The Grill Lamb... I think...

I simply adored the mashed potato. It's totally different compare to KFC's one. The sauce was creamy and all. The meat was not too bad. It was cook rare I think. Since there were some blood but still enjoyable.

V-Day

Well it's that day again, where couples go out and court. I never did find it a special day though, reason it's because I never had relationship with anyone. Well not that I have problems with getting one. It's just that I don't really see the point of getting one now.

I know lots of friends who are either supporting me or telling me the other around. They have a good reasons some of them. But for me, getting into a relationship is really a serious thing. For me, I don't like to play around in a relationship. I rather have a serious one and continue that one until the day of marriage comes. But not everyone like me look at V-day as positive one.

Here's an interesting article I found some days ago. It's about Taiwan's Home Boys:

AIPEI, Taiwan - In colorful masks and black T-shirts with anti-women slogans, dozens of young men paraded through an upscale Taipei shopping center one night in December, yelling at startled couples, "Lovers, go to hell."

It was a rare moment of public exposure for Taiwan's "home boys," single young men who spend evenings cloistered at home, playing online computer games, reading fantasy comic books and complaining in Internet chat rooms about women.

"You don't have to be sad if you don't have a date," said college student Lu Yung-ping, 24. "We can huddle together and have fun."

Japan, Hong Kong and the fast-growing areas of coastal China all have their own versions of home boys. They use the Internet to construct an alternate reality, where fantasy characters and digital games trump domestic responsibilities and the formation of relationships.

Parents find the trend worrisome, and it has become a hot topic in Taiwan's news media. Talk shows and magazines attribute it to a desire to remain in the comfort of the parental home rather than go out into the uncertain world of raising families and paying mortgages.

There are no reliable estimates of their numbers, though home boys far outnumber home girls, because males tend to spend far more time with online games.

Sociologists say the home boys' obsession with computers inhibits their ability to conduct normal personal relations, including dating - a concern at a time when young Taiwanese are delaying marriage and the fertility rate has fallen to 1.2 children per woman, down from 3.2 in 1971.

The home boys tend to be self-centered, less caring for others and incapable of problem-solving, said sociology professor Hsueh Cheng-tai of Taipei's National Taiwan University.

"Many 30-year-olds still have the mentality of children who want to rely on their parents' care and financial support," he said. "They're not ready to get married and fulfill family duties."

It's not so much that they hate women, the young men say; it's that women ignore, reject or betray them. And rather than pining away, they prefer to gather electronically with fellow sufferers and ease their hurts by talking about anything except love.

"The more a nice guy tries to act positively, the more he gets turned away," wrote one man, who identified himself as Hsuan, in a popular anti-couple chat room.

Many of the chat room denizens reject the idea that they are socially awkward, blaming their lack of domestic compatibility on women.

Said one who identified himself only as Klowa: "More so than politicians, women are swindlers among swindlers. They will cheat you of your money and time, or worse, steal from several men at the same time."

Not all computer addicts are so pessimistic.

Lin Wei-ting, a chemistry major at Hsinchu's National Tsing Hua University, describes himself as a "positive home boy."

"Comic books can stimulate our thinking," he said. "They can better prepare us for dating, marriage and career building."

Now I find that rather stupid. Just because you got pushed away from a girl doesn't mean that is the end of your social life with them. I mean, look at me. I don't go telling how a pain girls publicly in chat rooms. If I had a rift with a girl, I will confine to myself. And yes, I have been hurt before by a girl but I got over it and I still enjoy chatting with a girl.

But really, if all girls like mention above, then you are stereotyping them. Just because one girl ticks you off doesn't mean that all of them are like it. You want to know a tip? Be like Jacob from the Bible. Hang around the well. Now don't literally hang around the well. I'm talking about your spiritual well.

Where is the spiritual well? Well it's your church of course. At church, there are many to look at. Also, if you both are Christians, then you are both equally yoke. Imagine if your a Christian and she's a non-believer. What will happen there? Of course there are sometimes she ends up as a Christian but no, it doesn't always happen. It's like you are a higher chair and she's below you. Eventually, gravity will pull you down.

So it's rather important that you are both equally yoke. All in all, I have nothing about relationships. But please, don't be like those home boys. And yeah, sorry if I overused girls. I'm a guy after all.

On a personal note congratulations to Colin and Adrian who won the Amazing Race Asia: Season 2. And congratulations to Vanessa and Pamela for coming in second. Also great jobs to Marc and Ravilsor who got 3rd place and gave lots of funny moments.

This year... Coming again

And here we are at another year of CNY fast approaching me from the front. Well I don't find that interesting anymore. Maybe it's because I spend one week without internet in Ipoh. Gosh, it's so frustrating not to have the internet. It's like a freaking limb tore of you.

The only thing that is stopping from enjoying my one week of paralysis is two draft copy I need to do for my Intro to Business and Information System which tomorrow would be devoted entirely to it since I spend my night keeping ass in COD4 at a local cybercafe. Dang what an addictive game, too bad I had to go before the night strikes midnight but that's life for me.

On a surprise note, I have my first angpau already!!!!!! And the color is.........

PURPLE!!!!

Of course this is not the original one that I have, I'm just lazy to snap a picture. Now at your leave my readers.

I'm alive?

Yes, I'm still alive. Well it's a brand new year. I do have mix feelings about it. Starting a new year again. As I began to reflect, I realize my 2007 year was really a year of transaction. I moved on to my college years and began to realize how different live is outside the four corners of school.

My journey is rather been a huge roller coaster ride. I had like three major events where my life like hit right to the bottom. First of all would be my rub in with my peers, something I didn't expect. Then my accident with a motorcyclist, wonder what happen to him. Also losing my w880i phone, totally unexpected. Ending with losing a RM20,000 cash cheque at the end of the year.

Even though I had hard times. I still had some great moments in the year. Things like Pre-U Getaway, moving into DC, getting involved in the security minister, getting past the year safely. Yeah, guess I'm should be thankful how the last year was a hard but a good year in my life.

Seen a lot of changes everywhere, including me. Changes such as friends, places, my look on life. How I strive to better person for myself, and the people around me. Well,who would have thought my 19 year in my life would be so eventful. Oh well, to greater things ahead. Cheers...

(Okay Jon, now you can lay off those blue m&ms, since I updated it already. Now go bother Pheebs.)

Lost

Well finally, my church's Christmas musical production is done. It was titled "Lost". I was blessed with the opportunity to help in the musical. The other people who also helped out in were Joel, Elaine, Hsien U, Dexter, Sophia, Priscilla, Jeremy and Shang Sheng.

Our role was to carry the candle when Juwita and Patrick Leong sang "Silent Night". Actually I was quite nervous the first time because we didn't really practice much at there some last minute changes. Well in all, I manage to do well for 3 nights.

The play went through well, there were no errors or mistakes I could spot. Actually to my surprise, I found out that I had some friends also performing in the musical. First is Hocks, my ex-cg leader who was playing the saxophone!!! Then Eunice, 1 of the 4 violinist. Michael, my sifu drummer was playing the drums. Kar Men and Lydia, both dancers for the play.

My mom was involved in the play, since she was a former hairstylist she was doing the hair for most of the actors and dancers. From there, I gain backstage access to talk to some of the actors and dancers. She even did Patrick Leong and Juwita Suwito's hair. That is like a bonus since I get to talk to an artist which I haven't yet to do so (Planetshakers don't count.)

Anyway, the play opens with 4 carols sang by the choir. After the 4 carols, Juwita and Patrick will both sing a duet of "Silent Night". Then we are introduce into main character who is a shepherd who has the staff of King David when he had it as a shepherd. As he is about to leave to care for his flock, his sos begs him to tell him a story about King David. He sits down and began telling story about how King David use his staff to ward off lions and bears. He continues on with the story about King David beats Goliath with a sling a stone. The story is told by a song by the kid's choir. It's rather cute with their actions with it.

The play then moves on to the shepherd meeting up with his two other friends who are both shepherds. As they talk, he tells them about a census regarding that everyone must return to their hometown so that the Romans can count how many Jews are there. One of the shepherds is amazed how the Romans plan to do that and he can't even count how many sheep he has. The shepherd with the King David's staff then brags how he know his sheep by their names and the sheep know who is their master. As he began to count, he notice one of his sheep missing. So, he goes out to look for the missing sheep.

The next scene shows, the lost sheep being dance by one of the dancers. The dance was really good I must say. The way she portrays a lost sheep was rather impressive. As she dances around the prop lake, she falls into it. Then the shepherd comes running to help her. As he struggles with only one hand, he realize he must throw away his staff in order to save her.

He then returns back to his friend, exhausted and weary. As he sits down to rest, he tells what happen to his friends and they all scold him for throwing away the staff for just a lamb. Patrick comes in to perform his song which I forgot. After this, Ps. Daniel comes in to share the Word.

After the word, the play continues with the shepherd seeing the angel of the Lord. Telling them the Messiah is born in the town of Bethlehem. The choir then sings a song which I forgot. The shepherds then move on to Bethlehem. There they find the baby Jesus (although not shown). After that, the dancers did hip-hop dance and Juwita sings another song. Then the play ends with an altar call by Ps. Daniel

Well that's a long update. I'm rather lazy to go to in details the last part since it's really long and I plan to move on the another update soon.
