2nd Last Day Of 1st Semester

Sigh...tomorrow's the last day of college already. I'm not ready to give up the friends and company for a whole month yet but doing pass year papers everyday and every class is just unforgiving.

Latest news in college: "The student lounge is infested with fleas."

Students here and there have been seen with itchy red spots on their legs, some even got it on their bellies. I have no idea how it got there but it came to a theory that there were fleas in the college. Although so far I don't think anyone has actually seen the fleas, the evidence is rather compelling and yesterday the college underwent fumigation. It still stank this morning. Thankfully I didn't get any flea bites even though Ms Angeline says I'm always in the student lounge. I've suffered worse from the venom of sandflies. Be grateful these are only fleas.

Today, for once, the chain of boring classes has been broken. I fell to the last minute conscription of Min Htut and his team of July football players. They were low on players so I was approached and reluctantly joined. Turns out it wasn't bad at all. Get to skip classes and play football. It was an unintentional ditching I assure you. They lied to me about the duration the game! So 8 people crammed in Anthony's car and we went to SKBD. The juniors were playing the seniors as a friendly farewell but it was changed to July vs January.

To cut the long story short, both teams drew 4-4.

On the other side of the rope, it's Alithea's birthday today! Although I already wished you, I'll just wish you again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALITHEA!

Looking forward to more pyromantics on the grill and last CF sleepover for the year...God Bless!

Of Time...

Time indeed flies by so quickly. The end of the year is almost in sight. Just few more weeks and a new year dawns.



more week of college left!




weeks till Youth Camp!




weeks away from Christmas!




weeks herald the coming of new things!

In the meantime, I can only wait till these things happen. So, would anyone like to take me out for a movie? Futsal maybe? Pool sounds good. Lunch ain't that bad an idea. Shopping also can? Even Kinabalu again will do?

Saman!

I've been rather away from my blog this couple of days. Perhaps it's because the week has been dull or maybe this is just the time when all blogs are tested. To struggle to live on or just left to die. Anyways, a few things have popped up in this dry season. For one, I got booked, or in Malaysian terms, I got a saman. Well, I got booked but I didn't at the same time. Guess what I found when I googled my name, check this out:

Woo..scary

Then there was our usual CF meeting in college. And I was worship leading. I wouldn't say it went exactly as I planned, with bad pitching all over the place, but still I thank God because He took what little I had and made it into great worship for His glory. Speaking about CF, MCKL CF is having a bbq farewell for 0707s, AUSMATs and as well as camp reunion. All are invited. MCKL students only. Please come and join us if you are one, RM5 at 6.30pm in college on 28th November. Closing date for payment is 21st November to me or CJ. There are nice posters all around college and I should have taken a picture of it.

Then there was dancing that everyone has to do for OB night next year, which I totally detest and can never bear myself to do. I wonder what will happen to our 0901 juniors...

Then there was today...

Recently, I've been pondering about the song "Run" from Hillsong's latest album, "This Is Our God." I really like it and it really means a lot. And I was thinking, Darren Here's voice really fits. How I hope he would introduce the song some time soon. Soon enough, he did it today and it was great.

You were God from the outset
Powerful and creative
You who saw us here before you called
All the stars and the earth to existence

You are God you are Holy
History is your story
You, who was and is
And who forever will be
God we live for your Glory

So we will run
All together our hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God all Glory to your name
Jesus

You are God you are freedom
You're alive now within us
You who saw us here before
You conquered the grave
And delivered on the promise

So we will run
All together our hearts aflame
With a fire that can't be tamed
Our God all Glory to your name
Jesus


We will run
Our surrender to bring you fame
Our desire that you be praised
Our God all Glory to your name
Jesus


Time for another week to begin. The end of college looms near. Just 2 more weeks and my first semester of college is done for. Calvary Youth Camp is coming soon too. 1 more month! Remember, registrations closes at the end of this month! God Bless!

The Week That Was...

Exams have come and gone. America's elected a new president. And a lot of awaited movies have been labeled as trash. That pretty much explains my whole week.

Last night was the big night. Manchester United was playing away against Arsenal. A bunch of us went over to Adrian Chew's place to watch the game. The game was starting late so we headed over to have dinner at Sri Sinar, right next to the driving range and test road where I learned how to drive. We got together at a mamak stall where miloshake is a must have. So we were waiting for our food then we all looked at the guy making the shakes. He looked like a monkey on drugs waving bananas. The whole lot of us laughed. So loud until he heard us I guess. We all wanted to take a video and Kane even suggested to submit to video zonkers. In the end, we finished our dinner and we shook hands with the guy.

By the time we got to Chew's place, Arsenal had already unfortunately scored a goal. Samir Nasri took a shot that deflected off Gary Neville and hit the back of the net. And I just realized that Joewin stays there too. Everyone was an MU fan while Chew was the only Arsenal fan. At the break, he showed us his room and his guitars. He showed us his Paul Reed Smith(s), both of them, one costing 17k and the casing itself cost 1k and his Taylor, the one that Joel Houston is using now. It was an intense match with MU having no chance against Almunia and all of us groaning at every chance MU had. Finally, Arsenal scored a second goal by Nasri again and even with a spectacular goal by Rafael Da Silva, MU still lost. Disappointment all faded off during the sleep. College's back tomorrow again...

On the bright side, Calvary Youth Camp is open for registration! The long awaited youth camp, 3 years to be exact, is finally back. Themed,"This is Now", the camp will be held from 15th to 18th December at Le Paris Hotel and Resort in PD. You can get registration forms from me and register through me as well. Have an awesome week, readers and God Bless!

Weekend...

The weekend has been rather calming and in some ways pleasant. Exams are still raging on and a well needed break came just in time. Saturday night was one with family and friends. For starters, my aunt did her usual visit back from Singapore and did dinner this time instead of the usual outing. Dinner was on with New Zealand lamb chop, mashed potato, some tomato side dish with broccoli and to finish it off, red wine. Getting used to red wine now that I can legally take alcohol. The lamb chop was superb, never tasted such great lamb when compared to the ones we have always have during camps. Here's something interesting that I've never came across before:

Mint Jelly, anyone?

Cheers!

And finally, the weekend also brings back BPL. Nothing like the anticipation of football to remove exam stress. Even though the big four are playing relatively small games, it turned out to be a shocking weekend for ye English clubs. Chelsea came and went with 5 goals against Sunderland, Arsenal downed by Stoke City, another disappointing defeat to another newly promoted club, same score some more. Then there was the MU game. Well, I have say it was very humiliating to see world class players miss in front of the goal. Leading 4 goals to 1 with brilliant performance and then just letting 2 goals in just like that. To top it off, the anticipated game of the week was Liverpool playing against Tottenham under new boss, Harry Redknapp. Another jaw-dropping result with Liverpool losing 2-1 with Jamie Carragher scoring the winning goal! An own goal that it. Oh well, things like these always happen. 1 more paper to go. Can't wait for Calvary Youth Camp coming up on December 15th in Port Dickson, exactly after DUMC Youth Camp. Registration starts on Sunday, 9th November! God Bless!
