If you're happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.
*clap**clap*

That's it right there - the anthem of dictatorship.

The domineering (and usually older) men and women trying to assert their elevated positions over little, innocent, ignorant kids.

Forcing them to be happy, or lie trying.

Think of it, what if li'l Ted didn't feel happy that day?

Not clapping his hands would mean stares from the other kids (peer pressure). His 'loving' teacher would then 'encourage' him to clap his hands because and simply because it's an action song.

But no, Ted is not happy. If he claps, he'd be lying.

Ted is not happy. If he claps, his right of being unhappy would be wrenched away from him.

If. There is a choice in the song: to be happy and to clap, or to do the opposite. But no, the all-powerful teacher-dictator refuses to acknowledge that fact. The teacher says,"Clap." Clap no matter what.

Everyone has a right to be unhappy. Doesn't Ted?

If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it,
Clap your hands.

a complaint.

the ideal cowboy film.

2010-08-31T17:01:00.004+08:00

If I were to produce one of those Wildx2 West cowboy films, it would..

..be set in Wyoming.

..have a boy riding a cow as the lead. I mean why call a scruffy horse-riding man a cowboy? More like 'horseman' or something. Anyways, a brown cow, so I could fit in a line that goes "How now, brown cow?". And yes, stirrups, bridle, saddle and all.

..oh, yes, spurs. Big, round, spiky, flashy.

..have NO FUR CHAPS.

..definitely not forget a red bandana round the neck.

..not have any guns. Bows and arrows are much cooler. (Look, the interpretation of 'cowboy' is already unorthodox..) Lassos are fine though.

..sport good ol' hats.

..have Orlando Bloom in it. Okay, maybe a picture/poster of him. Hanging on a wall.

..have a tumbleweed as the cowboy's sidekick. (Because I think tumbleweeds have been so degraded by their ultra-mediocre, unfascinating roles as heralds of idleness.)

..not have a good storyline. (Unless I hire a professional scriptwriter.)

⁴ “ They do not direct their deeds
Toward turning to their God,
For the spirit of harlotry is in their midst,
And they do not know the LORD.
⁵ The pride of Israel testifies to his face;
Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity;
Judah also stumbles with them.
⁶ “ With their flocks and herds
They shall go to seek the LORD,
But they will not find Him;
He has withdrawn Himself from them.
(Hosea 5:4-6, New King James Version)

Harlotry = spiritual adultery.

His wrath at that moment was so severe that even when they seek Him, they will not find Him.
That He would even withdraw Himself from them.
He left them.

Not committing harlotry would mean that the ONLY focus in our lives is Him.

Well yes, God's mercy is abundant and He IS love.
But remember: God works based on His terms, not ours.

And when you think about it.. thank God He's the One setting the terms and conditions.

What they tell you:

Janissari ialah kumpulan tentera infantri elit dalam sistem ketenteraan kerajaan Uthmaniyah. Kumpulan kanak-kanak yang diambil melalui sistem devshirme tidak semua akan menjadi pentadbir. Sebahagian daripada kumpulan tersebut akan diserapkan ke dalam sistem ketenteraan Uthmaniyah. Sebelum diserapkan ke dalam kumpulan Janissari, kanak-kanak tersebut akan diberi latihan fizikal dan ketenteraan terutamanya selok-belok dan taktik serta teknik peperangan.

- KBSM Sejarah Tingkatan 4, Buku Teks

What they do not tell you:

Devshirme was the practice by which the Ottoman Empire (kerajaan Uthmaniyah to you and me) conscripted (compelled to military service) boys from Christian families, who were taken from their families by force, converted to Islam, trained and enrolled in one of four imperial institutions: the Palace, the Scribes, the Religious and the Military. The devshirme system humiliated non-Muslim societies controlled by the Ottomans and was resisted.

I'm wondering why the phrase is called bored stiff.

Why stiff of all words? Not like bored ppl very stiff also.

Boredom makes you restless lah.

But.. ahhhh.. stiff??

Oh, look at me, i'm bored, and i'm sitting like a statue: stiff.

Boredom does not have paralytic properties!

It agitates. It makes you want to do something.

It doesn't make you stiff.

yes i'm bored (but not stiff!)

the World Cup to me..

2010-06-13T00:34:00.003+08:00

about football? no not really. haha.

2010-06-02T23:44:00.003+08:00

I have found..

..that i like writing untitled posts.

Because it's just so discriminatory that a bunch of words should be more highly accentuated and highlighted than the rest of the words.

Because the rest of the words is what holds up the pretentious clump of upsized words in the first place.

Because i'm in a writing mood but i've got nothing to write about.

stained glass masquerade

2010-05-28T14:05:00.007+08:00

Is there anyone who's been there
are there any hands to raise?
Am I the only one who's traded
the altar for a stage?

The performance is convincing
and we know every line by heart.
Only when no one is watching
can we really fall apart.

Are we happy plastic people
under shiny plastic steeples?
With walls to hide our weakness
and smiles to hide our pain.
But if the invitation's open
to every heart that has been broken,
maybe then we close the curtain
on our stained glass masquerade.

Accountable to God, yes.

But not to one another. Nothing about accountability partners or an accountability group.

Sometimes you kinda feel pitiful towards the guy who only got one talent. Seeing his co-workers get 10 and 5 respectively, must not have been easy. He would've been thinking of how low the master's trust in him is (whether that thought is valid or not idk but still), that he only received one measly talent.

Easy for the persons who got more to multiply their talents ma. It's like if you get 10 seeds compared to 1 seed, it's easier to grow plants and get fruit when you've got 10 seeds. So he figured, you know what, it's better if I don't lose the talent, why take the risk, what can I do with one single talent.. I mean compared to the guy with 10 talents, what can I do..

"compared to the guy with 10 talents"

Fact is, some people just get more talents (skill not monetary -- the English word 'talent' apparently came from that parable) than others. Born with talents, maybe?

Talent is everything. What one person can work up in 2 years, a talented one can build in 2 months. Everyone has got talents, though not the same amount probably. The problem comes when people start comparing. Then comes jealousy and "ahh i wish i could do that like he/she does.. so jealous, he/she can do it so well..".

But our God is a just God, however unjust giving 10 talents to one and 1 talent to another may seem like. We aren't God (thank goodness).

One talent counts. If only that person had said, "You know what, I'll use this one talent to the best I can." I think that the master couldn't have had only 3 workers, seeing how powerful he apparently was he obviously had like a whole big workforce but he only chose three to have talents. Maybe he who got one talent could've looked at the fact that he actually got a talent.

Defamation.

2010-04-21T17:48:00.006+08:00

Today, a serious charge has been brought to the court's attention.

Okay, when you think of cherries, most of us would think of these:

(i don't like the watermark either but the other pictures on google weren't as nice. plus you can totally see the lighting apparatus they used to take that photo: in the reflection on the cherries lol)

Anyhow after years and years of seeing/buying/eating birthday cakes with those cherries on top, what other image of 'cherries' could we possibly have?

Those are called glace/glazed cherries. Mostly red but you can get some green/yellow ones too.

They taste horribly sweet, almost disturbing to the helpless tastebuds who can't but cringe whenever the mixture of cherry, sweeteners, citric acid, flavourings, preservatives, colourings, and sulphur dioxide (doesn't that belong in acid rain? =/) land onto the tongue.

So today the word 'cherry' is synonymous with that kinda cherry, which is a big injustice to the real cherry:

The totally untainted, fresh cherry. Tastes a gazillion times nicer than the glazed version.

But the thing is, living in Malaysia you can't really get those kinda cherries and we're stuck with the yucky ultrared (not infrared xP) ones.

Glazed cherries have totally defamed the fruit itself.

So I no longer dislike cherries, I just don't like the poisoned-with-sweeteners ones.

i just had to post this after the glazed cherries left an unpleasant aftertaste in coffee bean's ice-blended black forest

that time

2010-04-19T22:20:00.002+08:00

I think he was in a good mood cuz he just ate. yay. or maybe cuz i didn't slide down much?

Parking was okay. Three-point turn was really really senget-ed but i somehow made it. hahaha.

2010-04-06T12:18:00.002+08:00

That's how the tyre felt. So far from the yellow line yet so close.

If only the tyre was maybe 1-2 inches less broad then it wouldn't have ended up on the yellow line. darnnnn.

Didn't even get to flunk my 3 point turn. haha.

Car was decent enough to pass the bukit though.

Julia nearly killed her tester. hahaha! xP if only we could switch, i do outside for you then you do inside for me, both sure can d right.

Oh well. retakeeeeeeee! miss school again lol

while on the phone with eunice..

2010-03-31T20:53:00.003+08:00

So i called eunice oh.

When i was typing in her number i was wondering: eh why maxis one? i thought she uses digi.

Ok nvm, call.

She picked up.

Said, hello who is this?

I was wondering, eh why her voice so different wan? Phone can make ppl's voices so different ar?

Ok nvm, i still went on: hey it's tania, can you play for wave challenge?

She: eh how come your number different wan?

Me: oh because i'm using..

.........

OH CRAP. WRONG EUNICE.

=/

_________________

ok continuation. eunice oh didn't answer.

Me: Hello?

Her: Yeah tania?

Me: OH CRAP

Her: not again........! bye.

healthy snack. haha!

2010-03-30T17:54:00.004+08:00

okay i'm not a health freak scouting the globe for tasty, nutritious snacks or anything but..

frozen grapes are totally a w e s o m e!

really la. haha. and it doesn't matter whether your grapes are sour, cuz they'll be so cold you won't be able to taste much xP

but make sure they're seedless (really really important!)

any colour also can.

1. Wash grapes.
2. Remove grapes from stem and put into plastic bag, tie up.
3. Put in freezer.
4. Wait at least for a few hours, overnight is more than enough but nothing wrong with extra-frozen =D

really very nice!

i'm not sure whether freezing the grapes affects the nutrients =/ but it's so nice so why bother. haha.

the picture of Dorian Gray

2010-03-17T20:55:00.002+08:00

is a REALLY REALLY good book.

One of those books that forces you to turn page after page. and kept me away from the Internet for the whole afternoon =O

It's got all the qualities of a classic without the tedium of Shakespearean lingo.

Plus it made me become such close friends with my dictionary. Never used it so much before xP well Mr Wilde kept using words like languid, tremulous, pathos.. gosh.

Storyline was sooo nice. yet tragic. Though some parts of the book are devoted to rants about [crooked] philosophy.

Oscar Wilde's Dorian Gray is somewhat like Jane Austen's Fitzwilliam Darcy: incredible:)

THREE posts in one day.. this is like.. record! xP

lots of text.

2010-03-14T15:08:00.005+08:00

So there you sit, reading that Sejarah book.

Most of your mind utterly refuses to read, and not only read, but memorise (how outrageous is that!) those occasionally biased, sometimes unreliable accounts of what happened way before you were born (and why you would want to know what happened before you, the most important person, lived, i don't know).

But there's a small minority (small minority.. so redundant.. i'll start again..)

But there's a minority of nerve cells which so undemocratically veto their way into forcing all their counterparts (other nerve cells, i mean) into studying.

They say it's for your own good. Also implying that you're not good enough to decide what's good for you. In other words, you're no good.

Now, meet the subversive rebels who want to overthrow the veto-ers. Rather sadly a revolution would never happen, they just don't have the numbers or the resources or the rightful arguments to satisfy the conscientious crowd.

So instead they mumble and grumble their way into spreading malicious thoughts (sedition! cry the veto-ers) that oh, how nice it would be if i could be watching tv or reading this book or going on the inet.. if not for studies.

Let's skip to the after-exams part.

The brain has now been overrun by nerve cells, jubilantly parading around in the streets, knowing that the work was now temporarily over and it's PAY DAY!

And you remember all those thoughts and grand plans you had of what to do once the exams were over.

But somehow they don't have that how-awesome-it-would-be-to-do-that feeling anymore.

Why's that?

I figure it's cuz while you were studying it was sooo horrible, that whatever felt remotely good was boosted up to really good, relatively.

Like for example, going on the inet when you're supposed to be studying feels very good and relaxing; but going on the inet when you've got nothing else to do.. feels normal.

We can call this inspiration-giving feeling 'boredom'.

Happy Pi Day!

2010-03-14T11:28:00.003+08:00

It's a PI PIE! xP at Delft Uni for their Pi Day celebration.. haha.

Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day* are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant

π

(pi) (in the mm/dd date notation: 3/14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.

One of the first food items i bought there from a Chinese supermarket xP such an important component of our daily diet

ooh the first-ever sit-down meal we had there with the rest of the tour group. THREE COURSE!
(at first it was really nice but you kinda get used to it, a lot of the meals they provided us were 3cs where you could choose from a ~~limited~~ number of options in the menu)

#1: cream of tomato and red bell pepper soup. (the bread roll was really nice)

#2: strip steak

#3: boysenberry cheesecake (that's whipped cream btw - at first i thought it was ice-cream)

a squashed ~~and currently still lost in NZ~~ Quasimodo/Don Quixote with a bag of honey lemon sweets

From one of the cafes, i think this was steak & kidney pie.

from the same cafe. That's a sour cream dip for the wedges, then a sourdough sandwich with.. uh.. ham? and the smoked salmon bagel.

Morning mocha on a rainy day.

Vegetable soup. Again, the bread roll was nice but the soup was kinda bland.

=O hugeeeeee bags of apples for NZ$10 (about RM24) at a stall next to a fruit orchard

in the Remarkable Sweet Shop

some really awesome, popular burger joint at Queenstown where you can get:

(among other choices) the Fergburger! it was reallyy reallyy gooood.

But sometimes you kinda miss all that rice. This costed i think more than the bag of apples (RM25+) and it wasn't that nice anyways, veges were kinda salty? But after idontknowhowmany days of NZ food you kinda get bored of it.

I have no idea what this fish was doing on the statue of Queen Victoria. serious.

Cookies & cream. and they considered this to be ONE scoop!

This was at some seaside stopover we were at for lunch.

And it had the awesomest mussel chowder everrr! with tonnes of mussels.

The dessert section at the buffet in Materiki (sth like that), Rotorua.

where they used that big.. oven thing. Hangi.

Which cooked up this (pumpkins and potatoes)

and thisss! Meat Mountain =D

of the wonderful things at that buffet, including, more mussels! (made a 2nd trip to take more =D)

One of the best meals we had there - Indian food =D after being deprived of rice for soo long. We requested extra-hot and yes, they delivered very well! That's lamb vindaloo btw (in the red gravy)

The RM 20-something nasi lemak with a copious amount of beef. And there's frozen coke from McD. Frozen coke is really nice.

And, again from McD, the Grand Angus. beef. whoaaa.

i'm sorry if you read this while you were hungry

jusco - destinasi pelancongan terkini! =D

2010-02-18T20:53:00.006+08:00

There was this guy in Jusco.

Tourist, with his wife I think. I THINK.

He had a camera.

Compact camera, eulene.

Which looked alot like the one I use.

And he was taking pictures, IN JUSCO, of...

1. the fresh chicken feet packed up in nicely cling-wrapped styrofoam trays.

2. siput balitong.

3. uhh. bags of rice.

You see, Penang is so famous, ppl come all the way here just to take photos of things that Jusco sells.

I don't blame him. xPP

I know how he feels.

Cuz i did the same thing. (not in Jusco lahh!)

Lookie here: (wei-lynn look, there're pictures!!)

Starburst BABIES. Now here i'm wondering what kind of a person would want to eat fruit-flavoured baby-shaped gummies. ~~hey eulene doesn't that look like nathan? xP~~

COOKIE TIME! they had this all over new zealand, like in almost every single supermarket and convenience store. i bought one back and put it up for gift exchange during that christmas youth service. xP

Then there's Four Squares. It's like what 7Eleven is here. It's like in every little and big town in NZ. Some Four Squares are little, some Four Squares are big.

This was in another supermarket called Fresh Choice. (no, i did not remember, i just zoomed in on the labels there) their bakery section is like sooo nice. (this was just a tiny part)

Then you have the Pavlova. Imagine something along the lines of half-melted marshmellows encased in a sugary crust. Horribly sweet.

uh. fruits la (better than chicken feet right)

Eh so inovatif k. put chimpanzee next to bananas. xP

I feel like doing a whole post about the food in NZ based on photos.

Cuz like there i took like photos of lots of the meals i ate.

Ppl thought i was weird, taking photos of food.

but it was worth it xP haha.

Dreams

2010-02-17T23:57:00.003+08:00

Um not the cita-cita type. I mean the sleep then dream type. haha.

Okay. Got two interesting dreams i had, one night after the other.

ONE

Eulene died.

......*silence*

eh really wan. i dreamt that eulene died.

Cuz of one of two things. idk.

Her mum said is cuz of food poisoning.

Then another source said its cuz some rapist killed her =O

So yeah she died. Yes it was kinda sad. hahaha xPP

Interesting la. Went to some crime scene where she apparently got murdered. But then dunno why her mum was still saying it was cuz of food poisoning.

Dreams are so weird.

TWO

This was one of the awesomest dreams ever.

Becauseee...

I DREAMT THAT I FINALLY GOT MY STICK!

This one:

It was like sooooo niceeeeeee and NEW.

I remember the plastic wrap was still around the grip.

And the blade was so SMOOTH.

wahhh.

poof. tania wakes up.

my Chinese new year's resolution

2010-02-16T20:55:00.006+08:00

which i want to do by the next year of the tiger (because after that then i'll be too old and boring to do it xP)

IS TO..

*drumroll*

Go into one of those tidbit (or titbit, whichever word you wanna use) shops.. the one that specialises in selling titbits..

(must be specialised shop cuz the ppl manning the tidbit section in supermarkets are usually... old and boring. haha.)

..then get a plastic bag..

..go to the dried guava section..

..and take ONE (just ONE, not two!) slice of dried guava and carefully place it into the plastic bag..

..then give it to the cashier nonchalantly (means like very normal like that)..

..and wait for that REACTION. xP

Yup that's it =D

so simple right. xP anyone wanna join me? haha.

~~this year angpao really tak laku. haih. haha xP~~

2010-02-11T15:38:00.002+08:00

So i got bored of Windows 7-provided backgrounds.

And put in a slideshow of shots from NZ instead (=

Friday got school.

Saturday got school.

Sunday got driving school.

Monday is back to school.

School school everyday school.

Whenever you play hide-and-seek with God, and you're the one hiding..

..you'll always lose.

Down Day

2010-01-30T22:06:00.007+08:00

Today, the 30th of January 2010, is called Down Day.

Cuz it was so sien.. no mood.. like very boring like that..

..no floorball xP haha jk

So, it will always be remembered as Down Day.

Every year we will celebrate. xP

I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION ZOE CHOW ZHU QING HERE BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE MENTIONED.

...

Except the ride back home. That was up xP

Eulene, my fellow Chinese-slang tour guide.

Wei-Lynn, the first and the last, the one and the only.. tourist.

Eunice, the tour driver.

In a game, you can go three ways..

Play to:

1. WIN. (obviously what most people would do right)

2. LOSE. (if you play to lose, no point playing)

3. DRAW. (tactical xP)

Agree?

...

Wrong.

4th way: play to glorify God (=

When you play to glorify God, the outcome doesn't matter much.

But if you keep losing, how are you glorifying God?

...

Simple.

God's mathematics, is not the same as our mathematics.

We look at the scoreline. 19-0, 1-2..

But God? He doesn't keep score.

He's more bothered about how you play.

Losers can glorify God, no problem.

Because the world's losers are God's winners.

...

So, in conclusion, not saying aim to lose..

Aim to glorify God.

Hm.

Due to technical mishaps involving Bloom's contact lenses, in the films Legolas' eye colour sometimes changes between brown, purple, and blue.

LOL.

Note to self:

2010-01-10T21:49:00.001+08:00

Stop relying on yourself, cuz God's not dead..

He gives and takes away.

2010-01-10T17:01:00.002+08:00

Maybe it's purification? xP

God'll provide.

'we'll make do with what we have'

Worry is a sin, it's lack of faith.

So stop worrying.

passing law and missing floorball.

2010-01-09T16:01:00.004+08:00

law = undang xP

Note to Cemerlang ppl, pls don't go to the institute itself to take the undang test, just go straight to that place above SnJ in the morning, you'd save a mountain of time.

And you won't have to wait there half a day OR make trips back and forth and there again.

And you won't have to miss floorball!!!! gahhhh.

Anyways.

I passed! (= i know it was in the title already, but heyy, did you know, I PASSED!

And.

I MISSED FLOORBALL TRAINING.

No idea who's gonna update the fBFC blog d, it's kinda.. dead?

oh oh. STICK coming at the end of the month!! =D

2010-01-05T20:21:00.002+08:00

People who are trying to be more godly actually becomme more captive to their appetites and desires. That's exactly what happened to Eve. She just wanted to be like God, which is also exactly what God wants for us. It wasn't what she wanted that got her in trouble, but that she relied on her own strength to get there.

Last first two days

2010-01-05T16:07:00.007+08:00

So the first piece of ~~awfully bad~~ news is that..

..i'm sitting next to Julia Tan in class, again.

For the next 10 months.

..

So then there's the amazingly good news!

BOLA LANTAI! see that?!

BJ bahaya! (= and for once i'll be looking forward to ko-k, a part of it at least.

Maybe doing trainings in school at the tapak perhimpunan (yang mempunyai bumbung now), but scared the cement wears off my blade once I get that Curve (it's coming this month supposedly!)..

Somehow Pei thinks wearing off your new blade a bit is good.

And turns out Spearhead FC's in town eh..

So, besides that very good big piece of news..

..another Christmas present!

Can buy from Borders.

Just started reading it but it's a really good book as far.

And totally gives a whole different perspective on things.

Then, just today:

Going to USM tmr with Eureka and Sonia (funny isn't it, they're the two people i invited for floorball. yay.) for some press conference thing cuz we got 'Highly Commended' for our CO2nnect project.

The one with the video-thingy.

We did it for fun, and now they're gonna ask us a bunch of serious questions about it?

bring it on xP

gonna see MARILYN KEE YIN YING there. xP

..

So, one more year in school.

I wanna use it for God (=

oh btw MY BIRTHDAY'S COMING!!

Driving lessons and all that, here i come!

Uh provided i pass my undang this saturday. xP

And soon i'll be feeling the power of being able to drive, and people asking me for transport. hahahaha.

2010-01-03T14:21:00.001+08:00

was gonna update, but just realised..

..i haven't finished preparing christmas presents yet. crappp.

2009-12-27T16:09:00.004+08:00

I'm just going to act like nothing happened to this blog. hah.

(=

So Christmas.

PRESENTS!

Yes Christmas to me means so much more than that, but here's a thank you to everyone who gave me something.

And everyone else who didn't, thank you too :) cuz if everyone gave me a Christmas present, that'd be freaky.

But if everyone didn't, that'd be nightmarish.

Modest. I like.

Weirdest: that pink teddy bear keychain from Joyce

Randomest: Sharon's wrap-a-cord-around-me bear

Useful-est: that RM10 reload coupon (:

Christmas-est: snowglobe!

Lots of the usual-but-i-still-like messages on self-made cards, thank you.

..while some people obviously thought it was still Halloween. kidding.

So fast d 2009 ending. lousyy.

I liked the Christmas presents I gave ppl. I think they were nice.

Bought wrapping paper on Christmas day itself!

Then spent 25th's evening and night, and 26th's morning and half-afternoon preparing them.

Time to look back, and thank God.

BYE! (:

2009-11-22T00:30:00.004+08:00

Alright.

Leaving on the 22nd, coming back on the 10th. Going where? Over the sea.

I'll be missing lots of floorball, youth services, SUKPEN!, AYC prep (sorry dixon xP sharon help him pls), L4D-till-3a.m. sessions with my brothers yang baru saja balik..

Yes i've been doing that. L4D (= oh friendly fire exciting you know!

Stick-y Situations

2009-11-07T23:03:00.002+08:00

My stick's grip is stickyyy! Can play lah, but not very nice to hold?

Oleh sebab itu, memandangkan musibah yang teruk dan semakin menjadi-jadi itu, I need to buy a new grip that isn't sticky!

Options.

1. Buy the racquet grips, put three. Multicolour! RM12.

2. Buy a good, around RM50 floorball grip.

3. Buy a cheaper, RM10-20 grip.

Most likely will go for 3. lor. As long as IT'S NOT STICKY.

...

Okay, next.

Which stick, which stick..

Options.

1. Player SQL 29 Curve 1.5

RM 485.

2. Player SQL 32 Curve 1.5

RM 400.

The diff is the flex, obviously. One easier to press, the other one harder..

...just look at what ky's been saying in the chatbox lah. hahahah.

But you see right, one looks much nicer! Meaning, I prefer how the 29 looks than the 32. Plus 29's one-piece grip is niceee! But confirm become black.

which one?

maybe i should just get this:

hahaha.

(yes, confirm unihoc curve d. just dunno which one!)

Floorball + YWAM

2009-11-06T17:55:00.005+08:00

Two of my favourite things in the world!!

COMBINED INTO ONE.

ahh. it was fun!!

not to mention spending the afternoon with zhuqing..

..and seeing julia the whole day (now that's not fun, that's SICKENING. xP)

will upload the photos on facebook later. big, big, BIG photos!! haih camera canggih wat to do. LOL i'm not complaining!

But for now a few teasers:

Des(iree) and Kellie, one from America another from Canada.

An Egyptian! i forgot his name xP he played really good!

Penny and her 100Plus. eh i'm taller than her wei. hahahah.

focus nice.

focus also nice.

GROUP PHOTO! there were more YWAMers than BJ ppl i think!

One of the BEST floorball 'trainings' EVER =D

With ZhuQing, Josh the Aussie and Adrian the Korean-looking Indonesian.

Post-Exam

2009-10-29T21:24:00.007+08:00

So, how was the exam?

It was okay.

Which is good, I think.

Results, results.

And this time round the results do matter (before this they didn't really, but now.. there's weight added!).

But I'm not one to fret over results (at least until 5 minutes before the teacher starts giving the papers out) SO.

What to do? Now that the exam's over!

Okay la, before that. I've finished something I started on since primary school. I started it kerana dipengaruhi oleh kedua-dua abang saya and also cuz I like it!

It's interesting.

Reading's always good for you, right?

And so I finished reading Misteri Naga =D something you'd never heard of before unless you also happen to read those japanese-translated-int0-malay comic books like Doraemon, Mutiara Naga, Qtaro, Dr Slump...

This one!

Thanks to some kind people who translated the books from Jap to English and uploaded it onto the Net, i know exactly what happened at the end d =D something i've been wanting to know since primary school!!

Okay, besides that!

Television!

Sooo many episodes of this to catch up on.

Meet the Natives, a new documentary on NatGeo. VERY VERY interesting!! Yes, you should watch it xP

Then of course,

not this blog i mean. The other two :) cuz we're kinda short on writers now? Oh well. It's fun anyways.

And last, but not least.

FLOORBALL TRAINING. dumdeedumdum!

Yes, i have survived the 26-day abstinence. hahaha!

Oh wait. I nearly forgot.

One more thing.

Okay, I've said floorball d. What could possibly be next..?

Believe it or not, it's gonna be my FIRST time drinking my own starbucks cup (not the cup, the coffee i mean but.. you get it lah).

And..

..I'm not even paying for it! Someone else is!

:D :D :D

Thank you, Tan Wei-Lynn. I really appreciate it!

Oleh sebab dia terlalu terharu atas jasa dan bimbingan saya dalam mata pelajaran Geografi.. hahahah.

PS: i've deleted my link list cuz i too lazy d xP

The Million-Dollar Bio Question

2009-10-19T20:41:00.002+08:00

Okay, three food samples.

A = starch

B = glucose

C = sucrose

They're all hydrolysed (by boiling in dilute hydrochloric acid then neutralised with sodium hydrogen carbonate).

Then they're tested with Benedict's solution.

Will all three test positive?

Of faith

2009-10-16T14:31:00.000+08:00

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV)

Faith acts as if that which is hoped for is ALREADY a reality.

Disappointed.

2009-10-11T21:22:00.003+08:00

That I've been deceived.

That what I believed to be true all this while, is actually nothing but a degrading lie.

Call me a fool for only realising it now.

Darn you tricksters.

...

And it was one day before the exam that she realised that..

..Malaysia's beloved Ministry of Education has taken William Somerset Maugham's short story, 'The Lotus Eater', and stripped it bare of its literary beauty.

The horror!

And they still call it 'by William Somerset Maugham' and made me think that his writings were that simple.

The short story, according to our beloved ministry:

'In 1913, I visited a friend who lived on the island of Capri. Capri is a most beautiful island in the Bay of Naples. From the island, you can see across the water to Mount Vesuvius on the mainland of Italy. ...'

What Mr Maugham really wrote:

'Most people, the vast majority in fact, lead the lives that circumstances have thrust upon them, and though some repine, looking upon themselves as round pegs in square holes, and think that if things had been different they might have made a much better showing, the greater part accept their lot, if not with serenity, at all events with resignation. They are like train-cars travelling forever on the selfsame rails. They go backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards, inevitably, till they can go no longer and then are sold as scrap-iron. It is not often that you find a man who has boldly taken the course of his life into his own hands. When you do, it is worth while having a good look at him. ...'

Gosh. From something so pretty to something fit for primary schoolers!

A short one.

2009-10-11T16:00:00.002+08:00

If only the exam was a week later, then i'd have more than enough time to get everything in.

If only the exam could come (and end!) faster, then i can get on with other stuff.

What made my Friday nice.

2009-10-02T22:56:00.003+08:00

He.. was a real patience-tester. haha. But it was good =)

Ephraimites and Seri Cahaya Orphanage kids (just a few of them). Our 4th time there d I think.

Pastor stopped the van at the side of the road next to the airport runway.. to see a plane fly over us and land. hahaha. 2nd time d!

And although Ephraim was the nearest, I think we were the last cell group to eat here lol

Kangaroo satay.. Ordered horse but they didn't have. Ah. Wasted. haha.

Pls don't misunderstand. Eulene isn't what made my friday nice. Watching her struggle to bite off the piece of kangaroo meat from the satay stick.. THAT was what made my Friday nice xP

Smart ppl.

2009-09-28T16:59:00.005+08:00

Like me.

And my brothers.

It runs in the family!

hahahah. xP

So you see right, he found this out.

It's cool if you're using Windows (sorry, apple users! ahemwei-lynnahem) and you have multiple programs running at once.

Try pressing alt+tab.

=D i like.

Vista is even better! You can press alt+tab and it looks nicer, or..

tab+windowskey.

We were so impressed we both did it over and over again a few times cuz it's so fun. hahah.

What I'm Reading.

2009-09-22T12:13:00.004+08:00

*note: all the pictures are off the Internet, i didn't take them.

Of awesome books that you can't put down, to books you wish you didn't have to read.

What I want to read right now:

Lent by Pei. I know the cover doesn't scream READ ME but it's a really really really good book! The wordful descriptions capture the scenes and the feelings behind them very well. Usually I don't like reading details authors write that don't really matter, but this book is really detailed and somehow you actually enjoy all those small details.

But I'm forced to put it down (I'm one-third through) to read:

I'm reading Physics now. Doesn't it look so darn exciting? Then Chem, then Bio. Oh, joy!

Physics is beautiful, bytheway =)

The big momma of all horrible books they force down your throat. Gosh. I dread trying to memorise all the details.

So yeah, in conclusion, I like reading. hahahaha.

Happy Raya! =D

2009-09-20T16:58:00.003+08:00

Thanks Amy :) and also for the nasi minyak, chicken curry, beef stew-thingy and pickled salad.

Once I Caught A Fish Alive

2009-09-10T18:21:00.004+08:00

Actually i've caught a fish alive many times. lol

But that's not the point.

The point is:

No i'm not getting nostalgic over some vaguely-remembered childhood!

Okay you see right:

'Why did you let it go?

Because it bit my finger so,

Which finger did it bite?

This little finger on my right.'

The big question: WHY is there a 'so' there? What does it mean? Cuz it doesn't seem to bring much sense/meaning to the phrase.

Three possible answers.

1. Because it bit my finger [like] so.

2. Because it bit my finger so [I let it go].

3. The word 'so' is meaningless - it's just for the rhyme.

I don't like the third option cuz it doesn't explain anything!

So yeah. What do you think?

who ever said nursery rhymes were easy to understand? they shouldn't be teaching kids these cuz even i don't know the meaning behind the words hahah

If I didn't leave..

2009-09-06T00:59:00.002+08:00

..I could've gotten a medal.

But between a medal, and a bucketload of work and presure and getting 14 other girls to play...

...I'll never regret leaving.

In brief.

2009-09-03T15:23:00.002+08:00

My BM tuition teacher, after marking my essay, wrote (among other things):

...kamu telah mencemarkan bahasa... (and she underlined 'mencemarkan'!)

MY KARANGANS ARE GOOD. But you see, i was in a crappy mood so i like crapped out the pendahuluan. It was like something translated from english, flowery sentences and all.

Then it had red marks all over.

Before i picked that essay i wanted to do a surat kiriman tak rasmi, but my teacher was like (in BM): you're so good d pick something else.. surat is for weak ppl..

hahaha.

oh. i lost TWELVE PERCENT in chemistry! i could've beaten the highest fella you knowwww.

but you see, my cations somehow went to my ANODE, and my anions to my cathode.

wah so wrong. 12% gone like that!

Of floorball.

2009-08-28T12:30:00.002+08:00

Asking people to join a floorball tournament one week before the day itself and the deadline's already passed... wahh.

And I wonder why people hate being keeper so much... hahaha.

I hate begging and bugging but sometimes you've gotta do what you don't like.

And then there's this short guy who keeps giving lame suggestions. LOL. And then asking Alex to call his parents so him and Ivy can play.

I'm short of one person. Or two people, if things don't work properly.

They should.

By faith?

Half-frozen Durian

2009-08-23T22:38:00.003+08:00

Rocks.

Especially if it comes from an old Indian man's garden who's a former English teacher and your mum's friend and lives 5 minutes from your house and has a really awesome garden with all sorts of trees.

And of course, A DURIAN TREE.

A durian tree in your backyard! =D

Anyways.

It's.. cold, sweet (I still don't like bitter durians), gooey, ice-creamy...

...best durian ever.

Minuman Percuma!!!

*A true Recess Revolution story I posted up on the revo website d

So yeah, as the title suggests, we did what many other schools'd already done: Give out free drinks!

Well we figured why not? So before the day itself our RR team contributed some money (about RM5 per person) and I topped it all off to get a pretty RM40.

So on Thursday me and Peili went up to the canteen tauke. Honestly, Peili does have more guts than I do lol and she said the first few words until I caught on and together we explained to the tauke that on Friday, we wanted to buy 80 cups (at 50 sen each) of drinks.

He said okay. I mean he was so... normal. As if something like this happened to him everyday hahah. We did tell him it's a CF thing, and it's just for ANY student, first come first served.

Friday came, and I forgot it was a combined recess due to the Merdeka celebrations, but our drink-giving went on very well. In fact it was kinda even better cuz the lower-form and upper-form RR groups combined this time.

First I was a bit freaked out cuz the canteen people placed our 80 cups alone by the corner of the drinks table, and at the other corner, drinks were still being sold as usual. So once everyone came we went up behind the counter of the drinks table.

And we starting saying FREE DRINKS HERE! and MINUMAN PERCUMA! and stuff like that. At first people didn't believe us, they bought their drinks as usual and didn't want the free cups of drinks. But soon a few people caught on and a few drinks were taken.

The momentum soon grew and more and more people came and they were like: Serious ah??? Some even asked why, and we just said we wanted to bless them. It was really good (and fun) as people just came up, with their shocked faces and all and smiled thankfully at us. The expression on their faces were priceless!

One or two students even came for a second round or to take some for their friends. A few even took a drink from our corner, and went to PAY for it!

In about 10 minutes (i think - it's kinda hard to keep track of time when you're doing something like this hahaha) all the drinks finished.

So, all in all, I'd say it was really, really good! Before we started this, I kept on wondering WHY are we giving out free drinks, I mean does it even make ANY positive impact?

But, at the end of the day, we didn't say anything like "Jesus loves you" but all we wanted to do was freely give as God had done for us, and to just SHOW God's kindness to the students.

Well yeah, RM 40's kinda a big sacrifice for us students, but, as we all know, God gave a much, much bigger sacrifice for us.
