It's just one of those days.

Just one of those days.

I feel dead.

I have no idea why. Sleeping isn't helping.

I'm thinking a lot about starving African kids nowadays when I eat. It's not doing much for my appetite.

Uh huh.

I'm one lucky girl. Don't ask. I'm afraid it might jinx my good luck.

Oh I am soooo thankful God.

I finished season 2 of Grey's. Yes yes, I KNOW. Stop drooling over McDreamy and the vet and start doing assignments. Pronto.

And I always wonder why I even bother to stress later. Procrastinate now and stress later. How sad is that?

Gosh, my posts are depleting. That's sad as well.

A dedication.

She's 18 today.

And to think I only got to know her better in our upper secondary years. Like seriously. And I've known who she was for her brightness all through primary and secondary school.

NOW. I know way more than that. And I'm glad :)

NOW. Oh she is one girl you can't miss getting to know. You JUST can't.

Teehee.

Yup, and oh sooooooooo single :) (She's gonna kill me for this) :P


Did I mention her infectious laughter. It's her trademark. You can hear her a mile away. And you don't even have to try :D

Anyway, HAPPPY BLESSED 18TH GERMAE!!!

The little girl and the old man.

Sunday, April 13, 2008

The little girl sat at the table. Waiting for the food to arrive. Surrounded by family and love, she really couldn't ask for more.

But she did, you see. Always complaining about not getting enough of almost everything. Silently, she complained. Not getting enough pocket money. She was never satisfied with the way she looked. The good food and soft bed she came home to everyday. Her education, she sometimes took for granted by lazing around and never really taking the time to be serious. Yes. So every now and then she had a complain. Albeit small, but still a complain nonetheless.

The food came.

Way too much food for such a small family. But it has always been that way. The family never lacked food. It almost always came to a point when they had to pack the food.

She started to eat the good food laid out before her. Oh how she enjoyed it. Maybe not as much as she should have enjoyed it because she was so accustomed to good food.

"Here, eat this", said daddy.

"Here, have some of this", said mummy.

"Enough daddy! I'm so full, I'm forcing myself to eat this", said the little girl.

"Enough mummy, you eat it", said the little girl.

"We always order too much food", the little girl thought silently. Indeed they always did.

After the whole family was full with the good food, they sat at the table making small talk. Laughing at each other.

An old man walked in the restaurant at that moment. He was not very old. But old enough to be considered old. Wearing an old worn out shirt, a sarong and a pair of slippers, he obviously did not look very well off.

The little girl saw the old man walk around the restaurant. Nobody paid attention to him. A poor old man never receives much these days. The girl saw the old man search his wallet and pull out a few dollar notes. He counted them. Then looked at the prices of the food items on display.

Finally, he went to the counter to place his order. The girl was curious as to what he ordered knowing that the food in the restaurant was not cheap at all.

The old man sat at the next table. Alone.

The little girl and her family got up to leave the place. As she was leaving, she saw what the old man ordered.

What she saw, she will never forget.

The old man, probably not being able to afford most of the food on the menu, only ordered a plate of white rice and some curry on it. No side orders. No vegetables or even a piece of chicken or an egg.

And only moments ago she was complaining about the excess food she was always given.

It took an old man with his plate of white rice to show this small girl how fortunate she was. To be able to order the food she desired and get almost everything she wanted.

A lessoned learned through the life of another. Priceless.

Random.

I was checking my email.

An email from Monash came about a talk on how to overcome procrastination.

It's a sign I tell you. A HUGE sign with it screaming "Go for it!. God knows you need it."

But you see, I never was good at listening. Not when I don't want to listen.

Monash Cultural Night '08

Sunday, April 06, 2008

Apparently, the Monash Cultural Night is the biggest social event in the Monash student calender. This event is organised by MUISS (Monash University International Student Services) every year. Guess it still takes international students to show us a good time huh? Oh well. We'll get there. Malaysia Boleh, right? For the record, the emcees who were Malaysians except for one were not too bad. At least they looked good. Anyway, I'll leave the pics to do the talking. Did not take too many pics as my cam was kinda full. Check out Facebook for more.

I had a great time minus the bad organising of food. Of course I was with my babes. Yeah and someone couldn't make it. For the record, there were TONS of cute guys :) Just didn't manage to snap their pics for you :(

In advance, I'm sorry for the bad pics. I've never been handy taking pictures when people are moving :(

Theme was Colours of the World.

Awesome light show to get the crowd in the mood.

Dikir Barat. Malaysian performance with drums, clapping and singing.

Shoro Ritu. Traditional dance from Bangladesh.

OOOO.These girls were hot. Obviously they were working the crowd. Folk dance from Bangladesh.

Flavours of India. An Indian contemporary dance. They were one of the highlights of the night.

London School of Economics. No joking. Thats the band's name. Maybe they are all aiming to go there. They weren't half bad la.

Capoeira School. Brazilian blend of martial arts and dance. They were so fast my cam just couldn't take much more :(

Indonesian Youth Society. Saman dance from Indonesia.

Shradda. Singer who sang in Spanish.

Haha. Now here's a story. Albeit a little inconsequential for those who don't know him. He used to be my ex-school mate. But he probably doesn't remember me. I was never one of the popular kids and he was. So yeah, we never knew he had a voice and I seriously remember his voice as whiny. Surprisingly, he was not half bad. And he looks better since the last time I saw him. Oh, he's Aiman Hakim btw for those not from SS17.

Camwhore time!!! Mae, Lene, Me.

Mae and Lene.

Them again. I so nice la.

Mae, Me, Lene.

Evelyn and I.

Lene and I.

Ok ok. Sorry for the blurry pics and all. And there were seriously waaaay more performances than that. I was just tooo lazy to snap. I just enjoyed myself :D I paid for it! And I didn't even get my food :( Oh well. There was a great fashion show as well. Yup, no pics of that either. Will try to get them from friends later. The best performance went to a Persian band called Guitaraf. The international kids sure know how to liven things up :) Kudos to them for trying to fit in. And give US Malaysians a swell time as well. By the time I left, I was dead tired and half deaf because of all the screaming and cat calls. Yes, all the hot girls get all the attention. And people like me get the pain in the ears :(

Anyway, I had a great time with great friends and company.

Maybe I deserve it for doing work at the last minute. But I didn't start RIGHT at the last minute :(Why can't my forgetfulness ever give me a break :( :( :( :(

Oh whatever. I'll just lift my head high and make sure the tears stay there. Cause I won't cry. I won't.

Not like I'm even remotely near to tears but it adds a little drama. But I am a teeny bit unhappy.

This blog is getting dry. Much like my life nowadays.

Going for Monash Cultural Night soon. Will update with pictures later.

Quickie!

God works in such mysterious ways its amazing.

After 2 weeks of fretting about my missing file, I found it right back where it was when I apparently lost it. Right on my desk. In the same classroom. Like it was never touched. I was beyond wondering how it could still be there. Honestly, I gave up all hope that I would find it. Today I went to class and saw it there. Even my gladness at seeing it had diminished. But I really am glad I found it now :)

Currently litening to The Click Five - Empty. Yea I know you aren't interested to know. Yes I am fickle and have changed from constantly listening to The Fray to numerous songs now. The Fray reminds me too much of Grey's so I try not to listen to it too much :)

Happy April Fool's Day. Not like you or I celebrate it. This day used to hold so much fun and laughter when I was younger and actually took the liberty to play childish pranks on friends and siblings. Today I would not have remembered it if not for the radio. I just assumed it was like any other day. Much like everything in life, the childhood innocence of an extra fun April Fools Day has lessened in years. Sometimes, a small prank can be quite useful in the life of a stressed out uni student. Reminds you of the time when you took such delights in it. Now you just brush away and grumble when you think of it or if someone plays a harmless one on you.
Yup, my sis played one on me. The old "there's something in you hair" trick. Yes, stop rolling your eyes. I fell for it. But just for that few seconds it was like being her age again. It felt quite nice. Then I smacked her for it :D

Till next time.

XOXO,
Sara

Uh oh.

Tomorrow is looming closer and closer. Somehow, time seems to speed up when you are heading for D-day.

Oh Lord, please please please let it just be in my head.

Did I mention Daughtry rocks my music world at the moment? No? Nevermind. Just trying to fill up space in this dull white patch I call my blog.

Go back to your very exciting lives my dear readers.
