Hiya fellas!
Welcome again to this bloggy. Haven't had much time to update 'cause of recent exams. I should'nt even be posting this 'cause I'm still having exams but I had to tell you about LOUD2008 that took place yesterday night at my church DUMC.
1st of all you wanna know if it was awesome? Okay, that's a no brainer. Obviously it was awesome. I think it was DOUBLY AWESOME!! Or at least it was a lot better than I had expected. If you missed it then I just feel sorry for you. From the food, games and performances to the events that took place in the auditorium, was just simply awesome. It was a once in a life time and I thought it was rather life changing for most of us. The were quite a number of people who went up for altar call and that was a great sign for better things to come. I hope and I'm quite sure next year is only gonna be LOUDER and MORE EXCITING than this year. Hmmm... if this year is already that good, I wonder how next year is gonna be. I'm running outta superlatives.
Phew, all the euphoria, still filling me up. anyway, emmm... my remaining exams are Add. Maths, civics and P.J. Only add math is still forcing me to continue mugging books at the moment. The other two aren't really that important. Come November 7 I'm a free man ! YaY!! I'm having a scrabble tourney on the November9 so I hope I can recuperate my scrabble words ASAP or I'm a goner. Better go solve some add math questions now. See ya guys next time !
THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS to Goh Ann Gie for accepting the Lord at 9.20pm 26/10/2008
Another soul and another child of God is saved. Praise the Lord !!!!

piling, piling, piling
Very long since the last post. Have kinda been inactive from blogging, distracted by other things. Anyway, about those other things. They include homework, scrabble, guitar, exams, church activities and friendly occasions. The work load is piling up as the days go by.
Okay, let me just sum up what you've missed in this life of mine.
I went for the Chelsea game at the Bukit Jalil stadium. caught a glimpse of the star-studded team. Peter Cech, Joe Cole, Lampard, Shevchenko, Ashley Cole, John Terry, Deco, Ballack and the rest of them. The atmosphere was crazy, expecially as the Chelsea team steeped out on to the field. Peter Cech was the first one and it was a standing ovation eventhough it was only one player. A friend of mine had a pair of binoculars and I actually used it to look at Peter Cech's ass while he did his warmups. LoL, yeah I know its kinda sick but oh well, I only see them once in a long time so why not do everything i can while I have the chance? xP
Basically, had a blast at the stadium. Malaysia played well but still ended up losing 2-0. Great game though and great experience personally for me as I have never really seen like big name people like that of the Chelsea team first hand, you know. So yeah, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Moving on, I just went for a scrabble tournament lately, qualifier to be exact. Oh well, did pretty okay ending up 2nd again for the second year running and still playing second fiddle to Suanne again for the second year running. At least the most important thing was to get my butt into the malaysian lineup for this years WYSC2008 at Penang in December. I hope to do well this year, or at least better than the previous two years. Bring some money back home ! and possibly a trophy and goodies along with it. We'll see!
We're still going.... So, I had one of my biggest test so far. You know how I said that my biggest dream is to one day play and sing on a stage filled with thousands of people and just serenate to them? Well, I kinda got a taste of how it feels like to play in front of a huge crowd. I was playing for a cell group function for my youth group and coincidentally we combined with another group so I actually did a head count and it was 29 people ( okay maybe its far off from thousands of people but still.. ) Yeah it was a little scary at first but once I got into the mood I think it went pretty well. I got some feedback from my friends about how I did and apparently I did quite well ( they actually said this, I"m not making it up xP ). O'well, as they say, you have to take baby steps before you get to the Big One!!
I think those are the three big significant things that happened to me over this few months. Sorry can't add any more, don't have the time. Oh yeah, so you know.. I've picked up quite a number of songs on the guitar. Lemme see...
Hero ( enrique Iglesias )
More than words (extreme)
Tear drops of my guitar (tear drops of my guitar)
My Love (backstreetboys)
When you say nothing at all (ronan Keating)
Those are a few of the songs that I've learnt. So many more, can't quite name them, maybe someday if I'll perform one of them then you'l come see huh? Can't wait to learn more. kinda exciting I feel.
Amidst of all this things happening, exams are drawing near so I have to buck up on my studies and I mean REALLY buck up ony my studies. Don't wanna do as badly as I did last term round, so anyway I will catch up with you guys asap and till next time peoplez..

Two Faced Shmucks
Hi there.
So, I've been thinking lately. Each time I watch those teenage flicks on tv about teenage girls back stabbing one another, I say to myself ( I don't get girls. What's with all the backstabbing nonsense. Can't you just get along?? ). Okay maybe I don't say it during the movie but when it actually happens in front of me, then yeah. I've heard a million and one stories from friends about this backstabbing situations and it really is getting kinda old.
I used to think only girls go through this phase in life but I guess boys also have their moments when some idiot just decides to do something behind their back. I sorta experienced that 2 years back with a so-called good friend of mine. Long story short, he promised my other good friend that we would help him tackle his love interest but instead getting her for himself. I never really believed it at first but oh well I guess some people are just really stupid.
I haven't experienced a two faced shmuck for a long time till this year. There's this one guy whom I was getting along with very well until.. well I'm not sure when ( you'll have to ask him ) but anyway, there was this feeling of dislike towards me. I could sense it eventhough he doesn't show it. I've tried being nice to him whilst ignoring all the nonsense he's been doing and how he's been treating me. Sometime I guess patience has its limits. I mean after all I was there consoling him when he was down about his relationship and life overall. This is how he repays me? My God!
Day by day he just annoys me more and well, I can't take it anymore. Moreover, if you don't like me then just tell me or don't hang around me. I hate two face shmucks who act all innocent and with holding a grudge inside. It's not just that, he's turning my other friends against me, telling them all the wrong stuff about me and influencing them so they'd too start disliking me. Gosh ! If there wasn't a law about hitting someone in the face, I would've smack that grin of his pathetic face each time I saw it.
Okay okay darren, calm down. It's not worth fussing about. Like I've said before, they're just being juvenile and I should let them be. Have you ever felt as such before? Or somewhat similar to this. I bet you have. Don't you just hate this group of people? Whatever I don't even care anymore.
Too much hatred and rage in one day can be painful. I guess I'd best stop all this before it prolongs any further and gets worse. till next time my fellow wannabe bloggers !

Reminiscing Old Times
Hi there. So, you're now tuning into darren's personal life. Sit down, take a sip of your nicely made coffee and enjoy....
So, there I was. Sitting down by the window, staring blankly into the sky as deep thoughts went through my mind. It's just one of those times where my mind takes off in 'Darren World'. Yeah anyways, so I had a flashback of a moment that happened back in January 2008. The first week of school reopening was rather relaxing as there weren't much to do. Then came the day where all the students were streamed into their seperate classes. I joined those who too had interest in the pure science stream and seeing as my PMR results were good, I was placed in the 1st class as expected. I haven't been to the first class since primary school when i was in the first class for four consecutive years. I moved on to S.M.K. Seafield and they didn't really believe in cramming all the good students in one class. So, I finally got the taste of being with the elite once again.
I had a tough first week there as I was quite new to most of them and so making friends took a little while. But there was one time when this friend of mine kept on asking me to shift to his class which was the third tier in the form. I mean, most of my friends were there and seeing as I didn't really fit in well so I took a day to consider it. You should've seen me that day. I was literally going crazy 'cause that decision is after all gonna cost me the whole year nad maybe the next too. Not to mention my future....
I finally decided and I went to the counseling room to inform teacher which class I wanted to be in. Hmmm.... which do you think I would've gone to? ( of course this is not for my school mates as they already know )
Okay, if you guessed that I followed my friend into the 3rd class....
then you're...
SO WRONG !!! ( means you don't know me that well )
I decided to enrol into the top class. It was really difficult at first because as I said earlier I haven't been in the top class for some time and lately I've been given the impression that the first class comprised of total nerds. I said to myself "ahhh... who cares? you're no nerd and so what if you turn into a nerd? It's only for a year or two".
As time went by, I started to blend in with the people and eventually I knew everybody quite well. All those smart ones turn out to be just like me. I mean, none of them were actually like those really ridiculous nerds who live and breathe their books. For example, there are these two girls, Andrea and Joycelyn whom lived in my neighbourhood but I haven't really had the chance to talk them... they're really cool. And Tian Xiang whom I thought was a total 'Professor' like kinda person turned out to be a nice guy who likes to talk and yeah maybe he does have the 'professor' look but still.. the point is I was so wrong 'bout them and I really shouldn't have judged them in the first place.
Besides that, there are a few things I've come to enjoy; such as a classmate of mine who constantly approaches Andrea and Joycelyn each and everyday ( you know who you are ) without fail. It's really fascinating, some of these people. There are just so many characters which I have become fond of.
Then there are those just can't seem to get over small issues. These people to me are really juvenile. Oh well, I can't help them so I'll just let them be. And I dislike it when people judge me before they know me. There is this one dude who thinks very highly of himself and often discriminates others, so to speak and me being one of them. It's been several time that I was told "What is this? You bringing the 4 science 1 ( name of the class ) name down". I mean you just have to wake up and realise that that's just a name and nothing more. I don't feel at all proud of the class name. Maybe a little happy that I made it here but not proud. So, I just hate it when he does that.
Other than that, the class is really wonderful and I thoroughly believed I made the right choice ( gosh that sounds like an english exam question ). I'm glad I didn't follow my friend into the third class ( not that it's bad or anything ) because if I did, then I wouldn't have enjoyed 2008 as I am now. So, thanks for all those who made it all better for me.
Long reminiscence huh? I guess that's just what I do nowadays. So I'll save one more for the next time? This post is kinda long so I don't really blame ya if you stopped half way reading it ( then you wouldn't be reading this part of the post xP ). Until next time you Bloggers!!

First of all, exams are over! Gosh, you don't know how it feels to get them over and done with. The only down side to it is, I think I might've flunked physics and add math this term. That's why I intend to go all out for the endyear exams in october. I really have to buck up and catch up if I wanna go anywhere near an averagely good score. SO, I've been thinking and have come to the conclusion that I really need to do a three month reevaluation of what I'm gonna do. I'll probably start tomorrow I guess...
I've got lots to tell but just not the right time now. I'll save it for tomorrow. good night

preparing and going all out
hey guys. First of all, like I said before Rafael Nadal would win the French Open. haha and how right I was. I guess Djokovic just has to wait a little longer. Next Grand Slam up is Wimbledon, hmmm what are his chances? Anyway, I'm having a scrabble tourney up next week in Penang from the 20-22 June. I'm leaving this Friday early morning bout 3-4 am and will be back Sunday night. The entry fee itself is rm100 plus the cost it will take to go to and fro ( not to mention the recent rise in petrol price ), it's gonna cost a hefty sum of money. I hope I do well, I'm confident I can do alot better than the previous few tourneys. I think I've improved certain parts of my game and I'm gonna go all guns blazing. With 1000 USD up for grabs and rm1000 for runner-up and loads more until 9th runner-up spot, I think I should be geared up to go for it. Besides, I think it's time I break outta my shell and show what I'm worth and make my parents proud at the same time. I've still got a few days left before that big one and let's just wait and see what happens yeah? hehe
And for all you football fans out there, Euro2008 is underway. My team, Holland has kicked of to a fantastic start with a 3-0 rout of Italy last week. My 2nd team, Portugal is also doing very well having already qualified for the next stage winning the Czech Republic and Turkey. Holland are playing France tonight in group C ( tipped as the group of death ) whilst Italy are entertaining Romania in the other match. If Holland wins it and Italy beat Romania, it's gonna be a nail-biting finale between France and Italy, however if Italy lose or draw and Holland fail to beat France, then Italy are in a real doubtful situation. We'll just wait and see, oh by the way the first match just started, I think I better go watch it now before I miss out on any juicy highlights.
Tomorrow's gonna be crazy, having to be at church at 12pm until 8pm literally eating up my whole day. I'll try to blog again tommorrow if I have the time. Till the next time, it's darren here signing off..
