Just You Wait...

Suspense.


That's Jared with the loudhailer impersonating Henry Seeley doing the "There's nothing better" line for "Always & Forever" He became so famous because of that. (I know its hard to see..but stay with me okay?)


Could you believe the one on the most left is Aunty Karen with a mischevious grin? Hahaha...she's a great sport.


Rachael (in white) is messing up one of the drama teams' drama cause they were overtime...you just had to be there to see her in action...and Jared...


Daniel Yap, you ruin the picture...4 cutesy kids and you had to be the thorn....shoo! :)


This is ENOCH! (middle guy) This post is not about him...but he is such an affectionate character in "The SHOE"...after that, one of the small kids took his flip flops off to play around, thought it was cool since all the big ko ko and jie jie were playing with it...weird.

Stay tune for clearer and nicely edited pics...about Sound Generation Camp...and what will I say to Liew Kang Yuen...(Did I spell it correctly? :P)

Lazy Me

Now that new year is coming, I'm getting pretty lazy now. SIgh...and I still have not done my website yet...sorry guys...don't think will be up on the 1st of January...maybe I will try my best to launch it before Chinese New Year.

Christmas, come and go. This year...I kept turning my head, looking around...looking for somebody...I want a surprise but I didn't get it. If I believe in Santa, I would have regretted not writing him a letter...

Dear Santa,
I wish...oh bother, you SHOULD know what I wish for.

Not much surprises this year. Maybe I'm growing older. Maybe I'm growing meaner and grumpier like an old maid...that's why I have become quite forgettable...sometimes lerr...well, I still remember myself, and God still remembers me, that's a nice thought.

I miss mornings.

I think the first thing I will miss about school is the 5 a.m. quiet time I used to wake up and spend with God...I loved those times. I miss mornings because the air is fresher, and more quieter...unlike late night, it doesn't have a heavy smoky smell about it...it's fresh, like during the night, all creation (minus us human) will sort of get alive and walk around...reminds me of dryads in Narnia's Prince Caspian.

I still remember breathing the fresh air, listening to bugs and nothing else...there, I can hear nature, I can hear heaven...peaceful...though only for a while.

I should. I should run to Fraser's or Cameron's and just sit by a chair outside the rooms and just be still...sometimes, I do wish that I can be still. Too many things going on, too many hustle and bustle...I feel sick and tired of the noise. I WANT SILENCE! But not the dead silence...I want the serene silence. Bugs can still play their symphony, but other than that, no contamination from our meddling hands.

Sometimes I feel as if I am Miss Desperate. I wish for a surpise but none came to me. I just wish...just wish that I don't need to like that somebody...but I just can't stop thinking about him...really frustrating. Sigh...I need activity! Get my mind off him...but it's still hard isn't it? How not to be desperately waiting leh??? Sigh...I want to see him, talk to him, but I couldn't let myself do the talking. Sigh...silly me.

:)

Domino's Still The Best!

To tell you the truth, comparing Pizza Hut and Domino's, in terms of service, Domino's win hands down. I just ordered pizza from them, good grief, they were so FRIENDLY!

Pizza Hut, no offence, but you people must learn to be phone-friendly and please...next time, give la serviette and stuff like that...Domino's telephone operators or whatever you call them were so clear in their diction...great job Dom!

Camp is over, and it was great! But I will talk about camp later, when I get my pictures...muahahaha...Dong, ask your bro to burn a copy of all the camp pics for me please? :) Thanks!

Then, I will have a post specifically dedicated to Enoch Liew. So, Enoch, if you ever drop in, do remember to come back for the post specifically dedicated to you yah? :) Not now lah...maybe during new year. 2006...cause still need to take pics with him...ahahaha...

Spirit Blog

I have a new blog.

www.rantingku.blogspot.com

I always wanted to have a new blog that just focus on the spiritual journey I'm on. I won't always update it, cause even though I AM having holidays, holidays won't last. But there is where I will share my thoughts on the journey back home.

Enjoy.

Saying Goodbye

What to do if you have to let go?

Will you lose if you choose to let go? Or the opposite?

The media pressures everyone to be involved in a relationship, but truly, is this what everybody wants?

Whatever happened to waiting? Whatever happened to friends and family?

When your girlfriends get boyfriends, are you suppose to get jealous? Do you get pressured to put a cardboard in front of you and say:

"SINGLE AND AVAILABLE. DESPERATE TOO. NEED A GUY WHO LOOKS LIKE BRAD PITT"

It sure looks weird, doesn't it?

The media expects us to always have a guy or a girl holding our hand or doing whatever couples do on TV.

Do we really do that?

Why are we expected?

It's always love story. Love story. One after another. If there is a guy, there must be a girl who has a love fling for him...or vice versa.

Not that I have anything to do against love stories. I love to watch them, though I can get quite sick of what they are showing after a while. The cliche is too boring.

Enoch said something profound when I "argued" with him about cliche remarks. He said, "Have you ever heard a guy saying to a girl 'I love you'? It might sound very cliche but if it's true, then it is the truth."

But love...suddenly it has become quite a cliche. No longer a phenomenon. People don't think the word love as eternal or unconditional or sacrificial...or do they?

How bad would it hurt to see someone you wish to see but you could not? Or someone you wish to speak to but you could not? To tell someone "I miss you, I love you" but you could not? It gets stuck in your throat everytime you pick up the phone and you just stop trying...It hurts. I know it hurts. You try to reach out but your hand could never touch...

Sometimes, we just have to let go. The irony is, when you let go, you get what you yearn for. But we are always so stubborn, holding fast to what is precious.

Choose properly. Choices do matter.

As for me, I choose to...

let go..

and let God.

Quiet Mornings

The sun comes out tomorrow
Drown all my loneliness and sorrow...

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away
Now they look as if they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday...

Okay, so maybe I'm losing my voice...

Wake up in the early morning...now...I woke up only at 10...hahaha...but anywayz...at least I still can open my eyes after a 2.30 a.m. sleep.

I have an operation and empire to dilaksanakan, but problem is I still don't get my lazy self to do what I want. Carissa, DOng & CP! Better remind me to stay up...

Wanted to catch up with Carissa and Chia Pei but they seemed so silent and I really don't know if I should kacau them...hehehehe...anyway, I can't go out today cause I've got to cook lunch and dinner. Pah...

I woke up this morning realising today was the 6th of December and that school was having Nostalgia Night (kinda like a reunion thing...I know...after what a few weeks?!) but it was too late to call my dad and ask if I can go for this thing in school which I don't have transport anyway and which if I do go, people will start pestering me for their school magazine. Might as well I stay at home and watch "The Nanny". Liz is suppose to supply me with DVDs...that girl always so forgetful...humbug.

I still have to think of what to do for Christmas and camp. Aiks...I am already losing my voice. How leh? Cannot sing like a frog in camp you know...must buy lots of Strepsils.

Oh, btw. those who want their magazines...

Kean Sheng, Swee Leng, Sherry, Vishnu, May Ping - Get from Siu Fai after this Saturday
Wen Chung, Seow Hui, Hui Jean - Get from Wen Chung after this Saturday

Sorrylah...but even if I have transport the mags are all in my car which is not in the house now which is with my sister in somewhere...so kinda tough cause she's working.

Irk Me

I always don't like being irked.

Thankfully I still can bear my anger...cause if I blow...God knows what will happen...

So when I just wake up in the morning, my friends, don't consider irking me...cause I don't have enough sugar in the morning.

Anger kills you. I know.

Dreams dreams dreams....

Hate 'em with a passion sometimes.


+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

Pre-Site and LOTR

I changed my template cause I kinda got a little sick of circles....besides, I need something plainer so I wont get sick of my new skin...

:)

It takes a long while to clean up my room...its still taking a long while...whoever say that post-mortem STPM clean up is a breeze must have never studied.

I'm still trying to contact Brian to ask his help in designing my site...I have already something in plan, thanks to Karen Cheng for her brillant sketch book ideas. But mine won't be a sketchbook...its slightly different. But you won't see it till later...much later.

To people from 6AS who reads my blog...erm...your school magazines are with me...since I won't be a nice chauffeur or truck driver to send them to your house, please do come for Nostalgia Night so I can throw give the book to you.

It is indeed very odd for people who have nothing to do after exams. Uncle Jit had questioned me what was my plans...I was thinking, "Should I tell him about the operation or the empire?" To flatter myself, I said, "I'm building an empire." Uncle Jit and Kevin were quite speechless for a while...maybe they think I read and watch too much Lord Of The Rings.

I know...its kinda odd to be into LOTR when its like ancient history liao...but heck, who cares when I finish STPM, I could just sit down and be mesmerised while watching the extended editions of all three...



And fine, Sherry...Aragorn is charming...but Legolas still is cool...cause like Li Qin said...sweaty, dirty men...*guffaw



Besides, another cool fantasy film is coming up: Chronicles of Narnia (whoever say that the book is a piece of crap, that's just because they lost their nice sense of childhoodness...we need to retain some sometimes...can't always be too adult.)

Oh, and I heard that the game really is a terrible game.

And guess what? Barbie makers made a LOTR toy...romantic couple between Arwen-Barbie and Ken-Aragorn.

Barbie looks nice though. Ken looks more like Faramir.

I Wish...

Dear diary,
I wish that he would at least stop being so busy and talk to me! Am I just being paranoid or what? But I do wish, oh I do wish for something to happen...cause I really miss hearing his voice.

*Gasp! Is that me???

Haha...no. It isn't. So people like Sherry can just sigh and kick dirt...cause really...I can't be that desperate....can I???

Gee...

But what if I AM desperate??

Sherry would get so shocked...Li Qin would run back and forth from the front gate to the back gate like how she would have done today!

Dong would just laugh and say...wait...what would she say??

Haha...had a nice time bonding with Dong...i knew she just woke up when I called. No wonder it took her so long to the door...

She said that when Chia Pei and David arrive, I will be as happy as anything...hmm...will I?? Why would I be so happy then??

Intimidated I am...Plans I have a lot...

Yay....my empire and operation is starting soon! Hopefully tomorrow? I have to clear all my blue tacks on the wall...gosh...it could be an unsightly sight!

This so lame joke I figured...
A cheese sandwich was going up the stage to give his speech. By pure accident, he fell and the cheese flew out of him. That's why they say that he seems to have lost his cheesiness in his speech.

Hey, not my fault if its lame or funny or idiotically nuts.

At least, I get to watch LOTR full scale...and my dear dear Pride & Prejudice...NO>...not the Keira Knightley though I wouldn't mind watching...its the dearest Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth....he still fit Mr.Darcy the best!

If only all men are like Chris...(some character in some book)...oh well...can't expect men to be always....oops...I forgot this is a public site...


+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

Going. Going. Gone!

Today is my favorite day.

I finished my STPM could you believe??

Here I was moaning moaning moaning about how slow it comes

And then in a brink of two weeks...I'm finished with STPM!

I don't care if I did a mistake for Chemistry 2....it doesn't matter...

Too late anyway.

Wanted to say a lot a lot a lot of things..but got carried away..

Now I don't know what to say.

Will be back.


+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

I KNow i KNOW

I know I shouldn't be blogging, but I can't help but blog.

So...a quick one:

I'm scared of STPM...very very scared. Li Qin can tell you that I am very scared.

Though I hate Korean soap operas nowadays (but i still like lovers in paris!) , I still adore their songs..even though I have not a single idea what are they singing...except for some....

I realised that Stairway to Heaven a bit like Ungu Violet...no, I'm serious. Except that Ungu Violet is an Indo movie...etc...

Sorta in a Malay song frenzie now...listen to Padi's Menanti Sebuah Jawaban...I'm serious, that's the spelling...Ungu Violet's theme song...so nice...

Maybe I should just take vocal lessons and jump into Malaysian Idol...at least I know I won't be like that KL Chinese boy who sang Guang Liang's "Tong Hua" out of melody...gosh..nightmare.

December gonna be busy month. Yupz..planned already what to do...backpacking in Hong Kong, luggage-ing to Genting, getting my eyes more tired out than before....yeah....I should be coming out a very satisfied person...my search to be myself...maybe I should take that trip to Hong Kong after all.


+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

Farewell Meanwell

Due to my grotesque habit of coming online and "connect oneself with the Internet"... it isn't healthy to be spending so much time of things that seem trivial now. Yes, unfortunately, I must study hard to get As for my STPM to enter into a good uni to do a good course that I want to do...or at least I hope to do.

So I should try to not update this fair blog anymore until the day speaketh of itself...

Here goes...

I realised that my leaders might be reading this site...what would they say if they saw Tik?? Hahaha...so embarassing...

And oh and oh...I musn't waste my time...tsk tsk tsk...

17/11 - Chemistry 1 (multiple choice) 2.00-3.45 pm
21/11 - Chemistry 2 (structure and essay) 8.00-10.30 am

Dreadful dreadful...but time must come where STPM must come though I will dread it...sigh....scary scary...

So I must take this time to apologise to all...thank you my faithful readers and encourager...you have made me very glad indeed. Perhaps I might blog before I start to release my stress...I do not know. I will be grateful that if you will pray for me in this area of...

1. Health - pray that I won't get sick....to fall sick to STPM isn't a cup of tea you know!

2. Discipline & Concentration - pray that I will maintain all integrity and willpower and sanity to work hard and work smart...

3. Good memory - Yeah...we all need it for exams...right?

So so anyway...yeah...would really appreciate you guys n gals who will pray for me...love ya lots...haahhaha...

Okay, back to some more interesting stuff...

Oh yeah....for those to come back in Spring...I mean January...I will have a surprise packed for you!

Just You Wait!

I feel like stepping unto the stairway like Eliza Doolittle and look back menancingling at STPM...

Just you wait STPM, just you wait!
You'll be sorry, but your tears'll be too late!
You'll be finish and I'll have freedom.
Will I help you? Don't be funny. Just you wait, STPM, just you wait!...
Then they'll march you, STPM to the wall
And the King will tell me: 'Bekah, sound the call.'
As they raise their rifles higher, I'll shout 'Ready! Aim! Fire!'
Oh-ho-ho, STPM, Down you'll go, STPM.
Just you wait!

Haha.

Trials are over...makes it more pleasant..

Fail chemistry! ! !

Tough

I spent pre-Merdeka celebrations reading the maps of United States and England. US has many states with towns of the same name...too many Jacksons around?

Tsk tsk.

No. I just happened to pour through them...cause I wanted to know where New Orleans is (you know, if you've been following up on the news...Katrina the Hurricane) Malaysia is still nice.


Is this what tough truly means? - pic from GI

Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Oh yeah...I've been through tough times...these times seemed so superficial, when I look back at them, I felt as if all that was a joke of some century, like things Siu Fai would mutter.

It's not only tough...it was then I thought I could never rise again. Morally wounded, betrayed and emotionally shattered...

What kept me on?

What kept you on through tough times?

Where do I go from here?
What is the path I have to take?
I need You to shine the way for me...

In case you don't know...I'm not going through a tough time. Not the major kinds. Just exam-tough times...yeah. That's all. So, I'm fine. Just thought I raised that question. :) Cheers.

Star Of Nemo

Found this on a web. 挺 cool.

I shouldn't be online. But just want to blurp. I mean bleh.

Good laugh.

Here's a preview.


He does come online...but he doesn't speak.

Doesn't matter to you who me talking bout...for me to know, for you to never find out...muahahahhahahaha...

Random joke:
Train Conductor: That boy looks over seven years old. I'll have to have a full ticket for him.
Mister: He was just seven last week.
TC: He looks pretty old...
Mister: You are just seven, aren't you, Junior?
(Junior starts crying)
Mister: Aw, did the conductor offend the little boy?
Junior: (husky voice) No, my pipe burned a hold in my pocket..

Three men fell overboard. The captain yelled to me: When they come up grab them by the hair and pull them into the boat. Two of them came up and I grabbed them by the hair and pulled them in the boat. Then the third man came up but he was bald.
So?
I pushed him under and told him to come up like he should.

This is intellectual joke. But the simplicity beats it all..

Taxi! Taxi!
Were you calling me?
Yes.
Well, I'm already engaged.
Oh are you? Well I hope you'll be awfully happy.

Lame jokes. I know.

This is something Wai Peng would do to me if I ever said that...

Me: Call me a taxi!
WP: Okay -- you're a taxi.

(The near same scenario happened in some years back when i said "Call me ____ or whatever..." and WP had to answer: "Okay... ____or whatever!" Go figure. Mind you, the ___is for a blank cause i can't remember what i said...but it's definitely clean.)

But...this is the best I've read so far...

What is the best thing to do when the brakes of one's car give way?
Hit something cheap.

Gosh, sometimes these jokes are just so dumb.

Shattered Glass

Okay, I have not watch that show until just now...on DVD...though I couldn't get the story at first (1998 incident...boy, I was only 12! Who would be so knowledgeable then to know about Stephen Glass?) So I went online and read out about him...


Stephen Glass in an interview on 60 Minutes. -picture from http://www.jeppe.dk

The things he does is quite amusingly scary.

I mean, to play con-man for a long time and to conned the whole US nation...

Seriously, I couldn't think of why he did it? Pride? Desperation? Only he can answer that question.

But truly, it just shock me to see people like that around...

Proves that I'm probably an ignoramus. :P Which I am...at least that's what my dad calls me yesterday...

Oh well.

As the BM proverb goes..."As high as the squirrel fly, it will fall down in the end..." or is it like that? I just remember the pictures. Well, the more generally known is, "The higher you climb, the harder you fall..." Oh.

Er...in case you are as ignorant as I was...
"In 1998, just months after being named editor of The New Republic, Charles Lane fired Stephen Glass for making up a story that ran in the magazine under the headline "Hack Heaven." At once outrageously detailed and seductively just-ahead-of-the-curve on the biggest business story of the day, "Hack Heaven" was about a teenage computer hacker whose agent essentially extorts a lucrative package from a software company that had been one of the hacker's victims. "Hack Heaven" was the last article Glass ever wrote, but as it turned out it was not the first time Glass had played fast and loose with the truth. In the end, Glass made up all or part of the facts behind 27 of the 41 articles that he wrote for The New Republic during his career there. As a freelance writer, he also wrote tainted stories for such publications as George, Harper's and Rolling Stone. " -excerpt from http://desiringhayden.net/aboutsg.html.

But I think Hayden Christensen did a good job...Yeah.

Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass (L) and Peter Sarsgaard as Chuck Lane (R) who found out about his longtime fabrications and eventually fired him. -picture from http://www.cinema.com

Oh besides, I have decided to give credit for every source of picture and stuff like that to the original source from the INTERNET...kinda fun thing to do anyway.

Erm...facts are true okay. Appeared on
Forbes.com Archives by Adam Penenberg, the guy who investigated about Stephen Glass's article.
Stephen r. Glass Index by someone who is helpful to list down everything...

Sorry if I insulted anyone. I mean...Mr. Glass even wrote a book "The Fabulist" himself...about himself...

Yeah, so...yupz...

Just an interesting read.


+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

The Hits: Chapter 1 - Backstreet Boys

Hey...they are good okay...boy band or not. But I know it would look odd in my collection...oh well...:) It doesn't hurt.

ANY BOOK!! - Mary Higgins Clark

I love her! She is one of the best suspense, thriller, mystery writer after...erm...Arthur Doyle or Agatha Christie! Clean language (though must check some out though) and really great plot...I'm always awake reading her book...can't STOP! Give me any title...give me second-hand, I don't care! She's too good!!

Extravagant Worship - Darlene Zschech

Her book always tops my list...because it's expensive and hard-to-get! I mean...hello...do you ever see it lying around in bookstores??

Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis

Why am I not surprised it's on my list? Cause I'm so left behind with the Lion, Witch and Wardrobe...do you KNOW that it's my favorite chronicles...bother bout them who say the rest are boring...Prince Caspian isn't that bad...I mean...okay...Dawn Treader might be a little...but still!!

Finally got it up...of course still got so many but oh well...its nice to have a wishlist...but OH just to let you know...even if none of my wish here is fulfilled on my 19th birthday, it's okay...I guess...not everyone is as rich as Kean Sheng right?? I might be able to get them later in life...treasure musn't be so hasty right??

Hahaha...just realise...all expensive stuff! HAhahahaha...

Minefield!

No, it's not a game...

Nowadays, Malaysia is a HAZE...gosh, I tell you, it's so terrible that CNN had to report it.

"It seems that this isn't a weather problem, it's more of a human act.." - Richard Quest, CNN

In school today (thank God for air-conditioning!), we thought the haze had lifted, then...

(*plays Star Wars sub-theme song...den den deden den deden den deden...)

It came, like an eagle soaring on its wings, silent but swift. You would never know it is coming until its fangs have already set upon you...

Okay, it's crap. BUt look look look...

On a clear day, the 'permandangan' (scenery) outside my house is this...



Then yesterday, it's like this...6.00 p.m.


Then today..at 4.00 p.m.


NOTE THE TIME DIFFERENCE????


+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

Just Pouring

Hazy day huh?

Met up with Su-Lin yesterday...hehehe...long time never see her. It's good to be in touch again after a year.

I think I watch too much movies..always imagine wrong things. BY wrong things here means that not in Malaysia...somewhere out there....

FINE...I'll elaborate.

Imagine myself walking on a sandy beach...imagine myself wearing really thick, warm winter clothings...imagine myself in a wet woods...imagine myself in the buzzing lights of city life... imagine myself in a suburban setting... imagine myself smiling at nothing at all... imagine myself having fun with people...

Imagine imagine...(of course there's other stuff...but I'll keep that aside for a while...ah...square-jawed Caucasians!...*gush gush)

And GettyImages decided to be smarter by sticking their watermark in the center of the picture (which really ruins it...but oh well)...looks like I have to buy them pictures nowadays...thank God all projects are over! Hehehe...plagarism at its worst.

Nowadays kept listening to BSB's Incomplete...wait, I'll rephrase that, kept WATCHINg the video.

My favorite singer in the group would be...*clap clap ...Brian!



Hahaha...terrible me. Nolerr...just impressed by his singing and his commitment...great guy (just hope he stays that way..if he loses out, the first thing I'll do is shake my head)...Nick's voice kinda become raspy...don't you think? Donnolerr...

Hello, good morning, how You do?
What makes Your rising sun so new?

I could use a fresh beginning too
All of my regrets are nothing new

So this is the way that I say I need You
This is the way that

I'm
Learning to breathe
I'm learning to crawl
I'm finding that
You and You alone can break my fall
I'm living again, awake and alive
I'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies

Hello, good morning, how you been?
Yesterday left my head kicked in
I never, never thought that
I would fall like that
Never knew that I could hurt this bad

So this is the way I say I need You
This is the way that I say I love You
This is the way that I say I'm Yours
This is the way, this is the way

Switchfoot - Learning to Breathe (Learning to Breathe)

Tune in for next week, cause I'm gonna be putting up my birthday wishlist...ahahah...yupz...miss yours truly here is turning old! Muagua gua...

+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

Heartstrings

Since all of you must be bored to the core because I have been whimpering about Tim & Ben's farewell..so I'll just let you people see this...it's taken during the Father's Day celebration. I think so lerr...

Sorry if the video is stuck...that proves you need broadband...mua gua gua...and sorry if it looks shaky and blur at some parts. I was using Nick's digital camera for this video! So, leave it as it is...and sorry if the whole thing looks far away..I was sitting three rows from the front on the 2nd platform and Nick's camera could only zoom to this much...bah...buy a 10X optical zoom, brother...then you give me your one yeah?? :) Hehe. (And this is just a glimpse..what happen to the rest of the song? gee, I don't know.)

Gosh...uploading is slow. Maybe I'll get some sleep.

Ah...here it is..

ENJOY!

Bye-Bye!

I shall miss Tim and Ben very very much...especially Timo...cause won't see him forever and ever!!!!

:(

Wrote a song...remembering my friends who left the country...

Will I want to leave my hometown? My Malaysia?


That's all of us (except for their family) who woke up EARLY in the morning (like 5 a.m.!!) to just send them off in KLIA...
From L to R (bottom): Ming Huay, Pei Wern, Rachael, Jamie, Tim, Ben
From L to R (back): MOKS, Javan, Jared, Jackie, Christine, Leroy, Mag, Ming Ern and ME!


He's not tired, he's just trying to act weird...that's the Ben I will miss... *sob sob...(oh, but he is coming back...so there's a nice thought about it...)


I didn't take this as a candid shot...he purposely posed this way...this is the Tim I will miss...*sob sob (oh, I might still see him before my exams...or during my exams...*GASP!...yerr...so wrong time...hold onto the CD yeah? I pray that you will be blessed by it...nothing much but still got substance ler..)


The brothers in action...love themselves so much....notice the HULK?? NVM, I shall highlight it next time..

FOR my friends who left and are leaving...you don't know the music cause I really don't know how to have a good recorder enough to record it in...and then play it...TEACH ME THEN!!

You'll never know
When you'll make me laugh
You'll never know
When you'll make me cry

But it's gone now
Just memories remain
I might not see you again
Though I hope it's the other way

(Just wanna say)
Thank you
For being part of my life
Thank you
For making my world bright
I'll never forget your smile
I'll never forget your laughter
Your words and your jokes
Your care and trust and love
My friend...

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Til I see you again
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
My friend...

I know...it sounds like some dead funeral song...ahahahahhaha...it's not okay...

Maybe I should fly off to 加拿大. Canada lerr...

Independent Woman

Sigh...malang betul...

Over-pumped petrol today...

Kena scolded yesterday for being such a klutz...

Klutz klutz.

Dad says I too naive.

To make you guys puke out your dinner...nay, just kidding...just embrace this...

(WARNING: Gruesome, grotesque images...might want to keep your eyes closed...scroll down for like erm...10 keys down...)


Nyak ah ah ah...see that??? you will find it near your body..when you go for operandi..I mean, operation.


Tsk tsk...this is just trial rat...not my rat...didn't take picture of it...did you know that Cheong calls his rat Ryan??? Such a nice name....(*imagining Ryan Carbrera on the dissecting table..)

-picture of Ryan Cabrera courtesy of StarFile..I edited it lah duh.

Anywayz.

I have nothing to do, as I was humming that song, thus the title...what...I mean, I've got to have a title RIGHT....

Maybe I should really revamp my site at the end of the year..make it more happening..

My this week's word : SS (Syok Sendiri)
Syok Sendiri also means Sendiri Syok, also means...gee, I don't know what it means in English...what does it mean in English? I mean...Syok Sendiri, syok sendiri lah..

I realise that the lower six of MY CLASS...a.k.a 6B Seroja...gee, they super SS...during MT6 (Form 6th Council Meeting) AGM (Annual General Meeting), they were cheering for the nominees from their class...like super gung ho...but SS betul...even we seniors had to "OOI, SHUT UP LAH...SYOK SENDIRI AJE..." ...tsk tsk. Cheong even claim that his one ear deaf liao by all the screams and shout...hahah...irony is...only 2-3 orang kena chosen out of A LOT...sometimes, only they vote so we can just like..."Aiyah, 23 people...very fair...no more liao...the whole class only merr.."

Should I be more flamboyant in my blog??? Or siao siao? Or sober sober? Eh, I'm not always so serious okay??! Just very rough...what to do?

I think I'm too thin...must lift more weights...muagua gua...



No photoshop...so have to make use with Illustrator and Paint. Bah.

Anger Management

To clarify things, I am not a really forgiving person. Cause I used to be quite hot-tempered, so I tend to keep my anger in and of course, those grudges..

I watched Hallmark film verson of Mitch Albom's Five People You Meet In Heaven...I agree what the 3rd person Eddie met, Ruby said. Ruby had said, anger is like a curve blade. The harm you wish to do to others, you do to yourself.

Pr. Daniel always says anger will trap you instead of trapping the other. Only forgiveness can set you free...bitterness is like gun that backfires. You get the hurt instead.

HoW TrUE...

I have beliefs okay...

I don't care if people think I'm so square or rectangular for that matter...I don't care if people think I'm being religious or what...I don't care if people say I'm some sweet, tall, obedient girl...I don't care if people thinks I'm scared to death of my parents..saying Bangsar is red-light district, yada yada yada...

LISTEN TO ME!

I AM HUMAN...I have a life...and I have hurts...I go through the same things that you people go through. I go through depression, procrastination, anger, sadness, joy and problems...do you think I am ever so perfecT???!

Yes, I am a Christian. I am not afraid to declare it. Not anymore. You can think that I am being religious or holy-moly, but I am who I am because of Christ. Cause as I go through all the problems you too go through, I know who can help me. Jesus was the best thing that has happened in my life...without Him, I could have died...committed suicide or just...simply go insane literally.

Jeer at me, de-friend me, whatever. I have my beliefs and I will honour my parents. They may not be the best in the world...nor the most understanding, but they are still my parents. And if my dad sets the ground rule that I should not be in these kind of places, so be it. Don't try to lure me, because I know what will I be getting into.

I'm conservative, so what?!

I have my whole life to see God's plan for me come true...I have hope. I am not perfect, but grace is God's permission for me being human without feeling sinful.

I forgive you whoever would have the mind to murder me in your head...because if God can love the worst sinner, I know He can love anyone.

Christianity is not about rules and regulations. Christianity is about living life to the fullest. God did not give commands in order to restrict us. When He say, "Don't steal." Because He knows how stealing can make us suffer for a lifetime...God would always want our best for us...

I pray that YOU will understand that, you who read.

I am still on a journey. Will you walk with me?

+But me, I'm not giving up. I'm sticking around to see what GOD will do. I'm waiting for God to make things right. My God will hear me.+

Hickory Dickory Dock...

I still love mysteries...hey, I still read Nancy Drew once in a while...there are times when I just want to read something kiddish so it won't tax my head with weird vocabularies...but I still love mysteries..good ones that is.

I have to rack my brains to think of a new ad for the Pizza Hut thing. Anyone got any low-budget, no need to go out kinda ideas?

I realise I could well work in an advertising firm..but to tell you the truth, advertising can be quite boring after a while...other than coming up with good ads, sometimes you have to come out with really lame ones...like Gatsby Hair Dye Colour For Men ..."If you're happy and you know it, clap your hair..." *blink blink

ANywayz.

Got the pictures from M&M's wedding...

Then Wen Chung got angry at Sherry & OJ...tried to get him to talk but yerr...why do guys have to be so SILENT when they are angry. It makes them look worse.

Rebekah Lee Rebekah Lee...guard your heart and mouth oh...cause out from the abundance of the heart, springs out the words...life or death?

Yeah...I should stop MSNing...its really dumb..the things I said. Bah...

I, Rebekah Lee, would want to apologize for all the dumb and stupid things I have ever said, I should be less straightforward and more reserved...girls not so much lerr..guys are the biggies that I have to say sorry too...Sorry ler if you think I 'chee-chee-dei' or siao siao...cause on MSN I tend to type faster...so didn't enter the big brain yet...yerr...sound like Siu Fai now...

I miss my friend(s)...*sniff sniff... I really do.


This is Carissa & Chia Pei (pretty rite? One's studying med, the other, science) My closest friends before they left...bummer.


This is the man, David...the one who makes me feel guilty so that I will study...but oh well...he's doing med.
