Responding to a tag by Catherine,
I hardly ever do this (...Try Never...)
But It's like 2.30a.m, I've just finished my slides for tomorrow's presentation, And I'm listening to David Cook's album "Analog Heart". So since I'm in the mood.... What the heck right?
1. What was your second post in June the first year you blogged until now?
June 2006, Update on life and the lyrics to a new hillsongs song
Hey guyz, It's been a really long time since my last post. Don't get me wrong, There have been tons of stuff to write about. But recently i have been so boggled down with workload that I practically have no time at all. Literally I feel like I'm raging against time. There's been so many activities conducted by our church for the new freshies at TARC. Ive made ton's of new friends and my schedule is even more hectic then ever. Before RM50 of credit could last me a month. Now its ending within 2 weeks....... Arghhh! Slowly going broke..
2. What was the thing on your mind the most in August the first year you started blogging?
Was really into reading about apologetics, Lee Strobel in particular
But what about hell? Why would a loving God create a horrible place of eternal suffering?
This is a very difficult question theologians have argued over for centuries. But I believe the Bible teaches hell is a place where non-believers go after death. For those who are offended by the idea of hell, I ask, "What is God supposed to do with people who've spent their entire lives denying and rejecting their Creator?" In the end, God has to separate these people forever from himself. And why would they want to be in heaven anyway? Heaven is about worshiping God and experiencing him to the fullest. Our heaven would be their hell.
3. What were the things you had on your blog during December the first year you started blogging? (for example icons, chatboxes, what kind of links you had on your page)
Honestly my page was pretty bare, At that time I wasn't really much of a blogger, Still aren't though. But as I recall my blog was threadbare and simple. Black and gold layout with my display picture on it of me in a cap.
4. Randomly pick a post in February (from any year of your blogging life)
Once upon a time there were two kids who learned the hard way how much birds like breadcrumbs. While wandering in the forest, they almost got eaten by a candy-loving witch! But thankfully there was an oven handy, and before the witch could make Hanselburgers, Gretel toasted her golden-brown.
5. Weirdest comment left at your blog post / blog's guestbook / chat box
Honestly cant remember, Don't have logs going back so far.
6. What colours has your blog used as a background?
Green & Yellow (2005-2006)
Black (2006-2008)
7. Most interesting Valentine's post?
Year 2008
Havent blogged of Valentines Day as of yet.
9. Who do you tag to do this blog?
Bleh~ Tag huh?
How about ......nobody.....
wooohooo am I gonna get conked on the head in 24 hours like those chainmail warnings?
We shall see.....We shall see indeed!

Today in college we had the Rush "Amazing Race" preliminaries as per say. It was held in the college grounds, in teams of two. There was a total of 11 teams participating in the event. And the whole afternoon consisted of us running up and down the corridors trying to complete the tasks on hand. It was mad, We were hassling people for they're reciepts at McDonalds, Looking for random people with a specific shirt along the corridoors, Free throwing basketballs at the court, Drank a nasty concoction of Orange Juice with Wasabi and chilli padi in it, Dancing infront of the Main Entrance with two bottles of Twister Orange juice to some funky Elvis music for a minute while being recorded. And the last..... Doing some weird push ups variation in the middle of a class coridoor. All in all it was a blast, And me and my teammate had tons of fun, We were fooling around with another team of friends aswell....
Now for results........ WE GOT SECOND PLACE......yup you heard me right... We got second place..... from behind that is......
We missed 3 important clues as we kept running by them... soooooo...... It was like that :)
Anyways, I would say this would be a preparation for our Langkawi Rush trip..
I will be going for it... Got the go ahead from my mum already... Pulled together a team... And now we just need to wait til August for the games to begin.....
"Those tickets to HongKong are mine!!!"
*evil smirk*

So anyways theres a trip in our department by a club called (..havent a clue...) titled RUSH!
And they're hosting an Amazing Raze trip to Langkawi during our semester break for 4 days 3 nights. You'd have to sign up in teams of 3 unless your cool with just being chucked into a random team.
So to cut things short its like RM450 for transport, lodging, food, a tour around the island, and the amazing race game itself. For a 4 days and 3 nights, Thats a pretty sweet bargain.
I'm still weighing my options, And I might go with a few of my friends, as we'd be forming our own teams for the event. I can anticipate it would be loads of fun. Yet at the same time I would have to counter check with my mum, as she'd be coming down for her annual vacation. She gave me the liberty of choosing a spot for vacation. But I guess I would rather just hang around KL with her spending time with her........... and ofcourse the vacation money would be better spent on "Shopping". I still have quite a few things on my wishlish I hope to get before the end of the year~. Cant wait til the Mega Sale in August. Perfect timing!!!!! Woohooo.....
Anyways rather then daydreaming about my holidays I should be focusing my energy on my Finals which is in 3 weeks time. Time to kick up my effort to an all time high. I just love this season. And it ain't sarcasm =)

I have finally completed my collection of Asterix & Obelix. And this is a cause for celebration... (for me at least ).
For the uninitiated, The series follows the exploits of a village of ancient Gauls as they resist Roman occupation. They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid, which gives the recipient superhuman strength. This is often used for comic effect, as in a recurring sequence where the villagers sally forth from their village to rout the attacking Romans so easily as to consider it great sport. In many cases, this resistance leads the main characters to travel to various European countries (but also Egypt, America, India and other non-European locations) in every other book, while the remaining are set in and around their village. The entire series is laced with humour and caricature, and in my opinion is one of the best comics to have emerged from Europe in the 1950's. If any of you are intrested in checking the comics out, I'm more then willing to borrow them out! Sharing is caring after all *cough* or so they say....
Now,
I best get back to reading them up. Absolutely love them....
Drum roll please~
I have finally started my fitness regime, After a quick bout of shopping, I returned proudly flashing my new pair of 15kg dumb bells. (And yes I can carry them otherwise I wouldn't have bought them in the first place)
With the enthusiasm of new equipment I proceeded to warm up by jogging followed by 40 reps of squats, weight lunges, and crunches.
While walking back to my old place at Menara Alpha,
I seemed to be pulling a fair bit of attention from the opposite sex.
My oh my..... Filled with pride over the few nanomillimeters shaved off my tummy,
While proceeding to stroke my thinner waistline,
I realised....
.
.
.
.
My fly was undone
.
.
.
.
And that explains the attention...
Talk about a killjoy to end the night huh?

I've finally gotten around procrastinating and have more or less moved out. Around 90% of my possessions are now in my new room. And in the next few days, all of my new house mates would be shifted in. It's about time too. For our rental has been on gauge since last week for an empty house. Praise the Lord, that our house has full occupancy now. We had a dramatic late entry from a person. All cool though.
Now, I only need to find a tenant for the medium room in my prior house at Menara Alpha, or in the following month my rental cost would be RM660. I'm believing that someone would snap up my room for I'm not pushed into a new direction to be forced into a loss.
Tomorrow night, I'll be having dinner with all of my new house mates. As some of them are not acquainted with the rest. I'm looking forward to it! :)
Would need to start working on the more technical aspects of the house such as drilling, and setting up appliances, infrastructure...ect
It's going to be tiring, But hey! I'm pumped with anticipation for it. Must be the testosterone within me.
I'm calling it a night! My eyes are bloodshot, I'm beat, and I have tutorials in the morning! Cant wait til tomorrow~ =)

Dear Dad,
Its been four months since we parted. So much has changed. KL has changed drastically,Cost of living has gone up, The price of petroleum, the shortage of rice and cooking oil. Eating in Wangsa Maju price wise is equivalent of eating in Damansara already. I really miss your cooking. It's really hard to find even a half decent curry around here.
I've become loads more independent. Not having you around to help me pick up after myself does that :)I was thinking about our last trip to Thailand a few months back.
I really had a great time with you. It was real fun navigating the hustle and bustle of stalls selling all sorts of goods and trinkets. I guess it was one of those rare occasions where just the two of us would go out together. And I just want to let you know I treasured every moment of it.
You'd be much happier to know I've been improving in college, I obtained 2 High Distinctions so far in my subjects for Midterms. Still awaiting the results for another paper. I'm still working towards my goal of being a counselor. You have no idea how much it meant to me that you supported my decision.
Mum's doing fine, She's still down in U.A.E working. She misses you as well.... I can tell :)
I'm in the midst of moving house, Moving across the road to a new condominium called Metroview . I'll be a house leader there apparently. Surprised eh? So was I.
You wouldn't believe it.. But Jason's getting married to his fiance. Yup it was like only yesterday you used to see him coming back home from school in his uniform. You'd be glad to know he's grown into a fine young man. And you wouldn't recognize that young prat Daniel anymore... haha
He's changed for the better loads. They've both taken after they're parents. Responsible, God fearing young men.
So many of my friends are getting married this year. It's pretty awesome. Do you remember Justin? He's getting married in December. Can you believe he asked me to be his Best Man?
I was kinda caught off guard, ha ha. I wish you could be here to see it. I've never played a part in anybodies wedding before, Especially in such an important role as this.
I do hope all is well with you up there. I do think about you often. I'm not really sad.
But I think of all the joy we shared together, and those Father and Son moments that I treasure dearly. Do say Hi to God for me up there. The Holy Spirit has been so awesome to me. I'm sure you'd be glad to know that he's taking very well care of me down here, until at times I feel spoiled. I guess thats just how Father's are at times right? :)
Even my Father in Heaven is as such.
I just wanted to wish you a very "Happy Fathers Day". With all my love and gratitude,
Without you I wouldn't be half the man I am today. I love you Dad!

Midterms are over, And it looks like I nailed at least 2 High Distinctions for my mids. Which is pretty awesome. What better way to celebrate then to hook up with one of my best buddies that drove down all the way from Damansara. It's been awhile since we've really went out to just chill, and it was a blast. We drove down to Ampang and had a customary rite of passage "Yong Tau Foo" for dinner, And then over to Baskin&Robbins for dessert
Honestly it was the first time I was trying they're peanut butter and chocolate ice cream. And indeed it was love at first taste. I loved the taste of peanut butter mingled with rich chocolate ice cream and wavered with chocolate ribbons. And the huge chunks of peanut butter were a plus point in addition. The Rum & Raisin was totally overshadowed by that entree. I'm looking forward to my next trip down to B&R already.
Alright, taste bud orgasms aside, We got to talking about deeper stuff and talked about his approaching wedding in December. And to my utter surprise he asked me if I would be willing to be his "Best Man" for his wedding. Honestly I was caught off guard. Imagine being bestowed with such an honor on your friend's biggest day. I think I'm dead chuffed. Really looking forward to the months ahead and especially December.
