kokomo

Dream: being by a beachside drinking tequila on a non-crowded beach, accompanied by the sun, gentle breeze, the salt in the air and a beautiful companion sharing the dream.

Reality: no where close to earning money and support myself, no beautiful companion, stuck in a urban jungle full of beastlike bastards.

Ways to achieve dream:
- Dream
- Play The Sims 2
- Ten years of hard work and sweat
- Strike lottery

Percentage of success to achieving dream: <0.567%

Currently: Sigh.

Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go

Jamaica off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in Kokomo
- Kokomo, Beach Boys

Old Days

Dang, now i get to say "Back in the old days..."

Why oh why am i getting old??? =p


Well honestly, back in the old days...

-toys were of better quality, case in point: the new transformer crappy quality optimus prime versus the good old rm118.90 Optimus prime back when i was a kid.
- Music didn't had a bunch of crappy r and b or rap or all that stuff where i just talk lyrics or digitally enhance my singing ability.
- Nasi Lemak big plate plus extra rice cost only Rm0.70.
-Lala-ness wasn't in fashion, people wear decently nice and hot.
-We can roam around the streets without fearing our safety.
- Cooler back then, not much global warming nonsense.
- I used to be much handsomer (muahaha)
-I got my bicycle!
- Playstation 1 was affordable and games cost like RM4!
- Arcade Rules!
- Which then follows by Street Fighter Rules!!


awww man, so many more wei... sigh
good ol days!

Tech Kills

I sincerely think as we grow older, time seems to fly by, news paper already advertising whats to come next month and the month after, we looking forward to movies coming out middle of the year, we looking forward to graduate, why?

Just as Lisa puts it in this BLOG POST

I agree that she says technology makes things go faster, everything must be snippity snappity do,
Fast, convenient, save time so can do more, by "saving" time, we actually have LESS time to do anything, right??

Think about it.

Screw tech, we should get down and go old school, let's start reading books instead of blogs, go, stop reading this blog.

O Egg

Well, been blog hopping a bit, and it seems everyone is blogging about the year 2008.

Well let me jump on the bandwagon and blog about it too then.

I hate new years, every end of the year i always reflect and look back on all the missed opportunities, the shortcomings, the times i failed God in so many different ways, it's just depressing and not very motivating to move on to a new year to repeat the same ol'.

But suffice to say, i think life's been pretty ok, God has been faithful, i thank Him a lot for family and friends who never left my side, well some friends did (be it physically or emotionally), nevertheless, as a good friend said "i've come to accept that friends come and go", so here is to a good 2008, hopefully not time wasted, and not a year going down the drain!"!"

I've realized a lot of things in the holidays, i tend to think a lot, and i have so much more potential! But then again, i like where i am, anyway, not to mope anymore, let us begin the new year!

Life Goes On, Embrace It!

Breaking Down

Went for World Drum festival on Sat with a couple of good friends,

sat LRT to masjid jamek and walked to dataran merdeka, pretty sight, a lot of lights! shining brightly in the night, only hoc mun brought camera, so he has the pics.

Well the emcee was lousy, trying to sound pro but ain't pro sounding he was.. pffttt... and always mentioning the sponsors a gazillion times, and the speeches were long and tedious and cliche!

Even the tourist there were restless, one woman laid back and raised her hand symboling a 'bird' sign in the 'bird paper stone' game, and opening the 'bird's' mouth and closing it, haha, it was funny, even the tourist know our speeches are long and pointless, all for show, no one pays attention!

Then the show came on,

it was....

disappointing!!

better go listen some drum solo by some random band, probably more entertaining,

yea yea, its cultural and stuff, but it's supposed to entertain!

Then they boasted bout the youngest conductor or something, and the fella is in the malaysia drums troupe, but that group was quite disorganized, they use everyday items as instrument

hmmm

wonder why that sound soooo familiar?

could it be some other PEOPLE did it and became damn famous?

The emcee kept mentioning that singapore is our neighboring country, repeatedly you know, but thailand they didn't mention that they are our nieghbor, seeing how we share border with them and with singapore we are separated by a river or something,,

even indonesia was mentioned as our neighboring country, poor thailand... we left halfway go mamak watch football a bit, more fun.

Come 2008! come!

Movie Buzz

Saw Alien Versus Predator Requiem earlier tonight, or AVP2, whichever you familiar with.

Well, the show was alright, action movie, what did you expect?
I like the senseless merciless killing aptly done by the directors, no need think, just let the characters die.

Well, i was sitting beside two ladies, they were talking NON STOP!

Literally since i entered the cinema till the credits rolled, they were yapping yapping and more yapping, thankfully this movie was just all eye candy kinda show, if not i'd probably 'politely' ask them to shut their traps!

Real Life Examples from the movie and the women's conversation:
Predator vaporizes bodies to leave no trace:
-"OOhhh, Dia ni hapuskan bukti", "Ya kah? Ohhhh"

Predator hangs a body upside down:
-"Dia tergantung"

Women in movie scream for no reason:
-" AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Survivors climbing towards helicopter chased by Aliens:
-" Cepatlah naik helikopter! OOHH! EEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Every time alien jumps out from the ceiling (VERY PREDICTABLE):
-"ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (covers mouth)

Small kids killed:
-" ARGHHHHH!!! AMBOI, KESIAN!"


Yeap, thats the idea, followed by countless of obvious statements and actions which were so annoying, as i said, thankfully this show really just go to see for fun.

Funnily, people behind us were also as noisy, but spoke in different language or with heavy accent, laughed kau kau when girl gets slaughtered as collateral damage...

Man, people are sick in their minds.

I think i better go watch some South Park now..

Been Better!

Holidays i'm busier than when i got exams

phew

need a breather!

About prom ah, when got mood only blog ler hehehehehe

Meanwhile here's a joke,

THE CHEMISTRY OF HELL

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington
chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the
professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course,
why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.







Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic absorbs heat)?




Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many
souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different Religions that exist in
the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member
of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of
these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we
can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in
Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the
volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature
and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
breaks loose.

2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell,
then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into
account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be
true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen
over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it
follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

The Day of Births

Last Sunday was a loooong day.

Why long since it only has 24 hours?
I don't know, doesn't make sense right?
How come humans don't make sense?
When we say short cut, how the cut is short?

Luke Skywalker to Sith Lord in a Yo Momma Contest:
Yo Momma's so stupid that she went to bangkok to buy a tiefighter!
Yo Momma's so stupid she spent all day saying "Am not" to R2!

I digress, big time.

So, mom celebrated her, erm, well, er..... 30th(?) birthday!

And our church Myanmar brother celebrated his 25th!

HE and his pallies made us another Myanmar cultural dish! If you remember my More Hinder
post back in May, a pun for another of their dish i name Mo-Hing-Kah, this time they brought another tribe's special dish - Shuen Cow Swear! (As close as i can spell it to be pronounced properly)


As simple as it looks, it is absolutely fabulously delicious!!!!
I guess i like this more than Mo-Hing-Kah, but it doesn't matter, both rocks!
I had 3 helpings, would love to have more.. but then i had other plans!


Celebrated mom's birthday at Shogun, while it was satisfying, it wasn't terribly good, i like the sushi part though, i love sushi, anyone got good sushi buffet which is affordable? we should go.


Yea, the desserts weren't so good. Well, Shogun is just convenient, that's all, but i guess if go with friends, it'd be funner, anyone wanna go?


Then walked in 1u a lil, at the exhibition area got like christmas-y stuff! Like this Fully chocolate made Bunny!! But Mom said it's hollow inside, can get tiny choco animals coated too! (Lazy to rotate the pic and upload again, just make do la huh)


Then got this not so Lil Drummer Boy (?) Quite a sight, then got these bunch of like orchestra kids came out, mostly Lala girls and Lala boys,
underage some more, sigh.

But it was cool, i like the semi-crowded malls, nice to walk and see all sorts of people!

Fairy Tales and Castles

As the sun goes down and we grow up, what have we become?

Are we jaded?

Are we sluggishly going through with life?

What happened to the dreams we used to have as kids?
Where are they now?

How about saving the world?
How about following Him to the end of the earth?
What about that becoming a hero?
Having a bunch of kids to make up a football team?
The perfect family you always wanted?
Fly around the world?
Help the needy?


Is it because it was so childish? Now that we have BIG responsibilities, we are more in tune with REALITY, and we have to put our dreams behind?

Or

Are we just deviating from those dreams further and further and justifying by saying we don't want them anymore? By embracing what comes may?

Life is a drag, only if you choose to drag it.

He's not even trying..

Keren updated his blog!!

Finally!!

GO GO GO

Apart from that

been studying a lil, gaming a lil, life's alright =)

Met old friends today at a camp. good time!

Few things i learned from the movie Enchanted (Spoilers may be ahead!):
1. Your true love can change to be someone else when you stay with that someone for a couple of days.

2. All stepmothers are stereotyped to be evil.

3. Prince charming is an idiot (there, go for handsome people some more la, haiyo, girls ah)

4. Curtains and floormats can be made into nice clothings.

5. When cartoon characters from disney come to life, it is ridiculous. (hint: cosplay)

Overall, fun show to watch to kill brain cells, songs catchy though, and the small girl cute in her role.

Sweeney Todd, Prince Caspian, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, CJ7! Come 2008! Year of the movies!

Blue Eyes

We are at fault for conforming.

Totally.

Look, when things come our way, we tend to embrace it and then somehow mould it into our "destiny".

IF God made us to be more than conquerors, why aren't we conquering?

It's a disease i tell you, you may wanna argue, but it's true.

A.W. Tozer puts it nicely, allow me to paraphrase from Chapter 5 of Pursuit of God:
With the age full of automation, we tend to have shortcuts in life and comforts never known before, we therefore apply the same principles in our spiritual life, we want fast transactions, unlike prophets of old, unlike King David where he would wrestle day and night and moan just to get God's attention, now all we want is fast, spending lil time in prayer and quiet time hoping to compensate what is lacking in our spiritual walk.
We go to meetings after meetings, sermons after sermons to feel "alive" in God and we feel good bout it, but in the end always dead inside, always withering away.

He wrote that like eons ago man, and it still reigns true, with passage of time comes better gospel messages, better worship, all futile, all meaningless, swept away by the winds, scattered into dust, if David in the olden days wrote that God desired not sacrifices and external things, then why now are we falling prey to it again?

Think about it, when you fail exams and people ask you to pursue something you dislike, are you just doing it because it's safe? is it ever in God's plan?
To heck with social norms, if ever we are normal, then we wouldn't be any different from this world.
To those who are going to study overseas, don't succumb to temptations, don't let things take charge, through God take charge!

Let God rule! Don't be a wimp!

Blog hopping, saw the link to wikipedia, funny stuff:

"Ah Lian is a pejorative term commonly given to a certain group of young Chinese girls in Southeast Asia, especially Singapore and Malaysia. These Chinese girls, whose age ranging from their adolescent years to late 20s, usually centralised in the busier and more developed cities in the region. They are regarded as bimbos, and are stereotyped as anti-intellectual, superficial, materialistic, and shallow. Ah Lians are commonly stereotyped as having hair dyed in gaudy and bright colours, and attired in fashion mimicking hip-hop culture, although how much of this is true is debatable. Since their male counterpart is the Ah Beng, Ah Lians are also thought of as being excessively flashy and show-offs.

The Ah Lian "culture" is especially prevalent in the secular Chinese educational system schools, typified by their frequent use of vulgarities and appearance in cliques (joined by their male counter parts Ah Bengs).

Ah Lians commonly speak in a kind of hybrid mix of Singlish or Manglish and Chinese, or Chinese-related dialects. It is also common for the grammar from these dialects to cross over English usage, creating English phrases with Chinese grammar."

AND

"

Ah Beng is a term commonly given to a member of a group of young Chinese men in Southeast Asia, particularly Singapore and Malaysia. These Chinese men, whose age ranging from their early teens to late 20s, usually centralise in the busier and more developed cities in the region, but are usually seen as originating from smaller or more rural towns. Ah bengs typically speak local slang, which is Hokkien or Cantonese mixed with English and Malay, such as Manglish or Singlish. They are often stereotypically portrayed to be anti-intellectual, superficial and materialistic and shallow. These values often lead to a lack of culture or indulgence in criminal activity or being involved in brawling or arguing out of disagreements with other people. Ah bengs are also sometimes associated with extensively-modified or zhng-ed cars, ^[1] and are stereotypically seen as being excessively flashy and show-offs. Ah Beng commonly are seen in gaudy patterned shirts, loafers without socks, gold jade rings and gold often counterfeit Rolexes .

The term 'Ah Beng' is also sometimes used to describe young Chinese men in Southeast Asia who cannot speak fluent English and/or have graduated from the secular Chinese education system of the region.

In Malaysia, the term 'Ah Beng' usually refers to males who have unusual styles and tastes. And the term 'lala-zai' refers to males involved in stereotypical gangster activity or fashion such as the dyeing of hair."

All Black

Imagine wearing black jeans or slacks or whatever you wear down there

what color top would you wear to match it?

Almost any color, mom always say: anything goes with black.

I guess same goes to the world, world drowned in black, anything done in it seems to fit, killing, stealing, mocking, lying, hitting, raping, cursing..... all is justified one way or another.

BSF said in this world that is so dark in the background, we soldiers of Christ should shine even more to pierce through the darkness.

Trivial things shouldn't matter anymore people, why should it? in the bigger picture the Artist is painting, what is it to you that a speck of dust should stain it a lil?

Take heart, that by year end, we be where we are because the Artist painted us there

in the world that is all black, in the place where sins are justified, shouldn't we shine?
Worst part is, we are all capable of committing things we condemn and things we find despicable.

Judge not or be judged!

_Shift

Weighed down today by the long day and study hours, last assignment handed up yesterday
it only serves to signify that the end of sem is coming (a big welcome to that) and also the start of finals prep.

As this sem approaching to its doom/end, a couple of things ran through my mind, people are going to leave,
i had once again successfully exclude God in this sem, which is quite depressing when you think about the days when the fire of God was so evident.

Chatted with a friend lately, came to mind that i should really really start working hard on stuff.

Had a bath, then forcing a smile on your face seems to make things better =)

Grave Words

SO if i were to die after writing this

would you attend my funeral? Would you give me a nice eulogy?

Anyway sample eulogy woukd be from me, that is if i wrote it before i die because i knew i would die so that someone would find it after i die and then took it out to read the instructions saying i want it to be read after i die in the funeral where i did not die:

"Lordson was a VERY (Stress this word) good man and a kind hearted soul. He was handsome and attractive, everyone said so, and now he is gone. He is in a better place, but his presence here when he was alive made the world feel better, girls had a purpose, guys were jealous, and time were great! We mourn the loss of this SUPER NICE person, and we know all the hurtful things you people said to him can never be taken back, serves you right. And all the girls that rejected him will now know how much of a saint he was, IN YA FACE. Lastly he like to mention to his good friend Keren: hahahaha, sigh, still short ler you, fat hopes for getting a chick."

I like to see you top that eulogy!

Games

Well, why do I play pc games or console games?
easy!

Well:

1. David recorded one of the first few headshots in history by pwn-ning Goliath in the head with a shot from a sling.
2. Moral ambiguity happens all the time in bible stories, so that's what bunch of other games does to us too.
3. We are always fighting against evil, so we do that in games too.
4. We need game manuals to survive, and the bible does provide answers for us when we get into trouble in life.
5. Good pc games need high end pcs to run, therefore in the same way, we need to have a really high end relationship with God to further level up ourselves and run the race.
6. Cheating always let us win in the end, but it does us no good in terms of skills nor satisfaction, so we can't cheat with God and gain a shortcut and we end up in hell.
7. We need to reload when we run out of ammo; we always need the Word to boost us spiritually to fight back evil.
8. When we make a wrong move, we game over, but we have save points or retry to rectify our mistake. Sometimes in life, God allows second chance for us to make things right.
9. Investing time in games so we can overcome its difficulty is like we must invest time in God so we can be strong in faith.
10. We equip all sort of items for our in game character to win. We only need God's full proof armor - shield of faith, sword of truth, helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness and belt of truth and we are set to advance on our spiritual journey with God as our Big Boss!

So there you go!
hehehehe
