Lim's 17th Birthday

It is the 15th of January....
Its just one day before Lim's actual birthday...
He has invited some of us, his friends over to his house to celebrate his birthday....
I left my home together with Alex as soon as he came by....
We got there at around 5 o'clock ....
The house was kinda big....
It was a big single-story house....
We entered with the ingredients to make cocktails....
As soon as we enter, we headed for the kitchen to put the stuff into the fridge....
Philip had arrived there earlier than us...
As usual, I like to tour around the house of people when I go there for the first time...
We entered Lim's room (when he said not to) and put our bags in there....
After successfully putting the things into the fridge when there was no space in it, we decided to try out some cocktails.....
Alex made a 'Flaming Cow' for us to try....
While that was being done, Philip and me were having shots of whiskey, vodka, and whatever was there...
Only two shots of the Flaming Cow was made....
It was the first time I took anything stronger than red wine....
The same goes to Philip and Lim....
Alex is used to it so what can I say... He is the DON!!!
And so we tried the Flaming Cow....
Alex showed me an example of how to take it first and he showed an extremely crazy reaction....
It was freaking hot that he jumped around...
Then it was my turn to try....
I blew the flames off the top of the layer of whiskey...
The moment I tried to take it, I burn my lips as it was seriously hot...
It was like drinking water as soon as it boil...
But without much hesitation I took the whole thing in a shot and boy was it nice...
The experience was awesome...
You can feel the burn down your throat all the way to the stomach and then the milk cools it off....
Next, Alex decided to make this cocktail that uses orange...
I've forgotten what it was called....
This is a picture of it....







After making it, he gave a glass to Lim and one for himself...
Philip and me shared one by splitting it into our shot glasses....
Well, I think we took too much of alcohol and chocolate so early on the day....
Philip, Alex and me somehow had a sugar rush I think.... Haha XD
While Lim was slowly enjoying his 'orange cocktail' , we entered his room to choose some songs from his laptop for the party....
At around 6.30, Lim decided to take a shower to prepare for the party....
There was this drawer of his in the cupboard that he does not want us to open so he locked it....
I was somehow curious what was in it, but I could not open it...
All of a sudden the clothes in his cupboard caught my attention....
I browse through his cupboard and found two nice clothings...
One was his piano clothes and the other was a traditional chinese clothes for man...
I showed it to Philip and Alex and they decided to put it on for the party >.<
Hehe....





When Lim came back he was in a shock to see them wearing his clothes....





Then we decided to use some hair gel to spike up our hair....
We entered Lim's father room and used the gel there....
Not long after the guest started to arrive.....
We said the theme of clothing was to wear Lim's clothes....
And all the guys came one by one to try out his clothes.... LOL!!!
His shirt all got dirty thanks to us XD....
By 8 o'clock, everyone had arrived and we went out to barbeque our dinner....
Lim's dad had already prepared the barbeque pit while we were all having a chat inside....
There was chicken, hotdog, corn, otak-otak, crab....
But there was one problem...
The pit they have does not use the wire type....
It was using the iron bars so it was kinda big for us to barbeque it properly...
So we decided to use a frying pan... haha....
First time ever have you heard people barbeque with a frying pan....




Everyone was outside chit chatting and eating....
I was doing the barbeque and I sweat like hell because of the heat....
Soon after, we went in....
It showed 9.30 on the clock and it was time to blow Lim's birthday cake....
We had fun even just to sing a birthday song....
We even sang it in Malay because we do not know how to sing it in chinese of tamil....
Haha.... Then we asked Lim to do a certain birthday tradition which he does not know about....
Feeding the cherry to the people who are dear to him....
He gave one to his dad, his brother, Leng May (his girlfriend XD) and Alex....
After that, we ate some cake and we continue with our chit chat all around the house...
Some in his room, some at the living room.....
Loi was already high that time....
He was acting strange because earlier he had drank too much.....
It was kinda scary to see someone like that.... I'm not gonna say much about it but seriously it was not fun to see someone like that.... He even cried later on....
Leng May and Wendy was in the room at one time....
They were watching a video and some of us came in to watch....
It seemed like a horror at first but it was a freaking hilarious video.... You have got to watch it....
It's called the Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon by Richard Gale...
This is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDvgL58h_Y
Somewhere around 11+ ,  some of us were gathered at the dining table to have a private talk....
It was Alex, Jason Too, Philip, Daryl, Harish and me....
When it was almost around 12, we opened the red wine that Lim's dad gave us to chill earlier...
It was strong and nice wine...\
Alex mixed it using his bartending knowledge and it was delicious...
I do not want to mention the things he mix it with to keep his secret XD....
While drinking my dad came and I had no choice but to down my red wine... (Haiz... cannot enjoy it >.<)
Well we had lots of fun....
I did not take much photos though but there were a few....
One of which were Harish and Philip camwhoring....






I really enjoyed myself that day....
Lim is gonna invite us over again for Chinese New Year and I'm really looking forward to it...

Precious memories and belongings / Have faith in God

Have you ever gone through something so memorable that you never want to forget about it....
Having precious stuffs like what you kept from that precious time, photos and all....
Or like in a wedding, a wedding ring....
Or something to remind you of your first kiss....
Well I know I do....
It was that yellow file, not just any ordinary file but the file which I got during my study day and confirmation camp....
But what made that file so precious???
Well, it was what I left inside of it... Not the file....
Inside my file was all the stuffs I kept from my confirmation camp....
But the most precious ones were the affirmation notes left by my dear friends and that small yellow book which was signed by them as well....
But why am I talking about this all of a sudden???
Well, it is because something happened to me yesterday and it wasn't something to be happy about....

Like any ordinary school day, I would be packing my bag around the night after relaxing after school and doing what needs to be done, like around 9pm....
So I did....
I wanted to play around with my sword model of Cloud from the movie Final Fantasy Advent Children which I got for Christmas that night...
While I was packing my bag, I took out my school file to clear it of papers and things I don't need inside of it..
And so I took out all the certificates I got from school in there...
I needed to use it for my Moral folio (which I'm still working on) so I decided to keep it on the cabinet along with my school books...
But I didn't want it to get bent so I looked for a file to keep it in....
Then I saw a pink file.... What was that you ask???
Well it is my file from the media camp....
I don't know why but the moment I saw that file the first thing that came into my mind was....
"Where is my confirmation camp file?? "
So I went around my house to search for it....
I recalled leaving it on my computer desk but after my dad spring cleaned the house for Christmas, everything has moved around....
I had already realised that I lost my song list but now I just realised that I am unable to find my confirmation camp file....
That file had lots of memories and was precious to me as I have explained....
So I went all around the house, high and low....
I asked my brothers and my mother where it was... But still I could not find it....
Then my mum asked me "What is that so precious you looking for?? "
It snapped to me.... If it was so precious, why didn't I take good care of it??  I could have kept it somewhere I can find easily....
I was devastated...
I took sat on a chair with half a bottle of Sprite all alone in despair....
I thought I had lost it....
I feared that it was thrown along with the other stuffs my mother thrown away while my dad spring cleaned the house....
I laid down on the floor of my computer room...
My brother saw me and ask "Are you crying? " .... I said "No" ...
My dad saw me and said "If you tired go to sleep, you look so tired" ....
I wasn't tired but still I went up to go to sleep....
After washing up and everything, I turned off the lights and laid down on my bed thinking....
At first I was angry that my dad spring cleaned the house and made me lost quite a number of stuff....
But then I realised that it really was my fault....
As I was lying on my bed, I said a prayer....
I thanked God with a sincere heart for everything and I prayed....
While I was praying tears shed down my eyes just thinking how blest I really am with everything and of thought of losing my file which I realised was very very precious to me...
I said my prayer something like this....
"   I thank you God for another day of my life...
                                   for my caring father...
                                   for my loving mother....
                                   for my brothers...
                                   for my friends whom I love so much...
                                   for all that you have given me....
   I am glad that you give me everything....
   You always search for me and I love you God....
    But please I ask you, to help me find my file...
   Please don't let it be lost.... It's very precious to me....          "
( The actual prayer I said was a bit longer than this but I can't remember it so well because I was crying very sadly that time)

I had full of faith that God will hear me...
Its almost like I shouted out to God with my heart...
And all of a sudden my stairs light when on as soon as I was about to finish my prayer...
My brother came up and he said to me... " I found your file already.It was on the black cupboard. I suddenly remember it. Maybe your song list is in there also. "
When I heard that I was so happy, but I was closing my eyes to hide the fact from my brother that I was crying...
And I said "Just put it on my desk "
He did so and went down...
I was so happy...
I woke up, went to wash my face and opened that file to look at all the things inside...

And I realised....
God was listening to my prayer....
I think he heard me calling out to him...
But in his mysterious way, he did not let me find it, but instead he helped my brother to remember where the file was kept....
So I believe that if you pray, truly with a very sincere heart, God will answer your prayer...
Besides that, I learnt on that night that you should take very good care of things which are very precious to you...
Yes, friendship is not measured by material stuff, but I am a person who likes to keep memories of all the good times.....
So I keep very dearly what I have shared and experience with my beloved friends....
So all my dear readers out there...
If so you have anything very precious to you, I ask of you to take very good care of it....
And remember, something precious can also mean friendship and love....
Till next time readers.....
Don't forget.... >.<

First Day of school

Hello readers.....
Ahhh... Its already been 6 weeks since school ended....
Wow!!! Thats fast don't you think??
Anyways what can I say, its sometimes just so fun to go to school....
Irritating teachers...
Learn new stuffs...
Meeting friends...
Playing around...
Joking around....
Funny teachers...
Ahh.... Nothing could be better than all these...
But then again we have the...
Irritating teachers...
The strict teachers...
The torture of homework...
The punishments....
The RULEZ!!!
Well, thats school life.... But seriously, nothing beats school life...
Its already my senior year.... Wow!!!
I'm form 5 now and man how could it get any worse than going to school....
We have our SPM coming up...
Then its gonna be our last year of school... Imagine not being to see your friends so often....
The torture of always hearing... "You must get straight A's ah" and stuff like that....
Well all this beats going to work and paying taxes and all...
I seriously feel its all worth it...
School life is the best to be precise...
You won't get to see your friends or relax, joke around, make noise and stuff like that once you start working...
I think I went totally off topic...
Well as usual the first day comes with the busy road of students going to school...
Meeting our friends after such a long break....
Its all good here on my side because I really enjoy seeing my friends in school....
Then we had our loooooonnnnnngggggg first day of school speech by the principal as usual....
The results of the PMR for the year 2010 was announced and it was better than my badge by 5% (Man thats crazy)
Then of course we had to get down with all the class management stuffs with the class teacher after that as usual....
Electing the monitor , the assistant, the secretary and all....
Being notified about the PIBG and school payments and stuff....
But then again, something different happened for my class today...
We got the scolding for spending the class fund at Jusco... Haha XD
The teacher said it was corruption at a lower level.... Well it is our fault for not informing her about it...
Then we got our timetable....
Got a new chemistry teacher for this year... She is a nice teacher... Serious, weird way of talking and the 'senang kena bully type of teacher' but friendly in a way....
Then we had to write a "Vision for the Year 2011" for the Physics teacher....
And as usual the Physics teacher always talk in his weird way of "Stop vibrating your voice box" Instead of "Class keep quiet" ....
Basically thats what happened today.... Its the same old same old....
But its fun to go to school after such a long break... But of course I was hoping it would had lasted longer... Haha XD....
Anyways I hope that you all enjoy going to school, especially my senior friends who are currently in form 5 too....
Let's all make the best out of our school life so we can always remember the great times we had in our school life during our days of old....
Take care... Till next time.... (Can't wait to finish my post on my Cameron trip during the weekend XD )

A New Year

Happy New Year my dear readers...
It is truly amazing that it has already been a whole year...
Well 2010 was indeed a great and memorable year...
I had my bad times and I had my good times...
All my friends, family, the people around me....They made it a year I would actually to say never forget..
Its truly amazing how you will look back on everything that has happened the whole year through when it comes to at end but not while its happening...
When I reflect back, I realised I have done many things and many things have happened to me...
Like confessing what you feel to others....
Telling friends big secrets...
Screwing things up..
Fighting...
Getting punished...
Getting closer with friends...
Finding a second "family"....
Falling in love and getting heartbreaks...
Falling into sadness and rising again to soar the skies....
I've seen joy, I've seen sadness...
I've seen love, I've seen hatred...
I've seen light, I've seen darkness...
I've seen people hugging, I've seen people fighting....
But in the end it will all be just memories...
Memories that we will cherish and not let go of....
All of it whether it be bad or good is well remembered in our hearts....
For all I know, there is a feeling for the past in everyone's heart that can never fade...
We remember the good times to put that smile on our face when we are feeling troubled...
And we remember the bad times to bring out that laughter of how stupid it actually was...
We only realise things when it has become the past...
So why don't we just stop.... Yes, stop just for that very brief moment in time and sit.... Just relax and reflect on all we have done in the year 2010 and make our NEW YEAR RESOLUTION!!!!
To be someone better...
To change all that is bad to good...
All that is dark to light...
All that is sad to joy....
All that is hate to love...
And all that is bitter to sweet old memories that we will once again remember in our days of old....
I will keep the year 2010 in my heart forever and use it to start off this year 2011 to the best I can...
I will overcome my weakness and shine as bright as the sun....
Let us all do so to make this world a brighter and better place to live in....
Again, Happy New Year everyone and may the blessings of the heaven be showered upon us all as we begin this year..... 2-0-1-1 .....
