Of random chatter and other random stuff

All right all right, I admit to being super lazy to blog. Heck, even the food review is done. Is just that, it's way too short.

I only decided to do it like on Monday when I was returning from Ipoh. Argh, I dunno should I post it or not. This week has been quite hectic. I mean I feel so not productive at all, wasting my time playing games, going out (almost everyday). I only manage to watch the Forbidden Kingdom, in which is only one, when there's other movies like Iron Man, Speed Racer, Prince Caspian, and the upcoming Indiana Jones.

Man oh man, I feel so lost or rather wasted. ARGH, actually maybe I should just blog later. I just don't have the mood to do one. So I shall leave you all with just a random comic strip I saw the other day:


If you can't read it just click on it and don't be lazy. RAWRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Washed, Wax, Vacummed

In the light of Jon's attack of tags (which this writer manages to escape) I will update. Or not he will throw something sharp at my general direction (sorry Jon, couldn't resist...)

Okay about the reviews. Erm how to say about it? I rather just pick one of the following categories I mention in the last post and just write one. I will write one review every Sunday which means I owe 1 review. I will probably write both of them this coming weekend when I'm outstation. It's interesting how free you all when you have no freakin internet over the weekend.

So how's my life been? Hmmm.... Generally it's been all right. I not so stress up like two good friends. I don't know is it personality wise or I don't feel the stress. Oh well, maybe it's just me. So what's left for this semester? Two more presentations, two individual assignments and also one more group assignment. And there's always them tutorials I need to do for Business Statistics.

For my spiritual life, I have to really admit that I haven't actually touched my devotion book for uber long. I find myself really struggling to really sit down, quieten myself and do some devotion.
Well that's rather it, I actually want to go further about certain things. But I rather not, since I don't really find myself in the mood. So till then... Ciaoz

April Fool

As the title says, it was April Fool's Day. I woke up to the sound of my hand phone message tone "Heroes Title". So this is what she said:

"After tis u pls dnt msg or cal me.. I think its better 4 us 2 stop our frenship.. I'm so sori 4 tis, bt u really hurt me.. Thanx.. Thanx so much.. Thanx 4 everything! Its all over nw.. Gud bye!!"

Yes I know it has a lot of typo error but what do you expect from a sms? Now being just awoken. I stupidly sms her back knowing well what I just read. In my head, April Fool was the last thing that occur to me. She spent back a very simple message asking me to read the whole thing again. And lo and behold, the final part of the message says:

"Can u tel me which movie is tiz dialogue frm? Hahaha, Scared edi?"

At that moment I was like OMG I got pranked first thing in the morning. But the day didn't end with just that one. Later after business statistics class, having played a few rounds of chor dai dee. Pheebs said that why nobody didn't prank anyone at all? So MARWAN, came to the rescue and propose a prank on someone. I immediately slapped the idea of Mr President AKA Jon Chu's car. I propose the idea that Jon Chu's car had a hit and run case in which his car's back was totally wrecked. Just picture a Proton Saga which back was hit at like 90KPH and there you have it.

Here's the list of who were involved:
1) Marwan - The Actor, his dramatic appearance to the class with bad news for Jon Chu.
2) Paul - The Crafty Accomplice who increases Jon Chu's fear
3) Phoebe - The Producer of it all, without her there won't be a prank
4)Su Yen - The Photographer, her video taping skills is one of the key elements to make this prank a successful memory.
5) Me!!! - Who gave the idea who to prank and details on what to prank.
6) Jon Chu - The victim who we Punk'D. Without your cooperation this can never happen. Thank You



The VIDEO IS UPLOADED. WOOT...

And I did another prank with someone just now. I admit I was being very spontaneous the whole way until the end. Here's how it goes:

**Edited**

I will post tmw. I think I still prefer the one week one post style for me. If there is something interesting I may post more. And oh yeah, if your names aren't on the list, that means I forgot and you can kindly tell me that I forgot and put it back up.

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.

Update...

Ah. Well yeah it's my fault for not updating. Er, my excuse will be erm, plain laziness. So yeah, that's my reason. You guys can start throwing stuff at me. *ducks head and run away*

Well, exam's are over. Wohoo.... I think I did great. English 102 was tough, but yeah I felt that I didn't stray from the essay question this time XD. Marketing Principles... I did good. Despite whatever people say about me. Whether my answers are too short or whatsoever. For Moral Studies, it was good. Can answer most of the questions. Bit surprise why Mr. Warren gives so funny questions. A lot of religion question which weren't in the syllabus.

Last week Friday night, my campus youth zone had a movie night. It was showing "Facing The Giants" which is really inspirational. Guys should check it out; it's about a football team that kept losing until the whole team turn like 180 degrees towards God. There were a lot of comical moments too.

Honestly I was really inspired, that night when a friend talk to me about my Marketing Principles paper. He said my answer were too short. So after confirming with a few sources, I realize maybe I did bad. Then I think to myself, there's no really need to worry about it. Since everything is given by God. I just do my best and He will do the rest. So yeah, that wipe out my doubt immediately. Plus, I went in with the thought I will do well. Anyway, enough crapping for now. I will return sometime soon. Cheers...

Hunger and Thrist

My heart raced as I journey back home after talking to Joel about this week's message. As I think on what he said, "We must always hunger and thirst for righteous." What does he really mean by that? It means that WE must get out of our so called "comfort zone". We must always keep hunger and thirst what we truly want. An example he gave me was that if you wanted a new phone, camera, game console or anything is not within your allowance or budget. What will you do then? Wait around for the things you want to drop on your head? No right? We will think of ways to get it. Ways such as working, saving your cash, and sacrificing the extra things that we use everyday. I believe most of us know ways to achieve that thing you want so badly.

So in the spiritual terms, how is it different? Well, it's also in the same way, just that the goals are different. In some sense, it's to strive to be like the best person out there. Hard to achieve? Yes. It's like when we take upon the name Christian. What does that mean? Sure the textbox answer is that we are followers of Christ. BUT!!! What does it mean to be followers of Christ? Followers of Christ are people who WILL go to the ends of the world to preach the word of God. If you think ends of the world is far, then look around you. How many people are out there around you who are NOT Christian? So why do we do? We sit back and just wait for God to come and take us home? He might take you and he might not. But which is worse? Meeting Him in person and asking us who did we really reach out to. Or staying back and facing so many tribulations? So to hunger and thirst for righteousness, it’s a never ending striving. It's like can you be the most righteous man in the word? If you can, then you are most probably filled already.

Another example would be your grades. If you get an A or B or C or a Pass and you are okay with that, that is not striving, that is just being happy and where you are. If you aim to get like an A+, then that is a goal. But what if you cannot achieve that goal? Then just continue. Same like in a spiritual context. Do you dare to take the risk to be violated, beaten, look down upon, and be called names? I tell you the truths, if you can do that, then you are just like Jesus. I mean, suffer then suffer la. Jesus also suffered for us. Do not forget the humiliation that we have watched on Passion Of The Christ.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled" Matthew 5: 6

It Rained...

Have you ever wondered why God use rain to destroy mankind? That question came to my head as I was driving today. Why not use fire? He could have ask Noah to just hide in a cave and shut himself up.

But in the end, God did sent the rain to earth. I remembered playing a game once, and one of the NPC (Non-Playable Characters) said that rain was to cleanse the body. But the body, cannot be cleansed thoroughly. As I sit here typing out this post, I think of how dirty and unworthy I am towards God. So many times I told myself I would get my heart right with God, yet so many times I failed him.

Lately, I been doing more thinking than usual. I always think of what if I did this instead of that, or what if I had never took that road that leads to where I am now? Then I realize, there are endless possibilities. For all I know, I could have taken 1 wrong step and end up a situation worse than I am now. I could also be in a better place right now. So the more I wondered, I realize I should not be thinking about it.

But if I had taken another road, I might not be what I am today. But there is an assuring quote that reminds me. It is the statement that my Malaysian Studies lecturer told me and the rest of the class.

"My dear friends, everything happens for a reason."
Mr. Warren Lau

I guess there is a truth in that. The things that happen around us, the things that we all see and do, will always have a reason. As I think about things that happen around me, things like failing a test which I just had. I tell myself, I can learn from what I did or I choose not to. See, I believe that every time we come upon a stumbling block or a bad time. We can learn from it, or, we could simply choose not to.

Reflections...
