Cont'd from Previous

I'm so very sorry I've taken so long to get back here to update. The truth of the matter is, I've been so extremely busy these days and it's simply impossible to get a good Net connection around the area...and somehow I don't like the idea of barging into Claus's house just so I can blog or whatever. It just doesn't seem right. And now I find myself with three movie reviews to write, along with a summary of everything that's happened in the past three weeks, plus a complete account of the caroling (from the conductor's viewpoint!) and my church's Christmas celebrations. Not forgetting, of course, a little here and there about my daily life since moving into the Gorillas' place. ...now, where do I start? I do warn you, this is going to turn out extremely long, and I wouldn't be surprised if this post takes you ages and ages to read, never mind understand. Even I am stunned by the sheer volume I'm going to have to write to adequately ex

Movin!! Movin!! (No, Really.)

I have so so so much to say and am so so so sorry (notice the alliteration!) for not saying it earlier. In my defense, I was busy having a life and actually doing stuff instead of putting it down on paper and forgetting about it. Ummm... so we'll start off with the day after yesterday, when I moved out of the hostel for good. No, wait. We'll start with last week, last Thursday to be exact, when I watched Eragon with Wolf. Yeah, we'll start there because I have got to properly barbecue the movie along with the idiot who wrote the book and indirectly the movie, and I've gotta do it well enough that nobody who reads this blog will ever be able to see the name Paolini without sneering for the rest of their life. Yeah, that's what I'll do. O...K. So Wolf and I haven't met for I have no idea how long (you'll have to forgive me if I make any sloppy grammar mistakes this time round since I'm still operating under two cups' or about 500ml worth of pulled

Plum Tuckered Out

I got back from Cameron's Highlands yesterday. I had a church camp there between Friday and Monday, and my goodness it was draining. Yes, I enjoyed it. Yes, I suppose it was very helpful to a lot of people and I'm sure God blessed the whole thing. But my goodness, I'm so tired. Thank heavens I've got another two weeks or so to recuperate before (oh heavens! mercy on me) I go for the MONTH-LONG RBS in January. (RBS = Residential Bible School, and it simply means a bible school that you can sleep in.) ...before I start making it sound like I was strung up by the ankles and tortured, let me say that it was a great camp. I really did enjoy it, and I do think God was there (then again, He's everywhere) and was busy at it, too. It was most enjoyable and I liked it. And I wouldn't mind going for another one. But...ok, I'll start from Friday morning when I woke up, had breakfast, and apparently took too long to eat my peanut butter because I had to rush off and leav

My Pencil Broke or Pointlessness

I spent 6 and a half hours online yesterday and nearly missed dinner as a result. It's not my fault, you know, if the hostel cybercafe is lacking in business and consequently sees the need to have a promotion. One ringgit per hour on all weekends. Who can resist? ...OK, so lots of people can resist. However, that doesn't include me so I didn't resist and went online. Plus MapleStory is having some kind of Christmas promotion going on too and it's having double EXP gains! (Which, you see, inevitably leads to me having gone up another level yesterday.) But on the credit side, I saw people online that I haven't seen in ages, like Meow and Cheeky for example, and I suddenly noticed that I chat very differently with different people: apparently I have no problem splitting my personality into hundreds of different pieces depending on whom I'm interacting with. Yesterday, for example. I compared the conversations between myself and Meow, and it's mostly banter. Kid

A Whole Lot of Nothing

I spent the last two days trying to clean up my room in preparation for moving out. So far I've got a list of stuff in my room--a complete catalogue, which took me ages to get done--and a list of place sto dump all my stuff, which includes my sister's room, the spare room in the Gorillas' place, and So Hour (which is actually where the bulk of the stuff will actually wind up). I present... The List of the Complete Contents of My Room (arranged according to location of object) Desk: (top) ..... 7 empty plastic containers ..... 2 empty metal tins ..... 1 tin milk powder ..... 1 tin Milo ..... 2 mugs ..... fork, spoon, knife (1 each) ..... 1 plastic bowl + cover ..... 1 water boiler + plug ..... 1 container peanut butter ..... 1 loaf bread ..... 1 complete set mp3 player (including earphones and USB cable) ..... unknown amount of tissue paper ..... 1 folding fan ..... 2 containers dietary supplements ..... 1 container condiments taken from var. hotels (sugar, creamer etc.) ..
