teapots version 2.0
there lived a Man (still lives) who owned a huge collection of teapots.. all of difference sizes and colours..
one day.. one of the teapot wandered near the edge of the table and fell off from it.. *CRASH!* it smashed into pieces.. *sobs sobs* it cried.. the Owner felt the pain, and He decided to mend the teapot back into one piece with His 'all purpose superglue'..
time passed.. another teapot decided to persuade once-broken-but-mended-teapot '
let's rock ourselves off the edge of the table!' and once-broken-but- mended-teapot knowing tat it would smash into pieces again replied '
hmm.. ok..' *CRASH! x2*
moral of the story:
it's the teacups tat gets upset.. because there'd be no teapots to fill them up with tea..

matbay..
after a long while.. i was back there again.. tat very same spot - tat shaded spot under a rugged looking tree between 2 rubbish bins.. with a sand patch on the right side which looked like a mini-beach.. my imaginary beach..
it's been a long while since i had my lunch there.. i remember tat it was one of my favourite lunch spot during 2nd year of uni.. a place where i can spend some time alone with my fellow seagulls.. well, not tat i dun enjoy ppl's company =) in fact i enjoy it heaps.. but i do prefer some solitude once in a while..
i took a photo of the place.. and it looked just like tat very shot i took 2 years ago.. ahh~ wish there really was neverland.. a place where u'd never need to grow old..

lab demo..
forgot to mention bout my lab demo for PTC.. thou the lab's really a waste of time (at least I, jason and idris thinks so).. but the lab demo's a classic..
he's quite comical.. and he's forever anxious.. his 'no no no noooo..' and waving of hands frantically.. keeps u entertained while being slaughtered by the annoying lab session..
then there's this thing bout him, whenever we ask him questions or whenever he comes around to our group.. he'll rest his hand on my shoulder.. well, mainly coz i was sitting nearest to the aisle.. i was like 'okay' when his hand landed the first time.. then came the second time.. third.. fourth.... .. .. and i was like 'oookaaayyy..' so i bended my body forward to stare at the screen.. and he bent forward too!! idris gave me a 'i-dunno-how-to-save-u-jon' look.. haha i think it's just him, dun think he'd realise it.. but yea, he's just comical..

dangers..
stop putting urself in situations of getting urself killed before you even finish ur bachelor degree jon..
"it's how well you did how hard you tried.."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
back to basics..
i never did like figures.. whether it's from number of ticket sales to personal accounts records.. i would avoid it as much as i could.. going into engineering, i thought i could run away from it.. but reality is, life's full of figures.. i can never run away from it.. just had a test on 'discounted cash flow' for my management unit.. i had absolutely no idea how to work it out.. to some ppl, these are like basics of the basics hey.. but to me, it was like one of the 'cheem-est' stuffz i could ever come across (somehow the FYP algorithms doesn't sound as hard hehe).. but yea, i did very bad for the test.. nvm, try harder next time.. and this guy sitting next to me kept saying 'oh fxxx..' like throughout the whole 40++ mins..
the next time i ever start to complain about somebody, be it in church/uni/anywhere.. i'd like to learn to appreciate even more, tat no matter how imperfect i could be.. God
chose to love and serve me in ways beyond wat i deserve.. i'd like to learn to appreciate His Grace even more.. i'd like to be more cheerful rather than being so grumpy as ever..
my supervisor's a friend.. not a foe.. there is no reason tat i should be afraid of him.. there is no reason for me to refrain myself from asking him questions.. not knowing or understanding certain things doesn't certify me as being stupid.. not knowing and not asking would.. let the engines continue to roar..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
hello?
today halfway thru PTC lecture, my phone rang.. or should i say vibrated.. i took a look at the number, and it was a landline.. my heart leaped for a sec, and i thought to myself 'company?'.. so i left my sit, and headed to the backdoor and picked up the call..
me: hello?caller: hello? jon ah..¬_¬"
it was derell.. calling from his office.. well, it was a call from a company.. just not for vac work purpose =P
all the excitement for nothing, but it's alrite.. thou i dun really like the process of waiting, together with the anxiety and worries.. i better learn to enjoy this moment..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
loving what I do..
i need to learn to love the things i'm doin'.. if not i'll run dry.. i need to love my project and not sigh everytime when i talk about it.. i need to love my ministry and not fret and worry about the insufficient number of members.. i need to love studying, if not i'll miss uni days when working days start.. i need to love those who keep annoying me.. i can't stand being so grumpy always.. but one thing i have no problem loving, is food definitely =P
today, i fell hard.. scratched my board too.. now my bum's aching.. and my shin's bruising.. but now, i gotta continue to get my brain cracking.. comon' project.. bring it on yo..
keep me sane God..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
feeling the wind..
today i finally.. i finally tried out my new board.. it felt good, feeling the wind again after so long.. the board feels good.. good control, flexible.. thou not much speed, but it's good hehe.. speed kills.. i can definitely do with less danger in life.. had a 'good' time clean the board, esp the wheels after tat.. good thing tat the words were written with permanent markers..
i hope it rains tml thou.. like seriously heavy rain.. so tat i can just stay home and not even step out of the house..
oh i forgot to mention.. while rushing for time this afternoon.. i tot i'd just make tuna sandwich from home.. only realize tat the bread was mouldy after gobbling half the sandwich.. ugh..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
wat's ur problem..
i dun get it.. i dun understand how some ppl can sorta forget or plainly ignore the fact tat they're in the position of asking a favour.. "gah, u know wat.. can u go plan out ur schedule and call me back to inform me when u're free? bye.. *hangs up*" wat on earth!! first off, u dun stay anywhere nearby.. and secondly, buses aren't frequent on sundays.. and thirdly, dun expect me to be free just because u are >=|
anyway, i need to kick off some bad habits..
- shaking my leg while sitting..
- not concentrating while cycling..
- giving excuses..
- procrastinating my work..
- rubbing my eyes too much..
- eating too much instant noodles for lunch..
etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
comon' jon.. where's ur determination?? u can do better than this..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
hahahaha.. was reading jokes while eating my breakfast.. feels good to start off a day with a few laughs.. but now, let's bring the work on man..
focus pocus.. *
poo
offfff*
-------------------------------------------------------------------
my comp.. almost died on me......... last nite it just suddenly shutted down by itself.. or more like a blank screen just suddenly showed up.. i kept pressing the restart, on/off button.. nothing came on.. i was like, 'noooo.. not at this time!!!' after trying a few more times.. i gave up and went to sleep it off..
woke up this morning.. gave a few more tries.. nope, no signs of revival.. gave up, started making calls to see who might be able to help me out.. so in the midst of searching for help, i continued pressing watever buttons tat i can reach.. and behold, my comp started.. great! wat's wrong with it? no idea at all.. but backup of my files are needed now..
another round of moving and shifting with aldren late in the afternoon.. the new place's really nice and bright.. highlight of the shifting process? driving across millpoint road with a queen size mattress on top of the car with every pair of eyes turning towards our direction..
male ego.. sensitive issue.. i might even get shot here.. but i gotta say tat the male ego is a dangerous thing.. it'll get us killed someday.. it really will..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
strange bonds..
i know his name.. he knows mine.. we greet we talk when we meet.. we laugh we encourage.. we help each other in different occasions, different settings, different places..
thou he's not from zion.. thou we dun really know each other's life story.. thou we dun even see each other often.. there's this bond tat's indescribable.. surprisingly, we have a passion for the same thing.. and we're both involved in similar ministries.. somehow, we could emphatize with each other or understand each other's situation.. and to be able to give encouragements.. i'm just glad and thankful for such a person which i could call as a friend..
sam just had another haircut and his nails clipped =) by a soon to be officially certified vet.. man, he's spoilt man.. i dun even have a personal doctor and he has a personal vet.. and we found out the reason why he hasn't been running around as much as compared to before.. turned out tat his feet are sore.. could be due to the nails.. now tat his nails are clipped, hope the swelling would be gone.. but still need to get some antiseptic cream for his feet.. and i was told tat he's not fat hehe.. not skinny not fat, just nice hehe..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
if u ever wonder why i do certain things or behave in certain ways or make certain decisions.. y don't u
ask me?! and stop assuming or judge me and laugh it off as if it's something funny.. coz it really isn't funny.. i do bear in mind tat ppl react in such way tat they might not understand the situation.. but it's really annoying the crap out of me! sheesh..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cheese cakes
a fren of mine forwarded an email to me this morning with 'cheese cake' on the subject.. in my mind i was wondering so is it another one of those annoying jokes or chain mail or watsoever.. but curious as i am, i read the mail =P surprisingly, it really was pictures of cheese cakes!! man.. look at tat.. would like to lay my hands on either the 'marble banana cheese cake' or 'black forest cheese cake'.. the rest seems slurpliciously good too.. cept for the 'pumpkin pudding cake' which sounded a lil' hmm...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[insert motivation here]
some ppl like to think while strolling along matbay.. some ppl like to think while sitting at a quiet corner in the house.. some ppl like to think while driving.. some ppl like to think while being under their blanket.. i realize, i think a lot while showering.. my shower cubicle is just like the phone booth where clark kent changes to superman.. it's a place where i organize my thoughts.. it's a place where i come up with ideas for my presentations.. it's a place where i get revelations.. a place where i try to remember certain formulas for exams.. a place for prayer.. a place of worship.. a place where i get most of my inspirations.. well, not to forget a place to shower of course =P due to the cold weather, some ppl avoid having a daily shower if possible.. where as i could shower up to 3-4 times a day average (max was 5 once hehe).. so if u wonder why is it so tat i take quite a while in the shower at times.. - i'm thinking =) or just plainly enjoying the hot water on a cold winter's day..
i realized too, tat i'm capable.. just as long as i get myself organized and focused.. went to coop this morning to get some folders to keep my uni stuffz organized.. need to be organized!! keep me motivated plz ppl =)
and yay! i won't be the only musician in the cell anymore..
-------------------------------------------------------------------
voluntary job vacancy..
hm.. i dunno whether he's less adventurous as compared to before? or is he lazy? or has he grown timid? or maybe he was sleepy? or maybe his hair's weighing too much on him? or maybe he's grown too fat?? sam didn't even move an inch when i let him out today.. hmm..
anyway.. he needs a haircut again.. volunteers? =)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
i locked myself out of my house again.. wat's worse? the reason i went out of the house was to do my laundry at laundrobar.. so.. i was locked out with my laundry.. ¬_¬" man, sometimes i just feel so stupid.. but nonetheless, today's still a great day.. managed to get quite a fair bit of work done.. sent out 2 applications for vac work.. finished tute 1 for ET.. did a bit of cutting and tracing for decor..
anyway, i realize i'm really really blessed.. remembered there was this time where i sprained my ankle real bad.. and went to this physiotherapist on hampden road.. and the physio actually requested me to go back daily for check up.. and each session was supposed to be $48
T_T but she only charged me for one session and told me tat she'd just wanna make sure my ankle's gonna be alrite and charged me nothing for the following 3 or 4 sessions..
2 weeks ago, i was just chatting with someone.. saying i wanna save up to buy an mp3 player.. be it an ipod or watever.. just last saturday, i received a belated birthday gift.. and guess wat, it was an mp3 player! now i'm able to bring music to wherever i go =)
always blessed with ppl driving me around to places.. to have ppl cracking me up with jokes.. and to have ppl putting up with my nonsense and excuses.. just blessed..
