When talking to God...

Just today I met with danger...

And on this same day, I went to church for a reading practice...

Just hours before that, I almost met with a car accident...

I could have landed up on a hospital bed or worse but instead I was in church attending my reading practice...

And so I headed for church...

My mother drove this time...

Still a troubled by the incident in the afternoon, I sat in the car quietly... 

So we reached church after a few minutes drive...

I went to the toilet and then entered the church...

There were some others there to attend for the reading practice...

So I entered the church and took a seat...

I waited for Aunty Mary Rajoo as she was dealing with someone else's reading...

So as I was seated alone there alone, I decided to pray to God...

I follow my usual sequence of prayer and finally came to the last part...

I thanked Him most of all that I could even be there in the first place to talk to Him...

I had a talk with God...

The talk was about how I felt earlier this afternoon...

About how scared I was...

About how useless I felt..

About feeling not unique...

About the tears that I shed...

About wanting to quit..

About doing something with all my enthusiasm and confidence...

About driving...

Do I really feel that way???

Do I really hate driving??

The answer is....

It is up to me to decide...

It is not fixed...

That is what is so awesome about it...

And I've decided that is not how I really feel...

I do not hate driving...

It is something I've been waiting for a long time to do...

I'm not going to let that incident though dangerous to break my spirit...

I want to be greater than that...

I shed those tears for a reason...

So I will be more careful when driving from now on...

Full attention in everything I do...

But the thing is, I could have said that earlier but why now??

The funny thing about talking to God is....

You do not hear a voice replying to you..

But does that mean he is not talking to you??

Of course not, there was this feeling...

And then, when I read the bible reading...

Coincidentally, the reading was like God's advice to me..

And then I felt this warm feeling in me...

I knew that God was with me the whole time...

He was actually the one who called to me when I almost made a mistake on the road...

He held my hand together when I controlled the steering wheel..

I realised that it really is important that I pray every time I'm about to drive..

I did not this afternoon and see what happen...

So I'll always say a short prayer before driving, "May there be no harm to me and to others as well. "

A simple prayer but a great protection...

Now, I'm excited, enthusiastic, and happy again...

I will live on with my uniqueness that none can match...

I will do what God wanted me to do...

Be the me that he made me to be...

To be none other than, Jason Niap...

That boy that was born with his own uniqueness...

St.Paul Secondary Concert- A Musical Mozart / My 100th post

Hello everyone...

I'm happy to say that this is my official 100th post....

Yippeee!!!!

After 3 years of blogging I have reached my 100th post...

And with it comes a great exciting moment of my life...

My school concert which is called 'A Musical Mozart'...

It was the 8th of July...

You can say that it was teens night...

The concert was only for students not only from my school but also from others...

The concert only begins at 8pm but I was at Terminal 2 around 6pm to wait for Lai and have our dinner...

When he arrived, we discussed on what to eat and finally we went to have our dinner at New Town...

We ordered two plates of Fried chicken chop but instead we got a grilled one...

But who cares, the chicken chop was quite nice compared to other shops I have been too before..

And I tried ice blended chocolate for the first time...

It was just amazing how chocolate sinks into your taste buds through the ice.... AMAZING!!!

After having our meal, I realised that I forgotten to bring my ticket ( LOL!!! XP )

So I decided to call my mum to bring the ticket to me...

Lai and myself, we walked over to the school gate and saw some of the others there...

Lai went in with some of them first while I was waiting outside with Kew for my dad to come and give me the ticket...

Not long after, my dad came and gave me the ticket and I went in together with Kew..

We went to the front seats where the others have already taken a few rows just for our group of friends...

Why in front?? Because we wanted to support all our friends that are performing for the night...

While waiting for the concert to start, we were all busy chatting while I took some photos...

And as soon as the lights went off, the audience went wild and everyone started to shout and scream with excitement...

The Zo'Fonk which consists of Jason Too, Harish Pal, Daryl Luke, Philip Goh and Danesh was the opening act as they made the audience go wild...

Everyone was screaming, shouting, whistling...

Oh it was amazing..

I even shout my heart out...

At the end of their performance, I did as Jason Too asked me to...

I asked my friends who were all seated at the front rows to give him a standing ovation...

We stood up and clapped and shouted like crazy....

Ahhh!!!! It was so fun...

And then we had the 1 Malaysia dance, singing Mandarin songs, a traditional Indian dance...

Then came another performance by my two buddies Syukran Azizi a.k.a Slim-Z and Julian Sebastian....

They were rapping for their performance...

And the rap was just awesome...

Whenever Julian went "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" , everyone followed him screaming back the same way...

We even had a Michael Jackson dance...

Everyone was singing along to the song 'Beat It'

After that, we had the violin & piano performance...

I did not enjoy that performance because I knew that it was suppose to be performed by my friends , Lim and Zafri....

But instead the teachers chose them over my friends...

I know that they would have performed better....

Next was the English drama...

This time the drama was a little more interesting compared to the one from the previous concert three years ago in the year 2008 (I think) ....

People enjoyed the music and dance in between the drama...

Pn.Shan really made a drama worth watching...

It was followed up by the exciting modern Indian dance, singing Malay songs.....

Which then finally came to another of my friend's group, Ezra's group...

It was an acoustic band....

They sang the song 1985 and Rhythm of Love ....

The girls all loved it and kept screaming their hearts out....

Ezra went down the stage while singing the Rhythm of Love and moved down the lane to the back where Sonia was seated...

I did not see what she did but Ezra told me that they planned that out already...

After that performance, we had the Hip Hop dance by none other than Nicholas...

He is a great dancer from my school (an ex-student actually) with a little girlish figure...

He can pole dance so what do you think he did for this performance???

His group dance to the song by Pussycat Dolls "When I Grow Up"...

His dance was just amazing and yet again the crowd went wild with the screaming and shouting...

For the next performance, it singing Tamil songs...

Me and my friends did not wanted to watch that performance so we headed out to the toilet for a while and got a little fresh air while we were at it....

Finally came the last and I would say one of the best performance...

It was the MASKED dance by my friend Brendan along with 5 other guys....

The dance was first seen by our school on Teacher's Day...

At that time, he did it with only himself and Russell...

The performance was a mixture of a few songs and it was just amazing....

When Party Rock Anthem was played, the guys on stage clapped their hands asking us to join them...

I saw no one joining in so I decided to stand and clapped along with them to the beat of the song....

And I got everyone else sitting at the back to stand and clap along...

It was an amazing view to see people standing up one by one and joining in the fun....

Ahhh!!! Yes, the performance got the wildest reaction from the crowd...

Everyone loved it...

At the end everyone stood up and gave them a standing ovation with screaming and shouting...

My friends and I even started to shout out Brendan's name...

We went " Brendan, Brendan, Brendan"

And finally all the performance came to an end...

Then the host came out to announce the best performance of the day...

And guess what???

They chose the worse among them...

The 1 Malaysia dance and the modern Indian dance (The modern Indian dance was ok but still)..

They could have chosen the final performance which got everyone standing and cheering...

Not a boring performance where everyone did not really enjoy...

My group even went on and did our signature move which is "Boo sama dia!!!"

Tiness which was a friend of ours who shifted school was there and he went "Boo sama dia!!"

And we all followed saying "Boo!!!"

And when everyone was noisy I shouted "Who's the judge??" out loud...

At that very moment everyone was quiet and they all heard me...

The ones sitting in front turned back to look ...

My friends and I were all laughing like crazy....

Well, I did not get caught for that so it was all great and fun...

Then they said there is a surprise performance...

Guess what?? It was the 1 Malaysia dance with teachers dancing along this time...

No surprise for me...

We all went out because we did not wanted to watch that performance...

I caught up with all my other friends who came after the concert...

Well, the concert was awesome and it really is perfect seeing that everyone is stressed up from studies...

For me, it was an awesome time to spend together with friends...

And I also realise that cheering for others is as exciting as being cheered...

At the end of the day, I took a group photo outside of school and then I headed for supper with my family...

Lai's 17th Birthday Celebration

The 4th of July...

This is not only the national day for the US of A...

It is also the birthday of a good friend of mine, Lai Choon Kiat...

All his life, he hardly celebrates his birthday...

Unlike myself, my family celebrate each and every birthday...

Anyways, when we planned for this celebration, I could see this smile on Lai's face which I have never seen before...

It was a smile from within..

He was rather overjoyed that there are people who actually want to celebrate the anniversary of his birth...

Anyways, after all the planning and change of plans...

We finally ended up in Pizza Italia...

I was the first one there just around 10 minutes to 7pm...

We planned to gather there at 7pm but I waited for some time and there was no one to be seen..

After a while, I saw a black car stopping in a weird position..

I was sure that the driver is looking for a place...

After a while, I moved and stand on the road to check it out and the car came towards my direction...

To my amaze it was one of my friend, Soong...

He was driving already... (Wow >.< )

At the same time, Bryan arrived...

Not long after, Chew Joon Nick came...

It was the four of us now...

The place was booked for 17 people... (Thats a lot)

After chit chatting for a while, we decided to get a cake for Lai...

So Bryan, Soong and myself, we went to Jusco to get a cake...

Soong drove us there and it was a heck of a scary ride.... (Haha =D )

We got a chocolate cake from Secret Recipe for RM75....

And on it was written ' Happy Birthday LOL :) ' (Specially written words... Haha XD )

With the cake we returned to Pizza Italia, and the rest of them have already arrived...

Alex, Harinder, Vijaya, Lim and of course the birthday boy, Lai...

We gave to be refrigerated while we enjoy our meal....

Three pizzas were ordered along with our personal add-ons...

I ordered a plate of Pollo Lasagna and I gave a portion of it to Soong, Lim, Vijaya and Harinder to let them try it out...

And guess what, they all loved it...

Alex and me had our bottle of beer...

He had his Ludwig while I had a bottle of Hoegarden....

We ate, we chat, we laughed...

It was all fun...

After having our dinner, we asked for the cake...

As the workers there were very nice and provide great customer service, they served the cake for us instead (Wow!!! )

They even gave us plates and forks...

What more the cake is our own and they actually served it for us... (Awesome service)

We sang a birthday song for Lai and the look on his face is no different to that of a happy little boy celebrating his birthday...

Speaking of little boy, while we were enjoying our cake, one of the worker asked us to join in to sing a birthday song for a small little boy...

We sang our hearts out for that boy and it really made all the different for him...

He was excited..

Like I say, the face of that boy looked exactly like how Lai was...

Its because when people celebrate something for you, they are honoring you in a way and it makes u happy deep within...

We laughed off like mad the till around 9pm + and finally we all went to Jusco as planned to catch a movie...

Some followed Chew's mum while the rest followed Soong...

And again I went for a heck of a ride...

We reached there a little later then those who followed Chew's mum...

Jusco was packed so we had to go up the rooftop to find a place to park....

We went down to meet up with the others...

We wanted to watch transformer 3 the dark of the moon...

But they were sold out..

So we decided to watch Monte Carlo...

But there was only 4 tickets left and there were 9 of us...

All the movies were fully booked except 'Rasuk' which we do not want to watch...

So we went out of the cinema and discussed what to do...

We were deciding between Karaoke or Bowling...

In the end we chose bowling because karaoke that night was RM42++ per person...

It was to expensive and we were all like half broke already...

So some of us bowled while the others played pool...

We bowled and had fun...

There was even a problem where the bowling ball got stuck in the drain because the machine closed the path half way....

And we did something stupid by continuously bowling other ball to clear the drain...

It was stupid because everytime one of it goes in, the other gets stuck..

And finally Alex walked down the lane and pushed the ball in...

We all bowled for two games and then we headed home...

I followed Soong back along with Alex and Lim...

It was yet again a heck of a ride home...

So in the end of the day I had fun and I went home with a sore thumb...

Another great day spent with friends and hopefully stuff like this becomes a little more frequent for me in the future...

Thank God for friends that gives me so much of fun...

And to Lai, Happy Birthday again...

Amazing Voices

Music is really inspirational in life...

Especially when singers have great voices....

Such as Josh Groban, Il Divo, Celine Dion, Bee Gees and many more...

This fantastic singers have done so much wonder for us by singing with their great voices....

These voices are wonderful and really touching...

Its reaches beyond...

All the way to the heart....

With lyrics that brings so much of meaning....

I'll continue loving music of all kinds (unless they are really really horrible)

And never forget the oldies which brought about the musics we all have today...

I really hope that I'll also be able to build up a voice as great as them some day...

I hope to be able to sing like them but not to become a famous singer or anything...

But so that I can express feelings through the wonder of music...

With a beautiful voice...

I'll keep singing till that happens...

And keep living life to the very best...

Praise God for all that he gives to us...

Especially for the music and great voices in the world...

The Beauty of doing something

Have you ever given an idea or volunteered to do something before???

Well I know I have....

Though the work that you have to do for giving an idea or volunteering for something may take up your time...

Its worth it...

When doing something you always end up learning something or seeing something new...

Sometimes it may be a good experience but sometimes it will be a bad one...

Either way it is worth it because if its a good one, you will feel this wonderful feeling...

But if it is a bad one, you will become stronger and be able to handle things like that in the future...

Well, I was preparing a special Rosary for my Cathechism class this Sunday (tomorrow XP)...

As I was preparing this special Rosary, I recalled my teacher saying "You can put some picture of Mother Mary here and there in the slide show presentation"

Ok, so I went to search for some pictures....

And this was the first time I actually search for pictures like this....

To my amazement, I see beautiful pictures....

Some really strong, while some were just touching...

Some makes you feel light just looking at it...

And oh no, I'm not talking about the pictures of Mother Mary only....

The pictures of Jesus and the Holy Spirit....

Really a beautiful thing....

So in short I'm just trying to say that...

Its always good to give ideas and do something about it...

Or to volunteer to do something...

Trust me, you will find some benefits doing it....

And once it all piles up, you will feel on top of the world....

Hehe XP
