Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
Yes, I know I haven't been updating for a looooooong time but that's cuz I have nothing THAT interesting to write, yes college is great yeahdayeahda, then what?
Although...there is one point I would like to make to justify that school is better than college. The school gets 1 WEEK off but we only get 2 days!! Isn't it sad and disgusting to spend CNY in college when we could have gotten ang pows and food instead?? Ugh..
Anyway, I went to Penang, Kulim and Ipoh as usual. I got really pissed during the 2nd day of CNY when my cousin told me that he wants to stay at my house for 1 and a half years, going to the same college as I do!! And I'm not even that close to HIM cuz he has some serious issues (he told me that if he stays at my house, at least he would get to see my 'beautiful' face when he wakes up in the morning... SICK!! Hes my cousin doh!) Uhhhh...
But other than that, this CNY was good, got to see both my grandparents from Kulim and Ipoh. I have to say that I'm really thankful to have 2 sets of grandparents (sets, can I say that?) who are still alive. They bring cheer, laughter and copious amounts of food! For that, I am thankful to God that I can experience the joy that they bring into my life :)

One of the Boys
This was the plan:
Have a get together with Ming Yu and Nazran who came back from Aussie and UK respectively for the holidays. Called 4 girls and 2 guys join us.
The turnout:
Ming Yu, Jonathan and I
My reaction:
At 1st I was a lil anxious, scared that it would be a lil akward
The event:
It was fun! We did guys stuff, and surprisingly I enjoyed this new experience :P We went to a cyber cafe next to the cinema to play, u guessed it, Counter Strike! Haha, at 1st, I was shot dead a lot in the blizzard, but when I got the hang of it...... Nah, I didn't really get the hang of it! But, but... i did manage to kill some people. And my friends were pretty supportive despite the frequent deaths of yours truly :P
Then, we went to AnW and chatted a lot about life and computer games :P I'm not a computer gamer junkie but i like to hear about them, and anything that interest my friends. Haha, memories of the times that they were part of my school life filled my head :) Ahhh, those good old days.......
Went to play another round of Counter Strike and then headed to the arcade to play House of the Dead 4. It was sooo fun, but it was kinda tiring holding the plastic gun and shaking it for it to reload :P
Then played foosball and pool and Max Payne!
Haha, I really enjoyed myself! Moral of the story, it doesn't matter what we do with our friends, we will have fun anyway!

College Life
I was pretty scared going to college for the 1st time as I didn't know what to expect. Called Aveena a couple of times, contemplated on what to wear for minutes, tried to figure out what to bring....stuff like that. I made a promise to myself to be more sociable, truth is, I'm one of the most antisocial people you can find on the face of the earth. Surprisingly, I talked to some of the seniors who were part of the student council and I must say that they are really friendly. All along, I believed that most seniors were snobby and we as juniors are unworthy to be in their presence. Guess I was wrong, cuz they were soo nice!
Found out that I was in a different class compared to my schoolmates. How I felt?? Hmm, lets see, I was sad, annoyed and pissed (duh!) But because I'm a big believer in fate, I accepted what was given to me with a half hearted smile :\
Today is the 3rd day of college and I'm proud to say that I have made new friends, surprise, surprise! And of course, stick to the friends that I have known since secondary school. Despite the fact that the class is as cold as Antarctica, I really enjoy college. 100 times better than school! No uniforms, we can walk where ever we like, a 2 hour break, a game room, cute Caucasians, what more could I ask for??

A New Year
Well, looks like 2009 has started with a bang, by bang, I mean the fireworks that exploded with indescribable colours of brilliance.. okay forget the sentiment now, I am so freakishly sad, depressed and sleepy. After all the hard work and the countless amount of challenges that I have faced since 2008, its like i have to start all over again, another year, another 365 days of labour and strive. If only 2009 wouldn't come, if only December consisted of 50 days, if only if only.
As I gazed up to the sky, looking at the fireworks that displayed such happiness and optimism, I felt nothing. The wonderful display was a contrast as to what i felt deep inside me.
Another day of toil
Another day of suffering
Another day of loneliness
Another day of struggle
Another day of anger
Another day of sadness
Another day of misery
Yet, I should be thankful for another day that God has provided for me,
Another day of happiness
Another day of joy
Another day of thankfulness
Another day of prayer
Another day of hope
Another day of redemption
Another day to love
Hopefully, 2009 will bring me more joy instead of sorrow, to everyone who reads my blog, may you all have a blessed year ahead :)

DU COC Church Camp- Day 2
DAY 2
Didn't sleep well, woke up at 4 in the morning. Disturbed by coughing sounds in the room next to mine. Recharged myself by playing badminton and ping pong (my 1st time playing ping pong), then went to my friend's room to watch some Alvin & the Chipmunks, the fat little chipmunk was sooo cute! Didn't follow the adults that were going jungle trekking, cuz there are leeches in Pahang :P Instead, Zach, Sandra, Beverly and I went exploring on our own, along the road, were no leeches were to be found. There were some steep stairs that were leading up to a small hill so we decided to be all adventurous and went to see what was at the top of the hill. Turns out, it was some kind of praying site. There was a red looking pitch fork in the middle of the site and a can of beer next to it :P
Walked near the golf course and took some pictures of us and the scenery. When there were cars coming our way, Zach would take on the role as a traffic police, conducting traffic by whistling waving his hands like a pro. Haha, you should see the look of the drivers' faces, they probably thought that we were mentally retarded kids :P Then Zach decided to do that to a real police officer that was driving towards us. The policeman stopped. Oh no :P
Thank goodness he was friendly man, and asked my matsalleh friend where he was going and blahblahblah. Went back, for lunch and went out again to see a waterfall. Wanted to have scones at the Ye Olde Smokehouse but they were all full, wanted to have roti pisang at a malay store but they ran out of bananas. Mannn! Was contented with the cookies that I bought, ate them all. Had steamboat for dinner, then had devotion and singing. The devotion was about Daniel and his friends who stood up for what they believe in and were willing to be martyrs for they trusted in the Lord. Then we played charades and my team won! After that the youth stayed back to sing some songs. I learned this song, (the lyrics might not be 100% accurate)
"Love one another for love is of God
He who loves is born of God and knows God
Hes who does not love
Does not know God, for God is love
God is love"
And there were different lyrics for the sopranos, tenors and bases but when we sang it together, it felt so complete.

DU COC Church Camp- Day 1
Date: 22nd-24th of December
Venue: Pine resort, Frasers Hill
DAY 1
The 2 hour journey up to the hill was long, winding and nauseating, and the fact that my dad drove as fast he could didn't help either. Didnt reach the Gap on time (only 5 minutes late) so we had to wait for an hour before we could drive up to the resort. While I was waiting, I saw a group of youth hanging around and they started singing some church songs that were pretty familiar to me. On the back of a dude's shirt wrote:
PADANG PASIR CHURCH OF CHRIST
What are the odds :P
Was so happy to arrive at the resort, that was until I saw the lunch provided by the resort... mmm, unappetising. Took a break and then went out to play badminton. Headed to the tennis court too for the telematch hosted by the resort staff. The games that they made up were
*given 3 blocks of wood step on them without stepping on the ground and use them in a way that we can reach the finish line
* fill the bottle with water using a sponge ( how wet)
* dig out sweets from a bowl full of flour using our mouth (i was white for a day, and flour on your mouth doesn't taste good)
* two people facing each other need to carry the balloon to the finish line with their hands on their backs (my team won that challenge :))
Then had a break and played Counter Strike with my friend. I somehow had a hard time killing the terrorists, but they didn't have a hard time killing me :P Dinner was not as bad as lunch, but
I didn't eat much. Had devotion and singing, then played pictionary.

Just Rocky
Went to Hard Rock to have a birthday dinner with my parents. Never been to Hard Rock before but there wasn't anything special about the food there, just burgers (eww), sandwiches, meat, more meat, and different types of meat :P That place is crazy, a burger there costs RM30! 30 bucks for a freakin burger???! Now, I've seen everything!
I was so shocked to find two males in their late 50s and three teenagers ( judging from their looks) ages between 15 to 18 were drinking beer! Seriously, they let their kids drink beer?! What in the world is wrong with them?? Were the two elderly men drunk even before they started drinking or did the effects of alcohol in the long run damaged the function of their brain? Seriously, the world is becoming a twisted place, much worse than Sodom and Gomorrah?? Yes, wayyyy worse. I had to look at them in disgust, couldn't help it. Its like a picture of a disaster just waiting to happen. You know what, I'll take that back, NOW, I've seen everything!
