mUSic

I was just relax to spend my Quiet Time after bathing. I sat there, talking to God, remembering His concern to my family and my prayers to Him.

1) I want to know You more (since young I knew Him, but I'm sure there are more of His interesting traits for me to know Him deeper)
2) I want to commit my life to You again(few days ago I recommit myself to God in prayers)

Hoping that He is pleased with me now with what I am, I told God that I'm not perfect. I thought that if God speaks to me today, about anything, I'd be thrill! So I kept quiet but after some time nothing happened. I guessed my five senses won't work and I need to have more faith in Him. I even got carried away to dig my ears with a cotton bud. Somehow I need to be more focus and discipline.

Later, I returned to my praying mode. I opened my eyes. Disbelief, the word "music" on my stinky yellow bolster caught my eyes! There were many other words such as house, lovely company, let's play balloons (huh? hahaha), honey, cute cute (yer...), pineapple juice and etc. "Music" was catchy. It has two letters that captured my attention- "US" , reminding me about God and me. He will walk me through my whole music career / ministry / life. Another assurance from God that I chose the right path. I battled with myself few days ago, doubted about the whole music choice. Now that He has assured me enough, no more doubts Daphne! Just continue to obey Him and He will make straight my path. I want to keep myself close to Him.

Think mUSic, think US ! :)

New hobby

I have this new hobby I just discovered like, 5 minutes ago *flashes teeth*

Angel was the first to hear about it.

It's another hobby for me besides playing the piano, called - Playing The Hymnals On The Piano hobby! Tadaa! =D Yes yes, it's still related to piano, friends.

It was pwetty amazing to modify the hymnals to something called soothing and contemporary hymnals. Also, I still remain the Baroque style but added some flavours of mine.

Can't wait to get the Apple Macbook (yala yala... she's so action =p) from school to have a good recording quality and then I'll just upload it on Blog/Youtube.

Whee~ I'm feeling happy! And I bought a good pair of shoes-meant-for-walking to school hee!

Quote of the week

Hold on to God, you gain everything; hold on to everything EXCEPT God, you lose everything.
by Pastor Vincent Lau

Month of December

Hello. These are the days that I don't have anything to blog about. But I would still like to update some things over here. Ain't want any cobwebs to appear in this blog, and of coarse the moving pairs of eyes that received information she-never-update-again-lah! , sending it to the cerebrum. I must have been missing my Biology quite awhile :)


Never heard any news from my dearest sister travelling across Germany and their neighbouring countries right now. Praying that the airport are not shutting down because of the heavy storm. Also, I had to dig up my dusty music sight-reading and scale books hidden in a box beside my piano for placement test in 3rd of January. Started to study some theory basics too which I had some time to retrace my memory from yesteryear's of learning music theory.


Christmas is also just around the corner. I had my last caroling with my bunch of wacky church clan. Sunday one was the most tiring. From 1.30pm right up to 12am. Pheew, good thing our throat survived. One thing that pinched at the corner of my heart was that this autism boy who sat in the midst of other children caught my attention. He smiled from ear to ear when he got a present from the church caroling team as if he just struck a jackpot! I wondered how many times do these kids get presents in their entire lifetime and counted myself as one blessed kid. See him in the white shirt looking at the camera? Christmas is a time to love.



Then below are some caroling photos from Angel's camera. Presenting... Angel and me! Above :
Fatigue syndrome children nyek nyek =D
I was one of the yellow tamborini girls.
Carollers went to Assunta Hospital

And to some church member's house
Managed to squeeze in some picture time while singing tsk tsk tsk =p

I love my church fryens!


Note : All the guys are busy filling their stomach gahaha!

more videos

Check this out too, cool PVC as instrument :D He even played Pirates and Gaga's song and others, super farnie la...
And nigahiga for the second youtube.
Credits to Esther my sister for telling me.
Guess I'm too free to scroll youtube whee! :D



Inspired

Jon Schmidt is awesome! Now I recalled who is he from the second song Pachelbel Meets U2 Alex Foo sent to me. He's super skillful man. I'm also very inspired from Jon Schmidt's friend to pick up cello after seeing how beautiful he played nyek nyek! Lots of love to these songs!
(Thought I've heard of these songs many times, just found out that they are from the same guy, talk about me being blur yes, now I would just like to share them with you :D )

Also, he did the first song for his seven-year-old daughter because she loved the song she heard in the car with her daddy...so sweet!

Enjoy these three soothing songs! The last song is more of a I-Want-To-Play-Like-Him type hehe.

Post-spm days and choices to make

Post-spm days are supposed to be relaxing... that was what I thought. I was wrong. My days became more hectic than usual. Having a due date by 24th Dec for my application to ICOM is indeed another stressful thing. I had to say no to my friend's birthday party. I had to practice 3 different genre of songs (i.e. jazz, classical, contemporary) everything by Wednesday!! *faints*

Angel Ooh, my good friend is going to help me out with the recordings. She has been a great help to me ever since I started off with the Bangkit project, she was the one who encouraged me to NEVER give up and never made me feel suckie too :) If you're reading this, thank you and I really appreciate all that you have done for me whee~ *winks* Looks like our hang out became more often- movies, band practices and meetings nyek nyek!

Getting myself in to ICOM and to study music was an important calling from God. I had to do an audition of 3 different genre of songs and haven't been touching classical and jazz for some time, but God has been great for picking the 3 best songs for me. He will see me through my season. People might have been telling me that a career in music won't help much in future, but only God knows what the future will lie ahead and that I could do some help for His kingdom. My parents finally agreed to let me pursue my music in the Berklee Transfer Programne (BTP), God must be the one who had spoken to them especially mom who hopes for the best in me to be a dentist. By doing His will, He will make the impossible to be possible. I've thought of 2/12 majors when I'll be in Berklee-

i) Contemporary writing and production
ii) Film scoring
These two will involve me in the music/film/movie industry, basically the entertainment field which I'm pretty excited about it.
Lets just hope that I won't change my mind about it. The other 10 majors sounds interesting too! Gaah, will choose one of them later :D

Despite all the rush and my class will begin in January 3 next year, I'm still blur but sure that this is the right course for me. I'm growing up, no more spoon fed by teachers in school. I have to make wise decisions and seek God more often. The mistakes that I made, I have learnt. In whatever my choices are, I will still praise the Lord for helping me to decide carefully. Did I mention, I'm also a detailed self cautious well organized neat-freak perfectionist? Gaah, it's a gift, and not-so-much of a gift sometimes!

I'm feeling under the sky right now :)

Dec 9


Yahoo! That three-letter word ain't in my dictionary anymore whee :) Actually I don't quite feel the excitement yet, my sensory receptors are somehow slow in processing information. Only maybe later I'll get the feel of excitement. No more schools and no more science and maths books.

I was waken up by Yuha's phone call (my good friend)- A news she told me that got my receptors quick to respond! "Daphne, your NS site will be in Semenyih," and there goes my holiday. What entered to my cerebrum was that I'm-going-to-NS! information pfft. Ah, but the others news was I got into the first batch and there's loads of holidays for us. Then again, I can't get to do what I've planned to do. This is soooo irritating like a flea nesting on the skin! Oh well
, I shall put it aside because today's my precious sister's birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAE ESTHER!!

I don't have the new photos in this comp nyahaha :D
This wonderful sister I have here is one of my biggest inspiration
Cut the part where she bullied me (teehee) when I was an innocent little girl (still am an innocent one)
She was the one who encouraged me to play the piano for church
When I suck in it, she never made me feel sucks about it :D
And of coarse the good times when she does a prayer session with her siblings
and tells stories as if she is a story book
Can't celebrate with you again this year.
Will skype with you later and...
I miss you! <3

Blue to Pink

My blue days are coming to end soon... on Wednesday! And the pweetie pink days will come when I get to get out from school! Okay okay, the truth is I don't have any ideas to write something new now. Sorry peeps. But what I'm really excited is I'll be going to this MADWORLD- A contemporary stage show featuring dance choreography, drama and music, a joint production between DUMC and SIBKL. I shall bring my drama clan (including my drama teacher) to watch this stage play!! I'm friggin in love with stage plays, musical, drama and yesh yesh musical and drama! It's gonna be a fun and fruitful night.

Chip's Challenge!


Tossing and turning in my bed, my mind wandered far away to the good ol' times I always had in Mentakab. I grew up and spent my 10 years of life in that Pahang small town, but loaded with memories- pleasant and the not-so-pleasant ones. Slowly, my mind painted a picture of a game I once used to play. Only the old fashion people like me will know what this game was all about.

I found it hard to remember the name! Fire, boy in blue suit, swimming, keys and chips? What's that friggin' name of THAT GAME?! CHIP'S CHALLENGE!! So I downloaded the 2D game- the oldest version of game I ever played hahaha I'm laughing at myself. Only a few of my good WEE cousins- Darren, Darynn, Simon, Angeline, Adeline and Stanley and of coarse my dearest sista will know how this game had made us gone crazy solving the levels! By the way, I still remember ALL the techniques to win.

PS : I'm still trying to find the 2D Lucas Art Indiana Jones where he whips the spiders and snakes, and get bananas and tequila from Lola (the girl we always bully) lols.

What risk?

First, running a temperature during exam was so so not what I had in mind. Watery mucus dripping all over, irritation in the throat and cracked voice box?? Gaah, I thought it was bad. Why not getting fever for trials instead of the real REAL spm... But, it was a good thing though. I couldn't study hard for Sejarah paper on Wednesday night, I couldn't afford to rely on the more-than-ten-messages Sejarah tips my good friends had sent to me, one of it "SOALAN BOCOR DARI JOHOR". So I chucked my hand phone aside, prayed hard and risked myself for nightmare the next day.

I thought I took a big risk to trust God and not the tips. Actually, the real risk was trusting on the tips and not God.

When I sat for the paper, none of them matched the tips and I leap for joy because I trusted Him :) all the last minute memorising what I thought was important came out for SPM whee! God is great, all the time! Maybe if I weren't sick, I would have trusted the tips and not God, and that will be the biggest risk.

Table up-side-down

I had to blog today! Sorry peeps, looks like the last letter ain't the last one this time teehee.
Craving for the best juiciest Ramlee burger, I decided to drive to Sek 4 Pasar Malam on this Tuesday night. Nope, mom drove technically, I only wanted the burger and I made her drove hehe. Ramlee burger coated with damp bread caused by water vapour, inside patty (yes, 90% chemicals and and only 10% meat) wrapped with telur and BBQ konon sauce was what I really had in mind!

Spotted one pak cik in the middle of the hectic night market life. With one vision in my heart- to aim for that burger- I targeted him. Grumpy was his name. Anyway, who cares as long as I got what I wanted. Along the way, I bought the all-time favourite ayam goreng (KFC pirated recipe), kebab ayam, bananas, some roti I cannot remember the name and some kuih white in colour which I also cannot remember the name nyahaha :)

Disappointment sipped into me slowly. As I unwrapped my precious burger and bit my first bite, I began to comfort myself. "It's okay... okay... It's ggo..goood..." Not at all! Tasteless eggs and patty with diluted sauce plus not a single BBQ sauce was so so so not ideal! My kebab was cold and flat -.- Worst, my ayam goreng tasted funny after I made it hot in Aspen. It was a mixture of croissant scent this morning I made. My bad. Gaah, that freaked me out! What had happened to all my favourite food in pasar malam?? No more unhealthy dinner for the rest of my... teenage years (not life!) *winks*

A Letter to you

Dear blog and blog readers,

It's been quite a while since we met. I've always wanted to blog but time seems to be chasing after me. Preparations for this SPM was a dreadful one indeed. So I'm taking a day off to blog, fb a little and watched TV- The Express. Good movie! Ernie Davis was one tough, strong-willed man for his people and football. There's so many exciting stuffs to do after SPM. More dreadful days? 23rd Nov till 8th Dec 2010. GAahh.

Here's what I've planned. Who knows I might just refer to this list here because I don't have one yet nyeheh :)

  • Join Just For Laughs Gags audition (maybe drag Yuhahahhaa my good friend along)
  • Plan up the dates and trip together with Sarah to visit my dear sister whee~
  • Prepare myself to enrol as an ICOM student. Oo, latest news... I'm going to take the Berklee Transfer Programme. Boston babey here I come! God has been really awesome and always is. He has led me and got my parents' approval to go for music :) Maybe I'll blog about this coming soon...
  • Christmas season is just around the corner too! If I have the time, I'll go to the malls and slide on their pianos. Extra pocket money might come in handy hee!
  • OO! Go get my driving license! I'm so gonna pray hard that my driving instructor is a SHFEmale, not the babbling type...
  • Bring my little brother (hmm, not so little anymore) for a round of badminton, swimming, and an ice cream day. He'll be studying in 4 Semangat next year and we're proud of him in getting in to the first class. Next prayer item will be him becoming a Pengawas heh.
  • Meet up with some old, once upon a time friends. I hope their numbers are not rotten in my phone list.

I guess that's all I can think of right now. Be right back after the 8th Dec 2010. So long... :D

Sincerely and signing off,

Daphne

By the Cliff

I had a short glimpse of where my life was at stake :

Clinging tightly onto a thick long rope at the sharp edge of a cliff, I stared fearfully at the ground below my feet at what seem like a never-ending journey. Mist surrounded me. I was almost there! To think that I could make my final move to safety, I trembled like a leaf. I couldn't put my body to the higher ground. But then, a familiar looking person reached His hand out to me. Quickly I grabbed His hand and a mighty force lifted my weight from the precarious cliff. Pheew.

There is no one like our God.

I was struggling with my spiritual life. Sometimes it does affect my normal routine life- fear, worries and anxieties. But nothing like a comforting rescue from God. I am now sound and safe (Eeyore, the blue donkey's line in Winnie The Pooh). After reaching on the higher ground with God's mighty rescue, I couldn't think back of myself hanging on to the fat rope. Was it all real? Sure it was. I felt an indescribable peace, rest assured. Maybe it was my SPM trials, or maybe I need my outsource spiritual food, maybe it was both. Hmm, what now after my landing? God You tell me what's next.

Esther Mustard

Esther Mustard! Gotta' start all over again with the skyping moment, scrubbing the toilet alone, no one sleeping beside me, no one practising singing at home, no one to fight for food and clothes, no one to scream "FAAASSSTERRR larh!" at or to look at and call "Oi skinny!", laugh at her super embarrassing moments (oooooh yes!! *eyebrows ups and downs*), praying together siblings time and the one who speaks up and stands up for me in any situation.

But this will come to an end soon.............. like next year @.@ pfft.

First album released



Poster done by the creative team

Back cover of the album

The launch of Bangkit album is today! First of all, I reused Esther's Bangkit photos (sorry sis hehe) =) I'm really excited about it. All the hustle and bustle of coming out with my song, without God's grace and help and angels he sent, I couldn't have done it without their kind help. There's so much of stories to tell you! Along the process of making an album, I learnt alot to be more responsible, detailed and careful. One big silly mistake I made was I didn't update the person-in-charge about my new lyrics! Gaaah, for that I'm really angry about myself... My fault for that.
I will be more careful and alert now. I hope that it will be a good small stepping stone for me in the music industry. I've got waaaay lot more to learn and improve.


Also so gonna miss Esther Mustard! She's going back to the UK tomorrow morning.
What a mixture of emotions I'm going through right now.

My yellow car

My life is like a passenger sitting in a yellow car- Driving it all alone, just me and my car on a road, a journey full of obstacles. God is like my faithful yellow car, who stands by me wherever I need anything.

When I :
  • Am feeling warm and restless throughout my journey, my yellow car turns on the air cooler for me, giving me peace and comfort, rest assured that everything is going to be okay by shimmering me down.
  • Meet with the traffic light, my yellow car will tell me what decision to make- to stop or to go. Also, while waiting for the lights to turn green, it teaches me PATIENCE as well.
  • Meet with the nasty bumps on road, many times when I cross those bumps with my yellow car, I would be most likely be hit or knocked somewhere. But I am not alone, my yellow car is always here to bear my pain with me. We go through the bumps together-gether.
  • See rain pouring down, my yellow car is always here to shade and protect me from the vicious rain (and also the scotching hot sun). Also, it has its wipers to wipe away the tearing raindrops from my sight.
  • Am bored, my yellow car has this funky radio that entertains and brings joy to my loneliness. Good radio with a 24/7 service, convenient.
  • (if I) Meet with a horrible accident, my yellow car has its emergency airbag system to save my life.
  • Am crossing inside a dark tunnel, my yellow car has its powerful lights inside out to shine my path, warning me what is ahead.
My yellow car has been very faithful to me. Now I have to remain loyal to Him, no matter what!

A Good Trip

Loving Singapore now... The land where I got lost at the age of 5, in some hawker center... So many stories and good memories together with my maternal families. Might be thinking of studying in Singapore after some inspiration :) CleanER city than Malaysia hehe and good environment. Food? Can't beat Malaysia lah! hah! My Singapore cousin Claire right beside me said ''CAAAANNNNN" ha... :) Never open a single book, stress free from everything back in KL and I love it! Just did a little Add Maths questions. Will upload some good photos real soon. Bought a good Canon IXUS S95 camera, a GPS and a cam recorder. Will have a better update soon. Soreee :D

Gah, can't wait for my soon-to-be long looooong vacation after SPM!
;)

Oh Oats!

Time : 10.00pm
Day : Monday night
Location : Dinning table
Activity : Mugging Biology

Felt hungry, asked mom how to make oats. Took out Quaker Oats, some berries and raisins, Tesco's 3 in 1 Oat Oats pre-mixed cereal drink, condensed milk and cereals. Poured in hot water and then ready to savour!

*munch munch yum yum*

At the end of the whole oat savouring process, I felt my mouth was sticky and yucky #.#
No sooner, I wondered why did I eat oats in the very beginning. Not that I love eating oats. I've never eaten oats before and it tasted like baby's food. Then I realised I was in Biology Chapter 6 Nutrition page full of the words GRAINS, WHOLE GRAINS, NUTS, Oats, WHEATGERM etc.

No wonder lah I'm hungry for oatssss... =D

Oh the good times with my family

  • I ajak my jamming kaki. Technically, he was the one taking out his guitar and asked me to play the piano. Whoosh, the tuning part needed patience the most! It was either his guitar was out of tune or my babey- pianoooo! So we jammed and time flies so quickly that I haven't got to finish up my homework. Feeling scared about tomorrow, I decided to get panic only tomorrow lah. Nyek nyek. But it was another good jamming session with my daddy. Our playing were extremely 'kopiak' telling you @.@ There were times- too loud, too rough, too complicated, and he will go "Oh, B flat key... don't want! ". Yes, the good times just me and my dad :)

  • Oh yeah, Derrick and I managed to achieve something that we were really proud of- tricking Esther into our brilliant plan nyahahha! The story went like this :

GOING OUT FOR MAKAN:
We were all in the car. Mom and Dad don't close the gate usually. She spoke in didactic tone asking either one of us to slide close the gate (classic bully by the eldest huh). So we decided to do LAT TA LI LAT TA LI TAM PLOM. She lost! Yues, and off she closed the gate. Immediately, I had the most awesome idea!

Daphne : Derrick! Let's pakat to trick her to close the gate next time or do ANYTHING! Doing the dishes, off the fan, off the lights, everything! *grins*

Derrick : OK! *grins*

(Always coming out with our palms facing upwards was the plan)

COMING BACK HOME:
Here we go again. Someone had to go slide open the gate. Derrick and I had a wry wit each, smiling at each other and then laughed our heads off! Yet, she still doesn't know a thing! That poor girl tsk tsk tsk. First trial of the betting, all three of us had our palms facing upwards. I stared with my eyes wide open at Derrick. He acted blur. Game carried on. Second round, Derrick and I still had our palms upwards and yuessss again Esther lost! The whole family erupted with gales of laughter. Mom and dad already knew that their two sly kiddo children were up to something fishy! Unfortunately, our plan was 'dimansuhkan oleh' daddy the spoil-plan guy. Ended up, we all laughed our heads off like a drunkard family.

Good times, good times... :D

Quickie Sprinkles of Updates

First of all...

INTERNET CONNECTION IS FRIGGIN' SLOW!! Gaaaah!

Okay, here's the really quick updates :) Bangkit album is gonna be released on the 16th September 2010, on... MALAYSIA DAY! It's a small gift to Malaysia. For those who supported me and my sista, once again thank you loads peeps :)

Next, Drama season 2010 is finalleee over babey! This year's was pweety awesome-
  • we got to travel and hop in from buses to buses from school to PTPL university to MSU campus.
  • we got to be STUFFED like stinky potatoes (bleack) in one small lecture hall together with 6 drama teams (15 ++ per team), a few debate teams and 20 choral speaking teams ( a classroom size per team! ) !! Excluding teachers?? *gulps*
  • we got to be entertained by 3 spontaneous talented friends from Subang Jaya school while waiting for the closing ceremony. Those friends were awesome yet humble. A cool guitarist, a sweet singer and a funky dancer. Thumbs up! Love the cheer from the crowd.
  • we got labelled as "selfish" by a random all-tensed-up teacher for sharing the toilet with three friends. Man, I could tell that she reeeeeeally had to go and pee!
  • Also, we got to be the Johan :)

After 5 years involving hectically hectic and hysterically hysteria with Drama, with all the bittersweet and embarassing moments I had gone through with all my beloved friends, I'm sooooo gonna miss this when I'm out of school! Credits to our faithful Pn.Suneeta and the drama team, and to God in our prayers.

Photos in FB. Cheers ;)

A very special gift

When I open my Facebook, most of the posts I could see on my home page written by all the Seventeens are none other but the unfriendly abbreviation- SPM! GAaaah when is this thingy gonna end?? How lah to manage my time to cover all the chapters before trials next month??! Friggin' panic.

I was extremely restless yesterday night, more like throughout the night. I kept taking out my calendar and counting the dates over and over again, double checked my time table- Would I be able to make it in time to study everything? Talk about stressss -.- After the long dilemma, I shoved my books aside, took out my worn-out faithful Our Daily Journey.

It was about a man named Job- famous in the Bible, the one who lost everything : his wife, children, livestock, land etc. yet still stands firm on his faith in God eventhough it could be very frustrating at times. Such courage is ought to be admire by many. Then I came to a paragraph saying :

It's hard to wait when you're restless; and understandably, Job confessed, " My heart is troubled and restless". If that sounds familiar (like absolutely right now now happening) , remember Jesus' promise, "I am leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart" (John 14:27)

A peace of mind and heart is what I really need right now! All I need to do is to have more faith in God that He will help me in my preparation, during and after SPM 2010. I should live by faith and not by sight in God. Shouldn't I start to count my trust in God rather than counting that silly calendar? :)

EXTRA
My favourite verse of the whole year :

I am leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.
John 14.27

Snippets of updates

Wheee~ I have a random post. Recently, me and my family went to eat fish. Nyeheh... That restaurant serves the best steamed fish I've eaten so far- no fishy smell! Only 45 minutes and we were visited by so many interesting people.

First, the VCD cetak rompak guy came- a norm scene. Flipped through the whole list, bought Karate Kid. Crystal clear man! Ten minutes later, a keropok uncle came and we bought his prawn crackers. Crunchy. Our food arrived. What's next? A youngster came to offer daddy his durian! Man I tell you, this guy was extremely persistant! In order to keep him away while we were eating, dad kindly told him that he WILL buy his durians after dinner. That guy stood outside the door, watching over us like a guardian angel... *sprinkles*- all the way until we finished our dinner. Daddy bought ALL his durians for RM350 *pengsan*

You will never gonna believe who was next. While we were still busy gobbling down our food, a Chinese man mysteriously magically appeared right beside daddy, holding two miserable car wipers "You want buy this one ah??? " Looking at the wipers, daddy decided to buy because it was cheap -.- I think we practically almost bought everyone's stuffs without thinking through our big brains. Now that's dangerous. Anyway, we didn't entertain our last guest selling rocket magazines.

Just another random day. Not much to update yet. Did some shopping and homework, have been stuffing durians down my stomach like, everyday -.- ; playing around with my toys- old and new clothes. Spending lotsa time with Esther Weeee the Elephant and the other elephant which is my bruther. Resemblance? Both have cutee biggie elephant ears LOL. Oh, I changed my French Connection United Kingdom spectacles too to a lighter colour, more youth friendly. No more being toooot by people with FCUK hehe. I don't use that word.

A funny day

All so ready to meet them! All so excited throughout the journey! 16th July 2010 Friday babey they are COMING HOME! ... and off we drove to the airport.

1.30pm is their touchdown. So we waited for a short 20 mins, just in case they needed more time to collect their luggage. The 20mins grew longer, now past an hour! So I decided to give them a call. No answer. Waited for another 15mins. Called again. Line connected, phone beeping!

(now comes the major HORROR part!)
Jeng...jeng...jeng...jeng!

Esther : *sleepy voice* Yeeeeeeeeeeah what you want?!
Daphne : Where are you people?!!!!

Turned out, mom apparently calculated the wrong date! *toooot* It is tomorrow 17th July 2010 1.30pm touch down! I really don't know how she calculated her dates. Oh well, rushed to tuition all the way from the airport like mad cow driving a car. Will pick them up again tomorrow.

Funny funny day! @.@

Stuffs update

So many things to blog about, just don't know where to start!

Recently, the 'sidest-most' of my right last baby toe got a deep cut, just between the flesh-and-nail part. It bleed quite badly but I couldn't be bothered to clean it up. Also, I wore thick stripy socks to school- yea yea I broke the rules wearing pink socks- with the uncleaned bleeding cut teehee. It just magically happened! I have no idea what was the friggin cause of it.

Then, I just realized that I kept washing my clothes non-stop, but never seem to keep all the clean clothes from the basket. So it just piled up there, folded. Maybe I'll keep em' tomorrow... or the next day... someday... aaaah, later lah! :)

I think I've spent alot on my groccery shopping. One day out, rm70 gone! But I really did cut down on eating outside. Sighs, I'm missing my mother's homecook food. Also, I'm missing these guys in my life right now! She graduated and I'm so proud and happy for her. They are so enjoying their time right now half across the world :)


Last week, I was kinda disappointed for not getting picked to be the 'pretty statue' for this week's ASEAN game. Pretty statue? Oh yea babey, the one standing on stage holding a tray during prize giving ceremony. It was worth it!
An international cert that comes together with >rm100 allowance plus a free public debut on TV!
And I prayed- how the heeell am I gonna juggle up with studies, upcoming drama competition on Wednesday, tuitions, taking care of Derrick, and a week's commitment on ASEAN game thingy? God took me out of ASEAN games thingy, wow and now I'm so thankful grateful come to think about it. God knows best and could see a clearly further picture than me. Coz' I heard lots of complaintsss about it from today's raptai.
Coming to an end, I finally could boldly say that I had moved on from my past (woa, everyone seem to have their own past! nyeheh :) ). I always thought that I could move on from something in my past, simply snap a finger and tadaa~ snapped out of it, everything by ONE day. The truth is, it takes time for ourselves to lick our wounds and get healed day by day, like a process- slow, blur but sure :) As time goes by with much prayers, God really sees me through the season. Like I said, He knows who and what is best for me. Now I'm all gear up to discover wonderful plans He had set for me! Everything happens for God's goodie reason. Soo much to talk about this, but not in here hehe.
Okok, now this is the real ending! I'm always so freak out with my studies- not enough time to finish the lengthy SPM syllabus. Buddies in church started asking me how is my prep going on. Whossh, feel the pressure. But God is good, all the time. Somehow He assures me that my prep is going on well now, so far so good. Still yet to cover up some topics.
That's all for now, cheers!

The two Noobs

They live together. Here's the story:

These are the two noobs, named Daphne (right) and Wennie (left).
Daphne was very hungry but Wennie wasn't around to drive her out. So, McDelivery became her solution. Then dinner came. Daphne was very full but Wennie was superbly hungry! So they made dinner together and called over Gary, Wennie's boyfriend too. They bragggggged about their home made Spaghetti to Gary. Turned out, Daphne forgotten to put in some tomatoes, spaghetti itself was slightly hard and the sauce was kinda thick... 6/10 was the rating. Noob case 1.

Then came night for some grocery shopping. The two was very mo (as usual) in choosing things to buy. Supposed to buy only the toilet rolls, Ice cream for grandma (random I know) and Dove conditional. Ended up buying extra items such as facial mask, new deodorant, and Dove shampoo "because it came with a goodie bag!" said Daphne -.-

Bought sooo much, we forgotten that it was a Saturday!
Saturday = No plastic bag day! Save the Mother earth, MALAYSIA!

So the two noobs carried some stuffs in their hands, the rest? Stuff em' in Wennie's small handbag (Handbag itself is already small, what else?). Walked to the car, forgotten where we parked our car! Good thing we remembered it was a white Myvi that we drove.

This is the story of the two Noobs. Thank you for tuning in ;)

What to do... (sarcasm)

"...and the next play to represent our zon is... "KITES" from SMK Seksyen 3 Bandar Kinrara!"
announced the judge for Drama Competition 2010. By the way, you don't have to buy a ticket to watch the plays :)

NoooOOoo!!!! I don't want to win this year! Funny.
This means I had to represent my team for the next level!
This means more time in school!
This means less time to study -.-
what the cwrap...

Walamak, how about the ASEAN games that I'm helping out for a week without studying in school?
Gah, so many things to decide and reconsider. Even when I said "No!", people wouldn't let me quit. Worse, I got lectured for prioritising my time bla blaa. I didn't do anything wrong you see. Too many things in school. People said I studied like mad and need to take some break. I took too many breaks in helping out for Bacathon, Teacher's Day Celebration, staying backss, church works, and other external factors etc. Yet, I'm not good enough for them. My marks are in between 70-90% and I know I can do better, I just need MORE time to study to push my marks to a stable 80% and above.

Perfectionist? I can't help it ='(

What to do...

Mother-father role (for awhile)

"Bye! Make sure you don't cry!"

Those were the last words before they left- 3 weeks babey! For the first day in the first few hours, I did sooo many washing! From cups to clothes and pots and pans and plates. Everything after school non-stop. Hang the clothes and tidy up the living room. Now I know how hard it is to play a mother's role.

Then came dinner. Supposedly to call up the restaurant for delivery, thrice and they ain't picking up the blardy phone! Changed of plan, decided to call Wennie my cousin- no respond. Walamak! Panicked, I took out some vegetable and eggs, then cooked the rice. It turned out, tasty! Stir fry Choi Sam with garlic and Chai Po Neng (Lobak Manis Telur) hehe! Derrick likes my cooking, so... I past! Nyek nyek!

Just for these 3 weeks of being a miss independant.
3 weeks I'm playing a mother-father role at home taking care of my bruther and the house. First day itself already a hoo-ha. At night, I had to check all the doors, paranoid I took all the keys to the room and sleep with it, hah! But, surprisingly I like taking up challenges now. It grooms me to be a tougher girl.

PS : I think I'm gonna looooove cooking... soon! :)

Gardening?

Due the excessive blurness...

Please click on this link for my new post of the day. I blogged into my cousin's account by accident! And, where and how on earth I created his blogging account without realising it?!
I couldn't afford to take another 20mins to re-blog, pfft.

So much for overcoming my blurness -.-

Even in tuition my friend gota point at my paper, telling me "where we are" now @.@

Gah...

Wee Zhen-Li's day!

First of all...



Yea, today is not my birthday. It's Derrick's birthday today :)

Well bruther, you're nine this year! I can't wait for you to grow up, and be a man! But I still love you when you're still little, teehee. When I watched Ultraman and Transformer, I think about you haha! Not that I watched that Au-ta-man... I still remember you with your pacifier and now a Ketua Kelas : Kecik-kecik cili padi la you.

The TGI Friday workers sang him a birthday song and made him say a speech. Anyhow, we still preferred Chilis- better quality of steak and ribs with bottomless fruit juices ;)



Uncle Daniel made him a special 3D card too :)

Embracing challenges

...with Joy.

An inspiration from Pb's corner *winks*

I just found out why people can get sooo stressed up with life! We should embrace challenges (any kind of 'cabaranss') not just for the sake of it, but the best way to face them, is to face them with Joy! That way, we will not get too stressed up while going through the it-seem-like-the-hardest part of our lives. Not only with Joy, but with the strength of God to help us persevere and endure the difficult times :)

My big challenges that are in my way :

  • study like durrr...
  • becoming a Miss Independent
  • (soon) carrying the mommiedaddie's job eg. preparing breakfast, check doors at night, arrange transportation for tuitions, washings etc. when they are away for 2 1/2 friggin' weeks in UK! I guess I'll blog about it reeeal soon :P
  • go out alone and ride a public transportation! Maybe at least with one friend I knew for a start hehe :)
  • get out of my bler era!

and...

  • learn the road directions well!!

I reeeally needa overcome my lousy sense of direction. When I thought it was a toilet or something, it was the store room. Super malufying man *grins* Plus, am I not going to drive next year? Pfft =)

Anyway, this is what life is. To live, laugh, learn and love. Make sure that everything we do, do it with full of Joy (a little Joy does help too) and pray pray pray! Never underestimate the power of prayers. It will help us to think and react positively and wisely.

:)

Stories

When I was in YLDP 2008 (Kuala Kubu Baru time), I had a chat with my pastor. We were talking about trusting God. Then he came up with a good story that I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

"You and your parents went for a holiday. It was time to pack up and go home. But you were left behind! They were already half the journey back to KL! Do you think they will come back to the resort and pick you up?"

"Yesh yesh! Of coarse they will no matter what."

"This is the same kind of trust that you must have on Jesus. He is a Father to you. No matter what happens, just like your dad whom you trust to come back and get you. For sure you know that you can trust God."

This is one story I remind myself in trusting God- no matter what the circumstances are.

**

There's a big thin spider came crawling into my house! As big as my palm. It crawled so fast right into my PIANO!!! GAH! I couldn't take it. Dad wanted to spray and let it die slowly ; mom wanted to immediately whack the spider flat.

and...
*WHAMS* the spider was flatten immediately after being sprayed.

Mom : You call this big?!!

I think that movie called "EIGHT LEGGED FREAK" is driving me nuts. Thanks to Esther who made me watch those Myvi-sized spider catching men and swallowed them down like nobody's business @.@

I just found my biggest fear : SPIDERS!

Like a parabola curve

Sometimes I feel like blogging.
Other times I don't feel like blogging.
At times I don't know what to blog.

Three weeks of exam is really a torture chamber for my brain. Study till approximately 12am, wakes up again at 5am, continue studying. Maybe that's why I'm so moody. I feel like curling myself up like a ball in the room and get a non stop 12-hour sleep! Or be a skunk (minus the stinky part)- sleep for a whole season. Nicee~

I'm always hungry too. Hypothesis : The more moody/stress, the more intake of food to the stomach.

It's just another half a year more till I'm so done with all the studying system in Malaysia.

I miss my sista. I miss church the way it used to be.

Gah! Looking forward for June!
-Church Family camp
-Taylor's College Life In One Day {CLIOD} (foundation in Science and SAM)
-Zafirah's wedding -my cousin
-Trip to Melaka, sunburn n cendol??
-Bro n daddy's birthdays
-Song recording for Bangkit~!
-I get to dance my fingers all day long on the piano woohoo!

...

and now back to study.

:(

Midnight trip

Around 12am, I couldn't take it anymore! It had been the whole day and night. Dad was asking me go see a doc. Yesh yesh! So, off we drove to a 24-hour clinic down town, midnight. The streets were cold and lifeless, just a few shops closing down with some help from men. I had a horrrrrrible flu.

He was driving a F1 racing car on the straight road. Out of nowhere, a "kancil" police car dashed out too brooooom... He sped, so did we. He parked in front of the clinic, so did we. Monkeys see, monkeys do? I assumed that the policeman got sick. What was I thinking man??

But when we got down the car, it was a thin sick old prisoner breathing his first air from the world. He was creepy. Everyone was trying their best not to stare at him in the clinic. The clinic was jam packed in the wee hours! I was too scared to stare at him, so I just stare at my tissue box. It was more friendlier.

That man was shivering like a vibrating massage chair. Poor guy, but creepy. He was a Chinese when I heard his name got called, but doesn't look like one anymore. If only he knew the gospel, he wouldn't ended up in prison or less likely to be deceived by the devil. Two biggie cops were guarding that prisoner, so I thought it was safe.

I went for a check up. The doctor was kinda coool. So cooooool enough to charge my bill for a friggin RM60! I even got a test using the H1N1 'thermometer'. But it wasn't the virus despite my Rudolph nose and sore throat. Thank God. Daddy had to sacrifice his sleep and will be having a court case the next day just a few more hours. Quite an interesting trip to the clinic =D

Indecisive

It's a holiday for me today! No school, no nerd-ing in school today... Weee~ So... I was in a dilemma first stage : To cook or not to cook. The bread on the table, didn't look much appealing to me. Then, Maggi or Nuggets? Oily-fatty-processed-food are not so my choice (in other words, lazy lah to fry) O.K.! Maggi then. But...
OR

???

Dilemma.

It took me five miserable minutes to choose. Apa lah ini... Then came the ingredients part. Tomatoes? Eggs? Prawns?

Final product :

Breakfast set : Maggi Curry and Ribena~

Healthy but not so healthy breakfast

It's a hoooliday!

=D

Unexpected and more to come

Seventeen is the hardest age to live in... (I think)... for most of the SPM candidates. Besides pulling our hair and get some stiff neck for SPM, we are always in this crossroad,


- What's after SPM????

I've been avoiding a calling from God- a strong positive feeling in me (well at least I guess so) to pursue music after Form 5. But, music is not so glamorous to me as to compare with dentistry. I'm interested in dentistry *flashes teeth* So, arts and science, such a far cry -.-

Yesterday, Mr.Joshua Synder and his team from YWAM (Youth With A Mission) spoke and shared in our morning service and youth. In short, he was sharing about Revelation 14. God is raising a 'Tsunami' in Malaysia, a bunch of Christian youths to do something great and big in Malaysia. Only this chosen youth generation will be part of the wave. Now, many Christian youths are coming together forming prayer groups and troops. We'll just have to wait and see a little longer more :)

We did some activities during youth. One of it was nailing our dreams to the cross. We were told to write down our dreams on a piece of paper cloud, commit it to God and nail it to the cross. I wrote down some common stuffs- a niceee house hehe, a godly husband/bf when I'm 21. The other dream was to use music to touch others, and to form a loyal godly Christian band and tour around the world to do ministry. Hmm, missionary? Finally, I nailed it to the cross, just submit my dreams to Him, and see how God works.

There is a link with my dreams to what I'm about to tell you now =D Later, we were given a large black bag. Inside the bag, there were many objects. We were supposed to randomly pick up an object and pray over it, see what God wants to tell us something. Before I pick up the random item, my heart was pumping like an African Bongo, drumming loudly at me : "I am so gonna' pick up something to do with music". True enough, I picked out something really interesting,


- an antique bell-

Cling-a-Ling...


As I stare at it in curiosity, I saw three portions on the bell. The bell, symbolizes music, can be used to make music.



  • The first part was a pretty love-shaped-bronze design metal. I heard God asking me, " Daphne, do you love music and do you love me?" (Sounded like He was asking Peter 'do you love me?' creepy...) I responded, Yea I love music and I love You.

  • The next part of the item was a China business-man ship. God used this ship as an illustration to me- " Since you love music and me, you will sail across the world and tour around the world with your gift in music, to do My ministry." Ooookay, sounds cool =D I was in cloud 9!

  • The last part on the bell was... Of coarse the bell lar... Hee... Bell symbolizes music. So, it was not a co-incident, it was more than a co-incident! Of all the objects, why did I pick the antique bell instead of some Johnson-Johnson Baby Lotion or a giant UHU gum??

Still asking God for another confirmation. Does that mean that I can't do dentistry anymore :-( If I want to do it, somehow God will still lead me back to His plan. I will just have to take a big round-a-bout. So, lets see how it goes ;)

Of birthdates

  • It's been looong since I last blogged. It's the familiar phrase coming out from me again. Coz' I'm busy jam-packed, been blasted with lotsa work, responsibilities, others who chucked their responsibilities to me etc. It has been always hard for me to say no and turn down on people. But I've changed this time. I know what are my priorities and I gotta care for myself and not pleasing others from now on.
  • Recently, I've looked into a little girl's life. I've known her for a long period of time, one of my good friend. She is always jolly, creative, cheerful soul, cheerful heart, loves to sing, loves to entertain her friends and loves being around with people she knows- kids her age, teenagers, adults, even grannies and grandees! Almost everyone adores this little girl, except a few of her mates envied her gift of singing and the life she is having. I discovered that she hates birthdays, surprisingly, especially her own birthday. Her friends forgotten her birthday. Upset. Feeling deeply concern for her, I tried to tell her that it's okay. Yet, she cried many times. Praying that she will get over it and will meet new friends along the way, she told me that she didn't want to make any effort like she used to to surprise her friends anymore on their special days.
  • Dumbfounded, she's just a kid. I wish I could help her. I tried talking to her as an adult, what you did for your friends will not be rewarded the same to you. We face disappointment too in life. But still, I think I understand her feeling. It was her sensitivity that led her made all her good buddies' special day a special and memorable one. I hope that she will find her way out and know that Jesus remembers her birthday, always and forever. Isn't that the best person to remember our birthday?

Last Saturday

Yeap, laaaaast Saturday, so loooong ago now only I'm posting about it. Having exams again. But I like! Coz no homework and no tuition classes teehee :)

We bravely brace through a sea of people to I-city (claiming : the most advance technology city), plus on weekends! So picture that! We had to google the place twice and got sesated many times, almost ended up in I-longkang @.@ The road was pretty bad. Some parked their cars way way far from the city and practically used the number 11 bus to get up the small hill. Wait, number 11 bus? (It's our two batang kaki called 11 bus ehehe). Anyway, if you're keen to go, please hurry coz the city is gonna close down soon~ money and electricity is sooo friggin important to their business.


What's I-city?

Nah, some pictures for u!




A city with lighted coiled wires that come in different striking colours and characters!




Christmas trees, peacock, swans, thunder lightning flashes anything u name it!


Derrick bought his light spinner,
very cool!



Derrick and his male swan attraction ahahah!


Just by taking photos, me and my daddy argued like oxen and buffaloes!
Walao, cannot tahan.
"Take bigger!"
"Why so dark?"
"Why so ugly?!"
"TSK! Like this!"
" *sulks* "
"You ah!"

Later, we three grabbed for the "YAHOO I'm here" post @.@


Must post abit hehe @.@

We were attracted by this good-looking fella down here :)
Oh, my Dear! Thou art lovely~

The end.
No! We stopped by for supper at Stargrill.
We had this superb German pork knuckle, Texas barbeque ribs and home made mom's style mushroom soup that came with colourful salad and dressings plus chilled iced lemon tea.
Pictures are unavailable, I don't have my hp cable with me, got cheated by some hp dealer, long story :)
