Who knows Eric and I might become the future Men's Double champion. ONE DAY.
Eh, nothing is impossible ho...
I enjoy every single features that has provided in Adobe Photoshop. I find delight in creating new banner. It's just a never-ending learning.
Recently during my past time, i have learned something new. Something that i believe everyone would love to view. No worries, here i am, sharing my recently developed skill and my creativity to all my readers.
Do you still remember that i always name my Swinburne's Peeps, The Baboon?
Of cause, there's a reason for it.
Please identify these baboons.
**Caution: I might get assassinated of publishing these two baboons' face out.**
I just couldn't stop but to keep laughing and laughing and laughing while editing those snapshots. Both of them look so C-U-T-E. Who can deny!
Everything is just so artistic and imaginative, i know. Photoshop is fun fun fun!!
More baboons' pictures to be revealed publicly, i promise! =P
Comments:

JORDAN WUI JIE AND HANDSOME KEITH CHONG!!!
----------------------------------------------------------Seems like most of the Form6 leavers are leaving to overseas on these weekends. KL, Kelantan, Sabah, And even to Singapore.
Yet, Johnson is still stuck in this little humble city, Kuching.
One day, Dav and Jon went for mountain climbing. And along the way, as typical as they are, both of them nattered without stopping all the way through.
They laughed along the trip. As usual, Dav and Jon were just enjoying their companionship one way or another.
Out of sudden, while they were excitedly climbing up the rocky hill, they heard a loud wild roar from behind. Filled with much curiosity, Dav and Jon turned to the back to have a check. To their surprise, they noticed a wild bear appeared behind them and staring to their direction.
Trembled with sudden fear and uneasiness, both of them decided to flee from the scene immediately. However, Dav's left leg was actually injured due to the exhausting walk and the poor stamina. Knowing himself that he's unable to move or run conveniently, he thought that Jon would help to carry him.
It was at this moment, Dav noticed Jon was squatting down and tying his shoelace tightly and quickly.
Dav felt peculiar and asked Jon,"What are you doing, Jon? You know the bear will going to outrun us and kill us because we are obviously trapped in this narrow hillside. No way out. Worst to say, i couldn't sprint at high speed due to my leg's condition."
Jon replied: "Yes i know the bear will outrun us. But as long i can outrun you, i will still have the chance to escape and survive."
Dav was stunted for a moment and he responded with much disappointment,"I thought a true friend never flee ...."
Jon went wordless by then.
Comments:
A true friendship is a treasure.
Appreciate your friends especially your best friends. Stand for them when they are in need.
So are you Jon??? Sound similar. Jon = Johnson a.k.a John

It's finally Swinburne degree's holiday!! I smell liberty. I get a sniff of utter freedom! Weee.... This is my second week and everything is just so relaxing and slow going. I'm delighting in every single of my days!
Everyone is having their vacation. Some are working part time. Some are lost in no where. Some remain silence. And I'm here stuck in prison.
One thing for sure, I'm not going back to work part time at Kenny Rogers this time.
Of cause i do consider of going back owing to its high remuneration for part time workers. For inexperience worker like me, i get paid more than Rm 600 per month. Wooott!!
Be that as it may, it seems like the business is facing and heading towards bankruptcy every time when i pass by to have a glance.
I have already mused over my going-to-do scheme for this holiday wisely. These are what i have in mind.
Watching movies at Cinema
Everyone loves movies. Who don't.
Can you imagine that up-to-date, i have not even get myself a chance to watch Spider man 3, Rush hour 3, Iron Man and many top box office movies. Since my hectic schedule has hindered and tighten me tensely during my study weeks, I have become outdated. Now the time has come for me to watch heaps and heaps of movies.
Popcorn please!
Polishing up my Guitar Skills
Honestly, learning guitar is not as plain sailing and effortless as you think it is. It's hard. It's complicated. I believe that it requires dedicated endeavor and abiding inspiration if i want to see actual improvement in myself.
One month is probably ample for me to refine my current skills and learn some new stuffs. Pentatonic scales, chords changing, leads and tabs ... lots more.
Jamming anyone?
Badminton-ing
It's on every Sunday evening. A good and appropriate physical training for feeble being like me. I'm not a pro when it comes to badminton, but somehow i just enjoy smashing those shuttlecocks towards my opponents. **evil** agree, Eric?
Badminton is fun. Brenda starts to like badminton. Eric has improved tremendously in his skill. From a statue tree to a hyper alert monkey. Aldrin can jump slightly higher than before. Johnson is gradually transforming into Lee Chong Wei.
My stamina has increased. My skill has improved. My confidence has strengthen. Behold to every badminton players, Johnson is learning his drop shot.
I'm no longer bony looking, i'm now bonny. *wink*
Till then.
Anyone has any good and profitable programme to slot into my schedule?
Comments:
Hey. Do enjoy your holiday while you still a student. Use your holiday to the fullest. Remember what you have promise yourself. Discipline discipline and discipline. I know that you are LAZY. Hahaha. But don't waste your holiday. Can start reading your next semester subject already.
Don't make this holiday a waste.

----------------------------------------------------------Recently people have been commenting on my body size. "Johnson, you am getting thinner and thinner." It's a bad news of cause, because all this while i have been trying my best to gain more weight. And i failed.
But the good news is that I'm gradually transforming into Tom K-u-r-u-s! Envy?
Perhaps, John Kurus?
Mentor.
How do you define a mentor? An experience person who trains, advices and coaches you in every aspect of your life. As for now, i'm going to pen down how great is the influence of my mentor towards my life.
**Caution: Long writing ahead. Enjoy hurting your eyes.**
It was exactly 7 years back when i first met up with this guy. Back then i was just in Form 1 and this brother was back then my temporary science teacher for a couple of months. His way of teaching is kinda interesting and different compared many other moody teachers. His smiley face has really captured my attention to realize that this teacher was actually friendly and approachable compared to the rest of my subject teachers.
Since then, i started to enjoy each of his teachings. Weeks have passed. Months have passed and this brother has stopped teaching the class. And his presence vanished from then.
I remembered around that year i attend a Church service at Rajah Court as a visitor. Unpredictably, while i was on my way to the car park after the service, i happened to stumble upon this brother who was the exact looking guy that taught me science. I remembered clearly. However i was a little unconvinced and doubted whether he was really my science teacher or not.
As Johnson-nish as i was, i tried to overcome my embarrassment and called "Eh, teacher...!!" with the courageous spirit. Providentially, this guy turned around and looked at me and replied spontaneously, "Hey...!!!". Thankfully he replied to, if not i would definitely be red-faced and disgraced in front of the public by my booming words.
I remembered at that moment, when i called him, his genuine smile shined brightly on his face with a big hand wave to my direction has really brought me back to reckon upon his first few weeks of teachings during my science class. Hey, he's my teacher before! His wide smile has really given me a sense of joy and homelike feeling as a new visitor to a church service.
Later did i know, he's one of the Student leaders in this Church. Amazed indeed.
Until today, i have known this guy personally for 7 years. These 7 years have been so significant to me and it's absolutely not just another momentary years.
Serving in the church with this brother is really worthwhile.
At all times when i see him around in church, his consistent smile places on his face has invariably enlightened my days. Every time when i look at him, his smile, i mean really super wide smile, i just couldn't help but to turn my mourning into dancing. His undeviating smirk appears to be so friendly, sincere and true.
Smile. Thus, this leads me to a comprehension that a smile is actually contagious, potent and remedial. Since than, I never under estimate the capability of a single smile. I learn to be more joyful and enthusiastic at all times. Even when he's facing difficult circumstances, this brother still wear such bright and sincere smile on his face. It's encouraging for sure. At times of sorrow and downcast, when reckoning back on him, smiling spirit just flows in my heart and expression.
I learn to give a smile to anyone that i meet. I learn to smile even when i am in the midst of going through tough situation.
Wisdom and encouragement. Apart from that, every time when i get a chance to communicate with him in person, words of encouragement and wisdom would flow out from his mouth on impulse to comfort me. And this has definitely given me extra boost to get inspired and keep standing firm in my Christian life.
Speech. His companionship next to me at all times does make me feel sheltered and secured. The vibe is like a spiritual elder brother taking of me. Through that, I learn the importance of virtuous speaking to one another. Through this brother's speech example, i learn to change my bad habits and improve my speech. It's true that an encouragement spurs someone to move on and a discouragement causes someone to give up. Thus, i become more aware of speaking more blessings and words of morale boosting to people.
Why? Because i have many times been encouraged by this brother's words. And now it's time for me to bless others.
Prayer. When i was a young believer, i always remembered whenever pastor asked us to pray two by two and whenever this brother was happened to stand beside me and he pated his hand over my shoulder and prayed for me. His prayer was just filled with much wisdom and integrity. Through this, i learn to capture his boldness in praying for people. He reminds me to pray earnestly and verbally with one another.
Sharing God's words. His enthusiasm never fail me to realize how true the Word of God is to him and when he share to us, his conviction and assurance of every scripture that has been preached have spurred me on to indulge in learning the bible even more. I learn to get excited every time when i share the Word of God. The excitement just overflows in my heart. I captured his example.
Mission. Started with only this brother and few members, he pioneered a church in Kota Semarahan. And to date, there are 50 plus members in Hope Kota Semarahan. With this, it makes me realize how significant that the Great Commission is to everyone of us. I capture the spirit of evangelism from this brother. The urgency of sharing the love of God to the people around. Every time when i see him or his name been mentioned, one word that will always pop out in my mind is the word Mission. Yea, it's true. Mission is the heart beat of God.
He provokes me to increase my passionate spirit to serve God even more. He motivates me to be enthusiastic in serving the Lord. He encourages me to believe in myself to grow more spiritually. He shows the example of dancing with joy while praising the Lord. He encourages me to be more courageous to lead the youth ministry. He invigorates me to take up greater roles in church ministry.
Over these few years, this brother indirectly has coached me, trained me, taught me, inspired me, motivates me, shepherded me, advised me, nurtured me and most of all, impacted me heaps.
Who is he? None other than, Deric Law himself.
Deric is not only once my secondary school temporary teacher, but this brother has indeed appeared to be my strong mentor, a living example and a biblical leader to follow.
As it has written in 1 Corinthians 11:1 "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."
Picture taken last Monday before he departed to Kazakhstan.
I thank God for Deric. It's awesome to have a guardian angel who believes in my little capability and simple faith and he makes me realize that i can do something greater, bigger, wiser and extraordinary for the Kingdom of God.
I'm much blessed. =) Hope this post blesses you too.
Comments:
great post! ^_^ I didn't know Deric was your teacher. He was my Lower 6 Maths teacher le. Hehe.

If you ask me why i
What makes me dislike dogs that much ?
This is why ...
I just couldn't comprehend why these hungry dogs purposely chose my slipper to chew rather than others. I never know that my slippers do produce such fragrant aroma that attracts animals, especially dogs.
And now my slippers look humorous and strange looking whenever i wear it to somewhere.
In short, Johnson
Comments:
haha...ya u slipper look weird but special ma...can't buy it even though u have a lot money! u can put in the museum ! haha
Christian should buy shoes or slippers for his dogs dinner or lunch since now the rice's price increase already and his dogs like to eat slippers! haha
anyway, i dislike, hate, scare dogs very much...

It is probably BECAUSE you hate dogs that they hate you. Your slippers probably smell the 'I-hate-dogs' kinda smell, you know ;)

The funny part is having Johnson issuing a threat to dogs that he would bite off their tails.
He QUAKES in fear at their mere presence. (You guys should have seen him during that road chainage fieldwork. There were dogs around, you see ;) ). And that's when the dogs are 10 meters away. How does he get close enough to their tails??

Celtics won the 2008 NBA title.
Yet after evaluating the finals, i can come to a final statement. You can never compare Ang moh and Oh lang when it comes to basketball, because it is like comparing Johnson Woan and Magic Johnson.
Catch the ball?
I got a new laptop! *smirk*
When mum told me that Dad has bought me a new laptop, i was thoroughly stunned and speechless. By means dad bought me another gift. Wow! It was just exactly one month ago that Dad bought me a new car to drive and now another laptop. Wow wow wow.
Who could have imagined and expected such significant gifts from parents in a short period? I couldn't.
I have my own laptop! Yea! Even so, a home-used desktop is already sufficient for my current education essentials. It's still in a perfect working order and functioning for me. I don't demand much.
Everyone loves Dell.
To my way of thinking, I am not as conversant as many of my friends are when it comes to computer and other electronic devices. However, with the shallow understanding of the quality brands in the topical market, i am certain that Dell is definitely one of the voguish to talk about.
I'm glad that Dad has made a wise choice to buy Dell instead of other brands. Yes, if it's Acer brand, i could have be disappointed at the first place. But hey, it's Dell! A brand which everyone loves after all.
I got feedback from my friends that the quality of this Inspiron 1520's speakers is pretty booming and loud and up to standard compares to other brands. Good equalizer.
Indirectly, it's a mini woofer! Cool! With this auxiliary feature, it has surely added another thumbs up to this brand.
Not to deny, this laptop is
Once again people, introducing to you, Johnson's third wife. Dell Inspiron 1520.
I never expect to have a car and Dad bought me one. I never expect to have a laptop and Dad bought me one. It's just amazing. I didn't ask for one and God provides. Speechless after speechless.
Thanks Dad plus Happy Father's Day!
"Expect the Unexpected", i guess. **ponder**
Comments:
Congrats. Your dad has been so good to you. He gave you 2 'wives' already. What's next? A real wife... LoL.
How nice to have your own computer. Dell some more. Just like mine. But i think Inspiron 1520 is too heavy for Johnson. The ratio of weight not correct ba. If I'm not mistaken, you are using Windows XP instead of Windows Vista right?

To Eric, Abubu, Avery, Keith and Soon Eng,
All the best for your Engineering Maths 2. Ms Sashi loves all of you. =P
I had my last paper yesterday and how's my exam? Well, honestly speaking i did try my very very best to jot down every single answer that i know. Three subjects, Structural Mechanics, Topography and Engineering Maths.
Among these three subjects, the subject that i am quite hopeful is definitely Topography. The hard work, the never-ending sweat and the inevitable sunburn under the blazing weather for 14 weeks.
Topography.
Frankly, I do enjoy much during my fieldwork. The best part is when you get to work with your team members under the hot sun. Carry those weighty equipments and walk around the site to do measurement. Fun Fun!
It's truly experiencing when every student get an insight of how and what real civil engineers do in their daily work. Unlike Engineering Maths and Structural Mechanics, you don't even know how and when those formulas and theories need to be applied in real engineering life. True? True.
Anyway, lets put that aside.
Wui jie, Aldrin and me myself. Why i say this is because Wui Jie will be leaving to Melbourne next semester. Not going to see him and team up with him by then. And Aldrin Wong Shen Wee, don't be so perasan first k. No worries I will miss
Okay, it sounds so gay right now.
Back to the exam.
*Sigh sigh sigh*
Reckoning back on this paper, i'm so so kek sim and kek tiok. Every student is aiming a good grade for this subject. Either a HD or a D, at least. With the satisfied mark that i get for my course work, i am sure that i will score a good grade for my final. At least a HD.
After revising and completing the two past year papers, my confidence boost up doubly. The questions seem to be a lot easier that i have expected. The lecturer said the level of quality for this final paper is similar to the past year's. Of cause, as foolish and naive we were, we trusted the teacher's words.
On the exam day itself, when i flipped the paper with much excitement and assurance, i was then awakened to notice that the standard of the questions set were so much difficult and different compared to the previous year.
It's so hard! Most of the questions seem so foreign to me. I have been punked!!!
When i looked around to my other friends, all of them also looked so blur and stared at the paper and the paper looked back at them. Soon Eng just sited still on the chair and keep glazing at the same page for a long moment, hoping that the answers will somehow appear on his paper.
Cody was so disappointed. And i heard that Alfred was weeping away while answering the questions. WOW! Even toughest students in this course do feel tearful during exam. Cool.
After glazing through the first page, my confidence decreased 10%. Flipping to the second page, my confidence decreased 20%. Turned over to the third page, my confidence tailed off other 20% .... I was blank.
Say bye-bye to my HD... probably to my D also. *sigh* No worries, at least i am quite secure that i won't flunk for this subject. *wink* I did give my best shot already. Just scribble anything and everything i know to comfort myself.
Hopefully Ms Elizabeth will show some mercy on me. Please ms.
Exam is over! What's next?
One and a half month of holiday. Awesome! Wah... song arr song arr....
Do you know how to spell F-R-E-E-D-O-M? I do!

I know.... i know.... i know.... this is not the appropriate time for me to do blogging, on second thoughts i should do my revision now. Anyway, i received this sms a few days ago and it's quite encouraging and i would like to share with all of you, especially to those half-dead-Degree-students.
"Though i walk through the valley of borderline grades, i will not have a nervous breakdown, for thou art is with me. My prayers and my friends, they comfort me."
" Thou gives me answer in moments of blackness, thou anoints my head with understanding. My test paper runneth over with questions i recognise. Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me all the days of my examinations."
"And i shall not have to dwell in this exam hall forever."
Inspiring yea?
All the best peeps! Buck up! =)
