different

was just browsing through channels on the telly when i came across Jamie Cullum's version of Rihanna's Don't Stop the Music.

it's definitely different from the usual electronic beats.

have yet to decide whether i like it better than the original one or not since i'm not really a big fan of Jamie Cullum's voice. but neither do i find Rihanna's voice a pleasure to my ears.

what do you think?

=D

laughter!

wow.. reading everyone's blog with their inspiring posts makes me feel like i'm just rambling empty words on mine..

anyways, finals are in two weeks.. decided to take a break from the mundane studying..

i've just been thinking to myself that i'm so blessed to have found GREAT friends from church and outside of it.. 

honestly there have been some occasions where i feel pressured to come up with something REALLY funny because i want to see the people around me laugh and laugh with them.. [hahahah unfortunately, i'm not that good at coming up with something REALLY funny.. these days i like to just listen to people talk and observe them =)] but in uni, hahaha we laugh at things that aren't funny, things not said or things not shown.. sometimes we laugh at each other and ourselves.. we even laugh when some of us dont find it funny at all.. just seeing how the other person laughs is enough to trigger our giggles.. hahaha i love it that we laugh over the smallest thing just because we're all easily amused =) yes, it's true.. i am a laughing mess when i'm at uni.. heee =D

and it's not to say that i dont enjoy myself when i'm out of my circle of uni mates.. i do =D it's so interesting that i experience a variety of emotions when i'm with different groups of people. and i like it!

so Jess, Mun Teng, Li Chin, Cheryl, Wai Sum and Kar Wei, this is for you guys, for all the laughter shared! i hope we'll still be able to laugh like that when we've reached our higher semesters =) i love you guys!

i absolutely love this version

hahaha just watch the expression of the guy playing the guitar when he saw Celine Dion.. priceless ahahhaha =)

my friend Tom =)

oh my gosh! CHEERIOS is SOOOoooooo addictive.. i can grow fat on CHEERIOS! =D

thanks Sum for giving me a pack =)

i have interesting friends.. the whole lunch time at the cafeteria in uni, Tom was trying to irritate me about my failing the driving test -.- hahaha he'd start off by asking when my next test is.. then he took out HIS driver's license to BRAG show me.. and he happily announced that his P license expires on friday -.- hahaha yeap! that's Tom for you.. HAHAHAHA you know what? once when he was introducing himself to medic juniors he came across my friend called john, and he met his match!!! here's how it went..

tom (t) : hi juniors! *waves*
-juniors look up at him and wave back-
-john looks up, takes out the IMU pen (it looks like a syringe) puts on a punk face-
john (j) : do you want me to jab your butt with this?
-in cheryl's words, EPICCCC!!!!- HAHAHAHAHAH!
(he actually used a more crude word which i wont use)

and that's not all!! so Tom slightly taken aback and a little apprehensive but feeling forgiving, introduces himself..

t : my name is Tom *smile*
-the juniors politely introduce themselves in return-
-then came john's turn-
t : hi, my name's Tom
j : oh really!? where's Jerry?
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HILARIOUS man! when Tom told me this, i had to grit my teeth hard from bursting into laughter because we were in the library.. the funny thing is, he's actual name is Shin Tom.. so he could've avoided all that if he had just used Shin Tom instead of Tom. needless to say, Tom was really offended.. john got ragged in return.

i guess reading it and not actually seeing the expression on his face makes it less funny. but if you know him enough.. it was like the joker got served yo! hahahahah i'll post up a picture just so you can put a face to the name..

he actually wore he's prefect's uniform to uni because he'd pakat with his friends to do so.. and guess what? none of them wore theirs!!! AHAHAHAHA!wish i had more pictures of his less composed expressions to show you.. sadly, this is my only one..

ok gotta get back to more resaerching -.- going online has never been so mundane.. zzzz

i scored an A (WOOHOOOOO!!!)

PRAISE GOD FOR MY A IN FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING CLASS TEST 1!!!

aahhh.. happiness =) my first A in IMU

now i'm just waiting for my results for food culture and lifespan nutrition class tests.. they hold quite a huge percentage of my GPA.. 20% if i'm not mistaken.. hahhaha and it's only class test 1! gonna sit for class test 2 next week and the week after.. trying my best to stay cool and not stress out..

CHEERIOS has arrived on Malaysian shores ppl!! awesome-ness heee!

sleepy and running on a high right now.. gotta get back to the books.. toodles!

quick update

i'm reading John Piper's 'When I dont desire God : How to fight for Joy'. it's a really interesting book! Rose lent it to me like three months ago, but i've only really started reading it now.. i've barely gotten pass the first chapter because there's just so much to think about in the book.. here are some parts that really hit home :

"When I saw the truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him, I was free from the unbiblical bondage of fear that it was wrong to pursue joy."

"Only God can make the depraved heart desire God. Once when Jesus' disciples wondered about the salvation of a man who desired money more than God, he said to them, "With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God" (Mark 10:27)"

and so far the phrase that really hit me is the bolded text..

"I would like to help those who are beginning to see that salvation is the awakening of a new taste for God, or it is nothing."

wow.. i dont even want to elaborate on this because i think that the meaning of salvation is a personal belief unique to each individual.. for me, this is means so much =)

yeap so i think it'll take some time for me to finish this book.. but man, what a book for the season i'm in.. so apt..

ok now it's back to doing some more research for PBL.. i'll try to update more frequently now =)

much love!

driving test today was...

A DISASTER!

'nuff said, going again at the end of april =(

half of me feels lousy because i know i could've nailed it.. sigh.. i'm going to be depressed about this only till midnight.. if i dont get over it by then, please slap me..

just to cheer myself up =D this pic is hilarious!
