Chivalry Is Not Dead

2012-02-08T08:48:00.000-08:00

At first look, Chivalry Is (NOT) Dead can simply be put as a child’s play. Fitted with simple graphics, catchy names and a funny tune, it features as an easy gaming pick for those who are into strategic games. As a foreword warning to those who are looking into no-brainer games, Chivalry Is (NOT) Dead will not be the game for you. That’s right, looks can be deceiving in this case because it really isn’t a simple game albeit all the simplicity in design. It is a good time killer, but it’s not for the weak of mind. In the beginning, you would expect an adventurous game full of action and a whole lot of mind boggling puzzles but just hold up a second; this isn’t all that.

So what’s the game all about? After all, it does feature quite a cheesy name. To get straight to the point, it’s a lot of clicking around, searching for tips, talking to people and simply picking the choices offered to answer the questions or statements that comes from the other party. It sounds simple, but it’s really not all it seems. Every answer leads to a different reply and another question and every answer after that could bring the player to a different ending. With that being said, it is good enough to say that it’s a game that requires a lot of strategy and forward thinking to anticipate the ending or the next question that would be asked. Different items used could also lead to different outcomes and eventually this could be a good capturing point for the players to just interact a little and fiddle around with the possibilities of getting a satisfying end to the game.

While the upside of the game is that it is interactive and interesting for the player, there are also the down sides to it. First off, there are absolutely no clear instructions whatsoever. All that you would find on the tab that says instructions is that you will need to click around, get tips and talk to people. And that’s it. What could have been a helping point would be if the creators of the game included a little walkthrough such as how to pull out the inventory list instead of leaving the players to explore around, slowly lose their patience, become frustrated and give up altogether. Another bad thing about the game would that it was too short especially for those who had expected a long and adventurous gameplay. Also, there appeared to be too much talking and this immediately became quite a turn off for those who are just looking to relax and do less work. Reading through a game is like reading a book; only they are doing more than flipping. The conversations should have been placed at the bottom of the window instead of flashing above the character because this just made the game a lot more irritating.

Overall, Chivalry Is (NOT) Dead could be said as a game that requires a lot of thinking skills and a whole lot of imagination. The graphics also could have been improved and possibly been made into a more interesting character as opposed to just being an assassin wearing a brown bag over his head and being ordered by a dark lord to kill a queen. It’s a game with a cliché storyline, but it conveys the message well enough and people buy it. One last point though…do expect a fusion of modernized sentences mixed with a little bit of old terms throughout the game. It’s oddly irritating at a point, but bearable with the tiny bit of jokes the creators try to fit in.

Social Media : What's What Anyway?

2012-01-18T20:36:00.000-08:00

First question that comes in mind…what’s a social media? Well, it’s almost everything you find on the internet. I guess that’s a good way to put it. For one, nearly everyone uses it anyway. From an 8 year old kid to a 72 year old uncle, you’d find them logged onto Facebook, Twitter, Friendster or even the old school Myspace. In fact, some babies even have an account created by their parents just for show. But some people may be asking about some other sites that they have no idea about…so why not just take a 5 minute breather and check out what’s what?

LinkedIn; a website made for a quick resume sharing without the hassle of sending out word documents anyway. What’s good about LinkedIn is that people can search for you, connect to you and check out your work experiences, qualifications and all the past things you’ve done as well as review through your personal details easily without having to bother you anyway. Being a job search and head hunter friendly website, it completely replaces the need to send out CVs to bosses and potential clients because they would have seen everything anyway. However, not everything is just the good, better and best. LinkedIn does NOT do auto updates and requires constant updating from a person if he or she does a lo of freelance and side jobs. How else would the head hunters see how good the person is, right? Also, not a lot of people are connected on LinkedIn because they still believe in the good old sending of CVs along with a cover letter whether by e-mail or snail mail. The details entered are also not filtered and could sometimes be fake just so their profile looks impressive enough to cheat through and get a job. Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures!

What’s cool about LinkedIn is that it’s simple enough to use and that it’s quite easy to access for people who are interested. Plus, the URL can be personalized to the person’s own name, making it even easier to send links to the recipient and also for the recipient to remember anyway. It could be a very good medium for companies abroad to head hunt and search for talents across the seas but they would definitely have to look twice and know the person better. It’s also free for companies to post job openings so that people can search through it and apply for the job and direct some attention to them. After all, who doesn’t like free stuff?

Recently, Google launched their very own social networking site called Google+ and started advertising for it and asked people to “join the fun”. Of course, Google+ is powered by…Google and the good thing is that it even ties the person to Youtube whenever the person starts searching for videos. That way, the user doesn’t even have to apply for a Youtube account just to like, dislike or comment on videos. It’s impressive and quite convenient actually. One good thing about Google+ is just that they suggest you only add people you know into your “list” so that you won’t be facing stalkers and get into trouble. There are more than enough psychos online anyway. Then again, Google+ is somehow not all that famous and there are very little users because they are overshadowed by Facebook. Unlike Facebook, there aren’t a lot of games on Google+ and naturally does not attract people who are into social media sites just to kill time.

Clearly, Google+ is a social networking site that allows you to click on the “add” button just like how Facebook does and shares whatever information you allow to those you have on your list or “circles” as they call it. Of course, it’s free to subscribe…because people would probably just forget about it all together if they had to squeeze some money out of their pocket and pay for it. A nice feature on Google+ though; is that they provide an internal photo editing software. Something like Instagram on iPhones and iPods or Picnik on the desktop. So yeah, people who are extra vain or wants some “special” effects would really like it. It also automatically groups friends according to the subsets such as friends, family, colleagues and probably ex-girlfriends / boyfriends into one. That’ll be good when you want to hide certain things from certain people.

Lastly, there’s Blogger. Needless to say, Blogger is a blogging site. It’s enough for people to use it as a business portal, entertainment site, information sharing area or just a web journal. Yeah, it’s actually okay to write your deepest, darkest secrets on Blogger because you have the liberty to do it anyway. Blogger is actually a very simple website and very easy to use…in fact probably a 7 year old student will know how to operate it. It’s a good site to kill some free time and a lot of people treat blogging as a hobby anyway. Some people even find fame with just blogging such as XiaXue; the Singaporean lady or even the all famous Raja Petra Kamarudin who got into trouble with the Malaysian government with his posts. Then again, it’s sometimes not all too safe and it can be used to taunt and tarnish a person’s reputation. Sometimes, things that are posted may not be verified and taken from reliable sources so it’s really up to you to believe whatever is being said. There isn’t much control on what is being shared online…and your pictures can be taken and used by other bloggers or even stalkers.

On the other hand, Blogger actually allows the author to choose who can access the blog by sending out invites and then it’s up to the readers to decide if they want to read whatever is being written anyway. Also, they allow the users to personalize their blog to however they want it as long as they know how to play around with HTML codes and have a whole load of plug-ins for those who are interested. Of course, it is free and it practically never expires. So we’ll take for example someone who has a blog but leaves it stagnant for 2, 3 or even 4 years but the blog and everything written will just stay there. It’s pretty awesome, but at the same time embarrassing. People grow up, and flicking through the history can sometimes be weird. Blogger even provides unlimited posting space so even if someone was to post up to 5 posts a day, no one would stop them. He or she can have more than 10,000 posts in their blog and still there will be no control to that. Blogger even works in hand with Picasa Web Hosting for pictures storage but all users are only limited to a maximum of 1 GB worth of free storage and any extra would require…money. Not everything comes free, but 1 GB is quite a lot anyway.

Just To Realize

2010-08-02T11:17:00.000-07:00

It’s kind of funny how you barely know someone...yet in moments you fall completely in love with them.…because of some stupid bullshit they think or say… something cute or funny, it made you smile for once.. it would take a lifetime to forget… why is it that hard to say...You swallow it deep inside...pretending it didn’t make your day …it hurts making myself lie while I waste away never knowing what could be ..never knowing the girl might stay…..that someones voice made my eyes shine..their smile made me smile and their laugh made me laugh.. i never told them that..they believed i was some rad boy..casual friend…. different from the rest yet thought nothing more…everyday it killed me just the same.. to smile a pretty lie…you know what that is like…swallow it deep inside,never let your secret out..it seems the loved ones they fade yet if you told them they might have stayed….even when you know as months pass it will all be a memory..keep them as just friends and they might remain yet again they might fade... so give it all …but why risk it when you have given everything and you have nothing left to give..just die a little more inside…I say "the saddest words of tongue and pen are those of what might have been"…why is it so hard to see that if you told them it’s just that easy.…I gave all I had to give because I cared and wanted the best for you even if it didn’t include me. you told me things...i believed your words…yet you might have lied... infact the only truth you told me might have been your name and all I wanted was to be the better part of your day..but the best days never stay.. the two greatest feelings are love and the feelings evoked when i listen to music. music is my world. the only time i dont think about the past or future.

iPhone is just another piece of garbage.

2010-07-16T10:53:00.000-07:00

Ya right.. another iphone.. The iPhone 4. The only "smartphone" that isnt smart enough to let you make phone calls. Cant make a call? You must be holding it wrong. Should have gotten a BlackBerry or an Android phone you suckers. iPhone sucks. Its a big pile of overpriced crap. Take a crappy cell phone, and a low end iPod, give it a horrible interface, and there you have the iPhone.

Its just a pile of garbage. Why would you want to combine an iPod and a phone? Are you going to listen to music on it while you have a conversation? Its just another excuse for Steve Jobs to try to get you idiots to buy more of his overpriced crap. And the iPhone interface is just awful. Try typing or text messaging on one, lets see how long it takes before you just want to launch it out a window. No physical keyboard, just touch? Just plain stupid. It drops calls constantly, and the sound quality is terrible. If you drop it more than an inch, it explodes into pieces, the damn thing is made of toothpicks.

Proprietary software means you have to use iTunes (which is also terrible) to put music on it. Apps, ringtones and everything have the price jacked way up. Apple is screwing you because they trapped you. You bought their shitty phone and now you're stuck with it. And not to mention the fact that Apple is constantly releasing "updates" to the software so it locks down your phone if you've unlocked it. What a crock of bullshit. The iPhone is just terrible. No, its not that I can't afford one, I just don't need to spend few thousand buks on a designer pile of crap so I can impress my friends. You arent impressing anyone, we're all laughing at you. If they stamped an Apple logo on a steaming mound of dog shit, I bet all of you iPhone lovers would buy it.

Express Mt.Kinabalu Summit

2010-05-04T02:21:00.000-07:00

Express Mt. Kinabalu Summit

Tour Code:	EK21
Duration:	2D1N

Mount Kinabalu

The name "Kinabalu" originated from the local dusun word "Aki Nabalu", meaning "The revered place of the dead." In the past, the locals believe that Mount Kinabalu was the place where the spirits of the dead rested, so they treated the mountain as a sacred place. According to historical documentation, Sir Hugh Low was the first person who reached the summit in 1851; hence the highest peak, Low's Peak, was named after him. The plantations are reduced to barren rocks as you reach higher to the mountain top. The temperature is near freezing point on top, so bring along some warm clothing. It is rare to see snow but rain and mists are common phenomena in the mountain so raincoat is a must-bring item.

Itinerary

Day 01 Mt. Kinabalu Climb

0730hours.: Pick up from hotel and take a 2-hour transfer to Kinabalu National Park Headquarter. Upon arrival you will go to reception office for registration. Sabah Park Authorities will provide you with a mountain guide and a porter to help with your bags. You will be given a nametag and briefing before transferred by bus provided by the park to Timpohon Gate where you will start your climb.
1000hours.: Along with a guide, you will have your own experience climbing up the highest climber-friendly mountain in South East Asia. Take as many photographs as you like. It takes around 4-6 hours to reach the rest house at Laban Rata. 1400hours. Arrive in Laban Rata and check in to your hostel. Take a rest and have lunch. Rest of the time is free at leisure. You may get to watch a nice sunset if the weather is clear. If you have headache and nausea, pop in some medicine.
2000hours.: After dinner, make preparation for the next ascend which will occur very early next morning. Go to sleep at 2100hours at most.

Day 02 Mt. Kinabalu Summit

0230hours.: Start the second phase of the climb, which is the most adventurous and exciting part of the climb! As it is still dark, you will need a torch light. Hold onto the rope tightly and follow the trail up the summit.
0530hours.: Arrive at the summit, 4095m above sea level. Again, take as many photographs as possible, especially the amazing sunrise. Seeing a perfect sunrise from above the cloud is a breathtaking experience!
0700hours.: Descend to Laban Rata. The daylight makes your view clearer and you will be able to the peaks of Mount Kinabalu.
0900hours.: After arriving at Laban Rata, check out from the hostel and start your descend slowly with your guide. This would be the most difficult part of the climb. You can feel your knees wobble or even ‘numb’ due to the strenuous climb.
1300hours.: Arrive at Kinabalu Park HQ, have some lunch and receive a certificate for the climb before transfer back to Kota Kinabalu.

Includes :	Transportation, park entrance fee, return Timpohon Gate transfer, climbing permit, Mountain Guide, Certificate , Insurance, accommodation & meals as stated.

Worship

2010-03-22T18:21:00.000-07:00

“Worship” is simply the action of offering adoration, affection and love to our God. There are many ways to worship and music has always been an effective and passionate way for individuals to express their pain, needs, and love. In our weekly meetings, we seek to select songs that offer words and expressions that most people can understand with little or no “church” or religious experience. These songs, melodies and instruments are all simply tools given by our God to us, and we receive the pleasure of using the wonderful gift of music to show our love to God and our wonder at His creation.

Easy Target

2010-02-10T10:51:00.000-08:00

All her signals are getting lost in the ether

She's a landslide with a city beneath her

So take a good look, so you'll never forget it

Take a deep breath, I know I'm gonna regret it

Holly's looking dry looking for an easy target

Let her slit my throat give her ammo if she'll use it

Caution on the road lies lies and hidden danger.

She's got a mission, and I'm collateral damage.

She's the flower that you place on my casket.

Savor the moment cause the memory's fleeting.

Take a photograph, as the last train is leaving.

Innovated Touch Pattern By Apple.

2010-01-20T02:29:00.000-08:00

Patently Apple has the news that Apple has filed for another touchscreen display patent, but here's the catch: this one's probably not for a tablet! Or at least, not for the tablet we're expecting. The patent, which covers the idea of a thinner and brighter touchscreen display by combining the touch and pixel display elements (basically including the capacitive and pixel elements in the same hardware), could actually be used in any of Apple's devices, from the iPhone and iPod touch, to future versions of their laptops. And yes, it could be used in a potential tablet, but really, this is more of a way to create touchscreens anywhere rather than specifically a tablet-only function.

Note that this is also different from the dynamic tactile display Apple patented a little while ago. Personally, I'd rather see the much more inventive tactile display used in the hopefully soon-to-be-unveiled tablet -- I'd love to finally get some touchable feedback from touchscreens. But of course Apple will use what they think is best. Having a quicker and brighter display to go along with a multitouch screen wouldn't be a bad thing, either.

[Original Script]

Do u know whats is the difference between male and female? Males are only able to wear pants. But for females, they are able to wear pants and skirts.

[Modified Script]

Do you know what is the difference between male and female? Males are not able to do anything when they look ugly. But for females, they are able to cover their "ugliness" with make-ups.

(Kinda Sexiest here, just had that thought out of randomness. Was yawning while watching SOTY for the second time Officially.)

The effect of technology that can harm the society’s behaviour

2009-06-04T18:14:00.000-07:00

In these modern days, technology has been an essential in our modern life. No matter in work or in school, technology has been widely used in many different ways. For example to transfer information, organize management, and also education.

Technology has become an essential to human. Big companies that involve in major business had been reliable to technology. Without technology, their work performance will never be efficient to compete with other competitors in order to success. Furthermore, in human’s basic life, it has played an important role. Technology that involves in our daily lives such as laptop/notebook, mobile phone, microwave, digital camera and etc, are individually essential in daily life.

The society had relied on technology until the stage they forgotten their values. For example, human became less tolerant. In fact, expectations of human became high when something is not done in an efficient way. The other major problem is the social effect of technology. For example, portable music player has been push to the market vigorously. Many people are able to afford a music player. Therefore, as you can see in public places, many people place headphone in their ears. By doing this, human has become so selfish that they ignore everything that happens around them. Even if someone for example a nanny falls on her feet, nobody will care to even help her up. Such example has proves it all.

On the other hand, society has become less motivated due to the existent of technology. In this new era, task is always done with the advance technology. Low supervision or sometimes none at all, takes place in this kind of process. People had become extremely dependent on productivity. Technology made life much easier that we had taken full advantage of it. Being more efficient doesn’t define to the term laziness, but laziness is usually the motivator behind productivity. Human just want to get their job done fast so that they have more time to rest.

In the olden days, when the young people were bored and wanted to do something during their leisure time, they would do outdoor activities. In this generation, when teenagers claim that they are done with their homework and have nothing to do, they spend most of their time with technology devices, such as listening to songs with their portable music player, calling friends with mobile phone and gaming with video console. These have affected their daily life style and characteristic that some are suppose to be inside the classroom yet they are in cafeteria chatting, online gaming. Some are doing research but at the end they’re watching pornography and others are in Arcade. This thing have been known and seen by older, educator, parents and government as well, but yet still neglected or we can say also unseen.

In conclusion, technology has its advantages and disadvantages. But mankind had misused and had taken full advantage on it. For an instance, it has become a treat to all mankind such as workers got retrenched because they had been replaced by machines in order to increase productivity. Therefore, a deep study upon the use of technology has to be done in order to balance the relationship between technology and mankind. So that technology can be fully utilize without bringing chaos.

Media pad and iPhonelite

2009-05-13T06:35:00.002-07:00

Come summer, and world of smartphones seem to keep a watchful eye on every move of Apple Inc. While the world patiently awaits the launch of iPhone OS 3.0 this summer, news is rife about the launch of two iPhone devices – Mediapad and iPhonelite. It has almost become like a ritual now for Apple to launch an upgraded version of the iPhone ever summer, since the launch of the first iPhone in summer 2007.

Information sources reveal that Apple and Verizon (which supports CDMA technology) are in talks about launching a new device – one a light tablet-like device called iPhonelite; and another one is supposed to be heavy duty called the Media pad. While the iPhone lite version is said to be smaller and cheaper; the media pad version allows users to watch HD video, listen to music, and have fun with the help of touch screen.

Even though the news about this new iPhone device launch makes headlines, courtesy some leaked information passed on to BusinessWeek from Apple insiders; the authenticity of the devices launching this summer is yet to be ascertained.

There has been news about Apple’s meeting with Verizon about half a year ago about a Verizon CDMA iPhone in 2010. Many believe iPhonelite to be possibly the CDMA iPhone version in its initial stage. The other device Media pad allows users to view photos; users listen to music, and watch high-definition videos. The media pad is apparently smaller than Amazon's Kindle, although with a larger touchscreen.

Until now, AT&T was iPhone’s exclusive carrier and Verizon has always been the second option, primarily due to its CDMA background. Business analysts believe switching to CDMA would be expensive proposition for Apple iPhone. It would not only restrict Apple with a product exclusively suited to the North American market, but also curtail its business prospects.

You're Not Alone

2009-04-19T05:23:00.000-07:00

It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There's more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

She's just like him
Spoiled rotten, confused by the lies shes been fed
She's searching for no one (but herself)
Her eyes turn to green and she seems to be happy that she is hurt
And this time I think you'll know

You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out

(There is more to know)

We're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

(So tell them)

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
There is more to this i know
You can make it out
You will live to tell

You're not alone
You're not, you're not alone

College Life 2009

2009-04-14T07:59:00.001-07:00

Sorry for not updating rececntly about myself. I'm sure part of this blog readers has been very annoyed by the technology stuff. I will be updating about my college life recently.

On the 23rd of march, was the first step into my college life. I've made myself clear that it wont be a playground for me, but a place to gain knowledge. So, i made my first step towards my future.

I step in alone, and i step out. In the night, the moment stars are gathered around together, it will never be the same again. The ground will look as bright as the day. That explain my first day of college. I never come to know a group of friends all of them from different regions. It can be describe as a mix fruit juice. The cup of juice will still be sweet although you have mix up different kinds of fruits.

Having group discussion here was never the same as before in secondary school. It was rather efficient than boring. We share crazy ideas and solution in many methods. Despite the english language they spoken, working with them was a moment of joy. But i have faith in them that they will spoke well in future. It is just the matter of time, therefore i'll never give up on my group.

As days goes by, load of work are coming stack by stack. Guess its time for me to stop writing now. I'll update as long as i have time.

So long....

The art of listening.

2009-04-08T05:37:00.000-07:00

Listening is an art. It requires practice and it is not science. The mind is very important in the process of listening. But yet, the mind can go reckless if there is no time out. According to studies, a mind can only maintain 15 minutes of continuous concentration. This is where practice comes in. Research shows that human cannot concentrate for long hours. That’s is why during the process of learning, break is needed to rest our mind.

Listening is an unique art. If you capture this skill, you may receive messages in the form of verbal through one person which we call the “transmitter”. In this case, whoever listens we call it as the “receiver”. In a learning process, it is like making a call between two cell phones. There is so many cell phones along the street. But there is only one frequencies allow the phone to receive calls. When the right frequency is tuned, data transmitted from the 1^st phone is successful reaches the second party. So before you start to absorb new knowledge, make sure you are tuned to the right frequency.

To listen a verbal message better, paying attention is important. When your mind is away from the “transmitter”, while your eye is on him/her, concentration is not there. Do not assumes as there are many assumption to be made.

In a learning process, interruption is always there, and it cannot be avoid. But try to refrain from it.

Jail Breaking The iPod touch. (Modding)

2009-03-10T04:02:00.001-07:00

In this section, I will teach you how to mod or so called jail break your iTouch. This is only for those with Expired warranty iPod touch owner. When you do this, your iPod touch is able to install and upgrade awsome applications and also its no longer an Apple unit, but your own unit.

To jailbreak or not to jailbreak

Jailbreaking is the techno-speak term for unauthorizing a device. Unauthorizing a device allows you to tinker with the source code, add code or completely start over with a device and install your own operating system. By jailbreaking the iTouch, this allows you to install third party applications or completely change how the device functions. Depending on how advanced you are with modding devices, you could completely change how the iTouch functions so it no longer is an Apple unit but your own.

Jailbreaking comes with a price. If you mess up or change too much, you could render your iTouch useless. Since once you mod the iTouch, you void the warranty and cannot get any help restoring it, it is essential you understand the risks before taking part in any sort of jailbreaking with the device. If you succeed in jailbreaking, however, you can take advantage of third party applications to your heart's content and can make your device to new levels of use.

How to jailbreak

Manual Jail Breaking

Automatic Jail Breaking

(This is a basic guide for jailbreaking the iTouch. Depending on the type of jailbreak you download, these instructions may vary or change, refer to the instructions that came with the download. When in doubt, follow those instructions over this tutorial. If you try and follow this one when instructions may have been included, you may ruin your iTouch.)

First, you need to identify what version iTouch you have. This tutorial will show you have to jailbreak the 1.1.2 version. If you have the 1.1.2, the first thing you have to do is downgrade to version 1.1.1. This can be done by downloading a patch at any given number of web sites. Once downgraded, you can begin jailbreaking your iTouch.

Open up Safari and navigate to jailbreakme.com. Scroll down the page, find the Install Appsnapp link and click on it. Give it time to download, and once finished, run the installer on the main screen. When the main screen refreshes, go to Tweaks followed by OktoPrep and finish that installation. Once that finishes, it will gear the iTouch up for a re-updated to version 1.1.2 firmware.

At this point, you can plug your iTouch into your computer and update it to 1.1.2 via iTunes. It should update like you normally would finish a firmware update. Once it completes, let the iTouch refresh itself and then exit iTunes. Open up the Task Manager and close all processes utilizing the Apple application.

From there, you have several options. You need to install a jailbreak version for 1.1.2. You can find this by doing a search in your favorite engine, tracking down the files and downloading them to your desktop. From there, run the Windows-based application for your iTouch. Before you go into the jailbreaking, make sure any settings you need to check are applied and then go on with it. Depending on what type of applications you may be installing, you may need to tweak the settings before you jailbreak.

Once the jailbreak finishes, it can take up to 10 minutes, your iTouch will restart itself, and you will be ready to install third party applications. You will find an installer icon on the iTouch desktop and from there; you can install what you will on the device. Now that your iTouch is jail broken, the possibilities of what you can do with the unit are endless.

I'm Gonna Miss Sudan, Africa.

2009-03-06T13:17:00.000-08:00

As days goes by, its time for me to say bye bye. What I suppose to do has been done. Life here is not as easy as people think. People are just in their slumbers. This country-Africa, its seems like its been curse. Political issues rise everyday. Its not the same as in Malaysia. People here fight for their needs and shelter. Children are being left alone beside the streets like stray dogs without family. We always bring out the issue that states people in Africa are always hunger for food. Well, thats because not many people know the real life in here. Yes, not to deny that people here are hunger for food. But in Africa, people here are kind enough to offer u a loaf of bread. I wouldn't what life is outside Sudan, but I hope to explore that in the future. Even though life is tough here, yet people are still friendly. People around the streets are very friendly till a stage that you can make friends in just a seconds. Not like in Malaysia, people just walk their individual ways, heading to their own destination. Its totally different from Malaysia. Here, we can preach the gospel openly. We can just preach the gospel to the crowd, like what Jesus did. People will start asking question, and expect to get answers. In Malaysia, we cant do that. Therefore, I would like to say that middle east is a strategic place to preach the gospel and to do evangelism. But yet, everything there's a price to pay. Living a Christianity life in a muslim country is not easy. You would never know one day, people will just come up to you with a gun on your head.

Sudan would be a challenging place for me. Its a good experience in terms of physical and spiritual. I would like to share about my experience and stories if I had sufficient time. People shared testimony with me that would probably change my mindset.

So long Sudan. I will be back. If its mean to be, its meant to be. XD

E71 vs iPhone

2009-03-02T09:20:00.000-08:00

First and formost i'm doing this post out of boredom. And it seems that one of my friend is trying to decide whether to buy an E71 or iPhone.

Voice quality
E71, by far. This is the iPhone's primary achilles heel, the voice quality is brittle and irritating, to the point that I cannot listen to it for any length of time. Worse, people frequently have a hard time understanding me. The phone simply needs EQ and a mic sensitivity adjustment, preferably exposed to the user (in some idiot-proof way). In contrast, the E71 has probably the best voice quality of any mobile I've used (and I've used quite a few). At least on par with the best. I have no problem listening to the other party for significant lengths of time, and I have yet to encounter irritating sound, even from an iPhone on the other end.
Responsiveness
E71. iPhone 2.0 came with a lot of new features, but also what comes across as a fair bit of heft. Everything is slower, ranging from just a little in many instances to quite a lot in a few (the keyboard is VERY slow now, almost without exception). Even the "just a little slower" instances are significant, though, because of the nature of the UI. If you touch a button and can't feel a response, the way you know it worked is because it does what you told it immediately. Apple has broken that in iPhone 2.0 and thus the gorgeous UI feels sluggish and buggy. Again, the E71 is a marked contrast, being one of the most responsive phones I've used and by far the most responsive S60 Nokia I've ever seen.
Web
iPhone. The iPhone browser is beautiful, very easy to use, and its understanding of column layouts and zooming is excellent. Touch dragging, rubber banding, etc. all contribute to a fabulous user experience. The E71 browser is based around the same engine (though probably a little older), but without the touch UI it just isn't the same thing. Having to "fly" the cursor around just sucks.
Email
iPhone, by a little. iPhone's email UI is far superior to the E71 native or Mail for Exchange UIs. However, typing an email on the iPhone is less of a win, and I probably prefer the E71 there (tough choice). The E71's responsiveness is a win here, so iPhone wins by only a little.
Wi-Fi
iPhone. It just works. E71 has the bass-ackwards Access Point system which sucked five years ago and is now totally unacceptable. S60 should be ashamed. Having said that, the 3/3.5G connectivity on E71 is so good, I basically don't use Wi-Fi at all. One ubiquitous data pipe FTW!
Cellular/3G data
E71. 3/3.5G data is fast and responsive on the E71, and the general responsiveness of the device adds to that impression. I have the original iPhone, so I haven't spent a lot of time using the 3G version, but enough to say that I don't find it as reliable and responsive as the E71. Plus the sluggish iPhone UI detracts from the whole experience. Another thing I notice: I always have data on E71, when I may not even have signal on iPhone. Both are on AT&T.
Maps
E71, by far. Strange, huh? I love the iPhone Google Maps app, don't get me wrong, Touching and pinching and all. And Nokia Maps is a suck-fest to put it kindly. But, much to my surprise, Google Maps on the E71 is fantastic! The phone's GPS is extremely responsive and accurate and the Google Maps app ties into it perfectly. Zooming in and out is very fast (just hit 1 or 3) and much more usable while driving (did I say that?) than iPhone's. Perhaps because of the speedy 3G data, the search function seems blazing fast, and very accurate.
Home Screen
E71. It's customizable, with fast access to common features, email summary, broken out "recents" like voicemail, SMS, and missed calls, etc. iPhone is nice, but I get to things I need more quickly on E71.
Contacts
A tossup. iPhone's UI is prettier and easier to manage, by far. Adding contact info is very obvious. E71's UI is more bare-bones and editing contacts is somewhat painful. However, contact search is SO MUCH BETTER on E71. iPhone's search is dreadfully slow, mostly because it takes 5-10 seconds for the keyboard to function. E71's is immediate, and search is available full-time, you don't have to do anything for it to come up. MobileMe syncing is nice on iPhone, though. I have E71 syncing to my MacBook Pro and to Ovi (ovi.com), and it works fine, but it's not as "invisible" as MobileMe, for better or worse.
Calendar
E71, by a little. iPhone is prettier and easier to look at, but otherwise is somewhat sucky. I can create/find/edit meetings and reminders on E71 much more quickly. Defaults are better on E71 too. Again, MobileMe is nice on iPhone.
Typing
A tossup. I type faster on the iPhone, even though its keyboard isn't real. However, sometimes it takes so long for the keyboard to function that I would have been done already on the E71. E71 is fast and consistent, and then there is that thing of having real keys. So it's hard to pick a winner here. If iPhone was as responsive as the E71, it would win hands down.
Local connectivity
E71, by far. Bluetooth 2.0 w/ EDR and a pile of profiles. iPhone supports mono Bluetooth headsets and that's it (um, Apple?).
Tethering
E71, by far. iPhone doesn't tether. Thanks, Apple. E71's excellent 3/3.5G data speed makes this very attractive.
SMS
iPhone's chat-style SMS interface is truly brilliant. It's SO much better than the traditional one-message-at-a-time interface. MUCH better. Nokia, please copy this, right now. :)
Form factor
A tossup. iPhone is a great fit-in-your-pocket size, has a gorgeous screen, feels good to hold, etc. E71 fits even better, feels equally good to me (except for touching the screen of course, since you don't do that), but has a much smaller screen.
In-call features (e.g. mute)
iPhone. Nokia loves to bury these, grrrrr. iPhone wins here. iPhone conferencing works well (if you can stand the voice quality to begin with). In-call keypad is nice, Nokia still keeps the in-call keypress backlog in a dial bubble, which is annoying.
Camera
E71. 3.2MP gives you a lot more blurry pixels than iPhone's 2.0. But the real win here is video, on both sides of the phone! iPhone 3G should've had video. Bleh. E71 wins. Video also means apps like Qik which is very cool IMO.
UPDATED
turns out you have to autofocus the camera manually! Press the '2' button and it will focus, THEN take your pic! Much less blurry!
Media
iPhone, by far. Ummm, ok the Nokia sucks at media. Really, really sucks. iPhone is the best iPod ever (really, not just b/c Steve says so). E71 is pathetic in this category, sorry. iPhone's screen and touch UI just make the difference even more glaring. No contest. iPhone also excels at displaying photos, even if it can't take a decent one on its own.
Applications
iPhone. The iPhone SDK is a joy, lots of good applications exist, they blow away the equivalents on S60 in most cases (Twitter client, for example). Some S60/E71 apps are outstanding (Google Maps), but most are not. The Apple/iTunes ecosystem is very good for applications.
Games
iPhone, by far. Yeah... the iPhone is a standout game platform. Accelerometers plus beautiful 2D plus beautiful 3D plus great SDK => lots of fun games, for cheap. Great game device.
VoIP
E71. iPhone doesn't have it, and won't have it, given the current SDK restrictions. No background apps => no listening for incoming SIP calls. E71 VoIP works well, once configured, but configuring it does suck quite a bit.
Conclusion
Weh.. pilih satu jer la.. Review also do for u already lor. You not my dai gar jeh also wont do for u ler. So hard to talk about it on MSN k. XD well.. Good luck to u..

Footprints In The Sand

2009-02-28T11:32:00.000-08:00

There was a night, I felt into deep sleep. I dreamed walking with Jesus on the beach. My life experience just went through the blue skies. There will be two pairs of footprints every sight on the beach. One belongs to me, and one belongs to Jesus. And so, recently I found that the beach had only left one pair of foot print. When I saw that happened, I eventually recalls the time when I am facing difficulties. The vision of only a pair of footprint will always flashed in my mind.

I was greatly troubled and asked Jesus:

When I agreed to accept You and followed You, You will always be by my side walking the path way of life together with me. Why, whenever I'm facing difficulties or had obstacles in my life, You will leave me. Why when the time I need You, You will leave me behind?

Jesus answered:

My Dear child, I love You, I will never forsake you. I will never leave you. When you are in difficult times, you will only see a pair of footprints. That is because.............

I'm carrying you behind my back.

Doing God's work in Sudan, Africa

2009-02-28T03:20:00.000-08:00

Where should i start? Anyways, it's already been a week in Sudan. Living a life in Sudan is challenging. That was what Paul said. To me, its a good experience to me. I would say that its a good investment for this trip. I wouldn't be in this kinda place if it wasn't shooting a documentary video. But God had call me to do His work to show others what had he done in such a place so called "2nd most unstable country in the world"

To shoot a documentary video in Sudan is a tough thing to do. Why would i say so? For your information, in this place, you cant shoot video and take photo's freely like in other country. When me and my partner was doing our work, a group of people came up to us and tried to threaten us. But anyways, God had truly protect us.

We stayed in one of a missionary's place. Accommodation and food were provided. We didn't know much about the culture in Sudan. For example, anytime u step out of the house, u have to wear a long pants and etc, etc.

But the good thing is, they have WiFi here. XD I will be uploading some of the pictures in Sudan. As many complain that I'm always writing essays. Well, here you are.

Classes are being held.

Reviews on iPhone (Disadvantages)

2009-02-27T23:25:00.000-08:00

Much rumored Apple iPhone was finally unveiled by Steve Jobs at MacWorld yesterday. It impressed lot of people and Wall street too. But slowly the buzz is fading out and people(including me) are talking about the disadvantages of it. Since their announcement, I have been talking to my friend Paul Koh on the pros and cons of the iPhone. Here are the excerpts from our conversation:

Disadvantages of Iphone 3g.

- No video calls over the 3G network

- The handset wobbles on hard even surfaces

- There are a number of messaging downers

- Camera has no auto focus, nor video recording… nor any settings at all

- Safari browser doesn't support Flash and Java, doesn't have a download manager

- Bluetooth support limited to headset use only (no A2DP or file transfers)

- No office document editor

- No copy/paste functionality

- You cannot sync Notes and TO-DOs

- No memory card slot (but knowing Apple there will never be one)

* No removable battery. If the battery is broken, you send the phone to Apple instead of they sending you the battery. So no problem. Its definitely a disadvantage for the people who use a phone lot and rely on the extra battery. But how many people are using extra batteries for their mobile phones? Its very small amount. So I don’t think its a big deal.

What do you think? I know most of you disagree with me. If you are, please prove me that I am wrong. I am more happy to hear that I am wrong, cause I love this phone.

Review on Nokia E66

2009-02-27T22:51:00.000-08:00

The Nokia E66 is a fine business phone, and a great, small alternative for users who want a slick design inside and out, paired with loads of great features. The phone has great options for business users, including Exchange server support and a robust Office suite, though not everything is as easy to use as it might be on a carrier-supported phone, and we found ourselves frequently searching for server settings, additional apps and instructions, all to get the phone working on this country's most popular carrier. Once all the settings were in place, we were continually surprised by how feature-rich and powerful this device can be.

Pros: Solid, classy design. Great keys. Live, while-you-type searching for contacts. Great Web browser.
Cons: Many features cost extra, like navigation and Quickoffice. Networking seemed slow in our tests. Could have more multimedia features, like the Nseries.

Full review of the Nokia E66:
Design - Very good

The Nokia E66 is a very classy business slider. It has a tight feel to its shell, and it slides open with a smooth click. It doesn't have the seamlessness of a Samsung slider like the Helio Mysto, or even the Motorola Z6, and it isn't a small phone, but we liked the usability that the extra width added, and even the extra weight only served to make it feel solid. Besides the fantastic, brightly colored screen, the phone also features a very nice, comfortable keypad that was easy for typing, though it was only a numeric 12-key affair.

The interface is a re-skinned Symbian S60 design, so be prepared to dig through folders and enigmatic icons. The phone features a couple new design tricks, including an accelerometer that redraws the screen in portrait or landscape mode, depending on how the device is held. We didn't find this feature to be very useful, as it seemed like more of a parity update to compete with the Apple iPhone and Windows Mobile devices. More helpful was the fresh assortment of dedicated keys around the four-way button. Instead of the standard Symbian nonsense (check out the Nokia E65's keys for example), Nokia has wisely stuck with easily-recognized icons, including a Home key for the main menu, e-mail, address book and calendar.

Calling - Very good

Calls on the Nokia E66 sounded good, though we had some trouble with background noise on the busy streets outside our New York office. Indoors, however, the phone sounded fairly clean, and callers had no trouble understanding us. The phone has some nice address book features. We used the Nokia PC suite to synchronize with our Outlook Contacts, though the phone can also handle Exchange servers for e-mail, contacts and calendar entries. We especially liked being able to type a name from the home screen, from which the phone started narrowing a list of possible matches live, as we typed. This is our favorite way to handle contacts.

For calling features, Nokia once again stumbles on voice recognition. Though the Nokia E66 has a dedicated voice dialing button on the side, the speaker-independent voice dialing never once recognized our requests, a problem we've had with other Nokia devices in the past. Otherwise, conference calling worked well, and we had no trouble creating a four-way call from the phone. Bluetooth paired quickly with our headsets. The phone also features a speakerphone that is nice and clear, but not as pleasingly loud as the one we saw recently on the Nokia N78.

Messaging - Very good

The "E" in Nokia's Eseries stands for business (huh?), so the key selling point for the Nokia E66 might be the business-class e-mail apps. We had some trouble getting the Nokia Mail for Exchange program to work on our early-release unit, but we had no problems with the other e-mail features. The phone loaded our Gmail account automatically, and even defaulted to IMAP for Gmail, which we prefer. We even liked typing on the Nokia E66's soft touch keys. The keypad has a grippy surface that made tapping a breeze, and the keys were wide and nicely spaced for longer messaging sessions.

Unfortunately, like most Nokia unlocked phones we've seen, the E66 doesn't come with any pre-loaded instant messaging clients. Business users might not be as inclined towards IM, but at least an MSN client would have been nice. Even the useful Yahoo!Go program lacks access to Yahoo's IM service.

Scheduling and productivity - Very good

With Exchange ActiveSync support and some good synchronization software, the Nokia E66 is a real scheduling powerhouse. The calendar app is clean and attractive, with appointments that are easy to read quickly on the go. It can't do everything that Windows Mobile can, like inviting attendees to appointments (a feature we use often), but it looks better than most other scheduling apps on business smartphones today. For productivity, the Nokia E66 ships with Quickoffice for reading and creating office documents, including simple presentations, on the road. Unfortunately, our copy came unlicensed, so it seems like Nokia might want business users to fork over $70 or so for licensing fees, which is a shame.

Multimedia - Good

The Nokia E66 doesn't get the full multimedia treatment we saw on the Nokia N78, and we wonder why not? The changes would be simple. We would like to see a 3.5mm headphone jack instead of the E66's 2.5mm port. Stereo speakers would give the speakerphone a boost, as well as the music playback. Also, a more focused multimedia menu would mean quick access to the music player and other useful multimedia apps. The phone still packs an impressive music player, with customizable EQ settings and playlists that were easy to create. But these features seem too hidden, which is a shame because certainly the Apple iPhone has proven that business users want good music and video on their portable, as well. Still, the phone has support for stereo Bluetooth and comes packaged with a 2GB microSD card, so for a phone with business on the mind, it's still humming a tune.

Web Browsing - Very good

The Symbian S60 browser that Nokia uses with their high-end phone is one of the best on the market. We weren't blown away by the page loading speeds, even over the HSDPA network, but pages still loaded much faster than they would have over an EDGE connection. Once pages were loaded, the browser handled them with aplomb. Layout was nearly flawless in every page we checked, and the browser scrolled through long pages quickly, using the app's mini map as a guide. Going back and forth through the browser history was also a cinch with the slick-looking page snapshots that the browser keeps in memory.

Camera - Mediocre

The Nokia E66 uses a 3.2-megapixel sensor on its camera, with an auto focus lens, but images were still pretty lousy. Portraits lacked detail, especially around the edges. Lighting was problematic as well, and the camera couldn't manage a well-lit photograph even in our studio light box. There was a nice selection of options for sending and printing images, but we can't imagine wanting to pass these pictures along.

Navigation - Very good

The GPS sensor on the Nokia E66 was very sensitive, and found us in only a minute or so on the streets of Manhattan. Unfortunately, navigation and voice guidance cost extra on Nokia's unlocked devices, but Nokia Maps 2.0 is still a nice-looking piece of software. Browsing the point of interest database, we realized that someone should tell Nokia that the 2nd Avenue Deli hasn't been on 2nd avenue for years, but we're nitpicky New Yorkers, so this is more of a local grudge. In any case, Nokia Maps is still one of the smoothest, best looking navigation programs currently shipping on cell phones.

Laptop sidekick - Very good

It was difficult to find the correct settings for logging onto AT&T's network with the Nokia E66 as a tethered modem, but with some proper digging, we managed to get the feature working properly. Once our settings were customized, logging on was very easy with Nokia's One Touch Access software. Download speeds weren't so impressive. Even though the phone was surfing AT&T's 3G HSDPA network, we never managed to surpass 500Kbps downloads, and our speeds were usually about half that in our tests. This is still faster than EDGE and dial-up, and we're not ready to blame the phone over AT&T's network. Still, we've seen much faster.

Modding and Debranding Sony Ericsson Phone

2009-02-27T12:37:00.000-08:00

People is always asking how to modd their phones. Improve sound and/or camera, better menus, sounds etc. There are pages specialized in this stuff, but most of them are filled with information and you get lost easily.

I will try to help doing this mini-tuto. We will use a software called "Far Manager ver. 1.07"
Far Manager has a DOS-like GUI, so it's very familiar to most of us.

FM has two windows. Left for mobile files, Right for PC files. You select PC files and copy them to mobile. Pretty simple.

Let's start:
-Do a full battery charge.
-Do your files and/or contacts backup.
-Removing SIM and/or memory stick is not necessary, but it you want to feel safe, do it.

1. You need to install USB flash drivers. There are two ways:
First, go to sonyericsson homepage, then Support/Update service and download its software (SEUS). Once installed, you will have USB flash drivers.
Second, follow this from The Griffin tutorial http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1267845 :

Go into the directory in which you extract the file "setool2lite", and go into the "drivers" folder, there you will find another folder called "usb_flash_driver". Go into that and launch the installer that is contained in it, proceed as you read, nothing major will happen this is just a SE USB Flash driver for your phone.

Once the installation is done proceed to the next step

Go back to the directory in which you extracted "setool2lite" and launch the application "setool2lt.exe"

2. Now we will need to know what CID and DB is our phone. With SETool opened, select your model, then click on "Identify". It will ask to connect the phone while pressing "C" button.
Turn off your phone, remove battery for two seconds, put it again, connect your USB cable to PC, then to your phone while pressing "C" button.

Check the line: FLASH CID detected:
That's your CID.
To know DB, check the next list:

Code:

DB1000: T610, T630, T300, T310, T306, T316, P800, P900, P910 DB2000 [Marita full]: K608, K600, M600, P990, V600, V800, W900 W950, Z800, Z1010 DB2010* [Marita compact]: D750, J300, K300, K310, K500, K510, K700, K750, S700, W300, W550, W600, W700, W800, W810, Z520, Z525, Z530, Z550 DB2011: K300 DB2012: K320, W200, W300, Z550, W810, K310, K510 DB2020: K610, K790, K800, V630, W830, W850, W710, W880, Z610, Z710, K810 PNX5230: Z310 DB3150: K850, Z750, W910, W960

We will work with DB2020 phones. You will notice these are the kinda new ones.
(Note: PNX5230 and DB3150 are not customizable at this time with any method)

3. Open Far Manager. You will see the first image in this post. Do Alt+F1 and a new menu will appear. If your phone is DB2020, select SEFP.
Another menu will appear. Select DCU-60, 921600 and your phone CID as it shows. In this case, as my K790 is CID52, I selected db2020 cid52.

4. Click "Enter the Matrix". It will ask you to connect it while pressing "C" button, like SETool lite. Do it. Do not forget to remove battery and reinsert it before doing this.

5. After this, you will see next screen, so you're ready to get into your phone system. Press FS and wait.

6. Next screen may take a while, so don't worry.

7. Now we are into system. At your right you'll see the directories. What is for each one? I post the routes where is located most stuff we use:

Life In Sudan

2009-02-23T23:49:00.000-08:00

First day in Sudan was not really bad. When i heard that i will be going to Africa, I thought it would be some deserted ulu area. But eventually, it was not really bad despite the food. I'm still trying to adapt their food and culture.

Before flying to Sudan, I wasn't look good. That's what my parents said. But i told them that I'm fine. Maybe i didn't realize it because was too excited upon the adventure. While i was on the plane, it was a nightmare. I had a high fever throughout my journey.

After taking some rest during my transit flight, my fever slowly subside. My transit destination was in Bahrain. For those that dunno the place, its really a cool placec to visit. But the people there aren't friendly after all.

Anyways, I've arrived safely in Sudan. Following are the pictures I've took for my first day in Sudan.

An opportunity to shoot a documentary in Sudan was totally a bliss. I never thought of shooting a video overseas before. But fortunately, God gave me an opportunity to reach out and to His work.

Valentine's Day

2009-02-15T06:13:00.000-08:00

When we think of Valentine's Day, we often think of red roses, candy in heart- shaped boxes, mushy valentines, and winged cherubs flying about shooting starry-eyed lovers with arrows.

But did you know that the origin of Valentine's Day, or Saint Valentine's Day, comes from the life and death of a Christian martyr? According to author Martha Zimmerman, the date traditionally celebrated as St. Valentine's Day finds it origin in the Roman festival of romance called Lupercalia, when the gods Juno and Pan were honored. It was a fertility festival or a lover's holiday looking forward to the return of Spring. In the fifth century, in an attempt to abolish the pagan festival, Pope Gelasius changed Lupercalia and its February 15 date to February 14 and called it Saint Valentine's Day. Even though the names and the date were changed, the emphasis continued to be on love.

Who was the real Valentine, and why did he have a day named after him?

Some authorities credit Geoffrey Chaucer with originating the custom of linking Valentine's Day with lovers. No link between the day and lovers exists before the time of Chaucer, thus leading some to conclude that it was this famous English author who connected the day with lovers. The fullest and earliest description of the tradition occurs in Chaucer's "Parliament of Fouls" composed around 1380. Since that time it has been traditional to connect St. Valentine's Day with love.

But who was the real Saint Valentine? St. Valentine was a Roman Christian who, according to tradition, was martyred during the persecution of Christians in the third century by Emperor Claudius II. The only thing certain about the day we remember as St. Valentine's Day is that it commemorates a martyrdom. Claudius II declared all Christians illegal citizens. By his definition, they were guilty of treason because Roman citizens were required by law to worship the Emperor by declaring publicly, "Caesar is Lord!" Of course, this no Christian could do.

The real Valentine was a Roman Christian martyred during the third century A.D. by the Emperor Claudius II. Prior to his death, Valentine continued to minister in prison by witnessing to his prison guards. One of the guards was a good man who had adopted a blind girl. He asked Valentine if his God could help his daughter. Valentine prayed and the girl was given her sight. The guard and his whole family, 46 people, believed in Jesus and were baptized. When the Emperor heard about this he was furious that Valentine was still making converts even in prison, so he sentenced Valentine to death.

Just before being led out to his execution, the young Christian wrote a note to the jailer's daughter, signing it, "From your Valentine." The first valentine was really a Christian witness. Growing out of this story we participate in a custom of sending cards to people we love.

Given that the tradition of sending love notes grows out of a letter written by St. Valentine to his jailer's daughter on the eve of Valentine's execution, it's ironic that the card we send has received the emphasis, instead of remembering the content of the original Valentine's card: a message of unconditional devotion to Christ, even upon pain of death.

Over time the word "Saint" has been dropped from St. Valentine's Day, further obscuring the origins of this holiday. Instead of a negative reaction to some of the pagan origins of the day, why not celebrate the true love that compelled young Valentine to give up his life?

Remember that the day we know as St. Valentine's Day actually commemorates the death of an early Christian martyr, Valentine, who was put to death for refusing to renounce his faith in Christ.

Instead of chubby cherubs, sappy cards, too much candy, and soon-wilted flowers, why not point your family toward the true significance of St. Valentine's Day this year?

By all means, celebrate the day, but re-inject it with Christian meaning by resolving to live for Jesus without fear or shame, following the godly example of Valentine's unconditional love for Christ.

How can you celebrate St. Valentine's Day in a way that honors the original Valentine, who was martyred for his devotion to God?

First, give your life to Christ.

Second, declare the truth about God's love even if it costs you something.

Third, become a servant to those you love, rather than demanding that your needs be met. According to pastor Alex Stevenson, we all want to hear the phrase, "Be my Valentine." It simply means "you are loved."

This Valentine's Day, remember that you are loved. God loves you and wants you to be His valentine. The love that God gives us is not like the world's love. The world's love is only as sturdy as a paper Valentine's card. But God's love is not a flimsy, cheap imitation: it is the real thing. It is an all-giving love that was and is willing to suffer and die for our deliverance.

Will you be God's valentine? It is your choice. Say yes and give to God the love He desires. And when you do, remember the first Valentine and how he gave everything, including his life, to the God he loved.

The Golden Moment

2009-01-31T20:24:00.000-08:00

Once a brother, Brother for life. In life, we have ups and downs. Each individual have their own character and personality. When we overcome an obstacle,we overcome it differently according to ourselves. Some overcome it with fear, some overcome with courage. Its hard to tell. Sometimes we fear that the things that never happen to us actually might happen. So dont blame ourself for not being somebody. Anyways, i'm sure readers of this post doesnt get what am i trying to say here. Me either.I dunno.Anyways, something just pop up from my mind recently. Maybe because of some incident. Well, not to mention what kind of incident. Sometimes i really felt jealous for people that kind express their emotion and feelings. When their happy, they can laugh all out. When their sad, they can cry out loud. Well, for me? i cant do it. It's hard for me to do that. Anyways, perhaps some people that reading this might understand what am i trying to say here. Let the colours continue to shine in the days of happiness.

Act of stupidness.

2009-01-14T09:01:00.000-08:00

You call this romantic? Well i find this is just an act of insane people. I dare not talk much about it. But, its really strike my heart when i see my friend does this. I mean, what more can u do other than carving urself. U called this beauty? C'mon.. please....

Your Tears Had Felt Off, I've Failed.

2009-01-12T18:32:00.000-08:00

This street is too crowded
Too many people with secrets
At the glass, there's the fog hidden from it
The sulky face of yours
Is completing that rain
This street is simply too narrow to return to the story
These days are not green anymore
Just a few word exchanges
I'm left alone in the house, with half-filled memories
The seats in the cinema
Are separated far by distance
Feelings with no partner is a game of chess you played by yourself
it’s still too late to carefully write down your concern
Describing how I love you
Yet you leave me away with a smile
This feeling is not right anymore
I tried hard to retrieve
A bit feeling of care that I didn’t give
The many wish from your lips is very petty and low
I neglected to compromise it
However you want some company
ahh, This feeling is not right anymore
I’m the last to understand
Looking through the pages of circumstances which cannot be endured
You’re so tired
You have silently cried behind my back for so many times
So shallow
Yet my heart breaks and you accepted my sin, your beauty
I’m not worthy

Is Gambling a sin?

2009-01-05T07:37:00.000-08:00

Depending on who you talk with, you will probably get a different answer as to gambling being a sin or not. Many Christians argue that gambling is not condemned in the Bible and therefore find justification in their actions. I ask you to come to your own conclusion on this matter based on what the Bible has to say.

So what is gambling anyway? Is it a hopeful investment strategy? Is it means of entertainment? Is it an addiction? Depending on which reply you've given, it may lead to your answer.

1. Gambling as a hopeful investment strategy: The Bible has many scriptures on being wise with money. Please read Luke 19:11-27 which is the parable of the nobleman who entrusted his wealth with his servants. Note what happened to those who spent wisely and those who didn't. "A lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD." (Proverbs 16:33) I can suggest pretty boldly that gambling is a poor investment strategy. Whether it's a sin, I just don't know.
2. Gambling for entertainment: Some people can truly pull this off. I'm not a gambler per se, but I do have self-control when it comes to spending for entertainment. By setting a firm limit on how much you are to spend keeping in mind the likelihood it will be squandered away, you are less likely to be ensnared into an addictive habit. Weighing out throwing your money into a slot machine, for example, versus spending it on a nice evening out investing time with a loved one seems silly to me personally. To each his own I suppose.
3. Gambling as an addiction: I believe this to be a sin. Becoming in bondage or enslaved to anything is not what God wants for us. "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?" (Luke 9:25) Another scripture says, "Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, but he who gathers by labor will increase." (Proverbs 13:11) So do you have a reign on gambling or does it have a reign on you? "Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, one of those who is surety for debts; if you have nothing with which to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?" (Proverbs 22:26-27)

I'll leave you with a final scripture from 1 Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

Christmas eve celebration 2008

2008-12-27T03:16:00.000-08:00

Hi guys.. sorry for not updating.. Was abit busy since after SPM.. Busy going out and stuff. XD Anyway, christmas eve celebration was awesome. Even though didn't go for countdown. But as long the brotherhood stays, its much better than suffocate in the crowd. Sometimes, many things might turn up to pull u down. But, the band of brother hoods always support me from falling.

Never fall for pretty or make up girls..

2008-12-05T08:54:00.000-08:00

We can never deny that boys always like hot chick, pretty girls and stuff.. But do u ever know what's behind the make up? See for urself.. Enjoy...

This is the picture before she does all the make up.

And this is wat u get in the end result of male up.. XD Impressed huh?

Growing Up.......

2008-10-31T04:20:00.000-07:00

Anger, hattred, violence. They are really all just fear. Money is the root of all evil. When making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich you must first apply the peanut but not the jelly to the bottom half of the bread. The people that are hardest to love are the one u usually needed the most. There is never nothing going on. There are no ordinary moments. Every actions has its price, has its pleasure. Recognising both sides will become realistic and responsible for its action. Accident is a training. Life is choice. You can choose to be a victim or anything else you would like to be. True man reacts, but with the full reacts. If you cant do it, thats the future. There is no starting or finishing. Only doing. Failure is the root of success, you'll never learn if u never fail. Nearly all humanity shares your predicament. If you don't give what you want, you'll suffer. And even though u get exactly what you want, you'll still will suffer. Because you cant hold on to it forever. A true man do what he loves, but not the achievement. Living in fear you might fail. Life is just three rules. *Paradox- Life is a mystery, don't always find time to figure it out. *Humor- Keep the sense of humor, especially about yourself and the strength of all measure. *Change- there is nothing else to say. We always get excited when one told me that he or she gonna show me or give me something. You will never know what it would be. Bring us happy or disappointment. But journey, is what bring us happiness, not the destination. So growing up, is the process to be a true man.

NSt Leaders Retreat 2008

2008-10-19T05:24:00.000-07:00

Hey folks.. Haven been updating my blog recently SPM would be the best excuse after all.. Anyway, it good to relax once in a while. Its really stressful putting yourself at the study table almost everyday. Well.. I kinda took a deep breath in this weekend. Had leaders retreat with the youth group's leaders. We had great time and the Lord's presence was with us when we P&W , sharing and brainstorming together.. The objective was to plan what are we gonna do for the coming year which is 2009. I guess we had great time throwing out ideas to have our youth group growing stronger in God's word. It's really good to gather once a while in this kinda occasion so that we could build a stronger relationship and know each other well.. But indeed, it was really tiring to stretch our brains during the planning session. I felt that i have come to learn more about myself in this event. To grow stronger in spiritual and also my faith towards God. Indeed it wasn't been a pleasing year for 2008. Mostly is because of SPM, and i neglected God's word. Anyway, "cut the long story short", :P..... I hope i still remember my formulas for my SPM subject as the major exam is coming.. T.T well..... So long..

Why government insist to use english in science and mathematic

2008-09-19T04:04:00.000-07:00

Why Malaysian Government insists on using English for math and science?

This is because the whole world uses the language as an information and/or technology language. How dangerous it will be if we try to use Bahasa, especially in school. See example below:-

Hardware = barangkeras

Software = baranglembut

Joystick = batang gembira

Plug and Play = cucuk dan main

Port = lubang

Server = pelayan

Client = pelanggan

Try to translate this:

ENGLISH:

That server gives a plug and play service to the client using either
hardware or software joystick. The joystick goes into the port of the client.

Now in BAHASA:

Pelayan itu memberi pelanggannya layanan cucuk dan main dengan menggunakan batang gembira jenis keras atau lembut. Batang gembira itu dimasukkan ke dalam lubang pelanggan.

MALAYSIA BOLEH??!! (LOL)

Worry? Why should we.

2008-09-06T23:08:00.001-07:00

As you fight the good fight of faith today, remember this. Your mind is where the battle will take place. Whatever you allow to captivate your mind will rule your life. Will it be the Word of God or the lies of Satan? The decision is yours. If you want the Word to reign, make up your mind now and resist the devil when he come to plant doubts within you. Refuse to surrender to the circumstantial pressure he brings your way. Decide at the onset that you will not succumb to this trial. Dig your heels in and stand immovable upon the promises of God. When thought some that are contrary to God’s will, cast them down. And above all don’t worry. Worrying is meditating the thoughts of Satan. When you recognize you are worrying, stop it immediately. Replace worries, fearful, and doubtful thoughts with the Word. Be assured, Satan will continually try to tell you that your situation is hopeless. He will persistently peddle doubt, defeat and discouragement. But if you won’t allow him to sell you his goods, his commission will be zero. If you don’t buy his lies, he can’t cause them to come to pass in your life. God has promised that He will always cause you to triumph in Christ.

To blame is to hold another person or group responsible for perceived faults, whether these faults are real, imagined, or merely invented for pejorative purposes. Blame is an act of censure, reproach, and often outright condemnation. Blame is used to place responsibility and accountability for faults onto the blamed person or group. Humans will always be the same. It is just the natural phenomena. Selfish and self-centered. I've experience it myself. If you're week, u will always be blame. In society, we always blame each other when something goes wrong. Don't you agree with me? Well, you can never see people when they done wrong, they will admit it themselves without saying anything. These people are getting extinct in this world. Well, i have my own story to tell.... Nevertheless we should take a good look of ourselves at the mirror and stop judging others. In some situation, it is better to find solution rather then blaming whose fault was it. So stop blaming and stand up like a man to hold responsibility of one's doing. Stop being a coward. Same goes to the females. For your information, female holds the highest probability of blaming others in a situation and organization. I would like to end this by advising whoever that read this to change themselves and stop blaming.

BBQ day..

2008-09-04T03:58:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not updating my blog as u all know trials and Major exam are around the corner. Well, the last holiday this year was pretty awesome. Had a night of barbeque with school friends. At the same time, i got to know few friends. Well, they are actually Nick's friend. It was really an awesome night cause we had the barbeque during a rainy day. By the way it was only drizzling. So doesn't affect our "stove" much. We still manage to get the fire started. Nick used half bottle of "fire water" (in cantonese). XD I didn't manage to fill my stomach, but indeed thanks to shou yi's group of friend, that cook with me. We still manage to grill the steak we bought during our grocery shopping. Speaking about grocery shopping, i really have to let u know that it is really a hard time doing grocery shopping with a group of guys. Wait till you experience it yourself. The most ridiculous event was pushing Amirul ( a friend of shou yi) into the pool with his clothes on. THink of it again, i felt guilty pushing him in. Bakrul came out with his brilliant idea of his, but end up asking me to do it since i was standing closest to Amirul. But eventually, when Amirul saw Hazeem and Tata in the pool (another two friend of shou), he was excited and shouted " aku nak mandi juga la~" So i just push him into the pool. ( we had his phone out of his pocket, so no worries) Sounds fun huh? But the fun part is still after everybody had gone,Nick eventually burn all the rubbish with the "fire water" with another four of his friend. The four of them eventually to be girls, so i think they are pretty aggressive too. RAWRR!!! Anyway, thats all for now.. Ciaoz..

Coincidence? No way....

2008-08-07T07:55:00.001-07:00

Sometimes really funny to see such coincidence in our life. Life seems to have too much coincidence that we dont expect. But some coincidence are "man made". Does coincidence really happen in the real world? To me, it depends.. Some coincidence are really funny, and some are unexpected. Well.. for example, check out my this blog and my blog. {mylifeandfantasy4ever.blogspot.com} It was not really exactly, but i'm sure its even 50% the same. Not to mention the theme and the skin. Well... Some coincidence is like a car just ran through a red traffic light in a busy road, without getting hit. Well, thats really a stupid act, but, its not even a coincidence either. Thats called lucky.. Me myself experience it before such as banging on a a guy. That was not even coincidence either. To me it was a divine appointment. Believe me or not, every time we bump on people or we know someone new, God has a purpose in it. As the matter of fact, it is not coincidence, its God's will.

Its Isn't Easy

2008-08-04T14:27:00.001-07:00

No one ever said that living a Christian life would be easy. The following words help give us perspective.

IT IS NOT EASY

to apologize
to begin over
to take advice
to be unselfish
to admit error
to face a sneer
to be charitable
to keep trying
to be considerate
to avoid mistakes
to forgive and forget
to think and then act
to keep out of a rut
to make the best of little
to subdue unruly temper
to shoulder a deserved blame

BUT IT ALWAYS PAYS.

Sometimes, when typical christian done things wrong, people tend to began a statement by asking, "what kind of christian is this?". Well to me, they haven't know us long enough yet as we poetry a christian life. Sometimes human does mistakes. The bible says that we are to be the represent of Jesus Christ, BUT NOT Jesus Christ. So please do not expect us to be 100% holy, as u know, human are not perfect, but they can try to be one. So stop criticizing. After all, why not look at it in another angle, for exmaple the good things of it? I'm sure there is a lot more good things to talk about rather than criticizing. Well, we have to admit, humans always tend to focus more on the bad side compared looking at the good side of things.

Anyway, i hope this message would change people's mind set towards christianity.

How to treat girls nice.

2008-08-03T03:32:00.001-07:00

I've forgotten how to. So, i've decided to repost it. XD

Learning how to treat a girl right is one of the most important things any guy can do.

Now, I don't mean that I ever treated girls disrespectfully; but I certianly had a lot to learn about how a guy is supposed to act. My mother explained, for example, that as a sign of courtesy young men should (1) walk ahead of their date in a darkened theater or room, (2) walk on the outside of the sidewalk, next to the road, (3) stand when a girl the same age or a woman enters the room and stand when she leaves, (4) wait until the women have been seated (and help them be seated if it is a formal date) before seating myself, (5) don't start eating before your date, (6) always thank a girl after a dance or date, and (7) opening car and building doors and is a sign of respect.At first I suspected my mother's suggestions for dating etiquette were out-dated - or worse, that they were some kind of female conspiracy transmitted from generation to generation in order to control guys. After I dismissed the conspiracy theory I selfishly thought that if guys did all those nice things for girls, we would be the only ones doing all the nice things. "What are they doing for us?" I thought selfishly. Girls usually aren't the ones to ask us out on a date - or have to deal with being turned down, and they don't have to keep standing all the time, or open doors for the boys.Because of my suspicions and selfishness I was undecided about whether I even wanted to try my mother's ideas. But I soon learned that there are some time-honored ways for young men to act, and that young women usually like to be treated in those ways. When people go on dates there are doors, cars, dances, meals, rooms, introductions, and movie theaters. Each of those items represents a potentially awkward situation if the guy doesn't know what to do - believe me, I know from experience.One such experience came at one of my first dances. Somehow I'd gathered the courage to remove myself from the wall and ask someone to dance with me. The girl I asked actually said, "Yes," and suddenly I found myself out on the dance floor feeling rather uncomfortable. Fortunately, however, some of my friends had found partners also and joined us. As we danced, my friends and I made comments to one another and before I knew it, our talking had turned into a full-fledged conversation that excluded our partners. Immersed in the discussion, I became oblivious to the young lady I was dancing with and somehow drifted off of the dance floor without even realizing it. Back at the wall again I glanced out at those still dancing and, to my embarrassment, saw my partner out on the floor, alone. An awful feeling settled in my stomach. I wanted to do something, but I didn't know what or how to even go about it in an awkward situation like this. So I did nothing. That night, I decided that some of my mother's ideas might be worth trying.

As I did so, the first thing that happened was unexpected. The girls I went out with began to think I knew what I was doing and relaxed around me. The nervousness I sometimes felt disappeared too, and I started having more fun. The more we relaxed, the easier it was to talk. Talking comfortably might not seem very important, but it is the way friendships and liking begin and continue. By communicating well, I also began to get to know girls better.I'll admit that when I first started dating, I wanted to be seen with girls who wouldn't tarnish the reputation I thought I had to protect. However, after spending time with some young women, having long talks with them and my mother about many things, I found out that girls could be friends without any physical relationship. In fact, some of the dates I enjoyed most were with girls who were fun and didn't worry about trying to make boys like them.I soon found, though, that I felt better around and preferred the company of some young women over others. After talking about it, my mother suggested that I needed to learn how and why I got along better with some than with others because it would help me when it came time to get more serious about finding someone to marry. So I learned to be observant on a date, to think about why I did or did not feel comfortable.I began to look at those I went out with for the characteristics I thought important, like how well they communicated, their sense of humor, what they believed about religion and what they thought about themselves. I didn't think much about it then, but I know I was storing up ideas. More important, I also found out that most girls start out wanting to have genuine, fun friendships because they are evaluating young men too. What's more, as we evaluate others, we're also evaluating ourselves. Most people feel complimented by genuine interest and questions that give them an opportunity to talk about themselves.

My willingness to treat a young woman with genuine interest and to stop trying too hard to impress her helped me discover that I was often guilty of prejudging. I found after talking to some girls that what I had thought about them at first was later proven untrue.Women deserve the respect of men. Both men and women are warmed by it and helped to feel secure. In an age when there is much concern about equality of the sexes, some women are receiving unequal amounts of rudeness and disrespect. Many men are using the idea of female equality as an excuse to neglect courtesy.

It never occurred to me as a young man that if a boy treats a girl like a queen, he is raising himself to a higher level too. All men can learn honest courtesy. And all men can be known as "good dates," not because of their social standing or good looks, but because of the respect and kindness they show to those they date.

CAPRICORN - THE SEXY ONE (12/22-1/19) Dominant in relationships. Someone loves them right now. Always Wants the last word.Rare to find. Caring. Smart. Sweet. Loud. Loyal. Beautiful. Goofy. Easy to talk to. Everything you ever wanted. Easy to please.Loves to smile.Beautiful laugh.Patient.Amazing in the you know where..!!! Bit of naughty.The one and only.

Nobody likes people when they talk loudly. Get wat i mean. People had been mention to me a lot of time about my talking and stuff, but yet, eventhough i fix it, nobody appreciate it. I've been thinking all along.Since when stuff that i did get appreciate? I mean, at least a phrase like "Good Job" would do. Loud?! oh come one, when that time people speak soft kena scold, speak loud pun kena scold. What the world want out of me? Anyway, i'm sick and tired of repairing, fixing, modifying, upgrading my character and attitude. But wat i get? Just like a piece of old junky car left behind the garage store. People kept talking behind my back. Bad, good, insulting i dunno. But the fact is, they shoudlnt. I prefer people that come up talk straight on my face rather to be a coward.

There is one time, my friends shared a story with me. he was standing next to a very...
well attracting older woman , probably in her 20's...
and in front of me was two talkative aunties ...
he didn't bother so much well mainly because of the HOTT girl beside of him...
and when the train reached KLCC like normal...
people goes in and out of the train...
after awhile...
a old woman and that was obvious she wasn't around here...
just realized that she reached her destination...
she quickly got off from her seat and rush out the train...
she almost trip and fell ...
then the two aunties laugh and criticized her well of course the poor old woman didn't realized..
they kept on and on...
about her hair, her appearance and simply her stupid-ness..Its bad enough that you laughed...
but is it necessary to criticize her trough out the journey of yours ?
He should had said something...
But he regretted not doing so..

same goes to the people at school...
when whoever you guys don't like gets a reward..
you guys booed instead of clapping ...
i mean who the hell you think you are...
its already enough that he tolerate with you guys...
you guys...
who criticize him behind his back and dessert him from you guys...
you ever asked yourself...
are you worthy of scolding him ?
are you worthy of criticizing him ?
are you worthy of all the actions that your doing to him ?

if you really don't like him just shut up and stay there...
you don't have to talk trash of boast around about someone your not...
because it all comes down to this..
who are you to criticize someone's mistake and character ...
who are you to judge people...
who made you the boss ??
look to the mirror dear old pal....
look at your own mistakes...
look at your own flaws...

i hope anyone that acts this way reads this....
i hope you will change...
but once again...
who am i to ask you to do what is suppose or not suppose to do ???
The world is round, not a box.

Prefect Training At Sri Nobel

2008-07-16T05:25:00.000-07:00

Do you ever belief that peopla that hate prefect so much actually run a training for prefect? XD I know its unbelievable but the truth is, we did a great job successfully. Its really a though time for prefect to run their duty and set good example to others. Yes, they dont have their freedom to do crazy stuff like we people usually did. Sometimes prefect just have to run their duty because they are chosen to. Why prefects are so miserable in our school life? Why prefects are so annoying? Why prefects are so strict? Come on, this are their duty. They are just like a helping hand for teachers and the school. To control de school students discipline. If there is no prefect helping teachers, the school will be a chaos, and teacher will be busy and out of control. I'm fortunate to have such loyal and good prefects in my school. Not to mention their kindness and toleration on us. To me, i tell you people out there, my school has the very best prefect compare to other school. To all St. John's Counsellor Prefects and prefects, you guys are the best. Keep up the good job.

Unforgetable Time Of Life

2008-07-10T01:25:00.000-07:00

Not to deny that the most precious and unforgetable moment is our school life. We're only teens once a life. Time never travels back. So appreciate and spend the good time of yours while you're still in ur teen's. You can never find people using teachers white board to play board games. Moreover, you can never see a bag hanging in the mid air of a school building. Eventhough there will be conflic or misunderstanding situation going on, friends beside you will still come for support. School is a place where u can gain knowledge by sharing information within the friends and teachers, evevnthough sometimes the student have to teach the teachers. XD But, where can u see people outside sharing knowledge for example working in a company? Unless u know your colleague well. Do go out and experience the extreme life while you're still young. Better cherish your time teens before getting a weak heart or a crack bone. Of course, there will always be fun and laughters, sad and moody moment. But still, never let these things blocking from what you want to do. Even though some people which are hypocrites talking bad behind you, never let them influence you're personality. Unless they are pieces of advice, accept it. Time is needed for a person to change. Never expect a person to change in one night. Obstacles are all around in school. When u run away from it, you;re losing to yourself. Try to overcome it with faith and never give up in any situation.

where can u find a real RYUKE outside de street? XD

Fatty got dump..

2008-06-26T01:58:00.001-07:00

AS time passed by, maybe i've been busy enough to prepare myself for each and every up coming days. As usual, each and everyday will be full of surprise. It is depends whether surprise turn-up to be a good one or a bad one. Well, eventually Bryant got a bad surprise. Anyway, cut the long story short. We F him up as ong, Jen Yen and me put a smile on his face even though that he was depressed while attending tuition. Anyway, as the time goes by, Bryant is back to the normal with the fatty smile. XD

Jamming practice was fun even though it doesn't went well. Eventually it turned up to be a good start. Bryant intro an vocalist that sounds like an angel. Anyway it was a last minute vocalist by the way. Even though it was not really good in de co-ordination, well... i believe practice does makes perfect.

绝对不能放弃 ^.^

2008-04-25T16:08:00.000-07:00

任何一个女孩子在被人追的时候，心理都是很复杂的。她也许很开心，但是又带着点惶恐，她对这个闯进自己平静的生活的男孩子，有着欲拒还迎的矛盾心理，她不是故意的。不要以为她在考验你，她其实也在和自己斗争，她怕受到伤害。

不要怕你的主动会带来她的反感，你不主动，她也不主动，也就慢慢淡下来了。如果你开始的表白被她拒绝，那也很正常呀。不要气馁，谁知道这个女孩子心里在想什么呢？

也许你再表白两次，她就会被你打动，一个心地善良的好女孩是很容易感动的。

如果你受到一次挫折，就立刻离开，再也不去答理这个女孩，把自己紧紧地保护起来，默默地舔舐伤口，在你痛苦的同时，殊不知，那个女孩子也许也正在心里遗憾、后悔呢！也许她会偷偷哭泣，后悔拒绝了你，再看到你漠然的眼神，她也很痛心，但是她却不会对你说，绝对不会请求你回来追她。你的过度的自尊心，可能会伤害了女孩子敏感的心。

她会认为你不是真诚的喜欢他，要不怎么会就这么放弃了她？

有人说，男生真难，追女孩子太不容易了。可是我的感觉却是，这种现象跟男人和女人的社会角色定位是分不开的，从生理和社会的角度，女人总是被动的。如果反过来,让男人都脉脉含羞，女人变得勇往直前，世界才乱了套呢！女人的羞涩总是美好的、动人的呀~我总是听说是某个勇敢的男人战胜了多少困难，最终获得佳人芳心。相反的例子却少得很。

有的男生，就怕别人说自己什么死缠烂打，落下不好的名声。可是我觉得男生追求自己喜欢的女孩子，受了点挫折还继续对这个女孩子好，说明人家确实很喜欢，很有诚意，如果没成功，也不遗憾，并没什么啊？谁让人家喜欢了？最讨厌别人跟着瞎掺乎，也最讨厌那种自己没主意，过于在乎别人对自己看法的男生，活该这种男生找不到女朋友。

是男人就勇敢点，女孩子本来就感性，容易沉浸在爱情里。虽然你付出了辛苦，而一旦你的真心打动了她，那么你得到的将是更多更久的加倍的爱。这样的例子，在身边比比皆是。女孩子对自己的男朋友都是很温柔很贴心的，为了换来这份甜蜜，开头的辛苦算什么啊？而且大多好女孩都爱得挺投入挺专一的。

所以，建议有的男生勇敢一点，去追求自己喜欢的女孩子，不要那么畏畏缩缩，一来是让人觉得你没男人气概，二来是你自己怪难受的，然而最最最重要的还是：最后你什么都得不到。幸福总是自己挣来的，别指望别人施舍给你！

school!!!

2008-04-23T00:53:00.000-07:00

As u know, government school are pretty impressive when people say it outside. Especially the "CLUSTER" schoolSSSSS... So what if we are been recognize as a cluster school? I see no changes since i was in this school from 1 till now..The teacher still teaching de same way.. JUst that they are now kinda lazy were just ask us to do presentation and THEY themselves sitting at the corner shaking their legs when they call it SUPERVISING. What a shame. I'm sure the other school P&P are running the same way as us. Keep on doing presentations one after and another. PErhaps the education minister should find a solution throughout this matter so that the next generation would have a better way of getting knowledge in school. If not, what is a school for were there is no difference between spending time "lepaking" and staying at home or sitting at the mamak stall chit-chatting with buddies and so on. Anyway, we student also should co-operate with the school teachers while they are teaching. Maybe its because of us thats why thy give up shouting at us during the teaching is going on. But, teacher should not have this kind of attitude because they are paid to teach, and teach, but not giving up just because we are so call UNteachable. For example there is a scenario in my class........

One day, our form teacher came in as usual into our class. She is actually our add maths teacher, also know as our form teacher. On that day itself, the teacher was giving us homework, when he was listing the homework that she want to give, she was asking which exercise that we are on now, then one of our student speak up and told teacher where and where. Then, she saw some of our class student didn't finish it. So, she ask, who else haven complete the work that she gave. At that time, the whole class stood up and only 2 of our "SMART" student sat down. The teacher was really on top of her nerves. Throw everyone out of de class beside the two student, and ask us to sit along the corridor. THe second day, she came into the class as usual.. I couldn't believe in front of my own eyes. For so long being a student, i've never meet up with such teacher before in my life. She actually told us that she prayed so hard that she hope a miracle would happen. Guess what? The miracle she mention is that she will never be our form teacher anymore and never ever teach us add maths. BEsides, she also told our whole class that pray hard so that this meiracle will happens. Thus, another period wasted just to listen to her. By the way, the work that she given was only 5 days after itself. Maybe its not relevant finding this excuse so that she will never teach us again. Other teachers can just forget it and let us go, but why must she be so judgmental?

Anyway, that is just one example of our education teaching method.

THis are the picture that wat we were doing in our daily life in school.. XD

Another day, NST

2008-04-20T01:49:00.000-07:00

So, another same day, same time, building relationship with friends in church. I got to admit that you guys really have that kind of relationship so close, until we can even share de same iPod and same plate of food.( Know who am i referring to XD) Its really a blessing that we meet up together every saturday ber-bonding together at the mamak stall, sharing the good things and bad things happen in our daily life's. Not to mention the time i spend with my cell members. Its really nice to have people around tat care for u, comfort u, and also share things with u. But, i really do hope that we could interact more with the younger and thos that recently join NSt. I can see people standing alone or even sitting alone outside de SANC3 and waiting for someone to talk to. Sometimes it really a sad thing to happen. Think about it if one day u turn up in a place u dont know, standing alone outside de corridor, waiting for someone to come and talk to u, yet no one come up to u? :( Sad right? Anyways, back to the fun part.

Shou was laughting with madness when we were walking to the mamak stall.. mE, darren and leon eventually didnt get to walk along with them cause "someone" just close the door lift when we were walking out and thought they were using de B1 way. Anyways, marcia, sarah and another girl which is new in NSt turn up at de mamak stall.. Well... They were actually trying to leave when they saw me, darren and leon reaches there. I dunno whether she is afraid of us or wat. Cause when Nicole, shou and Han Rick came in along, only they decided to stay. XD Shou and hanrick was super bising untill the whole mamak stall was full with their laughter.I hope the stall owner get futrated with our noisiness..

Nuggets Of Wisdom

Where should i start? A table full of jokes and laughters? Or a week full of works and assignment? Well... My week was tight.. SInce ZARA and MARCHA complained my blog is kinda "not happening" so i decided to write something about it. My week was filled with ups and downs. Misunderstanding occur in every situation. Yet, i got to learn a lot from others mistake and also miscommunication. Sometimes things happen around us unexpected. We have to be though in every second and every minute for unexpected things that will occur in our daily life's. Sometimes i wonder, why things that i want, always turn up to be the other way round. Why this why that.... And so on... Well.. I got to admit that, human will not be contented with the things they have. We always just want more. Think about it, what happens to the people outside the world which are unfortunate? Without food, water, shelter and stuff.. I'm sure many people heard of these many times from friends that what happen to the children in Africa this and that... bla bla bla... But yet, these people still do nothing about it. Well.. What i trying to say is that be contented with what u have. Dont complain. What happen if one day, everything was taken away from you, and u have no way to go? No comfort, shelter,food and water.

2008-04-09T02:05:00.000-07:00

After viewing it, i was so amazed of it. I mean, its not by coincidence of chinese words related so much with the story from the bible. I'm sure there is much more story from the bible relate to the chinese words. God created man in a way that can do so many things. I really encourage u guys to view this link, especially to those whom know how to read chinese words. It will really amaze u. Anyway, i've been kinda busy these days for my studies, so hardy get to update my blog. Hope u guys dont complain or what. XD My life for this week was kinda tough ... Many things which unexpected happens.. :( thats all for now... Ciao!!

THe spastic guy with the spastic mind wearing a pair of spastic glasses on a pair of spastic eye. XD wakaka.. Anyway, Nick was doing stupid stuff by taking one of our friends bottle making fun wth de eye. It was so funny that it looks like a pair of gold fish eye. We weere compering Who's eye were biggest by playing with de bottle. Aanyway, Nick eventually was the biggest of all.. XD Today was the hari curriculum, guess wat? only 4 fellows in the whole entire school wearing interact shirt. XD It was so awkward. After school, we decided to catch a movie since Nick was planning to buy his converse shoe for his dad. After that, we went to buy our ticket. Eventually, we bought movie tickets which is GONE BABYGONE.. At first Shou was so freaking out of his mind thinking that it a horror movie. Eventually turn out to be a Detaktif kind of movie. At the start before the movie, the advertisment freak shou out of his chair. XD that was the funny part that the whole cinema full of our laughter. The air-cond was so cold that it freeze us for two and a half hour. The movie was very interesting because there is so many mystery and twiss and turn in the climax. After that, we went home. I ended up having fever AGAIN!! T.T Anyways, i think i'll stopp here cause i'm getting my headache now. Ciaoz!! ^.^

2008-03-20T08:53:00.000-07:00

XD That was something i really missed.. Hehe.. Anyways, the game was awesome.. Its was really the best extreme game i ever played. But yet, it cost alot for me to play de game. But its kidna worth it too.. Cause can lepas geram for my exam.. :P especially shooting people's head..But in return, i got two head shots.. One was from Ps.Dan. And guess wat? de Paint actually went into my mouth.. Yaikz!!! HAha.. But playing in de jungle was fun.. Cause how many times u kena shot, u still continues untill u conccur de enemy base. XD But de marker really sukx.. Cause whenever u shoot, it bends.. T.T sad case... Thx to Zara again, she's just suce a kind girl. After the game, she still left many bullets, but yet she donate everything to us. So, i just lepas all my geram by shooting on de far range bad. Shooting like mad like Rambo.. XD wakaka.. anyways, legs bleed, shoulder bleed... sigh.. But de worst thing was, the part were i eating ice-cream. Takleh tahan, when open de ice-cream, i terus put inside my mouth. Annd bad things was, de ice cream was so freaky freezy untill my lips and tongue got stuck at de ice-cream. Stupid me go tarik. Cause i was like super scared lol.. End up my lips bleeding like mad. Just like a vampire finish sucking blood.. Anyways, thats all for today.. XD Since some people say that i didnt update my blog for many years ago. XD Gtg.. Ciaoz..

Everything had gone!!!

2008-03-07T08:15:00.000-08:00

Sigh... Once again, everything is gone.. All my sweet memories, my files, my sounds, my videos.... Its all gone now.. I will never get back wat has left. By looking forward, things might be a better change in my life. T.T

He is Back!!!

2008-03-02T13:19:00.000-08:00

Gues who's back? It's Paul!! Haha.... Actually i couldnt really remember that he told me that he is coming back. Not untill when i was finish talking with ivan, suddenly i saw his shaddow walking up the stairs, then i quickly ran after it. I wasn't wrong, it was really him. XD I was really excited to see him back after a long time. Big changes he had. Tall, fit, handsome, sociable, crappers, dan sebagainya. After that, we had lunch together with him and Sam Wee. That session was really a great time. He was'nt realy a good crapper, not untill that day we sit down together and had lunch after church. Actually we had made appointment with Darren and Tata at Time Square. But since we hardly can get our formmer cell leader, Sam Wee and our old friend , Paul sitting down together and makan lunch. After that, Sam brought us to the nearest Putra line. Actually they were just accompany me to buy my CNY shoe. See how loyal are my friends to me. XD It took 3 hours just to choose the type of shoe that suites me, and I took another 1/2 hour to decide to buy or not to buy. XD But in the end, after a few nagging from them, i bought it. It's really a great time spending time and getting to know Paul back. Because we would'nt know wat kind of person he is now since after a long term.

XD

Having lunch at time square. Sick of this place.

Dont say it when u dont mean it.

2008-02-04T00:03:00.000-08:00

If sorry is the only word which can solve everything, then u're wrong. Sometimes people do hurt me so bad, but not untill the extand. I couldnt believe that a friend that i trust so much would do this. Its ok when she told me before. But, its no need to tell the whole world. The first time she remind me about it, i told myslef i will try to change myself. But she didnt give a chance and starting to tell the whole world. I dont need people to tell me wat to do. As long as the things i do does glorify God would do. Everybody are not perfect after all. If she is trying to say that i'm being immature, go ahead. I dont care wat others think or say about me. As long as i have my self consious would do. So, stop pretending or trying-to-be sorry for it. Once there is a friend told me. "Forgive, but not Forget" This words of wisdom really brings me through hard times. Eventhough its hard to forgive u, yet i would still think not just twice, but many times to do so.

To everyone out there that look down on my member, Jonathan Chin a.k.a Kokokai, which says that he cant play an instruement, now here is the prove. >:-/ So, Han Rick, shut up and roll ur stick before he roll u all over. XD Anways, the night was fun. At the first place, ryota was emo and Jon got piss off out of it. But in the end, we still end up blasting our mind in the studio.:P The two song that ryota compose was not that bad. It consist of the memories we had together. Anyway, after the night, Jon cant manage to wake up. So me myself end up walking out alone and took a cab to church.Today, hm.. church was not that bad. Not untill i found something out of it. Anyways, i would have torture her up and will never let her go palm. It would have happen not because of my member. Anyway, things would be forgive, but i'll never forget. (pick up line by ryota) At least i learn a lesson out of it. Never ever trust a girl eventhough when they own a pair of innocent eyes, innocent fatial expression and etc. They would even do anything that u'll never think of it before. Girls are just mean.. Thats all i wan2 say.

Jon, U ROCKZ!

Then nvm la, let it be. But the worst is, Shou actually didnt book for the court and make us wait from 11 till 1pm for the court. Ni lah kita geram ni. >:-/ Then, hahaha, here comes de worst part. While playing, Ryota pushed me towards the net. While dragging along the net, my ear torn of due to my earring stuck on the net. Starting that time my face were numb. Didnt know that my ear was torn. After that, i began to smell blood. Then i touch my ear, Baru tau telinga dah koyak. XD... Ryota were shock out of his life. Anyways, i was just an accident, so i didnt blame anyone for it. Then, apa lagi? Go for stitching lar... XD The doctor actually stitch 5 stitches for me. While doing that, i actaully still can laugh and chatting with ryota and the nurse.. :P Fun right? Anyways, thats all for todaay ler.... Eventhough i got my ear torn, it was an awesome day for me ler... Chillax dudez!!!

RYOTA a.k.a ALIEN

The story of confussion.

2008-01-20T04:23:00.000-08:00

Where should I start? Perhaps i should start with a short story of a friend of mind. What recipes do we need in a relationship? Love? Trust? Care? Cherish? Pride? Lies? Hm... I wonder... Too many friends, yet too many that got hurt. I could see this situation for so many times since i started my secondary school life. At least i could see things happen around them and get to learn their mistake without me undergo those mistakes.. Are feeling just those hi, bye thing, or suppose to be eternal and everlasting? Well.. I personally felt that, it would be eternal and everlasting if u got all the genuine recipes and bake a real relationship out of the toaster. Sometimes human do really make mistakes. If the second party doesn’t really understands u, chaos might be happen, which leads him/her to misunderstanding. I believe that before u start a relationship, make sure it is a committed and responsible one. Not one which is just a play off and game over kind of stuff...

Belated B'day

2008-01-17T04:49:00.000-08:00
