Wait for You [Elliott Yamin]

2008-07-04T13:26:00.001+08:00

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me
Don’t leave me crying

Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

Ouch! My EYES are BAD!

First of all, I want to apologize for delaying the post on BB Pesta. I'm going to get more pictures from my lieutenant this coming weekend and I shall post it up after that.

I'm in the middle of some relationship problems recently. But whatever it is, I do hope that we can solve thing up proffesionally. All what I want to say after all these things is that... I love you.

The Untold Story...

2008-07-03T00:59:00.004+08:00

Went to have a drink at Starbucks in Kuching International Airport with Nicole just now while waiting for Kenny Sia to pass me something. Nicole was boosting about how good she is in board games and bla bla bla... I was curious about her words so accepted her charllenge on SNAKES AND LADDERS! Well, this games might looks easy, childish, kiddy and whatever you name it, but actually it's not easy for you to FINISH THE GAME!

Click here for the full story!

Well, actually there is an untold part in the story above. After Nicole loses both the games, she actually went NUTS, take up her chair and wanted to beat me up! Luckily I found a knife on the the table and used it to protect myself...

Haha, sorry Nicole for telling the TRUTH... Anyway, still thank you for accompany me tonight!

Famous BB Members - Robert Baden-Powell

2008-06-28T06:03:00.006+08:00

Dear friends from the Scout (Pengakap), just wondering did you ever notice that Scouts movement was actually started from the Boys' Brigade? Instead, founder of Scouts movement, Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, was a BB Officer back in 1900. Scouting Movemnent was first used in the BB for the Boys' Brigade Scout Section when Robert Baden-Powell served as the Brigade Secretary, and later the Vice-President of the Boys' Brigade.

Take a look at the pictures below. Are they Scouts or BB?

Trust me, they are BB members from Enfield companies. in the 1900s.

During my secondary school time, the Scouts and the BB were in constant argument on the fact that who was the first youth's uniform body. And somehow all this leads to conflicts between these two parties. When I look back now, I really think that we are really CHILDISH! Who cares who was the first, what is more important is WHAT IS OUR AIM! Both Scouts and BB movement are to HELP THE YOUTH TO GROW IN POSITIVE MANNER!

For your infomation Robert Baden-Powell (Founder of Scouts movement) and Sir William Alexander Smith (Founder of the Boys' Brigade) was actually FRIEND, and the Scouting Movement was to grow up in friendly parallel relations with the Boys' Brigade!

So please, my dear brothers and sisters from both the Scouts and BB, NO MORE ARGUMENT! We are all FRIENDS!!!

Thank You... huh!

BB 18th Pesta - Day Two

2008-06-27T19:49:00.008+08:00

The schedule for the second day were kind of tight, for us from Sarawak, our breakfast time is from 6:30am to 7:00am, which means we have to wake up by 5:30am to wash up and stuff. After breakfast, we proceed to Dewan Kuliah Perdana for the morning devotion. We were transfered by shuttle bus which look like this:

Yes, nothing wrong with your eyes. Its written there BUS BERHENTI-HENTI... move... stop... move... stop... move... stop...

It took quite awhile because ~~the bus keep move and stop, move and stop...~~ somehow the NCO incharge told the bus driver Dewan Perdana (which is somewhere outside UMS) instead of Dewan Kuliah Perdana.

Below are some of the picture taken during the morning devotion.

After the morning devotion, we then heading towards KDCA hall for the Sabah Pesta Kaamatan.

I don't really enjoy the Pesta Kaamatan, not because it was not good, but because of time constrain...

Up next, the opening ceremony. IT'S A FAILURE!!! Reason? not going to say it now...

At the night time, we have our practice for the bamboo dance.

That's all for now...

Anything & Whatever

2008-06-25T03:14:00.004+08:00

Do you ever come across a situation where you are too hard to decide to decide or too lazy to think when someone ask you what do you want? And you ended up answer them "anything" or "whatever"?

Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present you...

and

“Anything” is carbonated and is made in six flavours: Cola, Cola with Lemon, Apple, Fizz Up, Cloudy Lemon and Root Beer while “Whatever” is non-carbonated and is made in six flavours as iced tea: Ice Lemon Tea, Peach Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, White Grape Tea, Apple Tea and Chrysanthemum Tea.

Other than the cool names given to them, it is also so unique that you will not know what flavour the beverages are from the packaging, since all of it are the same, and without any label on what flavour it is. Meaning that you will only know the flavour when you drink it!

Currently, they are available in Jusco and 7-Eleven all across Peninsular Malaysia. How I wish we will have it here in Kuching...

BB 18th Pesta - Day One

2008-06-25T00:46:00.018+08:00

After a "good night sleep", we all wake up very early on the 30th May 2008. After wash up, we proceed to the cafeteria for the breakfast. We are served with fried rice and egg.

After got ourself officially registered for the Pesta, we proceed with our (self-organized) KK town trip. We waited for bus awhile at the bus stop, then one of the Sabahan officer told us that 30th of May is a public holiday for Sabah and NO BUS ARE OPERATING inside UMS! We were like @$%^%^$$... and no choice, we have to walk from Kampung E (where we stay) to the bus stop outside UMS.

As I said in the previous post, UMS wasn't a good place for you to travel by legs because there are alot of hills. So basically we are going up and down hills repeatedly. But on the bright side, we got the chance to see most of the building in the UMS.

After walking for about half an hour, we finally got ourself to the bus stop opposite UMS to wait for public bus. Basically, that bus stop is just a stopping point for the bus WITH NO SHADES AT ALL! Huh...so we have to wait like for about 15 minutes for bus to come under the hot sun. When the bus finally came, we got ourself into the small bus and it was so pack that we have to stand in the middle of people like sardin. The Boys were at the back while Lt. Adrian and me were in the front part of the bus. Lt. Adrian and me have prepared our money in our hand and was waiting for people to come and collect from us. But the weird thing is until we reach our destination, there was no one came and collect from us at all! I was thinking that, WOW, Sabah actually provides FREE SHUTTLE BUS for their citizen! But later our Boys told us that they actually paid for the ride. Maybe the bus is too full that the bus the guy can't even move to the front. So lucky us, free ride!

Lt. Adrian ever stayed in KK for about 2 months for his job, so basically he was our own tour guide for the day. He first brought us to a shopping centre, forgot what's the name but it is a place full of handphone shop. The air-conditioning in that whole place actually not functioning at its so hot inside!

After an hour, Lt. Adrian brought us to the other shopping centre which is just a street away. And the first thing I saw when I walked into the shopping centre was...

Ok, I'm not suppose to show that!

After done with the shopping centres, we moved on to the sea side for...

YEAH, for CHIVAS!!!

At...

THE COCK AND BULL BISTRO... ~~why don't they change it to COCK & PUSSY BISTRO?~~

Then we proceed to...

YEAH RIGHT... as if those place are open in the day time... our Boys are actually very innocent, they only have alcohol in chuch, during the communion, and they only sing in church, not karaoke. Can't believe? Well, look at the photo below, the corporal was so innocent that he don't even know what is Chivas... ~~he only drink black label.~~

Ok, lets get back to the track. Basically the whole street beside the sea were full of bistro, karaoke, pub, lounge... which only operates at night time. So when the sun is still up in the skies, those place are just so dead.

About 4:00 pm, we move to another shopping centre and wait for our transpot together with members from 4th Kuching Company.

About 4.45, our transport finally came...

Ok, we went back by bus...

The Boys' Brigade in Malaysia 18th Pesta - Kota Kinabalu

2008-06-24T23:58:00.004+08:00

The Boys' Brigade in Malaysia was held on 30 May - 4 June 2008, at University Malaysia Sabah (UMS). 2 Officers and 8 Boys from 3rd Kuching flew off to Kota Kinabalu (KK) on the 29th of May to participate in this Pesta. The 8 Boys were Cpl. Thomas, L/Cpl. Ianlevi, Pte. Morven, Pte. Barry, Pte. Keith, Pte. Claudius, Pte. Hansel and Pte. Paul and accompanied by Lt. Adrian and Me!

Our Boys doing the Chivas Regal advertisement

I actually took alot of videos and pictures during the Pesta, but sadly, my 4Gb SDHC card give me some problem and caused me to lost all those picture and vidoes taken using my Sanyo Xacti. Anyway, I'll just go on with those photos I have now.

We arrived UMS about 5pm on the 29th of May, which is one day before the actual thing started. We faced some problem with the accomodation but with the help of Capt. Foo, everything was settled before the night. We had our dinner at the cafeteria after shower and the Boys proceeded to the cyber cafe. Lt. Adrian, Cpl. Thomas, 2 officers from 4th Kuching and myself than get ourself familiar with the place by walking around to explore UMS.

Exploring UMS

Well, a little comment on UMS - it's a nice university, but not really good if you travel by legs cause too many hills around. The hostel stink... as usual for most of the university and I STILL LOVE UNIMAS BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST HOSTEL, or at least better than UMS.

Lazy...

2008-06-23T02:38:00.001+08:00

I'm suppose to post up on my trip to KL and also the floating tower competition. But I AM SO DARN LAZY RIGHT NOW!!! What happen to me...duh!

Short Update

2008-06-15T02:17:00.004+08:00

Oh yeah, I did explore the Kajang town today! And I actually walked back from the town centre to my uncle's apartment, which take me roughly 1 hour. Uncle brought me to Putra Jaya and Bangi at the night after done with shopping at Carrefour. Putra Jaya ROCKS! I loves the idea and design of those buildings, government buildings! But there was a question came to my mind... All the lighting that on at night time, who will be paying for it? Again, mixed feeling...

Good Morning

2008-06-14T11:14:00.004+08:00

Good MORNING world!!! Feel real good this morning, right after I woke up, I've been served with bread and milo right infront of me! Thanks a lot aunt! Later going to explore this Kajang area, after lunch...

WHAT???

2008-06-14T00:23:00.005+08:00

Just found out from my sister's blog that she just brought back a puppy...a PUPPY!!! Mixed feeling...huh!

Short Update

2008-06-14T00:06:00.003+08:00

I'm currently in Kajang, staying in my uncle's (my dad's youngest brother) house. Had some Kajang satay just now, taste not bad, the sauce are much sweeter compared to those in Kuching. Actually I came here for the Floating Tower Competition and we got number 6 (out fo 30+ teams), satisfied with the result!

Petrol price raise by 40%!!!

2008-06-07T00:46:00.007+08:00

I've been out from home to KK for BB Pesta for the past one week, shall post on that later. Anyway. I was real shocked when I read the news paper on the new petrol price! Come on, its RM2.70 per litre now, how am I going to survive? I usually need at least RM50 - RM100 per week, which means with the 40% increment on the petrol, it will cost me RM70 - RM140 per week! I'm totally speechless now... uh!

Voice of Truth [Casting Crown]

2008-05-29T01:35:00.003+08:00

Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name
and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh, what I would do
to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound
of a thousand warriors
shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out
my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
time and time again
"Boy you'll never win,
you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

but the stone was just the right size
to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so high
from on top of them looking down
i will soar with the wings of eagles
when i stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says do not be afraid
And the voice of truth says this is for my glory
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are

BMW Z4 3.0si Roadster spoted in UNIMAS!

2008-05-29T00:12:00.004+08:00

I was driving up to UNIMAS in the afternoon to get some stuff done in BHEP. Guess what! There was a black + slick + cool + wow + waliu + ... BMW Z4 parked right infront of the BHEP (with a cute red viva behind it) !!!

Well, if you see clearly, the spot where it was parked is marked with "BUS ONLY" which means if any other car park there, the security guard will LOCK THE TYRES! But I saw guards passing by with their ~~stupid~~ super cool motobike and they just turned their head, look at the BMW and continue their way on... (those guards are just so good and responsible!)

I did some research on that ride and found out that this piece of metal actually cost RM 468,000.00! If you are interested to know more about this car, please click HERE.

Try see clearly the above picture, the guy not far from the car, in blue shirt, is the guard! LOCK THE TYRES!!!

Love vs. Responsibility

2008-05-26T03:33:00.005+08:00

Love comes with responsibility. Love takes time and effort. When someone loves you and counts on you, you have to be there to do your part. Sometimes this means putting their needs ahead of your own.

Till Death DO US Part ... or ... Till Death US DO Part?

2008-05-24T23:06:00.004+08:00

I woke up around 7:30am this morning because I'm in the Praise & Worship team for Rev. Bradley's niece marriage blessing. Ronald is worship leading while Franklin on the drum, Doreen playing the piano, Tommy on the guitar and I played the bass. The wedding started around 10am and guess what, their wedding car was decorated with the shining LIME colour! We were all like *speechless*... (too bad I did not take any photo of the car)

I believe most of us are familiar with the quote "till death do us part", which is used in most of the Christian weddings. But today for the second time, I heard Rev. Bradley said "till death us do part" (in our church the priest actually said it line by line while the bride / bridegroom will repeat after him). When the first time I heard that, I thought that maybe he read wrongly but today the same thing happen again and this somehow make me really wonder which one is the correct one and when the arrangement of the words are changed, does it still bring the same meaning? I checked up on the Book of Common Prayer and this has proven that Rev. Bradley did not read it wrongly! But still, I'm confused! Are both of the phrases workable and bring the same meaning? Someone answer me, please! Anyway, CONGRATULATION to Mr. Robinson and the wife (Rev. Bradley's niece, I forgot her name).

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy name;

Thy kingdom come;

on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the Kingdom,

the Power and the Glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen.
