Is It Worth It?

"An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind."

- Mahatma Gandhi


Last week, a group of 23 South Korean Christian volunteers were kidnapped by the Talibans. The leader of this Christian group was killed after the rebel prisoners were not released by the Afghan government by the Friday (July 27) noon deadline. So far, the other hostages are reported to be still alive and okay.

Google the Internet for news about this.

Judging from the situation, i believe have a no-deal policy when it comes to terrorist negotiation.No government would make deals and arrangements with such groups, which would undermine the authority's power, judgement and credibility among its citizens. But under certain circumstances, the government at times have to submit to these dealings (watch 24 to understand this notion).

I guess the world see that the Talibans are good at... err... terrorizing, being a terrorist group after all. I wonder how family members of this faction would react, knowing their father, brothers, siblings or other family members being involved with this inhuman acts. How do they keep their heads up high or walk around in public being 'labelled'. Or how the family members of the Korean hostages would do, when they get a chance to face the Talibans....

History would only prove what these people are either bad or good... which seems more like the former as times and events progresses.

Like everyone, i pray that things will turn out better for these Koreans.


"...Like an angel with no wings
Like a kingdom with no king

What have we become?
A self indulgent people
What have we become?
Tell me where are the righteous ones?
What have we become?
In a world degenerating
What have we become?"

I'm still here (Encore)

Well, it's been awhile since i got to blog my thoughts in here. It's not like i don't want to.

For now, I'm certainly not throwing both my arms in the air now with joy (literally and figuratively). I'm still going through physiotherapy and my right arm is only about 30% function status. Waking up every morning and moving my arm too much brings pain and agony. But that has not killed my love for writing.

The other reason for me not writing is my state of mind. I'm one not of unsound mind, but admits to having issues - issues on synchronization between my mind and my heart. These two can't seem to be looking to each other eye to eye. Ergo, it has been affecting my judgements, decisions and my mood.

And with the bombardment of bad news on the media today, I don't want be another bearer of bad news. I'll try to put up as much encouraging, hilarious and informative stuff which goes on in my life, which can be directly or indirectly be relevent to you.

But for now, i hope to be able to gain clarity in thoughts and peace in my heart before i can go full swing in blogging once again.




"...Ichigo, think you can tell me what the difference between a king and his horse is?"

....

"And don't even think about saying some kid's riddle answer... 'because one has two legs and the other four' or some shit like that.

"It's about the form, the ability, and then the power! Almost like the two could have been the same existence at one point!

"But then, the one that fights to rise to the top becomes the king! Whichever one is leftover is to become the horse, lending its power to the former! Now, i ask you... what is the difference between the two?

"... There's only one answer.

"INSTINCT!!

"A vital tool for someone who has equal power but wishes to seek out something more. A vital tool for one who wish to become king!

"With this, the user will naturally be drawn to battles... be drawn to more power... and use such to mercilessly obliterate his enemies beyond any hope of recognition! Slicing them into pieces... mangling them.... All of this brought on by an absolute raw hunger for battle!

"Our skin is peeled off... our meat scooped out... bones crushed, nerves nullified!

"Every part of us, chiseled down to the very core! All in order to sharpen our killing instinct!!

"Something you have no knowledge of! Your instinct is too obvious, too normal!

"You only fight with reason... and you always need a reason to cut down your opponents! Just who the hell did you think of attacking when your sword vaporized!?

"You see... this is why you will forever be weaker than me! Ichigo!!"





- Hollow Ichigo

Taken from Kubo Tite's manga Bleach (Chapter 220 - King and His Horse)



Everytime i read this part of the manga, it feels like those words are screaming violently in my mind.


Hollow Ichigo: If you slack off even a little... just remember that at that time... I can buck up, trample over you... and crush your skull beneath my hooves!!

Ichigo Kurosaki: Sorry, but... I ain't gonna let you do that.

But with God's grace and help, i know i can overcome this circumstance.

I'm still here

A notice to inform you readers that BlurChu? is still alive and not dead yet. But BlurChu? wouldn't be doing any blogging in the near future.

Why the hiatus?

For the benefit of readers who is clueless on what has been going on, here's the short summary of what happened:


BlurChu? was involved with an accident at the end of April, which left BlurChu? with a fractured right arm. Live was a little tough.

Fortunately, two months later, the cast has been taken off. But BlurChu? has limited function of the right arm, needing to attend weekly physiotherapy sessions and regular exercise. And in a few week's/month's time, by God's grace, BlurChu? would be able to regain full control of the arm, or at least start writing again.

Thus, till that happens, BlurChu?'s blog will be left that way till the day of total recovery arrives. Till then, do visit the blogs and websites visited by BlurChu?.




Is BlurChu? qualify to use facilities labelled with such?


Love & Peace!~

Letting Go.

"...'Cause you're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
That you would know
You're a god
And I am not
And I just thought
I'd let you go

But I've been unable
To put you down
I'm still learning things I ought to know by now..."



Taken from Vertical Horizon's You're A God


There are somethings we need to let go in life. It could be a person, an object or a habit that we just cling to for so long, that we rot because of it. Like kryptonite poisoning, it kills you slowly and painfully.

Letting go sometimes means dying to your own self. Nope, not talking about jumping off a 25-storey building or stabbing knives into yourself. Rather, die to your own selfish ambitions and desires. And pursuing something of higher calling.


24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 The man who loves his life wil lose it, while the man who hates his life in the world will keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My father will honor the one who serves me.


John 12:24-26, NIV


Thus, i believe, if we were to let go of things for God's calling, we would gain so much more in return. No doubt it tears you up within; but that's the price we need to pay, like refining gold. Without going through the fire, it would still stay tainted and dull.


31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.


Matthew 6:31-34, NIV


I'm trying my best to let go of my 'god(s)', as i walk through the fire.

Bang! It Could Be You.



"...Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school but who knew that this day wasn't like the rest,
instead of takin the test I took two to the chest.
Call me blind but I didn't see it comin and everybody was runnin but I couldn't hear nothin, except gun blast,
it happened so fast I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class.
Maybe this kid was reachin out for love or maybe for a moment he forgot who he was or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged,
whatever it was I know its because

We are, we are the youth of the nation...."

When we thought the Columbine High School shooting was horrifying, Americans once again find horror in the latest incident at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where 32 students were killed by a student before turning the gun on himself.

"BLACKSBURG, Virginia (April 17, 2007): The deadliest school shooting in US history spread shock waves though the United States on Monday, reviving calls for tighter gun control and renewing the debate about campus security.

The rampage left at least 33 dead and 15 wounded at the Virginia Tech University here and most of those killed were students attending classes at a hall at the university, where the gunman apparently used chains to lock the doors and prevent the victims from escaping, campus and police officials said...."

Apparently, this dude, Cho Seung-Hui has some issues also to deal with.

"BLACKSBURG, Va., April 18 — Campus authorities were aware 17 months ago of the troubled mental state of the student who shot and killed 32 people at Virginia Tech on Monday, an imbalance graphically on display in vengeful videos and a manifesto he mailed to NBC News in the time between the two sets of shootings.

"You have vandalized my heart, raped my soul and torched my conscience,” the gunman, Cho Seung-Hui, said in one video mailed shortly before the shooting at a classroom and his suicide. “Thanks to you, I die like Jesus Christ to inspire generations of the weak and the defenseless people....”

He may look cool, but the outcome of his actions sucks.

Who is to blamefor putting a gun in a hand of a child? The NRA? Parents up-bringing? Stress from studies? Teachers? Society? The law? By pointing fingers at others, we to need to examine ourselves and ask, could we be the one who pushed him to the edge?

Somehow, i believe all parties are involved in this disaster. And no one should look away from it, but imbed it into our conscience, reminding ourselves that history could repeat itself.

Watch Michael Moore's Bowling For Columbine - a movie documentary that took an interesting look at the Columbine High School shooting, and the elements connected to the incident, everything from the sales of guns to the public and Firearms amendments to public safety and school regulation.

Maybe, all we need to do is be a friend to the people around us. That person maybe the quiet girl sitting at the corner of the classroom, or the nerdy boy who rarely speaks to anyone. For all we know, we can help prevent something like this in the future. Like in the play, An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley, everyone is connected in someway or another. Ergo, whatever decision we make, whatever we do is a butterfly effect.

For all we know, we could stop another kid from running amok in school while putting lead into other students.


"If everyone cared and nobody cried,
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day when nobody died...."

Smilling With Mouth Wide Open!

I can’t stop licking the back of my teeth. It feels so clean!

When I was younger, I rarely went to the dentist. Visits to the dentist’s office was solely to put out a bad tooth. It was my two numbskulls-for-siblings, Rowen and Ernest, who would visit the dentist to get their teeth filled; and a couple of years back, Ernest got his braces.

I didn’t fulfill the quota of getting a dental check-up every six months. So, the last time I visited a dentist was many, many moons ago! Till this afternoon.

Following my dad's intruction, i drove myself down to Petaling Bahagia Government Dentist, which is a ten-minute drive from my house. After two registrations (i registered at the wrong clinic before realising that the dentist was just beside the health clinic!) and a surprisingly short wait, I walked into the dentist’s office.

And for the first time, i got my teeth scaled. Ten minutes with the dentist was almost agonising, as she scaled my teeth with this little drill/water-pressure gadget in my mouth as i hold this tiny vacumm tube to suck out water and saliva from under my tongue (perhaps she doesn't want me to choke on my own saliva, or drool all over during the procedure).


No way on earth would i want teeth like D-Roy, one of the Arrancars from Bleach.


I can’t stop licking the back of my teeth.

Besides that, I had one tooth filled today (another first time for me!), and I’ll be getting two other decayed teeth filled next month.

Heard of the karma phrase "what goes around comes around"? I still remember this one time, where i laughed at my friend when he had an ulcer in his mouth, and a few days later i had not one, but TWO ulcers in my mouth. I can imagine my brothers laughing as my stainless record of good teeth has been broken.

Goodbye to those days i could eat ice and anything without complaining of sensitive teeth. Looks like i have to take care of my diet (for weight-wise as well). At least I can eat with both sides of my mouth!

I can’t stop licking the back of my teeth. Did i said that just now?

Mustard Seed.


"You are my strength when i am weak,
You are the treasure that i seek,
You are my all in all,
Seeking You as a precious jewel
Lord to give up, i'll be a fool,
You are my all in all...."



Taken from All in All by Dennis Jernigan


All in All - That’s one of the songs that Oliver chose when he led worship during the Youth Combined meeting couple of weeks back. Well, many found it hard to swallow the fact that he worship led (i swore i saw a pig flew by! HAHAHA!~) Kiddish song, but as long as the people have the right attitude of worship and serving God, what song you sing doesn't matter. It's the heart of worship that counts. Click HERE for more on what Oliver has to say about his experience.

Oliver, good job!

But there's a reason why i'm typing this entry with such a beginning - i'm running low on faith, as it seeps out little by little.
Too many things have been put on my shoulders, and it's taking a toll on my, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Last Friday, despite having the new members around, i failed to manage the bring the cell group into having a proper discussion. I guess when we're doing the same lackluster routine day in and day out, we too mundane.

In other words, bored; as there isn’t much change going around. I smell decay somewhere (and it’s not from under the sink of Oliver’s house) But still, without change, we can’t go anywhere. Change is good!

A couple of week’s time i maybe relieved of my post as Assistant Homegroup Leader. Reason being i don’t agree with taking up a job where you do not or can’t use half of the supposed responsibilities given. It’s no different that being a puppet in a parade.

I don’t feel like taking up leadership in the youth group, but I would still be around guiding the other younger ones.

In this juncture of confusion and doubt, I really would want a faith of a child -innocent, naive and carefree of problems and responsiblities weighing down adults.

I know of primary school kids as young as 11, being rebellious when being pushed to strive well in studies. Pressure in small, controlled amounts is good to ensure things get moving. I guess anyone would do better if their not over-pressured by parents, or other people for that matter.
If i were to keep talking about my darn problems, i guess some would just feel as depress as i am (or worse) and would decide to jump off a five-storey building. Thus, i shall stop my rantings here.

No matter what happens, i want to keep my faith (and perhaps, sanity) intact. But like the refining process of putting gold into fire, i want to emerge a better person through all these circumstances, even when my faith is as tiny as a mustard seed.

He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Matthew 17:20, NIV



"...Sometimes, when I feel miles away
and my eyes can't see your face
I wonder if I've grown to lose the
recklessness I walked in light of you

They say that I can move the mountains
And send them crashing to the sea
They say that I can walk on water
If I would follow and believe
with faith like a child..."

Too Much Info!

I can't believe in the past two weeks, i've been going to the cinema to catch a total of four movies!

All assignments and presentation are done and over with... and with all that behind, and exams to look forward to (?!), i decided to take a break and catch a few movies before hitting the study desk. Here are the movies i've watched so far (in no particular order):


Meet the Robinsons




Yesterday, Alex Hooi, Pek Mei and I watch this movie after their presentation for Creative Strategy for Advertising was done with – the finale of all presentations and assignments.

Another feel good 3-D movie from Disney, which revolves around the theme of sense of belonging (family), time traveling and perseverence; moving forward despite of failures.

The movie was somewhat predictable, but for RM6, it was worth it lah.

Plus, there was an interesting quote from Walt Disney at the end of the movie.

"We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

Tiny the T-Rex was cute!


Mukhsin



The story touched on how a friendship between a boy and a girl, which blossom into 'infatuation' and somewhat became awkward along the way.

The underlining sub-themes are interesting as well – like foreign-cultural influences, family-comes-first, the effects of polygamy on the first wife, etc.

I wonder why it took too long for us Malaysia to accept our own movie, until it won the Grand Prix by the Kinderfilmfest International Jury and a Generation K-Plus Crystal Bear Special Mention at the 57th Berlin International Film festival. Kudos to Yasmin Ahmad for what she's done!

Do click HERE for more details on the movie.

I find the ending to be interesting; especially the last two lines. What are they? Do watch them yourselves.


Bridge to Terabithia



Another story between two friends, and the fantasy world the brought to live - with imagination and an open mind.

I guess why many were turned off by this movie is because audiences were expecting action from Terathibia itself (since the two main characters, Jesse and Leslie were the 'rulers' of this place.) However, the story basically revolves around their friendship, and the things that goes around their lives, like family and school.

Towards the end, the movie does touch on accepting the facts of life, and that life must go on, no matter what. Oh, and not forgetting that it talks about how the memories left behind, should be put into good use to impact others.

"She brought you something special when she came here, didn't she?"


- Jack Aarons, from Bridge to Terabithia




Mr Bean's Holiday




Last Monday, i watch this ridiculous movie with Chee Been (ironically, he almost look like Mr Bean himself!), Chin Han and Soo Yee. This was one of my impulsive, think-not-of-consequences decisions i made.

In the whole movie, Mr Bean was just plain dumb-lucky (literally), from trying to eat raw seafood and keeping awake while driving to saving the day for everyone in the movie with the video he took - everything he does is just darn unbelievable. But the ending was lousy.

I personally prefered how the first movie ended. But i know this from watching both the Mr Bean movie; my IQ dropped a few points.

Now, how am i going to study for my finals?!

For Us Sinners.



"Thank You for the cross, the mighty cross
That God Himself should die for such as us,
And everyday we're changed
Into Your image more and more
Yes, by the cross we've truly been transformed.

And we're so amazed, and we give You praise
That You would save us at such a cost...."

Taken from Mark Altrogge's Thank You For The Cross



I wonder if i could be more like Christ, sacrificing Himself for the sake off others. There couldn't be a more humble act than this.

I wonder if i could take the pain He endured, physically and mentally, throughout the time He was caught till He was on the cross on the darkest hour of the day.

I wonder....

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

Signal It, Then Turn!

"What to do, Malaysian drivers what..." that's what Oliver told me when i told him about how reckless some drivers can be when they do not properly use their signal lights.

Nope, i'm not stereotyping every single Malaysians holding the wheel. Not all drivers on the road got off with the 'kopi licence'. I salute those who abide the rules and regulation, slowing down when the traffic light turns ember, or stopping at the red light at 2am. Is just that, there are times these group of people pisses me off.

Not too long ago, i wrote an article for theSun's U! section the youths's (read: my church friends) opinion on Malaysians' social ethic, about the time when Malaysia was ranked the third rudest country worldwide. Sometimes, what they say about Malaysians and their attitude is just so true, but then again, it's up to you to decide that fact. To read the article, CLICK HERE.

Well, back to the signal light issue in hand. Sometimes, there are those who turn left (or right) which giving the other drivers a chance to know what to do next. Imagine trying to turn right at the T-junction. A car coming from your right just decided to abruptly turn left without a warning. I find this disturbing. He/she wasted my anticipation time to turn right.

Another case is where the signal light is abused. Using the same scenario, but this time, the idiot signal left. As you are prepared to drive out to the clear street, this driver passes the left turning, and drive on through. I also find this disturbing.

I believe people should be re-educated on the purpose and uses of that stick sticking out near the steering wheel. There are times i feel like drivers who abuse the indicator lights should be shot at sight. *argh*

But should they be shot? That's the question.

The Weird Thing....

With some many assignments and commitment to attend to, i decided to push those workload aside, lower my IQ points and do this tag-entry.

I've been tagged Kathleen Tan and Koh Jolene recently, and here's what the entry said:

"Each person starts out by telling 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write (in their own blog) 6 weird things as well and state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave each of them a comment letting them know you tagged them and the cycle goes on."

Here there are:

1. Everytime i eat tosai bawang, i start from the middle not the side of the tosai. It's something i'm blind about that idiosyncrasy until a friend of mine pointed it out.

2. Many times, i put an all nighter to get my assignments/work done; only to discover i spend the time reading mangas and watching for no reason.

3. Unlike normal righties, i hold my knife with my left hand. I might be striving to be an ambidextrous!

4. The car horn is barely used to honk roadhogs or idiots behind the wheel. Most of the time, it's to alert my friends as i drive by them, as a wassup gesture.

5. Walking has been my passion since i was able to walk. I can walk and walk (and talk the talk?) for a long, long time. Imagine walking from the Ampang STAR LRT station to Ampang Point Shopping Complex or walking from Universiti PUTRA LRT station to Section 17. It helps ease the mind and it's a good short exercise.


Having a good walk-partner is a plus point.

6. There are numerous incident where i found myself sleep driving. It's like sleep walking, only i don't get up from the bed and into the car. Rather, i fall asleep while my car is still moving on the road. It happened too often, and i thank God i'm still alive.


Though there was a time i bumped into a car asleep in front of the red light. The driver though i was furious at the driver for not moving when it was green. *phew*

Now, here's the list of people who i would want to tag:

1. Oliver
2. Sui Li
3. John Rueben (Keep your blog alive!)
4. Cheong Keen
5. Dewgem-ing
6. Anyone else who is reading this!



I'm starving....

Those Melaka Days.

I was suppose to post this up a couple of weeks back. Anyway, here's a picture entry on some of the things i did and place i went while i was taking a break in Melaka.

Here, my adventure to Melaka begins. One step at a time.


The aftermath from feasting on Satay Celup. *Yummy*


Sin Yee and Ian Lee, the first pair of culprits involved with this aftermath.


Second pair of couple, David and Dewgem here with us at the scene of crime!


Chicken ball rice Chicken Rice Balls... as yummy as it sounds, it's a tongue-twister as well!


Watch out human traffic on Jonker Street as people walk by to shop. Not much to see, as we walked there on a weeknight.

One making a wish here. One wonders what wish to make. One thinks of the wish to make. One ponders if wish made was for himself or selflessly for another. One examines the hundreds of copper and silver coins at the bottom. One questions if he's wasting his money on this....


When things are tough, you need to take control of the sail and move along.


I wanted to re-enact a scene from Pirates of the Carribeans, but i feared that i might end up being another patient in House.



Imaging singing Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars while lying down on the floor of the museum. Even Dewgem decided to bail out on us at the last minute. We were motionless on the floor.


As we decided to take a break and post for the camera.


While people like Issac Mendez and Nathan Petrelli (of the TV series Heroes) have the ability to paint the future and fly, respectively, i ened up with the ability to attarct fishes. Interesting, since fish isn't my best liked meat dish.

I bet Rowen's envious when i show his this picture of arms collection here. But then again, he has seen better.


When you're lost, is best to stop and ask the locals on where's the next best cendol stall.

Sorry Justin Tan... no photos of you. Blame the cameraman (or in this case, camerawoman!) Anyway, all was fun, even till we headed back to KL. Though, i slept (a little) while driving back on the highway.

Ivory of Age

Can't believe it happened to me. It's horrifying!

Last night, while helping out Pek Mei with her group assignment, she spotted a strain of white hair on my head. Too prove my disbelief, she yank it out and showed it to me.

I was just too stunned to come to that truth.

This goes to show one of these few outcome,

1. I've been facing too much stress that it's taking a toil on my hair.

2. I've getting old.

3. I was shocked and surprised one time too many.

4. All the above.

Whatever the reason(s) maybe, this just strengthen the fact of the statement that Bernard cannot be a God.

HAHAHA!~ I'm losing it.

Start Off Right

"...Everyday, Lord, I'll
Learn to stand upon Your word
And I pray that I
That I might come to know You more
That You would guide me with every single step I take, that
Everyday I can
Be Your light unto the world

Everyday, it's You I live for
Everyday, I'll follow after You
Everyday, I'll walk with You, my Lord...."



Excerpt from Hillsong United's Everyday


Yiks! As you entering into the month of March, have you ever wondered what you have been doing for the past two months since the beginning of the year?

I'm caught off guard, shaken back into reality as March slipped in as dawn came about. I thought to myself,

"Time does fly by fast. What have i been doing all these while?"

Putting that gloomy piece of information aside, the devotion material i did yesterday morning caught my attention. Taken from Our Journey (Mar-May 2007), the devotion basically talk about how we should start our day right, by putting everything in your live into God's hand, approaching God freshly every day to gain His heart and His perspective on what is before us.

Here are somethings the writter, Crawford W. Loritts, suggested in approaching God daily:

1. Begin the day by pouring out your heart and concerns to God.

2. Acknowledge that He's in charge, and that everything of eternal significance will come only through Him.

3. Decide not to stand in His Way.... Eagerly watch.


Besides a hearty breakfast, the bright golden sun and birds chripping by the window, i don't think there's any other more beautiful way to start a great day than praising and worship God! That's why every day is a present from Him to us - and it's call the present.

I wouldn't have it any other way. All glory to Him!


"1 Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning. 2 Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and My God, for to you do i pray. 3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning i prepare a sacrifice for you and watch."


Psalm 5:1-3
