When I was a kid, I remember myself seeing my mum crying with her eyes got red while peeling off onion skins. Of course I didn't know you tend to get it during peeling off onion skins at that time until I saw, asked and knew of the real situation.
This is the onion memory I have.
I'm very observant when I was still a kid, if I didn't judge wrongly. But now things around me don't seem so simple huh? or maybe people aren't so observant anymore as they age? Tired of observing things around them due to being so coped up with fun and work maybe?
I don't know.

Well, yesterday was the first Christmas I had away from home. Me and the Kuching gang didn't went back home because we will waste lots of time to go back and forth and don't enjoy much because the holidays are only a few days.
Hence, I started in the morning of yesterday celebrating Christmas at Hope Ipoh for their Christmas service, joined them for lunch, then buying stuffs for bbq in the afternoon with Alex and Sze Kiet.
After that, busying around with the rest of the gang for the bbq night. Played games, sang Christmas Carolling together. It was quite unusual than in Kuching somehow.
After that, it was late and I fall asleep for some long hours so easily. That's how Christmas this year was celebrated.
Yeah, let the Christmas spirit remain in us, for Christmas is the birthday of our Lord Jesus, who came All For Love. Get to know His everlasting love. Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year all!
Should make a new year resolution liao. 2009 is almost over. Whoa fast. Last post of the year?
PS/ Internet speed has never been this good with everyone going back home until monday.

At Here I Decided
If you ever came to my blog, you would realise that my last blog post was on November which basically indicates that I don't blog frequently. No, you're wrong.
I'm online now using another hostel's wi-fi. I here offically decided to continue my blogging hobby only after January 2010, after I finished my current semester and moved away from my current hostel, which have the lousiest wi-fi in the campus as compared to other hostels. The lousy wi-fi is so lousy that I sometimes can't even online in the hostel room.
Till then, in advance I wish to all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Side thought: Life in college is getting great with the crazy, random and tight schedule everyday. =)

The Talk
Well, last friday night was the C.O.P. Farewell Night for July 2009 Semester. It was celebrated every semester for seniors leaving for internship or graduating.
Man, I still don't understand why it's so hard to blow a balloon until it burst as soon after u finished squeezing a piece of biscuits into your mouth and munch it so fast and what's in mind is telling you to blow the balloon to burst. My balloon only bursted after so long, don't know if i don't really have much stamina or the skill to do it.
But anyway, it's just a fun game. My wishes to the seniors, all the best no matter where you'll be heading to.
--------
The night before the farewell night, after helping out a little and that, I went to the prayer meeting with the seniors for the first time. Well, thanks to Henry for bringing me there. It was quite something new for me, a daily prayer meeting of 11pm to 12am everyday. I think it's fairly important as it is a time of caring , encouraging and edifying of each other.
After it ended, Chia Ming brought me back. It's because my hostel is quite quite far from the prayer hut. Just to mention it here, it's one reason I don't really like my hostel. =o
During the journey, I had a talk with Chia Ming. Just to highlight the striking part.
To be frank, there's roughly 4 types of student you can be in the uni.
You can be a student that is...
1) very conscious of studies and to get CGPA of 4.0 and studys very hard, all the time.
2) super active in clubs and events, being Project Directors here and there.
3) thinking of fun and entertainment only.
4) passionate to serve our mighty God in church, leading people to know Christ.
Well, the fourth one is a good choice.
This verse is trully what I believed and experienced before. =)
Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
You seek God's kingdom first, and all will be added unto you.
Do not worry so much about your future, He already had His hands on it.
Hope you had your faith increased to another level.
God bless.

I Just Don't Get It!
I looked at the mirror just now at myself. I still don't get it.
1)One night last week, just some days before the general election of MPPUTP(Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar Universiti Teknologi Petronas), a guy came knocking on my door. The first thing he said was not about why I should vote for candidate, but..
He: Are you a chinese? (A look of surprise he gave me.)
Me: Yea.. (Shouldn't you be promoting a candidate, holding papers and stuffs in your hands?)
P/s: Out of 6 candidates, 5 will be choosen. So why do they have to come for the few nights, disturbing people door to door? Kiasu people. They even gave notebooks and choki-choki to bride us.
2)Yesterday at Programming Lab 2. The lab assistant/tutor asked me, are you a malaysian? He's just curious, I think.)
P/s: Man, this is too much!
3) Today at v6 cafe. The cashier uses English for the first time to tell me the price and erm..everything like that happens to foreigners only. But not to my friends.
Do I look like a Malaysian? A Chinese?
This is complicated-ly hard. =D
------------
By the way, I just knew my 1st sem results yesterday and it was better than expected. Surely, God guided me. Thank God for the results!!

The Inner Heart Speaks
I must say, since started college life till now, I learnt a lot. Real lot.
The malay pantunI learnt in around Form 1 or two which states "Banyak orang banyak ragam" is so so true.
In college, there are people who study so hard until there is nothing more to do besides lecture, assignments and study. Yes, I repeat, lecture, assignments and study.
There are also people who play so hard. Lol. Played online games until after midnight everyday and burn the midnight oil for finishing assignments and studying for tests.
For your information, my college only offers two courses IT and Engineering courses. Thus, there are certain immature people who keeps saying that THEIR engineering course is harder and they are like more dominant to my course.
Grow up. To these group of people.
Sheesh. This is the first time I celebrate my birthday and Mooncake Festival away from home.

The Dropped Chalk
This is a true story of something that happened just a few years ago at USC.
There was a professor of philosophy there who was a deeply committed atheist. His primary goal for one required class was to spend the entire semester attempting to prove that God couldn't exist.
His students were always afraid to argue with him because of his impeccable logic. For twenty years, he had taught this class and no one had ever had the courage to go against him.
Sure, some had argued in class at times, but no one had ever really gone against him because of his reputation. At the end of every semester on the last day, he would say to his class of 300 students, "If there is anyone here who still believes in Jesus, stand up!"
In twenty years, no one had ever stood up. They knew what he was going to do next. He would say, "Because anyone who believes in God is a fool.
If God existed, he could stop this piece of chalk from hitting the ground and breaking. Such a simple task to prove that He is God, and yet He can't do it."
And every year, he would drop the chalk onto the tile floor of the classroom and it would shatter into a hundred pieces. All of the students would do nothing but stop and stare. Most of the students thought that God couldn't exist. Certainly, a number of Christians had slipped through, but for 20 years, they had been too afraid to stand up.
Well, a few years ago there was a freshman who happened to enroll. He was a Christian, and had heard the stories about his professor. He was required to take the class for his major, and he was afraid. But for three months that semester, he prayed every morning that he would have the courage to stand up no matter what the professor said, or what the class thought.
Nothing they said could ever shatter his faith...he hoped. Finally, the day came. The professor said, "If there is anyone here who still believes in God, stand up!" The professor and the class of 300 people looked at him, shocked, as he stood up at the back of the room.
The professor shouted, "You FOOL!!! If God existed, he would keep this piece of chalk from breaking when it hit the ground!"
He proceeded to drop the chalk, but as he did, it slipped out of his fingers, off his shirt cuff, onto the pleat of his pants, down his leg, and off his shoe. As it hit the ground, it simply rolled away unbroken. The professor's jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk. He looked up at the young man, and then ran out of the lecture hall.
The young man who had stood, proceeded to walk to the front of the room and shared his faith in Jesus for the next half hour. 300 students stayed and listened as he told of God's love for them and of His power through Jesus.
