An Angel in Disguise

Guess what, I think I've seen an angel in disguise.

I was in the library yesterday afternoon, mulling and lamenting on my thesis as it seemed to be unending. I was still struggling to finish it yesterday, when it's due on Monday.

To be frank, my thesis was almost on the verge of finishing. But I was in no mood in doing it at all. Again, I have to stress that my passion is not in engineering. So literally, I had no interests and not even the slightest concerns on the thesis. All I was thinking was for it to be over.

Suddenly, in the midst of my lamentation, I received a message on Facebook:

"Dude I just saw your post on Charlene’s status “Finally someone post this... I hate those bastards” absolutely hilarious. Now so then I clicked onto your blog and saw your posts about thesis so I thought I might send you a message. I have no idea why you’re worried, like you’re pretty much finished compared to where I was at this stage in the game.

Do you want to know my story? This time last year I started writing my thesis on the day it was due. I mean starting the writing part from scratch, zero words down. Two days later decided I should “ask” my supervisor for an extension. So it was due Monday, asked for an extension on Wednesday and got an extension till Friday. And you know what I tied for the best enviro thesis prize with one of my friends. I mean fuck I just wanted to pass….

If anything, just don’t give up hope dude. The trick is just persevere until you finish your undergrad degree and then go pursue your dreams. Like you know what I have no plans at all of ever doing engineering. "

After reading the message, I was on fire. There was this strapping determination and motivation within my heart to finish my thesis. And believe it or not, I actually finished it that day.

Hooraayy!! No more thesis!

Anyway, now comes an intriguing question, who is this guy?

According to Facebook, his name was "Phil Jolly". Again, I asked, who was he? I have never made any contacts or whatsoever with him during my 2 years in Australia.

So how can I classify him other than saying that he's in fact an angel in disguise?

The marvellous wonder of God is breathtaking. But I was just reminded again that God works in ways we cannot see. Thus, it make us believe that His works are just breathtaking.

But apart from cleared thesis, I still have a project and a take-home exam to finish. Sometimes I wish I can go out into the wild, and carve my feelings on a ruptured rock, where everybody gets to take a look of it.

Thanks Angel.. or should I say Phil?

Direct Message - from Ps Joseph Prince

oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!

Ps Joseph Prince sent me a direct message on twitter:

"Hi, thx for allowing me 2 b part of ur world & 2 be able 2 spk int2 ur life! Remember, u are Destined To Reign! B abundantly blessed!"

And then, he followed my twitter account...

I literally have nothing on twitter; I only have 7 people following me... and he's the 7th person to do that...

Wow...

Did anyone receive a direct message from him once u follow him on twitter?

Thesis Agony

So far, I've written 14363 word on my thesis and it's 60 pages long.

But it's not done yet. There are still too many things to be included in the thesis.

Apparently, the maximum page for an undergraduate thesis is about 80 pages long. So I still have another 20 plus more pages to go.

Currently, I'm a little bit bewildered by this thesis problems; particularly, in the results section. Due to that, I have been procrastinating a little bit during the past few days.

Another thing is the passion. Man oh man, it's tough to do something that you have no passion in. It's like forcing you to eat something that you hate.

I hate it when I spent like 9 hours on campus, and only managed to write 500 words. What a total waste of time isn't it?

Only 10 days left to the due date. And within the 10 days, there are a couple of tests, and assignment to be done.

So tell me, how to finish a thesis in 10 days?

Erotic Bible Verses

Guess what, I found a chapter from the old testament that I thought was a little bit "Naughty" ... or erotic...

This is not from "Songs of Songs", but from Ezekiel 23:1-21 ..

To me, this chapter talks about women who are sexually active...

haha.. I loved it though..

My Future Wife (Updated)

I posted this in Aug 13th 2010:

1) Romantic (because I'm romantic too)

2) Not Demanding

3) Very Sensitive and Emotional

4) Everything lower than me - or at least the same (height, age, weight, etc.)

5) Open Hearted (not a boring person please...)

6) Wonderful lady-like hands (slim and pointy)

7) Reasonable boobs size ('C' cup is the best!)"

So here's the updated version:

1. Romantic (because I'm romantic too)
2. Open Hearted (not a boring person pleaseee..)
3. Very Sensitive and Emotional
4. Be able to speak in a British Accent or a Javanese Accent
5. Everything lower than me - or at least the same (height, age, weight, etc...)
6. Wonderful lady-like hands (slim and pointy)
7. Reasonable boobs size ('C' cup is the best!)

Very cool list indeed...

British Accents

I love the british accent! I can listen to it forever, without complaining.

This is weird, but I can't help it..

I thought it would be lovely if my wife is british; because when she speaks, or shares with me something, I would listen to her with full understanding and compassion.

Doesn't matter how long she speaks, as long as it's the british accent that she's speaking, I won't complain.

Btw, I thought that Carey Mulligan is pretty... :)

And next after the british accent, I love the Javanese accent...

"Rai Mu!"

hahaha

Jealousy

I've got this ridiculous jealousy over the past couple of months. It's about film directors; especially the young and independent film directors.

So whenever I visit channelnewsasia.com (http://www.channelnewsasia.com/) and read under the entertainment field for instance, very often I'll find news headlines such as: "Paranormal Activity to Hit the Big Screen", or "A New Director is Born" or "Tsai Ming Liang Named Asia's Filmmaker of the Year"...

It's because of these headlines that made me jealous. Why? Because I should be the one making headlines. But why am I not in it?

I know this is dumb and unreasonable, but I am practically jealous and, also a little bit hurt whenever a new director is born, and it is not me.

Currently, I'm stuck in this stupid engineering realm and madness. Due to that, I can't make films until I'm done with it.

Sometimes I got frustrated at why am I doing something that I have no passion in. I really hope that all this bachelor degree stuffs can be over soon.

My dream is to win the academy-award for best director before I hit 30. I know there are a lot to be done, and I won't stop until I achieve it. It's just around the corner....

I'm pursuing my dream.

Stressed

At the moment now, I'm feeling so stressed.

There are myriad of reasons here. But mainly, it's the uni stuffs that made me want to cry. :(

1) My thesis - due on the 1st of Nov
2) My 3 assignments - due on the 11th oct, 29th oct, 6th nov
3) My 3 in-class tests - on the 11th oct, 25th oct, 25th oct

Look at the list... Should I be worried or stressed or cry over this?

Oh God, how to go through all these?

My daily live now is filled with worriness due to deadlines.

I've got no comfort, no motivation, and no passion in doing any of these shits.

I thought of quitting uni, but because I've come so far... in fact, too far, it will be a massive waste if I quit at this moment.

It's just another month... I've got to hold on.

No girlfriend to share my burdens, no bestfriends to share my troubles, and no one cares, literally.

But my Lord is still with me. That I know.

He told me that I'm more than a winner. Not just any winner, but a true conquerer over myself.

My strength came from the Lord most of the time. It's because of Him I'm alive and simply breathtaking.

I thanked him for the dream he gave me almost everyday, and he told me to fight for it, and pursue it with a passion that never fades.

Somewhere along my life, I found out that a winner is someone who crosses the finishing line. He may comes in last, but as long as he crosses the finishing line, he's worthy to be called a winner.

So I should not be stressed right?

What a stupid post I just wrote here... hahaha

Sajna (My Dear)

"When you smile, I smile with you
When you cry, I feel it too
Hear my soul,
My heart calling out to you

Be my eyes when I can't see
Be my voice when I can't speak
Be my light when Darkness creeps on me

Oh sajna, sajna, sajna re...

To the star that shines so bright
Across the sky across the night
Making ways to be right by your side

Hold me close don't let me go
Hold me tight don't you say no
Save the love we have for evermore

Oh sajna, sajna, sajna re...

Save me, when my dream catches fire
Save me, be my only desire
Wake me, when the pain is over
Take me now..."

Thank you Lord for giving this dream, it's my job to pursue it.

Amen!

Happy birthday Diana!

I want to take a moment here talking about my childhood friend.

Basically, today’s her birthday, and she just turned 22 this year.

So for that reason, happy birthday Diana!

Do you remember the first time we met?

Well I don’t actually, but you told me about it; and you said I gave you the cold feet… and that made you angry…

Haha… I was only 14.. or maybe 15.. Very young, naïve and cute.. :)

So I was a little nervous of course, when meeting such a beautiful lady like you.

But eventually, we became friends, and then I wanted for us to be more than friends. But you rejected the idea of it; and that made me very upset. So upset I that I didn’t want to talk to you anymore.

However, you came and added me on Facebook somewhere in March or April this year, and I was so glad you did that.

We’ve been talking again ever since, although we haven’t meet at all this year. But just hearing your voice brought wonderful memories and possibilities that I had for you before.

I just want to let you know that there was some very brief moment back then, when I looked at your eyes and you looked back into mine.

You know, when that happened, I felt that something is not right with me, because I felt tougher and at the same time, pathetic. Tougher because I was excited to see you, and pathetic because I knew I couldn’t get you.

The truth is I don’t know what to say when I saw you. My mind went so bloodily blank, that I couldn’t even think about what I want to eat for lunch...

But now, I have so many things that I want to tell you, and I felt that you attracted me the most. I don't know why, somehow, you're very special. You made me smile, and made me very blissful. :)

So please keep answering all my phone calls; because I can't meet you yet...

But just as Aerosmith sung it in their song:

"Every moment spent with you, is a moment I treasure"

And it's true that I treasured every phone calls that I made for you, and hopefully, you'll do the same..

Happy birthday once again, "I miss you babe, and I don't want to miss a thing"
