Me, Me and Me!!!

   Was talking with my mum today about all the quirky malaysian pronounciations and how we twist up words. So, here goes all the funny kisah benar(s) for you.

   My mum’s all-time favourite joke. About two restaurants side by side. One is called Restaurant Wee Ken Fatt; the other is called Restaurant So Kenn Wee. Lolz, get it? Wee Ken Fatt = We can fart. So Kenn Wee = So can we. =D

   Next, there’s my bus driver. The other day she was telling us how she had to rush to fetch the Sri KL school students. You know that private school in subang near taylor’s college, metropolitan, Inti, & co.?   Anyway, guess wut Sri KL turned to.. It was pronounced as Silly KL. You know, that auntie canton accent. Haha, next time I can demonstrate for you if you ask me nicely.

   Plus another silly incident. There’s this bookstore in Taman Mayang(ss26), in PJ. Called Sri Tanjong. And likewise its name was administered with the same silly treatment, by its cashier lady no less. I was waiting to pay money, when the phone rang and she picked up and answered : " Hello, Silly Tanjong. " Lolz.

   Next, is associated with our quirky chinese names, especially when translated to english. My mum told me bout this lady she knows who works in her office. Her name is Miss Yew. So, she would answer the phone and say :
   " Hello, I’m Miss Yew. "
Looks innocent enough doesn’t it? Haha, you wish. Say "I’m Miss Yew" 3 times quickly without stopping. Hehe, did you notice it? Anyway, it sounds like I miss you. So, the person at the other end of the phone would be like : " WHAT!! " *grin*

   Last kisah benar here. There’s this other lady my mum knows and her name is Miss Foo. Hmm, know you know what Foo sounds like don’t you? It sounds like fool. So, one day she was introduced to this englishman, and the poor innocent guy was like " Miss Fool! " and he thought that it was a cruel name and whatnot.. Thank God, things didn’t go awry and nobody took offence though..

   But what’s even sadder is that Miss Foo is actually a bit scrambled in her upper-storeys. Eccentric certainly but very kindly and cheerful. But still, sad to say, she acts her namesake. I suppose this proves how important names are, then.

   Hmm, me, I’m Miss Beh. Haha, Soon Chu always calls me Bear Bear. So, do you think I act like a bear? Uhm, I hope not.

   Im not going for NS!! Uhm, okie.. Dat’s somewhat of a relief although I wonder wut would have happened had I been chosen. Me wondering now who are the ppl that are chosen? Hmm, I hope krys won’t get chosen, I’ll miss her a lot.

   Hehe, thanks for the comments all of you. God bless all of you! Thank you, ET, Mei Yii, Gabriel, Joel, Kuah, and… I din miss anyone out rite? Hope not.. Nope, I didn’t.. =D *deep sigh of relief*

   Thanks for the coke cans Kuah. Btw, choon yu says you dun have bball on friday, but saturday got. So, wanna come cg this friday?

   Hmm, kay.. Lets see, wuts there to blog about life.. Well, my sleeping habits have been very weirded of late. In trying to adjust to school time after 2 weeks of holidays, you see.. Here’s my sleeping schedule:

2am - 5.10am                          bed
5.40am - 6.30am                     schoolbus
6.35am - 7am                          stairs outside makmal & CF room
9am - 10am                             classroom desk
1.20pm - 2pm                          schoolbus
3pm - 4pm                               bed
6pm - 6.15pm                          car
9.15pm - 9.18pm                     tuition
9.35pm -  9.40pm                    tuition

   So, this is my sleeping schedule, of course its slightly varied la.. And as the days go past, I sleep earlier at night and sleep less in the afternoon. Which means Im adjusting =)

   I’ll be playing piano in VYS church this saturday. I’m nervous and excited. Mostly, bcos piano is not my strong point. Its akin to asking a dog to swim and a duck to run. They can both perform the task but they can’t match the standards set by whales and cheetahs..

   If it wasn’t for Ps. Joshua’s so many messages on turning the ordinary into extraordinary, its not about your ability its about whether you’re willing to do it, yada yada.. Plus in CHC, there was that bit on stepping out of your comfort zone, challenging your abilities, yada.. And during my devotion this week, 2Cor (last chapter, i think), there was so many verses on having faith, you should rejoice in weaknesses cos God can turn it into a miracle, challenges make you stronger, God turns weaknesses into perfections, etc.

   So, wow, I suppose it must be God’s will. Somehow.. Especially since suddenly I’m thrown into this world of playing piano in every area of the church. For instance, Sunday school, Care Group, Youth service, Chinese service. So like, wow! Maybe there’s somthing special God is trying to tell me thru all this.. Hmm..

   Oh ya, one last thing. Playing the piano forces me to really rely on God instead of my own ability. Cos I know I can’t. Whereas in CF, sharing, worship leading, testimony, giving a message, praying, wtv.. I’ve done it so many times in CF oredi that it becomes I dun have to really really pray hard hard cos I’ve had experience. So… Im confident. But piano, now, this really scares me. And I think maybe it was God asking me to fully rely on Him.

   What do you think? =)

   Eh, is ET my only reader or wut? Where’s everybody?? Okie, Kuah I know you’re in Beijing (without telling me in advance!! bleh) but please spare a glance for my neglected blog please and drop a line or two. Hehe, the reason why I buried the past two blogs was cos I got discouraged by the lack of readers and feedback. You know? So, to avoid the same phenomena from happening I could use some help from you. My dear Mei yii, Im so glad you discovered my blog and pls accept my sincerest apologies for not informing you myself. I’ll be overjoyed to hear from you.

   Okie, Krys!! Bah, when are you going to post a comment? Sniff, you’re my bestest friend you know.. *sniffle wiffle miffle* Me still waiting here since last time when you were going to post a comment but didn’t for some reason or other… Tian Arnie!! My dear cute little encourager, it is a sad business that you can’t post comments cos you’re not a friendster-ian,in other words not a friendster member. (How can friendster be so  discriminating!!) But  please do continue visiting my blog k?

   Now to the rest of the silent readers, please do let me know of your existence. The reasons for it being, I like to know my audience and who I’m addressing cos my sole purpose of blogging is for you to read. If it wasn’t for you ppl to read, I’d be scribbling illegibly in my pink hardcover diary, using real paper and pen. Secondly, dun blame me if you dun see your name in print here if you dun tell me you’re a vistor of my blog. Cos I usually prefer mentioning names of ppl whom I know read my blog. (Trust me, I’ve seen cases of ppl who stopped reading other ppl’s blogs cos they din see their name in der..)

   Okay, now now I beg your forgiveness if I’ve been too harsh or crude. And ET, I award you Most Faithful Reader of the Month Award! You’ve earned it. =P God bless you all!

P.S= Crappiness of this post might be related to my current feelings of irritation. Which has nothing to do with you all but is rather due to, unbloggable things.. My apologies..

   Im back as I promised =) Kay, lemme tell you some of the stuff I learnt at CHC.

1. to love God passionately
2. shine brightly for Him in my everyday life (yes, even at home with brothers)
3. smile!! (no sucking on sour lemons here)
4. my relationship with God is just me and Him, it doesn’t matter what others think/say/do

Yep, so here’s the summarised list. But most importantly it was that emotional high, that cannot be expressed nor mimicked. Wow, so euphorically happily joyfully. The worship so free! Just awesome.

   Kay, now let’s move on to the second thing I wanna talk about. Hehe, just for fun, I made a list of what I find attractive in guys and I’m gonna post it here. Um, well actually since Form2, Krys and I have been making lists about everything including guys. So, here you go. =)

Note: before starting, please keep in mind that this is a wish-list. I know its unrealistic and bla bla.. So, guys please dun think me childish, immature, silly and whatnot..

1. charisma!!! (definitely, this tops the list. its the first thing I notice, the way they walk/talk)
2. confidence (believing in themselves, not insecure)
3. matured (especially when they talk)
4. oh wait, loves GOD!!! (this is numero uno. forget charisma this comes first. how could i forget… *smacks head**shifts it up*)
5. dresses well (not sloppy)
6. clever, smart, wise (so, i can learn from him. and have interesting conversations)
7. sense of humour (so, i can laugh a lot. and stay younger =P)
8. happy personality (you hang out with turkeys, you can’t fly. hang out with depressing ppl, you feel depressed)
9. doesn’t smoke/drink/gamble (needs no further explanation)
10. um, naughty, spunky.. (dun ask me why, but i’ve always liked naughty guys. i myself can’t comprehend it. there’s just something attractive about them. darn cool maybe?)
11. stands out from the crowd (a leader, an individual, someone who’s not afraid to just be himself, not conforming to peer pressure and all that)
12. considerably good-looking (umm, its human nature..)
13. someone I can have fun with (boring ppl out)
14. someone I can be myself with (comfortable, loves me for who I am)
15. respects me
16. kind & nice
17. trustworthy (i dun like ppl who lie to me. who knows to what extent their lies might go?)
18. someone I can get along well with (eh, what’s the word again? *scratches head* Got it, chemistry!)
19. has a nice body (guys with muscles are simply irresistably meltworthy..)
20. intellectual
21. cool hairstyle (i’ve had a thing for hair since std5. dunno why..=P)

Okie, that’s the end of my list. =) I know its all wishful thinking. But well, never hurts to dream. *grin* Ciaoz.

Coming Soon : my present list to Santa Claus

   Wow, I haven’t blogged for awhile.. Hehe, but that’s because life has ceased to be mundane. Its gotten to be great fun, especially the past weekend. Blek, mum is oni giving me another few minutes than I have to go for dinner! Gasp, have to start speed blogging.

   Kay, let’s see. I was at this city harest church(chc) conference this weekend and wow, it was absolutely awesome! You could literally see and feel the fire burning for God. CHC is one great church, definitely won’t miss any of their future conferences.

   Saturday was a really tiring day. Woke up real early. Oh ya, and Cow’s car fell in the drain but he was rescued by my neighbourhood’s friendly indians =D Hmm, I went to CHC with Cow, Krys, ET. Esther, kent, Shane, Mei Yan and Tian An. Yep. Mei Yan is back from singapore for the holidays!!! Haha, so happy to see her, she’ll be going back to singapore on 26th June, i think.

   Neway, on saturday ate mcD in Cow’s car, went to CHC. Ate chicken rice on the floor, left CHC at 2.30pm. Rushed to RLC(my church) for Kingdom keys class. Left RLC at 6.30pm. Went to pick up Tian An from his house, ate KFC in ET’s car. Then, go for conference in CHC till late at night. The whole day was spent in God’s house, in his presemce. Really gave me a spiritual recharge. And boy, trust me, I really needed that extra boost.

   K, i gtg. I’ll give you more later. Hehe, i’ll try to be back online later tonight. Ciaoz!

   So far, only two things to blog about. One, I had a near-death experience last week. Er, that is if I dramatise it la.. So, here was how things went. My mum wanted me to fix the light bulb so, I climbed onto the table and thank God I was bending my body cos went I turned my head my face was only inches away from the whirring fan. So, had I climbed on the table and stood straight, likely the fan would have decapitated me. Ouch. Apparently, my mum told me later I was supposed to stand on the chair not the table. Heh, too late.

   Next, on Monday the gas ran out in my house. And well, nobody knew how to fix the gas valve onto the gas tank. Cos you see, my kakak(maid) used to change the gas tanks before she left us to return to indonesia. So, the new kakak hasn’t learned how to change gas tanks. My mum is a working mum who doesn’t really know the house well. My dad (who might know) is in China on a business trip. As for my brothers and me, we have never touched the gas stove before.

   After spending ten minutes bent over the gas tank, trying to stuff it in, turn it this way and that way.. All in vain.. Hehe, in the end, we cooked Korean noodles in the rice cooker. =D Seriously, we boiled water in it first, put in the veges, the noodle, seasoning and the egg.. Hehe, I wonder if its been done before. It would have been quite funny had I not been thoroughly pissed at that moment.

   I was pissed cos my van was coming tp pick me up for tuition in 5 mins, I was starving. And my 2 brothers refused to help me cook, but was sitting in front of the tv watching it very happily. Bah, and I wanted to eat. Hmm, and I think partly because I had pms also. And you know wut, after smelling all the lovely aroma etc etc etc, and after cooking dinner myself, den, I had to leave for tuition without eating dinner. At all. Heh, I was in a bad mood that night..

   Then, today. I met Caleen, Yoong Chau and Su Inn at one utama. Eh, and I haven’t seen Su Inn in a long while. She came back from johor for her holidays. =) She looks the same as ever, still sweet, fair and lovely. Ever the angel, gentle, kind. She hasn’t changed one bit. Even her hugs feel the same. =) Su Inn you’re one of the nicest people I’ve met in my life!! Truly she is the closest thing I’ve met to an angel.

   Caleen and Su Inn are all old old friends. I met Caleen when I was in kindergarten, and we used to play "family family". I was the baby and Cal was the big sister. =D So fun and carefree.. I used to like being manja-ed over and all the pretend-crying a baby’s role required. I’ve grown out of that now, thank God.

   As for Su Inn (or Natalie now), she was my best friend in Std1. One of the very few friends I had. Back then, I was super quiet, nerdy and wore big plastic pink specs. Su Inn was downright sweet even back then. She had two long braids (is it called braids, plats or pig-tails?) running down each side of her shoulder and she tied it with ribbons. As she grew older, she tied two ponytails on each side of her head then the hair would be tucked under the rubberband again and she would look ever so sweet, neat and yet stylish. Hehe, the su inn style. I still remember how you tied your hair, dear. So, remember I told you today that when you move back from johor we need to do some catching up. Cos well, after knowing you for so long I really cherish your friendship. And sincerely, Im really glad you remain and angel and have not turned into a monster.

   Um, well, you know wut, I dun think either Cal or Su Inn reads my blog anyway. Ah well..

   Sadly, life is getting very routine and meaningless.. I hate it whenever I start feeling this way, which is once in a long blue moon. Like everything is so meaningless. Reading books, watching TV, studying, chatting with friends…, they all don’t offer much satisfaction.

   And today when I was surfing around for LotR websites I accidentally came across some porn websites. For the first time in my life, I saw naked bodies and all their exposed private parts and it didn’t arouse me at all. Nada. And that made me wonder, how can these very same images create so much lust, panting, moaning in men? Seriously, it seemed very shallow. I wonder if all those porn stars actually do climax? I wonder if its gotten mundane for them and its just part of their job and all the facial expressions are faked for the cameras..

   Anyway, to change the subject, lets talk about my teacher’s cat, Chester. He’s black with white paws and yellow glittery eyes. I think I don’t really like cats but then again we’ve both never had the chance to get really acquainted with each other. One of my earliest memories of cats was when I was holidaying somewhere by the beach. Port Dickson maybe? And I was eating ikan panggang with my family, having dinner. I was feeling rather happy because I have a soft spot for all animals and that place was packed with cats. Sincerely, the ratio of customers to cats must have been two:one. So, I started feeding the cats, throwing pieces of my ikan to the cats. Then, more and more cats came till I was completely surrounded by cats. And clearly I didn’t have enough ikan for so many cats, so, I decided I would stop feeding and proceeded to feed I myself only. But crap, those cats were vicious and started attacking me for the fish. Wow, that was scary. Thank God for my dad who saved me. That was my first upclose encounter and it wasn’t pleasant.

   Then, years later, I was at my hairdresser’s house and he keeps 2 cats and 2 dogs. When I was awaiting my turn on the sofa his cat came and sat beside me. So, i started stroking the cat but it turned around and bit me. Ouch. Second encounter and it was unpleasant too.. Third encounter, my school has a small host of tabby cats running around. Very adorable ones. One morning while I was sitting on the CF stairs, a cream female cat sat beside me. I reached out to stroke her and she bit me again. *sigh*

   Ergo, I have developed a distrust towards all cats. Then, now, there’s a cat at tuition called Chester. And he increases my dislike further. Cats seem to be so extremely demanding of attention and worship. Chester will just jump on the table and lie down right across your book so you can’t do any work. At all. And if you try to remove the book from under him, or worse lift him of the book. He will turn and scratch you. Even scratching and drawing blood from poor Pn Joyce who is Chester’s owner. And quite frequently too.. To bite your owner?? Wow, thank God dogs don’t do that. At least my Star doesn’t. For a pet to turn against its own owner? That really disgusts me.

   And Chester’s eyes.. They’re huge, yellow. glittery, glassy, and has amazing depths. I feel I could get lost in his eyes but yet he never blinks and his eyes looks positively evil. You know what, I don’t think I like Chester and most cats. As yet, I’ve never met a nice cat so all you cat-lovers out there please don’t start attacking me and my words.

   Maybe I’m just a dog person.

   Oh, and Kuah? I’m waiting to hear your opinions on porn stars..

   Thanx Kuah for your encouragement. =) I’ll try not to. And you’re always welcome to give me a prod whenever I show hints of abandonment. *grin* And ET, well… *ponders* You might try Diana Wynne Jones’s books? They’re not strictly mystery, but they’re really interesting. Oh wait, I know, Sherlock Holmes!!! Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He’s the greatest ever! I lurrve his books and mysteries. I’ve got the whole collection of all his mysteries. =P Neway, if you need any of the above books just ask me la, I’ve can lend them to you. Just remember to return them to me someday..

   Hmm, over the past few days, I think I’ve turn into a Tolkien fan. Mind you, not LoTR, but Tolkien. I’m attempting to read Silmarillion and wow, it has really increased my respect for Tolkien. Haha, I just took an online quiz about LoTR and I got 13 over 15. Yippee! Okay, I need to go eat dinner now. Byez!
