The Home Forever Lived

Hey,

Monday.
I arrive at Singapore at mid-night. I could not get my boarding pass to my next flight because the MAS counter is not open. And it will be open at 4am.
Anyway, i just hang around the airport. I went to the internet booths. Plug in my laptop and just stayed watching shows and do some small work.

Once it reach 4am. I went to the ticket counter to get my boarding pass. To my shock was that, the MAS worker told me that i could not get into this flight at 645am because i did not book. I was like "what the dinosaurs." It was impossible because Delta has done everything for me. And the worker told me that the flight is also fully booked. The next flight back was also fully booked too and the only time that i can get another flight home was at night.
I told the worker to do everything possible to put in this flight. I was tired flighting. I told the worker my story. The worker to told me to check back with her to know whether i'm in the flight.

So i waited for about one hour and fifteen minutes. In that hour, i was just sobbing and praying to God to really help me out in this situation. Telling God my story and all just really lift the burden inside of me. The very last minute like ten minutes before boarding time. I receive the call. The worker with a wide smile on her face and presenting me the ticket to board the plane. I was jumping for joy and wanting to hug her but i had to jump over the counter which is dangerous.
I quickly ran to the boarding place. Got into the plane and i was just thanking God all the way back as well as sleeping too. haha.

I arrive home at 830am. There was like huge jam all the way back. My sister pick me up with her boy (which totally forgot about me, time to build up that relationship with him again).

The first thing i did was to take a shower. Man, being in America, i did not sweat one bit coming back here i feel all sticky and sweaty. Well i kinda like it though. Miss the weather.
Then i just went to bed.

I woke up around 630pm. Waited for my sister. Went out for dinner with her and my Aunt.
The first Malaysian food i eat was fukkien meen (black noodles) and kung fu chow (white noodles) and duck rice and satay (meat on stick). And soy bean drink.

Later come back home, sleep a little bit more. Got a call from one of my friend. Ask him to come over to get his stuff.
After that i went to suku to eat with Jay and Zach and Bill. There i eat roti canai.

Now i'm back, i think i got some stomachache (not use to the food already). Yet i love my Malaysian food. Going to sleep soon. Totally feeling the jet lag now. Flighting for four days straight is not fun. I'm going to make sure i buy a ticket next time to only flight one day. Alright see you many of you guys later this week, till then nighty night.

Love,

The Parade Worth Coming.

Hi,

Monday.
i have spent my Monday on the plane. San Francisco to Japan takes quite a day. I arrive at Japan at 430pm (which is like one hour ahead in Malaysia). I did not really like the Japan airport. I thought there will be free internet there because you know Japan technology advance ( i have thought wrong).

Okay, on the plane i watch this show, the Book of Eli, i thought it was pretty alright. At the first, the story is quite blurry but once comes to the end then things became clear. This movie is simple, very melodrama. The nice touch to show was that the dude (Danzel Washington played) was memorizing scripture. It is really a good side about this story. So my rate for this show has to be 6 out of 10. Well, the show is quite boring at parts. Too much sand and walking on roads.
But watching this show in a deeper sense than it has a lot of meaning, symbolic and philosophy.

Alright, i have been also watch this show called Leverage. The show is pretty cool.

Hmm...i have to catch my next flight to Singapore. Will be home soon like 5-6 hours. I know there is a huge delay at Singapore. Man i smell bad and i feel quite so uncomfortable. i want to sleep in my cold room. My bed.
Will see you guys soon till then nighty night.

Party,

Outcome Comes Homely

Hello,

Sunday.
I arrive at San Francisco early hours in the morning. I think it was 150am. In the whole entire flight i was praying to God that you would take care of me and arrange something to connect my flight back to Malaysia.
Once i touch down and getting out of the place. There were few (many) people suppose to transfer to Taipei, Taiwan, so i got talking with some of them. And most of them were very angry about this flight delay. In the midst of this, God answered my prayer. He spoke through a guy (worker from Delta Airline), he told us to follow him. Delta airline has arranged for us (people that were supposed to be traveling to Taiwan) a new flight schedule. The best part about his was Delta paid for us a one night stay at the Hyatt Regency (hotel).
My flight back has change now. I would be returning home on May 18th at 8am plus. Actually i could arrive earlier but i would be stuck in Singapore for about 4 hours.

There were some hiccups with the hotel at first because originally, we were to stay at the Crown Plaza but their shuttle bus will not run till 4am. So we change it to Hyatt. I love Hyatt Regency hotel. I think is the best hotel ever.

Anyway, i got into the Hyatt hotel around 4am. Settle down, cool down, and then sleep around 630am. I was emailing important things to people. Man, this flight delay has caused me much trouble. Thank you, God for providing everything. You never let you people down.
Thank God that Hyatt provide free internet. hehe

Later in the morning, i woke up at 830am. Get ready to take my next flight. I was read to leave American soil. Sorry, i could not take any pictures of San Francisco. ( i did not have the time).
I was one of the first ones to check-in. I will be flying from San Francisco to Japan, Narrita to Singapore then Malaysia, finally home.

I will be flying off at 1210pm to Japan.

Alright see you guys around soon. Do continue to pray for me for save journey and no more flight delay too. I cannot wait to sleep on my bed and eat some real Malaysian food. Till then nighty night.

House,

Come and Goes

Hey,

Saturday.
It was all good. I could not sleep because one of my friend's roommate is a loud snorer. However, i got enough sleep to fuel me for the day.
I went to church in the morning with my friend. It is a local church near the airport. It like CBC first started it's center in Sea Park.
Me and my friend attend this Sunday School for Adults. It's like life-group but focus more into the Word. There is a topic and of course a teacher but everyone shares his or her own opinion on the topic. Like today topic was Rest. The cool thing was that people share their opinion with scripture. That's powerful.
I wish that our kids to adults do this. Just bounce off thoughts and then come into conclusion with everyone agreeing with it.

Anyway, my friend drop me off at the airport. My check-in baggage was 55kg. That's really heavy. But the airline people let it through without charging me extra cost because i carried one bag.
Went through the screening process. It was long for me there because the security were older than expected and they did not know my external hard-drive is. But with further explaining from me that it is a computer device they let me go.

My flight to Atlanta was fast. I had to wait for me flight at 9pm. I was at Atlanta at 2pm. Long wait. Thank God i had something to accompany me. My trusty laptop. Watching Leverage. Quite an interesting show. I like it.

Okay, so as i was waiting for my flight to San Fransisco. As the time was nearing to departed, the event change. Why?It was not an incoming plane that got delay at else where to pick us. The airline company forgot to take the plane from the hanger to take us. People were getting piss. I was too but manage to keep calm as i know God has his reasons. The flight got delay to 12am. So i have confirm missing my flight to Taiwan already.

I will tell you this tomorrow because this happen on Sunday morning. So till then nighty night. Will post tomorrow story.

Stop,

The Game Controller Addiction

Hey,

Friday.
A rude awakening at 8ish in the morning as my RA and RD step into my room to do room inspection. It was done in 5 minutes as the RD went to the toilet and just told me to take out the trash before i leave. The event was so fast that i did even notice and just went back to sleep.
Today i did some school work. i have to feel in some tax form. Even though i did not work, they just want to know my status. The government want to know what going on with me. IRS. scary stuff.

Anyway, come back home. Finish up packing. Hang out with my hall mates.
Say my last good byes at 9ish pm.

Now i'm staying with a friend's place before i leave to Atlanta tomorrow. My flight schedule apparently change a little bit in time. But it does not affect the time i'm coming home.


Alright, i better get to sleep. Tomorrow i'll be going to church with my friends before they send me to the airport. Do pray for me that my bag is not overweight and save journey too. Till then nighty night.

Home Coming

Hey,

Thursday.
Coming down the days till i reach home is making me very edgy. I badly really want to go home now. Another four days more.

Today, i just continue cleaning my room.

Later at night, i went to watch Iron Man 2. My rating for this movie is 7.5/10. the starting is a bit too slow. Showing the Ivan making the suit is a too long. The in between of the show is quite alright. The end is a bit cheesy. Overall, it deserve a 2 time seeing. More than 2 will make it dull. Not bad show.

Friday,
Another day before i fly. i so dearly cannot wait. I would be home alone too when i get back. Alright i have to really pack. My stuff is still not really organize.
Do pray for me that my bag is not overweight. Or else it will be big problem for me. I do not have a weighting machine. So do pray for me alright and the bag. Okay till then nighty night.

Cheers,

Focus Fades Out, Enjoyment Comes In

Hey,

Wednesday.
This day is really a head for study. I woke up in the morning feeling all quite ready for the exam. I did not get to study before the exam. Maybe just 10 minutes. The thing about me is that i know the material but once taking the exam there is a chance i know and do not know moment.
The music exam today was crazy. The teacher, well decided to have 100 questions for the final. Everyone of course did not like it. Today is supposedly the last day of exams, unless the person takes a once a day class which makes the person final on Thursday.
The exam for me, i think went pretty alright. I know much of the material. My prayer now is to get an A in that class.

English exam was coming up at 330pm. My head having hiccups now. Tired. Stress. Worry. I took a small nap to quiet down myself. Wake up about one hour and half to study for English. I believe i was more ready for English than Music. The English material was easy to understand and all.
The English i took later, was what i expected. All fill in the blanks type. The questions was quite easy. All was straight forward type. I like. In the end, of all English exams is to write an essay.

I think i did better in English today than Music. Hope i'll get an A for both classes.

Later in the day, i went for a quick bite at the dining hall then i was off to buy some stuff. i brought some stuff to help me clean my room.
I came back and i dive into cleaning my room. My room is not really a mass. Quite clean. But once coming down to the details than it is worse than cleaning my own room. The school is really strict on the room being clean. And i mean really strict. You know the stuff in between the tiles on the floor has to be white color. There must be no dirt in between that. Shine surface has to be polish too till you can see your pimples on the face. Crazy right.

So i have been doing till now, i just took a break and writing this post. My room is clean. Really clean that i can see my skin flake drops on the floor (not literary). The worse thing is that i'm not done cleaning and my RA is coming to inspect my room. Grr...
Oh my RA is here now. Sweet...He told me that i have been doing this for hours cleaning that he would switch my day of inspection to another day, maybe on the day before i leave. Thank you Jesus Christ, my Savior.

Now i get to eat something and best of all rest. My body is aching everywhere. I wish i could be in a massage parlor now. I think i really need one. Alright, i'm going to bed soon after my supper. I'm coming so soon now. Is like what, 5 days more. That's like 120 hours more. Okay, so till then nighty night. Pray for me that i would finish cleaning my room and packing and also my health even though i'm not sick but who knows.

The Cadenza Focus

Hi,

Tuesday.
My plan to wake up early has backfire. I guess i needed the extra sleep. I woke up around 11am. Shower then lunch.
After lunch, i was in-sync in completing my study guide for two of my classes. Music and English.
These two are my last two exams of the semester. I already secure two classes by getting an A in both of them. Hopefully, both these two exams tomorrow will help me get sure A too.
I'm not confident that i would get an A in both classes but i'm very confident i'll get a sure B in both of them. 3.5 GPA is pretty alright for this semester.
However, i'm determine to get an A in all my classes.

I have been going back and forth with studying and cleaning my room. I did not realize i have so many stuff to pack up. The worse thing is that i have to finish all the packing and cleaning by tomorrow night at 11pm. Because there is a white-glove check-out. This check out is ensure that the room is clean for next year semester students to use it. Yea, i know, i'm not coming back to same room. i cannot pick the same room because the school housing department do not allow students to use the same room. Also, i'm moving to another room because i'm under a different leadership (RA and SLD) next semester.

I thank God that i have friends that stay off campus. They allow me to put my stuff at their place for the summer. That's good huh?

I wish i could stay off campus too but then that would lead to getting a car, bills, etc. I like staying on campus. I just wish i have more scholarships. i can go on with the list of wishes that i want here in US but another time.


Anyway, i better get back to studying. Please do pray for me. I need the total focus now and clear understanding of the material. I really want to ace this two exams. Pray that i would have much energy tomorrow, mental power to study and strength the whole day. I think i would be from 7am to very late tomorrow. My exam starts at 8am for music and 330pm for English. Great timing huh? The time is the good time to sleep some more. grr...So do pray for me alright. Till then nighty night.

Music.
