I'm a fan of...

Louis Koo. But don't get me wrong. I'm not those teenage girls running-screaming-sticking posters all over the room kinda fan. I'm just a very ordinary lady who enjoys to have a bit of entertainment news of Louis Koo now and then of how he goes about in his life and movies that he is in or going to be in. I watched most of his movies. I might missed one or two but i watched most of them. And of cuz, have to admit that he is very 耐看 type of guy. Even hubby thinks he looks so man with just a simple pose. Link to his blog is now added to my list.


Well, I still think Richard Gere is a hottie!! ^_*

When u've nothing better to do

Down the Via Dolorosa & The Passion of Christ

(Music video and lyrics of Via Dolorosa by Sandi Patti, Music video Scenes from Passion of Christ by Mel Gibson)

When i searched for this piece of song cuz i sang it in choir before and to my delight, it came together with this heart-aching yet touching movie (in video clip) that for once, it shook the whole world. It reminded we people that He had died for us all. Once and for all. I am not ashame to admit that i cried together with my other friends in the cinema watching this movie. I was and am very thankful for the grace of God for not forsaking me when i was deep down in the valley endless of times.

I
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The man condemned to die on calvary

II
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon his back
And he wore a crown of thorns upon his head
And he bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for his death..
Chorus:
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to calvary.

III
Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Hesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz

IV
Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al calvario ya morir

Bridge:
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.
Coda:
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of his love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
hmmmmm..hm……hhhhmm…………..

It's a new look

Well, not really new. I used to have this kind of bob hair style when i was still in teenage years. Dull and boring. But then fashion tends to have picked it up again. And call it Bob. I am not too much into fashion and the main reason i cut my over-shoulder length permed hair to this length is that i can't stand the heat wave that is striking Kuching now. I sweat every now and then. Very unlike me. So, it's the best to keep to this length now and i'll get a head of new grown, healthy hair in no time.

I'm sick again. Once in every month from August until October and i think i can foresee that i'll be sick next month as well. Around the same time. I should get a MC (magical cert) for a foreseeable illness next month. Nothing much different. Started off with sore throat, then cough a bit, then cough more and get more vigorous and ended up with runny nose and cough-til-vomit kind of coughs. Yes. I went thru all that. I dont know what's wrong with me. After this illness, i'll go and get a FULL and VERY COMPLETE health checkup. I haven't actually done that in as many years as i could recall.

Poking fun at M'sia local school

Believe it or not, M'sia's education standard is way below where it should be. Students, especially from Chinese and Malay school, have very poor skill when it comes to spelling, let alone writing a whole set of composition out. Those parents who have extra money will then send their kids to tuition schools for extra English lesson, hoping that their kids can learn something more than merely ABC in their local schools.

In the end, all the responsibility fall on the teachers in these English tuition centres to turn those kids into some English experts. Poor tuition centre teachers! Those kids spent the 5 weekdays and most of the hours in their schools and 3 pathetic hours during Saturday in tuition class and yet parents are hoping their kids would turn out to be genius in English once they come out from that classroom. Parents, use your brains can or not. The learning process takes on all aspects you know?

First of all, their main education in school is all in Malay or Chinese. They adopt to them really well and turn out that they don't like it when it comes to English subject. They will then tend to break the syllables just like how they read in Malay. For example, the word 'together' is to be read in a continuous pattern. But kids from those schools will read it as 'to-get-her'. It's just a laughing stock. It's a sad fact in Asian coutries.

Secondly, not every kid likes English and if they don't have any interest on it, not to mention that they'll even bother to do the homework. They just don't seem to be bothered by what their teachers have yelled the lungs out in front of the class. Teachers are making themselves look like parrots, repeating what have already been said. Without completing their homework and learning through the mistakes, they're heading nowhere. It's impossible for teachers to pay attention on the kids 24/7. Parents are the one who should at least put some effort in to make their kids at least to finish their homework if not guiding through their learning process.

Thirdly, there are only 3 hours allocated per week for them to learn proper English so be considerate, you bunch of selfish adults out there! Encourage your kids instead of pushing your kids like how your parents did to you Ice Age ago!

To show you, this is the spelling test of one of my 11 years old student:

I was stoned. Speechless for at least 1 min looking at the big 0 i marked on the page. Is this the result of the student being lazy, parents didn't do their part as educator at home or the kid is just plain stupid? I'd gone through the spelling list to all of them for 'n' times and kept reminding them for two weeks they were going to have the test and out of nowhere, i got this 0 by the end of the day. Seriously, i'm so cold-hearted.

Disturbed

It's never easy to spot a friend (good friend) that you can talk to and chat about anything to your heart's content. You don't feel there's any barrier between you and that friend. I 'thought' i have found a friend like that some time ago. It shouldn't be wrong.

Friend, what happened to you? I sms-ed and missed calls you for 'N' times and there's no single reply from you. I am not worried if i've said anything or done anything wrong but i am more concerned if something happen to you and you keep the distance away from me. I sensed that something is not right here. Or i'm just over-reacting. But, hopefully, I am right that i'm just over-reacting 'cuz i pray that everything is safe and sound with you.

Worried Friend.

Well, i just found out that she is a bit clumsy with handling of her belongings. She might have already lost the phone somewhere under her bed or have it stuck in the narrow opening between the matress and the backrest =_=" *cold sweat*
