My Birthday...

Has passed. Will be waiting for another year for the special day. Hopefully by next year prices of PSP and PS3 will drop considerably low and people will buy them as my birthday. Nah, I'm happy with my PS2. Anyway, it was fun celebrating it with the Vines, CK (Calvin Klien attended my birthday!), and my whole family. It's a first seeing the cake sliced up and served until there were just 2 or 3 slices left.

Wanna thank those who gave me the presents. I got RM150 from Sis and CK. Now my camp fees are already settled! Yay! I also got a Man. United T-shirt by Sis 2. Great thing about the shirt is that it has no name on its back and it looks SO original. Click here for details. I don't really like t-shirts with names because they play super hebat but I play... hebat only. I also got a very thick book by Sis 2. It's on David Beckham. Before people start pointing fingers, the book's not about his modeling life and the numerous advertisements he has done. It's about his footballing career from his childhood up to his time at Real Madrid. It's an absolutely masculine book! The book contains his 32 years in it... So I guess I might need 32 years to finish it. I also got some flowery stuff that will move when exposed to sunlight. It kinda nods and nods so I like it very much.

Me: Am I handsome?

Flowery stuff: Nods and nods.

Me: I'm not perasan right?

Flowery stuff: Nods and nods.

That's all. I really like it. Thanks for those who bought me presents and those who remembered and wished me. Just wishing me would be great already so thanks!

It's Funny...

How this is going. H1N1 cases on the rise and schools getting closed down for only a week. Cannot! Schools need to be closed down for at least a month to ensure those who are infected are healed! I suggest that working parents should be given a month's holiday as well! You see, there are 3 simple problems. I've even provided pictures to better illustrate the problems.

1. Infected students at home will infect their parents.

2. The infected parents will infect their colleagues,


3. And the infected colleagues will infect their non-infected children, who are students!


It's obvious that in the end everyone will get infect. So, like the solution proposed earlier,

Students holiday, adults (except doctors) holiday! Everybody stay home spend happy, quality, quantity family time!

My blog might start having a
group of adults following it now :D

I got 3rd...

In the 13th National Postal Quiz. Something like that, or was it Bible Quiz? Anyway, it's about the book of Luke and Acts. I participated in the team category, so I had a partner, and her name is Kay Lyn. She is superb. To be honest, I went there without any intention of winning anything. Just thought it would be good exposure. Problem is, when you have a partner as mine, you will go far. That's what happened. First round was 40 objective questions, answered by the each partner then totaled up. Out of 80, we got like 71. Haha, after the first round, we were talking about the questions and I got wrong almost all the questions we discussed. I think she covered up for me.. Ahh, what blessings.

Went to second round. 10 questions, each 4 marks and able to discuss (I so love this word). Got the first 2 questions wrong. Question was on what book was the part about Elisha healing Naaman and David asking for the consecrated bread. I got the books wrong. Instead of 2nd Kings and 1st Samuel, I wrote 1st Kings and 2nd Samuel. Kinda confidently told KL I knew some more. Then wrong. Bahhh. The next 8 questions she knew all of them while I wasn't so sure. The only thing I did was write the answers down on a piece of A4 paper. I even had time to write nicely. Told others I was just the writer while KL was the brain. I was her hands, and she was my brain. With her brain, we got 30 out of 40. With my hand, the invigilators could read the clear-without difficulty in seeing-neat answers and award the marks. We work well together.

With those marks, we progressed to the semi-final. Here she said her brain was tired already at listening intently to the questions and didn't want to go on. Cis, you think only, I write, more tiring. ANYWAY, this round was a no discussing round. There will be 3 questions on Luke and another 3 on Acts and only 1 set may be taken by only one partner. KL said she was more comfortable with Acts so I gladly gave it to her. The questions on Luke were easy thanks to BK teacher's question-spotting skills. Got 13/15. Then when it came to Acts, I was so glad I didn't do it. I didn't know how to do most of the questions and though partner only got 8/15, I think I would have done worse and gotten only... Acts?

The total was 21 marks and we technically barely made it to the final. Highest was 22, while those with 20 had a tiebreaker to decide who went into the final. Looking at the scoreboard, we couldn't believe we made it that far. BK teacher was telling us at the start of the semi-final,

"You're already good if you make it to the semi-final. If you make it to the final, it's a miracle!"

May not be entirely correct, but that was what she implied. Then the SFI boys and ST. David boy were like more happy than us. Johannan (The St. David boy) was like, "Make Malacca proud man!" At that point of time, I understood what heroes meant when they said the world was on their shoulders. Mine was a small state, but it still heavy. I kept asking KL how the heck did we make it to the final and I blamed her for being too good. Haha, she really did awesome that day. I was spectacular. Just to make it clear, Spectacular < Awesome.

We got third in the final. Didn't really care about the results. Was just happy it was over and could finally go back home. Malaccan peeps were really encouraging. Thanks a bunch! Stopped by at a place for lunch. Had a very, very small portion of chicken rice. Bet it was expensive, but it was good though. Had some chocolate cakes as well. Went back home tired and missed the music practice for Sunday's led worship. Practice was at 4, quiz supposed to end at 12.30, but it ended at 2 and we started going back at 2.30 I think. So sorry, Frederick! I promise next time when you song lead for Youth then I'll play for you. If your name is not on the list, then ask Sharma or someone to put you in charge on one Saturday then can already, okie?

Day 3/4 and...

A load of other stuff. Was really busy, and kinda lazy to blog when time was given. Day 3 of DMSJ (In case anyone forgets what Day 3 is about) was fun. The first day of quiet time... with the kids. For those who don't know what 'ironic' is, that's an example. Quiet time with kids when kids are no where near quiet.

I tried to prepare the things the day before. Of course I couldn't because the lights were off and I tried waiting with Clement for the kids to sleep but we waited and waited until we waited in our sleep. We were talking about what 'ye he hwa' was in english. Don't know whether pin yin right or not, but it means Jehovah. We didn't know, and we asked Andrew (The guy who reminds me of Shin Chan) what it meant. He answered, "'Ye' is coconut, 'hwa' is flower, so 'ye he hwa' means 'coconut and flower'. It was so darn funny. Not making fun of him for not being able to speak chinese, but the translation was just superb.

The quiet time went well without as much noise as I expected. Had Bingo Bash in the afternoon. It was creative. Never played it like this before. Normally when people mention bingo, I imagine a smoky room due to the cigarettes and crowded. Somehow SU's touch made the bingo feel very Christian and clean. Haha, well done! Had this activity by Sieh Jin about 5 ways to take the Word of God. Had to pair up with another one for every mini-game and if you loss, your partner would have to write the way on your finger. I'm a guy who cannot tahan outside dirty wan, so I tried my very best to keep myself clean. I won all the mini-games. Well done Shaun!

At night we had a Fun Nite. The whole thing was very well thought of. Didn't expect the king to be so hated until got people wanna assasinate and my dad was an advisor to the king. It was fun!

Not much happenings in Day 4. It was kinda little until Hwei's post (which normally makes you scroll all the way down) also kinda short. Anyway, it was kinda a happy and sad feeling. I was happy because it was holiday and I could go back and play PS2 while sad because I just managed to get closer to the other church members, especially my dorm mates. I used to look at Edwin Tay as the dude who looked way beyond his age, his brother Kelvin as a super tall dude, Clement as Spock (from Star Trek), and Andrew as a dude with much hormones. But then after the camp, I really got to know each of them better and it wasn't a Hi-Bye thing anymore. So yeah, for me, the camp's purpose was accomplished: To reach unity among the 4 churches. Well done to SAGC for organising and thank God it was a success.

Well, the load of other stuff would be these 2 jokes spontaneously made by my fellow classmates during Bible Knowledge. Form 4 dudes/dudettes, please take it. It's good for understanding of Luke and Acts. You'll love God more too, which is good!

Joke #1

Referring to the part where Jesus ordered the legion of demons into the large herd of pigs.

Teacher: Now, why do you think Jesus did that?

Student: Because of swine flu.

Joke #2

Referring to the part where Jesus gave His disciples a promise before going up to Heaven.

Teacher: What was the promise Jesus gave His disciples?

Student: I'll be back.

Day 2...

Of DMSJ! For those who do not know, my apologies. DMSJ is a quiz held every year between 4 churches, that is Daya (Johor), Melaka, Shah Alam and Johor again. Because this year would be the 10th year of the quiz, we decided to have a camp. There you go for introduction. Perfect summary of 10 years. 15/15 marks. Well done, Shaun!

We had a baptism ceremony in the morning. It was my first witnessing a baptism ceremony held at the sea. 5 candidates being baptised, and I knew none of them. If only it was done at the 4th day or I had taken the initiative to know them for the previous DMSJ's, then personally it would have been a happier experience watching them. I did not know them, and therefore I can't help but feel I couldn't really share in their happy moment. I was happy for them, but could have been happier. Sorry there.

Anyway, congratulations to those salty ones baptised in the salty sea. Had morning worship after that and Unc Jason Fong shared his first sermon. Felt it was good and funny and applicable. I've heard him speak about 3 times already before the camp, but his 3 days sermons were really good! It was also fun to meet Siehjin (the guy singing in my cbox) and Christina. They came to our youth before to share about not being complacent. I shall not type more about that. We only absorb 20% of what we hear. That was 20%!

Yaya, we had workshops! I attended the 1st two on '7 reasons why the Bible is true' and the one on the Old and New Testament, so I chose the CSI: Philemon instead. Watching too much CSI, I thought Unc Jason would bring out a body and teach us how to inspect the body. But nah, he took out the bible, turned to Philemon, and taught us how to inspect that particular book. It was done very detailedly and he literally left no words unturned. Philemon became nomelihP.

Had Survivor Game in the afternoon. We discovered that Jun Yi was Keanu Reeves and could do those 'bend your back 90 degrees' stunts. Expected more games, but there was only one. To be honest, I was disappointed a bit, but then we ended up playing football on the beach so it was good in the end; Those that preferred sleeping slept, and those that preferred playing played!

That's all!

This is...

Blog post 100! Anyway, it's been long since I updated this blog. I think the last time I posted a post was when Najib was still Deputy Prime Minister. I was busy with stuff, then lazy with stuff. I could have updated it during the holidays but then my sister was using it very often and I did not want the PS2 to be left out. Something had to be sacrificed, and so the blog was.

Firstly, DMSJ camp was fun. I was not expecting anything big or superb about this camp initially. Throughout the years of DMSJ, I only know a few of every church and the thought of being with only one or two MGC-ians in a group with 11 people was kinda scary. The most dreadful part of the camp was of course the DMSJ quiz. Did not touch chapter 1 of Colossians at ALL.

I was wrong about the camp.

We were all wrong.

It was a bit scary for the 1st day, but then it gradually became alright, then fun. The quiz was not scary and dreadful at all (I even sat there counting time for my dad for the last few questions). It wasn't that bad to be number 2 actually. Roger Federer is World No. 2. Lin Dan is World No.2. Man United got no. 2 in the final. The list goes on. Anyway, like I predicted, the dorm where I slept was mainly filled by SAGC people, then Daya and lastly, Yik How and me. I thought I was gonna get ragging or something, but then it was not to be because I slept with a lot of kids. After the quiz, I got to find out I was dorm leader over all the kids.

It was an interesting concept, where you share with your leader what you learned about the day's sermon and stuff. It was a tough 3 days for me because kids are naturally hard to control and to ask them what they thought about the sermon was like asking an adult what he thought about Powerpuff Girls. The age gap was toooooooo big. These were kids ranging from standard 2 to Standard 6. With God's help though, I managed to pull it through. We talked about how high their sand-castles were, how many seashells they collected, how salty the seawater was, etc, etc. Nola, we did talk about the sermons. It was impressive that they could remember what they heard and all the more hebat when they listened! When I was in Standard 6, I was only listening to the total money in the offering bag (it was the only announcement I listened to).

Oh ya, any SAGC member reading this, please tell Joshua I said thanks ya. When I was having a sore throat and asking the kids if they had any prayer items, he requested to pray that I get well. It was very touching. For those who don't know, Joshua is the small kid sacrificed for eating the sacrifice. I think I shall stop here. I care about you. I don't want you to get tired in reading this blog and checking twice if the blog was actually www.musiquemer.blogspot.com or www.frozenstrawberry86.blogspot.com. I'll be backlogging for the next few days and try to be updated.

P.S: The 'you' refers to my eyes.

It was...

Amazing. My hand moved by itself today during Bio exam.
