Xmas

Part 1
Hope of God Malacca had Christmas Sketch practise on the Dec 23. Everyone was there from 1pm until 1am to practise the sketch. Some stayed behind until early in the morning, I'm not sure of the time but when I turned up on the next day, the hall is wonderful! The decorations are up and also the balloons. I was delighted to see such beauty in the church but later on, a few thoughts came into my mind about it. The balloons shouldn't be in 4, the Christmas word should paste in the middle, the 'house' should be behind a little bit, the keyboard should removed from the stage because it's taking a big place and others. But somehow I managed to amuse myself by taking a picture with the Christmas tree. Ok, so here are the pictures of the people who act in the sketch and also some candid shots.

Part 2
Sometimes, actions are indescribable. The Christmas celebration (on Dec 24) was beyond belief. I did not expect such energy from the visitors *none of my friends whom I invited show up*! I thought that they'd stand around without moving during Praise and Worship time but they're rocking with all of us. That's the spirit! They were all still energetic when we do that again on Christmas Day! I was rocking too. I don't really sing out loud during that time in Sunday Service but I love to party. So I was enjoying. I love the songs that the worship team played. Although they're not those hits songs the radio station plays, I think they are cool. The multimedia presentation was wonderful and I hope that I'm able to show all of you here. Give me some time to upload it in YouTube.com. Before Praise & Worship, it was Ice Breaking session. We were supposed to put away the nicely arranged chairs to the side to play games! I love the game so much! Everyone was screaming and shouting on top of their lungs for squirrels!

It goes like this: Fire, Hunter, and Earthquake
3 people in one group: 1 squirrel and 2 trees
(trees protect squirrel)
When shout Fire, trees will run around to find another tree to protect the squirrel.
When shout Hunter, squirrels will run to join the other trees.
When shout Earthquake, everyone will run around to find new trees and squirrels.
So, the person who can't find its tree or squirrel has to go to the front and shout Fire, Hunter, or Earthquake. It goes on until the game master decides to call it off.

Here are the photos (from the beginning till the end) I took during the Christmas event in Hope of God, Malacca. I have not uploaded the sketch pictures (plus other pictures) because I want to take clearer photos from JK. Mine are too blurring because the camera I'm using does not support movement thingy. People do move on stage so, there are no nice photos for that except for the doves and colourful balloons!! Ha! p.s.: after taking the second last picture, I was asked "What's wrong with you?" in a polite, playful but sarcastic tone. Don't worry, you'll find it out after browsing through the pictures :] sorry if this is making your computer lag, I hope that you're able to view them all *come back next time if you can't view all now*. Don't miss out any because who knows that you know one of the 'mad' people. Enjoy!

Failed

Hellow fellow mates, how are you doing today?

Well, as you all know that I have a presentation today. My group was the 2nd one and I was very nervous. My hands were cold. No, not because I'm nervous but the lecture hall WAS cold! Ok, so this is not the reason WHY I wanted to write something in here.

The lecturer stopped me before I finished my part on System Software. I wasn't reading from my notes or the slides. So he did that for...? The last slide for the System Software is my favourite part because Infineon does uses it. But he wouldn't let me finish. I get so upset! But I tried to look at the better side. Erm, no, I don't know what "better side" I should think about. But well, I asked Shaluja something and I actully smiled again :) see, it's a good thing I have moodswings *isn't it?* So the bad feeling went away. Probably the lecturer thinks that Windows is not a software. He even asked a lot of Questions to Hana and thank God, she's able to answer him. We didn't really ask for the annual sales of the company because we forgotten to bring the paper with us on the interview day.

After presenting, Shaluja wanted to go home but we all not dare to move away from our seats thinking that we have to stay till the end. But I wanted to blog about this so much yesterday, I came to the lab and wrote a few lines *if you have read* when the second group was still presenting. That was rude of course but you know, I have a great obsession for blogging. Although my English wouldn't be "that" good, but at least you understands what I'm trying to say and can imagine what I've been through :) oh here's a picture of myself with my GREAT members :]]] *no, I'm not the leader...heh*

hana, me, shaluja

er, sorry I was looking like some grandma. I looked pale because I haven't put any blush. Do I actually look like a dead person posing? Nope! I still love this picture though :) I thought I look good when I see it in MY pc. ha! But it's ok. I haven't done anything to MY face but to the whole picture. When a classmate took it, I think his fingers were oily, so, the lens actually got oily. But it turns out fine eh? :]]

COMMENT please :( don't be lazy to click "Post a Comment".

Thank you!

Mess!

Looks of An Angel,

but a Devil is hidden in Between

Terren + Rachel + dirrrty White Bear argh!!! my shirt! on the bed!

ha! serves him right. can't get down!

yea, she is shy this time. no idea why :(

see her big fat bum there XD


@___@ headache. this is the reason i took the pics. official monkeys of the Chow family

they came to visit me at my house early in the afternoon. i got back about 5pm and i saw them. when i entered my room, they followed me in and YEA!! they went around my room like monkeys or they haven't seen any neat rooms before. ha! it's true that their rooms are messy back at their home. nyeh~ especially Terren *the brat* who doesn't even know how to ask for the Mr Dorky Berr properly. always show his tantrums. always "EEEEEEE" loudly at me when i don't want to give Mr Dorky Berr. i'm afraid that one of its hair will tear! one day, if possible, i'll slap him. but it's too harsh :P anyway, Rachel was quick when she saw i brought up the camera. ah, she's one 'model'. a FAT model *i'm not mean. she is fat* ok, one good thing about the kids is they're both cute. Terren has beautiful eyes while Rachel has a nice smile. seriously you should look at them 'live'!

GREAT! i'm having presentation tomorrow for Information System. today look at the slides already half blur. i hope no one thinks this, "she doesn't even know what she's presenting". it's TRUE! i don't know what i'll be presenting T____T it's all IT and IS stuffs. i'm just a management student! i'll be wearing extremely formal tomorrow *yes, formal shirt and skirt plus heels, as usual* Hana complimented on my look when i wore the "old" dress to the interview at Infineon *blush* thanks, Hana *hugs* you look very beautiful on that day i went to your place. i wonder why you wear very formal during classes but very beautiful at night! aha! that's your style, and i love it :)

OH MY GOD!

OH MY GOD!

*running in circles like Sushi*
It's coming! I can't believe that it's coming...!
Get your mind all set for this important day!
Don't forget to bring your friends to the party!
Do not miss Second Chance in Hope of God Malacca.

You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why,
Santa Claus is coming to town…
(Sorry, I don't remember the next verse. It's quite nice though)

FLASH BACK! Remembered that she has to do a 50 words essay on popular local or international celebrities *McFly!*. Yey-ness! She's darn happy that she's able to share her favourite band with the lecturer again. TROUBLED: The essay must be in FRENCH. Now she started to feel a bit dizzy and she wants to sleep. But she has to do her part for Information System assignment. She is clueless about SAP implemented in the IT based companies. STUNNED: The page on SAP that she found through Wikipedia is not the same as the Infenion IT Senior Manager showed her. But later when she gets back, she realized that she searched for it by typing SAPS, not SAP. Now, she has to choose to continue being baffled or stop being baffled. She regretted for not buying text books earlier. She must get them booked the next morning! She has to be twice hard working now for the finals. Poor Ann, she missed her mid term yesterday morning. Tsk tsk. No supplement some more, worse! LA PLAN: Maybe she doesn't have to sleep and then at 8am, she'll go to BIS lecture. Probably she'll ask Alex or Donovan to sign the attendance. But she’d better go. If someone finds out, she'll get killed. Ok, she has to go anyway. After class she got group discussion with Hana and Shaluja. And then if still early, can go have lunch with Alex before going to lab. But have to walk far, feeling very lazy already. Eh, she lost weight because of that and these few days, walking to Alex's house is her best option to lose more weight! YES, she should find some excuses to get to his house from MMU. Thank God the rain has cleared off yesterday noon. Now she can walk everywhere without wearing jacket and getting wet. She really thanks God that kind of rain doesn't come everyday. ANNOYED: But what if the sun shines so brightly again tomorrow and then she'll get clammy and pongy? Great, now she wished that she didn't pray for the rain to stop. But it's ok. She just needs air conditioner. But only original cool wind into her room, no need air conditioner. Or else she'd end up like her cousin who only can survive in cool places. FLASH BACK! She has to do her work NOW!!!


Where are my notes?

Listening Test

Hello people. This is my third post for today. I wonder why I have the mood to write so many things. Anyway, here's what happened.

I had my French Listening test and I went into the class half hour late. The students were already there and listening to what Mr Stephané is saying. So, he was waiting for me to get ready. Ok, so I got ready. Then I began to hear alien language coming out from his mouth. I seriously had no idea what he was talking but I finally heard some words that ARE familiar to me. I quickly jot down whatever I know in English and slowly think what the right grammar for that sentence is. I've said before, I need to practice my French grammar. As you know its listening test, I thought I've to translate what he has said into English. That's easy. I wrote down what he said. I looked at the answers from the girl in front and I wondered why she didn't write anything. Just in time, Mr Stephané said he'll ask us questions about what he has mentioned later *dang!* I began to write frantically.

I was so nervous because I haven't read anything from the notes and I'm not sure about the grammar usage. I was so muddled because I remembered what my friend said about the final paper. I really thought I won't get good marks for this listening test! I rewrite my answers on the new sheet of paper and then pass it up to him. I asked a few friends about the verbs but failed to write it correctly. When Mr Stephané read out the marks for us, I was really scared. So the first person he called is a Chinese girl *the one who didn’t share for Oral test* and she got full marks, which is 9/9. She’s good at French, I know. And then slowly, he called my name. I was wondering what he was saying because he didn’t pronounce my name properly. And he said "8" and I felt as if he’s trying to yell "SURPRISE!" The lowest is 4. Alex, it's ok about your marks. Just a little bit more of practice, I bet you can pass your finals!

As you can see, Mr Stephané is helping us! So happy that he's able to help us!
3 cheers to Mr Stephané

Ok, here are the answers to the test:

1. Le personnage s'appelle Eric
2. Sa date de naissance est le vingt trois september mille neuF cent quatrevingt cinq
3. Il habite à Lyon en France
4. Sa Femme s'apelle Marie
5. Ses enFants s'appellent Vincent et Nicolas
6. Il est proFesseur d'Anglais à l'université
7. Il aime jouer au basketball et à la guitare
8. Il n'aime pas aller en boite

TONGUE TWISTER!

Rain, come again another day

So maddening!

Why the rain still falling down from the sky? Why it rained for 3 days in a row? Why not only one day and leave the human beings alone? Why does it have to be cold when raining? Why am I blabbering so much here? The only thing that I'm not comfortable during rainy season is to get my clothes wet. I just don't like getting my clothes wet for the whole day! When I realized that the rain was still watering the earth yesterday, I noticed that the rain haven't stop.

Today's Wednesday and I'll be having French Listening test at 4pm. I have no idea how this will work because the lecturer speaks too fast. I watched a French movie called The Dinner Game and the stars speak really fast. The words are like combined together and they just say it all at one go. Have I told you that I've 8/10 for the Oral test? Yes, I did. Well, I have to correct my grammar. I didn't know it's really hard.

One question that really puzzles me for this moment is "why the fans of The Beatles don't like McFly?" If anyone of you knows the answer, please tell me. Is it because the guys of this generation don't listen to male singers? Or aren't the British awards that McFly own are not remarkable enough? Or the songs are too cheesy? Or McFly is very boy-ish band for you? Or the name, McFly sounds stupid and you'll get embarrassed for liking the band? Let me get this straight, McFly is a pop/rock, rock band, not a boy band!

*oh no, here goes the rain again*
The Commandments:
1. Thou shall not squeeze too hard
2. Thou shall not ask for a kiss, but take one
3. Thou shall kiss at every opportunity...

*edit*
i'm not saying that boyband is a bad thing, just that McFly is not a boyband but a rock band. sorry to those who actually got offended by my statement :(
