The Stand

Q&A

2011-06-02T21:24:00.003+08:00

The world paints pictures and tells us words of such:

"Happy are you who are rich.

Happy are you who laugh.

Happy are you who are proud and confident.

Happy are you who do not hunger or thirst!"

But the words of Jesus are of the exact opposite, taken from the Sermon of the Mount:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled..."

We need to ask some serious questions here.. What can it mean?

What does it mean?

Tell me the answer!

(Be prepared for a long one, too)

//In Greek, the term blessed is much like today's happiness.//

Coming back from Elevate10 Camp, it's SO GOOD to know that many of the youths are reawakening to the state of relationship they are in with God. I really thank God for this year's camp cos it's just... different. There were many understandings that were redefined.

Camp was not about hype anymore. Ahh! So thankful to God that this year's message was authentic, real and brutally honest. Life in Christ is more than good music, fun, good friends - though those are not entirely excluded. But they are definitely not the main focus of life in Christ.

But here is what life in Christ is: Apostle Paul puts it plainly in Phillipians, for him "to live is Christ and to die is gain". I cannot say that I fully understand these deep words yet, but I'm getting there (hopefully by His grace!), because I do not want to miss out on the life of the eternity.

James 4:14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

Life is like vapor. No... life is equivalent to vapor! I think this session spoke most to me. How short life really is. What am I doing with this life? And what is life really about?

Am I striving to please men and seek their approval in order to get my way to the top, and be somehow, successful in the world's eyes? Or am I willing to be living according to the upside down rules of God and not of the world to please Him, and be significant in the eyes of my Father?

The Bible says in Matthew 5; blessed are the poor in spirit, blessed are those who mourn, blessed are the meek, blessed are the pure in heart, blessed are the peacemakers. But as long as we live in this world (which belongs to the ruler of the air), the poor in spirit will be scorned, those who mourn will be ridiculed, those who are meek will be crushed, the pure in heart will be taken advantage of, and the peacemakers will be casualties.

Am I willing to really lay everything aside to walk on the narrow path? Am I willing to die to myself to follow Christ?

I have so much to think about now, Lord. Everyone has to come to point of decision..

I stand in awe of Your grace that You have revealed Your kindness to me when I do not deserve it in the least.

Matthew 7:13-27

Matthew 7:13-27

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophecy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never know you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

*****

I thought I understood this passage years ago. How wrong and blind can I possibly be??!!

I have just come to understand each and every word that Jesus had meant here; I'm just like those crowd of people, honestly amazed at His teaching. Jesus had been brutally honest about what He said from the start. And everything connects... Everything (above) connects.

I'm in awe of God's truth.

Tis' my 120th post

2010-11-15T15:17:00.005+08:00

Someone said,

"Life is much like driving a car. While you look forward to drive, you must also look at your rearview mirror once in a while. As much as you're moving forward, don't forget to look backward and reflect."

Wise, hor? It didn't come from me lah. It's from Kau Sern, from church. (Doubt he's reading this though)

For me, I'm learning that the journey is more important than the destination; and transformation is more important than transportation.

Instead of saying, Jesus take me higher, take me further; Jesus, take me back to the basics and roots that I may be firmly rooted in You. That my understanding of You will not be of what I make You up to be, but of who You truly are.

Paper Dreams

tired of lugging his shell, every fibre in schnell’s shapeless form craved adventure. adventure, by his definition, was to fly gracefully through the air.

“blasted cockroaches”, he grumbled.“foulest creatures ever, yet they get to fly!”, he continued—slithering over a piece of paper.

then it hit him.

“a piece of paper!”, he exclaimed.

“…if folded right, will fly!”, he exclaimed again.

3 days later, the craft was complete.

“tough work, this”, he moaned; looking over his paper cut-riddled body.

“perhaps rubbing some salt will ease the pain.”

and that was the last we heard from schnell the snail.

How can it be,
That You were the one on the cross, lifted for all our shame?
How can it be,
The scars on Your hands are for me?

Hillsong United, More Than Life.

BUT God,
who is rich in mercy,
because of His great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ,
and raised us up together,
and made us sit together in the heavenly places
in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come
He might show
the exceeding riches of His grace
in His kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.

I realized how silly I was this past week;

1. While watching the TV, there was a big fat fly around the living room. We got slightly frustrated so I decided to hunt it down.

With the electrical mosquito swat (I'm sure you've seen those before, the made-in-China ones; if not, can go pasar malam and you'll find plenty there!), I thought I did a pretty good job at killing the big fat fly. There were about 3 electric shocks given to kill the fly. I picked up the fly and threw it into the rubbish bin.

Minutes later, another big fat fly was in our living room.

But... it wasn't another fly. It was the same fly that I didn't properly kill!! I checked the rubbish bin and confirmed there was no fly inside. It was the return of the flying fly. =.=

2. I think I watched too much of Commonwealth. Especially the aquatics events. Decided to go for a swim yesterday afternoon after class. Followed my dad to Rahman Putra. But the swimming pool was closed on Mondays and I didn't know... Was stuck there for 2 hrs. =/

3. This one is Chian Hui's sillyness. Hahaha, getting the phonecall from her, she said she mistaken Aileen and Li Yen for being the same person! She made me laugh.

Please feel free to share your sillyness with me. It'll make me feel a little less silly!

Usian Bolt could have joined the Commonwealth Games

2010-10-06T22:58:00.006+08:00

This year's Commonwealth Games is pretty under the radar, no?

Currently, Malaysia has bagged 3 gold medals. Namely by Amirul Hamizan Ibrahim (56kg Weightlifting), Acricco Jumitih (62kg Weightlifting), and Josiah Ng (Men's Keiren - a cycling event).

I didn't watch the weightlifting prize-giving ceremony but I watched the prize-giving ceremony for Men's Keiren.

When Josiah's name was announced, this man leaped off of the ground to the podium. One could tell how sincerely happy and proud he was. Next up, the national anthem. My heart went oh-oh, how is it going to be ar? (Sorry, I've never heard our national anthem being played after ceremonies like this before. Never. And to see our national flag being raised(slightly higher), in between two countries...)

Josiah Ng sang the national anthem and I almost wanted to stand in front of the television. Next, he did the unthinkable (well it was to me), he shed tears. By this point, I felt my vision sorta blurring away.

I admired him for his love towards Malaysia. God, let there be more people who love the country like he does! I want to love this country more as well, inspite of its weaknesses. Inspite of its people's weaknesses.

Oh! My blog title has little connection to the blog post. Lol.

Things;

2010-09-29T12:00:00.004+08:00

1. 127 Hours

Based on the real-life story of Aron Ralston. If you check out Aron's page on Wikipedia, you'll find out what his story is about.

To summarise, guy goes mountain hiking without letting anyone know, guy gets stuck in his hike in a very deep part of the mountain with a big rock crushing one of his hands, guy cuts off hand with dull knife to escape. There, 40 words.

Side note: The amputation scene in the movie was so real and intense that it made several spectators faint in the premiere at Toronto International Film Festival. 0.0

Plus points: Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) as director and James Franco as Ralston. READ: James Franco!!

2. Am going to snip every page covering the Galas by-election out of the Star newspaper, starting from today, yes

Surprisingly, it's actually kind of interesting to observe politics when you get the whole idea behind it (courtesy of Malaysian Studies). My dad also pop-quizzed me about Galas this morning while I analysed the newspaper cutting. BTW Galas is the state level seat while its parliament level seat is Gua Musang. (Not so interesting a fact when you don't understand the whole big picture)

3. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual (reasonable) act of worship.
-Romans 12:1

Dead sacrifices in the Old Testament. Living sacrifices in the New Testament.

Living sacrifices; to die to self (this not physically but spiritually), to be selfless, to act in His obedience.

To quote Pr Chris Kam on his pulpit message: "What is the hardest thing to do? To die to self."

4. Not forgetting, assignmentspresentationeditingtopicaltesttwofinalexaminationsin2weekstime. Yup, that's how crowded my brain is now. It's as if I only have 127 hours left!

Sweet dreams (cover)

2010-09-26T19:45:00.002+08:00

I admire people who can cover songs in their own interpretation well. Here is a Pocahantas-lookalike and -soundalike singing "Sweet Dreams".

Hauntingly beautiful. It might be a bit sloppy and sleepy for some people, but it kept me awake (while I was working on my assignment). Haha.

2010-09-06T22:19:00.002+08:00

If there's anybody out there who is reading this at all, sorry for the lack of updates. It's not that I have nothing to update, in fact I have a lot of things going on in my head. Err, maybe not a whole lot lah, but I've got a few..! But I'm losing the interest to blog. Hah, at least not interested now. I'm pretty fickle minded right. Sorry =/ My cup is dried up. My blog is getting dusty. My eyes are closing. My assignments are coming. My assignments' deadline are coming. My assignments' deadline are coming fast. So yes, bear with me. Or you don't have to. Haha. Me just taking personal responsibility here and putting up a notice that this blog will be off to nap for the mean time.

Will still be reading your blogs (if you blog, that is). Don't be lazy like me!

I like

Because it's honest and true.

To grow

2010-08-15T17:29:00.004+08:00

Just when I think I know oh-so-much, God who is oh-so-mighty-and-faithful reminds me that I have nothing good in me. Selfish, invisible pride has been there all along, and I'm blinded by its proud flash of smile. I need to put on that dull, plain mantle of humility, and to be willing to be fully dependent on God, not my own strength. Thank you God for saving me.

And the above quotation slash picture (from Google) took the words out of my mouth on how I want to grow in my thinking and questioning. Whether it is with God's Word, or with people, or with knowledge.

I only have the breadth of the subject. Not the depth.

Again I say, thank you God.

Don't forget your homework

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in action. As a young kid! Aww.

Inception (2010)

2010-07-16T20:25:00.004+08:00

This movie is not advertised much around here. But its impressive cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Joseph Godon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy), and the good review that The Star gave (5 stars) persuaded me to go watch it.

Tagged Joanna with me and oh boy, were we glad we went for it!

No robots, no vampires, no werewolves, no aliens, no toys, no comic book characters, no 3D.

The movie explores the human's subconscious mind through its theme revolving around dreams. Sounds like a movie that will put people into deep sleep (and dream), but it wasn't. Violence is involved, but it is highly intellectual. People who like to think (while watching movies) should go and watch this.

Not gonna spill too much beans on this one. The lesser you know about this movie, the better. I haven't watch a good Hollywood movie in a long while. Inception was a good fix.

This movie left my friend thinking about the power of the mind. And how God has given us fantastic minds... it all comes down to how we use it.

Every actor gave their convincingly powerful performances which only solidified the film's turnout.

I give it a 8.5/10.

PS: Joseph Gordon-Levitt of 500 Days of Summer looked so sharp in the movie!

:D

A Walk to Remember

2010-06-22T22:33:00.000+08:00

I had a walk in the park this evening. Normally (I say normally cos sometimes there are strangers that you don't expect) it's the same faces in the park. There's always this group of boys playing basketball. They're tall, and very white. Very fair one. They speak in high-pitched Cantonese. (Haven't got the chance to see them score though). Then there's always a group of Indian boys, who I assume are primary school students.

The last encounter I had with a particular young Indian boy was last week, where he was riding his bike and he almost banged me. I smiled, "It's ok!"

So it's a new week this week, and this time around, he didn't cycle. He was walking, like me. But towards the opposite direction. But being a semi-circle path, we're bound to meet anyway.

And we did. I was quicker (for obvious reasons, hint: leg), and he quickly commented when we crossed paths, "Why you so fast?"

How innocent. I laughed, and I kept walking.

This time, he got smarter, he swiftly followed me instead of going the opposite direction. Then he pointed at one of his friend who was riding a bicycle, "He's a Christian, I'm a Christian too."

Not many people start off their conversation that way. In my heart, I went WOAH. I replied, "I'm a Christian too. What's your name?"

"Kivannesh." (I may have spelled wrongly but that's how it rhymed).

Then he picked up his speed and he ran.

And there I was, thinking about this kiddo. Walao, being a Christian is more important than his name when it came to introduction. He's setting some example for me.

A few more rounds of walking, he needed some help plucking some leaves and veins from the tree. I helped him (for obvious reasons, hint: height). He kept calling me "sister, sister!" Haha so cute.

PS: My post title is such a genius! :D

PPS: This boy, probably 8, is an orphan. The Indian kids come from an orphanage near the park. His words put a smile on my face, and I can still recall his smile and excitement.

It is when I am feeling like the most ordinary person, that I realize how extraordinary He truly is.

Emoticons and emotions

2010-05-14T16:55:00.007+08:00

I don't know what threw me to the stressful edge.

:( :(

I need to chill. My friends are asking me to chill, too.

~~:( :(~~

:)

Now what does the Word say about worrying?

Luke 12:22-26, NIV

Then Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?’

That's a word of the season for me!

*I hope the title wasn't a redundant one. Haha.

Free hugs?

2010-05-06T18:23:00.003+08:00

I can't help thinking this picture is so cute!

And yes, I need a hug. Don't worry, I'm okay. Haha, everyone needs a hug once in a while, no?

Eat for the ecosystem

2010-04-28T22:01:00.004+08:00

I was reading The Economist (a free introductory copy) the other day and they told me to eat the lion fish.

This naughty fish is said to be a predator to most small fishes and they are capable of reducing the number of such small fishes up to 80%. And I don't think they meant ikan-bilis small fish...

They eat a lot, but they are not likely to be eaten (but they are consumed once-in-a-while by predators like groupers). That's due to the sharp spines that act as the lion fish's defense mechanism.

The only way for things to turn around is for people to eat it. I know it doesn't look very appetizing, but it supposedly tastes like the snapper. But then again, I'm not sure if this fish is served in Malaysia, heh.

There are 7 days in a week. But each day is NEW. Regardless of how bad yesterday had been, today is a whole new day.

Grace is all around me

2010-04-17T22:58:00.002+08:00

1 Timothy 1:12
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me faithful, appointing me to his service.

I don't have much to offer. I am weak. I am lowly in strength. But Someone has considered me faithful.. My emotions are imbalanced.

I can't believe God considers me faithful, even when I disappoint myself or had been too hard on myself.

I can never understand His grace, my thoughts are not His thoughts. I only know that He has given me grace over and over again.

Spiritual awakening

2010-03-04T17:21:00.009+08:00

1 John 4:8 (NIV)
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Yes, God is love. But He is not only love, He is holy.

Many people question if there's such a loving God, why are there present sufferings?

Charles Templeton, was an evangelist and a close friend of Billy Graham was a spiritual giant who was predicted to succeed Graham. But he failed to see God as a holy God. His faith fell through the rocks when he saw a photograph of a North African woman carrying her dead baby, looking up towards heaven, hoping for rain.

"Why couldn't this God of love send her rain? All she needed was rain!" Templeton questioned with frustration.

God is love, but don't put a full stop to it. He is holy, too.

He is holy too.

1 Peter 1:16 (NIV)

For it is written, "Be holy, because I am holy."

I'm still learning to grasp this spiritual truth, but I believe it with all my heart :)

Caught my eye

2010-02-11T23:23:00.004+08:00

from beautiful.tumblr.com

This is an unexpected post coming, even for me.

It was about 8pm. Not too sure, didn't check my watch. But it was definitely after 7.30pm. It's kinda dark.

Was going home after dinner with my mom and my sister, and we passed by my primary school.

Someone caught my eye. It's a school boy. A school boy caught my eye.

It's around 8pm. The boy must have waited for more than an hour for his dad to pick him up. And I see a taxi picking this boy up. The father, the taxi driver, must have been worried too. But his job needs him. He's probably able to make a few more ringgit while his son waited.

This Indian family (the father and son were both Indians) didn't lead easy lives, my mum assumes. But I thought they made a good choice of sending his son to Chinese school. Chinese language will come in handy for this little boy someday.

This boy waits for an hour to get home every weekday (I think). God just sent me a timely reminder. I am so blessed. I should start/continue counting my blessings. Life does not revolve around me(!). It causes me to think and care for others.

Observing people and things around can prove to be inspiring. That's how God refreshes me, sometime. :)

I like how she looks up to whatever she is looking at. Reminds me of looking up to the Hope i have.

Most of all, this picture reminds me to update my blog which has been abandoned for quite some time now..

When advertisements start making sense

2009-10-14T18:44:00.009+08:00

Mapo-tofu... so salivating right.

Taken from http://rasamalaysia.com/

I was browsing through some Internet applications and I saw an advertisement saying, "Soy proteins make you fat and increase your belly fat"!

Before you read any further, you should know that I love soy products. Tofu is an addiction, unfortunately for me. =(

But I do love tofu lah, not forced to like it or something.

Mr. Mike Geary, a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist says that many people are deceived and misled into believing soy protein, soy milk, soybean oil, and processed soy foods are "healthy"... when the truth is that soy has many anti-nutrients and negative factors on the body that we should be concerned about - like increasing your stomach fat.

Ouch. Now I know why...

Romans 14:20
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.

Food for thought, literally!

The second traveler

2009-09-26T23:09:00.005+08:00

A traveler nearing a great city asked an old man seated by the road, "What are the people like in this city?"

"What were they like where you came from?" the man asked.

"Horrible," the traveler reported. "Mean, untrustworthy, detestable in all respects."

"Ah," said the old man, "you will find them the same in the city ahead."

Scarcely had the first traveler gone on his way when another stopped to inquire about the people in this city before him. Again the old man asked about the people in the place the traveler had just left.

"They were fine people: honest, industrious, and generous to a fault," declared the second traveler. "I was sorry to leave."

The old man responded, "That's exactly how you'll find the people here."

Two friends wearing black tops and drinking their teh tarik until the same volume is left in their cups is not a coincidence. Took a photo to commemorate the event lol.

Chia Yee told me not to tag her on Facebook.

And I didn't. Hahahaha.

... Now back to my books.

Pray Until Something Happens (P.U.S.H.)

2009-07-31T10:51:00.006+08:00

Dear God, help me to:

♥ Live and move and have my being in You.
♥ Not waste time as I prepare for my finals.
♥ Be wise and alert.

In Jesus' name,
Amen.

She stood on the first row

2009-07-28T10:32:00.005+08:00

I gotta feeling

That tonight's gonna be a good night

Wei Wei was like, "So fast its LOUD! 09? LOUD! 08 just passed only wey." XD

A church stripped off its many perception that churches are boring. We are created by a creative God - He made the earth and everything in it - so its only right if we as His people are creative too! There's nothing wrong with Christians having fun. Good fun.

I stood on the first row and sang along to What About Now and Say. I totally lost myself there lol. The Viva La Vida finale (psst Aisha!) was incredible as the whole crowd of close to 2000 sang to the chorus of "Wooooooohhh..."

Most importantly, with the message in closing, many made the decisions to believe in the One love that is perfect. In the life of a good shepherd who laid down his life for his sheeps.

It was not just a good night on the 26th July. It was a great night. It was a celebration of living out our destinies. And that's why they say, you've got ONE LIFE, live it to the fullest!

LOUD! 2010 is coming to Dream Centre near you. ;P

She says teehee

2009-07-20T16:08:00.004+08:00

Teehee.

I tried to find Chia Yee's chatbox in her blog but I didn't see anything. I think my comp's lagging lol. But anyway I just want to tell her, "Chia Yee! I'm so sorry for causing you to cross your curfew hour. 1.30am is very ~~early~~ i mean late (depending on how you count haha). I'm glad you enjoyed the show!"

Teehee again.

Oh no I do not hook up, up

So if you want me I don't come cheap
Keep your head on my hand, your heart on your sleeve
Oh no I do not hook up, up

I was humbled and shocked (in a good way) when Joo Li wrote on her blog "Don't know why, I can always feel the sincere whenever I see you". That's so sweet lar! ;) Anyway, don't worry too much about your skin okay? I will pray for you! Hahah. Sorry for cramping-all-the-words-together, I know the font is really really small, to whoever's reading and getting a headache out of this :p

Is Volvo really a safe car?

2009-05-20T15:58:00.014+08:00

I had the opportunity to test out if Volvo was really a safe vehicle.

In a bumper-to-bumper accident.

Yesh, I got involved in a accident. My safe driver image (sorry Chian Hui, sorry Joanna!) is brushed off for good. But I promise to work my hardest to get that title back!

I kept my lane. But a red Wira which stayed on a lane leading to the flyover last minute-ly changed lanes (to pump petrol, of all things lol) and thud!, this post was born.

By the way, Volvo is officially safe. More than safe. The safest safe. Amat safe sekali.

Only the signal glass was smashed in an average triangular shape.

And good thing the man knew the situation well enough to let things off the hook.

The accident wasn't so bad, I would say. Going home was tougher. I had no idea what my parents were going to say. No idea. Clueless. Idealess. (Okay I'm done with synonyms hehe).

My mom was strict with me. "You drive too fast", "Please... slow down", "Drive with two hands, not one on the wheel, the other on your hair"... I treasure these words more now than before.

Oh no, what's my dad going to say?

He came into the living room all smiles when he heard the news.

"Are you mad?" I asked.

He said, "Why would I be mad?" and continued after pausing shortly, "Accidents happen. Take your lesson from it."

God is so good for letting these happen. Hallelujah!

Easter

2009-04-12T20:45:00.006+08:00

I stayed away from this blog for too long (having my finals). I'll make it up by posting something a little different.

A 33 year-old man was nailed to death on Good Friday.

The reason behind the nailing was very simple, people called him a liar. A very very big liar.

But the thing was, he didn't lie.

All he did was telling people about the greatest news ever, but people doubted him because they thought it was too good to be true. They decided they didn't want to hear all the nonsense anymore and called him a joke, sending him to be nailed to death.

This man who willingly laid down his life as a sacrifice for many was Jesus, and although he died, he rose again 3 days later. He certainly wasn't joking when he said that "I am the Son of God. I am the way, the truth, and the life."

Jesus is still alive till this day. The empty tomb is there to prove my Savior lives.

1 Corinthians 15:17
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

He died on the cross for the wrongdoings of every single person. I live to take up my cross.

The foursome in my family joined in late at 9.00.

We just sat in the living room with all lights off. Note, all lights of the living room off. Which meant the stairs light (not in the living room) was actually on. Hehe.

At first it was uncomfortable and we didn't know what to do, so it resulted to us staring at the digital clock on Astro decoder.

I took out my phone and played Corrine Bailey Rae. Girl put your records on, tell me your favorite song, just go ahead let your hair down.

Letting my hair down I did, since we didn't off the fan. We only off the lights right. :P

Coincidentally, the song from my phone was sang by dunno how many people on American Idol. And talking about American Idol, I'm supporting Matt Giraud - who btw did not deserve the bottom 2 spot last week lor...

Anyway.

My mom hearts Adam Lambert, the guy below.

She's not that tech-savvy, so when she said, "I want the background (of the shared home computer) playing an Adam Lambert song. Ke yi fang mah (Can fix anot)?"

@.@ Good thing there's no such thing.

My dad was quietly observing, while shaving manually. I asked him what he was doing (since I couldn't really see in the dark).

"Relaxing."

@.@ Well, it seemed funny at that second.

Can't really recall what my sister was doing. I only know she skipped her Pandu Puteri camp that night la.

When I was really young, I used to close my eyes and pretended that life never existed.

No exams, no schools, no people, no time, no world.

Again, I was really young. I think I was still in primary school.

I had a feeling that life was just an imagination.*

As I grow older right, those kind of thoughts disappeared. I was very occupied with life. I make more mistakes and learn new things. I worry and I have fun. I cry and I laugh. I change (physically) and I make new friends.

But what is life? Life wasn't about happy endings, or is it?

Many people are still looking for the answers to these questions.

I believe in Jesus. He saved my life. He pulled me out of the darkness (you know how people are naturally afraid of the dark? I think it's built in) - and I'm ever grateful because life now had meaning. I have this want to tell other people too.

What really matters in your life?

* Don't worry, I didn't have depressing thoughts when I was young. I was innocent lah lol.

I seriously appreciate those who had prayed for my family! I know that God will take us through this because just one day before my sister was admitted in, Gos told me in Job Chapter 1, "Do you fear God for nothing?"

I am growing and knowing that I fear Him because of His real wonders!

Ever had a pain in the midst of somewhere you can't be excused?

2009-02-09T14:05:00.005+08:00

I just learned about the nonpainful nerve impulses and pain impulses a few days ago. Basically, these two impulses compete to reach our brains first and the winner takes control of our pain.

If nonpainful nerve impulses get there first, pain is dulled.

Vice versa.

But does that mean that testimonies of "God healing my tummy ache (and headache and dot dot dot) when I pray" are actually nothing at all?

With two well-known romantic comedy leading ladies - who are both very talented in their own ways - this movie passed by quickly without too much painful moments. I had a great time sweeping popcorns into my mouth watching the chick flick. Until my throat kind of got dry some more.

Before I walked in, I was more of a Anne Hathaway fan. But after watching it, I became more of Kate Hudson's lol. Not that Anne Hathaway didn't perform well or anything but Kate Hudson was absolutely lovable.

Liv (Hudson) is a Type A - strongheaded, impatient, miss No. 1 and I-must-be-perfect.
Emma (Hathaway) happens to be Type B - a people pleaser, I'm-human-so-it's-okay-to-cry.

That is until their wedding dates were booked mistakenly for the same date (you must understand that this is for drama purposes lol). Slowly, the brides-to-be have a roller coaster ride respectively, getting sabotaged by each other - WAR! - and another side of their personality began to illuminate.

Emma who was a Type B becomes bolder than ever and starts shedding her patience while Liv, previously a Type A begins to mellow down and misses her girl friend with all the fighting going on.

Maybe that's why I loved Kate Hudson's performance so much. XD

But the best part of the movie was NOT:
- the girls
- the boys
- the dresses (Liv wore a Vera Wang)
- the popcorn (of course not!)

It was the music. They are now hooked on me. Included are Colbie Cailat (Somethin' Special), Natasha Bedingfield (Happy) and Natalie Coleman (This Will Be).

The songs make you happy one. Really!

Maybe you're listening to one now and you didn't even took notice lol.

This movie scored (for me) because of its happy tunes.

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:

If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

Sure.

That was until the movie started. It wasn't half-close to Japanese. My left hand covered my left eye and my right hand did the same.

"Psst! It's a Thai film!"

Oh-oh. Rated U some more. Sure anot??

Well, I was proven wrong as a doubting Thomas. I actually won't mind watching Hormones again! This is getting ridiculously cheesy, I know.

Hormones adapts the Love Actually concept. If unfamiliar, imagine the Enid Blyton concept. "Hormones and other stories".

Well no. Not really. This movie is divided into 4 sagas where characters of different sagas don't actually know each other.

ONE: Two boys who find pleasure competing for the same girl's hand phone number.

TWO: One girl who is the overly-obsessed fan of Taiwanese pop singer.

THREE: A young man who has thoughts of lust after his girlfriend leaves for a summer break.

FOUR: A geek who falls for his best friend, the school's most popular girl.

I didn't know that... God wants me to be His friend, more than me being His servant!

I didn't know that... my fear managed to stopped me from living out an exciting Christian life.

I didn't know that... I was trying to look for God in only the obvious places all these while. A super good and "chim" example: "God, why can't I be in that girl's position talking to him???"

Like Mathew, I was kicked right where it hurt.

But God is taking me to the journey of healing, already! Amen.

Signing off,
We can walk together forever like this Lord, until the end of the road brings me to You. :)

Someday We'll Know

2008-12-10T15:19:00.003+08:00

Version: Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman (Switchfoot)

90 miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving, I don't know why
So many questions, I need an answer
Two years later, you're still on my mind

Whatever happened to Emelia Earhart?
Who holds the stars up in the sky?
Is true love once in a lifetime?
Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

Oh

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain

Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue

Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
Or what the wind says when she cries?
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the 97th time
Tonight

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain

Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue

Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Yeah-

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah

One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon

Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crashed in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
"Why aren't you here with me?"
Tonight

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain

Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue

Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Yeah-

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah

One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon

Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you

Signing off,
Someday I'll know what I should have written underneath here.

There's Something Called U-Turn

2008-12-04T16:32:00.002+08:00

I stopped work 48 hours ago.

Even though the pay is really good.

But I have no regrets!

I really wanted to give more of my attention to the planning of Encounter Camp. I'm putting my best into it, so are other people, but all in all our faith is in God that He will make this camp alive to every camper! ;)

THE FUUNNY THING THAT HAD TO HAPPEN TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS MY LAST DAY:

So anyway it was my last day of work and I had the privilege of being fetched by Joanna. She calls herself the dangerous driver because my mum constantly tells me to stick to 50km/hr on the roads.

It's not a bad thing, though. For both facts before and after "because".

So anyway after we parked at the opposite parking lot (Plaza Glomac), walking across to our workplace building was the only option.

But we were not familiar with the road and stairway system on how to get to the other side of the road.

So, being young, we explored our adventurous sides (PS: I didn't know Joanna was so daring! I'll tell you that later).

We walk and we walk until we see an open space.

There was a fountain there, too.

Now that I thought about it, it looks like a scene from Enchanted, right? The animated part in the beginning one.

Turning left, we saw a stair and above it, was the open air daylight and we saw Wisma Good Year (I don't have lots of pictures to show you because... well, I didn't think I would be getting lost haha).

Both of us squealed in delight.

Instead of a happy ending, we got a cacat ending once we were at the end of the bridge.

Joanna: Aiyah, just jump across lah. It's almost 9am.

Jue Lyn (looks down at the gap - there's a deep longkang hidden in between): E.r.r.

And I forgotten to tell you I was wearing khakis while Joanna, that girl was in her clean white pants!

She must be reading too much of Twilight. XD.

But like Princess Giselle, we were taken into reality's arms. "Let's go find another route."

Still, we finally found a way back to the Wisma - in one piece respectively.

THE FUUNNY PEOPLE I GET TO WORK WITH:

Dionne and Nicole.

I don't have to describe much about their personalities to you. You can guess right? Hehehe.

You two spiced up the office work. And meals with lots of sandwiches too! =D

Their friend, Warren.

He usually looks better but he's too busy hiding his guilt here. He was the one who prank called you, Su Faye! XD.

And the three of them are not even 17 yet.

Not forgetting Reis and Rich and CY! Don't have your pictures here but I've had a blast working with you =D

Ms. Joanna Ow Joo May!

Had a great experience working with you. Learnt a lot from you too. "It's always easier to blend in than to stand out". Yet, you were able to live the opposite. I'm encouraged. Hope I get the chance to know you even better in the days to come!

Signing off,

I want to be different in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12).

Don't Touch the Monkeys

2008-12-02T21:22:00.005+08:00

If you don't laugh after watching this video, I'll pay you RM1.oo hahaha. (Not enough money to pay eh).

Just heard of Flight of the Conchords (of New Zealand) through a mutual friend.

This duo make such a good laugh. Even if they were just to sit there without doing anything, they'd still hurt my stomach.

The way they paint real life issues - through humor - can't get any better. Of course, action still speak louder than words or lyrics. Hope you're inspired in some kind of way ;)

And...

--> I miss my college mates. Especially those who I haven't seen in months. =(

--> I haven't watch Twilight yet. This is wonderful. Those who haven't read the book also watched already la. =.=

Signing off,

"Girls are like phones. We love to be held, talked too, but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!" - I know, I have different mood at different sentences. XD

27 November 2008

2008-11-20T19:48:00.004+08:00

You probably have no interest in what I'm about to say XD.

Okay. That sounded so much like my part-time job - being a telemarketer. (Thanks Wai How, again!)

Still, it doesn't change the fact that Twilight is coming into Malaysian theatres on the 27th of November!

And the best thing is...

Its lead single is carried by the much loved rock band, Paramore, track titled "Decode".

Even if you're not into the forbidden love story between a vampire and a human (Twilight), pressing the play button to listen to a rock song won't hurt, right?

Just wanted to share some good stuff with you guys!

I've decided to update after a long moment of hiatus. I know, spank me! Lol.

The thing is... this blogger partially destroyed her medium of blogging.

Butterfingers is something I've literally grown up with. Just when I thought I was growing out of it, its seeds began to germinate again.

It aches my heart to see the laptop screen "ghost" - look up into Discovering Computers 2008 for more information.

I'm deeply humbled that despite my terrible mistakes (especially for my inaccurate judging towards my butterfingers), my dad promised to share his laptop with me. I was really afraid that I would screw up again, but thank God I've learnt my mistake.

Anyway, having a new laptop - I meant sharing a new laptop - means there are new things to explore. And I found this one day...

That's me being unsure on how to use the built-into-laptop-camera.

5 minutes later,

Owh. I know already. I can even smile and pose. Haha. Although its quite obvious that my smile looks kinda awkward here. =S

I'll be reading Cecilia Ahern's Thanks for the Memories in just a while I think. Am pretty dissapointed by the storyline (so far) since I've expected much much more from Cecilia Ahern - If You Could See Me Now was just blissful to read. I'll do the review next time lah.

Also, I realised there are so many bloggers now using the term "signing off" during the end of their posting. I really like how they can express their instant thoughts below it! So, I want to put it in now also lol. Oh and read this: Iona started the trend! Woo... =D

Signing off,

I think it's possible to love Monday.

The Sun Itself Sees Not Till Heaven Clears

The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.

My first (and last!) quote from Shakespeare. Taken from Sonnet 48.

It was even quoted from one of my most watched movie.

Time to roll the tape as holidays settles in!

Can you guess which movie I'm thinking of?

Hint hint: Crown Prince of Denmark.

Klang In PJ. Part II

2008-10-16T22:20:00.010+08:00

Remember this?

I found a picture with 99% persamaan lor.

Wai How imitating Wee Han; Joo Li imitating Janelle; Wei Wei imitating Iona.

"We can be original too okay."

Well I have to tell you our journey to PJ. I am hilariously-inspired to write this down.

This is Wei Wei's Honda Accord. Except that this picture taken from Google doesn't have its bumper sticking out hahaha.

It's no fun riding in Wei Wei's Honda Accord when the hot weather made every one of us - Chee Hong, Joo Li, Wei Wei, Wai How and me! - sweat like pigs. At least I know I was sweating like a pig.

Anyway, we paid the 60 cent toll and suddenly

the radio and the meter reader died.

Literally.

Even when Chee Hong stepped on the accelerator to its fullest, the meter reader read ZERO. I was pretty sure all of us freaked out like nobody's business.

Battery si liao. Almost.

But the meter reader worked again when the air-conditioner was shut off. We work hard to sweat harder than pigs, hehehe.

No choice lor. Got to turn back and drive Wai How's manual Wira.

For once, the Malaysian Wira was really a wira.

*Interrupted by an SMS sent by my mom*

Mum: PJ is raining very very very very very very very heavily. Drive carefully and ask the back seaters to buckle up.

Jue Lyn: Eh, PJ's raining. Wear your seat belts. Wai How, drive carefully ah.

We couldn't be more overjoyed. The sweating was about to end...!

And I forgotten to mention that Chee Hong's size is close to mine. He even fitted nicely into my shirt and pants! (Scary)

=.=

And oh. We found cows in Bandar Botanic (Wai How's housing area), can you imagine?

A picture to prove my honesty LOL.

Sanity Happens

2008-10-13T20:22:00.005+08:00

Reality check.

I'm having mixed emotions these few days. Wait, months. Or maybe even years. It's swinging up and down. Urgh, hormones, let me put all the blame on you.

Still, God has been the same yesterday, today, and (will be) forevermore (Hebrews 12:8)! And my friends - these wonderful homo sapiens who take time to dig the best in me.

Just what a girl needs for her dose of sanity.

***

I saw a rainbow today.

I saw a lizard today, too.

The L-word was on my dad's car's side-view mirror. It couldn't fly away even though my dad was speeding at 120km/hr. That L-word made me felt sick when I saw its tail flipping all over the side-view mirror. Sumore it's the brown-brown kind. You know what I mean.

But the L-word wanted to survive - it could only hang on.

I feel like I need to learn from the L-word. To hang on. Even when life makes you look foolish (flipping tail) hanging on?

I can consider being a philosopher.
Yeah, I know.

***

Wai How: I might be going on Wednesday. See lah. =D

Wei Wei, who told me to sleepover at Pek Kuan's house: See lah. If she lets me. HAHAHA.

Pek Kuan: Can I sleepover at your place? LOL.

Siew Mei: Your fringe looks absolutely nice! I also want.

Wee Han: Thanks Gweeky for 2 hrs of your time. Can't thank you enough =D

Aisha: "Explain to me again why I need a boyfriend" cracks me up. XD

Joo Li and Iona: Your compliments on my necklace makes me feel feminine (sorta) LOL.

Ivan: I'm not sleeping over at Wai How's house. Accuse me! XD

Chia Yee: Your handphone's so cool!!!! I want the dictionary part only though. Hehe.

Chee Hong: You and your new hair. XD

You. Yes, you: Buy an Andy McDonough CD! Ask me how.

The Journey of A Woman

2008-10-01T22:16:00.005+08:00

In the midst of busyness, it's amazing that I found time to take a good look at this Korean boyish charm.

He is hot.
He is a talented actor. (Note that I've only watched two of his works. XD)
He is good-looking.
He is tall.
He has the voice.
He is HOT!

Don't you just have to agree?

No?

Take a good look at him one more time!

Ahh. Won Bin!
*squeaks*

*He's like 13 years my senior. Sigh sigh.

Anyways, the past (or past past. can't remember, haven't update in ages. hehe) week hasn't been the best week I've had. It wasn't the worst either. Just felt wounded. Not emotionally. Nooo. XD

"No wonder this little sparrow couldn't fly, he was wounded - too wounded to do the very thing he was created to do." (From "The Journey of A Woman" by Jane Hansen)

So I'll

Catch the Chicken

2008-09-20T09:20:00.004+08:00

I'm changing sides.

The Korean boys (The Amazing Race Asia 3) are out! Wanna know why? Besides the fact that they had a later flight, they were two unskilled city boys who didn't master the art of catching chickens.

Nevermind that sentence. Lol.

I'm currently rooting for,

Henry & Bernie

and

Ida & Tania.

These two teams from Malaysia are competitive. Not to mention quirky and funny too. Thanks Su Faye and Joanna for the advice hehehhehe!

Henry, a chef in Australia (while catching the chickens): 'You' can be grilled, cooked, steamed...

Hopefully, they win this season's TARA.

Aunt Yu Fong wants me to help her advertise this. XD

"Where got people go blog about their own birthday one?"

That's an example of a stereotype. Maybe.

HAHAHA (for the 3 years to come, hahaha).

Okay okay I have to say this, "I'm 'surprised' by the Birthday party!!!"
Clues:
- Saw Wei Wei, Siew Mei, Joo Li, Pek Kuan and Chee Hong in Sunway Pyramid the minute I walked in (just from the parking level). One minute after entering SP, then I saw you! XD

- Su Faye spilled some juices on Saturday. It was informative, really LOL.

- Tze-En said, "Let's go to the toilet." And we ended up heading to the ladies'; the cop store (to collect something); to C@tchUP - to compare prices; and MPH. MPH really lagged our time. HAHAHA.

I'm soo grateful for all your wonderful wishes and prezzies - not just those who went for the party =)

Hereby, I give free flying kisses to everybody.
XOXO

Hahahahahahahaha.

Klang In PJ

2008-09-07T13:07:00.014+08:00

I gotta say I'm super touched when Klang towners hit PJ!

Aisha, Iona, Rachel, Janelle, Wee Han, Andrew and Caleb!!!
This post is for you.
Rather, the pictures are for you.

Listen, I only have 3 pictures. T-H-R-E-E with humans.
XD

And I totally apologize on behalf of my town's behavior. Haha.
Wee Han had to brake abruptly because the car in front stopped suddenly. It was...

...this close to a crash.
Maybe not.
Can't remember if I was exaggerating.
(Had to show Janelle a crab. Sorry you didn't get to eat Fatty Crab XD)

The car stopped for the roadside van which menjaja food. Don't know what he was menjaja-ing. The driver was hungry. Janelle was hungry too!

Anyway.

We dined in Prince Cafe in SS2. What a logo.

I can't remember what triggered Wee Han's ear to turn red. Compare it nicely to Aisha's spoon from her drink. Not much difference in colour, right?

That's what I thought.

Can't comment on the food lah. I'd be too biased to do such a thing! Hehe.

We headed back to my house after dinner.

Wee Han, Janelle, and Iona with their favorite Enid Blyton titles.
Wee Han: The ~~Gweeky~~ Greedy Rabbit.
Janelle: The Fairies' Shoemaker.
Iona: The Little Brownie House.

The Little Brownie House (food obviously) should have been Janelle's! XD

And oh, my room's a certified girl room. *Applause*

Iona: Eh, your room got these empty boxes! This room's a certified girl room.

Rachel: But I don't have any empty boxes in my room.

LOL.

Anyway, I have some pictures to show you!

(from left) Ms. Ding Tze-En and Ms. Liaw Su Faye looking picture perfect.
Can you spot me?

It's official. I permed my hair =D

Last but not least,

"Happy birthday Mommy!"
God knows how much you mean to me. God bless you!
(The birthday pics are still with Wei-En hahahhaa.)

Reflecting

2008-09-01T17:14:00.011+08:00

I'm ready to fly

I wanna breathe in and breathe out and be who I am
Let go of fear wanna feel alive

I'm ready to fly
The more that you hold me back you set me free
You help my heart decide
Maybe I'm, maybe I'm ready
To fly

["Ready to Fly" by Amy Pearson]

Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high

When all this world was there for us
And we believed that we could touch the sky

Whenever you remember, I'll be there
Remember how we reached that dream together
Whenever you remember

["Whenever You Remember" by Carrie Underwood]

I could be the one
Someone You're looking for
I don't have much to give
Lord, I'm ready
And through You

I could be the one
Whatever You want me to do
I will hold on to
What You say could be done
I could be the one

["I Could Be The One" by Stacie Orrico]

Remembering the past we've shared,
Ready to live the present to the fullest,
Imagining and anticipating tomorrow for all that will come to past!

Surrounded by Your glory
What my heart will feel
Will I dance for You Jesus
Or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in Your presence
Or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah
Will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

["I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe]

Nah, I'm not being emo. Hehehehe.
Just wanted to put up these pictures and duh, pen my thoughts. Some are mild, while some speak louder than others.
This is when blogging can do you good. XD

"Sibeh Geng"

2008-08-27T20:54:00.003+08:00

Okay, lots of people need to go shopping! Merdeka got sales, maybe?!

(A feeling of randomness comes over me)

You know what????
I LOVE KLANG! I LOVE KLANG TOWNERS!

You guys rock, or in layman's term, you guys are 'sibeh geng' because (as far as I'm concern):
1. You guys are very friendly
Seriously. You people have no idea how much you guys spoil me with your friendliness.
2. You guys are hyperactive
I love hyperactive-ness. I need hyperactive-ness. Hahahahaha.
3. You guys are so encouraging
Encouragement plays a LARGE role in a friendship!
4. You guys eat loads of humble pie
Right right right? XD
5. You guys bring me to new places
Hahahahahahaha. I've never went in to Greenbox loh. Thank God I now have because of you! Lols... If not I'd be katak di bawah tempurung!
6. You guys are funny
The jokes might be cold and lame at times, ("pause for reaction"), but they send in laughter lah...
7. You guys have blogs
Almost everybody in our semester do own one! Apa-lah. You people influenced me to start one hahaha.
8. You guys are sincere
I see each of you for who you are. You guys are not fake/pirated/cloned. All of your different sets of personality means a lot!
9. You guys seek to understand situations better aka 'understanding'
Sometimes we have to grow out of our shells to really take notice of other people. It takes a lot to do that. But you guys have... =)
10. You guys are my friends !
Hehehhehehehehe geli? I treasure you, my friend!

-Felt much better after writing down my thoughts.-

2008-08-27T09:08:00.000+08:00

In need of new clothes!

Kena Splash!

2008-08-21T15:54:00.004+08:00

I went to the dentist this morning to remove my stitches. I walked there.

It was raining in PJ. Janelle said it was in raining in Klang too. The rain even visited Beijing.

Thinking it was going to take a while in the dentist - with the dentist giving me numbing medication before cutting the sewed lines - was a mistake. She didn't give me any numbing medication! I went in and then *pfft* she cut my stitches! She cut it like how you would cut the extra inch of thread coming out of your schoolbag.

Well, pain's over anyway. So I was walking home after that. My house is VERY near the dentist by the way ;p

I kena splash!

Hahahhahahaa. It's the first time in my life that I kena splash - as a pedestrian walking by the road. I thought it was funny.

Sadly, I wasn't splashed by a Volkswagen though it would have been cool to be splashed by one, no?

TQ!

2008-08-21T10:19:00.005+08:00

Noticed my blog header changed?

All thanks to Ivan!! I love it, I really do! Million thanks weyy!

Sometimes I wish I can do amazing stuff like these, but it's not my talent hehhee. Yours lies here and you've already discovered it!

Love the birds ahhahaa and the tree and the heart shapes and the community of people inside and the Cross!! TQ so much!! I think I owe you one.

2008-08-20T21:29:00.005+08:00

Am feeling sappy now. Weird. Unexplainable. Haha. See?

I think my mood's just following the flow of the music. I hope it's for that reason, anyway.

Had a great day hanging out with you guys - Chia Wen and Chian Hui!! Can't believe we finally watched The Dark Knight! Like... how cool is that? (Do I sound bimbotic?)

Moving on.

I really loved the girl talk we had. I honestly, thoroughly, sincerely enjoyed it. Not just the BGR stuff, but the reality of life we go through! I thank God for both of you.
Chia Wen, what a cell leader you are! God gave me more than I could have asked for. And a friend!
Chian Hui, tks for being my car-pooling partner! You're a choloric (did I spelt it correctly?). I've learnt a lot from you =) Hahaha.
And thanks Joanna, for encouraging me all these while too! And you're so cool you read my blog lol. Me being a narcissist =.='

And oh...
Happy 18th birthday Janelle aka Miss Lamb Stew! Get well soon ya! And about that dead monkey...

A new batch of newbies are coming into college TOMORROW. Time flies and it takes my age with it. Owh well, what better to do than to deal with growing age? Crack a lame joke maybe?

Play the Dumb-Dumb Game lah.

Hahaha, so many people kena 'tipu'. (Jian Jie, Wei Wei, Ivan, Wee Han, Choon Yau). Who's next..?

Owh, and I forgotten what I was suppose to do. Here's the link. Go vote for Mr Matthias Gelber as the Greenest person on earth. I'm not sure how this whole thing works, but a vote couldn't hurt, rite? Hehehe.

And thanks to those who listen to my blog! Yeah, listen. The playlist is not taken away because you guys love it just as much as I do =)

Have a nice day!

Sappy is better than emo? Yeah, I definitely think so.

Am I Still Wise?/Syok Sendiri

2008-08-19T17:13:00.004+08:00

I'm really questioning myself now lol.

Good on you Chia Yee, for helping me check if I'm still wise!!

Chia Yee says:
Okay, "There are 100 buns in the box. 1 adult can have 3 buns and 3 kids can share 1 bun. There's 50 adults and 50 kids. How many buns can they have?"

Jue Lyn says:

Jue Lyn sends a nudge.

Chia Yee says:

Jue Lyn says:

Chia Yee says:

Chia Yee says:

Jue Lyn says:

The bulb lights up!

Jue Lyn says:

Jue Lyn says:

2008-08-16T09:58:00.003+08:00

How bored can a girl be when she enters Wiki and reads an article on Mandibular Third Molar? I tell you, she's plain bored!

Mandibular Third Molar is the so-called scientific name for wisdom tooth. You thought I was going to post about some science discovery?! Or some guy by the name of Bular bathing (mandi) in the Third Molar? Okay, that was lame (Hides my face while I read that line all over again).

Owh, and I've finally understood the meaning of wisdom tooth!

It's called wisdom tooth because... they appear later than your baby and normal teeth. Meaning when you're wise only does it appear. Serious. It should also come out when you're 16-25 years old. Start being wiser now? Ahahhaaha.

There are disturbing pictures on Wiki with wisdom tooth stories going on. Go there on your own free will lol. I don't want to hit your face with them (though I am very tempted to!).

My wisdom tooth surgery will be on this Monday and I'm thankful for those who had prayed for me. Though I'm more afraid of the post-surgical effects. Who asked me to read the Wiki article (I did). Now I scared myself liao.

"Bleeding and oozing is inevitable and should be expected to last up to three days."
3 days??? 3 words from Wei Wei, "What the Cheese?"

"Swelling. The duration of swelling varies from case to case."
If my face is still bengkak by Semester 2, don't poke me with questions.

"Should any nerve be in close proximity to the surgical site, there are concerns on nerve injury."

Alamak. I'm pretty much doomed, no? I might actually rot physically in my mouth. Gahh.
I need to go into that dental clinic in faith, faith is conquered fear after all.
Jesus, I pray for strength!
