Haircut not spray

Just came back from a haircut. Second one since coming over to Aussie-land. It costs AUD 15 for a haircut here and yes, its whooping expensive. That's already one of the cheapest. I was comtemplating on whether should i go for a haircut since i'll be back in 2 months (so fast!!!eeeppp) but then, after thinking a while, decided to go for it seeing that my exams are coming (double eeeeeppppp!!!!) and by that time, my hair would be super-long already. 2 haircuts in a year = AUD 30 = RM 100 = One haircut a month at RM 10 when i was back home. Comes out to almost the same amount so it's not too bad. During my last exams, my hair was so long, it was literally covering my eyes and i was wearing a beanie to keep it in coz i did not have my trusty hairband. Apparently, there's some rule that you can't have any head gear in the exam hall so imagine my frustration when i had to write with my right hand and use my left to hold the frinch up. IT WAS THAT LONG. Ask Mum. If only they told us about the rule earlier, then at least i would've gotten my hair cut. I might have been able to do better. LOL.


According to some Professor, haha , the lady's perfumes particles are still in my nostrils thats why i still can smell her eventhough i'm home d. Yuck. Hmmm...She smells familiar..hahah



Now to grow some facial hair. Haha

Something which i thought i would not share here

I went for a jog today along the Torrens River, it's been awhile since i last did that. (i did 5 k's..woohoo..thought i wouldn't last, but managed to pull through, hopefully knees won't give me any problem tomorrow)

On the way back, i saw these 3 old men (think beer belly, moustauche, spectacles, balding, mid-30's i would say). They were on these cool BMX bicycles with helmets and paddings and the works. I thought to myself, hmm... Next thing i know, they're jumping off cliffs and grinding on the rails. I was left speechless.These guys were 'cool'? haha.

A thought came to me, i was a huge fan of BMX stunt bicycles when i was younger. I used to go for the Asian X-Games in KL and just sit down and admire the riders flying through the sky or even doing flatland tricks.I remember pestering my parents to let me buy one and pick up the sport but they never allowed, with the excuse it's too dangerous.So i was left with the one and only thing that i was passionate about, football/soccer.

Now, it has been taken away from me and i didn't even had the chance to try riding a BMX bike at all. My point is yea, i thought i would be bitter towards my parents for not allowing me pursue my 'dreams' or even to allow me to go under the knife to fix that ruptured ligament of mine. I won't lie but yea, for a moment in life, i was. But i've learned to see things from a different perspective.

I used to tease my dad about will we ever own a BMW or a Merz?haha. He said, "Well, we could get the cheapest one now but that would mean that you can't go to Australia to study." I used to just laugh with him when he said those statements.

I've realised that my parents suppresed their personal desires to save the money for my siblings and i to study. They've sacrificed so much for us. I don't know what they felt when they found out that i tore my ligament and that i was to abstain from sports for the rest of my life.

I guess they were just as depressed.

Let's take it up another level. Our Father in Heaven gave His all when He allowed His One and Only Son to die for us on the cross. So few words but such love. I thank God that my parents have helped me in understanding more about His sacrifice.

With all that said and done, my only desire is to make My Father in Heaven and my parents proud.

I always pray for a miracle. But i'm beginning to understand that miracles don't always happen in ways we expect them to be. For His Ways are higher than ours. I just thank God that He has everything under control.
I receive whatever You have for me.

untitled

I've had questions, without answers
I've known sorrow, i have known pain
but theres one thing, that i'll cling to
you are faithful, Jesus your true

when hope is lost, i'll call You Saviour
when pain surrounds, i'll call You Healer
when silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

in the lone hour, of my sorrow
through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me, and sustain me
My Defender, forever more

when hope is lost, i'll call You Saviour
when pain surrounds, i'll call You Healer
when silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

I will praise You, i will praise You
when the tears fall, still i will sing to You
i will praise You, Jesus praise You
Through the suffereing still i will sing

Thanks to Ken n Dan, i discovered this song last Friday. It's an old one. 'When the tears fall,' by Tim Hughes.

God, i want You to be part of my every being.

'we walk by faith, not by sight.'

Thank YOU!!!!


WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Funny

Two lecturers said some totally random things in two separate lectures and yea, thought it was quite funny. Haha.

Dr W: ' Nilotinib is like Super- Imatinib,' in his lecture on the drug, Imatinib.

Dr V: ' That's what society is all about today-Money, money, and money,' in his lecture on the sue of drugs in sport.

I don't know why but the after he said the first statement, i just imagined a tiny little capsule with a cape around it and underwear on the outside. The capsule then tell all the cancer cells out there, 'You're going down!!!!' Haha.

Note: Imatinib and Nilotinib are anti-cancer drugs.

The second one..well, he's just funny. You should've seen his facial expressions when he said that.

I have realised the importance of Sabbath. Monday was a very slow day for me, guessed running around can make you tired. Haha. Duh. Mum says that i always try to save the world. I still do, only this time i've learnt to do it one by one.

I've realised one thing, being in an overseas country can be quite a challenge. You really are your responsible for your own actions. *stops and realises that hey, thats a huge thing!* No mum or dad to physically nag you and stuffs but i've got certain individuals who are filling out that space for me temporarily; really thank God for them. But yea, you decide what you want to do when you want to do and then bear the consequences of it.

Scary.

Update

After sending off G today, we saw this at the carpark. How cool is that?haha. Whoever rode that motorbike must be some joker.

Airports have always have been very emotional for me. (haha, then again, i realise i am a very emotional person, which can be bad at times) Anyway, i just realised i have been to the airport here a couple of times; most of them sending people off. My theory is that if i do that as often as i can, i would get immune to the the emotions that normally come when saying bye. For those who knew, it was very hard for me leaving KLIA in Feb this year. I am hoping that it would not be next time around when i say goodbye again.

Ish, sometimes i hate emotions. They totally drain you out.

I love not having to bath the whole day. Haha.

Best thing someone said to me today, "Why does your hair look like some 60's style? puffy at the side and flat on the top." LOL

The next 100m


Life here has been like a relay race, it's like sprint for awhile, then break then sprint again and then rest again and sprint again (or more like hop on one leg/hobble/limp then sit down and complain about knee pains and continue ). Just finished my mid-term break, the last hols before finals end of the year. And it's one of the most craziest holidays i've ever had. It's funny that my holidays have always been life-changing for me. yeh, it can be that extreme. I thank God for the experiences He has allow me to go through but at the same time, i also remind myself that these experiences will always only be experiences, nothing more. We tend to make a big fuss about it at times and let them be the thing that we seek. Funny, how our understanding of how God speaks can really influence what kind of person we become. Say for example, if i should let experiences be the one thing that shows me how real God is; my understanding of God would not be exactly accurate. But yeah, i am thankful for what He has bring me through.

Uni starts again tomorrow and I look forward to the next few months with great anticipation. I just pray for discipline and wisdom and strength and courage and passion and love and understanding and so many more things. I pray Your Will be done.

I am grateful that i got my behind covered too. LOL.

Thank YOU.

ps. im coming home soon. Wait for me.
