JoN & HisDayz =P

Discovered quite some stuff 2day. Both bout myself and things around me. I noticed that i’ve been doing quite some fair bit of complaining bout others. So i hope this would be the lasT and guess what? It’s bout me! I’m complaining bout myserlf this time round…kaka weird huh? Biasa la..if u read my description bout myself, I Am a Weird Guy. kaka

Now let me describe the physicals 1st.

i notice my eyes have been feeling heavy even though i’ve been getting loads of sleep (10-11hrs a day) now coz i’m on study leave. So, i’m now at home, preparing for my finals in exactly 1 week time. The 1st day studying was a pain coz wuz distacted a lot (especially by my own thoughts that went everywhere else but my books) so, i didn’t really manage to get much in my head. Today was better (or rather y’day..it’s pass 12am). i managed to get more in coz i studied in the living room where the pc is not ther and somehow, the topic were more interesting and familiar.

Now the more interesting part. The Spiritual part.

For those of you who aren’t Christians, this is not some ghost story or some magical stuff…kaka
Those of you who know me well enuf, u might noe that i’ve been backslided in my spiritual walk. So what happened was, i havent been doing my quiet time and haven’t been going for SG (Small Group/Cell group) and hence have not been very Christlike. But something made me do my devotion today before i studied. If i’ve not mistaken i wuz coz i wuz preparing the songs for my SG for y’day nite. Then i came across this song. Its titled Your Love by Parachute Band. It talks bout God’s love for us. And at that instance, it hit me and i realize how long have i not read His Word and how diff am i now than last time b4 i began to backslide, using the excuese of being bz and burdened by uni assignments, test and other commitments that i have.

But 2day after goin 4 SG, i found almost all the answers to my problems. The eye problem, i asked this friend of mine (btw, he’s da cool bassist that i’ve been playing with in church…really good bassist) and he told me that my eye prob was most probably coz my body metabolosm slowed down (which is quite true…coz now i only sit @ home instead of running here n ther). So, now i gadda find ways to get my heart pumping for 15mins everyday…(suggestions any1?)

Then, i discovered that it’s important that i do my quiet time daily so that i can keep in touch with God and to continue my walk with Him. I oso realize that things like sleep, uni assignments, test and quizzes are all LEAST important compared to God. I mean, what’s more important that to communicate with God? Remember how much did it cost for us to just talk to Him like this? (man…i really took it 4 granted). Without God, i wouldn’t hav been in the uni that i’m in. Without God, I wouldn’t hav even been who i am now, without God, i won’t even know BB, (and not to mention the ppl that i know frm that wonderful organization). Basicly, without God, I’m nothing!

So, to sum everything up, its been an eye opening day and i’ve certainly learn a lot (apart frm books). And you guys know what? These are things that you don’t learn frm books. =)

Thank you Jesus! You RocK!

Genre: Gospel/Christian Music

*/very nice music with meaningful lyrics

Your love is water unto my soul
Your love, fills me and makes me whole
Your love, it soothes and it heals
Your love, eternity sealed
Your love
Oh Your love, oh my heart
How it longs, it’s longing
For more and more of Your love
I belong Lord to You
I’m longing for more and more of Your love
Your love is faithful and true to me
Your love is better than life to me
Your love, it bought liberty for all
For eternity, Your love

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father’s come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

another one of my favs…love the acoustic guitar, love the tune =)

one of my fav songs…

Verse1:

There you go
You’re always so right
It’s all a big show
It’s all about you

You think you know
What everyone needs
You always take time
To criticize me

It seems like everyday
I make mistakes
I just can’t get it right
It’s like I’m the one
You love to hate
But not today

Chorus:

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don’t wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You’ll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

Verse2:

There you go
You never ask why
It’s all a big lie
Whatever you do

You think you’re special
But I know and I know and I know
and we know
That you’re not

You’re always there to point out my mistakes
And shove them in my face
It’s like I’m the one
You love to hate
But not today

Chorus:

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don’t wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You’ll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down
(shut up, shut up, shut up)
Is gonna bring me down
(shut up, shut up, shut up)
You’ll never bring me down

Bridge:

Don’t tell me who I should be (Don’t tell me who I should be)
And don’t try to tell me what’s right for me
Don’t tell me what I should do
I don’t wanna waste my time
I’ll watch you fade away

Chorus:

So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don’t wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You’ll never stop me
Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down

Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don’t wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out
Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You’ll never stop me
Nothing you say
Is gonna bring me down

Bring me down
(shut up, shut up, shut up)
You won’t bring me down 
Bring me down
(shut up, shut up, shut up)
You won’t bring me down

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Sometimes i wonder why izzit that ppl dont want to be or stay in BB. Sometimes its just sad and frustrating to see ppl leave BB. And when ever i see that, i start thinking…"Why do they leave? Arent they thankful for what BB has trained them to be? Don’t they wana do something in return as a way to say "thank you"? If it wasan’t for BB, will they (whoever it is) be who they are now?

I just don’t get it…Most of them who served, choose 2 leave when ever they feel being overburdened or ’squezzed out’; when they fail in something, or loose interest. But isnt that the easy way out of things? A far is i know, taking the easy way out is always one of the worst ways you can get out of things. It means quitting, and telling yourself "i cant do it". Some has already said that even before doing it (now, those are real loosers!). Others, when are taxed a lil bit more than they can take, tend to quickly push those things away and call it quits. The more responsible one will find their replacements before leaving. But don’t they think you they are being too self-centered? If they think they are being overtaxed, then what bout others? Aren’t they doing the same amount of work? Some are being taxed even more than they are but yet, they stayed and try their best to help out. I just don’t get them…totaly dissapointed. Especially those who r suppose to be my examples and those whom i trained and got promoted. Perhaps, i have failed.

But i won’t give up…coz that’s what differs me from them.

I’ve been very very busy lately…With what? Well, mostly test, assignments and BB stuff. I’ve been having test and quizzes almost every wednesday now (how ‘fun’ can that be) and therefore hav been skipping SG (small group). I noe its not good but i had 2 prepare la…coz i know my maths is not that good. But i have been looking foward to Wednesdays not coz of the test and quizzes (duh) but for the meeting i’m gonna chair in the evening…don’t get me wrong here i’m not power crazy but it’s that ’special person’ that i get to see during and after meeting…keke (her sis should b thanking me for getting her out every wednesday so that she(her sis) get 2 use da pc n go online…u noe who you are..)

What? who izzit u ask? haha…dats for me to know and for you to find out…=P Besides that, assignments are a pain. I’m still doing assignments while others have already finnished their last. Not coz i’m lazy or what but i happen to have more an they just keep coming one after another. Now, i’m begining to worry if i’ll have enough time to study for my finall exams (thats bout 2weeks frm now!). The other sad part bout it is that i’ll have to make sure my grades are good (not only pass) so that i can keep my loans coming. Haih…now i know how my friend felt being leashed by a scholarship. Nway, the comming week is gonna be another busy week but i guess i’ll enjoy it coz i’ll b busy with BB stuff! Starting with 2molo, there’ll be band camp till tuesday, then it’s this State level BB event goin on friday till saturday. Its a fellowship camp where all NCOs (Non-Commisioned Officers) frm all over KL come and have fun and fellowship together. That’s what the committee that i’ve been chairing hav been planning for every wednesday. Nway, gadda start planning my studies as well…study timetable for all subjects…if not die man…

ok, so thats mostly it bout me nowadays…so i guess untill i’m done with all this and my final exam, you won’t hear news frm me..=)

(even if i’d blog i’ll blog somewhere else…private blog on someone’s msn…kaka)

Most of you might be thinking, "What the hack is this guy trying to say ah?" after  reading the title of the post…kaka. We’ll i woke up this morning, an (as usual) didn’t feel like going 4 class (Monday ma…) But as i journey to UTAR in the lrt n while walking the short distance there, i notice how i can be influenced emotionally through music! It’s like when i listen to Sunday Morning by Maroon 5, i feel the slumber that’s brought by the music (which made me feel even more not like going 4 class) but when i heard 5 Colours in Her Hair by McFly, i felt refreshed and the sense of mischief runs in my mind (just like he typical naughty varsity guy like me, doing all sorts of mischief =P). Like how well, those of you who know me well enough, u know what i mean but for those of you who don’t, i can pull pranks like volunteering to buy movie tickets and when every1 gets there and ask me 4 the tickets I’ll go "HUH? aren’t u suppose 2 get the tickets?" with the ’supprised’ look when i have all the tickets with me n fool every1…kaka. Of course, I’ll give them the tickets in the end n gets whacked up la…kaka. So, bottom line, the music i listen to, determines my mood for the day or that period of time (at least for the 3-5mins while the song is still playing  =P).

On the other hand, I’d say I’m a reflection of music is coz if i feel happy, I’d play or listen to songs like (again) 5 Colours in Her Hair by McFly, (kinda like that song nowadays) and when I’m pissed off, frustrated or stressed, I’d blast my PC speakers with tunes like Shut Up-Simple Plan, Numb-Linkin Park, Somewhere I Belong-Linkin Park and some other "noisy" and heavy Jap Rock tunes (thanks to Samantha for the influence…=.=’)

So, now I’m quite sure some of you might b confused by now and ask "So, are u influenced by music or is music influencing you?"

My answer to that is, it’s really quite a Lil bit of both…it depends. If you haven’t found out yet, I’m quite a complex and weird guy (not to mention mischievous @ times…) =P

Ok, that’s enough…so, next time u guys wana influence me, try music…of course, the right kind of music…otherwise, u might end up in a way you dont want to…kaka jz kidding..

Choiz =P

Have you guys ever entertained a kid (or kids) by playing with them? Well, i don’t know bout you guys but i certainly suck at it (don’t even mention enjoying it). I wuz kinda ‘asked’ to play donkey with my niece just now and what happend wuz she came in da room, n said "Kau fu (uncle in cantonese), come and play donkey with me. Popo (grandma in cantonese) said if u dont play with me, i’ll be goin back. =.="

So, i had to go…The thing is, as most of you (Boys in 1st KL BB especailly) would know that i can relate well with teens… but not kids! (even as i’m editing this post, i’m talkin to one of my Boys who hav a problem with goin to band camp dats comin). Coming back, actually i dont really ‘play’ with lil kids aged 13 and below coz i seriously cant relate to them. So, i went through 2 rounds of donkey and i quit. Givin’ da excuse dat i hav 2 send an email…kaka.

Dat made me wonder why izzit dat i cant relate to kids @ my niece’s age (5yrs old). I always tell my Boys (BB Boys) "I noe coz i wuz ther" or "I noe coz last time i wuz like dat oso…" But why can’t i think like that when it comes to kids aged 5 ah? Just dont understand. I have friends who can play with kids very well. They even have fun themselves by doin dat. But as for me, sorry la…

But that dosent mean i dont like kids, just dat i cant relate to them…

This morning, my dogs woke me up by barking continuously at something. So i got up, n look at the clock…Its only 8am! (gimmie a break man! 2day’s da only day i can get a break frm all my work n classes; and my chance 2 catch up with some sleep). Feelin kinda frustrated, i got up 2 find out what in da world got my dogs 2 bark like that. Then i saw this little puppy outside the house. Dirty, wet n lookin pitiful. My dogs were barking at it…(maybe they were trying to tell ppl in house dat it was ther). So, my sis asked me bring it down to my neighbour (where stray dogs usually come from)…The best part but it was, i took the lil fella down, place it in front of another adult dog n they both kinda sniffed each other, the adult dog went away, da lil fella followed me back! (it was following where ever i go actually). Then i went back n told mom bout it,  she told me da samething, "bring it down la…don’t bother bout it". So again, i went down carrying it in front of me with both hands (not that it’s heavy but it wuz kinda dirty…dont wana dirty myself oso la), this time, it got distracted once i put it down, n ran somewhere else…Den apa lagi? i cabut la! =P

I don’t know if da elder dog wuz da lil puppy’s mom but knowing da puppies near my house came from the same place, i guess i left it @ da right place. You may think i’m inhumane for placing it back instead of keeping it n take good care of it. Hey, i’m not like that ok? it’s just that i’ve already hav 4 dogs in da house 2 feed n i cant afford to hav da 5th. Nway, i wouldn’t even hav da time to take care of it coz i wont b @ home most of the time.

Oh…i forgot to describe you how da lil puppy looked like. It’s a local breed, light brown in colour, innocent n quite cute (all puppies are)…Too bad, i didn’t hav a camera with me, if not can snap a photo for you guys to see. Nway, i know that this lil fella would grow up to be ugly coz all local breeds go through dat…Trust me, i have the experience…=P

Now my question to you guys, what would u hav done? or what do u think? feel free to post some comments…its free! just lick on the comments link below or just here. =P

i mean, no fun writing all da stuff myself…i wana hear something from u too…

Thats all, gtg 4 breakfast…hav 2 study 2day la..

Chioz =P

  Kinda tired today, did’t really feel like waking up this morning coz i only got home bout 12am y’day n slept bout 1+ (chatting…kaka). Wuz especially tired  today. Dunno y mayb coz i had a long day y’day. Nway, i had my presentation this morning n suprisingly, it went well even though i only prepared it last minute! (30 mins b4 the presentation…kaka). Actually, wuz suppose to prepare the day before but wuz too tired. So do last minute work lor…(pls dun follow these bad examples frm me =P ).

We even took photos for da fun of it. Since we’re already smartly dressed, so take da opportunity la! kaka Here’s some of it…

After dat, we kinda celebrated 2 of our classmates’ birthdays which is to day outside da classes near DSA (Department of Student Affairs)…We got too excited (to play tricks on da birthday guy n girl) till da lecturer frm one of da classes came out to keep us to keep it down…kaka (malu giler).

Then, we attended lecture which brought me a good news…I scored da 2nd highest in the last test in da unit! (still finding out who’s da guy who beat me tho…i only lost by 1 mark! deng…)
