love actually

i seem to be bloggin alot dis hols. enjoy it while it lasts.. cos come sch n i'll prob be bloggin once 1 week only.

u noe, nowadays... we seem to be hit by dis syndrome i like 2 call coupling. i dun mean sex... but most ppl seem 2 be going out in pairs now; holding hands, kissing, hugging... canoodling in cinemas... u noe, the like. not as if it hasn't been going on for centuries... milleniums even. guess it's part of growing up... more n more of my frens r going to the other side (not dat it's a bad thing), leaving me n the other "singles" acting nonchalant but still wondering wuts it like on the other side. i wudden noe, haven't been there. of cos, speakin from experience (now, i'm bein totally honest here aight) , havin a fren cross over to "the other side" (haha, enuff said) is almost like losing a fren. altho thet person trys to include u in their world or try to make it seem as ntg has changed... inevitably, things do change. it can't go back to how it seemed as b4 anymore. try as u migt, now there's the other half to consider... i wud jz be the "3rd person"; the lampost . besides... three's a crowd eh?

i also realize that yeah, i sound kinda bitter. but hey, wouldn't u be if u were jz pushed aside after yrs of friendship jz because...? nono.. not pushed away, but sometimes, i kinda feel left out. obliterated from their world.

i believe n continue to believe dat there's some1 for everyone. it's jz a matter of time b4 u find him/her. but i'm still mulling over the spinster/bachelor issue tho. having said that, dun u think dat we're jz made to reproduce (and yes, to praise God, but not in dis contex)...? i mean, all dis searching 4 love, dating, courting, impressing ppl.... doesn't it ultimately lead to reproduction? omgosh... am i stepping on taboo ground? cos God did say "Go forth and multiply" (my version, can't rmb the ori version) in the bible... . so...?

:children: kids: offspring: anak: babies: kin: spawn:
when all's said and done, i'm not too sure if i want kids in the further future. get married? sure. but kids r another thing altogether.

old times

i miss the isca times. n i noe most of the old ppl (ex-isca-ians) do too. ahh.. da gud n bad ol' times. isca was really a placed where i belonged... where i identified with, where i grew up in. and now... isca is jz a past, slowly fading, leaving bits n pieces left in my storage memory abt to be pushed back to make room for new ones. let me think of wut i can scratch up from the dust...

well, i can rmb...
1. a certain someone (no names mentioned) whom i guess had a growth spurt and cudden quite coordinate his movements quite well... hehe... sumhow, dat person was always banging into things, hurting himself... poor boy.

2. another individual, who unwittingly and singlehandedly broke his guitar neck. bravo hercules!

3. lotsa perli-ing (teasing) esp abt 2 ppl called j* and A*. i think in the game of tembak-ing & perli-ing, no one was spared. not in the least MUA... but let's not get into it.

4. guitar lessons.... we gals went thru teacher after teacher after teacher... the list goes on. then came josh.. u've heard it b4...yadda, yadda... n we used to make up silly stories of him n his 'wives' erm, guitars...( musician lingo) .

5. ping-pong sessions. when we gals (esp me) scrambled to secure the better pp table from the guys, namely, bk & co. n come in sweaty n stinky after many rounds of pp. i like pp... it's the only game i play relatively ok... . any1 willing to play wiv me?

6. games, lotsa games. n who can forget tt time when j* n J* banged each other in da stomache n felt flat on their posterior during watchmen & rattlesnake? hehehe... so lawak. i cud almost hear da *boing* sound in my head. of cos, dat's jz pure exaggerated me.

7. the football times- our all star *ahem* gals futsal squad.
place: annexe
time: b4 & after isca
ball: basketball
lame huh? but we had fun. and the reactions caused... i quote ; " wah! gals oso can play ar?" followed by quizzical stares of disbelief, "hahaha.... gals who play football... not bad ah!", " eh, pastor, look... all gal football team".

the fast & the furious {in the making}

some ppl haf already done it... basically, every1 has to go thru it... n of all days.. i picked today (060606) to do it. but at least, i came, i answered n i passed! so, it wasn't dat bad... anyway, i'm not superstitious...so... ohkay... u mz be thinkin if i'm alrite or not so since i'mbabblin away without making head or tail of it.

hehe... i sat for my undang test today. the first of 2 tests to actually legally drive. dis driving thing is a real drag... i mean, the kursus was so-darn-boring (i was sleepy throughout the whole thing) , and now dis... well, i did pass... and at the 1st attempt (hehehaha). but i guess i hate it cos i've gotta go thru it all alone. every single step of it cos i cudden get any of my frens o join me. how sad. n i'm not really sucha sociable person to start conversing wiv ppl i dun noe....

so now, i've got like 1 more kursus, 10 hrs of prac (which actually means, scarin the ass off my drivin instructor wiv my witless driving, i haf a hunch dat i'll be awfully "gud" at driving), n then it'll be me bein scared witless when i go 4 my prac driving test later. think i can pass?? well, i better, cos heck! i sure wanna drive... n i'm vry sure my parents dun wanna be my personal (foc) drivers anymore. nvm.. denise, if others can do it, y not u?

outings & co.

ahh.... back home wiv my comp. i really dunno if it's jz a technical prob or dat my comp has harboured a secret (make it not so secret) grudge against me. man, the dumb machine is acting up again. issshhhh..... so frustrating.

anywaaaayyyy.... (gosh, y am i draging my words?), let's not get carried awwwaaaayyyy (okok, i'll stop)... [interruption by the neighbour's kid who keeps on revvin his bike n racing along the streets even tho it's almost 11. like, HEL-LO.... didn't any1 tell u dat petrol prices r rising?? & it ain't vry cool to disturb ppl's peace at 11 at night... loser!]

okokayy... interruptions aside...
ahaha, i had so much fun yesterday n today too. not to sound gloating or too patronizing, yeah, i can pretty much say i did haf a gud time. well, yesterday, after yas, went for supper with melvin, ben, bu ken, shawn n my sis. actually, it wasn't like, a planned thing. me n sis got lucky, dat's all... u see, we had no transport back from yas, so, melvin (who drives now) generously agreed (amidst a bit of persuasion on my sis part) to drop us home. we ended up eating supper wiv those mentioned above cos they car-pooled . n the real weird part was, there were like, 3 pairs of siblings. me & sis, ben & melvin, bk n shawn... surreal eh? ended up at BED (it's a bar-cum-cafe, okok.. it's practically a bar), definately not my idea. i think we were the youngest ppl there.. haha... startin young. but of cos... we bein the kuai ppl we are... didn't touch the alcohol at all... had vry innocent drinks (yea, but horrendously overpriced) and watched some football (friendly between england and jamaica) and played cards (now that... is a story in itself).

it was fun to hang out wiv ppl i usually don't. pretty cool ppl if u noe them better. haha... nxt time we'll go to FACES ok?

and today...
went out to celebrate ka's b'day actually. tho, i'm not really sure if she did haf a gud time or not. hope she did, cos, well... u noe, it's her b'day outing afterall. did the usual... ate, movie (x-men), and walked a tinee lil' bit.
wut can i say? watch x-men!!! it's vry watchable... n well, considering dat the last film i watched was da vinci code, this is like comparing forest gump to scary movie. n if u mz noe... i absolutely HATE scary movie. haf u ever seen a more cheapskate movie in ur life? discounting porn n B Grade movies... i think not. not that i ever watched porn. eww... hate that stuff. now, how did i get to movies....
enuf said n done. i did enjoy myself.

random pics

simple product of photoshop. yea, simple cos i'm currently still bad at it. photo of us last christmas in our church's annual christmas concert.

log 2

~from where i left off~

still from the same day
went shopping later. u see, my hotel's like jz beside midvalley megamall, so of cos, it had to be our 1st stop. by that time (n havin had no lunch), we were all ravenous. went 2 nando's to replenish n then 'VIVA LA SHOPPING' ! saw a roxy bag that i so liked, but then, for economy's sake, i didn't buy it. so gud of me yea?

the nxt day (30.5.06)
shopping again. i like shopping, but to a certain extent. i mean, once u get tired n ur feet aches... it kinda takes the whole fun of shopping together wiv it. of cos, dat is until u see dat 'purrrrfect' shirt or pants or wtv. haha. we did 1 Utama (rather throughly), IKEA (throughly) and ikano power centre (not througly at all) . my feet ached like crazy all day long. it's no joke, i can tell you.

1 Utama gets my 5 star rating. so, if ur thinkin of going to kl 4 shoppin... u noe where 2 go. though, the downside was dat i did get rather sick of losing my way n walkin in circles cos dat place was so huge n so darn confusing.

wed (31.5.06)
went for 1 last round of last-minute-shopping at midvalley. like i said, we live a walk away. n later, check-out n balik kampung (oh, thank God it isn't really a kampung or i might jz suffer, no nice toilets... ). but dat's not sayin dat i dun wanna go for mission trips (more abt dat later), i DO!
it's jz dat it's a short term thing n i'm SO attached to my toilet at home. dun give me dat weird look. at least it's clean n not foul smellin for one.

so, we went home. n then my mom got into such a horrid mood (dun ask y, i dun noe myself) n things were let's jz say, 'not so sweet' for awhile.

today
did my acc hw n wrapped antz prezzie. ahh.... i feel so useful. tee-hee.... n then, when i took my dog out, i kicked a stick n cut my feet. had to limp home. but i'm not here for sympathy so...

dat's it. i'm done logging my days. n do read it n show me dat my efforts weren't in vain k...

log1

i've jz come bac from kl. when i think of it... all i can rmb is all the walking, shopping, eating, walking, walking & shopping again. hehe. anyway, i'm gonna write it in log style so it's easier 2 collect n note down my thoughts. right?

sat (27. 5. 06)
IGNITE! man, were we sizzlin.... haha... i dunno abt da sizzlin part, but yea, as part of de worship team this time, we were HOT for God. if i can say so meself. well, in the morning (early, vry early)... got up to go 4 prac which started an hour earlier. well, wut2do? we had like almost 10 songs to prac n reprac. so... anything 4 God. n yea... we spent hours n hours jz gettin it right n my voice was horse from all dat singing (n not 2 mention tryin not 2 let alex's *ahem* vry loud voice drown all of us). had lunch err... tea wiv sab n steph (at least, steph n i ate n sab jz talked). had a vry meaningful convo wif them . erm, n haha, gushing over joshua ang part of da time (sab n urs truly). wut?? don't give me dat pitying look. i appreciate beautiful ppl ok...

anyway, back to ignite. yea, nightfall n it happened. wut happened? well, ignite of cos. we sang, sang, sang... jump, jump, jump n prayed. n it's really wonderful to be part of da team to help ppl connect wiv god.. ya noe? i can see it from a different perspective n yea... let's jz say it was a real eye-opener.

sun (28.5.06)
ntg much today. cept dat i did not haf chem tuition. YAYY!!!!! altogether a lazy sunday spent relaxing n (for 20 minutes) packing for my trip. called it a night rather early (12 sumthin) , okok, it was early for me anyway.

mon (29.5.06)
THE day. woke up late. left late too. haiya.. m'sian time mah! lol, actually, we left a lot later cos we heard that there was a jam on pg bridge. so....

12.00- on the rd... driving (not me, my dad) n passing trees after trees n some kampung houses. oh, MORE trees n the the ocassional reststop. gosh! how i dislike the scenery from the highway. not scenic, not pleasing n VRY dull (except for da limestone hills in perak). as u can obviously see, i'm not much of a kampung gal. ok, make dat not at all.

3.00pm- more trees.... *groan* oh is dat...? oh, no it isn't.

reached kl at approx 4. but my dad spent another hour trying to find the hotel. kl rds... ugh! n imagine, i'll be suffering on these dire rds soon enuff nxt yr. well, we finally checked in (no, dat's not right) my mom (who was there earlier for sum seminar thingie) checked in 4 us earlier. went up to our room n *exclamations of......disgust? horror?* da room.. ! let me tell u, the room was so tiny dat even my room at home is abt da same size (minus the hotel toilet). n we had only ONE double bed. can u imagine it? ONE double bed for 4 ppl. gosh it was awful! but i can't complain bcos i got 2 sleep on da bed. hehe.

-to be continued-

*gasp*

jz look at wut pris did n sent me.... it's so.... there r too many (gud) adjectives to describe it dat i won't even try. i mean, jz look at it. joshua ang looks... (again) too many adjectives.

so wonderful yea...
