Jesus to the world - The Beautiful Republic

It's been 2 days that I stay at home. Well I just didn't feel like going out or anything

I've been engrossed in my Pokemon lately! :) And now I'm still wondering why one of my Pokemon has not evolved yet, the book said it will at Lv 26. Unfair! And I think this new version even 'til level 20, some of my Pokemon still has very lousy moves, even in stage 2 of evolution. Probably it's been long since I last played to actually get the hold of the game now. And there are way so many pokemons to catch now, with even weirder names. Lol. Some are cute, some look weird. Still I love the old 152 Pokemons. Haha. So I used to remember moves, evolution stages and whatever items to play. But now with the new version, there are way so many things to remember. No wonder there's this new item, JOURNAL, where actually important events will be recorded. Haha. And there's this cool thing I just played, POFFIN MAKING! Wells it's like making muffin, but this is a Pokemon game so, POFFIN. LOL. I still need to have another pokemon to complete the team. Man, it's hard to find the last one -__-! Ok I should stop. Haha

Something for my guitar. Messing with the pickup height, and man, why didn't I do such long time ago. Drastic improvement! It sounds even better now

I got my results. Very happy with it. So now I can get a new guitar. I'm very much decided on the Reverend :) Extra moolah for some pedals. That Nova Delay sounds killer, it will get on my board to replace the DL4. Yay! New delay! New love found! :) And another fuzz pedal. And many more BYOC to build! WOO HOO!

I'm hoping that one of the guitar shop will hire me. Probably the only place I can work well in. Haha.

People should know by now about the earthquake in Indonesia. Well my building was swaying:

1. Yesterday during dinner: totally spoiler! I was enjoying my delicious steak! Side note, I didn't know my maid can cook the steak that well! Anyway, had to leave the food and went downstairs. The funny thing, when I felt the swaying I thought it was just me feeling dizzy. I thought I was going to faint! HAHA. But until my maid appeared to be freaked out. She really panicked. LOL. So went down and bunch of people also tried to get down. Ended up drinking coffee before going up again

2. This EARLY morning: my eyes were half closed. Then I realise my maid was pancking again. I dragged myself downstairs again. Totally irritating! Sat and stoned downstairs. Then went up again and fell asleep. Was so tired...

And my uncle is friendly. He practically made a few new friends just because of this building-swaying thingy. Haha

That's all for now I guess. I think I will get back to my game. Tsk. No life! Haha! Bye!


Things will work out, for that and other things

Ordinary Superheroes

Yay, Nam is back!

So it's been kinda wonderful for me 1st week of holidays. I'm VERY glad that the week passed by pretty slowly. Probably because Nam successfully fully planned out! :) I finally can sleep past 11 o'clock today (I just woke). One thing I can't stand about myself is, I tend to be able to sleep longer on SCHOOL DAYS but onl HOLIDAYS I will wake up at like 7-8AM! It's so irritating... And this doesn't really matter what time I sleep the other night. But never mind, I'm mastering the art of FORCING myself to sleep. Waha

I found my childhood love again: POKEMON!!. Surya lent me his DS and Pokemon Pearl. And I think I'm addicted again!! It's SO FUN!!! Remind me years back when I will just play the old-school gameboy COLOUR with ugly colours in Yellow Version where you actually can cheat to duplicate items and make your pokemons' level become more than 100. Haha. The old days! And I'm gonna get the Xbox from Isaiah probably soon. CAN PLAY GODFATHER!! Looks like really really cool game. Now I'm happy that I won't be so bored during holidays

It's been great catching up with people as well :)

I've been having some stupid stomach problems somehow. It's like every 2 hours or so I will get hungry and have the feeling as if there is nothing inside my stomach. It will start growling and all the glurp glurp noises. Yuck. May be I have worms! HAHA! There is this new Japanese Pasta restaurant behind Chapter 2 hair salon at Marina Square. THE FOOD WAS GOOD!!! I really like how the pasta tastes. Springy and delicious! The meat went well with the sauce as well. BUT, the downside was the stupid ambience. IT FELT LIKE A MARKET PLACE!! I mean you gotta sit down and see and then you will know. Staffs shouting orders across each others! In Jap! And they will shout very loudly. I mean it's so BRAINLESS and irritating. I overheard some people just complained out that they are being so noisy. And certainly I agree! But wells the food was good, and wallet was damaged... New York New York, I think, isn't that worth money as well. Although the food was pretty good, but small portion and not so uniquely tasteful. Din Tai Fung wasn't that fantastic to my disappointment. There was no proper dessert, which I find as irony, I think chinese desserts taste really good! Imagine the dessert menu was all STEAMED BUNS. The difference was only the stuffing inside. Yuck. Ended up eating my all time favourite Mango pudding from Crystal Jade. THE BEST! So far. Now I'm pretty much constantly look out for food places. Too much damage now adays, I should look out for Budget food places. Ok, I want Laksa :p

I watched the documentary about 9/11 event yesterday, The flight that fought back. And I was 'wow'. Ordinay superheroes. In those last minutes of their lives, instead of being comforted in their own seats and submit to the terrorist's orders. They decided to take up their courage to fight with whatever they had; fire extinguishers, kitchen knife, water pots... There were actual phone recordings about this. The terrorists were forced to hide, cowardly, in the flight cabin. Suicide mission. But still the people on the plane fight. They killed one guy actually. And the 3 left inside the cabin were stupid. Ok, on the door you know there is this small hole where allows you to see through to the other side? But the thing is you can only see from the INSIDE. So, these clever terrorists were trying to 'scare' the people of by lifting up to show the people an AXE (small one) from the INSIDE. And how clever can they be to think that the people can be SCARED by that and even especially can even LOOK through the whole and see. Dumb-heads (blockheads, haha). Still, they died. But I think they died with honour. They stood up and fought back. All the recordings from those people on the plane to their loved ones were totally touching. They told the families how much they loved them and to take care of themselves, and in those last minutes they kept telling themselves: Everything's gonna be fine. I believe everything is now for them in the arms of Jesus, there were actually Christians on the plane praying. One guy called and talk to the person on the other line and asked her to pray the Lord's prayer together. And one thing I heard from one guy, not exactly what he said, but it goes like: I know I need to have faith, but now I need to live my faith. That's pretty overwhelming to me on how they decide to do something instead of submitting to the dumb terrorists. With all respect and in memories of these ordinary superheroes, this includes: housewives, husbands, teachers, secretaries... There was no superman, batman, spiderman... (Ok this is kinda stupid, but before seeing the plane crash down, I thought to myself if there was superman there to lift the plane up. Hmmm)

With faith, I believe there will be a greater breakthrough for the worship ministry. I know that. I can sense that. And again, I have my part to play :)

The least or I would say my mission on this world. Is that I hope I can leave back a legacy and make a difference in someone's life. To be an example. It comes with a level of reponsibility and amount of sacrifice to fulfil, but the thing is it's always worthwhile to hear someone say as simple word as 'Thanks'

That's all for now! I needa eat :)! God bless!

There are times I feel really tired trying to be who YOU want me to be. I know you mean best to me but the reality is do I really need to excel so much? Is money such important issue? Is life all about being successful living a high life and being boastful? All I really need is blessing from God and a simple life of my own. Howevery, since when life is simple anyway. Well, I will just have to try my best. Sometimes I wonder am I really living my life or I'm just pleasing you...
