A Small Glimpse of an Infinite Power

2010-10-13T20:18:00.000+11:00

So, in knowing that today (Wednesday) would be a busy day - as all Wednesday's are - but more especially because of being caught up with helping out some friends til 3am and having to wake up real early to hit church for some great prayer time, I asked God for supernatural energy for today.

In no way would someone on 3 hours sleep, be able to get through prayer session, evangelism team meeting, being used by God to share a message, and endure two hours of IFA from 4-6pm at the end of the day, if it weren't for God answering my prayer. It wasn't like I felt like superman or anything, but for a guy who would much rather nap than meet his friends for breakfast, today was completely testament to God responding to my prayer.

Prayer meeting rocked, God spoke.
Evangelism team rocked, God was there and of it.
SL Live rocked, God was stirring up and convicting hearts.
Hanging out with Steaven all day was actually quite rocking too.
IFA .. was incredibly confusing, but I did not even get close to napping in the entire lecture!

All on 3 hours sleep. But all because of God just simply responding faithfully to a prayer. I really gave it to Him last night, because on paper, what I had ahead of me today, and on the amount of sleep (relative to the amount of sleep I need usually), I could only rely on His strength. And He gave it, very generously, and without me realising it until I sit here now and reflect on what God has done for me today (which I hopefully will make a regular consistent thing - counting my blessings and acknowledging how He moves in my life everyday)

I had a 10 minute nap before IFA and that was it! Ashley Chan naps are usually 1-2 hours long. Minimum 30 minutes at the very, very, VERY least. So I can't explain it any other way except that God really drove my day today, and I'm so thankful.

Thats the power of prayer! A small prayer, said in faith, can work wonders, even without us realising it.

It doesn't feel like holidays anymore.

Sounds like a song title. Ah. Maybe a muse has visited me. =P I do have a tune in my head, but I don't think a tune about holidays not feeling like holidays because of exams and homework is a very worthwhile song. However, if I made homework/exams ambiguous so it sounds like.. a lover maybe, that'd be interesting.

Can I be bothered? nah =D

Sucks to Swallow when its Swollen

2008-09-19T11:42:00.000+10:00

"noun. either of the two small masses of lymphoid tissue in the throat, one on each side of the root of the tongue"

Le tonsils are homo-ed. And my throat itself is fine? Just my tonsils are fully stupid and making it hard for me to swallow. Like super hard. LAME.

Photos.

2008-09-14T21:09:00.002+10:00

The curses of always taking photos for everyone is.

There are never photos of you.

And.

Facebook.

I just realised the many photos that I have not shared because I'm such a lazyass:

I'm going to have to devote an entire day (and a lot of my uploading per month capacity) to upload onto facebook photos of just about everything I haven't uploaded in ages.

And its really bugging me, its like a disgusting feeling inside of me thats scratching to get done.

Its saying "upload them already" ewww ick i can't describe it.

albums to be placed up include:

- Kim's 17th

- Stuff at church

- Kids Outreach (training and actual 4 day program. urgh that'll be the death of me - 1000+ photos to sieve through)

- A school album (300+ photos i'll have to go through)

- Mark before he leaves album

- Tattoo (DEATH.)

- Jason's "Surprise" B'day

The burden of many photos. I hope people will appreciate them when they do appear.

Seatbelts.

2008-09-14T20:23:00.002+10:00

Ever been in that position where you come to the realisation that your seatbelt is a little tight?

Then you tug it, and it doesn't budge. So you kinda like "push it in" and then it doesn't tighten even more.

When I was something like grade 2, I had an epiphany of these mechanisms. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Was outside the pharmacy at Knox, mum had gone to buy some druggos and that very situation occurred. And I freaked out. Was like omg, its getting tighter and I can't do anything about it.

And I kinda sat there stressing for a minute or so. Then it hit me.

Undo the buckle.

I always wanted to know how seatbelts knew "hey I'm gonna get tight and not move now"

So I checki-ed it out on

quite cool.

ALEX STARTED A BLOG AND HIS PHOTOSHOPPING SKILLS HAVE INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY.

ALSO CHEMISTRY EXAM MONDAY I'D BEST GET GOING TATA.

6 WEEKS TIL EXAMS SHAT.

Reminiscient

2008-08-30T12:40:00.003+10:00

Hello!

Wow, its been an exciting couple of weeks.

School. School. School and.. oh SAC and then more school.

Enthralling.

On a brighter side, as a team effort of Alex, Shivani (sometimes), Michael, Jon uhhh and moral support of Kamal (NO wait he did get one or two words.. "macaroni"!!) completed TWO crosswords this week in The Age.

I've never completed crosswords before so yay to us!

Also got bestowed the honor of playing at the SchoolAerobics Hiphop and Aerobics Nationals on Sunday starring Beny's guitar (video'll be up soon)

Speaking of videos, I watched that Battle of the Bands clip from start of this year - quite enjoyed that performance =) voice went homo at some bits though weeee

Also, I get to organise the song for the Year 12 Review (photos of each person) and Graduation AND Valedictory! friggin sweet.

If anyone reads this and has any suggestions for a song that is reminiscient, reflective and just an overall good song (i spelt that first word wrong i think) perfect for a year 12 end of year type event, then the tag board is there so do post!

Radha pointed out to me that next week is the final week of proper school ever - cuz then after that its trials and examinations and revision and stuff .. scary because I don't want to leave school! urgh. Same story for everyone whos gone/going through year 12 hey?

Okay anyhow just thought I'd say something - I am slightly alive yes.

Cool bananas
spash ketchum.

PS: please go here - this guy is phenomenal . http://www.esao.net

2008-08-24T01:13:00.003+10:00

You know what? I think I will! :)

Thanks Facebook Team!

Only got 4 minutes to save the world.

2008-08-17T23:54:00.004+10:00

PS: title of this post is because it was started at ... yeah you can work it out.

So today, the 40 Hour Famine ended for me at 11:45.

I was joyous, and couldn't wait to eat a spring roll from the baptism lunch of Kenneth Han (congrats buddy.) and then eat a cheeseburger, go to this apparent lunch at the Wong's house to celebrate Uncle Luke's birthday then sleep and do my english essay this afternoon.

Boy was I in for a shock.

In short:
I'm very oblivious and tired since the famine made me... very tired and oblivious.
Also my parents are very good planners and even better liars.
I also have friends who must be used to lying to my face coz they did a damn good job of it today.

Surprise, its a day before Ashley's birthday and SURPRISE, a repeat of 2006, I got a surprise lunch.

Damn all I wanted was some sleep, sheesh.

NAH! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Brilliant job by Ruth who drove me to Kay-Nox and we bought 2 cheeseburgers and 20 pack of nuggets then mushrooms and Perinase sauce from Coles before "heading home to pick up a pot of food for lunch at Uncle Luke's house".

I even saved a chicken nugget for Pretzel cuz I thought he'd be so lonely at home whilst parents were at the Wong's house already. And then I walk downstairs and everyone yelled SURPRISE at Ruth with me following closely behind in which I thought to myself "Damnit they got me again." in the most LOVING way.

SCORE its 12 o'clock NOW. So I'm officially 18 now.

Chanchal Panwar = Number 1

Closely followed by Anu Kumar then Suzie Kim with the Bronze.

So yes, we proceeded all to have karaoke, eat Nando's, pizza and plenty of sushi and by 4 everyone got tired of it and left.

It wasn't over, next was a High Tea (no idea what it is. Must be sophisticated for dinner) with all my aunties and uncles that have seen me grow up. Which meant, (I hate to admit. And I hope they don't read this) seriously a lot of um.. gifts. We'll end that there.

But in a nutshell ? My plans of sleeping and studying were postponed until 12:00 which is now-ish. BUT ALL FOR AN AWESOME AWESOME REASON.

Three massive highlights:
1) Got the BEST card I think I've ever gotten? (Pictured)
2) Got pretty much the most practical and "I didn't think of that" gifts from the Godbrothers and Sister (Pictured)
3) Got to spend my afternoon with most of the people I love most dearly.

So yeah, sick day. I'm gonna start my homework now.
Gnights to you, thanks for reading

iCrave.

2008-08-16T22:15:00.006+10:00

13 hours remain.

ITS HAS BEGAN.

2008-08-15T22:58:00.003+10:00

Rumbling stomach. Craving food. Afraid of the next 36 or so hours. Writing errors (especially in the title of this post)

The annual 40 Hour Famine is upon us, this year its graced me with ending one day before my birthday. Thanks World Vision.

Greetings also to my audience of 2, possibly Jon and Marcus. If anyone else is reading, salutations and I do hope that you find me somewhat interesting and I can blog to fulfill your perverse needs of prying into others lives. Jokes. I do love you please come again.

So much has happened since my last surreptitious (mysterious?) post of: You frustrate me. Read on if you're interested. If not, gaze upon the photos of what has occurred. Pretty much sums it all up.

The 2 yearly, and final Tattoo ever:

a showcase of musical, acting, dancing and comedic (also under acting) talent from prep to year 12, spanning all campuses and over a whopping SIX nights!

was on.

Danced in the opening number of Hairspray's "You Can't Stop The Beat" singing the black lady's bit of "You can't stop today NO as it goes speeeding down the traack ooooo child YEAH".

Also did a .. 'duet' with Suzie Porrit - I was this dark figure in the background with a microphone. Light was shed upon me for about 10 seconds.

According to Mr Bell (Director of Arts at Hailey) the item is:
"Suzie Porrit and Chris Gassin.. et al. (and others) "
the only others is 2 names: Jesse and Ash. Really not hard.

The story is that in both the separate girls and guys assemblies, he advertised this item as Suzie Porrit. No mention of that Ash Chan kid. Bleh.

But I've had my blitch about it all ages ago and so just got over it.

Also sang in the finale song "Circle of Life"

The Tattoo is a joyous event in which all gather together and socialise, meet new people, dance and sing and its like life becomes a musical and rainbows pop out of everywhere with bunnies and hundreds and thousands.

Everyone also got sick too. So I guess ... rainbows with dark colours and bunnies with malaria with hundreds and thousands of uhhh bacteria particles. What am I on?

I too was unlucky to have be struck down and was out for 2 days of this week.

UM. What else is mildly interesting. its been cold? You know that psh.

OH I'm totally excited for High School Musical 3. What a homo. Check out the trailer and you might be too.

Tonight was J-Walk and it was an awesome program.
God is our shield and strength.
He keeps His promises.
He allows us to come Him despite us being scum.
We are filthy and unclean but he cleanses.

Pretty much motivated for the prayer group at school again. And possibly speaker/pastor/missionary.
But no way am I ready spiritually. Gotta give up more and commit more.

GOOD. Okay well, its now been 3 hours 35 minutes and I'm officially starving. I'll sleep to get my mind off stuff.

What do I want for my birthday?

That question has made me realise how blessed I am and I don't want much I guess.

Nintendo DS ?
Nintendo Wii?
PSP?
New Clothes?
Money?

Thats about it. and the first 5 aren't necessary. So yeah.

Okay photos, gnights.
ASH

AH!

2008-07-07T20:31:00.000+10:00

ARGH. you frustrate me =P

...

2008-06-12T22:17:00.002+10:00

I don't know what to title this ..

And I don't know if its sad or funny?

I guess.. just think twice before you punch someone in the back.

Camera Technique.

2008-06-08T00:42:00.004+10:00

IT LOOKS like I am liking that black, screen-ed gadget in my hand.
But thanks to the amazementness of CAMERA ANGLES and TECHNIQUE, I have FOOLED YOUR EYES.

It's like a magic eye without the magic eye! Be astonished at the Great Zimzamadashley!

Yes it is I, I have returned. I initially thought I would blog JUST for the stay at the Wong's and JUST for the time my parents were gone. So what better way to finish the lot of posts with this one.

I have recovered now from the excitingmentness of having my parents come back, and seeing my dog for the first time in ten days. Mind you it is now roughly (Monday afternoon til Sunday morning.. umm) 5 days and several hours since they have come back. It took me that long to recuperate as I was so overly massively overjoyed.

You, stop laughing, I actually DID miss them, despite not outwardly showing them.

Was actually surprised to see Pretzel (yes that is my dog's name. He's also a Shitsu and a Poodle hybrid - work that one out yourself) after 10 tens. HE WAS AW SHO KAHYOOT.

SLR Camera: $1000. (and $350 off mum and dad)
Lacoste Shoes: $70. (BARGAIN!)
Having return home to two dead asleep parents who were more excited to see their dog than their son: Earth shattering.

Did I tell you mum CRIED when she dropped off Pretzel before the trip, but looked like the burden of the sins of the world was lifted from her shoulders after dumping me at the Wong's house? Gosh. Talk about priorities.

Exam is on Friday. I'm massively tired and have to play drums for music tomorrow morning at churchies so better go!

You know how your armstretch is roughly the same as your height?
Mine are longer.

ASH!

PS YES I KNOW:typos:
10 tens = 10 days.
in re: emotions/missing parents, i didn't mean not showing EMOTIONS (them). I think. I dunno I"m too lazy to scroll up and change it but you get the gist. Gist. Mist. Hissed. Pissed. Snake. Rake. Fake. Cabbage.

DAY 11

2008-06-02T00:14:00.004+10:00

I am in the wee minutes of Monday morning. Just finished a little Chemistry revision. For those of you that may read this and know my pain, NEAP practice exams are freaking nuts. Refreshing though, and they make you feel very insignificant and stupid, which is a great thing especially before an exam.

Day 9. Saturday, bummed, Chadstone with Ruth and Holland and was looking for a formal present for my formal date s2s2 oo, Anu.

Day 10. Sunday. Woke up early because its the FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH. New month means new music team, meaning team Ben was on so yeah. It also means one day closer to MONDAY, when the rentals come back. Went to Goshen at Glen (which the S looked like either an F, I or antideriv sign. Thanks tron.) was alright. Hot plates are quite hot so don't touch them.

David and I realised the hard way, through small thrills of tapping the bowl quickly and having the delayed pain hit a solid second after touching le bowl. Fascinating.

Went back home and slept then had pizza for dinner and watched Narnia and Gladiators. TOTALLY FREAKING FUN.

I do have a complaint about Gladiators. Australian Gladiators are too pansy. I rather prefer the bad hardcaw bad boy (aka marcus) fake acting rather than the "Ah, the competitors were good, but they need to step up because they're against us that Gladiators! *flops wrist* .

I was hoping for some angry "HEY GET ON YOUR KNEES B*TCH I JUST OWNED YOU ASS CUZ I'M ANGEL. YEAH THE ANGEL OF DEATH AND YOU'RE MINE MOTHERF."
Something over the top and angry and fake and fake.

thats my rant. Narnia also has to be the worst (apart from HP4 and 5) adaptation of a book ever. Obvious blue screen fake backgrounds and the animals coulda been a little realer maybes. And the movie was kinda .. scattered, not a flowing storyline.

OKAY i'm boring I know, stop reading if you haven't already. I'll go sleep and you should too.

You get dizzier if you stare up rather than down, whilst spinning around.
ASH!

DAY 8

2008-05-30T23:54:00.000+10:00

My rents are almost home! Wow.

Its late and I decided to take photos of my eyes in bed in a dark room. You wouldn't guess its a dark room but photobooth on mac actually takes photos and uses a mock flash (turns the screen white). Not interesting? Yeah I agree

Tis late
Farewell

DAY 7 - A WEEK IS OVER.

2008-05-29T21:18:00.003+10:00

WE ARE BUT MEN! ROCK.

Me and Ruth are singing Tenacious D - its her fault not mine.

If you were wondering (which I know you weren't) here's how my room looks, its rather cosy.

Friday tomorrow! woopee.

Day 6 - MOVE ASIDE SCHOOLWEAR.

2008-05-28T20:15:00.000+10:00

MY DAY IN A PICTURE OR TWO.

ALSO. I MISSED ONE MORE J FOR THE KNOX SUNDAY ENTRY.

SORRY J. JON PHEY. I.E GREATEST IN THE UNIVERSE.

HE LEFT RATHER EARLY THATS WHY I FORGOT HIM BECAUSE HE DITCHED AND WENT OFF WITH MISSUS.

SORRY.

EXOHEXOH
GOSSIP BOY~

Day 5 - Early Sleep

2008-05-27T22:26:00.003+10:00

Tis' 10:30.
A needs S, so A decided to S early so that A could wake up tomorrow morning and not feel the effects of having no S.~

Shawty got glow.

2008-05-26T23:44:00.003+10:00

DAY 4 - My best friend is a heater.

2008-05-26T23:19:00.002+10:00

HELLO!

Yes I posed with Ruth's heater.

Because it gets extremely cold here at the Wong Res-d.

But that heater is my life at night, especially at 11:20 when its freezing in this giant mansion of a house.

I had school today. Its alright. Monday - not long left til mum and dad come back actually - its day 4.

Come back soon parents. I miss you .. and my camera .. and all the presents you'll get me. But of course you most.

Ruth just asked me.

"Is that my heater in your lap?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"No reason"

I didn't tell her I took photos with her heater. Muahaha.

Okay I'm gonna go sleep now, because yeah I'm gonna get some good sleep tonight. Rather than sleep at like 1. (was doing homework last night tsh)

NIGHT!
xoxo buzz boi~

WHERE'S THE M?

M was there too. M bought us KKs from his workplace. M drove A and me (gossip/buzz boy) to Knox and we had lunch at Nudle. M got chicken udon.

um. yeah.

a thousand apologies.

also my GREATEST FRIEND EVER ANU KUMAR (she's totally fluent in english. but her dad is fully curry accent) was like:
My dad said the randomest thing today.
He shouted at my brother from downstairs:
CAN YOU EAT A BANANA?
and he was like
"YES"

and that was it.

I found that hilarious. think about a curry dad saying banana. its hilarious.
also random. and there was no follow up to the banana question. not even offering a banana?

anyone smiling now? no? i know you are marcus cuz you and share some sort of similar humour. and you politely laugh at my unfunny jokes anyway cuz i'm your fomm. thanks audience of 1.

Day 3

2008-05-25T22:54:00.004+10:00

Mother fell over in Singapore at Immigrations!

It sounds as if I'm really happy about it, but I was like "oh man. great start to a holiday"

She's fine now, thanks for asking.

Today was church, got there mega late. Went to out to Knox with J, D, A, J, A, N.

Yeah, funny thing I'm starting to watch Gossip Girl. lol at the use of letters - I have to think about it when they're like "S is fighting with B who is the brother of L and X's twin sister who married H and divorced M to get back at S who is actually the son of L which lives underneath Q and R's house"

its quite confusing.

Had a great time trying on dresses with Lex and Blick at Myer. And bought a scarf.

This house, is like - full of allergens (dust) and is the extreme temperature house.
Summer: no air con = freaking hot
Winter: heater, but house is big = freaking cold

Yeah. Gotta do some chemistry, a maths assignment and an english assignment.

ex oh ex oh
who am I? I am spiderman.

Buzz Boy.

(that doesn't have the same ring as Gossip Girl I think. btw, Jenn David Adam Jackie Alex and Nicole was the previous thingamaboo.)

thats my study area that I've constructed. For those of you that know the Wong Residence, the drum kit is there on the er. Well if you sit in the seat (which I am doing) its on the right. If you're looking, its on your left. yep. hope you got that, not that you care. YEAHHH~

Day 2

2008-05-24T12:02:00.003+10:00

Just woke up. I'm really tired, contemplating going back to sleep.
I finally purchased my Canon 450D - tis' awesome.

Too bad my singaporean parentals have decided to elope back to their hometown and take the camera with them (so we can take advantage of Duty Free and cancel that 150 dollars GST. joy)

So I'm here stuck at the Wong's place. Olin Court. Yay.

Day 1 was Friday (Day 0 was Thursday night) and I woke up and had 1 day at school.

Today is Saturday and I have nothing to do except sleep a little. I may study later. Who knows.

Major bummage.

BYE!

2008-04-29T21:11:00.002+10:00

Hello Marcus.
(and anyone else who reads)

So the chance of more than say, 2 people reading this, is so slim that I'm just gonna take off my clothes whilst writing this.
Although that really doesn't change much because you can't see me nakey right now.

GOLLY. It's like every year Jon starts writing his blog again and someone'll get motivated to start theirs again. This year the victim is (to much surprise) the one, the only, the witty, smart, first year uni, negro singaporean: Marcus Wong.

Marcus (if you do read this, since you told me on that thing on the right to write something new) did like 3 blogs when he used myspace (very holistic, godly ones too mind you) and there opened a window of opportunity (or an unpretentious slit at least) for 'makuswong' to enter the blogging world.

One year later, Marcus is now a hard-core dedicated blogger (or bloggah as he says) and writing about his everyday life in his journals. Go visit him at http://makuswong.blogspot.com

Ah.

This is supposed to be about me. Letsee, i'll try to give it to you in less than 17 words.

Year 12
Many 18ths
Failing chemistry
Career direction-less
Hungry Jacks = $$
Formal = lack of $$
Holidays = chemistry/$$-ing
Now: school.

There 15 words. That's basically it, as if you care.
I can do a rubik's cube in 1 minute 30 seconds.
Good job geek.

OKAY!
Wow - I remember doing an entry like this last year when I was doing the 40 hour famine.
So its Currently 12:00pm Sunday afternoon/morning and I started the famine on the 18th August (happy birthday ash) at 7:00pm SO i'm now..1..2..3..SEVENTEEN hours into the famine! YAY! how the world cares.

ANYWAY - list of cravings - not as extensive as last year - I'm sure it'll increase by dinnertime tonight:

Easy Mac
Char Siew (screw spelling) and Duck Rice (had that for lunch on Wednesday best ever)
Crunchy whatsit..that fried chicken from Walrus in Springvale
Thai Fried Rice from Springvale somewhere
Pho

And thats it for now.

And a triple cheeseburger from maccas or hungry's.

that it now I guess.

I had "Fame!" on Wed-Fri (tues was dress rehearsal just as bad) and Friday was the afterparty at Soph's house and then I got home at like 4:30am yay. Woke up at 8 by a birthday call (thanks julia (Y)) and slept and then woke up at 11 by Kamal and MET UP WITH PEOPLE AT THE CITY TO GO FORMAL SHOPPING.

MAN this is so boring so I'll just say I had a good past 5 days and now at home alone.

OH and the story of the day was that started at 7:00 when i left the city at 10:00 before I did I went to LORD OF THE FRIES and bought fries and after I paid i realised that i couldn't eat them. You fricking pooner ashley chan. TSK.

yeah - i have pics of me being lame and holding the fries and also the fries by themselves but my mobile USB thing isn't working so just imagine a cone with fries in it and my beautiful face.

Thanks.

hatatatatata, pretzel got locked downstairs for "being a bad boy" (bad pronounced fobby and like someone moaning lightly the word bed). He's jumping on the door and making a 'hullabaloo' aka. hoo-ha aka. foofaraw aka. ballyhoo aka. ruckus.

I promise you those words are real - and synomonononynomous.

...

yeah that word.

methinks after exams I get into blogging. Arr.

WOW!

it has been SO long since i've updated this - yet I remember the good old days

i think i might start getting into blogging again;

so has life been since my last post? I don't even remember when it was - but pretzel is a beast now.

Not only that, but we've adopted two new cats - Oscar and some random kitten - gonna call her randokitty or something

adopted to a point where, they don't belong to us, but we feed them and they always come to me after school =D

anyway, the REAL purpose of this blog was for me to post up my new shoes.

THEY WERE FREAKING CHEAP

and if you're a sneakrfreakr and going "man those are gay"

sor-ry

and if you're normal, then check these out =D

the red and blues are Nike Air Force 1: Premiums
the green (and put wrong way round) army ish styles are Nike Court Forces
and

the..purple ones are like..Nike 6.0's which I've never heard of

Air Force 1's were 150 reduced to 100, but the 100 was crossed - still i thought they were 100

THEY WERE 80!?! awesome

the other two pairs were 60.

so I only spent 200 bucks for three pairs of shoes - ah..all the ang bao..RED PACKET whatever - money is dissipating =D

AND i've got a mac, forgot to say that - tis quite le sex-ay

and belated gong xi fa cai - as today is the last day of CNY so yeah.

don't really understand how new year lasts like 1298 days

hope you've been going well,

shout out!

my GOODness, it has been a while since my last update.

what, with all the end of year hype,

Christ's birth, Grace Church Family Camp at Phillip Island Adventure resort, the birth of a new year, 2007, and Planetshakers, where each has been fulfilling and awesome fun.

Don't want to bore you too much, so heres what. I'll upload photos of whats been happening.

And I need to update my layout, I'm fairly bored of it, aren't you? zzz

anyway, photos will be up in 2 days =] catch!

(yes, i'm still alive =O)

OH MAN, and I'm looking at that video of pretzel..man, I gotta show him to you now. He's freaking massive.

2006-11-07T20:04:00.000+11:00

it has been decided.

It might have been because the name was appealing..it only came second in the poll.
OR
Because seriously, mum and dad were getting sick of him having no name.

He is called:

Finally =P after much deliberation.

Just like to inform you =]
THANK YOU! for being a part of his name..giving..and yeah, contributing to the poll! =] it was a great success

-spash

2006-11-06T23:06:00.000+11:00

by the way.

The name is kinda supposed to be both..
-Cute when he's young
YET
-When's he's older, its still retains some sort of ...manliness and balance, cute but not pansy?

Thats why Pretzel is like...sounds almost girly.

You sure, that 5 years down the track, we won't feel like fags going "Fudge! Come here!"

just something to ponder =] if you wanna change your vote
vote twice for the new name you want =]

Greetings from Carinya Haven (quick fact: thats the "name" of my house)

On the topic of names, I just got a new little brother on Saturday!

He doesn't actually HAVE a name yet.

Pic's of him:

and I've even youtube-ed him =D

ANYWAY!
We're in a massive predicament.
It started off with dad going:
"Howabout Kiddo?" and mum and I kinda just went =S ..no.

AND SO began the search for his name.

The favourites are :
Pretzel
Cody
Riley
Fudge
Sketch
Noah
Fritz
Ripley

the 2 people like it, one person doesn't ones are:
AJ
Silus

and the ones that only one person liked (namely mum) were:
Micro
Cyber
(like what the)
and dad liked:
Kiddo
Rusty
..I liked Jazz.

Theres also: Puddles, Fuddles, Sprite, Spritz, Rufus, Scooter...someone even mentioned Spoon =="

and yeah. Its been like that. With input from everyone, I like this, this isn't that good..I wanna find the name, the one everyone's satisfied with.

SO I need your help, whats a good name? There are so many...
Check the pup out, and either choose a name on the poll, or write another in the cbox =] (and select OTHER in the poll too)

and with that, I bid you adieu.

OH, and I found her - Jarah Mariano.

You may disagree about her awesome-tivity, but something about her blew me away. PHOO.
Oh. And she has credentials, she modelled for Victoria's Secret. Uhhuh, uhhuh ;-).

girls.

can't live with them, can't live without. SO, after the weekend and these few weeks of nothingness, bludging and stalling, begins the new "year" for us Haileybury-ans. Along with the year 12's moving out, and new year 12's moving in, come..thats right..something you never thought Haileybury would ever get. Girls.

Its proposterous! Ridiculous! Its like PLC being good at dancing, and yet, girls did move in...so maybe there is a chance for PLC, but it'll take them 150 years to realise how to do it.

So now, the school is freakin packed with women, entirely. Preps to year 12 now, and its hell. The quadrangle is no longer a barren, vast wasteland that nobody hangs around in. Its now a mosh pit where getting to the canteen takes half of lunch, buying your food another half and then by the time you're ready to play soccer or something, you're deep into period 6 and have to somehow get back to the class which you're already late for.

S'good, and ka hates me for it, but Spammy, Gracewee and m'dear Leng look...funny but, for some reason I cracked the hardest at my sister. Maybe cuz she's my sister, maybe cuz...she looked the funniest. =D

mm. It's chaotic, but interesting, and I can't wait to see what Haileybury's gonna settle down to, after the hustle and bustle and excitement of "GIRLS AT HAILEYBURY ZOMGOMGOMGOMG" dies down.

hello. yeah I'm gonna take Marcus up on that dare.

SO this post is to update my entire past..age. Last entry was in September..woah.

A lot has happened since I guess..ish.

I guess... First week of holidays was pretty unfulfilling. What did I do...I think it was pretty much geeky..as in..World Of Warcraft for the majority of the time. (In mornings at least). I slept over at Jon's and Marcus' I think. Yeah. I think two of four days I was doing sleepover and two I was doing WOW or .. I DON'T KNOW

OKAY. After much deliberation. I've no clue what that means, I'm tres tired. BUT we, as in, this one next to me, Kahil, Kaka or..BresciKAno. HARHAR WE'RE FUNNY. Um, decided that..Firstweek was nothing, cept' the lads slept at Marcs after a failed attempt at inviting a load of people to Glen. Then we went to Marc's, watched...a few movies..Scary Movie 4 (crap) and The..Ringer I think (c..rapish). Boys slept over, the only girls that rocked up that day were Jo and Leng.

We spent the night playing "Lego: Star Wars" on Juzzy's xBox 360. So..lame. And I sang to Zack. Mmm. Then we went to Knox on Friday to buy presents for people that we..hadn't bought presents for yet. I.e. Hazel (who was in May) and such. I had about 11 owing..and now only have..5 owing. GAH. Oh, we also "ran into" the Jo/Leng duo again, so ..yeah.

UHhhh..Three Words...I Am Gay.

Above is a product of Rebekah Wong's creativity. I applaud her for her extensive vocabulary and descriptive skills.

Kaka's ReBUTTTTTTTal:
Ashley is just upset because on Friday the 29th, I officially beat him in the Drivers Licence Test...He thinks he's so cool, but he's really not...What a loser...Yes, the Drivers Licence Test has a lot to do with english skills, so it only proves one thing, that my english is better than his...Anyway...I'll shut up now...

I wont' say too much in response to that. But the thing is, she did about 284719 typos and also spelt rebuttal wrong (rebuttle..hold it, is that right? oh rebutle..hmm). And who comes to me for english help? I rest my case. We'll carry this on another time sis.

Back to my life, cuz this is MY life story not hers, the weekend's preceedings went as per normal. Then onto the second week of school holidays (or for damned PLCers their third *shakes fist*)

Monday. Forgot. Tuesday, city with Leng. Wednesday SURPRISE PARTY FOR BLICK! RARRR! SO MANY PEOPLE! RARR.

7 people.

Yeah, she just got back, and we "didn't want to overload her" .. or, we were just tooooo conservative. Either way, it was good, thanks to ka/jon/david slash all .. okay those three, that organized and etc etc etc. It was good fun. And welcome back to her and spax and sarah and all those oversea-ers for this holidays. THURSDAY, Mark Ong's famed games night. Yeah. All I have to say is that Poisidoneionenzioeklaj. (i don't know, that show with that big ship) and Texas Chainsaw Massacre aren't the BEST movies. Slept over there and slept at 2.30..which wasn't good because I couldn't like..sleep well and ended up waking at like 5:30, so I did practice driving tests online from like 6 til .. whenever mum picked me up.

YEAH I sat for my driver's L's thingy. And ka beat me. But since, for that day, she was adopted (i.e. had no birth certificate, only a copy), I got it earlier than her. The plastic card that is. We both still passed at about the same time. 97% (her) and 88% (me).
i.e. 1 wrong for her, and 4 for me.

out of 32.

So yeah, she went well, she continues the family tradition of one or zero wrong (aaron aced it.)
Then we went to Chadstone and did all this stuff (mum, ka rufus me)
AARONS B'DAY PARTY. Like a year earlier. Or like..a month..or a few days or what. BUT STILL, I was mega tired with only 4 hours of sleep, so I had actually slowly caught up during the day in the car, whilst walking etc. It was good, and yes, t'was good. Happy Birthday A-Tron.

Saturday was Saturday. And Sunday was Sunday. And Monday we started school again. And Tuesday and Wednesday we had off, so I went on a date with Jon to Glen and then met with Lex after and then Glenny people and yeah. AND YES. It brings us to today. I wonder if you've read this far. If you have, shoutout in my shoutout box this secret password:

popsicle-ism.

and you might win a secret prize or something. Anyway, I'm gonna go, I'll update if theres more I need to say. But for now, farewell =] Thanks for reading, this uberuberuberuberuber long entry.

below is a product of victoria lim's creativity. She's not too bad, I'll give her that.
Changing my name of the blog to "I crave beer" and putting a random story in. Actually that's Vicky's english story, and I don't think it will work for her if shes aiming for A+ at the end of the year.

SO! It has been a while though. I guess the most exciting things that have happened lately are as follows.

Last week:
Exam: Monday - Thursday <= Die
United Live @citylife church on Friday.

okok, the story is like this.
If you've never heard of United, they are the youth band of the Hillsong Church in Sydney. They've done 7 albums so far, and the songs are really great praise and worship to God. SO it was only natural that us Grace Churchians, who do a lot of Hillsong/United songs go see them. So we did.

Now at a christian worship msuic night, the structure of the service, whether is be at Planetshakers or Hillsong is usually lively fun music, then toning down/slower more reflective music, then sit down and greet, offering and giving out free stuff, then message then end on more music.

There was more space cleared out for a massive mo..not mosh..worship pit, so most people were standing.

At the start of the night, was an icebreaker, involving pogo stick challenges, which our very own Jesse Wong got to the finals! But lost and won a...video -.-"

Then, later on, giving out free stuff, after some awesome music, United gave out like...a CD and a couple of shirts, its all promotional really. They just threw the stuff one side and another side and some lucky person gets the merchandise. But us mosh people were all sitting on the floor, and if people wanted the things they're like raise their hands and make noise. There was also some funky United bandanas, which only the drummer, Dave, seemed to be wearing. Something along the lines of "any drummers out there" came up. I decided, what the heck, I've never gotten free stuff before =P

So I stood and was like going nuts.

"You're a drummer?"
I nodded
"Come on up"
I went up.
"What's your name?"
Ashley
"And you're from?"
Grace Church of Christ
"And you can drum?"
Yep.
"well you'd better show us"

at that very moment, everything became bliss. MY DREAM has been to drum with United. Its like...when you're in the shower pretending you're on the final of Australian Idol or something, for me I think drums with United. (or planetshakers...I guess =D)
Jumped up, (the drums were on a raised platform. Dave got off the drums, we shook and he goes "here's a fresh pair of sticks" and then asked me what song I wanted.
DUDE! At that moment I didn't care, I was going to drum...with United Live.
"Nah you choose"
"nono man, you choose a song"
so I chose "Take it All"

He yelled to the bass guitarist, "TAKE IT ALL" and then the guitarist shook my hand and was like, "You count in"

I COUNT IN? YOU'll follow ME? OMGOSH I can't believe this.
"You serious?"
"yeah"
so I counted in.

I know it wasn't long lasting..my like..30 seconds of fame. But even so, I remember screams, flashing lights and music...damn adrenaline..I honestly forgot what happened during, only remember..well..purple flashing lights I think. And it was dark =P

But yeah. I ...got to drum with them.

Friday had been such a shat day, I was doing a video at school all day for Sunday and it ended up stuffing up (and I was late for United) and I was really paying out God and saying that it's within His power to just speed the friggin Mac "up but NOOO you won't, and the video is for YOU God, yet you won't help."

And I did mention the whole. "Why is life unfair?" Thing.

It is fair though...He really balanced it out Friday night...and in hindsight, He just wants me to develop patience and trust...I have to commit more to Him, because I actually never prayed or anything about the video, just did it within my own power.

So yeah...awesome Friday. Saturday was redoing the entire video, waking at 7:00, eating macoroni and soup for breaky and a coffee and getting straight into it at 7:30. I finished the video at about 5:30, with worship practice as a break (from 3-5), and showed Brenda n' Jenn. They looked reasonably happy. I was still overjoyed about drumming...for United.

SO everything was great Saturday, the video problem was solved (and actually looked better than the one on the Mac), I had drummed (and I quote Steph Ling, "ur gona b dancing abt that 4eva aren't u"), there was dance practice and we had small group after that. Saturday rocked.

Sunday was the celebration service, we had another dance praccy at 8:30, then I had worship practice and then the actual church thingy started at 11 (to end at 1).

The 40 days of purpose is over! The video was shown, we did the dance, and so much has been lifted off everyone's backs! Plus, the church is probably ready to embrace change, because you can't grow unless you change. So, that night I finished off my last chapter of the 40 Days book and slept well.

MONDAY! The four boys (minus marcus and mark), i.e. Jon and I, wanted to go buy stuff and eat a GOOD lunch. We went to Grill'd and ate a Mighty Melbourne each. And right now I crave. Cuz they're friggin awesome. HUGE and tasty and ..mighty. It was great, and very fufilling. Then went to look around for a webcam, and thennnn...went to Myer and ended up talking to Nicole Tan for like half an hour about...everything. Went up stairs, played a bit of games and watched Nemo, then back down and Nicole had a 20 min break so we walked around more and then sat down for a coffee at Cafe Otto and talked more =]

After Nic went back to work, Jon n' me went to buy the webcam/s and then went off to his house to chill, play guitar, watch him play WOW and..muck with Chip and then go home.

WOW-ed all night til 4. GEEKY, damnit its addictive.

AND NOW I sit here, just..reading..and typing and reminicsciscnsinscnigning
it was a good weekend, and an awesome start to the holidays, even thought today was wasted =P

Talk to you later and take care =]

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY FATHERS OF THE WORLD!

AND. Yes.

Today, knowingly, my mother woke up at like 4 and picked up Ruth and Rebekah and went to a certain place to buy a certain number of a certain delicacy that certainly pleased the dads of the church today. To be exact, 29 boxes worth of these delicacies (as grace said, 79..meaning there would have been like...individually, 948 of these delicacies. Yeah, nice grace =P).
Of course, only 25 were going to the fathers..the remaining four were for personal consumption.

I woke up at 5 and helped them out when they got home (at 5) and we did all the father's day gift bags. After that, had worship practice and yeah...been up ever since. (BEE TEE DOUBLE-YEW: i slept at 1:30 last night. So I'm damn tired now).

After church, everyone..that is..okayokay
Mark, Marcus, Jon, Alex, JASON, Jesse, Sam H, Geoff (Jeff? Dunno), Jeremy, Ian, Ruth, Rebekah, Jo, Julia, Gabby, Beny, Aaron, Amelia, Brenda...And then later Faith and Grace.

All came to my house to celebrate Jason's b'day =] Had like..a billion pies, and KFC Hot n' Spice-ay-ay-ay chick-eiiiin. (cow and chick-eiiiin)

Anyway. TODAY was a big day for many of the girls, because they had their dance to the song Unwritten by Natalie Beddingfield. Whilst they did their mix of..er, forgot what Julia called it, but ballet and something, Ka and Ruth painted a seemingly empty canvas. Then, after the music finished (they still hadn't peeled off everything) but, after an awkward silence, and peeeling, the painted red canvas ended up having the word "SERVE" on it. It was GREAT! Took Ka a while to organize so, awesome stuff sis.

Ah. after church, us "hip-hop" dancers for a performance coming up on the celebration day had a practice from 2-5. Thanks for being patient with us my godbrother, Beny.

And yeah, then after it was over, got home and Osacar was there! (next door neighbours orange, beautiful cat. Fairly young too, so full of energy) So Lex, Ka, Jay and I tried to make friends with him =] Cool as cat, though, short attention span and wanders off/scampers off somewhere else =P

Dinner and Ka's and Ka and me ended up sleeping on Rufus' bed. I was at the bottom in the most uncomfortable position.

ALRIGHT, now I"m home. Gonna sleep.

PICTURES. speak a thousand words..PAINT a thousand words sorry. Or more.
Say .. 1002
nights!

Surprises.

For me, I'm never one to be that surprised, I'm always analysing stuff, and even if something happens that kinda like, new, its never shocking or surprising. I always like to be in the know-how and know-when and whats-going-on-ness.

I guess to give some background, Julia had told me on Saturday (Aunty Nancy's funeral. Rest In Peace) that Gabriel told her everyone was going to my house after church. I thought it was kinda like...you know how people just rock up cuz we have Apex that night or whatever. Just coz my house is convinient really =P.

So today, I wake up and Ruth is at my house...I was totally oblivious to the reasonn. Go to church, and proceed with the normalities. I had a lunch on this afternoon with Aunty Mabel and Uncle Sherman (as my parents told me last week). Jason gave me a b'day present (a CK watch?!?!?! zomgosh) and it was huge, but his rents, when they come pick him up tonight will fix it. Thought they were having dinner or he was mistaken or something.

Unc Sherman and Aunty Mabel...well..
THEY were the ones that came from S'pore last time (ages ago) and actually bought me a PS2, (back when they were like 500 bucks) SO I had to meet them, no matter what cuz like there was some major R-E-S-T-E-C-P for them. *restecp, I know. Watch Ali G*

OH, Grace sang like awesoome-ly today, None But Jesus (United Live) during holy communion, so kudos for that gracie =]

SO letsee, Marcus wanted some people to go over and watch V for Vendetta (DVD), I couldn't I had my lunch. Julia and Gabriel were going to buy people's presents at the glen, but yet again, I couldn't come. Sarah, Haze and Blick were going with Julia and Gabriel. Jo went off with Grace and Faith to have lunch at Grace's house (and drop Jay off at the Glen to meet his "gangster" friends). SO everyone was doing different stuff. Ka had to stay behind to help James with the canvas thingy-ma-bobby for church and yet, everyone was doing their own thing(s?).

After dance practice I went to Knox with dad to pick up sushi, and we ate some Churros at the new Churro store behind Boost. Then we went back home to pick mum up to go meet up with Uncle Sherman and Aunty Mabel.

I get home, go pee in the common bathroom, go upstairs, put my stuff down and see Blick's bag on my table. Was gonna bring it down but yeah, left it. And then Jon's bag was on the guest room bed I saw it as I ran downstairs thinking "YES! Jon and Blick are here, coolies"

SO I run down saying "JONNN AND BLICCKKKK!"
and open the door. I see Ka, Mum, Aunty Grace at the kitchen doing stuff. Realise the table's are set up, and then first person I see is jo..and a mass of others hiding under a table to my right.

It clicked.

SURPRISE!
And I didn't know what to do. I kinda freaked out. So I ran to the sliding door and opened it and breathed.

I HAD NO IDEA. And then out came the food, the fond..found..fondueurueasofuan ...(melted chocolate) fountain was set up with marshmellows and fruits and chicken was being put on the table, along with the just bought sushi and out came:
Jon
Marc
Mark
Jay
Lex
Ruth
Vicky
Faith
Grace
Leng
Jo
Sammy
Julia
Gabriel
Sarah
Hazel
Blick

and we all started eating. WHAT A SURPRISE. Far out. I'm still here, at like..9:00 not knowing how it happened...and I'm still kinda shocked.

I was thinking it was gonna be a relaxing lunch then go work all afternoon.

More surprises =P

I didn't expect Leng to be there, that was cool. OH MAN, my "birthday cake" was a box of Krispy Kremes..and then more were brought out. TO THINK, my first entire Krispy Kreme on my b'day celebration. I got SUPERMAN BOXERS WOOO! Now I feel super..and like..a man *yes*. Thanx Jo and Leng =]

So this afternoon its been like..eateateat, talktalktalk, Pictionary charades, eat, guitar, talk more, generally be a bit hypo (after all the chocolate and KK's), playing 2 games of sardines, then "moving it to the park" but actually just mucking around, talking, playing, "off ground tiggy" (which didn't work) and yeah.

I had an awesome time guys, thanks so much ><

Shout outs to Rufus for organizing so much (and for waking up at like 4:55 to go pick up KK's early in the morning with Mum) and to Mum for also hatching and patching and despatching the idea without a hitch. AND of course to all of you that rocked up, because without you guys
a) my life would kinda suck
b) there would have been on one to yell out surprise...

except..
mum
and dad

and uncle luke and aunty grace..

but yeah. I was talking about it to Rufus and Ka and its like..when you know about a party, you have the anticipation and all. I never felt that. So now I'm feeling it. I can't wait til' its gone and the warm good feeling comes in, that I had an awesome time.

a HUGE thank you to you all again. Best birthday in a while =]

-spash

gabby and julia gave me an awesome pink shirt
sarah and co. gave me a Me To You bear on a swing AND my two necklaces which I haven't seen since...Queensland last year.
Rufus has given me "part 1" of my present, a friendship band. I'll take the party as part 2 =]
and the rest of all you all suck.

NAH, you guys rock my world for just being my friends =D thank you SO much.

okay..I can't really thank you enough, but I'll stop now because..yeah. SO that was my day. OH
I had dinner at Rufus/Ka's and we watched more scrubs. =D

2006-08-20T23:30:00.000+10:00

SUNDAY! Wow, damn sleepy...woke up with Marcus to go to worship practice. Gracie was there as was Rache and the other older members of the team. OH and Suj and..Sookie =]

Haha, it was a longer than normal service because...well, lets just say some leaders of the musical segment of the church service enjoy giving scatters of mini messages..

And we had a dedication to Aunty Nancy and her passing. All the best for Uncle George and family too.

Anyway, so we had like..the news and announcements and I realised I needed to pee mega badly. But I stayed on. I COULD have gone but didn't. Stupid me. We had three more SLOW songs to do and for the last song I couldn't take it. I was in pain literally, and about to actually pee my pants. I was squirming and not concentrating on my drumming at all. So I made the song end early (unnoticable though) and as it ended I sprinted off stage and did my business.

Then Gracie and me were at the back and ... kinda zoned out from the message. Naughty naughty.

Reminder: we're all still on the famine..cept Jo and Mark cuz they started at different times. Leng and Mikey came to church today, don't know about Mikey, but t'was Leng's first time. Hope you guys enjoyed it! =]

Had dance rehearsal at "1", so stayed at church and we all went to KFC at 12:00. My famine ended at 1. So I watched EVERYONE eat their hearts out and then say they felt sick. I didn't get it, I was so darn hungry. We did a countdown and then at 1:00 I began my 2 potato and gravy's, regular chips, mountain dew, 3 wicked wings and 6 pieces of chicken.

I finished the P&G's, chips, mountain dew and wicked wings and had 3 pieces of chicken left -.-"

Kinda like, halfway through the meal, I realised the potato and gravy was shining with the oil, the chicken oozed oil (and juice..but I assumed all oil) and the skin started tasting like...yuck. I felt like oil was pumping through my veins more than blood.

SO now I'm full and sick of KFC for a while. Yuck man. But I can still eat it...I mean like we had dance rehearsal and I ate at like 3, the chips and stuff.

WOW. Gabby and Julia gave me a YD pink shirt (I said I needed one..next thing you know, they bought it). Gabby made a cookie card, like..literally a cookie..with Happy Birthday Ash love Gab

THAT was cool. So thanks you two. Mische (my dearest Godsister who also shouted me lunch) gave me a cool Suburban soccer top and a little soccer keychain, Sarah Yong gave me a trilogy of "Fire Of Heaven". Sounds cool and yeah, its got a really interesting storyline methinks. Rufus has given me "part 1" (they always give in parts those Wong's), which was a friendship bracelet (YES! I have friends), what else...I guess no one's had time to go shopping. I still owe:
Hazel - in May
Gabby - in July
Mum - in July
Jesse - August
Nikki - August.

GAH I'm horrible =P

So yeah, it's good. ANYWAY I think that was my day. The dance was so damn tiring though...so I gotta go now, do my 40 Days study (catch up on friday and yesterday) AND..sleep. SO YEAH..take care this week. YES you, and I hope you have an enjoyable time.

SMILE =] even when no one's looking.

SO, I planned for today to be like a ..going out day..but

YEAH...read before, there are a heap of people that couldn't come. Ended up being me and Leng and Julia and Gabriel and we bussed from Glen to Knox to enjoy the 8 hour sale. Got dad a new fragrance (CK Be - 25 bucks man) for father's day.
SO YEAH. spent the day with those 3 and had a lot of fun. Thanks for the 'chillout' day guys =P no celebration for birthdays. NEXT WEEk will be a celebration for Jesse, Jon and moi =D

UM. Had worship practice...then marcus came back and jon and mark eventually rocked up and we just..did our thing. I shan't say anymore but yeah...it was a pretty ordinary night.

AND THATS IT. Slept at 2 and in the weirdest positions. Marcus on the couch (sitting position) and me too..mark and jon at our feet =P All in sleeping bags. I moved back to my room and ditched them at 5 or something.

this day is spinning out of control. *sigh*

Well, yes, on this day, 16 years ago, I was born. Joy.

UM. Yeah, started out fine..was damn tired cuz I slept at 2:00 doing homework. Got through the day with a lot of manly love =] and hugs and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY's, and no one seemed to want to do the whole birthday bash thing. Cool. =D

Was damn tired in english (after lunch) so for last period (science with the worst teacher in theh school) I went off to my music lesson, and hung with Steve, Royce and Aaron i.e. Drums and Guitar.

Went home. Got ready. Ate my last meal. BANG 40 hour famine started at 7. I got to church at 7:45 to discover most girls there (they had dance practice before) and people mingling before small group Bible study began. Big turn out! It was great! Jo brought Jemma/Gemma and Leng along as well and there were a few other new/reasonably new faces! Had a great icebreaker which made everyone sit in a circle and then people of certain characteristics (e.g. anyone wearing...RED) has to move a certain amount of seats one way. And people ended up on top of one another and everything, so was a great icebreaker.

Today's message from Rick Warren was on worship and how we could worship God with almost everything we do. Was gooooood =] AND YOU Leng seemed to enjoy the night, which I am glad. So it was a great night to catch up with the people we hadn't seen in a week. Marcus was off with Ka at the MHS formal, so Tim took Jon, Lex and I for class today, and it was funny and fun, really enjoyed it.

Supposed to do something on Saturday, Mark was supposed to help, but I didn't really tell him much. My fault. I found that:
- Blick can't go - technological/electrical famine (but she really wanted to go!)
- Faith and Grace can't go (question mark. not sure, but Grace has worship praccy at 3)
- Marcus can't. Chinese school and he'll need to rest and do homework.
- Rebekah's got a game of v.ball or something. Or maybe she can go. But she's got a jarred finger.
- Jon can't/won't/doesn't want to go tomorrow (not sure, ask him)
- Vicky can't go cuz she has some school thing..but thats understandableish
- Julia can go, but either 10 (if she skips ballet) or she'll go at 12
- Gabby has an outreach meeting...can't go until after 12

I guess the last two are alright...those people can rock up, along with like..mebbe Sarah, Haze, Mark, Leng, Jo, Alex, Karvin...I guess a few people.

SO I told Mark before, meet at say..1? Then'll we'll hang for the afternoon and whoever rocks up does.

Ka calls me. "I just talked to David (it's 11:35.) and he can't play tomorrow"

Ah well, disappointment seeps into my vains. If she plays tomorrow there's gonna be extreeeme pain for her on Sat and Sunday, so what else can I do but play? =P So, plans have changed. And now I don't know whether to still put it on...or call it off. Meet earlier...say 10:00? and chill for a few hours then go? Sounds like a plan I guess. I'm stuck now, not sure what to do. Music praccy is at 3, so I'll have until 3 to do something with my day. Then Marc/Mark/Jon will come over for a sleepover.

OH yeah, Rufus and Blick were at my house just now, waiting for parentals to come and pick them so got to chill and talk and stuff. Was fun fun.

SO YEAH. I'm bloody starving right now.. Last tme I ate was like..5 hours ago. Wow I'm gonna die =P

I'll catch you later, take care and yes.

But I do want to decorate my wall with photos...So I'll see how it works out.

Meh. I'll see how my plan of writing ASHLEY'S BIRTHDAY in everyone's diary goes tomorrow =D.

Word of the Day for Wednesday August 2, 2006

supercilious \soo-puhr-SIL-ee-uhs\, adjective:
Disdainfully arrogant; haughty.

GREAT. If only I knew what disdainfully meant..and haughty..
I swear I've heard them in Romeo and Juliet or something..disdaining fortune..

let me see...

Disdainfully (adv/adj)
adv 1: in a proud and domineering manner;
2: without respect; in a disdainful manner

RIGHT okay, so its like...being a fag. Supercilious sounds like a good word...

ANYWAY, I feel really overloaded. Or maybe its just me.
One of the things I can't take is exclusion..but that doesn't apply now. I can't take losing things, it annoys the crap out of me SO badly. I lost my 50 dollar iTrip (Attatch it to the top of your iPod, tune the radio into the particular station and "voila!" you have music from the iPod to the radio.) and then i've lost both my $30 dollar rings, one with Jesus' Cross and another with the Trinity and each time this gut feeling hits and sticks and absolutely makes me want to....disdainfully kick someones ass.

SO now I've lost the school library book, Tom Clancy's: Net Force. In most cases I wouldn't care, but the fact that I've read 20 or so of its 300 pages, have lost it, so I have NO clue whats gonna happen to the ... well I don't even know the main character because the guy we're first introduced to got killed in the second chapter =.=" YEAH.

Oh, one more thing. Its Wednesday, I haven't got the book, its 300 pages long...and I HAVE TO DO A DAMN ORAL ON IT ON FRIDAY.
You say "borrow another book", but borrowing another book doesn't stop me from having this sickening gut feeling that I'VE LOST SOMETHING.

Okay. Thats not out of my system but I'm moving on for your sake.

Wednesday..I just arrived home from tuition. Easy stuff, so its .. not too tough. UM.

Monday, soccer training after a JOYOUS day at school.

HAHA there we are, I'll go back even further.

Friday night, I stayed at Jon's (after small group) with Lex. Then had Saturday sport and we lost "2-72" as I told my mother when she called me from WARNUM..WARNAM..BOOL. (Yeah that place). It was 1-3 =.=". Ah well. Then after sport I was dropped at the Ruth/Aaron/Rebekah/Grace/Luke Wong's (note: dad and mum are actually in warnaeoigbwegbool for the weekend) and then yeah..bummed for the day, watched tv, Blick came over at night, drank bailey's and smirnoff (heh. my alcohol resistance sucks balls) then slept at like...donno when. Had church the next day (Sunday)

FIRST DAY OF THE 40 DAYS OF PURPOSE! I was drumming, that was pretty good, praising God and all. Then after the bit-longer-than-usual service, went to glen with a whole lot of churchies. NO WAIT. It was knox. To watch Lake House and celebrate Gabby's b'day (btw, Happy Birthday Gabby).

MONDAY. (I slept over again) Went to SCHOOL. Mum n' Dad got back. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM AND GABBY. yeah. they're both on July 31st, how cool. Then eventually got home after soccer training.

Move down 3 days and you've got me on Wednesday where I'm feeling crap, lots-o'-methods, lots-o'-accounting, lots-o'-englishoral, lots-o'-accounting"test". Bah. I want to rest, but I need to find this book. Bah.

HAH. interesting thing, swapped ties with Vicky on Monday and would trade back whenever one of us got into trouble. She got the 'evil eye' apparently..and everyone was asking why she had a senior tie. Reverse that, everyone asked me why I had a year 12 tie. Then on closer inspection, why do you have a GIRLS tie. =P Swapped it back today =P And got to eat her "lovely" butter cookies.

AND THATS IT.

for now, so I feel better, gonna go find the book. Pray for me? Please? thanks.

MAN, now I have no earphones! This is so gay.
So, the free headphones given to me last year by Ben White, both broke =P Then I used these old Casio ones I've had since like..birth..and both sets broke, and now I'm stuck with just an iPod =D That kinda sucks.

ON THE GOOD SIDE THOUGH - my doorknob was broken for an age..forgot by who...I think some churchies...I seem to think Alex and Ka were there. DAD fixed it *legend* and yeah.

AND..maths test last last week we had or was it last...UM
BUT the SAC I got like ...19/20 and like 15/16 and all that..soo cool. 1 Mark off WOOT! And the test I was one mark off ace-ing it. OMGOSH thats SO cool. So happy =P

And tuition, although I was mega moody and an absolute hobo to dad before it, was reasonably good too. SO TODAY was a good day =)

and I discovered new paintshop techniques =P woot
ANYWAY take care, thats today's blog!

Today's Daily Bread I found really applicable, homework and my spiritual life and all, I haven't been very disciplined. It's more than a coincidence I can say...

Cupcake Self-Discipline

READ: Titus 1:1-9

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls. —Proverbs 25:28

An old adage says: “Next time you want a cupcake, eat a carrot.” The saying is good advice for dieters, but those who framed it may have had all of us in mind. By disciplining our desires when no moral principle is at stake, we prepare ourselves for those moments when we face a temptation to sin.

This kind of discipline is what Paul referred to when he used the term self-controlled in his list of qualifications for church leadership (Titus 1:8). We need this reminder today. Many people think they can live immorally now and suddenly stop when they want to. Because they do not consider the addictive power of sin, they find that living up to their good intentions is far more difficult than they had anticipated.

Proverbs 25:28 tells us that if we lack self-control we are as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls. Consistent self-discipline will build up our spiritual defense system against the forces of evil.

When we discipline ourselves to keep our ordinary desires under control, we make a habit of virtuous living and practice the reality of Paul’s words in Romans 6:18, “Having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.” —Herbert Vander Lugt

2006-07-24T22:19:00.000+10:00

Word of the Day

limn \LIM\, transitive verb:
1. To depict by drawing or painting.
2. To portray in words; to describe.

Well here I am, a new week , ready to limn (eh? eh!!? cool) today's events and the happenings of the weekend.

Then 40 Days of Purpose practice, I'm drumming for the launch and James is really really like...easy. We ran through it once and he was happy (but other people weren't so again we did =P) but YEAH. Then Saturday night had dinner at the Grand Hyatt. Mmm.

6th - Gracie's Fifteenth

11th - Sarah's Umpteenth (hee =D)

Saturday - Apex - crazy awesome and I love worshipping God with the drums. The team did brilliantly and moreso, the Holy Spirit worked through each and every one of the team, and Clem had an awesome message about how when we go astray, God's call is still the same, "Come back, I love you"

YEAH, if you read Jon's Blog he mentioned the new trees etc and yeah..cool landscaping done by uncle T.L and constructed by many. LOOKS GOOD. so check it out.

2006-07-15T22:06:00.000+10:00

today's aim:
Make someone smile whilst reading this.
COOLIES. So I COULD be bothered to write stuff about like...the past how long.
I'll blog about Kurrawang next, so that its a seperate thangy.

My babies lost yeah =P mm. Italy won the World Cup. Asses. Penalties. Um, then that Monday I actually got to sleep in, and got to school at about 10:00.
First week of school has been pretty routine, I miss Kurrawang and holidays. STRESS. Had 3 part SAC over 3 days. Open book first 2 and test conditions with cheat sheet for the Friday one. I studied my ass off and then the Friday on was dead easy. And then I had a science test, which I hardly studied for. Psh. Nothing really interesting this week. Rocked up to soccer training Monday and 5 people turned up.
Couldn't play soccer today because of "religious commitments". As my note said: "Church Mission Debrief".
Friday we went to church to watch these American people (most of them Asians though) from San Francisco sing and perform for God and it was great! Their voices blended so well and it sounded like a recording. They're called Cornerstone Singers if you're interested. If not. Go die. KIDDING.

Not.

Um, then after we went to Blick's (the Kurrawang mission people) for the "mission debrief'. 11-12 was this Bible study where everyone really seemed like they cbb. Then it was party time. Woo. What like, eating non-stop, talking talking, "exclusive conversations", questions and finding out the love lives of others, building a cubby house which turned into a jumping castle, tickle tortures and 'initiation slapping'. Man it was crazy. Soon everyone had settled down, the couples with each other and friends strengthening they're friendships with each other. Groups of 2 and 2 and 3 and 2 and like 6 and then 2 or something.
Me n' Jenn caught up, never had a d&m with her before, let alone, one that lasts from 4am -7am waiting for the sun to rise and transferring from the warm house to beautiful, cold, wet, garden gazebo outside at 5:30 to wait for the sun to rise. And then to be let down by the clouds and having no clue where the sun actually rose, it just became bright. But YEAH, Jenn, you are one coooool chick, damn interesting to talk to.

Now, YOU won't find this funny, but like...its hard to explain, but I had a quick dream like a second of like..something to do with Lost and Survivor, "more Lost" I had said before I mumbled crap and was like "mmrmmrr ..WOAH DID I JUST SLEEP". That all happened in five seconds. But what I had done was close my eyes to remember that little dream I had and began mumbling crap then realised I was sleeping and freaked out. Cracked up about it, I'll act it out for you if you ask me.

SO YEAH, thats been the eventful week or so. Oh, yeah I didn't sleep. I tried to when we got back into the house at 7:30, but people were already waking up and being homo's =P So once I got home (12:30 or summink) I slept for like 4 hours. And now I'm here, chatting to my little sister, trying to blog clearly without mumbling crap and I'm speaking everything I'm typing right now. Oh and I have accounting work to do as well. Crap. But yeah, SUNDAY TOMORROW, Weekend's over (darn) and APEX, I'm drumming, I'm gonna be wiped. Gay.

Ah well, take care and have a good Sunday.

2006-07-06T21:37:00.000+10:00

hey..
Monday - went to Glen at 2:30 with Lex (supposed to meet with Jon) and I got Julia to come too =]. Then saw Gracie and Faith for a bit, gave Grace her jacket that she left at my house on Sunday and Faith stole my Country Road navyblue bag...they left...UMM, then we waited...and waited...for Jo to finish her sports meetang...THEN Jo and Leng came with us and we went to food court (FC Yo') and sat there for a while, eating. I..er..put a wicked wing feather...sucked by lex into my ear, nose and then ate it. Joy. And Leng and Jo decided to try on our glasses, getting blinder by the second everytime my glasses were on. OOH and Leng's a glasses one too.

Tuesday - forgot what happened. It was that boring.

Wednesday - met up with Lex...at 10:30. I was at the Glenny library at 10..and waited half an hour for him. Then literally, studied my ass off from 10:30 - 2:30. No lunch break. Alex had a nap time, and we talked a bit I guess, but still, I got heaps of methods and accounting done. WOOPY. So, quite happy. Then, went to Glenny at 2:45..schools not over yet. Saw Ivanananan, then saw Jo for like, 2 seconds who just got back from foot-ay. Then Leng, Grace, Zhoe...then..what. Oh, Leng somehow disappeared from the walk with Grace, Faith and Lex when we were walking to the Glen. (I just found out, it wa slike "Hey? Wheres Leng?" and she was like "Hey? No Ash, Grace, Faith or Alex - I'VE BEEN DITCHED") So yeah, Gracie bought jeans, OOH we saw Jay-son, back from Thailand wearing 100%, less than real Bape stuff. And new Adicolours in his bag (Mr. Happy! Finally). Aunty Lilia kindly invited Lex and moi over and we ended up dining there too =P Thanks a lot Aunty L. WOOPY. And that was Wednesday.

TODAY - FRANCE BEAT PORTUGAOGINBWOGIBW. YES! Penalty. How lame. Ooh, and a big shoutout to grace

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY!

yeah so now I'm pretty much bumming. Woke up at what..12:30, had to "work". Didn't go Glen to say happy birthday and mingle, just worked. Ah well, tomorrow Myers and Smith Street shopping. YES. Myer's never to be repeated History Making clearance. I crave Myer. (not Myers as I was kindly corrected one day.)

AND THATS IT. So yes, alright day today, bummed. Like Tuesday. I'll be with Jon and Lex again tmrw, so that'll be goot. um, for now. Just..be cool. Safe. Sound. Happy. Joyful and SMOILE. OH and J-walk tomorrow. =]

WOAH. I must've been so tired. PHOO! So it's like this see.
After all that yesterday, and getting back so early in the morning, I had to combine a heap of photos together...for a 9 minute presentation? I ended up sleeping at 5..and had to wake up at 8:50 and rushed man. When the presentation was on, I had to keep pausing and unpausing because the testimonials took a lot longer than expected and...yeah..my presentation was only 9 minutes long, we took 15 minutes. So the testimonies finished then I left the remaining 4 and a half minutes to play, whilst we got ready and presented the Angel's Cry Holy item. Ended up going well. Then a lot of us went to eat Pho at Bayswater, then to my house. Faith, Grace, Ka, Sammy, Vicky, Alex, Jon all came, and then left at their own times. It ended up with Jon and Alex and I decided to go sleep whilst they did their things. That was at 5 ish. Alex and Jon woke me up each when they were going. But I slept literally from 5pm Sunday til' 9:50am Today (Monday).

17 HOURS OF SLEEP

You probably know I sleep like heapppps, like after school and whenever I can, but 17 is a new record for me. Woah. Anyway, now to do what I have to do today, homework and such.

2006-06-23T20:13:00.000+10:00

WOOOOOOOOO!! Work experience is OVER!
And as the name says, it was, an experience.

I guess the experience of waking everyday at 6:30-7:00..and knowing its a school holiday, and having to get changed and ready to get to Uncle Mark's house by 7:25 so he can ferry us both off to work. The days I didn't have to wake up so early, were the days where I caught the train in the morning. Ahhh..so I get to the station at about 7:45 and get to the city at about 8:45. Stupid morning trains. So that was an experience, as well as ending work at 5 and getting home by 6. Monday and Tuesday getting home at 7. Thanks toooo Uncle Daniel, Uncle Mark and Uncle Tiow Lam for the opportunity to work at AMI Ed, and Heather for being my supervisor...and all the people there (although I doubt you'll ever read this) and...yeah was alright. Filling is so repetitive though, I swear. Tedious and time consuming.

ANYWAY, So yesterday I got off early, at 3, so I could get to the doctor's by 5 =P. Took THAT long. AND TODAY I was allowed off at 12:00! Cuz, I'm actually getting sick. From dad and mum. The stuff Uncle Kuang gave to me on Thursday, is what everyone else in my family (mum and dad) are taking =P So now we're all on drugs. I was afraid of being sick before and during mission and being crapped up all week. But with a bit of earnest, consistent prayer, God's healing hand...and on the side, some Lemsip and the antibiotics, the cold I think has gone through its worst phase. SWEET.

I think what also helped was getting off early today, yeah, so met up with Jolinks and Spleng and went for lunch at some "shady" corner in Ching-town. Which we searched every alley...and ended back at the first one and found it. Had dumplings, quite cheap! And nice too. Connections Leng =) And throughout the day we were just roaming looking through shops, clothes..etc. Marvelling but not purchasing =P

Then walked around, got Boost and stuff, then went back to Glen, bummed a bit more then went home. Good use of like 5 hours. Oh then for like the second time ever, met Eu Yane and took the bus back to knox with him =P Freaky. So YEAH today was good good! Laughs and stuff.

SO Today was good, and I'm excited about going to Kurrawang, sooo, although tired, I need to pack. Sadly. Laters! Take care this next week!

last night tammie was really playing up..passing blood (OKAY SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT PASSING MEANS, THINK OF PASSING WIND...THANK YOU!), and peeing uncontrollably (they call that..incontinence). SO she was in pain, and flinched when you touched the left of her body. If she didn't survive the night, we'd have to put her down on Wednesday (today).

She survived, so at 7, before I left to go to work, I spent my last five minues with her. *sigh* Had work today, filing all day. She was put down in the afternoon sometime.

Tired as, and I think I'm a tad sick, so I best be going to sleep. I took a Dimetap too..with antihistimine so I think I'll get groggy anyway.

WOW almost a week since I last blogged..I'm almost forgetting about this thing =P I need a new theme too..hmm.
WELL, the last week of school was alright. I dreaded Friday, but it ended up being really good!
I dreaded it because:
- English Oral was due ... hadn't done it
- Methods work to do. Hadn't done it.
- Didn't understand methods =P

Ended up being good because my oral went alright and in methods, after helping me..there was another class "party". I.e. food drinks and no work. Sweet.
Had sport from lunch til' end of day...and sport for me (volleyball team came SECOND) ended at 3:00 so yeah..awesome.

Saturday, Mission Training and Marcus and Jon rocked up to stay over, but...Mark, without call or anything (I told Aunty Jackie otherwise =P) didn't rock up. Too busy getting "drunk on coke with Hazel and Sarah". Psh. We were GOING to watch Tokyo Drift...but it didn't download in time. Slept at 2 something. Bummed all night really =P

Sunday, finished downloading part 1 of Tokyo Drift, so began part 2, to be ready by the time we got back from church. The usual ritual of everyone coming back to my house before Apex was somewhat altered...temporarily. We went to knox for lunch then all split up. I went with Marcus, Grace and Jon to look for track pants for Grace...and ended up looking at fragrances with Jon and Marcus too. oh.

CHARLES IS BACK!

too bad I'm practically booked up for this week. Gah. More of that later. Sunday, had Apex and for the first time. No Apex News?! I didn't have the time. Gah. ah well, I drummed so I was pretty tired. I slept at.
9:30
...nine
if you didn't catch that. WOW. Then woke up at 3:00 like halfway through the Brazil vs Aus match to see the Brazillians score 2 goals against Australia and Australia dirty it out again...with no goals =P

Ah well. The woke up at 6 something TODAY. MONDAY. To get ready for work ex down at Uncle Daniel's school in the city. Woke up, did what I needed to do, got to Uncle Mark's...ferried to the school and worked all day.
1st job - absentee forms. Gotta fill it out on the intranet for the school. Net is slow ><>

2nd Job - FILING! The legendary joyous job of getting sheets and sorting them into files. No more explanation needed.

Had lunch ... after the 3 hours of filing. Went to Maccas, got chips and then ate cabonara from home. Then at 2 I began to do Application Forms for the school and type it up online...the details then make a quotation and Letter of Offer and all this gay =P. Gah. I'm mentally screwed right now. So yeah. Uncle Mark sent me and Uncle Daniel home, I got my stolen jacket back from Grace and got home at 7. *die*

Now I'm going to...do whatever. So yeah..ttyls.
-spash

oh. and I beat my done up GDB's Iro record...with a stock Evo IV. 3.10 first go. Dang man. =.=

Saturday: Mission training
Sunday: Church then Chaddy with Ka and bought a new Stussy jumper for a certain amount that is disclosed but hidden. 100 myer voucher dollars. Then to Sarah's house to chill with Spax, Jenn, Blick, Jon, Ka, Marcus, Mark and Scout and then to Jon's for dinner with Marc, Jon and Ka.
Monday: Instead of following Mum, Ruth and Ka to DFO, I goto knox with Marc and Jon for lunch, then buy Jon's Champion's League soccerball, then to Borders to read for an age, then Timezone then home, then park and soccer for two hours with a random ex-England-5th-League player (apparently) and then dinner at Ka's.

10:30 - Jap vs. Aus game has begun, and I'm doing my methods homework. Due Tuesday. =.=
11:00 - Checked out the highlights:
6' - Viduka has a shot at goal, gets deflected, has another shot and screws it up.
26' - Japan's "fair", and only goal.

Now to be honest, even a blind person could see that the Japanese guy push Schwarzer. Man. Pressure on the Aussies for like..the rest of the match.

27' - Kewell gets a shot, but to no avail, a tad too high.
41' - Bresciano has a free kick, bit too far to the right, Kawaguchi deflected it nonetheless.

HALF TIME - Australia, you're pissing me off. You've had like most of the possession and yet Japan's defence is just kicking your ass. You're freaking me out when they do get a break because your defence is like..missing. COME ON, my hearts beating hard (so was dads. Mum however was asleep next to me)

53' - Bresciano off, Cahil on. Little did they know how much this substitution was worth.
69' - Josh Kennedy was tripped! Cha! Viduka took a shot but Kawaguchi had the time and the reflexes to push it aside.
84' - Aloisi, penalty king, takes a free. My breath was held. But, Kawaguchi proved to be better than expected. Corner to Aus
84-85' - Kicked, headed by a Jap and Oz, landed on by a Jap, Cahil pick it out from underneath and scores the equaliser. My dad had said before "no way Australia will equalise"
Now he said, "If Australia scores it'd be a miracle". We both settled back into bed. Woke mum up I..THINK.
89' - Tim Cahil, again, a few metres out from the box, takes a stunning shot and off the left post it hits the net on the mid right. Mum gets woken up again.
90' + 2 - Injury time. Australia is inspired. Japan is tired, their defence is leaving gaps and Aloisi, with a sudden burst shoots the ball in as if it were force of habit. Secured and shut. We had won. Mum got woken up once more.

THE best man. The best. I wanna watch Brazil's match now =P Skipped school today cuz of bad bad bad bad stomach ache. Killer. So rested and slept. Cool.

sorry its a bit long, but yeah. Why did I write all that up just now =P. I like this guy's accent.

Thanks for doing an entry for me ka.
SO YEAH I did just get back from camp at Phillip Island. One nighter =.=" Thurs to today..so lame. Nothing much happened..just did the activities...for today we basically just didn't do the activities, just played soccer whilst other people in our group did. We meaning Jon, Alex, Michael, Tyrone, Jay and myself. There was the giant swing, and all that jazz..we'll be back at Family camp anyway Phillip Island Adventure Resort don't you worry.

Got home, had a shower. DING DONG!
There's Ruth, Ivan and Kathleen.
"LET US INN ARGGHH 30 SECONDS OR WE'LL DIE" It seemed that Kathleen hadn't done her UMAT rego yet, and it was due at 5:00..the time was 4:55. Kathleen had gone, whilst at knox "Oh man..my UMAT". So they RAN, didn't bus, they RAN from knox to my house..Nutheads. They registered at 5:10 or something, no late fee...and left my house at like 5:40. Ka came over later, cuz we thought ruth'd come back to my place and then get picked by Uncle Luke at Bib-a-ble study. Ruth went home =P But ka and I had a massive d&m jumping to a billion different topics. Dads computer went bust as well. *sigh* no internet, which was a good thing..cuz all we could do was talk.

And thats it. You wonder how I can update? Asked ka to update and then I'd edit later, so yeah..its actually Saturday but I'm blogging for friday =) Ja-ne

2006-06-06T17:49:00.000+10:00

woke up at ... 10 I think today. St...no I didn't study. Doing that now/tonight. Left the house at 1:30 and took a bus to Knox. Then took the 737 Croydon to Glen..wait. No.

Took it to Croydon. Bloody stupid Croydon. Instead of turning left onto Burwood Highway, it turned right, then onto Stud Road. I thought "Hmm.." but didn't bother asking. Then I'm in Bayswater, then in Boronia and then finally Croydon. What Glen!? I thought the 737 gets there?

Glen <-------> Knox <---------> Croydon

so since Knox is in the middle, I took the wrong way =P
Was supposed to meet up with Mark at like..2.
By the time I got on the right bus at Croydon and had gone backwards and reached Knox again, it was 3:05. Got to Glen to meet an awaiting Khai, Leng and Jo (no Mark, Grace or Faith) at 3:35. I had spent a total of roughly 1 hour 30 (give or take 10 minutes) on the bus, just to get to the Glen. Bus n00b. Yeah I know.

I actually was going to the Glen just to get my camera and Vicky's Michael Buble CD back. No case or cover for both.

Went to Star East, ate with the three. Had to buy an extra drink because minimum 3.50 per person. Jo and Leng bought nothing = Psh. Talked for a while, good fun, got to know Khai and Leng. Khai disappeared after and we walked aimlessly for another don't know how long. By then it was like...4:50. Went to the bus stop, we chatted til' the bus (the proper one) came. I was pretty sure it was the right one cuz' Eu Yane turned up with Cheryl? Sheryl? mm..and was going to Knox. So good, he was my security. Talked on the way home about VCE subjects, GAT tmrw for all you people and church and whats-been-happenings.

And that was my day, a fairly enjoyable one at that. Time to study, and then tomorrow accounting exam and then FREEDOM. Oh wait, camp on Thursday - Friday. =P

Chow for now

ah forgot to update for sunday

Sunday
Woke up at 7...30 methinks. Worship practice at church then had church and Sunday school, and it was on prayer if I remember correctly...and for some reason I really enjoyed the lesson. It was good re-affirmation. SO YEAH. Icky Vicky gave me the Michael Buble CD that I gave to her for her birthday cuz I need it to rip a...well basically I need it to make a backing track for vocals. Then a heap of us stayed after church to scab (or rightly deserve) lunch with the Sunday School Teachers and Kids.
Scabbers were:
- Ashley Chan
- Jason Taing
- Alex Tang
I'm not sure...Jo? are you a scab..? No clue. But after and before lunch we were trying to get the Pick It Up DVD working on the projector, which the PROJECTOR worked, but sound wouldn't. Yet sound worked for anything else. *shakes fist* darn sound thingy of PS DVD.

HEADLINE! My camera went missing. I remember giving it to Liang and then it was missing since then. Then HEADLINE! I get home, look inside the Michael Buble and the CD IS GONE. I swear...I called Spammy to ask her if she knew, then to get Liang's number. Called Liang a few times, he wasn't in. Called Vicky, she was at dinner, she wasn't sure if she had the CD in the case or not. And just about everyone on msn knew I lost my digi-cam. GAH. Went to church to see if it was there (Da Vinci Code Seminar was on...I didn't stay), at the same time picked up my guitar which I left there. No camera or CD. Went home. Called Jo before I ate dinner and asked, she "didn't have it". Spam called back and said that Beny said that Jo had the CD for a bit. Called Jo again.
J: What do you need the camera for?
A: Ah..I have like a digital photography exam on wednesday...
J: Oh...well...........come to my school tomorrow and pick it up.
A: owqegbOWIEGBWEgio

so yes, she was the culprit. She took the CD as well.
I MEAN WHO RACKS the CAMERA - without the case, so no extra batteries, and A CD but NO CD COVER? Omgosh. Omgosh. Omgosh.
Ended up speaking crap to each other for an hour on the phone.

Even more, for the past two weeks shes been telling me shes with this "Pete" guy. Like "Where are you Jo?" - "At Pete's :)" s2's and all.

I find out today "Pete doesn't exist". Stupid freak. You have nothing beter to do right? Gah
Thats it. Todays Monday and I'm at home studying for my Accounting exam on Wed's.

All the best for you who have exams still, and for those who have finished, shiok (changes thanks to Vicky and Jon's support) right?

woo just caught today in time !

I slept at 4 this morning...and I can't tell you why, but Jon knows. If he tells, he admits to being as lame as me cuz he was doing exactly the same thing =P

Woke up at 11...and since then had a headache like mad. Had Mission training, that was good, and then worship practice...but yeah, the headache was bugging me all day. After church, got to drive the car from parking to the front to pick dad up =P Ka and Grace in the back (surprised you guys trusted me!). Yeah..gotta work on braking...er...parking and...everything. Ah well. And yeah, Ka came and hanged with me for a bit at home before being picked up and then I zonked out. Had Bob's dumplings for dinner *SO GOOD* and now I'm here. Just had a 40 minute pointless chat with Jo...so today was reasonably good!

yeah cool, ttyls!

2006-06-01T21:44:00.000+10:00

so today was good good! Thursdays are always bludges, but at lunchtime I got to finish off my recordings, re-recording the guitars with Matt Simpson and over dubbing the vocals to Daughters.

Did you know, yesterday, one of the International Students like...well its like this, there has in the past been tension between white guys and internationals...cuz' white guys think they're top and everything and pick on the internationals I guess...so this white guy hits one of the internationals and the guy lifted his jumper, showed a sheathed knife, half unsheathed it then put it back in and said something...but anyway tension like mad man. So what're they gonna do to the guy? We're not sure...and there's a massive debate on what should be done yadada. So yeah, thats to get word out and around that Haileybury is a deadly school *looks around* joking. I love it cuz the Music facilities ROCK.

Signing up for the Tattoo too, the combined school concert every 2 years...I can't wait...hopefully I can get a role somewhere musically.

AND yeah, today was good.

Ah, if you recall those comics I had a while back the "Hey I'm Mike" *squeeze* comics? or just known as the *squeeze* ones. WELL I've found two more and a funny other one. One today.

2006-05-31T17:47:00.000+10:00

good day today, got through it well. Need sleep now before tuition..and need to do tuition too =P

anyway yesterday I got to record "My Stupid Mouth" and the guitars to "Daughters". Stupid mouth sounds alright, although I hacked up one bit..like one note..I wanna redo that small bit again =P or else all is gone. Had a hair cut yesterday too, I'm really pissed at my hairdresser, Jamie. Its been too many times now (this being the 5th) that I come home and start swearing and looking in the mirror realising:
a) My sideburns are too short
b) My hair is overall too short

I WANT IT THINNED not bloody bald and short as crap. He literally squared off my sideburns. Annoys me just thinking about it. Gah.
Have to wait again for it to grow, so I was motivated to go around AG (gah) and look at "AgKOOL" and the hair forums and managed to get 2 pics which I'm gonna bring to him and tell him to do it like. Far out man. If he can't I'm changing hairdressers and going to the Glen or box or something.

Anyway today was good, gonna go now. Have a good week!

All majesty, to the God of creation.

Awesome. SO "Majesty" from the latest Planetshakers album, "Pick It Up" sounds almost the same as the studio one on Arise...its got that techno-eurobeat intro which would take a while to do on the church keyboard...so chances are the songs not gonna be introduced that way unless we GraceChurch-ify it.

I quote jon "Biggest mistake not calling any of their albums Majesty" because it's been at Boom and stuff and was like..the coolest song. Ah well.

Had an accounting practice exam today. I suck, big time. Like big time. Like have you ever had a Big Mac on top of another Big Mac and tried to eat it? I haven't, but imagine like twice that.

Good thing it's practice.

Start of the week, can't wait till Friday.

Stay cool and don't do drugs.
-spash

ha. yeah something like that =P (dodgiest paintjob EVER)

[p.s. steph ling's on the DVD...and the credits...*enthusiasm*. and, they called the last album Arise cuz it was last years calling or something and this one Pick It Up coz it's like Mike Gugs' calling and he's only been preaching on that for like forever...is that right steph? yeah thereabouts =P cool]

2006-05-24T22:08:00.000+10:00

so I get to school today and I see one..two...three people in casual clothes. It hit me. Casual clothes day. Crap.

Funnily enough, Alex, Michael and Tyrone forgot too, so Jon was the "social outcast" as Ty put it =P

Ah, Wednesdays...nothing much, though tonight is like bludge homework night...I should get as much as I can done though..oh well. So annoyed, supposed to record my group performance but damn Autumn Concert is on, so all the mike leads are gone meaning...I can't record..and then Mr. Marshall's being gay "I'm marking your report soon and you need to have your group performance done" =.=

HE KNOWS that he's using the leads...bah. I'll try and rush it Friday or next monday's double..

Anyway, gotta go, just got back from tuition, gotta work!
God bless

2006-05-21T22:14:00.000+10:00

OKAY ! Fine..I fai di then vicky.

Today is Sunday. This weekend has been ultra crazy busy and I'm wiped, so today's entry (first in like..4 days) is going to be short.

Thursday and Friday honestly nothing special...just waiting for the weekend. Had english SAC Friday though, easy as beans. (don't get that saying...easybeans)

Saturday! PHOO..wake up 9, work for an hour (I didn't) get to soccer at 11, get yelled at coz supposed to be there 10:30, kickoff is 11. We lost 3-4, I'm dang unfit. But I got a lot of posessions and made good passes and had to do a billion throw-ins in a row because they kept on kicking it out. They were a smart team, Caulfield Grammar. I applaud you.

Also Jon. I larbs chu cuz you're our goalie and goalies are awesome. Full stop. Australia's goalie is the man, man.

Had Kurrawang mission training at 1 (got home at 12:30 from soccer..ate a rushed lunch) til 4, but went off half way to do worship training thingy. We're organizing Kidz Club for Friday again! wooty. Me, Blick and Gracie are doing "Illustrations", getting 2 objects and making something like...a good lesson to learn from them. It'll be good.

Then went home and worked my ass off cuz Sunday would be nuts.

TODAY.
Early morning, got to church at 8 to practice. Had normal worship. Blick, Jo, Me and Grace went off during sermon to "hand out the Kidz Club flyers" which took the entire sermon. Accidental I swear. We were just sitting chatting about the funniest stuff that we've all tried to do. E.g. typing with your nose or if you had no limbs you'd have to bash your head or something. xD

Then went KFC with Mark, Jon and Alex. (Ka, Ruth, G&F and like...other peoples were at Knox too...Karvin, Jay, June) then went home, made Apex News with the help of Mark...no Marcus. Played keys and sang today for apex...good fun, Mische Wong leading. And AUNTY FIONA speaking. wah man, she was pretty decent, 'specially for her first time! OH and I also got to share my testimony.
NOTE TO SELF: Be more enthusiastic and motivated =P
It hit me half way and I was like (oh man..this must be so boring)

ah well, tiring weekend...I'm bummed

Gotta go sleep now! Take care this week and God Bless

Hope YOU have been doing well? Good good. If not then tell me about it on msn =P

Anyway, Monday and Tuesday have been pretty average...Last night was an info night for year 11-12's girls and guys. Saw ka and jon and jason and suzie from Toorak, the one I hadn't seen in 2 years (that I saw at Romeo and Juliet before) but yeah...SO pretty boring. Tried to study after...because

TODAY I had a science test (stupid teacher is gay and the test was just as gay as her) and maths...EXAM, which I died on -sigh-
Considering to move DOWN now =P

To the retards (*jon whacks me over the head*), na but...I'm half struggling so I dunno...but yeah

Now to a lot of work..english, maths catch up and accounting so I'll be off and yeah..see ya and stay cool!

I'm SORRY ! HAIYA! I'm 3 hours late..shoulda done this entry YESTERDAY...

WELL, Saturday I FULLY bummed...slept at 2 (gave Dad's b'day present - a new Casio watch, at 1:20) woke up at 1:00pm and did jack all =.='
although, at 6:00 everything changed.

I had arrived at Crown with Mum, Dad and Ka and went to the Conservatory, sat at our 8 seat table and waited for the arrival of the remaining Wongs. They arrived...20 minutes later *stomach began grumbling* and we all set off to discover the wonders of the Crown buffet.

After two oysters, a massive assortment of both cold and hot lamb medallions, Northwestern chicken, beef, burramundi, kangaroo (Uncle Luke ate that =p) a cold yabbie, a few salads, many croutons...*deep breath*, crepes with fresh blue and boysenberries, a chocolate mousse, a trifle, a newyorker cheesecake, a berry cake, 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream, 1 scoop of pistachio ice cream, melted hot chocolate (from the Amazing Legendary Chocolate Fountain) and two glasses of water, we lugged our full stomachs around Crown, and after what seemed like an age, back to our own respective cars in order to get home (which it took my family a good 20-25 minutes to find our car anyway).

Happy Birthday to ALL the May-ians this month (there are tonnes...I know), but to the ones I know of:
Rebekah - last week
Ruth - 12th May
Dad and Haze - 13th May
Andrew Chan - TODAY!

yep thats it! I gotta sleep...I've been doing the cards and stuff...for Mother's Day and for birthdays ><.
enjoy the shots!

Thursday. As per normal, the bludgiest day of any week.

Had P.E first up, but since my "ankle is pretty weak since soccer training" I wasn't able to participate =D. I need a note by tomorrow. Yeah. Right =P

Then Music Performance - bludge, cuz we're all recording still.

Study period then science.
OKAY SO HERE WE GO!
The science teacher is a HOBO! "You should have completed everything in your booklet, but if you haven't, I'm gonna be nice and give you today's period so can work on it in class today!"
Stupid..GAH. Seriously, shes forgetful and a buttface. Theres like pages we've never been told to do the questions for, only to read them. Some pages we haven't even READ and she told us to do the questions on them. SHE ANNOYS ME SO MUCH! After yesterday's ordeal I'm SICK of her. Lucky she didn't yell or go gaybo today or I woulda...I dunno.

I was thinking though, don't teachers feel bad or like...at least inhuman when they like chuck the craps. I'm saying like, unjustifiably chuck the shats. Like a small thing, and just because they're having a bad day, crack it at the next class they have, which the next class is completely innocent and ready to learn. Totally just...puts down everyone and degrades the motivation to work...and the respect for the teacher...

Anyway, so I had another study period after, lunch (and I was still doing science work through both) and thennn...double philosophy at the end of the day.

It was a good day! nothing to complain about...but I've got tuition soon...*die*
Gotta do the work now =P
Peace out, A-Town

Wednesday

Today was an alright day. Although my science teacher for some reason felt like being a total tightass to the entire class. See, last period we had to write up the start of our prac's, i.e. method and materials so she could organize it for us this lesson. She comes to this lesson with the stuff we requested, but being a total gaybo, she was a podantic biziatch..

"You didn't write power cables for your TAINlab (its like a science detector thingy) so I didn't get them for you" "and ALL OF YOU did not write electricity, so looks like you can't do your pracs"

stupid stupid stupid...she talked for literally 30 minutes, and then goes "this is your ONLY double to complete this prac" but she had reduced it to practically one period. Man. And I think she's bi. Long story, I'll explain another time, if she manages to annoy me crapless again.

Also, I JUST got back from the Senior School production, combined with Toorak, Romeo and Juliet, set in umm..forgot. But yeah, it was AWESOME, and studying r&j last year made me appreciate the play a lot more (and understand it). I went with Vickayysss and Lexi, twas' good and awesome acting from you guys and girls. OH and met up with Suzie, who I haven't seen in 2 years...literally, which is awesome.

Also had the second SAC outcome in maths...

And thats it! anyway, next comic =P take care and have a good day!

the only really interesting thing today was that I had my Music Performance, Solo recording at lunch today. Sang St. Patrick's Day - John Mayer and Craig David's - I'm Sorry. Was an AWESOME experience..and thats it =P

coolies, have a good week ahead!

nah but to be honest, we used this like...cool microphone...and it was really good, like picked up my clicking from like 3 metres away, and my music teacher's voice from like 5 metres away...so really expensive professional stuff. I can't wait to hear the mixed tracks =D

I don't actually remember much about this morning...frankly my first memory was when I arrived at school. OH and I vaguely remember eating breakfast today...but the rest is so routine that I've totally forgotten what happened.

I think I was pretty like...not tired or anything, ate a filling breakfast, but I had a blocked nose so I couldn't taste anything so I just shoveled it all in. Porr..age..omgosh don't know how to speel, 2 cups of carrot/orange/apple juice, a cup of milk and a slice of cheese. I slept on the way to school.

Got to school, and then trouble began. I didn't bring my math assignment which I did last night to school...due today. F-ruitbagsofdumbfoiewqhgoweibg. I got pissed off for a while, and tiredness started to sink in. I only just realised why I was so tired (like just a few seconds ago), its cuz' I downloaded Bleach and then watched it and slept at like 1. Gah.

Hold on a sec, my magnet-strip-announcement-holder-thingy just fell.

Anyway, was pissed off for homeroom. Teacher noticed that. So did a few people. Got to Accounting...opened my pencilcase. VIOLA (wait thats an instrument)...VOI LA? dunno, but yeah, I had put the assignment in my p.case. JOY! Day was getting to be alright. Then I had a test -.-".

Rest of the day was fairly decent. Had soccer training after school so I'm bummed now. My watch broke and...yeah. I'll put up photos of Ka's up soon.

for now, I'm off, to work, sleep and eat.
stay cool!

saturday,
I had soccer, picked up Jon and played at school against Melbourne Grammar, half our team turned up =P
We lost 0-3 OH WELL. and Jon copped a ball in the face and BLED.
Then did "homework" for the rest of the day. i.e. slept and lazed around.
Ka came after worship practice and introduced me to these ever-so-funny comics that Ruth originally discovered. They're GOLD.

sunday,
umm, had church! Then went to Rebekah's, along with...heaps of people to celebrate her b'day (on Friday...happy birthday whilst I still remember sis =) and yeah...good fun. Stayed till' after dinner because the rentals are out at dinner, just got home =]

did a lot of fun things today, esp. chocolate/fairy game =D that was pretty interesting!

Take care =P (and yeah the comics' a tad perverted *hee hee*

yay!
Fridays ROCK!
So I got my iPod back on Thursday (joyyyous) and I survived tuition =D...and yeah, today and yesterday were frankly pretty boring, although just now at j-walk was pretty fun.

Had some monument game, and you were either a king (tell people to do stuff), captain (also tells people to do stuff, but under king's order), noble (make it look like you're doing stuff, but really just play games) and scum (workers - made to do stuff). Aim was to build the highest monument...we all ended up stealing stuff from one another...my team lost...good fun though! and costumes.

what else...oh yeah, Grace just said the funniest thing...I shan't say though..but funniest story I've read in a while.

yeah, and I've got soccer tomorrow...and it's ALMOST tomorrow, uhoh, better finish this post soon.

anyway, have an awesome weekend!

ello,

yesterday, had my performance at assembly, and...most people found it good, though those who had heard it/are musically inclined heard the stuff up =.=" damn.
ah well, was a reasonably good day.

TODAY umm, normal day, but atm I'm really annoyed, I have tuition tonight AND I left my stupid iPod in the recording studio...I hope someone hasn't taken it...or else -.-"

thats it, got homework and stuff, I'm gonna go take a nap =] cya!
-spash

daahhh

2006-05-01T18:22:00.000+10:00

ahh! so homo when I forget to update...cuz' I like updating everyday =P
The weekend was pretty full, like...mentally for me. Here was my homework (which I'm still yet to complete even tonight, Monday):
- English - Creative writing SAC draft due Monday.
- English - Start and finish a 250 page book with about 16 different storylines and then complete a 3-4 minute oral on it - due Monday.
- Maths - test on Monday - revise.
- Maths assignment - due Monday
- Science - 1200 word essay, due Monday (changed to Tuesday)
- Music Performance - Group Performance recordings on...you guessed it, Monday.

so a lot to prepare for. I am the worst at prioritising. Instead of getting the worth it stuff done, i.e. maths assignment and english SAC, I read the book, Ragtime, as I was going through it, I completed character profiles and a storyline like...whatever. I managed to get some Maths revision in, but didn't do the assignment (*doh*). English I get an extension...til' tomorrow (joy)

Saturday
busy as heck, cuz' I was intensely reading. Had Shine practice at 4:30 to like...ages, but it ended up sounding awesome. Thanks a lot guys for coming then, it was a weird time and so happy you could make it.
Then, after, went to the Glen, met up with Ruth, Rebekah, Aaron, Mum2 and Dad2, and Mum and Dad (biological) and watched March of the Penguins. It's not TOO bad, and the penguins are funny/cute =P, although its sad when they die...Had dinner at Bob's...yummy.

Sunday
Had SHINE! So I was worship leading yeah, and had Spax and Faifyz singing...
Marcus - Bass
Beny - Acoustic
Mark - Electric
Vicky - Keys
Blick - Drums
so a fair share of n00bs (roflmao lol zomgzor), but it sounded great xD still can't thank you guys enough, so if you look at this, my thanks goes out to you a tonne! And then after church we had Kurrawang Mission training...and after that, at home, more work.

Now onto matters of more happiness, I have to perform stupid My Stupid Mouth yet AGAIN with my stupid mouth and my guitar...but this time to the entire senior school xD, assembly TOMORROW. WHAT THE. Thanks for the early notice, they told me during my maths class -.-"

And thats it, thanks for ploughing through all that garbage.
Oh had soccer today...after school...my glasses got full on wet (as did everything else on me) and I couldn't see...damn glasses.

have a joyful, fun-filled umm...good...nice...week everyone!!

firsts footy.

2006-04-28T23:47:00.000+10:00

what a Friday! all periods were shortened by 40 minutes, but we had recess like 30 minutes late, as we did lunch =.=' how hobo. It was all so that everyone could support the Firsts footy team against Melbourne Grammar...no need for support, we were kicking them by the time everyone left =P.

Had small group too, but I chilled out with Alex and we caught up, cuz he just started a 6/7 week Bible study...exciting !

and thats today...got a load of homework today...thats the only bad thing, so early morning and working all day tomorrow.

God bless you all !

thursdays are a BLUDGE..if you haven't read before =P

so today was really, bludgey...2 study periods and like..yeah...so bludgy.
had beep test though...stopped at 10 =P CBB man.
lunchtime I set up for the performance, and had a practice...that was good.

the performance? yeah I enjoyed it, didn't stuff up...noticeably I think, although mummy and daddy said that the microphone and stuff was like muffled..not clear enough..(or maybe it was my speech). SO YEAH. thats it, fun day =]

have a good one ! xD

first day of school.

2006-04-26T21:15:00.000+10:00

back to the best routine in the world - school. TERM TWO!
nyaaaaaaaaa, can't be bothered. nothing really interesting, although each period was cut 10 mins short so that we could have 30 minutes to stand watching a flag go up and down a pole and the pipes and drums playing a tune that we-all-could-probably-recite-upside-down-twelve-times-non-stop-and-they've-played-it-300-years-straight - it was for the ANZAC Day service.
got to perform in Music Performance (musperf [muse-perf] - "its like Busman, only gay" the abbreviation that is...thanks michael) because tomorrow night I'm playing! WOO! Can't wait...yet I'm freaked like crap.

come see me =D Celebration of Leadership night...whole school I just found out...starts at 8, I'm only doing one song. SCARY.

anyway, I was mucking around with more aparture shots, if you wanna look, with Andrew's guitar (I'm using it tomorrow ^______^v)
have an awesome weeeeeeek ya'll,
-spash
p.s. first two are the like..4 megapixel ones..the rest are fuzzy =P

Go to sleep my beautiful. xD

CRAP crapcrapcrap, I didn't blog on Monday...this is becoming a habit..

but Monday nothing happened anyway =P, just worked (i.e. HOMEWORK .. I don't have a job, although desperately in need of one) and stuff.

TODAY! ANZAC Day, WOOPEE! Went to the glen, at 11...everything opens at 1, so Karvin, Jason, Grace, Faith, Spammy, Vicky, Blick (and later Jon) and moi bummed for an age. At Cinemas for a while, then KFC for a while then Happy Cup for a while, until it was about 1 and then we went and bought tickets and saw She's The Man. I quote the girls

"Channing Tatum - so hotttttt, omgosh, never seen some guy thats so hot and so
chiselled, omgomgomgosh"

Yes..and then Spammy, Jo, Grace, Faith and Karvin stayed back with me to have dinner at Yummy's Kitchen (ddaaarrrmmpllinggss), where I got Beny to meet up with us. Jo and me went against Beny and Spammy in doubles air hockey =P (they cheated...you'll see in the pics) and then I went to his house so we could have our Bible Study followup thingy, cuz he's like going through this 6-week Bib-a-ble study with me...itsawesome, and me and my Godbro are getting good again =D. He drove me home too (L's) and..I gave him 5 stars (first time driving me...and it was really smooooooth) so I recommend him girls ;]

anyway, pics from today, and some shots I was experimenting with!

first apex since camp.

2006-04-23T21:43:00.000+10:00

today was pretty much a normal sunday...I guess the first Sunday since Eastercamp...and I just got back from Apex, which was great, led by Marcus. We introduced a new song, The Stand - on the United: We Stand album and it was really moving, at least for me. Free worship seems to be coming into our youth gradually, and its amazing how people are opening up and expressing their love for God.
Enough said, pics as you ordered...

take care this coming week, and er, Happy ANZAC Day?

hey..no fair..
I didn't do a blog for yesterday...great...

WELL, this one will be devoted to Monday..let me take my mind back..

today was pretty fun actually, Mark, Marcus, Jon, Beny, Aaron, Sook Kuan, Jackie, Andrew, Ka, Grace and I were at Paula And Charles' Wedding (my ex..ex..neighbours =P). Mum organized it and planned it see, and so the group of us had to play our respective instruments (drums, guitar, strings or vocals) for 3 pieces. Quite the fun, then I left early, but from what I heard (and ate before and afterwards) the reception was fairly tasty =D.

I was notified at like..1:45, before I took a trip to Dreamland this very thing...
"Hey son, we have to pick Jon at 12:30 instead"
"for what?"
"You and him are helping me prepare the wedding today"

so thats what me and Jon did all day today, and I'm pretty bummed out...and still have a heap of work to do - die -.

anyway, if you didn't know (*coughfaithcough*) the pic's below, you can click and get the large version of them =P.
