GOD- Great on Degrading.

Yesterday while I was at my church's main service, the youth's were going to present an item. The pastor's son, Jeremy had written a song "In This Land" and it was a great song. Not less nor more.

But what I want to give you a glimpse of our society isn't found in the song, rather it was the people who were seating behind me. One, in fact there's two of them, were talking among themselves and wondered who was the guy who presented that item. Then one of them said it was Pastor's Kok Aun's son.

"OH MY GOD!!! It is him!! Wow, MY GOD, he has grown so tall".

"Yeah, he even sounds and act like his father, OH MY GOD."

Great, now people are using God's name in vain not only in public, but in his Sanctuary??? God's name is holy, it is his name that commanded evil spirits out of people, it is his name that the lame can walk, the deaf can hear and people are saved to meet him in heaven. All because of his holy name.

Did you know? Back in the times of Ancient Israel, anyone who uses God's name in vain will be punished....to death by stoning. Yes, that is how serious the offence was. And now people are beginning to swear by God's name and go 'Oh My God' when something big happens. OMG (Pun intended)

The reason these people are not condemned to stoning these days is because :

1) By God's grace he endures our sin
2) Stoning is so old-fashioned compared to electric chairs or death injection
3) There's no more stones around cause it's been used to construct new churches without any regard for the people's welfare.

And my church is building a new church.....beside our old one (if you don't consider the AIA building). Pretty much like building a nuclear reactor beside one. One is enough to impact one's neighborhood, two will likely create a rivalry between both churches to see who can 'harvest' more.

Back to the topic, it isn't cool to use God's name in vain as opposed to the movies.(Sometimes I wonder when will it go passe). The least you could do is "Oh My Goodness", but I don't think God's goodness should also be taken lightly. Right?

Blogging Tips

I received an email from my mum which contains an useful link from those who aspire to be bloggers or have already blogged since they learn how to type.Unsurprisingly, I'm one of the latter and being the curious lot, I checked out the link.

Turns out, my bandwidth did not go to waste. In this particular link, the author says that blogs are not essential to everyone. I repeat: IT's NOT ESSENTIAL TO EVRYONE. It really gave me a clearer picture on this blogging trend as I see too many people starting one and yet stop posting for about a couple of weeks. Just as what an old chinese adage:半途而废 (literally meaning that you progress halfway before wasting all the effort).

This is because not everyone wants to reveal what are they doing their whole life. They also won't enjoy Twitter or even Plurk. So what the author is trying to say is : If you have something to say to the internet community, then blog; If not, forget about it

But some of the tips are a bit way too much for me to handle. 3 posts per day? I admit I don't have the capacity to brain storm effectively, let alone 3 blog post per day. My aim for now is to blog at least twice 2 day. Maybe more depending on my time, my mood and whether my mum decided that I should earn a living by blogging.

Besides that, I'm not really a photo blogger, so the link for cropping photos in one go is maybe not that necessary for me yet. Perhaps in the future? Maybe. So I better save the link.

"Draft ideas as they happen." Now that is something I would like to point out. I agree that the best ideas or inspiration doesn't necessarily comes when facing the desktop(or your laptop for that matter). Ideas can come from everywhere, from Proms to Short stories(e.g. the Pearl) or even cockroaches. Yeah, it's true. My friend wrote about it and my oh my it gave me some chuckles.

Well, you can visit the link at the intro to learn more about this blogging tips. And now, I'm gonna cancel my nuffnag from my blog cause:

1) I don't need to increase my traffic and destroy the purpose I blog.
2) I doubt I can earn money from nuffnag for poor traffic
3) Screw nuffnag.

Happy Holidays.

And here he goes complaining again....

Carloz Tevez claimed that Fergie, the current manager of Manchester United is "scared" of the new and supposedly "improved" Manchester City squad.

First of all, he says that he isn't satisfied that he doesn't get as much league appearances as Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, who as also fellow strikers. First of all, Tevez isn't as good as those two as he "thinks" he is. Besides that, can't he just learn the art of being a "super-sub" just like Solksjaer during the 90's and early 2000's? Solksjaer, for your information is the one who clinched the UEFA champions league for the Red Devils, and thus the season that is Treble 99.

(Two babyfaces, except one has a CL medal while the other whines about everything)

If only Carlos Tevez had taken the initiatif to take up that role and possibly be the centre stage of the matches he will be playing. And then, he decided to snub a deal from Manchester United and went to Manchester City, the derby rivals. It's like rejecting a Mercedes for a Kancil.

(It isn't much of a hard discision right?)

Which brings me to my next point. Aepparently Carlos Tevez snubbed a move to Liverpool and choose City because of "Emotional Reasons", stating that it would do less damage to the fans of Man. United. Okay Tevez, how is switching to a club whose rivalry streches way longer than that of Liverppol or possibly his score sheet, justified? It doesn't make sense.The problem with Manchester City is their record of winning titles(or rather the lack of it).If he says switching to Manchester City raises a higher chance of European glory, he clearly dismiss the fact that the last time they won an European cup was 39 years ago. And the last domestic glory? 6 years later.

On the contrary, Liverpool have won the Champions Leagues in 2005 and they won the FA cup the following year. I'm not suggesting that I like Liverpool, but if I have a choice, I'll know who I'll choose.

Despite that, Tevez is still adamant on moving to City. And almost everyone(except himself) knows that the sole reason he moved to Manchester City is because of the high wage he will receive while donning the light blue shirt on the field, not to mention the newly purchased Barry,Robinho and Adebayor who too, came because their eyeballs are shinning british currency all over them.

I can go on and on about Tevez's rants on Fergie, but I believe he is beginning to realize that he went overboard. See, if he stopped complaining to the press about his disastrous relationship with Fergie, he could probably pulled off the greatest hoax and gain sympathy from the Red Devils fan. See, the fans have very high regard of him and pressured Alex Ferguson to sign him on a permanent deal. If Tevez just stop the noise and proceeded to sign for Manchester City, Fergie will get the very "hairdryer treatment" he is infamous for from the fans.

But Tevez went overboard and ironically, the fans who adored Tevez so dearly is beggining to hate him for criticizing Ferguson. And we all know who is the victor at the end of the day. Just look at Beckham or Van Nistelrooy.

(Believe me, he has worser moments than that)

And now we have Tevez claiming that Ferguson is scared of the new Manchester City squad ahead of their derby match which will surely excite both sides of Manchester. If that's not enough, he continues by saying that Mark "Sparky" Hughes, the manager of City is a better manager cause "he has been a football player so there is a big difference in the way he treats each player."

Now I'll probably show the middle finger to Tevez for this one. Ferguson was a striker in Aberdeen during the 60's (i think) and mind you, he scores goals. Lots of them. Probably more than Tevez could in 10 cycles of his lifetime. And please, guess where did Mark Hughes rise to fame? Manchester United. Who was the gaffer? Ferguson.

So, at the end of the day. Tevez is screwed. He talks to much, is as dangerous in front of goal as my old teddy bears and worse of all, he doesn't know it. I'll hope he spends time getting used to the bench, cause he'll have a hard time getting a place on the starting XI with 9 strikers in Manchester City. I'm not kidding.

(Better be used to this scene from now on)

Girls Generation - Gee

WL introduced to me this video. Pick yours, you'll be spoiled for choices. :D

My favourites are:

The one with the green jacket and aviation forage cap (1.22), the one with the sun glasses on her head with pink feathers all around. (2.01-2.10) . The girl in 2.18 (in my opinion) has better vocals compared to the others. The one singing in (2.42) and (2.53) isn't quite bad too.



At least I now know that WL "kua cha bo" ( Attraced to girls). Progress is the word. XD

A New World Survey

Got this from an email:

NEW WORLD SURVEY

Last month a world-wide Phone survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:-

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure because of the following:

In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.

In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

And Finally...........................

In Australia they hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent.

I like the punchline. I never know that the UN's voice is someone born in the streets of Madras....or Kampung Buah Pala.

I think if Malaysians were to fit in the survey. I think we won't understand what "give" means.The irony of this is so depressing cause Malaysians are thought to be very generous, and yet we crowd around an accident scene cause we like to "jaga tepi kain orang" without any regards of the road users who maybe have something more urgent errands to take care of rather than some dead man who has a " Lisen Kopi".

2 cents of my thoughts

Jennie* : Hey there.

Aaron : Yeah?

Jennie : Do you have Dixon's Handphone number? Can you give u me please?

Aaron : XXX-XXXXXXX (don't bother trying, it's not a pornography hotline)

Jennie : Thx.

Aaron : So how are you?

Jennie : I'm fine. Gtg. Bye.

Aaron : ...

*Actual name not revealed to avoid backstabbing

I been through this scenario before, and I lament to myself, "WHY OH WHY SUCH PEOPLE EXIST??". They take people for granted, never try to be a friend, and yet suddenly calls you or talk to you in msn just because they need help. And after that they just say a bloody 'goodbye' and be strangers to you.

I have a scout senior who tells me of such people. In his case, he said some people will suddenly ask you for transport back home out of nowhere. And the thing is, these people never even bother knowing you, let alone talk to you.

See, this are what I call people who take advantage of you. When they need something and if all else fails, they will find you. Thickening their face to ask you to help them as if you been their BFF forever. That is why if I have to say out one type of attitude I can never tolerate, it is this.

*******************

In another story, I kinda like this girl. But everytime I try to..let's just say, compliment her or what's that word... 'pikat'?? She just shrugs it off. I mean, I don't know whether she likes it, or simply don't bother at all.

My friend(who is a close friend of that girl) says that that's her usual reaction cause she's an introvert. But, despite the fact I can understand the rationality behind her action. I just can't keep it on.I'm the kind of person that expects to see results, and prefably something prominent and not obscure. That's why I doubting myself on holding on until I'm done with my last exam(SPM).

I seriously need help, anyone? I need God help me cause I know, He cares for me and he doesn't want me to see me suffer. If only I can see the answer for myself. Perhaps he may send someone who can give me advice? I'll just have to wait.....and see.

Weird Websites

"For the fun of it anyway". That's what I tell people. Random browsing of websites can(and will) give you a more wider view of the world, sometimes a tad TOO clear. Some of it range from the weird and funny to those that are...sinister is word perhaps??

EMO KIDS: For EMO____(place any object here)

http://www.luv-emo.com/

What is the site dedicated to:

Justifying EMO is a kind of lifestyle that everyone on this world should embrace. It even dedicated webpages to defend kids who are labelled as EMO.(It can be seen in the main page, refer to EMO KIDS)

Seeing the website, it makes me feel sad. How pitiful that those EMO jerks have to set up a website to spread their cultural and protect their long-gone integrity.

It's like a shopping mall. You have the hairstyle,clothes,pictures,makeups and wallpapers, or if you are like those who like literature, there's the poetry, quiz and even jokes. Jokes??? And emo???? How contradicting. It's like putting Anwar & Kit Siang together to have Milo Ais in my school canteen.

Benefits:

Seriously, my friends in school could do a whole lot better than what these monkeys can come up with. Better have a trip to Queensbay to undertstand EMO culture. Close Up.

(Their message: EMO is good. Reality: I'm a moron and I know it, just that I don't want to admit it.

STORM FRONT : White Nationalist Community

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/

What is the site dedicated to:

Idolizing Nazi's and screwing Jewish people all the way. I'm not kidding. There's even a thread in the forum that reads : " The White Nationalist Field Manual."

(What the cover would probably be like)

As I browse through their threads, some of it are just plain stupid. There's even a "Poetry" section which serves to "Expand your vocabulary and discover the secrets of our language." I even found one thread which reads "Over hyped Jewish Actors".

Any Benefits?( No, seriously)

If you plan to rise up against humanity and revive the Nazi propaganda, this would be the ideal site for you. But seriously,there are better things to do like cap Nazi Soldiers heads in "Call of Duty", sewing or even watching paint dry.

By the way, I found out that Adam Sandler is a jew.

( I play with Remote Controllers just for the fun of it, so slap me in the face)

And my favourite of all.....

CRACKED!!!! America's only Humour and Video Site Since 1958.

http://www.cracked.com/

What is the site dedicated to:

Giving people with nothing to do on the internet something to read about. (That's me!!!)

I stumbled unto this website while reseaching for my debate competition (which we lost spectacularly) and honestly I enjoy reading their articles. Some of the articles are in fact facts that really shed light on the events of the world. I also admire some of the photoshop-ing skills of some of the readers of the website.

(One of their latest magazine, some say the worst)

But be warned, some the articles that are published are, although are reinforced with legitimate sources to back up their facts, are presented in quite an unconventional way.I leave your imagination do the rest of the job.

Benefits?

I can only think of one. None. It's a retarded website for pete's sake. The articles are really there just to make someone laugh or brighten their day. But you should give it a try and read some of the articles and videos posted, it's worth your bandwidth.

**********

Now please be reminded I do not intend to :

1) Promote EMO culture
2) Patronize Nazism
3) or even making fun of Cracked.

I just hope that my readers will have a fun time browsing through websites that helps make the world a more interesting place to live in. Ironically, I'm starting to get scared of the internet. And for good reasons.

What I want to say.

It has been a week since I updated my blog. Nothing much has happened besides the Balik Pulau Scrabble competition. We lost out badly.

Overall.we won 4th placing. A bad record when compared to last year when we were champions. All I can take as a consolation is that this year SGGS and CLHS entered and that's why it was tough for us to win. =(

Anyway, I got an idea from my friend that since my blog link is "Irony Coast",why don't I try putting the word "ironicallly" or it's root word "irony" in all my blog posting?

Can it be done?
