end of sem

wee~

tomorrow's my last class and last assignment for this sem.
i've got to give a speech on my experiences in that class etc. i'm just afraid of 2 things:

1. i get nervous and start to babble on and on which will cause me to stumble over all of my words. cos i talk fast when i'm nervous.

or 2. i blank out and forget everything that i've planned to say.

but, hopefully not!


anyway, a lil happy news.

i did a radio commercial a few weeks back. one of my many assignments. and and and and and.... it was chosen as one of the top 4 best in my class. yay happy me *beams*. praise God! weee~
you know... sleeping a lot is actually good (for me la... i dunno about you). the idea for my commercial came to me when i was sleeping. a lot of ideas come to me just before i sleep. i guess that's when i'm at my most creative. haha. so i should sleep more.

oh gosh! that would make me a pig.

today's one of my freeest days in weeks. class cancelled, no homework or assignments to do (well, i do have a few more but i can't do them today...). so i'm utterly and completely free for the night. unfortunately no dates from anybody. nevermind, i shall enjoy myself at home being gluttony with fattening and sugary food. yah, i'm a health fanatic's nightmare.


so my sis bought some t-shirts from the web... i was in my money saving mood then so i didn't want to buy any when she asked. but now when they're here... aiks, a bit of regret. just a bit. teeny-weeny bit. there was a black kimono top i really wanted, but "we must not waste unecessary money on things we don't need". sounds familiar? yeah parents. but i understand where it's coming from. money=hard to earn. so buying stuff i want but don't need... forget it! but it's ok... *smiley* i have everything i could possibly want already. i'm so blessed, i don't need things to make me happy.


i love free evenings. not all the time.
the possibilities of what i could do are endless. wheee~

when it all falls down, look up

hehe just trying out illustrator. i'm bad at it marh...

...

but i do believe in it. when everything falls down, look to God. He's in control. yeah, i'm learning to let my Creator write my life for me. i'm learning to let go of always being in control. saya control freak.

it's a pretty exhilirating ride!

pictures from my scrapbook...

we only get to use a handycam. still kiddies. lol





director looking happy... wonder why...?


it's all about asking the right questions. listened to a lot of opinions this week.



this week has been all about stooting and locations. i anticipated a long and tough and unpleasant week, yes it was pretty long and tough, but not unpleasant. we did have some group conflict the week before shooting but thank God that we managed to pull through together this week.


i'm calm like the sea now :)




i was going nuts on tues. became really, a not nice person... but then, certain things (i won't say what) made me realise that my problem is only so small. and it's partly self created. so i'm trying not to think too much about it and just go with it. so far so good.




i don't like interviewing but i like to take pictures


going on location is kinda fun. you learn stuff that is outside the classroom, and i have to say... it's so much funner than being in a classroom. and i realised how sheltered my life has been. how blessed i am. anyway, our scope included:

breakdancer

beggars

this lady is 97 years old and she doesn't look it. she's still pretty fit for her age.

doing this assignment gave me insight on different viewpoints. everyone has their own story to tell. we got to listen to opinions from every side which is really cool. for example, not all beggars think of themselves as beggars (they just do it to pass time), not all beggars are lazy (but most are le), not all beggars are thankful for the food people give them (there's a lot of wastage and they don't like chicken rice or char bee hoon)...

but still... what an experience!

and our last scope...

pasar malam.

unfortunately, no pictures. i forgot to bring my cam there. i would like to take this opportunity to thank my hottie and jer for being sporting enough to be interviewed. hehe. ok that sounded formal.

but you know what the best part of this whole thing was??

the free stuff! hahaha

nah i'm just kiddin!

only 2 days of weekends, WHY?

i love weekends.

i love love weekends.

i love love love weekends.

weekends means rest (though some of my weekends are even busier than my weekdays, like last week), time for friends, church, outings, siesta, family, NO COLLEGE...

ok you get the picture.

during the weekdays, you're bombarded with deadlines, assignments, projects, meetings, lecturers, classmates, colleagues, bosses...

and then you're bombarded with more assignments, meetings and projects which means you have to sacrifice personal time to do, scoldings, stress, people who don't like you, people you can't work with, people who backstab you, people who make you mad, people who're mad at you... the list goes on and on and on.


thank God for weekends is all i can say. a (too) brief break from all the craziness of studying and work. at least i have time to rejuvenate and restore myself before i go out again to face the world. and that's why i love saturdays so much. cos i spend most of it in church. yeah it gets hectic and tiring sometimes especially if i have too many practices, but still... i love being in God's presence and being with people who love Him.


well tomorrow's a monday and i'm still not ready for 5 stressful days of slogging yet.

...

but in everything, give thanks.

(i've gotta keep reminding myself of that)

still life

things we always take for granted

~

thank goodness for rice cookers, electric kettles, stairs and specs.

this and that

qian, mel and i were contemplating the moon last night after bible study. everyone had gone and we were waiting for somebody. you know those cartoons with a full round moon and a cute cloud below it? yeah it was exactly like that. breathtaking. i wished i could reach out and touch it.

then the clouds changed their shape.

i wouldn't mind waiting for the bus under such pretty trees

haha yes that was just random. i feel like writing, but my thoughts are unconnected and so... this is going to be an unconnected post.



col is... tolerable still. i expected to have a mountain of work and be super busy... but surprisingly, it's still bearable. i want to relax but then, i'm afraid to cos i don't want to save all my work til the last minute and go crazy then. 1 month and 1 week more to sweet sweet hols. i really need them. i'm just hanging on now, but thankfully the rope i'm holding on to is pretty strong.





hmm... what else is new? on the home front, my tortoise is still missing (i hope not eaten already) and the lazy fat-ish sara's doing great.

as you can see...

and i'm recovering from a flu and sore throat. hopefully in time for bbq steamboat tomorrow!! i know i can't resist it if everyone's eating sizzled beef and you-know-what-you-put-in-there; while i can only go vegetarian... that, and i'm eating for free summore (on behalf of the mass comm society's fund). so of cos i must make full use of it lar. haha i'm still m'sian so... 'if it's free, eat more'.





i miss half-day trips. wanna go someplace... but it's a busy time for a lot of people now. and i can't think of anywhere as yet. there's still a lot i haven't really seen in penang.

no i'm not selling land

like the time we strolled campbell street (anyway i think it was there)... looking at pg from the eyes of a tourist. i mean, yes i'm born and lived here my whole life... but i've never actually walked the roads just taking in the sights. by car, plenty of times... but walked, never. so it was really fun.

i'm geting sleepy. it's lunchtime and i'm sleepy.

i have a sudden craving for choc pudding donuts (is that what it's called??) from dunkin's.

sending out subliminal messages: "buy for me buy for me buy for me laaaaa..."

just kiddin!

and have a nice day :)

waking up happy

this is the verse that gets me going most mornings when i feel just like crawling back to bed and snoozing for the next 2 hours.





"this is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it" (psalm 118:24)





seriously, the power of words... i find that the more i confess positive words like that, i actually am feeling what i confess.

being happy with happy people

and it's so easy to not feel emo and moody when you confess positively over yourself. at least i did. as some of you know, or guessed it, or don't know... i have been really really down, angry, moody, emo, you name it; for... i think over a month. which is for me, a really really long time. cos i'm generally a happy person (at least i'd like to think that way). and so... yeah i was really unpleasant to be with at that time, always tired and so on.





but now... praise God, the tide has turned. erm, in other words... saya sudah tak emo lagi. it's like... i'm more emotionally stable now. which is very good. yeah, there're times when i could turn moody, but then, somehow i feel that i can choose not to be. i'm happy now. not the deliriously crazy kinda happy, but more of the quiet steady kinda happy.

yeah new specs new specs. so don't ask me if i got new specs.

umm yeah, me and you

...

sometimes we get ".....?!?"

but most of the time we're " :) :) :) "

...

...

i'm so blessed to have you, jootatt quah.

...

God loves you, a lot of people love you, and i love you too
