Dance to This Song!

Looks like staying up late for an entire week has finally taken its toll on me. Soo not a good time to fall sick. Handed in my final assignment this afternoon. Now I can officially say that semester 1 is over!

Haa.... exams starts next week for me.

7th June -Spatial Information Science 2
9th June - Maths for Surveying and Geometry B
11th June - Cartography 2
17th June - Surveying 2

And I can say with full confidence that I'm not prepared for any of them! ahaha probably not something I should be proud of. I've got six days to get up to speed with my non-existent revision. Wish me a miracle. I'm gonna need it.

Eat well and get enough rest guys! Being sick sucks.

Oh! and if you have time to spare, why not check out the video below?

My YouTube Story

Could you imagine at one point we once lived in a world where YouTube didn't exist? This year YouTube celebrates its 5th anniversary.

I've never really thought much about it but after watching the video above, YouTube's pretty amazing. What was once just a place to share videos has transformed into a source for education, inspiration and of course, entertainment.

Being a part of Life* TV made me think about why I'm doing all this. Is it just for the sake of churning out work? Or to keep people happy? Or is it just to satisfy my own selfish ambitions?

No! When I make videos, I want to make videos which shows heart and expression. To tickle the audiences' minds and inspire people. As simply or as silly as a video may be, I want to create those kind of videos.

So what's your YouTube story?

Mr Brightside

2 years ago I would have looked at this and said that it's pretty cheesy.

Right now..........it's still pretty cheesy. But I kinda get it.

The past 2 weeks have been filled with disappointments and breakthroughs.

Disappointments

I wasn't granted a Commonwealth Support Place(CSP) by RMIT. That means that next semester I'll still be a full-fee paying student. No choice but to reapply again at the end of the year.

My job application was rejected by McDonalds, for the second time. On the bright-side, I may have found a better job opportunity. We'll just have to wait and see.

Breakthroughs

Through some God-given chance I mustered the courage to share about my 'love drama' with 2 incredible friends. Honestly, I never intended to share this with anyone from the community, ever. But I man-up and did it! And for the record, texting counts.

This ugly issue of unforgiveness have also been brought to light. I'm very thankful to have a mentor with me on this journey.

And that's what you missed, on Corner of Memories!
(haha yea, I've been watching GLEE.)

After sharing with my friends about the stuff that I've been going through, I feel....liberated. I donno how to explain it but, it feels great.

Be awe by the power of sharing!

What now?

That question have been haunting me all week. What now?

Trust in God? Give it time? Pray? or take matters into your own hands?

Hmmmmm I think I'll take matters into my own hand BUT only after the other given 3 have been fulfilled sorta. Or when I'm actually brave enough to do it. Highly doubt so.

In the meantime, I've got assignments, flare dance, life* tv and exams to worry about. Can't wait for the semester to be over!

Cause I'm looking forward to better days ahead =)


~ Hello Hurricane, you can't silence my love ~

Here's A Toast

Love dramas.
Stories to tell our kids.
Non-coincidental chances.

And did I mention?

High-fives and text messages!

Today was an incredible day. One that I will definitely remember for many merry days to come.

AMP movement

Guess what people! I just paid to download a music album. This is definitely an accomplishment for me. It's been such a loong time since I've paid for music.

When Leon shared this band with me, I fell in love with them right away. Amp consist of three guys who hail from Maryland, United States. Their songs utilizes backing beats, with mellow keys and synthesizer. Combined with their singing and rapping style, Amp redefines the genre of gospel music.

What makes their songs really powerful, are the messages that they carry. Listening to the lyrics, they write about the struggles of be a Christian, a greater love, hope for better things, mainly gospel messages. But I sure most people would be able to relate with or enjoy their music.

Check 'em out and listen to their tunes here.

And if you really love their music, support them but buying their EP here:

http://ampmovement.bandcamp.com/

It's only $5.56 AUD for 6 awesome tracks written from the soul!

Peace!


~ "The Vision" - the lyrics are so powerful it pierces right through me ~

Move Along

Last month was just a whirlwind of events. Soooo much was going on that I didn't really have time to reflect and confront the problems I was having. Even at times when I was free, my mind would be racing through things that needed to be done eg. groceries, cooking, laundry, assignments. The frequency of which I cleaned the apartment have also decreased. Yea, I know. Poor effort.

Well just to recap the major events recently.

John Mayer - 3rd May at Rod Laver Arena.



















It was ok.

But what I really want to blog about is the 50km run!





















Even though each of us went through the same experience, what we got out of it couldn't be more different. To me, it was a real eye-opener. One thing for sure is that doing a 50km run isn't easy. And it's even harder doing it as a group. Try putting 7 people with different athleticism together for 10 hours. It would either bring out the best or the worst in us.

















team t-shirts

I admit that there were times where I felt a little (just a little) frustrated at the slower teammates. As much as I wanted to cross the finish line together with everyone, that didn't happen. By the 3rd leg our team was separated into 2 with a 30 minutes gap between us.



















pit stops to revitalize ourselves

You all are probably thinking I must be feeling guilty. Truth to be told I don't feel guilty at all. At the end of the day, each one of us made it to the finish line. And to me that's what matters. We were there to high-five and embrace those who made it to the finish line. No man dropped out, no man was left behind.

So so proud of the team. Such a blessing to be able to run with you guys. Hurray DAYAKS!!


















the support team eagerly anticipating our arrival

After the run, I woke up sore the next day BUT I felt really really good inside. At service, I finally took that first step to forgiveness. For such a long time I just wanted to kneel before God and lay everything before Him. But I was afraid.

Where did the sudden courage come from, who knows?

It's amazing how Pastor Tim puts it. It went something like this, "With each step we took(during the 50km), we were crushing Satan under our feet." Maybe I really was crushing Satan under my feet. And it felt damn good =) Alas, forgiving isn't an easy feat. But right now, I'm just glad that I've stopped running.

How did running 50km teach me forgiveness, who knows? (Serious, I have no idea. Maybe I just don't have the words to explain it yet.)

I might do it again next year. But this time everyone's gonna cross the finish line together. And we're gonna have super epic photos of us crossing the finish line with style and finesse.


















Alright! Time to move along.


~ Oxfam(100km)? ahaha we'll see ~

Man Oh Man...

After 10 hours 9 minutes of running/walking/trekking/climbing and a little bit of skipping we made it across the finish line. It's crazy and at the same time amazing how we managed to pull-off a 50km run.

Well done DAYAKS! And to the support team a big BIG - Thank You! So glad that I was able to do this with you all.

It was quite an eventful day, but I'll probably blog more about it later.

In the meantime......
