Off to Penang

             A group of 16 people took off from Tanjung Malim to Penang in a 12.20AM KTM. It took us 7 hours to reach Penang. What a long journey! I didn't really have enough sleep. The coach was so cold! It was as if I was sitting inside a refrigerator instead of a train. That kind of kept me awake. Finally we reached there at about 7AM. We had to take a ferry over and from there we took a bus to USM, where the committee members will be waiting for us to pick us up to the apartment. 

             We were so tired when we reached there. I was so tired I wish that I can skip the day's activities just to sleep. We put our stuff in our rooms respectively before lunch. I was so not-in-the-mood during lunch that day. After that we had praise and worship, games, workshops etc. 

             Bible verses of the day: "Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him when he is near." 

                                                                                                                                                 Isaiah 55:6.

       

         "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?" Matthew 16:2

Camp

I will not be able to go online from Monday to Thursday as I am going for a church camp. I won't be updating my blog for those few days but I hope to catch up everything after I come back from the camp. I just had a bad news last Friday. I was told that I have to stay back for practice sessions end of this week. I was planning to go home and I have not chosen a song for the solo part.

Saul

Tonight's fellowship talked about the story of Saul in 1 Samuel. I think that I was a little like him, the previous me. Saul was jealous of another person for being better than him and even intended to harm him. I had that kind of jealousy too, but not till the extent of harming people. I will think that I am no weaker than other people, why do I get lower marks than other people? Somehow I still take it as a room for me to improve and to find out the reason I got lower marks. Maybe I didn't do what the lecturer wanted and because of that my marks was cut off. Until now, if I have this kind of thought, I will pray and ask for forgiveness. Jealousy kills. So, stay away from it!

Tired

I didn't have enough sleep recently. I'm a very light sleeper and I think that it's really a nuisance. I wake up if I hear any noises, no matter soft or loud and I need complete darkness to be able to sleep. Sometimes I just admire those people who can sleep anywhere and anytime they like. I have to get back my sleep as soon as possible, if not I think I can't take it anymore. I was very sleepy this morning but I had no choice but to go to class. Well, what can I do?

Steamboat

My senior invited my friend and I to her house for steamboat today. I was quite shocked at the amount of ingredients she prepared! There was only five of us there and she prepared the amount enough for eight people! The steamboat was very very spicy. According to her it was their culture at Yunnan to have such spicy food. We ate and ate and ate. It's just too much, we didn't manage to finish all of it. Thanks to her I don't feel hungry at all last night. I was very very full, and I bet all my friends are too!

Quizzes and mid-terms

It's week eight and quizzes and mid-term exams are coming up one by one. I have a mid-term exam first thing tomorrow morning and I haven't started revising. I wonder how am I going to sit for it. Guess I have to burn the midnight oil tonight. I have orchestra practice tonight, so there's not much time for me to revise. Hopefully I'll get in every information I can from tonight's study.

PIano

After a long week's holiday,I have finally make myself practice my piano pieces which I had neglected since the past few weeks. I think that my teacher would not be so happy to listen to my pieces which have broken into many pieces! I better start practicing smart before I lose all my skills in my pieces. Beethoven's Pathetique sonata I was playing didn't have much of an improvement at all. I still have other instruments and subjects to tackle. Well, good luck.
