I'VE CHANGED TO BLOGSPOT
| | |
| Helloooooo. It's time to announce something.... You may ask
"what are you going to announce?".
"are you getting married?"
"are you pregnant?"
"are you on the computer?"
"are you in love?"
"are you sleepy?"
Well none of these questions will make me announce what i'm going to say. But i'm going to say it anyway. :P
I'm GOING TO BLOGSPOT
It's sad but it's true. I haven't made the website yet, but i'll get around to doing it sooner or later. Probably by 1st of january. :). Too many people are moving to blogspot, and i want to be able to recieve updates from all my fellow bloggers too. :P. sorry all xangians. This is the new year, and we should shift from xanga to blogspot now..
ANYWAYS. That isn't so important. Had a real blast the last couple of days. I've been watching a couple of movies in the cinema(something we don't do so often in perth), doing a couple of random stuff, and been doing a couple of pranks. Who was the victim? Sadly our good old friend, jonathan lim. :)
It was pretty hilarious actually. Darian, me and Jonathan were waiting for the movie to start, since it starts quite late. We waited at the bowling alley in One Borneo and we sat there thinking what should we do next. We decided to follow in Remi Gaillard's footsteps and do something random. So we watched a guy bowl and then when he got a strike, we start clapping. Then tiba tiba the guy turned around and saw jonathan. It was so dumb. Both jonathan and him knew each other. -.-.. Somemore Jonathan was clapping. lol..
Ok that's not what we were laughing about. 5 minutes before the movie started, We were on our way back when we spotted a smoking room. It looked pretty dumb. It was a glass room, and looked like there were "pilak smokers" on display. Darian suddenly had a thought. "Hey. What would happen if we went inside and took a picture through the glass door?". We laughed about it and then Jonathan offered to do it. Darian and I agreed to pay 5 bucks each and Jonathan opened the glass door and went inside. He looked at the camera and held up his hand doing the victory sign, and...............................
DARIAN AND I RAN OFF!
He looked so funny. SERIOUSLY. He looked so hilarious just standing there with his victory sign with a bunch of pilak smokers. ROFL. He was soooo disappointed with us. He then forced us to pay 5 bucks to him, in which we didn't because the conditions were not met. We didn't take the photo, so therefore there was no acceptance made.(contract law). xD
Today we did some extraordinary stuff too. Darian and I saw an escalator in Warisan and we decided to walk down it. It's not as easy as you think. Darian and i got a bit freaked out after the first attempt. After that we walked down the steps, and then raised our hands like *REMI GAILLARD*. haha..
We also had a few attempts to hook up with our manequins from Padini Clothes store. =p. I held her hand and rested my head against her shoulder. *sigh*. xDxD.. I didn't know at that time the t-shirt actually had something to do with holding hands. -.-. She was actually literally asking me to hold her hand. lol
Then we went to a make up store and played around with the samples. I took some pink lipstick and dabbed them on Melvyn's cheeks. HE LOOKED CUTE. hahahahahahahaa..
Ah well that was pretty much what i did the past 2 days. I've watched 2 movies too, and tomorrow i'll probably be watching another one. I watched Bedtime story(rating: 6.5 or 7/10).. It was a good movie, but a bit childish. Really funny and random though. If i watch it with children then i'd probably increase my rating. I also watched "Spirit"(rating: 5/10). It was plain dumb. It was random but not funny, storyline sucked, the graphics were good but confusing, and it pretty much sucked. I give it props because it reminded me of Mr Bean's holiday part in the cinema.
"in this box there's....... nothing........ in this blaa blaa there's.............. nothing... PLAYBACK TIME.. zzzzzzzzzz!"
Lol.. that's all to it today. :)
So sad that Nigel's leaving. :S. We had lunch at an italian restaraunt today and the lasagna was superb. Best lasagna in town apparently. But not filling. :)..

| Just to inform those who don't know that i'm back..
I'M BACK!
Well yeah. That's all you need to know. =P.. Had a great time so far. Last night i had a good shock. Apparently Bernard, Patrick, Eunice, Darian andn Melvyn were all hiding in my room. =.=. Bernard was under the bed, Darian was *can't remember*, Melvyn was behind the door and Patrick and Eunice were in the toilet. :S. For the time being i'm staying in the maids room cuz loads of my relatives are coming over to stay, and there's not much place left. :).. So yeah. As soon as i walked in the room, I realised that there was a computer right in front of me, on my bed. I was a bit stunned, thinking what on earth could a computer be doing on my bed. I turned to switch on the lights, and Bernard suddenly gave a loud shout and grabbed my legs from under the bed. =.=. I was pretty shocked and i pulled my legs back. My older sister, who accompanied me, gave a loud scream and suddenly all the other people jumped out from their hiding places and shouted "SUPRISE".
It was a good welcome. :D.. After that i went with Mel and Darian for dinner. Had to buy all my stuff like sim cards and etc. Sianz la.
Ahhh.. Today went to play some futsal with the others. Suddenly i feel so much better.In Perth there are so many big people until i cannot do anything with the ball except pass. Suddenly here i have more advantage. haha. can jostle people a bit and they lose balance. =D. So fun. haha.. Quite exhausted now. But probably we're going to cut our hair. All 3 of us - Jonathan, Melvyn and I.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK.
Can't wait to see all of you again. :)

| Oh wow.
I seriously just can't believe it. Suddenly after having a few "problemless" weeks, few issues suddenly appear. Suddenly makes me realise that life can't be perfect forever. Even when you try your hardest to keep it that way.
Nearly all of us have experienced problems with group members(1st problem). 3 weeks ago i told them to pass me the work the next wednesday. 2 of them told me that they forgot their pen-drive. One of them didn't even attend.
The next week came by and one of them said that he'll pass it to me by that night. The other one didn't even attend class. The third one didn't even know what he was supposed to do.
The next week came by again and one passes me work that is bull-crap, meaning just copy and pasted. Another one passes me work that is another bit of bull-crap and he told me that he has another better copy. I tell him to print it out and he forgot his pen-drive again.
I can't take it anymore.
I seriously need God's help.
Thank GOD i have this holiday.
It came at the right time.
I'm not really done yet you know..
How many of you studied hard for an exam, in which you were sure you'd do well? How many of you sat the exam confident that you'd score quite well because you'd studied hard? How many of you failed that exam?
I KNEW i was going to get good marks. I studied hard. I asked questions. I understood the topic. I did everything required. I memorized. I made mind maps. I forced the information into my head, knowing it'll stay there. The exam question came out. It was bloody easy. I knew exactly what i had to do.
Exam results: fail.
I'm not ashamed to say it. I've failed many times in my exams due to laziness. But i'm not ashamed to say it this time because I studied hard.
Guess what.
A HUGE number of the class failed. Not because they were lazy.
Reason being because the stupid teacher didn't tell us exactly what format we were actually supposed to use.
...
As soon as i saw my marks this morning, i was shocked. I couldn't believe my eyes. I just stared at the numbers displayed on my computer screen. I rested my head on my hands. I could not believe it. After all that studying. After all that work. All that gone in a flash. No results to show for my efforts. I felt blood rushing towards my head. I was angry and sad at the same time.
"God.. how could you let this happen?"
Only then did i realise God was trying to get my attention. I had been too focused on too many things. Studies. Books. Movies. Heroes. Prison break. Friends. That I had forgotten God. Sure i remembered God when I was at church and when i worshipped him whole heartedly. But he wanted more than that.
I know many of you hate emo posts, as i do(sorry emo bloggers), but thanks for reading this little bit of my life in emo style. :D..
I love you Lord.
You rescued me.
You are all that i want.
You're all that I need.

| Happy Birthday to me! I'm 18 years old and 1 day at this moment. :D. I don't know why, but I feel like there's a huge jump between 17 and 18. Suddenly i feel awfully old. I don't know whether to be happy i'm 18 or sad by the fact that i'm pretty old to some people now. Haha. Come to think of it it's actually pretty cool, looking back at my life and realising how many things i've gone through. All the lessons i've learnt, all the hardships i've been through, all the love and care i've recieved, all the new friends i've met and are still friends today, all the childhood friends that are still keeping contact with me, all the girlfriends i've had(bleck kidding.xD). But yeah it seriously has been an awesome experience over the past 18 years. I love looking back at my memories. :D.
First few people i'd like to thank is the people i've known for barely a year. The 3 guys that i always hung out with in FGA and looked up to, and respected. Arntan(aaron tan), Chuen Yang, and Jon Ng. After coming over from Zion Praise(please don't take any offence please), I felt really accepted by these guys. They accepted me as one of their own. They seemed interested to know me. I felt loved from day 1. I had massive amounts of fun with them.
Most of the people may think that i backslided in overall when i came to FGA due to playing DOTA with them, but the funny thing is, is that i've grown way more than i ever expected. Yes, DOTA gave way for me to backslide and i fell into that trap. But there were times in the year where i was out of it. And it FELT SO GOOD. SO GOOD. I just felt like I realised how wonderful it was to be out of bondage. I can't describe the feeling. I just soared. I LOOKED FORWARD to doing my devotion and was all out for Him... I sang my heart out, and constantly talked to Him even in the bus, while walking to Uni, in class, wherever i went. And then, gullible as i was, i got sucked back into it again. Living on the thought that it was "holiday time", i thought i had the right to play DOTA since i did reasonably good(in my perceptions) in my studies. That brought me down. Way down. I had my share of "not going to church" experiences. And it brought me down even further. I was supposed to work but i didn't go. I stayed at home in my nutshell feeling alone and terrible and way down. I longed to get out again.
These guys helped me immensely. They prayed for me, they walked with me, tried their best to help out, advised me on controlling myself. It was that little bit that contributed to helping me get out of my situation. My parents had a part to play in my situation, but all these things add up. In overall, for the past year, i've grown way more than ever. Don't expect me to come back preaching like my dad or something, but what i'm trying to say is that i've grown in my relationship with God is way better than before. This year was the first real time i felt that God was SO real. God can turn our weaknesses into our strengths. :)
I personally would like to thanks Jon and Chuen again for the party they organized for me last night, even though it was a bit last minute. :D. It doesn't matter. I'm already touched by the fact that you guys went through all the trouble to organize this party for me. Chuen was having diarrhea, and he still went kayaking with me. luckily he didn't have diarrhea in the kayak or else i would have freaked out and jumped out of the boat and decide to swim instead. :) Thanks alot. It wasn't easy to buy the stuff and organize the party i know. And i'm really touched by the fact that you guys still went through all the trouble. Thanks again. :)
I also would like to thank my parents for being there for me, guiding me, setting me on the course that i've been destined to be in, and for just plain loving me. :). Honestly, these parents are the best even after all the hardships, all the shouting, all the arguing, and all the rebelling(from me). The fact that they're still praying for me and walking with me every step of the way shows me how much more my father in heaven is like. Thanks for everything. :)..
*NOTE: for those who weren't included here, don't take offence. You may still be included in this list of thanks.. :D.. wahahahaha
1. Melvyn
2. Che Che. :D my way of spelling it. so be quiet
3. Darian
4. Addie
*not in the list? Don't worry. Those in my facebook are all to be thanked too. :) hahha
*not in my facebook? FAIL.. wahahaha. kidding. :D
AH.. That was a long post on just thanking alone. :P. Just felt like i needed to post something to show my appreciation. NOW. let's get to the juicy details on what happened last night in the party.
1. I got drunk
2. I slapped Jeremy Wong
3. I smacked someone's butt
4. I got carried home
5. I got scolded by my parents while i was drunk
6. I laughed and fainted.
*all the above are fake except number 3.
Ok last night was NOT my first time drinking, but it was my first time drinking out of those kind of beer bottles. *I KNOW THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COKE BOTTLE AND A BEER BOTTLE, BUT LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF*. Last night there was so much pressure on me. O_o.. There was a long table and EVERYONE was looking at me with my beer bottle. I can't stand it rawr.. It's like so freaking scary. If i'm giving a presentation, i know what people want, if i'm giving a small talk in my group of friends of how to do something, then i know what they want. BUT YOU GIVE ME A BOTTLE OF BEER IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, i won't know what to do. Do you want me to drink the whole thing in one gulp? Do you want me to drink it slowly? Do you want me to drink it in a cup???
I was so stumped. -.-.. The last time i drank and got drunk(last year) was when my friends came over with a carton of beer and poured it into a few different cups for me to drink. While i was drinking, they tipped the glass a bit higher so as to make me drink faster. I moved back and yet they followed(they must be pretty experienced lol). So that night i drank 6 or 7 beers. *not a lot according to most people, but to me i was nearly knocked out. haha*.. Yeah anyways, what happened in the party was that everyone was looking at me, and Matt gave me a bottle opener and asked me to open it. I was actually feeling my face get hot due to everyone looking at me and waiting for me to see what method i was using to open the bottle. Thank God i opened it in the end. :D..
The next thing to do was drink. Nobody's eyes were off me. I was SO pressurized i tell you. I took the bottle turned at a 60 degree angle and it came out too fast and dripped down my chin. =.=.. So embarrasing i tell you.. And i wasn't even drunk. -.- hahahaha. I don't really drink out of those kind of bottles as in KK, you don't get those type of Coke bottles. So i didn't expect it the beer to rush out that fast. So instead, i took small sips. And we continued talking and chatting. I just felt that everyone expected me to get drunk, since it was my 18th and that's what most people do. I didn't WANT to get drunk. I already had one bad experience and i don't want that to happen again.
Jon came over and whispered in my ear. "You dont need to feel obliged to drink more". I was like SO HAPPY. haha. I don't like beer as much as white wine, and i didn't like the pressure(This is not an excuse for drinking 1 bottle of beer only). For those expecting me to get drunk, SUCKS TO YOU. :D.. haha kidding. :P...
I just found out last night that i have my father's side of drinking. :). My father, with one bottle of wine or beer, will turn beet-root red. His face will go all hot and he'd feel very sick. Mine wasn't as bad as his, but still, people told me that when they touched my head it was quite warm. Probably after 1 or 2 more beers I would be looking very like my dad when he drinks. :D.. It's a good thing i can't drink much though. :). I wouldnt like to switch from being a gamer to an alcoholic. A gamer is healthier. :D.. wahahha
Yeah for those of you who want to find out more about the party, i think i'll upload some photos and post them up the next time. Probably tomorrow or the day after. BE PREPARED. You'll look at me and say. This andrew looks like an alcoholic. :D
