The Year Is Coming To An End, Hope The Fun Doesnt

Its been a while since I've blogged. Kinda lost the mood to blog, I don't know why. But since I have a blog, I cant let it die, can I? Plus many people read it, can't disappoint them I guess.

Well I left off, after a disappointing christmas, the only fun thing about it was meeting all my friends again, still waiting for the pics though I don't see any. I was only allowed to be out till 12 which was even more sad. Life is starting to be more and more frustrating for me, but I sitll have to live on.

I have been out a lot... well kind of... though it was always with my parents. I went to Sunway Pyramid, twice, in the past 2 days. Got myself a whole bunch of computer stuffs. Spend about a 1000 bucks on it, which I hate, because I'm not the kind of guy who likes spending unnecessarily.

Besides that, I guess its ok, no goin to countdown this year as parents wanted me to stay at home and prepare for church tomorrow. I have to go send my friends "New Year" messages now.

And... about my new year resolutions. I think I'll stick with the same one I've been having for ages - PUTTING ON MORE WEIGHT!!!!!!

Take care guys, have a fun new year. Dr. Love ain't gonna retire so I'm always here if you guys need me.

Christmas is over :(

Well I cant say Christmas was a blast neither can I say it was a bore. I don't want to get into detail because I just don't know why but I dun want to. I just had my mum's sister's family come over and had sum time with my cousins and then that night went to Steffy's place. That is the only thing which made my day feel somwhat like Christmas, THANK YOU SO MUCH STEFFY FOR HAVING ME OVER, AND THANKS TO GARY AND RICHARD AS WELL FOR NOT MAKING ME FEEL AWKWARD!!!!! I'm waiting for the pics, miss Shawn and Shaquille btw I think thats how you spell their names. That's all for now, hope you guys had a better christmas, chiow

Christmas is coming

Well Christmas itches closer and closer, but I find that I don't really know how to put this, but it kinda feels as if the whole meaning to it is not there. Yeah I know its weird and all but its how I feel. I happened to think a lot lately, was on the phone with my dear Cassey till 4.30 in the morning last night. Thank you so much Cassey, its awesome to talk to you, I feel proud of who I am when I talk to you.

So coming to that, I would like to take the time off, to thank all the special girls in my life who have one way or the other played a special role in my life and in making me who I am today even though I might have only known some of you for a few months. I am in no way posting the names in accordance to importance so don't you people get offended, one thing I know for sure its going to be a long post. So here goes.....

1. Cassandra - You make me happy so much I dont exactly know where to start. Thank you for being there for me last night especially, and I'll be there for you too in case you need anything. Lalalalala =p
2. Sharlene - I know we practically didn't even talk to each other properly when we first met, you were full of problems back then. I still remember how you used to suddenly get pissed at me out of the blue but I'm glad I did hang on because I don't know how my life would have been if you weren't exactly a part of it. Thank you for everything.
3. Meliza - I actually thought you were a stalker of some sort when we first met. And then how quickly things changed in an instant we were so close, I'm sorry I had to do all those things to dig into your past and all, but as I say and always will say I wont leave you Mel, don't you worry bout that.
4. Lisa Wong - Another example of how random people can be a good friend to you if you and of course they let you. I can't recall how I met you, I believe it was through Facebook, I'm sure there are many more things I don't know about you as well as things you don't know about me. I sure hope you give me that chance. Besides that, thanks for entertaining me and I WANNA KNOW YOU MORE!!!
5. Nichole (Nicky Baby) - Where should I start? You're my everything, well almost all of it. =) Even though you might be in England, you're always here with me, at the times I feel sad, all I need to do is just to play the recording of you, and within seconds you put a smile on my face. That's how amazing you are to me my dear, though we have never met, I believe I have seen more than many of the people who have met you have seen. Thank you for that and also for always being there for me and btw, HOW IS HAROLD?? That's the name right? =p
6. Steffy - You just knew your name was about to appear here didn't you. Well you deserve to be here, I cant imagine my life without you. How long have we actually known each other now? Ummm I think about 3 years? Those 3 years I will never forget how much you have helped me along the way. Every single time I was down I could count on you to always lift me up when I fall, thank you for those wonderful 3 years. And please find a nice guy, I cant rush to your house all the time =p I love you so much my dear Steffy.
7. Seow Ling - Ini banyak susah mahu tulis wor. I've known you for 5 years right? 5 crazy years which involved love, friendships as well as fights. You were a real roller coaster ride. It was kinda scary for me to deal with you, never knowing how you would react to the things I say. You've brought the biggest changes in my life, I wouldn't want to go in detail about that. Whatever it is, you I can never forget. You still owe me a movie la, he he. Thanks for everything, and I love you.
8. Audrey - Well naturally when I'm writing about this group, names just keep flooding in, I hope I can remember all of it. Ummm, you, I've known for 5 years as well, 4 wonderful years and 1 normal years. I'll never forget you, never. Its really difficult to forget someone who you have loved so much. I know life might not have been a smooth ride for you. Nonetheless you tried to make sure that it was smooth for me, and for every single effort you took, I wanna thank you for always being there for me, even when I call you at 2 in the morning. Thank you very very much and I love you.
9. Farah - You are a very difficult story to tell. Nonetheless very important in my life. Somehow you always seemed to be there for me when I was down. Yes I know sometimes we have had our conflicts but whatever it may be you are essential to me. Thank you my dear and I love you.
10. Angeline - You were another special person in my life. Rising and falling I could never really define our friendship. But, but, you were a real friend to me. At least I feel that way, and I really miss you, and I have no idea where you are now or what you are doing, but I wanted to make sure you were thanked for every single episode of my life that you were a part of. Thank you so so much and never forget that I love you even if I don't write it....
11. Nisha (Nishy) - You were one hell of an infatuation for me. I could never really express my feelings about you. However, you remained a friend to me and always tried to help. I know you're busy, but I really miss hanging out with you and most definitely bullying you. Hope to hang out with you more. I love you loads Nishy, thanks.
12. Rebecca - My list would have never been complete if you weren't a part of it. Where should I start with you. Met you 7 years ago, liked you 5 years ago, you liked me back 3 years ago. What a story, I'm stuck now I don't know what else to write. I realize now that I might have been a real pain in the arse for you, but somehow you never really bothered. What I hate about you is that you make me talk about all my stuffs but you never really open up to me, that was always the thing which bugged me, but I guess I understand. Nothing means more to me than your happiness my dear, nothing. Thank you for being there for me even though you're like 500km away I love you so much and I doubt that will change.
13. Ruzanna - You were one hell of an episode in my life. I never knew I could fall in love so badly with a girl I barely even knew. You were everything to me, and no matter what happens, I'll never forget you. I'm missing you like hell now, I guess you're in UK now, I hope you let me know when you come back. Thanks for always being there for me, and most of all thank you for always loving me the way I was, I knew I didn't need to be someone else with you. I love you.

Carol Service

Sorry I couldn't write this yesterday, but here I am today to write to you about yesterday. Ok I think I got that right. Anyway, I woke up around 11 yesterday and I gave you the update of the carolling and all. Today (21st december), however was the carol service. We decided to leave the house at around 3, have a quick pit stop in Midvalley and then head to church to start on some paper work to be done on the Sunday School.

It was my first time driving to KL, for those of you who know my parents, you'll know very well how extra careful they are with me. So as I was driving suddenly mumsad that she had forgotten to bring the stuffs for the paper work. Therefore we decided to spend time lepaking in Midvalley.

This is the sight that greeted us as we entered Midvalley. Its been ages since I've been to that place. I believe the last time I went there was to collect my cheque from Tony Roma's. Since then I have never been there before. Being back there brought fond memories of how it used to be before. I used to know the place like the back of my palm. Anyway, the place was crowded to the max, I would have loved it if I were to be able to work in Tony Roma's with the whole gang during this time. With the crowd there, and the joyous spirit of Christmas, it would have been amazing.

I bought some red and gold ribbons for the christmas tree. Then by 5 we left Midvalley and headed to church. As I told you earlier I was supposed to be the Santa Claus for the Carol Service. However, Achen (my priest) came and told me that I only need to get ready like mayb half an hour before the end and not now. So I chilled played carroms for a while then got everything ready for the Santa appearance later. For those who have seen me before, you will know exactly how thin I am, therefore it requires a long time for me to get ready as Santa. Anyway, it all went well. I managed to rock the show. Though the only comments everyone gave was "Santa you sure need to put on some weight". Oh well...

Anyway for those hopeful future skinny Santas out there. Here is a quick guide on how to be a Santa.

1. Get some pillows to stuff into your t-shirt make sure it looks nice and round and not like some disfigured round thing.

2. Make sure you put on your socks and shoes because later its going to be much more diffcult.

3. Get your suit on, and find a nice bushy beard to make you look real old.

4. Add a snowcap so that it covers your head and no one can actually see ur hair and all (this step is optional though it is essential to make it look real)



5. GO ROCK THE SHOW!!!!!


6. Dont forget to give everyone sweets. What is Santa if he doesnt give?

7. Now the stripping part. Just strip lor, that one also must teach r?

8. Lastly, Show everyone that though you might be a thin Santa, you sure have what it takes to be a good one.

I'm outta here.................

Caroling (The continued version)

If you're trying to figure out who that Santa is, yeah you guessed it right, THATS ME. Just like in my earlier post I told my caroling friends that I wanted to be the Santa for the last day of our church caroling. Well ok, I know what all of you are thinking. Santa is supposed to be fat, and I am no where near to being fat, well I had to stuff myself up with pillows and towels but still never really got to the size of the previous Santa who was my cousin.


So, after about half an hour of stuffing and adjusting at last I got my suit right and we set off to the houses to do our caroling. We were suppose to visit 4 houses today (Yesterday).

1. Rawang
2. Saujana Resort
3. USJ 4
4. Puchong

It was a long ride to Rawang with adults and kids alike aboard the van. The kids however enjoyed themselves throughout the journey, as the picture above clearly shows. At last we reached the first house, I got ready to pump into action but sadly the songs there were kinda slow, not really the ones I could shake about. It was pretty difficult to eat with the beard and all, but for those who know me, you should know that I will do anything to eat. So I sat in the kitchen, hung my beard on top of my head and ate my heart away.

I even had time to pose with my sister with the christmas tree in the first house. After wishing everyone Merry Christmas, we left to go to Saujana Resort, the posh area. We were awed as we got there, the houses were huge and so awesome. We entered the house and everyone went around to explore the house. We couldn't contain ourselves, the house even had a pool in it, so you can imagine how excited we were. Honestly, I've never been to a house with a pool in it so you can imagine how excited I was.

At this house, I got to show some of my "Moves" as the songs were upbeat and fun. Once we were done, I set off to eat again. This time they had vadai with dhal curry - my favourite. Damn it was heaven, I even had time to pose at their swimming pool. We chilled a little while longer for Dr. Suresh to come and once he came, we sang a few more songs then left for USJ 4, my aunt's house.

It was PACKED there. There were so many people there, it was pretty hard to dance to the songs. I managed to do what I could, and then I rushed off to eat again. Once I was done giving sweets, we left for the last house of the day in Puchong, to our guitarist's house.


The kids sure enjoyed the last house, they were pretty exhausted themselves and knowing that this was the last house, I guess their adrenaline kicked in. After singing all the songs, I hurried off into a room to change into my normal clothing and rushed to eat... AGAIN. All in all, it was a good experience to be Santa for a day. Though I have to do it again today :P

Anyway, lunch is beckoning now so I'm outta here, byeeeee.

Caroling

Just got back home after caroling.

Very tired.

Will update more tomorrow. Hopefully....

Going to rest now.

Bye.

Orphanage kids

So today we had the kids from some orphanage come to our college for the Christmas Celebration. So I had to wake up like 6.45 in the morning, once I got ready, I left my house at 8 and reached college at 8.30. Surprisingly the road was clear, not really clear, but still clear enough for me to reach in half an hour.

I got to college, and with nothing to do, I decided to pay Mr. Victor a morning visit. So I sat there chatting with Mr. Vic about a bunch of stuffs, then Brandon came along so did Edrickson, then I left about an hour later. We found Kamini and started to kind of prepare stuffs for the games and all. It wasn't long before the kids came, and after making a brief introduction we continued to prepare for the games. Then, Abg Faizul came with the Santa outfit, so, me being ever so crazy to do anything, volunteered to be the Santa, and changed into the Santa outfit. The kids were kinda, I don't know maybe excited? When they saw Santa, the skinniest Santa ever, come stand before them and teach them the ever so famous "Chicken Dance". After that, we had a game of "Amazing Race", where the kids have to go from on checkpoint to the other completing tasks at each stations before receiving their next clue.

Once that game was over, the kids sat down to have their lunch. They were awfully quiet and showed excellent table manners even though they didn't exactly grow up with their parents. I'm not really sure what they had, I didn't exactly peek into their food. Me, Brandon and Edrickson then went down to get ourselves some lunch as well as for the other helpers. And oh yeah, in between, we gave them some soft toys as presents. (this happened before lunch)

My ever so young coordinator (Darling) posing with THE KIDS' soft toys

After the kids finished their lunch, they went downstairs to get themselves some Malaysian Crocs shoes. In other words, they went to Giant to get a new pair of shoes for themselves. Once all of them were done choosing their favourite colour and sizes, the kids proceeded to the area in front of the registry, to get their gifts. They got a goodie bag as well as a mystery gift which wasn't so mysterious anymore once they dug their hands into Santa's trolley and took out the gift.

Then, the kids were asked to come take their new shoes, put them on and keep their old ones in a plastic bag. The kids were overjoyed, and the happiness on their faces were so evident they were shouting and running around with their new shoes though they were a bit sad they couldn't slide with it.

The kids eager to get their new shoes on

The kids were then asked to follow Santa (me) to the college's theatre - the conference hall. The kids were so excited, I believe many of them had never really watched a movie in a theatre like environment before. After a few technical problems in the beginning, The kids could be heard laughing to the hilarious jokes of the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks". Once the movie finished, the kids rushed out, excited to find out what more was in store for them today.

They proceeded to the area in front of registry again. This time, to an even grander crowd. The crowd included the Head of Departments,Lecturers, but most importantly our President - Dr. Lim and our Academic Director - Dr. Ma. We then celebrated the birthdays of all the November and December babies, well sort of babies.

Everyone singing the "Happy Birthday" song

After the birthday celebrations, all the kids were asked to come forward and take photos with Dr. Lim. Everyone, as in the kids, were scared of Dr. Lim at first, they then realized she was half as ferocious as she looked =p. And all of them made themselves comfortable all around Dr. Lim.

The group photo with Dr. Lim

Brandon took this picture, so you can figure why its so blur =p Sorry Brandon.

Once everyone was done, everyone was served with something to eat. The food was honestly, truly, to my opinion, very very nice, though some people might tend to disagree (hor, darling). There was Seafood Spaghetti, Chicken with gravy, fruit tarts (which was so nice) and curry puffs. You know what the worst part was, I am a vegetarian until Christmas, so I had to see all these kids munching on their chicken while had to be satisfied with the fruit tart and the curry puffs. Oh well, as the great P. Ramlee said. "CUBAAN"

Before you knew it, it was time for the kids to leave, all of them came forward and wished us "Merry Christmas, goodbye" before going to their goodie bags and making sure all their goodies were still in it. I decided to follow them to the car park.

The kids making sure their goodies are in place

All along, there were three boys, kinda extra connected to me. One of them, Pravin, even dragged me to the toilet and asked me

Pravin : "Anneh, is this your toilet?"

I could only look down at him and smile and replied

Me : "No, this is the college's toilet"

And then the other 2 kids come, Theeban and Gobi.

Theeban : "Anneh, you studying for what r?"

Me : "I'm studying psychology"

Theeban : "No anneh, I mean like doctor, engineer"

Me : "Yes, Theeban I'm going to be a psychologist"

Theeban : "Psy-ch-o-lo-gis-t r? Ok la whatever"

So that was one of the conversation I had with them three. So as I was walking with them to the car park. Gobi comes and holds my right hand, Theeban my left, so I was wondering what was Pravin going to do, so he just follows behind me for a while, then suddenly he just grabs my wrist and starts walking with me. I was almost in tears as I waved goodbye to them. I can bet you it was an amazing day for them but even more than that it was an even better day for me, being able to share my love with this bunch of kids who thirst for love and affection.

Camp Dance

Did I mention that I had to do this dance because one of the members screwed up his leg and I volunteered to dance? Well this is the dance anyway.

The cameraman is an amateur so thats why you can see his finger in between.

Things After Camp

Well I have told you all about what happened in camp. Now here comes the part after camp was over until today. I'll try to make it as short as I can.

I came back from camp and when I stepped into my house the first thing I saw was the new Christmas tree. 7 feet tall, Gold and red decorations, it was exactly what I wanted. The first night I kind of slept early, to recuperate from all the minimal sleep I had got from camp. The next day, I watched a movie, "The Day The Earth Stood Still". It was ok la, not to say an awesome movie and also not to say its bad, it was just kinda dull but with deep moral values. I went with my cousins, Divya and Dennis and my 2 camp friends, Anna and Kenneth. After sending them back, I got home, changed, rushed to college because I had this dinner I had to attend.

As I got to college, the whole place looked so different, I went to find my friends, and my oh my, the ADP section was beautiful though it was located at a rather nonstrategic spot. However, after helping out a bit, only a bit. We followed Mr. Victor to this Moghul restaurant for a Toastmasters meeting where Mr. Victor was suppose to give his 3rd speech (the first speech we were going to hear from him). As Mr. Victor said, he wasn't really prepared and felt that he did ok, it was actually quite nice. Someone even thought that he could do better than the other speakers (MUSHROOM), all in all it was great to be able to attend the toastmaster's meeting, I thank Mr. Victor for everything that night.

The next day was the HICT Open Day - Day 1, I got up around 5.30 and left for Shireen's house at 6.30, then went to pick Rachel up. She put a container of curry in my car, and me of course never having a curry as a passenger, drove the way I usually drive and by the time we reached college, unsurprisingly we found the curry on my carpet. To clear up he mess, we kept the container onto the seat, not realizing at all that the container had curry in it and also around it. By then, the seat was stained with the curry so was the carpet, I just let it be and hurried to college. To make things short, there were very few people who came to our booth, the location being most likely the reason. By 3, I left college because I had to go for caroling. Caroling was fun, sort of, reached back home around 12.

The next day again, I left for college but not that early this time. I reached college by 9.45-ish. This day, I wasn't really at the ADP booth at all, I was rather busy playing caroms, ping pong, chess and football with Choon Yau. Again the attendance was poor and again I left for caroling at 3. This time caroling was a blast, however I was told somethings by my mum which I had to give in to. But what really affected me that night was something an elderly man told me while caroling. We were wishing Merry Christmas to everyone and leaving. I shook this man's hand and he just grabbed my hand, pulled me close and said into my ears "I want you to become a priest". It kind of affected me the whole day, yes even though I was dancing and singing so happily it was still in the back of my mind.

Monday - nothing happened

Tuesday - nothing happened, except sis came back, and I managed to talk to her.

Wednesday - Went to Aeon in the afternoon, went to book the tickets for "Twilight", went to my cousins place, picked her up went for the Sesame Street Show which was playing in Aeon. Met a couple of friends there. Then hanged around for a while then went for the movie. Twilight is actually a nice movie I would say. I would probably rate it 7.5/10. I watched the movie with Shireen, Wee Han and his friend Paula.
Now besides all these things which have happened to me, I have been facing a lot of problems, which some of you might know. Its not those "Ouch, I hit my foot on the bed" kinda problems but more serious ones. Life isn't easy at all for me at the moment, all sorts of problems are drowning me at the moment. Love problems, friends, parents or rather family. Its just so difficult, but I believe God wont give me something I cant handle, so I guess I just have to wait and see.

Photos of camp

All in all, camp was ok, maybe not that fun. But to me it kinda kicked me right where it hurt because I learned a lot of stuffs not only from the session but a hell lot more because of the people I was with. I thank each and every one of them. This will lead to a revolution, mark my words, I'll do my best to bring a change into the church.

The gang - Me, Zubin, Ben, Kenny, Ashley and Dinesh

Camp

Now for all those who have been wondering why my blog has been dead for the past week, I've been out for church camp and then kept busy with the HICT Open Day. Anyhow I'm back now and I'll try giving all of you a glimpse into my past week.

Camp started on Sunday after the Holy Qurbana service. For those who are wondering what camp this is, its the 37th Annual Orthodox Youth Camp (AOYC). The theme of the camp this year was "Come Follow Me". I wasn't particularly exhilarated to attend the camp, but I attended it nonetheless because I knew she was coming and so also many of my other friends from Singapore. Zubin, Sherry and I left for the camp site slightly earlier than everyone else to prepare for the registration and stuffs.

The registration and all went well, I had to take the kids to the dorm after which we had a tea break then we had briefing and then refreshed ourselves. Evening prayers soon followed with dinner right after that. It was then that she came along with the others from Singapore. I had just finished dinner and saw her suddenly and was so shocked I just smiled at her and waved hi. I went in for the ice-breaker session, and once the Singaporeans came in I started my game. The game went well which was followed by night prayers, supper and then off to bed. That night, we made sure the kids slept whereas the slightly older ones we let them stay up n talk as long as they don't disturb the other kids and me and my gang (Ben, Zubin, Ashley) stayed up until 2am catching up with each other's stories.

We woke up the next day at 5.30 am. It was freaking cold, I was shivering what more it was raining. And oh yeah I was sleeping on the couch because the air cond was leaking onto a bed so there was no place so I slept on the couch with Kevin and David.


It was pretty much sessions and all nothing major I guess. We (the older bunch) heard from the younger bunch about a hypnotist who gave them a session and in the end where they managed to lift their friends into the air, somehow it sounded impossible to us, but the next day we were in for a huge shock.

We were freaking excited at the thought of being hypnotized or whatever she was about to do to us. She started off with giving us a brief description of hypnotism, and some of us asked questions that were bugging our heads. Then at last the time came, she told us to get into a group of 5, me, Zubin, Ben, Ashley and Dinesh got in a group. She then told us to keep the biggest guy on the chair so naturally our group put Ben on the chair. We were then told the process :


1) we will use 2 fingers each, 2 people will hold under the armpit and 2 more under the knees to lift the person up

2)she will say somethings that we must totally concentrate on and totally believe in

3)We lift the person up

She first told us to picture ourselves as tiny little mouses, scrawling on the floor, with small hands and a small body, helpless, looking around for cheese. Then she asks us to lift our friend, and true enough we couldn't even get the legs to budge even an inch above the ground. Next, she told us that she is going to make us lift our friend.

We were all pumped with excitement, so she tells us to close our eyes, and she makes us picture ourselves as Superman, that we can carry buildings and fly, that our legs were pumping with muscles, that our chests were pushed out with our hands also feeling so strong. And then she says, "Now on the count of three, you're going to lift your friend up. 1...2...3..." and the next thing you know, we open our eyes and with no effort at all, we lift our friend right up to the air, and not like a few inches above ground but like 5 feet above the ground.

Once we set him down, we were dumbfounded, we couldn't believe what just happened. Anyhow she asks us to be seated again and she explains more about hypnotism and all and then she said she'll let us have one more activity. "Now close your eyes, concentrate on your eyes, you're letting all your troubles drift away, you're in a state of relaxation, you are totally relaxed. Now try to open your eyes, you can't, because you don't want to leave this state. Focus on your right hand, its getting heavy, as if there is a book, a big book on your hand. Its sinking into your leg (And sure enough you feel as if your right hand is sinking into your leg, you try to lift it but it wont budge it just sinks more) Now you're left hand is getting lighter, it feels almost weightless, it feels as if you have 2 helium balloons tied to your hand, at any time if you feel as if you need to change your sitting position to make you feel more relaxed make sure you do so. (As she is saying this, you can actually feel that your left hand is moving up, and I personally tried to lift my right hand as well but it wouldn't budge, I tried to make my left hand heavy but no, it just continued floating in the air) Now you shall start counting until you forget the numbers that you were saying (Straight away my head raced, 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9.. I counted so fast that I realized my left hand was going down again, I relaxed my mind and continued counting but slower this time and sure enough I lost count) Now you shall open your eyes and leave this relaxed state, open your eyes" When we opened our eyes, we saw that some of our hands were in the air, some way up high, some just slightly above. With that, she told us how we can do whatever we want if we put our minds to it, that is how strong we are, that all we need to do is believe in ourselves, and she handed her name cards to us and told us that we can contact her at any time if we needed any sort of help.

Now even though all this happened right in front of our eyes, we needed to be certain that all that had just happened wasn't merely some kind of hoax. I jokingly told my friends that the only way to be certain was to lift my 120kg cousin. I hope he doesn't mind me saying this. So we kinda practised it on... wait not me but the others were practising it with their friends. We approached David and he freaked out, he didn't want us to carry him, but we did. Suddenly, my cousin bro, Sherry came in. That was it, me, Zubin, Ben and Ashley went to him and told him we were about to lift him up. He was a good sport he sat on the chair as we prepared with our self hypnotizing.
Everyone was surrounding us, everyone wanted to see whether at last, does this hypnotizing thing really work. We got ourselves in the mood, and at last when I knew I was ready, I asked them "Ok shall we do it?" and they said yes. 1...2...3...and *$!@ing shit my cousin was in the air, supported by four people who were lifting him up with 2 fingers each. That was the final straw, this shit works, trust me and I still do practice it sometimes at night lifting my bed.
Besides that they day was pretty ok, they had confession that night which I did not go for because I really wanted to talk to her and abolish the tradition of talking only on the last night. Sadly my dreams were dashed, the Singaporeans had planned a dance for Campers Night, however one of their dancers, had a small accident and sprained his leg if I'm not mistaken, so I told my friend I'll dance for that guy, and so I had to train the whole night all the moves, every single step and therefore couldn't talk to her that night. I know I screwed up, I know I pissed her off, but I had to do it.
The next day, went as usual, Campers Night went ok I guess besides the fact that I screwed up the PA system and was in deep shit. That night, I made sure I had some time with her, I didn't want to leave camp thinking that I didn't spend enough time with her. Just to make things short, it never was enough, my mind was on many other things as well. Before I was talking to her, we had a boys time out. Not the typical boys time out but a real different one. I'm sure Ben, Zubin and Ashley know what I mean.
Well all in all, camp wasnt as great as it usually was, the PA system was fixed by the way which really eased the pain out of me. I find that there a lot of things that should be taken into account and be changed if it could. I have to make some kind of change, or things might only get worse.

Miss Mystery a.k.a Catwoman

This post goes out to a special girl in my life, who played a big role in making me the person I am now. Sadly she doesn't want to be named and would like to be known as just Miss Mystery. So Miss Mystery, I hope you do enjoy this post. Oh, now she wants to be known as Catwoman so fine whatever you are, enjoy the post.



Now, back in school as I mentioned in my earlier post, the teachers and all knew about my habit of writing love stories. So they gave me a title which sounded like this "I fell in love the moment I saw it" begin your essay with these words. So I sat there thinking how the hell would I be able to write a love story. The teachers got me this time, they used the word "IT". As I sat there wondering what to do, a crazy idea stuck my head. This is that crazy idea...



I fell in love the moment I saw it. Why I used the word 'it' I asked myself. Just one gaze at her face told me why. She was an angel, a goddess, maybe something even more. The golden hair straight down on her shoulders, those twinklng blue eyes which could drown you the moment you laid your eyes upon it and those lips so red that even the reddest of roses would look pale compared to it. That was 'it', 'it' was the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes upon all my life.



It was in Form 1, primary life was over and secondary life had just begun. As all fresh teengaers, I was attracted to a lot of girls. The first day of secondary school began and I felt as if it was just then that my life had began. The moment I gazed at her I knew she would change my life. Change me in any way and every way. Well, life never gives anything to you easily. Just to know this her, I had to wait and wait and wait. At last, the day came where I could finally speak to the angel, to my angel.



I had just gone through another whole session of lecturing from my parents. Staring at the ground, walking fast, little did I know that my mum's words would help me so quickly. I bumped into her, a group of friends were with her and giggled at the sight of us. I can still remember the first words I told her. She was standing with her head bowed, I don't know what got into me but suddenly I was full of confidence. "I'm sorry, didn't mean to bump into you, I just had a rough day, you know" I told her. That was it, I was blown away when she lifted her face and I swear those eyes just "burned" me. We didn't speak a single word for all that we had to say were said by our hearts.



They say love at first sight never happens, I guess I as just really lucky. It was shameful in fact, because I didn't even know her name, but all we knew was that we were made for each other. Of course I did find out her name after that. She was Giselle, just hearing the name made me feel warm in my heart and it still does to this very day. We loved each other a lot, and the whole school knew about it too. We managed to have a strong relationship until Form 4.



We faced a lot of tribulations, none of them easy for the both of us, but we managed to overcome it. There was once a scandal which involved me and another girl, Samantha. We were quite close but not as we were rumoured to be - couples. She was more like a sister to me and although everyone doubted us, Giselle never left my side, she was always there and never doubted me.

As the old saying goes "all's well ends well", we were very happy but something quite contrary to the old saying happened. It happened in school, I was involved in a fight. These few "idiots" were unhappy because I had Giselle as my girlfriend and they came to have a fight with me. It was two against one, but being a taekwando black belt and having Giselle beside me, I feared nothing. They charged at me, and I made a guy unconscious instantly. The other guy was more experienced and gave a good fight. It was then that I heard her scream, the most excruciating scream I have ever heard in my life. As I turned back, I saw Giselle, tears on her face, lying on theground with a knife pierced through her heart. The guys seeing this ran away and fled from the scene.

I gazed down at her, as tears trickled down my face. I held her tight, tight in my arms and placed her on my lap. "Dont go Giselle, dont leave me here. You know I cant live without you," I cried to her. "You have to live without me... you have to for my sake... I love you and I never want you to forget that,". Those were the words, the words that still ring in my ears today, the words which were her last words. "No, no, no... Dont leave me Giselle, you can't leave me now, no" those words came out almost in a hush as I knew I had lost her. There was nothing I could do, my angel had done back to God.

Those memories still haunt me. Everytime I think of her, tears fill my eyes. "I love you too, Giselle" I tell myself every night. I hope she is happy wherever she is and hopefully she feels proud of whatever I have done and what I have yet to do. I love you Giselle. Always have and always will.


That was the essay I wrote back in Form 4, I guess I stumped the teachers. And if you have noticed the sudden bigger size of my font, its because my dear Sharlene could barely read my earlier posts, or so she said. So Sharlene now can read or not ? hehe

Christmas tree hunting

This is what happened on Friday.

I woke up around 9-ish, I ad my breakfast and all and then me and my mum went to Tesco first. I had to exchange a christmas ornament my aunt bought because it was damaged, then I looked for my new christmas tree. I found a 7 feet christmas tree worth RM130 and a 6 feet which was priced at RM100. After jotting down the details, we did a quick shopping there, buying biscuits and snacks. We went downstairs after that, and enquired about the price of the treadmill. My dad bought the cycling equipment a few months back and now he realized that its practically of no use, so he's thinking of getting a treadmill because its more useful. At last, I can work out at home, that is if I have the time to, because I'm always busy updating all of you with my life. Anyway we set off for Giant after that, we saw a christmas tree there but there was no price tag on it neither did we manage to find any other trees there, then we decided to look for the treadmill and they didn't have it there as well only some massaging machines. I then drove to Asoka, mum was hungry and she couldn't wait anymore. I had ghee tosai and nescafe tarik which was not too bad la, but I've tasted better ones. We then left for Klang Parade, because I had to return something. Ok la I'll just tell you and make it easier for you. I bought underwears which was sized L. So I went home and all and when my mum was about to wash it suddenly she noticed that among all of it there was one undie sized S. Can you imagine that, I had to drive all the way with my mum to Klang Parade to exchange it. Anyway after exchanging it, I bought a shirt that my dad wanted, not with my money of course. Then we went to the Giant downstairs. We saw a few christmas trees there, but God it was old. It looked like it was there for like 5 years and no one had bought it. We decided not to buy from there then we went into Parkson and we found 2 trees. One was 6 feet which was RM250 and the other was 7 feet which cost RM450. Freaking expensive man, me and my mum decided that we might as well just get the one from Tesco. After that we went to Aeon, to see the prices of the treadmill there, it was pretty much the same with the ones in Tesco the only difference was that the ones in Tesco were going for about a 1000 bucks less because they wanted to clear stock and all. After all this we went back home. I had about an hour's sleep and then I woke up to get ready because I was going to watch "Bolt" in Aeon. I wasnt really feeling up to it and I decided to call Ivan to see whether there was anyone else who wanted the ticket, at that time he told me no, then about 20 minutes before the movie he calls me and tells me that there is someone who wants to come, I gladly told him to let her have the ticket. At least I wouldnt miss my "lee xiao long" hehe that was basically how friday went by.

Today so far I just woke up at 7+ to go for badminton. I had breakfast with my tution teacher then I came back, had my bath and here I am now. Later on, I'll be goin for carolling and from tomorrow onwards I will be in my church camp and therefore I won't be able to update my blog.

I'll be back!!!!!!!!!

These past few days

These past few days, I have been kept busy trying to find a new christmas tree for my house. Its been ages since I've had the old christmas tree and God knows how long has it been with my family. This christmas tree is way shorter than me and that pretty much sucks, so I told my mum that we should get a new christmas tree and I'll use my own money to buy the tree. Before I go much further, let me just quickly jot down wad happened these few days.

WEDNESDAY
My parents woke up early because my mum had a check up in KL General Hospital. I woke up somewhere around 9.30. I had my breakfast and started watching cartoon. My parents gave me a call and asked me to pick them up from the mechanic because there were some problems with the car. I picked them up and then we went to Klang Parade to do some light shopping and I told my parents that I wanted to go to college for a while just to see Mr. Victor. Now, what came out from my dad's mouth I didn't expect at all. He said OK let's go see your lecturer. I was shocked but in no way did I show it. I took them to my college and they saw Mr. Victor and they left the college pretty satisfied I guess. After that, we had lunch then picked up the car then headed back home. I couldn't play football that day because I believe it was raining pretty bad... or wait did I go play that day, I cant exactly remember that was kinda how Wednesday went.

THURSDAY
I woke up around 9+ again but this time it was because I had to go out with my friends. I picked up Pravin at 12 then picked up someone else then picked up Farah. I had to make a slight detour and after all that I reached Pappa Kopitiam in Bkt Tinggi 2 around 1.45? All 5 of us had a light lunch, I think only me and Sastra ate, the rest (Farah, Audrey and Pravin) all just drank, drinks I mean, not liquor. After that, we headed to Aeon, upon reaching there Sastra said that she had to leave because her sister was all alone at home and Farah followed her back. So it was the three of us, Pravin, Audrey and me walking around Jusco trying to find christmas trees for me. We practically got bored and decided to leave for home, so I had to go to my aunty's place to take something, and in doing so managed to show Pravin how Ambang Botanic looked like. I then sent Pravin back home and went back home myself. I had a nap then continued with my daily night routine.

I cant continue with Friday. I'll write tomorrow hopefully. Parents pestering me to sleep cause I have to go for badminton tomorrow. So GOOD NIGHT PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!

Essays

Now as I promised earlier, just to give you a glimpse of how I used to write back in those high school days, I will treat all of you with some essays that I managed to salvage from the many cleaning processes of my room. Back in high school, I was renowned for always writing a love story for all my tests and exams and even all the teachers knew about it. This is one of my favourites, hope you guys enjoy it too. The title was "It was gloomy that day, rain clouds were forming above my head....." Write an essay which starts like this in not less than xxx words (I cant remember the number of words)


It was gloomy that day, rain clouds were forming above my head. Faint grumbling sounds of the thunder could be heard. It was almost as if the clouds and thunder did not want me to get out of my house. There was no one at home and having just finished my mid-year examination, I was looking forward to play football in the court in school.

It wasn't long before tiny drops of rain dropped down to the earth. I decided that it was wise to stay at home, for the rain might get heavier. Sure enough, it was raining cats and dogs and I felt a certain comfort being at home. I decided to take a nap and I fell asleep the moment my head touched the bed.

I woke up suddenly feeling a sudden discomfort, my eagle eyes searched the room and found nothing peculiar. I tip-toed my way down the steps and didn't find anything odd but yet the discomfort in my heart did not cease. Suddenly, the phone rang. I almost jumped out of my skin and quickly answered the phone. The caller introduced himself as Encik Mazlan, he told me that a man was involved in an accident. After the ambulance took him away, the caller found the victim's handphone and searching the phonebook he saw "home" and decided to call. He added that the victim was in a serious state.

I was shell-shocked, a certain wave of darkness swept through me. I asked him which hospital he was admitted into and I found out it was the hospital which was nearby the house. Having no one to send me there, I decided to cycle to the hospital. As I was cycling, a sudden emptiness came upon me as the possibility of the victim being my father became more excruciating.

I reached the hospital with my eyes full of tears, I couldn't bear the fact that my father could actually leave me. My mind raced back to the time my father first taught me how to kick a ball. I was five years old, he scolded me because I didn't kick the ball properly, as he wanted me to kick it using the inside of my feet. I realised that where I was now as the captain of the Selangor Under-18 team was all due to the times spent with my father. I had never thanked him for that.

I thought back to the last time I saw my father. He had advised me to focus on my studies and not play around. I explained that I was studying and it was because he didn't spend any time at home that he didn't see me studying. A series of arguments arose and I left him shouting at me and banged my door right at his face. That happened yesterday and today here I was trying to accept the fact that he might have actually gone.

I didn't realise where my legs were taking me, and as I looked up I found myself on the third floor. The man who called earlier said that the accident victim was in room number 50. I strode quickly and then broke into a run, 40,41, 42... "I wasn't ready to let him out of my life", 46,47,48... "Dad, I still love you, I'm sorry" these thoughts rang in my head. Where was room 50 I asked. Thinking of my father and looking at the room number, I banged into someone. I got up quickly said a quick word of sorry and was about to continue looking when I heard my name being called. I turned around, looked up and there was my father. "What are you doing here?" my father asked. I was speechless, I just looked up at him and tears filled my eyes, I ran and hugged him. "Dad, I got a phone call, the person described your car and the phone has our house number on it," I said. I couldn't hold back my tears no more, "I thought you had gone dad, I thought you were dead, I was just thinking back of all the times I had with which I have never appreciated. I thought of the times I let you down. I'm sorry, dad." I suddenly thought about the call I received, "Dad, if you are here, then who was involved in the accident?" I asked my father. "Oh, that guy. He stole my car when I got down to get some grocery items and I also left my phone in the car. I had no idea that something like this would befall him," explained my dad.

After seeing the victim and giving a police report, both father and son, MY dad and I left the hospital and went back home. I thank God that he could give me a chance to realized my mistakes and repent. I promise I will never hurt you again, dad.


This was the essay I wrote back in Form 5 for my mid-year exams if I'm not mistaken. I'll try getting more essays. Do drop some comments, thanx.
