THIEF

When I was at home doing my work, two men on a motorcycle stopped beside the fence. My brother thought that they wanted to ask for directions. My brother stared at them for a long time .One thief got down from the motorcycle and took away our rugged T-SHIRT which was hang at our fence.My brother cry out loud and so is my dad. The thief threw the shirt away and ran away with the bike .We are puzzled and asked "why on earth will the thief steal that old shirt?"When my brother went to take a look at that T-shirt, it has the BOSSINI tag on it.After that incident, my dad wears the T-shitrt every week.

Arrgggh... another useless forwarded message. I received many of this kind of e-mail and I hate it because I believe that non of these kind of information is true. Who believe in the Internet? No No. I am not going to forward such message and neither I want to waste my inbox space with these useless piece of information.

I AM WRONG!

But, what if, this is true? What if the poor girl, Tang Kuan Yee is really missing and really need help. So I message Daniel to verify. Daniel replied:

yes she's my classmate, pls spread the news, now as time reli matter, the longer there isn't any news, the slimmer the chances of gettin to her alive... we r very worried for her

thks
Daniel


???!!!

Seriously, I don't know how it feels when my closest goes missing. I can not imagine the horror of not hearing one of my friends or family members for days.

blog search for Miss Tang

Our evil world is ain't merciful to anyone.  Even, riding cab is no longer safe.

Google search

identity crisis

A parcel with my name printed on it reached me via courier service yesterday morning. I ripped the packaged off immediately, and guess what is inside?


MONASH MALAYSIA UNIVERSITY BILL DEMANDING ME TO PAY RM 37 750 in 10 days time.


?!

okay, the fact is, I got an offer to Monash university.

Yup, that is my 1st and (to date) the only birthday present I got for my 21st birthday. (yes, I am complaining.. ~hint ~hint)



I finally officially got an offer from Monash University to their MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) course. I have been confirmed that I am accepted to the course by phone by Monash University about a couple months ago. However, at that time I didn’t feel “secured” because I didn’t receive any” black-and-white” yet. Anyway, I am happy about the offer (plus, unfortunately, with lots of financial hurdles ahead)

I really thank God for His goodness and mercy.

I have not been studying for the pass 2 years after completing Alevel in TARC. This is because I have been turned down by Christian Medical College Vellore India(CMC), National University of Singapore medical school (NUS) and Hong Kong University medical school(HKU). With exceptional to HKU, the others (CMC & NUS), I was shortlisted but turn down at the final part of the selection (which is the interview). In another words, I am last at giving people a good impression.

William Huan, suggested that perhaps I should wear a piece of nice Prada suit during my interview.



Nice suggestion.

But, I guess my failure lies because of I lack of some mental maturity. Even though, I have the good grades, can answer difficult question, or discuss about latest issues; I face a problem: I don't know or not sure with myself.

If the interviewer ask me to say something to describe me, I am not sure what to say. I don't know much about myself. I don't know where I stand and I don't even know my identity.

This may sound funny to you but it is true. I don't aware of this problem until at the end of my 2 'unschooled' years. (How got aware of that? email me to hear the juiciest experience of my life.. hehe)

Again, God has been good to me. seriously and honestly.

As for Monash University interview held few months ago, Wei De and Jeff have really help me a lot with many of their keng tips and advice. But no doubt, the full credit goes to those who have been really praying for me-those from Sabah, Melaka, Penang, KL, Ipoh, Kedah, Johore... etc.

If you have been praying for me, I really thank you. Please continue to pray for me.

This is taken from here.

This slide help us to aware that there is alot of things we can(should) do to help the unfortunate.

Seriously, if we got the luxury to surf the Internet, we are consider rich. We are born rich.

If we do nothing to share our wealth to others, I believe, God will be not hesitate take legal action against us "super-duper detail-ly" at the judgement day. Think of the sheep and goat parable in Matthew 25.

Gtalk

Okay, I am still under the spell of kembang mood. Kembang mood is a kind of euphoric feeling after being very much flattered. Who-knows-who and sounds-familiar, Aiko actually read my blog!?


really miss those college days...

You see, I nicely scored U ( U means ungraded which is worse than E) during my Alevel years for my General Paper in TAR college. That means, in Alevel standard, I am hopeless when comes to writing and I can be rightly diagnosed as graphophobia.

So, I do assume that every post I posted here will readily drive people off. But, lo and behold, someone is actually reading my post.

How motivated. How proud I am! (please forgive my perasansiness ler...) hehe


ganas?

Anyway, my church pastor, Pastor Bruised Lee told me that he had recently brought a 250GB brand new hard disk for his computer. 250GB!? Why should we need that much?

I do not know that we have come to a point that digital storage is never enough.

It used to be that the largest storage we can enjoy is the 1.44 MB 3½-inch floppy-disk where I can store pretty much MS Works documment.

But now, megabytes are never enough for us. In fact, I quickly used up more than 100MB of my hard disk storage just to design a poster for Farlim Evangelistic Seminar. (by the way, if you are happen to be in Penang, please come to the evangelistic seminar.)



You can't do much with something under 2MB these days. Wrong.



Google talk download size is just 1.5MB. That means, this program is super compact small and undoubtly using less of your computer resouces.

But please do not under estimate Gtalk. It is powerful.

Gtalk is:

1) It is small and clean. My computer is pretty old and can't afford to run programs which consume lots of my PC resources.

2) Free. Nothing better than free.

3) Fast. I was "on the phone" with Eric via Gtalk and at the same time, I was heavily downloading lots and lots of mp3. But the talk is seamless and there is lack of interuption. I bet, Gtalk is better than Skype - at least, in my own opinion.

4) Can email offline voicemail. I enjoy this feature. Instead of tediously typing a long letter emailing to your friend, with Gtalk, you can just talk by send your voice over email easily.

wanna try? gimme your email, and I will send my voice over. But, I guess, it work best if you got a gmail.

the power of music

.


I hold firm to the believe that music can powerfully influence a listener. By listening to music it can potentially shape, our emotion, believe and intelect.

Kai Yoon, my ex-Alevel coursemate, which I only manage to talk to her online after about a year after both of us completed Alevel. I didn't even talk to her in the real world before face to face. Yup, that is how hopeless I am. I am the by-product of the internet-obsessed generation who is totally nuts on making the first move to start making friends.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is Christine sent me a youtube clip link on David Phelps.

While I don't like some of his song, but I have to admit few sang by him is really beautiful.

By David:



This song is really really beautiful sang by David Phelps. I really enjoy every bit of it.

But let me highlight the fact that some of the audience keep wiping their tears off while listening to David Phelps. It is amazing on somehow music able to stimulate our tears gland to start working.

O Holy Night by David Phelps:


Notice one of the comment post by regarding to this clip:
Even though I'm not a christian anymore, there's something about David's voice that always pulls me back to gospel music. Simply superb!


Isn't that amazing how powerful is music which can even able pulls to a faith or believe?

But what worries me is the music which promotes immorality and bad influence which is so popular and able to shape the believe system of the huge community.

the three 1/3 statistics

I am troubled by this 3 statistic I learn recently

1) According to a report by UN that 1/3 women in the world have been violently or sexually abused at least one point in their life.

2) 1/3 (up from 1/4 previously) of Malaysia population will eventually be diagnosed of cancer

3) George Barna reported that 1/3 kids 8 to 12 years want to spend more time with their parents
