My computer

this is the story of a computer...

I'd forgot the actual date when I was jogging alone in Balai Cerapan, UTM and I met Rhoda and Simon. I know Rhoda (a Remote Sensing girl) during after the praise and worship in SCC very last time and Simon(his course Architech) was my seniors since in secondary school. We had a quite long boring chat...I know they are the strong people in CG, Cell Group which I hate so much to attend after only once. If they tried to invite me to go for any CG, I would rather declined even if I need to lie.

The good thing happen when Simon offered to help me regarding to my computer. He was willing to bring me to Century, one of the Computer technician shop in Taman U on that weekend.I was to glad for that because I really need my computer for Engineering Drawing assignment. Then before the night come (Late evening) I was brought to my collegue with Simon's friend's car. Rhoda asked me to give Brendan (my roomates) his coat which was posted by his parents.(Rhoda and Brendan is long lost neighbour). Brendan really need such formal cloth for some annual dinner which not related to a low grade student like me.

Saturday came, at 11 am. Simon came and I brought my CPU , power cable and monitor cable (just in case!). Surprisingly, Rhoda was there in the car too (This is not a suspend story ok....it's only a matter of my computer). Well the more ,the merrier. We went to have our lunch at one of the Chinese Restaurant. I ate a lot but I had mistakenly took the Cha Sau look alike flour made food (this was not the lent season yet).

Then we went to Century, a very small shop with a lot of computer stuff put everywhere but there's a lot of customer too...It was very simple, the malay girl sign a resit for me and asked me to call them back after 3 days. My computer (only CPU) was left there with a recorded paper adhered on it Bye Virginio.

Instead of going back, Simon wanted to go to Nike Factory shop to have a look for a good price of a sport shoes. But we went to Adidas first...indeed the price there are lot more cheaper then in Sabah. Almost 70% cheaper. Same goes to the Nike Products. They are original and had been localized (Malaysia,Thailand, Indonesia, Phillipines, Vietnam made!) but the quality might be vary....bad I guess. Simon didn't buy anything. So we went to Taman U's Jusco. He looked for Bata - (a famous Czech republican's product of shoes but being localized in Malaysia) sport shoes but he couldn't maked his mind. So we have our short shopping a Jusco. I bought gel for my hair lorrr....some McVities biscuits and more. Rhoda had a big shopping with the trolley full with things that almost her's. Simon finally bought the Bata Shoe....ermmm Yeah near the Bata Shoe, I saw a noisy machine that can measure people's weight and height, health and also luck with only 50 cents. it's kind of funny as I saw some people just forgot to get the result from the machine after the measurement taken.

Next we went to Taman Tun Aminah because they wanted to meet some of their friend, but their friend didn't reply the called. So, we turned back and a an afternoon Cendol break. It was indeed a great cendol...Rhoda sponsored some kuih pisang, friend mushroom and popiah. The stall is owned by a chinese muslim converted woman. she wore Tudung and I could see her sons and daughter was helping here in this small potential business.

After that, Simon sended me back to my collegue. I was so tired but I have to get ready for church....

after several days (five instead of three days), I contacted the technician and inquired my computer's matter. He said my RAM had problem and need to change...I afraid so much because the price was very expensive. But he continued to say that not to worry because I have the warranty. well my warranty was in Taman Molek...huh!

after some weeks I claimed it from Century and went back to Aunty Flocy house...since I already promised not to take any taxi, i carried along my CPU in two way busses. people eyes couldn't be stopped. I know.

I reached there almost a 5pm Thursday... not much changes. Lance and Louis was having their 1st mid term break for a week. Aunty flocy no more working. The memoir of Geisha's story in the reality world occured among the women in the house. Uncle Law remained the same and Lora seem really not well taken care. I say hi to Aunty Jay hwo seem tiredly and so relax sitting on the single sofa. One of the sofa upstair had been move to downstair... at least i still have another to sleep on. Lance and Louise were very busy to fill their holiday with Dota as they aren't allowed to play during school days. Lora seem to forget my name...haha poor baby. so the evening start with a little shop at QQ market where me, Aunty flocy, Lora and Louis went to buy some food. I remind them I would not eat meat as my way to respect the Lent season.

The next day was a lazy Friday....the libray will close soon, I need to publish now.... to be continued....hahaha

After so long...

Here I am again with a very Good news in this Lent season...

well, one of the most importand days in Roman Catholic is the Easter. the day when our Lord rose from the dead. Lent is a Forty day Fasting of preparation for Easter. Lent begins on wednesday, called Ash wednesday.

we'll fast for 40 days as well as Jesus, Son of God fasted and was tempted in the wilderness for 40 days. Lent is our time to fast, do prayers, tempted and repent. Actually there's no words in the scriptures needed us to fast but fasting has been a custom for Christians to practices for most of the last 2000 years.

Lent = fast. But there's confusion whereby, we are not suppose to fast of Sunday. Sunday are the days of celebrations. So Lent is going on for 46 days beginning of Ash Wednesday.

The focus of Lent was always threefold:
1) it was a time to prepare new converts for baptism through intensice classes and instruciton.
2) It was a time for long-standing Christians to reviews their lives and renew their commitment to Jesus Christ.
3)It was a time for backsliders to be restored to the faith.

For a Christian, these are some question that need to be consider during Fasting season.

Am I sharing gladly what I have with others, especially the stranger and the poor?

Do I have a gracious and patient attitude with others, especially those who irritate me?

Do I feel the power of connection to God and the church in corporate worship?

How is my devotional and prayer life progressing? Am I listening to God more and complaining
less? Is it time for a change or a growth in my Bible study and prayer life?

What are the lurking sin problems, which still plague me?

Am I as thoughtful and forgiving of family as others, or do I take my frustrations out on them?

Do I speak up for the maligned and oppressed, or do I remain silent in order to remain popular?

tha's a bit about lent season...
I wish I could do this....

Don't ever says to God ;"d, I have a big problem. "
Try this: "Hey problem! I have a God."
We had a great big wonderful God.
Powerful and mighty with love.

Just leave it as a friendster message.

Ok from now one I won't be posting any pasted letters from friendster. I'll just let it be a Friendster message alone.

Hey! Help! They...

There's light shinning;
reflecting on everyone's face;
although live a simple life;
life's under one roof.

A child would broke the silent;
Two half-maid help a lot;
one 'tree' generates necessity;
But technology are entertainment.

If they syntax could go in;
If the entertainment is synthesis;
if received and send in one key;
It's more useful than food.

Respondsibilities had been ignored;
Mutual feelings had deterioted;
Too much depend on the 'tree';
A mix problem caused by the line.

One say "I got problem";
One say "I got problem";
One say "I got problem";
everyone got problem.

What problem, may I help;
Yes, but how could it happened;
Oh I see, the stream of entertainment;
Causing a mix problems.

Life is too easy;
I can starat anytime;
I'll know when it's come;
Just relax and wait.

Argh! Life here's too hard;
there's now life here;
I've got to restart;
return and restart.

I'll just wait and wait;
no, you cannot go;
Just stay with me;
We'll just wait and relax.

Esay in the controversial ways;
restart without considerations;
wait until the rain of gold;
problem comes by attitude.

so let me stop the factor;
Factor of entertainment;
Huh! everyone had woke up!;
is life going to change.

Desperate now is the defination;
no more dreaming in the stream;
That's could be a cruel move;
But it's effectives.

Priority shown up in the middle;
but they want easy way;
now one stop, one go and one still;
that isn't good at all.

Thre's nothing to do;
the 'servants' and child could do nothing;
lives indeed changed but no different;
Why not just wait and see.

The Pretender!

There's only three of them;
three good-looking guys;
too friendly and playful;
but there's one pretender.

Among the three guys;
only one very old;
only one very young;
but who is the pretender.

if one says it so;
one of the two will agree;
but maybe one more don't;
So, who could be the pretender.

The two would sleep together;
but another one can't;
As time past, they were in one bed;
could time find the pretender.

while playing one play happily;
another plays skillfully;
the last one played shamefully;
They are playing with a pretender.

two of them would share;
but one would never;
one of the two never ignore it;
could he be the pretender?

One would talk something;
another one would talk too;
But another one won't share;
which one is the pretender.

They talk what guy's talk;
They play like any guys;
They live like any other guys;
But there's one pretender.

the Pretender admit to one of them;
but nothing help the pretender;
Then, he tells the other one;
Now they know who's the pretender.

Now the life had changed;
As the truth revealed;
Life not like before;
Unlike the before the confession.

It's a mistake

I just realized
of all the past , i passed
of all hatred I put
It was a mistake.

I'm confuse now
I stayed away or rather hide
I ran without looking back
and it's a mistake.

I can see now
the truth of peanut's shell
I never thought of it
It's true mistake

I am a mistake make
For I never think more
I hope they wxplain earlier
It's still my mistake.

I shoul never do it
But i did and regret
After when it's irreversable
I'm wron, my mistake
