very very happy now.

a close friend I have from back home, who is thousands of miles away now... just called, and this time, even more than any other time, I'm so happy to hear his voice. :)

Thanks for calling. :)

Reminds self: count your blessings!

ra ra riot @ stubb's live music bar

went to a concert yesterday. A local band ( I think) called ra ra riot. It was pretty awesome :)





Basically there were 6 people, 1 guy lead vocal, 1 guy drums, 1 guy guitar, 1 guy bass, 1 girl electric cello (YES, ELECTRIC), and 1 girl electric violin. Alternative rock, I would say... vocally something along the lines of... I don't know actually haha. Go check out their page on myspace yourself.





It was lots of fun being in the front row. I was just glad that there wasn't any... moshing, going on, there seemed to be a more mature audience.








girl with electric cello on the left :) within 5 seconds of the show I told zach, "maaan, she's hot". He said that she was probably high (I can't tell but she was probably just really into playing the electric cello), but she was so hot playing the electric cello. like, WOW. i wants to play da eletric cello too.

It was a great night overall :)

snap back to reality.

all this busy-ness in life.

things to do, deadlines to meet, goals to achieve.

just got a snap back to reality this morning.

why does it all matter? what are we working towards? what really matters in life?

In this case, conventional wisdom is right. The people in your life really do matter the most.

People in the past, in the present, in your lives - the ones you ignore because you have a paper due, the ones whom calls you don't pick up because you had a hard day and wanna sleep for another 15 minutes, the ones whom emails you keep in your inbox and eventually forget to reply, the ones whom you were once so close with but now you don't understand anymore.

time to get snap back. get your mind straight. don't take life for granted.

have a great day :)

ergh

ergh. Stupid speech. The very one that counts the most for my grade in this darn class.

I could've done so much better.

Note to self: sleep and eat before speech.

taking it week by week.

busy busy busy... when has life not been busy for me? haha. Well for a few months it wasn't, but honestly, deep down inside I don't feel alright unless I'm swamped with stuff to do every day of the week.

Have a speech to give in class tomorrow. This one counts the most for my grade in this public speaking class. And I had to choose the hardest topic.... affirmative action in Malaysia. I'm proud of it I mean, love the end result, but it just took me like 3 days to do that stupid speech, way too much time. Hopefully everything will go well tomorrow. The thing about classes here is that it's very lonely, for me at least, this semester. I don't have study buddies from my classes like I did last semester. But I guess, I've learnt to study independently :)

Listening to pandora radio, who knew they had a station for Hillsong too! Haha, very very honestly, I haven't heard Christan music in the longest time. Listening to Hosannah now, feeling very very nostalgic...
