I've been up to quite a lot this week. My parents were out of town this weekend and I HAD THE CAR TO MYSELF!!!! Waahoo!
Friday night went out with my cousin Josh. Planned to hang at Coffee Bean but there wasn't any parking at Parkson, so we decided to scout around Miri for cocktails instead. Went to try out Siamese Secrets. A big nono. So we moved on to Mr Ho's Fine Foods. Sat at the bar area and I ordered a Midori Sour. Josh had a Seduction. Don't know why he didn't like it. Probably because of the Baileys. Nice ba... why he say taste like medicine. Heheh. But mine was nicer! =p
He looks weird there. Haha. I didn't know there was alcohol in there and I had to drive back. I know I sound like so noob, cmon me new driver ok. Ehehe.. Yeah anyway, I was scared to drive back considering my totally lame history of getting drunk on half a tin of Shandy. Gosh.. I'm so lame. But anyhoo.. we got home safe and sound ptl hahah=)))
Then there was EYM the following night where I had to pick Joy up. So after the usual traditional supper after EYM, we went over to Coffee Bean to meet up with Brad, Luffy and Jin Kiat.
THEN, was back to college on Monday. Went to the toilet. And...
These gross things almost got me locked in the cubicle. Like seriously, I start to wonder how many times the cleaner cleans the toilet PROPERLY. I mean, the last time I saw her 'cleaning', she just sprayed the cubicles with a hose. Like that's going to work. Please la. That second one has been there for WEEKS and I know, stop yapping and do something about it if you don't like it right? But yeah, I don't like roaches so I didn't get rid of it.
Yup.

Saying goodbye to music
It is NOT easy
For those who know me, music is my all (apart from God lah hehe). Without it, I just wouldn't be me at all. So why did God tell me to let go of something that was so important to me? Something that played such a major role in my life that I would be almost lifeless without..
This didn't just come up recently. The first time He told me was two years back. Kenaina let go of those that's not of me. First thing that came to my mind was my cds. avril. blink182. linkin park. Noooooooooo! (I've grown out of that music now but you know me then...) I compromised and instead of throwing them out, I put them away in a box, my 'scapebox', along with some other stuff. So now, ok my ori's are in a box. Bring on the fakes! Continued again all the way till last year. This pastor from India came to preach at our church and he said something about throwing away worldly music. My dad being my dad made all of us throw away those things, which I wasn't happy about. I thought, if I wanted to I should've done it in my own timing. Why did I have to follow what he said and take a step in my spiritual life when I wasn't ready for it? I was wrong. I decided to talk to Darren about it. If there was anyone that would understand what I was going through, it would be him.
Many other things happened but to cut the long story short, I was doing my quiet time this week.
Just to derive slightly, I love what our guest speaker said at church yesterday. I didn't get his name but he's from DUMC who apparantly has a tall, good-looking son, or so I heard *coughcoughceliiii* Anyhoooooooo, God is not that small minded. If you don't do your quiet time, he's not going to bring down fire on you. It's for YOU to get closer to God and that's how you can communicate with him. So you should only feel guilty about yourself not trying harder to get closer to God. Something along those lines la....
Anyway, yeah. I was doing my quiet time. And I read a devotional. Ah.. devotionals always come in at the right time *sigh* It was talking about music again. That we should be careful with what we listen to and all that. It brought back what God tried to tell me years ago. Guilt.
But I continued in my stubborness so I argued with God. "Why take away something that you've put in me to love so much? And what about other people? They're so far in their spiritual life yet you never told them to let go of it pun! It's not fair ba!" It went on and on and on....
I recently got into this song "I Kissed A Girl" by Katy Perry and I was humming it in the car on the way to music practice that night. I know... like such a hypocrite right? Then, suddenly God said to me "Those words in that song. Do you think it puts right images in peoples' minds? Does it come from me?" That made me shut up.. Sometime after that, somehow God reminded me of what I said about other poeple and why they can listen to secular music and I can't. He told me "Well, it's on their record. Not yours." And it suddenly hit me. I realised how directionless and self praising these songs were.
Can I just say this.. I LOVE GOD SPEAKING TO ME!!!! =))))))))
The following day, I continued on reading my bible and I came across this verse.
26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgement and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

Hebrews 10:26-27
I don't even have to explain this part. God was telling me to once and for all to do what He said or I would have to expect what I knew was to come. So from there, all my cds original and fake, songs in my computer, gone. I have yet to delete the ones in my hard disk but I will! Sorry to all those who have burned cds for me but yeah.. did what I had to do, you know?
So I'm sharing this from my heart and I'm not telling anyone to do what I did but I post it as a challenge. This post wasn't to offend anyone either so if it has, sorry. But I do hope that it has somehow made you guys realise something. Long post, but it's worth it =)

EYM Cook-out '08
Despite cooking in an open field for two hours under the sizzling sun (literally!) which gave me a splitting headache, a terrible tan and bruises and burns after.. IT WAS FUN! My group members are so awesome; we really pulled our dishes off from absolutely zero to something that looked edible! Hahah. Forgot to take a picture of it.. ah well. We didn't do so bad.
Our menu:
i) Sweet corn and egg soup (my group's was a total disaster!! Hahah)
ii) Salad
iii) Sweet and sour fish
iv) Curry chicken (our signature dish =)) I forgot to put salt!!! Argh)
There was also a mystery dish, or more like a mystery ingredient which was only given to us on the day itself. We got hotdogs. In my head I was like.. "Whut? Such a cute mystery dish?" Hah! So we just went and fried it. In the end, we got fourth place. Just 0.2 marks to third place! Haiyaa.. Heheh. But anyway, we had good fun.
Jess was holding the camera today so this is her group's food
The 6 group leaders, Michelle, myself, Cheryl, Gavin, Allan and Jasper =)
And congrats to Allan's group who got 3rd
I don't feel like congratulating Michelle but SIGHH here goes... congrats on 2nd place Michelle... *rolls eyes*
Hahah. Nola. Kidding Marsh. Congrats and cute salad =)
And, 1st place to Jasper's group! Dude, ur salad is awesomeeeeee. Lovin' the lemon!
