CNY is coming to town!

Had a long day today. After 1 seminar and 2 project meetings, I went to Chinatown with my mom. Man, I just love festive seasons. Chinese New Year is around the corner. The food, the festive goodies, the atmosphere, the people, the buzz, ... Chinatown was full of those. Got to buy preserved fruits (salty and sweet ones), other chinese food, which I don't know the name, clothes and other stuff. And the best one is Ba Kwa (barbecued pork). Wait, don't get me wrong. I'm still an Adventist, so I still don't eat pork. I just choose the chicken version. Don't know the chinese name (even my evil twin bro dunno the name either, so, can't blame me). But in the end, we didn't buy the chicken ba kwa (sounds weird, huh) cuz though it tastes so heavenly, it's also super unhealthy. High in cholesterol, sodium and other bad stuff. Hey man, it's high time that we love our body.

Then, we just walk and walk around Chinatown till my feet went sore before we went home. I was so tired, my legs were almost numb, and yet, the MRT was really packed cuz we 'chose' to go home at rush hour. Sigh...

But, good thing, when my bro came home, he brought some goodies, and guessed what he brought..... Yep, he brought ba kwa! chicken version, of course, and there was like 1 kg of it. My sweeeeet ba kwa. Haha! Well, I can always love my body through other ways. In the meantime, excuse me while I sayang my taste bud.

Missionary Trip

Below are the pics taken during our missionary trip to Entayan Village in Sarawak. It was a bittersweet experience. Some suffering endured, some tears shed, some bruises and injuries sustained but lots of laughter laughed and jokes shared. Overall, it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I'd definitely want to experience it once more. Well, enjoy the pics.

Do check out Little Ms Happy poem 'The Kampong'. It pretty much summarizes everything.

Going Home!

Our aspirations

While we were there, besides building the church, many of us have found our true passion, which we may (or may not) want to pursue further.

Busy....busy...busy...(again!)

School's been going on for 2 wks now. Back to my busy days again. Project meetings (LTB's mad), assignments, deadlines, socialising (hardly haf time for it 'tho) and other stuff. It's more hectic than last term as I got 5 modules now. Dang, now I can't bid for my 2nd language mod. And all the mods that have exams are all maths-concentrated. Stats, econs and FA. Numbers, numbers....Schucks, shud've expected it since I'm like an accountant in-the-making. Gosh, dunno wat I'm getting myself into.

Classes are super boring. So hard to concentrate. In fact, I'm writing this in my FA class...LOLx... Guess I can't keep my new year resolution of being a hardworking student. It's juz so hard, y'know. And I'm still as slack as ever and a true-blue procrastinator. Like, didn't even noe I had an assignment yesterday. So I ended up doing it in under 3 mins. Record-breaking.... Luckily, it wasn't that toug. Haha...

Pathetic. Is not even halfway through January and I've already screwed basically all my new year resolution. Oh well, no harm trying. But seriously, I guess I really should start working really hard if I want to get into the exchange programme and make myself "visible". Competitive environment, man. Gotta move my butt and start working hard.

Sigh... wish I were still in Entayan, enjoying the carefree life there. No worries and no stress. But too bad, I'm back to reality.

iT's beEn SoMEtimE

Wow, it been a some time since my last post, almost half a yr. Too lazy to write i guess. Been wanting to write; i've even got all d stuff in my head, but guess i juz never got around writing it. Too lazy, too busy, no time, later... the procrastinator me... I even forgot my password. And I have like 3 blogs (2 of which are not in use), i cudn't remember which username, password n even email tt i used. SO, the password tt i got fr d system were for d old ones. And after long time trying i finally got into the correct one. Man, it's really been a long itme.

It's 2006 already. Time flies, or rather, travels at the speed of light, as always. But during my hols, time didn't fly as fast as usual amazingly. In some instances, it crawled even. Many things have happened in 2005. Some are bad, some are good. Some are terribly horrible, some are fantabulous - embarking on my college life, getting caught up with school work once more, stayin up late for seemingly endless deadlines, getting even bigger eyebags, going for missionary trip, building a church, making tonnes of new friends, going back and coming back. It will take me a year perhaps to recount all those experience. But I'll just briefly tell my stories. Later...

As for now, I'm gonna make my new yr resolution. I know I've never kept them. But I've got nothing to lose anyways. Not like I'll feel bad :p Yeah, I'll just think of some n then write them down. Later... Oops, I guess I should stop being a procrastinator (NY resolution No.1)

Well, HAPPY NEW YR everyone!! Hope this yr will be good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
