Friendship

What exactly is friendship?

Looking at the title of this entry and the starting question, you may think that "Hell, anybody in this world would know what's that."

But Hell no. I just read a complain letter written by some anonymous person to "Ask Aunty" in the monthly Reader's Digest, asking for solutions to his brittle friendship.

Obviously, he is well concerned about this friendship of his, while the other party does not.

I believe that anyone of you should have encountered some form of difficulties in life when it comes to friendship.

Why do we always get so confused and completely baffled by our friendships?

I heard of endless grumblings about others, we do. I, myself had been and am on sunken "ships". Why these things happen? How? Ever ask yourself those questions?

This is how God created man and this is how we were born to this earth as sons of God. We are unique in our own ways, having distinctive personalities that differ vastly from others.

We therefore view friendships in different perspectives. That is when complications occur.

Some people value friendships just a little too much. They are too afraid of losing them and are willing to do anything to get them back if they lose them.

Some idiots and heartless people treat friends like temporary "tools." They use them to see them through obstacles in life or to satisfy their needs, neglecting them when they are useless.

Some people are more than dumb to not know what are true friendships. They value the wrong ones, neglecting the ones who cared for them the most.

Couldn't be blamed. Maybe people are born that way, never knowing what they have now are the "golds" that many are yearning and searching for.

Time never waits for us. Time can never be recycled. Do what you can now to value those who treat you right and well. It's never too late.

-Friendships are hard to come by, why destroy them?-
-In a hope to be friends again.

Boredom Kills

Is your holidays getting dull? Getting bored with all the mundane activities and daily routines of your life? Well, it's time to start doing something different.

Here's a suggestion from me that might be able to lighten up your life a little - Sudoku. Some of you, the sudoku haters would think that this is an awfully bad idea.

There are two things about sudoku that makes people dislike doing it.

1. You don't know how to solve the puzzle.
2. You think it's too easy and boring.

Either ways, the reasons are still not good enough for you to avoid doing it.

For newbies, you can always check out Edwin's blog for the instructions and the solutions for sudoku. Or you can google "Sudoku" to find out yourself. It's a simple game.

If you still think that the game is incomprehensible or the information from the web is not enough to clear your doubts, feel free to consult me :)

As for those professionals/masterminds who think sudoku is too easy for them, try doing hypersudoku, one of the variants of sudoku. Hypersudoku is not only challenging, it is very logical and of course, solveable. An example :-

Not to worry. It's not diabolically hard that one puzzle itself can digest your entire brain. Try thinking of it as an entertainment and an exercise to kill time and to reactivate your rusty mind during this holiday. Here's the solution :-

But if you are too smart to the extent that you still think hypersudoku is nothing challenging, try nonomino sudoku and samurai sudoku.

Those two variants of sudoku will definitely be able to blow your brains into bits. Here are some examples :-

Nonomino Sudoku

Samurai Sudoku

Good Luck with that.

You should watch the beauty of Ving Tsun being performed by Donnie Yen, acting as Master IP Man in the movie - ip man.

The Chinese Kung Fu - Ving Tsun that is best used in close combat focuses not only on great speed, but also on softness and power.

I highly recommend this movie to you guys if there're more boring days ahead of you. I can guarantee that the movie will be worth watching, even more than once. Unless you have no interest at all in Kung Fu movies.

The fighting scenes from ip man have been replaying in my mind ever since the movie ended. I even compared Master Ip Man's kung fu with Frank Martin's fighting style in Transporter 3. Obviously, Chinese kung fu is better.

Seriously, ip man probably is the best kung fu film ever produced.

And yup, I watched Transporter 3 today as well. I admit that I'm a movie mania, but am far from being extreme.

The movie is just okay to me and it's not as good as the first one. Don't bother watching it. Watch ip man instead :)

Well, what a day indeed.

Erm.. Another Outing?

Yes indeed. Another "ex-classmate" outing and I planned it again. (No one wants to plan it! And most guy's planning suck!)

This time more people turned up, unlike the previous pathetic one. (So sorry if you are not invited.) Hate it when outings ended badly.

So we watched Wild Child. As expected, typical biatch movie. (Maybe it's a little different from others but they are the same to me) The movie is quite nice actually. I somehow find girls fight interesting xD

After the movie, we had a little tough time finding place to sit down, have something to eat and chat. Blablabla. Went to Secret Recipe because someone suggested it and there's nothing to eat there.

Being considerate, Jo and LF ordered something to eat. Blablabla. WG and bf went back early, leaving me, WH and the rest behind.

We gossiped for quite awhile and then went back. Such a failure. No mood to write it.

I comment, You guess

Well, I just finish reading a particular person's bloggie and I can't wait to comment about it although it's 12.30 am already.

Can't believe I'm sacrificing my sleeping time just because of that person. And I'm not feeling well today. Supposed to be sleeping early! Let's call that person "X" to make things simple for me.

As usual, I read blogs whenever I've got nothing better to do. Clicking the links on my friends' blogs, I clicked on X's blog.

Read X's posts and saw X's pictures, I drew a conclusion about X. The way X writes, it sounded like X's bitching about people. X's writing style is so full of bitchiness, (I know I'm bitching about X right now) but I seriously cannot tahan.

X's a girl, obviously. Likes camwhoring like "MOST" girls do. Her face is just so ordinary without all the makeups but no, she thinks she's beautiful.

I can see how she tried hard to look gorgeous, like those Hollywood celebs posing for the paparazzis on the red carpet. Nope, she's never near there, not even with those color contacts, makeups and dyed hair.

I know I'm not that handsome to comment about her outlooks. But hey, at least I don't talk bad about others in my blog, or do anything relating to their appearances (Now I do, because of you). Don't you know beauty can be found within?

Lucky her, she's got a handsome boyfriend. How unfortunate for him to have her as a girlfriend.

So, take a guess. Guess who's X and leave your answer in the cbox or wherever you like. Or tell me personally if you want it to be kept as a secret :)

No extra clues given. I've given more than enough.

Appreciation

The black antique grandfather clock hanging in the living room strikes 12. There was an almost deafening silence in the house that the chiming of its bell could be heard audibly.

For the past 20 minutes, I sat in front of the computer, hearing nothing but gunshots and the cocking of revolvers. Peering down at my Swatch, the needles were indeed positioned vertically, pointing at the number 12.

Reluctant to go to bed, I walked on, soon to realize that bloodshed awaits me at the other side of the wall.

"The night is still young," I always told myself. Nevertheless, if this continues, my health will be in great danger.

Expecting another dull and unexciting day to come, I preferred lying down on my warm single bed every morning, letting 1/5 of the day to slip away.

Yesterday, I went to SS2 with Khy Li, bringing along my sister with me. Sat down at Hailam Kopitiam, ordered drinks and chatted. It's yumcha, as we called it. I shined brightly that day, you get what I mean. 2 hours flew away just like that.

This morning, my mom came into the house, holding a pile of letters while she called out for me.

As expected, I got a letter from my friend, Michelle. It was only 2 days ago when she asked for my house address.

I still have the first package received from you in 2006 with me. Thanks a lot. Appreciate it.

Two years later, today. I receive something from you again, but I have not sent you even a single letter. Sorry. SMS can? xD

A Christmas tree from Michelle, counting down the days for Christmas :) Thanks again

FAMILY

Staring into the blank space in the middle of the night,
Listening to the music as the sound waves propagated into my ear canal.
Wonderful memories flushed into my mind uncontrollably,
Filling my lungs with satisfaction and nostalgia instantaneously.

Reminiscing more of my past events excavated some bad remembrances.
Looking thoughtfully at the wrongdoings i had brought about,
I realized how irrational I was when it comes to making decisions,
Messing things up when they were supposed to have happy endings.

Gazing at the swaying pendulum of the grandfather clock,
I noticed time is running out as the ticking clock beats my heart rapidly.
Adjusting the complications have become gradually impossible,
But I believe that this broken bridge could still be mended.

With much perseverance I need, as well as the guidance and aid from you,
Letting you down I shall not as I strive hard to better myself unceasingly.
I shall never stop loving and appreciating you,
Until the day when the earth stood still before all sons of God.

Malacca - Historical City

Malacca has always been known for its chronicles. Tourists from countries around the globe came all the way to Malacca regardless of the scorching weather. A Famosa, Bukit Cina, Cheng Hoon Teng temple, and Hang Li Poh well, just to name a few are the must-visit historical sites in Malacca. No doubt Malacca is one of the main attractions of Malaysia.

Speaking of Malacca, all I can think of is hot, boring, and boring, nothing much. Can't blame me. Malacca is my father's hometown. I have been to almost all the historical places for God knows how many times already.

So, what other things are left for me to do there? Fishing? My grandmother's house is nowhere near jungles and rivers. You can imagine the heat gushing into the spacious house when someone opens the wooden door. Air conditional? You sponsor, then I get cool air. But, it's a bad idea also. She can't stand the cold much. Don't torture her.

MALACCA IS SO HOT AND BORING!

Yesterday, my family took a day trip back to Malacca to visit my grandmother. I woke up reluctantly, thinking that this trip is going to be like the previous trips - boring. Surprisingly, it's different, much different. Listen.

It started off the same with me SLEEPING throughout the whole 2 hour journey, only to find myself half awake upon reaching. Went in the house, greeted my grandmother, sat on the rattan chair and continued my sleep. The hard rattan chair could not even hinder me from having another 2 more hours of sleep until lunch time. My fatigueness could be explained by the lack of sleep during the one week of finals.

Lunch time was where the fun began. We went to the same old vegetarian restaurant and were expecting the same old dish we had the last time we came. Thank God. Someone was holding a wedding function there, so, obviously there wasn't any place for us to dine there. I was smiling only :)

Next, we headed off to another vegetarian restaurant just opposite the road. FYI: My grandmother is a vegetarian, so we have to conform to her eating habits. Anyway, the restaurant was crowded and according to the waiter, we had to wait for a long time if we were to order. No waiting! Everyone was starving! So off we go.

Went to Mahkota Parade. You might be wondering how on earth will there be a vegetarian restaurant in a shopping complex. We wondered too, but my grandmother insisted that there is one there. As we walked around, desperately finding the restaurant, we found ourselves in Le Garden Cafe minutes later.

Didn't know a cafe will offer vegetarian food. So it ended upwith my grandmother eating her vegetarian food and us eating MEAT! The most delectable meal I ever had in Malacca :) *exaggerating*

Guess what's for dessert? McDonald's Chocolate Sundae! A cup per person including my grandma. Cool! Never seen her eating ice-cream before. And she ate it fast.

Had a great time in Malacca. I love one day trips! Went back shortly after we had our ice-creams.

Who Says MORAL is NOT IMPORTANT?

AS I flipped through the moral notes, I found out that most of the information in it is trivial. But yet, why are the government forcing us, the younger generations of Malaysia to take up MORAL as a subject? Isn't moral supposed to be practical as well? Why all the notes?

The government is naive enough to think that by giving us some theoretical moral guidance in schools and colleges, we will turn into some morally strong and ethical animals. They try to instill those moral values in us with the aid of professional, well-trained and thought to be as "moral" teachers and lecturers, giving us three hours of lullabies per week that put us to sleep when we are struggling to concentrate.

What's best is that the government already knew that we, the younger generations, are ever practicing truancies, skipping classes that are dull and stupid. Smart! They also knew that MORAL is a subject that falls into that category. So, they tried to deter truancies. How? Students are not allowed to skip at most 5 classes, which is about 7 and a half hours of lullabies or they are barred, which also means that they have to retake MORAL, which ultimately means more REVENUE for them. What a brilliant Idea! Killing two birds with one stone.

But do the govenment know that we actually cared less to concentrate in those pointless moral classes? They are just wasting their time and our time, wasting resources, wasting everything, including their brain juice. Of course, they don't mind at all. As I mentioned, they knew students are getting immoral these days and they are involving themselves in many social problems, any problems you can think of. So, not many students will be able to pass this "subject."

Their main concern might be only $$ <----- this.

Therefore, who says moral is not important? Moral is important to keep the economy going. Moral is one of the "main" profits that the government sector can generate from from the academic sector. Moral is important to us students as well because it's the only class where we can rest our minds, not having to think and write much.

However, let us smile and try our best to pass this freaking subject before the government and the college smile back at us for the $$ we insert into their big pockets.

Good luck and all the best to all MORAL students. Hope you can at least pass the subject. A 50% would be just enough to make that happen :)
