Musical In Progress

Holidays are so super awesome.
I've been going out almost every day, definitely spending alot of money.
But I totally enjoy it.

So here's a spoiler.
I'm writing a script for next year's CF Musical.
Yes folks, it's gonna be a musical, hopefully.

What is it about?
I don't really know now.
But all I can say is,
It's gonna be like a story,
But it's not like a story.

Make a wild guess?

But why?

Do you know the way it feels when you hear shocking things? I know and I can testify to that. For the past 2 days I've been exposed to certain happenings that really terrified me, in a way. It's like quadruple shockers today. When I heard it, my heart seriously sank. Though I'm not even involved in any part of it but I feel really sad. It's been bothering me, to be frank.

If it were to be someone else, I wouldn't have felt so bad. But it happened to people that I esteemed highly, as a role model. Not just one, but many. I still can't comprehend the condition till now. It's like something that will never ever happen in a million years. And I thought it was something pure. Why must it happen to someone I care, I respected and I was closed to?

I guess I'm in no position to pass any kind of judgment at all because I have my own share of guilt in my own life. But sometimes I rather they'd murder someone than to do that. Well, I do understand the fact that even the greatest of man fall. David, a man after God's own heart fell; Samson had his big fall as well, if I may name a few. God did ask us to forgive our brothers and sisters. I have and I won't judge at all because who am I to judge them right? But there's this unanswerable question passing through my head, "But why?". I guess I'll never know the answer. Who knows, the same thing might happen to me some day(hopefully not). No wonder non-Christians perceive us Christians as hypocrites and I'm guilty as charged.

I hope things would get better and I'll definitely pray for those who are involved. My heart goes out to those who were hurt and also the one that caused the hurt. I can't deny the fact that I'm quite bothered. I don't think I can ever see things or people the same way again. The innocent barrier has been broken.

Oh well, at least I had good fun today getting lost in the whole of KL, having lunch with my dearly beloved sister, having a good laugh and a good talk, eating Jerk BBQ, looking at baking equipments and materials, drinking 7-11's Nescafe as well as practising drama for Christmas. I thank God amidst all the bad news, He still blessed me with amazing things.

A nice scenery I took from my Broga trip~

Climbing Love

Just the thought of going for rock climbing excites me. This time around, I was pretty determined to get my own pair of climbing shoes and also to get passes. Both these decisions will really save money for me. And as all savings plan would work, you need to fork out some money and then it becomes worthy.

Anyhow, I don't know which I should buy. Should I get a cheaper one and like what Christine said, get a better one when I become more pro? Or should I get a really good one and last forever...almost forever? As usual, cheaper things just don't seem to look nice but nice things don't seem to be cheap as well. Dilemma to the max. But judging from my empty wallet, I guess I'll go with the former.

I'd really like to get something like this:

...nice but causes a bomb!

***The one that I might buy is RM180. Christmas is near though. Anyone?

I'm On Holidays (FINALLY!)

So I know I haven't been updating this page for some time. As you may or may not know, this semester is a short semester. Taking 2 subjects in a short semester can be considered a killer, especially when you're in Year 3. And when you're taking Financial Accounting 3 and Multinational Finance, it brings you extra pressure. Anyway, today was my last paper. This was by far the most stressful subject for me in my whole UCSI study life. The fact that I can't balance ALL my accounts today didn't even bother me because I can't wait to get out of the exam hall.

And so I treated myself with sushi. I just spent about RM30 for sushi, it's not expensive right? Or is it?

Anyway, I'll be having a 2-months break from studying. Can you believe it? I never had that before and I'm going to savour every moment of it. Though I still want to get something to do to earn extra disposable income but definitely not a 9-5 job. I think I would even be busier than during the short semester studying. And you're asking what do I have to do? Let me see.

• 2 scripts to memorize and learn
• write a musical for Easter next year
  
• a couple of articles to be submitted to some random person
• planning for TOUGH team outing
  
• attend Public Mutual training every Monday
• tuitions almost every other day
• setting papers and preparing notes for tuitions
  
• Christmas skit practices
• worship practices
• choir practices
• rock climbing
• working out
• catching up with my TVB, Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives, Glee, 30 Rock
  
• *I'm gonna learn how to make sushi

Not gonna be as nice as these but at least I'll try.
If they don't taste good, I'll ask others to eat.
If it's nice, I'll make it every other day and only for myself!
I've always been a big fan of sushi!

Looks like there's a lot to do but one thing that's really important, I ENJOY doing all of them without any hesitation. It's definitely more fun compared to income statements and balance sheets.

I'm just gonna make use of my 2 months doing fun yet meaningful things, then there's no regrets.

*It's just a possibility. Not even sure about it.

Detour to...

...my second home - MetroTabernacle - WELCOME!

Doesn't it feel good to be a part of a great church? Having the privilege to tour around the new building even before we move in is such an honour, seriously. After uploading the pictures in Facebook, everyone's response was "Wow", "Whoa", "Awesome" etc. Those were the exact same words that I uttered when I reached the place. Just the front part itself amazed me with God's greatness. The other time I went for media shooting, it wasn't even this nice and look at it now.

Since you weren't there, I thought I should give you a pic-tour through my blog. Let's begin...

...with the lobby:

I can't believe we're actually having lifts and escalators. This floor comprises the King's Kids hall, classes and the Language Hall. There are various empty slots up for rent. Rumours said that one of the tenants would be Gloria Jeans. I don't mind having Starbucks in my church.

Next to the Language hall:

This is where the chinese congregation meet, or the NexGen-ers. Not forgetting there's a baptismal pool on the stage covered up and used when necesarry.

Now to the King's Kids hall:

You know, I seriously don't mind becoming a kid again, worshipping here. It's so huge. And right inside, they have 24 classes and a library. Imagine if I'm the kid in one of those big classes, I'd be so fruitful in learning.

Let's take the escalator to the 3rd floor and here we have...

...the badminton court:

Pastor said the very first thing that can be done in the new building is to play badminton there. It's up for booking NOW! Even as unsporty as I am, I feel like playing badminton already.

And the most exciting of all, the main hall:

From the side of the hall~


From the stage~

I still am not over the fact that I'll be worshipping here every Sunday. It'll be such an awesome experience being in the hall. Able to fit around 2400 people, they have this upper hall to accomodate more people. I think I'll sit there for every service.

Some things that got my extra attention:

This is the cry room for babies. Totally soundproof and cushioned~


The lounge outside the main hall. I have a feeling there'll be too many places
to just chat and talk~


Basement parkings. Means can go to church in any weather condition~

Knowing that I played a role in building a church makes me feel so proud of both myself and my church. It's truly God's blessing upon this awesome church and we'll make sure His name is shouted LOUD and CLEAR using this blessing He's given to us. As we've been singing lately,

"Greater things have yet to come,
Greater things are still to be done in this city..."

Mon Chambre

I've always have this dream room image in my head but due to laziness and lack of money, I just put it aside. So, with my Wondermum's initiative all gung-ho wanting to paint my room, I'm totally game for it. After all, I promised her for quite awhile but have been postponing it.

Waking up early, getting prepared for the big day, I was pretty excited considering I don't even do such things. We decided to paint my room in 2 tones, ocean blue and pearl blue. Can you imagine, after having dim sum in the morning, we didn't eat till night because we were so into painting and working things out. If you don't believe me, check these out:

It's alot of shifting and moving~

See? There's newspaper. It means we're painting.

You won't see any pictures of me when I'm painting. It's totally unpresentable! Thanks to my neighbour and another neighbour's son for lending a hand in carrying my bed out and shifting it away. Bed? You will know in awhile. If it wasn't because of them, my mum and I would probably be dead standing and might not even finish till 100 years later.

Anyway, here's a gist of how my room is right now. It is still far away from my own standard, but making do with what I have, I'm quite satisfied. There's a definite difference from before and after.

The old one~

The new one~ Doesn't it look way neater?

Now I can explain the bed thing. I've been sleeping on a double decker bed all my life. It's so nice, I don't want to give it up but I can't stand having a double decker but only one person is sleeping on it. I've been meaning to get rid of it and buy a new bed. After much consideration, I can just remove the bottom part and put two mattresses on it and it'll look like a nice single bed by itself. I even changed the bed sheets. I think it looks rather trendy now, not so dead to be exact. Mind the ugly curtains, I'm changing them soon. It's so comfy now that I can just fall asleep once I'm on it. I bought this quilt comforter and it's really comforting. You should get it.

Then I shifted my study table to the other end because it's nearer to the switch. Plus, I can finally use the shelves I bought the other day to put my books so that I can look smarter have the motivation to want to read. I can now have more space for my files (I do have a file fetish).

Then there's my wardrobe. It's been a faithful cupboard for more than 22 years but it's just too small for me now. I can't wait for my new wardrobe to arrive. This time, I can buy more clothes and fill it up. And, I found a new spot I'd like to call it my Bags Galleria. I welcome more bags to be given to me from sling bags to backpacks to handcarry to whatever.

But they have to fulfil these criteria:

• Branded
• Looks nice
• Multipurpose
• I personally refrain from using pasar malam bags
  

And if you notice, even the light's different. I find it more suitable for reading and better for eyesight.

I'm really satisfied with the hardwork my mum and I have put in to make this room a better room for my own sake. Whenever I come into the room, I just want to thank God for giving me good things. It is only simple things (maybe not that simple) that can make me real happy and satisfied with my life. Things just don't have to be too lavish, though I wouldn't mind for sure. I can't wait to sleep every night now. =p

I can now officially call this room MY ROOM.
