My One & Only 21st B'day

With no exception every year, mummy's b'day is one day before mine, of course. If I'm at home, we would be celebrating together..^^

It's 10 mins before my b'day ends. & I will take a long time to finish this post, as usual.

I speed up now.

Firstly, Happy Birthday to Ceek Chean, same day, but one year older! Haha~I know I know, stop emphasising right. 

& thanks a lot for your thoughtful gift, I like it so much.

& I must thank one fella, if not, he'll be angry. Thank you for what you did yesterday, I'm really very happy & touched. 

Next, thanks to everyone who wished me. Since it's my 21st b'day, I would list out everyone's name. (Never got out of lameness). Thank you so much to my dear family, dad who said I'm more matured (ehem, don't know why. But my dad is always right, you know.), mummy for your lovely present, brother who wanted to give me jogoya treat but I don't want because of my allergy to seafood, Carol who kept me waiting for her message. Thank you to Ooi Noo Yin, my dear silly BFF for her "shiny" gift, haha, my wacky housemates, mishel, zaza, tjc, amelia, ynuoh for the gifts & the nice cake! I was forced to model wearing my b'day gift. Laughed till our stomach bursted. Now, classmates: especially sydney who messed my hair & said I'm closer to my grave, pei ling who put effort to write in mandarin on the b'day card, elyse who's happy I'm finally same age as her, jane for the chocolate, eli who wanted to be the last to wish me, adeline who said she owes me a gift 1st & everyone else in the class, too many. Oh yea, & sal, thank you for the present too! Thanks to all of you for remembering my b'day but I don't know how come you guys do.

David, Lai jing wei, wen fei, Penny, Yutou, Peha, Mut cui, a number that I haven't asked who he/she is (seems like the person knows me quite well because he/she spelled my name correctly! But it doesn't ring a bell), ah go, ah meng, tian lai, liling, edison, ah chuin, I don't want to continue anymore. Just thanks a lot, guys.

Phew, I'm officially 21! It's not that scary to be an adult. I don't mind actually, old fashioned but true, age doesn't matter. Me is fery harpy! Just hope this year will be a much better year. Know God is taking care of me. (ceek chean, I feel so deeply because of your gift!)

My b'day wish is the same as last year, & the year before, & the year before. Just a simple thing I wish I can have for the rest of my life. Who said I'm not easily satisfied huh?

Live life, love life, peeps. 

Happy Birthday, Lynda (perasan, they said.) and I give all the thanks to you, Mummy...& daddy, you are important too...love you guys...hehe~ ^^

Birthday is over! But the spirit never ends.

Wheel of Choices

I went to a church yesterday as invited by Jane. I was deciding hard whether to be attached. It was really hard. I don't know. I think some people would say I'm giving excuses not to go to church. But except my church in hometown, I don't like any other church. I don't think I'm finding excuses for myself.

Every time I go to a new church, I will compare it with my own church. Of course it will never feel the same but at least I want it to hit close. Hmm, so when I couldn't find a suitable one, I decided to stop trying. I thought, as long as God is in my heart, what's the big deal? So of course again, my parents beg so badly to differ.

So I went yesterday, the church wasn't so bad, the singing session- the part I like best was great, the pianist even more awesome. I think I'll need time to adapt, it's a new environment. All youths; honestly, I don't like being with so many people my age. I just can't get along with them. I know it's my problem.

Well, I've made the 1st move, I'm joining CF as well.

I'm a very slow progressor, I'm not a fan of changes, unless I'm convinced it's for the much greater good.

Lastly, just want to share a song that means a lot. Love God, guys.

We Were The Reason

As little children we would dream of Christmas morn

Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find

But we never realized a baby born one blessed night

Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

*We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love

*Chorus

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him (every part to Him)
And all that I do every word that I say (you know I’ll be saying)
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him (every thing for Him)

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give (all that he could give all)
To show us the reason to live

#He is the reason to live
(don’t you know do you know the reason
that he came, oh he came to save us
when he gave his life for us) he suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave everything (everything that He had He gave)
To show us the reason to live

*chorus + # together
Don’t know how I could thank Jesus all that he had all..
*chorus + # together

First Full of Determination Fasting

At this very moment, my stomach is slightly growling & my will of iron is melting. I am watching Open Season 2...mr weenie is seduced by the bone cookies left as a trail to lead him back to his master. "I'm so weak." he say as he is eating those cookies one by one & so he has returned & is trapped again. Can't help thinking that I might be like him in a couple more hours, perhaps. So now I'm at the scene where Boog is very hungry & eating those chocolates.

& here I am, in the commitment of a big plan - 1 day fasting, to clear out my body toxic, as proposed by Zaza. I still have exactly 12 hours & 37 minutes. & I think I'm still doing a pretty good job while Zaza is out in the evil world, facing much greater temptations in Tropicana. & she's walking, using up her energy. Oh no, is she going to be hungrier?!!! I admit my self control is very low. As a food lover like me, what can I do best during this period? Imagining about good food of course!!! All those japanese katsu set, spaghetti carbonara, steaks, kueh teow, dim sum, new york fish & chips, takoyaki, green tea ice cream with red bean~

Like Elliot says, this is a good character-building moment. (I'm relating everything to the cartoon now.)

Well, like Elliot & Mr Weenie say, again, "I'm strong." *slap* "With conviction!" "I'm strong!!"

"Carbonara!!" (screaming inside)

Retrieving...

I'm back.....after so many months...ever since the last sem break, I got demotivated again...
Let me do some update...last year christmas was fun & trembling my heart as usual...
Seeing my sister dancing & singing choir on stage made me felt...she's a big girl now..
Doing what I've been doing for God when I hadn't come here to study...she was so pretty & cute that night...
I felt sweet & relieved...just feel great to be home...& love you a lot, sis...
after X'mas, of course it's the annual year end thanksgiving dinner in church...
Always looking forward to this, *ahem* not because of the food...I had to do the slides last night...
Key in all the procedures...those adults were so irresponsible...the slide projecting was a mess...I was immensely angry at the moment, no thanks to my brother's splendid annoyance beside me...saying I wasn't good & all...
but then, my mood switched back...there was game session, I like sharing session the most...
Mum & dad went up, giving thanks for everything God blessed us with that year...
& they stayed in church for the new year countdown...it's their 1st time...^^
Then it's time to come back to study...but after 2 weeks, I was heading home again...for CNY!!!!
CNY this year was not as lively & spirited...there was news of deaths everywhere.
Cancer is at the top of the fatal disease list for me...
Then it's time to leave my endeared shed again...
This time, I didn't cry & I didn't vomit in plane too!!! *applause*
But my skin allergy is back...after 4 years, estimatedly...
Even though homesickness was not encountered, I still found myself feeling one kind...
But I guess it's all because of the undone business, all the notes messed up here & there, all the assignments & presentations piled up in my head, all the due dates in my diary...
But I'm composing up slowly...
Many things are changing around me, some I'm trying to ignore, even though pain is solidly felt...
But new things I'm intending to make my life more meaningful, are now on schedule..& I'm speeding up..
Alright~I'm done...

*photos will be uploaded later on.

Happy New Year, everyone~

Live life, love life~

Belated X'mas Greetings

Merry X'mas, Everyone!!!

This year, it's celebrated one day earlier in my church. All ballrooms were booked on the 25th.

But it was still as fun as any other year. My x'mas wish is to get to celebrate x'mas in my church every year.

^^ Besides CNY, this is my favourite celebration. Haha~My cute little sister was in the choir & youth dance group. So cute~lazy to post photos now...later la~

Just love x'mas!!! For those who forgot the reason why we are here, this is the day to refresh thy mind & rethink what had happened 2008 years ago. Well, normally humans feel more on special occasions. Although it has been argued the 25th is not the exact date, it's not the date that counts, it's the thought behind. Merry X'mas to everyone, & happy birthday to the father high above. ^^

Analysis of My Name

You Are Peaceful and Content

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

Well, it does sound like me...I won't say all of them, but...acceptable.

Hmm, too common & general though. I don't believe many things can be told by just a name.

I know many people with my name. Don't think I feel like them. But the title? Peaceful & content? Don't say a word, anyone.

So here's the link. Your name's Meaning?

Home Sweet Home

Just feel normal & nice to be at home...everything feels better, the water is cleaner, eggs taste better, weather is cooler, lcd is bigger, laughter is louder, sleep is longer...

Still enjoying the mode of not doing anything, besides those of laziness.

Even counting how many mosquito bites I get everyday...not a pleasure...

Don't know whether my mum's liquid enzyme is the cause. But I'm sure the ants invading are one of the consequences.

Despite of being at the bottom/beginning of the food chain, mosquitoes are not good to humans.

That's what I thought before I read this...

What are the benefits of mosquitoes?

Benefits are in the eye of the beholder. Everything in nature occupies an important place. From most public stand points mosquitoes don't have much use. However, mosquitoes pollinate flowers, and provide an important food source for a wide range of creatures such as fish, turtles, frogs, birds, and bats. It is also important to remember that pesticides kill almost all insects and many other organisms they contact. This includes butterflies, mites, ladybugs, and other insects that pollinate flowers, remove detritus from the ecosystem, digest feces, and all the other important functions we depend upon insects to perform in the environment.

Never knew mosquitoes do pollination. Not a big fan of bugs. So, never paid attention about them much.

At least I am now. But still, I don't like them even though spiders, fish etc feed on them, & if there are less mosquitoes, then there'll be less spiders. If there are less spiders, then those other insects that they feed on will be more. Then we'll hate them instead. This is so.....

Enough with this. As long as I don't get malaria or dengue. No point hating them anyways.

Just started reading A Tale of Two Cities 2 days ago...hope I can finish it.

Not persistent.

By the time I finish this post, I've already used up to 5 hours, as I was walking here & there, bugging my brother while he's watching heroes now. I've watched. So I'm being the answerer to his questions & also the spoiler.

Speaking of, *saying cooly* I want ep 14. (Those who haven't watched ep 13, don't read this!) Ando has his own power finally, as foreseen. Wow~he's the power charger. Matt could hear the thoughts of the whole city after he touched him. Daphne could walk through time & space by holding him. So they went back to save Hiro. Still grieving for Hiro's loss of power. He's still so adorable anyway. & Elle's death. Glad that Arthur is dead. Can't bear with Nathan's idiocy. & Tracy Strauss. & Mohinder, loser. The beginning of Volume 4, Fugitives!

& why is Mr. African Isaac alive again? Mohinder's snake-shelled body is healed by only having the potion poured all over him.

Angela, still not dead yet. Apparently, she knows who Gabriel's real parents are, therefore preventing her from being killed by Gabriel. & I thought the snow globe collector IS the biomum. Eager to know who they are. Liking him after he has been switching from bad to good, then to evil again. But he killed Elle. Wonder whether he loved her at all.

Okay, it's been a pleasure. Be right back. Like they say, love nature for what it is. Love everything. Hard.

Home, at last...

I'm in different place now from this morning...

I almost missed my flight...this is one experience...

Embarrassed but I nearly cried in the airport...eyes were teary...

Hmm...skip the part why this happened in the first place...ehem, it's not the time to put the blame...

I'm happy in a way, I had a new adventure today...experienced that my name was announced...

& running to the departure gate & being the last one to get on the plane...

& I wonder when I will recover from travel sickness...not delighted having to rely on medication...

My cousin sister told me I'd get better as I grew up...it's not true!!!

& I'm really tired...I slept right after lunch & woke up only for dinner..

But now, I must write down  this day...the feeling knowing that maybe I wouldn't be able to come home was killing.

I couldn't believe when I got in the plane, thought whether it's possible I was in the wrong flight.

By the way, I'm still not well composed now...like something is not right...just have been feeling weird since last night....

Another news that can make me feel worse, I have to lead singing session in prayer meeting on tuesday.

The news that I was coming back spreaded quite fast, I must say...

It's not that I don't want to lead...but I just feel scared & shy...besides, I haven't done this in a long time.

I'm not a good piece of leadership...I never liked it when I have to lead...

I prefer when I don't have to talk, I can be the pianist, be assistant, usher, where I won't be having so many people listening & looking at me...

Besides, so many years I was not with them, & I wasn't almost never arranged to serve, it'll feel awkward.

But I'm making good use of my EQ now, I'm sure I'll be okay.

I'm home now. & I hope I won't fall sick again.
