I'm going to...

Change a new pair of spectacles! The last one was actually okay, until Hwei sat on it. The screws could not handle the burden so they gave way and one half of the thingy connecting the specs to the face broke. Here's a picture of it.

A victim of pressure.

I have something to tell you sis: See you in court!

Proof wrapped up and good to go!

I shall call this case the "Pressured Spectacles" case.

My sisters...

Are on the way to KL as we speak. Maybe reach already. I must say the amount of things they packed were like packing for the entire family. They were like preparing for war more than university!

They even brought mattress for camping out at night during war.

And to think they cramped it all inside the small Kelisa!

It seems...

I have a follower. At first, I was excited.


Then, when I found out it was my sister, I went dot, dot, dot.


Good post? If it is, Follow Me! It's much better than other shampoo brands!!

I see a new dawn of era in lameness....
And I'm still there as the ruler.

Christmas is near and.....

QUESTION:

Why is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer's nose red?

Answer:

It's winter and he has flu.

Enjoy your Christmas and do remember the real reason why we celebrate it; Celebrating the birth of someone important, not Santa Claus and a reindeer with flu.

Random stuff

My ulcers are healed! But there's a new one now, so it's still kinda painful when eating and brushing teeth. Temptation to brush only once a day is especially strong now. Personally, I thought camp was alright, since it was my first camp to actually write down notes, but I kinda dozed off on the 3rd day too so it wasn't so good..... Anyway, that's about all, for the youths handling the kids on the Kids Christmas Party thingy, all the best and be patient alright?

I stuck to reading the online news for less than 15 minutes

Title just a pun from Hwei's. Anyway, the block is un-blocked already. Came across this news on the Net about a woman who was jailed for 'killing' virtual husband. What's with the 'killing' you ask? Well, this is a cut-short story of the whole incident...

They both met in a famous online game, Maple Story (Yeah, that cute I-kill-snails-to-level-up game) and over the past 2 years Maple Story developed a system where you could marry and stuff.

A very fair fight indeed.

Geng Yi and Grace?

One day, the woman logs on to the game just to find out she has been divorced by the husband! Without letter and lawyer informing some more! "How can!" she says. So instead of consulting a lawyer (maybe they were busy with exams), she took matter into her own hands.

What she did was she logged on to her ex-online-husband and killed the character. How she killed I don't know, since the characters are usually reborn after dying, just that there will be a deduction in experience points (to level up). When the poor man logged on his account, he realised his ex-online-wife killed him! So poor man became angry man and reported to the police about this. Then angry woman became poor woman when she was arrested by the police and if convicted, will either face up to 5 years in prison or fined US$5000.

The world is getting crazy don't you think so? Next thing you know wife sues husband for commiting online adultery.

Writers' Block

I'm having one of those days, where you can't think of anything much to write and post on the blog... Oh wait, looks like I have something to write and post about in the end.

Datukship anyone?

My class went for a trip to A' Famosa Water World today. Won't talk too much about what we did there but it was interesting to note that we saw a famous Hong Kong actor there as well! His name is none other than......

ERIC TSANG!

If you go 'HUH?" when you read his name and get scared that you've been living in another world, fear not, as I think you would know him if I show you a picture of him.


So cute right? He always performs as the funny person in movies and reality shows. According to my friends, he was there for a photoshoot with the Miss Hong Kongs. So seeing the girls were like 'Oh my Goodiness! They're hotter than me!" Anyway, they did the photoshoot in Malacca. The pictures are certainly going to be shown in Hong Kong and then showed to the whole wide world. Now, doesn't he deserve a Datukship as well for promoting Malacca like Sharukh Khan did? Anyway, it's just a reminder for Ali Rustam to mention his name and Jessica Alba's next time they want to recommend potential "Grandfathers".

A new sibling!

Today, Bio teacher was teaching us about bacteria and virus. Now, for the little readers, please don't sleep when you come across the word 'Bio'. It gets interesting. Anyway, she popped a question, name the fly that can transmit a bacteria that will cause a don't-know-what disease. She didn't say don't-know-what, it's just that I kinda forgot the disease's name. As usual, nobody could remember the name of the fly so she wrote it on the green board. The name was astonishing. It made me wonder why my parents have been hiding this secret for the past 16 years. The name is....

Tsetse fly.

I was like "What the? I have another sibling that transmit diseases?" Well, here's a picture of my lost-and-flying sibling.


Isn't he/she/it just adorable? It has big eyes like mine, wider forehead than Hwei, is probably as good in counting as Shuen (have to count babies) and big appetite like Ken! I'm ecstatic.

I feel Old

I always call those older than me old, because they are old, and they admit they are old. Anyway, yesterday while practicing songs with Yen Mei and Jessica for the youth meeting, I saw a bus stopping in front of the gate of MGC. That bus is not an ordinary one, it contains monsters. I'm surprised they have not torn pieces of it out or flatten the tyres or something. Anyway, while protecting the mic from the usual like-the-mic monsters, I saw 2 Indian boys walking in. They were shy, and looked about 8 or 9 years old and nice. One of them were Kathic Gajah (I think the spelling is like that) while the other was Stephen. I chatted with Elephant a while, when suddenly he called me uncle.

I was literally jaw-dropped and I was like, "OI! I still young la!" Goodness, an unintentional monster, didn't expect that. Although I'm much older than him, I can say I'm not THAT old, and I do not ADMIT that I'm old! Anyway, for those oldies out there, my heart feels for you....honestly... really...seriously la!

Tennis is tough!

Today is the first time I played tennis.... and it's a lot more difficult than when you see all those liars, fakers and bluffers on TV! The serve is like so hard to serve and the shots are like attracted to the net, everytime hit net! Wei Jin, Yen Mei and I played while the youths later joined. It was quite fun, especially when you're playing it with your pals! Tennis makes badminton so much easier to play. Half the time we run was to take the tennis balls, not chase the shots... because all hit net. I expect to see muscular legs among the youths present already.

Former World No. 1 Liar, Faker, Bluffer. Making serves look so easy.
His name is Federer.... And I'm so Fed-up with him.

Current World No. 1 Liar, Faker, Bluffer. He makes muscles look easy to get.

Well, at the end of the day, I still enjoy watching tennis! Though it's true what Yen Mei said:

"Tennis gets you feeling discouraged."

Every sport does when you're playing it the 1st time, or 2nd, or 3rd actually. So it's good to know I'm not the only lousy one in MGC. Didn't plan to hurt those who play by saying they lousy also ya.

Why I will never buy Toto

Today, while talking to my friends on the field with about another 2000 students on it as well, a bird could not hold its poo any longer and decided to let go. A 100x50m field was ready to accept the fertilizer but due to poor physics, it dropped on my hand. Yeah, out of 3998 other hands, it fell on mine. You know, I've never won any lucky draw, maybe because I was unlucky (and couldn't draw) so this must have been like winning grand prize, with the odds of 2:3998. Well, despite the encouraging figures, it still felt like an unlucky draw instead.

Darn you, Toto Bird!

Kids

Today, while waiting for dad to come pick me up, I sat at the MAA entrance reading the bible. A little boy, shorter than Ken a bit, came out of the store next door, wearing a Power Rangers mask, dressed with the suit, holding a short sword. It was very funny to see him like this, and he was running to one end, Hong Leong Bank and raising his sword, finding his mom. After running to one end just to realise his parents not there, he came back with still the spirit of the PR. Just as he reached the store, his parents and a kid, most likely his brother appeared from the corner of the bank. He was so happy to see them that he ran there again. I noticed the kid, with the parents, was also wearing a Power Rangers mask with the suit and sword as well! Both of them were like running back and forth and swinging their swords! When they passed me, one of them looked at me weirdly with the expression, "Dude, where's your Power Rangers mask??" It was a really adorable sight to see, and if I brought my handphone along, I would have snapped pictures to prove it, but too bad I didn't. My conclusion from this scene today is that:

All Kids are adorable.

Yup, you have to admit that no matter how monstrous the kids in our church can be, there are adorable moments from them. If you need more convincing, look at this kid.

Pic taken from Hwei's Friendster

Heh.... Yen Mei calls me a kid, kiddo to be exact. Everyone says I still look like a kid even though I'm 16 already. What to say, guys... you said it!

It's been long since I SS.
Super Shaun I mean :D

My 1st try on Poetry

It's been long since I blogged. So sorry as Internet connection could not be reached. Anyway, I tried poetry, it's pretty fun. You know the poem by Shakespeare? The one title Sonnet 18 where he compared his beloved to a summer day. I can do the same too.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
NO! Malaysia has no summer!
Instead, I shall compare you to a sunny day.
With you, I will shine.

Not bad eh? By the way, just an update about the wedding. Geng Yi and Beng Hui was there as 2 tables were occupied by MGC people. The newer youths wouldn't know who the woman getting married is because she left when I was just a kid and it took me a while to remember her. It was quite a fun night and my face became red and looked drunk because I drank too much Sprite.

Why Malaysia Lacks Superheroes

I think it's safe for me to say that everyone knows superheroes like Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, X-men, and for the sake of the ladies, Wonder Woman. All these heroes come from America and are very popular among all the age groups. My dad collects lots and lots of them, in hope that it would be antique and sold in a much higher price.

I won't go in depth into this whole selling thing, but what is the main topic today is Malaysia lacks superheroes! When you mention superhero in Malaysia, the only one close to being a hero would be Keluang Man or the most recent, Cicak Man. I know, I know, the costumes look like a cut-rate production but I think the important factor that contributed most to the lack of superheroes would be the language.

Allow me to explain my point. Let's say we have our own Stan Lee (the dude who created Spider-man) who manages to think of all the super names before the Americans do. If this happens, surely the names would be in Malay. Will it have the same effect? The excitement, the joy of reading the comic?Well, let's see whether this excites you:

1. Spider-Man - Orang Lelabah
2. Batman - Orang Kelawar
3. Superman - Orang Hebat
4. Fantastic Four - Empat Fantastik
5. Mr. Fantastic - Encik Fantastik
6. The Thing - Benda Itu
7. Wonder Woman - Perempuan Menghairahkan
8. Iron Man - Orang Besi
9. Green Lantern - Tanglung Hijau
10. Ghost Rider - Pelumba Hantu

Wow... I think Fantastic Four would rate the lowest in Malaysia... Anyway, believe it or not, villains are what make heroes, so let's throw in some villains alright?

1. Joker - Pelawak
2. Doctor Doom - Doktor Hancur
3. Doctor Ovtavius/Octopus - Doktor Sotong (Adrian knows this guy)
4. Green Goblin - Tolol Hijau
5. Two-Face - Dua Muka
6. Shocker - Pengejut
7. The Rhino - Badak Sumbu
8. Sandman - Orang Pasir

I think that's why Malaysia lack superheroes and villains. People wouldn't be able to finish off the comic because they'll be laughing their heads off with the names, especially Doktor Sotong or Benda Itu. This is what you get when the Lims are together.... if it's lame, then I'm just the person listening and blogging upon their request, none of the names my idea.

Bye!

Shucks! 3 people are leaving MGC this week! It is none other than Zheng, Daniel, and sis. Without a doubt, they are one of the closest church members to me and the few childhood friends that always played with me although the age gap was like 4-5 years difference. We played a lot of games such as Black Knight, White Knight, wrestling and stuff. I still recall Daniel calling me a girl because I wanted to be with sis! But hey, soft feelings dude! Was the 1st to teach me play football and instill a love-MU and hate-Arsenal thing. Taught me a lot of things, good and bad, but I think(hope) the good outweigh the bad though!

Ah Zheng, believe it or not, he used to wrestle as well. As the older one, he always let me win by a landslide and even celebrated with me. Although after he left to study in Singapore, when he came back, it was still fun chatting with him and there were no barriers or anything. I do hope that you'll come back soon again though! And come back only after you buy that keychain!

Ahh, my sister. Well, to be honest, I only remembered all the fightings we had when we were kids. I'm sorry for being such a brat last time, I'm a copycat, so I copy what the older ones display :P Anyway, I feel we've grown a lot closer over the years, and thanks for all the patience you had for me!

Well, that's about all. I could write more, but nah.. Wouldn't want you guys to miss your orientation/work and only remember me for the bad that I've done. As a friend, I'm sorry for all the wrongs that I've done and do hope all of you would succeed in being a hotel manager/ pharmacist/ lawyer! As a brother, may God bless you for all you've contributed to the church and continue to grow in Him. Amen.

I Know it's Kinda Late.....

..... But happy birthday. This is a tribute to my blog.

Hey you
I know I'm in the wrong
Time flies
When I'm playing FM
I wake up
Another year is gone
You're one year old

I guess you wanna know
Why I'm near the com
It's been half a day or so
I know it's very late
But Happy Birthday

Yeah yeah whoa
I know you love me
Yeah yeah whoa
I'll go update you
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But Happy Birthday

So hard
When you're in the Net
It's lame but I had school exams
I think I'll make the same mistake
On your 2nd year

So now you know
Net, please don't disconnect!
Let me finish this song
I know it's way too late
But Happy Birthday

Yeah yeah whoa
I know you love me
Yeah yeah whoa
I'll go update you
Yeah yeah I know
I know it's kinda late
But Happy Birthday

Original song by: The Click Five

My blog is already 1 year and 6 months old.
I didn't notice it until today.
I wrote this at 1.30p.m so the 2nd stanza would be more logical.

Ken's Streak Goes On

On the way back from Mc Donald's yesterday after chatting with Yen Mei and reciting the Big Mac Chant, Ken again combined people to get something out of it. But this time, it was super.... literally. He combined super heroes from Marvel. You see, all super heroes, when they hang out together for a long time, a group will form and they go by the group's name. Example, X-men, The Avengers (Ironman, Captain America, Black Panther, Thor) or arguably the most famous one, Fantastic Four. Ken decided the present groups were disappointing, not to mention the name, so he was combining the superhero:

Thor
Odin's son, enemy of Loki. A God who controls lightning and stuff.

Storm
The X-men woman. Acted by Halle Berry. Control wind and lightning.

Spider-man
Aah... The person would be living in a jungle (no offence to OA) if he/she does not know this dude.

And lastly..........

Spider-woman

Aah...The person would be living in a city (no offence to city people) if he/she knows this dudette. A very quiet superhero, change 4 times already. Nothing to do with Spider-man.

So this is the group of super heroes. Like they say, with great groups, come catchy group names. My brother decided to name them.......

The Windy Spiders

Cool name don't you think? I wonder what else this little boy can think of... Wolverine, Black Panther, Storm, Thor... The Thunder Cats! Wait, name already taken.... Looks like it's harder than I thought!

The Hot Question

I suppose this year, a lot of people are tuning in on American Idol to see the contestants sing their lungs out. The contestants are considered the "Golden Ones", that is, they are all very well trained and the competition is the closest yet. Arguably, the most famous dude on the show right now is Big David. He's pretty much a Chris Daughtry type where he rocks a lot and is a hot favourite. The only difference is the hairstyle.

Chris Daughtry 1.0 with no hair


Chris Daughtry 2.0 with hair

My siblings are all crazy over him, even Ken. I bet Yen Mei's also more attracted to him than Little David. Now, the hot question on everyone's lips is.......

Can David cook?

I sincerely hope no David Cook fans will hold a grudge on me.
I'm just voicing out what the public wants to know.

Ken has good Maths

When we were changing the bed sheets, he showed his superb but controversial mathematical skills.

Ken: Kor! You and me plus together will get Tse Shuen jie jie!

Me: Izzit?

Ken: You Sh and I En... then become Shuen!

The 'U' is probably the sUm of us both I guess. He did not stop there, but came up with a few more.

Ken: Papa plus Mommy then will get Puppy! And then hor, Hwei plus Shuen.... you get When!

I wonder who's the great fella who taught him maths....

Due to Popular Demand

The Chosen One

It was a usual day in GBS, the walking to school (not literally from the hill of course), prayer meeting at teacher's room, lining up, and hearing Mr. Siew's lovely voice. He was scolding most of the monitors for not sitting in front and normally this would be the time where everyone shuts down. But he said a line which, I must say, was quite profound. Too profound for him in that matter, maybe he took it from a book. Anyway, he said something like this:

"You are monitors for a reason. I did not choose you, God did. Out of all the people in the world, you are the one sitting up front!"

Then he became himself again and continued his rant. But my mind was still pondering about his previous line. It sounds familiar. Wait, it is. I am a Christian, chosen by God, for a reason. Out of all the people in the world, I am one of the few being up front being the ambassador of God. There's this sentence that Hwei puts up on her MSN that came from this Indian speaker who talked about The Old Testament. Don't really know how to spell his name, so sorry! Anyway, the sentence is:

"We are ambassadors of Christ, live with that dignity."

Something like that. An ambassador is someone who represents his country and stays in another country. So whatever he does does reflect on his country, or some sort. Now, as a Christian, I do admit, that sometimes my behaviour does not reflect in God in a good way and I tend to be one who doesn't do anything, or simply not being up front. But the line coming from an unexpected person came as a knock on my head. Guess God works in miraculous ways. Nevertheless, I shall take it as my duty to go up front, share the gospel, and be a good ambassador of Christ. Yes, there may be troubles up ahead, but the thought of knowing someone is behind me and people beside me (that's you!) to help carry me when I stumble, push me when I need it is a comforting thought. I .... am the chosen one.

For which I am an ambassador in bonds that therein, I may speak boldly, as ought to speak.
Ephesians 6:20

Guess this post is a -1.0 shaun. A new measurement for seriousness?

'OA Once Again' Again!

Continuing where I left on the last OA post, we went to Tasik Bera after the 1st kampung. Sharma and Adrian created a new unit measurement for lame.... and credit goes to me for giving them the inspiration. Anyway, we went to Tasik Bera and sat on a motorboat seeing the lake. The dude driving the boat was a bit panicky because according to him, too many already on the boat and kept telling us not to move. As a result, we became like ghost statues, only moving our eyes. After the sight-seeing, we went to swim! It was really fun doing a lot of crazy stuff and Aaron was really scared that he might drowned, don't think he knows how to swim.

After the dip, we washed up and went to the other kampung at 7 or so. Shu Lynn was making a joke introducing Sharma something like:

"Abang ini kan, pada waktu malam, tak boleh nampak dia punya."

Sharma replied:

"They also black wei... racist against the whole kampung izzit?"

It was a good thing Shu Lynn didn't use it because they were in fact darker than Sharma. So the joke was dropped and we went to makan! Had to use hands and I wasn't really used to it. Aaron, on the other hand, was moving his hand so fast I felt slower than a snail. But fortunately, I wasn't the last so maybe I'm quite good at eating hands.... with hands.

We went to the church building, waited for the kids to come. I notice this particular kid who was about 7. Asked him for directions to the toilet (we have a toilet!), when I asked for his age, he said 1. Looking at his size, it was a bit unbelievable for him to be 1. Found out later he got mixed up between 'Tahun apa' and 'Umur apa'.

The songleading went smoothly and Sharma's game was rather interesting. We went on with our sketch and I must say, we did better this time, having a sword made out of newspaper instead of a tukul. It was a good thing that when Adrian asked what David used to chop off Goliath's head, they didn't answer 'surat khabar!'

After that, we distributed toys to them and played with them a bit. The toys were kinda fascinating and there was this particular toy that I wished I could bring back. Don't know how to explain the toy, but then Adrian could do very well in it. The main objective is for the 2 round things to hit one another. Something like that. Only Physics students can do according to Adrian, so accountants,management students, lawyers and others, don't bother trying.

I think Hwei explained what we did next after that so I shall not elaborate further. Just wanted to point out that I was touched by Shu Lynn's testimonial. Sharing so much about oneself and finishing it, she really deserved credit for it. Adrian's testimonial was also good, really showed a big change in his life. So good job guys! So, that's about all, wanna read more go check Mau's blog, Hwei's or MGC blog (MGC goes hi-tech!).

OA Once Again!

Mind you OA does not mean Once Again but rather Orang Asli! It's the 4th trip I've been to so I'm one of the more experienced ones there, knowing what to expect and expecting the worst. Here's a list of those who went:

Adrian - 1st time

Sharma - 1st time

Aaron - 1st time too I think.

Me - 4th time.

Big sis - 3rd time.

2nd sis - 3rd time.

Shu Lynn - 1st time.

Unc Rod - Plenty of times!

I think those who went before knows what it feels like walking in the jungle, sleeping on those bamboo stuff that ineffectively massages your back painfully, etc, etc. The 1st timers probably didn't expect these and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and plenty timers kinda scared them by saying these stuff.

Anyway, the starting of the journey was a bit messy. We had a lot of stuff to bring and we used up every space available to put the bags and gifts for the kids. The best part was, we were so glad that we managed to squeeze everything inside Unc Rod's Unser that we completely forgot about the props for the Sunday School! To top it up, we left at 8.30, 30 minutes later than planned.

It was 2 hours into the journey that we realised the props weren't with us. We went to Tesco's enemy, Econsave to buy impromptu props like toy hammers as Goliath's swords, ping pong balls for David's pebbles. The girls AND Adrian went to buy Card boards for the memory verses thingy. Unc R and Aaron went to buy biscuits and drinks to have fellowship with the kampung kids later on.

We continued our ride and after meeting Unc Charles, we went into this very very white van that doesn't look dirty at all. Everyone present in the car agrees that he drives like Kimi Raikkonen himself, moving so fast that everything just flashed past us. The condition of the roads was very very bad and there were a lot of holes but we miraculously managed to pull through the trip!

Once we reached there, we went into the room where the kids were waiting and sitting down so QUIETLY and NICELY that we did not have to chase them around asking them to sit down unlike some other poor youths ;) . Anyway, I accompanied Shu Lynn in her song leading while Unc R played the guitar. The singing session was done quite good and we introduced ourselves as:

Shu Lynn: Kakak Lynn. (nickname: Shulynni or something)

Me: Shaun but they call me Saun. (nickname: Already have one)

Big Sis: Kakak Susu. (nickname: Shueni)

2nd sis: Kakak Hwei. (nickname: Say Tse and Hwei fast fast and you get 'Suey' = Malang)

Sharma: Abang Sharm. (nickname: Sharmani or Armani)

Adrian: Abang Mau. (nickname: Mawi!)

Aaron: Abang Aaron. (nickname: Aaroni)

Unc R: Pak Cik Rodney. (nickname: Don't have)

We taught the kids how to make hats and did the sketch. It was done faster than expected and the kids weren't as responsive as we had hoped. Anyway, the acting was a bit weird but then we managed to pull through. Remember that the props were toy hammer as Goliath's sword and ping pong balls as David's pebbles. 2nd sis explained the story and she asked 3 questions:

1. Siapakah orang yang melakonkan Goliat? (Goliat is Goliath in Malay)

2. Apakah yang digunakan oleh Daud untuk bunuh Goliat? (Daud is David in Malay)

3. Apakah yang digunakan oleh Daud untuk pancung kepala Goliat?

Right answer should be:

1. Sharma.

2. Batu.

3. Pedang.

They answered:

1. Goliat! Goliat!

2. Bom!

3. Tukul.

We were laughing when we heard the answers! We as actors failed to the lowest point wei!! Anyway, after explaining to them, we went on to the memory verses. The technique was very interesting and though it was a big long for kids, some of them managed to recite all of it and credit goes to them! We couldn't hang around for this kampung because we had another one so after finishing the class, we packed our stuff, talked a bit and left for our next destination. Will talk more about it next time, or not the readers would be sleeping by now. Pictures will also be up for the next post!

Updates

It's been a week after that thing...... I still can't believe it.

The Cute Guy with Mangkuk Hair

-Geez... I think I speak for everyone when I say it was a crazy Wednesday. As all of you have known, my self-hired-architect-sister went to apply me for Flirty@10.30. I was like NOOOOO!!!! and she asked me to relax because the description was too short to be even looked at. Hmm, I beg to differ. People tend to look at descriptions that are shorter so that they don't have to read so much. We are Malaysians after all.

Anyway, the application thing was soon forgotten that day because of my debate things. In case you wanna know, I got second but that doesn't seem to really matter because of The Big Thing right? Continuing, I got back telling my sis-who-might-want-to-become-a-flirty-consultant-now about the mistakes I made in debate and stuff. Unknowingly, I had two phone calls from this KL number. I was like, "What the?" and the-great-sis was jokingly (yes, she can joke) claiming that it was The Big Thing.

I went to check the website and the number was almost identical, but not the same. So, I was telling her that it wasn't The Big Thing. As soon as I said that, the number called again and I picked it up. It went like this:

Me: Hello?

??: Is this Lim Tse Shaun?

Me: Err... ya.

??: This is Jules and Prem from Flyfm and you are chosen for the Flirty@10.30!

Me: (Geez...of all days to be 'lucky') Err...wait a while.

I hung up immediately. That seemed the most logical thing to do at that time. Imagine two DJ's that you listen to on the radio every time calling you. I used the limited time I had to tell the-now-laughing-sis about the whole thing and she screamed in laughter.... literally. I felt a few of glass crack but it was not important. The important thing was the reply. The-great-sis-who-broke-a-few-glasses encouraged me to play along. They soon called again:

JNP: Hello Shaun?

Me: Err...ya.

JNP: Is this Shaun?

Me: This is me (grammar pun hancur).

JNP: Eh, why you hang up just now?

Me: Oooh... Sorry sorry. I was too excited.

JNP: Wah, like this wan ar?

They soon requested to call my house because the line wasn't that good. Architect and Ken was already laughing from ear to ear.... not smiling, laughing. After 5 seconds, the house phone rang and I went to my room to pick it up.

JNP: Hello, may I speak to Shaun please? (Shouldn't it be we instead of I?)

Me: Ya, this is me.

JNP: Listen, we received you application about this girl Michelle that you like. Care sharing with us about her?

Me: Well, I met her in church, known her for 7 years.

JNP: Are you close with her?

Me: Err.... ya quite close gua.

JNP: How close? You talk to her everyday? Call her and go out with her and stuff?

Geez.... Never did any of those. Reasons:

1. She doesn't have a hand phone (She's only 7 for goodiness sake!).

2. I'll get slapped by my parents and Unc Tony if I asked her out!

3. The only time I talk to her is on Sunday because that's the ONLY time I meet her.

Me: Not really, just meet in church then talk to her loh.

They were stunned after that reply. It's like not even close leh!

JNP: Err.... that's all ar?

Me: Yup.

JNP: Okay, describe about yourself. Your appearance, height, fashion and stuff.

Me: Well, I have eyes, don't wear glasses, don't really go for fashion actually.

Prem: So you don't wear any clothes?

Me: NONO!

Jules: Aiyo, stop disturbing this poor guy already la!

JNP: Anything else about yourself?

Me: (It was difficult to describe myself.... I mean, what else wanna talk about? I'm in The Better School?) I'm cute!

JNP: (Stunned for a moment)... HAHAHHA, other than that? Come on, maybe got other guys who are cute also. Talk bout your appearance, your hair....

Me: (Thought about the hair) I have mangkuk hair?

Both of them were laughing really hard already and told me Q and A was over. Wanted to get Michelle's number but I dunno wanna give who's. The-still-laughing-sis also take my hand phone somewhere. I had to cover up, and this was the best:

Me: Can I call you back later? Phone not with me now?

JNP: Why, what's wrong?

Me: Oh well, my sis took my phone.

JNP: Ooh... can you go and get it from here now?

Me: Err.. Nope. I'll call you back later, can?

JNP: It's okay, we'll wait. Go get your sis.

Me: Cannot la. Later I call la.

JNP: Why your sis take your hand phone?

Me: Don't know. I think she's excited.

JNP: Wah, like that also excited?

Me: Our whole family gets excited easily!

JNP: How big is your house anyway? Like playboy mansion? (They were laughing already, like kinda proud of the joke)

Me: Nah... Bigger.

JNP: (Clearly not expecting that one coming) Hahaha... Good one! We'll call you back later!

Just as they hung up, the-great-sis came back.

She updated me about what to say and who's number to give:

Chen Li.

The name shocked me. It was like horror to my ears. I'm going to ask her out on a date? Chen Li, let's be nuns together!

After a few minutes:

Prem: Hello, ini Pizza Hut!

Me: Oh, hello!

Prem: Kau ada order pizza kan?

Me: Tak ada.

Prem: Apa address kamu?

Me: Tak tau woh.

(Says my house address perfectly)

Me: Sudah tau kenapa tanya lagi ar?

Prem: Haha... Kau nak berapa pizza?

Me: 3 cukup. (Was thinking of my family... the usual amount that we consume)

Prem: Boleh, nak pizza apa?

Me: Ooh, Hawaiian.

Prem: Maaf, sini Malaysia bukan Hawaii.

Me: Macam tu saya tak mau lagi lah.

Prem: (Loss of words) You know who I am already right?

Me: Ya, of course.

It feels like a proud thing to be able to talk to DJ's and make them don't know what to say!

Gave the number and then called Chen Li. Then all those stuff happen. Go to Chen's for more details about their conversation with her. By the way, her line that prompted me to come out and ask her on a date really killed me.

Well, that's about all. It's shocking that such a long conversation became a 5-minute thing. My friends bombarded me with messages saying things like, "OMGosh!! It's true!" and "Shaun, you're so brave!". Again, it's the architect's idea all along. It feels like I'm Phua Chu Beng, being 'ordered' around in a funny way. Guess my sisters aren't that dull anyway (I'm gonna get slaughtered by them if they read this).

When I went to school, friends who heard The Big Thing waved and shouted at me, "Hey, Mangkuk Hairstyle!" Any 'cool' image confirm evaporated after the 'Mangkuk' thing.... and to think the whole country heard that! Anyway, like Chen said, it really was a lifetime experience. Feels weird listening to yourself on the radio. So.... 'Gotcha Call' anyone?

Sean, Shawn, Shaun

3 different spellings, same pronunciation. Mom named me Shaun because she felt it would be difficult for others to pronounce should I be named Sean or Shawn. Sean might be pronounced See An and Shawn... well.. Shaw N? Shaun seemed the easiest but she was mistaken as I ended up being called Shound. Although some managed to pronounce my name correctly, the spelling may differ. According to my sis, a number of people have spelled my name Sean instead of Shaun.

Wanna know why?

Because all of us went through Form 2, and we all went through English, and we all went through the heroics of a hero in English Literature Potato People. That hero killed the bad dude and gave Patrick money. Who is that guy and what is his name? Sean. From the literature, you're able to draft out a few reasons why people spell my name Sean already:

1. Mom named me after that hero.

2. They only came across this type of spelling.

3. They are lazy and prefer to write 4 letters instead of 5.

When Schools Follow Weird Quotes

"It's better to be a has been than a never was"

Hmm.... when I first saw this quote, I was frowning. "How the heck did this quote get so famous?" My first impression of the quote was like you're trying to console yourself by saying, "Hey dude, it's okay! At least you were a has been!" Turned out sis' explanation was like bombarding another person by claiming he/she was never what you accomplished. Probably GBS noted this quote when they had to think of a motto for the school. They're not practically "The Better School" and the grammar is already wrong in the motto. "How can you be better than the best?" was Hwei's reason for the bad grammar. They might be the better school last time but certainly not now. Hence, the quote! Perhaps the better quote should be,

"It's better to be a still is rather than a has been"

Now all I have to do is hope some famous dude look at my blog and popularize this quote.

Lame Stuff

Just thought about it during Sports Day.. I'm gonna borrow Hwei's name even though I don't have the copyright :) .

Me: Hwei, you're a liar.

Hwei: Har?

Me: The moment you say you are pretty, then you're lying.

Hwei: (With the -_- look) But I didn't say I'm pretty woh.

Me: Tau pun.

Warning: Never use this on your boyfriend/girlfriend. The chances of losing him/her is very high.

More reasons why we should learn English

It was during Physics class and the teacher wasn't very fluent in her English. She likes to put 'S' at places you shouldn't put and it is really obvious she needs English classes.

Example one: She told us, "If you late pass up your book, then I'll chop you leg" Wow.....chop my leg if I pass up late? Turned out she meant 'late' instead of 'leg' and she continued, "If pass up late some more, then I'll chop both you leg".. I think she wasn't joking at all eh?

Example two: She was giving us a Chinese proverb that meant something like do not look at someone's outward appearance only, because the person might be talking bad about you at the back so look at both sides. It was alright and stuff, but when she translated it to English, it was, "When you look at people, must look at people's backside". Oh my, I couldn't keep my mouth closed after that statement, literally. It became the phrase of the day for me after that, looking at people's backside! Anyway, not sure what other interesting words she gonna come up with... Physics as Psychic? Nononono, I meant sai-chick.

Happy CNY!

We've all been waiting for this- the day where it's not wrong to go out becoming a parasite to every family. It's Chinese New Year! Anyway, any resolutions for CNY? We have resolutions for the 1st new year but normally CNY we normally have targets at getting the most ang pau rather than improving ourselves and stuff but hey, CNY improves us financially right? So the 1st new year is to improve ourselves physically and mentally while the 2nd one is for financial purposes. Whoever planned it is really really good! Anyway, happy CNY to all of you out there! Be sure to share your money with me!

What is mine is not yours, but what is yours is mine.

LG Squared

Geez, it's been long since I updated this blog. Form 4 life isn't as easy going as most people told me. Anyway, my English teacher gave us a passage about this girl who grew up listening to her mom's advise. I personally felt the passage was good, and then very good when the mom gave another advise, 'Let go, and let God'. To me, it was like 'wow, that's so true!' We as christians really have a God who guides us and bears our trouble if we let Him. My friend who was sitting beside me could not understand the meaning of the advise because his relationship with his God isn't anywhere near our relationship with the God who sent His son to die on the cross for us! I explained to him the meaning and he went, "got like this wan meh?" How blessed we are to have a God who listens to us and have a Father-Son relationship rather than a God-Human relationship and yet sometimes we abuse this privilege. Nevertheless, He's still there to help guide us when we're weary and keeps us going throughout the day! Other people do not share the same privilege with us where God carries them up when they fall or takes away their pain so always proud to have a great God. So every time you feel down or depressed, keep your head up, Let go and Let God.

Finding a Pemimpin.....or an ex.

This week during Siviks, teacher wanted us to form a group or solo to do a folio about a pemimpin. For those who don't know what Siviks is, the government thought that the generation these days got no manners and learning moral wasn't enough to be morally upright so they decided to burden the poor students with Siviks. It's something like Moral but then I personally feel it's more difficult because you have to memorize all the Sultans from around the states and stuff. Don't ask me how by memorizing the Sultans' names can we be morally upright. Anyway, back to the topic. The teacher asked us to do a folio about any leader in Malaysia. The normal reaction to the question would be of course doing on the Independance Dad, Tunku Abdul Rahman,


or Tun Abdul Razak the Builder,


or the Unity Dad Tun Hussein Onn,


or last but not least, the Modern Dad Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad.


Let's not talk about Badawi yet since he's a kinda like a new guy and stuff. Continuing the subject, these four greats are whom people look up to and majority of the students would do a folio based on one of these four. But my new group kinda took a new turn, a very new one indeed. Instead of doing on these four, let us leave them alone for once and focus on our ex Health Minister, Chua Soi Lek! Well, he's the new talk on everyone's lips these days due to the 'scandalism' he did. I don't think the students or teacher thought of this and we would surely be given marks on creativity for sure! For those who don't know who Chua Soi Lek is, he was a former health minister of Malaysia as well as MCA vice- president. Go google to find out more information on him. Anyway, I think it's easy to find many infomations bout him, from newspaper cuttings to the Internet, it seems as though Malaysia = Chua Soi lek! I've already confirmed with the teacher as well, ANY pemimpin, whether he has done right or wrong to the country. Hehehe...this should be fun.

Hehehehe
