Revamp

Such pretty colors ^-^


So here I am, lazing. I'm supposed to pack. Gosh, its already 5.
I was wondering why I'm so exhausted today (apart from the early hours of the morning I have to wake up by) and realized it was probably thanks to the extra exercise I've been doing in a desperate attempt to lose weight. Haha.

My laptop seem to have frozen but Firefox seems to be working. So, yeah.

Five nights in Singapore!! Woo!! So we managed to cancel the ridiculously expensive hotel booking and my dad and I came to a compromise that I am very happy with ;)
I'll be sure to snap lots of pics so they should be up here in, say, a couple of months.

I went to renew my passport earlier this morning at Plaza GLOMAC.

It took me slightly more than an hour to get there and only ONE hour to get my new passport! Incredible! I used the new kiosk machine. KIPPAS or something like that. So super convenient.


Recipe for Renewing Passport via KIPPAS
Ingredients
- Old passport
- IC
- Photocopy of IC
- Passport size photo (x1)
-Money (RM100 for 2 years, RM300 for 5 years)

~ Check which locations have KIPPAS machines. (As far as I know, Damansara and GLOMAC)
~ Head there as early as you can (But the queue is not that bad as far as I could see and its relatively fast to use the machine so yeah)
~ Follow prompts by KIPPAS machine. Insert passport and IC. Scan your thumbprint. Insert picture and money.
~ Take out receipt.
~ Wait an hour.
~ Drop off receipt at counter specified on receipt.
~ Wait till you're called =D

My dad told me to renew for 2 years but then apparently, if you have any remaining months on your passport, they wont be added to your renewed passport (up to 6 months).
Meaning, since my passport expires 31 Oct 2011, and if i renew 2 years, it will expire 26th May 2013 which is 2 years from today.
But since I renew 5 years, it expires 31 Oct 2016.
So I was calculating and if I travel within the 6 months my passport will expire, I'd actually be losing money and time renewing my passport again every 1.5 years, instead of saving that RM100.

I had originally picked a really awesome kick ass background but it made it hard to see the sidebar gadget stuff so I changed it but I like this one too.

I just remembered I'm going to Singapore during the Grand Singapore Sale.
Tourist benefits! 
Oh noes, its gonna be 6 soon!
*goes off to pack*

It is now 8:32pm.
Internet went off earlier but its back now. Kinda,.
Well, dinner is done and so is packing =)
Must not forget my booking slip and color pencils.
See you guys in a couple of days!

Hai

I have seriously lost any interest in listening to Hitz.fm. The music they play is getting more and more ridiculous. The best part is that they "play all the music YOU ask for". C'mon. Who wants to listen to 'I whip my hair back and forth, I whip my hair back and forth!'

So yeah.

If you see this, it means you're on my private blog!! Woo!
Reasons why I made a private blog:
1) I dont like the world knowing my business yo
2) To make life a little harder for you people cuz you gotta sign in to read heh

My birthday is coming.
My dad said he'd pay for my hotel stay this weekend in Singapore (within reason, of course) which made me jump for joy because accommodation would have seriously put a huge dent in my savings especially after Penang where I ate a worrisome amount of food.

So he gave me his card after I showed him a hotel on Agoda.com. He passed me his credit card and I proceeded to book it. Then... O_O OH KNS SHITTTTTTT I was clumsy and careless and dumb =_= i didnt notice the rates were not what I thought they were.
I sheepishly went to tell my dad and surprisingly he didnt get (very) mad at me. I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact I dropped the whole uni thing and I'm gonna get a job.
So he said he'd see if he could cancel the ridiculously expensive room booking (though a part of me hopes not, its a frigging awesome room in a frigging awesome hotel) and book another. If he cant, then well, I've got a nice birthday present abet an unintentional one.

Anyways, I recently got back from my trip to Penang.
For those of you who dont know, (Yes, I am going to announce it here to EVERYONE) I went for a job interview. Didnt get it. I'm going down to Singapore for another interview which is apparently harder to get but hey, its worth a shot eh?

List of Things I Ate In Ipoh + Penang
Assam Laksa (7 bowls)
Prawn Noodles (1.25 bowls)
Curry Laksa (1 bowl)
Rojak (~1 serving)
Chee Cheong Fun (0.75 plate)
Pork Satay (15 sticks)
Tuna Bun (1 bun)
Egg Tarts (2.5 tarts)
Char Siew Bun (1 bun)
Salted Chicken (0.5 chicken)
Fruits + Jelly
Tom Yum Maggi Cup (1 Cup)

I think this is all I ate. How long was I in Ipoh + Penang? I left at 9am Friday morning. Reached Ipoh for lunch, reached Penang by late afternoon, dropped by Ipoh again late evening on Monday and reached back about 10pm AFTER eating nasi lemak at SS2. So that list of everything I ate was around 72 hours, 3 days, give or take a couple of hours. I ate about 15 servings of food in 3 days.

Sigh. So for the next few days, I'm gonna have to work my butt off to burn off all that food.
Ran 3km today.

I like Penang =D

Fortunately, there isnt much to pig out on in Singapore especially since I've found a Marutama here. I have fallen in <3 with their half boiled egg.
Hmm, what else is new...

Oh, my birthday is coming up. Despite all I've been saying for the last few months, I think I'm just gona forgo the whole birthday party celebration thing. All this travelling is putting a huge dent in my sock purse.

Hey guys~ It would make me realllllly happy if you'd play board games with me~~
I have Risk, Blockus, Monopoly Deal, Life card game, Cludo card game, and Pictionary. I'd be happy with a poker night too~ Oh, and I wanna go to Sunway Lagoon. And go to Marutama.

I need to start reading again, I can feel my brain rotting amidst all the food and tv I've been watching.

Anyways, I'm gonna go off and sleep now. I'll upload pictures of my Penang trip later on
(if I remember heh)

Nights!

The Little Things

So I stand here, poised to take the title of "World's Biggest Hypocrite"; just centimeters away from that very fine line.

Decisions are a bitch to make.

I have this new philosophy in life where anything that requires a lot of thought is simply not thought about and decisions that need to be made are decided in the simplest way there is, by flip of coin or simply "because I feel like it". and when it comes to peer pressure and what people think, f*** it.
Yeah, I'm having a lot of problem sticking to that right now.

everyone has a stress-coping mechanism. mine is "fight or flight". Where basically, if I cant 'fight', i just turn around, stick my fingers in my ears, clench my eyes and run as far away as a i can.

i miss you right now. i wish you were here because you'd know exactly what to say.
Actually, I know what you'd say but I guess its your support that makes all the difference in the world.

Half of My Heart

Really like this song by John Mayer.

I'm turning 21 and I still cant spell very well...

I was thinking to myself, "I wonder how ____'s date went? Oh, and I was supposed to go play Risk with Alexy and the guys. And when was the last time I talked to ___ and ___?!" I grumbled a little till I remembered it was me who dropped off the grid. Heh.
I got a little preoccupied in my alternate reality and I've been spending less time in this virtual reality. Of course, I'm still Baroness Mousehunter, dedicating myself to stopping the Warmonger and his troops!

I honestly dont know why I bother keeping a blog when most of the things I wanna say are pretty private. I think I will make my blog private la. Beh tahan adi. Its ridiculous.

Lemme see...

Since I last posted:
Got over a phobia. Went for dinner with a friend and his family because I was super hungry and it was steamboat!
Suffered from another phobia. I can take pain but I hate hate hate injections. My mum tried to get me to go for a shot that I have avoided since I was, like, 12. Yea, Manda, you know what shot I'm talking about. I once cried BEFORE i got a shot.
Knocked up the car a couple more times. I'm honestly surprised my dad still lets me drive it much less offers to let me drive his new car.
Gained a new phobia when I drove my mum's harrier through ss15. Big Car. scarehhhh
apparently, i am now talking like my sista. or typing like her anyways
found a really really big baby
made a few new revelations, had an epiphany or two then threw them all into the wind

Oh, my daddy's home and he brought me a present =D ice cold ice. oh yeaaaah.

QOTD
Alex Yeoh: ahh when i see a notification from you on my Facebook i always get worried ....

Now, that really made me laugh. usually, alex and I communicate by sms or msn so whenever i post on his facebook or comment on his stuff, its bound to be something of the nonsensical nature.

I am so bored and tired of being cooped in the house. I'm not feeling well again. Sigh. Though the only upside is that my sister cooked some very delicious spinach and ikan bilis porridge for me. Yays.
Despite the careful tendings, here I am, bedridden. Not able to gorge on potato chips or chocolates. With none of my sweet loving having been delivered. Dont get me started on the bumps and bruises I managed to give myself =_= isnt there a limit to how much a person can hurt oneself?

So anyways, I'm gonna make my blog private.
If you read my blog and your name is not on this list, please lemme know.
Stalker-san
Sharon
Foong
Cynthia
Aisha
Kay, i have no idea who reads my blog. hahaha... so besides the random people who randomly drop by... o_o

I would really like a bag of Mr. Potatoes tomato flavor chips! And some assam laksa. Lamb stew. AHHHHHH!!!! I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT OATS (with rasins) AND NOODLES AND PORRIDGE (and some char siew rice) LATELY

Penang, I cannot wait to see you!
And Singapore, just you wait till I get my hands on some Tony Roma ribs covered in bbq sauce!

i want more ramen noodles.

Statistics suck

I dont really like statistics. Math is one of my favorite subjects but not stats because it usually involves a lot of reading and sometimes, just because the teacher/lecturer phrases the question in a weird way, it gets totally screwed up.
Another reason why I dont like it is because people like to make fake stats.

98% of guys will dump you if
You don't want to give a blow job
You don't like hanging out with his friends 24/7
You are looking for a legitimate relationship, not just sex
You don't look gorgeous every day of every week
Sometimes you're a little dramatic
You refuse to send him slutty pictures of yourself
You get angry when he drinks, smokes, or does drugs
I'm looking for the other 2%


 Really? 98% of guys? I really wonder where this 98% come from. So out of a hundred guys I know, I'm guessing like at most 20-30% of them would be so mean? And that is a high number.

Guys can be assholes with their stupid ways of reasoning and logic but this is so totally bogus la.

Today is Mother's Day ._.
Yesterday, a mother thanked me for flowers her son got me to deliver, thinking I was the one who gave them to her ._. Why she thought I would give her flowers is totally beyond me. Yea, I dropped them off and I arranged them nicely in her room but still ._.
But its so cute to see how happy she was.

Speaking of which, that particular son is question is not replying my sms =(

Woot! I cant wait for the next 3 weeks!! Hahaha... Lots of pampering, torture and running around to be done! =D Going to make a trip up to Penang (when Sharon will be in KL =_= ) and going down to Singapore (when krish will be in Kluang =_= ) and with a little bit of luck and skill, I'll have a big portion of my future settled =)
*excited* this will be the most fun I have had in ages!

I need new running shoes ._.

Too Lost In You

sdStalker-san, dont you think checking my blog twice a day is too much? Even once a day is too much since you probably know what I do every day and I cant possibly have updated my blog if I'm driving all over the place, eh?

This song is nice. *points at post title*

I CAUGHT A WARMONGER MOUSE!  Oh yea~ A feat made all the more sweet by beating Stupid Foong to it. Bwekkkkkkkkkkkk. I wonder if he'll even see this ;p

The last days of April are unraveling as I type. May has arrived so soon! It seems like only last month I was planning my trip back to Malaysia and (I know I've said this countless times) so much has happened. I honestly cant believe a lot of the stuff I got up to the last 6 months.

So work is all the more tiring. It is emotionally draining too on top of being so physically tiring and dreadfully dull. Needless to say, this is a profession I do not want to get into.

*love this song* Like Its Her Birthday - Good Charlotte

I really like Sidewalk Prophets. Their songs are really deep and touching.

Okay, you people who have been pestering me to update. I really dont have much to talk aobut.

No, wait.

Ah. On Thursday I went out with Ain and Farhana for a girls day out. Lol. Actually, we spent a huge chunk of time in Daiso before we went for our movie, Thor.

Hot
So Hot
Still so very very hot
*swoons*  Move over, Penn Badgley, there's a new man for me.
Now, big muscles, long haired, blond hair, blue-eyed guys arent exactly my favorite.
But when Chris was out of that clunky armor and shirtless err, we had a close up of him, I was just so ._. O_O
So. Frigging. Hot. Yes, I officially think he is even hotter than Lee Hom, Enrique and Penn Badgley. So. Frigging. H O T
*sigh* Why dont we have guys like this over here?
I googled "Chris Hemsworth Thor Shirtless"
A picture from the movie
When he was younger
These were the best I could get. I can hear girls all over the world crying.

Seriously, How can girls think Bieber is hot?! 
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
No competition. Seriously.
Chris Hemsworth is 28 this year.

GTG I AM SO LATEEEEE!!
You! *jabs finger* You are driving me crazy. What the heck is going on? *waves arms around furiously* This has turned totally upside down. CHAOS! BLASPHEMY! Dont you ever get tired of doing this?! GO!!! SHOO! YOU'RE SO ANNOYINGGGGGGGG! *cries* I hate you! *sigh* How typical of me to fall into this stupid stooooopid trap AGAIN! I hope you fall into a pot hole *annoyed* I hope a bird shits on your head.
You. Are. So. DUMBBBBBB

An Everyday Hero

I'm gonna talk about my Everyday Hero.

What is an Everyday Hero?

The other day, I was craving for steamboat (thanks to a certain someone) so I called up my 'big brother', Z. He was headed for a swim at the Subang 3K pool and said he would call me when he was done.

So he did call and I told him I'd pick him up from 3K. He told me I could just wait across the main road and he'd cross the pedestrian bridge. Then I left work and headed there.

When I got there, I parked my car by the side of the road, near the pedestrian bridge. I noticed the car in front of me. All four of its passengers were out of the car and they were looking at something further up the road.
I thought, "Hmm, maybe they're waiting for the jam to clear or whatever" but then I noticed ANOTHER car across the inside road I was on was also pulled over and the two passengers in THAT car were peering into the same direction.
"Ok," I thought, "Probably an accident" Not surprising since it was raining so heavily earlier. Maybe a car crash or something. I was tempted to go take a look but in my family we have this thing "Cannot help, dont kepoh so much". So I stayed put and wait for Z.

It was about 5 minutes later and I was starting to get concerned. A crowd had gathered at what I assumed was the accident site and the previously mentioned staring people were starting to walk towards there.

"Shit," I thought. "This isnt any normal accident. Something real bad must have happened." From the looks of it from my far far distance, nothing seemed to be happening. I considered driving up there with my car.
30 seconds into my train of thought, my phone rang. It was Z.
He asked where was I and I told him I was at the pedestrian bridge waiting for him. I asked where was he. He asked if I could see the crowd. I said yes. He said he was there. I asked why he so kepoh wan and started to walk towards the crowd.

Halfway that short walk, I saw him.

This is what happened.

He was outside 3K when this guy asked if he saw the accident happen. He asked what accident. The guy said there was a motorcycle lying on the road but where was the driver?

So he ran across the main road and pulled the driver of the bike to the side of the road while everyone was just staring and cars were just navigating around that man. The bike driver skidded and was thrown off his bike. He had a broken arm and he was unconscious.
When Z was sure the guy would get the help he needed, he left and called me.

This guy right here my everyday hero. I just put an alphabet as his name because I know he wouldn't want me to tell the whole world but I cant do that though I can at least omit his name.
He's one of my closest friends and my 'big brother'. He's just a pillar of strength and a voice of truth not only to me but also to many of his friends.
If you saw him on the streets, you would probably just pass him by but seriously, honestly, he was a heart of pure gold.
He is just such an amazing guy. He's supportive, kind and caring, never failing to give a rhetorical smack in the head when needed.
To me, he is really a big brother figure in my life. He always looks out for me and makes sure I stay safe. He's always encouraging me in everything I do and all the things I hope to do. He encourages me to broaden my horizons, my views and my perspectives as well as my activities and food palette. He's mature yet fun.

So to my big brother, you're my hero =) Thank you.

I also owe him 10 bucks. Heh.

Love in it's purest form

Heart of compassion,
Worn on one's sleeve in plain sight,
It amazes me.

And people wonder why I don't like dogs

Spent a good two hours creating a ventilation trunking make of cardboard, plastic and duct tape. I love duct tape. It is without a doubt, one of life's greatest inventions. The shop behind my aunt's is a petshop and all their stupid wet dog smell was coming over to our side via the ventilation fan. I didn't, block it, no. But sorry, there will be some backflow from my weatherproofing my project. Lol. Ny aunt heard them wondering why it's so smelly on their side. Well, the air here is dog free again. Good thing too. It was getting worst and the smell was making us feel sick. Still feel a bit queasy.

Oh. And I blew off pasar malam yesterday to exercise and then sleep with that wonderful cool rain air blowing in through the window ;) it was a good evening. Though I suspect my sleeping in caused dinner to be severely delayed and altered. Can't say I'm too upset about that though. Heh heh.

The Endddd is Near~

End of April is coming! Wow!~ Cant believe the date to my 21st is drawing so near already. Seems like only yesterday I was whining about turning 19.

Life is hectic now. Remember when I said, "Just let me know a week in advance when you wanna go out!" Well, lets change that to 2 weeks. April came with a new job. A tiring yet very educational job.
A friend commented that I take the most random seeming jobs and always the more tiring ones. Food retail, waitress, barista and now my latest job. Well, its interesting and I like it!
But seriously, its tiring like heck.

Life is a bitch. You have to grab it by the balls and squeeze 'em till you get what you want =)

I cant remember who it was- oh, wait, now i remember,
who told me, "For once, cant you focus on yourself? What you want? Then just go all out for it!"
another who said, "Too much thought and not enough action will just lead to you regretting and blaming life"
and finally, the most recent, "Find something you are passionate about. Find something you can achieve by your own means without the involvement of anyone else."

Three very wise friends who never fail to look past the surface and deep into my heart. You guys are da bomb!

So my biggest dream right now isnt achievable without the involvement of others but who the "others" are makes a world of difference. I am determined to craft my own fate and destiny instead of relying on other people who just keep stringing me along and toy around with me.

Why care about people who dont care, eh? Less effort spent on them and more effort spent on the things that DO matter. Like life.

Arigato to the friends who have been there for me these last two months. It has been a very- trying and emotional time and I'm grateful.
Waffles* are on meeeee when I get my paycheck~

*Offer valid for limited time only. All rights to substitute and exchange offer are reserved and at my discrepancy. 

I just remembered someone owes me for doing his assignment.
Mr. Stalker-san, lets go for ramen and waffles this sunday! =D

GTG WORKKKKK!!!!

PASAR MALAM TODAY!!!

Breaking out from the prison to awesomeness!

My iPhone is at this moment, consuming so much power that even while charging, the battery is slowly draining.
But I dont care =D its the reason why I can still connect to the internet.

So right now, I'm in the middle of downloading more packages for my now jailbroken phone. For quite a while, I resisted jailbreaking my phone because I (mistakenly) thought that all jailbreaking your phone did was let you download apps for free when you'd normally have to pay.
So I thought "hey, no point in jailbreaking then." if you can afford to pay RM3 for a $0.99 app, then why not?

Then a couple of weeks ago, I went for a BBQ at a friend's house where her brother asked me about my phone and didnt it bother me that some people ask to play with your phone only to go snooping around your pictures and messages? Heck yea. Not that I have anything to hide but who likes it when someone goes through your stuff.
But yea, I had no idea how to jailbreak my phone so I thought I could probably live without. Anyways, 98% of the people who ask to see my phone really just wanna play with the games and stuff.

So life went on till I wanted to download YouTube vids straight to my phone. Loading is a hassle and more often than not, goes a little cuckoo.
And then it happened. I have to have a jailbroken phone to do it. Then I discovered how easy it actually is to jailbreak my phone! *clicks on link*
"Shit, version too high to download"
Then I spent a few hours trying to figure out how to downgrade my version. I ended up not being able to use my phone for the night.
Needless to say, I was highly annoyed at myself for upgrading my version when it actually had nothing to offer.
So when I got home from cell, I tried again. The thing about the internet is that when you are insanely specific, sometimes you find your solution.
It was actually so very easy to jailbreak my phone. So easy, a 8 year old could do it.


*jailbroken*
*stares at phone*
now what?

*goes back to the internet*
*googles "what to do with a jailbreak iphone"*
okay, now we're talking.

it is now about 14 hours (plus sleep time) since I jailbroke my phone and it is awesome!
(granted, it went a bit psycho for a chunk of that time but I worked out the kinks)

Installed packages:
Winterboard
~Allows me to install custom themes and make my phone look kickass awesome or super cute
BiteSMS
~More functions re: messages
FolderEnhancer
~Lifts the cap on apps in a folder (now my phone is super uncluttered) and has a multi-move function <3
Locktopus
~Lets me lock any app I want
MxTube
~YouTube downloader!
PdaNet Free Edition
~Turns my phone into a wireless hotspot yo
Poof
~Further decluttering with a hide app option

There are a few others but these are the most awesome.

Okay, I gotta get off my laptop because I reallly need to charge my phone!!!

Saturday, March 26, 2011

So I'm sitting here outside, a whole 45 minutes more till my shift starts wondering how in the world am I to lose the tan if I sit outdoors so much.
So while I'm not indulging on my vanity, I browse my memories.

"I just remembered why I want to be friends with her"
"Why?"
"I don't"

What do you do when someone wasnt very nice to you? After the conversation above took place, I started wondering about my friendships, past and present. Sure, there were good times but some friendships get to a point where they seem stale. Perhaps people change and you're left wondering if that's the kind of person you'd call your friend.

"I'm proud to be your friend."
Someone said that to me recently. Friends are people we care for, share our world with and someone you can turn to when you need a hand, no?
I think friend are people whom you aren't ashamed to be yourself with.

Stop stalking me! =_= Though with a public blog, I cant say much, can I?

Family

What is it like, I wonder sometimes, to go home. Is it like some picturesque family of the year poster? With someone who actually cares if you had a bad day. The boring routines and noisy squabbles that make up a household.
What would it be like to be part of a family that isnt at each others throats all the time, a family that is united and happy despite all its flaws?

...

You know what I hate? Guys who dont respect girls. I hate it when guys say things they cant promise and pledge immature words of eternal love. I hate it when a guy cant respect a girl enough when she says no and is selfish enough to keep his hopes alive at the cost of her happiness when he claims that all he wants to give her. I hate it when life throws two people apart in distance, class, religion, or socially and make it hard for them to be together. I hate that a guy and girl cant be friends without people predicting they'll get together. I hate it when the only person you can depend on leaves or screws it all up. I hate it when you go hang out with someone and suddenly, someone else is there and just ruins it. I hate it when you keep asking someone to hang out but there's always one excuse or another. I hate it when you need someone but that person isnt there. I hate it when you have to give up on your dreams because of one thing or another that calls for you to be selfless or reasonable or realistic. I hate it when people try to break my faith in someone or in my country and its people and leaders. I hate it when I wake up in the middle of the night and cant go back to sleep. I hate it when people start talking about things that just make me feel so lost and confused like pursuing dreams or family ties like that saying, "blood is thicker than water". I hate it when people talk like I'm not there. I hate it when people pursue their desires, not even their dreams, and making other people suffer and they just dont give a damn. I hate it when parents dont listen. I hate arguing with my sisters or my friends. I hate that sinking feeling that im not going to amount to anything. I hate it when people say things like "poor pets" when there's news of some flood or earthquake because hello, what about the people, damn it? I hate it when someone feels completely lost and I have no idea what to say. I hate having to keep my distance. I hate having to hide how I feel. I hate that you wont accept how I feel and get over it. I hate that I check my phone too many times. I hate that I look in the mirror and always see something I wish would change. I hate lying awake at night because of nightmares from the past. I hate getting an sms from someone pretending to care. I hate it when they just do what is convenient for them without consideration. I hate it when they pretend to know me just because they've known me for close to 21 years. And I hate feeling this way.

The Fine Line

I'm sorting through my iTunes and (finally) deleting off songs which I dont even really like

2000 more songs to go! I had to pause it because it was distracting and how am I supposed to be typing out a post when I'm belting out the best of the 90's.


Ah. So...



Good news! I am recovering ~(^o^)~

As expected, my body was too heaty as such, my temperature was yoyo-ing and i had a helmet of headache.

*stops to hydrate self*


Yesterday was a day of pain.

1. Woke up with a splitting headache to the splitting sound of my alarm

2. Woke up still with a headache to the sound of my ringtone.

3. Looked at phone to discover Aisha is calling.

4. Had to bicker with family why I can go to church and not tim sum when I'm sick. Tim Sum? really?

5. Got to church to discover I dont know where Bible Study is

6. Am 1 hour late for Bible Study

7. *1 hour later* Had to admit to Brother Philip that I didnt go for Bible Study because I couldnt wake up.

8. Had to drive in heat and headache to Subang and back to Klang and then back to Subang.

9. Went for Chinese torture treatment which involves those harmless looking cup things that sucker onto my back and being scraped with some stone-antler-thingie. It was so painful, I could not even speak. Finished up with a almost as painful head, arm and leg massage. Cost? RM50. I know how to teach my kids a lesson when they fall sick

10. Then, had to down a glass of black liquid so bitter- there is no comparison. It is a bitter as artificial sugar is sweet x 2.

11. Drove back to Klang.


Haha. But I'm fine today and my headache is almost completely gone. I bet its many thanks to the bitter drink too.


So what I really came here to talk about is what happened yesterday between 11-1pm.

Pastor Henry had all us youth come down to the main hall to share a message with us and this is what I got from it.

He talked about how the bible is the book of facts then highlighted the passages and scriptures that told us "The world is round" and "the world is suspended". It isnt flat or resting on pillars or the shoulders of Atlas (a Greek god, or was it demigod, who was punished by Hera, if i recall correctly, and made to carry the world on his shoulders for all eternity or at least till he could trick someone into doing it.)

He talked about how in the traceable history of all the religions of the world, they all believe that the world is F L A T.

Hundreds of years before the brilliant scientists of their generation came up with the illuminating fact that the world is round. it is suspended in space or that it orbits the sun (the Catholic Church eventually offered an apology stating they were wrong) it was written there in that book called The Bible, yo.

But of that service, what really got to me was this one line "You can be very religious without being Godly"

For a short moment, it confused me. Then I realized what it meant.

It was like those priests who condemned Jesus and denied him. They were religious. Probably the most religious in those times. But what they lacked was that close and intimate relationship with God. If you were a priest in those days who had a close and intimate relationship with God, I bet He would have told you, "Hey, listen. I'm sending my only son down from heaven so just do what ya gotta do, aight?"

Look at John the Baptist. When Jesus came to him to be baptized, John said that it was Jesus who should be baptizing John. John knew the truth.

What was the difference between these men of God? I bet it has to do with their relationship with God.

One thing that is stressed very often in Church is that "God is not looking for obedient servants but for worthy sons and daughters"

We have been left a legacy, yo!

I'm here because there is something I CANT say. Why cant I say? Several things O_O and its driving me crazy.

Do me a favor, guys. Take a hint.

Of Couple Tees and Emo Love Songs

Sam: There's a stupid couple wearing stupid couple tees
Ridz: Why? You dont like couple tees?
Sam: No, I do. I just dont have a stupid couple tee to wear with anyone
Ridz: I could buy one and post it to you and we could wear it at the same time
Sam: Thats so lame =_=
Ridz: Yeah. Stop talking to me when you're driving

Oh. Best Quote Of The Day (With English translations!)
Shazwan (guy from work): Sam, jaga kedai ah. Kalau terbakar, panggil bomba Sam, look after the shop yea. If there's a fire, call the firemen
Sam: Ok. Kalau kena rompak? Ok. If there's a robbery?
Shazwan: Buat tak tau. Be oblivious

Yesterday, while we attempted to discover the 'perfect soundtrack', Ridz commented on Taylor Swift's songs which are mostly emo love songs.
We all know emo love songs sell the best and they are perfect for blasting while you angst-ly karaoke in your room, pretending like you're in your own personal music video because that guy/girl
~doesnt know you exist (Invisible - D-side)
~keeps messing with your heart (Issues - The Saturdays)
~broke your heart (Forever and Always - Taylor Swift)
~is in love with someone else (Teardrops on My Guitar - Taylor Swift)
~doesnt feel the same way about you (He's Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon)
~is someone you cant be with (Someday we'll know - Mandy Moore)
~is someone you normally wouldnt choose (Hate that I Love You - Rihanna)
~might be the love of your life (Is it you - Cassie)
~cheated on you but you cant forget him/her (Why do I love you - Westlife)
~is really far way (A thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton)
~is irresistible (Irresistible - The Corrs) LoL

Well, these are just some examples la. But you get what I mean.

Take a second and think which song is the soundtrack to your life right now?

I really wish my room had better reception.

I realized I seem to have this love theme going on lately.

Sam: If I could, I would travel back in time to when I was 16 and beat myself up for complaining guys dont fall for me. Then I would travel to when I was 19 and beat myself up. 'Nuff said.
