20 ++

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.

St. Teresa

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

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

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

* * *

unending

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.

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.

Update Patch v1.0

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

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!

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!

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

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

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

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.....

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

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!!

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".

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 :
