Bethany Joy Lenz - Halo

i love this song.... its from one tree hill... i have heard this song a long time ago.. and love it.. so why now.. because i just realize the meaning of the song.. and its really meaningful...

well enjoy the song =D

tired... maybe?

well its that time of the semester again.. the time when i feel frustrated, angry, empty, hungry, emotional, moody and lost all at the same time... and i don't know why... i mean maybe cause i always try to be cheerful and upbeat =.= when i actually just wanna die and sleep... or maybe cause of the pressure of studies and assignments and all... now is the midterms season after all... aiya.. i am just stress la i think.. =.= and i think i m a stress eater... meaning i eat when i m stress.. =.=" which is a bad thing... and sometimes i feel .. that .. why do i have to always be smiley so that people won't think i have a problem... people can be moody and still be normal right?... and pretend to be happy all the time is damn tiring.... i just wanna be however i feel.. but then there is a risk of me lashing out my temper like some crazy person.... haiz... why is it so hard to be human.... i don't wanna trouble people.. i just wanna be myself... and for people to just understand that...

i know i m confusing... =.= don't think too much into it... i m fine.. just a little frustrated... =.=

p/s:... i love the sound of the sea...the waves crashing into the shore..

Church camp

the church camp was .. a really good one =) a time a rest for a bit... the theme was Rise and Build... to build an intimate relationship with God.. well for me.. it really reminded me ... that everything i do.. should be for the glory of God..and maybe reemphasize that we should never rush God... maybe i was to impatient... hence i don't hear from God... i know he has a great plan in stored for my life... but i am impatient to find out... that i forgot that... its not about me... its about God's timing ..

well .. and it is very clear.. that to have an intimate relationship with God.. we need to put our pride... our everything down ... if not.. God will not be able to give you what he has in stored... well .. we have to have God's desires at heart... knowing what he wants for us... and being mindful of God... i know its hard to be mindful of God when we are busy with our studies.. and all but then... if you place God 1st.. God will surely bless you in everything that you do... "seek ye first the kingdom and his righteousness and all these things shall be given to you.. " hahaha.. which is very true..

been thinking about what i wanna do in the future... you know?? the long term goal.... well since i dunno what God's plans are... i will just have to make my plans.... and when God decides to reveal..i will just have to make way for His plans for my life =)

thats all... =)

American Idol 2009 Finale

i might be 2 days late .. but "better late than never" i always say =) American Idol has just crowned the new American Idol~ and i think they got it right... Kris Allen deserves to win... i cannot believe is Adam Lambert won =.=... cause in my opinion.. yes Adam has a big range and strong vocals... but... can you imagine listening on the radio with all the high notes going off... i mean if you listen to Kris.. it will always be current... you can listen to his voice over and over and over.. PLUS!!! he has a cute smile... so.. hahaha i like Adam too... his hair is always fly... but its the high screams you know.. my ears are delicate...

anyways... i know Adam will be successful in the music industry... but Kris will sell more albums =) i mean come on... =.= if you compare Adam & Kris... Adam is something like KISS... when they performs together.. they sound good together... and Kris is like the current Kelly Clarkson... you compare KISS and Kelly... who is more famous... the pop genre... sad to say hahaha... but maybe Adam can change it... maybe in the near future... high screams will be a norm.. and you wont feel weird to hear it on the radio... hahaha...

oh and the 1st single is more suited for Kris lar... Adam totally doesn't suit this kinda songs... with many words and no space for his screaming.. screaming need space... long prolonged spaces.. haha... Kris sound so good in the studio version of No Boundaries !! go listen!!!

i dont think the world is ready for Adam's theatrical singing.. and his new ideas... oh.. his guy liner... =.= but!!! i don't mind his hair and when he sings without the screaming or sitar like singing... hahaha

Kris will do well in the current music industry... and he plays the guitar! and piano... and he phrases the words of the songs like a pro... makes you feel every word of the song... love it!!!

3 cheers to Kris... and FYI... i have been listening to his 1st single "No Boundaries" on loop since i started writing this post.. hahahaha.. i love his singing lar...

during the announcement... this was the most priceless moment.. i think Kris thought Adam will Win... look at the shocked face.. lol priceless...

Movie: Sell Out

yup i m the last of the 3 musketeers to post about our movie expedition =) last week Adeline, Kelvin and myself went and watch Sell out... and guess what?!?! we decided to watch in the dead of the night =.=.... literally... the cinema hall was empty.... this goes to show... either Malaysians don't support Malaysian Films... or !! Malaysians are hard working people and go home after a long days work =) and don't go watch midnight screenings of anything... aren't like some students... *cough* akhoo Adeline *cough* kelvin... *cough... ahahahah

ironically.... Sell Out.. is not sold out.. in terms of sit...

proof of the empty-ness...

we even get to snap photos DURING the movie...

anyways.. for adeline.. she went for the movie because of the apparently Hot leading actor, Peter Davis or the leading actress Jerrica Lai.. .. hahaha and for kelvin.. i think he went to see his friends' acting.. or to purely support Malaysian English Films... hahaah anyways... i went cause i was stressed ~ and the trailer looks and sounds amusing =) ...

so anyways... thats my 2 cents =)

overall i liked the movie.. but it was a bit artsy for me.. don't really get the ending... but i applaud the Malaysians acting in it.. and also the Malaysian director.. bravo!!! for highlighting and over exaggerate a few Malaysian habits and cultures ahahah... the aunties chasing the taxi.. was funny... hahaha.... and the musicals are fun =D.... "money..... why do you like rich people....."

enjoy the trailer =)



for Adeline's and Kelvin's part of their experience... click their names!

and a last note... please support Malaysian Films =)

retreats after retreats.. tired

the semester breaks were so short... it flow by just like that *snap*.... i did not even get to go shop till i drop... haiz~~ but i did spend time with fun people =) after the crazy exams..

the CF committee has our CPR(committee planning retreat) in Goh Tong genting... really fun... this time around it was relax and really quick.. with two new addition to the family, JC and Lam haha... anyways... in the mids of the crazy planning.. we had time to joke and laugh and be just normal humans for once...


p/s: i love the breeze in Goh Tong... just totally... cooling.. if only KL was like this everyday...

---

Class started right after that... of course i did get to go eat yaki-yaki with the fishes and a bunch of ucsi humans... but yaki-yaki = yucky yucky... not even worth more of my time blogging about it.. hahaah

but the company was good =)

---

then Class started last week.. and i have been crazy busy... Year 3 is really different... more stress.. and on the 1st week it self... we have presentation and assignment and tons of reading.. tell me WHY~~~ haiz~~ but well hopefully i wont die in the process and maybe increase my brain power.... i really need to start reading more on the current issues... =.= i m so not well read...

help!!

---

then there was the worship retreat with the Radiant Life Worship Team... haha.. RLWT.. anyways.. we went to Selesa Resort near Genting.. So... it was a really great retreat... pastor Paul came and speak for us.. and praise the lord.. the entire retreat was sponsored by our church~~ woohoo... anyways... our worship team really faced some breakthrough.. we try to make concious decisions to improve and we realise that.. hey... serving in the worship team isn't suppose to be glamourous.. its about serving God... and coming to God with a God-fearing heart cause compared to God's holiness we are nothing... but by his grace we are still able to serve.. so we should all get our act together... and serve properly... but this doesn't mean we cannot enjoy what we are doing =) we can still have fun and enjoy serving God and being in the presense of God...

---

well thats all with the up-to-speed-updates... been busy with everything.. need time with God.... please pray for me ah people...

Youtube Symphony Orchestra @ Carnegie Hall

The 1st Youtube Symphony Orchestra has introduced the World of Orchestra the wonders of using the internet to connect people.. and that music really does bring people together regardless of language, background, and country...

i feel this is a very good concept, giving gifted, young aspiring musicians from all around the world the chance to speak with their music.

seeing performances really encouraged me to really want to pursue music properly.. i mean.. i have always been able to play music.. but not very well.. but i totally believe that it is not too late for me to start being serious about it =)

if you are interested in music.. you should work hard on it and pursue your dream...

watch the vids.. it may be very long (1hour per video)... but its worth the wait =) i suggest u click and pause it.. then go do other things.. after its loaded.. then come back n watch it =)

note in act two.. Yuja Wang... her piano skills are wicked sick...

Act one



Act two

I know I have dry lips...

here is another random facts about nally =)

did you know.. i really dislike people offering advice about my lips.. i know they mean well.... like asking me to put Vaseline... or lip balm... or butter... or oil... as if i did not already went to the doctors... anyways...... i m very very very sorry if i m being harsh but seriously.... =.= its an insult to me... don't you think i feel bad enough.. having to endure with the pain... and looking in the mirror every single day... hoping that a miracle will happen... having people ask me every single day why my lips are like that... having advice thrown at me....

let me ask you.. do you like people staring at your pimple and tell you that you have a pimple on your face... of course you don't.. so.. what makes you think that telling me that i have dry lips will be any better... i seriously know you all care... seriously.. but sometimes... less in more... =)

sorry GA.. i know you mean well... but... this is a sensitive issue to me.....

if this is the first time you met me.. its ok.. i understand.. but those who have been with me for years... please... its already sad enough....

gifts from people... and pills and creams from doctors.. that does not seem to work..well all in hopes that i will one day have better lips... sorry i lost a few.. but well... this is just to prove that i have really tried....
