To your health, Malaysia! Cheers!

PHMMMPHT!!!!!

*takes a deep breath*

PHHHMMMMMPPPHHHTTTT!!!! PHHHMMMMMPPHHHTTTTT!!!!!!!!

*takes another deep breath*

PHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPHHHHHHTTTTTT!!!!

*SNORKS*

PPPPHHHHMMMMPPPHHTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Huuuarrrrggghhhhh...... *pooit!*

sigh...

Pretty sums up what I've gone through for the past few days... No dam can hold up such amount of load, that carries such huge momentum that it is best to just open the dam to reduce further damages. Worse thing is that the load can just replenish in such a short moment, ready to attack the dam again...

Oh yeah... selamat menyambut hari kemerdekaan ke-49!!

Malaysia's always Malaysia.. keep it that way...

20 Years I Have Lived

20 years I have lived
There are so many things I have seen
Yet many more I'm still intrigued
The childlike attitude is still inside of me
Free from cares and worries
Free from responsibilities
I'm carefree...

20 years I have lived
There are so many things I have seen
Yet many more I'm still amazed
The inquisitive mind begins working
Learn about how things work
Learn what responsibilities are
I'm learning...

20 years I have lived
There are so many things I have seen
Yet many more I'm still confused
The mind itself is playing a fool
Love and not being loved
Found myself being used as well
I'm depressed...

20 years I have lived
There are so many things I have seen
Yet many more that I have not
The world is ever changing
Present is what we can achieve
Future is the achievement of the present
I'm content...

20 years I have lived
I have become a carefree person
Learning is a neverending process
Despite being once depressed
I'm content with the way life is going
For now......

The beginning of mid-term break which lasts for one week! *jubilates in joy!!*

Wings of a Butterfly

I just got this song from one of the Uniten mate through DC++, and honestly I have no idea how I got hooked up by this song. The lyrics is kinda catchy, makes it worth listening over and over again. And it feels good to play on the guitar too ; )

Another great song by HIM. I think I'm getting more obsessed with this love metal band. You guys can have a go for this band. Anyway, here's the lyrics for this song:

Heaven ablaze in your eyes
We're standing still in time
The blood on our hands is the wine
We offer as sacrifice

Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul

This endless mercy mile
We're crawling side by side
With hell freezing over in our eyes
Gods kneel before our crime

Come on and show them your love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul, my love
Rip out the wings of a butterfly
For your soul

Oh, if anyone of you can enlighten me the hidden meaning behind the term "wings of a butterfly", I'm glad to hear from you all.

And for once, Shin almost pitam while going through basketball drills under the hot sun. =.=

The Break In

I know how you are feeling now...
You are thinking that you've made a fool out of me...
As you walk down the corridor...
The usual routine... just walking...
Then, you realise, that a window is not properly closed...
You realise too that no one's around...
You climbed into the window...
And there it is, lay perfectly in front of your eyes...
Not the computer, nor the guitar...
In the unzipped pouch, there are cash inside...
A whole load of em, enough to feed yourself a month...
You whisk it away, before I return...
Making me a hell lot poorer than ever before...

If ever I get my hands on you...
Goodness knows what's gonna happen on you...
Had you better show up and beg for forgiveness...
Then I may reduce the punishment due on you...
Your action is something I loathed...
And it's not just worth that amount of money you took...
You pay for your crimes...
Wait for my wrath... whoever you are...
And pray that you are attached to someone else...
So that she knows your true colour...
Unattached is OK too...
So you don't have to pretend like a good guy in front of her...

My hands are so itchy that I can literally tear you apart...

Test is Back

I'm now suffering from post-test syndrome. Literally owned by Thermodynamics. I'm unsure of my answers, whether they are going to give me the grades, or they are gonna make me the most pathetic person in the world. It's a make or break situation. And I don't like it.

Whilst waiting for the next upcoming tests that involve Dynamics and Circuits, allow me to drown my Post-Thermo Syndrome with Domino's Pizza, some guitar strumming and nonetheless more DotA sessions. My spirit hit ground zero, as I have to see that the domino's pizza meal has to be cancelled, because it is closed... It's 10pm liao by the way, so have to make do with the hawker stalls nearby. ~.~

My ankle has yet to recover fully, due to the fact that I received a full momentum of a slide tackle while playing football on the field. It's been 3 weeks already since that memorable event, and there's a niggling pain on the ankle still. It's a major concern for me, especially in later years when I start walking with tongkat. That's not a sight I want to conjure up even now, I don't wanna walk with a tongkat!!!

Might not come back to Klang this week, gotta revise for the upcoming tests...

Provided that I can revise la that is! But give face abit la! ok?? oK??

Minor updates

A reminder to self :

Never take the train after 7pm, especially from Serdang. Oh, there's no big incident yet where the bold robbers are roaming around hunting down victims with a knife all in the name of $$$$ and glory to themselves. No. It's more personal than those unfortunate incidents that have happened elsewhere in Malaysia.

There's no leng luis in the train!!!!!!

Instead, it's filled up with huan na's and more huan na's.. Beh tahan!!

How to pass time la at this rate?? Dah la balik seorang aje kalau ikut keretapi! Bagilah sikit sumber entertainment! Jgn biar saya hilang konsentrasi dan miss KL Sentral ma!

Tests are coming up in these few weeks. So do not expect much from this blog, go read something else that's capable of killing time won't ya? And is it just me, or the Streamyx is fucking up again?? No matter, should you guys think that I'm not blogging as often as I should, then blame it on Streamyx. Needless to say, pushing the blame aside is what we all do best... Human's best trait.

Time is precious, I must get on with my studies now. Cannot play play dy. Must pray pray more!!

I'm thinking of getting a haircut. Any suggestion fellas?

Debugging Buggers

We have to close down your port because the system says that your port is hosting worm.

*In chorus*

What???

What kinda explanation is that to give to 2 representatives of the 5, who were suffering from internet-deprived-syndrome for 2 days, as well as disconnection from the outside world, away from news, updates, informations, and the most important thing of all : FRIENDS!

My total loss of revenue can no longer be recovered until the problem is properly rectified by the administrator. So at the moment, bear with the very very slow updates and a missing member in your MSN contact list.

Life in Uniten took a huge turn : The long awaited DotA tournament has arrived! Although it was made in such a small scale, it is to get feedbacks from the local students who are too bored enough to stay inside the room with nothing else better to do except facing the monitor with their left hand fingers positioning at various shorcut keys, and with right hand clicking furiously on both mouse buttons, yelling some instructions across the room in hopes of letting their own teammate to hear them!

Full of emotion, full of commmitment, requires lots of teamwork and strategy...

Yes, this is DotA tournament, and it shall begin...

eh wait.. already began on Monday la~~~

Wish me luck!!!

Wicked Game

Wicked Game - HIM (cover song for Chris Isaak)

The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd need somebody like you

*chorus*
No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
this world is always gonna break your heart..
with you

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you

*chorus*

The world was on fire, no-one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
No and I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'll never dream that I lose somebody like you, no

Now I wanna fall in love
This world is always gonna break your heart
Now I wanna fall in lust
This world is always gonna break your heart..with you

And nobody loves no-one

*****

Listening to this song makes me ponder of my life, my love life.

Sadly, there's no one in particular, yet.

My past relationship still haunts me. The fear of rejection is something I can never forget.

Something that's not suppose to go wrong, went wrong.

Where things are beyond expectations, had exceed your imagination.

My trust is betrayed, loyalties severed.

For 3 years it has gone by, still the memory remains.

She's my first love, who could forget theirs as well? But it hurts.

To my fellow friends who have found their own halves, I'm glad that you guys have made it.

As for me, I will keep on searching for the missing key, that would unlock and set me free.

Maybe I have yet to find my true love, or maybe I'm just too picky.

Or is there true love left on this forsaken world??

And yet, true love never dies...... It just need to be revived again...

Hectic

A small spot dedicated to one of my best pals throughout my life..... FANG CHIN!

Happy belated 20th b'day to you man!! 12th July... Paiseh ada sedikit lewat liao!. Ya I know I'm still older than you but I can't help but make you feel older. Though that doesn't seem to work most of the time but what the heck, the bugging is worth the trouble! >.<

So much so for advertising on my blogspace here... kacau!

Back to my current state, with my oh-so-beautiful-campus life taking the centre stage. (as usual).

I've been assigned to do homeworks of 3 different subjects. Mind you. Homeworks!!! It's been almost 3 years since I last heard of this term, especially in University level! With Dynamics, Thermodynamics and Circuits on this semester's timetable, you can't help but think, would there be any work to do in the first place?? Having this in mind, you are in deep shit! Cos I did. And I AM IN DEEP SHIT NOW!! Rarely I have touch the textbook itself unless it's for reference purposes, and the same goes to the exercises provided inside the book itself. Yes I'm THAT lazy! My usual routine involves DotA, Diablo2 and Gunbound. (Yes, this time a gunbound server has been set up.. hooray to my already packed playing schedule) So, it's highly unusual for me to do the exercises as required by the lecturers and to hand them in during tutorial classes. Handing in the homework... It seems that I'm brought back to secondary school times once again!!

For once after so many years, I have no choice but to spend my time doing exercises from the textbook. Thus, I have no choice but to spend some $$$ on the textbooks, and they aren't cheap either!! 2nd-hand books are hard to find, and they differ in book editions. There's a small booth that sells 2nd-hand textbooks. Checked out for Circuits Textbook and it's 70 bucks with fair condition. Later I went to the bookstore only to find out that the new Circuits Textbook is actually 72 bucks only. $$$$ suckers those 2nd-hand book sellers. And they are getting alot of customers, which is the weird thing!! Blardy hell! They should be sent to the abyss for their dark deeds!!!

On a side note to everyone, never try taking KTM from 5pm to 7pm. If you dont' believe, you can always give it a shot. You'll get what I mean. :)

Homework's due next Tuesday, gotta start reducing the burden throughout the weekends...

Homework I hate thee!!!! @#$#%!@#$

2nd Year, 1st Sem 06/07

Finally!! I'm a sophomore! I have gone through thick and thin to get out of first year! Now I shall continue my perilous journey and obtain what I'm here for! A 60 grand worth of degree certificate!

Just to let you guys know, the above is my current semester's timetable. Pretty neat eh?

And what's with that X mark on Tuesday??

Just to let you guys know. The secret of abusing the Uniten's system in order to obtain the classes you want to enter.

Situation's like this: I want to enter the class same with my friend, but his section 5B is full. So I have to enter 5A, which still has vacancy, but it clashes with other subject. Section 5A and 5B is under the same lecturer, the only difference is that both have tutorial classes at different time. So, my plan is to join into 5A, have my tutorial class clash with other subject, and then appeal to the lecturer to allow me enter 5B's tutorial class.

So far so good everyone?

Through the geniuses Alwin and Tai Soon, we use the URL which registers a subject into the timetable, and change the subject code to the one I want. *When one clicks the URL, the subject will be added right away* So, the system would not notice that the subject I registered would clash with other subjects I have registered earlier. It's some kind of a bug, but a very friendly bug!

Friday don't have class again! Haha! I feel so free!!

Haven't seen much foudation students yet. New intake students are here to test themselves in survival of the fittest. Best man / woman will get the best tasty Malay food or Indian food. Heard from others that there are more chinese girls for this intake, so everyone's expecting some eye candies finally roam the Uniten foodcourt during breaks. :)

A whole new semester, a new beginning once again! Hope I don't screw this one up like last year's!!

Cameron Highlands

It has been 2 years since the last time I set foot on Cameron Highlands. There were plans where Fang Chin and Co. were heading further north towards Penang on the very same day. But the Cameron Highlands trip was booked way earlier. Though the food in Penang is always appealing to my stomach, but family comes first. Paiseh.

And of course, Malaysia had some notorious weather for the past few weeks.

Just to give u a picture how Malaysia's weather is now! Pic taken a year ago while on the way to Kuantan

Malaysia now is as though being the conventional microwave oven! One doesn't have to think about going all the way to a beach side clad in bikini or hawaiian pants and get yourself tanned there. Alternatively, you can just lie down at the frontyard topless and enjoy the sunlight breeze. Minus the sightseeing. For girls though, don't do anything indecent to find yourself uploaded in the youtube.com website. Heh.

As though God had a will to fumble with Malaysia's thermostat, upon reaching Cameron Highlands, the whole family were expecting cool, refreshing breeze, cloudy skies and a slight covering from the clouds floating around.

Did I asked too much from Him??

I certainly didn't think so! It was raining as we ascend the newly built highway. Oh raining is normal in Cameron Highlands but certainly not if it's raining for like 6 hours non-stop??! Already deprived of entertainment, the weather sure has enjoyed keeping us confided in our apartments! And it rained for two days!

The apartment where the chill still penetrates in. Wait a minute, is that a TV??

Yes! A TV!! Came all the way from Klang just to watch TV! Brilliant idea. Masterfully done! TV without Astro = no TV. Fortunately, this one HAS Astro. Once you get Astro = Live broadcast of the World Cup 2006. At least I'm not THAT bored for now!

Night time is a blessing for us. As the rain finally stopped and we got our arses out of the apartment and went for a stroll at the Brinchang pasar malam. Bought lots of vegetables and mushrooms for the night time's steamboat. YES! LOTS OF VEGETABLES! And of course, strawberries!

For the sake of camaraderie, and this one looks frightfully sour.

If eating at Cameron Highlands doesn't involve vegetables, I would honestly say that one is going into a big fasting mood. After all, vegetables are good for you aren't they??

Hint: There are certain people whom I know that doesn't appreciate vegetables as much as I do. :)

On the third day, the weather has switched once again. From the blistering cold to the usual Cameron Highlands sunshiny morning as we stroll around Kea Farm to get MORE VEGETABLES AND STRAWBERRIES to enjoy them back in Klang.

Blardy hell! Where did all these people come from?!

Traffic congestions are a norm especially here in Kea Farm. Further enquiries revealed that Singapore had holidays so there were many of them out there seeking bargains and had better skills than the Malaysians. Heh I wonder why. Nevertheless, we were there to relax so I rest my case here.

Yes, It is HOT there! Thus the ice-cream. And I'm obsessed with Orange!

After all the groceries and relaxing at the apartment, we checked out and head towards home! To face Klang's grueling heat this soon, I would rather stay on in Cameron Highlands. Financially and timing however, did not permit to do so. Some other time, perhaps eh? With friends the next time? Not a problem for me!

Family Pic.

From left : Sis, Mum, Dad, Me, Bro. Flanked by tong sampah.

Gosh. It's 6 in the morning already. Guess I should just get a shut-eye and join my bro for bakuteh at 9.

Finally with pics, shin reporting in from home.

Bah Kut Teh bash

It was on Monday afternoon last week. All was peaceful as ever (except the blardy freaking hot weather!) As I got up and did my usual chores, and then.. a phone rang in.

YO! Is your house number 69??
Yeap!
Ok!

Then, I looked out the window.. and saw 2 cars...

They have arrived...
They HAVE ARRIVED...
THEY HAVE ARRIVED ALL THE WAY FROM KL!!!
... to taste Klang's bah kut teh!!

The 4 VIPs(Eyrique, Alwin, Yi Jun and Tai Soon <- Melaka Boy) had planned to come down to Klang in this blistering sunny day to taste the ever famed Klang Bah Kut Teh. So the Klang representitives comprised of Chin Yao, Kok Siang, Beng Siong and I would do the honour of introducing them to the Klang's famed Bah Kut Teh to reward the curious ones.

Trouble is... I don't even know which shop sells the best bah kut teh in Klang!! :(

Indeed, Klang is considered quite a big town in my humble opinion, especially when it comes to bringing them around to a suitable shop that sells good bah kut teh! There are many around in Klang of course. It would be easier if it's in the morning since bah kut teh is eaten in the morning as a norm. But to bring them around for bah kut teh at night...... Well.. you be the judge.

After pondering a few hours on where to eat Klang's bah kut teh, though the time was instead well spent on a nearby cybercafe, and practically got owned by the non-klang players! :( We've decided to bring them to Pandamaran area. Indeed finding bah kut teh stall at night is much tougher, since I don't particularly eat bah kut teh at night, thus have little idea on which stall sells good bah kut teh in the night hours. After much searching, we finally ended up at a bah kut teh stall in front of Pandamaran B school. And yeah... this shop got the nods of approval by all of us, indeed it serves good bah kut teh. Big serving portion and good soup, though the meat is all scrap punya, no proper parts such as chia ba , sueh ki kut, goh hui or kah wan.

Just an additional information for you readers. The main differences between Klang Bah Kut Teh and Outside Klang Bah Kut Teh are... in Klang, one gets a plate of rice and eats with fork and spoon but others such as in KL, you eat with chopstick and served with a bowl of rice. Then, in Klang, you get a claypot with huge chunks of meat which needs to be cut and separated, especially the fat! :p While others, mostly the meat is san zham ba or the 3 layered meat.

The VIPs felt very satisfied with the meal... and at the same time... we celebrated Beng Siong's birthday in that shop itself. The lao ban was kind and generous enough to even give Beng Siong an Angpow. Hrrm.. should be the first time he witnessed an happy event held in his territory kua! :)

A great visit by my Uniten Pals who came all the way from KL! At least I'm well entertained on that day itself! Staying inside the house the whole day is not a good routine!! I should be spending more time going out.. But I need transportation!!

Let's hope I can get a car out of this! *heh*

PJ half marathon

*Popeye Ringtone*

"Hello? "
"HALOO! Sudah bangun belum..??"
"Hrrmm..? Oh shit.. 4.50 liao.. ok ok I get ready now!!"

*beep*

Waking up at a freaking 4.50am just to get ready and go for a jog?? This is so not me!
But paying 10 bucks to join a Half Marathon and accompanied by the likes of Hong Yang, Fang Chin and Kar Chun.. Then it's a totally different case.

Awaken by Hong Yang only to realise that I'm already 20 minutes late from the time planned to leave the house. The event begins at 6.40am but we don't wanna risk getting ourselves lost and have any delays on the way there. Plus, we have Hong Yang's friend to fetch in Taylor's college and registering ourselves at the counter prior to the event.

The PJ Half Marathon was held in Kelana Jaya Stadium, to mark PJ as a new city in the face of Malaysia! This is the first time I have participated in a marathon race. So I'm beaming with excitement, despite the fact that I only slept for 2 hours, tengok bola la.. wat to do...

For some reason, there's a slight nagging voice inside my head... if i remembered correctly it goes like this :

"For someone who walks 1 km and would start complaining about hot weather and being tired... and now you are going for a 10km jog??! lu siao ah?!"

Indeed, jogging in the morning is way different than what one experiences in the evening. The air is fresher, though it gets more polluted as the morning traffic gets under way. One has to wake up early to jog, so we don't seem to waste the whole morning like I usually do every morning. Since it's some sort of a competition, I get to see people of various age groups who compete in this race. There are seniors at their 50's and yet they ran as though they were in their younger days. And of course the main group comprises of teenagers like us and certainly a few eye-candies *ahem!* who can definitely run. As well as youngsters around 12 years of age who were competing in the shorter distance race.

We managed to finish the freaking 10km route in an hour's time. Despite our best efforts, we couldn't finish in time to receive the certificate of distinction. It was certainly an impossible feat for us, consider that we are not those pro-marathon runners and we hardly even jog as our daily exercise, plus the certs will only be given to the first 50 for the category we've participated. Even so, I do feel proud to be able to finish the course with minimal rest. It seems to me that Livita does help in boosting energy although the taste is abit too medicine-like, as though you are drinking some cough syrup.

After a whole morning of hardwork and energy spending, we rewarded ourselves with a good meal of Bah Kut Teh! There we met Jenni, Quek's loupo. God knows why Quek doesn't want to join us for breakfast... hrrm... And of course... an afternoon course of good sleep~!

A great day well spent.... and for once, it begins in the morning instead of the usual noon! But guess that just happens once in a blue moon!

Hols Week 1

The first week of hols is always the outcome of one's lifestyle in upcoming holidays. I sincerely hope mine won't happen that way. At least enrich my life with more unexpected activities that turn me on and get me going. The further I stay away from my bed the better. Unfortunately at the moment it's just not working.

Well, most of the time was spent waking up when the sun rises right above on my head where the shadow is the shortest of all time... Getting married to the comp is not a bad idea cos I'm upholding the responsibility to be a commited husband. Urrghh.. Facing the comp one whole day, taking breaks in between. INILAH COMMITMENT my friends! 100% honesty. Learn from here lovebirds! >.<

Then there's World Cup fever. Everyone's going out to mamak stalls to catch the action on the big screen by means of projector. It's good business to the shops, which obviously brings in more profit than ever before. It's easy for those who suffer lack of customers to rectify the problem : Get a freaking projector. Then you will have customers dropping by, sit down and be part of the football community. Simple yet effective, small investment that brings big returns, now this is great marketing strategy.

Prior to the World Cup, most of my friends (no I wasn't involved) are betting through bookies. With hopes of small investment that brings in big returns, the plan seems to work very well especially for Hong Yang and Co. It all started very well, and things go according to plan.. Until the dreaded match between Ghana and Czech Republic. Being the favourites, everyone sided Czech, since they have convincingly demolished USA in the previous matches, and Ghana seems to be the weaker side as they have lost to Italy. But, fortune favors the bold, indeed Ghana fought bravely, and won deservingly. That promptly put a stop on our betting sessions. It's a good experience though for everyone around, as cries of joy erupt when the supported team emerged triumph after going through thick and thin. Their emotions are well expressed. Priceless.

Await for another episode of mine: PJ half marathon. I'm too tired to tell the tale now. KO first.

In holiday mood

Ahhh... holiday is all I'm thinking now. Best enjoyed if one has just gone through hell during exam. The first thing I thought of as I handed in my very last paper to the invigilator...

FREEDOM~~!!!

Went to Port Dickson immediately after the exam with Uni pals. 15 of us went there for 2 days filled with many enjoyable moments and laughter. From tossing one after another into the "famed crystal clear" seawater to riding on water scooter and even the banana boat. Honestly speaking this is the first time I ride on a banana boat. It was thoroughly enjoying as one speeds away on a banana boat while enjoying the breeze blowing on to your skin which is stressed up by the exam itself, and being tumbled down by the speed boat that is pulling the banana boat as it gave a sudden turn, creating enough inertia to send us away from the boat and into the sea. Unfortunately, things ain't turned out that good in my case. The speedboat was too big and the motor wasn't powerful enough to accelerate the whole boat and of course, with the banana boat itself. As the speedboat swerved, so did the banana boat, but only slightly, which is why the occupants including me still manage to hang on to the banana boat itself. After several tries, the effort was still in vain, until we ourselves decided to jump off at the next swerve. Quite entertaining, but 10 bucks each for one fall is certainly not worth it, as others who got into other banana boat, had 6 falls and yet paid the same price. Blardy bloodsuckers.

As the World Cup has begun, all of us crammed into one room and watch the opening match. Germany vs Costa Rica. I had a bet with Alwin that Germany and Costa Rica would draw, but he insisted on Germany to win the match. So we bet on a Limau Ais. Arrrgghhh.. Germany go score that wonder goal for what!! Now I owe him one limau ais dy~~ >.<

Aside that, we got a huge scare when Alwin's hamster managed to escape out of its own cage right before the check-out time! Fortunately it was found hiding under the bed. No one knew how it managed to climb out of its own cage. A real mystery. Hrrm.

I'll be having a 3 weeks holiday right after the Port Dickson trip. I guess that I'll spend most of my time sitting in front of TV watching most of the matches Live. Hopefully I won't lose another Limau Ais this time! My guess is that Brazil would retain the title again, but I will be on the look out for Italy and Holland. I'm never in favour of the England, despite how they described them as one of the best squads in their history. Bah, look how boring they played against Paraguay. Such disgrace!

I'll give them another Quarter-final booting at the hands of... Argentina! >.<

Religion and me

Yeah... I was suppose to blog this earlier. But laziness has eaten my soul up. Even tempted me to quit blogging... until today!

So let's talk about Da Vinci Code. Shall we?

Please do take note that whatever I put up here next maybe controversial in some perspective, but I do hope that the readers won't take it too seriously while commenting on my personal point of views. Well, the answer is simple, because it's just a person's point of view. I have no intention in putting some radical thoughts, creating some havoc in other people's life. I am just passing through alright?

Ok... let us begin!

The movie Da Vinci Code is a good show in my opinion, and for someone who has not read the book itself! I know I know, I should read first before watching it. But that would leave me a greater expectation from the show you see? For example: Those who've read LOTR books, and when you watch the movie, you would think: Why these parts come out and the book is not written so? Why elves appear in Helm's Deep for aid?? And why Helm's Deep is such a big feat while in the book, it's not a big deal after all. Fortunately, the movie is still great overall. But you will still feel that it can be better with additional details from the book. But that would mean sitting in front of the screen for at least another hour, whilst we've been complaining for sitting out too long even though it's just the first series : The Fellowship of the Ring.

Anyway, back to Da Vinci Code. The movie is good. The mystery is solved by means of using Da Vinci's work of arts and of course a few clues which involves Christianity. It is very interesting to see them working around with the clues found, and in the end solved the mystery as well. And of course, a happy ending for the good guys, and to hell to those who have done the evil deeds.

Speaking of evil deeds, the Silas in this movie is portrayed at doing things at his God's bidding despite breaking some rules already made by men themselves. Self punishment to share the sufferings by Jesus Christ while being nailed on the cross shows a great deal of devotion to God, though somewhat ghastly to me. And yet you go killing other mortals to protect the religion is something hard to accept. Devotion to God is one thing, but killing for the sake of religion, is totally another thing. Of course he is more likely being used by the higher authority, but a man himself should be able to distinguish between right and wrong. Unfortunately he didn't.

I admit that what the Vaticans and the Pope are discouraging the Christians from watching the show for fear that some information in this movie may affect the viewers' faith on Christianity. I myself do not know which fact that is misleading or misused for the movie's purposes, but I suppose that since the movie is being claimed as a fiction altogether, so there's no harm done if one wants to watch the show for enjoyment! Furthermore, to those who already have faith in Christians in the first place, I doubt that their faith will wither no matter how one tries to mislead them. Now, that's the real power of faith!

Until now, I've never let religion to affect my lifestyle. I'm not saying that religion is a bad thing. They teach us to be a better human on earth, resist temptation and have faith on yourself. It is a good discipline to me and I dont' mind learning them if given the chane. But there are certain issues that raises eyebrows when concerned with religion. The best example would be the 9/11 attack. For years Islam and Christians have not got along since the middle ages. Great battles have come and gone, and one of them was The Crusades in Jerusalem. Go read over it for more details. Gruesome killing if you ask me.

Overall, religion is a good thing. They teach you to be a better person on earth. Though there are those who are too radical in their own respective religion until they make public enemies to other people. When we cast aside our differences, what's the most common thing you can find?

No More Nights, No More Pain - Episode 126

This is just another one of those filler episodes...so do not expect much from this episode.

I've just awaken from my beautiful slumber which began at 4pm. A blissful 3 and half hours without much interruption is very refreshing. Not even the ever favourite sport basketball can drag me away from my bed this time, nor the urges from my housemates to join the game! Goodness me! I could have taken the 'Best Pig Award' title for this new effort. Don't worry, I shall work hard for it.

I am entering the last 2 weeks of this special semester. Usually when it comes to the end of semester, greater things shall arise in the form of deadline submission, quizzes and of course, the mighty Finals Exams! During this time, I won't be in Klang until the finals is over. Which also means I'm gonna miss my family, friends (bleh.. I sound so dramatic here) back there. Of course, no bah kut teh for 3 weeks is quite a pain to my stomach. Need to seek out other alternative dishes to compensate for that. Hopefully, more chinese food can be found within Uniten area at a better price rate. Or even better, someone bah kut teh cook will come over to Uniten and open a bah kut teh stall! Now that's what I call heaven~~

I've been hooked up to some oldies songs which I've rummaged through my hard disk for quite some time. I can't even imagine that I have John Denver, the Beattles, and the ever famed ABBA!! Yet oldie songs still provide soothing effects compared to what I've been listening to all these while.

Goodness.. it's almost 9... I better take my bath now and then study. Quiz tomorrow... Bah.. stress is starting to creep into my life once again. How many stresses does it take to make one feel old?

Shin reporting Live from Uniten once again.

Fragile

My humblest apologies, I don't find the show Fragile that good nor impressive enough to scare the hell out of you till you pee in the pants in fright. It's just another plain old POTONG STIM type of horror show that you would be glad to save that money on something else much worthwhile such as MI3. Disappointed... Totally disappointed.

On that Wednesday itself when we watched the movie, Mark, Alwin, Ang, Adelynn and I had our dinner at Dominoe's Pizza. Since Alwin had a Gold card that gives a another large pizza for free with any order of a large pizza. We had a brief discussion, 2 pizzas are too little, 3 is ideal but will get a 1 free pizza, so it shall be 4, which is quite alot... Apart from that, we have only half an hour's time to finish the pizzas before the show begins... Can finish or not??

So we took the gamble, and ordered 4 pizzas altogether!! And whacked them all into our stomachs we did, though it took quite some valiant effort to push the pizzas into our stomach within that period of time. Adelynn managed to bantai 4 slices of pizza, and the rest of the guys have to take in 7 slices each! Quite a major feat for me actually since I've never tried taking in so much in one go in such short time! My mouth ached after the dinner, never chew for so long in my entire life! Had difficulty walking up into the cinema after that. Having such large burden in my stomach... -.-"

While in Uniten, there's an on going basketball 5 on 5 tournament which began on Monday. I've joined the competition along with my usual teammates. So far we've won one and lost one. Tomorrow's game is the deciding one to determine whether we would advance into semi-final or getting eliminated. So best of luck to my team. Heh.

On the bad side of things, the Uniten server administrator thinks it's enough for us students to have full day internet access. So they have pulled the cable and put us back to square one : Online only from 5pm onwards till 7am the next day. Drat, this would make us become obsolete once again!!! And it takes off the reason for me to ponteng class and enjoy surfing the net!!

Alright, enough for now, one whole day's energy is spent needlessly on the basketball court. I seem to be getting darker with each passing day. Fortunately, many thanks to my Lou Po who gave me the aloe vera cream, I no longer suffered from dry skin that peeled off last week!

To the world of tanning once again~ Shin reporting live from UNITEN!

Begin every sentence with the word...

- I got 2 assignments pending till the end of this short semester.

- I got an open book test now for Malaysian Studies and it's due on Tuesday.

- I got a test on Tuesday for Manufacturing Processes.

- I am wickedly broke.

Haih... I guess I shouldn't spend too much in a week's time. 100 bucks per week is considered a pain in the ass right? I should start tracking my own expenses to find out which part of my life has been spending too much, which I hope is not on food supplies!! I am so not gonna spend my money on some cheaper and economical food that doesn't fulfill its purpose : FILL UP MY EMPTY STOMACH!

I should avoid any sunlight for now. The sunburn effects is totally hard to bear for me this time. Maybe I should have just continue to play under the sun instead of hiding in the shades after my high school years. Look what good has it done to me? I can no longer stand the sun as long as before, I've become fairer if compared to last time and yet still darker than most of the people I know. And yet, a day under the sun playing handball till 11am has turned me back to square one : OH LANG KI GOR!

Bah, I rest my case. I shall play under the sun from now onwards! Sun provides Vitamin D after all right? So it's healthy! XD

2nd week ends...

...And the third week shall arise...

With tests and projects continue to dominate Special Sem, I still find the time to have some fun albeit a little bit too much, as usual!

Basketball is always my daily dose of stress management activity in Uniten apart from occasional afternoon naps as well as the hourly (if possible) DotA sessions. But now, another sport has been added into my list for a better stress management : Futsal!

An invitation by the senior students, we abandon our Tuesday Basketball sessions and focus on this new activity. We go all the way to Sri Petaling's Endah Parade just to play this intensive sport. 2 hours of non-stop action leaves a great satisfaction feeling inside of me. 3 hours after the game leaves my leg feeling tensed and wobbly. The next morning I shall have all the reason I need to skip class! :p Thanks to these senior friends of mine, my life in Uniten has become more eventful!

Back in Klang, there's a handball league going on and I'm chosen to play for the team peraliph along with my fellow handball teammates during secondary school. Peraliph is a team name formed by the team captain, a businessman who's experienced in handball. So don't ask me what kind of name that is. The league is open to Selangor, so it's quite a high level competition in my opinion. And this is the very first time I play handball indoors. So I was quite lost in space when I played for few minutes, and maybe that's the reason why I don't get to play at all in second half! We lost the game in the end despite leading the scoresheet at half time. But I feel that the team could have done better in second half.

So with these sports occupy my free time, I'm a busy man! But the test is coming nearer. What the heck! Enjoy first lah!
