what?

am in a SOHO hotel in Manila now, while their doing their thing.

using the internets for a while, just to tell you all that im alive, and I have like another 4-5 days left in here =)

yeap, that’s me =D

i’m leaving for the journey to the North East in about 3 and a half hours time, not really excited but still scared that I might lose the keys to the padlock of my luggage, passports, enough money or not, music on mp3 good enough? etc.

Obsessive compulsive disorder, basically strikes me @ this ungodly hour.

1. Camera-checked

2. Chargers-checked

3. Towels, toiletries-checked….

…

…

This is what I hate about traveling, packing.

Don’t really know what to expect, really. Would like to experience backpacking around the city with little cash and plain clothes.

I’ve experienced Christmas @ the park, Christmas @ church, Christmas @ home, Christmas @ relative’s home, Christmas @ shopping malls. But never imagined Christmas @ Philippines, heck, who would even think of traveling to the Philippines?

The only two Tagalog Lang phrases I know is

Maligayang Pasko – Merry Christmas

Magandang Araw – Good Day

Yeah… They sound the same so I choose to remember these two only.

I want to sleep already,

please pray for me to have a safe trip over there and not to get robbed or bombed by rebels, thank you.

of yeah, my PMR results too! =)

-zach is traveling again

would you take what’s left of me? =)

hmm. lackluster phrases, and posts. picture drought.

all these are because I was so busy from early December till now!

Welcome to the beginning of the end of the year, mid December.

Many many many things overwhelmed over my life through this short, short year.

2008 has been a year of surprises, and mystery.

Unpredictable, fun, exciting, and never failed to leave me pondering about life.

Christmas is in 3 days time, there’s no Christmas tree in my house as we always have. Just dust, and old furnitures covered with dust, waiting to be disposed after the renovation is done.

I feel nostalgic all of a sudden, looking at the corner where I grew up setting up Christmas trees. It has been 11 years now since my family found salvation.

And ever since without fail, the 6 foot tall Christmas tree will be set up half a month before Christmas. And year by year I will measure my height by the tree. Last year I was almost reaching the top!

Not sure about this year though.

Many Christmas had already past ever since I joined CBC Subang-Sunway. All kinds of services and events had been creatively prepared every year, this year would be less surprising though.

The warmth of carols, carolers, pies, I will miss a lot.

While I’m not sure what to expect this Christmas over at Philippines.  Not looking forward, really.

I haven’t even pack my luggage yet.

It seems year by year, festivals gets less appealing to me.

I get all nostalgic every time I reach to this point of the year. I hate it.

But what I want this Christmas is to understand why am I celebrating it. There must be a reason for me to do it there in the Philippines, which covers Malaysia from the Siberian monsoon wind, forgot which direction.

I don’t really care if I get presents or not, it all seem so pale to me now. But I don’t mind receiving it either =p

I’m pretty worn out so to say.

I can’t find my 2008 New Year resolutions I did when I was 14, will dig up my old dusty blog for it =)

I’m leaving this blog on the 31st. Starting a new one, without repeating the same mistake I did, which is putting my age as the title, as I did with my other blog.

Help me think of a title will ya’? =D

Don’t worry, this is not a good bye post. Will still update @ The Philippines, if I get internet over there.

Since around May I started this blog, now in total I have 5 thousand views, about 700-1000 views per month.

Not too shabby for a starter. heh.

-frshthzch@ CHRISTMAS.

anyhoo.

Updating from a local cyber cafe, near church.

It was Anne and Sze Gions wedding just half an hour ago, I felt lousy so I came here.

Just to fill the time, waiting for Gilbert and Ivan to come, so we could go for the performance done by orphans later.

I realized just now, that when you’re tired, your emotions run dry. Like me now, no smile, no frown, no wrinkles. It’s like I have botox everywhere on my face.

But right now things are getting worse as there are some game competition going on the other side of this cafe, and people are screaming all over the place about a game. [gosh!]

I would like to go to their faces slam their keyboards and say that there’s a reason why “chat” function was created.. But I have not enough guts to do it.

So I will be here listening to gamers clap, shout, scream, yell, laugh, just like what I saw in the zoo.

I hope there won’t be any fights, I don’t want to be an “accident” victim.

It’s already the 13th of December, just half of a month left for 2 oo 8.

And my Christmas ain’t coming so well for me. I don’t have the good’ol feeling of excitement and warmth like every other season.

I’m not sure, I’m still not smiling.

-frshthguyyoumet.

hmm?

when a person speaks a word to 2 person. the next minute the word becomes 2 words to 4 person. the next it becomes 8 words to 16 people.

that’s when the first person and the 2 words will have problems with the 2 person who gave 2 words out to 4 person.
[geddit' or not i don't care.]

that’s what happen to me. and I’m in the 2nd tier where the first person told me one word.

so now I’m in trouble. =)
If i were the first person I wouldn’t take it to matter because I know how the human mouth works.

But to that person now, it’s a serious matter. Although to most of us it’s nothing, really.

So my vow now is to not tell anything, so when you ask me to spread the word, think twice cause I’m a word vacuum.

gay? no.
speedy update:
tomorrow is Anne & Sze Gions BIG day!!!
wooOooooOooOOoooOOOOOOooOoOooo…

-frshthwordvacuum

a jaunty pace.

here’s a quickie.
This Christmas, CBC people are to fast giving presents to each other. So what are we gonna’ do with the Christmas presents tabung?

That’s where project C2U comes in, by helping the less fortunate, donating in every nicest form. Be it energy, money, old, usable stuff.

And this week, the Young Adult and College  zone are having a Christmas Carnival @ the SS14 park, also known to locals as Padang Assam, because formerly this park was overgrown with Assam trees. [i think...]

Yeap, it’s this Sunday. Please come!

=D

coffee on a Monday, rainy, morning.

…continue from post below, don’t want to elaborate too much from there, not bad looking bus hostess, american-accent speaking bus conductor, Tokyo Drift on the bus.

Malaysian Custom-Dirty Toilets.

Singaporean Custom-Clean Toilets, Awesome Sensors.

This is our first Singaporean experience right after the bus dropped us @ City Hall.

MRT(Mass Rapid Transit), a public transportation that we use half our time spent there, and also what low-medium paid Singaporeans use half their lifetimes.

This is the route that MRTs go, with this, you can pretty much travel to anywhere in Singapore within minutes.

The Singapore National Library, if you can look close enough, you can see in every floor there are people reading and studying.

Now this, is our National Library. Not sure if this is the renovated version, but it looks like a Islam convention centre.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

I have loads to elaborate but my mind’s getting lazy over the rainy morning, and the cup of coffee I made.

Let me start with recent happenings and updates.

Last week was normal until it came Saturday, where our State Assemblyman for Subang Jaya, Y.B. Hannah Yeoh was coming to speak to our church youths.

In conjunction with our church’s C2U project, she came to speak about “The Heart for the Community”

She was really professional in her speaking, and you can see that she is a simple lady.

She showed us a chronology slide show of  how God made all this happen in 12 months. And transformed her from a newly wed, law graduate to a young Y.B.

Her husband, Ram, was also a man of God, judging by the way he spoke.

The couple’s heart for the country was put to obvious as they speak to us youths. And also told us how we could help out in the community.

Dang, my fingers are tired again. I didn’t bring my camera that day, but I think she needs a new poster picture in the area. Has been using the same thing since March.. lol

not sure what to do, I’ve rejected going to Sunway Pyramid with the dudes and duddettes, simply cause it’s raining, and I’m lazy.

-frshturningintoafatasssoon.

gushes from the lion paw[singapaw]

Yeah, back to business. =D

It’s been a long rest, and now prepare to get streams of information and abundance of clarity.

Maybe not… maybe..

I’m really lazy these days thanks to P.C games, and also because of the thought that I’m going to do so many things starting next week, why do things that will drain my brain?

Well, I need it to start working again, so now I’m just giving what my tank full of iron oxides can give…

Now let’s start shall we?

Pictures are quite big and =.=’, might take a while to load…

Leave this here for a few minutes, and then come back to read.

For better reading experience.

Day 1

Departure/Arrival

Our chartered bus picked us up from here.

We all love Fridays. But it makes no difference now…

I expected some RapidKL type bus, hoho… but this is awesome =O

loading the luggage….

Alright, actually that’s all the time I have for Singapore as of now, so pause for a while =D

So today we’re still @ Malaysia. I’ll continue this in a few parts.

If you were on “steam”, I’m sorry to cut that off. muahahahaha

Well, life right now is pretty messy. Renovations going on the back, looks really nice already.

Having loads of stuff to do in mid December, so thinking of chilling with friends right now…

Won’t be celebrating Christmas here with my extended family[church & friends], won’t be here taking my PMR results… And most likely, will be celebrating New Year 2 o o 9 on the plane.

So life’s pretty much all around the place.

Nothing interesting, no point reading me now =D

Alright, off to 3K for sports, which only recently came back to my interest…

Badminton, anyone?
