The weekend...

A weekend of celebration. A weekend of fun. A weekend of meeting ex-schoolmates. 100 years of Adventism in Sabah, and boy, was the campus full with people and cars! Enjoyed the weekend, just not being stuck in "traffic" for almost an hour!

Also, the first PKs Conference was held yesterday. It was a whole day event and by the time it was done at 10 p.m., I just wanted to crawl into my bed and sleep. When I was informed about the conference a couple of weeks ago, I didn't have high hopes of having fun. But at the end of the day, I think I did have fun meeting other PKs and participating in the activities. :)

On a totally different note, yesterday marked the last day of me being confined to the red "P" sticker. I'm off the hook, finally, after two years! Hehe.

Bye bye "P"!

This coming weekend will be another hopefully, fun weekend.

Take care, people!

Survivor...

One...

Two...

Three...

This puppy is the second of only two that has survived Mr. Parvovirus that has so far caused the deaths of Poncho, Mocha, Dobby and Bella this year.

Luckily this one survived...never fails to make me smile everyday :D

Realization

My Dad was a teacher. My Mum was a teacher. My brother was a teacher. I remembered saying to myself that I will never end up being one, and yet I did just that last year. Do I regret my decision? Absolutely not. I think I now realize that my passion IS teaching. Haha!

Just a while ago, one of my Primary 3 Mars student called and hearing them say they appreciate you gives a strange, heartwarming feeling. I must have done something right to deserve their appreciation and that just makes me miss my students, my ex-colleagues, and the school itself all over again. It has been a year, and I still haven't gotten over it. I may act like I'm happy with my decision to quit, but inside there's still a feeling of regret. I guess it's good to feel like this because, to me, it means that I was not entirely unhappy with my first stint as a schoolteacher at such a challenging setting. :D

Feelings aside.

I've been listening to Josh Groban's "Noel" album over and over again - this means that I'm already in the mood for Christmas! Hehe!

December will be a busy, busy month. So will the months after it. Can't wait! :P

Anyway people, be safe always and have a good restful weekend wherever you are!

This was what boredom led me to...

The three musketeers...

Bongkong...ha ha...don't ask me how that name came about...

and this one we called "Raja Junior"...

Raja

Have a great weekend, people!

My all-time favourite song by BOND.  I finally found the piece and I am currently trying to learn the song by heart.  The notes are not difficult to play, it's the speed. 

 I might not be able to play this fast, but I hope to at least play the notes correctly. Hi hi.

Have a great week ahead, people! 

In case you forgot...

I received this in my email today.

An angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."

1. Pray.
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say NO to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let
go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time
to go to bed to try to pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favourite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you, Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. God
has a way of turning things around for you.

"So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
~ Isaiah 41:10

God is good all the time.

Happy Sabbath. :D

Silence...I keel you!

I have been watching Jeff Dunham and his characters on Youtube over and over since Sunday, and I have decided that my favourite character is Achmed the Dead Terrorist, ha ha!

Enjoy Achmed's antics...

It's not Christmas yet, but here's Achmed singing "Jingle Bombs"...

Hehe.

Oklah...Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. :D
