What girls ought to know...
This is a re-post from an entry in my friend's blog (with a few alterations made by yours truly to make it more suitable to my views)
We guys don't care if you talk to other guys.
We don't care if you're friends with other guys. But when you're sitting next to us and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and talk to him without even introducing us, it annoys us. It also doesn't help if you sit there and talk to him for 10 minutes without even acknowledging that we're still there.
We don't care if a guy calls or texts you, but at 2a.m. in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important that it can't wait til the morning.
When we tell you you look nice/beautiful/stunning/pretty we really mean it. Don't tell us we're wrong and deny it; we'll just stop trying to convince you.
One of the most attractive thing about a girl is confidence.
Don't be mad when we hold the door open.
Take advantage of the mood we're in.
Let us pay for you. Don't feel "bad" or "guilty". We want to. It's expected of us. Just smile and say "Thank You".
You don't have to get all dressed up when you're going out. We like girls for who they are and not what they are. We think a girl looks the most beautiful in casual wear and shorts, not high heels and dolled up.
Don't take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.
Don't get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your book of life.
Don't talk about how hot Hollywood/Korean/Japanese actors are with us. It's boring and we don't really care. You have girlfriends for that.
If you're not treated right by a guy, don't wait for him to change. Chances are, he most probably won't. Find yourself a better guy who truly cares for you, treats you with respect and honours your values.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes, make you smile when you are at your lowest; someone who will love you no matter how bad you make him feel. Someone who will stop what they're doing and look you in the eyes and say "I love you" and really mean it.
Give the nice guys a chance.
Guys repost this if you agree.
Girls repost this if you think its cute.
P.S. I know this doesn't sound at all like something I would type. Just thought it was quite thoughtful in a way. 1st time for everything huh? ;)

RM12 gone for nothing...
Watched a dumb movie today..waste of rm12...ah not gonna complain..said all I have to say d...let me just give a critical review of it
The horrendous movie I watched is
The horrendous movie I watched is
Legion
Just ur typical God vs. Man end of the world showdown...but it can be described in one word...
Blasphemous
The potrayal of angels was just wrong...and the potrayal of God being less compassionate and more short-sighted than angel Michael is even worse...Wonder what the real angels Michael and Gabriel are thinking...probably shaking their heads or laughing them off....ah well...plenty of action and gore...and bad language...ur typical hollywood movie....horrible in short.
Just when you thought hollywood couldn't amaze you anymore,
they come up with this amazingly twisted and illogical film...
That's hollywood for you, never ceases to amaze.

My Saviour
Was feeling really really down in the last post...(kinda obvious)....but God was great...once again....showing me that this year He is with me...even when He knows I've done wrong or I'm thinking of doing wrong He takes the time to show me where and how I've gone wrong...and the way to turn around...He has just been awesome and wonderful to me..can never thank Him enough...recently watched a really short video bout what Pastor Sam Evans said about Jesus as a Saviour...it's really meaningful and insightful...its on youtube...go watch if you want...really short video....

Thanks again You....I really do appreciate it.

My green tortoise....
Got scratched again today...in the HELP parking lot...seriously have to do something bout it coz there's not enough space..so on Mondays when classes start at 11 for me its either risk getting a summon for parking illegally or parking "legally" in the carpark and risk getting my darling tortoise scratched...there goes another rm180....my money's been saying goodbye too often for the past 2 weeks....repair bills keep coming...anyway..the purpose of this entry isn't to complain....its bout something I just realised today....
Before I realised my car got scratched..was on my way home and this song was being played on my cd player...
Before I realised my car got scratched..was on my way home and this song was being played on my cd player...
When I found You,
All became new,
Now I live for You,
Because You saved me,
And You forgave me,
I have been set free,
Everything inside me gives You praise,
For everything You've done in me,
I will sing to You,
And I will worship you,
For everything You are to me,
I will shout Your praise,
And live for You always,
No matter what I go through,
I'll lift my praise up to You,
In everything I will sing,
My praises to the King

For the benefit of those who don't know the song...its For Everything by Planetshakers...
So I got down the car...and decided to check and see if there was any scratches or whatever on it because I had to park in an "illegal" spot in the carpark..for HELP students you oughta know why la...so yeah...checked and found this awesome-ly large scratch on my JUST PAINTED green tortoise...and was like "What??!!!!!"..Needless to say I was extremely annoyed/angry...and decided to get my car over to a repair shop to see how much it will cost to respray it...AGAIN....and it turned out to be rm180...wow....
The thing is..when I was driving off to the repair shop I played this song again..and while I was singing it oh-so-happily in the car on the way home...I found I couldn't sing it in the same way when I realised my darling got scratched....even though I really tried to sing it and praise God all the same...it just wouldn't be the same as when everything was alright (or at least when I THOUGHT everything was alright)...and that's the thing I just realised....its really very easy to sing and say

When things are going great..its a totally different thing to sing the same verse when things are not so great....thinking back...its been quite a mind opening experience for me....made me realise that it's not easy to sing promises to God...because its hard to keep them when things aren't going my way...hmm...food for thought....
And once again...Maybank need not bother paying me interest since there's hardly any currency in my account anyway.....

Redemption's Hour
May 13th, 1969 was a dark day in the history of Malaysia;where civilized people who had banded together for a common goal of independence turned on each other with swords and knives...severing ties so hardly fought by our visionary leaders before us who could see a much brighter future for our Malaysia if we but banded together instead of fight individually...they achieved tremendous success..gaining sovereignty for a nation brought under centuries of submission...and the proud nation of Malaysia was born..but it was to be fool's gold...for under its shiny surface was turmoil....and it became ever evident as time passed..Malay's distrusted Chinese, Chinese sneered at Indians, and Indians envied the Malays...a cauldron of malice finally erupting as it overheated on May 13th 1969...Forty years down the long roads of history, the drums of disunity thunder once again....
The appointment of a new prime minister and his visionary campaign of 1Malaysia was seen by some as a glimmer of hope...althought regrettably it was also seen as a fool's attempt and merely the biggest joke in the history of big jokes...a noble attempt by our country's leaders to cement the ever widening gap between our people in this nation...powerful words were spoken...meaningful speeches were given to the masses...and proud propagandas were announced on billboards across the nation...it was a time for unity...it was a time for allegiances to be reformed...it was a time for the Malays,Chinese,Indians and all the other ethnic groups to put aside their differences and come together as one identity, one people, 1Malaysia. It was also a time for madness.
From the cow-head protests to the BTN incident, the year of 2009 has seen more than its fair share of issues. As the new year marks a decade since the memorable year of Y2K, we usher it in with a potentially disastrous incident that could threaten to break the already slim ties that hold our nation together. For years I have grown up being proud when I heard all that the Westerners had to say about our nation;a nation so diverse in culture and yet so united in harmony. It was a proud thing to say that I live in undeniably one of the most varied countries in the world. Sadly, at this moment, I am at a loss for words. I do not know if I can truly say I feel secure in my own country, my home, my "tanah-tumpahnya darahku". Looking at the tense situations all around right now because of the arson incident on churches, I can only help but wonder if all it takes is simply a minor push for the entire nation to descend into a realm of chaos.

Bersatu dan maju,

Selamat Bertakhta.

We know this song. We used to sing it every morning. It is the song so deeply etched into the maxim of our brains that it would take an absolute wipe of it to forget this song. And yet, what of this song? Look at the nations around us. We are falling behind in the race to become a truly developed nation. What are the criterias? Money?Resources? Have we not both? What are we lacking? I believe that the very words of our national anthem are screaming it out at us, if only we would take the time off fighting ourselves and listen. Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju. That was the dream of our forefathers, and that is the criteria that we need to maju. Go forward. Storm the world and show that we are not a bunch of bickering children. That is a dream. My dream. The dream of a humble Malaysian.
Yes, situations are tense. But now is not the time to point fingers. Do no get me wrong. I am not saying that we should let the perpetrators get away with it. They must be brought to justice. But in all honesty, they have done nothing more than pour oil on the embers that have been there, simmering under the surface for the past four decades. We are Malaysians, and we love our country. Now is the time to show how much we truly love it. While it is important to get to the bottom of this, it is also important to ensure that despite what the unruly throw at us, we can get through it together, not as Christians or Muslims, Chinese, Malay or Indians, but as Malaysians. As one people, one nation. We can ill afford to let our nation be brought down at the hands of sick minded people blessed with the twin gifts of idiocy and short-sightedness. While the authorities handle the issue, as Malaysians our job is to try to make the best out of the situation. Now is the hour for calm. Now is the hour for understanding. Now is the hour for negotiation. Now is the hour for unity. Now is the hour for redemption. We have had the exceptional good fortune of going through a horrible incident forty years ago when the nation was in chaos and yet emerging stronger and more united. Let us not let history repeat itself. This time, we might not be so lucky. Redemption hour comes. A small window. If it is missed, it might never be found again. Will we who love our country not take it?

In awe once again
I had a dream last night...in fact I think I had more than one dream...that my wallet which was lost came back...and was on my table when I woke up....and this morning when I woke up I checked my table and....no wallet...."ah well...it was only a dream..." thought I...and so I freshened up..lamenting over my lost wallet and all its contents...including some notes from friends...and went downstairs...on my way down I stood shocked as I noticed something on the stairs....lo and behold..there was my wallet....Couldn't believe my eyes..stepped down...picked it up and opened it...and everything was there....just the money was gone...but it was a small amount so it didn't really matter....but everything was there..IC,license,atm card...even my dad's credit card....looked up at my maid and asked how it got there...she answered a guy came over this morning and returned it....big sized guy that's probably in late forties..chinese...bless his kind heart...and once again God has shown how amazing He can be....was really a wow-ing experience...and its only the 2nd day of 2010....wonder what else He's gonna do....
Thank you so so so much for saving me the hassle of getting my important documents back...and for showing me that You give 2nd chances....I love You...... =)
P.S: I wonder if my dream that I got away with only minor scolding from my parents will also come true....heh....I hope it does

2010...I know You are with me
Its the first day of year 2010...and despite the celebrations I find myself in deep trouble....today has been a testament to the power of God...that He will stop at nothing to bring righteousness and justice....it also serves as a powerful reminder....that God is watching...and He knows...particularly since its the first day of the year...it tells me that God will not let me be when He knows I'm wrong...and that His presence is still strongly here even in the new year...while I'm saddened by what happened...it gives me comfort that He still cares...enough to discipline me
My parents are not at home...and mischief kicked in....I wasn't supposed to be out of the house after 11...but I was....I decided to go out with friends at 9+...and since my parents weren't home I THOUGHT I could come home late.....so I went to a cybercafe....and enjoyed myself.....without apparent thought for God and my parents...and I lost my wallet....that includes my license, IC, ATM card, cash(thank God its not more than RM10), and my dad's credit card. I believe it is no mere coincidence that I lost it...rather divine will that I should not get away with my wrong doings...as a result I had to call my parents and inform them to call the bank, and go to the police station to lodge a report as well as call my bank to cancel my ATM card...also I covered up my story so my parents would not know that I was out late....a deed I deeply regret doing even as I'm typing this entry....
And my God is awesome...no He didn't pull off a last minute miracle and I found my wallet....neither did He reverse time backwards for me....I was and am convicted to reveal the truth to my parents when they get back...and I know full well what is in store for me...and I can only blame myself for it...I accept that responsibility..because I know that is what God wants of me...and He is awesome...why...because the moment I got online and read my friend's blog these words spoke out in her entry....
I thank you Lord...there's nothing else I can say...I'm sorry...for going against You Jesus, and for disobeying my parents...I thank you for I know...that the year 2010 will be a wonderful year...because You cared....You cared enough to discipline me....May folly no longer follow me...May this year be a year in which I will bring honour and glory to Your name...I only pray that You will make me worthy of bringing honour to You.

I thank you Lord...there's nothing else I can say...I'm sorry...for going against You Jesus, and for disobeying my parents...I thank you for I know...that the year 2010 will be a wonderful year...because You cared....You cared enough to discipline me....May folly no longer follow me...May this year be a year in which I will bring honour and glory to Your name...I only pray that You will make me worthy of bringing honour to You.
