When will I find thee...

It has been some interesting past few days. I have been going to Jalan Duta's National Tennis courts quite often to watch Vincent kick some asses. It has been really cool and fun. You'd get to see really good players smashing balls and playing with determination. Looking at them, I longed to be of one of those down there one day. Next year? I'd hope. Who knows?

On Wednesday I joined a small group of LEOs for a trip to University Hospital for a visit to the Geriatric & Pediatric Ward and the Dialysis Centre. The doctors and nurses there we're really friendly and nice. They had brought us around and explained to us different things about the wards and so on. I had the privilege to converse with an Old malay lady and a family of a patient. Surprisingly both ladies had 9 children and both had Kencing Manis and both husbands died because of Kencing Manis too. Hrmmmzz... But I'm glad at least I made her day. She teared after we left. It was a satisfying feeling to have helped and accompanied a senior citizen. The trip that morning had really inspired me to take up medical but yet there are a few setbacks but hey, I have another year to experience and plan. You could see loads of Botak Kids too at the Pediatric Ward. They were cute but somehow you'd know things ain't going too well with them. Let's pray along for them k? ;)

Yesterday morning had to wake up at 6:30 AM to prepare for tennis and soon was on my way for tennis lesson with Jean Yi and Melissa. Weeeeee! Had another awesome 2 hours of really good tennis. You can really see our improvement. Jean Yi is turning into Maria Jeanyipova. She has it man!.. Melissa has her signature Leg Up-Forehand and ballet stunts. Seriously cool... Hahaha.. I always enjoy my tennis lessons. The one decision in life that I'll never regret!.. Brought so much fun and laughter to my life. Thanx Vincent!!! Rigth after that rushed over to Jalan Duta again to watch Vincent in his finals. And yet again another Victory 6-2 6-4 if i was not wrong? His coach had said that at his level he should win his opponents 6-0, 6-1, or 6-2.

You know those nights when You feel all lonely and depressed. I'd felt that last night. Something deep in me just longed for someone to talk to. Have you ever felt lonely one night and just longed for someone on your phonebook that you'd be able to call and just laugh it out? For those of You who already has that kinda friend, I envy You. Its such a privilege to have such a friend. Somehow deep within me is still emptyness and a longing for a true friend. Sometimes I'd wonder when will that friend of mine like me as much as I like them. It kinda feels akward sometimes when you'd really like this person but somehow You know he/she isn't liking you as much as you do to him/her. Wherever You are out there Best Friend, I'd hope I find you soon.....

Maybe because this week ain't an easy one. Loads of hinderances putting the Worship Team together for this Sunday. I'd feel that there is more to it than just them pulling out but something spiritual. I'd to also pull together cell for tonight. Irwin and Daphnie ain't gonna be around so less help around. Praying all will go well tonight, Saturday's Practice and Sunday's Service. Please pray along....... sigh~~~

With this heavy thoughts in my mind I'd leave for Megamall today to get a Nike tennis bag. But somehow don't feel to good bout it. Arghh... Better get all this trouble off my shoulders soon. ITS GONNA BE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!! Believing it!

Pushing towards the goal,

Towards the Dreams of our Life

Good Evening faithful readers,

Just got back from Bangsar Seafood tonight with Uncle Yeoh and family. Not too say they serve extraordinary food la, but it wasn't too bad la. I'd like the fish though. Some Garupa I think. I shan't mention the price of the fish itself. Had a walk down Bangsar with Elaine, Sharine and my Sis. They really had great Itallian, Mediteranean, Thai, Japanese, Northern Indian Cuisines and Gourmet. It was all in that stretch. They had beautiful architecture and landscape, a rel great serene feeeling with water running, small streams of water that flowed. Back at the dinner table, Mom & Dad was giving Elaine a review on Counselling, Psychology, mind sicknesses, Child Psychology and so on. It was an insight. Elaine took CPU after her O-Levels at Garden International. She had all distinctions and got a scholarship at CPU. According to her it is easy. I believe so. Sis says CPU students have to most fun compared to the SAM or A-Level students. While my sis was doing SAM last time they used to admire the students doing CPU. They even had some "Egg-Care-Taking" event for a week where they had to "adopt" the egg for a week and make sure its well taken care of and no cracks form. I'm still evaluating. But there's a 0% chance I'm going for STPM. A big NO NO. Was thinking about S'pore with Junior College, or A-Levels in Melbourne or maybe just doing a foundation study at Sunway/Taylors. But will it all be worth it?............

But tonight got me thinking about my future. Was just conversing with Vincent and Jo Lin on Life and our Dreams and Goals. Everyone has a desire deep hidden in our heart. Whether it be building a house by the beach one day, meeting Britney Spears, building a Sex Academy, filming an award winning thrilogy of the Lord of the EarRings, winning the US Open, or just plain building a family of 3 and having sex with your wife every night. I guess most of us just wanna live a life of luxury and wealth at the end. But somehow thats not what I yearn. Somehow I seek a life of fulfillment and satisfaction. But that ain't easy to come by. Tell me when are you ever going to be satisfied with what you have. I guess true fulfillment only comes when one is thankful and grateful and I've not reach that state of contentment. Life is not going to get any easier from now onwards. With more knowledge pouring in, I guess more problems and complications will catch up too. SPM is around the corner, just a year away, cell is growing and the people aren't getting any easier, future is more blur than it seems and soon I'll be working.

Well, all I can do now is live to the fullest of life and appreciate the times I will have with my friends now. Its funny that everytime when our paths differ, friends tend to go missing too. I want to make a consious effort to keep my close friends close to my heart. Soon, Vincent will be leaving for Texas, Benedict for Melbourne, and the rest to different colleges. Again and again I keep saying, I really do treasure You all. Although we may grow to our different paths, may our roots aways remain the same my dear beloved Brothers and Sisters.

A little I've editted for my various friends, hope you enjoy it.

I hate the way you talk to me
And I hate the way you cut your hair;
I hate the way you hit my butt
I hate it when you stare;
I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind;
I hate you so much it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme;
I hate the way you're always right
I hate it when you lie;
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worst when you make me cry;
I hate it when you're not around
And the fact you didn't call;
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close, Not even a little bit, Not even at all.

Ain't Perfect Boi,

Family First

Its funny that actually that everything in our life is somehow affected by the outbringing of our childhood and family. For sometime I did question why was I born to my family, but soon time slowly revealed that it wasn't bad at all. As we all know, each family is built of different backgrounds and combination of characters and personalities. But all families do go through turbulance and disturbance once in awhile. But as they say "air dicincang tidak akan putus juga". I've grown to appreciate my family each day by the bits. You should too. Though you may feel unfair sometimes, but God has a plan when he landed you in that family of yours. Just feel like appreciating my family. No matter at times if i had been the spoiled young baby, I'm gonna love each and everyone of You till my last breath. Much love and support.

I just wanted to bring up my family because I started to realise that almost every blog I've read never touched on their family ever. Hmmm.. weird.. Will let you guys have some insight on my family members one day ;P. Alrighty, its been sometime again since I've wrote. Life has been great. Productive in my eyes?.. haha.. Parents came back from a 10 Day trip to Fiji and brought back a few Tennis gear for me (weee!). Mom didn't stop describing the details of every corner and event that happened in Fiji all the way from the time she entered the car in KLIA back to the dining table at home. She can really talk. Imagine how much she can nag?. HAHA.. Hey, but I'm not complaining. Love her soooo dearly. She's the coolest. The one thing I love her for is her Blurness. Its just so adorable yet I can't comprehand at times. Once, she was rushing for a dinner with dad. Dad was honking outside already. Soon she quickly grabbed a sparking pair of red shoes and ran outside. She was all frustrated and complaisent by this time. She had forgotten to take the keys along. So I went outside to pass them the keys. Dad had used his auto-controlled buttons to pull down Mom's side of window. Yet, Mom opened the door to get the keys from me. So i passed the key to her NOT from the window. SOMEHOW, she took the key and pulled the door at the same time. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!.. She had slammed the door on her finger. Fuh drama man that night. HAHAH.. :p Love you loads mom. (She's arranging some papers beside me now n yet doesnt know i'm writting bout her :P).

Ok, back to my week. So Fiji. Tennis. While they were at Fiji me & dear sis, Julie cooked almost every meal (yummy). I already capable of cooking a decent chinese meal. Its yummy. Trust me. Lolz :P. Caught up on my Final Fantasy X-2 during the past few days too. Yuna rocks :P. Irritated by LeBlanc's Boobs (for FFX2 players :P). Her outfit is like, uhhh disgusting. Anyway, had 2 hour tennis session with Jean yi and Melissa again. Totally In love with tennis. Alas I've understood the feeling of some FOOTBALL fanatics. Bro is included. Gosh, he is like naming every player on the field. It can get really pissing irritating at times when he watches his football matches and play his football games on the PS2. Urghh~ Hogger!.. Watched The Perfect Man just now in the afternoon with Mom, Sis n Bro. Cute Romance movie.

Well, I guess I don't really have much to say tonight. Sleep well people. Really appreciate you taking time to read my post. Now you know me a little better ;P. Love ya'll ppl. Redbox soon?

Appearance of Fullness and yet empty inside..

Some of you might be wondering of how such a title of my post tonight appears. I guess it needs no explaination. But allow me to bring you back to the past few days and of course my experiences and thoughts.

10th November!..
Weeeee!!! Partaaayyy timeee... Shiok shiok... Let me skip to the afternoon.. had a nap n woke up at aproxx 6++... I'm suppose to be at Kelly's party at 7++ before she comes back at 8++.. Rush rush rush... Actually dreamt bout tennis while was sleeping (muahaha)... Took a warm bath.. It was raining shit outside.. oh sorry i mean, raining rain.. lolz.. K k.. better get back to prooper english and vocabulary. Thus because of such chills that I felt by the rain I decided to take a warm bath under the shower. Of course I had one of those Toilet Concerts again~. I'm quite sure almost everyone of you do not know that one my passions in life is to have concerts in my toilet almost every evening. My family has gotten really pissed with me and voice from the day the "tour" started. But trust me in this, the concerts Really does help in building confidence and voice ability. Now I am confident of singing in the nude next time (oopss!.. jk jk). Back to the shower. Got out of it after finally realising that time was running out. Took some time to get the smile that I wanted in front of the mirror and took off for the Party. Reached Kelly's place and was greated by a plethora of shoesssss... Woah.. The first thing I thought was this is the not the way it should go. Kelly might just get an idea when she steps in. Immediately I got hold of her father and soon after we formed a line of workers passing out shoes to the boot of the Proton Waja.

It was a moment yet after BEGGGINNGGG Jo Lin to quickly get Kelly back before 9pm. We had ANOTHER HAPPENING party across the neighbourhood and I didn't want to be late to give a hug to Jinny before the night was over. Kelly came home and I was quite sure she teared? Or did her red eyes deceive me yet again? Anyhow, grabbed a few pizza's and was thrown with a few insults here and there by Jo Lin and Mechell. And I have to mention, Mel Win had STYLING CREAM done on his hair. Fuh~ When did Mel Win ever care about his looks? Wait, before you think this is an insult, Mel Win, You need not dress up like a girl, or have make-up on, or have STYLING CREAM, or touch me to feel loved and wanted. You will forever be a cute in Jessica's eyes (I hope). Had a few laughters and LAME LAME pictures taken and bid farewell to the gang and left for Jinny's. The night ain't over BABY!... HERE WE COME... ROAD TRIP!!...

Had my bro drop us at Jinny's. I know this is gonna be weird but he needs SOME appreciation sometimes. Thank You Kor.. ;).. Anyway, got hold of the bell and rang it well. Low and behold we were greeted by a banner that read "Happy Birthday Jinny" and a bald kid below it with his cute fitting red shirt which in Jo Lin's words, made him look gay. It was Jinny!!!... Welcomed us and I quickly got a seat with Jun Wei in the circle of horror. Chengz was just in the midst of sharing with us a "horrifying" Langkawi kid story which turned out to be more of a "let down hair-scare the shit outta ya Scream". Appreciate it Chengz. My inspiration to keep LONG hair next time, I MIGHT just be able to do so too. By this time, Miss Gan and Miss Lee refused to step in for god-knows-what reason. After the story just hang around laughin and catching up with a old friend in which I missssss SOOOOO MUCHHH. It just felt right when the conversation started. Missed those times girl ;) ahh.. and I will remember now!.. 16th January!!.. I couldn't believe my ears when she still could remember mine! How sweet of you. Felt appreciated after a very long time. People left one by one till the 5 of us were left playing Bullshit. Its really called Bullshit/Bluff.. :P. Left Jinny's house at 2am that night because of FORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD BE AVOIDED but SOME people is just plain stubborn. Hahahahahahahahaha...

Most definately I had a great night that day. For the next few days I sent Miew San and Jinny their burfday song copyright of John Lim's voice *shy-nya*. Product of Toilet Concerts again. Another thing I must mention of was my tennis lesson on Saturday morning with Jean Yi, Melissa and Ang Yee!.. Weeeee.. I love Tennis with all my heart! Played a great game that morning and had LOUD laughs. We ended up playing baseball and I even tried imporsinating Maria in her Ad. Remember the one that said "MARIA WAS HERE". We tried stamping "JOHN ROCKS" but failed. Although it rained half way we had a good time laughin with my tennis coach, Mr Pongkarpan. Did I mention he was Thai? A really nice and open minded guy. Another thing I must say is that I never realised that Misbun and Rashid Sidek also trained near by like some 30 steps away. Coach knew them and he had a chat with them. All 4 of us were too shy but Melissa was mesmorized by some Shirtless Ang Moh playing badminton.

Ahh.. Memories. I'm enjoying everyday of my life and yet sometimes I still feel unfulfilled. I just know that there IS something greater that God has instored for me but what is it Lord?

Dear Lord, May you path my ways to your likeness. That one day I may experience your Love so great, greater than no other. That one day I may feel fulfilled and sathisfied. Leave lessons for me each day to grow more and more in your likeness. Though I may fail almost everyday, I know you are there to guide me, pick me and forgive me even as I make mistakes. I want to be full in You. Amen.

Good night my faithful readers. My deepest appreciation and gratitute for visiting my page effortlessly. Much love and hugs. Kisses included at request.

Searching Endlessly,
-jOhN LiM-

Ups or just Downs?

John Lim is officially going to die!.. Arghh..!!.. first of all.. let me update you guys on my previous days and today. Well, the past few days have been rather... errr... UNproductive. Been waking up at 11am plus plus, lie on the couch and play my PS2 all day long.. Well, today was rather an interesting one. Woke up at 9am and left for old town for a ride to get some chips for movie night at cell, however the shop was closed due to the second day of raya as we all know. Dropped by Satellite at Jalan Gasing for a hot bowl of One Ton Mee and left for The Curve with Kelly and Jean Yi to look for a job. Met up at Vivo for their Italian lunch. Met rather "strange" characters and amusing boss. She was a nice pleasant lady with flower prints on her lovely blouse. She had this "accent" too but yet she was very polite and somewhat classy. Asked if there was a job vacancy and yeap she asked us to come back the next day for interview *aint gonna do that~haha*.. We also met this "weird" guy working there. He was actually from my school. Form 6. He is really weird and slow. Sorry if i'm a bit critical. But I couldn't help commenting on him till Kelly got pissed and trust me, it isn't easy to piss Kelly off, right? :P But anyway, left the store and went on a tour-de-curve for a job vacancy. Dropped by stores after stores. Can't name all, forgot.. lolz.. But it was a fair number. Dropped by La Marcet and met Chee Ho and a couple of Form 3 babies which was undenialbly rude to us. He has something againts cute guys.. ;) Dropped by O'Brien. The manager was super rude. Arghh.. a total turn off.. I have to get this clear~ I'm not desperate for the Job neither am I desperate for the money but I just want to make good use of my time to satisfy another's tummy and I have all the rights to CHOOSE and be picky and Gosh~ I SOO totally hate these rude managers. Anyway dropped by to visit Jordan too. The girls said he kept starring at me?.. Haha.. Well, Jordan, I love you too.. HAHAHA! Walked a bit to Ikano, was digusted by the stench at the Pet Store. But they had fasinating snakes and rather SMeLly tortoise. Dropped by the neighbouring music store. Was planning to get a good pair of drumsticks for Jinny Boy for his birthday next week. But sure i know nuts bout drumsticks. Didn't get one at last. Soon we took a cab over to 1U to continue tour-de-1U. But by this time, John turned into some sort of negative monster. All that was admitting from John's mouth was pure discouraging messages. It even got into Jean Yi. She scolded me too :(. They both we're like telling me they have never seen this side of John. They always thought of John as the Fighter and Daredevil that will go all the way. I'm so sorry to disappoint you girls. But gosh, I'm the WORST person you can ever bring if you're gonna find a job. For heaven's sake, please people, don't bring me along if you're gonna look for a job. For some reason, I was so totally discouraging and negative. I was GIVING UP, can u believe it!

Soon after we arive at 1U after choking in the smoke of the smoking cab driver. Thank God he got the hint of me coughing out loud. God, will I ever smoke?.. LOLZ.. Anyway, got down and immediately went job searching again~. Bare in mind, John at this point is a pure sucker. Drop by at Jack's Place for a peek at Jun Wei. She did look weird in her oversize white shirt but hey, I wouldn't mind dining at a restaurant with a hot waitress. Would you?.. Next stop, MPH. Met Su San and Liu Qing. They were both complaining to was super boring. Alas it was everyone else's break time. A few of them gathered and we had tea time at A&W with Jun Wei, Mechell, Tien Chuen, Jean Yi, Kelly, and of course Me joined by Liu Qing later on. Had a good time listening to their bizarre waitress stories. All the spillings and trips to Jun Wei's extraordinary Fat-man experience. She had trip at least 3 times and landed on in the arms of that REALLY REALLY FAT man as she describes. Soon it was time they had to drag themselves back and we continued out tour-de-1U. It was our last stop. John Lim at this point was at the verge of giving up. We took our last shot at Dave's Deli. They directed us to Okra upstairs because it was the same management it seemed. So we went up and met up with the manager. It was a rather weird clash of personalities. Here was the conversation:

John : Excuse me Sir, I was just curious if there was a job vacancy for the 3 of us. *charming smile*
Mr Phang : Oh Curiosity kills the cat you know.

*what the $%&#$* HAHAHA... thats the first.. there were more to come like really weird statements and out of topic questions like which church we attended and really weird statements. I had a feeling he was all out to SCARE us saying its gonna be realy tough and how thick skin are we and all asking how long does it take for a tear to tear down if someone scolds us and stuff. He even had some grading system that if we only "worth" RM3 he would only pay us RM3 and if we "worthed" RM6 then he will pay us RM6. *what the #$%#*. He used that term, WORTHED.. hhaha.. but somehow his statements and so to say "discouragements" seem to push us more. Somehow we all felt even more motivated to work harder. But I guess I'm determined to make the most of it la. Gonna prove to him, Jean Yi, and Kelly I'm no quitter and whimp. Left 1U today feeling accomplished at the last minute.

Ahh, next. Came back at bout 6 and got ready for cell. Cell tonight was gonna be at my place. It's movie night and we were all excited that we were gonna watch Deuce Bigolow:European Gigolo. Got the coach in place, got the drinks ready and cell members brought chips. Watched the first few minutes of the show and tragedy. I shall not mention what but we decided it was best we switched movie to Hot Chick. Had a few laughes. Hope they enjoyed it. ;P However I learnt something really important tonight.
1. Screen through movies before allow young kids view.
2. Roll up carpet before crowd comes
3. Never have chips+lights off. Conclusion, chips on floor.

Well, I guess I'll have to call it a night. This day had its ups and downs. Looking forward to the next few ones. Tennis lessons tomorrow!.. Woohoo!.. Anyone interested?.. Lolz.. But I've learnt alot today. But the one thing I want to improve on is that I think sometimes I'm too critical and maybe just a pure whimp. Guess Jean Yi and Kelly really got to see the complaisent John. But thats me. But it really hit me that they saw me a Fighter. I really do want to live up to that expectation. Sorry if I disappointed some of you guys, but hey, there's room for much much more improvements. Thanx Kelly and Jean Yi for hitting that into me. Appreciate me. Everyday a better day, everyday a better John!
Note to self: John You suck!..haha

Motivated,
-jOhN "suck" LiM-
