....Munching a wheat bun with coarse peanut butter filling is heavenly when your stomach is grouching for food...
Catherine came to SFX to get Daryl boy's toy he left while he visited me here almost a year ago. Dealing with health products, Catherine was kind enough to let me try a special tea which boosts immune and metabolism. She knew I kept falling ill and complaining about headaches and stuff. I was indeed grateful! The thing which attracts me was the ingredients of the tea, namely green tea, lemon and hibiscus. I took a sip and it tasted quite weird at first but after a while, it's actually quite refreshing! This drink miraculously kept me awake without a yawn until now! (1.00am) and I felt hungry; yes I mean real hungry! :P
I felt so stressed up due to several problems which occurs concurrently and I'm beginning to freak out and started to break down. However, I felt blest God send me Patrik who made me feel so much better with his noble help! I felt really good after he obliged to help me out. I'm done doing precedence studies. I have all the information needed and I just need to translate everything on the final presentation sheet! I hope that I could finish half by tomorrow which would be brilliant! At least I let go of my burdens and felt so much better and could concentrate.
I thought yesterday's dance and singing session would help me release some stress but it was just short-lived. I'll pray harder! I am really tired of going to college everyday. It's such a waste of time especially during waitings! urgh! Okay, shall not whine anymore. Don't wanna be tagged the whiniest! Shall head to bed and work my ass of for 3 days! Good luck guys!
*it's 31st tomorrow! But no ice cream for me~ :(*
just let go
rum and raisins... strawberry cheesecake
I'm quite sick of listening to wrong interpretation of words in lectures. It's pretty annoying. At least get the facts right and not do us more confusion! (explains why many didn't pay attention in class..)
Okay! That is not the point. Does rum and raisins or strawberry cheesecake ring a bell? YES! It's the time again - 31st of the month. Baskin Robbin is having their oh-so-popular promotion again. I'm planning to quench my cravings and treat myself for being a good boy this week. I should right?
I miss my churchmates! I can't wait to see them again. Probably have to wait till Saturday. I'm currently trying to finish up the plan of the building in order to start doing the framing model. It's going to be another oh-so-many-assignments week again till the Interim Crit on Monday. Firstly, I need to get well from my illness - being lazy! I've been procrastinating for many many days already. I did my assignments partially at all times keeping them on hold whenever I don't feel like doing them. *smack myself twice* It's time to get up!!
I'm trying to fit my time properly and plan ahead though I am not a person who plans my stuff. I rejected 2 freelance jobs, one got postponed, one is on hold, three is coming up next month! I really hope I can cope with all these. What should I do? Hm.. Probably, will start thinking about it after my housemate's birthday celebration tonight at TreeHouse, Uptown. I just wanna shake it off tonight! My shoulder is getting heavier by the days and I really need to let go!
*It's time to get back to work again (dreadfully)*
it's yellow
"I'll pray for my friends"; was the phrase I wrote in my MSN. I realised that I'd been very busy this whole week and kept pushing myself into doing readings, writings, sketching and stuff. And yes, I'm such a whiner that I fretted about everything from A-Z about how assignments were killing me and how my time was so insufficient I barely had enough sleep. Well, here I am enjoying a big bowl of cereal topped with a mountain of mangoes and bananas trying to digest all the problems I was shared with yesterday.
Abba Father,
I pray that you help those who are worrisome, that their souls will be in peace and to have a more collected mind to face the day. I pray for those who are broken-hearted, that you plant a seed of love in them and make them realise that life doesn't revolves within one person or one particular issue. I pray for the sick, that their illness would be lifted up to you O Lord and that you take away their sufferings. I pray for the lost and found, that you give them strength to solidify their faith in you. I pray for myself O Lord, that you grant me peace of mind to be at most productive to square off all hurdles in my daily life!
I thank You Lord for the gift of persons, that You bless every single one of them.
Amen
*feeling contented*
Food cravings
My housemates went for JOGOYA!! and I can't join them as I have band practice for mass this weekend! I'm officially oh-so-busy~ With two huge submissions not far from sight, there are so many things to consider and decide. Honestly, it is giving me headaches every night and morning. Thus, to calm myself down, I made myself a hearty dinner to treat myself for being such a good boy last weekend! I made black pepper chicken stew with potatoes sided with garden salad. *yum yum* Oh! I had ham sandwich with scramble eggs for lunch though...
That sinful bites wasn't the end of my meal of the day. After band practice, the band members decided to go for mamak. Hell yea it's a cool mamak! They only serve rice dishes! URGH! So, cravings over discipline, I ordered Nasi Goreng Pattani. Urgh! That guilt of eating is so into me right now. Gotta take less calories tomorrow. *so bimbo right? he he he*
And these pictures just remind me of more cravings I am having right now.. hot chocolate.. Swensen's burger... Control! *mind's gonna blow*
I miss the hot choc in O' Briens...
And the chicken burger..^#%&*$^tears of joy?
Today's celebrations were in two contrasting colours.
I started my day today in church singing for Max and Andrea's holy matrimony. It was beautiful witnessing the couple blessed by God's presence and being called up by God to be together in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And to be part of the joyful celebration was just priceless. After the wedding mass, we were treated with a meaty galore buffet! Platter of ham, roasted pork, roast chicken, fish, prawns, yong tau foo; anything to make me salivate and overeat! I had my meal to the fullest and had a great time dancing and singing with the crowd. As we were eating, we're serenaded by a 60-something man who sang beautiful numbers mesmerizingly! It brought back memoirs as the songs he sang were songs of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. It was almost 4 when I went back with Amelia and Adeline to get myself changed and have a good rest before mass starts.
Mass was fine today minus the fact that I was late. I drove halfway to church to remember that I forgot to pick Christine and Jonathan up from their place. Urgh! Eventually, I had to make a U-turn back and was late. Regardless, it was so warm and nice giving and receiving hugs from church members as a sign of peace.
During dinner, we got a message from Cannis saying his mom passed on in the afternoon. The whole feeling turned sombre and it was pretty sad to hear that. So we decided to cut short the caroling practice and attend the wake @ the funeral parlour. We sang a song and recited the rosary. However, the dead's husband was joyfully jugging into his cans of beer. Regardless, it was obvious that the sadness in the eyes will betray a person's smile.
Condolences to the Rozario family~
Today I learnt one thing. Marriage is a start of a total new life which will end in death. As the saying goes '...till death do us part...', I believe that the death of a spouse is the beginning of another 'new life'. It's definitely not an easy task... wonder will mine be... ?
*tiba tiba emo duno for what!*
It's not by purpose
It had been a high and low month.
I would say many left their blog not updated for many many days.. Crazy week has been so crazy, I barely have time for myself and in addition to that, I have music practices, band practices, singing in the weddings and other church activities to get myself busy and work my days wholesome. I'm not complaining so please don't get me wrong.
I'm still busy. (in the midst of writing the dissertation with a writers block) I still will be busy. This blog lost its priority.
Looking on a brighter side, raisinsandrum.blogspot.com will undergo serious content refurbishment! :) Be sure to stay tune.. Aite? he he..
*let's finish my series before continuing the dissertation*
p/s : Happy Birthday Shu Yin! :)
