..my battle stance..

OH gosh.. love the monsoon wind.. chilling.. and the lazy sun in the morning.. may it stays this way all year long. I lovee it.. the other day I walked home from training at Park Mall.. all the way to my home. It felt soo good. It reminded me of the nite walk I took with mbun at Osaka. So serene it was unbelievable. Now I got addicted. Every time I finish my training, I would walk home. Not that it help reducing my waistline but I kinda enjoyed it.. singing out loud on that empty street and took my time as I walked slowly. Didn't join the folks for cellgroup last nite but heard that they had some great experience, praying for a friend who was struggling against her past. So glad that God keep using our cellgroup in many magnificent ways. I am sure they were all blessed by that and may God teach us to do even more for him and above all.. retain our servanthood. I also believe that yesterday was indeed the time that God has prepared for our friend to deal with her past. It was God...

There will never be another Noriko Sakai.(Yes I am that biased ^^)

There is this wonderful term in econs called "sunk cost". I think that term.. along with the term "ceteris paribus" (all other things being equal), are among the most wonderful life principle that you can get from a basic "principle of economy" textbook. Sunk cost is the price you already paid for in the past, that could never be recovered and could never be justified. It's just lost. We learn to understand the insignificance of sunk cost in deciding on future action. And that is so true.. not only in econs but also in almost every aspect of life. There were times when I stared at my msn windows. There are nicks of some friends who I often chat with nowadays.. and some of them were not even in the list one or two years ago. Then there are few others.. who used to be so close and familiar. Maybe the term 'close' is subjective. But at least we used to spend more time together, had more fun and understood each other better. Now? We are almost mutu...

yeah.. first interview of the year!! hof hof hof.. I have a good feeling for this.. but then again I have always had good feeling for everything lately. I, the proponent of half-empty view, am learning the hard truth that in God's eyes everything is always.. full! Yup2.. I will trust in You.. my God of Jacob. ANd now.. another one from YUI =P I know her voice is far from great.. she is offkey now and then. but I always forgive her ^^

and this.. is my first ever anime! come to think of it.. my dad is the one to blame when it comes to my love for anime. He rented anime and wuxia movies for me ever since I was an infant. The three years old me sang Voltes V's soundtrack during my auntie's bday party. That was my first ever performance and oh goodness.. what a horror. I dunno what I sang that time. anyway.. the anime is 30 yrs old so pardon its low quality. It had a good story nonetheless.

Hoho yeahh I am still very much straight and thinking of dating a girl. Just thought that I would promote this little boy that we, Arsenal fans, love so much. Francesc Fabregas is a 19 years old Spanish who practically control Arsenal's midfield. He is our midfield general. He is the warrior, strategist, playmaker, engineer.. he is the one that Thierry Henry once conceded to be "the most important player" in the team.

Gasp.. my babi is getting engaged next week!! Erm.. okay.. she is no longer my babi but fwah.. Anyway.. do people actually inform those who are once their lover the time they are about to get engaged or married? I remember Cath saying she would love to say thanks to all the ex-s of her future husband if and when they got married. Maybe babi's boyfriend would like to thank me too =P All the best bii... you deserve ur happines ^^

Rain. The world seems to fastforward whenever it rains. People hasten their steps. The ones without umbrella, run. And the gravity driven raindrop.. it's somewhat like the funny sound that come out as you fastforward your video. It's noisier, more hectic. But to me.. it seems as if the world has paused whenever it rains. When it rains heavily.. the sound could be so deafening you feel like entering into nothingness. Nothing seems to matter. Your world has been limited to the space below your umbrella and it doesn't matter if someone out there is sneering or smiling at you. And when I am without umbrella, I might as well walk slow and let the rain embrace me. I like talking to God in the rain.. I love thinking of someone dear to me in the rain.. The real me is awakened when it rains.

Woah...the training has finally started. As expected, we were equipped with all kind of manipulative technique to make sure that we seal the deal. No wonder most salespeople look similar. So sorry that I can't join the cellgroup this week and next week due to the training.. gonna miss them -_- Now that I have thrown $$ away for this.. pray that God bless my steps so that it won't be wasted. Talking of blessing.. pastor Daniel Arief said something really wonderful last Sat. He said, "you can't seek blessing. you have to be the blessing instead." It has a deep meaning and I hope everyone who thinks that God's plan is for us to be super rich and living a super luxurious life for our own sake, start to reconsider their belief. Because that is the desire of your very own flesh. In any case.. I love Paul's take on life and ambition: (Phil 4:11-12) Not that I am implying that I was in any personal want, for I have learned how to be content (satisfied to the point...

my God is such a super wonderful God!!! Yeahh =D

This is Ayaka with her most popular song, I believe. Maybe you've seen her "first message" album advert somewhere. Hm.. her voice is not bad. The song is not bad either. But of course.. YUI is still the best for me ^^ Yui may not have the quality but she has the sincerity that somewhat transpired in her songs and performances.

Wooh... what a game, what a win. I felt a shiver down my spine as Henry scored the winning goal and Ashburton Grove erupted. Sensational. And it looked as if Arsenal have just won the title though the fact is that Man Utd are the runaway leader this season, and deservedly so. They have been magnificent this season. I remember how we were totally outplayed by Utd last season, and the season before. We won the FA cup despite being outplayed for 120 minutes. But I think we deserved our win last night. Well.. maybe this game didn't mean that much to Utd as they were already 6 points apart from Chelsea but I suppose Utd being Utd, they did want to win last night. Anywayz.. the game had many interesting moments. Ronaldo vs Clichy moment, Ronaldo's yellow (can't help pitying him.. ), and Lehmann's ridiculous time wasting. van Persie scored a fabulous goal but Henry's goal, though not that spectacular, was the greatest moment of all. The captain had not been playing well an...

“Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.”- Philippians 2:14-16

Had another wonderful cellgroup last night. Here 's some pics courtesy of rancu. Thxx sis. Somehow I feel that something is changing and evolving within this cellgroup, though I can't exactly point out what or where. And I believe that God, You alone, shall keep this family together. That none of us will be lost. I always think that it's amazing.. how most of them who are still schooling, are sacrificing their time to come for the fellowship. We often finish quite late, and they have to take busses n MRT at such late hour. And some are going home alone. Surely it's a sacrifice that God treasures very much. And I too.. treasure that very much. I know what I am good at and what I am not very good at. And being shepherd is not something I am good at. So more than anyone, I realise that it has been His mighty hand and grace all along that keep us going. Oh yeah.. I saw a Merc being hit by a bus rite before my eyes this morning. So I jaywalked (heh yeah I know that's wr...

Went to the prayer meeting without any special expectation whatsoever but.. There my heart was once again consumed.. Your tangible presence that I so dearly longed for.. And I heard You whispering: "Welcome back son.." Tadaima.. Anyway.. had a company annual event last friday. We went to Farmmart at CCK and had some tresure hunting organized by the Farmmart people. Not bad heh. No lucky draw this year.. so no voucher to win. The game itself.. one of the tasks was to fish for.. erm.. prawn. (shouldn't it be prawning prawn instead of fishing prawn?) There was someone who managed to do it in 1 minutes plus, but most of us weren't that lucky. There were two teams who quit after 40 something minutes. Glad that my team at least endured for 30 something minutes and didn't quit, eventhough we didn't win the overall contest. After waiting and changing spot and bait and trying everything we could (including moving the bait to the mouth of a stupid prawn which seemed to ...

hey but I still admire him!

*ah.. lagu lama hehe.. one of the best songs for me..though the lyric sounds like orang yang ga kuat nahan napsu -_- * Kau yang disana, terpisah jarak waktu Aku disini merindukan bayangmu Mungkin kita harus bisa, menahan gejolak Tapi kita manusia yang punya hasrat jiwa Setiap saat setiap waktu Kuingat dirimu Setiap saat setiap waktu Kuingin berjumpa... Kau yang terindah, hadir dalam mimpiku Kini bertemu dalam jalinan kisah Mungkin kita bukan cinta, aku tak peduli Tapi kita manusia yang punya hasrat jiwa Setiap saat setiap waktu Kuingat dirimu Setiap saat setiap waktu Kuingin berjumpa.. kuingin bercinta Walau kupendam gejolak namun asmara tetap ada Tak bisa kutolak karna kau yang terindah Yang mungkin memuaskan segalanya Setiap saat setiap waktu Kuingin dirimu...

Faithful friends are hard to find. Those who would stay by your side, and would encourage you and give you advices. They are precious. But do you know which type of friend is the hardest to find? It's the type that could understand your point of view, the type that has the wisdom to understand what you are all about. This is the rarest type but it's really important to have one. And one is more than enough. Because many of your friends.. they thought they were on your side.. they thought they were doing you favor. But judge you they did. They decide what is right or wrong for you. They change you. They take away your originality. They killed off your belief. They turn you into one of them. It's not their fault of course. Because they really meant well. Job's friends meant well when they came over to console him. They had wanted to encourage him, to give him some good advices. But they ended up confusing him so much so that he lost his initial conviction. And they were s...

a red rosy cheeks a drop of tear to weep reminds me of you alongside a sigh alongside a cry a soft summer rain a smile that hides a pain why should you be ashamed cause in every life a little rain must fall and you are my friend charmingly sentimental brain there's truth behind a cry and there's a cry behind a lie on every words that come out strong just let them go and lets get along on every grunge and every fight i miss you all day and night have you had your time off today to drink a cup of tea and smile away sometimes i wonder will i ever see you withouth all your game plan when all you have is nothing but a pure bliss i will wait that day when you can find your way out of this maze of love and you can laugh to see cries and lies coz you know better than me only the truth will set you free there's a truth behind a cry and there's a cry behind a lie on every thought that come out wrong just learn from it and please stay strong on every grunge and every fight i miss ...

Back from holiday!!! Blogging As Usual ^^ Hmm.. where should we start? Death Note 2? "Woowww..." was one word that would describe perfectly what I felt after watching that movie. I have watched four or five movies in the past 2 weeks but this one gotta stand out. The final move made by L to win the game was CLASSIC. Zhuge Liang would have been proud of it. *nodding in satisfaction* Oh and I lovee Sayu, Raito's lil sister heh. Ah.. Japanese.. ^^ Bangkok? It has been a great and fun trip, and thats bcoz of the companion. The city itself is not that fantastic though girls would love to shop there. Of course they were things for guys too, and 'things' for guys. Anyway, we went to Dome, a restaurant on State Tower building. The view was breathtaking. Awesome. The restaurant is on 64th floor and they got this open space restaurant where you could view the city and sky of Bangkok. One thing I learned from the trip is that ~ being single can be a bliss. HaH =D And as for ...
