Christmas and all it's festivities are coming to an end. The short-lived enjoyment that were reflected in the eyes of the MMU'ians are like an awakening from a love sweet dream into a terrible nightmare of reality. Nonetheless, we had some good fun.
MMU Christian Society's Christmas partay~

Church had Elvis singing them into Christmas morning while the Teo family had turkey for us. It was naish~ Licking, singing and fishing were great fun. Stynie~~

My Christmas night was spent eating some delish' BBQ chicken wing, lamb, pork, potato, epic cheese spaghetti, rat's tail noodles, lots of beers, a bottle of black label and half a bottle of swing. Can't wait for FYB (Final Year BBQ) comes along and another chance to get Wayne to do his final year thingy~ heh~
fan the flame
my epic bbq wings that blew myself away
Saw this thing in church today under the Tiun's bag. Thought it was funny for it to be there in church.
Last night's dinner, feeling the reel from the BBQ, I thought to myself, "Might as well do another family BBQ", and thus, it came to pass.
yes, using the mini-batt fan saves trees
this was sunday's dinner - drool nau~
Well. Assignment due dates and exams, here we go.
To all final year peeps reading this, save up RM 15-20 and we'll do one last epic BBQ kay? This is for ya, lulus~ hehe~
There's just something about Teddy. Something refreshing.. something exotic.. something different that I just can't put my finger on. It's like crossing garlic with caviar and red wine.
from the lack of excitement of life with lot chean..
..comes Teddy, the bear
teddy driving.. rawr~
Teddy, being a bear is rather unique for its species as it has no paws, no distinguishable mouth nor jaw, no irises in its eyes nor any ear holes and above all; no stick nor hole. But according to lot chean, it's a 'he', not a 'she' and after giving some thought, I beg to differ. It'll b easier to give it a hole than a stick ergo, it's a 'she'.
see.. no stick nor hole
But if there's one thing that Teddy's good at, it's drumming. Teddy's paws are specially design to give that warm, round sounding drumming that's so often lacking in today's playing style... and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

the Sunday of 21st Dec 2008 shall be known as Red Sunday
esther dear has a screw loose, hence the screwdriver
After many many long days of planning, drafting, writing, designing, composing, practices, drilling, practices, props, practices, traveling, practices and back-breaking, the real night came and boy was it fun.
men shan't live on bread alone..
We persevered through many long, tough, sleepless nights all with the sole purpose of giving glory to God; the purpose of the existence of the coined TGBTG - To God Be The Glory.
thanks teddy for those comforting words...
As the night passed by as quickly as it came we, the directors can't help but wonder if we accomplished what we set out to hit. Whether the message was clear and if it'd penetrated the hearts of the crowd - if lives were touched and hearts broken.
and they moved..
..with much love
To my fellow musicians, Thank you for giving God your best. Thank you for bearing with me all these times. It's my sincerest prayer and hope that all of you gain something from this musical and not see it as just 'an event' but rather remembering our existence as servants, as parts of the body that is this musical. I pray that all of you would as I, only use your gifts to give glory to Him who gave us these talents in the first place. I love you all, I truly do.
God bless
As the night drew darker and the flashes of the cameras fades, the casts and crew left the hall to celebrate, a small group of people remained because for us the work ain't over yet.
suspension killer
We packed all we could into our humble vehicles and transported them safely to YAC. But since it's worth packing, it's worth over-packing - much like a Top Gear challenge. heh~ Joash, you rock.
the box survived... so did the Christmas tree
All of you did a great job and I believe that God is pleased with all of you who serve Him faithfully.

Now for the rest of you non-Starcraft readers who are already bored of this, here's some sensitivity stuffs. I present ya the band, Red (thanks to Felicia for introducing her fav band), and Anberlin (thanks to wayne and justyn for the hugs in klang uh... stuff).
Red Pieces
I'm here again A thousand miles away from you A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am I tried so hard Thought I could do this on my own I've lost so much along the way
Then I'll see your face I know I'm finally yours I find everything I thought I lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole
I've come undone But you make sense of who I am Like puzzle pieces in your eye
Then I'll see your face I know I'm finally yours I find everything I thought I lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole
I tried so hard! So hard! I tried so hard!
Then I'll see your face I know I'm finally yours I find everything I thought I lost before You call my name I come to you in pieces So you can make me whole So you can make me whole

Anberlin Dismantle.Repair
One last glance from a taxi cab Images scar my mind For weeks've felt like years Since your full attention was all mine The night was young and so were we Talked about life, God, death, and your family Didn't want any promises, Just my undivided honesty, and you said
Oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better Oh oh, things are gonna change, oh, they're gonna change
I am the patron saint of lost causes A fraction of who I once believed (change) only a matter of time Opinions I would try and rewrite If life had background music playing your song I've got to be honest, I tried to escape you But the orchestra plays on, and they sang
Oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better Oh oh, things are gonna change
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through Dismantle me down (repair) You dismantle me You dismantle me
Give me time to prove Prove I want the rest of yours (prelude) Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you It's not that I hang on every word I hang myself on what you repeat It's not that I keep hanging on I'm never letting go
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through Dismantle me down (repair) You dismantle me You dismantle me
Save me from myself Save me from myself Help me save me from myself Save me from myself
Oh oh, things are gonna change now for the better Oh oh, things are gonna change
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through Dismantle me down (repair) You dismantle me You dismantle me
It's been another crazy past few weeks with what little rest days taken up by everything but anything of what I really need. Been living on an unbelievably tight schedule with assignments and mid-terms biting my arse. Not to mention doing the work of a director, making fair, right and wise decisions, paying bills that aren't my own, and of course, dealing with people.
Nonetheless, it's been fun.
poor poor tired people
In the midst of craziness we managed to celebrate Ana-chan's 21st burfday. It's truly a wonder why she's still single.. come on guys, ya'll blind or wut? >.<
the gathering
the surprise
the gift
the happy ana-chan
another Christmas thingy: The Given Gift (aCt:TGG) is just 7 exciting days away. To miss it would be a great loss indeed to one's self. Sure, we sell DVDs of it for an insanely cheap price, but nothing beats watching it live so do make an effort to come.
director - she directs
Fortunately, the past few weeks I've been stuffing myself with Some Good Food®. Most of which would some how or rather have something to do with the ever so lovable pork. Been eating pork almost every single day so much so I can almost literally feel my cholesterol level sky-rocketing. But hey, for the sake of attaining that Some Good Food® what's a few years of life being taken away anyway? heh~
good food from Wok & Pan
some really good food from Jia Jia
awesome char siew fan from Melaka Baru
pork satay be epic
Cholesterol.. naish~ Can't wait for the hols to come. I must and definitely will stuff myself silly (even more if i already haven't). If possible, I'd wanna find my good ol' dear friend in KL. Till then, pushing on till the end.
Now before the local boys in blue come storming into my home with the pretext of ISA (not that you know where it is anyway), let me now reaffirm my anonymous internet rights (if there's such a thing). As the MSC Malaysia Bill of Guarantees no. 7 says, "Ensure no Internet censorship", I shall now speak my mind freely, uncensored..
QUICK! CLOSE YOUR EYES!!
heh~
The Star recently printed a rather interesting article that the p2p community would find rather interesting.... heh~ The article featured my favourite torrent site, thepiratebay.org in the technology pullout of the paper, In.Tech and it talks about piracy.
"The Internet is an open and neutral platform where users should be allowed to share content, knowledge and anything else, anyway they want" ~ Peter Sunde, The Pirate Bay
Here are my two cents; it is the existence of piracy that enabled and empowered Malaysia to be what it is today. Without them, our engineers, techies, designers, and business people would be missing a leg, hopping around like a headless chicken. Frankly speaking, not everyone can afford MsWord 2003 or Adobe Photoshop. Seriously. Without piracy our government wouldn't be where it is too.
Therefore I salute thee, piracy. For such a name is but an irony to the revolution that you bring to the world. Breaking down the greedy, capitalistic, hoarding, illiberal, covetous companies and organizations who refuse to let even a single penny slip past their fingers, sitting behind their comfortable leather chairs, shielding themselves behind the laws of men.
Thank you The Pirate Bay and Xun Lei. Thank you for the bright future you've given cyberspace. It's because of entities like you, we can progress in this exciting digital age.
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!
