The Dysfunctional Pilgrim

Chester and Clarence Tai are leaving today for New Zealand. For those who don't know, Chester and Clarence are my church members, and the reason why they are migrating is becuz the entire family is goin . I think it's summin about the mom having a job transfer. Anyway, this is isn't about why and stuff . This is a little post to say thank you to Chester, for everything he has done. Chester showed me that the little things you do will sometimes do a lot for someone. Well, the someone being me. I'm quite quiet in church, and not many ppl come and take much notice. That's mostly my fault because I can't make it for the youth group (drat them piano lessons), and I don't exactly open my mouth to get new friends. Heh . Anyway, Chester was one of the guys who reached out to me. I mean, he didn't start talking and talking like crazy to me, frankly I probably wouldn't like that. But whenever he saw me, he said hi, and whenever I helped him in the OHP , h

I've finally gathered me thots about my camp, and all I can say is that is I try to give you a report on my amazing experience, I will be indulging myself in those memories, and in the process, bore you to tears. All I can say is, I'm so glad I listen to God's call and went for it, despite being alone, I've learnt so much, in so many ways. (For those of you who don't know, d'NA stands for the D'Nous Academy. Nous means heart, mind and soul in Greek. ) Anyways, I didn't feel lonely at all while I was there, and I met quite a few crazy people, so I'm not the only mad one around, yay ! However, they're all so intelligent and mature, I feel like a 6 year old hanging around with some working young adults!!(who are a bit cracked in the head.) But in many ways, they're all, well, kindred spirits, in a sense. And the camp officers are really fun and they don't mind me asking questions at all. Actually, I'm not quite sure what else to say

This is something I wrote on my first day at d'NA ...was walking around and found inspiration...but it's a bit lame... heh . Sing Trees Sing of Splendor of Majesty of Beauty that transcends Human Comprehension. Sing Birds Sing of Happiness of Joy of Peace and the Everlasting Spring. Dance Grass Dance to Music to Passion to the rhythm of the Earth Song. Dance Flowers Dance with Grace with Laughter with the Reckless Abandon of Summer. That's it...once again, please don't copy n'paste!

I'm back from my d'Nous Academy camp.... I'm so sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was my best camp ever and now it's OVER.... *sigh* Anyways, I'll be telling you what I've learnt from it and all that..maybe some pics if I know how to add them.(yeah, loser again) I just realized the reality of my life again... I GOT HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vanity of vanities..........

I just realized that it’s going to be December really soon. Time really does fly. One moment we were ushering in the beginning of year 2008, and now it’s almost the end. I’ ve been real busy helping out with the annual spring-cleaning of the house; though why we call it spring-cleaning is a mystery to me. There’s no spring here!! Anyway, that’s why I haven’t been bloging much. Actually, that’s a bit of an overstatement. I haven’t been blogging at all! I don’t know why, but I just don’t fell like blogging. I once said that this blog is for myself. Well, I guess I’m wrong . I hate typing. I loathe doing tedious work. I can’t think of anything when I type. Nothing comes to me. I like writing on paper, not in front of a computer screen. Arnan gets inspired when his fingers are on the keyboard. For me, it’s a pen or pencil between my fingers and paper under my hand. So this blog isn ’t for my personal satisfaction. I guess the reason why I’m not blogging is because no one seems to

Here's the Step Up dance videos that I promised to put up a LOOOOONG time ago. Just figured out how to add videos in my blog this week you see....... So, hope you'll enjoy the grooves and move it move it too!! Want more of them? Let me know, ok?

Can you believe this? Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana has just charmed her way into my big bro, Arnan's heart. MILEY CYRUS!!!!! Well, maybe that was an exaggeration. He's not having a crush on her or anything; he just likes her. Her songs, that is. Personally, I thought he wouldn't even give a tuppence about her. Funny how people change. He listens to her song Breakout about five times in one day!! Personally, I like her very much. She's one of my favourite Disney characters. She's better than High School Musical. I like her, because she's as crazy as me, and a lot of people know how to pronounce my name correctly now, thanks to her. Sure, she's done something scandalous, but let's not forget that she's young and very immature. And didn't Venessa Hudgens from HSM did something scandalous too? I'm not justifying their actions, but I guess we shouldn't just look at her mistakes. All the same, she has accomplished much if Arnan likes her. I&

Finally, The longest and most expensive campaign in the history of America is over. And it has all paid off for one man- BARACK OBAMA . Congratulations from me goes to Barack Obama, The 44th President of the U.S. of A, and also for creating history by being the very first African-American President America has ever had. Personally, I've been very much riveted and attracted to this man, much more than McCain. Did you watch his speeches?? They're amazing! The perfect use of words, the way he addresses the crowd, the country, the world....wow. Here's a small snippet off his victory speech: If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer. It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours a

Right now, I feel like everything is over and I'm suddenly on a very long holiday, which I am...exams over, see? So now I got no more adrenaline. That's the problem when your education system is exam-orientated...the beginning of the year is rush, rush, rush, study, study, study, camps, camps, camps, competitions, debate, piano, EXAM, EXAM,EXAM,until you are fit to burst. Then suddenly, eh? Over already-ah? Yeah, I can read all the books I wanted to read, I can write stories, I can continue my novel, but I was focused so long on school that suddenly I feel a bit flaccid. Idleness, that seducing ol' codger is back. He's pulling at me, telling me to rest, to sleep, to do nothing, to moan when there is housework. Oooh, he is one heck of a good persuader. I've got to fight him off. Excuse me....* WACHAI * * HIYAH !* * POW !* * SMACK * * DISH DISH * * WAKAI * * swinging lightsaber * TAKE THAT ! *ahem* hehe, You're backing away from your computer screen, aren't y

I spent the whole of today cleaning up my study table. I've been putting it off for the past 2 years, justifying myself by saying it was an organized mess. Finally, with a year's worth of nagging in my ears, I set myself to it. It shouldn't be too hard, right? It's just a table. Start at one end, and you will finish in no time. Yeah, right. It was only when I started did I realized what a messy, disorganized person I am. So much for"Organized mess". It was time for Operation Bulldozer. I can't believe that I've been studying with an inch of dust around me for the whole year! I finished with dust covering me from head to toe, and sneezing so badly that my mom thought I had a cold. But ol ' Messy the Parasite has been terminated. At least from my table. There's still the box underneath my table, and all the shelves, and my room.... Anyway, while I was sorting out all the trash I've been collecting, I found all my unfinished stories and po

EXAMS ARE OVER!! I AM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, don't you DARE start on how I should ready myself for SPM. I want to enjoy myself for at least a MONTH. The battle's been won, the war over, the enemy defeated, the dragon slain, the fellowship reunited, the princess awakened, the treasure found, the king is crowned, the party begins!! Anyway, there were a few quotes and passages that flew through my mind when I handed up my last paper of the year, and here they are.. And now I don't care even if my tea leaves spell die Ron die, I'm just chucking them into the bin where they belong. Ron Weasly concerning his Divination exam in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix "I know I messed up Ancient Runes, " muttered Hermione feverishly, "I definitely made one serious mistranslation. and the Defence Against the Dark Arts practical was no good at all. I thought Transfiguration went all right at the time, but looking

This is what I wrote for my English exam-have fun! English essay -Finals Question (b) – School life is full of fun. Do you agree? 6.00 a.m. My alarm clock rang. I let out a moan, and pushed the accursed thing off my bedside table. It fell on the floor with a crash loud enough to wake the dead, but I went back to Dreamland. 6.30 a.m. Woke up to my mother’s insistent shaking. Thought there was an earthquake and yelled. Glanced at the somewhat broken alarm clock and screamed. I-AM-LATE!!! 7.01 a.m. Flew to school faster than the fastest jet in the world. Was late to report for prefect duty by one stinking minute. Drat. Mr. Head Prefect was in the prefect room and he raised his eyebrows at my entrance. Double drat. I couldn’t give him an excuse because I was panting hard and even if I wasn’t I had no excuse anyway. So I nodded and dashed off to my classroom. 7.15 a.m. I told a girl off for not pinning up her hair and she gave me a glare that made my insides churn. I held my ground, or at l

Lately I've been looking at the dance scenes in step up....yes I know it's very late and all of you are probably screaming at me "LOSER" but I honestly don't care. I haven't watch the movie and I'm hoping some kind, wondeful soul out there will lend the vcd ,dvd, whatever to me. But honestly, the dancing is way cool. The way they merged classical dancing with hip hop is phenomenal. You probably wondering why me, of all people, am talking about dance. Well, this is one little secret I had..until now. I really, really love dancing. *embarassed laughter* Yeah, I always love dancing, ever since I was small. Love to groove, to move to beat, to let my body convey how I feel about the music. (that sounds odd!) I think that dance is the physical art of music. Did I say that right? It's like the score sheet to a song. Every note, every beat, every quaver, is conveyed through the body. Isn't it amazing? Thank God for dance. I always wanted to learn how to da

Yeah yeah I know I put this up on friendster a looong time ago. But hey, everyone is pressuring me to put a new post up and I don't have much time to write anything so...copy and paste. Enjoy! And any you rappers out there, hope you "dig" this. But please folks, please refer to rule number 1 in my first post and stop pressuring me! I'm studying! Food Chocolate cookies, vanilla ice-cream A Cadbury bar, just for me I don’t care about the waist line Just give me a piece of pie Sundaes, cocktails, Bags of Twisties, it’s on sale! Let the weighing machine scream I need more chocolate cream And everybody sing: Food, food, food, oooohhhh Food, food, food, glorious food You see, you live only once And you can’t live it twice Spend your one life on a diet The day you die you wish you’d feasted Cause your body shape ain’t more important Than your one time enjoyment When you finish your stick modeling You’d wish you were eatin’ More than your salad greens And pieces of lettuce Sh

This is it. Finally, for better or for worse, I have a blog. Behold, O World Wide Web, the ultimate craziness of ME!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Anyway, I just like to mention a few things concerning my blog: 1. I will not be commited. Meaning, I will not be blogging frequently. You won't hear from me for a loooong time, simply because I am a plagmatic. But I 'll try to update as often as possible. 2. I will not be succumbed into writing about my boring, mundane daily activities, simply because they are boring and mundane. If I decided that I battled with a dragon instead of struggling with tons of homework, so be it. 3. I hope that none of you out there would do the despicible act, known as "copy n' paste". I can't stop you (why would you want to do that anyway??) but I hope you can stop yourself. If you can't, then you will forevermore remember that you have pushed me into the depths of despair and turned my life into a graveyard of buried hopes. May
