EVERYTHING
Song lyrics | Everything lyrics
Jun Shi kinda got me stuck on this song.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
Guaranteed to make every girl swoon.
Especially when it's Buble. <3

Home sweet home.
Malaysian bloggers warned being monitored: report
Quoting the article"Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders ranks Malaysia 124 out of 169 on its worldwide press freedom index, and says the main media are "often compelled to ignore or to play down the many events organised by the opposition".
The government has previously threatened that bloggers could be punished under draconian internal security laws which provide for detention without trial."
If the government did what it was supposed to do, they wouldn't have time to worry about bloggers.
CHRISTIAN REMINDER
Greg's talk last night from 1 John was really helpful.
He spoke about what really makes a christian 'Christian'.
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
And also
And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
The idea that Christ died for the WHOLE world's sins but not everyone will have Him as an advocate was new to me.
All objective facts.
So regardless of how I feel, of how 'unchristian' I feel I am, the objective facts is that Christ died for my sins and He is now deflecting God's wrath for me.
But how do we know that we are in Christ?
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
No new commandment but a new way of fulfilling the old testament law.
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
I write to you, fathers,
Because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men,
Because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children,
Because you have known the Father.
1 John 2: 1-14 ( All in italics are the verses)
A challenge to keep reevaluating the way we live life.
A challenge to keep in mind the objective facts.
A challenge to obey the old commandment but in a new light.
A challenge to keep going, not dragging feet way but strong and certain way.
All challenges.
That are worth it.
He spoke about what really makes a christian 'Christian'.
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
And also
And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.

RANDOM
Emotions up down everywhere.
Finally settling back down.
It's good to enjoy N& D all over again.
It's good to not be easily annoyed by anything and everything.
It's good to be settling back in.
Fitting back into the whole routine of Newcastle life again.
It's just about changing perspectives.
i want to be more like you.
i want to sit and think about NOTHING.
i want to just learn to care without worrying about returns or about opportunity cost ( the only economic term that i remember from econs).
i want to be kinder and more open about my flaws.
i want to be less arrogant and less judgmental.
i want to be truthful.
i want to keep my promises.
it's funny how opposites attract but yet it's the similarities beneath that connect.
alike but yet different.
God, I think it makes sense to think that you have a huge sense of humour.
I think it makes sense to not question things that are NOT important because You are in charge.
I think it all makes sense.
I'm indeed blessed to be here at such a time like this.

Sweeney Todd
Saw this poster against discrimination in the uni and I like the quote.
'Don't judge what I can do based on what you think I can't.
A bit of lyrics from Sweeney Todd - A little priest
TODD:
For what's the sound of the world out there?
LOVETT:
What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?
TODD:
Those crunching noises pervading the air!
LOVETT:
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!
TODD:
It's man devouring man, my dear!
BOTH:
And [LOVETT: Then] who are we to deny it in here?
TODD: (spoken) These are desperate times,
Mrs. Lovett, and desperate measures are called for!
So true.
It's men devouring men.

You know what.
The world doesn't need anymore pessimistic, emo, unmotivated people.
So I give up being one.
The world needs happy shiny people ( quoting grey's anatomy)
So I'll be a happy shiny person.
I refuse to be caught up in the rat rice this year ( get the rat pun)
Jump off little man.
Screw the whole new year's resolution thingie.
I just want to be a happy shiny person.
I give up on being thin.
I give up on being an absolutely impressive fantastic awesome person.
I give up on being the best student in the world.
I give up on trying so hard.
Maybe then I'll learn to live hey.
2008 , 2 months almost done.
Come on, i'm wasting time.
only 21.....years ahead to be living if I'm lucky.
If I'm not...oh well..
I can't be bothered with perfection anymore.
Cos I just can't.
Alice Tham, if you're reading this, please call me back anytime you want.
I'll even get up at 3am for you.=p

SAY NO TO BEING SIBUK
I think that's a good philosophy actually.
mind your own business.
but so difficult to put into practice.
to not 'sibuk'.
I TAK NAK SIBUK.
wonder where to draw the line with the teasing.
maybe it's a bit too much.
guess I was much more kinder with my words a few years back.
more 'politically correct'.
hmm...or maybe just kinder...
now I just can't be bothered to be kind.
I've heard people say if what you say is not useful or kind then DON'T SAY IT.
Better to be a quiet wise man than a noisy fool.
Or maybe it's just kinder that way.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
You know you like someone when
- you think of him an awful lot.
- you smile when he sends you a sms or an email.
- you memorise his phone no
- you can't wait to see him.
- you remember important dates ( ie : anniversary, birthday)
- you put his pic on your desk.
- you think of small, little things you can do for him all the time.
You know you're in love when
- you don't take the easy way out of an argument.
- you care about what his parents think about you
- you care about what your family thinks about him
- you think of ways to be more understanding.
- the thought of not having till death do us part scares you.
And it's not even because you fear being without,
it's because you fear being without HIM.
That's when you know you're in love.

RANTS
This few days have been a whirlwind of emotions- mainly unpleasant ones.
I keep telling myself that I have no reason to be cranky.
And yet I still find myself getting irritated by every single thing.
I just seem like an ungrateful brat.
So many things I want to do this year and yet I'm still moving in low gear.
I should ace this prostate cancer lit review and yet I'm unmotivated to do it.
Surinder said I'm expecting a lot out of you because I think you're very bright.
Well, I think she was disappointed with my lousy lit review on the vegetarian women.
I don't feel bright at all.
I wanted to serve in church but I missed church last Sunday because I was too tired and didn't feel well.
What's wrong with me?
Where's the motivation?
To ace placements to do well to not be bothered by unnecessary stuff to be less self absorbed to be kinder to love him more to excel to make my mom proud to graduate to have an awesome 2008.
this is stupid

I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE HOMESICK THAN NOW
I want to go home.
Chinese New Year in Newcastle is like no chinese new year at all.
No family reunion dinner with steamed fish and chicken.
No annoying CNY music albums released by young little kids and old old singers.
No CNY decorations.
No red packets filled with money.
No pineapple tarts, kuih kapit and ba gua.
Stupid cooking for one or two course that I may not get to do.
Stupid Newcastle.
Stupid everything.
Quoting mercy me , I've never been more homesick than now.
Btw, happy Chinese New Year.

Back to journal reading and nutrition issues.
Well at least I have the flexibility to do work at home in my pyjamas whilst blasting music with the stereos Brendan gave me.
Was just browsing through some journal titles and I wonder if some of them even warrant publication.
"The inverse relationship between physical activity and waist circumference".
Erm...isn't it obvious?
Chinese New Year's coming soon.
It's been a while since I celebrated CNY at home.
Been getting easily annoyed these few days.
I don't know why. =(
I must be patient ! I must be patient !
Been watching this much talked about Cantonese drama series called Heart of Greed.
Maybe that's the reason why I'm getting easily annoyed.
I am getting really frustrated with all the characters in the show.
Are there really people as horrid as this in the world or are they all merely contained in the world of HK movie series?
As I'm typing this out, the stupid uncle is once again causing all kinds of problems again.
Oh and the whole Edison Chen and Gillian Chung sex scandal.
I wonder if it's real.
Did Paris Hilton start a whole new trend with sex videos?
And Malaysia was one of the first to pick up on all this with the health minister scandal.
Btw, we can vote for KL to be one of the 20 cities on the World Edition monopoly board. ( Msia's at no. 51)
Go vote go vote.
