It's been a good solid year and more since I last even visited this place. I doubt it will last long. Still, there are many things here that give glimpses of my past experiences. Some I cherish, some I am want to forget. But in all, it's still interesting to visit.Work has obviously taken it's toll and I don't think much had changed. I'm still as busy as ever if not more so and Im still waiting

It's sad that after so long, my first post isn't exactly a happy one...Work is going fine really... but something was ignited inside of me, a holy dissatisfaction if you will, that got me quite stirred up.The year is coming to an end, and it's almost Christmas, but no, I don't feel all warm and fuzzy. In fact, I'm a little apprehensive about the things to come, although I'm praying hard about the

I spent a whopping $100 to catch this show, but it was worth every dollar. The show was hilarious, and the cast was awesome IMHO. The lead girl was amazing, being able to have a conversation with herself switching between two very different and unique voices. I am very impressed. The lead guy too, had a really great voice, and I'm very inspired! I wish I could sing like that. The show itself

So, the sermon was about how every breakthrough, every manifestation of the written word or Logos (becoming the living word) requires an unusual response.I think the difficulty for me, is what exactly constitutes this unusual response? That which is unusual for others, may be usual to me. That which is unusual to me, may be usual to others. I guess it refers to the context where the 'normal'

Sometimes, I don't understand myself.I don't know why I do the things I do.I don't know why I say the things I say.I don't know why I approach things the way I approach them.I don't know why I love the things and people I love.I don't know why I can't seem to find the strength.I just don't understand how or why... I think at the end of the day, I just wished I knew why I think the way I think...

Words cannot express just how grateful I am to have you as a friend. Through the times I felt down you have never failed to be there to cheer me up. Don't think that they are just words, because these words do a lot to build my self-esteem and encourage me along the way. Sometimes they also knock some sense into me, and help me become a much better person. That's something I appreciate even more

I've been getting quite a number of prods to update my seemingly defunct blog. Rest assured, I'm still very much alive and doing well. Work isn't exactly the most exciting thing to blog about at the moment, and it's more or less the only thing I have going at the moment, unless you'd like posts after posts of what is probably geek speak. So, what's been happening? First thing that comes to mind

So I've been here for a month and things are starting to pick up. I think I can say I've settled in quite comfortably, but not too comfortably that I don't feel the urge to get up and do more. So far, I've been pretty blessed by being able to finish what I have to do. Still, considering I've stayed back late a number of times in the first few weeks, it's kind of an indication that things won't be

Some things won't come back no matter how much you want them to... Like Uni life once you've graduated... I must admit working life isn't that bad... so far... and I do enjoy some of the challenges and learning experiences thus far. I get the feeling I could do pretty well. Unfortunately, it's a big change to jump into the working world, and I'm trying to adapt as quickly as I can.I should've

I'm having both at the moment, but I think Chrome, being built with a different core, is going to have the technological edge.

It's been some time since my last post, and yes I'm back from Taiwan. Went back for Chia Yong and May Tjin's wedding, and now I've shifted to my brand new apartment in Woodlands. Yes, I've officially moved out of Raffles Hall. It's quite sad now that I think about it.Still, getting my new home is really a blessing. I'm staying with my new 'homies', Ian and JJ. Rental is really reasonable, and we

Only my second Taiwan post and I'm already getting ready to go back. Taipei has been a lot less hectic than the previous parts of the trip, with mostly only shopping on the list of things to do. Places we visited: Ximending, Shilin, Taipei 101, Danshui and Liufoochun. Don't know if I missed any other place. In as few words as I can: Lots of things to see, not a lot of things that made me want to

So I've been in Taiwan almost a full week and here's a short little report on what we've done since arriving here.We touched down in Hong Kong and waited 40 minutes on Monday for our transit flight to Taipei. We finally arrived in Taiwan, and it was raining... it was about dinner time, so we just had time to check in and go for shabu shabu. We were leaving early the next day, so we hit the

For the first time... I'm actually blogging at the airport.I've read about it in other blogs, but I've never really had much of an opportunity to do it, probably because I usually don't get the chance to fly all that much. So here I am, on my way to Taiwan for my graduation trip. Exciting? Looking forward to it really. :)There really isn't all that much that I can blog about is there? After all,

Every time I come back, I have to watch myself. I'm quite glad that I'm doing quite well spiritually, but that doesn't mean I'm all that great. I have to watch myself that I don't let pride get the better of me. Still, I do feel a great burden when I see the lack of passion, the lack of hunger and the lack of seriousness when it comes to the things of God here.I feel a very heavy burden, a holy

I've always believed that we are meant to be as much like Him as possible. We're striving to imitate Him, hence we call ourselves Christians; little Christ. Being like Him doesn't mean we lose our individuality, but we He does want us to understand His heart and long for the same things as He does.I don't have to be someone else, because I know who He wants me to be...I'm just believing that as I

It's amazing how small and simple events and conversations can either make your day, or turn it upside down for you. It's only in relying on His love that one can keep going strong and putting on a smile that's genuine, because we carry His presence. This presence really helps us to keep the disappointing things to a minimum, because He helps us say the right things, make the right decisions, do

I really wonder very often, why I chose this...I noticed the flaws and the problems. I could already guess the 'logical' outcome of the situation. I could tell that this was probably not for me, that I deserved better... Yet, by faith, seeking Your guidance and wisdom, I chose Your way! I listened to Your word! I don't believe I was misguided. I ask only to reveal Your wisdom to me and show me

I screwed up... I thought I was doing fine, but I think this was a myth I created for myself... It was pierced and popped, and I realized just how inadequate I've been... There was nothing I could do really... and ironically, the only thing I can do, is to look to Him. What else could I have done? I'm not sure, but it would probably be my fault things turned out this way. This is my limit. I

I was reading about Elisha, and the Shunammite woman who made space for Him to come in and stay. It struck me in verse 28...So she said, "Did I ask a son of my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not deceive me'?"I find myself asking the same question. I didn't want any of this. I remembered clearly asking Him not to let me walk down this path if it's not meant to be. Yet, in the end, I find that whatever I

I think it's pretty decent too, so hopefully I get a good grade.Finally, my last project needs work. Group work though, so will have to complete it soon.

Still, I just wanted to stop and do nothing after that, but it's time to start picking up again.

There are some things in life that I wished I'd known much earlier. Of course, there are still many things that I have yet to learn, but I'm glad I've come a long way. I think more people ought to learn these as early in life as possible. Here's a list of some things that I believe shows you that you've grown.1) Make important decisions by yourself. Far too many people have been brought up

Yes, I'm one of those irritating people who like to ask questions to provoke thought. I like to disagree, not because I thrive on dissent, but because I believe disagreeing is a very good way to connect with people. You actually get to know what they really think instead of just 'text-book answers'. In any case, this article reflects my sentiments on disagreeing. Opinions matter, because they

You know how it is. The constant "Should I or should I not..." kind of thoughts which plague every individual. It takes a very strong person, or an idiot, to make such clear and absolute decisions. Pastor preached about it on Sunday. While this may have just been the introduction to what he actually wanted to tell us, it bears much thought as being lukewarm is exactly what makes people 'ordinary'

Definition: incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result; an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.It's when you work really hard and you only get negative results.It's when you don't work hard and you seem to get all the results.It's when your view of a just and fair world is punctured by the reality that it never

It's always a challenge to decide to walk on a path which you know may lead to failure. It's difficult enough that the path is narrow, fraught with obstacles and treacherous passes, but to realize that all that effort may count for nothing, or worse, cause you to lose something... it's not easy...All things worth pursuing come with a price, and it's the weighing of the cost versus the result

I've always liked debates. Up till this day, I'm really thankful to my secondary school English teacher for pulling me and a sizable number of my other classmates into the inter-school debate competition. While it was not perfect, and I'm not that great a debater, I actually learned a lot from that whole episode, particularly about how to tackle arguments.This article Is a very good read on

So once again, it's coming close to the release of a new version of Ubuntu. They're still staying true to the half-yearly release of distribution upgrades, and based on the beta that's been released so far, it's always getting better and better.Some of the interesting features of Hardy Heron is the use of Firefox 3.0. It's developmental, but it has already solved one of the most GLARING PROBLEMS

Note: I made this post somewhere some time back. It's a good time to remember and reflect back on it...Well, I guess after a high, there's bound to be a drop.What did you think? What did you expect? That things will work out for you overnight? That the situation will suddenly turn out perfect? That circumstances will just change to the way you want it?Expectations should be managed well, in that

You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving... And giving of yourself is serving... Thus you can serve without loving, but you cannot love without serving... So do what you can, when you can, how you can, for the people that you care for... Not even expecting anything in return although you may hope for it...For such is the attitude of one who truly loves... Not judging by mere

Tired, and a little sick...My nose seems to be acting up again. Haven't been getting enough sleep and that's not good. Feeling weak too...At least my finger's out of the splint... but it still hurts to stretch the joint, and I still need to do it. Maybe physiotherapy will help...Finger and then ankle... next is heart...?

I'm feeling a bit discouraged now...A sprained ankle two days before the finals is not something to be happy about. It might just be God's way of telling me to let it go...I was really unsure about wanting to play. I've been fighting my finger injury and was close to coming out, but I was worried all along that it may not have been something God would've wanted me to do. At this point though,

There are some things in life worth pursuing, worth fighting for... Fighting will involve the element of risk, the possibility of losing. Getting hurt would definitely be part of the process. So we often have to look at circumstances, to weigh and judge if the result is worth the risk. Sometimes, the prize seems to be very precious, but even so, the cost may be too great. We make decisions based

So I've been visiting my doctor very often lately. After two X-rays and many consultations, he referred me to a specialist, who promptly told me that I'd better put my finger back on a splint for another 6 weeks.If it doesn't heal, I'll have to go for surgery.That woke me up. It's no longer a small problem. He asked if I was fine with how the finger was... and I told him no. My left finger is

It can get frustrating when you try to do your best in whatever area it is, but end up seeing what is seemingly a fruitless venture. It's tough when putting in your best effort, believing for SOME (even if it's small) success leads only to disappointment. Hope has always been something everyone clings on to despite

I really enjoy university life and I don't want to leave it so soon!In any case, there really isn't much of a choice. The transition can be frightening, but at the same time, exciting!

The sermon today talked about focus, about how our goals have to be Specific, Measurable, come with an Action plan, Realistic, have a Time frame, be planned with Expectation management and with Revelation, or SMARTER. This sermon is pretty standard stuff, but pastor added some new parts to it at the end.We need goals so that we can focus on them, to have a place to concentrate our energy on. The

I haven't blogged about my Christmas so here's a little something. I must say it was quite nice spending it with the family. I don't really see them all that much, so I think it's very nice that I could spend some time with them. Christmas was a simple occasion for us. We went for service, which was actually really good, and then had a simple lunch, in preparation for a heavy dinner. The turkey

As a follow up on the previous post, I did an X-ray and the doctor said there are no bone fractures so it should be fine.I was a bit curious as to whether this was a common thing, and if I could find out more about it. Googling it revealed some neat information.Mallet FingerSo that's the name of the injury... "Mallet Finger"Anyway, I guess the splint will be on the next few weeks at least.

Met with Patrick. Talked about some stuff.Short story: Focus on ministry now, everything else is secondary.Long story: Apparently finding my place in ministry is different. I was taught that one has to try out a ministry before one can know if that's where they're called. Apparently for me that's not the case. I ought to already KNOW where I want to serve and what God's call is in my life and

I've been waking up everyday with a song in my head these past few days, and sometimes even when I'm just walking. Perhaps it's a side effect of having thought about what songs we could do for Phoenix. It's pretty great though that the songs that DO stay are really nice songs. I wake up pretty often with worship songs going on and on in my head. It makes it really easy to get into God's presence

Sometimes, it's difficult trying to live a life that pleases God. If you stop to think about it, what kind of a life is that? My mindset has changed and is different now, but there are still remnants of the old mindset which are a little harder to change.

I have many deadlines to meet and I've been doing what I can to complete the projects and assignments before the deadline.

I don't really know or bother much with the opinions of others, but here's my 2 cents.ActingSince it's a musical, acting should logically come first. Admittedly, the cast were not perfect, and I'm guessing there are many criticisms from different parties. I personally believe that the acting was pretty good. I might be

The past weekend was very exciting, with a lot of things being shared about the church vision. I think it's pretty amazing the amount of things that are being done in church. The various efforts by the different ministries in church are truly astounding.

Comm Hall week is over. A lot of things happened. At this point, I guess I'm looking forward to seeing how everything will turn out. As mentioned in my past two posts, It's been pretty much up and down for concert, with a very interesting climax last Friday. Apparently the first run was disastrous. Again, after much rebuking and encouragement, they managed to put up a spectacular second run. A

Concert this year seems to be shaping up a little worryingly. I'm in no position to say anything, but it's always been an activity that I feel strongly for, and it's just been interesting to see how it has progressed this year. There were problems at the initial stage with many problems cropping up which was nobody's fault. The inability to form the entire CCC before the holidays was IMHO one of

It seems that I keep getting a lot of cool offers for freelance work. Not that I think I'm all that great, but it just goes to show that there really is demand for this type of thing.I'm very keen and interested in web programming. It's really cool to look at your work and see the results of the effort you put in almost simultaneously. It's a very rewarding sort of thing to do and I feel that

I just caught Ratatouille recently, and I must say, Disney Pixar has done it again! If you haven't watched it, it's still showing and really worth the watch. The show is about a little rat that just wants to cook. Remy turns out to be an amazing chef with a keen sense of smell. He is, however, a rat, and no sane person would let a rat in a kitchen. The premise of the show is simple, and so is the

I've always wondered why things seem so complicated sometimes. No, this isn't going to be an unhappy post, but more of a self reflection type of post.Let's get it off my chest. The issue of relationships has been popping up very often recently. Conversations with people around me seem to indicate that my status is... 'surprising'. I guess it needs to be said. I somehow just don't feel the

I've always wondered why everyone migrated over from ICQ to MSN a couple of years back. I liked ICQ, and the only pro I could see from MSN was the fact that it was fast. A few years down, MSN is now SO BUGGY that it hurts just to use it. It's riddled with connection issues, and it's SLOW as ever. ICQ had a lot of cool features which MSN had to emulate, and when it had 'successfully' done so, it

To the original C&C fans, head down to this site to download the exclusive, original, FULL version of the very first C&C! I remember playing this in MS-DOS, so it's a pretty old game admittedly. Still, it's really good and absolutely addictive. Downloading the ISO would be something worth your time!Technorati Tags: C&C, Command, ConquerPowered by ScribeFire.

Life has never been better! I know that in the past, I've blogged about feeling down, or unhappy, or not as excited about life. Well, this period of my life has been almost the exact opposite! I think I'm finally experiencing the breakthrough I've been looking for. Life is once again exciting and there's so much to look forward to when I get up each morning. Spiritually, I think I've finally

It's funny. I've always thought I'd really be into gaming. Recently however, I've started to lose a lot of passion for this once extremely addictive past time.It all started back a year or two ago. I've always tried playing a lot of cool games, and I enjoyed them even if I'm probably not as strong in any of them. Games like Warcraft 3 and Ragnarok Online seem to be the only two games I can

So after using my 1 gig card on my phone for a while, I seem to encounter a slight problem with its usage. Every time I tried to copy a file into the phone / card, it complains with some 'writing' error. I was wondering if that card had a "write protect" button or setting I accidentally tripped.Thankfully, I did a quick Google and found the source of the problem. It seems that 1 gig Sandisk

There was a very interesting article I read today. It seems to explain a little about piracy, Microsoft and Linux. I'm very inclined to agree with what's said.Check it out here.Not much to say except I more or less totally agree with the author.

I was at a bookstore a couple of days back and saw this little book which caught my attention. I don't remember exactly the title, but it was basically about the possible flaws and problems with Web 2.0. While I believe Web 2.0 isn't perfect, something about the book just didn't seem to add up for me. It concentrated on the social aspect of Web 2.0 rather than the technological aspect so I'm not

Today is flag day, where all the NUS students go throughout the nation collecting donations for charity. Noble intentions indeed, until I realised that NUSSU happens to be one of the beneficiaries. I have nothing against charitable acts, but it appalls me how completely ignorant and selfish NUSSU really is. Yes, they're the highest student body in the whole of NUS, but one really wonders whether

Ok, it's not exactly the slew of posts I thought it'd be. It's been way to hectic to actually have the time to sit down and write something decent.As usual, a lot of interesting freshmen stories. Some nick names have cropped up, including banana / 'hor hor girl' and 'plaster', which seems kinda familiar IMHO. *shrug* There are also siblings, but they're all sisters, which explains why we don't

Anticipating a slew of posts with regards to this year's orientation, I'm numbering this. It's that time of year where all the freshmen come en masse to our hall. Nothing spectacular really, but it IS an opportunity to really have fun and everything. After all, it's the few times in the year where studies aren't a concern.The big worry about orientation is the same its been every year, where

I just shifted my room recently, and I've found out just how much junk I have. The amount of useless paraphernalia some people have a tendency to keep is sometimes astounding. Some of the cool things about moving or shifting is that you start finding a lot of things you thought you've already lost. It turns up and you're like "oh, so there's where you've been hiding all this while..." Some of

So how has life been since the wedding? In a way, things haven't changed all that much, but things aren't exactly the same.You see, when people get married, they leave their parents and are joined together and they become "one flesh". This basically means they are no longer two individuals, but are now considered a single entity. This has significant implications. For starters, they should now

Everything happens for a reason... or so I thought... Sometimes, when things happen to you, perhaps you should just take it at face value and simply ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. Some things happen to you prompting you to make decisions which you regret, so it would seem wise to just shrug off what happened and carry on as if it didn't.Sometimes, even though you may have thought through

Here's a copy of an email I sent to AnimeTech:Although I enjoy buying a lot of anime from your shops, I am terribly disappointed in your sales staff. Today, I visited your Mid-Valley branch. I was very interested in getting the original Fate/Stay Night DVDs, especially after enquiring about the price. Unfortunately, your staff told me that it was sold out, which was perfectly fine. I then asked

The past week or so has been rather hectic. Having a wedding is no joke, and I really underestimated the amount of preparation and time required to have everything running smoothly. My sister's been busy running everywhere making sure everything is perfect, and things haven't slowed down since. We went back to Sitiawan for a dinner on Saturday, rushed to Ipoh the next day for another dinner back

This phrase certainly sounds like a cliche, but I've learnt that all the 'cliches' are actually very good learning points, if we actually take the time to sit down and reflect upon them. Life is a very bumpy ride, with a lot of ups and downs, and plenty of monotonous straights in between. We can't help but think about certain things and worry over them; It's kind of our nature. Fortunately,

As much as I hold my country in high regard, there are a good number of things which I seriously feel it is lacking, and that's to say their not even TRYING to improve. Right now, as I am typing this up, I'll mention that it took me a whole 15 minutes to get to this point, where I can actually write something to post. It's one of the biggest thing I dislike about coming back home. To put it

You know there are times when you were thinking, hoping, expecting something, but then it ends up totally the opposite of what you thought? You know when you keep trying to be optimistic, to the point sometimes of being illogical, and then things turn out bad? You know when you sometimes tell yourself that it's a waste of time, but yet you somehow just try anyway, doing what you can and then

I'm now back in Malaysia with my parents, planning for my sister's wedding. I guess you could say I'm 'home', although that may not be very accurate. I shall explore a little of what it means to be 'home'.The initial reaction would be simply, "Where you're from." That's all fine and dandy until you realise 'from' is hard to define. I've often been asked this question, but I find it difficult to

I was just thinking about the Emerge beauty pageant and manhunt... Some of the questions they posed are very interesting... Typical of beauty pageants, but it got me thinking as to how I'd answer if those questions were posed to me.Question 1: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?Answer: Quickness to obey. If I could be quick to obey what God tells me to do, I think life

If you're wondering where I disappeared to the past few days, don't worry, I didn't abandon this place.I was spending time with God.Emerge 2007 was a spectacular conference, not so much because of the various activities that took place, but because God really revealed Himself to me throughout these four days. I took back a lot from the conference, and it was absolutely amazing.The first session

I received a mail from the university telling us to be careful to observe all copyright laws. While I do believe in upholding the law, I would bring to question certain concerns that I have for this matter.The big bulk of supposed piracy that take place here, as deduced by the email received, was surprisingly, not music, but anime.

Even though I just posted last night, I can't help but to post this today. God is really good. Even though I was down, His faithfulness and grace to bring me out of it is simply astounding. I don't know how or why He'd do it, except that He loves me, and I love Him too...So I guess walking closer to Him DOES make it easier. Sure things will get tougher, but He'll also reveal Himself more and more

It's like a snowball, it picks up more and more mass as it goes along. Things just seem to go from bad to worse...Results came out. They were below expectations. Not that they were bad, I just thought I'd do much better...Pathetic!I can count two areas in my life that aren't doing so well.

I've been trying to keep my head above the water so far, and by the grace of God, this week, I've managed to do pretty well. But good things don't last forever. The honest truth is that I'm not exactly doing so well right now. I've been praying very hard, and I know that since last weekend, my heart has been set right with God, and I've been closer to Him than I've ever been before. Still, things
