Perhaps this is called &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;change&lt;/span&gt;. I have yet to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;embrace&lt;/span&gt; what I have gained, still holding on to the &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;small &lt;/span&gt;things. This has made me sad, but I have no regrets because the more I lose, the more I know that moments like this will never repeat. A lot of people say go on and continue life. Life is like that. Things change. To be honest I choose to &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"&gt;hold on&lt;/span&gt;. But not to hold on to the moments I missed. It is to hold on, to the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;hearts &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; feelings &lt;/span&gt;that we used to share. I know everyone is &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;busy&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;busy&lt;/span&gt; to the point that everything becomes difficult. People say distance makes the heart &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 255);"&gt;fonder&lt;/span&gt;... but at the same time, I see a lot of &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;broken&lt;/span&gt; relationships too as a result. To &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;make&lt;/span&gt; or to &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;break&lt;/span&gt;, ultimately is our choice after all. The key is &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;priority&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;initiative&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much time do we have? It doesn't matter. What matters is what have we done.. Have we &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;impacted&lt;/span&gt; each others lives?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Being &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 51);"&gt;busy&lt;/span&gt; and all doesn’t make you important. Yet friends look for you. You could do the same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;poor&lt;/span&gt; and all doesn’t make you important. Yet friends don’t desert you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, when you &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;lack&lt;/span&gt;, friends will be there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real meaning of friendship is more than just having fun but by being there. &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;Fun just follow&lt;/span&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 115%;font-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Friendship is not an “I owe you“ relationship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;It is everything else:&lt;br /&gt;" I love you"-------------------&lt;br /&gt;" I care about you"------------How are you?

is acceptance, beyond a &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;No&lt;/span&gt; is rejection.

You sit there and the days slowly pass. Seriously..it's damn boring. It makes people restless. That's how I feel. I have been without computer for days. Well, I use them in Uni and my friends but it's not a personal computer. It makes a lot of difference. After the fall of my laptop, my usb drive becomes so important! All my assignments are there. God forbid there shall be no more hardware failure from now on. =). Despite that, I'm trying not to complain. People say, if the old one's don't go, how can the new one's come right? loL. I'm looking forward to it! I've been waiting for a month... and I'm still persevering.haha.

I have many things to write. As random as they can be, it just means that I have many thoughts. I am going to pen them down, right here right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is blogs worth it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blogs now are not just a diary. It need not be a diary. Now, it is an open space to spill out thoughts. In fact anything the writer writes or expresses knowing that anyone could read it, constitutes blogging.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Some people think that blogging is a waste of time.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;-&lt;span style=""&gt;         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;Reason being, they think a blog is a diary. But, the inability to write down every part of your private life and emotions because of privacy reasons makes it pointless. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But, they need to know that blogging has evolved. Different writers have different styles of writing. This does not only involve the topics. But, also the way writers buildup their ideas for others to have a good picture of what the blogger wants to portray. Now there are photo blogs, shopping blogs, travel logs, business blogs, personal blogs and blogs that write about everything. The beauty of it is, it is unofficial, yet it gives widespread publicity. A lot of people read blogs! Despite negative feedback from protective governments, blogging is becoming more and more popular. Good and interesting bloggers are becoming celebrities. This is the irony. A person working so hard can only earn so much, but a person writing as a hobby might become rich and famous.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Blogging is not the same anymore. It has no identifiable target because its scope is so wide. It touches everything. It can’t be ignored anymore. Businesses are having blogs. Governments are trying to control bloggers.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Blogging is not the next big thing. Blogging is THE BIG THING now. Just so you know, Dr Mahatir of &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Malaysia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; has a blog too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;_____________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Giving is blessing, be it encouragement, a smile, gifts or help. It lifts another person, makes their day and shows your character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To give or not to give?&lt;br /&gt;How much to give?&lt;br /&gt;People are always told to give. It's a one sided thing. What if, the problem does not lie in giving? It lies in receiving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How are people going to give if you refuse to receive? Likewise how are you going to give if they do not want to receive?&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SFlJGyl_fWI/AAAAAAAAALM/VsawxdBj1ok/s1600-h/giving_receiving.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SFlJGyl_fWI/AAAAAAAAALM/VsawxdBj1ok/s320/giving_receiving.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213278424667225442" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Every time &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;giving&lt;/span&gt; occurs, there must be another person at the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;receiving&lt;/span&gt; end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People always think that only the poor, the very sick can receive. That is not the case. In fact, all that is in need can receive, be they rich or poor. If only the poor can receive, the world would have been stunted and would have growth retarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Encourage the poor and help them. They will gain the strength to stand by themselves. After that does that mean you stop giving? They might not need money, they might need encouragement because after all, a successful person, no matter what their background are still human."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The needy can receive. The poor can receive. The rich can receive. Everyone can give and receive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving : "He is no fool who &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;gives&lt;/span&gt; what he cannot keep to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;gain&lt;/span&gt; what he cannot lose". Among all things, God promised to throw open the floodgates of heaven and &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;pour out so much blessing&lt;/span&gt; that you will not have enough room for it if they trust him and bring the whole tithe to the storehouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In both statements, he who gives receives. Therefore if you give you have to learn how to receive. It is just natural.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-6331318893463318863?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/6331318893463318863/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=6331318893463318863' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6331318893463318863'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6331318893463318863'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2008/06/i-havent-written-on-this-paper-for-so.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SFlJGyl_fWI/AAAAAAAAALM/VsawxdBj1ok/s72-c/giving_receiving.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-7279222437664578575</id><published>2008-05-13T21:54:00.011+08:00</published><updated>2008-05-13T23:24:49.290+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Accepting responsibilities as a part of life</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SCmw0taSFGI/AAAAAAAAAK8/aLKKbvRQxrQ/s1600-h/malach_gop_responsibility_1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SCmw0taSFGI/AAAAAAAAAK8/aLKKbvRQxrQ/s320/malach_gop_responsibility_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199881664365466722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responsibility is something everybody has. Responsibility have weight and their weight varies on different people. Sometimes different circumstances lead us to judge that we have a lot of responsibilities.. OR .. that responsibility is too big for me to handle. Then it becomes a burden. Of course we manage that in many different ways... sadly these are the most common. We do not take it seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SCmtvtaSFFI/AAAAAAAAAK0/TelRG_L0R8w/s1600-h/responsibility.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/SCmtvtaSFFI/AAAAAAAAAK0/TelRG_L0R8w/s320/responsibility.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199878279931237458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At times, we totally shift it to another person. We say we delegate tasks.&lt;br /&gt;At times, we try to run away by belittling your responsibility. For example, with "with or without me things will turn out fine".&lt;br /&gt;At times we just try to do the minimum to get things done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think there are two ways of looking at it.&lt;br /&gt;Responsibilities Versus life&lt;br /&gt;&amp;amp;&lt;br /&gt;Responsibilities And life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some people think that responsibilities cause their life to be harsh, troubled and not as good as others. Because of this, they try to drop all their responsibilities. They resort to alcohol, mess up public properties and sometimes they do nothing at all. Just eat and sleep. The problem is, responsibilities are part of life. They are not against each other but they are a part of life. If you have no responsibilities, what would you be doing? Seriously ask yourself this question. Of course now that you have responsibilities you would say I wish I had none, so that I can do anything I want. But when you don't have responsibilities, you won't know what you want and what to do. You won't appreciate things. For example, during the holidays. Some people are free. So free. They really don't know what to do. They go to find jobs. They pick up the responsibility themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People need responsibilities, big or small because they are a part of life.&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;On a lighter note.

Basically I've been busy. Not to say I'm hardworking studying, spending time in the library and so on.. but I'm getting really worked out mentally and physically. There's been lots of activities, involving food, friends and fun. Of course, all that costs money... but does that really count? As long as you don't spend indiscriminately it should be okay and you should have provisions  to satisfy your other needs such as food and an occasional drink outside with friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weird isn't it. I'm not working part time,..but then I'm tired. Spending time with friends are tiring, might cost money but relationships that last is irreplaceable. &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;Friends are burdens that you can sit on after carrying them for a while&lt;/span&gt;. haha * Can you see the picture * &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;I&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;'m not saying that you be a friend cause you expect something but rather I'm saying that as friends, we are dependent on each other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;dependent For what? Well.. for several reasons. We have different characters, opinions based on the different backgrounds we grew up in and the current lifestyles that we live in. There's a saying that goes the opposite attracts.=p But that does not apply only to gender. It can apply to other things. One example could be food consumption. haha. Some people would be more than happy to finish off the food left by a friend because the friend can only consume that much.We can complement what our friends lack. =D. Of course common interests is also important to start communication.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVSOaXZsI/AAAAAAAAAKM/-hU1aK1l0dM/s1600-h/P1010957.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVSOaXZsI/AAAAAAAAAKM/-hU1aK1l0dM/s320/P1010957.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185214686325860034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVSeaXZtI/AAAAAAAAAKU/1B4n8FXcv5E/s1600-h/P1010980.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVSeaXZtI/AAAAAAAAAKU/1B4n8FXcv5E/s320/P1010980.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185214690620827346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVS-aXZuI/AAAAAAAAAKc/Ggp6qXUkfNM/s1600-h/P1010973.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVS-aXZuI/AAAAAAAAAKc/Ggp6qXUkfNM/s320/P1010973.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185214699210761954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVTOaXZvI/AAAAAAAAAKk/pUgbfplChP4/s1600-h/P1010961.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R_WVTOaXZvI/AAAAAAAAAKk/pUgbfplChP4/s320/P1010961.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185214703505729266" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=P As you can see the photo's are taken during my Canning college graduation night at Sheraton hotel on the 28th March.

It was really bad. Within a few days you can see the skin peeling off. Some people said that I was red.. not dark. What!! oh well. Guess that's what happens when you go to an Australian Beach under the Australian Sky without sunblock. Direct sunlight hurts! Despite being sunburn.. I still had fun in the beach. The water was cold and I got to play frisby and learned how to throw the football. I remember that this was easter Monday because the day after this, Darrel went to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;=P.

Now I know whats tag... last year I think, Yan Hua tagged and I just ignored it cause I thought it was something like saying hi. haha guess it's different. So.. being tagged currently by 3 people. I guess its smart to be lagging a bit. Instead of doing it 3 times I can do it once!. =p.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;1. At what age do you wish to marry?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                                            That depends on the circumstances, but generally before 30.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;2. What will you do when you feel really emo?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;I'll just want to lie down in an open space. May be my bedroom, open park or by the lake. The beach is not bad as well when its cooler. There I can think and reflect on the things I've done and think of what I can do. When I feel really emo I prefer to be alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;3. What do you have in your mind now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                                       I'm thinking about the question before this.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;4.Where is the place that you want to go most?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                            &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                         There's no specific places now... but basically I want to travel around the world. I need money for that.. a lottery would be good.hehehe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;5.If you have one dream to come true, what would it be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;                       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                        I wish that friends would never need to see the boundaries of countries and territories. Now I'm thinking of an area that all friends could stay. Not necessarily together but within 5 to 10 minutes reach. That'd be good. hm It's virtually impossible though.. sigh.cause everyones all over the world and those around you may have other plans.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;6.Do you believe in seeing the rainbow after the rain?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                         Yup I do. If there's just rain it'll be gloomy all the way. It makes us retreat to bed and be lazy. I believe that a rainbow works to clear things up and give a certain mood to life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;7.What are you afraid to lose the most right now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                          I'm afraid of losing the company of friends that I have right now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;8. What cheers you up for the rest of the day?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                          When I know that I helped and made a difference in peoples life. Every little bit helps. ;) .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                       &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;9.If you meet someone you love, would you confess to him/her?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;That depends on whether I can sense that we mutually like each other.. if not it would be totally embarrassing to confess and get rejected. I would rather be friends if thats the case. Not saying that when rejected you can't be friends.. it's just that it'll be different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;10.List out good things of the  3 people who tagged you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;Yee Fang ------&gt;friendly, active, good researcher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;Jia Huei -------&gt;cheerful, gifted singer, confident when talking but not on stage. =D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;Cheah Yen-----&gt;friendly, blur =) easy to disturb, loves to cook for a lot of people.haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                              All 3 loves the camera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;11. What are the requirements that you wish from your other half?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;             Other half...  you mean split personality?? haha or life partner. hmm. If it's split personality, I dont want it to be the opposite of me, but I want it to be better in the things I do. If it's the other then its love,mutual understanding and trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;12.What type of person do you hate the most? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                I hate people that can't keep their word and are easily influenced by people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;13.What would you do if you won a million dollars?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                Spend wisely. hahaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;14.What is your ambition?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;                      I want to build holiday resorts and retreats because once I achieve that, thats how I want to live my life.

Somehow, at that time, I knew that if I planned something for Da Yong's birthday it would backfire to me. Reason being our birthday were just 5 days different. But, I also thought if nobody thinks of anything, nothing will be done. If everyone is waiting for somebody to do something, nothing gets done.  So, I did it anyway. I on the other hand also knew about DaYong's b'day party on the real day itself, so  the surprise I planned only included close friends and those that were leaving before his birthday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the photos.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwjq8Lu-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/e9vti8HtaLQ/s1600-h/DSCN9973.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwjq8Lu-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/e9vti8HtaLQ/s320/DSCN9973.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140841995279514594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                             The cake.. they don't want.-_-&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fydK8LvBI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Am84xYXw1WI/s1600-h/DSCN9965.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fydK8LvBI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Am84xYXw1WI/s320/DSCN9965.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140844082633620498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                                They want him. hahaha =p&lt;br /&gt;                                         &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwj68Lu_I/AAAAAAAAAE8/lWYg-5_vqbk/s1600-h/DSCN9983.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwj68Lu_I/AAAAAAAAAE8/lWYg-5_vqbk/s320/DSCN9983.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140841999574481906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                                                                                                                           Group photo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwka8LvAI/AAAAAAAAAFE/SI1jOHH5Ve0/s1600-h/DSCN9986.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwka8LvAI/AAAAAAAAAFE/SI1jOHH5Ve0/s320/DSCN9986.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5140842008164416514" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Eww.. facial expression quite chun hoh.we didn't know what was happening behind us at that time.. nothing to say...&lt;br /&gt;____________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;~ I'm back in Kuching already... And that was quite some time ago too. Since the 26th of November. It has been around 1 week plus. I can't say I've done much.. but I can't say I've done nothing too because of the weather here. It's been raining nearly everyday here. It's wet. But, when it does not rain.. it's really hot. Makes me feel very lazy!.~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my flight to Singapore, I was lucky I met Cindy Yong from Perth. If not I will be bored for 4 and a half hours. Even with a friend, it was boring.. because I had no cash to spend at that time. Everything sold in the airport was branded. Lucky for us, the airport had facilities like the internet, large screen tv, and the games section. I was quite tired cause I didn't really sleep well the night before so I didn't bother playing games. I just used the internet and watched tv after walking around the airport. I had lunch there. =). First Asian meal. hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had several ups and downs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Downs - My grandma got admitted to hospital last week. Diabetic problem, had fever, vomiting   and diarrhea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ups - My mum getting a new car.. but its a simple and humble Myvi. haha. oh well better than nothing its replacing the old anyways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh.. nearly forgotten too. I had lunch with my friends in Kuching for my birthday party at a place called "Secret Garden". Sounds so yeng right.. the food not so.. hm will post the pictures when I get them transfered from my camera. Regardless, I had a great time catching up. Thanks Adrian, Junella, Beverly, En Thien, and Daniel for your time hehe and the present.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-3003878554264033463?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/3003878554264033463/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=3003878554264033463' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/3003878554264033463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/3003878554264033463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/12/my-surprise.html' title='My surprise..'/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/R1fwjq8Lu-I/AAAAAAAAAE0/e9vti8HtaLQ/s72-c/DSCN9973.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-8770342407183633740</id><published>2007-11-17T22:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-11-17T22:57:56.646+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Exam's over</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/Rz7-43OZDPI/AAAAAAAAAEM/li6swP9ELuk/s1600-h/BJ_smirk.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/Rz7-43OZDPI/AAAAAAAAAEM/li6swP9ELuk/s320/BJ_smirk.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133820878099385586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am feeling so lazy now. After exam, I feel that life is more relaxed and the pace have slowed down. Meaning, I get lazier. I don't even feel like playing games that I haven't played for a long time and I don't have the urge to... also, partly cause not all my house mates have completed their exams. Basically I just eat and sleep and encourage the people around me. I do that by exercising my freedom in front of them.. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hate exams... so...

However, people often get messed up or mixed up by misinterpreting them. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Excellence&lt;/span&gt; is sought after because excellence is what people will see and pay attention to. People will only listen more attentively if you have a certain qualification or achievement. That said, seeking excellence is good but getting too carried away might just take you to extremism. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Contentment&lt;/span&gt; is something we must have because it enables us to be grateful and appreciate what we already have. Yet, it can retard excellence because you stop wanting, learning and lose the desire for more. In short, you lose the motivation to improve.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;Being humble&lt;/span&gt; is hard. The question to be asked is,” Will you see things the same way you see it when things were harder or easier to achieve?”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Being humble alone is hard because of ego. Being humble when you are successful is even harder because people will feed your ego and you will think that all things are possible for you. In fact, they are not and you will become complacent with your situation and think that the world revolves around you. It does not and to do even better (excel) support from friends and people around you is vital.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Then now I have another question to bother people. Haha. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);" class="MsoNormal"&gt;Can all these values, coexist?&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;It’s hard but if achievable, a formula is needed. I know some people might be thinking religion. I’m not crossing it out of the picture but, this is an open question and does not require an answer. It is just to make you think. But feel free to comment if you wish.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Don’t know why I’m writing this but maybe because of exams. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;comfort&lt;/span&gt; myself by saying excellence is good but extremism is not. Then to &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;prevent&lt;/span&gt; myself from getting too lazy, I will tell myself not to be &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 0);"&gt;too content&lt;/span&gt; with what I have achieved so far. And if I do do well in the exams, I can &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;remind&lt;/span&gt; myself to be humble and not forget the people around me. I hope this helps everyone else that are &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;stressed&lt;/span&gt; for exams.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;“It’s not how much you think that counts; it is how you think that makes a difference.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-6847441145567691677?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/6847441145567691677/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=6847441145567691677' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6847441145567691677'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6847441145567691677'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/11/preparing-myself-mentally.html' title='Preparing myself mentally'/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-5049761216549227023</id><published>2007-11-05T08:25:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-11-05T08:32:03.576+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunday</title><content type='html'>On a lighter note, I enjoyed service on Sunday. It was very very happening because we celebrated 3 birthdays on that day. First we got Alphonsus. His car tyres were taken and a few guys went to take him down. Then he had flour and eggs all over him. Next up was Pei Ren. We had lunch in happy meals and we celebrated his birthday there with an ice cream cake. Then we had Jia Huei's birthday after badminton at Chi. The venue was unplanned, but at least everything else turned out well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Service was good and it makes people think.

I want answers&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Well.. it was a series of events but it turned out ahh. Firstly, people often try to convince me to accept Christianity and they gave time and most of the time I will say no. &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);"&gt;They never really ask why.&lt;/span&gt; Maybe they do ask.. but, because it can be quite offending so they never really persist on asking.. but little did they know &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;I really want to answer them&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Question&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style=""&gt;To me      the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;existence of God&lt;/span&gt; was never a question. The question is &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;which God is      real&lt;/span&gt;. There’s Buddhism, Muslim, Hinduism and Christianity. Brought up in a      society of multiple religions and beliefs, believing in miracles is a      norm. Because of all these perceptions, I came to a conclusion that all      religions are &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);"&gt;equal&lt;/span&gt;, none is greater. How do I know which is real? They all teach good things;      just the God they worship is different. By telling myself this, &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;I’ve made      myself very comfortable when confronted with issues related to religion      because I have got a stand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ever since I came to &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Perth&lt;/st1:City&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; 3 years ago, the service…sermons never answered my questions. Instead, they focused on bringing people to know Christ, as in they only have 2 types of people in mind. Their most direct way of evangelism is telling the truth by installing the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;fear&lt;/span&gt; of hell and the &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;desire&lt;/span&gt; to go to heaven. One, is the Christian’s and the other is the non believer that have not heard about Christ. Another group was not addressed, which is those that &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;have heard of Christ but have chose not to believe because they have no reason to be bias about other religions&lt;/span&gt;. I know, Christianity is not a religion. It’s a relationship because He is personal. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The downside of this type of approach then is it uses fear to install the need of God in the lifes of the non believers by telling them that believing is the one way passage to heaven. &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;The Only way&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;However, it does not work with people that already know about Christ but chose not to believe it because of &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;other factors that really matter&lt;/span&gt;. These are religion, feelings of my immediate and extended family and so on. My uncle studied in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Australia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; before and he once told me..,”&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;When you go to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;st1:country-region style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Australia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt; do not get brainwashed&lt;/span&gt;”. We’re in a very difficult position.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Apart from that, I know that Christian’s here really believe in their God and eternal life that they persist so much so to bring you to salvation. But, have you ever figured how much pressure it is when you go to service, or a church event and the message that is &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);"&gt;supposed&lt;/span&gt; to be bringing people to &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;salvation&lt;/span&gt; is seen as a message condemning us.. If you don’t accept Christ you will end up in hell.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Because the way it is preached.. it sounds really true. (For non believers). At some point you really want to but because of things that really matter, you hold back. Slowly, a &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);"&gt;shield&lt;/span&gt; to the heart starts to form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;And when all your peers around you are Christians, you can feel the &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;pressure&lt;/span&gt; there.. peer pressure.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I once told Wei Yue how I felt. Then he said, “In Buddhism, you do not need to believe, because they say that reincarnation takes place even if you believe it or not. So why then can’t you just believe in Christ and gain something &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;extra&lt;/span&gt;.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Of course that is not all he told me. But based on this alone, I was not convinced. I always think logically and how can I believe if religion/relationship is put in this way.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;In church I feel that way, in cell I feel that way too… &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;initially&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;But I guess, now I’m &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 255);"&gt;used&lt;/span&gt; to it. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;At the start, I joined my friends for church on Sunday because I had nothing better to do and I need to take care of my&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt; lunch&lt;/span&gt;. After I got to know more people, I ended up going regularly despite my faith, because of the &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"&gt;friendship&lt;/span&gt; built. Despite all that, I &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;refused&lt;/span&gt; to join any ministries even after being in church for 2 years.. nearly 3 now. The reason being because I’ve been in church long enough to know how things work. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;First you start of doing a &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;small&lt;/span&gt; thing.. then later you wonder how you end up doing &lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;many&lt;/span&gt; things. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;catch phrase&lt;/span&gt; you will never fail to hear is,” You are here for a reason. Not by chance, not because your friends have asked you to come but because God have placed you here.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;So I never started in any ministry. Not because I don’t want to help or do many things.. But I do not want to &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;serve for the wrong reasons&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Jia Huei once said,” Sometimes I also have doubts bout Christ but if I always have doubt then how can I say I believe. I might as well have faith.”&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I do not want to serve because at the heart of all the ministries, the &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 204, 204);"&gt;main cause is to serve the Lord&lt;/span&gt;. How can I serve the Lord if I am not a believer?&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I know I’m stubborn, but really, I just want to be sure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-6850608521324125815?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/6850608521324125815/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=6850608521324125815' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6850608521324125815'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6850608521324125815'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/11/think-think-think.html' title='Think think thInk'/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-1720963344852730323</id><published>2007-10-30T20:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-31T14:46:26.314+08:00</updated><title type='text'>What a day!       -_-''</title><content type='html'>I feel that now a burden has been lifted. I feel that some of my questions are cleared.&lt;br /&gt;What am I talking about?&lt;br /&gt;I am talking about my units. I've finished 1 so there's 3 to go. I had my test today. It was challenging in a way.. but I guess a pass is definite. After the final test, I had a Marketing Research lecture. It was the last one so as a norm, the lecturer will give tips for the exams... and I've got a glimpse of what the exam paper is like. Glimpse?? you might ask.. haha ya.. its a glimpse cause he zoom out and made it really small on the projector so we cant see it anyway.=(. But the idea is there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After lecture I was contemplating whether or not to go for badminton. There was a bit of persuasion from Fei.. but that's not it. I felt so happy that I finished 1 unit that technically if anyone asked me bout anything I would say yes. haha. So I came home and told him that Da Yong and I would be going. We got home at about 5+ pm from lecture so getting ready by 6pm was a real challenge. I rushed to buy food in the Deli and managed to pull it off. When I arrived back home I received a phone call saying.. they'll arrive in 5 minutes. That's really quick!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had fun in badminton. The group was smaller this time cause of test and exams... thats why it turned out interesting. Because of that we used only 1 car to squeeze 6 people inside. Not that I like to squeeze.. haha.. but something happened. When we were coming back from badminton, there was a roadblock. All of us in the car was panicking.. and apparently, Lawrence claimed that his whole body/ leg had no energy. Yan Hua was at the front seat.. Xin Ying, Fei, Da Yong and I were at the back.  We were scared enough.. but Xin Ying had to open her door when we arrived at the stop. She tried to get out of the car ' so that police can't see her' hahahaha. funny.=). Lawrence got through the breath test and Da Yong and I managed to keep Fei out of the picture by squashing him.haha no la.. we just made use of the blind spot and made sure the police couldn't see him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What were the penalties. Well I thought of jail.. although thats too far fetched. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/Ryctk5sGNMI/AAAAAAAAACU/3vQs1SDaYDY/s1600-h/graphic_jail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/Ryctk5sGNMI/AAAAAAAAACU/3vQs1SDaYDY/s320/graphic_jail.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5127116812768916674" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hopefully we might get a chance. hmm.

Who should make the first move?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;"If a guy makes a move on a girl and she turns him down, the guy loses face. But that's not it.&lt;br /&gt;Because what normally happens is that the girl would go back to her pack of girlfriends, and then she'd go, "Like, oh my god. You won't believe just what happened. Did you, like, see that guy over there, like, make a move on me? He was like, totally ewww. I was, like, just sitting there and he's like, 'Hey, can I like buy you a drink?' and I was like 'No wayyyy, I'm too cool for you!' Like, whateva!"&lt;br /&gt;Then they'd all giggle among themselves while you stand there looking like an idiot." Quoted from &lt;a href="http://kennysia.com/"&gt;Kennysia.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My opinion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally I think that everyone has the right to pursue their way of life, their ambitions and most importantly, their lifetime companion. Seriously, I think gender is not important as in, as long as you like someone, voice it out. Gender only matters if you are gay or something, which means you are not &lt;strong&gt;STRAIGHT&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Initiative is very important. It seems that the &lt;strong&gt;norm&lt;/strong&gt; is very tough on the guys. Guys have to make the first move.. get the blame and then in the next day or two lose face. Some people say face is ego and that guys should put aside their ego because '&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;love&lt;/span&gt;' is much more important than that. I totally agree that love is much more important, but what is the point when the day you took your chances to get closer to a girl, all the other girls takes you as a pervert or an idiot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on that, I really think that whoever has feelings towards someone should make the first move.. regardless of their gender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes in a society, males outnumber females. One example is China where the &lt;strong&gt;numbers&lt;/strong&gt; are so obvious due to the one child policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I throw one question to females.Do you prefer to get chosen by a group of desperate guys.. or would you rather look for your prince charming?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mean you shouldn't have the "couldn't care less attitude" when things like these determine your future...right??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So back to the question again..,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Should a girl ask the guy for his number? Who should make the first move?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-7091862135586427642?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/7091862135586427642/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=7091862135586427642' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/7091862135586427642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/7091862135586427642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/10/should-girl-ask-guy-for-his-number-who.html' title='Should a girl ask the guy for his number?

The two assignments were  done.. the presentation was somewhat last minute. Either that, or it was a result of miscommunication. Everyone in my group thought everything was covered because we all did our part. But!, we forgotten that a separate analysis needed to be done for the powerpoint presentation. Our class was at 11.30am and we met at around 11am just to find that out. It really was a disaster. At that point I really didn't feel like attending the tutorial lo but I dragged myself. As a group that is not prepared, we waited for the other groups to present first.. and that was a bad move. The first group performed so well and the lecturer had so many comments to make asking them to fix it in the report. That really made me feel like &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;melting&lt;/span&gt; away... pack my stuff and walk out. It was a 5% presentation anyway. I would rather lose it than embarrass myself in front of the class if I had it my way.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end, we presented with our graphs and data that was not analyzed.. and guess what she had nothing to say. Probably cause there was &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;nothing&lt;/span&gt; for us to fix because we didn't do anything.. but we were surprised she let us go without a long lecture. After the presentation I just felt so relieved and felt like going home. It took so much of me that I don't feel like going to any other class later in the day.. but I still went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During my presentation, I received a mms with a KFC pic in it. When I received it I didn't feel the hunger in me .. but that built up later on.haha. After that at around 2.30 pm I had Organizational Behaviour tutorial to attend. It is the most boring tutorial of all. Either that or whenever I enter the class I will feel &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;stressed&lt;/span&gt; out because the participation mark accounts for 20% of the whole unit marks. Thats a lot. Usually it is just 10%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a day~. After that received an mms regarding the loss of a chicken ..hahaha. funny. cause of that I went to lepak in Vickery house for a while. hmm no regrets though cause I had &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;orange&lt;/span&gt; to eat.=D.&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally~ I played my first game of Dota again for few months I think. Lost my touch already.. haha but it's fine. It is just a game.&lt;br /&gt;_____________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday after badminton, Thomas, Da Yong, Melvin and I had dinner with pastor and his family. Somehow it's a privilege...somehow it's stressful if you know what I mean. Either way I was grateful I had free food to eat. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-8646532308948244586?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/8646532308948244586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=8646532308948244586' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/8646532308948244586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/8646532308948244586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/10/firstly-i-have-to-be-very-grateful-that.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-5357675962577861262</id><published>2007-10-17T11:34:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-17T11:46:51.095+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Suddenly I have assignments due again.

They are a cycle. This is why we must cherish friends when we have a chance. They exist in our everyday life, but somehow it is always that they are more important when they are leaving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, Bang is leaving Perth. There's a chance he would be coming back.. but it would be small? haha.. actually I myself is unclear of his chances of returning.. but oh well there are no boundaries in this world. We could be anywhere, but with different roles. For most of us, we know Bang as a Malaysian, that grew up in America, hence his American ascent. That's a social plus for him. heeh. How could I describe him, joker? Some would describe him as a pessimist but I prefer to call him a critic. That's because a critic can be constructive.haha.. That apart, around 16 of us had a farewell dinner for him at Ferrals. As we all know.. its not about the food tonight but its about the heart thats there to see him off. It's the Heavy heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now, here's the lamb shank I ordered.&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RxIxsvPBrrI/AAAAAAAAAB8/9K0wjxIEZtU/s1600-h/14102007%28001%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RxIxsvPBrrI/AAAAAAAAAB8/9K0wjxIEZtU/s320/14102007%28001%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5121210370937171634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a group photo after that, but my phone camera wasn't good enough for the night.. so it has to be taken from a proper camera and that means that I'll have to wait for the photo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally... and interestingly, a few moments after I arrived home I received and egg from Yii Mei, via Melvin. I don't know whether it was leftover or what, but I was really happy because as we all know, food in high class restaurants do not offer quantity. I was pretty hungry,.. therefore very happy to see an egg.

Usually I take the 3 meat combination which is roast pork, bbq pork and chicken. However, my appetite has been squeezed since I got sick a few days ago. Da Yong had wonton noodles soup.It looks like the plague is spreading since my housemates are all getting sick 1 by 1. haha. Maybe we could finish 2 bottles of apple cider *fingers crossed*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, we caught the bus back and I had time for 1 chess game and guess what. =). Anyways, I rushed off for my group meeting for International marketing. It is a very constructive one I must say... but 2 hours of that can really take a toll on you. I was really tired after that and thinking about what to do for the night I was even more tired. As usual, my Friday nights would be home alone.. so I went to spent some time in vickery house. Not today though. hee. Tim was home and we had steamboat together. It seems so long that I had steamboat but suddenly this week, I have had 2 steamboats on 2 consecutive days. How good is that. =). Now I'm really satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is really so unpredictable and in that sense it deserves credit. &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Life is good... and has a thousand possibilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-6998404586079013111?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/6998404586079013111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=6998404586079013111' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6998404586079013111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/6998404586079013111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/10/unpredictable.html' title='Unpredictable..'/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/Rw90U_PBrqI/AAAAAAAAAB0/PeSYyZlqF-E/s72-c/12102007.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-2301834220527068286</id><published>2007-10-10T21:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-10T22:08:20.110+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Long Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RwzaPPPBroI/AAAAAAAAABk/bpoHzUL1UC4/s1600-h/carousel.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 210px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RwzaPPPBroI/AAAAAAAAABk/bpoHzUL1UC4/s320/carousel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119706831735860866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I started off my day with a class at 9.00 am. It was a bad start...not because I was late but because I realized that I still have so much assignments to do after the class. After that, I just went straight to Carousel. For more than a month or so I've been dealing with receiving late mms and it isn't very convenient. Anyways, I went to Carousel with the hope of getting it fixed. It was so disappointing. I sat there for 3 hours and the results were bad. It wasn't making things worse, but it just didn't help solve anything. On the way there, I met Adeline. And when I arrived, I met Ivan.. such a coincidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As anyone would feel after waiting for 3 hours and getting no results, all I felt was frustration and I just wanted to go home and sleep it all out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the way though, something caught my eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RwzaPfPBrpI/AAAAAAAAABs/GddyEhvMe5E/s1600-h/10102007%28002%29.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 308px; height: 231px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RwzaPfPBrpI/AAAAAAAAABs/GddyEhvMe5E/s320/10102007%28002%29.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119706836030828178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad thing was, it wasn't for me. -_-''.oh well.. it was a distraction anyway. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, I was so tired that I took a nap. Short one though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the night, I was supposed to study but was influenced to a certain degree and decided to watch videos on www.crunchyroll.com instead. Soon after that, I went and join Da Yong, Thomas, Jia Huei and Yee Fang for the mamak night. It was so gloomy.. as if no one promoted it and invited people to come. So.. sad. Good thing was, we get to go back early and have a good rest and we have the rain to compliment the atmosphere  to sleep. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-2301834220527068286?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/2301834220527068286/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=2301834220527068286' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/2301834220527068286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/2301834220527068286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2007/10/long-day.html' title='Long Day'/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ndYjg98bpLE/RwzaPPPBroI/AAAAAAAAABk/bpoHzUL1UC4/s72-c/carousel.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-5036878319383771052</id><published>2007-10-09T23:16:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2007-10-10T00:05:51.694+08:00</updated><title type='text'>What is your stand?</title><content type='html'>Often we follow opinion leaders and base our actions on their perspective. We do this because, they are more experienced and it is more convenient to conform with the norm. I would like to put forward a question then.. "when you act based on others opinion, do you feel the same sense of achievement and achievement?". People today do so much to fit in.. yet they forget why they want to fit in. They want recognition and attention. In short, they want friends. This is the part I'm confused with. What easier way is there to get recognition and attention?.. it is to be different, unique or special. I totally can't understand why then that they need to be a copy of something. It's so contradictory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a saying that goes " no matter what you do, you will not be able to please everyone..". So do what you want, there will be some that agrees with you and some that don't. Interestingly those that agree with your stance will become your true friend rather than the 'fit in friend'...  The reason being, you are being your true self and your friends become friends with you because of your character, not because you tried to be someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, the question is .. "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;what is your stand&lt;/span&gt;" or "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;do you have a stand&lt;/span&gt;"???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just something to think about.hehee.&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I played badminton with Lawrence and his group. This time it is at Queen's park. It was quite fun. I got tired really quick today.. really start to wonder where my stamina went.

Think to the extent that I get things done. Good right.haha contradictory to the times when I think too much and get nothing done because I worry about the consequences. But thats fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have one.. very quiet time. Every Friday, my housemate will go for cell. I on the other hand will stay at home cause my cell is on Thursday. Being a Friday, I have nothing to do cause I have no car... and friends are also busy with cell. With the time, I can do a lot of things. Most of the time I'll sleep. Its the best and most comfortable thing to do. Studying.. depends on what lo. I can even choose to hang out with other friends. This is the good and bad thing about having a cell on Thursday. haha. Most probably though I end up surfing the net. Last Friday though I thought of something. Might be mine might be my (friend's)'s haha. But till now its just a plan...mm I wonder if it could be implemented. hee....

This power is the most powerful, and should not be taken lightly. The right choices will bring life to the individual, but the wrong choice can utterly destroy a persons life. It is no joke. ha ha. People are constantly making choices everyday. Yet, we do not emphasize it as important. However people make a big deal about the subcategories of choice which is the result of the choice made such as stealing, lying, adultery and love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A smile can make a day for another person, a tear can ruin a day for everyone present.&lt;br /&gt;Choose which outcome you want.&lt;br /&gt;Choose how you want it to happen.&lt;br /&gt;Choose when you want it to happen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, people fail to think highly of themselves.

I basically did nothing for the event.. didn't even have mooncakes. I spent that night playing badminton, sweating it all out. Arrived home at 12pm and suffered from body ache for the next few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All that aside, today I ate ice cream. It's nice. bleh. Not that I want to give credit to those that made it but they deserved it. Have you heard of orange and pear ice cream. I for one have not, till I tried them today. It's nice. =) oh and before that, I went with Da Yong to distribute my surveys for my marketing research assignment. So.. my samples for the day was Jia Huei, Yee Fang, Jimmy, Jaclyn, Marcus and Cheah Yen. Great bunch of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the afternoon, I went to the library to do some research on a furniture company named Freedom. It was for my international marketing assignment and I am responsible for looking and the strength and weaknesses of the company.

Conclusion: " You do not need to be grand or great to get attention. All you need is to be positioned at the right place at the right time."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mansion is always still a mansion but because its behind the trees, and because of the lighting and the colour of the mansion, the mansion does not stand out. The plant on the other hand is still a small pathetic thing. Yet, we see it first because of how the photo is taken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting and amusing it is. Here are some quotes for comfort.&lt;br /&gt;For the great, you can always tell yourself that.&lt;br /&gt;For the less well off, you can always tell yourself that its not my time yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hmm just a random photo in my photo album.

So it wasn't a very very fancy countdown.But it was a great gathering of people. Everything was great except for the fact it was by the river.It was raining heavy this whole month ok!!.lots to worry about.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh before i forget.I gathered with a whole bunch of old friends on Christmas(2006).It was a potluck at Joanne's house.Good to see most people there.Adrian,Tzy Wen,Indra,Beverly,Pei Ren,Kin Chern,Polycarp,Nick,Jocelyn,Roderick,Eldon,Justin,That day I drank a lot of water because it was a punishment for a card game. Water is good but keep drinking..... I guess too much of everything is no good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that live in Kuching was all about eating. Also I caught a movie with Grace Sii and her friends.A night at the museum.Frankie,Robin and Ivan.All bloggers.At least that is what I think.=). After that we went for supper. Met Adrian,Daniel and the others there.They just finished football and had supper.Day after next, went to catchup with Gloria and Grace. Two cousins trying to take funny photos.haha.Damn lucky to see that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I met up with Pei Ren, Zhang Xiang and Kiew for lunch the day after that.It was raining.Supposed to go to some Korean food store but it was closed.

This situation shows me how unique we all are. How we, all so stupid, try to be someone else to fit in the crowd. No matter how hard we strive to be perfect, we will never be perfect. We will just be the perfect us, I will be the perfect me, and You will be the perfect you. We will never be a perfect everybody. A flaw in us is an opportunity for friends to help. Aren’t you thankful that we worry and care? Be confident with yourself and let strength be drawn from you. Do not let friends down as they all have faith and trust in you. Appear victorious in moments of sadness and you will paint smiles on all faces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confidence and influence comes hand in hand. When you have confidence you pave a way. You make a path and people can choose to follow or not. If followed, it is called trend. If not it is unique. No matter which, you are always unique because a follower will never be as good as the original. So just be confident in yourself. There is nothing wrong for you to be abnormal or imperfect, because we are not copies, clones. We are different. Totally~. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As time goes by, we recognize our differences and talents. We accept them to build a powerful friendship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know what you can do but I can’t do what you can do.&lt;br /&gt;Can you do what I can do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something to

black.After that, there's coffee time as well.What a day.Lucky for me I have had everything behind me now.Their exams is this coming week.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well.What am I waiting for now.I have such a long holiday and with nothing to do.Firstly, I'll have to wait till I get my results.In the meantime, I'd probably look for a job.. like most of my housemates.We know it is boring.. thats why we are looking for a job.But we are not going to complain about it cause exams are worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorow, after church service I will be watching superman with the rest of the cell.I don't know how good it is going to be but it serves the purpose.Kill boredom.mm at least I'm not the type that doesn't want to go home just because they finish their exams or their holidays start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AND finally i got back my clothes from Jay's house.Never washed since a month ago.Damn... he is so responsible.=p.I wish I could throw stones at him.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I went to have lunch at Hungry Jacks.Its cheap but according to Wei Yue,it's just all fats.bleh.Don't care!Stomach more important.:P.After lunch,Tim went to Carousel and bought

after all.. cause I got carried away.Anyway I was having fun.Living life to the fullest?nope nope.There's much more to achieve.=p.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later then, I had dinner with my cell group.Not all turned up.All were busy with study and exams.Like me but I hadn't had dinner so I went.The venue..,Malaysian delight at Vic park.It's nice.And those who didn't go,you've missed out.hehe.It was then that Gen talked about some law thats going to be passed or on debate.Allowing gay marriage.That's a no no.Then after dinner we went for ice cream.That was crazy in the cold weather but..the place was warm.The place smelt burnt too.That reminds me of the need to do my laundry to get rid of the smell.Extra work!.And by the way I just found out Bang can't take spicy stuff..if not he goes to toilet.haha.That's from Gen though.After some time I didn't know how the conversation got to me and it was embarassing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ice cream was good but now the troop was going to go to study.But, Gen wanted to go to video ezy to rent some movies.hmm.So we waited.When I went home I was so tired and went to sleep.I was lucky I did sleep early I think.If not I

be better to shut up.A deep thought that gives way to a pause in conversations is better than saying something that will lead to misunderstandings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I prefer to listen

Partly because I had music ringing the whole night in my head cause I left my computer on and partly because I got a prank call early in the morning.That is so pointless.Im gonna bash the persons head when I see that person again.wahaha.Damn.. anyway I finally woke up.. or got out from my bed at 9.30am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, I got ready and got to school.Sadly when I arrived,Da Yong and Shelina went to curtin to withdraw cash..I didn't want to go.. so I went to the gym.No one was playing badminton!!.Luckily I'm skilled... LOL.I could play ping pong as well.. so no harm done.It was really funny when I played with the guy named Josh.Funny guy.. Samuel too and Andy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da Yong and Shelina went straight to the library after they returned..so I decided to stay and play since I have lunch at the conference room with MMS,my agent.It was free lunch.. and it was good.=p.. it was not as cheap as I expected.haha.I had a chat with my agent and get to know a few who came from the same hometown as I.They were just right in front of me all along and I didn't know.Weird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because I ate my fill..I was tired so I went home..supposingly.. until I remembered that I needed jumpers and jackets.Guess what... I bought them at Carousel.Now I am really broke.I saw Grace there!Unlucky.lols.was it a coincidence or what.haiz.After that I got home, did my laundry and stuff.Tiring day!Well I guess the night is left for books.Study~.Exams next week..bleh..have to remind myself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'></title><content type='html'>It's nearly one month again.Last month we paid the rent late.. and we received warnings from the agent.That was really bad.Anyway, on Thursday , I went to cell.It was one of the biggest gathering so far cause most of the people did turn up.Except Tim.But despite that , we still had a great time at makan makan.We connected 2 tables.Yup the group was that big.hahah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then yesterday,I went to a church gathering at the South Perth Church of Christ.On the way there, my transport broke down.It was an Integra.The irony was we had to push a sports car.Sad.But,we got it started.Yay!That house was packed.I could barely move.You know what.. we were supposed to be there early to grab seats in which we did.But, we humbly offered it to the elders.haiz and we sat on the floor.I enjoyed the worship and word ,not the others.Although I know they meant good but it gets annoying when it(try to let 1 more know god) keeps coming after you've made your stand.After that , we went to eat supper at a 24 hour deli shop cause Chi was closed.We got home at about nearly 2am in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My other housemates, went on to play lan games at my cell leaders house.I couldn't take it.haha.Not that I couldn't stay awake anymore but at that hour I might feel like sleeping anytime... so I would like the comfort of my bed to be near me..so I stayed at home.Then, I didn't sleep.I went on to watch series and slept at about 3 am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I went to have a haircut again.Not to say the other was not good,it was just not what I needed.hehe.If there is something formal I would go there again cause a haircut there will make you look good,but not for the long term.Today, I made it shorter,cause my hair is getting a bit annoying.haha.After that I had lunch at Karawara.I saw Jimmy and Vips.I suppose they just finished their choir?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mm I wonder..what's installed for tomorow.I know Monday I have a test, but tomorow is Sunday!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

how because of rollerblading or playing ice hockey.Unfair~=p.Jay,Shelina and Dominic all know how to skate.So good.haha. If I could remember well enough, we went to tea fusion after that for bubble tea. After that we went to play some laser game.Really exciting as we get to shoot our friends.well well not as interesting as paintball though.Paintballs will hurt you!.. but that's the fun part.hehe.You know when you hit a target.Everyone has a unique voice.. haha and when you recognize it, wouldn't you be thrilled?haha neway I'm being mean here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, we were really tired.Our legs can't move anymore.Really... like jelly.haha.Then we went over to Jay's house.mm well I can't remember what we did all the days in Jay's house, but .. we had fun times and also we had quiet times(sad to say).haiz.Oh.. and I also learned how to play mahjong... only the basics though.Well on the whole, it was quite fun.=).We stayed for 2 nights.I remember, the second day was wasted.You know how???.We literally slept the whole day.SWT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then on Friday I went for a haircut in the city.Cost me quite a lot.haha.Then after that , I went timezone a while to watch my friend play.After that we went to Jay's house again.This time, Shelina got locked out of the house.haha.. and then Jay had to go and bring her back.rofl.oh well.that's what makes life interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saturday!!...I came back early expecting to pay the rent with my housemates but most of them have not withdrawn cash.arhh really really annoyed..cause I already told them a week in advance..but what to do have to pay next week lor.Sad Sad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then.. Sunday as usual, I went to church.Nothing much to add actually.haha accept ,everyone needs affirmation,appreciation and to be accepted.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-114638462431685263?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/114638462431685263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=114638462431685263' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/114638462431685263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/114638462431685263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2006/04/last-monday-i-went-ice-skating.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-114638265808351619</id><published>2006-04-30T15:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-30T15:49:00.216+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4372/483/1600/derekchong7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4372/483/320/derekchong7.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me after haircut.. not much difference actually.arhh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4372/483/1600/Jay%20and%20Dominic.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4372/483/320/Jay%20and%20Dominic.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay and Dominic&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4372/483/1600/Jay%2CDerek%2CDaYong%2CShelina.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4372/483/320/Jay%2CDerek%2CDaYong%2CShelina.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay , Me ,Da Yong and Shelina at the ice skate field..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-114638265808351619?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/114638265808351619/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=114638265808351619' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/114638265808351619'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/114638265808351619'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2006/04/me-after-haircut.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-114561201335519537</id><published>2006-04-21T17:12:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-04-21T17:33:33.426+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Wasted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bah.. here  I  refer to time. I woke up today, thinking  that I'm free today so I am able to rest my body. But no... I had to had class. My friend , reminded me of  class. This is holiday ..arh yea out of the whole week of hols, then a class on  Friday. Then next week as well.Whole week off except for Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the point. I was tired cause I went to the beach yesterday.The water in the beach was freezing... and yet, I was enduring it for hours. Luckily the weather was quite ok,not too hot.. not too cold if not I would get sick. After playing in the water, Dominic treated the rest of us for lunch(we paid him later).The mcD in the morning was breakfast.haHa.The group includes of Jay, Da Yong , Shelina and I. May ,Nick and Faith(was it) was left at the beach.They did their own thing.I guess they did have fun.=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that , we started moving at 4.45 pm or something like that.It was supposed to be me ,da yong and May going back first cause we had to go to cell group. Jay and Shelina wanted to watch the sunset. I don't know why they didn't.Oh.. I know. Jay's leg hurts while Shelina had stomach ache. I wonder.. what happened.haha. I just said to her that it is because there was something in her stomach.. and then I don't know the others think until where la.haha.=p.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the bus , most of us were knocked out.We were very tired.We , separated at the Esplanade busport as we took different buses.From there we took bus 75 back home.On the way we met Genesis,and Wei Yue, so we decided not to go back and go straight to cell instead.At that time I thought,...we didn't bring the 40 days book.When we reached, I was so glad to hear that we were not doing that for that day.We were just going to hang out and have fun.We played some very silly games there...and I won't want to go into details cause you will kill yourselves after you know how to play it.hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then , Vips send me home. I went to sleep almost straightaway.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Even though I have not been updating, pretty much have been happening.But , since I missed all the highlights, I am just going to summarize it. So far it has been like this. All of us have a change of timetable this year.A bit more flexible than last year.With the free time, we could come back for lunch, or just stay in school and play sports. A trip to the city could also be done. Also ,my housemates and some other friends took off to rent an xbox 360. They were all so excited about it. Yeah they should. It has great graphics and to some may look real.hehe.In the past few days, we have celebrated 2 birthdays.It has made a hole in my wallet but it is all worthwhile.Jack's birthday was last month and Melvin's , was just yesterday.Even though Melvin's birthday was just yesterday, he got a taste of it 3 days before. He was shocked+surprised.Well that was what we expected.=) This Sunday there will be another.Hopefully it'll be good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This Friday , I have a Legal Framework test.Next week.. two assignments to hand up.Sad..hopefully it could be done giving good results.At least , there's an easter holiday next week.That'll probably let me relax.I know ther will be some work to be done, but no classes would mean more flexibility.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

birthday boy first.hahaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I attended a gathering or a potluck.Whatever way you want to put it.Wooh.. could see many people . Imagine gathering 3 classes together in 1 place... that is amazing!.Even though it looks like we gathered, some of us didn't really socialise.Instead we  just hanged out within the same old group.Pretty sad actually.haiz.Besides that I also got stuck to my com game lar.Wasted precious time.=p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that I followed Loy Bong's car home.He sent William home first so obviously William gave direction.hm it became quite scary when he himself became unsure.Loy Bong and I thought we would get lost for a while.hahah.But we made it.=) When I got home I went online for a while...and saw many people from the same group!.. all that stayed up late after the party.I thought I would be the only one roaming around the net late at night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to speak.. I had two great days in a row,although I had a boring day today until dinner.I haven't posted any pics for a long time now.I will try and do so soon when I get them taken.haha&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-113492045334546487?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/113492045334546487/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=113492045334546487' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/113492045334546487'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/113492045334546487'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2005/12/just-came-back-from-dinner-today.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-113463933954564469</id><published>2005-12-15T17:21:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-12-15T17:35:39.603+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I went to Fang Yuen today.That's behind Hock Lee.Ate chicken rice.Before that, I thought I would be having lunch then go out for badminton.But... that didn't work out.haiz.So we just go out eat, drink and drink!.Alphonsus,Melvin,Jac,Pei Ren,Kiew and I spend the whole afternoon eating and drinking.Pei ren and Kiew joined us after the test.Well later on, Pei Ren went on to Sarawak Club while we all went home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before that we camped at red tea road playing some board game.Really ... we were trying to kill time cause half an hour later we need to pick up Alphonsus's sister.hehe and today me,Melvin and Alphonsus were able to experience Jac's driving.She drove a car without a P plate... and also without her parents permision hahah.Crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well now..

Australian's due to the hanging of their citizen in Singapore.I'm quite sure there are also many other things happening around today but I am just sure that I had a great day today.This afternoon I went with Melvin and Daniel Ling to the airport to pick up Alphonsus.He.. is still the same..noisy ,annoying.hahaha jk.After that we went for lunch.Lots of food.Then we all went home.To 'rest'.After that I went to eat dinner at a restaurant.Ate something that was hard to find in Perth ...seafood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday,I went to watch The fog.They had it translated in Malaysian cineplex 'Kabus Maut'.Sounds so terrible.hahah.Well can do nothing bout it.It is a scary movie I suppose.But before that, we had to wait for an hour cause the movie starts at 9pm and we were there at 8pm.We had nothing to do..,luckily there was the arcade.The arcade is not that good.. but it does serve it's purpose.=).We wasted time there.After the movie we wasted even more time.Open air was open but then they refused to serve metahon...so we refused to order anything.In the end , they offered to make it again.Wah~feel so good.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorow would be another boring

friends.Some of which might have just started SPM.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went to Rotnest Island.It was fun.However it was amn tiring.We were at a bay called Salmon bay .The water there was crystal clear and we could see damn huge waves.But,when they reached the shore at our side, the water was calm.No fun!.But then ,I still got a dip into the water with Alphonsus.The current there is strong, even without the waves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Melvin,Pei Ren,Zhang Xiang,Wei Yue and Jac decided to play with sand instead.They dug a hole and buried Melvin inside.They took candid photos.You will know what I mean when it's uploaded.After that , there is nothing more memorable than staying overnight at the airport for 12 hours.Damn... it sucks.Especially when it is cold.Can't even sleep cause someone has to have an eye on our luggage.Plus luggage cant be left unattended or else it would be taken away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we arrived Kuching,we were...having something up our sleeves.We just didn't thought it woul be that successful.We surprised our parents.Partially with our hair and clothings.That day , I went to open air to taste food Malaysian style.haha.Yesterday, I went to Sarawak Club.Peiple there were studying.I guess they have Chem paper today.haha.Anyway, I went there and swam.I was worn out in just a few laps.Lack of excercise I suppose.hahah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we left Sarawak CLub it was about 6pm.We still had about 3 hours before our next meeting at bings.What did we do?.We went to the city and toured all the shopping complex.Sarawak Plaza,Tun Jugah ..... and so on.Too much time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 9.30 we were at bings.Had a drink and we went off to open air.It was nice to have a group there talking nonsense.hahah.After that, we went home.As a result..

a much longer time.We had 5 hours.We brought together 2 sleeping bag, 2 and a quarter of a watermelon and our clothes of course.The waves were small, and they consistently get bigger and bigger as it gets later.Melvin,JackAu ,Wei Yue and I took turns to look after our belongings at first.Later on , Melvin just wanted some tan so he prefered to sunbath.The other 3 of us challenged the waves hehe in which this time it didn't get my spectacles.Also ,we looked at some figures(Not that from a book,or a calculator) and they captured some photos.hahaha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday,Zhang Xiang,Jack,Jacqueline,Grace,Melvin and I went to watch the exorcism of emily rose.It was not really scary,rather, I think it was disgusting.After watching it I keep remembering the distorted figure,which I wish to forget.Before that, we had dinner and I had a haircut.Yup,so it was a late night movie which starts at 9pm.After that , we went to mc D.We then took the last bus back home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now I'm so tired.It is only 7.00pm and I feel like sleeping...&lt;br /&gt;It is just 1 week plus left to my exams.Have to work harder!.&lt;div

bigger than that I have encountered before.But because of that, I've lost my specs.Washed away.=(. So sad.I felt blind,haha cause my degree is high.After that, we enjoyed eating watermelons at the beach.However, this trip was too rush.All in all it was just an hour.Too short cause we had to get to the city back in time for the church together thingy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow, I was lucky to have a spare spectacles.Next time , it won't get into the water.hahah.Last Friday I had a graduation dinner.That really shows how time flies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-113015085502910315?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/113015085502910315/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=113015085502910315' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/113015085502910315'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/113015085502910315'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2005/10/2-weeks-left-for-real-exam-to-come.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670370.post-112790583412782058</id><published>2005-09-28T18:51:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-09-28T19:10:34.150+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Holidays have started.For a few days now...hehe that's why I'm busy.Well Friday  we went to surprise Bev.We all went to her house and hid in her room and waited patiently till she came back.'All of us skipped class that day' haha. Anyway, we left some loopholes... as in we left some things on the table.She noticed!.Anyway she claims she was still surprised cause she didn't know how we get the key.Behind the scenes.. we took a lot of breathe to blow those balloons and water balloons.We hurried and... what the.. she delayed and came back late.So she left us damn hungry lor.So right after we surprised her , we ate as if there was no tomorow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when tomorow came, the next day , we went to watch European Gigolo.It was a nice movie.Stupid though,don't make sense and a bit obscene.Super combo!.But then nice to watch.Too bad I missed the 1st European Gigolo.After that we went for dinner.It's free! cause Beverly treat us for dinner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had a break on Sunday.On Monday, we were supposed to go to the Perth Royal Show but at that time we were counting money and considering study.So we didn't really make up our mind.So on Monday me and my housemates ended up studying for the first half of the day until one of them said something bout the show.Temptation!.We all packed our bags straightaway and went.We won lots of things...and spent a lot as well.hehe I won two big dice and 1 big turtle and a big blue dog.Also have a small spongebob squarepants but then thats small.haih. and that is only me.Imagine a whole group of us all winning something plus , we went home by public transport. I sat on the roller coaster.It wasn't very big but then I haven't experience it for some time.So .. I guess it was worth 7 dollars.That night we had dinner at 12 in the morning.Slept in the early mornings.Real tired but fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday and today, we spend most of the time at

off,Beverly's car is fixed.Second ar.. still thinking.haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, last weekend , I went to Miss Maud.A buffet.Ate a lot.I went there with,Pei Ren,Bev,Jac and Melvin.After eating our fill,Melvin and I went to eat ice kacang.mm it is sweet and freezing.Suits cold weather a Lot.haha.Before that however, we had to wait outside Miss Maud cause it was full.It was father's day the next day in Australia so we had to take a stroll and make reservations for the earliest table cleared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier on we also went to watch a movie called Red Eye.Nothing to do with red eyes's actually.The starting was dragged real long.The real action was only at the last half of the movie, but that was just for a while.Haiz shud just have watched skeleton key or charlie and the chocalate factory.hehe.. not one of us would write off the possibility of a movie marathon rite.=)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

me.Got a more significant thing to look to.My housemate,Alphonsus is going to move out.So sad... cause it's so sudden.Moved out today... damn it's going to be a hell lot quieter now.So yesterday I went to a Chinese restaurant in Karawara to eat.He calls it the last supper.haha.Right.. it seems so.But it is not the end of the world.He is still welcome.I think.. .haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;National day today, for Malaysian's.I feel sad not to have a national holiday.Yet I feel happy I do not need to bear with the national tv in Malaysia since I'm overseas.Such contrast.hehe.Tomorow is Derek's birthday.Not mine, my housemates.(Derek Sim).We bought something for him.From the pharmacy plus a magazine.It'sa 'secret'.haha.We plan to surprise him in school tomorow if everything turns out right.Away with his face.. he will be embarassed when my friends sing the birthday song in the school canteen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh... and the last few nights we've been crazy.At early hours of the morning we keep prank calling new victims.Really pity them.Have to bear with us people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I watched a documentary in class.They say nuclear power is the remedy to global warming.Firstly, it provides energy without emitting carbon dioxide.Secondly, there are other alternatives like wind and hydro but to provide those power in a large scale, how much time do we have?.Thirdly it risks radiation and lives of others,but which source of energy doesn't.Even the worse ,Chernobyl accident claimed 100000 lives.I think statistics of car accidents all around the world would match that or even more.So I think... it's no big deal to have nuclear power.Unless you say global warming is a minor problem,I will have nothing to say.&lt;div

in the bus.Anyway,....the group goingthere was supposed to be bigger.Supposed to be together with my whole unit as well with Pei Ren,Bev,Jac and Zhang Xiang.But then.. , the my housemates, some of them had to fast today.Haiz.So it seems, I might be going there again next week, to get our Unit shirt done.It seems like a uniform if we were to wear the shirt out in a group.Sounds cool.... suppose to look cool too I hope.haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ate Fish and cheaps,some seafood trays and lobsters.Also, we had chilli mussels.It's nice but expensive.Oh.. and Melvin bought a lavalamp

always dirty.. until the day before inspection.mm oh well I'll give an excuse to myself.As students we are busy people!haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorow,I'll be having an 5 hour break.hehe.Lucky for me!!Unfortunately, there's this stupid meeting coming up on lunch time splitting my break to half.Pityfull me!.And then on Friday I have to pass up my physics prac work as well as sit for my english assignment.My research is barely done..but still can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also,Curtin has issued a warning..about something generating extra costs for them.I would not be surprised if it's because of downloading.hahah but anyway I'm not the only one.I tried to limit myself after the warning.. but in the end I still downloaded what I was supposed to download in two weeks time.But this time 1 file only.. so I guess it's ok.hehe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I ate.. little.First of all.. the African cooked today.I'm complaining.. yes cause he said he knows how to cook.If he didn't say so I wouldn't blame him cause I also can't cook.Anyway..mm I ate little.Luckily i took a heavy lunch.Not like it would help very much ... but at least I won't starve!.&lt;div

work..SLOW and steady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Exams this week.Long and torturing.We have what we call extended piece of work that is being tested during the exam.It is hard.That is not taught in class.That is what you have to study yourself and seek help from teachers in your own time.Today I had it tested.I had a bad time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Next point is,tomorow I'll be free!just for 1 day.A break in between exams.Depends on how people view it.Some might think of it as a blessing some might think of it as prolonging the pain.Also, depending on what course people take, they might have finished their test today.. like Jac..unfair..haha.=pEither way , it is going to end with a 2 weeks holiday!=)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*miss you too and I have the tagboard all this while.&lt;br

type='text'></title><content type='html'>Got back my laptop today.That was a relief.I had to go through two types of public transport to get there.Really something.i spent four hours to go there back and forth.One of the reason i took that long was probably cause I had to wait.When I arrived they haven't serviced my laptop.Talking about delay.That's delayed to the max.After that I have to rush back all the way back to sit for a test.I can't do that with public transport cause it takes a longer time.I took a taxi instead.It is expensive.About 25 aussie?All that for a ride home.How I wish I wasn't such a good student.haha=p.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cause of this great adventure today,I'm broke.&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorow...Friday.Should be something different.We are going to study... I hope.Hope I won't sleep through the 'Study night'.Well try my best.Exams starts the week after next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News of the day:Got my laptop back working &lt;span style="color: rgb(255,

refer to the two characters in the middle of the movie.It is sort of disrupting even though it creates some tiny sense of humour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before that, we went to Northbridge for dinner.I think on average,I've been there for at least twice a week.All my money goes there... all to food.I had an extraordinary large fried rice.Really huge.But I finished it=).Really!I have witnesses.haha.Anyway, after that we went for bubble tea.It has sort of become a routine of some sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the movie though, we went to Fast Eddy at Carousel.A place to drink coffee.Should be something like coffeebean.We sat there for hours.The movie finished at midnight,we sat there till 3 in the morning.Real long.Hahah.&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;And I haven't got my com back.I guess it would be Tuesday or Thursday.Sigh.. why so long?They didn't have an extra fan to replace mine.Stupid excuse.... if that was the case why must I call them to report the case in the first place.Lousy service!Haiz.Who cares anyway ..as long as they get the job done.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-111856615990925285?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt=''

a suburb.. and the worse thing is that the centre only opens on weekdays which means I have to skip some classes.The process only took a while.Unfortunately, I missed the bus and got back late.I needed to walk!Luckily I was not alone.hahah.Melvin followed and both of us got caught under the rain.Damn.He has a jacket while I .. was soaked cause all I had was a T-shirt.Poor me~.Today.. I told my english teacher that I would go and bring my laptop back so I will skip her class.However , when I checked ,my laptop is still not ready so I stayed at home and just skipped class.I feel so guilty..... not!It's not my fault wad.They told me it's 24  hours!.Sigh.So I'm going to try my luck tomorow.But this time not skipping class lar.hahah.Tomorow I'll have a 5 hour break.I'll make full use of it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7670370-111824360636451520?l=drek911.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/feeds/111824360636451520/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7670370&amp;postID=111824360636451520' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/111824360636451520'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7670370/posts/default/111824360636451520'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drek911.blogspot.com/2005/06/wednesday-already.html' title=''/><author><name>Derek</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12861429455843936621</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='22' height='32' src='http://img80.exs.cx/img80/3171/Shrek.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
