Luther Vandross - Dance With my Father

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

Dedicated to my uncle and his family, whom recently passed. - Sadly missed by all

1 Movie, 5 great friends, 5comfy seats, 1 weirdo

What : Catch a movie (5 Guys and a Weirdo)
Where : Crown Casino
When : 2000hrs

Inge :" Ok ya.. so meet 2000hrs at ticketing booth."

And so 5 of us (Inge, Sisca, Jon, Alena and Me) brave the 11deg weather (+ drizzle) to watch Shrek II.

"... Sorry guys, Shrek II's sold out.."

And what a fine start we've got for a wonderful evening. All of us frantically trying to use the remaining brain cells we've got after tormented by 3 exams.

"Hairy Potter! and the prisoner of Alaska!", no i mean Azkaban. Basically, the group comprises of 3 charming ladies and 2 suave and cool guys.

"... Sure..Let's do it!"

As the show starts at 2100hrs, we have 3/4 of an hour before the show starts, so 3 charming ladies and 2 suave and cool guys went to feed themselves before the show commences.

Ok. Here's the weirdo cum eerie cum spine chilling part..To protect the identity of the 'weird guy', we shall call him "Ah Tiang"
Scene 1, Act 1:
Inge :" ya.. so u know ... that's why la "
("Ah Tiang" aproaches our table)

"Ah Tiang": "........................."
Stan : " urhhh. Sorry. u mind repeating that again?"
"Ah Tiang": "mbubumbfroppo.... boufrybo angel mubmimop..."

Jon : " errrr u have to speak up..i dun get what u mean?"
"Ah Tiang": "Sorry, i mumbiob sick... Arch bmoomboiuy very friendly bmioirty.."

"Ah Tiang": "AHem bimoibnmbi. Archangel has told me that u guys are very friendly people"
Jon : " Ohhh..."
Inge : " huhhhh?"
Sisca : ".........."
Alena : ".........."
Stan : " huh. ok... thanks a lot.."

"Ah Tiang" walks off.
That has totally spooked us to the max, trying to figure what archangel is that guy mumbling about.

Scene 2, Act 1 (Inside the cinema)

Basically we were seated like this, then "Ah Tiang" came in!!!! Then he went to repeat the archangel mumbo jumbo to the person sitting at location (V) at Row E

X - Weirdo (Ah Tiang)
V - Victim
V1- Victim's friend


It was definitely eerie. And so i came to conclusion.
1. He's too stressed by exams
- Coz now its the exam period, so maybe he's kinda stressed-out
2. Pay it Forward logic
- Contributed by Inge or Sisca... can't remember. where "Ah tiang" needs to tell to a certain amount of pple to pass the benefit.
3. Kena Sabo-ed
- Which i think its highly unlikely.
4. Cult Leader
- Fingers away from dialing 000.
5. Trying to be corny
- luckily i am in a good mood, else i will *Beeesh* him and *Zoink!* and *KarPow* him.(Verbally) haha, caught u there, didn't I? Come on, the '79s are so cool and suave, how could we resort to such scheming tactics? Ok. at most,
i will just tobasco his non master eye. *Smirk*

Anyway the show was great.. GOod twist at the end to make the ending so flawless. A 8.5/10 for me. (-0.5 for drizzling, -1 for the weirdo)

That's it

1Good news, 1 bad news, 1 more exam to go

Today, i had my 3rd paper, and 1 more to go on the 24th. THen after that i am going to say bye bye to my academic career till i am 30. TOday's paper is freaking different from the previous years' exams. And yes, all the students are swearing the way out. No, they come out then they swear.

Ok, so what's the freaking good news? Well today, my group back our grp project for OOSD, and we got the highest of all groups, with a whopping 97.5%, we have (choose 1 from the below)
beat, blow off, blow out, breeze, bulldoze, conquer, edge, finish off, gain, gain victory, lock, nose out, overcome, overwhelm, plow under, prevail, rack up, rake in, shellac, shut down, shut out, sink, sneak past, snow, succeed, triumph, upset, walk over the ang mohs.. wahahhahaha... Bring it on!

Ok, so that's the good news. Bad news, is that its that its rather hard for today's paper, so i am just keeping all fingers cross for good marks. So lestan is going to take 1.5day break, before mugging for the next paper lah. so i will be very prompt in blogging for at least next 1 week.

So what's mingquan's plan for tomorrow? i am going for a run ard city, then going for retail therapy, and hopefully can meet my friend when she knock off work. THen i need to do my notices for selling the following items
(GOING HOME SALE!)
- HP 920c Deskjet ($89) ----(both printer + scanner= $150)
- Scanner ($89)
- Toaster ($20)
- Iron ($20)
- Utencils(All) ($15)
How's the price? is it a bit mercenary? hmm do comment about it.

This dog ah, called milo. wa koaz, he's the inborn motion sensor. When i come home after clubbing ard 4, i already tip toe and VIOLA!, Milo wakes up,and greets me. Hyper-ative but dumb dog, if u want to cordorned him off. use books and form a perimeter, and he wun jump out. heh. More stories to come. 

3Down,1 to Go.

Had my 1st paper today. Its at 13.C.13. Basically, the exam was held in this very authentic Victorian hall. Its so Retro. SO retro, that i almost dance "Square Room" and with complimentary hand signs. Oh huh oh oh.. square roooom...." and then i will sing,

"Oh my love, it’s you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain"

But after that i will get evicted, even before i can get my ass planted and whip out my student card. So i decided to ass myself down quietly.Paper wasn't that bad. Hope can score well. Went to eat dinner with Cynthia before heading back. Counted: 17 days to go before my academic life ends.

I do have to apologies for my bad contents, coz its exam season, so not much inspirations, coz i m mugging all the while. I promise more juicy contents after exams lah. Muahahuahuahua.
Ok. got to get backt to MSN.

Eh! Alignment Problem

There seems to be something wrong about the alignment for the sidebar and the main panel for this template i am using. Tried using several browsers to view the blog

1. Mozilla Firefox -Sweet!
2. Netscape 7.1 - Sweet!
3.I.E 6 - All Screwed up, haywired!garang gabok!Senggek!Apa?

I tried to edit the html both in IE, and in firefox and netscape, only IE poses the problem. Again i would like to highlight the _dominance_ of dear _M$_ in the browser industry.
Watching Jerry Springer now, walau.Very happening...Woaaaah!GOing to resume studying later.

That's it.

Okie lah, after meddling with photoshop, putting Weiming in, shifting songhan to the right and doing some lights. well not a good work, took me 15mins. if got time i will put fann wong on each of us.haha 

The Legendary 4 Bros. Guys, will try to crop Weiming into this when i have time. In the meantime, try to makeshift with this. 

...:::Exam Fever:::...

Hey!Its been 3 days since i last blogged. I was rather caught up with my exam revision. Basically i have 4 exams which happily falls on the 7th, 15th,16th and 24th of this month. So effectively, i have 21days, before my final academic battle ends. After that, i am going to party like hell, drink like hell, create a wreakage, here in Melbourne. But wait, my parents are coming on the 26/6/04 early hours. So, if u do a little bit of maths, i have 29hrs to party like hell, drink like hell. Pathetic? Well,i work try to work things out somehow.

In order to refrain myself from watching too much tv, i had done the following,
1.stick motivation poster on the tv screen
it works, coz i am too lazy to walk up and take down the motivation poster.UNless it's Jerry Springer show,Oprah,Queer Eye for the straight guy,Something about Miriam. Recently there is this reality show i am rather plugged into, thats "Something about Miriam". Its about this girl, whom there are suitors going after her, but miriam isn't a girl by nature. Cool huh? i have been trying to analyse anything going on down there. But sadly...ain't see anything..

Anyway, after exams, my parents are coming, so perhaps we are going to the snow mountains, to Perth, hopefully, i can get out of Melb,(by myself?heh) to somewhere.. Perhaps after 2.5years of academics, its time for me to take a hard-earned break. I need it. Please dun take it away from me. I implore.

Went to revision lecture today, nothing much gained, coz i haven started on that subject yet. Its about .NET technologies et al. Misssomeonebackinsghopeeverythingturnsoutwell.

That's it.
