Do you believe in posession? Lok tang...
I just came back from the home of a medium, and witnessed some stuff that could not be explained. Well it had been a while since i went there, i still remembered that mh wasn't really very convinced, and doesn't really believe the whole thing i guess.
This time there was something extra. 2 guys, 16, just finished O level i guessed, and a middle age lady came too.
At first was to get the 平安符(amulet for protection) from the medium, already in trance and he was the 三太子(third prince). He told me that i got 2 things i did that never told my parents. Haha, at first i was very stress already sitting in front of him, so couldn't think of anything. Well, i don't really believed there's only 2, but i think i figured out what those 2 are. Guess it will be the secret between me and the prince.
After that, the middle age woman, who was sitting at the corner, started to shake, first the legs, then the head, the tian jiu niang niang, came out rather peacefully. She sat on the stool and waited. The 2 16 year old guys, burn some incense and went to pray, then both sat on the stools afterwards. The 1st one, the taller guy, eyes closed slowly, started coughing, then stopped moving as if he fell asleep. Then he started jumping up and down very aggressively, 3 people were around holding him down, and others was asking him to calm down. Ya his actions were very familiar, well because he is well known, the monkey god. He jumped onto the stool with 1 leg, in his trademark sun wu kong move. The other guy, meanwhile also started reacting violently, with 3 guys holding him down. He was the 红孩儿.
After the 2 of them calmed down, the monkey god and 红孩儿 started chatting. 红孩儿 was speaking in chinese, and the monkey god, well in his monkey language. Then the 三太子 started to talk, and conduct his lessons. One by one, the 3 gods were taught how to walk the ba gua thing, followed up by their own move. There was one particular interesting scene. 红孩儿 knelt down and pay his respects to the third prince, then after conversing for awhile, one of the spectator thought the conversation was over and asked him to get back to his seat. Then 红孩儿 replied softly in chinese "If the third prince never say i can stand up, then i have to carry on kneeling."
After the lesson, the gods pay their respect to each other and to their teacher, then went back to their seats. Like how they came, they left. 三太子 then said something funny, "now i can rest." Now at their conscious condition, the 2 guys looked very tired, perspiring all over. My auntie helping out there said that it was very strenous on their body.
At first i was very doubtful about this possession thing, believed that although there are a few genuine cases, most are done by fakes. However, the reasons cleared all doubts about these cases. Firstly, in the human realm, the third prince is actually the father of the 红孩儿, and when the signs came, he initially forbidded his son to be a medium, but the deity was persistent, and so they struck a deal that 红孩儿 can only appear at certain times, like once very 3 months, or something like that. The monkey god case was even more worse.
The monkey god actually possess that boy in school, and know what the school did? They called the ambulance. -_-, nice try. In the end his parents also had no choice but to strike a deal with the monkey god. Then the parents still have to kneel down in front of their "son" and call him da sheng ye.
Honestly, i really envy the 2 boys. It is an honour to let the gods use your body, and if i was the one chosen, i would gladly accept it. I've already been thinking of how to let them know. Anyway, the main objective is to help people right? So yeah, this will be the only CIP programme i will gladly undertake. Haha.
Ok i shall stop here, cause you readers here may think i'm mad, except for maybe thia and bu fan da shi, my 2 fellow buddhists. Seeing is believing, and since i saw it, i do believe it. Anyway, i don't intend on praying to them forever, i hope to be one of them, so yup, i must work hard!

AMC
Today was the so called "maths day" since they tried to squeeze all the events together, there's the maths trail, the American Mathematics Competition, a maths + physics talk by a NTU professor, then there's the daily maths quiz.
Starting off with the dumb quiz, i failed miserably on the first question, so didn't bother to attempt other questions since all of the questions must be answered correctly. They gave some stupid decryption stuff, what's this? Digital Fortress?
By letting A = K and 4 = T, decipher to following message.

4 E 4 1 B
4 5 6 5 D 3 5
After that there was the professor from NTU coming to give us a talk on applied physics and something like that. Secret Message System and the application of the law of chaos. It was damn freaking boring, even to me. I fell asleep halfway, without knowing i fell asleep. I can't imagine how the arts student take it. Although it sounded interesting at first, those cryptology and everything, but somehow you just get bored, can't imagine how i'm going to spend my time in U after my NS. I'll be more eager to go running then attend a lecture, hhaaha.
After school ended went for the AMC thingy. It was quite ok, except that i could only do 15 out of 25. Some of them is damn chim, what ounce of coffee and comparing the ratio of cream in coffee. I had to bring out mole concept to understand the question, just to understand though. In the end could not solve it also, just drink the god damn coffee man, compare what ratio!
I should be able to go for the next round, the invitational stage where you can't do much during the competition, because you don't know where to start.
Anyway, the best valentine day gift that i ever received: Liverpool 1 Arsenal 0. Luis garcia the hero, a good win, let's hope we will be able to build on that win, bring on Man Utd!
There's SPA tomorrow, have to go memorise some lame stuff le...

Valentine week...
14th of febuary, the most sacred day of all, the day to carry out my favourite hobby, homing. HAHA, yeah it is sad case as usual, spending my time with my loved one, my tutorials. LOL.
Today went to school as usual, there have been tests almost every week, so today had my essay test.
"The world would be a better place without religion." Do you agree?
All i can think of?
我佛慈悲.
In the end decided on one question:
Hard work or talent - which is more important?
Then i proceed to crap and crap and crap, without following any format whatsoever, what a spectacular way to end the day man.
Rachael gave me a pencil sia, so nice of her, still thank me for my lame jokes, i must be damn good to receive such compliment. HAHA.
My class the gals also gave me something, it's chim, i'm still trying to figure out if they are suaning me anot. Anyway, every person had a phrase associated with mathematics. There's one for the teacher. Something along the line of "Perfect numbers are very rare, so are perfect men."
For me, its associated with music.
"Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware it's counting."
Chimology, but that's what girls are anyway.
Just like what thong say, valentine day, is the perfect day to go home and see paint dry. Hahaha, anyway, happy valentine day everyone. Hopefully i don't need to see the paint dry next year.

My new idol...
Today just came back from the cruise, very shag, since i slept very little last night. Parents lost money some more, so even more shag.
Anyway, first night i went to listen to my favourite band sing, as usual, wonderful, and due to the valentine's week, they sang alot of super nice songs. A bit sad though, like what thia said, the 1 million dollar question, where's my valentine? Hahaha. After that tried to look for my uncle to go for a drink, but they disappeared mysteriously, so bo bian guai guai went to sleep.
The next day went to casino with my parents, very xiong, but parents never really play much though. After walking around for few hours, we went for dinner, then time for showtime. Today's special artiste: Luo Si Feng. He is so damn solid la, my parents were correct, his voice is damn good, anyway, my father caught a signed poster of him, rocks man. I'm gonna look for his CD, heard its only available in pirated shops, original not yet arrived.
After that it was happy hour time, went to bellini with my uncles, and chose 2 wines. Expensive, but i don't think it was worth the money though. The lounge band was singing, and i guess this will be the last time i'm listening to them sing, they said they will be departing in march the 1st. Haiz, i guess all good things must come to an end then. During their break i went over and took some photos with them.
Then after listening to the music was casino all the way. It's hard to win the casino money man, my parents both already serious sit down and play, but due to the fact the event is individual, the probability is very very difficult to calculate, for examble P(AnB)= P(A) * P(B). How to calculate without using ur calculator? A lot of ups and down, then there was this crucial period where 1 more hand and my parents will break even, but the casino die die also don't want to let you strike. After smelling the smoke from cigarettes for about 5 hours, its already 430am by the time i knew it, i cannot take it but to go to sleep already.
Yeah, i'll be missing the lounge band, took some photos too, enjoy.

cny week...
This week has been quite shag, due to the stress generated from gambling. Haha, luck has been ok, but never really gamble though, don't really feel like risking my money.
Anyway, since i haven't blog so long, let's see what is happening around the world. As we chinese are busy celebrating cny, a war was going on somewhere in the world, it was the Muslims against the err, media?
It's sort of stupid really, like some guy who commented on the newspaper, it is stupid that people were killed and embassies being burnt down, simply because of a few stupid cartoons. What the hell were they thinking of anyway?
I know where this is going, and i must say that both sides have a very convincing reason. On the left hand side, we have the media with their so called press freedom. I don't know what led to them publishing the cartoons, but what the fuck? So many things happening around the world, the iran thingy, the North Korea loser, the Japanese Horie, Bush with his whatever budget, so many many, or maybe maybe, Tarantula being abandon, but they just had to let their mind venture and come out with some stupid cartoon. I haven't seen it though, let me think, just draw a malay and put the name prophet there? Come on man get a life, to hell with the press freedom, world peace is more important.
On the right hand side, the muslims with their senseless demostrations and fighting. Another group of fuckers who have nothing else to do, so many many demostrations and fighting, for what? Actually i feel that the response was even more disgraceful. If i was a muslim, seriously i wouldn't be so free to go for such stupid thing, even if i was free, i would have done other things. The riots and fighting is just smearing their own religion. Yes i can feel the anger, but doing this kinda things ain't right.
If my religion was being insulted, i wouldn't really bother, you want to talk, carry on, i won't interrupt you. I know the majority of malays are probably doing that now, because, what's the point of fighting? Go ahead and talk and draw and write all you want, I tolerate, I forgive, that's basically what all religion teach.
Therefore, to all the people with their senseless acts, wake up man wake up, be ashame of what you have done, your god would not forgive you.
Ok, that's all, i will try to update more frequently, gotta catch some sleep...
