A Glimpse of Me.

I wrote an entry in my Journal today. Yes. I have a Journal. I'm a nerd. It's how i communicate with God and i've been very blessed and it kinda opens my eyes to His greatness. I totally encourage everyone to do it! :)

Anyway, i re-read it and i felt that i should post up a small portion of it here. Just a small bit ;)

Dear God,

I just can’t believe how amazing you are. How humble and gracious.

“I know you love me.” It’s from a song. And it hit me, 87% of the time, I really don’t know if you love me. Of course, I understand your love but it’s all only in theory. But then again, in the little moments in life when I experience what I call “The Epiphany”, you are really magnified and wonderful and amazing.

I don’t understand you and I don’t think that I ever will. Maybe somehow, there is beauty in that. You amaze me but yet I don’t know how. You leave me to bring me home. You hurt me to cure me. You make me foolish to give me wisdom. That’s how beautiful you are.

Your love never ends and never fails. Your wisdom and your ways are beyond comprehension. I know you will move mountains for me.

I feel foolish to have ever faltered or doubted you. I feel ashamed that sometimes I don’t trust your love. And I feel sorry that each time I do these things, it breaks your heart.

Ok. So that was it. I hope it encouraged you like it encouraged me :)

Have a nice day!

Falling Slowly.

Omg! I looooove HyunJoong & HwangBo! You guys won't know what i'm talking about but it's like a Korean Reality TV kinda show where celebrities are like paired up and they have to pretend that they are a married couple. The show is called "We Got Married". And you get to see all the sweet things the "husbands" will do for the "wives". It's so sweeeeeeeet! Makes me feel like getting married to a stranger! Hahahaha.

Anyway, HyunJoong sang this song for HwangBo. I used to love love love this song. It was like on loop in my playlist. Hehehe. The lyrics are so extremely sweet. So.. random stranger.. hello there! If you want to marry me, you know what to do ;)

Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

Unrequited Love.

I've been blogging waaaay too much. But I found something worth blogging about today. Don't worry.. It's not nonsense like Bunnies or Smelly Socks.

I was doing research for my Thesis and I found some really cool stuff about unrequited love that i thought i should blog about. Hehe

Quote from a Japanese poet, Ōtomo no Yakamochi:

"Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there."

Verse from Abraham Cowley:

"A mighty pain to love it is,

And 'tis a pain that pain to miss;

But of all pains, the greatest pain

It is to love, but love in vain."

Poem by Robert Burns:

"Anna, thy charms my bosom fire,

And waste my soul with care;

But ah! how bootless to admire,

When fated to despair!

Yet in thy presence, lovely Fair,

To hope may be forgiven;

For sure 'twere impious to despair

So much in sight of heaven."

TeeHee! Isn't it beautiful and sweet yet extremely sad at the same time?

Hope you enjoyed another one of my random nonsense! :)

Smelly Socks.

So.. I was really bored and stressed coz i can't think of any new ideas for my Thesis Film. So i decided to blog. Hehehe!

I was thinking about what i should blog about. Purple pigs? Orange Pandas? Pink Lions?

Then it hit me like a cannonball! I should blog about smelly socks! Absolutely brilliant.

You know.. Sometimes when there's a party and the weather is so hot and humid, the moment everyone takes off their shoes, especially when it is done simultaneously, you get that stench.

That crazy "Who farted and burped after eating Durian??!!" stench.

It's smelly socks! I tell you.. Those things can kill. You know what we need? A special spray. A spray or a gel that can get rid of the smell.

Why did God create us this way? So that the world will be a more interesting place? Hmm.. Maybe it's just so that when we have nothing to do.. we can blog about it! Awesome.

But not to worry, people with smelly feet! It's not as bad as having hairy ears coz no one can pinpoint you!! Muahahaha!! (no offense to people with hairy ears. you guys are very special. it is rare.)

So that's all i have to say.

Tata for now. Or as Tigger likes to say, "TTFN!!"

Seven Bunnies Are Funnier Than One Bunny.

Bunnies are so cute. Don't you think?

And the best thing is.. They're funny too!

Just imagine.. A little bunny.. Looking to the right and to the left. "Bop Bop", its head goes. And then "Sniff Sniff", its tiny pink nose twitters.

And with a giant leap of faith, the bunny jumps! "Boink Boink Boink", it goes! With the wind blowing by it's long ears. Then Boop! There is a sparkle in the bunny's eyes! Its eyes are wide open in shock!

It waits.

Then it looks around. When it is certain that no one is watching, it giggles because the wind in its ears was too ticklish to handle.

A lady in a red dress and red heels walks by.

The bunny uses its paws(?) to cover its mouth. "Oh nooo, I cannot be seen laughing!" it thinks to itself.

The lady bends over.

"Why look at that! What a cute bunny!!" and squeals in excitement.

Bunny rolls its eyes and bounces away.

Now..... imagine that times SEVEN!! Muahahahaha!!

Hilarious.

Ooh that's it for the Tag! Niceee. Need to stop procrastinating and get some work done. Bye!

Bye Bye, My Baby.

Last year, around this time, I met 2 fabulous people who loved food as much as i do. We nicknamed ourselves after tastes. I think you should understand how much we LOVE food.

Anyway, after many tiring days in college and crazy moments, we came up with the most fantastic plan! (Alexa, i still remember our conversation about it in the noodle shop! Hahaha)

That is how we gave birth to our baby, Food Busters! It's s food club, we go around town as a big group to look for yummy yummy food.

We had such big plans for the club. We even wanted to go to Penang for food! *Sigh*
We wanted T-shirts. That's how much we loved the club.

Our promotional sign.

Almost 20 people showed up for our first outing!

We had Pan Mee!! :)

This was the 2nd outing where only 4 people showed up.
2 of which were the presidents of the club -.-
We even got lost on the way there. Heh.

Our Haraboji eating Pan Mee for the first time!

This was the very LAST outing. About 10 people.
Not bad. I took an extra long lunch break from work to be part of it. :)

*Sigh* Now.. Our baby is being closed down because we are being scattered all around the world. Boo-Hoo! We killed our baby! Sorry, Mr Loh for letting you down! We were his 3 Musketeers.. Hehehe.. I feel so bad for disappointing him!! He had so much faith in us!!

Anyways.. I just realized that we were in the same classes for only ONE semester. Doesn't it feel longer than that?! Crazyness.

I miss you nonsense women!

We shall meet in Paris!! Muahahahaha!! =P

And Joash, videographer for Food Busters, please send the stuff to Alexa! She's gonna cry!
*whispers* you lost it, didn't you? heh heh heh
