A night spent with housemates, friends and my sister was worth while..a million thanks to chris, desmond, lydia and david for graciously organizing this merdeka celebration where we had "steamboat night" and the highlight of the night was the charade that we played as the finale of the night,remember? jeff’s octopus,david’s language, chris’ nurse, jia hui’s roller blade(ciplak from jeff) and so on and so forth.. A night full of laughter indeed though everyone was lethargic. Apart from having fun and being "lame" at our own jokes, we managed to spent a particular moment singing "sejahtera M’sia" which consisted two versions. On one hand,it reminded me the fine and beautiful illustration portrayed by our country and yet, it was a piercing pain to realize how corrupted our country was on the flipping side of it..all of us who came for that night, shared what we concerned most for the country and not forgetting what we relished most about our country. Ya,..all of us stood up too, singing our national anthem collectively with our mobile phones’ lights on..what a marvellous night of fellowship..=)
my blogspot has problem signing in..a few of my friends were asking me the other day why i didn’t even bother to update my blogspot since i have been so semangat of having a new one..im left helpless..does anyone know how to fix the problem for me?it took me quite some time to establish my own electronic journal and i wish i could have solved this problem as soon as possible otherwise i would have to create another new blog..

shalom!
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up rememberance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear’s time waste;
There can i drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death’s dateless night,
And weep afresh love’s long since cancelled woe,
and moan the expense of many a vanished sight:
Then can i grieve at grievances foregone,
and heavily from woe to woe tell o’er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All loses are restored and sorrows end.
-Shakespeare-
I am so amazed how he expressed his grief which mimes the reality of an intensed and a restrained grieving experiences.
The Paradox of our time in history is that
We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less;
we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,
laugh too little, drive too fast, get angry too quickly,
stay up too late, get up too tired,
read too seldom, watch TV too much,
and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We have learned how to make a living, but not a life;
we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour.

Phew!!it’s almost unbelievable that i was in the library from morning until around 6pm..wow, what a great experience for the first time throughout my 2 years in campus..ya, i know it’s kinda boring but thank God i met with some humurous and lame people over lunch time that has sort of brighten up my day..i laughed my head off seeing victor and kok how by observing their expression and the way they talked. Both personalities are eccentric of all the guys i have met thus far in pkv i think=)..i can’t help but to let you know that they ARE EXTREMELY LAME!!Though today was not that really fruitful, at least i have got the chance to stay away from internet and my comfortable bed!!otherwise i would have just wasted my time doing nothing..
Yes, when i reviewed photos of last Easter, it was as if everything just happened yesterday..Indeed, it’s another year going back to my home church building the huge cross. It’s a tradition among the youths and still survive until now..the process was exhausting and yet exciting because it rained that day and we couldn’t get flowers and grass but thank God He held the rain and let us finished. His unfailing grace has led us to see the miracle of completing the tough work..but it was He who strengthened us to make it through..I could still remember the first time i joined the youth group in my church to build this cross..it rained heavily too..but nothing could stop us because we were so "semangat" to do it for the Lord..guess what?..in the end we saw a wonderful rainbow and i was struck in awe..and felt the hard work worth it all..=) "have to salute my God"..His endless mercy reminded us His promise of not sending the great flood anymore..otherwise, we would have to build an ark instead of making the cross!!hehe..
It was also a non-stop eating session when i got back to my hometown…day and night, eat, eat, eat and eat…cos almost all my cousins were back..i was complaining to my mum..that i couldn’t tahan anymore..haha..cos she always complains that i am getting fatter each time i go back..haih..what to do..haha..well, have to go exercise more often then..(hey housemates,still semangat tennis?hopefully you are..you guys are the only hope..haha..sounds so pathetic)…but then i was a little bit upset when i looked upon my mother’s visage..she’s obviously getting old and i was worried and felt uneasy..i didn’t know why..I thank God that i was able to be with my parents and siblings..and good news that i received was dad got promoted again but have to travel more often with his boss around the whole Perak!!meanwhile im pretty unhappy cos he wont be around so often..Pray that God will sustain His health..
Yes, it’s a blessed week to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and the undying hope that comes from our great overcomer!!He has conquered the grave and i am not without hope!!Fears are gone and let Him reign!!
Well, well, well…undoubtedly, it was my birthday yesterday and i was so touched by the smses that i received the night before the actual day and also a phone call from my housemates singing.." We wish you a Happy Birthday, We wish you a Happy Birthday, We wish you a happy birthday and a happy birthday.." haih…i felt like i was so near to them in my heart but yet so far geographically because we were on the phone.. how i wish i could be at home at that moment=)I was not at home that night because i needed to stay at Christine’s place to finish up the drama props for next day..we only manage to sleep for only 3 hours…
The next day, exhaustion seep in and i couldn’t really concentrate on what i was doing..the whole yesterday’s morning, i was busy with memorizing lines. Later then, bringing a bevy of ladies to bathe and beautify themselves…phew!!..what an experience of performing drama. It was my first time to do a serious performance in front of my lecturer..but eventually it didn’t turn out successfully..well, it’s because i couldn’t memorize the lines well and anxiety flooded in when i was performing..partly also because we were the last group to perform and pressures welling up as preceding groups’ performance were superb!!I was so shameful to make so many mistakes in front of the audience..especially when i mistakably said "What the HELL?" instead of "What the devil…?"(which was the actual line)The music was not loud enough and lightings were unorganized.I felt so bad and apologetic to the audience who came.We took so long during the interval to change one scene to another because we had too many props i guess for each scene and in different setting.Even, one of my team members sobbed right after the performance ended..but..what is done is done..too bad. Actually i should be more optimistic under an overwhelming and inevitable series of unfortunate events such as this=) Undeniably, at least i have learned something out of all this process of producing a performance and got very encouraged by the lecturers.
After that, i went back straight after the performance because i felt so cranky..sleep deprivation has caused all these!!haha..
So, the next event took place in UT bus stop..i went down to meet up with a friend of mine. Though the time we spent chit chatting together was not that long, i felt unlike last time when i used to talk to this friend (so far as what i could recall)..this friend was like a long lost friend..i didn’t know where to begin..so many things that i would love to tell this friend of mine but too bad, i didn’t know where to start..haha,i was grateful because out of so many circumstances we were still able to meet up by the Grace of God. Anyway, i felt thankful for this person’s thoughtfulness..I appreciate your birthday wish and the gift that you gave. Andrew, thank so much for your sharing and may your journey be blest by the one above…Thank you for sharing your friendship and companionship to walk through different parts of this life’s journey together with me.
And now…*drums rolling..* and ta da!!!The ones whom have supported me most of the time and have given me courage and sharing their hopes when i was in the midst of hopelessness and helplessness were all the B208 housemates..how you have lent me your shoulder to cry on and offered listening ears to me which i would not want to forget for the rest of my life..out of bitterness all of you erica, desmond, lydia, chris, pui yee and jeff..have brought sweetness of hope and the strength to carry on..you guys really made me laughed a lot..and unfailingly be there for me when i needed someone to talk to..well, i just want to say a million of thanks also for celebrating my birthday last night.. and thanks for the hard work upon the unsuccessful prank that you wanted to play on me=) and also a wonderful, sumptuous dinner and ice cream that i could savour ya..as well as the gifts!Ya thanks for the unexpected movie and your legendary mercy+kindness to stay up and decided not to leave me alone in the cinema!I think all of you should take the paper im taking now!Drama!=)….but most of all i cherished the fellowship and companionship that all of you share and also thanks to the rest who came too..this moment will sink deep into my heart that enables me to see how good and great God is because i see it through what all of you have done(besides blindfolding me) and said to me..indeed it was a memorable celebration to me because it did not solely celebrate my birthday but also our friendship and of course God’s unending love is the every reason for us to celebrate!!
Hey hey…when God asks you to "STOP!",better listen to Him…cos he wants you to take a break..I think sometimes, in the midst of the journey, we will feel tired and somehow we have to go on..but wait, have you ever thought of giving a break to yourself instead of moving on but you don’t really know where you are going..or what you should do next?..Hmm..
