haha, ya, thats wat i can think of..so 2moro for watch nite service i will reflect on all the things that i have said n thank God for everything..

haha thats d motto for d APMB/APSB (Anderson Band) so ya..on d 26 many of u noe that i went 2 ipoh for Anderson Year End Band Camp n it was good..actually if u ask simon or jh they might say it wasnt that great, but they said that it was better than sitting at home..but ya, it was great running into all my seniors, juniors, friends..it was quite funny when we first reached the school cuz i didnt noe any of the current band members but they were really great hosts..took good care of us..haiz i will be missing the fellowship nite its when all the ex band members come back n meet up with old friends and also get to noe d current band..its held on d 29 nite n well, i am back to help with the christmas party..hope it will run smoothly..haha..anyway, here are some pics of Anderson..

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

A Very Merry Christmas to All..If ur not comfortable with my wishing, then a Very Happy Holidays..

would u risk it?

Who said that it's better to have loved and lost?
I wish that I had never loved at all

By Boys Like Girls- Up Against the Wall

ok, i find this part of a song close to home, y u may ask? well its cuz im not d kind who would take risks..but think about it..would u do it? would u walk down a path if ur uncertain of the ending? or will u do it? lets see if i can weigh out the pros and cons..

pros of risking it, well, 1 is u gain experience, u can say i did it and i noe wat would happen if i did it again. u might also be able to get rewarded by risking it..

cons, well, u might lose more than u expect..also by not risking anything u will be able to keep more, example money, of wat u have..also u can avoid being hurt..

so yea, its up to u..my personality is that im not a real risk taker, cuz i just have really bad luck..almost everytime i've played a game of texas hold'em with my cuzins, well, i lost when i tried to bluff..btw, it wasnt a gambling game, cuz i dont gamble..

cheers

FBC 07 Youth Camp

ya..back from camp n it was good n now i really miss the camp..was asked to be a group leader n that it self was a huge thing for me because i did not have faith my my abilities..i was worried that i wouldnt have done a good job n that my members would not cooperate n so on, but everything went well..God really was there to guide me because in my group there wasnt any person who was spiritually more mature than me, so that really got me worried.. wat i mean is d other groups had a camp advisor or a speaker n my group had the camp nurse, who was really helpful n a very nice lady, but she was busy during the whole camp because there were a lot of casualties..haha..anyway my group members were great and they really inspired me to keep on trying n not give up..gonna really miss them..haha..but ya, also we had this game called angel and mortal game where everyone is randomly assigned a mortal and asked to do random acts of kindness for their mortal n they are not to let their mortal find out who their angel is..so my angel was really great, she kept giving me can drinks and also wrote me a note that helped lift my spirits to lead my group..going to miss d games with ppl, the talking, the PPL! haha..but im going to see them every sunday, well most of them, but its not the same..

anyway, so now i really am emo-ing over camp and over other matters..like during this camp, i really fellt super guilty that i didnt go for a BB camp that i was supposed to organize..i mean as the organizer it is ur responsibility to go n make sure everything runs smoothly, but i couldnt because i already gave my word that i will go for this camp..but i would like to thank mr yee for being there and taking over my spot n the committee who helped make things run smoothly..will buy them lunch!haha..k, i think i will go back to emoing over camp..eventually will get over it..so till then..

cheers..

Torn

thats how i feel right now..there are 2 camps that i have to go for, 1 i signed up for, 1 im organizing..as the organizer i feel that it is my duty to attend the camp and make sure that everything runs smoothly, but the other camp, i promised to go for it, and i have a lot of ties to that camp..well, most of u noe wat im talking about, n those who dont, well its the youth camp and my Sunshine camp for juniors in BB..i really feel like im a useless organizer who cant make it for his camp that he is organizing..it is really irresponsible of me n i can see that my officers are not happy with me..but i am also a man of my word, if i promised that i will come, i will come..the most that i can do is just do my best for both camps n make sure everything runs smoothly..so from now until d camps are over, i wont really enjoy myself..

k, exam is 2moro n i think i should go back n study..so till then, cheers..

JH suprise..

yea, been studying for like, a lot n my finals week still isnt over.so today wanted to destress a bit..a bit la..went to mv with a gang of friends to celebrate his really really belated birthday..well its not cuz we felt bad cuz we forgot, cuz we didnt, but his birthday fell on d 1st day of the STPM so memang couldnt celebrate la..haha..we were actually planning to literally kidnap him, but that couldnt happen cuz of shortage of man power. but we still managed to surprise him cuz yours truly was organizing it..haha..sorry need to perasan a bit la. last year these jokes tried to suprise with a celebration in a camp, n they were discussing the entire thing in front of me, then i asked them wat they were doing, they just said,"uhh..not about u wan..."haha..a bit too obvious la..so now i thought them a lesson in the art of surprising ppl..haha..his reaction was really good la too bad we didnt have a camera..

just now tommy was saying that it was sooo ironic that the ppl who are having difficulty in starting a relationship seem to be able to set up a really good "hanging out session", well i was thinking about wat he said n a probable reason is because the ppl who cant start a romantic relationship always fantasize of a romantic setting therefore are able to set up the situation so well..the closest this person can ever get to the situation he or she wants is to help others set up the situation..

i also have been realizing that a lot of ppl are closing their blogs..haha..is the blogging era already coming to a close? do people want to keep their life's experiences, comments on a certain topic, views, and so on to themselves? Did the chicken come before the egg? i guess we will never know..

keeping this blog alive..Cheers..

My December

haha..ya, just realized that this is my frist december post..haha..ya, it is my december, y? well, u just figure that out la..anyway, i am on a self declared holiday, yet again not because of d day, but because my next paper is on d 11th dec, so i still have a week to study..so yea, just chill for awhile..so far my papers have been ok, not too dificult, Thank God..anyway, 2day, woke up at like,6 then went for my exam, finished like 5 minutes before time, so i checked everything for spelling, o its my italian exam, so ya..anyway, after my exam went to central, shop a bit, got some breakfast, came home, went online, chatted with an old friend, i would dare say my oldest friend, then played football manager, finally went out to dinner with friends and dota-ed and cs-ed a bit..a simple day..k, till then..

Cheers

Cool Illusions..

These are worth checking out!!! Pretty cool if you haven’t seen before
1)

is that possible?

2)

3)is the purple lines straight or bent?

4)

Do you see the grey areas in between the squares? Where did they come from?

5)

You should see a man's face and also a word...
Hint: Tilt your head to the right, you should see a word that starts with a "L"

6)


If you take a look of the following picture, let me tell you that it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple of seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it...weird?

Exam schedule is out..

crap..finals is out..n, for d 2nd year in a row, i have an exam on my birthday..crap..soo stupid..eh crap, sorry, i dont have a birthday, but it was d date d government gave me, since i always existed..anyway, its all ok la, exams start after d STPM ppl end, 3rd dec, 5th and 11th..crappy la..esp d last one, cuz i still have classes on d other weeks cuz the 2 out of 3 of my subjects are ADP subjects, n the ADP term ends earlier, and d B Psych term ends a week later, so thats y i have to go for class when im doing my finals..crappy..only can celebrate after d 11th, n on d 14th i have camp, n also organizing another camp for the juniors..wooohooo..after the 13th, im totally booked for dec..dont think i will be going for BB that month..crap, i think i might need to plan a bit..

Apologies..

well, 1st f all, i would like to apologize to Cheng Jack Kee, where i had hurt him in such a way that was a bit too much, sorry for miss-calculating..

anyway, im really tired now, tired from coll life la..as in, physically tired..not that im sick of coll..looking forward to 11 dec where it is my final day for finals..so i will be sleeping after d exam..

new thought that came through my mind, there is optimism n pessimism rite? but is that d only choices? i was thinking cuz a lot of experiments in coll r based on these 2..well, personally i think that there is more than that..to be more specific, 1 more which is realism..well, its kinda a mixture of both, where it is a more logical approach..d famous "experiment" ,if u will, is d half glass test, where u were only given 2 options, is d glass half full or half empty..but y cant it just be dead middle? sadly i think that most realist in d world r regarded as pessimist cuz they state the obvious, which in most cases end in a negative perspective..but compared to a pessimist, the realist is not as bad..well, i could only think of this 1 more type of personality ( i think that is wat it is called) but if there is more, would be interesting to hear about it..

i will leave u with a quote from my lecturer today,
" Do you know where does lipstick come from? As in the colour red? It actually originated from an insect that lives on the cactus plant and it is squished together and it is mixed with other stuff. So ladies, your lipstick is made from insect blood."

cheers

Finally...

haha..1 year and 9 months..thats how long it took me to get my P license..but it was really a blessing from God..i didnt practice for this exam, d only thing i did was pray, and i prayed a lot..sometimes thats all that u need to get through certain events..d past exams i have been trying to do everything myself n i didnt ask help at all..i kept focusing on d mistakes that i made d last time n tried to improve..this time around, i just prayed..God yet again stood by my side..i hope that this story reaches out to ppl so that they start to pray more n surrender everything to Him..

also in d LRT today, i also realized that i am cured of my terrible loneliness that i was feeling..i noticed this when i saw a couple being romantic with each other, and i didnt feel anything..so yea, like i said my past infatuation was purely based on this loneliness..i have also prayed about this and yet again, God has answered my prayers..so seriously, any kind of problem u r facing, just pray..serious..

anyway, here is a extremely lame song i thought of while i was heading to coll today..its based on the tanggal 31 ogos song..

Tanggal tiga puluh satu
bulan s'puluh
dua ribu tujuh
saya dapat memandu
tanpa orang duduk
di sebelah kiriku
kecuali saya k'ta gitu..

haha...i noe, super super lame..but im happy..

Cheers..

Assignment that gave me the most headache..

ahhhhhh....it was sooo annoying...all started on thursday where i was supposed to meet my partner in this assg (abbreviation for assignment) , and we were supposed to conduct a counseling session, but we didnt do it on that day, cuz we werent prepared..so we decided to meet on friday to do the proper thing, but unfortunately my partner had trouble attending college so we had to make the recording on monday, and the due date was today..anyway, on friday i went for football practice to play for my department on saturday, where we finished on top of the group, but got knocked out in the quarterfinals..so it ended at 12 for me, so i rushed home to take a shower and head back to BB to enlighten the Junior Section Officers' Council about a camp that i am organizing.

Sunday was also a "great" day..i forgot to get my boots from BB on saturday, so i had to run back to YC and get my boot, which wasnt there, so luckily jason tham was there so i could steal, i mean borrow his boots.. then went to my uncle's house to get ready for church where we were celebrating BB Sunday, therefore i was requested to wear my uniform last year, therefore i wore it..just to make things clear, i am not ashamed to wear my uniform, but i felt betrayed that darryn didnt wear his..cuz i smsed him earlier asking him about what to wear, and he indicates that he is also wearing his uniform. then suddenly he shows up in a red company shirt (i think)..so he is known as FFK from now onwards..anyway, Sunday was also Ben's birthday so i kinda hanged around him the whole day..went to pizza hut for a surprise birthday lunch then went to his house to rest a bit..later jo came over n we went CS after dinner until like 10.30 then i went home.

Monday i woke up at 6 to return d boots to jason, cuz there was a performance at genting, where the band played for the late Dato Seri Lim Goh Tong's funeral. unfortunately i arrived at YC at 8 am, and they left at 7, so i left d boots there and headed to coll where my class starts at 12..reached coll at 9 something then just sat there, extra sleepy, n wrote lyrics to another song..( ya, i didnt bring a book to read, so had to write something) then ran into joshua from church, and helped him with his experiment. then went walking around n shopping for a test pad..haha..finally bought it cuz i ran out like a month ago..anyway, went to class, then had the meeting for my assg, and did the recording..so got it done went home and was soo tired, i couldnt start d work ( which was writing out the entire recording of 17.09 mins)fell asleep at 7 n woke up at 9, so that i could start, but i was even more tired, so i decided to wake up at 7 am and start it..

so i did and it took me until 3 pm to finish..and in order for me to pass up, i need my partner's work and also i had to burn d recordings onto a CD. so i tried to call and message her to pass me her part, but there was no response, so i felt really bad, n also a bit angry at her cuz i dont want to pass up the work late, cuz i put in too much effort..so i left her a message that i will pass up myself and also told her to do d same..so i left my house at 3.30 n reached coll at 4.45 n printed d work, then passed it up at 4.57 (due time was 5 pm)..so i started to head home, then i realized, i didnt pass up the CD with the assg..so i rushed back n i say that d folder was being cleared, n the clerk there was really nice and allowed me to attach d CD to my assg..so now i leave coll and i reach home at 6.45 and i find that d house is locked and the maid went to pick my younger sister, so i was stuck out side for like, 30 mins..during that time i continued the lyrics, adding and editing it..so that was my day..my driving test is 2moro n i havent practiced at all! but i have faith in God and if He wants me to pass, He will let me..

Cheers

how a bad week turns good..

yea, this week was really bad..like seriously..i really felt weak and defenseless but it turned out good if not great..1st of all i was sick on saturday and went for d Founder's day celebration at sentul organized by 2nd KL..(i dont really want to comment on it because of all the fuss generated from d comments) but it was good..really sorry i didnt enjoy it much cuz i was sick..but yea anyway, went to church n attended the youth comm meeting as d KPC AJK..haha..suddenly asked to lead stuff..like crap..but its ok la..God wont burden you if u cant handle it..only prob is that i dont plan on being in kl during the event, so i kinda had to share the job..haha..ooo got some good news, d youth room is repaired! so d leakage is gone and now it can be used..only things left is d designs..

...really really speechless..spent 1st day of my self-declared holidays by going to coll..haiz..sooooo anti climatic..had to pass up a mid term case study..then since i was in coll, might as well attend class..haiz..anyway, 2moro is a really free day for me..thought i would be spending it to pack for d retreat, but i found out that d retreat is on saturday..ops..thought it was a friday..(btw, it doesnt take me a whole day to pack..just thought i would be spending time only..thats all..) well, wat it means is that i can attend italian class on friday..haha..yet another holiday i am spending in coll..haiz..i think i will postpone the self-declared holiday to friday la..haha..got my mid term back for abnormal psy..39/60..its ok la..not good, but not bad..haiz..a bit sad la but it was really fast that the marking of d paper..like 15 minutes for everyone! haha..all objective la..so thats y so fast..anyway, after class, went for another recruitment meeting n ate KFC, even though i have a phobia of KFC..haha..

1 of the few things that i dont like is that ppl who are taking exams (esp SPM/PMR/UPSR) always always complain about stress..really annoying la..esp when they say that they r going to die..COME ON LA!..its not that bad la..i survived it la, so just suck it up, ppl with worse conditions than me has survived it, so y cant u?..ur exams are like such small things la compared to wat other ppl face..family problems, abuse problems, physical problems, financial problems, psychological problems, just to name a few..for STPM ppl, k la, havent really heard a person complain yet, cuz they are like use to it already i guess..but still i can understand la, cuz its important la..ok, not to say that all exams r not important, they are, but wat im saying is that, dont complain la..just figure out a way to solve d problem la..wat does complaining about stuff do? does it help? k, i admit la, complaining helps let go of steam, distress..thats wat i do also la..but can not like, complain too much? just like once is enough la..anyway, this is my point of view la..if u still want to complain, go ahead, im not trying to change u la..just voicing out my opinion about all this..hope that it opens ur eyes that ur complaining actually affects ppl la..

a battle half won..

eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit

and ate it.

Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting

very, very high up.

Lesson Two:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the

top of that tree," sighed the

turkey, "but I haven't got the energy." "Well, why don't you nibble on

some of my droppings?" replied the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him

enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day,

after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a

fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top ofthe tree. He was

promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson: Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep

you there.

Lesson Three:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird

froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there,

a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in

the pile of cow dung, he began to realize howwarm he was. The dung was

actually thawing him out! He laid there all warmand happy, and soon began

to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to

investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the

pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

NEW LAPTOP!!!

YEA!! i finally got my laptop..well, its my 1st laptop, so it cant be my new laptop, cuz its my 1st laptop, that already means that its new..to me..well, kinda..anyway, thats all i guess..haha..got a meeting 2moro at 6.30..wat else..hmm..

o i was pondering on why is d 'yellow brick road' was called 'the yellow brick road'..y couldnt it have been blue, red or any other colour? well, d answer was just simple..it sounded better..fine, like duh rite?? just try saying blue brick road or brown brick road or black brick road..its kinda hard to say..cuz d colours all start with a b alphabet infront of it..ok, so we find colours that start with a different alphabet..red, white, purple..well, red brick road is like so normal, cuz most bricks are red..haha..white, well, then it is like so plain, isnt it? n finally purple..it kinda has d same effect as blue or brown..so bottom line is, thats y its called the yellow brick road..n yes, i some times have nothing better to do..

didnt go class..crap..

ya, today i woke up with a migraine, again..so had to skip class..haiz..but i did study when i stayed at home..mid term for my abnormal psy next monday, n i noe that i wont spend much time on weekends studying, so skipping class kinda helped(however i dont agree that i should have done that)..anyway, spent d day playing bass also..my sis played some christian songs, n surprisingly i could quite a lot of d songs..haha..kinda felt like ben..o i tried to play salvation is here..im like 90% there!! just need to noe d solo properly n also d chorus..haha..speed also almost there..i also wrote a song today, yea it was 1 of d things i said i wanted to do before i die..haha..anyway d song is called 'depression is just a fancy way of saying your dying on the inside'..yea d title is kinda long..a bit inspired by FOB, panic at the disco n lost prophets..

well, i noe d song sounds like a "dark" song, n d lyrics r (well to me) but d purpose of this song is to create awareness with ppl..it also shows out some of the symptoms of depression and although im not depressed, but i tried to capture d feelings of how a depressed person would feel..i am actually not trying to say that all depressed ppl feel d same way, but most of them would feel like wat i wrote..anyway, i dont plan to put it up just yet..want to like create d music part, then record it..finally i will put up d lyrics..

btw, there is something called self-fulfilling prophecy where a person who is told of d symptoms of a particular disorder might start acting out the symptoms, voluntarily or not.. if u like spot d symptoms, plz dont go n diagnose urself with depression..go to a professional to get a proper diagnosis..example of a self-fulfilling prophecy is just say u think of suicide, as in u think y ppl commit suicide, then u r told that a depressed person has thoughts of suicide, so u come to a conclusion that u r depressed, n u now actually have suicidal thoughts..see? i noe d example isnt a good one, but it works in that manner..ok, thats about it..i really dont want to hear about friends/family who want to commit suicide after this post or after i post up d lyrics..lol..

cheers..

the saturday i skipped BB for Comm service

yea..i skipped BB..feel guilty but wat to do? coll work..anyway, today was d last day! woo hoo!!but we r still planning to go back n do something cuz we do feel a bit attached to them la..so took them to d playground, played football, n watched them play some achi game but i forgot wat was d name..but it was darn fun for them..anyway, after i came back, had to practice for worship n after that went to my cousin's house where my grandfather stays n played cards with him..after d cards, played with d dc(dumb cat) n mess with my sister..haha..o, sorry ben for disturbing u..u need to study..lol..had dinner n thats about it i guess..oo, i also finished d game called dungeon man 3..

i have this effect on ppl where they want to catch me making a verbal mistake or something of that order..e.g. a group mate of mine makes some mistakes in her speech, so i just make fun of her, but soon after i realize she is hunting down d moment where i make a verbal mistake or any mistake..haha..but its soo funny cuz when she does catch me, i dont get bugged or get as bugged as her when she made d mistake..so she gets more bugged..o n like i said about messing with my sis..well, i took her phone n put it to silent mode n hid d phone, so she spends hours searching for it, n when she finds it, she takes my wallet n hides it..(btw, she is really bugged at me..haha)but when i realized it was missing, i had to go home, so she had to give it back..so that was sooo funny...its nice watching ppl's plans fail..haha..

Joke of the Day:

wat is green n has wheels?

ans: grass

(d person being question) grass dont have wheels!!!

well, i lied about d wheel part..

no class 2moro!

yea, no class! but i still have comm service that i need to go for..so my celebrations only last for awhile..so today woke up to d sound of banging, cuz my house is under renovation..so had to wake up..went down n watched some tv, studied, tv again, online, tv, n online again..haha..really boring day..highlight was when i played peasant quest(to those who noe wat it is) n finished it! d past few days i was forced to puasa..yea forced..ok, like saturday i had food poisoning so only could eat until dinner, then sunday had d meeting so only ate at 4, monday didnt eat cuz had a meeting at 4pm, so during lunch i was rushing out, tuesday friend didnt want to eat and we were late for class..wednesday i finally had lunch at d proper time..hmm..nothing much happened la..almost dropped a subject, but in d end didnt..well, as u can see, im really finding something to talk about when there is just nothing to talk about..o, if u noticed, all my post titles are different, n i try to keep putting different titles..so far so good..haha..i have interesting hobbies..

YRC!!

yea..2day we had d meeting for the youth room..so hence the title, youth room committee..well, d meeting went well, long, but well..i'd like to thank mark for helping out a lot..Thank God for giving me such a person to help out with this project..so now we're going to send in a proposal to d LCC committee..so after d meeting i had my lunch, which was like 4.30-ish..almost puasaed again..haha..o, yesterday i really puasaed..didnt eat breakfast n lunch cuz i had food poisoning..only ate dinner at 8..anyway, after my lunch at 4.30, went to ben's house n played some football..kept stepping ppls feet..haha..(o, n this time i played with shoes..learnt my lesson)o my sis has left for US, again..room is also going to be renovated..so it was a good day..

k, gtg now..man u is playing..haha..yea, its d MAN U vs. CHEL..hope they win..

Cheers and God Bless..

Community service

Dr. Ng keeps talking about going to d place and 1st have our eyes open, then our hearts broken, then take leadership or do something to help..(ya i noe that doesnt rhyme, but i didnt say it..)

well to clear some things up, Dr. Ng is my lecturer and she is d one who has asked us to go do the comm services..nothing wrong with that, but there is something wrong with d thing she said..so after u do all that, then? ur heart is broken n it cant be mended..this is my 2nd time doing comm service under her class..d 1st time we went n helped, our hearts were broken, n it still is..n if u find some way to heal this hurt, then u would think, isnt that heartless? u've spent so much time there n u can just forget all d pain n suffering that they r going through..so then u dont let it heal, but u cant do anything more, cuz u too busy with ur life, and when ur free to help, it would be either when ur retired or never..if u want to help while ur working, well frankly ur burning urself out faster..so that is just a dilemma..this comm service im with a shelter home, n there are kids that form attachments with us..today i actually got a drawing of a heart from a kindergarten boy..in the heart is written my name n his name..k la, im touched a bit la, but im actually not worried about my broken heart, cuz im use to it..but im much more worried with d kid's heart..but there is nothing that i can do..only pray that he will be fine and that God will take care of him..n ben, like u were saying yesterday, " i cant believe that u can stand kids..i noe i will snap" (or something like this)..well, i use to be like that..i cant stand small kids, but they will actually soften ur heart with d small things that they do..like today there was a 3 year old kid that just ran up to me n jumped on me n gave a big smile..no matter how hard ur heart is, it will just melt..so yea, i think kids r ok now..

*points and opinions are actually based on me and not on my group mates..

Redang..continued..

sorry for d late post..been really busy..but lets continue

Day 3

so on day 3, which was a saturday, we went snorkeling at 9 am..it was good..d fishes were annoying though cuz they will come so close n may even nibble on u..didnt like that, cuz i have this personal space issue..anyway, after d snorkeling, we went back, had lunch n slept..woke up for dinner then went back to d room n played cards..

the fishes at redang..^

more fishes..look how clear is d water..^

d beach at redang..scenic aint it?

Day 4

well, we just packed up n left at 9 am..(yea throughout d whole time i didnt get enough sleep)..n thats about it..

have absolutely no idea what it is..something that helps with reef restoration..

anyway, the past few days have been really taxing..n today was really good..went to do community service in a shelter home..d kids were friendly and cute..haha..just too bad i cant speak tamil cuz most of them speak tamil, but they can understand BM n english..o that reminds me..i actually woke up late n made my group mates wait..felt really bad..anyway, after d comm service, went for class, abnormal psy..haha..after class went home and had a good talk with my dad, in which has helped me resolve some anger that i have for him..also read a really meaningful post on Steven Cheam Win Datt's blog in which has inspired me..anyway, here is a link http://www.stevenboiboi.blogspot.com/
(ben, recommended to read)
so until then..
cheers and God Bless..

BACK FROM REDANG!!

YEA!!! sooo freakin happy..haha..can get back to all d work at hand!..(im actually not a workaholic, im actually very lazy)..anyway, i noe i have been making a big fuss about going to redang, but now i would like to say that i was half right, n half wrong..it was ok, but a trip like this is to take away d stress, but it took away some of it, but added a different kind..but yea, i would say it was ok..worth it, kinda..

anyway, i'll tell u wat happened day by day..

1st day

wake up at 6.30 to find a roach in my room..have no idea y it was just lying on its back, i thought it died of d extreme coldness of my room..haha..but when i went near it, it started moving..so it wasnt dead..so i sprayed it, n left it to die..

dead roach..^

and so we left early in d morning n reached kuala terengganu at about lunch time..well i was actually born in KT n i havent been back since then, so it was like my first time..haha..anyway, we spent d nite there..found some stuff which was kinda cool..well, kinda..i was really bored..anyway, here are pics..

not bad ah? its either a sign pointing to keropok lekor, or that is d museum's name..haha.. u can ask JKR to advertise business for u..lol..^

going to redang in this weather..^

sorry its a bit dark, but that is d KT version of Petaling Street..^

haha..im a bad photographer..but i was in d car..anyway, u remember d Batu Bersurat? haha..well that is it..^

anyway, d 1st day was basically spent shopping..wat to do? family full of feminine presence..haha..btw, i bought gifts so u better take it! if not, u could be d 1st person who gets seriously injured from souvenir items..but, ya, wat to do? feminine presence..

2nd day
d 2nd day we started early again but this time to go to redang..we reached d jeti, and went shopping again..anyway at d jeti, my mum was eating something which attracted a cat..so my mum didnt want d cat to come so she moved away, leaving space for d cat to jump onto d bench..anyway, here r pics..anyway, my mum gave it d food to get it off d bench..

see d space on d bench? d cat managed to clear all that place..my mum, sis n i were sitting there..haha..^

face of a satisfied cat..^

so when we reached, we had lunch, then went to our rooms..btw, d resort we stayed in was great! recommended!..Laguna resort or laguna beach resort..haha..anyway, as soon as we reached, everyone besides me n my younger sis decided to sleep..(real anti-climax), so we both were doing our work and playing around with d camera..when everyone woke up, we went n did some archery..haha..not bad..my younger sis seems to be good at it..

D beach we were at..^

more pics of d beach..not bad eh?..^
sleeping ppl..come all d way to sleep..^

Younger sis shooting..not bad..definitely better than me..haha..but i can catch up fast..^

anyway, day 3 and 4 will be done 2moro..dont worry, still got a lot of pics..

Recruitment meeting that helped me..

well, today i thought i could sleep in, (actually it is yesterday) but i woke up tnx to my sis..anyway, i had to go pass up my italian quiz paper in coll then was planning to have lunch with jun hsiang, tommy n choon meng..so i did, then jun hsiang had to go for tuition n d rest of us had a meeting at 5 pm, so we dota-ed a while then headed up..waited for all d others to come, n when they did, d meeting stared..well, i cant really say about d contents, but it is going to be a good recruitment!..lol..so later we ordered pizza n had dinner, then mr wong tried his best to convince us to not quit BB, n i think all that he said has motivated me a bit..it makes sense to me, but we will see wat God wants me to do..so thank u mr wong! haha..i hope that wat he said made all 3 of us think a bit more..
