Away From Home

20 ++

2010-03-27T12:04:00.001+08:00

I used to tell myself I want to grow up real quick. To be 21 years old so I can do anything I want to… But then, I didn’t realize that 21 happens only once.. and that one time passes real quick.

“There’s not much difference when you hit 20 ++”

A New Season

2009-08-29T22:37:00.002+08:00

Indeed this is a new season for me. Feels so strange to be in KL. I haven't had much time for myself since I started work here... Ok nephew getting restless.. Will update another time.

If you guys are in KL, do give me a call tho. God bless buddies~

St. Teresa

2009-05-28T23:45:00.001+08:00

Just a quick update.

I just finished teaching in St. Theresa for 2 months. That’s primarily why I’ve not been updating my blog (also coz dun have internet access at home. T____T)

Anyhow… Just want to say, I had a really great experience in St Theresa, it was fun, and filled with a different adventure everyday. Teaching is NOT an easy profession. I have total respect for all of them who were teachers, are teachers, those who are going to be teachers, and those who are thinking of becoming one!

Ok lah.. I guess I shall stop here. :p Will update more when I have some pics to put up, and please do pray with me for a DSLR. Hehehe… Maybe I’m asking for a bit too much too quickly eh.. haha.. :P

Emo emo emo

2009-03-28T13:36:00.001+08:00

Been feeling a little emo recently.. and then today, I heard this song on the radio by Katy Perry, i loved it at first tune. I couldn’t tell that it was Katy Perry until I went to youtube to find the song, because at first, i thought it sounded like Alanis Morissette. Very different from all de other Katy Perry songs, and the video is great, but it had a pretty sad ending to it.

Better In Time

2009-03-19T10:57:00.003+08:00

University life seems to be the thing that I remember most right now.
From the very first day of registration,
Until the day I got my clearance form filled and verified -
Childhood seem to be rather uneventful.

* * *

The memories;
All the bitter and the sweet,
Stirred together in a martini glass.
I took a sip yesterday.
I am taking another sip today.
I will take a little sip tomorrow.

The bonds that were built,
I hope they will never break or lose it's strength.
The friendship that we have,
Is worth more than the riches of this world.

The laughter and tears that we have shared
The blood and sweat that we have poured out
They will all be remembered well,
For what we have done is nothing less than HISTORY

To my roommates - Felix, Jack, Jia Ann and Aloy,
My best mates - Jesse, Michelle, Elvina, John, Vinod and Xiao Qi
All my friends from July 04, COP Tronoh and more...

I miss you all...

Looking forward to see you all again during graduation!

* * *

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
Even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
I'll all get better in time

* * *

strange…

2009-03-07T12:21:00.001+08:00

I miss staring at my computer screen blankly….

unending

2009-03-05T22:00:00.001+08:00

The cycle continues, the sun still rises and sets. It doesn’t matter what happen in the political arena. It doesn’t matter what happens around you or me, the sun still will rise and set just like it did yesterday. Tomorrow, the same thing will happen.

If it is so, then why is our human experience always so different? Always changing, and we look for changes. When we do something repetitively, we complain, and we ask for change!

A man’s heart changes like the winds that blow. It’s direction is ever changing. The weight of the wind changes. It can be so strong it blows a house over, or it can be so gentle on a warm day.

I thank you for carrying me on your shoulders for so long, I pray that you will be there to guide me now. The waves need to be calmed, the winds need to be directed.

Mission: Pay LESS for 100% Beef

2009-02-27T16:00:00.001+08:00

Date: 25 February 2009

Mission: Obtain and secure valuable cargo currently on SALE

Location: Malaysia, Sarawak, Kuching.

Time: 9:00 PM – I’m waiting for Che Chung to come pick me. The air was dense, the wait seemed long. Eventually we went and picked up 3 more agents on the way.

Time: 9:45 – We were at location, waiting in position. The place was crowded. Each one in the place had a certain look on their faces. All with different emotions, but seem to be screaming out the same thing.

“I WANT MY MC D!!!”

We did have our burgers, fries and Coke in the end….

AND, mcFlurry lah..

That was 2 days ago…

Just roughly about an hour ago… I was in Shell’s car.. and when I looked down between my legs.. I saw…

Yup! More McD for just RM18.75! WooooOoooOOooHooo! I kinda love McD more this week lah… Been so nice to let me have super fatty burgers for LESS. Oh.. ya.. the promo ends when February ends, so if it’s still February 2009, turn off your laptop and run over to your nearest McD now!

*Photos are taken with my cheap camera phone, forgive the poor quality. Look forward to better days tho.. Cheers~

Update Patch v1.0

2009-02-17T11:25:00.001+08:00

It’s been so long since i last posted! I didn’t even have the patience to sit down at my pc and do things on it like I used to when I was in UTP. Life is so much different, and yeah… I spend so little time doing the things that I used to do when I was in UTP.

Missing all of my friends, and all the late night/ early morning mamak, gaming, drinking, food hunting session! Ah… Kuching, Kuching, I longed to be here, but suddenly, I feel that I have nothing much to do here…

Delays

2009-01-17T17:40:00.001+08:00

Date: 17 January 2009

Time: 5.26 PM

Location: Gate P5, LCCT, Kuala Lumpur

The air is dense with anticipation. Everyone wants to know when we will be boarding. Air Asia.. what to do… want to save money.. have to put up with such things ler.. hehe… I’ve been here for 4 days, and every single day has been awesome days. Meeting old friends, and getting to know “new” friends… Today, I’ll be leaving KL for another few weeks, maybe months. I’m not sure when I will be back here. Hopefully, the next time I come over this side, I’ll be coming here to report for work.

It’s really amazing how everything turned out, how every detail has been thought out by Dad. I want to thank everyone who prayed for me, I really appreciate your time and how you cared so much. The interview was awesome, I couldn’t believe how it was so much like a chat with a good friend, and not something tough. The interviewer basically had that time to get to know who I was and what I wanted to do. Amazing eh? Praise Father who went before me, and made the way much easier for me. Thank God for Elvina who showed me how to get around the office too. Hehe..

I wonder when this flight is going to take off. It’s supposed to have taken off like 35 minutes ago. I should be on my way home de!!!!

Alright! They just called to board! Look forward to be home and continue blogging. Hehe…

Reporting for Duty, Sir!

2009-01-15T11:42:00.001+08:00

Here I am at KL suddenly… It was a little bit of a rush… and we booked the tickets so fast, i was wondering if i did make a mistake when i booked the tickets.

The flight wasn’t pleasant at all.. I felt all dizzy and Elvina nearly puked. Haha… Well, we made it to KL, and then after getting refreshed and changed, we headed off to KLCC. The WHOLE process of duty reporting was over in less than an hour. *Poof* over! I can’t believe it was so fast!

Thank God, after reporting for duty, they quickly arranged for my interview to be on this coming Friday, that would be tomorrow… Not sure if I’m prepared for it, but just go for it lah.. Got some tips from Yeow Chong, and Elvina.. It should be alright lah! =D

Pray pray…

It’s new year!

2009-01-03T16:04:00.001+08:00

Three days ago, I had a chance to look back and remind myself of some of the things in 2008. There are many things I want to leave behind and move on from, but there are also a large number of things I’m thankful to God for. He is ever faithful and it’s just amazing how such a GREAT God can love someone so insignificant as myself.

Well, 2008 is done… 2009 has come. Just as a malay saying goes “Let go of that which is bad, keep only what is good”.

It’s going to be another great year! Cheers ~

Christmas

2008-12-25T17:11:00.000+08:00

The season to share the love of Christ

Lets not forget…

This is not about santa, or gifts, or giving.

It is about Jesus, and the hope we have in Him..

Cheers people… Have a blessed Christmas!

I'm Home

2008-12-18T19:13:00.003+08:00

I reached home yesterday...

Yep yep, atlast I'm home.

After all the drama..

I'm home

Today I felt it again, "So near yet so far"

The day was super cozy and I just love the rain here.

It sure is good to be home,

A time to recover, a time to heal.

Chrismas is coming soon.

With each passing day,

We all draw near to the closing of 2008

A time to remember the good things and blessings of 2008,

and put away the sad memories of yesterday.

Finally

2008-12-17T13:54:00.002+08:00

I'm going home... I'm at the airport with mum.
3.25, the plane should be getting ready to leave.
Looking forward to be home.

This time, it's weird,
Having mixed feelings,
I want to be home,
Yet, something feels very different.

I pray for a good warm homecoming. =D
To all my friends in west M'sia, I'll be seeing you all very soon, so miss me and call often ya! :P

Wedding Plan Tag... Hmmmmm.....

2008-12-15T18:15:00.003+08:00

A double tag from John and Wan Sin. Not that I'm going to get married in a few weeks... so this is gonna be a really tough one.

How old are you?

I'm now 22 years old..

Are you single?

Yup, still am... but n/a

In what age do you think you'll get married?

What age ah? Not sure lah.. I think it's more to financial ability? (Weddings are expensive!)

Do you think you'll be marrying the person you are with now?

I'm not in a relationship yet.. but I'm looking forward to a lifelong relationship next.

If not, who do you want to marry?

Can't think of anyone at the moment. So... maybe I stay celebate? :P

Do you want a garden/beach or a traditional wedding?

I'd like something traditional, in a church, at the altar, but if my wife to be has better ideas, I'm all ears!

Your ideal motive?

I guess this should be discussed with my wife to be lah.. I don't have much of a preference I think...

Where do you plan to go on a honeymoon?

I'm thinking of some beach... like maybe Maldives, Bali, Anse Victorin of Seychelles in Africa... and I heard even in France, there are great beaches... =)

How many guests do you think you'll invite?

I'm guessing this question referes to the dinner. Can I not have wedding dinner? :P
Ok.. more importantly, invite family members and close friends and buddies!

Do you want an extravagant wedding or a simple wedding?

Simple is good...

Do you want the traditional vows or something you'd make up on your own?

I guess I want to cook something on my own.. More meaningful, and more straight from the heart. =)

How many layers of cake do you want?

Layers ah? actually so many layers... who eat all of them ya? Lol.. I think 3 tier would be just fine lah.. unless the hotel decides to give me a 10 storey cake! Haha.

Do you prefer having your reception at a hotel or a simple place?

I'd prefer a hotel, someplace really nice where the atmosphere is fun, electric, and the food is deliciously mouth watering everytime my guests remember the wedding, I want them to have something good to remember, and also for myself and my wife to be...

When do you want to get married, morning or evening?

It depends on the location I guess.. If like in a church setting, the morning would be great, but if at the beach, the evening time, when the sun is setting would be best!

You'd rather have your reception outdoors or indoors?

I'd prefer indoors, with A/C and all.. Unless the wedding is in someplace cold ? Haha...

Do you like a grand entrance for your groom?

erm... is this tag for girls ne kah? John ??? Wan Sin???? :P
Hmm.. So ya. I checked John's answer and I agree with him.. :P Just wait at the altar la.. no need magic show to appear.

Name the song/tune you'd like to play at your wedding?

erm... I'm thinking "You and Me" by Lifehouse.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

I'm pretty much nocturnal.

Do you want a solemn ceremony or a light one?

Don't know for sure.. Something in the middle? Lol... how solemn can a wedding get wor.. it's supposed to be happy celebration right?

Describe your ideal husband/wife?

Ok. here are some pointers, but not the full list or in any particular order except for the first one.
1. She must love God more than she will ever love me.
2. Loves food
3. Loves music
4. Has a huge heart for Jesus!

Do you prefer fine dining or just the normal spoon & fork/knife?

Fine dining for special ocassions ler.. But other than that, use fingers also can lah!

Champagne or red wine?

Champagne of course! (Someone sponsor me?? :P)

Honeymoon right after the wedding or days after the wedding?

After the ceremony, dinner and all is over lah..

Money or household items?

I think I'm going to put up a list of things I need next time, and ppl can just buy me things that I need and if don't want to, money would do just as wonderful. =D

Who will pay for the bills?

I'll tell her.. lets share? But when I earn more than enough, I'll pay for it all lah.. hehe.. makes sense rite!

Are you ready for married life?

As of this moment, not yet lah.. First of all, financially not stable yet, and no job summore.. How lah.. haha..

Do you think you will still be a virgin until you get married?

YES!

Will you always be true to your wife/husband?

YES!

How many kids would you like to have?

2 would be enough =D But if God sends more, I'm sure we will welcome it with arms wide open. =D

A new house for a newly wed or an old one?

I should think new house lah.. But if old also.. it's okay.. as long as we have a place of shelter to make and call home.

What kind of cuisine would you like for your wedding?

Chinese 10 course meal (chinese tea and dessert is not a dish ok... )

Will you record your honeymoon in a CD or DVD?

Will need handycam leh.. Record where we went and all. It'd be cool!

Whose wedding plans would you like to know next?

1. Diane Teng
2. Audrey Kho
3. Tan Shea Teng
4. Jesse Yeo
5. Su Ee
6. Wei Zhu

Banana Leaf Rice

2008-12-14T23:47:00.001+08:00

I was just at this banana leaf rice place in Bangsar. I can't remember the name of the shop, but this is the first time in YEARS I see everyone in a banana leaf rice shop eating with fork and spoon. It's KL lah I guess. :p and yes.. the food is not as nice as when eaten with ye fingers! Hahaha! So.. I've been "Indianized" thanks to John, Vinod, Michelle, and Kana... Hmmmm....

Super Delicious Nasi Lemak!!

2008-12-12T01:52:00.001+08:00

Later that evening, John brought me to one of the best nasi lemak you can think of tasting lah... It's called restoran mana lagi.. This restaurant sells ONLY nasi lemak! The first time I've ever been to such a place... At first, I thought that it would just be some over rated nasi lemak.. coz.. how good can nasi lemak be? I stand corrected... I dun think the pictures here can describe the taste, so it's best if you just hop on Air Asia, get to Johor, and ask the taxi driver to bring you to "Restoran Mana Lagi".

Even a food hunting TV show in Singapore!

Here is how it looks like...

Yummy~!

Sick....

2008-12-11T19:15:00.002+08:00

I still have 2 blog posts sitting in Windows Live Writer.. waiting to be posted.. cause of some weird problem it's encountering, saying that it has problem posting to my blogpost.. So.. keep waiting for that...

Just a little update what has been happening... I was sick yesterday, really sick! Some terrible case of food poisoning, and I was basically vomitting and having diarrhea... =(
Anyhow, praise God that I'm all better now, and I can even sit here and blog! :P

oh.. I'm looking forward to go home sometime next week. So glad that at last, I can go back home to some Kuching laksa and "kolo mee"~!

Johor, sweet....

2008-12-11T12:46:00.000+08:00

So hor.. I just continue somewhere lah...

So.. that night we went to John's church, and after service, John's dad brought us to go eat lah, at first, the plan is to go eat wild boar and "biawak" lah.. but then tak jadi, so we went to another place lah...

John's church...

Dinner at some place lah.. The "kung pou kai" reali super nice!

John's dad, Uncle Edmund =D

Den after dinner, we went back to ZZzz lah.. Initial plan was to go play DOTA at JB's biggest cyber cafe, but we didn't go lah.. Both of us felt too tired to do anything much, so we went back to sleep.

The next day, we went to watch Quarantine at City Square. This place is so south, and so near to Singapore that the streets have a little feel of Singapore, and there are many many many Singaporeans in this part of Johor. At City Square, I tried this :

"Snow Ice"- Yummulicious ice-cold milk.

Guess who?

2008-11-30T17:18:00.001+08:00

ok.. I gotta skip a few days.. will go back and talk about the few days that i skip lah.. but but ... aiyah.. just guess who lah! (I put bigger pic de... so guess yah!)

To the SOUTH !!

2008-11-30T02:13:00.001+08:00

On the 26th Dec, we packed everything nicely into John's Wira, and we started the drive to Bukit Jalil, KL. Before reaching Bukit Jalil, we stopped for a little bit of "early breakfast" or "late supper" (whatever is ur preference lah) at MURNI (some sort of "high class" mamak; they practically have every kind of food you can think of, from clay pot lou shi fan, Roti Hawaii, Spaghetti Cabonara)

Then, after putting my things into Abby's place, we drove to Banting. When we reached there, it was about 7 am I think so we all went to sleep till about 2 pm lah... Then we went to a keropok heaven.. I think u can read about this in John's blog lah... And Xiao Qi, being so nice, "chia" all of us to a wonderful mountain of keropok. So, during lunch, we were trying to convince sweet Melissa to come with us to JB, and even called her mum to ask if she could come, but then leh, we failed lah... again, it's in John's blog. SO...

John and I sent Melissa to Subang, and then we went to Jamie's place, parked the car, put things in Jamie's room, and took the train to Pudu Raya. Had some super expensive Nga Pou Kai Fan, BUT it was nice lah! :P

SO hor we took the SS INTERNATIONAL bus to JB after that loh... The bus ride hor, like super long lah.. but talked to John a lot in the bus, and got to know a side of him I never knew. A very good side lah ah. not bad lah.. He's a very good person, loves Jesus... AND so coming back to the story... we reached John's home around.... (kenot rem time) so anyways, met John's mum, and she's a really super cool mum lah! That's all I can describe her. LoL!

Then we slept lah.... till very late the next day... that would be 28th Dec de... ok lah.. that's all i gonna tell for now.. Pictures and more stories in next post! so stay tuned!

Flight Landed

2008-11-21T05:47:00.001+08:00

Ate Madagascar style;
Sang, Rapped and Screamed,
To the hearts content and more.
Tunes from the east and west
It didn't matter.

Capturing MEMORIES
Treasuring the good times.
Visited the sweet lane in Ipoh
This would be the last time
We hang out together

A little celebratory wine
A bunch of buddies to share with
A small celebration it might have been
A celebration it still is

A prayer of thanks to God
For His everlasting love and faithfulness
And a toast to us, for completing it.

A long journey it has been,
But somehow we made it through
To all my friends, especially those in
ICT and BIS;
CONGRATULATIONS!

Today is Day 1

2008-11-20T03:16:00.001+08:00

November 20, 2008.

Indeed it's a day I should remember
Today is day 1 of finishing studies...

... for the time being

Today, I feel free... and it's time to pack things up and get ready to go!

Eating Habbits

2008-10-27T13:20:00.002+08:00

I've been having supper quite a bit lately, and this morning, when i got up earlier than usual for breakfast, I felt a little guilty and FAT. For some weird reason lah. but i got up anyways, and went. =)

Today, I went with Vinod, Kana and Melissa to the Tronoh market to have brekkie, and I had some really delicious "pan mee". Sort of flat shaped (i think hand made) noodles. I think i felt guilty coz i ate before I slept, and I got up to go eat, then after that coz still not enough sleep, I slept again till lunch time. So to get my system back in order, I'm gonna skip lunch. =D

Tagged 101?

2008-10-24T21:17:00.002+08:00

Been quite some time since I was last tagged.. this is from John.. and here goes

Part II
1. Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.

2. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 10 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state the rules clearly.

3. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.

4. No tags back!

so... here goes...

I recently realized I could sleep the whole day
I can't remember what day it is
I can't remember what day something happened
I have a particular liking for Penang, I just love it there
i LOVE eggs
I can sit in front of the computer the whole day and play WoW (last semester, not doing anymore. :P)
I sleep a lot (refer to no1)
I used to like a lot of food, like really really like them, but now I think my list is getting shorter and shorter...
I like to smell a lot of things... just curious what everything smells like..
I love to sweat, but i hate the sun, so I love saunas heaps!

Wow.. so hard to think of 10 weird stuff about myself.. so that's it..

I'm gonna tag....

Audrey!!
:P

Bak Kut Teh

2008-10-23T20:45:00.001+08:00

I had bak kut teh for dinner...

Darling is back~

2008-10-22T21:32:00.004+08:00

This week has been a strange week for me. I slept, most of it, and I can't remember much of it. I could remember the porridge tho... - The headaches that i had for the last few days have made me feel like time is indeed passing rather quickly. Swallowed panadol, and closed my eyes.. The next thing I know it's evening.

Today I got my darling back. I have yet to put her memory (HDD) back in there but I woke her up a little bit, just to make sure that everything was working fine. The technician told me they changed quite a number of things, which include the motherboard, GPU, and LCD screen. Amazingly, some of the dust that went with her, came back with her. Hmm... but anyhow, it all looks very wonderfully new~! Thanks to mum and dad for paying for the repairs. I really really like it heaps.. so I'm gonna use it for a few more years i think. =)

* * *

This week has been rather odd at times because sometimes, i think i'm talking to someone, but then i realize, it's actually someone else on the other side. Hmmmm... Maybe i should sue the internet for not being clear enough with me who I am talking to.. Haha..

Alright, I guess I should get back to my preparation for my oral presentation tomorrow.

- -- -

P/S: muhps.

Bo mood

2008-10-15T01:02:00.000+08:00

Today i just feel bo mood. Dunno why. Mebi I know but I just dun want to know, so I tell myself I dunno. Anyways, my darling is coming back on monday (according to Dell) so I got something to look forward to next week.

Exam time table out de, I think I'll finish on the 19th Nov. Cool eh?! I want to go home, I also want to go to Bangkok. Which leh? Help me decide! =)

In a Flash

2008-10-06T18:36:00.002+08:00

September came and went like a breeze, now, it's October. I didn't even realize it's another month already. Pre-EDX is just one day away... It will hit me like a train traveling at top speed. The short break had been short - too short. I want more, I feel like I need more. Preparing the software, preparing the posters, finals are coming soon too. What should I do?

The struggle is ongoing, I can only make it with Christ.

Awesome one

2008-09-23T16:46:00.003+08:00

I was at the Passion world tour in KL a few months back, and Pastor Louie said something about a video titled Indescribable.

Last week, I had the opportunity to watch it.

I was awestruck.

Speechless, amazed and in awe.

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name
You are amazing God

All powerful, untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart, Yet you love me the same
You are amazing God
~Indescribable by Chris Tomlin~

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? - Isaiah 40:12

Many Wishes

2008-09-13T20:10:00.005+08:00

I wished many things today. Must be cause I didn't have much to do today...

I wish that I could finish my FYP instantly. I wished that I could go to bed earlier, and start my days earlier. I wished that I knew God's heart deeply. I wish that I could be home. I wished that phone calls were not so expensive. I wished that it's the end of the year, and she's here with me. I wished that I didn't spend my day just sleeping. I wished that I could find the mail she sent. I wished that I could feel Father walking with me. Haih... Going to do something about it..

+1

2008-09-13T14:09:00.004+08:00

I had a wonderful day yesterday. The "wonderfulness" started around midnight of Sept 11th. I want to thank everyone who made it extra fun and special for me.

An angel called from sooo far away and with her angels sang over the phone!
3 hair styling professionals came into my room and shampooed my hair for me.
Mum and dad and sis for calling
Had a good chat with a good friend till the sun came up
Derrick for insisted on having a birthday dinner
Jack who helped organize the whole thing
Jack, Elvina, Melvin, Soonie, Debbie, Melvin, Derrick, Jesse, Kevin, Jackie, Jia Ann and Pkiat who all came together to celebrate with me
Everyone who called; Charles, Chung....
Everone who texted their wishes...
Everyone who wished me personally...

Thank everyone who remembered my birthday!! This birthday has been a wonderful one, and it lacked nothing except for a birthday cake, but I don't really fancy it... so it doesn't matter.. Really glad to have friends who made yesterday special.

Thank you all, thank God for surrounding me with such wonderful friends and families, and I appreciate everything that happened yesterday.

Looking Ahead

2008-09-06T21:42:00.002+08:00

2008-09-02T11:19:00.003+08:00

There, you missed it!

Time passes so quickly now that I believe we should not even blink if we want to witness everything. Every second that passes cannot be repeated. Cherish every moment that brings a smile to your face, for it's those moments that count.

* * *

In a blink, a year has passed,

The past still haunting,

Even this season is about to pass by.

Each day I have with you, I will cherish.

In a blink, the weather changes,

A smile turns upside down.

The tears that were shed should have dried up,

It is time to turn things around.

In a blink, the last chapter is drawn,

The readers ask if there will be a second book.

Even if the story is about to end,

The last chapter will be the best.

In a blink, I will fade away,

and all these things will matter no more.

Like a flower quickly fading, here today gone tomorrow.

So watch while the blossoms still bloom.

Curse da rain

2008-08-25T11:35:00.002+08:00

It rained suddenly, and I didn't close my window, so my laptop got wet, reali wet I think, by the time I reached my room, it was already dry, but my laptop seem to hold on just enough to say goodbye to me, before i turn it off, and forever, it is off. Still duno what spoilt, and I'm gonna call Dell ASAP to get it fixed.

Praise God that my HDD was still working, so means all data is still safe in my HDD.

Anyways, I'm mourning for my lappie. So sad.. so very sad. Feel like my heart is torn, and scarred forever.

T_____T

I hate rusing, and sudden rains.. Super bad combination... :P

This Morning

2008-08-20T23:33:00.000+08:00

Was wet, cold and super cozy for sleep. I slept through the whole morning! When I got up, I sat there thinking to myself, what am I doing here?

Fast Lane

2008-08-19T09:20:00.000+08:00

I've been eating instant noodles for the past few meals. Nothing more than that, and all other instant kind of food. I should get out and have something fresh today!

PASSION - Kuala Lumpur

2008-08-04T18:27:00.003+08:00

**sATurday Night**

The night before, I didn't sleep, I went to bed at about 4 am in the morning after putting my laundry up to dry. Set 4 alarm times, then took a short moment and prayed that God will wake me up to get ready to leave for the drive down to KL.

**sUNday Morning**

Got up at 8.50, then rushed to get ready to leave UTP. The drive was kinda long lah... John, Melissa and myself kinda got nothing much to talk about after brunch and we started talking about having costume parties in church! Anyways, we made it to KL at around lunch time.

We spent the afternoon, walking around Sunway Pyramid, shopping (window shopping lah), eating, and *pause* Show la pictures of lunch first...

This is what Melissa ordered, Chicken and something Cannelloni

Soft shell crab spaghetti

and Chicken Cannelloni (very creamy pasta)

John going to eat...

John distracted by Melissa

Then poses for the picture

SO... after lunch, we walked around summore, looked for Jack, went to the toilet, and I tried to meet up with the Bethany gang before the conference was a total failure lah. Didn't know where they were, and somehow we were just going different directions

At around 4 pm, people were already lining up waiting to get into the conference hall. By 5 pm, I was there with the Bethany "crowd". So glad to see all of them again. Just had a few minutes of catching up and after taking a few photos and more waiting and sweating, we were running (not running la.. just pushed everyone in front through the gate faster) with the crowd into the conference hall.

*my eyes look super small.. >< (The pic is kinda blur so please dun enlarge.. thanks)

Chia Ming helped us take a few pictures... *Just make sure can see the Passion banner ya..*

Jack and Mark

The place was buzzing with excitement, and I was excited too, but I didn't know about what. I wanted to know what God is going to do in the conference that night. Will it be just another concert, another conference?

After Chris Tomlin lead the first few songs, Louie came up to introduce us to Passion and what they are all about. When he got us to pray in groups of three, I could feel the presence of God so strong in that place, and I knew that God wanted to do something there, that God is going to do something in that conference that night.

The sermon that night was short and it was about grace, what we could not do, God did for us. And also a little part about why we are crazy sometimes, and I mean CRAZY! It really changed my perception about shouting, jumping and praising God in a way that we express ourselves to the ultimate, because God showed us His ULTIMATE love.

The message of God's grace was one that I have heard much, one that I have been very careful around, and last night, I realized the grace for me was as great as the grace He showed to other people. I have always felt inferior, and wanted more attention from God, like I wanted God to highlight me or something like that, but last night I realized that God has already loved me so much, I am already highlighted. I am already in His priority list, just as everyone else is. We are all important, and I feel that until we realize that for ourselves, we will never understand it no matter how many times people tell us.

Ashley's story was one that touched the core of my heart. Sometimes, I feel myself as such a "screw up" and doubt if God can forgive someone like me, or can accept someone like me, or change someone like me? The answer is YES He can, YES He can, YES He can! Ashley's life in Christ might be short in our eyes, but it accounted for much, it made Jesus known, she lived a life that made Jesus famous.

That was our prayer that night, that we would live a life that shines the name of Jesus, that we live a life worthy of Christ.

Isaiah 26:8 -

Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.

Yes God, for Your name and renown are the desires of my heart.

In a sentence, I would say the conference was awesome, life changing, heart changing, a reminder of why I go to church every Sunday, why I want to live my life as a Christian.

After the messages, we had more music, praising, and worshipping and praying for the city. God is awesome!

We came, we saw, and we were changed!

Greater things are yet to come, greater things are yet to be done.

God is the God of KL, the God of this nation, Malaysia!

P/S: Jakarta, we are praying for you! May God do in your hearts what he has done in ours...and may you rise up too as a generation for your city and your nation!

Kuching

2008-07-15T00:51:00.001+08:00

I miss Kuching not just because of home, the food, or the weather not even the lovely atmosphere in Kuching. But it is the fellowship, the friends that I have back home.

You guys are always real, so godly, and genuine. Missing all of you already.

*wanted to put a picture, but I remembered.. I've lost ALL my pictures.. all I have are the Bako trip.. :(

Getaway

2008-07-10T16:36:00.001+08:00

I had a chance to be away from everything for a short few days during my trip back home. 7 of us, took a weekend off at the Bako National Park, and we sure did have a blast of a time. Weird, we never took a group photo together outside the boat, but anyways, I just want to share some photos and some of the wonderful time and things I had the chance to experience during the few days there.

All of us, from front left, Shellyn, Emily, Amanda (still shy), Leslie, Angelia, myself and I don't know where in the world Tasha is... Tasha?? Still in da boat a not???

Ah... Itu dia.. Tasha!! ( and Amanda.. now can see face)

Us experiencing Zero G.

The crew has landed...

On the way to "base camp"

We were greeted first by these friendly monkeys...

Barely an hour after checking in, we hiked to another beach, 2 hours away...

2 hour hike... very far lei...

At the "peak" a viewing hut...

Oh ya.. on the way, we met a few Japanese... Turned out to be professional photographers! Can't show face la.. later I kena sue...

Now, the down part.. we're reaching soon!!!

Yep... soon.. soon.. Just a little while..

Shell: So hungry aaaa.. I eat grass first!

Amanda: ...

Yea!!! we can see the beach liao! Woohoo!! But it's like 30 meters down there!! Since the view is so great.. take pictures first...

Heading down to the beach...

AT LAST!!!

On the way back to the "base camp"

Later that evening... The sunset scenery was amazing!

All thanks to Shell for planning out the trip, getting all of us to go and making it happen! I want to say thanks to everyone else who went that made this trip as fun as it is, made it so special and something I would treasure in my heart. Thank you all! I'll be missing you guys. Till we meet again, continue to love God, serve Him, and be a humble servant wherever you are!

"Work"

2008-06-17T13:48:00.001+08:00

I've been "working" at Bethany, volunteering at the Home. It has been so rewarding, I feel so fulfilled, overjoyed! It's so great not just because I get to meet so many people, but serving God just ultimately fulfilling.

Today is ultimately different. I started off the day drowsy, having very little sleep, I got up to shower and left the house by 8.10. At 9 am, the three of us, Shellyn, Emily and myself met up with Pastor for breakfast at the famous Chong Chun. I had LAKSA and TEH C PENG!

Ultimately, I find myself walking closer to Father. Even though the days are tiring, and sweaty (the office kinda hot laa :p) it is so much fun. I'm on a journey to find myself in Father again. =D Really wish I can just stop studying and just serve here.

Lord, show me Your desires, my life is Yours and the cry of my heart is to bring You praise.

Trying too hard

2008-06-12T10:07:00.001+08:00

I was driving home just now and the radio was playing the song form The Click Five. I'm not sure of the title but it goes something like "we're trying too hard, but it's empty". I just find this song so true, there are like so many couples out there trying so hard at their relationships, doing things that amount to nothing. So yea... people.. don't waste time on doing things that don't matter in relationships, but do things that matter, like relating to one another, connecting with one another... :)

Cheers~

2008-05-15T17:26:00.001+08:00

This picture was taken in the dark, with no flash, just very dim lights coming from the stage during COP farewell night. The object of the photograph are Stella and Edrea, both holding one camera to film the onstage performance. I thought that it is very interesting to see two people holding up one camera thus, I just held up my camera, set the shutter speed to the slowest but most acceptable speed, held my breath (to keep myself still la!) and snapped! The initial picture was pitch black, but with a layer of filled lights, it turned out to be a work of art. Looks like a painting, but it's not, it has been edited with my amateur Photoshop skills.

Pretty cool eh!?

Quickly Fading

2008-05-15T16:33:00.003+08:00

Who am I?

That the Lord if all the earth,

Would care to know my name,

Would care to feel my hurt.

Who am I?

That the bright and morning star,

Would choose to light my way,

For my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,

But because of what You've done.

Not because of what I've done,

But because of who You are.

I am a flower quickly fading,

Here today and gone tomorrow,

A wave tossed in the ocean,

A vapor in the wind.

Still You hear me when I'm calling,

Lord, You catch me when I'm falling,

And You've told me who I am,

I am yours.

Who am I?

That the eyes that see my sin

Would look on my with love

And watch me rise again.

Who am I?

That the voice that calmed the sea,

Would call out through the rain,

And calm the storm in me.

Who am I ?- Casting Crowns

* * *

This song has very beautiful lyrics. I love the part where it goes to say that we are fragile and we can fade anytime. Like a flower that is here today, gone tomorrow; a wave in the ocean, a vapor in the air. Indeed we are fragile and so small. In the bible it says that all the waters in the world can be held in the hollow of God's palm. Who am I that God should be mindful of me?

I feel very humbled, our great God who is so huge and mighty, beyond my comprehension calls me His son! His grace, I cannot fully comprehend, the way he forgives me, I am forever grateful. It is very true, every single word of this song. Who am I, when I call upon His name, He would answer me, that when I fall, His hands will never be too slow to catch me.

I love you. I love you. I love you. Father, I love you.

Unending

2008-05-02T20:22:00.001+08:00

I've been loitering around in my room today. Thoughts running through my head, the music seem to keep me sane. The thought of what is coming ahead - 3 weeks of exams. I fear I will lose my sanity.

This semester is a totally gloomy semester. I really want to get out of here quick. Even the thought of being in UTP for another semester makes me feel like it will never end.

I want to go home!!!

1 more month... hang on.. hang on... it's not over yet...

Seasons

2008-05-02T18:15:00.001+08:00

The seasons change,

Time passes never to turn back.

Have I changed?

Looking for the strength to move ahead.

I find myself alone.

I never expected this to come.

Looked for something

Unsure of what is to come.

Assured myself that it will be better

I had doubts that made Thomas a believer.

I held on to nothingness.

For all that I held on to have become distant.

The seasons change,

Thus far I have walked.

Why does my heart falter?

Brighter days are ahead.

I assured myself...

Once the winter has gone by,

Spring shall come again.

When will spring come, I wonder.

Rush

2008-05-02T02:01:00.001+08:00

Another MUST watch movie! In the midst of my running around, rushing, burning midnight lamps, I watched this movie. Part by part, I slowly watched it, but during the interesting parts, I couldn't help myself but watch much more.

This movie is also a very touching movie, I had to force the emotions away to prevent tears from rolling out.

This movie is one that all music loves will not want to miss out. The soundtracks were awesome, and very very very creative. Very much like a fairy tale. Regardless, it is not one of those movies you watch and forget, but one you will remember in your heart for a long long time.

I need

2008-04-28T02:29:00.001+08:00

someone to listen to me complain

someone to pour my heart to

someone to hold the line on the other side and not say anything

someone to spend a few silent moments with

Microscopic

2008-04-28T02:27:00.001+08:00

It is a feeling I cannot describe.

I don't know what I am looking for.

I just feel empty.

I can't sleep.

I just feel empty.

The finals blues?

The Vow

2008-04-28T01:56:00.002+08:00

Taking it for granted,

Being too comfortable,

In a place where I feel I do not need you,

I strayed.

You called me many times,

I told myself that I must not leave you.

Yet my feet walked a different direction.

I desired to do what I wasn't doing.

I did what my selfishness wanted.

I thought I was safe

For I always played at the border.

I played with sparks, which started a small fire.

I enjoyed the warmth that it gave.

I knew what was coming,

Still, I chose to lay beside the fire.

When I awoke, the fire had surrounded me.

I knew it was coming.

I didn't call out to you, for I know I should be responsible.

I have forgotten your goodness while I struggled

With my own strength, I tried

I tried and tried, I pushed, I crawled,

I knew I needed your help.

Little did I know,

Your hands were always near me,

Ready to lift me from the flames.

For when I called your name, You saved me.

Then I remembered your words

"I will never leave you,

Nor will I ever forsake you"

I now know, this journey is not a short one.

Though I want it to be, I have to persevere.

The struggles are not short lived.

Though you have saved me from the flames,

I must keep myself from the matches that started them.

I am weak, but in you, I am strong.

The Sky

2008-04-28T01:41:00.001+08:00

When you left, the atmosphere felt like

I was a kite, searching for a dream,

The sky after the rain, will it have the radiance of a sunshine?

I silently stared at the sky, searching for the emotions of being lost.

But I can only smile, hoping for the rainbow after the rain.

Final Year

2008-04-24T22:42:00.001+08:00

This year is the last year of my degree. I certainly hope that it will end this year. I don't think I can take it anymore. I feel like I have lost all desire to excel, I don't see the point in doing well anymore. Sometimes, I just don't care. All I want is go home, and not be responsible over anything. But I know I can't do that. Taking responsibility for your own life is not easy.

I used to think it's so super cool to grow up and take charge of your own life. Yes, it is in a sense, you get to decide for yourself, you get to choose what you want to do (to some extent) and you are responsible for every action that you take.

I need Your grace to get up again. I have lost faith even in myself. The finals for this semester is coming. I really need to do well. I can't just give up when I'm so near to finishing it. Help me persevere. Grant me strength.

"Let not my will be done, but Yours."

2008-04-12T15:58:00.002+08:00

It's not easy waiting and being unsure of what you are waiting for. Sometimes you feel afraid that what you are waiting for might not actually be there at all.

* * *

I have been running towards you, I have been trying to be brave and tell you up front, but I fear that I might cause you to run even further. Have I waited too long? Am I too late?

For more than four years, I've hoped, I've put fourth all that I have, I've thrown in all my pieces. I want to reach out to you, but I'm afraid I will cause you to run even further. Have I waited too long? Am I too late?

When I first knew you, your words comforted me, your words made me feel warmth. Now I feel you so distant, I wished I had done a little more, I wished that I had given myself a chance when I had the chance. But I was afraid, that I will cause you to run even further. Have I waited too long? Am I too late?

Have I waited too long? Am I too late? I just want to know Sher, Have I waited too long? Am I too late?

2 movies that gripped my heart

2008-04-01T23:52:00.001+08:00

Last Friday was movie night. The movie title - Facing the giants.

Only one comment, watch it, please do. I'm the kind of guy who don't cry when I watch touching movies, but this movie, gripped my heart, the messages so strong, I had to struggle so hard to hold my tears back. (It's a Christian movie by the way.. and it's not any ordinary Christian movie, it's a movie that described how great is our God.)

Movie 2- The Mist

The first time, I felt so emotional, I felt so into the movie.

In the end, all I could do was scream. Literally scream...

Oh yeah.. do watch it too.

Good night.

2008-03-17T19:48:00.001+08:00

Without you.

I feel lost.

I have no direction.

I miss you, I do.

2008-03-10T01:59:00.001+08:00

I miss you...

Pause

2008-03-09T00:15:00.001+08:00

Just a little bit of time for me to catch my breath, and get things in order again. Taking a few days off the hectic schedule of studies, lectures, assignments, projects, tutorials, tests, games, prayer meets... It really drains, but without which, I guess life would be pretty mundane, empty.

Yesterday, 5 of us went out celebrating. The mid term break has just started, at around 6 in the evening, we headed out of UTP. I was feeling a little drained from all the activity in the morning, and the lack of the sleep made it worse. Nevertheless, I was determined to have some time of fun, and just enjoying myself.

2 + 1 was the destination. After stuffing out stomachs with extra pork, chicken, mutton, and tom yam soup, we headed to Ipoh Parade for 10 000 B.C..

After purchasing 5 tickets, we headed for bowling. Hehehe.. Well, I felt a little proud of myself that night, as I scored a few strikes! After the 2 games, as we were walking out, I realized that my legs hurt from all the bending.. Must be the wrong posture.

The movie was very entertaining, I would say it's a 4 star movie. Something definitely worth going to the cinema for.

The holidays are here! God is indeed awesome!

I did it!

2008-03-05T21:14:00.002+08:00

The rain poured- I was drenched

The wind raged like a tornado was building

I reached the office, dripping...

I gave him my matrix number, and got my slip.

My fingers were so wet, I was afraid I'd ruin the print.

I wiped my hands on my wet clothes, trying to dry them.

I opened the slip as carefully as my hands could

I peeped inside, to see the grade..

This is my first perfect score. I did it.

Thank you God. Praise be unto you God. Through your guidance and grace, I did well, I did wonderful. Praise You.

It's March already!

29th Feb, we celebrated it with a few clinks, and a lot of laughs.

The 29 days, has been very eventful. Life changing moments, moments that make me think about what I'm doing here, moments that I will appreciate all my life, moments worth all the treasures of this world.

Final year of undergraduate studies. I wish it was not as hectic. Just one more year, I need all my faith in Christ to get through this. I have got to get through this, the last mile - the last ounce of strength I have left, I must strive on.

The sun sets, and rises again. So must I, when I fall, to rise again. The weight seems to overwhelm, I should throw away dead weight and take on "God weight". Things I realise, but I have no action.

2 Weeks ago, we joined COP Ipoh for their CNY service. So many people performed so many things, like singing, dancing, and even opera! It's my first time, seeing the old stage performance.

The service was great, and the real reason to celebrate was that through this service, about 10 people gave their lives to Christ! It's really amazing how God can touch people's lives through the performances, the simple sermon. Yeah, God is God!

* * *

It was Boss Teng's brithday last week. We celebrated with him at KFC. All of us stuffed our stomach so full of chicken that I have a feeling that none of us will ever go to KFC the next few months!

March is here! Exams are coming too. It's so busy, hectic, sometimes unfulfilling, but I thank God for the good times, I give Him praise for the good things that come my way, I thank Him for the times when He held me up during my trials.

Faraway

2008-02-27T14:23:00.001+08:00

I sent you off, a thousand miles away.

You didn't say anything.

I guess during this silent era

We should avoid a distant relationship

I sent you away, to the ends of the earth.

Are you still there?

I will use this lifetime to wait for you

-Abstract from Faraway by Jay Chao-

Take me away

2008-02-26T14:17:00.001+08:00

This time, all I want is your love

This time, I ask for nothing less

This void is eating me whole

The doctor diagnosed me with a deadly disease

Curing it depends on my determination

It's called procrastination

I called up the ticketing agent

For a flight to a place

Where I don't have to struggle like this

Won't you take me away - I asked

But you said to me

Be strong and courageous

Like a door on it's hinges

2008-02-20T11:11:00.001+08:00

There's so much to do, but I don't feel like doing any of them. I kind of miss my internship time now. Arrrr.. I better get back to doing my report.

I doubted

2008-02-11T22:34:00.001+08:00

I forgot Your goodness to me.

I forgot of Your faithfulness.

I doubted You. I remembered Your words.

but I didn't believe them totally.

* * *

Thank You Father for Your goodness

Your forgiveness. I must not take them for granted.

Festivities

2008-02-09T14:44:00.001+08:00

The week just happened so quickly, so fast, so - fast. I'm back in KLIA again. Going back to UTP tonight. It's difficult to even imagine myself going back to my books *I haven't bought any!*

The feeling was different this year, the excitement and "buzz" of the Chinese New Year wasn't as much as it used to be. It's more of a time where we all make an extra effort to be home and be with our families and meet up with friends who most of them we have not seen for quite some time.

New year's eve seem a little quiet with sis not being home. Never realized how much a difference she makes when she's around. This year, it seems a little extra quiet. Che, next year must be home for CNY ok?

Last night, Che Chung, Pei Sing, Chris, Dennis, Yong Shen, Joshua, Cheryl and myself went to watch CJ7. The movie was really funny, very much like most of the other Stephen Chow movies, but this movie really had some good messages behind it, that even without material riches, our hearts and lives can be rich when we are honest, kind and loving.

* * *

My first FYP title proposal got rejected. This Monday, I'm going to see my lecturer to see what other options I have got. She said not to worry, I won't worry - cause I know my God is still in control. I have to trust God to bring me through my final year in university.

Life seem to have taken a huge turn, like something has changed so tremendously. I suddenly realize that there are so many things I have to be responsible for in the near future. Sometimes thinking of them, I feel so small and incapable. One thing I have is my hope in Christ Jesus.

Dinner at Secret Garden

Whee! CNY lor!!

I helped "make" this tree. nice rite! =D

ON ah!! Higher, Higher!

Nien nien yu yue! Happy Chinese new year!

Dial-up

2008-02-04T01:25:00.001+08:00

I spend like 60% of my time just waiting for the page to load.

*sweat* *sweat* *sweat*

...

Die.

2008-02-04T00:18:00.001+08:00

You said that it's okay if I can't make it today.

No it is not... It will be another year then..

You asked me if it's troublesome.

I will go across continents just to see you.

Travelling

2008-02-02T00:24:00.000+08:00

I travelled much, to places anew and to places that I have known so well. The journey home was one I have been looking forward to the whole week. The very thought of just being home was more exciting than the thought of being home for CNY.

I left my university at around 10 am in a taxi. The taxi driver was a friendly old man who drove me down to the bus station and along the way he kept talking to me in Mandrin. I conversed the best I could in broken Mandrin and used Chinese dialects whenever I was lost for words. It sometimes is a little embarrassing being a Chinese and not knowing my own race's language and there are foreigners who can converse in Mandrin better than me! *sweat*

At around 11 am, I reached the Medan Gopeng Bus Station. The express bus to KLIA left the station at around 11.30 and the whole ride was uneventful. That's why I hate travelling alone. The journey is always uneventful and QUIET. Well, it was a good time for me to nap, and so anyway I got to the airport safe, sound and BLUR. I felt like a zombie carrying my bags to the check-in counter. It has been quite a long time since I took a MAS flight so when I got to the departure level, I walked straight to the first MAS check-in counter I saw and said in a confident tone - Flight MH 2534, I know my flight is many hours from now, but can I check-in now? The attendant at the counter didn't even look at me and asked "Where is your flight to again?" I was thinking like "huh? now all the same one meh?" - "Kuching" was all I said. She smiled at me the sweetest smile could smile and directed me to the domestic flight check-in counters because I was at the international flights check-on counters. *malunye*

Once I got my luggage checked-in, my next mission was getting to Klang to meet up with Sher, then get back to KLIA before 9.45 for my flight! I took the KLIA Express train that goes down to KL Sentral in 28 minutes. The thing about this train is that it is expensive but it is ON TIME and very accurate. I timed the ride down, and it was exactly 28 minutes just as they say it is, unlike the KTM trains that travel at an unbelievably slow speeds. The KTM train ride from KL Sentral to Klang took about 1 hour! *Uggh!* By the time I reached Klang it was already nearly 6 pm! I didn't want to miss my flight and I knew that the only way I can make it in time back to KLIA is if I leave Klang by 7.30! Man.. I travelled so far but I can only meet Sher for like 1 pathetic hour~! Anyways the four of us - Mun Khea, Mun Wah, Sher Ri and myself - had "dinner" at a place called "Fruity". Haha. The name of the place gave me the impression that the place serves drinks and foods that have some funny fruit flavour in it. When we walked into the place, the smell reminded me of Starbucks. The wonderful and delicious aroma of coffee! The menu is something so different, they serve a wide range of food from pasta to chicken grills and cheese cakes! They recommended me the Grilled chicken, Traditional Tomato and cheese Spaghetti, and a very different Thai Spaghetti. I tried the spaghetti and I have to agree with them that the spaghetti is really very nice at only RM 10++

The trip back to KLIA from Klang was one where I find myself thinking so much about something that I don't pay much attention to whatever that is happening around me. I guess partly also it was because I was already really very drained physically and all I could want to do was to get home quickly. When I was about to boarding the plane, I suddenly remembered, I forgot to take a picture with Sher! Man.. travelled so far to see her then didn't even remember to take a picture. Walao eh... The flight back wasn't very pleasant at all. I couldn't sleep and there were times when I felt like I was going to throw up! I sat beside a man in his early 50's and he has to put his hands on the arm rest so much to my side that I could hardly sit comfortably! MAS flights are better??? I think sometimes only lah.. the coolest part is that you get to have unlimited flow of orange juice throughout the flight while in the Air Asia flight, you would have to pay like RM6 for a carton of juice!

I couldn't be any happier when I heard the pilot announcing that we were about to land and that we have to be buckled up in our seats. The flight felt like it was a 3 hour flight but it was actually just 1 hour 45 minutes. When I cleared from the immigration, I told myself "Yes! I'm home!!!" - So nice to be back home... Reaching home about 1 am in the morning, I showered, and went to bed. I hope the week would be spent well, and that this year's celebration will be filled with much joys!

*Cheers* - To a wonderful holiday and joyous Chinese New Year celebration!

GONG XI FA CHAI !

I'm coming home!

2008-02-01T21:44:00.001+08:00

I love traveling, especially traveling home.

I just reached KLIA about 10 minutes ago. Man, this is so cool. Alas! Home. HOME! Really looking forward to my own bed, and I really hope that I can use the car when I get home lah. Hehe.

To all of you guys, Happy Chinese New year!

Uni life

2008-01-22T03:29:00.001+08:00

Yep, I'm back in UTP already. Moving really kills and preparing for FYP sucks. Choosing a title. Since when is choosing a topic so difficult? I'm most probably going to be doing my project alone and I really hate doing projects alone. I just don't like to do everything by myself. It just totally sucks.

Here I am, blogging at 3 am in the morning, when I have a 10 am lecture which I must attend, and there seems to be clashes. Argh! I just don't like this - beginning of a semester. How I wish I can have things much easier.

Well, I better get it done on the excel and print it out tomorrow.

The Moving

2008-01-15T16:11:00.001+08:00

Good bye Penang, hello Tronoh. I traveled in total about 460 KM yesterday and today.

Upon reaching UTP after a brief stop in Ipoh for my speakers and printer from Alan's house, I went straight to V5A, parked my (rented) car and went to get the room keys. I had to wait for almost an hour and after making calls to nearly all my university friends who will be around this semester (looking for housemates) I managed to find myself a house with a few friends.

It's in Block C, level 4 (3rd floor). When I parked my car as close as I could to the block, I looked up and thought to myself "How to bring so many things so high???"

I amazed myself at the amount of things that I carried up to the 3rd floor of our university hostel. It's really exhausting. When I first entered the room, the only thing what went through my mind was - "Crap, the room so dirty and so smelly!! Haiyoh..." Even the switches are stained. The room looked like it's never been cleaned for years. The whole house had a stench, some kind of musky smell. Really very disgisting. I just couldn't stand it, I decided not to spend the night in the room until I get it cleaned up and fresh! After more than an hour of dragging things up to my room, I locked the door, secured it with a pad lock and went off to Gunung Rapat for a night's rest.

The rest house in Gunung Rapat is really cheap, just RM 35 for a room, and in the room, it's air conditioned, has a hot shower and a TV! What more can you ask for at RM 35!

Now, I'm back here in Penang for 1 last night. My room is empty, with just my mattress to sleep on tonight. Tomorrow I'd be in UTP again.

It's over

2008-01-11T11:30:00.000+08:00

Today, is a day to remember. A day when I said many thank you's and many good byes. This day is the day when I completed my internship training at Agilent Penang. It has been a totally wonderful eight months in Penang.

There's so much more that I want to say, but I really need to get my packing done. Good bye Penang... I will miss you much, so I definitely will be back for more!

I dare not

2008-01-08T23:36:00.001+08:00

There are many things I want to ask you...

But I dare not ask

There are many things I want to give you...

But I dare not give them to you

I want to talk to you everyday

But I do not have a reason to

I constantly question myself why?

An answer I have not.

I struggle everyday.

How I wish things would be much simpler.

But they say patience is a virtue

I would wait my whole life for you,

Even if there is a dim ray of hope

I will certainly hold on to that hope.

Goodbye.. I'll miss you...

2008-01-08T01:33:00.001+08:00

Penang...

I will definitely miss you...

I will miss you for the way you make me feel.

I will miss the fun places like QBM, Perangin, Gurney, Auto City...

I will miss looking at you who is so familiar yet always seem so new.

I will miss you for the way even the simplest food that you cook up seem so special.

This is my last week here in Penang. Now I wish that it will not end so soon. Going back to UTP, I will miss all the wonderful delicious food in Penang!!! Arrrgh!! It's just two hours away.. but.. it's still FAR... Penang hawkers... they are the best weh... I don't even miss food from my hometown... *sob*

It's the end of my internship! No more going to work from 8 am to 5 pm... No more writing programs, no more meeting with people just to have a 30 minute discussion about one issue, no more sneaking out of the office early, no more going out for lunch in all the wonderful eating places in Penang and even getting bored with the wonderful food.... Aaaaa.. I will miss the food here the most!

Going back to studying, is not going to be easy. I just hope that things will really get better in UTP. I hope that it will not be the same as the precious semesters... A better final year in UTP!

Just another day?

2008-01-01T15:03:00.001+08:00

Yesterday night, Eilyn was saying that 2008 is just another year, just another day... and we'd be back to work the day after new year's day... Yah.. I guess it's true, but I also feel that it is important to see the new year as a mile stone, something to look forward to, something new!

Well, I'm about to leave Penang, and of course, I can't resist it when Felix invited me to join them at Tao 2 nights ago. I ate, and I ate, and I ate a lot of fishes! The flu didn't stop me from eating my fill of good fish! Hehehe..

From left >>> me, Felix, Yeng

Gary n Tsae Ying

Scallops!!! (they're gone actually.. I ate them.. > <)

Ah.. very memorable place.. hehe..

Actually Suet Yeng put on some really great makeup.. but black n white.. kenot see lah.. haha...

Last night.. we went to Pizza Hut to celebrate the new year. Somehow, we managed to get everyone in the picture! haha...

Last but not least, we had a toast to the new year... with something from the down under...

Cheers! To a wonderful new year, and may this year be a year filled with God's favor, and just like Pastor said in his sms. "May we flavor the earth as salt of the earth and shine our light into the world as the light of the world"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Desperate

2007-12-30T16:50:00.000+08:00

Getting up is never easy, especially if you have fallen a million times. I find myself at this place right now, like I'm beginning to accept it to be part of my life. But I know You didn't call me to a life of compromising, a life of defeat. You have won the victory, why am I not able to hold on to it?

I am not brave enough to go through this alone. I am weak, I know, I acknowledge that. I need you! I always want to go home because I know, I can find strength when I'm home. What should I do? I can't keep running and running... Help me... I'm looking for a miraculous change that I know I shouldn't look for. Help me change my mind set, renew my mind from this corruption. I need You afresh God!

Just like Tattoo

2007-12-26T20:25:00.001+08:00

Sometimes I want to move on
I find it too difficult to even forget you

You have a place in my heart, always... forever.

Your name, I will always remember
Your smile, I can never forget

You can't be removed, Just like tattoo.

The Interval

2007-12-26T19:21:00.001+08:00

If you have realized, I've just published a few posts today, well, they are actually posts written during my time at home. I was not able to post them because of the dial-up that my mum is still using.

Well, the flight to KL seemed to really suck. I just didn't want to leave home so soon. Sitting here, I look forward to my next break, on February.

The six days seem to fly by, but I must say, they are well spent. Catching up with so many people, meeting up and just connect with one another for even a moment, felt really great for me. I guess the best time was when a few of us went to have dinner at Batu Lintang.

Christmas service was really great too. I had the opportunity to share what I felt Christmas was too! Of course, after the service ended, it's time for photos!!

After recovering from the blinding flashes, we proceeded to Shellyn's house and ended the day at Li Ern's house. Well, naturally, visiting means FOOD, FOOD, FOOD and FUN!

Cheers to JESUS!

Yong Shen: I got sorethroat... BUT I can't help myself!!!

Chris: MMhmm (mouth too full to talk)... (mumble mumble mumble.. )

Beautiful sisters!

I wonder how did this start?? During Christmas visiting??

Joseph: Harder lah! No feel wan...

That's most of what I did in Kuching. Dinner, breakfast, lunch, and dinner again.. The cycle seems to never end. It certainly great to be home! Looking forward to CNY dee.. Hehe.. A good 6 days of no worries, and just great fellowship.

Want to thank my parents for buying me the tickets to go home this time. Really appreciate it!

Listerine

2007-12-26T18:25:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, I proved to myself that the mouthwash - Listerine is really potent. : - As I was having my shower, I saw something black wiggling around near the drain hole of the shower. I couldn't be sure what it was, but I guessed it must be a worm. So I took some Listerine, and poured it on the "worm". I saw it wiggle, wiggle, then after a few moments, the worm stopped moving. After I put on my glasses, I could see that it was a centipede, about 7 - 8 centimeters long, DEAD! So.. if it could kill a centipede, be sure never to swallow your mouthwash, and be sure, be rest assured that when you use Listerine, your mouth is really clean. It is VERY clean!

Cheryl

2007-12-26T18:25:00.001+08:00

She's a great friend

A wonderful prayer partner

A teacher she will be,

A good teacher, I know she is.

She has a heart for the lost

A desire to see them saved

Wherever she goes, hearts are touched

Lives are changed.

She might look harmless

BUT she packs a PUNCH!

Where she set her feet on

She makes an impact, no one can deny.

Keep on shining for Jesus wherever you will be che'

The Lord is your strength and your shield!

Home

2007-12-26T18:23:00.001+08:00

I looked forward to this day full of anticipation. I felt so excited, I found myself dancing in my shoes while I boarded the plane. As I sat in the seat and dozed off, all I thought of was getting home. The flight was a little rough, all I could do to make myself feel better was to close my eyes, and try to get into deeper sleep.

As I waited for my turn at the immigration counter, I felt joy, looking at the all familiar Kuching "Pue Ki Teo"

When I reached home, I just couldn't decide what emotion or feeling I was having; joy, satisfaction, fatigue, sleepiness, it all got shaken together. As I got into bed for a short nap, I couldn't help myself but tell myself, "Yes, I'm home!"

It might be a short 6 days, but I'll make the best of it.

Should I?

2007-12-26T18:22:00.001+08:00

I want to get a new phone.. Should I get it now? Arrgh... I can't decide. Help me!!!

The end, or a new start?

2007-12-19T09:19:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was "D Day"

I had my internship presentation. I didn't really prepare much, except for the slides, and setting up the presentation, getting my colleagues to join me in the presentation. I got Wendy, the OQA inspector to do the live demo of the software for me. Hehe.. I guess that really impressed my lecturer. Wakaka.. =D

Anyways, she gave me ideas to bring my project further, and even mentioned things like commercialize, and EDX, and Geneva! Hmm.. I'll really have to ask Father and ask of His opinion and approval. Hehe.. If this is it, I might be here to make my first fortune and a name in the software industry. Though it's something small, but we all have to start somewhere.

My my my.. Internship is surely ending.. I'm going to miss my office, strangely enough, I'm going to miss coming to work i think. It's so much nicer than waking up and going to classes and sit for exams.

* * *

Going to be in KL by tonight, and then reach home TOMORROW!!! I'm going HOME!!!!!

Details

2007-12-14T22:39:00.000+08:00

When God calls, He doesn't usually give you all the details as to what you need to do. Why? Because He wants you to follow Him DAILY. ~ God is more interested in a love relationship with you than He is in what you can do for Him. His desire is for you to love Him.

Excerpts from Experiencing God

I used to think that loving God = doing God's work. Now I realize, God's work, is His assignment for you, not a measure of your love for Him, or His love for you. God has always focused on the relationship while I have always focused on what I can do for Him. He is not interested in the work that I can do for Him, but He is interested in me spending time with Him. This brings new light to the story where Mary who chose to sit at Jesus feet to listen to what He has to say, and Martha who was worried and distracted with all that she has to prepare for Jesus. Won't you agree? Be blessed~

God is indeed great!

Letting in.

2007-12-14T08:14:00.000+08:00

This morning, I awoke with thoughts running in my head, thinking and thinking. Of the things that I have done, of my struggles and what I'm going through. I asked myself, why is God not so evident in my life lately.

I looked at the things that are happening to me, and when I saw the book Experiencing God, I remembered 1 thing. That if we want to experience God, we have to allow him into our lives. Allowing God into our lives means to let God be a part of our lives. Letting God know what is happening in our lives, even when we know that He already knows it!

Being with God is a relationship, and part of nurturing that relationship is by telling Him our coming in and our going out. I learnt that we make it difficult for God to be a part of our lives when we communicate with Him, we just say a few words, when He asks us 5 questions, we just answer with 1 word, I guess it will pretty much hurt God because it just shows very plainly that we are not very interested in talking to Him.

Today, I feel very distant from You God, I honestly do. I feel like the void in my heart has gotten bigger the last few weeks. I have tried to fill the void with many things that are temporary. With things that I know are of no substance, no weight. God, I regret the times when I did not make the extra effort to "let you in" to my life. Today, I resolve this God; I want to make an effort to spend time with You. I want to make an effort to make everyday a day that is worthy to be offered to You as my offering to You. God, I want to spend everyday in Your presence, I know that right now, I am weak, but I stand not on my own strength, but on Your grace. I stand not on my on faith, but on your everlasting faithfullness to me. Without You, I am just air, I make no impact, no significance. God, I want to let you IN my life.

Satisfied

2007-12-12T23:28:00.000+08:00

Today, after work, we went home, rested a while, and I eventually slept till around 7 pm. When I got up, Joel was already getting ready to go out for dinner... Tonight is Bak Kut Teh night. Yep, Bak Kut Teh in Penang, not Klang this time. Was really hungry by the time we got there, I think it must be nearly 8 pm we got seated, all 6 of us, except 1 didn't have the Bak Kut Teh cause he finds it "difficult to eat". For my housemates who might have come across this webpage, you will know who lah. =D The place is a corner house, opposite Tesco Extra on Penang Island. I'm sure it's pretty easy to find, somewhere near Pekaka area I guess...

Anyways.. the meal was really really good. I guess partly because I was really hungry when we started eating. Well, I'd say it's not as super good as the one in Klang but by far, this is really nice Bak Kut Teh. The soup was not too salty, the taste was full, and it just tasted so right.

Should be going to bed already.. Bye!

Soon

2007-12-10T10:44:00.000+08:00

So looking forward to next Thursday. December 20th, LCCT. I wish I could go back a little longer.

Somehow, I suddenly feel so empty. I hope that I can fill that emptiness after I get back. It's so hard to even understand myself at times.. This sucks... I hope the day ends soon... Want to go back and just sleep...

God, help me...

2 Different Worlds

2007-12-02T17:04:00.001+08:00

Penang and Kuching are two different worlds. It's so hot here, I keep gettiing constant headaches, while it's raining everyday in Kuching and places are getting flooded.

Its just too hot to do anything at all.

18 more days till I get home.. Just 18 more days...

Too Much

2007-11-25T12:42:00.001+08:00

FaceBook and Friendster? It's just to much to keep up with. :p

WHY do I even have both? Face book has just too much applications.. I won't be going there for a long while.

* * *

Anyways.. this is the pizza I had somewhere in Penang at a place called Golden Crab restaurant.

Just add RM 2 for extra cheese, and this is what you get. SUPERB pizza. YUM~

After the late dinner, we went for HITMAN at GSC Gurney.

If you've played the game, you would like this movie very much, but if you have not, maybe it's time you get to know who this Agent 47 is.

2007-11-23T16:54:00.000+08:00

I want to go home... home home home...
December 20th.. How I wish I am already on the plane..
I just want to go home..
Away from the pain..

...

2007-11-22T15:06:00.000+08:00

ok.. I just wrote something that I dare not post. =.=''

An old lady, a best friend, and the woman of your dreams

2007-11-20T16:23:00.000+08:00

Something I got from the mail again.. But it's something very clever. Please post your answers, if you haven't got the emai! Haha..

You are driving through the highway on a stormy night in a 2 seater. As you come across a bus stop, you see:

1. An old lady who looks like she is about to die.
2. Your friend who once saved your life.
3. The man/ woman of your dreams. (For those who might be a little confused.. if you are a guy, choose woman instead of man and vice versa. Haha. :p)

Knowing that you have only 1 more place in your car, what would you do? Who would you save from the storm?

The answer:

Only 1 out of a 100 people (from the source) could give a very satisfactory answer. There's no right / wrong answer but this I would say is the best. Heard of the saying, "Hit 2 birds with one stone"? Well, this hit 3!

"I would stop at the bus stop, hand my car keys to my friend, have him drive the old lady to the hospital, and wait for the bus with the lady."

:cheers:

Even THEY think it's expensive!

2007-11-20T11:17:00.000+08:00

I just visited an Expat website (Expat Focus) about working and living in Malaysia. And they say that Malaysia is heaven for expats that have a good income package. They agree that cost of living in Malaysia is expensive for Malaysians. Just compare someone working in UK earns 2000 pounds and a Malaysian earning 2000 Ringgit. In UK, it costs an average of 600 pounds for a laptop, and in Malaysia, RM 3000.

Just a simple comparison of percentage will show how low the living standard is in Malaysia. In UK, they use about 30% of their salary to buy a laptop, but a Malaysian, earning the same ammount of money (don't convert, just look at it dollar to dollar. I'll explain why I do not want to convert later on) spends 150% of his salary to buy a laptop. Imagine this, in UK, you can buy a laptop, pay for your rent, bills and still have enough to eat in the first month, while in Malaysia, you won't get to buy your laptop after 3 months if you consider rental and bills. If you are somehow superhuman and do not have to eat and sleep, you might be able to get your laptop after your second month working!

Why do I say we do not convert currency? This is because we are comparing between two people who have the same qualifications and they earn the same amount (not value) of money. 2000 Pounds and 2000 Ringgit. An average Malaysian spends about 10 % more on their groceries compared to their neighbours (Singapore for example).

Check out the article in Malaysia Today (it's a link... click it...come on... go ahead....), and many other sources. You will see how expensive it is to live in Malaysia. What is going on here? Isn't Malaysia a land full of resources, full of possibilities? Why are we paying so much more for goods and sometime even inferior goods! We pay about Rm 50,000 for a Proton Wira, while in Thailand, a new Honda City is going for About RM 40,000! (this value is to be verified again)

Just do a little more research on this, and you will find that Malaysia is in deed a very expensive place to live in. The standard of living is low compared to our neighbours. I'm not encouraging anyone to move out of Malaysia, instead, what are we doing to improve our lives. Is everything that we do in vain? Why do we work so hard, yet live such a mediocre life, while others in the world are working like we are but living a much comfortable life.

Isn't it time we ask for a change?

Feelin It

Are you feeling it? I am.. I feel poor. Suddenly. Out of the blue. Shockingly.

I thought that I was doing okay. That I had enough, that I will never feel so poor.

Cost of living has indeed increased a huge bit. I mean I used to think 10 cents, 50 cents is not much. I mean really. What can you do with 50 cents? Not even park your car for 1 hour! Just like the malay saying "sikit-sikit, lama lama jadi bukit" Can't be denied. Last week, we went to a mamak for nasi kandar. We had our usual of rice, chicken, and an egg. Usually, it's Rm4.90, but that evening, they charged us RM 5.50! 60 cents increase!

Everything rises, but our pay stays the same. How are we to live a life of bliss? Haha.. Guess this is it lah.. Life on earth. Not to be easy breezy. Even God said, we will have to toil for the ground to bear fruits. So here we are.. Toiling for our tables to have food on them everyday. Sometimes when I think of it, I fear.. "What if I can't provide for my family?" Oh the shame, the disgrace... I dream great dreams, I have great ambitions, but how will I attain them by playing so much dota? Haha.. Should I remove all the games on my PC? It's something I find so hard to let go.

Maybe I'm thinking too much.. Sometimes, when I look ahead, I fear that I won't be able to provide for my family, that I will have to work so extra hard just to have a comfortable life. I'll just have to trust God for my provision ler. Seriously, without God, I am nothing.

Arrr!! It's so hard to be an adult and be responsible for your own life. Being an adult is more than freedom, it's responsibility, it's being accountable for your own life. No longer do you look to your parents for food, no longer do you look to your parents when you are in need (maybe sometimes lah ). You are responsible for your own welfare,
The Malaysian climate is so tensed. Economically and politically. All so tensed. Will there be a change? I hope so.. For the better or worse, it's better than no change at all, then we will never know.

Last Wednesday night, 6 of us, rushed back form the office, shower, dressed up, and went to Auto City, Penang.

The place serves Asian cuisine like Japanese, Chinese, etc.. all in a huge mix... (Mostly Japanese style) We chose to have a buffet meal, and it costs RM 50 per head. At first I felt it was a little expensive, then remembered that in KL, it would cost just as much for 1 meal in fancy restaurant, so since this is a buffet, I guess it's "cheaper".

Well, I forgot to bring my all wonderful camera... So all the photos were taken with SonyEricsson wonder gadgets.

From left, myself, Joel, Hung, Wei Zhu, Beh (Arch Lord King), and Edwin (skip the 2 waiters at the back )

We reached the place around 6 pm, and after being seated, Wei Zhu started ordering. Baked salmon... cold cuts.. bla bla bla.. I can't even remember the names of all the dishes that he ordered. But anyways, about 15 / 20 minutes later, the food started coming...

The food was so good... well... we were all too busy to pick up the cameras to snap ler.. hehe...

Warning. The following pictures are of explicit nature, could be disturbing to some. Please just scroll through quickly if you get disgusted with them.

Ok ok.. Now... we wait for the food. HEHEHE..

Scallops! Yummy...(Fat liao... still eat so much...Huhu)

(Beh) What?? This is MY fish! Grrr...

(WZ) Whee... Got one... haha

Hmm... What to order next ar??

Iced Lemon Tea...

Ahh!! That was so nice!!!

Waiting for the Ice Cream... *Say Cheese!*

Ok... I'm very very full... =D

I would recommend this place to anyone who has a liking for Asian food and want a nice environment to enjoy the meal! The food is worth the price, and the experience, and the joys, are priceless.

It's just 3.30, and I already am so sleepy... Blame it on the stupid game last night... Kinda addictive... craps... I need more sleep today... just for today. This morning, before I left for the office, I suddenly remembered the small bottle of energy that I have kept for quite some time - Livita. Whee! That stuff is pretty good... Still can be alert is I want to... but already feel a little bit of headache.. maybe I'm thinking too much about sleep...

Oh, something good happened today! I showed my SV the printout that I could do with VB.Net and he said "The report format is documented, we have to follow the format. If we can't do the same format, then we don't do automatic print."

In my heart, I was celebrating a little. It's so tedious to do a printout with VB.net programs, and some more, want to put into MS Word then print. So yeah... I've finished version 1 of the program! Hehe.. Better start building and populating the database with real data and write a good documentation for the system. This is it! Just about 2 more months, and I'll be back in uni...

Man... the clock really ticks slow.. I want to go home!!
