Wow!! I'm George Washington.....hmm, not bad...not bad at all =) hahaha..... Sometimes it's just fun to do these quizzes though you begin to wonder how accurate they are. I do them for the sake of curiosity and also to waste time!! :p
Oh yea, signed a campaign to support medical staffs in Hong Kong who are affected by the SARS disease. Was approached by a HK gal who stays in my block of residence. Well, even if I wasn't approached by her I would still have supported the campaign anyway. Really hope they find a cure for SARS very very soon...can't have so many ppl infected with the disease. Makes me worried cos Malaysia might be affected as well...and also the situation in Singapore is quite bad. My mum was worrying about me here about the SARS but then I told her she shld be more worried about the situation in KL rather than here. UK is really separated very far from South East Asia....*sigh* I guess mothers will be mothers....worry a lot about their children. Quite a natural thing, so I dun blame her.

The war will soon be ending I think....Saddam's statue has been brought down and the people of Iraq are celebrating on the streets. Though I think war should not have been launched in the first place, it still has brought some good to the situation. The ppl are liberated and they are rid of a dictator who has gold-plated taps for his bathroom while ppl are suffering, starving and oppressed. Let's hope peace is restored quickly and also a government is established to stabilise the country.
With so many things happening these days (war in Iraq and SARS), it feels like trying and difficult times....does it signal the end of the world?? Hmm, scary thought!!
Praying for peace, harmony and health for everyone...

Today was a sunny and beautiful day...wish I could take a walk in the park and just sit under a blooming tree, with pink and purple flowers all around.......relaxing, laughing or reading a book. It's good that spring's here. It's always been my wish to have a picnic in the park with friends....it will definitely be fun! Can practically imagine myself sitting on the grass, eating a sandwich and some Pringles (my fav!) and probably have some chocolates (KitKat, Kinder Bueno, Twix, Ferrero Rocher, Thorntons Chocolate Mini Rolls! hehehe, that's a loooong list! :P) as well, enjoying the beautiful view and start singing to myself.....friends joking about, talking nonsensical stuff, everybody relaxing and having fun. Take lots of scenic pictures as well....*sigh*, but then I think it would not come into reality as for now cos I have so much work to do. Everyone has stuffs to do and exams are looming very near, like the dark clouds that comes creeping in a sunny and lovely day.
Everybody's stressed over exams.....and I am no exception. It's really a dampen to your spirits when you see spring and summer coming but you got to stay home to do work...work, work, work.....nasty word!! haha....but then there's no choice, it's something we all have to live with, unless you wanna become a lazy loafer and just sleep on the streets, then you will have no worries in the world. (Hmm, maybe then your worry would be where to get food with no money!?)
Today I received a meaningful forwarded email, about how baking a cake relates to our problems. I find it very true and thought I should share the story with everyone. Here it is:
###
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?", or "Why did God have to do this to me?". Here is a wonderful explanation!
A daughter was telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother was baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers. "Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Mom, those are all yucky!" To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.
###
Hmm, don't you agree that the story is quite true and relevant.....when we think that all is going wrong then suddenly we see the bright light at the end of it. Just like walking through a pitch dark, long tunnel, then when we are nearing the end, we see the light ahead of us. Life's like this most of the time. But when we look back later on, will we only see why it happened and probably feel thankful that it happened. Everything happens for a reason...
Feeling kinda philosophical today, I must admit. Don't know why, but then it should be good. =)

It feels kinda weird to be blogging after such a long absence. But then there's this feeling of self-satisfaction when I see my blog updated with stuff. Although it's not as sophisticated and nice as some people's blog, but then I feel that it's not bad considering I put in my efforts....When I look back at the dates which I last blogged, it's been like a whole 3 months!! And many many things happened within this time....some good and some bad. It makes me realise that we should not take things for granted. These 3 months were like a whole whirlwind for me. Lots of activities, events and happenings....too many to actually list down and talk about them. Had a CNY dinner organised by MSS Cardiff on 16th February. Had to help cook for about 200 people!! Learned how to wrap popiah....cooked a few dishes, made red and green bean dessert and spent half the day cooking (from 5pm to 7am) !! hahaha...unbelievable huh? Felt like a hawker cos was coated in oil and smelled like food!! Makes me laugh when I think about that night. Was really fun!!
In March was my birthday where my friends gave me a surprise party...hehehe, was actually really surprised cos didn't even think that they would plan it for me, then was involved in Cardiff Games, again by MSS, learned how to deal with emergencies and also how to plan some games properly....those were hectic and busy times, but all in all good fun, laughter and excitement. Really happy and satisfied that I was involved in them and got to play a part in organising something for people to enjoy.
Meanwhile was busy with work, lectures and socialising with friends....Bristol gang came down (i.e. Aki, Shen, Azlin, Jo and Eve) haha....we had some good times catching up and stuffing ourselves with food!! *laughs* Also had birthday celebrations for friends here......tried smoking sheesha (is that how u spell it??). It's a fruit flavoured smoke originated from Turkey....no nicotine in it......and then your breath will smell like fruits!! haha.....first time for me, didn't quite enjoy it but just tried it for the experience. You only live once!! hahaha......Well, all said and done, nothing beats all the things I've been going through......learn a lot, mature from them and will have a totally different outlook in life.
Hmm......written quite a lot for now.....need to have something to eat....*eyeing my cup of tea and apple turnovers!* haha =)
Till tomorrow then....sayonara!

Hmm, took this quiz about which carebear I am.....and the results turned out to be quite accurate. Well, just am quite busy at the moment with assignments and need to prepare for my finals in May. Sigh......need to really concentrate. Was thinking about changing the layout of this blog....but then no time and also no Microsoft Front Page to do anything nice to it. Need Aki's help in this, but should be during summer when I am more free (I hope) to do it. That's about it for now....
