Feliz Navidad

Status: Calm.

After witnessing Granduncle's baptism today, I realised that Methodist Church seemed pretty similar to Catholics. Well. Granduncle became kinda thin. But he still looked very energized to everyone. His speaking and actions.. I'm so proud of him. Really.

For being the strong man that I've always know. Honestly, I have no idea of what actually led him to make this decision to go through baptism. But I really hope that it wasn't pressuring from his family side, but genuinely from his heart that he wants to accept Christ and to take this step of faith.

Woke up early this morning just to reach JB at 0800. Despite the squeezy journey back and forth, it was worthed everything. Well. I seldom find such a chance such that when I speak, all (Emperor, Empress, Grandma, Aunt, and XX)... ALL got to listen to Walkergal speaking. Hurhur... Cause they don't have much of a choice? All stucked in the same car as me and its such a loooong journey. =P

So I talk about my life, my travels.. At one point, Empress covered her ears cheekily. Sigh. Am I such a bad speaker? Why can't everyone just listen to what I've got to say?? =.=

After the whole visit ended, I went to some supermarkets there and got toilet papers and vitagens for The Shell. Dropped off back to The Shell and the rest went home subsequently.

Well. It seemed like today I get to know that I've many cousins there? Its really amazing. Over a short lunch. 2 tables reserved. It was just nice. 1 for all the adults and 1 for us, TEENS. Okay fine. I became the eldest at the table. Again. =.=

Well. Its really cool. I got one cousin who is studying medicine. And his sister, in college now, aiming to be an accountant. In fact, there's another cousin taking Accountancy and Finance over at Australia. Hmmm.. I have never had the opportunity to talk to them much. Because during CNY visits, everything gets noisy and messy. The focus of CNY visits weren't quite much on conversations. Most of the time it was on the red packets and food. Well. I really think today's meeting was very timely. I thank God for all the conversations and opportunities of discoveries. Hahaha. I might really need their (doctors) help next time.

I'm Ever (GREEN)
You are freshness, renewal and in hot demand... You believe that sometimes it is best to start things fresh just for the energising buzz an adventure gives you. You love exploring, testing the limits and reaching out and raising bar...

Gave my bomb shelter this afternoon a good scrub. A good excuse to work out my arms actually. Sigh. Ah Ying Auntie commented that I looked like her yoga teacher. Not my appearance... but my build. =.= The thing is, most yoga teachers are sweet looking and have toned arms and its not my case for BOTH. The aftermath from Hokkaido. =.=

I'm glad that I fought hard for the things I have these days. Did lots of self reflections these days. Well. Towards the end of the year, its always a norm for me to do it more often. Hahaha.. so its no big deal cause I do it all the time! =P

You know what people? Sometimes it seemed why we seemed to be stronger (mentally) than others, more sensible than others, its due to the shits around that shaped and moulded you to the way you are now. Not that due to the thousands shits that you faced so it meant you must be in a good shape now. No. Just that you seemed being able to grab on a float in this big drowning sea.. faster than those who are still struggling for survival. Well, having a float in your hands doesn't mean holding on to them for your dear life is enough. For those with hearts (I hope all have), you got more things to do. You got to save those around you. Got it?

Where is this sense of goodness in A previously? What happened to it? Were there opportunities given for A to voice out everything? Yes. Was it taken? No. This is not a whose-fault issue. What happen to that sense of gratefulness?

I thank God for the discipline these days. *SMILES* I've finally completed 90% of my FYP. Just sent the full format to FYP Woo. IF there's anymore things to be improved on (of course there will always be), that would be the 10% remaining. Haha. I hope what I've done has met FYP Woo's expectation. Of course, if it has, I'm quite sure he would add in more things for me to achieve. Whatever it is, I've cleared my own expectations of FYP completion for now and I'm all set to welcome the new year. :) Finally, tomorrow Walkergal aka The Town Noob, is gonna out to town to catch the 2007 Christmas lightings.

Oh, do you readers know whats the bomb shelter? Don't think too deeply. Its very simple actually. Just a toilet. :)
