Project : A Friend A Day!

Well, I'm inspired to start this new project to encourage and bless others with my gift with words! :P

It's called Project : A Friend A Day. hmm, I don't really have a rule for this thing but basically what I do is, I'll tag a friend on Facebook (since there is no word limit) and say thank you for their existence or other positive things. It can be a compliment or just wishes to brighten their day.

I'll try to keep it a daily thing.. hence, A Friend A Day lol. but if not, I'll post whenever I feel like lifting someone up! 

I don't think we should restrict the frequency to tag a person. As in, I encourage you to retag the same person time and time again, if it touches your heart to do so! 

What better way to utilise the Facebook status thingy right? ;)

It can be a close friend, or someone you haven't talk to in awhile or your family members, your other half... basically anyone! I think people would appreciate the fact that you dedicate that space to them .. for the day/week/month/year (if you like hahaha!)

Spread the love and pass it on. Keep it going ; infecting others to do the same! It's a (new) project that I came up with like 30 minutes ago but it's not any less meaningful or close to my heart because I believe in what it can do.

In fact, if you like, you can show your love in other ways as well. Like treating them to lunch, or pay for their parking ticket, make them an appreciation card or a nice hug would work as well. Everyone could use a hug, right? :)

Or better, bless a complete stranger. or surprise your so-called enemies! ;) anything really cuz it's up to your creativity.

If you don't know where to begin, since the essence of this project is inspired by Facebook status thingy and some good friends of mine (Jeanette&Janice), maybe you can start from there. It don't have to be long.. just something from your heart. Something you'll probably never say to the person in the face (cuz you're shy or afraid of what they might think). Something like a simple thank you is a good place to start. Perhaps, over time you'll move on to different things and bigger way to show your love! ;)

I started this for all of you who feel under-appreciated like me. I've been feeling that for awhile now until God reminded me to open my eyes and see how blessed I am. How there ARE people who love and appreciate me for who I am, for what I do. But most of all, HE sees it all. So, ultimately I'm reminded that it didn't matter if no one notices, it's what He thinks that matters. That in the end of the day, He still appreciates YOU and love YOU with all His heart. :)

So yeah, I hope you'll pay it forward and bless someone today, in your own way. I think it's really important to learn not to take anyone for granted. Try to keep it a daily thing (if you can). Or weekly, whatever works for you. In fact, make this project YOUR OWN. Do it your way.. when you want it and so on. You get the drill. So as long as you're showing your love and appreciation for someone. 

Above all, thank YOU for participating in this (very) simple of act of love. I hope to hear stories from you, on Facebook maybe? ;) 

Have an amazin' day ahead and God bless!

- Connie.

P.S If you have a better idea to fine tune this project, then be my guest and share/comment so that we could do it together!

Quality Time!

Had a simple 'makan' with my awesome mates from 6A2! ;)

Goofing off for the camera with them was so much fun. They are my fellow comrades, my amazin' arms of friends, possibly my 3rd family. I'll miss this time and them most once I'm done with Form 6. 

Even though Upper Six is no joke, it's people like them that help to lighten my burden, soothed my daily stress and putting a smile on my face. At the end of it, I won't remember how much I had to go through .. but I'll remember we walk together on this crazy path that most won't choose and carry each other through it.

I thank God for friends like them. Sure, we have our differences and we disagree on the most part, but beneath it all, we share the same dream and passion to do our very best and get into public universities ; to show those who doubt our capabilities and us. ;)

Like I said, their friendship has to be the most meaningful gift God has bestowed upon me. I shall never take it for granted. When (not if!) I do get amazin' results at the end of the day, it will not just be because of my hard work and dedication, but also their love and support that carry me through this trying time. :)

6A2 2012, you (we) rock! <3

till then, 

this is me signing off.

US! celebrating my (belated) birthday & the end of our midterms at Pizza Hut!

David Choi ♥

I'm still in that bubble .. Can't believe I've met him in person and went to his gig (finally!). All I can say is that it has been the best birthday I've had.

Friday, 18 May 2012

My awesome brother told me I could tag along with him to meet David in person! He won this David Choi cover contest so he asked the organisers if he could bring someone and they said yes! like, SAY WHAT?! :D

We went and boy, was I blown away. Though it was obvious that he was totally beat (flight & all that hullabaloo), but I respect that he tried to stay cheery though out the whole thing. :) Go, David I'd say! Didn't say much.. too starstruck I supposed but it was nice to just be there and hear him sing live and unplugged. One of the best, money can't buy experience I've had. Just standing at the side, watching him doing his thing was just.. wow. The grand prize winner, Amrita got to sing with him and I LOVE her rendition of Let Go. The tune is still in my head till today .. yeap, it's that good. 

Took a photo and kept saying that it was "nice to meet him". Gosh, Connie, is that all you could say? -.- 

Made up my mind that I had to get them tickets to his show. *hope that it's still for sale*

Birthday eve!! :p Went to The Curve to get my 'BaoBei'.. the church's Fender hahaha. Did I tell you how much I love to go to the guitar store? But I don't cuz I'm not pro enough to be messing around with the expensive guitars and people at the store always intimidate me. So, whenever I could tag along with my brother, I would. At least, it felt legit to be there hahaha. 

ANYWAYS, Taylor guitars sounds much better.. or to my liking at least. I like the density in the sound.. and the feel while playing them. The bass (I love a really good bass-y guitar) in the model I was playing with was just amazing. I mean, who am I kidding? It was a RM4000 ++ guitar. o_o

But, my BaoBei is just as good so no complain there!

After picking BB up, we went to Rock Corner to try our luck and thank God there are still tickets for sale! Too bad, I couldn't get the student discount.. just because I didn't have student ID. I'm in a public school, of course I wouldn't own one. -.- ohwells. So much for great customer service really.

So yes, tickets in hand .. see you soon David! :D

D-DAYYYY!!! :D 내 나인 nineteen, vision은 HD ya'll!!! 

Last year of being a teen. Gosh, I feel old. Had church service as usual.. and awesome people sending their love. (THANK YOU GUYS!) and birthday lunch at one of my favourite place, Sankolok. Their tom yam is to-die-for. D: Just the right amount of sour-tangy and not short of the spicy too! The som tam was just mediocre.. according to my Mom and Brother anyways. I thought it was okay.. but since I wasn't a fan of som tam, my opinion honestly don't matter lol.

Went home and got ready for the show. We arrived on time.. had to just wait awhile to get in. 

The opening act was really good. Jenn Chia did a really good job despite that she said she was extremely nervous. Her originals, was really something to check out. So, make sure you do! :)

 After 3 songs, David Choi came on stage with the amazin' band! Kicking off with his more upbeat tune from his 'Forever And Ever' album, Can't Take This Away ( i think :p) , he sets the mood for the night. The setlist was arranged impeccably and flowed from one tune to the next. During mini breaks in between, he lighten up the mood with jokes, giving away posters with his autograph, more jokes (didn't know he was this funny), and manage to Instagram as well. Well, he did a sweep of the crowd and the band as well as himself goofing off .. as a video to be posted up soon. (i hope.) Such a talented dude. 

I felt it was a little short... but maybe that's just me. Perhaps, I was having such a great time I didn't realise how time flies. Told you he was that good! Major thumb up from me. I left the show with a mental note that I HAVE to go back again when he return for his next Asia/Aussie tour. :)

Had birthday dinner after that at Bubba Gump (my first!) and I loved it. Love the movie and the food and the place. WAHHH must go back if I could. :p

This has been the best week I've had. Best birthday I've had. I really thank God for all these. :)

till then, 

this is me, signing off.

See you soon, David! :)

Let Go.

For a moment there, I thought my blog got deleted. Scary moment most definitely. I know, it shouldn't bother me 'cuz no one actually reads this but .. still. 

Anyways, two words. David. Choi. 

Will update soon. 

xx 

Blah.

Yes, I'm still feeling a little down in the dumps.

No, I don't want to talk about it.

Yes, I wish you'll stop asking me if I'm doing alright.

No, I don't know why I feeling this way. The only reason I have would be daily stress. Either that, or PMS. ugh.

****

Perhaps, I'm dealing with something more than just feeling crappy. Maybe it's because I'm losing faith everyday... in people. in my own faith. But never, God. That I can be sure of.  It's just, things are a little.. whacked these days. I don't remember the last time I read the Bible and pray. Did my devotion, I mean. Perhaps, that could be why I'm feeling like this. Perhaps, it's something else. 

I don't have an answer to why I'm feeling like this. 

I wish I knew. 

Back to square one.

I should be off somewhere, studying for my midterms next Tuesday but here I am, blogging. I don't remember when I deleted my previous blog. Don't remember why either. But, I felt compelled to write again. At least, just to put my thoughts back into words. Solid words. 


I miss writing.. for the sake of writing. Not because I want to score a band 6 in MUET or whatever but just to pen my thoughts down where others couldn't grade my "work". 


Well, if you must know, Form 6 is crazy stuff. Sometimes, I can't even fathom why I even attempted to go down the road less travelled, or so they say. Perhaps, it's ego. Perhaps, it's something else. But since, I'm halfway through (Upper Six baby!) , I might as well do my best or die trying right? Fuhh, easier said than done really. 


I mean, at least half of the subjects I'm taking, I have zilch passion for. Why you say? Because it's like Form 4 & 5 where everything comes in a package. I want to do History but I have to take up Business Studies and Malay Language as well. Awesome or what?


It's okay. I've learned to come to terms with it. I'm slowly learning to love the subjects so that is good. On a brighter note, I really do enjoy Form 6 life. I honestly think it really helps you to mature.. and I've got more time to really think what I want to do with my life. What course to take and all. At the moment, I'm considering Psychology and perhaps, teaching English as a second language.. preferably in a foreign country like Korea or Japan. Well, a girl can dream right?


Made many new friends and classes feel like a family now. That is because my *awesome* class has only 8 people including me. So, our relationship with each other and the teachers are really good. We're tight knit, I'd say! :)


Sure, Form 6 feels little like going back to SPM nightmare-ish days, but I believe it's going to help me in the long run. Plus, at the end of it, I can stand proud and say, I survived Pre-U and honestly, it wasn't that bad. ;)

US! ♥
