These few days have been quite epic. XD And my mind is still trying to come to terms with most of them.

First off, choir. I suppose I never quite understood why I always felt empty when I go for prolonged periods of "no choir practice this month". As of the moment, I believe I have skipped choir for a month, and including this month, makes 2 months, and I'm already edgy.

And when I went for the choir gathering yesterday, it was really overwhelming for me, emotionally.

First of all, I didn't realise my choir member stayed in my old neighborhood. It was the one I had all my fondest memories of my childhood, and it was extremely nostalgic to be back there. I really didn't know to laugh or cry. (I opted for laughter...) And for a moment, I really wanted to rewind time. To relive all those moments I had.

But I know, as I had moved on, so had everyone. Everyone would be different from what I remember of them. The old playground has been changed about 2 times since I left too. The little tykes I remember would be in JC or Poly by now, and everything would have changed so much...

And I just want to remember them as they were before.

Anyway, the choir gathering was really fun. We kept sabo-ing all our leaders to sing. So it became like a mini live-karaoke session. And I got to mix around with the youths of the choir. And they're a really fun bunch. And for a moment, I forgot about the world. About lab. About school. About everything.

And it seems, it was exactly that that I was looking for these few weeks. Ooo. And one of my choir members makes THE most AWESOME carrot cake EVER! I loved the cheese and I couldn't get enough of it. XD Why are all the best chefs/bakers all guys?! Sigh.

Anyway, I was really glad I went for it. I realised that when I saw them, suddenly, it's as if a part of me isn't empty anymore. And I didn't know it was empty until it was filled. A really odd feeling indeed.

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

Also, I went for service today and I just wanna get some ramblings off my chest, so sorry if they don't particularly make sense.

Somehow, when I was reading the passage, I was struck by a whole variety of thoughts.

That in the end, we're all trying so hard to be like Martha, when all God wants is for us to be like Mary. We're trying to do everything so well, make everything so perfect, scrutinize all those micro details, etc. and then claim we know God. When all God wants for us, is to listen. And obey.

And all you Pharisees, making up all those stupid laws and traditions for people to follow, thinking you are better than the rest, because you scrutinize the law of Moses and follow it to the letter. And then you claim that you know God best.

Hello. You foolish idiots couldn't even comprehend the people under your supposed care. And God is inifinite in his years of experience and knowledge. And you, a measly human, barely a century, dare to claim you know God? What suckers.

And when God himself came down as Man, you scorn upon him, saying he's a liar and cursed and etc. Why? Because he shattered your pathetic, fragile pride. Saying you know God. Wait a couple more centuries and I'll still doubt you'll have the capability to do anything like knowing God.

Anyway, the pastor shared a passage that sent me into laughter: John 9:24-30
The context of the story is that Jesus healed a blind man and the Pharisees, aka Jews, were interrogating him.

[Jews] to [No-Longer-Blind Man]: Give God the glory! We know that [Jesus] is a sinner.

[No-Longer-Blind Man]: Whether He is a sinner or not, I do not know. One thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.

[Jews]: What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?

[No-Longer-Blind Man]: I told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you want to heat it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?

[Jews]: YOU are His disciple, but WE are Moses' disciples. We know that God spoke to Moses; as for this fellow, we do not know where He is from.

[No-Longer-Blind Man]: Why, this is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where He is from; yet he has opened my eyes! ...

OMG. I applaud that guy. He was so sarcastic towards the Jews. I couldn't stop laughing when I was reading this. In those times, the Jews were like... The Mayors or the MPs, while the man was like... someone from a single-room flat. XD

Oh well. Those with noses too high in the air are bound to trip over their own feet.

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

Last of all, Cosfest. They have certainly expanded from when I first went to Cosfest. Btw, some random reporter from My Paper interviewed me, so please refrain from buying that paper for a while.

Anyway, that event has certainly grown... Though the cosplaying standards seem to have dropped...

The costumes are nice and all, but they aren't all there is to cosplay. And for some reason, most of the cosplayers I see don't quite seem to get that... Figure and looks are equally important too. (There's a reason why I don't cosplay...) For goodness' sake, if you look ugly as hell, no amount of costumes or make-up is gonna cover that... Especially if the character you're cosplaying is supposed to be very beautiful.

Not to say they're all bad. There are some really cute ones. And nowadays, there are more guys cosplaying too (maybe it's because more of them are working out and are more confident in their bodies... Seeing their costumes are sort of revealing)

And of course, the best female way to capture the lens of a camera. Wrap bandages around your chest, wear some long flowy pants, carry a fake sword and pose. All the male photographers will fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Another way is, to dress in a tight lolita dress or wear leather and look damn badass. It definitely captures attention too.

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

Ah. I think I've been hanging around Kyoya for too long. I'm becoming too cynical. XD

Back to the present?

Hey all!

I am officially an adult.

Who is still constantly mistaken as a secondary school kid.

And it is now officially legal for me to do everything I've been doing. XD

Thanks to the 4 lovely angels who wished me happy birthday, namely F, Kyoya, Yuki and Ochibi.

Actually, I wasn't really expecting anything, but today turned out to be really great after all.

We went to watch Super 8, which is really awesome. Haha! I particularly like the monster. And when he opened his eyes, HE IS SOOO CUTE!!! *ahem* I have odd taste, I know.

Then we went home and celebrated my birthday with a rather large summer tiramitsu cake. =^^=

It was actually quite funny. Cause my mom's friend baked it for me, and she baked 2 bowls of them.

My mom, dad, Zack and I all ate the first bowl and told Sam it was really nice. And mom wanted to use the second bowl as my birthday cake. Sam didn't know, and since he didn't get to eat the first, he cut up one slice of the second cake.

Haha! When my mom exclaimed to me someone had sliced a huge hole in my cake, I ordered the culprit to fess up. And Sam sheepishly raised his hand. XDDD Luckily, we were able to hide the hole with a chocolate bar my mom's friend made that said "Happy 21st Birthday".

Really, Sam.

Oh! And Sam today was damn epic. Cause Zack was telling us about the Noose (he's now hooked onto it), and how Barbarella was saying that her boyfriend would come, twice. And Sam gave us this confused look and said "Huh? How does he go to her house twice?"

I tell you, I nearly died of laughter. And told Zack, "The reason why it wasn't censored is because there will always be idiots like Sam." HAHAHAHA!

OMG. Sam. You. Best.

Hahaha! I have to tell this to Kyoya. XD

And I have concluded... I'll be wearing a bright orange dress for HK conference... Zzz. It's the only one I have that is considered formal... Other than dinner gowns... ZZZ!!!!!

I swear, I'll be like a freaking beacon. Ugh.

Anyway, it's late. And I need to sleep. So bye all!

Back to the present?

Ok. I've been having weird dreams and I wanna keep track of them before I forget them.

On Saturday night, I went to a charity event by my mom's friend. And the highlight of the night was I rode a Harley-Davidson! Whoo! It was epic!

*cough* that was just for remembrance purposes. *cough*

Anyway, at night, I dreamt that I was part of some gang. The opposite gang were the bikers (one of them was especially hot and I only remember him...) Anyway, most of the dreams been faded out. But what I remember most clearly was running and hiding in this secret chamber which is actually an icebox, which has a long tunnel which opens up to some POSB bank...

Epic, no?

Then from there on, we ran to our hideout. (Wherever it was...)

Other bits of the dream involve making a gun by melting batteries (like, what the hell?), and my mom finding the checkbook of the hot biker and trying to cash in some voucher...

And somehow, I ended up on the opposite gang with the bikers... Apparently, I was to be some sort of sacrifice to their secret weapon or something... I forgot. But I end up befriending them, only to realise they're not as bad as we thought they were.

Something about "We kill because, if we don't, they'll kill us" that's the sentiment of both sides, so I sort of told them "Then you just have to prove that you won't kill them, and they would realise the same thing".

Ah... I can only remember the dream in pieces now, so it probably sounds really weird.

And the second dream...

I can only remember climbing some smaller version of the eiffel tower. Apparently, it was some sort of challenge or obstacle course or something... Anyway, my goal was to remove the head of this really huge gorilla from its body.

I also remembered being completely owned by that stupid monkey and I suck at decapitation. Anyway, I forgot what happened, the gorilla was eventually beheaded, and I got stuck on the tower, cause I'm afraid of heights...

And there was this guy... Someone very familiar, that told me to jump and he would catch me. Giving me that nonchalant smile of his and just held out his arms. Initially I refused to jump, cause I was afraid he won't catch me, but... Somehow, he gave me this vibe, that he would.

And I jumped.

And yeah, he caught me. But I woke up straight after that.

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

That guy... He was so familiar, now that I think about it, because I used to dream about him in primary school. (Yes, I forgot all about him) But I've never met him before though... Only in my dreams (and part of me is inclined to believe I made him up). He's a rather laid-back sort of guy, but, reliable.

Anyway, dreaming about him again is sort of nostalgic.

And now, back to reality... Sigh.

Back to the present?

Ugh. I've been pretty busy these few weeks...

Research is getting more interesting, though I wish I don't have to travel 3 FREAKING HOURS for... 1 hour(?) of lab... Totally not worth it. But I need to know the procedure and stuff...

Today, of course, I skipped lab. Too sian already. And I more or less know what it involves anyway. HS demo for us before, and I still remember pieces of it.

Psych is fun as always, but I've been so tired lately, I can't quite enjoy the lesson as much as I want to.

And I'm getting addicted to my new RPG game, The Chronicles of Inotia 3: Children of Carnia. It's a really fun game, and (of course), people dying left right and centre. XD And there are lots of quests to do (which I love), so I've been sort of playing it non-stop whenever I can. Sadly, only Inotia 3 is available on iPad. The rest is on iPhone. Zzz.

Though I've been neglecting my duty as a cell admin, and forgetting to fill in all the attendance lists... Zzz... Personally, I don't care whether the members are coming for cell. It's your religion, you should take responsibility for it... But the church wants to know how frequent you have been going to church, how many times you attended church this month, etc. Zzz... Logistics, I'm starting to hate you...

Sigh... And I'm getting all my dates mixed up. For one, I thought this week was next week... Zzz. Can't wait for next week though. YUKI IS COMING OVER!! WHOO! And I'm really excited about it...

Speaking of which, I have to meet Ochibi soon (hopefully, tmr) to check something out...

Also, No. 3 on my Missing List is fast becoming my eye-candy... XD Though I doubt he realise it (And I sort of hope he doesn't)...

Sigh. Sorry, my thoughts are jumping all over the place.

Anyway, I HAVEN'T EATEN LUNCH. So this is it for now.

Ja~!
