joined Chia's youth last last night. its a very, how should i put it? compact? a very compact and close-knit fellowship, the people there are great, very easy going and talkative (talkative is important, if everyone is quiet like me, things will get really boring)
and the bonus is, i get to meet chia's infamous ah ko~ haha, she's been going on and on about what a great bro angkat she has but i never really can imagine until i gwt to know how he looks like n how he's like in person. he's a fatherly knd of leader. very very nice!
another bonus, haha, i get to meet the "principal of free city" (chia, do u think anyone will figure out this one?)
days still go by innocently, worthlessly, wastefully, uselessly, unppreciated, unavoidably, unnecessarily, carelessly, senselessly, mindlessly, drowsily, easily (sometimes not so easy) but today i finally did something out of the norm, (meaning besides sleep n eat n tv n bath n sunday service) i decided to looked up and learn about things that i dont know. and today i looked up for obama.
n wat i learned today?
his name is barrack (used to be called barry for short but told not to)
his wife's name is michelle
he has two daughters and one of them is called sasha (short for natasha)
n he's borned in honolulu
his dad was a kenyan
n i read nothing bout his political schemes and deeds, cz i m not into politics, but maybe i ll read tomoro, since i m reading for information n my main objective is to learn things i dont know.
n i searched for the word sharon. 72,600,000 search results and more than 5,000 images came out. talk about the distinctive and uniquness of existence. i wonder.
suddenly, i miss my students, very much. and also my teaching days. can i go back? if only...
i really miss them...
What can I do with my 6-week-long holiday?
So far, what I had been doing was:
1. Sleeping.
2. Catching my beauty sleep.
3. Taking naps.
4. Eat.
5. Eat for fun.
6. Breakfast.
7. Lunch.
8. Dinner.
9. TV.
10. TV.
11. More of TV…
(mind you, 1, 2, 3 are not the same and 4, 5 , 6, 7, 8 are also very different k)
That’s why, I think my life like that isn’t going to work. So…
I came up with this list:
1. Read all the books I wanted to read. But on top of my to-read-list at the moment is the whole eclipse collection. And that means money money money! And I cant find any electronic versions of the book online. Bummer~
2. Learn a new language. But I have limited resources and there’s really no distinctive purpose in doing so. It’s not like that I’m migrating or anything. And even if I master a particular foreign language, I cant communicate with people around me to practice anyway. So sooner or later I’ll un-master the language, and that equals to – wasting my time and energy.
3. Build up my body. As in gaining stamina, keeping healthy and fit, master exercising skills, master certain sports like: jogging, badminton, basketball, etc. etc. At least this is beneficial, I will get a healthier body in the end. But I don’t see the point because after going back to UTM, I will definitely slack down again. So, that equals zero also.
4. Learning to cook. This is important for my grade also actually. I’m taking catering for my co-curriculum next semester and the credits are counted also. So, at the same time I can cultivate my interest and skills, right? But that only takes like a small portion of my time everyday. Because I need my mom to teach me anyway. Hmmm…
And I’m out of ideas. I am bored to death already…
Will really appreciate it if anyone out there wants to share some smart ideas… yeah, I’m really that desperate
i really don't like it, having to handle many many difficult things in very very limited time. and people ( parents) keep nagging at your back telling u this telling u tat, because they are worried that u will miss out this one mis out that one... i need a break.
still on my to-do list:
- fill in forms
- medical check-up ( scheduled tomorrow)
- open CIMB bank account (tomorrow morning oso)
- pay school fees via CIMBclicks
- certify offer letter(s) (tuesday)
- taking passport-sized photos
- ptptn loan
- getting my supplies
today she was talking about following Jesus. she started by asking, how many of u have followed Jesus for more than 25 years? a few shot their hands up.
then she asked, less than 10 years? no one put their hands up this time.
she did not come to my category. but, even if she does, will i raise my hand?
that question lingers, because i have no answer. i am a christian, if your definition of one is someone who goes to the church every sunday, receives the holy communion, pray before meals... yeah i am one. but, am i really one to God?
the pastor's wife, her name is liew chi ming. she then went on, categorizing christians she knew.
- those who knows much bout God and sees His grace as something easy to come by
- those who sees God's grace as something valuable and worth sacrificing for
those in the second category, they lead a different life after receiving God's abundant and precious grace. they change, so as to reply God's grace, because they want to, because God's grace is tat great.
sometimes we refuse to think of all these, ignoring the seriousness. this world ain't going to last forever. and our period on earth is short. think, where do u want to go, and constantly remind yourself, God's grace, and the sweetness of eternity in Christ.
okay, IPTA admission result was out on wednesday! thanks to soonkiong (i checked via the link in your blog) so i get to check in the middle of the night.....
after making a few mistakes in typing the angka giliran, trembling all the way, i peeked through slits of my almost squeezed closed eyes....
...........
..............
UTM.
This is one of my experimental choices!!!! I don't even know what's the course about...
after the shock, i woke my parents up, booked plane tickets (yes in the middle of the night), practically called up everyone i know...
Su Chern
Sia Yuen
Wei thing
Chia Yin
Jayne (did i call jayne or did jayne call me?)
Chee Yuan
Wee Mee
these were the only ppl who picked up my call in the middle of the night! so i know who to call in emergencies next time~
then it suddenly hit me, NO ONE i know is going to UTM!!!!!
everyone seems to be heading to UKM, UPM, USM, UMS....
what should i do? what should i do???? i m positive this is what that cause my insomnia... slept round four thirty and woke up before seven~
then i heard tat Sue's heading to UTM as well!!!! YEAH!!! YIPEE!!! finally~
so now, i m in the midst of preparations, clothing, documents, more documents, and mre documents....
what is kain labuh?
te dressing code is so strict, making uni life sounds like secondary school, where the students are not allowed to dye their hair, accessorize, wear clothes they like... ( are we allowed to wear jeans? ) they might as well gave us uniforms! just to make things easier...
even tho i m not contended in many ways, i'm actually looking forward to the whole thing~ uni life should be a blast! hope i get to enjoy while it lasts!
