: : i feel very much metaphoric
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006greetings yo.
todays picture:
too tall to be seated.. uncomfortable, odd looking, broken. but it will always be remembered. perhaps its going to be recycled. perhaps its going to be fixed. man, i sure hope its fixed. lol. its a chair in one of the tutorial rooms in utp. i feel very much metaphoric. (haha comparing myself to a chair? cuc-a-koo.)
back in kuala lumpur at the moment. four days from now. many things happened then before i came home. had my vector calculus and intro to materials and science test. it was bad. tell no more i will. flunk it terribly i guess. was really a hectic week back then. had my tests and after that went for planetshakers live in ipoh, thanks to Gabby boy and his friends. (for those of you who dont know, planetshakers is a christian band. they rock the world in God’s name!)
hail gabby!
*applause*
hoo haa hoo haa
its wasnt really planetshakers. just few of the members came, not the whole band- edrea said. yeah, they sang their old songs, danced, shouted, played loud music, jumped, and stuffs. it was great, met some friends there as well, but cant agree with some of the speeches the planetshakers made. (oh well, my own views again). erm after that went to tong sui kai and ate two rounds of dinner. lol bloated after that. oh yeah, a really blur picture of planetshakers in action.
went back utp, tired but still got to pack for the next day’s camp- LOST COP camp july 06. lots of efforts are put in by us the camp committee to make the camp a big big success. this time, i want to hail tomi, our camp commander!
hail tomi!
*applause*
hoo haa hoo haa
something happened in the camp that dissapoint me a little but oh well, im there to seek God’s presence. who cares bout the others, especially people who manipulate church camps as holiday getaways. >.< thats so so wrong. anyway, had a great time in langkasuka. thank God we were given a good bargain for the place. 4 days 3 nights there in a 4 star resort hotel including 3 meals a day of good-yummy-eat-all-you-can hotel food, buffet style. lol. came back with a terrible stomach ache though. no idea why. daddy said i ate too much perhaps. lol. =P
anyway, spent some good times with a few final year seniors, snapped some good pictures and stuffs. revealed some weird facts about a friend of mine. i dont know why but maybe its just odd to be good friends with her. anyways, the sessions were great. its just that sometimes after meals, felt dizzy, sleepy and all. huhu. for the sketch, guess what? i acted as a lost whale, trying to play the bass guitar, lying down and making *ommmmm* sounds. suppose to be whale’s … erm what word to use-ah? humming? anyway, our group didnt really performed well, but i guess its alright.
the games were fun but terrible. i mean, i volunteered out as a member of the game masters and this is what happened. they made us drink freaky concoctions. man, i mean FREAKING FREAKY concoctions. raw egg, chilli sauce, pepper in a 1.5 litres coke bottle. not bad enough? how about vinegar and soya bean juice? still not bad enough? erm theres another drink which ive got no idea what secret recipe they used. then there was this blended bitter gourd, cabbage, carrots and God-knows-whats-inside-the-cup-some-more drink. lol. trust me, it didnt taste good AT ALL! perhaps that is why i came back with a very sad and upset stomach. huhu. still drumming in my stomach those alien things are.
took very few pictures with my camera phone. not so clear i know. tried my best to make it as clear as possible with photoshop. what to do.. poverty strikes jim. no decent camera.
permission to post the picture online granted by melissa. she look great, as always.
>.< theres the scenery that amazed me on the way to langkawi.
and my guardian in the guardian angel game. think shes vietnamese. so so sorry. didnt really get to know her even. sigh. but shes kind. gave me a stick of toblerone! *yummies*.
and theres the place where we held most of our activities. when we worshipped, the whole place kind of experience excitation. haha. it quaked!
oh well, sweet memories. LOST camp was simply great. hope it impacted everyone!
hmm. too long a blog again. hope i can write more in the future. >.<
take care all. journey mercy back to utp those travelling. aiite.
hugs.
signing off,

picture :
cant seem to let go. i wonder why. growing it is in me.
(copied, hope not illegally, from new scientist magazine)
been a really long but fast (only when digesting books) week. *sighs*
had my thermo test on monday, which was seriously cuc-a-koo. just hope that i didnt flunk that paper. cant get the dang internal energy change! lol anyway, vector calculus next on friday. just suddenly felt like blogging, refused revising my vector. know nuts about it i do.
(dr sethu, my lecturer, is great. its just that his strong indian accent isnt.)
weird perpendiculars lines, normal vectors, orthogonals huhu and er .. what, parallelepiped? huh. yeah, i know, those are basics but i dont know why, cant seem to cope. huh.
>.< went to lecture with heavy eyes today. walked pass this particular place, i felt like going in to play. reminded me of old fun playgrounds. hear laughs, mommy mommy, daddy daddy… lol. look-
those yellow bars look like swings. monkey bars and see saws. felt like travelling back time. lifes much simpler when i was a kid. no worries about anything.
(nah. maybe im just too imaginative.) >.<
after lectures, walked parallelepipedly (?) to the library, thought of studying some math. this red ‘new scientist’ magazine caught my attention. yeah, the header was ‘all about love’. felt very curious, grabbed it and went to my usual spot. dont get me wrong. im not desperate or anything. it was about love, yeah, but explained very scientifically; how people love one another, mother’s love, animals love, how human get attracted to each other. all those related to some sort of things going on in our body.
guess what?
seems like scientists discovered that we will know who is our potential life partners via… their smell.
yeah, cuckoo i know. but their statements really made sense to me. so people out there, start sniffing out your partners.
*sniff sniff*.
nah, im not sniffing. cant forget this one particular smell. >.<
said that this oxytoxin thingy (one of the thousands of hormones in our body) takes away ’social fears’. means that people will feel very bonded to each other when its secreted. it will cause some sort of addiction to another person- its like when you are in a relationship, you keep wanting to meet your special one. more explainations actually in the magazine. lol. i dont know, it might sound crappy to you. scarry. i think my body is secreting excessive oxytoxin all day.
oh well, its just something that caught my attention from a scientific magazine.
lol. whatever is it, i think that not a single soul can explain what love is.
God can- that i know.
i cant- that i seriously know. =)
alright then. been really poor lately. there was once when i was only left with this piece of blue paper-
transactions keep happening even til now. more output than input.
jim’s broke. *sighs*
tests and quizzes are coming right up. good luck all. God bless and all the best ya all!
