SECONDLASTEXAM
so i just did my programming exam, and i'm safe to say that i have screwed up my last chance to obtain a first class degree. i have no one to blame except for myself really, i mean i could have so easily selected an easier module or something that i love instead of trying to do something "challenging", or something "good for my future"....blah blah blah, and i chose a programming module over a multimedia module. so i had my programming exam yesterday, and i totally tried my best and all those crap, but sometimes doing your best just isn't good enough, and this module was my last shot in getting a first class degree. sigh!
i would like to state that i have totally learnt so much from this module, and for once in my life, i know what's programming all about and i can actually write programs... but you know what?? so what!! big deal!! your best just isn't good enough. frustrating, really....
but of course it's not the end of the world, i mean when i started my degree here, i really wasn't expecting a first class degree anyway, maybe because i have never done well at anything in my life, so why should this be an exception you know, then one day i just realised... i can actually do this... the way they structure the thing here actually gives me an opportunity to do it... so for my last semester i really tried my best to do well, but obviously just isn't good enough. maybe that's why i'm frustrated, the fact that i could actually do this, but didn't...
oh well... back to being "mr.average at everything i do"....

BADTIMING
so my mom and sis was here in uk about 35 days ago... which was great and nice since it'll be the first i'm seeing them in almost 10 months. i was brought loads of goodies from home including unhealthy lovely junk, healthy lovely soup ingredients (some wormy things...disgusting but absolutely tasty)... and not forgetting lovely goodies prepared by kumah... great stuff..... although i must say most of the stuff brought have already been devoured..... anyways it must be a week since they've left now... they were here for about 30 days... and i only spent less than a week out of home with them, thanks to the perfect bad timing....
so the 1st week, we went to paris for 3days... it was really really fun to be with my mom and sis again... after so long... i miss 'kacauing' me sis... absolute fun... anyways the 1st day spent in paris was a lovely tour in paris... going up eiffel tower, went to arche de triomph... and few other places, then had a lovely french cuisine at a lovely restaurant... absolutely amazing food... seafood platter in particular was amazing... anyways that's that.... then the 2nd day... we went to euro disney in the outskirts of paris.... it was brilliant!! it was really fun.. tho' i must say that disney is great for kids... the roller coasters are not as exciting as i expected it to be.... loads of those characters bouncing along tho'... didnt get to catch mickey but caught donald and chipmunks...hehe... and also sleeping beauty.. or was it snow white?? well, one of them anyways.... who can tell the difference anyways..... also that nite... we went to a famous restaurant which served pied de cochon a.k.a. 'fatt lan sai zhu sau' / 'fatt guok zhu sau' / pig's trotters.... not that all great as it was raved to be.... prefer 'dong poh yuk' as most my friends would already know... the 3rd day... my sis decided to get sick, food poisoning as they call it... probably from those leg things..... so we went for a little shopping then caught the train back to london..... so that was the most time i spent with me mom and sis...
after that... i mostly spent time at home doing courseworks... while my mom and sis are out in london having loads of fun....actually come to think of it.... thank goodness my aunt and uncle are around to take them outing... cos i really didnt have the time to take them out, although i had the whole list planned since they decided to come in march.... so during the weeks that they were here, i was absent in uni for that period cos i think it's a total waste of time to spend 4hours travelling on the train when i get to spend time with them as well as doing some work... staying home was way more practical (well, to my calculations anyway)... at least i get to spend time with them at home, when they're around that is.... it was really great that at nights they usually spend the time at home.... and my mom would cook... i know i know... my mom still has to cook in her trips and stuff lah dee dah... but she wants to cook for her son... i'm can't stop her.... what's a son to do..... anyways it was great to eat my mom's cooking again... not that i don't love my aunt's cooking....
anyway.... so it's the last week they will be here... and i have not spend that much time with them apart from paris and dinners... but do i have a choice? no!! i had to stay home to finish my work... not that i can finish it earlier so i can spend some time with my family....as most of you would know..... i'm stupid.... i take more time than others to finish my work.... so therefore i spent yet the last week with them it the room alone doing work.... if my sis were to see this, she'd say that i lied... well, maybe i did lie a weebit... in that i do sneak out a little (ok....maybe a lot... hehe) to maybe watch the tv with them or something....hehe
so it was the last deadline of my courseworks... i was to hand it in on friday.... and guess what?? friday is the day they are flying off.... so is that bad timing or what?? so they spent loads of money to fly here to see me (at least that's what i like to tell myself...hehe).... and what did i do?? spend less than 23% of their time with them.... so do i feel good they were here.... sure!!.... so do i feel bad that i didnt get to spend as much time with them as i would like to.... definitely!! so do i feel bad for being stupid... might as well!! but it doesnt really matter since i've never been bright anyways....
anyways.... that's that... so i would conclude that this trip was really bad timing though i did manage to spend some short quality time with them, although it would have been much more fun it they came during the summer.... i would also like to conclude that being stupid didnt help either.... hehe...

To the broken hearted,
EVERY LITTLE THING
DELIRIOUS?
Everything must change
There’s a mirror showing me the ugly truth
These bones they ache with holy fire
But I’ve got nothing to give, just a life to live
If your world is without colour
I will carry you, if you carry me
Every little thing’s gonna be alright
Every little thing’s gonna be alright [x2]
There’s no-one else to blame
I live my life between the fire and the flame
I’ve built my house where the ocean meets the land
It’s time to live again, pull my dreams out of the sand
Let your world be full of colour
I will carry you, if you carry me
Every little thing’s gonna be alright
Every little thing’s gonna be alright [x2]
When it’s all falling down on you
You’re crying out but you’re breaking in two
When it’s all crashing down on you
When there’s nothing you can do
There is someone who can carry you
Every little thing’s gonna be alright
Every little thing’s gonna be alright [x2]
++ Sometimes, everyone just need a little encouragement, just very simple encouragement, by just saying simple words like "Every little thing's gonna be alright." ++

DELIRIOUS?WORLDSERVICETOUR'04
Went for yet another Delirious concert, and this one is called Delirious World Service Tour '04. Venue: Shepherd's Bush Empire @ London. Date: 131004. It was absolutely an amazing concert. Absolutely powerful, and energetic. Best concert I have been since the last Delirious concert. The opening act was by Rock & Roll Worship Circus, which was great as well. Anyways, the atmosphere at Shepherd's Bush Empire was amazing, but yet again, another dissappointment, there were a total of three bar counters, selling alcohol, and there were, yet again people drinking. But thankfully, that was just a very small minority. The rest was absorbing what was the best performance. We were dancing (jumping) to most their songs, and singing along as hard as we could. Their worship songs was as superb as ever, and God's presence was amazing. Wow!! I might just go for another Delirious concert in December, just can't get enough. Brilliant stuff!!
+ the pics were taken using my phone, hence unclear+

MYPRAYER
Father God,
You have been wonderful to me,
many times I have fallen,
and many times You have been there,
all the times You have lifted me up,
and You have not abandon me,
but instead You have loved me more,
every time I call Your name,
You are there with arms wide open,
to greet me, to listen to me, and to embrace me.
I had gone out to the world,
I had seen the world,
and I had joined the world,
but never once I felt comfort,
never once I felt home to myself,
never once I felt love,
Jesus help me, I am lost,
I have no directions, where am I going?
I am weak, and I feel so frail.
And then I called Your name,
there You are holding me in Your arms,
yet again,
and I felt comfort, I felt home, I felt Your love,
yet again,
I kneel down to You, crying...
Why have I been foolish,
Jesus, why am I not the person that You want me to be.
Oh God,
I pray and I pray,
please forgive me for all my sins,
please Father, give me the strength to change,
I want to change and through You, I know I can,
let me be reminded of You everyday,
let me be reminded of the sufferrings You went through on the cross, for me.
Let me be refreshed with Your love, every single day of my life,
let me love You more and more.
Lord I can feel You, Lord I know You are here with me,
Lord I know You have forgiven me,
Lord I know You have cleansed me,
and I know I am being given yet another chance,
and I will grasp this chance,
and make sure it's my last.
Oh Lord,
I lift up my hands to you,
and I marvel at Your grace.
You are God, and You are King.
You are so beautiful,
beyond words I can ever describe,
Your love is so beautiful.
Father, I pray that You show me my direction in life,
lead me the way, Lord. Show me, guide me.
Oh Jesus, mold me into who You want me to be.
Jesus,
I pray for my parents,
I pray that one day, they will acccept us as we are,
I pray that one day, they will be happy for us,
Father I pray that one day, I will see them rejoicing with You, Lord.
And I know, that one day will come, and in Your time, it will.
Jesus,
I pray for my sister,
God I pray that she will be encouraged,
Lord, let her love for You grow even more,
Father, give her the strength,
that she will one day do great things for You.
Jesus,
I pray for all my friends,
I pray for those who loves You, and calls unto You Lord,
let them love You more everyday,
let their work for You bless Your people,
let them feel Your wonderful love everyday.
Father, I pray for those who has forsaken You,
Jesus, guide them, show them Your love, let them be reminded,
thet there is no love greater than Yours.
Lord,
I would like to thank you, Father,
for even giving me the utmost wonderful family and friends,
Father, bless them O' Lord.
Jesus, You are so beautiful,
Lord, I am so encouraged by You.
Be with me, as I walk this journey,
let me not walk astray again.
I love You, God.
Amen!

ANENDTOANERA
As some of you might already know, it's my last day of work today (hence the theme song on previous post)... and I'm officially a jobless student again... WOOHOO!! and I must say that I am happy that I'll be a student again, and I am beginning to realise how brilliant being a student is. Well, it also depends on what kinda studies you doing, but as for IT students, we do have 3-4 day weeks, which is good, and you just gotta attend lectures, do some assignments and study..... it's that simple.... but of course that's IT.... I don't know about the rest... but I should believe that the real working life is not that simple after all, it's not just about yourself anymore, but the rest of the department...
..............and so I sat there and realised.... I only have one semester left, and then it's officially off to working life... I mean, all my life I have been studying.... from kindergarten to junior high school to high school to college to university... and I have been most comfortable at it, well.... too comfortable that I don't get good grades..... but now, after I finish my last semester... I have to come out to work, come out to live, pay bills and taxes.....
so after the last semester, it will be an end to an era.... and a new one begins, and that's the era of the working life..... but as for now, I am gonna take every advantage to appreaciate what's left of the study era........

FINDTHECOLOUR
Find the colour
Sight and sound
A new exposure comes around
Anaesthetic for the mind
Hear the voice that soothes away the pain
Television, satellite,
Conversation running dry
Sending back another text
Holding on to words you might regret
You know you might regret
[Chorus]
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Find the colour, find the colour
Looking for something new
A taste of life to pull you through
Defences down your feeling low
A change in feeling comes around againI
ts coming round again
[Chorus]
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD
SO DAMN GOOD....
I read the papers yesterday
They say that the bubble boy's ok
Another day of rain to come
We're sitting back still waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
[Chorus]
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Now i see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD!!!
