Counting my blessings

The most effective way to happiness is to count your blessings.
Thank God...

1. I live in the middle of the buzzling city.
All the convenience and hustle-free moments, how can i forget?
I can walk to Cathay and catch a movie in the middle of the night; I can fulfil my urge of shopping just in 5 minutes at Bugis Junction; I can cross the road to SimLim and get my printer inks; etc.

2. I live in a 3-room flat with so many people!
That makes us talk to each other and spend time with each other more. Love it when all of us sit tgt and get amused by our baby cousin.

3. I have all I need
I don't have a lot of money, but by God's grace, I have my laptop, my clothes, my sleeping place, my own table and many more. I am fully fed and was never starved. I can enjoy many outings without much difficulties.

4. I have a bunch of heart-to-heart best buddies, which are REBELS!
Known them since Sec1, and never want to get out of this fun and heart-warming group of friends. They never fail to invite me to outings even after receiving tons of my decline due to church. Whenever we meet, we always have never ending stuff to talk about. They will understand my problems and sms me now and then to comfort me and encourage me. And I know if I ever need a friend, I can have 9 of them to rely on. :) rebels rocks!

5. Of course, my lovely boyfriend.
He looks rather fierce and is bad-tempered at times, but if you look beyond all that, he is actually a very gentle guy. His fantastic points: good sense of direction, understanding, spontaneity, fun-loveliness, good planning, sensitivity and etc. Often we spend time together, reminiscence about our childhood and doing things that we like. For example, going to the arcade as if we are little children, sitting in a cafe and reading our own books, shopping in a supermarket, eating deserts behind Bugis Junction, me riding on his bike and going to many places, etc.

6. my beautiful teens cell.
I still remember the first time I met all of them. I really didn't know what to do because I was still so lost getting back from Shui. They were not exactly gelled tgt very well at that time. Sharing time was hard. But gradually, I begin to feel for the cell, to start praying fervently for them. And I see changes happening. Little by little, hurdle by hurdle, my cell begins to grow. Not exactly in numbers, (but we do have some visitors now and then) but in spirit. They mature and begin to understand things. They begin to opwn up and share things that the cell can pray for tgt. They are often my reason for smiling.

7. my tuition kids
They're really smart. But careless. haha! Nellis, Xuanyun(ex-tuition kid) and Andrew, you're doing great in your studies. I love to teach them, whenever they 'get it', I feel so satisfied. :) Tutoring is tiring especially during my exam period which is also theirs as well, but I truly feel happy whenever they know how to do the sums. Brilliant!

The list can go on and on... But all in all, it is God that I want to say Thank You! Because of You, all these blessings are made possible. Because of You, I have joy, not just happiness, overflowing out of me, no matter what I face. :)

You are the best!

King Raja!

Adpated from the Snow White Legend, 'Blood and Snow'.

I am the King! What I want to know is, will my daughter perform the funeral ritual. And if she doesn't, I'll have to find a suitable excuse for the people... I'll just say...

So... you... Doesn't she look like... My word, Truthsayer, isn't there a striking resemblance?

What is your name? I am King Raja.

Haha! Yea man, I'm going to be King for my Theatre Studies module practical exam!!!

So... Here's my costume that I intended to wear... (Borrowed from my boyfriend. =))



Haha! And some funky poses.

Discoveries!

2. Stitch's girlfriend is ANGEL!

I think I'm too stress...

Calculator & Maluku

This is my favorite calculator. It was my first calculator as well.
I had been using it since sec1, but unfortuantely it has been faulty since sec4.
And I have to get a new one. But the new one isn't the same as the old one.
For anybody who minds about their calculator, you'll know what I mean.

Even though the new one has more functions, but still I cannot forget this calculator.
Till now, even though this calcluator has been spoilt for 3+ years, it is still with me.
And today I have decided to throw it away.

Sometimes it is good to be sentimental, but now there is really no use keeping it.
I suppose even if I keep it for the rest of my life, it will not be an antique worth even hundred.

I will miss you my dearest calculator.


Maybe my studies have really been getting into me, I'm rather crazy these few days.
Stress... Who says uni is easy?!

But still owing to a group of maluku dance teman-teman below, I have conquered the Cultural Night! Yeah!

Haha! We took Bahasa Indonesia and we have to select an activity to perform on Cultural Night. And all of us took Maluku Dance!
It's very fun, sweaty and risky! You never know when the bamboo is going to 'kiap' your pretty feet!

But it was really fun! That's our ibu-ibu with us.

This is bad...

It's easter week and I haven't got a chance to quieten myself out of the buzzy world.

I wish I can have a whole world of time.

As someone said

Work
as if you don't need money.

Love
as if you have never been hurt.

Dance
as if no one can see you.

Sing
as if no one can hear.

Live
as if the world is a heaven.

Aduh! Saya tidak boleh...

i love Bahasa Indonesia! Woo! Take it as a module this sem.
The Ibu-s are really kind. It seems like all Indonesian women are so softspoken and gentle.

But then it makes me realise the huge difference between my visual and aural abilities!
I can read and totally understand the language,
but when it comes to listening...
My gosh! It's like 'huh?! what?!'
If you doubt if I tried my best, I'm telling you i really did! every time!
But I just can't help it.

When the recording begins to play,
I will gear my ear towards the recorder literally!
And good news is I can catch about 30% of the words, so i can like guess the content...
But bad news is I totally miss the 70%... haha!

But when Ibu distributes the written copy of the recording, I was like 'Ah!!! So I see...' haha!
I can almost understand it immediately!

visual visual.
I'm a total visual person.
