Rainstorms. Its a love-hate thing.

Lately the weather's been driving me nuts.
In the morning, its cool.
In the afternoon the heat is blistering.
And by early evening, a rainstorm is sure to come my way.
Rainstorms aren't all that bad, I love how cooling it is after.

And then come the blackouts.

Its been too long a week.
At least can chill out a little today.

Went over to Ashley's yesterday for her Earth Hour BBQ.
Being in the dark is fun when you're with the right people and the right amount of food.
lol.
No pics cos dad took the cam.
Which is pretty weird because he has 3.

School's tommorow....argh.....
Heh, the weekend was kinda boring anyway.
And I just noticed,
my next post would be my 100th post.









Better make it special huh?

-Bk-

Its back up again.

Internet was down yesterday,

and the whole of the afternoon today.

"You ar...last week can do complicated transformations, today cannot one? Hello? Brendon are you still with us??"
You can't blame me, I was dam tired the whole day. I shouldn't have napped during Perdagangan.
Shouldv'e just finished up my history notes.
My maths tuition teacher thinks I should drink Brand's Essence of Chicken.
They should pay me at least a little, I think in the near future I might be advertising their products here.
Teeeheee.

Don't know why, the whole day I was just feeling lethargic.
Not having PJ didn't help at all. I seriously dam borh songg Cik Siti Hasni.
And Megat.

Argh...I have to sit in my parent's apartment tommorow and just stone whilst keeping an eye on the contractors.
I think I'll ask her if I can bring any company along.
Anyone care to join?
There's no tv, radio, or any form of digital entertainment there.
Maybe I'll just bring my laptop and watch Gundam 00 there.
I just can't get over the great view I get from the balcony, even though its dam small.

Food in the canteen didn't taste as good today.
Maybe something was missing.

-Bk-

Of ducks and lions.

Calvin and Ming Chal came over today for science project.
Its due on thursday =.=
Wei Lun was supposed to come, but instead he went to Jia Juen's to study guess what,
ADD MATH.

As if 9 subjects wasn't enough.

What's worse is, Ming Chal's taking add math too.
I seriously can't figure out why you two do things you do.

Still waiting for camp pics.
Daniel took loads. (duh he IS the official photographer of SLS)

A little tired from school today.
Dropping Perdagangan.
Keeping the rest.
Got a surprise in the morning.
It made my day.

Going out to play badminton too.
I feel...'fleshy'.
Gotta start excercising more.

Thought I'd write something first.

Like a pearl takes years to form,
the longer you give it time, the more beautiful it grows.
Like wine in a barrel,
you just get better in time.
Like and unfinished puzzle,
patience is the key.

If time's what you need.
You got it.

-Bk-

I'm trying hard to read the answer in fine print.

I've been finding it hard lately to write words on paper.
Maybe its writer's block

I've been finding it hard to say anything to you lately.
Maybe its just because I lost my voice.

I've been finding it hard to do anything at all.
Maybe I'm just a little tired.

I've been finding it hard to breathe sometimes.
Maybe I should go see a doctor.

I've been trying hard to figure out why all this is happening to me.
Maybe its just you.

A quick birthday wish

Happy Belated Birthday to my younger bro Basil!
Was going to update yesterday but was dam tired from camp and church and the dinner and stuff.
Pics are coming soon.
Haiz Basil's turning 11.
Ah, I still remember what life was like when I turned 11.
Wait, no I don't.
I feel old somehow. =.=

-Bk-

Of sore throats and unfinished drawings.

Went to the gym with the two fakais today.
No pics cos dad took the cam =.=
Now I have sore throat.
It feels like I'm gulping down a handful of nails everytime I swallow.
I shit you not, that is how it feels like right now.
And I just got back from church after packing up all the instruments and amps for camp.
Speaking of which I'll be gone tommorow.
Will be taking pics of all sorts cos I'm going to Kampar. The land of beef tripe noodles.
Or as most of us like to call it,
Ngau Lum Fan.
YAY!

I think sushi helps my sore throat.
Temporarily.

Lol for some reason, I was trying to do something I haven't done in a long time.
Draw.
I wonder what happened to me?
I used to love drawing.
Guess the passion all went to music and creative writing huh?

Something random should go into this post.
I was just going through some old photos and I saw some of my late grandpa.
I don't really have many fond memories of him, but the ones I do have, I cherish.
I kind of regret not spending more time with him.
So there's one lesson I learned.
Life's short. You might not remember everything that's happened to you, or with the people you care most about.
But there are just some moments you just gotta keep in your heart to forever cherish.

If I can, I'll cherish whatever time spent with all of you for the rest of my life.
Yes that means you, Calvin, Wernie, Kida, Ming Chal, Cina boys, Eric, Fakais, and the rest of the lot of you.
Something just made me laugh a little to myself.

Ah yea now I remember what it was.

I'll never forget the first time I heard you sing.
That I can cherish for the rest of my life.

Currents.

The title has nothing to do with this post at all.
Haiz...
Just finished having dinner after seeing Calvin off from my house.
Bro if you're reading this chill wei.
Today was a blast yet full of ear-piercing and head-banging moments.
And I promised myself long ago that I'd never, ever, ever, ever again listen to chinese emo songs.
Whee I broke that promise today.
Wow chinese emo songs brought back some feelings.
Now I feel like brood-blogging.
And so I shall.



Even if the rain stops falling,
Even if the sun stops shining,
Even if the wind stops blowing,
Even when all else fails,
always know,
A river flows in you.

It always has.

Like light to the dark side of the moon,
Like the missing piece to an unfinished puzzle,
Like the finishing note to a melody,
Like a drop of water to barren earth,
Like the queen of hearts of a deck of cards.
Like the only jasmine in a garden full of roses.

I'm beginning to think how I overlooked you before.

What's funny is,
I can say all these things here,
but they're like words falling on a deaf ear,
if I don't bring these words to life.

"How will you bring these words to life?"
all of you may ask.

Its simple.

The answers always been there.
You're just not looking hard enough.
What's the answer?
That's for me to know,
and you to find out.



Like rivers never cease to flow,
Like the birds will never stop singing,
Like donuts will always be sweet,
Never stop believing in hope.

Its finally here.... XD

First term exams are finally over....

Now we can breathe a little bit better...
Took a busload of pictures in school for fun since Thursday.
Just thought it proper since its our last first term exams.

Had science on thursday.

The next day we had maths. ARGH!!!!!
I need to practice more.
When it was still early in the morning.

He was "tired"

Managed to take a pic even though Pn Chong was in class. (teehee)

Seriously lorh...Who can forget Naim?

During the exam.....
I almost forgot to mention no one else except,
The Duck.
Ming Chal, cos we can't really see you that clearly in this pic, I have a better one.
LMAO.

Check out what Fazira drew on her paper cos she was bored.

And guess who's candid shot I finally managed to take.
Aha fakai.

Exams were finally over and we all took a sigh of relief.
Well even though its relief, enjoy it as much as you can, because its only temporary.

After school we had something in store for Wei Quan, reason being it was his birthday.
X)
He pretty much knew what was coming his way, but he still took it like a man. lol.
Like a man walking to the gallows.

So we went ahead with our prior plan.
Before.
After. lol.

Was bored at the bus stop so decided to take some pics there too.
We've been friends for 5 years now, yet I still don't get you 60% of the time. lol

Went to pick up Dad from the airport later.
The sun was setting while we were on the highway so I took the opportunity.
Beautiful ain't it?
I know someone who is of greater beauty and wonder.

This is fast becoming a photo blog.
Gah...a few deep thought/brooder posts wouldn't hurt.

So just as the sun has to set and the end of the day,
so must a chapter in life end,
and give way to a new chapter in life.
Rebirth huh?
Interesting.

-Bk-

He said brood, and thus it was born.

I should be studying but instead I'm either brooding or blogging.
What's new?
Decided to post up less brooding or emo posts di.
No one really reads them.

And this is how my journal was born.
About 5 seconds ago.

Any emo or brooding or deep thought posts shall from now on all go there.

Oh yeah....
I forgot to mention a long time ago.
Must've slipped my mind.
They're going to kill me.

I've just joined in as an author in flawlessdamage.blogspot.com!
Check it out if you want to stone or laugh.
Link's on the side.



Till next post,
au revoir

Stop me if you've heard this before

Wow.
March already?
Our first-term exams have already begun, and the days seem to just whizz by faster and faster.
Before you know it we'll be out of school and off to our tertiary studies.
Desmond keeps reminding me that this is our last year in school.
But somehow it doesn't really feel like it.
It doesn't feel like its the last year where you and all of your friends will all be together for the last time.
It doesn't feel like its the last year you can joke around in class with your mates.
It doesn't feel like its the last year you have to enjoy canteen food (I'm not saying everything's good)
It doesn't feel like its the last year to do something,
anything,
to say, "I did not waste 11 years of my life in school."
The last year to make a difference.
I never really got used to the idea of waking up at 5.45 in the morning to go to a place where older people just seem to be pissed off with you all the time.
Where the toilets stink to high heaven almost constantly,
where some of the teachers are just plain pricks,
where the homework just perpetually comes,
where you have to sit down the whole day listening to the teacher in the front,
and having only a 20-minute break.

someone once said, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Somehow this year feels different.
I'm not making much of a difference in my school, but the school has made a heck of a lot of a difference in me.
I guess one of the main reason's I'm going to miss school isn't really the homework,
or the seemingly endless lessons,
the long-winded lectures and what not.
Its the people.
Teachers, classmates, everyone.

If you really think about it for a second,
a church isn't just limited to a building.
The church is also the people in the building.

In the same way,
a school isn't just limited to a bunch of buildings in a plot of land.
Imagine what school would be like with out teachers and students.
Nothing but a bunch of empty buildings in a plot of land.

All of us define what school's really about.
Everything we do in school defines what its really about.
No Sekolah Harapan Negara, or whatever award of the highest recommendation can ever define what a school is about.
And you define how your experience in school is going to be about.
Like an old man ponders about how he's lived his life when he nears his end,
I ponder about how I've lived my school life now that its nearing its end.

I'm going to miss three things from this school.
Everything that its about,
My friends,
and especially,
you.

Going out alone sucks.

I got an okay amount of sleep on the count of staying up till 2.

Which is something I haven't done since the year-end holidays.
*yawn* But it was worth it =]
Woke up in the morning and saw mushrooms growing around a tall pot in the garden.
I took a pic of it before I ripped it out just in case my dog ate them.

Later, went to DJ to meet up with the rest of the Cc's to go for the youth rally at ssmc.
But I had to come early because of transport.
I hate going out alone.
And I especially hate going to cybercafes and eating lunch at restaurants alone.
Oh by the way, KFC sucks. Waste of money eating there.
After lunch, walked around Atria and bumped into Keith.
After that, walked to Dan's in-law's house to meet up.
Brandon Lau arrived a little later and we all went to SSMC.
For those of you who haven't a clue where SSMC is, its a church in Kg. Kayu Ara.
What SSMC stands for however, I haven't a clue.
Took a few pics while I was there.
When we registered in for the youth rally, we were given envelopes with group numbers on them and some stuff inside.
Some notes, a bookmark, and my favourite, a shoelace.
Me likey :)

It wasn't exactly easy to put on so needed help.
Bran, you're an instant poser la.

Our cell/siao leaders. =D

You can either wear it on your wrist or around your ankles!

Worship was a little stoned, but it was still kinda good.Oh yea, SSMC's main hall has flags of ever country on earth.

Then we had games too.
We had to play a game called, "walk in their shoes."
We had to take off both our shoes and we had to wear other people's shoes and run around.
Or something like that. :P
Our emcee's for the day, forgot their names.

Haiz....I had a little bit of trouble understanding at first the point of the game.

Oh, and my cousin was the speaker for the afternoon.
We watched a video on Christians persecuted in other countries.
Wow.
For all of you, who are Christian, live in Malaysia, and reading this,
you have no idea how good we have it here.
I'll save that talk for another day.
They then split us up into groups to discuss about our opinions on the lessons learned in the video.And we had to write it on mahjong paper

My group members: Justin (left) and Daryl.
She was in my group too but I forgot her name. =.=

We were then given a big picture of a shoe, to write down messages of consolation, hope, a few words just to say hang in there, to the people living in countries where they're persecutedfor their faith.
I look weird in this picture.

Till next time,
au revoir
Votre beauté vivra pour toujours dans mes mots.
