A union of two people - Francis Ng & Fuan Ai Vea

What can I say? Fate works in a way that we will never understand, will never learn how its magic works, but am happy that fate did brought two very lovely people together, may both Francis and Ai Vea have a blissful marriage ahead of them...

Did not have the chance to fly back to Malaysia for their wedding ceremony, but have robbed a few photos off Mei's blog to be posted here temporarily, till Francis passes me his wedding photos.

Maybe age is catching up very fast, marriages are booming everywhere in my circle of friends, wonder which could be the lucky couple next to tie the knot?

Paintball Day

Had a paintball day yesterday at the Deltra Force paintball site situated at Thatchwood, Thronbury, Bristol BS35 3UF. It was quite far up north, so if one were to hold a map of around UWE, its far up north till it's out of the map actually.

Fifteen of us went, and yes yes, that included the guy that Amy was oogling at from mei and my Friendster...oh, btw Edward the bear took pics with him too. LOL! Amy, jealous or not? Tsk tsk...

Not much could be said about the paintball, maybe because most of them are sore losers anyway. Fragged 4 people for the second round in the jungle but they decided to continue playing after getting shot in the body (i.e. any shot in any part of the body except the hopper, the gun and headshots = dead). Edward even got scolding from a guy who had scolded Ed for shooting him 3 times and gave him a middle finger after he asked him why he was still in the game despite being shot at 3 times. LOL!

Let's let the picture do the talking of the day, shall we?

The other team's long way to the paintball venue...


After 4 games, still going on strong? Hell yeah!


Mind the ambulance behind me. Someone fell and broke his hand during the first game and had to be carted away in an ambulance...

3 Idiotic White Men...

I have no remorse or whatsoever for typing the title above. To other courteous non-asians & asians, have no fear for you did not do what the 3 idiots below did. To the 3 idiots, have a very happy life in hell...certainly you just earned your tickets to hell, betcha a lot of people did pray for the express tickets to hell. Or rather, let's not be so evil. Let's see you 3 trying to make a living in wheelchairs, in wheelchair, neglected and begging for money. Karma will get to you, and at that time, I bet everyone will be filming you instead.

Hypocrite

Wikipedia's Definition:

"Hypocrisy is the act of condemning another person for an act of which the critic is guilty"

Answer.com's Definition:

1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
2. An act or instance of such falseness.

M.e.o.w.'s definition of Hypocrites...

"Hypocrites are 50% of the people around us, whether you notice it or not. They often come conveniently in a package which consists of self centered-ness, cockiness, and a good deal of acting skills. These obnoxious people often talk too much for their own good, thinks they're all that, expecting the world to revolve around them. More often than not, they are actually the ones with the most flaws, and yet, they think of themselves as perfection brought to life. In actual fact, they are the perfect example to "empty barrels make the most noise". Normal habits include breaking promises, difficulty in being punctual, and a most admirable talent in creating an impressive amount of excuses that almost sound believable. Somehow, they make themselves sound so righteous, and they deserve exceptions. The professional hypocrite is capable of creating an impression that they are not a hypocrite at all, and hence is able to perform the crime in broad daylight without getting caught.

How to deal with Hypocrites:

If you're feeling nice,
Smile and laugh it off. That way you don't have to lie. If you lie, and agree despite the truth, that makes you no better than the hypocrite him/herself.

If you're feeling sarcastic,
Casually remind them with an excellent example of the criminal in action, and tell them what a great joke it was, that you nearly thought that the person was really a "hypocrite".

If you have a crush on that person,
You will think that person has no flaws, and you'll probably not realize that he/she is being a hypocrite at all. Just stare and drool since he/she is talking to you. Agreeing under crush-influence is excusable to a certain extent.

If you really hate that person so much you get constipation just thinking about that person,
Record that piece of conversation, and play it out loud (or repeatedly) the next time the crime is committed by the hypocrite."

Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out. Your heart is open to where ever love takes you! Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking What turns you off: fighting and conflict Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love

What Does Your Candy Heart Say?

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are powerful, passionate, and dominant. You have a vision of how things should be, and you do your best to make things happen. People rely on you for your strength. You are a rock to many. Underneath it all, you aren't so sure about your passions. So many ideas spark your interest, it is hard for you to get behind a select few. However, you see indecision as a sign of weakness. So you pursue your goals full force - no matter how foolish they turn out to be.

What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. Your ideal relationship is comforting. You crave a relationship where you always feel warmth and love. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage. In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

Your Brain is Purple

Of all the brain types, yours is the most idealistic. You tend to think wild, amazing thoughts. Your dreams and fantasies are intense. Your thoughts are creative, inventive, and without boundaries. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking of fictional people and places - or a very different life for yourself.

The Road Not Taken

No idea why, but suddenly this poem that I had studied previously in High School just pop-ed out in my mind, and made me felt like blogging it down...Though it has been quite a while since I read the poem, somehow it's just like I've just read it 5 minutes ago...

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
It leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Don't know why people can just neglect these folks in a home for the elderly back in Malaysia, seems like they'ev sold their conscience to dollars & cents...

Chinese New Year ads

Don't know why, I just went to youtube.com and searched for Petronas advertisments...And true enough, I found really meaningful advertisments that were produced in the Year 2005, 2006 and 2007 from Petronas for Chinese New Year. Don't know about you all, but it did really touched my heart so much that I was literally T-T over watching the ads.

Guy Fawkes Night

Well, had a surprise invitation from the BA (Business Administration) friends today in the afternoon to go watch fireworks at Clifton Down in Bristol. Didn't know about it until Jomay called me up to enquire whether we were going for the show or not, so just decided to tag along.

The event information

The proceeds are to be donated to charities, so don't really mind in paying the entrance fees, at least its going to charity and not fattening some rich people's pockets.

The camwhoring disease sorta like spread from Ferlynn to us, so before we did head down to the city to catch a bus to Clifton Down, we managed to take a picture of us in a nice scenery in the campus, with the autumn leaves and trees as the background of the picture.

Camwhoring at campus...

Much to our surprise, it wasn't just a bonfire and fireworks display, but it's also a carnival! A lot of the rides there brings back memories of carnivals back in Malaysia (which is extinct!)...

Ferris wheel?

It was on the way in when I spotted St. John's ambulances parked on the road, so as a dedication to Chris Ng that is so into St. John's in Malaysia, George and I decided to show him how St. John's ambulances look like in the UK.

Aha! St. John's ambulance in the UK

Picture of the bonfire, close up...

Bonfire & me...

Some of the fireworks pictures...

And that concludes the event for today. Stay tuned for more daily/event updates in the blog...

Had to brush our teeths during recess at primary school? had to hold plastic cups, line up with your classmates side by side and start brushing our teeths at some open area... or maybe near some drain??

Do you still remember that we had 'dentist' rooms where we had to have our teeths check?

Not to forget our 'program minum susu' in primary school.. everybody is suppose to buy like cartons of milk that costed 30 cents.. and you would see everyone drinking it everyday...its d UHT milk...

The teachers who would want to punish us must use yellow rulers to hit us on our palms?? 1 metre length..

That a bowl of mihun soup or some soup only costed 50 cents at the school canteen...

Went to some sundry shop near the school or to the 'roti' man waiting outside our schools so that we can buy junk food like chickedees, mamee, ding dang with some toys in it, 'Ti Kam', ice-cream and we would play games like monopoly, uno, old maid, and all other card games like
that...

Another fun time would be during Pendidikan Jasmani. the boys would play football while the girls would play netball... and it would be like we were playing in the World Cup...

But of course. the best would be main guli, batu seremban, bottlecaps, ice-
cream sticks, 'Pepsi Cola one-two-three', Cops and Robbers, main kejar-kejar duduk,getah... and for the not so active, those kind of 'book games' where we would use buku latihan to draw and ask our friends to play...

Do you remember the ice-cream tubes which are actually ice and colouring that are sold for 10 to 20 cents.. the colourful ones.. where you usually bite off the top to glup it down. Orange taste the best..(pop-ice)

What about days when we felt like doing naughty things such as folding papers so small to make 'lastik' amd shoot each other... how about throwing chalks??

Back then, Micheal Jackson was just turning white.. and still had albums coming out.. compared to CD's, we were listening to tapes that sold for RM9.90 ...

In computer class, we were still using black and white computer moniters..played 'Atari'... maybe SEGA or NINTENDO..

well, are we all getting older or what?

1) If you understand what you have read and you are smiling...

2) We have friends from school that are already married...

3) We shake our heads everytime we see high school students fussing about their handphones in school..

4) We don't hang on phone with our friends for hours a day talking about nothing...

5) When we meet back with our friends from time to time, we feel excited and happy talking about old times, the funny 'adventures' or stories that we experienced as a kid..

6) Last but not least, that when you read this, you would think of all the happy & sad memories that you have experienced when you were still a kid and would think of forwarding this to your old friends that you have known since forever... i'm sure they would have a huge smile on their face after reading this.....

p/s: if u feel u're one of them who experinced this, repost this to share it wif ur friends... :P
