Waves

Waves are everywhere. From sound wave, to real life ocean wave. But I'm not gonna talk about those this time. I'm half asleep, so I'm not gonna make lame jokes to entertain you guys, or post some lame photos. Somehow, I've gotten to think about this, what's the current wave? What's the current culture?

Generally, I have NO idea~! But for a group of FCC-ians, it's gotta be blogging. Time for some history. When I just reached here, I think soccer was the wave. Then, it was leader's retreat organized by Isaac Sim. Sooner after that, we had indoor games wave (carrom, chinese chess, etc..). New church building hyped us up. Now, I can strongly believe, the most "in trend" wave that hit FCC is blogging. If evidence is what you need, evidence is what I'm giving you.

First, we had old people who had left blogging for good, blogging once again. Who you might wonder? Then click da link la.. Otherwise, why is it there for? Anyway, there's also some old people who have been encouraged to blog once again, and after some persuasion, has not just started blogging again, but changed the entire template and look of his blog! Of course, there are also old people who have changed their blogging domain sites just to show his new commitment towards blogging! Also, some fella have just changed the entire url for his blog so that he is not left out in the "xiao" family~!

Enough about old people? Not so fast to the new bloods. We cannot forget to give credits to the people who have remained faithful to blogging all these years, and never stopped at all right. Him, him, him, him, him and her. They are very loyal fellas, towards blogging. Don't think they can live a day without a computer.

Of course, the new bloods. Some have opted to start blogging for the fun of blogging. Some have opted to blog so that they are not left out. (peer pressures from friends). Some started it because I asked them why have they abandoned their blog. Some started because their brothers have blogs. Some started just because she wants to be heard by others as well. Some started because their best buddies forced them to starting it. Some people even started blogs so that their lameness can spread even throughout the internet, even when they are not telling lame jokes in front of you...

No matter what your reasons are, blogging is growing among us, especially the FCC-ians. We will just wait for episodes of hakka lessons and take pride in our vulgar yet interesting language. We will wait for people to start putting c-boxes up and spam it by saying stuffs like "testing 1 2 3" and "high praise~!".. We will even go to lengths of checking everyone's blog everyday, and hope to be the first to comment in their most recent post~!

Well, it got me wondering, how long will this wave last? What's the next wave? I dunno. I do hope that blogging unites us.

PS: Not all blogs are linked here. A fella's blog might have been linked twice. Not everyone's blog are linked accordingly and not every link here are FCC-ian. Haha. I bet you clicked almost everyone's link, stopped halfway, and then gave up linking until you reach the fella who started a blog to lame others, and clicked on it. Anyway, I'm just being myself when I'm tired.

Captain Ball

It's quite a surprising fact that not many know the fun-filled game of Captain Ball.

One might have guessed that in this game, there is a captain for each team, and your guess is right. Otherwise, it'll be called captainless ball. Ok, lame enough. I know. Anyway, back to the topic. Captain ball, if I'm not mistaken, is played somewhat like "Bola Jaring" aka NetBall. Instead of having a hoop as goal, a person stands on a chair and is guarded by a defender from the opposing team. Can't get the picture? I'll have some Microsoft Paint diagrams to help you.
I guess the diagrams quite blur. Keepers are the one at the ends of the field. They are people standing on chairs. Players are people running around in the middle, trying to pass the ball to the keeper. Once the keeper catches it, their team score 1 goal. Defenders are those standing just in front of their opposing team's keeper, and they'll try their best not to let the ball reach the keeper. Rules are simple. Players cannot dribble with the ball, or even move if they have the ball. They can only either pass it, or shoot it.
Well, if you are more than interested to find out more on this game, do go to Faith Christian Center this coming Sunday (6th July), at 4 pm. Yeah, there'll be an event called Youth Captain Ball. Don't be conned by the word youth, it's not restricted only for youths, it's open to all~!.
What's a better way to know a game besides experiencing it first hand!!

Cheated~!

Ever feel cheated?

Ever feel conned?

I just felt it.

I've been quite crazy with Call of Duty 4. Frankly speaking, it's the game I like the most at this moment. So, I always play it in cyber, everytime I'm in a cyber. I even purposely went to cyber for that particular game.

I've been downloading it for a week. It is a 6.32 Gb file, shared by some fella online. Wasted like eternity. Finally I've finished downloading it. However, it's in .iso format. So I downloaded another software to specifically unzip this file. After that, my brother installed it. Single player, cant play. Multi player, cant play also.

I feel so bo song~! (In a sense, no mood).. I've all my hopes in this download and it turns out like this....

So now I'm publicly asking, does anyone have the game (in a installer cd). I NEED IT~!!!

Crossroads

I've come to lots of junctions in my life.. Yeah, almost everytime I drive, I'll come to a junction...


There are just so many types of junctions. T-junctions, crossroads, roundabout, a branching to the left, a branching to the right, etc...

Sometimes in life, I really don't know how to decide. Cruel thing about growing up is not the facts of life, the reality of the difficulty to strive in this life, but endless decision making scenarios that are sure to make you regret one way or another...

Victor Lee once said "Junctions in life are not like junctions on the road, you can easily make a 3 point turn if you took the wrong turning, but it might not be possible if you made the wrong decision."

Ok, I'm really confused. Why? Cause I'm quoting myself...

Alright, in life, I do struggle a lot. From the biggest decisions in life, to the smallest. From whether to be an engineer or lawyer, to whether to eat economy rice or chicken rice. From whether to compete in basketball competitions, to shooting or dribbling. Man, decisions are a never ending process!

Now, I'm considering whether to further my studies beyond what I am doing now or not. Now, I'm considering which ministry to prioritise. Now, I'm considering which ministries to take and which to let go. Now, I'm considering where to settle after I graduate. Now, I'm considering how to spend my holidays. Now, I'm considering whether I should become less hyper active. Now, I'm considering a lot of stuffs.

It's just hard when decisions made come back to haunt you. You thought you took a left turn, but it was actually a roundabout. It's hard when you reach a one-way T-junction. You can only choose either one, no turning back. It's hard when you are going straight, and are prompted with side turnings. You don't know whether the side turnings will lead to a better future, or going straight will.

Life..

PS: I know most of you will ask me to ask God and see what He says..

Brilliant Evening

Not long ago, I had posted that I've watched sunrise all by myself. Today, I got to watch sunset, but this time, thank God, I'm not watching by myself. I watched the romantic sunset with someone special to me. Someone who has always been there for me for the past 2 years in KL.

Stop guessing my friends, yes, her name is none other than Inokom Matrix.

I spent my evening washing my car, and it took me 2 hours 45 minutes.. Yeah, I used that much time just to wash my car..

First, I vacuumed it, then I wiped it clean interiorly, then I soak it in soap, after that I rinse it with water, and finally I wipe it. Took me from 5.15 pm to 8 pm. Crazily tired now.

The next time I see someone complaining that my car's dirty, I'm gonna invite that person to join me for my next car wash. It's gonna be a whole lot faster the next time i wash it. Hehe.

I realised one thing while I was cleaning my car up, the car has served me well these 2 years. As I was washing, I was thinking, without this car, I could not have had so much comfort. Not just me mates. Lots of people wouldn't have enjoyed it. From quick trips to church, to long distance travelling to airport, lots of people have enjoyed benefits from the car. So I am publicly thanking my car for all the 2 years of serving me and my friends. Imagine the car is a transformer, stands up one day and says this " What the heck. I've served you so hard and what do I get in return? Nothing!! Ngo Em Lou Le (I quit in cantonese)"

However, in this world, not everyone appreciates the car. You see, I've found tissues and wrappers in my car left there on purpose from people who thinks that my car's a rubbish car. The next time I get to know who he or she is, I'm gonna say this "Please don't enter my car. It's a rubbish car. It'll pollute you and downgrade you."

Sometimes, I do wonder. Why people don't appreciate cars. Transportation as a whole. I've been fetching and fetching, and I hate to be taken for granted. I believe all drivers do. Thus, I have a personal request to everyone who's being fetched by others. Not just me. Other drivers as well. Next time you get on a car, if there's a rubbish, help that person throw? Or just say a thanks the next time you get out? I dunno, I do say thanks everytime someone fetches me (except when my family does). And always remember, they have the right not fetch you anytime they want. You are not their boss. Keep this in mind.

Why am I bringing this up? The other day, I met a form 5 classmate from US, and we've been talking about courtesy as a whole. Why Malaysia fail and why other countries flourished. Well, courtesy is a big issue. Most of you might be blaming Indians. Worse still Malays? Well, stop blaming people, cause Chinese are to be blamed also. Just answer these simple questions. Do you hold the door for the person behind you? Do you smile when you see someone smiling back? Do you say thanks to the cashier when he or she is serving you? Do you feel thankful for the government? At least, there's no war in Malaysia. Do you clean the toilet after you use it? Just a simple wipe or flush will do at times. Do you tell your friends if you broke something at their place, or just keep it to yourself due to the fear of shame?

The list goes on and on. Well, this isn't an emo post, but just my thoughts. I'm striving to be more courteous this fasting season, and hopefully it'll develop as a habit. And yes, if you ask, I kind of say thanks to all the cashiers. Sometimes, it just makes their day.

PS: I won a cup in power soccer~!

Father's Day

Lots can be said here
Lots can be told here.

My Dad and I, are not as close as any of you imagine, due to the Chinese blood flowing in us.

I still remember, the first time my Dad said I love you was in February, if I'm not mistaken. Was from a message. Simple SMS which shocked me. I was sentimental.

Yet thinking back, I did not spend lots of time with him. Not just him, my entire family. I have been occupied with uni and church ministries that I dun spend time with him. So how? I really wonder. I really want to be a good boy and spend more time at home.

So what's my father's day gift? Will take a pic and post it here soon. Yet, it'll not be as great as the gift I gave my mom. But I said something to him that I've never said to lots of people before. On father's day, i breakthrough. For the first time, I've said I love you to my dad.

Love ya dad cause you're the greatest~!

Thanks is just a small star compared to the galaxy of love you've shown me. Thanks is all I can do now.

I really am considering of letting a few ministries go so I can spend more time with family..
Another sign of aging?

I really wonder
