The Sky never was the Limit...with God

This is me playing the piano.
I need constructive feedback. (like anyone's going to give any)
Hahahaa.. =D

So I managed to dislocate my arm twice while bouldering yesterday.
After the first time, it just popped back into its socket and worked like a charm.. so I rested.. and promised myself not to climb.
Then after an hour, we were upstairs and in the more challenging section.
I decided to give it a go.

To pull myself up.
The moment I pulled myself up, my arm just came out of its socket with a "KRAK" kind of sound.
I fell back onto the mattress..not that far..but.. the arm.. the PAIN...

I tried to shove it back into its socket again but to no avail.
Thank God for people like Kelvin Kuan.. and his group of climber friends.

Apparently the clinic next door was closed >.<

They called my father. He rushed to the scene. All of that 15 minutes I was lying on my back unable to move myself in the fear of hurting the arm further and thinking to myself.. "HOW?? PIANO EXAM in TWO WEEKS!!!!"

My father managed to get me up and walking. Adrenaline pumping. The pain of moving the dislocated joint.
I almost cried. >.<

Dizziness rushed up to my head. I felt faint. Then at the door, the arm just popped back in place. Thank God.

I sat down and smiled and thanked Him =)
And said sorry to all of the group who had to stop their climbing to assist me, a newbie who didn't know how not to push the limits.

I learnt that there are many things in life that we just don't appreciate.
Not till they are taken away from you.

Stuff like your healthy body and the five or more senses *smiles*. And your voice.
And your friends and family and all those you love dearly. and those who love you. And your home and belongings and all your material possessions. And the little things people do for you that make you happy. And all of them who care for you. And think of you.

So now I learn to thank God for all His blessings upon my life.
And I'll live from day to day singing His praises. And smiling.
Now I know how it feels like to dislocate an arm. That'll help when I'm treating people later. =)

No more climbing for me.
Not till I heal properly.
Now my arm can move. But it's stiff and it hurts a bit.
But I know my limits.
I'm just too heavy for my arms to support my gargantuan weight. >.< *fat* =P

For now I'll just stick to badminton. =D

So it's finally all over.

Everything's over.
Finals are done with.
I thank God for the wisdom to read past year papers - 6 out of 9 questions were from one of those papers for Bio. =D
I was like looking through the paper and thinking "Wah wah wahhhhhh...."
happy. =)

All the studying was worth it I guess.

So the finals are finally over.
Then it was off to Mid Valley with the 5 of us - Kiran, Kah Yan, Vanessa, Jonas and I.
Or so we planned.
Just the night before, I was frantically booking tickets for 2012 at Mid Valley.

We ended up walking about in Sunway Pyramid and dining at Manhattan Fish Market, which happens to be a really nice place with great waiters.
10% service charge was really worth it. =D




But it was really more about spending time with friends, whether it was at the KTM station or exploring the colourful Pyramid interior or in the taxi on the way back then it was about watching a movie.
And it was the first time I visited that mall since Pesta 2006. I still remember eating at Long John Silver's.. lol..memories of Pesta. Band was awesome too.

Movies will come and go but friends will remain regardless of the movies and the rave reviews.


Slept at 2 am on Saturday morning and woke up early at 7 for SkyTrex.
This was my very first class trip.
In a nutshell, the activities (challenges) along the Extreme Trail were AWESOME. Tiring, yes, but AWESOME.

I have to thank my class for their support all the way.. after numerous class meetings with their persuasive class rep. =P

Those of my class who didn't want to go will regret it after seeing the pictures.
And the pictures taken there were equally awesome. =)
They're all on Facebook. All 200 selected pictures.. here only twenty-something











Facebook upload is getting on my nerves. >.< super slow. And when I have like 300++ pictures to upload, time is of the essence.. and speed of photo upload is indeed important.

After SkyTrex, I discovered in the taxi on the way back that Poh Chai, Sheila and Roshini were going to Mid Valley. I managed to get them to come with me to Pavilion instead. And pulled Vanessa along. Haha.. before she left the next day for Penang.. =)


The journey to Pavilion from Shah Alam was a rocky one through the increasingly-heavy drizzle and limited umbrellas.

It was also my first time acting as a tour guide.. for 4 friends - 2 from Penang, one each from Kedah and Pahang. I queued up to buy them tickets for the LRTs.. haha.. and pointed out landmarks along the journey. =)

By the time we reached Pavilion, we were half wet. Poh Chai was ALL wet. (kesian)

Yet again no 2012 for us. Vanessa spotted a notice saying "2012 sold out for today." after we queued up. (split into 3 lines to maximise potential of reaching counter earlier) Lol.. we ended up watching the "Fourth Kind". Pretty creepy movie. But there was warmth next to me. =D

Dinner was at Wong Kok Char Chan Teng. Quite nice food. But terrible lighting for photos. >.< Sheila was like scolding me for taking pictures of her. =P



Since Roshini's friend (I think boyfriend not friend) came with car, he sent her (and Sheila and Poh Chai) back to hostel, leaving me to get Vanessa back to her aunt's place, which I did. =D





I won't see any of them till.. next year.. =(
Well at least we had these gatherings =)


I reached home near midnight on Saturday.

Then came Sunday with church and a visit to Katrina's side for badminton.
Chum is a good badminton player. =)
Kat's not too bad too. =D

*but I still can't pull off a proper smash. argh. *


Monday saw my whole family going to Shah Alam. Visited my aunt. And collected my stuff from Cendana. Week-old clothes stink. >.< Lol.

Jonas was the only person in my room left. He'll be around for another week before flying back to Kuching.


Despite his near residence, Andrew was still around in Cendana. Settling JPKC stuff.. I'll miss my roommates too.



And my classmates. And my German Classmates. And and and.. other newly-found friends in INTEC.







But I already miss my MBS friends.. and BB friends.. Will see them soon =D

Btw.. how badly can Taylor's misspell my name? >.<

Out with the old and in with the New. Sapphire 4870 1 GB. Great deal. =D


Missing you.

By chance this morning I stumbled upon these verses as my copy of EDWJ had just passed its date. And I was interested.. so I read on. . and I think it's good to post it up here too.

A very interesting description of the ideal wife. (and I kinda agree with it.. super difficult to find such a person nowadays. >.<)


Proverbs 31:10-31 (New International Version)

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:

29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


Maybe one day I'll find such a person. =)

Godwilling..

Look how far we've come together.
And this is just the beginning.
This isn't It yet.

(but Michael Jackson's dance moves are soooooooo.... cool . =)

This is It.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Need to catch up with Sleep

Thunderous black clouds billowed across the shadowcast skies of Section 17 while sheets of rain pummeled themselves onto our umbrellas as we fled from the prying eyes of the Round One..

Exhausted but relieved, we plonked our weary bodies onto the plastic seat as the roaring monster took us on a tour of the town of roundabouts..while the Round One howled in disappointment and anger..huhuhu...

*fiction writing ends here*

Sudah lama aku tak gunakan bahasa Melayu.. tapi.. tak apa lah. =P

This week was a week of.. Lol.. fun =D
Music Faculty is a lot of fun.


Bio results and chem results.. were.. also quite fun.. in a sense.. my class is still acing the exams. *yay* .. *pressure*..



Time really really flies.. it's already the 'study leave' week ..'study week' in inverted commas because it's unofficial.. and I still need to go back for class on Friday.
After the 'study week' comes the final examinations.. which will mark the end of the semester.. a culmination of all we have studied.

I realised I have quite a few good friends in INTEC already and I thank God for them =)

Whether I need help or just want someone to chat with, I can always count on them. Most of them are my classmates and housemates and floormates.. and.. actually there are quite a lot of them. Haha..

There's Poh Chai, my trusty neighbour.. who never fails to do better than me in Biology.. and in presentations.. we go together in the morning almost every morning =)


Then there's Andrew and Kumar and Ali and Gan and Jonas.. who make my stay in Cendana worthwhile =) pillow talk takes up sleep usually.. lol.

And there's Steven.. who lives diagonally opposite my room.. he's just so dependable.. and a fellow BB Boy like me =D 1st Ipoh I think.

And there's Gordon.. (from Sarawak).. who's also a BB Boy. 1st Sibu Company. When I first found out his name, I was surprised because Gordon is my brother too.. hahahahah... and I play badminton with both Gordons. =D

Teah's a good friend too. We talk and philosophise and argue often.. haha.. he's the stylish and well-dressed type =) and sometimes we study together.


Then there's Kelvin. Mr. Popular.. but recently he's toned down his charm.. or so it seems lah. Maybe it's the exam stress. =/ Kelvin is a great guy too.. and all-rounder.. he can do almost everything.. and anything..



Song Hwee. The 'Korean' guy. I admire his easy going and humble attitude. He's really the definition of 'diam-diam ubi berisi'; never fails to score sky-high marks.



Chien Chong. The joker of the class.. he somehow manages to keep laughter coming.. it's his personality.. and he's very nice =) also another badminton pro.. (same as Song Hwee)


And there are more guys too.. which I can't mention because there are too many.. I need more time to get to know more people..


And there are girls too.
First up would definitely be Huan De. Because we spend a lot of time doing class stuff together.. lol.. I kinda pity her because she has to crane her neck to look at me.. =.='' But she's a really nice girl. =) And there are rumours.. heh heh heh.. but I don't spread them.


I identify well with Salha because we both think similarly. We carry the same train of thought. And she mixes well with the Chinese because she speaks the language. (primary schooled in Chinese School)



Diyanah is apparently the cutest in class (besides Huan De of course because she's smaller).. haha..sometimes we study Chem together.. and then I discovered her Chem book with the caricatures inside.. wow.




Kit Yeng or "Isaac" has recently worn different outfits to class every single day.. she has to go shopping every week..wow.. stylish future doctor. Teah's competitor in style.. but unfortunately Teah loses because he can't go shopping every week like her.. aww...



And then there's Vanessa. I don't know why the two of us are so similar. Same wavelength/style/method/type of thinking. Pretty much the same in almost every aspect. Getting to know her was like getting to know myself.. hahah =) and she's nice. (does that mean I'm nice? ) hahaha.. haha..



Ko PLN Night was great. Performances galore. Now I wish I'd performed too.. but.. as they say.. it's .. Too Late!.. to apologise.. too late.. ... lol..
