Hopes and Dreams
I am a car nut. No denying. I love cars.
From time to time, when I need to relax or to get my mind off certain things, I like to just sit back, look through car websites or blogs and look at some of those super cars most of us can only DREAM of owning. Those of you with your Mercs and BMWs can also dream along.
And I would just dream to myself, which car would I own IF I have millions in my bank account. Sounds stupid? Maybe. But it's my day dream. Any complaints?
After going through some websites and even videos, I did make a conclusion on which supercar I'd own if I were a billionaire (millionaire also not enough). I won't get too technical on describing the car for the understanding of those who aren't car savvy.
I would own a Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren.
Yes. All RM4 million of it (rough estimation). There are a lot of great supercars out there but, if I were to choose, it would be this baby here. The SLR is the fastest automatic car in the world.
Like all Mercedes, the SLR is built for performance with style and class in mind. The body of the SLR is made out of carbon fibre, which is a composite that is very very strong and very very light compared to steel but it's also 3 times more expensive than steel. This makes the SLR safer than almost any sports or sedan cars in the market as the composite can absorb about 4 to 5 times more impact compared to steel.
The SLR is powered by a 617-horsepower supercharged 5.5 litre V8 engine which rockets the SLR from zero to 97km per hour in less than 3.8 seconds and can exceed a top speed of 320km per hour.
The thing with the SLR is that it's a fully automatic transmission as compared to most supercars which uses a manual transmission. An automatic gearbox is always heavier than a manual and to reduce weight, most supercars would go for a manual. But on our busy roads in Malaysia, controlling a manual in a luxury supercar would be funny, wouldn't it?
The SLR also uses ceramic brakes which has far more stopping power than any standard market brakes and is lighter as well. It can stop the SLR traveling at almost 195km per hour to stop within 3 seconds. Then it catches fire if you overuse it. The use of an air brake at the rear helps to reduce the speed as well.
In conclusion, this is a supercar that clearly shouts out performance and luxury. And by far, this is a supercar that has gotten less complaints compared to other supercars such as Ferrari. The guys at Top Gear took this car across 8 countries and it has shown comfort and reliability all the way compared to complaints by them while traveling in a Ferrari. It's also no harder to understand than operating a vacuum cleaner.
The SLR 722 Special Edition is about RM5 million (estimated) and can go from 0-100 in 3 seconds, 0-200 in 8.6 seconds and 0-300 in 23.5 seconds. In half a minute, anyone chasing you, even police, will just vanish into the horizon.
Screw owning few BMWs or Mercs, this would be the first car I would own IF I'm a billionaire. Pray hard. lol
Here's a video of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Guys who have good stereo speakers, turn the volume up and listen to the engine's sound.

Doing the Harrier
On Sunday after church and lunch, some of us went down to Low Yat and Times Square to help Tim to get his new personal computer.
We all went down to Jalan Imbi and 'decided' to park at Times Square.
We went up floor after floor looking for a parking spot. And after about 3 floors up, we were starting to get frustrated that it was quite full. Then we saw a Toyota Harrier with all 4 of its tyres parked up a curb. We went up further and still couldn't find a spot and saw others who did the same like the Harrier did and thus we named that parking manuever "Doing the Harrier".
Floor after floor and we still can't find a parking spot.
Rueben L : Eh, just do the Harrier la.
Everyone : Apa do the Harrier? Suspension spoil.
Rueben L : Can take it wan la.
Timothy : Cannot la. So many people.
When we got up to floor 8A
Everyone : So many parking spots here.
Rueben L : Ya man. Okay, lets do the Harrier.
Everyone : LOL *sides hurting*
Sakai people.

Work vs College
A lot of people and friends keep asking me; do I prefer working or studying?
Most of you would say you prefer still being in college because of the freedom. Well, that's true if you're in a course which just requires studying or if you work for a hectic advertising industry.
Frankly, I'm quite tired of answering the same type of question over and over again. So for those of you who PLAN to ask me this question, my answer is I prefer working now. Especially for my job. Here's the reason why:
1. When I'm at work, I'm at work. I only have my things to do when I'm there. And after work, I can come home, kick back, watch movie or tv or sleep super early if I want to. Thinking about work is just one small part. But I won't have to stay up all night finishing it....yet. Not the same can be said for college assignments.
2. I have my weekend strictly to relax and do things I wanna do. I don't have to worry that my assignment or project isn't done and whether it's due on monday morning.
3. I still have the same freedom I do in college. Anytime after 6pm at least. But I can deal with that.
4. I get paid.
5. I have paid leave and other company advantages.
6. I don't have sleepless nights thinking of ideas needed for projects.
Well, these are just a few reasons. If I can think of more, I'll update it. But these are basically why I choose the working life over college life. It may be fun and relaxing in college (possibly. yea right) but I don't find it any more different from working. Except when I work, I have my nights all to myself.
Anybody got a question?

Hmmmm...
Thank God I didn't get lost in Kepong. No offense to Kepong-ites (*ahem* Shawn and Ben) but I think I really hate some of the roads and road signs there and also some of the traffic lights. Damn effin' confusing.
Why so serious???? (you know the title) Didn't disappoint.
I think I'm really grateful to have a friend whom I've sort of been dating for the past 3 years. Well, not really dating, but if you put into context, sort of go out alone frequently. All throughout college life and even now. And it's really nice just going out with her, catching a movie or a meal, talk about almost anything, accompany her clothes shopping (and she even accompanied me for my clothes shopping before), being quite close to her and yet, not worry about being romantically attracted to her. Somehow, being with her is just plain fun and relaxing and we can just tease each other about anything but not worry about falling for each other. Her having a bf is one reason but, hey, feelings still can develop if it wants to, right?
There are a few times when we bumped into friends while we're out and they thought we're together. Even other people will look at us and thought we're actually together (impossible though).
It's so nice and comfortable having this sort of friend. although I pay for almost everything when I go out with her.
But I don't mind.
My movie-mate.

That Girl
Oh, tonight I'm feeling fine
I'm alone, just wasting time
No Friday movie nights
Or romantic candle lights
I'm just having conversations
With the thoughts in my head
All I hear are angels crying
Oh, won't they just sing instead
It would be wrong for me to say
(Chorus)
I don't need that girl by my side
I don't need that girl in my life
I don't want to talk it out
Or hold her when she cries
I don't want to say she's my kind
I don't want to say that she's mine
I don't want to tell her that
I love her more than life
More than life, Yeah
Love her more than life
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Honestly, this won't do
How is she doing?
I tell myself I'm feeling swell
But I know I'm such a fool
I could take it as a new beginning
But you know I don't feel that way
Who will take all this pain away?
I know it's wrong for me to say
(Chorus)
Talk about a sin
Was the day I walked into the other side
I would run back in
I wouldn't waste no time
I know it's wrong for me to say
(Chorus)
I'm alone, just wasting time
No Friday movie nights
Or romantic candle lights
I'm just having conversations
With the thoughts in my head

Today today today...okay,now yesterday.
Glad to know that I could claim all my traveling, parking and toll expenses from my company due to training all the way in Sri Hartamas. Thank God for that. Took a toll on my bank account just paying for petrol which is about RM232 spent in 2 weeks.
CEO agreed to get me my own office personal computer.
Won't have to travel all the way to Segambut tomorrow to fetch someone. Another reason to thank God. (hope you're not reading this. lol)
Had some cake and 2 glasses of wine down at Glass Solution because of an employee's birthday.
Going back to teach taekwondo again later today after missing for dunno how long.
G'nite.

What the.....
Recently, this one girl added me on Messenger. I didn't recognize the e-mail and thought it was someone I know since I don't give away my e-mail address for the fun of it. So yesterday, I decided to question her.
Chris : may I know who's this?
Angel : Angel lurr
Chris : err...I don't know any friend named Angel
Angel : now meh friend lo (don't ask me...hard to understand)
Chris : can I have your real name?
Angel : Angel Chia On Kee
Chris : how did you get my msn email?
Angel : 4got
What the heck, right? And she's only 17. sigh. But after some questioning and some mystery solving, i found out that she's actually a friend of someone I knew 2 years ago when I was facilitating an "after PMR" leadership camp organised for chinese secondary schools by my college. And this 2 girls are all the way in Sabah.
Worse part is that this girl starts asking if I'M MARRIED or if I have a girlfriend. What the hell?? Do I sound that old that I'm already married??? *faints*
But still don't understand why my friend gave her my MSN address.
Gonna question more.

Being weird
I think I'm starting to be a little weird.
Why?
I somehow wished I had my friend's bf's problem.
About my friend complaining he doesn't spend enough time with her.
Sweat, right?
I know.
That's why I said I'm being weird.

Song
Have been looking for this chinese singer and this song and finally found it after much intensive searching. And now, quite addicted to it. The song is really nice.
His name is Yoga Lin (Lin You Jia) and the name of the song is Shen Mi Jia Bing (Mystery Guest). Lyrics were quite deep though even after translated to english.
The music video is quite nice too though. The girl is quite cute. lol
His face is a little expressionless when he sings. lol
One thing I like about chinese songs compared to english is that chinese song lyrics are mostly metaphorical. It's not just straight-forward telling you the message.

Sunny Sunday? Yea right...it rained
Don't even wanna mention my morning.
Had bible studies with Pastor Chris though.
Let's skip.
Sunday afternoon.
Met up with Jinqyi and Eveen at Pyramid for lunch. Had Subway with them. As usual, I'm not a guy of pictures, so there aren't any available.
Then, went for a movie with Jinqyi. Watched Hellboy II The Golden Army. Not bad. Recommended to watch...at least once. Actually, had been a long time since I watched movie with her. She used to be my kaki movie when I had no one to go with. But she moved to Kepong recently. Still good of her to come all the way down via public transport to watch with me....although because she actually came down to meet and have lunch with Eveen. and possibly shopping =( Hmph. Nah, she invited me because she was supposed to go catch a movie with me on Wednesday night but she couldn't because of overtime at work.
Had some hot milo at Uncle Lim's after movie because someone was freezing in the cinema and didn't bring a sweater or jacket and me with only one t-shirt on =p Chat a little about current stuffs and found that we had a lot to catch up on. Unfortunately, whole sit-down only concentrated on one subject.
When we were leaving and I offered to give her a lift to the KTM, she wanted to use the toilet. Silly girl went into the men's toilet instead. Luckily no men were inside. Only one standing outside staring at her and laughing. XD Should have taken a photo of it.
Coming home, I couldn't control my tear ducts again. sigh. Not gonna mention it here.
That's all. Over and out.

Recap
This week was kind of better than last week.
Been having training for New Product Development design with an experienced glass designer in our sister company called Glass Solution, all the way in Sri Hartamas. But I have to say, most of the things taught were things I've acquired from the designer here at Glaspak. Makes not much difference with just some extra info to update me. But they were fun and so was the company's CEO. They would have some food and wine for those of us who attended the training.
And the CEO barged into the office yesterday, saying that he wants a conference table in our office area. And suddenly, turned to me and say........
"I want a proper, bigger table for him also. He's a designer. He needs his space. I want a proper workplace for him.", says the boss to an office furniture provider.
=)
Tuesday night, after dinner, went over to Sri Bidara to meet up with some youth church members for a drinks and supper session, or you may call it yumcha session. Was fun. Sorry, no photos available. We were having drinks with our ex youth pastor and now head pastor of a church in Damansara. Been a while since we had drinks and chat with him. Or at least, for me.
Sarah, Xin Wei and Samantha were having their funny moments as always and snapping their cameras away. The rest were either talking or watching tv there where it was showing WWE RAW.
After drinks, Johnny, Tim, Sarah, Jimmy, Melissa, Samantha and I headed over to Racks for some rounds of good ol' pool. Been a while since we went there unlike last year where almost every week after cell group we would go there. Miss those times. But everyone's getting busier and busier and more and more of us are starting to work. Not so young anymore, are we?
But it was fun. Beat Johnny twice in playing 9 ball. And Samantha, who's trying this for the first time, didn't do bad either. She at least 'touched' the correct balls with the cue ball. And sank one or 2 balls. LOL Pity her, she got a little confused when a few of us were teaching different methods to play because, everyone does it almost differently. The way we stand, the way we aim, the way we position our hand to aim, etc etc. But it was a good night nontheless.
Now, back to work =p

Random Feelings
Don't know why I woke up so early today and lay on my bed for more than 3 hours before getting up to prepare for work.
So much things going through my mind.
My head feels like blowing up with all the thoughts running through.
My heart is aching.
The song I placed on my blog just a week ago finally played on the national radio. Was kinda tired of listening to it after consecutively listening to it for a whole week on my Winamp.
sigh.
Never felt so crappy in my whole life.
I want everything solved and done as soon as possible. Don't wanna keep thinking about all this anymore.

My Big Baby
I have a big baby on my hands.
She's beautiful.
She's fair.
She's fine.
Her voice is pure bliss.
I love her a lot.
Gone to so much trouble just to get her. Lots of arguement and problems along the way. She was out of my reach but now, she's in my arms. And I've not regretted it.......yet. But don't think I will. If you're thinking about something else, you're wrong. I'm talking about my new Taylor Big Baby Guitar. Finally acquired her last night. And my, was she a beautiful looking and sounding machine. The tone. That body. That neck. And the fact that she's a Taylor sums it all.
Taylor Big Baby
Right now, I'm going to learn to play her. To touch her. To make her sing for me when and where I want her to. I will have better photo shots of her another day.
So, one problem down. Not TOO pissed off today. Still got other things pissing me off. Like for example, f***ing MSN while I'm at work. All my bloody messages just won't get through. Pisses me off when I have an urgent message to send out and it keeps failing to send and bounces back to me.
Won't be in such a good mood. Behind the fake smile and laughter lies a person controlling his anger and frustration.
BAH.
She's beautiful.
She's fair.
She's fine.
Her voice is pure bliss.
I love her a lot.
Gone to so much trouble just to get her. Lots of arguement and problems along the way. She was out of my reach but now, she's in my arms. And I've not regretted it.......yet. But don't think I will. If you're thinking about something else, you're wrong. I'm talking about my new Taylor Big Baby Guitar. Finally acquired her last night. And my, was she a beautiful looking and sounding machine. The tone. That body. That neck. And the fact that she's a Taylor sums it all.
Taylor Big Baby
Right now, I'm going to learn to play her. To touch her. To make her sing for me when and where I want her to. I will have better photo shots of her another day.
So, one problem down. Not TOO pissed off today. Still got other things pissing me off. Like for example, f***ing MSN while I'm at work. All my bloody messages just won't get through. Pisses me off when I have an urgent message to send out and it keeps failing to send and bounces back to me.
Won't be in such a good mood. Behind the fake smile and laughter lies a person controlling his anger and frustration.
BAH.

Bad Feng Shui
I hate the everyday routine.
Every morning, it never fails to jam up in USJ and Subang Jaya area. I can leave my house half and hour til forty minutes early and still arrive at work late when the ACTUAL journey is only about 15 minutes or less (whether I choose to speed or drive casually). Wth. Something will always come up to cause the miserable and irritating traffic jam. Even the single lane leading to the Subang Airport road is jammed because some bloody buggers just HAD to use it to cut back out to Federal Highway AT THE LAST FREAKING POSSIBLE MOMENT. Miserable maggots.
And I HATE feng shui.
It's so irritating to be doing a design and it having to be subjected to the approval of a FREAKING feng shui master. What the heck la. I'm a bloody designer who looks at design and how it can be comfortable to the eyes of another person. I DON'T FREAKING CARE ABOUT FENG SHUI. I, for one, am not superstitious. I'll live life the way I see fit so long as I'm within my limits. I don't CARE how I would go around placing furnitures and things. As long as I like it, who else has a say to question what I like?
And if they like to subject designs to feng shui so much, go ask the feng shui master to design the freaking logo and etc la. Won't need to be approved also since it won't really go unchallenged.
And I so hate having to decide on things.
One minute, I'm thinking of when I can afford to get a guitar I so long wanted. Next minute, a blessing came upon me in the form of my parents, willing to buy the guitar for me. And now, there's a guitar I REAAAAAAAAALY want.
The upside is, it used to be way over my budget but a friend found a contact who's selling it cheap and almost my budget area plus gig bag and all. The downside is, there's only one more of it in stock and it's selling fast. Plus, the person funding it isn't going to disperse the budget for me in such a short period of time.
I really wanted the Taylor Big Baby but circumstances really isn't allowing me to. And I may just fall back to getting a Simon & Patrick Woodland Spruce. It may not be as good as the Big Baby but it's the lesser of two evils.
Sigh.
I hate these types of unnecessary problems.
And I'm downright pissed off right now.

Heaven Knows
Have you ever cried yourself over a decision you had to make?
I did.
Right now, words can't really describe what I really feel inside. Words can merely explain how it seems to feel but it could never really describe the details of it. Feelings are complicated that way. Only my own heart and God knows how I feel. But what else can I do if my decision makes the person I love happy? Is there any other way? Loving someone is to do anything possible to see that person happy no matter how much it hurts you.
Since the decision has been made, I would try to make the best of it. Maybe it's a start over. A reset button. To try it all over again. Try not making the same mistakes I did. She may not be as close to me now as she was a mere month ago. How things can change in such a short time. And I pray that she will be with me again someday. A little too much to hope for? Or should I be like some of my friends who had given up on love?
Maybe this time around, I should be more ignorant to a lot of things. Just pretend I didn't know or I simply couldn't care less. Would it help?
I dunno. I dunno. I dunno.
*rhymes with 'dear dear dear'*
*strums guitar, singing Heaven Knows*

Trademark - Only Love
2 a.m. and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me
But only love can say - try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do
In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, if we learn to trust
[Chorus]
I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dream just one more chance
Don't let this be our last goodbye
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind

The sun will shine one day

Face to face and a thousand miles apart

If we give enough, if we learn to trust

Tony Rich Project - Nobody Knows It But Me
Yeah
Wish I told her how I feel
Maybe she'd be here right now
But instead
I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls close in more everyday
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
Now I'm cryin' inside
And nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a-tumblin' down
I can see it so clearly
But you're nowhere around
The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me
I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
Now I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm tremblin' inside, and nobody knows it but me
I lie awake, its a quarter past three
I'm screamin' at night
As if I thought you'd hear me
Yeah my heart is callin' you
And nobody knows it but me
How blue can I get
You could ask my heart
But like a jigsaw puzzle its been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now you know I'll be lovin' you still
Tomorrow morning I'll hit the dusty road
Gonna find you wherever, ever you might go
I'm gonna unload my heart
And hope you come back to me
Wish I told her how I feel
Maybe she'd be here right now
But instead
I pretend that I'm glad you went away
These four walls close in more everyday
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me
Like a clown I put on a show
The pain is real even if nobody knows
Now I'm cryin' inside
And nobody knows it but me
Why didn't I say
The things I needed to say

Daily Juice
Dunno why, of all days which I don't have to work, I got up at 8am in the morning. Everyone knows I'm not a morning person. But I just got up........to the sound of someone's message ringing. Lol
Anyway, first agenda of the day was going around with Tim, Kevin and Johnston to look at some guitars at Uptown and Damansara area. I am soooo out of touch with the world of guitars. Can't really tell the difference between a good sounding guitar and a normal sounding guitar. But the guitars were so nice. *drool* But sadly, I'm on a budget. If not...........
Second agenda of the day was meeting up with Jennifer and her friends in Times Square. Haven't seen her for ages except for chatting with her online. And a rare occasion to catch her while she's down in KL. Spent the day with her and her girlfriends walking around while they shop. From Times Square til Pavilion. Oooh...my aching feet. Lol. Just kidding. And this is the first time I experience following real shopaholics.
They sweep across retail stores just as fast as a swarm of locusts across a corn field. Hahaha...so evil. Just kidding le.
Chris :Hmmm...this pants material looks like........
Jenn :Carpet?
Chris :Yea..sort of.
Jenn :Uh huh
Chris :So if someone wears this and sits and scoots around on a carpet, she can electrocute someone
Jenn :Lol.
See, I so good give you blue since you like that colour. Hahaha. For those who don't understand why I said "can electrocute someone", go study more science about creating static.
The last agenda for the day was going to Jogoya (it's Jogoya, pa. Not Gojoya) for my sister's early birthday dinner treat. It's a buffet style restaurant which serves mostly oriental but also some western cuisines. For the price (RM100+ per person) I'd say it's worth it. The selection of food would spoil you. Not to even mention their choices of desserts and ice cream. They give you Haagen Daz and Baskin Robbins, okay. Don't play play. Not some cheapo ice cream brand you can't even find. For those who are thinking of going for a buffet dinner, able and willing to spend to get good varieties and have not tried Jogoya at Starhill, it's high time you did. I used to like the buffet restaurant at Sunway Hotel. But after this, I found a new haven to commit the sin of gluttony. Lol.
So now, I'm tired and full. Perfect formula to sleep, eh.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..............................

I don't feel like I wanna talk or think of you for the time being.
We never just talk things out. And when you have things you wanna spill out, you spill it to someone else. And I dunno what you're actually feeling or thinking.
I don't wanna cause you anymore unhappiness for now.
Sigh. Gonna need some people to keep me company for the time being. *ahem*
You know who you are. LOL
Thanks to those who gave me advise, tried comforting me and telling me things will be alright. Appreciate it a lot. Especially you, bro, who called me all the way from Aus.
Song Verse of the Day
What about now?
What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late,
What about now?
Wish I can play this song on a guitar now and let my emotions run free.

Strum it!!
For quite some time I've been meaning to get myself a new acoustic guitar and start learning how to play again. It always seems cool that most of the people around me can play it and I too want to be able to soothe myself with my own music.
It's been 7 years since I last played and learn so it's gonna be a little slow for me. My fingers are now stiff and no longer fast in switching chords. Hope someone can teach me how to play it again *nudges Tim and Johnston*
I've been speaking to someone who has lots of experience playing to give me suggestions for some low range, good quality guitar. I'm on a budget but I also require quality. Something within RM1500, maybe?
Here's some recommendation and some I found on my own (may not fit my budget but it sure looks cool)
Fender CD140SCE
Fender CD60SCE
Fender California Models Kingman SCE and Sonoran SCE
Epiphone AJ200SCE
Norman B20
I'm also partly doing this for someone.
Anyone else has any other recommendations or comments on these guitars? Do let me know.

Love Education
Love (according to the Oxford dictionary)
- warm liking or affection;sexual passion; loved person; (in games) no score; nil.
Love (according to Wikipedia)
- Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.
- The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love - from WikiAnswers
1. Love differs from heart to heart, love can be good and can be bad. To love and be loved is the perfect ingredients to happiness but to love and not be loved will be a darkness in your soul. Being in love is like a drop of water after years of drought, it eases your souls agonies of life. Being in love is a feeling not all humans will experience. So if you have it cherish...just love it.
2. Love has never been defined since man began, so we have to use our own hearts and minds to decide. Love isn't all about looking at a good looking woman/man and hearing fireworks go off all the time. That's usually physical attraction, but it's normal at the beginning of our relationship. Love is respect, wanting to help that person in any aspect of their lives; protect them from harm's way; knowing that each other will be there 100%; feeling safe with that person; proud of being with them; sharing your hopes and dreams together; and my favorite ... feeling like you can conquer the world together! Knowing you will be together no matter what and continue on until the day you pass away. Now that's love to me!
3. Well I'm only 15 but from my opinion of love I just look at my boyfriend and I as a perfect example. Well, sometimes we argue and fight but no matter what we always find some kind of way to make up. If you love someone then you trust them, you can count on them when you need them most. Fine things mean nothing but time means everything. You should be able to tell each other everything. If you never argue then that's not love. And there really is no true definition of love because everyone feels different about the person they love. You can't just speak for everyone because what I was reading didn't make since to me and this was coming from Adults. But like i said i use me and my boyfriend as the perfect example of love in my eyes. We broke up and went back together 7x in one year and we've been together for 2 years. Right now we having our differences but believe me we will talk about this and be okay again because no one or nothing is gonna come in our way of love and no one or nothing will ever separate us.
4. Love is opening up to a person enough for them to destroy you, while trusting completely that they will not. (me like this quote)
I think I need more education on the above mentioned subject. What should be said, what should be done, etc etc etc.
Would those of you who are more experienced in this leave your comment and educate me further? Even for things you think I MAY know.
But please don't go telling me to treat my baby like a slave. Ain't gonna happen.
So, go ahead. Leave your comments. Educate me, please.
ps. This is NOT a post for you to tell your grandfather grandmother stories about what happened to your bf or gf. It's to know what love means to different people. Til now, there is no one single definition.

Oh so BORED.
For this 2 days (Thursday & Friday) I will be and am extremely bored sitting in the office.
Although I get to play computer games on my laptop or listen to songs.
But that's not the point. My bosses and some of the staff are overseas in Bangkok and did not leave any instructions or things to be completed within these 2 days. So, I'm practically just sitting there the whole day, waiting for lunch hour to arrive and after lunch, waiting to go home.
Sigh.
Oh. And I get to blog from my office. But it's so early in the day and nothing has happened yet. What the hell am I going to blog about??
Maybe I should just sleep there. No CCTV cameras to capture the moment.
Oh, and about the blog name thing, I've been meaning to change it since.....I lost count. So now it has been changed. It has a new name and a new blog address. Those of you who had linked me and STILL wish to continue reading my blog, do update your link.
And congrats to you if you DID manage to get to this blog in the first place. LOL

For a long time I've liked Bon Jovi's songs. Their classic rock rocks (pardon the pun) and some of the songs are preppy and some hits me at the right spots.
Bon Jovi
"Open All Night"
I saw you coming from a mile away
Trying to hide behind that pretty face
Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue
Last thing you need's another pickup line
You must have heard them all a thousand times
God only knows what you been through
Believe me I've been broken too
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I've been around that block a time or two
[Chorus:]
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
I got your taste in the back of my mouth
I want to reach in and pull it out
And I'd be lying if I didn't say
When you're this close I'm afraid
Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair
The way I'll miss you when you're not there
And that I'll see you when I close my eyes
It's too late, I've crossed that line
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I'll still be around come closing time
[Chorus:]
[Guitar solo]
It's 2 am, it's last call, baby.
The barkeep's gone, I'll walk you home now
Save me, baby
[Chorus:]
"You Had Me From Hello"
At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I can't see nothing wrong
To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
It's half past eight, it's getting late
It's OK, take your time
Standing here my hands in my pockets
Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life
[Chorus:]
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone
Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
You just smile and steal the show
You come to me and take my hand
We start dancin' slow
You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low
[Chorus:]
And when you're laying down beside me
I feel your heartbeat to remind me...
[Chorus:]
From hello
From hello
I'm extremely bored now. Waiting for lunch only. LOL
Bon Jovi
"Open All Night"
I saw you coming from a mile away
Trying to hide behind that pretty face
Bet my last dollar baby you been bruised
Poor little heart all black 'n' blue
Last thing you need's another pickup line
You must have heard them all a thousand times
God only knows what you been through
Believe me I've been broken too
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I've been around that block a time or two
[Chorus:]
Baby, I don't want to fall in love with you
I try, try, try but I can't get around the truth
Please don't say my name, give this heart a break
I don't want to make the same mistake but it's too late
I'll leave on the light
These arms are open all night
I got your taste in the back of my mouth
I want to reach in and pull it out
And I'd be lying if I didn't say
When you're this close I'm afraid
Of the way I'll feel if I touch your hair
The way I'll miss you when you're not there
And that I'll see you when I close my eyes
It's too late, I've crossed that line
It aches, it breaks, it takes your breath away
I'll still be around come closing time
[Chorus:]
[Guitar solo]
It's 2 am, it's last call, baby.
The barkeep's gone, I'll walk you home now
Save me, baby
[Chorus:]
"You Had Me From Hello"
At the mirror you fix your hair and put your makeup on
You're insecure about what clothes to wear
I can't see nothing wrong
To me you look so beautiful when you can't make up your mind
It's half past eight, it's getting late
It's OK, take your time
Standing here my hands in my pockets
Like I have a thousand times
Thinking back it took one breath
One word to change my life
[Chorus:]
The first time I saw you it felt like coming home
If I never told you I just want you to know
You had me from hello
When we walk into a crowded room it's like we're all alone
Everybody tries to kidnap your attention
You just smile and steal the show
You come to me and take my hand
We start dancin' slow
You put your lips up to my ear and whisper way down low
[Chorus:]
And when you're laying down beside me
I feel your heartbeat to remind me...
[Chorus:]
From hello
From hello

"When You Look Me In The Eyes"
If the heart is always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone,
I'll never make it on my own
Dreams can't take the place of loving you,
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true.
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.
More and more, I start to realize,
I can reach my tomorrow,I
can hold my head up high,
And it's all because you're by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When I hold you in my arms,
I know that it's forever.
I just gotta let you know,
I never wanna let you go.
When you look me in the eyes.
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,

When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,

I said I love you
I don't know why but no matter how many times I listen to this song, I still don't get tired of it.
It isn't anything great and it's just slow and not really singing.
I Said I Love You
Baby come to me
I will chase your tears away
Put your trust in me
Girl I swear Ill never change
Darling you will see
That my love is here to stay
I promise you, I will be true
From here and now, forever girl I
I said I love you
I said I care
When I tell you I love you
It means I always will be there
Ill never leave you
I ain't going nowhere
When I tell you I love you
Cross my heart I will be there
Open up your heart
Don't be afraid to love again
We can take it slow
You should know I understand
Baby take your time
And I don't care how long it takes
cause I promise you, I'm here for you
From here and now, forever girl I
Chorus
And I will be there
(and I will be there for you)
Forever sincere to you
(girl I'll always care for you)
I just wanna share my life with you
Right here, right now, forever girl I
Oh. And I'm blogging from work. LOL

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you.....the new blog post of 2008!
*audience clap* *cuts red string*
Remember the last time i said "finally back to blogging"?
Well,I'm going to say the same again now. It's kinda good to be back. A place for me to throw my inner feelings.
The last time I blogged was earlier this year and it's been 6 months now. As usual, lots of things happened along the way and there were ups and downs.
First of, my 'actual' years of being in TOA has finally ended. The sad part is, I still have a term and a subject to complete to obtain my diploma. sigh. Now I think i regret dropping the subject. But I didn't expect something.
Secondly, I got a job right after graduation exhibition. A company called me up for an interview and I got the job. That was the unexpected something. So now I'm dividing my time between studying and working.
Third, attended my first Church Camp at Fraser's Pine Resort. Had a fun time there and a good fellowship with my church members since I don't really know a lot of them yet. It was mostly wet up there and it's not as cold as I expected unless I got wet when it rains.

Finally back to blogging
Wow.It's been another long spell of laying off from blogging.
And boy do I have a lot of grandfather stories to write about.LOL
The New Year has just arrived and I bid farewell to a bitter 2007.And since it will be long,I think I'll just summarize the whole year's events in points.
1. Got into a relationship
2. Came out of a relationship
3. Excited about last year of college
4. Celebrated 21st birthday in TGI Fridays for the first time and I have to forget the memory
5. Started going for church cell and eventually service
6. Baptized in the spirit and found God's love
7. Rekindled with old friends a lot
8. Excited that Lionel has returned from Australia on holiday
9. Sakai-ed a lot with friends during the holidays
10. Found new friends
11. Celebrated Christmas for the 1st time with Christ in my heart
12. Attended a youth camp for the 1st time and it was awesome
13. Celebrated new year's eve countdown by not counting down for the 1st time
14. Watched movie during new year's eve countdown
15. Stressed out brain from college work
16. Found a hilarious comedian ventriloquist named Jeff Dunham
17. Gained weight (FINAAAALLLLIIIII!!!)
18. Had someone to celebrate Valentines with after about 4 years.
This would be the basic things that had happened during the past year.Some sweet memories and some bitter.Some meant to be kept and some forgotten.But mostly,there were loads of good memories which will be treasured for many years to come.
The best of all memories would be accepting Christ as my personal saviour.I've learned of God's love for men when He gave His only son.And as for why I accepted Christ,that's another long and deep story.But I'm glad I did and had not regretted it.
The highlight of the past year would mostly be being with friends.They're there when I need them and even when I don't need them,they're still there by my side.Those are true friends.Ones you can't buy with money and they're irreplaceable.
Therefore,not much regrets on my part for the past year and I hope the new year would be filled with new beginnings and new directions and new aims.
It kicks off with a camping trip organized by the Fifty Five Batch in college and I'm supposed to be resting now.LOL.Screw it.I sleep late always.
Til the next time I blog.

Restricted Area.Keep Out.
I recently found a website where we can check the rating (aka censorship board stuff) of our blogs.
The programme is kinda cool though but may throw you off balance a little.
The programme rates your blog based on these following words.
hurt (4x)
shit (2x)
crap (1x)
The more of these words you have,the worse your blog's rating will be.
And thus,my blog rating is...

So,imagine if I would to type this sentence in:
"Today,I fell down on the floor,scratched my elbow a little and got a weeetle blood.I got HURT."
BAMMM!!!
Sigh.
So sad.I'm a restricted content.

Joyful day and a LOL
Wow.
I finally experienced my first time being in a church cell group.And man,was it fun.
The songs were great (although I'm not a Christian,still can enjoy good songs,right?) and there were lots of laughter and jokes with people I've just been acquainted with.
Got along just fine and met a lot of really friendly and funny friends.
And when I got home,something made me laugh even louder than during cell group meeting.
It was a bulletin post posted by a certain someone regarding a true boyfriend.
It's not that I do not agree with the points stated in the bulletin post but rather,the person who was posting it.Such a laugh and a half for her to even be able to judge a true boyfriend.
She probably wouldn't notice or appreciate that person if he was standing in front of her 24/7.
Oh God,I'm still rolling on the floor because of it.

Goodbye
It seems I had misjudge the person who was supposed to take the most important seat in my life.Not misjudged in a good way but instead,in a bad way.
All my love life,I thought that being in love with someone is to give everything you've got in the relationship.I guess maybe I was wrong.Maybe not all girls appreciate it.Or maybe it's just one person.
I always said that being in a relationship requires effort and hardwork.Was I right or maybe I was just dreaming.Just my imagination of what is required of a relationship?Is it based on things other than understanding,love,care and tolerance?
When a loved one isn't assured,do we need to reassure them of the relationship or just let them ponder as they wish and start arguing if what imagination we have isn't all pleasant?Some people just give up when things take a slope and starts to get boring.Instead of saying "we should work things out and try to carry on", they say "I think it's best for YOU to let go."Yes,YOU.How sure are people that your partner wants to let go just yet?Have we even tried our part enough to assume the other half had had enough of it?
It's so ironic.And especially a person who listens to God's words to have Faith and to Forgive and Forget.We hear it a lot but somehow,some people never practice it.What a shame to God to have to preach His words to people who do not bother to follow.
I'm sorry that I've touched on religion but I really find these words to be some of the most meaningful words in my heart.Especially when it comes to relationship.And there,are some people who wrote a blog post on Love before,without even exploring and knowing the true meaning of it.
If given love is not appreciated,I shall simply take it back and give it to someone else who needs,appreciate and would keep it forever.I apologise to those of you who tried to give me faith and who told me to hold on and not give up hope.And thanks to Samantha who told me to follow my heart,although now,this isn't what my heart really wants.
Goodbye to you.
Tears won't even flow.

The best song during the pain...
Keith Urban - Tonight I wanna cry
Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and coulda been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away
I [have] never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
Would it help if I turned a sad song on
All by myself, [it] would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way
I [have] never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with this pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Emo emo emo....
Just yesterday, an old good friend of mine sent me an email. It was a touching story about how if you don't appreciate certain may-not-be-important-to-you-now person, he or she may just disappear one day and we would look back and regretted that we did not do anything while that person was still around.
Therefore, we have this word called appreciative or in chinese, we say "zen xi".
I find this word to be quite important to everyone because we all have something we love and cherish. But how far do we love and cherish it? How meaningful is this particular thing or person to you?
Some of us were borned with a silver spoon in our mouth and therefore, if something is lost, we would simply replace them. That is untrue for the lower class people. We have to cherish everything we have because everything is sweat and tears. And sometimes even burst blood vessels.
But take people for example. How much do you appreciate the people around you? The people that are in your life. Your loved ones and your family. What have you done for them that, if they ever leave, you would think you had actually done enough while they are around. These are the things we have to ask ourselves now and then. Had I done all I can? Had I gone out of my way to do something for that person? Did I ever push myself to do everything imaginable?
These are things only we ourselves can answer because it's not up to people to say what is enough. In this world, nothing is ever good enough for anyone anymore. But we are all human and we have our limits. But how far have we pushed that limit? God did not set a limit for us. We often limit ourselves. To give up is to lose everything. That is why some of us continued to push on although sometimes it's gone wasted. Like a motivational saying goes and I still find it quite true. "Reach for the sky and may you fall down to the clouds". We always say try our best. But how far is our best?
When we appreciate a relationship, we try to go the extra mile. How many of us are happy just to hear from our loved ones everyday? Would people even bother to ask and show concern if we do not have feelings for our other half? How far have you gone to make your loved ones happy? To make them smile and laugh. To brighten up their day. That is how we know how much the other person cherishes us. These are things where you don't even need to ask and is normally done willingly. It makes us feel safe and loved knowing someone cares and someone appreciates the things we do. Most of us aren't by our loved one's side 24/7 and so we always want to know what is going on in their part of life. We aren't psychic and therefore we can't read what the other person is thinking and doing. That's why we have to find out. It's totally different from checking out what you're doing because we aren't interrogating. We are just asking. We just want to know your side of plans. This way, it also shows we do not have anything to hide. Everything is clear and open.
There are boyfriends and girlfriends out there who do not bother about their loved ones. I've heard a lot of sad stories where friends do not hear from their loved ones even for the extent of a few days. It's really sad. If it's so, why do we even want to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? To pass the time? A leaping stone? Just to ensure we're dated every weekend? It's someone for us to love and receive love from. Do unto others what you want others to do unto you, they always say. So if you want love and care, you have to give love and care as well. And the only way some of us do is to show our concerns and to be bothered about your loved ones.
Although sometimes it gets very routine, it's up to us to try to make it interesting. It's how we do it. Whether for ourselves or for our loved ones, we try. Days aren't always the same and there are certain things we can reveal.
Being in a relationship is a step above friends. That's why when people ask, we always say "can we take it a step higher?" Being with a loved one, we should be able to share more intimate things dat we may not share with friends. Personal agenda or even simple things like what went on while we aren't around. You could even rant if you need to. But all this would let us know that we are trusted and we know things that has happened. That is how much it means to us.
Just to get a message of "taken lunch already?" is also very comforting. To know that someone IS thinking of you. Loving you. Caring for you. Isn't that why we ask? If a loved one isn't at the top of our mind, then who are they to us really? Then you have to question if you really love that person. Some people tend to try so hard to get into a relationship. But after it succeeds, we tone down so much. Where's the enthusiasm? The spirit? The love? Things shouldn't tone down. It should get more and more interesting because this person is now closer to you. You should be able to say more things because that person won't mind anymore. That's how some people can maintain a relationship for so long up until they get married and grow old together.
Yes!! That is a long way. And it is possible. There are friends that can maintain a relationship for so long too. It's how they do it. It's a lot of tolerance, a massive amount of hardwork and effort on both sides to keep a huge ball rolling continuously. Once it starts, better keep a little effort everytime to ensure it doesn't stop. Then it would be easy. But once it starts to slow down and eventually stop, then the whole process has to be resetted. Sometimes with a different partner.
That's the way our parents stayed together for so long. They don't do it based on wishes and promises. Vows taken don't really mean anything without any continuous hardwork and effort. They actually worked on it. It's the only way and there are no shortcuts to it.
I remember there was a situation once in my household that almost forced my parents to break up. But they worked on it and now, happily ever after. It takes 2 hands to clap. One hand won't even make the slightest sound.
Therefore, we all have to be thankful to God to unite us with someone. Without Him, we would all be single til the day we die because it's not arranged for us to be. But if it can start, it should be able to go on. Stand by your loved one's side no matter what happens and always, always, always be thankful and appreciate the people in your life. Love is something strong if you believe in it.
You'll never know what you've lost until it's gone.
Therefore, we have this word called appreciative or in chinese, we say "zen xi".
I find this word to be quite important to everyone because we all have something we love and cherish. But how far do we love and cherish it? How meaningful is this particular thing or person to you?
Some of us were borned with a silver spoon in our mouth and therefore, if something is lost, we would simply replace them. That is untrue for the lower class people. We have to cherish everything we have because everything is sweat and tears. And sometimes even burst blood vessels.
But take people for example. How much do you appreciate the people around you? The people that are in your life. Your loved ones and your family. What have you done for them that, if they ever leave, you would think you had actually done enough while they are around. These are the things we have to ask ourselves now and then. Had I done all I can? Had I gone out of my way to do something for that person? Did I ever push myself to do everything imaginable?
These are things only we ourselves can answer because it's not up to people to say what is enough. In this world, nothing is ever good enough for anyone anymore. But we are all human and we have our limits. But how far have we pushed that limit? God did not set a limit for us. We often limit ourselves. To give up is to lose everything. That is why some of us continued to push on although sometimes it's gone wasted. Like a motivational saying goes and I still find it quite true. "Reach for the sky and may you fall down to the clouds". We always say try our best. But how far is our best?
When we appreciate a relationship, we try to go the extra mile. How many of us are happy just to hear from our loved ones everyday? Would people even bother to ask and show concern if we do not have feelings for our other half? How far have you gone to make your loved ones happy? To make them smile and laugh. To brighten up their day. That is how we know how much the other person cherishes us. These are things where you don't even need to ask and is normally done willingly. It makes us feel safe and loved knowing someone cares and someone appreciates the things we do. Most of us aren't by our loved one's side 24/7 and so we always want to know what is going on in their part of life. We aren't psychic and therefore we can't read what the other person is thinking and doing. That's why we have to find out. It's totally different from checking out what you're doing because we aren't interrogating. We are just asking. We just want to know your side of plans. This way, it also shows we do not have anything to hide. Everything is clear and open.
There are boyfriends and girlfriends out there who do not bother about their loved ones. I've heard a lot of sad stories where friends do not hear from their loved ones even for the extent of a few days. It's really sad. If it's so, why do we even want to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? To pass the time? A leaping stone? Just to ensure we're dated every weekend? It's someone for us to love and receive love from. Do unto others what you want others to do unto you, they always say. So if you want love and care, you have to give love and care as well. And the only way some of us do is to show our concerns and to be bothered about your loved ones.
Although sometimes it gets very routine, it's up to us to try to make it interesting. It's how we do it. Whether for ourselves or for our loved ones, we try. Days aren't always the same and there are certain things we can reveal.
Being in a relationship is a step above friends. That's why when people ask, we always say "can we take it a step higher?" Being with a loved one, we should be able to share more intimate things dat we may not share with friends. Personal agenda or even simple things like what went on while we aren't around. You could even rant if you need to. But all this would let us know that we are trusted and we know things that has happened. That is how much it means to us.
Just to get a message of "taken lunch already?" is also very comforting. To know that someone IS thinking of you. Loving you. Caring for you. Isn't that why we ask? If a loved one isn't at the top of our mind, then who are they to us really? Then you have to question if you really love that person. Some people tend to try so hard to get into a relationship. But after it succeeds, we tone down so much. Where's the enthusiasm? The spirit? The love? Things shouldn't tone down. It should get more and more interesting because this person is now closer to you. You should be able to say more things because that person won't mind anymore. That's how some people can maintain a relationship for so long up until they get married and grow old together.
Yes!! That is a long way. And it is possible. There are friends that can maintain a relationship for so long too. It's how they do it. It's a lot of tolerance, a massive amount of hardwork and effort on both sides to keep a huge ball rolling continuously. Once it starts, better keep a little effort everytime to ensure it doesn't stop. Then it would be easy. But once it starts to slow down and eventually stop, then the whole process has to be resetted. Sometimes with a different partner.
That's the way our parents stayed together for so long. They don't do it based on wishes and promises. Vows taken don't really mean anything without any continuous hardwork and effort. They actually worked on it. It's the only way and there are no shortcuts to it.
I remember there was a situation once in my household that almost forced my parents to break up. But they worked on it and now, happily ever after. It takes 2 hands to clap. One hand won't even make the slightest sound.
Therefore, we all have to be thankful to God to unite us with someone. Without Him, we would all be single til the day we die because it's not arranged for us to be. But if it can start, it should be able to go on. Stand by your loved one's side no matter what happens and always, always, always be thankful and appreciate the people in your life. Love is something strong if you believe in it.
You'll never know what you've lost until it's gone.

To make friends is to be a______..??
First of all,a big silent congratulations to my sis and CKK Cacing's sis for their good STPM results. Lazy to tell it to my sis in person. They did exceptionally well...at least for my sis though.
Anyways,back to the main topic.
Yes yes..I know. It's this topic again...*sighs*
I get so frustrated about people who still do not fully grasp the meaning of being a friend.
Just in case for those of you who did not check up the meaning of friends,here's a definition provided by Wikipedia..
Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more humans.In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:

Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:
- the tendency to desire what is best for the other.
- sympathy and empathy.
- honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth.
- mutual understanding.
Being a friend is being a person who understands the person who you are to befriend with. This in practice means you are able and willing to tolerate that person's behaviour;the flaws,the imperfections.If it can't be tolerated,then why bother being friends?
To have a friend is to be able to have someone to keep you from feeling lonely. To share all that is good and to wipe away all that is sad. To help when one is in need and to understand when that friend needs it.
People need friends more when they are down rather when they are joyous. And if a friend can't be a friend,why bother getting to know each other in the first place. Friends should hold no grudge and to forgive all that is forgivable unless it's a problem which is unforgivable,in which case,should have broken up the friendship.
I understand from my point of view that lots of my not-so-current 'friends' are not sufficiently being friends except for a few ppl. There's no sense of real friendship being with them. I don't know. Maybe I accidentally torched someone's house on fire when I was sleepwalking or maybe accidentally rammed into someone's car while being so drunk that I can't remember. Please tell me I did not do that...yet. Because as I know,I did not commit crimes nor any sins so great to be exiled from a group of people.
But in a way,I am tired,frustrated and had given up all hopes of changing myself. I don't find the need to HAVE to change myself. I am who I am and the world is round. I don't need to please people just to make friends. Maybe in the corporate world if I own my own business but not to make genuine friends. I just don't care about what people think anymore. To put it rudely,I don't give two Fs about other people's judgement of me. Only God is fit to judge me.
And don't think because of this attitude I would not have any friends. I have lifelong friends from my old school and even some new people I met recently. The most important people in my life now are my parents,my dear gf and my old friends and I'm done. They know me and they accept me for me. Non had asked me to change the way I am and why should I just to fit in somewhere?
Here are a few examples....
;p LioNeL ;p welcome to crew FU @_chris_@ better pray that i dun get hired this year
;p LioNeL ;p welcome to crew FU @_chris_@ then i can balik and yc with you
;p LioNeL ;p welcome to crew FU @_chris_@ didn't manage to do that like we said we're gonna last time
..or from a friend who's just broken up with her stupid ex-bf
GTS~u can lie to everythin but u cant lie to ur HEART @_chris_@ as long as u chat with me every time i online can ad.. keeps me company
GTS~u can lie to everythin but u cant lie to ur HEART @_chris_@ u n lionel not bad..
GTS~u can lie to everythin but u cant lie to ur HEART @_chris_@ willing to listen to my sadness
GTS~u can lie to everythin but u cant lie to ur HEART @_chris_@ i felt better after talking to u
That's all for friends testimonial. Can't reveal the rest or they'll think funny and kill me.lol
Anyway,point proven. I am who I am and I do not hold grudges against anyone unless there's a major reason for me to. For example,my gf's ex or my friend's ex-bf. They deserve to have their heads smashed against a wall.
But for all the bad treatment,the exclusion from certain activities and the forgotten of my name,I hold no grudges. I can't be holding grudges everytime you all do these type of things. My head would be filled with this stupid,immature problem and I won't be able to concentrate on more important aspects of my life. It's up to you to take your own initiative to do things like this on your own because,'nuff said,I am fed up of changing and pleasing people.
I take the good if you give and I do not care about the bad I'm bound to receive.

So pissed off right now...
I had just finished watching a video provided by Junn Tseng about how slaughtered animals are treated.And I have to say that I wish I could be a vegetarian right now.
The video shows how they actually slaughter animals such as chickens,cows,pigs,calves and even turkeys. Most of these meat are the kinds that we eat almost everyday.
These animals are tortured and slained brutally.Some are tagged with hot iron over and over again although the fucking owner's initial is still embedded in the animal's skin CLEARLY.
Speaking as a person who can't survive a day without meat,I can't say that everyone should be a vegetarian.Since I'll be doing on animal cruelty in my Moral presentation,it wouldn't hurt to treat the slaughter animals well in hopes of producing better meat and increase productivity.Not shove a few hundred thousands of animals at one go and in hopes some would survive for the slaughter.
This is really inhumane.What are we,humans with rational thoughts or barbarians who don't give a shit if you're fucking your own mother???
Everything deserves to be treated well eventhough it's for consumption.
And get this.The USDA,which approves of the meat which are safe for eating and for export ion the US,approves of cows which are cancerous for consumption.WTF?? Want people to get cancer also izit??
These are outrageous issues.Not only is the method of slaughter unstopped or unbudded,the meat produced from these diseased and injured animals are fed to us.Who knows if we had consumed any cancerous cows or disfigures chickens or pigs.
Lesson here is,do not trust any meat bearing the symbol of USDA approved.It's a bloody fake.They'll approve shit.And we are the ones who will suffer in the long term.At least our country enforces more control on animal slaughtering partly because of some Muslim ruling which are sensitive to certain ways of slaughtering animals.It all has to be approved both by DVS and JAKIM in order to protect the halal status and the proper management of slaughterhouses.
Be wary of the meat you eat,people.It could be fatal.

Feeling drained
Everyone knows that sleep is the most important part of our daily life (and if you're a pig,THAT is your life)
And everyone's clear that when we sleep,our subconcious takes over,pulls it's dictator ruling crap on our brain and rules til concious comes back and kicks it's butt in the morning.
Subconcious gives us dreams which may seem real when we sleep and our brain continues to function based on what we see in these dreams.Sleep is when our body needs to recharge after a long day's function to prepare for the next day.
Well,one faithful night,my subconcious got a little tulan with me and decided to play with my brain's weekness.
I was having my beauty sleep,hoping for a good dream to conjure when I blurly remember having to do straneous excercises while running through obstacle in my dream.I remember having to run,jump and climb these obstacles until I finally woke up in the morning.
I felt more tired than before I went to sleep.
Dammit.

Accumulations
I feel my passion in blogging is slowly disappearing nowadays.I mean,I'm not as active as I used to be and mostly,I fill my blog either once in a blue moon or often with junk.
This will be one of those "once in a blue moon" post.
Many things happen over the past weeks (or months,I'm not counting).
Term break came and went in a matter of seconds.We suffered for 3 gruelling months and all we receive is a petty 2 weeks leave.WITH ASSIGNMENT.Come on.It's not even enough for us to enjoy it to get us back in the mood to do more work.But we always find our time for leisure and pleasure.
Went on a KL trip with the guys of CD055-1 - Sam,James,Will,Ben,JT and Cal.Strut around Times Square,Sungai Wang,BB Plaza and KLCC in search of figures and comics.And in Sam's case,advertising references as well.Went over to KLCC for dinner and a movie - Monster House.Had supper later at a hawker centre where they entertain the older customers with live performances of oldies songs in mandarin,hokkien and whateverelse they can actually sing.
Completed my Gundam Astray figurine bought during the Kl trip within 4 hours.RM40 is completed.
Rushed figures on Sunday to be handed in on Monday morning but still managed to finish 8 in a day.My personal record.I'll never do figures like that EVER again.
Crikey.Steve Irwin recently passed away,killed by a killer stingray which had sworn to take revenge for it's reptilian machas who were frequently harassed by Stevey.
Seriously.He died after being stabbed by the stingray's barb tail.The guy who brought you The Crocodile Hunter is killed by a stingray instead.He was a good presenter and a passionate environmentalist (taken from news statement).
Discovered that Jason Lo is a dedicated image maker of Malaysia.His song Old Newspaper is a fine example of songs which will easily be recognised as being "Malaysian" with a strong "Malaysian identity".Cries of "old newspaper,paper lama..sau kau pou chi,sou jiu pao che" can only be heard in no other than good ol' noisy Malaysian residential area.
And hey,if that's not Malaysia,then I don't know what is.

History
Recently,I've just purchased CivCity Rome and was quite addicted to it.Finished off half of the the game in 3 days.
I like these type of games which links back to the Roman or Greek history - their way of life,their ARMY,economics and etc..
I've always been excited about these people because of their superiority in the early science,math,politics and warfare in comparison to our dull history in school about how we suck up to the colonials to try to gain independence without war.
Well,the Romans and Greeks didn't need to gain independence.They controlled it.For all the Greeks power,the Romans still proved superior by conquering their neighbours.Everything we learn now-maths and science,letters and numbers-we get from these people.Not some guy named Parameswara we had to learn so much of in Form1.
Sure he's the founder of Melaka,but who the hell gives a damn??We should be learning from the superiors rather than the idiot who ran away from his own land.
Anyway,back to our topic..
Rome..
Known for it's army.Imagine.These people had formations,perfected the catapult way before US was even a founded and know how to make steam spas.They could provide piped water and structure magnificent architectures when most of the world still lived in jungles and down by the river.
Back to their armies.
They were almost no different from Malaysia in size.Also started from a peninsula and relied on their science and military to conquer.In fact,if we add East Malaysia,we have a bigger country than the current Italy peninsula.We just suck in superiority.
What caused Rome to shrink was the falling apart within their own country and not conquerors.
So,does anyone want to know the amount of soldiers or legionaries within Rome's walls.Only Rome and not their conquered lands.
Well,since you're here,stay for a minute.
Here's the equation..
80 soldiers/legionaries = 1 Century
59 Centuries = 1 Legion
Each Century has 1 Centurion = 59 Centurions in 1 Legion
There are 30 Legions in Rome itself ->
Therefore,Rome itself has a total of 143370 soldiers.
Can you imagine if they all had guns and planned to conquer Malaysia??
OMG

This is a video from my sister's batch for their Form 5 "Riddance" Night..aka Majlis Perpisahan Tingkatan 5.
This video is about a group of guys dancing to funny moves which is taken from comics such as Dragonball,Ultraman and other funny actions.
Just couldn't get enough of the antics.
Anybody recognise it??

Hassles and hassles..
Wonder why I seldom blog these days,huh??
Do you?? Do you??
I'll tell you why...
It's this problem I have with Blogspot which refuses to load.Everytime I enter my account,the "create new post" screen takes forever and a day to load.
This kinda makes me fed up about blogging eventhough there's things to share and show.
I'm just lucky it didn't try to screw up today.
