One down...another one to go...

What is it?What is this feeling??
Is it excitement?Relieve?Wave of exhaustion?Relax?Joy?
Yes! Yes! At last!!!
I finished half of my final exam!!!!!!!!
Ok la i only got two final exam this semester...But seeing that this FINAL semester is SSSSSOOO Blooddy (mind my language) stressful!!!!!!!!!!It was actually a huge, ok ok half of the relieve and joy i'm feeling now!
I was SSSSSOOOO nervous and stress when i take the exam! Partly was becaue i was not well prepared due to i'm SICK with fever and flu...How to really study when you are drugged with panadol?seriously!You just stare at the notes, looking very blur that people have to repeat any sentence or question to me only i understand what they are talking about man!!!!
But now....Eventhough i'm still feverish, flu and a bit dazed by the panadol actifast that i just had...I'm still very much relieved that i only have to focus on the last paper and i can scream in the top of my lungs "MERDEKA!!!!FREEDOM FROM EXAM!!!!!!!!!"
Now...rest first, tomorrow only start studying...heh....

*Note:i miss Nando's.....Can somone supply me Nando's Ceasar Salad please??*

Dream

I had a dream...
It was blur, and hazy when i arrive
I know i am in a different time space.
Everything around me looked advanced
Could i possibly be in the future?
I see faces whom i thought i knew
they pass me by like I'm a stranger
I try to hide or disappear back but i can't
I got scared, panicked and started to run.
i ran and ran
i ran till my lungs gave out
Than i saw you.
you and your clear cool face
You were the only familiar face amidst this confusion
i ran to you
bury my face in your dull orange/brown check shirt
holding you tight
and you,
you gently pat my head and say:

"Its ok, I'm here now"
Nothing matters more to me now,
the fear i felt,
the loneliness...
all gone.
gone.
And i know now.
I belong to someone.

Father I've returned

Like a prodigy daughter, I stray,
I was amazed by the world's lights and wonders,
that i forgot about home.
I forgot about the father waiting for me!
Not like the son, i did not waste my time in booze and women.
But i was captivated by life's business.
I worked from morning till night,
i told myself that I'll wait till the business is over only i come back home,
But i never did return.
I was depress, stressed and burdened,
yet i did not call on Him.
I thought that i can do it by my own self
but i was wrong
I realized that there is nothing more important than Him
So here i am ashamed, and broken
I came back home.
There i was on my knee, face full of tear,
All my Father did was run to me and hug me.
He pour oil on my head and cloth me with fine robes,
A feast was called upon for His daughter is back!
"Nothing matters to me because you are home!"says the Father
And i was glad because i am back!

It's over!!

At Last its over!!!The long hours of planning,organising, packing, painting, driving, begging, stressing and the pressure just for one event! and its all over!
It was an honour to have a blessed team working with me, i enjoyed every bits of it with them.they are a great team. We've gone though sleepless night together, drive, laugh, cry, stressed, nearly have an heart attcked, have fun together. Eventhough we have our differences but its ok :) We fill each other's strength with our flaws. Thats what that make us perfect :)
I was really stressed out though, something happened during the presentation. I think i might have a heart attack and brain explosion inside. I cried a little because of the pressure and stress. I felt really guity because i was the one who prepared it, and it just gone really messed up. I guess sometimes its out of our control. You may have a perfect planning, but bad things do happen :)
It was a good lesson to me. anyways i've forgiven people.
During my preparation, i received a call from a good friend. Asked me about my prayer life, of course ill be honest and say that it is not so good because i was focusing alot on work, assignment and thesis. It was a very unplesant conversation, i was accused of going to alot of 'events' and stuff like that. I'll admit i used to be like that but that time even when i have alot of events, i have a relationship with God. But this time, i am having a hard time having one is because of the stress and amount of work and assignment!I go out of the house early in the morning and return home midnight daily. Where i go? To work, college, class, assignment and do thesis. When i return home, all i want to do is to sleep due to extreme exhaustion.Friend say I go to alot of events? Now?THAT IS SO UNTRUE!!!!! I've got to say i cut down alot already!In fact i didnt go out at all, ok ok only once or twice!But not more than that! And i was accused of going to much event that i negleted having a relationship with God. I was furious!!!!HAVE YOU EVER REALLY ASKED ME WHAT I DID?WHAT YOU REALLY REALLY GET TO KNOW THE REASON BEFORE YOU POINT THE FINGER! I undestand that you care but please DO NOT PRESSURE me when I AM STRSSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways i'm cool already, as i've promised myself that after all these stress is over, i'll spend time with God. And im starting to keep that promise.
Well for now other than God, i got exams....will do well for you Lord :)

Stressed

Thesis - Deadline is 10th Jan
Mr.Chuan Cultural Assignment - Deadline 12th Jan
Viva -16th Jan
Campaign - 18th Jan

People say that working is more stressful than college work....i dont think so...I think that college life is equalivent or more stressful than working life.... -_-"
When you have loads of work to do or think about, you'll tend to sleep less. When you have sleepless night...you'll will start to look like a China panda bear...your pimple will start to visit you...you'll get so blur that you think C is B and you'll be banging into things...you'll tend to hear alot of "its your fault" because you tend to make alot of mistakes...
Seriously! I need a break!!!!!!!

Singapore-Malacca (17th - 25th October) Part IV

Fourth Day
Date: 20th October 2006
Day: Friday


9am Woke up, but sis left d... :(
9.05am Get ready,eat breakfast than start my journey....Went though the same process of taking bus to MRT but this time i stopped at China Town MRT.
10.23am Reach China Town MRT...Start to jalan-jalan down the streets. It feels like KL's Pasar Seni :) I walked and walked and look at lots of things...i even saw this dress which was SSSOOO beautiful!!!but it cast $103 Sing Dollars!!!!!! *tears*
I manage to bought all my souveniors from China Town too...
11.45am Start looking for food. Try to find the store which my sis say that thier restaurant are famous for the ramen one ;) The store name is Bei Fang Feng Wei...ate thier Su Tang Ramen
Yum Yum....After emptying this delivious bowl of noodles which gives me enough energy to continue my journey, i start to walk all the way to Asian Cilivization Museum,. On the way i passed by the Singapore river and since i am still early,sat at the si
After sketching this cool antique building, my journey continues....
But before i reach the museum, i saw this monument...
Something from home...Information about the pole...
Behind the pole,there is a red fire hydrant... cool huh
In the end i reached the Asian Civilisation Museum just in time for thier guided tourThe ticket.
During the guided tour, the guide introduced to the place,the different culture which was shown in the museum, the things which is put there for us to view. I am amazed by the things in side and how well they did the place. You not only find alot of monuments and artifacts, they even put alot of touch screen computers with audio and visual to explain to you in detail about the different culture that is in it.
Imagine we actually have 46 htousand disland in sea through out the whole wide world~!
And in the museum, you can see how differnet culture view the world and a simple thing can have different meaning to different culture. Take for example when the buddhist statue (whch is a male) was brought from India to China. A part of the statue means gentleness, to people in china gentleness means feminism. So the people in China change the statue to a well known feminine god now known as Guan Ying. When people from the western came over to China and saw the statue. They thought "Hey the people in China is catholic as they have mother mary's statue!!!"
Cool huh...
I spent the whole day there that i almost lost track of time and in te end have to quickly browse though. But when i was about to leave this authentic one of a kind museum, i saw this sign!!!Yup BP De Silva...my client ;)
While i was in the museum, they have this special exhibition of the NOH, which is a form of Japanese art and drama...It is whereby they wear a mask and perform on stage.
Me trying to be like one of the Japanese performer... :P Where is my Noh??
I planned to be even more adventurous and walk from the museum to Bugis, than to Little India where i will meet my sister. But seeing that the trip to the museum takes more time than i thought it would, i decided to just take the MRT to the Little India stop.
When i reach the station, i meet up with my sister and her boyfriend, Siew Leong.
Aren't they just an adorable couple?
Seeing that the next day is Deepavali, we went to an Indian restaurant in Little India to have our dinner.
One of the road sign in Little India...Another street sign...
Me chi bao mei shi zhuo (after eating nothing to do) Take picture with the sign board hehe...
after dinner we decided to join the crowd and walk down Little India street...it was PACKED!!!! Fu yoh...it fells like i am packed in a sardine like that...Busy street...Me again trying to be cute ;)
After the little walk in the busy festive street of Little India,we went back home and plan for the next day's journey :)
