Cool Stuffs

Finally, it had arrived!

Last December, i won My Chemical Romance's latest album, The Black Parade through a Traxx fm contest. And a couple of days back, the CD was delivered to my front door. After hearing it once, two words come to my mind; gothic rock. And i have to admit, it rocks.

On a (b)lighter note, check out this adorable thing in my palm.

*Argh* I'm speechless, it said.

It's an interesting story to how i discovered this little cutie.

It was at the busy foyer in the campus, when i spotted a little brown bun on the floor. Curious, i picked it up, and it gave me that blank, speechless look. I went speechless as well, staring back at it.

Since then, i've became it's owner. Known as FMT (Fried Man Tou), this soft toy doubles a stress reliever. Guess i'll keeping this dude with me till it's real owner comes to claim it.

This ain't your cheap, ordinary alarm clock. It's a cheap, extraordinarily cool alarm clock!

After a mamak session last week, David Heng, Dewgem, Joshua Wong and i subbled on this stall selling this alarm clocks. From a distance, i was enticed by the colours radiated by these devices. Needed a clock, i asked the stall manager for the price.

And low and behold, it costed only RM10! A price deemed fit for my budget. Without thinking to much, i bought this alarm clock!

It's hot - burning-coal, red hot!


Soon after, David got one for himself. But it was Joshua who took the cake when he came back to purchase TWO of this gadget!


Look at how funky psychedelic purple can be... it's deep.

Nope.... This an no Kyprtonite. But it's gloomily green!

Being able to change into seven different colours, this toy is indeed eye-catching. I can watch it turn from green-to-yellow-to-orange-to-red-to-purple-to-blue all night long!

Now, it has turn ice cool blue.


And wow... the final item that i bought (without much thought given) last week was the second-hand SX Jazz Bass Guitar! For a whoopingly low RM550, it's now in my hands.

Surprisingly, my dad didn't make over the issue, nor did he went into a cardiac arrest. Anyway, all i need to do now is to get a strap, a casing for my sayang and a cable to get going with this funky ax!

Cool!
(There goes my money... ouch)

Freedom For Bloggers!

To bloggers all around, stand up for your rights as a blogger!~

The government ain't going to be monitoring or censoring our blogs!

"The government won't censor Malaysian bloggers on the Internet but they must be responsible for what they write, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Tuesday.

"We do not censor the Internet and that's our policy, but they (bloggers) must understand that there are also laws on defamation and sedition, for example...."

For more details, CLICK HERE.

"News of Malaysia's first defamation law suit against two bloggers has led many in the online community and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to rally together to protest against the legal action.

They are displaying web banners on their blogs, initiated an online movement named Bloggers United and are setting up a fund in the name of blogger solidarity and freedom of expression to defend their rights in the court of law...."

For more details, CLICK HERE.

I guess in whatever we do, whatever we write or testify, we should take full responsiblity of it, and be prepared to eat our own words when the time calls for it.

I think blogs will be around for a very, very long time.

Love & Peace!~

Here I Am.

Nope. Once again, i'm not dead, yet. Neither have the ISA black suits took me away, yet.

I can't believe i've not been updating my blog for awhile. This blog deserves an entry, one which is long-overdued.

Yes, i'm still here. Alive and kicking, i'm now in the middle of the third week of the semester. Many things have been delayed, but looks like they have to start ASAP, or they'll never be done when the eleventh hour comes.

Currently, i'm working with the UTAR Jan 2007 Talent Night finalist. Basically, people in the committee, like Jolene, Li Mei, Nicholas Ng, Joshua Wong, Patrick and myself are most of the time, if not always, present at the practice. It's either they'll be practicing their dance moves or singing and acting, i'll be there supervising and at times, giving advices to them. And i'm back home almost 11pm every weeknight. Seriously, it's tiring, but it's a commitment i need to take up. *yawn*

A couple of days back, a freshmen enquired somethings regarding the Talent Night event. I was insulted; not about the Talent Night request, but she asked if my hair was fake?! Speechless i was. I mean, who would want to attach fake hair to the back? *argh*

The gang from the anime "Honey & Clover". Where i am in live now is somewhat similar to Yuuta Takemoto (first from right) One day, i would want to travel away from home in a journey of finding myself. One day.


Another note, the next time anyone were to call me out, don't EVER call me out for the sake of introducing me to MLM or some crappy pyramid scheme! I felt so used and betrayed when a friend asked me out out of the blue, only to present to me about this money-making program.

Let me just say this - "I DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED. Thanks, but no thanks!"

if you really want to meet me because we haven't seen or chatted in awhile, don't ever shove stuff like this to my face. I feel insulted, as you misused your intention without revealing the real agenda....

Looks like i have to go for now. Readers, expect more to come.


"...And I want a moment to be real
Wanna touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong
And how can the world want me to change
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here...."

Analysis of Week 1: Things to come.

The first week as a senior as just passed, and another week is coming soon.

Got to meet my lecturers, and i must say, there are interesting ones. Some can keep on talking like the Duracell bunny, captivate the class attention by his creativeness or scared the class by showing statistics of how many people scored C in that particular subject.

And that includes the class their teaching. I've not gauged which subjects i want to score, but i want to excel in those advertising and computer-based subjects. In short, i want to increase my CGPA!

If there's one word to describe the state i was in recently, it would be "Browning Out".

It's being mentally fatigue, pushed to the edge and at the brick of burning out.



With all the responsibilities i have, whether it's in the university, church or at home, at currently at that stage now. When the tasks handed to me take up more than i can give. And the best part is i'm just beginning with my semester. How much more can i cope with six subjects under the belt this time? Not forgetting the fact i'll be teaming up with some group members, whom which is not much reliable as a piece of log.

I'm now picking up the pieces i left behind last year. Sometimes, there are irresponsibilities that bite back now. There are bridges burnt that need rebuilding once more. Regrets.

I realise that whatever burdens you have on your back, bring it to God. It's either that or you'll take up to much burden, and you'll break - breaking into frustration and tears.

Why carry everything on your own, when there's God who just to great to comprehend and able to lift your problems in His name?


"...and if i had wings i would fly
'cause all that i need, You are
and if the world caved in around me
to You i'd still hold on
cause You're all that i believe
and the one that created me
Jesus.. because of You.. i'm free..."

Seriously, i would love to be carefree of all the responsibilities i'm undertaking. But that wouldn't be great for everyone, would it?

If i wanted, i would have taken my own life last year. I'm glad now i didn't, despite the workload and pressure i'm facing now. With that, i know i am alive.

Come on, Week 2! Show me what you've got!

Love & Peace!~

Dear John....

Nope... I'm not writing a letter to John Reuben anytime soon.

I just finished writing a letter to the faculty office - seeking permission to use the rooms for the practices before the Talent Night event in UTAR PJ on Feb 7. And i almost forgot how to write a proper formal request letter. Kudos to the Internet for it's vast amount of information and worthless, unreliable crap.

I don't usually write letters; usually not through snail mail. I do sent e-mails (no, no... not forwarded e-mails) to my e-pals. But lately, none replied. So, i stopped....

I have friends who write to each other, the old school method in this era of technology. I do remember them telling me they find the thrill of doing so. Mind you, i heard this from two of my classmates from TAR College - who apparently write to each other.

The last time i did, it was to explain why i was late for my exam. It happened two years ago, when i was a freshmen, i came into the examination hall for the paper about 45 minutes late! According to the rules, i could not sit for the paper thirty minutes after the paper started. However, after telling the situation to the invigilator (and begging), i manage to sit for the paper and later, aced it! But the deal was i was to write a letter to the dean, explaining the situation.

I typed the letter, printed it and handed it to the dean. And apparently, the board of examiners are alright with the situation. Thus, an A- for that paper. That was the first time (and hopefully, the last!) i was ever late for an exam.

Now... to get it printed. And where do we get stamps from?

Love & Peace!~

Finally - Updated.

Now i can update my blog. But when i am able to do so, i can post my the blog entry i wanted, for some strange reason.

That behind, i just got my past semester's examination results. Despite passing both papers, my overall CGPA dropped. I'm now in stuck on how i'm going to bring this piece of news to my father. *sigh*

From this exam results, i know that i'm a B- student if i don't study. Yes, i didn't study for these papers and went into the examination hall headstrong with just my understanding on the subjects.

And i got a C for Moral. Just now classmate, Soo Yee was joking with me about how tak bermoral i am. *ouch* And i heard from Adeline that those who score A for Moral, have no life. *double ouch*

Looks like i have to study really hard for the last three semesters here in UTAR to maintain my CGPA above 3.2 points.

And my computer's having some issues. Or is it the Internet?

Love & Peace!~

It Hurts: Redux.

I don't know how it actually feels like, but it sure hurts a lot when someone you love with all your heart and soul leaves you.

I got to know this dude, through the freshmen who have helping me out, and this dude was talking and wondering about why his girlfriend dumped him a couple of weeks back. From the way he talk and expression, i guess he still isn't over about her.

Apparently, this dude is a player, who has a roaming eye, but have changed after going out with this one girl for ten months. After arguements and many things in between, she dumped him, spitting him out like bad meat. He was left devastated.

His friends told him to forget about her.
His mom told him she doesn't know what she's losing out.
I butt in, surprisingly, and gave a more surprising thought,

"Maybe she isn't meant for you? Maybe she was suppose to be with you so that you would change into a better person. Perhaps there'll be someone better who IS meant for you. So, she's there to prepare you for this better person - a turning point!"

I can't believe that came out of my mouth. But then again, what if the people you are with are there to help mould you into a better person, more suited for your one true love?

I can't tell if i'm saying this because i'm thinking clearly, or the fact i'm facing fatigue from the Day 1 of Orientation Week in the campus.


"...after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go..."

First.

This is what i don't want to be throughout this year. And it's possible with God's help.

Many things are there for me to complete, but breaking down i shall not along the way.
