Latest 2008 "Christmas Carol"
Dear all,
This is the year 2008's "special" Christmas song!!
**Just for the fun of the current situation the world is facing =P, enjoy!**
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town~
It's hitting you once
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town~
It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY!
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town~
Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk
So keep out for goodness sake, OH!
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!
~LuLz~
Do enjoy the coming Christmas Day! Hohoho~!

The 99 Club
Taken from a very apt article depicting the rat race that all of us are involved in our daily lives. Please read the following and if you happen to be a member of this "Elite Club", then quit it today itself and give an opportunity to happiness and peace of mind to enter your life. It's truly worth trying. =)
Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious
lifestyle, was neither happy nor content.
One day, the King came upon a servant who was singing happily while he
worked. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the
Land is unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The
King asked the servant, 'Why are you so happy?'
The man replied, 'Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies.'
The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought
the advice of his most trusted advisor.
After hearing the King's woes and the servant's' story, the advisor
said, 'Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of the 99 Club.'
'The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?' the King inquired.
The advisor replied, 'Your Majesty, to truly know what the 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this servant's doorstep.'
When the servant saw the bag, he took it into his house. Then when he opened
the bag, he let out a great shout of joy, 'So many gold coins!'.
He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced
that there were 99 coins. He wondered, 'What could've happened to that
last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!' He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.
From that day, the servant's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped singing while he worked.
Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled. When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, 'Your Majesty, the servant has now officially joined the 99 Club..'
He continued, 'The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented, because they're always yearning and striving for that extra 1 saying to themselves: 'Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.'
We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute
we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires.
That's the 99 club.

Revival Calls
It's been 3 days since my seemingly quick, 3-week holiday ended and I finally have the heart to update my blog. As I type this post, I hear some weird, creepy wailing of either a tortured animal or some crazed neighbor. And so we have the title above.. =P
I guess one of the main reasons I did not bother posting anything is because nothing much happened since my last update. Well actually there are a few, but just not enough to inspire me lol.. Now for a little flashback of what happened almost a month ago. Hm...
1st week, right after exams, I literally grew wings and fluttered with my buddies to Times Square for some fun. Unfortunately, the theme park experience was really nauseating, I am so bad in handling rides that spins you around like a top and swings your insides out. Then there was Quantum of Solace which proved rather... insignificant as I had even forgotten the plot. Huhu... Guess I compare the new Bond to Pierce Brosnan too much. (But hey, he's IS better!)
I guess there's just no competition here, tsk tsk...
So much for now, here's me signing off~

As days passed after I parted with my uni friends, I started to get real lazy at home. But with a little effort, managed to paint part of the wall outside my house. Ironically, the difficulty of this work lies not in the area I have to paint, but mostly in trying to figure out which part of the wall is already covered with a new coat because I'm painting white over a white wall! @_@
My holiday continued with me spending some quality time with my brother over a computer game which we had been playing together (once in a while) since I was 14! Well, the game's good but main reason being it's the only multiplayer game we could enjoy playing with only 1 pc.
I recommend this if you like turn based strategy games and you don't care about graphics..

Oh, but before that, I got to catch my first experience of a live drama performance at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPac). Thanks to Joshua and his friends, it was a well worth show, certainly no regrets =)
In the beginning of the month I tried looking for a job, but sadly none wanted to hire a 3 week part-timer, sigh... However before my short lived freedom ended, Loreki organised a great mini-lan party at his luxury apartment as a final treat before he flies off to Japan for his holiday. And the good news is that we would have a second one as soon as he's back on the 14th! Daym, now I'm getting anxious! Hehe...
Ah yes, I've also come to love a few more great songs.. So instead of putting the whole song here like I did previously, here's a few videos you can view. If u like them then quickly go download or you could always get them from me =D
Final Fantasy - Gotta Be Somebody (Music by Nickelback) ~ Pity no official music video
Michael Buble' - Crazy Little Thing Called Love ~ Also pity no official music video
Hinder - Without You ~ Emo song sia... But also no official mv T.T

As for this week, lectures kinda just started today and as always I have interesting classes which have lecturers that are more interesting than their lectures. lulz.. Hey, what can be cooler than a cute bear teaching politics and having learn what other wonders a super glue can do in engineering! Hahaha...
Here's some food for thought...
And I definitely can't wait till this comes to our local cinemas!
Here's some food for thought...
Science may have alleviated the miseries of disease and drudgery and provided an array of gadgetry for our entertainment and convenience, but it has left us in a world without wonder. Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations... Science proclaims that Planet Earth and its inhabitants are a meaningless speck in the grand scheme. A cosmic accident. Even the technology that promises to unite us, divides us. Each of us is now electronically connected to the globe, yet we feel utterly alone....
It shatters God's world into smaller and smaller pieces in quest of meaning... and all it finds is more questions...
Carmerlengo Carlo Ventresca
(an excerpt from Dan Brown's Angels & Demons)
