Hey peepol...

I'm clearing up my room in anticipation of moving out next year... ya.. I gotta start now or else I won't have enough to time to sort out what I need / need to throw by January.

So far, I've donated some stuff to some pretty nice ppl who deserved it. Up for grabs now is

1) 1 Midi cable. One that connects to the joystick / midi port on a sound card. It extends out to 2 midi ports, one in one out. I couldn't get them to work on my PC so I bought a USB midi port instead. So this one is to be given to anyone that is interested and wants to see if it works on your PC. If it doesn't, CHUCK IT AWAY.. don't give it back to me mannnn... PLEASE LEMME KNOW ASAP. Gonna be in the bin in 7 days' time.

2) 1 wastebin. Fairly ok sized. Plastic one. Clean or not? Well, it's ok the last I saw it, you can clean it up if you want. Clorox it. Dry cleaners. Whatever. If nobody claims it, well, the bin won't go to the bin. It will remain under my custody until I move to a new place. See if the new place needs a bin.

3) 1 5 port 10 baseT hub. It's a hub. Not a switch. It's pretty old but I think still works. Good brand tho. SMC. Got another Intel one. But don't think it works, you can have both if you want. If nobody wants it, I'll force someone to take it one day. Too valuable to bin someone that still works ok. You know, like if you wanna share just the internet connection with whoever.

4) 1 Krumpler sticker. You know, like the stickers you stick on things to advertise for brands you support. Green color round one.

5) 2 parallel printer cables. Yup, to connect your ol trusty pinwriter to your brand new PC with a parallel port.

6) 1 Nautica jacket. This one is not really up for grabs. It's just that CBC left his jacket at my place and I don't think he realises it. I'm waiting for him to come collect the jacket and I'll like "OH.. btw.. your bass amp is here.. you wanna carry back?".. Then he'll hafta carry that BIG square hunk of watever back. If not I'm gonna volunteer Eddie to carry it back to unit 34. Thanks Eddie, if you don't wanna do it, please ask CBC to come collect his jacket.

Ok, that's it for now.

Will have more things to give away.

Watched Melbourne Victory THUMP Sydney FC 5-0!

It was sweet.. my first football match in Melbourne at a sellout 18206 crowd was indeed a good one. For more news read the match summary and report @ this page.

The place where we stood was the perfect spot to catch the four 2nd half goals. The players celebrating facing us everytime they scored, so it's quite cool! HAHAHA...

That really reminded me of my first football match in Penang, a highschool kid that watched a Merzagua charged Penang team thump Kelantan 4-2 to make the cut for the M-League (playoffs). I think it was great for those I brought that have never been to a live match before. To see a team they support win with great football action. Makes you wanna come back for more the next time, doesn't matter if Melbourne wins, loses or draws. If your team lost big time on your first visit you'd think live matches SUCK and won't watch it anymore.

The fans will always be the fans. Same verbal abuse. The ang mors were more verbal in supporting their team, with occasional crowd cheers and "**** off SYDNEY!" taunts (quoting Tee on this one).

With Malaysian matches you get this,...

"JAGA JAGA MAN ON!!!"... = Opponents are coming for your player's ball(s), and you have to warn him about it... as if your lone voice will be heard in the midst of 12000 spectators talking about how fresh the kacang putih is and how expensive the ramly burgers are at RM2.

"SIT DOWN ANJING!" ... = Coach of other team stood up to shout his players some instructions or argue with the ref. When the coach finished what he wanted to do and returned to the bench, it's followed by a "GOOD DOG!". Oh wow, it's as if he did exactly like you asked him to.

"BALIKLAH SELANGOR!! PI MAMPUI!"... = Expecting the Selangor team to abandon the match and commit mass suicide.

"BAGI DIA KAD LA!!"... = Your player fouled the opponent. The opponent should be yellow / red carded for making your player foul him.

"PI PU PI PUUUUU"... = Oh no, someone on the field needs a stretcher.

"ITU DIA, OSCAR WINNER LA BEST ACTOR!!"... = The opponent is down on the pitch, you can see a bit of his open wound and semi-white shin bones. Blood is gushing out visibly. He's crying out in pain. He needs proper medical attention or at least PIPUPIPU. 12000 paying fans think he's faking it. Wrong sport. That's WWE.

"TEMBAK BULAN KE?"... = Asking the player if he always wanted to be an astronaut and fly to the moon, cos the ball that he just kicked certainly did.

"PRESSURE PRESSURE!!"... = Some fans think players should rush for every ball possession the opponents has, to make it look like a kampung kids' game - THE way the game should be played.

"REFEREE KAYU!"... = When the referee is like a stick, and is a smelly boy.

"LINESMAN BUTA!!"... = FAM employed some blindmen as linesmen due to tight budget.

"OI MAKAN DUIT AR? MINUM KOPI KAU KAU AR?"... = Asking the ref or linesmen impolitely if they did something about the tight budget, and expecting those fellas to confess in front of 12000 paying fans.

"GOL!"... = Goal.

"...BOOO..." = Opponent scored a goal.

Hope those that went today enjoyed the match ya!
Those that couldn't get tix, sorry ya.. get your tix early next time!
Those that couldn't make it, you've gotta re-evaluate your priorities la k.

I watched Cinderella Man. A pretty good movie. One of the best I've seen in recent hours. A courageous man, they call him - they being the boxers that fought him. What was apparent was how he fought for his family, for survival, for what he believed in.

As I was watching the movie all I could think about was a man, a God I dearly love. He came, He lived, He gave, He healed, He comforted the weeping, He bled from the whip, He fought the walk up the hill, He lifted the cross, He was lifted up on the cross. If there was a person that gave me hope, it's Jesus. I don't have to fight anymore, He's done all the fighting for me.

Sometimes we go through tough patches in life, heartaches, financial difficulties, betrayal, a love that is not returned, hurts caused by the sins of others, and we wonder why God allowed it to happen to us. Yes, God came to give us life, and life abundantly. If that is all I believe God wants to do for me, then He is merely the billionaire that gave me a million dollars when I was jobless and asked me to get on with life.

What I find moving about my God is that every time I go thru a heartache, His heart aches with me. Every time I cry, He cries alongside me as though He's the one hurting. Every time I worry, He says "I understand" and holds my hand. When I dig into my pockets and find no money to pay the bills, I remember Him coming to earth as a carpenter's kid and at times I believe He went hungry. He was willing to be poor, so I can have a buddy that is poor. Heard the story of how the kid with cancer was embarassed cause his hair dropped because of chemo? All his frens decided to shave their heads, even the girls, to show him they understood. That's what our God did, and still does.

I believe many of us have a picture of God seated on the throne, crossing His legs and saying "I've done my part, now I'm just gonna sit back and relax and watch my children go through their lives." If you believe Jesus' dying on the cross transcends time, you better believe God still feels whatever you're feeling now.

If it helps, do this. Honestly confess to God how you feel.

"Lord, I'm lonely." - Picture Jesus walking in the midst of the crowd, and feeling like nobody knows what is on His mind, His disciples bickering about who's gonna be seated at the side of the throne. Now picture Jesus saying those words.

"Lord, I'm hurt. I loved but I was not loved in return." - Picture Jesus lugging the cross and looking at the ppl cursing Him along the road. The people He loved and left His glorious throne for. Now picture Jesus saying those words.

"Lord, my friend betrayed me, he/she said he/she was my friend yet he/she did this." - Picture Jesus at the garden that night, as Judas walked away after kissing Him. Now picture Jesus saying those words.

God felt all these things, and today as I go thru them, He still feels it. And He's my buddy, my companion thru it all. He fought so I'll have a guide when I fight. He's my Champion.

Have you ever been lost in a supermarket? You started crying cause you couldn't find your mom? When you saw her you cried even more cause she picked you up and held you close to her. You hung on to her tightly cause in your heart you're crying "Don't ever let me go mom... why did you go away?"

That is how we feel when God hides from us at times, to make us walk on our own with the feet He has given us. But His eyes never leave us, He watches us from a distance. When He steps out again and shine His warmth, we run towards Him and cry, "Daddy... why did you leave? Why did you go away?". And all that matters is we're safe in His arms again.
