Tragedy?

Two quakes hit Taiwan (4 confirmed deaths, 42 injured, 12 fires) , communication systems damaged, cables repair might take up to a month, heavy rain and flooding in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and other places. Chances of Tsunami to strike? Quite likely, not that I have my hopes up. Internet speed is trash at the moment in some areas, including mine. Not happy about it, especially when I'm downloading lots of things. Unbelievable this is. Hmm, hope things turn out better sooner or later. Is this a sign? Well, perhaps it is...

Moo Ho Ho~

Excuse the odd title. Actually, it came from one of Gaia's online mangas, so umm yeah, enough about that. Wanted to blog about yesterday, Christmas and the past few days.

So there I was, inviting people over for Christmas, haha, open day and stuff like that, you know. People ought to be arriving around 2.30 in the afternoon, this and that, according to my mom.

Okay umm, Sunday, 24th, attended evening mass, went for dinner, then went to do a little bit X'mas shopping for ingredients, started peeling onions, mom came home, took a quick shower, went out for the X'mas Midnight mass. Manzy's dad actually encouraged my dad to go too, so yeah, haha.

After mass was over, took some pics, err..tried to locate Jess, to no avail.. and then went home, started cooking, cutting onions and all. Did this all until about 2 - 3am, then went to bed.

Next day, Christmas, sister's birthday, 25th, Monday, woke up around 9am, did some work on my PC, showered, and then went to fetch Min from Bandar, she ate at pasar, and then came to my place. She insisted that she lock herself up in my room and wrap the presents she got for my family, and so I continued on to help my mom with the cooking and all that. About one hour (as stated by my mom, hilariously! XD) Min came out from my den, and helped out as well. My mom seemed exceptionally happy about this... >_>"

Okay, so after that, we took our break, waited for the people to arrive, first up was Ice, around 2.45, and then Louie, 2 minutes after that. Burt arrived shortly after too! After that, Kevin Siaw, and Kenny Siaw, both arrived (friend of my siblings). Well, we had our chit-chats, and then Manzy arrived with Chris, and behind them, Jerome! (With the Xbox of course, now where would J be without his Xbox? XD) Ahem, now, to my disappointment, only 3 of the Dragonz were there, and um, Jess and AJ didn't show up at all. Others had reasons of course, so I wasn't too grumpy about it. Besides! XBOX!!! XD Well, the usual party games we played..Halo 1/2 (No, Not half...), Kungfu Chaos, DefJam..etc.

Well, around 5, Manzy and Chris left, and so did Burt, but we managed to slice the cake, sing the birthday song and all that before they did. What's next is um, well, we played lots of games. The food was okay, if I must say so myself *ahem* =D

By 7.30, Louie left. Jerome's parents were out at some other party, so they couldn't come pick him up till 10. Hmm, the Siaws (pardon me for the bad pun) left around 10.20. Me and Min watched Rozen Maiden, up to 10.45, it rained, so we uh, had to help mom bring the clothes in. Anyways, after that we sent Min home, I bathed, well, then I called her. Talked on the phone till roughly around 1am in the morning and then went to bed as well.

Haha, overall, it was an excellent Christmas! Indeed it was, its going to be unforgettable, it is. I'll be leaving around February, well, not around, probably earlier, so I suppose I'll cherish my time here with my family, friends and loved ones. Hmm, then just recently, I've been recruited by a manga-scanlating group, The Strays. I'm currently working on Blue Dragon Ral Grado, cleaning and all. Until I can do translation, uhh, I'm stuck with cleaning and typesetting. That's cleaning dirty manga pages and giving them the english dialouges, in place of the Japanese ones.

Well, thats pretty much it, I heard from Ang our pendants are ready, and we're getting them this Friday. Going to lunch with Irene, Burt, Chris and Manzy, and then off to see my best mates. Alright then, I guess that concludes this entry, and to all I wish, Merry Christmas, may you have found something within yourself, or within others, now that this year is coming to an end. Hope theres more to next year than I am imagining right now. Lol, night folks.

Old Times Sake

Well..I'm up, and just like old times, I'm chatting with Min on MSN, only difference is now we're not using webcam..haha, plus..she's on the phone with her friend, so yeah. Well, I dunno what else to blog, but just now Irene, Burt, Manzy, Chris (Manzy's Chris) and I were at the cinema...watched Eragon. Err, its not bad, they didn't really leave the movie in a cliffhanger scene at least. Uh, we also played the Para-Para machine thingie in the arcade, which involves hand coordination movements to score points, much like DDR. Ah, we hung out at West Street, saw Ah Kao..and thats basically it. Tomorrow is the briefing meeting for the Walk-A-Hunt, I hope we do well and win something back XD Wish us luck! Sunday is the real thing btw, lol. Ahaha, I dunno what kind of shitty feeling I am having right now..its a mixture of sadness, happiness, anger...confusion. But well, I guess this is all, short entry yes, so good night.

*Ding Dong* Public Announcement~

Haha..Well, yesterday the Editorial Staff of SGS (Class) Magazine 2006, including me went to Berakas Beach. We're a whacky bunch of clowns. Even with the rain, we continued to play beach football. My first time, honestly. My team lost with the score 11 - 9. I scored 3 goals. Lol. 4 on 4~ Hmm, well, we couldn't barbeque under that condition, so we left to sir's house..where we played a drinking game, watched ghost, and ate like the hogs we are. Enjoyable it was~I took two shots of tequila and because I was full, decided to stop playing >_>

Okay, other than that...Should I say, good news or bad news? Haha, this is a bit of both really. I'll be leaving for Lim Kok Wing, 90% sure of this, around February, for the first intake or March, the second intake. If I go for the March intake, there are more risks, and if shit happens I will not be accepted. But if I go for February, I lose some time that I want to spend with Min. Ahaha, worry worry.

Earlier just now, I went to James Hon Marketing Agency in Kiulap to discuss with my dad's friends, where and what should I do before going to further my studies. Well, after all the hassle, my dad decided, why not Lim Kok Wing? The two choices for me were, The One, or Lim Kok Wing. Well, The One focuses on specializing on one course, and that won't give me any chance to diversify, if I wanted to. LKW has a large variety of course plans, choices, etc.

Well, I haven't been accepted yet, so yeah. Haha, oh, if I leave for January, my flight is on the 12th, 2nd Monday, of 2007. There, as you can see, its basically planned. But no matter what, I must pursue my future. I'll be doing what I love doing, art. Hmm, my only worry is Min. Haha, it's like leaving behind half of me, someone I must really care for. Haha, well, I guess I cannot do much once it happens. So...all the best then. To me, to everyone, to Min. I hope our relationship will endure the test of distance, and time. I pray with all my heart things will work out, even though not exactly like the way I want it, but just fine. I'll keep all my friends in my heart...Haha, and I hope they will do the same for me. But there's always that special spot for Min, the one and only queen of my heart. Ja, matta ne minna-san. I'll be seeing you guys around still, at least until I get the reply from LKW. Gonna go see the agent again soon to hand him my passport and Forecast result. Ahaha, okay then, signing off here~ =P

Climb the Highest Mountains...Swim the Deepest Sea

Ehseh. Stupid title eh? Anyways, I climbed 9 hills, and walked a long road today. I'm tired, exhausted, or whatever synonym you can find for it. Went with Burt, and at least this time I made it hm? Well anyways, since people are always saying that I'm fat, and need to grow taller, etc...this is what I'm doing. Pushing myself. But the results again, like I said before, is up to god. My mom thinks its because I don't play basketball that I am short. But damn, really, its in my genes already. Well, going to the beach this Sunday, tomorrow still have to go to school. I think I'm gonna crash first. See you guys around...Zzzz...Oh, Abigail left today. So...all the best to her, and God Bless. May all of us find our true calling, may it be now, or later. I'm going to check with Lim Kok Wing soon, and if its actually good, then hell, thats where I'm going, otherwise, somewhere else. Must first check fee structure, and all that. My dad agreed. Oh, my Christmas wishlist.

Here:

-Min

-For me and Min to keep going strong, and hold on no matter what...lol, I'm going to shape my future soon. There might be regrets on the way, but for her, for us, I'm going to do my best.

What's your purpose in life?

Really, up till now, I still ask myself this question at times, just to remind myself of certain things. What is your purpose in life? Where are your priorities? To achieve spiritual awareness, to live with friends, to live with your true love, to live with your family, to gain fame and fortune, or just to live your best, with everything in proper balance?

I believe sometimes your priorities must change, according to situations. It's like your needs and wants. You must know the difference, of what you need, and what you want. Definately, if you are poor, you won't save all your money, and then pool it just to buy say..a Mp3 Player? It is something to enjoy, but why not use it for your family, your future? Can't settle with a radio player?

Again, I must say it depends entirely on how the human brain reacts to certain things. Jealousy, envy, greed, or that 'must have no matter what' feeling. Know the ups and downs, risks involved before jumping into something, before buying something. Not pinpointing, but indeed, most of us, including myself, we ignore this fact at times. Then we look back, and say 'Oh, I shouldn't have bought this, could've used it right now when I needed it the most!'

Worst case scenario possible, let's say, you saved about $10, 000, after working for a long time. You decide to buy a car, because you see one of your friends having one. Suppposedly, because you have been obsessed with buying a car, you do not realize your father is ill with cancer, and needs to be operated. When the time comes, you'll regret, maybe. Some things are out of your hands, and of course, its not likely you'll know the future. Again, human errors hm?

Time is so short, time moves so fast. What to do with it? Spend it with friends? Your spouse? Your family? Working your ass off just to get yourself something you want? Really, what to do? Learn something? Haha, even I don't know for sure. But I can say, as for now, I do have a better balance of it, since I am very darn free from studies at the moment. I go to work in the morning, spend time resting, or going out with friends, or working out in the afternoon. I come home in the evening, or at night, depending on what I do in the evening, and try to spend time with Min, my family, or doing something worthwhile, like reading on extra stuff. Not one to show off, but yeah..I am not sure if it is balanced out or not. But I feel comfortable with it, I am not leaving anything out, am I? I do take care of my eating, if I can, but I am also trying to lose weight.

Oh, that reminds me. Opportunity cost, know what it means? It means the cost of losing one thing over another. You gain some, you lose some. You cannot get both things that you want sometimes. Its either one. You can try to balance out, but really. Look beyond the box, think outside the box. You may think you're making the right choices, doing the right thing, but are you really?

Example, I'll be using me. I will be leaving next year, so that means I have very short time left here. I cannot guarantee that I will see everyone in the near future, which I have no control of. So, what do I do? Who should I spend time with more? Who should spend time with me? Hahaha, of course, you already know. If you don't, and want to ask me, go ahead.

Life really sucks at some points, but you gotta live with the shit. Some people don't know, don't realize. I'm not sure I do either. But, yeah, the way you see the world, creates the world that you see. See beyond, put yourself in other's shoes, think carefully, make the better choices, not necessarily the CORRECT choice. Not only for YOURSELF. Don't waste your life away..(Au Contraire, Kevin) =P Well, I may sound like a hypocrite, after what happened to me, but yeah.

Just randomly ranting here. So don't mind me. All I know is, my priorities in order are : Min/Family, Friends, Future/Money, God, Self. Not the best, but I feel more comfortable with it this way. Although, the same may not apply to Min. I don't have much time to spend with her, because I have to go away soon and all. (Not so soon, but nyeh, I don't wanna leave...) On the other hand, I have no real idols, I'm not a rabid fanguy for any hot girls, actors, etc. Plus...no offense, but comparing real people you know with actors, and criticising them just because they don't have the looks and qualities of your idols is the worst thing to do ever. (Yes, I'm complaining...) God made me this way, and even if I tried hard to change, the result is still up to the Lord. He moulds us, and makes us the way we are. Not saying its wrong to have idols, but really, comparing them with your spouse, or friends, is the WORST thing to do. (In my case, I can tahan a bit lar, but too much also cannot...Ahaha, I just don't like people mentioning it too much all the time) It gets annoying. But in some special cases, I just put up with it. Idolizing is okay, but obssessing over is not. Once more, I hope I'm not offending anyone. And it's just ranting, so I may not be right either. Go figure. I'm not Superman.

Well, thats basically all for now. I'm not stressed, just hmm, having lots in my mind that I want to let out and I have nobody to let it out to basically. I do not want to be 'angry' or 'sad' or 'jealous' because apparently, those feelings don't belong to me anymore. I've lost the rights to feel that. All I can do is be happy, or pretend to be happy, or be quiet. Lol, good night folks. Take care, and once more, harap maaf for this entry. Bored to high heavens. 12.42am now, tomorrow still have to go school. Lol. >_>" Min, eventhough you're not reading this...haha, Love you, and Miss you. Be good, take care and see see first, if I'll go look for you. *public mwakz and hugz* Take care then dear. *pengsan tidur*

PS: Do not misunderstand. I am not going insane. I'm just rambling. May relate to certain ppl I know, but still, my apologies. Don't start flaming can already.
