three weeks.

yea!i'm back, finally.. :) the past few weeks had been quite hectic for me.

last blogged date: 22 feb

today : 12 feb

okie, it's exactly 22 days since Mariah Carey's concert in Malaysia.. but it seems so long ade..



for the first week after her concert:

my agenda was to install FREEBSD, my computer network project. i actually installed it more than 10 times for 3 days. i had sleepless night figuring how to install it with my groupmate. it was torturing. we actually slept for only a few hours that week. i remembered once, my groupmate, katak felt like eating porrigde at 5am in the morning, so cooked porrigde for us, and there's when i discover *smth*- betta left unsaid. anyway, we finally found some guys to help us with the installation, hehe. that week itself i have 2 projects datelines, both on friday. i oso had my first prom, A-nite in the palace of the golden horses on thursday...



the following week:

3 presentations, actually it's 1 presentation and 2 demo. everything went fine. *praise God* i got 10/10 for my freeBSD demo. hehe.. if i'm not wrong i think i had a test on that week too. (too many tests ade, can't really remember the date) the paper was BAD.



the following week:

which is this week, i had one test, (AGAIN) on thursday, i think i didn't do very well too. i think i'm kind of getting off track, like i do not know how to study. i think i've lost the way to smart study. i need to learn the methods, i need to SCORE.



today::

today, i had 6 hours class. everything went perfectly fine, until my LAB TEST! it was horrible.. horrible... :( i wonder how many marks will i get out of 10. i had the tot of extending my studies to one more semester, this sem seems to be so tuff.. 7 subjects, not sure how am i goin to handle it. cos i'm still blur in some of the subjs. and FINALS is just around the corner.



i gotta get some sleep now. goodniteeess....

an astounding night to remember .: an intimate evening with Mariah Carey, Charmbracelat world tour, 2004 :.

i really enjoyed myself thruout the whole concert, eventhough i had to wait for almost one and a half hour for the concert start (why? cos we have to wait for our V VIP, Agong) the concert was amazing, her voice was as melodious as before.. throughout the whole concert, she wore only one outfit, she said "i have to play by the rule, sorry if i'm being boring" It's very kind of her to respect our government, however, i would prefer her to change to a least a few costumes. I sat at VIP block 2 row N #1, with my fren, joanne, and another 2 sisterswho had won the "Mariah Carey SMS contest", Hui Lin and Hui Ming. it was an instant bonding, cos four of us are HUGE fans of Mariah. It seemed that not many people who are seated at the VIP seats know her songs, mm.. maybe like 30% of them know her songs really well, so, when four of us sang along wif her, those ppl around was like.. ~wow, these girls really know her songs well~ kekekek.. it's really like a dream come true to see her perfome , especially here, in Malaysia. i really like all the songs that she sung tat nite.. however, tat's this one song that really really inspire me... and gives me a betta picture of her, is "Saving My Grace". She said tis songs means a lot to her, and she wrote it. As she sing tis song, the big screen shows some of her clips, like the time when she broke down, and how finally how she pull through . the song made my heart ache. i think the song is a thanksgiving song.It shows of how the Lord had delivered her from dilemma, how God has strengthen her throughout her journey of life...



********

my saving grace

I've still got a lot to learn

But, at least I know where I can turn

When I'm in my times of need

Just as long

(As I know all things are possible)

Just as long as I believe



I've loved a lot, hurt a lot

Been burned a lot in my life and times

Spent precious years wrapped up in fear

With no end in sight

Until my saving grace shined on me

Until my saving grace set me free



Giving me peace

Giving me strength when I'd

Almost lost it all

Catching my every fall

I still exist because you keep me safe

I found my saving grace within you



Yes, I've been bruised

Grew up confused

Been destitute

I've seen life from many sides

Been stigmatized

Been black and white

Felt inferior inside

Until my saving grace shined on me

Until my saving grace set me free



Giving me peace

Giving me strength when I'd

Almost lost it all

Catching my every fall

I still exist because you keep me safe

I found my saving grace within you



And the bountiful things that you do

Lord thank you

For delivering me



And giving me peace

Giving me strength

Giving me hope when I'd

Almost lost it all

Catching my every fall

I still exist because you keep me safe

Always my saving grace

Pulls me through

I found my saving grace within you



(Yes you are - you're my every, everything)

Within you...

(Only, only you)

Yes lord

(Only you)

My saving grace lord is

You

she actually ended the concert with the song "butterfly", but she didn't even perform the song "hero". When she walked into backstage as the light turned off, almost every audience, stood up and shouted "we want more". i think after few minutes, she walked out wif the songs "vision of love" and "hero". everyone was overjoyed and sang along with her. They ran to the front to get a closer view of her. we didn't do tat, cos we'll be meeting her backstage anyway. kkekekeke..



after the concert ended, we went to the Mandarin Oriented Hotel to meet her, cos the stadium was too hot for her. i guess she went back to shower. the Tm-net representative, was very kind to bring us to the hotel. finally we reached the hotel, we can only see her for 5 mins, go in in a batch of 10persons, ithink around 20 persons got the chance to see her. But when we see her, we are not allowed to hug her, to take photos wif her nor to take her autograph.



as we were waiting outside the room, she came down from the escalator with her bodyguard cum manager (i dunno his name, but he has got HUGE biceps), i was waving at her, and we shouted her name as she walked into the room. she was wearling a long black dress.



when it was my time to see her, i wen straight to shake her hands and asking for a hug. hehe. but the bodyguard said "No, no, NO HUGS", then i passed her the gifts i've made for her, and kept talking to her, and the bodyguard said "photo first, then only gifts, understand" he even asked me to look at him and listen to him. *bweks* I stood just right beside her when we were taking photograph, then i whispered to her, "can i have your autograph", joanne did the same thing, cos i wen in with her. but the bodyguard heard it, again he said, "No no, no autograph". Mariah Carey, gave us the helpless look, showing that she was sorry. But i just, i think i whine at her saying "pleeeeaseeeee". She was soo kind and sweet, she said "alrite, quickly, where's the pen" then she signed for us. soo sweeeeeeeeet riteee :) i think only joanne and i got her signature, i'm not sure about other fans though, but my frens, hui lin and hui ming went in after us, didn't get to shake her hands. I was wondering, if it is caused by our disobidient. It was a really sweet nite..






me and mariah
Posted by Hello

thank you GOD for answering my prayers *AMEN*

God has been so good to me, granting all my prayers. :) I had won 2 VIP seats and backstage passes to Mariah Carey concert in Stadium Merdeka yesterday. The concert was GREAT, really, she really got a beautiful voice. hehe... anyway, one week before the concert, i tried to enter the mix fm "Mariah Mania" contest, to win VIP seats, as well as backstage passes, plus A TRIP TO DUBAI to catch her concert on 26 feb, including RM1000 spending money. I had to wait for the "cue to call" everyday for last week, the feeling was indescribleable, it was a mixture of, excitement, happy, sad and dissapointment. Happy was because, it's time for the cue to call, and i have the chance to be the grand prize winner for MIX fim, that's if i get thru the line which is so damn hard to get thru. At the same week, i had FOUR tests and ONE presentation, i seriously dunno how i survived through that, but i guess God had been gracious enough to survived me through it. I had no worries at all, i was at peace most of the time, doing what i can do today and not worrying about what will happen tomorrow. Anyway as the date of concert gets nearer, and i still haven't get my ticket, my god-sis has decided to give a treat to her concert, knowing tat i couldn't affort it. *so sweet, rite* So, i bought the ticket, which costed RM268. ACTually, i tot of upgrading the ticket to 388, cos my fren will be goin for the 388 one, but before i did tat, i got a call from bluehyppo, saying tat i've WON the GRAND PRIZE!!*praise GOD* it's truly amazing, cos when i asked them, the senior editor from bluehyppo who called me,Marina, for the second highest point for the contest, cos i tot i've got the highest point. Marina said another guy got higher points than me,but the thing is , he has got only one streamyx account, so, they disqualified him, i've got 7, and they chose me to be the winner!! *Praise God* . The girls who are incharge of the contest are Marina and Sheena, they had been a blessing to me. On thursday, Marina asked me if i would like to see MARIAH from Klia , i said yes, and they fetched me to klia wif another fren of mine. After the concert, we were supposed to meet Mariah backstage, but it was too hot for her, so she went back to the hotel first, and we are to meet her from the hotel. Marina and Sheena went to the hotel wif me. When we reached there, other winners who got backstage passes from Metrojaya and 98.8 fm , asked us how we get there, cos they have to go there all by themselves. they were so envious of us, cos we were so well-treated by the tm-net staff. *GOD is good rite*.. and finally.. i met ms Mariah Carey..... :)

friends forever...

i had a gathering wif my exschoolmates yesterday in midvalley. 6 of us.. it's so nice to meet the rest.. we went to nando's for lunch, then shop, took pictures, and went to kim gary for dinner. some of us had not been meeting since last year. one of my fren was back from australia, and she together with another fren came down from taiping for this gathering.. *how sweet*. as time goes by, it's ade the third year since we left school, and most of us have grown more matured. we become more tolerate to one another as we only meet once a year. :)

i wan to go to mariah carey's concert!!

tried to enter the contest in mix fm that gave away free tickets to mariah carey's contest. borrowed my fren's phone to listen to the radio when i was in the class. then i heard MC's song, and tot that the contest is starting.. so i called up mix fm, and left the class.. manatau.. they were just playing her song, it's not the contest :(. after that i dare not to go in to the class

hehe

wat lies within us...

and what lies Before us,

are tiny matters ...

compared to what lies Within us. "

a time of bonding...~ turning point of lifee.... ~ my LIFE!

i'm in cybercafe now, accompanied by my brothers who are playing RO. had a wonderful day today wif my family :) went to a new jusco in permas jaya. then later at nite, we went to "city square", that's when i bought my tops for cny.. YEA!!! and my mum bought a pair of heels.. hehe... no new shoe for me this cny. :) it doesn't really matter, cos i very yim chim in buying shoe one.. must see nice one only buy ;p.. i din really buy any cny clothes this year..just one skirt which costed rm10. heheh.. but thank GOD my mum bought be a pair of jeans.. YEA!! now i have a set of new clothes to waer on the first day of cny..

feeling really glad to be wif my family. cos we hardly spend much time together- wif me in cyberjaya and my bro in tarc. we only meet during semester breaks or cny. so must appreciate this timeeeeeeee.. :)



as i was walking here, i saw a group of teenagers, i think they are around 13-14 years old. i saw them smoking.. man.. what's wrong wif kids nowadays?? i know smoking is common, but they are still soo YOUNG, or maybe small.. sighh.. they acted as if they were adults..



well well, maybe i should just mind my own bussiness.. after all, there are so much to do, but so little time left... :( what i can do now, is just to enjoy my CNY and family bonding- haha.. feeling kinda excited now, cos gonna meet my cousins soon. i know i'm goin to have a great time wif them. :)



i had been doing a lot of thinking lately..

if not for that "meeting" my life would not be like now, i think it would be diferrent, don't even dare to think how it would be. there was a time in life where i had this "meeting" with my frens that had actually changed my life... i would say that it's a blessing, it seems to be a turning point of my life.. where it sort of changes my lifestyle gradually.. and it had definitely blessed me with a group of special frens. frens that i'm hanging out now... these group of frens, are ppl i can depend on, in time of difficulties.. and they had make life easier for me. yeps, thank God for them.. :)

if i had not gone for this meeting, then they would not come into my life..

sometimes, we may not see the value of certain things that had happenned in our life, but we'll never know, cos it be just be a turning point of our life.. ~ like mine..

happieee chinese new year...

i had an enjoyable time in church yesterday. Ps Kenneth was GREAT. serious.. the room was filled wif laughter, he's really good, i think he can be a good actor too. hehe.. so,if you wan to know more abt it, do come to ACTS church :) we welcome anyone, from all walks of life, old or young, fat or thin.. heheh, betta stop my crap now. din do much on sunday, pratically slept the whole afternoon.. hehe

my first blog. had been wanting to create my own blog few months ago, but didn't manage to do so. so, here am i. i think this is pretty cool, online journal huh.



attended 6 hours of lectures today. one word :: BORED :: went swimming wif my roomies after class. though it was like less than 15 mins, but it was refreshing. why 15 mins? cos i was rushin for CF. :)

after CF, went over to moi frens' house, spent like more than an hour there, chattin' bout d most popular topic among my coursemate --> the placement of industrial training --> before, during and after.



anyway, read my lil pink book just now, had not been touching it for quite some time, and found this passage ::



"and he should find it, assurredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray" - Matthew 18:13



yeps, was feeling rather faithless lately. don't think i found this phrase by accident. guess it's meant for me to read it. :)



ok, guess it's bout all... goodnitesssssssss
