CHOCOLATE THERAPY! You scored 88% SWEET, 66% CHUNKY, and 85% UNIQUE!

chocolate ice cream with chocolate cookies & swirls of chocolate pudding ice cream You, my friend, ooze sweetness, just like this ice cream flavor. But there's much more to you than that...you tend to view things differently than other people and you like to engage yourself in creative, challenging activities. You're spunky, but not too wild, which is nice. Those who understand you tend to get along with you very well, appreciating all that you have to offer...and you offer a lot :)

wake up... to the WHAT??? (it was supposed to be nice aroma of buttered honey toast)...

woke up...
thought of making myself a nice cup of coffee & honey on toasts...
guess what(who) i found on my way to the kitchen
STRANGERS in the house...
daughters of eve i've never seen around the house
yah, daughterS of eve.



you can call me ancient but i'm not going to change my view
i still strongly feel that a daughter of eve shouldnt go around
spending a night at a son of adam's house
call me ancient, i wont compromise on my values and beliefs
sons of adam shouldnt go sleeping(metapphorically, n literally) around

as much as i'm against this
i cannot deny that it is happening around me
it is happening around us
it is happening in campus
in fact, it is happening everywhere

cohabitation
couples being "roomates"
kononnya to save on rental
live-in partners?
"haiya, why you so kolot one ah?"
"my girlfriend can cook for me mah!"
"she does my laundry too!"
"i wanna see him everyday mah!"
"then might as well stay together lah!"

sick!
i'm sick of how young people behave nowadays
call this the norm?
what's normal, and what's ABnormal?
what's common, and what's uncommon?
i don't care bout what other people's doing
there's no way i'm gonna follow suit just because everyone else is doing it.

i'm sick of this!
sick of seeing some strange son of adam
walking out of a daughter of eve housemate's room early morning
sick of finding strange daughthers of eve
lying next to some sons of adam housemate when the door had been left ajar

sick of how some daugthers of eve would have to pop the morning after pill
sick of how some sons of adam with their "muka selamba", and the "no big deal" look on their face!

what a wretched world we live in
with lots of wretched sons of adam, and daughters of eve
how wretched are we
that without the grace of god
we'll be doomed to be bound in this wretched world
slave to sin

Lord i pray today,
set us apart, to be holy and consecrated for you.
we need your grace and mercy.
help us.

"Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man doesis outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

of fibroids, cysts, and fallopian tubes...

i think you might have guessed
yeah, women's health.

mom went and did pap smear test just the other day
dad told me over the phone just a moment ago
the doctor had urged mom to do it
since it was already 2years since the previous test
result: ok.



menopause
a Big word for a 24 year old
but a matter all woman (and the man of their life, of course) should know
'the ceasing of menstruation or the period in a woman's life (typically between 45 and 50) when this occurs.

fibroids, cysts, Fallopian tubes...
i've known women who had gone under the knife
to remove fibroids, cysts, and some, Fallopian tubes,
some even had the womb removed.
women, who are mothers, and mothers-to-be...

(...to be continued)

people watching...

watching them go by the lecture halls
watching them rush for the bus;
watching them push their way trough the crowd
just to be among the first on the bus,
so that they could get a seat...

would you let those on the bus get down the bus?
would you at least show a lil concern for those people,
people who were at the bus stop first,
people who were queueing...
WAIT... what queue?
I don't see no line...
I forgot, Malaysians dont know how to queue.
But they do know how to potong-Q!!!
i cannot tahan this kind of attitude
gave 'em a #$%^ of a lecture that evening
but, i guess it fell on deaf ears
like i was talking to the wall
nobody cares
nobody queues
nobody...

same for my bus experience
same at the university's Pusat Kesihatan.

what are numbers for when the others couldnt care less bout it
potong-Q, right in front of the rightful person...
who cares if you're a veteran staff of the uni
who cares if you're a professor
who cares if you're the son of the dean
who cares?
tak pernah belajar Pendidikan Moral ah?

sigh... 3 world mentality...
smacked, right in my face!
this is how our students behave.
Shame!
Malu!
マレーシアの恥だ！！

NC テーマソング NotIce （NC Theme Song）

世にある　痛み　苦しみに背を向け
心を　硬く閉じていた
気つけば　友の痛みにも
気つかない　振りさえしている

こんな私のことを　キリストが呼んでる
使わされた　この場所で　歩むように　だから

喜ぶ者と一緒に　喜べるように
悲しむ者と一緒に　悲しめるように
冷たい心　砕かれ溶かされること
求めて　生きてゆきたい
主　イェスと　ともに　いきたい

random thoughts on having guys as housemates...

they hardly help with the trash...
a dustbin, almost full only means,
"better be extra careful when throwing rubbish to prevent from spilling out"
and do not understand that it needs to be replaced with a new garbage bag.

laundry will forever stay in the laundry basket
lest they were being reminded of...
smelly socks, rag-like undies, moldy t-shirts and who knows what else is in there;
till someone decides "enough is enough"
when you detect foul-smelling "scent" from the wash area.

doing the dishes is like an alien word
"no need to wash lah, wash only when you need to use them (the next time) lah"
used pots n pans, cups an mugs, forks n spoons, plates n bowls,
being left in the sink,
for days,
before someone else who cannot tahan anymore washes them clean.

this is the most absurd part!!!
margerine n butter, eggs n milk,
eaten by some "borrowers"...
who left trails of evidence,
like breadcrumbs in the margerine...
Hah! Gotcha!
haven't ya noticed that i'm such a neat freak that i only spread my butter in such a way that it leaves behind the mark of my butter knife in an anti-clockwise circular pattern???
Aaand, i clean up every bits and pieces of breadcrumbs in and around the margerine container!!
Gotcha!

guys as housemates...
guys who would be boyfriends of young maidens, one day
guys who would be husbands of wives, some day
guys as housemates...

and i wonder what will their mothers say...
what will their girlfriends say...
what will their wives say...
hahahah... and what will their mothers-in-law say...
