Got tagged by Debbie to do this. Heh... I finished sketching a portrait of someone just now for my portfolio. Eh... Anyway, I'm not like those mood-spoilers who don't do this when they're tagged, so here we go!
Rules: 1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. 2. Each player answers the questions about themselves 3. At the end of the post the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, than goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know they done got tagged and to ask them to play and read your blog

Aye... had a great weekend.
On Saturday I went for service again. I was late but lucky me, I managed to get a seat right behind the front row. Well, I can't take bragging rights for that. It's way harder in Expo to do that... but who says I can't brag? Service was almost exactly the same message as the last sermon I listened to before I came to KL! That people having less than 4 hours of sleep and over 8 hours of sleep have shorter life spans. I'm still a little skeptical, because I'm probably the most unhealthiest person I know, yet I'm among the most clinically healthy person among my friends as well. Pastor Kevin preached it, and he also mentioned some highlights about him preaching in Japan the previous week. Very entertaining. My first time hearing him preach. Oh, and a few things I just noticed. The drummer is a girl (cool!) and one of the worship leaders really, really looks like James of N337. Even the hair colour and style are the same -.-.
It was the 3:30pm service, so we ended just before 5:30pm. It's been AGES since I've went for fellowship that early. We combined with W32 and I got to catch up with Yu En again. There was also a Singaporean among them, Shawn, who just started studying in KL. Initially it was very awkward for me, I was like quiet and all while most of the others were talking casually. After a while though, I got to warm up with the new people and I had a great time chatting with all of them. Especially Shawn, who told us about his clubbing experiences and all. Hilarious!
James drove us back home, so thanks! It's the regular thing for the people with cars to drive back the other members. It's safer, faster and you'll never have to worry about fellowshipping till late hours. Of course, our fellowship ended early though, and another "AGES" moment, going home at like 8-9pm after church. But it wasn't the end of the night.
My sister has made many friends through Kenny Sia's tagboard. All of them avid bloggers. So they were going for the opening of a new club/pub called Republic and I tagged along. The people who went were Zoe, Lee Ren, Lee Yen (his brother), Su Ling, Billy, Stephanie and Sherry. A Heineken jug cost RM40 at happy hour and RM60 after the hours. Terrible compared to Chips! But the ambience was good, and the comfy couches were heavenly. Lee Ren treated 3 jugs though, so we had plenty to drink while chatting with each other. As usual, I drank the most, and was still damn clear-headed. Had a good time getting to know each other, but after a while some people got hungry and the live bands playing were um... nevermind.
So we headed down to Mac and ate while having tons of chatter and stories. Had a fun time hearing all the stories and all even though it was in Mac -.-. After that we had a ride home and I didn't sleep the entire night. Used the internet and couldn't sleep all the way till 9:30am, where James picked us up to go to Sunway Lagoon.
James had received 27 free tickets to go there, so he invited 2 cellgroups along. It's like a mix of Escape and Wild Wild Wet in Singapore, but I find it better (and way bigger). Well, for W19, there was James, Zoe, Winny, Hui Wen, Kai Xuan, Nick and uh, one person I forgot her name =x. Anyhoo, you can't describe a theme park trip very well, so yeah. We had loads of fun and stuff, especially in the water! Slides and all were great. Afterward we went to Subway to eat, and our conversation was like so quiet and dead... everyone was really exhausted from all the fun.
When Nick drove my sister and I back, I used the internet at 6:30pm, and fell asleep at 7pm! Was dead tired 'cause I hadn't slept in 31 hours. I ended up waking up at 7am today, so my bodyclock is finally back to normal at least, with optimal results =D.
Anyway, I'm blogging all this at a cafe called Leo's. I don't usually blog "live" so let's try it out.
Right now I'm finally using wireless internet at broadband speed. It's been killing me the last few weeks to have to use dialup speed connections at the insanest times 'cause my sister kept using the internet till late night. And it was good.
On the table, there's burger and fries (my dinner) and I'm really hungry. And it was good.
Right beside it is a strawberry milkshake. It's way cheaper here than in Singapore, so its a good opportunity to finally drink it. And it was good.
My sister is on my right, eating her meal and using my mom's laptop. She's not bugging me about saving the earth, turning off the cafe lights nor preaching the "veggie sermon". And it was good.
But this ain't paradise! On my left there's a family eating their meals, and the mother and her young son keep staring at me as if I'm Mas Selamat or something. Oh wait, this isn't Singapore. Eh... actually, I don't know. I don't know any high-profile criminal here. Fine, I look like a freak to them.
A few tables in front of me, there's another family, this time a cute baby girl instead of a momma's boy. She may be freaking cute, but every few minutes she'll scream her head off if she's not given what she wants. Even putting my volume at max and blasting my most hardcore black metal songs through my earphones isn't phasing it out. Then the mom keeps staring this way also. Same expression as the mother beside me. Geez! What's up with that?
Heck, I'm gonna stop here and read a few blogs. And enjoy my strawberry milkshake. And it was very good.

I just realized that there's tons of people in Friendster that I don't know. And I mean tons! Okay, so I added 5 Jolin accounts, and maybe a few pretty girls and handsome guys here and there. But briefly (yes, briefly!) looking through my friend's list, I can easily add up 50 people I don't know. Gee. And we're not even "friends". So much for Friendster. I don't blame the pretty girls though. They probably get stalked enough by pervs. I'd hate to give that kinda impression to them also -.-.
And also another realization. My hair's finally starting to grow! YES! After so long with such a bad haircut, it's starting to get better. I can keep waiting =D.
And still yet, another realization. I'm the only one in GT zone with a tattoo now.
Speaking of tattoos, another (yes, again! Sorry) realization! My sister, my cousin Terry, and I all have a cross tattoo in the same place! Haha! Nice!
Oh oh, one more realization! Yesterday was Kane's birthday! LOL. Wonder how he celebrated it. Chokeslam for anyone?
Hard to imagine this guy has a Bachelor's degree in English. Even harder to imagine he used to be a teacher! Imagine you're late for class. This guy has electrocuted crotches and set people on fire for real, plus plucked out eyeballs (on screen). And you thought caning (pun intended) was bad. I investigated a bit more and it turns out he played a bit of basketball in the NCAA as an all-star and has some records still unbroken. And he almost played professional football until he had a knee accident.
But it's reported he's the friendliest and most polite guy in WWE. WHAT?
Happy birthday to you~ Here's a chokeslam for you~ Happy birthday to Kane~ Another chokeslam for you~

Aye... yesterday I received some answers!
Sort of. Anyhoo, yesterday I had cellgroup meeting in church. CHC KL has these small rooms similar to Riverwalk's room's but its in the church complex itself, and other cellgroups had their cellgroup meetings in there too. This time I was with W19, which is Zoe's cellgroup. Turns out that they switched to the 3:30pm service, but I didn't know about it. Haha... so that explains why I didn't see anyone I was supposed to meet at the 5:30pm service. Still doesn't explain why they went for the 5:30pm one two weeks ago though... hmmm. Nevermind.
After the cellgroup meeting, we fellowshipped at some place. And I probably had the most unique dinner conversation there. On my left were all the girls and they were making jokes, laughing and all. On my right were the guys, and some guy I didn't meet before, who everyone said was very analytical. So since we were beside each other, we ended up talking. About what? Nasdaq! Stock markets! Economy! Recessions! Investments! I don't talk politics with people I just meet, and even when its a topic with my friends, its brief and casual. This time though, there was a lot of scrutiny on interest cuts and such. Heck, I know all this stuff, but I've never liked to talk about it (especially during dinner), so it felt really weird that I was speaking quite knowledgeably about things I didn't give a damn about. It's like me telling you that cat urine glows under black light. Yeah! No kidding! Oh, and another piece of useless information... Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people! Useless info right? Well, I'm right handed, so I don't need to know. Heh!
So while I was chatting about politics and financial stuff with the guy on my right, I sometimes turned to the left and had conversations with their jokes. Then after a while the girls started to talk more serious things and on my right, the guys started to talk about more joking stuff. Haha! Ironic! James (the cellgroup leader) drove Zoe and I back home, so thanks a bunch.
Anyway, I got a little inspired by the graphics designing book I bought so I decided to edit my face a bit. I read an article yesterday disproving vampires. Some guy said that in the year 1600, if one vampire bit one person every month, and each new vampire would bite someone every month, then in 1605 the world population would be totally vampires. To City Harvesters, he used a calculation technique similar to the 1c doubling message by Pastor Tan, and after 30 days you'd have a few million. He concluded this was proof that vampires didn't exist. Well Mr Smartypants, if you knew vampire lore better, you'd realize that vampires can choose who they want to convert. With the exception of 30 Days of Night, haven't you noticed all vampires are seductive and gorgeous? They probably convert the sexiest people, and leave out nerds who calculate the odds on vampires existing. Plus, feeding on humans didn't mean you have to kill them anyway. You can suck their blood, don't convert them and you'll have a renewable resource (LOL, geography).
So that means there's still a chance of vampires existing. Of course, that's as likely as me growing wings and flying back to Singapore -.-.
I can always dream though, right?

OH NO!!!
HOW COULD I DO THIS!
AHHH!!!
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. Really.
Please forgive me... I really didn't mean to.
Please, please, please...
I never meant to do this. I gave in to temptation after all these years of knowing you. I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake.
All the implications. All the troubles. The scrutiny... no...
After knowing you so long and well... how could I?
How can I ever forgive myself?
I'm so sorry...
Ms Koeh, for forgetting your birthday! I completely forgot about it until I looked at your pictures in my computer. Happy belated birthday my most fave teacher! So sorry again!
(By the way, the temptation, was sleep okay... please don't get dirty thoughts.)

Aye, my bodyclock is messed up again. I slept at close to 7am and woke up at 7pm. Geez! Maybe I should try to sleep early. I can only imagine what will happen if I end up waking up at 7pm on a service day. I don't want another repeat of oversleeping for service! Once is enough.
Anyway, I've finished designing my mom's company logo already. They're planning to print it soon. Kinda creepy, seeing your own design on a business card. But it's cool too. Anyway, I've been reading through more of the graphics design book I bought. It cost RM120, so it wasn't cheap at all. But there's tons of great techniques in the book to use and learn from. Besides the lessons for several art pieces, it also includes pictures of many horror-themed pieces done graphically and traditionally. There's so much beauty in all of them! Aye!
And also, being the bookworm I am, I bought Dan Brown's Deception Point. After finishing this, I'll have read all the Dan Brown books already. Seriously, his books are really great. All are smart and brilliant, although he puts some native words without translating them, which kinda annoys me 'cause I can't understand most European languages. The Da Vinci Code may have been historically inaccurate, but heck, its a good book to read. It's called fiction anyway, so I wonder what was the big deal with all those Christian groups boycotting the book and calling it heresy. It's like they were scared 2000 years of foundations would crumble at a mere book. Man, where's your faith? That you assume a Gnostic-themed book would turn hordes of Christians away from their faith kinda shows you don't really have faith in your people do you? (*Hint hint* to the Vatican). It's fiction dammit! Read and enjoy the story. You don't start biting people and have three vampire wives after reading Dracula do you? Speaking of which, I wanna buy that soon. I've seen the movies, know tons of vampire lore, but never actually bothered to check out the book that started the craze.
Oh, and just a quick fact, on the topic of Dracula, I have drank someone elses blood before, straight from the source... but it was a really long time ago. Please don't assume I'm a vampire alright?
Anyway, I thought I'd mention an interesting incident that happened between us last time. Quite some time ago I went for a blood donation, and Kenneth and I ended up sitting near each other during the blood drive. Then some time after that I was going for a blood donation, and had recently heard that several people in my cellgroup couldn't donate blood because their veins couldn't be found (which means, stop eating so much!). As a joke, I told Kenneth that fat people couldn't donate blood, completely forgetting that he had donated blood the previous time. Then he told me that, and I was like whoops.
So hours after, I heard some guys laughing at Kenneth and I heard my name, so I asked what was up. Turns out that Kenneth couldn't donate blood because they couldn't find his vein. LOL! So it's come to be known as Kenneth's Curse.
Beware! I can curse. HAHA. And well, to make it up to him, I've decided (sort of) to give Kenneth the privilege to be in this magazine.
Aye, be honoured!

Okay, so rearranging your body clock isn't as easy as I thought. Although I slept at 1:30am last night, I ended up waking at 6am in the morning! Couldn't sleep after that, so I just played Dynasty Warriors 2 on my PSP. Played till like 10am then my mom asked me to design the final logo for an upcoming business. Plus their business card. I kept it simple, because usually corporate things are boring -.-. I made some more unique ones and they weren't chosen. Ha!
Around 5pm I was dead tired though, and I ended up sleeping till 9pm. Zzz. So yeah. Anyhoo, on Saturday I went for service at CHC KL again. Except there was something really wrong. No one from my sister's cellgroup (W19) was there, at all! I made it just in time at 5:25pm (service starts at 5:30) and I could still manage to get seats quite near the front. Really goes to show how small their church is. But its still good. Pastor Kevin wasn't there, so someone called David preached about revival instead. And boy, do I find it REALLY relevant for the cellgroups in Singapore. Or at least, several in my zone. And I saw a flyer informing the church that Pastor Kong is coming over on the first week of May. Like I said, it's just funny to see your own pastor announced like that, when usually you see other speakers shown that way.
Nice!
So anyway, due to there being NO ONE I recognized in the church besides Daniel (the amazing race group leader) I just ended up fellowshipping with his cellgroup instead. Haha! And boy, it really feels weird to be introduced to everyone like a new friend again. Especially after 6 years. Geez. His cellgroup's W9, and I got to meet a bunch of new people, like Peter (cellgroup leader), Yee Seng, Andrew, Eldy, Ervina and Cindy. We went to eat at some place, and I got to know all of them more, especially Cindy, who's from Indonesia. The rest are all Malaysians. And I really can't tell the difference between Malaysians and Singaporeans -.-. Felt like I was fellowshipping with the same kinda people. Except they had cars to drive for fellowship! Heh!
All of us, excluding Peter, went to watch a movie at Sunway Pyramid, but the line was really huge! At like 9+pm tickets for 11+pm movies were like almost sold out. Zzz, so we went to Summit instead to book the tickets for an 11:25pm movie. The Forbidden Kingdom. Well, all of us enjoyed it. They mixed in a few Chinese myths together and created a new story outta that. Plenty of humor, and the fight scenes were really well done. When we found out the connection between the monk and Sun Wu Kong, the entire theatre was like "Ohhhhh", in complete unison! And except for the few aunties in the show, every single girl in the movie looks great. No kidding. I liked the white hair girl the most though. What was her name? Eh, I only know the actress is Li Bing Bing, and that she looks really gorgeous in the movie. Aside from her hatred against men, I probably paid the most attention to her throughout the movie. Haha, sorry, there's just something about an evil white haired girl with a whip that's attractive. Heck, did I just say that? Oh well.
And, just some random things. My sister complained a few days ago that she kept getting bitten by mosquitoes, and I laughed, saying that for all the days I've been up here, I haven't been bitten once. I regret saying that, 'cause now I'm itching all over with mosquitoe bites! Aye! Next time I'll keep my mouth shut.
And I just got a little annoyed earlier. My friend's friend is up here in KL also, and I was told by my friend to go meet up with him. Aye, I barely know him, and I'm a little lazy to be honest. He kept reiterating to visit his friend over 5 times straight even though I said no! Argh. I can't stand it when people keep insisting on something even though I say no! And I rarely say an outright no, usually I'm fine with it. So when I say no, it really (yes, really) means no!
And on a final note, I read my previous post, and boy, do I have tons of terrible grammar mistakes. I guess making a post when you're half asleep isn't the best idea. Oh well, I'm not going to edit it. Seems quirky to see my bad side of English. Heh.

Aye... I'm dead tired now. Updates on my life tomorrow I expect.
Anyhoo, a few thoughts I'd like to pen out. Or uh, type out.
Headaching decision of KL or Singapore has been half decided by my mom. I still don't know... -.-.
I bought a graphics designing book earlier. Aye, what's the theme? HORROR! Haha! I've kinda run dry of ideas on designing, and I thought I might use a refreshing touch online, but it's hard to find relevant things. I checked the book briefly and I'm very surprised that several professional graphics artists use the same methods as I do, except they use it better and with more depth. That's something I've been missing out on my art, shadows and depth. Hmmm. Okay, it's a little flattering (and relieving) to see that the methods you use are also used in the industry! But I've got plenty more to learn. And this book is just the perfect theme. Horror. How accurate can you get? It's like it was written for me =x.
Also, I've realized something very strange. Someone who regularly reads my blog is using my spiritual link to access my page. I find that very weird. I haven't updated it in ages (sorry), and I'm surprised anyone would still use it to access my blog. One question... why?
I don't think I'll find out the answer though. Unless he/she reads this and suddenly gets convicted to confess his/her weird reasonings for doing that. Anyhoo, I'm DEAD tired now. I've been horribly (pun intended) sleeping for the last few days. Sleeping at noon and waking up at 9pm 'cause of designing. So I decided to wake up at 2pm after sleeping at 8am today. It's only 1:30am now and I'm half asleep. You wouldn't believe how many typo's I've had to backspace and type back on this entry. Great! Now I know what to do to get your body clock back in track. Sleep insane hours and wake up at insane (comparative to my current sleeping times) hours too.
I'll reply the tags tomorrow. Aye... sorry! I'm just really dead tired.

Aye... I just had a really bad nightmare within a dream. Yup, you read that correctly. For the first time ever, I had a dream within a dream. I've heard about it before, and read about the details, but I never thought I'd experience one. I mean, after all, 18 (almost 19, hint hint) years of living and I've never had a dream within a dream before. Anyhoo, I had a nightmare in my dream, but I don't quite remember what exactly now. That's how dreams work, the moment you wake up, the more time passes, the more details you forget. I still remember the dream though, once I woke up in my dream, I proceeded to rush because I was late for church, then I realized that it was 4am -.-.
I woke up after that... at 7:30pm! No kidding! I slept at 11am, that's why. I spent the entire night designing a pamphlet for the cellgroup. Speaking of design, I still need to design a logo and letterhead for a business my mom and her boyfriend are going to set up, plus another logo for a jewelry business. Plus Pinaacle's website, and Debbie's blogskin, plus Jia Jia's blogskin. And I also want to change my blogskin, 'cause... I don't know, I just want another theme that has a meaning.
Actually, I kinda got inspired by that guy I met in Chips, who I had a conversation with when I first went there. He said he learnt lessons through pain (which I completely agree with) and that as a designer of tattoos, he has a meaning for all of his, and likes people to have a meaning to theirs. He said he doesn't like people saying they want something just because it looks nice. Well, I'm a little more liberal on that, as my tattoo is a bit of both, there's meaning in it, and I wanted it because its nice, going so far as to merge two completely different designs together to get what I wanted. However, except for two people who have Photoshop, no one really knows the meaning behind this blogskin. Eh? Eh? That's partly the reason I want to change it anyway. What if someone I don't want to finds the hidden thing in the blog?
Anyhoo, designing so much stuff at once is driving me nuts! Heck, I hope graphic designers in the industry don't go through this kinda torture. I think I'd go nuts at this rate. Oh well... maybe it's 'cause of those damn nightmares. Plus that headaching decision for my future -.-.
Aye... a little note to mention, I've finished reading Cell already. Very nice book, with a very unique take on cellphones. Heh. A little disappointed with the ending 'cause there's so many unanswered questions though, but quite pleased with it all the same. Fo-fo-you-you =).

I find it extremely ironic that I made a post about pricking and blood a day prior to "pricking" my toe and having it bleed. Talk about prophecy!
Actually, that post was inspired by a girl I got to know recently. No details here... in KL, there's things I don't need people to know =D.
Anyhoo, I finally got to speed earlier, the roads are empty at midnight! My mom's friend asked my mom to attend some talk about a health product, and my sister and I followed. Eh, its an MLM business, so I'm not interested, but the product itself is really interesting. And since the topic was health, it perfectly suited my sister -.-. Oh, and to add some more tidbits, my sister says that drinking one cup of Milo a day is unhealthy but 5 cups of coffee a day is alright. Plus, she said steaming vegetables makes them healthier than eating them raw. Aye, for those who don't know, any form of cooking to vegetables destroys vitamins and nutrients, although it varies with each style and duration. Plus, if having overloaded caffeine was healthier than one cup of moderated cocoa, I think the coffee industry would BOOM! And I finally asked where she got this information. She said "some people". Right -.-. Oh yeah, an interesting fact (FACT! From MSN.com), its been reported that having high levels of testosterone (the male hormone) has been linked to higher profits on sales and businesses. So if you feel manly, you'll probably earn a bit more. Its found in females too, although they mostly have estrogen. So ladies, the next time you feel like a man (uh, so long you don't get a gender-confusion), try something that will make you money! You'll earn more!
Oh, I forgot one thing. Having regular high doses of testosterone is extremely unhealthy. So have a balance =p, when you're manly, make money. When you're not, chill out. Or go act like Joel =x.
Aye, and just a little bit of info about my education. ITE SMSed me a few weeks ago asking me to enter course feedback by April 14, and I just remembered that. Whoops? Well, who told them to give me such a low GPA after I improved so much more in Year 2! Meh... maybe I slacked too much in Year 1. If I could just pick Year 2's GPA, it'd be much better =D.
And I still haven't made up my mind on my future yet. I hate making major headaching decisions. Zzz.

I took this test quite some time ago. Debbie passed me the link and it's scarily accurate. I usually don't believe in these kinda quiz stuff, but I don't deny some are fun to do. This one however, has a bunch of random questions, and its damn accurate just through that!
Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you meet that person.
The seriousness of your love: You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education: You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.
How do you view success: You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Well... during the last few days in KL, I won't deny I've been getting my big break. There's something cozy about staying in an apartment, with a bed (major contrast to my rented place) and the ability to drive a car! And I'm not away from church, which is another plus. However, some things still do annoy me. Let's take for example...
My sister has become a health and environment freak. She won't eat anything that the media calls unhealthy and is a self-proclaimed vegetarian, saying she doesn't eat meat because its cruel to animals. But she has no qualms eating seafood. Huh? Isn't cutting off a sharks fin and leaving them to die cruel also? Not to her. Plus, one magazine reported that eating too much spinach was unhealthy, and now she doesn't touch them. Heck, too much of anything is bad. Just try loading yourself with vitamin A and B12. You'll be worse off. Then she now only eats wholegrain fibre bread, which is the kind thats all brownish with all the grains inside. It's healthier than normal bread, but only a bit -.-. Then she loves vegetables, so I'm stuck eating parsley (my most hated vegetable) which is included in like half of the dishes, with almost no meat (I'm more of a meat eater). Also, just for her, my mom has to cook brown rice just for her, 'cause she says its healthier. Fine, it is, but again, not by much. She claims she's eating healthy, but I don't consider a quarter of a bowl of rice healthy -.-. Then when I leave some veggies uneaten, she'll say think about the starving kids in Africa. Geez. Well missy, having me eat those veggies isn't going to fill up their bellies! I know the point is to not waste food, but little morsels aren't going to make a difference. Having me throw up from eating too much isn't going to make them any fuller either.
Not just that! When I go out of my room just to go to the washroom, when I return, she'll have turned off my room lights, saying I waste electricity. HECK! It's just a few seconds! When I'm washing the dishes and stop for a while to check the TV, she'll tell me to turn off the kitchen lights because I'm not using it. Geez! Meanwhile, she's got two lights above her on full time when she's using the laptop. Laptops make light, so what's the use in having more light on top? -.-. Hypocrite, seriously. She said that me turning off the lights for a few seconds will make a difference to the polar bears who are starving in the Arctic, because of the energy preserved in the midst of global warming. I wonder why she doesn't push all these ideals to other people -.-, just my mom and I. Zzz.
Anyway, as if nuisances weren't enough, I accidentally had my toe stabbed a few hours ago. I was lying down on the couch, reading "Cell" by Stephen King (good book), and my sister asked me to help her out in a game she was playing online. Something like Pictionary, but you use paint tools to draw and others type out what you're drawing. I'm really good (and she can't deny it) so she'd regularly ask for my help time and again. After a while of not asking, she asked again and I walked over to her. I didn't see my feet, and I didn't think that having my foot under the chair would be a big deal, so after helping her, I walked back and slipped on the floor. First I was like HUH? How come my feet are wet? Then when I looked down I saw that my toe was bleeding badly, and I had slipped in a puddle of my own blood. Ouchies anyone? I didn't even feel it! Oh man... seems that under the chair, there had been a staple sticking out, which I kicked my toe into without realizing -.-. The blood was pouring out from my toe quite steadily, until I washed it and I finally felt some pain. Afterward, my sister helped me get a bandage and I cleaned up the mess on the floor, which was almost hardened, thanks to the fan. Blood dries extremely fast when blown by a ceiling fan. Aye... you know what my sister said? "That's worse than my period."
"Nuff said. Period.
LOL.

Some smiles hide our insecurities.
Some smiles hide our weaknesses.
But some smiles are genuine.
When blood spills though, all is revealed.

Aye... even in KL I can't sleep properly. Heh, it was enjoyable though.
Today I woke up for the zone's evangelistic amazing race. I found out that unlike CHC SG, where the zones are under a zone supervisor, and there's a mix of cellgroup areas (N, S, E, W) in each zone, in CHC KL, there's only four zones with four zone leaders. As you might guess, they are N, S, E, W. So basically all the W cellgroups came together to have the race in Sunway Pyramid. Not really as big of a deal as you might think, 'cause the highest cellgroup number in W is only 32. So compared to my cellgroup's E458, its still very manageable. Just imagine having all the E's in CHC SG going to Vivo City to have games... scary thought =/. Anyhoo, basically our task was to go around the mall with different clues, and do different tasks and then go on from there. Also as a bonus, there'd be a Mystery Man walking around the mall, and if we caught him, we'd subtract 10 minutes off our score. Thing is, you can only catch him twice, and he runs FAST! Too bad I run faster =p. On both occasions, I was the only one who actually managed to catch him, thus subtracting 20 minutes from our score. Yippee! I may have lost my four-pec days after getting it, but I can still run fast!
I wish the same could be said of our progress. But the games weren't easy. There was one I assumed would be easy, something like a mix of para para and DDR, and my group failed to pass that. Who thought my sister was such a bad dancer? Other noticeable games were having to answer questions where the answers were in certain shops. Aye... we wasted quite a bit of time though, due to the difficulty of some stations. Had fun with my group anyway, which consisted of Daniel (not you Ashley), Winnie, Hansen, Nick, Zoe and I. My mom picked us up later, before the winners were announced. Hmmm... the winner gets prize money, which was the combined amount of the fee all members had to pay. AYE! Talk about an attractive prize!
Went for a haircut after that at some place called Raj. I specifically told them NOT to cut my hair short, have it thin, and to cut my sideburns a bit only. You know what? They probably were deaf or somehow translated my English into the exact opposite of what I said. They cut my hair extremely short (and stupid) and cut my sideburns harshly! Not to mention they barely thinned my hair. When I told the guy cutting my hair that I didn't want it short after my second repeat, he asked some lady to help cut, and she said since my hair had been cut wrongly and short, she had no choice but to cut it shorter to even it out. Geez! The end result was horrible! Better than the guy's initial cut, but still bad enough. ARGH. I shoulda just stayed with having my long hair. Freak! Oh man -.-. This may probably be my worst haircut in my life! No kidding! My hair, when its not spiked and is dry, now looks like a dandelion. For those who can't quite picture the resemblance, I've decided to aid you.
Yeah, my hair looks like THAT! How can I face the public? Heck, I might just stay up here longer so that no one in Singapore sees this damn haircut -.-.
Well, I guess one good thing came out of that. Now my mom can't complain as I now have an excuse to speed on the roads! Reason?
So that the public can't see my hair =p.

Aye... but our lessons are learnt through pain.
Sometimes I make the nicest sounding quotes =x. Kidding. I did make that quote though.
Okay, I made that quote while chatting with a friend. And also because even though I'm in KL now, I can't believe I can still get pissed off by a person in Singapore. Or backstabbed, to put it harshly.
Nevermind about that... my journey up here was, uh, bittersweet. My last trip up here was really terrible. You can click here to read it.
This time around, it wasn't so bad. At Larkin, after helping a couple to buy tickets to Genting, I ate Mac before buying my own ticket to KL (prices have increased). I took the back seat, and unfortunately for me, some fat guy sat beside me. The seats are big, so unlike the guy in the bus I mentioned last time, he didn't overtake his space. Sort of. When he went to sleep, he moved his body sometimes, and his legs landed on top of mine! AYE! He was HEAVY! Just his leg on mine hurt, and made my leg very warm, which was very uncomfortable 'cause the rest of my body was enjoying the aircon a lot.
Geez. Also one of the aircon things you can usually move to blast the air another direction was spoiled, so I had cold air blasting my hair at high speeds, which messed up my hair -.-. Zzz. Upon reaching Puduraya though, I took the LRT to Kelana Jaya and my mom picked me up there.
Then earlier I went to City Harvest Church KL, with my sister. Pastor Kevin Loo was preaching this time, about quite a variety of marketplace values. And when I looked inside the bulletin, Pastor Kong was a guest speaker for the first week of May. Heh! Funny to see your own pastor featured in another church's bulletin, 'cause its usually the foreigners I see featured in CHC SG's bulletin. We had perhaps the weirdest fellowship ever, because three quarters of the cellgroup (W19) weren't there, so fellowship consisted only of 4 people from the cellgroup, combined with 6 from another (who left when we began eating). If I hadn't been there, fellowship would have only been 3 people! Aye, talk about there being a first time for everything. Next thing you know, fellowship will be 1-on-1. HA! Might as well make it a date.
Anyway, this marks my third time driving to church. I drove to church once to Expo, then to CHC KL when I was up here previously. And now today. Aye... I haven't driven a car in ages, so it's freaking nice to do that again. I didn't speed though, heavy traffic almost everywhere today. Nevermind... there's always tomorrow =x.
Aye... don't know how long I'll stay up here. Probably will depend on my mood. Hmmm.
Nitez all.

Aye, yesterday I went for the final helpers training. Yeah, makes me sound like I've been attending all eh? Nah, I only went for the last one, 'cause I was asked to. Anyhoo, several groups made a presentation about evangelism, and later on we had quite an inspirational word by Cliff. After that, somewhat a bonding moment between all the members, aye. Nice.
Jonathan, Jessica, Hui Zhen and I took a cab back to Bukit Gombak and I accompanied Hui Zhen back to Chua Chua Kang. After that, I was supposed to meet Jonathan, who accompanied Jessica back, but when I got on the train we were supposed to meet on, he wasn't there -.-. Okay, nevermind. I went back home myself, and did my laundry before I went to sleep.
Thing is, I woke up this morning, and I realized my clothes were still in the washing machine! All still quite wet! Aye... I'm going up to Kuala Lumpur for a while, and I'm not going up there with half wet clothes -.-. I'll think of something. I was planning to go to KL after this week, but I got a little pissed off by someone, so I decided to go early, just to get away for a while. Even Psyko's need a break sometime...

Do you ever wish you could just fly away? From all your problems. From all your issues.
I'm just so tired of all this. To show an exterior that isn't me. So sickened by politics. Pissed off by the people you love.
Is everything so visible? Indeed.
Let me be who I am, yet be who You want me to be.
I received this revelation a while ago, but it was reiterated when I was at St Andrews Cathedral. The poignancy and simplicity, yet the beauty of it, surprised me. I'm just overwhelmed with so many things. Your future, your education, your image, your family, your walk with God. It's just so tiring. Yet in an unforgettable meeting, I was told only tired people change the world.
But what if you're so tired you just want a break? From all the hypocrisy? From all the picking of favourites? All the biasness? Yet it'd mean I'd be taking a break from impacting people's lives. From leading those who need help. From loving others as I should.
What justifies leaving all your problems for another day? It just delays it. Yet you'd value that break so much. You've crossed a threshold, but you have no idea how far. You don't see the consternation people have around you. Must I castigate to have it realized? Be not afeard though. The beauty of rest is something I will clearly enjoy. The indelible moments I can find peace in. Sometimes, a thousand cries of horror will asphyxiate in my nightmares. Then, if I had awakened after long sleep, which would then have me sleep again, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open and show such beauty that when I waked, I wished to dream again.
Must my relief be only through sleep? Epistaxis would be a welcome to awaken my soul. Bathory's ecstacy, a gruesome sight? Notwithstanding the thoughts of her on my skin, but those I feel inclined to include. Surreal thoughts of satire just make me think daily... is it all worth it? Why do I endure what is unnecessary? Your sins are so salient. Why do your other lackeys not endure the same? Stand on guard for thee. Yet have you hurt me. You'd think Menethil would be have been harder to understand, but that is so false.
I need to get a break... just get away for a while.
Fly away from all the problems.
Fly...

Aye... dead tired now.
Yesterday I played basketball with Nicholas after such a long absence. Since he wanted a court with a net, we went to Republic Polytechnic at around 8pm to shoot some hoops. Thing is, the rain had stopped only an hour earlier so the floor was really wet. And worse still, there were a lot of insects flying around the lights surrounding the court. Thing is, they seemed to like doing kamikaze stunts onto the wet floor, meaning the floor was completely littered with them! Yucks! We kicked the bodies out of our area, but every few minutes a few "squadrons" would come and collide onto the floor. One even collided into the side of my head once I kicked an insect. Talk about payback!
We were quite sickened by the bugs so we left for another court, but halfway through, we kinda lost the mood so we just went to Causeway Point to play in the arcades. I played Tekken 6, and beat Nicholas, but I ended up losing to a genetically modified bear -.-. We went to a nearby playground and chatted till midnight, then I went home, took a quick shower and went over to Koh Wee's house to stay over.
We woke up the next morning to watch some Youtube and eventually Yao Qi came over. We played poker, heads up, with one another. First up was Yao Qi and I, and although I easily dominated the beginning, she caught up near the end, until I finally won her. Whew. Second, I had to face Koh Wee. Not easy, I had so many bad hands till I went all in and won on the turn. That led to my comeback which I eventually won. YAY! They both faced each other after that and Koh Wee won Yao Qi without much difficulty after a torturing start for him, haha. Scary though, Yao Qi was on some mad straight streak for a while.
I left after the matches, and went home to get ready for Bible studies. I reached exactly on the dot and had a lesson about the fall of Lucifer. Freaking interesting, to learn about the beginning and creation. I mean, I thought I knew quite a bit, but turns out there's much more to Genesis than I initially thought. Nice! Had Long John Silvers (yes, again, don't know why -.-) with the cellgroup before we met with N337 and N362 at TCC. Hung around for a while chatting and making stupid jokes before leaving.
Today... aye, I enjoyed myself. Really an eye-opener. Unforgettable.

Aye... finally got time to rest.
I've been going out a lot for the last few days, so starting with Friday! Went out with Tiffany. I was really tired though. I couldn't sleep the previous night, and I had to get a morning call from her just to wake up =x. Anyhoo, I went to Queenstown to meet up with her and we headed down to Vivo City to shop a bit and eat. Heck, somehow I ended up treating her Ben and Jerry's ice cream, plus we had a meal at Long John Silvers. Seriously, that place has become a rip off! The chicken pieces we had were like shriveled, like malnutritioned chicken or something. Or worst still, chicks! We walked around to shop, and I was like her fashion guide or something, kept giving my opinions on what I liked and stuff... haha, in the end, she picked the piece I chose. Good choice =p.
In return for my treat, she gave me a pop tart after I accompanied her back to the checkpoint. Lmao! I really enjoyed the day with her though =D. I went back home and slept a while before going to Koh Wee's house to play poker online. I managed to win a few heads up games, which underlines my pro-ness... ahem. But I miraculously lost to him on the PSP! Zzz.
Next day had service. Had a helpers training/meeting before that though, at Riverwalk. Had Cliff talk about the works of the ministry and it was a good time. Cliff prayed for me and spoke a word that was really divine, it's really too amazing to be coincidental. Aye, it's just God =D. After that I ate at Long John Silvers (again) with Khar Loo, Ken and Kang Ning, as the others had ditched us and went to some chicken rice place instead... -.-, oh well, had a good time chatting with them, even though I was half dead. Later on, going to Expo by the MRT, the doors closed before I could get in and I took a train alone. Geez!
Service was good though, Pastor Tan preached the second part of his message, which at the moment I can't remember, but the notes are still in my notebook. Heh! After service E458 and E432 went to Bugis to fellowship. Had some fried rice meal and went off with Karnex to meet Josh and Adriel at Riverwalk to chill and drink. First it was a little dull, but after getting our drinks and playing some cards, we were having the time of our lives! Freaking fun time, hanging out and joking with each other. Highlight of the night was something called Josh Play! HAHA! Unforgettable move!
Aye... around 3am Karnex and I went off back to our places. I had to wake up at 8am later on to help out with the barbecue logistics. It was quite a terrible process. First, when I was sitting down on the bus, some really, really fat (sorry) guy sat beside me. The thing is, he didn't try to hide the fact he took up a lot of space. ARGH, he literally took more than his own chair, which squashed me, and he seemed oblivious, or else he didn't care. Then after he left, some kid sat beside me, clipping his fingernails. Disgusting -.-. His brother came and did it too, taking a seat, but he was more hygienic, he kept the clipped nails on his hand, unlike his previous brother, who had his nails flying everywhere. When I got off at Eunos, I realized the bus stop marked as "Eunos Station" on the bus routes was actually a 15 minute walk to the MRT station itself. The area was covered in apartment blocks, so I couldn't follow the track, and naturally I got lost after walking a while. Wearing black and having obscene heat on you kinda makes you short-tempered, so in my head I said "Damn it. Geez... God, please give me a sign!" And when I looked up, I saw the clouds positioned in an impossible way, forming an arrow (looked like "<", pointing south-west) too straight to be formed naturally and not those formed by planes. I had nothing to lose following it, so I just went that direction and I really ended up at the MRT station. LOL.
Met up with the others and we did our shopping at Paya Lebar's Sheng Siong. We then went to Butterworth condo (don't worry, you're not the only laughing at that name) and had some games. Don't know how to describe them, but I enjoyed myself. Had our barbecue later, but food took an extremely long time to cook, so long that we had TONS of leftover food but our rental time was over. Geez, our last few minutes were spent mostly worshipping while eating though. Haha! And I also ended up doing the chicken dance 'cause of a game forfeit. Geez. Khar Loo's specialty =x.
Today I went out with Koh Wee and Yao Qi to town area. Walked around many shops, checking out cards for poker, and interesting gadgets. We also played Silent Hill: The Arcade again. Reached further than we ever have before, but not before getting killed by some quick-slashing morons! Slacked at Marina Square before going off and I met up with Michelle and the helpers for a meeting. Our conversation after that ended up talking about demons, spirits, and deliverance. Nice!
Went back home. Dead tired and cranky now. Not happy at all.

Eating huge meals, and having a barbecue, are extremely effective at hiding a four-pec you just developed. Or, at least one you developed a while ago but managed to have it seen again recently. AHHH! No wonder its so hard to keep a fit body.

Just came back from helpers meeting at Marina Square's Hong Kong Cafe.
Before I continue, an announcement. I've finished Silent Hill: Origins! WOOTS! YEAH! Damn, Resident Evil may have become more fun since RE4, but it's become way less scary too. Fatal Frame is still on par though, and the sequels even more so. Aye, I still hate the Fallen Woman the most -.-. Suicide girl. Pfft. Anyhoo, Silent Hill is another survival horror game, so its supposed to scare. And they've done that quite well on the PSP. I put on my earphones, so monsters screaming and attacking me, plus all those shock scenes have my full attention, plus Silent Hill's background music really adds to the atmosphere. Anyhoo, I got the ISO file from Koh Wee and he said it was difficult to play. I don't blame him though, it isn't easy on your first play through. Your guns don't have plenty of ammo to spare for all monsters and the melee items mean you have to get close to them to attack; not your best choice either. All those freaky scenes and chilling atmosphere just make it worse -.-. But after finishing it by killing the demon Samael and freeing Alessa, you get extra costumes and items. If you get a special ending that involves a UFO, you get an alien gun for your next play, with unlimited ammo. That means you can go RAMBO! *Shoots demon nurses with alien gun* *ZAP*
So anyway, back to life. I took the MRT to City Hall and this time I was right on time, so I didn't get to go inside St Andrews to pray for a while. Love that place. Anyway, my cellgroup only had Hui Zhen, Michelle and I, while E432 had Kevin, Michelle (forgot her Chinese name), Ken (also forgot his Chinese name), Kang Ning (aka Khaneg Leng), Khar Loo (aka Qiao Ru) and Qiao Fen. Yeah. Quite a bit of name-listing there =/. Anyhoo, it was mostly about the barbecue we're having on Sunday, and some encouragements and updates. I came up with a lot of the jokes. Especially the jokes on being brainless, headless, and chicken! LOL. I cannot believe the humour that was so spontaneous. Had a really great time getting to know the other cellgroup's members better, especially Khar Loo, Kang Ning and Michelle.
After a while more of fellowship we went off our own ways. Hui Zhen was going to Chua Chu Kang so I accompanied her back with porridge. Okay, nevermind if you don't get that joke =p. Plus, I just learned she used to live in Chua Chu Kang. Surprising information. Talk about learning something new today -.-.
Oh yeah, I also bumped into Rishi after the helpers meeting at Riverwalk the other day, and saw Shu Ling (at least, I think, she called out my name) at CCK's Mac. Haven't seen them in literally years. And Rishi, sorry that my friend and I were gawking at your girlfriend before we noticed you were beside her. LOL. She's freaking beautiful!
And, I just realized I thought really far and actually came up with a name for child if she's my daughter. And heck, typing this now, I just came up with a name for a son! AHHHH! How'd these things get into my head? Oh, and one thing I SO gotta brag about, my four-pec is back! Seems I've been eating a lot less, 'cause I haven't exercised regularly in months. Hmmm... Okay, considering how much my cellgroup eats, I find it very nice that I got a four-pec now. Makes me seem like I actually workout, even though this four-pec was developed long ago and covered in fat when I slacked and ate a lot. Now its see-able again. Too bad I won't be going to the beach anytime soon. Or is this an invitation to ask me out to Sentosa? Eh? Eh?
But hey, what people don't know can't hurt them right? Just pretend I worked out to get this four-pec =x.

Pretty ain't she?
She's my girlfriend... June.
Heh... funny thing how we met. I was at a friend's chalet recently, and I got to meet her. I didn't know anyone there, so I was kinda just standing there at times, not doing anything. Eventually, June spoke to me, asking why I was so quiet, so I just replied and we had a good conversation going on from there. So anyway, after drinking some vodka, I got to talk to June and some others, knowing them better. I was very attracted to her, and she's just so un-Asian it was quite a big break, that I met someone who's got wits and is funny.
So while the others were playing games outside, we just chatted and chatted, and even when all the others went to sleep we still chatted on the bed. Afterward, when we were both kinda tired, we decided to sleep. Since there were so many people and only two beds (four, if you count the pull-out mattresses) I had no pillow of my own, so I just shared the pillow with June, even though we were on different mattresses. We then faced each other and whispered a bit before drifting off to sleep. I was dead tired, but after a few minutes I decided to open my eyes and look at her before I really went to sleep (sorry, couldn't help myself). I opened my eyes and she was looking at me too! Woots anyone?! I really felt close to her that moment. So we just stayed like that for a while, looking at each other with no words. It was so dramatic and romantic at the same time. Freaking sweet. After a while of silence, we whispered a bit more, due to the awkwardness and sweetness of the moment. After a while we decided to really sleep and I didn't open my eyes this time. Heh.
So I got her number and email, then asked her to be my girlfriend on the phone. She accepted. Then a few weeks later I found out she's got a boyfriend from England. -.-.
Belated April Fool's! I actually wanted to type that on April Fool's itself but I kinda got lazy. Wanted to see genuine reactions before I let the truth out... but oh well, yeah. At least you see what I wanted to prank on people =x.
Anyway... you have no idea how nice it is to sleep after a lack of it for 42 hours.
Gabriel had a helpers meeting at the Riverwalk on Tuesday so since my cellgroup helpers decided to eat at Funan, I went to City Hall, then I found out they changed it to BK Eating House. Zzz. Since I was free with half an hour, I went inside St Andrews Cathedral to pray a while. There was only one person aside from me, and for a while later I was the only person inside the nave. Freaking grand, to pray alone in pure silence and solace in such a beautiful atmosphere. I found out that St Andrews was demolished twice, before the current one was erected. And that the design before this one was extremely detailed and grand, which the current one pales in comparison to. I'm already impressed with the architecture now, so to imagine something even more beautiful than this, it must have been quite a sight. Aye...
Had a great time praying there, but I had to leave early to meet up the rest at BK Eating House. So I walked from St Andrews to Riverwalk and joined the others before we went to the Riverwalk. Had a very short message and ministering with slaying in the spirit, but it was a tremendous blessing nonetheless. Really puts a lot of perspective on our roles and responsibility. After that I was very bored and the rest of my cellgroup wanted to go to Aljunied to eat... not my fave place, so I called up Adriel to meet up since he asked me to join him when I'm free. Went to Orchard, and ended up at a place called Chips. It's near Hard Rock Cafe, and Tuesday is beer night! $10 for a jug. Yeah, JUG. Freaking steal. It's kinda small, but the atmosphere is quite cozy. And you know what? I fit right in. No kidding. If I dressed like the people in GT Zone, I'd so look out of place, but my dress style is like totally in tandem with everyone else inside. Haha!
Everyone's very open minded too. You can take a seat beside anyone and start a conversation, and you'll have extremely stimulating topics. You really learn a lot about other's views and perspectives, and its just great to speak to so many open-minded people about anything. I made a new friend, who just so happens to be a tattoo artist who has learnt scarification. Apparently he'll give me a discount if I go get one (tattoo, not scars!) and he specializes in dark and abstract art. Could this day get any better? Sort of. There was a fight upstairs so Adriel, Joshua and Mervyn told me to go out to avoid the trouble since police were coming -.-. So while sitting outside, I met Paul Twohill, of Singapore Idol fame, and turns out he's a regular and knows everyone there (everyone knows one another there). Got to say hi and shake hands before knowing some more people who frequented Chips. Aye. After a while, a girl called Ping joined us. Adriel, Joshua, Ping and I went to Mac to eat before accompanying her home. No NR services, so we walked from Orchard all the way to Bukit Timah. LOL. Nuts! But fun. We chatted at some shelter nearby her place till it was 6am and walked her back before taking our own buses. Took 961 with Joshua back to Woodlands and reached my place at 7:30am. Yeah, I'm insane.
And I couldn't even sleep! Ashley called me up asking me to go swim with my cellgroup Joshua and kept disturbing me for one hour before I finally got to hang up and sleep. Sheesh. I had to wake up after barely any sleep though, to meet up to Jonathan and Daniel for lunch at Tampines. After our lunch, went to Aljunied to slack as Hui Zhen and Isabel gave Bible study. After that went to Riverwalk with Hui Zhen to attend our own Bible studies. Aye, I've got Kenneth, Zi Yun and Soo Jia in my class. Jessica too, though she wasn't free that day. Authority for Victory!
Went home with Eleanore and caught up on a lot of stuff. Aye, when I went home I dropped to bed and slept almost immediately. And you know what? No nightmares! Seems that being freaking tired prevents nightmares =/.
Anyhoo, today I was supposed to go out with Tiffany, but I overslept. Zzz. Nevermind, postpone our "date" to another time. LOL.
Okay, I hope people don't get a misunderstanding here. Geez. Please read in context! And get my jokes! And DANG, I never knew I had so many blog readers. Scary.
