Phobia

Bumming around with one
more paper to go ain't that
enjoyable as it seems to be.

I currently am longing to
step out to the corporate world
& not having to deal with
theoretical stuff any longer.

However so,
the working lads/lasses
have totally another say
about bumming around.

I guess I would only come

to comprehend the idea
only when I have started working.
Till then, lets just keep my
mind focused on passing.

My apologies for the lack of updates

it's been a while since I had
some time of my own
Will be back in December.

S-l-o-g

It is about time for intense scrutinizing/ auditing of PYQ & Answers
with
DILIGENCE, EARNEST, AND FERVENCY

Lucky Indeed~~~

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music, fell the air
I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

I'd better start drumming those melodies and parts into my head
I'll be sure to thank my God given skills and lucky stars if I succeed

Brotherly Sisterly <3

I know this is way overdue but at the very least, I actually gave it a thought! Although, I currently am still slightly awed by my rather erratic behavior or mood whatever you want to label me as, its the thought that counts!

First of, congratulations for passing CLP Ms. Kan Ming Choi!!

You are now, on the verge of becoming a full- fledged lawyer
Now on to the facts about my sister that you don't already know and vice versa

FACT THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER #1: This sister of mine has never failed to prove "his not so little brother anymore" once, that she has not succeeded in anything that she has her eyes set upon?? Uhh.. an exception would be perhaps in the pursuit of guys? Hah! J/jk. Wouldn't want to ruin your reputation for that future someone, would I now?

FACT THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER #2: Her mood is as erratic as a roller coaster.

FACT THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER #3: Really altruistic when it comes to food, fashion and apparels. And yes, I used the word altruistic. This explains the sudden stock up on my clothes and her "misplaced" cookies. That also explains why I am in ACCA and you're in CLP, besides the fact that you often use words with verbosity.

FACT THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER #4: Can be really bimbotic at times. However, count your blessings when she is, coz she's really really nice at this point of time. Maybe with a slight tinge of sarcasm along the way when you get her to do a favor.

FACT THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT MY SISTER #5: Has a weird sense of taste in certain things which YOU (sister) know about, that I always tease you on.

FACTS ABOUT ME THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT: To come to wonder, is there anything that you do not know about? Of course there is, silly! I still am your brother and can't be telling you about flings and mushy incidents, can I now? Hah!

That's all from me! Its a one time only post. Can't do this often, else my sister will take me for granted and I do mean what I say about my chocolate cookies from Marks & Spencer yeah Kan Ming Choi! Thanks in advance :) Cheers and all the best in your future undertakings. God Bless.

Videos in YouTube that you might just miss

You really don't want to miss this post for anything
(applicable to all guys and maybe a minority of gals)
You might just want to get a face towel just in case you start to drool
I am not even sure whether I am into the song or them
(Sonia especially)



A great version of You are my strength by Hillsongs



So? How was it? The girl or the song? =p
What more can a guy ask for? The looks, voice and guitar skills
Absolutely flawless!

P/s: Thanks Xinn!
From: Ct and I :)

However well said it is, yet I do not feel the same way.

Give A Hand? *Updated*

To my dear readers,
If you would be so kind enough to just hear me out for a second
I am currently in need of ideas and suggestions
for acoustic songs which involves in
the most about 2 people.

Just drop me a comment at the bottom of the post as the chat box
is utterly inconvenient for lengthy messages
Referrals and Links from YouTube is accepted as well
Your assistance is greatly appreciated :))

The most I can do to show my gratitude
is to play a song of your request within my capacity to do so ;)
So get your Youtube-ing skills going or start by
rummaging through your list of songs in Itunes
Kindly do so before the 15th of October.

Cheers!

P/S: Xinn, if you are reading this, its mandatory for you to give me suggestions in which you think Ct and I can pull it off with our voices ;)

Kampar, Ipoh, Sitiawan and Lumut (Part 3)

The final and concluding post to Kampar, Ipoh, Sitiawan and Lumut. I doubt I'll be able to set foot in this place for who knows for how long till someone organizes another trip or by enrolling myself once more for their tailor made course. Till then!

OB Grounds

OB Hall

OB dorms

Kayak house

OB Beach

Cj- "So you're saying I smell like toe?"
ROFL

Shu Fei with her photoshop skills. If you'd notice the colour of the grass, then you'll realize something is misplaced according to Shu Fei, however I can barely tell the difference. Ahh well, the picture is quite cool anyways.

Was getting myself a branch for michievous purposes ;)

Its supposed to be some love story Alvin had while in OB?

Awesome

Comic Strip of Shu Fei's stupidity ;)

**************************************

*************************************

Bye Bye OB with Shu Fei being the "hercules" closing the gate before heading back

Back to Kampar to drop Alvin off.

What are the odds you could find 2 guys and a girl hugging a pillow emo-ing by the steps of some shop?

The result of having to part soon

That sums up the post for the day trip, it has been an enjoyable and spontaneous one for a rather spontaneous trip. Shall meet up again once we are all free and back from wherever we may be. Till then peeps! God Bless.

Kampar, Ipoh, Sitiawan and Lumut (Part 2)

Continued from the previous post, the following pictures were taken when we reached OBS Lumut:

Met up with the Instructors before taking a stroll in the vicinity of OBS.

The Main Hall of OBS "To serve, To Strive and Not To yield".

Its exactly what they are trying to describe.

I guess Alvin had enough of camwhoring.Hmmm.

Nah, I think not.

This is one of the things i miss doing in OB.

Belayer : Lock and Check?

Climber: Locked and Checked.

Belayer: Squeeze Check?

Climber: Squeeze Check,Am I on Belay?

Belayer: Take in Line.

Climber: That's me.

Belayer: Yes, you are.

Climber: Instructor Check, Climbing?

Belayer: Climb on.

Here we are climbing without a belayer.

We were always required to shout, "I love OBSSSSSSS" when we reached the top.

Wai Kwan you are quite the girl. Lol.

Rofl. This is how far she climbed. Busted flat.

Next, Shu Fei climbed.

And me next.
Apparently she said, she wasn't posing.

Speechless.

Adjusting for the best settings, lighting and effects etc.


No, WE bite you! Heh!

***********************************************

Below are pre-pose pictures, more like random stuffs and a few are like test-runs.

Wai Kwan looks pretty suicidal here, as though she's ready to jump off some big cliff.

Test Run #1

Test Run #2

All were looking at how Kuok Sing got bitten by sand flies.

I guess Shu Fei was pretty much immersed into herself that she did not come to realize that we were all having a big laugh at her poses.

**************************************

The ultimate poses starts now ;)

Alvin's starjump.

"Run away, foogoo fish!"

Everybody wants Kung Fu-Fighting.....HUH!

SF- "Daniel Kan's pose strikes again" *sweats*

SF- "Daniel Kan's pose strikes AGAIN" *massive sweat*

After countless of shots for Wai Kwan, and yet her butt still faces the camera. Rofl.

Kuok Sing's Air Jump?

Evie's "Yipee!!!" jump.

The coolest jump ever!

Most hilarious jumps by everyone.
Take note of Shu Fei, she seems like she's bracing for impact says, Kuok Sing.
As for you Kuok Sing, I see a wuss pose. Lol.

You'll be surprised of the amounts of pictures taken! Stay tuned for yet another post filled with pictures. Lol. Cheers.

Kampar, Ipoh, Sitiawan and Lumut (Part 1)

This post is about the day after the meet up of YAC 18 OBS'ians, it was only a couple of hours since the meet up in Picaddilies and SS2. Don't mind the sleepy faces and the countless pictures that were taken in such a short span of one day. The pictures will pretty much do the talking and quotes from certain individuals will be put as captions, which were done by our dear Ah ma a.k.a Shu Fei *thumbs up* to you and some, further edited by me.

6.30 a.m at the Sungai Buloh jejantas, waiting for the Damansara gang to arrive which apparently Wai Kwan refused to get up while Shu Fei was on the phone with WK's mum. Funniest thing was, it was WK who was so hyped up and enthusiastic about the road trip.

Shu Fei- "I one chicken, you one chicken and he one chicken".
Shu Fei- "Since you guys will be doing the driving, I take the smaller piece la."

How considerate *smiles*

Walkie-talkies which were provided by CJ to connect the Myvi gang and the Honda gang. Apparently CJ's dad bought it cause he thought they were really cool looking. Haha! What a reason.

Upon arrival at Kampar to pick another ex-obs'ian named Alvin.

Have you tasted the goodness of CB???!?!! ROFL

A group picture in Kampar
SF- "I know you want me, you know I want cha, I know you want meeeeee, you know I want chaa!~~~ (Pitbull) "

Me- "The moment Ah Ma's head touched the pillow she fell asleep already"

SF-" You know what? I like going for roadtrips, cause I like being driven around."

Playing around with CJ's DSLR and Sf with her digital cam.

Upon arrival in Ipoh.

Here we are in "Kong Heng".

Cj the photographer, Alvin the water polo-ist, Wk the one who got busted.

SF- "Daniel likes to pose for the camera. I can prove it to you!"
Isn't it natural guys and girls? It ain't no pose. Heh.

The Siblings, Kuok Sing and Evie.

SF- "All the talk about the road trip, what happened ah?"

Random.

Our photographer.

According to her, she managed to photoshopped her eyebags away. Lol.

That poking pose *shrugs*

Me- Stups!

All laughing at how Wai Kwan held the DSLR ;)

This is how Wai Kwan handles the DLSR. LMAO.

The joy of having a remoted-controlled DSLR.

WK is definitely a pro camwhorer as she gets her perfect picture at the first try.

SF- I don't think I'd want my future employer to see this.

Colours will fade but our memories shall not.

Thinking about her love it seems.

SF- "Seee!! Poser!"

Trying to mimic my so called pose.


*************************************************************

The next stop was in Sitiawan as they have decided to drop by OBS in Lumut. Thus we stopped in Sitiawan for a second round of lunch after Ipoh's Kai Si Hor Fun and it made me wonder, "what is an Ipoh trip with just a bowl of Kai Si Hor Fun?" Haha. Quite the irony of A roadtrip to Ipoh.

At the restaurant in Sitiawan.

The editing says it all, thanks to Shu Fei.

Really fresh la-la's

Anti-clockwise: Stir-fried Mixed vegetable Fuzhou style, Oh- chien, Heko-bah, and Marmite chicken.

The food was fantastic and affordable, I don't think we can get these kinda food at the price they charge, back in KL or Subang for that matter. Now I'd wish I ate more as my mouth is watering at the moment for such food. I guess that's all for today from having to upload pictures and doing my thesis. So stay tuned for the next and final part! Cheers!

************************************************************

A meet up with OBS'ians cum Wai Kwan's farewell

After much toiling at home for the past few weeks, I've managed to earn myself a day or two away from home and my thesis which is equivalent to whole load of stress. Well, the OBS gang managed to meet up in Picaddilies, Section 14 at around 8-ish pm. Here are some pictures to top it off:

Top left: Shu Fei, Evie, and Wai Kwan
Bottom left: Dharma, Me, and Benjamin
Group picture which was rather forceful for the guys, don't you think so?

Dharma seems to be enjoying himself.

Gals will always be gurls FULLSTOP

I don't see the point of this pic.

Later on, we adjourned to SS2 to have our dessert which was KTZ with their servings of:

Mango Loh.

Honey Dew Loh.

Fruity Loh.

Another group pic with CJ.

In my humble opinion, I find the price a little stiff for such desserts. Rm 6 per bowl is as good as eating a sumptuous bowl of beef ball noodles in KL and we were only in PJ for pete's sake for DESSERT.

Well, food in Picaddilies wasn't enough for my bottomless pit so we decided have another go at a nearby hawker food stall called Sun Hin Loong. They serve really good pork noodles. The best part is during that night itself while we were having our late night snack, Shu Fei came up with the idea of having a one day trip to Ipoh and all we all agreed as Wai Kwan will be leaving to UK soon.

Hence the very next morning at 5 a.m., those from Klang departed and we met at Sungai Buloh Jejantas with the Damansara people. That's all for now, please tune in for further happenings and pictures in the upcoming post Kampar, Ipoh, Sitiawan and Lumut. Cheers.

Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

Ever wondered why isn't it gold lining or bronze and why in particular silver? It is said that as the sun shines through the dark clouds that pass overhead and if you would take a closer look, you can often see a silver gleam of sunlight along the edges of the clouds. Hence the term silver lining which signifies a bright side to every difficult situation/time.

I finally was able to appreciate the silver lining of my cloud of mishaps. Guess it ain't so bad after all eh? With heaps of problems come toppling down making my life topsy-turvy at almost every turn with responsibilities and more responsibilities. Doesn't it make me much more of a man? No? Very ironic huh...That things appear the way you least expect or intended it to be. This reminds me again of the fact that God allowed this to happen for a reason and that reason now dawns upon me which I came to question ever since then.

And I know i may seem a little philosophical these days or perhaps too much for you to bear. Heh. I promise I'll get out of it soon. Till then/till something interesting pops up. Gotta get back to Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA). Best of luck to those who are either left with Advanced Taxation or both. Don't take it as a disappointment but as an encouragement. "Lift yourselves up as you hit the ground", its part and parcel of life ain't it? Heh. May God be with us.

Cheers.

Filial Piety

You know how it is, when you're young and your mum gives you this book to read which consists of virtues which are practiced by the ancient Chinese characters in the story, hoping that someday you'll cultivate those virtues and put it to practice? If you're wondering what book it is, its published by some Singaporean publisher called Asiapac if my memory serves. It used to publish numerous books on the manifold virtues through the form of short comics in the Ancient Chinese Era where emperors and those sort still lived. Then, the word filial to me was about just any other new vocab which I have gained through reading such books whereby having an English teacher as a mum, I would say it has its pros and cons as she kept on pestering my siblings and I to brush up on our vocabulary.

Well after all these years, I suppose I finally came to apprehend the meaning of being a filial son. I used to think that being filial is something unachievable without having to feel some sort of discontentment, whereby you are doing your best to make the life of your parents a tad less burdensome, however on the other hand your siblings ain't doing their part of the share. It can come in various forms like being frugal in ones' expenditure, trying your best to help out with chores at home, and etc.

Say you were trying so hard to lessen the electric bills so that eventually your parents will have to fork out less money from their income to the Elec Co. and here your younger brother comes along leaving the lights on and switching on the air-conditioner to his whim and fancy and eventually increases the expense of your parents or perhaps in the scenario of helping your parents with household chores and you can't help being calculative in everything you do for you parents when the youngest or the eldest sibling just goes on with their lives without giving a hand at all?

Doesn't it somehow make all your efforts seem futile? Have you ever felt that way? Well, I have and I earnestly believe it takes certain circumstances to change a person and I am sure God has been playing a part in all these circumstances which I am currently going through at the moment. Life has never been that easy and I am certain of that fact, but only did not come to realize how fast it came to hit me.

Tons of things have been taking place one too many in a month and I have barely any time for myself. However I thank God that I have finally earned myself a fraction of a day to catch up on my things and studies which are way overdue done ever since results were out. With that, I am thankful apart from having to water the plants, ensure clothes are washed, hanged, folded, ensure that the dogs are fed including myself for lunch and dinner and etc.

So to those out there who are lavishly spending their time doing the things they like for eg. surfing the internet, catching up on drama/series, etc. I suggest you do something more worthwhile to help ease your parents burden or even better, ask them if they need any help. I am sure they'll be glad to have kids like you.

God Bless.

p/s: Had no intention of self-flattering. Wrote this post out of realization of what has taken place for the past weeks.

Mixed Feelings

There's this part of me which feels great to have another go at University life and there's this other part of me which just feels so despondent that I can't somehow celebrate with the rest and have to endure another few months of stress which I certainly am not looking forward to.

However I'd always believe that God has something in store for me in his humongous and wondrous plans. Having said that, at least I have a macha with me (quotes Adrian). Hehe. Well I just want to thank all who has been praying for me and that it has indeed made a difference. In God I trust.

Uni Life here i come again!
