Salivation without the i. The first i.

WARNING: Not for the straightforwarded and feint-hearted ones. Excessively lenghty blog post ahead. May contain boredom pheromones. Continue scrolling at your own risk. What a way to welcome the james-bond-duality year (two-double-OH-seven) with a bird's eye view of the fireworks, abandoned apartments style. For pictures of the magnificent display, please visit Encik Jomi's website (shucks free advertising again. sigh.). Anyways, it has been really two months of labour and toil.. as along with the other fellow A-Levels people of HELP, i have endured, experienced and finally enjoyed after all of it. I guess the taste of freedom can be related to blogging. You spend like ages working on ONE post (cuz I doubt everyone updates everyday), and the satisfaction is just awesome. Tastes just as good as Klang Bak Kut Teh except better =)

Anyways, this is long overdue. It must be the current trend I guess, Jomi's ineedtostopoverduebloggingsyndrome. Here you go! Cheezlangkawishuffle!

CheezLangkawiShuffle - Day 1

Mm. Flight time was sometime in the afternoon. Bloody delayed it with another hour of patience. Gah.
My relatives from Kenyang (HUNGaRY) XP Laugh la.. even though not funny. Anyway, left to right : Uncle John, Auntie Kwi Ching, Priscilla and Little Timmy! (Timothy)
They've made this langkawi trip one to really remember. Oh yeah, btw my cousin sister Priscilla, she's.. Form 2 this year if converted to Malaysian schools, buttt... her syllabus is somewhere in between SPM and A-Levels.. that's like darn smart for a 14 year old. *hats off* Anyway Timmy is just.. Timmy! Loves to sing. He's always singing Stellar Kart's Activate.. Screamo edition. Yah he loves to scream/sing too. Bright future in the emo world son.. Auntie Kwi Ching has just been such a blessing.. her faith is like this fountain overflowing.. and it just amazes me and reminds me of how great God is =) Uncle John's not too different either.. they live such Christ-orientated lives. Life's always so easy going and filled with joy, bearing in mind that He'll settle and overcome all of it!


This is Timmy. Timmy loves to play games. Timmy is playing bounce right now on his daddy's handphone. Least he found a way to kill his free time. Current price of chivas : 55.00 per bottle 18 yr old. So away from LCC KLIA and helooo langkawi!


Lodging provided by : Berjaya Beach and Spa Resort Langkawi. Facilities are relatively okay but they cost like 300 a night. And the price increases as the distance to the beach decreases.Therefore, the price is inversely proportional to the distance of the beach. Plotting a $ x 1/d graph.Kesan pokok hijau. Green tree effect. Oh surprisingly there were monkeys near the chalets we were living in. Didn't get pics of them though, you see I'm still rather slow with the camera. Didn't do much on the first day.. but the next day was not so much bumming. Lots of travelling. Wait till you see our ride..

Cheezlangkawishuffle - Day 2

Still down with sore throat and all.. Might I introduce you to the most economical breakfast yet!
So who's the younger one? XP Just so you know I suffer from an anti-aging-syndrome thanks to baby fat =) I thank God for our ride.. you'd do the same too after sitting in one of these..I present the Nissan.. Serena! Right? Serena right? Sorry my memory for comfort cars are not much as compared to those sleek cars out there. So we had to go a distance of like from Bandar Utama to... almost Port Dickson I think. Ya that's how far you'd have to travel if you live in Berjaya cuz Kuah Town's like the other side of the earth.. ARGH. I'm sorry to those looking forward to an organised post. I'll have to continue with another post cuz blogger won't allow me to write, post pics RIGHT where i want it to be, and write again. Keep an eye on the next post..

Retrospective.

Stolen title from ntv7's 11 pm programme coming on tonight. Retrospective 2006.

Anyway. not much time left. off to dinner soon so this post should be quick. i hope.




7th post-millenium year has led to probably to most unexpected turning points in my life.
I'll do as of chu xiang's blog... stolen again! >=)

364 days ago till today I've..
learnt how easily I'm influenced as well as my influencial-ity
screwed my college work like never before
became a teacher for half a year in a daycare centre
felt the shackles of a worker's life
started cursing again but curbing slowly
found out about William's
found out that it's all about the MSG
felt the happiness of flying solo
attended 4 raves.. wait was it..? r4.. tiesto.. speedzone.. no 3..
clubbed for the 1st time in my life - james' bday @ ruums-ohmsessions-baxx
found joy in a dance besides shuffling
learnt how to foos
regretted about the other 365 days that have passed me
neglected my bedtime
screwed up my appetite
written songs that are beginning to be acceptable
realised college is not cheap
began to love drinking (not excessively)
seen lots of breathtaking seaviews that people would kill for
realised my guitaring has not improved one bit
started to serve God in a ministry
regretted upon my a-levels external
felt no difference upon entering adulthood
began to backslide... (working back on it with Him =])
celebrated Christmas before the day itself in a church for the 1st time ever
been to a prom that's not of my school
slow danced with a girl
sung to the top of my lungs till it sounds like a girl's voice
sat off a BLUDDY HIGH WATERSLIDE IN A'FAMOSA- no joke. 1st time ever.
tasted the wonder of satay celup
lost my freedom for the past few days and more to come till exams are over.
learnt that God is ever so faithful!
of course, STARTED MY BLOG!

most importantly, i'd definitely say i learnt a lot this year and there will definitely be more to come. 06 may not have been the best year, but it was definitely great enough for my 18th. Thank you Father =). there would've been more cuz im darn sure my list aint that small.. its just the time factor. dinner is ringing but this has been a great year for me. now quickly. this list below might be incomplete. but its the new year's mission *quote Ernest*. not resolutions. too few pixels baby.

Tomorrow onwards I...
want to foos better
know God personally better and stick like glue~~
wanna reunite with my friends
wanna know how to dance better =)
wanna own an LG chocolate vx 8500~~
want to play in a band as well =)

God blesS~

HILLSONGS UNITED LIVE @ SIB KL!

As promised. Tonight. We come before His throne with one sole purpose. It is the assembly of young souls heeding His calling. Tonight we are one, as we lift our praises and worship Him with the fullest of all our hearts. HILLSONGS UNITED LIVE SOUTH-EAST ASIA TOUR - MALAYSIA @ SIB KL!

24/11/06 - A night to remember. SIB KL was the place to be. It was only 7:15 p.m. as I was still in search of parking. We got lost in the midst of doing so. That Eastin Hotel area was pretty misleading. Eventually found our way which led to this insane neverending fleet of stairs. It was a biological traffic jam with several walks of life - kids, teens, adults, infants too! The pictures should tell the story of the massive SIB KL. As for United Live, *quotes* No video or audio recording is allowed during the worship service. darn. so you should get the picture - no band pics. no videos of their songs. just us and God.

Hillsong United Live 2006 Tickets!

Told you no audio or video recording during the service right..

Massive.

It was all over then..

Denise! and.. yun there! in the background on his phone!

Denise again =.= finally my pic =P

Sleek CLK parked behind my hot waja

That was it for their trip down to Malaysia this time as it was for ours this time to SIB KL. They promised a bigger and better encounter. We're praying for it. It was an impacting experience. Joel Houston : "We're just regular people playing music." One night. One purpose. One God. All glory to God!

PS: Like to give a shoutout to my lovely Canon Powershot A430.. couldn't have all these without you. Oh and the lead guitarist that night was Tim.. or something like that.. chatted with him but my senses were failing me.. resulted in communication breakdown.

will be back.

out.

Victim of tag.

Er honestly. I'm not too good at this whole blogging thing. I can't be sure that after being tagged by jon, will someone that I tag, continue to tag another person? Well screw the possibilities, let's get it on with the tag. Oh I can't help but to share a little on REVEL4TION!


28th October 06, A'Famosa Beach Resort - It was the fastest and furiousEST ride ever. We were on the cheez-joseph-sickcycle-720-convertible-iGallop-elantra. No joke. This baby goes up to XXX km/h (disclosed due to parental guidance). Upon leaving KL at 11, the Northern Lights of Revel4tion in A'Famosa could be seen 10 minutes before 12. It was a blast. Baxx. Soul-T. VS!. What more could I ask for? A time extension for the rave. Everyone else wanted it too. It ended at ONE. WHAT KIND OF RAVE ENDS AT ONE TELL ME?! Pfft. Ridiculous. Seriously. Anyhooz. Thanks you bobs out there who entertained me, joseph and james. Really appreciate your mentality and goofness with your UltimateToys lightsabers.. (the video will be up soon for those who wanna know what's going on..). Long story short, chivased, nasikandared, slept, wokeup, kenasamaned, dulaned, chickenriceballed, dulaned, trafficjamed, most importantly, enjoyed. =) Thanks joseph, james and lim =)


BACK TO THE TAG. Sorry about that. Yes. The two of my WORST bad habits.



IRRESPONSIBILITY.

Seriously. Not kidding. This year alone, I've had so many broken promises. What happened to all the nights where I was supposed to go to Riley's with my friends? What about that letter you owe Elisa? And your homework?

These are just a few examples. Now for the inner-self-conflict.

Time to do homework! *sits at the study table*
Mmmh.. I feel a calling.. just a little while.. college homework not much oso..
Yeah.. just awhile.. *HANDS ON THE COMPUTER ALREADY*

2 hours later... tired... zzz
What happened to your work??
Tomorole..
Wei! No tomoro la! Forgot your A-Levels EXTERNAL EXAM RESULTS?
Yesla ma... I rememberla.. this term very easy wan.. sure can..

The truth is. I'm nowhere further than where I left. I have to kick this. Right now there are so many things. FFXII. Raves. Tuesday's Halloween party. There, I did it again. Whatabout that party you agreed to perform for your a-levels? This lackadaisical attitude is eating me. I need to build up a consumption-resistant-skin.. or this might just be the end of the beginning.. of the end.


Oh. Just realised. Self-confidence deficiency.


This is for real. It's not the kind of self-confidence that I don't have within myself, at least I'm proud to be who I am. It's just that.. when I am caught along with some friends who are currently in an argument with someone else, I'm just a bystander. Witness my conscience.

Situation is, james checked into a hotel. he arrived by cab. James and Lim sorry. Me n Joseph came later with a car and parked outside the hotel, which DID NOT OWN THE CAR PARK (which we were not informed of till the next day). slept, 9 am rise n shine.

cheez : hmm.. theres a piece of sumtin on jo's car.. nvm la.. probably some flyer.

this flyer turned out to be a rm30 saman for NOT PUTTING YOUR PARKING TICKET, ON A SUNDAY! this might be normal for you guys, but for tourists.. don't you think it's a little harsh? so we tried negotiating with the uncle pondok who collects MBMB saman pays.. but no use, his rasuah face overwhelmed the theories of law and righteousness. To appeal for a discounted saman, we needed to go to the main office, TOMORO! wtf? WE HAVE A LIFE YOU MALACCAN. Instead, he insisted we ask of the hotel manager to settle our saman. Not the wisest statement.

Friends : We got samaned outside your hotel. Tried to settle with uncle, but 30 is a hefty sum for us, and to appeal could only be done tomoro, otherwise we had to mail it sometime later (troublesome sial =.=). SO he suggested that you help us settle this because he is only a collector..
Lackadaisical Receptionist : (he's a bob btw) Erh.. well you checked in by cab right?
James n Lim : *nods*
LR : Then how I know that you have another friend coming with his car?
Cheez : Look here pal. It was your fault in the first place for not asking if he HAD a car. In a business where customer satisfaction reigns supreme, enquiring the customer to ensure everything is settled should be a priority. You didn't even CONSIDER to take the initiative to ask James IF he has another friend with a car, or at least, IF he will park a car (since you know of the strict parking violations).
Friends : *looks at the idiot with a dulan face*
Lim : can i please speak with your manager?

*The whole scene repeats itself* Note : I did not voice out upon the first debate with the cb receptionist, but rather a weaker version of my italicized phrase (for some reason, which is my inability to boost self-confidence) against the manager.

Still rather disappointed at this hotel - Seri Costa or sumtin liddat. Do me a favour and blacklist it. Anyways, this is just an example of my helplessness. Many other debates have had me bystanding, as well as having my arms folded. Sometimes, we have to do what is right, and fight for the just as well as the law. - Law of Ueki? lol.. anyways, I really wish these two habits could just die.

No pics. But I TAG! THE TWO WORST HABITS YOU HAVE.

SUBANG DRIFT

This really caught my eye one day.. I totally love it man! Kudos to S8, Kai you've got marvellous friends man! Be sure to watch part 1 which is right under this, then part 2 aite? Cheers~

Reminisce.

It's been about a few weeks since I thought of where I was 1 year back, 2 years back, 3 years.. but when I looked at my brother playing with my ancient playtoy.. it projected a reflection of the past, when I was still in primary school. The times where life was filled with freedom, happiness, love and joy.

I saw myself again at the tuition centre. Alan, Kok Joo, Huey, Jie Wei... the list would go on.. but my memory bank is currently overdrafting. We'd eat and drink and laugh during class.. regardless of whatever the teacher was teaching. This.. playtoy, which *quotes Chee Hong* is something to be proud of, knitted some of my friendship bonds as well as our relationship as siblings very closely.

The Nintendo GAMEBOY! Owh my gosh I could've sworn this was like the foosball, the DOTA, the paintball, the manga and the crocs of our primary school times! Thanks for holding it up Chee Hong.. you can put it down now.. And how many of us were stuck on to...

Pokemon RED! Best-est game ever! I remember my save file being overwritten by jie wei's new one... ARGHHH MY CHARIZARD T.T NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

This brings back lots of good times and great memories. Specially dedicated to -H- =). You're never alone even if you're overseas mate. Take care!

Life.on.Shuffle

Yes I shuffle but what this is all about is randomness. Most people do this with an iPod shuffle... but unfortunate people like me can use Windows Media Player instead! *Quotes Isa* : NO CHEATING!


Describe yourself.
"Magic" - Wooo! Zeus!

How has the past 17 years been for you?
"Old Newspaper" - yeah I keep the memories and just can't seem to let go..

What's going on in your mind lately?
"Sick Cycle Carousel" - even my media player knows my mind is screwd!

What has been a great influence to you?
"Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying" - life. i guess..

I am currently...
"Lost Myself In The Way To Close Your Eyes" - SERIOUSLY. NOT CHEATING. this is a trance song by Benjamin Bates... blame my 2gig trance k.

I want someone who is...
"Scandalous" - =P sometimes maybe >.^

I can't stand people who are...
"Parking Lot" - YALA waddaheck... give me pressure when i parking...

What is better to do than to blog now?
"Wherever You Will Go" - follow.. somebody? yer. dam stalkerla.

My blog is all about...
"The Future!" - w00~ now I'm a fortune teller babehhhh (trance song by Silver Liquid)

10 years from now, I might be...
"Silhouettes" - still hanging onto my body?

Shuffling is...
"Time to Come Home" - yess momm... sigh.. only happens at clubs/raves..

Foosball is...
"Silence" - yep. the anticipation of a pullshot. (DJ Tiesto Remix)

I LOVE...
"Wonderwall" - oh yesss i love tat song so much >.<

What's your best pick-up line? *Quote Jomi*
"Hollaback Girl" - Er...? B-A-N-A-N-A-S..

Where did you put my wallet? *Jomi again* (dam random.)
"All Because" - SEE! RANDOM SUMMORELA!

What do you do when you see your ex pass by? *Jomi too.* (wahseh personal sial..)
"The Truth" - ...

IF I could turn back time, I would...
"Summer" - everybody loves summer! but Malaysia no difference.

When you're at the movies, and the couple behind you is making obscene noises, you turn around and say... *Jomi =)* (Here goes!)
"One" - ONE MORE CHANCE! LAST CHANCE K! =P

What are ure prefrences on girls? *Sam asks*
"Solitaire" - =P Answers your question? =)

Your favourite food at 12 midnight *Jomi*
"Tian Tang" - it means heaven by the way. Williams taste a bit like heavenly food =)

What did the beggar do to the rich white man who didn't spare him some change? *Jomi*
"Hardcore Vibes" - Ouch...

For the people out there who read this, I'd like to say...
"Black Balloon" - ... well.. it's one of my few favourites?

How bout YOUR life on shuffle?

- red and black -

Tribute.

As of the end of September, and with the urge of Mr.Jomi-sama.. I pushed myself to write something.. as a monthly song (or acoustic cover). 2-3 hours later after the chat with Jomi.. I got it nailed down. Not too good.. but something I can definitely improve on. However, the purpose of the song is actually a tribute to the terror strikes of September. God bless the souls of the victims. The lyrics are as below.

September's When I Sleep Again (Take It Away)
This is all
Desolate
These our lives
you put to waste

I'm awake yet I
I just can't see
All the fear and pain
Cuz blood has covered me

Do you hear us cry?
Do you care at all?
Do they realise that everything
has happened before?

Stop all the world now
and you will see
(Take it away) x 3
Consume yourself with
all your greed to realise it

The fall of the earth
Falls on you
Like a flame
that burns itself up too

You could end this now
and take it all away
Wake me up when this ends -
September's when I sleep again

(Take it away) x 3

All of the killing
the bloodshed and tears
(Take it away) x 3
O human being,
you despise your own race...

Chorus x 2

Take it away...

Physics test at 1400 hrs - 14/9/06.

Once again I'm striving to focus and gather all my energy to give it all onto my revision. This has probably been the 8436512350093625279490561th time that I attempted to do so and probably failed.

SO. I decided to ask my dad. He's an engineer (why not? Physics A - engineers' pre-requisite) but then my 2nd thoughts clouded my thoughts. *hmm.. what if I get another cheong-hei n winded speech winded like genting highlands liddat..* Nevertheless it was do or die, so 'erm.. '

*Father doesn't even need any sense to know I'm down to ask a question*

"So. Lemme see. What question.." *scans through paper*

'pa wanted to ask you ah..' "which one?" '.. about angular force..'

*Hesitated conversation evolves into our usual debate*
- the debate just comes naturally upon disagreement cuz I just wanna get over with my question and move on, whereas pa always wants to depart more knowledge over to me.. regardless of the question and sometimes regardless of time consumption..

Anyway, fast forward to where I learnt something. I solved my physics questions with his help of course =) got everything done. Then, while I was studying, he came back and started... not paraphrasing but rather emphasizing on the importance of understanding physics.. and the benefits of getting a good lecturer.. and more philosophies..

Through his eyes (as well as his facial expressions), I saw such enthusiasm, passion and the interest as he allows his insight and past experiences to overflow. Sometimes we tend to neglect certain people, be it our family, our relatives, even our friends. Taking things for granted will cause us to be taken for granted as well I believe. I conclude - through the eyes of one, we can see the distinguishable uniqueness of one that could remain a part of our memory.

Thanks pa. =)

Now as of today, a memorable day to all of us. I dedicate part of my post to the dearly loved and popular, late crocodile hunter, Mr. Steve Irwin, from Australia.
I shall not say much as I did not know him well.. as well as the other fans of his programmes do.. but.. as a token of gratitude and respect to the big contribution he has made to the wildlife world.. *salute*.

God bless your soul, sir.

Fireworks!!

Hey Elisa thanks for calling. I really appreciate it. It has certainly been so long since I heard from you and I'm really sorry that I made you kena from that boarding lady.. Just for you, I thought I'd post up.. a song I wrote recently.. I'll try to even include the download for it soon enough but... just some lyrics... and you might know.. what I've been through during this merdeka..


Fireworks and Fallen Hearts.

We are all one tonight..
We are all out tonight..
Lying here on the rooftops waiting for,
A moment of an end & a new beginning..

And where we are, is
nowhere near,
where we have been.
The lights & sounds, you
might have heard,
we all have seen
these fireworks go up,
as fallen hearts breakdown..

These lights are rising,
into the air, they're
burning and
soon disappear to
nothing left but memories of
you and me
the times when we held each
other so closely
will never be the
same like it used to, be as these
fireworks rise up,
as these hearts breakdown.

I wish I could be right there again
to see those fireworks with you...


Yeah.. that's bout it la. Thanks again for calling. Would love to hear from you again =)

www.blogger.com

Have you ever wondered if ever what's written in someone's blog is true or not?

The time and effort spent on this blank canvas.

Is it really worth it?

Sure it does. People come to my blog and have a great time wandering through the posts. It's a great feeling you know?

I know. I wish I did.

It doesn't really matter what's in here. But I just thought I'd bring up an issue.. that could be everyone's personal problem. Would love to thank Jack for enlightening me. Your blog.

Anyway.

Have you lied today?

No.

Have you lied yesterday?

Erm. No.

How about the day before? A week ago?

I don't recall.. Probably not..?

Here's the deal. I know of a friend. Even before we were born to live and tell tales, he was born to die. Why would a friend die just like that?

Hesitation is not a reason.

Not a reason at all.

Catharsis - "
elimination of a complex by bringing it to consciousness and affording it expression".

In English, it means the breaking down of a complicated matter, by allowing the person affected by the matter to relive the feelings of fear/trauma which caused the complication in order to recover.

I so need it.

It was on your nick so long ago. Too long. Too dumb of me not to notice. Hesistance took me once again. So indecisive to even send you a message... sigh..

See you soon. It's 58 mins left till we celebrate you. Happy birthday. =)

IF I SAY I WANT TO DOESN'T MEAN I'M GOING TO.
