* Monday, October 24, 2005 * Yesterday is gone. Music Sunday is over. Can't help but feel a little relieved. It was a pretty stressful morning... having to wake up early didn't really help - had barely 3 hours of sleep... Was busy adding in the subtitles to "Copi-o Gau No Enough" because of the headachy audio... Then I had to run to church (not all the way of cos...) because I was running late. Oh well. Managed to reach right before praise and worship segment that Em led ended. Maybe I shouldn't have ran so fast... The screening was rather good I thought. Not sure if the audience understood the cinematography but... it doesn't really matter, does it? Then it was time to meet for the final preparations for Music Sunday. Ran through everything one last time and we were good to go. My voice sounded weird. Couldn't reach the high notes as well. Cause: lack of sleep + didn't warm up during service + "pris" 'n' chips after-effects? AGRH. Thank God I had Joan and Beni to back me up in praise and worship and our song item respectively. I was super nervous can. Butterflies in my stomach. TOO MANY PPL. Plus that was supposed to be evaluation after the workshop with j... Gosh. Half way through the whole thing I felt like I needed to go to the restroom. Personally I was very pleased with the band's performance (as in 表现-biao xian, NOT 表演-biao yan), they were great. And I think the whole programme went on rather smoothly EXCEPT for the closing song. I'm soooo sorry. It's my fault. My mind blanked out for a short while. After the whole thing was over, many came to encourage me, sang praises and thank me. I so do not deserve all these. It's the Lord's doing. I didn't do anything. I only made a blunder in the closing song. (-__-") Anyhow, I'm super thankful to them for always encouraging and appreciating. It feels great leading His people to sing prasies to Him in one voice. Amen. HMM. Had headache and puked again. Think it happens pretty often. Is it normal? Maybe I have a tumour in my brain... I won't be surprised if I really do. Think I'm getting more idiotic each day. Labels: Christian/Church

* Wednesday, October 19, 2005 * One and a half more hours before I can finally leave this place... Bro came visit in the afternoon... at least there's someone here to keep me company for a few hours. hee. I've got another visitor now... a petite but really violent one. A LOST KITTEN. This setting did not make the situation better. Thousands of people walking to and fro... pop songs blasting away at the DJ station... the faulty photo-printing machine at the other corner that kept saying "select option... select option... select option... select option..." Little kitty came running in front of my stall, scaring screaming women in short skirts and heels. Dashing in the speed of light, a rodent I thought it was. It longs to go back to where it came from. This place is not meant for a kitten. It does not belong here. Running round and round the gigantic fountain umpteen times, it still can't find its way out this enormous mall. All it sees is glass doors that surrounds... keeping it from going out into the world. Frantically searching for a way out but it sees no open door. Or rather it didn't even know where the open door is. Someone tries to help and bring it out but it struggles to break free, hurting the guy in the end. His hand is now covered with blood, the ground is blood-stained. The lost kitten is now hiding in a corner beside my stall, meowing away. Several times, people come and offer to help but it scares them away with a "roar". I feel helpless everytime it meows. HEY KITTY. I CAN'T HELP YOU WHEN YOU REFUSE TO BE HELPED. SORRY. There is a puddle of walking under the cat. It peed. It's trembling in fear. I spoke to it in all the languages I could think of asking it to leave by the exit right on the other side of my stall. I even tried meowing to it. It's no use. It won't listen or shall I just assume that it doesn't understand... I know I'm a little impossible to be able to connect this two issues together BUT well, this kitten's situation is like that of a backslided christian. Somehow, christians who have backslided are like the kitten... this mall is like the ways of this world, the sinful human nature... the world outside is where we will be with God and have an intimate relationship with Him... the people helping it are like people like our mentors, pastors, teachers or even God Himself. They long to go back to where they once were... close to God, sharing a relationship with Him, being at the center of His will. Like how this kitten is longing to go back outside. Everyday, they live their lives not knowing where they're heading... they know they are seeking for something that's missing in their lives. But where exactly is it? Sometimes, when people want to help and guide them, they just shoo them away in arrogance. Screaming a lie out loud, "Don't touch me! Leave me alone! I'm not lost!" There are times when they hurt the people who want to help them as well and soon, no one would bother anymore. They constantly seek for that "open door" when it's actually wide open. Why do they fail to see? In the end, they hide in that corner and lament on why they can't go back to their first love. They run away when confronted, and just refuses to be helped. to be continued... Labels: Christian/Church, School/Work

* Sunday, October 16, 2005 * LAZINESS IS THE CAUSE OF IT ALL. Anyhoosies. Yesterday was the recording day for "Copi-o Gau No Enough". It went on pretty well, with a proper script I wrote over a few days... having good actors helped quite a fair bit too. Thank God we managed to work out the schedules so that we can finish it all within that few hours before YF. We shot in the market... we were so blessed for having no lunch crowd when we were there! wow. Anyhoosies. Those who go to the market quite often with me will know that there's this cleaning lady I'm super afraid of... She is like having PMS everyday lah. Super "buay song" when she works... After my first bad encounter with her, I would try to avoid her whenever I go to the market... I wouldn't want to cross her path man. Still remember there was once when I asked her to clear and clean the table for us, she came with that "black" face and very unwillingly cleared the table then she swept some dunno-what on me! She should be thankful I'm not the kind of person who will kick up a big fuss... if not. On another occasion, I was sitting at the table waiting for the others to come back after ordering their food... then when I got out of my seat to go and place my order, she was clearing the table right behind me! There wasn't much space between the seats with 2 people standing there so I waited. After a while, I concluded that she will not finish clearing the table as fast as I make my way through... so I walked sideways and I was already on my way out. She just had to turn around at this point of time! gosh. I stepped right onto a land mine! Nearly banged into her... and she was scolding me without words. Hmmm. I can tell she's scolding me even though there weren't any specific words of condemnation. *Speaking from experience* That's it. After that, whenever I go to the market, I will look out for her... just to make sure I won't get in her way. However. After some time, we came to a conclusion that she is deaf and she can't speak. No wonder. Alright. My suspicion has been proven true. I saw her when she was off-duty. She looks happier than when she is not working. Her colleagues were trying to speak to her by inventing new signs that all will understand. I wished I could talk to her. I wished she wasn't so fierce. Somehow. On that very same day when we had some problems with the drink stall uncle because of some ridiculous misunderstanding, she was the one who was told to come and clear our tables. It just had to be her. After clearing our cups away, she kinda signalled to us that the man want us to leave... it was then when I finally plucked up my courage to sign to her. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I just needed that platform for that first conversation to take place. Anyhoosies. I saw her again when we were shooting... She was coming to clear our table and I signed a simple "Thank you" to her. All of a sudden, she smiled and 'said', "AH, you were the one talking to me the other day! No wonder you look so familiar!" Then she asked how i know sign language... before I realised, we were engaging in a conversation! She was asking what we were doing... what it's for... I was really glad that I managed to talk to her. I look forward to seeing her again. I pray that one day I would able to testify to her. Labels: Christian/Church, Random

* Monday, October 10, 2005 * Definition - "A spasm of the diaphragm resulting in a rapid, involuntary inhalation that is stopped by the sudden closure of the glottis and accompanied by a sharp, distinctive sound." I think I'm scaring my customers away. Not that they are any in the first place. Dang. There are numerous wireless internet access here where I work! wooohooo. Tapping from N-Y-D-C... It ease my pain a little. *hiccups* Labels: Random

* Saturday, October 08, 2005 * WHAT AM I DOING AT THIS HOUR OF THE DAY? "I CAN'T sleep!" I'm at it again. Once in a while, I will feel like this... "I WANT TO PLAY SPORTS!" I think I will lose touch in all those sports I used to play... or even lose all ball sense that I was once proud of. Like how I can't play pool anymore now... Can't imagine what it would be like when I finally get to play badminton or tennis... AAAAGRRRRRRRH. Soccer. Badminton. Tennis. Touch Rubgy. Volleyball. Table Tennis. Captain Ball. Squash. Inline Skating. Floorball. Netball. Ultimate Frisbee. Basketball. Softball. etc... What if one day I lose my voice? Can't speak nor sing? Wouldn't I be MORE miserable? Alrights. I should shut my mouth. "STOP Complaining!" I want to believe that ALL that happened happen for a purpose. God's purpose. It did. I feel a little better now. Labels: Random

Short break away from her. again. YEAH. No more money for supper. Labels: Random

* Monday, October 03, 2005 * I was having monday blues when I woke up in the morning... was still feeling a little sick but I had to go anyway. sigh.  I'm selling the M-e-r-l-i-o-n-3-8 at suntec city. Crap. Can't believe I'm doing this. You can come and look for me if you're find your life too interesting... It'll definitely bore you to death.  I was lost when I went to work this morning... hah. Stupid siah. Cos 700A only operate in the evening on weekdays... and 700 doesn't bring me to the convention centre. My attempt of trying to get me there with minimum walking distance failed. Sold my first M-e-r-l-i-o-n-3-8 in the first 2 hours of work... to an American. I didn't spend a long time persuading actually... I just played him a song and he was like.. "Awesome! I'll get one." He didn't even frown when I told him the price. Wooohooo! SOLD. My new campanion at work... A-u-n-t-i-e A-n-n-e-'s!  I got free pretzels from her! woohoo!  The pastries are constantly telling me... "Come eat me... come eat me..." *groan* Here are my other companions...     I think I look like a directory. More people approach me for directions than coming to look at the stuff I'm selling. One of the more memorable encounter... 3 Thai ladies tried hard to explain to me that they were lost in English... I decided to reply in Thai. They were super surprised and they started going on and on about how they got lost. I helped them called their friend and they finally found each other. *smiles* I felt really good after that. Helping someone with a new language I'm learning... cool. After I sold my first M-e-r-l-i-o-n, time stopped. Each minute is like an hour... Each hour like a day... Finally understand what it means to "du ri ru nian" siah. Just came home and I feel sick again. Puked. Pretzels and lemonade in the toilet bowl. Labels: School/Work |
