Random stuff bout me... (1)

Music genre tat i listen to...

I m basically a neutral person... i listen to whatever which is pleasing to my ears... i grew up in a family whereby my dad is a super classic fan... so i got use to listening to those sleeping-pill effect classical music... however, some of the chinese oldies are really good and relaxing...

Teresa Teng, one of my all-time favourite... too bad she died young

Chai qing, my dad played her songs so hard that i can remembered the lyrics of nearly all her songs...

Abba, The Carpenters, The beatles and some other singer which i forgot their names...

oh so ever boring classical music... (sorry grace)

as i grew up... i start to listen to my own songs... during my time, boy bands are really selling good, for example, westlife, nsync, backstreet boys, 98 degrees, S-club 7, a-teens etc... so, like any other jiggly-giggly-sniggery teenage girls, i do listen to them, some are nice and some are just because of their cute members...My favourite boy band of all times... Westlife rocks!!!

during my secondary school, i started listening to chinese pop song, like Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, David Tao, Angela Zhang, Tanya Chua and many uncountable taiwanese artists...

























at times i do listen to some rock music, either light or heavy i listen to all of them... if my fren say that some rock band are nice, then i go listen to it... most of the time i watch mtv or channel [v] to know the latest news on music...











From left : Artic monkeys, Fall Out Boy, John Mayer and The strokes









i don really like metal or even listen to them until when i reach college and met some funny frens... haha... (yes amir, i m referring to u) amir half-forced me to listen to some of his metal music (which he insists is GOOD music) and to my surprise, some of the metal songs are quite nice, if u ignore the part when u don actually noe what they are singing (shud i say mumbling and growling...) btw, germany very own metal band rammstein are quite nice...

Check out their music videos at youtube, but be careful, most of them are quite disturbing...

lately i m very into girl vocals... their songs are nice bcoz the singers have such strong vocal expression... ppl like joss stone, kelly clarkson, natasha bedingfield, katherine mcphee etc are really making the girls proud... some mtv-s of Natasha Bedingfield are very colourful and very interesting too... they always never fail to put a smile on my face...





Joss Stone












jazz is one of my favourite too... i first started to listen to jazz because norah jones juz won many awards at the grammys... and my dad at tat time was so into jazz (resulting in i can memorize more than half of the songs by norah...) then when spiderman came out, michael buble was a real hotty... i mean the songs... lately, after i watch mtv movie awards, i accidentally heard the song 'rehab' by Amy Winehouse and i was hooked up by it... the song was sooo cool, and i think she finally bring some sexy sense back into this world... go amy!!!

Amy's song currently tops my window media player playlist...

Norah Jones and Michael Buble

Rumah Selebang...

i love u Jesus
deep down in my heart
x3

oohh... deep deep down down
deep down in my heart
x2

This song keep ringing in my ears since i came back from a trip to a longhouse - Rumah Selebang... which is located somewhere in Sibu district... despite 3 hours of long, bumpy and car-sickening ride, it was very super extremely worth it... there were about 20 youths tat sign up for this trip, i was in shah alam when my fren ask me whether i wanted to join... without second thoughts, i immediately sign up for it coz there have been a lot of things going on for the past few weeks or months, i din get chosen for anything that i thought i will glorify God... but God wanted me to come back to my own roots and do sth tat will glorify him instead of going for mission's trip or become facilitator of the incoming juniors... sometimes man plan their own way but in the end, God is the ultimate decision-maker, He noes wat's best for u or me and He will implement it according to His ways... the longhouse trip was a life-changing trip... i was soooo encouraged after going and i never regretted having signing up for it... though tat super lazy joanne regain her laziness and chicken out even though her dad is part of the longhouse ministry...

We board on this nearly-30-years-old-bus from the look at it to the longhouses...

Youths who joined the trip to different longhouses... (most of them are quite old already... including me) haha...
From left : Grace, me, Lawson and Roy

The longhouse kids are super duper cute... i really learn a lot from them, esp the red-shirt kid, i think his name is Boniface. I remember when the advisors ask for a volunteer to read out some bible scriptures, some older kid were chosen coz they noe how to read... Boniface, although din noe how to read, he memorize some words when the older kid was reading and the second time he went out and only manage to blurt out some words he remembered... though at last he was booed down, i see the smile at his face, knowing tat he had did his best already... I was thinking to myself, these kids are so passionate about serving, they raise up their hand everytime the advisors asked for help... i look at myself and our youths, we were quiet, in fact too quiet at times when the church needs help... we really do need a child-like heart...

My fav was the kid on the right... His name is Apiz... he is 3 years old and did not went to sch... so he don't noe any other languages except Iban... and the whole night he is speaking to me using this alien language... but nevertheless, i say 'bagus' and 'ya' and 'pandai' the whole night... he is juz so cute!!!!!!!

Some low quality shots using my fon's camera... the light was not tat strong coz there is only one fluorescent light in a very big room... (this is a longhouse we are talking about, not your house where u got different kinds of lighting system) they are actually performing some songs for the mission's month in july... you can see tat they are actually in their best clothes every sunday school...

During praise and worship... again the lighting was not tat good... for your information they can only on the lights at 7.30pm every night because electricity is only provided at 7.30pm every night... but praise the Lord when we arrive at 6.45pm, which was so dark tat we can hardly see each other, the lights were suddenly on...

Joanne's dad in the milky shirt... joanne did not go due to some complications... duh

The place where they store rain water...

The corridor where the kids play street fighter in real life...

KAJANG

muahahaha... hey ALG ppl... don jeles me lah... now i m having the time of my life at my cousin's place... one word to describe kajang - sibu... i felt a very strong sibu-ness here in kajang, the building, the kopi-tiam all seems so familiar... oh ya, not to forget the Sugarbun here too... finally i find sth from sarawak here in semenanjung... so ppl, if u haven taste anything from sarawak yet (other than sarawak pepper) plz go and check it out lah...

Let me giv u a brief intro bout my cousins, my cousins are all from sarawak from a small town of Sarikei (the pekan nanas in Sarawak)... they r all working now and it seems like yesterday tat they were back at my hometown, telling me bout their childhood and now they are all graduated and start working already... things change and they change fast... now i felt like i can't actually connect to their conversation... don misunderstand me... its not like i felt neglected... its bcoz now all they are talking bout is whose and whose wedding, who is working at where, who is having her/his first baby... i began to reflect on my own self... i started to ask ques to myself, wud i be like them someday when i came back to malaysia and start working... wud i get wedding invitations from my frens for example erin and joash's wedding... wud i get invited to the 'full-moon-dinner' of eunice's first born baby... all of these seems so far and beyond my understanding... it emphsizes the greatness of God's plan to each and everyone of us... perhaps God has install the best plan He can had for me and all i hav to do is to obey and i shall receive the best of God's favor...

p/s: hard to imagine wat wud eunice's baby look like... haha... any0ne plz share ur thoughts or imagination...

CAMPS

after chatting wif roy last night about the LIFE game, and after i saw my sister's blog about how much fun she had during the YMCA camp...i felt ******** (not the 'toot' word lah, just cannot finda any word to describe my feeling now) LIFE IS JUST so unfair lah!!! even tat i-don-care-bout-anything-coz-i'm-lazy JOANNE TIONG JIA WEN go for tat camp leh!!!!! ciz de... all i learn here was programming, CAD, technical drawing, metrology and stuff related to engineering, not to say its not fun at all but compared to studies, its the most interesting things i've learned so far in my A-levels... but all of this cannot be compared to going for church CAMPS!!! how i miss church camps, how i miss the time when we all individual protons and neutrons become nucleons in Christ during camps... we learned a lot during camps, we learn to gain electrostatic force (which is a strong force in physics) and later binded tightly by the force to become nucleon... even my bodoh sister pauline had so much fun during tat camp... for more information click here

however, i'm glad tat today i hav a day off from my ever so hectic schedule... i'll be heading to my cousin's place later so chow ppl...

p/s: i will update more bout gmi later... this is juz a random post

haih... speechless

Sorry if i hav to say this... and the most sincere apologies to my frens who will be reading this post, i don intend to be racist or anything, plz don think beyond wat ur brains can sustain... this is juz a pure, non-intention blog to express my disappointment once again towards some Homo sapiens who is now ruling our country... btw, i'm proud to be Malaysian... juz to confirm my own status here... but here is what i wan to say...

"...It's ironic that in a majority Muslim country such as Malaysia, it is the Muslims who have the LEAST freedom."

from here

haih...

...

i always thought i will go to africa,
but i can't even go to pantu.
when is my turn?
i am ready...

CAMPUS ALIVE HAS ITS VERY OWN BLOG NOW!!!

GO CHECK IT OUT NOW!!!

JUST CLICK ANYWHERE YOU WANT!!!

ALIVE AND KICKING!!!

muahahaha.... after a week or tormenting exams which particularly took half my life away... i m officially back now... sometimes i really don't like the education system of Malaysia where everyone dig into their books and study and memorise their hearts out for the exams... i mean wat's wif the memorising thing... u are suppose to understand how things work, not memorise them!!! (excuse for ppl wif short term memory - tat's me) now praying fervently everything tat i wrote will be pleasing to the examiner's eyes coz they oweys and only look out for KEYwords (tat's another thing tat i dislike once again - keywords, stupid excuse for the lecturers to deny the effort the students put it so tat none of the question is blank)

yesterday was kind of unexpected to me - i watch the same movie for the second time for the first time of my life. confusing. let me explain again. i watch spiderman 3 in sibu before and yesterday i watch it in klang again. And watching 2 exact movies in the cinema doesn't really suits me but i did tat for the first time in my life. Honestly, i really don like the movie the first time i saw it - everything seems so wonderfully and perfectly planned. Flint was so coincidently at the particle physics lab when the experiment was conducted (and he is the killer of uncle ben some more oh) *roll eyes* and then ngam ngam ho tat eddie was at the church when the spiderman decided to get rid of the evil thing inside him. duh... everything jus wonderfully fixed into the storyline. However, having watching it for the second time, i become more observant to the things apart from the things tat i mention juz now, i realise y the producer use black colour in the beginning of the movie, y harry say tat het will die for his friends and it really hits me. I learn a lot from the movie, the importance of friendship and we shud not treat frens the way we wanted. I started to think of the frens around me, from sibu, from CA, from ALG, from church, from former schools and i realised tat i have been so blessed all these years bcoz God decided to put some ppl to influence me and to be influedced by me around me. Being wif frens and able to talk to frens suddenly become so precious to me, God opened my eyes thru this movie and i started to appreciate frens rather than taking them for granted. Now i m really getting more sentimental about eileen's and gloria's leaving for USA. The ppl here in INTEC, esp the sibu gang, started counting the days of their departure, starting to count every last time they do sth wif them together ( like last time eating wif them in cemara, last time seeing them studying calculus in their hostel room, last time seeing them in intec..) haih... they come and they go... frens...

appreciate every single living being beside u... whether u like them or not... God stil put someone beside u for a purpose...

Below is a german essay which i wrote months ago, ok lah say me perasan but i AM quite proud of it no matter how many grammar mistakes that i made throughout... its basically red all over the paper... haha

Was wäre, wenn es keine Krankheiten und keinen Tod gäbe? (What happen when they are no illness and death?)

Wenn es keine Krankheiten und Tod auf dieser Welt gäbe, würde diese Welt auch mit Leuten überfüllt. Eine neue Bezeichung, `die menschliche Verschmutzung´ käme heraus, weil diese Welt also mit Leuten überbevölkert wäre. Ich würde vom Leben auf dieser Weld ermüden aber könnte nicht sterben, weil es keinen Tod auf dieser Welt gäb. Wenn diese Situation bestehen bleibt, müssen Leute das Wissen benutzen, dieses Problem zu lösen. Zum Beispiel zu andere Planeten abwandern, damit die Welt nicht überbevölkert ist. Wenn sie auf anderen Planeten wären, müssten sie mit den anderen Lebewesen auf diesem Planeten wieder konkurrieren, um dort zu überleben. Außerdem gäbe es auch keinen Arzt, Chirurg und Krankenswestern auf dieser Welt, weil sie nicht dringend benötig sind. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen, wenn es keine Krankheiten und keinen Tod auf dieser Welt gäbe, wäre dieser Platz nicht ein guter Platz zum wohnen, weile es nicht genügend Platz gäbe, um jedes Leben wesen auf dieser Welt zu tragen. Wenn dieses geschäne wären die Konsequenzen hard zu ertragen.

this is the results of studying too much german... haih...

Lead me to the Cross....

Waking up at 6 a.m on a SUNDAY morning was never really my cup of tea... but i guess the stress is coming again, the fear for the finals which will be held in one weeks time, all the books standing untouched in front of me... believe me, i was never like this before, last minutes study is always my first resort, now it has become my last... but i decided to start off my day by reading ppl blogs and *ahem comments and found out tat they really lighten up my day... i read amir's and cannot stop laughing after seeing tat he actually post my sms to him... and yes ppl, tat was MY sms to him to check whether he is stil alive... and comments on ej's and found out a horrendous truth, six foot tall a***, who attends CA and is a drummer is after eve!!!! haha... must be funny if they are really together... and kedekut's post never fail to amaze me again and again... he is the most observative guy i've known of... eileen's comments really encourage me... gloria's as usual is fun and refreshing... ah fong, an old fren of mine who is constantly being 'persecuted' by her parents by not letting her go to church and mix with christian friends, is stil standing strong her faith and it was amazing to see how God works in her life despite all the difficulties she face... keep it up girl, u can do it!!! joash's stories... erhm... a bit long and sometimes i skip a few part or reserve it for another time coz really no ending mah, y read stories wif no ending... dorothy's post makes me homesick again... joanne's was boring coz i did nearly everything wif her so i basically know what she did the whole day inculding the perfume and blah blah blah... (Joanne : Pat, u r so dead when i go to church wif u later....) haha... don care, this is my blog, ni guan wo, next time u write sth diff loh, sth which i dunno... hehe... king ung's and sin wui's as usual is about their life overseas which also can be reference when i go overseas someday... (hoping and praying everyday for it) jonathan's blog was enlivening as well, sort of remind me of the one and only Anchor which we can hold on to in our lives... sihan's remind me of my studies and now i shall go back to my german mind boggling grammar revision...

a good day to start off by reading ppl's blog... try to do this next time when u feel down... i guess God really works in everyone's life, He even uses little little insignificant things to cheer us up... For those who blog out there, thanz for blogging!!!! U guys really make my day....

Those reading this : "GOD BLESS!!! until the blessings overflow and u in turn bless others..."

Yeah... finally i know how to upload videos to youtube... hehe

Below are 2 videos for CA...

watch American Idol - Idols give back yesterday and was very touched by it... I can sense God speaking to me, remind and confirm me once again of wat He has install for me in the future and in my life... i saw ppl suffering all over the world, poverty, aids, malaria, illiteracy, women abuse, and more uncountable worldly issues....

So guys,
Join me in fighting poverty!
I've just signed the ONE Declaration committing myself to help fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty.

I'm asking you to make that commitment, too, by adding your voice.

I think your name belongs on that declaration, too. You can put it there by visiting:

www.one.org

or simply click on the pic above...

ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally Americans - one by one. So far, over two million have signed the declaration in support of a historic pact for compassion and justice to help the poorest people of the world.

Together as ONE we can make a difference!

A night at the airport...

having not slept for the past 24 hours because of some unintelligent plans that i've made to save up a mere RM50 when i could just lied down comfortably on my bed and dozed off wif a sweet dream, i could actually feel my head now... i felt like there's liquid in my head before this, whenever i walk i could feel the liquid in my head colliding wif my skull...(squish squish) yesterday was the most nonsensical day i had... i went to the airport at 10 pm when my flight is suppose to be on 7am, really had to say sorry and thank you to joanne for being there wif me throughout the whole 10 hours there... there's so much to experience staying one night at the LCCT, we got chase out of the terminal building coz there's some fogging going on and then we had to sleep on the harder-than-cement benches which i could not by any chance sleep even though i was as sleepy as a kolar bear... and once again many thanks to king ung, whom by the way, is now in germany, entertaining our (joanne and me) never ending grumbling and whining over the msn... i could feel that he's been slightly annoyed by our constant complaints and moanings but nontheless he helped us make it through the boringest night... (me and joanne actually take turns using the msn so imagine how traumatise he is to entertain 2 extreme kaypoh's ranting... haha)

what an experience right???? although tiring, but somehow i kind of enjoy it... i mean i never done this in my life and now the chance have come and next time i can tel ppl who wan to do this "DON'T EVER TRY TO STAY OVERNIGHT AT THE AIRPORT WHEN THERE'S FOGGING" Everything was closed including the so called "24-hours" Mcd... i was as hungry as a cow btw and gulped down one bubur Mcd as soon as it opened again at 4 am... however in the end--> it all went inside the toilet ball... this time my airsickness starts to go way out of hand... i had airsick even b4 i board the plane, i vomitted about 3 times and really hate the sourness in my mouth which i think i can stil feel it now... ewwww....

tat's all for now... continue on for the second post today!!!

I never realise how important my family is to me until now... it took me 19 years to be conscious of the fact that family is the most important relationship in my life... too late huh, some will think... but i'm glad i finally know it beofore i left for another place ... i can't wait to go back and have kampua as lunch and dinner, kompia as breakfast, tea-break and supper... i can't wait to converse in foochow wif my grandpa and aunties and uncles and the customers that come to my grandpa shop either to criticize the government or to buy groceries ... i can't wait to go back to Wesley and meet all my church frens there... i can't wait to laugh loudly at the lousy and cold jokes tat my siblings made at ppl tat i know... i can't wait to meet all my primary, secondary, tuiton sch frens... can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait can't wait.......

MUAHAHAHAHA... I WILL BE GOING BACK TO SIBU NEXT WEEK NO MATTER WHAT!!! I AM GOING TO GET AN MC IF I DON'T MANAGE TO ASK FOR PERMISSION TO GO BACK!!! i'll make sure i get sick next week... choi choi choi... **touch wood

huh!!!!!! when did i start to write emo entries like eunice... haha... sorry but no offence...
back to myself now....

its only 3 hours prior to the last CA of this sem... its actually a farewell CA to the american programme students and alm seniors... so glad tat today afternoon class got canceled so that i can work on the slide show presentation that i'll be displayed later as a surprise for them... hope none of them are reading this now... otherwise it won't be a surprise anymore... felt really sad that some of my very very best frens in intec are leaving soon... hope they enjoy the time that CA has install for them for tonight... and God bless them wherever they go coz its not the end of their life journey but its only the beginning.....

this post is specially dedicated to JOANNE TIONG JIA WEN... MY LONG LONG LONG FREN SINCE KINDERGARTEN

now in joanne's room onlining... she is now in a not-very-good mood... this is one of the fewest among fewest time tat she got depression... haha... find out more here... cannot imagine tat right??? but this is a scholar way's of life... its not easy being one - u had to have a high mentality and handle stress well... but anyway,

'Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Philippians 4:4-5/NIV

This is the verse tat really lighten her up which she saw here... it happens to be the verse of the day of tat site... wow!!!

and THIS is the verse tat we hear from a very powerful sermon on Sunday itself... it is really a blessing in disguise... God works in every little way to cheer us up and remind us always that He is always with us no matter what we are going through now...

So ppl... rejoice in the LORD now... coz the JOY of the lord is our strength...

finally finish moral test today... and since i had 2 hours of free time until my next class, this shall be one of the things that help me pass the time in the com lab... it has been quite sometime since i actually sit down to surf the net without any purpose, i kinda miss the time i use to surf the internet without any motive at all and juz go surfing the net for the sake of surfing, if u noe wat i mean... not those surf-the-net-coz-i've-got-assignment-and-i-need-information kind of surfing... this is juz so good... watch some news on sinchew and find out bout Lina Joy and Yeshua Jamaluddin... not tat i did not heard of them b4 but its the first time i can find time googling their name and find out more bout them but the more i look into it, the more i learn about my own country... sad to say i've learn too much tat i m actually quite dissappointed... but anyway, english lesson up next and i had to chow now... bye

Guess i don't have to tel u wat happen to my internet connection this few days... all my money... haih....

updates....

sorry for the lack of updates this few weeks... had been quite busy wif CA because we're having 2 CAs in 2 consecutive weeks... maybe its the first in CA history but hey anyway, i hav great joy serving and by the way... Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter to all!!!

it has been yet another 2 hectic weeks despite some spiritual attacks and stuff... everytime there's a CA, there's me getting attacked again and again, sometimes i may feel it but sometimes i was too ignorant... last week i accidentally burned my hand during chemistry lab... it goes like this... i was chatting happily wif my fren when suddenly my hand tend to find a place to rest on and have a break and there's this tripod stand juz nearby so my palm juz rest on it relaxingly and unknowingly but 5 seconds later i felt my right palm burning and ta-dah... i can't write and do anything wif my right hand for 2 days... (sorry but i tend to write loooooooooooonnnnnnnngggggg sentences) the tripod stand is actually sizzling hot after 30 minutes of non-stop heating of some forgot-wat's-the-name chemical... so during tat time u can actually see my palm having a triangle shape bruise...

then this week, when i tot everything was going on so well... i was wrong!!! so very extremely exceedingly exceptionally WRONG!!! one night while i was walking merrily while humming a tune on my way to the study room... KA BAM... the next thing i noe, i was only a head above the ground level... i found myself suddenly inside a drain and i don't know why... tat time my hands and legs are bleeding but later it turn out to be quite mild for someone who always trips and falls down wherever she goes...

tat's all for now, wouldn't want to bored u all wif my accidents but i m now working on a project... (wow, huge word) haha... its nth actually... remember the Easter CA we had this week earlier on, we are actually having sth special on, as a matter of fact, we had a very touching skit about sacrificial love and i plan to compile it all into a movie... i'll probably upload it here as soon as i finish... till i see u next time!!! God bless!!!

Back to shah alam yet again...

skip ethics class today because of my headache... its only the first day of sch after the mid-term break and i had headache already... maybe i stil can't accept the fact that i had to go back to sch once again after a week of refreshing and rejuvenating holiday...

juz some show-off , for my own pleasure :

Below are some pics of the mouse and bible that my frens gav me on my birthday... Look at how the mouse change its colour each time...

its blue now...

then it turns green...

jus now u see green, now u see red... haha

The bible and the mouse... the best present ever

Thanks for the wonderful present!!! really appreciate them!!!

Why God Takes Young People

When God calls young adult to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
the death of our dear child.
Who does so much to make our world,
seem so wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
before it can grow old.

God knows how much we need them,
and so He takes but few.
To make the land of heaven
more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult
still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows
will always be Good-bye.

So when our young one departs,
we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children.
ANGELS ARE HARD TO FIND!

Thank you Amir bin Othman for the marvellous, magnificent, superb, lovely, first-class, delightful, wonderful (i m running out of words now) video he did wif a green and handsome dinosaur (forget wat's his name is but i reckon its dino if i m not mistaken...) by saying 'happy birthday' to me wif his deep, bass, sexy voice...

Boy, i m so proud of myself for writing the longest sentence in my blog...
dann prost Amir!!!

am i being sarcastic? no... definitely not...

The best birthday ever and the last....

Yesterday was kind of surprising actually... i had the longest surprisES ever with so many ppl singing birthday songs to me and i had to act as if i don't know they are going to do so... here goes the story...

Yesterday was my 19th birthday (i m soooo old d...) and i had the privilege to serve God on my birthday itself...I was helping out with a church camp organized by the churches of Sarikei as a Game master or watever it is called... 12 of us were divided into groups of different moral values such as love, self-control and others... I am in charge of a station and mine was called 'fu zhe' (in eng it means 'responsiblity'... its actually a game to to develope a sense of responsibility among all the group members... wat happen is tat the game master before mine actually told the groups tat if they sing birthday song when they come to my station, they will be rewarded wif extra points and i guess u all noe wat will happen next... i have all the groups singing the 'happy birthday' song to me and it was quite touching at first... however after tat, it was kind of paiseh but i appreciate all their effort and had to pretend to be surprised anyway...

When i tot everything was over, then all of my frens from wesley came out wif a cake out of nowhere and started to sing the birthday song AGAIN to me... then they get oliver to pray for me and it was the best present i ever receive tat day... thank you all who prepare this - i think sabrina was behind all this but nontheless thank you everyone - timothy, dorothy, grace, michelle, san san, melisa, roy, ah liang, jonathan, alen, sabrina, oliver, pastor lisa and all the pastor from the camp... really had a great time spending time wif all of u at the camp...

Thank you everyone who take the time to type a msg to wish me a very happy birthday - helen, alvin, grace ham, johnson, amanda, daniel, joanne, eileen, gloria, soibah, izzah, eunice, joash, erin, my evil twin sister evelyn, ah saw, happy wong, janice, dewei, ah fong, lawson, aaron, rachel, my cousin ah ing, tze qiang, and those who are yet to be named... thank you for all the birthday wishes and though i cannot thank you one by one, i really appreciate it!!!

This is the last birthday wif a 1 in front of my age... next year i will be 20... can't believe i survived this world for nearly one fifth of a century and i hope my years ahead will be a better one...

Finally!!!!! i get to post sth here... the hostel internet connection had been so bad that i could not even sign in for the whole of 2 weeks... only now in the airport i manage to get into the page and type some words!!! somehow i think that applying for the hostel connection is kind of wasteful... juz finish my german exam today!!! din finish the grammar part though... anyway, i did my best already and hope that i can get an A and i will be soooooo satisfied...

The journey back was quite an interesting one... this time i don't feel bored or agitated by the fact that my ears kept getting blocked because of the difference of air pressure despite how many times i swallow my saliva or close my eyes or blow my nose by covering the nose (don't try this at home... self-torturing) and yawning... i juz can't stand the awful feeling of ear-blockness or watever it is called... this time i get to force joanne to play scrabble with me... i could not remember the last time i play scrabble but it was funny teaching joanne how to count points u get from putting one word on the board... she could not understand at first and i had a very very hard time teaching her how to count but later james join in and was catching up easily, at least better than tat joanne tiong jia wen... (she is so gonna beat me up after she sees this... muahaha... but who cares!!! this is my blog!!!)

At last the 2-hour flight back home was like 2 minutes and we could not even finish a game... but somehow we had great fun making fun of each other...

SIBU!!!!!!! ich komme!!!!!

funny...

a fren of mine (tat's YOU - Eileen Ting) recently found an interesting video on youtube...
Please click here...
plz check it out... especially towards the end...


P/s : u will also hear eileen singing in some part of the video

have fun!!!

Part 5 - Of hearts and oranges...

Updates :
Been through a miraculous week last week... nearly lost my handphone but found it eventually (phew....) guess i prayed so hard to God that He had no choice.... haha... also, i heard from my fren tat a fren a hers, who is an atheist all her life, suddenly accepted christ (although later she renounce it) but i was stil happy for her, at least she tried to change her perspective of the existence of God... later, we had another CA - and the theme is 'of hearts and oranges...' basically, heart means valentine while oranges represent chinese new year... after the sermon by Pastor Joshua, i realize that i really don need a valentine so desperately because someone's love is so sufficient... will be going back this week... can't wait !!!!

Part 4 - Of AYA Festival and foochow gang...

Yeah!!! The most anticipated moment is finally here... I'm so very extremely glad that i am able to be one part of it... For ur information, i was one of the volunteer for this amazing festival and i never regretted having spending so much time helping out to make this charity event a success...

All the 5 volunteers from INTEC, UiTM
From left - Joanne, me, Eileen, Cheng Ing
Middle - Grace(the one wif black AYA T-shirt)

The stage where all the bands will be performing -
Sonicflood from USA, Altered Frequency and Unabashed from Malaysia.
Other performers including Suki from One in a Million, Tessie from Actschurch and Mia Palencia from Malaysia too.

Putra Stadium, Bukit Jalil - the place where the festival will be held.

Did i mention that i was in the security team. Wonder y they choose me to be in the team but maybe i prayed hard to be in backstage but instead they placed me to be in the human barrier team, where most of the time i m facing the crowd, not the bands. Here is Joel, the security team leader giving all the members a tour of the stadium so that we get familiarise wif it. As security 'guards', we can't get lost ourselves, can we?

All those who turn out for this life changing event. Hope u guys had a good and fun time having fellowship with each other and with God too.

The head of security guards - Joel, as seen in pic stading behind Sonicflood, the most down-to-earth band in this whole wide world. They are the most friendly bunch of ppl that i had ever met in my entire life. They even offered to take pic wif all the volunteers after the autograph session. I was sooooooo touched by them. Love you all SONICFLOOD!!!!!

Mia Palencia - who sings Yes Jesus loves me which bring back all the good memories back in Sunday Sch...

As i have mention juz now, i was in the human barrier team - which means most of the time i will be facing the crowd to control them so they will not get too crazy just in case (some probably might throw their undergarments on stage... who noes???) Before that, i admit i have been a little starstruck for a while but God put me in the human barrier team to remind me once again to fix my eyes on Him, not the bands who come... I was quite thankful that i was actually not in the backstage team (although before that i was asking God to put me there so that i can see all the bands and performers) This is because if i was back there doing nth but looking at those ppl, i will miss a lot from God... While we were singing praises, the band was playing behind me but i felt that i sensed God even more than the usual praise and worship... i experienced God more because i get to listen to the words of the songs instead of seeing it wif my eyes... it was such a wonderful time having worshiping and serving at the same time...
It is also heartening to see ppl singing together with the band... I see all those faces glowing with satisfaction when singing, some even dance and jump to the beat but its all for God...
Apart from that, i was glad to see the foochow gang from Sibu too... led by Aunty Michele, Lawson, Jonathan and Roy came all the way from Sarawak for this memorable event... It's been some time since i last seen them and hope they enjoy the stay here... Hope to see u guys soon in Sibu...
Til i see u... auf wiedersehen!!!

Part 3 - Of football match and fans of God....

Last tuesday night, all of a sudden out of nowhere some of the guys from ALG (a level german - perpetually well known for its notorious bunch of ppl who play futsal at 2 a.m) suggested that we go watch football match between Malaysia and Singapore... not having watch any football match before in my entire 18 years of life, it sorts of arouse my curiosity and interest to go... And so off we go to the Shah Alam stadium to watch my first every football match...

The place was very crowded and we can juz feel the excitement of football fans there...

Somehow coincidently Malaysia score the first goal during the second half of the game... everyone of us was like dumbfounded for at least 3 seconds before we cheered and shouted for our Malaysian team.

Some of the alg guys cheering so loud that they lost their voice the next day...

The stadium was full of football fans from all over selangor as well as other nearby states i believe...
At last Malaysia tied with Singapore 1 -1

Somehow, through this experience, i felt that God had stirred sth in my heart... i manage to catch the message... All these so called football fans can get extreme when it comes to football, some even dare to throw bottles towards the field and according to my fren, if malaysia happen to lose to sgp tat night, it will be pandemonium because ppl will start throwing chairs and anything they had in hand ... i was like soooo shocked at tat time but then it struk me...

As Christians, why can't we be as crazy as those football fans ??? Why don't we cheer and shouted for Jesus??? Why are we being so cool and unenthusiastic when it comes to evangelism??? Maybe, juz maybe we should be fans of Jesus, who will oweys cheer and lifting up Jesus name wherever we go...

Juz some 2 cents from me... til i see u next time... chow

Part 2 - Of frens from Sibu and Campus Alive...

Having been in Sibu for the last 2 months really boost me up to continue to live the fullest of my life... i was really encouraged by some of the friends i re-met and get to know them better...

1. Ah Fong - the same old round pimpled face... knew her since primary sch and now she is on fire for God!!! Praise the Lord... really encourage me a lot and is a good listener who is willing to share my problems...
2. Dorothy - knew her during Youth Convention 3 years ago, we were both in the same group... been to some church camps with her and such a good poet... now she is in STMS and i believe she can do great things for God...
3. Lawson - used to be my senior during secondary sch but din know him tat well... although he only came to knew the Lord lately but he is so on fire to serve Him... really had a good time working with him on the sketch for christmas eve...
4. Sabrina - 12A1 girl... a very good listener as well ( i know i complain a lot to my frens...) such a strong willed person and believed that God has better plan for her to stay back in Sibu... its really encouraging to see her serving the Lord despite being in form 6 now...
5. Jonathan - don know him really well but after working together with him for the sketch, i found out tat he is a loyal servant of God too... now in STMS with Dorothy and i believe as well that God will use him mightily to bring more ppl to claim more lost souls...
6. a fren of my sis but i forgot his name - really surprise tat he is so willing to serve although i never seen him b4... he is such an encouragement to me to see a young christian being so on fire
7. Siong Ning - knew him since primary sch as well during tuition class, a big bro tat u can always consult if u have any problems... a teacher-to-be... the only person who knows the problems faced by students of government uni
7. BiHo, Melvin, Alen, John, Aaron and all advisors...

Continue to stand firm despite all the problems we face and thanks for being so cooperative!!!

"Back" to shah alam...
Part 1 - Of rain and a big box...

it has been quite a restless week for me... in a nutshell, its a very painful week for me... physically painful... everyone noes that it rains a lot this few months in malaysia and unfortunately shah alam too... so it gets very slippery every now and then at everywhere as u can see in all over malaysia... so it gets slippery and of course to some extent, dangerous for ppl with problems maintaining their balance maybe because sth in the ear is not functioning (haven touch bio for a long time...) like ME because they will slip and fall right on their buttocks and back down the STAIRS... IMAGINE THAT!!!!! so in the end i end up having bruises all over them...

the next day, as if i do not hav enuf bad luck for the week... another drastical accident happened... while i was walking back from gloria's room, so happy tat i finally managed to borrow a calculator from her... at the same time i even see a big box that i've wanted to put things at her room, so without any further thoughts, i ask from her and happily she gave it to me... as i was walking back to my own block, somehow, i juz trip and fell to the ground... haih, guess i don hav to tel u wat happen next...

haih... i've nth more to say

2006... Its a wrap!!!!

Yesterday i was browsing some of my frens' blog and found out tat everyone has at least make an effort to blog about their new year resolutions and how 2006 was such a grand & extravagant or dull & monotonous year for them... it sorts of trigger my enthusiasm to blog about mine too!!!

For me, if i were to choose one word to describe 2006 -- contented (perhaps...) , blessed (definitely...) , worn out (sometimes...) , downcast (once in a while...) --> hey, tat's more than one word but who cares... i'm the one who is writing it... har har har

ehem, back to the fundamental thing -- the capital R --> RESOLUTIONS
actually they are not my cup of tea but since everyone is doing it, here goes :
1. Get all A's for the next exam, coz i miss chemistry this time (sob... sob...)
2. Finish reading the whole bible!!!! (kind of not reading it so much since i finish disciple... juz a little here and there... i need to be consistent!!!)
3. Be more thankful and appreciate things around me (i've taken things for granted too much...)
4. Glorify God in everything that i do...
5. Be attentive in class and don't sleep during lessons
6. Make more new frens
7. Try my best to tolerate ppl that i don't like... (God plz help me in this!!!)
8. Be a good leader and examples to juniors
9. SAVE money coz i have been too wasteful last year!!!
10. Hope to be spiritually and mentally mature in the years to come...

Tat's all from me this time...

My most meaningful Christmas ever!!!

Last week i have been quite involved in Christmas activities organized by Wesley Youth... first we go shopping (yay!!!) and buy stuff like rice, cooking oil, milo, biscuits, junk food, canned food and so on and then we wrapped them up... it was a lot of fun doing it and we all hav good fellowship during tat session... after tat we distribute them to the less fortunate ppl... it was really really heart rending and saddening to see there are so many ppl who are sooo much less fortunate than us... i remember auntie Grace was soooooo emotinal when we pass by the illegal housing area, she nearly want to giv out all the presents to them but uncle Daniel say tat it will be endless as there are too many of them to giv... tat time, my heart was wif auntie Grace too, i too was so eager to giv our presents to them but they are outnumbered and we can't do anything about it... then the feeling of helplessness once again feel me up... as a christian we were always told to make a difference to the world and here we are feeling so helpless when we see ppl who are so unfortunate and most importantly some of them don't even know Jesus...
Later we went to visit some family, most of them are widows and bcoz their husbands ran away or pass away and they hav to raise up their children bare handed... i really salute them bcoz despite all the difficulties, they manage to support their family without their husbands (chou nan ren) and on the way, i realize how contented is our church bcoz they are not trying to reach out to these ppl but only stay in their own comfort zone... sorry i hav to say this but i felt tat our church is being too selfish when they only care for themselves but not for others but i like the spirit of out youth bcoz we try to reach out to ppl who are less fortunate and without getting to the front page of the newspaper (not like some who called themselves charity organizations like leo or lion club)
Anyway, really wan to take this chance to thank a couple of ppl... Lawson, Bi Ho, Jonathan, Joanne, Sabrina, Nyuk Hung, Dorothy, Melvin, John, Stanley, Siong Ning, Ah Fong and all the other youths from Wesley... Thank you for ur coorperation in helping to put together efforts for these christmas activities esp the sketch... although we fail the first time during the rehearsal but we never giv up and continue to try and try and re-do everything and sacrifice a lot of time for this sketch... in the end, everything was paid off when we heard the clappings of the audience... hope they were touched by this sketch and get the msg tat we are trying to convey...

last but not least, i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas and Merry Christmas!!!! God bless...

Back home once again...

so good being at home once again, juz enjoying the feeling leaving all the blankets behind without actually folding it... Ahhh!!! Home sweet home... of coz i need to bear my mum's nagging... she will go on and on about how little i hav change and blah blah blah... the fact is i fold my blanket every single day when i was at the hostel, its juz tat y shud i fold my blanket when i m back home??? i see no point in it... anyway, my mum is juz being herself, if she doesn't nag, sth really wrong is going on... haha

meeting frens is another thing which i enjoy since i got back but lately it seems they are always bz and din reply or replying late some of ur msg... maybe its juz my presumption tat we are not tat close again... maybe they are REALLY bz or wat... so its going to be a very boring holiday so tat's y i need to find sth to do...

Below is a list of wat i m planning to do this holiday :

1. Slam dunk (as in basketball slam dunk which i oweys hope i can do it, but it seems the chances are slightly low since i cannot find a basketball net which is low enuf, anyway, its juz a planning)
2. Finish reading the whole set of harry potter once again
3. shop-til-i-drop in Singapore ( which i doubt it bcoz of financial prob, as u all know, singapore currency is quite big)
4. throw a farewell party for sze wen who will be leaving for Aus for her studies (sob sob)
5. (to be continued)....
   

LIFE IS LIKE TAT...

its been long since i posted sth here... juz finish my ethics exam this morning and found out tat it wasn't as hard as i imagine... i manage to bluff through 3 pages of matlamat kehidupan manusia mengikut pelbagai aspek agama... ethics---> the funniest subject i had ever encounter in my whole life... we study about darwin theory of how a bear can mutate into a whale... i nearly laugh my head off when i read the whole chapter of evolution of Men but sometimes i felt a sheer anger when they mention sth which is not true about Christianity... its like how can they say old testament contradictied wif new testament... tat is juz their opinion, not the truth, they studied it the different way... however, life is like tat....
OK, back to shah alam... the weather here sucks... seriously, its hot and humid... it never rains, i mean not long enuf to cool things down... plus the haze here is really extremely thick and choking, i wonder if ppl living here for the rest of their life can stand it or not? but anyway, life is like tat...
Next week is the depa raya holiday but i don't get to go back... feel really homesick but i think its not worth spending so much money going back for only a week then come back for a week before i start my 2-months-end-of-semester-break... but stil, life is like tat...

tat's all for now, chao...

sometimes its hard to be considerate to ppl, esp those who weren't grateful to the help offered to them... you should at least say 'thank you' after using the things u borrowed for such long time until I don't even have time to use it too... haih, God i know U wanted me to glorify U wif all the things i have, so plz make me strong in enduring and ignoring the little voices inside my heart.... Amen

Happy birthday to Amanda!!!

Friday was Amanda's 18th birthday and we juniors actually planned a surprise for her... i think she was touched enuf... haha, imagine we nearly wake the whole akasia up at 12 am with our candles... romantic leh...

soooo romantic!!!

we took 1 hour to make this shape u noe!!!

German week!!! woo....

Last weekend our seniors put in a lot of effort and hard work to organize a German week. I was involved in the fashion show. Below are the pics of the 'models' wearing traditional clothing of Germany...

Kem Bina Insan

Last week i went for a camp organized by maybe our sponsors or sch... whatever lah... below are the pictures.... sorry for the short and brief narration... been kind of busy this few days...
