The "Hoilday" Season

Hello to all those who read my blog. Sorry for the long disappearance since my last update. I was busy with exams and had nothing to update because all I do was study.

For those who don't know, I'm back in Malaysia now, eating all the good and cheap food. I was happy to meet my family and friends here in Penang once again. All those people who were studying in other parts of Malaysia also came back for Christmas. This time, I didn't drop by at KL due to the lack of time. There is only a 2 weeks break for me and I will be going back to Singapore again on the 2nd of January.

Apparently, this holiday is supposed to be enjoyed because of X'mas and New Year. Unfortunately for me, its a time to catch up on my studies, complete projects and study for the test which is coming after the holidays. Some type of planning my poly has, no sense of logic at all!! They are so result orientated. I can just go on complaining about how lousy, useless, pathetic my academic timetable is, but since Christmas is near, I guess I won't complain.

I hope that besides all my work, I'll still enjoy my time back here in Penang. Till the next update.. BYE!!

Some random stuff..

Hey people.. Sorry for the two or more weeks of no update.. Was lazy to update and was often out and busy with too many things.. Now i'm having problems on what to post because too many things happened the past 2 weeks..

Ok.. Let me start with last week.. Last week was e-learning week.. Which means we gotta stay at home and study online, which I don't really like.. So.. I managed to finish all the modules on monday because I was gonna be busy the whole week.. On wednesday, I went with Daren to celebrate his birthday.. We watched "Gokusen The Movie"..


Super lame show.. And its in japanese.. Haha.. Quite funny too.. My rating 2/5..

Than on Thursday, I went to KL early in the morning.. Had reunion dinner with my family (mother's side).. Had a good time at the restaurant just talking and catching up with my cousins and relatives.. Just getting to meet everyone was nice.. The best part was to get to see my family, my dad, mom, and two brothers.. Although it was just 3 days, I was glad to get to see them..

Came back to Singapore on Saturday.. Because the next day was my church's 30th anniversary.. Had a good time just watching the kids perform.. They were so cute especially when they sang.. These innocent kids are so fortunate and have nothing to worry about.. And there was this dance that I was involved in (no further elaboration is needed).. After service, everyone went to this restaurant to have anniversary lunch.. Had a good time and was full to the max.. The food was okay.. After that we went to watch "New Moon" at Plaza Singapura..


This show kinda sucks.. I was disappointed.. It was just a mere love story between Bella and Edward, very little action.. The ending was the worse.. I think this movie is just to attract the girls with all the hot guys in it.. My rating 2/5..

The next event is the Youth Camp on this Thursday.. I guess i'm gonna have to skip some lessons just to attend the camp.. Oh well.. And next 2 weeks is the common test.. OMG!! I'm so dead.. I have to do better this time.. To all the Christians out there, please please pray for my exams..

So i guess i won't be able to update my blog for a while until my exams are over, which is the 18th of December.. And i'll be going back to Malaysia on the 19th in the evening.. Until then, adiós!

Updates..

Sorry ppl for not updating my blog as often as i used to during the holidays.. Nowadays, I've been busy with projects, assignments and other stuff.. So i'll only be updating like once a week.. I'm getting quite busy now.. All because of the tight schedule in poly.. But I still make time to relax and chillax with my friends..

On Friday, we went to watch 2012..

It was a nice movie.. One of the longer ones which I've seen in such a long time.. Nowadays, shows are getting shorter, like 1 and a half to 2 hours only.. 2012 is 158 minutes long which is like 2.63 hours.. I don't want to spill the beans for those ho haven't watched it.. So i won't be talking about it.. But its a movie worth watching.. My rating: 4 of 5.. :)

At night i went to orchard.. Lights were everywhere.. As a foreigner, i was mesmerized by the awesomeness of those lights which I do not get back in Malaysia.. I was taking pictures non-stop and my friends were like: "All these are normal for us la. We've been seeing it for years." There were a huge Xmas trees set up around and the lights were dazzling along the road.. The best Xmas tree was at Ion which we could go inside and "star gaze" - we didn't actually gaze at the stars but there were super nice lights set up inside.. It was like paradise.. B-e-a-utiful!! I'll let the pictures do the talking since I'm out of words to describe the place..










These are the lights inside the big Xmas tree at Ion..









On Saturday, we went to this nice pub at Singapore Flyer.. It was a christian pub.. The band there rocked the house.. They were all pros.. I especially admire the pianist - super talented.. He was awesome!! Here is a video I took of them.. They were playing "More Than Words"..

Now another week is approaching.. I hope that this week would be a good one.. Gonna be busy again with all the work and stuff..

And last but not least..

All the best to all the SPMers.. "Do your best and let God do the rest!!" I'm sure u guys will do well.. Take care of your health too!!

Things I did the past few days..

I'm currently out of words for my Bcomm (Business Communication) presentation tmr.. I duno wat else to say.. Hope i'll be able to think of something to say soon.. Anyway, i did quite some stuff this past week..

I was dead tired on friday, 6th Nov, which was my birthday, haha.. In the morning got S & W (sports and wellness), volleyball.. Than went to Singapore History Museum for CATS assignment.. These are some random pictures.. Took too many to post all..

After that, we hung out at Plaza Singapura, went to play pool at Parklane.. Haha.. I've improved.. But overall, i managed too get to know my friends better and bond with them too.. Cool huh? But i laugh untill my stomach cannot take it d.. After that I met another group of friends, Johann, Abel and Ryan.. Went to Ajisen to eat ramen.. Was super full.. Wah, stomach pain again from all the laughing.. xD.. Duno y that day i was so high.. Didn't take photos cos my hp memory was full took 170+ pics in the museum thats y.. Lol..

Went home and the next day, my legs were hurting from all the walking.. At night we celebrated Johann's birthday.. Haha.. Surprise successful!! The food was nice.. Had a great time.. Got to know a few of Johann's friends.. Super tired when I went home.. Haven't recovered from friday's tiredness..

Overall i had a great weekend.. Thanks to the people who made it awesome!!

Update..

Sorry guys for the one week of no updates. I have a reason, and it is because i was sick for the entire week. I have absolutely no idea what caused me to be sick or how i got this sickness. After the post below, I thought that I was alright and healthy again. But I was wrong. That was just a mere "warm-up" and the real thing was just about to begin. I fell sick and went back home half way after lunch in poly. I felt that my head was hurting and burning. When I reached back home, I realized that I had fever, headache and sore throat. I immediately rested and found it hard to even get out of bed. The next day, the fever got worse and I was suffering like a stupid stray dog in bed. My temperature rose to 39.2. I went to see the doctor and she gave me medicine and 2 days of MC.

The following 2 days was bad. I began to have gastric and vomiting. I also felt dizzy and felt it hard to walk straight. I ate medicine and rested, hoping that i would recover as soon as possible. But I was wrong. On Wednesday, I went to see the doctor again because I couldn't eat and felt like vomiting if I did. This time the doctor gave me more medicine and 2 more days of MC. My tempreature had subsided by then and now I had to deal with my stomach. I had a cough too and my sore throat was still there.

Amazingly I forced myself to go to school on Thursday and endured throughout the whole day because I did not want to miss so much of the lessons that were going on. When I reached home, I found that my temperature was 38.8. It went up again! I immediately rested and ate panadol. The next day, I was feeling much better in the morning and could go to school to play volleyball. Haha. I hope that i wouldn't get sick for a long time (especially in Singapore). Right now i'm still having a cough, sore throat and a slight headache. I would like to ask those people who are reading this (if anyone even reads) to pray for full recovery so that i can catch up with my school work. Thanks!

Finally, I would like to THANK all those who have been praying for me and who are concern for me! :)

Our God is an awesome God!!!

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power and love
Our God is an awesome God

Hey people.. Something weird happened to me today.. Even right now!! I'm not quite sure how to put it in words but i'll try my best.. Here goes...

Today i went to church as usual on every other Sunday. I was feeling normal. Totally normal. During service, suddenly this headache attacked me! Wow. It was just a normal headache like the usual ones i get occasionally. I thought, okay, i'll just endure it until church is over and go home and rest. But than, during our youth bible study on Daniel, i felt terrible. I felt like there was someone pressing onto my head and the pain was unbearable. Ouch. Than went to take a panadol and hoped that my headache will go away or at least just subside a little. But than, it got worse. I had no choice, but to just endure till bible study ended. I felt like i was getting a fever too. I could feel the heat coming out from my head. And i was also having a sore throat although i drank quite a lot of water.

When it ended i felt a little bit better. So i decided to stay back with some youth and watch a video. After we watched it (which we didn't finish cause of the time factor), we went for lunch. During lunch, the headache seemed to be getting better. But there was still pain which i endured. After that i went home.

When i was walking back from the bus stop, the terrible feeling came back again. The feeling that someone was pressing against my head, fever and sore throat. The pain was terrible. When i reached home. I messaged david, asked him for prayers and immediately fell on the bed and slept until around 7.30. I didn't have quite a pleasant sleep though, since i was in such pain but i managed to get enough rest. When i woke up, it was a bit better. But the pain was still there. I took 2 panadols this time (extra fast). After my bath, i was feeling better too. My uncle than took me out for dinner.

Okay. This is where the awesomeness starts. When i was out, i felt like the headache and fever had disappeared. I suddenly felt energized and felt like doing something fun. Weird? Yeah. I felt like a different person. Someone with a new personality. That was the first time i talked so much with my uncle. I also dunno why. I think it was God who was behind all this. He is really working behind the scenes. This is the first time I ever experienced Him answering prayers almost immediately. I thought I'll only feel better tomorrow or something like that. I didn't expect to get better so fast! It was awesome! I hope that this "new personality" would continue to sustain in me. :)

Thanks to all those who prayed for me! You guys rock! Thank you Lord!

PS: Sorry if this post was too lengthy. But i just felt like sharing it to you people (at least to those who read my blog). Feel free to give me comments on my cbox! :)

This song is so true..

"A Lonely September"
by
Plain White T's

I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back

I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight

I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove

[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did
