Sometimes.....

I wish I wasn't born smart, so you won't expect so much from me now...

I wish you'd understand me and start seeing things from my perspective...

I wish I could live my life and do what I really like instead of what u expect...

I wish you'd stop comparing me with those mega-dynamic people because I am who I am, I'm not them...

I wish I have somewhere where I could cry my heart out and yet no one will hear or know...

I wish I have a heart of stone so I won't feel hurt and disappointed...

He Knows

Its really amazing how God knows everything... I know God will never forsake me for it's written in the Bible... But sometimes, I'm still human... I can't help feeling like, maybe, just maybe, He's forgotten bout this daughter of His... Maybe, I've slipped his mind for a while... Sometimes, He's just so quiet..........


The past week has really been an emotional roller coaster ride...... Its amazing how you can sometimes feel so alone even when surrounded by friends... How sometimes, the silence can be so loud... How one person can lift your mood but a while later, the same person can cause your mood to dip suddenly... Needless to say, its been hell of a week, not really in a good way...

Gym really upped my mood yesterday, with Jam and Combat classes... But still, the emotional ride the whole week has kinda left me drained out... Then today, when mum came and pick me up from gym, she handed me a pair of new sun-glasses she bought from Gurney... She told me she saw it and thought I would love it... Said if I prefered my old glasses then she'll take the new one... Thing is, I broke my sun-glasses 2 weeks ago~!!!!!!! And it nearly broke my heart... I love my sun-glasses.. Was wondering when only will I get a new one since I'm not prepared to buy anything so soon after my iPod... And my mum didn't know a thing... But God knew........ And here, today, I was given something that totally lifted my mood.... And now I know, God still cares... He even takes care of the little things like getting me a new pair of sun-glasses just to cheer me up...

It may seem like little meaningless stuff to other people... But to me, its really comforting..... =)

What A Ride

Went for lunch with Deline and Chris after gym today... What an awesome decision... It resulted in risking my life on the ride of my life... Ok, maybe I am exaggerating a bit... It wasn't that bad after all... Quite fun... But since it was only Chris' third time driving, well, needless to say, there WERE some heart-stopping moments... The best 'scene' was when a school bus came from the opposite direction and he just stopped the car and the 3 of us just shut our eyes and half scream half laugh, waiting for the bus to pass us... HILARIOUS... We then went to pick Alan up... Now, his driving ain't bad at all... Except maybe just need some getting used to the manual gear... Overall, it was hell of a ride in the afternoon... And I enjoyed myself... =)


p.s : Thank God I made it back in time to print the stuff I'm supposed to print...

My Very Own iPod Touch... FINALLY.......


Be Still

Rammed my car this morning... Had to pay the fella RM 100 as compensation...


Sometimes, I can't help but feel helpless... I really don't like to be perceived as a someone who is not capable of handling things herself... Ever since losing my dad, I've been putting in even more effort to prove to myself and everyone around me that I can do it, I'm strong, I can handle anything... And most of the time, I pull through with God's grace...

I'm usually very cool and calm when facing anything, but when I rammed the car this morning, somehow or other, I was traumatized... I just froze... The uncle ask how much I wanted to compensate him and my mind just went blank... In the end he suggested RM 100, and I just gave it to him... I know it may sound like I'm a weakling (and I hate it!), but I really don't know what came over me this morning... I was alone and suddenly felt so freaking ALONE in this world... Driving to work, I just broke down in my car... Suddenly feeling so tired... Putting up a strong front whenever troubles and problems turn up, for so many years... I thought back IF my dad was still around, I would just call him up and he'll settle the car stuff for me... Now, I don't want my mum to know cause I don't want her to get worried, so I just settle the RM 100 without telling my mum... Made me feel so dumb now(and I hate that feeling too)!!!

Told myself this will be the very last time I'll freeze......... Told myself this will be the very last time my mind go blank... Told myself I'll NEVER let this happen again.....

Then God told me "Be still and know that I am God"........ And instantly, I knew, everything would be fine... I may have lost my dad, my security blanket... Love him to the max... But I've always got my God.............

Past Weeks...

Past 2 weeks have been pretty much a blur... Not to mention having laziness kicking into my life... Blog left un-updated... Masters proposal on hold for more than a week... It's bout time I get my life back on track...

The only thing I think that's still on track all these weeks is my gym routine... As a matter of fact, been increasing the number of classes I attend a week, changing my workout routine to slightly, only slightly more hardcore.. Used to attend only Jam and Latin, but now going for Combat and RPM too... And am loving it~!!!!!!!!! The feeling after gym everyday, and the after effect the next morning is really damn good! Sometimes, I feel I maybe slowly turning into a gym freak... Hopefully not.. haha..

Anyway, for easy reading, I'll be putting it in point form... During the past weeks, I've :

1) Been steadily changing my workout routine
2) Been checking the Switch shop every few days
3) Attended a farewell and a birthday party
4) Been reading journals till my eyes go blur
5) Been getting VERY addicted to a Beyonce song titled 'AveMaria' (irritates me that its always replaying in my head, but at the same time, can't help liking the song)
6) Attended the G-Next camp and asked to lead dance in public (freaking mad~!!!)
7) Made a bunch of great, new friends...

Of Crazy Night & Sleepless Night...

One of the craziest gym nights I've ever experienced... Last night.. I'm really wondering whether we actually went mad just for that one hour last night... Me and the girls were really having the time of our lives joking and laughing... Think we were actually the noisiest group there... Deline and me with our crazy imaginations, Lay Fen with the rendition idea of 'Only You'... Poor Angie and Cynthia stuck with us at the table... My goodness, it was such a funny night... And having Chris hop in every few minutes flinging his sweat EVERYWHERE around is not making it any better... We were pretty off our mind last night... BUT, nevertheless, we had a great time...

Topics covered were, 'I Know You Want Me', 'protein drink', oh oh only you, flood, sexy butt, pink hello kitty towel, steam room, female Hong Kong singer.. Seriously, it maybe surprising but all these topic does link... haha... By the time we hit the shower, we were all pretty much off the hook.. haha...

Unfortunately, at night, I couldn't sleep very well... Didn't get much sleeping done as a matter of fact... Was coughing really badly... Gonna buy cough mixture so that I can have a good sleep tonight...

'Crushes'

Pretty sure everyone's had a crush on someone before... That certain feeling of affection for a certain someone... The feeling you get when they look or talk or have their attention on you... The fluttering of butterflies in your stomach, the feeling of excitement that makes you wanna jump up and down, the joy when they smile at you, etc etc....... Funny thing a crush is, isn't it... And it certainly is not limited by age...

A crush on someone appears as suddenly as it will disappears... All it takes is for that certain someone to smile, make a comment or even react in a certain way, and suddenly, you just develop the crush on them... You really can't put your finger as to what exactly did it, but in a flash of a second, that someone became your crush... And for the duration of the 'crushing period' (as long or as short as it could be), whatever that certain someone does or say, most of your attention will be on them... Not to mention that any slight attention from them towards you will send you rocketing to cloud 9... But then, one fine day, as suddenly as it appears... Poof! It disappears...

A crush is not love... It should not be mistaken for falling in love with someone... You can have a crush on a person you barely know, but you will only learn to love that person when you truly know him... Though, in my opinion, having a crush once in a while is not a bad thing... It sorta sends you back to your teenage years when you get all giddy if a guy winks at you... haha.. Once in a while its kinda refreshing for the soul... Not to mention, adding some spice and excitement into a mundane, routine, grown up life... =)

Love,
Angel

My Day On The Ferry

God Saves The Day~!

It's amazing how God takes care of the little things in our lives... Was driving to work this morning when I turned the corner during yellow lights and there they stood, in their uniforms, by their bikes... Policemen... One of them waved me to the side and ask me to wind down the window... I knew I did nothing wrong, turning when the traffic lights was yellow... It wasn't red yet... But when the 'man in the uniform' asked me "Tau apa salah?", I knew they were gonna pin me for running the red lights...

And seriously, even if u know for sure it was yellow lights, if they say it's red lights, there's nothing you can do bout it... They hold the damn power... But I went along with it and answered him "Tak tahu.." cause I really dunno what I did wrong.. I mean, driving through yellow lights is not against the law... Only if its red lights then you've gone against the law... Anyway, he asked for my license and ask again "Tak tau apa salah ke?"... And again I answered while handing my license to him, "Tak tahu..."... Thought I was a goner for sure... Gonna get summoned for something I didn't do wrong... Just a split second of difference from yellow lights to red lights and from not breaking the law to breaking the law...

But God is good... He saved the day... Before the 'man in the uniform' could even barely glanced my license, a bike behind me ran the red lights and he stopped the bike... Returned me my license and waved me away..... I mean, how great could God be...... He never fails to amaze me.... Praise God ~!!!!!!!

Something To Look Forward To..

Really looking forward to tomorrow... Well, technically, today, since its past 12.00am already... It's been ages since I really last hangout with my friends... Just chilling out and having fun... Life lately has been pretty stagnant.. Work, uni discuss Masters, gym... Don't get me wrong.. I still love gym... But I've been feeling my life has kinda really been a routine... Sometimes, you can just get sick of it... =)

So anyway, it's the Raya weekend, meaning LOOOOONG weekend holiday ~!!!!!!!! Hui's back from Singapore and the gals are gonna go chilling later today at Gurney!!! We haven't decide whether it would be Secret Recipe, Coffee Bean or Starbucks.. I personally wish we could go somewhere with free wifi... Miss bringing my lappie out and surf the net at places like that...

Will be hitting gym at 11.30am for Jam, followed by Line Dance then Combat... Expecting an awesome time at gym actually.. haha... The it's straight to Gurney to meet my peeps... And goodness knows how long we'll be hanging out there.. =) Feels good to be catching up with old pals... Can't wait~!

Captured My Heart

Was watching Hannah Montana : The Movie this afternoon and this song somehow caught my attention.. Lovely melody... Quite country-ish... Went and checked the lyrics online and fell in love with it immediately.. Simple lyrics, simple but powerful ~!

Butterfly Fly Away
(By Miley Cyrus & Billy Ray Cyrus)

You tucked me in, turned out the light,
Kept me safe and sound at night,
Little girls depend on things like that...

Brushed my teeth, and combed my hair,
Had to drive me everywhere,
You were always there when I looked back...

You had to do it all alone,
Make a living, make a home,
Must have been as hard as it could be...

And when I couldn't sleep at night,
Scared things wouldn't turn out right,
You would hold my hand and sing to me...

Caterpillar in the tree,
How you wonder who you'll be,
Can't go far but you can always dream,
Wish you may and wish you might,
Don't you worry, hold on tight,
I promise you there will come a day,
Butterfly fly away...

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away,
Flap your wings now you can't stay,
Take those dreams and make them all come true...

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away,
We've been waiting for this day,
All along and knowing just what to do...

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly fly away,
Butterfly fly away,
Butterfly fly away...

Another New Look... Experimenting...

Considering the fact that my favourite colour is white and also feedbacks from cousins and friends that black kinda make the whole blog look somewhat 'darker', I decided to go 180 degrees around and to put the background bright sparkling white.. Testing to see whether white gives it a chic new look... Surprising myself, it does~! Much as I love the black background, it gives the blog an edge, I also love the sparkling brightness the white background provides... And it looks chic... haha.. So currently still undecided... Gonna leave the white background around and see how I 'feel' bout it in a few days... If no further changes, means I prefer the white to the black, and vice versa.. hehe.. =)

Living The Dream

Graduation's done... Now is stepping into my next phase in life... But what IS my next phase in life... Work? Masters? As a matter of fact, both is in the picture... It's already been decided, I'll be doing my Masters first then only I'll start working.. But in the meantime, while doing Masters, I'll most probably be working some part time job...

Few years ago, if you ask me what I wanted to work as, I'd have answered Engineer... When I was in my high school, ask me what I wanna be and it'd be Lawyer... The thing is, now, if I'm ask, what is it that I really like to do... It'd either be dancing or photography... Don't get me wrong, I'd still want to be an Engineer in a multinational company cause it pays bloody well BUT its definately not my passion...

Through the years of growing up, I've always known what I wanna be when somebody asked me the question - it's either an Engineer or a Lawyer, nothing else... But I've come to realize recently that those were dreams planted by our family, friends, society... Dreams and visions provided by those around us... Even the education system in the country promotes all these professional jobs... Giving the illusion that these are the 'good' jobs... Thus, all the kids and those growing up have dreams to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, accountant, etc etc... But what actually is their passion ???

Shouldn't we dream to become something we're passionate about? Because of the mentality and the upbringing in our culture and society, we've grown to believe that only those people who work as professionals are 'smart' and have 'good' job... If ever you tell a person that you're working as a dancer or a photographer or a designer or etc etc, automatically the perception is that these are 'common' job, unstable job, job that don't really need intelligence, a waste of time, etc etc... BUT sometimes, these are the people whom we should look up to... They are the ones who have the courage to 'work their passion'... True, there are some that takes this kinda job cause it's easy, but most of the time its cause of PASSION... They are living their own dream... How many of the professionals, doctors and lawyers and engineers and others, are actually living their dreams? Living their passion? I daresay, my own opinion, less than 50% are actually living their dream or doing what they really are passionate about... They are actually living up to the society's standard of a good job, living up to other people's dreams... Frequently, any kid who voice out that they wanna pursue their passion will not be taken seriously by their parents... It will just be laughed off as a joke and that person goes back to living the dreams planted by others...

Why am I taking Masters ??? Partly it's really cause I feel I needed the cert to get a better job with a better pay when I step into the working world... The other part ??? I wanted to try and be part time photographer while doing masters... My own photography business... My passion... Want to try living my dream for a period of time before falling back into the real world and picking up dreams planted by everyone and anyone around me...

Living my dream?
