I am COLD.

Greetings

It is cold.

It is very cold.

It is very very cold.

It is.. (you get the drift) COLD

Also cause i left the house in board shorts and a thin t-shirt. To cap it off, i left my jacket in the car for much of the night.

But it was an eventful night. Petulance was pretty much the order of the day.

I messed up, but thankfully things are all well again.

It's nice when you have someone to call back home when you're in need. But it gets abit painful when the bill comes around. Oh well, you can't put any value on such things.

Have A Nice Day

White Paper

Happy Birthday to me...






























































































...Y'know its almost a lie to be ecstatic turning 20 when you've got an exam on your birthday. Darn Construction paper to which i haven't studied for.

Notice the long blank above? I like to think of it as starting over with a fresh sheet of paper with more stories to write great or small (I ripped the idea of a Coke ad a couple of years back.).

On the bright side, Shu-Wen baked me a mint chocolate cake and my parents embraced technology. They brought a cake to the webcam, lit its candles and sang me a birthday song. I was touched=)

Shu-Wen's cake had 20 written in chinese! A language she vaguely comprehands. So thts majorly impressive, but her cakes are to die for. At least for me.. But seriously, they are good.

It's been good so far. Can't complain except for the blasted paper.

Anyways,

Have A Nice Day.

The holidays end tonight.

Hello!

So its been ages since i've updated. But then again, i doubt i receive any readership here other then the occasional visit from the girlfriend=)

It's finally getting cold, the forecast for the next few days will be muggy. Good i suppose, i actually like this sorta weather.

Easter came and went. And so did Easter camp up at Ern Halliday in Hillary's. That was fantastic, and it provided a perfect opportunity to brave a trip despite the effects of a stomach flu. I was practically puking everything i ate.

But I kept to bread and light stuff, so it was all good. Camp was also the first time i played drums in Zion! And i realy enjoyed myself, despite making heaps of mistakes but it really did feel good.

I was so nervous when i got there, imagine being told what songs to play an hour before practice. And they played Time Has Come! arghhh!! I was a bundle of nervous going on the first run that i dropped my sticks twice. Drummers just don't do tht =/

But what i did was pray, I prayed that God would remind me and teach me that worship is never about how well or how bad i'm gonna play. Not even if i mesh well with the rest of the band cause at the end of the day, i can be playing like Dennis Chambers but without God it'll never be worship.

That prayer helped, I didn't feel so nervous and was able to just enjoy the whole experience.

Yay!

There are just so many things i wanna say but i just can't put them in words.

But things are going well now. Looking back just a couple of months i don't think i would have envisioned myself living the way i am now. Undeniably, I have everything i could ask for. I feel loved=)

Have A Nice Day.

Come to Class Joe.

You know how one minute you're so pumped up over something the next momment you feel like a complete fool?
























This is one of those times.

I really shouldn't feel that way if i were to put this in perspective but i feel i should have known better. So i got my Lancer, the car i set my eyes upon since i started looking for cars here in WA. I thought i'd take things slow and wait for the best deal, exhaust every possible avenue before committing. Sadly, naivety and anxiety took its toll.

So much for being composed in every dealing.

I took the car in to Unc. Kai today for another checkup on the radiator. Turns out it was functioning well and the apparent leak was just down to excessive coolant being pured into it. He pop and uncrewed a few stuff and found that the car was involved in an accident but the repair work was pretty well done. Filters, radiators, and a few other stuff we're new so no complaints there.

I felt pretty happy zipping along in it until i met John earlier did i uncover the truth behind my seller. Turns out he's a pretty shrewd car dealer himself. Pffft.. All that bullshit about wanting to recover some cost for his mom.

Feeling pretty bummed out now tho knowing that i could have possibly driven the price lower then what i got it for. But I realise thats what i don't have. A shrewed bargaining ability.

On the bright side, another lesson learnt.

But it just goes to show how much one can learn in such a short span of time. It's eye opening to see the way people go about conducting themselves and doing the things they do.

To some people, money does grow on trees just cause they know how to grow them. Others, well.. will just need to learn.

I, am one of those who needs to learn more.

The carefree lifestyle i currently lead needs to stop, I need to resolute myself to achieve more.













Whoever said education was free?

LancaHHhh..

My search for a car has finally come to an end.

And i'm happy.




I bought a 1999 Lancer GLi Coupe. Although it was over the budget, but the car does drive and feel really good so i'm very happy.

i feel like adding some alloy rims to it cause the car looks so bare, but i'm too broke for tht now. My next target is to get a Wii=)

haha..

Have a good easter break.
