Life is really a surprise. It may bid you no farewell neither send you a ticket for your departure. Even then, life goes on.
Some of you may already know that my dear friend and definitely a dear friend to many other and a wonderful son to Mr. and Mrs. Robert has been called by God to a better place with better circumstances.It really took a toll on his family and a lot of us who was close to Gary. Every time I hear the family, especially the mom wailing, my heart’s inner core is crushed. For a parent to see their child leaving them before them is just beyond description.
Nevertheless, life goes on. Should we choose to just stay in the pit of depression, life still goes on. Not one moment will stop for us to take a moment for the departed. Therefore, dear friends and family of Gary’s, while we keep Gary close in memory, let us strive our lives with full enthusiasm for the Lord that when it is our time to finish the race, we will be able to see the Lord and our dear friend Gary and many more up in where roads are made of gold and there is no night. 
Time flies! At a speed where no man can ever comprehend!
It’s been almost a month since my last post. Well, to be exact, it’s been quite a hectic month honestly. With lab reports coming two by two to four by four at times, the work load can be pretty straineous. Not to mention, studies (which I admit I’m definitely slacking and quite worried at this point of time) and also responsibilities in Techflow (being a treasurer can be a lil .. “taxing”. Though it’s a much smoother ride now) and lastly, probably the most anticipating event which I’m handling this year together with Aaron, which is Christmas Night of course.
I’ve got a few things to blog about now. Let me start with what’s been on my mind for today.
Sometimes, we’re hurt, by others, intentionally or unintentionally. And it’s only human that we resist such painful feelings. Sadly, as humans, we fail to react in the best way possible due to our emotions grapling our logical thinking, toxicating it into illogical and irrasional thinking/behaviour. It’s during these times that what we say, though hurt, can crush others too. A simple curse where one gets too comfortable using it, ie. “Go to hell” may just appear that time and will mean differently as to compared when used during a jovial time. In the end, it’s a circle of unnecessary terms thrown at each other’s face in defense of one’s ego and feelings. So, my advice to all, no matter how angry, how upset you are, how hurt you are, keep quiet, hold on and just stay as put as possible. I know it’s difficult. First hand experience on a regular basis. Still, think of it as an experience to improve your patience. The outcome of silence is way better than the result of insults hurled at one another.
Moving on to other things, I was looking through the star online today (after a long long time – yes I have been under the coconut shell for quite a while) and was rather … disturbed by the headlines in the most viewed section. Teen held for raping mentally disturbed woman, Teachers targeting indian pupils , Irresponsible MBPJ, another rape case, policeman arrested. Now tell me, how has our education plan with moral and Islam subjects really helped, not increase, but maintain the morality of our society? It’s just sad to see so many headlines with negative news brought forth. Sometimes, I like to say, all these have always been happening since along time ago; it’s just that the media has improved, thus bringing out all the hidden misconducts around eh~? ^^
When my good friend Mei Ling, surprised us with her coming back from the US, she came back saying I’ll be back for 3 months, woohoo~. And as usual, we all said ahh, 3 months somor, long time larh! Again, time had to prove us wrong. We’ve been beated dead flat out on this statement. She’s leaving, technically tomorrow, Sunday. And this has definitely been a 3 interesting months with the times I spent with her. I’ve gotta admit, I’ve gotten much closer to her this holidays than I was ever with her for all the times I’ve known her. Oh well, have a safe flight and journey back to US.
Life’s been pretty interesting. From birthday parties, to Langkawi trips and just hanging out. Ahaha. Oh not to mention, being blessed by two wonderful people, Caleb and Val, to the Passion conference. I was definitely touched and blessed by that conference. For once, it was not just a concert. I’m not really a fan of all these conferences actually as I always think of ‘em as some other event and I don’t really get very much outta it, and I went there honestly, because my good friend Megan was there .It’s been awhile since I last met her. Well, I was wrong. It was God moving and I’ve not felt Him as that much for a long time though I only spent a few minutes with her as I had to rush off somewhere else after that. ~~~
Here are some random pics from mua life (including the Langkawi Pics I said I would post).
Long post I know. Oh and I’ve updated one Video I did for Techflow recently. Videoing life has definitely slowed down A LOT! I think the last video took of what I had left in me 
lol~
Oh oh oh and lastly, hehe … something interesting for tonight. I know it’s in the gallery also . :P (In keeping the identity of the author save, I’ve tried my best in hiding it. 
)
While some of you know, I’ve been away to Langkawi for the past weekend with the familee. ahaha (sec schoolmates). Definitely something which I’ve been looking forward for the past few months and now that I’ve gone and came back, how I wish I could turn back time and go back to where we were leaving for Langkawi .
Well, wishes are wishes. It’s time to get back to reality and buck up on eveyrthing around me. I’ve got to start getting ready the accounts for Techflow (as I’m the treasurer this time), finish up the script for Christmas Night, and of course the most important thing is to concentrate on studies. I’ve been slacking on that part and it feels so heavy to get back on track this time. lol~ Guess it’s the holidays
I’ll definitely post some pics up about my Langkawi trip but it’ll take awhile as I’m yet to collect pics from … 6-7 cameras?! lol..
Alright my fellow readers, I’ve finally updated the video and images pages (as seen above). Do look around and I do hope you like what you see.
Anyways, just two days ago(according to the date) I attended the SMKSU prefect reunion at Megaview @ KLtower. Rather interesting to see all the small kids attending the dinner I dont’ remember attending one this grand offically when I was in secondary school hrm hrm~. Anyhow, good job to the organizing team. It was an enjoyable night, though I would love more of the food ……..
Also, for that reunion, I did 2 videos for ‘em. You can check it out here.
(those two vids really stressed me out last week but as I said, the satisfaction definitely pays off. not the best I would say but pretty good for doing it quite last minute hehe~)
And finally, back to uni~.. UNITEN … studying~ ….. catching up with friends ~ lol
It’s definitely been awhile since I posted up something or anything .. lol .. Why? It’s because I was partly lazy and also occupied, with ANOTHER video and my discussions and outings with close buds.
Yeapz. I’ve got another video coming up within these two days. What’s it for? Well, here’s a hint, it’s related to my previous video somewhere at www.jonloh.net ^^. Though there are a few people who have been telling me that you can earn money, you can charge people for videoing and stuff. Honestly, I’m kinda tired of hearing that. So, I’m gonna post why I do videos for free.
1. I love ‘trying’ to come up with new ideas virtually and putting it into a virtual presentation! (In other words, I do a lot of imagining and day dreaming lol~) And I need a purpose for it.
2. I believe that I’m not that professional and what I do most of the time are pretty basic stuff. So, these are considered as my ‘internship’.
3. I love helping people out if I can. If you’ve known me long enough, I will always try my best to help one of whom is in need of help the best possible way I can (or if possible at all). Don’t get me wrong, I’m not boasting that I’m a saint, many times I’ve not helped even though I could . (that’s why the try is bolded and the if is in italic)
4. My reward is that after people watch the video, they feel what I’m trying to let them feel, and that they understand the message from within. seeing them cry, smile, or stare in awe gives me the satisfaction already.
5. The videos of whom is done for are all for the people I love and not for some weird stranger by the road or some high class working dude~
So that’s why. When I become really good at CG (Computer Graphics), maybe I’ll charge when I need the money (which is most of the time ). (It also depends on who is asking me 
and how complicated it would be lol~)
p/s : I’m thinking of changing a lil layout of my blog a lil and adding 1 or 2 pages. We’ll see how. When I’ve got a lil more time to spare hehe. I’ve got another BIG and IMPORTANT video to finish up in ’bout 3 weeks and honestly, I’m quite worried …… =.=.. oh and btw Bumbu Bali is AWESOME! and so is kung fu panda! Shall post more bout it in the next post~~
Apparently, 40(to be approach from 4 different sources) is the goal for someone! 1 football team, 1 net ball team and a whole gang of cheer leaders!
LoL! to the max!~

I was quite taken aback as I saw that our new subsidy has been reduced by 78 cents per liter! I expected a rise (though I was hoping there wouldn’t really be ) but did not ever imagine it would be 78 cents one shot! *sighs* Now, that’s a real pinch in everybody’s pocket…
What’s really going to be interesting I believe is seeing the reaction of everyone within the next few weeks. I went to pump petrol (just like every other car out there >_>) and almost enjoyed watching a fight (I must admit I was pretty pissed too at first). Some lady cut-ed queue and the car in front of me got really pissed. They were shouting at her the whole time …. 2 ladies shouting at a lady.. now imagine if it went further .. hrm hrm
But I guess it’s during these kinda times when you can see that everybody’s on their nerves, affected by the sudden dramatic change. The only difference between you and everybody is that are you able to hold yourself?
One more thing that also came to me is that seeing how we are so dependant on the things of these world. I’m saying the reliance on the value of money at this point of time and the ones who control its value. What if our Malaysian ringgit were to drop to a real small value at this point of time? What would happen to all of us? What/who will we look to/upon? I know one thing though, my God promised that He will take care of my necessities as long as I put Him first, I look to Him. I’m sure there are some of you who will totally disagree with me and will probably find a way out of it. But at the end of the day, the difference between you and me is that I’ll hvae a place to find rest, to feel security in any condition I’m placed. Will you?

p/s: Wahah, my friend and I’ll be directing a Christmas Musical at the end of this year in my uni. Basically, we’re cranking up a totally hillarious and as serious as possible way to tell you the story of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Of course do keep us in your prayers so that we don’t urh … overdo it? or overlame it … hehe … i know i know .. alreayd lame =.=
As I was looking through a few blogs of my family, friends (to those of you who know me very well, yes this was something I wouldn’t at all along time ago but .. things have changed ) and the people I know, a revelation hit my mind! Wow! Everybody is having problems! LOL! …. And as I was reading their posts, I tried putting myself in their shoes and I felt a very small part of what they felt .. the dissapointment, frustration, confusion at times….helpless. It then made me realise once again, hey, my problems aren’t the only problems and it definitely ain’t that big no more…
Sometimes, I even hide in my own self pity searching my own comfort because I do not always express myself to others, no not my problems …which caused me to only focus on myself and myself only. And I believe that’s the problem with a lot of people in the world today. We tend to think that our problem is so big, so painful, so dissapointing, so dreadful that we dread to even do anything about it. At least one of you out there gotta agree with me ~
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who are mothers out there! (that is if you read the blog la~) . Though Mother’s day is specially dedicated to Mothers, felllow readers, let me remind you to appreciate your mother at all times. You never know just when you might not be able to show your gratitude!
Anyways, for those of you who don’t know, I went to Port Dickson from Friday(8/5/08) to today (11/5/08) for my Committee Planning Retreat for my Christian Fellowship in Uniten
(Techflow). Awesome time! Had a great time to relax and chill .. and also plan ahaha … It’s been awhile I’ve been doing this with a group of friends. Nevertheless, awesome group to work with! I can’t wait to see what we can do as a whole!
Also, went and watch Speed Racer today with ahlup, jon and ee leen. aahahaha. I found it plainly dumb and hillarious! It’s been awhile since I last watched something in a pure entertainment perspective. Laughing a whole lot on the dumbness of the show! It won’t put you in awe like Iron Man but again, just entertain you for roughly 2 hours. It was nice to just laugh … Guess I needed it in a way
Sighs…. It’s been awhile since I’ve really been dissapointment to myself. All preparation done turned into nothing when last minute jitters just popped in. Lyrics forgotten, chords changed, hands shaking … ahhh crap!
