i slept with sleep and i loved it.

so it has been awhile.

1
and its 12 october today. week 12 for monash =) which is good. and not so good. good because it is heading to an eternity long of holidays (3 months plus, i think). and not so good because exams are prowling around the corner. but hey, i'm not complaining =)

2
went over to meng yoe's new home today. It was.. nice lah. i'm picking the words carefully so that i don't ban myself from entering his house again. Other than the make-do waste paper basket as a hanging lamp-shade, everything was normal lah. He tried to impress us with his new tablecloth, but we dropped food on it -.- accidentally, of course ;)

heh. i'm getting very lazy to update nowadays. don't know why, but i suspect its age related (getting old T.T). and talking agout age, i think 09 is passing me by faster come the 3rd quarter of the year. September went by silently, and now its close to mid october already.

Sometimes this rate of 'time passing by' makes me think about the future. or rather, my future. not really about what am i going to do and all that kinda stuff, but rather what kind of person i will become. Life has always been carefree for me. But i guess, carefree is inversely proportional to age. Still it doesn't mean i'm not completely carefree now, i think i will always remain that way, just that less of it lah. but for now, i think i'm still mostly carefree lah. that is why i find fun in almost everything. How was exams? fun. How was EE? fun. How was this and that? FUN! and i think that because of what i'm made of, i'm generally a happy, optimistic person.

anyways, i think i've found THE lifelong hymn for myself. its the kind of song you usually hear at funerals. go guess what it is lah. clue : Irish.



=)

Grace is gone

was watching this over breakfast at medan abt 2 days ago. didn't know the title, but found out later on lah. didn't get to watch the whole thing, but i can tell its a good movie.

one part of the film made me realize something: that after people leave, the one thing that their loved ones would miss the most is hearing their voice.

there was this part where the father didn't know what to do with his two girls, and so he calls home while on a roadtrip. Obviously no one was at home, so the answering machine told him to leave a message. But, that automated voice that greeted him was that of his late wife. and he went like "i just called because i missed hearing your voice.."

gosh. i get emo when things that i really care about gets taken away. and i think i would be one who'll prolly lose the will to live if my partner ever leaves before me. or that man who cried like a baby at his wife's funeral. but yeah, i'll just leave thoughts as they are lah.

anyway, on a not so morbid note, its like the season of departures now. not that i'm emo about it, but rather i just realize the loss now. people that you got so used to seeing and hanging out together, are now a thousands of miles away. man, they are so irreplaceable!? despite the many friends you have around you, its just different without them. i guess thats why all my friends are such a huge part of me. =/ yes, i do feel the tug when you guys leave left.

but yeah, facebook makes life better. and that song 'never alone' too.

always late?

i have issues with punctuality. and i need help. so far, this ad has been instrumental in suggesting help. enjoy:

i loved the third one lah xD cracks me up everytime i watch it. oh and the 2nd part of the video's about something else d (the one abt toilet paper).

had japanese buffet today. awesome stuff! think ly might blog abt it. go see her blog =P

and after you're done deciphering and reading those HOT STUFFS, you can begin..

in a seperate case (and more sober tone):

i promise myself NEVER to have anymore last minute "THURSDAY NIGHT SPECIAL!!" because she will call me mad after she reads this and i'll freaking diee the following die. <----omg. see? i can't spel day correctly o.0 and i promise myself to read up for crazy assignments like this, and not leave it for a stressed filled frenzy hellofatime doing it the day before submission. NEVER. DO. IT. AGAIN. unless of course, Monash forces me to do so (which they don't because they care for you wan) HAH! depending on how much you pay i guess.

and you must be thinking where or how did i get the books from. got it from Monash's Library. picture this. guy walks in empty handed. walks out with FIVE freaking HEAVY books. NERD GILER SIAL. bleh.

so why waste time to blog? jee i dunno. because i just wanted to destress before going clubbing with my assignments (all night longg). =D

p/s: i've gotta feeling (woohoooo!) that tonight's gonna be a good night!! ohh goodnight lah.

pp/s : drew if you're reading this. apply powerthirst enthusiasm to it. =D

whats not to love about you?

today God tested my ice-cream hypothesis. its not that i had a really bad day or any of that sort, its just that i'm having a sick day.

sick meaning i have sore throat (and stuff that makes me think i've aH1N1). so yeahh, maybe its a bad day lah, but the point is.. even if it is a bad day, i can't have ice-cream cuz it'll make my day sicker. so woohoo God, point taken.

i noticed today (saturday) was quite unusual for me. because i never had a free-er saturday than today. reason being i am sick lah. and because of that, i had to miss alot of things.

morning
missed morning prayer
miss football

afternoon
thankfully i made it alive to 365 and worship practice earlier.

evening + night
missed andrew's farewell
missed going to free tenji's japanese buffet (cousin's farewell)
missed avinesh's farewell


sigh. being sick isn't cool sometimes. altho now i've acquired a temporary sexy voice, i still would give that back for japanese food T.T and yeah, to those ppl whose farewell i missed, i'm really sorry for not being able to make it! =(

and so i'm here blogging when yall are having a great time! sad child.. and yeah. thats my saturday so far. i shall go for dinner now alone and wallow in self pity and die. lol.

well despite all this, altho my day might be sickly, i still think i had an awesome day! and the only reason for it is because..

..'this is the day that the Lord has made, we (i) WILL rejoice and be glad in it.'

-Psalms 118:24

p/s : its more effective than my ice-cream theory.

the 12 tribes

ignore the title of the youtube video. it has nothing to do with its content.

was just looking up david pawson in google, and found this video. yes the title made me curious, and so i watched it. turns out to be nothing as what the title suggested. give it a good listen! really really good stuff.



he talks like a physicist! i really thought he was one.good stuff right? check out 3:23 for the anisotropic jewels. i'm sorry if the science part is a blur, he's just trying to say that in pure light condition, only the 12 jewels becomes extra colourful! whereas the others like diamonds and all don't. =)


Revelations 21 : 19-20
And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.


so i guess thats where the name jacintha comes from.

anyways, i just can't imagine anyone writing off what he just said as coincidence. isn't it too much for one?
