Another day at Giant
It seems like these days, Giant has become my second home. I've been going there like 2 - 3 times every week. It seems like there's just something there for me. Yesterday, i went to one of the cafe there, just to try out their food, Walnut Cafe that's their name. It looks like high class place, but very little people there. Only 1 guy was there, when i came there. Then came the menu, the menu is just a simple laminated A4 paper. After eating i went walk around. I decided to explore places, which i never explore before. Then i saw something amazing! I saw a telescope for sale there. The focal length is 700mm!!! But the price is real killer, RM120!
Then off i go to another different place. Coincidenly, i saw one of my old classmate. She was same class with me, during Form 6. We chatted, then we left. As i was walking around, i saw another one classmate, but i didnt say hi to her or what just ran away, hahaha. Then i saw another one as well. Seems like the whole L6H can do class reunion at Giant, huh. Hahahaha! Anyway, i came to the point that, Giant is NOT cheap as what people claims to be. Yea, some products are cheap, but mostly, it's just plain expensivelah. I bought 2 packets of groundnuts, 2 box of tissues for my car (i have been searching for the right size of the box, because it can only fit in small box, and i could never find such size), small pizza (this one is a real money saver, you get that cheapskate pizzas for RM4.78 for 5!, Shapie marker pen and Cool Rhino.
Here's a video Darren shared to me, it's DragonBall the Movie. Honestly, which part of it looks like DragonBall?
I mean, other than the Dragon Ball, does the characters look like the one from DragonBall?

I Absolutely Love Her Music
Ok, i know the clip is too long, but just watch it. You dont want to miss those super high notes she's singing. Why i listen to Mariah Carey? Cause her songs (well most of them), i can relate to. Hahaha

Splinter
I don't know if i should put this as "Fail" or not, but this is just weird.
What i'm talking about? I'm talking about Splinter, the World's First . . .(get this) Wooden Supercar! In a simple term, it means, this car is equivalent to a Porche, Lamborghini and Ferrari, but it's made out of wood. Hahahahah!
Picture Sauce.
Apperantetly, this car has the capability of going 240mph (386kmh), with it's mid mounted 4.6l supercharged V8 within its composite timber body. It can pump out 700bhp!!! This is what the designer, Joe Harmon, has to say about the "Wood is a truly amazing material to work with.
For more info about the car, you can visit the designer's website.
I don't know what to say about this car, but certainly it's different from different. Wonder if anyone in Malaysia is going to buy it?

P.S. Later if accident, kasi ketuk balik with another piece of kayu.

"It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium or steel, and it possesses a versatility that makes many different types of construction techniques possible.
"The look, feel, and smell of a natural material like wood is not seen elsewhere and cannot be faked, and the satisfaction involved in making something from a piece of wood is awesome.
"This is a supercar designed to push boundaries and prove the potential of wood as a material."

Tired!
I spent from the whole afternoon, till night (around 10pm - then from 10pm till now) watching this drama. It was on 8tv few months back. It's called Ghost. I still remember few months back, when it was on tv. I didn't watch it, because either i thought it was going to be lame, or i was busy with some activities, not sure. I just watched it this afternoon on 8tv, they repeated it. It caught my attention, so i went to 8tv's website and watched the rest of the episodes there.
The Drama:
The drama is about this famous actor (Zack) in Malaysia (something like Rosyam Nor) was killed in a car crash. But he appears in front of this journalist (Eza) where she's the only one can see him, the others can't. Something like Ghost Whisperer. Zack thinks that he was murdered. So i was seeing from one episode to one, different characters appearing in each episode, and it seems that EACH one of them is somehow linked with each other, and worse they are POSSIBLY one of the murderers. The story has it's twist and turns. I was quite suprised with the graphics, despite it's not as good as those in Hollywood, but i can see it's slightly way better than normal shows. I'm not going to tell the whole story here, but if you have the time, and nothing to do like me, go and watchlah. See if you can ever find who's the murder.
The Lessons:
There are many lesson can be learned from this drama. One particular lesson i learn is racial harmony. There are different actors with different race, but when they acted the drama, it seems so normal, and i guess that's how Malaysian should be. It was nice seeing that one race person having relationship with another race person, i guess that's how harmony can be accomplished. There was this Chinese Dato' who keeps calling Zack as "Jack". . . hahaha. The drama also speaks of the world and it's ways. How people could just do anything, so that they can get what they want, and escape with it. For the girls, don't easily trust anybody easily, despite you might know them. Well, you can trustlah, but not to the extend of letting him make your drinks. Social problem is another lesson which been potrayed in the drama. People lead their everyday live just like normal people would, but only they would know of their sufferings.
The Production:
I think that the graphics were kinda ok, but it can be improved more. Sometimes certain scenes dont look "real" enough, because of the "hantu's" shadows. I think they could had avoid it, then it would look real enough. It seems like every episode, there's bound to have a Colbie Caliet song playing in the background. One more thing, is the movements of the objects. I think it's pretty cool how they make the keyboard to "type itself", items moving around.
So basiclly, that's bout it. It's a good dramalah, i suggest you to watch it, but you might lose your hair trying to figure out who's the murderer. But just a reminder, 8tv's website sometimes got problem a bit, it lags, then when you click to watch part 3, it goes back to part 1.
Anyway, today i saw this big giant beautiful fireball, too bad i didnt manage to capture it. Was kinda lazy. Hopefully, it will come again this evening.

Luck, coincidence . . . or maybe it's just Streamyx.
For these past few days, i was unable to online at all. I thought it was my dad's fault for not paying the bill on time, so i just wait. I think i didn't online for the past 2 weeks already. I was using my dad's profile on my computer and then i switched to my profile, and as usuall MSN will auto connect whenever you turn on the com, and i just signed in into MSN just like that. I was shocked, so i asked my dad, if he paid the bills, but he say he didnt. So . . . what happened?
Anyway, these days i've been pretty busy. I plan to cut down my computer time little by little. I'm playing Need For Speed: Most Wanted now, thanks to James. So far, i have beaten about 14 boss, and left 3 more to go. The last night's boss JV is one hard one, i nearly gave up. How do i cut down my computer time then? I defeat one boss per day, and that's it. That's the target i set for myself, so that i'm not too hooked up with the game.
I'm still waiting reply from Air Asia, but since it's been 22 days, since i last apply, i think i'll apply somewhere else. Other than that, i think my photography had gone down. These days, i hardly use my camera for anything. If i have the time and money, and if i am free one the 26th of January, i'll go for this.
Oh~ and there's a new Giant supermarket open at Putra Heights. So i dont have to go to Tesco now. So far i went there twice. I still remember seeing it even before it was built. Can't belive time pass by so fast. First day, many kiasu Malaysians went there, until no more parking available despite the 600 parkings. Most of the people who use trolley there werent polite enough, they simply push people with their trolley and block the way. I went there the day before yesterday, it was goodlah compare to the first day.
So basiclly that's the only update i can give now. I don't know if the internet is going to stay like this or going to crash soon, so baik i cabut and post this firstlah. I just saw this video few days ago in the news, and i thought of posting here, just in case you didn't see it. It's funny, i tell you.

2009
I know it's kinda late right now for me to post this up, but nevertheless, i think i should still post up my goals, so that y'all might know what i'm up to.
I'm not going to make my typical resolution this year (which is to lose weight), cause i was never close to achive it. I think this year, it's more of a goal, rather than resolutions. One of my big resolutions this year is to put God the center of my life, let Him be the president of my life. I realised i didnt go anywhere in 2008, because i thought i can do something in my life by myself, and not relying on Him. But i was wrong. I am weak, and if i do things by myself, i wont never do it right. My 2nd goal is to get a job soon, and do my best in it. In the same time, i dont want my job to tie my neck. Which brings me to my next goal, which is to serve in church more. Possibly opening myself to new ministries as well. 2008, and the previous year (2007), i got the chance to serve in Drama Ministry, and i really appreciate the chance given by Him to serve in that ministry. Some ministry which probably, i want to get myself into more is Transport. Again, 2008 was the year, i finally manage to "conquer" the mighty White Van! I can't belive i used to be in that van for the first time, i came to SAGC, and 4 years later, i'll be driving it! Hahahaha.
New ministries, i will be into would be Music ministry. It's time to put my 4 years learning into it, but i have to have the concious mind, that i AM doing this to SERVE God, instead of bringing glory and honour to myself. Time for my Sting to do it's job. Photography is another ministry which i want to serve in too. I'm going to use my camera for good use (not that i used it in any bad ways, though) to snap for events in church. Which i remember Uncle Dexter (my pastor) joked that we should one day make a Photographers Day, where we submit our cameras and it will be prayed so it will be used for good, hahahaha!
For my job, i guess i want to be the best employee that i can be. I know it's going to be a hard job for me, but yea, i have to do it somehow, and not to fear of anything. I also want to change my attitude for the good, for staters, i need to be punctual. I realised these days (actually more like months), i have been coming late for so many events, meetings, and picking people to church. If i were to be in transport ministry, then i have to change myself, and respect people's time. Also, i pray for maturity, cause i think i lack of it. I laugh and joke a lot, which is not good at times. I also pray that i will start giving. Giving in what i can give and not being stingy with it. Also to be a forgiving person as well.
So basicly that's my goal for the 2009. I pray that i can archive it. It might take some time, but it's going to worth it! Anyway, i went to Air Asia to apply for job, and i think i might saw the suitable job till i realised i . . .
PHAILED!

Ampang Balik!
I was thinking of updating my blog with the typical "goodbye 2008, hello 2009" post, but then. . . it's OK, ill update it some other time. Anyway, i had a great day today, great in a sense great, and "great" as well. Yesterday (Thursday), we plan to go sightseeing at Ampang Look Out Point. Well, it's Ivan's idea. I had never been there, neither to Ampang, and from what i heard from him, it sounds kinda far away from my place. So we plan to go. Kinda funny how we plan to go, then cancel, then plan to go again, then cancel again, then go again. Finally we make up, we're going to go for it. Colin Gan followed us as well, so the more, the merrier.
So i picked Ivan, Colin and Kelvin Yee from Taman Bunga Negara, Alam Megah and headed to our destination. To cut story short, we LOST! We enter here there but still we're not even reaching our destination. Then at one time, we went the same toll twice. Oh! i did drive inside SMART Tunnel for the first time in my life! It's kinda err. . . modern tunnel. When i went inside, i saw this 2 big fans there (Wikipedia says that the fan is meant to recirculate the air inside the tunnel, as well as to extraction of exhaust fumes), then it's like a long stretchlah. After like few minutes driving inside the tunnel, we came out. I just hoped the toll will reach bout less than RM10, because i never drive there before, and i heard the toll is pretty expensive. It came RM2, pretty oklah i guess.
We've been driving for like, 1 hour plus, and going aimlessly, and yet not arrived to our destination. I wanted to give up, i kept on driving and driving, simply shoot directions. Then Ivan wants to go to toilet, so we stopped at a Esso station. After he had done his business, i told him to ask for directions, he asked. Rupa-rupanya, we're quite near to Jalan Hulu Langat, THANK GOD! So we turn back, pusing here there, then go to the next road, which leads to a toll, and to Jalan Hulu Langat. During driving time, i saw many accidents, quite terrifying seeing all those cars smashed, and lost the mood of going. Anyway, we lost again, and we asked for directions, and we made it to the hillside. It was pitch black, super black. So we kept on going and going, till we came to our destination. Paid parking RM2, then when up this steep hill, can't believe my car can actually climb on top, ahahaha! Reached the top, waited for parking so long, couldn't find any, and the time is 11:36pm. By 12am, something, the KLCC lights will be off. We park below, and walk up towards the tower. Penat gilelah, i tell you. It's was so steep. Finally made it to the top with little breath to spare.
Whipped out my camera, and terus aim and shoot!
My camera couldn't capture most of the light, because of the distance and also the setting. After i saw the first few shots, i switched to Manual, and set the ISO and the Long Shutter :P
Great Scott, it works! I used to mess with the Long Shutter, and the results were horrible, why? Because the pictures turns out white. I used to think Long Shutter is actually Shutter. After few experimenting, checking online and asking people, i finally knew what was the Long Shutter for. It's used for times when there's lack of light, and you can't use flash to get that "light". Flash gives flash, and light gives light. So i decided to use this technique to obtain a good picture. Believe it or not, all this shots were taken only by my Powershot A470! But, it's really hard to obtain shots like this. Because i had to place the camera on a tripod and wait till it focuses and wait about roughly 15 seconds depending on the Long Shutter setting, and make sure NO any SLIGHT movement AT ALL, or else it will turn out like the shot below. . .
I was testing out, if my camera could zoom in to snap the Petronas Twin Towers, since Long Shutter mood needs to use tripod, accidentally my tripod moved a little bit, and this is how it turned out.
Speaking of zoom, this is a decent picture after zoom. It didn't lose much details, since it was on Optical Zoom. If you notice, the picture is slightly uneven, it's because of the tripod, the tower we're on, is very dark, and i couldn't set the tripod on centre.
Experimenting with Long Shutter, ISO and camera's location.
Going back home. Colin is sitting behind Ivan, so you can't see him. Going back home was a breeze, as we go back home by highway, and it' was such a nice journey back, without any jam or confusing roads. Will i go back there again? Certainly, but with more money, and more people.

I was thinking of updating my blog with the typical "goodbye 2008, hello 2009" post, but then. . . it's OK, ill update it some other time. Anyway, i had a great day today, great in a sense great, and "great" as well. Yesterday (Thursday), we plan to go sightseeing at Ampang Look Out Point. Well, it's Ivan's idea. I had never been there, neither to Ampang, and from what i heard from him, it sounds kinda far away from my place. So we plan to go. Kinda funny how we plan to go, then cancel, then plan to go again, then cancel again, then go again. Finally we make up, we're going to go for it. Colin Gan followed us as well, so the more, the merrier.
So i picked Ivan, Colin and Kelvin Yee from Taman Bunga Negara, Alam Megah and headed to our destination. To cut story short, we LOST! We enter here there but still we're not even reaching our destination. Then at one time, we went the same toll twice. Oh! i did drive inside SMART Tunnel for the first time in my life! It's kinda err. . . modern tunnel.

Yesterday
Yesterday's worship was good. Ok, here goes the story of why i choose a song which no one knows. Before i came out, I've had 2 songs. Since the theme was about, thanking God for his grace and mercies, so both songs got to do with thanking. Then i came out, and when i open my book to say out the first song, i lost it. The song was not there anymore. Then i looked at one song, which has almost same meaning of thanking, "it goes i thank you Jesus, something something". I requested that, and another song. Turns out, no one knows to sing the song. So yea, shylah. Then later during breakfast time, people asked me why i choose a song, which i don't know, so i explained my reasons. Another case was, when i requested There's Something About That Name. I know this song long ago, it's a beautiful song, try to listen to There's Something About That Name by Christ For The Nations Institute.
Then after that, i went around tables and ask people to sing Happy Birthday song for Nicholas. Then i begin the countdown and sang, too bad not much people noticed, hahahaha. Probably, he's not famous yet, hahaha. Anyway, there were 3 other celebrations there, Joshua Lai, Emelyn and lastly our own Unker Dexter!!! After that, some of us plans to go watch movie and bowling, because when i plan futsal, not much people wants to join in. Off to Summit, the turnout was huge, i just told to some people, and yet the were others came as well. Since we came there late, there wasn't enough time to watch movie, so therefore we went play bowling. I thought since Isaac is not here, i got chance to win. But since Sarah's there, i know that she will win, i must not lose to her. We played 2 games, i was the 2nd lowest, lower than me is Nicholas. My true powah unleashed during the 2nd game, but it came later than i expected. Anyway, it's one good gamelah.
Then we went for short makan and minum time. Then next some of them went windows shopping at Salvation. Then i left early. I came home from Summit, then i went inside Fitri's car, went to Sunway Pyramid. It was good Fareez joined us as well. Fitri needs to buy some clothes, so that's why we went to Pyramid. But we headed to cinema first to watch movie. Since we came there about 6:30pm, most of the movies were in 11:30pm, or 9 something. Fareez wants to watch Spirit. I planned to watch Cicakman, because i wanted to watch that movie, since it just came out, and Cicakman 1 was kinda above average to watch, that is for melah. Then i saw something, and i said to them, "Let's watch Yes man!". Hahahaha! I told them, i had watched the movie before, and i wanted to watch again, and they will not regret watching it for sure. It was kinda hard to persuade them, because they think it's not fair for me, since I've watched it, then i might not enjoy it. We agreed to watch the movie, and Fitri paid the tickets, paid as in (belanjalah). Then we went to the cinema. At first, we sat at this "R" row. We sat and sat for sometime, then after bout 20 minutes later, some lady came, and said "Excuse me, this is our place". Turns out our place is in the "P" row. Then we quickly changed place. I was so shy, man!
Anyway, movie was good, and it ended around 9 something. Then we went to Jusco, there was big sale going on there. Fitri wants to buy some office wear. While he was choosing his clothings, i saw some good stuffs there. I went and try this super cool executive long sleeve, but i cannot wear it, i don't dare post any pictures here. Then i asked the salesman, where can i find for big size clothing, he said i can find it at Suave. Suave i go. There were some XXL size there, so it was goodlah, then i saw one nice one. So i took it and wear it. I can wear it but . . . . my stomach was so big, that the shirt button was about to rip off any moment.
x.jpg)
There wasn't any wrinkle before i wore it, and you can see the after effects. For a moment, sadness filled in my mind, i saw other people manage to buy nice clothing, and yet only i can't find one good long sleeves shirt. I emo-ed. Then after playing for Fitri's stuffs, we wanted to go out of Jusco, then i told them, to wait first, and i just walk around and see if there is still any shops selling big shirts. Then i walked and walked look around. Then i came to D'Urban shop. While i was looking looking, then a lady came, and i asked if there was any size for me, she said she will ask, then we followed her. Came to another part of different shop, i think it's Polo i cant remember. Then there another lady showed me a shirt, and asked me to try it on. I tried, and it fits perfectly!!!
x.jpg)
No the white colour thing, is not church camp name tag. It is the price tag which made me go 'WWWWOOOOOOOOO"!!!!. The price is RM119!!! So i thought got discount, so i asked her, she said "No, it's not under discount". Sadly i walked away. Then we went and buy slippers, not melah, but Fitri. Then i suggested we go check out Converse shop. They have wide range of shoes there (actually, it's the same shoe designs therelah, but different price). Then i asked for Size 12, and one of the guy said they have it, but the design is limited. So i went and see the designs, my goodness it's all looked the same to me.It's either it's longer above, or the normal shoe shape. The prices ranges from RM99 to RM100 somethinglah. Then i saw this ugly Black Sabbath series, hahaha. It's really ugly, it's black and purple, and it looks like the it's corroded. hahaha.
So basically, that's my daylah. Since i was so tired, went out of house for 12 hours plus, i couldn't blog about this yesterday.

December.
Alright, i don't know where and how to begin. Anyway, this is going to be a long post. So just read till wherever you can read, then come back and continue the last part you have read. Hahahaha.
WARNING: Words Overload! Words Overload! Words Overload!
I've celebrated Christmas in SAGC (my current church) for 4 years. Things over in SAGC is way different how i celebrated Christmas in my old church. During every year's carolling, at the end of the carolling (which means last house), people will give present. I felt it was strange for the first few years. So i made myself a promise, this year i had to give. But i don't know where and how to start. Few weeks before Christmas, i asked my CG assistant, Elaine if the CG is doing anything for Christmas. She said "no, but we could try ask aroundlah". Then i emailed my CG members, because since i don't know where to start, i think roughly my CG members would be able to help out. Then i got a message from Elena. She said she's willing to put in some money for the "project". Then later, Yvonne online. I asked if she's willing to join in. She suggested to me, to buy key chains, which costs RM1.50. So i thought, it would be a problem then. The next day, i got a suggestion from Mei Yoon. She suggested to use RM1 note and make heart shape with it. For me, i think it was something different to give, and i emailed it to the rest of the group. Few replied back, and we went on with the "project".
24th of December!
My brother and i went to church early, to do up the "project" with Ivan. With God's help, Aunty Saw Chan (Uncle Dexter's wife) and Sam (their son), were there to help out. We manage to finish before time. After putting in the notes into a small plastic bag, sponsored by Ivan (Thank You!), and stapplering the note onto the plastic. I manage to do in time, and i went to pick up Aaron and Nicholas from their home. I came back to church, took bath, and got ready for Carolling. We had practises, and then we headed to the first home, James' and David Lim's home. Food there was delicious. So delicious, i think terus kosong already the dishes. The next home is my pastor's home, Uncle Voon Siong. Hahaha, this time it's kinda funny, because of rush of time, we sang, we ate, and we ran (Jason Mraz album). I still remember, Shane took this plastic bowl, and wanted to eat Ice Kacang. But since we had to go, he only brought the bowl, with shaved ice only, nothing else. Hahahaha. Next house is Uncle William's house. It was greatlah, because the amount of family/relatives/friends/neighbours were more than last hear, just hoped that the able to get the message of Christmas. The next house is Aunty Josephine's house, it was far away, first time i went to USJ 1. From their house, we went to the last house, Teoh and Elaine's house. I guess we had lots of fun. But i think the amount of people over the years are reducing. I still remember those days, when there were bout 6, 8 plus cars on the road. Sadly many people didn't attend this year's carolling, hope that they could join in next year. Quite happy that this year, the Carolling ended at Putra Heights, which is so near to my home. So i able to get good sleep in time. Thank you to the hosts for providing the dinners and tolerating with us, hahaha. Thank God too for safety of the drivers and passengers.
25th of December!
It's Christmas!!! Anyway, i woke up and got ready went to bus stop to pick Darren up, went to church early for final preparation for the Christmas Drama (will blog bout it in a while). So went there, do the warm up, got ready, changed my clothes and waited. Then the moment arrived, we went to back stage and before you know it, the drama started. In my mind, i thought "This is my last performance, and i have to do my best". So i went out and did my best. I don't know what do people think, or if they can hear me, but i really hope the get the message. After that was message by Uncle Dexter. No matter how many times i have heard his message, i still always have something new to learn about. It was a good message. Then lunch time, my church has the best cooks in Malaysialah, superb turkey man! I ate 4 black pepper turkey (when i say turkey, i meant slices, not the whole). After that, went to cybercafe and played CS. Both Chander and me, nicely "belasah", Aaron and Satishlah. You guys should look at how tension Aaron was, hahahaha. Went back home, and slept. Woke up at night, and was watching tv. How sad is my Christmas nightlah? It was that horrible, that i was watching RTM2, since all other channel show lousy show on Christmas night. Ate food from Kampungku and slept.
26th of December!
The day was great, as we ( the drama team went out for lunch at Sunway Pyramid). We were deciding where to eat, then someone suggested Teh Manhattan Fish Market. It was my first time there, because i don't go to restaurants like this, hahaha. I did passed by the restaurant many times before this, but didn't went inside, It was one of those high class restaurant, where you need to bring at least RM1k to enjoy the foods there. I have to say, that we actually waited quite long for our food to reach. They should have served ice-cream or something like that, while we waited. Drinks over there also expensive, RM5.90 for canned drinks, their "special" mineral water, Fish Market Mineral Water is RM2.90. Sadly, it was the last time, we saw the cast from Bandar Sunway, but hopefully the friendship between Bandar Sunway, and Shah Alam Gospel Centre will be strengthen. Oh! the bill came total about RM316. Discount 10%, so came to RM280 something. The 9 of us paid RM10, and Teoh paid the rest. Thank You Teoh! 26th of December also meant something to me, it was my parent's anniversary, so it' was suppose to be their 23th anniversary. . .
The Drama Team!
It all begin early October, when i got an sms from Teoh, if i wanted to participate in the church drama. I got real excited bout it. Then came the news, we'll be joining with Bandar Sunway. During the few weeks of the drama, things weren't going well. But over the time, things changed. Our first performance was in Bandar Sunway, Elena said we did a good job there. Next was in SAGC. Anyway, i want to take this time to thank Elena for considering me in the drama, despite my little experience in drama and also my attitude of always playing the fool, nevertheless she still took me to act in this drama, without looking at my experience or other reasons. Also there were times, i did upset her, by not being serious or doing my best. So thank you Elena for the chance you gave me, and sorry if i had ever hurt you during the whole production of the drama. Also i want to thank Teoh, for giving me the opportunity as well to serve in this drama. Thanks for becoming the lighting man, despite you had to play drum for both days. Thank you too Gary, for his willingness to serve in the drama team, despite he didn't manage to do so. Lastly, thank you to the fellow actors, James (Artaban), Kevin (Seigfrid), Kok Seng (Soldier), Man Ling (Mother), Darren (Husband), Mei Yoon ( Wife), Brandon (Man), and err. . . to the voice too (cant recall his name), thanks for serving the Lord with all your hearts, and strength, and please forgive me, if i had say the wrong things or do anything wrong throughout the whole drama time. Aahh. . . feels so chasm (as how Darren would put it), after the whole 3 months of practise is over, it's indeed a good thing.
Anyway, the drama is about this guy Artaban, assumed to be the 4th wise man. He was late to meet up with his friends, so he had to go on with his journey to find Baby Jesus, with his loyal servant, Seigfrid. They saw many people in trouble, like the mother who was running away from a soldier, who tried to kill her baby, a beggar who lost his arm, his home and his youngest child, and now he had to find food for his 3 children and a couple who's baby is sick, and they tried to find ways to go to Egytp to see a specialist, but they had no money to do so. Artaban was keeping a diamond, a ruby and a sapphire to give to Baby Jesus to serve him, but he had to give them all away to this poor people, because he felt it would be able to help them. Disappointed, after 33 years of searching Jesus, he met a man, while he was travelling, and the man said that the Jesus he's searching for, had been crucified on the cross. In the end, the Lord spoke to him, that he indeed served Him by helping those in need, referring to the people above. Supposing Artaban died, because of sickness at the end of the drama, but i don't know if James "died-ed" or notlah. This beautiful script was written by, Curt M. Joseph. For me, it did showed me, that all of us Christians have the gift to help out others, and there were ways of which we could help people out, also there are times as well God gives tests us to help people out.

The next house is Aunty Josephine's house, it was far away, first time i went to USJ 1. From their house, we went to the last house, Teoh and Elaine's house. I guess we had lots of fun. But i think the amount of people over the years are reducing. I still remember those days, when there were bout 6, 8 plus cars on the road. Sadly many people didn't attend this year's carolling, hope that they could join in next year. Quite happy that this year, the Carolling ended at Putra Heights, which is so near to my home. So i able to get good sleep in time. Thank you to the hosts for providing the dinners and tolerating with us, hahaha. Thank God too for safety of the drivers and passengers.
25th of December!
It's Christmas!!! Anyway, i woke up and got ready went to bus stop to pick Darren up, went to church early for final preparation for the Christmas Drama (will blog bout it in a while). So went there, do the warm up, got ready, changed my clothes and waited. Then the moment arrived, we went to back stage and before you know it, the drama started. In my mind, i thought "This is my last performance, and i have to do my best". So i went out and did my best. I don't know what do people think, or if they can hear me, but i really hope the get the message. After that was message by Uncle Dexter. No matter how many times i have heard his message, i still always have something new to learn about. It was a good message. Then lunch time, my church has the best cooks in Malaysialah, superb turkey man! I ate 4 black pepper turkey (when i say turkey, i meant slices, not the whole). After that, went to cybercafe and played CS. Both Chander and me, nicely "belasah", Aaron and Satishlah. You guys should look at how tension Aaron was, hahahaha. Went back home, and slept. Woke up at night, and was watching tv. How sad is my Christmas nightlah? It was that horrible, that i was watching RTM2, since all other channel show lousy show on Christmas night. Ate food from Kampungku and slept.
26th of December!
The day was great, as we ( the drama team went out for lunch at Sunway Pyramid). We were deciding where to eat, then someone suggested Teh Manhattan Fish Market. It was my first time there, because i don't go to restaurants like this, hahaha. I did passed by the restaurant many times before this, but didn't went inside, It was one of those high class restaurant, where you need to bring at least RM1k to enjoy the foods there. I have to say, that we actually waited quite long for our food to reach. They should have served ice-cream or something like that, while we waited. Drinks over there also expensive, RM5.90 for canned drinks, their "special" mineral water, Fish Market Mineral Water is RM2.90. Sadly, it was the last time, we saw the cast from Bandar Sunway, but hopefully the friendship between Bandar Sunway, and Shah Alam Gospel Centre will be strengthen. Oh! the bill came total about RM316. Discount 10%, so came to RM280 something. The 9 of us paid RM10, and Teoh paid the rest. Thank You Teoh! 26th of December also meant something to me, it was my parent's anniversary, so it' was suppose to be their 23th anniversary. . .
The Drama Team!
It all begin early October, when i got an sms from Teoh, if i wanted to participate in the church drama. I got real excited bout it. Then came the news, we'll be joining with Bandar Sunway. During the few weeks of the drama, things weren't going well. But over the time, things changed. Our first performance was in Bandar Sunway, Elena said we did a good job there. Next was in SAGC. Anyway, i want to take this time to thank Elena for considering me in the drama, despite my little experience in drama and also my attitude of always playing the fool, nevertheless she still took me to act in this drama, without looking at my experience or other reasons. Also there were times, i did upset her, by not being serious or doing my best. So thank you Elena for the chance you gave me, and sorry if i had ever hurt you during the whole production of the drama. Also i want to thank Teoh, for giving me the opportunity as well to serve in this drama. Thanks for becoming the lighting man, despite you had to play drum for both days. Thank you too Gary, for his willingness to serve in the drama team, despite he didn't manage to do so. Lastly, thank you to the fellow actors, James (Artaban), Kevin (Seigfrid), Kok Seng (Soldier), Man Ling (Mother), Darren (Husband), Mei Yoon ( Wife), Brandon (Man), and err. . . to the voice too (cant recall his name), thanks for serving the Lord with all your hearts, and strength, and please forgive me, if i had say the wrong things or do anything wrong throughout the whole drama time. Aahh. . . feels so chasm (as how Darren would put it), after the whole 3 months of practise is over, it's indeed a good thing.
Anyway, the drama is about this guy Artaban, assumed to be the 4th wise man. He was late to meet up with his friends, so he had to go on with his journey to find Baby Jesus, with his loyal servant, Seigfrid. They saw many people in trouble, like the mother who was running away from a soldier, who tried to kill her baby, a beggar who lost his arm, his home and his youngest child, and now he had to find food for his 3 children and a couple who's baby is sick, and they tried to find ways to go to Egytp to see a specialist, but they had no money to do so. Artaban was keeping a diamond, a ruby and a sapphire to give to Baby Jesus to serve him, but he had to give them all away to this poor people, because he felt it would be able to help them. Disappointed, after 33 years of searching Jesus, he met a man, while he was travelling, and the man said that the Jesus he's searching for, had been crucified on the cross. In the end, the Lord spoke to him, that he indeed served Him by helping those in need, referring to the people above. Supposing Artaban died, because of sickness at the end of the drama, but i don't know if James "died-ed" or notlah. This beautiful script was written by, Curt M. Joseph. For me, it did showed me, that all of us Christians have the gift to help out others, and there were ways of which we could help people out, also there are times as well God gives tests us to help people out.

What A Day!
(This event took place yesterday, Thursday 18th of December)
I took a break and went out yesterday with few friends to watch movie. Edwin Tay, came up all the way from J.B. and so i thought to bring him out just go lepak around. Since it was a holiday season, many people are not available, some had went for camps, others are busy. So it was hard finding for people to come along. One of those who could come along is Chander, so that makes 3 of us. It's kinda little, but hey it's something better than nothing, right. So as i was driving to Summit, using the back way, i was on the left lane, and i saw something immediately on the right lane. It was the new Honda City!!! Yea, today (Friday 19th of December) is the official launch, and i saw it a day before, hahahaha.
By the way, it's way more pricey than the previous models. . .
Anyway, while waiting at the traffic light, i received an smsed from Andrew. He says both he and Isaac could join us if we plan to watch movie at 4:30pm. It was around 1:40pm somethinglah, so i replied ok. So that makes 5 of us. Then i smsed Babeng, "Joker next to me got the new City, black colour some more!". Then we reached Summit at last. Went up to GSC, and about to buy tickets for the movie, when Andrew smsed and told that Darren,Lee Xiang, Isaac, Beans and himself are coming as well. So altogether there is 8 people already!! From 3 becomes 8! Then when we're bout to buy the tickets, Oh! we're watching YesMan. Andrew smsed and says that Lee Xiang is not coming. So altogether 7 tickets. The guy who works at the ticket counter, is our friend. His name is Sanjay, and he comes to play captain ball with us most of the time. So we get "Student Rate" despite I'm not a studentlah, of course. So we checked for the seats, and so on. RM42 i paid. Then we got our ticket. Then when we're bout to go down for lunch, we got another sms from Darren. It says " Sorry, Lee Xiang is coming". So we went back to the ticket counter and bout to buy another one. Suddenly, Edwin realised that, the first batch of tickets we bought could be the 2:10pm one. We wanted to watch the 4:20pm show, instead of 2:10pm. So i gave Edwin the tickets, and he checked, it was indeed the the 2:10pm one. KANTOI!!!
So i told to Sanjay, and he told he can't do anything, because once printed, then considered sold. 7 tickets of different time with us, what are we going to do with it!! Then Sanjay took the tickets and went and see his boss. After few minutes he came back, and said that the tickets cannot be returned back. After much talk with him, it's all wasted. Then he started asking people if they wanted to watch Yes Man or not. One couple said they wanted to watch, then he gave them 2 tickets, and took money from them. So now left 5 tickets. It's still lot of tickets, considering one ticket is RM6 x 5 = RM30! He asked us to watch the show first since it was 2:09pm to avoid the waste, then later buy another new batch, and watch again. But we reluctant. So in the end, we bought another 8 tickets. As we're walking down to McD's for lunch, i told the guys, that I'll take all the loss of the 5 tickets, because it was my mistake, didn't check the time. But, of those guys were kind enough, to share me some of their money to cover up the loss. Btw, the McD at Summit such a lousy placelah. The fries already salted, so it's not that nice when we dip it with additional salt and pepper. The Coke tastes more like water, plain water with a bit of soda.
Then at McD, something funny happened. I received back the sms from Babeng, "Ada cun, how much?" (See my sms, above, first paragraph). Since i was in confused mind that time, i looked at the word "A" - as in his name is Adrian, and the word "cun". So i thought it was Andrew, since his name too starts with an "A" and he uses the word "cun" lots of times. So i replied back to him, "Oklah not so cun (was trying to say. not oklah when buying the tickets). . . Anyway, ticket price is RM6. . .". The fella never replied back. Then i got another sms, then when i look at the Inbox, i saw the message that Babeng sent to me, the name there was Adrian. Then i realised i sent wrong message, so i laughed out. Isaac came and meet us at McD. He heard the ticket buying story and he willing to sumbangkan derma bout RM10 to cover up the loss as well. I gave him one of the 5 tickets (the 2:10pm) as souvenir, i even give him the choice to choose which seat which he wants. When i see this situation, i told them an idea. I told, " Hey guys, i got an idea. When the rest of them comes, we give them the 2:10pm tickets. The 4:20pm tickets we sell off. Ok or not?" Since they were all good people, they objected the idea. Then the 4 of us, went for bowling. After a while the rest came. Of course the winner of the bowling would be who else but not m. . . . Isaac! I got second place, thanks to Andrew's throwing that got Strike, and Ivan's throwing that got Spare. Edwin was third, and Chander last, hahahaha. Then we went to this basketball game machine nearby and played there. After the game over, where the machine will block the basketballs from coming out, i went inside the machine, where the thing "holding" the balls from coming out, and i pull out one by one out by using my hand, and shoot in the loop. This is what Nicholas choo do whenever time's up. I kept on doing that again and again. Then Darren followed too. Then i quickly grab his legs and sumbat him inside the machine. Then the rest, Beans and the rest stuffed him inside. Chander tickles him by his belly, hahahaa you should have seen itlah.
Then we went to watch the movie, it was such a good movie. We laughed a lot during every scene of the movie, except for the sad partslah of course. The movie was such a good movie, that
I want to watch it all over again. I wikipedia-ed the movie, and it appears that the writer of the story, actually wanted to say Yes to everything. How i wish i met him before, so i can tell him to give me all his money and he will say Yes, hahahaha!!! After movie we went walking around Summitlah. Later on, Darren, Lee Xiang and Beans went back home. The rest of us went to Mamak and eatlah. After dinner, i plan to follow Isaac and Ivan go to Digital Mall. So when i was going down the by the escalator, i saw the parking machine, but i choose not to pay for my ticket there, instead ill pay at the exit, because i parked my car from 1:40pm something to 7pm something, so i thought ill have to pay bout RM6 or 7. Then i drove my car to the Manual Paying at the exit, just to find it close. So i went drove a outside of the Manual Paying, and parked my car outside, nearby the exit and walk all the way back into Summit. Went back to the machine i spotted earlier, put my card in, and was shocked just to find, the amount i have to pay is. . . RM2.50! Super duper cheap! Thanks Lord! I paid and left.
I was suppose to meet up with Isaac at the Shell station near Summit, because i tumpang his car. So i came there and parked my car and waited for him. He called and ask where was i, and i replied at Shell Stations, he said ok and he will be there in 4 minutes time, and i say ok, and hang up. Then i waited. Then he calls back 5 minutes later and told he's at the Shell compound already. I looked and looked for him, and i cant see him. Then all of a sudden, i just swing my head, like those models do in the shampoo advertisement, and to my disbelieve, i saw another Shell, just in front of Summit! Then i told him, i was at another Shell, and ill drive there. So i start my car back, and drove to that Shell. Then i saw him there, i find a place for parking and went to his car. Then off our journey to Digital Mall. Once in Digital Mall, i saw many gadgets which is nice and *Christmas is coming* thought how thought of if any of my readers who is reading this would buy anything from there for me.
So we're there to buy bunch of CD-Rs for the camp pictures and videos. Also to buy few cartridges for someone's printer. After that we head home. It was a good day indeed for me. I learnt a lot from the day's experience, such as If you go to a cinema, make sure you know someone who works there to get Student's price! Any of y'all plan to go to GSC Summit, look for a guy call Sanjay, and tell him, you're friend of Melvin. He knows me one. Anyway, thanks to everyone, Edwin, Chander, Isaac, Andrew, Ivan, Darren, Lee Xiang and Beans for coming as well, and make yesterday's movie thing, more than just a movie watching session, it was great.
I can shorten up this whole post, but then there's funny things happened, so it's worth sharing, right?

P.S.I'm up again to watch the same movie. . . who's coming along?

Windows Live Messenger Beta Review (EDITED)
Hey guys, the new Windows Live Messenger Beta is out now! I've downloaded it this morning, and I've install it. As usual there's some improvement over the old one (obviously), and there are some cool functions which i like in this new Messenger.
This is the NEW "face" of the Windows Live Messenger Beta. As you can see that it has almost the same layout as the Windows Vista. By the way, i blacked out my contact's name, personal message and their avatars for their privacy. Anyway, you might ask why there are green, red and orange boxes there? Good question. It's the avatar box, where your avatar will be there, and the colours are actually the status. Green means Available, Red means Busy and Orange means Away (there is white, which only you yourself will be able to see, it means Appear Offline). You can set those who is Online to appear in your contact list, so it wont look like it's packed also it will be easier for you to navigate to other groups as wel. Below the contact's list, there's this thing call What's New. It's shows updates on your contacts, like they have changed their avatars, or their new personal message. You can click at their name, and go to their page, where their previous personal messages can be read there. You can leave a note too.
One of the functions which still remains in the NEW WLM is the themes. You can change them. But notice the red arrow? It looks like a "pull out" so you just click there, and it opens to the themes menu. My choice of theme is this purple theme, which i think it's kinda cool and i just love the colour. I'll search for some Christmas ones soon.
There are the some themes which were already there, but the problem with the themes are that the headers are kinda "pixel-ish". It looks like the header had been stretched. Also the background of your contacts, still remains white, which is same as the old messenger. It's boring.
When you go to Options, you will notice a new tab. It's the Layout tab. I think this new setting is super cool. Where you can choose the size of your contacts avatars. For me, i think it looks much more colourful, unlike last time, where everybody was the green logo only.
Then another tab which had been changed is the Sounds Tab. You can set the sound of the different parts of the Messenger with the preloaded sounds, or your own, or simply mute it.
These are the preloaded sounds. To be honest, the sounds are pretty lousy and don't make sense at all. Some of the sounds are either not suitable, for some of the Messenger's function, and the length of the sound. For example, i were to use the Cafe in Paris sound for my contacts when they come online, it might not be suitable. Or if i used the Driving Bass sound, it's too long. When one contact comes online, then it sounds, then when another one shows up, it sounds again and again and again. So yea, it's not that suitable. But. . .
You can MUTE the Nudge sound. So now, you don't have to listen to that annoying sound anymore.
This is the conversation window. As you can see, it's kinda messy, because i had to blacked the conversation. When in one minute time, and you keep on typing and press enter, it will be in point form. I guess, so that it will be easier to read and neat. For me, i think this is kinda creative idea. Also i think the avatar box is a bit bigger than the previous ones.
EDITED - One more thing i noticed about this new WLM, is that you can set your own sound to be heard on another person's computer. Example, if the A is using the new WLM, then he sets his sound when he onlines to a car revving sound, then when B is using the new WLM and when A logs in, B can hear the sound A chooses, the car revving sound. So now B knows who had onlined.
Well that was my review of the NEW WLM. I think there's room of improvement, and i think this is one of the best WLM versions ever!

Green means Available, Red means Busy and Orange means Away (there is white, which only you yourself will be able to see, it means Appear Offline). You can set those who is Online to appear in your contact list, so it wont look like it's packed also it will be easier for you to navigate to other groups as wel. Below the contact's list, there's this thing call What's New. It's shows updates on your contacts, like they have changed their avatars, or their new personal message. You can click at their name, and go to their page, where their previous personal messages can be read there. You can leave a note too.
One of the functions which still remains in the NEW WLM is the themes. You can change them. But notice the red arrow? It looks like a "pull out" so you just click there, and it opens to the themes menu. My choice of theme is this purple theme, which i think it's kinda cool and i just love the colour. I'll search for some Christmas ones soon.
There are the some themes which were already there, but the problem with the themes are that the headers are kinda "pixel-ish". It looks like the header had been stretched. Also the background of your contacts, still remains white, which is same as the old messenger. It's boring.
When you go to Options, you will notice a new tab. It's the Layout tab. I think this new setting is super cool. Where you can choose the size of your contacts avatars. For me, i think it looks much more colourful, unlike last time, where everybody was the green logo only.
Then another tab which had been changed is the Sounds Tab. You can set the sound of the different parts of the Messenger with the preloaded sounds, or your own, or simply mute it.
These are the preloaded sounds. To be honest, the sounds are pretty lousy and don't make sense at all. Some of the sounds are either not suitable, for some of the Messenger's function, and the length of the sound. For example, i were to use the Cafe in Paris sound for my contacts when they come online, it might not be suitable. Or if i used the Driving Bass sound, it's too long. When one contact comes online, then it sounds, then when another one shows up, it sounds again and again and again. So yea, it's not that suitable. But. . .
You can MUTE the Nudge sound. So now, you don't have to listen to that annoying sound anymore.
This is the conversation window. As you can see, it's kinda messy, because i had to blacked the conversation. When in one minute time, and you keep on typing and press enter, it will be in point form. I guess, so that it will be easier to read and neat. For me, i think this is kinda creative idea. Also i think the avatar box is a bit bigger than the previous ones.EDITED - One more thing i noticed about this new WLM, is that you can set your own sound to be heard on another person's computer. Example, if the A is using the new WLM, then he sets his sound when he onlines to a car revving sound, then when B is using the new WLM and when A logs in, B can hear the sound A chooses, the car revving sound. So now B knows who had onlined.
Well that was my review of the NEW WLM. I think there's room of improvement, and i think this is one of the best WLM versions ever!

So. . .
Tomorrow's camp. I don't know why, i waited for like 2 months for this camp, and now i don't feel all excited bout it. Oh! I'm talking bout Cun Camp by the way, the second one. Right now, i'm in front of my pc, watching Youtube, believe it or not! Seems like there's just few hours left for me to get my stuffs ready, and yet i'm still awake. Chances are, i'm not sleeping tonight. Let me share something, whenever, i'm going for some BIG thing, i wont get much sleep. I don't mind if i have few hours of sleep, but the irratating thing is, when i WANT to sleep, and when i CANNOT sleep. I always have insomnia (i think), where i cant sleep. I had many times. The feeling is that, you at your bed, staring at the ceiling, no matter where you turn to, you still wont be able to sleep. This goes on for hours. Then came the insomnia part. Sometimes i think i able to sleep, then for no reason, i just open my eyes, and try to sleep again, and then i wake up again. The whole process is such an irratating thing to do, man.
Anyway, i was browsing through Youtube, and found some good songs. These songs were like more than 10 years before i was born, but yet, they're awesome, i tell you! Just hear first.
KC & The SunShine Band - That's The Way I Like It (1974)
Kool and The Gang - Ladies' Night (1979)
If you're a bassist, or even a musician, you would realised both bassist playing in both of the songs, are super powderful! They gave the groove, the funk and the . . . (i got no words to explain the awesomeness) of the music!
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 88 - Tiro Cruzado and The Real Thing
I like how the singers sang in so harmonious. For the first song, i dont really know much what's the song bout, but the second song is the one i like. It's written by Stevie Wonder. Just nice, man the songs. These days some artist make music just for the sake of money, popular and so on. They no longer know what is music about.
Anyway, i just pawned Meng Xian. He thinks he's cleaver and brave. Check out the screenshot below.
Nevermind cancel that, he deleted the comments, you should have seen that, hahaha!
Right now, i want to add and remove songs from my MP3 Player, then clean my bag, then slowly pack my stuffs. Won't be onlining for bout 3 dayslah.

Kulit Baru
So i've changed my skin, justlah you know since Christmas is so near, so just changelah. I couldnt find anything else to my liking, so i had to choose this one. Waitlah, if there's much nicer one then i'll go for it. It looks more of Chinese New Year-ish theme, rather than Christmas.

It's Here!
Oh, man i can believe that it's just 22 days more to Christmas, man. You know how the feeling, that you wait for one whole year, and then when December comes, it has some Christmasy feeling. Anyway, i have been busy this whole week, so many things to do. Oh! i went to my uncle's funeral yesterday. He passed away last Sunday. Well, i didnt actually went, but i sent my dad to his sister's house at Sri Kembangan. Then i went to Jusco, hang out myself there, window shopping. It's a new mall over there, i see that there's many new shops there compare to last time, but very less people. Then i went over to Jusco, and saw all the Christmas ornaments. Cunlah, but too bad my dad wont buy it. He will use the old ones as long as they can be use, then it's ok.
I'm going to ask him to put up the Christmas tree today, if i manage to do so, then ill snap a picture and upload it here.

Just To Share
I want to share a story with y'all. Story bout my family, well not my family as in my family, but relatives actually.
One of my uncle had been admitted to Hospital recently. He's diagnosed with many sickness, i don't know what sickness he has, but i think he has cancer as well. Recently he went through operation, where some of his tissue had to cut off, i think because the cancer spread there. Wanna know what's the reason, of his sickness? He drinks and smokes!
Just to give y'all some info, my relatives consumes alcohol stuffs all the time, especially during Christmas, Deepavalli, Chinese New Year (despite it got nothing to do with them) and other time when they can get together. Not only men, but also women as well who participate. I used to remember, that during when i'm small, i used to go to my relatives (father's side) house, when Christimas, or during other normal times. Then after that, for some period of time, we stopped going there. I guess, it's cause my mother is afraid that we (me and my brother) might get influenced by them. One of my cousin, in his 30s is also heavy smoker, and he has 2 childrens. So yea. My dad on the other hand, well i can say, i thank God for my dad. He don't smoke or drink at all. So yea, i thank God for him. There were times, when we go to my relative's house, then they force my dad to drink, but he drinks bout 1 or 1/2 cans, then finish, that's it.
Just few days ago, i went to Sunway Pyramid, and hanging out at Starbucks (note, hanging out, not drinking anything) and i saw few women were smoking cigarette there. Time has moved on, where these days, woman also started smoking. I have a friend, female friend who smokes cigarette. She told me, that smoking cigarettes will make a girl more beautiful. Kinda silly, right?
Anyway, when i was walking to the parking lot, i saw some people were entering clubs. Then i passed by this tent where there had been some activities went on, a while ago, and i can smell the beer smell. When i was eating today, i saw this magazine, which the magazine held a party, some ladie's night out, and put the motto there "babes, booze and (something which i forget).
I know it's cool to smoke cigarette and drink beer, but in the end, what's the point? Others do that too, they cool, too right? So what makes you more cooler than them? Lots of indian lorry drivers also drink beer, so they are cool too, right, and since they drink more, i guess they must be much more cooler than you? Look, i'm not showing some "holy" thing here, or boasting or even "hitting" anyone here, but common sense teaches us, than beer and cigarettes are harmful to our body, so why do it? If you happen to be my friend, and reading these, you got to know that you're precious not only to me, but to everyone around you, so getting yourself into things like this, is not something good for us.
I know my blog post, wont affect much of what you're doing, but i just hope that you will know the consequences of drinking beer and smoking cigarette. Below is a video, which i hope y'all will see, how a drunk drive spoiled a girl's life.

P.S. Just for your info, this is not my first uncle who suffered because of drinking, but there were others too. One or two were dead, and the rest is in sickness now. The uncle which i blogged bout, has bout 3 days or so to live, he's in critical condition.

Update
Well not really, nothing much to update actually. My memory card reader is missing, so i cant upload any pictures, and nothing much is happening as well. Anyway, when i was reading blogs, i came upon someone's, Shin Wei. I saw this Christian comic scripts, which really speaks about lots of things we're worrying about. As Christians, we ought to know that God is there, all the time and He's listening to us, but yet we don't talk or share our problems with Him.
