rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

phew its been a while! cant believe the last time i blogged was in april...wayyyyyy before i even started my whole summer holidays! and now we're one month till school starts @.@ hehe ok not for me coz i'm going to JAPAN :D:D:D wooohoo! seriously, i cant wait till i go...get out of here and live a whole new life in a place i've always dreamt of living in...it'll be SUCH a great experience, i can just tell! i really need to buckle up on my jap before i leave though, it's been a long time since i last spoke...or even touched the language! can't be rusty when i'm there, there'll be a placement test and i wanna make sure i get into the right class! hopefully i get to take all the classes i want :D i'm so glad daddy and mummy are all for me learning things that are totally for interest...ie stuff wayyyy into the arts! coz i mean, if the courses arent gonna be transferrable, might as well take stuff i cant afford to take here! i wanna learn singing!!!!! :D:D:D hohoho it'll be the birth of a new star u guys!!! dont regret not getting my autograph sooner!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
lol ANYWAYS. k i figured i shld talk a little about all the changes so far...so my parents moved down to calgary pretty much as soon as effie and i came back from hong kong so we were really busy packing up and moving, coz we were scheduled to move into a new place as well. so now we're staying in a room in this house close to university (it takes 5 mins to walk to SUB! as david actually timed us...@.@) and yeah, despite the cheapness and the convenience, it's been pretty annoying trying to get along with the tenants there...they've been bugging us and complaining about every little thing that we do, esp at night and it just gets so frustrating! now eggie has to live in this corridor in the basement every night and it's hard to find her and stuff...and we keep freaking about how those ppl will complain about us coz we've been getting woken up at 5am so many times we cant even sleep properly ><><"""" coz it's not like we're doing anything on purpose...we've been trying our best too and u cant put limits to our freedom...UGH. but then again, i'm leaving in a month so i wont need to see their nasty faces again for the whole year so YAY for me :D
as for my parents in calgary...their apartment's pretty nice :D and so super convenient! i'm here in calgary right now (and will be again for 2 more times this month!) haha i dont think i've ever travelled back and forth so many times before! but yeah this explains why i have all this free time to blog LOL! back at home, it's competition for the computer!!!! haha no la, and i've been working loads too and going out at night so by the time i get home, there's rarely time to do anything except check my mail and facebook a little. man facebook, it's taking over everyone's lives @.@ gets a little discouraging sometimes but whatever. the name says it all, it's all about FACE. haha so who cares. but anyways, right, i'm down at calgary to make my japan visa! YAY! hopefully i can get my itinery done as well and be able to reach japan on the 18th! or else it'll be so annoying to reach on the 13th have to wait till the 14th for the ppl to pick me up @.@ it'll be settled i'm sure hehe
what else. right the trip to hong kong and singapore! man that feels like a thousand years ago already...i guess coz we've done so much since we came back, and been on the road trips like to sylvan lake and stampede etc. that my memory of it isnt fresh anymore! >< but it was fun for sure...didnt buy as many things as the shopaholics with whom i went with *ahem* haha but i'm happy with the stuff i bought! it's hard man, esp when ppl in asia are all so skinny and u're like, labelled a large. LOL hey i'm a medium here k! it was so embarrassing when i was telling my relatives about how greg used to call me mini and i'm like, yeah i'm considered small sized there. haha talking to all my cousins with stick like figures @.@ well u know what, i'm gonna go on a diet and exercise like siao in japan so i'll blend in soon, just u wait and see! LOL! i dont know how they do it though, the food in asia is so good it's hard not to gain any weight!!! i mean yeah effie and i save money and kept walking to mong kok instead of taking the mtr but how much does that burn...just by walking? maybe the sun helps...maybe. hahaha looking at hong kong students wearing woolen sweaters when it's like 38degrees makes feel like fainting already...why on earth are u wearing a WOOLEN SWEATER in that freaking hot weather!?!??!! and hong kong is an oven i tell u, an OVEN. all the humidity plus the heat plus the pollution...omg. but the food is heavenly that i can say! so shiok...singapore's sugar cane juice too, to die for man...esp after a hot sweaty sticky day of being out!!!
OH! speaking of singapore, yes i did manage to reclaim my singaporean accent :D even though it was after a couple of days...couldnt resist! it was so shiok speaking singlish!!! so easy to express myself man!!!!! no more stumbling or wondering if i'm saying it right...everything just comes out naturally :D i love singlish!!!! woohoo! in singapore that is hahaha. cursed singlish in canada, nobody understands you >< and of coz, seeing some of you guys again was awesome :D was watching a jap drama a couple days ago and i kept thinking of my secondary school life...so free and easy :D well ok if you take away the stress from studying and all that crap you get from the teachers...spending time with everyone was so simple, everybody's free after school unless they need to study, meeting up was easy, having fun in class, talking during free periods, joking around, eating lunch together...secondary school days was awesome. well i cant say jc life isnt alot better coz i've never experienced it, i mean high school life for me was just as bleah as my uni life but yeah, somehow high school in asia just seems different. but oh wells, maybe i'll get to experience a different uni life in japan :D something i've always hoped for before i moved to canada...but i'm not gonna whine, i'm just looking forward to it :D:D:D
anyways, i'll post up some pictures hopefully when i get back to edmonton! going and looking back at the life that i lived was quite an experience...u see how ppl changed or how they didnt change, how the roads you used to walk seems so familiar and yet not, how some things made such an impact on you in the past and now you can barely remember it! memories memories.
its funny when ppl say to you, remember that time when we did this and this...and you're like....omg...oh yeah! and a glimpse of the past comes back to you and you realized that you've tucked that piece of memory way into that little corner of your brain and covered it up with all kinds of present worries, and you find that what you've digged out is like a precious piece of jewel, bringing out a big smile on your face :)
