Meaning of Life

Ah.. it is always good to know and hear something that is thought provoking.. these words are like food feeding my mind and heart... and yes, my mind and heart is hungry for wisdom.. oh sophia :p

Whenever i hear something great, i would want to so much share it with people, and that is one of the main reason this blog of mine is established. today i went to church for a vigil prayer for students who are going to sit for their examination.. and some of the words that the priests said struck me

1) Life does not end when u reach your destination. Life is a journey from birth till death.

Normally, we set a goal for ourselves, for example, i would want to be a doctor, pilot, or a psychologist.. and when we get there, our life did not end. Life is a journey, and not a race to a destination.. that is why, even after reaching our life's destination, we still continue on living..
which brings us to the second point

2) Life is a journey. Slow down and ENJOY it~

Often a time, we find ourselves so busy in our work that we forget we are living. Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy

3) You go to church, not to find Jesus. You find Jesus in your life's journey. And then you come to church and give Him thanks.

If you can't find Jesus in your life's journey, you are lost. A church is not a place to seek Jesus, rather it is a place of worship and giving Him thanks. Have u thought of it that way?

4) Future is not what that will become of you. It is what YOU make out of it. (Manikam, 2007)

Awesome quotation from Fr. Andrew Manikam. We should seize opportunity, and not just let it come. WOW!! so good

Hope that these quotation will help you to realize more about life and treasure it. As Mr Franklin says it,

"When realization occurs, that is the time when growing occurs. Because when you realize something, you know what is the problem and the problem is no more a problem. A problem is a problem because you don't know the problem. (Morais, 2007)

Stingy-ness

I am a very stingy person.. why u ask me? erm.. i don't really like to spend my money unneccesarily. i rarely buy anything for myself, except for food that is.. clothing also very few la..

where do i get this attitude from? my dad definitely.. haha.. so let's check how stingy i actually am ya..

Shoes: Haven't bought a pair of shoes in.. let's see... 3 years
School Bag: Haven't bought any in... 2-3 years
Wallet: the last time i bought my wallet in in 2002 i think.. LOL
Socks: last bought in 2004-2005 i think
Underwear: 2-3 years also la..
Pencil box: Had been using the same old pencil box which my sis bought for me in 2004.. so 3 years liao.. the last time i bought a pencil box was........... i can't remember

So where i get all these things if i don't buy them?? ok now the list

Shoes: My brother's shoes.. have been wearing 2 of his shoes which he doesn't wear anymore..

School bag: My brother's bag as well.. last time he uses it to go school.. i would assume when it
was ninja turtle was still popular... a good 10 years? wah.. the bag i am using got 10 years history.. antique man.. hahaha

Wallet: Last time the blue colour 1, my sis bought for me. Now the black colour one is my bro give me

Socks: Last bought in pasar malam.. now those all got holes, but still wearing.. then got some socks as present last year.. hurm.. not bad

Underwear: Ah.. this one i bought myself la.. haha.. eh wait.. did i? or was it a present? hurm.. forgot liao.. also got holes all around *oops*

Pencil box: sister bought for me.. still using now..

now u see how stingy i can be? you might be thinking that i got things because people gave me, but not really... if people don't give, i still won't buy, will keep using the old thing as long as it is still use-able.. hahaha

i feel pity to my future... erm.. girlfriend for having a stingy bf like me :p

so you should be lucky for not becoming my gf.. whoever is reading this.. wakaka XD

God Bless~

oh ya.. maybe one thing is i got lots of God's blessing.. so that is why eventhough i don't buy, i get.. see how He works? hee~

Farewell Party

Today there was a farewell party for a friend of mine by the name of Paul. the party was held in church and it was a potluck...

well before the event, me and Adrian(president of the Altar Server) was very worried because very few people came up and say that they would contribute something to the potluck.. so we just hope for the best today..

but we ended up with too much food.. haha.. which is a good thing.. no food was wasted however.. we like typical Malaysians... 'dapao' la.. wakaka

a few senior server was there.... namely Clement and Julian.. it was good, brings back memories about how i sooooo love to serve with them

Marcus, Paul, Julian, Clement.... last time it was really encouraging to serve with them on the altar.. I would just feel fun, and the joy was there... hard to put the feeling into words i guess..

Memories of the past flood back to me, our PD trip in 2002, a really awesome trip which i still remember clearly.. Lawrence was there at that time and it was good... it was the time that we really bonded with each other.. Last year's Genting trip was not that bad also..

Besides servers retreat, sunday school's retreat also came back to me..

Form 1 (2001) : IJ Convent
Form 2 (2002) : PD retreat (Servers)


College (2006): Genting (Servers)

Somewhere in between 2002 and 2006, went to Ipoh for confirmation camp and Kickstart in church. There was once also when i went to Penang and that was in Form 3 i think.... oh just remembered.. i went for a Bible camp in Archdioces Pastoral Centre in form 4 i think.. or was it form 5? either 1 la.. haha.. can't really remember well..but the memories are still there.. haha..

Oh College General(Penang) is awesome.. if u can see the sun rising at the chapel, it's really really breathtaking..

Everytime go for church outing, definitely will have some issues going on...DEFINITELY... more often than not, it's about two parties arguing and i would be the bystander.. hahaha.. everyone would get themselves involve in the conflict, so i be spectator only lor..

oh, coming back to the farewell, it was a good time to chill around since most of us are going our separate ways soon.. there are so much food that everyone ate till their content and yet still got extra

Paul says "this is better than buffet man." hahaha

there have been a few farewell's this year.. starting with Ade, Rachel, now Paul, and very soon Micky i suppose..

Well to those who are reading this, i think not much you will understand.. haha.. sorry for that, just want to jot down some great memories of mine, because the feeling is there...

God Bless~

Listen

Steamboat Night

yesterday, my group and I gathered to discuss about our presentation for MC 100.. and our topic was on... erm... evie what was it on again?? XD

something like how to conduct effective group meeting la.. and although our group took quite some time in discussing about it, we did finish quite a big portion of it.. which is really good..

so what we planed to do for our presentation was... to make video clips and show it in class.. so Mr. Lam took our his camera and his wonderful dipod(later it became a tripod). then we started to act some scenes.... but we burst out with laughter..

oo oo.. before the shooting of the scenes.. some things that are said are soooo funny..

Scene 1...

Meng: Make the scenes now la..

Evie: Don't 1 la..

Meng: Y? you want to go back make up is it?

Evie: Duh! *showing her duh! look to meng*... and seriously.. what evie did at that moment got us all laughing out loud.. literally.

Scene 2

Evie: Jian, no cap allowed in the scenes
Jian: I don't care.. my hair so messy
Evie: Meng, ask Jian to take off his cap for the scenes..Jian u can go and put water on your hair..

hahaha..

Now after the first shooting scene, we played back the scene on the camera.. and then Meng suddenly realizes something (which he should have in the first place). Then he asked his sis..

Meng: eh.. this camera's voice recording spoilt already right?
Meng Sis: Yup *her look when she said 'yup' is like SUPER HAPPY*(Maybe u guys didn't realise it, but i did..)

then our efforts are in vain and we were hungry.. so went to eat steamboat... yay.. BBQ steamboat, 19.80 eat until u die.. literally..

reach there, raining that time, then choose a nice place and start cooking already.. it had been a long time since i ate BBQ steamboat.. and it was great this time.. a time to chill and eat and laugh..

all of us ate a lot and Evie... well she got unwell from eating too much *didn't know that that could happen to her o.O*

i ate and ate and ate.. didn't really felt full yet when all of them say they are soooo full.. kept on eating.. after finish eating, then only i felt full when i was on my way home.. hahaha

pictures of that night

Photos came from her phone.. this is Evie

This is Jian

This is the lovely but always PDA-ing couple, Meng and Shyuan

And of course.. this GAYA person must be.. me lar..

Hmm.. after steamboat.. something extraordinary happened some more.. i was on my way home, in the Purta LRT.. and reading the book that Evie borrowed to me..

in front of me are 3 malay guys.. and i was listening to my MP4 at that moment.. so i wasn't really listening to what they are talking about..

after a while, i got bored of the book and kept it in my bag.. and then one of the malay guy in front of me looked at me while saying to his friend

"eh ya juga ye.. dia ni comel juga" o.O i was erm... dumbfounded.. i just smiled at them.. maybe they thought i didn't hear them speaking cause i was listening to my MP4, but i did..

i soooo want to say to them.. "Aku comel ye? terima kasih ye.. "

hah hah hah

God Bless~

Of old man and women

yesterday i went cycling around my taman, and went to a field. that field have the reflexology place, where you can walk on the stone and get your feet 'massaged'... hahaha

so when i reached there, i saw a group of old men sitting around the table and chatting with each other.. i didn't really look much at them, lest they think i am disrespectful to look at them so long.. i went to get my feet 'massaged' then i left.. pain man.. hahaha..

then i continue my journey on my bicycle and i cycled to the other side of the field. and to my amazement, i now saw a group of old women sitting together having their chat.. LOL.. sexist group?? XD

maybe these old women are the wives of the old men?? since their husbands got their men talk, they also want their women talk.. LOL.. just a thought that came through my when i saw that..

then i thought to myself... where would i be if i am old? would i be with a group of old men? mixing with old women as well? or would i already be dead?

God knows..

Have a nice day and

God Bless~

Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never
coming round
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to
the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best
of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see
the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of
something wild
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying
like a child in your arms
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've
got to get out and cry
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see
the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

INSTRUMENTAL

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always
wanted to be
Turnaround, Every now then I know you'll always be the only boy who
wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as
magical and wonderous as you
Turnaround, Every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's
nothing that I just wouldn't do
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
Turn around bright eyes
Turn around bright eyes
Turn around

Love is Beautiful

Enjoy~
