today.... i wasted 6 hours of my life.

still wasting it, actually.

because in between all the work that i have to do, i still find time to take a nap that i didn't need, watch a movie that i'd already seen, and come online to chat to people i see a lot, and to blog.

mebbe i should say despite all the work that i have to do... seeing as the work is all still there. it's this humungo pile of - i resist the urge to say 'shit' - stuff that i have to do.

moving on.

ahh.... continue this later...

cuteness

i really have nothing to say.

england vs. paraguay 1-0 to england. rooney didn't play. beckham shot towards goal in 4th minute, ball bounced off some paraguay dude's head. results as an own goal.

damn funny.

me and finny might watch australia vs japan just to see how many players australia can take out.


cuteness.

collide

awesome song. not too hard to play either. and the lyrics are so niceeee..

COLLIDE Howie Day

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find you and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find you and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide

You finally find you and I collide
You finally find you and I collide

tired

class had an argument with teacher in chinese today over the format of the speaking test.

i thought ms yip was unfair, so i told her. and i spewed this bull about how we need mental preparation and whatnot. we took a vote and DUH people supported the non-teacher side.

now ms yip reckons i'm damn sincere.

HAHAHA.

don't know how she got that.

tired.

who bully?

people like teasing audrey. the guys, especially. once, auntie kim happened to witness this happening. and she went "WHO BULLY MY AUDREY, AH?".

i had my own version happen today.

we lot bought nasi lemak for lunch after church. i peered inside my container and asked...

kim: is there any chicken in here?
sean: does it look like there's chicken in there?
andrew: HOI! don't make fun of her.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

for some reason, i found that very amusing.

nancy boys

there's a Borders on Hay Street Mall in the city...

... opposite David Jones, next to EB Games, where Lincraft used to be. [thanks for giving me such accurate coordinates, loony]

so jane took me and cheryl there today. it is AWESOME. there's ANY BOOK YOU WANT in there. don't believe me?

they have the whole series [or most of it] of rurouni kenshin in there.

they have TWO ROWS of david gemmell in there. a whole shelf, ONE WHOLE BLOODY SHELF, for terry pratchett. shelves and shelves of manga.

i wanted so many books. national geographic had this massive, 60kg book of pics. 60 bucks. i wasn't even carrying that much. david gemmell's first book for the troy trilogy was there. edding's the dreamers series. a lot of random books that looked interesting. yes, i even looked at a bright yellow self-help book designed to help me figure myself out.

anyway, i was grinning like one of them damn cheshire cats - you know, the creepy one in alice in wonderland? - and bouncing around the store just cause i was so happy. yes, fine, call me a geek if you must. but know this, what william hung feels for his singing, i feel for my books.

debated and argued - with myself - for a while.

but in the end i got this.

nah, they didn't have this cover.

they had this one. soooo nice, i love it more than that one up there. 32.95 dammit. but bloogy nice cover.


after ages of internal struggle. i went for the more economical option.

22 bucks of this.


why am i so cheap?

weallvelismat

i just saw a bit of ten's late news. it started off, as predicted, with australia's shattering loss to italy in this morning's sudden-death match.


this is what the socceroos were like before the match.

and then this....

yes, we are all pissed off at how that italian dude 'tripped' over neil.

it was a professional fall man. i mean, look, the italian's have had practice.

XD. [btw, that's staged]

anyway, what amused me was that after about 6 million news items about the soccer, the players, the families of the players, the people watching the soccer, the coach, the future of individual players, kewell's ankle injury, viduka's next step..... etc etc.... there came a news item about australians watching the match in iraq.

turns out 22 people were killed in a targeted bombing over there, and this was reported after all that soccer news.

yeah, we know where our priorities lie.

X3

...had the same effect on me as ice age 2 did.



it's fun to watch, but you don't come away a better person.

it focuses more on the action than anything else. most of the characters barely speak two words throughout the entire movie. some are just there to die.

but man, is it cool. you want special effects with gore and exploding people? this is the movie to watch.

props to the special effects. props to the fights.

props to the dude with the WHITE WINGS!!!

damn, i want wings like that.

if i had wings i would fly

cause all that i need, You are

and if the world caved in around me

to You i'd still hold on

cause You're all that i believe

You're the one that created me

Jesus, because of You

i'm free

feel the love!!

care group on friday was spent eating and watching old disney movies. it kinda struck me as... amusing... that the characters could fall in love sooooo easily.

sleeping beauty in particular. ok, the dude met her for like, two minutes. and then subsequently spends half the movie trying to save her from the clutches of some evil dragon witch.

so he met her once upon a dream... BIG DEAL.

i feel like taking pictures.

this one was an accident. it's been cropped to get the bit i want.. but the original.. bleagh.


woohoo!! ok, so this was a fluke as well.


i love the lens of this camera!!


she actually looks thoughtful XD.


this is cute.


the creek ain't a bad place to be, ey.

i know you i walked with you once upon a dream

i know you that gleam in your eye is so familiar a gleam

and i know it's true that visions are seldom what they seem

and i can't remember how the last lines go

so i'll just have to.. makeitup...

one winter past

looking through some of the IMC pictures from last year. was flipping through the ones from church camp in particular. man, we had fun.

all pictures courtesy of ken/joe.


first of all, orchard glory farm resort is really pretty. you have no idea unless you've been. perfect place for a nice camp.


see, i never lie.

it's not only the scenery. there's the funwe have on the bus...


the games... ending in massive water fights.


the power of supporting friends.


the great, great oranges!!!


the worship..


the friends...


the fishing...


the punishments for losing at cards...


the campfire...


meditating with those odd, odd geese on the lake...


there's also the aunty-cooked food, the tea with a dash of hand squeezed lemon juice [more hand than lemon involved], the wacky sketches [bujang bad boy], the freezing mornings, the baby rabbit [that was and is no more], the sour oranges [lots of stories about oranges], angels and masters, a whole lot of other stuff...

...and just having the time of your life.
