Reasons to Smile (Today)

God's blessings are in all sorts of ways. Maybe sometimes we overlook on the small things which can make us smile, maybe sometimes we're just lazy to think much about the beauty of blessings we receive everyday.

There are a lot of reasons to make me smile, grin and laugh today.

During our English Language lesson we had a great time singing "Waka Waka" accompanied by two pieces of guitars. Till now, that song is still ringing inside my head. Gab and Arbut played the guitars, Ghee Seng singing cheerfully, the other boys followed, we girls waved our hands and followed throughout the chorus. I felt disappointed that we didn't record it, we just wished we could. Words can never reflect the atmosphere of that moment. I felt something, something hard to explain - :') Thank you very much, Miss Roseline for today's English lesson. It was totally unforgettable.

I brought my guitar (for the second week now) to play during ISCF. There were another three pieces of guitar so it was more lively. Plus, the other girl (who I don't know what her name is) played so far beyond my ability. She's really awesome~ After that, we had a brief talk about 'blessings' so that pretty much explains why my intro of this post starts like that :)

Then, there was the scorching sun. 1.45 pm sitting at the canteen, plus without even taking an afternoon bath is something torturing, I have to admit. Sleepy, hungry, bored and all sorts of feelings mixed inside my mind. However, one thing for sure was that I admired the things around me today. The bright sky, the beautiful fluffy clouds, everything was beautiful. After a short while, one of my friends spotted Cikgu Paul (our Sivik teacher) - he was standing so far from us that we all denied it was him. After a brief argument, off we went to see him. Obviously, it was really him.

Our job was to replant the grass to another location situated in front of Blok 8, that's metres and metres away from Blok 3. The glamour name of this job: KERJA TAMAN, sometimes we just get it mixed up with "Kerja Amal" but who cares. It wasn't an easy job to do. If you're not sweating it means that you weren't even there. I have pretty much evidence to say that it wasn't easy. Not all of our classmates came. Many people try to avoid it.

Yet, there are blessings in such activity. We were exhausted, our faces did turn red, our hands do hurt but in turn, we had a memorable moment. A great one. There were intervals between work, jokes, work, photo-taking, work and so on and so forth. Cikgu Paul brought along his DSLR camera. We took gazillions of group photos with backgrounds of nature, one photo had our beloved Blok 8 as the background (I suggested so, and the teacher seemed to like my idea). Ah, you know that I dream of a DSLR camera. Photography is awesome.

There were "kangaroo jokes", "geng pongkes" etc. I am sure the boys will upload our photos soon on FB. Then I think I'll put some here ;)

Today, I've learnt a lot of lessons. No matter what kind of person I'll be tomorrow, no matter where I'll end up after schooling, I will never ever forget this day. For I have a lot of reasons to smile today :) [Aww, I'm being melancholic].

Thank you, LORD.

My New Buddy

Finally.

After months of research (haha) and a lot of patience - the moment has finally came true. Oh la la. I am so glad. Glad but sad. Glad that now there's a new buddy in my room - and oh, sad that I had to bid farewell to my RMxxx. Haha!

A three-digit guitar is always better than a Kapok, everyone knows that. But for me, I am so very thankful to my Kapok which had made my left hand way stronger over the past few years. On my Kapok I learnt the basics of the most basic. I learnt barre chords - and very recently I learnt how to solo. I've improved a lot I think. Well, not that bad as a self-taught guitarist xD

Back to the new buddy. It's a Santa Cruz. As you can see on the picture above, I chose one with a cutaway shape. The reason is because currently I'm teaching myself to play lead. Oh, it's a long way to go..

Purchased it at Lee's. Oh boy, that place certainly rocks! I was actually only surveying yesterday, but I ended up falling in love with this guitar after they asked me to try it. Straight away, I reserved it, took a look on some pretty cool bags, asked for bonus items (got a free pick & strap at least), felt that I might need a capo in the future and waalaa. Discounts. Today everything is in my room.

The people there treats you as if you're the one and only valuable customer. You actually don't need the skills and researches. They do all of it for you - your budget and whatever. Haha. I was too excited that I didn't even catch and digest what did the guy said. In my mind was only the guitar. Plus hundreds of guitars around me o.O

For anyone who's searching for a guitar, I recommend this place. They have everything there. You don't need to wait until you become a hi-so kid to get a guitar there. I was totally wrong. Most of them are really affordable and reasonable actually :) Plus like I said, service is excellent. They greet you on your first step to the store and you can try any of the guitars you want. Okay. Enough of that. I really sound sakai.

Oho. And I saw a Fender Strat package of "stop dreaming start playing" at only RM 1000+. I saw a white les paul at RM700+. This is driving me crazy. Just wait and see. I'll be at Lee's again in 2 years time. Hopefully.

Looks like I have to join another essay-writing competition ;)

Thank You LORD.

Boredom

I didn't know what to do so I went crazy with PhotoScape this evening. These are the pictures of Chin Chinawut when he was here to promote his drama Love.18 last June. You can find my stories on that day in my post "Chin Chinawut!!!!!!'. All of the pictures were taken by myself and as you can see they are all in bad quality - that's why I did some touch up haha. Fellas, go crazy looking at them! He's sure a cutey ;)

Oh, I just love PhotoScape.
and Chin ;)

Please Stay Here Forever!

100th Post!

Unbelievable.

I've finally reached my 100th post here. I can't remember the actual date when I started blogging but for sure I think it's less than a year ago. Perhaps.

So what should I tell in this special 100th post? I have no idea at all.

So goodbye for now I guess.
I'll add on a little bit of things later.
Huarghh~
