The End of a Second Dream

March 29th, 2008 by alexkoekimhoe

2 years have passed since the first dream came to a miserable end. What I went through during that 2 years had its ups and downs. I failed an exam, suffered in agony to get through that particular year 2006, so that I can begin a new life, starting from 2007 onwards. In 2007, my character had changed, I improved my ways of life, understand people a little more, believing that I could do things that was difficult or impossible to me earlier in my life. It came at a price though, as it was balanced out with obtaining a terrible attitude which includes selfishness, vengefulness, massive rage, and to make matters worse, sinning. Was I a good Christian in these 2 years? Definitely not, for how could a Christian have those sinful thoughts and behaviour and disobedience to God? 2007 gave me alot of personal achievements, but that year also took away my good nature, my sense of reasoning, my friendliness towards others and instilled myself with evil thoughts and actions. I would never have forgiven myself, but I continued on…

The year 2008 began, with the same character I have till now. Would I ever be punished for this? Yes, indeed, and deservingly so. With all the sinning, the vengence I have, the burning rage, all these will come to a drastic end. The Second Dream was very close, it was achievable, but similarly to the First Dream, I was not fated to achieve it. Fate is so essential, but more importantly, my actions to get back my faith will determine my future undertakings. God is righteous, and I deserved to have those 2 dreams shattered, without any apparent salvages. As of before, the Second Dream, came to a fateful end.   

The definition of ‘Absence’

November 2nd, 2007 by alexkoekimhoe

Absence is a word, to describe loss presence, being of total ignorance, to be not there or in Friendster’s Blog case, not uploading any more blogs…

Ya, after 2 months since d 1st Euro Trip, I haven’t upload any stories or pics frm Munich, Salzburg, Prague, Berlin n Frankfurt…lol…jus 2 occupied wif some important stuff, namely work, projects, football, dota, but lazy oso..nways, will update soon enuf…

1st 2 days at work….at Hampden Park…

September 8th, 2007 by alexkoekimhoe

Ahh, just a week after d end of Sem 6, now jus awaiting d start of my Euro Trip wif d gang of 14ppl (not 2 mention d Sem 6 results)…Well, instead of spending d time at home jus lazing around, playing games, n always not getting enuf rest, i might as well go n work, n my 1st assignment(Fri 7th Sept), setting up d tables in multiple suites at Hampden Park Stadium. D tasks were not really taxing, like polishing wine glasses, dealing wif cutleries n moving tables, but d fact is me n my frens did not get enuf sleep d nite before n in combination wif a super disorganized supervisor n a vry arrogant young Scottish co-worker(she thinks she’s a big boss n treat us like dogs), it was a big hindrance. 10 hours of continuous work was not wat we expected as it was supposed 2 b a 4 hour shift, but anyways, it was definitely worth d pay.

D next day(Sat 8th Sept), being a hawker at Hampden Park for d Euro 2008 qualifier btw Scotland n Lithuania, wif 52,000 fans in d standium, my gosh… I was supposed 2 b a till worker, but anyways, being a hawker n selling steak pies, Capri orange juice, mars n twix bars was much better coz we get 2 c part of d match 4 free, n oso worked 2gether wif a young teenage Scottish girl… 2 bad d shift was jus a mere 3 hours n vry little pay…at least i got a 1 pound tip,hehe…

Too tired 2 elaborate more, anyways, here r some pics tat i was not supposed 2 take while on duty, hehe…naughty naughty…

Linda Chung Kar Yan

April 13th, 2007 by alexkoekimhoe

     I jus realise i didn’t mention tat Ah San(Linda Chung Kar Yan) from "Always Ready" is so darn beautiful…Ok i won’t exaggerate…She is a simple n gorgeous girl tat can really act…definitely 1 of a kind…Lol…n found out she is not from hong kong but a miss chinese pageant winner from vancouver, canada. D wonder la, western…tats y…oh well, jus a favourite actress…Haha… no more dreaming  liao…Back to reality…

Always Ready - Best drama so far tis year..

April 12th, 2007 by alexkoekimhoe

      Well, i did say i will write a review about last year, 2006, but anyways, screw it… Past year is d history n already passed, so nothing more to be said… People do ask things concerning last year, n if they do wan to ask irrational questions, i will give irrational answers jus like Matt Sir (Ekin Cheng) in "Always Ready". Lol… Anyways, on to d future…

       A seriously entertaining n knowledgable show about relationship, teamwork n  professionallism or ethics, but this show lacks abit of those touching moments i love from my all time favourite chinese dramas. Well, compensated though by an upcoming brilliant new actress Ah San(dunno her name but will find out). Style n acting-wise is totally different from d common actresses, n i love it. Lol… Well, more on d storyline, its just pure genius as i never knew working in a government flying service is a true professional job with its highs n lows. Teamwork is so important, n i definitely will benefit from this show n its other qualities. Makes me wonder why i choose pharmacy. Haha. Anyways, u won’t get tis sort of working environment in malaysia’s flying service. Also makes me wish i was born in hong kong n can become a pilot like Ben, or a saving crew like Matt. Or maybe some youngsters like Kelvin, Derek etc…Haha, dreaming again. Oh well, at this time i’m watching d repeat of d last episode at 2am… I jus dun like how Wah Lai Toi con me(n everyone i guess) tat Matt Sir was gonna die in d show…Lucky Ah San. Lol… N i would love to watch tis drama again n again. Hope more dramas will b as great as tis.

As Nikki would say, everything is "tim tim"…

Linkin Park - What I’ve Done… Football n Dota lor…

What I’ve Done Lyrics
Artist(Band):Linkin Park

In This Farewell, There’s No Blood
There’s No Alibi
Cuz I’ve Drawn Regret, From The Truth
Of A Thousand Lies
So Let Mercy Come, And Wash Away

What I’ve Done
I’ll Face Myself
To Cross Out What I’ve Become
Erase Myself
And Let Go Of What I’ve Done

Put To Rest
What You Thought Of Me
Well I Clean This Slate
With The Hands Of Uncertainty

So Let Mercy Come, And Wash Away

What I’ve Done
I’ll Face Myself
To Cross Out What I’ve Become
Erase Myself
And Let Go Of What I’ve Done

For What I’ve Done

I Start Again
And Whatever Pain May Come
Today This Ends
I’m Forgiving What I’ve Done

I’ll Face Myself
To Cross Out What I’ve Become
Erase Myself
And Let Go Of What I’ve Done

What I’ve Done

Forgiving What I’ve Done

Last Christmas…well, jus a few hours ago…

December 25th, 2006 by alexkoekimhoe

I dunno why, but i just love these two Christmas songs for this year…the song ‘Last Christmas’ n the carol ‘Christmas isn’t Christmas…’ maybe its the slow, melodic n sad tune, n also the meaningful lyrics… anyhow, this Christmas marks a very good start to the end of a forgettable 2006, but for 2007, n my old/new friends, n Glasgow, here i come…

Last Christmas Lyrics

CHORUS: x2
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again

CHORUS x2

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
O my I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A girl under cover but you tore me apart (tore me apart)
Now I’ve found a real love you’ll never fool me again

CHORUS x2

A friend to discover with a fire in her heart
A girl under cover but you tore me apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone

Christmas isn’t Christmas…

Chorus

Christmas isn’t Christmas

Till it happens in your heart

Somewhere deep inside you

Is where Christmas really starts

So give your heart to Jesus

You’ll discover when you do

That it’s Christmas really Christmas for you

Jesus brings warmth like a winter fire

A light like a candle’s glow

He’s waiting now to come inside

As He did so long ago

Jesus brings gifts of truth and life

And makes them bloom and grow

So welcome Him with a song of joy

And when He comes you’ll know, that…

Chorus

And here are some pics this Christmas (too bad didn’t take any during Carolling n Christmas service…
