choice to love

2008-12-28T08:53:00.000-08:00

The only thing that Almighty God would not interfere is our willingness to love. He does not force us to love Him and He wont. He does not make a person fall for another no matter how hard or sincere the prayer is.. hehe

The only thing in the whole universe that God does not control is our love choices..

And that is the most challenging obstacle the world is facing. Even in our own society and our individual lives.. Countries provoking other countries to war, families staying faithful to one another and individually getting accepted by people or that special someone..

Because God stays out of it.. (He does hints and bring us to that place but He does not force love unto anyone..)

Then we look at the other filled half of the cup.. God has His intervention on every other aspects in society. Everything can have His fingerprints and we see that everything else can be solve.. Its like everything else is a miracle because God intervents and set everything in order.

Looking for job? God can intervent
Scoring in the studies? God can intervent
Chasing your dream? God can intervent
Healing? God can intervent

Wow! everything except our choice to love.
So do you wana love Him?

or her?.. =)

Home is where God is

http://www.chc.org.sg/citynews/?p=805

Ms Janelle Tan, a cgl from Pst Derek Dunn zone has my utmost respect in every way from the day I knew her. Her love for God inspired everyone on her team. She is firm, serious, loving and caring. In other words, She just got the right touch!

Of every sacrificial, annoited, wonderful cgl that i known thruout the years till now.. She is just simply more stunning.

Am reminded of her once again after so long. How seeing her in action just inspires me..

I wish her the best that life can offer!!

$350 speakers

2008-10-31T05:09:00.000-07:00

I tot I had wasted $350 on a piece of junk... I was approach by 2 ah bengs in a van at a carpark.. they said they had illegally brought out their company home theatre system to sell and wana sell me cheap cheap... A home theatre system would cost prob $2k onwards.. He would sell me $300 (later he add another $50)

Though i dun nid a system... i tot its a good deal... So i agreed and bought it for $350..

Than I told my senior and he said this wun come with the amps.... and it will b useless... Checked again with a few other fellow collegues and i realise that this home theatre system sellers are common in spore... they are everywhere! (man... i didnt realise)

But the good thing is that though without the amps, it will still work and what they sold are workable with warranty.. Just that i would need to get an amp to boast the sound..

Than i met up with one of our tenants.. i told her how i got this home theatre system and if she wana have them.... She got interested and we agreed on $400. =p

Than after she left, i opened up the box and confirm there really isnt an amp in there. i called the tenant and told her that it only has 2 long standing speakers and 2 short ones.. and a woofer.. (Dun wana be a bad salesman...) She will decide still.. but i am quite angry with myself for letting in to my stupidly gullible purchase mindset that i have...

Than i was having coffee with a collegue and he told me how he lost $300k at business dealing in the past and $18k while on a gambling trip. And that he has a 'kan kai' mindset... (easy going mindset) Its the business world.. and ya knw.. money can be earn back.. That conversation pretty set me free.. He is a small time taokay of his building contractors coy. Owes a luxury car and has money at his disposal.. Yeah.. talk about moving forward..

Than when i reach home i still have tots of sadness but than i realise i am gonna get my new game.. and this speakers could come in real handy... By nov 12, the game im excited for... Guitar Hero World Tour!! accompanied with Drum kit, guitar and a mic..

Now im gonna reshuffle my room and make some space..

Who wants a life size mirror with a wooden back? Free!
Who wants a red, white & blue rubber beach chair? free...

Who wana jam at my place? $4 an hour =D

G for Zero

2008-10-12T09:29:00.000-07:00

Yea i think we did not bad for this competition. Save to say at least a 6/10.
Cant wait to get my hands on the video..

Thankful for encouraging n persistent band mates.. Not from my church family but still putting in loads of effort into this competition. And cuz we are down to 3 members from our comfy 5.. adapting extra roles to get things going.. And constantly shaking me off my stage frightness and nervousness.

Also wana THANK Jieying, Yongzhuo, Clemence, Melody, Aaron and Davis (though late from Riverwalk) for making it down to support a short 2 minutes performance.. Really appreciate you! Hope we didnt disappoint u guys..

Well.. of cuz i do hope we can qualify for the next stage. But some bands got the judging criteria all covered. But we are still happy with our performance today!

G40, great job!

Next move, auditions for pubs and cafes =D

Extraordinary Cell Group Meeting

2008-10-03T09:35:00.000-07:00

Was reading Sarah Teo's blog awhile ago.. I think my post name shall be the same as hers.. =)

Attended the most extraordinary cgm for this year just now.. actually its on 3rd Oct. God is around and the Holy Spirit moved among us. I'd closed my eyes and I could focus in on God almost immediately though guitar playing was running thru my mind at the same time..

We just worship God over and over and over again.. We cried, laugh and was prayed for by Davis.. An hour pass just worshipping God with one song. And during singing in the spirit line, my eyes were closed like i dun care and Davis gotta tap me twice to get my attention. And Davis skip the preaching for cgm coz he acted upon his leading.. But... thats wat cgm are for rite?... encountering and re-encountering Jesus. Almost all of us lost our image. I looked like i just woke up and Becky gotta wash her face.. And Michelle who joined us again after awhile was touched as well. (3 cheers for our fav mich!!)

I saw myself again...
and im still trying to grasp, getting into my heart what i was told while my back was on the floor...

Just b4 cgm i was having a heart confession to God at my site office.. Had a few questions on my mind.. Not sure for this or that or this again...

For praise, it was not up to expectations so I planned to double up my effort for worship.. Or so i thought... Cause when God intervene, The Holy Spirit just took the steering wheel and drive... When I think back, I felt in my spirit that i'd just hung my guitar on the spirit sky and let Him play..

Anyway, I think the encounters we all had are different and indescribable... actually also coz i do not have much vocabs in my dictionary.. haha and i gotta rest for work tmr.. =)

Season 4

2008-10-01T09:31:00.000-07:00

Michael Scofield is back in Prison Break 4!! I caught the first 2 episodes back to back immediately.. Cant wait for it to air on TV.. Cant stand those adverts cutting in when the plot gets exciting.. So be the first to catch in on the internet.. =)

He escaped out of prison with his innocent brother in season 1

Than he was on the run in Season 2 and ended in a much worst prison

So he escaped again from that prison in Season 3

So what's next in Season 4?? On the run around the world? Or another prison escape?.. maybe a detention barack in spore and our manhunt would be exciting.. =p

But gotta give it up for those hollywood writers to come up with fresh ideas.. Its no secret. Instead of breaking out, now Michael Scofield and gang gotta break into the baddies high security buildings and offices to retrieve datas to bring them down..

Catch them! they are the best thing that ever happen on TV.

Well im the devil for saying this.. I hope there wont be an end to all in Season 4. I hope there will be a Season 5

=)

Travis Barker survived a plane crash!!

2008-09-22T03:22:00.000-07:00

(CNN) -- A man who came across a fiery jet crash said he saw former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and disc jockey Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies by ripping off their clothing.

"We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," William Owens told CNN affiliate WIS in Columbia, South Carolina. "I felt ill or sick to think that these lives were snuffed out at that point."

The two men were in critical condition with extensive burns Saturday. The crash killed four other people on board, authorities said.

The Learjet 60 carrying six people, including Barker and Goldstein, was taking off from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport in South Carolina on Friday night when it went off the runway. The plane crashed through light towers and an antenna array before crossing a road and stopping at an embankment, authorities said.

Owens came across the plane wreck while driving and stopped to see whether he could help.
Lexington County Coroner Harry O. Harman said all the dead in Friday's crash were Californians.

He identified them as pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad; Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City; and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles.

The Associated Press reported that Baker was an assistant to Barker and Still was a security guard for the musician.

Owens told WIS-TV he was driving on Highway 302 when he saw a fireball. Owens stopped and crossed across the road, which was doused with fuel, to get close to the wreckage.

Barker was standing in the road, trying to extinguish his burning pants, Owens told WIS-TV.
Owens and Goldstein walked toward the plane, but there was nothing they could do to help, he said.

Federal investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the crash site but said they aren't sure whether information on the device survived the blaze.

Investigators are also obtaining recordings of conversations between controllers in the tower and the jet's two-person crew, said National Transportation Safety Board spokeswoman Debbie Hersman.

"Air traffic controllers did observe sparks from the aircraft as it was going down the runway and immediately alerted fire-rescue crews at the airport," Hersman said Saturday evening in West Columbia.

The National Transportation Safety Board has sent team to West Columbia to investigate the crash.

The Learjet 60 crashed on takeoff at 11:53 p.m. Friday.

Beth Frits, spokeswoman at the Joseph Still Burn Center, in Augusta, Georgia, said Barker and Goldstein arrived at the hospital early Saturday. She said both men had "extensive burns."
Barker and Goldstein had played at a huge free outdoor concert in Columbia's Five Points district on Saturday night, CNN affiliate WIS-TV said.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the twin-engine private jet was cleared for takeoff on a flight to Van Nuys, California, and began its takeoff roll a few minutes before midnight.

Air traffic controllers "saw sparks coming from the runway -- whether that was from the aircraft or its engines, we don't know," Bergen said Saturday.

"They overran the end of runway 11. They impacted the antenna array and a number of lights at the end of the runway. They went through the perimeter fence and across the roadway here," Hersman said Saturday. "There was a significant post-crash fire."

The crash closed the airport, which is Columbia's main commercial and passenger terminal, and it remained closed late Saturday afternoon. The airport's Web site listed nine commercial airline flights canceled through 7 p.m. Saturday.

Hersman said the airport would not reopen until investigators finished collecting debris from the runway and crash site.

This is our God

2008-09-19T07:50:00.002-07:00

When I watched the interviews of the worship leaders who did 'This is our God' live recordings, it just amaze me..

Prior to the recordings, 2 of their worship leaders had devastating setbacks..

The guy who wrote the song Healer was fighting cancer. And the doctor told him that he cannot make it to play for the recording. So this guy actually had tubes sticking out of his nose and he carries a oxygen tank on stage to record. And he leads his own song..

"I believe, You're my Healer"
"I believe, You are all I need"

The lady who sang 'This is our God' , the theme song for the album.. actually gave birth 3 weeks ago.. And after a day or two, the baby died.

They do not have to do the recordings.. Nothing glamourous about being on stage when the battle is taken into their very personal life.. They could give up on God but yet they said in their own words that when they worship God, they find the strength to go thru their circumstances.. Wow!!..

Heb 13:15 "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the SACRIFICE OF PRAISE to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name."

Hati Hamba

2008-09-19T07:50:00.001-07:00

Being a servant is a skill...

Its not as simple as just making a decision to serve and everything will fall into place.. Serving is an enduring art not easily mastered..

When we were tyrants, we focus only on ourselves and our preference.. To be a servant of All, we have to predict and focus on All others' preferences. Different peoples' emotion at different time.. And in public gathering, a general preferences..

When we serve, to be careful not to step on someone's toes and not to cause misunderstanding.

Though we may have the heart to serve, but lack the skills, we will not be efficient. So for a start, we may become disappointed when people do not appreciate the heart.. But to slowly build on the skills.. And it will be a Clap!!

I feel like im starting to learn only now.. I never serve before..

Windria

2008-09-19T07:50:00.000-07:00

I rem Windria, a friend i got to know in Malang ask me this question that still struck me..

Windria, "Mattlex, may i ask do you all know each other before this mission trip?" (refering to the rest of my fellow teammates in Malang.)

Mattlex, "Nope.." (and i wondered whats so special about that)

Windria, "You see Mattlex, I really admire your church people.. I had ask all the previous mission teammates and none of them know each other before hand."

Mattlex, "oh??"

Windria continued, "Yet you all work as a team, follow your leaders without complacency. That's what so special about your church. I really admire you all."

That question struck me the whole nite...and for the rest of my time till now im blogging about it. I took it naturally and it never cross my mind before but of all the compliments I heard about City Harvest Church, this one struck out above the rest.

I wondered for awhile, How is it so?.. And in conclusion, I understood. Didn't we all came here to serve the Lord?.. And for God alone, we make sacrifices?..

Same understanding as that when we come to church, attend cell group meetings, events and even bible studies. If we were to come for our boyfriends, girlfriends. If we were to come for religion, business networking or social networking, we will one day grow weary, grow tired.. lose the interest and something more serious, the respect for His House.

When things do not go our way, we shun off..

I had to share a bed with a teammate in Sidoajo and everynite, he took 3/4 of the bed and half of the airtime by snoring. The 5 girls in Malang who did not know each other before, shared a room and a toilet and no hot water..

When the Indo pastors tell us our itinerary, the teamleaders are all Yes and Amen! Even for me, i have my little disagreements and rebelliousness but just put it aside and to get things done.. I believe even more so for the girls..

One day when we lose the interest or priority, could we ask ourselves whether we have the right heart attitude in place?

3 blessed week

2008-09-14T06:14:00.000-07:00

Am so blessed this past three weeks!

Had one week of breakthrus and got to know a few new friends! =))

And I went back to taking guitar lessons! From the guitarist of all guitarist.. Father of many inspirations.. The true blue home grown annoited guitar legend. Played around the world.. Played for tens of thousands.. Brother Poh!

Any inspiring guitarist or cell group guitarist please learn from the man himself!.. I strongly encourage you! Under his leadership, had brought CHC's praise and worship to where it is now.

It's an eternal investment!

Would have learnt from him earlier if i had known he conduct lessons.

Phileo? haha =)

mission trip 08

2008-09-08T07:15:00.000-07:00

I only prepare myself to play the guitar and to share my testimony for this mission trip. But God is good. God did a work in me and through me as well. This mission trip is really a time when we lean on the Holy Spirit.

At the end of it all, I shared the preaching with another teammate in a cell group meeting, shared testimony, collect offering in a youth service, played guitar, did a tv recording and help in a sunday school teachers' camp

All in all we have between 15 to 20 events and our team are 14 strong. Each of us ministered or attended around 10 session or events in a week..

Mission trips are really a time when we learn not to depend on ourselves but on the Holy Spirit. On the first day, I was still much in my comfort zone.. I thought i was much prepared. But throughout the 7 days, I Need and had learnt to depend on the Holy Spirit more and more each day. When God prompt me to sign up, God had prepared to take me thru..

The first day was free, relax and tues was a teaser. =p We went to sit in a seminar for sunday school teachers. Than later, we were group at different game station to conduct the games. Seeing them play thrills my heart. Most of the teachers are adults and some grandmothers. But yet they sponteniously play like little children and do their team cheers with much creativity. I will upload the video once i receive from another teammate. =) We had about 4 hours of rest before we atended the church leaders' meeting. Janelle (one of our team leader) delivered what i would describe as a Holy bomb on them! It open my eyes to see that she means business to change the world for Christ. She learn about the leadership problem facing in the church and preached about submitting to all our leaders including sub leaders. Not to forget God's calling into leadership in the begining and when things seems uncertain, turn away from submission and leadership. Even one teammate fell under the presence. Convicted to become a cell group leader when she return.

Wed morning we had an impromptu cell group meeting among ourselves and Gilston, another team leader lead us to be refilled in our spirit. At nite we travelled to another church to minister and G.J preaches. We had MonMons after that. =p (Im soo tempted to share every detail of the trip with u guys but it would just take me hours and possibly the longest blog post ever known to mankind. maybe the uploaded pictures will be better)

Thurs morning 6 of us were seperated with the rest to go to Malang to minister. A 2.5 hours drive and the driver dose off at one time and was half eyed for half the trip. The road in indo was not that systematic and safe though. Thank God we reach there in one piece!!

At nite we ministered in another church service. About 80 strong. The people were so hungry for God. when Janelle went to the poolpit, she teared. The pastor's daughters sang our chc's One life, One love as a special song item. When asked, how they learn of the song, she said she has the 2006 Emerge DVD. My heart sank on the inside. I was prepared to play the song 'Still' which i practise a few hours b4 we travel. But GJ flowing with the Spirit, change to 'One life, One love' when the meeting starts and i played that with the church band without practise. The people were so hospitable and we ate with them in their church. They immediately schedule for us to come back again on sat evening.

Friday morning we went to minister at a university christian meeting. I shared my testimony there and played Hati Hamba for ministry. Being the smart alec, I wrote the chords on my arm coz there is no lyric stand. At nite, we went to the same pastor's church. Janelle ask me to prepare Alleluia to Christ the Lord. But knowing they were more rural, they may not know the song. So we change to Dr Cho's wife 'Oh Halleluia' song. I prayed and figure the chords while the meeting was on going. In the end, i got the chords correct but the wrong beat. So we do the family chord progression but God still move.

Sat morning, we did our takes for a TV recording which will be broadcast on Malang's Christian TV. It belongs to Dr. Alex Abraham's Bethany group of churches. Myself, i shared my testimony. At first, in our mindset was that we got a poolpit to place our sermons or testis but nope.. it was outdoor. So i tried to put my papers in a bible so i pretend i was reading thru it but the producer said i cant look at the book too often. Than I panick liaoz.. Janelle pulled me aside and ask me to share my testi to her without looking. I struggled but was better off.. And when i stand infront of the camera, i was nervous but soon the Holy Spirit calm me down and I remembered the sequence of my testi.. At one point, i want to tear..

But i must comment on Florence, another teammate. When she heard Alison sermon was about the same as hers, she changed it on the spot to a healing sermon before her take. And before that, Alison was also mind blank about the content of her sermon until the day before when travelling, thoughts just flow to her and she quickly jot them.

After the recording, Wind our interpretter, ask me to come for tonite's youth service to share my testi. I was preparing to do offering msg at the thurs nite church tonite but my team leader agreed for me to stay.. In my heart, i was like phew.. So we went to have a bali massage till 4pm.. =p Than another shocker came..

GJ, "hey the youth pastor ask u to take the offering as well.."
mattlex, "hahaha.. rite."
GJ, "im not kidding.. i show u the sms."

my countenance fell... And the next hour, i prepare the offering msg. One hour seems like minutes. And off i go.. like a lamb led to the slaughter. The rest of the team went to the scheduled church.

So i delivered the 2nd worst offering msg i ever heard in my whole life. =D The first one was also by me.. =D =D than followed by my testi. But my testi save me from further embarassment. The preacher that nite was Pst Billy. Dr. Alex Abraham's grandson. Pastor Billy is a super dynamic preacher. I can feel him though i do not understand.

Wind is a zone supervisor of 4 youth cell group. As we left, He receive a call from the youth pastor. Asking me and him to join Pastor Billy for dinner.. He agreed and told me calmly.. "Pastor Billy want to have dinner with me.." In my heart was like... 'Oh man...' Than he told me somemore.. Even he dun get to eat with pastor billy as he is like a superstar coz of his family.. In my heart... 'Oh bummer' So we had chinese dinner for the first time when i arrive... Pastor Billy is 24 years old. married at 21 and now has a daughter.

I went back and had a bad diahorea. Coz on Friday nite i had too much to eat and the chilis were magnificent. I still followed them for supper and i couldnt slp well that nite.. i went to the toilet 5 to 6 times thruout the nite.. Woke up at 5am to prepare to go back to surabaya. Than it was the same driver as before.. I got worried but this time he was very awake.. speed to surabaya in less than 2 hrs. During the trip, i got cold sweat. And my vision turn yellow coz of my tummy. had went to the toilet before i travel and after unloading the baggage, i went to the toilet again. Also learn that another 2 or 3 more fellow teammates are down with flu. Had one hour to prepare cell group meeting. I just ran through the thoughts in my mind. discuss with my partner a little.. Janelle prayed for us and when the que comes, off we go. By then i had learn something. Not to prepare every detail but to trust on the Holy Spirit. We went up, played games with the cg. After p&w, Eden shared a passage, than i came in with the 2 point content on 'Not despising our youth.' and she ends with them writing down their goals. I took up the guitar and we prayed and the Holy Spirit move in the room. It was a great time and a finale for me this mission trip.

I believed i received more than i give this mission trip. The people were soo hungry for God seeing them responding to altar calls and seating thru services in the heat. With bats flying, mosquitoes and children walking around. The service was interupted by the loud broadcast of the muslim prayer. Seeing them makes me realise the basic of a believer.

Our teammates also have their breakthroughs.. Gilston on thursday preach in a service. God ask him to blow into the mic without asking the people to come forward. The power came down like an aeroplane landing from behind him.. The people fell where they were standing. The singers behind him were shaking.

Lyon became the world first make-up preacher. He teaches the church dancers how to put on make up and preach to them on the importance of looking good. He gathers his sermons only the last few days.. He is 20 years old and the handsome one.. The girls ask for his number and stalk him..

Florence came and keep collecting offering.. She works in a bank and she is an usher head in CHC. All adds together, she seem like the next bible economics preacher.

For me, they call me the testimony guy. Take one testimony can go all around the world liaoz..
Yi Ge Testimony Chuang Tian Xia.

Another thing i learn during this trip is about humility. The guys who serve us make us humble ourselves.. Treated us as though we were kings and famous preachers.. though we were nobody. Brought us to massage, gave us batik shirts and fed us till we beg them to stop. The wife had to sleep in another home so i can sleep in the masterbedroom. The husband even ask me to sleep on the master bed but i couldnt accept. And they will take us or get us whatever we ask. The surabaya team went to mount bomo to see the sunrise in the early morning. On Thurs when i said not to prepare my breakfast coz im leaving for Malang in 10 minutes, the lady church staff ran and came back with my breakfast in 5 minutes. Wind brought me to Careffour after my dinner with pastor billy and pretended that he wanted to buy things so i wont feel bad about me asking him to bring me. And 4 thumbs up to Pakroy, a church elder, a businessman. He make time every lunch and dinner and supper to meet with us and take us to posh resturant n nice food places. Make sure of our lodging and logistics.. They are the most hospitable people i known with a heart to serve. And they are millionaires, businessman, pastors, degree holders in theology. Wind is a top university lecturer who translate IT books. Another guy family runs a coffee factory. Another owes a department store. Another pastor is Megawati's grand nephew. And who are we... For me, im nothing compared to them.. Yet they serve us as though we are Pastor Kong himself...

I cant wait for them to come for the Asia Conference this November.. Than its our chance to serve them and bless them..

Amen.

Ganas goes to chinatown

2008-08-09T09:28:00.000-07:00

080808

and the GANASAIss went to bring the house down at Chinatown..

We could hear the crowd cheering as walk up the narrow flight of stairs.. and we were afraid we would step on some of our fans.. cause...... they are actually quite tiny.. ( i never said they were humans) Some famous roaches grace our concert as well.. Bradbug and Angelizar, Pflies, the chris browns, backstreet roaches, the mothfats, fat joe, paul from the beetles, even micheal jackson... another beetle.

We had a late nite marathon jamming session. over 3 hours of noise and occasional music. alot of impromptu songs.. and being national day as we ended, we did some national day songs...

And it was then i realise i cant sing the national anthem for real..

so there i go....

emo time

2008-08-06T07:34:00.000-07:00

10pm and im walking the peaceful yet lonely pavement to my block.. And i saw in a distance two dogs.. jumping and playing with the owner as another lady stand over..

Yet closer to me.. i saw a lonely cat.. staring blankly for awhile at the 2 dogs playing.. soon after it stroll over to an old mature tree.. looking at the bark and its protruding roots.. My first guess is that it is trying its chances at some roaches or bugs before it catches some sleep.. under that familiar hut.. or stone benches.. and tmr is another day

man.. what does it take to be love..

This morning, when my mum woke me up, she ask me to check debbie as she was limbing away.. Blood rushed to my head and i suddenly arose from the dead.. yes she was limbing away.. and we both got worried.. how did that happen and whether it was serious or permanent.. my mum planned to take her to the vet after work.. Thoughts of debbie came flashing in my mind thruout my day..

Thank God !! when i came home.. she was back to normal.. my mum told me she wasnt limbing anymore when she came home earlier on.. I cuddle her a lil and stroke her..

Such a fur of joy she is to my family..

psycho

2008-07-22T04:52:00.000-07:00

Life is interesting.. More interesting for me at my workplace. Im facing loads of human beings and human beings create the most complicating problems.. =)

Not that im proud to comment on that... but i am facing a psychotic woman at this moment.. Awww. I just replied rudely to her psychotic question and she seem like she is making a life or death point to get back at me! (My gosh! I just woke up a beast!)

Well what did she do?

After our conversation ended yesterday afternoon, she smsed in the evening to say how surprise and disappointed she was for my reply. And she would never call me again (regarding to my work ar!...). And she would call the office directly.

So she called my office this afternoon for my collegue to reach me.. Well i just dont response to her queries.. Than she called my contractor and comment about me. I didnt care much.. Than at 6pm she called my hp twice..while i was watching PB.

What did i do?

She called me to complain of her ex neighbour who came back on sunday to take her things. And how noisy the neighbour's vocal chord was.. For that she called the police. I told her the ex neighbour came back with our permission. And I asked her whether the neighbour was as noisy as an aeroplane taking off.. and she kept silent.

About this psychotic woman.

Her looks itself would drain you..
She is in her 40s.. single.. and very rich. She owns 2 adult rockwelder guard dogs. She called the police a few times that someone wants to burglarise her house.. The bangladesh workers want to woo her maid, And that another psycho man across the street came by in the wee hours to play with her dogs.. She chased her neighbour away and called the police when this neighbour came back to take her things. Last week she accuse the neighbour of putting dog shit in front of her gate. I came by to check and it was actually quite away from her gate front. I told her off for wasting my time!

Also last week, she shouted at our potential client who wants to take over her neighbour unit.

In the past i got my ways to deal with such a pyschos. Now i do not know how to deal with it 'professionally'. Can i call the mental institute to nab her? hoho...

Are girls common victims to psychos like this?

I bought a new pair of jeans today and i never guess it would need more attention to it. Like im "boiling" my jeans at this moment while creating this post. 2nd round now.. and after this i got to squeeze it, flick it.. and flag it... dry it away from direct sunlight.. and wear it while its alil moist..

all in the name of longetivity to this pair of raw demin jeans.. and fun!

and i got to get a pair of canvas shoes to go with it.. and ransack my cupboard to find the correct tops for it..

I was accompanied by Dr Germy who was my confident in this... He knows all about jeans.. There is the 1957 year jeans and 19 sixty sixes.. He knows the details of the treading.. its selvage... and who else know where the hell is the rise in a pair of jeans? haha! Jer, I kaotao to u bro!!

I gotta thank him for his time today.. He has shared some light to this once mysterious puzzle in the great world of fashion.. Now looking for jeans is never the same again.. Dr demin

why men prefer to go solo

2008-06-03T05:08:00.000-07:00

SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Bachelor Carl Weisman got fed up of being classified as a playboy, a loser or a commitment-phobe so he set out to find out exactly why he and a growing number of eligible men were steering clear of marriage.

Weisman, 49, conducted a survey of 1,533 heterosexual men to research a book aiming to give women an insight into why some smart, successful men opted to stay single -- and help lifelong bachelors understand why they are still the solo man at parties.
He concluded that most men were not afraid of marriage -- but they were afraid of a bad marriage.

"Men are 10 times more scared of marrying the wrong person than of never getting married at all," Weisman told Reuters in a telephone interview.

"This is the first generation of people who have grown up with bad divorces. People assume there is something wrong if you don't marry but these are men who have made a different choice and not given in to social pressures."

The release of his book "So Why Have You Never Been Married? - Ten Insights into Why He Hasn't Wed," comes amid a growing trend for more people to stay single, with less social or religious pressures on men -- and women -- to tie the knot.

Weisman said U.S. figures showed that in 1980 about 6 percent of men aged in their early 40s had never married but this number had now risen to 17 percent.

AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES
Weisman said his online survey found there are three groups of bachelors -- about 8 percent who never want to marry, 62 percent want to marry but of which half won't settle for anything less than perfection, and about 30 percent who are on the fence.

Four out of 10 bachelors did not want children compared to three out of 10 wanting to be a father. The rest were undecided.

But while 72 percent of respondents said they were not afraid of marriage, about half of them said the situation that scared them most was marrying the wrong person.

"It's so important to these men to get it right. My best advice to single women after bachelors is to be patient. If you're in a hurry to get married you'll be frustrated," he said.

Weisman also found that financial issues, both positive and negative, played a large part in men's fear of commitment.

"Those with little money said they would have nothing to offer a partner, with some suffering self-esteem issues and withdrawing from the dating pool," said Weisman, an engineer-turned-author with two books now published.

"While those who are financially sound were terrified what a bad divorce could do to them."
Weisman said his research blew away any idea that single men were unhappy.

"A compelling issue was how many of them had found contentment in a never-married life," he said. "They had created lives full of careers, friends and ambitions. It was not like they walk around all day worried about not being married."

For him, researching the book made him also look at himself -- and he ended up living with a girlfriend for the first time.

"Now we're looking at getting married. As I researched the book I found I was looking at men 10 years older than me and it was like looking into the future. If I didn't change, nothing would," he said.

A privilege today to see and hear the bass playing of californication 'live'. Before my very eyes. Love the song to bits and wonderful bass outline.

The original song is by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Easily the best band in the world.. But thats not my point for now.. Check out this version on Youtube.

The bassist name is Flea and he is one of the best bassist in the whole wide world..

fear of heights

2008-05-17T19:36:00.000-07:00

I just overcame my fear of heights.. Climbed a 2 storey long ladder up to the 2nd floor rooftop. And there wasn't any safety belts not helmet..

My legs were shaky once i reach the 2nd floor height.. But climbing down was even worst. mounting myself on the ladder was the scariest. Gosh..

I have a fear of heights since young.. I couldnt look vertically down from as low as the 3rd storey.. Am I still afraid? Yea... but I may be more daring.. =))

And guess which floor I'm staying on?....

Lipsync

2008-04-27T08:45:00.000-07:00

Lipsync

My mouth they move
but it's off the hook
my microphone is on to silent mode

The crowd they cheered
hear not a thing
entertained by the steps of a dance routine

At backstage, a fat boy sings
he couldnt't fit the cover of a magazine

Be mesmerize by his soulful voice
occasional squirt and tactful noise

Not for his extra thigh, equator chest
he could be our next Ryan Seacrest

There we go, hear not a thing
Pretty boy face but.......

Lipsync

What a random poem.. I just finished watching the movie 200 pound beauty courtesy of davis.. Its a good movie. Lovely.. About a good nature fat lady who can sing very well.. She lipsync for a singer at backstage. Than was emotionally hurt by the team of them.. She undergo surgery and came out a stunning beauty. She went for audition and became a singer with the same team. But she was ashame of her past and lost her good character in a sense. When rumors hit the newstand that this new singer was actually an obese lady who undergone major surgery, she hides her past even more.. But at her first concert, she redeem herself and confess to her fans at the risk of losing her fame. (I rem that movie part and it was soo touching..) Instead of the fans criticism, they cheered her on even more. And she became a sensation.

Go watch it if you have not.. Me not knowing korean could enjoy the movie. if i know korean, i might teared thru out.. boo hoo

rite.....

My friend Nick is currently serving his national service as an internal security team looking after key installations around our home island.. So when Mr Mas Selamat decided to break jail, Nick was being called to comb the island to search for Mas..

So I was asking him the other day...

Lex, "So hw's the search?" "Did you went into the forested area to search for Mas?"

Nick, "Yea.."

Lex, "How did you search him? The team of you walk thru the forest?.."

Nick, "Nope.."

Lex, "......oh?"

Nick, "Our superior ask us to camp at a spot and wait for him to come."

Lex, "Huh?! Serious?.. With camoflage on?"

Nick, "Uh huh.. No camoflage."

Lex, "So you just waited there the whole day?"

Nick, "Yea.. It was soo boring. So my friend light his cigerette and we both crap away.."

Lex, "My gosh.. How would you catch Mas Selamat like that?"

Nick, "Yea.. it got so bored we even started a camp fire!.."

Lex, "Than he would have notice you from afar.."

Nick, =)

Lex, "Oh my.. you should at least sit on a tree or something..."

Nick, =)

And the news was telling us how thousands of military men were deploy in the forests and around the coast..

By the way, i recall Wong Ka Seng said that there will be a report on he's escape in a month from his breakaway date..

untraceable

2008-04-08T06:49:00.000-07:00

"these people want to watch you die.. and they dont even know you.."

That pretty much sum up what the movie 'untraceable' is about. It has a fresh and new story line.. The acting is alrite.. But this movie makes me sit up at the end.. And set my mind thinking.. 'So true are the words of the killer said above.'

Well well... if such a website ever appears on the internet, I believe that it will progress just as the movie plot..

macau and hong kong

2008-03-13T09:19:00.000-07:00

just came back from hong kong and macau...

its an eye opener.. but i did not enjoy much.. mayb its since i just came back from japan. Japan set the benchmark. haha

Hong kong is a good place to visit. I recommend a short trip there will do. The MTR there is the same as spore so its easy to travel around. The cantonese food are tasty. =)

Macau is the place of sin.. The casinos are the most beautiful buildings and architectures in the world!! but its surrounded by run-down estates and roads. But the place is developing. Inside the casinos are gold plated railings and marble flooring..

The people inside and around macau are pretty tense up. Like walking around with thoughts on their mind. cause they are betting loads of money in short timings. So if the wheel of fortune dun go their way... all kind of patterns will come out.

I hate the china men there! They are soo kiasu and kiasee. they bump around talk aloud. Cut queue in broad daylight. And whatever they do, they dun spare a thought for others...

yep.. =)

stress / destress / stress / destress

2008-02-24T07:33:00.000-08:00

The problems im facing currently

- my workload is at its peak since 2 years in this office... (and deadlines to diff bosses)
- im in debt of about 1 month of my salary
- One maid spread a rumor among the maid's community in my work site that i am her boyfriend
- and all my other disabilities that i had constantly..
- the commitments that i have

you wont feel it unless you are in my shoes..
Am i stress? you bet i am.. Im not train to vent my anger on anybody as well..

I cant break my momentum now.. Thats how living is for me at 26. Its not something like "I can get over it if i just avoid thinking about it." Its a very realtime Cause & Effect on my life and others well being.

But God saves the day! Im glad i not only know Him, but i know His ways..

Here's a piece of old hokkien knowledge or revelation that i received..

- a person will become tense up, angry or worried NOT because he receive a problem/ situation. But rather, he will become of that when he do not have the solutions only.

My answers are in Him.. hearing His specific ways for me.. That is why my stress tank is kept under the limits..

Guys, if you are stress up over things like whether you are homosexual.. or duno whr else to go and play.. I got a general answer for you...

There is more than one tree in the forest, The world is bigger than your living room. Take a deep breath cause life is more exciting!

Hope you get over it soon!

Japan tour

Well words cant discribe the holiday spent there... But my family took quite alot of pics... Hope to upload in my friendster soon.

neighbourhood stories..

2008-01-10T02:58:00.000-08:00

today when i was walking back home.. i saw a policeman standing guard near my block. I thought to myself that a fight had broke out. Than i notice the cleaners rushing around with brooms. So i looked down at the pavement.. The pavement around my block is the cleanest i ever seen in a very very long time. Not even a piece of cigrette butt. Not even in the longkang. Than i look across the block i saw the carpark behind it sheltered up. And the block is brightly litted up.

Than i realise... Ohhh, my MP is coming. He is none other than the great Lee Hsien Loong. My estate is preparing for the Main Upgrading Program and he had come by to conduct a lucky draw. Dont pray pray hor.. Brunei prince not free so he remembered that this humble place is his election playground.

If i can ask him one question, i would ask him if my block would still get painted if the opposition party dont want to challenge this estate.

One more thing i should ask him.. Our lifts has an expiry date of 28 years.. We are in the 27 years now.. Why is the changing of lifts being put inside the MUP and the household has to pay for it still... It still has to be change even if we dont approve of it..

Happy Ratatouille 2008

2007-12-31T22:26:00.000-08:00

Went to the esplanade to countdown but could not squeeze through the huge crowd to get to the waterfront.. infact, we were stuck opp the road... so we made our way back to the padang field to catch the fireworkz. And just in time..

Before that we were at wymond's place for pot luck.. had some international food... =) We left his place around 1045pm only.. And when we settle down at padang, we were just roughly 2 mins before midnite.. We did not know the exact timing for the countdown and we just wait till suddenly the sky was litted up.. followed by the thunderous sound and the cheers of the crowd.

The fireworkz lasted for 10mins.. It was short.. but just so thankful too.. We quickly rush our way down to vivocity to catch the movie AVP2.. had booked the 0115am slot.. And just so thankful the timing was just right... because of the heavy traffic and crowd, we reach the place just 10mins before the schedule...

ok..movie critic time..
AvP2 is just as gruesome as the 1st installment. We sat at the 3rd row from front so we didnt really have a good view. Furthermore, most of the show was dark and the aliens was black. The screen was too big and we turn our heads left to right and left to watch a scene. Gosh..

But overall its a good movie. Its not those that would win an oscar but its entertaining. About as good as the 1st.

Now i would like to make a gay kind of declaration.. I would not plan to watch another movie in vivocity. The seats are too straight. The neck will hurt. Kopitiam seats are more comfy. Furthermore, 'The Cathay' is the best cinema in town and its closer to my place.. So support cathay... =p

guys, new year new start

Happy Ratatouille 2008!

2007 appreciation cell group W279

2007-12-30T07:02:00.000-08:00

The best part was the finale.. No planning and everything was random but it was the best..it was natural. God's hand must be in this and likewise, we must be in His plan..

The cell group multiplied and we were told of our new grouping. everyone was emotional.. either sad or glad.. a sense of change etc.. Anyway we had plan a appreciation gift for cyn and davis - mastermind by jieying.. we planned a appreciation gift for jeremy and jieying as well for their help in this cell group over 3 years.. None expected anything.. Its already quite a miracle getting for gifts inside cyn home without any of the 4 noticing of each other gifts..

I was thinking of the speech to present jeremy's and jieying's gifts right after somebody present for cyn and davis as a surprise. but i could not think of a good one so i said to myself.. 'aiya just let it be natural la.. God will help.' But i was rushing for service so i didnt plan to stay on le.. i ask zhaowei to present for me. And i make a move..

Before i was about to leave the door, junxiong stop everyone and had a speech to thank someone important in the cell group..etc. And he tur and said that i was the backbone of the cg's praise and worship.. wow i was so surprise! and he gave me a miniature guitar display on behalf of the cg. (i think everyone else got a shock too for who is this alex rite??.. =p)

So once junxiong end, i randomly ask to make a speech.. and i said that we wana appreciate jeremy and jieying for thier hardwork. I believe jeremy and jieying duno about thier gifts. Only an applause.. till we present to them.. Jieying got a beautiful pillow (courtesy of emy) cause jieying likes to sleep. Than jeremy ask if his present got anything to do with driving since he likes to drive.. haha Got!! u want wheels, we got wheels for ya baby.. and he recieve a skateboard..

After jeremy accepted le.. he turn made a speech.. to thank davis and later cynthia for their great effort as well... davis shld be shock i guess.. are u? cynthia..she shld know w279 game plans after 3 years... Cyn and davis gifts would be more meaningful with our personal msg written on it..

So we took our last group photo b4 i make my move.. I think its God's planning.. from the driving gift to choose for jeremy to this multiplication and such a finale.. No human plans..all natural.

And as i sit in my car, God reveal a truth about myself with w279. And i go Wow! God knows how to fixa broken spirit..

tata...

btw davis, what is our new cell group number?

And the guys are getting prosperous.. all are currently driving.. And its like such a cycle.. those of us who used to own a bike now drives a car.. And we are somewhat the same style or 'pattern'. Even for myself.. i thought i had morph into another person over the years but when i mix with them, i realise im still quite 'niao' as before..

I also sense in my spirit the possible new choices i can choose. But i seem to have been down that familiar road before.. I shall not make the same mistakes again.

The Kingdom

2007-11-28T08:01:00.000-08:00

Yesterday i was window shopping in Junction 8.. Had just drop my borrowed library book to return. i wanted to renew my loan but they would not allow as it is the 2nd time.. So i am suppose to wait for 2 hours when they will place the book back on the shelves..

So i was browsing thru the laptops in the department store.. than one of them was playing movie trailers one after another.. And it shows The Kingdom movie trailer starring jamie foxx. The trailer proves that the show is more exciting than the title itself.. And it got me excited for the movie.. "Gonna watch that one!" i said to myself.

Than i went one more level up by the escalator and behold... its Golden Village. I just browsed thru the timing.. and just nice.. The Kingdom movie starts in 30 mins. I bought a ticket for one and watch it by myself..

haha.. i was hesitating to watch it alone but there is this prompting in me saying 'if you feel like it, just go ahead'

The movie has a new modern plot about terrorism. Its an enjoyable show. Just that it involves conservative muslim countries.. i cant help but to think that this movie grabs political attention. And was cautious thru the show, looking out if the movie bring any wrong dialogues or shaming of conservatives.

Hmm.. this movie could be better if not for the political tension sense in the show..

But...
AvP2 is coming out!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alien vs Predator 1 is a great show! 2 warrior monsters fighting.. Now AvP2 trailer seems good!

I am Legend by Will Smith seem good too! Its kind of like a zombie flick too! But looking at the special effects, i think its worth the $7..

I used to be freak out by the Aliens movie when i was young.. my dad allow me to watch and i was frighten to be alone after that.. and it lasted for a long time. Was alarmed at the slightest rattle.. I was afraid of Jurrasic Park too..

The Hitman seems good

mattlex

Be of good cheer!

How God cheered me up today... =D

why wouldn't You let me go?...

Everytime i want to let go but You reignite the passion. So many times i want to give up. Going from nothing to something. No partners and not knowing where to start. Over 7 years till this day that i can remember.

I am not cut out for this.. But i had brought myself to this level.. all because of this seed that was planted in me.. More than 5 times this year i remembered of letting go.. And today was the finale.. i was devastated. And i come to church hoping You would not speak to me.. the message would not tell me to pursue my dream. But today's message was so clear.. i cant deny.. God, dont speak to me.. And i dont know if i should laugh, or hide my face.. Why isst so 'zun'?!

God, i am a failure. i failed in everything that i had place my hands into.. Lord, You know the truthfullness of these.. Looking at my past, i foresee how my future would be..

But God, if Your hands are in this, and You are for me, my only wish is that i can look back at this entry, lift up my hands and glorify Your name! For it is only You!.. That You have been faithful.. and i am a living testimonial of Your movement.

sincerely

thats me.. but i would say... 80% true?..

Signature Analysis Report for Alexander Liu on 11/18/2007

This report is based only on Alexander Liu's signature and therefore describes his public image. Alexander's private personality may be different.

Physical & Material Drives

Alexander is an intense person with a lot of vitality and a zestful, exuberant attitude. His desire for physical and material pleasure varies. Sometimes he likes to eat gourmet foods or spend time in luxurious surroundings, but he can take them or leave them. He is restless and needs to be on the go. He has a great capacity for an active, varied life.

Alexander has mixed feelings about accumulating money or material possessions. He cares about building his financial worth, but he also believes that there are more important things for him to worry about than collecting as much wealth as he can. He is not able to hold onto his money. Whether or not he has a lot, it just seems to slip through his fingers. While he tends to be generous, he also tries not to waste his resources.

Emotional Characteristics

Alexander's mind is in control. He believes in approaching all situations in a rational way and doesn't allow himself to express emotions, even when he is upset. Moments of hate, love and joy affect him deeply and continue to affect him after the experiences have passed. He may hold grudges because he has a hard time forgiving and forgetting. He maintains balance in his life by alternating between holding on and letting go. Sometimes his old feelings resurface and he turns to familiar ways of coping with them. At other times, he is able to let go of the past and move on to new emotional experiences.

Alexander has high hopes for his ambitions and feels that tomorrow is certain to be better than today. When things don't go well, he usually bounces back and tries again.

Intellectual Style

Alexander takes great pains to make sure that his thinking is systematic and precise. He tries hard to avoid mistakes. His analytical mind helps him to break a problem into its parts and deal with each item separately.

Intuition plays a large part in Alexander's thinking, but he uses enough logic to produce continuity. This versatility enables him to see both the parts and the whole of a problem or situation. He jumps right into the problem-solving process without pausing to reflect. He uses his intellect to stoutly defend his opinions in matters which are important to him. He will explore all possible avenues in order to defend his point of view. He likes to read because he is a visual learner who can interact well with written material.

Personality Traits

Alexander wants others to think he is totally self-confident and he doesn't like others to question his competence, even in areas where he is not competent. He is proud of how he looks and takes
good care of his personal appearance. He is likely to feel uncomfortable when he can't find clothes which fit him well or help him look his best. He derives a sense of pride from the achievements of his family.

Alexander is very cautious and he needs time to think and weigh the alternatives before he starts anything new. His needs for safety and caution sometimes prevent him from taking the risks which are required for personal growth.

Alexander can exhibit some changeable behaviour, but his responses are not frequently inconsistent. He is versatile and many-sided. He is not rigid or prescribed in his behaviour. He values traditional ways. He may be less receptive to more progressive viewpoints in favour of those perspectives which are approved by time.

Social Behaviour

Alexander enjoys the company of others but also needs time for solitude to collect himself.

Alexander presents himself to others in a clear, matter-of-fact way. He will conceal information when it is useful to do so, but he can be open and informative at other times. Because he is experienced in both ways of behaving, he is able to choose the most appropriate way to act in a specific situation. He knows when to hide his cards and when to lay them on the table. He knows when to be conversational, when to be quiet and when something is better left unsaid. He is discreet, tactful and willing to respond openly and honestly when questioned.

Alexander's feelings may get hurt when his personal appearance is criticized. It may not be possible to tell when he is feeling let down because he won't show it. Instead, he will cover up his feelings by looking as if everything is going along just fine. He will take an active part in social activities, whether that involves a central role or not. He is willing to become involved without requiring the spotlight. He wants to know that others look up to him and view him with respect and admiration.

Alexander enjoys having a good discussion.

Vocational Implications

Alexander likes to brainstorm a problem, then shift his attention to implementing a solution. He bases his decisions on facts and figures. When making decisions, he sets his emotions aside so that he can assess the information in an objective manner and choose the most sensible course of action. He is very concerned about accuracy in his work. He would rather take the time to get it right than rush to get it done quickly, but less accurately. Because he has a lot of energy which he channels into his work, he is able to accomplish more than most people. When necessary, he is able to work alone with concentration and, in a group, he can be either a leader or a follower, as appropriate. He is willing to assume a variety of group roles.

Alexander has difficulty organizing his work and often appears to be disorganized. His enjoyment of physical labour may be satisfied through his work. However, he could be happy in occupations which are not physical if he is able to use his muscles in activities outside of work.

Alexander is determined to hang in through the longer, duller stretches of work, so he is good at following through and completing projects.

Handwriting Analyst Report for Alex Liu on 11/18/2007

Physical & Material Drives

Alex appears to be a moderately energetic person. As long as his energy resources are not tapped too frequently, he will have enough energy to meet his needs and face the challenges which confront him. He doesn't value physical or material pleasures (gourmet food, luxurious surroundings, etc.), so he doesn't put any energy into finding them. He has his active periods. After being on the go for a while, he likes to relax and not have to do anything physical for a time.

Alex does not care about accumulating money or material possessions. There are more important things for him to worry about than building his financial worth. While he tends to be thrifty, he is sometimes willing to share his resources with others.

Emotional Characteristics

Alex responds rationally in emotional situations. Conscious control permits him to think first and act later in most circumstances. He is receptive to emotional matters, but his responses are empathetic without being impulsive. His feelings are typically moderate in intensity, so when he gets really upset about something, he is usually able to calm down and let go of his anger in a reasonable length of time.

Alex may have been physically tired or depressed at the time of writing. Otherwise, he is a pessimistic type of person who protects himself from disappointment by expecting the worst and waiting until there is little likelihood of failure before getting his hopes up. He is responsive and tender, though he may also be slightly moody. His emotional state is affected by the moods and feelings of others.

Intellectual Style

Alex takes great pains to make sure that his thinking is systematic and precise. He tries hard to avoid mistakes. His analytical mind helps him to break a problem into its parts and deal with each item separately.

Intuition plays a large part in Alex's thinking, but he uses enough logic to produce continuity. This versatility enables him to see both the parts and the whole of a problem or situation. In thinking and problem-solving, he is cautious and often pauses for reflection before trying to solve a problem. He enjoys activities which use his mind and challenge him intellectually. He appreciates elegant ideas which are profound and wide-reaching in their implications for understanding himself and others. He usually notices details, but he may occasionally forget or not take the time to consider all the particulars of an idea or problem. He uses his intellect to stoutly defend his opinions in matters which are important to him. He will explore all possible avenues in order to defend his point of view. He likes to read because he is a visual learner who can interact well with written material.

Personality Traits

Alex tends to minimize his own importance and subordinate his own desires. Overall, he has developed a sufficient amount of self-confidence and self esteem. He can be very self-critical and blame himself for a variety of shortcomings. He seems to be afraid of failing and to believe that he is not capable enough to accomplish what he sets out to do. Actually, he tends to be more capable than he gives himself credit for, so factual information and positive feedback about how well he is able to perform may help him succeed and overcome his fear of failure.

Alex is fairly patient and not inclined to become overly frustrated when he is forced to wait. He tends toward self-deception, as he tries to cope by acting like an ostrich and burying his head in the sand when the storm comes.

Alex is adaptable for the most part, and is able to accommodate to changing conditions. He is able to adapt to varying external pressures and force himself to do the things that need to be done.
He can exhibit some changeable behaviour, but his responses are not frequently inconsistent. He is versatile and many-sided. He is not rigid or prescribed in his behaviour. He has carefully cultivated his sense of taste and exercises good judgement in aesthetic matters. He does things his own way and is not afraid to try new experiences. He is progressive and action-oriented. He feels secure when he knows what his limits are. If his operational boundaries are unclear, he will lack a sense of predictability and control, and his level of insecurity will be higher.

Social Behaviour

Alex likes to be with people and will let others share his space, but he needs to be alone and recharge his batteries after awhile.

Alex will conceal information to protect himself, but he is trying to maintain balance in his life by alternating between holding on and letting go. Fear of self-exposure can cause him to conceal facts but not, necessarily, to lie. He wants to protect his image, so he may not mention facts which detract from the way he wants to be viewed. He is moderately interested in communicating clearly, but occasional carelessness or self-involvement may cause miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Alex's feelings may get hurt when his personal appearance is criticized. He is lacking in depth, so he tends to respond passively to others rather than asserting himself. He can be critical of others and focus on their deficiencies. His dissatisfaction with others is likely to be a reflection of his dissatisfaction with himself. He will take an active part in social activities, whether that involves a central role or not. He is willing to become involved without requiring the spotlight.

Alex enjoys having a good discussion.

Vocational Implications

Alex enjoys implementing or operating more than he enjoys brainstorming. His greatest contribution probably lies in his ability to carry out plans and take care of operations. He is able to jump into the middle of new projects. It is not important to him to be with the project from the beginning. He doesn't like to waste time, and he can become frustrated when people are late for their appointments or when he is unable to be efficient in his use of time. He is very concerned about accuracy in his work. He would rather take the time to get it right than rush to get it done quickly, but less accurately. When necessary, he is able to work alone with concentration and, in a group, he can be either a leader or a follower, as appropriate. He is willing to assume a variety of group roles.

Alex is able to organize his work most of the time; however, he can be disorganized on occasion. He may overlook some of the specifics involved in his work. His independence and openness to new experiences are useful traits for occupations which offer possibilities for developing new business ventures. He enjoys taking care of people and making sure that their needs are met. His enjoyment of physical labour may be satisfied through his work. However, he could be happy in occupations which are not physical if he is able to use his muscles in activities outside of work.

Alex is usually fairly enthusiastic about his work, although he may not get excited about it. He is determined to hang in through the longer, duller stretches of work, so he is good at following through and completing projects. He sometimes drags his feet and puts things off until the last minute. If too many things are put off too long, life may become overwhelming to him.

Alex sets his goals low so that he is sure he will be able to reach them. He feels most comfortable with goals which are quick, easy and, above all, safe.

It was 2004 and Korn's lead guitarist Brian "Head" Welch had hit rock bottom. As a member of the controversial nü-metal band that became the voice for youth worldwide with lyrics about alienation and abuse, the pressures of the rock star life had torn his marriage apart.

Addicted to methamphetamines and alcohol and left to raise his daughter by himself, the childhood dream of stardom had become a nightmare for the longhaired, bearded, and heavily tattooed musician. The wealth and fame he once thought would bring him happiness and fulfillment had left him miserable and empty, mired in a dark depression.

At the end of his rope, Welch prayed … and God answered in a big way.

-2 large plate of butter crayfish
-1 large plate of BBQ stingray
-1 large plate of pork rib
-1 large plate of oyster egg
-1 large plate of kang kong
-1 large hotplate egg toufu
-2 plates of rice each
-1 extra large cup of sugarcane drink

3 friends & myself went to johor to have this crazily huge dinner.. for those who dun noe me.. im in the 'Live to Eat' category of people.. and wouldnt mind going the distance for a sumptious meal.

For this place at Rasa Sentosa johor.. they are famous for their butter crayfish.. i reckon 1/3 of adult sporean population would have eaten or heard about this place. Its that delicious..! and no stall in spore does crayfish as good as them. almost all customers tonite had a set of crayfish on their table.. Wow!! and its cheap cause they charges in ringgit.

I had stop patronising that place since i gave up my bike about 2 years ago.. Ironically, when i was wrking at pizza hut before NS, i brought a collegue fren over to eat. He love it and during his NS in navy, he brought his navy pal (which happened to be our common friend) over to eat. He in turn likes it! Now this common friend brought me over to eat today! As I do not know how to get there by public transport..

Its amazing aint it..

My birthday happens with a dinner this past 2 years..
This year's is indeed full-filling...

Hatchday hatchday Hatchday

2007-11-05T07:24:00.000-08:00

I was hatched on this day 27 years ago.. (counting from day zero) The earth was never a safe place again.. haha.. ya right...

Anyway, mattlex didnt celebrate his 26th year. Had an exam in the morning which i didnt do well.. Hmm i didnt study much but was not panicky at all.. I think i lost the panic feelin le.. Not like when i was a student. And this exam has nothing to look forward to.. Its one of those that if you score high, you wun get any rewards. But if you fail, u sit thru the whole course again and if u fail the 2nd time, u pay back the entire course fee...

Well.. but i did had a simple meal and i ate one dish which i soo dearly miss. - escargots! I had them once before. I should be in upper primary. It left a good memory and just now i tried it for the 2nd time. Escargots are cooked snails... They were served with butter and garlic.

Going to johor for seafood this coming thursday. The best cereal crayfish is serve there.. (im a food fanatic u see..) Always patronise that place when i had a bike.. Now we are taking public transport in.. Used to be more daring.. I went in alone in the middle of the nite with my bike to have supper and pump petrol. service my bike alone.. frequent there more than i frequent orchard road. and did a few silly stuff there too..

Anyway, 26th years old. i seem to be getting back a few past memories. like im more able to face my past again.. I shall bring a few past friends with me into the future. Hope i succeed.

Impssible to cry with ur eyes looking Upwards

2007-10-31T08:09:00.000-07:00

When i was on course for the past 2 mondays and tuesdays, our trainer said something which left me wondering for awhile..

"it is humanly impossible to cry when you are looking up"

Do u think this statement is very true?.. when we cry we always look down.. i believe all readers of this blog has been sad once before.. did you cry with your head tilted up?

Than we may say.... ya i saw on TV when a mother was grieve for her lost child to the flood disaster. She was looking up and her hand gesture would suggest that she was asking WHY such a thing happen...

Ya.. she was wailing but her eyes were close when she look up.

its human error to cry with tears flowing down and our eyes looking upwards.

thats why mother always coax their lil child to look at the sky... (find the plane.. find the birds..) when he/she is crying.

Cause once the child LOOK UP,
the child stop crying....

Its easier to stop a sad moment with our heads tilt up..

hari raya meal

2007-10-26T20:53:00.000-07:00

Last nite i went to my senior place for Hari Raya dinner. Together with one of our property agent who is closer to us.. He bought his youngest kid and wife down.. and my malay senior had 4 kids. We watch Transformers on DVD and his wife was a great cook. Frankly, its the first time i felt malay food are soo nice to eat.. Its nothing like those muslim food we ate at the hawker..! Its delicious!

Anyway, wat got my thoughts flowing was seeing the 2 families together.. The property agent whos quite money minded (as all agents are.. coz they dont get basic pays) was at peace with himself and family. Wrapping his arms around his wife. His kid watching the TV screen.. Disturbing the kid inbetween the movie.. And he is the same person when he is at work or with his family..plus adding his loving side.

My senior was playing with his kids and disturbing them.. His wife was preparing the meal and coffee.. and his house was very well kept and clean.. The 2 couples seem to know each other through and through inside out..and supportive of one another.

I was motivated when i fellowshipped with them yesterday.. And I shall let you in on a secret.. I never knew family is like this.. It got me motivated..

After that I went to pasir ris chalet to find a few friends.. Its good timing they were having a stay there last nite.. And low and behold.. the agent also went there with his wife and kid. Bringing the kid to play arcade.. Soo sweet..

I was on my way out around 11plus.. I notice his wife again.. This time her countenance dont look good.. And she was standing outside the jackpot room.. Opps!

ZOMBIES

2007-10-26T10:28:00.001-07:00

Last night i had a wild dream..

I dreamt i was in Resident Evil 4 movie. I dreamt of the whole story plot from begining to the last part. There were interesting characters and zombies..

We were being chased by zombies and we caged ourselves inside an barrack-like area. And we were hiding and faking like zombies to walk among them.. People were risking their lives to make a living in the zombie infested earth.. And four self centred patrons who wore expensive suits and garments came up to our caged up camp. They said smugglishly that they had the cure to the zombies problem.. And my dream ended somewhere there.. It was time for me to wake up for work.

Its a dream..! and you know its interesting when I had zombies last night and yet I dont call it a nightmare..

handicap

2007-10-26T10:10:00.000-07:00

For most of my time i tried to convince myself that i am able bodied. That got me pretty constrain.. But I am now convinced that I am disabled. Im quite a handicap. There are certain things I cant do and there are certain parts I am Not. And I had decided to quit acting perfect.

For most of my life I tried to be somebody else. I hope to be that somebody else. Now its time to be me.. And I am Not abled. Like Nick Vujicic, I stopped praying for hands and limbs. Im Free..

http://www.lifewithoutlimbs.org/

Also, better get rid of you and than i get back to me.. coz you make me feel so damn unpretty... Whuever you are.. hahaa

common grace

2007-10-22T05:51:00.000-07:00

I must thank my friend Robin for his timely and rich advise.. Its common grace..

The best advise we could receive should come from sources of higher intelligence. Usually - God.
And God does speak thru men.

When I told Robin about my despair that was eating me up inside, Its like God speaking thru him and I felt it lights up my inner being. As though I had a revelation. I just wanted to confide.. I didnt expect much. But Im glad I was not too proud to hear out from him.

Robin, my childhood friend.. Im glad i still have him. For me and him and a few others, I spent the most memorable and fun time with..

codename: 'shopping' & '40 bottles of beer'

...will forever live in my memories
never will there be a repeat again..

Resident evil 3 is the last installation

2007-10-12T21:01:00.000-07:00

I was troubled when I learnt that Resident Evil Extinction is the final installation to the first zombie killing flick. It got me for the whole of yesterday..

so sad..

hahaa

Its a great movie.. better than harry potter.
Milla Jovovich is pretty!

I previously watched Ocean 11, 12 & 13...
This movies were alot of fun just watching it..
How they did the impossible to rob high security las vegas casinos and fooled their obstacles.

One of a kind movie!

And i felt zombies lurking at corners on my way home after the movies...

Lifehouse - First Time

2007-10-08T07:09:00.000-07:00

Lifehouse - First Time

We're both looking for something
That we've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

Looking at you,
holding my breath,
For once in my life,
I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,
letting you inside.

I'm feeling alive all over again,
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love,
she says For the first time

Well maybe I'm wrong,
But I'm feeling right
where I belong
With you tonight
Like being in love
Can feel for the first time

The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes

Looking at you,
Holding my breath,
For once in my lifeI
'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,
Letting you inside.

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love,
she said, for the first time

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love
to feel for the first time

We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love,
she said, for the first time

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love
can feel for the first time

Like being in love she said for the first time
Like being in love can feel for the first time

,, ,,;;\\/\ Earthquake at AMK /\//;;,, ,, ~~

2007-09-12T05:15:00.000-07:00

Just roughly an hour ago, my block was swaying.. i was sitting in front of the comp than suddenly i felt giddy. The comp screen i was looking seems like it is swaying. Than i realise its me... and i tot i was too tired. So I lay back and close my eyes but the giddiness dun seem to stop than i was like, "hey... something is abnormal." And my mum started saying with excitment! "the block is shaking! Do you all feel it? The block is shaking! The block is shaking!"

"Ya its an earthquake.. nothing will happen." I answered. "Do u see the light is swaying!?" My mum asked. "Do u see? Do u see?" "ya.. ya.. ya.." I replied. And the hanging calendar was swaying as well.

Hmm.. I was kind of excited actually.. first such exprience for me. I stay on the 19th floor and this block has 25 storeys. But i did wonder if it collapse, where would i be after that? But im more excited than freaked. If it collapse, a blackout would probably occur before the fall..

Hmm.. I guess the quake comes from indonesia. Do shakes in singapore from earthquake often happens in the old days? Or only in recent years.. i stay in ang mo kio. Quite central of spore. Was the shake felt in other places too??

Its the 1st non-comedy acting for jim carey.

Its a very meaningful movie!

p.s. but the truth is i dun watch much love stories.. The last love love movie i watch is Rush Hour 3.

summary for the week

2007-08-31T06:36:00.000-07:00

Just this past wednesday,
my Deputy Director, with a smile, said these words upon many other nice words to my face.. "It's either you are blind, or the tenant pays you money to cover your eyes.."

I was in the presence of 2 of his Deputy Managers, his Executive, and 2 of our Contractors. My only comfort was that my Manager was not present. If so, she would turn around and funnel the blame even more to me instead of providing a shield. (She was furiously hot when she called me upon learning of the incident.)
And my senior, for some reason left the scene just before the deputy director arrived.

The words out of my Deputy Director's mouth are often treated like golden nuggets. And his subordinates are rushing to follow up on his suggestions and ideas.

This pretty much summarize my past week at work..

So students, please study hard..

...friends, now you know my car dun come cheap

The Simpsons season 1

2007-08-18T09:24:00.000-07:00

Hey.. I'd just finish the whole season 1 of The Simpsons cartoon. Very nice and interesting. It should be dated back 1986.. I was 5 years old. In season 1, I realise how their pet dog (santa little helper) came about and how Bart became respected as a school bully.

Its all old school drawings with no guest appearance yet. Very cool.

Gonna move on to season 2..

"Help me Lord, i'm just not that bright.."

beautiful girls

2007-08-07T05:43:00.000-07:00

The previous night i was sleeping and this song kept ringing in my head.

Sean Kingston - Beautiful girls

I woke up for work the following morning and this song kept following me unconciously till i brush my teeth. Than i was like.. "Hey..."

I push that song off as i continue to prepare myself for work. And just as i had forgotten about it, the radio played this song right before i reach my workplace. I was like "Wow! Is this a coincident or wat!!??" And i remembered that song for the rest of the day..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt6o8NlrbHg&mode=related&search=

~~You're way to beautiful girl. That's why it will never work. You have me sucidal, sucidal when you say its over.

What a song to dream on for me..

love story

2007-08-06T04:16:00.000-07:00

I just heard a true love story on class 95 fm that watered my eyes.. If you can hear a love story that touches you over the radio, you know its good. Well.. at least to me.

This lady wrote in about how a song meant so much to her. Her name is Mag and it was how she met a guy back then in the 80's.

She was at East Coast Park with another girlfriend just chit chatting and discussing about their future after the 'o' levels when a ball roll their way. A guy walk down their way to collect it. And they caught each others eye and chatted for awhile before they exchange home phone numbers. They chatted on the phone for awhile and the guy invited her to a function for their first date. Than the slow dance numbers came along and the guy ask her to dance. She hesitated at first as she did not know how to dance. Than after much encouragement from the guy, she went up with him and they dance along to the slow tune. The first song they dance to was Crazy for you by madonna.

As teenagers, they quarrelled and fought over the phone. And disagreed on certain things. Than after a cold war, the guy stop calling her and she did not hear from the guy since then.

One day during the June period, she went back to school for tutorials and she saw that the school was filled with make shift beds from the civil defence. She ask her friends what was going on and she realise that the school was turn into a temporary shelter for the victims of the Hotel New World collapse. She carried on with her class but after awhile, the medics brought in the victims one after another and she saw and regconise one of them. It was the guy that she had been dating.

She later call his home to enquire and his parents told her that it was true. The guy was at the hotel at the time of collapse. And he was also one of the last person they retrieve under the ruble.

Its been about 20 years now since that fateful day and she had since move on. But whenever she heard that song it reminds her of him. And that song means so much to Mag.

Its a great song.. Also sadden that such love story is true.

ladies man

2007-08-04T23:14:00.000-07:00

I was walking down Singapore indoor stadium last nightwith Jeremy and my friend Robin called me on the phone to ask me out. Halfway through our conversation, a girl walked by me and was talking aloud. Robin cuts in.. "Ooh your with girls ar??" "Nope" I replied. And as i ended the phone conversation, Jeremy turn to ask me.. "You were talking to a girl ar??" "Noo" I replied..

My goodness..
Do i impress people like a ladies man?!

Im quite far from it.. haha

im not a justin timberlake, leon lai, p.diddy, lenny kravitz. or the ladies man of all.. Hugh Hefner.

But there are alot of famous people of the same genre as mine..

Which i think would be..
India Prime Minister, eminem, jay chuo.

maybe not jay chuo..

Im so jealous of Sun Ho.. She took a picture with my idol.. my model.. Travis Barker!! Ooh what i would give away to take a pict with him.

If u got no clue of who is he, he is the founder of 'Famous Stars & Straps' clothing line. And if you have not notice, its the backdrop of this blog skin.. Travis was the ace drummer in the now disbanded Blink 182. He's the one that got everybody listening to their tunes.. Easily the top 10 drummer in the world!

And Sun Ho.. Am supportive of her.. female version of the biblical daniel.. Awesome! Way to go! Does spore proud! Woohoo!

JY slept to boon lay from holland village. And she tot we were still at bouna vista.

lil karuna was couching at the back seat..

When to an exclusive place for coffee just now b4 the rain.. Its on a hill and its surrounded by greenery. The place up there is like a cowboy town. wooden and sparse. And there were no street lamps. The nite is lighted only by carpet shops, funiture shop, resturant, some pubs and cafes.. Hmm.. Its not very 'singaporean'. Its like a getaway from the city stress..

I would like the whole place to b mine exclusive soo i wun tell u whr it is.. i can bring u there... but i may have to blindfold u to maintain its secrecy.. hee hee hee
