Moduled Madness

Labels: Rantings 2 comments

Ugh, wonder why must some people come up with all sorts of ways to make your life more miserable.

Found out that i cannot bid for the Psychology modules i want because i have not yet declare my major.

The funny thing is that i cannot declare my major because i do not fulfill the requirement which is taking the PL2131 Statistics module.

To make matters worse, i cannot take PL2131 module because i cannot bid for it as i have yet to declare my major.

Which brings the problem back to the start.

So how the heck am i supposed to major in Psychology now?

Need or Want?

Labels: Life's Philosophies, Movies 3 comments

Went to watch Princess and the Frog today.

Despite what some "mature" people might say that it is a cartoon movie from Disney so it would not be nice because it is for small children, i find the movie quite nice. Being a teenager or young adult does not necessarily mean you have to start watching horror movies with everyone getting killed by cancer or a mad fella with a chainsaw every time you visit the cinema. It's nice to become a kid again and immerse yourself in a happily ever after fairy tale. Besides, it would not hurt watching movie that is funny, exciting and touching at the same time. And it adds a new twist to a story that we heard a thousand times quite nicely. Not forgetting, for the first time in Disney cartoon, i think, it has (spoiler alert!) someone dying! A perfect movie to watch with friends or the special someone.

I also like the message that the story is trying to bring out.

(Another thing that i like about Disney movies, it actually makes you think after the movie)

What we want may not be necessarily what we need.

In fact, i heard this a lot of times in church! But putting this in a movie makes me take the message from a whole new different perspective.

We as humans are greedy creatures, to be honest. We want lots of things. In fact, there may be no end to what we might want! We might want a high end computer to play games, a big house to live in, lots of money to spend, good looks and admiration from people.

But we do not realize that usually the things we want might not necessarily help us to live a better life! We might think that we cannot live without them, confusing our wants with our needs, when we can do perfectly fine without them. Sometimes, our wants might even cause us to lose something precious or mess up our lives. Example, a high end computer, may equal to more time spent on playing games and not focusing on studies. Lots of money to spend might cause us not to value the importance of money and may be even have us end up being robbed.

Confused?

Lets talk about the boy-girl-relationship or the boyfriend/girlfriend issue.

Almost all of us would want a boyfriend/girlfriend. It may be due to various reasons like peer pressure, the trend in society nowadays, media influence or the guy/girl who is putting the pressure on you.

But are we sure that a boyfriend/girlfriend would make our lives better? Especially at a schooling age? Are we sure that we cannot survive without one? Are we willing to cope with the responsibilities and burden that comes with the romance? Most importantly, do we need it?

I noticed most of the time many teenagers got into a relationship just because they merely wanted it for the sake of having a relationship. They want to feel good, enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling without realizing that a relationship might also mean heartbreaks and disappointments. Not a very good idea if you're not ready to cope. And when breakups do happen, it's time to blame it on everything and everyone without really thinking might it be our fault for confusing what we want and what we really need.

We might want to be in a relationship now because there is a hot guy/girl confessing, but do we really need someone whom we are not close with and is confessing to us randomly or do we deserve someone who is better and understands us more though the relationship might not be now?

Need or Want?

Just like in the movie, the Princess wanted a really big restaurant no matter what the cost and the Prince wanted to marry a rich lady so he could always enjoy life without any worries but in the end, they found out that what they really needed was not a really big restaurant or a rich lady but each other.

Wishing for a Neverland

Labels: Rantings 2 comments

In a few more days, the clock will strike 12 and it's the beginning of a whole new year.

Time really flies, don't it?

I'm gonna be 20 years of age, no more a carefree teenager but more of what they call a "young adult". I never liked growing old. With it comes so much responsibility, stress and uncertainty. You will have to learn to fend for yourself, charting your own path of life, unlike the days where your parents have the path in front of you planned out nicely.

Sometimes i really wish for time to stop and i could be like this forever. No worries, no pressure. Just like Peter Pan! And to think back that i was laughing at Peter Pan's "stupidity" for choosing to remain young when i was still a child. Guess now i finally understand why. If only there is a Neverland that i could visit.

Merry Christmas and most importantly, Happy Birthday (Sorry too!)

Labels: Religion, Special Occasion 0 comments

Happy Birthday, my best friend, my savior and my reason to live.

I wish to personally thank you for everything you have gave me in my life though i have never been a good believer to start with, even after 19 years of believing.

Coming to NUS have been such a different experience, with me leaving my comfort zone, with so many questions and doubts in my heart. Met with so many people, faced with so much problems and stress.

But you never left me, always there, always present for me. In my darkest hours, my lowest moments, you're always with me. Thank you.

Thanks for coming to the world 2000 years ago to show me a reason to live aside from wealth, fame or glory for ourselves. On this special day, your birthday Lord, i wish to dedicate this post to you, no matter what others think because u made my life complete.

Thanks.

A nice Christmas song

To my friends whom i hurt today, especially Xian You, a personal sorry to each and everyone of you.
The only reason i was angry is because we are friends.
I'm never good at expressing words face to face, but i wish you all to know that i never blamed anyone for what happened today. I know no one should be blamed given the circumstances.

Sorry for making you all angry, you guys reserve the very rights of being pissed off at me for acting so immaturely, because i never consider seeing things from your point of view.

But this is one of the proof that we are friends, because friends put feelings into their relationship and when they do that they would have the chance to get hurt too. Normally i would not give a damn when it comes to other people. I was angry because i was looking forward to watching the movie with you guys after what we have discussed. Sorry again, i hope you would understand too

Christmas Eve

Labels: Special Occasion 0 comments

It's hard to believe it's already Christmas!

This is the first time i'm celebrating Christmas away from my hometown and church and my friends in 19 years and i must say i miss how i used to celebrate it years before.
The countdown, the performances, the happiness, the lame jokes (mostly made by me).

This year i sort of celebrated Christmas Eve by following my hostel's choir team to Mandarin Oriental Hotel to do some coverage for their caroling. Did a sort of countdown to Christmas in a bus minus the popping of firecrackers and the insane screams which i'm so used to. The only sort of thing worth celebrating is maybe the S$ 179 (roughly RM 400+?) buffet that i got for covering the carol.

If people asked how i celebrated Christmas Eve, i would say i enjoyed a very expensive buffet at a very expensive hotel.

Will be going to City Harvest to celebrate Christmas later.
What's a good Christmas celebration without going to church?
Because the reason we're celebrating Christmas in the first place is to commemorate Jesus Christ's birthday.
Not Santa's.
Or else it'll be Santa-mas.

Ma Exam Results

Labels: Life Updates 0 comments

Received my first (again) exam results yesterday.

I've been receiving these damned exam results since i was in Primary 1 and i still can't help but feel extremely nervous every time there are exam results to be announced. Sometimes, it just feels like a lucky draw.

You'll never know what results you gonna get until that day, but of course, in a lucky draw, everyone has an equal chance of winning but in exams, your chance of doing well is directly proportional (speaking in highly intellectual terms lol) to the effort you put in.

No effort means sucky results.

Ops, sorry to rant on and on about all these "philosophies".

Lets see, i wouldn't say my results are good or neither they are quite bad either.

I have a B+, 2 Bs, 1 B- and a C+ so i got a CAP of 3.3 out of 5 after you divide everything out.

Like usual, i'm the middle average guy.

A post with LOTS of photos

Labels: Life Updates, Pictures 0 comments

Woots, i finally have time to update my blog after so many hectic days of having fun.

Yeap, having fun could be hectic too when you have to walk here and there for the whole day.

I think i actually managed to cut some weight as a result of over-walking this few days.

Went to Orchard, wanted to do some shopping but gave up after seeing the immensely expensive stuff there.

But i still had a good time as the decorations there are quite nice and enjoyed the talking cock and doing lots of stupid stuff there with the gang.

Here are some pictures:

What kind of emergency that needs you to pull down the pants? Hmm...

Me in pink again, this time with a skullcap!

(is it called a skull cap? i'm not good with clothing anyway)

Group photo beneath one of the many big Christmas trees u can find at Orchard

The biggest Kinder Bueno in Singapore?

Photos of night view in Orchard:

And this is Jason Teh after a hard day shopping around Orchard:

Besides going to Orchard, i also followed Eusoffworks (my hostel's media wing) outing to somewhere near Clarke Quay. It's a photography outing which means i have to take a lot of photos, so me and my trusty N79 got down to work capturing those moments which shall forever be "Scandal Photos".

(The DSLR cameras were all occupied, so i have to settle with N79)

Scandal 1: Jason trying to take pictures of Kok Weng's leg hair

Scandal 2: Jason stalking Erin

Scandal 3: Erin: "No, Jason! You can't take photos of my leg hair!"

Scandal 4: Look at Jason's expression when he's looking at Erin

Scandal 5: Jason sharing a cup with 2 other guys! OMG!

If you have noticed, all the "Scandal Photos" revolve around only Mr Jason Teh. Well, this is because he's owing me S$ 1000 and have still not yet repay me yet so this is one of the way i'm using to force him to repay the money he owes me.

I'm just joking.

The real reason is because i'm jealous that his more handsomer than me.

And please do not misunderstand the photos up there, especially Erin's boyfriend. Those photos are not really scandal photos so you do not have to think of ways to whack Jason. It all lies in holding the camera and capturing the perfect moment when the situation looks like scandal.

Speaking of capturing the perfect moment, here are some other "epic" photos i took:

The 2 professional PIB (Photographers In Black)

Poster for the upcoming movie, Lovingly Revenge, starring Jason Teh, Erin Ong and the revenger, Ng Kok Weng.

Erin and Kok Weng admiring the beautiful scenery

Sharing a light moment together

Jason: (speaking to the statue) You jump, i jump.

Kok Weng: The dude next to me have gotta see a doctor.

Erin: Whatever! I'm taking a photo of the hot guy opposite the river.

Me: Mercy, oh Mr Raffles! I promise not to self-praise myself handsome anymore!

Ain't i handsome?

(Ops, did i just forgot my promise to Mr Raffles?)

Wow, guess i have to stop uploading pictures already or risk having this post to take forever to load.

Well, you can't blame me actually.

It's the holidays anyway, and i just got back my phone after a few months without it.

So now i'm taking all the pictures i can with the phone, pictures of me eating, going out, playing, bathing, doing my business in the toilet, blogging, breathing......

Why?

Labels: Life's Philosophies, Rantings 3 comments

I'm emo again.

Even after so many numerous outings with my friends.

I hate to be emo, i really do, but when life sometimes gets too much to handle, i really can't help it.

To be honest, i'm not exactly the biggest fan of myself.

Many of my friends regard me as a "perasan" person who always self praise himself, having overflowing sense of self esteem. But how many really do know me on the inside?

When i look at my friends, i can't help but wonder why am i brought into this world.

You see, unlike my friends, i pretty suck at everything.

Singing, dancing, acting, studying, anything.

In fact, i often wonder what i really have inside myself that is worth mentioning.

And life can be so unfair sometimes when you have nothing to offer.

You'll be cast aside, ignored, unnoticed, unappreciated, just another person in the background.

This is the world.

Where "normal" is shit and only those who are strong, those on top on the social ladders will be exalted.

But please, don't bother coming to me in person and consoling me.

I'm ok.

I know the advice about everyone being unique and God loving everyone.

In fact, the knowledge about God loving everyone uniquely, without discrimination, is what makes me going.

It's just that sometimes that i can't help but to question why God want to make a world that is so unfair.

Why indeed.

Pink!

Labels: Pictures, Random 2 comments

People say that i like to wear pink.

Usually i would react to that statement by saying that i only have a pink shirt in my entire closet.

Just one!

But after seeing these photos that Xian You took during our Pangkor-Sunway trip, i finally understands why all my friends say i like to wear pink.

Because i look GOOD in it!

If you have noticed, all of these pictures are taken with me in a pink shirt.

And its the same design!

Hmm, maybe i could just consider switching my entire closet to pink since i look good in it.

Maybe pink pants, pink shoes and even pink underwear!

(The origin of my weird taste in pink is still unknown, but experts believe that it may be due to my sort-of-gay-ish buddy Mr David Wong and my blur blur ex, Miss Song Jia Yee)

Back in NUS!

Labels: Life Updates, Pictures 2 comments

I'm back in Singapore!

Back with a new (handsomer) look thanks to my awesome specs and cool haircut.

Got back my old N79 phone too!

And since now i can take picture again, what am i waiting for?

First photo must be a cam-whore!

New hairstyle, new specs but not new clothes.

And you can't trust Nokia phones to take clear pictures >.<

First thing that i did after coming back to Singapore was to clean my room, which happens to be also my first time in my life cause i rarely clean my room back in Malaysia (cause got mum and dad) and man, its not easy. Not to mention the job was made tougher with me being inexperienced.

I happened to mop the floor first, then clean the fan and had to mop the floor again because of the dust that dropped on the floor when i was cleaning the fan.

Never knew housework needed skills, thanks mum and dad.

Another shocking thing that happened was when i asked for lunch.

Me: So, where are we going for lunch today?

Friend (I forgot who said it so i'll just put friend): Oh, we're cooking ourselves.

Me: I see, cooking as in cooking Maggie mee?

Friend: No! That's so unhealthy!

Me: Erm, so what are we cooking then?

Friend: *said something which i forgot but i knew my reaction was =.="" *

The =.="" reaction was because i had no prior or minimal cooking experience. Heck, most of the time my job was only to eat when i was at home. At most i would just stand and observe how my mum or grandparents cooked.

Which was the reason why i stood at one corner and took pictures while the pros cooked.

Huang Hua boiling the soup

The same scene from different angle (i really had nothing to do)

New scandal for the day, Jason and Huang Hua!

Can be our dad and mum?

Jason: Die, eggs!!!

Datuk Dr Seri Tan Sie Wee and Mr Ng Kok Weng playing with the pork.

But they're still more pro than me T.T

Well, after being left at the sidelines while the pro cooked, eventually i mustered enough courage to cook what i know how to cook.

Eggs!

The eggs which i was cooking.

Turned into a laughing material when we all realized that i was cooking without turning on the electrical switch

Note to self: Learn cooking from mum and grandparents!

A trip to the hairstylist

Labels: Life Updates 2 comments

I went to have a normal haircut today.

Normal haircut then magically turned into an expensive scalp treatment plus a long sales presentation to buy a so called "organic" shampoo.

Hairstylist say my scalp is gonna die with all those dandruff and bacteria running wild on my scalp.

Did the treatment and bought the shampoo without much thought because i want my hair to stay on my head at least until i'm 30.

Then i'll go bald happily when there is enough money for me to go bald

(there's a Cantonese saying that 9 out 10 baldies are rich and i definitely want to be the 9).

Hairstylist say its my lack of sleep and stress that is driving the bacterias wild with reproduction.

F***

Now even the hairstylist is asking me to sleep early besides my Psychology book, my parents, Mr Jason Teh, some bloody scientists from America and the pig next door.

With so many motivation to sleep early, what am i still doing here updating my blog at 2am in the morning?

A view of my scalp problem

Happy Stuff

Labels: Life Updates 0 comments

I'm on a blogging spree!

Have been updating my blog since nuts after coming back to Ipoh.

Have many things to blog about i guess, since i spent 19 of my living years here.

Gonna post something not-so-depressing now since got people comment that my blog is full of depressing stuff since coming back to Ipoh.

After counting like a dozen of spiders weaving webs around my head (I think i can pass as Spider-web-man), i went out first to Jusco to try to buy some movie tickets and to look for a book "Can A Smart Person Believe in God" by Michael Guillen (No, it's not about me being smart or anything, the book is about whether a person can believe in religion and science at the same time) while meeting up with Nicole and her friend, Pei Mun.

Went back to dinner and then out again to celebrate my ex-colleague, Jess, birthday at a 3+1 shop (where you get to steamboat + fry + bbq at the same time, yeah they even have 3+1 now) with her boyfriend, her friend and another of my ex-colleague, Cheryl. Not a very good move after having dinner. Can't manage to stuff a lot of stuff in and still have to pay.

After that drove all the way to McD near Jusco to meet up with Yee Kheng, Tyrael and Ting Jiun. Since the queue inside McD really long (so much for ~~FAST~~ food), we decided to take the drive-thru as it as it was surprisingly faster.

Continued our night in Ginn Yi's house watching Borat, a hilariously sick movie, but nevertheless, a must watch especially if you are stuck with a bunch of Single Handsome Guy buddies with no girls and nothing else to do. However, be prepared for some sick scenes from the movie (imagine Brokeback Mountain, but much worse).

After reaching home and signing into my MSN, i found a close friend of mine last time whom i have lost contact with for a long long time is online!

Chat with her and found out that she is now studying music in Taiwan. Wow!

Surprisingly also she still reads my blog.

Thanks!

And also, Ginn Yi has finally uploaded my much awaited picture that we took in Nokia Care the other day!

What else could make my day better?

Cheers!

One spider, two spider, three spiders.....

Gosh, i've been sitting in front of my computer rotting for about a few hours already and now there are even spiderwebs around my head.

I have practically nothing to do now, even in front of my computer, except browsing through blogs of unknown people, spamming on a few Facebook mini games like Plock and waiting for another spider to weave its web on me.

Day 3 Rantings

Labels: Life's Philosophies, Religion 0 comments

Imagine hearing about the latest gossip in your hometown about a friend of yours who recently had his first encounter with sex. Or the gossip about bitchy girls sleeping around with guys openly without hesitation. Or your best friend lamenting to you about how life sucks back here, with constant worries about money and where to have fun next.

Then imagine reading a book, "Tortured For Christ", about people of the same age as those mentioned above, in another part of the world, fighting not to survive, but to spread the gospel of Jesus, without worrying about their lives knowing that unexplainable brutality awaits them because of what they are doing.

Unlike us who only know how to worry about studies, boy-girl relationships and money, they have to worry about evading capture from "secret polices" and the safety of their family who could be tortured just to get them to give up their faith.

And yet, when compared to them, i do not feel lucky at all to have a life like mine. Sometimes i envy those who can selflessly fight for their beliefs under horrifying tortures and yet feel a sense of unexplainable joy and peace under all these circumstances.

I complain when i have to eat bread for dinner but for them, bread seems like a luxury compared to the rotten cabbage they have to endure in prison.

And yet, they are happy.

I think that this is the way God works.

Just when i am bitterly complaining about my life, asking God why do some people get to have so much wealth in their life or why some guys are so talented while i suck at everything i do or why some guys get to enjoy things like sex and alcohol in life while i can't,

God took me aside and showed me another face of life.

I feel Him speaking to me through a simple book that i so happen to come across when i was so busy comparing my "miserable" life with others.

"A purposeful and happy life do not necessary have to come from owning a lot of worldly wealth (Like having 10 Ferrari in your garage) or being a celebrity that the whole world idolizes or having an unexceptional talent that awes the world or having a group of hot girls as your wives or sex partners.

NO

Look at these people who owns nothing, not known by anyone else except those who lives they came to touch, who eat rotten cabbage for their breakfast, lunch and dinner. From a materialistic viewpoint, their life virtually sucks. Yet, they are happy and they are content. They have a purposeful life.

And their joy, peace and purpose do not come from any worldly objects like a Ferrari or a LCD Plasma TV, but rather a burning love for someone called Jesus Christ. And even if they have to die for that love, they are willing to. How many of us are willing to give our life for a Ferrari?"

I still have a LOT to learn about life.

Day Two

Labels: Life Updates, Rantings 2 comments

Day Two in Hometown.

So far so good-lah. Settled some of my major things that i wanted to settle, like getting my driver license renewed, meeting up with buddies, getting a new pair of spectacles, catching up with the latest hometown gossip and having my mum lecture me 24-7 on the 100 ways to save money.

Been quite emo on the first day, as some of you might have noticed if you have seen my Facebook, but it is nothing now already, i'm fine, no worries.

Just had a short emotional burst and when you're having emotional bursts, sitting down with a computer in front of you, especially with your Facebook account logged on is not a very good idea 'cause you tend to lash out at whatever you can get your hands on.

(considering the fact that diaries are out of the trend now)

I have to admit that i was wrong for not thinking it through before posting what i felt on Facebook, because of what my might happen if my parents heard about it.

(or what might future employer might think, but i'm not worried that much for this)

So a BIG sorry to some of you who are shocked and disappointed and a BIG sorry to also my parents for being rude.

(yeah, my parents do read my blog, and i am not good with saying sorry face to face)

I understand that not all are born rich and not all have parents are able to support their child in uni without problems. I know that by being in where i am i now is already a privilege not many will have and no matter how hard the road in front might be, i will not question why again.

I guess this is how life works.

It can never be fair.

You'll just have to make the best out of what you get in life.

No complains.

Holidays are here!

Labels: Life Updates, Videos 1 comments

Hey peeps!

Finally my first holidays (there's a lot of first this year, i know) in uni is here!

Gonna head back home, then to Pangkor and then to Sunway to enjoy myself with my uni friends not to mention burning a big hole into my own wallet (ouch!) with all the expenses.

And then after all these have to start school all over again.

Provided that my parents would not kill me first cause it's their money that i'm burning.

Well, before that, wanna share the video that i made for my Sentosa trip.

After Exam Trip at Sentosa!

Labels: Life Updates, Pictures 2 comments

Yeah man!

A day, or rather 5 hours after playing online games until 5 am til the morning and you have me going to Sentosa island to have round 2 of "Exam is Over!" Celebration!

I was thinking of "letting the aeroplane go" (FFK) due to the lack of sleep, but well, couldn't say no to a beach trip with lots of hot girls going right?

50% of them is attached though, but i'm not complaining.

Besides, i still can watch bikini clad "ang moh" (foreigners) sunbathing which is such a rare sight at Malaysian beaches.

There you have "tudung" clad girls sunbathing instead.

Enough of talking, time for photos!
