Meant To Live - Switchfoot

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than this world's got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Busy Week 12

It just can't get any worse can it? I just found out that I'm debating next Friday. Check out what I have next week.

Monday : Journalism mini-assigment, Literature assignment 2
Wednesday : Semantics Midterm
Friday : Critical Reading and Thinking Midterm and Critical
Reading and Thinking Debate

Also, I have to finish the draft for the newspaper article, because certain sucker wants it by next week. Not forgetting that I'm suppose to have Grammar assignment deadline next week, in which Ms. Cheng was merciful enough to give an extra deadline till the following Monday.

Apa hell?!

Something to think about..

This quotation just came to me in a wake of recent events that saw a few of my coursemates wanting to either quit or drop subjects. I would like to say something nicer, but this quote is also as important, so yeah, if you think it's a bit harsh, too bad.

"No one said that everything will be smooth sailing, so be prepared for a bumpy ride."

Quotation from Francios Domergue

I got this quotation from my Critical Reading and Thinking class. This quote kind of striked me hard, which was why I wrote it down, and will share with all 'ya people. =) Enjoy, and THINK about it. =)

"Some people study all their life and at their death they have learned everything except to THINK."

-Francios Domergue

A funny morning..

Something funny happened to me this morning, but thank God that it happened. Otherwise there would have been some consequences. =) Here goes.

Forst of all, I was suppose to print out and photocopy a journal for Semantics. I was told last week to do so. However, I totally forgotten about it. So this morning, something made me go into WBLE (a UTAR site for student), and I clicked Semantics. There it popped up a page where all the lecture notes are being uploaded. I then scrolled down the page, and BANG! I saw the article. I was like, "Ohh shoot!" Well, never mind. The photocopy shop that I usually go to is now there, so no worries. =)

I then went and fetch my coursemates. On the way to my friend's house, I saw her walking towards a restaurant near her house. Apparently she wanted to pack her lunch. Me being in a hurry, I thought, "Erm, K. Is it that urgent?", 'cause I was in a hurry to go and print the notes. Never mind again. I decided to wait for her.

Then I remembered that the food where the shop she is going to is nice, and I thought to myself, "Hmm, might as well." Down from my car I went, and bought the food. I reached for my pocket. My wallet wasn't there! My coursemate then paid for me in the end, and I quickly rushed back to get it.

When I reached home, I saw and realised that I have left a stack of photocopied notes behind, which I was suppose to give the class. By that time, I didn't think much, though wondering what else did I forget. I rushed back to the car, and quickly fetch the others.

As I was driving, I reflected back about what happened, about how one thing led to another. If I did decided to go and print out the notes first, I wouldn't have seen my coursemate go and buy lunch. And if I didn't see her buy lunch, I wouldn't want to buy lunch myself, which leads to not knowing that I did not bring my wallet, which will ALSO lead to not remembering to bring the notes.

Coincidence? I beg to differ. I think it was ALL GOD'S DOING, and that He let everything happened for a purpose. So yeah, ALL GLORY TO HIM! AMEN!

-eNd-

Another one..

I just happened to come up with this new quotation while chatting with a friend.

"Before it became a MISTAKE, it was already A mistake."


You've gotta think a little deeper before you can understand.

Yeah I know, only YOU understand. =)

Manchester United 1 Liverpool 4

Liverpool proved yesterday (Saturday, 14th of March 2009) that the trashing of Real Madrid during the midweek Champions League match was no fluke; Manchester United being their next victim. Falling behind to a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty, after Park Ji Sung was brought down by Reina, Liverpool then scored four in reply through El Nino, Gerrard (penalty), Aurelio and again, a rare goal for Andrea Dossena, his first in the BPL. In the process, there was a red card for the same player who was also sent off during the reverse of this match back in Anfield.

Here's the match in pictures:

Liverpool 4 Real Madrid 0

Liverpool gave Real Madrid their worse ever defeat in the last 16 of the Champions League last night. With goals from Fernando Torres, a Gerrard double and a rare goal from full-back Andrea Dossena, Liverpool completed an emphatic 5-0 aggregate win over the Spanish champions.

Here's the match in pictures:

Isn't ironic:
You listen to a sermon
And the pastor inspires you
To make a difference
Either in your own life
Or in the lives of others
You tell youself
"I want to be that difference"
"I want to be that light for God"
"I want to serve Him all my days"

Big deal
After that
One just go out
and be one's normal, pathetic self
The fire that was
burning deep within
Is now extinguished
Just by a snap of the finger
And everything that one said earlier
Just vanished

Somewhere along the line
God remindes you
Of the prayer you said that day
Of the fire that was burning
deep within your heart
The fire reignites again
Again

Big deal
The fire is again
Extinguished
This time perhaps
By the business of work
Or other unknown factors

We sing the song
"Lord, light the fire again
I feel new life begin"
Big deal
If we don't mean it
No point singing it
God can keep lighting the fire again
But if it's going
To be extinguished all the time
What's the damn point?

We must find a source
That can keep the fire burning
And that only source
Can only be God

-Give me oil in my lamp, keep it burning burning burning-

Free - Planetshakers

You saved me,
You set me free
You healed me,
You made me see
You set me free

You give me,
all that I need
You give me,
life abundantly
You set me free

All I wanna do
is praise You
'Cause You have set me free

You're my saviour
You have set me free forever
It is by Your grace and power
That You have set me free
You are the way
I will live for You all my days
Never will I hold back my praise
'Cause You have set me free

There's freedom in the Name of Jesus
Freedom from all shame
There's freedom in the Name of Jesus
Freedom from all pain
There's freedom in the Name of Jesus
Freedom from all sin
There's freedom in the Name of Jesus
There's freedom in the Name of Jesus

New Quote

I don't know how this came about, but it just suddenly appeared in my mind, so here goes.

"I'd rather be living on the thought that I have more than enough, than to face the fact or reality that I actually don't have enough."

Makes sense to you?

A Funny Afternoon..

It's was a hilarious afternoon today. I went out to old town with a fellow coursemate of mine, as she wanted to go to the KTM (train station) to buy tickets to go home for the weekend. So we went there. There wasn't anymore ticket for the economic class, so she had to buy the more expensive one. She suddenly remembered the return trip, and decided to buy it as well, only to find out that once again, the economic class was sold out. So once again she had to buy the more expensive ticket.

We laughed. Over the fact that the tickets were sold out so soon, and that she had not choice but to come back earlier from KL.

Next we went to the Public Bank, where I wanted to clear a cheque. I didn't really had any knowledge at all on how to clear a cheque, so my friend helped me ask. The guy said, "Simple. Just go to the cheque deposit machine." That statement itself made us look like fools who only entered the bank for the first time. So we went there. It was a touch-screen machine. After touching and pressing several stuffs, we finally got to the part where we had to put in the check.

The 1st time I put it in, it was rejected. Fine. The 2nd time was succesful. I key in my account number and the amount. Guess what popped up next? "The machine is currently out of service." WITH MY CHEQUE INSIDE. Kena con kau kau wei! I was like, "WHAT?!", and next I was "HOW IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM..?!", and then, "Ohh yeah, SMART." Anyways my friend called someone from the bank to help out. In the end, I had to do it manually, plus wait for two days, which is normal when clearing a cheque.

We laughed, over the stupidity of me, and the machine GG-ing us, and the way the bankers told us how things works there. According to one of the staff, he said that we had to anticipate those kind of things. So yeah..

Then, she wanted to go to Watson to get some stuff. After buying her "girl-stuff", she came back telling me that she didn't have enough money to buy whatever she wanted to buy because of the earlier incident at the train station.

We laughed, 'cause we were reminded of the incident, and that she didn't have enough money because of it, and that she didn't come and ask me for help because she PAI SEH.

Relient K - The Best Thing

It's been a year
Filled with problems
But now you're here
Almost as if to solve them
And I can't live in a world without you now

All my life
I've been searching for you
How did I survive
In this world before you
Cause I don't wanna live another day without you now

This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's
Happening to you and me

All I'm gonna have
Is all that you can give me
And I'll give right back
Everything I have in me
Cause nothing ever felt as right
As this does right now

I'll go back to before we met
Try and erase the past
Try harder to forget cause
Nothing will ever be as good as here and now

Cause when I looked into your eyes
And you dared to stare right back
You should've said "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half"

And this is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's happening
This is the best thing
The best thing that could be happening
And I think you would agree
The best thing is that it's
Happening to you and me

Always knew
I'd find someone
I never dreamt
It'd be like this
You've surpassed
All that I've hoped for (and ever wished)
And I'm tryin'
So hard
With all my heart and mind
To make your life
As good as you've made mine

Hot Afternoon..

Sitting in the cafeteria
With a group of girls
Like a coperate meeting
Some look bored
Others are enjoying themselves
Even though it's hot
And the wind is blowing
We still sat there
With yours truely in the middle
With:
YeeWei
KimYun
PuiChee
KwanYi
JiaLing
PeiChing
ChiaHuey a.k.a Marigold
BeeLing
All waiting for the next class
Critical Reading and Thinking
5.30pm
40 minutes more
It's so not worth the wait
Under this hot weather

Some of it
I wish it stayed
Some of it
I wish it go
However
It doesn't always happen one's way
Does it?
Those you want it to stay
Goes
Those you want it to go
Stays
Patheticness
I wish my brain
Had a pop-up block
Then I can choose or determine
Which of it I want it
To pop-up
And as for those I want it to stay
Will just stay
