Fear.. What Is It To You? Saturday, June 16, 2007
All of us have fears. Call it the heeby-jeebies, or phobia, or natural aversion, there is something that we are all either digusted by, or fearful of. The common set would be the fear of physical entities, i.e. spiders, lizards, snakes, mother-in-laws, and other terrifying objects. Then, we also have the not-so-tangible host of terrors such as rejection, and loneliness. It was during a conversation with Kwo Kuang, however, where we were talking about stuff that he was averse to, when he asked;
"Wei. What are YOU afraid of?"
That got me thinking. I confess to being rather 'geli' with lizards and other creepy crawlies, and perhaps a tad jumpy and edgy after a good ghost story. (I remember not sleeping properly for days after one such movie..hehe.. I was younger then) However, these were just mild annoyances, not full-fledged fears, so I came to a conclusion after much thought.
Here it goes.
My honest confession.
My fear is of....
...large, deep-sea creatures that we have not seen before.
Yes, as strange as it may sound, I feel chilly when I think about the stuff that could be lurking around immensely deep waters. After all, angler fish came from very low depths, and look how horrible they look. Giant squid and whales DO exist, and they are large enough to chomp you up like another piece of cheese. Now, what if, in those depths, there are stranger things, larger things that have never been discovered? (think: Godzilla, Loch Ness Monster, Kraken) I figure, since they're so huge, if ever they catch me in open waters, I might as well drown myself, since I would have no way of escaping them. Furthermore, being born in the sea would give them an added advantage of speed and manoeuvrability (not many of us can outswim sharks.. I can't outswim a turtle.. or outrun one, for that matter..).
The Semenyih Lake Monster.. My Worst Fear Confirmed
So far, this hasn't crippled, or affected my life in any way, a fact that I am extremely thankful for. However, if I ever DO embark on a cruise, and I see a massively huge form rippling in the waters, I'll probably enjoy the cruise a LOT less.
Flying lizards.. The Stuff of Nightmares
What are you afraid of?

Sungeiwang and Summit in a Day.. Thursday, June 14, 2007
I met up with Joyce and her Seremban friends at Sungeiwang today. Coincidentally, I was supposed to swing by my office to do some stuff, so everything was rather convenient.
Lunch at KimGary
I have bug eyes
When I came home, Yenli called me to tell me that she had bought tickets for the 9.40p.m. screening of Ocean's 13 at the Summit. Since it was practically in my backyard, I hopped into the Kancil and trundled down to the cinema.
I don't know why we're hunching
After the show
Awww..Chui San and Kwo Kuang
Lynn and I
You may have noticed something weird about the photos. Yes, by request, I have changed Yenli pictures into Keroppi, since she was disinclined to to appear in the photo.
Along those lines, if you want to see the real photo, you'll have to get a password. Haha.. Key in the password to see pic
Fun times.

The ALFA ministry had been practicing hard for this auspicious event, and, on the 9th of June, 2007, it all paid off. The evening consisted of 6 different plays, all conveying the message of Salvation, performed by the youth of SJ AOG. One could see the effort put into the occcasion, what with the elaborate backdrops and smoke machines, which lent an air of professionalism to the whole event.
This was where the early birds were waiting I arrived in church to find that the entrance hall was bathed in UV light. (my teeth aren't white enough to glow, sad to say). The lighting was quite ingenious The place was filed up by the time I got there Due to my camera wonkiness, this stage effect looks quite cool Like professional like that.. ..can challenge Actor's Studio..haha.. Shu Ling and Kim Mi
A job very well done indeed! Kudos to all the people behind 6 for One!

I recently installed a new scanner/printer at home, so I took the opportunity to scan some of my old pictures that I took using an analogue camera (yes, those days, people used film). I was halfway through my collection when I stumbled across an interesting album.
On the 11th of January, 2003 (thats over 4 years ago), the Interact Club took part in a caving/charity event organised by the Rotary Club of Subang. This was a joint event, and, together with the Interactors of SMKDJ, and the orphans of the Sunbeams home, we boarded a schoolbus which brought us to Gua Tempurung.
Now, since it was over 4 years ago,the exact events that occured is rather hazy (I blame my poor memory and a diet of outside food) However, during those days, I normally wrote reports* on this sort of thing, and, thankfully, I still keep those reports. Here's a rough outline of what happened (with photos!);
The gang after the caving (food is of utmost importance) The DJ-ians (see a familiar face? =) Some of the SJ-ians
During the night, after dinner, the two schools were asked to put up a performance.
Eu Bing, on his expensive guitar. This is where my (cheap) Pyramid guitar made her debut
A group photo with the orphans
After the whole affair, we all met up in Julie's room, where Kosheila introduced us to the game of "Mafia". (don't ask me, I STILL can't remember how it went)
Interact SJ Committee, 2002/2003
We made a lot of noise
The next morning saw us helping out at the orphanage.
Yes, the white shirts are free gifts And, finally, before we left for home, we took a photo at the Hyatt.
Its photos like these that bring back oh so many memories of simpler times. I wonder where everyone has gone to?
Interactors, a get-together, someday? =)

Of Small Burgers and Increasing Appetites Monday, June 04, 2007
I was just having a MSN conversation the other day with Joyce, about food, when we came across this topic;
It was then that I thought to myself. Hmm.. Kinda true..
Maybe my appetite just increased, and I need to eat more these days.
Or perhaps chicken around the world have shrunk.
God only knows.
