passerby @ 8:46 AM
If you guys notice, Brother/Sister
passerby left me two messages on my tagboard. Thanks for tagging! =) Here's what he/she said...
passerby:
christianity is not a religion.it's a relationship with God.the one who loves u the most, whether u love Him or not. y nt try goin back to Him before discounting Him?after all, He put her in ur life...I'm glad that you view Christianity not as a religion but as a relationship with God. That's hot. To an outsider, it is still one of the many forms of religion in the modern world today (according to my soci lecturer as well). I know who loves me most, and I have a clear idea of who I love as well. That's mummy, daddy and ryn. Anyhoo, how can I go back to Him if I wasn't His in the first place? No discounts dude/dudette, I respect every religious figure (i.e. the Super Best Friends). Hmmmmms, the way you say it, He has a hand in every thing in our lives. Well, He did put her in my life and I thank Him for that. I wonder who stole all of WC's dirty boxers and underwear, and Marcus's, Daniel's, the D4 guys' as well. Dear passerby, I'll try to get you the contact number of the gal who i think is disillusioned k. Maybe you two can have a chat about it. Or perhaps visit the optician together for a new pair of specs.AMEN.

dun use me @ 3:24 PM
Is it common for a girl to use her own boyfren, as an example, to make her gal pals not feel too lousy bout their own bfs?I don't appreciate that, really.
Sob Story @ 1:52 PM
Someone said to me last night: Everybody surely has a sob story to tell. I have lotsa sob stories. I'm sure you have at least a sob story too.
It got me thinking for a while. And then suddenly it dawned upon me.
I found it rather incredible. Am I in self-denial? Or was I born with a silver spoon in my mouth and was sheltered throughout my entire life?
Neither. If anyone looks at my life right now, I doubt they'll think that I'm in self-denial. And people who knows me know that I don't come from a rich family or watsoever. But still I have to thank whoever is watching over me. Thank you.
Then she said: I dunno why he's rejecting GOD. He blames GOD for everything. I'm very sad 'cos he takes it out on me most of the time and he blames GOD as well. I cannot accept that (he blames GOD for it). I hope one day he'll change, and he'll accept GOD in his life again. Then when he is about to sin, the holy spirit will talk to him.
No offense to Christians or people of other religions. I accept GOD in my life. Just like how I accept Buddha, Vishnu, Krishna, Allah, etc. They are the Super Best Friends (you'll understand if u watch Southpark). But I think believing is one thing, over reliance is another. People don't really need a book to tell them what's right and what's wrong. Nor do they need a holy spirit to talk to them when they are about to sin. I think I've blogged about this issue before and I've gotta reiterate. Religions are best used as references for the development of one's moral values. Its YOU who decides what YOU are and what YOU wanna be. How can she think that he'll change if she manages to get him back to the side of the Lord? How can she continue to love him so blindly? If her GOD can really help her, maybe HE should give her eyes.
The poor gal is so disillusioned can't you see? Or maybe its me who is the disillusioned one..

Money not enuf @ 3:17 PM
Pussyjus told me that winning money from gambling may not be a good thing. Here's a brief recap of what happened..
Last Saturday nite, the pigs and the dogs (read: zhu peng gou you) gathered at the Butcher's house in Serangoon for a CNY blackjack session in the wee hours of the morning.
In the end, Pussyjus won 80+ bucks in total. Dex n candice combined for a total loss of 50+ bucks. I lost 17 bucks.
On Sunday nite at 2am, Pussyjus was having a fever of 38 degrees celcius. He was gonna leave hall and take a midnite cab home. We calculated his total cost.
Cab = $15
Visit to the doc the next day = $30
Top up petrol to go Serangoon the previous nite = $10
TH production tix on Sunday = $12
Opportunity cost for being sick = $13
Total cost = $80
Hmmm.. so I guess its not really good to win money from your own friends from gambling. Perhaps there is really such a thing call karma. I lost $17 so maybe I'm going to strike 4D or Toto. As for our generous Dex n Candice, I guess they didn't really mind losing so much. Christians like them only hope for one form of reward. That is to go to heaven later on in their lives. Amen.

Show me the meaning of being lonely.. @ 11:38 PM
Read someone's blog, and it got me thinking.
How many of your friends are true friends? A person who seems to know almost everybody around him means he'll never get lonely? Think again.
After living for 22 years, I've experienced countless friendships which are forged because of the situation you are in. So are these considered true friends? Personally, I don't think so. I think they can only be considered true friends when we are able to move through various situations together. Believe it or not, I've stopped making true friends since my secondary school days.
In times when you do not even have one of your true friends with you, you'll tend to feel lonelier than ever. Especially when you're surrounded by people whom you know, but they all have someone else to talk to or to hold. Does it mean that you are weird? Nope I don't think so. Maybe 'cos I've experienced this kinda situations countless times, in army and even in hall.
Well, I'm happy for the people who manage to find true frens and bond together in hall. I don't think I want that to happen, thats why maybe I haven't tried to reach out to others and prob the reason why I don't really belong anywhere around here. It's sad I know, but I'm not ready to let people take up places in my heart which I've already given to my dear true friends.
I'm glad that I have wc and pussyjus with me in hall. They are the ones who I really feel comfortable to go to around here. Other than that, I think I gotta give some recognition to my true friends - Sj, dex and LC. Life will be so much fun-ner if you guys can be here with us (here as in hall, my frens are still alive k).
Maybe it's easier for other people to make new friends and really create strong bonds. Me? I prefer to just sit back in a corner and watch the world go by. Don't get me wrong, I cherish every friendship that I have. I just can't be bothered at times.
I knew IT @ 7:03 PM
I knew it long ago.... *LOL*

You are Benjamin McKenzie! You're handsome,
talented and a bit taken aback by the people
who constantly tell you you're awesome! You're
only really just getting started in life and
you're taking it one day at a time, always with
a smile.

Angels n Devils @ 2:07 PM
Being a Christian, obviously she wants to make it to heaven.. which means following what the holy bible says and repenting for all ur sins and not to jaywalk and not to waste food and not to pick your nose in public, just to name a few.
Being a non-Christian, it sorta means that I'm already going to hell in the first place. And what difference does it make if I commit more sins throughout the rest of my life?
Being a supportive fren, I can only keep giving in to every single request that will help her get to heaven. The day will come when you'll tell me that its wrong for a Christian to be with a non-Christian. I've seen it happen to people around me. And I'll just gladly let you go with the
ONLY reason being that that's what will get you to heaven.
She's the saint, he's the sinner.
Isn't it ironic that Christians are the ones trying to find the true meaning of life? It doesn't take a genius to tell them why they have to find it and it doesn't just occur to them. They spend their entire life trying to get to heaven and fearing that they haven't done enough good to justify themselves before Amargeddon.
Being fair and diplomatic, I'm still gonna wish all Christians and non-Christians alike a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year! Christians, work hard lead a boring life and enjoy your
afterlife. Non-Christians, simply enjoy your life and party on. As they say..
Life is short, play hard!

more to life @ 11:07 AM
Stacie Orrico - (There's Gotta Be) More To Life
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go
There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing
There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
I'm wanting more
I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....
There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
To life..
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more to life....life..
ohh...more to life....theres gotta be more to life...
ohh...more to life....theres gotta be more to life...ohhh

Right or Wrong? @ 7:38 PM
Do people really know how to tell what's right and what's wrong? I think telling right from wrong is not as easy as it seems. Its almost as hard as spelling the word 'Millenium' (maybe its just me who has a prob with that word =P). Well, here are a couple of instances..
I'm sure everyone says that stealing is wrong. But why is Robin Hood a good guy? Just 'cos he steals from the rich to give to the poor?
And how about like if you steal somebody's gf. Although poor gal has a horrid bf and you are able to give her more happiness, isn't stealing somebody's gf wrong? Or isit that the folks who decide what's right n what's wrong interprete the above action as the gal leaving her bf for someone better and so it isn't wrong?
I apologise for having mental block right now and being unable to think of other instances other than stealing (but i'm sure there are many other instances). But the main thing is, who decides what is right and what is wrong?
Since young, people have been teaching us what's right n what's wrong. So where do they derive the idea of right n wrong from? The society they live in. Who decided that Christians cannot be with non-Christians? or Romeo cannot be with Juliet? or that, Abdul Nasir bin Muhammad, who stays above me can have four wives? Who says we can't have dessert first then main course then appetiser? Why do some people let a book, that has a 5 letter word for a name, rule their lives (no its not 8-days)?
Wanna know how I tell right from wrong? My policy is that as long as it does not harm others, it can't be wrong. But apparently the Siti, who gave me a ticket for not displaying enough parking coupons, thinks otherwise.

a NEW Info-Tech society @ 1:42 AM
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me."
- Galatians 2:20
Before anyone of you thinks that I must be crazy to type something like that on my blog, guess again. I was having tutorial just now and the gal sitting in front of me had this wallpaper on her laptop which caught my eye. It's a spoof of the "intel inside" logo, but with the words "jesus inside". And along it is the quote that you see above.
I'm rather impressed by the ingenuity behind this spoof of the intel pentium logo. So I started thinking if in this modern day, where information technology has fitted in nicely with most of the stuff around us, are you able to combine one of the oldest thing in the world (religion) with one of the most modern stuff today?
If I am not wrong, Taoism actually has some websites for some particular shrines, whereby if you are overseas, you are able to download the amulets online and print them out so that you can burn them n mix with water to drink for goodluck or something.
And I think that Buddhists actually have online scriptures and even the monks chanting in mp3 format, for busy devotees to read n chant at the convenience of their home. Whatever happened to the days where Monkey God had to protect his Master in their journey to the west in order to obtain the holy scriptures?
I seriously wonder what other religions are capable of having using the wonders of info tech. Probably the Hindus have a way of making their laptops so heated up that it is as hot as burning charcoal and then they can walk on their laptops barefooted. Oh yah, they invented mouse and keyboards that have sharp edges so that they can pierce through their bodies. Probably the Muslims use GPS (global positioning system) to identify where Mecca is and the direction they should be facing when doing their daily prayers.
What the fuck am I thinking..................

Ghost Story @ 2:06 AM
The following is a ghost story. Don't read when you're alone or late at night if you're a scardy cat!
*********************************
The story took place during the 7th month of the Chinese lunar calendar and
revolved around a young lad named Sam. Sam at that time was working as a
general worker, in a small company located at Tuas. During one particular
working day, the whole of Sam's company was requested to work OT in order to
meet a deadline due tomorrow. By the time everything was done, it was
already past 1 am and Sam was the last person left in the office. He was
left wondering whether there were still any bus services at this hour. He
decided to try his luck and quickly tidied up the office, locked up and
rushed towards the bus stop. The bus stop was situated by a small narrow
road with dense forestation surrounding the area. Sam waited for about 20
minutes and was about to make his way to the main road to catch a cab when a
double deck bus appeared from nowhere. He hesitantly waved it down, boarded
the bus and the only person he saw on the same bus was a frail ghastly
looking old woman.
The old woman was dressed in white samfoo and black pant, attire favoured by
maids in those early days or "Ma Jie" as they were commonly known
then. Sam felt uneasy upon seeing her and was about to go up to the upper deck when a voice ranged out in Cantonese, "Young man, don't go upstairs. Upstairs
dangerous." It was the old woman. Her comment sent a chill through Sam's
bones and he figured that the upper deck might be "dirty". He decided
to heed the old woman's advice and grab a seat at the lower deck even though he
felt uncomfortable by her presence. It was an agonizing 20 minutes journey
before Sam reached his bus stop. He quickly alighted and turned to steal a
quick glance at the old woman, who stared right back at him by the window.
Without further lookback, Sam hastened his pace and was fortunate to reach
home safely.
The next day, Sam was requested to work OT and ended up being the last
person left in the office again. It was already past midnight and Sam was
contemplating whether to take a cab home but decided against it in the end
as money was tight. So he made his way to the bus stop again and after about
20 minutes, the same double deck bus appeared. Sam boarded the bus and saw
the same old woman again. He decided to go to the upper deck again when the
old woman called out to him, "Young man, don't go upstairs. Upstairs
dangerous." Even though, he heard it before, he still felt a certain fear
inside him since it's the 7th month. To be on the safe side, he reluctantly
took a seat at the lower deck again and reached home with no incidents.
The third day, Sam was asked to do OT again. By now he was feeling dreaded
and worried as he didn't want to repeat the same process again. But he
obliged nevertheless since it's his livelihood. He was, you guessed it, the
last person left in the office again. He made the same journey to the bus
stop, occasionally checking his back as he walked. The double deck bus
arrived, he boarded it and saw the same old woman again. As he proceeded to
go upstairs, the old woman warned him again, "Young man, don't go upstairs.
Upstairs dangerous." Sam was fed up with the old woman by now and decided
to go upstairs even though he was feeling a bit scared. He saw no one else when
he reached the upper deck and slowly made his way to the back of the bus and
sat down. Sam's heart began pounding away as he waited anxiously for
something to happen. After 30 minutes, with nothing happening, Sam went
downstairs to confront the old woman and asked her why she kept saying it's
dangerous upstairs.
The old woman turned, stared at him and replied, "Young man, don't go
upstairs. Upstairs dangerous. Upstairs got no bus driver."

Inspire @ 6:46 PM
Ran out of ideas recently which makes me feel so totally sian. And I've only completed 1/3 of the journey.
I really hope that some new inspiration will strike me soon, just like how it enabled me to work through 1/3 of the journey.
In the meantime, I shall try harder to spot new ideas. Gambatte!
