country music

I typed this long post about beauty,modesty etcetc..felt like a hypocrite.
So i ganti-ed it with this instead:

"The most common error made in matters of appearance is the belief that one should disdain the superficial and let the true beauty of one's soul shine through. If there are places on your body where this is a possibility, you are not attractive-you are leaking.
~Fran Lebowitz~

Am discovering a new love for-get this: Country Music
(guys out there:real men listen to country music-yes,even with all the singing about love and such because country music=cowboys=real men rite? lol..)



In celebration of my new-found interest, here's a country music joke:
Q:What do you get when you play a country music song backwards?
A:You get your wife back,you get your job back,you get your truck back,you get your dog back,you get...

Yes,cheesiness is increasing exponentially against the number of days left to my exam! Woo-hoo!

escape

I need to get out.
Anywhere, I don't care, just anywhere.

I've always had this need, keep going on and on.
Just one more new place, one more new face..
Some people get their kicks from partying, extreme sports..I get my buzz from traveling.
Having to keep it latent is like..like..water in a paper cup, you can't contain liquid in it for too long else the bottom will just give way.

It's not like "I like to travel and gain new experiences, broaden my viewpoint ..etcetcetc"
Those who feel the same way i do, you know what i'm talking about.
It's this great need that keeps you awake at night, the slow creep of suffocation when you get stuck in a place for too long. The helplessness you feel sometimes when faced with familiarity, routine, repetition. You feel like screaming, hoping it'll break some kind of invisible chain, setting you free.

Not that routine is bad. Familiarity breeds trust-another essential of life. Everyone needs a base to refuel, regroup.

Maybe it's my need to always move on. To try something new, different.
Or maybe, it's the fear of being too attached and trapped by my own emotional 'wants'.
Either way, I just need fresh input, new vibes..inspiration.

so intent on finding a place you belong
but discontented when you're anywhere for long
were you ever so impatient?
or is it more like desperation?

I left the bathtub tap running today to collect water (Kluang's been on water rationing-they cut the water supply so we'll use less water..we collect even MORE water when the pipes aren't dry and use twice 2 days worth of water in 1 )

So I left the tap running. Bathtub had limitations so water runnneth over..no problem..except that in my house the water leaks out, all over the floor..which is made of wood.
This actually happened a few times before, you'd think I would have learned by now.

I spent a whole hour wringing out towels and the mop which were continously soaked by the water seeping out from under the wood. One w h o l e hour. My hands felt like raw meat.

Then my mum handed me the sponge-mop. The one advertised to mop up any liquid on earth. The one with the handle.

After I cleared up the mess..I took my various peralatan down to keep..placing the clean cloth and drying mop into the bucket for easy carrying. Into the bucket filled with the dirty water from my 1 hour work.

Even genius has its limitations...stupidity just keeps on going..

Woo-hoo!!! Finally on AXN...all the jargon, the white lab coats, blood,exposed organs...and ooh, ooh...lets not forget the pills!! Okay, so i have an obsession with medical dramas..who doesn't wish their doctors were as cute sometimes? :P

And to those who say these kind of shows are pure bs..get a life..nobody watches tv to get a dose of reality.

TGIF

Another week down! Found out the confirmed dates for trials-21st to 27th which is pretty good, considering how Malaysian school are notorious for having ridiculously drawn-out exams..now all i have to do i study :P

Fridays are always a fun day for me. Lab periods half the schooling day, math and the school cell group after at the Golden Arches, (we have our own table!!) then it's home to shower and pack for another 2-half hours of non-stop chemistry-small detour here:
The teacher who conducts my chem tution class has it in her church-awesome lady,the first thing she made clear on the first day of class was

"Any 'free time' before and after tuition will be used to talk about Jesus..any objections?"

Fortunately, her class is the kind that students queue up for, plus it's a once a week only thing. It's a really packed class,the students sit at a minimum of SIX per table-the normal foldable ones. So, everyone has heard about God's offer of salvation and I've learnt that form 6 students are more open to discussions on religion...heh

After Chem it's back home again for a quick dinner and cell group again. I used to have arguments with my mum about skipping CG, claiming that it was an "adult" thing and really boring for me...
Am glad that she was persistent..count it one of my greatest blessings in life to meet up with people who've not only watched me grow up, but also show me what a christian family is like -crazy people, kids, laughter, prayer, bible study and a lot of good food from different households ;P

Sounds a tad routine? Maybe, but these days I'm glad for routine.
Have a good weekend people! Don't do things you'll regret on Monday!
