My Bad Snow Leopard Experience

2009-09-15T12:12:00.000+08:00

I am annoyed with Apple! Very annoyed. *Takes a deep breath* And the object of my annoyance sits in the very pretty box below.Pretty box but not so pretty on the inside ... Yes! You heard that right! I'm annoyed with Apple for their crummy Mac OS X Snow Leopard install disc which is dual-layered and apparently cannot be read by the Superdrive that comes standard on my 1-year old Macbook. The disc

... the PS3 Slim!!! *unsurprised yawn* After months of rumours, Sony does a half-baked attempt at managing their industrial secret leaks by revealing the PS3 Slim at a little known event called GamesCom. The only gaming events that I know of right now that are MONSTER are E3 (which I wanna go to one day but I've heard it's press only) and Leipzig in Germany. GamesCom? What's that?Anyways, here's

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune Revisited

2009-08-16T17:50:00.000+08:00

Uncharted: Drake's FortuneNaughty Dog's "Uncharted" has gotta be one of the best games I've played. Ever. I picked the game up a week or two after I bought my PS3 and boy am I glad I did. Since the sequel is gonna be released in a couple of months time I decided to revisit the game over the weekend and it's been great playing through the game in its entirety on a higher difficulty level.Nate &

What We Wanna Hear

2009-08-09T05:18:00.000+08:00

Are You Stuck in Your Own Opinions?I was reading the following today in my personal time with God and in the passage it was the one thing that stood out the most.2 Timothy 4:3-4For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will

Letting Go

2009-07-04T10:33:00.000+08:00

Letting GoI've been mulling about writing this for such a long time. I know what I want to write but somehow I couldn't bring myself to put these thoughts to writing because I haven't quite yet resolved releasing things to God.One of the biggest things I have been grappling with in the past 5 years of life has been relationships. To be more specific ... romantic relationships. It's funny but

Salt of the EarthA Sprinkle of SaltI promised myself just this week that I'd make more of an effort to blog so am gonna write something short today. I was reading Our Daily Bread today and found the following rather amusing yet true. Have a read:As the “salt of the earth,” Christians can make others thirsty for the Water of Life.We should realise that all of us are examples in life no matter what

Even Superheroes Drink MilkSuperheros & milk! Who would've thought?! I love the U.S. "Got Milk" ads and according to them my fav superheroes drink milk too! Sure they don't love the strawberry-flavoured delight that I'm into but anything that gets kids drinking milk is really awesome stuff in my opinion. I don't drink milk just cos' it's nutritious, I drink milk cos' I like it!My mom told me I

I have made You known to them, and will continue to make You known in order that the love You have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."What an awesome, awesome prayer by Jesus for us.

Terminate the Enterprise? The weekend was pretty hectic. Helped out at a Youth Camp on Saturday and Sunday morning. Rushed back to Pee Jay for Star Trek (picked up some Baskin Robbins along the way too) and celebrated my aunt's 70th birthday with my cousins.Now back to the real purpose of this post. For the first time in a long time I watched 2 movies twice. Caught Terminator: Salvation on

Think Different

2009-05-30T04:41:00.000+08:00

Fly-thanking Frogs!I've found that one of the ways to keep pressing on in life is to learn how to be more thankful. It's so easy to take things for granted cos' our eyes are always set on shiny things in life. The odd thing about the human condition is that we never truly appreciate what we have until it's gone. Oddly enough, the grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence.Deep down

A random image off the web!Strangely enough I don't really have the desire to express myself too much ... I guess being a writer at work I use up my entire quota of words in the office which doesn't leave much for this blog. Ha ha! But I guess it's also because I keep a daily journal (almost!) which does it's job of getting things out of my system.Why is blogging such a big thing now? I believe

FFXIII and More ...Lightning - The Heroine in the Upcoming Final FantasyI have to admit there's nothing much to play on the PS3 right now. In terms of RPGs there's practically zilch in the market. But I guess being older now & more responsible there's tonnes to do elsewhere in my life (have I grown up?).There's church & cell. There's learning more about God and my faith. Work. And of course the

Just a MeasureEphesians 3:17-19And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

God's POV

God's View is Bigger!I've been listening a lot to Ps. Edmund Chan in the past month and it's been refreshing to just listen to the Word of God and to be centred on Him. I can't say that I'm like 100% there yet and there's still a lot of work that He needs to do in me to transform me.It's been a great weekend and I learnt some new things at yesterday's Discipleship Conference in church.

The Dark Knight ... Of CourseJust this morning as I cleared the hall in my apartment a little I had the Special Features disc playing from the Dark Knight and something hit me. Life is rife with challenges and I figured out this morning that movies, games and books inspire me to do better; to be better. There is a unrealised need in the world today for fiction to not just entertain but to teach

Turbulence ...When it rains it pours. It has been a rough few months and many things have happened. I've seen people passing on. I've seen sickness. I've experienced unreciprocated love. I've seen pain. I've felt pain. Life. Life just happened.If anything, I'm learning more and more each day how to quiet down whenever I'm faced by overwhelming emotions and circumstances.

CalvaryCast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7Jesus at Calvary. Not a picture we'd like to remember but one that reminds us that we can cast all our cares on Him. A lot of things are happening right now in my life and I am so thankful that I was given 1 Peter 5:7 this morning. I just felt that the verse was something that I should share with all of you who may be

Busy as a Bee

2008-11-22T04:42:00.000+08:00

Small Bee, Big FlowerOowah! I've been up today since 5-something AM. Started the day off talking to God a lot. It's been a rough few weeks but isn't that how life is? We are all just small bees and life at times can be like the above. We can be faced by the big flower that is life which is beautiful & full of colour and yet still miss out on enjoying it. Humans are strange creatures indeed. It's

Faith

2008-11-21T03:02:00.000+08:00

Hebrews 11:1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.I read a powerful thing in today's devotional reading that resonated deep within me about having faith in God so here's an excerpt that I want to share with everyone."It comes therefore as a shock that these two spheres of human uncertainty (the future and the unseen) are precisely those in which faith

My Uncle Teong

It's been a difficult year. First Connor. Now my Uncle Teong is in ICU. He had two heart attacks this week and my whole family is down in Johore now. The first a mild one on Monday and then the 2nd and more severe one somewhere in the middle of the week.Seeing him was sad and they are much more stricter here. I held his hand for a bit and as I think about it now I just didn't know what to say to

Celebrating DisciplineI'm such a slow reader these days but you know what? It doesn't matter anymore to me how fast or slow I read something. Perhaps I'm getting older. Perhaps I'm just beginning to understand that life isn't just about being fast and it isn't just about getting to the destination. But whatever it is I'm certainly taking my time to read through "Celebration of Discipline" by

Non Weekend ... Almost

It's a Prepaid ThingIt's been an almost non-weekend. Been working on stuff for Happy most of the weekend in between jaunts in the wasteland that is Fallout 3. At least I had the game to keep me somewhat sane even as I worked so hard on the stuff that we need to get out to the client. The past few weeks have been crazy and work has just been full up with multiple projects on top of this one.

Doing What's in Our Hearts ... and Iron Man?

2008-10-12T15:44:00.000+08:00

I've been continuing my reading of "Celebration of Discipline" and there was a part in Chapter 2 that caught me about the doubts we have in our heart when we commune with God. I have made a lot of difficult decisions in life based on a feeling of what God is saying to me and I suppose I wouldn't have it any other way. Sometimes I wonder if it's just me but there are many times when I find myself

Just watched my brand new Region 1 copy of "The Devil Wears Prada" and it's such a great movie.

What's really awesome is that there is a 2nd opinion from an oncologist in Tung Shin that suggests it could be a lung infection. We don't know for certain really until they can do another CT scan next week. In the mean

Caught Clone Wars in the cinema on my own ... it was freezing but all in all it was a good afternoon of Jedi, Sith, Clone Troopers and Droids battling out over alien landscapes.Made it to church too (although I sadly missed the entire worship) and heard a really awesome sermon

I had some toys from the franchise when I was about 5 or 6. I remember this huge Boba Fett that I had (which has inexplicably gone missing) and a 6inch Luke Skywalker in Cloud City garb.

"Keep Moving Forward"Cornelius RobinsonI just can't get the simple motto that drives Disney's "Meet The Robinsons" out of my head. "Keep Moving Forward". It makes so much sense. I don't know if it's biblical or not but it makes a lot of sense to me today to not be trapped by the past.I know it's not easy to forget the past. Painful experiences. Mistakes. These things make us the people we are

What are we but human beings? What are but just people who want a life for ourselves? Self-centred that's what we are ... it's something that has been bothering me a lot even as I struggle with myself. This is the question that I find myself asking; "Are we so caught up with ourselves that we fail to look at the world around us?"I just finished watching Blood Diamond a few minutes ago. Seeing the

It's been a long but fruitful week of adjusting to work at UberFusion. It's great having structure now in my life. And it is such a blessing to have a stable source of income that is more than sufficient for life in the big city. More than that is the fact that I feel very at home in my new place of work. It feels as if I've been there all my life and I really do thank God for this job and also

"Welcome back to the jungle" That's what's running through my mind this morning. After having been out on my own with Oops! Asia & Four Forty Records it'll be strange and a BIG BIG adjustment to going back to working for someone.Juwita & I have been mulling over the finances of Four Forty Records and how to alleviate the financial strain on our "baby". Being a young start-up we've gone far but

Blog Clean-up And Easter Sunday HappeningsMua ha ha ha ha! I spent the past 1 or 2 hours cleaning up all the posts on my Multiply account and tagging everything more cleanly. Everything's spick & span now. As you can see from the tags on the homepage; the blog's gonna be more streamlined now for easy access to topics of interest. A blessed Easter to everyone of the Christian faith as we celebrate

Tony DiTerlizziOh my!Tony DiTerlizzi is one of my favourite fantasy illustrators. I have quite a few 3rd Edition D&D manuals that I bought 4 or 5 years ago that have quite a fair bit of his artwork in there. I love great art and DiTerlizzi's style is phenomenal. There's a magical & whimsical quality to his pieces and it's a shame that I had almost forgotten about him till I watched the credits at

Anger ManagementI've been thinking a lot about anger and in my own experience of it not much good comes out of it. When I'm angry I get riled up and for the most part unable to think straight or see reason. The worst part I guess is how prolonged anger & bitterness can affect one's health.Forgiving someone for hurting us is tough. It's taken me 3 years to work through my issues and at times it

Indiana Jones is Back!I am so stoked. I just checked out the trailer for the upcoming Indiana Jones movie and just hearing the strains of the theme song & seeing the fedora in the opening few seconds got me going. Indiana Jones certainly brings back a lot of fond childhood memories and the whole high adventure magic of movies. Harrison Ford looks really good ... I must say that when I heard of

2008-03-09T12:26:00.000+08:00

Ha ha! I can't believe I've been sitting down here all afternoon just watching Kyle XY after getting back from Bentong after voting. It's my birthday today and yes I turn 30 today. I celebrated it some last night with my parents and we had dinner which was really nice.Today is quiet; nothing special but I will be having friends over to just kick back and play video games. Um ... that and getting

One Life REVOLUTION

2008-03-06T11:42:00.000+08:00

Doorway to AwarenessI was at an AIDS awareness campaign today organised by World Vision called One Life Revolution that was very unique. It's different in sense that it doesn't just talk about symptoms or how you get AIDS but it's a sort of sensory experience that walks you through the life of a victim. Pretty powerful stuff. The One Life Revolution experience is on from today till 8th March in

The Top 5 Thank List (5th Mar 08)

2008-03-04T19:42:00.000+08:00

Here's this week's Top 5 Thank List:Thank God for all the strength that I had to do all that had to be done for my best friend's wedding on the 1st of March. It was an awesome wedding and I had loads of fun despite all the things that I helped manage that day. The dance & the speech was super fun ... thank God we looked cool during the opening dance during the dinner even though we couldn't make

Caught Up

2008-02-25T04:45:00.000+08:00

I've been reading the Bible a lot daily since 2008 started and it's been refreshing to be able to delve again into God's Word without feeling angry at Him or sullen. I was just reading Mark 4 and verses 18 & 19 stood out to me. It goes exactly like this ...Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other

And the Winner is ...

2008-02-20T07:33:00.000+08:00

It's official! The replacement format to current gen DVDs is ... Wait for it ... *drum roll please*Sony's Blu-ray media! Announcements have been flooding the internet and my first news of it just came in over CNET. Boy! Am I glad I got me a PlayStation3 cos' there is a huge difference in terms of picture quality over DVD. But then again not every movie deserves a Blu-ray purchase I suppose. DVD

My Dog RoseI haven't yet introduced all of ya'll to my doggy Rose! My family got her as a puppy when I was in my 2nd year in varsity. When she first came to us she looked adorably like a small polar bear. Her fur was not as speckled with black as she is now and it was pure white with just the black patch on her left eye.Anyways, we didn't get to name her cos' my cousins already named her Rose

The Top 5 Thank List (11th Feb 08)

2008-02-11T04:35:00.000+08:00

My friend Raz keeps this regular list of things to be thankful of that she updates on a regular basis. I was just thinking about it this morning as I was meditating on what I read in my daily devotional reading and I guess now's a good a time as any to learn how to be grateful for the good things I've been blessed with.It's so easy to look at other things and to covet what others have. It's even

Vote for Altered Frequency on Fly FM's Campur Chart!!!

2008-02-10T17:33:00.000+08:00

Hey guys,Altered Frequency's new single "Beyond Now" has just been released on Fly FM and we need all your help to spread the word to get it climbing on the their weekly Campur Chart! At the same time it'd be great if you made the effort to request for the song at as many radio stations as you can to help us get the song into rotation (that includes Fly FM as well).I'll be making the rounds to

The SWITCHFOOT Experience

2008-02-02T18:26:00.000+08:00

That blur right there is Mr Jon Foreman ... of Switchfoot!The Switchfoot concert that just ended an hour ago was an awesome one. The band had a full sound and their keyboardist Jerome added a lot to the music. I never thought much of keyboards but now that I'm older I see the error of my ways. Ha ha!In case you guys don't know (I didn't at first), Switchfoot is made up of (drum roll please) ...

Switchfoot Live in KL!!!

2008-02-01T19:20:00.000+08:00

It really is an exciting time to be in Four Forty Records. A whole bunch of things are happening this year, and in a sense we start off with a bang cos' Altered Frequency the rockers in our family will be opening in a couple of hours for Switchfoot!!!The boys were asked to attend a press conference over at Sri Pentas and I came along to make contacts and at the same time see what I could do to

Hap ... hap ... Happy Birthday Raz!

2008-01-30T04:25:00.000+08:00

Today's blog entry is dedicated to my friend Razlin (check out her Multiply page here). Raz, is a good friend and it's great that not all my friends are Chinese. It's kinda uncool that most of the time most Malaysians hang out mostly with our own ethnic groups rather than having a mixed group of friends.Razlin is one of the prettiest, sweetest and gentlest persons I know. She's got a great zest

Living Below One's Means

2008-01-26T18:31:00.000+08:00

Money, money, moneyMoney. Don't we all just love money? I for one know that I do love it to an extent. Money affords us a lot of things but today I learnt that money is meant to build up our families (especially when you're the head of one) and also to build up others. Not that it's wrong to buy nice things for ourselves but if that's all is we're doing with our money then I guess perhaps there's

Perspective

2008-01-23T19:03:00.000+08:00

I was thinking about writing about this yesterday and filed the idea away in my brain so here it is ... I got up pretty early on Tuesday and was getting ready to settle into my daily routine of reading the Bible & writing in my journal when my mom calls me to let me know that she & dad are on the way to my apartment and they wanna have breakfast together.Anyways, to cut a long story short ... I

It's been a crazy few weeks and January is already half-way through. I've been super busy juggling freelance work while at the same thing doing my utmost to make things work for Four Forty Records. 3 major things are happening right now ... getting more publicity for Liang, Juwita's upcoming participation in a major singing competition and Altered Frequency opening for Switchfoot. There's just so

End-Year 07 Movie Mania

2008-01-04T07:35:00.000+08:00

I've been going crazy on movies for a bit over the end year season and I haven't had time to write about any of em' due to a busy schedule with Children's Church in DUMC. The kids did an awesome job with the play and 13 of em' even appeared on the 8TV Quickie Christmas eve special. I've got some pix but my iBook sorta gave problems and now I don't have iPhoto anymore. Bummer. Anyways here are my

Never After

2007-12-05T19:36:00.000+08:00

I came out of Enchanted today wishing that love was as simple as the silver screen makes it out to be. All of us want to love and want to be loved but as time goes by we develop lists and other things to complicate things. Sigh ... Shouldn't love be about caring for that other person and wanting to be the best person you can be for him or her? Shouldn't it be about looking into that person and

What is Love?

2007-11-26T19:32:00.000+08:00

I've been thinking a lot about being in love and how easy it is to fall in love with someone we've made up in our minds. A part of me wonders just how much I truly know about a person before I fall in love with her. How much of it is made up? How much of it really is her? How much of me is blinded by the attraction that I feel and the deep need to be attached? Attraction and character don't

2007-11-19T19:29:00.000+08:00

Emotional "Flashing"Is it rude to over-expose what one is feeling even if it's something as public & voluntary as a blog? Does it greatly damage the reputation of the person who is baring his heart and soul? The Bible says this in 1 Corinthians 10:23-24.1 Corinthians 10:23-24"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is

The Long & Lonely RoadI had a pretty long day today, was up at around 7:30am and spent the better part of the day in church at a leaders planning from 9:00am all the way till 2:00pm. Then I caught Lions for Lambs with my brother, his cell leader Jac & her boyfriend Alvin. But the kicker came in the evening when I hung out with some of my old Varsity Christian Fellowship mates in UM and wow ...

Slow Burning Music?

2007-11-14T19:23:00.000+08:00

Do you know what it's like to feel like you have a raging anger in you that's on slow burn? As it simmers ... it continues to fuel you and then at the wrong time & wrong place it'd just explode. That's what it feels like for me. I feel like I'm on this timer that threatens to overwhelm me when not kept in check. It's damn frustrating to feel so stuck and trying hard to get unstuck but not really

2007-11-10T11:32:00.000+08:00

ControlIt's been awhile since I last put up a blog post. I've not been feeling like writing anything lately but that's cos' I'm pretty busy with the Children's Church Christmas party helping the kids out in the play. I am so glad that I'm able to put my creative thinking cap on.Anyways, I've been thinking a lot about control and how much we (we as in we humans) want so much to be in control of

Parenting 101I just got a taste of what it's like to be a DAD over the past 6 days. Gosh! It is difficult! I'm sure all you parents must be laughing your head off to read this! *grins*I've always loved kids and for some weird reason I've always wanted to have some of my own for the longest time. Strange thing for a guy to say huh? There's just something about passing on something about me to my

It has oh so been a hectic week and I've got a lot to finish up tomorrow before I leave for Cambodia on Wednesday. What? Cambodia again? Well ... this time it's more of a favour as I'm taking Kenneth & Yin Meng's kids back cos' they can't fly unaccompanied by an adult. Err ... so yup ... I'm officially an adult now, I guess forgot to read the operating manual that came with me at birth. Lots to

As I sit here at 11:37pm my mind ponders the events of recent months. How much I wanted to just let things slide but yet listened to the darkness within me that wanted revenge and wanted to hold on to anger because of my so called rights. In the calmness that I occassionally have I realise that I am still in love. But what is love that is not reciprocated?I find myself being assailed by the

Forgiveness

2007-09-21T19:25:00.000+08:00

In the past few months I've been working through a whole lot of anger & bitterness in my heart. I know that the best thing for me to do is to forgive her for hurting me so much but forgiveness is not the easiest thing to do. Today I had my very first online conversation with her. It was brief but I think I got a bit more pain out of my system by speaking to the very person who hurt me. What I

Hectic-ity, Guitar Hero II & Relationships?It's been a pretty hectic few weeks and almost all of us were busy helping out Jac & Shawn on their big day. It was a beautiful wedding and even though all of us were so busy it was a joyous event. I must say that even though I was helping out a lot I felt super loved by my cell members. It was an honour really to be given a seat at the main table and I

Quik Customer ServiceI'm writing with some glowing praise for customer service that I've gotten recently right here in Malaysia. I gave Panasonic a call last week about my TV which was on the blink and guess what? They responded almost immediately and just this week on Monday, the technician dropped by and made off with the innards of my 29-inch Tau Giga TV.My TV! It looks healthy doesn't it?Not
