Results!!!!

Hi people,

I'm one person who don't really like results. Cause is just painful or joyuos. Mine is mostly painful. So i'm the type of person who just don't like results. And my TOEFL results is back. I'm happy with it, cause i know the results is what i want. i was quite prepare for it.
Well, to score in TOEFL. The highest is 120 points and the lowest is 5 points. You can't score a zero cause you have to do at least one question in one section in order to move to the next section. Which consist Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing. So the lowest is 5points.
How do i do? ok. i ask Joshua Tan on how much he score for TOEFL, he say 118. which for me is crazy la cause i can't do it. I ask many people and they gave me a lot of number. Like 80, 88, 95, 110, 120. From gather information, I thought to myself that it is easy. So I told people i want to score 100, 85 is confirm in the bag, 78 is just lame. And really like to thank God that He gave me quite a good score, which is 81points. Is fair, and i like it. cause is like Kobe scoring 81points in basketball game. 81points which is quite high. 81 out of 120. 120-81=39. 39 points different. This is kinda cool la.
Thank you God for giving me a good score, i know You were there with me in the test guiding me through it with wisdom and knowledge. Was great experiences for me. the test is just very insightful to a lot of topics of today. My essay was....don't want to blog about it(want to know ask me).
So now is for me to move on, America, i'm one step closer to you now. God i know you are taking me on a journey in processing me to be more like You(Jesus Christ). So take me there fast. I want to get out of this rock fast and quickly. Just kidding. =)

with love,

FIBA or NBA

FIBA

Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateu
International Basketball Federation

Actually i prefer the FIBA rules than the NBA rules. i know is hard to tell the different between them. But they are different. To me, NBA is for entertainment and FIBA is more serious play. But both are serious. hehe. Even i play for 8 years of basketball career in school, i don't know all the rules. Only the offer rules called, i know.
There is a huge different in playing and refereeing. And usually refereeing is the hardest. i referee before and is not easy. Cause you are seeing 10 people on the court constantly moving even you have 3 other ref's to help you. And if you follow this year Olympics. there are so many calls that many of you might not know what the call is. Cause FIBA is more strict on the rules. Every 3-4 seconds sure there is a call, sometimes on travel, carry, off'def foul, 3 sec, and many more. Well this is FIBA.

I'm not a huge fan of the NBA. But i do watch the NBA cause astro hardly shows international basketball or college ball. i watch the NBA on how they play one on one or how they play tactics or how they run fast-breaks. NBA is just very entertaining.
here are the NBA rules

So here i give you a copy of the FIBA rules this year update.

Laying Down the Rules

I'm telling to all who don't know whether it is a 'swoosh or a 'tick'

Swoosh is the symbol of the athletic shoe and clothing manufacturer Nike. It is among the most easily recognized brand logos in the world.

History

The Nike "Swoosh" is a design created in 1971 by Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student at Portland State University. She met Phil Knight while he was teaching accounting classes and she started doing some freelance work for his company, Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS).

BRS needed a new brand for a new line of athletic footwear it was preparing to introduce in 1972. Knight approached Davidson for design ideas, and she agreed to provide them, charging a rate of $2 per hour.

In June 1971, Davidson presented a number of design options to Knight and other BRS executives, and they ultimately selected the mark now known globally as the Swoosh. Davidson submitted a bill for $35 for her work. (In 1983, Knight gave Davidson a gold Swoosh ring and an envelope filled with Nike stock to express his gratitude.)

In June 1972, the first running shoes bearing the Swoosh were introduced at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. Nike continues to use the brand today.

still don't believe, go wiki or answers, even better nike.com

don't you piss me off whether it is a swoosh or a tick or whatever related to Nike

truth,

Learn to Play

Hey yo,

Well i'm learning how to play the guitar by myself about 4 weeks already. I do think that am making good progress. Learning quite a few chords and scales. i know chords like C, G, D, A, E, B major. i know is a long way more before i can play a whole song.
Why did i pick up guitar a long time ago? hmm...i didn't really like playing any music instrument. And my parents force me to play the piano but i didn't really do well in that either. I manage to grade 3. And at that time was sought of my prime time in sports.
But i come from a music family, everyone and really everyone can play an instrument. Even my uncles and aunts can play. So in a way it is quite a lot of pressure. Not that i don't like music, i do like music, is that i don't really like playing a instrument.
What inspire to play the guitar? Is the young youth for the passion in worship. i think nearly everyone in the young youth cell can play the guitar. And you know what people say when you can play the guitar 'You will be a great leader in worship or leader some way' cause the guitar is the most transporterable instrument to carry. It brings a unique tune that people get emotionally easy. And seeing MK and MT and Ben playing the guitar on stage with full of enthusiasm. Really makes me want to play the guitar.
Well i'm taking it slow first. i want to learn the chords by heart. But i need to know how to strum guitar.

It comes from your heart.

Prayer

Prayer.
Is something so special to mankind.
It is a connection between men and God.
A prayer is powerful, it can touch thousands of lives.
A prayer can change, encourage, heal, help, bless, and etc.
A prayer means a lot to God.
But
Prayer

God can move us spiritually but we also must do our part.
Which is Action.

But
Sometimes God chooses to work supernaturally
Mostly we have take action.
Wait, Listen, Action.

America National Anthem

National Anthem lyrics

O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen thro’ the mist of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
’Tis the star-spangled banner! O long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner, in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our Trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

School Days

Hey schoolees,

I really do miss school a lot. SMSS. Every year i miss school even went i'm in school. school for me was like a get away from all the things around me. It was a place to have fun and enjoy the company of teachers.

I really miss all my friends from sri sempurna, those from my form and the rest of the other forms. I really do wish to meet up with you guys and just go for a lunch date. Happy times. Sad times. Drama times. Silence times. Danger times. i also miss all the teachers. The teachers there are the best, really do take care of me and mentor me in so many ways. I can say one thing that i still remember the school song and school pledge

School Song
Sri sempurna we pledge to you
Fulfill the vision of excellence
Dare to be different and be true
Sri sempurna we pray for you
Just in my dealings
To excel, serve and up hold
The Rukunegara
Shine for my king, nation and school
In all my ways acknowledge you

School pledge
"I pledge by the grace of God to honor my school, be just in all my dealings, to excel, to serve, uphold the Rukunegara, and shine for my king, nation, and school. In all my ways, I acknowledge God, and He shall direct my path"

Miss you school

Going for Dunk

I always wanted to dunk all my life. The feeling of being airborne makes me free. For those seconds in time, where things around me looks slow and fuzz, where everyone around me moving in slow motion. Is really what i want. To dunk. Well, i have been training hard and i believe that i'm reaching there. can touch the bottom of the ring already. My target is to really touch a whole hand on the top small box on the basketball board. I'll be jumping 5feet when i can dunk. Really i can't imagine myself dunking. Yet, i'm getting there. It will be a whole new level of basketball for me.

Modern Art

i love to draw modern art.
Many people would think is just simply draw then paint
But is more than that
i don't know how to explain
i just love drawing it and have it with many colors

Interior Design Obession

Interior design is something that is in my blood. As a kid i draw a lot of this pictures. i really do like it with all my heart. Some times i just want to remodel my house but i can't mom don't let =(. That is why i like to redo my room every 6 months. Just love it. i think is also due to OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) that i have. I need some thing different all the time. Well went i finish studying all my courses in Uni. Maybe i start studying in interior designing. Well, i think also i a plus points with girls. hehehe. that all i have to say.

God's creation of this universe is wonderful and just keeps on capturing the imagination of your minds all the time. Watching the stars seems so at peace and give me a clear mind.

the Good, the Moment, the Bad, the Ugly and the Amazing

Hello people,

Once upon a day which was a Saturday. It was a great day. Woke up in the mid of the day, just to hand out with Daniel and Zach S. Wanted to go to Daniel house to do some work with Esther on the YC flyers. Anyway, me, Daniel and Zach went for lunch at McD, it was awful cause of the rise price. Which was always heart breaking. Mcd when do you ever learn, you shall lose your loyal customers. Then when to Zach S house to rest before going to 'That Chinese School'(i don't know the name of the school) to help out arrange chairs. It was a fun time. Did a lot of stupid stunts with Walter. Fun hehehehe.

Finish at 5 plus plus. Called up, Jay and Zach for a drink at ss14(not suku >.<). That time was interesting. Felt some thing different. Is not spiritual. Is just a feeling. And it hit me. When i think Zach Mok said 'where do we eat when it's a Saturday'. In my mind was Yes MURNI.... and i was filled with excitement to go to Murni but at the same time thought that Zach Mok could drive there. So i ask Zach whether he can drive there but he say no cause his car got problem with the gear. Then that feeling came back to me was feeling uneasy. And i wanted to eat earlier like 8pm go reach there at 830pm but all want to eat at 9pm. So feeling was more uneasy.

So i went home had a shower then went to Daniel house to the YC flyers. After that went to Zach Mok house to pick him and go but we had to wait for him cause of WoW. Then we left for MURNI. It was a fun ride there, listen to the a lot of weird songs until we reach there where we listen to Tragedy by Bee Gees. So on this day, Saturday night was a night to be mark to be remember. When things ain't right. I got a table super fast, it was fast, it was unusual cause i have to wait a bit then get but this time no need to wait at all, it was fast. Then Zach Mok couldn't decide on what to eat another unusual thing. So anyway, we order our food and then KJ and Chun came to join us for drinks. When Jay food arrived it was super different, Jay eat super fast and even order a second helping. Oh my. And my food was super super long. So long that ever one has nearly finish. (KJ and Chun left already)

Then the juicy part of the story. Series of unfortunate events happen. it was 1030pm ready to go home. I started my van and make the first turn, drive about 20m and then engine broke down. I thought to myself that this is a normal problem cause it sometime happen to me and i could start it up. But this time, it DIDN'T, i was in sought of panic. Every one was like oh no. So Jay called his mum to come and get us. And we push the van into a housing area at Jalan 2/77. So me, Jay, Zach, and Daniel made some calls to our parents to let them know the situation. The bad thing was i forgot to charge my phone, so it was dieing mode. Call my dad, my dad was persistent on me to bring back the van to Subang to the repair shop in ss15. My dad ask me to call AAM. i thought to myself...Ahh...AAM....people that can save us. So i called them told them where i was and everything but for their stupid procedure. At first the person that i called on the phone told me to paid 30riggit and everything they will settle like checking and towing the van. So i was ok with it. The person told me wait for 45mins to 1 hour. So we waited. Jay waited for his mum to come and to drop us off at Subang. Zach at that time wanted to pee. in the end we waited for like 1 hour 15min plus for the AAM guy to come.

When he arrived. Well i was glad and happy that everything is going to be fine and we are going home. So the guy check up the van, see problem but he didn't solve it. And he was kinda rude and being proud and arrogant. He told me at first that i should come back tomorrow to get the van and tow it away. But my dad say tonight must. And i told him that your person who call me to paid 30 riggit and everything would be settle but noooonnoooo. He say also that my dad has to be in the scene which is must be here with me cause my dad is a member but i'm not. Which was more frustrating and got me very very pissed off. In the end, had to paid him 160 buys to tow it to Subang ss15. And he is not even towing it. His friend is doing it. Which i'm scare that he will cheat me. But i really thank God that they didn't =). But for one thing, i really really don't like that guy attitude on how he treats his customers. Anyway, waited another 1 hour for the tow man to come and it was a cool scene on how my van was being lifted up into the tow truck.

Had a great time waiting. I think me, Zach, Jay, and Daniel had a great time bonding. At the time of waiting, we listened to A Fine Frenzy on my Ipod. And Jay did his (i think) 1st legal U-turn cause the tow truck couldn't U-turn at the traffic light cause the lane was to small. so we had to cut through. Had a fun ride to ss15. The tow driver was quite entertaining. Me and Zach had a good conversation together. Once we reach ss15, got on Jay car and drive off to Daniel house. And on the way there was quite dangerous. Jay doing some really sharp turns and things gone missing. A lot of weird things. Then went for a drink in suku. At that time was my first time drinking Teh'O ais Limau. it was nice. Not as good as coke.

When home around 3 plus. Sze Jiun waiting for us with Damien, and apparently they also got in trouble. Not car problem but police problem. They were circling my house and so the cops stop them and question them but it was fine.

Sunday morning was great, really enjoyed the service and it was great preaching from Ps Phang. About reaching out. It was great. Then had a meeting on publicity. Then stack chairs. At lunch had a windy day. Thought was nice but in the end it rain. later when for basketball. Fun. After all that we still went back to murni for dinner. that was crazy stuff in those two days. I can say that God has a wicked senses of Humour.
