and tmr is even hotter..42C
well, i forgot where i heard this, but christians are supposed to be great ppl, even if the weather is bad.We're not supposed to let the weather influence our mood.. because it obviously isn't anybody's fault. Well, u can blame it on God a bit, but that'd be dumb.. hehe.So just try to cope with it, and remember, God never made us to be perfect. U can slip sometimes, but remember there will be consequences..

Well, today, went out with my friends.. flet, gab, jasmeer..met them at sch at about 10 am.. although it was supposed to be 930..darn the no 11 bus has dwindled to onli one i think.. i see the same conductor all the time now.. and the fare has gone from 70 cents to 90 cents.. ^^; well, anyways, we went walk walk or kai kai and had a drink or yam cha at ala carte.. man the milo peng is 1.70.. lol. then we walk walk again at tun jugah parkson and sp.. donno lar.. we made so many rounds around the triangle today i lost count.. haha. then 12, we had lunch at hartz chicken(flet's idea).donno why, maybe juz breaking his diet(he's a lot thinner now.. quite sexy, u know.. wow!lol) although i didnt quite favor the idea, i ate until i got bloated... and onli managed to eat one round of ice cream haha.. man 8 or 9 pieces of chick! yucks........hehe.anyways, later we walk walk again from the triangle back to sch then back to the triangle again.. shish.. and i went back at about 4 pm.. that's the end of the day with my friends.. quite fun hehe.had a few laughs and all that. ho ho..

ok, time for review..The Five People You Meet in Heaven.well, basically, it's about the life and death of a guy who lived in a small town at the end of the rail working as maintenance at a sort of recreation park where u have rollercoasters and stuff like that.. he's juz like any normal man, been to war, hurt his leg, left his dream of becoming an engineer, took over his dad's job when he died.. hated his dad becoz of the abuse he had to endure becoz dad was a drunkard.had a beautiful wife he loved and lost young.. the normal things in a normal man's life.. the book tells about the five ppl who made a difference in his life,or the ones whom had their lives changed becoz of him.some whom he had very scarce memory of, some who lived decades before he was even born, some he loved, some he hated, and some he killed,and some who made his life a seemingly living hell because of one little incident which seemed so innocent and harmless. that's wat this book is about.. watever u do, there are consequences..and watever ur forced to do, it's because u were meant to do it.nothing in life is a mistake.and every 'mistake' u think u made might just as well end u up in your real heaven, home.Because that is exactly what God told us heaven would be. He told us He would set up a home for every one of his children in Heaven.
and then again, i'm also currently reading Veronica Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho.and i wondered, wat if we decided on suicide?wat if we never made a difference, or others never got a chance to make a difference in our life?wat happens then? the line would be cut, there wouldn't be FIVE people.. and maybe that is why those who commit suicide end up in hell.. because they never found their heaven.they cut the line.and when u go berzerk and start killing everyone, of course u cut every line lol.. ^^ but this is juz a theory.. nt bible teaching.. haha. but anyways, ppl, juz live ur lives everyday without worrying that watever u do might be wrong, might be something God didn't plan for u to do. becoz His plan might not be the same as yours.and that wouldn't be a mistake either. =)

Bought 2 Books Today

Hey hey cherny and other ppl, sorry i messed up the blog yesterday.. i put it in the wrong page.. haha. well, anyways, today bought 2 new books with my popular card. 34.90 each.. darn, the diff between the thickness.. the bigger one, about 3 times bigger than Veronica Decides to Die(Paulo Coelho) is I Know This Much Is True(Wally Lamb). I know u guys barely heard these authors before.. but i think they are great books.. especially paulo coelho's. it really touches on real life and the human psychology..very very nice.. although it's expensive..... sigh.i recommend it to everyone who has a hard time finding something to live for..and The Five People You Meet in Heaven is also good.. reading it on ebook on my bro's comp...hehe

I'm Back!

well, I've been back about thrice already but since my computer ALWAYS has bugs, i could never get online and fix up my blog.. Sorry lar ppl, nt rich enuf yet to buy a laptop for myself.. hehe.So, for the benefit of anyone who still don't know where i have been for 6 months, I am now studying as a JPA sponsored student at UTM KL city campus (not UTM JB). The place i study at is called Pusat Persediaan Kolej Teknikal Jepun(PPKTJ).It prepares us to go to Japan to further our studies in kousen(technical colleges).and no, i DO NOT know wat course I'm going to be taking yet, although it's definitely something to do with engineering courses.

Life at Hostel and Campus

I live in a external hostel about 20 mins to KLCC by taxi.The rooms are in units of 2 rooms per unit, 2 beds in a room and a bathroom and toilet for a unit. Pretty big room.. except i cant seem to put my stuffs in the right positions, so my table's freaking messy.. my roommate's a Penangite, Dota crazy and always studies last minute until crazy with his other Penangite friend. next door is a sabahan and a seremban guy. all speak mandarin one.. my roommate knows hokkien though.. diff from kuch hokkien.. our 'peng' is their 'pui' and our 'kolien' is their 'kolen'.but some things never change, like 'lam pa'. lolz. =D And at sch, now learning jap language, chem, phys, maths(now in BM and eng, next yr in jap).. and english(donno why we have to learn such formalized form of english.. crazy..)my scores so far in the exams are pretty satisfactory, but i think i didnt do very well in the exam last week..ah disappointed, but cant do anything about it i guess.

Cut off from the world

Well, looks like i havent been updated very much about all you guys in kch and in labuan and everywhere else.. So sorry, but my sis is already complaining about my RM20++ sms bill.. haha... i mean, come on, Rm20 ONLY?? lolz.. better i get prepaid n register for powerpack.. sigh.. well, anyways, i'll try to catch up on u guys by reading blogs.. but i think im too lazy to read liaw after reading so much japanese.. haha.. darn, the language is complicated.but still, it's nice learning the language..

My new hobbies

well, I have new friends and am in a new place now, and thus, new hobbies..currently hooked on Dota Allstars.. and everyday eating chap fan ranging from 2.50 to 4.00 ++ for only 1 meat and 1 veg.. darn bloodsuckers.. hehe.nt exactly a hobby but didnt really eat a lot of these kinda stuff in kch.n also beginning to love the nasi lemak and the belacan here, although still nt used to that burning spicy sensation which is totally out of the world..(shish, cant they make it smell better instead of juz making it spicy).Next, is sleeping in class... especially maths and phys class.. the teachers nvr look at u, they're too busy reading the comp.. haha.. nt my usual habit in school although it's common to get dizzy and talk in class.

The Weirdest thing

Got back on saturday with my sis.went to mass at st faith's starting at 9++ till 11 pm(dont think they call it a midnight mass hehe).sunday, my sis' fren came for a holiday(dont know if he's her boyfriend.. but believe it would be so in half a year or so.. haha). yesterday brought him to hai pa wang for seafood.... yum yum.. 8 dishes, mind you.usually we call 4 or 5 plates nia.wow.. hehe. the usual mydin(donno hw u spell it.. malik mydin?haha), homemade tofu,roasted chicken,bamboo clams(cute lil things,nvr ate them be4.),o chien(something like a pizza with er.. clams i think.. they're bitter.eaten with soya sauce..),big head prawns, and the famous baked crab of the restaurant.Hey, I'm way off the topic.. haha.. well, actually, during that time, our house was almost broken into.. the burglars had broken the chains on our side door, but our extra protection stood firm. but the front doors weren't extra protected, so they easily broke the chains and the glass door.But the weird thing is, they never managed to get it and steal anything.suppose we came back at the right time..or someone else saw them and they ran away. close call, man, the locks were free, only a few minutes more and..... *sigh of relief*

Ending Credits

Oh yea, happy belated Christmas.Hmm.. Being in KL for 6 months has really severed every part of my Christian life.I havent found a church in the vicinity of my hostel yet..sigh.. anyways, pray for me, fellow brothers...so that i won't get too influenced by my buddhist and pagan friends.And all those who remembered me and kept on msging me and filling me in about frens here, a big THANK YOU and a big big *HUG* for ya.(no credit at all for fletcher.. that dieting piece of ..cake) hehe.

Leaving soon...

The JPA lady called me this morning when I just woke up at 8.30 am. wow! I accepted, and she said I have to register at UTM on Wednesday morning! Goodness, doesn't she realize I'm from the East? So, I'm rushing up and down now to get everything settled and packed.. and also to pass my responsibilities in class to the other treasurer. This is so crazy... >.< Well, I suppose my flight will be tomorrow.. most of the flights are fully booked though... okay.. so, goodbye ppl.. pray for me..

So you would come

VERSE 1:
Before the world began,
you were on his mind
And every tear you've cried
is precious in his eyes
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
so you would come

VERSE 2:
Nothing you can do
can make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Can make Him close the door
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son
And everything was done
so you would come

CHORUS:
Come to the Father
though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word,
the power of His Love
And everything was done
so you would come.

I pray for all atheists and doubtful 'Christians', that they would come to the Heavenly Father and realize how small they are compared to Him. Show them, Lord, the blasphemy of Satan who have controlled our thoughts and hearts for so long. Jesus, I pray that You would show them how truly powerful You are, that You are not one of those cliches in hero movies, that You are truly great in Power and in Truth. In Your most precious name, I pray. Amen.

Thoughts

Thoughts

My thoughts are as swans,
They flutter on,
Day by day,
They’re sometimes bad,
I do regret,
They’re sometimes sweet,
God loves that,
For moments though that which I love,
My thoughts are of the Lord above,
Of how He loves a girl like me?
A holy, blameless girl To Be?
I think of how He bore the pain,
To set a sinful world of shame,
Free to be forever more,
That if they only accept His Name!
May I never boast of I?
But of the One whom gave to I,
The gift . . . to think.

The simple truth.

Well, I have been pondering on and on about the Japan diploma scholarship.. with my sis giving more info about japanese graduates unable to find a job in M'sia... about how bad those jap companies are... and also the difficulty of doing exams and everything in japanese... It really freaks me out, you know.. So, the last two nights, i have been praying for the same thing, "God, give me an answer..Why aren't you telling me what to do? I wanna do your will." Well, until this morning, I really didn't think I would get an answer from God...becoz i haven't been very close with God these past few weeks and I felt him far and discreet.. since i've never felt that spiritual thingy anyways.. However, this morning.. I got the simplest and most unpredictable answer (for me, anyways), which none of you would understand.. It wasn't like God spoke face to face with me or a burning bush and stuff.. I think that'd kill me instantly.. ^^ Anyways, I was in church, singing the songs like usual... I love singing the songs, you know.. and while i was singing this seemingly unrelated song(i think it was Praise the Lord or something.. i forgot! haha), one of the verses just touched me at that very instant and God was like telling me, "Hey, I'm still here.. and you've got your answer already. Why are you still asking?" and there goes my tear ducts.. it just started feeling warm around my eyes.. brimming with tears.. immediately, my heart cried out, "Thank you, God.. Praise you, King of Kings." So, the simple truth and answer.. is that I'm going to take up the programme.. I don't know what's going to happen in the future.. but I guess I'll just need to live one day at a time and let God worry about the future.. hehe =) and thanks for all the support and information given by all of you, my dear dear friends..

Everything In Japanese!

Hey guys... seems there's another thing about this Japanese programme.. It's engineering courses, no doubt.. not technical.. but another thing is.... EVERYTHING will be in Japanese.. even exams... study everything in 2 years??wow.. intensive language classes.. this is from recom.org :

we are all still learning from zero. so, just don't worry too much. try your best to memorise the characters...we finished hiragana already and next week, we will take on katakana and kanji. our teachers told us thatwe have to memorise 13 kanji every day. so you can see that our course is very intensive..

So, yea.... anyways, I'll give it a shot first and see how everything goes.... pray for me, people.... I love you... and I'll miss you guys.... haha.... never thought I'm gonna say that.. =P

What does your birthdate mean?

Your Birthdate: November 17
Your birth on the 17th day of the month suggests that you are very lucky financially, because this date indicates a solid business sense. Although you are probably very honest and ethical, this birthday enables you to be shrewd and successful in the world of business and commercial enterprise. You have excellent organizational, managerial, and administrative capabilities enabling you to handle large projects and significant amounts of money with relative ease. You are ambitious and highly goal-oriented, although you may be better at starting projects than you are at finishing them. A sensitivity in your nature, often repressed below the surface of awareness, makes it hard to give or receive affection.

Hey, how come it's so short? =P and 'world of business'? Well, to be honest I'm not very business-minded.. haha. anyways, I would like to try opening a company some time, if my job is appropriate.. =)

JPA scholarship offer

Hey, everyone.. breaking news.... very breaking news.. I am offered the JPA scholarship for the diploma in technical studies Japan. Here are some of the details i picked up from www.recom.org:

JPA_JPN I wish to introduce the Technical Study to Japan I am taking now. I spent around 10 months in KL and a year in Tokyo to study the Japanese language and some Maths, Physics and Chemistry (but our juniors have to study in KL for 2 years now, Japanese teachers are teaching them in KL). and went to the National technical college in Japan for 3 years. we will get a diploma from the college but we can continue our study in universities in Japan as third year students. and JPA is still sponsoring us. One may spend altogether 7 years to get a degree after SPM, but for those who dont care about time, this is a good choice, since you can master another language and try different life in Japan (staying in different places for language school, technical college and university). and the study in technical college is not so difficult, so you have time to do sth you are interested, like Robot contest, programming contest, music, sports or Japanese Karate, Judo, tea ceremony and so on. have a colourful and meaningful student life here. But the most important thing is, make sure that you are interested in engineering and have some confidence in your language. but it is not so difficult.

I would like to add some of my own points to this to prove my scepticism on this program.. If some of you didn't realize, the cost of living in Japan is rising rapidly, especially on Honshu island(capitol:Tokyo). This is definitely not a good sign because I don't know how much allowance would be given to me and either I can cope with it or not..Another thing is, exactly how many people are going to go with me? Will there be enough friends? It's a very hard choice, you know... As most of you know, I'm not that close with any of my friends, so I'm not much worried about leaving Malaysia... But the problems are still there... I don't know yet what choice to make.. Pray for me.. thank you.

my little thoughts

The problem with love is not that nobody understands it. It's not that it's confusing. The problem is that we all think superficially that love merely depends on or is reflected by how we feel.. I call these Feelings of Love. Feelings can change in a split second and it can never be fully understood, especially when it's mixed up. When you think of Love as merely a Feeling, you don't understand love, because you don't understand feelings. Try to look at feelings as triggers or switches which activate love. When you can understand this, you will see that love is actually about giving comfort and joy to the person that we love. And you will stop trying to satisfy your Feelings of Love and start being mindful of your thoughts and intentions.. You will be careful not to let your mind and feelings deceive and control you. When a person loses the Feelings of Love, he/she will usually say, "I do not love you anymore." and demands a break up. However, a person who fully understands the concept of love and doesn't depend merely on feelings to measure his/her love will continue to give joy and comfort to the person that he/she loves. Now, when it comes to romantic love, this topic becomes different because of our mindset, which describes this type of relationship a special type of relationship. In this context, the Feelings of Love are naturally stronger because of hormonal triggers. However, in truth, romantic love is the same as any other types of love, with exception of sexual contact and the concept of marriage.

Tired night..

So, hi again everyone... My template hunt has failed.. I don't know how to paste the template inside this blog.. I was hoping there were source codes or something, but it appears there were none.. Never mind about that.. My dear friend sent a forward tonight.. a sad story or something.. I'm still reading halfway.. and she told me one of my friends got scarred in the heart reading the story. And she's soooo sad coz the story she forwarded is so heart-breaking to this particular friend. Usually, when this happens, I don't know any way to comfort this forlorn soul.. Anyways, pray for them... If u need their names, that'd be hard.. I do not wish to disclose their names, thank you.. ^^ anyways, I hope things get better soon.. and my friend would resolve the matter fast. Hmm.. just now I played "The Sims" again.. haha.. must be too bored.. I created a family with a guy Jinn Li, Tan and a girl Jacqueline Tan.. ^^.. some of you would know who the guy is.. later im gonna make Cyril Agas and Sharon Chong.. kekeke.. Oh before I end this, my new line:
"The mind has no limits, yes, that is why you're constantly being fooled by it" =)

nice eh? for the Christians of course. If you're a Christian by name or 'officiality' but you're thinking, "Man, this guy is extreme and religious", then you're not a true Christian and I do pray that you would see the light soon.
And also, my old (not so old..two days nia.. haha) blog is athttp://escalion.blogs.friendster.com/the_bumblebee_page/
