My Chinese New Year wasn't too bad. A bit boring cos I feel boring. Well, I didn't visit so many houses this year. I'm not in any CNY mood at all....tried to boost my CNY spirit with the thought of angpaos but still...to no avail. What's up with me? I really have no idea......
First day, I visited a few houses. Mostly friends of my mum. 2nd day of CNY was much better. Though I only visited one house, which was Florence's, it was fun. Well.....I didn't visit just one house. I visited another that's non-Chinese. Hehe. Cos Amanda and I had this crazy idea of going to Jzlyne's to pick her up and hang out. So we went over to her place. My....her house is filled with dogs!! And a cat... Met her aunt for the first time. She's a nice lady. Hehe....
What we do? Nothing much...just went to Spring to hang out. Unfortunately, most shops were closed. Haha.... (duh, 2nd day of CNY mah...) But...that's not gona stop us from hanging out lah. We did alot of catching up and...we noticed that everytime we go out, there's always a missing person. LOL. The last time we met up was last year at Swinburne, Antonia's not there with us. And this time, she's not with us again due to balik kampung. Hehe....oh well. One day, there will be all four of us. Hopefully. After Amanda and Antonia's STPM perhaps? Wonder if I will be having a break then. Hmmm.... Actually I thought of hanging out till late and boycotting having dinner at my mom's friend. I mean, it's not everyday that I get to see my friends you know..... As for my mom's friend, she comes almost on a daily basis. So you do the thinking why I thought of boycotting...
My apologies to Daniel & Micheal and Thomas and also Ah Fu for not visiting you guys.... I've no excuse this time......really sorry. =(
Last night hearthrob came to my house! My heart cair like butter in a hot frying pan....... <3

Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker....
I miss Billy Talent. Anyone got the track and give it to me? Try Honesty, Line and Sinker and the others will do.
..................Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker.......
*sings more*
Making It Mine!
I'm loving this song...way better than I'm Yours. Another one of my happy songs collection. =) Just makes me feel so carefree.......
Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the real dreamer is you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you
To taste past the tip of your toungue
Wake up everyone
How can you sleep at a time like this
Unless the real dreamer is you
Listen to your voice
The one that tells you
To taste past the tip of your toungue
Leap in, the net will appear
I don't wana wake before
The dream is over
I'm gona make it mine
Yes I, I know it
I'm gona make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine
I keep my life on a heavy rotation
Requesting that it's lifting you up, up, up and away
And over to a table at the Gratitude Cafe
And I am finally there
And all the angels they'll be singing
Ah la la la, ah la la la
I la la la la love you
I don't wana break before
The tour is over
I'm gona make it mine
Yes I, I'll own it
I'm gona make it mine
Yes I'll make it all mine
And timing's everything
And this time there's plenty
I am balancing
Careful and steady
And reveling in the energy that everyone's emitting
Well I don't wana wait no more
Oh I wana celebrate the whole world
I'm gonna make it mine
Oh yes I'm following your joy
I'm gonna make it mine
Because I, I'm open
I'm gonna make it mine
That's why I'll show it
I just love the way he writes songs....he's got unique phrasing and puts in words like 'emitting'. Haha....sounds physics-ish.

Happy CNY 09

Non-Mushy (or is it?)
Sighs. I miss my hearthorb. Cos with him, it is different. It's like....I can be a bestfriend talking to him and still have this "connection" and also totally respecting him. But I'm glad we didn't become an item. Relationships have a way of disrupting the process of getting to know each other. Friendships are always the best way to start. At least now we're talking and just being friends which I think is best. Rather than jumping into a relationship and end up not talking at all. Well, I foresee that Christine will still not be in a relationship this year but I'm considering my options and making more friends. But....anything can happen. And I heard the hearthrob might be studying in Swinburne next year. Woohoo? Really unsure if that's gona be a good thing or a bad thing.
But one things' for sure....gona concentrate on my music, work and studies.
Haiyak!!

He Takes Care of Me =)
Yup. That's right. Western countries are having an economic low down which means it's gona affect most South East Asian countries as well. I heard from a guy who quoted this,"When America coughs, the world catches a cold." Kinda true ain't it?
As you all have heard (or may not know) about 45, 000 people are gona be jobless after CNY. And that is sad. I really am happy that I have job! It's during this time that money disappear overnight. I watched CNN a week or two ago and it was reported that there were many suicide cases because of the global recession. And the suicide cases are all those big and successful business people earning probably millions. It is pretty alarming how these people lost their money overnight and resolved to take their own life. And all because of what? MONEY. But can't blame them. I mean, they've relied on their money that without it, they just don't know any other way to live. (Well, truth is, nobody can!) LOL.
And so it all boils down to this....do we just live for money? I think for a person who is an atheist or an agnostic, the answer is yes. So we put our trust in money and when it's gone, take your own life? Wow. That's pretty.....boring I must say. There MUST be more to life than money. There has to be. We all want a purpose. For many, their purpose is to earn money. But what if there's no more money? Then there wouldn't be purpose anymore right? So what's our purpose? Living for God is my answer. Money is not the answer. Money comes and go. God's the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and all the days to come.
So who or what do we rely on? God? Or money? Money is happiness, happiness is short-lived. God is joy and joy is forever - even if we don't have money. Cos there's always other things to be thankful or grateful for.
Today, since I'm not working and there's no GB, I decided to write a song. It's a song that's about my experience with financial problems. Cos I for one am not unfamiliar with financial problems but this time, it's harder. But it's okay. Cos I still got a house to live in, still got food on the table and I've got clothes on. I can't have all the luxuries that I used to have but hey, at least I've got what I need right? Hardships definitely made me a lot more grateful for small things. This song is called....Take Care Of Me. I didn't record it cos it's not finished yet. It's not finished cos my bro suggested that I put a bridge in it so yeah, I'm still working on it but I hope this song will encourage you. =)
Take Care Of Me
When times are hard
It wrenches your heart
Trying to find someone to blame
(Trying to get out of this mess)
You blame your dad
Thinking he's not trying hard
To get food on the table
(And it gets harder still)
But there's a lesson to learn
To just keep holding on
To cherish the simple things
That's right in front of you
Chorus:
It's as though the birds sing sweeter
It's as though the sun shines brighter
Though I don't have Dolce & Gabbana
I still have clothes on my back
Isn't the Lord keeping His promise
To take care of me (4x)
Just to give an idea of how it should sound like....think of...Story of The Year. It kinda has the style. This song is for a male vocalist. Am gona hunt for one in church. LoL. Well I just can't wait for the day that I can actually record this. Anyways, I just hope it will encourage you to have a different outlook in life.
As for myself, I will take Gio's advice to stop spending on what I want but on what I need ONLY. I rummaged into my closet and found loads of clothes that I don't wear anymore and decided to give it to those who needs it more than I do. All of them are still in good condition. There's one Adidas tee(and the only Adidas that I have!) that's still good. The person who receives it will be thrilled! =)
