It's been a busy month. Can't believe that I havent found time to really blog properly. I got some big news within this month, I thank God for that :DOn a random day, Elaine and I worked in the Science library. Haha. She's a wonderful friend, totally admire the gifts God has put in her life. Love the way she plays the keys so wonderfully. She's been a great company, pleasant to talk to, and always always reminds me to bring God into any circumstances. Anyways she's admiring my sketches I had to do for one of my modules. Haha.
My first attempt - it's so obvious that I can't play cello. I like it a lot because I always think that cellists are so graceful :D I'm trying. I'm trying. Hopefully I can learn something solid frm Ruoxin. Haha!On a random night, I saw some fire fighters downstairs through the windows. As a true Malaysian, I ran downstairs to kaypoh to find out what's going on. So apparently one of the walls beside the lift caught on fire. Reasons unkown. The police actually didnt allow me to take pictures of the crimescene. Damn.This was taken during a tutorial of GEK1054, Music In Global Context. One of the modules which I love a lot. I always have fun during the tutorials because we get to play the instruments. YAY! That week's tutorial was about Indonesian music. We played the kompang.During the International Student Festival, In-Fusion, I got myself a henna again. The girls are really cool, I probably can't draw anything like them :o
On a beautiful Saturday morning, Amy and I went for a golf crash course. I love it! Ok, you can't see the golf ball in this picture, because it flew really far away! YAY!! Haha!The trio. Amy was the best performer that day, and she won her.elf 3 golf balls.
We had to do video shooting for one of our projects. These are 2 friends from another group. It's the semi-pro video camera that we're using ;p
Mbira. It's an african musical instrument. It's sound is amazing, I really love it. Wished I own one of these. My lecturer is good at playing that. It reminds me a lot of Mermaid. You can listen to how it sounds like here- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0PBBtsAAVc&feature=channel
We celebrated Ome's birthday during one of our caregroups. It was a great time ;)
Okay beautiful ones, I know I owe you guys these photos. I will try to send you guys the photos as soon as possible. Haha!Oh and I worked really hard on this project work too! It's a boardgame we designed for one of our module, NM3216, Game Design. Yes, it's finally done! I had a great time working with the other 3 girls. They are amazing. The 2nd project is gonna be so much tougher where we have to create a computer game. We have to use an opensource called Blender, which runs so slow on Leopard. Ah god, I hope that Apple will fix the damn OpenGL bug before we start working on this project. But I think it's highly impossible.
One more highlight of the month- Emerge Concert @ Lunar! Yes, it's the annual highlight of Voices. We had much fun performing. Okay, please ignore my makeup. The makeup artist was a little too cruel to me :s
I've got more to talk about! But I need my beauty sleep now. Haha! ;p

Yay!

The past week has been tremendously awesome.
Havent had time to write much about it, but I'll definitely post them up as soon as I can!

God has been unfairly good. I'm just so amazed yet again by His love grace :)
Meanwhile, I've got a great amount of work to deal with. I'll conquer them one by one. He is the strength and wisdom that I need :D

Well, actually the day didnt start quite well. I overslept - missed a group discussion and I took a cab to school. It's freaking $6! Oopppsss.. Anyways, on the way to school, I kept praying and confessing Daddy God's favor, hopefully my groupmates wont kill me because, I already missed the 1st discussion. Hehe ;p

I have to use Blender for one of the projects, and I realized that Blender runs ultraly slow on Leopard, it's some random OpenGL bug in Leopard apparently. I guess I have to figure a way out. Other than that, classes were really fun today, particularly enjoyed NM2208 tutorial and GEK1054 lecture a lot a lot today! ;p

6 hours of classes, 1 hour of cheesecake, and spent 4 hours getting an assignment done.
It's quite a fulfilling day! ;)
Oh another thing to thank God for - His provision. I have a really cool studymate this semester. He is a really nice friend, and has been helping me quite a bit since school started - he has to keep reminding me about the deadlines and all, because I am just so forgetful! Haha ;p

As I'm preparing to settle down and start planning for the semester (yes, only settling down, haha!), I am amazed by the deadlines that I've got this semester!

God, you really have to bring me through. Dektos. Dektos. Dektos. Dektos X 100.
(Are you reading this God? :/)
I really don't know how else can this semester be great if it's not for my Lord's strength frm heaven.
But I am certain that I will go through the semester, with such a supernatural manner, and then I will look back and say, my God has been gracious to me :)
It will be victorious, for the child of God doesn't settle for anything lesser than GREAT. YES!

Bring it on baby!

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now He who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be the glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, AMEN!

It has been a great break, despite the fact that I had to rush for submission on the eve. Another festive about thanksgiving, and love. I totally love the times spent with my families, many many cousins, frm all over, some of whom I hadnt seen for over a year now. It's a blessing that all of us can come together again under one roof. Like Elaine said, it's great that the tradition is being upheld.

7 families frm my dad's side, 5 familes frm my mom's side, my godmummy's, babysitter's, and then friends, friends, friends.

I shall pen it down before my memories fail me ;p

I was welcomed back to Penang by the wonderful creation of God :) It's captured at about 7.20am by the Juru tol which I alighted frm the coach back to Penang. Almost forgot that Penang can be that beautiful ey.
My first get-together, it's with my ex-classmates back in high school. We get together once a year, and this year, we've broken the record with an amazing attendance of 26/30. Certainly hope that it'll be even greater for the years to come.7 girls got together for the first time after 3 years. I'm glad that we are back in touch with Ruying especially.
We always go watch a movie together with the cousins during Chinese New Year. We watched CJ 7 last year, and this year, we watched Red Cliff 2. It's a good movie, but it was a stressful movie for me. Because every scene in the movie reminds me of a project that I have to do for one of the modules that I'm taking, it's about special effects. Haha!
So this is my cousin (on the left) who looks so much like my elder brother! Both of them are of the same age, and we always thought that they were twins. Hehe ;p
Blessed Chinese New Year!
