MNJ

After a week I wrote the letter to LSJ, who is more keen to be known as J, I assumed the letter has reached her doorstep and she has read it.=)

Well, no reply from her yet. Maybe she needs months to go through it.

Wait a moment, I FORGOT TO PASTE A 50 CENTS STAMP!!hahahaha. Too bad.

I got many complaints that the letter was too lengthy, so do my other posts. Knowing that most of you carry out a hyper hectic life, you have no time to read it through word by word, I'm trying to make it short. Just TRY only.

MNJ



You've read the other two of the group posting about MNJ. Ya, I am hopping on the bandwagon too.

Perharps there are readers who are scratching their heads thinking what on earth is MNJ?Well, M for Matty, N for Neri and J for Jing.

Er...it is a new formed group, a gang, a band, a party, a company, a compound or whatever you may call it. We're quite flexible you see. I can see that many of you are frowning, dissaproving? oh don't worry we don't organize campaigns like "Occupy Wall Street","Occupy New York","Occupy Penang Bridge" or "Occupy Chung Ling". Occupying Chung Ling is a good idea though.

We are just a group of teenagers, to be precise, three teenagers who ... er ... chemically reacted and form a compound through friendship bond ( which is the combination of covalent and ionic bonds).

You may want to know more about how it happens, erm I need to check up with N and J first but I know it involves complicated formulae and theories which you may not understand even I tell you. So better don't tell.=)

Somebody asked how about the 3 Musketeerz??

Oh~I am glad there are people who still remember this.haha. The 3 Musketeerz is still there, no worries okay. But the 3 Musketeerz have not been holding a conference together for almost a year. Don't forget KL is a face-paced society. Just like Malaysia can join ASEAN, PBB and so on, we form groups to create a better world. Yeah.

Okay, someone starts to grumble. I am going straight to the point now.

M

Not much to say about myself, you all know me right. However many say that they know me more after reading the letter I sent to J. Hey, it is supposed to be her letter, private and confidential, why you all read it?

N

Neri, aka Neri Tan not tanned.AHAHAHA. Her skin is so fair!!

Sorry, I am going to spend quite a big page here since I dedicated such a long letter for J.=) If not Neri will feel she is inferior to J and become emotionally unstable, which will acitivate a series of nuclear chain reaction, in turn blow up the whole earth.XD Ops, she will definitely seek my live once she arrived at Penang International Airport this December from Australia.

I never think that we will be best friends when I first know you in 3A2. My impression towards you was "wow your English is freaking good." I couldn't see any interception point between our distinct lives. We were so different. In fact the entire year in Form3 we didn't talk much but who knows we are now so close? Thinking back, our friendship develops through blogs and facebook right?I remember last year each time I visited my blog, the counter showed number 3, I knew it one was you, another was Jing and one was me of course.Haha. How pityful . You started to comment on my cbox, clearing all the bushes that grew so tall after Jeffrey and Yan Yi abandoned the place. So, you are actually my web friend (网友)! I was so touched that someone cared for me during that period, you know what I was going through. When the people surrounding me were backstabbing me, you, from so far away actually cared for me.=) Now I know why. Maybe it's because you were facing difficulties too living and studying alone there at such a young age, so you can easily understood my feelings.

Okay, enough of "imbas kembali".

Now we are so close, even time and space can't limit the three of us. I love to talk to you two NJ, like you said I can just express myself freely without worrying my image too.Haha. Your voice is so different and unique, it carries some kind of tone which the people here do not have.Argh, I don't know how to describe. I may hurt you sometimes ( erm, actually quite often) but I know you won't care but deep in your heart there left a scar. For example, when you came back last time, I went to watch Transformers 3 but not meeting you for lunch. That was one of the worst things I have ever done. Sorry.But I know you will just take it as childish-guy-is-like-that right?XD

I think the place and the environment you are in now shape and mould you to be so mature, seriously. You're like the Big Sister, shielding MJ. Even when we're discussing our problems, you are like the Master of Ceremony, guiding us through the agendas.

Ya, MN don't share the long history like MJ, but does that matter? Absolutely not.!Deep in my heart I know NJ will not betray me, NJ will never put a sword on my neck or point at me with a gun. That day when we were chatting via Skype, I was so grateful towards you, your advices and your support. Especially on that matter (you-know-what), I can feel that you really support me. I was not expecting that much from you on that particular matter.

Now, I know what you are going through there miles away from us miles away from your home, but remember this : be bold and trust in the Lord. Although MJ keep on stressing that N is like a big sister for MJ, feel free to talk to us about your problems. M will surely be able to find an amazing way to solve it.XD

You are really, really, really good.

I know you're very disappointed with me sometimes, please forgive me, I will try my best not to let you down again ( I wonder how many times I told you this...haha). I know you have high expectations on me, just like my mum, and I promise I WILL LIVE UP TO IT!

I am waiting for your next return to Penang this December, anticipating!XD

J

Please refer to the post below. Your cooperation is appreciated.




I promised you I will not online for a week.=)



TO LSJ

Dear GLSJ:

LSJ. You sure know who am I referring to.

LSJ, is an acronym of your name, is a short form, is a symbol of you when I was small. Just please don't ask me why. Maybe it's because last time in primary school we needed to refer to somebody secretly (again, kindly don't ask me why.Lame people have lame reasons.), idiots also know using the person's acronym will be the best way.

Yeah, we know each other since kindergarten!I frantically searched through my mum's kindergarten album when I heard you were at my mum's school some years back , and found one.Though I don't know where is it now.Ha.What an old old friend!But the time we actually met and truly know each other 'consciously' was in the year 2002 I think. We were in the same class and you were sitting beside me for 2 years in a row and the third year I prayed 'oh God not she again' and God heard it and I regretted it deeply(again, lame people have lame reasons.Don't ask questions.). What happened through the years we grew up, we both know best in our hearts. Some crazy childish thoughts, some feelings and some remorse. You were cute and cheerful.

Ah, I am surprised you still remember that!!Exactly the time!Right after I shifted to Kulai, Johor I got my first and only handphone number until now, eager to keep in touch with you, but we ended up quarrelling. It was the first time I was being rude to you and I hope it would be the last.=) That time you were annoyed by the guys gossiping about you and me. I understand.

How we reconciled? I forgot the time. Haha. Yea, pretending nothing happened is always the key to save a relationship.XD However, obviously we went through different paths. You had your own problems and I had mine. Almost the same time line I think, we fell for other persons. And the outcomes were different too.

You are still a cheerful girl in my eyes, no matter what you say, like what we didn't see the real you or something like that. Nothing is gonna to destroy you or take away all your happiness and joy. Not even a guy.All you need to do is LET GO. You might think that I didn't go through what you do, but I assure you I fully understand the feeling. I am not saying this out of comforting and sympathy, I meant it. STAY FOOLISH, forget all the sadness and frustration. It's very easy, just you must be willing to take the first step to shut the window to that. I had gone through bad times and difficulties during these five years which you can't imagine. You see, shifting to Johor then Perth then Petaling Jaya then back to here. All the places, I needed to start all over again, making new friends, be strong against jeers and laughs. Even though I was back to my hometown, it was not that familiar to me anymore. There were helpless times for our family, alone out there miles away from the rest, we overcame it together at last. Something bad happened which we concealed even to our own relatives, buried deep in our hearts and minds. Of course I am not going to say it here, the time has not come yet.

However now I look back all the years (wow,feel that I am speaking like Steve Jobs lol), the events happened somehow shape and mould me into what I am now. And I am still on the change, to be a better person. Every single event, little by little they built up my character and my thoughts. As you know I changed school for 3 times in 3 years, I developed good adaptation skills to the environment, and to the people around. That's why some people said I am highly sociable. They said this in a sarcastic way but it's ok for me. =) Adversity creates strong people, how true it is. Now I am immuned against the jeers!Hahaha.

Well, yea I have changed. But one thing I can't change is I am kind hearted. I always have the impulse to solve and help out others problems. I regard this as genetic heredity now. Cool.I inherited this characteristic from my dad, who can give a lift to a worker in a shop by the roadside. My dad knows him because he sees him everytime when he was shopping in the mini market. To be precise my dad don't know him at all. -.-" When I came to this school, I was cheated and felt strongly someone was taking advantage of my hospitality and kindness. I told you before. I tried to be adamant and turn my back to them but without realizing I was giving them a hand again. Later on I learnt that as Christians we must not only love our love ones ( since everyone in the world can do that, of course.) but also our enemies (which I don't think everyone in the world will).And we are the light and salt of the world, should be a blessing for others.

I helped you LSJ out of my protective instinct. As your best friend I know I must not refrain from you and let you alone bear it all the devastating problems. Do not feel guilty or embarrassed, I consider this as an insult as WE ARE BEST FRIENDS. XP

What are Best Friends??

BEST FRIENDS ARE THOSE WHO WALK WITH YOU ALONG THE ROAD.

BEST FRIENDS ARE THE ONES YOU CAN TURN AND CRY FOR.

BEST FRIENDS ARE ALWAYS THERE EVEN THOUGH YOU FORGET ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU HAVE A CRUSH.

BEST FRIENDS WILL NEVER EVER QUIT FROM YOUR LIFE.

BEST FRIENDS ARE FOR YOUR HARD TIMES.

BEST FRIENDS ARE FEW BUT ARE SUFFICIENT FOR YOU.

Please bear in mind that, no more asking Neri and I to quit.Grrr. Chasing us away like houseflies. You may ask me why, why I become your best friend?

Well, I don't know, but I sense a bond between you and me.

Last time we were , erm, you know, but now we can still being so good to each other, don't you feel amazing?

You can overcome this, Neri and I know for sure. Trust yourself as we trust you.=)

LSJ, let it remains as the symbol.

love,

Matty.

May the good Lord bless you.XD

Perharps you didn't realize, you have helped me a lot too.=)

Steve Jobs

While the world seems to be emo for the death of Steve Jobs, I have nothing to say about it. Jing and Neri are very sad about this, so does my cousin Zhong En who is a top Apple fan.

Indeed, he was an awe-inspiring character.The past he went through, the events he muddled through, are facinating enough, just like what he said in his speech 6 years ago. I need not to repeat the content of his speech again, just click the "play" triangle and listen attentively by yourself. This is the speech I mentioned on my post titled "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" the other day.

I can't help to notice that, of all the great successful people in the world follows a pattern :

Not-so-nice childhood /Lives in poverty/ambitious/ - by all means they enter university - by whatever reasons they DROP OUT FROM UNIVERSITY - some years later - SUCCESS

Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook and so on.

I have been directionless and uncertain of my future.When I am typing this, I think over it on my own. Yea, I am quite ambitious and poor~ Ya, I am struggling to get good results to enter tertiary education~... ...

!!!

The needle of my life compass stop yawing and stays still finally! A scorching fire ignited in my heart, I know what to do next, after I get into university.

DROP OUT FROM UNIVERSITY!

I have not been so motivated, since the trials ended I was frittering  away all the time and couldn't get a new start. Here I am, ready to strive again! yeah!

Ha ha ha.Lame people like me need lame reasons to fuel up.

Alright, back to the speech. He said something like he recovered from cancer and he hoped he can live for some decades. It was 6 years back. When you heard that you will definitely feel something. Perharps on the spot the audience and he himself really truly believed he would live longer. However, no one can foresee the future.

Before that he said for the past 23 years when he woke up in the morning he looked into the mirror and asked himself :" If today was the last day of my life, what I want to do, what am I about to do, today." Did he ever ask this question the morning he died? How did he feel?When he was facing the real death and the last day for his life? We might think this is a nice and inspirational quote, but deep in our mind true enough we know we still have tomorrow. We will still procrastinate. I think, he would never know that was his last day, no one will know he or she is going to die, unless 1 hour before death knocks on the door for some cases.

Steve Jobs :" Stay hungry,stay foolish.I have always wish that for myself.And now, as you graduate to begin a new life, I wish that for you, 'stay hungry, stay foolish'."

Yeah, I guess we are considered about to graduate too. So before you begin your new life after graduation, I wish that for you too : STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH.





Press on.XD

Adventure on The Road!

Yeah!Yesterday was the last day of the stressful SPM trials!!Although SPM is reaching in 45 days, let us just forget about it first. I was so excited as we were going to watch a movie in the afternoon, a large group of us! However during the last paper, I was really nervous. Erm, not quite for the exam but the fact that I would be driving on my own first time without my father supervision to Sunway!!It's a real sun way wasn't it?

My parents, I mean my mother, always over protect me sometimes, she thinks that it's still dangerous for me to drive alone, with a big car like Camry. While all my friends have their own cars, and they are really mobile.

A day before I was like asking my dad in a simple manner :"Ddy, tomorrow do you need your car? I am going to Sunway to watch movie with my friends..." If you scrutinise the sentence structure, you will sure find some clues I was hinting to my dad that I would like to drive alone there. AH!Like father like son, he got it.XD with the right and accurate frequency and a resonance occurred.WOO HOO!

"You need to get your permission to hang out with friends first."

And I asked and my mother and she allowed. Of cause I didn't tell her that I would be driving.hahax. Matty decided to break the rule!To strive for freedom!To be rebellious!XD

Little did I know I will pay the cost.

Well well, yesterday I brought Chen Xin home for lunch. 2.30pm, once we reached the ground floor of my condominium, Itik and Angie reached too.

They can't believe I would drive them there. Keep repeating are you sure!? Zhen De Ma!

" Hey Matthew are you sure you can drive us safely there?I didn't tell my mum you are drivng us there, cause if she knew She won't let me be here. Chen Xin, did you buy insurance?" Itik murmured.

So and so we got in the car, Chen Xin, another driving licence holder, sat on the front seat as coordinator. Angie, also one with the licence, but just merely a prove to show that she is of age to drive, at the backseat. Thud thud, Itik, the girl who doesn't even know where to slot the car key, at my back.

"Matt because I am sitting in your car so I must tighten the seatbelt.I don't do that usually." She said again.

"Do you need a helmet as well?" I asked, politely.XD

Come on, trust me can ah, I know you do, If not you won't be here. I mean you all.

Kay, no mistake is allowed. I told myself in heart. Can't throw my own face in front of her.I mean the girls.hahaha.And let Chen Xin laughs.

Yeah!!Off the road we go!!Along the way, I did quite well, and gained confidence in myself, knowing that it's just so simple, knowing that I can be independant, knowing that I can drive without my parents yelling. Perharps their shouts will make the journey more dangerous?Aha ha ha ha.

When we finally parked the car nicely, ready to step down. My phone rang!A dear name appeared on the screen yet it was so strange and unusual to appear at such a time : MUMMY.

ARGH!NO WAY.SHE CAN'T KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE.MY DAD WON'T BETRAY ME!MY PLAN WAS TO RETURN HOME BEFORE SHE DID!

Scolded.She was so angry that she just yelled at me. Saying both my dad and I were good at concealing stuff from her knowledge. I think my dad was a victim too. My mood spoilt, but I must put my emotion aside and enjoy the day.

When the rest of them reached, we watched Johnny English. Later then Chen Xin, Teik Yong, Wen Jiong and I went to buy birthday present for Xue Kai. Just about to leave, Itik called to ask some guys to assist them to finish up the Pizzas at Pizza Hut. What?!3 girls dining but you ordered 2 regular pizzas?cool...

I was about to leave, since I must send Chen Xin and Teik Yong back to school to catch the afternoon session bus back to Kepala Batas there. Somehow we walked to pizza hut direction.

Oppss, it's 6.30pm!If there were a traffic jam, even if we flew also can't reach there before 7pm. I geared up and took the highway. Speeding within the speed limit. I managed to reach school about 15minutes later. WOW.haha.shhh.Don't tell parents.

Reached home and my dad brought me to Sunway again to watch Abduction with them at 8pm.

Heyy, luckily now, after a day, my mum's anger ceased!I am safe!XD

And guess what!Ah Jing turned up as a surprise to all!With her brand new camera!Still fresh, just out of the factory I think.haha.When are we going to start our movie Ah Jing?As soon as possible ya! Hope you really enjoyed last night with us! To see what incredible photos Ah Jing has snapped, click the link to her blog then!XD





I brought you there safely.=)

Abduction

Well, our next movie after Johnny English was Abduction. Starred by future action movie actor Taylor Lautner.

Before watching it, the plot summary is exciting enough to pull me to the cinema. The plot summary says a guy named Nathan finds his own photograph on the US missing children list website, and then he sets off his adventure. I was thinking : what?How can one finds himself on the missing persons list?Even if he was a missing child, now he has a family and his name should be cancelled from the list right.

The plot is really a thrill I must say. I can't really guess what comes next in the cinema. You know many movies follow the same pattern of story line, you can even know exactly when and where the couple kiss, who is the one behind, who is the bad guy and how the bad guy dies at last and so on.But not this one, The mystery in your mind remains until the middle part, and the answers uncover in an unexpected way.

For guys, you will start to think will you face the same fate like Nathan? We are about the same age with him now, can we cope with all he has gone through? Luckily, the answer is :



IT IS JUST A MOVIE!


FROM A DREAM FACTORY NAMED HOLLYWOOD!


I would like to watch it a second time.=)

Johnny English

Johnny O Johnny. All that I know about him, I mean the actor, is from Mr Bean. I have heard of Johnny English but never got a chance to watch its previous films. Yesterday right after our last day of SPM trials, 12 of us went to Sunway Carni to release stress.

I think we have got the right movie to watch.XD

Okay, what expectations I have for this movie?Rowan Atkinson is a great comedian, and I grow up watching Mr Bean, I really can't imagine he plays in an action film. You know, with that kind of face expression on the poster, I am interested to rule out the truth.=)

When the movie starts off with the scene he is trainning in Tibet, I realize that this is a comedy, absolutely. We literally laughed our butts off through out the 1.5 hours. It's totally Mr Bean, just perharps the director thinks that it is not quite a nice name and change the title to Johnny English. Mr Bean is painted with a new identity, MI7 secret agent. However, the way he acts still couldn't run away from Mr Bean. Besides, many scenes in it reminds me strongly about scenes in Mr Bean too! Like the one Johnny playing his chair, rising it up and sinking it down, was similar to the time when Mr Bean went to the Dentist and playing the couch there. The way Johnny cooks also very alike with Mr Bean.

Now let's talk about the plot. Mr Bean?As a MI7 secret agent?? ha!You knew from that your job in the cinema is to laugh, laugh and laugh.

Johnny is the lousiet secret agent I have ever seen. Very much contrary with his senior, James Bond, Johnny is definitely much much inferior. I think I can do better than him! The way he responses to enemies and critical situations, you will sure doubt his ability.You will have the impulse to knock his head or even run into the screen to replace him to accomplish his mission. Driving a helicopter so low and following the ground road?I think many will put secret agent as their first choice career after watching the movie. One funny point is, his enemies are hundred times wiser and stronger than him, but at last the ending follows evil-cannot-defeat-good rule. And this is MI7 man! This organization is dead cool, carrying out every mission successfully and never be in a mess. However, in Johnny English you might be worry for the security and safety of British government with agent like that.

By the way, like I said it's a comedian, just ignore the not so logical plot, and LAUGH!

XD
