Day 472 of the apocalypse: 

I'm still alive, but sadly I cannot say the same for my fellow fallen comrades, of those who are slowly perishing day by day, with everyone else succumbing to hunger. I, the sole survival and last of the guardians, will stand to the very end safeguarding the survival of the nation's priceless royal icecream cake...

lol no.

Hey guys. I guess its been a while, and I can clearly see that it has been almost 3 years since I last written up in this blog. Yeah, my apologies. I did intend to leave my blogging to rot into non-existance for all I cared. I was bad at writing, yes, that I noticed. Have you ever found an essay you wrote about few years back when you were in primary school, and just sit to yourself thinking: "Dafuq was in my mind when I wrote this?" Yeah. Nostalgia with a tinge of humiliation.

And so begins the new year of 2013. Of course we survived the 2012 apocalypse. It was a miracle, as looking upon the fissures of the earth, and the spirits of fire showering meteors upon the overworld, I believed it as the last sight my eyes will set upon - I closed my eyes. As I reopened my eyes, I faced the most horrifying scene yet...

Moving on, the 2012 apocalypse movie has now been rated Comedy as the 21st of December 2012 went by like nothing, except for the massive spam of Facebook posts regarding 2012 apocalypse, and of course - the 1 billionth hit of the top grossing MV "Gangnam Style", otherwise it was just another swift bright sunny day. It did pour a little in the evening though. So congratulations to those who were hiding underground and in bomb shelters, you live another day to look like an idiot. :3

And in this bright new year I stepped forth into Form 4, where everyone 3 months ago was in a state of depression and having emotional and dramatic moments of having to part with one another at the end of Form 3. I actually regret having not been able to live my Form 3 life to the fullest when it was still about a year of joy and taking things slow. Of course, time does not stop for you, and so moving onto Form 4, which is said to be "honeymoon year". I beg to differ. I have seen and experienced firsteyehand how difficult Form 4 is, and believe me when I state that Form 4 is not honeymoon year. In fact, it is quite the opposite of the supposed honeymoon year. Form 4 itself is a year of hardship and a year of adaptation. It is the stepping stones of preparation into the Form 5 year. In addition, having joined the Leo Club of my school has already put another stack of weights onto my shoulders as the number of duties and work in the Leo Club is on a par with the Form 4 pure science stream subjects, which includes but not limited to - Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Additional Mathematics, which in total is - too damn high. I am not proud to say that I am already struggling with the first few hours of Physics. I love the Leo Club, don't get me wrong. Through the Leo Club community I got to establish new ties, which I surprisingly did with many of the schools from the Subang society. I rarely got to know people who live anywhere close me as all friends I have are scattered everywhere. But the workload that the Leo Club puts on you is honestly uncomfortable and really pushes you to your limits. My perspective of this will change through the year anyhow. This, however, is only the beginning, as it is unconfirmed whether I may or may not be selected as a probationary prefect / member of the environment / eco club which may need me to shoulder extra loads in my Form 4 year, and so an unpredictable year this will be. My mental capacity can only hold so much, and I can't say for sure how far it will bring me. I can only pray for the best and hope for the rest.

Ranting more about this year, students of WMS should probably take a look at their diary calendar and note that the time meant for preparation of the school concert, sports day etc. have been not only shortened down drastically, but also moved to much earlier times than what it normally would be. (*Slight note: This year will be the first time I will not celebrate my Birthday on a holiday, but instead the start of our first term examinations. Boohoo.) Not to mention that after my first year in this school as Form 1, the school events have dropped dramatically with the removal of fun occasions such as the U.N. Day (This is when classes are each given a country to represent through the setting of games, food sales and activities, and students will have to dress themselves in a certain country's traditional costume or outfit. This event takes place throughout the entire school and you can see the many different countries/cultures/civilizations through the eyes of another.) and the Evolution Night (A night when clubs and societies each proudly represents their own group in a series of events/activities such as a sketch performance from the Lidra Club, a musical from the Choir, F&B from the domestic science club, mini Counter Strike tournaments from the Computer Club ,and so on and so forth.). I am grateful that I have been able to experience the last of these astounding outside-of-classroom learning experiences while it lasted, but something tells me that the removal of these events will not cease here to be replaced with more academic-based learning periods. Being in Form 4 will also deprive us of our year-end educational trips/class trips planned to draw the curtains on a good year with good friends, and all of that, we have to undoubtedly leave behind to face what's coming at us.

Aaaaanndd... There's my stop.
Gotta go back to creating cheesy messages for fortune cookies.
ERROR 404: Fortune not found.

A repeated quote I've heard over the years: It was never about the destination. It is about the journey. There are many possible routes to take in order to end up at the same destination, but the path you choose is crucial in this life we live in, in order to arrive at our destination with character, righteousness and dignity. This is a race we are all born to run, but we must run in a manner in which we will win, and therefore run like a winner. I probably didn't make sense right there.

I'm back, with a whole new world

I'm finally back from the camp, as in LifeGame™. And I just realised that how much it has changed me in just 3 days.

What did I achieve?

1. I found my purpose in life that God has laid down for me.
   
2. God has answered my questions in life that confused me and led me away from him.
   
3. I found out my expected position in life.
   

Life is all about making choices, agree? Choices will define our lives in the future, and will decide our consequences/success. In school I see this message written:
"My basic principle of life is that we make choices not because they are easy to make, but right to make."

I was puzzled about this question for a long time:
If people say that we make our own choices, what was it with God having a destiny for us? Which shall I follow and believe?

The answer came to me in the camp:
God is giving us, the chance, to follow his destiny for us. He doesn't force us to follow destiny. However, destiny will come upon the choice you make, if you let him use you as a miracle.

The LifeImpact Ministries was a good example of a miracle. The organiser said that this has impacted the lives of 14 thousand people altogether. And it started off with just

1
person.

Now I realise how important the number 1 is. From 1 person spreading the word to another 1, will make 2. And that 2 spreading to other ones, and just keeps continue spreading. Until the day they can reach the 2 billion people unreached of God's saving.

Life is compared to a race. A race that God wants us to win. And we must run it in a way that we would not sidetrack and get yourself out of the race. The prize will always go to the winner that crosses the finish line. We must also run in a way that we will win. We cannot turn back from the race once you have started, and the shocking news is that the moment you were born, you have

STARTED THE RACE

Trailer 2


The Dark Lord. It's an unfortunate name, for it brings up images of evil and fear. Yet the one who bears that title does so not because he is evil, but because he spends so much time in the dark, battling against the things that would bring Maple World down. It's a high and lonely destiny, one borne well by all those who have carried the title.

The former Dark Lord was a great man who spent his life fighting against the forces of darkness. As all Dark Lords must, he had carefully groomed possible successors. His two greatest students were a young man named Jin and his own daughter, who is known to us now only as 'Lady Syl.' Both were excellent students, people of great strength and moral character and he cherished and loved both of them. In turn, Lady Syl and Jin revered their teacher and developed a great affection for each other. Times were happy as they all trained and worked together.

The trouble began with an urgent request from Tristan, the Dark Lord's friend. It seemed that Balrog had been resurrected and was destroying Victoria Island. The Dark Lord immediately headed out to help but when he arrived in Sleepywood, his friend Tristan was nowhere to be found. He eventually tracked down Balrog and faced him in mortal combat. Alas, Balrog is a foe not so easily beaten for his evil is not merely physical, but spiritual as well. The Dark Lord lost his focus for a split second and allowed Balrog's evil to slip past his shields -- and he lost his soul. The Dark Lord had become one of the very monsters he had spent his life defeating and began attacking Kerning City.Jin, who had followed his master against his wishes, witnessed everything. In despair and agony, he tried to appeal to the thing that was his former master, trying to get it to remember the man of virtue and honor he once was. Alas, it was no use! Jin knew what he would have to do, what his true master would have wanted and he defeated the monster that wore his master's beloved face. Tears stinging his eyes, Jin carried the body back home to bury him in honor and succeed him as Dark Lord.

As it happened, Balrog claimed two victims that day. Lady Syl, her mind and soul shattered by the loss of her beloved father, blamed Jin for not protecting him. In time she came to believe that Jin had even engineered her father's death in order to take his position as Dark Lord. Nothing Jin could say or do could convince her that she was mistaken, that he would have given anything to save her father's life and that he never wanted to become Dark Lord in this way. It did not work. Lady Syl's heart grew cold and bitter, hating the man she had loved with a cold fury that was like a wall of ice between them.

The last time they saw one another, Jin made one last entreaty to Lady Syl, begging her to remember her father's honor and greatness and the love they had once shared. Lady Syl merely promised him that when the end came, his death would rival her father's in pain and anguish.Now there is a secret war raging in the heart of Kerning City. Lady Syl and her Dual Blades continue her struggle against the Dark Lord from an unknown location simply known as the 'Secret Garden.' Her new organization is growing in strength and more and more skillful Rogues are disappearing. The Dark Lord knows that Lady Syl is getting ready to make her move, though he does not yet know what that move will be.

Meanwhile, a man named Ryden in a back alley of Kerning City begins talking to travelers here and there, making an interesting offer.

At the Secret Garden, Lady Syl takes care of her plants, gathers her forces and nurses her ever-growing rage and bitterness towards the Dark Lord.

Yet in the silence of her empty heart, a tiny ember of something she'd long thought extinguished remains. Whether it can burst into flame before she and the Dark Lord destroy one another, no one knows.

Trailer 2


In the final days of Kounat's existence, numerous portals appeared around the kingdom, gateways leading to another dimension where belligerent demons lived.
A faction of the demons desired to destroy Kounat and waged war against the suffering kingdom. However, an opposing faction of demons denounced the wanton violence and waged war against those demons that would destroy Kounat. Dio was a member of this faction.

When the war ended, the demons returned to their dimension and the portals were sealed.
One day, Dio realized there was a weakening of the magic sealing off one of the portals and decided to go and investigate. This decision set him on the road to one day meeting the knights of the Grand Chase.

Seems like this bloggy has been dead for quite a while.. let me freshen it up with a nice joke. :)

A company, feeling it was time for a shake-up, hires a new CEO. This new boss is determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO notices a guy leaning on a wall. The room is full of workers and he wants to let them know he means business!

The CEO walks up to the guy and asks, "And how much money do you make a week?"

A little surprised, the young fellow looks at him and replies, "I make $300.00 a week. Why?"

The CEO then hands the guy $1,200 in cash and screams, "Here's four weeks pay, now GET OUT and don't come back!"

Feeling pretty good about his first firing, the CEO looks around the room and asks, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-off did here?"

With a sheepish grin, one of the other workers mutters, "Just some guy delivering the Chinese food we ordered."

Nonsense

This.. is.. life. We win some, we lose some. We get out, we get in. Suffering is just one of the many things we humans go through in life.

Phew.. I can't actually believe I survived in the Youth Leadership Program(YLP) . Ever since the first day, My brother and I have been strongly disagreeing to go for this program. But I knew we stand no chance. I have been a speaker for quite a while in my school class, but this is different. This was delivering speeches in English. But for me who suited in a Mandarin school, and used to speaking in Mandarin, it will be quite a while before I get back my place as an English speaker again. At least throughout the 3 days I managed to learn the basic elements of Public Squeeking.. er.. I meant Speaking. And.. onoz I was one of the youngest there. :O. That didn't sound good, as I don't have many friends who are older than me, but I managed. o.o Now I can add more friends to my facebook Friend List :O

However, it didn't really matter since it's all over. Let me relate some of the stories on those 3 days. =X

On the first day, we were asked to make an introduction of ourselves to our neighbor. And so it was that my neighbor that day was the one and only Jack Sparrow, pirate of the Seven Seas. It was then I made my first speech of the day, and it was in English. So the only similarities I can find in him is that we both like Black.. and we both like to play the famous Real-time Strategy game DotA. I could tell that it was quite a disaster. Slowly but surely, I can feel my English speaking skills are improving, like a tortoise. Then whatever I wished for went quite the opposite. Instead of listening to more introduction of speaking, all participants had to speak again. Yes it was an ice breaker session. What a way to break the ice. I didn't give out most of my personal data and inner-secrets though. ;)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!@%^@#%@^

Once the first day was over, my brother rushed to the computer before I did, so I had no other choice than to prepare my assignment for the following day.

On Year 2009 12th of December (Saturday) man that was unnecessary =.=".. as I was saying.. My brother and I walked to Summit and so on and so on.. I really lmao-ed on Chris' invocation, a joke on three hikers granted a wish each as the third hiker yelled "Shit!" and made his wish.. Even as he didn't finish the joke, all of us could already predict the ending. It was too obvious. And I thought it could be a better day than the day before, but to start the day off, I was the first to deliver my speech. Thank God I had time to prepare. It was a speech entitled: Getting rich quickly, although my evaluator got my title quite wrong.. it doesn't matter, though. It was delivered and done.

On the final day, the day of the competition, days of all days, day when this will all end,...............
just when things could get worse, I was picked fifth in line for the competition. OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU COULD CHOOSE@!#$%^&^%$#@ who cares :O. It has been decided. For warm-up session, I just got myself a cup of coffee.. that would do very nicely. As for the speech, I used an old title which I failed to speak of before.. yes it's technology. I got tortured by my brother on table topics.. for that. It's already very obvious indeed that I wasn't qualified for a prize yet. There are many and maaaaannnyyyy who are better than me by a hundred times.. for example huh.. Hann Lam.. my bradder.. Chris.. and many more. These people make me look like nothing. :O

No seriously..I'm quite glad to have the opportunity of joining this program.. the experience of public speaking.. experience of getting to know more friends.. as I said in my speech.. computer games may have a possible social effect on areas such as academic performance.. so I don't really socialize with others much.. ESPECIALLY those older than me..

Nuff said,
Seth

Dang.. bitten by facebook bug. I left this here blog dead for who knows how long.. and thanks to GrandChase USA.. its gotten worse. I found blogging a very boring thing to do. Its like a diary to share with others.. just that I never liked writing diaries. Somehow I don't think I will be updating this blog unless I really got something to share. Adious.
