How bad can shopping with a mother be?? The answer : REAL bad!!! I mean bad as in ladies never, ever shop fast. I have made up my mind that if I would ever need to go on another shopping spree with my mother, I would have to take a good dosage of anabolic steroids or biring a wheelchair along.
We went out of our house at 10.30 am sharp. My mum had to do last minute CNY shopping and she was really in a rush. Therefore, we did not even have breakfast. We went to MidValley Megamall and had breakfast at McDonalds. Then, my hell started. First, I had to spend nearly an hour or more, just walking from one clothes shop to another. The worst part of it was that they were all ladies clothing shops. None of the shops that we visited were unisex. After an hour plus just walking aimlessly, my mum got herself only 2 pairs of dresses which I feel does not suit the CNY mood. They are more suited to be worn in an office or probably to work. After telling my mum about what I was thinking about her dresses that she had bought, she told me that she was defintely buying them for working use. She further replied, "We're going to look for something to wear on CNY dinner." I was shocked!! That would mean another hour. Therefore, I decided that I had enough. I told her that I would walk on my own while she did her own clothes-hunting. So I did just that and an hour later, she called my cellphone and told me to met her for lunch. I went down and we ate lunch, a real quick lunch before heading of to Cold Storage to get some sundries. My heart jmped for joy when she told me to pay the ticket and get to the car. I immediately went to the car, paid the ticket, and drove to the entrance to wait for her. Little did I knew that she actually wanted to got to another complex!!! MY GOD!!!
Our next stop was at 1 Utama. I'm telling you, at that kind of hour, to search for a parking itself was such a terrible ordeal. My mum got out first while I tried to look for a suitable parking. Finding none, I decided to park at somewhere illegal and guess what, my car's late number was announced half an hour later through the loudspeaker and I was told to repark my car. So I did what they told me to do and went back to look for my mum. We spent close to nearly 2 hours at 1 Utama shopping and by the time we finished, it was already close to evening. I had missed my show, and I had missed my precious afternoon nap. Furthermore, my legs were hurting really bad!! Honestly, I have never walked this long in ages and it was definitely torturing.
I was glad that finally at 6.30 pm, my mum said that we would call it a day and go home. Gosh, how I loved to hear those words and these time, I made sure that we were really going home. One advice, if guys wanna go shopping with their mums, be prepared for LONG HOURS OF WALKING!!! I'm speaking out of experience myself....lol....

I have to tell you that I have never met any Christian who could give me a better answer to my question about why he believed in God and so faithfully did His will. Don't misunderstand me I still am a Christian, but I was just asking this question just for fun. Here's the story.
Me : Why do you believe in God?? Have you seen Him?? Did He appear to you personally?? Why do you follow Him so faithfully without even knowing whether He exists??
Lecturer : Well, do you have 5 minutes?? If you have, I will explain to you why. Have a sit.
Me : Ok. Sure.
*we were in a cafe waiting for my sister and her boyfriend.
Lecturer : Waiter!! One glass of orange juice please!! (the orange juice arrives) Matthew, drink this juice.
Me : (accepts it, thanks him and drinks it without any question) So what's the answer??
Lecturer : Why did you just accept my words and drank the juice?? Why didn't you analyse the drink, verify whether it is really pure orange juice, take it to the lab for a test before drinking it? So you see, the way you trusted my words, that's how I trust in God's words though I have not seen Him nor Heard from Him audibly, but He speaks to me through the Bible and I know His will for my life.
Me : Err, because I....(no answer) Ok, now I understand. Hehe. Anyway I was just testing you only ok? No offense taken I hope??
Lecturer : (laughs) haha...No problem, I'm used to these kind of questions thrown at me. It is so simple. Haha.
Lol. I have never heard a guy explain his faith to me in such simple terms. Truly, I have a better enlightenment on how to answer others about why I believe in God and why I am a Christian.

In the world which we live in today, we definitely need a more sympathetic heart. Many are suffering and many are dying but we do not care. Are we so heartless that we are able to stare into the face of another person who is suffering and just walk away without doing anything? That would be totally inhuman.
The Palestine-Israel war has definitely caught my attention alot. It just shows us how war actually promotes death and nothing else. Look at how many innocent lives have been taken. Sniper bullet holes in a small kid's head is not an accident. If that particular child had been killed by stray bullets then it would have been a different story. But, this poor child was killed by a sniper bullet aimed at his head. How cruel can this world be?? Why of all people would the soldiers want to snipe an innocent child?? Did he kill anyone?? Is he guilty of any crimes??
I am not supporting anyone in the war. However, I cannot bear to see the millions being killed and nothing done about it. What are those so-called AID GROUPS doing? Why aren't help being sent to those who are suffering? Why is it taking so long for the UN to intervene?? These questions have been asked and yet nothing is being done. Empty promises have been made and the result of these empty promises are more deaths. Can nobody do anything at all??
Wake up, humanity! There is a real need out there and we need people who really care to do something for those who are suffering.

Though this post is kinda late, but I'm still posting it up to wish my big sister happy birthday! Yes, she is in her adulthood world already, and I'm still a little boy...*sighs* Why does time fly by so slow for me???
Great news, she would be getting married soon to her boyfriend whom they have dated for quite some time. Congrats!! The wedding would be in the month of September at Gold Coast Hotel, totally free-of-charge, because her boyfriend's uncle decided to sponsor their entire wedding. Pretty cool.... As for me, I might have a little adjusting to do as I will no longer have a bigger sister at home to protect me when I'm in trouble, no more big sis to talk to when my parents are out and definitely no one to quarrel with...haha..
Anyway, congratulations to you sis and, Happy Belated B'day!!!

I hate those freaking motorcyclists for all they are worth. Zooming in and out of highways without looking properly at other passing cars. I had a fair share of trouble with one myself today morning.
At approximately 10.00am, I decided to go out to buy some doggy food for my dog. As I was turning out of my junction, I heard a loud scraping sound behind my car. Before I could react, I heard a loud thump and my first thought was that a car had hit me. But when I looked back, I saw no car. Stepping out of my car, I saw a motorcycle on the road, the rider and his pillion, on the ground, just bruised. When he saw me he started scolding me like hell....
"lu henti macam ini saja kah??? bodoh!!" (motorcyclist)
"Awak tak tahu tengok lampu merah kah??? tengok!! *steps brake pedal* Nah boleh tengok tak?? Merah tau." (Me)
By then, a crowd of people had gathered and I called my dad back at home. He advised me to go to a police station to report everything and claim back from the two guys' insurance. Well, I proposed to go to the station and even offered to fetch them. They were reluctant and after much discussion, they gave me RM200 to repair my car and went off. Not wanting to create any problem, I just accepted it and went home.
Thank God that my car only suffered minor bruises to its paintwork and not adeep dent. BUT I STILL HATE MOTORCYCLISTS!!!!

I'm back to blogging again....time flies, and it is 2009. Happy New-Year to all of you. I've been missing lately because I've been really busy with stuffs after SPM. Those stuffs are....
1) Finding a college.
2) Following my aunt to various conferences (my aunt said it would be great experience)
3) Catching up with some overseas friend.
4) Travelling with my sister who will be going overseas soon.
There are actually lots more but I'm not gonna write them down as it would be too many. For me, 2008 was a mixture of fun, happiness and boredom altogether. But I'm hoping that 2009 will be more stable for me as I wish to have a more quiet life, not having to rush here and there, doing things.
Recap on November and December of 2008
