Rambling

I can be so long-winded sometimes. Sometimes it's not that amusing. And I mumble every single time. Then I get misunderstood. Sometimes I laugh it off. Today I went to Jonkers. And passed by Casa del Rio. I think I wanna own a hotel someday. Maybe the management course isn't so boring or irrelevant. I'm having fun doing my business project. My homemade jellies were a hit :) Am watching Eric Clapton's live version of 'Wonderful Tonight'. Just found out he plays the electric guitar. That's so cool. This song may be included into my list of songs-for-my-wedding. I like songs before the 00's. They sound wonderfully meaningful. Oh it's 1.10a.m. already. I should sleep soon. There's practice early in the morning :( but I'm not involved in the evening. I can go to Youth :) God has been helping me with my schedules. He knows I'm bad at time management. I don't just want to attend Youth. I feel a need to do so. The Bible study sessions refresh me. It was a nice Friday. I have everything to be thankful for. Blogging is fun when I don't put much thought into it. Pun intended. That is if you got my joke. Welcome to a glimpse of the world in my head.

Irony

I was shooting an interview for my video assignment one fine day outside the library and there was this noise that sounds much like a filled plastic bottle dropping on the walkway. One of my friends screamed and I turned to see, this grey dove lying on its right side with its eyes closed, motionless. You could tell that it just died, with all the feathers flying around it. It was a horrific scene. Thank God I didn't see any blood. I could only imagine how my friend felt after witnessing the bird falling to the ground. We reckoned that it  flew into the walls of the library and knocked itself to death. The walkway's high roof was connected to the library so it couldn't have fell from any tree. No, I did not take any pictures despite having a camcorder in my hands. It wasn't a scene I'd want to remember. Oh, and the topic of my video assignment was about how loneliness is the core reason of teen suicides. I'm not saying the bird committed suicide. I'm saying it might have been feeling empty. >.<

Too late?

I'm already in the middle of the semester. Oh well.

Refresh

I've been wanting to post something for awhile. Never got enough 'time' to do it, apparently. You'd think being a Management student would make me a better time manager. It's not that I felt like I should post something, but I had all these random daily events that I wanted to share. Of course, I can barely recall any of them now that I'm actually writing. Sigh. Sometimes our days can be so routine it feels robotic. Or they can be so packed you don't even have time to reflect upon them with your thoughts full of things-to-do-tomorrow. Or they can be so empty you don't even wanna tell others what you did (or did not do) 'cause it'll sound pathetic. Maybe being happening isn't the key. Maybe it's just about finding joy in doing the little things. Do something different today, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

Write a note to someone. Serenade your mom. Rearrange the furniture in your room. Hug someone you've never hugged. Say hi to the kid next door who's afraid of you for some unknown reasons. Watch the Asian Food Channel. Try kaya-flavoured waffles instead of chocolate-flavoured ones.

Even though these sound like things I list out for myself, you should try it too.

I'm Thinking...

...that I need to brush up on my guitar skills.

Blessed Birthday Kor!!

My first ever birthday dedication post! And such a special honour is reserved only for my one and only kor. (everyone go 'awww') :P

Been waiting since my birthday to write back a birthday dedication for you. But please bear with me, as I'm not such a fluent writer nor an adept conveyor of my thoughts.

First of all, you know more than I do how much you've done for me. Of course there's the obvious ones like paying for everything I eat. Haha. But seriously though, I can't keep up with the amount of money I owe you. But of course, you'll be quick to dismiss that. There's also all the cool profile pictures you took of me. And then there's you inviting me to the hangouts you organize. I can go on and on.

I've told you before and I'll say it again that you've really made me feel like I have a brother. (I haven't been complaining about not having a brother ever since! Haha) It isn't fair though, to use it as an excuse, when I left you out of MY hangouts. Sigh I feel so fail as your 'mui'. I resented the fact that I made you feel left out when all that you have done is make me feel like I belong. I can't thank God enough that He has somehow used you to bring me closer to Him.

I still remember the speech you shared during Youth Sunday, where my mum told me she likes how you can relate to people. I couldn't agree more. You always have stories relating to other people's problems no matter their age, amusing them (especially me) with your good humour about yourself. I admire the way you genuinely care about each youth and always know what's happening in their lives. Even when I first started uni and seldom went online anymore you still found ways to catch up with me, and it meant alot at that point of my life when I was getting discouraged. And you were concerned of why I sounded emo/sleepy over Skype and asked me to go sleep 'cause I'm sick. I feel so undeserving of your brotherly love. Yeah I think I won the battle of 'Who's The Worst Sibling'. Not that I want to win it. Lol.

I'm still in the middle of composing this when you wrote a post for the 35-year-old you! And you made me so teary! :'( See lah I forgot what I wanna write dy. Well brush up on your piano skills 'cause you'll not only be playing "So Close" but also "As The Deer" at my wedding! That is of course after I ran through with you for your approval of my future husband. You'll always be the only Kor I have :) I'm glad that you found the peace you've been searching for. May God continue to use you for His works and bless you with the awesomest things in life that you so deserve. You've been such a blessing to me and God has been so gracious as to have placed you in my life.

Happy Birthday, Kor :)

Love,
Your Mui

New Template!

Don't you think my new background picture AND header is so awesome that you want them for yourself?? By the way, you can't, 'cause I own these pretty pictures. And of course copyright also belongs to the artist who is none other than Dylan Lim himself :D *cue jaw-dropping expression* Yes he drew them himself. Well it's not that surprising either, considering the prodigy that he is. ;) I could not have found better pictures from the internet!

*squeals* MY BLOG SO CUTE I WANNA SQUEEZE IT. OR PINCH IT. I can't help staring at it. Just looking at it makes me grin :D

Thank you again Dylan!
