Frustrating week..

It just seems to be that when bad things come...they all seem to come together. Well, of course some stuff are minor and some are major...but it just brings a negative reaction out of you. Frankly, though it's said that you can look at the bright side of things as all the positive people would tell you. But on certain things there isn't much of a bright side to look at..

I can't mention everything that happened...but the one that really made me blow over the top would be the issue about my bluetooth headset. I bought a bluetooth headset from company A and i have used it for about 5 months. So far there hasn't be any major problem with it, but recently it started to give problems. Luckily for me there is 6 months on the warranty, means i don't have to pay for the repairs. The problem with the gadget was it couldn't be switch on, so i sent it in. Well, after a few days, all hopes of having my headset back were dashed. The shop informed me that the service center wouldn't replace or repair my headset because of a sticker on the device has been torn. Tell me how stupid an excuse is that?? ....and when i came home i gave them a call, and the customer service person din seem like much help at all...in fact that person seemed rather ignorant to me.


Absolutely ridiculous,

Missing link....

Erm...it's another saturday to begin with...and more often now than before ...i tend to look forward to weekends alittle more than usual. I also wonder why at times..anyway, today was a day i was looking forward to starting...but i'm rather eager to end it quickly.

I had plans for the day...basically attend a couple of college's open day..but i ended up visiting none. I would like to stress my point, that it's no one's fault..just one of those things that don't work out right at times. Dad had work , Mom had stuff to do and my car is still un-serviced. Verdict = can't go anyway.

I've been feeling weird all morning, ....i felt hungry but can't eat anything , i feel excited but yet very unhappy. Very odd, i don't feel like this very often or at all. Well, i've been learning how to play the guitar and i came across this song...."Devotion"...and trying my best efforts to play it...suddenly just felt like everything went back into place. thanks Leonard for letting me use his precious electric guitar...

Here's the song....

I've been running trying to be one who sees

I've been working salvation out of my knees

there is nothing better than knowing

we are redeemed

I'm believing trusting in creative hands

I am praying for our world to bow to Your plan

and this one thought is unmistakeable

I take up my cross and follow You lord


Chorus:

when You stand the tall trees and mountains bow

when You speak the fiercest of oceans is still

and I see sinners seek devotion

lost become chosen
 
and I fall to my knees


Verse 2:

I'm forgiven by a Savior who did not deserve death

He was blameless, when I was lost in shamefulness

I'm delivered but it doesn't seem right

unless I keep my eyes focused on the Savior who gave His life


in the middle of a world that denies it believes

it is breaking apart at the very seam

in this one thing to be alive for

and it's to take up my cross and follow You Lord


Bridge:

I will take up my cross and

follow Lord where You lead me

I will take up my cross
   
and follow wherever You go (2x)

FAQ with Kevin Lee , answering to all your questions

Alright it's been a full day since i collected my SPM results, and since then i've been bombarded with questions about what i'm going to do. People seem really curious and take lots of interest in my studies and my decisions...and let me stress again that i'm truely grateful for all the concern showed. Yesterday , in total there would be about 30 people who have asked me that question. I answered some people and i declined some others.

I firstly apologize for not answering your question because it's quite a pressuring question and i haven't really made up my mind. So it's quite frustrating being unable to answer every question that has been asked.

First and foremost my results. I don't mind at all telling ...but for complete information sake here it is : 1A 5B 2C 2D. I've continued my 1A streak...nothing really proud of...but at least i don't think my results have declined. It has always been the same pattern....an A with lots of B's ...Guess that makes me a "one trick pony"

Now to the questions : -----FAQ now in session------

Q1: What Am I going to do after this ( SPM ) ?
A1: Well, there have been many options presented to me. Alot in various different ways, very tailor made for students with different interest and needs. For my case, I frankly haven't really decided what i intend on doing or at least i'm not convicted with what i want to do in college. Be it STPM , A-Levels , Diploma and etc etc.

Q2: Would i consider STPM?
A2: No, unfortunately no. I think STPM is really tough and only the really hard-working people or the brains of brains..(which i'm neither of). In some other cases, people who want to do Medicine, which i can't do cause i'm in Arts stream.

Q3: How about A-Levels then?
A3: Perhaps so, i think i'll fancy A-Levels more than STPM at least. People say that going for A-Levels will give me more time to think about what i really want to do but over the span of that 1 and a half to 2 years, i've got a feeling that i still won't be convicted about what i really wanna do. However, i'm not closing this option. I've heard that Arts stream A-Levels has a very wide range. So i'm just playing this on the cards. One at a time.

Q4: Have you considered anything in mind then?
A4: Yes i have. I think that whatever my interest is ...i don't see a future for it in Malaysia at least. When you can't find what you want , you rely on trustable opinions in my case, my parents. They believe marketing suits me most, and i trust their opinion and there have been some really decent marketing courses offered at various colleges which are rather tempting i may say. However, there is a gray area of uncertainty that remains unsolved.

I hope that answers your questions. Sorry if people feel offended that their questions have to be answered this way.

Malaysia Boleh!!! dan Chelsea Boleh!!!

I know it's not in my nature to blog twice in a day but this occasion really calls for it. I've just witness probably the best few hours of sports in my life for a long long time. It invovled my primary school hobby badminton and my all time favourite sport football. It produced some unexpected results...really unexpected.

1. Chelsea 3-3 Tottenham
- Chelsea at home i really didn't expect them to let in 3 goals. However they nearly lost this game if it wasn't for a moment of genius from Mourinho and a fighting display from a Chelsea team still John Terry-less. Who was sitting in the stands with ex-England skipper David Beckham. Chelsea started badly and fell 0-1 behind inside 5 mins to a Dimitar Berbatov goal. After settling the game down, Chelsea pushed hard and got an equalizer through stand-in skipper Frank Lampard. that was for 1-1. Then the sucker punch came, an Essien own goal and Hassom Ghaly's gift thanks to some confused Chelsea defending handed the visitors from north London a 1-3 lead into half time. Chelsea pushed hard in the 2nd half and with 19 mins to go they were reward with Frank Lampard getting his 2nd on the day throwing Chelsea a life-line and the Quad is still on track. With some frantic moments in the game, Carvalho picked out Drogba who headed across goal only for Kalou to half-volley the ball into the net a finish even Drogba would have been proud of. 3-3 the final score. Chelsea earn a replay and it's game on.!! Come on you BLUES!!!

2. Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong Malaysian Heroes
I didn't exactly watch this game as i was more worried about the FA cup match going on. Anyway, little i know about the build up to this game. The Malaysian pair were seeded 8th in this All England Championship and were up against the top seed from China. The pair of them have yet to lose a set in the Championship and were keen to keep their good form. A win would be a 1st in 25 years for Malaysia ending a long and unwanted drought. Well, they prevailed without dropping a set still 21-15 , 21-18...sheer Ecstasy for the Malaysian team. They have all done us proud. Malaysia Boleh!!!

P.S ..I hope to have the same fortune tomorrow

A year of hard-work , hopes and dreams unveiled tomorrow

It's the eve of probably the most exciting day for all post-SPM students...tomorrow will be results day. Though i've not seen how are things when collecting SPM results ...but let me tell you...It's gonna be massive. That's about what i can say about it. There will be people really excited to collect theirs , others rather afraid and some just couldnt be bothered that it's coming out. That's for various reasons as well

1. They already secured their place in college
2. They basically don't give a damn about their results
3. Come from Rich family - will inherit father's business anyway

That's all i can think of for now. As for myself, i'm neither here or there. People constantly ask me how do i think i would fare in my results. When asked about it , i've decided not to give an answer as that would make me a target for people to be judged.

I believe that if i give answer A people will say i lack ambition and should aim higher. Fair enough good point. I'm being negative.
However, if i give answer B people will tell me to get back down to earth, and be realistic. Which is true as well...i wouldn't want to be a mystical freak either. God works in miraculous ways very true but it's also very relevant and practical in our daily lives.

To say that i've never felt disappointed by God ..i would be lying. But the truth is , whatever that He plans always turn out for the better even when all looks bleak and hopeless. And SPM is not the end of the world. I know God stands in my corner in all my fights, sometimes He gives me a word of encouragement and assurance other times it's a knock on the head. Either way he helps me...i'll be needing alot of those tomorrow. To my other SPM graduates..good luck and God bless.

Timing moving fast but not so fast...

Yeah..it's been awhile. As you can see, currently my blog looks a whole lot different from how it looked like not too long ago. I've been fiddling with the HTML codes...and so far this is what i've been able to come up with...It isn't exactly the complete product, cause the bullets are out of place , i don't like purple , there's only my title..the description is gone....so quite a number of things went boom! and gone liao.

It's already the 5th of March 2007, and time isn't exactly stopping for me as i would like it to. Next week, would be SPM results already. Well, i've tried very hard to occupy myself with everything else apart from that. However, it just suddenly dawn upon me and has kinda moved me off my seat alittle..It's like another round of decision time is coming up and frankly speaking i really don't know what i choose to do or at least intend to do is the right thing.

This is just one of those things , that gets your brain ticking....and it goes on and on. But i won't be rushed or forced into making any decision until the right time comes. I believe that whatever i do, God will be watching over my shoulder and i know that he plans all things to turn out good...although it doesn't make sense at any point of time.
