Someone added my blog as a link in "her" blog.
I havin a hard time figuring out who she is.
She's from my church,a leader, lives in a rented room in subang.
I still can't figure out who she is. Great now i can't sleep until i find out who she is.
Next clue, she's called Eva by a friend i presume.
I still dunno who she is..more diggin.
Calls herself "Cheese"..Ratatoullie anyone?
Sucheese?picture of her cubicle?
And She is Su Chee!!
Now i feel like an idiot..
[This is a summary of 1 half hours of Randomess]

~Bananas~ or Banana People(San Chiau Ren in mandarin)..
This what Mandarin Speaking Chinese(MSC) calls Non-Mandarin Speakin Chinese(NSC).
No i dun speak good conversational quality mandarin and no i refuse to admit i'm a banana.
Why? You wanna know why?
Because i understand and accept the fact that i'm Chinese.
I know my roots. My dad's family is Cantonese and my Mom's Hokkien.
And i speak both dialects.i almost celebrate all da Chinese festivals or at least hav knowledge or them.Some i don't celebrate for religious purposes.
At the same time i enjoy all kinds of food, not just Chinese.
I'm a Christian not a Buddhist.

And just because somebody called Chairman Mao Tse-Tung starts a bloody policy that states all Chinaman(woman) must speak Mandarin.
And how does that makes me a Banana?
A Chinese tat can't really speak Chinese(Mandarin).
You MSCs better think twice bout calling NSCs Bananas because i for one know how it sounds in Mandarin.

But then again,I began to reason.Its impossible that Chinese are that immature.
The term "Banana" could hav been evolved from a much deeper meanin to a very much immature meanin we hear today.
Banana could hav meant Chinese that hav lost their way, forgetin their roots, denying their identity, or in summary, Chinese striving to be White.
I based this on the knowledge in the olden times where the Europeans were in abundance in China.
The Europeans were the very epitome of style and culture when China were in good relations with some of the Europeans countries.
Of cause this all from Kenny's random theories.
Just pass this off as a joke if u find this nonsense.
My apologies but in summary if u call me banana i'll make sure to give u a bit of brainwashin.

~Graduation..~
The highlight of a students life finishing his/her studies.
The very moment you know you're gettin a job with that paper you hav.(or not)
That feeling of pride and accomplishment.
Sometimes you'll feel that you've help achieve world peace.(ok mayb not tat)
Its something that you definitely wanna go through.
In this time and age, it's become a "Rite of Passage" for everyone.
Especially for those studying in colleges and universities.
I'm not so sure why i'm writin this but probably due to news of people graduating and i'm reminded of my "I.S.E" diploma graduation from TARC Pg last year.
To most people it's the most important moment of their life.
To some people it's something to their make their folks happy.
To few, it's an unnecessary luxury.
This probably applies to most college or uni students.
Well graduation is by means not a bad thing since it makes most people happy, your parents, you and your friends.
A dedication to Recent Graduates and Future Graduates.
A Kenny's Toast.

2 Months Lapse.

Yo! i'm finally back in Penang!!
July & August was just a month of pure busyness for me..
ELS, college work & church....Ok including my gamin as well.
Still, my life is packed to the brim..
Maybe i can make few adjustments here and there.
But there's not much need other than my friends.
No special someone that i need to invest time with.
So how bout a brief through the month of July & August.
<>
July:-
Can't remember much...
Hmm... Another 2 months lapse...
Oh well, I somehow remember that i was quite busy all around.
Probably was quite busy with ELS in planning and running around getting things done.
As well as preparation for handing in 2 of 5 assignments.
<>
August:-
Heh..A month of total annihilation..
For me at least.
Trying to squeeze 3 events(ELS), coping with da rest of da 3 of 5 assignments, helping out in church and whoa!! momma where am I?
Man i think i just bomb out in Aug.
Never thought i'll be handling so many things at once.
Anyways i have hope to announce that all events planed have been a success.
As all things before greatness, there must failures and challenges.

1st event, Water War didn't take off with enough passengers so it was scraped.

2nd event, Scary Story Session could almost make it but we would have need more audiences and story tellers.But overall i'm satisfied with da effort and ideas put in.
With a highly imaginative and somewat skilled crew,it's almost the vision i had in mind for the project. Well i hope for a more success next year.Thx crew.

3rd event, Writing Workshop. My event, din really took off.But it was good.The money invested, worth every cent of it. Problem is? We aren't gettin enough ppl to join in.
Joanna Van(Studin in UTAR) and Sarah Chew(the Star) were our speakers.
And which i'm really grateful for their availability and equally available skills.
Everyone there i hope really gain much from them.
[Edit]
Finally in wrapping up for the month we had a End Semester Review or at least tats wat i remember callin it.
Separated into 3 sections, Seniors Review, Juniors Review and Events Review.
Attendance is satisfactory with 1 to 3 missing,seniors and juniors.
We hope we all had a good understanding of our weaknesses and strengths as discuss in the review.
Ended up plannin for the next semester.
Since it wasn't in da agenda for tat review i was quite please with the majority of them who stayed back to help in the plannin.
And I thank God for givin me these wonderful people to work with.
Next semester is gonna be an even better and greater semester.
