| what happens next?

First off, our beloved Ps Joel from Philippines was explaining to me the difference between bible colleges and cemeteries seminaries.

"Technically speaking, there’s a big difference with a Bible College and a Seminary. Some people use the terms interchangeably but a seminary is the next step above a Bible college. A college offers Bachelors' Degrees, while a seminary is graduate level offering Master's degrees and often Doctorates ".

Gotta love Ps Joel. Would love to be his student one day. hehe~

Well.. It's been almost 3 weeks since Final Year Mission Trip '09: Philippines. The 20 of us (including Ps TKC®) are back in Malaysia safe and sound and a lil' sick'ish here and there. No worries, no one was infected with the AH1N1 virus or as I like to call it, Ahini.

Most of us have completed our studies and are now either have a job or are jobless. A few exceptions; the special few of us are still studying. We're slow and dumb.
/frowns

In any case, we came back to Malaysia exhausted from the journeying but yet filled, brimming with knowledge and experience. Ps TKC® said to me in the bus on the way down to Melaka (yea, i'm sitting next to her), "Now to return back to normal life and face the reality (of life)".

As much as we would love for this feeling, this energy to continue and last, life around us as we know it would tend to suck it all up and out of us and we would be no different from how we were before. Much like how we're energized in youth camps and later back to school, returning to the rascals that we are. But.. I guess for that to happen, it would only mean our initial focus and expectancy was wrong and/or the effort on our ptart wasn't enough. One-hit-wonders are dumb. This a journey, not a lottery ticket. Char Siew rocks.

Celebrated brother's birthday on one of the weekends at Sibaraku. No, we didn't eat at the teppanyaki. Instead, we ate at the sushi restaurant next to it. Same shop, different food.

dad and mom

mom's teppanyaki beef

sashimi bento

the desserts, peanut ice cream, something & something

I'm a firm believer and practitioner of good value-to-price ratio. The food was good but the price wasn't worth it. There's a missing picture of a sashimi boat with 9 slices of assorted sashimies and it costs more then RM30++. Atmosphere was good but that's just about all there is to it.

Since returning, I've been serving for two weeks in a row already and I predict many more weeks to come too but that's not A Bad Thing®. To serve the Lord gives me much joy after all. Good to see that the church is still in one piece. No explosions nor disasters happened.

thank you for the wonderful time last sunday...

the planning continues..

Initially, my internship for Industrial Training programme was to start on the 1st of June but as I've decided to go for the FYMT'09, God opened doors for me to push my training date 3 weeks later and thus, I started my training on the 24th June which would mean that mine will end 3 weeks late too, on the 24th October. I'm currently doing my internship at Infineon (hopefully, God be willing, can get a job here in the future too). My department acronym would be IFMY IT OS DOA CS which stands for Infineon Malaysia Information Technology Operational Services Desktop Office & Automation Client Services. heh~

my desk..

So yea, my department is technically first level support but is actually level 1.5 or so. We fix things the helpdesk people can't fix. As for me, I'm currently under Back Office & Projects, meaning coding, etc. Fun stuff, really. Working at Infineon is rather normal I guess..

the usual police

the usual imprisonment

the usual POW gatherings

I kid about the above. The pics were taken on 3rd July, Friday. There was a bomb threat. The police came and everyone evacuated the buildings and waited at the car park for a good solid hour. Imagine, a solid hour of baking under the sun. Crisp~!

starbucks is back~ yay~!!

Yesterday (Saturday, June 11th), my family went to another Japanese restaurant to celebrate dad's burfday which is on June 13th. So yea,

Blessed Burfday Dad~!!

We went to one of my favourite high value-to-price, namely Sakura House. It's a house-cum-Japanese restaurant run by a Chinese - nice~

dad and mom.. again~

baby octopus

soft-shelled crabbie

pregnant, bone-friendly fish

sashimiiiieeessss

The above sashimi costs RM30.. and it rocks. Hereby rated Some Good Food® due to its awesome taste and value-to-price ratio.

That's all I have for now. In this walk.. this journey of life that is ever straight and narrow, may God give us peace and grace anew all the day through.

Nite peeps~

| viva la vida

Despite it being mildly melancholic, it is still one helluva catch tune, hence the title which in this blog usually have little or no connection to the post at hand (or web browser, depending on how fussy you are).

Neways,

Blessed Burfday To All Feb Babies!

But since I wasn't able to take pictures of all ur cakes and stuff, I'll only post who I have and who is but the form following the function of what, and what I have are the pictures of...

Miss Jessika Woah~

Blessed burfday she had indeed. She was so happy, she stabbed her fugu cake for the fear of poisoning.. I think.

it cries pink tears

spreading it around like a severe case of Much Love®

In fact, with that much love requires a certain amount of emo to uphold the thin balance of Much Love®. Despite it being a joyous occasion, two lovers were separated by a foot thick wall. To make matters worse, Vain too advantage of the young Sally Brown.

bawwwww~

as if this blog needed another reason to eat up bandwidth

Anyway, I dunno if it's well known or not but teppanyaki buffet-restaurant Sibaraku serves in between lunch and dinner rush hour, some awesome tea-teppanyaki. On Saturday, Becca and I went there for some late lunch and despite having the fear of being stuck in a long queue thanks to good ol' commercialism Valentine's Day, it was pretty nice and quiet. We had quite an awesome time of stuffing ourselves silly with Some Good Food® though I'm not here to show ya pics of the food but rather of some awesome chocolate fondue in action.

the chocolate was the tempation

the bowl, my brilliance

the sweetness, her allegiance

And after getting lost for nearly an hour and participating in some illegal activity that could easily get me jailed; they were, after all stored in a 5.56x45mm ammo crate, this was the only safe picture that I'm able to reveal without jeopardizing my safety.

MAI EYESSSS!! IT BURRRNNSS!!!

Finally, my parents in their awesome logic dictated that rather than spending RM600 in a hotel buffet dinner thingy, they'd rather spent 'em money on some awesome Chinese food and boy were they right.

salmons yummy

yes, i do know CNY was over loooong time ago

once again, Some Good Food®

it be crabs!

Ended the night with some good view and a whole lotta thinking.

i've only personally brought 4 people here

Nite peeps and have a fun week!

| a good break comes with a sick price

previously on wontdieone.blogspot..

On a fine Saturday evening, after a good prayer amongst directors, Deb-dear chased all of us away from Aero Arts Room so that we won't interfere with her no. 17 move, the Spread-Eagle. heh~ So the five directors alongside with the Band and friends went down (or up) to Sibaraku restaurant in MP for a good teppanyaki buffet~

trust the fat kid on them chopsticks

eating bots - transform and fat up!

We ordered our first wave on the ordering papers and then went out of our comfortable private rooms to grab some awesomely superbly unbelievably.. crappy sushi at the bar. I know it's a cheap Japanese buffet for RM22 but for crying out loud, those sushi were bad. It's so bad that it's not worth taking them on my camera - that's how bad they were. IMO, bananas are cheap and should never be mixed with sushi. Heck, they shouldn't even be part of the sushi.

sotong ballzzz

Fortunately, there were other so-so stuffs worth eating at the bar outside of the rooms. Balls of sotong(s), tempura veggies and small fishies, mushroom soup, other-thingies and some very tempting ice kacang-ness of which we didn't touch.. at all.. seriously.. *sob sob* The that we did touch though, were GOOD~

mussels with butter

clockwise from top-left: lamb, oyster egg, more lamb, fish slices

8 portions worth of tau-gays... the girls are nutz

members of a mj's neverland-ish club.. brrrr.. felt a chill

We were pleased.. nauseatingly pleased. We ate so much till we had bellies protruding out on us so much so we had to slouch else we'd look stuupid and pregnant (more of pregnant than stupid). The guys walked around while the girls.. well, they do what all girls do best - they shop (window or otherwise).

new shoes for sunday service

The next day, I woke up early in the morning for Sunday service feeling all fine and dandy. After lunch though, things start to deteriorate in my body but as hard as I tried to push it aside, I couldn't. By the second round of night practice, my body was on the verge of collapsing and I went home - shamefully defeated by the sickness that has smitten me like a cat in the rabbit's eyes. Fever and flu has got to be the most irritating combo ever. Worse off, despite sleeping very early I had a nightmare.

joo haf failed noob

Woke up feeling sick though I had to study for my two midterm paper tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday. yay~

May ya'll be luckier in health, studies and monetary-wise than I.
Nite peeps~
