This blog post is dedicated to Keegan Lee,a friend of mine who just passed away on Christmas day in a car accident.
I onli knew about it today through my friend,Johnny.I was shocked.I couldn't believe it.A good guy has gone to the afterlife.I've known Keegan since form1,which makes it 7 years now.He was a nice,smart,polite and some say,soft guy.He had ambitions like all of us.He studied hard for it but now he can't fulfill it.Such a terrible waste.
Johnny said it wasn't him who was drivin.But,fate has it's way.And there's nothin we can do but mourn his passin.I didn't speak to him much in school.Maybe because we were in different classes.But occasionally,we do chat.And he is a very nice guy to talk to.And he has lots of friends who are now sad that he has left.
Keegan,you're a nice friend.It's been nice knowing you.May you rest in peace..

CHRISTMAS!!!
Christmas is da best time of the year because of the jolly,merry atmosphere.It's most people's favourite time of the year.Not because of the gifts,of course.
CHRISTMAS EVE
Was invited to Timothy's Christmas Eve party in his house.Every year occasion.I got over to Johnny's house around 6.40pm to wait for Tim to fetch us.Lionel was there earlier.Johnny let us watch a stand-up comedian,RUSSELL PETERS.He was hilarious.Around 7 somethin,Tim arrived.He took us and picked up a few others and we arrived at his house around 8pm.The spread was fabulous.Sorry i didn't have pics to show.A waste i forgotten my digicam cuz i was in a hurry to go over to Johnny's house.Then,we had a Christmas song singing session.Everyone gathered at the hall and we started singing Christian songs.Silent night and all..
Tim's father is a good comedian himself.And Lionel was his victim of his cha-in tis time cuz Sebastian is in Sarawak.Sebastian kena last year.Hehehe..
Tim's dad is Alwin.So here's wat happened last year..
Alwin : U not tired,rite??
Seb : No..
Alwin : U noe where i stay,rite??
Seb : Ya..
Alwin : U hav my house phone number,rite??
Seb : Ya..
Alwin : If anythin happens...don't call me..
All of us stood there laughin.Tim's dad is cool.Funny guy.Verry funny.Got home around 2 somethin and went to bed.
CHRISTMAS
Nothin much in da morning.Slept and got up very late.Delivered da gifts i bought.At night,i had to go out wit relatives who came from Indonesia.Came home around 9 somethin.
Then,me and my dad went over to my neighbours house cuz we were invited by my neighbour for his Christmas dinner.Didn't eat much though cuz i had dinner.And this must be the first time i hear my dad say,"Amir,give him a can of beer la."Cool.Now i like Tiger beer too.Hehehe..
Then,me and Nigel went to his room to play some PS2 games.I got pawned in Winning Eleven.Well,i don't own a PS2,so i'm not familiar with the controls for the game.Went home around 2 somethin again and slept.
Well,dat's all for the occasion.Next stop : New Years Eve.

God vs Science
This was da title which is posted up on my friendster's buletin board.And frankly,this is a very interesting arguement.It's about a student who argues with his professor over the above title.Enjoy it..
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student : Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student :Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student : No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student : From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Hatred? Ugliness? Allthese terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student :Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student : No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student : No , sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted yourGod, smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable,demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student : No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, megaheat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir,just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.You can have low light, normal light, brightlight, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite,something we can measure.Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile,beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is a non-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen theProfessor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled it?.....No one appears to have done so.So, according to the established rules of empirical,stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures,sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it, sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
You know who this young man was ?

Fun???
Yesterday was just like any other day.Got up late,goofed off a while,played some games...the usual stuff.But in da afternoon,I went down to Midvalley on my own.Alone.Isn't dat fun???
Mum came home for lunch around 1.At 2pm,she dropped me off at da bus stop.Took da no.13 bus all da way down to Midvalley.Got there and went straight to MPH to look for a book on architectures.Wander around MPH lookin for da book.Found a good book but it was priced at RM98.Guess I have to come back the nex visit.Onli brought RM100 wit me.So if I were to get dat book,I wouldn't have to get back home.
Ended up readin comics there.Zits is so entertainin wen you're alone.Around 5pm,I left MPH and actually thought of watchin King Kong cuz from da review in Shawn's blog,it sounds damn nice.But,well,da idea of going to da movies alone was freaky.Maybe I'll go watch it nex week.So,I jus wandered around Midvalley til 6 sumthin pm.
Made my way to da KTM station and took a train to KL Central to change to another train going to Subang.At Central,my mum called.And tis was da conversation..
Mum : where are u now?
Me : still at central..gonna go on da train now..
Mum : huh???now onli goin on da train???
Me : ya..cuz all da fucking people behind me is fucking shoving me in now..

Yeah.Stupid fucking makcik and pakcik pushing and shoving me to get into da fucking train.Can't people wait???Goddamnit.Da fucking train is adi fucking there la pakcik.And he had a good sense to smile at me summore wen I was talkin to my mum on da phone.Stupid people.
Da rest of da day was jus plain simple.Wen home,ate dinner and played comp game again.
Well,dat's all for my fun day.Hope I'll have more fun days like tis if my assignments dun get in da way.
