It was like every other night. I was practicing my dart throwing in the house compound. The air was fresh and the breeze was as refreshing as ever. It was a normal night. But it seems the word "normal" isn't known to me.. I walked into the my house's kitchen to catch some chilled Coke and eat some sweet chocolate. All of the sudden, the atmosphere became unusually calm. And before I knew it, there was a short circuit and power was cut off. Darkness surrounded me. Behold, an eerie light shone behind me. As I slowly turn to take a look, a strange being appeared before me. The being had 3 eyes and a strange antenna like thing on its head. "I come, in peace.." It muttered with a squeaky voice. Flabbergasted, I couldn't find any words to reply him.

"I !@#$*%, from the planet Zoltang, is in need of your assistance." he continued. "My planet is dying and is in dear need of certain resources from your planet." He said, pointing to my suddenly opened fridge. "Surrender it to us, or we will invade and destroy your puny little planet! Mehmehmehmeh!!". Toblerone, Brovil, and Coke, or the destruction of Earth? Don't make me choose!! Noooo!!

Scorching sun. No sight of water anywhere (except the longkang next to me. It's after class and though it's 4.30pm the sun is really frying lots of things down here on earth. But hey! The sun is my source of strength. Juz like Superman, he flew as close to the sun as he could before he spun the earth around to turn back time to save Lois Lane. Haha~ Okay, let me rephrase that again, the Son is my source of strength.



*30 minutes ago*



I could've waited for dad and bro but knowing their timing, they would be late. And knowing myself, I hate to wait. Actually it's difficult for me to sit still and not do anything. So, I picked up my bag and started walking towards home. I felt real dumb as I was the only person in my view to wear long sleeves. Everyone around was giving me a funny look. I quickly disguised myself as a retard with a bag hung from my head. They bought it and I carried on.



But something happened as I was walking down the road in the middle of nowhere. The sun didn't seemed THAT hot as I sense an object overshadowing me. I looked up.. and smiled. A huge tree gave me cover as shrouds of clouds covered the people back in Exodus. I leaned on the tree that "hugged" me. Soon after, a blinding light from a far made me cover my eyes as it drew nearer. As the lights fades 2 familiar faces greeted me with smiles..

I entered the car.

And went home.

So what if I'm dead tired right?



Who am I kidding. I'm suffering like mad mann! I've been having really short sleep hours these few days. Why? Cause there's always something else to do before you sleep. But hey~ I ain't complainin.



So last night when I came home after fetching SP back to her house, I saw dad and bro playin darts~ Yeap~ My dad bought a dart board when we went KL 2 weeks ago. Real cool stuff (though I seriously sux in it). So I parked my bike, changed, and went to join my bro. As I was walking out to the house compound, that walked from the kitchen and pass me a glass of Coke. But it was no ordinary Coke - it was Bacardi with Coke. Yeap~ Finally, the liquor that's been dormant in my closet has been put to good use. My dad mixed the drink nicely. It was real smooth as it went down my throat. Years of experience working in a bar in UK would teach you that sort of stuff.



So I was getting ready to play but then, suddenly I pain on my arm caused me to hesitate. But I knew I would still carry on even though the pain was sorta killin me. Think - my nickname. So we were throwing and throwing and throwing. Then bro took out a bottle of Royal Stout and later dad took out a can of Carlsberg. Imagine 3 guys at night, wearing nothing but shorts, playing darts while drinking Bacardi. It seems the liquor had somehow improved our throw. Or that's what we would like to think. Hahhahaahah~ Dad was showing off his old darts that he used back in UK. Looks real classy. He even made 1 for bro and 1 for me. Too bad I'm not really that good, but for my father's sake, I would train myself to throw with precision. As for the game, dad has always been the champion. He's juz too damn good I tell ya!

Jesus would you light my way
Jesus would you light my way

In every word in every scene
To live for One who died for me
What grace is this that saved my soul
My God, my God, I give it all

All I ever want is
All I ever need is You
All I ever want is
All I ever need is You

Whee~ I had a good time today. SP and I went to MP, and I mean juz the 2 of us. No one to kacau us. So first off, we went to Sushi King for dinner. We talked and childishly fool around. I dunno, sometimes it feels great to act childishly. Reminds me that I'm not so old after all. Hehe~ I gulped down my food like a hungry... me, as I didn't eat my lunch.



After that, we went shopping for SP's new shoes. Her old ones were, *ahem* gnawed by her dog to the point of useless. And so, the hunt for the 'perfect' shoe was on. We went to every shoe shop in MP - compared the prices and design. SP even admitted to me that she was very 'inn-chim' about this kind of stuff. Which gal ain't huh? After dragging out feet to every store, we narrow our choices down to one particular brand. Well, I've forgotten the brand name but the design is simple and the color resembles a seasoned jeans. Nice touch to the jeans she is wearing.



Earlier, we bought movie tickets to Jackie Chan's latest show, A New Police Story. When you hear the name Jackie Chan, the first thing that comes to your mind would be? Action? Stunts? Well, the list goes on but I'm not gonna trouble myself. This time, the story has more drama as we see a broken-down drunkard Chan being haunted by the fact that his comrades' blood stains his hand. As expected, there were lots of real dangerous, but cool stunts too (done by Jackie himself). What makes Chinese audience stayed on in the cineplex to the ending of the credit is Jackie's trademark of showing bloopers of his stunts in the ending of every movie. Real cool~ There was one particular scene where Jackie was on a speeding bus that was tearing tru the city's pasar malam lookalike and the bus ram through a few vehicles. During that scene I whispered to SP, "You see the car that was hit by the bus? It was me driving it." "Sampat!" was her only reply.

After the show, I took her home in time for her dad to return home from work. Exchanged hi's and bye's with her dad before speeding off into the night.

What a day.

I'm so exhausted from lectures in the morning that while watching the show, I had a really bad headache. It seems the headaches are getting more frequent than usual. Hmmm...

So here I am, sitting here waiting for time to pass (and the rain to stop). Cursing the lousy so-called broadband connection in the CITS Alpha Lab. So what if MMU placed new computers in CITS? The connection is still as bad as ever! But I gotta give some credit for the Windows XP and new NEC keyboards and mouses. They're real smooth and easy to type and scroll.

Since I have 2 hours to kill before my next lecture starts, I wanted to watch some game movies and trailers at GameSpot. And so I did. I got to watch Sims 2 in action and a few other upcoming games. At first, I thought I could bear with the frequent buffering and lag. But after a couple of time I gave up and started to surf for anything interesting.

Ahhh.. Yes.. "Looking" for something interesting isn't as easy as "finding" it. So the head-cracking fiesta starts. Typing in "junk" or "cool" in googles didn't help much as I was literary flooded with junk. Searching for "interesting" was even lamer. And then suddenly before me, a glowing red "S" appeared on the monitor and I knew it was my destiny to check out Smallville. I opened a second window and typed in "superman" (i like to multi-task a lot), and behold, a whole history for Superman formed in front of me.

With the knowledge bestowed upon me, I shall now use my super-human powers to uphold the justice of Smallville Malacca! Watch your back evil-doers. A new hero's in town.



~fee, fi, foo, fum.. i smell.. the fingerprints of scum!!~
Ace Ventura

Acorss the heavens I fly. My wings spread out in it's glorious form. And everynight, together with 3 other angels, would go to the bed of a girl who's being prayed for by her loved one. He would pray,

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
Bless the bed that she lies on,
Four corners around her bed,
For angels around her head,
One to sing,
One to pray,
Two to look after her,
Till the break of day.

I do the praying :)

Good nite peeps.

*sigh* After all the hype and news I've been getting from people, I thought I could finally catch them live in KL. Well, so it's not as big as it was supposed to be. But I'm all set and geared for this. And so, on Saturday afternoon, we head off to the Big Apple of Malaysia, KL.



Went to Sentral and bought our tickets. Went to look around the impressive bus station. It's quite a shocker as the whole place looks more like a shopping complex than a bus station. Real cool.. Heh~ As we went around posing as dumb tourist, we almost forgot about the time. We had 15 minutes before the bus leaves and we haven't had our lunch yet. Desperate, we went to our only option. We were saved by A&W. Another cool thing about Sentral is that it has a few fast-food restaurants that other shopping complex in Malacca doesn't like Marry Brown and A&W. So I ordered the Horny Corny Dog Meal while SP ordered some cheap lousy burger. *ahem* We paid, took our food and ran for the bus in the speed of Singapore drivers. Luckily, we managed to get in the bus on time. While on the way, SP had a phone call and sadly, we couldn't stay on for the event due to some.. 'unexpected' reasons.. Nonetheless, we were keen on spending some time in KL before we head back to Malacca on the same day.



After a 2 and a half hours drive, we eventually reach Pudu Station, KL. As we step down from the bus, we were greeted by ever cheerful beggars and 'odd' taxi men. Being ever careful, I placed my wallet in my undie - juz kidding. SP wanted to go to Petaling Street to check out the stuffs there. And so, we took a cab and arrive at our destination safely, thank you. As I paid the guy SP whispered to me, "We should've walked". I was sooo tempted to say 'I told you so but nooooo..' Hahahah~ Petaling Street didn't change since the last time we came, so much so that we could easily trace our steps back to our old hotel, where we stayed last December. Once SP was satisfied, our next destination was Plaza Sungei Wang which translates to Money River Plaza (what an impression on the prices there huh?). We went around and the place is as pack as ever. What caught my attention more (as I told SP) is that how the people are dressed there. I couldn't tell if they were prostitutes (no offence) or really poor people who can't afford more cloth to cover their body. I looked at SP and told her how much I thanked God that she's not from KL. She hit me back saying vice versa. Hahah~ That's my gal. So we walked around carrying these heavy looking bags and though I was so keen on acting like I was from some western country, SP didn't want to play along. When we were in front of the counter of some shop, I would looked to SP and say to her with an Australian slang, "Gosh, I will really miss Malaysia. What time is our flight back home?". And then SP would stare at me saying "You want to fly so much, fly me larr!". Hahahaha~ Chinese people would understand what that means.



Like before, we almost forgot our time and we had less than 30 minutes to catch our bus. We got out of the complex I spotted a cab on the across the road and so I grabbed SP's hand and walked across the ever busy road with calm and ease. Luckily, the cab driver was a quite friendly Indian with a short fuse on the road. We told him about our bus and that we're short of time. He said he'll get us there as fast as he can and gave, quite a menacing grin. This is when I truely "know" how good of a driver a KL'ian is and let me tell you, they are one heckofva good driver. The cabbie cut in and out of the lanes with ease skidded his tyres a few times and eventually got us safely to Pudu. He wanted only 8 ringgit but SP and I agreed on giving him 10. We = generous (my father would call us moot chui. that's the idea, he ain't there. Hahahahah!)

Went to the loo to 'pump' our petrol, and got on our bus. We took Jebat Express instead of our usual KL - Melaka Express and boy did we make a big mistake. The dumb bus took 4 hours to reach Sentral. Why? Because he stopped at Alor Gajah, Masjid Tanah, Cheng, and then only head for Sentral. Okay, so it's partially my fault but what kindofa bus takes 4 hours from KL to Melaka?? I mean, even I could take 3 hours to walk from KL back to Melaka... Okay, so I can't. It juz doesn't make any sense. *sigh*

Though we were short on time, we had quite a fun time in KL. Makes me think of my coming December holidays. I plan to go KL with SP and spend a week there, juz like last year. This time, maybe I would call my bro and my cuz and we could bunk in Aunt Helen's crib instead. Who knows? I guess we'll juz have to see in time.

Everybody have their own way of expressing their hearts right? Well, for me, my heart is all written down in a red-hardcover book. Whatever that's in my soul is composed. I dunno bout you guys, writing songs is one of the only ways to soothe my heart in times of trouble or despair. So far, I've written 71 songs (1 still in process) and I target myself to write 100 by the end of the year. Hmm.. Shouldn't be to hard.. I hope..

Ahh... Gonna grab my guitar before I sleep now. Tomorrow, I have a looooong day a head of me. I will only update my blog on Sunday or Monday. Good nite peeps!

Fridays were meant to be my *ahem*, "Happy Day" as I only have 2 hours of lecture from 8am to 10am. Whoohoo! Since our lecture was about Business and Technical Communication, my group (consisting of Aaron Wee, Irvin, Alex, Led, a dude, another dude, a girl and me - 8 in total) decided to go ahead with our group project, educational visit to Infineon Malacca. So after lecture, we went to BBU Apartments to discuss our workplan. We wrote a formal letter, watch some Chrono Crusade in the same time too. Hehe~

But..

SP called me from her school and asked if I was interested to go for a movie. If there's an opportunity, don't miss it. Hah! She told me to meet her at 12pm. So after finishing off my work, I sped off to MP and reached there exactly at 12pm. Think - professional stunt rider. And like a good boy (as always), I waited for her at KRR. 12.30pm. Still no sign of her. Luckily, Syikin came to the rescue and killed my boredom. 1.30pm... Still no sign. But this time, coincidently all my ex-classmates were lepaking in MP and they so happen to pass by KRR and after seeing me, they came in and yap and yap and yap. After a few minutes, more friends came and eventually, there was a whole bunch of High School boys standing and sitting in KRR.



Before I knew it, SP and her friends arrived. After saying good bye and all, we head off. First stop, the cinema. We actually wanted to catch The New Police Story but we were.. 25 minutes too late~ Though you travel so far, boy I'm sorry you are, 25 minutes too late. I could still hear her say~ Lalala~ Oppps~ Went off singing again. Muz be the Malaysian (Sux) Idol fever again. Hah! Instead we executed Plan B - MAKAN!!! Whoohoo!! (and gluttony's a sin.. hehe..) Food Court seemed to be the best (and cheapest) place to eat. SP and I had Black Pepper Mini Wok. Superb as usual and though the gravy was a little water down, it was still ok. The usual and often customary bowling game was next. After a rather good game (without my own black bowling ball.. *sigh*) we went to drink some good ol' Roibo! (formerly known as Quickly). Rebekah came and chatted with SP while I prank around with the rest of the girls. I wanted to take her pic with my HP but she was rather shy. But who could resist the iron fist of Andrew Liu. I am, after all - EVIL... Muahahahahaha!!



In the end, it was quite a fun day. Really thank God once again for letting me have some purely good fun. Heh~ I miss SP. What's new. :)

Since I have a splitting headache, the family went to The Club to kill off the pain. I couldn't play well due to.. certain reasons. But hey, I did kill off the headache. Thanx God for that. The headache was really starting to get on my nerves.



So we went to Malacca Club and to our surprise, Un Wong was there too. So as usual, I played the table tennis and badminton. Beat my bro on the first round. Okay, so as I've said, I couldn't play well. And with that, I couldn't beat my bro on the 2nd round but I accept my defeat gloriously. *sigh*



Thankfully, we had a good meal (Un Wong paid for dinner Heh). Food was good and all. But still, though troubled, my heart was at peace. Somehow, there was a lovely moon in the sky that cut through the dark clouds. Heh.. God really knows my heart. *sigh* What a relief. And for a second, I almost forget the beautiful moon and the lovely sun that God made for me to see. Soaked with sweat and beaten up. It felt good.

i'm weigh down.. somehow, these pass few days i've not been myself. lately, i keep getting frequent headaches and i get dizzy very easily. like last night, when i was in the house compound with dad, i suddenly felt so dizzy that i almost fell into the pond. *sigh* tell me whats going on inside of me? i despise my own behavior.

right now, i'm having a splitting headache and it's really irritating me. feel like smashing my head on the wall several times juz to counter the pain. i wonder if there's anyone out there who goes through this too. what a torture..

I'm feeling weak now. Normally, I wouldn't say that I'm weak at all, but I guess typing is okay. *sigh* It sux when you partially know your future. It's like having a huge concrete wall with the words "INEVITABLE" carved on the wall.
All you could do is juz watch helplessly as the blind and deaf bus driver speeds to the wall in the bus you're on. The worst part is that you don't mind dying, but there are other people on the bus as well.

Well..

I feel like crap today but luckily, I managed to pull of some fake smiles in front of my parents. Don't wanna spoil their day. One of my principles in life is, never let other people know when you're down or depressed. Chances are, that you'll pull them down with you. Better to take the beating all by yourself, rather than dragging innocent folks along for the ride.

Truthfully, I almost never tell anyone about this.

But..

Ever since I started blogging, I've been very open (only in the blog). Whatever nonsense I feel like putting in, I could. So now, I'm telling the world out there that I really, honestly, inexorably feel like crap. *sigh* I wish I could cry..

Disappear - jars of clay

I watch you smile, you steal the show.
You take a bow, the curtain falls in front of you.
You're magical, on display.
I gaze into your eyes, you turn to look the other way.

But I'd really love to know.
I'd really love to climb,
My way into your heart,
And see what I could find.
I'd walk into your skin,
Swim through your veins.
See it from your eyes.
Cause I'd really love to try, yeah.

Standing still but in my mind trying to escape.
Looking for a place to hide.
It's not safe but I'm so near.
Invading every place you go to disappear.

But I'd really love to know.
I'd really love to climb,
My way into your heart,
And see what I could find.
I'd walk into your skin,
Swim through your veins.
See it from your eyes.
Cause I'd really love to try,

I'd really love to know.
I'd really love to climb into your soul.
Walk into your skin,
Swim through your veins.
See it from your eyes.
I'd really love to try.
I'd really love to try.

I want to get inside the you you're hiding from.
I want to get inside the you you're hiding from.

Invisible is what I am,
Seeing as far as your eyes can,
Unknown to the world or to any man,
Invisible to you is what I am,

I want to disappear and hide,
I want to seek my solace for I'm dry,
Unnoticed though I'm by your side,
It makes me want to run away and fly,

Away into the sky so high,
Through the dark storms and flashes of light,
Turning around as I try to find,
I looked away as I weep and cry,

I wish to disappear into the shadows,
Run away from the bickering society,
Over the hills and to the medows,
So now, would you fly with me? - WontdieonE

"You all are gonna suffer this semester!! Muahahahahaha!!"

NOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo!!!

Huh? It.. It's juz a dream.. Well, actually it's real but hey, I'll pretend that it's juz a dream.



Hmm.. Second day of a new semester. And I *ahem* almost woke up late for lecture. But luckily, I'm a light sleeper and I was awaken - by the sound of a cricket. Went to lecture hoping to be "surprised" and all that stuff instead, I saw a guy calling out to me as I entered the hall. Ahhh yes.. Aaron Wee has decided to join the party. He's in the same group for business and technical communications subject. The first word he said to me was, "This class is gonna suffer!". I chuckled at his remark. *sigh* There goes my concentration. Well, atleast he brought some interest in the subject to me. I do pray to God that He'll grant me concentration.



Yeap! Big world, here I come!

Actually I don't have really much to say here. Right now, I'm juz having fun killing mozzies with my dad's new toy - the mozzie zapper! It's actually very entertaining to watch defenseless mozzies being burnt as thousands of kilowatts surge through their tiny little body. Awww... Aren't they cute? But in truth, it's actually quite frustrating to hunt down those sneaky parasites. Someone must've informed them of the new weapon of mass destruction. Damn traitor! Slowly, but surely, they all will fall to the ground without pride - without honor. Muahahahaha! And we, blood bags will rule the world!!

Oh? Wait..

That has already happen. *sigh*



Dr Evil: Juz to let you know, I have a whole bag of *shhh!* with your name on it.

After 3 weeks of hibernation, it was finally time for my brain to awaken from its slumber. As the lecture was going on, I could've sworn I saw my brain hopping around in the hall, leaving entrails of slime along the way too. Hahaha~



Nah~ Nothing like that happened *duh?!*. Truth be told, I'm actually quite fired-up for this new semester. Hmm.. Rare indeed.. Andrew Liu and fired-up-for-studies doesn't really go hand in hand. But, as the new lecturer introduced herself and began the lecture, I was assiduously paying attention to every single detail of her lecture. And believe it or not, at the end of the lesson I couldn't even remember one word she spoke. Hahahahaha~ Juz kidding~ I know I'm blurr but I'm not THAT blurr okay?! Hehe~ Yea, I did pay attention to the lectures and I admit, I did lose some concentration along the way too. See! Honesty really works! Right... Hahaha~



My lecturer gave the synopsis for this sem - short time, more info. *sigh* I've always wondered why they have to cram up so many chapters at one go. I find it hard challenging to keep up with the lecturer. Luckily, I have one lecturer from my past semester teaching my group, so I'm quite familiar with her teaching methods. Hmmm... I wonder if people will believe that I looks juz like that underneath my clothes. Hehehe~

Floating in the midst of coulds,
I feel free dreaming of you,
Though troubled by a myst of doubts,
I know my dream will come true,

My mind keeps pressing on,
Pushing the thick leafs away,
In this jungle nearing dawn,
Focus that I may not stray,

Oh how I long to see you,
I go crazy as my head juggles,
The day will come when I get to eat you,
Oh my precious beef noodles.



Hahaha~ Gotca!

Alright, so my room's a mess. Well.. My room's not exactly a mess, but my cupboards definitely look liked a fallout of a nuclear calamity. Since my 3 weeks of holidays are now officially over, I said to myself, "Heck~ Might as well clear up this mess and start off all over again."

And so... I did.



As I separated the junks from the 'stuffs with sentimental value', I found my old copy of Fung Wan Online Beta. The sense of déja vu bedazzled me as I held the cd in my hand. I recalled how I 'happened' read about the upcoming MMORPG, Fung Wan Online in The Star InTech. I, being a fan for these kinda things, e-mailed P.H.O.E.N.I.X. Games Studio (now taken over by Eden II) and filled in the necessary requirements. Sure enough, after a few days I received a snail-mail with the my Fung Wan Online CD and some information about the game in it. Excited and all hyped up after reading the comics through again, I installed the game that night itself and went under the alias 'Winterfire'. It was the best name I could think of to suite my saber-wielding fire/cold elementalist. After reading through each clan's profile, I made my choice to join the Sword Worship Clan (SWC). They were the ones responsible to protect the 'Ultimate Sword'. Even now I reminisce about the clan wars we had and how, in a special event, we had to defend our clan shores from the invading 'True Atheist'. So what if we has a corny name? He's EVIL!!! In a huge battle, we managed to push them back to their boats and delivered a kick to their arse. Heh~ That, my friends, is the world of Fung Wan Online. I played through 4 out of 6 stages of the beta testing period and then, I had to stop as my exams were drawing nearer. But still, it's SOOO COOL!!! *sigh* The game has already gone 'gold' and pay2play. So the CD is my only physical memory of that fabulous game. It's so cool, it's even better than RO!! HA! take that RO fans! =P



Soon, reality kicks in and I continued to clean my room. At the end of it, I gazed into the CD's title, "Fung Wan Online". My beta testing days are over.

Catchy no? This is my final farewell to my 3 weeks of holiday.

So...

Good bye.. *sniff*

I'm gonna miss you.. *sniff*

The 3 weeks was fun.. *sniff*

The time with my family.. *sniff*

With my friends.. *sniff*

With my love.. *sniff*

I thank you.. *sniff*


Hahahaha~


Who am I kidding? The truth is I'm actually excited for my new trimester~ Somehow I have the mood for lectures now. Hahaha~ And in truth, I thank You O Lord for giving me the holidays to reflect upon alot of things. Thanks for dealing with my life~

I’m back!! I hope ya’ll don’t miss me too much. Kekeke~ Well, incase you’re wondering where have I been, I went to KL last Friday and I juz arrive back home today. And yeah, I had a good time there (though there were those lonely nights there). Took a couple of great shots with the digicam too. warning: images may take some time to load. wahahahaaha!




We left Malacca at 12.30pm and reached Aunty Helen’s place at Kepong at 2.30pm (due to the heavy traffic on Fridays we took 2 hours). Had our lunch there and played some PS2 with our cuzzies. My cuz, who’s also a youth leader in his church, proudly exhibits his 12-stringed Yamaha acoustic guitar to me *drools*. As I stood in awe, I wondered, why is everyone getting super brand-new guitars? And I reflected my back on my quest for the new X. Hmm~



With the help of Aunty Helen, dad rented a place at the Golden City Condominium, off Jalan Ipoh. On the 6th floor, we had a good view of the city. There’s also this sweet clerk at the office who was kind enough to walk all the way up to our room juz to pass us the remote control for the air-conditioning after dad complained to them.

Later that night, we went to my uncle’s shop, SKL INTERNATIONAL (DIY) to mess around with his things. The shop proudly displays sets of original Leatherman Tools and other cool blades. My uncle also showed us a stun baton that has a produces a really grim, shocking sound when activated. According to him, it could knock a person out for 15 minutes. I wanted to try it on my bro but his skin was too thick. Hahahaha~ Juz kidding dude~ My bro’s fascination for blades and other long.. hard.. and *ahem* sharp thingies really got the best of him when I showed him a blade that looks like a samurai sword. Me? I was attracted to the (name, forgotten). I also got myself one of those high-powered LED headlights for a real, and I mean really cheap price. If Allan knew about it, he would cry I tell ya. Hahahahaha~

Went back to the condo that night fascinated with my new lil’ toy. Hehe~ But wat fascinated me more was the KL nightlights. Took a couple of nice shots with the digicam.



The next day Uncle Ng and family took us out for a really huge and heavy lunch. We had – Indian rice. Think – Indian mixed veggies, crab cooked with spices, fried baby squids, and fish head curry with a seriously HUGE fish head. See the pix and you’ll understand. Really..



After having a satisfying meal, we headed for Midvalley Megamall! Woohoo! I didn’t exactly take any pix of the place (don’t want ppl to think that i’m from some ulu place that doesn’t have a megamall). But I, *ahem* did take an interesting pix of an anonymous girl who was sitting down but her pants was so low, it revealed her butt.. Really.. Juz for the record, my parents were the one who showed me the girl and told me to take the pix in the first place, so I’m innocent ya~ Hehehe~



The wedding dinner was okay. They served Wombat Hill, Australia wine and another that’s not worth mentioning here. The Wombat Hill was rather nice around the tongue but the other French wine kinda sucked. All in all, it was like any other wedding dinner I’ve attended. The cuzzies sitting in the same table trying to compete with other tables for the loudest ‘Yam Seng’ are among other things we did. The piglet was tasty. Yum yum~



The next morning we woke up earlier to pack up. By 11am we’ve already checked-out and headed for home. Quite tired but hey, it’s all okay. Touched down in Malacca and the first thing my dad do was to checkout the pet shop in front of his parked car. We had char siu fun for lunch from our regular Un Po. I had my hair trimmed juz now (although there’s no real noticeable changes). So how did YOUR weekend go? Hehe~ God bless peeps!

Ever dreamt of something that seems so real that you juz can't tell the difference between the dream and reality. No - I'm not talking about the Matrix! It's a very old show so cut that out okay?

*ahem*

Seriously, I'm sure all of us has been through it before. You know.. You dream of something that seems so surreal, that you juz don't want to wake up from it. It may be flying freely in the air like a bird while dropping bombs on poor pedestrians, or it could be saving a damsel in distress from your evil brother whom you argued with right before you sleep. I dunno.. But hey, it's enjoyable right?

Some of us even have the ability to control our dreams, even if it means in a sub-conscious level where we wouldn't know what the hell are we doing. Powerful tool indeed to control one's dream. You could easily turn that pesky nightmare into a supercool-superhero dream where you kick the arse out of the butt-ugly martians monster or whatever.

Okay, so I'm talking gibberish. Muz be the effect of drinking too much coffee again. Andrew Liu's kryptonite - good coffee. It'll either kill me or... uh... kill me... *sigh*



Quoting an sms I received earlier,

"...we are juz a dream"

It’s funny how small and simple things, reflects the big picture of life. There are juz some things in life that we could never seem to understand or comprehend in this short lifetime that God has given us. It thought me to really appreciate the beauty of it all.

On the eve of my departure to Kuala Lumpur (KL), my family, excluding dad as he’s working, decided to visit grandma back in Asahan. Most Malaccans never even heard of Asahan before. Well, let me describe to you Asahan as clearly as I can.



Asahan is located somewhere near Jasin. It’s dwelled by a small community, majority Chinese. From Asahan, one could have a clear look at Mount Ledang (yes, it’s the same mount where the princess resides). So imagine this; a picturesque landscape with trees and plantations all around, rolling hills with clear blue skies, and a beautiful waterfall, The Sagil Falls.



That’s my kampung. That’s my home. After a 40-minute drive, you could easily tell when you’re nearing Asahan. The smell of fresh air, the sound of birds chirping and the sight of cattle crossing the road, holding up “Stop” signs. Welcome to the salubrious part of Asahan.



Upon arrival, we gave grandma a very warm ‘Hello’. Her smiles could light the whole of Asahan in an energy crisis. Fighting the stroke that got the best of her, she tries to be as active as she can. That’s my grandma. It looks like we came juz in time, she was looking dull and bored. Our arrival lighten up her mood and her face shown as bright as a fluorescent light ever could. So she immediately took a deck of cards out and we played her favourite game, ‘Culik’ (Kidnap). The objective of the game is to be the first to empty your hands (or something like that. it’s hard to explain but easy to play). We had a lots of good laughs and great chats. I truly love my grandma and I thank God for protecting her and keeping her healthy till this day.

Actually, it wasn’t always like this. When I was younger (and naughtier), I didn’t appreciate my grandma and saw her as a burden. But now, I wish I had spent more time with her when I was younger and when she was still active walking around and stuff. Lesson learnt. Now I appreciate my grandma more than ever. I like the way God uses situations like these to show me things I’ve never notice before. Hehe~

Last week, I had a call from my number one daughter, Carroanne Wong, who's currently working and (soon enough) studying in Singapore. It's been awhile since I last talked to her, so we had quite a lot of catching up to do. She ensured me that she's doing fine and told me not to worry about anything. Somehow, I would still worry for her. I mean, if she was in Malacca, or even Johor for that matter, I wouldn't be too worried. But anyhow, I still lift her up to God and pray for her every night.



3 days ago, I received an sms from her, asking me to call her if I was free at the moment. I thought something was wrong or something had happened to her so I immediately called her. She was surprised that I call as she had always expected me to be busy. She gave me very shocking news; her sister told her that she couldn't stay in her apartment anymore! So now my daughter is searching for a place to stay in Singapore and if possible, not too far from her work place. But through it all, she told me that she's not mad at her sis and that she had already forgiven her. I'm actually very proud of her. She is spiritually mature and pray that she'll continue to grow in God. Aside from that she told me that it was nothing really serious and like always, told me not to worry. Assuring me that God is in control and everything will work according to His plan. It assured me.

If you guys don't mind, please do keep her in your prayers. Thanks!

Love Song For A Savior

I open fields of wild flowers
She breathes the air and flies away
She thanks her Jesus for
The daisies and the roses in no simple language
Someday she’ll understand the meaning of it all

He’s more than laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday she’ll trust Him and learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call her and she will come running
Fall in His arms and the tears will come down
And she’ll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

Sitting silent wearing 'Sunday Best'
Sermon echoes through the walls
A great salvation through it
Calls to the people who stares into nowhere
Can’t feel the chains on their soul

He’s more than laughter or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat or a song on our lips
Someday we’ll trust Him, we’ll learn how to see Him
Someday He’ll call us and we will come running
Fall in His arms and the tears will fall down
And we’ll pray

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

You want to pray

Seems too easy to call You Savior
Not close enough to call You God
So as I sit and think of
Words I can mention
To show my devotion

I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You

“KFC arr?? Hah~! I tell you ar.. That is the last place on earth I will eat. In fact, even if the whole world has only KFC as a means of fastfood, I still won’t eat there! You dunno ar?? KFC’s oil is soooooo unhygienic and they reuse it over and over again. So what you eat in your buggers and frikens are actually germ-infested and fat-ful-gross-out-recycled-fatty-oil!”

That, my friends, is what you would hear if you ever ask my dad to eat in KFC.. or Mc D’s.. or any other fast-food restaurant-except Kenny Rogers ofcourse. Hahaha~



So today I had the chance to go out again and every time I do, I appreciate every moment of it. Holiday’s gonna be over soon. *sob sob* This time, we had some company, 2 of them (who are SP’s friends). So we went around doing everything and all. Met up with Rebekah so that SP could pass to her a gown that she wanted to borrow for an installation night cum friend’s bday party. At the same time, we had some tofu drink and rojak in MP’s food court as we chatted about.

Later, we went to watch a horror movie, The Ghost (Korean). It was a choice between Anaconda 2 or The Ghost and both of them are not shows that could actually entertain me. Being a person who has watched far too many shows and could quote lots catchy lines, I could easily guess the plot and where the story would head. So, using my *ahem*, skills I tried to scare SP. As I waited for the cheap-sudden-scare to happen, I got my hands ready to give SP a good shock.. Well.. I ended up getting scolded by her. “I tell you! Next time you don’t scare me like that okay! You know or not, I can’t sleep at night if you do things like that!” Hahahaha!! Sorry gal~ But for what it’s worth, I had fun irritating you throughout the movie.

Later that night, the 4 of us went to our ever-faithful More Café to grab a bite. We were greeted by our old malay friend who works there part time. I ordered my usual drinks, Ice Blended Cappuccino while SP ordered Ice Blended Peppermint Coffee. Her friends ordered Ice Blended Chocolate and the other ordered Sour Sop. I was the first to get my drinks. After that, the waitress served SP the wrong drink. I felt a mess coming to shape and so I waited for it. After talking to the waitress and trying to sort out the somewhat little problem that seems to be going on, another waitress apologized to us saying that the girl was knew. Since I’m the only guy there, I put on my macho-bravado face and said with a deep, cool voice, “It’s okay..” She blushed. Hahahaha~ So that didn’t happen at all okay. I ain’t macho or anywhere near there. I’m an ugly guy with a horrible laugh and a low self-esteem. But anyway, I did say okay without the deep voice and all. After tasting our Japanese food, we realize that it taste like crap! SP and I noticed a big difference from the food we juz ate and the food we used to eat here. So we called our malay friend and asked him if they had a knew chef. Caught by surprise, he said yes and asked us if the food was really that bad. Being all nice to him, we told that it sucked. Bad. We were told that the old chef went off to start his own Japanese cuisine business at a food court opposite of More Café. While eating, the waitress that apologized to us earlier came and asked us to comment on the food. We roughly told her what we told our friend. She suddenly asked for an introduction. I won’t give out her name due to the privacy policy that I have. *ahem* So we chatted a bit and now we have 2 friends at More Café to give us extra discounts. Woohoo!!

After everything, I sent SP and her friends home. Seeing that I still had some time before the clock reaches 12am, I took a slow drive home. Right.. But anyway, I reached home exactly 12am sharp as a sharp object of some kind. *laughs arrogantly* Now that’s what I call good driving.

Aside from all the (very) lame jokes and all, I truly thank God for another day of fun. I really appreciate the time that God gives me to have fun as I realize that time is short. With that, He opened my eyes to the world around me and gave me a new perspective of life at whole. Living life in heaven on earth.

All My Fault - Fenix TX

I guess we had our fun
But it seems the fun is over now
And it's alright
It's alright
Time for me to move along now
After all that's said done
I'll be alright
And it's alright

Tell me something that's sure to break my heart
Cause everything's my fault
And I know I'm sure to be alone
Cause everything's my fault

Here we go again
Unsucccessful to make ammends
But that's alright
And it's alright
Tried to tought us again
But again can't seem to understand
But's it's alright
It's alright

Tell me something that's sure to break my heart
Cause everything's my fault
And I know I'm sure to be alone
Cause everything's my fault

I guess it's over now
Your honesty has all run out
But that's alright
And it's alright
I juz can't seem to see
How the hell you can make believe
That it's alright
It's alright

Tell me something that's sure to break my heart
Cause everything's my fault
And I know I'm sure to be alone
Cause everything's my fault

Everything's my fault



that's how i feel all the time..

for nokia True Tunes for this song, call Andrew Liu!!

If the camera would juz pan slightly to the right, I bet you could see my NS Camp at the bottom of Mount Ledang. Hahahaha~

Well, I juz watched the movie today and surprisingly, I find it to be pleasantly surprising, that the Malaysian movie did quite a good job making a great show. Yup~ I actually enjoyed it. Hah!

Okay. The Princess Of Mount Ledang, or famously known as Puteri Gunung Ledang is about a tale of love and loyalty to the country. The story begins in Majapahit where the Princess and Hang Tuah fell in love while the Sultan of Malacca was visiting Majapahit. Before departing, the princess made a promise - if Hang Tuah didn't come for her, she'll go to him instead when the time comes. From there on, the story comes to live with historically incorrect plots, but it doesn't matter. Contra to what my bro commented on the movie, the show had cool (and sometimes corny) fighting scenes. Since the director took most of the plot from Hikayat Hang Tuah instead of Sejarah Melayu, there's alot of flying and explosive powers (corny) in the fighting scene but it's all done nicely. Well.. Most of it. Actually there's only 3 fighting scenes. The rest of the show is a slow paced love story that ends up potraying Sultan Mahmud as a constipated dude lashing out at everyone for his inability to shit properly.

Overall, it's a good show. For more info, please read your history books or you can call your history teacher up and throw a bunch of questions at him concerning the Hikayat and the Sejarah Melayu. Hehehe~ Aaron and Joanne's reviews are quite interesting too - contradicting each other.

Yea~!!! Praise God for everything He has done and for everything He has given me~!! I pass all my subjects for my first trimester's finals!! Wheee~!! And for a second there, I thought my Moral and MicroEcons was a goner~ *Whew~!* I really praise God for the passes. Only He is worthy!

Finally. After weeks of working and saving, I finally got my hands on it!! Steven Curtis Chapman Live DVD and Jars of Clay: furthermore!!! Okay.. So I'm a little behind time and everything but who cares?! Woohooo!!! I’m soooo happy I tell ya!! I spend more than a hundred bucks on the dvd and cd but it’s really worth the money to me. More things to add to my cd collections.

Later that evening I watched SCC’s live performance. His instruments, A Fender Strat and a Taylor acoustic guitar. Well, that makes 2 Taylors in one day. Hahahaha~ SCC also played a 12-string electric guitar but I couldn’t catch the model. All I could see is the beautiful headstock of that X. Soooo cooool.. *drools*

Steven Curtis Chapman is a cool and spunky dude. From what little I know about his biography, his dad owned a music store and so, everyday after school little Chapman would go and sit at a corner of his father’s store and play the instruments. His father knew that his little son would go the distance in God’s plan for him, and sure enough he did.

His songs are all about praising God and everyday life. I was first introduced to SCC by Jason Teoh (si fu) during one of our High School CF meetings when I was in Form 1. He played SCC's song, Fingerprints Of God. From the moment I heard that song, I had a sudden interest in SCC's music. Fingerprints Of God was the first SCC song I ever played. He wrote that song for his daughter who wasn’t too happy about how she looked. So, Steven told her that he could see the fingerprints of God on his little daughter. Deep and cool.

About Jars of Clay - my favourite acoustic band. The first song I learned on a guitar was joc's Love Song For A Savior. When my bro thought me that song, I was 12 years old I think. The simple Em D G chord were the chords that sparked the passion of playing guitars in me. Jars of Clay has been known for their dynamic acoustic songs and instrumentals. Maybe some of you guys remember their hit song Flood from their first album a long long time ago being aired on Hitz.fm.

I told myself, I would get my hands on the Taylor Jars of Clay Signature Model (Taylor JSM) in the future. One thing’s for sure is that my future wife would definitely disagree on that. Spending thousands of bucks on a guitar. Hahahahaa~ Oh well, my future is in His hands. As Steven Curtis Chapman would say, life must go on. God bless!

Church today was.. well.. okay. There are some stuffs that has been happening in the church and it’s really sort off, in a way, turning the church up-side-down. But it wasn't that bad. We believe that God has His plan in the hearts of His people, the heart of the church. Thank God we have.. Uh.. God – The center of our lives. Today, Ps Samuel Han preached to us about change, as in change in the church. Ok lorr.. But to me, I still miss P.J.



So after church I went to the musician's corner to chat with Edward, medical student of Gateway. Then it appeared like a bright radiance from a distant. It struck my eyes and almost blinded me in the sudden dazzling flash of light. I cover my eyes in shock. As I slowly opened my eyes, it stood there – The Taylor. Waaaa!!! I stood in awe (like an idiot) as my saliva wets the church carpet. I raced to the guitar only to be beaten by Jason Teh, the best musician in church. I didn’t mind as I really watched Jason messed with the guitar and the super-cool Fishman External Equalizer that the Taylor was jacked to. I watched and learned as much as I can from Jason and kept those finger movements burned into my memory. Taylor is a goooood guitar. Too bad I can’t afford one.



Vera. The pictures of Crystal and Sean are for you. God bless girl~

Today, my dad proudly displayed his 20 year old wine, The Blue Nun, to me. I gotta hand it to him. He keeps a whole bunch of wine and liquor, but never seems to touch them.





p.s - do nuns really make wine? juz kidding~ hahahahaha~

Superman once said,

"Weeeee!! Look at meeeeee!! I'm flying!!! I'm flying!!!"

*BAM!!*

SON: Gee~ That was one big bird eh dad?

Dad: Yea.. Well, that's our dinner son. Go get the fire burnin'.

The usual morning - dad woke me up to catch some breakfast. Looked at the mirror - same ol’ face. “Okay.. Everything’s where they’re supposed to be - right where I last left them.”

Right...

Okay. So what about breakfast? No big fuss right? Right... "So where do you guys wanna eat? Sinho Garden sounds good?" dad asked. We nodded our head with whatever consciousness we had. While driving, dad drop some real deep info on the Lai family - John is gone!! *gasp!* Yes girls, I’m afraid so. Your ever lovable-charming-handsome beef stall owner, The Cool Dude, is no more doing any beef business. It seems he got tired and bored of working there so he left the business and went to Batu Pahat to work for his uncle, doing some electrical stuff instead. Sad indeed. But either way, we did our part and supported them.



Upon arrival, Un Lai and his perpetually cute daughter, Jane was there to greet us. Ordered our drinks and food. For me, it was my usual Kopi Ice or Iced Coffee, and a big bowl of scrumptious Beef Noodles. Ahhh... Breakfast indeed. While gulping down the beef noodles, Un Lai treated us with his new product, Fish Head Bee Hoon - without the bee hoon. The fish head was really appetizing and the spicy soup greatly enhanced the flavor of the fish. Lip-smacking it was. So says Master Yoda.



Feeling hungry despite reading this after eating your meal? Drop by The Lai’s Beef Noodle Stall at Sinho Garden, Bukit Baru. After eating there for sometime, you’ll get a special cash-voucher worth RM10!! Wow!! Okay... So you won’t get the voucher. But at least you’ll get a satisfying meal. Hehe~ May God keep your tummy full peeps!

I found my bro’s old WWJD wrist-strap or at least I think that’s what it’s called, and other Christian stuff that he threw away as I was sorting out the junk at the storeroom a couple of years back (2 years I think) and kept it in my room drawer. 3 days ago, it juz so happened that I was looking for something and I checked my drawer and found those straps and crosses. Anyway, staring at it really brought back lots of old memories... Horrible memories of my bro's backsliding times, and even worse, my own. Well... I dunno if I should be posting this because I really feel... Actually I dunno what I’m feeling... It’s more or less mixed feelings of guilt, sadness, and above all, fear.

Here's a little history. My bro was youth leader. In my eyes, he was a great youth leader who lived a life that no one could match. Together with him was his 2 other 'brothers', Jason Teoh and Neo Wee Liem. Sounds familiar? Indeed they do. But something caused him to change dramatically. No one would've predicted him to fall. Those who looked up to him, were devastated. I'm one of 'those' people. He changed so much during that period of time. He threw all his Christian shirt, his cross, and other stuffs into a plastic bag and chuck it in the storeroom. One day during a Team Meeting, our Youth Director, Aunty Agnes announced that my bro had stepped down from The Team. She made it clear that my bro had left the Team and was not on sabbatical leave. It stunned most of the people in the room that day. I could remember the vivid picture of it so clearly. Even today, when I chat with Aunty Agnes, sometimes I would tell reminisce to her of how much I missed my bro being in the Team. Aunty Agnes would give her ever cheerful, "What to do?" look and smile. I thank God for placing her in my life - the wisest 'mother' the youth ever have.

You know, there’s actually a lot of pressure being a youth leader. Yeap~ You heard me right. I bet a lot of you people who didn’t know I am a youth leader. Shocking ain’t it. A guy like me - a youth leader. It’s so hard to guide the youth of your church while you yourself struggle with everyday life. Hahaha... Okay, so that’s nothing unusual to me. Struggling is common to me and to every Christian out there. But like everyone else, I have my own skeleton in my closet. I've done things that are so stupid, so shameful that somehow made me lose my way. The worst part was that I went through this while still being a youth leader! C'mon mann, I backslidded while still being a youth leader! Looking back, I could never imagine myself ever doing that but that fact is, I did and that will never change.

My past did happen and I could never ever turn back time to change it. But at least I could look at all the unimaginable things I swore not to do but yet still did it, with guilt and be reminded not to ever fall from the same mistake 3 times. Yeap, I've fallen twice before but I will not fall the 3rd time! By God's grace and mercy that I hold so dearly... By His love, I am protected from my ever haunting past. God loves me and everyone who reads this blog and everyone who blogs. No one escapes from His love! So now, once again, I wear my bro's WWJD strap and cross in remembrance of the past and as a lesson for the future. God bless.



King of Glory enter in...

After having worked out and gobbling up a hardy meal, it was time for us to digest. So as we were relaxing, we had an unexpected visitor. It was Aunt Jenny and my lovely cuz, Su Pheen. I'm sure we all remember her right?



After saying hi and all, mom and aunt Jenny chatting while Su Pheen, bro and I naturally did the same. But, Su Pheen and I had an interesting secret topic about a girl... A *ahem* special girl. Well, not specially to us, but to someone else... Hehe <-- Evil laugh

All the sudden, dad took out a whole chicken roasted with Teriyaki Sauce and placed it on the table!! I'm a sucker for Japanese food (even if it's juz the name). But somehow, I didn't have the stomach for that delightful chicken. Though the sweet aroma of Teriyaki sauce was coursing through my nose, I resisted. I myself felt wierd. Knowing that I would actually love to have a piece of that chicken, another part of me says NO. Having compelled to juz watch TV instead of sinking my teeth into some juicy-tender-Teriyaki-charged-chicken was torturing!!



Juz as they were leaving Aunty Jenny suddenly asked a very wierd question, "Aaron, I thought you had an accident?" Then there was this sudden look of shocked on bro's face. "Who told you that I had an accident?" he curiously asked. "Oh, Su Pheen told me so." Aunty Jenny replied with a small giggle. Ah ha! I smell conspiracy! Okay, so actually the truth was that bro sms'ed Stephanie and lied, saying that he juz had an accident because Stephanie's bf, CK juz had an accident too. So Stephanie, being Su Pheen's close friend told Su Pheen and she told her mom about it and they decided to drop by after their church service.

Awww... How sweet and thoughtful of them. Too bad. They juz got suckered by, Gaylord - The Midnight Suckist!





I apologize... That was LAME.

Well... It actually depends on your personal definition for the word celebration. For us, celebrating my dad's no-illness meant that we went to Malacca Club and sweat it all out in sports.

After resting for an hour or so, the family headed for Malacca Club: Rotunda. We played our usual sports - badminton and table tennis. I dunno why but naturally, I would be stiff when playing badminton. Meaning like I won't run to where the shuttlecock went. In other words, I would suck in it. But not today. Today's game was fun. Somehow I was fully charged from the head to head to toe *ahem*. So I didn't mind running around and eventually, I beat my bro in 2 games. Eventually, dad gave the signal to depart - his stomach was really hungry from last night's fasting. It didn't help him cause while he was fasting, we were feasting. Hahaha~

After a heated arguement on where to eat, we eventually pointed our fingers to our usual Malim Foodcourt. We parked the car, got out, and dragged our sweat-drenched shirt accompanied with a horrible odor. And as usual, people stared at our dripping-wet-with-sweat sports attire as we tranquilly walked to our table.



Well, initially I really wanted to eat my usual fried rice but it seems they were out. Sadden but determined to get my stomach filled, I ordered a 3 ringgit Hong Kong Chee Cheong Fun and a large bowl of Penang Asam Laksa together with my regular Iced Coffee. Yum Yum!! Hehe~

Call me fat and I'll scream.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

After having sleepless nights worrying about his "symptoms", today is the day when he would make certain of his condition.

My dad has been complaining about an uneasy and bloated stomach. Even worse, he went to a church friend who gave him a quick check up and was told that his abdomen has an abnormal hardness. Naturally, the doctor told my dad to get the check up early than the planned date. My dad, who's thought filled with fears hoped not for the worse.

"It could be a stomach ulcer or a growth... Or the worst case scenario - cancer..." he thought to himself.

Here's the shining part about being in a christian family comes in. 2 nights ago, we prayed for my dad. We meaning mom and I - bro was missing in action (can't remember where he went). We prayed in faith that there will be nothing wrong with my dad when he goes for the check up and that whatever problems and discomfort that my father is facing, will be immediately healed and taken away by The Healer of our home - The Big Dad in Heaven.

2 days later - today, was D-day. Woke up in the morning and rushed to MMU on my bike and settled my problems once and for all. Without delay I called my bro to ask if the procedure has started. Luckily (or rather unlucky... i dunno), the Dr Leong told us that his clinic was packed and told us to come back around 3pm. My father looked calm when he returned (i came home earlier as instructed by my dad) with mom and bro, but I could sense the hidden burden in his heart. I could feel and sense his worries through his ever cheerful smile.

September 10th 2004, 3pm

We headed for HPAK, Pantai(beach) Ayer Keroh Hospital. Upon arrival, in front of the doctor's clinic, we mustered our faith and stepped in as my father's name was called. After that... Somehow, there was a huge relief. Bro and I started cracking up jokes after jokes. The procedure that my father had to go through is called Oesophago-Gastro-Duodeno-Scopy (OGDS). Long name? Well, basically it means a scope going down the oesophagus, the stomach and the duodenum. Yeap.. Juz like the ones they used on SP when removing her appendix. I have the VCD kept safely in my room. If anybody wants a copy, it'll be RM5 okay? "Mari mari! Kualiti bagus punya!" <-- sounds familiar?. Hahaha~ Juz kidding dear~ So we got to watch as the doctor sprays dad's mouth with a soporific substance (of which i've forgotten the name for it) and injects him with a sedative. My bro and I accidently laughed out loud when we saw the nurse using a KY Jelly Lube on the scope. Not many people know what's the use of it but we dooooooooo... Okay, let's not stray from the topic. So he puts the scope in and checks out dad's stomach wall and took some samples. Thankfully, there was nothing to be worried about though the tissue sample showed that there was some bacteria that could be easily taken care off.

When my dad got his senses back we jokingly told him that he juz went through a Colonoscopy instead of the OGDS. In case you're wondering, Colonoscopy means a scope going up your arse. Think - the movie Evolution. Hahahahahaa!! We told dad that if he felt anything cold around his butt, it was the scope. Dad, though still a little lethargic, nodded with a slight chuckle. See, that's what you get if your mom's an Operation Theater (OT) nurse - you know everything! Anyway, my thanks to Dr Leong. He is a great caring doctor. According to mum, he is the only doctor in Pantai with a great attitude.

So, at first, we came into the hospital worried. But we left the hospital with charged-up faith and a huge smile. Thank You Lord for healing my dad and taking care of him through all the circumstances.

p.s. My dad is still dazed in the above picture. Hehe. Colonoscopy - don't ever forget that word - it might juz happen to you.

You know something? I woke up earlier than usual today to go MMU juz to settle some old problems. Juz as I enter the admin's office, it hit me like a chainsaw wielding evil Barney - I have only 1 week of holiday left...

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Holiday over is fine by me. But what troubles me is that I'm no where near getting my new X! Pre-holiday recap - I told myself that I would get my new X by the end of this holiday. Time is short... muz... get... new... X...



Gotta stop eating and start searching!

Usually, the common cause of headaches are lack of liquid in the brain, too much of head-banging, and information overload. Well… The real causes are unknown but the effects of it, unimaginable. Believe it or not, in Malaysia roughly 146 people die from migraine. 492 people suffer irreversible brain damage from massive headaches. 314 children under 12 years of age whom suffer from frequent headaches don’t live past the age of 30.

Okay

So all these statistics are bullshit but hey, I have a headache. And that entitles me to say whatever I want!! *argh!!* Darn headache!! That’s what you get if you watch anime and sleep the whole day. I totally deserve this. *sob*

Trying to find the best - or rather 'suitable' grapics card that I would buy - *ahem* once I get the cash to buy a new com that is, seems to be a very tedious task. Googling around the web in search for hardware prices in Malaysia was a hell-of-a-job. I found it extremely difficult to find a site that would display it's pricelist - kiasu!

After a long way of seaching, I finally found a Malaysian URL that showed me a whole bunch of hardware prices. After reading reviews after reviews, the Geforce FX 5700 Ultra, Geforce FX 5900XT, and ATI Radeon 9800pro 128MB caught my attention. Well, call me bias but I prefer nVIDIA's Geforce FX than ATI Radeon - They seem to give more power and for a good price too.

So after checking out the prices from the earlier website, it was time to find the differences between GeforceFX 5700 Ultra and GeforceFX 5900XT, I seemed to be in favor of the XT. Its price is slightly more exspensive than 5700 Ultra (around RM45). So what if the 5700 has DDR3 memory - the XT has DDR2 but it has more overclocking than 5700 (i think). Hmm.. After saying that, maybe 5700 isn't so bad after all. *argh!!* I gotta make a stand mann!! 5700 Ultra or 5900XT? A lot of reviews says that the XT is a better choice - in terms of delivered framerates (fps). Dang!

Oh well.. Better spend time looking for the new electric guitar aka X first. The computer won't com anytime after next year. Heh! Why all the rush huh? As I would say, 'mai kan cheong'!! God bless peeps!

On monday night, Aaron Wee, my old class-mate rang me up at night, "Oi! Tomorrow wanna go Tanjung Bidara or not?" Caught by surprise, I reacted like how everybody would, "Yea! Lets go!". So it's set, on tuesday, Aaron Wee, Divesh (Babu) M. Shah, Yugaraj, (Peter) Lim Guang Yeow, Sumen, Deva and me will be heading for the beaches or Tj Bidara! Woohoo!

So I woke up around 8am to tell my father that I'll being hanging out with the guys and will be going to Tj Bidara. Before I could rest my head back on my pillow, Aaron called me up again. "Hey... I can't sleep larr.. Wanna go makan breakfast or not?". Stupidly, I said yes. As usual, I dragged my dead body to the bathroom, bathed and change into some decent clothes. Got on my bike and headed to Aaron's crib. I reached there around 9.30am and we headed off to eat some bloody exspensive yong tau foo. RM4 for some kuey teow and 4 pieces of assorted fish-cakes. *ack!* Suddenly, I don't feel so hungry.

So later, Babu came to Aaron's house in the van that would take us all to the place. Yeap~ You heard me, 8 crazy dudes are gonna travel in a van. Immediately, I recalled the mtv for Blink 182's First Date. How those 3 guys went around the neighbourhood in the van. We did something like that (or maybe worse.. i dunno). So we headed to Ayer Keroh to pick up Guang Yeow and Yuga up. Once we accomplish that, we were... complete. Hahaha~

We packed up 5 cans of beer, 2 bottles of wine (red and white), 4 skitters, 8 glasses, 3 footballs, digicam, and 1 muruku. Yeap~ We're all set. Immediately we headed off to Tj Bidara. Along the way, we made lots of jokes and cruelly tortured other drivers on the road (yes, we can do that). By the time we reached our destination, our throats were parched from all the laughing and talking. Well... Mostly laughing. Stripped to our shorts, took some pictures, flashed around. Once we got our "gears" ready, we head towards the sea, running with full of excitement. Messed around in the water and stripped some of the poor people that followed us. We even dived into the sea from the jeti that was nearby. It was sooo fun mann. Once we felt we had enough of the sea, we grabbed the football and played some beach soccer. After scoring afew goals we ran back into the sea, which was kinda weird but none of us cared. We drank our bear and laughed about cheerfully, asking about our studies and reminisce our past pranks. It was a great time.

After playing more soccer, we got bored so we headed for the sea (again). We wanted to play monkey ball but the unexpected happened, Yuga and Aaron was stung by a jellyfish! *gasp!* We kept our cool and quickly towed the two of them back to shore.

"Crap! Stupid Jellyfish! Quick, who has some piss in them faster let it go on my leg!" Yuga said calmly.

Without hesitance, Babu dropped down his shorts and pissed on Yuga~ Everyone laughed like mad people! I mean, the sight and thought of it was soooo funny!! Babu is one of the few people I know who are not afraid to show what they hold down there. Hahahahaa! So we opened the bottle of white wine so that Yuga and Aaron won't be much pain. Well... It kinda worked - for awhile. Soon the pain came back and we could see the stripes of swelling on their legs. Thankfully, the ice-cream man came to the rescue! All of us bought ice-cream and had forgotten about Yuga and Aaron's pain. Wahahaa! After much discussion, we decided to bring the both of them to the nearby Terendak Army Camp's clinic juz to make sure.

Well, they were fine but Aaron looked kinda sick on the way home. He even vomitted at the side of Babu's van. Once we reached Aaron's house, he immediately dropped into bed and I, took my motor and went home.

What a day. I feel truely blessed to be able to spend real great times with my ex-classmates. The bond between us never seem to break no matter what. Thank God for everything he's done with me.


Meet the dudes (clockwise starting from me):
Me, Aaron Wee, Deva (sesat), Giri, Guang Yeow, Sumen (sesat), Yugaraj, and Babu.
sesat = none High School

Fried chicken, or frikin as my family calls it. Gosh! I think I'm gonna get sick eating it I tell ya. Freakin frikins!! Ok larr~ I gotta admit. Eating once or twice a week is okay. But if it gets too frequent, it'll start to get freakin! Hahaha~ Sorry. I can't help it when something stupid rhymes. Especially the song (i've forgotten the name =P) from Bare Naked Ladies. The song is like, super old mann. But the gist of the chorus,

"Frikin, the chinese fried chicken, you take one bite and your brain stops tickin."

Hahaha. That's a good rhyme. But like any other good ol' frikin, eat too much and your brain will stop tickin!

In You (song no. 47)

Many nights have pass me by
Still I yearn for what I can't find
In the still silence I grow cold
Waiting for Your warm love to fill this empty soul

It doesn't matter what I did before
It doesn't matter who I am anymore
How could I ever turn away
From this love I have found faith
In grace, in You

Though I may fall from my mistakes
You pick me up and show me the road to take
And I know this road is hard to walk
You'll never let me go or turn away

It doesn't matter what I did before
It doesn't matter who I am anymore
How could I ever turn away
From this love I have found faith
In grace, in You

I'm in You
I'm in You

Many years has pass me by
And I long for You more than life
As You hold my hand we'll walk this road
And I can feel You warm love fill this broken soul

I woke up today with my soul still in dreamland - I'm extremely tired. Make that dead tired. I slept like a log. But like any other log, I woke up at the sound of my alarm (16 years of training can do that to you). Feeling ever so groggy, I fell back unto my bed and dozed off again. Time went by so slowly when you're in this kinda situation. 5 precious minutes feels like 5 hours of good sleep =).

Thoughts of what SP sms'ed me last night played with my mind. Teasing me with unwanted thoughts, I begged, "I juz wanna sleep.. Please.."

Before I knew it, my mom pulled the blanket of my face and ask me the question I've been expecting - Do you want to work or go to church?

"Dad needs me, especially in the morning... But I haven't been going to church for the past 2 weeks. My family's spiritualy life I feel, is like a paper boat facing a tsunami. Except the tsunami is still far off but it's drawing ever so close. I gotta put a stop to this. I gotta turn this ship back to shore - to safety."

Those were my thoughts. Time stood still as my mom awaited my answer. Though my body is still dazed, my mind was ever awake. I said... Yes mom. I do wanna go church. Though I only slept for 4 hours only, I somehow had the strength to jump out of my bed and got myself ready. My heart crammed with excitement. "I miss church... I miss PJ (Pastor Joshua).." My mind whispered softly.

As I gazed into the mirror in my room. I smiled. "I love my church. I love my youth... And I miss eating Wilson's Chicken Rice."

I juz don't get it. Don't you people ever get bored of eating Mashed Potato? For crying out loud mann. I got sick of it over more than 5 years ago and I haven't really eaten any since then. That's what you get when your father's in the F&B line. *sigh* Everyone was ordering mashed potato today. Weird.. There muz be a conspiracy going on to use mashed potato as a means... TO DOMINATE THE WORLD!!! Muahahahahaha!



"So what are we gonna do today Brain?"
"The same thing we do everyday Pinky - try to take over the world!!!" *followed by hideous laugh*

Well.. Atleast today's work wasn't as boring as yesterday. Got a little busy during lunch hour (which is during lunch - duh!) I did my usual top-speed-peeling-potatoes behind the kitchen. Somehow peeling potatoes are a lot of fun. I mean, after a while, you tend to try to carve them into the shape of a cute little bear... And then cut of its head a laugh away, mocking it. Or... Maybe next time I'll try something else.

Earlier that morning, dadboss bought some new insecticides for us to go on a little killing spree. "DIE DAMN ROACHES!!" *smites the poor thing* I tried spraying it on one of the crew and the results were... I think you can see it for yourself.



After 8 hours of work, I took my break. Cut my own chicken and took my own side-dishes. Didn't feel like eating any spaghetti today so I took only chicken this time. Juz when I thought I could have a rather peaceful meal alone, 2 of my father's crew came and sat behind me. When you come to KRR MP, if you are one of those observant people, you will notice that my father hired a bunch of bf/gf combos. When that guy is working on that day, his gf will also work on that day. And sometimes (only sometimes) they'll get all fired up with passion and they start doing things in the dry store.... *ahem* Like taking out extra mashpotato or cleaning up the garbage. What WERE you thinking? *ahem*



I guess I'm one of those crew who's working all alone without a partner. *sobs*

I'm gonna miss church again tomorrow. My dad says he really need me. Sg's holiday is really gonna keep us busy this time. What can I say? I'm one of the 3 *ahem* Elite Crews who got 100 bucks bonus for working. Hehehehe~

Famous tag line *ahem*: "I'm a killer. I don't act out of my character."

Woah~ Last night, bro brought home 2 sets of Samurai X vcds! There was once upon a time, before I left for NS, I told my bro to get for me the collection of Samurai X juz for my viewing pleasure when I get back. Anwyay, lets not stray away from the topic.

Lets see.. How much do we know about Rurouni Kenshin? *takes deep breath* Hisfamilywaskilledwhenhewasjuzachildandwassavedbyamanwho'sactuallyagreat
swordsmanashemastersthemitsugaritechniqueandpassestheknowledgeontohis
newfoundapprienticenamekenshinwhogrewuptobeareallyruthlesskillerwho's
juztooodamncool!! *gasp* *gasp* *gasp*

That said, I'll get back to the story from the anime we watched. Basically the show is a prequel to the Samurai X series that we normally see on tv. It tells us how Kenshin, well, became Kenshin and how he got his cross scar on his face. Besides that - It's a damn good love story I tell ya! Okay, so I'm not the type of guy who would watch love stories and get all emotional about it. When I was watching The Dolphin Bay series with SP, I even laugh at all the sad parts. Hmm.. Maybe because it was juz too corny. But when the story potrays a ruthless killer who's turn around by hidden love... wait... make that profound love, it's juz something we don't see everyday.

The drawing is different from the series (actually much better). Kenshin in the anime we watched looked more realistic and showed very (very) little emotion - think assassin. Kenshin's character is so enigmatic, it makes the ending really good. My eyes almost swell with tears. I'm not that free to blog down the whole story but from what I know, it's a damn good show and I'm keeping it in my com. Hah!

Today I was supposed to work but, hehe, I got out. So I slept till it was 2.30pm and boy it was goooood, though it did give me a little headache *argh*. Okay, so it wasn't a little. The headache lasted the whole day but I managed to keep my mind away from it. Think - mind over matter.

Okay, so I haven't seen SP for quite some time and I dearly missed her. So, woke up, hanged up the laundry, ate Chee Cheong Fan, bathed, look blurr, and off I was to Mahkota Parade (MP). I noticed something as I was riding there; normally, I would ride at top speed to reach my destination faster but today, I rode... slowly *gasp!* "Could it be true?! He rode... slowly??". Ofcourse I did. Hmm.. SP's lectures about riding and driving slowly have gotten into my thick skull.

Upon reaching MP, I immediately look for SP and I tell ya, I really miss her mann. The sight of her drove my headaches away. Her first word to me - "Babi.. Come so late". Hahahaha~ Nowadays she likes to use that word and it really sounds cute when she says it after losing something or messing something up. Hmm.. Wonder where she picked that up from. I'm guessing Rebekah Tan. So we walked around and talked alot about my bro, SP spotted him with, *ahem* another girl, as we Malaysians call it 'Tangkap Bahasa' meaning Caught Language (direct translation). So we went to buy some tickets as we haven't catch the movies lately. Being a Malaccan, I really wanted to watch Puteri Gunung Ledang but I then I couldn't use my complementary pass. Only movies that has been playing for more than 2 weeks could be watched using the complementary passes. With a huge sigh, I asked for Twins Effect II. Initially I had a bad impression on this movie. All due to the fact, that the first one actually, in all seriousness, SUCK BAD!! It had no strong storyline to hold its full-of-holes script and the ending is as dumb as a lousy D rated film. I actually wanted to watch AVP but I knew SP would be bored. She's not into these kinda things. Hehe. So it was set, a 7.15pm movie. The time then was 5.45pm (i think). But as I was about to leave the area, an old acquaintance of mine, Yugaraj greeted me from behind. It was a real shock to see him there. After all, we haven't seen each other since last year. He looked real cool with the rather thick beard and he's as black as ever. Hahahaa~ Juz as I was talking to him, Neo Wee Liem (my si-fu) and Justin Lee came up the flight of stairs and greeted us. So Yuga went to chat with Justin while I catched up with Wee Liem. He's so cool I tell ya. Like me, he's having a 3 weeks holiday and he spends them all with Church activities. Recently, he juz came back from MMUCF's camp and later, he'll be going to Sarawak (or was it Sabah?) for another camp. Coooool... *drools* We talked about his guitars and stuff. It seems he wants to sell of his acoustic guitar, Yamaha FGX series and wanted to buy something on the higher end. Maybe a Taylor or something. I told him to get a baby Taylor. Hahaha~ Sure will make him look like a sissy. Hmm.. It seems EVERYONE wants to buy a new guitar =D. And as I was still chatting with him, my cuz, Geowayne appeared and I was like, trying to talk to all of them at the same time; SP, Yuga, Justin, Wee Liem, and Geowayne. Really glad to see all these people here at the same time. Cool.

After saying goodbye and all, SP and I went to eat at McD's. I ordered my usual frikin (that's short for fried chicken, mind you =D) while SP oreder her usual frikin with rice. While eating, another really close friend of mine, Ernest came into McD with Karyn. At first I couldn't recognize Karyn and I thought since when Hwa Lii looked like that. Later, after talking to Ernest I shamefully found out that he broke up with her *awww*. Really felt bad for him. Well, atleast now he's going out with Karyn. I still pity him though. We were really close last time during Mrs Anthony's tuition. While we were still eating, my bro's friend, Daniel and Chan Ching Loon came into McDs also. They ordered their meal and as they were walking near Ernest, he said to them, "Oii... Don't seat near me larr. People trying to eat here okay." And then gave a good burst of laughter. Daniel quickly countered that and sat next to me instead. Naturally, I continued what Ernest left off, "Oii! Balik larr!" Daniel fired back his usual sarcastic remark and laugh too. Ching Loon was still around, which is good. He studied in UK for 2 years if I'm not mistaken. So everone was eating peacefully when suddenly Karyn screamed and jumped up from her seat. Everyone looked at her and Ernest. It seems she found a cockroach in between the sheets of tissue. Well.. That's Karyn for you *sigh*. IJC girls are all the sameeeee. Thank God SP's from CCS. Hahahahaah~

After we finished eating (ice cream and fries really go together. a trick i learned from Sharlene), we played bowling with Rebekah. We played 2 games and I was quite satisfied with my warm-up score. I scored above average though I was testing out new throws tought by Rebekah (she's a lousy teacher). But before my 2nd game started, Phoebe and her friend came. She asked me for her MMC card back. Somehow, her presence really messed up my game. I throwed in lots of eggs for the first 2 throws!! I couldn't throw properly with her shadowing behind me (think - evilll). I tried to catch up but I juz couldn't hit strikes, instead I got lots of spares. *sigh* After playing a rather satisfying game with SP, we went to Wonderland arcade and played couple of games there. Hahahaha~ Brought back up my inner-child. By then, it was already time for us to head for the Cineplex. Switched to silent mode, sit back, and tried to enjoy the show. Okay, so the 2nd one wasn't that bad. Had lots of much needed humor in it.

At the end of the day, it was spending time with SP that I really appreciated. It felt good going out with her. Thank God for that. =D

But before I get to my title, I'm gonna crap about work - again. It's damn boring!! For crying out loud, I don't mind being busy and stuff (it runs in the family), but to sit still and do nothing at all is pure agony! Today, from my observation, the crew was very sloppy, could've reportted them but I wasn't in the mood. They did lots of unnecessary screw ups but I guess it's normal. Mann.. I gotta stop talking like my dad or I'll end up being like him. *gasp!* And the Andrew that you all knew would be gone... forever... Hmm.. I think I heard some one cheering. =D But working today was really worth it, as I was juz about to leave Mahkota Parade, I bumped into another close NS friend, Fakrul; codenamed - Black. I was walking my way when suddenly I felt like someone was running towards me. Naturally, I immediately fasten my fist and got ready to strike (NS brainwashed me... Juz kidding), to my surprise, as I look up, I saw the same smile from a person who was once my bunk-mate. We were both shocked and were speechless for a few seconds before he shouted, " *sigh* I miss NS. Anyway, we have a short history together. I'll blog it down one day too. It's actually quite funny but I'll save it for later. Hehe~ I wanted to take a picture of him but as I reached for my pockets, I realize *gasp!* My handphone was not there!! At the moment when I need it the most, I left it in the car! With my sheer determination, I WILL get his pix and publish it in this blog along with the rest of my buddies. You get to see my without hair. =)




Later that night, an unexpected guest suddenly appeared in front of my house. All the girls out there, hold you breath - It's Allan Teh!!! "AAHHHHHH!!! ALLANNNN!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!" =P I think of overrate him, he ain't that cute or handsome. Hahaha~ =D It seems he took my bro out to do some computer-related stuffs. He tried to fix a LAN connection between my bro's com and the one in the living room. He took such a long time that my mom cooked his dinner. Since my dad is having his, *ahem* stomach "problems", mom cooked porridge, with eggs and fried onions as side-dishes for dinner. He was forced to eat his porridge (all thanks to my bro and i - evilllll) The look on his face as he ate the porridge was priceless! He kept on giving the excuse, "Umm.. Aunty, I can't eat a lot. My mom cooked dinner for me already,". My mom, immediately catching his notion said, "You know arr, we are so fortunate to be eating this simple meal, where as other poor countries have nothing to eat at all,". Dad, bro and I nodded our head in agreement - Allan is stuck for good. Wahahahaha! He tried to fix the problem with my bro's graphic card, an Albatron GeForce FX 5700 Turbo <-- Sux!! It keeps crashing everytime he loads up AVP2 while on the other hand, my com which is lousier than my bro, can run the game smoothly. Hmm... It serves a valuable lesson that cheaply exspensive computers are not as good as they appear to be. Back to the porridge, Allan was trapped with my mom's prying eyes on him. But suddenly my mom went off to her room for awhile. Seizing the opportunity, Allan quickly left the dinner table and went to my bro's room. They were laughing their butts out in there.
So much for today. *humph!* I still have work tomorrow. Good nite peeps~

Bah! I dunno~ Juz kinda tired working and stuff. Actually, I don't feel like working this week but since SP is having her Trial SPM exam online she'll be too busy and I don't wanna distract her, so, might as well work I guess. Okay, so Independence Day was *a little* busy but I've seen worse. Heh~ Half of my life is spent in MP, so there's nothing much that could actually surprise me from there. As a number of people put it, MP's my 2nd home, and I'm getting bored of home. Hahaha. Sorry for the lame jokes, I guess I'm too bored-to-death at work today that I'm brain-dead now. I'm working in the morning from 9am till 5pm, 8 hours shift. Normal stuff. Sometimes the place can get soooo busy, I don't even have time to pull my pants back up. And sometimes, I can get soooo slow, I juz let my pants fall. *sigh* Gotta find a different job mann. Lately, I've been filling my time playing Black & White. Especially my bro, being at home everyday. I'm sure he's gonna play the game as an Evil dude... He bought AVP2 today but it can't run properly on his com, so I'm gonna try to install on the family computer and see if it's the CD's fault.

Well, I didn't get to see any beautiful fireworks with SP this Independence Day due to some... reasons. No point talking about it here. But all was not lost, my daughter, Carroanne gave me surprise call from Singapore. I haven't heard from her for such a long time, she's now staying in Sg after all. So anyway, juz when I thought I was gonna spend an awesomely boring Merdeka Day, she gave me a call earlier and we talked for almost an hour - drying her credit out. Hahahaha~ She says it was worth it though. I felt honored when she said, "Among everyone that I could've called, I called you daddy!" Wahhh~ Made me happy with such sweet words. Hahahaa~ She passed her recent piano exam, a total relief for me. We talked about lots of other crap too and throughout the whole time, she kept assuring me that's she'll be okay but I'm still slightly worried though. Which father wouldn't be? The only assurance I have is that she still holds her faith in God and is ever drawing closer to Him. But from how she told me, she's doing well in Sg. Hehe. I'm so proud of my daughter. Hopefully I can meet her in Sg one day. Even better, get to spend a holiday with her in KL. Talking to her makes my official holiday worth while. =D And now, to pray for SP's trial. Heh~ Good nite peeps.
