Right after Groove 2008...It was the exams...sucks right?But it was good for Murdoch students because we started the earliest...when we ended, UWA just started, so there wasn't much to complain in the end...It was one tough semester which all of us managed to weather through it and blink of an eye, it was over and the results were out...I did ok, all distinctions but it was a pretty let down with no high distinctions..I know that I gotta learn to be satisfied but its just quite hard I guess...well, just gotta live it through...But I really thank God for the results that I got..It was really tough but nevertheless, I should have done better in it I guess...Oh wells, moving on to the next semester I guess..another hard one but we shall see how it goes..

What else is there to update?Hm..err, I finally got my facebook account!haha...so dumb right..its like so lagged.So of my friends alright got their account like years ago except me..I guess I was really too lazy to get it done until I just force myself to do it because everyone was getting it which was really the problem but everyone was telling me to get it!so irritating so decided to get it done and over!GRR.....for those who wanna add me, just my msn email will do...thanks alot!

Hey, you guys watched transformers? you know how one car can transform into another one and things like that?Yeah! That's what happened to my car over in Perth!it transformed from:

to this one over here:

Oh yeah...I got a new car....haha...but I am kidding, not a BMW Z4..not so fast ya?Its a Toyota/Lexus Soarer.Hm, why is it a Toyota or a Lexus...Honestly, that car has a history...the model is a Toyota Soarer 1994 but the back of the car, the model and things like that is stated as Lexus...Its a pretty long story though but its like I am driving a Lexus right now..Ask me on msn and I tell you the whole story alright??but its really nice car...got it at very low price, really really very good deal...The model of my new car is as below...I haven't really got the time to take a photo of the new exact one but the model is the best photo that I can find..




Yeah, the car do comes with white rims as well!Haha..its so pretty, not to mention fierce...haha..so there goes the old one and the new car comes in...really thank God for it...I was kinda short of money and stuff?But once again, He never fails and provide, not just enough but more than that...remember the speeding fine that I got as well, the $250 one?it was $250, it was $150...haha...not like its much lesser or anything but it was really a blessing and stuff like that?Like everything worked out the way that it was suppose to be..so easily, not by ones effort but really all by God's grace..And there I was worrying about this and that, about getting a job, about the entire transaction but it all worked out, the perfect way...thank God once again...

So the holidays are here and what am I doing?Just doing fun stuff here and there of course..playing my DS and going on websites here and there..heres a very cool test that I took and there results are as follows:
Pretty cool eh!just click on it and you are able to do the test yourself and other tests as well!There are lots of cool stuff on it!haha..I am not doing useless stuff, I am working of course!haha..I managed to get a job at a bar in a Hotel.Its really good job, even though not a great position, I am really happy to be there..everyone's quite alright to work with, with a few of course being terrible but some really retardly funny...yeah...

Disappointment

Ever had that feeling that whatever you do is not good enough? Yeah, that's kinda how I have been feeling for a while..I don't really know why its something that I always feel and getting so deep right now that it really hurts. It just like, no matter how I try, its just not good enough or there's someone to top it. Hm.
It really hurts so bad that I can't meet up to the things that I set for myself and just always missing the mark.

Questions to ask one self

Upon packing my room, alright..not really packing but just shoving everything into one spot and making the room look neater, I stumbled upon notes that I taken down during the YA camp that I went for just last week..And its really interesting because there are alot of questions that one should ask oneself so that they can come to acutal realisation as a person of themself..Sounds deep, actually its just questions that you reflect upon and you discover yourself more.Simple, so here they are:

What is my biggest asset?
What is my bggest liability?
What do I like most from others?
What do I like least from others?
What is my highest high?
What is my lowest low?
What is the best thing to have?
What is the worst thing to not have?
What is the one greatest gifts that one can give to others?
What is my greatest gain?
What is my greatest loss?
What is my most worthwhile emotion?
What is my least worthwhile emotion?
What is my best habit?
What is my worst habit?
What do I always ask for?
What do I never ask for?
What is my most prized possession?
What is my least prized possession?
What is fulilling to me?
What is unfulfilling to me?
Who is my best friend?

As I was answering them, its really interesting to know where I stand as a person and where God stand in my heart and mind. So where will you and Him be standing?

Crazy Week break...

Oh yeah, its been a study break for me and no updates???no way..here's a very long update due to me being busy and stuff like that...haha..

PASSION CAMP AND YOUNG ADULT CAMP

This week break as been very interesting for me..There was the Passion camp and the young adults camp that I could go for..Both of them were fun of course, but due to 2 projects being due and a major company law test that was coming up, that was no way that I could attend the entire camp for both the events for sure..haha...So, of course, I went for the Megapraise on the last night of the passion camp...it was so good, the presence of the Lord was there for sure..It was really encouraging to see how the Lord is working in the lives of people that were there and stuff like that and everyone singing in one accord and dancing like they never have been, even if they couldn't..haha..totally reminded me of Alph just jumping around, still as hyped out and yeah, always encouraging..It was really really good to be taking time of to worship the Lord, even though the drive was like 30 mins up north?It was still good.

Young adults camp..that was another OWNAGE.I repeat,OWNAGE..It was held at Mandurah, like an hour drive down south at this seashell resort..haha..up north and down south, both were just good...below were just photos of the place that we stayed in..I tell you, its mad, really...look at the view!look at the rooms!okok..the rooms were messy alright but the rooms had like what,2 toilets, kitchen, balcony, even washing machine and dryer!!OWNAGE!

Check the swimming pool and the jacuzzi !

The view, was mad..that's crazy for the resort to be at..really..I almost died there, in fact, I don't really mind there to be my final resting place!haha..guess the best part was, I didn't pay for either the 2 camps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spiritual life

Its been really dry for me for some time..And I guess that seeing the situation when the past cell was, it was really time for me to move on. Yes, I am in the young adult cell now and I guess that the decision came as a shocker news to some but for others, they felt that it was time. It was getting any better, as much as I wanted to lie to myself, we all knew that there were so many things that were swept under the carpet. It was enough for me to keep myself going by serving and giving myself to the cell where I couldn't grow and refresh myself. I feel bad leaving the leaders behind, seeing them give so much of themselves out but yet..hm. The difference was that I could go, they were binded..that's the difference too, they were able to hang on and to stay, I couldn't..that's y I am not a leader.Haha..But all is well now, I am slowly getting the refreshment that I longed back, not all at once but slowly, I can feel it and the purpose are back..I guess the refreshment and the change in cell really did justify that its time for me to move..I can only move forward now and hope for the best for the rest.

Relaxing and chilling

Omg, ice skating is so fun..haha..one of those things that I did with a bunch of friends over the study break..I have no photos on it, crap..cause I didn't wanna break my camera when I fall!haha..I wasn't that good of course but it was fun, the way to glide, kinda like blading but also kinda different?Can't really explain the difference in the feeling but yeah, when you do it, its just so different..haha..Went to eat at Little Caesar Pizza, http://littlecaesarspizzeria.com.au/HTML/Menu.htm
The link is above..you guys can go check it out..it was in the hills!haha..was around like 40 mins drive and when we were there, there were so many people waiting for seats and stuff..haha..As Asians, we manage to get one because we like 'camp' at a single spot and got it, kinda pissed some other people off cause they were waiting for a while..but haha, who cares!it was so good, especially the desert pizza, with ice cream of it...OWNAGE..haha...it was really really good...
Other than eating and stuff, didn't really have much to really chill and have some time of my own, the rest were really studying and stuff...Grr, 2 projects and a major test...can't stand it but then after that, it will be all the way till the exams..

Money issues

haha, I can't really believe that this is one of my post for my blog..haha..nah, not really very much but I am in debt!no, I didn't over spend but because somethings happened during the week!that cause me a bomb..What happened that one might wonder that will put Mark in a debt..first, car accident. I hit someone..yesh, I know..How on earth did Mark get into an accident, the last person to. It was my fault of course, but not cause I was reckless driving, I didn't change the tires of the car even though it was due like last year..they were totally worn out..
Imagine the situation, car in fronts of me jam brake, me, full break + hand brake. Car brakes!nice!but how come car is still skidding towards the car in front????at 20km/h, bang...not so much of a major accident but the other car was scratch with the bumber out of place...my car, fine..Not only that!haha..double fines and demerits on dumb long weekend..was caught speeding to church..that's it lah...$250 on fines...

Let's do some accounting, put what I learn in university to practice shall we?

fines + wheels change + payment for car = $250 +$300 + maybe around $300 = $850 #(*%@

Hm..yeah..now you know...no job, savings dried up with a father who is telling me that I am over spending his money..wow...now that's some issue I have...but amongst all, I really feel at peace. I do not know why, not like I am super rich, all these is coming out of my own pocket and I just feel this comfort and trust in the Lord right now..I dunno how to explain but I will let you guys know how things went. Oh yea, I am fine in the accident.


Armed robbery 3 mins away from house

What the??"What a post", one might think. Yes, there was an armed robbery 3 mins away from my place. "Oh yeah?Big deal!", apparently, yes. It was 2 guys, armed with rifles, stomping into Winthrop supermarket, I repeat, SUPERMARKET at 1.30pm, yesh, in the BROAD DAYLIGHT. What the hell..this is Perth, its not Detroit.2 guys, masked and stomping in, putting the guns at the face of the cashier, shouting at them to put the money in the bags in WINTHROP area...OMG, its one of the safest area that we know but that safe right now..

Oh yeah, there's still the messages that I have heard from the pastors that I wanna share, but I will leave it for tomorrow post. Oh yea, do pray for me yeah?Those who know me, will know what I need from reading the posts..:)

Kidnapped

Here's a prayer to John's friend that she will be fine after all that she went through that she would be able to recover for everything that happened to her, most importantly emotionally and mentally...
Here's to the life, when we take it for granted and when something hits you, you will never know which way you are going to be heading once again. A few days ago, my pal John message me on MSN with news that his friend back in Malaysia was kidnapped. When I heard it, naturally I saw it as a joke from him once again but finally, I begin to realised that he wasn't joking and that she was really abducted. Yesterday, news of her came out., you guys can read it here..its not funny.. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/4/16/nation/20080416181942&sec=nation Its freaking scary for that 10 hours for her that she's been missing..I tell you, I will never step in Malaysia again...hm..

For a more positive side of the update..Week's break is here!Oh yeah..I so need this week break to catch up on work..there is so much to do and so much that I am lagging behind..hm..With the mid semster results being just OK, its time to really be bucking up and stuff..2 projects due and another test coming up before the exam, this semster is really slipping by really really fast..Well, it happens for every semster I guess..Can't wait for all the exams to be over..
And I am back to dancing again!Back to the old place and a new place now! Hip hop in the new class is so fun!And the beginners is so good..crazy..the way they move, so slick..lots more to be catching up!haha...Can't wait for salsa too!haha...I know, I am suppose to be studying and stuff as well...yes yes, we do need a balance in life don't we?hehehehehe.........

Ah Beng Joke

Haha...This joke was thrown at me that day and its still stuck in my head till now..Just thought of sharing it with everyone:

Ah Beng Joke
When Ah Beng and his girlfriend entered into a lift, An Beng wanted to reach the main floor (also known as ground floor or 1st floor in some countries). He looked at the lift panel and saw a number of buttons namely, G,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. He was pretty confused and still wanted to remain cool in front of his girl because he could not distinguished between G and 1. So he asked his girlfriend to press the buttons instead. His girlfriend pressed G and it reached the ground floor. He was very impressed by her and asked her, "Hey, how you know that G is the ground floor arh?!" She replied, "Easy lah, G ero lor!"
OMG..

Updating with Nintendo DS!

Pretty interesting day that I have today...Went to Garden city to get the Nintendo DS with a trade in on the PS2 that I got last year..Good trade that I have, I got the set at $100 and with all the games and stuff here and there, I didn't expect to get back around $104 so it was pretty worth it considering the amount of fun and time I had with that PS2 but of course, its time for it to go...
Oh yea..About the DS,I decide to get the Nintendo DS and omg, I am telling you, it is so fun..I ain't that addicted to it but I just have fun playing it and its different type of fun, not like those games where by you feel that you must win and to advance that kind of fun but just games that you can have fun being retarded and having no winning agenda to it..

So why a Nintendo DS?Why not a PSP or something else?

Well, reason being cause PSP just dun appeal to me..I mean, a DS is so cute and slick.Its smaller with a nicer feel and hold. Its games are just a bit cheaper too and I do not really wanna download and pirate games yeah? So overall, it just nicer to me!haha..and its white!oh yea, that's so my color..hehe..I guess I will be having fun here and there, but of course, not going to let it affect work and stuff...ain't that easy..

At night, went out to the tavern,Nicholson's Bar & Grill at Canning Vale with some friends and stuff..good food we had there...nice...for sure..the beer battered fries...something to die for..you guys should check it out one day..its at 6 Birnam Road,Canning Vale if you guys are wanna check it out...here are just some photos that are taken over there...its a great place to just chill and eat with friends...

The food was great...with good drinks and stuff..oh yea..nice...hahaha...hope to be able to visit other nice taverns soon...next stop, Mount Henry's..

Personality Tests!

I got this site where by they do like personality tests and stuff like that for people from a De Xin's blog and its pretty fun!I decided to post it here so that everyone can have fun on it too!haha..I did this test and it was so funny!it was like what type of baby animal are you.
One of the questions in there was "One thing that you think that you are better than other people:" and one of the option that I chose was "functioning on very little sleep" and for those who know me well, yeah, I sleep very little!This was the results:

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I am a panda?????what the.....
Have fun with the test...haha
