Don't Waste Your Life

Life's a journey - don't forget to unpack.

Where it all meets

Perhaps then, it is at the cross of Christ that we find what we crave for most deeply in this world. Love and sacrifice, justice and mercy, faithfulness and grace. It is at the cross of Christ that all these meet, and if we dig deep enough into the core of our being, we will find that these are the things we will live and die for. - Me

To you, my reader. :)

There, look on me, so that you may not praise me beyond what I am; there, believe me, not others, about myself; there, attend to me and see what I have been in myself, through myself. - St Augustine

Things that SUCK and Things that ROCK

I swear.

It sucks to be involved in racist incidents. Damn it. I never knew it was so prevalent here in NZ. Junren says he's been involved with more than 5 already. I've personally been involved in 2. First one was a couple of weeks ago on the way to Riccarton Mall when this bunch of white asshole kids drove by us and made dog-sounding noises.

The 2nd time occurred 5 minutes ago. I was cycling home from uni, and this bunch of blardy white kids drove by me and sprayed water on me. You know, like the wiper-spray thingy that's meant to help clean your windscreen? Well, this bunch of kids were speeding through a small lane and apparently they had that wiper-spray turned to the side so they can spray it at random Asians that they see on the streets and speed away.

Can't you damned assholes just grow up, you assholes?

Fear cripples. I really understand that now.

I mean, at many times, fear cripples SO much that it hinders us from living our lives normally and being normal human beings.

I mean, i could choose not to sleep in my room because the mouse is here somewhere and move out and sleep in the kitchen and freeze, or I could choose not to be too bothered with its presence. I can't move out of my room, can i?

Can't imagine how Shaleen would've cooked dinner last night. She didn't dare to take the garlic out of the cupboard cos it was near where the mouse was last seen. Oh well.

Thank God the mouse is in my room and not Shaleen's, Manasi's or Reb's room, if not three people's lives will be pretty turned-around.

Well, just throw away that pack of biscuits and put some rat poison. It's about as much as we can do, isn't it?

I guess this is a small reflective lesson for what I'm facing in a much larger scale with the difficult time i'm going through. But just like the mouse in my room and it's presence, I'm gonna try not to allow this to affect me till Aug 10. Cos really, there ain't much I can do about it.

Well, enough about things that suck. How about something that ROCKS?

University of Canterbury Students' Association Fee Hike Protest! 26th July, 2pm














And besides all the awesome signs, they had a live band a free sausages for everyone present! Woohoo! (And btw, the band rocked too)


The UC Students' Association President Warren Poh speaks before marching into the Vice-Chancellor's office to lay down his demands:


Nervous University admin staff looking on from their offices to what's happening in the square:



Well, I guess now we all know that wearing BLACK T-shirts aren't that effective after all. Erm.. the NUS council didn't give 2 hoots to us. But this protest at UC brought about the desired results, I would say. They have a history of protesting. Like camping in the Uni Admin Building so no one can do work. Or close down the Uni in 2001. Or marching down the road that leads to the city centre. Or perhaps angmohs just find any excuse to party..

Erm. Mr Danny Goh, would you like to take a look at what's going on here? Kao-bei-ing on online forums ain't too effective, u noe..
