Title : You Reign

Artist : Mercy Me

Even before there was a drop in the ocean
Even before there was a star in the sky
Even before the world was put in motion
You were on Your throne
You were on Your throne

You reign
Glory in the highest
You reign
Let creation testify
By Your name
Every knee will bow
And every tongue proclaim
That Jesus Reigns

Even before Your hand made the heavens
Even before the breath of all mankind
Even before we had to be forgiven
You were on Your throne
You were on Your throne

Chorus

Yesterday, today and forever
You are God who was, and is and is to come

Chorus

Title : Finally Home

Artist : Mercy Me

I’m gonna wrap my arms around my daddy’s neck
And tell him that i’ve missed him
And tell him all about the man that i became
And hope that it pleased him
There’s so much i want to say
There’s so much I want you to know

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home

Then i’ll gaze upon the throne of the king
Frozen in my steps
And all the questions that i swore i would ask
Words just won’t come yet
So amazed at what i’ve seen
So much more than this old mind can hold

Chorus

And the sweetest sound my ears have yet to hear
Voices of the angels

Chorus

Title : Lifesong

Artist : Casting Crowns

Empty hands held high
Such a small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You

Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord, I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet

So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you

Chorus:

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Let my lifesong sing to You
(2x)

(Chorus 2x)

Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my lifesong sing to You
I want to sign your name to the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Title : Voice Of Truth

Artist : Casting Crowns

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Song Lyrics

Title : Who Am I

Artist : Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love, and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am Yours
I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

It’s been a while…

2009-06-04T01:28:00.001+08:00

It’s been a long while since my last post. I’m either lazy or I had nothing to post about. Haha… =P But usually I’m lazy. So it’s because of my laziness that there are no post for a long time.

Anyway, I finally get a break from college though it’s just one week, it’s still something. I finally manage to update the church blog. Fuh. Now that’s done, I need to get started on my work. Haha… Sad to say, though its a break yet I still have work to do. I guess I better work on it. =P

Oh yeah before I forget, Happy Gawai to everyone especially to those who celebrate. =) I didn’t go visiting this year…well it’s not like I went last year either. Heh heh. =P

Finally for the first time after more than 6 months of not playing basketball, I broke the chain last Sunday. Since nobody wanted to play badminton and Zhuo Wei is back from KL, Zhuo Wei, Zhuo Han and me went to play basketball at my school. For the first time on a Sunday the court wasn’t full. Usually every Sunday the court would be filled with outsider wanting to play. It was Zhuo Han’s first time playing this sports and Zhuo Wei taught him the basic of the game. I helped a little here and there. Hehe…=P Anyway, Zhuo Wei was doing a good job and Zhuo Han was a fast learner. I mean seriously its not bad for a first timer and in just one afternoon. =)

Moving on, Tuesday night I had spaghetti night and literally it was just spaghetti. Haha… But then there is a twist to it. It wasn’t really about the spaghetti but actually about “Taboo!” Haha… Just joking. Well since spaghetti wasn’t going to be enough to entertain my sis decided to have taboo as well. So while playing taboo we had more food. Tortilla chips with salsa sauce. Emmm… It went on till almost midnight.

Yesterday, I went to watch a movie and after such a long time not going to the cinema. I went with Zhuo Wei, Zhuo Han, Zhuo Ting, Emmilyn, Elaine Kueh and Esther Kueh. I asked Esther Ling to tag along but she didn’t want. Then I asked Elizabeth but she couldn’t go. I asked Joshua Leo and Michelle but both got plans to watch another movie. So that leaves us 7 only to watch Night At the Museum 2. Joshua’s group decided to watch Angels and Demons. Our show was suppose to start at 2.45pm but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the show got delayed. Haha.

The next show only started at 4.45pm, so we had some time to kill. We went to McDonald’s hoping to get ice-cream but unfortunately the machine wasn’t functioning. Well so much for ice-cream. After McD, we went Tun Jugah. We went for a stroll until it was almost time them we went to Star Cineplex. We saw Joshua, Dexter and Esther Chia waiting for their movie to start. Anyway, we quickly go and buy our popcorns and drinks because our show was about to start. We went in had a good time and enjoyed it. Personally for me, I enjoyed it. =)

I’ll talk about the movie another time if not this post will be a very long one but then again, by just looking at it is long itself. Haha. To cut things short, after the show Zhuo Wei couldn’t send Esther and Elaine back so he “dumped them on me” to send them back. Haha…the words he use. =P Anyway, since they had to eat out so I brought them to Asian Recipe. I’ve been there too many time. I dunno what to order just order the dish that I first ate there. I hope it was good. =) After dinner, I dropped them off at church cause they needed to attend prayer meeting and I myself went home.

So I guess that’s all. Going to play basketball again tomorrow. Woohoo! =P

One Litre Of Tears

2009-05-09T15:38:00.001+08:00

Based on a true story. This story is about a girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25.
The original story is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies. Aya's only wish was “to live." By carefully depicting Aya's earnest desire to live, and the love of her family, friends, and lover, the drama, “One Litre of Tears" wishes to deliver her simple but strong message: “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing."

~www.1litreoftears.com~

It’s a must watch show and I really recommend it. This is one of the show that manage to bring the tears out of me. If I cry that means its really good. So what are you waiting for? If you are free and you are looking for a nice good show to watch then do consider watching this show. =)

You can watch it at these places

Exams...are over! =P

2009-05-09T14:59:00.005+08:00

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! Woohoo. hehe...=P

Actually it's been a week after exams. Haha...I was lazy to blog after my exams. So I'm blogging it out now.

Tonight is the BIG night. That's right folks! It's CARRY THE CALL!!! =) A lot of people are waiting for this moment to arrive and its finally here. I can't wait. hehe...=P

This past few days, there has been some problem with my msn messenger. Everytime I try to sign in it just says, "We can't sign you in to Windows Live Messenger. Signing in to Windows Live Messenger failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later...". The thing is I have been trying all kinds of method but sadly none of them works. I tried uninstalling the messenger, repairing, checking others like the connection, and the Internet and so on. But I got nothing. So it's been a few days since I've sign in. I tried logging in on other computer and it works. I dunno why mine doesn't. Sigh*... =(

Nevermind, hopefully it'll work soon.

Since I couldn't sign in, I just do other stuff like downloading albums. I downloaded about 70 albums like that. Haha...=P Crazy me. I'm now downloading a Japanese drama it's called "One Litre Of Tears". Hopefully it will be done soon. =)

My Birthday

2009-04-11T13:23:00.005+08:00

Nothing much really happened for my birthday. First part...

3rd April 2009

I had the usual programme from morning till evening. Go school, study and you get the idea already. Anyway at night was a bit different though. My home group "Corner Stones", were having dinner at my place so since my birthday was the next day, I decided to celebrate with my home group. I invited 3 more people but only 1 out of the 3 manage to turn up. Haha... Don't worry ya there is still next year. The 3 that I invited were Jeanette, Elaine and Esther Kueh. Only Elaine manage to turn up though and I hope that she didn't feel left out because she was the youngest there. Sorry Elaine if you feel left out.

We had dinner and after that, we had...

TABOO

It was a really really fun game and I really really mean that its a fun game. =P We had a lot of fun but sadly Elaine couldn't join us cause she told her mum to come at 9.30pm so she just missed it cause we were just about to start. Nevermind that Elaine you get your chance next time. =) We really enjoyed ourselves as we were shouting till we were running out of voice. Haha... We played till almost midnight. It was just so much fun. Hehe...

Next...

4th April 2009

Nothing special happened also. I had a normal day. Haha... Yeah, I know I know. Your birthday is suppose to be a special day but I guess mine was pretty normal for a special day. Hahah... Before youth, I went to eat my dinner at Asian Recipe. I dunno how many time I have been there already. The waitresses knew that we were coming to eat at the restaurant the moment they saw us so they immediately open the door though my mum and I were still quite far. Haha...talk about being efficient. After dinner, we quickly went home cause they were a few things that I needed to bring to youth.

Tic Tok Tic Tok.........Time passes........... After youth......

After almost everyone went home, I went back myself and at home I, Del text messaged me wishing a happy birthday. So I called her, I haven't talked to her for quite a while. We both ended up talking for 50 minutes. Wow. She said if I didn't call then she wouldn't have said a single word for 24 hours. I was like WHOA...that's crazy. Haha...

Anyway, I don't want to say so much afterwards my post becomes like an essay. Hahahaha....=P

Sorry if there are no pictures. I didn't take any at that time.

A Sight of Beauty

2009-04-11T13:04:00.005+08:00

Just something random I would like to share. =) I have always been amazed at looking at the moon. It's another wonderful and beautiful creation of God which calms my heart everytime I look at it especially when I gaze upon a full moon.

Here are two pictures that I manage to get at the moment.

A wonderful sight that shines over the land at night.

It never seize to amaze me

I guess thats all for this post.

A Scary Experience...

2009-04-10T20:15:00.004+08:00

Sorry if I haven't been updating. Nothing much to blog about till recently something really scary happened last Tuesday.

Why I say something really scary happened last Tuesday???

Wait and find out...

Last Tuesday was like every other weekdays, attending class having lunch with fellow course mates as always but something unusual happened on that fateful evening that made me terrified.

4 of us(3 of my course mates and me) were having class that evening from 4 till 5.30pm were having BM class at the block next to IMH(International Music House). It wasn't long after we started our class something terrifying happened. We were having our class like normal times when all of a sudden lightning struck. It was so sudden and it was very loud, my teacher got a shock of her life.

At that moment when it struck, the building blackout and only to find that the switches blew. We looked out side, people were telling us that the lightning struck the building and when we looked at the back near the parking lot for the car dealers, we could see pieces of cement on the road. So everyone quickly evacuated the building. It was so scary. If you see the place where the lightning struck, it struck exactly on the cable cord on the building which was very near the class the I was in. I couldn't imagine if the lightning actually struck the class. One word that I can use to describe it... SCARY!!!

After evacuation, we went to the IMH building. Took shelter, and waited till the electric came back on then we resumed our class in the common room. If you are wondering where is that, it's on the first floor of IMH right next to the auditorium. It usually where the Higher Learning students sort of hang out before the next class. Anyway, I was just terrified after that incident.

Song: I Just Want You
Artist: Planetshakers

More than a nice melody
More than the sweetest of word's
This is the love I have found
And with this love I am found

I just want you Jesus
I just want you my Lord
I just want you Jesus
I just want you

Never could I comprehend
The love you so freely give
Never could I be with you
But your love covers all of my sin

I just want you Jesus
I just want you my Lord
I just want you Jesus
I just want you

There is no greater love than your's
Nothing else could ever compare
And even if I search all the world
I will never find a love like your's God

There is no greater love than your's
Nothing else could ever compare
And even if I search all the world
I will never find a love like your's

I just want you Jesus
I just want you my Lord
I just want you Jesus
I just want you, Jesus!

Role Playing Game(RPG)

2009-03-07T16:45:00.011+08:00

A new game I'm playing. The title of the game is Wild Arms 4. The story only involves 4 characters, so throughout the whole game, you only have 4 characters.

Front Coverart

The story...

Jude Maverick has grown up in isolated town called Ciel, which is completely enclosed in a large sphere floating thousands of feet above the surface of Filgaia. His sheltered world changes forever when he sees the sky "tear" and ships entering his homeland. Upon inspecting the camp site set up by the intruders, he sees something that he has never seen before; a girl.

The girl's name is Yulie and she is being held captive by the intruders after being captured by a "Drifter" for hire, Arnaud G. Vasquez. After the invading army attacks Ciel and brings the whole sphere crashing down, Jude, Yulie and Arnaud join forces to find out the army's true intention behind Yulie's abduction. With the help of another Drifter, Raquel, these four idealistic teenagers travel the war-torn land of Filgaia in search of the truth, their identities and their individual paths to adulthood.

Game play/Battle System

Unlike the standard RPG battle system, this game is different. It uses the HEX battle system and it is a totally different experience.

New innovative Hex battle system like nothing seen before

The HEX battle system is composed of 7 hexagons on the battle field, with random beginning placement for all characters and enemy. What makes the HEX battle so unique is that it is area based instead of character based. This means that any attacks or spells to a given hexagon, or HEX, will affect all enemies or character on that HEX. Multiple enemies or allies can be present on a single HEX, but enemies and allies cannot both occupy the same HEX.

By grouping more than one of your party members into a single HEX, you can use heal item or spell on the HEX to heal all party members together. Combination attacks are also possible when multiple party members are on the same HEX. However, should an enemy attack a specific HEX, all party members in that HEX will take damage.

If some of your party members are on the same HEX that gets poisoned by the enemy, you can decide to cure the HEX or move your characters away to another HEX that has not been poisoned to avoid the status ailment.

A Sad Farewell.

2009-02-24T23:02:00.006+08:00

Yesterday it was a sad day for many as an aunty of mine had pass away. It was so sudden. A few days ago my family and I visited her to say hello because we heard that she was emitted to hospital. So we decided to just go and wish her well. In just a few days, she has now gone, to be with the Lord. She left behind a her husband, children, brothers, sisters, family members, relatives and friends. It is indeed a sad a moment but we should also be happy for she didn't have to suffer anymore. All this while, she was suffering in a lot of pain and everyday it was just torture if she didn't take her pain killer. Yet even with her suffering condition, she still remained strong in the Lord and still managed to smile. She was a really wonderful person. We are all gonna miss you aunty especially your family. I just like to wish uncle and the family to be strong in the Lord and continue to look to the Him always. For He will always be with you by your side where ever you are. Lastly, I would like to say my condolence to uncle and the family, and family members of aunty for the loss of a a wife to uncle, mother to her children, sister to brothers and sisters, daughter to her parents and to other family members respectively. Today was the funeral service and the burial. I only manage to go for the funeral service because I had class to attend. Anyway, I just want to say my condolences once again to the family members. Aunty has gone to a better place. She will be missed by loved ones and friends. Our parting will only be momentarily. We will meet again when the time comes with the Lord. Farewell aunty.

SUDOKU

2009-02-07T14:55:00.003+08:00

Recently I tried playing Sudoku and I actually found it fun but its so sad that I didn't get to buy the books when Doulos was here. They had a whole stack of it. I only started to play after the Doulos left. Well, there is nothing I can do now. The ship has left and I don't know where I can buy the book. Most definitely it can be found at the bookstore. I dunno. I'll just have to go and check. Haha...=P

I don't know...

2009-02-06T20:43:00.004+08:00

I don't know what I should say...
I don't know what I should do...
I don't know what I should feel...
I don't know what I should think...
I don't know what I should hear...

I don't know if I should cry...
I don't know if I should be sad or happy...
I don't know if I should hold it back...
I don't know if I should just forget about it...
I don't know if I should be bothered...

I don't know how I should react...
I don't know how it will happen...
I don't know how it will be...
I don't know how it will work out...
I don't know how it will turn out...

I don't know when it will happen...
I don't know when it will be...

.......God......help me....

Title : A Little Too Not Over You
Artist : David Archuleta

(eh eh eh oh eh eh eh
eh eh eh oh eh eh eh)

It never crossed my mind at all
That's what I tell myself
What we had has come and gone
You're better off with someone else
It's for the best,
I know it is
But I see you
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside

[Pre-Chorus]
And I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

[Chorus]
Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you
(eh eh eh oh eh eh eh)
Not over you
(eh eh eh oh eh eh eh)

Memories
Supposed to fade
What's wrong with my heart?
Shake it off, let it go
Didn't think it be this hard
Should be strong
Moving on
But I see you
Sometimes I try to hide
What I feel inside

And I turn around
You're with him now
I just can't figure it out

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

[Bridge]
Maybe I regret
Everything I said
No way to take it all back, yeah
Now I'm on my own
How I let you go
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
Yeah, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooooooh
Oh
Ooooh, oh

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
I'm just a little too not over you

Tell me why
You're so hard to forget
Don't remind me
I'm not over it
Tell me why
I can't seem to face the truth
And I really don't know what to do

I'm just a little too not over you
(eh eh eh oh eh eh eh)
Not over you
(eh eh eh oh eh eh eh)

2009-01-13T20:55:00.009+08:00

Today is my second day into my studies. For those that still do not know where I'm studying, I'm currently studying at IMH (International Music House). I'll be there for 3 more years I think. I just started officially on Monday. It was nothing much. My first class was Ethnomusicology. Basically that class is about traditional instruments. There are two classes. One is the practical part and the other is lecture. Anyway, my teacher couldn't start the lesson because there were a few students who didn't come, so my teacher didn't want to have repeat what he has explained again the following week.

Anyway, today I had my english and bahasa melayu class. I was shocked at my english class. Not only me but my teacher too. She poped out a question asking the whole class who has taken MUET (Malaysian University English Test). I was one of those who has taken and to her suprise, she was a bit shocked when she heard that I got a band 5 for my MUET. When she asked the others, the highest was band 3 and some haven't even sat for it. I was like o...k...a...y. I can't believe that I was the only one with a band 5 in that class. Moving along, the next class was bahasa melayu. What was more suprising was that it wasn't really bahasa but actually pendidikan moral. I was like w...h...a...t... I can't believe that I would have to sit for it again. Just when I thought that I wouldn't have to see that subject in my life ever again, well guess again. Haih...

I hope that I'll start my keyboard lessons tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to learning instruments and playing them. I love to play instruments but I don't really like performance because I get really nervous. Anyway, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Take it a day at a time. Haha...=P

Ooo...I just looked at my schedule and I'm having computer music tomorrow. Woo hoo... I can't wait. =P Ohw yeah, I just remembered. I went to ask the staff about the price of a trombone. I got a little shocked. Haha... =P The price of the trombone is RM 2140... T-T I'm only poking more holes into my mums purse and bank. I'm so sorry.

Title: Safe and Sound
Artist: Mercy Me

No more boarding up my windows
So that I can lay low
Nobody's home
No more trying to run away from
Tired of being afraid of
What I can't control
The hardest part
I'm always told
Is letting go

[Chorus]:
Safe and sound knowing that You're big enough to
Wrap around my heart completely
Safe and sound just knowing that You know me

I can finally set my heart free
Lost within the mystery
Of this love I've found
There is nothing that can pull me
From the hand that holds me
I'm safe and sound
The hardest part
I'm always told
Is letting go

Safe and sound knowing that You're big enough to
Wrap around my heart completely
Safe and sound just knowing that You know me

The greatest part now I know
Is letting go

If Only

By the way, this is not a song. I wrote this in memory of my late father.

If only you were here today,

If only you were here till this very day,

I would have wished you Happy Birthday.

If you were still here,

I wonder where would I be,

Would I still be here?

If I could wish for you to stay longer,

I would have wished for you to stay for another year,

Or even more than a year.

I can only imagine,

Imagine how it would be,

If only you were still here.

Even though you are not here,

I know that you are watching over me,

Watching me from above.

Though I became worse,

You did not forsake me,

Yet showed me love.

You have my gratitude,

But a thank you is not enough for what you have done,

The things you have done in my life.

Though you are not here,

I know that you are safe,

Safe in His arms you will be.

To my late father, whom I miss so dearly. The Lord has called you to be with Him, and I know that you are safe. Safe in His arms up in the heavens above. I can't thank you enough for what you have done in my life. And I want to say that I love you so much. Happy Birthday Daddy!!! I love you!!!

Title: I Can Only Imagine
Artist: Mercy Me

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By Your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When Your face
Is before me
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

[Chorus]:
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
When I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeahh
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still?
Will I stand in Your presence, to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine, yeahhh
I can only imagine

I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all i will do
Is forever
Forever worship you
I can only imagine...

I did it!!! =P

After trying countless times changing my background display with different kinds of templates, my efforts have finally paid off. =) The results are as you see. The main problem I faced was the figuring out what code is for what. =P It almost took me the whole night just trying to figure out how it works. I couldn't finish doing it last night. So, I continued this morning and now I'm done...well not now as in now but earlier on. =P I'm satisfied with the result though it cost me the deletion of my HTML files, pictures and links. It's ok though because those can be added back in again. =)

In the afternoon, while typing some paper work, I was searching for an mp3 widget to add to my blog. I searched all afternoon just trying to find one player that is usable for blog websites, simple to use and that has a playlist. I kept finding but no luck. Its not that I cannot find but I had to go through a lot of things before I can get the player like registering, making my file, my own playlist and etc. I did try a few times but it was quite troublesome because I can't figure out how to add the songs and even if they explained in the website, they'll introduce you to a website to create your playlist which turns out to be a paysite. So in order to create your playlist, you'll have to go to the paysite to register and pay just to upload a couple of your songs. Don't you think its troublesome? I think so. Anyway, after searching and looking far and wide for a player, finally I found a player but it ain't no ordinary player. The player that I found can actually search for your songs that you want to hear on the spot. Neat aye. =P You can also listen to the radio, watch video and even play games. Haha...wow. But my computer doesn't have the function to do so. So I can only listen to music. That is good enough for me. =) Cool aye. Heh heh...=P

Farewell!!!

2009-01-06T17:07:00.021+08:00

Sunday, 10 minutes pass 7 a.m. The largest floating bookshop set sail. Its a time where those who were there, said their final farewell to the 94 years old(soon to be 95 years old) ship. The ship that has set sail throughout Asia, Australasia and Africa will soon retire. Within 2 more years wait... 1 more year the once known Doulos will no more set sail. What will happen to it? I don't know. The only thing I know is that the new ship The Logos Hope may replace the Doulos in service by 2010.

Those who would like to know more about the ship then you can visit the website:http://www.gbaships.org/

Last Sunday was a sad day indeed for many especially those who has worked together and who came to know the people on board and to made friends. I will miss the friendship that I have made with the staff members be it from the book-ex, catering, accommodation, deck staff or engine room staff. I really miss everyone. =)

I really hoped that the Doulos would be able to stay longer till the 12th of January but things didn't turn out good. First, they couldn't get permission to dock in an undisclosed country which was bad enough so they tried to get permission from the Malaysian government to stay longer till the 12th but it was not granted as well; unfortunately. It was indeed sad because some of the staff wanted to visit the undisclosed country cause it'll be their first time but then you know what happens next. They didn't get the permission to dock there. Since they couldn't go to that country, they decided to stay in Kuching longer before going off to Cebu, Philippines. They didn't mind but like i said, they couldn't get the permission to dock longer. And again, they were sad but they were fine with it. So they had to leave the port by the 3rd of January, but then they had to delay their departure because they had to wait for one of the staff member who went to get the ship's permission to dock in Cebu, Philippines.

So, yeah they had to leave by 7 in the morning the following day. My sister and I went to visit them and to say our farewell to them. We went at about roughly 6.30a.m. more or less. When we reached the port the usual entrance to the place was closed and there was a sign that said to go to the main entrance and my sis didn't know where it was. She almost gave up until some other drivers who also wanted to say their farewells came to the entrance where we went. So we asked an uncle and he told us where the main entrance was so we kinda followed but then he took a really short cut. That uncle actually went over the divider with his 4 wheels. Wow, haha... my sis was using her 4 wheel car too at that time but my sister didn't go over the divider. So then we had to go around the roundabout. The long way but it was fine as long as we could reach our destination.

We manage to reach the main entrance and to be on time before their departure. We saw quite a number of people around the key port. Only a hand full of volunteers manage to show up. Most of the volunteers were not able to make it because they went back to their colleges cause a new semester has started for them so they needed to be back in their dormitory before their classes starts. Its sad that they couldn't be there to say their goodbyes but it couldn't be helped either.

Anyway, while we were waiting for the time for them to sail off, not many of the staff members came to say farewell. The catering staff were working so only 1 or 2 came to say goodbye then they had to go and work cause they have to prepare breakfast for the whole ship. Imagine feeding give and take 350 stomachs. Fuh... talking about hard work. =P I won't know how it feels cause I didn't work in the catering department. The engine staff on the other hand had to work so they couldn't say their goodbyes and if they aren't working they will be sleeping because looking after the engine is no joke (24 hours non stop). As for the bookshop staff, most of them are either sleeping or doing something else, I'm not sure what though... =P Maybe most of them are just sleeping. I don't know. =P Maybe its because they had a tiring day the day before. I heard from a friend from the ship, he said that they had to do pulling for 12 hours. That's really long.

When we were there at the port they were just about to put the gangway up on the crane deck. That was about 6.50a.m. Exactly 7a.m. they started to release the ropes tied to the port. They were actually on time. Slowly the ship drifted away from the port with the help a tug boat. You can slowly see the ship moving away from the port and when the ship reached a certain angle, the propeller of the ship started to spin. By that time it was 7.10a.m. Slowly the ship started to move and slowly we saw it staring to get smaller. Finally the ship left us for good. It won't be coming back to Kuching anytime soon, well not for the Doulos. It will be going out of commission soon as in within 1 to 2 years time. The next time they come it'll probably be the new ship, the Logos Hope. It'll be much bigger than the Doulos but I don't know how much bigger. =P

Finishing what I have to say, by 7.20a.m. the ship was far from our sight and some of the people started to leave including my sister and I. We would love to stay on till the ship could be seen no more but unfortunately we had to be in church by 7.30 or slightly later because I needed to be there at the warm up session. My church choir was singing that day...so yeah I was one of them singing in the choir. So we had to leave earlier. Well that's about it.

Farewell Doulos, I'm really gonna miss you and the staff members too!
God bless all the members working on the ship. May God prosper you in many ways! =)

No!!!! =(

Its so sad. The Doulos will not be staying till the 12th of January. Its really sad that they can't stay on longer. I was really looking forward to their stay here but unfortunately they weren't able to get permission or approval from the government to stay longer. So the ship will be leaving on the 4th but I will not say that it is official. Who knows that suddenly they are allowed to continue to stay. I can only say one thing, by God's grace, if they are allowed to stay on till the 12th then praise be to the Lord but if they are still not allowed to stay then praise be to the Lord too. If God's plan is for them to go earlier then shall it be done for it is God's will that they go earlier.

When the Doulos leaves, many friends will be missed. Friends from different races, languages, background,culture, country and continent. All will be greatly missed. For friendship was not made in a day but the time that were spent together to build a relationship to becoming friends and also to communicate. I'm really gonna miss all the friends that I have met on the Doulos. I hope that in the near future we would be able to meet again.

The time I spent working together with the staff wasn't in vein nor was it a waste of time. Infact, I enjoyed myself a lot and wished if I could stay longer but then I can't because I'll be starting my studies this month about the 10th or so I think. I really wished I could join for a longer period for the STEP programme. Probably the Doulos would not be sailing by the time I finish my studies. By then the Logos Hope would be sailing already. Then I hope to be able to join the ship for a short period.

I really miss working in the bookshop. I really had great and wonderful time working together with the other volunteers and the staff members of the ship especially the staff members from the book-ex. I enjoyed woking in the bookshop because it was fun. You get to read books in the bookshop, interact with other people beside the staff and also get to play with the walkie-talkie. =P Although it is actually not allowed.

Overall, I'm really gonna miss everyone that I have met during my time when I was working or just walking around buying stuff. I'm also gonna miss the food. Haha... =P I actually enjoyed the food on the ship. Interesting. Anyway, I hope to meet you guys in the near future.

God Bless!!! =)

Happy New Year!!!!! =)

2009-01-01T23:42:00.003+08:00

Wow, its been a long time since I wrote a post. Ever since the last post, I didn't have the chance to write and even if I did have time I was just plain lazy to think of what to write. Haha... =P

Anyway, since the time I paused my blogging session, time flew very fast. From preparing for the mock exams to sitting for the public exams to working on the Doulos and now a new year has come.

My time in From 6 was a great time though with the ups and downs that we went through. I just want to say that it was great to have you guys as my friends. If I were not to join From 6, I wondered...how my life would be like now not knowing you guys. Guys, I know very well that I'm not a perfect person and I have my flaws and I also know that I make mistakes. So I just want to ask you with my sincere heart that you'll forgive me of my wrongs and I also want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being patient with me and baring with me. I wish all of you the best in life! =)

A year has come and a year has gone. One moment we were still having school and classes, the next moment we have finshed our exams and are going our own separate ways. Now the the year of 2008 has left us and the year of 2009 has welcomed us. Time to start a new leaf. =)

May God continue to bless you! =)
Finally, I just want to say

HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!!! =)

Wedding Day!! (28th June)

2008-06-29T18:25:00.002+08:00

The day has finally come, the marriage of two couples. Julian and Ninh together with Jemima and Alex. Congratulations to Julian and Jemima on this wonderful occasion!!! =) Indeed it has been a blessing to the both of them as God has provided them with a partner.

Well, the day started with my sis sending my mum to school while I was at home watching astro. =P Ate breakfast...just milo and biscuits. After that...my sis and I quickly got ourselves ready. Then we went to pick my mum from her school and from there we went straight to church. At that time it was about 9.30a.m. but the wedding only starts at 10.30a.m. My sis had to be in church earlier cause she is one of the singers for the wedding together with Disney and Diana accompanied by the pianist who is Sharon.

We waited for the bride for quite a while. When they arrived, the singers sung the song I will be here by "Stephen Curtis Chapman" as they walked in. It wasn't the best but it was quite good. It was a nice song to use for the walking in of the brides. Well, I'll just let some photos do the talking.

Alex and the best men

Julian and the best men

Ninh and her dad

Jemima and her mum

Moving along, in the afternoon there wasn't much to do. Then as evening arrived, my family and I prepared ourselves for the dinner which was held at riverside. Overall the food wasn't bad; about 8 dishes were served. During dinner, my table was suppose to be youngsters but thanks to my sis I had to sit at a table full of adults. Haih*... Anyway, good thing my friend Jia Wern was sitting with me. At least I had company. As the night progressed, the adult at my table left one by one, so...that left me and Jia Wern with more food!!! =P Agan ,later, joined our table to sit with his buddies. Who? Us of course. Haha...=P At least we had an extra person to help us finish the food if not it'll be kinda wasting. At the end, our table from 7 adults 2 were left. Anyway, I had a good day.

Congratulations once again to Julian and Ninh, Jemima and Alex. God bless you!!! =)

Guys Night!!! Woohoo... =P

2008-06-22T13:17:00.002+08:00

My youth yesterdy was having guys and girls night. The guys gathered at Mr. James house while the girls gathered at my house. The girls were having some interesting activities but the guys being guys had fun. My cousin brought his xbox 360 and the guys were playing halo 3 but I on the other hand was waiting for my friend to bring his ps2 so that we could play tekken 5. Hehheh...=P Unfortunately my friend came much later. So we didn't manage to play earlier.

Anyway, while some of them were on their apple laptop...O.o most of them went in the the tv room to watch a show. What show? Well it was... Kung Fu Panda!!!! =P Haha...they had popcorn while watching the movie. As for me, I was shotting away in halo 3. =P I manage to hold my title in the game with double the amount of kills and winning the game one after another. =)

Earlier on, those that I mention were on their apple laptop soon started to play mahjong. I don't how many games they played though. I was so into halo 3 that time. Moving on,the guys that were watching the movie finished about 9.30p.m. lika that then my friend who brought the ps2 went to set it up in the tv room. I helped to set it up so that we get to play tekken 5 faster. Hehe...=P After setting it up, of course immediately we played. My friend was bullying me in the game cause he got practice where as I haven't touched a ps2 since I don't know. =P

Anyway, I had a good time. Well like...duh! =P Of course I had a good time with my friends of course.

Creative Night! =)

2008-06-15T15:43:00.006+08:00

Yesterday I went for the youth meeting in my church. We were having creative ministry night. It was interesting cause we had to act out the action so that it fits with the lyrics of the song and we would have to be creative in coming up with funny action...well duh. =P Some of the groups were really funny and some...well not some but one group was kinda lame. XD Well... I happened to be in that lame group but it doesn't matter cause we are doing for the joy and fun of doing it together with friends and thats all that matter to enjoy with each other. =) In the end, everyone had a good time. Then after youth we had supper which was prepared by one of the home groups. Thank you aunties and uncles who helped prepare the food!!! =)

Welcome to my blog. I thought at first that I couldn't be bothered to make my own blog but then...tada! =) Here I am with my new blog. As a starter, I would just like to say that if I happened to mention something or anything that may have hurt/angered anyone, I apologise in advanced. Anyway, Peace! brotha' and sistah'! =)
