An echoed happy birthday to Jacintha and Ezra Vendargon who celebrate their birthday today as well!

So I thought that the only way today could've gone bad is that if I were to screw up my Law of Evidence paper. By God's grace I didn't. Awesome.

I'd just like to thank you beautiful people for the wishes and gifts.
As corny as this may sound, you people are one of the greatest gifts, ever.

...it's my birthday tomorrow, no one else would know...I was born this Thursday, 22 years ago...

Mom once said that dad used to be a romantic man. He bought her flowers, opened the car door for her, etc etc. Once mom fell down and hurt her knee, macho dad used his handkerchief to bandage around her knee.
(cue: "awwwwwwwww")

Now, dad farts in his sleep, burps at the dinner table and does his "mining" while driving. Ahh, romance.

Jerome, Andrew and Little Red Riding Hood

2008-08-12T00:08:00.013+08:00

...we are Hosea's wife, we are squandering this life...using people like ladders and words like knives...

Kids, once upon a time...

...there was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood.

Unlike all the other Little Red Riding Hoods,

...this one likes the colour pink.

You see, although she was meant to be liking red,

...she couldn't resist the whoopie colour of a flamingo and err...pigs!

So one day, Little Red Riding Hood decided to change her name to Pink Riding Hood,

...since she thought she wasn't little anymore and never did liked red.

So she began to walk to the Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara Cawangan Melaka,

...since petrol price is high and she's broke from buying pink-coloured stuffs.

While walking...

... she stumbled upon a pink bicycle.

Little Red Riding Hood found the creamy pink coloured bike so irresistible,

...she stole the bike.

So there she was, a little girl who loves pink but wears red...

...cycled along Fairytale Road 5/2...

...towards Jalan Raja Sorum Portnoy Hawkins Chambers Grohl Cool Butler Ulrich Jr. the Third Riayat Shah...

and finally, to the Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara Cawangan Melaka.

Just when she was about to enter the government building,

...a policeman recognized the pink bike as a stolen vehicle.

Therefore, Little Red Riding Hood was arrested under Section 379 of the Penal Code for theft.

Furthermore, she was sentenced to juvenile detention for 3 years, and never did get to change her name to Little Pink Riding Hood.
And thats how Little Red Riding Hood's name came to be...the end.

Happy belated birthday, Jerome and Andrew. Rock on, like the Republic of Azerbaijan~!

A Woman's Glory...?

2008-07-29T01:19:00.007+08:00

...you're so brilliant...don't soon forget...you're so brilliant...grace marked your heart...

I was doing a bit of reading from The Rebelution blog, when I stumbled upon an article titled T een Girls Define "A Real Man". According to the article, one of the qualities of being a "real man" is that:

"A real man doesn’t have long hair because it is a “woman’s glory.” A real man doesn’t desire to adorn himself with a woman’s glory." (1 Cor. 11:14-16)

Hmm...a woman's glory...*guilty*...
If there's an exception to that (like almost every rule of law) it would most probably be Samson.
But since I can't survive wrestling a lion, I guess I should really cut my hair.
I'm gonna look like a kid.

Casting Crowns - East to West

Here I am Lord and I’m drowning
In Your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don’t want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight

I know You’ve cast my sin as far
As the East is from the West
And I stand before You now
As though I’ve never sinned
But today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way

Jesus, can You show me just how far the East is from the West?
Cause I can’t bear to see the man I’ve been
Rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
You know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other

I start the day, the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
And time and time again
Your truth is drowned out by the storm I’m in
Today I feel like I’m just one mistake away
From You leaving me this way

I know You’ve washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can’t live by what I feel
About the truth Your word reveals
And I’m not holding onto You
But You’re holding onto me
You’re holding onto me

Jesus, You know just how far the East is from the West
I don't have to see the man I’ve been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest (mercy I find rest)
You know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other

From one scarred hand to the other...

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend. Somewhere along in the bitterness. And I would have stayed up with you all night, had I known how to save a life...

Been listening to lotsa new tunes these days, gotta say that I'm hooked. Albums of the moment:

Relient K - Five Score and Five Years Ago
Christian rock at its best. This is the band's 5th album and the quality of their music and lyrics have yet to dissappoint. Check out the song Crayons Can Melt on Us for All I Care, their shortest song to date: 10 seconds. Haha.

"I've...just wasted...ten seconds of your lives"

James Morrison - Undiscovered
This English singer/songwriter is a genius. His raspy voice due to a whooping cough as a toddler smoothens his guitar driven numbers, chillout. Big female fanbase 'cos of the voice. Elaine also suka.

"The pieces don't fit anymore"

Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High
Pure Powerpop Punk goodness. Highly addictive tunes, but lyrics yang super tak kena. Its being looped again and again in Styne's car, and in my head as well. 'Nuff said?

"Say a prayer, but let the good times roll. In case God doesn't show"

Once I get addicted to a certain list of songs, thats it man. Julian's ear goes numb. Haha. There's at least one song from each album in my Imeem playlist at the sidebar, check it out when y'all have time, or bandwith for that matter.

On the other note, it was Justin and Aaron's birthday on the 18th. Justin got kidnapped ala mafia style with blinds and hands tied up, taken for a joy ride, and finally pelted with flour, water, eggs, experienced the traditional wedgie and also the new infamous cakeinthebuttcracks finishing move.

...the hunt, the trophy, the birthday boy...

Snippets:

Joash: *fake voice* Put him down, put him down.
Justin: *blindfolded* Shadapla Joash.

Lucius: *while being dragged to the 'puddle of death'* Eh guys, don't la. Gun, gun, gun, gun.
Guys: Wha-?

Edmund: *struggling mightily hard while being dragged to the 'puddle of death'* Ugh!! Ugh!! Ugh!!

Justin: Eh, the eggs just now pain la.
VJ: Wayne la, he threw them directly.
Kok Pin: Eh, here got somemore eggs what?
Justin: Really? Where? *looks for the eggs*
Guys: Eh, why you tell that fella? *scrams*

Justin: *while cleaning himself with water* Lower, lower.
Lucius: *washing Justin's back*

Hahahaha, birthday bashes are getting worse by the years. Cheers to the tall baba, and the fellow Klangite who managed to avoid all this, being in Cyberjaya and all. Happy Birthday! Double toasts to y'all.

Switchfoot - Easier Than Love

Sex is currency
She sells cars,
She sells magazines
Addictive bittersweet, clap your hands,
with the hopeless nicotines

Everyone's a lost romantic,
Since our love became a kissing show
Everyone's a Casanova,
Come and pass me the mistletoe

Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone

She is easier than love
Is easier than life
It's easier to fake and smile and bribe

It's easier to leave
It's easier to lie
It's harder to face ourselves at night
Feeling alone,
What have we done?
What is the monster we've become?

Where is my soul?

Numb

Sex is industry,
The CEO, of corporate policy
Skin-deep ministry,
Suburban youth, hail your so-called liberty

Every advertising antic,
Our banner waves with a neon glow
War and love become pedantic,
We wage love with a mistletoe

Everyone's been scared to death of dying here alone

Sex is easier than love,
It's easier than love,
It's easier to fake and smile and brag

Where is my soul?
Where is my soul?

Numb

"Another song inspired by irony or paradox or perhaps sheer confusion. How is it that one of the most meaningful, intimate moments in a human's life is now used to sell beverages or magazines or auto parts? And indeed, sex sells. It's no wonder that sex is easier than love, because love is extremely difficult, almost impossible at times." - Jonathan Foreman, of Switchfoot

...she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on the doorway...but outside, it starts raining...

gig - pronounciation noun, verb, gigged, gig·ging. Slang.
-noun

1.	a single professional engagement, usually of short duration, as of jazz or rock musicians.

2.	any job, esp. one of short or uncertain duration: a teaching gig out west somewhere.

–verb (used without object)

3.	to work as a musician, esp. in a single engagement: He gigged with some of the biggest names in the business.

2 sweet gigs in two weeks. Attending one, attended one.

Last week was Laundry Bar's Thursday usual live music night, Soundcheck. Was there with a few fellas back at home. Warm ambience plus good music with a dash of vodka martini dressed the night. 3 shifts were on that night: Zalila Lee's acoustic pieces, a Danish band Madison Flint's frontman named Kim (good control of screamos) and also this guy called Isaac Entry, he filled the place with groove 'n soul. Alex of CFE played for him, plus other veterans from the local music scene. Also bumped into Joyce the Kinky Blue Fairy, blogger aficionado. She's nice, and she blogs for Laundry Bar too. Check the bar's blog out, there's a pic of me and sweetlassplatonicfriend Esther. Did my laundry at the bar alright, heh~.

Next gig's an upcoming one called Indie-licious, at KL Jam Asia featuring none other than PG165! Gonna be there, with a throng of their fans. Been awhile since they played live music for their fans, so this one's gonna be big for sure. Been thinking about it, if fergilicious' definition goes "make the boys go loco," then what's Indie-licious' definition? Make the boys go headbang?...lame i know...humour me.

Always appreciated live music and will always do.

Most probably will be too lazy to post for another 1-2 weeks, so lemme take this opportunity to wish fellow Chinese readers (if any) a prosperous Gong Hei Fatt Choi! Go easy on the ba kua and oranges y'all...and if you're generous enough, do share the angpow harvests, nyehehe. Out.

Casket?

If home's where my heart is I'm out of place...Lord, won't You give me strength to makie it through somehow...I've never been more homesick than now...

Why it is still worthy to love? By all means love is a risk. But isn't everything in life a risk? Stumbled across this quote by C.S. Lewis, and found that love, despite all the blood, sweat and tears, is a risk worth taking.

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." - C.S. Lewis

Love, God-given, is not meant to be kept inside with four walls around it. It is meant to be shared and expressed. Remember the 'box skit' we present in most of our mission trips? Yup, thats it.

Merry Christmas, all. And a blessed New Year.

...the silence tells me that you're not coming back anymore...I'll forget you on these nights when it rained...

It's 2 in the morning and I'm wide awake, since I dozed off on a book after dinner. The thing about sleeping too late in the evening is that you tend to wake up at odd hours, where your mind gets disoriented because of waking up in the dark. This oughta meddle with my biological clock a bit.

A late but nevertheless valid(?) SHOUTOUT to Justyne, who turns 21 last Sunday. Kudos to a great friend and brother in Christ. Hope you like the bag we gave ya. The Don celebrates...

The other Don, Sam left Melaka to pursue his dreams and purpose that God has in store for him. The man who blessed many of our hearts with his antics and charisma is now back to his hometown in KL. Your legacy lives on...*salute*

This few days has been days which I really have the Lord in thanksgiving.
Managed to register for the subject which I wasn't able to earlier due to technicalities. The subject was at full capacity and a gracious friend was kind enough to let me take her place since she was dropping it...
Sang for worship on Sunday and loved it, grateful for His gift of worship to us, and for providing opportunities to serve Him in music and praise. Less of me, more of Him...
And thank God for friends, for their constant encouragements and the realisation that they play a part in my life that helped make me the person I am today...

November rain...
I don't mean the song by Guns N' Roses, but rather the weather of the month, rainy...
Most people would dread it, 'cause its hard to walk to classes under the rain and laundry won't dry as fast...although someone likes rain cos it reminds her of a Korean pop singer *cough*ai*cough*
And if there's any mafia-don/yakuza-chief/chinese-triad-boss who wants to kick the bucket, this season will be a good time to start holding your funerals and wakes, because I notice that in most movies involving the deaths of these people, it always rains.

November rain...I'm growing fond of it.
It gives an ordinarily dull evening sunset a darker hue and sober feel, not to mention that the weather is much cooler.
A gentle reminder of how refreshing it can be, in the Lord.

Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants. - Deuteronomy 32:2

He covers the sky with clouds, He supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. - Psalms 147:8

...but then, You assured me, I'm a little more than useless, when I think that I can't do this, You promise me that I'll get through this, and do something right, do something right for once...

Sigh...Melaka...

3 weeks is kinda short...don't ya think? Don't ya? Yes? No?

Why can't they give us a lil' more for break? Another week perhaps?

Why? Why? I wanna stay home!

I'm not homesick, no...Melaka is like a second home to me...only...

It's just that...well...it's just that...

I LOVE THIS GAME AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT!!!

Ahh, the woes of a student gamer...
N-need...more...pixelated...goodness...must...have...final...fantasy...

Haha.

No, seriously. It's the only reason why it's sad to see the end of the break...at least to me. Ol' faithful Square-Enix have really outdone themselves with their latest installment of this RPG franchise. It's so good and immersive, most (not all) of my holiday was used up playing it. It was either mamak, futsal or Final Fantasy 12.

But it shall wait 'til the next break. Classes now return to haunt the sanity of students, clouding their heads with mind-numbing numbers, formulas*cough*statutes*cough*cases, filling their daily routine schedules with research-filled, bloodtearsandsweat-shed assignments. Lecturers contemplate their slew of baffling lecture notes and skull-cracking tutorials. All this for the sake of education and ~~money~~ knowledge. Will we survive the massacre? Can we subsist the brainslaughter?

Oh! The horror!

Naa, it's just classes. I'm just exaggerating. We'll do fine...won't we? Here's to the new trimester, cheers!

Things to do...

2006-10-11T01:33:00.000+08:00

Hey now, hey now, don't dream its over...

Plans, plans. This holidays albeit short, I'm gonna set some targets, don't wanna idle too much on the couch doing kacang. The targets? Some beneficiary, some impartial, and some just fer fhuuun~~...

What's behind curtain number 1?!
Get Okami and Final Fantasy XII with the hope of finishing them before the break ends, *crosses fingers*.
Priority : Its gaming...'nuff said.
Beneficiary : For the sheer satisfaction and sense of empty accomplishments. Heh~

Curtain number 2!
Start jogging! I wanna get back my form that I used to have in my teen days. Hopefully the haze'll clear by then...
Priority : Only if I get a new pair of running shoes...old one's torn out.
Beneficiary : Badan cergas, minda cerdas?

3rd curtain!
Rebuild some jambatans! Sorta lost touch with some friends back at Klang. Hopefully their phone numbers are still unchanged. Not forgetting the ones here, of course.
Priority : Miss you guys lar...
Beneficiary : Rekindling the good old times...

Curtain to the 4th!
Learn to read drum notes aka. drums punya taugeh! Aside from that gonna practise my strokes with at least, say...20 minutes a day?
Priority : To serve better in the music ministry, 'that even a question?
Beneficiary : That satisfaction of giving your best to the One who deserves it all.

On the 5th curtain!
Study for law of tort. Bracing myself for the supplementary. Don't think I did well in it yesterday...
Priority : Considerably high, no rest for the wicked.
Beneficiary : The opportunity of not having to re-take another subject.

Tirai ke-6!
Will be in Penang to visit relatives. Char kuey teows out there, be afraid...be...very...very...afraid...
Priority : It's food, c'mon...
Beneficiary : Get fat while pleasing my tastebuds, heh~

And the 7th and last, but not the least,
Be a witness and a living testimony to my family and friends back home. Not overlooking on what matters most, the soul of others. Do pray for me, that I be guai guai and don't pick on my brother (too) much.
Priority : Ultimate, (Level 6, 11, and 16)
Beneficiary : To worship God, as a family.

Hopefully I can cross off all of'em by the end of the break. Then again I'm counting my chickens before the eggs hatch for there's another paper to go; Computer Law. Blogging this shows how 'serious' I'm taking it. Then again a hope for the future motivates the present, I think. Cheers, to the future!

...and if we feel the silence...holding this all inside us...looking for something to say...I don't know where I'm going...only know where I've been...but you move through my soul like a hurricane wind...

Day one, you prodded me around...I knew no one then...
I made a stupid remark, you cried. Notsosmooth criminal...
Played with water...RM2 per entry...
You stole my sleeping bag...I took someone elses...hehe...

Then there was four of us, ready to take the world...
Twist, lick, dunk...
Pictionary...tugu negara...
Paperchats...when class was boring...
I plucked ur nerves...once or twice...tonnes...
Trips up north weren't the same anymore...
Spaghetti, overflowed float...armageddon...
Of lillies and roses...
I cared too much for my own good, and still do...
But I still prayed...for your past haunted you...

Things we're getting better, 'til I screwed it up...
Tangled in a web of misunderstanding...
You asked me not to stay, and to forget our memories...
But I can't.
For our friendship means a lot to me...again, too much for my own good...
And now all I can do is give you the room you need...
I wish you peace and joy...my friend.

Relient K - Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind
But I will shy away from the specifics...

'cause I don't want you to know where I am,
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state its ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there, theres exactly where I lost it.
See that line, well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said that
Its the very moment that I wished that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure that I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside,
Have finally begun to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'cause who I've been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again.
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

You will keep in perfect peace all who trusts in You,
whose that are fixed on You.
Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord is the eternal Rock.
Isaiah 26:3-4

Casting Crowns - Love Them Like Jesus

The love of her life is drifting away
They're losing the fight for another day
The life that she's known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a child's broken heart

You're holding her hand, you're straining for words
You're trying to make - sense of it all
She's desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She's looking to you

Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
Love her like Jesus

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to gray
As the little one slips away

You're holding their hand, you're straining for words
You're trying to make - sense of it all
They're desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They're looking to you

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you

So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don't need the answers to all of life's questions
Just know that he loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus
Love them like Jesus

Nobody said it was easy...no one ever said it would be this hard...I'll take it back to the start

...these feet are made for walking, and thats what they will do...

This academic year is gonna see it's last days. At last, all that we hold comfort of our daily lives with friends, and all the taken for granted-ness will change. CGs, the CF itself and even the heartbreaking fact of some friends moving on to the other campus and seniors graduating: Sam, Billy, Laura, Amy, Shobita, Winnie...tears will flow, hands will wave, distances will grow, but search deep within your heart, and our loved ones might just be nearer than you think. Still gonna miss you guys though.

...friends, the reason life is worth living...

Lost my wallet a week ago. Somewhere in Melaka Sentral. Away went my cards, ID, license and etc. What drove the nail the deepest was losing the wallet I got 5 years back when I accepted Christ. They had games in the youth meeting and I won it. Who would've thought I would go home from youth that evening with more than just a new wallet? With the inconveniences of replacing my lost cards, I had VJ and Stef's big help to settle those stuffs. A very big THANK YOU to you two.

...macha, slave, boss...

Left Melaka yesterday for Bentong, followed VJ and Stef to her hometown. For what? Fer fhuun~~. Haha, I kid. She wanted to go get her new car: a lil' Kelisa named Titus. Bentong's a pretty nice place, small town but nevertheless cosy. Stef's family was a great host and fed us food, good food. Triple teaming with VJ and Stef's bro, Kevin against her was fun too, heh...and had good rest after. Then we left Bentong in the morning with Titus along, had a detour to KL and came back just in time for soundcheck to sing for Consumers Night in campus. As I stood on stage, had a whisper of a thought, or more of a dream, that someday I want to be able to sing my own written songs heart out, about His greatness and faithfulness. When crowds will give cheers and shouts not to me, but to the One above, King of Kings who deserves all the glory. Someday...no more Buble, but Him alone.

Everyone, well almost everyone's getting a set of wheels. Kok Wei got his Iswara, Stef's got Titus, Deric's getting one, Renee too...makes me feel...left out, heh. With the rise of fuel price and all the other nitty gritties, doubt I'm gonna get one during my campus life. Parents aren't that generous, heh. But I guess it's a matter between needs and wants.

...when every smile is born out of sincerity and joy...

Life has taken a considerable downshift of gear. With finals coming soon and assignment datelines., seniors wrapping up their FYP's while others secure their training placements. Amidst all these I got to see some answered prayers and fulfilled blessings. Sometimes God's faithfulness shows when all we thought was lost and deprived of hope. Simple faith.

...prayer...faith...hope...

Walking on, steps after another, while learning to breathe.

Cheers.

Many of you guys are celebrating your birthdays on these months = it is a good month. A month when He brought most of my friends into people's lives, haha...sounds lame. Well, things are slowly moving for me these couple o' days. The silence before the storm I guess. If only the same goes with my mind. Too many things going around all jumbled up like rojak...finding peace with my inner self.

A toast, to Ed and Matt. Cheers.

Edelweiss, Edelweiss...every morning you greet me...small and white...clean and bright, you look happy to meet me...

This half moon, somewhat bright...
As though smiling upon the world in blight...
How so that u shine radiantly on the darkened world that befalls you?

This half moon, somewhat bright...
Through cricket chirps and the grass’ waltz...
You smirk down with light.

This half moon somewhat bright...
That you befall your grin among the constellations...
As if to complete the clouds in the dusk sky.

This half moon somewhat bright...
Like a sarcastic implore and plight...
Asking for a way and with sight.

This half moon, somewhat bright...
Like staining the black night with white...
Giving vision while the pain subsides inside.
This lonely smile in a black void hide...
This half moon, somewhat bright.

I need to find my way back home...back to the place, the wonderful days...living the life I used to know, where every smile was born out of a love and of sincerity...and every tear of everflowing joy...

...2 kayus...

2 days ago(18th of April)...2 funny fellas celebrated their birthday...on the same day...
The differences? One turns 22, another 20...ones here in Melaka, the other somewhere in Cyberjaya...one is a budak Melaka, another budak Klang (hidup Klang!) One turns 22, the other 20. However, both are friggin' tall, and both kinda 'kayu'...haha.

...given a camera and was too free...

Justin Lee Hock Yee aka Baba Panjang is now 22 years old. Inspiring leader and fellow bro. Rhythm guitarist of PG165 and a great worship leader. Great singer and guitarist. Has a fetish on loo business. He's taking over as CF president next year, and...single?

...Jambun's hands in the middle...

Aaron Tan Wei Min aka Soniqated kickstarts the 2nd decade of his life. Fellow Klang'ite with a playa's skill...bertaubatlah. Missed in Cyber, bet his radar is overloading if you know what I mean...has/d fetish with blings and a good confidante. Spank you...

...was last to finish meal in IF Camp '05...

...freak turned his nose 90 degrees...

Happy belated birthday to the both of you. The Lord's blessings be upon your steps as you continue to bless others. Thanks for being brothers and a part of ma life. A toast, to you both:

Cheers.

Give me understanding, according to Your word, revive me according to Your loving kindness, that I may seek Your word...

such irony...
gone numb...
how can this be?
that You endured more than I could ever...
such as love, sorrow and malice meet...
to gaze disdain undertones...
when the threshold breaks and fury wakes...
ever so I am grateful for every breathe, every blessing, every friend, every soul met...
You know better than I...You know the way...
I deserve nothing...nothing...that You would die for me...
deliver me O'Lord...for You know my affliction...
with knowing that I'll look back and praise Your name...
for unconditional and unjudging love...mirrored otherwise...
who am I fooling?
ignorance is bliss after all...heh...
to seek You endlessly...
but I still believe, in Your faithfulness, You...above all...

Cheers.

You make eveything good, everything wonderful. You grace my days...You make me see the only thing that's true, it's You...

Oh, every year hath its winter,
And every year hath its rain-
But a day is always coming
When the birds go north again.

When new leaves swell in the forest
And grass springs green on the plain,
And alders' veins turn crimson--
And the birds go north again.

Oh, every heart hath its sorrow,
And every heart hath its pain--
But a day is always coming
When the birds go north again.

Tis the sweetest thing to remember,
If courage be on the wane,
When the cold, dark days are over--
Why, the birds go north again.

Jaci Velasquez - You

Farewell...and goodbye...

2006-04-07T11:44:00.000+08:00

I will remember you, will you remember me? Don't let your love pass you by...weep not for the memories...

A tribute...to the two wonderful people in my life...

This lil' brat ain't all innocent, needed 'proper supervision' while his parents were off to work...
That's when they came in, being a babysitter she was and as for him, doing his brother a favour...
What a handful this bouncy child was, itchy handed, always hungry and couldn't seem to sit still....
The child spent half of his childhood life there, going home only on weekends...
Eventually he came to have another pair of parents, Papa and Mama, apart from Daddy and Mommy.
She makes the best mee siam and meatball porridge...
He makes the best fish porridge and dry beehoon, see the funny connection?
She used to wake the kid up at 6 for school, bathed him, cooked maggi for him, brought him to pasar malam, and scolded him for doing the silly things kids always do...
He always spoiled the kid with extra pocket money, take him for bike rides, taught the kid to make iced sugarcane and always forced the brat to take afternoon naps...
Eventually the kid grew up to be a teenager, ready to take on the world...
She stopped becoming the kid's babysitter, likewise for her husband, who worked at the port...
At one point the boy grew to find out that she got sick, vague on details...
She soon got better, he continued to visit her back at the place where he grew up...
But then...she had to go...her sickness came back...he was 15...
He didn't get to say goodbye...
Her husband, suffered a stroke attack some time before she left...
And last sunrise, had another...he left too...the boy wasn't there...
Neither one left the boy a goodbye...

To the two that made my childhood days. To the two that loved me as their own. To the two that helped made me the person I am now. To the best uncle and aunt there is to me. To Pa, and Ma. Cheers...you'll be deeply missed.

You are too beautiful, and I am a fool for beauty...you are too beautiful, for one man alone, one lucky fool to be with...

I saw an angel the other day,
With such a beauty, she made my legs sway,
I set before her flowers, hoped she will not put it at lay,
How'd it'd even compared to her, no one can say.

Wonders of wonders,
That I had her to dance,
With fears in the future;
I might not have a ghost of a chance.

Though night as sure will descend,
Pillars in time break or bend;
This memory spent with an angel,
Shall never ever know end...

To my prom date, Renee. I couldn't thank you enough.
Thanks for the nice scarlet corsage, and maroon handkerchief.
Glad that you had fun.
We all did.

And here's a toast, to the perfect date. Cheers.

2006-03-30T00:50:00.000+08:00

Everything, everything we've had, out of sight, out of mind, given that what I see when I dream, hurts like hell and back.

Been listening a lot of Switchfoot and Yellowcard lately. 2 of my favourites, each came out with their new album not too long ago. Every song in these albums, and I mean each and every one of them, hits a spot.

"I've been up late writing books, all about heroes and crooks" - Sure Thing Falling

"Left the ground, in black and white, and when the plane went down, the colours all around..." - Rough Landing, Holly

"And then you hear'em say, that miles away, we lost another that we sent with a gun" - Two Weeks From Twenty

"Son, I am not everything you though that I would be, but every story I have told is part of me..." - How I Go

Yellowcard's Lights and Sounds.

Yellowcard certainly grew up a bit since Ocean Avenue, with their unique style of violins backed by superb drumming and underlined with honest-political-emo lyrics. Not bound by their punk influences, they've made a few experiments with some jazz elements and orchestral feel, just the way I like it.

"Singing without tongues, screaming without lungs" - Lonely Nation

"Happy is a yuppy word, nothing in the world could fail me now..." - Happy Is A Yuppy Word

"War and love become pedantic, we wage love with a mistletoe" - Easier Than Love

"Pain, give yourself a name...call yourself contrition, avarice of blame" - Daisy

Switchfoot's Nothing Is Sound

Always loved them. This album is filled with songs that mostly mirror our hopes, fears, relationships and insecurities as such, nicely between major and minor keys. Beautiful lyrics and arrangements adds to the sweetness. Sheer beauty.

Nothing much done today, spent a few hours studying and drumming in YAC. Reflected in CG today...about the important things in our lives...and if God were to make us let go one of them, which one it will be the first to go...reflections are good, makes us grateful, haha.

To another day, another sunrise. Cheers.

Here's to the night we felt alive, here's to the tears you knew you'd cry, here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come too soon.

Woke up this morning smiling.
Saw you in my dreams.
That's all I needed, to smile.
Its been like what? 5 years since we first met?
You were the one that made me curious about Him, you know?
I was...intrigued, and I have you to thank now.
We had a lot of fun didn't we?
Days of youth and innocence.
See you everytime I hear this song.
You closed your door before I opened mine.
Nevertheless...you are happy now, and that was all that mattered.
Hopefully our paths will cross again...someday.
I've changed...I think. I heard that you did, too.
Someday...eh?

Here's a toast, to all those who hear me all to well...

Now, enough mushy stuff. Paper sucked. Didn't have enough time. It's not that easy to pen down thoughts after all. Oh well, what's done is done. Contemplating if I should get a haircut. Should I? To cut, or not to cut...that is the question.

Thats all I'm afraid. A toast, to you. Cheers.

Eve 6 - Here's To The Night

Of birthdays and a heart at bay...

2006-03-27T01:01:00.000+08:00

Singing without tongues, screaming without lungs.

First and foremost, a tribute to the one and only bassist of PG165, Mr Ng*ferfhuun~*Zhen*woi~*Xin! The gentle giant turned 22 and got a new baju for his new SX Series bass guitar. The man who taught me things, like "One man cannot hide 2 tigers, 2 hands cannot catch 4 balls" (say it in a Chinese accent), and has a passion for exotic pets (tarantulas, scorpions, geckos, hedgehogs, you name it). A toast to you, tai lou. Lets have more fhuun~.

And also to Miss Chee Su Be! The sweet Penangite lass turns 21! Behind that heart melting smile and honey-sweet face is a lady with a sense of humour, I tell you. Totally the best impersonator of Seong. Haha. The Lord bless you, Suubeeuuubeeuu. =D

"Grateful"...basically sums up today. Drummed for Chinese service, was good. Had a few flops here and there but then again, still striving. Nothing like the feeling of playing a part to bring God's people together in worship. Content.

In 12 hours time I'll be taking my Constitutional Law paper. Studied yet remembered nuts, how? 2 words: Good game.

Had fun. Cheers.

Prologue

2006-03-26T01:23:00.000+08:00

I wished you would step back from that ledge my friend.

Scott Mallone - What We Are Made Of

In time I will show you I'm not leaving
That I will wait by here for your love
And God knows
What we are made of
And God knows
What we are afraid of

And if you cry
I will comfort you
I will save you
I will sacrifice my life
I will love you
For who you are
Not who you used to be

In time I will show you I'm still believing
I know that if you cry
I will come to you
I will save you
I will sacrifice my life
I will love you
For who you are
Not who you used to be

No matter where you are
I will be there for you
No matter who you are
I will be waiting
No matter where you are
I'm beside you
No matter who you are
I will love you.

A song that I fell in love with. It brought me to a thought that reminds me of His faithfulness. Still learning to breathe, trying not to be comfortable with whatever I have. Going deeper.
Tomorrow will be my debut on drums for worship in CCC's chinese service. Trully grateful for the opportunities to serve Him, to return the favour for the gift of salvation, a redemption if you may call it. Well, it's getting late. Tomorrow is, another day.

Cheers.
