prayers for my lil cousin

i guess this happens as a shock to everyone in the family. where should i begin with? mum called me this evening at bout 6 smth. i just woke up at that time. kinda "stim" and duh duh. but when she broke the news to me, i was wide awake.

benjie, my 5 yrs old cute lil cousin, is admitted to hospital to undergo an operation. well i don't really know how to tell you what's wrong with him, but i'm worried sick now. there is nothing i could do right now. bel offered to fetch me to the hospital, but...i don't know. i mean even if i go there, i can do nothing.

the only thing i can really do right now i to pray for him. hope that everything will be fine. well pals, if u guys are reading my blog, pls do pray for benjie too ok? thank you. i really need you guys to pray together with me that he'll be alright.

i've nothing much to say as for now. will update u guys if there's anything.

yee haw!!!

itz me back in pg. hahaha! came back yesterday nia. after fsa tutorial, al, yon, parkking and i went back home to pack our things. at 2.30pm, bel fetched us to serdang ktm. from there we went to kl central and took another lrt to reach masjid jamek. walked bout 10mins before reaching pudu. phew. it was really hot and we were all sweating profusely.

damn! the tickets to pg were fully sold out. i wonder what's the occasion why everyone seems to be rushing back to pg. al and i went to numerous counters asking and waiting before "hitting d jackpot". most of da counters dat i asked said that tix to pg were not available. either that at 7pm, 8pm or even midnite. OMG! this couldn't be happening. i WANT to go back to pg no matter what.

finally, after asking bout 10 or more booths, i landed on da rite one. thk god. after asking, the man said "ada ticket. sekarang. mau?" of course i answered yes la. abo i wun be in pg rite now.

well the my adventurous journey has yet to end here. after buying the tix, al and i happily went to platform 16 to wait for our express bus. then suddenly this young man came and approached al. he said he bought the tix to pg and the bus was supposed to arrive at 4.30pm. we were kinda surprised as our bus number and his was da same but the man told me the bus would be arriving at 5pm. then another lady came up to us and said that she was going to SP. the most ridiculous thing was that her bus number was also the same as ours. shit! i mean how could dat happen? SP and pg? da same bus? holy shit!!

after waiting for bout 10-15minutes, a man came. he was hollering "bus nombor 5816 ikut saya." so we ma followed him lo. and here comes da greatest part of all. guess what happened? i paid a good RM30 expecting an express bus with comfy seats and functioning aircond. this was what i personally thought i would be getting. and then reality hit me hard. TADA!! a SCHOOL BUS!!!! can you believe it? RM30 for a sch bus? it must be da biggest joke ever. i was like "oh no! it couldn't be daaaaaat bus."

"penang sila naik bas sekolah" was wat the man said. fark! al and i were fuming mad at that time. if u were with us, u'd be able to see da smoke emitting from our heads. cilakak betui! but what can we do? it was either a take-it-or-leave-it decision as to go back to pg or to wait for a few more hrs for da next bus. it wasn't really a choice for us tho. i mean who la wants to wait only god knows how long rite?

went up tp the sch bus and took da seats in d middle. thk god da aircond was functioning. not very cold la but still acceptable lo. well the seats were kinda uncomfortable as it wasn't as spacious as those of the express bus. sigh. what could we do? nevertheless, we were considered lucky oso la compared to yon and parkking who were once forced to take a bas kilang to butterworth (dat was during CNY la).

reached pg bout 11.30pm. phew. at long last we were home jor. dad and mom came to pick me up at the new bus station near pesta. took us to sany char koay teow for our dinner a.k.a supper. hehe. we both ordered 2 koay teow besar and limau ais. yum yum. sany's ckt is one of the best koay teow in pg.

and now, well it's actually way past my bed time jor. i hv an appoinment wif my dentist this mornin at 9am and now it's already 3am jor. haha. mum gonna screams at me if she knows bout it tmrw (ooppss no longer tmrw. itz TODAY). but once in a blue moon ma let her scold lo. but she ng seh tak to really scold me oso la. cos i only come back once a while nia ma. hehe. i noe she misses me cos i miss her too.

anyway, i had a superb time yesterday. went to swatow lane wif kwang to mum mum ice kacang. then he intro-ed 2 of his frens to me. to be precise 1 fren nia la cos the other one was my senior back in high sch. her name is yee von. and d other guy is called wen tuan. hehe. after makan, we headed to pc fair lo. din buy anything oso la. saje followed them nia la since i had got nth better to do ma. btw angel, mr.felix bought a new maroon proton aeroback 1.5.

he then dropped me off at the church of lady of sorrow beside heng ee primary. sch. had dinner wif dad and mum at 5 tiau lor. ate chu char. food ok lo. then reached home bout 9pm. hadn't got time to bathe cos jen will be coming to fetch me at 9.15pm onwards. wah lau eh...suddenly bz till no time to pom pom.

jen only arrived at 9.50pm. shit. i shd had taken my bath. too late. went to fetch kwang from his hse. then off we pigi coffee bean at belisa row there. shared a regular ice blended mocha wif al. we were having a great time laughing our arses off. u noe la, silly jokes and stunts and expressions. haha.

11.45pm. dropped kwang off at his hse. since we were in farlim, we decided to visit anu. went to her hse chit-chatted for about 45mins then bla d lo.

don't jz hope..decide

hey guys...i copied this from friendster's bulletin board...go on and read it..itz meaningful!!
While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about- the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly.

This one occurred a mere two-feet away from me.

Straining to locate my friend among the passengers deplaning through the jet way, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.

First he motioned to his youngest son (maybe six years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave
each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other's face, I heard the
father say, "It's so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!" His son smiled somewhat shyly, averted his eyes and replied softly, "Me, too, Dad!"

Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his oldest son (maybe nine or ten) and while cupping his son's face in his hands said, "You're already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zach!" They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.

While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or one-and-a-half) was squirming excitedly in her mother's arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father.

The man said, "Hi, baby girl!" as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment.

After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared, "I've saved the best for last!" and proceeded to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember
seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed. "I love you so
much!" They stared at each other's eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both
hands.

For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they
couldn't possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally engrossed I was
in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm's length away from me.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask, "Wow! How long have you two been married?"

"Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those." he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife's face. "Well then, how long have you been away?" I asked.

The man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile. "Two whole days!" Two
days? I was stunned. By the intensity of the greeting, I had assumed he'd been gone for at
least several weeks-if not months. I know my statement betrayed me.

I said almost offhandedly, hoping to end my intrusion with some semblance of grace (and to get back to searching for my friend), "I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!"

The man suddenly stopped smiling. He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that
burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person. He told me, "Don't hope, friend . . . decide!" Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said, "God bless!"

With that, he and his family turned and strode away together. I was still watching that exceptional man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and
asked, "What 'cha looking at?" Without hesitating, and with a curious sense of certainty, I
replied, "My future!"
