A Very Weird Day??

Woke up, with mum telling me her friend who she have not met for 20 years finally can meet up with her..

Then mum went out while I drove to the city to reclaim my C905 which have been hospitalized for close 10 days.. Parked at Fortuna Hotel, which is near church then walked to Lowyat.. When I reached the shop.. The cacat people working there was blur enough to asked me when did I send this phone for repair.. Apparently lack of communication among the workers.. I was then asked to wait for 20 minutes while they go claim the phone back for me.. Went to Starbucks to have a cup of Caramel Macchiato.. Received a call from the shop saying they need my warranty card to claim the phone, so fine I walked all the way back up, gave it to them and was told to wait for 30 minutes.. Walked to Borders in Time Square a.k.a. LaLa Land 2 to burn time.. Those #$%^&*&^%$%^&*&^%$%^&*^%^&^% idiots told me that now then they start fixing the phone because they need the warranty card to start fixing it.. After 10 bloody days then they tell me.. ==

Then walked back to Fortuna Hotel.. To prove how noob I am at driving.. While reversing I scratched a car beside me.. At the end, the person in charge of the parking space help me reverse out.. Condolences to the guy who parked besides me.. xD

Tough Week

The week have not been to kind to me.. Patience tested to the very limits.. Mosquitoes having the time of their lives making their bloody mark all over my legs.. EVERYDAY!!!

It's just a sad sad week.. Although they were some nice people who did bring a smile to my face.. xD

However, I realised that people around me are frowning more than smiling.. T^T

Trying to control my anger and be patient with everything is thrown at me.. God gave me a hell lot more for what I bargained for.. 3 incidents made me so pissed I really nearly lost myself.. (Something like the Black Rage of the Blood Angels[note picture below].. but not as bad.. xD) However, I thank God for it.. No changes are easy.. And everything comes at a price.. As pure fire will bring out the true gem from an ore..




A big thanks to those who have helped me get tru the week.. You know who you are.. xD

Adore '09 - A Generation of Hope

Hope, as defined in Reader’s Digest Great Dictionary, is a feeling of expectation and desire (noun) or want something to happen or be the case (verb).

So what is hope to you? What is your hope? What is my hope? Well, to be honest, I would hope for 10million Ringgit dropping from heaven with God saying, ‘Nic, here.’ Some of you may be laughing and saying DREAM ON DUDE!! Well, a guy can hope can he?? xD

In dire situations, people lose hope easily. At this point, these people would first succumb to depression. As their depression worsens, they will either be turned utterly insane or will just commit suicide as he/her cannot take it.

This year has not been a very good year to everyone. Starting even from last year, the front pages have been flooded with headlines about the economy crisis. As giant companies like AIG closing down and the world is thrown into panic. Recession. Jobs will be lost due to retrenchment and layoffs. People will find it hard to make ends meet. Those dreaded Ah Longs are having a field day as people start loaning money from them. And when they can’t pay off those monstrous debts, with the Ah Longs oh their tails, suicide is the most favorable choice for the victims.

Ah Longs a.k.a. Loan Sharks

War torn nations in Africa where leaders rule with an iron fist and power can only be bought by guns and blood. Africa itself is already a poor continent and these wars are creating a bloody tally which increases day by day. Those people live in fear everyday. Not even worrying about food, they have to worry about whether they will even see sunlight tomorrow. What’s worse, even children as young as 10 are conscripted to join the war!

Kids with guns.. Literally!

In India, where poverty is still rampant, people in the slums would rather die from a cut wound by a rusted nail rather than to receive money to treat the wound in a clinic. The man would rather receive the embraces of the oblivion which is death than to continue on living. Working back breaking like labor for long hours under the scorching sun with a pay barely able to even fill half his stomach, the man has lost all hope. (This is a true story told by my dad who visited India on a business trip)

Poor Indian from the slums

Enough said, this world seems to full of hopelessness. Death and massacre is seen daily in the news. Rape cases, riots, school shootings, war…

In all these gloom and chaos, is there any more hope? Many would say no. But I tell you, those who knows not our God will never understand what hope is. Jesus is ever-caring for us. Those who are lost, He will seek them and protect them. Those who fall, He will pick them up. Those who turned their backs on Him, He will wait for their return, and when they do, He will open up His arms and happily embrace them. Our Lord is like no other. What is more amazing about Him, He loves us, and nothing is impossible with Him around. People who are dead He revived, people who are in deep financial problems, He provide them with their daily needs, people who are sick and with death knocking at their doors, He healed them miraculously where medicine and science failed.

Adore ’09 will be talking about hope. We wish to see you there. Loads of fun and a concert that will definitely bring the house down! And what’s more important, you get to know about Hope itself.


Adore '09

Looking back is regret, looking forward is worry, looking down means defeat, when you look up, there is hope. – Dr. Ong, a good friend’s dad and my former short-term badminton coach

For hope, call 1300-13-GOD –Anon.

Book Review: Fulgrim (Horus Heresy Series)

This book talks about the fall of Fulgrim and his legion, Emperor's Children.. The book paints Fulgrim, the primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion as a perfectionist.. Everything abou Fulgrim is perfect.. His looks, his music-like voice, even when he fights, Fulgrim will bring awe on all those who laid eyes on him.. However, it is because of this pride of his perfection that brings him to the side of Chaos..

This story also shows the brotherhood Fulgrim shares with the primarch of the Iron Hands, Ferrus Manus.. Graham McNeil has done a good job as you can literally feel the love between these 2 brothers as they meet up.. As Fulgrim betrays the Emperor, you can also feel the hurt and the rage boiling within Ferrus Manus..

What I love about this book is finally I can get some insights on the Horus Heresy, how the battle Isstvan V played out and I got to read about a few primarchs in battle!

What I hate is, I really hate the Emperor's Children now.. They are annoying from the start.. Perfection this, perfection that.. They are more nobles than warriors.. Extremely sadistic after being corrupted.. Too much emotions involved (they are corrupted by Slaneesh, so.. not much complaints about that)..

Rating 6/10 (my 1st book review in half a year.. so forgive me if it's a bit lousy.. xD)

Mosquitoes.. UGH!

Damm mosquitoes.. Quoted from Chong, Mufasa from Lion King mentioned about the circle of life.. Well, screw the circle of life.. IT's TIME FOR MOSQUITO GENOCIDE!!!

Mosquitoes are little blood-sucking insects that brings not much good to the world.. When it leeches off someone, the person will have an irritating sensation and after countless leeching sessions by the damned insect, you will have a lot of itchy spots which are extremely annoying.. The bane of sleep at times as these insects will have a field trip on you when you sleep..

And they also spread disease like dengue fever which this year has caused several people in Selangor to end up in the hospital..

Recently, my room has been infested with these annoying abominations.. So small and their color giving them the perfect 'cloaking ability in the dark and shadows.. According to Justin Chen, they utilized guerilla strikes, hit and run tactics..

Arm now with the Racket of Shocking Death™, I will now lead a genocide of mosquitoes in my house.. DEATH TO THE VERMINS!!

WOO!!

Finally chose to revive the blog.. xD Reason? Out of randomness.. If that is even considered a reason.. ahahaha!

Few updates on me.. Nic is no more a Man Utd fan.. Due to church as most of the people there are Liverpool fans (our pastors were having fun laughing at the 4-1 defeat in Old Trafford for 3 weeks!) so just to avoid 'conflicts' I decided to go neutral.. xD

Today wasn't the best of days.. Was kinda moody the entire day.. Except when I met up with an old friend of mine.. Foo Yine a.k.a. Hime who i met in Maple Story PQ 4 years back.. We never met until this year! Through the 4 years we chatted, swapped Japanese songs (mostly she give me.. xD), talk crap and even borrowed a listening ear to hear out each others' problems.. Had a reason to smile when i met her.. Then drove to Connaught to meet up with Sky and Anna K for yamcha.. Back home, had a terrible nap which drain me more than it revitalise me.. T.T

Oh ya.. Nic has his P license! I CAN DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

till then, May the Lord bless any reader who comes in here to read this long forsaken blog.. =D
