Ode To Nice Guys...
This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honour of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honour of the guys with open minds,with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honour of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style.This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they're at her door, for the guys who accompany girls to bars as buffers against the rest of the creepy male population, for the guys who know a girl is fishing for compliments but give them out anyway, for the guys who always play by the rules in a game where the rules favour cheaters, for the guys who are accredited as boyfriend material but somehow don't end up being boyfriends, for all the nice guys who are overlooked, underestimated, and unappreciated, for all the nice guys who are manipulated, misled, and unjustly abandoned, this is for you. This is for that time she left 40 urgent messages on your cell phone, and when you called her back, she spent three hours painstakingly dissecting two sentences her boyfriend said to her over dinner. And even though you thought her boyfriend was a chump and a jerk, you assured her that it was all ok and she shouldn't worry about it. This is for that time she interrupted the best killing spree you'd ever orchestrated in GTA3 to rant about a rumor that romantically linked her and the guy she thinks is the most repulsive person in the world. And even though you thought it was immature and you had nothing against the guy, you paused the game for two hours and helped her concoct a counter-rumor to spread around the floor. This is also for that time she didn't have a date, so after numerous vows that there was nothing "serious" between the two of you, she dragged you to a party where you knew nobody, the beer was awful, and she flirted shamelessly with you, justifying each fit of reckless teasing by announcing to everyone: "oh, but we're just friends!" And even though you were invited purely as a symbolic warmbody for her ego, you went anyways. Because you're nice like that.The nice guys don't often get credit where credit is due. And perhaps more disturbing, the nice guys don't seem to get laid as often as they should. And I wish I could logically explain this trend, but I can't. From what I have observed on campus and what I have learned from talking to friends at other schools and in the workplace, the only conclusion I can form is that many girls are just illogical, manipulative bitches. Many of them claim they just want to date a nice guy, but when presented with such a specimen, they say irrational, confusing things such as "oh, he's too nice to date" or "he would be a good boyfriend but he's not for me" or "he already puts up with so much from me, I couldn't possibly ask him out!" or the most frustrating of all: "no, it would ruin our friendship." Yet, they continue to lament the lack of datable men in the world, and they expect their too-nice-to-date male friends to sympathise and apologize for the men that are jerks. Sorry, guys, girls like that are beyond my ability to fathom. I can't figure out why the connection breaks down between what they say (I want a nice guy!) and what they do(I'm going to sleep with this complete ass now!). But one thing I can do, is say that the nice-guy-finishes-last phenomenon doesn't last forever. There are definitely many girls who grow out of that train of thought and realise they should be dating the nice guys, not taking them for granted. The tricky part is finding those girls, and even trickier, finding the ones that are single.So, until those girls are found, I propose a toast to all the nice guys.You know who you are, and I know you're sick of hearing yourself described as ubiquitously nice. But the truth of the matter is, the world needs your patience in the department store, your holding open of doors, your party escorting services, your propensity to be a sucker fora pretty smile. For all the crazy, inane, absurd things you tolerate, for all the situations where you are the faceless, nameless hero, my accolades, my acknowledgement, and my gratitude go out to you. You do have credibility in this society, and your well deserved vindication is coming.If you're a nice guy and endured all these, put it on your blog.
Comments? :p Now some people should see the light... ;)

Its been awhile...
Summary of what went on through all these weeks... Lets see... Since the last time, I've been Baptised... It means I'm declaring to the whole world that I am a child of God and I will be obedient to Him forever and I will listen to Him with all my heart and serve Him with all I am... :D Love it soo much... God is good... I got baptised at the church retreat which is held at Austin Hills Golf Resort for three days and two nights, it is sooo cool... I learnt so much about God from there and He's been amazing to me all these while... ;) From all these weeks, it has been really fulfilling seriously... I know that God will make my journey in Him even more fruitful and more amazing than ever... Thanks God...
Well... Since I'm arriving at the end of the semester, I'll just have to say I managed to make it past my common tests and all... Material Science, PED (Project Engineering Drawing) and French Common Test was all kinda okay... as in over all... French is sooo much fun... :D Though I can't really say the same for the other two... ;) Today is Don's B'day... Called him and wished him happy birthday so i'll do it again...
Happy Birthday, Don!!!!!
Hmmm... Well... Thats what I can remember for now... And oh yea... My Lil bro's B'day just passed afew days ago... So yep2... This month, there are also afew other b'day from my friends... ;) Okay...

True...
I wont talk
I wont breathe
I wont move till you finally see
That you belong with me
You might think I dont look
But deep inside
In the corner of my mind
Im attached to you
Im weak
Its true
Cuz im afraid to know the answers
Do you want me too?
Cuz my heart keeps falling faster
I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
You dont know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
Im afraid to move
Im weak
Its true
Im just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know u met me?
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
I know when I go ill be on my way to you
The way thats true
I've waited all my life to cross this line
To the only thing thats true
So I will not hide
Its time to try anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

Lagu tu is like so very like my situation now... Sigh... I feel so insanely down... Why... Whats going on? The people who know, the moment they finish with the lyrics they will understand almost immediately... Oh well...
Things have been happening and it's causing me to think and rethink about things... Sigh...I don't wanna be down any more... I wanna be joyful, confident and all that... Sigh...

Just Songs...
Beautiful Soul - Jesse McCartney
[Chorus]I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soulYour beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c`mon lets try
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You beautiful soul, yeah...

Wehhhh Pehhhh... :p
Woke up at around 11:30am or something like that... Wanted to swim but found the weather kinda bad so decided not to go... Awww... Mann... My tan's fading but hopefully not my stamina... Don't wanna rant more... And then went out with my mom to work... Travelled to Sim Lim Square and then to AMK Industrial park... Hmmm... The cab ride was kinda bad, it was kinda too long for comfort felt queasy after getting off... :( After all that, I actually chose to go home first then leave for church and ended getting there kinda at 5:50 or so which means everyone is already starting on the stuff... Was serving as Soundman and Usher... Hahaha... After I went up to the office and left my stuffs up there with Ci Jeanne, I went down to help out as much as I can... Mannn its really been awhile since I hang at church on both Sats and Suns... Actually around three weeks or so... Hmmm... I think I really should try to make it some kinda item on my agenda if I have the time to I will hang out over there with the youth... ;) Kath, Feli and some other gals came over and asked us if we wanted to order something to drink from McDs and I made an order for an Orange Juice with someone elses ordering Ice tea, Coke and something else... :s Boy do I have bad memory... Spilt my first cuppa because my butter fingers slipped and dropped the orange juice.. Grrr... But managed to get my second cup and enjoy nice and fresh OJs from McD... Hahaha... Went up and helped out with the sound for awhile till Ko Tony came and took over... Fooled around abit with the volume controls and was listening to them tuning the equipment... After that, the lenong was wonderful really funny... But the ending was kinda abrupt though I managed to get the meaning behind the show in a way, with my semi-understanding and help from Do2 and Doko.... :p Pat then sang a song followed by another one by Dimas, Ko Dav, Ko Benk and Angel.... Both were pretty nice... Pat's song is "Authorised" if I didn't remember it wrongly... (It was self written...) Dimas's song "Yang Terbaik" sounded really easy to remember... The tune was catchy... If only I could remember all the lyrics, I would paste them here... =x Oh2... Yea... I found one year 3 senior from NYP thats also Indo... Hahah... Hopefully she would join our church... ;)
After that, we heard from one of the kokos sharing about the Power to Choose... It's very true... But I'm too tired to summarize... Hahaha... Amen! :p Hmmm... Once again... Today... Did the same stupid thing... (Lihat previous entry gw) Smile... yea... Like that would ever work... Dumb x5... Anyways... I'll just... just... just... just yea... Just... After that, Congta and I took Ardiles's mobil ke MRT terus on the way, we shared quite abit 'bout God, His ways and cleared some of my questions... :D Puji Tuhan... Well... I guess I'll just leave it all to God and He will make a way... Quote from Cong "Sometimes, God will give us what we want but it might not be good for us... Our plan is good but His is the Best for us..." and "There can only be light or darkness... Like you can't find a room thats both dark and bright at once..." Amen? Hahaha...
There's more that we talked about but I shant write it all out... I mean if I do whats the point in having sharing... :p Hmmm... I think i'm just going to leave it all up to God now... Anyways, I've gotta go to bed or else I'll be late for tomorrow's service which I'll have to be serving in... ;) Hahaha... GBU and Nitez...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kat: Lihat dan comment dehhhhh... :p Hahaha... Loe ke mana just now? After everyone sortta left? Ga lihat loe di lantai enum ato sepuloh... :s
