| From The Inside Out |
[Jun. 18th, 2008|11:31 pm] |
A thousand times I've failed Still your mercy remains And should I stumble again Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control Consume me from the inside out Lord Let justice and praise become my embrace To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else, my purpose remains The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control Consume me from the inside out Lord Let justice and praise become my embrace To love You from the inside out
Chorus 2x Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out |

| ENFP |
[Feb. 12th, 2008|01:53 pm] |
|
ENFPs are both "idea"-people and "people"-people, who see everyone and everything as part of an often bizarre cosmic whole. They want to both help (at least, their own definition of "help") and be liked and admired by other people, on bo th an individual and a humanitarian level. They are interested in new ideas on principle, but ultimately discard most of them for one reason or another. Social/Personal Relationships: ENFPs have a great deal of zany charm, which can ingratiate them to the more stodgy types in spite of their unconventionality. They are outgoing, fun, and genuinely like people. As SOs/mates they are warm, affectionate (l ots of PDA), and disconcertingly spontaneous. However, attention span in relationships can be short; ENFPs are easily intrigued and distracted by new friends and acquaintances, forgetting about the older ones for long stretches at a time. Less mature ENFPs may need to feel they are the center of attention all the time, to reassure them that everyone thinks they're a wonderful and fascinating person. ENFPs often have strong, if unconvential, convictions on various issues related to their Cosmic View. They usually try to use their social skills and contacts to persuade people gently of the rightness of these views; his sometimes results in their negle cting their nearest and dearest while flitting around trying to save the world. Work Environment: ENFPs are pleasant, easygoing, and usually fun to work with. They come up with great ideas, and are a major asset in brainstorming sessions. Followthrough tends to be a problem, however; they tend to get bored quickly, especially if a newer, more interesting project comes along. They also tend to be procrastinators, both about meeting hard deadlines and about performing any small, uninteresting tasks that they've been assigned. ENFPs are at their most useful when working in a group w ith a J or two to take up the slack. ENFPs hate bureaucracy, both in principle and in practice; they will always make a point of launching one of their crusades against some aspect of it.

it really is a malfoy-complex:
they're intelligent (and they know it), talented (and they're not afraid to tell you), arrogant, fiercely loyal; they're good people, don't think they're evil monsters or anything, they're just not nice. and deep inside, they're just insecure little boys. |

They start in my toes Make me crinkle my nose Wherever it goes I always know That you make me smile Please stay for a while now

i stopped on the streets in london because the street was suddenly filled with you, spinning around trying to find the source of the smell. then i remember that you are far far away. |

| [ | mood |
| | contemplative | ] |
I've been living with a shadow overhead I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed I've been lonely for so long Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away Just in case I ever need 'em again someday I've been setting aside time To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I wanna do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love Ohhhhh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine I've been searching but I just don't see the signs I know that it's out there There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light Not somebody just to get me through the night I could use some direction And I'm open to your suggestions
All I wanna do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love And if I open my heart again I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real Or if anybody feels the way I feel I need inspiration Not just another negotiation
All I wanna do is find a way back into love I can't make it through without a way back into love And if I open my heart to you I'm hoping you'll show me what to do And if you help me to start again You know that I'll be there for you in the end |

| driving! |
[Feb. 23rd, 2007|11:47 am] |
i've gone for TWO driving lessons already and i'm loving it!
i was really excited at the beginning of lesson one but i left the school feeling kinda disconcerted. well partly because it was 2230 and i had to go home on my own since parents were too busy entertaining guests to pick me up. it wasnt all that bad i guess, since i got to know hakim&jared who walked me to the mrt station (: and they're pretty cool dudes, studying at laselle! i liked them cause they were very confident and easy in their own skin, and not trying to impress anybody if you know what i mean. anyway, driving for the first time was a really surreal experience because i felt like i was playing a video game! only with real consequences. i suppose you can blame that on the excellent graphics and equipment of modern video games. daytona, anyone? but it unnerved me because i realised i was more used to jamming the accelerator and swerving any way i liked (my favourite driving game is crazy taxi, where you get points for breaking all the rules :D but i suppose it would be a good idea not to tell my instructor that)
my second lesson though, was Excellent. my instructor was nazran, and apart from the fact that he was cute (like santee!) and funny, he was also a fantastic teacher. he's like reeves in the sense that he really knows how to teach, to make you understand and to get you where you need to. exam-smart, some might call it, and i think that's probably the best kind of smart there is. i can't wait for my third lesson ! i'll be going out on the roads soon :D (yes i haven't yet) |

Yellow is a tickle of laughter White is a whistling dream
Red is a scream, a strangled cry Orange is the sputtering flames
Grey is the murmuring mist Silver is the rattle of chains

| | superwoman | ] | So i'm working at WongPartnership now, and i actually like it pretty well. the working environment is nothing at all like the other law firms; i've heard so many horror stories about drew. it actually feels a lot like rj, except that the work i get is a lot less intellectually challenging. let's put it this way- like i was telling shen-ru, if the whole uni thing doesn't work out for me, i've got a bright future ahead of me as a photocopying lady; i know that machine Inside Out now. i'll set up my own photocopy shop and maybe take over seng city trading in rj! they call that entrepeneurial spirit nowadays i believe. i think partly the reason why wongp reminds me of school is cause i'm surrounded by a lot of young pupils. i hung out with the interns (christine yinjie kelv ali <33) and now that they're gone, the pupils ! plus, trevor and shen-ru are pretty young too. and they're really nice to me; i'm actually really glad that the switch happened cause otherwise i think my wongp experience could have been very different.
then again, working at wongp has taught me a few things- it's shown me how a big firm works, that the lawyers don't know A Thing about how the system works and that the secretaries run the show, and most importantly, that clerical work really isn't for me. i actually thought it might be fun being a secretary, brainless work printing photocopying filing, but i am bored out of my wits! at least this way i get to catch up on my reading- i finished One hundred years of solitude and am in the midst of lolita, both highly inappropriate books for the workplace, but i don't care :D and trevor is giving me more pupil-ish things to do, like research and proof-reading. he seems impressed with my intellect (i dont know why, i havent done or said anything remotely intellectual in this place) but it's nice to know that someone thinks i'm smart i guess.
i think humanz has spoilt us all. elisa was telling me the other day how she struggled so badly with law at the beginning because it was so dull compared to humans! (she was in the hwachong humans programme) on the other hand, all the sciencers welcomed law as a refreshing change and an intellectual challenge -.- i was actually considering reading law simply because i like the idea that law is not just a subject, but it teaches you to think. but i dont think i would want to practise law, so reading law would really be a waste of time and money. and working here i get to see the lawyers and their lives, or rather, their lack of any such thing hahah.
i was so miserable on the first day when i didn't bring a book because i didn't know i was going to be so incredibly bored. because of the nature of the work and the sensitivity of the documents, wongp is very protective of their network, which means that only lawyers and pupils are given internet access and lowly secretaries Arent. and even the lawyers cant access gmail cause apparently it runs an unprotected script on the homepage and so is dangerous. well anyway my colluding with trevor to deceive Tech didnt work but i have internet access because trev is nice :D [you will get good karma trev!] the worst part was that they even uninstalled minesweeper and solitaire ! i mean seriously, how much distraction are those games going to cost right.
and wongp is actually situated in a very nice place ! the 5th floor of onegeorgestreet has an absolutely incredible view and i love bringing people there to watch their reactions on their faces the first time they see it. plus there's soo much food everywhere! it actually makes for quite a difficult time deciding where to eat everyday during lunch or dinner hahah. i still havent satisfied my craving for paella at tapas tree though!
anywayy. wakeboarding! it has become my weekly adrenaline fix and although i'm still not very good at it i'm still craving to ride ! they're having a vday special today, one-for-one! but its very loser to go ride on veeday just because oneforone so i will not do that even though evan asked ! i am still dying to watch babel though and jon if you're reading this it is All Your Fault. :[
okay yay i have used up like 15min of boredom time and i will see if there is any work for me to do now. btw the most beautiful earrings in the world are at swarovski! guys if you need last minute present ask me where to find :D
cant wait for the weekend i will go riding ! and tennis on friday afternoon (halfday:D) |

but seriously. like everytime we call my grandma, or when we visit her, the first thing she says is, "Dear ah, darling ah". Without fail! it's even more amazing considering that she never learnt english! and imagine that in a korean accent- cute to the max.
And the other day my grandpa discovered some new sambal chilli sauce thing that he likes a lot. so he bought a bottle for me, and the Adorable thing is he wrapped the bottle carefully in newspaper so it wouldn't break! and he said, very seriously, "you cannot put your chopsticks inside okay? contaminate the sambal". so he provided me with those disposable plastic spoons to use each time i wanted to eat the sambal. and he'd washed Each one carefully and wrapped in in tissue paper so it was clean! so meticulous and thoughtful hahah whou would do that nowadays? i love him so much <33 |

| | nostalgic | ] | Finally I update! so i just got back from the Maldives, and it was Wonderful. i'd almost forgotten how beautiful it is there, not having been there since about 6 years ago. it has the sort of natural beauty that induces a kind of awe that can only be experienced when you are actually there. like how do you take a photo of the ocean? believe me, we tried, but it never turned out as beautiful as reality. so after a while we just gave up and tried to take photos in our minds instead :D
going back to the maldives felt like going home, really. all our friends coming to the airport to pick us up and everyone doing their best to make the stay happy for us. of course, giraavaru was fun because of uncle rauf. i suppose his managerial style is old-fashioned, since in most cases nowadays the owner of the island doesn't really have much say in the daily running of the resort. but uncle rauf still holds the reins in giraavaru, which is why we love it there! it's almost like having our own resort, with the people at our beck and call, and of course, everything FOC :D apparently he's doing a deal with the ritz on another of his islands, but i doubt we'll have the same treatment there; they can't possibly let us have free rooms and food and everything at the ritz right?
so anyway, this post is mainly for me to keep my memories so i don't forget! so if you're the sort of person who doesn't like looking at other people's travel photos i suggest you stop here.
30th: the plane ride there was fun! my first plane ride as an 18yearold and i drank a Singapore Sling, champagne and baileys :D we sat economy class while our parents sat raffles (as usual- part of my parents' plan to keep us from becoming spoilt brats) but they told the crew to take special care of us, and they did, so it was nice :D
and then arriving at the airport and walking out and seeing uncle rauf uncle riza auntie nas mary aishath mohd uncle adnan auntie antu ali Mohamed amsoodha and the huge bouquets of flowers they gave to us and more importantly the warm smiles and hugs of welcome! They really helped to make it feel like home. So if my parents want to blame anyone for giving me the idea of staying and working in the Maldives instead of coming home, they can only blame them :D although they were initially quite supportive of the idea of me working in say giravaru guest relations for a few months. That is, until they saw I was serious. Hee.
getting on the speedboat to go to giravaru sonevagili male' Anywhere! the speedboat rides are one of the things i'm going to miss the most.
31st: Unfortunately I spent the whole day working on uni apps! Can you imagine the beautiful sun sand sea outside and me stuck inside doing essay -.- well actually i was in the coffee shop under the sun but STILL i couldn't swim snorkel dive do Anything.
But night was new year's eve celebrations! dinner was an incredible spread and ate until couldn't walk. then there was dancing at disco and drinks, but i chose to spend the last 2 hours of 2006 at my favourite place in giravaru- on the jetty with the sea on the wind and beneath my feet and the moon and stars above. sinying and i stayed there and mohd came along to talk for a bit, away from the crowded bar until the countdown, when obviously we had to go back and be with family. it was nice though, ringing in the New Year with all the happy people around, giving toasts and hugs. some guests let off fireworks too! and it was really pretty :D
1st: went sailing on katamaran with Usman and Uncle Niza! usman is Bosnian and has the most incredible life story ever! was highly educated and high job so was captured during Bosnian war, and fed 1 piece of bread a day, and 1 bottle of water shared among 6 guys. according to him they wanted to break their spirits so had to break them physically first. later on they were given food but it was all leftovers, like the chicken bones after the guards finish a meal. and then he managed to buy his life and escaped pretending to be a civ soldier. but because he had muscle catharsis (is that what it's called?) he had to be supported, so they pretended he was drunk, especially since they chose a celebratory day to escape. he escaped to serbia because if found in bosnia they would take him to fight, and there'd be no point in escaping then. so in serbia, with no papers and no way to access his bank account he had no way out. his friends helped to house him, shuffling him between them so as to lessen the risk of detection. eventually, after travelling to and from all the various embassies and the UN (which told him to come back after a month o.o and after he kicked up a fuss saying 'i have no papers no identification Nothing how can you ask me to come back after one month what am i supposed to do in the meantime!') he coincidentally met a friend he knew through sailing competitions 10 years back who had been in the Maldives working and so not been involved in the war. and he finally managed to get a passport from Serbia (since under the old federation of Yugoslavia they had the same passport) and off he went to the Maldives! in his own words, 'from hell to paradise'. Until today he says that his survival instincts are very sharp, and that like a cat, wherever he falls, he lands on his feet. what struck me was when he said that 'now eating for me is just like fuel.' it's so unbelievable it's like the sort of story you think only happens in movies, and it's things like these that remind me that they are real stories. i will never forget those afternoons in the coffeeshop with the blue blue sky just above our heads and the blue blue sea just below our feet and stretching out forever in the distance and usman sitting at our table telling his story in his cute slavic accent, his nose forever burnt by the sun; surreal doesn't even begin to describe it.
SO that morning we sailed to kodhiparu, which literally means "small island" and on which lives only 3 people! there's a shark pool too, where they keep young sharks, turtles and sting rays, feeding them and letting them go when they're old enough to fend for themselves. the amazing thing about the maldives is that the sharks don't attack. uncle niza and mohd say it's because the sharks have enough food to eat. uncle niza said that in his generation and in his father's and grandfather's generations there haven't been a single incident of shark attacking and eating man. and on kodhiparu there was a ship that was built in 1937 which the owner used as a launch to ferry people around, but one day it ran into a reef. and the police had to come to pull it out. so after that the owner sold to the caretaker of the island for US$1! good deal, if you ask me.
and just nearby was the sandbank! beautiful beautiful patch of sand in the middle of the sea that is perfectly formed. and the colours of the sea as it slowly laps against the shore. it's like the sort of untouched beauty that only nature can create. usman told us about an island called fomula, where unlike All the other islands in the Maldives, doesn't have a lagoon around it. so immediately outside the edges of the island is the deepwater, and 20foot waves. one of the unusual things about the island is that it has a matriarch system and is the most heavily dependent on agriculture! partly because waves so high difficult to go fishing! and unlike elsewhere where fishing is day trips, because of the sea in fomula fishing is seasonal trips; and sometimes the men don't come back. so eventually a matriarchal system evolved. but now that they built a sort of makeshift harbour it has become slightly more accessible and things might change. it's supposed to be one of the 2 islands in the Maldives that has mango trees Everywhere! sort of like oranges in cheju. and its the only island in the whole of Maldives that is its own atoll.
and we went to soneva gili, which is one of the most beautiful island resorts i have ever been to. the slogan's quite stupid actually, 'Ever Soneva', but that doesn't detract one bit from its beauty. we just found out that uncle adil owns the island, which is why we could just waltz in and have lunch there. i've decided i'm going to have my honeymoon there :D and mischa barton was there too!
and uncle Niza i love! he was so sweet going with us fishing swimming snorkelling sailing so that he could take care of us and make sure that we were safe. |

| sinying's sweet 16th |
[Apr. 16th, 2006|10:37 pm] |

i must post about sinying's birthday!
apart from her crazy party during which she managed to squeeze over 40 pp into our house, and the ipod video AND new phone she got (jealous), the highlight of her birthday was the present i gave her! in honour of this being her sweet 16th, and keeping in mind that, all things going my way, i probably won't be in town during her special 18th or big 21st, i gave her an extra special present((:
so i bought her 16 presents, either things she's been dying to have, or things in line with the 'sweet 16' theme, or things that she'll loove. with the 16 presents, i organised a treasure hunt! and while she happily trudged around the house digging up her 16 presents, i baked a lovelylovely chocolate cake! with each present i put a candle, and the last present was the cake i baked, with a candle already in it. that makes 16 candles, which we lighted and she blew out. it was one of the best presents i've come up with so far; i had fun giving it, and she loved getting it.
it's so nice giving people presents they like. to me, there's no point giving an okayy present to someone for their birthday. the aim is that when the person unwraps the present, their reaction is 'wow thanks!(((:' and they can't stop smiling after that. so yay for happy presents~
happy sweet 16th baby!<3 |
