Alone Is Not Lonely...

finally....

2009-12-23T21:31:00.002+08:00

after MONTHS of looking for it, i finally found the book i've been looking for:
A twenty-six-word parade of hope: beginning with God, ending with life, and urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms and questions. if you know nothing of the Bible, start here. if you know everything in the Bible, return here. We all need the reminder. the heart of the human problem is the heart of the human. And god’s treatment is prescribed in John 3:16.

it's christmas!

i've just said goodbye to yet another friend who's left to further their studies....
one by one.....they all leave.....mandy, guan yi, yee fatt, yew hui...

i guess this is part of life...learning to say goodbye to people you've come to love...

for example..why was it so hard for me to lift up my arms and give him a hug this morning? i dunno...maybe because there were so many family members there (7 - i counted)...i wanted so badly to give him a gesture to say how much i would miss him, but ARGH! i don't know why it was so hard for me! and unless he comes back to miri during cny, then this morning was the last time i'd see him...he's off to kl to study for 2.5 years, so by the time he comes back i'll be long gone...

argh...seeing all my friends leave makes me want to leave too...i want to hurry up and fly to uk and start over....can next year please come faster?

Okay, I’m guessing no one who reads my blog has ever heard of Doctor Who (which is a wicked awesome British tv series and i love it!!) so I’ll start with the basics:

The series started in the 1960’s stopped for a long time and only started again recently.

It’s about a time lord called the Doctor. The time lords were sort of like the peacemakers of the universe, but they were all killed in a huge war known as the Time War, and the Doctor is the only survivor.

Another important thing about the time lords is that they don’t die – their bodies can still be damaged, but they regenerate – the body changes and repairs itself and the time lord lives on.

And as the doctor is the only one left, he lives a pretty lonely life… He sometimes finds human companions and brings them on all sorts of adventures, but unfortunately they never stay with him long…something always happens to them…the doctor has lost so much in his long life – his home, his family, his friends, and he seems to keep on losing people he loves..

this video is made by seduff and depicts perfectly the doctor’s loss… ='(

I've only ever read the comments of fellow dr who fans, so i'm showing it to people who have never watched the series, let me know what you think....

(another video to be posted soon)

rant

2009-08-29T17:55:00.005+08:00

what? so everything revolves around you?
Nah, it works both ways now. You don't tell me anything, I don't tell YOU anything. Don't like it? Tough.

I see you packing your suitcase out of the blue one morning before i head off for school...
"Oh, you're packing. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Kuching, Kalysha."
*slightly taken aback* "oh, how come you didn't tell me?"
"What, I have to get your permission, do I?"
WTF??

You spend half your time away, you're going to miss things. (there's no such thing as email?)
I tell mummy everything. You know why? Because she's HERE.
My life could be falling to pieces, my studies could be going down the drain, what would you care?
You spend more than half your time away from home, and when you're back it's as though you're not. You hide in your study all day with your eyes glued to the computer.
We can't even sit down and watch a movie together. Half way through you go back to your computer. "Work comes first, Kalysha"
Your 3 weeks are almost up, you haven't even spent 2 hours QT with me. I mean, it's not as though you ever take us out, treat us to anything, or do anything with us. It's just you and your computer and your pub and your friends. WHAT ABOUT YOUR KIDS??
okay, you take james to his karate sessions once a week, i'll give you that, and you took me to des-optics to get my glasses (btw, we fought on the way there, remember? you and your friggin' directions. Is it my fault the girl has crap english?? I'm just repeating word by word what she said!)
You know what? just go. I don't care anymore. if this keeps going, you're going to lose me.

2009-08-22T16:35:00.002+08:00

yes!! it finally came!

okay...so i haven't exactly been able to solve it completely....i always seem to get stuck on the final layer... =(

but i WILL figure it out eventually......

2009-08-09T19:10:00.003+08:00

what?? i just checked my email yesterday....

turns out i was tagged in a photo on facebook, and loads (and i mean loads) of people commented on it....

2009-08-04T10:23:00.000+08:00

dammit, all that studying for nothing.

2009-07-24T21:44:00.006+08:00

What kind of crappy holiday is this where you have to study study study every day???

these holidays suck..... ='(

2009-07-19T11:45:00.002+08:00

Last night i learnt a valuable lesson:
i CANNOT sing when i'm nervous.
seriously, my hands were shaking, my knees felt weak, my throat closed up, and my voice was reduced to a squeak.

Okay, I'll start from the beginning....
last night, my neighbours held a party to celebrate their daughter's 2nd birthday (actually, it was just an excuse for the grown ups to have fun, it wasn't much of a kid's party)
And because i had Youth, i wasn't able to go until around 9:30, and by then the party was in full swing, and i'll give them this: they really know how to party...
The food was almost gone (but there was still some left for my dinner..hehe) and.......wait for it........they had a live band performing!!
actually it was the live band which attracted me in the first place... I had arrived home already, and wasn't really planning on going...but then i heard the drums....and well, it brought back memories....so i rushed over. [btw, the band consisted of 30+, 40+ yr old local guys, bit of a disappointment when i got there]

So anyway........i ate, laughed, danced a bit....the band was actually like a karaoke system...they played the music while the guests sang...
And i was enjoying myself so much, i thought, 'hey, why not?'
so i flipped through the songbook, found a song i knew [Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name] and went up. thinking back, i don't know WHAT came over me....since when do i voluntarily walk onstage to sing? (there's actually more to it, but i'll get to that later)

Well, like i said, my throat closed up, and all that became of my voice was a pipsqeak, and i sounded terrible, and i just COULD NOT sing....and yet, the people watching cheered and shouted and applauded (either they were very drunk, or they were just excited to finally see a girl go up)

I think that was the point though.... No matter how much you suck at singing, they cheer for you and encourage you... (trust me, i wasn't the only one who sucked) I guess the whole point is that you hitched up your jeans, pushed back your sleeves, and stepped up to sing. The main thing is that you have fun.
And eventhough my voice was a squeak, the audience sang along...
"shot through the heart, and you're to blame, you give love A BAD NAME"
whoa.....it was just surreal... =D

And....oh, i almost forgot to mention the SUPER CUTE guy who was smiling at me the whole night.....heheh.... he's the one who pulled me on stage to sing in the first place... and while i was squeaking away, he was right there swaying and clapping to the music and smiling at me.... *blushes*

so yeah.....eventhough i had loads of fun last night, i think maybe i should save my voice for God, just sing in church, it seems to be the only place where i can sing well.....my throat doesn't close up and my hands don't shake when i sing in church.... =P

more editing....

2009-07-14T21:26:00.006+08:00

wahaha.....been fiddling around again.... with different people this time..... i really really like the first one.... =D

the photo was taken last year at the graduation ceremony.... i just changed the background coz there was a bunch of random people in the background....

["Lord, please hurry and perform a miracle and heal my legs to their original state"]

we were chit-chatting in Bio today about how sometimes we forget to realise how lucky we are....we compare ourselves to those who are better-off than us, and think to ourselves "why can't i be like that?" or "why do they get it so easy?" or "I wish i was as rich as them".

What we don't realise is that although we're not as well-off as some, there are others who are in even worse conditions than we are....others who drew a shorter stick, others who were born in less fortunate circumstances....

I'm not just talking about the poor souls in Africa, i'm talking about friends, classmates, schoolmates who live among us....

we were sharing stories this morning about our childhood...and i was mildly surprised to hear agnes' story, whom i always imagined was quite well off....she told us about how she first started working when she was 10, selling and delivering luches to shops all over Parksons...she told us how she and her brothers used to travel to school on their father's motocycle, and she told us how mean the other kids were to her and how they looked down and teased her....

And her story made me realise, eventhough i grew up with a military dad, who is still super strict, i never had to work, i never had to pay my own school fees, i was never teased by my classmates because i was poor.....

I realise now how well my dad brought me up.

He set a bedtime ever since i was young, so i now have the habit of getting 8 hours sleep per night, and waking up fresh and able to pay full attention in class...He never gave me pocket money unless i earned it by washing his car..it's made me value the money i earn even more...He kept me away from boys, so i haven't been cheated or had my heart broken...He only buys me presents on special occasions like Christmas and my birthday, so i know better than to ask for this and that when he takes me out...When i'm in trouble, he doesn't shout or cane me, but the disappointment and fury in his voice is enough to make me cry with guilt for what i've done...

so, yeah... our chat today with ms may really made me realise a lot...

photoshop...

2009-07-02T12:26:00.007+08:00

haha....i've recently discovered the wonders of photoshop(actually photostudio...but who cares?)...i never knew it could be so fun.....i never actually learnt how to use it, as in, no one ever told me what to do, i just fiddled around and tried out random tools...heheh...

thing is..Mandy's (far left) going to kl to study soon (very soon), and i wanted to frame this picture and give it to her, but i thought.....'nah..the background's so ugly.....if i could just change it....'

so i started looking through some files on my computer and found some nice ones....cut us out and stuck us on the background.... =D ta-da!

i really like this....

God Is Cheering For You

2009-06-09T09:38:00.000+08:00

by Max Lucado

If your God is Mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that He is mighty enough to light your path?

God is for you.
Not “may be,” not “has been,” not “was,” not “would be,” but “God is!”
He is for you.
Today. At this hour. At this minute. As you read this sentence.
No need to wait in line or come back tomorrow.
He is with you.
He could not be closer than he is at this second.
His loyalty won’t increase if you are better nor lessen if you are worse.
He is for you.

God is for you. Turn to the sidelines; that’s God cheering your run.
Look past the finish line; that’s God applauding your steps.
Listen for him in the bleachers, shouting your name.
Too tired to continue? He’ll carry you.
Too discouraged to fight? He’s picking you up.
God is for you.

God is for you.
Had he a calendar, your birthday would be circled.
If he drove a car, your name would be on his bumper.
If there’s a tree in heaven, he’s carved your name in the bark.
We know he has a tattoo, and we know what it says.
“I have written your name on my hand,” he declares (Isa. 49:16).

A girl's world

2009-04-27T21:37:00.002+08:00

When a GIRL is quiet ...
millions of things are running in her mind.

When a GIRL is not arguing ...
she is thinking deeply.

When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ...
she is wondering how long you will be around.

When a GIRL answers ' I'm fine ' after a few seconds ...
she is not at all fine.

When a GIRL stares at you she is wondering why you are lying.

When a GIRL lays on your chest ..
she is wishing for you to be hers forever.

When a GIRL wants to see you everyday...
she wants to be pampered.

When a GIRL says ' I love you ' ..
she means it.

When a GIRL says ' I miss you ' ....
no one in this world can miss you more than that.

MERLIN!!!

2009-04-24T20:18:00.006+08:00

*sigh* i've been neglecting my blog for too long......i'm sorry bloggie....

so anyway.......i was flicking through the channels on tv the other day and stopped on Hallmark.....the show that was on seemed pretty cool so i double checked it - it's called Merlin.... so i watched the rest of it, and let me tell you, it was FREAKIN" AMAZING!! i was just "wow" afterwards, and i thought to myself, "okay, i am SO watching this from now on.....

and now i'm addicted....thank God it's on Youtube so i can watch it from episode 1...

okay, so for those who don't know who Merlin is;

he's one of the most famous wizards in history....it's believed (legend) that King Arthur (one of Britain's greatest kings) had a wizard helping him in the sidelines - and that's why he was so successful during his rule... Disney made a movie based on these legends - "The Sword In The Stone", where Merlin is portrayed as an old man with a tall point hat and long white beard (like Dumbledore)..

But in the tv series i've been watching, Merlin is portrayed as a young boy who meets Arthur before he is crowned king and "befriends" him...(turns out it's their destiny) and "both are two sides of the same coin" and it's Merlin's duty to protect Arthur from all sorts of villians who want to kill him.. (and btw, Colin Morgan, who plays Merlin, is super adorable!!)

introducing................MERLIN!!

and this is Prince Arthur....(the best swordsman in Camelot)

and this is Nimueh, she's an EVIL sorceress (but very pretty, i think)..she wants to kill Arthur, but she realises she has to get past Merlin first..so she can't kill one without the other...(again, two sides of a coin)

PRETTY COOL, HUH? =D

He Did It Just For You

2009-04-23T13:15:00.000+08:00

by Max Lucado

When God entered time and became a man, he who was boundless became bound. Imprisoned in flesh. Restricted by weary-prone muscles and eyelids. For more than three decades, his once limitless reach would be limited to the stretch of an arm, his speed checked to the pace of human feet.

I wonder, was he ever tempted to reclaim his boundlessness? In the middle of a long trip, did he ever consider transporting himself to the next city? When the rain chilled his bones, was he tempted to change the weather? When the heat parched his lips, did he give thought to popping over to the Caribbean for some refreshment?

If ever he entertained such thoughts, he never gave in to them. Not once. Stop and think about this. Not once did Christ use his supernatural powers for personal comfort. With one word he could’ve transformed the hard earth into a soft bed, but he didn’t. With a wave of his hand, he could’ve boomeranged the spit of his accusers back into their faces, but he didn’t. With an arch of his brow, he could’ve paralyzed the hand of the soldier as he braided the crown of thorns. But he didn’t.

Want to know the coolest thing about the coming?

Not that he, in an instant, went from needing nothing to needing air, food, a tub of hot water and salts for his tired feet, and, more than anything, needing somebody—anybody—who was more concerned about where he would spend eternity than where he would spend Friday’s paycheck.

Not that he kept his cool while the dozen best friends he ever had felt the heat and got out of the kitchen. Or that he gave no command to the angels who begged, “Just give the nod, Lord. One word and these demons will be deviled eggs.”

Not that he refused to defend himself when blamed for every sin since Adam. Or that he stood silent as a million guilty verdicts echoed in the tribunal of heaven and the giver of light was left in the chill of a sinner’s night.

Not even that after three days in a dark hole he stepped into the Easter sunrise with a smile and a swagger and a question for lowly Lucifer—“Is that your best punch?”

That was cool, incredibly cool.

But want to know the coolest thing about the One who gave up the crown of heaven for a crown of thorns?

He did it for you. Just for you.

phew...

Keep the Christians busy

2009-03-25T16:57:00.005+08:00

Satan called a worldwide convention.

In his opening address to his assembled demons he said:
"We cannot keep the Christians from going to church. We cannot keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We cannot even keep them from conservative values. Nevertheless, we can do something else.
We can keep them from forming an intimate, abiding relationship with Christ. If they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken.
So, let them go to church, let them have their conservative lifestyle, but steal their time, so they cannot gain that relationship.
This is what I want you to do. Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection!"

"How shall we do this?" shouted the demons.

"Keep them busy with the non-essentials of life. Invent schemes to occupy their time." he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, then borrow, borrow, borrow. Convince the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6 or 7 days a week, 10 - 12 hours a day, so they can afford their lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As their family fragments, soon their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work. Also:
~Super-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice.
~Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive, and to keep the TV, VCR, CD players and PCs going constantly in their homes.
~See to it that every store and restaurant in the world blares secular music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.
~Fill their coffee tables with secular magazines and newspapers.
~Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day.
~Invade their driving moments with billboards.
~Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, sweepstakes, mail order catalogues, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering, free products, services, and false hopes.
~In their recreation, let them be excessive. Have them return from their recreation exhausted, disquieted, and unprepared for the coming week.
~Do not let them go out in nature to reflect on God' s wonders. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, concerts, and movies instead.
~When they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences and unsettled emotion.
~Let them be involved in soul-winning, but crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Christ in prayer. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."

Convention Aftermath
It was quite a convention. The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busy, busy, busy and rush here and there.

Has the devil been successful at his scheme? You be the judge.

How about this definition of BUSY: Being Under Satan's Yoke.

2009-03-22T12:43:00.002+08:00

I asked God for strength, so I could flourish;

He gave me weakness, so I could learn to rely.

I asked God for wealth, so I could be content;
He gave me insufficiency, so I could learn wisdom.

I asked God for flair, so I could earn people's praise;
He gave me humility, so I could learn to earn His praise.

I asked God for triumph, so I could reach my goals;
He gave me hardship, so I could learn to endure.

I asked God for what is temporary, He gave me what is eternal;
Because He loves me with unfailing love.

(yay! Daddy's coming home tomorrow!!)

different options

2009-02-23T16:25:00.003+08:00

There are 4 categories of students in the academic world: each consisting of 2 particular characteristics:

1st category: hardworking; good results
2nd category: lazy; good results
3rd category: hardworking; poor results
4th category: lazy; poor results

For obvious reasons, I envy people from the second category. They put in absolutely no effort, and yet get straight A's without breaking a sweat.
As for the 3rd category, i feel sorry for them.. they put in SO much effort, they try and they try, they do their best, and yet every time exams come, they're set up for disappointment again and again.

Sometimes i wonder how God can be so unfair. But then i remember:
Each one of us has our own abilities. God is fair. He gives different gifts to each of His children. Some of us are gifted academically, and others in different fields. Whether it's music, art, cookery or helping others, each one of us specialise in our own outstanding way. Like Rick Warren wrote, each one of us has our own SHAPE.

We don't all have to be engineers or doctor or vets. Those aren't the only careers in the world. We have musicians, architects, psychologists, actors, chefs, businessmen, big bosses of huge companies (e.g. Mr Lau Kiu Kiong) out in the society earning millions, some of which didn't even go to college or university.
If one option seems blocked, broaden your mind. Maybe God wants you to excel in a different area. Try a different path.

2009-02-14T10:57:00.013+08:00

Happy Valentines Day, everyone!! but let's not forget where love first came from:

"And God so loved the world He gave His one and only Son, that all those who believe in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

"We love because He first loved us." (1 John 4:19)

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keepos no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

give your all

We've all heard the story where God tests Abraham:
God asked Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son to see if there was anything in his life that he treasured more than God. After all, Abraham's son was given to him by God, if God wants to take the boy back, Abraham ought to give his all to please God. (Genesis 22:1-12)
It's the same with us. Although God may not ask us to sacrifice (as in kill) the ones we love for Him anymore, He still expects us to give our all in different ways.
He may ask us to give up our natural instincts to seek revenge so that we may communicate His forgiving love by forgiving our enemies.
He may call us to sacrifice portions of our time or money or comforts to advance His cause.
Imagine inviting special friends over for dinner and just throwing a bunch of leftovers into the microwave. You can imagine how offended they would be.
It's the same with God. Whether we give Him the leftovers in our life or give Him our very best. The way we respond to what He requires echos how we really feel about Him.
Remember, He gave His one and only son for us. How could we make a lesser sacrifice?
No sacrifice we make is too great for the One who sacrificed His all.

what's the point in holding on so hard to something when it's inevitable that you're going to lose it?
I read something somewhere the other day...it goes something like this:

"If you really love something, let it go free. After it's free, if it comes back to you, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it never was."

Jealousy is a strange thing...especially when mixed with shyness...you feel terrible but you're too much of a coward to say anything.. I never imagined i'd be so torn up over someone...

Rise Up!

"Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!'
So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. the cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached to tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed...........On the evening of the first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you!'. After he said this, he showed them his hand and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord."

John 20:1-8, 19-20

"You, being dead in your trespasses,.....He has made alive together with Him."

Colossians 2:13

On February 6, 1958, a chartered plane carrying most of the members of the English soccer team Manchester United crashed on takeoff from Munich, Germany. With so many of their star players lost, some despaired over the prospects for the team's survival. Yet today it is one of the best-known teams in the world. Fittingly, the man who rebuilt the team, Matt Busby, survived the crash himself.

Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus' arrest and subsequent crucifixion caused many of His followers to despair. The disciples themselves had lost hope. But their despondency evaporated on that first Easter morning when they found that the stone sealing the tomb had been moved aside (John 20:1). Jesus had risen!

Jesus soon appeared to Mary Magdalene (v.11-16) and then to his disciples (v.19). His visit brought a remarkable change in them. As one version renders it, they were 'overjoyed' (v.20).

Perhaps your world has crashed around you. It may be a deep personal loss, a tragedy in your family, or some other great trial. Jesus' resurrection proved that He is greater than the greatest obstacles. He can rebuild your life - as He did with His disciples - starting today.

God can turn any difficulty into an opportunity.

Mommy

2009-01-18T21:26:00.003+08:00

(I cried when i read this...it's really touching.... what's sad, is, this really happens in the world...it's not fiction...this kind of thing actually happens...so sad..)

Mommy, Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack.

Mommy, I was a good girl,
I did what I was told,
I went to school,
I got straight A's,
I even got the gold!

But Mommy, when I went school that day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go,
But Mommy, please don't cry.

When Johnny shot the gun,
He hit me and another,
And all because Johnny,
Got the gun from his older brother.

Mommy, please tell Daddy:
That I love him very much,
And please tell Chris, my boyfriend:
That it wasn't just a crush.

And tell my little sister:
That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grandmother:
I'll by waiting for her now,
And tell my wonderful friends:
That they always were the best.

Mommy, I'm not the first,
I'm no better than the rest.
Mommy, tell my teachers:
I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this,
And please don't let this pass.

Mommy, why'd it have to be me?
No one deserves this,
Mommy, warn the others,
Mommy, I left without a kiss.

And Mommy, tell the doctors:
I know they really did try,
I think I even saw a doctor,
Trying not to cry.

Mommy, I'm slowly dying,
With a bullet in my chest,
But Mommy, please remember,
I'm in heaven with the rest.

Mommy, I ran as fast as I could,
When I heard that crack,
Mommy, listen to me if you would,
I'm not coming back.

I wanted to go to college,
I wanted to try things that were new,
I guess I'm not going with Daddy,
On that trip to the new zoo.

I wanted to get married,
I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress,
Mommy, I wanted to live.

But Mommy I must go now,
The time is getting late,
Mommy, tell my boyfriend:
I'm sorry but I had to cancel the date.

I love you Mommy, I always have,
I know you know it's true,
And Mommy all I wanted to say is,
"Mommy, I love you."

You And Me (JP)

2009-01-11T12:23:00.002+08:00

You and me,
we're just friends
we've known each other ages,
seen all the trends
Could this be the end?

It's been a while,
you and me
since we last saw each other
my impatience and my longing
known to no one.

We share something special
something no one else seems to care about
just the two of us, you and me
But we're just friends (right?)

We share secrets, you and me
things we've never told anyone before
Don't worry, your secret is safe with me
I'll take it to the grave.

I miss it when it was just us,
just you and me.

You mentioned you might be dropping by,
I know I'll be looking forward to that moment
all day long.

Sometimes I miss you,
so much to the point it hurts,
and not a moment goes by,
where I forget to remember you.

What's funny is,
you're only 5 minutes walk away
How can it be so hard
to push a few buttons
and hear your voice

You're the light
at the end of the tunnel
the one I look forward to
But sometimes that tunnel
seems, oh, so long
When will I see you again, my friend?

2009-01-09T13:18:00.002+08:00

My throat goes dry
My heart stops
My hands go numb
My stomach drops

I start to sweat
I want to hide
I need someone
To be by my side

You're always on my mind
And you're all i think about
Just seeing you smile
Makes me blush and pout

But this is a feeling I can't explain
An emotional feeling without a doubt
But my only question for you is this,
Is this what love is all about?

ugh..i can't believe the holidays are over already...they were so much fun!!
I really enjoyed myself this (or I should say last) month...all the camps and activities at church kept me so busy and happy...I am NOT looking forward to classes starting in a few days..
I just came back from a farewell camp which lasted 3 days and 2 nights..and now I feel really flat that everything's over and school starts in a few days..
Concerning holiday homework, I haven't finished all of it, because, like I said, I've just been soooo busy...but at least i've done some of it..hopefully I can finish it when I'm in the mood for studying (and before the teachers cover it)...
and btw..HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!!!

helloo..i'm back!

2008-12-25T19:15:00.011+08:00

Hellooo, there! yes, i'm sorry my blog has been MIA these past two weeks....and it's not that nothing interesting has been happening, it's just that there's been SO MUCH happening and i don't know where to start!
First and foremost: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Secondly, i've been going for a holiday course thing at church twice a week where we do Bible study and other cool fun activities, like decorating the church, wrapping presents for the kids...

Then there's the christmas dance... we've been practising for just over a week for today's performance...that was super fun!! haha...and it was the first time I was in charge of a dance...lol..pressure!! But it turned out okay..everyone really liked it..

ooh...and christmas carolling!! how amazing was that? this year was the first time my church sent out carol groups....and i really enjoyed myself!! ^^ (unfortunately i don't have any pics yet...i'll upload them as soon as i have them)

Your thoughts are all happy, sitting high in your chair,
But when it comes to others, I guess you just don’t care.
I can see an old man walking alone in the street,
With cuts on his hands, and no shoes on his feet.
You’ve got your family, to love and to hold,
While he has no one to love, all alone in the cold.
You’re laying in a bed all warm in the night,
While he’s laying in a box, full of fear and fright.
One day you meet him, and he asks for some change,
Of course you deny, just don’t feel like the shame.
But one day you’re sorry, so you go back and see,
But the man you ignored, can no longer be.

Written by Kimmy the sofa:

2008-12-07T12:44:00.001+08:00

Oh, my twitchy, witchy girl,
I think you are so nice,
I give you bowls of porridge,
I give you lots of ice,
cream.
I give you lots of kisses,
I give you lots of hugs,
But I never give you sandwiches,
with bugs,
in.

Once upon a time, there was a girl who used to dance a lot, and her name was Apple. One day, she danced and danced till her feet turned into sausages. THE END.

Once upon a time, there was a sponge named Bob. Let’s call him Sponge-Bob, and he had an amazing sponge, which heals plankton rash. One day his friend, a starfish called Pat-Rick had plankton rash on his butt, which he had caught by accidentally squatting on plankton when a toilet was unavailable. Sponge-Bob says ‘AHA, Pat-Rick! I have a solution to your problem!’ and he rubbed his amazing sponge on Pat-Rick’s butt and the plankton rash magically disappeared. Both Pat-Rick and Sponge-Bob were both so happy that they danced and danced till their feet turned into sausages. THE END

As I close my eyes

2008-12-04T11:59:00.003+08:00

As I close my eyes
I see a picture of his face
As I close my eyes
I see him laying beside me
As I close my eyes
I see him with his arms around me
As I close my eyes
I see him kissing me
But as I open my eyes I notice it was all a dream

new layout..

2008-11-27T21:01:00.003+08:00

I've been so crazy over Twilight lately that i felt i just had to show the whole world how pathetically OBSESSED i am...so i changed the layout...
Haha, actually, i was getting kinda tired with the old layout, so i started hunting for something new..and that's when the thought hit me: "He-llo? How 'bout Twilight?" So i ran a search and tada! found the perfect layout... ^^
and need i mention i just L-O-V-E it??

How...?

2008-11-26T15:06:00.004+08:00

How pathetic is it to miss someone so much when they live practically next door to you?
How is it possible to not have caught a glimpse of that someone when you supposedly cross paths everyday on the way to school?
How can you miss someone who you haven't seen in months, yet is just a dial away? (Why is it so hard to dial a number?)
How can you miss someone so much to the point it hurts, when in fact they're only 5 minutes walk away?

New Moon to be made into a movie!!

2008-11-25T17:31:00.003+08:00

[An extract from www.stepheniemeyer.com]

***November 22, 2008***
In case you haven't read about it on fansites or movie blogs, here is the news that we have all been waiting for [source: Summit Entertainment (summit-ent.com)]

SUMMIT ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES TWILIGHT SEQUEL - NEW MOON

Los Angeles, CA November 22, 2008 — Summit Entertainment announced today that the studio is officially moving forward with the production of NEW MOON, the second installment of its filmed franchise TWILIGHT, the action-packed, modern day vampire love story. The movie will be based on the second novel in author Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series titled, New Moon. The first movie in the TWILIGHT franchise, the self-titled TWILIGHT, arrived in theaters this weekend to sold-out showings.

Stephenie Meyer stated, "I don't think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on NEW MOON."

Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, TWILIGHT tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her father, and becomes drawn to Edward Cullen, a pale, mysterious classmate who seems determined to push her away. But neither can deny the attraction that pulls them together...even when Edward confides that he and his family are vampires. Their unorthodox romance puts her in physical danger when Edward's nemesis comes to town and sets his sights on Bella.

2008-11-13T20:55:00.001+08:00

I suddenly had a really really scary thought:
What if Twilight doesn't show in Malaysia?!?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The thought suddenly came to me when i wondered how come i haven't seen it advertising on tv or whatever.....i mean, high school musical is showing NON STOP...along with the new James Bond movie.............BUT WHAT ABOUT TWILIGHT????
if it doesn't come out in Malaysia, i think i will DIE.............well..okay, maybe not..i'm exaggerating....but STILL... i would be really really disappointed... I've been waiting for this movie FOREVER, and if it turns out i don't even get to see it....*sigh* the disappointment would just be too much to bear...

2008-11-10T15:30:00.001+08:00

E.X.A.M.S

Lord, please help me do well.

sigh

2008-11-06T22:29:00.003+08:00

I've been thinking about 'him' a lot lately.....a lot more than usual...and i can't keep it bottled up anymore...i have to let it out!!
I think it's because i haven't seen him in ages....not seeing him for so long is finally getting to me...it's driving me up the wall! Every now and then i'll suddenly think of him, not for long though, just long enough for that twang of sadness...either something will remind me of him, or i'll suddenly remember something we shared together, and i'll be lost in my memories for a moment....
gawd, i hate it when i crush on a guy...it lasts forever! i've been like this since the beginning of the year! it's getting embarrassing! not to mention pathetic..
and of all the people to fall for, why does it have to be HIM?? the one person i can't bear to lose...the one i'd miss the most if i lost him in any way....
but i'm starting to fear i've lost him already...the simple fact that i just don't see him anymore..sometimes i wonder if he thinks of me half as often as i think of him...
maybe this is why i can't seem to be concentrating as much as i should be for next week's exams...

have faith

2008-11-04T09:57:00.004+08:00

whoa....where DOES the time go??
Exams are NEXT WEEK and i feel like i haven't studied at all...*gulp*
But lately i've been praying a lot...praying to God to get me through these exams....for Him to give me strength, wisdom, perseverance...
Like before the maths and bio quiz, i prayed and prayed....and He really helped me! I got 85 for the bio quiz and i'm not sure about maths yet, but i felt pretty okay while i was taking it...
I guess, as long as i have faith in Him and put SOME effort in my studies, He will help me get through it all....He will not desert me... Like it says in purpose driven life, "He will never desert you, nor will He leave you to struggle on your own. Just as a mother would not leave her baby crying in the street, neither will He abandon you."

2008-11-02T10:06:00.003+08:00

Do NOT get excited or gasp in shock, this is not mine!

This is just a copy of the original, and it's the next one on my list to tackle...

It's called 'songs under the apple tree' and is done by Linda Bergkvist....nice huh?

Facing The Giants

2008-10-26T14:38:00.002+08:00

Last night at Youth we watched this really nice movie, Facing The Giants...
It's amazing!! It's really motivating, and inspirational..such a GREAT movie!!
It's about a football coach who hits rock bottom in his life...everything's just going wrong....and when you think, okay, it CANNOT get any worse...it does.
In desperation, the coach turns to God and begs for light in his time of darkness.. Then from there, it's just miracle after miracle..and you're just like...W.O.W.
I seriously recommend EVERYONE to watch it....you can find it on YouTube....it is SO worth it...
My favourite scene is when one of the football players carries another one on his back the entire length of the field on his arms....when i was watching it, i was like 'come on! come on! a little bit further! you can do it!' I was almost jumping out of my seat...it was THAT good....
i just LOVE this movie....so motivating!! and it's great for non-believers too...so they can see that with God, nothing is impossible. Here's a quick trailer for the movie:

2008-10-25T17:43:00.003+08:00

**jumps up and down like an idiot and squeals excitedly**
yay! yay! yay!! *screams*

2008-10-23T10:09:00.001+08:00

I haven't been blogging much lately...i suddenly looked at the calendar and thought......"what?? 2 weeks left?! Okay, i better put my paintbrushes down and start studying!!"
So i've mostly been studying the past few days...maths quiz on thursday, bio quiz on friday.....
then the semester exams in a couple of weeks...there's A LOT to study now...twice as much as last time...so i won't be blogging much for the next couple of weeks....i'll be studying my brains out...
over and out!

2008-10-18T10:30:00.001+08:00

yay, Aladdin and Jasmine!! ^^ A Whole Neeeeew Woooorld..... =P

2008-10-17T10:15:00.002+08:00

lol....okay, so since EVERYONE seems to be reading Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, i think i will too....(eventhough i already read it last year =P)

I was touched after reading Michelle's recent post, i just feel i need to get motivated again...

I've kinda had a dream to either be an artist or a vet since i was young, but in reality, come on, a vet? I heard only the best of the best of the best ever get chosen, and to be honest, i'm not even a best...

Then i thought about studying forensics cause i love CSI....but that seems a bit high too...so maybe i need to come back down to earth and reconsider my options...pull myself together....find my purpose......and i'm going to do that by re-reading Purpose Driven Life...

Here is my "masterpiece" =PAs you can see, the face is horribly mishapen.... =P But apart from that, overall i think it's quite okay....of course it's beyond my capability to copy the oringinal 100%, all i can do is give it my best....

original : mine

In my defence, my painting itself, instead of just a photo of it, is waay cooler.... (in my opinion) When i compare the two side by side (the original and my version) , it just doesn't look as cool....heheh... =P

2008-10-15T22:05:00.000+08:00

Yes!!! finally finished!! Ive been working on this painting for 3-4 months now....and i just finished it last night!! so relieved!

I haven't photographed mine yet, so this is just the oringinal....what i do is develop the original, and try to imitate it as best as i can....I'll post pictures of my imitation as soon as possible...

These are some of my previous works...

Today is Jinky's birthday......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JINKY!!!!
I gave him the card we all signed....Powerpuff girls! Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup! He told me he really likes it...^^
well.....he SHOULD! I put A LOT of effort into it...and it came out really nice...even I like it! =) hehe...

2008-10-12T16:19:00.005+08:00

My next painting to tackle:One of my Youth teachers just LOVES Totoro, and she asked if i could paint her a picture of Totoro, and i thought, hey, why not? After all she's done for me the past 5 years, it's the least i can do.... ^^

2008-10-10T15:57:00.002+08:00

Busy busy busy.......
been so busy the past few days.....bio, chem, and plus all the cards i've been making....Teacher Michael's....Jinky's....Miss May's.....the first two with deadlines...luckily there's still a long way till Ms May's...so i can take my time with her card....I'm planning to post them once they're done....

2008-10-08T12:20:00.003+08:00

Who was I kidding?....Of course i would cry..... I cried A LOT.....i couldn't help it.....it was so sad.....
The microphone was passed around the congregation so if anyone had anything to say, they were free to do so...It started off with Brother Chew's wife and she read out a letter she found among his possessions which she wrote to him 10 years ago - it was the first time he had to go off on business since their marridge. In it she wrote how much she missed him and how unnatural it felt without him there.....
Then the was passed to his two children. The youngest went first. She thanked her daddy for buying her dolls, and for playing with her.....Then it was the son's turn. Being a bit older, he understood that he wouldn't be seeing his daddy anymore and was crying as well.....He thanked his daddy for buying him a basketball, and for sending him to school and picking him up, and asked his daddy to say hi to Jesus for him....
Then it was Brother Chew's brother's turn.... Since Bro. Chew was the only christian in his family, the rest of his family had only been to church a few times before.....His brother could hardly speak - his voice was shaking so hard and he was crying non-stop. He mostly shared childhood memories, and his feelings now that his little brother is no longer here....One of the things he said really stuck with me.... "In '97 we came to church to attend his wedding......In 2008 we came to church to attend his funeral."
HOW SAD IS THAT???
And so the mic was passed around....every few passes someone said a few words...mostly memories and how they met Bro. Chew and how long they knew him...a lot of people directed their words to Bro. Chew's family, hoping they accept Jesus as their saviour and one day meet their beloved son/brother again...
It was a very sad night....lots of tears..... I just hope there won't be another one anytime soon.....

2008-10-07T16:16:00.000+08:00

Going to the memorial service tonight.....hope I don't cry...

Tragedy...

2008-10-05T15:24:00.002+08:00

Life is so short.
Not long ago our church experienced the passing away of Elder Jong. Yesterday, exactly one month later, our church suffered another loss - Brother Chew
A short intro on Brother Chew:
He would have celebrated his 40th birthday on Saturday. He has (had) a wife and two children – a boy a girl. The son, who is the eldest, is only in Primary 2. Brother Chew and his wife are (were? I’m confused whether to use past or present tense) very active in church – they’re one of the couples the rest of us admire…both of them are Sunday school teachers and almost half of our Youth [population] have been their students once upon a time, so this kinda “hit” us harder than Elder Jong’s passing…
No one could have guessed he would leave us so suddenly.
Early yesterday morning, his wife found him in bed as usual. She only noticed something was wrong when she found she couldn’t wake him. It took a while to sink in - he had passed away in his sleep.
Doctors suspect he suffered from a silent heart attack. What’s so upsetting, apart from the suddenness of it all, is the fact that Brother Chew had no other symptoms. Apart from a little discomfort last year, nothing.
Nothing. Just out of the blue, one morning his wife couldn’t wake him up. Tragic and heartbreaking. Unbelievable. Just like that. You go to sleep and don’t wake up. Life is so short. We should cherish the time we have now....it could end any time...we have no idea whether or not we'll live to see tomorrow...This shock really put everything into perspective for me...

Our only comfort is that he WILL wake up. We all will. When we are done here, we WILL open our eyes again. One day we’ll all be reunited. We comfort ourselves with the fact that God loves us so much He would never let us perish. That is my firm belief.
I regret that I don’t have a photo of their family to show everyone what a beautiful family they were…I so wish I did….

Another preview for Twilight:

Woohoo! I LOVE Twilight!! *sigh* Edward and Bella...And I'm currently reading Midnight Sun, which is Twilight from Edward's point of view....seriously addictive! once you start, you just can't stop!! (well, I can't)
Yay Twilight!!

Selamat Hari Raya

2008-10-01T19:05:00.007+08:00

Selamat Hari Raya everyone!!
Today wasn't much of a celebration for me though...I didn't go out visiting coz I don't know any Muslim friends...I just sat at home and finished my pencil case....yay! finally finished!

and yes, every single thread is hand-stitched.....exhausting! but i'm really happy with it.. ^^ ..i've pushed my patience to the limit and I won!! heheh...but i kinda negleced it for a few weeks though....just lost interest.... and then I picked it up again just as the holidays were coming to an end...and now it's finally completed!! ^^

new layout..

2008-09-28T15:55:00.003+08:00

hehe...like my new layout? ^^
I got bored of the old one and decided to change it, mostly because there were a few glitches with the old layout - the c-box which double posts everything, and the fact that posts with videos end up really choppy [like my previous post]...another reason i prefer this layout is because everything is on the same page...the music player, the c-box, the 'about me' section...

Twilight high...

2008-09-26T13:17:00.012+08:00

*groan* holidays almost over... =(

The past two weeks just flew by....and eventhough i know i should have studied.............i didn't get round to doing much....just mostly spent my days hanging around the house, watching tv and surfing the net and reading Breaking Dawn....oh oh oh!! BREAKING DAWN!! There are no words to describe it....except for so friggin' amazing!!!! Stephenie really outdid herself this time...the final installment of the Twilight Saga was a perfect finish...Edward and Bella and Reneesme live happily ever after for ever and ever... ^^

and oh, while i'm still high on the topic of twilight.........the movie's coming out!!!! woohoo! cannot wait!! [and yes, I am aware it doesn't come out until 21 November]

For anyone out there who has not read Twilight, i HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT....if, you know...you like romance stories about vampires and werewolves and humans..... =P I love it so so so much! Stephenie Meyer is such a great author! And i am forever indebted to Michelle for introducing me to the world of Twilight in the first place..THANK YOU MICHELLE!!

The movie is starring Kristen Stewart as Bella, and Robert Pattinson as Edward....At first i wasn't sure if Robert was the one for the part, but as production of the movie went on, i cannot think of anyone better to play Edward! =)

Here's a preview for Twilight:

28 Things Most Girls Don’t Know

2008-09-21T12:38:00.002+08:00

I heard a guy wrote this, so it should be true....i dunno....plenty of guys read my blog....so boys, is it true? care to confirm? I suppose it varies for different guys, but in general, is it accurate? come on, don't keep us girls in the dark!
--Guys hate sluts even though they sleep with them!
--Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
--Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
--Guys will do anything just to get you to notice him
--Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend or ex love-interest.
--Boyfriends need to be reassured often that they're still loved.
--Don't talk about your guy friends to your boyfriend.
--Guys get jealous easily.
--Guys are more emotional than they'd like people to think.
--Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what? ...Uh...never mind..." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
--Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
--A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
--Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.
--Guys think WAY too much. One small thing a girl does, even if she doesn't notice it can make the guy think about it for hours, trying to figure out what it meant.
--Guys seek advice from girls not other guys. Because most guys think alike, so if one guy's confused, then they're all confused.
--When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me."
--If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
--If your best guy friend seems to avoid you or is never around when you're with your boyfriend, he's probably jealous and likes you.
--When a guy tells you that you are beautiful, don't say you aren't. It makes them want to stop telling you because they don't want you to disagree with them.
--When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
--Guys don't like girls who punch harder than they do.
--A guy has more problems than you can see with your naked eyes.
--Don't be a snob. Guys can be intimidated and give up easily.
--Guys talk about girls more than girls talk about guys.
--Guys hate rejection, but they hate being led on even more.
--If you are going to reject a guy, just do it. Don't say they are like a brother or just good friends, it just hurts even more. Tell them that you aren't interested in a relationship and they will respect you.
--Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them.
--When a guy sacrifices his sleep and health just to be with you, he really likes you and wants to be with you as much as possible.

Letter from the devil

2008-09-19T09:17:00.003+08:00

I just received a very interseting e-mail from a friend...and I thought I would share it with everyone: [cause there are some people i know but i don't have their e-mail addresses..]
I think if Satan were to really say all that, the world would change quite a bit.

DARK LETTER
PAY ATTENTION TO THE P.S. AT THE END.
Letter from the Devil. This can really make you think. It actually made me really mad while I was reading it, but it made me realize some things. Plus, the P.S.at the end made me post it. This is deep... and I wasn't going to forward or share it, but that last line... you'll see.

A LETTER TO YOU FROM SATAN
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without kneeling to pray.
As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living.
Fool, you are mine.
Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you
But you have yielded your life to me, and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way, we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you, I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life with all of the good times we've had.
We have been...
watching dirty movies,
cursing people out,
stealing,
lying,
being hypocritical,
fornicating,
overeating,
telling dirty jokes,
gossiping,
being judgmental,
back stabbing people,
disrespecting adults, and those in leadership positions,
no respect for the Church,
bad attitudes.
SURELY you don't want to give all this up. Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you.
I'd like to say 'THANKS' for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in
HA HA HA, you make me sick.
Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, and now, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.
All you have to do is smoke, get drunk or drink while under-aged, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and live being as selfish as possible.
Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that.
Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, and live for God with what little bit of life that you have left.
It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR CHRIST.

P.S. If you love me, you won't share this

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD.

Child Abuse

2008-09-16T10:11:00.004+08:00

My name is Chris

I am three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can't do a wrong

I can't speak at all

Or else I‘m locked up

All day long.

When I’m awake

I’m all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home

When my mommy does come home

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I’ll just get

One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie's bar.

I hear him curse

My name is called

I press myself

Against the wall

I try to hide

From his evil eyes

I'm so afraid now

I'm starting to cry

He finds me weeping

Calls me ugly words,

He says its my fault

He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And run to the door

He's already locked it

And i start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken,

"I'm sorry!” I scream

But its now much to late

His face has been twisted

Into a unimaginable shape

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

O please God, have mercy!

O please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door

While i lay there motionless

Brawled on the floor

My name is Chris

I am three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me

And you can help

If this sickens you to the soul,

And if you read this

and don't pass it on

I pray for your forgiveness

Because you would have to be

One heartless person

To not be effected

By this Poem

And if you are effected,

Do something about it!

So all I ask you to do

Is pass this on!

If you’re against child Abuse

happy mooncake festival!

2008-09-14T15:12:00.008+08:00

Happy mooncake festival everyone!! Don't forget to look at the moon tonight....hopefully it won't be too cloudy.... =P
We had an early mooncake festival celebration on Friday...it was a blast! I really enjoyed myself.....Audrey and wes came and picked me up at around 4:30 and we went back to wes' house to cook dinner while Audrey went to drop off her sister.......here it is!

yummy! ^^

lol...the 3 of us ate and ate and ate...

until everything was finished! well, almost everything....

these vegetables were so bitter none of us wanted to eat them....that Audrey la….she’s the one who bought them, so me and wes tried to force her to finish them….but in the end we threw them out….Then it was time to wash the dishes……Audrey hosted her cooking show “Part II – cooking the sauce for the pig meat (pork?)”

After dinner, we walked down to morsjaya because it was so HOT and we were in the mood for ice cream….so we bought a whole tub and the 3 of us finished that too! [my gosh, we were such PIGS that night…]

Then it was lantern time! ^^ Agnes showed up at around 7 and she brought her niece Shino...super cute baby!! See?

And Audrey took out her super HUGE lantern and we walked down the street….haha...wes was so embarrassed, while Audrey called out and waved at every car that passed us…. I found the idea so funny, I couldn’t stop laughing!

After that we went back to wes’ house and watched a movie till almost 9…and since it was getting late [please note the sarcasm], me and Audrey decided it was time to go home…

Psychology Personality Quiz

2008-09-12T13:13:00.004+08:00

Rule: Pick Only One. Don’t cheat! .

BLACK/WHITE

COFFEE/SOFTDRINKS

MOON/STARS

TV/RADIO

SUGAR/SPICE

DOGS/CATS

NINJA/PIRATE

Next: Bare in mind your answers as you scroll down for interpretations.

(My results: WHITE, COFFEE, STARS, TV, SUGAR, DAGS, PIRATE

Results:
_________________________________________

BLACK- You love the crowd... a party animal! Too many “friends”, you can’t easily tell which among them is real and not...
WHITE- Mysterious... oftentimes, a loner. You know your true friends and only them are allowed to understand the real you.
_________________________________________

COFFEE- You hide your emotions... Sometimes pretending to be always happy. Sometimes, not giving even a hint of what you really feel.
SOFTDRINKS- You’re usually expressive... Open about your emotions and most of the time willing to talk about it.
_________________________________________

MOON- You love deeply... you may flirt along and people think you’re a playboy/playgirl but the truth is: your heart belongs to only one.
STARS- You search for love... you’re a hopeless romantic and every time you enter a relationship, you give your all and believe “this is the One.” _________________________________________

TV- You have so many ideas in mind... You’re creative and aggressive! If you want something, you’ll do anything to get it!
RADIO- You appreciate simple things in life... You hate complicating things that’s why you’re typically up-front in any aspect.
_________________________________________

SUGAR- You’re an ideal boyfriend/girlfriend... You don’t care if your partner doesn’t really love you as long as you love him/her. You give your all...
SPICE- You’re a stubborn sweetheart... You “love” him/her only because he/she loves you. If his/her flame puts out, you let go with no trouble. _________________________________________

DOGS- You’re undoubtedly good-natured! Most of the time, people are confident to approach you because they know you will consider them.
CATS- You’re intimidating! People have an impression that you’re elite—or if not, you simply look sophisticated. You gain praises but not companions. _________________________________________

NINJA- You love actions... with the hero-like taste! You focus on your strengths and use them to protect persons/things that are important to you.
PIRATE- You’re independent! You’re also risky just like the pirates who sail in the vast and dangerous ocean to look for treasures

thank God...

Audrey's birthday

2008-09-06T09:30:00.000+08:00

Oh, Audrey....you're the BEST! It was her birthday on the 4th and she treated us....She took us out for lunch yesterday...Pizza!! ^^
Thank you, Miss May! for letting us out from Bio early...Audrey bought you a pizza later on to show how much she appreciated it!!

So after we got out from Bio class (Jinky and his buddies were no where to be found), we headed out for Parkson....no, wait, Bintang Plaza.

Wow....Audrey's driving skills are just amazing! I bet she got an A++ on her driving test..... =P

Once we got to pizza hut we ordered and waited for out food...it didn't take long. [Side note on Pizza hut: the service is really good!] while we were waiting for the pizza to arrive, we took pictures and joked around and wondered whether we should call Jinky..we had tried calling him earlier but no one answered..

In the end, we called and he picked up. He said he'd come over so we waited.....and waited.....and waited.......and waited.....and in the end we just could not wait any longer, so we started without them. =P[thanks to wes for the pics]

By the time they finally arrived, we had almost finished. Turns out they were all SLEEPING at tony's house.... =.="
so we ordered them a pizza and since we were already finished, we left to go, as wesley said, 'window shopping'.. but in my opinion, it wasn't much shopping, since we only walked a few shops away from pizza hut and u-turned back because the pizza we ordered for the boys was a take-away.....*frustrated sigh*
since amanda had to be back at school at 1:15, we left as soon as we picked up miss may's pizza...driving back to school was even more exhilirating than driving to parkson...no, wait, Bintang Plaza. All that screaming and shouting and laughing! And marcus was making me even more nervous with all his blubberings..
I think we burned off all our pizza with our high metablic rate from all the adrenaline pumping through our system... To all you people out there: if you think you're fat and need to lose some weight, just go take a drive in Audrey's car - you'll spend so much energy shouting that your guaranteed to burn off all the calories from your last meal! =P
But honestly la, her driving wasn't that bad....she just doesn't look out for other cars coming her way....and wes was keeping her under 60km/h...so it wasn't too fast...
I've been in friends's cars A LOT scarier than that...Yew hui, for one.... The speed measuring thingy in her car is broken, so i don't know how fast she drives.....but it is FAST....and she doesn't stop scolding other drivers.. i think it's because when you scold someone, some of your stress is released, so you don't feel so anxious.....and i don't mind her scolding - it keeps me laughing and distracts me from her driving.. =P But i still trust her driving...it may be fast but i trust her, she's a responsible driver, and i don't feel like i'm in danger...kinda like when i'm in yee fatt's car...i trust him, too.....he drives reasonably well, and i don't feel like he's about to crash the car...
Ohh... i MISS you two! Don't ever forget me, k?

One of the Elders in our church was recently diagnosed with cancer – Elder Jong, who is just 49, was diagnosed at the end of July with advanced stages of cancer in the lungs, brain and bone...
He began treatment immediately after he was diagnosed, flying to Kuching and KL and back numerous times. He went for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Every week, our church prayed for him, prayed for his recovery, prayed for his physical and mental strength.
Earlier today, he was admitted to hospital because of breathing difficulties and at around 1pm, Elder Jong left us to return home to Our Father. He left behind a family of four – a loving wife, and three beautiful children. I didn’t spend much time with him or his or his wife, so I don’t know them very well, but I'm rather close with his children, who go to Youth every week. Grace, the eldest, is in Form 5 this year; Joshua, the middle child is in Form 3; and Daniel, the youngest is in Form 1.
I cannot imagine the anguish they’re going through, their father was taken away from them so suddenly. I have never experienced anything as terrible as this so all I can do offer is my sympathy and condolences…and pray for their recovery…
I guess once He makes His decision of whom He wants to take, there’s no stopping Him. Every decision he makes has a reason. I like to think that once His servant has done all he can do on earth, He brings them home, where they can rest and be rewarded for all they have done for Him during their brief time among us. I’m sure Elder Yong’s achievements were of no small amount.
Elder Jong was a veterinarian, his wife is a kindergarten teacher, all three kids are straight-A students…and their whole family is God-devoted and God-loving. Grace, Joshua and Daniel grew up with the bible attached firmly to their hands, and no one can beat them in bible knowledge quizzes and games.
Mummy and I used to joke that their family is a perfect family….After this tragedy, I sincerely hope that they can pick themselves up and once again find happiness. They are in my prayers constantly, and I hope they are in yours as well.

i messed up.....real bad.....

2008-09-02T16:06:00.003+08:00

oh my gosh...i don't know what happened to me in chemistry today....i totally blanked out...
we were doing this experiment where we heat a metal sulphate in a test tube to remove the water. We did a similar experiment last week and everything went smoothly, but for some reason, and i have no idea why, this week i could not stop screwing it up..
First I overheated the test tube and dr lee warned me about it and came over to help me out and suddenly, CRACK! the test tube broke! it was scary...dr lee wouldn't stop "watching" me or i suppose you could say "keeping an eye out for me", so i just concentrated on what i was doing....test tube tilted, but not too much...don't let it overheat.....
Then later on while i was heating it a second time, audrey was being funny and joking with dr lee and i looked behind to have a quick laugh and suddenly audrey looked at my test tube and i looked at it, and so did dr lee.........it was on fire! (not the test tube, the clamp - which is made of wood) I quickly blew out the flame and acted like "what? fire? me? nah....didn't see anything...did you?" while the whole time I was thinking "what the hell is WRONG with me today?!"
And not to mention the exercise we were discussing later on...I was just like,
Argh....can't wait till the holidays....i need a break..

Woohoo.. I had loads of fun saturday night.. ^^

Our Youth group had a recycling competition where each cell group has to design the national flag out of recycled materials..
At first I was really worried about my group because I was the only person who brought materials, and I suppose it’s partly my fault because I’m the group leader and I dind’t remind my members to bring stuff for the flag…so our resources were limited…
But everything turned out okay in the end..we pulled through and we won!! So happy! =D
This is our flag:

Intro: we used newspaper as a base. After drawing a rough sketch of the moon, star and stripes, we cut strips of white paper (used on one side) and stuck them down. The star and moon were cut from yellow tracing paper and stuck down on a page of a magazine with a blue background. The red stripes were the best part. We laid down double-sided tape and stuck ‘xiang si dou’ seeds on the tape…the effect was really nice!

And these are the flags of other groups…

This group basically just used paper and paint….it didn’t turn out so good…if you notice, the points of the star are curling up…. they ended up rushing and putting it all together in the last 15 minutes…. No one knows what they were doing before that… =P

This group used egg trays and painted them red…..but unfortunately, as you can see from the bottom stripe , they ran out of time too….

This group came in second. They used newspaper as a base too… I thought theirs was really nice… they used plastic bags and pink straws for the colour, and the points of the star was made from painted toothpicks... creative! ;) a pity there aren’t any red plastic bags available, though…

rrss graduation '08

2008-08-30T12:06:00.005+08:00

Yay! ^^ The graduation yesterday was great! I really enjoyed myself… I’m glad I decided to go, eventhough it was kinda sad watching all my classmates graduating while I sat there in the audience…but it’s okay…at least I was able to go..that’s good enough.. =)
And guess who I saw there……Dr Lee!
She was the LAST person I wanted to see there, but, as luck would have it, I bumped into her TWICE. I suppose it makes perfect sense that she would go, since Kar Lynn is graduating, but STILL….TWICE?! I couldn’t just ignore her so I greeted her and she greeted me back and the whole time I was praying she wouldn’t say something like “Haha! I caught you!” or “Aren’t you supposed to be in class?” Luckily, she didn’t seem angry…she was just her usual, happy, pleasant self.. =) phew!
Not only was the afternoon’s event a graduation, it was also a ‘prize giving ceremony’ of excellence awards..there was a staggering number of recipients – 247! And they all went up one by one by one. It took forever! And it was so cold! I sat there shivering the whole time….
FINALLY, the ‘excellent students’ were done and it was time for the graduates of 2008…
Then the whole ceremony was over and it was picture taking time! Here are just some of the pics I took; for the rest, head over here:

http://www.friendster.com/viewphotos.php?a=251784304

Lol….i got so bored and so cold that I just HAD to move around, so I snuck over to where the graduates were sitting and took quick snaps with a few of them…. =P

F5A 2008

haha...can you find me? I'm the only one not in a graduation gown...

And the best part of it is, daddy didn’t come home until after me, so he has no idea I disappeared for a whole afternoon! =P

lol....i really have nothing to say...but since wesley has been nagging me non-stop to "just post something la...nothing to say just simply say anything"....aiya! i just post anything la...

haha.....sorry to everyone else, this is just a random post, cause i really can't think of anything to say..and since these pictures just happened to be on my pendrive....well, i think you can guess the rest...

nah, wesley! happy liao ma? satisfied?!

P.S. Wesley said 'yes'

no longer suffering from indecision

2008-08-27T21:53:00.000+08:00

I have made my choice. I am going to the graduation. My friends have been asking and asking if i'm going or not, and i finally decided. It's not like i'm going to miss much in physics....the teacher is SO slow, he makes a snail look like a speed racer.
Thank God daddy doesn't read my blog. If he did i think i would die.
Not literally, of course....Daddy doesn't scold me or anything....it's more of a psychological attack....he says how disappointed he is, and i can tell how angry he is by the tone of his voice and it just KILLS me inside, and makes me feel guilty as hell...and...and...okay, i'm not going to think about it. I'm going to just GO, take pictures, enjoy myself...and pray he doesn't find out. It's not that i want to do stuff behind his back, it's just that I'm afraid that if i ask him he'll say no, and i'd be disobeying him if i went, so i'd rather not let him know......is it still so wrong?

poor Jinky...

2008-08-26T15:16:00.002+08:00

Aiyo.....i really kasihan Jinky today......poor Jinly......haha...
all day been bullied by michelle.... =P "w....w.....w.....w.....wesley!"
hehehe..it's really funny the way they tease him.....it's like no matter what Jinky says, they always have a comeback...hehe..some of them are really funny.... =P
but then again, i feel sorry for Jinky...i suppose he doesn't mind..everything seems to just bounce right back off him, so there's no harm done...

argh...RRSS graduation's coming up...it's this friday...and i really really want to go....not to graduate, but just to watch my 'ex-classmates' [i really don't like calling them that] graduate... Originally it was set for saturday and i was so happy, cause i thought i could go...maybe go with yee fatt....but THEN it turns out it's on a FRIDAY and the only way i can go is if i miss physics....
if it were just up to me, it would miss the class without hesistation......BUT.......what if daddy found out? *gulp*

gald it's over...

2008-08-25T13:14:00.004+08:00

I am sooo glad next door's holiday is finally over..walking past that "ghost school" every day was very uncomfortable.. Not only that, sometimes during the week the school gate was locked, so I had to walk ONE BIG ROUND to use the RIT gate to get to class.. =___="
Sometimes i forgot, and didn't realise it was locked until i had walked all the way over to the RRSS side, and I seriously could NOT be bothered to go all the way round, so I just climbed over the fence in front of the canteen.....heheh...I hope no one saw me...what would they think? =P
Okay. enough talk of me climbing school property......
I watched the Closing Ceremony last night....it wasn't as impressive as the Opening Ceremony..(which is kinda obvious, I guess..) I kinda liked the tower thing with all the people...that was really cool... =)
And i LOVED the London performance! I know a lot of people didn't think it was impressive (i heard a lot of critisism this morning), but I liked it because it really showed LONDON, if you know what i mean... It's always raining in London, so you'd be crazy to go out without your umbrella, and there are newspapers everwhere so all you see on the underground are people reading the day's paper...Beckham was a bit boring, i admit..all he did was kick a football.....ooh! and i LOVED the double decker! London trademark! I can't wait till 2012!

Robert, the Evil Doll

2008-08-23T11:08:00.001+08:00

In 1900, Robert Eugene Otto was born in Key West, Florida, USA. Gene, as he came to be called, was the youngest of the family’s three boys.
The Ottos were a well-to-do family. But, unfortunately, money did not make them kind. By many accounts, they were often cruel to their servants. One of the servants who was very badly treated was a young girl. Apparently, she knew a few things about voodoo. To get even, she made a special doll for young Gene. Some say that she sewed a curse in it.
Gene gave the doll his own first name, Robert, and took it everywhere with him. Robert was about 90 cm tall and made of straw. Reportedly, the doll had been made to look just like the boy. It even wore clothes like Gene’s.
It soon became clear that Robert was not an ordinary doll. Mr and Mrs Otto sometimes heard Gene talking to Robert. Of course it’s not unusual for a child to talk to a toy. But someone – or something – always answered in a completely different voice. Who was talking? Was it Gene or was it Robert?
Strange things began to happen in the Otto house. Pictures fell off the walls and broke. Doors locked themselves. But no matter what happened, Gene always said ‘Robert did it.’
Perhaps Gene was right. Other people claimed to have heard the doll giggle. Others said they had seen it running up the stairs. People walking by the house sometimes saw the doll watching them from the turret-room window!
Gene was a talented artist. He grew up and went away to school . For several years he lived in Europe, where he studied and painted. It was in Paris that he met his wife, Anne.
The Gene’s parents died and he inherited the house. When Gene and Anne moved in, the young husband found Robert in the attic. Gene’s fixation on the evil doll began all over again.
Anne hated Robert – and she especially hated her husband’s fascination with the doll. Finally, to make Anne happy, Gene put Robert in the tower room. Still, Anne claimed that she could hear someone laughing and running around in that room. But when she went upstairs to see what it was, she found only Robert.
Gene and Anne died in the 1970s. Robert was taken to the Key West Martello Museum, where he’s on display today. But beware! Visitors report that their cameras malfunction when they try to photograph Robert.
Some also report hearing someone – or something – tapping on the glass of Robert’s display case. When they turn to look, they see the doll’s hand on the glass. Is Robert still scaring people?
