What's Your Problem?

A few of us went for the SAC Social Gathering last night. It was supposed to start at 6.30pm but it only started at nearly 8pm. Normal lah, Malaysians ma.. They had performances and lucky draws and food. The food was okay nia considering the fact that it's free. I stayed till around 10pm and I cabut la.. It was quite a good event and I did enjoy myself. I'm not really a huge fan of events like these but it was quite good, better than some others I've been to.

Rewinding...
Before that, we had around 2 hours plus of extra time (not idle time). So, we decided to go to the library (bunch of kiasu nerds :p). Here, a whole new drama started. We met some other classmates but whom we weren't really close to. They only had a few classes with us as they were from another group. But even so, it did not deter K (Some of you may know who she is, some don't. Just to protect her already tainted reputation, I'm going to just refer to her as 'K') to go watch movies with them. She went with this girl (I'm just gonna call her 'Z' can?) and some of her friends (none of us really know them).

Situation 1
In the library, where it is so silent you can hear a pin drop, stands K, under a sign which says "No mobile phones".(Too bad I don't have a picture to prove)
*already in the middle of a conversation on the phone*

K: Eh, you come and fetch me go out la.. We go makan.. Then you fetch me back to college lar.. (in chinese) (and really loudly)

The WHOLE group of students there (mostly classmates) : SSHHH!!!!

K: *continues talking ever so loudly*

The WHOLE group: SSSHHHHH!!! Eh, this is library la!!!

Situation 2
She meets 'Z' and starts talking...

Z: Eh, your name is Carmen right?
K: YOUR head la.. (so rude.. too much.. *shakes head*)
Z: Then? What's your name?
K: *says her name*
Z: Whatever la.. I don't know your name but I know your name have something to do with car(s) wan la.. Eh what's your number ar?
K: 01x-xxx xxxx
Z: How to spell your name?
K: *spells for her*
Z: Hah? Your name not spelled as c-a-r?

I think by now most of you would have guessed what car this is.

Situation 3
'Z' and gang were packing up their books preparing to leave the library..

Z: We're going to Pyramid to watch 10,000BC (irony totally intended!)
K: Eh, I also wanna go...
Z: Come la..
K: Where you put your files?
Z: Why do you think I bring such a big bag for?
K: Then my files how?
Z: Put in the car la.. What's your problem? *gangsteristically*

The thing that really gets me is how she can just go off with some bunch of people whom she doesn't even know? AND to make things worse she doesn't drive.. If they took her to sell... (probably won't get much out of the sales anyway) but STILL! Doesn't all these go through her brain first? These days anyone, as in ANYONE can do ANYTHING... It's literally dangerous these days to just go out like that with anyone you know very well let alone just a little. In fact, there have been cases where own friends betray their good friends. You never know just how wicked the world is today.. K, you don't LIVE in 10,000 BC, where it's safer.. But then again, considering it's K!! Oh well.. I rest my case.. I had to repeat things I say for heaven knows how many times and STILL she doesn't understand.. Simple things like "It doesn't have to be a Friday in order to go out, right?" That, I repeated like 6 times.. And all 6 times she replies, "Hah?" Goodness gra-sias... Talking to her can vomit blood, like literally..

New Template

I had nothing better to do so I decided to change my blog template. I don't really like it because it's black and so I can't use any dark colour for my fonts PLUS it looks quite cc-fied. Anyway, because I was to lazy to change it back so I'll stick with it for a while.

My mum bought a keyboard and she's been playing non-stop. For those who don't know, I already have a piano at home (currently collecting dust because no one plays it) and she RARELY touches it. Now, she buys this keyboard and she plays it day and night with no ear-phones, mind you. Hopefully, it's not just because it's NEW.. My family has this habit of using new things to the MAX and then it becomes a white elephant. Remember I have a NEW template.. Wonder how long this one's gonna last...

Homework starts piling up especially tax. Goodness knows when I can actually finish it with all my procrastination and weird laziness. Now Mr. Jay told us to read annual reports of companies. Sometimes, I wonder am I doing the right thing taking this course? How can I cut down on coffee when I need it to stay awake and concentrate on whatever the lecturers are saying. Although it doesn't really help that much. Hmm..

Goodbye...

Yesterday 14 of us went to KLIA to see off Zi Jian, who went to New South Wales for his final year in engineering. His flight was at 9.45pm on board MH9143. He first flew to Changi Airport in Singapore where he took another flight to Adelaide. Sure gonna miss you!!

Before that, some of us went for the CF in college. The service was quite ok and people there are friendly. Did enjoy myself abit. =)

Other than that, it's been a normal week..

Note: Happy birthday to Min En.

Sh-ay

It’s been a stressful day week. To add to the pain, I wasn’t feeling very well for these couple of days. Since Saturday, I haven’t eaten any drop of rice. Not because I’m on a diet but because I feel like puking every time I think of eating. Too much to eat, you may say. So, these few days, my lunch or dinner will either be bread or burger (which also has bread) or roti canai (which is also bread) simply because I can’t eat much. Yesterday, I only ate 2 slices of bread and a burger (I’m sort of jelat with roti canai already) for the whole day. Even my mum eats more than me now, which is a miracle, mind you. And I don’t feel hungry at all. Some of you guys say that it’s the stress considering the fact I hardly slept last few days. But thank God, I’m finally feeling better. At least today, I didn’t eat bread only.

Today, Mel had her braces out so she was like rushing to and fro from college and her dental place. She had her retainers on during audit. Me, (who seldom bully people) fought real hard not to tease her on her pronunciations. But, I was weak (maybe coz haven’t been eating) and I gave in to the temptation and now I feel so utterly guilty. NOT!!

Me: Say, she.. Repeat after me, she..

Mel: I can’t sh-ay..

Darren and I just burst into laughter (so bad lar) and Mel hit me *sobs* but I know she was laughing also.. Good thing we were sitting at the back so Mr. Jay didn’t catch us laughing like some banshee. After all, she said it herself. “I talk like Donald Duck,” quotes Mel.

Anyway, that aside, I must really say, she look really good with her braces off. Not that you don’t already look good. =)

Encouragement Through A Psalm

I was quite down this week due to so many things that has happened. It’s has been a really busy and hectic week for me. I hardly had enough sleep. The other day, I did a devotional on how God love me so so much but I seem to take Him too much for granted. I complain that He is not there all the time without realizing He has never left my side. Instead, it has been me who has not been looking and seeking Him. And sometimes, it's like when I have nowhere else to turn to, only then I turn and look to Him. Instead of putting Him first in my priorities, I find other means to solve my problems and when it’s the dead end, then comes the question, “Where are You, God?” And then instead of listening to what He has to say, I go back to my busy and hectic schedule, ignoring Him and then wonder why God hasn’t answered me. Which in fact, I wasn’t even paying attention or listening. Pastor Petrina has preached on this before and just recently I’m re-reminded again about this.

Below is an acrostic psalm I wrote during AIM and though I wrote it some time ago, every time I read it, I’m always reminded of God’s Love for me no matter what happens. And God still uses it to speak to me. The beginning of each line is each alphabet in sequence. Hope it blesses you too.

A life without You is like a vicious cycle, meaningless,

Without hope, without gist, full of bitterness.

But You are there with me all the time,

Through my hurts, heartache and strive.

Ceasing the pain on my own, I am not able,

But for You, oh Lord all things are possible.

Determined to make You Lord of my heart,

From You my God may I never depart.

Every ache, every fear You drive them away,

Your love for me is more than any words can say.

Forever You are faithful in every way,

You’ve always kept the words You say.

Guiding me through the Holy Spirit, to keep in Your ways,
Giving me strength to face each new day.

Hallelujah for all You have done, my God,
You alone are of my praises, oh Lord.

I give You all honour and all praise,
My life to You I raise.

Jesus, You’re my Comfort and my Friend,
I’ll love and trust You till the very end.

Keeping me safe in Your mighty hands each day
You are always there for me every day.

Love, You gave unconditionally,
Continuously and eternally.

My love compared to Yours is nothing,
And yet You embrace it like it means everything.

Nothing and no one can be compared to You,
All glory and worship are only for You.

Offering Your Son to die for me,
Your love has set me from bondage free.

Providing a way for reconciliation,
You suffered pain and humiliation.

Quietness and peace I’ve found through You,
My burdens and cares I’ll lay on You.

Restored me into Your loving arms when I fall,
In times of desperation to You I call.

Saving grace You gave freely,
Out of love You gave Your Son for me.

To be Your child is a privilege You’ve given,
Through Your grace I’m forgiven.

Unworthy I may be to call you Dad,
But You looked through all my faults and bad.

Victory over darkness You gained,
You prevailed over sin and pain.

Willing to take me in Your arms again,
Even though I fail You time and again.

Xeric I am and I long for Your refreshing outpour,
Fill me so I thirst no more.

You touch my heart for all You’ve done for me,
All that you suffered as You hung on that tree.

Zenith of everything in my life is only found through You,
And all is vanity without You.
