Love that phrase. In the previous post, I forgot to mention something I think is very important. I forgot to share about the major lesson I learned this week - that I don't have to prove a point to someone which I know I'm already right about. I mean, WHAT IS there to prove? It hurts only myself and anybody else involved. So bumbum la okay. I forgive whoever "caused" me to have to prove the point, though. The person was merely speculating and sharing his observations and I do believe he would make a great life coach (as he wants to be) if he goes in the right direction.

I have such perasan friends. Isaac texted today and he was like, "Eh I think I'm very handsome la. Don't you think so?  " He has asked that question so many times, I don't know what to say anymore but tell him he is. Dang, you make me lie.

The Man Utd players need a good, well-deserved rest. I really think that Alex Ferguson has added a few more wrinkles and lost a few hairs, what with all the things to do. I respect the man.

Also, Berbatov has improved.

I actually don't feel too bad about missing the Halloween party at the Chongs. When I told Sean I couldn't make it, I thought I'd feel quite deprived on the night. And furthermore, Ian was sick. We also planned a sleepover/laugh-till-we-hurt-session/late-night-talk after that because we haven't spent time together in ages, but then I thought better of it and decided I should stay focused on work. Sensible-nya! *halo appears above head and heavenly music plays* This week I am going hardcore with my SAT practice tests. How wonderful. I'm in the 1800-1900s. By the way, I think my brother spends wayy too much time on Facebook playing Uno and Pet Society and Typing Maniac and hacking them. Somebody, anybody, do something!

Yes people, after my SAT I will go anywhere (well, almost anywhere) with you, especially to those I owe or ffk-ed. I think Su-Ann is at the top of my ffk list. Heh. And FYI to some PJ people, KL is so not far away. I like The Gardens and GSC Signature because it's still clean and wide. I like KLCC because there are fascinating metro/homo/trans sexual dudes to see. Okay, sorry, I'm just kidding about the latter. All people are beautiful and special in God's eyes. They and people around them only have to realize and embrace it. Oh but don't get me wrong, I'm not condoning homosexuality either.

It's been drizzling and raining almost continuously. The basketball court down the street is full of puddles; the futsal courts are stained with slippery rain marks. I salute our security guards for sitting out like that through rain or shine. At the moment some blokes somewhere are burning some garbage-smelling thing and polluting the previously fresh and chilly air. Sigh. Some people. And as we Chinese say, "We no eyes see."

This year-end I have decided to do something different. I won't be attending any camps this year, as I have almost every year of my life. I want to do something different. Maybe go on a mission trip, volunteer in some community services, visit the SPCA, go on a roadtrip with buddies like the one during CNY two years ago, do some photography and attend workshops, appreciate nature and spend time with the family by a river somewhere, go hiking and just stand in amusement at the sounds of cicadas; play badminton, futsal and golf; get involved in youth political discussions/meetings available, read up on psychology and literature, attend an overnight prayer meeting at church, attend a court session and a Parliament session, visit the Tugu Negara again, go to Cambodia, go to the park and people-spot or play frisbee with my brother, write a few substantial pieces, get involved in Street Ministry again, get my driving lessons/licence done... The list is endless.

Learning is a lifelong journey, and it goes far beyond the confines of our four walls of church and school. They are where we learn and are taught, and the world is our training and application ground. We must have consistency and discipline to keep up with our Christian growth and not stray when we are outside of those four walls. Thanks Ms. Cath for the thought.

Thank you Jesus. You are good. This week will be an enjoyable and fruitful one.

Love you all. And in the meantime, behave.
