Actually, I planned to write it at the start of April, but my PROCRASTINATING personality made me to write it now..
I feel like more lively now, with the volunteer activities and church activities that I join right now. I feel that I really use my time really good. :) (except for homework and schoolwork that I keep procrastinate).
Finally, I just found out that my friend lives 5-10 minutes from my house.. *dumb me*
So, I think I will stop by her house more often, just to socialize. :)
Last friday, six of my friends and I were playing "Spoon", it's a hilarious card game, where the loser must drink 3 sips of punishment drink. (NB: We usually play it in a bubble tea place). hehe. Last week's drink consisted of 1. Peppermint, 2. Almond, 3.Lemon, 4.Avocado, 5. Hazelnut, 6. Our Saliva-s ? hahaha. Because all of us got a chance to drink it and all with a single straw. LOLz. The fun part is that we went home with only a car, 7 people in a-supposedly-5-person-fitting-car. Lolz. It's fun that we keep burping and farting(okay I will stop it right there).
and Last saturday, I volunteered in my school, at first, I was assigned to be a waiter(the email said so), but when I arrived, I needed to move all the wine to a cold place, help making the salad, and at last, serve the guests. I think I served well, as my table decided to give me a slice of cake (intended to do so). :)
Okay, I need to go back to my music assignment. see you guys!

Seasons in The Sun.
Today I listened to "Seasons in The Sun". A "Westlife" song from '99. It quite makes my eyes wet somehow.. I really like this song, as I always imagine if anyone from my family or friends died. I know it's a bad habit, but I'm just trying to make myself to be prepared to anything that will happen. Or I often imagine that if me myself died, what should I do? Will I go to heaven? Will I go to hell? Or maybe I can accompany my family in the Earth but unseen? I want the latest one, so that I can still see them although they can't see me, but it's (just cried somehow :'( ). I know it's really not realistic, but people dying is a real thing.. :( . I know there is something called peacefully death, and I want something like that, instead of dying in a horror because of some murderer or kidnapper or drunk driver. hahaha..
Sorry, this post is really emotional, I should just close it here.
Thanks,

"Moving Forward" ! *My first retreat in the states*
Why I said it's in the states? As the retreat is quite deep inside the mountain. It's around Auburn, WA. :) :) :) It's near the southern Washington.
I went there with Ci Angie that accidentally went too far south, but she realized it in short time which made the reroute to be faster than it could be. :). Sorry for squeezing you Kerrie. :P :P . But she fell asleep, so I think that was not that bad... huahuahua
We left my house at around 3.40/3.50 and arrived at the Camp Berachah at around 5.30/ 5.40.
It was a fun car ride though, as we talked about so many things that will take me days to write it here (so exaggerating!). *Actually I feel quite disappointed that my phone was out of battery at the start of the second day.. Dang it. @_@. So the photos were from my friends' fb. :P
When we arrived there, Elvis and I went to the room with Tony, who arrived there earlier, haha. :P We had a dinner and then the first session! :) . Ps. Daniel Harafi is a really funny pastor/preacher (which one yah?). He didn't feel uncomfortable to share so many things with the people that mostly he just met at that day. He talked about how a big church is a big power, which means that we are the church and we will have power. To make the long story short, then he did an outercall, for people that wants to make themselves the "churches". He emphasized that you should not go in front just because there were many people did it. I questioned myself if I was really capable of it? At last, I decided that I will not go in front, as I don't want to 讲白话(makes a promise that I can't keep). But as we worshiped God when they were praying, I regretted that I didn't go in front. I didn't know if i made a correct choice to not make an empty promise. I believe that God knows it, and it's just about the timing. After we finished the sermon, we played a "fair" jeopardy. It was one-sided somehow. We went back to our room, and we tried to set up our stuffs in place (luggage, bedsheets, bolster, blanket)
. Then we decided to take a shower first, Elvis brought a Chinese Chess (象棋）, he taught Hadi to play it, and I think he succeed (?).
After sometimes, we decided to go out (to the a big hall connected to the four separate dormitories). We played "Mafia" until 2.30 am. hahaha, But I got on bed at 3.00, and finally fell asleep at 3.30 am. I woke up at 8.00 am (which is the time the breakfast starts (opps)), and I just made my hair wet and went straight to the breakfast, I think I had some scrambled eggs and sausages, and a small carton of milk. That was the first really really western breakfast that I ever had in the states(so lame). Lol... I went back to take a shower and there we goes, second sermon, it's about that being a big church, we will have a big life.
We had some free time after that to do a talent show in the night. It was from 1.30 till 4.00. But, I played volleyball instead, I am a really bad volleyball player, as I don't really play it before and that we lost two tight sets before losing the last one, I had to go to practice. The practice was quite fun, nevertheless we decided to make a drama, about a son that asked for his father's wealth and left his house, he impregnated a woman and after he met a religious girl in a class, he realized his sin and fault, he went back to the pregnant girl and decided to take responsibility of her. I played the role as the teacher in the class and the father of the pregnant girl. Hahaha, I never know that playing a drama will be such a 快感！！！ haha.
I played volleyball from 1.15 pm to 3.30 pm (?). My hands still hurt now, and I will be playing tennis tomorrow. orzz. :P. After finished talking about the drama, I played ping-pong with my roommates and friends as many others are going to the holy baptism, so they can speak in tongue with God. I didn't join that as I already went through it before, but i feel some regrets, because I want to experience it again, but when I realized it, it was too late. The situation just didn't allow me to go there. I played ping-pong until 5.45 pm/6.00 pm. Although sometimes my friends made joke about my name, which I dislike the most, I just laughed it off, I don't have other choices I think. Then we had dinner, I think that we had chickens and rice for that night, but because I haven't taken my shower yet, I finished it like really quick(because I saw Elvis and Tony left without calling me >___< ). I caught up with them though haha, and after shower we went there, and the pastor called the people who are able to speak in tongue right now, to tell us how they feels. I was happy when I saw my friends stood in front there. :) . Especially Sonia who accepts Jesus by now. *plok plok plok* as Ps. Dan said that even if only for one soul, we need to clap for them.
I really feel happy for them as they can speak in tongue with God right now. But, I just don't want them to take it for granted, that they will not make fun of it. *hopefully*. :)
To make the long story realllllyyyy short. We went through day 3 with the same pattern but,
- I woke up at 8.30 am.
- We played drama
- We, as NSCC district, were the first place! :)
- We 游车河-ed from Auburn to almost Everett. :P
- I supported a child now. :) , so he can go to school and live up to His name. :)
Gracias[thanks(?)]

Finals Week and X-Lounge! :)
The team :)
The empty wall >.<
So the three days before my spring break week were the finals week.
Where the X-Lounge project was also running.
I don't know why but I opted to go to the X-Lounge project instead of studying XP
*It didn't mean that I didn't study for the finals.
I prepared for my econ final which surprisingly maybe it was because I helped the painting from 12-2 before, but one of my friends got the answers (I know it's bad God, but sorry :(
I finished the test in 40 minutes(?). I was trying to answer it by myself and then double-checked with the answers that my friends sent me.. *feel extra guilty somehow..* :(
But I think I already did it, I just have to try to fight off the temptation the next time it happens :) (trying to be a more optimistic person!) :)
I also had an accounting presentation to be presented on that day. Although I had some arguments with one of my team members, but by the end of the day, we felt relieved as we finished the presentation and some of our classmates reached us and said that we did a really good job, which made my night(the presentation was at 5.30 pm. Lol).
I went home at around 8 pm, as my teacher reviewed all our previous chapter which were proved to be quite helpful, but I got sleepier and sleepier as the time passed by. I went home and decided that I will focus on "The Ends of The World as We Know Them" for my english essay. I didn't prepare an outline or whatsoever, but I did think about the points that I am going to write on the test day. I decided that I should go to see a tutor in the morning, before the test. Somehow my brain was really clear and I can get what the tutor wanted to tell me, and I also finished the tutor session with confidence to nail the test (I got 94/100 for my english in-class essay!) :) . Thank You God! :)
After I finished my essay, I went home to get some food and then I left to the church again. I will post some photos of our progress. :) . So we painted and did all the stuffs related to it and we only had a half of the wall left to be painted, but we ran out of ideas. Any suggestions? :)

28th = go to school to help my friend to get her I20 signed, exercise at 24 hours.

I hope it will indeed be a fruitful one! :)
It's been a while since I have a busy holiday as before I only spent my time in my house

2010 in particular
Well, i kinda copycat-ed my friend Nicole N's blog LOL ... Which is a recap of my 2010 year.. haha
January:
Hmm, this is the month where we(?) Intensive A and B were mixed. There were so so so many disagreement on it. But as my vice principal insisted(well, screamed and scolded) we were mixed! The first 1,2 weeks were not good. I mean the atmosphere was just weird.. Because Intensive A Class was the first time in my school life(that school) that all of us were so close together and we talked about almost anything (including Badmouthing LOL) .. But as the time went through we started to blend in, i must thank Cindy,Bruce and Hoho for this.. Maybe because of you 3 both sides are kinda blended together!! Thanks yo! ahaha. :P . (Oh, and Phoebe's sweet 16 party! (Burger King!) hahaha)
February:
My birthday month! Not went as predicted sih.. Because every month there will be some celebration for the birthday boy/girl but this year. there are no. haha . I know maybe it was because February is the month where there were so many Try-Outs and the atmosphere(well , the teachers were tensed, but the students (some) were still relaxed..) . There were some incidents where (i think because of the school system). It held its Try-Out like 2 days/ one day after other schools(and the questions are the same). I was in a tuition place and i got some (well,, to be honest all) questions of some tests there.. And my strict-always vice-principal and my chemistry teacher(who used to like to have me as his student) didn't say anything but i feel that they felt some people in the class cheated (well, included me.. ckckck(well i was)) . haha
Birthday at home is good Loh! hahaha.
March:
I forgot most of this month.. But i remember it's the National Exam month(if i was correct) . And the month where i did most of my visas and the school paperworks.. like legalizing some photocopied papers, the principal is really nice!!! Although he acted like a w***e in the class, but his words at that time i was kinda touched by what he said.. :'(
April:
School Final Exams.. I almost failed it(national exam)!!! My biology is 4.5/10 Lol.. which the passing grade should be 4.0/10 . :P . And then the school exam.. There's one thing i hate about that school.. The mandarin test is really confusing for someone that's naturally can speak Mandarin(don't mean to bluff but it's true)...
May:
Yay, I graduated and it's the start where i played Heroes of Newerth(maybe) , with Raymond and Michelle , but we all stopped at June/August because it requires payment.. It's really boring that we just stayed at home. Lol... It's the pre-eliminary rounds of my local tennis tournament? haha Yap. I lost my first one and win 4 straight matches to get into Semi-Final.. Which i lost.. so i got a 3rd place trophy.. that's my first trophy of my life! hahaha.
Continue later y! :)
