I’m A Dad!!!
September 20th, 2006 by samgoh79A God-Dad to be exact. Hahaha… I am the proud God-father of Darren… but some say I am the father because he look like me. Hmmm… I’d say no more. Hehehe… Oh… the baptism was held at St Joseph’s on August 26th, 2006. So this posting was late. :o)
Ok… ’nuff said. Here’s Darren’s baptism photo with Fr Joe and I!
hitz.fm
August 16th, 2006 by samgoh79
The hitz.fm cruisers are in Kuching now! They parked outside my college this afternoon and gave away freebies! I manage to get a cap, a mouse pad, a sunshade, Pringles, stickers and a wristband. They are really generous in giving away all the gifts so if you see them parked around town, just go meet them and you may even win the CD of the Week, Girl Next Door by Saving Jane.
Oh… they are also here to give free Shell petrol vouchers. So listen up to hitz.fm at 5:45pm and be the first three cars with the "medal" stickers to enter the Shell station. They will reward you with RM50 petrol voucher for each sticker you have!
KWSP
July 25th, 2006 by samgoh79
A few days ago, I went to KWSP (Kumpulan Wang Simpana Pekerja) to settle some issue and I was indeed impressed with their new look! The building was refurbished, the counters looks nice and the help desk looks professional. In addition to that, they have the machine to allow you to print an up-to-date statement of account just by placing your thumb on the thumb-print reader. They have indeed changed! I would give them a 5-star status! Until I went to talk to the security guard…
Sam : Excuse me, where’s the washroom?
Guard : Apa?
Sam : Toilet.
Guard : Sini tak ada toilet. You boleh pergi toilet kat coffee shop sana. Pinjam mereka punya.
There goes the 5-star status. Flushed down the toilet bowl at the coffee shop next door…

Here are some photos of the dinner: the bride and groom, yours truely and friends, and some shots of the garden.
World’s Best Nasi Lemak!!!
June 22nd, 2006 by samgoh79
I was in KL a couple of weeks ago and I discovered the world’s most delicious Nasi Lemak (well… some may disagree but to me its the best. Fullstop. Hehehe…). Anyway… it can be found at Madam Kwan’s. I could not explain the taste but once the lemak with the rich thick santan rice lands in your mouth… its heaven!
The plate of Nasi Lemak contains the "Lemak" rice, anchovy sambal, half hard boiled egg, a few pieces of cucumber, crunchy prawn sambal, two pieces of curry chicken, and a small bowl of acar. Yummy!!! News have it that Madam Kwan Swee Lian herself cook the santan rice and the lemak! If it is true, then that explains why it taste so good!!!
So those who is going to KL, try to get a bite of it. Madam Kwan’s can be found in KLCC, Midvalley Megamall and somewhere in Bangsar (i think). The only catch is the price. RM13.20++.

Three Trees
April 7th, 2006 by samgoh79Once there were three trees on a hill in the woods. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, "Someday I hope to be a treasure chest. I could be filled with gold, silver and precious gems. I could be decorated with intricate carving and everyone would see the beauty."
Then the second tree said, "Someday I will be a mighty ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my hull."
Finally the third tree said, "I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will see me on top of the hill and up to my branches, and think of the heavens and God and how close to them I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me."
After a few years of praying that their dreams would come true, a group of woodsmen came upon the trees.
When one came to the first tree he said, "This looks like a strong tree, I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter"… and he began cutting it down. The tree was happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.
At the second tree, a woodsman said, "This looks like a strong tree, should be able to sell it to the shipyard." The second tree was happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming a mighty ship.
When the woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down his dreams would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, "I don’t need anything special from my tree so I’ll take this one", and he cut it down.
When the first tree arrived at the carpenters, he was made into a feed box for animals. He was then placed in a barn and filled with hay. This was not at all what he had prayed for.
The second tree was cut and made into a small fishing boat. His dreams of being a mighty ship and carrying kings had come to an end.
The third tree was cut into large pieces and left alone in the dark. The years went by, and the trees forgot about their dreams.
Then one day, a man and woman came to the barn. She gave birth and they placed the baby in the hay in the feed box that was made from the first tree. The man wished that he could have made a crib for the baby, but this manger would have to do. The tree could feel the importance of this event and knew that it had held the greatest treasure of all time.
Years later, a group of men got in the fishing boat made from the second tree. One of them was tired and went to sleep. While they were out on the water, a great storm arose and the tree didn’t think it was strong enough to keep the men safe. The men woke the sleeping man, and he stood and said "Peace" and the storm stopped. At this time, the tree knew that it had carried the King of Kings in its boat.
Finally, someone came and got the third tree. It was carried through the streets as the people mocked the man who was carrying it. When they came to a stop, the man was nailed to the tree and raised in the air to die at the top of a hill. When Sunday came, the tree came to realize that it was strong enough to stand at the top of the hill and be as close to God as was possible, because Jesus had been crucified on it.
The moral of this story is that when things don’t seem to be going your way, always know that God has a plan for you. If you place your trust in Him, He will give you great gifts. Each of the trees got what they wanted, just not in the way they had imagined. We don’t always know what God’s plans are for us. We just know that His ways are not our ways, but His ways are always best.
Happy Valentine’s Day
February 13th, 2006 by samgoh79
Its that time of the year again… where love is in the air… where couples pledge their love… and where a stalk of rose will cost you 15 solid bucks! Anyway… I’ve gotten this very meaningful spam but its worth every single second of my time reading it. Its so meaningful that it would be selfish of me not to share it with you:
For God so loV ed the world,
That He gAve
His onLy
BegottEn
SON
That whosoever
Believeth In Him
Should Not perish,
But have Everlasting life.
Once again… here’s wishing you a Happy and Blessed Valentine’s Day!
