Fact #1

2008-05-26T17:04:00.003+08:00

Why is a communication tower in Malaysia painted red and white?

A. To prevent aeroplanes and heli from banging it.
B. Red and white looks cool.
C. A measure of height.
D. To tell that it is a communication tower.

The answer is........ C!

The red-white combo signifies the height of the tower. The Malaysian Communication & Multimedia Commission (MCMC) sets the standard that each red-white segment is of 6m high. By looking at how many segments available.. we can know the height of the tower. Cool eh!

Hmm hmm... this will be a new section introducing into my blog. for those who do not know, there were two other dedicated sections as well, which is "The www. review" and "Self Evaluation".

Hahaha. This section is dedicated to quote infamous, famous, not so famous,not famous sayings and writings of the God Created people. Humanity!

Today i'm gonna start of with 1 quote. Which in my opinion a bit peverted laa.. but has a sense of truthness. It caught my attention when i was playing an online game and i noticed an open chat between some sec-schoolers... not sure whether is Malaysian or Singapore... but definitely schoolers from their immature way of writing.

The chat was about guys and girls... ^.^
And the quote goes as follow

"If a girl caught a guy masturbating, she will call him a pervert; and if a guy caught a girl masturbating, she will call him a pervert."

Sweats -_-"

The before class post

2008-03-04T14:31:00.002+08:00

I know nothing about chinese writing...

Enough... i'm off to class

The www. review

2008-03-03T14:05:00.005+08:00

This time around, i would like to introduce everyone to One Manga

The website has a huge selection of the latest and old manga scanlations, all translated in english! Yay! And the scan quality is rather good. Makin it my favorite manga viewing website.

One manga boast many genres of manga, all of from famous authors. Sorry... no doujinshi and hentai... haha... you don't need it anyway.

Intructions on how to save a manga chapter:
1) View online all the pages in a chapter you intend to save
2) Right click the image >properties and see the directory
3) Remember the directory!
4) Open Temporary Internet Files
5) Look for the images with the same directory, sort it by website. U will then see the file listed in order from page 1 until the last page.
6) Copy and paste into ur desired folder... :)

Happy Viewing!

Hoho.. a new post

2008-02-26T21:36:00.003+08:00

Finally, after playing MIA for a couple (*actually many couple... lol) of weeks. I'm finally back to blog again. Ohoh... do not speculate, i did not fall into any kind of physical and emotional mishaps; just that when i prioritise my other important stuff, i lost the 'sensation' to blog.

There's been this You Tube link that has been circulating in Friendster tis few days; and i think its gonna make big in a couple of more days... hoho

Presenting

Kuala Kangsar - RoyaL ToWN FaNTaSY

Apparently a number of talented people came up with this D.I.Y. music vid promoting a very small town in Perak. Err... that was 10 years ago... now it has upgraded to Majilis Perbandaran... during the officiating very gempak laa...

Kudos to those who had labored to build up tis music vid from scratch. I can see the perpaduan kaum in there. Though i din notice any Indians o.O

FYI as well, i spend half of my primary and full secondary school in this tiny and now congested little town. Thats about close to 9 years worth. Kuala Kangsar had many notable things as well, some of which are mentioned in the song:

1. Malay College (seen in the vid) is one of the most reputable school producing our nation leaders... err... politicians. One of which is the infamous Dr. Anwar Ibrahim... hoho

2. Clifford Secondary School (i a bit sore lo... not included in the vid) is also another reputable school producing nation's top businessman and entrepeneurs. Top means Dato' Sri, Tan Sri, and many Datuks... lol. An enternal rival to the one above.

3. SMK Raja Perempuan Kelsom (the stairs with the flood markers is shown in the vid). This is an all girls school... which since long longgg time ago manage to avoid floods... beacuse its located on the hill. This school had produced some of the nation's most "notorious" girls... such as Juliana and Ellone.

4. Dato' Sri Rafidah Aziz who is famous for APs is the ADUN. No wonder so many cars in KK until congested le. Btw... election coming... huhu

5.

8.......
too many lah. haiyo

Happy New Year 2008

2008-01-01T03:24:00.000+08:00

This year I celebrated the coming of new year with two of my good buddies, Pingu-zhai and MoMo-zhai.

We had a fun time down at Starhill, and not to mention; we managed to buy some J.Co Donuts that people was all hu-ha about. Turns out that we actually find the taste, emm... not fulfilling.. baliklah!!! Cheapskate mass produced donuts i would say....

Starhill intersection... huge crowds... can u see the FRUs situated below the Giordano sign.

TimoMoMomomo: Take pic for me; my dream car!
Edmund: Eleh... dream car konon. Malaysian mentality lah... if i get this car... i would sell it off the next day and get a japanese car. hahaha

Around 11pm, we headed to MidValley to catch a glimpse of the konon-nya hebat RM70 party.... and the upcoming fireworks. Cool 12 mins worth of fireworks to mark the beginning of Year 2008, leaves everyone who was present satisfied (with a big smile) :)

Check out some of the pics i've taken...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008
remember that its time to go Green as well...

7 Wonders of Christmas

2007-12-27T01:20:00.000+08:00

Yay... i had the most accomplishment this Christmas

1) I reminded myself about the true meaning of Christmas - which is the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!

2) I woke up early and drove to Starhill (before all the shopping complexes were open) with a car fully loaded with girls *grins* to attend Christmas church service at Menara Yayasan Tun Razak! Yay... for exploring into a new place!

3) Ate pre-packed Restoran Seri Melayu Nasi Briyani lunch box for the time in my life! 2nd yay!

4) Exchanged gifts with annonymous persons!

5) Parked and stepped into Pavillion for the 1st time! Yay 3!

6) Observed how Malaysians luxuriate themselves with J.Co Donuts! I was lazy to wait in the queue. The potong line method is to purchase the packed ready 1 dozen + drink promo. Siao ahh... eat all next day sure constipated!

7) I used Smart Tunnel on my way back, for the 1st time. Yay 3+1!

Quotes from Kuching

2007-12-10T17:55:00.000+08:00

Finally back from my 4D 3N trip at the Hope 12th Malaysian National Convention held at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Kuching. The days are filled with so much fun... practically and spiritually. 4 hours of sleep per day... u can imagine how busy (and sometimes busybody) i was.

Well... i've not yet recieve the photos from my unoffical photographers and some official photographer. I would just skip telling about my adventure, for the moment. Will be back when the pics are in my reach.

But then,

Best thing i've learnt from Kuching town:

"Wat! You think Kuching so hulu arr!"

Damn laa, beyond my imagination... got 7-11, McD 24hr, KFC 24hr, Pizza Hut, Secret Recipe...

Best thing i've learnt while staying with my roomies:

CC: Can please go away a while? I wan 2 change.
E1: Go in the bathroom laa!
CC: Bathroom wet laa... i change here.

E2: Wat is it that u have? That i do not have?

CC & E1: -_-"

The Short Post

2007-11-24T11:57:00.000+08:00

My results are out today, and so as the whole of Uniten. Overall, i'm pretty much more than satisfied over my results. I achieved much better than the goal i set early on during the semesters.

So, almost evryone of my contacts are online. Then we started comapring our results. Ssome did better than me; some i did better than them. Sometimes i do get a little envious when i hear of my friends getting better results.

But then again, as i reflect back, i am happy for them as well. As the amount of hard work they put in, i'm just having a tiny fraction of it. There this verse in the Bible, "You reap what you sow.." and it is very true. Every action has its consequences, but we merely the one who carried out God's plan. Our sucess, i believe truly lies in our hands, if we just follow what God tells us.

I really thanked God for todays results, for He has been so good and knows me the most, that each and every of my needs were taken care off. As i submit to His kingdom more and more, i felt that i'm the most blessed person in the world. Alhough i dun become an overnight millionaire, but the many little things God planned and introduced in my life had touched me in one way or the other.

I also like to take the opportunity to thank my mum and dad, for they are the ever loving supporter and provider in time of my needs. To my brothers and sisters in Uniten Caregroup, u were the unique God creations that came to brighten up my life. And to my classmates, who supported me in many ways, especially Sharon, Jasmine, and Yu Pang; it's a blessing to have all of ya all in my life today.

All glory to God. Amen.

Self Evaluation: Episode 2

2007-11-22T01:55:00.000+08:00

Ok... i'm rather bored and having difficulties to sleep.

Today, i'm back with
My Top Japan Female Artiste

There is no such thing as no. 10, 9, 8 , 7 currently
the names are hyperlinked, do click on it for further details of the artiste.

6) Mai Kuraki

One of the earliest Jpop artiste i knew when i started exploring the world of Jpop. I was just around 11 years old then, when Mp3 makes it place on the computing platform (yeah... with the help of uncle Bill's OS Windows 95 and Winamp music player)

Though i don't keep tab much of this singer as her popularity is somewhat not shining anymore, my personal all-time favorites are Love Day After Tomorrow, Kimi To No Jikan, Can't Forget Your Love, and Perfect Crime. And i think her round eyes are cute as well... 0.0

5) Yui

I always fall for girls who sings and plays the acoustic guitar and writes her won song. Haha. I dunno how her 2nd album From Me To You ended up in my computer. Her songs has a sense of classic reminiscence of Japanese pop songs. The song: Life, featured in the album is the 5th ending for the ever popular Bleach anime.

4) BoA

Ahha... the Korean who sang and still singing in Japanese. I was then intriqued and bought her album Valenti during my 1st year in uni (with my scholarship money summore) -_-"

I definitely like the way she carries her song, the kind of pop music blend you would listen daily on Disney Channel evryday, and the tune goes a long wayyy to captivate ur heart. The last best song i listened to was Nanairo No Ashita -brand new beat- from her Made In Twenty album.

3) Mika Nakashima

Hehe... i bought her 1st album True off the shelf in a music store in Ipoh (yeah.. the store is still there, it has not gone bankrupt). If i'm not mistaken, soemwhere in year 2002, in Spetember... remembered it was few weeks before SPM. I was then attracted by the packaging, but hearing once, she proved that her voice was to too damn good to let pass unnoticed.

Mika sang for the ending of the hit anime Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and acted in the live action series of Nana. Hence, i believe most guys at Cendekiawan knows about her very well too :)

2) Koda Kumi

Well, i got to know about her from the famed videogame Final Fantasy X-2. She sang the opening song Real Emotions and the theme song 1000 No Kotaba (1000 words). This singer has a sense of uniqueness in her voice as well as her dance moves. Not to mention, she has a hot figure as well... ehehehe.

1) Utada Hikaru

I just had to have too much ang pau (red packets) earnings during 2001 Chinese New Year. I got her 2nd album Distance, out of random pickings; and i instantly fell in love and remain faithful to her music till now. This is the only artiste that i having couple of original CDs from Japan and one of it having personally autographed 1st batch. Haha... still my prized possesions thus far, nah... i won't even lend it out.

PD Trip: Jalan² cari makan™

2007-11-20T15:36:00.000+08:00

Continuing with my adventures around PD. First thing to do is to fill my empty stomach. Can't do anything much when ur hungry eh...

I decided to settle with this restaurant, called Weng Yin Seafood Village, since it's one of the nearest to the condo, and it's chinese -_-"

As u can see, the bill came to RM45.30, pretty cheap considering it's for 3 persons. Guess what i ordered...

Prawns and deer meat, and the price was really reasonable. I was quite happy considering this restaurant have Indonesian Curry Prawn, which is one of my old time favourite. The gravy lacked a certain sense of milkyness (not enuff santan maybe), but overall i was satisfied. One thing to note, most of the shops... 9/10 maybe, doesn't serve pork. No pork no live... haha... well, i could endure for one day :)

Having a sumptuos meal, I proceeded on visiting PD Ostrich farm. The entrance fee is damn expensive. RM8 per head!!! and its 30x smaller than Zoo Negara! First and the last! Oh ya, its situated right beside PD Polytechnic... not far from my condo as well, but i dun encourage anyone to go.

100x uglier than the African ones i saw on National Geographic.

On my last day, after checking out of the accomodations. Me n my family decided to check out the Army Museum (Muzium Tentera Darat), located somewhere around PD 4th mile. This time the entrance is free.

The butt bigger than the cannon belongs to my mum.... haha.

The tummy bigger than the airplane fuselage belongs to my dad.... hahahaha.

Ok, back in Serdang. I was just in time to join the frisbee games with my caregroup members. I din't play though, i joined in watching :)

We had 5 visitors joining us for the first time. They're from uniten as well. And what i heard was they're were picked right off the food court they were havin lunch. Talkin about openess eh. And they do respond to strangers... hehehe.

We have three guys from Iran, which i can't seem to spell their name corretly according to the pronounciation. I shall call them Mr. M, Mr. H, and Mr. S. And two vietnamese girls, Kwan and Yen. Thank god that we are able to reach out in friendship and to have more sociable contacts :)

Last but not least again,

:)
I'm not providing ice cream this time...

PD Trip: Where the lazy 'lion' sleeps

2007-11-19T00:16:00.000+08:00

Last Wednesday, I made a short-lived trip, to Port Dickson, NS. Well, my dad was called for an urgent meeting at the last minute, and I ended up following him. Since it's my school holiday and i had nothing better to do.

The place which i stayed at, Kondo Peranginan TNB. Last minute, so this was the best place to check-in without much hassle.

The main entrance... well, the only entrance.

The front view, the balconies are overlooking towards the sea, too bad that my unit's balcony view was blocked by multitudes of coconut trees.. hmphhh!

The swimming pool. Ok i guess... only 4.5 ft deep. Good for shorties eh. But then i did not dipped for too long. Too much chlorine, my eyes started to sting after approx 30 mins of swim.

My unit's living hall. The unit boast 3 rooms: Master with a King sized, 2nd with a Queen sized, and 3rd with two singles. And the best part of it, it costs rm70 per night according to my dad's grade, and the bad part... yeah, you have to be a TNB employee in order to rent. Outsiders, never ever in your lifetime... hahah.

Last but not least, a spacious kitchen area. No cooking is allowed though... cheh.

A Joke Intended

2007-11-09T00:37:00.000+08:00

Q: Is it disrespectful to dance and sing in the place of worship?
A: No, it is not. It is most encouraged to do so.

Q: Aren't we suppose to shut up and concentrate when we're worshipping.
A: God gave us a body which moves; a mouth which speaks. Why let the talent go to waste?

Q: But my elders told me to shut up!
A: Apparently they never heard of this...

There was this young little girl and her grandmother. It was Sunday Service.

The little girl was dancing and singing with joy, all praises and glory to God. But not before long, the grandmother reprimanded her, "This is the day of the Lord's sabbath, you should be silent and worship." Sabbath is the 7th day of the week, where God intended it as a rest day; for He was done with his creation on the 6th day.

Not much the girl can do, she was starting to feel uncomfortable, for she cannot do the one thing she liked on Sunday. She decided to take a stroll outside of the church, to catch a refreshing new breeze.

Just outside, the little girl came across a tree with a pair of birds chirping happily. Observing... then she said, "Shhh!!! Keep quiet. This is the day of the Lord's sabbath." The birds were unaware. Unable to do anything, the little girl proceeded along the path until she reached a little stream. The flow of water trickling through the rocks is liken to a beautiful dancer and a melodious tune. The little girl observed and goes, "You look so happy, but can you please keep queit. Grandma said we shouldn't make noise on the day of the Lord's sabbath."

Soon, the girl came to a field, and there was a mule grazing the lustre greens. The little girl approched and said, "You are quiet different from those two I met earlier." Aware of the little girls presence, the mule looked up and observed as well.

"Well Mr. Mule, you knew that today is a day of the Lord's sabbath."
"You have the same religion as Grandma!"

Creative Arts

2007-11-09T00:05:00.000+08:00

Finally I've been liberated of my sleepless nights and mind torture.... haha... not true. My exams had just ended, with much high hopes in it. As this semester's papers seemingly to be stress free for me, i had slept more than studying.

Back on topic, I attended church as usual, but was amazed by the new deco that was surrounding the hall. Some of the brothers and sisters from the deco group had came up with brilliant artworks that leaves you go "wow, when did they had the time to do this? whose idea? given me 100 years, i can never come up with this..."

Wall backdrops by Khang Wei, Jinnie, Fei Yee, Mickey, Yong Kang, Pei Ling, Greg, and Chye Cheah:

Other artworks which caught my attention as well.

Blessing or Curse?

2007-10-24T19:13:00.000+08:00

Just after raya, my week had been very busy....
Well, i was just doin things the last minute.
Catchin up with my assignments, projects and presentation slides i have 2 complete before the semester continues.

Now i'm done with most of my work. And its time to look ahead to the finals. Since i have approximately 1 week for my revision. Yah... my paper starts on the 31st October. And ends 4 days later. Just when i thought i can finally settle down and concentrate,

This cute little buggers came:

A brand new 29' Flat Screen TV and a PS2

To make the matters better or worse?

Well, my working housemates has brought those back. And to mention, their work starts at 11am till 10pm. And i'm entrusted... with this gaming console. Ohh... how can i resist, day after day -_-"

Self-Evaluation: Episode 1

2007-10-07T02:29:00.000+08:00

Ok... i know that im supposed to be in bed!
Hafta attend Sunday service later at 9am.

Yes. i've stopped Niamah!!!-ing already. Not quite ngam with my style lerr. But N... oops... i can't sleep lah, own self find fault for having 'wet-dreams' earlier yesterday... apa la wei. My nose running sure wet laa... bocor maa (nothing in common with the MP Batu Gajah story k).

Since im still wide awake, and nobody to tok to. Tok wif self aso can lah... self-evaluation lorr.

What is my top-ten vulgar word usage:

10) Jackass!
only when my dad makes a fool outta himself...

9) Asshole
currently in use to represent a doorstep salesman. I'll go like, "What was that asshole promoting?". Last used in Ipoh, TMnet agent promoting rm77 broadband.

8) Baarger
bugger. used when i'm pissed off at commoners. i.e. Dad: Why u take so long to buy? Me: That bugger lah! Chop chicken aso like ah-ma (with reference to my grandma's chopping speed...)

7) Shithead/Dickhead
Only my family understands when i use this word. It means someone who's brain rationalism is a factor of possibly -50 lower than the lowest recorded human IQ (not mensa scale - BolehLand scale). Typically used to describe our drivers and politician... (same lah... both aso driving maa... 1 drive car, anudder drive 'developement')

6) KNNBCCB
acronym for kaninabehcaucibai. With local online games canggih swear-filter, any CIM+E (cina india melayu + english) vulgarities sure wun lepas one. KNNBCCB is a widely accepted standard vulgarity in BolehLand and KiasuLand.

5) Lan Jiao!!
when any off my friends makes self-opposing statments.
i.e. Me: "i'm only interested in guys".
haha... most probably in ur heart u'll go "lan jiao!" as well

4) Sohai!!!
when any of my not-religious friends do something stupid lah off course.

3) Puki!!!
only does this when i got owned in DoTA or any other games lah. Pissed off at ownself lah... ok... my stupidity

2) Cipet...
as opposed to Cibai. this is a gentler version. also can be used as a replacement for Cepat! Miraculously i onli utter this in front of Seng, my classmate n my cipet-sifu (taught me this word lah)

1) Nabeh!!!
most uttered during my DoTA days... kinda stuck with me now. At least its easier, less harsh and sound mor cool then Niamah!!!

NIAMAH!!!

2007-10-06T17:36:00.000+08:00

I'm so lazy today. Been down with this runny nose all day long.All thanks to UNITEN for making me wake up to do my final semester's subject registration at 8.30am. Niamah!!! caught cold because i forced myself to get up when i was still all tired from my past week's endevours.

Or at least beacause i spend off yesterday night till 3am reading posts on Patrick Teoh's blog. Two of them: Tokkok and NIAMAH!!!. Niamah!!! This Ulu Kelang bugger got so much time ranting on his blog leh, instead of busying himself at KLPAC. And practically influenced me alot on getting to know of current issues. This fella interested only in Star's N columns le. ok aso la... save me rm1.20 daily.

Niamah!!! There goes my day, actually i juz got up from dreamland again (minus the nightmares, wetdreams, etc) U practically can't do anything when ur down with runny nose. Say goodbye! adios! sayonara! to my Enginerring Econs test on monday. Never liked it anyway. I'm physically, mentally and spiritually prepared for a C.

Now i'm craving for KFC. Yes! and I will go and satisfied my lust! despite that my runny nose is still with me and worsening.

Niamahhh!!!

p/s: after reading our happy Malaysian bugger blog. Niamah!!! had become quite contagious edi lah. At least for today onli la... who dare to spoil my remainder of the day will definitely get a praise of Niamah!!! from me. I shall repent and drop the habit by midnight lah.... haha

Midnight Lan Si

2007-10-05T02:31:00.000+08:00

Guess what i am holding, and i do look happy :)

Still no idea? Look at its backside then.

I shall spend some time... umm... exploring!

Goodnite guys! hehehe

A little bit off lah

2007-10-02T18:51:00.000+08:00

Today was rather boring. Woke up early in morning the juz to attend to my fiber optics communications test 2. Which seemingly all to easy, spent less than half of the 1.5 hours allocated. (Cakap besar... wait for the paper to come back and see all the silly mistakes then... maybe).

Slept throughout the whole noon, 1200 till 1730. Geng leh?

Today was rather boring. Woke up early in the evening juz beacuase i can't sleep anymore. Which seemingly all to simple, rise and straight away to my pc. Went around browsing my friends blogs and Friendster accounts.

Stumbled upon this interesting website: MyHeritage.com

Fooled around a little bit, and this are the results...

Round 1 - i used my recent pic. What appears is all blacks (not discriminating ^.^). But which part of me looks the same. Oh well, maybe i looked a lil bit like Will Smith laa. perasan

Round 2 - this time i decided to go with one of my weirdest face-shot. Now i juz wondered why Jamie Foxx was included.. Oh ya, Bunko Kanazawa is a Japanese AV Star (apa... dun tell me u dunno. Porn star laa) and a pretty popular one too.

Round 3 - enough of myself. This time is a dated pic of my classmate acting all "cute" at my house. Jay Chou 72%??!!! ok... malas comment edi.

Last but not least. A pic of a girl (before u guys starts to fire me). Rather dated... but it turns out well. I can see a resemblance with Leslie.. huhuhu.

Chao...

Standing Tall

2007-10-01T00:54:00.000+08:00

I was strolling in Giant's South City Plaza for my usual weekend grocery shopping. Then i noticed this so called 'limited edition' dates drink produced by coca-cola company. Out of curiosity of the taste, i decided to buy this tiny lil 240ml can which costs Rm1.49 (expensive!).

Talking about standing tall... Malaysian ought to be called tall if we can even reach 150cm height. My height is way beyond that. And in the context of this drink. YES! IT FALLS WAYYY SHORT OF MY EXPECTATIONS.

First, it doesnt have the original kurma taste. Juz like the canned cincau, which is far from the original. Secondly, its way too sweet! even when chilled... (for those who don't know. Fruit juices is sweeter at room temperature, and even more sweeter at body temperature. Scientific details? Juz like my lecturers like to say: "Go Google it urself.") What the hell with 'No preservatives' but pumped in a whole lot of cane sugar.

Lastly, Seasons Red Dates with Longan drink tastes 10x (not exaggerating) better and costs only 89 cents.

The Past Week

2007-09-30T21:46:00.000+08:00

Been very busy for the pass week. With mooncake festival and wedding comin one after another. In the midst of my tiredness, i could rejoice by seeing many joyful new faces joining from Uniten and UPM especially for the two nights of mooncake celebration, where i was in charge of the games.

Some of the new faces

The wedding of my friend of four years, Ying Hou to Keat Mei on saturday was extravagantly great as well, set in an english garden style. Pictures aren't ready, i was busy with the commitee in charge of ushering. No time to pop up my handy phone-cam. I'll be back again when i get the pics from the various photographers ^.^

But hey, suprise suprise...

About God

2007-09-26T01:04:00.000+08:00

You are perhaps thinking who is this person called God and what is He all about? Well let me try to explain Him to you by sharing with you who Jesus is. Well the bible says that He is the Son of God. God sent his only son to this world because the world has basically become quite messed up. Though He was a spiritual being like God, He came and walked on earth as a physical man … all for a simple reason to love us!

Let me explain...

When God created us, He meant for us to know Him. Not just know Him but to have a real personal relationship with Him just like a child with a good loving father.

But we are sinful and basically don’t always choose to do the right things. You see when we do wrong things (may it cheating or lying or even having anger in the heart) it is ‘sin’ in the eyes of God. This decision to sin causes us to be separated from God

Nevertheless, man may still tries to reach God by living a good life, doing good works and following a certain good religion. All these so called “human efforts” just does not work, nothing will, at least not without God.

So what did God do? As I shared earlier, He sent His only son Jesus Christ to this world. Though He did not do anything wrong, He was wrongly persecuted and was punished on the cross. When He died, He paid the price of all our sins and created a path for us back to God.

Now this is so wonderful because it’s God’s gift to us. We can now decide to cross over by admitting that we have sinned and needed His forgiveness and leadership in our life.

So where are you on this path?

Do you wish to receive what Jesus has done for you and began a personal relationship God? If this reflects your heart’s desire, just say the simple prayer at the bottom of this page.

And if you wish to find out more, join us in any of our care groups, worship services, speak to us or just drop me an email.

Thanks for your time.

Say this prayer from your heart to go our own way and want Jesus to be the leader of our life.

“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and I need your forgiveness. I believe that you died for my sins, I want to turn from my sins, I now invite you to come into my heart and be the leader of my life. Thank you for coming into my life. In Jesus name Amen“.

Over"Friendly" Friendster

2007-09-24T00:19:00.001+08:00

As usual, i was browsing about my Friendster's account. And i came to notice some new views....

Someone was checking me out... who?

Alrightt.. its a girl... how did she end up "checking' me out. Noticing that she's in my extended network, which means no link at all. Since it was a girl, i might as well take some time "checking" out in return... to see whether she's a 'beauty' or the 'beast' (omg.. God... i confess of this sin and sincerely repent)

Till i saw this... i had 2 sent a few post to clear a lil misunderstanding (already!)

What i did? Look at the next picture and u'll know why!

This was where my first original comment lies, within the Friendster's homepage of my classmate. Zoom in and the comment says "Ok... ur fat".

It appears that any comment i make on any one of the two pics above will simultaneously appear on both! Superb glitch you have done for me my dear Friendster!

I relate this incident to my housemate and his girlfriend, and they jokingly acknowledged,"Maybe God wants to help you to know more pretty girls!"

What the!!! -_-"

A Fruitful Day

2007-09-23T01:51:00.000+08:00

Saturday…
Started my day, when I blur² woke up and read my 1st sms:

Around 12pm go for lunch? Meet at Noah’s Ark 1st – Ivan

Quickly i sent a simple 'Ok' affirmation... not b4 long... Then I notice its 11.50pm -_-! alamak… fast² strip, fast² bath, fast² dress, fast² style.

But not before I read the 2nd sms. A dear friend from Ipoh kinda encouraged me with this:

When i send u sms, it doesnt mean u have to do d same.. u can also send:- shark’s fin, abalone, birdnest, lobster, diamond, cash or other gifts.. so start 2day!!

Really swt* laa -_-“
But guess what’s my reply ^_^

Seek n u will find. Ask n it will be given. I do not own the floodgates of heaven, but I can help u ask our father above if ur paiseh… hehe.

I rushed straight to the restaurant. It’s not Noah’s Ark… that’s what we (entire Hope Serdang loh) calls my friends’ house. The restaurant is juz a simple chap fan shop lerr… and heyyy, I found out that I wasn’t entirely late without a purpose. God has planned something for me. Unexpectedly I met Ps. Kit Siang n his lovely wife Sis Shara, Bro Daniel, and two mid-aged man I dunno. Maybe pastor brought along visitors? I went and gather more chairs as I was expecting Ivan and Fei Yee as well, and when I was back… the mid-aged guys shy² left… o.0? Rupanya tumpang meja je… gua pun paiseh lah… to made them move. Anyhow the food was great and cheap (becoz Ivan is friendly with the seller... wah. Regular customer lah) and the short time of fellowship is nice and encouraging… considering only a few times get to eat at the same table with pastor.

Next I followed Ivan around, since I had nothing else to do during the whole noon. 1st we dropped Fei Yee off at church. And since it’s so close to The Mines, we walked over… Ivan had to go to the ATM, I went over to the newsstand to get my monthly dose of comics. Then on the basis of "wanting to finish the leftover arcade tokens”, we head to the arcade to play House of The Dead 4. My first time. Uncountable times for Ivan. We got KO’ed at 3rd stage… Game Over…

Later then dropped over to my place to get a bath and prepare for Hope KLCC Membership Dinner at somewhere near SOGO… somewhere near Chow Kit also loh… The journey hence started… but Ivan was then reminded of worship practice at church. What the… he actually forgot… >.< Tak jadi pergi… I went ahead first with Sis Helen.

Ivan did join later, after got lost for 1 hour. The ceremony had almost ended. In conclusion, he missed the dinner part. Hungry, he was, partially full I was. Dinner for him, seconds for me. We left KL and drove with a ½ sesat kinda look on each other’s face, until we reached Tesco Cheras.

Ivan with his dinner and my seconds.
Fish and Chips for him, Bruchetta Chicken Pasta
& Asparagus Soup for me.

Our drinks. Chocolate and Banana Milk-Shakes.
As u can see its super thick. It’s like a combo of milk-shake and sundae. Its super nice and costs RM4.90 each (b4 tax).

Forgot to mention the name of the place.

Ivan was apparently having a hard time with his Chocolate Mousse. Sudah penuh…

Both of us had a truly fruitful time together. We had long conversations about our parents, about our past… how we were so mischievous and such. Thank God that he gave me the opportunity to relate deeper, and THANK YOU Ivan for being supportive and also blessing me with the dinner (Bro n sis yang lain, jangan jelous tau…hehe) With this, I’m one step better to know this brother over here… which has now

Dozed off while preparing his WordForLife presentation for later this morning! Thank You For Giving To The Lord.

Good nite and God bless everyone.

First Impression: Sony PSP-200x

2007-09-16T23:49:00.000+08:00

Holidays are coming, especially Christmas.. hmm hmm. Lotsa things on my wishlist... lol. And since Ellone been blogging about gaming consoles, i might as well join the fun. But i'm particular on PSP, since i dun personally own one yet.

Sony's latest handheld gaming device, the PSP (model 2000) offers various improvements over its predecessor. It boasts more RAM to make game load times a little faster and is now able to output video straight to the TV. The PSP's smaller size is also more pocket-friendly. The device provides the same great game play and media abilities that made the original PSP a success.

Thinner and Lighter: Measuring 6.6 by 2.8 by 0.6 inches (HWD), the PSP's shape has been streamlined in a way that is noticeable when you place the PSP 2000 next to the original, which measures 6.7 by 2.9 by 0.9 inches. The major difference between the two, however, is that the PSP 2000 weighs about a third less. When using the PSP 2000 for an extended time, the lower weight makes it really easy on the hands; those seasoned by hours of game play on the original model will feel the difference instantly.

Slightly Improved Design and Controls: The wavelike bulges on the old PSP, which covered the battery and Memory Stick slot on both sides and curved beneath the middle and index fingers, are gone. The PSP 2000's screen is the same as the original's and, unfortunately, just as smudge-prone (fingerprints all over lah).

The four-way direction pad, as well as the familiar "diamond" buttons (triangle, circle, square, and x), have been slightly elevated, offering greater feedback. (true aso lah.. but i never felt PSP-2000 yet, hence i dunno how much greater)

Another physical refinement is that the new PSP's UMD (Universal Media Disc) slot has a less mechanical structure than the original and is easier to operate. Instead of the dedicated button found on the old PSP, all that's required to open the UMD drive is a simple tug on the cover hatch. Placing a UMD in its grove within the opened hinge, then closing the hatch, is the easiest way to load discs.

The Memory Stick Duo slot has been moved to the left of the D-Pad, and the Wi-Fi switch has been placed on top of the unit, next to the mini USB port. The speakers, now elevated above the D-Pad and the "diamond" buttons, are actually better positioned for stereo listening. But the low volume levels that plagued the original PSP remain an issue.

Video output: The new PSP features an AV output jack (which doubles as a standard headphone connector). With the purchase of a special breakout cable, we can display the PSP's audio and video on virtually any TV. But there are a few notable caveats--most notably, the maximum video resolution varies according to the content displayed. Video content from UMD discs (prerecorded movies) and Memory Stick (home-ripped videos) can be displayed at DVD-level 720x480 resolutions, though quality will vary depending upon how the compression of the video in question. But games are locked into the PSP's native 480x272 display. So, if the TV doesn't have a robust zoom function, we're stuck with a window-boxed experience for games. Another potentially bigger problem with games is that they don't seem to even work on TVs that can't handle progressive-scan (480p) output. So while nearly any HDTV should be fine (with the component cable), older televisions will be limited to displaying non-gaming video output.

Faster Loading: The new PSP utilizes a system setting called "UMD Cache" that enables faster loading of game discs. PSP's extra RAM, It's got 64MB versus the 32MB on the original

USB Charging: The PSP 2000 runs firmware version 3.60, which is installed by default and comes with a new feature called USB Charge, which fully charges the PSP via a computer's USB port in roughly 5 hours. At first, USB Charge sounds like a welcome addition, but using it proves more of a hassle than a convenience. Unlike nearly all other devices that are able to charge over USB, the PSP must remain on in order to charge. Additionally, we must enable the USB Charge utility for charging to begin; simply connecting the PSP to the computer will not cut it. Another downside is that the 5 hours the PSP takes to charge over USB is nearly twice as long as charging via AC (kebodohan Sony. Maybe the later version of PSP-200x will fix this issue... hopefully lah)

Dedication of Praise

2007-09-11T01:50:00.000+08:00

Thank You (For Giving To The Lord)
by Ray Boltz

I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me;
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea.
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name.
We turned and saw a young man
And he was smiling as he came.

And he said, "Friend you may not know me now."
And then he said, "But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday School
When I was only eight.
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."

Chorus
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
Cause I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you
And said, "Remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money,
But you gave it anyway.
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that's why I am here today."

Chorus*

One by one they came
Far as the eye could see.
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity.
Little things that you had done,
Sacrifices you made,
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven, now proclaimed.

Bridge
And I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry.
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes.
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord.
He said, "My child, look around you.
Great is your reward."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
Cause I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Life Changing Experience: Chapter II

2007-09-11T00:48:00.000+08:00

Told ya i'll be back. This time with pics ^.^

Hope KL Student Camp - LifeGame 2007 @ INTI Nilai

Uniten LifeGameRz - The pic was taken on 31/8. So i was in our national colors.

LifeGameRz on the move - I'm in the pic again (On purpose)

My "wife" ~ dear Sis Helen... haha. Real life kenot lo... coz she's short. (Helen ~If ur readin this n point out to me. I'll belanja ice cream)

My friend did not made it.

Lotsa criminal activities in this town.

A picture tell a thousand words. Well... maybe 1000 seconds of thinking and interpreting.

Those are some of my personal "life" experiences. I wouldn't tell much more in order to preserve the excitement of the game. You ought to explore in for yourselves. Again I sincerly advice especially to Christians and non-Christians out there ~ do not ever miss it if you have the opportunity to join.

Life Changing Experience: Chapter I

2007-09-08T00:47:00.000+08:00

Kinda delayed posting. My past one week was totally hectic; I had to reorganize after my mid-term break and catch up with my class tests and assignments… and my laundries. But putting all that aside…

For the first time in my four years of university, I have to admit that the recent one week holiday was tremendously meaningful. I attended a Purpose Driven LifeGame camp held at INTI Nilai from 30/8 till 2/9, organized by HOPE KL student group and coordinated by LifeImpactMinistries team.

There was altogether over 350 participants, mostly students with Christian background from all over KL region as well as other places. We have people from Uniten ~hey! That’s me~, MMU, LimKokWing, UPM, UKM, UM, UTAR Sg. Long, NewEra, INTI Nilai, UTP Tronoh, USM Penang, youth groups (secondary schoolers), few working adults (professionals), and couple of Singaporeans.

It was a great camp, the game itself is great, it's a real life monopoly. We got to "work", eat, and spend "money" in the game. Live out our "life", encounter "marriages", "sickness", "accidents" and even "deaths". We’re given a chance to live life once at a fast pace, witness how we and others deal with the dilemmas in life. If any of you out there ever have the opportunity to join the camp, give it a try and you will have a bigger picture of what life is all about.

Look forward to Chapter II for the story of my "life", hopefully with pictures (if I have the time to get it from my unofficial camera-girl).

Of Mercy and Grace

2007-09-02T23:42:00.000+08:00

Often we heard people chanting the word mercy and grace. Sound almost similar right? How do we actually differentiate that we’ve been granted mercy or graced upon? Check up the dictionary. You may find various meanings that relates to the human life, but in the end, I bet most of you would be further confused.

Let me start with a story,

Long time ago, in the ancient days before America was even found. The natives live there, we call them the Red Indians. And there’s this one village. What makes it so special is that it has a chief with a strong sense of justice where people are living a secured and crime free life.

But one day, there was complain that the villager’s chickens were stolen. Hence, the chief gathered the entire village and he said, “Now, if you had stole the chickens, confess and you’re punishment shall be light. You shall endure 10 strokes of the whip.” No one came forth.

“Do repent and confess now! And now, you shall endure 20 strokes!” Yet no one came forth either. The villagers were then getting impatient; making loud noises, demanding that justice to be done quickly. “CONFESS!!! AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE 100 STROKES!!!” the chief shouted furiously. 100 strokes can leave anyone dead, even if were to survive, it’s a great suffering. No one confessed. And the day ended.

After some time, the thief was caught and brought to face the chief. It was his mother. Many now whispering to one another, “It’s his mother; he wouldn’t possibly punish her of 100 strokes”. Some others shouting that justice must be done accordingly.

The chief, not for even once, was in the state of confusion. He calmly ordered his mother to be tied to a stake, and have his strongest warriors to carry out the punishment with all their strength, as if the person tied there was the enemy.

As the strokes were to land on the mother.
The chief……… covered over his mother with his bare back…

Mercy means simply NOT GETTING WHAT WE DESERVE. As we read from the story, the mother had been saved by her merciful son. The chief’s act of kindness had saved her. Grace is just the exact opposite. Is getting what we don’t actually deserve.

Take an example of our student lives, we often pray for mercy and a soften heart of the lecturer, while waiting for our test results, for we know how badly we did in the test and that we want better than what we deserve. On the other way around, we proclaim “Thank you for the grace given to me” when we get a better than expected test results.

Likewise, in our Christian life, Jesus had mercy upon us all, for we are all sinners and He died on the cross to cleanse us of our sins. For our sins we are deserved to be punished, but Jesus took it all and shoulder it on the cross. And through him, we are graced upon for our God has promised that whoever believe in him and carry out His good works, the reward shall be waiting for us in heaven.

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." Romans 3:23-24 (NIV)

P/S. the story earlier had been told to me by a dear pastor who has impacted my life in many ways. Thank you Ps. John Kwan of LifeImpact Ministries for sharing such a wonderful story. Do feel free to repost this entry in any of your blogs, e-mails or bulletins if it has really touched and moved your heart. God bless.

Life Changing Experience: Prologue

2007-09-02T19:36:00.000+08:00

Wow. I've just got back from LifeGame '07 @ INTI Nilai. It was truly a life changing experience, for me, and i believe, for most of the 300+ participants as well. During the camp, it often came to my mind, "I wish you were here with me"; to all the people that i invited but did not respond to the calling for participating in this one in a lifetime LifeGame, because its a game that is made so special that you need only to play once and have a deep impact for the rest of our lives.

Haha... im too tired today. Well, after for days of active participation and never ending fun time fellowshiping with one another. Stay tuned, coz the coming entries will highlight more of my experience in LifeGame '07 Nilai, and how it has changed my life!

Addicted to You

2007-08-21T02:33:00.000+08:00

Oh.... I'm highhhh...

Utada Hikaru is back with her latest single, Beautiful World. Set to release on the 29th this month and is also the theme for the latest Evangelion Movie.

However, i already got my hands on this single via the internet (can't live without it). I like this song so much that I replay it as much as i can in a day's worth. Since downloading isn't illegal in Malaysia, you can handily go to Graffit to get the single.

A new beginning

2007-08-21T02:25:00.000+08:00

Wow! A lot has happened since I last stopped blogging. Somewhere around April 2005. There were many sweet experiences as well as the bitter ones. As the saying goes, "You can't feel good when you never felt the bad", ok... i juz made that up myself.

Here, in the year 2007, month of August, and just a few days away from MERDEKA!!! 50 years!!! I've decided that i would once again... for the 2nd time... restart blogging. Pray that this time it would last longer, better, and more exciting.

Malaysia Boleh!!!
