Back to life
Must have been 3 years since I last posted and honestly I'm not too sure where to start.
Hmm let's see... I've already left high school for two years and am entering university for degree next month. Much growing up in the process yet am becoming more lost than ever before.
Despite being already decided on which university to enter, I'm beginning to doubt my choice again. Geez, this seemed to be my major problem of the year! And I've been stressed out over and over again, big time.
shifting my options from overseas universities to local institution definitely is my biggest source of stress. Imagine moving from all clean in the middle of the city college to slightly out skirted and not so posh looking university. I may sound like a brat but this is what I've observed. Secondly, I'm downright worried and anxious about the people I will meet and whether I will be able to make lifelong friends like what everyone in the world says. Uni is the highest point in your life where you will have the time of your life and make friends for eternity. Fingers crossed about that too.
But then again putting these feeble complains and anxieties aside, the local U that I will be attending seemed like the though not perfect but most comfortable other than the fact that, sadly, it actually is my only choice if I were to start degree this year. Well knowing that it has a long history and a good reputation academics wise, the course and study outlines should not be too worrying. Also, being within driving distance, I would still be able to stay home and continue my weekly activities for another 4 years. Good or bad...I've thought through both sides and decided that the pros overwhelm the cons. So all's good.
Not knowing whether it is a healthy sense of motivation to think that I'm literally going to rush out of this country the moment I get my degree, but I do intend (actually I really want and have) to going overseas to further my masters. Now this part gets me excited every time. But then again, its after 4 long years to only think about. In the meantime, I want to enjoy growing up, hanging out with my friends, mend bonds in my family and... BEGIN MY TRAVELLING DREAM!
Gosh so much in my mind already yet im still running on the spot.
Till the next.
Sincerely,
A feeling much better Chris
P/s : i need a better design for my blog ;/

Howdy =D
Howdy,I often get stuck at the first line of every piece I write,not that there are alot of them. Yea so here I am starting this post with nonsense.
A year is almost gone and though I've been really looking forward to the long term hol. A part of mind starts bugging me about how SPM is nearing(and a year passes ever so silently and quickly). Creepy. Its been a week since the hols started and I'm kinda freaking out that I'm not freaking out about finishing my assignments. Yet. MAN!!! I do realise that piles of stuff are waiting to be touched(in my case to look is already a bonus),but I just seem to be moving slowly while time runs pass me,sneering. An hour used to be a pretty long time for me. But now,a day with 18 hours to kill is just downright un-enough.
I seem to realise God's presence in my life throughout this year and I hope this feeling along with my faith will grow stronger each day. Though the more I think the more I doubt. A guy from another church shared an incident about God playing His role in his life. It felt true and I believed it is. For whatever that happens in my life has a reason and it is God's will and plan for me. My mum told me this and I use to wonder if God really speaks through people. Now I believe. I've even experienced it,they call it the gift of the Holy Spirit. Wonderful.
All year,I've been learning more about God and about myself. I can't say that I've graduated from this process but it seemed that by discovering hidden qualities of myself I tend to grow spiritually. I ventured into things I've yet to experience but was wishing to before this like taking part in an electone comp(had fun! :D) and joining the church ministry. Will be vonlunteering for the Chopin competition tmr. It would be cool to at least have a look of how a piano comp is like isn't it?
Speaking of which I need to hit the bunks right now to avoid falling off my feet tmr.XD
Oh yeah,I finished THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS trilogy and its AWESOME, FANTASTIC. Really drool worthy. Haha!
Till our next post. :D
My short attention span works on everything except YOU. <3

You've got to be kidding me...
Found this in an email. You seriously gotta laugh, man!
Foolish Questions with 'Smart' answers:
BOY: May I hold your hand?
GIRL: No thanks, it isn’t heavy.
GIRL: Say you love me! Say you love me!
BOY: You love me…
GIRL: If we become engaged will you give me a ring?
BOY: Sure, what’s your phone number?
GIRL: Darling, I want to dance like this forever.
BOY: Don’t you ever want to improve?
MAN: You remind me of the sea.
WOMAN: Because I’m wild, romantic and exciting?
MAN: NO, because you make me sick.
WIFE : You tell a man something, it goes in one ear and comes out of the other.
HUSBAND : You tell a woman something: It goes in both ears and comes out of the mouth.
MARY : John says I’m pretty. Andy says I’m ugly.What do you think, Peter?
PETER : A bit of both. I think you’re pretty ugly.
Girlfriend : “….And are you sure you love me and no one else?”
Boyfriend : “Dead Sure! I checked the whole list again yesterday”.
Teacher : “Which is more important to us, the sun or the moon?”
Pupil : “The moon”.
Teacher : “Why?”
Pupil : “The moon gives us light at night when we need it but the sun gives us light only in the day time when we don’t need it”.
Teacher : “What do you call a person who keeps on talking when people are no longer interested?”
Pupil : “A teacher”.
Waiter : “Would you like your coffee black?”
Customer : “What other colours do you have ?”
Teacher : “Sam, you talk a lot!”
Sam : “It’s a family tradition”.
Teacher : “What do you mean?”
Sam : “Sir, my grandpa was a street hawker, my father is a teacher.”
Teacher : “What about your mother?”
Sam : “She’s a woman”..
Tom : “How should I convey the news to my father that I’ve failed?”
David: “You just send a telegram: Result declared, past year’s performance repeated”.
Teacher : “Now, children, if I saw a man beating a donkey and stopped him, what virtue would I be showing?”
Student : “Brotherly love”.
Teacher : “Now, Sam, tell me frankly do you say prayers before eating?”
Sam : “No sir, I don’t have to, my mom is a good cook”.
Patient : “What are the chances of my recovering doctor?”
Doctor : “One hundred percent. Medical records show that nine out of ten people die of the disease you have. Yours is the tenth case I’ve treated. The others all died”.
Teacher : ” Can anybody give an example of COINCIDENCE?”
One Student : “Sir, my Mother and Father got married on the same day and at the same time.”
Teacher : ” George Washington not only chopped down his father’s Cherry tree, but also admitted doing it.
Now do you know why his father didn’t punish him ?”
One Student: ” Because George still had the axe in is hand.”
LOL. I enjoyed it :D

I have no idea on how to start on this random post,let alonegiving it a title. GOSH!
It isn't entirely true saying this is random since I've longed to blog for a long time, but,oh well,I'll just let it go.
First things first,my house or rather part of it is under renovation resulting in the fact that my sister and I are 'stranded' in our parents room but we're lucky its air conditioned. Second,we ARE on holiday but NOT on holiday too if you define holidays as a relaxing period of time. I'm not only caught up in homeworks and more assignments,there are a lot of moving of stuff around the house,the whole household is practically upside down! Fortunately,the family spirit is keeping everything intact along with the grace of God. (:
Most of my going out trips have more or less been practices for the 21st anniversary event. Had a single ladies outing with VIVIAN C,PKY,IMN and WEN CAI. We were mainly called to celebrate dear imn's singleness. Kar Yee even wrote an agenda,tres cute la,I was laughing my head off though. It was eat talk more eating while more talking. HAHA! Then,I went shopping on Petaling Street last Monday! I've had a lesson on LRT boarding,cloth purchasing and experienced the thrill of running from street to street and shops to shops like shopaholic aunties carrying bags of stuff. WOOOOOHOOOO!!! Nice.
And now,Im cracking my head to come up with a theater script for next week's competition. Anything can happen but to come up with a good one now kinda need a miracle. I have two more chinese essays still to complete,more inspiration needed. Probably too much thinking has clogged up my thinking system. As you can see there are so many things in my life that is keeping my preoccupied already,maybe that can be a reason for myself to not think about ma FEELINGS.Hate being lovey dovey.Me and Wen Cai's phrase ;)
Thats for now. A man is drilling the walls of my house now. NOOOOO!!!!

Chicken Soup for the teenage soul~
Love and Friendship. Two big and real meaningful words to ponder.
For ME,they made up my life. They made me grow and and they taught me to appreciate life.
Just to promote a great book,though I bet many had heard of it. CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE TEENAGE SOUL ON LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP. One look of the title,I fell for it. Presently the owner of one now. :D
Within your heart,keep one secret spot where dreams may go.
- Louise Driscoll
I've found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck,take more chances.
- Brian Tracy
Love the quotes. They make you go "WOW~" and you'll feel all the better and different...in a good way.
Goodnight everyone! Sweet nightdreams and real dreams!

Where is the LOVE?
...some ppl got me got me question me, where is the love?
Where is the love?
A trip to the Home of Down Syndrome children - Da Ai has inspired me and changed my perspective of life.
Okay, so this was my day. That day.
Fortunately,that say was a Saturday with a morning that allowed me to snore longer. I woke at 8 anyhow. By 11, Chaw Hui, Zhen Ning, Wen Cai and I made our move to the home. Please dont say me bad or anything,to be frank,we had a real good shock or surprise when we arrived. We were still in the car after a minute outside the gate when I heard Chaw Hui said:"Tang Lao Shi(my mum), can u bring us in?"
LOL!
Why? Children with faces filled with curiousity and excitement were all standing at the door, staring at us! We cant help but stared back though I am well aware that staring is rude. We were at lost. Luckily with the help of the lady incharge of that place - aunty ah ling, we managed to chill out and not freak out. This trip was just aimed to complete our projects whether pandu's or kerja amal's in the first place. But any human(with a heart)would want to stay a little longer to make these children happy. We faced embarassing and blank moments in the beginning but you just get better and better with all these happening meaning getting more used to them.
As a wonderful creation of God, these children had been created their way. It may be sad to us, but to them it might be a blessing (complicated?). Anyway, my thoughts end here at the moment. I feel grateful,thats all I have to say after the craps above.

Lonesome Post~
Thanks to Prophet Nabi Muhamad,we had our day off from school,work or any form of stress.
But an extra off day doesn't allow me much time to get me high or craz-ing.
Went for a meeting in school this morning,no excitement. Chilled out in the afternoon without movie watching,not bad. Reader Digest kept me occupied which was maybe a little too much. Why? I forgotten about my dear,deserted-for-a-week electone. BOOHOO!
Guilt! Guilt! Guilt! XD
Well,not much inspired to write anything now. Presently at my cousin sis's. Using her real cool acer laptop but unfortunately unaccessable to facebook. Sad. Anyway,found loads of Mabel's photos while I was exploring this baby. Oh yeah,have I mentioned how my cousin sisters' are always head over toes over my niece. Their niece too btw. Haiz!
Grabbed a few to start this post. Cute? Whatever you say, I loved her no matter how she is. No buts.
Chiaoz~ Heading home soon.XD
