Section 23

I LOVE MALAYSIA!!!!!

ps - i know the story line of district 9 and section 23 are totally different its just that since they both have PLACES as their first names that is why i drew the relation...

ps..ps - no animals were harm in the making of this post....

Man Utd 2 - 1 Arsenal....So What?? =)

well welll...now that is why I LOVE with a capital L football sooo much....not just because Man Utd came up top for this match but it just goes to show that, the game ain't over till the fat lady sings....(its a football expression FOR REAL)

So once again just like how i did on the Man Utd - Liverpool post...i'm going to be very objective about a few things if its right its right if its wrong then its wrong la....

Reading the title Man Utd fans must be thinking....IDIOT....SO WHAT??? hahaha well yeah so what...to me this game was just another game in the whole season...YES it was a good game... YES they beat the Guooonerss YES Man Utd did walk away with 3 points and i guess ultimately that is the whole idea...it really doesn't matter THATTTTTT much who Man Utd beats ... its I believe a lot more to "good they have won yet another game to help them with the season" but what makes this win so special?? .... well i guess its because of the hype about Man Utd losing to a newly promoted side and Arsenal starting off the season with such a bang so putting 1 to 1 Arsenal were expected to HANTAM!!! Man Utd at home .... this defeat just shows that...The season is still so FRESH la dont talk cock sing song all about winning the title already just cause they went on a trashing spree for their FIRST 3 GAMES....=.=....

So about the game...all in all i would say it was a good game honestly not just because Man Utd won...but it was not 1 sided and chances were there for both sides....If you look at big games its always about who would break first MENTALLY....like the goal from Arshravin (or however you spell his name) Vidic should have closed him down and not allow him to shoot....as for Ben Foster...i guess he just wasn't expecting a shoot like that BUT take nothing away from the small russian dood it was a great goal...Then came the PENALTY which i believe changed the whole course of the game...once again things like this are not RARE it is quite common especially in big games....did rooney dive to get the penalty...NO...Almunia clearly TA PAU the fella which was kinda unessecary cause if rooney would have gotten the ball it would be a lot harder to put it pass Almunia. After the penalty, came the Freekick that GIGGSY took....a silly mistake by diaby and BAM!!! OWNNNN GOALLLL!!!!!! but if you watch the replay for that, Rooney was right behind Diaby and if Diaby let it go it would have fallen right into Rooney's feet and also BAMM!!!! but this time GOALLLL!!!!!

So that is about it...the highlights of the match...apart from the fact that Ben Foster managed a BRILLIANT reaction save and that Arsenal had 6 Yellow Cards.... Man Utd's lost to Burnley didn't really come as a BIG surprise for me...Shit happens in in life and in FOOTBALL so you better Buckle Up cause I can see an interesting season dawning upon us with more matches like this to come and perhaps more DRAMA!!! +)

Of Raining Mornings and Sunny Afternoons

Well its been a very long while since i blogged and its mainly because i'm on summer break and I really have no motivation to go about being my active self. BUTTTTT i'm really not complaining, i'm enjoying the laid back life i have right now...KINDA stress free, really NOTHING much to worry about and the occasionnal hanging out with frens is all very much NICE!!!!

So of rainy mornings and sunny afternoons huh...well that title has been stucked in my head for quite some time and it really has nothing to do with anything i'm goin to write about hahaha in fact i'm not to sure what i'm goin to write about. There has been however a few days that were literally raining in the morning and bright and sunny in the afternoon. To be honest i actually like that kind of weather hahaha the nice cold weather outside in the morning just makes curling up in bed oooooo so much nicer and the sunny afternoons welll are just sunny afternoons hahaha....

So ppl have been asking me how on good old planet earth do i survive 4 months of holiday practically doing NOTHING....hahaha...well there really only is 1 rule....TAKE EACH DAY AS IT COMES....i literally dont worry about what is going to happen tomorrow and just do what i feel like doing. =) NOT PLANNING for what i'm going to do tomorrow is really not me...when the semester begins again...i'll be constantly looking at the calendar planning and planning prioritising events and stuffs.....and things can really get out of hand sometimes ask any chemical engineer and they'll say pretty much the same thing...so when summer dawns upons us or ME specifically, I guess i just dont wanna work on high gear and thats why i opt for a very much more laidback lifestyle hahaha...

Ppl say i should get a part time job instead of just bumming around...well if I find a part time job worth doing ( NOT FOR THE MONEY ) then i would...besides sitting alone at home for most of the day gives me some time to myself too... Sitting here in my computer room watching as ppl go on with their lives thru FB and MSN and their BLOGS is quite interesting. Sometimes being awake at this hour alone...thoughts would creep into my mind...NO not negative thoughts...just thoughts of who I was and how did i get here and where am i now and where am I headed to....I was actually watching Yasmin Ahmad's commercials before blogging and she(he) really knows what she want her audience to FEEL, SENSE, THINK....of course I speak for those who are open minded and not those who look at her commercials thinking that it must have a hidden racist agenda....Here is the link to 1 of my favourite and its not because of interacial marriage but because of what the indian lady said....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2XLZsiCBsA.

apparently Yasmin Ahmad took the idea from the movie Good Will Hunting...but whatever la....what really struck me was the things said in the ad....and I really have to agree that being with our partners knowing their 'imperfections' is what makes them beautifully perfect and when they are gone it is the little things that you remember....like the way she laughs or smiles...or looks at you when you go on non stop ranting about that stupid driver....it is the little things that really matter after all...but this is said a lot more than done...when i watch this type of ads or listen to songs that i can really relate too...i get sudden burst of inspirations and thoughts...anyways while you are at that link look at the related videos and there are a few videos from thailand (not by yasmin ahmad) that are worth watching also...for those with a weaker heart i suggest you prepare tissues cause tears...i can gurantee you will be there hahaha....

well i guess thats all i have to say for now...so spend some time with yourself to get to know yourself better...if you dont know yourself how are you going to share YOU with the world...=)....

1st Time For Everything

Alrite i know this post is about 1 week late and my excuse for it being late is that I was just too lazy to do anything but watch tv series and sleep. hahaha....anyways like the title suggest there is always a 1st time for everything and last week I had 2 events that was my first time.

FIRST - It was MPO. So many years being a musician i have never seen a ochestra playing live before and come to think of it, it is pretty damn sad hahaha...so a whole lot of use went for this show ( cant remember the name and no its not because it was that bad ) and i enjoyed it. Although i did dose off here n there hahaha. We had to dress up like super formal in coat n all. The 3 main singers were awesome and the choir was i have to say better than HFC choir...sigh...but these ppl are I would like to believe PROFESSIONALLY trained...hahaha wherelse the HFC choir is just a group of guys n girls coming together and singing their hearts out for the greater glory. Anyways the violins were stunning and now i finally understand what my piano teacher wanted when she yelled at me MARK SOFTER SOFTER....just a rough idea of how the dinamics are...when they say soft it means to the extend of barely hearing anything but in the faint distance u can hear something...makes any sense to you? hahaha well it does to me...soooooo MPO was fun oh n it was my first time mamaking in FORMAL clothes too haha...so 2 first timers in 1 night woohoo....



SECOND - Man Utd was in town last week and they played against a Malaysian selection AND this happened on Saturday which clashed with MPO. I was a little disappointed but then again was thinkin i'll catch them the next time they come around. So the results of the match was of course quite unexpected. Malaysian hero Amri Yahya capitalized on his chances and gave Malaysia a lifeline and a chance at that game but ultimately Man Utd showed us once again why big buck players are called BIG BUCK PLAYERS only this time it came in the form of a free transfer agent...=)....I only manage to know the result of the match the following day which is a Sunday and flipping thru the pages something caught my eye... MAN UTD. TO PLAY A REMATCH WITH MALAYSIAN XI...and i was like WTF!!!! this is it...this is my second chance to watch the game LIVE...I was not going to miss out on this opportunity and after mass called that monkey finger fella and nick. Gomez agreed to go with me to Bukik Jalil to get the tics but the last minute he FFK me...=.=...so I by hook or by crook was going to go get the tics. I left my house at about 3pm and reached Bukik Jalil Stadium at about 3.20pm and when i saw the line, instincts kick in and i slow jog towards the line...looking to my right a couple was staring right at me n i staring right back at them thankfully the girl tak boleh lari so i made it to the line first hahaha....so Singaporean Kiasu Mentality...hahaha....

From where i stood when i got there

So there i was lining up infront of that couple...=)....under the hot sun hoping that the line would thin out fast...and then it hit me...why is it taking ppl so long to get the blady tics when all they have to do is say how many ppl...its not like they were at the movies trying to decide what show to watch...=.=...thanks to that Gomez fella i had to wait there alone...=(...but for Man Utd. I was willing hahaha....anyways after about 40 minutes or so...which is relatively a short time but since the sun was blazing it'll be categorized under LONG WAIT...so after the long wait the line then look something like this

40 minutes later

When I took the pic at this position there was this fella on the other line suddenly said "WHAT SOLD OUT" I was like Fish la Fish...i waited under the HOT sun for so LONG all ALONE then the bugger say sold out...first thing that came to my mind was...KILL GOMEZ...2nd was....well...nothing actually hahahaha....luckily for GOMEZ the fella repeated himself again this time sayin " WHAT the 308 SOLD OUT"...and i was like phew the RM 308 tics is it...sigh...its not good you know give ppl this kinda shock...especially when there are lives on the line...so a few minutes later, with ticket in hand and smile on face and satisfaction at heart...I couldn't wait to watch Man Utd play...the thought of seeing Rooney and Ferdinand and Evra and the whole lot of them play was ORGASMIC...hahaha....



MATCH DAY - So then match day came and the whole lot of us decided to be there 3 hours before the match...by the time we reached the stadium which was at 5.20pm the crowd outside the gate was like this (picture doesn't wanna come unto blogger) it wasn't the largest crowd i've seen in 1 given area but it was sure good to see so many Man Utd fans hahaha....anyways the game was good, the atmosphere was awesome...Man Utd....ahhhh....still my favs....and to sum it all up just watch the 2 videos below....So on MATCH DAY it was my first time going to a footbal game...it was my first time watching Man Utd play LIVE!!!....it was my first time gathering with so many Man Utd fans...it was my first time doing a mexican wave with thousands of ppl hahaha....all in all that weekend was a nice change for the normal weekends i have been having...so thats all from this post watch the videos...=) cheers





ps - blogger doesn't wanna cooperate with me so i cant upload the videos now...sorry for any incovenience caused...

The Silence Is Broken

OK finally i have enough of inspiration to write just a weee bitt hahaha...I've been kept shut by the plain fact that nothing much has been going on in my life...everything is or should i say was same old same old...But recent events have made me bring out the thinkin box

I have been struck dumbfounded a few times in the past week. I was once again reminded of how interesting and unique homo sapiens are. How some believe that when the going gets tough on one side just switch to the other. How decisions are made without thinking of the repercussions.

We all have made decisions in life....some very significant some less significant. Some ppl look at all their options before choosing what would suit them best and disregard others. Some would just make decisions without thinkin twice or the repercusions it'll bring after making such a decision. It is definately undeniable that we control our lives, yes and yes we dont have to care about what others think about who we are and what we do or how we express ourselves. Honestly, i do believe in this too but everything comes with a limit. When we make decisions that are life altering, it does not just alter YOUR life it changes the lifes of the ppl around you. Talking about change, ppl change for a reason or two, perhaps it was an event that happened to them personally or perhaps the change really isn't in others.

How do i know what i'm doing in life is right, how do i know this is the right path...these questions have most definitely been on our minds unless you really are so blatantly ignorant to where you are headed in life. My answer to these questions would be...look at how ppl around you are reacting. Reacting to the decisions you make, the lifestyle you live, the way you bring yourself cause i believe that every action we take has an equal reaction. It is simple physics but it sure can be applied in our daily life. I'm not trying to say that we have to be self conscious all i'm saying is that sometimes when we keep asking questions like why is this happening to me, why are ppl treating me like this, why is my life heading in this direction...maybe it's only fair to take a step back and just think...are my actions causing this? or am i just caught up in the middle of a situation.

I've been sitting back and watching and the sights i'm seeing are not gettin any prettier. Can i do something about it...perhaps...Responsibility is a word that is very under rated. Maturity is even more more MORE under rated.

Being responsible and matured doesn't mean old and boring... they are not synonyms agree with me or disagree with me i wanna hear all about it. Asking me for knitty gritty details i'm just going to say sorry. Has the recent events in my life compelled me to write this post YES.
So that will be all from me now i really wish i could write more but let me go think first before i come back....hahaha...Cheers!!

Mark Lim Emo Boy!!!

ok la i see every blog also got emo post so i also wan to have emo post. Cannot be social outcast hahaha....anyways so ready for my emoness....EMOOOOOOOOOOOOO EMOOOOOOOOO EMOOOOOOO EMOOOOOOOOO EMOOOOOO...ok done....=) hahaha

ANYWAYSSSSS.....i see my night at the hospital 2 post till sienz d so have to come up with another post. Since my ordeal at the hospital there was no rest for me, allison said suppose to get at least 1 month rest before resuming anything. UNFORTUNATELY i dont have the luxury of 1 month rest, i had to fire up my cylinders again making sure i was using high octane petrol to be able to catch up on what was lost. So as i mentioned in the previous blog, I did go for my annual dinner and i did perform for my talent quest finals all in pain but but the show must go on and if i would have pulled out i would have disappointed a lot of ppl. (Including myself) Talent quest turned out pretty good for us despite the fact that i was handicapped. We didn't win but personally i thought we won.

Here is the video(http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=524134611&v=feed&story_fbid=77617743829#/group.php?gid=60009384587) just scroll all the way down and join the group if you haven joined.

Then after talent quest, it was Process Engineering Project or a.k.a PEP that was hell i tell you...i had to juggle doing PEP and study math at the same time. The schedule looked like this

Monday - PEP assignment due
Wednesday - Math Test
Thursday - Thermodynamics assignment due.

So at the end of that week a very very VERY sad thing happened. I had to wave goodbye to ann ann...=(....woke up at 5.30am to go to airport to send her off. She'll be gone for 6 months, 6 months only right...ehhh no...now its been a week and its already hard....sighhh....emo emo emo emo emo emo emo...hahahaha...but i'm glad she took on the challenge and went to india. I spoke to her recently and she said some students cant take it and actually pulled out (not from masterskill)....with her absence...hmmm....life is so different....

That was on the 24th of april a friday and i decided to take some time off studies n rested but cannot rest in peace also cause every morning wake up think of...Ann, MPC, HMT, and SPF. So then study break commenced on the 27th of april. I have been going to Uni all week studyin with dharma. Then today is labour's day d lo...=.=...so fast la...i was kinda hoping the weekend didnt come so fast cause that just means WE ( the chem eng year 1 peeps) have less time. Oh i forgot, on thursday night went out for movie outing with the whole gang (without ann =(... ) we watched x-men origins: wolverine. The movie was good, stan lee had to rewrite the story a little to suite the movies cause it is not the same as the comic book or cartoons. I was hoping to see a little more mutants in action but GAMBIT was f****** chun i tell you hahahaha....is it worth watching...well yeah for sure if you are a marvel or x-men fan like me....hahaha....there is a little love story twist in the movie also...dont worry i'm not goin to give it out...go watch the movie its worth your time.

So today...hmmm...same old same old...MPC MPC MPC....was a bit too much to take d so i decided to take time off studies at night and DOTA hahaha....tomorrow or should i say today...i'll be heading to Uni again to study and get myself away from distractions....(points to tv, computer and musical instruments) hahaha....other than that....thats about it la....the emo part of this post is that i feel overwhelmed right now cause studies wise there is just too much...ask any chemical engineer and they'll say the same perhaps for a few exceptions hahaha....;-)....from the aspect of life...everything is ok nothing out of the ordinary apart from ann being so far away...

Here is a little something that came rigth off the top off my head....(i put here so can access it easier no need to go hotmail...hahaha)

all the love i have is with you and none other....with your absence my love for you still thrives on our fond memories and the love you left me before flying off to a far away land. I yearn for your return yet i'm glad that you have partaketh on this extraordinary journey to experience another side of life first hand. Fear not as everyday i still wake up only wanting you to be mine, i'll only be a fool to let such beauty and soul slip by again. I love you, these 3 words, 3 meagre words are the only thing i can give you. Despite our distance, i hope you can feel my love, for my love has been radiating violently here in hopes that it'll reach you. Even if its just a tiny speck of love you may feel, sorrow i shall not feel for at least i know the pain i go through is worth it.

xoxxo

Night at the Hospital 2....=)

Greetings ppl, yes this is the sequal to the Night At The Hospital which was my first ever blogpost... n yes as the title suggest. I was in the hospital once more this time for 3 days and 2 nights. The last time i was admitted was due to lower abdominal pain n was discharged the following day cause the pain subsided. However this time, the pain came on tuesday night and did not subside the next day (April Fools day) so off to the hospital it was for me AGAIN...

I got up the next day with very minimal amount of sleep due to the stabbing pain in my lower right abdomen. My maid said i look pucat while i waited downstairs for my mom to come get me. I was admitted at about 11am and the doctor scheduled my surgery the very same afternoon. He said it was unwise to wait again since its a reaccurance. So before checkin in i had to go thru a few test first the same old same old. Urine test, blood test and this time they even did an ultra sound on me hahaha...damn cool right...but it hurt like FREAKIN hell k. The fella had to press the thing against my appendix (WHERE IT FREAKING HURT THE MOST) to see if its inflamed. Even with the ultra sound, no1 can determine for sure if its appendicitis but the radiologis said it looked pretty inflamed. So after being wheeled from 1 room to another i laid in bed waiting waiting for the time to come. For me to go under the knife and lose that 1 useless organ of the body and as useless as it is it can still cause a hell lot of pain. So at about 1pm the nurse came in the room with the surgical gown and asked me to put it on. Yes it was bare bak...sexy?hahaha and yes my ass was exposed. The nurse specifically said : " you have to remove everything ah, even ur panties." =.= ... panties? wtf man i dont wear panties man i'm not some cross-dresser. I wear briefs or underpants...=.=...and trust me with the stabbing pain in my abdomen getting changed was hard. Before getting changed i had to be POKED, they inserted that needel thing again to feed me artificially as i would like to put it. The nurse first inserted the needle into my vain in me left hand. But the fluid got stuck n i could see my vain swell. I tell u it was shitty pain man.... and this is not some kind of bad april fool joke k...You would have freaked out if u seen my vain. So the needle was removed and disposed off and they tried again this time in my right hand...wahhlau....like 1 time pain not enough must do AGAIN.

So ok as i was sayin after gettin changed the bed was waiting for me right outside the toilet d. The nurses were pretty eager to get me cut up. So off i was to the Operating Theater. Wonder why they call it that, is there that much of a show when ppl get cut up...hmmm...i certainly guess so. Anyways it was into the elavator and down a floor before i was pushed into the some what waiting room of the OT. After 10, 15 mins the nurses told me alrite we're goin in boy. The OT looks damn cool hahaha though. I was moved onto the operating table and NO it was not made of metal thus my ASS was not freezing. The doctor who puts ppl to sleep (dont know how to spell his profession and lazy to find) was chinese so he spoke to me in cantonese sayin :" ok ah i'm goin to inject the anesthetic now ah." whilst placing the mask over my face. I was thinkin to myself, alrite this is it man. I looked into the mask took 2 deep breaths and the when i finally opened my eyes all i could see was bright lights. I felt very very disorientated and the stabbing pain was still there. I was thinkin to myself omg did i wake up half way thru the operation? and i think said Where am i, where am i. Cause i heard 1 of the nurses sayin the operation is over d BOY...i remember being very agitated and moving around a lot and also my nose was blocked and my throat stuff with mucous. The pain was really unbearable and so they administored pain killer. The first dose went in but nope didn't help, i still was very agitated. So they gave me a 2nd dose and thats when i begin to settle down. I was still very disoriented and i keep slipping in and out of conciousness. When i open my eyes again i could see my room door and my mom standing outside, i could hear her sayin something too but couldn't remember wat, hahaha then after that Ann was there oh boy was i feeling even more relieved. I tried to open my eyes and say hi but tak da ada strength. KOSONG, nil, SIFAR, POCHII, MEI YOU....NADA....all i could do was hold on to Ann's hand. After finally waking up a little, i was damn thirsty but couldn't drink water AT ALL. At about 8pm i finally was able to have my first cup of water and it felt weird, hahaha...seriously. Water never tasted so good before, doctor still did not allow me to eat or even drink milo, it was just clear fluids for me. Just when i thought my ordeal was over, the nurse came in and told me that i need to go pee now or else they'll have to insert a tube into my wee wee....=(....bugger when i heard that the urge of peeing came *snaps fingers* just like that...hahaha....So when i went to the toilet to pee, my gosh i felt weird also, but luckily i manage to pee. Shitting or pls dont get me started all i can say is even up till now shitting is a major task for me as the wound is on my stomach n just incase u ppl didn't notice u need ur stomach muscles to contract and push ur SHIT out. Well i cant do that, i cant use my stomach muscle. So that means no LAUGHING, COUGHIN, SNEEZING, SLEEPING ON MY SIDES (yes that means i sleep in 1 position only) even walking is difficult for me, sitting, bending over, blowing my nose all this trivial stuff is becoming a real TASK for me. Each time i wanna cough or sneeze i need to hold on to my wound to not let it bounce too much or else it'll hurt like hell. I cant sit straight for long and my daily routines has gotten more interesting.

On thursday i started eating and boy it felt good, FREAKIN good. I did not eat for 36 hours straight and was sustained only by drips. Each day was a real sturggle for me as i was gettin used to my current condition. All the limitation and pain, i just need to overcome them with mind power. Even as i write to every1 today, NOW, i'm hurting. Thank god me family and Ann and sandy came by to visit me as it is utmost uplifting to see your love ones. Apart from my physical pain, I was metally hurt too. Before the operation, i was running on full cylinders balancing love, studies and music. I have my annual dinner on saturday, talent quest finals on tuesday and my semester is coming to and end. Then this happened and it all came to and abrupt stop. My life was slown down from running on fifth gear all the way down to second gear without even goin thru the 3rd and 4th gear. It was hard as i knew there was so much coming up ahead and yet i'm in this condition. All i can do now is sit and wait, and pray for a speedy recovery.

I believe god threw this fast ball at me for a reason i just dont know wat. I will waste not time pondering over it, it will be a page in my book that i will fold and move on hoping that 1 day i would understand why. No1 is to be blamed and as 1 door closes on me i'm hoping another would open. I truly am greatful to my family Mom, Dad, Shaun, Daniel, Celine and Ann for being there for me, as for talent quest this coming tuesday fear not as The Last Minutes will not pull out of the comp as the show must go on. So until next time tata and remember HEALTH IS WEALTH.




ps ~ i was admitted in KPJ and the pictures and videos will be uploaded in due time...=) cheer ppl and take care
