Cross Roads

hey.. whoa, my plan to start blogging again 5 months ago is like totally failing. but here i am :)

hmm... facing difficult time in life now. So many friends and relatives flying off to further their studies. As happy as I am for each one of them, kinda sad to see so many leave so soon. -sigh- i guess that's part of life. Sometimes you've gotta let go of some things.

I kinda realized I never really took the time to appreciate having them here. Always having such a good time that I just never really thought that we'd come to this point. Figured we'll live life the way it is. Guess there are times in life where changes come and you gotta be strong enough to handle it. I just wish them all the best and hopefully we'll still be as tight as ever when they get back :)

For myself, watching them go makes me feel rather restless. I need to get out and do SOMETHING! but at the same time, i still feel a lil' insecure bout going overseas. ever got that feeling? that maybe you might not fit in or end up in a situation where you don't know what to do and there's no one to help you. :/

oh well, things come and go. I'll trust in God that whatever plans he has for me will be for the better. Uni life has resumed into the 2nd semester, doing well so far. Hurt a lil' here and there but still surviving. from now on, i'll try not to get too deep into things that i have no control over. And especially not to force things that are just not meant to be over-exerted.

tough decisions ahead! i know He'll guide me through and through. Praise the Lord!

till the next one again peeps..

My Life

Story of my life...

Greyson Chance's Waiting Outside the Lines~

You'll never enjoy your life,
living inside the box
You're so afraid of taking chances,
how you gonna reach the top?

Rules and regulations,
force you to play it safe
Get rid of all the hesitation,
it's time for you to seize the day

Instead of just sitting around
and looking down on tomorrow
You gotta let your feet off the ground,
the time is now

Stuck in that same position,
you deserve so much more
There's a whole world around us,
just waiting to be explored.

A little more to life?

heya.. been a long hiatus from the blogging scene. so thought of getting back on it. I'll start of from where i left off. last year was a good experience. new lifestyle, friends, environment. I'm thankful it all ended well. though, the only downside was falling short of the 85% mark scholarship by a mere 2%. Oh well, thats the price you pay for constant Dota-ing day and night.

so anyways, moving on to the new year ( can't really call it new seeing as almost 3 months have passed!! xS ) degree life has been okay. hopefully I get a car soon, that'll really solve so many transport issues. having some skin issues again (de ja vu of early form 5 again :( ). hopefully when i read this again in a few months time, it'll be a positive look back.

Well, in case ya'll didn't know the Oscar awards just passed.. or was it Academy awards. anyways, Natalie portman was nominated for best actress (something like that) for her role in Black Swan. I personally thought the movie was okay ( not my cup o' tea ).

then I begun a research on her life. there's so much more to her than just her acting. I mean, her acting speaks volumes for itself, but she also excels in the other parts of her life. Academically and whatnot. Even named valedictorian :O

So, thinking bout people like that. and my cousins who've gone overseas to further their studies for example. gahh.. i feel so, i don't know whats the word. pathetic? lifeless? not using my potential to its fullness?

I've always wondered if I lived overseas like the US or something, that maybe i could've had more opportunities to life. or maybe exposed to a culture that could've propelled me to greater heights?

too much imagination and thinking " what if " isn't too good i guess. What I should be doing is to live my life like any other. I guess it has its moments too :D

this question will forever be a mystery. till the next one peoplez

Quotations!

hey guys.. just wanted to post some nice quotes i've gathered from all around the internet. see if any suits you : D


I want to be your favorite hello, and your hardest goodbye

Love your heart, don't cry it out for someone who doesn't even know your real name

To do what you love for your living means to actually loving your life

Sometimes what you need is to avoid what you want.


It's not about who hurt and broke you down, it's about who was always there and made you smile again

I love non-stop texting phase with the person I like

When I text u, means I miss u. When I don’t, that just means I’m waiting for u to miss me

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams

Boys.. Don't make her wait for you just because you know she will!

Don't show too much love to anyone. Coz sometimes, it creates a non-curable pain when they start avoiding you

Just because we don't say certain things, doesn't mean we don't feel them.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine

A real relationship is like a river, the deeper it gets the less noise it makes


Sometimes the best memories are sad, because you know they will never happen again

People that are meant to be together always find their way in the end

I promise that there will be a day, when I won't be waiting for you to fall in love with me


Yeah, that's pretty much it. I've chosen those that somehow or rather relates to me once upon a time. haha, see if it applies to you! till the next one people.

Human minds

hey,
it's funny how those you think of the most.. think hardly if not nothing of you at all. and those you think hardly if not absolutely nothing of.. think of you the most.

haha.. that's all. wanted to convey that message :D

Oh and dad let me drive his car the other day! haha.. it wasn't long before i drove it alone. feels so much better than mum's WAJA. alot smoother.. no offence to the WAJA :D

I've just had an extra add math class on sunday. Yeah, the good deed! lol. hey! i didn't even charge for that class. sometimes, you've gotta think bout others first you know? you never know, it could end up beneficial to you more than the other person.. :)
Not sure if we can finish the syllabus in time for any sorta revision. i can only pray and hope for the best!

Ahhh.. i've agreed with my gym buddy, Alfred to start off Saturdays with study time at church library in the morning... oh man! my whole saturday is fully booked! hahaha awesomeness

tonight's CLeague resumes.. hopefully MU beat Valencia tomorrow. too many draws away from home! Even last Sunday with Bolton! GAHH!!!

Passing phases

yeah, another blog post here. seems a rarity that I write stuff here anymore. so anyhow, i don't know.. past few weeks or so have been some what of like a phase. In a bad way!

it's like I tried to think 'bout what happened but nothing really stands out. Well, apart from the fact that I lost my voice for a good 5 days or so. Btw, my voice changed somehow. Don't know if it sounds better or not, some said it cracked! at 18?!? xS

Shows that i've been doing some seriously unnecessary stuff. ever get that feeling? regret as you burn daylight. watch it fly by without even noticing at times.

oh and she came by the house for a night the other day. I was leaving the guard house almost simultaneously as she was entering it. I could see the grin on her face as I stared motionless, watching her dad drive by my car. It was like in the movies! only, this was so real and now I know what it feels.. time stopped for a moment there



But oh well, after recent events I think its time to let go. Not worth the effort nor time. Yeah, sometimes it's just best to let go of something 'cause you never know.. something better is in store for ya. xD

ooh, and I've embarked on the SAW marathon. Watched it with the guys last night, SAW1 & SAW2. can't wait for the next one...



and Worship Conference was awesome!! Sidny Mohede was uber awesome! I never knew how good Indon/Malay songs could be. he really rocked it the other night. sadly, i wasn't able to make it for glen packiam's one... sigh - wasn't feelin' well -

AHHH!!! i musn't forget the 3-2 score!! HAHA!! It's okay Liverpool fans, you still have the League Cup! oh WAIT!! you're outta that too! HAHAHA!! Europa League then, 'cause MU ain't participating in that one. :D




gahh.. another long long day ahead tomorrow. doing worship again this weekend after such a long time. need some practice :S fingers getting rusty.. here are some of the songs im playing :)





anyways.. its 3.24 am now! gosh i need to sleep. till the next one peoples!!
