eloz ppl! hehez...didnt write blog for yesterday..so shall make up today wif 2 topics.
and so, yesterday passed...nothing much done yesterday...can sense my hols starting to slow down momentum..lolx! nov and 1st 3 weeks of Dec play too much liaoz..now is the time to recover..lolx!
bro and his gf cooked dinner last nite..hehez! FINALLY, after 1 yr, my bro has cooked something for me..he cooked veg..not bad...but still some dist away from mum's cooking. anywayz better than a useless cook here(REMEMBER! fried rice must add water!!...lolx!)
abt the earthquake...sigh so sad...got an INdonesian fren (julianna) who lives in indonesia now..said tt she experienced the trembles and conveyed to me tt the tremble was the strongest she ever experienced. surprisingly, after she ran out of her house upon the earthquake..she went back to sleep...HOW THE HELL DO U MANAGE TO STILL GO TO BED??? lolx! then i got a fren living in sri lanka (asiri)...have not heard from her since the earthquake. she has not been online since the earthquake. i hope she and her family are fine...praying hard for her.
okz..enuff of this sad tragedy...lets talk abt geniuses. many ppl say i m a genius..lolx! not boasting horz...they all say the same thing "jason so smart, intelligent, so good so blah blah blah" . but seriously, i dun regard myself as a genius, neither do i see myself as brilliant.. why do i say so? cause i've seen real geniuses and brilliant ppl in my life. simple as tt. seeing how they do in school, there's no way i can be compared to them. who are these ppl? these are ppl who seldom study for exams..but score terrific results ALL THE TIME. these are ppl who can cope wif studies and sports and other activities very well. if u think my time management is good, i've seen better.
therefore, compared to them, i m just quite a mediocre person, nothing good to be proud of. but, as usual, i try very hard not to compare myself to others, cause as the old saying goes, the only challenger every person has is himself and herself. challenge urself to the full limit. in my opinion, i have not reached the ultimate limit yet. still feel tt i m only stretched to slightly more than 1/2 of wat i m really capable of. dun ask me how i m gonna reach my limit...coz seriously, i dunno. perhaps i need to come across some difficulty to push myself, brave the storm and walk out a stronger person.
back to the topic of geniuses, i have never regarded myself as a genius. but, Gai Sensei in the anime Naruto said something which i never thought of: "you are a genius of hard work". when someone says genius, eevryone would think of a natural born talent, it's inside, it's a God's gift. it's all innate. but being a genius of hard work is OUR CHOICE! it does not have to be innate.
we all can choose to be diligent in wateva we do. the reason y i alawys work so hard is becoz of my char. i always tell myself tt wateva i do, i must do my best. if not, i will be sorry to myself. the keyword is..myself..not to others. wateva i do, i answer to myself, not to others. because, if u cant even answer to urself, how can u answer to others? get my point? all these can be summed up in one word...responsibility. it's much more one can ever imagine. it's not tt simple as accomplishnig a task for someone or urself. it's an ongoing role tt we all have to play in the evryday of our lives.
so ppl, let's all be geniuses of hard work. here's the chance to be a genius in a unique way. grab it! the results are rewarding.

most ppl would know by now tt an earthquake measured 8.9 on the ritcher scale hit Sumatra of INdonesia today. more than 5600 people from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand, India and MALAYSIA have died from this devasting earthquake since last witnessed in 1965. most died from the immediate floods caused by tidal waves as high as 5 metres. in the case of Malaysia, 45 ppl died in a Penang resort. they were playing some water sports when the unprecendented tidal waves hit them...
Providence really has great power to take lives in an instant. wat does one think when death awaits at the door? i dunno. wat does one feel when his life is taken at an instant? i dunno. wat is the feeling of seeing a huge wave coming, crashing at u relentlessly, refusing to ease its grip off u once u r trapped in this spiral of water? i dunno. all i know is that...it must have been a painful one. it is really great to be alive..as echoed by me fren yunxuan. think she is really pro-life.
it was reported tt some tremors were felt in Kuala Lumpur. I think my house was also hit by the tremors.
at 9:07am today when i was sleeping, i was awakened by the wind chime hung in my living room. my first thought was that how could the wind chime be making noise when there is no wind? all the windows and doors were shut. i;ve been staying in this house for abt 4.5 months and this is the 1st time that the wind chime was making noise on its own in the morning. I got out of my room and silenced the wind chime. as i got back to my room...the wind chime started to move and make noise again. i felt spooky..i tot tt it was something 'unclean' in my house doing some unwanted work.
i only realised tt the only logical explanation for the wind chime making noise is the earthquake tremors when i found out tt the time of the earthquake coincidented with the time at which the wind chime began ringing. (btw, the windchime is attached to a hook drilled into the ceiling of my living room...so if the building trembles, so does the walls and ceilings, passing on vibrations to the wind chime...this is my physics explanation...lolx)
anywayz, i hope tt all of u will treasure the ppl ard u as u never know whether u will be able to see them and conversely, whether they would be able to see u, tomorrow. so, I LOVE ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE! THANK YOU FOR ENTERING INTO MY LIFE AND MAKING IT BLOSSOM!!!!

FUMOFU!!

greetings to all! hope all of u r enjoying this very wonderful festive holiday! me as usual, doing nothing much on xmas day itself..lolx!
well, had a small xmas dinner last nite wif my bro and 2 of his frens (there were supposed to be 2 more ppl...both names starting with J...but they never came...sighz). a very simple yet delicious meal..yumz yumz! spent the rest of the nite playing cards ( i only won 1 round out of so many rounds...how pathetic can i get?...sighz..) and watching tv. sad to say, there were no good shows on tv last nite! even on astro! perhaps i subscribed to the wrong channels..sighz...
anywayz..when clock struck 12am, on request, i started singing some carols...lolx! just to have some 'xmas spirit'. quoting frm my bro "the whole place so quiet"...meaning, there were no fireworks, there was no noise...just silence..
anywayz..the 4 of us began exchanging presents..i got a cutie cute piggy soft toy! yea! my 2nd soft toy of this yr..lolx! oh man, i m really starting to love soft toys!

did nothing much on xmas day itself...just watching tv and more tv shows..waiting for clock to strike 7pm..coz all my fav shows will start showing..yea manz!
wonder how my parents spent xmas today...my mum called me last nite to say tt they were gonna have xmas lunch at a hotel today..wonder how was the lunch..was it expensive?? hohoho! but anywayz...think my dad will love it..coz common', how often does my mum let my dad eat so much??? lolx! oops! =x

one of my fav things to do on xmas day itself is to watch xmas shows on tv (which i have been doing today). i dunno y but i just like the feeling of it. perhaps it's the snow, santa, xmas trees, the beautifully decorated neighbourhoods tt spark my imagination tt i was inside the show, experiencing and enjoying the very feeling of xmas. perhaps becoz i never had the chacne to experience the type of xmas shown in the movies. writing xmas cards, exchanging presents, seeing santa claus, a grand xmas dinner...sadly..all these only exist in my nicest dreams...but still, i beleive tt one day...just one day i m gonna have a splendid xmas!

so wat did u guys do for xmas? must share joy watz..lolx! anywayz, if it does not trouble u, just write in the comments section..will be much appreciated.
to sign off, merry xmas and i love all of u ppl out there!
hohohoho!

the reason y the title is freestyle coz i intend to write 2 separate things today and therefore a title would not be apporiate. why? coz teachers have been teaching us tt the essay must be with regards to the title...so freestyle is anything goes...not the swimming stroke...

okz...i m finally recovered from my food poisoning. m alive kicking again...and kicking hard! just that i still have to be careful of my diet and not eat something unhealthy..for the time being..lolx!
having a small xmas party at my house tml (or maybe on sat...dunno yet..lolx!). wateva the case, i m gonna eat till my stomach's content! this is to make up for wat i couldnt eat for the past 2 days....had to eat porridge cooked by my bro last nite for dinner...since it was his 1st time cooking porridge..i cant say much...anywayz, thanx bro! though it tasted a bit blend...it's the heart tt counts!
didnt do much today..except went bowling wif my bro and his fren..didnt bowl too well (expected...-_-) since i just recovered and my leg was hurting for some reason (maybe due to my sleeping position).
after bowling went to buy a xmas present for the party tml or sat..coz there will be a present exchaning session...gosh...when was the last time i had sort of a thing? pri school i think.. anywayz..should be quite coolz.
okz...enuff of wat i did today..time to talk abt something nicey nice..
was reading a fren's blog yesterday...i've known this fren for 3 years now..were A level classmates back in singapore...as some general backgrd, she is a diligent and independent girl, and has her own opinions. one of her traits is that she likes to decipher people. in other words, she likes to judge ppl on certain occasions and situations, then form a general impression. think many of us have done this b4?
one day, as usual, she was chattig wif her fren and giving some feedbacks or something like tt (aint really clear how it went), and suddenly her fren sent her a msg tt read
“dun always act as if u noe others very well…”
“cos u dun….”

My fren was hurt upon seeing these 2 sentences. she began askign herself whether wat she had done all along was rite? she began to doubt herself...started having some impressions tt ppl were scolding her behind her back for trying to act smart.
for me, there's nothing i can say abt wat to do..except to stand firm in ur beliefs and accomodate when u have to. have gotta be flexible..say things when it is the rite time.

but from this episode, let us all reflect on times when we were judging ppl's characters. in the past, i loved to judge ppl's charc too...i still do now, except tt i do it more passively now. i see, i observe, i form an image and a perception is formed. tt's all. i dun make any comments abt the person in front of him. even if i think there is some sort of improvements tt he has to make, i try to make it sound indirect. it's simple, no one likes to hear his faults. even i dun like ppl coming up to me and say "jason, i hate u"
i firmly believe tt though we have the right to judge ppl's char, we dun have the right to tell ppl tt their char is as such and therefore should change. coz, who are we to judge ppl? it gives a sense of class division..like hey, i m a better person than u. if i think u r bad, u r bad. remember, in other ppl's eyes, we may be bad too. therefore, i always opt for keeping comments to myself. it's only when a person asks how i think abt him/her then i tell him my feelings. but of coz, i say it in a frenly manner. communication has to be constructive, not destructive.
a similar situation is when we are giving advice to frens. give suggestions, not tell him wat he/she should do. we can never fully comprehend wat the troubled fren is experiencing and therefore, telling him wat to do when he cant do it is very irritating for the victim himself. i usually just listen...tt's all. perhaps just tell him to believe in his own faith and dun despair. suggestions will be given but remember, the ultimate decision lies with the person himself.
tt's all for today folks...enjoy a nice day

FUMOFU!!!

as u all know, i just started my own blog. was chatting wif a fren online this afternoon. she asked me this qn " so wat is ur aim of having a blog?" when i 1st saw this qn, i was thinking "oh my, wat a serious qn. isit some sort of character deciphering qn (coz this fren of mine likes to 'analyse' ppl)"
my response is tt i had no specific aim. well, the most basic one ish of coz to let my frens know my daily happenings and at the same time, keep it as a sort of a diary since i never had the habit of writing one, an online one such as this is a good start.
being a melancholic person at times, i can come up wif weird thoughts and i tot it would be good to put in some reflections sometimes. there were many times i had a lot of thoughts but could not write it down or share it..coz who the hell would have the patience to listen to my weird thoughts? eg. no one has discussed wif me whether one would enter into another universe after his death. so if i write such reflections down, at least i can express my own feelings w/o having to consider anyone's thoughts (such as, omg, jason is mad!). but of coz, such thoughts form the minority..lessons of life form the majority (hopefully...lolx)
anywayz, back to my fren's qn, i told her tt my inner, underlying purpose of the blog ish for myself. 10 years down the road, i would want to read wat i wrote and experience tt feeling of bewilderness or ignorance. as we all know, we all grow, physically, mentally and spiritually. so i think it would be heart warming to see myself grow frm an ignorant person to an intellect, matured person.
so to all my frens who read this blog, u will most probably see another side of me tt u dun see often and i hope (yesh, the keyword is HOPE...coz i dunno how long it will last...lolx!) tt we all can grow together!
FUMOFU!!!!!!!!!
