A saying goes by -
It takes time to gain someone's trust, but it takes only a single day to
crush the trust the person have for you.

How true is it? I'll find out real soon.

Anyway, let's not jump into conclusions first shall we?

:)

The greatest deed of love is to forgive and forget; Love your Enemies as the Lord commanded.

Today is Chinese New Year Eve, please forgive and forget all the previous hatred you have, be it on your friend or your enemy. Let there be a new beginning for everyone, shall we?

Movie Spree

Been to the cinema twice, which is yesterday and today. Watched these two movies.

Yesterday;

Jeff, Kelvin and I booked tickets for ‘Ghost Rider’ and met Aldrin, Keith, Eric, Judieth, Jacq, Irene and Aurelia in the cinema. They were planning to watch ‘Happy Birthday’ at first but then they changed to ‘Music and Lyrics’. I didn’t plan to watch any movies that day as I was reaching my limit of spending. Since both Jeff and Kelvin decided to join them, I had no other choice but to follow suit because I would have to loiter around the cinema for around 2 hours with boredom.

I thought the movie would be a boring one with singing and more singing till the end of the movie. I was wrong. The movie is categorized under comedy and romance. It made the audience laugh heartily. It includes a few censored scenes (Judieth kept blocking our sight with her bag). While on the way home, both Jeff and Kelvin commented that the movie we watched earlier is like an insult to the Buddhist, I was not too sure about it so I kept quiet and listen to them. Too lazy to write out a summary of the movie, so go watch the movie yourself; it is worth it for RM8.

This song keeps repeating itself in my mind. Because of that, the first thing I did after reaching home was to hunt for the song, found it and downloaded it. Thanks to Lite FM.

-Way back into Love-


Today;

I had a surprise visit from both Jeff and Kelvin. I was still gaming actually so I had to leave it and went to take a quick bath and dressed myself up as it isn’t nice to make your friends to wait for you. After jumping into the car, we went to fetch KT and ZW. Then we went to The Rock Shop and Hock Lee Centre to kill time. ZW bought a pair of ‘dragon’ jeans while KT bought a belt in The Rock Shop.

I only remembered the moment in the arcade located in Hock Lee Centre. KT and Jeff played a sort-of-street-fighter arcade game. *Bang BAng BANg BANG* nope, that was not the sound of gunshots, it was the sound of the palm (fist) trying to beat up the console. I could not stop laughing non-stop upon seeing the seriousness in KT’s face.

In the cinema, we met up with Chen, Robert and XJ. Without wasting any time, we bought drinks and popcorn at the counter hastily before rushing into the hall. There are two ghost riders mentioned in the story. Both of them look very cool; one with his blazing bike and the other one is a retired ghost rider - with a fiery horse. The movie overall is near to perfect, with all the graphic and sound effects.

Bone Fletcher or Bone Clinkz was what we called the ghost rider as it resembles the hero Bone Clinkz in DotA. The only different thing is that one of them wears a jacket and uses a chain as its weapon while the other doesn’t wears a jacket and uses bow and arrows as its weapon.

All 8 of us went to a nearby marketplace aka open air area for dinner. They ordered the infamous beef noodles once they rest their backs on the chair. I told them to count me out, with the reason that I’m not hungry. In fact, I am left with only RM2 in my wallet and could not bear to spend it.


Never mind that, after dinner, they decide to go to Ultimate CC for a game of CS. There was nothing I could say but to follow them, it would not be reasonable to ask my dad to come all the way to fetch me back home. Upon reaching the CC, I told them that I do not want to play but Chen had already asked for 8 places so I had no choice but to play on.

After reaching home, feeling tired and down, I head to my room and switch on the PC. Starring at the screen blankly for a moment before realizing that I had not taken my dinner yet, I went to the refrigerator and hunt for food but there was none that is edible. In the end, I tore open a packet of chips that I saw lying innocently on the dining table and gobble them down. I gulp down a can of Shandy to force all the chunks of chips into my stomach before I start getting hiccups.

Played a game of DotA with my clan mates and Yong against a group of friends and own them badly. I console myself, telling myself that I will be able to get red packets and more red packets to replace the money I had used up these days. That was the only thing that cheered me up for today.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone, many would assume that this day is only for couples and those who are single will likely felt left out and sad. Couples of course would go for candlelight dinner, sending flowers, exchange of gifts and doing romantic stuffs etc. Singles aren’t left out also; they could get together for a movie or a dinner or even couple up (as if that would happen).
I wonder why guys send flowers to girls on Valentine’s Day. I thought it should be the other way round; on Valentine’s Day, girls will send chocolates to the guy they like. Then on White Day, which is March 14th, only then men are expected to return the favor to those who gave them chocolates on Valentine’s Day.

Anyway, here’s a Valentine poem you might like to give to your loved and cherished ones,

I do believed that the Lord above
Created You for Me to love
He picks You up from all the rest
Because He knows I Love You best…
I have a heart and that is true
That it was given from Me to You
So care for it like what I do
For I have mine and You have too…

When I go to heaven and You’re not there
I’ll wait for You on the golden stair
But if You’ll not come on the judgment day
I knew You went the other way
So I’ll return my angel wings
My golden lamp and everything
To prove to You my love is dear
I’ll go with You wherever You go…

Yes, I took this poem from the picture in my blog. It was a Valentine poem after all.

Edit: I was told that White Day is only a marketing effort in Japan only.

of Misunderstandings and Harsh Words

After a game of DotA today, I gained an old friend back, whom I had lost quite a few months ago. The reason behind it is misunderstandings and more misunderstandings, including an abundant exchange of harsh words. This reminds me of the separation of Singapore from Malaysia that I had studied in Malaysian studies weeks ago.

Here I’d like to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation to both Robert and Jeff for being the middlemen during this cold war between me and him. Let’s call him Y. Robert had been the middlemen since the time when he and I had our own so-called cold war and had been trying very hard to advise me to understand Y’s nature and personality despite that fell into deaf ears.

Till today; when I was invited by Jeff for a game of DotA through Hamachi, it was arranged for me and Jeff to be in a team while Robert and Y in the other. The game started moments later. I was lagging so I told Robert (the host) that I’m lagging. The conversation goes like this.

Me: Robert im lagging
Y: Comp problem?
Me: Not talking to you
Y: …

Then the exchange of harsh words began. Both of us talked casually like nothing had happened, but actually, our words are forged and shaped into piercing knives or anything sharp you could think of.

In the end, they put both me and Y in a chat room in msn to settle the problem between me and him. At first, it looked like putting two fighting cockerels in a cage. But then, I followed what Robert advise me to do - No usage of harsh words and to do it the gentlemen way. He(Y) followed suit too. Everything went well and apologies are exchanged.

If it had not been for both Robert and Jeff, the current relations between me and Y might have decline into a terminal stage. Thanks again, to the both of you!
