2 of which

I was having this debate with my friend. Neither of us won the argument. So I am leaving his for further discussion.

Would you consider this week as having 2 Fridays or 2 Mondays

PS. I am casually dress today for work!

Post F1

Strangely, after the F1 race I am hearing lots and lots of cars reving up their engines along the road next to my place.









Perhaps they too wanted to experience the blasting loud noise those engine makes.
Perhaps they are inspired by the sensation.
Perhaps they are just happy the road closure has finally ended.

Who knows

Experience Wii

You guys ought to see this youtube clip on Wii

A Past Memory

We have all been down this road. We meet someone, we became close and then we are no longer talking.

This post is dedicated to a former pal of mine. A person whom I am so close with that I had even considered him to be my younger brother. But alas our choices in life have brought us apart.

M as I should address him by for privacy sake, was a close friend of mine whom I known since my sec sch days. He was a unique individual and funny in all sort of ways. Everyone gotten along with him pretty well and he was always entertaining to have around.

He and I shared many similar ideals. We enjoy scouting and the adventures that it brought us. In fact, after the times we pursue our scouting passion strongly and became volunteer leaders for the boys. Coming back weekly to the meeting and helping to organise camps and events. The work was never done and like a long difficult trekking path, we enjoyed bashing through this journey.

However back in 1998 he was introduce to a radical Christian belief and succumb to the peer pressure and became a devoted cult member. When I say radical here, it is no more then a mild description I could give. The group (cult) believes and supports polygamy. Stating that many key figures in the bible have multiple wives. In this they define that a great man is entitled to more partners. (yes not even Jesus whom is single could dispute his “belief”)

They even stated that the female population is always higher than the males because God had arranged this for some great men among us. I frankly thought its bullshit and we argue on many occasions. Beside this point, the cult also engaged in some weird matchmaking practice. If any guy has interest in any of their female members, they are to inform their pastor. The pastor would then open his book to note the guy down into the girl’s particulars. He would be informed when a date would be arrange and might have to wait if there is a list. And yes, there would be a list definitely.

Grumbles.

The sad fact is that it almost impossible to debate with my friend. They read and interpret the bible in their way and no matter how absurd the facts are, they would say that the Holy Book says so. I should just stone them.

Anyhow, it came to a point that I made a decision. I could no longer condone his beliefs and chose to cut my ties with him. He was surprised that I no longer call or acknowledge him when we are near. At first he kept his distance but it wasn’t long before he tried to initiate conversation. I kept my replies brief if any. Time soon allow us to drift apart and perhaps its better this way.

He gotten hitched last year and invited me to his ceremony. Despite feeling happy for him, I could no longer face him without feeling disdain. The thought of meeting his fellow church members and pastor gave me the strong desire to burn down their church (a shophouse) while they are all away. I did not reply to him. I did not attend. Despite more sms and prompts from our mutual friends.

Anyway, I have this final thing to say to M. I do hope to never meet you again. I do hope my kids wont be a student of yours. I do hope our paths never have to cross. I do not like to make another decision.

Going on a date, i hope

I been a big fan of the Mazda 2. That little nifty hatchback would have been a perfect car for me. Its small, light and fun to zip around the traffic with its 1.5 ltr engine. Just enough for me.

I was eyeing it for a while now and would have gotten it once my "situation" improved. In which case, it would be a while more to go.

Its then I notice a new babe on the block who is both young and easy on the eye. She has gotten my attention and I am lost for words now.

Meet the new Honda City

Now I am just waiting for an opportunity to arrive before I can ask her out.

My Bro wedding in 2 months

One of my closest buddy (whom I called my Bro) which I have known since Sec sch is finally tying the knot. It would be a joyous occasion and he has given me the task to be his band of brothers as well as the CO (Commanding Officer) for the dinner.

I said yes easily. And just last night I was at his place tasting Aussie, California, Spanish and French wines to decide which is the best for his guests. After like a sample of 4 shots a long way after dinner, I gotten a little tipsy and pointed the Aussie label.

Anyhow I am thinking of getting this lovely couple a Wii as a wedding gift. But I must first make sure he doesnt own one to begin with. The last I check his room was a mess after the renovations and I couldnt even find his TV. So what you guys think? Would a wii be a good gift?

And yes, Please avoid all China products. Dairy product is only the beginning.

time for a visit

It has been a couple of months since I saw my mama. Perhaps I would visit you tomorrow or sometimes soon.

I miss you a lot and you are in my thoughts frequently.

Reads

Whenever I am overseas, away from my comp, I have a terrible time keeping track of the stuffs I read. Oh I do read quite a fair bit online. Would spend like 2 hrs daily just reading.

So to bookmark my stuffs so that I can access it anywhere and also to share my nonsense with you guys, I have added a Reads column on the left. Yes your left not mine.

If we happen to be the same bunch of reader, ah you are a like-minded pal.

losing someone

Would you believe me, when I say that I din intend to post this entry but yet situation prompted me to. Perhaps God up there above is asking me to share how I feel. Or it could be that the mighty man is wanting to tell me something. In any case this is what happened.

Just a little background. I had visited the Holy Land a couple of days back. It was a one in a lifetime journey and I am glad to have made it. I visited the Holy City and look upon the path and tribulation of a man known as Jesus who carried the heavy wooden beam (to be formed as part of the cross).

Indeed no mere man could have complete this. The bible says the weight of the cross represents the weight of our sins. Thinking back now, I am a little embarrassed that I complained on the hot weather that day and shorten the 13 stations of the cross to just one short trip to his final resting place.

Interesting just a day or 2 before I visited Jerusalem, I teared uncontrollably in my tour bus. We were merely "visiting some other attractions", when my eyes well up and I immediately turned away from all. My sunnys were on and perhaps that cover the suspicious act.

What happen was that I was listening to my mp3, when a particular song reminded me of my dear grandma. I began to reminisce the times we had and I broke down after that.

I was rather surprise I broke down. After all, she had passed on for more than a year. Yet it strike me unexpectedly. I simply couldnt carrying on listening to that track. It was killing me hearing the words coming out. I switched it off and took the next 10 mins to calm my emotions down.

I had intent to keep this private. But a series of events prompted me to share my experience.

A close friend from my Poly days has suddenly passed away. I had initially tot that he was having problems with his wife when his MSN nick mentioned that he is awaiting for God answer on when he can go home. Now I understand it a whole lot better and would be paying my final respect to him tmr.

I also just came to know that another friend of mine grandma is critically ill. I am sadden for her and I do hope things would turn for the better.

Ahava the hebrew word for Love

Beside being the hebrew word for Love, Ahava is also a company which uses the dead seas as a resource for their skin care products. Its a cosmeceutical company that manufactures skin-care products made of mud and mineral-based compounds from the Dead Sea.

Interestingly, I had tried one of their muds product. It caused my body to itch all over when I applied it. But after you washed it off, you would be pleasantly surprised by the smoothness of your skin. Those whom visit the dead sea, could easily dip their entire body freely in the mud and proceed to the water to wash them off. God knows how many people have dip into the same mud you have paste onto your tonsil :P

Anyway I bought a few of their products and cant wait to try them. I do hope to avoid getting an itch again, but if its gives nice smooth baby skin, hey why not. I could use some anti ageing formula now.

Cheers to all, I would be back late this week.

It aint easy....

but I may have to do it.
