Wow wow wow! What an awesome night! A night where talents were discovered. Forget about Malaysian Idol. This is CHC Karaoke Competition 2005! The competition among the contestants were so tight and I am sure the group of people who enjoyed the night the least were the judges! Out-of-this-world performances, ear-deafening cheers, an overwhelming atmosphere. It was a night for everyone to just sit back, relax and enjoy as the nerve-wrecked participants entertain us! Hmph, then again most of them were really cool about it though this is the very first time City Harvest Church Malaysia is having such an event. So again, a very well done to all singers!

• Outside. And yes, it was a long queue!

• As the doors were opened, everyone walked in with excitement. Those who are wearing black are supporters of West Zone and those in red, East Zone. Er..North Zone? Hehe!

• Welcome to the Grammy Awards, folks! CHC-Style!

• Crystal, the first contestant. It's never easy to be the first one out there. But with her powerful vocals and awesome performance, she nailed it as if she has been doing this for years! Bravo!

• Wai Teng. Captured many peoples' hearts with his version of "Peng You" by David Tao.

• Faith! Haha, sorry but this is the best take I have of you! Was trying every setting to get it right.

• Carrine Chan! I guess our surname is the only thing we have in common because I know for sure I ain't got the singing talent that you have!

• Raymond, with his version of Belaian Jiwa! Raymond emerged as Second Runner-up and won himself a 512k IPod shuffle that night!

• Angeline. North Zone representative. Aiks, forgotten what song she sang! But possesses strong vocals nevertheless!

• Jaime! Another North Zone representative!

• Need I introduce this guy? Mr. Hendra! The crowd favourite for the night! I guess my camera was one of your fans too!(coz this is like the best shot I took the whole night! The lighting and background colour. Ah, just perfect!) He sang R. Kelly's "I believe I can fly." We know you can, Hendra. We enjoyed flying with you that night! Well done! His performance earned him the First Runner-up position and he won himself a 1GIG IPod shuffle.

• Last but DEFINITELY not least, Andrew Lau! Andrew emerged as the eventual champion and won himself a trophy and an IPod 20 gig!

Hold on guys! The event is not over yet! All ten finalist put up a great finale by singing "Angels Brought Me Here" by Guy Sebestian.

There was also a special performance by Will Tan. A promising song-writer cum artiste in Malaysia who has written songs for many international singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Will has just released his very own album and is doing very well! And guess what! He's a City Harvest member!

Ah, yes. A group picture with the winner! West Zone is proud of you, Andrew!

- See you all in CHC Karaoke 2006! -

I went to fun fair! I went to fun fair! *hahah* Yeps, that was how excited I felt through out the whole time I was there. Heard about this fun fair before my finals but have got not idea where it is till I drove past the 1U new wing's parking area. With the knowledge that it has been operating for the past few weeks I knew that the fun fair wasn't going to be there for much longer. I was so determined(ahah..maybe even more determined than the time when I was studying for exams) to go. Had to face much obstacles that day. The rain, people cancelling out last minute; just to name a few(haha..actually that was pretty much it =P). Nevertheless, I went to EURO FUN FAIR !

Arrived there with Aaron at around 9:30p.m. Walked around for almost an hour because Diksha, CheKang and Valentina were still on the way from Midvalley. Aaron and I started to scout for rides that we would be interested in(we couldn't take all the rides as they are relatively expensive). As we were walking, we were also coming out with an approximate amount of money that we need to spend. Every ride had a different price and we came into conclusion that the higher the level of intensity of the ride, the more expensive it is. I guess it was pretty wise for us to come out with a budget. So the magical figure that we came up with was RM 30. Hmph, that's the thing about budgets. We can never stick to them!

• (Taken from the carpark, walking towards the funfair) *kind of blur, I know*

• What is a funfair without the ferris wheel. Yeps, this is definitely the first thing that caught my eye upon entering the place.

• The name of this ride is Top Gun. No idea why they named it that. Probably it's because..you..em..yeah no idea why they named it that. You know the thing we learnt from physics, whereby all the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy when an object reaches its peak height? It is SO TRUE! This time, I was the OBJECT! Considering this is moving in a circular motion, we need to take into account the targential acceleration and the radial acceleration. After doing the math for both of them, we can then use Pythgoras' Theorem to get its resultant acceleration. So basically, in order to count the force that I was going through, all you need to do is multiply my mass with the resultant force. Hmph, but not knowing the exact speed and everything I can't come out with a specific figure but what I can tell you is, it is BIG! We also know that Stress = Force/Area. Area is inversely porportional to stress. That means the smaller the area the bigger the stress. Well, I am basically quite small in area*short marh*. Hence, the equation is RIGHT! I was feeling so freaking "stressed"! Sorry for the lengthy explaination. Engineering student mah. =P

• There is NOTHING scary about the Horror House! What a waste of RM 4! I was no afraid of no ghost. The only thing that scared me in there was the attendant who stood by a corner just to make sure nothing goes wrong inside the Horror House. Hey! He appeared out of nowhere, kay? =P

• Diksha, pretending to be afraid. He soon found out that his pants were wet as the "ghost" shoots out water. Haha!

• The Challenger. Not entirely scary. Not when compared to Top Gun. It basically swings like a pendulum. Had time to kick Aaron's leg during the ride! Hee hee!

After all that, we still managed to capture a few shots before we left.

• Diksha and Valentina. Heart shaped by CheKang. AWww...

• CheKang and I. Ferris wheel ride.

• CheKang and Aaron. Ferris wheel ride.

• ME. After coming down from The Challenger.

• Valen, with her bear which is suffering from leukimia! Haha. Its fur started to come off the moment she won it from one of the game stalls. Hmph. Maybe that is why she won it so easily! =P Nah, kidding..adorable, cute and very huggable. Ah yes, I am talking about the bear not you, Valen!

• All fun must come to an end. Goodbye Euro FunFair 2005. We shall probably meet again in the next decade or so. Will probably be too old for this by then and heart condition will not permit us to ride on certain rides anymore. Haha!

So yeah, after that has ended, Aaron and I counted the amount of money we REALLY spent on that night. Here goes:

Entrance Fees . . . . . . . RM 3

Payment for rides . . . . . . . . RM 32

Reliving childhood days . . . . . . . . . P R I C E L E S S.

As promised, I will be posting up the "Gotcha Call" that was played on my coursemate, Mr. Devan. We(Diksha, Aaron and I) laughed our arses off when the prank was aired. The normally cool-headed friend of mine(Devan) turned into this puppy who just lost its mama, begging for a way out of the mess that he was supposedly in. Much credit to Diksha(from now on, you are known as ShaSha! =P) who was ever so semangat, typed out the conversation word for word! Guys, it cannot be more accurate than what you are about to read. Alright here goes.

JJ had a crack on this one.

*beep beep*
devan: Hello
jj: Hello, can I speak to Devandran please?
jj: My name is Loges. I'm calling from School of *censored* (engineering)
devan: Alright, Okay.
jj: Alright, We've got some problems here.
devan: Uh uh
jj: Did you sit for the exams last two weeks ago?
devan: Of course I did
jj: Okay, there's a problem because apparently we have you checked down as.. attendance, that you have attended it, alright? but we don't have your exam paper?
devan: This cannot be.
jj: Wait let me double check. your id number is *censored*
devan: No
jj: Are you sure?
devan: I'm very very sure
jj: uhm, I don't care if you are sure or not, I'm afraid I have to tell you this, that you have to come back and sit down for the paper again please? Could you do it like tomorrow? Are you free?
devan: What? Come back and sit for the paper?
jj: Ya because we need to pass it up or else we can't mark the rest
devan: No no...can you check.. can you check with the other.. with the other..
jj: With the other what? Who is your facilitator on that?
devan: which.. which paper?
jj: who..
devan: *censored*
jj: You sure arr?
devan: You mean the subject chief..I mean.. the lecturer?
jj: These people are all professionals.. I doubt they made the mistake. I think you made the mistake.
devan: Could you please double check the paper cause there is no way I could have written the code wrongly.
devan: What did i do?
jj: I think you filled up wrong
devan: Filled up wrong means? As in?
jj: The codes..and now your paper's gone somewhere else and you're causing people trouble. devan: Okay ar wait...
jj: Do you pay attention? Are you one of those who sleep in class?
devan: Definitely not (hahaha!!! yeah rite Devan, we are like sleeping buddies in class! Erm, didn't come out right)
jj: Then why are you doing this kind of mistakes? These are juvenile mistakes.
devan: Wait a minute.. Wait a minute..(takes a short breather) okay.. huh...let me...okay..let me just think this straight... can you er.. means when they collect the paper.. when they collect all the papers what happened to them?
jj: What? They collect the paper, they pass it to the transfer department. The transfer department sort it out according to codes, okay?
devan: Will i sit for the same paper if I come tomorrow?
jj: Will change a bit la. Tweak the questions here and there. We can't make it too easy for you, and then you pass with flying colors and then.
devan: Okay
jj: It's wrong don't you think so?
devan: Sir please sir, I sat for the paper. I work for the paper so hard(Which is very true. Which makes this prank all the more fun to be played on you. Haha..*evil laughter*). Please tell me there's something, some other way to do this.
jj: Some other way to do this?
devan: okay wait.. when I collect.. collect.. when you... when the papers were collected, I mean my name was on the attendance slip my table number was all definitely correct.
jj: Table number is not important. I was telling you about the codes, correct or not?
devan: I.. I definitely did write the subject code
jj: Did you pay attention when the people gave like "make sure you fill up the form codes properly."
devan: Yes definitely. On the exam script
jj: What did you use to write?
devan: Pardon?
jj: What did you use to write?
devan: I used pen, blue pen. blue... err yeah, blue pen
jj: Do you understand we always ask to use black pen? Did you read that or not?
devan: No no i didn't
jj: That means its your mistake. I could not be bothered to fix this already. Its your fault
devan: Sir sir...
jj: You resit it for next semester la. Its not my fault right? You.. who asked you to make the mistake?
devan: Sir sir please sir. Help me out here
jj: You want me to help you out?
devan: Yeah

jj: did you see his papers?
devan: Definitely not
jj: Definitely not. you did not see his papers ar?
devan: Of course. Its impossible. Sir please Sir. I sat for the paper, I worked so hard, please help me sir.
jj: What you want to be in the future?
devan: I want to be an engineer
jj: You want to be an engineer? Why you want to be an engineer? Tell me why
devan: That's my ambition
jj: Just to be your ambition. Not the money is it?
devan: Of course I want to support myself sir.
jj: Yourself? That's all?
devan: And my family
jj: That's all you want to do? Don't lie, come on, be honest with me boy.
(JJ actually asked Devan if he wants to become an engineer because chics dig them. But it wasn't aired)
devan:....
jj: Okay i got one more question and then i'll settle it for you la okay?
devan: Okay
jj: Alright. err... where are you staying now? Where are you staying now faster tell me!
devan: Ipoh Ipoh

Wow! This is already my second post! And my previous one was like what? An hour ago? Making good progress here! Considering that my birthday is only a month plus away, I thought it would only be appropriate if I post my wish list now! This would give more time for my friends to save up and get presents for me!

Below are the items in my wish list(in no particular order)


(Ipod Video)



(Adidas Superstar Anniversary Edition)


(Sony Ericsson w900)


(Sony Ericsson w800i)
*considering the fact that w900 is not released yet, w800i will do. Hehe!*


(French Connection shirts! Topman ain't bad as well =P)


(Adidas Sweatvest..)
*hehe..always thought I'd look kinda cool in one of these :P *


(Wilson nCode nSix-One)


(Adidas Barricade 3, tennis shoes)

Haha! I better stop now before everybody thinks I am this demand freak. 34 more days, guys(girls too)! Save up as much as you can in order for you to fulfil Tim's wishlist! =P









Yeaps you heard it right! I am going to blog about "My First Time"! My first time in what you may ask? My first time blogging, of course! Heh, a bit lame to start off the first entry =P. So what inspired me to start blogging? I guess it's really to see if there's something worth mentioning or remembering by the end of every day of my life.

Am not going to blog much about what I done today because I felt that I have wasted half the day day-dreaming, tossing and turning on my bed. Not that I really want to but I reckon it is caused by the 12am - 3am futsal session I had the night before! And to add to it, I actually played an hour of futsal in the afternoon! Praise God that exams are OVER! Gone were the days whereby I had to stay till 2am in the university's foyer to study. Gone were the days that I need to worry of how many chapters to cover.

My goal this holiday is to make it as productive as possible! No more waking up in the morning and day-dreaming till noon!(well, today is an exception I guess). Going to be so pro-active this holiday till I won't even have time to slack! I am on the right track so far! Exams ended last Wednesday and on that night itself I went to the PlanetShaker's conference in Sunway Convention. Liked it so much that I found myself attending the Thursday night's session as well! The Praise and Worship sessions were just so awesome! The ability of the worship leaders to flow with the crowd was so admirable. Lightings and sound system are just out of this world! But one thing that is not so awesome is the responds of the crowd during the preaching of the Word. Some were talking to each other, some were typing sms-es. It's really sad that the same excitement that they had during praise and worship could not be transferred to the sermon time.

Alright, enough about the Planetshaker's conference.

Most of you probably heard of the Hitz.FM Gotcha call! Guess what, a few friends and I (Diksha,Aaron and yours truly) planned out a prank for our coursemate, Devan. The game plan was to make HITZ.FM(Rudy and JJ) call up Mr. Devan and pretend to be a Monash staff. Here Mr. Devan is told that his exam papers were missing/not found/had faults. He is to RESIT his papers AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. But he will have an upperhand because the papers that he needs to resit are exactly the same to the ones he had sat for last week! So some of you may think, "Hey! That's good, now I can correct the silly mistakes I have gone during the paper!" Yeps it sounds good and all. But it will totally stink big time for MR. Devan as he is now in IPOH! Haha! You will need to catch the rest of the story tomorrow morning! Will update on that!
