Findings
Thursday, December 29, 2005
did an interesting search on my name. cause there are times i wonder : since names are given to us, there's of course a meaning to it.
so yeah, did a search on my name and guess what i found?.
according to www.behindthename.com :
RODERICK
Gender : Masculine
Usage : English
Meaning : Means "famous power" from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and ric "power". This is the name of the main character in the poem 'The Vision of Don Roderick' by Sir Walter Scott.
am i to become a man of famous power?. hmmmm.
well, let's try from another website, Source B :
according to www.zelo.com/firstnames:
RODERICK
Gender : Masculine
Origin : German
Meaning : Famous Ruler
am i born to rule?. think my mum regretted giving me this name. guess she doesn't know the meaning of it when she decided to give me this name. always complaining that i make my own decisions. nth to do with my name though. everyone will have to make their own decisions in time to come. otherwise will become like a mama's boy. that's all i have at 12 plus.
i have to sleep before 1 a.m. haa.

end of enjoyment soon
Tuesday, December 27, 2005
school's gonna reopen soon. what kind of interesting things await for us?. fierce teachers?. stressful year?. late night sleeps?. who knows?. but can actually expect these to take place.
people say all good things come to an end?. what do you think?. for me i know mine won't happen this way. cause i have God's joy and love within me. these two and wonderful and perfect things that will never come to an end.
well, just take holidays for an example. it's a good thing to most people. but it ends, doesn't it?. and this is gonna end in a week's time. memories of the 2 years spent together as a class just can't seem to fade away, but of course i don't want them to.
time passes so quickly. just a snap of a finger ; 2 years passed. sec 3's life will be a short one. and also a snap of the finger ; all of us will be sitting for o' levels.
this whole " whoo- haa " discusion about time. time is simple as it is. it goes on and on, but never comes back. sometimes i ponder : is time is most valuable thing in the world?.
well, YES. can money be compared to time?. i don't think so. can health be compared to time?. i don't think so either. most people will say health is wealth. well, health is also important. but time is always the element which makes people happy, heartbroken.. all kinds of emotions. if you were to carefully analyse, time is the root.
some of us don't really realise the importance of time until when we are in a situation in which you need more time to complete smth like let's say in exams and projects. but if every one of us will neglect the importance of time.
this post seem depressive, like as if there's no tmr. haa. i'm just typing what's going through my mind right now.
personal experience, you regret not treasuring time. most of us might experience that before. but if you didn't that i'm sure your time is near. i'm just gonna share what i've learnt during the sermon about time.
a goal and a vision. do most of us have that?. or are you just plainly walking alone in life and having no goal or vision to pursue?. most people will go : my goal or vision is to achieve good results for exams. i mean, there's nth wrong with that. but is life all about studying?. come on, i'm sure that there's smth else that you wanna pursue. maybe sports or hobbies?.
time is only relevant and significant when you have a goal or purpose. don't you think so?. maybe when you are free just give it a thought. is life all about studying?. if it is i don't see why we humans are given emotions. happy, sadness, disappointment, delightfullness, feeling over the moon. i don't think these are involved in studying, don't you think?. mostly is frustration during studying when you study so much and then you rmb nth.
there can only be 3 cases of people involved where time is concerned [ i came up with this myself ] :
1. people who have lots of time to spare.
2. people who have no time cause they're packed with stuff.
3. people have have enough time to do what they have to.
which one do you belong?.
haa. most of us will belong to cat. 2 next year. don't believe?.
well, i've only one thing to say about time : treasure it, or you will regret.
Last Christmas
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
Chorus
(Oooh. Oooh Baby)
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Chorus
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special
someone
someone
does this song seem familiar so you?. although christmas is already over. this song still lives on. many people don't treasure what they have until they have lost it. and those who gave their hearts away are the victims.
but i know Jesus isn't gonna give my heart away. He keeps track of my every sorrow, keeps my tears in His bottle and He records every single thing about me and everything that revolves in my world in His book.
this is where i get my security, significance and self-worth. cause i know He loves me.

so here i am blogging on christmas eve. haa. it's an hr and 41 mins to Christmas.
so Happy Christmas to everyone in advance. haa. so here i have a story that i wanna share. it's completely amazing to me.
so here the story goes :
soon, they both started quarelling about some personal stuff and Leong Jr. was so fed up and upset. there he sat in his room, reflecting on what he had done. he didn't know what to do then, so he took out his follow-up file and bible from his bag and started flipping through the file. there he came across the follow-up lesson about dealing with sins. and there goes :
1 John 1 : 9 - " If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Leong Jr. knew that the quarell b/w his mum and him was because he sinned. he did something wrong. guilt began to overcome him. he prayed softly, confessing his sins to his Father in Heaven, asking for forgiveness and hope that his parents would also forgive him. he prayed with all his might, in english and in tongues. he knew in his heart that his Father would not forsake him. after praying, he felt that his heart had lightened a lil.
2 hours later he left for church for christmas eve service. although he still had a heavy heart, he managed to keep his spirit in a high and happy mood. basically excited. haa. he didn't want to have that depressed face cause it's christmas eve! after meeting his friends, he suddenly felt that he didn't need to pretend to be happy at all. the happiness came naturally into him.
so service soon started with Praise and Worship. Christmas song was played first followed by rock. he was feeling so happy and light. as in light-hearted. all burden and worries seemed to dropped off his shoulder within seconds. the presense of God was strong.
" Everything's changed, Everything's different
Everything's changed, Everything's different now "
kept ringing in his ears until now. the sermone was about Our Father God.
everything about what pastor said was so true that Leong Jr. somehow knew that God was speaking to him through the pastor. it was a confession of childhood of pastor. and it happened to Leong Jr. as well.
Leong Jr. didn't have a happy childhood. his parents were out at work most of the time and had to be taken care of by a nanny form baby till mid k2. then from there he was brought to his grandmother's care. his parents would beat him up with the cane whenever he did smth wrong in sch and there was once where his mother took a knife and pointed at him right in front of his face. [ this didn't happen to pastor. only for my case it did. ]
from then he told himself that his mother regretted giving birth to him. and at that year he had numerous thoughts about suicide and running away from home. [ this too. ]
he asked himself numerous times when he was young :
" would anybody cry for me if i die?. "
" would anybody be worried if i go missing?. "
" would anybody remember me if i die?. "
" do i mean smth to my parents?. or am i just nth to them?. "
" am i worth something to the people around me?. "
" would anybody be worried if i go missing?. "
" would anybody remember me if i die?. "
" do i mean smth to my parents?. or am i just nth to them?. "
" am i worth something to the people around me?. "
his answers to these questions were answered clearly and straightforward to him today.
Psalms 56 : 8 - " You number my wanderings ; Put my tears into Your bottle ; Are they not in Your book?. "
the answer came to him, he's valuable to God. if everything doesn't seem to be working the way it should be for him, he knows that God cares for him. what ever happens to him matters to God.
after service he hang out in church for quite a while and went for dinner with his fellow CG mates. dinner was at Long John Silver and there were laughter and fun even during eating. everything went so fine and perfect for him as he was enjoying himself. then came a call from his mother who dampened his spirit a lil.
mum : " where are you now?. why so late still not back?. still at church is it?. do you know there's dinner at home?. " [ shouting ]
him : " i'm at the bus-stop waiting for 65 right now. "
mum : " you don't seem to be at the bus-stop "
him : " i bought fries from long john and now waiting for bus. "
mum : " fries?. i told you earlier on got dinner at home right?. you better come home early now. " [ screaming ]
him : " ya larrh. waiting for bus already larrh ! "
* end of conversation *
actually he was still having fun with his friends at long john. there were like more than 10 of us and he didn't want to leave straightaway cause he couldn't bear to leave. so then he stayed on until everyone started moving to leave.
he bidded goodbye to everyone else at the entrance to the underground mrt stn and was accompanied by a couple of friends. but they were heading to jurong east. train was quick. he made them laugh for the last time before he headed home and as he boarded the train, thoughts of what's gonna happen when he got home began to flush into his mind.
but he was kind of tired to think that much. when he finally reached the void deck on his house, he began to worry of how he would get himself out of any situation that he will be put in later. but was too late.
as he stepped into the house, everything was silent. his mum was in the kitchen hanging clothes on the bamboo and she didn't say a single thing. he was totally shocked and suprised. he expected the nagging and scolding to start once he stepped in. but no, it didn't happened. he then got his clothes ready to bathe and as he stepped into the kitchen,
" there's porridge. do you want vegetables?. i'll fry if you want ".
"anything." he replied. he thought to himself : impossible.
throughout the whole night his mother didn't even scold or nag at him a single word.
HIS PRAYERS HAS INDEED BE ANSWERED.
" Everything's changed. my prayer's been answered.
Everything's changed. my mum's not nagging now! "
Everything's changed. my mum's not nagging now! "
anyway, happy christmas everyone! =)

Blast happenings
Friday, December 23, 2005
yeah. so here i am back from Blast. total fun!. so i'll elaborate now. =)
but first of all i want to thank Shawn for coming along with me and you have been a sporting person and a great participant of the event.
alright, first i went to meet Shawn. a pri sch friend of mine at the mrt control stn. girls should actually be there. he can already satisfy your first need : height. he's 1.82m tall.
haa. then went to BK take breakfast / lunch then head down to church. haa. during the meal we chatted all those funny, happy, sad, times. most of you don't really know about my past. pri sch friends should know.
so since i have plenty of time i elaborate on those times : alright, shawn and i were always the two famous trouble-makers and the elements of destruction to teachers. any staff from sch knows us except maybe the cleaners. known each other since p2, we were in the same class for 4 out of 6 years. so got quite alot of history. during p2 we were already very naughty in that sense, not doing hmw and stuff. but i'm more of the naughty one. shawn, not really.
there was once where i totally didn't know maybe a month's hmw?. according to shawn, it was like 2 months. can't rmb how long. anyway, the teacher wanted to collect the book back from us. and last time the book was xi zi. a chinese wb giving exercises on how to write chinese characters properly by writing it continuously for 5 or 10 times?. then i didn't do. so the night before the collection of book in sch, i chiong out everything. and this is the best part, i marked it myself. the teacher had this habit of writing the grade and the date on the last page of every excersise. so the previous excersise was a B+. and the paper quality wasn't that good ; can see through. so i traced the B+ from the other page onto another. so making as if it's marked.
it was quite a few pages.. more than 10?. then after handing the book up the next day, nothing happened. but the following day i kena. don't know how he managed to find out larrh. then he scolded me in front of the whole class. [ i was giggling softly at that point of time ] . haa. maybe pri 2 then can't expect a " masterpiece " from me.
maybe another day then i talk more abt that. back to the original topic.
food cross cum amazing race was shorter than the other time. we had to find 3 food instead of the previous 8. first food was poh piah. then after that linked to Heaven and Earth Green Tea. from there link to almonds. from almonds link to smint. then from smint link to a food at subway. then completed the thing. not the first one to get back. but fun afterall.
[can't type much now because if the time. will edit this post ]

heyy people out there! i've an outing just right and suitable for you!
this is the event!. organised by my church but don't worry, i'm not asking to you convert or anything. it's just like any other outing. the objective is to have fun!as you can see, it's from 12pm - 7 pm and it's on this thursday
there are 3 programmes going on during this period of time.
1st - amazing race cum food cross : it's something like the food cross on channel 5. which you go around looking for food, but then you have a starter food, from that you link that food to another one until when you reach the last clue, you have to figure out which food will be your seoncd last.
2nd - mambo : this is actually a competition between teams. each team will be given the same no. of food to finish. and the team which finishes the food wins. it's that simple. the previous food cross we had, the food was mac's burgers. so if you are one who can eat alot, you should know what to do ;)
3rd - Chronicles Of Narnia : after the above two programmes, we are going to watch Chronicles of Narnia, so if you are one who can't wait to catch that movie you should know what to do as well.
if you are interested in the above event, please contact me on the hp. sms will be the best way.
i ENCOURAGE and CHALLENGE you to come! =)

1st day alone.
today marks the first day which i'll be alone in s'pore and my family overseas. now i get to feel what freedom is. total freedom. i've nvr felt much of that before.
so maybe each and every day all the way till friday i'll blog. since i have the time to do so. nobody around to disturb me so that i can do my book review in peace and also do the things that i need to.
Personal things to accomplish.
1. do at least half of book review.
2. plan of how i'm going to use my time wisely for the next 4 days.
3. finish the bridging course worksheet [ so long liao but yet i have yet to finish doing it. ]
4. plan of how am i going to tell parents about christmas service and heart awards.
5. continue training in Need For Speed : Most Wanted. [ haa. i'm not addicted. just that this game rocks. i'm becoming more like ronald. ]
maybe that's all for today bah. might be others. typing them down to remind myself cause we humans tend to be distracted by things around us. and in the end we do not accomplish what we need to do.
yesterday's service was great. the whole thing. just that there were two girls sitting in front of me. guess that they were new comers. haa. they kept smiling at each other and looking around during praise and worship.
reminds me of myself when i was first in church. the difference is that i didn't smile or anything. just stoned there and sang along. haa. typical reaction for any new-comers.
maybe i'll come back later in the night. to blog what happened during the day.
posted by Rod @ 10:57 AM,
haa. now i'm blogging on my father's company's laptop. my destop is right beside me yet i'm not using it for the time being. haa. it feels so fun to have a laptop with you. i'm currently connected to my personal home router. haa.
just installed it moments ago.
today's camp service was totally awesome. man, i regretted missing the two other days' service.
IT'S EITHER HAVE ONE OR NONE.

time just passes so fast..
2 years. well, coming to 2 years.
so many things just happened along the way.
for now i'm sitting in front of the com typing this post out. it's 7 mins to 1 a.m for this sentence.
everything is silent, just for the flowing of the water from the mountain and the moving of cars outside my house.
memories,
they will never fade.
nightmares,
they rush out of my living gate.
life,
seem so short.
death,
just like hiding from a battle in a fort.
time,
just passes so fast.
missing you,
days passed and love for you grew.
love,
i've found mine in you.
follow me,
as i prove my feelings so true.
it's now 1.01 am.
i'm just typing this post with mixed feelings and emotions.
If A equals to life, then what's X, Y and Z where X + Y + Z = A?
WHAT WILL BE MY X, Y, AND Z THEN?.
colours.. white and black. significant colours.
white stands for light while black stand for darkness.
don't you think both these colours look outstanding when paired together?. you see the difference between them almost immediately.
but what if white stands for love and black stands for hate instead?. what would the result be?. will they look outstanding when paired together?. if both of them are mixed, what will be the conclusion in terms of grey?.
posted by Rod @ 12:30 AM,
found a couple of things about life yesterday night. haa. they are all quotations.. some of them are really true. so thought might wanna share.
`Life /
1. Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. [ haa. some of us will say that when we get fed up with things. ]
2. The purpose of life is a life of purpose. [ all of our lives are filled with purposes ain't it?. then it ain't then what's the point of living?. ]
3. Jack Palance: "Do you know what the secret of life is? One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don't mean shit."
Billy Crystal: "Yeah, but what's that one thing?"
Jack Palance: "That's what you've got to figure out."
[ it's true don't you think?. most of us haven't figure out what's that yet. ]
Billy Crystal: "Yeah, but what's that one thing?"
Jack Palance: "That's what you've got to figure out."
[ it's true don't you think?. most of us haven't figure out what's that yet. ]
4. I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it. [ a conflict with 3. but do you think that that's the secret?. ]
5. Why torture yourself when life'll do it for you? [ is life really that cruel and meaningless?. i'm sure some parts of our lives are beautiful and perfect. ]
6. God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only question is how. [ it's how you handle your life that makes a difference. ]
7. Life is one big judgment call. [ do you think so?. life is sort of a test to me. maybe a judgement call perhaps?. ]
8. If A equals success, then the formula is: A = X + Y + Z, where X is work, Y is play, and Z is keep your mouth shut. [ wonder who said that?.. it's Albert Einstein. true also ain't it?. ]
9. Summing up, it is clear the future holds great opportunities. It also holds pitfalls. The trick will be to avoid the pitfalls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six o'clock. [ getting home by 6?. i guess most of us don't. ]
10. If you stop struggling, then you stop life. [ life is all about struggling.. hmmm. ]
11. We should give meaning to life, not wait for life to give us meaning [ we shouldnt wait.. should we?. ]
12. Life is easier than you'd think; all that is necessary is to accept the impossible, do without the indispensable, and bear the intolerable. [ can we really do that?. i can't at times ; for the tolerance part. ]
there are more but i stop here for the time being. haa. now let's look at what people have to say about love.
`Love /
1. Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love. [ scientific explaination ain't it?. it was also Albert Einstien who said this. ]
2. When love is not madness, it is not love. [ what you people in love think?. ]
3. You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, she is beautiful because you love her. [ hmmmm. ]
4. Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker. [ have any one of you reached this level?. ]
5. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. [ i thought cupids were suppose to shoot arrows?. William Shakespeare said this btw.]
6. Hate leaves ugly scars, love leaves beautiful ones. [ wonder why people say love sucks. ]
7. Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. [ i thought women who scream at the sight when they see mud on the floor and they will nag at men not to do that again. then as they clean the floor they would complain how lucky men have them by their side. ]
8. Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable. [ love blossoms through friendship ]
9. Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart. [ anyone of you feel that before?. ]
10. think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night. [ done that before?. ]

now my mum's nagging at me.. it's coming to 12 and she's saying that i'm in the room with air-con yet i'm on the com. she wants me to do comprehensions. =.="
sound today was cool, learned how to differentiate different types of sound through the eq tuning. it's actually a very cool thing to excel and be interested in. but looks like now i do not have perfect hearing. my ears got busted maybe due to listening to heavy metal last time. ahhhh. my poor ears.
man i can't wait for the 5 days to arrive. instead of 7 it's now 5. but the worst part is that my parents will be back before christmas. ahhh. looks like i'm gonna prepare for some shouting and yelling. can't they just come back after christmas?.. that would have saved me a lot of trouble if it really happens.
to rachel : haa. things are really very simple and it all comes to one word , " friendship " haa.
posted by Rod @ 11:46 PM,
haa. now everyone's into the festive mood now!.
cause CHRISTMAS is coming!
and amirul's birthday happens to be on the same day! haa. well bro, don't worry, it's coming. haa. make sure you spend time with your C on the phone on that day.
went to watch chicken lil today. quite funny larrh. just that the bad point is that the movie is too short. best that it could have been longer. went to watch with jason and bradon today. the lil orange creature looks very cute. can't be compared to chicken lil. haa. but the part that i dn't understand is that how chicken lil could fall in love with the duck. haa
then after the movie went back to church for a game of pool. haa. now my interest seem to be on pool liao. but too bad i can't go to those arcade centres or pool centres to play. need to be 16 and above. haa. so just have to wait for 2 more years before i can play it openly.
christmas will be a busy season for me though. not really. maybe for the TLs and CGLs. gonna have services on the 24th and 25th. haa.
can't wait for my 7 wonderful days to arrive. i'm gonna spend my time fruitfully during that period.
to rachel : haa. yeah. i haven't. haa. wish i could happen like every other day. haa. no larrh. i'm not that demanding. haa. let's just let nature take it's course. haa. go with the flow.

it's now 12 plus which means it's wednesday, which also means it's mee han's birthday!. happy birthday mee han! may all your birthday wishes come true!
i have stumbled upon this song and felt that it's very meaningful. quite an old song.
Unchained Melody
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need you love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flows to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need you love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
came across this song while reading talkingcock.com. haa. then a joke was made out of this song. regarding an Ah Beng going to the KTV and he told the guy to play the song " Ah Cheng Bua Lo Ti ". [ which means Ah Cheng buy bread in hokkien ] so the KTV guy told him that they do not have hokkien songs in their collection. then they argued and argued until the manager had to be called. and after an " investigation " , the song that the Ah Beng wanted to choose was Unchained Melody. just that he pronounced it in a hokkien way.

going to buy my books for next year early in the morning and then head down to church for CG. haa. who knows that i would do next?.
i'm waiting for the time to come.. it's finally here into my life..
I'M GONNA HAVE THE HOUSE TO MYSELF FOR 7 DAYS!.
haa. my family will be going to don't know which country and i'm not going. it's 7 days! haa. finally. this is the first time that i have the house to myself for 7 days in my life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i'm thinking about the words you typed on msn,
my mind is filled up with images of you;
your smile, your face.
your voice gives me a sense of security,
letting me know that you are there for me.
things might just flow away like the current of the sea,
but i have left you a place in my heart, for you only.
it has been days,
all these lonely days that i have spent alone.
i yearn for you,
you know i need you.
as time goes by,
my love for you gets stronger.
this is smth i can't deny,
be mine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
time : 10.12pm
that poem any how type one. haa. anyway, here i am back at home after day's long of happenings. well, after CG played pool. then went to watch a movie.
..
...
....
.....
YOU MUST NEVER WATCH THAT MOVIE! can't understand a thing at all. it's.. you can't even understand the plot at all and there's always singing mins later. one song after another. then you have people jumping around singing. i regretted watching it. haa. so were the others. $7 for no-entertainment.
and that show is a chinese one. so people from other races you are spared from the torture of this movie. haa. it's the new movie by Jacky Cheung. it's called Perhaps Love.
but do heed my advice. DON'T WATCH. Life! gave it a 3 1/2 stars out of 5. maybe it's because the content to mature for us to understand. haa.

thoughts of the old times just flashed through my mind and something made me laugh non-stop. i couldn't rmb how i looked like when i was in pri sch. well, had a lil impression of it. haa. so i thought might as well share with you all.
you can click on the photo if you want to.
haa. i'm that guy who had the soccer ball on my head. haa. i'm still laughing larh!. haa. think that pic was taken during p4 or p5. cause i looked different from that when i was p6. haa. i still can't believe that i looked like that. haa. so nerdy and fat larrh. haa.
so it's now already 1 plus and i still haven't taken my lunch yet. haa. what amazing discovery i made in my own house. haa.
so how much difference time can make on outer appearance. if i were to look like that in sec sch i would be laughed at. haa. and that pic, at that time i haven't discovered that i looked better in the flat-top hair style.

i stumbled upon an anonymous's blog and found it almost the the same to someone else. same as in content wise. both are troubled over love. ( both are male. )
most people's mindsets are that girls/women are always the one, as in the victim of this cruel thing called love. wells, if you think that way then i really have to break that mentality of yours cause we guys also suffer at times. now teenagers will get themselves into this messy thing called love, haa. i'm not exception, last time. and afterwards they find themselves very difficult to get out of it.
from what i see there are always common situatuons when you fall in love with someone and this is what you get ; i'm writing from a guy's perspective:
1. you like the girl and girl don't like you ; either fight on or give up ( sometimes one can get deprived from that) [ victim here are the guys ]
2. you like the girl and she goes for another guy. [ victim here are the guys ]
2. you like the girl and she likes you. tada! here comes a relationship. how lasting will it be depends on individuals.
3. girl like you you don't like the girl. you reject her. she ends up crying for days and cannot concentrate on studies. ( this situatuon doesn't really occur that often. unless that guy has a gay face that looks cute. often filled with pride. well, there are some exceptions of course, but very few. )
4. girl likes you but never tells you. ( this one i don't know. i not familiar with this situations. nvr heard of. cause there will always be one big mouth behind the scene. but sometimes what they did results in good things) - but sometimes there are some cases that are true larrh. but also quite a few.
alright from here, my point is this. guys are also victims of love. i've people telling me that in love, guys are jerks while the women are the angels. get what i mean?.

The Gifts Of The Holy Spirit
Saturday, December 03, 2005
yesterday was the last day if VBS and was also a very amazing day. VBS people will know why and what happened.
non-christians shouldn't know about this until they either believe in Christ or they are stable in church then they should know. haa.
changed my skin in request from sabrina. went according to her specifications. but i don't like it as much as my previous one. but this is the best i can find. the box so small that when i post pics i will have a problem.
well anyways, just had a thought today that i might become a sound engineer. haa. got inspired by Alan. actually must thank mee han for bringing him to church and that i have a chance and opportunity to be exposed.
for the benefit of those who don't know him, he's actually a student in a University doing a degree of sound engineering. haa. since i had started off by doing Sound for S.O.W i might as well carry on having that interest.
the whole concept of sound engineering is just so cool but pressurizing. haa. sound engineering has to do with DJ and so on and not everyone has the patience and interest to do it. in order to pan a sound moving from left to right for just 5 seconds can take you two weeks to do that. imagine those who are impatient doing that. =.=?
Brother Sky will be sending us on attachment on New Year's day. haa. woooo sound crew sound crew sound crew.. think i'm going crazy. i have yet to recover from what pastor did to me yeserday. but as the saying goes. Philipians 4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. "
Losing someone you love.
just vistited amirul's blog and i mean, if you go through the same situation as him, you will actually break down and cry. i'm serious. but i didn't. well, okae i'm lying, i almost did. felt sad for him. a girl that you love so much, thousands of miles away from you. well bro, you gotta stay strong!
that's why the invention of msn messenger with now the feature of a video conference with voice enabled comes in needy. but still can't be compared as in face-to-face that kind of thing. i'm still waiting for the sucess of teleportation.
a gap of thousands of miles,
can't be measured by an ounce.
it's the loss that you have to cope,
and her love that you have to grope.
the words that she muttered,
before she left your arms.
although it's just 3 words,
the breath-taking " I love you".
although you and her are apart,
both of you all always be close together.
close enoough in mind and heart,
to manage any weather.
her voice's still ringing in your ears,
her face's still surfaces in your mind.
you break down and burst into tears.
but you gotta stay strong, you know that you are always hers.
