Ok...This is going to be a long post. But no worries... As you guys can see...Unlike last year, my blog will be with pictures this time. Hehe. Will update about my 22nd birthday, DMSJ and my class.
DMSJ Quiz
DMSJ stands for Daya, Malacca, Shah Alam and Johor. Every year around March or so, these 4 churches will participate in a Bible Quiz. This year it was on the book of Judges. It was the weekend that clashed with our Election but no worries. Everything turned out good despite the rain. The KL-ians and MMU graduates came back too such as Geng Yi, Juliana, Stephen, CK, Gary and me. Hehe. Saturday was the "social" day. This was the first one I attended. It was fun. Got to know several people. And glad to see many other familiar faces too. But the games were tiring man. I really dreaded the Caterpillar walk. I actually had bruised ankles for 4 days or so... More that that actually but takper la. And at night, we had even much more fun stuff. Each church came up with a performance. But I must give the credit for the rendition of "Hey There Delilah" by James from SAGC. Superb man. Lawak lagi tu. And on Sunday was the real quiz. mangkuk betul. I didn't know the Mangkuk disease was so severe in MGC. Haha... Last 2 years we were infected with the World Cup chant. View the post here. This year, we went for the Mangkuk-ness. But alas... As gaya as always, MGC kalah. But no sweat. Relax jer. Too bad I didn't watch the prize giving part. I was busy doing my Typography in the prayer room. CAN you believe that? Assignments in church. T.T! But all in all it was such a great time spent during DMSJ. Getting to know peopla and stuff. I am not very good at remembering names. Sorry yea. I could only remember Kelly, Sarah, James (cos' I asked for his name...Hey There Delilah was good), Thomas, Adrian, Jun Yee, Darren (Cos' lawan sell T-shirts 2x already) and...okay..seriously...I forgot the photographer's name. AGAIN! Sorry! But anyway... I am glad I went back. It's really a great effort put in by everyone. And again, good job people.

Mangkuk-ness~!

Contestants! Livia, Jessica and Adrian~!

Apa ini Yik How~!

22nd Birthday
Now with DMSJ done, I want to rant about my feelings of turning 22. Honestly... I was quite sad. Aku dah TUA! Hahah... Okla..Takla sangat but suddenly I felt too grown up. Nevermind that. Anyway, birthday celebration started quite early. I was surprised that my classmates planned to bring me to Sunway Italianese to celebrate my birthday on Thursday. Tanyus was to leave for Indonesia that afternoon so they celebrated the birthday a few days earlier. First we went pool. Then after that we went for lunch at The Italianese. Those present were Chris, Tanyus, Selvia, Diana, Wahyu, Fadzil and Kelvin. It was such a lovely day. And we ate till we were so full. And took a lot of silly pictures especially me and Tanyus... mimicking Rafiki's face. Lol. Thanx a bunch you guys! And yea... My first gift came from Rin. Thanks a bunch altough you think I am a Germ. =.=! And so doesn't look like me!

Gift from Rin... I named this dude Toothy~! Hung on my bag now!

This is basically my whole class...

Tanyus trademark face...

My bread cake...

Next was spent with my family. No big deal but good none the less. It was after the Election's result. And a few minutes before the clock struck 12... We went...... SATAY CELUP! Not in Capitol... not in Ong Kim Wee... But malim Jaya... Hahaa... Tak sedap la..But I am glad my dad decided to bring us out. Cos we get to spend time together! And anyway... I can't go far cos I haven't finished my Figures yet! T.T!

The next morning, mom gave me angpao before I balik ke KL to suffer.


Heehee. Ah Joon came and fetch me, my bro and Juliana. Ju and I talked like super lama and super lawak also. Then when I reached home in Kl, I did some assignments for Tuesday and then went off to school. After class I went to Faith Station (Something like CF) and surprise surprise! They bought a small cup desert for me and sang Happie Birthday song. Thanks a bunch!

Faith Station! Thx!

And Thanks Kelvin for remembering. After that supposed to go out dinner with Zaf, Zheng and Sathom. Sathom's birthday was one day before mine. So we were supposed to just go out for dinner la. Mana tau something bad happened which was the electricity la. i don't want to elaborate lah. Anyway... dinner was canceled. But Sathom and I decided to just go for dinner la. We went McD. Ketawa all the way about roaches and stuff. Ngok betul. And I bought him a shirt that says "To LAH or not to LAH!" since he always use the word LAH dunnoe since when. =.=!


And he gave me this lil' musical mechanism thingy that played by the tune "Jesus Loves Me". I would say it's a great gift.


Thanks Orang Utan! And that's basically how the real day ended. Oh..and Andrew texted me and wished me too and asked me to check a YouTube video. Almost forgot but luckily he posted on the chatbox. And DUDE! Damn darn sweet giler. Thanks yea!



On Tuesday after class, Zheng and Zafri planned to have dinner with us but like tak jadi cos' Sathom couldn't make it. But dunnoe how come Danny and I ended up in front of that dude's house. Nevermind. Anyway, we had a brief "dinner" of pizzas and Zafri's proud "Limau Ais" drinks in Sathom's place. We met his new housemate too. Mondey? I dunnoe how to spell. Anyway, we got crowned~! Btw, thx for taking us in dude and also Zheng and Zaf, thx so much for this effort. And Danny, thx for coming!

Crowned!

I think that's basically sum up my 22nd birthday. Thanks to all who took the time to text me and your calls too.

Class
I have a gila class... In fact my class is so gila that we have the whole Lion King casts in it. And my class is so small. Minus those who decided to drop, we are left with only 6 surviving ones.
Tanyus - The famous Rafiki
Selvia - Timon
Wahyu - Simba (Obviously, since he's the onli guy)
Chris - Scar
Diana - Nala ( i dunnoe why)
Me - Pumbaa...
And life had been so hectic. AND I LOST MY PENDRIVE!!! (Do the penguin dance) Sedihnyer aku tak terhingga!!! Kla..Let the pictures do the talking.

Hoho...Dee... Itula... Kan dah cakap I will post?

Design Method 2 class~!

Anyway, I went to watch Ah Long Pte.Ltd with nesia, Tanyus and Selvia. lawak giler. laughed until cannot breath. Betul-betul lawak I tell you. Go and watch. I needed an oxygen mask. Really laughed until cannot brewath. Mark Lee is superb la. fantastic actor. And KK was in it! With Daniel Tan! *Drool*

What I really wanna do...

Where : Bro's room

Hmmm... Mom and dad came to visit out of a sudden yesterday. They just left. Anyway, before I start any ramblings here, I would like to thank Rin for her early birthday gift for me. And btw rin..so doesn't look like me you germy little woman!

And yea...back to what I was going to blog about... Actually before Ifell asleep yesterday, I had something that I wanted to blog about but I was to lazy to switch on my laptop again. -.-! Now I forgot what it was. But anywho (so Yen)... I told my mom I will come back and work with her. And I have the intention (since like so many years ago) to venture into having my own range of fabric and wallpaper design. So me right? HAHAHAAHA! Ahem...anyway... I know I am in Multimedia line and if people were to ask me what is this line all about, I probably will just answer them...website design. Blah! Obviously it's more than just that. As the name already suggested... multimedia...banyak banyak media... So anything pun boleh la. But I think venturing into Interior Design like I've always wanted to is another challenge la though many told me, "Your mom ID wat! Senang aper..." Tak senang ok? ID is not just about placing furniture. It's about planning and getting things accurate and at the same time must serve it's purpose/function together with aesthetic beauty ok? You can't ctrl+z to undo things that went wrong. Yea...That's what I will say about ID. But when I told that to my mom...I mean about what i really want to do..she sadi..."Where got like that one?" And I went dot dot dot...Nolah... I actually went..."Got lah.... I want to do that" and then the food came d. Takper la... I know that's what I really wanna do...besides graphic design.

Why la I talk about things like that??? Hahaha... But I can assure you that what I wanted to blog last nite was even weirder than just this. LOL. Oh..and I am so in love with Steohan sagmeister's accent. *drool* Check my other blog to find out why.

It's how you decide to treat them...

Where : MC - Room

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves learning-disabled children, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedicated staff, he offered a question: 'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does is done with perfection. Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do. Where is the natural order of things in my son?'

The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe, that when a child like Shay, physically and mentally handicapped comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'


Then he told the following story:

Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.

Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'

Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. His Father watched with a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as his father waved to him from the stands. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again. Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.

At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game? Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.

However, as Shay stepped up to the plate, the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact. The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

The game would now be over. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.

Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates. Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first! Run to first!' Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base. He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.

Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!' Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball ... the smallest guy on their team who now had his first chance to be the hero for his team. He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too, intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head. Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.

All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third! Shay, run to third!'


As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!' Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.

Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!

Backstreet Boys coming tomorrow!!! Haih~! Takper Ju..lain kali yer... So near me sammo. Perla... Anyway... My neck cannot turn to my right or up. Benci... Sakit giler... Dunnoe why. Today Web Design class was cancelled. So we MM students decided to take a break and went to play pool instead...which...my team lost again. 2 kali. No luck in winning I guess.

Then went to do research for Design Method 2. Will be doing on the topic "Mistakes". And then came back home and realized that my room is indeed.... in a super d duper big mess. This was my room when I came home.

This is the mess that I've made yesterday.

This is my table that I never really use cos' I am currently borrowing Sel's mini table.

This is how my room looked like after the "assignment war"

Kinda top view...

And then I behtahan... and I have lotsa craft to do for Web Design class so I reorganized... for almost 1 and half hour or more...

Radio and references area..where I keep my stocks...

My bed area...and current workstation. I need my bed to put stuff one... SO must work near it.

The whole bedroom look from the door. Storage changed from shelves to bedside.

Collection of mags and books...

Proud of my mags...hoho! Dunnoe why...

Current books that're with me now. 3 more with Amir...

Collection of coloured papers... I didn't take my wrapping papers collection. Mom sees I die.

Storage area...temporal only... Until Web Design habis...

2 of my storage boxes...Out of 4...

Last but not least.... My kekawan yang menemani hidup. VA (Vincent's Armpit) the bear and Andrew the Snowman.... And the lil doggy at the side which I forgot.... hehe....

I dunnoe why I blog on this... Padahal I banyak kerja nak buat. But I guess a break won't kill. Anyway.... Do visit my other blog if you guys have the time. Ta!

Oh...and Andrew called from Michigan. HOHOHO! And I thought it was Karen though I was pretty sure at first that it was Andrew But my voice bounced back! GILA!

Oh...also... Danny and I almost mati dilanggar oleh perempuan yang tak tau law. Seriously... Geram when I think back. So better forget about it.

Kla... gotta be back to work. Bye!
