the meaning of life...

For the past few weeks, I’ve come across quite a few friends’ blogs and comments. And they all wrote about the same thing: LIFE! Ranging from things like the meaning of life to the monotony of life to how painful growing up is…

Because of that, I’m reminded of my purpose in life: JESUS! Like Pastor Rick warren said… It’s not about me! I was created for HIS pleasure. And knowing that, gives life a whole new meaning! It’s so easy to get caught up in the momentum of life. Working our butts off, studying, practicing like mad…for what? Why of coz, for Jesus! =)

Colossians 3:23 says “whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.” Yes, my dear, growing up is hard and painful at times most of the time, but have no fear! Coz we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. If our God is for us, who can be against us?!

Knowing that living my life is an act of worship unto God doesn’t make life so boring after all!!! Hehe... still need some spice and colour in your life…? Only one thing you need:

JESUS!!!

=)

finally here again...

Whoaaaa… I guess it’s high time I updated my blog, huh? Even Aunty Chris asked me why I haven’t blogged in a long time! I wanted to blog last week but I could’t log on to blogspot!!! Dunno what’s wrong… finally got in today! well, apart from that I’ve also been busy. It’s the end of the semester (AGAIN, I know!!!) and exams are on! It’s alright, after this I have 2 months of holidays!!! Weeeeeee… ah, I can’t wait! Been working non-stop the whole year… finally it’s time to relax! =)

Come to think about it, I had a nice break 2 weekends ago. It was Hari Raya so we had Monday off. And I skipped Friday’s class too. So I had 4 days of holiday! Hehe… Han-ni and Aunty Kim came down on Friday night and stayed on till Sunday. On Saturday we all ate like PIGS!!! Hehe… started off the morning in Ah Seng’s coffee shop. We had loads to eat there: Hakka Meen, Kon Lou Meen Lam Kali Cap (haha… I’m simply spelling that. It’s dried noodles with black sauce, soy sauce and curry), Loh Mai Kai (glutinous rice with chicken and last but not least…….TOASTS with butter and kaya! Yummy… hehe… after helping out Anne in church, I headed to Aunty Lily’s house for Hari Raya lunch! Mmmmmmm… such good food! We had Nasi Bryani, Nasi Kunyit (which I absolutely love), vegetables, chicken curry, Pulut with Kuah Kacang!!! Wahhhhh, so yummy! After lunch, we went back home and there was delicious Chow Kuey Teow at home coz tapau-ed for Josh’s lunch and I wanted to let Han-ni try so bought another packet for her. So, we pigged out again! Haha… next up: dinner. We had Hokkien Mee that Aunty Kim bought from KL the night before. And we had that with mommy’s Petai Sambal! After dinner we headed to church for Aspirers. Had a wonderful session there where the youths went thru 9 different stations down the Road of Calvary. After Aspirers, we went to Aunty Cherie’s house coz they were celebrating Sze-En’s birthday. I don’t need to tell you, do I…? Hehe… yes, yes!!! We ate again. This time we had Aunty Cherie’s famous Lou Shi Fun…heavenly! There were also buns with cheese, ham, tuna, tomatoes and cucumber. We also had Mee Siam and Fried Noodles and there was the birthday cake. Haha… so that wraps up our adventure for the day! After that day, I don’t dare weigh myself on the weighing scale. Haha, give me a few more days before I am able to pluck up the courage to do so! =D

Just finished my aural exams today. It was hard!!! =( I’m praying hard that I’ll pass… don’t mind if I just get 50, as long as I pass! Hehe… don’t have any papers tomorrow. On Thursday, I have Music Theory in the morning and in the afternoon I have Chamber Music Ensemble assessment! Scary. Playing Scherzo with Lisa and it’s super duper fast! Hehe… can’t wait for exams to finish. So many things I wanna do. I think the main thing I’m looking forward to is having time to cook and bake… wanna try so many new recipes! Hehehe…

Two Nigerians found dead

By ANDREW SAGAYAM

KUALA LUMPUR: Two Nigerian students were found dead in their apartment, believed to be from a drug overdose, in Taman Connaught, Cheras.

Their housemate discovered their bodies in a room at their Angkasa Condominium at 10am yesterday.

Olugboja Emmanuel Olawale, 22, was found lying on the bed while Abbas Alhaji, 24, was sprawled under it.

The housemate returned home just after midnight yesterday, went straight to bed and was shocked to find Olugboja and Abbas dead when he went to wake them up yesterday morning.

Victims’ remains: Police officers carrying a body bag containing one of the dead Nigerians to a waiting truck at Angkasa Condominium in Cheras.

Initial investigations showed that the victims did not have any injury mark and neither were they robbed.

It is learnt that there was foam coming out of their mouths when they were found.

Police sources said police were investigating if the students were involved in drugs. The victims are believed to have consumed a large number of pills believed to be psychotropic drugs.

Both the deceased were business information system students at a College here. They came to Malaysia three years ago.

Cheras CID chief Deputy Supt V. Samugam said police were waiting for the post-mortem results from Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.

Nigerian Embassy consulate officer Ibrahim Hamidun urged the media not to speculate as to what had led to the students’ death.

“It has already been bad for us. We, Africans, have been wrongly accused for the recent Kepong murder and two of our people were arrested without any solid proof,” he said.

phewwwww.... was i relieved that it wasn't homicide! kekekkee.... and thank God mommy and daddy aren't here. if mom's here, she'll sure freak out... =D
