blessed christmas peeps

It is like a war zone over here you might say. Im running fracas all over trying to complete my assignment due 31st and im apparently far from achieving it before the deadline, unfortunately no thanks to a 4-day trip to Gopeng for Youth Camp. Don't get me wrong, I truly anticipate and miss camps but this bug around me at the moment isn't arousing any part of me, in fact its slicing me gradually. There would not be much of a lengthy joy and relaxation from now till possibly end of my final exam semester 2, which is 10th of January. One of my first times enduring this. Shows Im definitely old already!

Nevertheless, I'm here because Im working on my case study - 3rd one out of 7 to be precise - and found it difficult to overlook this particular video, in which I brand "total insult towards the females." Cut the female part, it is pretty funny actually :) I totally stand by gender equality by the way. Alright returning to the war zone. I enjoyed my short stint during Christmas service this morn fyi, and also this one here. Good bye.

hiatus, the opposite

9 December and 23 December is a pretty huge gap, and this stretch also defines my busy at this moment. Ironice ey? People usually shake their legs on their comfy couches and spend their leave period dreaming about the lovely upcoming Christmas which looms in a matter of days and what sweet little things they have done throughout 2008 while our friend Chong Han Jung actually just realized he has lesser time than the less time he already got.

By the way, if you actually still come along here though its been weeks this fine place has been left deserted, way to go, because your persistence has paid off. You are now feasting your eyes upon a fresh new post bravo!

Also by another way, I'd wish everyone Merry Christmas now before I most likely have no time to post another until final completes itself in early January. So blessed Christmas to every tiny soul on planet "suffocating" Earth. Unfortunately too, I have insufficient resources to contribute much to the spirit of giving this year, and yes, I will feel pretty shameful when on Christmas Day I receive those lovely gifts from you because I hardly gave any.

Not so pleasant a year to end with as you can already see so far hmm? Well 31st is a pretty significant day though. And one of em is i'd be handing up my Ethics assignment then. I was in the bus late night not too long ago, and I came about the thought that hey, deadline is just another week away and there's actually Youth Camp! That is minus 4 days because apparently there is no Wi-Fi service in dreamland Gopeng campsite. I'd be bracing myself for sleepless nights, perhaps starting tonight. McDs would provide me some motivation because there is no bed and my dear pillow around for me to take lazy intervals, but it compensates with additional kilos of sugar in my body. Goodbye and wish me luck before pressing "X". :)

wishing on a wishing star

You know humans us, our wish, wishes, and more wishes? Often times we don't get what we yearn for, and without a doubt im assured ten out of a possible ten times it happens, we would get absolutely upset about it. I would too, but maybe nine out of ten? I might see one of it in a brighter kind of light and think it might be what really is purposed to and will actually reveal in the near future how much better it is then actually having it, or, what i wished for. True? Perhaps, maybe.

you are my livewire


I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

Whether you are going back home - to your wife and children, to your parents and siblings, to the embrace of your love, to the opened arms of Christ Jesus, to your everlasting home- heaven, or simply back to the life you once belonged, a life you simply savoured and loved. Welcome home.

fortitude

I'm back from uni, just though. Our all-notorious rapid KL bus has been at it again the past days, testing my patience with their awful-typical tardy arrival. I wasn't a kid this time like how i reacted the previous time it happened though. With the pleasant reminder that the petrol price is currently rm1.90 - i'm still not saying its REALLY cheap yet though coz we should still be privileged with a lower figure, I decided I should drive there to avoid missing half the Economics lesson, and bring forward discussions for the Econs assignment with my group.

Today's highlight isn't about the bus nor Econs though. It was badminton fitness test! I managed to bring myself and my jelly-like body back after a physically gruelling, energy-sapping, psychologically draining examination. Thought it was a test well accomplished and relieving.

Well the test starts with maximum abilities through a one-minute run up of 6 different activities:

1st: 4-count-squat-thrust is a regular fitness test for badminton players; consisting of 4 motions, first from standing position to squatting with hands laid parallel beside your feet, secondly to the push-up position, then third motion returns to the squatting and lastly back on your feet. I did 34.5 times this one.

2nd: press-up or more commonly, push-up or pumping. by this time slight strains within my body were already seeping through after pushing hard for activity 1, but still felt fresh. I totally broke down when i reached milestone 40.

3rd: star jump! Yeah as obvious as the name describes it. From squatting posture, jump up and look like the twinkling star and back to the original position as one round. Ermm 32 or 34 i think..

4th: trunk curl or as easily, sit-up! 37 times.

5th: wrist-rolling. Supposedly a weight dangling in the middle and rolling the wrist but apparently our Sir - whom he famed himself as a former malaysian badminton coach, said the equipment were missing so we got an automatic 20 rounds for this.

6th but not least: shuttle run. From baseline surge up front and touch the imaginery line bottom of the net and backward run back. 12!

Mind you its all 6 at one time, what on earth.

Fatigue simply overpowered any kind of motivation that could come to my head.

All of us were looking like zombies when we completed. 6 activities at one go (yes brief intervals after every one activity) were quite taxing. Sir said we need to do 3 more rounds! We were sensibly moaning like a big baby. He added the real test is supposedly 6 rounds, up to you to trust that, i don't haha. But the 1/3 dosage of our achievement, meaning sit-ups me 37, divided by 3 rounded up is 12. The 3 rounds run simulataneously till the end to test your overall endurance, how fast you can complete the entire course, subsequently pulse reading, to examine how quick you recover. Nah i just find it interesting to describe the whole experience thoroughly, do bare with me. Never had a test like this my whole life. Hope the legs can carry itself for casual badminton tomorrow though. That 3-rounded speed test, the worst 6mins 10secs of my life, well at least almost. As if the first part was not enough.

Erm dinner at Sri Kembangan with my buddies thereafter and lotsa conversations! Fun fun. And a smooth and swift journey back home. I think my body is yearning for a bath and a well-deserved recuperation for some time already. Good night!

blend isn't exactly good

Thought I might as well include this for today since I mentioned it to bue. Around 5+ our friend gadiy rang me up so i headed to opposite kj lrt station to meet him up - to wait for the Fly troopers! Honestly i haven't collected goodies from whichever troopers for a long long time. Its either i'm too lazy to wait, the goodies aren't attractive enough, or i'm just too cool for it, what nonsense.

Then the buddy said "I think they will come out (yes they were chit chatting in tha car) at 6pm". So patiently we simply stood right in front of em and talked while waiting. He even called me to hit on the trooper chick at the front seat! (; The stupid thing was we decided to leave when they were starting to operate, and that was after waiting for roughly an hour - coz the goodies sucked bad. Nevertheless i choose to instead appreciate talking to him the past hour. And fyi, gadiy decided to stop by again before he left that place and picked up kinda like a file thingo. He even showed me the zip, which has an Adidas logo on it just to prove its a good goodie HAHA!

I got econs quiz tomorrow and i'd be reading through the chapters now, for the third time. I'm more hardworking nowadays ey? Pretty interesting to note.

kindle but douse?

Like to play with the blog post title. To me it seems like a part in your post that is lesser of importance so instead, i'd usually enter something either related to my mood/thoughts, or most times simply some word that pops out and lingers in my head. Thus it could relate to my post, indirectly that is, or otherwise. See? I just made it slightly interesting than just thinking of what cat or dog to write.

Kindle and douse (at least in my brain context) are opposite in its definitions. You either want to do the latter or the former ain't it? But how bout doing both? Does that even strike any sense? I do not know. Perhaps why i'm asking you. Does that even work? What happens to the object whatsoever it might be being inflicted two actions totally contrary to each other? Not so fine ey? heh. Funny why i'm asking whoever you so many qs.

Need to run some music in the head, like exercising it and keeping my buddy going. It feels like a drug though, the aftermath :)

Erm btw, chendol was chendol lar. 3 people and some flashbacks, i think, and several casual but not less interesting conversations. And a little kurang manis, tambah manis, or best, neither.

Owh, today is December first. Nothing significant though. Just, a new day.
