As mentioned in my previous post, I went to The Curve today. Wow! Borders has so totally replaced MPH, man. It's way better and I've got so many books on my list now. Tho I didn't buy any, cos I only checked 'em out by way of attraction, so I don't really knw if it's worth it and commended or anything. And Chuan Keat didn't giv me any recommendations. T_T Haha.
Being in Borders has reminded me once again tht I really LOVE books. It feels so nice just standing in between bookshelves, especially when I hve the whole row to myself. Hehe. Books are such amazing things. They transport you to another place eventho you're still in the place you were in the beginning. But the only book tht could transform your life would be the Bible. It's the only one! Surely you've read a book, so full of suspense and action but after you read tht chapter, your life doesn't change or anything. It's still the same. Hehe. And of cos, textbooks which we students are subject to study for the nxt 3 yrs or so of our life definitely DO NOT change our lives - well, it just makes it more miserable.
The magazines there are so much better, so says Mum. And I found out something. Hallmark has got to be the place for gifts and souvenirs! The stuff by Hallmark, especially Angel At Hearts are awesome. Magnets are less boring, cards don't say much anymore... Yes, Hallmark is pricey, but they convey a lot in just a gift. Hehe.
Oh yeah, today was the 3rd time I entered a BodyGlove shop. I've always been put off by 'em cos, if you rmb in my June 8th post, the salesppl follow customers like mice is attracted to cheese. Lol. But I guess the outlet in The Curve is pretty tuned down, mayb cos the store isn't all tht big. So, there was this shirt tht I was aiming for since my b'day shopping trip, and I found it there. But they only had S and L. Today I'm heading for Pyramid on a mission to buy my first BodyGlove product. Hahaha.
In The Curve was whr I found the first store selling Etnies stuff. So happy! Evrytime I think Etnies, it reminds me of Desmond and "Grind" - the film on skateboards whr I first saw the Etnies brand. Man, Desmond, hve you been in Zone 5 before? There was two pairs of flip-flops tht caught my eye. One was RM49 and the other RM79. Both are nice, so I'll see which one I might get after the Topshop flip-flops I hve falls apart or sumthing. Lol.
My bro got a non-permanent/airbrush/fake tattoo on his right upper arm two weeks after I got mine. Hahaha. Ironic. His looks lik the Sly Cooper logo. If you guys played tht on PS2 before. Lol. Mine is still there, at least it's worth RM15, right? Wei Shern must be sighing already. Hehe. Anyway, I ate at KimGary's restaurant. I seriously hve a thing for HK food. They're lik fusion food tht looks strangely enticing and tastes equally delicious. Hehe. But this neighbouring table was so annoying. They kept on staring at us. Yeesh. Lik, what is the prob? However, I did not let tht bother me as much cos I was indulging myself in my fave Milo Ice Blended. AH~ Wonderful. Haha. The last time I ate at KimGary's was on my b'day whr Wei Shern fell sick after tht. Lol. So weak lah his stomach. Me and Mervy were absolutely fine.
In the end, I got a bookmark frm Borders tht costs RM17.90! Lik, so expensive for a bookmark, ya knw. But it's really nice. It says, "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow," and suits sumone lazy lik me to encourage me to continue reading The Power of a Praying Teen cos I use it for tht book. And my bro got me an "Arctic Monkeys" badge frm Rock Corner. More lik, I chose it for myself cos there was ntg else he liked. Now it decorates my pencil case. Hehehe.
Still, 1U remains my fave shopping mall, cos The Curve is kind of empty, but I lik empty places, no crowds. Haha. But 1U is still the best!

What A Week
The hols are coming to an end. Man, what a relief! I'm missing skl awfully. N I've realized it's not cos of frens or studies (definitely not tht, of cos, haha) but it's cos when I'm doing my daily devotion, there's no way for me to be able to share it wit anyone cos I don't leave the hse so I don't meet anyone tht I'd hve the opportunity to share wit. So I'm really missing skl, cos it's more lik a platform to be used, if u get wat I mean.
Anyway, this whole week has been filled with burger Ramly, Slurpee & Maggi Mee. Haha. But I've pretty much accomplished nothing intellectually beneficial. Except today, whr I hve at last completed my Geography project. Wei Shern came over around 330 PM to help me. He helped last yr too. So, we finished in one day. He made up all the ppl. Actually, they weren't fake. Sum were real. Cos he put in his frens whom I dunno at all. Then we also put Ee May! Haha. You're aged 27 and a chef at the corner restaurant. LOL! Wei Shern's idea. But this proves tht we still rmb u always. Haha. Then he drew the map for my hse.
The whole day I was txt-ing Chuan Keat, who seems to be real free this week. I'm sure when skl begins, he'll be as busy as ever! OK, tmrw I'm going to The Curve to visit Borders. Heard it's awesome. Let me find out for myself. Hmm, so this week is coming to an end. N I didn't really do much. Wasted my days watching anime. I'm so gonna turn into a part-time otaku. Haha. Oh well.
Also, thx to Ah Kym Bo for making me loved Hillsong United all over again! Man, I'm so hooked on 'em. It's almost the only thing I hear on my iPod Mini now. Haha.

36 the Musical
OK, so Friday night marked the first day of the 36 Musical Drama Evangelistical Youth Night thing. Haha. Friday's turnout was less than expected, luckily I wasn't ushering on Friday, else it'd be pretty boring. So, tht night's msg was more laidback and relaxed, and there were sum minor glitches in the musical and others. For example:
i) Jonathan switched on the light when Nadia was abt to change
ii) Joshua said "Mum, whr's Mich?" instead of "Mich, whr's Mum?"
iii) Majority thought tht the drama was hanging at the end
Apart frm tht, it was a great performance.
Saturday night, I arrived at 715 PM. It was a huge letdown cos most of my frens said they couldn't make it. But it was also a huge surprise when my best fren appeared! =D Then, Lyon arrived. Yay! Lyssa was holding my bag, which was pretty empty cos I took evryting out. So, me and Wei Shern (ushers - especially bad at PR skills) were trying to take this opportunity to open up! Lol. Brian was lik, "Smile lah, usher." Haha.
During the musical, I sat beside Jolene. Then, when the msg began, I changed place to sit with Lyon. He's so tall and it seemed difficult cos he bent forward, leaned, bent forward. Haha. And what were you doing with your hands? Lol. Sadly, Amanda couldn't make it. T_T Couldn't take any nice pics, cos video-ing the drama took lots of space. But I deleted it cos Han really took the video poorly. Haha. I took sum pics with Lyon, but unfortunately, Lyssa has to be the worst photographer! Lol. Her hand is SO shaky.
Mr Lian is a great speaker. On Saturday night, it was a more serious msg. And the turnout was strong! Praise the Lord! Hopefully, we'll hve more evangelistical events planned in future.
It's been the norm tht we all adjourn to a certain mamak. So, nearly the entire church went to the Esso mamak. We needed 8 tables, and not only us, there were others sitting elsewhr too. Lik, the PKGH group took around 5 tables, and we (KGH & KJGH) took 8 + 3 [beside us but not joined]. There was this waiter who came around and set sumting on the table tht looked lik sum blended thing. Ser Young was, "Apa ini?" The Indian fellar said, "Ai cha-klat." D'you knw wat tht is? It's ICE CHOCOLATE! Lol. For those of you who figured it out when I wrote ai cha-klat, you're very bright. Haha. So funny lah! Wit the Indian accent and the hand gesture summore.
Me & Mei Er wanted to stay over at Boon Hoy's but he was lik, "NO GIRLS ALLOWED!" Haha. Then Nadia asked me over, but my dad don't lemme spend the night at Kym's hse. Sigh! But nvm.
Before we left for the mamak, I was all, "Don't worry! I'll make it to worship tmrw." And I didn't turn up. Haha. Mei Er & Wei Shern kept on saying I'm lebih. But, my eyes really couldn't open. Now so tired, cos just now went to play captainball at the Chetty field. It was so hot! So much for inaccurate weather forecasts for Klang - specifically. Haha.
Oh yes, btw, Wei Shern, thx for the book and albums you borrowed me. I'm planning to study Power of a Praying Teen to grow as a Christian. Hehehe. Any devotion book recommendations? I'm currently using Ignite Bible Bits. Feel free to leave comments on your recommendations, not on the tagboard, pls. TQ! OK, signing out.

Ws, Riceballs, Electronics & iPods
My day was - and will be - filled with the above subjects. OK, first, I returned to skl after not being around y'day. When I arrived, I saw Ching on the floor. She started scolding me for skipping skl y'day, cos then the meeting had to be cancelled. Haha, sry! Sooner no longer (haha, Chew Yong's words) Angel came. Three of us sat at those tables for studying in the kantin lama. We started talking abt friends n stuff. Angel said tht out of all her friends (in general lah, sort of) I understood her the most. Heehee. I feel honoured.
After tht, when skl began, Lin Kee showed me the onigiri (Jap riceball)'s tht she brought. Me and Ching took a random pick n ended up with both same: carrot. But it tasted more lik porridge than rice (tho porridge cums frm rice, both differ). N there was only two pieces of carrot in it! Haha. Then, I had another one in class during Moral period. It was more lik I was just holding it, cos I planned to eat it on the way to class when we returned to 2H. So I was waiting outside the staffroom holding my half-opened onigiri. Mr Teh was behind me n I didn't realize. Chew Yong was pointing, then I turned, gasped n covered my riceball. But Chew Yong said he saw it, cos he was tiptoe-ing n looking over my book which covered the onigiri. True! When skl ended, he was walking the opposite direction past us. Lin Kee said, "Bye, Sir," n he asked, "How was the sushi?" I didn't hear, I heard, "How was the sushley?" Lin Kee turned to me n said, "Haha, he asked how's the onigiri." I looked at her quizzically, then realized what she said. When I turned to look at Mr Teh he was still watching us, n he laughed when I half-smiled, half-laughed.
Btw, our Living Skills session was on electronics. Had to pasang the stuff lah. Obviously, I did very little. Lin Kee n Yan Teng was bending and arranging my LEDs n wayar pelompat. Hehe. Pn Nadiah cried in class. Yep, "garang-garang pun menangis kan," she said.
At last, my sis gave me her iPod Mini before she left for the States y'day T_T She actually gave me her iPod Mini, u knw? Cos my Shuffle went for repair (my bro's too) n Jo's ended up spoilt n mine got fixed. So I'm passing my Shuffle to Jo n Che gave me her Mini. Yay! I love her! Haha. Not only cos of tht lah. Tonight Ko will reformat it for me. Hope he returns early. So, tht's my day today. Reminder: Thursday got club meeting. Do not miss this time, Amanda!

8 hrs at MVM
As u all knw, today my ensemble got performance in MVEC so I hve to be at Mid Valley Megamall. I was there frm 1 PM to 9 PM! Cos my bro's guitar ensemble got pushed back to 8 PM so we had to stay. My goodness! Dah lah my feet aching. Sigh. N our string ensemble performance was so not happening. They didn't knw we'd need microphones. C'mon! Of cos we'll need 'em. It's a performance, for crying out loud. Anyway, we got our mics after Brandenburg. Tht's a relief. Luckily, they didn't ask us to replay Brandenburg. I'd mess up worse.
The Music of the Night was OK OK. But me and Ee Lyz couldn't hear Violin I frm the other end (whr Violoncello was situated). The teacher, who sat beside me and plays the viola, said she could only hear the cello, and couldn't hear the first violinists. Understandable, tho, cos me and Ee Lyz were right beside her.
Yesterday was better. Ee Lyz started the beat and I was so lost! I didn't even see her give a signal. She looked at me and realized I wasn't following. Then, I dunno what happened. Eventually, the violinists joined in when they saw me and Ee Lyz plucking, so, yeah. Tht appealed more to the audience. News was the only song tht was clear was Yesterday. Man!
Chinese Takeaway, which was s'posed to be done really well, kind of got scattered all over the place. The cellists (both of us) missed the beginning and only started at A. Also, the melody part disappeared too. Haha. We pretty much spoiled the whole thing for ourselves. But we had fun. Now I've gotta buck up for the 2nd Sept. performance, which is rumoured to be really formal formal (note the repetition) in a hotel. Right.
After tht, the skl treated us to McD's. Blah blah blah. Then me, Ee Lyz, Leena & Mee Wei went window shopping. We were observing biker chicks and biker guys. U knw biker chicks who are Malay girls who wear all black, really gothic make-up and sharp spikes round their necks lik dogs? N the biker guys are Malay fellars who wear nerdy tops and jeans which flare at the thighs (which is super-weird) and wrap around a little above the ankle, which makes them look unusual. Quite a number of 'em. Sum with huge sunglasses and dangling bling-bling too. Lol.
Oh, and before I forget, I bumped into Cheng Jin near the GSC cineplex. What a surprise, man! He was lik, "Hey, Amanda!" Then he waved. "What're you doing here?" "Cheng Jin! I hve a performance here." I gestured to the three others who were so blur. "Flute?" "No, cello. Flute is Su Yin lah." "Yah! Haha." "Mmhmm. OK, bye!" "Bye!" And he went off. Lol. Brief conversation but what a huge surprise! He's sure gotten more good-looking then before. Haha. Ee Lyz, Leena & Mee Wei were lik, "Oh, oh." U knw lah, frens are always lik tht. Doesn't matter tho.
When my frens left for PJ adi, and I was still stuck in MV, my elder bro, Jack took me to Haagen-Dazs. Ah, it was the first time I'm tasting Haagen-Dazs ice cream. I ordered Strawberry Cheesecake which is my fave even for Baskin Robbins. Having three scoops of ice cream: Strawberry Cheesecake, Rum Raisin & Macadamia Nut [shared with my bro] it cost RM28.55! Wow! N the scoops were darn tiny, I tell u. But I guess it's standard for a brand lik this.
Now I'm back and am so tired. Hope I hve enough energy when I'm in worship tmrw. OK, I'll stop here. Signing out~

Intricate Complication
It has happened again. Man, and I was being so nice. I don't get it. If sumone doesn't tell u anything, then how do they expect u to understand them? Yeesh. But, there's a bright side. It was exhilarating! Now I'm thinking I should've waited. Then again, I hve no patience to stand and embarrass myself. After all, I lepaskan geram on Teng adi when we played badminton. My right arm aches. Oh no! I forgot to do warm down, and I'm having my dinner in front of the monitor. Sei foh! Hang on.
***
OK, I hope I did enough. Haha. I really did the warm down, in case u're thinking I'm joking. Anyway, back to the "Intricate Complication". This is so twisted. Btw, Sakai, sry I couldn't break with u. Had to handle what I handled. Lol. I told my friends abt it cos, u knw, they can tell when sumthing's happened. Besides, me jumping, groaning, and rapping my knuckles on the desk incessantly must've said it all. Then, they came to a conclusion: I was not at fault, but it might appear so frm the other perspective. Tho, logically, there would be no reason for such complicated upset-ness towards me. Haha.
It might not end well this time. But I guess it's a chance for me to see how far I can manage without. After all, I've been thinking abt such an opportunity. Might as well take it.
Now, abt P.E. lesson this evening. I didn't lepas geram on Teng lah. I lepas geram on the shuttlecock using my racket! Obviously... Swt... Haha. Then before going back, Puvanaes came to me and said, "I saw sumthing amazing today." I looked at her quizzically. She went on to explain tht she saw a certain classmate receiving instructions frm me to pick the shuttlecock which I, receiving a bad hit frm Teng (haha, OK lah, it was my fault too, I shouldn't've hit it knwing exactly what d outcome would be). I feel so bad cos it's Ahdesya's. But it was really worn out, broken feathers and stuff, therefore I shall explain to her with heartfelt regret =D Really, Puvanaes is just kua cheong-ing. I don't hate her anymore [I don't mean Puvanaes, I mean who Puvanaes is talking abt, if u don't already knw]. I just don't talk to her. Maybe I should. But I dunno how to begin. So let's put tht aside first.
So, today I learned how to say "Urp... !" in 3 diff ways, and I'm gonna torment u with it, Angel! One thing I can look forward to tmrw is the Thursday meeting of the Club of W's. Yay! Tht is whr we're gonna play 007 Bang! and I shall go "Urp... !"-ing to annoy Sakai. Hehe.
That's all lah. But I remind myself once again, the only one I need is You... thru it all~

Past Few Days
This is one of those boring posts with no particular highlight being the driving point of said post.
Anyway, y'day I had another one of those fights (which I'm so used to, but will be over before I knw it). Man, how can I compensate for how I explained it? Forget tht la, evryting'll be fine. Can't be communication-less for too long, after all. Just hve to wait. But I'm OK... as always.
So, there was also the Club of W's, um, 2nd or 3rd meeting? I had assam laksa n it's not bad. Shared with Angel (Weirdo #6 aka Sakai) cos, well, she asked. N she had a sore throat, but being the kind person I am (haha, self-flattery, helps increase self-esteem) I still let her eat mine. Outcome: I am down with sore throat now. Eating lots of Fisherman's Friend Apple & Cinnamon, the only flavour I lik. There's s'posed to be another meeting today, but Weirdo #2 aka Vain is unwell. We shared lotsa food: keropok, biscuits, tart. N I made Sakai hold lotsa stuff for me. She said tht "friend" n "servant" r diff. Not apparent to me tho. LOL. Jkjk.
Other things this week is a performance in Mid Valley's exhibition hall at 1430 hours (lol, 230 PM). Ah! I hve to buck up, man. Practiced twice, and I'm still a bit slow at Brandenburg. Hve to sit beside the teacher summore, cos Ee Lyz get's the outer hand. Ugh! But I luv Chinese Takeaway, so easy, and so's Yesterday. Yin Shi, pls join the ensemble again! ='( My cello strings r turning green, lik dragon scales. LOL. Really, Ee Lyz always covers up for me when I'm lost. Haha. N luckily we're not playing Canon. Imagine, the same 8 notes for over 5 mins. Suicide, man.
The music exam last Thursday was alright. Messed up twice, but apart frm tht, did OK. However, Chew Yong, Lin Kee, Puvanaes & Lavenya spread the news tht I was admitted to hospital (specifically, according to Puvanaes, Pantai Medical... what, man!) Appears my leg has turned into a serious case, n the day before we played badminton, n my hold on the racket made my hand all red, n I called it blood, so Chew Yong said tht I'm admitted cos of my hand too. Seriously. N when skl ended I got text-es frm classmates asking me which hospital I'm in (I tot they knew?) n how m I keeping. Hahaha. I feel so bad and came clean the nxt day.
Well, tht's abt all. At least there's sumting to read now.

Good Day
God has blessed me wit a better day than y'day. Sure, I got sum stares today. Ching aka "Vain" (hoho, weird buddy) n Ee Von came over to ask me y I was standing y'day. I explained, n they said I looked really scary. Oh well, I'm getting tht a lot. Anyway, after tht, during Maths class, Mr. Choo came back, n he looked at me n said, "Y? Wat's wrong wit u? Amanda?" Then when I gav him sign the BKK, I told him. He was lik, "Wanna sue a not?" I said, "Yes. My brother n ur son can b my lawyers." Haha. Tht's cos his son n my bro studied together in UWE in UK, blah blah blah.
During BM lesson, En. Yarha also asked me, "Kenapa berdiri semalam?" I had to tell him my story. Then he said, "Saya terkejut." Cos of seeing me stand la. After tht was English, n Pn. Pari called Chew Yong in front. I knew I wud b nxt, but I wasn't exactly worried, cos I had sumting else to focus on: Lavenya! U knw, I fell into the drain (n had a taste of those pokey plants) n got both legs hurt. Man! Y'day n today, Lavenya n Lin Kee hve been taking turns to urut me wit Chew Yong's minyak kapak. I've been shouting n goin, "Ai-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya" and "Har har!" Not laughing, tht's jus how I sounded when it's really pain, n I go "Ai-ya... " when it's abt to be really pain. LOL!
OKOK, abt Pn. Pari. Then, she called me after Lavenya applied Savlon antiseptic cream (she put so much!) Here's the conversation:
Pn. Pari (PP): What happened y'day?
Me: I was passing sumting to Chew Yong n Pn. Khairiah saw us.
PP: Wat were u passing?
Me: Liquid paper.
PP: U couldn't keep it urself?
Me: I knew I had to go in front for the Spelling Bee thing so I didn't want it to be visible whr I hid it so I gav it to Chew Yong (I said this real fast so she wouldn't hear the "whr I hid it" part =P)
PP: OK. N u didn't keep it in ur bag?
Me: I took it out. (Wat a lame answer! If it's not in my bag, then obviously I took it out, rite? Aih. I'm so illogical sumtimes.)
PP: Mmm... [Looks at my leg as I bend down to check on the cream] How's ur leg?
Me: It's OK. But standing y'day kind of put a toll on it. (This is so true! Lavenya said my leg really changed colour after standing for 35 mins y'day. Oh oh, skl abuse!)
PP: I didn't understand why they had to make u two stand. Actually, I didn't realize u both were there. N she (DP) had to call all the prefects to stand behind to make it more obvious. (I so did not realize tht DP did tht, cos evryone was whispering "Spotcheck... ") I've spoken to her before to not ask students to stand. It would jus demotivate them. I mean, tell me, out of so many students, only u all were talking? There's almost 600 students, n I can say tht almost half of them - 300 - were talking. Sum in front also I saw them chatting.
Me: Yeah, true. In fact, I was shocked also when she called me. I didn't tink tht I had to stand. N when I came to skl, a few ppl were looking at me. Sigh.
PP: I was shocked too. Cos u r good girls. I was very sad tht they asked u to stand. When I went home also I was tinking tht tmrw when u girls cum back to skl, surely u will feel embarrassed n receive many stares. But nvm them.
Me: Well, actually, I was afraid tht I'd be disappointing u. It's lik, 2H has a bad name already...
PP: [Cuts in] No, don't tink tht. I'm sure all the teachers knw tht u r good girls. I'll make sure they knw tht u r good girls. (I wonder how... (".) But, Amanda, jus forget it. She's the discipline teacher. Out of so many students, she chose to pick u all as examples for the others. Wrong examples.
Me: [Nod, nod, nod]
PP: Take this as a challenge to show tht u're better than this. Don't feel tht cos u had to stand, then u're no good already. When u leave this skl at Form 5, get straight As n walk out wit dignity.
Me: [Nod, nod, nod] (Wat was I to say, anyway?)
PP: Chew Yong, cum here. (Chew Yong shuffles uncertainly) [Then Pn. Pari repeats wat she said to me abt the dignity thing, n looks at me as she says this, then Chew Yong looks at me expectantly] ("Wat?" my face says) Now, girls, u go back to ur seats. [Gets up, n turns to the class] I'm sure u knw d incident y'day at assembly? Three of our girls were called to stand up. I wonder how u all were feeling when u saw them. Surprised? Sad? Happy? I'm sure u all were surprised n sad, definitely not happy. I was too. But u knw, girls, let this b a lesson to u to talk less n work harder. Stay alert. When it cums to assembly, jus don't talk until u can.
Really, she's the only teacher tht I've ever felt cud cum close to being a mother for me in skl. Anyway, tht's wat she said. Quite a lot, eh? Then, after tht, evryting was pretty normal. But I thank God once again for being ever so faithful to me. When I came to skl, I knew He was wit me. All I had to do was get thru the day. Thank you, Jesus! U hve rode n overcome this tiny storm wit me.

Bad Day
I had a bad day... on Wei Shern's b'day summore. Aiyah! It started lik this, well, OK, I was passing Chew Yong sumting, n I went abt my own business, not doin anyting. Then Pn, Khairiah (frm here on known as DP for Disciplinary Teacher) (see, I still show her respect, yeesh) came to us and blah blah blah. I was SHOCKED. She ordered us to stand when evryone sits. I was praying the entire time. "Oh Lord, help me, pls. Do anyting. Whatever. Jus don't spoil today for me." Cos u c, I wud b getting my Spelling Bee prize after such a long time, and Lavenya & Jas Min came up to me b4 tht n were lik, "U're getting ur prize today, Manda! At last." I tot so too. But, of all days, y today? Jus lik when I got my Pres tag, 2H was announced dirtiest class n we had to stand in front. Is it always goin to b lik this? So when they announced the Spelling Bee "Johan", I could feel all eyes on me. Took a deep breath, walked in front wit ntg in my head. Received my prize, managed a weak smile and a thank you, turned back n kept my eyes reverted frm evryone else's. Evrybody mus b tinking, Ah, Spelling Bee. Oh, Amanda, rite? Yeah, tht one standing. But I needn't care abt them. Frens has been telling me tht I looked real sad-angry when I came back after taking my prize (haven't opened it until now. I offered Yan Teng my certificate, it's worth ntg to me rite now). I wonder if I've let down my class, lik 2H has got a bad enough name, n now... Oh well, I might b blowing things out of proportion. But I'm a real exaggerator when it cums to things tht seem exaggerated to me. Do I make sense, Cuz? (Directing it to u, cos u sort of understand me when I don't make sense =])
Romans 8:28 says, "In all things God works for the good of those who love Him... " I knw I must b making a big issue of this, but it is big for me. Still, ALL THINGS. I txt-ed Chuan Keat n he said "time heals evryting" n u knw, he's a real comfort! =D But, well, I've got sum real great frens too. Jolene's been so nice. Hehe. N Rob's a huge help too, cos, well, she disliks DP too n she jeling-ed at DP for making me stand. Wit a bow, I say THANK U! Not only tht, she wrote a post abt today, go c it, a more rough point at DP. But it's not lik I hate DP now. I'm not angry at her - at all - in fact. I'm jus upset tht d day I waited for had to b ruined lik tht. Altho my cousin hasn't been very helpful, but one thing she said jus stuck: "U made it thru today, rite? Then u'll make it thru." So eventho I might b getting stares n stuff, but I figure tht Hebrews 13:5 speaks well: "Nvr will I leave u, nvr will I forsake u." OK, altho, yes, it might seem lik a real small thing, but u knw, it's big for me (I knw I'm repeating). N things lik this, they jus, I dunno, at least for me, it makes an impact. But it's good, cos, lik I discover sum tings. Either way, I pray tht my week will go on fine. Another verse, hehe, 1 Peter 5:7 says, "Cast all ur anxiety on Him because He cares for u." N all God's ppl say, AMEN!
