splendid stuff.

if you dont understand, look it up.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
John Donne.

blink and it has gone...

2008 is going. fast. man, it was as if it never even happened. time REALLY flies. 2009 is at the door. hope it'll be a great year.

looking back, 2008 has been a great year. ups and downs are normal, but i guess it has more ups than downs for me. sometimes i just wish i could forever be in this state. but i guess we have to move on, and grow up.

365 days may seem very long at first. but soon you realise its very very short. a year has passed since i took my spm. wau. thats fast. i still remember in detail things from my secondary school life. i miss it, yet i dont want to go through it again.

holidays are rapidly running out. college is going to start. another few months and i'll be facing MAJOR exams. oh man, 2009 is exam year for me. 2 major exams. new year resolution time? i'll think about it.

2009, PLEASE be good. i don't want to look back and want to erase you from my memory completely. 2008, you will always be inscribed there.

lets get to preparing for the new year, and school, college, whatever it is that we will.

christmas is coming again.

Christmas is almost here... just a few days away... time to truly reflect on what 2008 was like for us...

christmas is a special occasion... it is time where we celebrate, give thanks and fellowship. of all festivities, i love christmas the most. it is really a family occasion..

i dont like the commercialisation of christmas. santa claus, reindeers and the like. i just cant stand them..

on a different matter, i suddenly received few calls asking whether i am in ipoh. NO I AM NOT. i have no idea how rumours saying that i was in ipoh surfaced. and that i was supposed to go to lunch with some teachers. i would go if i were there. i didnt even know about the lunch. my goodness. so please. I AM SAFELY IN KL AND I AM NOT PLANNING TO SURPRISE ANY OF YOU!

a whole new world...

no. i'm not going to talk about aladdin.

the world now has gone mad. economy is going down, oil prices are going down(shouldn't it go up?), cities are being terrorised(mumbai), ships are being pirated, city services are being crippled(thailand).

it is true therefore that we now live in a world that has gone from bad to worse to even worse(mind my language). back in the 70's or 80's these things would be thought of as IMPOSSIBLE. at the turn of the new millenium however, madness has crept in.

hmm. food for thought, what would happen in 10 yrs time? would it be an even crazier world? i hope not. why does generation in power like to leave their successors with RUBBISH conditions to rebuild the world? scorched earth tactics?

i'm done. out.

questions...

should i? should i not? to go or not to go, thats the question? mixed emotions reign... do i need conflict? have i time for idle business? can i make a difference? is my presence wanted? would it be fruitful?

questions that nobody would know the answer to. still, these are questions that constantly bombard my mind. things change. alot. in a short span of time. no question about it. sadly there are times where it changes for the worse.

no idea what i'm gonna do. i'm not gonna take initiative. i'm allowing whatever happens to happen. i'll just watch. i'm not bothered. yet i want to.

why dont ppl want to think further? why are they so comfortable with their mindset? why dont they like to be challenged in their thinking? frustration builds up. dissapointment too.

i shall find my peace within. i have a dream....

nothing left to say. bye.

its that time of the year again....

the time of the year which many enjoy the most is here again.... holiday period.... its the time to enjoy, relax, and go do stuff that you actually like... my holiday plans for this year are pretty much simple....

1. shoppin(with frens)
2. sleep(lots of it)
3. CG Dinner.
4. Y.C.

thats the main highlights of my holiday... i still have NO idea what to do yet.... i guess i'll probably do what i always do during holidays - LAZE around....

btw... here is a picture of my full collection.... it will grow...

from left: Bailey's Irish Cream, Jack Daniel's Whiskey, Chivas Regal Whiskey, 42 Below Vodka, and 5 mini bottles of wine(cabernet-sauvignon, chillean sauvignon, australian semillon-chardonnay, merlot, and chillean carbenet-merlot)

breakthrough

the world has been shaken up by the nov 4th elections. many world leaders congratulated Obama on his victory to become the first "black" President of USA. hmm.... i've been thinking bout this concept of a "minority" group leading a nation. being part of a "minority" group myself, i strongly support the notion that this country can also be led by someone of a "minority" group.

this brings me to something everyone in this country wants to avoid talking about. the subject of racial divide. i am a person who knows no race. to me, everyone belongs to the same race - the human race. why then does racial issues always cause a big stir everywhere?

the fault lies within ALL parties, the ppl who discriminate, and the overly sensitive people. i just dont get some ppl. WHY DO YOU THINK UR SO MUCH BETTER THAN OTHERS JUST BECAUSE UR FROM A "SUPERIOR RACE". why do ppl still consider a race to be superior compared to others? history perhaps? natural ability? or most probably an overly BIG racial pride. there is nothing wrong in being proud of who you are, or your history, or even ur ethnic cultures. the problem comes when ppl think they are better than others.

and what about those who are overly sensitive? i just dont get this type of ppl, and i'm REALLY irritated by them. just because you were taken advantage of in the past DOES NOT mean you can turn almost any innocent statement or action into a racist act. some ppl just dont get what it means by not being a racist. to me, it means not thinking you are far greater than another, and not thinking that EVERYONE is picking on you. come on, some ppl have much better things to do than to pick on others of different race.

i have great many frens of different ethnic backgrounds, all of us dont care what race we are, or what skin colour we have, or even what customs we have. we just define ourselves by our character and personality. when we hang out, we can even poke fun at each others ethnic background and still not consider it a racist statement. this is because we know deep inside that we are all equal. i hope the world can one day be as such.

for this to happen, mindsets have to be RESET. the best way to start is to start young. children should be sent to multi-racial schools. education should be standardised so that none will have a higher than normal concentration of students of a particular race. i learnt that the best way to demolish the racial barrier is to MIX every type of race together. FORCE them to learn young, FORCE them to mix with people other than their own. this will ensure a better and more open generation.

special privelages given to certain races should be stripped too. privellages and aid should be given on a merit basis, NOT on what ethnic group you belong to. having a quota system seriously damages racial ties. we need to have a completely fair system to ensure no special treatment is given to anyone of any race.

simple as they may seem, these actions will most probably never be taken. few people have the courage to stand up for such issues nowadays. even when brought up, these issues are IMMEDIATELY deemed "sensitive" and are shelved. the thing i dont get is, WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE DO DEEM IMPORTANT SUBJECTS, SENSITIVE? it is another way of saying i'm just going to ignore your views. this really reflects on the maturity of a certain society.

i sincerely hope that through the election of Obama, the world will open its eyes to the fundamental flaws it has in its society.

no particular title...

okay... i'm bored.... so i'm gonna blog about music players.... HAHA.... of all things to blog about...

generally i have THREE music players in my pc right now....
1. Windows Media Player
2. Winamp
3. iTunes

alright.... i admit... i couldnt find a PERFECT player to find my music and have been tinkering with these 3 famous programs.... here goes the review...

1. Media Player.
not bad in a way... but i use it mainly for movies or videos.... i think it doesn't really cater to me.... the functions are pretty much basic... and that rather sums up what kinda player it is... a BASIC player.... it ranks last in my list for sure....

2. Winamp.
Not bad... i've been using winamp for AGES.... but the problem with winamp is, it is rather troublesome.... it is not compatible with many things such as a remote for a laptop and such.... great shortcut keys though.... has some redeeming factors such as great plugins and stuff.... generally, its a good player...

3. iTunes
the current player i'm using.... perfect for me.... has EVERYTHING i want in a music player.... remote compatible, easy searching, and now the GENIUS function... its juz a great player... apple really know what they are doing... haha.... i think i'll use this for now... till i get irritated...

ciao.

democracy anyone?

so yea... lets start my rant by wishing Malaysia well.... 51 yrs of independance.... hopefully many more to follow...

we live in a world where democracy prevails.... democracy, the right of everyone and anyone to have a say in the way things are... a good concept as it is, better than tyranny of a dictatorship.... nevertheless, good things such as these have a MAJOR flaw....

in a democracy, what is required for a decision is basically a majority.... it requires the agreement of MOST of the ppl so that actions can be taken.... why is this so? in a logical sense, if MOST ppl want it, then it should be done.... right? WRONG!!!

what is popular is seldom right, and what is right is seldom popular... so how can a majority alone decide what is right or wrong, what is important or not.... a decision made on the sole basis of a majority shows that it is a POPULAR decision, but it in NO WAY justifies it as a right one...

democracy in principal is ideal, but in practice, it is merely a way of saying "lets do what is popular, instead of what is right." i am a supporter of the concept of democracy, but what is needed is a mechanism to enforce what is right ALTHOUGH it does nor garner a majority...
i talk about a power so superior that it dwarfs any majority on earth... i'm talking bout God...

I dont wanna be a democratic christian.... i dont wanna bend to the tyranny of a majority.... I want to bend to the will of a KING... the KING of ALL KINGS.... in other words, i support a monarchy-style christian life....

this type of life is different from any other monarchies or dictatorships in the world.... this is because my King is incorruptible, He is NEVER wrong, and He always makes the best desicions...
i place my loyalty and complete control of my life to someone not of natural being, but of supernatural being....

that is how it was supposed to be.... democratic christianity is what we MAN made up.... there is no such thing.... its either you accept a King that will control your life, or you dont.... simple as that.... sadly to say, a number of ppl dont find this concept intriguing...

i sincerely hope for change.... i hope that ppl will open their eyes and see the flaws that this 'democracy' have to offer.... i hope that they will follow what is RIGHT rather than what is POPULAR....

i would have written a longer post, but i'm super tired.... and a chat with an old friend inspired me to type this up.... so yea... food for thought...

malaysia's journey in the olympics comes to an end...

alright, so malaysia got a medal.... silver.... not bad considering the badminton finals was seriously sad game.... nerves, home advantage? hmm.... the reasons why lee chong wei lost astounds me... but silver is better than nothing... whatever it is, u did malaysia proud.... next time perhaps?

okay.... michael phelps.... madhouse.... 8 GOLDS.... and ALL record breaking swims(7 world, 1 olympic).... my goodness... he is just the king of the pool.... its kinda surreal to have a guy juz swim his way to 8 gold medals(with some help)..... anyway, i think part of his arsenal is psychology.... you say you wanna assault 8 golds, ppl get scared, you have already won.... good job dude....

another phenomenon in the olympics, Mr. BOLT.... i think he got the right name.... 9.69 secs.... thats juz sick..... and he had time to turn around too.... plus, the 100 meters race IS NOT his preferred race.... haha.... imagine that... he doesnt like it THAT much, but breaks world records like its nothing.... oh man....

olympics is gonna end soon.... dont make a difference to me anyway.... but, London 2012 awaits... so i'd prefer london.... haha(currently facinated by england, the physical country).... thats all...

Friday, August 15, 2008

hols at last....

1 week of hols, then TEST 2 cometh.... haha.... so i guess my week of hols is gonna be packed with lots of revision and studyin.... thats all for now.... gonna sooooooooo enjoy this weekend.....

Saturday, August 9, 2008

alright alright....

i've been pretty busy lately... what with college work, books to read, and stuff to do... so here is an update of my life so far....

been reading books like mad, since i stay in the hostel during the weekends and have NOTHING to do, books have become my best frens.... well, i just love to read... haha.... currently waiting for the realease of brisingr on sept 20... if you dont know what book that is, forget it.... haha.....

lessons have been getting tougher and tougher.... but with enough hard work, i think i can go through pretty well.... college life suits me well.... i never liked being forced to do things i dont wanna do, and college doesnt force you to do anything, although if u DONT do some stuff(attend lectures for example) your pretty much gonna suffer....

my frens are cool ppl.... they are from ALL sorts of backgrounds and different walks of life.... generally, they are people who are happening, yet they REALLY care for their education.... wau.... i REALLY got alot to compete with.... haha....

oh yea, i'm suddenly in a shopping craze.... in 2 weeks, i have bought one pair of shorts, a belt, a jersey, and i'm planning to buy a pair of jeans.... no idea what came over me.... just feel like buying LOADS of stuff.... haha.... currently anticipating my hols too... which is next next week....

TEST 2 will be after the hols, and i really wanna do well.... or rather HAVE to do well.... but well, that ain't gonna hamper my spirit during the hols.... might go go-karting amongst other things.... but mostly looking forward to the trip to camerons on the 22nd(i think its 22nd).... gonna really have a blast there....

too bad i cant go back for the drama this time.... i'd love to watch jia ee, ben and others act their way on stage.... will certainly bring back memories of my acting stint.... would be missing pui yee's musical talent too.... oh well, i dont look forward to going back to ipoh anymore, although i seriously do miss all the ppl there.... peeps in ipoh, when ur in kl, gimme a call.... haha...

i'll have to go to church soon.... and i really look forward to it.... one thing that i like bout DUMC is that they really have great speakers.... i now look forward to the sermon more than i do the other parts of the service.... hmm.... i'd really like to go back to MYF and see what its like there though.... but well, life moves on....

right, i'm running outta ideas on what to say... so, ciao.... till i get the inspiration to update again...

past week....

alright, so i was away for quite some time.... lets see what i did last week.... hmm.... oh yea thats right, i had my test, went back to ipoh, drove back to kl, and then, I FELL SICK.... oh well, i had it coming... plenty of action, so little rest..... the body just needs to shut down and repair itself....

i was bedridden(exaggerating a little) for most of last week.... at first i was feeling a fever coming on, nobody believed me.... then i went to the doctors, and it was confirmed that i had a high fever.... wau.... haha.... 2 days mc for me.... i thought, thats not too bad, only 2 days of school missed.... and then on tuesday, it got worse.... could not even swallow.... my throat hurt like mad..... haha.... so its back to the doctors.... turns out, the antibiotics did not work, making throat worse..... really bad infection the doctor put it.... haha..... so a jab, and some really stronger meds later, i was sent home - to recover.... oh well, another 2 days mc..... so yea.... the antibiotics DID work this time.... and i'm finally feeling good.... hmm.... not really looking forward to school cause i'm soooooo behind... really need to catch up.... haha.....

but well, time waits for no man.... and yea my short term plans, buy some shorts and watch BATMAN.....

juz for trivia, my fav villains from batman are joker(king of all villians), and the riddler(smartest criminal ever)....

haha.... out....

Friday, July 4, 2008

random ramblings....

test week is next week.... 7th to 11th... erm i guess it would be very important to see how much i actually understand a levels.... haha....

i miss debating.... or rather, i miss arguing bout subjects..... haha.....

gathering last week was okay..... not too bad, not too great.... met up with some of the old friends, but not all came.... still miss some ppl.... ah wellll..... guess we will have a chance to meet up sooner or later....

hmm.... life so far, normal and fun..... just gotta hope this continues.... haha..... i'm off.... nothing better to say....

Saturday, June 21, 2008

an update on college life...

college life has been good so far... got some friends with exactly the same interest as i have.... and that is COOOL... haha.... change is good.... i used to resent change, did not want to leave my comfort zone, did not want to go into the unknown.... but now, its a blessed release.... the life that i led seemed so far away.... this new life is what i have to accept now.... but that's good..... learning how to adapt, making new friends, being opened up to new methods of thinking, learning so much from people and situations.... friends will always be there... but what i miss is the closeness of fellowship among a cellgroup.... honestly, i miss the old CY3.... oh well, we all grow up, and will have to move on....

this coming saturday, there will be a gathering of ipoh peeps in kl.... haha..... imagine what a time that would be.... crazy ipoh ppl in the big city? i shudder to think what we might do together.... i just regret the inability of xian and qivin and others to be with us.... truly, xian..... sometimes we dont see eye to eye.... but definately you are the best fren i could wish for.... haha.... better get back to malaysia quick so we can go hang out.... or i could go to melbourne?? haha....

college is different, u rely on your own self discipline, rely on urself all the time.... you are who you make yourself to be.... secondary school seems so childish compared to this.... college students are not treated as "little children" but as a future generation of society.... future professionals and future leaders.... so all those who think that secondary school doesnt teach you anything, and that it does not challenge your thinking, you will love college....

hmm... future plans? stay alive.... haha.... for the time being.... i look forward to going to the smi school play though.... i think i might be able to go.... depends on the suitability of my already hectic schedule(anyone gonna believe this?)....

i dont have much to say, so i'd leave it as that... make of it whatever you want.... haha....

a thirst i seek for....

as those who know me already know, i went for National Service couple of months back.... in NS, i stupidly forgot to bring 2 VERY important things that matter so much to me.... one was a novel(i need to read) and the other was a bible.... OH THE ANGUISH.... i felt so empty, so thirsty, so hungry.... i'm not trying to portray that i'm this superrrr good guy who reads the bible every day.... I admit i don't - and not proud of it.... but being UNABLE to read it and NOT reading it is totally different.... I had a thirst - a thirst for The Word.... imagine a vampire.... imagine someone who ran a hundred miles and did not have a single drop of water..... and then consider my situation.... although in all 3 situations what was desired was different, the level of thirst are equal, so to speak....

another reason for my feeling so down and empty during NS was because i had NO access to Christian friends... wait, dont misunderstand me... I have alot of friends in NS who are Christians.... but what i truly long was for fellowship within the Christian community.... i really wanted to worship God with my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.... I felt severed from the world....

the fact is, the separation from God's word and God's people are truly unbearable..... Imagine being separated from God Himself.... I shudder at such a thought.... this is what is lacking in many Christians today - the thirst for God.... thats why passion after conferences, concerts, evangelical events don't tend to last for most people.... what i'm really bummed at is, people who talk and talk, but dont WALK THE TALK.... for those who know me well, integrity has always been top priority.... i dont like hypocrites... i dont like people who say something and do another.... i admit i sometimes fall into that category, i am after all HUMAN.... but everytime i realise that, i hate my actions....

back to the main point.... the thirst for God must be in all Christians..... we must want more and more of Him.... however much we think God can give, we are always wrong.... he can give SOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE than you can even imagine.... a simple prayer a day can go a long way in your lifelong relationship.... praying has to come as a second nature to all of us.... we dont have to go into hour long prayers everyday.... thanking Him in the morning that he has blessed us with what we already have, asking Him to help you understand what you are about to learn, asking Him to grant you favour, asking for strength to go through whatever u are going through.... all these are but examples of why we can pray..... praying is not what people think it is..... to me, prayer is just the same as talking to someone.... just that in this scenario, we are talking to our Abba Father.....

imagine this.... we are all cups or containers..... we are human, so we can only hold a certain amount.... when we ask for more and more from God, we tend to overflow.... try pouring more water into an already full cup.... obviously the result is clear.... that is what our lives should be like.... getting more and more from God, and overflowing into the lives of our family, friends and others.... that is how we can make an impact in their lives..... let them feel who and what God is.... let them taste the glory and wonder of God..... let them experience God's never ending love.... our cups should be overflowing with all of these which we gain from Him...

the thirst that i seek for is the thirst for God.... with God, we are everything.... without Him, we are nothing....

i would like to end with a challenge.... do you REALLY want to thirst for God? do you want to get so much from him that you will overflow? I do.... how bout you?

food for thought....

selling off pc....

haha... after 2 and a half years of loyal service, i'm finally selling off my pc.... i guess desktop pc's are mostly for gaming purposes... since i dont really play alot of games now, using a laptop REALLY REALLY saves alot of space.... minor adjustments include smaller keyboard, smaller screen and.... well thats bout it... haha.... i'm using my aunty's laptop now as i have NO cash to buy my own.... anyway, i dont really need my own laptop now..... when i'm off to uni then i'll get one i guess.... perhaps by that time, they'll get quad or maybe 8 core laptops?? haha.... DREAMS DO COME TRUE.... so in 2 years time, i SHALL get a super laptop.... haha.... thats it for now....

THANKS OLD PC FOR UR SERVICE.... final words to you - SNLR(service no longer required)!!!

an old poem by me

Friendship

Friends,

What are they?

Friends,

People who are there,

People who care,

People who comfort,

Soothe you when you’re hurting,

Even when you’re old and ragged,

But,

What defines a true friend?

From an acquaintance,

A contact,

Or a mere person?

True friends,

Ones who care,

Ones who dare,

Put things in ways no one can,

They reprimand you when you’re wrong,

Praise you when you’re right,

Encourage when down,

Criticize to set things right.

They are willing to sacrifice,

Even to fight,

Only for your sake,

But will never forsake.

For true friends are sincere,

They want you as their peer,

To not walk along the dangerous path,

But always stay away from the rough.

They cry and weep and mourn,

When you are so forlorn,

They share your tears and pain,

Even in the rain.

Your presence gives them joy,

Your words soothe their mind,

They revel in your happiness,

And leave their problems far behind.

With you their secrets are shared,

For their trust in you uncompared,

They only hope for the best,

Trying to muddle through the rest.

True friends are like gems,

Very hard to find,

Truly sparkling they will be,

After being refined.

Refining process is tough,

A journey hard and long and rigid,

But when you reach your destination,

You suddenly feel that it was worth it.

Friendships have their ups and downs,

None of them are out of norm,

But if we never learn from them,

True friendships can never form.

For people change and times go by,

But true friendship lasts forever,

Treasure your friendships well,

Be lonesome you will never.

Friendship is like a bridge,

Joining two together,

But without proper care and attention,

Surely it will falter.

Be a good friend,

And many will want your companionship,

Do not judge,

And fruitful be your relationship.

The secret to eternal friendship,

Isn’t really a secret,

Tolerance, loyalty and trust,

All these are a must.

With each step we take,

And every move we make,

Let us be mindful of others,

To learn to give and take.

The story ends on a happy note,

If you learn not to gloat,

Through betrayal and deceit,

A great friendship can come to end,

But forewarned these actions make,

An unpleasant way to end it.

Forgive and forget a friend will do,

Cause they will always have faith in you,

But do not take forgiveness for granted,

Or you might find yourself not wanted.

A real gem of a friend,

Is one on whom we can depend,

They will always help in times of need,

Even if we don’t take heed.

For true friends are as such,

They give everyone so much,

This separates them from any other,

They are just like a sister and brother.

~Aren~

a new blog, new stuff to say...
