Goon Family Pictures

This is Me.

I touched my mouse, it was icky and oily. My mom had been on my laptop all day, playing Plants vs. Zombies. My aunt had brought over a big pot full of siu yok earlier. So I asked my mom, "MOM! Did you eat siu yok, didn't wash hand straightaway play computer??"

And she said, "I wash! I licked it (her fingers)..."
*Cheeky smile*

Lim Me Lon

I think her father wanted her to be "Melanie", but he didn't know how to spell.

My sister saw the picture and said that she wanted to take picture too, because she's cute, and cute girls usually like being in pictures.

Jeannette Goon

See! Got mustache wei! When I asked her how she makes the mustache come out, she told me, "I practice making faces in the mirror."

So anyway, I told me brudder to take 'cute' picture too, but he don't want, because he's "too handsome". In the end I had to take stealth picture.

Abel Goon, me brudder

His hair naturally stands like that. Wiry, it is. He was using my laptop, and he was smiling because he was CRUSHING his opponent in Naruto Arena.

One more family member!

Jacob

There are a whole bunch of blurry pictures of me chasing him around the house and grabbing him trying to camwhore, in the end, he tired, and finally I got a clear picture. Whoo~

Exams are near...

That means holidays are too! Whoo!

But I should blog less, yes.

But studying all day is lame, so I put up a game.

Play Amorphous! It's the funnest!

Dream

I was wrestling with a girl in her room, and then somehow we were kissing on her bed. Then our shirts were off... and I thought to myself, "Nice dream... Nice dream..."

But then suddenly she asked, "Is it up yet?"

So I checked, and to my horror, it was most certainly not up.

"What more do you want?!" she said.

I mumbled something along the lines of "I'm trying my best..."

***

Then her mother walked into the room. I panicked and said, "We weren't doing anything!"

And she bitterly agreed, "Yeah, we weren't, alright."

***

I woke up feeling incredibly disappointed with myself.

BSF-Bible Study Fellowship

It's really fun. This was one section of today's group discussion. Answers are in italics, some additional thoughts are in brackets.

DAILY BIBLE STUDY WITH QUESTIONS FOR GROUP DISCUSSION

Third Day: Read Deuteronomy 4-11.

5. From Deuteronomy 4:15-31, what does it mean that God is a jealous God?
He will be angry if they worship other gods.

(Once, I thought, "Why should God be jealous if He's the one and only real God?"... But now I realize, if my wife preferred to masturbate rather than have sex with me, I'd be pretty bummed.)


6. a. From Deuteronomy 4:32-35, what special privileges were given to Israel?
They were God's own people. They were protected, and shown signs and wonders.

b. Why was Israel shown all these things?
Because God loved their forefathers; Abraham, Issac, and Jacob (aka Israel).

(Once, I thought, "Damn, God sure is racist." But now I realize that there actually is a valid reason for the favoritism! Those men walked with God, they were His friends, and God promised to prosper their descendants.)


c. Name the special privileges God has given you.
I'm sexy.

Early Birthday Presents

I've been getting food (as birthday presents) since Thursday. *Pinches flabs*

But today, Dexter (who is Dixon's younger brother (Dixon will get a post all about him one day soon)) heard that it was going to be my birthday, so he decided to give me some toys that he doesn't want anymore.

First was a wooden pistol that shoots rubber bands. I shot myself a few times, "ooOOOo it's quite pain," I realized. Then I ran around the house for a while, shooting at imaginary baddies while laughing maniacally.

Then Dexter revealed the next present, NUNCHUCKS!!

After hitting my head for the second time, I have decided that I will train with some less-hard nunchucka before going back to those. Tie my slippers together or something.

Has caught my attention lately...

"One of the main barriers to problem solving can be inflexible thinking, not being able to break out of a set pattern of thinking to look at the problem in a different way."

"Before you make your mind up, open it."

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Let go of preconceptions, the fixed patterns and structures of the world. Be flexible, fluid. Renew my mind.

***

"It is often assumed that group decisions are better than individual ones. In fact this is not the case. Sometimes group decisions can be poor because of groupthink. In groupthink, group cohesion is maintained at the expense of critically evaluating decisions."


***

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman."

"It’s too much to ask for someone who will be my closest friend, my lover, my master, my slave. Someone to have, to hold, and to make plenty of babies with. Someone who will be by my side for eternity, after death reunites us. I’m asking for too much, I’m sure, but I’m not going to settle for anything less."

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her..."

Sometimes I wish I had Running Shoes

My next thought is almost always, "If I had never worn shoes, I wouldn't be so weak to need it."

What else do we not need? What are the things we can't live without, what are the things giving us comfort, and what is only holding us back? I know kids that are perpetually bored without some form of electronic entertainment. I know guys that can't even masturbate without the aid of pornography! We can't even kill bears without weapons, or catch fish with bare hands. Sigh

How about money? I was just thinking about Peter's obsession about it (always making up games that has some form of monetary punishment) and I realized, money has no value besides that which humans ascribe to it. You can't eat it, you can't use it to make anything else (besides stars, and little paper hats and what not), you can't write on it, it's not very good as toilet paper...

If not for its ability to be used, it would have no use... What would happen, if suddenly, money had no meaning, and it became nothing more than multicolored paper...

***

When I woke up this morning at 6 a.m., I felt the aches in my body, and I went back to sleep thinking, "I'll run to Monash another day."

Then I woke up again at 6:13, and I thought of the children in Africa. Do they have a choice on how to go to school? No, they have to run 50 km to school everyday, and 30 km to the nearest watering hole, and 100 km to the phone booth to call their girl/boyfriend. (I don't have the exact numbers)



I also remembered that I had told Brandon and Jeannette that I would run to Monash. And it's not manlily to go back on my word.

Also, googlemaps says that it's only 11 km to Monash from my house.

Also, YaoYun said "run jared run..." in my cbox...

And my final reason is: I am awesome. Yes, click the link.

So I left my house at 6:43 a.m. feeling good, after having a cup of Instant Nutritious Meal Plan and a nice, long stretching session under a hot shower (to get the aches out). In the end, I made it to Monash at 8:34 a.m., 26 minutes less than googlemaps' prediction. But the prediction was for walking, and I ran a bit. Yes, I only ran a bit.

From the start, I decided that googlemaps did not show the shortest way, because there are all those back alleys and what not that must be quicker. So I decided to take the straightest way possible from my house to the NPE (New Pantai Expressway). I should have realized that a lot of back alleys are really old and the tar on the roads would have worn off leaving a bed of stones... My feet are really bruised now.

I reached Old Klang Road. Unlike Bandar Sunway, most of the sidewalks in Klang Valley are covered with small little itty bitty stones. For short distances, they're fine, but when the same spot gets poked repeated you start to feel it... Yeah, it was quite hard and painful. Sigh so weak my sole.

I saw an old man trying to cross the road at the corner, he kept sticking his head out trying to see if there was any car coming, but by the time he leaned back on his cane to start walking, there would be a car coming and he would have to stop, and stick his head out again... I was wondering how he was still so clueless at crossing the street, he should just take another step forward to get a better view, or move further away from the corner. Finally he managed to cross the street at a time when there really was absolutely no cars. Then I realized, "Oh no, I should have helped him."

So I decided to help the next person I saw that needed help. 5 minutes later, a car with a Malay couple in it came rolling up beside me, and they had a cardboard box stuck in between their tire and the body of the car (I don't know what that place is called). So I bent down, and pulled it out. Whee.

Then I passed the toll. And I saw the NPE ramp leading to Bandar Sunway going up, and no way to get to it. And even if I did get to it, there would be no place to walk. But I decided that as long as I could keep it in sight, it should be fine, so I just kept walking, trying to follow it. There was even a time when I was running underneath it...

Soon the ramp came back down and I was back on the NPE, but now I was on the right side, and after the toll (this time it's the going back from Sunway toll), there suddenly came a point when there was no way forward, there was simply no place to walk. So I went back to the toll plaza and asked the dude there, "Hey Uncle, how do I walk to Sunway?"

He told me to walk on the other side... "Just walk through the toll booths, and cross the road on the other side. Then go straight all the way."
Yay! Two firsts in one go. I have never walked through toll booths (sideways that is, I had my first first walking through toll booth going straight earlier), and I don't think I've ever crossed a highway. =3

After that, it was straight all the way.

I just took a bath in the handicapped people toilet. I used hand soap.

I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to run I want to

I wouldn't encourage you to run on the road beside the sewage ponds opposite Monash University at night. You know, that one with the abandoned shoplots.

Why? Because I was chased by three dogs there tonight while running back to Monash from Rock Cafe...

Good thing there are quite a lot of stones on the ground...

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

But what if it kills you?

Vow

I won't eat my words.

What do you want in a Man?

A woman put out a personal ad in the paper: "Looking for a man that will never hit me, won't run away, and will always keep me happy.

The next day her doorbell rang. When she went to answer the door, there was a man in the wheelchair there. He had no arms or legs.

He said, "I'm here to answer the ad. As you can see, I can't hit you, or run away."

"But what about keeping me happy?" She asked.

"I rang the doorbell, didn't I?" *hornybrows*

The Bible

is a boat, once the river has been crossed, do not continue to carry it on your back.

Bright Eyes.

Yesterday I saw the bright shining eyes of a curious and questioning man. A man that had found a question, an "I don't know".

May my life be filled with "I don't know"s. I pray my eyes will always be that of a wondering child.

May they never be filled with the soulless burn of the fanatic, the robot that is unable to change its programming, and knows that all it has in its mind is enough.

Even worse the dull eyes of livestock, that spend their lives content to graze where they are driven.

Lost

"We're lost."

"No, no, we're not. We just don't know where we're going. I know exactly where we are, and I know how to get back to where we were."

"The definition of the word 'Lost' is: having gone astray or missed the way; bewildered as to place, direction, etc. We do not know where we are going, we've left the correct path, so we are lost. "

"Ah? So we are lost according to your dictionary. According to me, we are NOT lost."

"You can't decide what words mean! The dictionary decides!"

"Someone wrote the dictionary. What set that person apart? Why is it that we all need to fall in line with the meanings that person attached to words? Why can't we free ourselves from such boundaries? The first step to change is to change your thinking, my friend, and you're still thinking in English."

I never want my woman to submit to me simply because she is a woman.

Fight me till we're both blue in the face, second-guess me, scrutinize my every decision. If I'm right, I'm right. If I'm wrong, then we will find the right answer together.

God is Everything

He created the world, set it into motion. He has a Plan, a Will that will come to pass. He knows us from before the womb, knows our every step, and has prepared a place for those that He has chosen. Bla bla bla.

Today the speaker said, "He has chosen us! We wouldn't be sitting here if He hadn't set our identities! Our faith itself is a gift."

So I asked, "What about the transsexuals? The rapists? Isn't it God who chose their identities?"

And he replied, "Oh no. THAT is not from God."

***

It astonishes me, the number of "intelligent" people that are able to live in denial, ignoring this issue or making excuses to get around it. How can someone say that there is such a thing as something that is NOT from God, while at the same time believing that God created Everything?

God created the world.

God knew everything that would happen, because He set everything into motion.

Therefore anything and everything that happens was intended by God to happen.

***

Why are some Christians so afraid to admit that God is responsible? Responsible for all the terrible shit that has happened and is happening?

Why are they unable to see that God allowed Sin to come into this world?

Yes Free Will. Ooh free will. He already knew that Adam and Eve would eat the fruit when He put it in the garden. Why did He put it there? The only reason: He INTENDED them to eat the fruit and bring Sin into the world.

I cracked: Day 3, spent money.

Dry Curry Chicken Noodles! My downfall!!

What a waste I tell you, later on I went for a Staff-Student-Meeting and there was lots of food in really cool microwavable containers. I took 3 packs.

I'll have INSTANT NUTRITIOUS MEAL PLAN for dinner. HeeHee.

Sandwiches, Supplements, and Cheerleading, Day 2 of No Money

I stumbled out of class, shivering from starvation and the cold. An angel appeared before me and said, "Jared, have my sandwich."

A tomato, lettuce, and cheese oh glorious cheese sandwich.

Then my sister bought me a roti kosong at Medan. Now I was REALLY full.

But when I went for my next class, my lecturer asked me to go down to the Psychology seminar that was going on at the basement, and call any students that were from my class to come up. When I went down, they told me that they weren't going for class. I didn't want to waste the trip, so eventhough I was already full, I took a plateful of noodles and sandwiches.

I'm overeating, WITHOUT money! OMG! *Pinches tummy fats*

I redeemed myself during dinner.

Chilling Hike

Warning: This post is very long, has no pictures, and is for me to remember how awesome I am. So be prepared. Like a Scout.

EDIT: GO LOOK AT THE PICTURES! *CLICK*

***

At 7 a.m., Friday, 2nd of October 2009, Karl, SuYin, GeneLih, Wilson, Eric, Brandon, and Jared gathered at Monash University to go to Sungai Chilling to hike and have lunch at a waterfall.

Suyin was the only girl. She was loving all the attention, all them guys clamoring to carry her bag, hold her hand, and grab her ass (only if she fell, to save her). She wore her sexy skorts. That pair of shorts that pretends to be a skirt.

GeneLih was late so Karl and Jared went to go get some roti canai. One time, instead of paying attention to the road, Karl was somehow busy gazing at Jared.
Karl: What's with that smile on your face! That smirk! It's a smirk that says "I'm Jared ooo I'm great I'm awesome muahaha".

***

We got lost. Actually we saw the place, but it didn't look like the place, so we kept driving on. And we continued on some winding road that apparently was heading to some other place like Camerons or Genting. Some friendly people who were Christians (Suyin noticed that the woman was holding a Christian dvd, and wearing a Christian shirt) told us that we had missed the place. This pattern of taking the hard way, and having to backtrack, would be repeated multiple times that day.

***

Yay! We were at the place! There was a big map there, that none of us read, which probably contributed to us getting lost so many times. Before we went in, the rest of the guys paid 50 sens to use the toilet, I have no idea why. I ran ahead of the group to pee twice during the hike. Yes, I could go much faster than them. I ran ahead many times for no reason too. But twice, it was to pee.

But it's only because they were all wearing the wrong shoes. If they were barefoot like me, they would have been faster too!

I shall tell you why.

The went the wrong way right from the very beginning. It suddenly became very hard, and we had to climb up down and around some rather scary rock formations. I was praying hard for the rest of them the entire time, and Brandon nearly died. In the end he only got some nasty wounds. I had a lot of fun though. It was super super fun.

There was one time when Suyin (who is afraid of heights but loves climbing mountains) got stuck and had nowhere to go. I could hear her panicked breathing from 10 feet away. At this point, I think I kinda panicked too and for a moment was about to jump down to her. Well, I didn't. I'm still alive woohoo.

So I quickly climbed down to where she was and made sure I was firmly in place, then I told her to grab my hand. She didn't.

Instead she slid down to land on some branch half a foot below her. She couldn't have known that I had a firm and tested outcropping under one foot. I really was quite inexperienced. Before I had found that outcropping I had tried to anchor myself by slamming my fingers deep into a patch of sand and small stones nearby. Only after I had dug my fingers all the way in did I realize it probably wouldn't hold two people's weight.

Anyway, the conclusion, Suyin doesn't trust people easily, and I found it much easier to climb around those rocks than the others... Cause I was not wearing shoes muahaha.

***

We backtracked and got onto the right trail. But somehow we got onto another wrong trail. This one was really tough, with lots of steep inclines, and narrow underused paths. It was slippery and one time I nearly fell down... But I grabbed a tree root with my toes and was fine. Muahaha.

***

The "shortcut" took us past all the crossings we were supposed to make (six). And the first time we saw the river, we were already right beside the waterfall! Whoo! I was at the back, taking care of Brandon, who was really tired and disheartened, probably because there was only one girl in the group. I could see it on his face, he was thinking "Why is Jared with me, instead of some hot babe. Look at that self-satisfied smirk on his face whenever he stops to wait for me. That smirk says "I'm Jared, I'm awesome, Muahaha". He was almost going to tell us to go on without him (which we wouldn't have done) but instead of going on, we had lunch!

***

Then we went to the waterfall and took pictures. Everyone was very happy and energetic and were much faster on the trip back.

***

Which was a lot easier and less fun. This was when I was bored most of the time and kept wanting to run ahead.

***

I had 5 cookies at Karl's house.

***

The End.

***

I really have lost my marbles. Muahaha.

I'm broke, flabby, and too thin.

My last three ringgit left my wallet today while paying for popcorn and drinks, I couldn't even pay my half. Yes, I am now officially penniless.

I realized that lately I've been pigging out too much, always eating out, I can see and feel the layer of fats on my tummy, oh so flabby, ugh. Have to go on vegetarian diet again soon...

Too much fats, but still too light. I'm only 65 kg. Too thin. And I'm only almost as awesome as Cheng Hong and his sexy back.

I found out how to upload pictures from my phone! I'm wearing Flower Power Shorts! Heeheehee...



Sigh so thin. So thin.

There, YaoYun, no ego in this post right. =)

Siblings, Metal Slug X, and Exams

I just finished playing a game of Metal Slug X with my brother on the PlayStation. I exchanged my Ps2 for a Ps1. =) So many funner games.

We were talking about how much money we were saving... See, I continued 17 times, and he continued 52 times, add the two tokens to start the game; so if we had played at the arcade, we would have spent RM 71... o.O!

My brother is great. He's gonna be head prefect. *Proud of brother*
I forced him to take a picture of me flexing my back. Hehehe. I don't know how to put it on the computer.

And I just checked my Monash email and exams are just around the corner.

WHOOOOO holidays are coming!!! WACHOWCHOW!

Wilson's Pick Up Line

Hiking was awesome! *Howls* I'll blog about it in detail tomorrow but right now I have a party to go to. Maybe I'll try Wilson's pick up line, which he has used to positive effect HUNDREDS of times. I don't have the right job to use it though... Wilson works at Starbucks, and whenever he spots a pretty lady, he goes

"Would you like some hot chocolate? On me." *WINK*

Now go read Gene Lih's post on how to hit on girls! *CLICK*

It's a Christian webzine! Look around, I've got two articles there too.. =p

And there shall be pic spamz.

Considering how many pictures I usually have, this is pic spamz.
