Calvary youth camp 08 was a blast

before the camp i was seeking God for a time of refreshing and renewal, and He is faithful.

It wasn't necessarily an emotional or overly hyped up experience, but one thing's for sure. God showed up. And it's interesting to note that the presence of God and hype don't have to go hand in hand. He can do mighty things in the midst of His people regardless of the emotional 'atmosphere' we're in.

I think the greatest encouragement was seeing the seemingly young and inexperienced committee turn around and emerge successful with the organisation of the camp. of course there were glitches and unexpected issues, but they pulled through and learned the lessons needed to be learnt. WELL DONE guys. so proud of all of you..

but somehow there was one concern lingering on my mind. camp somehow felt a little like a whole bunch of different people with different responsibilities and focus thrown together into a large pot that just wouldn't mix. there wasn't that CALVARY YOUTH spirit there. or at least it wasn't as evident as it could have been. it's like.. instead of getting a uniform mix, there was a whole bunch of insoluble liquids separated from each other.. quite funny to notice actually, and it somewhat affected the general unity i think. but all this is my opinion.

there were the newbies, the young ones, the people in charge, there were those serving and busy here and there, the cooler ones who always seemed more prominent, there were the visitors who clung to each other, and of course the loners who were always alone.. the weird ones who just couldn't get along with anyone.. and the emo ones who refused to talk to anyone..

got me thinking quite a bit..

but as i said
camp was a BLAST

three not so awesome... yet.... three TOTALLY awesome days... *grins*.. ;)

time to reflect

it's christmas time.

funny though, december as set in five days into the month already. Maybe it's just me but i don't feel very much in a christmas mood this year. Some how there seems to be a lack of.. umm.. how do you describe it.. stuff happening? i was thinking about it and i's probably a combination of a few things..

1. i'm growing up (old)... sigh..
   
2. no big musical this year
3. been so so busy with other stuff haven't really had time to get into the season
   

but i was just sitting arounf thinking this morning. And a really nice thought came to my head. Ain't it so so awesome that the whole POINT of christmas isn't the mood or the festivity of it all? i mean no matter how much celebration and fun you see all around you, you will never experience christmas until you SEE beyond all that hype and activity..

and i'm so glad that EVERY year i've had one of these moments like today. when i suddenly REALISE the incredible depth of this celebration, that GOD became a MAN. and his name is Emmanuel.


Come to bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord our new born King

GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO

and HE did it

i serve a GOD who does MIRACLES and he did it again TODAY!!

THE ODE

when it seems like all else has failed.. and there's nearly no reason to be joyful

i will choose to sing of JOY

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne! Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen, und freudenvollere. Freude! Freude!
Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Wir betreten feuertrunken, Himmlische, dein Heiligtum! Deine Zauber binden wieder Was die Mode streng geteilt; Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Wem der große Wurf gelungen, Eines Freundes Freund zu sein; Wer ein holdes Weib errungen, Mische seinen Jubel ein! Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund! Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!
Freude trinken alle Wesen An den Brüsten der Natur; Alle Guten, alle Bösen Folgen ihrer Rosenspur. Küße gab sie uns und Reben, Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod; Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben, Und der Cherub steht vor Gott.
Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan, Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn, Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.
Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen. Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen? Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt? Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt! Über Sternen muß er wohnen.
Seid umschlungen, Millionen! Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Brüder, über'm Sternenzelt Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen. Seid umschlungen, Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt! Freude, schöner Götterfunken Tochter aus Elysium, Freude, schöner Götterfunken

the ease of discouragement

it's really easy to give up when it seems like everyone else wants to.

it's easy to wanna join the rest of the crowd in walking away when it conveniently seems like an appropriate time to.

but who am i to desert that which i've been called to?

is it in our position to decide where and when we wanna walk out of ministry and give up?

when it seems so hopeless where we have been placed, should we just let it go and leave for a better place(or at least what looks to be a better place)?

i have to admit, i'm not free of such thoughts.. but the God we worship, is it not the God they worship?

is it LOW ENOUGH to be like a bottle of shampoo??

"oh, i don't really like this smell anymore.. let's go buy another one.."
"this one more convenient la.. save petrol"

"i need one with anti dandruff"
"i need one with people who actually smile.. here they're so much more friendly"

"i dunno, but lately this one really makes my scalp itch, i wanna try sunsilk"
"i really can't take the way they're doing this.. i don't feel COMFORTABLE here"


and at the end of all this thoughts.. one big question... when i think of such things.. WHAT or WHO am i really thinking about?? ME?? MYSELF?? I??

but then of course i realise that it's NOT AT ALL about me.. that's not what we are called to.. who am i to make such a selfish decision??

some promo and a book

calvary church music and creative arts Kids CAT will be presenting a musical on December 6... and its called.. :) HOTEL BETHLEHEM. heh..

and i'm doing promo for them. becausee.. i'm playing.. so.. if you've got little cousins or friends or nieces or nephews, especially those who have not had an opportunity to hear the good news of our Saviour's birth, please DO invite them!

it's a story of the inn in bethlehem and how the peeps running it were so stuck up and all that they were completely oblivious to the significance of a birth in the stable. and whatever not.. quite fun.. if not for the slightly corny lines here and there heh.. whoops.. this is a promo. :p

so YEAH, come join the fun.. not you old farts.. i'm talking to the kids *grins*


and as for the music.. it's gonna be live, or at least most of it, cos we don't have a second keyboardist :( .. so.. what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna lay an extra track in the keyboard with all the funny effects and the other more random instruments (i.e. strings, mandolin, folk guitar, brass, and all that crap.. oh yeah.. and the orch hit too.. like that sound!!) and that track will play along with us.. heh.. so cool right?? just means then, that we've got to be really accurate and no stupid mistakes.. pressure!

oh.. and there's this book i'm just staring on . it's called the HOST.. science fiction, not my type, but i think it'll be worth trying, i'm sure i'll like it.. heh. :)

the miracle of who i am

i'm on holiday now. and it's good. because then i have time. Time to go sit in the mamak for breakfast and not have to rush home or to uni or to the music school for something or other. and it's AWESOME. because then i have time to think. about everything.

and i realised today that i am a living, breathing miracle. everything i have today is a miracle of who HE is in my life. that all those years ago, and all along the way, every single seemingly unrelated event has fallen in place perfectly in place to make me exactly where i am today. and until now with each day i see all these little things fit in squarely to a masterful work of art, set against so much more wonder around us, that we fail to stop and notice everyday.

it's on days like this that i stand, humbled, a creation.. a work of love. of the Creator.

received a full offer from MONASH university Australia. under normal circumstances, the faculty in melbourne would have to consider my current semester results. but once again, a miracle. the maxis scholarship closing date is 30 NOV.. but my results will only be released 29 NOV. and if melbourne did not grant me this full offer i couldn't never hope to apply for the scholarship.

there... another miracle..

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush aflame with God.
But only those who see take off their shoes.
The rest sit around and pluck blackberries.

a taste of rest

exams are over.. unspeakable relief. It is impossible to explain that awesome sensation that you get everytime the summer break is here. And i'm so glad it's all over. And now, that much LEss stress

but still.. less doesn't mean none at all eh? it's funny how when you have ONE very important thing on your mind, you tend to push aside other, seemingly less urgent matters and when that ONE thing is settled, everything else comes crashing down on you like an avalanche. scary!

so here's what. these next few weeks.. one step at a time

1. CERC musicians
2. Maxis scholarship
3. PIano replacement classes for the students
4. fix my car
5. hotel bethlehem (the kids musical... super lame i tell you)
6. minus one for the WTE
7. leather clean up for my mum and dad's car
8. and a whole bunch of other more minute stufff....

and WE'RE HAVING YOUTH CAMP... woohoo... :)


*those three sleepless nights.. they were terrible. but i've learned a lot these three days. and i've grown up. and you looked so beautiful today.. everyday.. always an angel. thanks for everything.. i couldn't ask for more.. and i couldn't give more.. I LOVE YOU *


eh EMMY.. i shall post about your birthday soon.. heh.. waiting for the video to go on youtube

the winds of change

Throughout the campaigning period of this recent American presidential election, the main topic in the air was one of change. And today America has got what they've been asking for.

Once a senator, now the president of the richest, wealthiest and most powerful nation on the face of the globe. Barrack Obama

God let Your fear and wisdom guide him.


we open our hearts and our lives to you o God
create within us a servant heart so thet we can share Your love
When all hope has been lost, may your Spirit bring new life
To those in need bring prosperity and through darkness shine your light

We pray for the city we live in
We pray that our sins be forgiven
Do your will right here as in heaven
Father we call an your name

at long last

lewis hamilton won the Formula one Driver's championship on sunday in what was probably one of the most dramatic finishes to a formula one Season since the inception of the sport. At the very last corner, as if by some divine miracle (even with felipa massa's camp initating their celebrations) the worn tyres on timo glock's toyota finally gave way and allowed hamilton passage through to take 5th place and the DRIVER's championship by a single point.

The penalties both in Fuji, and Spa-Franchorchamps were unfair. But there's ONE who's always fair.. and as Hamilton said in his own words.. i "thank GOD" but this victory, to me.. is more than lewis being the youngest and first black world champion.

it's about vindication. For a team sidelined for the last 9 years (it's been a long time since the great Mika Hakkinen), sunday was a day to remember, and in reliving the ghost of the old WEST MClaren mercedes.. Hamilton brought vindication to the team. Ron dennis and all. nursing the MP4-23.. that mighty 700 horsepower engine at full throttle past the finish line at 310 kmh. An unforgettable moment spelling redemption for a team that deserved every bit of the glory.

and now at Woking england, just a few miles away from the legendary silverstone track, let the celebrations begin..

oh, and nicole scherzinger dear... now you can REALLY be proud of your man!

bravo Mc Laren! (and a certain mr bruce smiled in the heavens)

the pinnacle of engineering perfection

growing up

growing up sucks. Even at an ole fart age like mine. I thought everything was worked out, but i was wrong. And it's impossible to simply dismiss the fact that at every level of my life, there's always more growing up to do. you'd think that once you reach the stage of strictly planning for the future, you'd be matured enough. But the status quo never rests. And things happen, against your own convictions.

It's funny how you can be so hard hit at the period in which you consider yourself the most invulnerable. When you believe that your defences are the most impregnable, watch out!! And i am having to teach myself that painful lesson now.

Everything that i HAVE and i AM is not my own. i am Yours.

i am a flower quickly fading
here today and gone tomorrow
a wave tossed on the ocean
still you hear me when i'm calling
LORD you catch me when i'm falling
and you showed me who i am
i am yours

youth lg outing

on saturday afternoon for the life group outings, we decided to go bowling with brian siew's group at cineleisure. So we met up in church, had worship and got ready to leave.. some random pics from jamie's camera


when we got there, brian's group was still missing in action (we later found out they were taking photos with the "weird creatures" downstairs).. so ian yun.. managed to figure out, how to get the balls out of the foosball machine.. i tell you he's a genius!! and we had a few rounds.. some were embarrased (own goals) and some emerged triumphant.. heh.. sadly i don't have any photos of the cineleisure leg of our outing (jamie left the camera in the car *slaps her*
and have'nt got brian's photos yet)

All of it (the bowling) was fun, except for the fact that i was fighting with jamie for the bottom score on the leaderboard. *tsk tsk* oh gosh.. they were like, "karl, you know you can try holding the ball between your legs and just let it go from there, it MIGHt just go straight that way". had fun till like around 6 and then we left for dinner at SS2murni. my first time there. on the way, jamie caught a photo of me SMSing while driving.. apparently i had a very EMO look. i wonder why.. heh.. . hence this...

the place we had dinner at..


wei chin grinning..


they asked yih khai to pose.. and he came up with this.. looked as though he'd got a bowl of cream he was about to fling at the camera.. sheeshh..


yong zhi wen and ian..


dunno what they were trying to prove.. esp darren, " oh w


here's a shot of darren holding the RECEIPT he collected for loosing his parking ticket (that for stealing my place dude!!!hahaha) i tell you, i have no idea how he lost it.. we were paying the ticket together and next moment when we got into my car he called, eh... karl.. just now you
took my parking ticket ah?? i had to refrain.... :P life group leader!! hehehehe...


and this was the inscription on it..

julia and alvin

chew, myself, jamie and ben ong (ee laine, you're SO right about chew man.. the dude can't smile for nuts... :P)


ben ong and julia

another one of yih khai's random poses


after dinner walked to the CD shop nearby to find a movie to watch..



and following that left for julia's place.. at which point darren decided he was in the mood for some hyundai sonata.. scary ride it was, having someone else drive your MUm's car.. (my myvi was stuck at home due to a power cut.. couldn't open the gate). here's a photo of them posing outside the house with Alvin's car coming right up the road about to mow them down.. but did they care?? ..... ...

watched football (darren's completely undigestable excuse was that we should "wait for wei chin before we started the movie" yeah right.. more like he wanted to watch man u draw at everton!!! woohoo!!!) i left after that cos i had lotsa stuff to do at home..

it was an awesome day.. and i had fun with u guys.. love my life group!!!

oh and to all you peeps celebrating the festival of lights today.. HAPPY DEEPAVALI AND HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH YOUR FAMILIES!!

LINZ

these few days have been quite a challenge. Getting to grips with the fact that my exams are three days away. I take my hat off to emmy, who has been at work since last MONDAY! during which time i was still at work on completing my final assignment, she was well into the exam studying phase. So now you have an idea of how FAR off track i am! it's so scary k emmy! studying in church.. with her big "ROAD MAP TO LIFE".. she probably really enjoyed all the questions asked.. heh.. ( and now i'll be lucky to keep my head on my shoulders :P)

SO.... had to salvage every moment these past two days...

was Studying very hard indeed this morning, electromechanics. Oh goSH! what in the world! servo motors, actuators, system modelling, transfer functions, and all that crap.. my brain was about to dissolve into nothingness when i decided it was time for some mozart...

and I JUST HAVE TO BLOG THIS..

it was such an awesome feeling. like i had been sitting in a sauna with a cloth, and someone suddenly let me out into the fresh air. what would i do without mozart.. .

it was the linz symphony no 36 in C major. and what's so amazing, is that he wrote the symphony in a matter of just 2 weeks. with every movement he has found away to maintain a stunningly delicate and lovely balance with such incredible ease. how does a man do that? every instrument comes in just at the right time, all the harmonic tension is resolved at just the perfect place..

i was telling mabel, no wonder mozart is IQ boosting. it was an unforgettable experience, all alone in my room. and to think that these guys of along ago have left behind such a vivid mark of unsurpassed excellence and musical perfection that till today, few composers have managed to attain. and it is only fair that i give mozart the fair homage that he is due.

Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele.
Seinem auf dem erdenrund!!

civil war

on sunday morning before first service the whole bunch of us, we were sitting in the music room talking crap. And so i decided to try to work on the opening number for the dinner. And it was only then that i realised that the intro, with the falling fifths sounded like some American civil war phreaking FUNERAL!!

why didn't i notice it earlier.. crap, and now that it's already been scored up and the brass musicians have practiced it we're so gonna need to do a salvage operation! i think i'm gonna have to tell then to play con ANIMATO!.. or else it could be con GRAVE... *shivers*

it's a celebration guys... let's make it sound like a horn cry... not some funeral... *scratches his head*

but then at least the rest of the opening is okay.. just need to figure out what to do with the first few progressions.



this is an image of the modeling we've been working on lately..



DESIGN ASSIGNMENT 2... supposed to design, well, anything.. so we decided to design an industrial continuous lift. lots of calculations... 39 PAGES to be exact... just calculations alone mind you, minus all the hours spent on modeling and simulation and brainstorming.. this is the frame and shafts with the sprockets and their welds in place. dun have the chains and the platforms yet.. gotta figure out how to insert those..

the emmy post

hello world!!!

Time to make karl's blog a little bit more interesting... :)
erm.. alrighty... I honestly don't know what to write...

oh okay, I just wanna say that karl and I really don't have a life.. (if you don't already know.. lol)
both of us are staying in uni until 11pm tonight..

WHY???????

Karl's reason: some project which he didn't bother to finish up earlier ;) .. so now he has to be a bit more rajin to finish it up since the project is due TOMORROW!!!!

My reason: I have a "plan".. A timetable to help with the revision... but since I'm so easily distracted at home.. I've decided to study in uni... Apparently I get more things done here.. APPARENTLY being the key word!

okay, time to get back to my book.. cellular metabolism to be precise... karl is bugging me for the com... I have no idea why he's bugging me.. since there are like SOOOOO many coms in the COM LAB... sheesh...

oh and btw, I would like to take this opportunity to thank karl for allowing me to crap on his blog! THANK YOU VERY MUCH KARL!!!

see ya folks!

Emmy

p/s: I will NEVER blog again!

the limit of proportionality

Any simple minded first year engineering student would immediately recognise this as a typical ENGINEERING STRESS STRAIN curve

yes, that's right, it's got to do with the tensile stresses applied to an object and the corresponding strain that it produces

if my emotional state were a specimen test subject, i'd be somewhere near POINT no2. why? cocs point no 2 is called the limit of proportionality, and it is very closely related to the YIELD STRESS!!
that's where an object begins to undergo plastic deformation after reaching it's limit of proportionality..

why the analogy? cos finally i've said yes, i've agreed, on certain terms to playing for the dinner, only the most necessary parts. i thought i was gonna stand my ground... oh well, yielding point came first. i decided it's the only way lest i end up at point no 3.. know what THAT IS???

the ultimate tensile stress....

that's where a material breaks.... or

in my case

i drop dead...

and i've decided i will survive these next three weeks... God's there. and boy am i glad HE is.




i've yielded

pressure

The 4oth anniversary dinner is coming up


And i've been asked to play for the opening number which i arranged. And i can't, i just can't. there's just too many things for me to handle and if i were to take this on, it would probably the last straw to signing me out with a burnout. I mean, i've said no so many times and it's so hard. the problem is, i understand how difficult it is what with everyone so busy and caught up at this time of the year.

I thought it was over the first time i said no. but they managed to come up with some very workable solutions, but still it was too risky and seemingly volatile a decision to make, and not wanting to sacrifice the time i needed for my studies i said no again. Then this time it was a change in rehearsal time to accommodate me.. and yet for some reason i couldn't see light at the end of the tunnel so i've said no again.

And by this point on monday night i was beginning to feel really rotten. I mean there's help needed, why is it i can't just go and give it? quite simple really, because my exam starts the very next morning after the dinner.

then Mabel (best friend) called.. "eh Karl, i heard the recording of the opening number you orchestrated. Cannot understand lah.. quite complicated. we REALLY need you to come play... you're gonna have to tell them what to do and all".

sigh.. i'm at a loss now..

hari raya

before i talk about anything else, it is unavoidable that i have to thank God for a wonderful time like Hari Raya, (some like to call it Harry reyer). SImply because of the AWESOME traffic in klang valley during this festive period. GOSH bliss!! imagine this, cruising at 110 for a straight 10 km along the federal highway, yes guys, the phreaking FEDERAL highway! how lovely is that.. LOVE HARI RAYA!!


So, yesterday the life groups of kota kemuning decided to get together for a barbecue evening at my house.. brian chong came along and my parents invited ruth too..

Jasmine's dad, James and my dad and myself, three of us got the fire started. and by 7 pm
this was one of the two pits that we had, and one of the ladies brought a funny hot plate thingie for frying stuff. quite cool. and here they were cooking the shrimps
it was still early, so there weren't relly that many peeps yet.. here's a shot taken from behind the pond. :)
brian and i.. and the lamb.. oh gosh.. it was awesome lamb!!
the piece that i was about to devour.. with a little bit of improvisation by ruth..
to give it some.. what should we say, character!!
there's this kid.. his name's eu wayne, and he just loves to bully me.. seriously.. so he wanted to take a photo and asked me to make a face, so i pulled all the stops for this.. after that, he just said "eh karl, looks like you lah.. are you sure you even made a face??" (ARRGGH!! the urge to strangle. but he's cute.)
here's his sister.. lovely violinist.. eu nise.. you're too shy though.. heh..
they took out the dining table.. and the kids were having makan there.. here they are.. mouths full of barbecue..
another two who couldn't get off me.. literally.. gosh.. i am seriously quite impatient with kids.. but i fail miserably when i try to get angry.. and they think it's all a joke.. Here's a photo i took with ruth

And denise.. :)


these two again.. couldn't keep them off the piano.. ("eh eh.. i can play THIS!!" "hah!! i'm better than you!") pheww.. asian kids.. kiasu... =P they are cousins btw..

whacky band

I should've posted this on wednesday night after practice.. but i was busy. so yeah.

Every week on wednesday nights calvary church DH musicians get together for our Sunday morning rehearsals. So, we had practice on wednesday. And it was totally THUMPING FUN!!!!!

under normal circumstances i wouldn't ever bother blogging about a rehearsal, i mean how boring is that? but.. this one was different man. Everyone was caught in the groove that night! what with all the head banging and "gorenging" and whatever not.. it's so rare that we're all in that very musical mood and everything just fell into place. We were like coming up with all these random ideas as we went along and it all just worked out.. AWESOME!!. but of course the main big idiots are as follows

NUTTY BASSIST : ADRIAN CHEW

WHACKED OUT DRUMMER : TAN SE KEN

DOWNRIGHT ECCENTRIC KEYBOARDIST : KARL EDWARD

of course there was daniel and jan and chern wei. But they all behaved themselves well.. :)

i had so much fun guys!! we should have more outta this world practices like this.. hopefully pastor Steven don't get a mind blowing shock when he sees our arrangements tomorrow.. which i doubt he would.. and that reminds me. i'm gonna go call him now to warn him.. heh!

But what makes me so proud is that these guys, no matter what we do with the music, realise that we're all about worshipping GOD!!

Psalm 138:1 1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; before the "gods" I will sing your praise.


here's a wallpaper that i think sums it up

PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!

i have "the look"

My classmates says that i have a look on my face..it is an expression that i give,very commonly..they call it "the look"..
and every time i give "the look", they would point at me and squeal "Oooo...look look look!!!ruth is giving 'the look' again!!!" and start giggling..
and i will go "what look??" i have got no idea how "the look" on my face looks like..everyone knows what "the look" is, except for me :(
Apparently i give "the look" when my lecturers ask me a question that i can't answer..or i have got no idea what is going on around me..or i don't understand what my friends are trying to tell me..or when my friend gives a crazy statement that completely blows me off..or when i saw something shocking..
Since it is a facial expression that i give unconsciously, it's hard 4 them to explain to me how i look..imitating "the look" and taking pic don't always work..cz "the look" only appears for a few sec..the best solution that they can come up with is....to draw me..

bondi: "i drew u..see???"

monic: "lol, this look exactly like u..it's 'the look' that u always give!!!" *laughs*
bondi:"i totally capture the moment.." *giggling*
ruth: "bt i don't understand, how can this be me????"

monic: "point proven"
i was laughing so hard when i saw that photo bondi took..i can't believe this is how i look..lol..
so this is "the look" my friends have been trying to tell me..

ruth: "y isit so blurr??" (referring to the pic)
monic: "what??the picture or the person??"
ruth : =.='

SO, what is "the look"??? it's ruth's blur look..

bondi - the artist..amazing isn't she??

from left: me..monic..bondi..

my crazy friends..whom i heart..unfortunately :p

roberta and tsun ye

An old school friend of mine had her wedding reception yesterday. And i was invited. Here's the couple.. and the lamp post (myself)



CONGRATS ROBERTA! :) so happy for you

It's so sad that it takes one of us to get married before the whole bunch of us actually get back together. Or maybe it's just me... "karl, you're the one who's been so hard to get!!"


Apparently everyone save myself has over these four years bothered to keep in touch. And i got myself many earfuls for "not being a good friend". But all in all it was done in good light. :) i missed all of you so much. gosh, those days... i miss school.. carefree.

Oh BTW, mabel!! there were extra seats lah.. you should've just come. and it was pretty informal. so you would'nt have like looked out of place or anything.

I learnt a lesson. It's time i started making an effort to keep in touch with these ppl i use to spend my everydays with.. laughing.. joking.. pranking.. studying. being lame.. . getting angry and irritated with.. and everything else that peeps do in school.. so guys.. i hereby promise that i'll NEVER forget you all.. and all the huge number of them who were not there last nite.

IN fact, come to think of it... there weren't very MANY of us there last nite..

anyhoos... PICTURES..

hui sing and soon seng... i actually thought they were together.. n then got laughed at

Qi guangChien yi... after so many years.. you've still got that same sweet smile.. :)

Kah Yin

They were gonna pop the champagne.. note roberta's lookStephen and mabel and ying guo..

THese next few photos. they called them the FACES of karl.. the peeps were talking random shots of me without my knowledge.. like i'm some specimen test subject.. sigh.. i was bored at times.. and they seemed to find it amusing.. and then i found all this in my camera
