Wake Me Up When September Ends

"As I go to bed to rest, thinking of good times that passed"

Wake Me Up When The School Year Ends (Parody of Green Day's Wake Me Up When September Ends) - Parallax Error

The timer on my desktop is a horror story happening. It's 48 more days to SPM...

And it's less than 2 hours till another month of my childhood goes straight out the window. Time is just going to fast. It's so difficult to treasure it because it's so slippery that it literally slips right through your hands and out of grip.

So many things happen these days before our very eyes, and when we finally grab the opportunity to catch it, it's over and never to happen again. A simple reminder can easily be ignored because we take time for granted. People are still going "Haiyoh...48 days still long time lah. Trial 2 not even started yet..." That's really the wrong attitude to have. Those 48 days will just pass you by like a fire engine responding to an emergency call. Zoom! It's gone!

I don't want to let go of a lot of things this month, and of course, this year wll be yet another year that I will miss dearly. Why? Because my birthday is too early and I don't wanna grow up!

Love,
Daniel

Music That Isn't

"I've travelled the world and the seven seas, everybody is looking for something"

Sweet Dreams - Swing feat. Dr. Alban

As I was in the car coming back from school Joel switched the radio station. I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas was playing. I somehow had a flashback to the days when I was still doing Music Theory.


My teacher was a very technical person and he always boiled down music to it's fundamentals. He was responsible for opening my eyes in the world of music, but also kinda responsible for narrowing the road I took. I still thank God for his classes though. It made me change the aim of my career from Music to Artistry (Communication).


I used to aspire to become a musician because I love music, but now that I've zoomed out of the industry I've decided to further in the artistic sector because my creativity came in more ways than one, and wasting it on technical knowledge in Univesity would be an absolute waste of time and money.


My theory teacher was pretty extremist. He believed that modern day techno, rap and all shouldn't be considered music, and that creativity comes after talent.


I begged to differ from that statement. I gave a talk on music and the manipulation of it's elements as my Public Speaking topic in Sri Nobel for both my SPM English and also the Oratorical Week Public Speaking competition. It won first place c=.

I'm not trying to brag, but I believe that one who is less fortunate may have ultimate creativity whereas some may be brought up to learn piano and theory just as a discipline and not knowing what on earth to do with it. I thought that it was rather inconsiderate to make that judgement about technicality and creativity, but then again, who am I to judge?


So what if you don't consider the Black Eyed Peas as music? It's entertaining and it's enjoyable. Well, maybe not for you but for us teenagers, yes. The Peas themselves are a symbol of unity. No where else will yo find a Red Indian, African, Brit and Filipino working together so well. Music is for the ears of the world, and not just for the professionals. That's why i'm all against Fine Art. I believe that Fine Art is a highly commercialized and aesthetic approach to art. It makes it lose it's meaning. Who needs a 2 million dollar piano when a keyboard can produce music as well? Nutjobs blow big cash on fine tuned handmade instruments just for that little bit of precision. Nobody needs it. Not even the performer. I would spend less than one eighth of 2 million on a Kawaii Upright that sounds like a Steinway & Sons Grand. I'm not a major precision pianist, but I know that the Steinway & Sons will NEVER fail the pianist who plays her.


Truthfully speaking, I perform for the masses, and for the victory of God. I don't give two hoots about the professional's fine-tuned ears or the gold-plated tuning forks that he may have.


With that, the next time you perform, do it for the enjoyment of all five parties involved: Composer, Performer, Audience, Crew and most of all, GOD.


Love,
Daniel

"Vibes they come, vibes they go and I dance with the flow"
This Is Love! - The Love Dictators

Time really flies...

I've put down my books for 2 weeks and boom! It's officially back to school today. =(

I can't believe September is ending. My childhood is endng....way too fast! A moment ago I was pondering about going for the funfair and now woosh! It's over! =(

Okay. Enough with the sad smileys. I'm here to make someone smile.

She's just had to let go of her precious childhood, but she's clinging on to her inner child as if she can't live without it. I'm not insulting her, i'm just kinda envious c=.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE AERIA!!

*as usual, no pic because I have been barred from JYM due to SPM*

My darling pet sister is an adult now! All grown up and ready to face the world as she is, and not as someone she's not.

It's a real pity that classes have to start just on your special day. But you're not gonna let that spoil your special day are you? I wouldn't.

I hope you'll use your birthday present wisely and that it'll put big smiles on your face, joyful songs in your heart and make you feel younger again!

Love and hugs and kisses,
Daniel

The Sweetest Dream Would Never Do

"Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say."
Just Dance - Lady GaGa

I don't know what to say about today. It was just awesome...

Not that i'm disgusted, I'm actually speechless. The Sri Nobel Funfair this morning was a real walk down memory lane. Two years ago a food and funfair was held at the same place and was a blast! This time the organizers revived the atmosphere perfectly well. Actually, they made it even hotter with an even better DJ on the stage.

But what REALLY shot me back to the past was...

the balloon stall c=

I know that my life is really entangled up in balloon string, but there was something special about this shop. It was beyond sales, beyond my love for balloons, and even beyond a successful funfair. It was acceptance.

Back in my old school, I wrote numerous proposals for a balloon stall after I saw one in my church to raise funds for Confirmation. It was so pretty that I dreamt of operating one. My old school had occasional food and funfairs and they were pretty successful. The students came up with their own games and made the food themselves. The proposal was accepted, but there was no financing. If I wanted it, I would have to pay upfront and claim the expenses later.

Stupid huh? They don't know what they missed.

I shifted to Sri Nobel, and in my second year there there was a funfair too. I reprinted proposals and rang up the balloon companies again to update the spreadsheets but I got the same response. Somehow God put a little voice in me telling me not to give up...

I heard that Auntie Clarine was in school the next day, and I had all the proposal letters and price comparison charts in hand. So I made an appointment with her, and that was one appointment that I won't forget.

I submitted those letters and she said that she would look into it. And guess what? She found a SPONSOR for the event! 1 Helium can and about 200 balloons all for FREE! They sold like hot cakes and we were SOLD OUT by noon!

All in all we used 3 tanks of helium and pushed nearly 500 balloons that one day alone. I never forgot the people I worked with at the stall, through all the jokes, laughter and scolding.

And today, the same people remembered me too. I went up to them and said hi, and just to give them some better business (and to satisfy my inner child who is jumping up and down wanting a balloon), I bought 2 balloons. DOUBLE of what I bought 2 years back.

Then I went into the hall to wish EDWARD SHAM a happy birthday. I dedicated a great song to him (Music In Me - Sasi The Don feat. Dr. Alban). Kian Hoong witnessed the "celebration" and helped me to cue the DJ.

At last, when the clock struck 2, the mighty Scott Thomas turned up, and I dragged him onto the stage to karaoke Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by AeroSmith. Voice split halfway, but we continued. He's so gonna kill me on Monday.

We were not the only ones who owned the stage. Many cute lil kids also took the mics and sang songs like Love Story and Just Dance. A truly talented bunch of girls were up there singing song after song.

The two of them were so CUTE I tell you...and the DJ should really be honoured to host these two talented kids.

So I came home at 3 with my balloons and looked at them and told myself: NO CAMWHORING. The last time I took pics with balloons it was a disaster.

So I removed myself form the picture.

Two really pretty colours, and exactly the same design as before. As it was 2 years ago. In fact, I still have the balloon from 2 years ago in a preservation bottle in my cupboard.

I extended the strings and made them taller so they won't fight lol. The upwards pull of a helium balloon can't be replaced by anything. It's a really sweet feeling you get when you tug on the strings. I saw a little girl who had it tied to her hair. It gives you the feeling as if an angel is hovering above you c=.

My room wall paintings really suit balloons. My bed is up in the sky and my table is under a tree. I've had these pantings ever since my dad prepared this room for me before I was even born, and I swear, even though I have scribbled on the wall alot in my childhood, that I will never repaint this room. Ever.

I gotta study now. Cheers to Aunty Clarine and the oranizers and everyone who made this funfair possible.

Love,

Daniel

P.S.

Will someone PLEASE do something about the twitter-silence?

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone
Big Yellow Taxi - Uncle Kracker

Lookie who I ran into today...

They were outside KFC SS2 giving out free stuffs. It's the first time i'm seeing them too! They're a really fun loving duo. A perfect example of how fun life can really be. Advertising is a pretty boring job, but this looks pretty cool. And what's better? They get to do it 3 times a day. And they're going for Arthur's day tonight!

I won Cascada's new album from them too! Yay. Today's my lucky day!

I got first place in the little quiz they had and could have won 2 passes to the Ministry of Sound for HOT Magazine's 5th anniversary, but i'm below 21. I'm not going to say it sucks to be me, because I'm blessed in other ways, and I don't wanna give up even a second of my childhood just for a night at a club. After all, I got KFC Vouchers!

Hope i'm lucky enough for Sri Nobel's funfair tomorrow!

And now I have to cut my beloved hair. Mum's giving me hell for being a kid.

Love,
Daniel

The Doc And The Don

"The music in this song is rockin' every motherland"

Music In Me - Sasi The Don feat. Dr. Alban

I've long been a huge fan of Dr. Alban. The Nigerian-born DJ who went to Sweden with hopes of becoming a dentist.

Alban Nwapa studied Dentistry in Sweden. In the meantime he would compose music and DJ at a club called "Alphabet Street" for to fund his education. Eventually he graduated, but his life as a DJ didn't end. His 1992 top his "It's My Life" and "Sing Hallelujah!" took him nto the top charts. He is, however, yet to reach number 1.

And today, he is still active as a DJ. I do wonder if he does dentistry on the side...If he does I want an appointment with him. I'm sure he won't mind. I brush my teeth 5 times a day c=.

On the other side of the world, in my motherland Malaysia, hails an engineer...

An engineer...so what? The world has too many engineers...

He studied with my chem teacher in university. My chem teacher did Chemistry obviously, and he did engineering. He too became a musician. Somewhat like Dr. Alban, instead he's into reggae whereas the Doc is in to Eurodance.

It's just God's grace that shows how people can have so much inside them if they only let it out. People have music in their souls and some express it better than others and that's a talent only God can give.

So who's this engineer...well, he's none other than the Tamillion reggae wizard himself,

That is Sasi The Don - Another amazing piece of musical talent from Bolehland.

So what if these two folks got togethr to do something really big? It would be awesome and powerful, a testament of God's gifts to us.

And they did get together. Actually the Doc dodn't move much. Sasi had to fly all the way to Sweden to get it done. And it was real good. The title even reflects in the talent each and every one of us have in our hearts.

An amazing song. Go look for it! I YouTubed it that day and heard it and it was awesome. Go hear it yourself. Sasi The Don feat. Dr. Alban - Music In Me.

Love,
Daniel

Me And You And A Dog Named Boo -Part II- The Inner Truth

"What'chu talkin' about Willis!? It gets old!"

It Sucks To Be Me - Avenue Q Original Broadway Cast

It was really funny how the Chinese big boss in The Hangover used that line from Avenue Q. Made me laugh so hard when I heard it.

School was a bore today. It's just 2 short days we will re-enter the holiday mood for the weekend. Kicking off with the Trinity Baptist Church Fundraising Funfair this Saturday in Sri Nobel. Can't wait!!

If you've been following me on twitter (@stpinkie), after that midnight water balloon fight in Brandon's place I returned with stupid rashes all over my skin and is was itchy like nobody's business, but somehow the very next morning it was fine.

Met Calvin Chew in school today. The news about Casper had spread. It's actually deeper than I expected it to be. Apparently, he died a slow and painful death. The poor litle puppy was trying so hard and helplessly to get himself up again. It's sad but true.

To make matters worse, the guy who rammed him over exited his Chevrolet and shouted "So what!!?" when Chin (the jogger) shouted at him. The guy really felt no remorse and no regret. The worst part is that he apologized with a "Sorry ah, so sorry." chaplang attitude. COME ON. You just killed an animal! You just took the soul of a piece of God's wonderful creation! Don't you feel it already? Where's that heart that is supposed to be inside you? Seems to me as if you locked it up in the cabinet behind your bookshelf.

Casper meant quite abit to me, and I wouldn't think that a dog cooped up in the porch of a house all day long would be much, but I was way wrong. Casper was a peacemaker. There was tension between alot of the dogs in the neighbourhood, maybe because of looks or food or something, but Casper didn't mind. Everyone was equal to him and he loved to make new friends. Even with cats lol c=. It's really cute when he approaches cats.

The innocence and the naivity all adds up to how God shows us how fun life can really be. Little things, like even the butterflies in the park show us what life is all about, and how we should live it to the fullest because if we don't , we'll still be furry little caterpillars wriggling around waiting for something to happen. When you wanna live your life to the max, don't wait for something to happen, MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Love,
Daniel

"Let's paint the town, we'll shut it down!"

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

In the tranquility of the balik kampung atmosphere, I'm supposed to be revising, but what am I up to? Reflecting on my life as it was, is and will be. Sounds stupid? Well, just to let you know, time is flying. 

Yes. SPM is drawing ever so near, but i'm still up to nonsense. As it is i'm at Brandon Gavin's house posting now, from his oversized iMac. Gosh, Mac OSX is harder to use than I ever imagined. The command prompt is still bash-like, reminding me of my linux at home. Haha. Opensource rocks!

Life, in itself, is a journey.  I have absolutely no idea how many times I've said that. I remember the period of my life when I felt that life was a worthless torturous journey. I regret those thoughts today because I feel that I have yet to see the real world, and that I have much more to be thankful for than I'll ever know. It's really proven that you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Just look around you. Your family, your computer, your handphone, your life. It could all disappear just like that. But remember, for everything God takes, he gives it back. If he can't find a lil' something in his shelf, he just borrows it from one of us and replaces it with something of equal or greater worth.

The debate on eternal life is ongoing in the world, and I myself am confused about it. The life i'm living is for yesterday, today and tomorrow. I don't live only for today, neither do I live only for tomorrow or yesterday. I believe in the power of tomorrow (to the point of procrastination). That 's how I believe life should be lived. I may have a sucky life to you, but to me, I believe that the party hasn't even started yet. I'm still warming up.

And i'm enjoying being 17 and naive. It only lasts so long so for all of you anticipating something, forget it. Enjoy life as it happens, and if you really want, keep that something in mind c=.

Love,

Daniel

Happy Together

"I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches, build you a fire if the furnace breaks"
I Wanna Grow old With You - Robbie Hart feat. Billie Idol

Time really flies, and before you know it it'll be SPM for me and I'll be turning 18. I don't want either to happen, because I don't wanna grow up.

However, today I shed a few tears for a great friend and, so to say, colleague. I don't have pictures from the wedding because my phone's in the shop being repaired and I forgot the camera. But I still insist that i've gotta post.

A big congrats to

ANDY & ALICE LOH!

May you live in unity forever and let nothing, even death, do you part. May God walk the Journey of Life with you in his watchful eyes and keep you safe from harm and anything that may come between you two.

I really need a camera...

I went up to the 5th floor of SIB and I saw a really, really beautiful sight. Plenty of helium balloons, all oh-so-colourful and pretty. And to make it even nicer, there were helium filled double-balloons!! Gosh they were a work of art on a string. Each and every one of them. And when I went into the hall, there were 2 42" Qualatex Stars Around as the man decorations on the stage. Really pretty. It's a pity i don't have photos.

For you people behind the organization of the whole wedding, it was a great job! Really loved every bit of it. Cheers to the worship crew, the pastors, the photographers, the celebrants and everyone who played a part in this wedding. It was truly an amazing way to celebrate matrimony.

A great selection of music too. I've made up my mind. My wedding song is gonna be I Believe by Dr. Alban. Which reminds me, I watched G-Force this morning. Damn cute and funny with LOTS of Black Eyed Peas songs. Boom Boom Pow! They're coming on Friday for Arthur's Day. I shall not break any rules by entering I'm still a kid and I like it that way. I'm 17 and loving it!

And as for Andy and Alice, wish you guys a happy honeymoon, and I'll be looking forward to seeing you two in Sri Nobel!

Love,

Daniel

Me And You And A Dog Named Boo -Part I- Man's Best Friend

"As soon as you've reached the Better Place, still I'd give the world to see your face"

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey

Just dreaming about getting my drivers license already makes me envious of those who have one, but when you have a first-hand experience of what a car can do when the steering is in the wrong hands, everything changes.

I, for one, have noticed it happen, but passed by too quickly to see it properly. Sometimes, however, you don't need to be the one who saw it for it to strike you. At that point of time, you probably wish that you were there to take the hit.

For it was someone who was dearly and deeply loved on the receiving end of the tragedy. God is great. He didn't want his best friend to watch the devastation, for it would have been too gruesome and anger inducing that it would do no more than dig the wound deeper.

I am talking about Man's best friend, and in this case, a Shih Tzu. But not just any man's best friend. Not the average man who lives a life, but a great friend who has walked beside me in my Journey of Life, Calvin Chew.

His beloved puppy of 2, a wonderful and bubbly friend who would be there all the time to brighten up your day. A bundle of happiness who is willing to give you all the love you need when you need it most.

Dear Casper

REST IN PEACE

Laid upon his final resting place with sorrow and grief by his owner on 15th September 2009. The eulogy reads;

form 3 and 4
I had many enemies
why, the whole class would alienate me.
I only had 2 or 3 people who got the same treatment
who came to be my friends.
and these idiots
who keep coming after us
stared at my family's car before
shouted at my parents before
I vowed

shall anything happen to my family
because of them
or anyone else
I'd get them
you won't be seeing Calvin Chew at that moment.
I've carried that vow till today

Casper.
he's a member of my family.
he didn't die.
he got ****ing killed!
by an asshole

who drove so bloody fast
there's a roundabout
before my house
ask Scott
he knows.
there weren't any lights that night on the street
and
Casper stays outside in the porch
people were playing fireworks
they had a function sorta thing nearby

he hates fireworks.
gets very scared.
who ever knew

Casper was able to slip out of the house by a narrow gap beside our gate?

it was tuesday.
I was at tuition.
7.15 p.m. was the last time I saw him.
and I left.
when I came back
no
when I finished my class
I came out

my dad shouted
for me to quickly get in, Casper's been hit by a car!
no, RUN OVER.
I got in
that instant
his phone rang
I answered
my mum was hysterical
and so was my sis in the background.
she said
Casper's left us.
and the line dropped dead
throughout the rest of the ride home
my dad went super hysterical
I had never seen him cry so much
and scream
it was as if he was possessed

a jogger
who comes round our place every night
witnessed the whole thing
that bastard murderer
drove so quickly
usually at a roundabout
you go clockwise
and take a 3 o' clock
my house is a 3 o clock turn.
this asshole just made an illegal turn straight to the right
but its no ****ing excuse that there weren't any lights!
it still takes you quite a bit to reach where Casper was standing

the jogger, Chin explained...
the jogger, Chin explained...

he said
Casper was on the roadside
and he called for him to come
he was slowly going to Chin
and other cars even stopped for him!
and let him pass first!
and the moment he tried to catch him

that murderer had to come along
he was just a metre away
the guy got out of the car
Chin was furious.
He was shouting
YOU ****ER!
YOU ****ING KILLED A DOG!
CAN'T YOU ****ING SEE AT ALL?
that guy...
he still made as if
he said
what the hell did I do wrong?
there were no lights
that's no ****ing excuse!
don't tell me he couldn't see Chin?
don't tell me a car doesn't have lights?

he totaled his father's car before.
last year
and he's still allowed to drive!

I have to keep my vow.
this bastard.
he KILLED my little boy.

in the morning
afternoon
or evening
I seem fine
but when it approaches night
and darkness falls
I begin to..

my dad, mum and sis....all going hysterical..
it still haunts me..

that guy.
he came to the house
with such a smug expression
"sorry ah, so sorry."
and walked off.
if I'd known the truth that time
heh.

I can't believe so.

Well, Malaysian attitude and driving and a fear of fireworks really proved fatal. If you all think that Ligyrophobia was just a ridiculous excuse for being a pussy, think again. It just claimed a life.

And if you think it's just a dog, just stop to think about what it would be like if it was YOURS. People can be attached to other things and even inanimate objects as if they were part and parcel of their family, and if you don't feel it, you never will because it's something that takes a first hand experience to know what it feels like.

For some reason, maybe it was the naivety, the playfulness, the fun loving attitude or the fear of sudden loud noises that made me see myself in that puppy. I can say that I loved him too, even though I met him twice. I couldn't believe that this happened the moment I heard it. Calvin didn't want to talk until late today. When he was down this bad, I knew something wasn't right.

For every soul that has gone to a better place, I shall place a verse from God's word here for anyone who would like to pray that Casper will be safe in Heaven smiling upon us.

PSALMS 145:10-11

Creation and creatures applaud you, God, your holy people bless you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,

God be with you Casper. Gonna miss you lots.

Love,

Daniel

SPM Trials ended extra late for yours truly due to my stupid food poisoning last week, so I had to stay back till 4 in school to finish my Physics paper 3. It was a totally crazy experience. I had to do a paper which was half marked. I finished the first half during the physics period and passed it up then got it back for completion after school ended.

Imagine that. Your paper is half marked and you notice a mistake you made in the beginning of the paper and you go back to retrace but your paper is already marked and barred from changes!

Hello Motherland!

"In this small town dreams do come true, so stand up and represent where you're from"

Ipoh Mali - Point Blanc

Malay, malay, malay....

The biggest crime in the world. The language that has been killing me slowly over the years. Stolen from the poor and poverty-stricken Indonesia, Malaysia heartlessly stole the language known as Bahasa Indonesia and changes it so violently that it's more recognized as Malay. Note that I still call it Bahasa Melayu. Bahasa Malaysia is a mixture. It consists of Bahasa Melayu, English, Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, Mandarin, Indonesian and Singlish. Do note that it's different from Manglish as it has more elements.

The Internet is so amazing mow that it permits ttranslation of web pages, and so if you're more familiar with Bahasa Melayu, do check out

http://MenyetirSensasi.TK

It's not that accurate, but it's a great effort sponsored by Google.

And so...the winning .com URL for Drive The Sensation is....

Don't try it yet, it's not active, but when you come back and I announce that it is, Hello World, here I come!

Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle) - Limp Bizkit

As you know this blog is awaiting a new URL...and the ideas just keep coming in :).

The internet has become like a real-estate market. Even URLs and domains are being bought and leased out. Come on! We don't even live there! All some of us want is a meaningful place to put our blogs to share with the world.

Kath told me about http://ohsopanas.com/, and it's a really nice and good blog. The name's catchy for someone like her and her character but not for me. I believe that I'm a deep thinker and that I need something a little...philosophical. Haha.

So I thought of LifesAJourney.com, because of my motto and view of life as gift from God to us. So I tried to register, but lookee what crap I got back.

Thank you for your interest in the domain name LifesAJourney.com.



Thank you for your interest in one of our Exclusive Premier Domain Listings. The owner of this domain is accepting offers because of the wide variety of uses for this domain. We recommend that you research the value of domains and seriously consider your offer before completing this form. Because of the volume of offers received, only offers of $1,000 or more will be considered for this Premier Domain Name.

 
Oh go to hell! The domain was there since the birth of the Internet! If you think of it as some fancy "Premier Domain", why hasn't anyone bought it off your greedy hands yet!? A simple blog wants to use it to show the world what someone thinks about life and to share and spread God's love through blogging and all you can do is book it up as a stupid "Premier Domain". Idiot.
 
Ok, so I let go of that and went for SingWithSpirit.com, but kinda lost interest in it. It wasn't appealing enough. So I thought, what about TwinkleTwinkleLittleStar.com? It's cute and it's a great approach to the Journey of Life.
 
But it was bought by this stoopid company Also hell bent on bloody GREED...
 

Name Administration Inc. BVI (NAmedia) is an online media network that operates thousands of generic domain names for paid search and development purposes. You may not have heard of NAmedia before, but you have probably visited one of our websites. Our master catalog of properties includes a significant percentage of the Web's most commercial, memorable and highly trafficked generic website names.


Websites such as PlumbingFixtures.com, eShopping.com or SavingMoney.com don't have the instant recognizability of a large destination site such as Yahoo or Google, but collectively, our network of generic, memorable websites is so wide and compelling that it will be searched by nearly every person on the Internet at least once in the next year.

 
Okay. and I went to find the price. Guess what?

NAmedia is not in the business of selling domain names. It is not our intention to "hold out for your best offer". Replying to your email and the many we receive like it each day, costs us time that could be better spent growing our media business. We receive many emails with a similar subject and do not have the infrastructure to physically reply to all of them. If you have an inquiry regarding purchasing web-traffic within one of our verticals, or across our network please send a detailed inquiry via our Contact page

Can you believe this crap!? Look at the bolded text. It just reflects the greed of these corporations and how money-minded they are. Your media business can be bloody automated! All you do is land your stupid parked sites at the good domains where some people with a message to send and want it badly.

Next up...the good sites that people forget.

Hearts.com and HugsAndKisses.com are the cutest URLS someone with a big heart would want, but hey, they're parked by the oh-so-monopolizing GoDaddy.com. And guess what?

Waste Another Year Goes By...

"You taught me how to live"

Homecoming Part I (The Death of St. Jimmy) - Green Day

Age is just a number. Tell yourself that and you'll be freed from the boundaries of your age-limited lifestyle. It's never to early or too late to do anything. As it it said that universe is like a clock, and God is the clockmaker. Time is merely a phenomenon, but we shouldn't take it for granted.

I watched Air Force One last night, and I told myself, time is really something we should treasure, because you have so much of it, but once it's gone it's gone. No turning back.

Have you ever had a friend who was with you every moment of your life for 12 months? Everywhere you go including the toilet, outer space, your kitchen or even your school, he's there. He's not invisible, but at the same time, you can't see him. However, at the last second of those 12 months, he leaves you without saying a word, and never, ever comes back.

I had a friend just like this, and his name is 2008. Nope, i'm not mad, but it's just that you can hold on to anything in life as long as you know when to let it go. In this case, those 12 months were something I had to let go of with grief.

My dad fell off a ladder 2 days ago, and I panicked like crazy. I ran up and down the house looking for anything that I could do to help. He was admitted to hospital that night for safety precautions and was discharged yesterday with some meds and a warning to stay away from ladders.

I read Vanessa's blog that day, and my my. It's true that God can call us back into his loving hands at anytime. A few of my friends have lost loved ones quite recently to H1N1 and freak accidents, and so they may have to learn it the hard way. Time is a gift to us that's not in our hands to control, but to use wisely.

Dreams come true even after death. I say so because when you take a look at The Late Benazir Bhutto. Her dreams for a peaceful country she once ruled is now, although slowly, on it's way to reality. It really is. If Tun Dr. Mahathir doesn't live till 2020, do you think we're gonna scrap Wawasan 2020? Hell no. We're almost there (if you neglect the political shitstorm). All you need is faith, and God's grace will do the rest. I'd like to end this post with a quote from a famous comedy sequel movie, Evan Almighty. This line was said by a minor charactrer named Al. Althugh He was a small character, He was actually God representing Himself to Evan's wife when she was in times of doubt, and this is what He said.

"When you ask God for patience, does He give you patience, or does He give you a chance to be patient?"

Sleep on that tonight.

Love,
Daniel

The Intermission

"I used to walk around with a stick in my hand"

SOS - Dr. Bombay

The final bell of the day sent us dashing out of our claustrophobia-inducing classroom. Well, we didn't really wait for the bell. We were already half way out of the school.

It's pretty much hell on earth when you have people who are out there who can't take noise. If you can't take noise. Here's what you gotta do. Go pull every cent out of your bank account, buy a small room and pad the wall with mattresses and stay there and ROT.

Noise is all around us, and if you can't take it, well, sorry! We noisy people WILL NOT shut up and tolerate you all. God gave us a mouth and an attitude for a reason, so don't come rapping on people's door telling them to shut up. We have every right to speak. NO ONE has a right to silence. Not even me. Even if it's at 3am, it's just not right to take away someone's right to sound just for your own comfort. It's extremely selfish and arrogant of you people.

And as for you music critics, every song, whether it's by Tchaikovsky, Elvis Presley or even Katy Perry has it's value. Learn to appreciate. I've given up asking my brother to switch the radio stations when Katy's songs are being played. Why? Because it has been composed, and it's a piece of music. It deserves some acknowledgement.

So if you call ANY song noise, regardless if it's discriminatory, ruckus or satanic, WATCH YOUR MOUTH. Don't even think about turning it off. It's being played because someone is giving it value for what it's worth. RESPECT THAT if you don't respect the song, because it's a human who's appreciating it.

Ok. just played pet society to calm me down. So cute c=

And now, living with a drug ridden guy who's got it prescribed. There's nothing I can do to stop him, but he just had to take one today. To all readers, lay off the pill called INSTANT ASSOLE, or more commonly known as Concerta. Stupid drug, makes you a real bastard. Can't take noise and will make you attack anyone who disrupts your attention. For Christ's sake, people have a right to live! Just because you're on drugs doesn't mean you become the Orde Cosmos or big boss. In fact, it makes you look really retarded and susceptible to revenge during post-drug consciousness.

So folks, learn to live with noise. It's all around us. If you still can't or don't want to I believe there's a knife in your kitchen for cutting vege. Use it.

Love,
Daniel
