Oh father of mine...

It was a cold, windy and rainy Saturday evening and I was out with my parents to dinner. That night I played "only child" because Josh was at a church event and Jared attended a birthday party. We had to bring umbrellas along as it was a really wet evening. Mom had one of her own and I shared a large golf umbrella with dad. Suddenly a gush of wind blowed at our direction. My umbrella flew right up! It was embarrassing and it happened right in the middle of busy Taipan! Luckily, there weren't many people around as it was raining; though I did saw a man walking nearby, trying hard to restrain himself from bursting out in laughter. As I struggled to keep the umbrella down, mom only helped by squealling (and giggling!). The wind was getting fiercer and I yelled at dad to help me pull the already malfunctioned umbrella down. However, before I knew it, dad was already running away towards mom. Yup, my dad only wanted to get away from that embarrasing scene as fast as possible! Anyway, I managed to get the umbrella down by forcing the umbrella against the strong wind. Dad only came back to help because mom told him to. Fathers can be heros to their kids. But I sure discovered that they can be pretty chicken themselves. Happy pre-father's day. =)

Tisbury Lane...Kota Kemuning...

She greets the day with her hair wet
She asks them to vacate the building
Because she's got a plan they don't know yet
And if it goes wrong, there'll be no one to see


If she could just get the word out
God knows she's trying
They're watching her with eyes closed
She's always stuck with the old route
Does anyone knock when they barge in to beat her down?
Will you come back?
It's all she wants to know
She knows she's part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It'd take a miracle
So that's what I'm praying for


No one can know just how she feels
She won't use the phone,
she's too tired to pick it up
She's going back to the old way
She sits in the classroom to learn with the others


Please don't give up when it's easy
Don't you know that me and Jesus will cheer you on?
He's the only one that will be constantly everything you need


Will you come back?
It's all she wants to know
She knows she's part of the problem too
Could she let it go?
It'd take a miracle
So that's what I'm praying for


Yeah

Fantastic Four

I just want to thank my ISP assignment group members for the efficiency and hard work that we put in together. To May, you're one of the best group leaders I've had so far (also one of the strictest!).Thanks for holding the responsibility so well. To Amy and Wan Yi, it was great working with you too! How I wish all my coming assignment groups for the rest of my semesters can be like ours. =)

Congrats Piao and Ju...Thanks Proton dude...

Congratulations to Piao and Judith on their beautiful marriage yesterday. May God bless this relationship which I often envy. Other than an additional source of ang pow for me, make sure you add population too Piao.

Many thanks to the Proton mechanic who bruised Min Ser and Uncle Weng Hou's ego by showing a pitstop-level performance on the tyre. Thanks to Min Ser and Uncle Weng Hou anyway for dirtying their hands in vain. Your help was and is appreciated!

To mei mei, you rock. =)

Betapa sakit-nya hati saya

I hate love songs...I love Relient K...

*don't know what to name this blog entry*

I'm so full of crap, got so much to do in college. I hope I get through. My weekend had its ups and downs. First, my anticipated basketball game in the morning only made me look like an idiot at the end. Okay Joel, you're officially retired from the game. Man, my stamina sucks!

Next, we skipped right to my evening. Mom gave me advice that I'll remember for a long time. She surprised me by actually showing concern when I didn't expect her to. She made me realised that I have to be considerate even though it may hurt. Yup, and it does hurt. It hurts so much to the point that I wanted to just push it all away, forget the memories. Sometimes I think I deserve it because of all my shit. Anyway I chose to follow mom's word, forget about neglecting and actually had a nice time dancing (for the first time!). Okay so the dance wasn't that romantic, thanks to my oh-so-stiff partner but it ended perfectly with a warm hug. To make things better, me and Abel watched Liverpool won the FA cup in an action-packed match. Hooray for Liverpool! Nice ending to the evening. Sorry Pa for making so much noise during the match and waking u up!

I actually don't feel like blogging much today so I'll just summarize it. There are some people that I would like to appreciate this week.

People I'm grateful for:

1. My mom. For being concerned for both me (and fatty).
2. Fatty. For wonderful memories together. I miss you greatly. =)
3. Abel. For still being my brother even after our altercation.
4. Joshua. Err...for being my brother too.
5. Sara. For the unexpected sms and for your concern.

Lessons learned:

1. Joel has no stamina.
2. You can't neglect problems, you face it head on even when it hurts.
3. A hug is worth a million bucks.

My day today on friday

I knew it wasn't my day or shall I say, Malaysia's day too when I woke up this morning to dress myself before going to college. Oh by the way, I love badminton! Me being a badminton fan together with my dad, was anticipating the match in the evening. Heck, I even skipped lecture to make it home in time to catch it. Anyway back to my bad karma in the morning. I broke my zipper while trying to zip up my pants. I know its pretty silly but a thought came to my mind right after it happened saying its not going to be exactly a good day. First, my group's firm in this business game didn't turn out so well. I found out that we were running out of funds. Second, I spent lousy money on lousy chicken chop for lunch. Third, I think I just screwed up my class quiz today. Fourth, my already huge workload for the weekend increased further. Time to be serious. Fifth, Malaysia lost to Denmark in the Thomas Cup semifinal.

Despite the un-perfect happenings today, there's still room for some positive thinking. So lets see, what are the positive things that happened today? First, my group isn't exactly the worst group and we're still making profit (hopefully it'll last!). Second, I calculated my individual assessment for one of my subjects and I have to say that I'm on course to passing the subject. Third, I'm happy to be working together with my marketing group members even though we aren't exactly hardworking...haha! Fourth, I had a great time watching the Thomas Cup with my dad. Screaming in excitement and criticizing each player's mistakes (like we can play so well lah) can be quite enjoying. Paul, now you know my dad acts like a kid at home right? Haha! Anyway to end this blog, kudos to the Malaysian team for trying hard despite losing and to the first doubles team, Koo Kien Keat and Chan Chong Ming; it was really exciting watching them beat the damn Danish All-England champions. Also, I say "bullshit!" to the Indian umpire who just loves the color red and yellow and has a liking of flashing them to the world whenever he gets a chance to.

Have a nice day people. =)
