:pool of thoughts:

greetings from a fasting guy! heheh.. anyhoo, long story short, i found
this excerpt from julie's blog:

i've told my best friend several times about why i'm different.
i've tried to tell him about Jesus as well. but i guess i don't dare
to say anything deeper than that. i don't think i can risk our friendship.
i mean, 7 years of friendship is a super long time. and through all
those years, through my hardship, before i've become close to the people
here in melbourne, and til now... he's the only person that i can talk
about anything and everything. so of course, i don't want him to not
know about Jesus. but still, i don't have the guts to tell him to his face
that he needs Jesus. i mean, if he doesn't have a religion, it's probably
still ok. but he does. and he still respects my belief. so shouldn't i be
respecting his too? but yea, that's the reason i always use. basically,
i just don't have the guts.

anyways, i've always kept him in my prayers.. those in ignitors (and
reflectors) should know how i've been praying for him. so just keep him
in your prayers. thank you. and he's currently doing his "puasa"
(fasting period for the muslims?). so just pray that God can use those
times to actually share with him the love of Jesus!

obviously miss bugger there was talking about me, teehee.. =D

anyway, what i was gonna say is that, umm.. i'll blog about it next time!
teeeheeeeee.. =p

hey guys.. it's me again, your beloved blogger =p
i just got back from hoyts eastgardens with my mates,
watchin resident evil: apocalypse.. quite a damn good
movie, it was! especially when the nemesis was running
after alice, my adrenaline was sky high! ..well, not
really sky high, i guess.. but enough to get me one
nightmare tonight, teehee.. =)

by the way, the theatre was so filled with friggin indos
it scares the hell out of me! it was like this massive
mob meeting! anywhere you turn your head, indos, indos,
more indos! *shiver*

i hate aussie-dwelling indos.. heheh.. am i not one meself??

bbL~

hey guys.. how's it been? i've been busy here meself..
anyhoo, i was just gonna post a totEm =)

totEm: my conscious has just taught me something, something
very precious.. you know how sometimes you think of doing
something, but end up not doing it at all?

i do that all the time, especially when it comes to blogging..
i'd think "oh, this is such a cool thing to blog about", but then
"aww, i don't have the time / mood for that.." and end up
not blogging at all. that's almost always why i never update
my blog..

anyway, the thing that i've learned is that, if you
ever think of doing something, take some time out of your
life right at that moment, and do it. give it a go. =)
this is why i'm blogging right now, and vacuuming at 1 am too,
cuz i just feel like doing 'em! ain't that sweet..? =)

i've just watched australian idol and now i feel like
reviewing the show.. heheh.. so here goes:

tonight was pop night. most of them were all right..
but i could see a pattern there: most of them sounded
too much like the original singer, which is not good
if you wanna be a good singer.. you've gotta be original!
heheh.. and suddenly im the expert in these kinda things..

anyways, enter chanel cole. beautiful. beautiful.
unbelievably original. unlike most of the others who simply
imitated the original singers, she showed her own thing,
her own style, and that's why she should win! ;)
another thing i like about chanel is that she prefers
diminished chords, just like i do.. heheh.. gotta love her!
*self-confessed chanel freaky fan* btw, i voted for her twice
tonight.. o_0 heheh..

apart from the obviously amazing and original and cool and
creative and talented chanel (;p), there were also 2 other
people that i think will succeed as far as this competition goes;
they are ricki-lee and anthony. i reckon they will do so cuz
they got the looks and the voice, hence the fans.. but i still
reckon chanel will win! or should win, at least.. i wonder when
i'd be writing complaints about how chanel should've won and not
yada-yada.. ugh.. =p


chanel: the goddess of diminished chords =)


anthony: short guy, okays looking, better than the other ones =p
[well maybe not better than courtney, but i dun like him >.<]


ricki-lee: very cute and commercial, and sorta talented too.. =p

i'm so crappy when it comes to sundays.. procrastination at its best!!

bbL~

one of my favourite movies of all time.. i think
i'm gonna get the dvd today ;) ah.. what a lazy
sunday afternoon..

corner of sussex and druitt
okay, so earlier tonight i went out to grab something to eat..
just when i was walking down the street, a guy was arrested by
a couple of coppers. he was dragged across the street with his
pants down.. and he was struggling and fighting all along..
freak.. too bad i didn't take a picture of that scene! =)

corner of george and bathurst
anyways, when i was walking back from the food court, an ambulance
stopped right beside me! it was in front of kfc, and some paramedics
rushed in with all their tools and stuff.. there must've been an
accident of some sort cuz i saw them kneeling in the middle of the
stairs doing stuff.. this time i took a picture with my mobile! =)



very, very, very weird day indeed..


me + bored = ice cream..

most of you will have heard of the suicide bombing that happened a good
couple of days ago [thursday, 09 sept 2004]. the bomb exploded in front
of the australian embassy in jakarta, indonesia, and many people were
either killed or fatally wounded.

totEm: as always, blames have been put on the jemaah islamiyah shitheads.
now, being a moslem myself, i feel so frustrated and enraged by this
pseudo-islamic terrorist organisation, one of many i assume.. i mean,
they do these things and claim them a crusade in the name of Islam..
fuckin' shitheads! killing innocents isn't battling to defend Islam, it's
just pure idiocy and brutality! i'm so speechless right now, words just
can't describe my feelings..

oh, while we're on the subject, today is the 3rd anniversary of the WTC
tragedy..

bbL~

today was fun! heheh.. if you can consider a group meeting fun!
but yea, i reckon it was quite fun.. kinda exhausting but fun
nonetheless.. basically, i had a group meeting with me mates for
this course called food choice. we started like sometime before
noon, and finished around 7:30 if im not mistaken!! almost everyone
in our group had mixed kebab, which was really cool.. heheh..
also, there were helium balloons around where we hung out, so naturally,
we tried making funny voices! sylvia and jesslyn got so addicted it
was hilarious!! =p by the way, the group consists of anita, edwin, me,
sylvi, jess, and erlin! one crazy ass-kickin' group! heheh..
when we ran out of balloons in that place, sylvi and me stole some
more from the union store nearby, teehee.. =D it was a craic!!
oh and when almost everyone had gone home, sylvi and me got so bored
and frustrated with working with numbers that we went to the arcade
and played puzzle bubble and time crisis! jess was nearby, busy
gossipping with her perthian mate on her mobile.. oh yeah, we almost
went to see the village, but decided to do some other useful stuff,
i.e. jess went with her parents to makoto, a sushi train-like restaurant
[see totEm below], i went to the gym, and sylvi.. who knows what she
did.. =p

all in all, i reckon today was heaps fun! heheh.. tomorrow's gonna be
hell though! micro quiz and the group meeting continues!

totEm: it's so hateful in places like sushi train, where you have
to sit in front of the moving plates, if some stranger beside
you gets to the plate you've been waiting for first.. hateful!!
that happened to me tonight.. heheh.. twice! o_O

busy busy busy..

bbL~

i'm just really homesick right now.. can't stand all the uni
shitties i still have to go through. i'm so exhausted..
but yea anyway, just to recap some of the interesting stuff
that happened these last few days:

>< friday i went to asink-kamili's house and played CSI: the
board game, fUn!! heheh.. and then later in the evening i
bought westlife's song online, this live version of flying
without wings.. very nice ne! and it was only for £0.99.. =)

>< saturday was biochem day.. or so i thought. well yea it was!
heheh.. what am i trying to say?? anyhoo.. alvin came to city
@ noon. we went to bestway travel cuz i gotta book my flight home
for december.. can't wait!! =o later we studied a bit of biochem
@ my place. then i had to go to helen's church's birthday thing.
there was a play and stuff.. uh oh this one's interesting! when
i was getting home from that place, it was raining ice! heheh..
hail or whatever u call it.. =p but yea, it was actually my first
time experiencing such a thing. very, very interesting indeed..
oh and then later sylvia, jesslyn, and erlin came to study more
biochem.. jesslyn stayed over.

>< sunday's today.. crap, it's sunday already?? *sigh*

if they say revenge is a dish best served cold, then
i guess blogging is a dish best served pipin' hot!
well.. yea, and so are most of the meals around the world..

anyways, i was in my bed just now, getting ready to
sleep, when my mum suddenly called. it went something
like this:

mum: where are you?
ryan: home..
[conversation went on about some stupid email..]
ryan: i sent it this afternoon
mum: where from? uni?
ryan: no, friend's house. anyway, he was supposed to yada-yada-yada..
mum: so where are you now? home or friend's house?
ryan: [peeved]

my point is, i really hate it when people accuse me of doing
something i didn't do, even though i usually do it all the
time. even worse, i hate it not only when people accuse me,
but even if they are only hinting at accusing me. like
tonight's case. she totally ruined my mood and the whole
conversation went just a little bit further and then it ended.
she didn't know i was peeved though. not until i sms-ed her
and complained. point not so well taken. we sorta
argued although not orally. [my favourite type of argument btw] =)

but yea anyway, i told her i didn't like her tone when she
re-asked that question, as if she was accusing me of staying
at my friend's. she said if i didn't want her to ask me where
i was anymore, that's fine. oh, the sarcasm in that sentence!!
i argued that it wasn't that i didn't like her asking stuff,
it was the tone that i didn't quite agree. i told her i couldn't
just shut up if i felt accused, that i should speak up, which
was why i asked her why she had to ask that question again.

and now she's making me feel bad cuz she says she did
that only cuz she was worried of her kids, how she always
prays for our safety, etc.. sigh.. parents! never fail
to make you feel bad, man..

anyways i know she meant good.. i'm just saying that i'm
kinda piqued by the accusations.. it's probably just me
who's just too sensitive, but it's me. live with it.

and so here i am, blogging about it, wondering if i'll ever
turn out to be a parent who's just like her. by that time,
it'll be funny to go back to this pool of thoughts and read
this post.. heheh.. =)
