more than meets the eye.

i just had a pleasant time with my bro, cl. :) i really thank God for times like these, where we can just catch up and reflect on what has happened over the past few years. i suppose cl is as close as you get to a bloodbro for me so it was great!



meanwhile i chanced upon this picture on the internet...


needless to say, i was pretty shocked because i once envisioned a scene like this from back when i was 4 or 5 years old and still caught up with my love for transformers. once, my aunt asked me what my ambition was, and i happily replied: "when i gwow up i wanna be a robot"

( i was 4)

later as i understood that this was impossible, i shifted to " i wanna build a big big robot, so big that i have to climb a ladder to reach the top. and mum can bring me my meals during the day"


so as i saw this photo, it just brought back that thought. The image in my mind of a scene from my imagination of age 4. just missing mum with the lunch. haha.



meanwhile whatever happened to the routino. time to get back into action.

and ive got a funny feeling about the lakers...

yakisoba is nice

im too sad to blog today.

the lakeshow is about to end, and there's nothing i can do about it.
i've done not much for pd, and there's so much more i can do about it.

and so and so.
im going to bed like now.




i'm craving my japanese fried noodles. with egg please

blogg therapy

procrastination is probably the number one incentive for me to blog. notice i always start up my blog(s) during exam periods, or when i've got more important things to do. what can i say. im a champion procrastinator.

still, this morning's start wasnt too bad :)

"see you in 24hrs!" mr 8minabs man. haha, the line of the day the line of the day.


COME ON!!! :)


Proverbs 14:22-24

22 Do not those who plot evil go astray?
But those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness.

23 All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty.

24 The wealth of the wise is their crown,
but the folly of fools yields folly.

change of operating system.

are you a windows xp person? perhaps a mac osX (leopard or tiger?). pretty sure there aren't any windows vista purists out there (yet). maybe a linux penguin? *how come so many animals associated with operating systems - apart from microsoft!?*

anyway, i need a new operating system. not for my computer(s) mind you. but rather, for myself.

yes, a new system by which to operate with.

and the highlight's gotta be called: hardwork

yes, i'm sitting in union house waiting for the kopiministry guys :) contemplating my next venue to begin my revision for property development. this will be the last one that i don't have any good friends to revise together with. well, hopefully anyway. :) gotta step out of the boat more.

let's look at some key programs to integrate with the new upcoming OS:

• it's gotta start right. nothing sets you back further than a bad start to the day. i've noticed it tends to carry through to the rest of the day (and night) so it's gotta start from when you pop your eyes open. - that means no snoozing. a warm shower peps you up.


• establish good sleeping patterns. try to get to bed before twelve, and be up before seven. sleeping too little gets you cranky. sleeping too much gets you lazy.


• do QT in the morning. start the day with prayer. commit the day to God and remember his mercies right from the start of the day.


• try to exercise in the morning. not too heavy, you don't want to tire yourself out for the rest of the day, but heavy enough to work up a good sweat and get that heart rate going. alternate between swimming, running and gym.


• run errands after exercise. nothing like getting all the admin out of the way so that you can concentrate on the day's main program.


• spend at least an 2 hours a day on work. considering all the time i actually have a week, 2 hours a day is not much to ask at all. spend that solid 2 hours on whatever i can. if there's nothing to do, find something to do.

hmmmm that sounds quite do-able. if not ambitious. haha. i'll try to start this OS after the exam and through to next semester.

nownow, time to start work :)

kobe ftw!

the lakers won today. only just. like, just just. barely got it but a win is still a win, as kvh says.

down 2-1 now. do i like the lakers chances? i dont know. really this series could go either way, but i've got a few points/notes about the finals series:

- boston plays terrific D. people talk about 'lakers need to move the ball around more'. it's not that they don't want to, they can't. no lazy passes here, you can't even receive (or make a pass) without a celtic defender draped all over you and forcing you off-balance. which makes for an easy reach or strip because without getting your balance you don't have much strength to hang on to the ball, much less make a play. celts have a definite edge in this aspect, taking the lakers out of their triangle offense which emphasizes so much on ball and player movement.

- that being said, boston also make a lot of illegal defensive plays. the refs don't call it because the whole team plays like that so it doesn't stand out. also bad on the lakers for not selling the fouls enough. KG got called once for an illegal screen but he got away with a whole lot of other ones. (van gundy and markjackson agree) but if you look properly PJbrown and Perkins get away with a lot too.

- but, to be fair, the lakers also get away with a lot here and there. kobe thinks he's fouled every possession, which, while there's a lot of contact, is not always the case. Pau just gets manhandled and never gets a call, but shame on him for not finishing and not selling the foul. he's the new mr softy. odom can't finish anything at the rim. never ever have a seen odom finish a layup at the rim if he's got some momentum and run-up. (unless he dunks it) if you ask me, odom for the lakers has been the most disappointing by far.

- meanwhile rayray hit 5 threes in game 3 to keep them close (and fill in for the lack of scoring by kg and pp) good for him, he's been quiet for most of the playoffs. people were saying next season he'd just be a role player and it'd be down to big 2 and the rest. so good for him to show up on the biggest stage.

- ive said this time and again, but ive been most impressed with sasha 'the machine' vujacic. from day one by far the most confident player (aside from kobe) to take the floor for the lakers. i like the way he's playing and he's definitely got a winning mentality. confidence is the biggest thing for a shooter and sasha certainly has no lack of it. he and farmar have been impressive. the rest of the 'bench mob' really subpar. mr space cadet radmanovic is good at times but unless he gets a constant signal to earth its hard to rely on him.

still, lakers gotta win the next 2 games (at least). so stay tuned.

sigh.

if for everyone there was a certain look in the opposite sex that always gets your attention, that always make you turn your head... then this is that look for me.






any noticeable similarities? haha

coincidentally these are the main actresses in all the japanese dramas that i've been watching. :)

tondakke!?

heartattack.

wao lao i thought i'd lost my passport!
almost died.
but then
i found it
under my bed
thank You, Lord

:)

This is the new one.

i come to realise that to make a new blog, i don't need all the flashy stuff. none of the good graphics, photos etc.

i just need a place to rant. to shout. to be myself. behind all the flashy stuff.

and so, i don't need time to make a new blog. i already have one. this one. the alternate one. the one that only k knows. that I know. that You know.

it's probably (tabun) true that ive got an intimacy problem. maybe an esteem/popularity one that i didnt realise i had. I've always wondered what it was like to be like a yamapi for instance. (well more so that i could then be with masami/maki) but then i come to realise that they've probably got more problems than i do. it's all relative probably. I want to thank You for all that You've done, for all the times You've been there. been here. and all that You're about to do. i'm not into self-consolation. but having a low profile is good. it offers all the liberty of being true to yourself. of being honest with yourself. w/o thinking about what others think. i was never a quiet type of person, but i was and am a thinkingtype. which in turn led me to be yeah. whatever. haha. (suddenly i rem telling lucien that im a melancholic by nature) that's probably not entirely true. but i have my server downtimes.

sometimes i wonder why that is. what is it that ignites me like that. funny thing i realise, it can only be done really with mandarin/canto/japanese. it's like i've got a plug that stops me from being receptive/emo when it comes to english. haha. i know that sounds awfully silly, but it's like i've grown indifferent to the words of the english language. well, a lot of it anyway. haha. now, taking that a level deeper, could it possibly be because when i speak mandarin (or anything else) i actually put thought into what im saying? that is, because i have to think properly/carefully about what i want to say, so it feels that what i have to say bears more meaning, more truth? well, it definitely is more honest anyway. it also has helped me realise that im NOT a melancholic by nature. that im not has quiet/softspoken/reticent/lowprofile as i sometimes make myself out to be. what happened to iajl circa'95? I distinctly remember a confident individual who had a personality bigger than his midsection. and that midsection was prettydarnbig. like TAF club type big. so, what changed?

hahahahaha. i do know what changed actually. puberty. girls. image. the works. there could be a long list here, but i'll save myself the trouble. actually, up to age 13 it was pretty good. but after kl it went downhill. hey waitaminute! it's almost ten years ago. haha it already is ten years ago, just about. to think that a decade ago how much has changed. how much has happened. how faithful You are.

Lord let me want to worship You
for everything
for You alone, are God
You alone deserve all the praise
ignite my heart Lord,
to love
to sing
to praise
to give thanks
to You my Lord and King

zui liao jie wo de shi ni
er zui ai wo de ye shi ni

help me see that You are the source
of love
of life
of all things that are of You
let me put my faith, my trust, my hope
in You my King
that i will not look back and regret
nor will i turn to the right and left
but to reach for You
knowing that You love me
so let me love You too
with all that I am

Amen.

i donwanna be cold. i wanna be hot. i wanna be on fire.
