Entries for January, 2006
Just got back from my second trip to new york a few days ago. There was this incident i find amusing.
One day my dad decided to take us to this "buffet place" to get lunch. It turned out to be a soul food restaurant in the middle of Harlem, New York......
i'm trying to be careful so as not to sound racist, but there were black people as far as the eye can see..
but we didn't get any stares lah, although being the only asian family of four eating soul food in harlem, there were some white folks around the place also ler, so i guess my narrow-mindedness was due to the influence of media..stupid tv shows..
nothing hype with xmas and new year's, went to church during both occassions. was able to jam for abit with uncle freddy, who turned out to be a hillsong freak. in the end played "special music" for a sunday service, with kp on guitar and parents as back-up.
my parents moved to a new place, cuz the old landlord decided to sell his house. but it's still in the immediate area. i think the place is nice, like a typical chinese home in msia: marble floor with chandelier in the living room topped with widescreen tv + sound system, nicely tiled bathroom and kitchen.
one other family who lives there is a mom and her two kids michelle and owen. i think owen is the first 5 year old kid i've met who is grouchy in the mornings. He moans and whines for mommy every morning. The days when he has no school, he wraps himself in his blanket and watches sin chan cartoons in bed all morning.
But they're nice kids ler, playful but not hyperactive.

formatted my computer today. but i wasn't clever enough to back up my stuff. so i lost everything, the photos, the music, countless powerpoint, word and excel files.
my treasures...
or was that my junk? a lot of stuff i never use or look after a while.
isit like that in life? things you think are important or invaluable turn out otherwise? like getting a degree, going to graduate school, getting a decent paying job, etc..?
mom and dad, please don't call me up for a talk.
i watched a few episodes of cantonese drama with my housemates today. you know, the kind they show on tv on weekdays, or on wah lai toi..
i think if you've watched one, you've watched them all. i mean, girl falls for guy, guy doesnt know, guy goes for other girl, guy finds out about first girl, etc.. but i think it's actually pretty interesting, because tv is almost always exaggerated. so they really nail the subject of feelings..hehehe
kids going thru teenage love crisis should watch hongkong/korean series'..hehe
i don't know about you, but when i grew up i went through it. i was always confused about these feelings that come and go. it changes from one girl to the next.
why do we rely on these feelings when they are so fickle and so...can i say, shallow? should we even use them in our relationship with God? i mean, the times you feel down, dry, far away from God, and you conclude that you need to "get right with God"..
how about this..nothing you ever do will change the relationship you have with God, because He will never turn away from you, He will never stop loving you, because you have accepted Jesus.
k..let me get ready with my bulletproof vest before you all shoot me.

i had an interesting conversation with my housemate john before i went to church yesterday. i was putting on my shoes, when he asked me where i was going. i told him i was going to church. he said, oh..why?
i said ehh...why arr?
he said, yea why? you did something wrong?
...at that point i was pretty amused. but i thought what he said was interesting if not profound. he had a paradigm of what religion is, maybe in light of what his own religious customs are.
