A Tribute To Jessia: Kuching Can Beat Penang Anytime!

Jessica is an awesome friend... She helped me arrange for the import of my current phone from Malaysia to NZ... She encourages me when im down... & she is still a good fren after soooooo long... Now i love her even more because she has provided evidence to disprove wad all those west-side snobs hav been saying all this time... Penang has the best food? Westside is the best? Not necessarily... Why? Check out her blog entry Kuching: The Place For Food ! Every part of Malaysia has got it's own specialty... So suck up the pride & humble urself... Enjoy the culture of others & share the glory! =)

After being curious about the game for a long long time... I finally had the chance to learn the game last night (a few hours ago)! However, i enjoyed being taught the game more than playing the game! hehehe... cz i got a really gorgeous teacher named Jenny! I love her hair... wavy & long... i envy her... Also she's jz adorable & gullible... I pretended to be unable to read Chinese... Pretended to be a klutsy fool... Then, gav her a big shock when i won my very first game! =) I got so attactched to the game that i went on playing for hours! It was AWESOME!!! (hehe... cz i won so many rounds!) Many thanks to Ester Yap for arranging the wonderful after church get-together party! Every1 hada blast... even Jenny who is yt to win a round of Mahjong...

My Very First Original PC Game

Image
Take a good look at the very first ORIGINAL game i bought! ***** Hitman: Contracts Developed by Io-Interactive Published by Eidos (2004) Purchased on 19 October 2006 ***** I hav always been a fan of the Hitman series & when i saw the DVD of this release on sale... i had to purchace it! =) Furthermore, I enjoyed the game so much i finished it within 24hrs! with around 12hrs of gaming... Again i was very satisfied with the game... Mainly cz it is a game that wants you to think... Yes, you have to kill someone, but... No, you dont have to kill everyone... This game rewards you for being stealthy, selective, explorative & clever. You can choose to go in with ur guns blazing like a madman... or take the stealthy way like a true professional... I play a very professional contract killer so... i explore the area... i use disguises... i calculate every move... i sneak my way beyond the detection of enemy & civilian... i only expose myself when i seek

I came across this article and... IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! =) The Word Has Become Flesh The Amish example: 'Gentle folk' of Pennsylvania living the Bible Forgiveness is a virtue worth practicing Amish killer's widow thanks families of victims for forgiveness Posted: Friday, November 17 , 2006, 7:02 “Love your enemy and pray for those who persecute you,” records the disciple Matthew in chapter 5 of his gospel book. A couple of weeks ago a blooded shooting rocked the Amish community in Pennsylvania. The cold-blooded incident quickly spread throughout the world, sending a warning message of insecurity in the present world. But, the Amish community bounds back with an act that is poised to set a stunning exa

My First Cigarette

Image
During the early morning of this day, something trajic occured in the life of my closest friend in Wellington... A 4 year blooming flower has just been sliced off... under mutual agreement... After work at our respective restaurants and getting home to Cumberland together... Upon reaching the glass sliding doors, he told me to go up first, i was reluctant & suspicious... i asked why... in his dismay he took out a pack of cigarettes... lighted one... and broke a 10 months & 2 days record of not smoking since his 7 year smoking chain. I waited for the other smokers to finish & leave before i said anything... "What's wrong? tell me..." i insisted even thou he tried a few times to evade the topic... there was something broken inside of him that was hidden bt somehow apparent to me... Upon further prodding, he finally confessed... right then at that moment, i knew that i needed to show him a gesture of my support... i dropped the books in my arms and
