Boo!

Today's Halloween!

From the perspective of a Malaysian dude who hasn't been the western countries, i believe Halloween is the day where people can wear silly, ridiculous-looking clothes, go a knocking at neighbours you never knew exist and get tonnes of free candy from strangers without begging. Plus, it's a good time to carve out those mushy pumpkins and be a holligan for the year.

I dislike pumpkin, as much as i dislike bacang.

But nonetheless, i can now laugh like Don Kanonji and it's acceptable today.

Buahahahahaha!~

I guess when this kid grows up, he wouldn't want his parents to be showing this to his girlfriend, or anyone else for that matter.

Now, Where To?

Last night, about hundred odd church members gather at church to discuss about where the church is heading, literally.

With the committee have decided that the building and land we're buying is the one in Good Shepherd kindergarten is in Ulu Klang, along the MRR2 Highway; which is about another five minutes away from where the church is. A little further for me to travel and much closer to those staying in Bukit Antarabangsa.

The place is quite nice, though it's a slopey and we have to make our way all to the top of the hill. But interestingly, it lives up to the term 'city on a hill'! Plus, there's a stream behind the buildings and the nature environment for both nature lovers and group dancers, like those in the Hindi movies. *Oh yeah*

By the end of the night, majority of the members support the notion of getting that piece of land to be our new location. As the property in question is still in bidding, and with another nine companies competiting to out bid each other, all we as the church can do nothing, except pray and have greater faith (not greater God!) that the management there will sell the land to us.

On another note, i've been worshipping the wrong god too often, namely the Idiot Box!

With the amount of assignments, responsibilities and work, there's only so much i can watch in a day.

Where Should I Begin?

With many things going on in my life and the pile of workload that comes with it, i can barely have time to blog everything in one sitting.

Good thing i've completed the assignment which i have to hand in tomorrow morning a couple of hours ago. That means there's enough time for this entry and TV!

Let's see. There are a things i want to write about, like going to the European style fun-fair with Pek Mei (she was there for the assignment, i was there for the excitement), animes and manga, what's going on with the people around me, list of things i plan to get, etc.

There's just too many events coming my way, and i'm just keeping my eyes wide open to absorb the rush. Eyelids are getting heavier...

Somewhat, i feel like i'm in Hanataro Yamada's shoe... err... sandals? Pity him, being a nobody and picked on most of the time.

I need to get some sleep real soon to get up for 8am class. *Argh*

You know that feeling you get some something great turns sucky? I'm currently feeling that since last night.

Having won the invite to go for the Deepavali open house event with Double D and few Traxx fm deejays in Taman Quepacs was overwhelming. Not only did i get the chance to meet deejays from my favourite radio station, but i also get to eat yummy food and get my Feature Writing assignment done -a kill t-h-r-e-e birds with a stone situation.

Accompanied by Fergarsen, we left Pandan Indah at about 6:45pm, hoping to reach the place on time. You see, reaching there wasn't the difficult part. It only took us twenty odd minutes to reach the residential area. It was finding the actual venue that was tricky.

To cut the story short, after enduring many wrong turns, dead ends and bumps for more than two hours, i decided to give up and grab dinner someplace else. Not only was it almost 10 pm, but the car was low on fuel. Feared that we would end up being a spin-off for Lost, again!

Fortunately, Fergarsen was there to accompany me while driving, chatting away to keep my company; being an active active audience per say.

Had dinner at Cowboy Delight in Cheras, sent Fergarsen back home before midnight, and manage to get a good night's rest for today's service.

But the main point here is not so much about the whole letdown, but rather what should i do for my assignment since i missed the event. While munching down my mushroom chicken, i thought,

"Maybe i could just say i went for the event, and make up a story. After all, it's Feature Writing. I just need to get C-R-E-A-T-I-V-E with it! It's not like Datin will be contacting the people i interviewed, or knows what's going on!?"

But then again, another thought hit me,

"Could you bring yourself to be an ethical journalist then?"

Creditiblity - that's one of the important assets for me if i were to be a good journalist in the near future. This maybe an assignment, and i could have taken the easy way out by creating a story out of a lie, but i can't just live with the fact it's fabricated piece of junk.

I may have misinterpretted some information before, but i'll try my best to tell the truth to the masses. I strive to be a good, if not great, journalist!

Looks like i have to inform Datin about the change of topic for my assignment.

Kill Two Stones with One Bird.

That's what Alex Woon told me before he and Alex Hooi almost reacted on pouching on me on Friday evening. Before i skipped class and left for Mid-Valley with Sui Li and her friend Wei Yi to get books and lunch.

Interesting what happened before that, after debate and during the discussion. I was told i spoke of weirdly accent when presenting my point. I almost can't remember what i said for that span of six minutes. Perhaps i was on 'd-bait' mode while i spoke.

My group, the Government (conprised of Alex Hooi, Pek Mei and myself) were supporting the motion "free trade should be discussed over the media". But back to discussion; students, mostly fellow juniors were giving their point of view over the topic we spoke about and in regards with the topic the other group debated about.

Then, Dr Carmen pointed out facts, which mostly struck a note in me about the things that are going on around us, and what are the pressing issues we face in our daily life - the pink elephant in the room.

It was from this discussion, it hit me like a train:

1. Read more
Besides the usual intake of manga and the occasional study notes, i guess i need to read more newspapers, events taking place around us and perhaps, novels?

2. Mature up
When you think the person next to you is darn childish, wait till you open yourself to the world, and you'll realise how insignificant you REALLY are. *sigh* Even younger dudes know what they are talking about compared to me. My knowledged is limited, and i should perceive my world better.

I still have a long way to go to be a better individual.

Die Stuffed or Laughing.

Just came back not too long ago after watching John Tucker Must Die at Cineleisure.

The movie, was darn hilarious. It may not be as hilarious as Talladega Nights, but it's hilarious in a way. Well, at least my IQ points didn't drop.

Can't believe after time and time again being humiliated in front of many peers and people around him, John Tucker just keeps getting more popular. It is as if he's god-like and praised by the high school students, even the teachers!

I'm just waiting for a day to see someone THAT influencial in my campus! But guys wearing thongs is somewhat feastible in the near future.


Had a great time watching it with Joshua Wong, Lai Seng, Sui Li and Tan Jo-Anne. Both Dewgem and Lydia Sim were with us before watch the movie, as we buka puasa at McDonald's at Mutiara Damansara in the evening after CF meeting.

With RM19.90, we ate so many burgers, fries and chicken nuggets, that we're just done with eating at this fast food joint for a couple of months. But at least i ate food worth more than the price i paid, yet it isn't the smartest ideas this week.

Well, i must say, it has been long day today. Will have to start fsating as well. Not to mention, go for the blood donation drive in the campus, have the group discussion with Alex Hooi and Pek Mei and to the funfair outside of 1 Utama with Pek Mei for her feature story assignment after that.

Another eventful day awaits.

Cacat I Not Wannabe!

Interesting was yesterday's episode of House. (Season Two, Episode 10: Failure To Communicate)

Like Edward Vogler said, "Doc-doc-doctor House is in the house!"


The patient, a famous-retiring journalist, was admitted for difficulty in language after a fall. Not only were the people around him were clueless of what he's trying to say to him, but he couldn't write what he thought of writing as well!

Apparently, the condition's called aphasia, where one suffer partial or total loss of the ability to articulate ideas or comprehend spoken or written language, due to damage to the brain caused by injury or disease.

Click HERE for more information about this disorder.

While watching, i was thinking to myself, this would be a scary to be stuck with should neurological disorder!

Imagine, if i were to speak to my editor in aphasia mode;

Editor: So Bernard, how did the assignment go?
Bernard: Kill band call nothingness flew.
Editor: I beg your pardon?
Bernard: Kill band call nothingness flew. Cramped meatloaf?
Editor: What?
Bernard: Cramp meatloaf, home bear?
Editor: Err... i think you might need to see a doctor NOW!

Aphasia has been added into my list of fears! Though, being lame (err.. literally and figutively) is the least of my problem. OR is it?

Hmmm... a life of a journalist is most of the time, if not always, interesting and exciting. Ya?

I Hate Bacang!

It has been going on for awhile; my car reaked of a funky odour.

The stench was mild, and it was like curded milk, sweet and sour you might added. But i don't recall ever leaving an empty yogurt cup in my car, let alone any carton of milk! But the smells comes and go once in awhile.

Friends who sat in my car gave comments about the odour, saying, "What's that smell?" or "Did something died in here?"

I can't seem to shake this lingering smell off my car till this afternoon, when Alex Hooi told me there was a packet of squashed bacang under the front passenger seat.

Bacang? Now that's one food item that i don't really enjoy, and what more bring into my car.

After dropping Alex home and heading back to Sri Petaling, i then realised who the culprit was: And she was called Joanne Lee!

And then it all came back to me, how and when that sticky bundle of rice came to be in my car. It happened a couple of weeks back, when my car broke down a kilometre away from Lembah Beringin while coming back to PJ from Ipoh.

On that day, we stopped by somewhere around Ipoh for breakfast. And before getting back into the car, Joanne and i bought some Chinese snacks. And among what she bought was that packet of glutinous rice. And the rest is history.

I've got five things in my mind to say to Joanne now, but i decided to keep my mouth shut. I've been pushing on her nerves (hopefully, not the last one) one time too often already.

Lesson(s) learnt:

1. Never leave food stuff to go stale in your car. The smells too similar when you pass a garbage truck.

2. Check the car always, and keep it clean!

3. Bacang is STILL not sedap to eat (or smelled)!

Where Do I Stand Now?

Ha....

It has been eight years. And time passes by at a blink.

I wonder, if she was still around today, will i be a better person? Will the actions and choices made defer from what i've been committed to all this while? Will my life be as such till this day? I wonder.

And do i make her proud? Perhaps an answer from her will stop these teary eyes.

I want to know.

"...So fare thee well
Words the bag of leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness and call the waitress instead
She holds the answer, smiles and asks one teaspoon or two

'Cause it's not the way
That it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy..."

Rainy Days.

It was a sunny day today. Not a single dark cloud in the sky.

Let me just tell you what happened during the past three days, where the sun when hiding and the rain came out to play;

Monday - Oct 9

It was the first day of the semester. And indeed, it was thrilling to meet up with my classmates again. And with two subjects this semester, i can at least free-lance a little. Let's hope my backlogs are cleared first!

Anyway, after the Moral class, Alex, Eu Wah, Lily, Nic, I-Ling and i went to Mid-Valley. And was it raining cats and dogs while we headed there.

Nic told invited us to go skating there. It was ice-skating without ice.


At first mention of it, i thought it was some sort of sale gimmick. Skating without ice is no different that the normal skates on wheels. Or is it?

Upon arrival, it was true. That place was a skating rink without ice. It was more of a combination of the two worlds. The participant basically a pair of roller-blades, with its wheels replaced with bladey-wheels to go on the fiber-optic like rink. Ergo, the hybrid skates.

So, all of us, except I-Ling decided to give it a try. And by looking at the little girl staking around leisurely, we thought it was easy, but once we stepped into the ring, we knew immediately that we were wrong.

It was tougher than it is. Even Alex, Nic and myself who can skate took awhile to adjust to the situation.

But after skating for almost an hour, i got a hang of it and managed to skate faster. Later, in the evening, i learnt how to skate backwards! It was indeed an acheivement after a roller-blading hiatus of nine years!

Well, if you're into the manga/anime Bleach, i basically bankai-ed.
If you're more familiar with Digimon Adventure, i've digivolved.
Or if The Law of Ueki more of your cup of tea, i've earned a zai and a Jingi.

In laymen's terms, i've mastered the skating skills on this arena, but at the cost of my legs. The ached badly the next morning.


Tuesday - Oct 10

Went out for lunch with Joanne Lee, Justin Tan and Clarene (can't believe up to today, i don't know her surname!). It was a public holiday in Selangor, thus the whole area around Mid-Valley was crowded. It took me about 20 minutes to get around the megamall. Twenty minute of my life that i'll never get back.

Lunch at La Manila was decent and affordable. I wish i thought of this place the day before when we were looking for a place to settle for dinner.

Later, we decided to watch The Devil Wears Prada, though i wanted to watch another movie like Miami Vice (can't get over The Banquet issue!). And if i'm right, it was raining then in the evening.

It's basically holds the same storyline as the original novel: The protagonist, Andy Sachs (Anna Hathaway) got a job in Runway, a fashion magazine, which has a ruthless and cynical editor, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). The job Andy got is one where many would die for.

And through the movie, she manage to adept to the company and survive... but at what cost?

Lessons learnt from the movie:
1. If you want to do a job you enjoy, don't go applying for a job that you don't.

2. Colleagues at work might not be friendly, but be yourself and be friendly. It pays off!

3. If you're at the top, you better have a lot of cards under your sleeves, just in-case a coup happens. Being cocky and arragont is small fries if you have lots of information in hand.

4. Blending in to be accepted could be the best way. Beat your boss at his/her own game. Though, you might loss yourself in the process. (Heck, you wouldn't see me speaking in fluent Mandarin or being an Ah Beng in my university anytime soon!)

5. It was worth my RM7! Every single sen.

6. Next time, try abstaining from saying 'Mermaid','Ariel' or 'swim like a fish' around Joanne Lee. You wouldn't like it!


Wednesday - Oct 11

CF was on, though many things was not properly planned before. Just as we about to give up, students from foundation studies came. Thus, we decided to move somewhere else for some tea, food and chit-chat a little.

One of the informal meeting we had. Joshua, Lydia, Simon, Sui Li and myself with the three students, Ruth, Felicia and Shee Wuen were eating rojak at the hawker center was okay lah, since McDonald's in Sec 14 had no power while the KFC joint there was under construction.

Most of the time, we were talking nonsense and making jokes here and there. But we did discuss of why God put us here in UTAR, and how we can impact our friends in UTAR. I really want to make an impact towards the people around me.

I can't wait for the next CF meeting. But faith and prayer, i discovered, plays an important role in planning.

And once again, it was raining when we left the hawker center.



I wonder if it will rain tomorrow?

Here in Your presence i am free
Pour down like rain
Come touch me again
Lord, let your presence fall on me..."

Prayed for An Enemy Lately?

I was browsing through several blogs on the weekend, and one of it caught my attention.

Nope, it wasn't so much on substances or the picture. It's what she prayed for. This Christian friend of mine was praying for her friend who was having a tough time during this fasting month of Ramahdan. That stuck a chord in me.

Nope, i'm not playing the prejudice card here. But isn't it normal for one to pray for his/her love one or someone in the family (or really close), even if the other isn't a believer. But normally not for someone who is not in your good books, right?

But this is what Jesus said:

43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

Matthew 5:43 - 47 , NIV

The interesting thing about Him was He prayed and heal those who were lame, blind and deaf; even talked to social outcasts when others simple would not. Heck, Jesus even healed the injured ear of the soldier who came to arrest Him at the Garden of Gethsemane.

That just got me wondering, when was the last time i pray for someone who doesn't benefit me, but needs God's healing hand? An enemy who just hates every inch of my guts who needs salvation?

I've still got a lot to learn to follow His way. A step at a time.

Rojak Series #13

A lot has happened this week. Mussings and events that happened over the weekend. Anyway, let the TRS begin!

1. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby

This is one of the brainless-humourest movie i've watched this year besides NACHO LIBRE!

Watched it and it was okay. Targetted for young ones and teens, as it is produced by Nickelodeon. It was funny!

In a nutshell, it's the story about Ricky Bobby, a numero uno Nascar racer who fell from grace and tried to get back up to the top again. But in it, there is a whole mother load of nonsense!

From un-intelligent conversations and fake Italian accents to foul-mouth children and lots of speed, be prepared to leave your brains at home, sit back and enjoy the ride!

Watched it for free with Aaron, Lai Seng, Joelle and her two friends. Bumped into Iggy and met Sis Joyce who was in-charge of giving out the tickets to the special screening of the movie. Yup, it was f-r-e-e!


Darn funny!


2. Brotherly Love

Since my brother, Rowen, came back, we took some time off and watched TV, went out for meals and just laze around doing nothing.

Now he has already left for Ulu Yam for his TARC CF Camp. I guess it was fun when it lasted.


3. Cough! Cough!

Yup, the haze is back, once again! Wish it was fog, but that's just wishful thinking.

Praying for the rain to come, and more smiles appearing on people's faces.


4. Wedding bells!

My cousin got married yesterday morning. Congrats to Ee Lan and husband, Mr Lee.

Come to think of it, i'm not really close to my cousins on my dad's side. It could be the age-gap, it could be the language barrier. Perhaps i'm just not trying hard enough?


5. Stolen

My pair of wornout shoes were stolen. Discovered that when i wanted to jog this morning. Whoever who stole them must be THAT desperate!


6. Back to School

The short semester starts today! Can't wait to meet up with my friends today. And looking forward to more CF activities to attend.

Having only two subjects enables me to freelance for theSun. I'll do my best to produce good articles! And speaking of which, this goes to my next point;


7. Backlogs!

I've got a tonne of work to process, and deadlines are drawing closer! Will have to get them done ASAP!

Not good to leave them too long unprocessed!

Not in The Mood to Blog

Feel so, so moody and cranky. Ergo, i shall put up any entry of my own.

Instead, i'll just fill up this questionaire, a misunderstanding i had with Cheong Keen. Anyway, here it goes:


[Q1] Which church do you attend?
- Revival Centre, Kuala Lumpur

[Q2] Use 3 words to describe the person who tagged you.
Cheong Keen is
- friendly
- blurish
- enthusiastic

[Q3] Write down what is your favourite bible verse(s).
- Psalms 23. (Check your bible to read)

[Q4] Let's say tomorrow is the end of the world. List 5 things that you want to
do.
- To let the world end, if i'm somewhat part of the prophecy to apocalypse.
- To try and bring my dad back to Christianity.
- Call my brothers to see where they are.
- Call my close buddies and friends to see where they are.
- Eat some ice-cream and have a walk - a long walk.

[Q5] Your feeling(s) after answering these questions.
- I felt like that's five minutes of my life that i'll never see again. Not too excited, if i may add.

[Q6] Tag 3 other friends.
I'll try to limit this to the CF circle. So, the three names are:
- Lai Seng
- Lydia Sim
- Joanne Lee


That reminds me, i have another list of questions to answer, and many of my youth members have been asking me to do that. In addition, that same question was asked by Iggy yesterday at our-no-directions HomeGroup.

Will answer them on another not-so-fine day.

It's So The Drama!

Having free tickets to watch almost any movie in Cathay Cineleisure (near The Curve), both Julius and i decided to use those tickets and catch a movie. (again, this is one of the privilleges working for a press company.)

Saturday afternoon, after the special youth meeting at church, we both went there. And of all the movies available, i had to choose The Banquet.

The story basically tells of the power struggle between the late emperor's brother, the empress and the reluctant crown prince. It's Hamlet in the Chinese empire setting, which Kung-fu and more drama.

Interesting parts of the movie is the kung-fu scenes and the performing arts. And boy, i think they had tonnes of fake blood for most of the scenes. But the movie basically revolves around this word: DRAMA.

Color not inverted. There's so much blood that would any vampire go drunk. THAT blood!


For more information on this movie, do click HERE or HERE.


No points for guessing which of these characters survived in the end.

Honestly, it's so much of bad movie. It just has a lousy, hanging ending. If you're a fan of Chinese Kung-Fu movies, appreciate Chinese performing arts and literature or even if you enjoyed the movie Hero, starring Jet Li, this is indeed your cup of Chinese tea (pun not intended).

If you can't stomuch too much drama, blood and tears, steer clear from this movie!

I feel you, Daniel. Even if i were to act in such a movie, i would be in tears as well.

Having got free tickets to watch it, i guess it's vainless complaining about it.

Once again i got free tickets (please don't feel envious) to watch Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby tonight with Aaron Oon, Lai Seng, Joelle and her two friends. Just hope this movie lives up to its expectation and promotion.


This movie has Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G in it. Should be funny lah.

Ouch! (ver 1.2)

Can't believe i was stuck to the computer, chatting online for four hours non-stop!

Besides watching Naruto on youtube.com, i was chatting with friends, majority CF members and youths in the church. We talked about everything from CF meeting planning, blogging, how-cool-animes/mangas-are, how intimitating we are as a group online, and everything in between. Nonsense and factual talk thrown into the cyber conversation.

This was how crowded my desktop looked like!

Going back to the office to submit my articles later in the afternoon. Need to get them completed and need to sleep now.

Can't do this too often. It's wearing me off!

But if you're interested in adding me into your MSN list, go ahead and do so. Check my profile for the e-mail address, ok?

Me No Want Pot Belly! (ver 1.0)

I have to lose weight. I'm over-weight.

Recently, there were article over the newspaper that states the way to see if someone is obese is through his/her waistline.

With reference to that, i'm over 2 inches plus more than i'm suppose to be. Looks like i'll be seeing more greens and exercise and less meat and junk food soon. But it's no-no when it comes to vegetarian meat. Just don't understand why something like that was created. Heck, it's an oxymoron!

I need to slim down not only for appearance, but for health reasons. I don't want to be struggling for breath after doing some heavy workload.

Besides, sensible fashion for men doesn't come in XXXL!


Target: 2 inches less around the waistline, by the end of 2006!

Almost another episode of LOST (ver 1.5)

The CF planning retreat (Sept 24 - Sept 28) in Pasir Puteh, Perak was great, even though i missed the main CF camp this year.

But look at the bright side; i did get to know the other committee members of the PJ CF better, like they are as Shen Jing Ping (which co-incidently is the name of David's doll dog and now official mascot for the next CF camp) as i am, dig animes/mangas, and most of all, have a passion to serve for Jesus in the CF here. And not forgetting Dewgem's dog doll, Butter.

Planning went quite well, but the same can't be said about the birthday surprise planned for Jessica. It took too much time and the anticipation just died. Nonetheless, at least there was cake! And both David and Joshua kena floured or doughed, looking at the situation then.

On Thursday (Sept 28), Joanne Lee, Lai Seng, Zi Kang and myself headed for KL earlier, since i needed to work, and the others wanted to get back home ASAP as well. So, we left, while Mr Ben and Tan Jo-Anne left a couple of hours later for KL.

The journey was all okay, until i overestimated the amount of fuel left in the car. About a kilometre away from the exit to Lembah Beringin, the car ran out of gas and we had to stop. We were stuck 70km away from KL. So near yet so far.

Under the hot sun, we can't do much be wait for Ben to come with petrol. So, we decided to sit under the shades by the roadside and chatted. We talked and talked about stuff like what happens when dehydration strikes and enjoying nature. Joanne also took time to put on her nail polish (Which so happen caused the creation of the LAME REMOVER at the retreat.)

While talking about dehydration, Lai Seng pointed out that when he was on a three-day scout camp, he urined on Day 1 and the next time he peed was day three, and it was excruciating.

And i asked if that was the case, if one were to pass motion, would it be like coins dropped into a metal basin? Laughter burst in the midst of heat.

Fortunately, the situation of the four of us didn't end up being a spin-off for another drama series of people trying to find their way home.

While waiting for Ben to arrive, i decided to put twigs and sticks vertically into the soft soil, creating a cult-like mini wood worshiping minions under the trees. That was how bored i was!

Then, this song came about when the biggest branch fell to the ground;

"Jesus, You're my firm foundation
I know i can stand secure
Jesus, You're my firm foundation
I put my trust in your holy word
I put my trust in your holy word"

It just proves cultist teaching doesn't hold solid ground while Jesus and the Holy Bible does.

And after waiting for two hours, Ben came with petrol and a petrol cap for my car (left mine at the R&R station. Don't ask how i forgot to put it back on....) And my gratitude stretches to Cheong Keen for the petrol and Jing Hau for the cap.

Lesson i learnt:
1.If you can remember to fill your own stomuch and the stomuch of others, don't forget to fill the car too.
2. Sometimes, when you earn a sen, you loss a ringgit.
3. If you really, really can't pay with credit card, pay with cash.

Lesson they learnt:
To avoid deja vu, try not to follow Bernard next time, just in case.

Lesson we all learnt:
A life of a journalist is most of the time, if not always, full of excitement with a dash of thrills and unknown lurking.

But the most important thought to remember is to depend on God, no matter what the situation is. He'll bring you out for sure, no matter how long it takes.

"...But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - when Im falling
Lift me up - Im weak and Im dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - keep me from drowning again..."

The Third Q. (ver 1.5)

Time really flies when you're having fun. And now month of October has began.

Exiting the third quarter and entering the final quarter of the year. It's the beginning of the end of the year. And it feels like Christmas was just yesterday.

I can't believe i've been living in Sri Petaling for more than a year and the North Star Converse shoe (about) is more than a year old. By the way, the soles have holes and i'm still wearing them!

Having so little time left, i plan to make every minute counts. Make my life significant per say. But do expect more interesting entries from me, including what happened on the way back from the CF planning retreat and what happened yesterday.

No time to waste around. I know this because at least two years of my life have been.


"...Did you find what you're looking for
Did you get your foot in the door
Can you look at yourself and feel proud of all the things you've done
Did you inspire the ones that you knew
Make a difference to those who knew you
Did you finally figure out what it is that makes us who we are today

Don't waste another day
You never know when you'll get one
Don't waste another day
To do anything you haven't done..."

So, what have you done so far?

Love & Peace!~
