Night is day and Day is night

4 more days and spring term is coming to a end. Pass few days have been only 3-5 hrs sleep a day. Literally sleepign in the day because i work through the night. Last night i jus spend a night in school working on my animation. Finally completed. I cant say i am totally please about it but is good enough for now. I show my professor the almost complete one, he said I am too critical on myself. Lol...I guess i can be too into it sometimes, but having to know the amount of $ i am putting into this, I am giving it all. Last night was pretty fun, Free pizza and drinks and was screening films in the room while we do our work. Can be distracting though. At around 7+am in the morning I am already dozing off in front of the PC while editing my another assignment. Not alot of people stayed over..from 6am onwards...is quiet ...nice... ...that explains why i am dozing off...

June 8th would be travelling 7hrs up to Blue ridge mountain. Going to stay in wooden cabin for a week. Nature...the sound of running streams..the birds chirping...Trekking... Sketching at the porch facing the mountain..and if i am lucky, to see bears roaming somewhere! I am so excited. Next Fri till Thur will be working alot to earn $ to cover this trip. I am sure is all worth it! ;)

Aint they the sweetest!! I hope they find a home soon....

The kittens in the backyard

Yesterday evening when i enter my house backyard to park my bicycle. I was greeted by a tiny winy kitten crying out pitifully. It is gray with white patches on its feet (like wearing white socks!) It so so so tiny that i do not know what to do with it! N then i heard another one crying under the shed. Oh..I m such a sucker for animals! The little kitty then slowly cry his way back under the shed. Later in the evening i went kroger and get some cat food...

This morning i mix the cat food with water and place it near the shed i found them. I hear no cries from them and was pretty worried they have not survived the night. :( This afternoon when i return home, the kittens came out! Both of them! The other one is a white with grey patches. Awww...they are so so adorable. I then ask Kat out to see the kittens. She fell in love with them too...feel so sorry for the pooor kittens.

Just then a pretty lady who stay in the carriage huse behind us came home. I never seen her before...She came up to us and told us this might b the kittens from her cat... who die on Friday night..been hit by a car. :( She then went out to buy some kitten's milk while me and Kat went back n took a spray for fleas to clean the kittens up.

This is the 1st time i did this. It is horrifying to me...i almost cried. Because they were so young, we cant spray directly on them, we have to use cotton balls to wipe them. Kat say to clean from head to body. I guess i didnt clean the head enough, beacuse all the fleas are like crawling out of the poor kitten head!!! Is such a sad sight. They are so fleas infested. I try to clean as fast as i can as i can tell the kittens are having a hard time with all the fleas trying to stay on her. :( Finally they are much cleaner.

They maybe send to the humane society soon. I am so tempted to keep them..but i knew i cant afford the $ and time...oh well....

A reflection

Yesterday we stood outside the resturant and talk till almost midnight. I stood there listening to her heartbroken story and I saw a reflection of me. She is so much like me - when comes to relationship, we are so lost in it. A betrayal will just cause the heart to collaspe. I can understand the pain she is going through, to forget someone you once love so much. I looked back at what happen and think about how wonderful God is. I lost a man but gain so many good friends that stood by me for years. Angela, Trixy and syndy who stood by me through my sorrows and depression. I still remember so clearly is through all these I found these 3 best friends. A friend at work, place their by God, had see me through and indirectly brought me to christ. Friends at church touches me and I feel the love of God through them...that keeps me going. Without all these, I can't imagine what i would become. I wouldnt dare to think about it. One thing for sure now, I know God will pull her through because he is who he is.

I never thought the homegroup Kat Don and I had in my small little room would bring forth these people that start sharing their problems and needs. 1 week ago my room was packed with 10 of us just eating and chatting. I am like many of them, away from home, needed company and a listening ear. AND a hug of course. =)

Praise God...

I yearn for Protection

Friday I just fell over my bike..yes again. I got 1 big bruise at my right shin and 1 on my left knee area. This is not that bad as is my fault. Ii overwork at the gym and my legs just give way, anyway is just a fall..... =P

Today, I was so closed to getting hit by the red swinging door of a CRV that suddenly slam open. The big fat lady who is getting out of the car, just scream "wooorrr~!" as i dodge to my left and swish pass the door. I then head on to KFC to buy some food as i am cravign for some unhealthy meal. After buying the takeaway, I put back my headphone and realise my player's batt have gone flat, so well, i pack my earphone back to my bag and cycle home.

I am cycling on the right side of the road and coming to an junction. A black car speed from my left side and swerve to the right into the road cutting my path. He is goign so fast that tires screech when he turn. I was just maybe a feet away from that black car as he turn right in front of me. If i have not slow down when hearing the acceleration of that idiot car on my left, I wouldn't be sitting in my room typing this. I would have been knock down. Thank God, my player's batt went flat and i couldnt listen to music as i cycle, as i wouldnt have heard the car speed up by my side. A driver at the junction couldnt believe his eyes, shook his head and gave a disgusted look at the driver as he drove pass him. He then look at me and shake his head and i shake my head back at him too, heaving a sigh of relief and anger.

Another day of "adventure". Life is so exciting.

Blessed we are...

2 days ago I was in my room with mama Kat calculating my "fortune" to survive here. Lol...Is simply confusing for me because i have never bother to manage my financial stuffs while in Singapore, thus i can proudly say i am a good example of this statment "artist are poor". Well, after all the plus, minus, divide and multiply it just arrived to the conclusion amount of 600USD a month (inlcuding rent, food, art stuffs). Even though i am working, I thought the amount could be reduced more, but like what Kat say...There is no point calculating anymore because the amount will just end up be used as leisure stuffs or simply my round trip tix back to Singapore. I can't agreed even more.

Below is a part taken from Kat's blog which touches me and just reminds me that God loves us so much and we should proclaim blessing that God have been showering upon us.

"I kinda understand how Pastor Mark felt when he gave his last thousand dollars to a youth to go church camp. A thousand dollars is a lot of money. But it would do nothing in the face of his 16 million-debt situation. That's how I feel now.

Might as well bless the people that God sends our way everyday, not withholding good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of our hand to do so; and not saying to our neighbour, go and come back, I will give it tomorrow when I have it with me [Proverbs 3:27-28].

Might as well savor each meal with gusto, enjoying the fellowship of our loved ones and friends. Fretting not over those who reject us, but treasuring those who love us even now, knowing that the love in our hearts to give is from the Lord. And that we love because He first loved us.

Hence, no one is above another being in loving someone simply because our love is from God. He who loves little has not himself receive much love from God and is unable to love as God would. It wasn't that God never loved him, but that he never received His love.

And no one should boast about how great his or her love is for another, for all love comes from God. We are merely reflecting His love in our lives. Emptying ourselves as vessels for the Lord.

Praise the Lord. "
