Giant Carrot Orrange

Wow, it was tiring after playing badminton. So, it's time for dinner. Kitt dropped me back for a shower, then we're heading to iDi's (outside TTS2) with Chung Tsang and Ren Yi (Kitt's housmates).

At first, iDi's has nothing special but just a normal mamak shop to me, until I accidentally ordered something exciting last week. Here I am for that again :P. Behold, the SUPER LARGE size carrot orrange juice!

I ordered nasi goreng mushroom as well. Not bad, not as oilly as other fried rice that I take elsewhere. Chung Tsang had maggie goreng and SUPER LARGE apple + orrange juice. Ren Yi had nasi goreng kampung/kangkung and also SUPER LARGE carrot orrange just like mine. Kitt is nasi goreng sosej and carrot orrange jiuce + milk SUPER LARGE.

Hoho! It's a bit tough to finish this "cup" of thing. I bet it's more than 1 litre. Ren Yi really have a hard time dealing with it. Kitt goes slow and steady~ Haha! So syok!

In Jeremiah 18:3-4, "So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so the potter squahsed the jar into a lump of clay and started again." Human has sinful nature. We are just like the first jar, but the LORD did not squashed us. Instead, in the kingdom of God, our sin is forgiven and we are renewed. Pray that Jason will be able to cope up with his new study life in Monash. Also pray that I could have good result (gonna be revealed on Monday >_<). I just knew that Robert had been offered a job by another big company ... again... he gonna belanja me lunch for my prayers ^_^. I also pray that for my coursemates that don't get their "expected" result, don't be sad, keep on praying and have faith, God is always there for YOU! In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Christopher's 22nd Birthday

It was Chris' 22nd birthday on Monday (23rd Feb), my classmate in Nottingham Uni. Well, because of playing badminton and the sudden Genting trip... somehow I'm getting closer to their gang, hoped it's a good thing to happen. I got a blueberry cheesecake from Tesco and asked Beng Keat to prepare some FUN since Chris never "play wild" for birthday.

Around 10p.m at night, we met at the uni bridge, the we go to Chris house together. There were like almost 10 of us (me, Yin, William, Lynn, Charly, Beng Keat, Zi Jian) including Willie and Wina (Chris' housemate) who will open the gate for us from inside :P.

Willie and Wina made a pail of ... oil + flour + egg (the liquid looks yellowish with high viscousity) *this couple are somehow a bit scary...*. We were hiding behind the door while Willie asked Chris out, and we assult him from behind XD. Yeah! Mechanical Rocks! This poor Chris, cause never play wild before, just diam diam kena buli.

That's all? Of course not, we still have rotten eggs that kept for I think 2 months plus... thanks Zi Jian to sponsor the eggs *the eggs are seriously hard*.

Finally, Chris got high and started counter attack. The next round is water splashing! According to my experience, the level of wildness is exponantially proportianal to the number and damage recieved by the victims. It means that, when one people got wet, don't expect any of us there to be dry. In the end... everyone is like splashing each other.

OK, here comes the birthday cake. There goes a lousy-sang birthday song by all of us followed by Chris making a wish... (Aiya... should make Chris to give a speech about how he felt).

Blueberry cheesecake:

For those that can't effort to get wet, we offer them extra cakes! Mua ha ha ha! Of course, base on my experience again, the level of wildness is exponantially proportianal to the number and damage recieved by the victims. Which means that, most of us are assulted with cakes again... Some of us even continued splashing water.

Bluberry Lynn:

It's been so long since I make myself so "loud", never expect that I can still bring this personality into this uni. Anyway, as long as Chris is happy with that little fun, it's OK. I'm quite glad being with this gang too. Something incredible is, Chris promised to come for bible study tonight, Yeah!

In Jeremiah 15:19, The LORD says "If you return to me, I will restore you so you can continue to serve me. If you speak words that are worthy, you will be my spokesman. You are to incluence them; do not let them influence you!" I believe the LORD has perfect timing for everything, when I'm almost out of faith, he brings me back, and everytime, the holy spirit gets stronger.

Heard that Shaun got a job (wow... people like him... ahem), praise the LORD. Thank you Shaun to give some of your time for my "Above All". It was also Cheryl's birthday yesterday (24th Feb), happy birthday Cheryl! You had really helped me a lot in my spiritual growth for this one year. May God bless both of their future. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Group Project: Can Opener

Another design project has started. This time, it's a whole new grouping of 8 people and we will need to design a can opener. What can a can opener do? Other than opening can, it's opening my head now (cracking my brain)!

If it's a normal can opener that we're gonna do, it won't bring me so many troubles. The criteria is, we have to design a one-handed can opener (where the name implies, the can opener should be able to operate by using only one hand), and it must be something new.

Well, it's possible for us to apply motor and electrical components in our design, but it would be cool if we can come out with a total mechanical one-handed can opener. The worst case is, we have to make it as a business plan and present it 3 weeks later.

So many types of can opener:

It was raining heavily this afternoon. I was taking a break watching anime after coming back from church, before my dreadful day doing my lab report and sketching the can opener concept starts.

Well, this is a brilliant concept that my groupmate Jun Wong thought of, by triggering the 2 buttons beside the can opener, it turns the gears inside. The gear-screw mechanism convert rotational motion to translational motion.

The blade will recieve the motion and pierce into the can wall, while a gear will be holding the can wall at another side. A locking mechanism should be added to ensure the blade is still piercing the can wall while the buttons are released. So that this baby can be operated by one hand only.

Then, the twister is turned to rotate the gear, which also rotates the can wall around for the blade to cut. It's still an initial sketch, so it still needs a lot of modification. I wish this concept works...

I spent my night drawing this sketch ... hopefully it's useful for tomorrow's group meeting (I know my drawing is bad).

Today, I'm reading Jeremiah 12 and in verse 15, "But afterward I will return and have compassion on all of them. I will bring them home to their own lands again, each nation to its own inheritance." Thank you Lord for taking me back on track when I'm falling to the wrong path, thanks for Your unfailing forgiveness. Pray that Jason will has a good start in Monash Uni, the first few weeks will be tough but please be with him. Also pray that our bible study group will be growing in the good direction. Please bless us with wisdom and passion to reach out. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Valentine Weekend in Nilai

Back in Nilai again
Colin had a chance to worship lead last Sunday, so he urged me and Audri to join him in the team. Brother Wai Hon (landlord of the student house) was there in Nilai too, as a professional (I think so...) photographer, he had a good talk with Audri about cameras and taking pictures (and Audri was so impressed). He owns a Canon EOS 5D which costs more than 8k USD, Audri was almost crazy to touch that baby.

Pictures I took when we're walking to college.

At night, Uncle Chan and family brought me and Brother Wai Hon to Tania for supper, while Colin and Audri stayed at home practicing the songs. I was supposed to stay too, but KTT took the keyboard, so I guess I'm not counted that Sunday. Of course, with photography topic, Charles had a good talk with Brother Wai Hon too, me and Cheryl had the same feeling that Charles talked so much on that night (which is quite contrast with his personality in public).

Blended Tea Tarik:




On the right is Earl Grey tea, it's so so so nice!

It was so late at night, me and Colin had nothing to do and planned to trick Audri (he's sleeping). I don't think I can elaborate more on this, let the pictures tell the story.

Colin masking himself so that he don't laugh:


Ta da~ this happened at 5a.m:

Our Valentine's Day
Robert arrived the next day (14th Feb, Valentine's Day) and they had a full band practice at home. I followed Uncle Chan out to run an errand. While we're going back, one of the tyre is hit by a screw, so we have to change the tyre. Yeah! Uncle Chan told me how to change tyre (have no doubt, it's my first time doing it).

Then, we drove to a nearby workshop to change the tyres, Uncle Chan also asked me to a nearby convinient shop to buy a can opener since the one in his house was spoiled. Incredible! I see all 3 of my design projects in one shot! I bought a CAN OPENER (my current design project), the worker in the workshop used PNEUMATIC MOTOR driven bolt opener to loosen the tyre's bolts (my previous project). Also, I see the BRAKE SHOE and PLATE of the wheel (my first project)! Can't believe my Valentine's Day could be so exciting.

After removing the tyre from a wheel, can see the brake shoe and plate:


Car Jack:

Me, Colin, Robert and Sam were invited to the Chan's house for dinner. Audri chose to hang out with Tze and the gang. The food was nice, as always, but the best part is ... THE CAKE~ Strawberry Cake! So many strawberries, and it's so sweet! Which is SO NICE! Thanks Cheryl!
Don't get us wrong, we're not celebrating Valentine's Day, we are celebrating Aunty Elizabeth's brithday only! *Haha*

Sunday Service
Here comes the big day, it's Sunday Service again. Audri, Colin, Robert and Charles were preparing the instruments and sound checking. I'm not in, so I joined the ushers to welcome the others.

In a sudden, one of the KTT students came and brought the keyboard along (!). Uncle Chan, Aunty Elizabeth and Cheryl, all asked me whether want to play or not, but I was changing tyre when they practiced, I don't know the songs. So I decided not to play instead of messing up the whole team, I'll just let God make the decision. Everyone enjoyed the service though... so I guess I made a right choice.

God is Good... So Good
Chris was preaching, and suddenly Colin sms me (nah, this is the importance of silent mode!), here's the conversation through sms:

Colin :"do you wanna set up the keybaord later?"
Me :" For what?"
Colin :" How great is our God, c'mon!"
*"How great is our God" is the song title they're gonna play for the closing song.*
Me :"won't it be troublesome?"
Colin :" Not for God."

OK, at this moment, I stunt. I hold on my handphone looking at the message, unable to think of any word to reply, think and think and think. Finally, the reply from was... "Oh". C'mon, what was I thinking, serving the LORD is all about commitment, all about the heart to worship, I just posted the lesson on my previous post Above All and now I'm doing the mistake.

Chris finished preaching and was praying, my handphone vibrated, an instruction from Colin's sms "Now!". I was like... "you serious?". I saw Colin giving signal to Audri (coz Audri's near to him), and Audri's heading to the keyboard... So, I just stood up, touched Robert's shoulder, giving a signal that says "Back me up". So, Robert did some guitar plucking which covers up the "akwardness" of setting up the keyboard suddenly. Audri and I complete setting the keyboard just when Chris finished praying. Thanks everyone!

Well, "How Great Is Our God" is not a tough song in A major, not saying that I'm good but... it's a common song that I played for Shaun, Audri, Carl, Cheryl, Charles and so many other worship leaders before. However, this time it's different, something is not usual, not by chords, not by styles, but by the spirit of the LORD. Somehow, I now understand God really had a perfect plan, and it's the best for each and everyone of us.

Probably, most of you will be thinking something about me now (ah.. nvm, who cares how ppl think bout me)... I just don't know how to describe it by words... It's also funny thinking that I'm such a big boy now and still need others to take care of me... Anyway, thanks Colin, thanks a lot.

In Jeremiah 7:5, " I will be merciful only if you stop your wicked thoughts and deeds and are fair to others." I thank God for blessing me with helpful sheperds that guided me all along my spiritual growth. I pray for Robert that might work in Nilai 3 which offers him better (in terms of pay and benefits). May God be with him wherever he are. Also pray for Lawren's mother that worked so hard to support her whole family, may God brings mercy to her family. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Happy Valentine's Day 09

For your precious info, I have never dated anyone in my life yet, and of course it means I have no girlfriend yet. Erm... I prefer to keep myself single and fresh until I'm stable and mature enough in handling a relationship.

Well, at least for last yaer, it was a busy Valentine's Day for me. Nilai UC Youth Repertoire (Music Club) organized a song dedication event to your lover called Love.FM, and I'm in the committee. I'm supposed to get as much song files from everyone so that our customers have more choices of songs. It took me 1 whole night to arrange the songs so that they are played in sequence according to the dedication list, plus the slide shows for who dedicate to who and their messages.

At that night, a few of us from the Music Club were performing at Flamme's Restaurant for the Valentine's Dinner. We had the priviledge to enjoy the dinner too, but everyone there were using table for 2, except us (almost 6 people). Those are the nice old days.

Well, here's a little piece of entertainment, Happy Valentine's Day. No offence to non-engineering students, it's just a joke I found from the net.

Good Reasons for Girl to Date an Engineer
An engineer boyfriend can provide you with a secure lifestyle. At 27 years old, an engineer probably has a respectable, stable job that gives him high income to own a car, invest, have a comfortable life, and get married and buy a house too. Law graduates are still working as a lowly apprentice in law firm, most management graduates have just failed on their first business plan, the arts graduate is still looking for a job, and the medical school graduate is still living in a hospital.

Unmatchable industriousness an engineer boyfriend will dedicate an unimaginable amount of his time and effort to understand you. Engineers strain really really hard to understand their work. You can believe that they will try really really hard to understand women too, just like how they understand their work, once they believe that you are the one. So even if they don't understand you initially, they will keep on trying. Even if they still do not understand, they will figure out the correct method to keep you happy (e.g. Buy diamond ring = 1 week's worth of happiness.) and once they find out the secret formula, they will just keep on repeating it so that the desired results appear. Unlike the lawyer who will argue with you, the management graduate who will try to control your spending, the arts graduate who will 'change major', and the medical school graduate who will operate on you.

And you know what, it's really so easy to make engineers believe that you are the 'one'. Say that you like one of their projects and they will be hooked to you forever. Trust an engineer boyfriend will never betray your trust. Let me first tell you what is wrong with the rest of the others - the lawyers will lie about everything, management graduates will cheat your money, the arts graduate will flirt, and you probably just look like another cadaver to the medical school graduate.

Your engineer boyfriend is either too busy to have an affair, and even if he does, he is too dumb to lie to you about that. Hence, an engineer is the most secure boyfriend that you will ever find - rich enough, will keep on trying to understand and please you, has no time for affairs, and too dumb to lie to you!! Just like this guy here:

This is a simple video that I made, wishing every couple and single Happy Valentine's Day. There's always someOne that love us so much, no matter what we did, and who we are.

Jeremiah 4:1 "If you wish to return, return to Me". Short yet meaningful, no matter whatever we did, there is only one place to return, and one need to be in Christ to redeem our place in heaven. The whole heaven rejoice when one return. Pray that LORD bless us a wonderful Valentine's Day and let each other encourage their another half to walk closer to Christ. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Simple Yet Challenging Meal

The night that I came back from Mid Valley, I had enough walking and don't feel like going to uni to have dinner. Besides, I'm not really hungry yet (ate quite late in Mid Valley) until it's around 9p.m. I can feel a bit of stomach activity and decided to make something to eat from my frozen foods.

Well, it's my first time making myself a dinner that's more than 3 courses. The little white "container" on the left at the picture below is used to boil egg, got it from Tesco with Rm2.80 *I broke the egg myself! HUURAY*. Also prepared some bun and in they go to the microwave ^_^.

Course 1: Bun Bun
I have no idea how long should I heat it... I turned the timer to 3 mintues. After 3 mintues, I took out both the egg and got shocked because my buns have black things coming out! Of course, the first thing to do is consult Hinn, he said the thing inside flow out cause it's too hot... At that moment, I realized that they were dou sa 豆沙 inside.

Course 2: Egg
The egg was half cooked, then I continued heating the egg for another 2 minutes. Then there goes a "pop" sound (around 1 minutes heating)... I quickly stopped it and took the egg out. It looks... OK.

Course 3: Ham
Next, it's the ham. The question is, I just took it out from the freezer, and they are solid hard. I don't want to finish all of them, but how should I seperate them since they're sticking hard with each other? So I asked Audri again, he was explaining half way that soak the thing into water and wait til it became soft. Somehow he noticed I don't understand (or he expected), and he did this step for me :P.

Course 4: Red Bean
Suddenly, I just noticed we don't have kicap in my house. It felt sort of wierd to eat egg without kicap. So brilliant me thought of a wonderful plan. I'll use red bean! This is the easiest of all, open the red bean can, pour all of them into the container, and heat it for 1 minute. Ta da~

There goes my dinner. It took me almost 1 hour to do all these stuffs. Anyway, the result is quite satisfting. I made my own dinner again! Mua ha.

In Jeremiah 2:24, You are like a wild donkey, sniffing the wind at mating time. Who can restrain your lust? Those who desire you do not even need to serach, for you come running to them! Lust is a sin, the thing that seperate us from God. It's true that temptation is everywhere, sin is already a naturral existence to human, but by God's grace, we are forgiven. So we as children of God, will try all our best to sin no more. I pray that God will guide us with wisdom and power to overcome the hardship we are facing in our studies. Draw us close, and break darkness that blinded us with Your glorious light. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
