In A Valley By The Sea

In A Valley By The Sea. Latest album from Hillsong United. Consists of 7 songs but 2 songs are from previous albums(break free and to know your name).

Just got it from this website yesterday : www.christiandl.com
It's a very nice website. You'll get what i mean after you registered it. I got most of Hillsong's and PlanetShakers' from there.

My favourite song in this new album : Second chance.
Secondly , would be 'love enough'.

Most of us blew up our life. Or maybe mess up things , done big mistakes that spoilt relationships. And we can't make up for it no more. We feel regret and hope for a second chance to make up mistakes.

God forgives us. His love's so great , that never possibly exist in the world gives us second chance.( That doesn't mean you continue messing up badly)

Hillsong United done a nice album again.





You called my name
Reached out Your hand
Restored my life
And I was redeemed
The moment You entered my life

Amazing grace
Christ gave that day
My life was changed
When from my shoulders
Fell the weight of my sin

So it’s with everything I am
I reach out for Your hand
The hope for change
The second chance I’ve gained

On You I throw my life
Casting all my fears aside
How could greater love than this
Ever possibly exist

Consume my thoughts
As I rest in You
I’m now in love
With a Saviour
Bearing the marks of His love

So I’ll wait upon You now
With my hands released to You
Where a little faith’s enough
To see mountains lift and move

And I’ll wait upon You now
Dedicated to Your will
To this love that will remain
A love that never fails



Anyway , try to get a program called MiniLyrics. It automatically find lyrics for you when you play songs in winamp or just windows media player. It is built-in in those programs.

~ What's Up ~

So , how's the song on Casting Crown's Who Am I? It's not a very new song , but it's just very nice. They have good voice , good music and above all , they sing for the One Above All. It's very touching for me the first time I heard of it. Try hearing another song of them titled Voice of Truth.

What a tough week I had(ok la , a lil mayb nt tat much). At first , I try to learn to be kiasu. I decided to finally get serious. Then , I continue to be it for a few days , and became over kiasu. And after that , I got a little tired. Lastly , I got tired. I need rest. I keep reminding myself that I'm not tired. Reminding myself I can pull it through. After all , it's just another week alright.

I think I'm gonna be stressed out if I simply don't rest well. They say humans need 8 hours of sleep everyday. Maybe I need to follow this basic principle? (Hey , i slept for 7 hrs daily , just slightly a bit small gap of that , right?)

I guess I just have to cool down. By the way , people , how does my face look to you all the time? steady , no problem face or a guy with so many problems that never smile?

Gonna watch Shana II 13 and 14(yea , i did say i was goin to watch epi 13 d las tym but i tangguh til nw) , then bleach 157 , and then wait for naruto II 44.

Sien ar. Curiculum activites tomorrow!

Cut it out.

I see you struggling , struggle and struggle. Time to time , you struggle. Struggle to find a place to stand. To stand up high so that more can see you. More will know your very presence. Know that you exist. Respect you. You are scared of being alone. Being so low that when you cry , none will know. Therefore , you work so much to climb up and reach to people.

But do you realise? You only see that group of people above you. You think that group is most well-worth to be with. Look lower. They are also people around you , at the same level with you and some , lower level than you.

Is that what you really want? Being known , being more recognized , being more popular? Sit down. Calm down. Stop with everything you are doing. Close your eyes. And start going to the thinking realm. You are what you are. You are unique in your own special way. There's no one 100% exactly biological , physically , mentally the same as you. Even a clone should not be you if it's 100% same as the genes are the same.

Just be yourself. Don't change yourself in any kind of way just to be suited in a group or a party.

Casting Crowns - Who Am I

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wondering heart.

Not because of who I am.
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
And you told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who am I?
That the voice that calm the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am.
But because what of youve done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
And you told me who I am.
I am yours.

Not because of who I am.
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done.
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
You told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cuz I am yours.
I am yours.

Tui

Tuition had become a trend lately. Or it is a must already in this era of knowledge and technology?

Not sure. I only know i don't go tuition. But please take note. I don't tuition doesn't mean I'm very smart or i get straight As. I just can't stand 2 hours sitting there listening to teaching when I already heard teachers' teachings in school for 5 hours already in weekdays. Plus , if you tuition for months that could be few hundred bucks. I rather saved it for something else. That's what I prefer. It even burdened your parents drving you to and fro the tuition center. My house nearby no tuition center. You expect me to walk more than 20 minutes to go? rather don't. Driving people here and there is tiring.

But tuition has it good points too. For people with low self-disciplin like me , that won't study at home except burning midnight oil at the eleventh hour(i suppose most people are like that?), tuition is good to overcome this.

Lazy to blog anymore. Haven't watch Shana II. Off to watch now. Surprisingly , I'm still awake and not sleepy after only 6 hours of sleep. Good for me.

I Failed..

Failed what?

I failed customizing a nice blog skin so i think i'll just stick to this. Simple and nice to me , though. Thanks to all my faithful readers. (Although quite little, haha). Anyway bye.

F3 Frens

And this year , I had a another people I know left. But I'm Ok with it. Why? Cause I'm not in the same class with that guy last year. And how in the world would I know this guy? Ok , he's Lucas Tan and i guess that's all i can write about him. (I'll get killed if I furthur on describing ,am I right?)

This guy , even only know him in form 2 and 3 , seemed to be one my my closest friends in those 2 years. Being my best competer in studies in those times, he's a good friend. Can't stand him , he studies a lot and memang hardworking. Therefore , I wanted to beat him in studies so i also started studying hard and overtake him. However , that leads to the beginning of competeting of studies and ermm... friendship.



So he's leaving for New Zealand. I admired him. He had planned it all on what career he wants and getting the PR even before his PMR. Good luck to you , Lucas.

Form 3 friends. I missed those days. Everything's easier , nicer and all the sweet memories. My best friend since form 1 to 3 , had to be separated with him due to stupid things. We have to choose subjects in science stream. But only 1 subject makes the difference between class. He chose Principles of Accounts. I chose chinese. He hates chinese. I dislike accountings. It's a must to choose one of this two in our school besides the other science stream subjects. He's Danny Chung.

Best described as mathematic experts , he done well in mathematics and even till now -- additional mathematics. Both of us like mx so much we discuss , analysis and talk about it during lower secondarys. We topped in class for the highest marks in mathematics. Class 3B1 . But it's different strory for me now. Can't get 90+ for general mx. No need me to say about Add mx la ho. Even lower mark lor.

However , being separated with Lucas and Danny in form 4 makes me sad. Then this year, Samuel and Lucas left Kuching. It's nothing alright. I'll move on with my life.
I'm still happy , Edward Tan , my close friend in form 3 , still my classmate now.

Gotta go for dinner. Bye. Anyone can help me with blog customization?

Teachers... be teached

It's fun to have teachers who have some sense of humour. Of course , it's very bad when your teachers is not good enough to explain the subject he or she is teaching. Even worse , no sense of humour. How are you going to make the teaching effective and interesting?

It was monday. One normal monday. We had english class. Then , Additional Mathmatics , Mathematics and few other lessons. The atmosphere was still plain boring in the class of 5S3(my class , mind you?). It's Moral Education. The Moral Teacher comes in. We greeted her. She greeted us back. She began teaching. To my little surprise , her teaching touches on religions as you know the chapter 1 of Pendidikan Moral : Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan. Ok , I actually didn't hear a thing in moral class but I only saw what's written on the blackboard. There's words like Adam , Buddha , Christian , Islam , BD , AD.

Ok , I was doing some Add Maths Questions while teacher was teaching. I end up being scolded for not underlining the nilai and huraian and penerangan nilai on the paper the teacher distributed during the lesson. I'm not super or very good in Ad Maths but i start to like to solve it. Weird me , huh? My friend (which i think he most probably don't want his name to be mentioned , and most of you who are my clsmates surely know who i am saying), do add maths ques like crazy. Most period , even general maths lesson , continue to do add maths ques. Can't stand ar. Wanna shout lor.

Where was I? Ah ya , About me not listening in class. I lifted up my head from seeing Add Maths to seeing the teacher after I heard a big laugh from most of the class. I turned over. I asked my friend what happened. Friend :'' Teacher says , some people get married just to have 'itu-itu'''. Ok , you should be old enough to know what i typed. Jason : '...'.

Lame. Now we go to Add Maths lessons. Arithmetic Progression. Whoa , this teacher really has some sense of humour. The teacher's like a living laughter medicine.

And Maths. No. of bases. Interesting. I love it. I thought Maths will be boring after form 3 because maybe the interesting part will be in Add Maths. So I conclude only form 4 Mx is boring.

That's about it , teachers.

Spring , tHe SPring.. Heroes~

A week has passed since the very opening of the grand , high-class shopping mall in Kuching called THE SPRING. Do you all know. The news on SPring almost everyday got one since 10 Jan. But of course , there's nothing more to post about it in the news anymore.


What i can conclude is that :
During the week of opening of a super grand shopping complex/cinema/restaurant/food court and etc , it's better for you to go normal , peaceful places to go out.
Why? the traffic was not jam of course. With all the traffic jam , you can't really enjoy the scenery and pleasure of true shopping.




Heroes Heroes. I just finished watching Season 2 of it. It's nice. However i was informed that season 3 won't be out anymore cause the actors don't wanna act for some reason or something. What the.. At least tell me what's going on next or let me read the sypnosis of the later seasons. (Is there season 4 n more? wow)What's going to happen to Sylar? continue cutting heads and obtain powers?

To my surprise , a cool series like Heroes can teach me something related to real life. Noah Bennet , does what he can , almost anything , taken down his life just to guarantee a peaceful life for his ''super daughter'' , Claire Bennet , who can regenerate herself after any kind of wounds. So cool. So , can't you see how precious our parent's love towards us?

Hey , can anyone teach me how to customize my blog? I don't really know how to work it out from this website : www.blogskins.com or maybe you guys can provide me with more helps and websites? Thanks a lot.

Twin Bro

Twin bro , my twin bro's birthday is today. Samuel , my twin bro? Jason has a twin bro? Yeah , not exactly biologically. Just that we look a bit the same , talk with a little unclear voices , have almost the same height( both of us not enough tall , you agree , Sam?) and that's about it. And ya , we're the same in age. He's older as you know , he's birthday's today which is on January 17 , a very early day of the year.

And this post is specially dedicated to him. So , anyone who knows him.. quit reading what i'm typing and go over to send him a birthday greetings(only if u haven't la). Bye now. For this post.

EmBaCy 07

Whoa... we kuching-ians are really...bad. Take this example:


A: Have u gone to the new , The Spring? I've been there and it's crowded with people and bla bla bla... (kinda showing evidents to prove he/she was there)

B: Ya lo , i went there and I'm having headache and i wished i didn't went to join in with the crowds. ( You know it all along it will be crowded , so what for you go?)


Conclusion : We(A+B) went to the newly opening , the Spring. We are up-to-date. We are cool. Story Ends.


Yaya. That's the way it is. Is this 'disease' of malaysians (i duno us only or other countries also the same or not) that can't be 'cured' ?


Back to my topic. Embacy. It's known as Emmanuel Baptist Church Youth. I joined them since about march 2006. It's a nice place of course. Held in Uncle's house on every saturday nights.
And to say , Samuel has been asking me to go since 2004. I'm quiet and anti-social right? I'm 10 times more anti-social and quiet back then. 10 times!? No kidding I WAS like that. How horrible leh if it really is 10 times. You won't wanna know me back then.


Ok , Embacy is really a great place to grow , in terms of socially , spiritually and of course...a great place la. We get to hear God's word through Uncle Mervyn's preaching every week. And we have nice praise and worship. It's not only the nice musics , but also i can see the difference and hunger for God in the musicians. They practise a lot on their musical instruments - piano , guitar , drum (ok , tis is on sunday morning church service only , u wun c drums playin on sat nites) , flute , violin. Thanks to their passionate to play and practise and God's grace , we are having a nice time praise and worship God during youth meeting on saturdays. God Bless Them. So , come. Come along and enjoy His presence and be refreshed.

Samuel's very right. EmBaCY's really need some changes though. Even though i came only in march 2006. I came once in 2004 and once in 2005. What's the difference ? There's icebreaking game before the praise and worship in 04. We are not that close among we youths than youths back than such as Edison Ho. (I rememberd , we play the game and he's planning the games). If we are to be so religious and not really doing socialistic activities , it's not very good. We focuses only on musics on normal meetings on saturdays ? No , it's not enough. We need more socializing activities.


But one thing I'm sure. God's love and presence and grace is still with us. Even when you feel forsaken , just come to Him - He had done it on the cross.

I was a game addict since form 1 to about ... form 3. All i do daily i sitting in front of the computer , playing games for hours. I look , so like an computer nerd. I don't really know what is the reason i exist in this world. What am i living for everyday? What we humans stay in earth for? I was a very negative minded person (very very very). Are we humans just going through the circle of life - born , study , work , married , set up a family , old , die ? And the nice and kind God and Jesus i heard a lot in Sunday Schools. Are they just written by men and doesn't really exist? Is Christian just merely a religion? There must be more than this. I kept thinking and looking for answers but not. I decided to give it up and continue my normal , old , ''always play game'' days.


So I tell you. My form 1 and 2 life is horrible. Still regret thinking how i wasted my life. 2 , or even longer years , it's quite something. My greatest gratitude to Samuel , Uncle Mervyn , Ms Law (my iscf teacher). And all the elders & youths in Embacy. By seeing the changes in you guys and the way you guys live your life , it's very good to me. You guys don't necessarily need to play guitar on stage or whatsoever. What I am today , Thanks. This is my true story , not trying to make you to come in to chrisitianity. Just wana let you all know what God can do to love all of us.

The SPring

Yo all kuching-ians , today's the grand opening of the spring. And as you all know , once there is an new opening of shopping complex or something , it is quite a job for us kuching-ians to go and check the new place out. And of course , me , as one of them , will go later to check it out. Plus , it's just a few mins walk from my house. Isn't it nice? Unlike Boulevard , so far from my house and the traffic jams !? Don't want to go Boulevard anymore.

Above are some photos i receive from forwarded email i got a month ago. Very nice la. It's very huge somemore. Those photos are captured even before the construction is complete.

And I'm happy now i got the chance to watch the 11 episodes of season 2 : Heroes. It's not that nice as compared to season 1. Well , most programmes are like this , right? The great ideas are always nice , fresh and creative at the beginning but it get bored later on. That's why creativity is not all to make something successful even it is an important element in most stuffs.

So sorry i can't update as often as i am as in the holidays. I needa go school on morning , after having lunch and got home , it's 2pm. After a short nap and doing some homeworks , afternoon's almost gone. At evening and night , maybe go for doing some physical exercises , online also maybe 20 mins , dinner , watch hong kong tvb dramas on tv... it's almost time for bed. If i get less than 8 hours of sleep i sure to have eyebags the next day i got up. Time for play has shorten , haizz...

Just to let you all know , i had asthma when i was little. Plus , my lungs are weak since young. Therefore , i'm physically weak and i look weak all the time.

Anyway , stupid school rules. I forgotten all about school rules and how frustrating they are after the school holidays. I reached school late and the prefect told me to see the vice principal. The vice principal then ask me to come along with my parents to comfirm why i was late. Troublesome , or else i get rottaned lor. At least this procedure is useful. Both students and parents don't want trouble , so we will try to not be late at our best.

Lastly , Bleach , shana 2 and naruto shippuuden's out. That means i get to watch 3 anime episodes in a row. Yeah.

Sch Reopened

School , the place of learning and torturing( a lil nia la) has begun for all the students in Malaysia on the 3rd of january. It happened to be started on thursday , so I got a little break in the weekends after only 2 days of... learning. We got our textbooks on loan and they're new. We are the first student to use the newly printed textbooks. Cool ar. Not all new , a few textbooks are quite old.

To let you all know , my school's bell rang on 7.05am , which is the time my lessons start. So i reached school at 6.50am to choose a seat. (There's not much of a choice to choose if you reach this late) My friends arrived at 6am to get a nice seat. Walao eh. But a good seat is important , you'll sit there till end of 2008 , spm! There's only 3 seats for me to choose : the 3 center most first row seats (directly in front of the teacher's seat) No choice. Sit lor.

Good news , (and a little bad) form teacher comes in. She says ''You are all to sit according to your class no.'' Lame isn't it? The whole class responded with a great shocked. Imagine , those came super early... pity.

And yes , this year i'm out of being a class monitar.(im assist. las year)I chose not to be one. It's cool and also can use the monitar's power to go here and there(and im not tellin u whr). But it's tiring. So i said no to the teacher and raymond was the victim(monitar) now. This form teacher is very troublesome. Of course , i'm a normal student now , no longer a prefect , no longer doing monitar's job. Monitar's job is many , responsibility also many , and the jobs come unexpectedly. So , if you're not ready for responsibility , don't go for jobs like those for it's power and name.

Moral Teacher : If you listen to me , you are sure to get A1. If not , you get A2.
Jason: (in his mind) walao eh.

She sure has one big confidence to say that. Whatever , we'll see things going on next time.

After form's teacher gone , we change our seats! Nice. Just hope our form teacher doesn't come and check during other lessons.

So loong. Till next time.

HEROES

Yes , i have been talking about games and animes and movies and... no more , actually.


This tv programme is just so cool. It is like the superheroes cartoon we watched when we were little as kids coming to be more realistic. And maybe that is why the setting of the show is in new york. The mutants idea is nice. I like all these mutant idea , that's why i liked TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtle) and movies like spidey. However , still waiting for the chance to see season 2. Ei , now to the latest , season 2 how many episodes ? i don't know.


Cool , first we have a Hiro Nakamura with time controlling power. Then we have powers like moving through walls , flying , obtaining more powers , 2 characteristics in one , reading people's mind , immortal body and ability to see future.


However , still a bit far from logic to me sometimes.






Careful , this guy cuts ur head off.


Don't look at him. (haha)

Hotties.

That's the end now.

Me mE me...

Apparently , the questions are often being asked to the antisocial , quiet (or even more descriptions) guy named Jason Lau. Actually not , the questions are maybe asked in the minds of people , not out from the mouth to ask this guy.

But to think of it , there are many who asked about him being so quiet and his socialistic personality.

To clear off all curiousity and all unanswered questions , I personally went and have a talk with him. This are the reports I got.
-i can't be talkative.
-maybe i'm quite ''cacat'' when talk english in person.(hokkien at home , bm to tchers n chinese to frens...hw do u expect his english very gd leh)
-i'm just the quiet type.
-im too hao lien to talk to all of you (jz kiddin)
-i prefer to think on my own , blog out.

At home , Jason doesn't talk much neither. (According to what his family members reported)
He do talk but not much. He talks the most with his little sister at present and most with his elderly sister years back , before his elderly sister went to study in malacca.

Same thing applies at school. Nothing can really change his personality after having many detailed researches. Only God can change this.

J-son

a very thank you to all who read this. just for a little fun since im bored and sch's opening tml! (argh!!!)
to all i ever hurted before ( tat i noe or i hurted wifout me noeing) because of my proudness , rudeness or even any other reasons ,
i sincerely ask forgiveness. i'm sorry.

haiz.. duno if i can still on9 a lot and blog lots of stuff in the future. I'll update as often as i can , thanks to all my faithful readers. Your faithfulness to come and read and comment is meaningful to me.

Leaving..

People you know leaving you kind of making you sad. Is it the mind's telling you that things are not going to be the same anymore ? Or maybe your mind's telling you that you can't adapt to the situation at the very moment ?

The last few days of holidays and samuel being on the surface of the earth , kuching , has just gone. Apparently , unexpectedly , i'm being ''attacked'' by a person named ''sadness''. It is not like i didn't expect it to happen , and i thought i will be ok and i'll just move on with it. But it didn't happened the way i expected , sadness surrounded me all over.

Now maybe i understand a little better why people who had their loved ones leave forever-passed away feeling so sad... they leave you forever.

Memories comes out when leaving occurs. It's quite nice to just lay down and think of memories.

Hello 2008 !

First of all , congratulations to all pmr achievers!! Whether it's good or bad results , be thankful to God. Yes , it's really sad if ur hard works didn't really pay off , but... u did ur best , there's no reason to regret. The numbers of As don't really determine whether you're successful or not in life or maybe as a sons and daughters , students and human. But it's really bad that it's so realistic nowadays , you get little As people kind of having ''low eye'' on you. As , As , As , haizz.. I'm also dissapointed with myself a little when i think of my pmr results last year , as in 2006. Getting 7As and a B. A b for bm ... a little (maybe a big gap la) more to get straight As. That feeling is so... bad. Just a little more to perfection.. it's the past.

Secondly , a very happy new year to all of you. It's a new year of new hope , new challenges and new life. We don't really know what lies ahead of us , but put your faith in God , and continue to be passionate for God.

SPM?

Study

Prepare

Make it Happen

A nice one i recieve from my friend.

Ok , yesterday i went to the movies with my friends. (Also don't know if next year i will be free for movies...so watch it for the last time before school reopen lor.At first , I was planning to watch 2 movies.

National treasure 2 is really a good movie. I really like the puzzles and clues they work hard and search smartly to get to the treasure. I'm amazed that Ben Gates could done so much just to protect (erm...how to say jaga nama baik keluarganya?) his family's name and honour. And for Wilkinson , he purposely accused Thomas Gates just to force Ben Gates to find the myths and the Golden City. You see , evil ones really do ANYTHING to achieve their goal. So , beware of it.

Wilkinson also erm... seem to be a rich person but really desperate for a position of their family's name in the history of finding the golden city. But why... is popularity and fame that important? As for the artists , they are already so frustrating by their popularity because of ''pemberitas''..

But being popular&well known is QuIte a good feeling if you don't have it.

But don't know what reason , i skipped watching avp2. Maybe it's very scary? or maybe a friend told me it's very boring and everyone end up dieing.

Instead , my friends n i went for dota. Dota (Defense of the ancients) is really popular among the guys in smk kuching high. A highly addictive strategy and skillful game. You see , my friends have been playing since the beginning of 2007(most of them) and some the year before that. You can see how good the game is that my friends keep on asking me to play and try even till...yesterday. After rejecting for almost a million times(ok , this is just to make it exagerating...but really! i rejected many times) , i decided to try it out for one time. A game with 80+ heroes , with each of them having many skills and ultimate attacks and maps of many kinds , it's really quite addictive. I end up losing like shit. I don't want to play anymore. Of course , the graphics are quite nice. So what i can conclude is: people out there who havent try it out , don't try!

regret playing anyway , prefer to stay at home.

School's opening 2 more days. Need to do my homeworks liao.
