Humbling and tiring experience

Today was an AWESOME day.. I thought of bringing the baby (DSLR) out for Carnival but then i thought the better of it since i was on duty 9-11am and then at 3pm till 5… wouldn’t want to leave it near water retention area (dunking machine) and carry it around as i clean bowls of half eaten curry noodle as well as assam laksa..

Means i have no pictures even though i actually brought my old compact digital camera.. it was left in the bag as i did what i needed to do.. BUT i do have pictures of what happened before and after carnival… LOL…

Let’s back track to last wednesday, some of the youths went back to church to put on a fresh coat of paint on the dunking machine.. Some drew and coloured coconut trees as well as a boulder…

A month ago, i realised that Alithea was David(Ji Chen)’s friend the moment i saw her… LOL.. but i think it’s cuz i saw her picture before that la.. haha..

Then on friday, some of us headed headed to the club to set up our stall, Liz voluntarily scrubbed the tank clean with the help of LUX soap.. hehe.. When i got back from getting materials, the tank SERIOUSLY smelt of LUX soap.. LOL…

I think she might come after me for putting this up… haha.. she was reluctant to look at the camera too cuz DarrenH and Tab took a photo and video respectively… HAHA..

Well, set up and all ended about 1 something.. and then 9am came…

My morning duty was really a humbling experience because i was one of those who cleaned the table at the makan hall.. So far, i haven’t done it for events before and well, i think i collected 15 small black pastic bags of rubbish and more than 20 bowls of curry noodle/assam laksa… It was tiring and at times not very nice cuz i had to keep going to the big huge rubbish bin to dispose the soup.. and i think Sarah Liew’s ‘job’ wasn’t that nice either cuz have to wipe all the oily stuff of the tables.. but we were willing… This experience has taught me not to dirty my table so much.. LOL.. and clean it myself if i have to… haha… but yea… it was a long 2 hours but i think the smiles and ‘thank yous’ we received was what helped us on.. the little kids from the shelter homes gave us huge smiles and thanked us for helping them throw their food packages…

It’s not the nicest of responsibilities but one that has taught me… it’s not a job that will bring a smile out of you as you are doing it… most of the time you can see cleaners having this black and rushing kinda manner… but i found myself smiling at the people at the table as i cleaned their food plates… though it’s sometimes not returned with a smile.. but oh well, be a BLESSING right?

Next was the dunking machine… Nothing much to elaborate.. oh yes, TAB got dunk-ed for 1 booklet(RM20)..haha.. by the end of the day, she got dunked 3 times, the 2nd time being accidental.. both dunks were by her friend… hehe.. good one TAB…

By 4pm, the dunking machine FINALLY broke down.. it was beyond repair then so we decided to close shop… Earned close to 2k or actually more than 2k… This self produced dunking machine has reached its limit.. hehe.. it’s up to the team to come up with a newer Dunking Machine 2.0 in the future.. lol…

With aching legs from standing the whole day, sis and i went to spend our remaining coupons buying books from Book Xcess

 Following the footsteps of Aimee, we got these for RM38.. haha…

While on Monday, we spent RM77 on these…

See the difference.. LOL..

Well, i headed home after getting all my stuff together at about 5.45pm… was really tired out.. couldn’t stand for long… legs hurt like crazy… am singing in Cheras some more tmr for YE…

The next few pics are just random ones which i took just now, during and after dinner.. haha.. just wanted to do it… So those three photos will end this post…

Nice dinner..

 

 see if you get the joke.. haha..

I need You to break through..

…Outgrow…Outgrowth…Outgrowing…

Outgrow… We outgrow habits.. We outgrow clothes/shoes/ fashion/whatever stuff that we can outgrow of… we can outgrow friendships as well, we outgrow relationships with different ones…

I was watching an episode of a Korean drama a few days ago and one of the character was having dementia, always forgetting stuff and people, we’ll call him as Mr Kim. When Mr.Kim is lucid, he treats a high-school girl, Hannah like his family member, like treating his grandaughter.. BUT when dementia kicks in, Mr Kim thinks that Hannah is his real grandaughter, Julie.. meaning, he totally doesn’t remember who Hannah is. This hurts Hannah because she cares so much about Mr.Kim yet he doesn’t remember a thing about her or who she REALLY is..

Don’t you think that that’s a bit sad? To have someone forget you.. Yes, tho it’s not on purpose… still…

I guess, it doesn’t really affect or hurt when both sides are no longer placing importance on what was previously shared… I think if our shirts had feelings, they would be pretty upset that they now end up at the back of the closet or are sent away… haha…

So MANY different questions are running around my mind that i’m not even sure if i should post it up… But this is my outlet.. MY PLACE to make sense of all the non sense…

When did i first come across this word, OUTGROW? It was when Crystal taught the CAs girls about relationships.

Will you outgrow friendships? Yes, over time, you will…

That’s pretty much a fact in itself…. i guess that’s probably why i’m not close to my primary/certain high-school friends anymore..

There has been quite a few conversations lately about different stuff, yet it still comes back to whether or not i’m able to MOVE on..

I want to… I VERY much want to… and i think one way is to LET GO… and in another way i can’t because part of me feels that it’s NOT the time to let go… and the other part of me saying that if i DO not let go soon, i won’t be able to move on…

I found out yesterday that things may not be what it seems and things may not be how i understand it to be…

All of a sudden today i felt very tired of being strong… i felt that there’s just SO much going on inside of me that i can’t be a good enough example… i felt betrayed..

 i felt that all ‘work’ was left behind for those who stayed back…

and THEN i thought about all the smiles i’ve seen so far even though all that has happen… all the concerns that came forth because WE want those under us to grow.. all the love and care that we shared with each other… those who have stayed strong and encouraged me on…

and i caught myself again… why am i DOING all the things that i’m doing now?

It’s basically because i find the JOY of serving Him… like what i realised on Sunday serving with choir…

So, i will persevere on.. and all I can do is COUNT on God like what we sang last week…

I want to see the younger ones continue to grow and i want to see them become ’stronger’ and not waver easily… despite whatever happens and to be able to see for themselves what is REAL… no one is a lost cause… despite all that i’m feeling, there’s just SO much to be done and yet there are not enough hands to carry and do… i need to fill that need to carry on the fire… and i KNOW that it’s not just me… there’s a group of people who are doing the same…

I know and believe we can do it… May all of us draw strength from God… because it is ONLY Him that will be able to bring us up again…

Vines that come from the main source…

 

DEADLINES are DONE.. for now that is…

Quite a few has expressed about their disatisfaction towards the size of my FONT.. lol.. so here you go.. a lil bigger than normal…  and well, i’m back from my busy busy assignments, tests and presentations… it’s been pretty hectic but there were lil signs that things are going ok and well… heehee.. gotten good comments about my marketing presentation and my whole group consist of LINGUISTS.. what are the odds of that happening.. haha… but i’ve still got to score for my final essay paper…

Now to share something that brings a smile to my face… i REALLY couldn’t stop smiling at that little girl.. haha… Not that it’s a good thing to teach her that la…

 

…of lights and friends…

This is another quickie.. Until next Fri, i will not give myself the luxury to blog yet… hehe… Need to control the urge to ‘celebrate’ the freedom of finishing assignments.. Gonna leave you with a photo… this photo was taken by Ben Ong during Pesta Kuih Bulan… with a SLR camera…

I like it..

Quaint Lil Place in Bukit Damansara

8th October 2009

I’ve been flooded with assignments, test and presentations.. i won’t be over with them until two weeks later…sigh…

Anyways, life has been hectic and the weather is not helping… assignments are half way done.. I pray and hope that i’ll be able to get through with them soon.. i hope so…

I’ve got no inspiration to write today.. i shall share pictures of a place that i found that is pretty nice and i managed to study and chill a little there yesterday…

This was what i had for dinner… This shop is found in a small secluded housing area in Bukit Damansara… Was introduced to it by my ex employer.. the danish and pastries are AWESOME… REALLY AWESOME.. ask those who’ve had a taste.. It’s definitely worth it.. But my cup of tea not really worth it.. RM5.80 for ONE cup… while in Decanter, it’s RM5 for a pot… if i remember correctly…

Well, the atmosphere there is just nice… Quiet and serene… Not like the normal coffee shops.. I even noticed that one man was even doing his devotions there and journalling his thoughts… Nope, i didn’t peek.. I just saw his open Bible..

I wouldn’t mind heading back there for a sit anytime soon.. but have to see whether my purse allows me to.. haha.. yea ;p

Up close and personal of a Danish… Banana Butter Scotch… Yum yum…

Looks tempting right?

Well, just a thought that popped in…

Why do people get defensive? I think i’m refering to myself here… I’ve had a few conversations with someone the past few weeks and everytime he second guesses me or assumes something that is pretty petty, i get defensive and just would not accept what he says…

Is it because of past experiences? Is it due to lack of trust? I dunno and i think i shud find out…

Why do people defend themselves so much so that they push people away? I would like to think that i’ve yet gone to that extend…

Would hurt be the cause of defensiveness? In order to protect themselves from future hurt, they close up and be defensive against anything that is trying to ‘break in’

 

“Be a defensive driver”, i get that when mom’s in the car and I’m driving… but that rarely happens because she drives herself most of the time…  I’m not the best driver on the road and with my history of driving you might say that you are a better driver than me anyway.. heh.. but i sometime DON’T get the other drivers on the road… it gets on my nerves sometimes… and i used to get stuck in a pretty congested road because the cars were going pretty slowly up the hill.. what?? that certainly wasn’t a reasonable cause of a jam…. Don’t simply cut in just because you need to get to a place faster… wait in LINE…

I should get back to my never ending assignments… then i’ll be able to blog properly again.. from the looks of this post, it’s a bit confusing…. jumping here and there like nobody’s business… heh…

Aite, Ciao…

Have an AWESOME week…

I want to improve and i think i can…

Something i stumbled upon in facebook…

Eduardo Calasanz was a student at the Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines, where he had Father Ferriols as professor. Father Ferriols, at that time, was the Philosophy department head. Currently he still teaches Philosophy for graduating college students in Ateneo.

Father Ferriols has been very popular for his mind opening and enriching classes but was also notorious for the grades he gives. Still people took his classes for the learning and deep insight they take home with them every day (if only they could do something about the grades…)

Anyway, come grade giving time, (Ateneo has letter grading systems, the highest being an A, lowest at D, with F for flunk), Fr Ferriols had this long discussion with the registrar people because he wanted to give Calasanz an A+. Either that or he doesn’t teach at all…Calasanz got his A+. Read the paper below to find out why.
