Sweet Infectious Confessions

Happy Easter!

2010-04-04T03:06:00.000+08:00

I absolutely love this year's Holy week. Will get back to telling that little story some other day. I just came back from Easter Vigil and it lasted 3 hours and 15 minutes. The readings were good and the Homily was great and the best part is I understand more about God. Miricles happened on Good Friday! And, I am anticipating more of God's works in my life.

Holy Week is not a symbolization of uniting with family, thinking of Jesus and how He saved us by dying for us and NOT TO MENTION the fact that He resurrected from the dead and became our Saviour for our sins and our Salvation. NO. It is a reminder of what we should be doing throughout the year. I mean, Jesus has already suffered for us and went through hell (literally!). It is not only in Holy week that we should be reminding ourselves about this Sacrifice and Promise and putting all this warm-fuzzy feelings back into our closed up box at the back of our minds after Easter. So for this year, I want to blow the dust of the lid of my box and remember that our Lord has redeemed us and share His love with all. The choice is also now yours. It always have been.

As I'm sitting writting this, I am all smiles cause after finally accepting Him into my life, I've changed for the better. No more depressed, angry feelings. No more "Ugh, I'm all alone" thoughts. And the pain that I have felt, they aren't that bad. As if there was already someone watching over me and protecting me. Why would I have to worry?

And to figure, I just wanted to post up a gretting and warm wishes. Haha, I guess not. But anyways, I want to do as promised and wish all of you...

HAPPY EASTER AND PEACE BE WITH YOU!

Awesome~

Life's been hectic!!!

Well, I am finally free enough to update a bit on what has been happening. In the process of IELTS and school exams plus my music, I managed to squeez in a trip to Harvest Haven with the rest of the JY Core Team .It was uber awesome. The pressence of God is still tingling under my skin and in my heart everytime I pray. The night when we reached home from Ipoh, I prayed for my music exam the next day which I didn't study that much for and when the next day came, I had the calmness and peace of the Lord and everything (nearly) that came out are the only few things that I studied for!!! PRAISE THE LORD! (Will try to blog about harvest haven some other day... I'm tired XD)

Besides that, after my last exam, I had cantor practice and meetings and camps to attend so I haven't really caught up with my sleep. But it feels so good and it's deffinitely worth doing all of these. Now, readers, please pray that I will excell, then I will give glory to God (Not that I'm not already giving). =D

Today was the Primary School Camp for IC (Immaculate Conception) and we (Marcy, Felicia, Winnie, Lyn, Mark, Jude and Aundrey) were on the faccilitating team. I came late cause someone punctured my tyres. (Got slightly screwed by parents for that) but all was well. I still praise the Lord. We have to give thanks in everything we go through right.

Anyways, the funniest things happened today, all the way from college right up to after the camp. One on the top of the list is the fact that I left Clarence in the McD parking lot and I didn't realise till 15 seconds later when Lyn was trying to tell me that I left him behind. I was too absorbed in getting my phone charger out. Lol. And I actually stopped halfway through to ask her what she was saying and she explained that I left Clarence behind. This Mark didn't even say anything. Before that, Clarence tried to get in from the other door, so when I heard the door closed, I automatically assumed that he was already inside the car. MANATAU, he went to enter through the next door. So I drove off thinking that everyone was already in. Sigh. What a day. There were ups and downs and I praise GOD for every single tiny thing. From the fact that my college mates stayed with me throughout the ordeal and that I have friends to laugh with and do all this mad things.

AMEN!!!

Numb-ness

Dear Nanny,

I know you are in a better and glorious place right now where all are right and there are no evil. And I also know that you are finally with our Lord now. Finally reunited with God. I am glad that you are no longer in pain and suffering and get to enjoy the banquet that He would have set for you to welcome you. I am reassured that God will welcome you with open arms and you finally get to see the Almighty alongside the rest that have parted before us.

To your 96 years of life that brought all of us into this world, I thank you. For being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, we thank you. We are not possible without you. I'm grateful as not many can say they knew their great grandmother and that you were healthy all these years. Last of all, I bid you farewell, Nans and I know I don't tell you this enough, but I love you and I am going to miss you. Bask in the radience of the Lord.

Lots of love from all of us.

Damn

2010-03-07T21:00:00.000+08:00

Look, if you have a problem with me, tell it straight to my face. I mean, bloody hell, through all the subliminal messages, I know that something is wrong. I mean, name the whole class, and miss out mine, fine, that's alright. I mean, that's your life. But I would really appreciate it if you told me straight up front that you didn't like me. I'm just saying.

Exams

2010-03-05T13:56:00.000+08:00

Exams exams and more exams. The stress of it all doesn't seem to end. I mean, right after midterm, is presentations, then assignements, then more tests and finally exams. All in the course of seven weeks. IT AIN'T ENOUGH!!! And this semester, I also have to sit for IELTS two days before Chemistry and Design finals and next week is my Music Theory EXAM!! Oh my GOD, there are loads of things to handle and I'm afraid that I might not do so well. But through God everything is possible. God first, right?

Yeah, I banned myself from going to Shalom for this week and next weekend I'll be in Gopeng. Haih... What a day. I can't even understand half the questions for the writing and reading part of IELTS. It is english and I can't seem to answer the questions. I feel so degraded right now. Anyways, of to practice more IELTS. Just needed to vent.

First Time

2010-02-21T23:15:00.000+08:00

Well, today was the very first time I gave blood! Woo-hoo! And the thing about feeling dizzy and that it hurts, well it did not happen to me! Praise the Lord. Hopefully with this, I get to save lives. I know it is not much but hey, I'm proud of myself for doing it. And today was a double bonus as I finally know that I am B+. Haha.

Anyways, besides that, I am at least the 4th rarest blood type. I feel so special right now. =D This LENT I want to help more in the community, see what can be done to make a difference. Quite a big task for me but bring it on! Heh. That's all for now. Assignments here I come again! PREPARE FOR DOOM!!!

Wishes and Dreams

2010-02-13T17:44:00.000+08:00

Well, since tomorrow IS Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day. I wish you readers out there a happy prosperous loving day! Uhrm, yeah, that sounds about right. All you married people out there, please remember to give me an angpow k? =D Haha. Enjoy, guys!

Thoughts...

2010-02-12T16:31:00.000+08:00

I really should make my blog creative. Bu then again, simplicity is at its best, ain't it? And it makes like so much easier... But then, it can be boring. But I think my blog is cool. Don't you? Ah, don't answer that, cause I already know the answer. OF COURSE YOU DO!!! =D

I woke up with my flu being even worse than before, I'm coughing out phlegm and it is all stuck in my throat. The unimmaginable tightness it there all the time and I currently lost my voice. Plus, sore throat. And guess what, Chinese New Year is around the corner and all I want to do is sleep. Haih. Life is life, isn't it? I think the heat is fighting with my body and resulted in a large collision - BOOOMMM! Ah, well.. just another sick day.

Besides that, I am really worried for my oldest dog, Princess. Her tail which used to be fluffy and full is now shedding and frail. I literally can see her skin. Before that, I couldn't even touch her skin on the tail cause there was just so much hair. Haih, I'm really worried for her. She is old but I really don't want her to fall sick so soon. I love her a lot. As for Angel, well, she is just being herself, running here and there, not giving a care in the world and genuinely happy to see me. I love her loads too... =) My dogs are one of the best things in my life. When no one is around and I hang out with them, they know my emotions and feel accordingly. They are my babies and I~~'m dreading the day they will be no more.~~

It's this time of night...

2010-02-12T03:42:00.000+08:00

It is times like this which I know I will regret in the morning,
It is when my mind starts to wander off, thinking about what if
It is when I go into overdrive and insomnia hits me with a loud THUMP
It is when my real emotions come out
It is when I start regretting and living in the past again
It is when I ask myself, why is it that everyone else can have a good life, but not me...

Whatever happened to the good friends I had?
What happened to the love and acceptance I felt last time?
Why is it that nothing good ever last?
Why is this life filled with more pain than joy?
More hate than love?
More regrets than good memories?

It is this time of the night,
When I think I'm all alone in this world
It is this time of the night,
When I think that no one cares
That I am not special enough for anyone to appreciate
That if anything were to happen to me, no one would notice...

And when I want to give it all up and wallow in sorrow
I hear a voice in my head and It is saying, 'It's not that bad',
Urging me to smile, cheering me on,
asking me not to give up and fall
Telling me not to be afraid,
Reminding me that there is always people that will love me for who I am...

It is this time of the night,
When I know that God is with me...
Reminding me that with Him there's love.
That with Him, I know that life would be just fine
It is this time of the night,
When I end the day with a smile,
knowing that I have achieve something in life,
enough to be blessed to feel God's love

Ending your day with a smile just makes all the day's trials worthwhile and less tedious.

I love you guys for being there for me, for caring for me, for accepting me for what and who I am, without complaining and shunning me, for loving me. Thanks a lot for making me who I am today and I'm proud to say that even though life is not always a bed of roses, I can end my day with a smile BECAUSE OF YOU...

Sharon & Aaron's Wedding

2010-02-10T15:20:00.001+08:00

It was an awesome event. It started off with the church service and it was beautiful. The both of them were glowing with radience and beauty! There are no words that can explain the whole day cause it is too hard to describe the joy and hapiness through words.

Adeline had a solo for Bapa yang Kekal and it was great. Besides that, the ceremony was fitting and the song selection was excellent. Pretty much, I really don't know how to blog about this but I can show nearly all the pictures. Heh. I think I am still in lazy mode. =P

The dinner was great, not the typical chinese food in weddings (which I despise), but mamak food. NASI KANDAR! It was one of the best weddings I've been to. But then again, this is my very first wedding invatation to a friend's wedding. How awesome. Was sitting in the same table as Ian, David, Ken, my sis and others. Including Pat dear and Ben, Carmel and Cassie and Oliver. We were sitting at the back but the table next to us were all youths. Therefore, we had a good time cheering A&S on! I can safely say that we were the noisiet bunch there is! HAH! Beat that. Later on in the night, the dance floor was open and the first dance we danced to was a waltz. You can imagine the surprise in the adult's faces. As if saying, "Where on earth did they learn to do that?". We danced to the likes of chacha, salsa and indian music. So it was so fun and by the night came to a close, our feet were aching, bodies tired, hearts filled with joy and faces showing our hapiness. Thanks, Aaron and Sharon for the invite and the awesome fun we had! Some pics...

Congratulations to the both of you. May your years filled with God's blessing and remember the three part harmony. The both of you indeed make a GREAT couple and may the love be with you throughout your life.

Empty Promises

2010-02-05T15:23:00.000+08:00

Even if I tell you that things are alright, I would be lying, majorly. Of course things aren't the same. You've change to become what you are today, and I've changed and followed my own path. I am ready to give all to God, follow His ways and feel His love, but are you? It is up to you on how you decide to live your life. And I can tell you first hand (no sugar-coating) that you are different now then you were before. And I think I was more comfortable with the previous you. Yes, all the late night chats are missed dearly but you have your own life now. I don't think that your life can include the likes of me.

Yes, I know that I've promised to try to salvage what is left with this broken friendship but I can't. It is too hard and the demands are too high for me right now. You like things this way, but I like things that way. Your feelings are like that, mine are the complete opposite. And what really hurt is that, even if you said you've tried, it wasn't enough. There wasn't any messages till you come running when there is trouble. Besides being there for you, when I needed you, you weren't there. Others were. And honestly, that just made me lose confidence in you. Since you already posted your views, this is mine. I think people aren't dumb enough to not know that this is between you and me. But since it is already like that, it is irreversable.

Whatever I've said about you before, was done in anger and disappointment and they got the best of me. When they say that the worst enemy is the mouth, I can safely agree. That happened when I was shocked into seeing that you've changed since school. And I guess I wasn't ready to face that. I don't think I still am ready to face.

It is never that simple. But it is not hard for I don't have to be in your shoes to figure out. You made your decision long ago and everytime I asked, you weren't there. Everytime I called you, you didn't pick up. When I was in need, you couldn't be found. This is how I feel, felt and still feeling. And so, I assumed that you already chose. The choice is not hard, actually. Love before friends. I am not upset that you chose him, more upset by the fact that you only came to me, to talk to me when you and him were on the rocks. I felt used. Like that's all I am to you. When there is hapiness in your life, you don't even contact me. But when you are in trouble, you come back. I was willing to tolerate the first few times, but it got so taxing. And it was me that use to start conversation, call you and talk to you. You never once took the iniative to call me, and I had to call you everytime. When you were hurt, I called. But what about the times when I was hurt? I really HATE it when I am the one that looks like she is supposed to call first. EVERYTIME. Tell me honestly, how often did you call me just to chat compared to the ratio of me calling you for the exact same reason.

I still love you, way deep down in my heart. People, my friends, are wondering why I still hold on to this friendship. I am starting to wonder too. I mean, it might look like you are the only one doing all the work, but I feel it too. And I gave up. I can tell you that since December, I gave up on this friendship. I gave up in waiting in hope that you might just come and say hi. I gave up waiting for things to change. But I realised that I have changed. I know when things can last, and things won't. I'm tired of persueing them, whether love, life or friendship. If I know I have not a single chance, I forget about it. You can sum it up from here. And you not being in church does not help. How is it that I only see you when he is back, but otheriwise, you disappear?

It's up to you to move from here. Like you said, I'm only a phonecall away. Your call, your life. I know that it is probably the worst time to post this blog. But I have to reply and no way I'm doing it through sms.

If this is the last time we talk, I'm sorry things work out this way. But we did have a good run of our friendship. I still keep your letters and I do read them once in a while. But if it is not meant to be, what can we do about it.

HEY-Ho

2010-02-02T15:26:00.002+08:00

Ok, many appologies for my abscence in the blog industry. As you can see, life's a bit hectic (but in truth, I am too lazy to update, but let's go with the professional answer, kay?) Ah well. Since the month of January has passed, well loads of activities have passed too. Let me think of a few from the top of my head.

The Oyog's new year celebration - 1.1.2010
Babe's surprise birthday dinner - 8.1.2010 (No pictures were taken by me, no evidence.)
Sharon and Aaron's Wedding! - 9.1.2010 (Will update about that soon)
Li Ann's birthday lunch - 12.1.2010 (Blog post will come in time)
Orientation Day in SEGi for the newbies - 18.1.2010 (We - Owen, Do, Alvin, Eli and me, just formed an acapella group and I must say that it is quite cool. Our very first appearance was then)
Competition in KL - 22.1.2010 (We won first placing in Best Student Performance Prize)
Leadership Camp Fund raising Car Wash in church - 30-31.1.2010 (It was awesome and deserves another blog post when I'm free.)

That is pretty much everything that happened during the month of January. Things are gearing up for a good year. All this I thank God for.

Besides that, I thank all the people that have touched my life. My parents that supported me all these years and my sis for being here to help me. For my friends, thanks for the awesomeness that are you guys. Happy New Year!

SEGi Revo Christmas Party

2009-12-31T18:11:00.000+08:00

Well, on the 15th of December, SEGi Revo in association with Penang REVO Team had a Christmas party. Well, after that we also had an ADP meeting with the UIU Delegates. That will come on later in the post.

The prep started at least one month before. The dance, carolling and food were plan ahead. The deco was done the day before when everyone took time off to decorate the whole hall. All the pictures can be found on facebook. Somewhere. =) Anyways, the day started off with some Ice Breakers from Brother Pragash and his team. Next was the Carolling and follow with the dance. The dancers danced to We Are the Reason. It was very good. I promise to upload the silent video (my camera has no audio input =( ). But you guys can sing to it in your heads. HAHA! Anyways, after that was more ice breakers followed by song songs played by POHD. (I think that's their name)

The band

Prems and me

Lastly, was a clip from a movie telling on the ultimate sacrifice a father has to make the crucial desicion between avoiding a train crash involving thousands or sacrificing his only son who was caught between the gate opening. The father chose the passengers. It also reflects on how God did the same for us mortals and sacrifices His son Jesus. It was a terrible desicion to make but He did it. He did it to save us. Early on today, I saw the billboard near IC Church saying BELIEVE - John 3.16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that everyone will not perish but would have eternal life.

***NEXT***

ADP meeting was very cool. The guys that came all the way from US were very fun to be with. They first asked us to introduce ourselves by stating our name, where we stay and who we would like to see (dead or alive). Well, I said I would like to see my Grandma. I miss her so much. Even though I was the only grandchild to see her alive, I was too young to get to know her. And I miss her. I heard of stories that she is very loving and passionate about life.

Ah well, next was the Beach Party. It was fairly, ummm... ok-lah. There was games, talking and uhrmmmm, burnt sandy food. =P It ended pretty late, around 11 and Prems and me went to McD for some real food. Just as we sat down, her dad said that he arrived. Ah but alas, fate would not have it. Some pics from that night.

Yvonne and me

Hsin and me

When I arrived home, Miss Rachel Ng brought me my birthday gift. I named her Tiny Kaylin. Yes, she is a dog. But my parents had a fit and she just left for a better home today. was very sad to find her missing in action when I called her name just now in the morning. But well, that's life. Win some lose some. Love some, get hurt. =(

I'll miss you, Baby-K

The year is ending once again - Recap of December

2009-12-31T16:51:00.000+08:00

Hey guys. It is the 31st of December again. Damn, life is in a hurry. How fast can things move. Let's see... I still haven't updated my old post. Before anyone can say that I am one year behind on my posts, I shall slowly and pain stakingly update the month of December. Embrace yourselves, it is going to be a long post.

First of all, the CEC End Year Camp. It was fun. 3 days and an overnighter during the beginning of the school holidays (Too bad classes for college were still on.) The first day included everything from no toothpaste on friends' arm and taking videos of others snoring (ground rules). It started off with Andre's session - Chosen. I think it had something to do with Chicken Eagle and Charcoal to Diamond. Next was break and the next session. Basically, the whole camp is about reaching out to others and not being so darn selfish.

To talk about the whole camp in detail is plain impossible. So let me run through the highlights when I was not doing the disappearing act (balancing college and church all at the same time). Let me see, first was the Kampung Manis gotong royong that everyone did. It was so awesome. We spent two hours just picking up loads of rubbish. Click here to see the results!

Besides that, there were group activities, talks from various outreach ministry and of course, games. And yes, they also involve loads of water. It was quite fun, though I definately never intended to get wet. But I did. Ah well...

NEXT, exposure. Down from 85 poeple to 40 people. Five days of work in homes (old folks, children's, nursing homes and even the recycling center) Woah! So much work, so little time. Before you know it, It is 4.30 and you have to go home. Everyone got pretty attached to the people there and I think that some of the youths actually went back to visit them. Good job guys. The schedule was 10.00 till 4.30. Then back to church for debriefing. Honestly, the month of December flew by pretty fast.

Third week of the adventure... MUSICAL PRACTICE! It was fun. Only 36 people could commit. Two weeks of practice. For presentation. Technically, the youth spent about 14 hours practicing. The rest of the time was gotong-royonging, dance lessons and of course, sessions and PAW. It was awesome. God was really present throughout the whole experience man. No way the power of man can handle a supposedly three month practice squashed into 15 hours. The youth are awesome. Props to them. The musical I think would be sold in church later on. News on that later. Guess what, for the musical, I was SMG (Smoke Machine Girl). HA! It was so cool. It was as if the actors were farting on stage. A LOT! Especially Ryan in Heaven. Woosh, stinky! ^^ Pictures can be found here. Here are some pictures that I like from the musical itself.

Thoughts of the Day

2009-12-07T01:31:00.000+08:00

Hmmm, I think... I think... I think...
Can I ask you one question?

I know you don't read my blog and all. But are we losing contact or something? How come I have this dreaded feeling as though I am being replaced. If I continue ranting like this, it will become bitchy. So, I shall stop here.

But I can't. Cause it has been on my mind since Friday. How come I am suddenly so out of touch with all of this. And yeah, I didn't get the attention I use to get. Damn, Adele, pull yourself together. Stop acting like this. (Yes, I am scolding myself.)

I missed the times when others weren't that connected yet. Guess that's over. BUT, Life goes on right? Yeah, whatever. I shouldn't be feeling anything at all in particular anyways. I dunno what to say now. So much for thought of the day. Night, world!

Regrets in the morning

2009-12-07T01:09:00.000+08:00

It is 1am. I know I am gonna regret this tomorrow morning when I head for church. But I am not tired, for some strange reason. But I can't study anymore cause my brain is at it's limit.

How am I supposed to balance studying for exams and practice without jeopardizing both. And if I don't score, mom's gonna ban me from church activities, which is worse. DILEMMA!

It's late

2009-12-03T01:58:00.000+08:00

Oh Lord of Heaven Almighty, please help me. It is officially 2a.m. and I'm exhausted. Another two more subtopics to go. Plus, I have exposure in the morning where we will be doing work, work and WORK! AH! Give me the strength to carry on this whole week as well as study for my exams as well as making to musical practice. Wow, my plate is full. Not to mention college classes and music class. Hmmm...

Funny Day

2009-12-02T22:31:00.000+08:00

It started off with last night. I was on the phone with Prema and while talking to her, i was counting my medicine. And I realised that I have to take 7 types of medicine. The joy. So, I was fumbling with my nose spray and the cover fell. And this was what I said to Prem

Oh my gosh, my nose. (Literally, I stopped my sentence at the word nose.)

A bit blur after that.

Today, started off with music class. I found out that my teacher uses hairspray to keep her hair from falling into her eyes. So we started saying that it hurts the enviroment. Something about save the whales. And it ended with the statement, one of the students was a whale. And he heard from the piano room. haha. Next was CF at college. Well, as usual chit chat, kutuk people and all. They had a birthday cake for all December's babies Cool. Three quater CHEESE CREAM, i think, then a 2cm layer of cake below. HA! Well, I took two pieces, force fed by Joanne! The cream on my fingers were cleaned by Neil's face. Thanks!

After that, was psychology. Nothing eventful there though, so I'll skip to carolling at Paradise. Of all people to meet there, I saw NEIL, AGAIN! Haih, the horror. We were talking and the funniest thing was that my family members, everytime they approached where I was sitting, they asked why I'm not eating. So by the fifth or so, I told Neil that the next relative would ask the same question. GUESS WHAT! They did! Haha, coolness.

Well, off to carolling at the damn hot foyer. Before that, this funny conversation happened.

Noel (Neil's bro) : Eh, I wanna go to the tennis court
Neil : Why? Don't have basketball also

You can imagine my confusion. Apparently there was a ring for them to shoot in. Ah well. Anyways, off to do my dreaded assignment. ISH! Night guys!

*Due to the stupidness of the photo uploader, no pictures today. AWW!*

Devastation

Lee Ryan is getting married =( TO A FAN! Si Bodoh itu punya budak! Plus he has a kid. I mean, when i first saw it on YouTube, the only thing running through my mind is WHAT THE HELL! Lee Ryan, ah! Damn, my teen years listening to him, the love and all just disappeared. And he fell in love cause she was hot. Not that I think so anyways, but who am I to judge. I don't see him falling for an Asian anytime soon.

Just a picture of the hottest guy around with an awesome, to die for voice

Ah well, all hope is not lost, I guess. I have real life to focus on. No time for some news like that. Your lost, Lee! Haha, in other news... *winks*

My life just got interesting again. Let's see how this crush turns out to be. Stupid emotions and falling for stupid boys. BOYS. ish. What's wrong with me? Haha. Not that I'm crazy to the point where I am swept off my feet whenever he is around or my hearts starts beating really fast. All that hasn't happened for awhile. But anyways, it's good to remind myself that this is the last of my concerns. I have family, college, church and ministry to worry about. There is always time.

Prom Night - Royal Masquerade in Paris

2009-11-25T22:36:00.000+08:00

First of all, I would like to announce that I got first runner up for SEGi Idol. A little bit of cheers will do! ^^ I sang "When You Believe" by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. I know, i know. It's a big feat. But I think I did it justice. But it wasn't enough. Ah well, at least I looked good. (",)

It started of with rehersals in the morning. Usual thing. Started off late, have a bit of fun with the pole Ning brought, styling Neil's hair with Elizabeth, and mostly just talking to the rest. The outcome of our 'experiment' is this. (*Neil, because of us, you looked hot. HA!)

Anyways, rehersal carried on as usual - with addition of an impromtu script by Prema and me. And obviously, the results were total chaos. Miss Sharon was practically glaring at us. Oh my, if looks could kill... The rest went on smoothly without much hiccups - BUT there was an uncessary amount of smoke being let out every few minutes. It looks as if the performers were farting on stage. LOL!

Ah well, before the night, I got my hair sponsered by SEGi Idol - Evolution Hair Studio at Pragin. They actually curled my hair!

Along with the contacts, make-up and high heels, I've completely broken my personal rules. I'll never be caught dead with curly hair, contacts and high heels... plus, a long dress. Only for that night. It was worth it.

At 6, I arrived, handing the a mask to Von as she forgot hers. AIYAH! Lol, just joking. Then, I ran into Neil and he 'escorted' me to the dressing room. Teased him a bit just for kicks and walk back out. Michelle looked awesome as usual with her boyfriend. Yvonne looked HOT, and everyone else looked just near amazing. We dilly-dallied outside till 7.30 ish before they allowed us to enter the ballroom.

Anyways, it started with the five pairs of dancers waltzing in, in order to escort the VIPs. Then, Neil and his co-emcee went up to talk a for while. After that, Jim and Mr J.Goh went up to give the speech of the year. There were few performances from Danzity, A french duet (They were FUN!!) and Mr J.Goh very own daughter, Crystal (Her voice is awesome).

The most unfortunate thing about it was that the RM70 ticket gone to waste cause I didn't even get to sit at my table for more than 15 minutes before having to leave to escort, perform, sing, act, ... the list goes on and on. Carina did save us food but by the time we came back, GOD! The food was freezing and coagulating. Quite gross actually. Overall, it was a eventful night, getting to know each other's personality more, falling in love, night of glamour and all that junk. Haha, just kidding. It was eventful, not in the love department though.

Let's see when did I get up on stage. First was to escort Owen (looking very dashing) for his Idol performance. Well done, man. Next, was for the Ed Board launching of the notebook and bookmarks. Hmmm, then it was my performance (Damn nervous, by the way - ask anyone backstage). It was a pity no one recorded it. I really wanna know how it sounds like. Then it was Elizabeth's Prom Queen performance (no comment) and lastly, DMDS. It was a blast and I really felt like a star. Just pure bliss.

The night ended with dancing and loads of picture taking. Therefore, if anyone is interested, you can go to my facebook page to look at the pictures as my computer is damn lame and stupid - loading photos takes ages, by the way (Owen, there's your answer).

I went off at 12a.m. to join the shalom gang at McD's. The shock was seen in most of their faces when I walked in, completely with hair and make up. Haha, I must have looked funny. The night ended just right as I went to sleep and prepared for hiking and praise and worship leading the next day.

P.S.

Congrats to Ning, Michelle, and Aanand - though you did not win, you were still the best in line

Congrats to Yvonne, Prema, Carmel and Fatin - you gals were awesome on stage (carmel, thanks for all the background work)

Congrats to Owen - damn nice song you sang. Glad that I was you escort

Congrats to Neil - you were one heck of an emcee

Congrats to the winners of Prom King, SEGi Idol and Queen

Thank you, student council for a well put together show

That, my friends is SEGi Prom Night 2009! Never will its memory be replaced by anything else. =)

Sorry Guys

2009-11-18T14:54:00.000+08:00

Ha, PROM is in 2 days! Leaning psychology now. Goodness. Plus, I still have to upload the pictures. Prehaps after this hectic week. Maybe not. I shall do what I want! Haha.

Ok ok, sorry for the very 'terencat' messages. My mind is quite full right now. Omg, I will upload loads of things as fast as I can. Some of the wacky pictures to come...

"Assignment time"
Dress Hunting - NING
One or two pictures from parish assembly
Just plain funny pictures of my college mates!
Dress fitting (in the end not carried out - cause of the RM100 dry cleaning, a joke right?)

I would like to shout out to Carina. Sorry about your car, man. It was terrible. Will upload it to my facebook soon. Check it out!

Funny

2009-10-27T14:12:00.001+08:00

So, out of boredom yesterday night, I started braiding my sister's hair while watching all sorts of shows on STAR. This was the outcome.

Apparently, I braided till my finger bled. Sounds quite funny. Who knew braiding was such a dangerous hobby.

Well, it took about 25 minutes to finish her whole head and well, this happened. (Due to my sister's anger if she were ever to find out that I posted a picture of her, I decided to show you guys the back of it! lol)

Sweet, Short and Simple

There was more, but this touched me. ^^

What is Malaysia coming to?

2009-10-22T21:46:00.000+08:00

I just about this recently. I mean, why ban horror movies! banning makes everything worse doesn't it? It will cause people to by pirated DVD's and the whole cycle begins again. Look, I just have one statement, if you don't like horror movies, THEN DON'T WATCH IT. It is not that hard to do. I mean, yeah, I'm a fan of horror movies, but if you're not, then why block it from everyone else.

It does not do anything but give thrill to those that seeks a more interesting lifestyle. It is not like we are going to immitate the gruesomeness that is horror. I agree with one of the letters sent in by the readers - Why stop creative juices from flowing? Horror movies aren't easy to pull off as sappy love movies (not that I have anything against it). It needs animation, special effects and bla bla bla. Shouldn't Malaysia be moving forward instead of back?

Plus, banning condoms. God, please tell me what is wrong with them. Dah-lah they have pre-marital sex, no cannot be protected = disaster. Why? More unwanted pregnancy + abortion = DEATH, more STD's + no protection = MORE STD!

TSK TSK, what is this going to end up in?

Revived (Linggi Camp '09)

2009-10-20T20:19:00.000+08:00

Well, anyways, I haven't been updating in ages about anything so I shall start from March. LINGGI CAMP! We went to Malacca for a team building camp for 3 days 2 nights. It was AWESOME!

It started off with an eventful bus trip down where everyone had to introduce themselves (Student Council's Idea... ISH) and tell a few details. So when it came to my turn, I told them I love to sing and play music - leading to them persuading me to sing. And I did! haha. After that, everyone asked me to join Idol (Which I also did). COOL-NESS. Here are some pictures of the bus -.-

On the way to the camp

The ADP-ians

Coming back from Jonker Street

After we finally reached the super hot camp, we unpacked our stuff and had lunch while getting brief by the teachers in charge. Plus, we got into out groups. Mine was called the "Rising Sun". Pretty lame. But anyways, after lunch, we went to get changed and started ROCK CLIMBING! some other activities included jumping and blancing of 30 feet poles only supported by two people. Crazy

Our groups raced to see who had the most points and all. Besides that, we also had "An Amazing Hunt" or something like that where we had to do loads of mini activities. But mainly, we got to get to know one another. For instance, Yee Chian has Y-syndrom (Discovered to spread int he middle of the night while playing cards) and some got a little too close for comfort, right boys?

Aanand and Jim - doing the unknown (kids do not follow)

Aihsin and Pikying

Two guys copying the same style

Playing cards at night - 2am

Wern and me - Glasses rule!

At 3am in the cold tent

ADP-ians RULE!

The Rising Sun - 2nd place

At Ikano with one new found friend

We came back with our hearts contented and exhauted as I prepared to hype myself up for the CEC Camp the next day! Haha!

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Thoughts of the Day

2009-10-20T18:41:00.000+08:00

So I was thinking, what happens if I ever were to give up religion? Would I be free from the troubles and issues I'm facing and everything would be alright again? Will the issues cease to exist once I give up? Will the giants just DISAPPEAR?? Then I realise that ever since I'm delving deeper into my faith in God, the trouble starts coming, hitting left, right, center, back and everywhere else imaginable. I mean, can't Satan take a break and hurt others? If I give in, wouldn't everything be easier?

Then I realised, even though I fail and fall so much, God's love is never ending. I mean, I hate me for causing so many mistakes in my life but GOD STILL LOVES ME! For that, I think I'm going to strive onward with my heart filled with faith and love for God. All these occur to me when I listened to the song, "The Voice of Truth". And the chorus really touches me

But the Voice of Truth tells a different story,
The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for MY glory"
And out of all the voices calling out to me,
I will choose to listen and believe
The Voice of Truth

With God, all things are possible
Matthew 19:26

I gotta a feeling~

2009-10-19T21:54:00.000+08:00

Yo!

2009-10-19T14:30:00.000+08:00

Aloha again! Parents are out to ROME! Argh, i envy them. Anyways, praying for their safety this 2 weeks. Besides that, MORAL EXAMS tomorrow. (Double Argh) So let me see what has happened throughout the abscence.

Well, I watched a movie called "Facing the Giants" a while back and I really liked the soundtrack. David lent me the CD and there was a track that really touched me. It is called the Voice of Truth by CASTING CROWNS. Please go have a listen to it.

Besides that, Ian is back. WELCOME HOME! He will be here till Feb. It was nice catching up with him again.

I've been really busy with college, church and music class that I had no time to get anything personal done. But life is awesome. So is GOD.

I've been having some problems with studies in my previous sem. If you've seen my good friend, Yih Ning's blog, we have a huge problem with MATHS! Argh! Well, I am very close to failing but I had help from David (He is DAMN PRO!) and well, sat for my finals. Guess what! I could answer very damned question. Praise the lord man!

Well, I promised pictures will be uploaded but I just simply do not have the will to upload it. Please endure with my laziness! XD

Had loads of fun hanging out with the gang once again (Read previous blogs to figure them out). Finally, the whole group got together to hang out before everyone left for another round of studies (minus the ones stuck in Penang - we already have to suffer here).

And lastly, I wanna give a shout out to a certain guy. I don't know if you still read my blog or not, but if you do, I wanna say that I am very sorry for acting like a b****. Please forgive me. Just went through a moody moment in life. Hope that there isn't anymore issue between us.

Well, I guess I better get going and try to cram whatever nonsense that is moral into my head and try to score for this exam. Sad man.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Hello!

2009-09-30T16:04:00.000+08:00

Hey!!! Missed me? Bet ya have. haha. It has been super busy and I've been super lazy to blog. So sorry for MIA! Let's see what has happened

I'm Top 3 for SEGi Idol! (Amazing)
I was Top 3 for Prom Queen (But I chose Idol... awww)
I have my finals coming up and I'm here blogging
I hate college algebra (hopefully, I won't fail)
I just finished my assignments!

Besides that, nothing really interesting in life. I shall upload the videos for Prom King/Queen/Idol next time.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Hello EVERYONE!

2009-05-27T18:31:00.000+08:00

Well, finals are over (Hip hip Hurray!) and camps are coming up (SEGi Malacca Camp and CEC Camp). Can't wait for both. One after the other. Gonna be fun. Anyways, what has been going on?

Gregsson's farewell BBQ (We'll miss you man)
Grandma's Birthday Lunch (Took her out to The Ship - oohh, expensive)
Gonna play for BEC Mass tomorrow with Ken

The best that can be blogged about was the day after finals. After Bio, we all left to eat lunch at New World Park. Later, we decided to go bowling. Can't you believe that it is only RM3.50 for everything? (The wonders of student card). Not only that, we ended at 2 and decided to go watch Night at the Museum 2. It was FUNNY! My iPhone isn't working so I did not have any pictures to show for it. I hope that it will be fixed before the camps so I can upload pictures for all! (Or just steal from the others.)

The second thing is... (dramatic music) I GAVE MY VERY FIRST SESSION! It was scary yet a good experience. It was a team thing so Ben Han did half of it. The session was about the Holy Spirit, what He is and His fruit. The rest of the JY Gathering when on as usual. Ice Breakers, Session and ends with Praise and Worship. Overall, for a one week preparation thing, we did quite well (including the fact that it was exam week)

Besides that, I guess I have to jog my memory a bit before I can write about more of it, details and all the other stuff. See you soon.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

The will has died

Hey fellow bloggers. I am here announcing that I am taking a break from blogging. After everything has died down a bit. Finals and all. So I'll update you soon. Cheers!

What's wrong with the world?

2009-04-29T16:44:00.000+08:00

Today we were supposed to do our BIO journal. So, I had to take Pik Ying to Hsin house. Before that, Hsin asked us to buy satay for her, so as we turned to the crossroad, I went, "Oh shit..." The whole place was filled with cars. I mean, all turning into the same place. I couldn't even cross over. So when they stopped moving for a while, I squeezeed my way through on my bike. As I was moving forward, the car in front of me moved. Guess what? The bloody car behind went forward, banging me down in process.

I mean, come on. How blind can you be? I was in front, and within a few seconds I would have moved anyways. Can't you just wait for a moment or two? It is not like you had a dying patient in the car, rushing her to the hospital.

I thank God though. Ying wasn't hurt that bad. Just a few scratches on her hand. After that, I realised that I never prayed before leaving the house on my bike, thinking that I was pro enough to ride the bike without God's guidance. My bad on that part.

No love today,
Adele Emily

WAHOOO~

2009-04-13T00:58:00.000+08:00

Haha, anyone that is good in this type of stuff, please teach me. I should actually create a new blog just for college. Guys, I will upload my notes so that you all can take it (not sure where - HTB page or my blog) when I have completed it.

We had an outing in New World Park for lunch before class started on Friday (Good Friday, therefore, FASTING... while they eat mouth watering food =P) at 12. So anyways, we got there courtesy of Lee Aihsin and her car. Inside was her boyfriend, Owen, Pikying and me. Once again, this is a post where pictures tell more than words (la di da, you know the drill)

Wei, enough ah, later I'll cucuk you! (to Owen)

Gossip gossip gossip... Haih... From the left, Yee Chian and Stefenie

Smile, Wern!

Chai Li and Yee Chian : Competition between the length of the mee.

Totally candid moment!

Owen, lost in thought

Total funny yet disturbing moment

Lots of love,

Sadness has overcome me...

2009-04-13T00:34:00.000+08:00

Why? Cause I just missed David Archuleta's concert in Sunway Lagoon Ampliteather. That sucks.

Apparently, Daniel Lee was also the opening act. You know the worst part? I actually won tickets and I couldn't drive down to KL on Wednesday to pick it up. How stupid and inconsiderate DiGi is to send tickets and make them collect it from a different state on a WEEKDAY! That's sucks. I was reading the article just now and I felt my heart literally tear. The 6000 fans were able to see him and I was not there. But then again, it was replaced for my joy of singing the responserial psalm for Easter Vigil. So all is not lost...

Lots of love (to David Archuleta too!),
Adele Emily

Friendship Renewed (again)

2009-04-12T22:43:00.000+08:00

OK, this is the plan from now on.

Everytime where you want to 'merajuk' and break friendship, I'll let you. But with that, you will be allowing me to post on my blog everytime you want to renew the friendship. The title for this particular post is "Friendship Renewed -followed by whatever time it was that you did that) Honestly, I am not doing this to hurt you or anything, but you have got to kill that habit of yours. Mainly cause it is not nice. Especially to me. If you want to merajuk and all, I'll allow that, but breaking up friendships is so not worth it. What if this time, I really take it to heart and won't allow anymore communication with you? What will happen then? Cause I don't wanna lose you as a friend.

I won't include your name. I won't include your details. For all you know, you might be a college mate or something. Privacy is certain. I just want you to know that I care about you and I really don't know any other way to overcome this ever irritating process.

Lots of love (especially to you),
Adele Emily

Holy Week

2009-04-12T21:37:00.001+08:00

My recent post was deleted because apparently, the issue have been settled. So, I guess, all's fair in love and war. It finally hit me, when I am angry of furious, my command of English improves. Maybe I should start feeling mad more often when doing English assignments. Anyways, I would have kept the post but since she didn't want it to resurface anymore, I erased it from all existance... (comments included)

Anyways, what has happened recently was

Maunde (or is it y) Thursday
Good Friday
Holy Saturday (a.k.a. Easter Vigil)
Easter Sunday (the day where I overslept and couldn't make it to church. LOL)

For Maunde Thursday, we went to church and mass was usual. Finally after Thanksgiving, the Blessed Sacrament was moved to the hall for adoration. The Hall will be opened till 12am. For

Good Friday, it is the day where Jesus died for us on the cross. My all time favourite verse is John 3:16-17. For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will have eternal life. For God did not send His son into the world to be its judge, but to be its saviour.

For Easter Vigil, we had four readings. Three from the old testament and one from the new. The first one was from the book of Genesis. How God first created the world. (How within six days, He managed to 'gao tim' everything when I can't even finish my Bio assignment. Two words for Him, Ho LIAO!) the next reading was about Moses. (My concentration was slipping already as my nerves started to act up.) And I know that the third reading was something to do with the book of Isiah but I didn't even pay attention. One reason. I was supposed to sing the responserial psalm for that reading. There were so many people in church. But all is well. Sure, my voice did waiver. But then, even Uncle John said that my voice was crisp. (Claps hands and feels proud while grinning like an idiot) Andre recorded the thing, so I will want to have a copy of it. I feel very proud of it. Cool lah. The rest of the mass was nearly the same, minus the litany of the saints, baptism and confirmation of RCIA candidates and singing of mass rights. By the way, congratulations to Dylan TITUS Yeoh and Jack Ong. Welcome to the catholic church! For the final hymn, we sang three songs (Jesus Christ is Risen Today, God Lives in Me and Celebrate Jesus Celebrate) AWESOME!

Today, we had lunch at Little Cottage with the family for Easter. After that, we went to Island Plaza for the book fair where we bought RM500 worth of books. Can you believe that? I think all together there were about 40 books bought. Loads of reading to do. Came home all exhausted and took a cat nap for bout one hour before going out for dinner.

For something not related to the Holy Week, yesterday Edelyn and me went ronda-ing till USM on my bike. The furthest I've ever been. I felt so free. Got to catch up with her life and vice versa. We talked alot but no pictures were taken. Sad. Any other eventful news? Ummm... mostly preparation for Holy Week.

OH YEAH! I am starting driving lessons tomorrow. One more step into becoming a young adult and a menance on the road! Haha. (ok, it is a bit pathetic to laugh at your own joke) Can't wait to drive...

Happy Easter!

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Magical Night
By Adele Emily

Silently, they sneaked away from the party, from the noise. Slowly they climbed up the small hill where they watched the party from a far. It was not enjoyable for the both of them. So they decided to talk, against the circumstances. They used to date for a while but it didn’t work out. There was miscommunication and things just fell apart.

“Why did we split in the first place?” Angel had asked. Tonight, they both had a wonderful time in each other company and mainly kept to themselves. It was exactly like old times. Except for the fact that Alex had a new girl in his life. No longer did they feel the uncomfortable silence when they first broke up. “We just didn’t get along well as a couple.” Alex muttered softly, “But we are still best friends.” A gust of cold wind in the summer night caused Angel to shiver slightly. He caught hold of her hands and held it tightly. Immediately, she felt slight tingles running through her body as they finally had physical contact after so long. But friends don’t do that... She thought as she gazed at his handsome profile when he looked down at the party.

It was an extremely quiet except for the soft music playing in the background from the party. Being interested in music, she called at him and asked him to listen. She held out her hands and slowly grasped his. At first, he was reluctant to hold on to her but as the song progressed into the chorus, he held her tight. The lyrics of the song were beautiful. My life is in your hands; my heart is in your keeping... She had longed for him to realise that she still loved him. That she still didn’t want to give up. He felt her emotions flowing as the song continued. I’m never without hope, not when my future is with you... At that point, he realised that he had subconsciously interlaced fingers with Angel. Her eyes were still closed as she continued flowing with the music. My life is in your hands, and though I may not see clearly... He looked at her when he felt her watching him and he took her in his arms. I will lift my voice and sing, ‘cause your love does amazing things, I trust in you; my life is in your hands. He saw the tears welling up in her eyes as he embraced her. She wept silently into his chest, wishing that they were still together but she knew better. She was not the type that will chase after guys that were already taken. And she did not want to start now. By that time, her tears were rolling down as she continued to look away from him. I trust in you; my life is in your hands. The song slowly faded away and he saw her mouthing the last words to him. His heart skipped a few beats as he moved further away from her.

He wiped her eyes gently and gave her a kiss on the cheek. His lips lingered a little longer then it should and he pushed her face as he look into her eyes. “Do you want it?” He muttered, staring at her lips. “Friends do not do that...” she continued, unable to look at him anymore. Right now, she wanted to run away and never look back before she does something irrational. “We are more than just friends, Angie... You know that.” She shook her head, saying that he had a girlfriend and that he should be loyal. Slowly, he sighed and sat on the grassy slopes and indicated for her to do the same.

For a moment, he looked lost in thought as he tried to find the words to explain himself. The next few minutes passed by in silence as she waited for him to start speaking first. While looking out at the view, he muttered, “We broke up last night. You were right. We were never as good as when you and I were together. She didn’t understand that I still loved you.” He paused, his green eyes changing hues, giving his emotions away. “We shouldn’t have given up and let it all go. We should have worked things out. I was stupid and foolish to believe that anyone else could have replaced you. I was afraid of speaking to you after that argument.” With that, he took hold of her hands and pulled her closer to him. On impulse, she laid her head softly on his chest, wishing that this moment in time could be frozen.

“But what if things don’t work out? I can’t go through the pain I felt these past few months again, Al.” She moved away from him and started to get up. “You don’t know how hard it was for me, seeing you with someone else. I’m finally over it. Over you. Why now? Do you think that this is just a game? Cause I don’t. And I definitely don’t find this funny.” Slowly, she started to climb down the hill. Her shoe slipped on some sand and she fell. Immediately, Alex ran to her and helped her up. At first, she thought that she could get up by herself and refused his help but the pain in her ankle denied her the chance. The stress build up inside her frail body escaped as she wept into him for the second time that night.

“I promise not to hurt you again. I want this to last as much as you do. And I am serious.” Alex muttered. While he moved in to kiss her and this time, she didn’t resist. After a while, he gasped, “I love you.” Her eyes bore into his and she hesitated. He pushed her hair back from her face and gave her another kiss. “I. Love. You.” He repeated after each kiss. They lay on their backs, looking up at the stars after a while, Angel still not replying him. She wanted so much to say that she still loved him. Her heart had soared when he finally said those words to her. “They’re beautiful.” She whispered, referring to the stars. “Yes, you are.” She turned to find him and found him looking directly at her.

He held her hand and gave her a small kiss on her cheek. “I don’t want to force you into anything. Just take your time. I will wait. Even if it takes a lifetime because you are worth it.” His lips were still lingering on her cheek while he said that and she turned her head towards him, their mouths meeting. “I love you so much, Alex.” At those very words, he hugged her tightly and showered her with kisses. The both of them knew their mistakes in the past and vowed silently never to repeat them again. For they do not want to lose each other anymore.

Palm Eve Mass (4 Apr 09)

2009-04-09T01:16:00.000+08:00

Well, yeah, that time of year again. Playing for mass, singing responserial psalm, watching the dance and all. ANIMATED BY THE YOUTHS OF CHS! It was all hard work and pretty much exhausting. In the morning, we didn't have time to practice the whole thing once through and I got pretty worried.

The very tired Felicia after a practice.

But when 6pm came, the mass was running smoothly. (Of course, Andre was right beside us fixing things when things go wrong.) It started with Save us. I was playing the piano while Adrian was on guitar and Mark S was on drums. We had to play the intro so many times before the dancers actually came in and we were making faces at each other. After that was the first reading and *dramatic music* the responserial psalm. Honestly, people said that I did good and one of my friend's mom said that I had an angelic voice. (Sigh, happy feelings the whole way). Next was the second reading and then 'Speak O Lord'. The long gospel came and we stood throughout the whole thing. Sure there were some mispronounciation but overall, it was alright. The homily was after that. Felicia played for Still while the rest accompanied her on the other instrument. Next was I Give You My Heart and I messed up the first part of the song by playing the wrong instrument on my keyboard. I had to change it a few times and finally got to Piano when the singers started singing. LOL! And at the last line, the singers forgot to sing, leaving me singing alto alone. But luckily, they came in at "Lord have Your way in me." It sounded like it was planned so we just 'buat tak tahu'. Next was al the mass rights which Felicia mostly played and communion hymn was up. At the Cross never sounded more beautiful. Edelyn started singing it and slowly I came in with the alto part. The third verse, the cantors joined in and it was very nice. Give thanks was next and we played a slightly Jazz version with me playing a sax tune. Finally, after the final blessing, we ended with God is Good and all of us had a blast!

The whole gang! (Mark, why aren't you doing anything?!)

We had group pictures taken after that and it was off to the Seder Meal in the first floor classroom. And that, my fellow readers, is another tale to be told by itself, including bittergourd and salt water. (*shudders* It didn't taste too good)

During the Seder Meal

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

College! (part 2)

2009-04-09T01:02:00.000+08:00

Well, the game we played was 20 questions. We had to figure out what Miss Sharon career was. Stuff like shadow and zoo keeper came out and it was pretty hilarious. Besides that, we took a break and continued with playing Taboo. It was AWESOME. My group (Team A) won by a landslide! haha. Actually a mere 20 points. I realised that I was a better guesser than giving the clues. Everyone had fun. After that, we (Aihsin, Aanand, Yee Chian, Carina and me) went for lunch at Gurney. First we shopped at Popular for matching exercise books for Miss Sharon's class in order to confuse her by not writing our names. We even met William there. (Sorry Will if I was rude to you. Didn't do it on purpose) Then, it was MAKAN TIME at Nando's. The guy serving us had a more particular interest in Aanand and kept talking to him. It was pretty funny.

About the incident with Sin, well, ahha, we got lost on our way to Queensbay. We ended up in town, 3 times! I don't know how it came about that way. We actually missed one turning and poof, we are in the wrong direction. The same thing nearly happened when we wanted to go to E-Gate. We missed the turning and ended up going back to Island Park. It was funny. Oh yeah, during that process, I won two tickets to David Archuleta's concert at Sunway. Too bad, I can't make it cause I had to collect the tickets by tomorrow in SUNWAY PIRAMID! It was no way that would happen.

Anyways, besides that, all is well in the wonderful College life that I have. And no way do I miss school at all. Ah, I've included a picture with all my friends I have made.

All for one and one for all!

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

College!

2009-04-07T09:21:00.000+08:00

Hohoho. Right now, I'm in college waiting for my ever loved lecturer to start the class. It is already 9.21 and she is still roaming the streets of SEGi (AWESOME COLLEGE). Anyways, had quizes for Bio from Mr. David and Miss Sharon asked to write a movie review. -.- It was the KNOWING and it was really good. Anyway, now we have a game to play so, will tell you about that later. And about our little incident about us going to Queensbay. (Aihsin and me) Haha. It is actually quite exciting. And very funny. I guess I just proved my parents right when they say that my sense of direction is pretty bad. Cheers. Class is starting

Long time

Yes, it has been a LONG TIME. Why? I have no clue. Maybe I am just downright lazy. Maybe cause I have loads of things to do. Maybe... I just don't know. Recently, what has been happening is... (drumroll please) I STARTED COLLEGE~

It is pretty cool. Actually, way better than high school. No b*tches and mainly all around great people. I started on 23rd March. With bio. My lecturer's name is David and. It was just an introduction to Bio so no heavy stuff. Still have some assignments to do. Pictures of lecturers and the campus soon (when I finally get off my arse to take the pictures). Today was English Basic Compositon 101. It was taught by Miss Sharon which on our first day with her, gave us a 1000-1500 word essay about the effects of global warming and environmental degradation to tourism. We had to write to Mother Nature. It was also in conjunction of the 60 earth hour where we will switch off all lights on 28 March from 8.30-9.30. So guys, please do join us in saving the world.

Anyways, besides college, I also got my new keyboard!!! It is a Yamaha PSR-S700. It is so FUN! So for palm eve, the keyboard will be used.

And yeah, SPM results out. It was quite, ummm, alright. Average. And yeah, I might have been disappointed last time, but now I thank God for giving my grades. At least now I am in college and Yes, I am going to work my arse off into succeeding. Cheers! Anyways, besides that, I am still helping out in church and doing assignment and just living my life. I have a wonderful family, great friends and right now, an AWESOME LIFE. I wouldn't change it for the world. Yes, I have been short tempered recently, but I am sorry to anyone that I hurt. Honestly, I didn't mean any of it. Just too much tension (like what Brian and Adrian said). So right now, I might not be able to blog that much anymore. But I will keep whoever that is interested updated.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Mom's B'day

2009-03-02T00:42:00.000+08:00

First of all,

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MOM! WE LOVE YOU!

Photo taken : 27 Feb 09

So, it was a Friday night and instead of going to Shalom today, I decided to spend time with my family. (yes, it has been a long time since I did that). So, the night before, I came home nearly at midnight, and had enough time to give my mom some fake roses for her birthday. Ok ok, back to the story at hand, the familia went to the Noodle Station where we had a late dinner as my sister, Kelly had tuition before that. So, of course there was some talking, joking and of course, fighting (between me and my sister, D-U-H). Well, we finally decided on our food.

The drink came first. (Once again, I will let the pictures do the talking as it is 3am in the morning and I am too lazy to type. =P)

My mom's drink
Peach lemonade

My dad's drink
Grape Lemonade

My dad 'inspecting' the drink

Apparently, it was up to standard. =)

Yeah, my dad's noodles. Right behind was TWO THUMBS UP!

Mom getting fed by her loving husband (winks)

My sis's BANANA SPLIT! Yummm...

My mom's soup noodles. (delicious!)

My ever fantastic drink. Ice Age.

My croissant with smoked turkey

haha, the filling!

Well, that was about it. We managed to catch up with each other's lives and everything. And I vow to spend more time with my family.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Outing in QB

2009-02-19T18:05:00.000+08:00

Last night, the gang (Helena, Ken, Babe, William, Carina, Mark and me) went for a movie outing. One of the rare social gathering which Helena planned. Haha. So, we met in church at about 7.00p.m. and waited to pick Ken up. In the process, we met David who was there for intercessory prayer meeting for SWYF. At around 7.45, we left for Ken's house to pick him up when we saw his car tuning in to their road. Helena, being Helena, went to chase after him (in the car). He was driving home really fast and Hel said that Ken was running away from us. But in the end, he was just late. His mom wan't too happy. Luckily, his mood wasn't spoilt and we left for QB.

We went there to buy the tickets and decided where to eat. Ken suggested Manhattan Fish Market. We had about half an hour to eat as the movie would begin at 9.05. So, in the end, we were still a bit late for the movie and it was probably 10 minutes into it. Well, we watched "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button". Well, this would be a spoiler to all those that never watched it yet but this summary is taken from Wikipedia.

The elderly Daisy (Cate Blanchett) is on her deathbed with her daughter Caroline (Julia Ormond) in a New Orleans hospital as Hurricane Katrina approaches in August 2005. Daisy tells the story of a blind clockmaker named Gateau (Elias Koteas), who was commissioned to create a clock to hang in the New Orleans train station. After receiving news of his son's death in World War I, he continued work on his clock, but intentionally designed it to run backward, in the hope that it would bring back those who died in the war. After her cryptic story, Daisy asks Caroline to read aloud from a diary containing photographs and postcards written by Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt). Caroline begins to read as the story transitions to Benjamin's narration.

On November 11, 1918, just as the people of New Orleans are celebrating the end of World War I, a baby boy is born with the appearance and physical maladies of an elderly man. The mother of the baby dies shortly after giving birth, and the father, Thomas Button, takes the baby and abandons him on the porch of a nursing home. Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) and Tizzy (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), a couple who work at the nursing home, find the baby. Queenie, who is unable to conceive, decides to take the baby in as her own, against Tizzy's wishes. She names the baby Benjamin.

Over the course of the story, Benjamin begins to biologically grow younger. In 1930, while still appearing to be in his seventies, he meets a young girl named Daisy (Elle Fanning), whose grandmother lives in the nursing home. The children play together and listen to Daisy's grandmother read from a storybook.

A few years later, Benjamin goes to work on a tugboat on the docks of New Orleans for Captain Mike (Jared Harris). In their free time, the captain takes him to brothels and bars. For the first time, Benjamin meets Thomas Button, who does not reveal that he is Benjamin's father. Later, Benjamin leaves New Orleans with the tugboat crew for a long-term work engagement; Daisy asks him to send her postcards from his travels, which Benjamin does.

During a stay in Russia, Benjamin meets a British woman named Elizabeth Abbott (Tilda Swinton) and falls in love with her; Daisy is visibly hurt to receive this news via postcard. Elizabeth is already married, but she has an affair with Benjamin. The fling ends the day after the Pearl Harbor attack, when Elizabeth abruptly departs.

Benjamin gets caught up in World War II when Captain Mike's boat and crew are enlisted by the United States Navy. After engaging a German U-boat in battle, Captain Mike and most of the sailors perish. After this, Benjamin, after seeing a hummingbird, sees death in a different way, as opposed to the retirement home where death seemed more natural.

In 1945, Benjamin returns to New Orleans, and learns that Daisy has become a successful dancer in New York City. When he travels there to meet Daisy at a performance, he finds Daisy has fallen in love with a fellow dancer, David, and tries to accept that their lives have separated.

Benjamin again meets Thomas Button, who is dying. Thomas reveals to Benjamin that he is his father and bequeaths all of his assets to Benjamin, including the house and the family button-making business. Benjamin eventually makes peace with his father before the elder Button dies.

Daisy's dance career is ended by a car accident in Paris. When Benjamin goes to see her, Daisy is amazed at his youthful appearance, but frustrated at her own injuries, turns him away.

In 1962, Daisy returns to New Orleans and meets Benjamin again. Now the same physical age, they fall in love and move in together. They experience the 1960s together, in large part blissfully but increasingly aware of Benjamin growing younger while Daisy grows older.

After Daisy gives birth to a girl, Caroline, Benjamin, believing he cannot be a father to his daughter due to his reverse aging, and not wanting to burden Daisy with having to raise two children, sells his belongings, and leaves them to Daisy and Caroline before leaving them both to travel the world.

Reading this account in the hospital room of 2005, Caroline learns that Benjamin is her father. She is upset that Daisy took such a long time to inform her of this, but finds that Benjamin sent her a postcard from everywhere for each of her birthdays expressing his love for his daughter.

In 1980, Benjamin, now looking like a young man, returns to meet Daisy in her dance studio. The aging Daisy is now married to Robert Williams, a kind man who supports her well, to Benjamin's relief. Daisy introduces Benjamin to Robert and the 12-year-old Caroline as a long-time family friend. Daisy and Benjamin then meet privately in Benjamin's hotel where they share their passion for each other, but they mutually realize that Daisy has become too old for Benjamin.

Benjamin departs again and continues to grow younger. One day Daisy receives a phone call from social workers. They inform her that they found Benjamin - now a young pre-teen just hitting puberty - living in a condemned building, and that they called her because they saw her name all over his diary. The social workers believe that he has dementia as he sometimes forgets that he had just eaten and cannot remember Daisy or much of his past. Daisy moves into the nursing home where Benjamin grew up and takes care of him as he becomes a confused 5-year-old boy with a growing temper.

In 2002, Mr. Gateau's old clock is removed from the train station. Shortly afterward, in the spring of 2003, the now-physically infant, 85-year-old Benjamin dies in Daisy's arms. At the moment before Benjamin dies, Daisy claims to have seen in his eyes that he still remembered her.

In the 2005 hospital room, the hurricane raging outside downs the electrical system. As Caroline briefly leaves the room, Daisy passes away, her wish of seeing Benjamin again seemingly answered by a hummingbird hovering outside the storm-drenched windows. Against the sounds of the city's emergency sirens and reports of breached levees, the backwards clock is shown in a basement, still working, as floodwaters envelope the storage room where it is kept.

It was a very good movie and we ended up going home at 12.00 midnight.

Lots of love,

Adele Emily

Woo hoo. I just fell off my bike today! Just when I finally received my 'P' licence. The same senario happened when I first received my 'L'. I was parking the bike and I scraped the wall. That was on the right side of the bike. The mirror was scratched and well, a bit of the paint came off. Today, I was in church and I saw Ken. I called him and went to park my bike. As I was turning, I suddenly lost control and fell. Oh yeah, I fell on the right side again. This time, the whole mirror (the one with the scratches) broke off. (Is this a coincidence?) Later we found out that it was because my tyre was punctured by something. It was pretty funny. Ken helped by following me in his car to find a place to repair my bike but everywhere was closed. After that, we both left to eat dinner in our own homes like nothing happened. The best was I told my parents and they didn't scold me. So, for that I thank God.

Visit to General Hospital (13 Feb 09)

2009-02-14T14:19:00.000+08:00

Well, technically, this is part 2 of the Advent project. You see, we still had lots of presents overflowing the Advent Room so we decided to give some to the children in the hospital. We (Andre, Ken, Wil Sern, Greg and I) sorted out the presents to be handed out. That took about two hours. Soon, we all got very hungry and decided to go to KFC for lunch where Andre ordered a bucket of 15 pieces of chicken for us.

After lunch, we met Ian in church where we split up into two groups (Andre's car- Ken, WS and Greg with the girls' presents and Ian's car- Me and the boys' presents) From there, we headed out to GH to spread some joy to them. The kids there were very ill and had problems. It was very sad to see that but all we could do was just give a present in hopes of them getting better. This post is once again a post that has to be filled with pictures as words can't express the whole event.

Rachel's Sweet Sixteen Party (30-31 Jan 09)

2009-02-14T13:17:00.000+08:00

Well, it started off with Kevin coming over to my house at 11.30 in the morning. Rach came to pick us up at around 1.45 and we left to Stella Maris to drop of the million and one things (mainly food) we brought over. After that, we had lunch in some Indian Cuisine restaurant and it was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!

We went back to just chill for a while while waiting for the guest to arrive. So we were on the bed, messing with my laptop while Kevin nicely snoozed away in the other bed. We decided to blow up some balloons for the party and just by experiment, I held it against the back door and it actually stuck on without anything.

The magical balloons!

Sleeping Kevin, hald dead with body aching like an old granpa!

Anyways, Rach was busy taking pictures of the house while I was busy taking pictures of her taking pictures of the house!

Birthday Girl in action taking the magical balloons!

Posing nicely for the camera!

Soon, the guest pretty much arrived. Sonia and her bro, Sachin and Boris came. (Please forgive me if I forgot anyone). They went out to breathe the fresh sea breeze while two models (Rachel and Kevin) posing on the wall. It was a nice picture, I gotta admit.

The two statues

We went down to the beach and had some fun standing on the rocks and writing in sand. Ok, against my blogging nature, the pictures that are placed are better left unexplained as a picture is worth a thousand words. (with the help of a few captions)

Kevin writing on the sand about who I 'love'

But I erased it in the nick ot time!

Rachel and Sonia (The two banditos)

The three amigos

Another shot of the birthday model, erm, I mean girl.

A rare shot of Boris and Sachin

An even rarer shot of the photographer

And ANOTHER picture of the birthday girl!

Well, after that, we all fought for the bathroom cause we all were very wet. (D-U-H) We had fun on the beach and collected some very unique looking seashells. Then it was DINNER TIME! All the food were superb. Of course, with a birthday, there always will be a birthday cake. This was ummm, Tiramisu and it was HEAVENLY!

The yummy cake

Rachel and her dad (on duty for lighting the candles)

Cut the birthday cake, ATTACK!

We had fireworks after that and it was soon time for everyone to leave. Awww, then the five of us (Rach, her mom, her dad, Kevin and me) stayed there and while Kevin the grandfather slept, Rach and me played Rock Legends. (actually, it was me playing and her getting addicted.) It was pretty cool as she reached level 12 in about one hour or so. Not bad eh? Well, finally, we decided to turn in fot the night!

The next morning, Rach's dad woke us up and they left for the beach again while I stood on the sidelines as I didn't have anymore spare clothes. So, we collected more seashells and soon after that, we left for home as I had a gathering to prepare for. Overall, the two days spent with my dear and close friend was a success and we are planning on doing it again! WOO HOO!

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

The meaning of my name

2009-02-13T19:23:00.000+08:00

Today, I went to surf the net to find the true meaning of my name. First of all, My name is Adele, and my confirmation name (which was chosen in Form 4) is Emily. So, this is what i found...

Adele

Origin : Germany
Alternate Origin : French
Meaning : Noble, Kind, Good Humour (Cool huh?)

Adele (as a Saint's name)

Feast Day : 24 Dec (6 days after my birthday!)
Meaning : Noble
Saint and Patronage : Saint Adele’s first vocation was as a wife and mother. She served God by taking care of her family, praying, and doing works of mercy. When her husband died, she became a nun and founded a convent. As its first abbess, she ruled with great compassion and holiness.

Emily (normal name)

Origin : Latin-America
Alternate Origin : French German
Meaning : Admiring, Industrious
Famous bearer : French writer Emile Zola, Emily Dickenson

Emily (as a Saint's name)

Feast Day : 24 Dec (6 days after my birthday!)
Meaning : Excelling
Saint and Patronage : Saint Gregory the Great had three aunts who led prayerful religious lives in their father's house, Tarsilla, Saint Emiliana, and Gordiana. They encouraged each another to growth in holiness.

Conclusion, from what I observe from the saint's name, both their feast days are exactly the same. That by far, is pretty cool!

Valentine's Day

2009-02-12T00:44:00.002+08:00

Can someone please tell me what the fuss is about for this? Yeah, it is a day to share your love with that special someone but don't you do that everyday? If you don't, that sounds a bit wrong. Don't get me wrong, I know I sound jealous because I don't have that special someone to share it with but hear me out. Gifts on Valentine's day, you don't really have to wait till that day to give a gift to someone you love. Valentine's day, it feels like it is compulsory to give. I mean, why don't the guy send a rose to his girl just because it is a Monday. That will trully mean more then expecting a bunch of roses for just one day. And girls, I've known some that will cry just cause their partner didn't buy the exact pair of earrings that she wanted. I mean, it is the thought that count.

Valentine's day is about love, maybe just a small reminder that you have someone to celebrate it with. Sure it is nice to be treated, but, you don't have to wait till that day arrives. As long as you have each other, why wait? I know a few people that were looking forward to spending valentine's day with their partner, with all the plans and all but in the end break up before that happens. Then how? You will be left heartbroken and sorry that you didn't get to carry out your plans earlier. (or maybe anger and relieve cause you don't have to spend money)

Okay, I know I sounded a bit harsh before and this is just a rant. Maybe cause just now, they were talking about valentine's day and what, who and how are you going to spend it touched a sore nerve. It would be nice to have someone other than your family to spend that time with. To make you feel special. But life is just. That day will eventually come to all.

Plus, when I was over at Stella Maris for Rachel's birthday (will talk about that soon), a phrase just floated into my head and I wrote it down in the sand.

I was thinking about how I wrote a letter for this guy and I actually sent it to him. And the worst part was I told him I loved him. But he replied "I already love you..." If that happens, it was worth the wait. Of not spending valentine's day this year or the next. As long as I am with the guy I love for the rest of my life. I rather have one very special person in my life than move on from one partner to the next. Cause everytime you are with a new person, you give part of your heart to him. And most of the time, they will misuse it or break your heart. And you will be left with less love to offer the next.

Maybe that is why I cling on. I want to spend my life just with him. And no other. But if God has other plans in store and things don't work out, I wouldn't mind. As long as I have the very good friends I have now, I am really grateful for it. I don't need one person to love me when I have a bunch of friends that already do. Okay, my apologies for just now rants. I was bitter. He is still dear to me. I would do anything for him. Seriously. But, I am not going to be as foolish as to quickly jump into relationships anymore. That experience has given me wisdom. It also brought me closer to God. So thanks. And I wish you all the best with your current girl sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

Lots of love,
Adele Emily

Days of my life

2009-02-11T23:14:00.000+08:00

Well, yeah.. I haven't been blogging for a while because of the fact that I was swamped with camps the whole of last week. On Thursday till Friday (5-6 Feb 09), we (The post form five) stayed over in CHS for the 'Powered By The Spirit' which is a crash course of Life in the Spirit Seminar. So we had lots of PAW and praying. The morning on Thurs, we learnt about God the Father's love. We learnt how to forgive our dads in order to have a better relationship with God. Then, in the afternoon we had power nap which I used to talk to Helena. She advised me on a few stuff and help me through a few problems I was facing with my friends. That night, we had to carry out some skits. I was in group 2 which had to do the crucifix of Jesus. We made it funny (By adding a few noises and actions... Mostly the actors as I was merely narrator.) but in the end, of course we had to make it serious. My proudest moment was when I said "Jesus died for us on the cross. He took away the sins of the world so that we may enter the Kingdom of God. Like John 3:16 says,
For God so loved the world that he gave His only son that whoever that believes in Him will have eternal Life.
Well, our group was the last.

Up first was the Prodigal Son which were presented by group 3. They had American Lingo like : Yo, dad, give me yo cash, yo... and the father (acted by Ken) had only RM27 for the son's inheritance. The funniest was when the son returned, the father presented him with gifts like slippers (pink and small) for his bare feet, a cloak (a white girl sweater) for his back and a ring.

Next was group 1 with the rising of Lazarus. The funniest was Lazarus tapping his fingers, waiting for Jesus (Jacky) to raise him back. Jesus on the other hand acted like he was performing a magic show with his hands outstretched. The way he talked was superb. He couldn't get one sentence out without us audience laughing so hard.

After the skits, we had inner healing. We learnt to completely forgive everyone that hurt us. There to minister over us was David, Sharon, Aaron, Ah Fan, Helena and of course Andre. It was a tough night but it was worth it. I never felt my heart so light and filled with joy after that. I realised that because of that I was able to put my problems aside and listen to God and my own heart.

That night, the only frustrating thing was that the girls didn't want to sleep and well, pretty much got on my nerves seeing that I am a very light sleeper. But eventually, everything grew quiet and I drift off into much needed sleep.

The morning, we learnt about Jesus's Love. How he suffered to save our lives. How painful the torture was. But he still did it. For us. We praised Him and thanked him. After the talk, we sang 'Above All' and bowed and kneel in front of the crucifix to ask God the Son to forgive our sins and everything. The afternoon went pass and it was time to learn about the Holy Spirit. One thing that Andre said that kept inside me was, "There is no such thing as luck - it is a blessing"

That afternoon, I managed to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. It was something I will never forget.

~~~

The weekend, I was in Ipoh and this time Joan and Matthew didn't join us but instead was replaced by Greg. Throughout the whole time in Ipoh, we had loads of fun and talked to some old friends that we met so long ago (actually, only in dec) but it was great catching up with them. They managed to run the whole gathering almost single handedly. It was a proud moment for all of us. Well, it was pretty much the same things we went through and as usual slept at 4 something.

At 7.45 a.m., Miss Helena woke me up and I had to wake up the rest. As usual, Ken and Mark didn't want to wake up van dthe Ipoh youths that stayed over didn't move an inch. But in the end, we managed to get off the mattresses long enough for breakfast.

After that, we joined the meeting for PAG in St. Michael. We had a short intercessory with the internal team to boost their confidence through prayer. It was generally productive and we could see the youth coming out to pray without much hesistation, which was a good thing.

We skipped lunch and headed straight home. After we reached Penang, we had KFC which Helena generously paid for as a job well done. I was sent home first after that and from the car, I received a 'air kiss' from one of them. =) It was funny to see their reaction when I returned it.

~~~

Well, right now, today is Wednesday, 11.02.09 which I can happily say that I PASSED MY MOTORBIKE TEST! The night before, I had trouble sleeping so I called Dad to call me from Shanghai just to talk. Before that, I was reading the Bible which had become my solace from all my worries. I was just wondering if God could give me a sign as to whether my prayers were being answered and I ran across a Bible Verse. Mark 11:24 says "When you pray and ask for something, believe that you will receive it and you will be given whatever you ask for."

After that, I was calmed down and managed to fall asleep. That morning I was sms-ing William and Wil Sern with my nerves on a all time high. But they told me the same things, remember to take deep breaths, calm your nerves and relax. Thanks guys. I also have to say thanks to those that prayed for me the night before (Ken) and for being there when I announced my great news. It was a great day. I had never been so (in terms of David) euphoric. I couldn't stop smiling and I nearly cried. Thanks God, for everythig and for answering my prayers. I will declare to the whole world once again, "ALLELUIA, PRAISE THE LORD, AMEN!"

Kenny's Surprise Party

2009-01-26T23:33:00.000+08:00

Well, firstly, we had to pull it off without him knowing. That was pretty hard as babe kept dropping hints e.g.

Babe : Eh, check her phone messages la.
Ken : Why leh? (Looks at me with raised eyebrows)

Babe : Cause got secret messages from her new boyfriend.

Me : Wei, don't ah. (Looks warningly at Babe)
Ken : No la, I won't read. Later get scolding

And it went on. Well, I was worried as the first five messages on my phone was about his party. And babe knew. Teruk! Haha, anyways, we (Babe - driving, Greg, Jack and me) arrived at RED-BOX at about 7.00 p.m. There, the rest of them nicely resting in the room and complaining that they were hungry. So, Adeline, David, Helena, Mark, Benny, Greg, Jack, Babe, me. Andre was already at Gurney, keeping the birthday boy busy (fish spa, movie and all).

Yeah, I also made a card for Ken from all of us. It was the first time i did art since ... TWO YEARS AGO. lol. It was a bit hard to find supplies and all, but alas, pulled it off.

Yeah, so, when he came in, at around 7.45, he was so surprised. Haha, we all wished him and it was MAKAN TIME! It was a buffet and everyone took as much as they could carry and the songs started playing. And, we started singing. It was really fun. At first, before Ken arrived, David was singing most of the time as none of us wanted. But slowly, I took the mike and started singing. It was fun. Yeah, pretty much sing sing sing all the way. In the end, Babe was singing most of the songs (old or new). It was cool as originally, he didn't want to. Anyways, i had a couple of duets. One was with David singing 'Beauty and the Beast'. Ken was laughing at the reference Beast and Helena said that the song refered to him. And he said that he was Beauty and I'm the beast. Very funny. Anyways, after more songs which Andre introduced to us (Malaysian artist) and the songs were really nice. Then came the wonderful birthday cake.

Yeah, there was a speech by Ken (just thanks and sorry)...
After that, he had a whole slice of cake for himself.

Goal : Eat the whole slice without the help of his hands and he had to kneel. It was funny as the guys (Babe and Mark) kept forcing his head into the cake and you could hear his muffled complaints. Then it was photo session with the birthday boy with his mouth covered in cream!

Well, after that, we all made personal toast to him. Yes, every single one of us. The topics about Portuguese dance in church, a triangular smile, school, kindy and Violin exam's came up. So, after that, in order to thank us, he had a bit to say about every single one of us. It was sweet as I always get 'kutuking' from him. After that, it was nearly a wrap up. We sang a couple more songs and it was goodbye!

I've Been TAGGED! *ish

7. Do you like roller coasters?
Oh MY GOODNESS! You don't know the half of it. I could stay on it all night long if I could.

A day out visiting children's homes (7 Jan 09)

2009-01-08T16:16:00.000+08:00

It started with us (Andre, Kenneth, Wil Sern, Jacky and me) having to meet in church to sort out the presents for the children. The girls' pile (sorted by WS and me) had 189 presents! Amazing, right? The boys' pile (sorted by K and J) had 178! Apparently, K was having a competition on who had the most presents. (Ahem, we know who wins...) Anyways, then we had to sort out to which home we should send it to. Like Shan's, Shammah and H.O.G (House of Grace, what are you thinking?). So we hauled big plastic bags into A's booth and off we were to drop them off. Firstly, we dropped the Shan's presents. Inside, there was only one kid because the rest were in school. We found out that the kids had to eat on floors as there weren't enough space for all to sit on proper tables and chairs. It was pretty sad really. The kids even had a board where they earned stars (if they're good) and dots (when they're naughty). We didn't stay long.

After that, we had lunch and went on to the next house... Shammah! There, we saw more children as they already returned from school. This couple (Steven and Wife) took it to their responsibility to take care of these children. Imagine, they dropped everything of comfort to help others. People, this is trully God's work in disguise. The kids over there were playing a simple game using the alphabet song. They passed round a sweet and the person to have it when the song end has to do a forfeit. We teens decided to join them in. All of us got a forfeit except J. The kids were sad to see us leaving and maybe in the future we plan to visit them again to spend time with them seeing that we have LOTS of free time.

Anyways, that was pretty much it. We had tea (cendol, passembur and ice kacang!) at New World Park and went back home. Today, I learnt that we should all be thankful of what we have and never complain as there are so many less fortunate out there. Next time, you want to complain about your parents, think of those that would do anything to get a parents' love. Or the next time you want to complain that the computer games are not intersting or you are bored, think about those who do not have anything to play with. We should stop wasting money on materialistic stuff. Look at those kids, they were happy with their lives without it. That day, I learnt so many life lessons and it was so worth it being there to share the joy with kids.

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn't?, or Saying nothing and wishing you had? I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them.

If you do, they might break your heart...if you don't, you might break theirs.Have u ever decided not 2 become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person? Your heart decides whom it likes and whom it doesn't.You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own........when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to. Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was too afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care too much...for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even at all. Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was too hard to handle? We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what wedon't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us.

But every time we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger. Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump.Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have done, or could have had.

* What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say good-bye?
*What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?
*What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? (even if it is that you don't care anymore)
*What would you do if you loved someone more than ever and you couldn't have them?
*What would you do if you never got the chance to say I am friends with all of my family and they know I love them?
*People live, but people die. I want to tell you that you are a friend.

If you died tomorrow (God Forbid)
you would be in my heart.Would I be in yours?

A Perfect Night

2009-01-07T18:04:00.001+08:00

The night was late and all her friends were asleep soundly in their warm comfortable beds. All except one. She was out on the balcony, reminiscing her past, being depressed and disappointed with how her life was turning out to be. But she wasn’t alone. As tears fell from her eyes, she heard her name being called softly from the other room. There he was. Her best friend was standing in the opposite balcony probably preoccupied with his own life and all the stress that has been going on. Hastily, she wiped her tears and smiled at him. A sad smile. Immediately, he sense that something was wrong and beckoned her into his room.

“What’s on your mind?” he muttered silently, staring deeply into her eyes, trying to figure out her dilemma. “Nothing much, really. Just thinking about the past again.” As she said that, she wanted to hit herself. She was on a holiday with her closest friends and there she was, feeling sorry for herself again. She was starting to wonder when she would ever return to normal. The both of them just stared quietly at the glimmering stars and appreciate the sounds of nature. Finally, he said, “You know, there’s more to life than him. He was only a chapter in your life. It is time you started writing new beginnings. It always gets better.”

She sighed and pondered his advice. He was right, but somehow, she couldn’t let go. Her friends, as a joke, rubbed it in her face and the sting from the wound he caused was still there. She had a feeling that it would be there for a long time. Her heart, given to that guy and he broke into two. The wind brushed against her, causing her to shiver from the cold. He reached out to hold her, to give her warmth, to protect her. He knew how she felt and wanted to help her. To heal her. Once again, silence struck them. It was not often where the both of them are equally lost for words. The only other time that happened was when she was sad.

“What happens if I get hurt again?” she whispered. He continued the silence for a while. “Well, you just have to pick yourself up again. This is life. Bad things happen to the best of us.” As he said that, tears cascaded down her cheeks as she silently wept. Panic was aroused as he gave her a bear hug. She continued weeping into him as he stroked her hair, calming her down.

“I promise never to hurt you...”

That comment caught her off guard. She looked up to him and he gently wiped her tears away. He was shocked that those words came out of his mouth. He had vowed to keep quiet about his liking toward her. He didn’t want to complicate her life anymore than it already was. It would make things difficult for him too. There would be questions from their circle of friends, maybe even disgust. But he couldn’t help it. He took her cold hands and brought her closer to him. Her eyes widened and before she could speak up, he gave her a kiss. It was merely a kiss on the cheek but the feeling was strong. All the emotions he was feeling toward her came out with that kiss.

“I can’t do this. I don’t want to lose you as a friend. What if this doesn’t work out?” Her eyes widened with fright and she shook her head. But in her mind, she had always wanted this to happen. But she never realised that it would come true. She always dreamt about it, praying to God. Now, it’s here. What did she have to lose? If it doesn’t work out, their friendship would be scarred. Was she willing to take that chance?

“Now that this is out in the open, I really need to tell you. I never thought of you as a failure nor a disappointment. On the contrary, I think that you are an amazing girl filled with talent and have a heart of gold. Don’t ever think of yourself that way again. I’ve always liked you and I think you are a joy to be with.” He took a deep breath and looked away. All she could do was reply him with a long hug. She was willing to take a chance. She knows that her friendship is strong enough to take a risk. They smiled truly out of happiness as they embraced in the moonlight. This was a start to a new beginning and she loved every minute of it. May trouble come; they would face it head on and think things through rationally. Yes, there will be fights. Yes, there will be tension. But they’re doing it for love. That night started with two lonely people from different balconies, thinking about how miserable they are. But it ended with them finally realising the meaning of their friendship. The meaning of love.

Love does not come immediately. It comes over time. Knowing through personality and characteristics and not judging them by their appearance. Love is indeed blind, but it is not deaf nor dumb.

New Year Eve's Mass (31 Dec 08)

2009-01-05T17:10:00.000+08:00

After nearly one month of practices, we finally had to play for mass. We include, Felicia on keyboard...

Mark on drums...

Adrian Oyog on electric guitar...

Katrina on acoustic guitar.

Singers include Rachel Ng, Aundrey, Winnie Wong and John Stanley.

Well, It started with Mary's Boy Child. We had a super cool island version for this song. And after that are normal mass rights. RESPONSIRIAL PSALM WAS DONE BY ME! Wow, it was my first time and i did it! As Hiro Nakamura would say... YA-TA! I received compliments from a few people. Honestly, it felt GREAT! For the collection hymn we played Go Tell It On The Mountain. We played a country version thanks to Mr. Andre's input. Right after that we went straight into Christmas isn't Christmas. It was awesome. More mass rights and into The First Noel for communion. We Are The Reason was thanksgiving hymn and final we had Ave Maria. Did you know that the chorus of the song is part of the Hail Mary. yeah, we play some other Mother Mary song and Angels We Have Heard On High. Lastly, my favourite... JOY TO THE WORLD! The version we played is really cool. It had piano slides and everything. It started with an orcestra version followed by the modern verion. That throughtout the whole mass, minus the resp. psalm was my pride and joy. We ended it with a countdown which was ONE MINUTE LATE. Parish people were tapping their watches at us to tell us that we were late. So we started the one minute countdown which was filled with photos of events throughout the whole year. We ended it with Auld Lang Syne. After that, a few of the gang crashed in the Oyog's house to celebrate where we played mahjong, uno and poker. We also played PS2 and talked a lot. we eft at about 5. That's how we spent welcoming the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

Camping Trip (16-17 Dec 08)

2008-12-29T22:56:00.000+08:00

On the 16th till 17th Dec, a couple of us (Andre, Helena, Joachim, Aunty Annie, Carina, Adrian, Gregsson, William, Benny, Brian, Jacky) went camping in Pantai Keracut (I think that's how they spell it). It was awesome. It is my first time camping, seriously. And it was FUN! And tiring. Okay okay, let's start from the beginning. We had to wake up at 6. Andre gave Greg, Jack and me a lift to church where the rest were waiting. Our eyes were so tired and most of us were falling asleep. Had breakfast and we were off for a so called 40 minute hike to the beach which with us slow coaches, took one hour and fourty minutes. We were carrying roti canai and loaves of bread and... luggages... You know the drill. IT WAS HARD! Heavy things

Greg was carrying one big ice box with ice, sparkling wine, sausages and all, woosh. When we finally reached the beach, the first half of them actually sang 'Deck the Halls' on the top of their lungs. We were just so relieved that we reached thaty most actually sank into the beach and slept (mainly the adults). We had sandwiches for lunch and set up the tents.

Yeah, but... the man in charge there told us we couldn't park our behinds there so we had to slowly pack things up and move to some secluded spot behing where no wind could be found. Okay, not that dramatic. Before that, Brian killed a nearly dead jellyfish. With the stick William brought with him. Brian actually broke it into a few pieces.

BEFORE IN BETWEEN AFTER

After that, we went to swimming in the river. The water was super cold and refreshing. All of us had fun splashing water at each other. Funny. And i took my phone there (at the risk of wetting it) and managed to get the only pics of the gang in the river. MUAHAHA.

That wasnt even the end of the day... We started a fire and heated up the roti canai and other food. That evening, we played captain ball in the sand till it was dinner. Spegetthi. YUM. Yeah, It started raining at night and we had to stay in the canoe shack. That night, Benny kena stung by something and we kind of panic for a little while. Thankfully, he was alright. We (Carina, Greg, William, Jack and me) Didn't sleep that night. We stayed up and talk the whole way while watching for shooting stars. In the morning, we had a power nap for like one hour and started to pack things up and had maggie mee for breakie. Lol. Not enough seasoning for everyone, had to share. Finally, it was time to go home.. Sob. Not till we took a speedboat home. Thank God we didn't have to hike or most of us (mostly the sleep deprived) will just die on the way.

That was pretty much the whole camping trip. Some of us (me included) fell asleep in the car on the way to lunch at MCD. That's a wrap!

Hey ya'll. Once again, i'm trying to blog AGAIN. I did it last time but apparently I couldnt remember my password. A bit lame right... But it wont happen again. Muahaha. Ok, let's start with the basics. I am English educated and i just finished high school!

I LOVE music. I play the piano and i just finished grade 8. YAY! I am an beginner at guitar too. I play for my church and I'm in the youth musicians in CHS. As expected, I'm a keyboadist/singer for the youth. And I'm also in the cantor group. Recently, i just join the youth carollers. Last night we just had 7 hours of continuos carolling. IT WAS AWESOME!!! I'll upload some pics soon. When I get a hold of them.

Next, I LOVE my DOGGIES! I have two, Princess and Angel.

Princess Angel

Besides that, I love writing stories. I'm currently writing a story based on life. My life, to be exact. My experiences throughout the short span of my life. My feelings and in a way, my advice to the rest of my peers. Though, half of it is based on imagination and others experiences. When i have the time, i pledge myself to upload to my blog. LOL.

Anyways, I love GOD and I trully believe in him. I LOVE going to church. And I love participating in it.

So that's all for my first post. Updates will come soon. Cheers!
