i'm leaving on a jetplane.

don't know when i'll be back again.

even if my departure is scheduled for sometime next year,i'll still be terrorising everyone out there, albeit through cyberspace : /

try not to miss me.

haha. fine. i'll quit flattering myself.

so a Merry and Blessed Christmas to all!

i know i'm a day late, officially, roman-calender wise. but technically no!Its Christmas all year round.

teehee.

Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree..

p.s.this is a pointless post.similar to the others which I have written.

but do have yourself a merry little Christmas everyday of the year.

do try to remember its true meaning will you.

Take care and God bless!

tang yuen.celebrating my Chinese roots.

whoopeedeedoo.

hehehehehehehehehehehehe.

Praise God!

I needed a miracle and I got one.

-and Your mercies are new every morning.--

The Time Has Come - United Live

oh how appropriate. Results will be out in approximately 4 hours and 18 minutes.

so to sleep or not to sleep. That is the question.

diediediediedie.

I've taken to baking. rekindling my passion for the violin. and doing flying kicks in the middle of the night.

mom's as nervous as I am.

eep.eep.eep.

i really really need a miracle.

God knows best.
and you know what, regardless of my results, Praise Him.

p.s. yes, I did take up the violin when i was young, immature and didn't know any better in the hopes of becoming the next Vanessa Mae. and yes, i do know taekwando.

Green belt. Hmph.

oh,and may I add, a future Fair Trade activist blogging here :p

That's it for now.

shortchanged.

so darren and ginger got married and lived happily ever after.

being random is so 'in' nowadays, i'm giving it the boot.

Listening to: Stereophonics

Finally fulfilled my life long dream of whiling my time away at Borders. Read The Bush Agenda. Rather good I must say.

Have been hibernating.
Way too much.
Sleeping excessively is a big no-no. I actually need four hour mid- afternoon power naps to get going again : /

Moderation is the key.

Planet Shakers. Met two of your friends che, one's Scott and the other's Phoebe.

Have tried downloading Philadelphia and Thank You for Smoking. All attempts failed.

Watched Morgan Freeman in Lean on Me.

and speaking of movies.

pa makes me watch all these weird 1980's/1990's b-grade kungfu flicks. Belly of the Beast wasn't the first. Last weekend, I watched Jean Claude Van Damm beat a big fat bully/meanie to pulp. Okay scratch the fat part. He was more like muscular. So big deal.

Just kidding.

Go you Frank Dux.

ouyotyadhtribyppaha.

now.read it backwards.

haha.

so, a Happy 18th To You Rah Rah!

and of course not forgetting Vicksies!

and erh. Sha May!lol.

and Amanda Teoh! whom i really doubt has ever come across my blog. but its the thought that counts anyhoo.

and *drum roll please*

kakak saya yang tersayang. who will forever be young at heart.

: /

do take care. and God bless.

smell like a flower. sting like a bee.

sepak takraw over CSI anytime. err right.

so I watched a game of sepak takraw today.My first but certainly not the last.

Malaysia lost to Thailand.boohoo.

and it really is an interesting game! surprisingly.

flexibility. agility.speed.any other adjectives which you might like to add?

'kwai lo's' version of the hacky sack. but so much cooler wei.

and my artwork/masterpiece is complete.

didn't take much time nor talent to finish it.

but still :/

It's not so bad.

So you sailed away

Into a grey sky morning.

So yes, I've been listening to a lot of Vertical Horizon lately.

what's with my yes's and my no's.

they seem to appear quite often in my posts.

going off to paint my heart out now.

do await my masterpiece.

maybe i'll even make you a duplicate copy.

get it autographed and maybe you can auction it off on e-bay in 20 years time.

For a dollar.

Eh. Transactions on e-bay are conducted in U.S dollars right?so there. RM 3.62 for you. or whatever the exchange rate is by then.

enough to buy yourself a packet of chicken rice i'm quite sure. That is if its price hasn't gone up to 6 bucks by then.

Not surprising.

movie mania.

'You may succeed in silencing one man, but the howl of protest from around the world will reverbrate, Mr. Putin, in your ears for the rest of your life. '

Alexander Litvinenko.

just like a scene from Alias. or from one of those spy movies.ooh. i like.

no.i'm not a sadist. i don't enjoy watching people die. but the story that unfolds is an interesting one.

Anna Politkovskaya found slained. A slow and painful death for the above-mentioned Mr. Alexander, former KGB officer. Former president of Russia, Yegor T. Gaidar falls ill. All harsh critics of the Kremlin.

suspicious ain't it.

Wouldn't have realised the connection if not for Times!

For a former communist country, I always thought Russia was progressing well. Economically that is. But lo and behold, they seem to be falling back to their old ways. With government controlled newspapers ( sounds like some other country i know of. guess who?), imprisonment of social activists.blablabla.inflicting fear into the hearts and minds of Russians.

This is the 21st century if you all haven't noticed.People are learned, educated and we have every right to speak up against such atrocities. If we don't stand up for ourselves, and the defenseless who else is going to do so?

Power to the People!

p.s. i want so many books!

The Family Way by Tony Parson.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards.

The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai.

and finally, Where to Malaysia, by idontknowwho.

now, to find someone who will be ever so kind as to fund my book shopping spree. : /

learning to say i'm sorry.

Deutch Haus.

German food.

ooh.food review!
haha.

err.this is not exactly a reader friendly post. especially for those who don't consume pork or a who thinks its disgusting of others to do so.hehe.
just in case. so skip everything that's below to keep your sanity.and i really don't mean to discriminate!lol.

eee.
so mom's.pop's.me. headed of to somewhere in KL.somewhere within walking distance from Bukit Bintang. and one road away from Jalan Alor. ooh!i know.its called Jalan Ceylon/Ceylon Hill.oh i don't know.

so i had my first taste of pork knuckles. i always found the thought of eating pig's feet to be disgusting. but it looked good yesterday!it was like 'siew yok' or roast pork as we all know it. so i had/was tempted to try some. it was yummy.kinda larh.except i had too much pork, i felt the need to lay of pork for the rest of the year.

but today afternoon, i had this really huge craving for barbequed pork and roast pork : / but yes, i did not succumb! three cheers for me!haha. oh yes, i tried their sausage platter. nuremberg. bratswurst.blablabla.

mom's and pop's says they won't be going there in a long while.not up to their expectations it seems. i wouldn't know. the first time i tried pork knuckles!mom's and pop's prefer the real German kind.the one boiled in sauerkraut till its tender.juicy.fill in the blanks.so do tell if you know of a place to have good ol' fashioned pork knuckles.

and the sausages. they all looked different, but they all tasted the same. : /maybe there's something wrong with my tastebuds. who know's?

and i baked a cake!i baked a cheesecake!haha.it turned out bad.i didn't have to throw it away but still...

oh i must remember to bring the camera along when i do go down to kl at night!

22nd of November, 2006.

obligatory post for 'kei po' people.

lol.just kidding larh.

itu dia kawan saya kat' atas pentas.

lindy.ms. prom queen nominee.teehee.

peng han min. tan wee wee.

i just had to put this up.hope he doesn't kill me.hehe.

sue gie. wai kit.

Girls of M2.

and last but not least, fatty and I.

for more, check out lindy's and vicky's blog.more pictures there.

and i really have to stop blogging this often.

cards.

no, i'm not talking about the normal everyday deck of cards we have at home.

its more like racial cards i'm referring to.

i know this is a very sensitive subject to write about but i feel very strongly about it.

i've been very fortunate to have been brought up and to be exposed to Malaysia's multi-cultural society since i was 7. i have always had close friends from the other races. i still remember my best friend in standard 3 was Alia whom i found out not too long ago was in Hartamas.haha.have been wondering where she menghilangkan diri too after so long. then in form 2 i was very close to Gaya : p so i really am speaking from the heart.

so the racial issue has cropped up once again. People never let go huh?

i was very dissapointed with what Dr. Chua said. You know, the MCA guy :/
yea fine. i know its a fact that political party AGM's are usually racially charged. but to stop airing these meetings as they happen live will only worsen relations with other races.what's worse is when Dr. Chua admitted that these meetings are 'racially-charged'. I know as the elected representives you have the interests of your respective race to keep in mind, but i still think you have to keep your emotions in check. Every politician should steer clear from extremism/sensationalism/whatever else. Instead of demanding for more, and accusing each other or pointing fingers at one another or even try to take credit for Malaysia's development, we should instead be using the time to promote unity. we are after all Malaysians. We made Malaysia for what is now. It is not the work of one particular race. We did it together. Regardless of how much I complain about Malaysia, about local councils incompetence, the waste of public funds, which of course where a lot more work hasto be done, i am proud to be a Malaysian and i hope we'll continue to work together as one.

Bersekutu Bertambah Mutu!

i have to stop blogging so often.

You're Everything to Me.

looking on the brighter side of things.

so i had a bad week. what with my phone suddenly ringing halfway through my english paper. and the horrible math paper i had to sit through. i actually felt myself turn red from the pressure.

so i came back from my math paper.was too depressed to eat. but anyway, moms and pops were really nice about the whole me screwing up my math paper thing.thanks momsiez.thanks popsiez. the best you all are! ended up watching someone getting blown up to smitterins'. no not the mongolian model, more like the blonde firefighter from third watch. :/
what a great way to end a bad day.

regardless of all that may have happened this week. i'm not going to jump of the kl tower, or even the 8th floor of Times Square. yes, i know worse things have happened to people and my 'problems' are far from real problems.
but so far, this week has been one of my worsts in life.

but yes, looking on the brighter side of things. i shall only consider these as minor setbacks in life.
so what if i don't get into Melbourne U?
so what if i don't get straight A's.

its not the end of things.
i'm sure the Heavenly Father has His plans for me.
He knows what is best for me.
I've done my best, and I trust that He will do the rest.

everything's going to turn out alright. and even if it doesn't, its okay.
The lessons. The experiences. invaluable.

For God is the strength and the portion of my heart forever-Psalms 73:26

even the best fall down sometimes-howie day.collide.

black horse and the cherry tree.

heeeehheeeee.

inside joke.

teehee. not telling!

am liking tyler hilton now!go get me his cd! or maybe burn his songs for me.
whichever. i'm not picky.
but for now, i have to be contented with listening to his songs through myspace until you all do.
just kidding : p

there have been a lot of things going on in this little mind of mine. no, i'm not contemplating suicide or anything close to that for the matter. phew*

note(s) to self: -

rah rah was so asking for it : /

i know i'm a day late but a happy deepavali and a selamat hari raya to everyone!

stop this train.

a song from john mayer's new album.
i have all 49 minutes and 58 seconds of continuum.thanks to lyon! : /hehehe.thanks!if you do ever read my blog that is!

you know how i used to be so disappointed with my seniors from cf whenever they returned for meetings in school, and i asked them whether they attended cf in their respective colleges and all i got was a no. or the times, where i got really dissapointed when i found out that a Christian friend of mine is not at all involved in cf in their school. it just dawned upon me that i'm exactly one of those people who i used to disappointed with.yea, so i need another word to replace dissapointed.

i used to think it would be natural of someone who used to participate so actively in cf to continue doing so in college/university, but i guess i was wrong. and i used to tell myself that i'm not going to drop out of cf just like they did. but i did exactly just that.

i know we all have our respective church/youth group and all. but i think we really need to have a 'support group' thing going on in school/college/wherever we are.Besides, cf commitee's need all the support that they can get. the times spent together working as a cf commitee or just as a part of the group is a wonderful experience.and of course getting influenced by other's infectious passion for Christ is another reason for someone to join cf.

the year's ending. and 2007 is just slightly more 2 months away. but its never too late!: p

yes, though i walk through the valley of borderline grades, i will not have a nervous breakdown , for Thou art with me.
