God and Answers

Refering to the last post, just writing that in my blog made me all depressed and so i went to the Lord in prayer.......

HE ANSWERED!

Well people, turns out that God has, and was, giving me the answer all along, just that i myself wasn't listening to Him...I can't tell you much details but anyways from now on I'll be paying attention to what GOD says and not what my IMAGINATION says....Praise be to God for he answers prayers!!!!

"Hallelujah, For all You've done!!!"

How do you do-ed???

Time is passing slower and slower. Well it has been since Joy Camp last year! Last year's one month of holidays feels like its been a year...Weeks are becoming more like months. And to add to it, now that its school I only get online fun on weekends. That means I need to wait a month to touch facebook and to blog like this. =(

Why does time pass so slow? How come it used to be faster? Well I'm not really sure. Maybe it's because i think more? I imagine more things? Dream more? BIG MAYBE...

Alicia, if you're thinking what im thinking then yes, thats a BIGGER MAYBE...

Things have changed. Right this year, or in fact the ending part of last year, I stepped into a brand new environment. Not just school, everywhere. Something's just changed....SOMETHING....maybe its not the environment but me? Maybe I've changed? Everything just seems different. But change is nature so its expected...and I can't fully explain it as how I do to my imaginary someone at night, so well......

You have NO IDEA what im talking about, rite? Cuz neither do I!!!

Things have been like, blurred. I'm just plain confused, not sure about my own surroundings, not sure about what's going to happen, not sure what IS happening!!! I mean not just the part where you don't know which exercise ur teacher asked u to do, its more of among people.

What are people thinking now? What are they talking about? Have i offended them in any way??? How do they view me??? Why do i feel like an outcast even though ive done nothing exactly wrong? Why do i feel apart from others? Why am I so down over NOTHING!!! I mean i know we shouldn't be putting priority on how we look to others but still, perspective is important. That I've learnt, because it is. As christian witness other people's perspective is VERY important because we represent Christ.

I guess perhaps God is using this to show me something, put me somewhere, and I should just surrender myself to him and let his will be done in my life. But still!!! Why this down feeling after surrendering myself to him? Why? I WANT the ANSWERS!!!

Father God, show me the answers, in your time.

I guess if you've actually taken time to read all the way here, you're probably really not interested, very confused, not seeing any point in reading this, and will be pressing BACK to the page before in a few moments. Well, a blog is a place to pour out all your feelings, all your questions that you can share and that aren't too personal, so here it is. Whether you read or not, well, thats up to you. I'm just glad this is OUT OF ME!!!! ><


And the only saying that sort of keeps me going with some hope is what a really close friend once said, written below, reminding me of what GOD did for us:
"Today is the day! My God has given me a reason to celebrate!"

Sunset and Storm

One whole evening at the beach. Wonderful time for some reflection.

About sunset, the sun suddenly shone extra bright. Shades of red, orange, pink, hints of yellow...that was the sky. I saw the sky and a smile came naturally...Times like those are when the weather is just perfect for doing anything, not to hot, windy, scenery a beauty...Best memories.

It was then that my grandfather, or was it my uncle, noted that the reason the sun was shining so brightly all of a sudden is that there was a big storm approaching. The light from the sun reflected on the water raining down or something like that, making the the sky outside the storm look like that. Such a wonderful sight....but it blocked out the fact that a storm was coming, and in fact, coming very soon...

Almost immediately, the sky became totally dark. The shades of red became shades of blue. All became blur because of the upcoming rain blowing towards there. I stared at the sky...it seemed oddly familiar...Then the flash of lightning came to wake me up: Here's the storm everyone hates and many have been watching in fear of. My mom came in to pull me into the housePeople with their tents by the beach disappeared the next time I went out there.

Thinking about it, sometimes the sun shines too brightly in our lives. We're too comfortable where we are. We think we see what's going to happen and we avoid the few stuff. We don't see that there's a storm thats on its way, and however short, however quick that storm blows by, its gonna leave memories, gonna impact, going to affect you and your life. When the storm hits, thats the time when suddenly you're all blur, you're all confused, you don't know wat to do next. And you'll need a friend to actually come in and pull you out before it consumes you....But yet again, God promised the rainbow at the end.

I looked at this situation, I thought of you...I thought of US....

As I was sayin, our class party was pretty coooowell....we had all sorts of nice party foodstuff, n most important, SARAWAK COFFEE!!! haiiiiiii, one smell of it and everyone's legs went numb...

Even the teachers enjoyed it!!! Instead of going to other classes, they like came to our class, chit-chat-chit-chat, then very puas so they go back to teacher's room straightaway...not to mention how we were always in front of time...its like the disipline teacher will say "START CLEANING UP" and we say "We alreadi have...." and they say "Start arranging the tables for exam d..." and we say "Oh! We finished that twenty minutes ago....

The commitee did a great job with this whole party...I must commend that they did their jobs reli well...n though the coffee went kinda slow, but i must say everyone was happy. RELI HAPPY!!! i mean like 1T11 even called a buffet company for the party, but it somehow wasn't that happy like our class party was, i heard..

PRAISE THE LORD for our class party success...

JUWITA n LIANG day


After a few weeks of practice...finally the time has come for...
BB DRUM CORP in JUWITA n LIANG CONCERT!!!!!!
So, the day started of quite alrite...went to primary school to collect money: RM10 per A in UPSR so thats RM70...Fast-forwarding to wen i spoke to Naresh later in that day for a while...
"70 ah!?!?!? My goodness...my school get full A(s) only get RM2...." haha...
Anyway, we started of the...OOPS! Forgot the date thingy!
15th May
Saturday
Sometimes refridgerated and sometimes roasting - (especially on our way to McD.)
So, we practised as usual...most of our meals for the whole week was McD. I still remember david yee's trying to go to McD using the FREE SCHOOL STYLE......
The gate turned up closed...HAHAHA BEENZ!!!
Yup...i took the normal way while he went into free school...n like, went all the way to nearing McD there and the gate was closed...so i had to wait soooo long for him to go bak to the main gate and come out again.
That day we saw LIANG n JUWITA earlier than u guyz...we went in to see them practising, and Dinesh swooped out his phone and actually started recording right in front of the stage! So Liang used us as his audience for the "OK" song...
He was like "You six over there...c'mon let me here u sing! OoooOooooooOoooo Ok..." And we din have any mikes so we tried to make our voices heard over all that music by the band...
That night itself the concert was FAB! The only sad part about it was that not many new ppl came, so most ppl there were christian fellas...n so when i tcame to alter call, no one went out...Never mind about that, OVERALL WAS GREAT!!!
Though, cuz we din have enough practice, this drum performance wasn't so gud...dinesh got the last beat wrong, so the ending was just improvised xD...n poor dinesh told us bout how his drum became senget and couldn't some bak...aish, as long as it wasn't so gud...

improvised ending...xD (if u notice, some of us are hitting sitcks, while others are playing the drum)
But NO WORRIES!!! Everything turned out fine!!!

Youth and Liang (hu can also be counted as youth xD)

Well...lets just say that after WTR, the whole week was just BAND PRACTICE for sports day...

3rd-6th May
Monday to Thursday
Oven on High Heat

That whole week was just in the sun, in the sun, in the SUN...SUPER HOT...this is my first time carrying the saxophone on one hand, and my arm reli hurt...(in cooking terms, i was a chicken roasting in the oven with a hurting left wing...xD) Me n jie just dun get how my two section leaders: Jin Xian and Wei Loong can carry it near their elbow...we can't balance it, so we carry it on our muscle, which sprains the whole thing...haiz...

So the next few days i padded my arm so that i'd be in good condition for sports day...i stuffed the left wing!!! xD

In the oven with extra layers of clothing, which traps much more heat in...



SPORTS DAY!!! ITS HERE!!!
So, as practiced, we marched here and there...now my arm was getting kinda used to the weight, so it didn't hurt much...still CAN'T play songs while marching...i dun get how they do that...
I was reli lazy to take part in any items (n i guess i will be for the next few years xD)...so all i did was slp in the band room, or read "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" borrowed from Nathanael...whoever lent it to him...
Some picz:




If they're not clear, go check em out on facebook...they're under pictures of me...
