Baked

I baked bread yesterday from 9:30 am til 11:30 am to make the dough and everything in shape of a crossant, then the cooking processs was long since my mom and I made lots of crossants that'll last til this weekend (since I like eating bread). Where the cooking in oven took up until 4:30pm when the bigger crossants went in and finished...I mean seriously we made big ones! first small medium sized one then big ones!
The Bread was all gooey and oozey at first, then mashed it manually with hands (since we don't have fancy wancy machines like they to in bakeries) until it was a dough like ready for kneading! and the kneading part is the best part of it, pushing rolling, fliping and folding! Then comes the rolling it down with this rolling thingy they use in bakeries and then folded three times!
After that rolling the bread dough into looking like a real crossant, let it rise for a couple of minutes (and I mean really rise! and All Fluffy looking). Then into the oven it goes for 25mins, and presto! crossants baked! smells so good that it makes your stomach grumbled even though you're full and it's aromatic smell makes your heart so light that you want to eat the bread! AND THE TASTE! umei! Delious! Hao Chi! ANG SARAP! Crunchy in the outside and fluffy and soft in the inside!

Okay Like I promise, some pictures of the baking:

The other is swiss roll one of my favorite breads!

And also, I've complete my Harry Potter series just by mom purchasing it for me, the First and the Third one (which I already read long time agon in a school library far far away). And also finished the Godfather's Revenge last night when I only started it from monday afternoon. Now well I'm saving money to buy The Hundred Secret Senses, Falling Leaves, Stardust (before it was turned into a movie), Neverwhere and soon if I get to bookshop again, Gulag, it was one of their new arrivals so I;m interested you know? I'm a very curious reader!

So anyways, I got to go and watch the episode of Naruto I downloaded.

See You when I see you!

Don't Know

I don't know why I'm such a caring person, it's my nature probably..
I don't know why I'm such a helpful person, it's my nature probably..
I don't know why I'm too nice and kind person, it has to be my nature probably
I don't know why I'm such a gentleman, it really is my nature..
I don't know why I'm quite a witty person, witty pity?
I don't know why I'm such a quiet person while virtually the opposite, introvergent am I? I'm an only child hope you can understand me,
I don't know why I'm cheerful, is it a bad thing to be cheerful? I don't think so..
I don't know why I'm joyful at times, is it a bad thing to be joyful? I don't think so..
I don't know why I'm emotional and sensitive, it has to be my nature or my chinese and western horoscope..
I don't know why I can be happy at times and then mood swings, Human nature I suppose?
I don't know why I'm very optimistic, people say it's a bad thing (while others say it's a good thing) and better of being cynical but I differ and say Optimism is important in our life, everyone needs alittle optimism,
I don't why do I control my anger, it's in a ball of anger controlled and calm,
I don't how did I learn not show emotion nowadays, impassiveness..
I don't know why I'm such a dreamer, dreaming is virtual while reality is painful,
Why I don't know these things?
Is it my nature?
Is it my instinct?
Is it the way I was a brought up?
I don't know
I can a spoiled boy sometimes,
But these things I don't know,
I questioned myself why,
My answer is I don't know.
Hindi Ko Alaam..
Wo bu zhi tao..

Such A Chore

Blogging is such a chore that it becomes a priorty to blog at least once,
Reading is such a shore that you got to shift your body while reading an interesting book,
Playing games is such a chore that fingers get tired and bore whenever you tap,
Web-Browsing is such a chore that you get eye strains,
Instant-Messaging via msn and yahoo is such a chore that you're actually improving your typing speed,
Cook is such a chore that everything just goes black rather than brown,
Watching TV is such a chore that you yawn a couple of times,
Going Out is such a chore that you get tired easily after a half an hour strolling,
Learning something is such a chore as your brain reaches a break down limited,
Things I cannot stop myself from doing it, is such a chore really it's like a daily routine,
Everything is such a chore that you bore or tire yourself,
Sleeping is not a chore as it relaxes you!
So sleep well! Brush your teeth by the way!

Okay, I just finished a book in one day, which is an achievement that is shocking really. I'm serious, I've never read that fast in my life. I can still remember what happened in The Godfather Returns by Mark Winegardener. Anyways, yesterday bought five books, I think I told someone what I bought recently, anyways the books were American Gods and Amnsi Boys By Neil Gaiman, The Dark Arena, Omerta and The Fourth K by Mario Puzo. Now I just have to finish those book until mid-next month so I can at least get the books I was recomended last night by a fellow bookworm Lu Wee, Amy Tan's The Hundred Secret Senses and Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah.

So that's it what happen yesterday, went out bought books! And happy to have Mario Puzo's first Novel The Dark Arena which makes it one more to go to complete my Mario Puzo Collection! And today finished one other book I bought in Philippines! So I'll be off to read!

Wo xihuan kan shu. hai shi Wo ai kan shu! [feel free to correct my rusty mandarin]
Mahilig ako bumasa ng libro!

Side Note: About 15 to 20 Character have died/killed/beaten up in Mario Puzo's The Godfather Novel while the Godfather Movie also Screenwritten by Mario Puzo had 10 Characters have died/killed/beaten up. Big difference from Novel and Movie oui?

Another Fact about me[FAM]: I'm a Godfather of a close family friend's son for 6 years.

[No Title]

I got a feeling that I might blog again....in which am doing....I got a feeling I blogged so much during febraury [looks at archieve] I did blog so many times than I did before.

It's called Obsessive Addiction

We're addicted or freaks on somethings like books, bread, food, games, and so on.

Over Sleeping

I was suppose to wake up 8:30am today but instead I woke up 9:55am which kind of weird and made wonder "what happened to my mobile phone alarm?" So I checked my mobile phone and it's dead...somehow I forgot to charge it yesterday! bummed about that happening since I was such a happy mood today why? it's Sunday! and Stores are open! Time to get two Mario Puzo Books and Two Neil Gaiman books! and with my fingers-crossed I hope to win the reader's digest prize of US$100 for a joke I sent, I just hope so though! With US$100 i can get so many more books, anime and games! [grins cheesey]

Lately I've been over sleeping somehow, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I've been tired recently though, Tuesday and Thursday Night school, Wednesday and Friday Choir practices and Wednesday, Friday and Saturday I have musical lessons but ain't going to tell what is it. And reading books, typing posts, browsing the net, Playing Xbox 360, practicing, revising and watching some TV shows that are interesting like the F Word in AFC. I guess it's a good thing since well it get rids some tireness but it can be a bad thing since it ruins my biological and psychological sleeping habits. Likewise only get 8 hours of sleep no more no less, but I always feel like garfield since well lazy and overly sleep and eating food.

This week I'll be baking bread! I'll snap some shots to show ya!

Have nice and peaceful day!

Tastes like chicken

Chicken Chicken?
Chicken chicken duck?
chicken chicken chicken eagle!!
chicken chicken chicken chicken ayamku...
chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken manok...
chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken .....I forgot chicken in mandarin
Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken chicken chicken ....I forgot chicken in french
Chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken gooose!
Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken chicken chicken chicken falcon!
Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken Chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken is now cooked!

Confession

Okay, I'm going to confess. You heard me right, confess.

I love bread, I really love bread especially if it's yummy and cheesey baked together. Yum. Crossants looked yummy like the moon has turned to cheese then consumed by either jerry or mickey.

I love reading, I'm a bookworm and proud to be one. My true home is the library, the school library that is, we I'd read and do school work. But Reading library book were interesting and the librarian knew that every once in week I go and borrow about 5 books and sometimes asked for an extension for a book or two I haven't finished reading. Now I've been spending most of my money on books like the monthly reader's digest and whatever history book or interesting novel that catches my eye. Likewise enter dan brown, neil gaiman, mario puzo, mark winegardener, steve berry and a few more. Also I have some books well loads of book in philippines I've sea-fraighted last year, now the number of books have slightly increased in my two shelfed book-case. Likewise, I'm setting up a mini-library for my books and if you are in philippines, email me and I'll be greatful to let you read through my books.[Also, I am still stunned that the book had more characters getting beaten up and killed while the movie had 5 to 8 characters getting killed]

I love watching anime, oh yeash I do. That's where most of money went to also. ANIME, I've now currently got the full season one of naruto, full three seasons of full metal panic, and full sets of several animes mostly on samurai stuff and school related anime. Only thing I hate about anime is when it's dubbed into english. Why I hate it? It removes the emotion of the characters and also it sounds absolutely weird with the english. Also, anime isn't a cartoon for children! I mean seriously the violence, the humor is not for a child can take.

I love video games, I'm a gamer what can I do. Small amount of my money has gone into games apart from before the playstation 2. Where games is loved and craved the most in my free time other than reading, but somehow reading is now dominant than gaming for which I wonder why though.

I love my friends, I miss them dearly. I miss BGIC V I met great people [I mention some now but I'm lazy to list it down]. I miss my three best friends (refering to picture of the week), they're now overseas doing university life. I miss my school friends, the fun we had and good laughs in class. The only thing I hope for is that they keep contact with me through email or air mail or whatever mail, even pigeon mail maybe useful. Another thing I am hopeful is that I might crossroads with them some day, you never know. My psycho course takes four years approx and I have the freedom to go anywhere I want to finish it off, likewise japan, singapore, brunei, austrailia, malaysia, korea or anywhere in asia-ocenia [exclude the middle east] will do as long it's close to home. Yes, I'm hoping and wishing that I may cross roads with ya'll again. And like Don Coaleone of The Godfather novel, I value friendship.

I love my family, they're important in my life. They're like diamonds, impreccable and irraplaceable platiums. I'm a mixture of 75% Filipino 20% Chinese and 5% Spanish. I've got some chinese blood thanks to my dad's mom and my mom's mom, where they're half chinese, my mom's dad a full blood filipino while my dad's dad is filipino with spanish heritage. Which is why people always thought I'm full-blooded tanned chinese (somehow korean/japanese when I had my hair long in philippines) which I smiled and grinned and said "Nope, wo shi feliupin-ren." Okay, moving on. Family they're important, that's why most of my celebrations is together with them at most times. Family priorty number one since they've provided me with almost everything.

There you that's my confession of things I love

Now go and drink that water you're longing to drink since you're thirsty. And I gotta go and read another books since the godfather book I've finished already. The next post coming soon will a comparison of that book and the movie.

Have a Very Nice day/evening/midnight/dawn/sunset/sunrise/whatever time it is

Brunei National Day

Brunei National Day Today! Yipee Public Holiday! boo bookstores are closed! boo I can't buy any books! (other than the fact that the only book i bought yesterday afternoon was a biography on Hitler and Stalin)

Anyways, Have A Nice National day!

Jargons or whatever they're called

I'm going to be honest, I used to type like this:

hlo, hw r u? im fne. wht u doin? ic, myb u bttr cncntrte on da hmwrk u r doin. I dnt rly knw wht m i tlkng abt tho. I tink da my spllng scks. I knw hw 2 spll. Sry it's in shrtct frm ya. I jst hpe u cn udrstnd wht m i tryng 2 sy hre.Ppl cn u hr me!

Also I this form is commonly annoying (by the way, i don't type like this and I'VE NEVER TYPED LIKE THIS):

I ThoT I tOlD YoU THaT I WoUlDn'T TYpe LiKE THis. I KnOw It'S ANNOYING!

I know it looks like a bunch of giberish words you won't really understad right? That typing is for well mobile phone sms, chatting on your mobile phone and also via yahoo/msn chatting. I well, grew out of in the course of after my first year in IB, where I heard from my english teacher and ITGS teacher told us students that people who type in that form are most likely to have wrong spellings in their exam papers or essays. Which is true having researched that in ITGS under education, where students are most like to write in that form in exams and get no marks at all.

Now to me, it's a bunch of giberish sometimes because well some I won't be able to understand at all while some I still can as I have it imprinted to my mind on what it means when I was using it during year 10 to early 12.

When ever I see this type of typing in social networking profiles of some of my friends (who are some actually my cousins), I wonder. How the chicken little would people understand they're trying to say.

So, Join me in the fight against these jargons! We dnt Wnt dis 2 hppn in da ftre rlly!

Side note: only these are acceptable: gtg (got to go [duh everyone knows this]), brb (be right back [again, everyone knows this]), btw (by the way [again, same reason]), LOL [laugh out loud]), ROFLOL [rolling on the floor laughing out out[same reason]). OMG (oh my god[same reason]).

Okay before I list all the chatting/internet slangs. Only chatting/internet slangs is acceptable since well they're understandable unlike typing lke dis. (just hope we don't use internet slang in our test papers and our daily conversations to people)

200

It's my 200th post as a blogger and I have no idea what to talk about, which skcus, I think I have an idea...first of all, thanks to my readers (list as follows by the fellow bloggers list), thanks to everyone of course.

Self-interview (you may use these questions if you want to)

When did you started blogging?
Around 2005, after or before the FA-Cup finals where arsenal or manchester united won...I think it was manchester united. Anyways, I used msn spaces as my blog for only a year until I stopped for 6 months I think.

Why did you not blog for 6months?
Personal reasons, I wanted to re-discover myself which I did when I was in the philippines. And also there was a heck load of work to do during IB. Where I did everything in a single year to finish it. Where I was the first one to finish a 4000 word essay and of course CAS was done, IAs, DT projects were done and only the TOK which I finished later that year which was 2006 til early 2007.

What was your other blog other than this one?
Multiply, I blogged frequently until I discovered blogspot. Before that was msn spaces of course, and inbetween those two was in myspace which I end up copying and pasting my multiply posts but ended up not using it anyways. No point really.

What is your view on freedom of speech?
Likewise, we all have the right to speak our minds out. And of course blogs, newspapers, novels and all kinds of media counts as freedom of speech. Even politicians used blogs as their promotion for people to vote for them. But however, there are countries that has government censorship, likewise clear example in the recent news is malaysia where a blogger was arrested, singapore also a blogger arreted and of course china where media censorship at most effective.

What precautions you take before blogging?
I always think what I want to blog, and I always think and becareful who I may offend or insult. Which I learned it the hard way one of my old blogs where I was overly patriotic. But now, I am not that patriotic as most people nowadays.

What kind of blogger are you?
Well, I was called a blogger makes everything beautifully boring....which I don't believe is true in any ways, especially that comment was from some one who only blogged for four months only and then never blogged afterwards. I consider myself as a life blogger which is common to everyone, and also a random blogger where I tend to blog about random things that comes to my mind like the 90s post.

Why do you blog? and How did you started of as a blogger?
How? I just stumbled acrossed it really, I was browsing around until I saw this post a blog icon in my msn contact card so that's where I started as a blogger. Why I blog? of course to keep updating my friends who are now abroad in malaysia, austrailia, singapore, united kingdom and anywhere or where ever they are now. Also, blogs are used as a way of contact since the tag box is there for reason right?

How many posts have you made so far?
This is my 200th post actually, I'm just in a idea-jet-lag, where I don't know what am I going to talk about.

Where are you going after a few months or weeks time?
Philippines of course, to study in college. Study psychology then head the medicine direction of psychology. Which I am hoping that I don't turn psycho. And I'll be turning vegan soon as well.

So, what will happen to this blog?
It will be inactive for a couple of weeks and early or late month of May. Since I'll be reading books and playing sports and video games. Why? I won't have internet connections within those weeks upon my arrival.

Personal question, how old are you? are you single or taken? what age did you start blogging?
That's quite personal you know? I'm turning 19 this year...I feel old if I talk about my age. I'm single until after my studies, I'll focusing on my studies. Why? heck broken hearts have a bad effect on a student and also love can be quite harmful on a student as well, especially if it was at first sight or the first time, which is definately pointless. I start blogging when I was 16.

Anti-Social or Social (introvergent or extrovergent)?
Anti-social, why? I've always have been the quiet one in my life. But I'm socialable virtually. I can socialable at times only when spoken to but still I'm mr nice/quiet-guy.

Name 5 things you can't live without?
Okay this is getting personal. God, Family, Friends, Laptop, Books.

Would you turn your blog private or keep it public?
I was thnking about it recently. Turn it private or not. Private effectively blocks off public people. While keeping it public would mean, like now my blog is perfectly fine to the public masses to view...I don't know really, private or public....

Final question, why did you change your url?
HAHAHA why? I wanted to change it because the link was getting old. so yea, that's the reason I changed it.

Thank you
Who are you?

I'm the interviewer
Ahh so desu ka. So what am I then?

You're the interviewee and the blogger.
Ahh so desu ka.

Anyways that's my self interview. On blogging and small little personal thing. That's my idea for my 200th post.

So thank you! my thank you list is upon my fellow blogger list!

The Godfather

I've, never seen so many characters have died one book, as well people getting beaten up. And yeas The Godfather novel has became my number one favorite book. And yes the book is better than the film. Why? quote from one of friends when talking about book to film "....imaginenation...." (I can't remember what came before and after that). It's true, books simply gave us more imaginenation and imagery of what's going on than the movies.

So my verdict: Book wins as it has more content than the movie, even though part 2 of the godfather shown one specific content of the novel which is the life of vito corleone. Movie loses because like all book to movie film, not including some of things that happened in the novel. But still it's still a film that's really worth watching over and over again.

Note: I will not be surprised if they made a re-make of the godfather, made the godfather part 4, good omens into a film and other old films into today's modern day film industry. [I just hope they're not as rubbish as some remakes today

90s

I miss the 90s, the years when we were young and free from everything. All we ever do is eat, tv, computer games, school and friends. Add sleep to that. We were free like a bird who didn't have a care in life, we were witty children and curious as we ever are.

The education wise was fun, like in sunshine school where we had lots of fun until the year 1 or grade 1 where the work just piles in. When I moved to ISB primary was more FUN than WORK.

Entertainment, we were blessed with amazing pop music (exclude britany Spears). We were also blessed with amazing cartoons like Flintstones, Jetsons, Tom and Jerry, Tom and Jerry Kids, Little Lulu, Scooby-doo, garfield, charlie brown, barney, seasme street, bug bunny and the gang, Mickey Mouse and his friends, Disney Movies were the best, The land before time vol. 1 to 3, and the introduction of 3d animation. Also not to mention the nice anime I've seen when I was a kid, though the anime in those day were aimed for kids and had nice morale endings. Like the one about a blind kendo student/teacher of a school and the football one.

Family wise, we were much close to parents as some of us are now. Well, meaning some of us are still close to our family and still love them no matter what, while some well, began to hate their parents and so forth so yea.

So, I'd like to say. I REALLY MISS THE 90s!

Read Read

I'm now addicted to reading, read read read, flips page, read read read.

I realize when I was in Philippines, when I don't have internet (which will probably happen for the first couple of weeks and months) I always read like a bookworm. I go to the bookshop and look for magazines and books so I can read as i don't want to be bored over playing video-game consoles all the time. (even though my cousins begged me to play, I still read my book)

I remember when I was reading Harry Potter and the deathly hollows, it took me 4 days and 5 nights to finish the book. How you ask? My grandparents sleep early while my parents are still watching TV, I'd follow my grandparents into their room. Where I'd sleep on the floor with a mattress, switched on on light and read. How long? from 9pm until 1/2am in the morning. Very long indeed. I even read inside the car because we were constantly going out doing errands and doing my grandparents jobs. Where I'd stay in the car and read like a good bookworm would.

The Plot Thickens

As I read the Godfather, the plot thickens, becoming even more interesting to read. How so? like the movie, but abit different. I guess the movie of this novel picked out all the important bits of the novel and put it into great detail like the characters and settings. Like for example the insult to Johnny Fontane when he talked to Don Coaleone about his problem which was actually a joke on him for not acting like a man due to showbiz he's became weak. So, one of the famous qoutes from novel is placed in the movie as well. Which is "A man who doesn't spend time with his family can never be a real man".

So yeash, I'm praising this novel so far.

As you know my excitement from my previous post of finding the novel. I'll tell you how i found it. (better take that cup of water in your mind right now, you're thirsty I know)

First thing I did was arrive at the mall in gadong around fifthteen minutes to one o'clock in the afteroon, thanks to my kind hearted dad who didn't let me drive but instead send me. I start of going to chong hock and buy myself an anime set of the latest episode of Naruto Shippuuden, I'm lazy to download the whole thing again, but I also forgot what movies I was suppose to buy too.

Then so after purchasing, I walked to EGM looked if there are any new latest xbox 360 games so my fingers can get a work out they need which they don't have any, so I continued walking towards the cineplex and saw an Iron Man trailer which I must say it'll be definately must watch film of 2008 as I am hoping not to be disappointed if there are any change of plots. Anyways, I went to the game shop in the cineplex, found turok but it didn't work so didn't buy it. Then continued walking around like as if it was a walkout. Then went to DVD/CD/VCD shops to take a look but nothing caught my eye.

So, after that I went to best eastern, a bookshop at the ground floor, checked for books like if anything catches my eye like reader's digest which I've been anxiously waiting for but no issue arrived yet.

So before I made a rapid call to my dad to pick me up, I deceided to walkabout some more. The Mall was quite not as full as it was in every salary/pay day week of brunei so it was coast clear. Then I deceided like I said in the previous post Book hunting, where in my mind Neil Gaiman's Amnsi Boys and American Gods was in my mind and also a biography of Hitler also interests me to look for. So I head my way to jaya centre-point (formerly known as Yohan). On my way day I went pass inside Mcdonald's, the fresh air of disgusting burgers and fastfood the look of people feeding their kids these food disgusts me. Also, fat people serving, I'm serious, the peope who serve there are fat. Okay moving on from my hatred of the fastfood industry (excluding Fratini's they're slow food like many chinese restaurants in brunei).

I arrive in jaya via walking, so I go up the start by the hotel and to my shock there's no sight of a bloody bookshop. I was in shock. So yeash, I went all the way back to the mall.
Then I decieded to walk all the way to bookers which is across the road. So I walked and walked until I reach booker.

Once I get inside the shop, I looked through the books, so many books, then walk slowily really slow sideways. Skim Skim and then my eyes widens! why I SAW THE GODFATHER, THE GODFATHER'S REVENGE, THE GODFATHER RETURNS, OMERTA, and THE FOURTH K. Among that list I only got The Godfather Returns which I've read, nice book very violent close to the ending. So I took the two books The Godfather and The Godfather's Revenge, with a big fat grin on my face. The guy at the cashier looked at me weirdly because well, no one really has a big smile, bearing teeth, I guess they don't really see happy people from bookshops. Actually, I felt like Yomiko Readman, the female character from Read or Die, I felt like a book lover who just found a book most desired. Okay I purchased the book and got home. So, I was the happiest man in the world.

Upon arriving at home in my room, I did my routine doing before reading the book. Which is smell the book, frizz the pages and smell it, fresh, flip through pages, looks good, since it's a special book i hugged it (call me weirdo), look at the cover, touch it, and now read it.

As you can see, under few hours of walking and searching of books, I completely forgot about getting a biography of hitler and Neil Gaiman's books. But instead I've became incredibly HAPPY as I got the book, and I still have a big smile on my face.

I want more books!

Found it!

Okay I AM THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD AT THE MOMENT!

why you ask?

I FOUND THE GODFATHER NOVEL BY MARIO PUZO

I'M REALLY HAPPY!!

All I need to buy now is omerta, fortunate pilgram and fourth k then I've completed my Mario Puzo collection!

Okay I am off to read the Novel I've been searching for two looong years!

But can you imagine this, I found it in Booker in Gadong! of all places! it's there! I've search far and wide in bookshops in philippines but it's just there! How? well I've been walking around gadong the mall aimlessly then decieded to go book hunting. So there.

Okay I go and read the book that made the BEST BOOK TO MOVIE EVER IN THE WHOLE MOVIE INDUSTRY! yes I'm recommending it to all movie goers and book goers out there! read THE GODFATHER BY MARIO PUZO and also THE MOVIE!

I should go now and read!

Emotionally Sensitive

Only a few of my friends and family knows this, so now I'm telling you this. I am emotionally Sensitive, or in short emositive (yes, that's a combination of the two. New word). And I get mood swings quite rare to sometimes.

It's true, and I'm being honest here. How so? Very so. Like I said I'm Fraigile, handle with care.

In line with the rules of a geminai snake.

Liverbird On A Shirt!

I'm sure you've heard Three Lions by the Lightning Seeds. I've edited the song to my liking as a liverpool support. So here's the original Song Three Lions by Lightning Seeds

We still believe, we still believe
We still believe, we still believe

It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, Football's coming home again.

Tears for heroes dressed in grey
No plans for final day
Stay in bed, drift away
It could have been all
Songs in the street
It was nearly complete
It was nearly so sweet
And now I'm singing

Three lions on a shirt
Jules remains still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Rome
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see Ince ready for war
Gazza good as before
Shearer certain to score
And Psycho screaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules remains still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

We can dance Nobby's dance
We could dance it in France

It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, Football's coming home

Here's my version, called Liverbird

We still believe, we still believe
We still believe, we still believe

It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, Football's coming home again.

Tears for heroes dressed in red
No plans for final day
Stay in bed, drift away
It could have been all
Songs in the street
It was nearly complete
It was nearly so sweet
And now I'm singing

Liverbird on a shirt
Barclays remains still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

Talk about football coming home
And then one night in Athens
We were strong, we had grown
And now I see Gerrard ready for war
Kewell good as before
Torres certain to score
And Carra screaming

Liverbird on a shirt
Barclays remains still gleaming
No more years of hurt
No more need for dreaming

We can dance Crouchie's dance
We could dance it in Anfield

It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, Football's coming home

C'mon Liverpool FC!

Sigh

Sigh It's valentines's day.
Sigh people going out in dates and lovely dovely is in the air
Sigh I'm seeing so many roses again
Sighs I guess I'll treat Valentine's day as a friend' day instead.
Help

I remember last year I gave out three roses to three girls who are my friends, well as an act of friendship that is. So yeash. That's the only time I ever handed out roses to someone. Before that year, I remember I handed out a card to someone I like. But got turned down so yeash, heart-broken. Anyways today is just another day for me. And Today would be buddy day for me instead of valentine's day.

So,

Happy Buddy/Friendship Day Everybody

and

Happy Valentine's Day too to the ones who are in a loving mood and to my friends of course

Lately

I am back from my well sickness, currently I am feeling 80% better. I just need a little more rest to become 100% perfect cell from dragonball z. Kidding. I mean become 100% better.

Lately, since after three days since Saturday til yesterday from the pain of my body, coughing heavily, sniffing, sneezing anda extremely high fever. And also after two sleepless nights due to snoring, medicine and temperature check. I started my japanese lessons just now, though it was an introduction so basically all of it was greeting and stuff.
This will add to the languages I've learned in life, alittle bit of french, alittle bit mandarin, quite alot of tagalog, fluent english and now of course japanese.

I only have a few months to go til I leave to philippines and go psycho. Not literally but education wise. University (or college they do things in a american way...just the language by the way) life is just couple more months now and I can't wait, my fingers need a work out (it's been working out through blogging) and my mind needs a extreme work out too.

All I can say now before I go off and teach the world to sing (it's a song, sang and danced it during my sunshine years and it was in the ICC), Valentine's day is mostly on friendship not dates or love. Well the history of it began with St. Valentine a Maythr, where it was being a togetherness of the maythrs and such, which basically mean friendship of course. The reason why it became such a big major event based on love and such was due to the media, yeash the media, thanks to them valentine is not anymore a maythrs' celebration anymore.
So yea. But what's done is done, we can't really change it since valentine's day is already been celebrated as a lovely dovely day where some are excited and rejoice as they got a date and is in relationship or heartbroken as they were rejected. For me? valentine's day will only be another day for me since well, I don't have anyone in mind or whatever lately. You can call me a heartless if you may but I love my family and friends! I really do!

Anyways I'll go off and listen to some 90s songs that I like!

ja mata ne!

Sick

I am sick, I have a bad cough, a high fever, a cold and a very very weak body.. There'll be no post until I get better.

Thanks

Saturday, February 09, 2008

Going....

I'm going 90s! I know kinda weird right? but it's only a 9 year gap from 2008 from 1999! So how 90s?

The music is one, I'm finding the 90s music quite interesting actually. It's actually the 10 years where pop ruled the world! likewise Micheal Jackson, Lou bega, The people who sang Macarena (I still remember the moves...which is kinda embarassing), many much more! Well, I remember in the 90s I used to be a micheal jackson fanatic....I'm serious, I tried his moves and i thought he was cool until now. Anyways, the music is nice but some of them were well all about love...which quite unstandable since the 90s there was very much peaceful war wasn't a big issue since everyone is minding their own business

90s 90s thats when the cartoons were the best! especially classical anime like Ranma 1/2 and Akazumya Cha-Cha and that Genie guy that appears when you sneeze and yawn and also the movies of animes were all over cartoon network! and yeash Pokemon, who could forget the series that is endless along with digimon. Power Rangers!! Who couldn't forget those weirdo with their robots wearing tights.
OH! yeash Tom and Jerry, Charlie brown and Snoopy! Garfield! Bugs Bunny! Little LuLu [Lu wee, it's tempting to put wee in the end] ! Seasme Street! Mickey and the gang. Now I'm struggling whether I should watch cartoon network's tom and jerry or an interesting documentary.

SPACE JAM!! who remembers space jam! the one where micheal jordan stars in it with bugs and gang!
Disney movies!! Lion King, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, peter pan [not the brunei band, disney should taken action since it's copyright you know], snow white, Tarzan!

Don't we just wish it was the 90s again? hehe I know the technology won't be updated but we'll be having fun with the nice music! and the classic cartoons!

90s we were all young, too pure and too innocent. We were merely little people with a curiousity and wity humor. [yung bote na dapa means the bottle tripped...I know I remember when the wind blew the bottle and i said it tripped]

Sunshine school was nice too, I hope can find old classmates or anyone in sunshine will be great!

ISB, when we were young we were like united until secondary life where we began to move away separate ways.

90s, childhood that are either forgotten or remembered, but we let the photographs and music remind us how the 90s were.

Childhood dreams are inside us all the time, we always dreamed to be like a superhero or becoming a doctor. These dreams can still be reached but however we got to face reality that we in now and moving on to the future.

Fraigile

All are fraigile, I'm a fraigile human, everyone is also fraigile. We break easily like glass, but not easily as we are stronger than that, our bones that is. Feelings however, are sensitive which is fraigile, can be tampered and broken easily.
Hearts are fraigile, people who fall in love too easily are most fraigile where they then break their hearts through rejetctions, love is fraigile best not to fall in love at first sight where you'll broken easily and regretted.
We are sensitive beings, we are fraigile beings that can break any time through our feelings and bone crushing experiences.
Our senses is fraigile, they're sensitive and fraigile. Losing one means of being a disadvantage. Becoming unfeeling, unsmelling, unseeing, unhearing, and untasting is a world that is a nightmare.
We tire easily because we are fraigile.

Fraigile. . . . Things are fraigile. So please handle each other with care.

Fraigile Things.........................it's a book by the way by Neil Gaiman composition of Short Stories.

It Begins

Life begins when something tragic has happened. Where you realize life is short and that sometimes you lose important things or people in your lifetime. Such has a relative whom you haven't seen in a long while dies, or a relative/parent nearly dies through an event or a disease. Or a fire where you'd lose all of your valuable things or losing your most valued things in a certain event. In addition, it begins through hardships throughout many events in your life

Life begins when you start doing I/GCSE, A Levels, O levels, GAC or IB, you're begining to realize how hard it is to earn a satisfactory grade for your lifetime that it'll affect you mentally. Where earning grades is like earning yourself some money in your future career, and doing some charitable work as well to learn that life is hard where ever you work like in charities or where ever. Also, it begins where you make your future career.

Life begins when you start university, where everything will not be like school. Where you'd have to go to university at certain times that are scheduled. Where you then begin working to earn as a part time worker and then you go to university. University life will be either good or bad but it'll depend on you, on what you can do.

Life begins when you begin to work, working hard earning money. Like school, work hard earn grades.

Life actually begins with family, you're born into this world through the womb of your mother. You're a new life born, a gift to the world of increasing numbers. Never forget where you came from and never regret who are your parents are. It'll be a great sin if you regretted and hate your family because that's where you begin your life.

Life also actually begins with friends, you are out in the world you'll meet many people but there are some you'll be able to say they are your friends. Because we are companions on a journey even though we are moving on in different routes, we are still connected through the world called online world of msn, blogging and social networking. But I really mean is the heart, we met, and it's lasting it'll be unforgettable. No matter how far you really are, remember we are connected through our hearts and be sure to check your same old email because you never know who'll go ping you got mail! And maybe someday, we might crossroads and see each other again. You just never know but I'm sure it'll happen.

Life, I say be happy and content with it. You got to enjoy it no matter what. It's filled with heart break, downs, ups and excitement. When people say all we need is love to change the world. I say we are the world, even though we do small things we can make a difference. Also love between us friends and family matters the most.

I love my pictures more than any of those, why? memories, sweet memories of friends I met and been with, great memories of school life and my love for eventful school event like BGIC where it was always fun [viva la costa rica] and MUN which I only attended once and great experience and also doing RIPAS painting where leading a team was the hardest of it all. Also family pictures reminding me that I have to do my best.
I love my family and friends more than anything in the world! They're the most valuable people in my life.

The whole day I was in pain, back ache since waking up. It was painful when cleaning the house and rearranging some stuff and as well shoping and while in church as well.

Waiting

I sit in my room, waiting for my time to leave like a death role but it's less painful. But pain on my left ankle as it get even more painful than before as it approuches the time when I sprained my ankle for the third time. It's loose now, every turn it cracks, every weight on it it hurts like being pierced with a long lengthy needle.

I sit in my room, waiting for my time to leave like a boulder lay among the grassy fields, but constructively reading books refilling information that brain cell will never go to waste. Reading thoroughly through how the soul of the samurai and how the nations today is being westernized through the fastfood industries. Informative I need to be, analyze the people around me. Actions speaks louder.

I sit in my room, waiting for my time to leave like a panda that enjoy it's bamboos day in day out. I love to eat, I love to cook and invent something new through cook by experimenting. Cooking is a joy when it goes well, cooking is a terror when it goes all all wrong throuh mistakes made, the head chef shouts if you did something wrong and yet I still able to figure it out. I'll look at you in a weird way if you're really skinny and saying that you love food.

I sit in my room, waiting for my time to leave like a fish floating among the waves the sea. I walk around the house, do some chores here and there. I want to drive yet being restricted. I play my Xbox 360 to kill time but it's becoming a bore. I listen to music and flow with the rocking tunes. I go online in msn, hoping not get bored yet by just typing this post I am bored.

I sit in my room, waiting for my time to leave.....as I look at the stack of boxes in my room, reminding me to pack things I don't need until leave in two months time.

Two more....just Two more...

Remembering

I talk about the past, the ups downs of past life, the joys sorrows of life, excitement and boredom of life and of course life lesson's learned from many important events.

I know, I keep talking about the past like old man with a pipe in his mouth and speaking...like those various movies where they have an old man with a extremely long beard and talks about the past like stories that you'll just fall asleep.

But think about it, the past is very important to us. It reminds us alot of things in our lives and reasons why we should be happy with our life. Well like, BGIC is one! we had lots of fun even though we were slightly bored and interested with the talks of VVIP. [present and hungry] Another one would be those procasinating times before exams, where we'd just take a extemely long break and pretend to be actually studying. i.e-reading/typing blogs, chatting and online games. And joys being with your friends for those good times.
But the past can sometimes remind us about the downs and out times as well. Like rejection from a ccertain person you asked out or exam results were not as you expected, report card being not you would expect, or unable to get into your first choice university or you can't get in a job because you're not a local or well....leaving I guess, because leaving is like saying good bye to a place where you grew practically throughout your life and also saying good bye to friends who'll be a distance away from you and yet hoping still have some contact with them (i.e emails or MSN or whatever means).

Remembering is a unique skill, like I remember I used to like micheal jackson dance moves and songs. I remember I sang (with my fellow classmates) for the first time infront of an audience in sunshine School (I forgot what song was but it was a nice song though). I remember my first best bud in ISB. I remember my first anime which is not dragonball z, it was akazuya cha-cha. I still remember what I did in IB. I remember my childhood friends (but they're all girls....I met 3 of them already, both in brunei finish school and now waiting to go to uni, while the other one in philippines). I remember when I errr poo poo in school and got sent home early (in ISB year 8...hopefully not many will remember). I remember when I got addicted into wreastling and looked like an idoit doing it and now regretting that I got addicted to and told myself never to watch that wreastling shows. I remember going to Miri as a kid, going to the bat cave and sleeping in a hotel room for the first time and going to a shop with my dad to buy a super nintendo game cartrigde.
But however, we don't remember some things such as did I go to kota batu? Did I really had a fear of flying when I was small wee little boy? Did I like dates (those weird looking dried fruit)?

I know what you might be thinking, why are talking about the past. But the past is (again I'm repeating) important. AND it's important to take photographs to bring back some of that lost memories!

One Question

This post will short.
I got one question to my fellow bloggers and visitors.

Will You Be Keeping The Same Email????

Because I know I'll be keeping same old email even though I have two other email which are gmail and yahoo, feel free to ask.
If you do change your email, please do email them. Why? I don't want to lose contact to anyone yea?

So I'm off, see you later when I blog again! meaning a third blog post again.

Two more months

As the days come closer to leaving date, my heart weeps like never before. I grow weaker and sader feeling like leaving is like death casting his reaper on me.
Lonilness of my heart has worsen, anti-social am I? I agree. But cheering me up is easy, tell me a joke, or look for a good joke in Reader's Digest or in the web to brighten one's day of dim to day of enlightenment. Or even say random stuff if you may that'll still easy and cool.

Depression? I don't think so, depress is not me, depress is my old self during I/GCSE where I was flying high at first and then shot down like a bird in the sky. I admitt us men get depress and use anger to resolve depression but I do the opposite. I'll admit that I do have problems and that my mood swings alot but I still be quiet and still quite happy/content with my life as far it goes.

When I grow old? When I grow old? In my mind, this question echoes like never before. I see my myself in my late 20s working, working with patients and possibly I am not single anymore. Early 20s? study study and still single I suppose, I just want to prove that I can do a challenging course to people (old teachers who shot me down in I/GCSE) that I can do better and even more better than I was. Early 30s? maybe getting married? well of course some get married like around their 30s right? But still I'll be still be working. In my 40s, I can see that I have two kids. I'm just imagining and predicting so you can ignore me on this.

Two more months.....as the days go by, slow or fast. I'll be singing "I'm leaving on a jet plane" (remember in BGIC V? where Angelina, Apple and Panit's school sang infront of us), a touching song for sure because I'll be flying fly fly fly like a butterfly.....I mean bee no flies? whatever bird or eagle they're the same thing.

Time, I want to go back in time during BGIC V and the final days in school and remove the injury I had, the third time spraining the same ankle. Reliving those moments will be as great as it is.
Life, ups and downs like a complicated rollercoaster. Goes round and round like never before. Youll be dragged and shot but you'll be flying high up and soaring like an eagle. Life is just that. You just got to live with it as happy you are and how much fun you can get.

May the chickens fly west while the ducks fly east while the other bird fly either north or south. No matter how far they fly through those direction, they'll be together again no matter what happens.

Look alike?

Here's a picture of Barrack Obama, candidate of for the Presidential Hot seat and Mr Keith Powell, IB Coordinator of ISB.

They look alike right? I mean seriously they look like brothers or even twins. When I frist saw Obama on TV, my first first impression "Is that my Teacher?" in confusion I waited for the newscaster to say his name, so yea. I'm for Obama, I want a change in USA.


Yeas this is Hat-trick post. Third one this day.

Cooking

I love to cook, I really do. It's nice to learn and invent new receipes. It's like letting your imagination on cooking on the go.

Receipes I've invented:

- Seafood-veggie Soba Noodles
- wheatbread and eggs with mustard
- tomatoe egg
- veggie noodle/ramen soup
- Bread Pudding
- Bread pudding with beacon/mushroom
- Baked Mushroom (like baked maccoroni but with mushrooms instread)
- Tuna and egg
- grilled salmon with herbs
- Carbonnara - either plain with mushrooms or with some meat
- Veg tempura [deep fry with flour]

Yeash, I'm still learning!

What is hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia?

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is actually the fear of long words! I've searched and found it it's true! Interesting yea, and it's knida weird that hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is such a long word anyways. Also I sent reader's digest a joke on this, so I am hoping they'd accept that.

anyways I got to watch Hitler: Rise to Power

A new Month

It's a new month, 2 more months before I leave Brunei and say "good-bye Brunei, I'll see you this December or next year around April/May!"
And in two months I might attend summer school in the university I was accepted, just to be ahead of the game or more like a catch-up.
In two months I'll becoming vegan. Good bye meat-goodness, ke shi, vegan is good, a much healthier diet.
Dans deux months I will over spending my money again with books, some books here is abit too much and some books seem to disappear after several weeks. But in Philippines, no matter how old the book is, the book is still there no matter what and I have a membership card meaning discounts I think.
In two or three months, I'll be enrolling for a course that will be mind-blowingly interesting.

One of things I'm hoping for is that my friends would keep their emails (if they did I hope they email or something), why? to keep the flow of communication between us, keep ourselves updated as well like university life and so on.

And leaving would be hard, having being born here that is, and living in brunei for about 18 years will be also hard on me.

I might as well visit school before leaving.

Oh yeash, my dad bought me a second-hand computer (but it was being upgraded in past few days since being bought and adding most of my stuff via external hard-drive). A Dell computer, looks like it's a year old only and it's cool, a built in speakers! And the USB ports, about seven of them which is quite nice. Now I am just hoping the graphics and sound card is up to date since I want to install a PC-game...A football manager game because it's been a while I've played a manager game though so yea.

This month, I'll be hoping for a call from UBD about the Japanese Course because I cannot wait for it to start. But, yea there's a but, if only less than 10 people attend then it'll be cancel which will suck and means that I will at home at most times.
This month and next week will Chinese New Year! The year of Mickey and Minnie mouse and my cool rat Jerry.
This month and next week, it'll be ash wednesday. Meaning the time of eating meat will gone and only fish and bread will be allowed....it's a religion thing so you might be able to understand.
This month and sometime soon this coming weeks will St. Valentine's day, where hearts a flow with joy or hearts in despair through rejections and split-ups. But some will a just-another-day-for-me day, which I am one of them for this year.

It'll be off and see you when I blog later or soon or whatever.
