Problems come and problems go
It is God’s will…. that I know
When you are down and don’t know where to go
It’s good to have friends who you could trust so
Persist, believe and achieve
That’s the way that one should live
The world we live in could be heaven
Just ask and pray and thou shall be given

Feeling a bit poetic for the night….
Some thoughts….
turned into a poem…
its quite short and not very good….
but at least its a try…. hehehehe…
It goes….
To have HOPE in our thoughts, that’s better than nothing at all
Cos’ sometimes HOPE is the only thought that might avoid a fall
Hoping and wishing may be never ending
But be sure that someday there’d be a happy ending
Thoughts that make us want to sing
while thinking of the joy that it brings
Never let go of that dream
no matter how far it may seem
So HOPE, WISH and BELIEVE
and know that one day you will ACHIEVE
Amen !
Im very lucky tonight…
i have just been told of my biggest weakness.. and probably the biggest mistake i have done my entire life… something truly worth changing….
Its like ive been running …and now ive finally hit a brick wall…. and finally realizing… all my life… ive been commenting too much, I argue too much, I reason too much, and worse of all … i assume and presume too much…. much more than i need to…. and so much that it makes me tense… thats when all the wrong things are said and all the wrong things are done… and so wrong impressions are made….
the problem was there all along…. WHY dont i ever QUESTION… am i so "Up there" that i have an answer to every other questions?… DEFINITELY NOT…
one of the best advice ive gotten…. and probably a great advice for many more… LISTEN…. and …. QUESTION…. cos only through it will I be able to KNOW… UNDERSTAND… and REALIZE… cos in the end … that is what makes me a better person….
Thanks… for the awakening of me…..
This powerpoint file is a very interesting read…
i got it from my uncle… (THx Unc…)
but it is in Bahasa Indonesia…
so if you could read it…… READ IT….
the message is one that i truly believe…
download it….
it will only take a while…
Click to download…

and dont worry…. no viruses… hahahha…
Last night was another one of those sleepless nights….
fell asleep at about 12…. woke up at 2 for some reason….
couldnt go back to sleep….
And i ended up cleaning up the mess in my room….
started to pack up some old stuff … and select those to get rid of….
in the stack…. found a couple of pages of some comments by my good friends on their own hobbies and ambitions for the future… it was part of the requirement that we had to submit to join a TV game show… we didnt make it tho….
anyway…. reading the comments which was written about 4 years ago… some of them really does reflect the current condition…. among them…..
Peggy’s comments were "To be a successful wife"… i laughed when she wrote that 4 years ago….. but today…. i think Erwin (peggy’s husband) is truly a happy man…
Lillian’s comment was to "get a job and have fun after graduating"… and i think that is what she is experiencing…. a good job that i think she enjoys… and she seems to have fun while at it…..
so life can be predictable at times huh…… hahahaha….
by the time i was done packing…. the sun was up….
cos sunday is family day for me…
so I went out for sunday brunch with my family….
on the way … I was listening to the radio….
there was something that the radio dj was reading that caught my attention…
worth a mention on my post.. hehehe…
she read…
Life is a song, Sing it….
Life is a game, Play it….
Life is a challenge, Face it….
Life is a sacrifice, Offer it….
Life is love, embrace it….
…… more about LIFE….. :)
after brunch…. i went home… and out of the blue i thought of getting a haircut..
and i think its because while i was packing… i picked up the V for vendetta DVD that was just lying around… and on the cover was the lovely Natalie Portman …. and as those of you who have watched the movie know… she was Bald….. not skin bald… just extra short hair… and i thought.. hey … maybe is should go bald as well… never tried that before… and having to attend to my hairdo every morning was quite a hassle… so i did it…. hahahahah….
went to the barber nearby… and after a couple of whizzez from that shaver… i was hair - less….. as in less hair…. hahaha.. not skin bald… hahaha…
a couple of gasps from people at home when i arrived… and the first comment i got was "what’s with the shaolin hairdo…." hahaha….
but well…. there is always a first for everything rite… hahahaha….
i guess what i wrote as my email footer I should follow eh….
"LIFE is short…. so LIVE LIFE to the fullest…"
with the various limitations of life….. i am trying to… hahahhaha
i guess LIFE is what we make of it rite???
On my last blog i mentioned about posting during the daytime…
I dont think 4 am counts… hahaha…. the sun’s not even up yet.. hahaha…
i got up very very very early today… 3.30 am… that means 3 n half hours of sleep…. i actually put my alarm on 4.15 am… cos i gotta leave the house at 4.50 am… to the train station… cos i gotta go out of town for the day…. gotta go to cirebon (somewhere in Indonesia, Java)… its a 3 hours train ride to get there..
i got a message last night on my phone… and guess what a request for a blog post …. huahahhaha….. so here i am… posting at 4 am…. still cant believe it’s still so early and im already typing on my keyboard…. this usually only happens when im trying to go after a deadline for an assignment… hahaha…
opening my blog page….
another comment from another best friend…
Mei yi…. I’ve missed her as well… as with all my friends in singapore…
sometimes i wish i could have more resources to go see them more often…
recources meaning….. time…. money…. strength… hahhaha…
How have you been mei yi? …. everytime I remember mei yi… i remember her smile at the end of each running session back in secondary school…. that was such a long time ago.. hahaha.. 9 years ago actually.. hahaha… and damn she could really run…. when i watched forrest gump movie and there was a scene where a girl shouts "run forrest … run"…. my mind goes "run Mei Yi… run"… hahah… always that excitement…. cos she was that good…. back then she was one of those girls who could beat most of the boys while running… including me…. hahaha…thats why she wins medals for running… good on you gurl….. hehehe… another paragraph on my post reserved for a great friend… (i should post it on your testimonial eh mei yi???)
talking bout sports…. my arm is still aching from golf yesterday…. although it was quite worth it…. for the first time with my very limited skills at golf…. i got a PAR on one of the 18 holes in yesterday’s round… for non golfers… i cant explain the term further… will take a lot of space.. hahaha.. but in short… a PAR is a good thing…. hahaha… so is golf a game that comes with business talks as a package…. or is it the business talk that comes with golf as a package??…. depends how you look at it though… hahaha…. for me…. its the peacefulness of the green that captivates me…. although at times it may be frustrating when im left behind…. but then again… hey…. im a beginner… hahahaha…
Im actually supposed to go to alex’s home for dinner tonight… cos Alex is holding a little gathering for all our group of good friends… its been a while since i met alex and the guys too.. i think last was on the 31st where alex was acting in an opera about Mozart… and me and friends were there as cheer leaders… without the pom poms tho… hahaha… but today gotta go to cirebon… bah.. haha… well.. alex.. if you read this before tonight… i should be there by about 10 pm latest if i could make it… hahaha… could you reserve some of those great SOP BUNTUT please.. hahaha… SOP BUNTUT = OX tail soup……. alex cooks a great sop buntut….. GREAT… hhahaha… but he wouldnt teach me the recipe….
anyways… gotta get ready for that 3 hours train ride.. hahaha….
When i saw Pei Jun’s comments….
I thought, " wow… people actually read my posts…." hahhaa…
and actually requested more… "hmnmnmnnm"…..
Well… Pei Jun is just such a dear friend….. whom ive not met in a while now…
thanks for always being such a supportive friend….
So here goes more posts from me… hahahaha…..
Its almost 2 am…
couldnt sleep… so decided to finish Angels and Demons tonight.. which i did…
another interesting book by Dan Brown…. at least for me….
I guess it’s how his stories can somehow make me wonder how it relates to the real world….
this book in particular…. made me think….
the irony that in reality…. it is those who are being trusted that ends up abusing the trust being given to them….
got me relating it to my own experience…. and dilemma…..
when to trust and when not to trust?… how much trust is too much?….
its scary how some could lie straight faced and abuse the trust given to them…
without really considering how the truth might someday come back to haunt them….. by then….. "regret" may be too late…
so i suppose … may god forgive our sins …. hahaha…
anyway….
this is another late night post…
so i guess i may not be thinking straight anymore….
i should post one in the daytime….when im still sober… hahaha….
Got home at 9:30ish pm….
no dinner yet….
bought a bottle of the new Gold Pepsi on the road tho…
turns out today was a looooong day…
Left home at 7:30ish am…
went to campus for my first exam of this semester…
went to the mall after that to refresh myself…
there i went to the tailor to get some new pairs of pants..
then to my usual destination at the mall… the MUSIC store…
bought a couple of CDs…. finally bought Beyonce’s album…
have it on MP3… but the CD is so much better….
and damn…. that girl could sure sing…
and then i went to Popeye’s to have lunch…
its been a couple of years since i had food there…
and Mashed potatoes with Cajun sauce…. yummmm….
Met Dicky and Wiwi on the way out…
wiwi reminded me of my blog… so maybe thats part of the reason why i decided to write another post….
left the mall and headed to a friend’s house to get some documents…
called alex and donna to have a little chat while on the way….
then my phone rang only to give me bad news from the workplace…
an incident at the quarry….. so i decided to go straight to the quarry…
there goes my initial plans for the night…. hahahahaha…
another weekend gone…
tried calling some people for a chat while on the long ride home from the quarry….
but no one answered… so i guess im the only one stuck with nothing to do on the weekend…. hahahahah
oh well… since chatting on the phone wasnt available….
i guess the blog is a good choice…..
so there’s my 2nd post for this blog…. hahahaa….
now back to Angels & Demons …
the fourth Dan Brown novel ive read so far….
only 4 available till today….
im done with Da vinci code, deception point and digital fortress
funny to think that i was never really a novel reader… hated it before actually..
preferred pictorial books… or magazines…. hahahha….
but seriously… Dan is a very smart writer…
as for his critics ….. in my opinion… why fuss over Fiction…
its just FICTION….. for those who chooses to make it factual…
then let their thoughts go wild…. hehehe….
N e way
Till the next blog post….. 
My first post in this blog…
Its pretty late…
I think sleeping problems are coming again….
solved it for a couple of months…
the trick was (i thought)… to turn off all my lights… put up good music…
then naturally i would go to sleep….
but….. it doesnt work as well anymore for the past week…
looks like i’ve got to think of another way out….
Then again maybe thats the problem…. "think"…. maybe i should stop thinking..
Maybe im doing too much of it…
All the happy stuff.. the sad stuff..
The easy and then comes the complicated…
the hopes and dreams…. then suddenly reality hits….
Life is pretty confusing at times…
Its good to be nice…. but it seems that too nice could be bad….
but being bad is definitely wrong… yet nice can sometimes be the wrong thing to do….
So what to do??
hmnmnmnmn…..
im sticking to my principles….
do onto others what you want others to do onto you…
You get what you give…
i cant really remember who told me those words…
but i think its pretty good… rite??
soo…
Good nite…
im gonna go turn off all my lights next….
play some good music…. Jamie cullum is tonight’s play list…
and hope that im gonna naturally go to sleep…
hahaha….
Ming Tian Hui Gen Hao !!
(tomorrow’s gonna be a better day !!)
…… nga penting kan ….. hahahaha….
till the next unimportant blog….. hhahahaha…
