Sigh

In the midst of my busy schedule, somehow or another, blogging is a way of expressing myself and stress reliever. If it had not been the support of Dennis I don't think I could easily cope right now. Two more weeks to go till all my assignments due, not much of time left. At the mean time, I'm also working part time that take up 11 hours every week, not including the duration of getting there and coming back home. That's the life of a student. Time management is the utmost important. I'm still learning how to prioritize my tasks each day as I tend to do the least important things first like cleaning my room, folding my clothes etc. unnecessarily. Then I would take a long break before getting back to my studies. However, I couldn't find much time to even play the piano. I really missed those times where I drill myself to practice daily for my piano practical exam. Now, for more than a year since I finished my Grade 7 exam, and I think it would be hard to get back to that stream and continue my Grade 8 syllabus, although I already have it.

I also missed those time when I have time for hiking. I would hike Bukit Jambul hill, Kerachut, Muka Head, Bukit Hijau, and Youth Park. During those times, I would often hike with Dennis and my godmother. Now those times were only framed in the form of pictures and I could only reminisce. :(


Those hiking days..


It has been more than a year since I joined The Star for my 3 months internship (Aug 15, 08 - Nov 15, 08). I'm still thinking what I want to work as in the future after my degree. Need insights.

Alright, I think I have to stop abruptly here. Gotta finish my assignments. Gambateh!

Reminiscing the days

What an experience

Okay, okay, i know i haven't been updating my blog..it's just plain reluctance, that's all. Anywayz, i'm gonna tell you all about the whole event of the easter presentation at my college. Pictures and videos are taken by Dennis.

I was the emcee alright. Was so busy rushing here and there.
It was my first time emceeing an event.

My co-emcee, Sam. He did a great job. We first time met Don Budd, our guest performer, a Canadian.

Before the whole event starts, we pray.



Inviting passer-bys to come

and..here we go!

It started off with Don Budd singing a few songs..
then the video "everything lifehouse skit" is shown

The Friday monologue by Josh
"The Crucifixion"
Video: "Mighty is the Power of the Cross". Pls excuse the mike feedback. However, those unwanted high pitch sound came by when I forgot my lines..hehe..got me covered up.

Saturday monologue by Anna
"The Hopelessness"

The audience

Then followed by a skit "Had He not Risen?"



Then came in Anna who continued the Sunday monologue, then followed by Josh.
"The Resurrection"



After that, a video was shown, and dancers were prepared in their places.
Dancers dance to the song: "Jesus My Only Hope"


Don Budd came in again after the dance, doing some sharing about his personal life and some songs

Last but not least, acknowledgment for Mr Don Budd by Mr. Chin

and for the whole team

Tada! lurve this pic!

And finally...we need to be recharged..

This whole thing taught me many things..friendship, trust, working together, planning, preperation, and most of all, is a breakthrough for me to stand as one of the important position, which is emcee. All my life in college, I always get the behind the scenes position, and so, stepping out to emcee is another step for me, and yes, I was nervous for a few days before the real day. But when I put my trust and faith in God that He will not let me down, I regained my confidence. Also thanks to Dennis for all the help and support. Thanks to Mr. Chin, Josh, Sam, Anna (my tai ka che..hehe), Janine for the plannings to ensure it runs smoothly.
Thanks to Nelly(dancer), Fiona(dancer), Clarene(actress), Mark(actor) for the presentation.
Thanks to Mia & Amanda (projectionists), Benjamin (sound system), Alexander & Mark (photographers).
Thanks to those who had helped in any way(ones who set up the sound system, chairs, etc).

The day before this presentation, I almost lose my voice! Afraid that I won't be able to sing a high note, I make sure I drink lots of warm water and avoid spicy food. I guess drinking honey also helped, and above all, thank God I didn't lose my voice totally.

I'm kinda miss those times when we meet up at college and at FGA for practices..haha..am I crazy or what? Usually people don't really like to come for practices, but anyway, we manage to pull it off and did our best!

This is during the dance practice:

Absent

I've been quite lazy to update my blog..

Anywayz...if I were to blog about what I have been up to for the past weeks, it'll be a super long post with lots and lots of pix..so, first up, let me summarize to you..

March 8th - attended Rewire concert at TOP Penang featuring the Bus Company Band
- election day (but not eligible to vote yet XD)

March 11th-14th - TRAC Prayer Youth Conference, Ipoh YMCA

After came back from Ipoh, there's more practice for the easter presentation to come...


Chaoz...

Updates

Phew!! Finally I'm done with my finals yesterday, and today...I have the freedom to fly..weeeeee~
BUT, not so soon yet. My laptop just crashed yesterday night when I needed to do my stuff..Grrrr..when I switched it on, the screen just remain blank though the keyboard LED lights indicate that it's on. Of course, I get my dad to see what's wrong with it, and he said it could be it's motherboard problem...ish ish ish..and so, because of that, I can't post up any pictures here.

This morning I went back to my high school with Samantha to get my SPM official cert and 1119 English cert, and boy, my school changed big time can! There were tables and benches, pondok and astakah, more variety of food in the canteen, toilet sign, and of course, majority of the teachers are new to me.

It's really a nostalgic journey for me as I glance thru the places which I usually hang out. It's been about 3 years ever since I left that school, so most of the students that I knew had long graduated.

I'm glad that I got to meet back the teachers that had taught me before. Some even had been there ever since I was form 1.

Then in the afternoon, I went to college to complete the easter poster for KDU pg CF with Alexander. After two and a half hour, with the advise from Mr. Chin we finally completed and saved it. What's foolish of me is, instead of saving it as photoshop format (psd), I saved it as pdf (adobe). Now I can't edit the layout thru photoshop anymore...Grrr....What was I thinking? Hmm... Well, at least all is completed and there are no changes that we plan to make. After that, we went and print it, then went to Hameed Nasi Kandar at Penang Road. I tell you, the sup kambing is fantastic! Even the roti bom is also not bad.

Well, that's all from me now. Will be posting pictures of my school and the poster next round.

Lately I had been very much into hiking. Whenever I got the time and the chance, I won't hesitate. So, if any of you guys or gals are interested, just give me a call or message me. Usually I would go to Bukit Hijau (at Jalan Besi, Greenlane area), Bukit Jambul, Penang Hill, Youth Park..or any places that you guys could suggest to me?
In the near future, I would be joining with my cell group members to Pantai Keracut on Labour Day, and that would be my first time there. But I would like to go there and survey first. So, anyone interested??

Anywayz, hope you guys have a great weekday.

What should I do??

I have two responsibilities, both requires me at the same time and same day! What should I do???

My parents are going to KL on Friday morning for a graduation ceremony of my elder sis, Ruth, leaving me, Rachel (younger sis) and Daniel (younger bro) in Penang. My responsibility - to look after them, feed them, fetch them.

As you all know, I attend cell group every Friday without fail, and this Friday night, it's gonna be a bit unusual as there are people from the young adult cell group will be joining us in conjunction to my church's theme of the year, "Discipling our Successive Generation". So, I'll be in charge of the song leading. I was preparing the songs and practicing it since Tuesday, and also asked Rachel to play violin with me, so this means more practice.

Then, today I only realized that I have a filming to do with my team, also on Friday night! I'm asked to be the crowd control because we're gonna film at Batu Ferringhi whereby there's surely lots of crowds there. The crowd controller is suppose to tell passer-bys before hand that there's a filming going and kindly ask them to use an alternative road so that they won't interfere in the filming process.

I told the director that I have a cell group to attend to and it's important, but the director asked me back,"You didn't know that there's gonna be a shoot on this Friday?" I thought about it, and what he said is true cuz as we planned much more earlier, the whole team agreed to shoot every Friday, and that this semester is a short semester, and time is precious.

So, both sides are counting on me, but both responsibilities requires me to be there at the same time!

What should I do??

The Shoot After Having Class

College Life....Here guys, are the many photos captured. Sorry, was abit lazy to update about it..teehee...Basically, this post will be mainly photos.

Wendy's norm of hitting Steven's head (esp. if he wears a cap)

Justin and his retarded post (he was halfway dancing thru when I took tis pic)
You really gotta check out this video here:

Me & Fiona.

Embrace yourself as I'm gonna show you what we share in common:

Both fell down on a tar road. Only difference is Fiona was doing limbo, lose her balance at the end of the pole, fell down on tar. Myself, fell down on a downhill tar road, screeching downwards :P
It ain't easy for us to move about after the incident :(

Coming up next are pix of me and my group in production:

At Gurney Drive, Fabian & Nick

Wanida & Fay Lin

Candid

Wondering away

Petrina: "Off record pls.."

After the documentary shot, we all started attacking the food! We ordered laksa, fried chicken and fried chicken skin, rojak, char koay teow. Everyone shared eating, and each only pay RM 2. Cheap rite? But definitely not enough filling for each person.

Actually there are more pix I could have taken, like the way they hold the video and the hosts, but I wasn't in the mood to snap more :P

Anyhow, after Gurney Drive, our next plan was shooting at Batu Ferringhi night market. At Gurney Drive, the clouds are already darkened, and we suspected rain, but we go for it anyway. I was the driver of the day, the Avanza driver, fetching 5 others. During our journey, it rained very heavily and our project had to be posponed. Why la rain at this time?? We gathered at the KFC near the night market and everyone was camwhoring.

Including myself..hahahhahhaha

PS: I'm glad that I drove the Avanza that day cuz the Iswara wasn't stable, and at that time, the right mirror wasn't fixed yet. Imagine me driving the Iswara at night and heavy rain..it'll be even more challenging for me.
