Yesterday was quite a relaxing day. If you don't include me being drenched in the rain for the second time in 3 days. I sort of finished my synthesis report and almost done with my grammar one as well during Sahsiah class. Though my synthesis report was not really what the lecturer wanted, i guess it should pass. After class, went to the library to study Grammar. I didn't progress much as i kept dozing off. I was facing the scenery outside and it was so nice watching the clouds passing by and birds flying in freedom with mountains as the background. After that, went to Olahraga and did running. It'd been some time i didn't run like this! It feels really really good as it brought back memories of me running for my house in school. The smell of grass, the rush of wind against my face and blowing through my hair, the pump of adrenaline, the desire to run as fast as i can.
After Olahraga, i didn't follow the rest to dinner as i'd to rush back to college to prepare for a function. D'Sync was called to perform. So, was kinda hungry. My friend was supposed to tapau for me but she forgot to do that. So, i had to buy nasi lemak from the cafe, which after that, i found out i don't have to. In the function (some sort of alumni), they provided food for us and it was so scrumptious! We couldn't eat initially when the guests were welcomed to eat as we were thinking that after our performance only we would.
But, the temptation was too strong! So, at first, we just took the pudding cracker (my first time and it was GOOD!) and cocktail. Then, couldn't resist again, we started wolfing down the rice and lauk-pauk (ikan bakars, all kinds of sambal, chicken curry merah) in front of us. :D Ate halfway, we went to perform.
The crowd was a small one though the hall was large. There were many empty tables around with food in each one. Almost all who were present were above 40s, so we were thinking, 'Darn, our songs don't suit them', as we were going to sing Just The Way You Are and Price Tag. Anyhow, we sang that and due to the quiet dinner, we sang quietly too in a serene manner. Kinda nice. My Sahsiah lecturer was there too and he was watching me. So embarassing! Hope he won't say anything during class later. I almost couldn't remember whether he was my Sahsiah lecturer or Olahraga when we met at the hallway. Fortunately i didn't ask him Olahraga-related question, which i almost wanted to. Phew. So after performing, we resumed eating! :DD
Well, now, i'm supposed to study Grammar, but heck, i'm so lazy to do that. I wish it would just be filling in the blanks in the exam and not some explanations kind of questions. God bless everyone! :)

D'Sync & Z.G.
These past few days had been..crazy yet again! Joined another singing competition, this time in 2 groups! First group is D'Sync. Second group is a new-found group, all consists of TESL-ians (Sharon, Yvonne, Jack, Vin, Jared, Ken and me). The name is Zero Gravity (almost named it Antiseptic..lol). We sang Jar Of Hearts, When You Say Nothing At All, and You're Beautiful. So yeah, it was actually just for fun. We were pretty lack of practice and worse, forgot to tune our guitars before we went up stage. So, imagine! haha! Oh wells, at least gained another experience and practising was fun! :DD
D'Syns's too not enough practice, lesser in fact. So we only sang one song, Just The Way You Are. Everything was pretty ok until the end when we sort of forgot how it goes! Syazza stopped singing and i was left singing the harmony. So it sounded pretty weird. Huhu. Brush that aside. So, expectedly, we didn't win anything. Hehe. There was this girl who sang Rolling in the Deep. She was so awesome you would have thought it was the real singer singing live. =P
So, after all of these running-arounds, noise, etc.. today and tomorrow would be a day of quietness. I would be sort of stuck at home here in uni today and tomorrow. Got to force myself to do report and hopefully, after that, to study a little bit on Grammar, which i doubt i can. =O Looking to spending some real quiet time with Jesus, not the fast stopping by. This quietness will be good for me. In fact, it was really hard to say no to going out on Monday to shop but i know i've been bombarded with so many things until i would feel uncomfortable if there's nothing going on at all, or when there's no noise but quietness. A day to slower down myself is what i need to balance everything. :)

KHAR Talent Time Competition
Here i am, filled with junk food and biscuits! Uncomfortably full. That's what not-real FOOD does to me. I need REAL food! I've been surviving mostly on those food in this past 2 days! Well, story is i recently joined a Talent Time competition organised by KHAR. Me, Yvonne and Syazza were called to form a team representing my college for the competition.
Started being busy with the practices since Wednesday, if im not mistaken (it seems so long ago!). The competition was then held on Saturday night. We sang Memori Tercipta and Price Tag and all three of us played guitar while singing. It was really an enjoyable moment in front thanks to all who had came to support! Met lots of unique people at the back stage too!
There were 24 groups altogether in the comp. So yeah, pretty a lot of competitors so we didn't expect too much on being selected for the finals! Lo and behold, the committee called me on Sunday morning informing us that we got selected! I was in church service and am glad i didn't shout too loud because of that! :D
So, on Sunday night we performed again. Only 6 groups got chosen. At first, wanted to change our songs but in the end, we had not enough time to do much except to add on 'When You Look Me in the Eyes' song. It was not that bad! But well, the performance on Sunday wasn't as nice as Saturday. Probably we were pretty nervous as it was final! But Yvonne got the rap thing alright! It went quite well!
Well, in the end, the result came out and we got second!! The first is also from our college, the nasyid team! So my college sapu-ed all the group prizes! :P Not bad! Kinda happy at least we can get a placing! And the most important is experience, the memory and the skill learnt!
So yeah, with all that was said, what has all of these got to do with me eating biscuits for 2 days? I simply didn't have any time for lunch! And we couldn't take dinner because had to sing at night. A filled stomach is no good for singing. Hehe. Oh wells, it was worth it after all. x)

Special
Seizing the chance to update now in the library while waiting for the others for the next forum meeting! The days this week had been hectic ones. As usual i guess. Have to get used to the full timetable and constant flow of exams, presentations and assignmnents. This time with music practices. Hopefully my consistency level will be increased! Despite of such busyness, i'm lovin' it! Though of course, at times, i felt pretty lazy and wanted to just sleep it off, i feel productive and satisfied. But ahh, how i wish i have more time for all things! Better time management? Hmm..one thing i realise, my rate of doing things are deteriorating. I need more time to do the same amount of work than last time! Gotta improve on that. Oh well, enough of self-reminding post.=P
Anyway, this week is quite a ..... Weird? Special? Faith-and-love challenging week? There is indeed some changes around. In terms of friendship, vision, faith i believe. Earlier in this week, God has reminded me to look to Him in all that i do and He shall being prosper to whatever i am to do. He gave it in a vision to my pastor during worship where i was seen standing alone in a very BIG garden. Everything around me was pretty dull. But when i look up to God and stretch my hands to Him, everything around me, the flowers in the garden etc came to life and became a very beautiful garden. Then he said, God is with me. I was really touched by such honor that God give him this vision of me. It is very assuring. Yet again, at that time, i was like laughing at myself because how could i have forgotten that He is every bit interested in my life, again? Thank You Jesus!
Not going back hometown this weekend. Tomorrow will be having singing competition! Wish me the best! :DD

The 'straight' day
11.11.11
What a unique day. I'm actually kind of sleepy right now but wouldnt't want to miss posting something since i missed the previous one. First, it's all 11! Second, it gives me an honest feeling, cuz it's all straight? Third, it's Single's Day! Fourth, i just like it la. Fifth, no fifth. Well, bro texted me to wait for 11.11am. But i kind of missed the sms while missing the train. So, what i did at 11.11am on 11.11.11? Missed the train. And the next one which is 11.11pm on 11.11.11? Sleeping. Yeah, i just predicted that.
So anyway, Jack came down to KL. We had Jogoya and he treated me (thanks again!). It's been like years since i stepped into that place! The food was good. Service too. Environment too. But i think last time i was able to eat more than today! No more growing. Lol. All in all, was a great lunch. Had a short walk around Pavillion and then watched 'The Adventure of Tin Tin'. Its quite a nice movie. Somehow, it reminded me of Cassie! Perhaps, both are cute? :D Initially, i thought it would just be another typical cartoon story, but in the end, the storyline was pretty unpredictable for me, which is good. Steven Spielberg ma..lol.
So, 2 more days to uni! Time flies again! But this week was pretty productive, not in terms of assignments though. Productive in fulfilling promises, helping out, rejuvenating, catching ups. So, no regrets. :) Oh, yesterday night had a yumcha session with KHS buddies. All of them are pretty much the same. It was cool to listen to their stories from uni. Hehe.
K then, no more crapping and reporting events that are boring you right now (its ok, i know). *yawn* ta'z people! Calling it a day! Hoping to wake up at dawn tomorrow! *whispers*but actually she'll just snooze the alarm clock for another 2 hours.

Scouting~
I was out to Port Dickson early this morning with Pastor Peter and Simon. It has been like..5 years i didn't go there since the last youth camp we had! I miss the beach and the sea so much!!! But somehow my impression of the beach was pretty bad. I thought it would be really dirty and that the sea water will be murky. However, today, the beach is clean! And the sea water near the beach is blueeee! Well, pastor said there are two sides of PD and Tanjung Tuan (if im not mistaken) is cleaner than the other side. So, i sort of learnt the road to PD for future sake!
Anyway, we went to three campsites along the beach. The first one was the campsite where i first went to PH youth camp! Old memories! I was in form 1 then. Never would have thought then that i would return to scout for campsite places instead!! Nice place indeed. I still remember the place near the water dispenser where they hid one of the clues for treasure hunt. =P So, the second campsite was a Hawaiian-like place. Swimming pool, swimming pool with waves!, fake parrot, atap huts.. Nice! It is beside the beach too so the view is pretty awesome! Third was Methodist Hall. My third youth camp place. Memories! But too bad it is closed down and owned by Sime Darby :( a very nice place. Still remember the campfire we made! It was also where God brought me back to Him!
After that, pastor decided to take us to see the lighthouse. I think he was missing the place a lot because he was recounting all the memories at such and such resorts, hotels. Hehe. So, reached that place and found out no car is allowed this time. Well, since we reached already, pastor decided to walk up. Paid entrance fee for us, and up we went! Found out the journey up the hill was 600m! Glad i walked a lot in uni so was able to reeach the top. Haha. It was pretty hot too! The scenery above was amazing. But too bad the lighthouse was restricted. So, just went around it. Rest for a while on top, and then went down again. Was so hungry by then. Went to makan in one of the restaurants and pastor treated us. Had sate too! Fulfilled la!
So back to Kajang at about 3pm and went to cut my hair!! Couldnt't stand the messiness dy so decided to cut a little short. And outcome is kinda very short! Lol! Not that nice though. I feel my face too squarish already now. Oh wells, i dont't mind as long as im freed from all of those messiness! Im frrreeeed! :D

Geeky session
I realised i've been updating blog quite frequently since i started uni! Compared to the previous months. So good right?
Well, had a relaxing day today. Sort of. Brought the 'kukurus' out from their 'cage'. Hehe. Cute bunch of people, my cell members. We watched Real Steel, for me, again! So, couldn't help sleeping in the middle of it but enjoyed the last few scenes. After that, Daphne and Erin got hyped up on those nerdy-geeky-lensless specs! In the end, all of us bought the specs for fun! Lol~ i bought two. Had always wanted one of those anyway. So now, we're going to wear them during some of cell meetings. B)
Oh wells, after being out for 4 consecutive days, i'm going to stay home all day for good tomorrow! :D... And force myself to do assignments tomorrow! D: ...life? :P

Sweet sadness
Is there such a thing called sweet sadness? I think there might be! :) a sadness yet enveloped with hope! That's what im feeling right now. Just had a meet up with Jo-lyn, Vincent, Kah Hong and Ben in MV. After one and a half year? Its really time for that! Missed them so much and all their jokes and company! Only managed to contact through FB chats. Well, they didn't really change much except a little mature in the inside? Lol. I don't know when i'll get to meet with them again. My timetable clashed with theirs. But, i know we'll meet again.
This week, one of the things i learnt is to make the most out of every situation. Though the thing or situation may be rather crappy, i find that there will always be a life lesson out of it. Whatever that is given, make the best out of it and appreciate every moment in the process. Easier said huh? Well,i know it is very easy to say, but with a heart full of thanksgiving to God, it is practically impossible to feel that.
Alright, looks like another 6 days before uni! Should i follow Arnan's footsteps in those very very weird sleeping pattern? Like taking naps instead of sleep, shorten sleeping time, in order to do assignments and study? Lol. Well, I think...uhh....the longest i may be able to commit to such plan is one day! I'll definitely drop dead the next day. Glad im not an NUS student huh? :P bless that guy~
Oh, had captain ball last Saturday. It was fun! But too bad i couldnt join.D: Muscles were aching due to the dance practice and then carrying of bags. I could only watch and be the time and score keeper! Hope we'll organize this again in the near future!

"You just got to swim like a man"
Supposed to be sleeping now, but thought of blogging for a while. Had a gruelling day in the train today. Everyone rushed back home and so, it was so packed! I guess, this comic strip below truly describes how it was today.
SPARTAAANSSS!!
Like seriously.
When i reached Mid Valley station, i couldn't get out of the train initially. I had to really SWIM through the crowd, the opposing crowd through the door. I tried soooo hard until my bag ripped open without me realising. And it was still opened wide after i stepped like a hundred steps until i felt something was not right due to the pressure the bag gave. I turned around and i was like, oh my gosh! And all the while, no one even tried to tell me. I think they just stared. Tsk tsk. I don't know whether anything had dropped, but i think no. Thank God i decided to put all the stuffs in my other bag except my clothes.
Really don't understand why they just can't let the people inside go out first before entering. Ain't that easy?

The Joy
This week passes particularly fast. Faster than the previous weeks indeed. I don't think it is a good thing. I don't want the time to pass too fast.
Well, this week was filled with many things. Tests, assignments date line, meetings. At last i'm going to pass up my Reading Skills portfolio tomorrow. The joy~ :D
Yesterday, there was a vocal audition for my college and though i knew about it only that morning, i went anyway. It seems that i would be able to secure a place in hostel in semester 3 if i'm chosen. We waited for the judges until we felt bored and simply jammed songs with guitars. It was quite an enjoyable moment. I'm lucky to have some friends who love singing in the same college and same semester. In the end, the judge came and she told us we're all selected. Lol. Just like that. The joy~ :D
I went to Secret Recipe in Tg. Malim at last with Jack, Charlotte and Ken. We walked there from Tmn. Bernam. Well, walking towards the restaurant was not that bad, but walking back towards the campus bus stop was a little harder. However, it was worth it. On the way there too, i managed to drop by Yik Mun, AT LAST, to buy THE famous paos. The paos that everyone has been talking about! I find that the paos were pretty normal, and i think i could even get tastier paos in Kajang. But anyhow, still, the joy~ :D
