kl day 3

100705 03.39

still approx 400km away
well guess saying that m'sia is some way behind in the pool scene some what sums up the trip. Visited 4 different halls (reviews up soon) and if they keep it up, soon who knows, i might decide to start one up in kl! That's just for thoughts. Anyway, don't want to wake my two sleeping companions (playing two nights in a row till 2plus from 9-10pm and not enough rest is really draining) so i'll write again on the ride back.

1502 STILL approx 400km
on the bus back, waiting for it to move off. Hopefully will be back in time for the WPC finals at 1930. Hope Kuo wins. But kudos to Rodney "Rocket" Morris and Marlon Manaloj they played their heart out but well their taiwanese opponents were just better.

Played 2 great days of pool up here in kl. Learnt a great deal of my game here too. Pity i didn't get to do a lot (other than play pool) but it had been fun to travel, even mimicking the life of a road player.

Besides that, the other reason is that i needa get away from my life back home. I'm too caught up with the nitty-gritty and all the unwanted details and lose focus on my objectives and the reason of my exsistance.

Quite tired already. write when i wake later on.

1711 approx 140km
had quite a good sleep. Was raining while i was. Still kinda lethargic though.

Was wondering, should a Christian ever have stress? Logically speaking, since knowing that God is over all and everything one goes thru is set there by God, whether good or bad. Yet sometimes i find myself complaining. Why?

Though i suppose i don't have the charm of living that "perfect" life with no flaws and hiccups, not being smart and having to deal with various expectations. Why can't one be a God-fearing pool player or run a pool hall? Can one not be a Daniel in Babylon? A white sheep amongst the black? To say, oh that was becuz he was Daniel and a man of God, then am i not a child of God and human like he is?

kl day 1

10.10 - approx26km away
coach ain't too shabby, comfortable but certainly not the shangri-la either. Driver's showing an old james bond movie, "Octopussy" what a name for a movie. And it's lame, the first 5 mins have already convinced me to go to sleep or read.
1) paratroopers do not always carry their chutes with them.
2) you can't possibly fly a plane thru a crowded hangar
3) you don't fill up at your local pump station when your plane's tanks are empty.

Anyway, thank God for keeping me safe thus far. Immigrations was smooth, thank God for that too! (: barely 50km into m'sia. I'll write later.

1950 approx 400km away
it's 10 mins before we're supposed to meet for dinner and the games begin. Afternoon at Pro Billiards quite enlightening.

going the distance... away.

sometimes, when someone does something, there's always some reason for it. It's just that as humans, caught up in our worlds and lives, that we stop caring enough and just point that accusing, or rather, un-understanding finger and judge that they are wrong.

Who gave you that right to judge? Does being rich/going to church more often/being smarter/being more sucessful give you that privilege? Say what you want, call me jealous, whatever. I'm just so sick and tired of living my life based on people's template, especially those who don't deserve to be followed.

If i'm truly in the wrong, show me what is the mistake. Show me that you are deserving of that respect, show me why i have to listen to you. Show me all of that before you try to tell me what's wrong with my life. It has been done before.

Lately, i've been stressed, emotionally and mentally. I've not felt this drained for some period of time. Hopefully, over the next few days and a short trip to KL, should solve that. Thank God for a chance to distance myself from all that is going on. Pray for journey mercies.
