My point of view

Time is perhaps the only thing that humanity can never escape.

2009-09-12T01:29:00.001-07:00

Hello there,

It is true that my blog lived, died, lived,died,lived,died and lived again.

Heck its all part of life.

Living things die, such as us pity humans.

Time is the only thing that can never stop no matter how hard humans try.

We begin dying when we are born into this world.

How true is that?

I acknowledge that time is unstoppable.

Yet, good things keeps the flow of time passes by us pity humans too quickly.

I quote from Barz Luhmann,

the director of epic films some of which i enjoy, like oh say Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet

and some i have yet to see it like Australia,

Yes people its that dude that made such memorable films.

Anyhow, I think this song should one of the best of

Crowning Song of Awesomeness

(click link for further info on this and other cool media coined terms)

Im taking a part of it which relates to what im talking about.

"Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth;

oh nevermind;

you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself

and

recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you

and how fabulous you really looked….

You’re not as fat as you"

Anyhow,

my life is currently going through such an awesome adventure and that is the

Uni Life

I am now compelled to begin writing about moments which i think should not be forgotten.

I regret now

for i have wished i wrote down some events that I had lived through when the

miracle device called the internet and the application that came along called blogger was invented.

whether it was with my family, relatives or my friends,

whether it was Happy or Sad,

Joyful celebrations, or tearful mournings,

MAN! How i regret it now.

But regretting and being wishy washy is all useless talk and is a form of excuses.

I resolutely believe NOW

that i should change my thoughts and beliefs.

Focus on what lies ahead of me.

Believe in what great and wonderous opportunities lies before me.

For youth comes once in a life time,

I will have to wait for death and the painful karmic process to be reborn

to again indulge in such a sinful vanity induced of an age.

I have no idea how and what drives me to write this now at 4.51 a.m. Eastern time zone in Bloomington, Indiana US of A.

What matter most is that this post, will and should remind me should I forgot that living comes once, and whether are we living the reality as we know of as reality

Its all but a dream.

A dream that lives on until we lie dead in whichever we choose to die.

This is perhaps my longest post i have ever written and written without any guidelines of a planned essay.

Let this post be a reminder to myself and to those who read it,

that living is too short for anyone in this world,

THEREFORE,

A simple word to summarize our life for the present and for the future,

JUST

LIVE

End of note 1.

Now to add pics to add color to this post.

Delayed for the moment

2009-05-31T12:30:00.000-07:00

Sorry for the delay folks.

Heavily focused on completing project AC in time for this Friday.

I will find time to deliver a proper post during the mid week.

Till then stay tune.

Taking a moment to reflect an era, a man and a new License

2009-05-17T06:39:00.000-07:00

I'm back.
Thanks for the support of some of you guys for inspiring me to continue blogging.

Now,
lets spare a thought for a man not many would know him unlike American Idol winners but perhaps for the picture he took and represented the end of an era.

Hubert van Es
6 July 1941 – 15 May 2009
Well, most of us wasn't born when he was around but who could ever forget this iconic photo Hubert took in 1975.
The photo depicts the Fall of Saigon (present day Ho Chi Minh city)
in 1975 to Communist Vietnam with evacuees trying to grab a ride onto one of the last helicopters out of Saigon.

To go a little more detailed, this picture was actually mistakenly identified as the US embassy but in fact it was a CIA operated building.

For a more detailed description on how that moment was as described by Hubert van Es
Click here.

And what can be more significant that this photo represents the end of an era,
The Vietnam War era.
An era so controversial that it haunted a generation and it mirrors today's trouble in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Here are some pics from that time that somehow doesn't seem to change from what we can see at present.

Before I end here,one of the best quote of video games that relates here.
"WAR. WAR NEVER CHANGES" from Fallout series
Well spoken.....well spoken

I'll touch on some Vietnams epic movies next time around.

Now on something lighter,
Check this 2 pics below.

can u SPOT THE DIFF?
no prize for guessing it right.

yes, my red sticker is missing. Which means....
SAY GOODBYE TO MY LIL RED FREN
I can finally take any car onto the road without having to stick these on the front and back.
Here's to 2 years of driving constantly on the road. WEEEEEE!
Had my shares of accidents but this summarizes it all. I made it out alive and fully licensed.

Next post: The things you own, end up owning you and the case of kidnapping an unwilling friend.

Birthday, losing shoes, going "there" again and seeing you

2009-05-14T11:23:00.000-07:00

Its been a week since my last post and here comes another one.

First time to be able to consecutively post another blog after week. =)
Before we proceed,

A Special shoutout to one of my bestest buds

Happy 20th Birthday Tan Jeck Shen.

May the force always be with you.

Now on another front,
this is what happens when i got too excited to celebrate at Euphoria with my college buds,
rushing off into the night while forgetting to bring my socks,
and needing to take a break from the dancing and sweating of my bare feet,
by taking my shoes off.

Pictorial explanation available below.

"Someone" decided to be an asshole and hid my shoes.
I didn't just lose my shoes once but twice!!

in less than 10 mins.

But its alright cause i found both back and the asshole who did it
Courtesy of Amir's camera =)

And the ADP ppl which made that night happened and i will miss.

On ANOTHER FRONT
For a two week straight,
I've went up to Lookout point for the sake of jeckshen, "dearest of all my friends".

Photos for view.

Yours truly

My "on the way there" driver, Jordan Lo.
Can only give 5/10 for driving. Still takutla sitting in his car
The whole lot of us. Courtesy of Fei for snapping photos.

We all had a taste of the INfamous ampang burgers but sorry no photo of that available. Must hunt for Fei for that pic.

Last but not least,
just want to have a lil shout out of TY to my lil penguin who gave her time for me ytd after not seeing her for the past 3 weeks.

Luv ya and looking forward to your break time in the near future.

p.s. i just realised we nv did take a photo together for a very very long time.

Revived again. stubborn ol blog

2009-05-01T10:55:00.000-07:00

Well I'm back.
Due to a significant other half persuasion....
I'm back here at last.

Needless to say I've been gone missing for far too long. Even Jeck got pissed of my blog and deleted yours truly once AGAIN.
I still face some hesitation of what to write on this blog. So do encourage me. I could always use some.

So where SHOULD i start?

The past mins/hours/days/weeks/month of what happened?
OR
perhaps something for the future.

hmmm.

maybe i should have a designated week post? I'll go random for the moment.
Alrighty then. Future trips I'm looking forward too.

Video Games Live Singapore
Redang (hopefully?)
Forum
(Pray that might Operation AC will be finished in time for this)

I will go more detailed regarding the trips when i return again.

I'll cya when i cya.

Hi. My name is Li Ann, and I'm from the Leo Club of SMK Taman SEA

2008-08-30T12:01:00.000-07:00

Mak says: I can't believe I'm letting you do this for me. The night must be manipulating me.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,
It IS 3am in the morning and I'm blogging using Mak's account.
No clue why he actually agreed. Surprised actually.
I'm in L.O.C by the way which is Leo Orientation Camp.
Can't sleep so here I am spamming on Mak's blog.
* BIG BIG GRIN*

Anyways, the poor owner of this account is up waiting for that meow to come back from his KONONNYA 30 MINUTE MAMAK MAKAN SESSION. Poor fella so tired and desperate to sleep. Yet I'm like some small girl in a candy store, blogging with his acccount. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA ( Evil Laugh LLC 07 Style).

Oh my gosh, I forgot to introduce myself properly although the header pretty much says it all.
My name is Li Ann, I'm from Taman Sea. I can't sleep actually, that's why I'm blogging. Not that I don't want to sleep, just can't sleep. I'm extremely hyper and loud. And no, I did not hack Mak's account. I only know the last letter of his password, which is E. The password has DAMN A LOT OF LETTERS, Siao case. :D

So let's see what I know about Mak. I met him in LLC 07 last year, he was the VOC back then, and also the VOC for LOC. He's 19 this year. He wears glasses. He doesn't have long hair. He's quite okay laa, decent guy. Takkan I write bad stuff about him using HIS account meh? :) He's also the Vice President for the Leo Club of PJI. He supports both Arsenal AND Chelsea, I think.

It's only 3.12 and I'm still stoning here, don't know what to do. Anyways, to all of those people who reads this blog, HI. :) and I think Mak fell asleep. A few of us are in a classroom, some sleeping with their heads on their arms on the table, while others with sleeping bags. Don't know why this people so stubborn don't want to sleep on the floor with their sleeping bags.

What else can I talk about? Hmmm, how about food? I like cookies. :D and errmm I think Meow and Lawrence are back from their session. Gosh they must be wondering what on earth with me.

Anyways, I shall wrap this up since Mak's like errmm giving me that look. So goodnight people. :D

Hopefully I get to do this again.

Bye.

the commandment commands me

2008-07-26T10:53:00.000-07:00

Hello there people.

Yes i'm back again after a very long absence due to my lack of motivation to blog.

Surprisingly the reason now i restart again is due to ctrl-alt-del comic. They always come with stuff that i feel i should spread the word of it.

Now for today's topic of blog, here for ANY gamer SHOULD follow and never even dare to break anyone of those listed. Unless u want to get punch in the face for daring to break it. U have been warned.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF GAMING!!
P.S. credit to CAD-comics.

On another note, it has been already a week since [PAR] saw action at the APIIT ICCG COD4 competition. It sure was a tough competition but on the bright side, we sure made quite far even though we didnt train much. 4th place is still coolio even though we were that close to third. but heck we are pariah, we play for fun dudez.

Met lots of familiar COD 4 peeps there too. Funny yet chun peeps. Hope to see you guys another time.

Kudos to the team consisting of Soung the commander, Hann the hunter, Terence the ninja, Oscar the guard and eng liong the extra kaki. Couldnt have done it without you guys.

Until next post and hopefully soon too.

annoucement: Winter-een-mas is HERE!!!!

2008-01-26T11:17:00.000-08:00

ALL HAIL THE GAMING HOLIDAY!!

Its that time of the year ppl where gamers unite and worship the gaming genre gods. Now this is jus an announcement so i'll be posting a more proper post later in the afternoon including some events of the past week that shud be duly noted.

But for now, LONG LIVE WINTER-EEN-MAS

For more info do visit http://www.wintereenmas.com/

Until later. OUT

Fear creeping in my toughts, new combat EXP and a video to be talked

2008-01-20T07:01:00.000-08:00

WARNING: This post is mostly for myself to reflect what's goin on in my head and figuring out a way/s to deal wit it. Self psychology that's what i call it.

NOW, before i dwell in on my tots lets have a recap of the past few days.

Friday was a blast. Paintball session was exhilirating if not, it jus brings in the adreneline rush i needed. Thanks Yong Wen for organizing this. I'll talk more about it next time when i get the pics. Pics will bring the crowd in to read hehe. Before that, I just have to say this out

AHHA MING! NOW I AINT SOK CHUN ANYMORE!! NO MORE "WAIT WAIT"phobia edi.

Then there is the usual chilling out/yumcha sessions, my training session at TBUN (now im lvl 29) and dinner at KL with the dinnerless lot.

Alrite, now thats out, here we go with the serious part.

lately, my thoughts have been running wild. I've been thinking too much, I guess WAY too much. Perhaps....its reality thats been hitting me on the head.

I've been thinking, where will i go in the next few years...... i mean right after university, would i start working already? Will i be slogging behind a desk running through paperwork after paperwork, working from corporate hours 8-5 everyday on the hour without rest....and somehow it all lays down on the stuff of studies. MAYBE, i'll be flying around talking to people i dun know and have to get a deal out of them..... its just so mind boggling. I guess the big question now is....

"Where do I want to go and perhaps HOW do i want to get there"

I guess life always slaps u in the face to wake u up every now and then. I guess All i can do now is CHOOSE wisely and carefully, jus think abit hard but not too hard until u cant figure out what to do and proceed from there. Let no fear be an impassible obstacle rather treat it as a barrier that has holes in it and exploit it in order to overcome it.

PHEW thats a relief, signing off now.

p.s. Thanks ming hee for helping me with the college thingy me jiggy. Sure helped alot with bringing me back down to Earth.

Oh right before that, some videos for both comedy and COOLNESS Reasons. (try beat this video)

a sick person a Tribute and a touch of videos of comedy

2008-01-15T05:32:00.000-08:00

Well boys and girls, I'm back and down with a bloody tap running down my nose and coughing like it's the cough of the century. Well what a way to open up the new year eh?

Now before we move on to the tribute section, let's just have a slight recap on college. College is back, arranged all my classes and speaking of which I havent paid my bills yet. note to self, get that done asap.

Now that we are done with personal details,

The Tribute section
On January 11,2008 passed a great man of the 20th century Sir Edmund Hillary aged 88.

The first known man who reached where no one has ever reached (and i aint talking bout the moon), the ceiling of the world Mt Everest.

Jus a brief syp on this great man , on 29 May 1953 Sir Edmund and his co-climber Tenzing Norgay became the 1st two to scale and reach the peak of Mt Everest,a place where no-man has ever reached in recorded history.
Sir Edmund success coincided with the coronation day of her majesty Queen Elizebeth II and thus both were knighted by the Queen with Tenzing credited in assisting Sir Edmund being awarded the hononary British Empire Medal. -credit to WIKI for this info

His great fete of the 20th century will not be forgotten. His contribution to the people of Nepal and inspiration to many others who followed in his footsteps will be remembered.
IT is also a reminder of the strength and potential of the human spirit that drives humanity forward and progress.

I salute you Sir Edmund Hillary, you would not be forgotten.

Now before i tune off, here some videos which i feel one must watch

Big Bang Theory, a new show by CBS though now still in hiatus due to Writers Strike. Watch and laugh ur pants off. My few favs about Halo and WoW. Just check here http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=big+bang+theory

And a dedication to the star wars fan,

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED to the X-Wing.

Thus with that i end here, my 1st completed post.

Going off,

amakor

IM INVINCIBLE!!!

2008-01-07T06:32:00.000-08:00
