and it was well performed...

Working life..

2008-03-04T17:30:00.015+11:00

Yea, one of the reasons why I liked the company was cos there was frequent outstation visits when the company needed to attend meetings and 'attack' companies which owe banks money..lol..
.
.
This particular one was going to Melaka for a company called Pulau Kembar, not that the meeting was interesting, but the dinner and clubbing was...wakakaka...
At the dinner table with the girls...The team at the meeting..
We had chicken rice ball after that, and this was taken...

Somehow I don't feel the authorit of being king..wats wrong???I'm on the throne wat!!!
Lol!!!!!!then my sunglasses was taken away from me...for this!!!
Everyone agree she doesn't look good in it as I did? :P
Oh btw, I missed out the clubbing picture...

Back to Study...

2008-03-04T16:47:00.011+11:00

I've never actually had homesickness...maybe its cos Melbourne is so Asianized that I feel I never even left home..ocassionally I do miss the food...Oh, well, another 9 months before my nxt trip home...
.
Now I noe there is so much to update..but I've gotten into the lazy to update blog mood..anyway, I'll juz do wat I can since, my computer is transfering songs into my phone...
.
.
Oh btw, cny was normal this year, nothing great...
I went back on the 10th of January, started work on the 15th of Jan (no time to enjoy...zzz)..worked my ass of till Feb 29th..lol..So I did meet up with many frens, although short, but memorable, and brings back memories from the past...
.
.
I worked at Ferrier Hodgson, to be honest, I really like that place, bcos the staff are so relaxed and they joke around..its not like working in a dead office where everyone is so serious. Not to mention, that any food placed out in the open, its finished within 2 hrs...wahahaha..

Dats Fiza on the left, and Yuliana on the right..They were both interns when I entered the firm..We shared work, and discussed many things(non-related to work :P). But then these two peet(cantonese word) the place after the end of Jan as one heads for Perth and the other heads home to Indo...Fuush..u have no blady idea how much work was thrown to me after these 2 left..haih....

I'll be returning to Australia soon..its monday and my final day of work is on Friday..leaving for Aus on Sunday..there's lots to update, lots of photos to post, lots of crap and events to attend to, but sidetrack from that, lets juz talk about last Saturday.

I went to Malacca on Friday night after work, bcos there was a purchasers meeting the following day, nothing much about the meeting, but after having some chicken rice ball I reached my hse at about 5.30 pm, got changed and quickly left the hse and headed to Stadium Merdeka..

At 6.15 pm, I entered the stadium, and was adi standing in the only rock area of the whole stadium(not that I wanted to, but there were no tickets left!!) Yes, by now u shud know that I had to stand for about 5 hrs till 11pm...

By 7 I was adi feeling the stench of sweat and BO, but I juz beared with it..8 pm arrived and now the stadium was 9/10 full...ppl were adi screaming even though he has not appeared..

Sharp 8.15 pm, fog rised on the stage, the whole stadium blew into a freaking frenzy with ppl shouting thier lungs out. and he made his grand appearance in a peacock-suit(looked like one to me). I din noe the 1st song, which made me wonder, am I that big of a fan until his entrance song I din noe?

Worthy to be called a fan, I knew the name of almost every song he sang after that..He serenaded the fans with many of his hits. Ting Mama De Hua, Hei Se You Mo, Bu Neng Shuo De Mimi, Qian Li Zhi Wai all were well performed...

Sounds good rite? Now the bad parts....HE FREAKIN DIN SING 2 OF MY FAV SONGS!!! WHY!!!! WHY!!!! WHY!!!!...He sang 7 out of 10 songs from his new album, BUT HE DIN SING WO BU PEI OR EVEN PU GONG YU DE YUE DING..The best 2 songs from his new album was left out..damn!!! And he din even sing Qing Tian or Feng..haihz..nxt, STADIUM MERDEKA SUX!!!

It was too big a crowd, that the speakers were only in front, and by the time the sound reached the back, it wasn't as rock as it was suppose to be..haihz..

However, it wasn't as lousy at the worst possible scenario..There was a surprise by Nan Quan Mama..they were also good...and he showed of how versatile he was by playing 4 instruments..guitar, drums, old chinese piano, and the piano. On top of that, he performed the Piano battle with Yu Hao exactly like it was in th movie..That was probably the most impressing of the evening. And of course he din miss out on An Jing with the piano which is one of his best classics..

Overall, not a good way to start at a Jay Chou concert, but if there's a chance to see another concert with hopefully better sound system and picking my favourite songs, I'd jump at the chance..hehe..Jay rawks...oh btw, I blew RM168..and according to the star, there was a 20,000 crowd..he must be loaded la...

Hungry...ciaoz..

BE PATIENT!!

2008-02-07T04:25:00.000+11:00

Ok, yes I've not blogged for a very long time now..as in really really long..maybe I've lost the interest in blogging, or maybe theres nothing much in my life now to update..
Every week mostly its a routine since I'm working...I do like the work though, it has a great environment which i can laugh all day at...the colleagues are juz soooo funny!!
.
.
Ok it has been past January...I arrived back on the 10th...with much delight :)

Lately I've been experiencing a lot of gambling...since I'm off age in Australia, I've been to Crown...and since coming back, I actually managed to sneak into Gentings casino ^^ (thx to working clothes and acting like I'm talking business with my parents)
.

Play to have fun, dun play to win!!! Although its not fun losing either :(

December 25th

2007-12-25T08:37:00.000+11:00

Ok,yes I have not updated my blog for about a month, and many things has happen during the holidays..for example, my parents came to Australia and had their holiday here and also attend my sis convocation..
.
We went to many places in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra and had many exciting(as well as boring) trips around. I think I ate a lot when they were here(they juz left on the 22nd), might have packed on a few kilos..
.
But anyway, its not about updating wat I have done over the last one month but its a birthday post.
.
Whose birthday u say? Well technically I dunno anybody who has their birthday on Christmas Day so this birthday post is actually dedicated to Jesus Christ..
.
To my Christian friends : Yes, its that time of the year again where we get PRESENTS!! Well, I remember I used to get alot when i was little, and they were toys, games, more toys, but now all I get are clothes and books. I noe wat it signifies, I'm getting old adi, time to apply for senior citizen concession. But lets put aside the presents this year and remember the ONE that was born on this day which 30plus years later(I cant believe I dont noe how old Jesus was when He died, I think its 33 rite? anybody correct me?) he would stretch out His hands, crucified on the cross and took the sins of the world with Him. He's our best Christmas present, and we can never get any present better than this. Glorify Him today, we noe we want to :) (of course glorify Him everyday as well la)
.
.
To my non-Christian frens : Yea, its that time of the year again where u get to see Christmas trees and here Christmas Carols which can be very soothing especially when u feel down. So juz sit back enjoy the calm, peaceful and quiet auspicious day...not like u can do much anyway, almost every shop is closed...hehe...
.
.
.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Post Exam Post (2)

2007-11-26T00:34:00.001+11:00

So now I finally found the time to update my blog. The following day after my exam we adi headed on to Wilson's Prom for a retreat, it was a deserved holiday after such a long exam stress..and it was cheap too!...
.
.
Day 1:
We left really early in the morning. About 6am...so then starts our road trip...then we headed to our accomodation place to unload some stuff b4 going to the beach...Highlight of the beach activity was Jason's sabo...wahaha...it was so well planned I'm so happy it when accordingly and the look on his face shows he wasn't expecting it. Went hiking and reached squeaky beach. Why squeaky beach u say? That's cos the beach make squeaky noises when u walk on it..hehe...I slept around 2am that night and got up around 4am cos IT WAS FREAKING FREEZING, and all I had was my jacket...However, we were still expected to wake up by 5am the nxt morning to see the sun rise
.
Day 2:
Ok, the day starts with the sunrise... After some devotion, and breakfast we had one last game b4 heading home.....
.
.
Ok, I noe my trip has been awfully cut short in details but I juz wanna get into the pictures ASAP.
.

A view on the way there...

This was taken while hiking to squeaky beach..i like the water, it so calm...

A view of squeaky beach, I think it has something to do with the dry layer of sand that causes the squealy sounds. Can u see the beam of sunlight? Its like God shining on a certain something..quick look wat isit!!!...

No, it wasn't shining on this. This is juz a dead jellyfish...

At 5am, we gila ppl were adi waiting for the sun to rise...Check out the colour of this pic...

Aah...the sun about to come out..This is about after 45 mins of waiting

Finally after a long wait, the sun comes out!!! Beautiful isn't it..God's creation...

20 seconds later, its adi like this -____-"
.
.
Yea, it really is a sight that take your breath away....Anyway, I've been saving money!! GOOD...cos I am anticipating overspending during the nxt few days of holidays...hehe...
.
.
Till then, I'm not hungry...ciaoz

.
.
Now, exams 1st...yes....so its over, and I'm finally freeeeeee....Talking about exams...it was fine, maybe cos this time I actually took the initiative to start studying early.....but then honestly, I don't think H1's are within my reach....
.
.

Bcos right, my that hou pang yao Chia Pei Xian leaves Aussie in 2 days(dat time la, now gone adi). I dunno why she always leave so fast...left me here with one less fren to accompany during the holidays...In a few weeks, Mel oso leaving...haih...

October 23rd

2007-10-24T01:12:00.000+10:00

Yeap, when u see a date as a title..u noe its a bday post...
.
.
On the topic of long time pang yao's!!!
.
.
Oh, what a time to drift down memory lane and remember all those frens, I bet most of u all think about secondary school frens(suddenly we feel old when we think of secondary), or back into primary school(are we really that old?).
.
But no, this time, the bday girl is one I've known since birth(I should apply for senior citizen concession la). Yea, exactly 21 days younger than me is Ms. Rabbit...bit...eh why rabbitbit and not juz rabbit wan....
.
.
Reminiscing all those days we had in Port Dickson..walao...so many holidays there le...every school break sure got some place to go one..
.
Joyce Tee Mei Hui, errr...she is the total opposite from her sister...talk alot wan...hahaha..jkjk...
Anyway, of course she is one of those who grew up knowing the cocky/action/too much/lebih/never think b4 speaking/insulting side of me but perhaps she grew into it...So over the years, we tolerate each other more...
.
Funny thing is the fondest memory I have is her getting pissed at a pillow fight, jumped on me, and bit 3 fingers on my right hand..she bit sooo hard, I swear she was going at it like chewing a tough beef meat. Ended up with 3 bleeding fingers...lol
.
.
Anyway, u noe God blesses you cos I'm sure u are happy with life as it is now. Nice frens, nice family, nice bf, nice sister to bully hor :PYup, curi from frenster oso....(those who are thinking, hmm...where have I seen her b4, refer back to 6th October post)....

HAPPY BURFDAY!!!!

Unsung Instrument..

2007-10-20T01:10:00.000+10:00

You know how people love the guitar or the piano...and there are superb soloist in both those instruments...
.
.
I'm talking musical instruments here..yea, u can see a lot of videos on youtube showing piano ballade pour ade(watever la...) or guitar playing superb plucking...
.
.
As a violinist(once was), I still remember I learnt violin because my mom said I had to learn violin before learning the guitar when I said I wanted to learn guitar...
.
.
Come to think of it, I think my mum wanted me to learn violin but then gave that lame excuse when I said I wanted to learn guitar..
.
After reachin grade 5 I stopped playing cos my interest in it wasn't that great and I wasted huge amounts of money getting that new violin, din bring it to Australia though..
.
But come to think of it, learning violin wasn't that bad either, and to me, its juz one of the most unsung hero in music.
.
No, I'm not talking classical music cos its rather obvious how important the violin is in an orchestra. But juz for example the song Canon in D was MADE for violin, u can play it on piano, and play it on guitar normal or rock style, its never gonna beat violin with its vibrato...
.
.
But back to normal pop music, many people don realise how important violin's harmonising is in the song...I think Jay Chou does..hehe.
.
Wanna hear? Go listen to An Jing(nice), Zui Hou De Zhan Yi(nice), Hei Se You Mo, Feng(nice), Ge Qian, Gui Ji, Kai Bu Liao Kou(very obvious), Long Juan Fong, Ye De Di Qi Zhang(the whole main minor notes are in violin) and hear the chorus, the great effect a violin brings!!
.
.
Maybe thats why I really like Jay's musics...not noticing that most of his nice songs contain violin....
.
Maybe picking up my violin again isn't such a bad idea, something to consider in the future.
.
(p/s: those with nice means the harmonising is superb if heard properly...appreciate it!!)
.
Not Hungry!!....ciaoz..

Just before I cut my hair...

2007-10-14T17:48:00.000+10:00

Have u all seen Secret? aka Bu neng shuo de mimi
Yes, Jay Chou....
I dunno why I kinda like his hair, so before I cut my hair....Jay Chou expression that tak jadi!!!! ...lol

Ok now that my internet connection is back up, I will finally blog this long awaited post, ok even if u weren't waiting for this post juz bear with me ok...I had quite an eventful birthday this year, particularly had 3 celebrations...

.
.
At 11.30pm on Oct 1st, my house traitor(Mr. Paul Hii) came into my room...
Paolo: Eh Jon, can u give me a hand and take the boxes to my car..
Jon: (Thinks in head, ok this is it, its sabo time, it has to be, cos those boxes were there like 4 months adi why move it now? But oh wth, I can't run anyway so lets juz get this over with) Errr....why dun ask renald?
Paolo: Bcos he is in HIS room...
Jon: Y ea sure..
.
Despite seeming quite confident a few ppl were out there, what I totally 4got was wat I was wearing at that time...Ok, to be honest I was expecting water or something liddat, I had no idea it would get messy!!!! I went out and took a peep behind the wall noticing Han Min, then he lunged with a pail of water...the rest is juz...haih....
.
.
For some reason, the video of this sabo was not exactly complete...There was hardly any video of the throwing but there was the after sabo video anyway so....

U can see Renald going yea!!!!...bugger....lol...Yea there was chocolate sauce, bbq sauce, flour, and a whole lot other stuff which I dunno..The stupid thing is I should have changed cause I went out with a freshly washed jeans juz worn for a day, and then it had to be washed again...haih....
.
.
While of course that much fun for them has to come with a payment as well...while I had my shower, the sabo ppl enjoyed themselves cleaning up the front door of my hse.....haha...
.
.
Those involved with the sabo : Jason Ng(mastermind), Mei Thambrin(I'm juz shooting video), Serene Ng(U all plan I sabo), Cheryl Woo(I think was only an onlooker), Jane Lok(said to be a neutral person watching however ppl said she did throw something), Shaun Rimos, Han Min(biggest attacker number 1 I suppose), Edward(biggest attacker number 2), Calvin Woon(plan tak jadi), and of course Rachel Chua(too much, own brother oso sabo)...
.
.
Cleaning up video...hahaha

And after a very very long bathe...

Err...u dunno who is this I think u all can go kill urself....

.
.
The following day was my actual birthday...I actually made plans on my birthday to go to the city to avoid any more special sabo so yea, I ran away...
.
I went to the city around 7 and I met up with Wei Xuan. She was the one to decide everything that day cos I decided wat to do on her birthday, but it turns out she had nothing planned after dinner...haha....nvm lo, city sure got lots of stuff to do wan....
.
We went to eat at Yoyogi...then after that we headed to Hoyts and watched a movie...The specialty of having my birthday on tuesday....is cheap movie tickets!!! muahaha...We watched Hairspray, and I think we both enjoyed it, it was a good movie...
Hehe..in the cinema....pretty hor :P
The movie ended late and Melbourne being the no night life city I headed straight home after that....
.
.
The same week on friday was another plan we had in mind for sometime...The club ~~experts~~ noobs went to Seven to experience clubbing...haha...it was certainly something new to Pei Xian and Jun Wey but anyway it all juz to see see only la...haha...At least we weren't stoners, we danced!!! Somehow that day my phone seemed to be in trouble and all the pictures I took were spoilt except for this one..
Pei Xian on the left and Mel on the right...It took me sometime to find wat to wear and took me sometime to do my hair too...Cos b4 I left the house, my hair actually looked like this..
Juz to credit Jun Wey for being there...
Yea...he was singing Cai Hong Tian Tang....
.
.
Overall I did have an unforgettable birthday...juz nxt yr I hope no messy stuff :P
Thank You ppl....

October 6th

2007-10-07T02:09:00.000+10:00

Why does it seem like the only thing im posting nowadays are birthday posts...
Cheers to September and October babies...
.
Ok, I noe I am one day late, however, I was kinda busy today...
.
Lets see...today is penguin birthday...Happy Birthday Amy Tee Mei Sim..
To most of my frens, I bet they dunno who Amy is cos I hardly talk about her to other people...but just for the record, guess how long I've known Amy, btw she turns 19.
.
Questionaire: How long have I known Amy Tee?
1) 5 yrs
2)10 yrs
3)15 yrs
4)19 yrs

Ok la, this is lame, infact I've known her for HER whole life, dats 19 yrs, so all those 'frens' dat claim to be long time fren and know me for so long adi, hahaha, think again..
Connection: Fathers, ex-housemate in England's daughter....

Amy Tee is a very introverted girl, u can ask anybody who knows her and if anyone of them says she is extrovert, I will belanja u eat victoria station ar....In fact, she has been so quiet all her life, despite knowing her for 19 years shes probably only said like about 500 words to me. I've always told her to talk more, but then...zzz
That's until u start msging her. Then she kinda like evolves into her alter ego, still penguin(inside story) but then talk damn alot!!! hahaha.....after a day of msging and her typing so much I can juz meet her at the badminton court and she's that quiet innocent girl again...muahhaha
.
.
The only person that is allowed to bully her, is her sister, end of story.....

HAPPY BURFDAY AMY!!(the one on the left)
Sry, I couldn't find a picture of u on my laptop, so I juz curi from ur frenster :P
God bless....
.

hungry!!! ciaoz

September 23rd

2007-09-23T15:25:00.000+10:00

Ok, today ar, another leng lui birthday lo.....As usual la, birthday people got special post from me wan....

Lets revert back to the old days (in college)...

Sim: Eh,u see right in the library got one girl quite cute wan..u go see over there...
Jon:(looks at her) eh ya hor...she not bad, ok got leng lui to see in library adi :P
....
Exam period approached, and I can be found in the library often with Sim...
One day, the final day of college, before the exams were about to begin....

Sim: Eh, u sure u don want to get to noe her ar? I mean I got gf adi ma, so I don't know her I wont regret wan, but u....hehe..
Jon: Aiya, we see so many girls in college adi la, its not like we gonna meet again right (omg the irony of this statement)

Immediately after I said this, I was walking to the cyber cafe and I passed by a restaurant in which she was there with another friend of mine, Wai Ken..Lol...maybe its fated that I should get introduced to her...so....I went into the restaurant.

Jon: Eh, u still here ar, so late eat?
Wai Ken: Yea....now eating
Jon: (turns and look at the girl) Er...hello...
Girl: :) Hi...

Chia Pei Xian, also known as ham yu (something to do with her name), had long silky shoulder length hair at that time, often wearing the standard t-shirt and jeans to college. Famously known for having tonnes of guys after her, her rock hard heart became soft towards a guy filled with false promises and lies. A girl with principles on her own, stands for what she thinks is right and doesn't get tempted by money. Sry la to all the guys, she's currently unavailable but I believe the way to be in good terms with her is sincerity.
Back then, I didn't know that she would be a friend so close to me, but mostly because of her, I don't feel lonely in Melbourne Uni because she's here!!(hehe..of course now got Mel oso to pui me around la)
Knowing we'd be in the same uni together we hung out more often during our free period from July to January. From movies and working at Mid Valley, she is really a friend to treasure.
When she went back to Malaysia during the winter break, I really missed her presence(in a friendly manner la).
.
.
Wishing Pei Xian a Happy 20th Birthday, and may all ur dreams and wishes come true. Coming off teen adi...haha....luv ya(in a friendly way too :P)

At Merdeka dinner
