In a Roll

Hey,

Monday. It was tough getting up because the week is just beginning. i really thank God that the classes are getting a little more easier by the time. Somehow i'm coming out of the shell. Classes are getting more work by i'm really pacing myself. Big smiles for me. =)

The day started out with a huge rain fall. I didn't know how to go to school. But i guess the rain was begin emo. Some times heavy, some times light.

I had to run here and there also because all my classes are all over the place. Didn't plan my classes properly. Bad Joel.

I have been thinking a lot lately about my second major or minor should i have. Still praying about it and hoping to get an answer. =) Working hard to get more scholarships in this school is tough. I'm always one step behind on this but trying hard.

But i guess focusing on my studies will be first priority.

The gym today was quite empty because there was a seminar going on and i have been before last time.

Anyway, tomorrow will short. Two classes that i like, which is Bible and Psychology. Can't wait for it. So till then nighty night.

Oh Merdeka here was quiet. The many of us, here that are Malaysian didn't really do anything to celebrate it. Well i guess we are so caught with class that we simply forgot. So happy birthday Malaysia of 52 years of independent day. Hope that there will be really peace and unity among people. And the government to serve the people and for the people.

Invitation of Noise

Hi,

Sunday. Nothing much happen today. Just mostly did my laundry, did homework and went to Church in the night.

It was quite boring day. The Sunday Service was to let members know what the Church is doing this week which is Family ministry. There was no word but still fun.

Anyway, tomorrow school starts. Another 15 weeks to go till Christmas break. Apparently there are more holidays this semester. Thanksgiving break, school break and Christmas break. Three breaks with about 2 weeks worth of holidays. So in actual fact i have about 14 to 13 weeks of school. haha

So see you guys around in 2010. Long way to go but is worth it. Till then nighty night

Vortex Pull...

Hey,

Saturday. I got up late, went for lunch, then head to the computer lab to do my homework. I couldn't do i my room because i didn't have my laptop. Why? because i sent my laptop to the workshop to find out what's the problem with wireless connection in my dorm.

I'm so wishing to have my laptop now. =(

Anyway, i basically spent my whole afternoon till night in the computer lab. Just doing homework, and other fun stuff.

Come back home with nothing much to do, so i did some reading and personal time with God. Tomorrow is Sunday. I'm excited to see what theme they going to do tomorrow. Till then nighty night.

Back in Time...

Hi,

Friday. it was quite a long day for me. I had to do a lot of running between places. First off my health class was quite good, it gave me a better understanding of myself.

Later went for convocation. There wasn't any preaching. There was more of telling us what the school is going to do and has done. Our school chancellor, Jerry Felwell junior, told us what the school is going to do next. This year the school has expand it's building to new levels like the football stadium, basketball stadium, snowflex, etc.

There is going to be more upgrades because the school is still growing.

After convocation, i went for my English and Math class. it was quite alright. Nothing to hard to handle. Later i had to add another class to my busy scheduled. It is because this class is very important for me to take this year without means trouble. This new class is to help me in doing Christian Service next year. This CSER(Christian Service) is help students be involved in community work like to mission trips, help old or young people, etc.

Here is the link to the CSER page, click here for more details. It's quite easy for me because i done this all my life.

In the night, i went to the gym. It was fun this time because there was so little people in the gym. It was convenient to use the machines and other stuff. Then i played basketball. I some how lost my touch, can't shoot well or make proper decisions with the ball. It might that i didn't play for some time. hehe.

Anyway, tomorrow will be a busy time for me because got to do some homework and do some other stuff too. Till then nighty night.

In the Hole!!

Hey,

Today i was full of energy. Got up early to just do some homework that needs attention. Later around 12pm went for Bible class. Well i learn some new insight of the Old testament even though i have learn it before in Tung Ling. It got me excited to learn more of Bible history. I think i got a thing for Bible history. Maybe i should take a course in it. What do you think? Or should i stick to doing ministry? ...choices.

Anyway, after that went for psychology class. It was deeply interesting and got me thinking very critically about life. I like my Tuesday and Thursday now because of these two classes.

Okay, one week has pass by and i got roughly another 16 weeks to go before Christmas breaks come which i won't be back home for. But i'll be traveling around America that my mom has booked for me. Thanks mom =).

Alright i guess i'll be going now till then nighty night.

Glimpse of Uniqueness

Hello,

Wednesday. Classes were going ahead of me. Playing catch-up with it. So far that this is only the first week and things are just around are slowly getting together. I really want to get over and done with this week.

I have been running around again today because i forgot to get some books for the classes.

I'm still angry with the wireless connection in my dorm. It is really stressing that i cannot do my work at my room. I miss my laptop now, it is with the IT department. Trying to solve the mysterious problem with wireless connection at my dorm.

In the end of the day i'm tried. Going to shower and sleep now. Till then nighty night.

Hiaz,

Hold Up!

Hi,

It was a busy day for me. I had to bring down my computer to the IT department and give them a whole lot of anger at them. Trying to get them to fix the wireless connection at my dorm. So they told me that they will look into the problem.

After that i went to buy my books at the new bookstore. This year i had a whole lot of books that needs buying which i thought i don't need to buy. Oh well looks like after this semester i'm going to sell them. haha

My classes today was all really late like around 2pm to 5pm. Two classes. Bible and Psychology. Bible seems quite interesting that i fall asleep in class but the teacher introduce the Old testament survey in mind it register as i know this stuff because of Tung Ling bible school. So it might be easy for me. Big Smile. =)

Psychology was slightly tough. The thing was that there is a whole lot of reading and work to do. Well this is college for me. Hopefully i'll be able to balance the studies, gym, God time, and myself properly.

Anyway, tomorrow is going to be a long day for me. Class is going to really start, so till then nighty night.

Relax,

Week of Event.

Hi,

School started with a soft bang. Nothing to really shout about or praise. School this year is more here goes studying again attitude to everyone. I only have five classes this semester which is good. A little bit more relax than the previous semester.

The fall semester is really nice. I like the weather. It is not to hot or to cold but the sun is a little glaring. Also very windy. =)

My classes this year seem really medium. Not to hard or to easy. Hopefully i can do really well in all of them. If i do then i would be able to do honor program which i think it would be nice to do.

I went to the gym even though i was tired. Just to come out from the jetlag. Like i said before on my previous post that this year there are more students in Liberty. So all the basketball courts and the gym and anywhere in the sport center is basically full of students. And most of them are freshmen. haha.

I didn't do much of a workout because i didn't want to stress myself to much. So i just did some cycling but played quite a lot of futsal. haha

I came back home with a deep sleep. My roommate this year is really nice. He is a american. haha. Okay tomorrow i got two classes and both of them have a lot of paying attention. Bible and Psycology. So catch me another time till then nighty night.

Beginning,

Who Got Me?

Hi,

Sunday. I took a walk around the school and the malls. Just to clear my head with thoughts and just to give myself a clear focus on my studies. I went to the bookstore to find House of M, Marvel comic. They totally sold out of it and only left is World War Hulk. I don't really want World War Hulk because the story is a bit simple and just to see many many heroes get killed.

I got the bookstore to booked the copies i wanted. Big smile got me =)

Later i went down to church. Church was good. It was really good. Why it was so good? It is because there was no preaching but more of a Question and Answer session. The Q&A session was on about End times. The questions that the people ask are really deep and some of them are on my mind also. I think our church should do sometime like that. Have a Q&A session then a normal preaching.

Anyway, i'm quite piss off with the internet here in my dorm. Some how the connection here is not letting me use. Must be something wrong with their servers. Because i brought my laptop to school the wireless works but went i brought it back to the dorm, i can't get access. Well i'm going to ask the IT department what's the problem.

Other than that school like this year is quite exciting. There is more students here then last time. This year i'm planing to make new 'friends' and hopefully by the time i get back i would be able to dunk. =)

So school starts tomorrow. Really excited. Joel is in study mode. =)

Start to End

Hey,

Saturday. Didn't do much. Hang out around the lab doing some work before class starts. Been checking out where my classes would be held. It looks like i'm going to run around a lot this semester.

After that, i went out with my friends to watch a movie. Inglourious Basterds. I watch the show with a friend that isn't really a big fan of Quentin Tarantino work. So he was like bored in the show except went the 'OMG' scenes. haha.

This show i really like it a lot. i enjoy it every last bit of it. I must say it was quite well done. But this film is not the fineness work for him comparing his other film. I rate this film a 9.2 out of 10.

That was mostly my highlight of the day. Other than that i didn't do much. Tomorrow, i'll be going to church. Looking forward to it. Till then nighty night.

War Against the Machines

Hey,

I finally touch down in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was quite a bumpy ride all the way here because there was quite a lot of stormy weather. Before reaching here in Lynchburg, i was at Atlanta. Over there i ran into a small problem. Customs. Because this year i brought some stuff (maggi mee, and Milo). The customs security didn't allow in the maggi mee. Why? it is because it was Malaysian made but the Milo they allow which is kinda dumb too. Milo is Malaysian made also.

Anyway, the school this year is pack with new students and transfer student. It is really pack. Crazily pack. So pack that many of the rooms needed to have three people in a room. I thank God that my room had two people. Me and another guy.

Oh i arrive here around 4pm which is 4am, Malaysia. I was super tired because i didn't sleep on the place. i was watching a lot of movies. hehe.

I rested till my friends came knocking on my door and forcefully wake me up. They wanted to take me out. So we went places. Just to hang out and all.

Room. I couldn't blog for a while because the wireless was down.

Anyway, i'm going to sleep now, so till then nighty night.

I basically stayed at home the whole day. Lunch time i also stayed at home. I have spaghetti for lunch.

Night, i went to the Chai house for dinner. They cook for me, red wine chicken soup. Yummy!! Actually more of Aunt Oileng cook. haha. The food was good really love it. Thank you Aunt Oileng. =)

Slaying the Soundster

Hello,

My final hour is nearing. The thoughts of leaving is not close in my mind.

Today i went out in the late morning with Aunt Jo for some brunch. It was a brunch was for my farewell but also to discuss some things about youth. There is much work to be done in this ministry.

Thank you Aunt Jo for brunch, it was great and i hope the discussion we had would solve the problem. I would go there again for dim sum, haha.

I manage to almost finish up my packing. I think i will be over weight. The amount of stuff i see in my bag is just looks over weight. I also did some cleaning up and washing up.

Now i have that feeling of not going to States. I need to clear my mind of this and fight it till i get back the feeling of study mode. Must be the facebook. The spawn of all evil. And the "many distraction i cause upon myself", =P

Night. i went out with the Chan family. The food was interesting and quite good. It is just different from the Yong Tau Foo, i eat.

Ignite was different today because our church is doing some renovation. So we had to split up into our zones for ignite. All the youth went to Aunt Jo house. Not many went. Prayer tonight was for the leaders of this country, Malaysia.

After prayer, i guess many of would know what happens in Aunt Jo house. Snack time. haha. Of course the many countless chit chat that must be talk there. Ps Mal came later to discuss the church direction for community work that the church can do in our area.

Now back home. Going to sleep. Tomorrow will be long day for me. So till then nighty night.

The Version of Being Mess Up

Hi,

Well I'm about to 2 days left before i go back to the States. I think i manage to fulfill my time here in Malaysia quite alright. I did enjoy my time here with the friends i meet, the delicious food i eat and manage to serve in Church. Even though there was some small up and down but nothing to hard to get out off from. i think i got a good holiday. =)

Today i pretty much did some laundry and started to pack up the necessary stuff that i want to bring there. I still need to weight my bag.

Later at night. I went to Suzanne house, waited for her to come back from work then it was off to the dinner place with her family and David and Sze Juin. We had a small discuss on where to go but we manage to stick to the original plan. haha. The food there was quite good. Nothing much to shout about there but it's good. Once again, thank you Siow family for giving me the dinner really enjoyed myself. =)

After the dinner we went back to Siow family house for cup of milo and coffee. Did some around the world talks from church to economy to politics to BGR(relationships).

Now I'm back home booking my ticket to travel a little bit around America(mostly my mom is booking it) for the Winter break. So you guys just hang on there alright, i'll be back in 9 months time. Remember that time flies.

Hopefully by then i would be able to dunk and do even more skills in basketball. Also my studies would be good.

Anyway, i got a feeling for another person. I know that person briefly and that person seems nice and confident. But should i really go after that person or just keep it. I leave this to God.

I'm going to pack my stuff and then maybe a movie then sleep. So till then nighty night.

Alright,

Trap in Both Worlds.

Hey,

Sunday. Got up. Got ready. Drove to petrol station. Fill. Ready for cell Sunday. I had to pick people up. Two of David friends. Both girls. =) I had to drive down to Sunway to get them then go back to USJ 16 to Aunt Jo house. The drive was fast and easy. A little traffic jam but nothing that i can't handle.

Got them and off to USJ 16. I met them before in cell group.

Today cell Sunday was quite good. What is cell Sunday and Why? Cell Sunday is a time that we met in our own cell groups, so that went times of persecution of our faith happen in this country. We would know where to still go and celebrate the love of God, in our cell group homes.

It was good. I really enjoy myself even though i didn't really show a happy face. I really hope that our youth is pump up to do greater things for this ministry.

Later we(kids, two girls and David) went for lunch actually is more of me because i couldn't eat what food was prepare in Aunt Jo house. (sorry, aunt Jo). We went to McD.

Then me, David, and kids went to cc again plus it was raining somemore. So more the pressure to go there. We played all soughts of games from Dota to Left for Dead to counter-stike. haha.

Basketball. I was not really interested to play because there was so few of us. I just play. Some more i was tired too. Oh well. I got to keep up training because must be better. Work it.

After basketball, i went for family dinner. Now i'm back home. Tired from two days of not much sleep. Monday will be my rest day. Big event is Suzanne parents giving me a treat. Thank you Mr and Mrs Siow for dinner tomorrow. =) Till then nighty night.

The Gun is in My Pocket

Hi,

Time flies. It was early. I'm just getting out of Aunt Jo house after a long discuss on problems in the youth ministry. I took a slow drive home, just to think what we have discuss. Drop off David for him to get his stuff, so that he can sleep over my place.

He came over my place to watch FF 7 Complete. The show is really interesting and i sought of understand it here and there. I was in a way making fun of how they say 'Cloud' or 'Reunion' or 'mother'. haha.

I got 4 hour sleep. Had to wake up at 9am to shower and then go down to watch "UP" the movie. So i had to drive down with my parents to 1Utama. It is slight different driving on the LDP now because people are careful about the speed cameras mounted on the lamp post. Top speed 90Km/h.

The movie is pretty alright. It is very draggy. But it has some really creative ideas put into the film. I give this show a 7.3 out of 10. It has that thing that you need to watch it one-time-show.

I came back as fast as possible because me and David wanted to watch a movie in the afternoon which is District 9. The time we went to the place in Pyramid. It was pack with people lining up wanting to watch either G.I.Joe or District 9 or some lame show. It was pack, so we did a Jay(sorry, Jay, i won't tell everything how it is done). We cheat the system by booking. hehe.

The show kinda blow my mind away. I was quite sleepy also nevertheless the show was interesting in all levels. I must say that it is a must-see-show for this year. I rate this show a 9.2 out of 10.

Later went home. Rest for awhile. Went out again at 7pm. i went out with the kids. They wanted to spend on me. So kinda let them. We went to play in cc. Well we didn't really had a good time because our games just say we didn't do so well. Sad case. really. David come by later to follow me back, he had to go for a birthday party.

Supper. David stay over my place again. We watch Children of Men. Not bad show. Another well thought story. A little bit dull on scenes. My overall rate would be 8.2 out of 10. Now going to have another 5 hours sleep before we go for cell church tomorrow or i would say today.

About 4 days left till i leave. Sad yet happy. oh well. Till then nighty night.

Friday Night Lights

Hey,

Friday. I woke up surprise that i was going to be late for my coaching in A.C.E school. I quickly went to the bathroom did the necessary business. Rush there in a blink of the eye.

I did coaching them today a little bit long that time that didn't offer me. I hope what i thought them that they will manage to remember and use their new skills for their benefits.

Later i came back home. Shower. Then went down to meet up with Ps Mal. I went to his place and saw his new TV room set up and the poster that i gave him for his collection of Marvel and DC comics. The TV room is really good. I really like it. haha

So me and Ps Mal went out just to chit chat abour church, comics, personal, visions, etc. It was all fruitful talks. =)

Came back home. Take care of my little nephew for awhile and then i went to take a rest. I was out at around 5pm because of lack of sleep.

Went out for life-group which turn out there were none. Because all the youth cell are combining today and just do a prayer event. The house was quite pack at Suzanne house.

It was quite a sight to see. The youth are willing to pray all out which is good and wonderful to see. Then went to Aunt Jo place had extra food and did some talking to the very late night.

Came back home. Watch a movie. The new FF7 Complete version. (Final Fantasy). with David. It got me understanding slightly better about the story. haha

Tomorrow is one long day. Like going to watch the latest show 'UP'. So till then nighty night.

Friday love,

Streaming With UnEasiness

Hey,

Thursday. I was suppose to get up at 6am but it didn't turn that way. Why? I accidentally set my alarm clock on the wrong time of the day. I thought that i set it at 6am but i set it at 6pm. So i really got up from bed around 8ish am to find out i didn't go for prayer. I felt a shame of myself. Oh well.

I was suppose to take care of my little nephew but he didn't turn up till late afternoon. I wanted to go watch a movie but didn't find the time. I had to do other stuff at home.

I saw a small accident yesterday at around 4pm. The accident was small truck that sells eggs topple over to it's right side. The driver was alright. There was no other car involve, amazingly. My mom told me there was another accident at the ss19 tunnel. The vehicle past the tunnel but somehow went up the right side of the lane to the hill and crash into the lamp post.

There are to many accidents happening this year alone. Me myself i got two in just about three weeks. And hearing or seeing others about 5-7 accidents. Crazy. Does this make 2009 a dangerous year? or just people are not careful enough on the road?

Dear Malaysians,

Please do learn to use your signal. People do not know what you are going to do next on the road. If you signal it give people the indication that you want to cut it and it make the person to make a decision whether to let you cut in or not. Driving on the road is suppose to be a safe place and careful.

Driving on the roads of Malaysia make us, Malaysians, paranoid people. Why? because we will never know what is going to happen next and the decision is tough to make. So drivers learn to use your horn and signals. It can help us have less accidents and even save lifes.

Yours truly,
JPTYY.

I can't wait for friday. I think the youth is going to do something in Suzanne's house. It was really raining today. Thank God for the rain. I got about 6 days left. I want to sleep now. Till then nighty night.

Peace,
Found a G.I Joe cartoon series on Youtube.

It end here...

Accelerated Body Suit

Hey,

I got just few more days left. About 7 days left. There is so much to do yet so little time left. I thank God that i manage to eat what i wanted to eat and i think i have help my church in every level i can do.

Today i spent time with my mom doing some errands. Mostly getting my vitamins and other important things that needs bring there.

i really can't wait to go back to America. Not for the food. But to study and be super fit again. haha. I think i have put on a lot of weight went i got back. Joining a gym here is super expensive for just three months is totally not worth it. Also my dad club gym isn't that great but enough for me to maintain fitness.

Anyway, i can't wait to study again. My mind is in that mode that i can suck up knowledge as it craves for it. I really hope that i do well again.

Later in the night, i went to church to help out MK with some stuff. It was more of a spring cleaning. We just do a small cleaning in the PA room. There was a whole lot of stuff that we don't need in the church anymore.

Come home. Going to watch a movie then go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day for me. I have to take care of my little nephew for the half a day. I think he is going to be a hand full but you guys knowing me a very commanding person.

Oh i'll be back next summer break which is around May. So i'll be gone for about 9 months which will past as fast as you notice it. i can't wait to see the many faces that i didn't see this time and how they are. And by then hopefully i'll be able to dunk. Oh my dream. It must come to reality. It MUST!!! JOEL MUST DUNK!!!

Oh man next year, i'll be 21 years old. To many things is going in my mind. All that things are about church related stuff. And it is about taking over stuff. I wonder how am i in that person position. hmm....


Anyway, i'll be sleeping soon, so till then nighty night.

what's there to accelerate?
You...

In Mirror Image Mode

Hey,

I didn't sleep quite well. My body had it's ups and downs of sickness. I prayed to God to help me out with this sickness. As i wake up around 10ish. I felt better. i told myself that as long as i go to the toilet, drink lots of water and rest, i should be fine.

i didn't do much today. Most recovering from my sickness. Who ever prayed for me. i thank you for your prayers. It help much.

I most did some school work check. Whether all my school things are alright from bank accounts to my dorm to food. I can't wait to get back to school. As i told you guys in my earlier post that i'm in study mode. I hopefully i'll be able to do well in my fall semester, so that i can get good GPA. If i have that then i might stand a chance in getting into honors program which i'm having double thoughts about it. I need to pray about this. Also another thing is whether should i do another degree? And that degree what should it be? In ministry? Or business? Or something else?

If i do ministry, i will be gearing up for youth or church as whole. If business, it would help me in this corrupted world. If something else, it would be the same as to help in this world. What should it be? God please do guide me on this. I know i'm already learning what i always wanted to study but i want to do more which is either to do ministry or do something that helps me in the world. Help me, dear Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

Going to sleep now. I got about 6 more days here in Malaysia till i leave for America. Till then nighty night.

Rain Inside-Out

Hi,

My day didn't go well. I was not feeling very well. I was like thinking to myself whether am i coming down with a fever and other symptoms. I didn't do much but mostly try to recover as fast as possible.

I drank lots of water and 100plus. I also make sure that i do my toilet business. The whole day i did that and also i sleep.

Do pray for me to get well as fast as possible because i only got 9 days more before i leave to America. God help your sick child to recover as soon as possible. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Tomorrow is the pray meeting or in other word, Ingite. Do come as we pray together as a church for the 40 days prayer and fasting.

Okay i'm going to get my rest. Really hot, i think i'm going to have a cold shower then sleep. Do pray for me again, so till then nighty night.

I didn't take any picture in my day four in Singapore because i didn't go anywhere in Singapore. But i took one picture that is worth seeing...

What do you see people. It's dirt or rubbish on the street. Singapore ain't clean as you thought but it is 100 times cleaner than Malaysia streets. haha

Day Three Photos in Singapore

Hey,

Here are the photos that i went to Singapore zoo. The zoo was really good compare to Malaysia zoo. I took pictures of animals that i really wanted to see like polar bears, komodo dragon, snakes, and some just to name a few. Take a look...

The place was huge. Bigger than i thought. The place has like a warm feeling, making me feel welcome.

I don't know whether you can zoom into the picture but those are the map of the area and what not's and do's in the park. There is so many things you must do there from watching animal acts to feeding time. All that takes the whole day.

Crap...i can't remember what animal is this.

White tiger.

Hippo teethes. Dangerous huh?

Wild Boar

Behing me is brunch of Baboos

Long day, need rest.

Later in the night. we went to eat in Newton market. The place was pack with people. The food there also looks good. You guys might wanna head down there to eat all kinds of food.

It's quite easy to find. It is just off the train station.

That is about all. I know there isn't many pictures of me. Mostly because i'm the one taking all the pictures. haha.

Seeing Day Light

Hey,

Sunday. in the late night of Saturday to early hours of sunday, me and David watch a movie called Smokin' Aces. The show is a average show. Nothing to great or exciting to shout about. I would rate it about 5.9 out of 10. I wanted to watch it because the show had a crazy gun that a girl is using to just kill one guy. haha

Anyway, got up early for church because David was in the worship team. We got there very early, nobody was there yet. So we head down to the Medan/Rock Cafe for take away breakfast. haha

Came back to open church, i did some of the routine work and let the people on duty to do their duties. =)

Today's service was really good. Learn a lot about Philippians 4. Ron Choong was preaching today, so we got some really interesting inside news into that book, Phillipians. Anyway, Worship was well done by Kelvin, always giving us the up beat and enigma of prise and worship. There were a lot of people attended today. Mostly because wanting to hear the message from Ron Choong. haha

There was a slight panic in the church. No one set up the refreshments for after the service. Aunt Karen called the people in charge and me and others did the refreshments as fast as possible. Thank God that we manage to set up everything in 20 minutes. haha. All good.

Later, the usual. Delay, talk here and there. Stay long in church. Talk here and there. Blah Blah Blah. 10 to 15 minute later decide where for lunch. Went to USJ 2 for lunch. There is a new store open there, so they wanted to try out. The food there is pretty alright.

I came back home early. Got a early nap. Basketball was terrible for me. I couldn't believe that i was missing shots and passing slightly off and moving not fast enough. Need to improve in all levels, Joel. No slacking. back to work.

I had to go early because there was a invited dinner. My parents wanted me to pick up some peopel that came down from Singapore and head down to PJ for some duck. The food was good. Then went for dessert. i didn't eat because i was full.

i took a slow drive home. My parents took back home the people from Singapore. Didn't realize that it was so jam during a Sunday night at 9pm. Crazy.

Anyway, Monday. I got some stuff that i got to do like church stuff and my dad's stuff. So till then nighty night. =)

Will post the pictures of my third day at Singapore. I took quite a lot of photos. Anyway. night

Midnight,

Monsters In The Attic

Hello,

My Saturday was spent with a really deep sleep that i went through. The tone of the alarm going off was quick to off. I didn't care waking up. I was suppose to go for prayer walk in the morning at around 650am and i put my alarm at 630am. Usually I'm a type of person that will just wake up to any sound. Well i think things has change.

I woke around 10am to realize that i over slept. I felt so guilty after that. So more i promise Aunt Jo i would come. I'm deeply truly sorry aunt Jo. Won't happen again.

i went for a early lunch. I was off to church around the afternoon. I went to church to check out some stuff especially the PA system. Our PA system is getting a make over and the church too. Jay, Sunny, Joshua and Hong Ming went you guys get back the church would look different from the inside out. Be surprise went the church looks more Spanish. I had to do some measuring in the PA room.

Later in the day around 5pm. i had to drive down to Ara Damansara which is near the airport. i went there to see my nephew and nieces. I had to go there because they book me for a dinner. the reason i went there early was that my cousin wants me the teach so moves to my nephew that loves basketball now. My nephew is not bad, there are still room for improvement. If he is deeply really want to play basketball seriously then he might have the change to be a good basketball player.

In the night, my cousin took me to eat in this place that was out of no where. It is like near Sungai Buloh already past Kota Damansara. This restaurant is really famous for one dish that is really hard to explain. Will take you guys there some other time. The food is really good. I mean really good.

Okay, today i will post up the pictures of my second day in Singapore. And i went to Sentosa island. Yea!!! if you don't like to see fish and alright breaches then don't go there. It is totally boring place to go. Not worth the money. Next year will be a good time to go there because there will be a theme park there and it looks really scary. There is only one good time to go to Sentosa is to go there at night or coming to night time because there is musical fountain which is totally awesome to the max. I totally miss because i didn't know it till i was tolded by uncle Phua when i got back and second we were already super tried.

So....here are the photos...


Sentosa Island going there by bus.

FishLion

Catfish

The map of the place. There is totally nothing to do there. Seriously.

Close up

We went to the underworld in Sentosa. Didn't go in to see the fishes though because i have seen it in Australia.

Okay that is all the photos that i took with my camera. Tomorrow will be a long day in church. so till then nighty night.

Peace,

Times Up! Back to God!

Hey,

I know many of you are waiting to see the photos that i took. I'm still picking them out whether this or that should be put in my blog. I will post it according by the day.

My Friday is quite alright. I was pack with many things to do in less than 25 hours.

First i had to go down to Puchong to do some coaching with my church school, A.C.E. ACE is a home-school which all the materials are base upon God's Word. The best way to described it. It is to see it yourself.

Anyway, i go there every Friday to do basketball coaching with them.

Later in the day around 1130am, i follow my mom and sister to do some small errands and lunch too. All that done at 1230pm.

I had to rush down to Sunway Pyramid to meet up with David and friends to watch G.I.JOE: Rise of the Cobra. I hate missing premiers. Anyway, the show was really well done. They had a strong story line and it kept me interested for a sequel. The only bad thing was that they killed off one of the greatest fights ever forever in G.I.JOE history. The fight between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. The battle between them had and always been equal but more favorable Snake Eyes to dominate the fight and Storm Shadow will some how run away to fight another day.

So...I hope and really hope that they don't screw up the sequel. They better put back the characters so the fight will be forever to last in the memories of fans. Storm Shadow must live.

Overall the show was very good. It got me entertain for the whole show. I give it a good sexy exciting rating a 8.3 out of 10. Sorry Transformers 2, you are out and Harry Potter.

I came back home wanting to rest but i can't because i had to sent my mom to the hair-dresser.

Rest.Pick.Rest.Help my aunt.Rest. Shower. Dinner. Out.

Me and Daniel went to CC to cure my itchy hand. Didn't win all our games but i think we had fun. Played three games and lose. Later went to Aunt Jo for a light supper.

Now home, finishing up the photos to put up. Here are some to see the moment...

First Day...


The train maps. it basically goes everywhere in Singapore. I really mean everywhere.
It is fast and more convenient than the cars there.

This is how the inside of the train is...The people there are really friendly.
People from young to old give up their seats with babies or pregnant or really old.

The best thing that they are very observed people because they don't want to get any terrorist bombing their trains. They have security checks all the time.

Like i said earlier to structured.

Those photos are my first day there. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me and i got to go now. Till then nighty night.

Love,

We went to collect some material for our church school: A.C.E. Then it was off to the airport.

We came back around 7pm. We rested. Eat dinner. Now resting again.

My overall of Singapore is really really good. I enjoy myself there even though i didn't get to do the stuff i wanted to do there.

Tomorrow, will be coaching our church school. Basketball in the morning and then life group. Till then nighty night. Pray that i stay well. =)

Day Three: Live in Singapore

Hi,

Today, me, my parents and aunt went to the Singapore zoo. We took a train to Ang Mo Kai station and then take a bus to the zoo. The bus to take is 138. My parent were in God's hands because we got free tickets to go to the zoo because of my dad's friend offered all of us free tickets. Blessing to the pastor. haha

The zoo was totally amazing. I enjoyed myself a lot. There are no many cages in the zoo. The animals are very well behave. Saw quite a lot of animals from rare to special. I didn't see the shows because i think it is just a waste of time and you are seeing it do tricks, so no point.

It rain in the middle of the tour of the zoo, so we went to eat lunch while it rain. I thank God that it rain because it was so hot and my little nephew was being a real handfuls job. We needed the rest and he rested. Later we went to the water park. The kids enjoy themselves.

I spent in the zoo about 4 hours. Crazy right but it is really long. Believe me, if you go there, I'm sure you spent as much time as i spent there.

We come back around 530pm. We all slept. Around 7pm, we went to eat dinner in place that look like Asia Cafe. The food there is really good. It in Newton near Orchard. it was about 5 minute walk from our apartment. The food court is called newton market i think.

Anyway, i will post the picture went i get back. So till then nighty night. Coming home tomorrow around 5pm. Pray for me that i won't get sick. Amen

Singapore, it is not a place for me to stay. It is too structure. It feels that I'm being nanny-ed. It is not like Australia or America. I don't la. I feel that it is more for tourist in every level. If i get a Singapore girl i won't know how to deal with her, i'm serious. She will definitely structure me till i become crazy like them. Singapore girls are just nice and pretty to look at...other than that no.

I got to go, really tired.

love,

Day Two in Singapore

Hey,

I went to Sentosa island with my parents and aunt. There was nothing much to see in that island except went the new theme park is ready at 2010. Once you are at the island, the buses are free and it is fast. There is totally nothing to do there. Don't go there unless you like to see fish and beach and islands. Other then that there is nothing.

Later we went to Vivo City. Didn't do shopping. I really wanted but i had to take care of my little nephew which is a handful. I kinda like the mall here, it has that modern look and the level of art is to my liking. =)

The girls here are not bad looking. I dare say this...the girls here really know how to take care of their appearance and level of fashion. Huge plus points for the girls of Singapore and low points for the girls of Malaysia.

Dinner. My parents went to meet up some old friend. Went to eat to some famous wat ton mee shop which is quite good.

Came back to the apartment. Did some email checking and i went straight to the gym. Now back going to sleep now. Tomorrow will go be going to the zoo. I heard it is quite good. So will be going there tomorrow. Till then nighty night.

Love,

Not so Innocent

I'm looking forward watching this show.

Live in Singapore...

Hi,

I am Singapore for the first time of my life. I woke up just in time to pack, eat breakfast and then go to the LCCT airport. All of that within 4 hours.

Arrived at the airport, me and my parents and my little nephew(baby) check-in. Waited for awhile in the airport for our turn to go on board the plane for about 1hour. My little nephew is following us because our maid don't want to work anymore and wants to leave straight away. My sister had no choice but to allow her son to follow us.

It was quite easy to take care of him. He is such a good boy. =)

Landed at Singapore around 4pm. Catch a train to City Hall to meet up with my parent church friend that has a apartment here.

Rest for awhile. The place here is very nice. I never seen a city so clean. It is even cleaner than where i'm staying in America. The place that we are staying is super near the train station and it is near the Orchard place.

Me, my parents and parent's friend brought us to Orchard road to eat dinner there. We went to eat some high class Singapore restaurant. The food is slightly better than Malaysia.

I kinda like it but i feel quite alone because I'm having Holiday with my parent and my parent's friends. Awkward. I will up load the pictures at the end of my trip. Tomorrow will be going to Sentosa(hope i spell correct).

See you guys in four days time till then nighty night. I'll be able to blog or check my mail because my parent's friend place has wifi and it is so much faster than Streamyx anytime.

I give you a hint who the my parent's friend that allow to stay in their apartment. My ex-gf. I think you guys pretty much know already.

Day one,

Warning! Pyromaniac in the House

Hey,

Sunday. God's day. I saw the glimpse of trusty hand-phone. It was telling me to wake up with it's buzzing noise and high vibrating. I quickly stop it and take a 2 minute together myself. I didn't sleep well again. It must be that there were to many thoughts going around my head. I guess pretty much you guys know me well.

I was feeling up beat about today Sunday service. I took a long shower, dress up nicely and wore a dull yellow that seems bright enough for everyone to see. I didn't follow my parents to Church. They had to go somewhere first. i had to follow my aunt to the Service.

Today my Church is having a combine service. How come? my dad is the senior pastor(stepping down) planted many centers throughout the area of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We have five centers in different places. From Kota Damansara to Puchong. The centers combine would give us less than a thousand people. Not bad. Why centers? It is because our church is actually cell base that we connect with people in a person level. Then we created a community or church center in that area, so the cell groups we have can meet up in the center we build near by them.

I enjoy myself personally. From the start to end, it was good. Word was strong and i think the people needed to hear that message.

After the service, all our youth from various centers went for a lunch date. Whole big brunch. Many enough to overcrowd that area. We all decided to go to A&W for lunch. When we went there, it was filled with many different CBC member. Young and Old. We cost the A&W to have good business.

when lunch is over. i didn't drive here, so i follow Suzanne car. The car was filled with me, David, Brenda, Zach and of course Suzanne. The many discussion about BGR began again. I don't mind this discussion but is there anything else better to talk about? (i think i'm going to get flamed).

I rest for awhile before going to basketball. I couldn't sleep again. I think there is something wrong with me or what?

I pick up David for basketball and we discuss a idea that i brought up. I do not want to share it here or anywhere else. It my plans. I thought of it. David i hope you do not reveal it to anyone else. David kinda like the idea i gave but he wants me to confirm with Aunt Jo.

Anyway, basketball had some small surprise. The first time that Suet Beng came for basketball. I think she wanted to just workout a little. Then many people started coming, many of them are the gang that used to play at USJ16 with us.

For me i didn't play so well. My outside shots are not accurate enough. i have to hit back to training again.


Night. i went out with aunt Su Min and family for dinner. They wanted to spent on me. We went to a place in ss19, the SJMC hospital. It was quite nice Italian food. Thank you Aunt Su Min for the lovely dinner, i enjoyed myself and the chit chat.

I'm going to sleep now. I'm really tired. Hope to see you guys some other time.

I'll be going to Singapore on Monday for four days. This trip is my first time there. I have never been there in my entire life for someone who has been to the other parts of the world. I have only been to Airport and it was for transit to another country. I'm quite excited about this trip at the same time quite unsure how it is going to turn out because i'm going with my parents and i think they are not over with the accident i made.

Anyway, Singapore here i come.

Oh i have updated my devotion blog already but i guess i can't post for four day. I will post up the each day went i get back from Singapore. I hope that God would speak to you went you read it.

I better sleep. I'm really tried and not enough sleep on my side. So nighty night. Another thing is that i miss playing with fire. The excitement. Wild flame. The yellow and red moves throughout the wind will always remain a mystery. The intense heat just warms me with it blessing. Fire you are my best friend. Time to make some fireworks or flames. Anyone with a lighter?

Cheers,

Hate the Hate in Me

Hi,

I couldn't sleep for these few days. My heart always racing away as i toss and turn in my bed. I close my eyes but it open for burst of tears to flow. I cannot bear it. There is to much guilt to fill the vacuum of space many times over. The feeling of hating myself builds it structure. Many times i have burn down this buildings in my heart. Telling myself that temple of the Holy Spirit live in me.

I rattle, twitter and shiver around myself as i cannot look for securely in any direction. I tell myself that there must more than this, Oh God. As i float in space of space, i wonder why i do mistakes to make things worse.

I have gone into my spiral of deluding myself having schizophrenia. I'm in a stage where i can't stop crying.

Deep down in me, i know i have to come out of it. I need to put myself together because I'm strong among others. The time now is 9am. No sleep. Non-stop tears. Feeling weak. I have to get out of bed. It was my day to take care of my little nephew of mine, Philip.

He came out of the car, look at me with eyes seeing eyes. He trigger himself in tears. He show insecurely to his mom. I too began to cry myself but i hold back because i need to be strong for my nephew. I took him from my sister arms. He didn't want to let go of his mom. I too wouldn't want to let go of my mom if i was his age. Why? security reasons. I have no idea why he doesn't trust me.

I wave my sister good-bye as she was leaving, my nephew imagine himself grabbing on his mother. More tears of loneliness journey down from his eyes. I place him on a chair and let him cry. I keep on telling him "i love you, Philip, I'm here to take care of you." Slowly he recover from his tears, look at me with his sober eyes, lift up his arms as he wanted me to carry him, i catch hold of him. I put him near my heart wanting him to feel my heart beat. He rest his head on my shoulder. I place my other hand on his back. We hug for a long while. Giving him a message of peace and love and care that he is going to receive from me.

It just the two of us in the house. Me and my nephew. I look at him and he look at me. I say "water?". He say "yes". He drinks with the feeling of wanting more. He gives me the smile that i cannot forget. It enlighten me so much that it made my day better. We spent our time watching television together as well playing. The fun between us was inseparable.

Lunch time. I was hungry since morning. I really wanted to eat. I thought to myself how am i going to buy food when i got him here? Should i take him out? I thought for a long time. The answer i got was a near by source which is my fridge had some left over food. I cooked for myself that extra food in the fridge by just microwaving it. He followed me everywhere.

Then he saw something in the kitchen. It had that glow in his eyes. He saw this huge red color cylinder shape as same size as his leg. This thing had a round face that has a moustaches and has seven letters written below it. He tried taking it with his own strength. He jumped. He tip-toe. He didn't give up. He wanted it so badly that he came to me pulling my pants at the same time pointing at it. His desire for it is lustful. In that moment i felt like a god giving the desire of people wants. I told him many times "no" with the commanding voice i have. No matter how much i say "no" to him. The level of persistence was twisting my arm.

I succumb to it and gave him what he wanted...Pringles original flavor.

He ate that for the whole 2 hours the time i was taking care of him. He enjoyed it to the maximum of his pleasure. I told him to take one at a time and he obeyed.

This story sounds so rememberable. It is the same in everyone lives. The things we ask from God. How many times God has let us twist his arm over things that we just like for few years and forget later. That is why God give only the ones that are in need and not in want. See the different.

Time fly by so fast. The amount of joy between me and him. My time was up to take care of him. My sister message me on my trusty hand-phone to bring him to the hairdresser in USJ11 near my house. My nephew was filled with even more joy because he gets the chance to go out. He got his shoes ready for me to wear it on his feet. He try taking the key from the door filled with keys. He was running in circles. Up and Down he went.

We walk to the hairdresser. He pointed at everything he saw and said "car, bus, car, bus, car, bus and bark bark." I tried teaching him to say van but he give me the silence treatment. He was really over excited that he saw his mommy. He didn't want to let go of her. He is such a mommy's boy. My sister asked the hairdresser to cut his hair. He some how understand what they are saying. He then started to cry. Giving no one the chance and i mean no one even the mother to touch his head with a pair of scissors in hand. He threw a tantrum. I and my sister look at him with that look. He stop after a period of time.

We went back to the house because my sister has to take some stuff that belongs to the maid we used to have. This maid that we have stopped working because we cannot take it anymore. But the way she work. Hundred percent you would shake your head too at her. She was the worse maid that we had then all the previous maids we had. The search for her stuff is cause much havoc. All of her stuff was everywhere in the house. here and there. Got the stuff together and my sister and my nephew are off to meet the maid.

I spent in the house sorting out my email and replying email and other Internet related work. After that i did some van cleaning. Instructed by my parents.

Late afternoon the mechanic called me. It was time to collect the car. It was time of emotion to set in again. I drove my dad and me. It was total silence between us. I gave him only one or two words that he ask me. The scare level was building inside of me again. I needed fresh air.

The total amount that i saw on the car repair was eye opening for me that i nearly fainted. I don't want to get into any accident anymore. It will be last for me forever. I cannot afford this event to happen. It is cost to much emotion thrown here and there and of course money.

All i wanted to do was to collect the car, go home, straight to my room, and start crying my hearts out. I totally did that. I gave what was apart of the bill that i need to paid my dad for the damage.

It was in time for me to just shower and wait a little while for Phuas to come get me for dinner. I tried pulling a happy face on myself. i think i did pretty well during our dinner date. I enjoy myself. In the end, Aunt Jo already knew what happen. She ask me whether i'm okay and all. I told her the whole story and how i'm feeling now.

Thank you Phuas for the lovely dinner that gave me, rest assure i really enjoyed myself, and I'm feeling much better now that all the problem has dissolve already. Once again, thank you.

I'm back home. Waiting to go to church tomorrow. Feeling very tried and ready for sleep. I'm sure that i'm going to have a good night sleep till then nighty night.

Love,
