Looking beautiful...
I was just reading Perez Hilton and I came across this interesting article about Ellen Degeneres. She's the new judge on American Idol replacing Paula Abdul, she say she's having difficulties tolerating Simon Cowell's mean and critical comments, whereas she feels that she's being way too lenient on the contestants.
But that's besides the point... Ellen spoke out to promote a healthy lifestyle to women who think that they're too fat.
"It's a double standard because there are men with really beautiful women that don't have great bodies, and yet nobody's saying anything about that. Women [think they] need to keep themselves up to look good for a man or for society. It's not fair. Women are looking at bodies like that and going, 'My stomach doesn't look like that. I'm supposed to look like that?!' So they starve themselves and they work out like crazy. It's not important. We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy. If you're healthy, it's got nothing to do with how much you weigh."
Being an average person, this would sound very encouraging and inspiring to me. I know that looks are what make the first impression, but it's the character, personality and attitude that leaves the legacy. This is what I have learnt from real life experience. Some friends of mine are indeed very pretty: with nice features and slender figures, so? I'm not being mean, from speaking with my lecturers, and colleagues, I've learnt and understood that the pretty ones are the ones who cause their days to be numbered. Seriously, I'm not stereotyping.
There's a group in Facebook: Good looks attract the eyes, personality attracts the heart. (something like that...) So true man... For me, it's the same for guys as well. I don't do eyecandy stuff, neither do I like super duper hot and good looking actors. My favourite actor is Owen Wilson, he's really not that fantastic in terms of looks, but from what I can understand from interviews and his acting on screen, he's got a great sense of humour and persona, which I really like in a guy :) I don't go for Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio just because their good looking and hot.

I hate lizards...
... I really do. Too bad they're an essential to the diversity of the ecosystem, cos I really wished that such things didn't exsist.
I came home at 10.30pm on Wednesday after training only to find out that no one cooked dinner, so I thought, heck! At that moment I wasn't so hungry, YET! by 1am, my stomach was growling away and I could feel the gastric juices churning in my stomach, it's digesting air! I was really really hungry... But it was way too late to eat anything starchy. I tried to lullaby myself to sleep with Michael Learns to Rock, but to no avail, DUH. At 3am I finally decided to get something to eat, I really couldn't sleep at all.
I went out of my room turned on the kitchen light and I saw two small lizards and one huge one scurrying on the floor and walls. EEEEKK! I turned off the lights immediately and told myself that I would rather suffer than be in the same room as those things. URGH! Just can't stand them.
I posted this as a status on facebook. My senior Raden commented...
karate girl must b strong..nt only physically..bt also mentally..lizard is nth compared 2 d malaysian's fighter..so juz kill it d nxt time u see a lizard in ur kitchen..ok?? :)
How sia? I'm not afraid of my opponent during sparring, but lizards and roaches? NO THANKS! I'll forfeit the match. I really really really really shudder at the sight of them, they give me goosebumps.
I'm afraid that Raden's gonna put me through a trial with a lizard the next time he sees one, I'll faint and probably get barred from the KL tournament.
I'm joking of course.
So in the end, I didn't manage to get any food. Not as long as those lizards are sleeping there for the night. Almost vomited hydrochloric acid the next morning.

This song has been my motivation through the dark hours.. Through sadness, stressful times and frustration.
The song pretty much speaks for itself. I've been feeling rather stressed for the past few days (read my previous posts), pessimistic thoughts keep streaming through my chain of thoughts, one after another it drags me into frustration. Times when you feel helpless and nothing can pull you out of this hole, God is there, always is and always have been.
"He knows, He's been through pain before," is my favourite line. Knowing that God knows how I feel and what I am going through gives me a sense of warmth and assurance.
Alright, so anyway. The weeks ahead will be challenging, I need focus and motivation. My exam is just a month away, no kidding... That would be the end of year 2 of my poly life, can you believe that? It's just one more year and I'm graduating. Scary leh....
I have a list of things I wanna do before I turn 21. It's all wild and crazy ideas and you might think i'm a lunatic. But what the heck, I shall just type it out here just for laughs...
1. Get a canoeing license
2. Learn scuba diving, so I can swim with the fishes!
3. Mountain climbing next year
4. Travel with my friends after graduation
5. Fly to Orlando to visit the Harry Potter theme park... My mum will think I'm crazy.
6. Get my blackbelt in Karate
7. Run a marathon. I don't know why I jotted this down, must have been out of my mind, cos I'm not a long distance runner.
8. Cliff bungee, or anything that involves free fall
9. Sky diving. I'm serious.
There are a few more crazy items, but they're a little more personal and can only be achieved by my own willpower and God's blessings. Teehee~ Some of the items might not be able to be accomplished before I'm 21, because I'm gonna have to rob a bank to fly to Orlando. You're welcome to join me for any of the above mentioned :DD
I'm so sleepy right now I was actually typing rubbish... But of course I deleted it away...

Every night I dream of you, we're happily in love, But it's just a dream, how I wish it were real...
I don't know how or what... But I trust in God :)

Christians are so misunderstood sometimes....
I'm so pissed off with karate right now... Really turned off. Trainings are meant to be on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and I am committed to that. But what for add an extra external training on Sundays, why the hell for? If you want to have trainings on Sundays then go ahead! I definitely won't be able to come because I have my commitments in church. But SOME people have to threaten me by saying "If you don't come for Sunday trainings you'll be lagging very far behind and will be at a great loss. Also, you can forget about joining this year's competitions."
So I say, "I have church on Sundays, so I will never sacrifice it for school." Unless it's really important of course. And he says "Then you have to think about where your commitments lie." What kind of bullcrap question is that? Of course I was pissed off, I replied "CHURCH LAH!" in a very offended tone.
@#$%^&*()(*&^%$#@#$%^
First you threaten me, and then you question my commitment which, you don't even understand at all. I tried to remain really cool at that point of time, better not do something stupid, but i did roll my eyes. I was that close to considering quitting karate. What for I waste my precious time training when I don't have anything to train for? Dumb shit.
There're 2 overseas competition coming up this year, one in timbatu and another in timbatu, and I was threatened to be kicked out of the registration if I don't turn up for Sunday trainings. WHHHOOOAAAA~~~ Scary..... Like I care. Don't you dare say something like that to me. Because I can be daring too.
Just because you don't have a life, don't take mine away.

I haven't blogged since last year
Yep, it's the 5th day of 2010, can you believe that? Now my age begins with a '2', it's kinda scary yet exciting. I don't feel like I'm about to turn 20.
I'm air-rifle certified now :)
I can go shooting at the range whenever I want, once I get my liscence of course.
TP Open House is on Thursday! And I've got another green ASc shirt, I have something to wear for caroling this year :) But seriously, I have way too many green shirts from school, green is not my colour yet it just keeps coming to me. Can't wait for Jam and Hop! Karen, Ai Ting, Mahes and I had a blast last year drooling over Utt. We've got free lanyards from TP this year, it's not like the ugly one last year, this year's one rocks!
I was reading the TP magazine with Karen today, I realise something. ASc people are not in the magazine at all, except for Dineesha, but that part was microscopic puny. I guess AS doesn't like to participate in TPSU or any other TP stuff for that matter. Or is it because AS just doesn't have any good looking people, on a different calibre from the people in the magazines. Ohh well, I'm still proud to be an applied Science student!

Term break is here!
Can't wait for Monday. Malacca study trip is gonna be so fun, especially with the company of my favourite gals! I'm rooming with Daffy and Mahes, it's gonna be wild and crazy in the room. I think I'm gonna die of laughter co-habiting with those two jokers for four days. LOL!
The study trip ends on Thursday. Then on Friday, I'm heading for youth camp! Happening eh? Youth camp actually starts on Wednesday, but you know... Too bad that both programs had to clash. I feel bad about missing the camp. Cos I'd be leaving Puden to do all the programme coordinating. Ohh well...
It's such a fun filled weekend. Yesterday, my 5 Compassion mates came over for barbeque at my place. It was great seeing them again. I can't believe William came! I haven't seen him since last year, NS has been kidnapping him from being present at our class gatherings. He's definitely changed a lot. Good for you! :) As usual, the girls are always absent at the class gatherings. Despite the treaty, I guess there are still differences.
Credits to Murphy and his excellent $2K camera. It's so fun to use, but darn heavy. Not to mention it makes everyone's complexion look so porcelain when in true fact, our faces are super duper oily from the heat.
I love this picture and I love my family.
The youths came over to my place just now and we had an early Christmas party. The theme was school uniform. Daniel and Andrea were invited too. We had lotsa fun playing taboo, it's a classic. I wore the PHS uniform, I'm kinda happy.... Both my shirt and skirt are too big for me. When I was in Secondary school, I wore my skirt on my waist, now I could barely hole it up. I had to fold it so it wouldn't drop. Haha!
Tomorrow is Sunday! My favourite day of the week (except for the fact that school is just a day away). After church, me and my church mates are heading over to Puden's house for teppanyaki. Yummy! His dad is one great cook. I can't wait to fight for food. Literally!
I'm going for an air rifle course soon with the gals, sounds crazy huh? I really love learning new things and trying new stuff. But that doesn't apply to food. I will NEVER eat insects, monkeys, dog/cat, rats, or any funny organ related dishes that people claim is good for you. YUCKS! Sickos!
So anyway...
I'm looking forward to the holidays, even if it's just two weeks, and one week is already spent in Malaysia. I'm a happy child of God! :)))
