419 Fraud

for more information, please read the detail story from this link.

i received 2 consecutive e-mails from a company named MEGA MILLION LOTTERY today. the title of the e-mail: Congratulations! your e-mail Address have won USD 2 million !
i was thinking...wow! that was too good to be true. what on earth has happened that made me 'won' such a big sum of money. i replied the e-mail and demanded for more evidence to prove that i was the 'lucky winner'. my heart wanted to believe it but my conscience told me something was wrong. so, i typed the name of the company on the google search bar and found that it was a total scam! i couldn't believe it. why on earth do they pick me to fool around with! there were stories about people being killed for believing in this fraud, called the 419 fraud. to all the people out there who received such e-mail, please do not believe it! wake up! it's still too early for dreams, dreams to get wealthy with such way.

The eternal God is your refuge,
and underneath are the everlasting arms...

new invention in kitchen tools

i was browsing aimlessly on the internet today. i came across these interesting and fascinating kitchen tools. i used to think why people need to buy fridge, kitchen cabinet, stove and etc in separate units. why couldn't they combine all in 1 and save the spaces in kitchen for other things. i knew i was a genius *syok sendiri*. then, when i saw all these kitchen tools, i was mesmerized. i thought it was interesting and i decided to put it in my blog =)

was drawing my so-called engineering drawing just now. then i saw jia ning online. so, i went kacau her. in the end, she teased me back. granted me an award-most hardworking cawaii girl in UKM 2007/2008.

my coconut-tree-look award

she built me up and then tore me down. i was then given the 1st place for ponteng queen, with she coming up as 2nd and my bff, ah gal as 3rd. *zadou*

i pengsan terus

anyhow, i appreciate her drawing. looked complicated but it actually took her only about less than 1 minute to draw it. mentang mentang lah she is an advertising student, used to all those kind of drawings.

k, gotta continue my 'engineering drawing'. MV tomorrow, going to watch 27 dresses. i hope it would be nice!

was that a sign?

i was praying last night on my bed before i went to sleep. it's not God but i who had forsaken Him for the past few days. i was in denial for the past few days. giving excuses to myself, not having any time for Him and all.
i went back to Him last night. i notice that He hasn't abandoned me even once. He gave me a lot during the days that i didn't talk to Him. financial provisions, family to take care of me, friends to be with me and He is even more gentle to me nowadays. He is good to me, all the time.
i back then, started to cry. tears kept running down my cheeks. my heart was pounding a bit faster yet it was warm. i like those mixed feelings. it made me felt that my life wasn't just a straight line. there was God to be with me.
was that a sign? a sign that God was beside me during that time? or a sign that God was trying to tell me something yet i couldn't hear? or a sign that God was comforting me? i know not.
my pastor told me that i'm actually sensitive to the flow of the Holy Spirit. am i? i know not. i didn't realise that God granted me these gift until someone told me about it. then, i started to be very cautious. tried to feel God's presence whenever i'm worshipping. yet, due to my lack of faith in Him, i felt the same as i was before.
i'm still unable to open to Him. i worry too much, i guess.
yet, life is wonderful. i know God is always there for me. make me cry whenever i'm sad, make me laugh whenever i'm happy. i think this is the way He gives me peace. this is how He bless my life. i do not regret taking Him as my Father.

things happened in my life lately

sigh...not a single good thing has happened in my life lately... it's true and it's a fact that most of the time, i have high expectations in everything i do and everything that i expect to happen in my life. i really don't understand why some people are so demanding and can't stand to see others getting better.
like in the house i'm staying now, i used to park my car in the porch because nobody wants to until another girl started to have 2 modes of transportations, namely the bike and car. she uses less than 2 times her car in a month and still, everyday parks her in the porch. ok, nevermind, i'm fine with it coz i don't own the porch. everyone has the right to park in the porch. now, i started to park my car outside of the house since last semester. everyone knows it's the usual place i park my car everyday. now, another girl comes and took the place where i used to park my car everyday since last semester. now, i have to find another place to park my car. i found it very annoying as i like the place where i used to park my car. my car is a wira, which is longer and bigger than others kelisa and kancil cars(others have in this house) and it's very hard for me to find a suitable to park my car, nicely so i won't block others. grrhhhh...
i was in the cafe today lining up to get my food. i was ok til my coursemate came with her bf and cut into the line, just in front of me. don't they have manners or courtesy? can't they just queue up nicely in the line and wait for their turns? already uni students, but still don't know how to practice good manners. i detest those people who don't know how to consider others feeling and only think of themselves but demand others to understand them. grrhhhh...
my department had a plant visitation to sime darby in klang today. why at this time, when everyone is busy with their projects and presentations only someone from the course organized plant visitation and make it compulsory for everyone. i rather use the time to complete my projects and assignments. i don't object any visitation to any plant but not at this time. why don't he organized it in the beginning of the semester where everyone is super free and has nothing to do but loitering around?? grrhhhh...
i don't know what happen to the house i'm staying already. there are 7 persons in the house and these 7 persons are using the same dustbin in the kitchen at the same time. but only the chief tenant and i are the one who throw the garbage, for almost half a year already. everytime, the garbage is mountain high but still nobody wants to throw it outside. why? are they busy? nope, they spend around 2 to 3 hours a day, at least on tv and dramas. do they use the dustbin most(those who don't throw the garbage outside)? yes, they do. i have my wastepaper basket in my room and i seldom use the one in the kitchen. and the odour of the garbage, most of the time spread to the whole kitchen which is not hygiene at all. plus, most of the time when i throw the garbage, dirty water is already dripping from the garbage bag. and every time, i have to wash the wastepaper basket, like an 'ah sam', i'm nobody's kuli! grrhhhh...
i know, i'm being so calculative but i have my own things to do, i have feelings too. i know i'm a Christian, doesn't mean others can bully me coz people tend to think~aiya, Christian cannot get angry lar, will be sinful de...u not scared ar?
this is not true at all. Christians are still humans!

i miss him

i thought i had let it go but i didn't..not yet...
i have been missing my dad lately. i was spring cleaning my room today...there were a few things i bought for him earlier but i hadn't had the chance to give it to him. i can still remember that day, the day he passed away...i was working that morning, the second day of my work. normally, i would silent my mobile phone whenever i go out but that day i didn't silent it. i just didn't feel like putting my mobile in silent mode. i thought it was a bad omen...i got a call from my brother. my brother told me that our dad involved in an accident and asked me to get a day off from my boss and we rushed back to johor that afternoon. i didn't know what had happened until when i was on the way going back...someone called my sister and she turned on the loud speaker of her phone.
'is this sam?' the person on the other side asked.
'yes'
'i've got an order to send flower to your dad's funeral...what is your house's address?'
my sister started to cry said ' emm...it is...'
then, i started to cry perpetually... couldn't accept the truth that my dad has passed away...
i actually still had the hope that maybe it's a mistake...
but i cried the whole journey back then...
my sister then said to me ' be tough! settle whatever you need to settle now...don't cry when you get home, take care of mom...'
i called my boss and told him that i couldn't continue this job as i had some family affair that i need to settle.
i sms-ed Pastor Jason and Pastor Faith...told them what happened and i turned off my mobile phone. later i switched it on again and received a message from Pastor Jason. he told me not to turned off my phone and told me to keep in touch...
the journey back home then was excruciating...
when we reached home and saw all our relatives there...
my brother who was in another car reached home later than us. once he reached home, my mom went outside to get him and told him, ' dad is gone...he has left us...'
within 1 second, my brother knelt down in front our house and started to cry. he was on the edge of shouting at the same time...seeing that, my sister and i cried along together...
my brother crawled into the house, crying at the same time and greeted my dad, 'dad, i'm back...'
i guess it was too late for everything...too late for words, too late to do anything for my dad, too late for a farewell, too late for a last smile from my dad...
if i insisted not to work that time, i would have the chance to see my dad for the last time...i would have the chance to say goodbye...i would have the chance to be by his side before he breathed his last breathe...
sometimes, i kinda blame myself for not doing my best. after almost a year, i thought i could let go of this excruciating pain. until today, only i realized that i'm weak after all, i'm living in denial for all this while...
the pain of losing my dad has come back today, again...
i'm sad that i'll never going to have the opportunity to do or to give or to utter a word to my dad anymore...
i think i'm going back to live under my own shelter, under my own world again...how long will i keep myself from others this time?

life...

DO NOT CURSE your friends!

" ONCE YOU OPENED THIS, THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. YOU MUST SEND IT OUT TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS OR YOU WILL HAVE A BAD DAY TOMORROW AND TOMORROW IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF IT...."

what the... one of my friends sent me an e-mail that starts with the heading as above.
i was like =.=...what the heck???!!!
why are people so superstitious? believe in something they shouldn't have. can't people just use their mind and their sense of rationality + logicalness + scientific mind to think whether such curse exists? why do they have to follow whatever they are told to do? grhhh...it's not like i will believe in such a warning but i just think that it's not decent to pass such words/e-mail to your friends just to get rid of the so-called curse. will you feel any better by passing this to your friends or will you get the least bit luckier by tomorrow if you pass this to your friends? if you really love your friends, then stop doing this silly and imbecile stuff...

i don't mean to hurt anyone but other people will just despise your (those who send curses to others) action....

four seasons

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.

The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.

Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.

bonus marks!!!

lecturer: who invented the television??

sh*t. i know this. i read articles about history of television somewhere a few years back. was it thomas edison?? i think it's thomas edison. should i give it a try?? should i, should i?

lecturer: well, who invented the telephone?

most of the people in my class raised their hands.

lecturer: you, the girl in purple dress.

sh*t, not me, i was in white!

student 1: alexander graham bell.

sh*t, i lost this bonus mark. why was i so slow....

lecturer: the name starts with T

arghhh....i didn't give it a damn anymore. i'd just say

me: Thomas Edison!
lecturer: yes, correct and your name is??
me: sam! =)

yay! i got 2 marks! yay!!

friends: wow!!!
me: *proud*

haha. i was trying real hard every time to get bonus marks in english for engineering class. i'd always equip myself with general knowledge so that i could score better in this subject. class participation is 10% of the overall course marks...

i was in a real, big dilemma just now. there was a book fair in my fac today, just a small one. my lecturers recommended us to buy Perry's Chemical Handbook as we might have to use it til the end of our life. then, after some bargain with the publisher, the price was reduced from rm 280 to rm 250.

rm 250, what can i do with it???
it can be my
1. rent + utility bills for a month, will have some balance left.
2. money i can spend on food, with an expensive meal per week in a month.
3. tot wanna use it to buy a perfume.
4. petrol money for 2 months!

now i decided to buy the handbook, everything that i've planned is gone. rent, food, perfume, everything is a gone case now. hope i can really use it as many times as possible, so it's worth the price...
rm 250,
if i use it everyday for my whole life, say i can live til 75, now i am 22, after deduction, i still can use it for another 53 years.
53years(365 days) = 19345 days
rm 250/ 19345 days = rm 0.01 per day!

emm...i have a conclusion,
i should use it everyday, so it's worth the price. muahahahaha *evil laughter*

i have another conclusion, i will be super PK this month and i shall drink only mineral water this month!
