Actually, it had been dead for a couple of months now xD
But I thought, maybe she might wanna blog about the Saturday xD

So I clicked her link.

Will be waiting for it x)

Happy Easter!!

Yeah, well.


I suppose I should blog about what happened on Saturday first, but since it's going to take a while,
I might as well say my Easter greetings first...

Then talk about Saturday!! xD xD

yeah, so...

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!
:D :D

I can finally start eating meat, play games, eat chocolate, ice-cream and listen to my favourite music again!! <3 <3
[Okay, why does this seem like I was fasting for the wrong reasons?]

Anyways, I'm also glad that all the celebration songs in church are being played right now.
During the season of Lent, songs that were sad mournful were sung.
But now!!! :D

All the normal, cheerful, fast songs are played <3
Because the Lord Jesus has risen, and this gives us hope that we, too, will one day rise like him and have a share in the Heavenly Father's Glory.

And so, because of this, I often ask myself,
"Why must we be sad that a person is no longer on Earth?"
"Why must we mourn for that person... when in truth he/she is already risen and is with Jesus?"

I guess someone has got to educate me on this. =/
But, anyways...

HAPPY EASTER ONCE AGAIN!!

P.S. Pre-vegetarians, don't stuff yourself with too much meat, or else you'd get indigestion ;)

Good Friday



It rained again on Good Friday.

As it always does when the day comes where Jesus died on the Cross for our sins....
for the last 18 years of my life.

Well, there was one time where it did not rain like this...
Instead, a beautiful sky was revealed...
yeah. But it normally rains like this. Every Good Friday.

Hoax Emails

Hi everyone :)

I'm writing here today to tell everyone to please, be at least, aware of such unscrupulous people who like to take advantage of the emotions that people have and write spam emails.

I, for one, do not like to receive e-mails asking me to forward the mail to my contacts.
Fine if it's genuine.
Or funny.
Or has some value to other people.
But it's not okay to me if it's not.

How would you like someone to tell you,

"Hey, DUDE! You've been tricked!
Someone on the other end of the world 
is laughing at you right now...
because you've just been pranked!"

Have you seen an e-mail (real recently and have ended up in my inbox twice now)
That goes like this?

Dear Reader,

I am writing this on behalf of my loving husband.
  

Everything was fine, me, my husband and our two children. We had a happy family. My husband was an Engineer in a big company. He comes home early and helps me with the house chores and plays with the children... Our dreams were shattered in front of our eyes last week. It was a drunk lorry driver, who came on the wrong side and hit us and went. It killed my little baby girl and left my husband paralyzed. My husband is still in the hospital. Hisbrain is damaged and he needs an operation. I need 5 lakhs to save his life I have collected about 3 lahks from my friends and family. I need another 2 lakhs.I don't want to lose him. He is such a wonderful husband & father

He still doesn't know we lost our little girl.. I am looking after my son now.. Without my husband I won't be able to take care of him. Please help me
save my husband the one person I dearly love. I have already lost my daughter and I don't want to lose my husband as well. Please help us.
Thank you very much for your love & support.  
 

May God bless you.

Yours Truly,
Nirosha Silva
(I know you don't like to forward mails. I am really sorry to bother you.  If you have a heart and like to help a family, please forward this mail.
Every time you forward this it will add 5 cents per email ID to AOL and they will deposit it into my bank account. This will help me save my husband.)
  

( Even If you treat it as all Fake ... Try to forward Please. It Does not CostFor You. BE OPTIMISTIC)
 
      Whether it's true or false doesn't matter, but Pls forward this as Max as you can.



Well, I don't believe it's true.
According to hoax-slayer.com, this e-mail is a hoax.

I mean, think about it.
If AOL (or any giant e-mail company for that matter),
were to really give out 5 cents for each email ID,
and for every sad-case e-mail that gets forward to every inbox,
don't you think you've lost your e-mail account like years ago?

HAH! 
THOSE COMPANIES WOULD'VE BEEN  
BANKRUPT BY NOW!!!

Come on people, BE REALISTIC!!

Why you do want to help spammers all over the world?

You know, I could easily grab your e-mail ID from this forwarded e-mail alone and sell the info to people on the Net. (It's worth USD 5 for each of your email ID... that's easily USD 1000)

Like what these people are doing here: Go ahead and Google; I want to sell a list of e-mail IDs

And because I know that these (your!) e-mail IDs are from real people,
I could make a good sale from you.

And don't think,
"Well, I'm sure the person I forwarded this e-mail to
will delete my email ID before they forward it out."


No. DUH! 
I can safely say more 99% of the people who send me the forwarded e-mails DID NOT DELETE the history of e-mail IDs before they send the forwarded e-mails out.


You know why? 
Because out of the many people who send me forwarded e-mails, only one person deletes the history of e-mail IDs.
(If you're that one person reading this, thanks for doing so :)


So, anyways, if you are scared now that I might take your e-mail ID and sell it off, don't be.
I have a reputation I wanna keep.
And, anyway, it is unethical business to do this.

But remember!!
Not all people have a reputation they want to keep... and not everyone is ethical.
There are those who would do this without a second thought... they'd sell their souls if they could.

And you will never know if your email ID will be one of those sold to an unresponsible person.
Before you know it, your e-mail is hacked, and your personal details are stolen.



Peace yo.


P.S. Before I end my fury-filled post today, I want to remind you.
Be a little more responsible to your friends.
They are NOT words or numbers in your contacts.
Before sending out a suspicious/spam e-mail,
go to http://hoax-slayer.com, and look for that e-mail.
Most likely you are just sending out recycled stuff.
Not there?
Copy paste the first few lines of the e-mail body and do your own search.
You will find out, and it's confirmed to be a fake.

My New Dream?!

So I was talking to chele the other day...
And she mentioned that she went swimming... and invited me along.

Okay, I'd love to go!
Even if I already know how to swim, which, most of you know
if you already know how to swim,
It just kills the fun in "swimming".

BUT!! I want to swim,
cause this form of exercise is very beneficial for the body...
Muscles can form if one swims often,
and of course,
say BYE BYE to fat!!
[Okay, since when did I talk about health? ... since... I don't know,
I got jealous with my sis wearing skinny clothes?]

ANYWAY!!
I currently don't have the means to go swimming [read : DRIVING]
even if I do,
I'd have to rely on friends who live in places that has a swimming pool...
in condos, apartments (would these have?), bungalows (okays, I do not have this kind of friend)
or... places that charge money [CASH!!] to go swimming.

Which translate to: I don't have that kind of luxury T~T

So that's why...
I would want to live in a nice condo...
or penthouse!!

Like this:

 Living Room, Dining Room

 Kitchen

 Bedroom

Swimming Pool!!! :D :D
[Images above; source]

Or maybe, I'll just get a nice bungalow
[I'm actually liking this idea... until spring cleaning comes x.x]
with a swimming pool on the side!! :D :D

[Images below taken from; source]

The exterior of the house

Out-door wadding pool and swimming pool :)
*dies*

Living Room, Dining Room, Staircase

Clockwise from left, top: Living Room?, Dinning Room, Wardrobe, Bathroom

Balcony

Walkway

The spiral staircase
Again, lol.

Meh, I wouldn't be surprised if this house costs a million (maybe more)
BUT!! I still like it!!

And one day; soon, real soon, I'm going to go and purchase one...
Via cash :)
It's a dream; that I can't wait!! :D :D

Thank You Lord =)

I know...
I was supposed to blog about the Saturday that changed my day...

Surprisingly o.O

Okay, so it was my third driving class.
The uncle was super impatient with me.

And I kept making many many many mistakes.
Hey, I'm human too, okay?
Just cause I successfully done it once,
doesn't mean that the next 3 - 4 times will be UBERLY perfect.
[Summore not enough sleep]

It's not like that for me. [Unless I super pro ady la -.-;;]
That also, like, one lesson [3 hours!!!] of NOT doing the same thing,
where can pro?!

Anyways, I was super DOWN when I came back.
Pressured liao.
I wondered why chele said that uncle taught her
3 things on the third lesson.

I only learnt like, 2 =.=
3 point-turn and the slope -____-;;
Okay, why didn't he teach parking?!

MORE PRESSURE!!! GAHHHH!!!

*sigh*
In addition to that, I had to bathe Spot once I came back.
WTHeck? No mood ady, summore wanna bathe Spotty.

Plus, I only had like, a small amount of breakfast
[it was waaaaaayy past my next meal too    -____-;;]
So I was grumpy. No mood. Totally.

And, of course, I we were late for the retreat.
Guess who had no mood to go?
Plus, sis was also "I don't wanna go lah!!"

But! Because I was mopping around the house,
getting ready in my own sweet time [zombie-like]

I still insisted that I wanted to go.
Because next month, I won't be able to attend.

HA! Mum looked at me in concern and asked
"No need to go la, you look tired. Let's go for a movie."

I tell you, immediately, Sucker Punch came to my mind.
Like, YEAH I WANNA WATCH SUCKER PUNCH!!

... but no. I'm going for that retreat.
Cause, secretly, I was hoping that God would bless me.
[yeah, I know. I didn't going there without any sort of agenda]

HAH! Guess what?
Sis and I arrived, and immediately, after 5 minutes;
we were laughing our heads of.
I felt happy again. Not moodless, not tired, not down.

Happy, with my spirits up and a small sprinkle of thankfulness.

And somehow, during the sharing, I realized;
What God told me about LOVE; and what He meant,
and what I was supposed to do about it.

Because during the sharing session [with your own group]
I was speechless. I didn't know how to answer the question.

I was only like, "anything is fine."
I mean, I didn't really have any sort of comments on it D:
But guess what? I told God; I lift this up to You, since I have nothing to say about it anyway.

And was sweating D:
Yet somehow, before it was my turn, I had an inspiration.
And words just blurted out from my mouth.

Okay, I told them that you want to help people, because you love them.
You don't really tell a homeless person;
I love youuuuuuuu~
then don't do anything to help his life become better.

So... LOVE.
I finally got its meaning when God told me about it last year.

And, after the retreat, I went for Mass.
And said my confession.

And cried. Wow.
My church has a priest that's really old.
He was the one who listened to my confession.
Heck, I couldn't say my confession properly too.

My throat choked up and all.
I mean, it was super impromptu.
I just saw the priest giving confession; so I thought, yeah, I need to go.
Really assembled my thoughts in a jumbled up manner,
and just went for it. LOL.

I ended up NOT saying the sins I wanted to say.
I just knelt, closed my eyes and told Him my sin...
And I started crying. What?!

It's like, I don't know...
When I closed my eyes, I can feel a sort of really...
GLORIFIED presence.
Like, there's nothing in this world that can compare to that feeling.

Somehow, with eyes closed, I can "see"
like there's this person [a Man, I presume]
Standing infront of me, while I was kneeling.
I only got to "see" the bottom of His shining robe.
It wasn't white. It was yellow. Like gold. And shining.
And I dared not look up. Choking, so badly.

And the "sin" that I had confessed, was the first one.
I didn't think it was VERY grave, okay?
Just, I hadn't been going to Bible Class every Saturday, like I should.
*sigh*

The priest was shocked, I think.
He heard me say, "Lord, I'm sorry for not putting you first..."
and he asked me whether I had missed Mass.
No, just... missed Bible Class.

And not using that time on Saturdays for God.
Like, being with Him.

You know, it's strange.
I know, on the outside and all,
it just looks like I'm with my friends,
and we have a lesson,
and a sharing
and then eat
and go off.

One Saturday afternoon spent.

Actually, that's not true.
I had forgotten that while I was going there, it was to spend some time with God.
Yet, you think you miss your friends when you don't go for the class, but truly, that's not even close to the value that you are TRULY missing.

Just that 2-3 hours with God meant SO MUCH TO HIM.
And to the SOUL.

So... this post was actually for me, to tell you, my dear readers, if you do get to this part,
Whatever you are about to do, Offer It Up To God.
Whatever time you've given to Him, Honour It.

I now know the meaning of all this.
The Lord Jesus; really does know what He's doing.

Often when things go bad,
it's an opportunity for you to witness the goodness that He's doing for you.

Praise be You, Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Proper Goodbye to Neopets =/

Okay, I somehow need to get this off my chest.

Like, seriously.

As you all know, it's Lent season.
Where we have to give up our personal desires for 40 days.

*Somehow* during this time, life doesn't get any easier than it should.
You know why?

Simply because...
I'm constantly reminded of Neopets.

Like, wow.
I can't believe I actually stopped Neopets...
Right after I learnt how to earn a ton of Neopoints =.=;;

There are so many things that I miss there.
Sorry, even if I'm like, 18 right now; I still like the site for 10 years old.

Yeah? So what?
Unlike you "matured" people out there who only seem like "adult" things are so much more fun =.=;;

Heck, even adults play that game and they become so successful!!

I know my [current] career was actually triggered by Neopets.
That was when I learnt how to edit codes.

Yeah, it was frustrating;
but I got around it and learnt the basics there...
so much so that I can now actually edit custom blogskins as well...
[with my knowledge expanding to Wordpress!!]

Good grief!
I missed those times where I'd played Key Quest with SR
and hoped that with every gold key I got,
I could get a rare paint brush.

And all the dailies...
ReStocking,
watching NeoStocks...

Heck, sometimes it seemed that 24 hours ain't enough to do all you wanna do.
There'd gotta be some things you might've missed out. D:

*sigh*
I really wish I could go back and play for a bit.
Maybe once a week or so.
Like, control myself before it got out of hand

So much that I can't play it anymore. For the rest of my life D:

But what to do?
God really did send me that dream.
Where I was opening Neopet's Times [the local newspaper there, lol]
and sitting with my back to the altar, whilst Mass was going on.

And somehow, I couldn't tear my eyes off the paper;
and I kept saying, "Just a bit more to finish."

Of course, I woke up before finishing.
Or I never got to finish. The dream had probably evolved from there.
Or something.

Whatever the case, it was either I quit Neopets there and then
[like Plurk & Restaurant City that time =.=;;]
OR! I might loose my relationship with God.

T_T
Stupid as it might sound,
I really do miss it. [2 years after quitting without notice]

Because I was waiting to get bored of it.
Yeah, right. How do you get bored of something routineous
if you suddenly discovered the best way to deal play with it?

And the results just repeats itself? You can't right?
Alright, it isn't really my biggest regret or anything,
since I don't have any BIG BIG BIG regrets.
[DON'T!! want 'em. D:]

Just, during this time I missed it more.
I think I quit 2 years ago. Yeah D:

And no, Restaurant City = hardly think of it -.-;;
Neopets is more... since I really did love it from the beginning.
And quit. And play. And quit. And play...
Even if I often played without many friends online at that time! lol! 

I guess it just boils down to one's preference.

So, Goodbye Neopets!
Though I really love you!
*since you're clean yet entertaining and all*
*sigh*


Oh well =/

Want A Laugh?

Okay, so I'm going to to this without!
any sort of <center> </center> stuff xD

Now, today's post is also for a movie review that I've watched...
sometime this month xD

Which was... Despicable Me.

source


It was LOL!!

Seriously, it was funny!
[Since I had no expectations, except that it was a "cinema movie",
and not some "cheap budget movie" with fake CGI and stuff.]

The minions were adorable!
[not that I would want any one of them, I think they'd be pretty annoying xD]

My sister and I were entertained x)
Mum's ony comment was;
"Aiyer! Why he [Gru] has a big head and tiny legs?"

Mum, it's cartoon -.-;;
lol!!

So... short sypnosis?

Spoiler Alert!!

Gru has a career, car, house and personality like no other people.
While everyone else is living a normal, day to day life...

He owns a rocket-like vehicle, carries a super-blast gun,
and lives in a crooked house [unlike his unsuspecting neighbours]...
which has an underground lab full of minions building his latest scheme.
He has a bad-assed "piranha-like fish... [it's supposed to be a dog, I think o.o]
And pops a balloon that he gives to a crying boy for fun.

That's right. He's job is a villain!
[No, he does not combat any sort of heros!]

So, anyways, with a recent discovery of a heist; which was stealing the pyramids,
Gru sets out to outdo the villain who did so.
He gets ambitious to steal the moon!
[Er... actually, it was his life long dream to impress his somewhat
emotionally distached mum awww DD:]

However, doing so required a large amount of funds,
so he takes a trip to the Bank of Evil.
Only to be told that it was impossible to withdraw anymore funds,
since Gru wasn't the best and had failed his chance to shine.

In fact, the Bank of Evil wanted a new breed of villains,
with young blood, passion, and hunger more a more malicious desire...
[like the one who managed to steal the pyramids... *hint* *hint*]
 
 
Vector. -.-;;

A dissappointed Gru decides to go ahead anyway,
and appeal later.

He flies off to Japan?/Korea?/China? and steals a
shrinking tool so that he would shrink the moon in order to steal it.

Along the way, Vector intercepts him, and steals the tool from him!

So Gru tries to get into Vector's high security house... and fails.
He notices that 3 [orphaned] girls selling cookies were able to enter his house, though,
so he sets out to adopt them in order to steal the Shrinker tool.

When he does, his heart slowly changes.
Like all movies, he does a terrible mistake,
and saves the day! Will he somehow have a complete change of heart?


Did I already say how much I loved this movie?? xD
Hadn't I? xD

Well, the graphics were pleasing to the eye,
the storyline was awesome!
[Absolutely no comments there !]
In fact, I liked the look on the game vendor's face when the 3 girls actually won the unicorn...
Sooo... cheat! o.o
And really; after Gru steps in, that was even LOL! x)

I also liked the part with the minions in it :D
Their laugh was so... hilarious!! *hahahahahahahaa*

It pays to not know what the movie's about, you know?
In fact, I wondered what it was about when I first heard it x)

Any bad sides to this?
Hm... it may not appeal to the more-logic driven people...
like Mum xD
Since heads in this movie are non-logically bigger than their feet,
which shouldn't be able to support them.

Pros:
Exciting, Funny, Adorable, Heartwarming to watch
Pleasing graphics.
Wicked humour.
Lovable characters.

Cons:
Maybe for the logic-oriented, I guess:
Body proportions are wrong [but it's a cartoon!!]
Too bad Gru didn't managed to achieve his dream.
Probably I'd love to see the villain gets his day sometime ;)

Rating:
★★★★★

P.S. After watching this movie, watch this!

LOL!!

My Princess Review [Korean Drama]

As the title suggests :)


First of all, thanks to my bestie, SR for giving me this drama *wink* *wink*

I had fun :D

okays, let's move on.

I know, I don't exactly understand Korean and all...
but I still wanna say my opinions on this drama.

So, short sypnosis!

Spoiler Alert!!

Lee Seol is just another college girl.
Who dreams of going to Egypt to meet her history professor, Professor Nam.
Money is hard to come by for her.
Secretly in her heart, she remembers the words of her father,
telling her that he will one day come back for her.
Park Hae Young is a confident, sly diplomant.
He is the grandson of Park Dong Hae, the President of the Dong Hae company.
He was tasked in searching for Lee Seol, who was actually Korea's long vanished princess.

But they actually meet when Hae Young escorts a caucasian princess
[can't remember which country she was from]
and asks Lee Seol to take a picture with her
[because Lee Seol's job was to "act" as the Korean princess at the photo booth].

After that, President Dong Hae asks Hae Young to go escort Lee Seol
to the place as a princess.

When Hae Young reluctantly brings her,
they all go to the Crown Prince's grave
and Lee Seol denies being a princess...
because that means that her father, Lee Han, who she loved so dearly, was dead.

Of course, she is forced into accepting becoming a princess because a scandal stating that
her father was a thief and an enemy of the country had emerged.
And so, to prove the gossip wrong, she became the princess... and here's where the story started.

Soon, Oh Yoon Joo, Hae Young Museum Director,
who hated President Dong Hae [she was brought up with Hae Young]
became the Director of the Royal Foundation set up by President Dong Hae...
In order to overthrow the Monarchy's revival.

Needless to say, she made Lee Seol's princessy life a living hell.
Even more so since Hae Young started falling in love with Lee Seol.
[Hae Young's and Yoon Joo's relationship was soon-to-be-engaged]


Coming to Lee Seol's aid was her Professor Nam.
He stood by Lee Seol's side and helped her out during
Korea's crisis of having dual princesses;
One which was fake, another which was real.
Do you believe that he and Yoon Joo were, aparently, each other's first love? xD

So yeah. That's pretty much how it went.
There are a lot of twists and turns.

From the monarchy's troubles to love problems and family issues.
Unfortunately, though I've already watched another drama
earlier this year [thanks again, SR!!]
and I have to say that that drama excelled beyond my imagination and
kept me on the edge of my seat.

This drama was only something to pass the time.
I didn't understand much of the scenes.
I mean, why make the character change sooooo drastic that
even Hae Young was like, begging to Lee Seol?

The only character I liked [lol!] was Gun, the palace cook
and... Yoon Joo....
cause she stayed hate-able throughout the whole series. Haha!!

I mean, come on!
I couldn't really connect with the characters all that much...

And what's up with understanding Yoon Joo's behaviour that
both Hae Young and Prof Nam was talking about? Sorry, but I don't understand :(

Also, I wished that the director or (script writer!) could've taken a little more time in explaining how Yoon Joo and Prof. Nam met...
Since Yoon Joo grew up with Hae Young...
Whose grandfather has Yoon Joo's father as a secretary.

There was also a time when the real sachet of the queen was found, but with Lee Seol's adopted sister (yes, they were both adopted).
I was very interested to know how her sister, Lee Dan, was able to get her hands on the Queen's sachet.

But, you know, it wasn't revealed either.

Oh yeah, brace yourself when you watch this drama.
As far as I've counted, there were 3 kissing scenes.
Like really mouth to mouth -.-;;
Because that meant I had to shut eye D:
3 times !! X.x

Bad comments aside, are there any good sides to the drama?

Hmmm... Yeah, I suppose.
It was interesting to watch the funny scenes,
There are those scenes that make you go 'lol!!'
There aren't many scenes that make me cry, though. I couldn't related to their sadness...

On a last note, if you watch this drama,
Be sure to look out for the actors'/actresses' eye bags !!
There are soooooooo obvious !! Lol!!

Pros:
Good way to past time.
Entertaining to watch.
Has it moments.
Interesting plots.

Cons:
Character development isn't all that believable.
Difficult to connect with the characters.
Unexplained questions still hung even after the end of the movie.
Kissing scenes... Very intense -.-;;

★★★★★

Driving Lesson #2

Yeah, sorry peeps.

I was late D:

Anyways...
Today's driving wasn't expected by me.

Seriously! What's wrong with me?!

Okay, nevermind :P

I only woke up because Mum had opened my room's balcony door so wide 
that my eyes were hurt eventhough it was closed.

Yeah.
So I decided, WTHeck?

Just go down and start working & having breakfast too... While I'm at it!!

Half-way through my bowl of Kellogg's Cornflakes and Milk, guess what? -.-;;
The driving uncle called.

I honestly thought, eh? Wasn't my driving, like, Monday?
Turns out it wasn't.

I just changed my pants into tracksuit and was good to go -.-;;
LOL!

So today, blurr blurrrr oso had to drive xD
After a few rounds in the neighbourhood, I was heading towards a T-junction.
Left was towards the main road.
Right was in the residential area.

So I said, "Left or right?"
I obviously thought "DUH!! He'd say 'right'!"

Guess what? He said, "Left."

o.o
Okay.

So I signaled, and turned left.
Then I learned that I had to calm my thoughts down,
and that the cars were all going on their own lane. lol

Like seriously!
So I stayed on my lane, watched my side mirror if I was able to cut lanes as I go along.
Yup :)

Okay, that aside, I changed gear.
The 3rd gear xD

Actually, I can go to the 4th gear, since I was only driving straight!!

I passed Technology Park, Bukit Jalil Stadium, ...?? ???? ?????? ? Carrefour...
ahahahah!!

Yeah, I'm still not good with directions xP

So, anyways, while on the main road,
in front of the traffic light,
the car didn't die stall.

In fact, throughout my main road experience today
the car didn't die stall at all!!

It was awesome xD
The car did stall during the excursion, though.
When we were lining up to pump NVG. lol =.=;;

But I remembered what Michele said
and didn't panicked.

"So what if my car die?! You cannot see the 'L' sticker ah?!"
keh keh.

Yeah, I got horned at.
But meh, wait la! lol.

So, after cruising around on the main road, I was back in my residential area.
When I was back, 2nd gear was too slow for me ;x

As was the challenge.
No traffic lights to stop at.
No other cars to watch out for.
And my balancing, about okay... I guess.

And yeah, today was awesome as well cause...
the uncle actually sucked the dried assam !!

I supposed he would smoke during the next lesson o.O
Not that I'd care!
I'm glad he doesn't smoke with me around :D :D

In fact, I think I did better today.
Even though I blurr bluurrrr xD

The car stalled about 15 times.
Yeah, I got honked at. Once.

And I forgot to stop the car at the intersection and just turned.
Opps :(
Sorry. My bad.

Saturday, April 2, 2011

I'm sorry :(

*sigh*

Today... I felt like I had betrayed the Lord.

*rewind!!*

Okay, so my day started like this:

 Cleaning.

Mum was cleaning the fan with my sister...
and I was given the task to remove the cobwebs at the corners of my house.

But before that, we had breakfast together.
Literally having breakfast :o

 Yes. 
It's Herbalife Shake, chocolate flavoured.

The three of us shared.... 2 cups of shake. LOL.

Then it's off to work.

Come afternoon, I went to Assumption Church to help set up a Lenten Retreat, 
which I did not plan on attending.

You see, I wanted to go there.
Just to get a letter stating that I was a member of the 
Assumption Youth Bible Group [AYBG]
since 2009... from the AYBG's coordinator.

Who said that she would pass it to me today.

But since January this year, I felt it was sort of wrong,
because I had not been attending the sessions in the weekend.
Simply cause I had the Internet Seminars and Driving things to attend -.-;

Of course, the World Youth Day retreats, too,
but still, those were just 2 days of the 12 weekends.

What in the world did I do for the other 10?
Okay, so I did attend the sessions, for 2 weekends...
What about the other 8?

I don't know. I felt guilty.

Well, anyways, I went to help out.
And arranging chairs, hanging out, carrying the cross a floor down...

Paul came and made us to do...
this:

Nice, right?
It was awesome!

All of a sudden, I felt like staying back.
So I asked my dad if it was possible.
Because our agreement was, 
I come back home at 5 p.m.

Unfortunately, this was getting a habit.
The late-informing thing.

The same thing happened the night before the last pre-SPM outing, 
as well as the last pre-SPM sleepover I had.

The retreat session was going to end at 11.30 p.m. that night.
And when I told my dad, he got upset, and I don't know...

... shouted at me, and nagged as well?

Okay, it was unfair, so I just told him that I'll just get the letter and then he can come pick me up.
Turns out, the coordinator didn't show up.
She had to leave for Thailand for an outreach programme that night at 3 a.m.

So I had to make another arrangement with her bro.
I'll be able to get the letter the next day at the 6 p.m. Mass...

-.-;;

I still felt bad la D:

And a small part of me felt like I had wasted my time,
since 75% of the afternoon-evening spent was just waiting to pass time.

Oh, wait.
Come to think of it, maybe it was a good thing that I went anyways.

That night, Addelynn had called me after I SMS-ed her to tell about the letter...
Then ended up talking to her for like... 45 mins!! LOL!

Who knew that she also went to Sunway for A-Levels? haha!!
So, if any of you knows the Physics tuition, please tell me :)

She wants it :D

Slept at 3 a.m. today -.-;;

Okay, that's it I guess...

Closing pic :)

Mark... being narcisstic.

Lol... like he was the only one who did it :P

Happy April's Fool Day!!
+ Driving Lesson #1

[If there were such a thing xD]

Anyways, today was a scary day... sort of.
Well, simply cause...

It's my first driving lesson!! OhMiGosh!

Man, it took awhile for me to get used to using my feet.
I wonder, how am I supposed to pass the JPJ test? D: D:

Dad was like, super protective.
He purposely delayed his work hours and followed the car to a lane in my residential area...
[Don't wanna use too many BM; I want to improve my speech :D]

After that, I learnt about the gears.
Wow.
Didn't know that there were 6 gears 0.0
5 gears for speeding, one gear for reverse x.x
The furthest I've ever went was 2nd gear.
That too, at snail's speed xD

I doubt I'd ever use the 5th gear -.-;
There's no way am I going to speed anywhere x.x

Then, I also didn't know...
there were 3 pedals in a manual car.
Apparently, my parents drove around in automatic cars,
so I'm used to seeing 2 pedals.

But it was okay, I think.
So long as the instructer is helping out! xD

hmm...
Today, being my first day,
I finally understand about the clutch, brake, and accelerator.

It was sort of humiliating, too. LOL.
Especially up the slope. Cool xD
My car kept dying though D:
Released the clutch a little too early.

The instructer too, was pretty helpful... and kept repeating the words.
When changing gear [my very first lesson!]
He kept saying, "push left first, then go down."
lol

When reversing and driving forward, he said,
"Forward, stop. Reverse, stop."

Somewhere along the way, he lit a cigarette.
I asked him not to smoke ;x
He threw the cigarette xD lol!

 hm...
It was okay, I think.
I got to remember to relax! haha
And the steering...
and when braking, I must push the clutch all the way down.
If not, the car will die -.-;;

Well, the car did die...
many times today.
I think about... 20 times? ahahahahaha

The worst was the reversing part,
at the top of my house's lane is actually a steep hill.
No, I'm okay with steep hills liao.
BUT!! Dunno why today;

A LOT of cars park there =.=;;
I was so scared of banging into my neighbour's cars -.-;
Then again, if I bang, 
they have to be understanding, right?
Still =.=;;

Embarrassing!! D: D:
