(Aug 27th) a Week of Laughter Part 1

Missing me?

Finally I am back!

A week has passed and I am feeling great. For the past few weeks, it's all about work. Only work and church activities. But I am satisfied because most of the time I hung out with my favourite people (besides my family). In work place, there are the wacky mates who always make me laugh. In church, there are my shepherd, the Benjamites, and as well as the other church members.

Usually right after Sunday Service, I can't wait for JDMM on Monday (that's today). I feel so excited that I can meet my brothers and sisters again. The excitement grows when the church van arrives in front of the house. My heart would beat fast and I'd get stomach ache after that. It is weird. But I love them a lot, you know.

The post for today... is all about those who made me laugh real hard since last week.

Lazarus
The 'oldest' African in Hope Malacca. When we were in the van back to our house, we talked. He caught up with our Asian style of talking. With his own native slang, he spoke some Malaysian words like "Got car" and also "Can no not?" I couldn't stop laughing! He made me to realize how funny Malaysians talk.

Jameson Wong
The gay talk. One word. F.R.E.A.K.Y. It freaked me out so bad! He kept saying that he is one and I almost got fooled! I know he's not... but the way he said it as if he is. Earlier, he mentioned about the past and he laughed out REALLY loud. I was shocked. And embarrassed. He could remember every single stupid word I said...

Julian Foo
He always makes me giggle. Not only by his words but also his actions and laughter. Whenever I am with him, I can't stop laughing when he starts to say something. I can't wait for JDMM so that I could have the chance to laugh more

David Harbor
During CLS Fair on Sunday, I left my phone on the table. I was searching for it and I DID ask him about it. I almost cry out but I knew he took it. I had the feeling that he took it. His so-called "question mark" expression on his face really tickles me. His look was so innocent that I dare not 'accuse' him for hiding my phone.

Abraham Tan
Surprise or not, he's a witty guy. When I knew him last few years, he wasn't this funny. This time, he's a great brother in Christ. He made me laugh so, so many times! Sometimes it’s not the words that are funny... but his oh-actually looks are so comical!

It's really bad to laugh at people... but they are the ones who made me laugh. They always have something to say that will cheer me up. No wonder Abraham says that I smiled a lot these few days...

Note:
To Le Jie, I enjoyed the moments we worked together in Quality. I am so joyful to know you and taking you as my little godbro. You're a great person. Just have faith that you are able to do your Maths and I'm sure you'll get good grades for it. Thanks for everything, bro!

(Aug 14th) Around The World

Usually what I'll do when I get bored is write some stuffs at home. But now I am in the lab, online, doing nothing... ok, not exactly nothing but I am waiting for one particular person to online, and just... waiting!

GRRR!!!!
*cough*

Yes, as I was still waiting (I am still waiting), I thought "Why not I go surf my friends' blog?" And I did. Till I get bored of reading Malaysians' blogs. Then guess what I did? I clicked on "Next Blog >>" on top of the page and read some random blogs around the world. I read a few blogs from students in Sri Lanka and I am amazed by their captivating style of writing about stuffs and how they expressed themselves! I am impressed. Here are some links for you to check out:

these 3 are friends actually =)
` paan waati (you so have to read the birthday post)
` nimra (the girl filled with depression... sad but interesting!)
` john

After that, I began to look for more interesting blogs! Yes, I came to a few good ones as well but all about work... no interest lar, right? There's one blogger who writes his post just like how he could write in a book! His grammar is so darn good! Very, very good... I couldn't find his blog anymore, sorry about that =(

Ok, there's one blog that I read - wished I didn't - it's filled with... FILTHY words. If she could write a book about "My Diary of Making Love" and I am so sure she'd make million$$$. She could be rich and famous. Plus it's a f.r.e.a.k.y blog. Sorry to say that. Because it's ALL about sex. Only THAT. She poured out EVERY detail in the post. There are even a few PART 1 & 2!







God...

6 in the Morning

I never encounter that moment before.


I don't know that it was very, very painful.


There were no tears, only cries.


I was praying in tongue, asking God to put a stop to it,


As I hugged myself, feeling the sting even more...


I know I should have eaten last night.


I should have drunk something to fill my stomach.


But I was irresponsible about my health.


As a result, I have GASTRIC


It was very painful.

Too Close For Comfort

Imagine a stranger sitting beside you. He comes closer, wanting to sit near you. Closer and closer he comes. How would you feel? You feel like barking at him and if possible, kick him away. You don't like being glued to someone. I don't like that either. No one likes it. But when it comes to God... would we kick Him away? During preaching on Sunday, I was really surprised that what David Lai had said... is true. It's about "When God Gets Too Close For Comfort". God wants to interfere in my life but I didn't allow him to. I take matters into my own hands and kept saying, "I know what to do" and "I will plan later".

But honestly, I don't know what to do or what is going to happen in the next minute. I know that if I let Him in, things will get worse. Therefore, I don't let Him to deal with my problems. But as I am trying to avoid the problems, they walked into my life again. And then, I have to try to settle them once more with my own potency. Since I want to be the head, He allows me to. He sits down and watched me as I ignored His presence. As I am settling my problems, I kept on failing. I stood up again, but I fell once more. It was all because I said I know what to do. When you are the one in charge of the things we called "Struggles", you'll think a lot of stuffs. You thought of many solutions but you can't pick one. Your brains felt like exploding.

But as what God had said in John 14:27; "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid", I believe that when I asked Him to solve the problem for me, I will feel peace at once. I don't care about what solution He will provide me. I kept comforting myself that He will give me the best solution.

There was one time when I had this problem with PTPTN. I received letters saying I did not pay the loan back. I've forgotten about it till I receive the lawyer letter. I was so anxious! I don't know what to do. I quickly call them up to ask what I should do. This is the time I really have to let Him in. I prayed for it for a few weeks. God told me, "Write a letter." I felt so stupid for not thinking about it. One or two weeks later, I went to the bank to withdraw some money. I know how much left, so I don't want to check. But I kept hearing voices asking me to check. So I go verify. When the balance appeared, I was a bit confused. I stayed there for a while before I realized that... I receive the payment!

On that Sunday itself, I prayed to God that I should really let Him come into my life.

The Family

There was only one month left when we prepared the presentations for 2 very important events...

Hope Malacca 10th Anniversary and 4th Church Camp

The bulletins to the booklets; the multimedia slides to the props; the booking for accommodations to the transport arrangements... I can't figure out how God work in every one of us. Honestly, things didn't go well before the event. I was supposed to be in the sketch as one of the main actor, but I withdrew (many others did as well) because I can't memorize scripts. Ok lar, I AM BAD IN ACTING, that's the fact. I always thought that I'd embarrass myself on stage. I always feel cold once I got ready by the stage. Even just for a short while on the first scene. See? How to be an actor...?

We had a lot of things to do. And there are so many stumbling blocks on the way. The previous Hand Mimes practices were really good. But during the final rehearsal, the world was not round; some of us have forgotten some parts, the love isn't beautiful... I realized that there are some mistakes. I don't know how they happened. Sis Pai Chet was frustrated. I almost cried. The sketch wasn't great and some actors still don't know when or what to say. So many problems happened on the special day...

But I am thankful because the team from Hope Singapore (who pioneer Hope Malacca at the initial state) was smiling during the sketch and hand mimes. I could see bro Jameson laughing out loud during the multimedia presentation which earlier faced some technical problems. The files couldn't open... OMG! I was terrified. Luckily, David Junior has the back up but those were the half done presentations. So, for the rest of the presentation, they spent a few minutes to prepare the clips they were all fine during the practices. When the Africans sang "We Believe", it's not aligned with the music that was playing. I noticed that Sis Ireen wasn't happy.

I was moody during the 3 days camp. Sometimes I am happy; the other times I am a bit sad or frustrated. I realized that whatever I hoped for to take place during the camp, they did not happen. I was so upset and I skipped some of my meals because of that.

Anyway, all ended well. It was great. Despite all the bad things we went through, all of us stay united and submitted ourselves to those appointed by God to lead us.

Here are some pictures for you to look at... surprisingly, I didn't take any

My Top 3 Embarrassing Moments in 2007
'Fess the humiliation!

ONE
As the last person in a debate team, he/she should say out what mistakes the other team has made. It's what we call as "shoot back". I was the last person. But I didn't know what I should do. I was so stupid till whatever content that I gave out, no points given. I hate debating, by the way. Ok, once again, it's not like there's only 2 teams in the classroom with the teacher. There were so many students in the class! I acted brainless in front of so many people... well, my team lost.


TWO
I entered the wrong class and realized it one minute later. 60 seconds is not short, you know! It's not like once you stepped into the room, you noticed that you don't know the people. I stood at the door looking at the guys. They looked back. My legs couldn't move. I don't know that I entered the wrong class. It's not the first week of class or something. It was the third week. I registered late ma. So I was clueless why they looked at me as if I am… ok, in the wrong class. Till now, I couldn't figure out how I manage to look at them, looking like a lost person, without feeling like one.


FINALLY
EVERYONE knows that I am so bad in speaking Mandarin. If you are working, you should at least know how to speak in these languages: English, Mandarin, and Malay. If you don't, you'l have difficulty in communicating or negotiating with your customers. Whenever I work in Lilic or in the phone shop, I always humiliate myself in speaking Mandarin. I know I pronounced the word correctly but when the customer said, "Ha?" then there are these 2 best guesses: I didn't speak loud enough or I said the wrong word. Whenever they did so, I'd scurry to my mate and asked for help. Then, I hide myself from that customer.

Betrayal

my heart

She keeps on betraying me.

When will she stop? She's my best friend. Does best friends betray each other? I have forgive and forget the things she did to me.. I still treat her as if nothing has happened. Last week, there was a discussion about a big matter that has to do with us. It's settled. Today, a friend talked to us about another problem. I know that she will tell the truth to our friend. I know that it'll be settled as how she had informed me. When I was being asked about it, I was thinking, "Why would he ask me this?". But I told the answer. My heart was beating fast as if I am the culprit (talking to this friend really gives me goosebumps)

I don't know why she does this to me. Is she afraid that he will get angry with her? That's why it's better to use my name? Or she is grade A in telling lies? From the day she spilled my secrets to others in order to let everyone to concentrate on me, I just know that she can't be trusted. I really love her but I just can't have the trust in her anymore.

What should I do? I can't just tell out my feelings to her. It's really hard. I can't be serious in front of people. I can't be angry with her.

ARGHHHH!!! Tell me what should I do to let her to 'wake up'!

p.s: someone hacked into my friendster account......... again!!

10 facts

10 Facts You Don't Know About Me

I hate pink. Why in the world there's pink? Who thought of pink? Why is it P.I.N.K?

I love to talk a lot. Bring out one topic; I'd jump in and chat till another topic flies in. I remembered talking with a group of friends and we all started with one topic. And then, one topic linked to another. In the end, I've no idea what we talked about.

But my words will be flying all over the place when I'm asked for opinions on the spot. My brain would break down in a jiffy. That's why you won't make out what I wanted to say. It happened during care group when I was supposed to share my testimony. There were 18 people. I just can't... say properly! I wrote it on a paper earlier but I left it at home.

I am a new fan of Michael Learns to Rock. This Denmark band was so popular when I was 10 years younger. After going to the concert, I started to love them again. There is one old song that I never heard of called "Romantic Balcony". Very nice!

I can be very girlish. Dresses, skirts, eye shadows, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, nail polish, lip gloss... I love them all. I am a girl, after all

I love to get stuffs which I don't need afterwards. When I see stuffs, I'd go "OMG! Green colour! So cute..." then, PAID! And, I get bored of it few days later.

I used to be scared of bus rides. If I think about sitting public bus, my brain starts to work real hard, "What if I took the wrong bus? What if I missed the bus? What if the seat is dirty? How long the bus will take to reach there?" The buses will never come on time. Sometimes I'd wait for an hour or more for the bus from Jusco back to my place. Sigh.

I love going to cafes where I could talk with my pals for a long, long time. My favourite spots: Fulltank, More, and PearlBean. Most of the time, I want to go there just to enjoy the air cond and view. Haha!

I won't like window shopping-ings anymore. Window shopping makes me feel sad. When I am a buyer, I can't buy anything. When I am the salesperson, I don't have any sales.

I always share songs. Each time I hear some good songs, I'd share with the people in the world. Some who rejected said, "They're not my cup of tea, sorry".

Love 'em...
