Prom nite 08

Believe me, i don't usually wear like this...


Because the theme was "HAWAII NIGHT"

So i dressed myself like a gypsy girl, with the very limited clothes i could find from my KL wardrobe so that i did not have to go shopping...Hehe...
And also with a lot of encouragements...

It was awesome. Everyone was in their best.

Coursemates

The heat was further turned on by the wonderful performances prepared by the committee.


Sabrina and I performed two songs.
"You raise me up"
"Stand by me"



The crowd went wild.

Our lecturers couldn't be cuter. They also sang us songs, which we could hardly hear what they're singing... -_-'''

Great food. Hilarious games.
N times of photo-shooting session.

University life has never been so cool if weren't for all of you.
My adorable coursemates and lecturers.
Man, i really feel like going back to school...

Too bad i didn't have all the photos with me.
So I'll post what I have in my camera.

So Christina, don't always complain ya...
I also will post nice pictures once in a while one, ok

Act cute.

He was nominated as the most "Macho" guy in class.
Hm...8/10 ;)

The prom night has marked a perfect full stop for my university life.
It shaped, molded and trained me to become what i am today.
Coursemates, friends, housemates...
I miss you all.
Take care alright?

Though we're heading to a different altitude of life,
I believe it shall be a new begining for all of us to search the purposes of our lives.
And the memories will be our most precious treasures.


With lots of love.

Blah-ing

I had spent the most hectic weekeend. But i appreciate it very much.

Thanks girls. :)

After N times of watching this...

...I'm still having goosebumps...

I've always love Mariah Carey's version of "Always be my baby",

But David Cook is really amazing.

So original.

I just couldn't get the song out of my mind.

*melt melt melt melt*



Still melt... *hold breath*

Rach is now learning how to play like this guy bertungkus-lumus.

Self-medicating

Chief complain:
My nose is soaked with mucous

Symptoms:
Runny nose. Sneezing.

Signs:
Not significant.

Duration:
2 days

Severity level:
mild

Pre-diagnosis:
Nasal congestion, aka Flu

Pharmaceutical care plan:
1. Drink sufficient water
2. Take Vitamin C
3. Rest well
4. Off the air-cons.
5. Take OTC (Over the counter) product if symptoms persist and severed.

Recommendations:
Cetrizet D. 1 tablet OD x 3 days

Cetrizet D. Extended release tablet comprising of
Cetirizine hydrochloride 5mg and
Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride 120mg.


Okay. Let me explain in layman.

Histamine is one of the chemical compound in our nose.
Once infected, our nose will secrete a whole bunch of them into the blood and
cause the blood vessel to get swollen.
This is why our nose will turn red.
It will release mucous abundantly so that you can't breathe with your nostrils.
Cetirizine is an antihistamine.
It helped to stop the action of histamine and
relieve the symptoms like runny nose and sneezing.

Pseudoephedrine is vasoconstrictor, which means
it help to shrink the blood vessels in the nose so as to reduce the overflowing mucous,
clear the path so that you can breathe better.

Hah~~ Luckily i haven't forget everything back in class!
I'm a confirmed-to-be pharmacist!
All ready for work.

Oh yeah...i'm not encouraging the public to self medication okay.
Anything serious got to do with your health, go to your doctors or pharmacist. Hehe.

Ah...stupid nose....
*sneeze*

我的帅徒弟~~~

想不到我还有这招吧~？;)

愿所有的快乐，所有的幸福，所有的温馨，所有的好运永远围绕在你身边！

Happy Birthday!




p/s: No. He is not my bf. :P

McD情缘

Okay. Enough of the emo stuffs.
Now here's something to cheer me up. And i hope you all will too.

But before i proceed, i want to state it clear that i am not paid by McD for this entry.
Nevertheless, i hope this will be entertaining.

To me, McD is a place more than just a fast food restaurant.
It's not about the food.
It's about who you are going with. And that makes everything in McD so special.
And delicious.

Yeap.
It really depends who are ur McD 'kaki's.
So much for the McD here in kuching, its just don't seem tempting or appetite boosting.
I don't miss the food.
I miss eating the food with them.

Introducing my kaki-kaki McD.

After the demonic final exams. After passing up the assignments which sucked our energy entirely. On birthdays. Stress. Conflicts. Etc etc and etc.
We're there at least once a week.
And never grew tired of it.
Relationships always grew each time we visit McD.
It reminds us how we face life challenges together.
And how we managed to make it through together.

Even at times when we were too busy to walk out from the house.
Or when it was too late at night to walk for supper.
And when we were too tired from studying.
It never stopped us.
Just dial a number and give our orders.
And Wa la....the burgers and frenchfries are at the doorstep.
Then everyone will come out from their rooms and gather in front of the TV, with a packet of Mcvalue meals and watch America Next top model, Desperate housewives, So you think you can dance, midnight movies etc etc etc.
Just like a handphone's battery needs to be charged.
Stress were relieved. Strength were given. We support each other through endless studying nights. Not to say we also help each other to gain fats. Haha!

Last year, our class were given an IT assignment. It was about designing a website.
All we could think of is promoting the things that captured our highest interest.
Yeap. McD again.
We enjoyed this assignment though it cost us 4 hours of sleep per day.
We did a great job. Our lecturer, Mr Charles gave us 14/15.

Let me show you a thing or two.
I, as the leader of the group present to you,
my collaborators and
our theme....

挥着翅膀的女孩

我不记得是几时了。这篇文章是写给在感情上无怨无悔的女朋友们。我也看到了走过来的自己。。。

感情一旦逝去了,

天下再也没有什么能让它复活。

既然有缘无份,那何需誓言,又何需理由?

已经不记得女孩是谁,却仍然令她忍不住牵肠挂肚的男孩,

对女孩来说,

没有值不值得,只有愿不愿意。

是傻吗?

其实,

女孩并不再奢望要和男孩重新开始。

每一个女孩心里,

永远都再为自己心爱的人着想。

只要为了他好,

就算代价是要自己退出,每天承受椎心之痛,

她也会静静的走开。

她其实也很想快点复原,

永远地脱离男孩所留下的痕迹。

每天都在期待那一天的到来。

所以她很努力, 一直的很努力开创自己的未来。

可是, 难免深夜里会感慨,泪水不断.

她的内心最深处,有个最真的声音,

“你还记得我吗?”

什么都不用说,

只想男孩会一直记得有个女孩为了他不顾一切。

这样就够了,

至少证明自己的感情存在过。

值得了。

可是她永远也不知道男孩的答案…

女孩是弱者吗?

我说她是坚强的。

因为,她不会放弃为明天而寻找出路。

伤痕累累又怎样, 精疲力尽又怎样?

她不断的走,不让自己停留过去。

面对再痛的事实, 她仍然能咬紧牙关的撑过来。

我所认识的女孩, 加油。

我知道, 你每天都在孤军奋战,

每天都在学着放手。

那一天不会太遥远,

我等着看更美丽,自信,能干的女孩。

路虽有起有落,

人来人走,

走的留不住,

可是也有为你停留的。

有一天,你会张开你的双眼,

看到的,感觉到的,

会是广阔的天空,任凭你闯荡。

剩下的只是笑容。

最重要的是心里充实,

人生不是空白的。

好矛盾。。。

。。。可以吗。。。？

有些事情已经不能重来。

我的感情不是我一个人做得了主。

但是，为什么你的手却如此温暖。。。让我难以取舍？

我好不容易站起来了，走远了，坚强了，开心了。。。

现在要我回头吗？

主啊，我该怎么办？

Randomness

Someone is going to SABAH for holidays.

And this is my vengeance for not bringing me along...




You be careful, alright?

Dear God, please take care of my love ones.

Update:
Friends, thanks for all the concern. I'm deeply blessed.
Thank God for the healing and restoration for the broken-hearted.
They finally talked today.

My best friend's Birthday

Happy Birthday To Mr. Funkye!

I just don't know how to tell you how much i appreciate our friendship.

With your continuous support,
I managed to pull it through many difficult and painful times of my life.

All these years, thanks for taking care of me.
U helped me to get rid of Kuching-phobia.

Haha. Love you, bro! Let's watch movie again ya!

My baby

A guitar like no others.

Thanks to Frankie who took the time to accompany me to buy it.

I never thought that i would learn guitar one day.
I'd learned piano since i was 7 years old.
But i gave up when i couldn't pass my grade 8 examination.
A break up with my first love made everything went terribly wrong.

Two times i failed. I got so disappointed in myself and lost all the confidence i had in music.
So i stopped pursuing grade 8.
Nevertheless, i played for my church choirs occasionally.
But ever since i moved to KL, my touch with the piano grew lesser and lesser.

However at early 2008, Jacob put me in charge of my cell group which consisted of 14 members. It was a big challenge for me because i did not where to start and how to run.

One of the obstacles my cell group faced was that we have no regular attending guitarists.
So i began to pray to God to provide one.

But soon God answered me, "Rachel. You have the basics. By faith, take it up again."
I was like, "ME??? how can? I never played guitar before! I'd forgotten all the theories."

I tried to argue somemore. "God, i don't have a guitar. I don't have $$ to buy also. How?"
Few days later, a coursemate of mine called. "Hey Rach, i heard u're looking for a guitar. I have one and i don't play it anymore. You can borrow as long u want."

*speechless*

Well, So i practiced my faith. I went to Joyce's house for two lessons. Then, i just simply play lar. Morning till night, i practiced.

And that's how i fell in love with guitar.
Through self-learning, i'd learned how to play many songs.
And i can serve my cell group with it.


I even performed in my university prom night.

I never knew i could get this far. Thanks to God who believes and has confidence in me.


I remembered i used to dream that one day i would play songs that i love with a guitar.
It's a vision came true.
Not a dream anymore. :)


No. Don't get me wrong. I'm not that good yet. A beginner who is still learning.

:P

Cambodia mission trip - Behind the scenes

Some people I think I know them... I am so wrong.

I haven't seen everything yet...

They aren't like what they usually appear...

Before this mission trip begun, I've discovered things i never knew before...

I'm about to reveal the other sides of certain people...

To teach you...never judge a book by its cover.

Well, I thought YOU might be interested...

Are YOU sure YOU're ready for this?

Sure?

Here we go.

P/S: The following statements are just based on merely observations. Not judgements.
I repeat. Not judgements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a bright sun shining 26th April 08. The mission team woke up early in the morning to embark it's journey to a new world - Cambodia.

While waiting for taxi at the bus stop...


I've found out two camwhore queens in the team

*****************************
******************

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 smth am. While waiting for CK and Joanne in KL central.



Have you spot something that appeared in both pictures?

The mission team faced the first temptation.


* * * *

Rachel: (munching McD Frenchfries) Pastor Anba. Have you eaten breakfast?

Pastor Anba : No. I was in hurry just now.

Rachel: Like that ar. Come come i give you some fries to eat.

Pastor Anba: No no its okay. I'm not hungry.

Pastor Anba: ................

Pastor Anba: Okay....maybe just a little bit....

***10 minutes later***


* * * *

And then, Pastor Anba 'accidentally' lured Pastor Rueben into it.

Pastor Rueben: Hey, what you got there?

Pastor Anba: Oh erm....McValue meal breakfast....

***10 minutes later***



Pastor Rueben: Make sure nobody sees this. Especially Christina.


Unfortunately Sabrina was the first one to caught him.

Sabrina: PASTOR~!! I thought you wanna keep fit?? Do you know how much calories you're about to consume?????

Pastor Rueben: (Bising la betul) Cambodia don't have McD one you know. Somemore got promotion ar...Faster go get it!

So the cycle went on until everyone gets a packet of McValue meal...

But we just won't let him eat in peace. :P


Pastor Rueben: (Aiya....choose this time to take picture...i want to eat liaw...)



Pastor Rueben: Perfect. Now the coast is clear. FINALLY i can eat!


Now who would ever imagine this fella is a pastor?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the team, there's this smart guy named Aloysius.

In Cambodia, Aloy means $$.

Indeed, he is very good in 'bargaining'.

Whenever he's around, we will never rugi.


Aloysius: Wrong liaw Pastor. You see hor...add another 50 cents...my coke add more oz! Like that baru got untung.

Pastor Rueben: ......(Berlagak ini aloy...) Oh is it?



Aloysius: Yeah la of course. See got BIG difference one ar.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was also last minute studying.

Amanda: Christina Christina...help me to revise my cambodian language...I'm so nervous i forgot everything liaw...

Christina: Oh okay....(Aiya...i want to buy Big Mac ler....hungry...) -_-'''




***30 minutes later***


Chum riapp sooer....Oor Kunn...Soum thoh.....Bann Hai.....

Sa art nah....Kenyom mokpi malaisi...

Neiksok sabai ciyehtei...

Kenyom sriek tuk...


***Another N/A minutes later***



Amanda: Soum ong kui...Cheriang cheemui kenyom.... Priay Yesu Kri....Kenyom Sraw larnge niek....(went on and on on...)

Christina: (-_-''' h..e..l..p.... Big mac wait for me ya...)


Then someone came to rescue.



Aloysius: I think she is 'shriek tuk' liaw.

('Shriek tuk' means thirsty)


It worked.

Amanda: Hehe. Now i will have absolutely no problems in communication with the cambodians~


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We were still waiting for CK and Joanne.

So some people busy sms-ing.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ten reasons why i wanna start blogging again

1. I've tried xanga, multiply and frienster blog. So, why not give blogspot a shot?
2. To help me get rid of the laziness in me?
3. I have hundreds of photos in my laptop. Thought of sharing with u guys. (See how good i am~?)
4. To practice my HTML skills. (Does that make any sense?)
5. So that Gary won't miss me too much by updating my life here in kuching.
6. Because everybody i know writes blog. I also wanna follow the trend ma~
7. I have too much time. (Okay okay i'm bored to death here)
8. Because there's no law that say i cannot? (I'm running out of ideas...). Hm...What about Christina asks me to?
9. I'll write my deepest darkest and funniest secrets here. Hehe. Now wouldn't you be curious~?
10. I think God wants me to. Okay okay i promise no long sermons.

Hopefully this will not be another 3 minutes hot plate. Based on my past blogging experiences, i'm not keen in updating stuffs around here. So, please bear with me. Who knows i'll be addicted.

Above all, there's only 1 reason why i'm here. I just wanna make this place a secret hiding place where i can write my feelings time to time. Keeping too much flavors in me will drive me crazy. So, 'good' things are meant to share~

Since this will be my personal diary. So keep it secret ok~?

This is for anyone who misses me, just in case.

p/s: Nah...this photo was taken months ago. Hehe.
