swinnix's art of life

I went jogging with my dad just now, as usual. My dad is quite emo these few days, so when he is alone with me, he would never stop ranting. I know I should have the patience to listen him out (and I did!), but sometimes, I would really want my time alone and be quiet. So I started to walk faster and ahead of him, hoping my ears could get rid of all the complaints for at least awhile =(

But I felt guilty right away. So when I walked pass the broken plastic pieces, I turned to my dad to warn him so he won't step on it and hurt his leg. Just when I wanted to take another step forward, I caught something lying on the pathway with the corner of my eyes. I tried to look at it more properly, and turned out screaming intermittently for 15 seconds.



It's a dead rat. -shivering-



I sprinted away as fast as I could, with tears rolling in my eyes. My dad tried to calm me down by telling me there were some visitors around but I chose to ignore him completely. I began to feel embarrassed of myself and laugh at the incident only after we had jogged for another 15 minutes or so.

Still, I feel nausea when recalling the scene. Even typing the phrase *dead rat* disgusts me.

Mentang-mentang budak Bio. =.=

with the same old bunch of gang. Went to have steamboat/ hot pot before heading to The Spring. Then got to K-box after window shopping. Well, not really, we actually did try out some outfits, and I love~~ the green checked-shirt!! Rose said it looks cool on me. Gonna include it in my must-buy list when go shopping with mum next week xD We tried the red one, too, and even took a photo together =) I met Amanda (my cousin's gf, lol) in the Face Shop. Was quite surprise to see her there coz I thought she was in the other shop which she was previously working in. Said hello and chatted a few seconds with her when actually I never spoke to her before! Hahas. She looks so mature with make-up even though she's only 19. Waa...4 years younger than my cousin ey (ke-po-ing). Then we went to MPH where Rose's working, and flipped through some books. I checked on the price of bible too, aikss, still dun have enough pocket money to buy the one I like. =/
About 10pm we finally get our butt in K-box, hehe. Since there were only both of us, the boys (I reckon they are younger than us?) working there kept on passing by our room and peeking once every few minutes. It's a bit annoying la, although some of them are quite good-looking xD No la dear, I promise will be guai. We sang and hugged and cried, due to some reasons. Hmm... Raymond ah, I hope you see this. Her tears are for you, no one else. As for me, hmm... :):
Since it was Wed night, K-box closed early (at 1) so we were forced to leave at 12:30. I kept on bugging on Rose & Teo & Ban Chiat to meet up again during the journey back home, and Rose suggested to let me stay with her in Kuching for 1 night next time, so we can go see the leng-zhais again sing-k again. I guess I will =D
Oh, where were the guys when we were enjoying ourselves in KTV, you ask? Well, they were busy staring at the lappy to check on the stock price they've invested in, first at food-court, then in starbucks =.= So advanced la. Gonna ask Teo to teach me one day, I wanna show it off xD
That's all I guess. It's getting nearer to X'mas, woo~

Not me, but my 38-year-old cousin. The first kid in the family, and it's a babyboy. My cousin phoned my mum to ask for Chinese name suggestion, then my mum ended up discussing with us. We thought of lotsa possibilities, and finally settled with 宇浩 (Yu-Hao). Nice or not? =)

Yu-Hao is actually still under medical care at the moment as there was a little accident happened during his birth---he was not out from his mum's uterus yet even when the amniotic fluid had all flown out=( As a result, Yu-Hao experienced oedema in his brain but I guess the condition is not too severe since he will be discharged from GH tomorrow.



Praying for the new little angel's health :)

This is what the front hall would look like when you get all 440 students from 3 schools together to sit for the same exam same date same time same place on a rainy day. 

Anyhoo, finals is officially over for me! =D The results will be out around 1 month later, but who cares 'bout it now right? Will be going out with my coursemates for a dinner under Tang Wei's treat. Yay!! Can eat as much as possible -oops- hahas. Ya, despite of all the worries that I might have done badly for some papers, I do sound happy at least for now :)

Listening to Yiruma's River Flows In You. Never can get bored with his beautiful piece. But once alot of people start to like it, I might have stopped admiring him and his pieces. Weird huh? There's a phrase describing the phenomenon about sth getting too popular and ends up no one sees it as  sth unique any longer. I forgot what it is called =/ Never mind.

Needa go for meeting now. Tata!!

As beautiful as the song sounds like, it is named "Beautiful" :) from CHC's album, Writing on the Walls. 

(verse)
Love without condition
Heart that always listens
To a crying world
Lord of all creation
Humble as a servant
With You, all praise begin

Grace is all sufficient
You become my portion
More than life could bring
All my past forsaken
I lay my own ambition
Before my King of dreams

(pre chorus)
What can I give that's worthy
To You, my soul will sing

(chorus)
Beautiful One, Merciful Son
The Crown of all heavens
Reigning in my heart
Beautiful Love, Gift from above
Adore You forever
My Savior, Jesus

(Bridge)
More than enough, You're
More than enough, You're
More than enough for me

As I'm changing the font color I come to think about another song I sang during the same service. And there I go, google it and find it. Couldn't listen to it via YouTube 'coz the website has been blocked by school network and will only be open dunno-when. 

So here it is, "All To You", a song from the Arise and Build video. We're pledging on the same day and I did pledge too:) Just hope that with the God's house done asap, more people can be blessed. 

Now is the time
When Heaven blends
With Earthly saints
The World resounds
As Angels sing
"Our God Reigns"

I give my all to you x2

From Heaven's throne
Your river flows to this land
And on this rock
Foundations lay
Here we stand
I give my all to you x2

Pouring out
This treasure you gave
In your promises, Our hearts turn brave
I will arise, and lay down this sacrifice
As we're building Your house on high

Your Kingdom come
Your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven...

Your Kingdom come
Your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven...

I am feeling God's presence.

I'm tired. 

Even though I kept on thinking there are only 3 days left for my finals when I was in KL, the 3 days seem so long to me now. 

One day (or rather one paper) had just passed.

Another 6 hours sitting in the exam hall and I will be totally freed. I doubt I still have the energy to cheer by then. 

The Ethnic Relationship notes look more like journals than lecture notes. I will be spending my time "scanning" through lotsa essays for the next few hours. Hopefully I can finish everything by 10pm so I can get myself to Nurani to take the protocol stuffs.

Today, an examiner complimented my hair and it did cheer me up a bit. Thanks madam(: 

I'm just so tired. 

God, I need You as ever. 

Oh, and anyone knows the title of the CHC praise song we sang last Sat night? "Beautiful one, merciful son..." The song is so beautiful. 

And now, let me continue with my battle. Tata.

You gotta love your notes to make them stay with you!!!
