Tracks

So today was both fun and boring. I was left at home alone by my mother who went to send my brother and sister to an after-school program at school, and it sounded fun to me. Back from transporting, my mother bought me Laksa because she knew I've been craving for it for these last two days. And I ended up can't finish it, because I was too full with I don't know. TV show? I don't think so.

Then in the afternoon, I wrapped my sister's new Standard 3 text and activity books. I paused and continued repeatedly while I was doing that. This explains it : I was watching NSN, and I can't keep my eyes of Bieber! Yeah, babbling again. Afterwards, I watched some TV series with my siblings and eventually fell sleepy. And I had a nap until it was seven, something. That was for my father who actually woke me up. Thanks to him, if not I'll be sleeping until sometime.

I caught a few pictures by then, but now I don't know where the camera is. So in the bright morning okay?

Then in the night, I went to the Boys Home to accompany my father on a Bible class for the naughty boys there. I thought that they were going to send a woman warden with them so at least I won't have to feel weird being the only girl, but the look turned me down. Oh well. I had to get used to sit among naughty boys who were once so aggressive.

See these boys were either caught by the police and sent here or recommended themselves by their parents because of their hyper-activeness. I got this wonderful yet washed feeling for them. It was such a sad thing to see them separated from their families, just because of their 'fault.' So there' one thing I learned here-thankful :)

So we learned about being a new-born Christian, passage taken from a talk with Nicodemus (John 3:1-13). It was wonderful watching them listen so obediently to the teacher for the night. Amazement overwhelmed me with their attitude. I was touched!

Anyway, I was told to blog about this guy, and he recommended himself. Muhammad Khairi Azizi. bin Koes Allyman or I call him M. KAKA :)

He's one of my bestest friends. He knows most of my secrets, I know a bit of his. But we seriously never forget each other when we are down or either sides are not ourselves. He's big, essential as a protector, his hair is mend into a Jacob-like structure just like his brother's. He seriously looked heart-melting (for other girls, not me) with that outlook. Wanna see?

Haha. Brother, you're one teddy bear y'know? Gonna miss him next year, and lots more important people in my lives :"(

Yeah, that's all I could describe about him. Model on my blog-page :)

And now, I just finished writing a letter for my grandma in Australia. I'm gonna ask my father to send it for me tomorrow to the post office. If not, I'll drive the car all the way there, like I dare to drive on the main road. 

So here's the finished letter with my signature on it. I hope she receives it, and I'll have a reply within less than five months. If not, then I'm flying on the plane once more. I'd browse through the airline tickets online and it surprised me to find out there were no cheap tickets for the Christmas season.

And now I'm randomly posting pictures. Don't get mad :)

She was a sister, very :)

That's me and my father, laughing at Ted's joke about a sausage bun.

Now these three pictures were taken two days ago during a preaching day by Pastor Christopher from a local church in KL.

Enjoying our food, and I ate through all my Nasi Lemak Ayam. 

Our youth leader, Ted Walter.

Wonderful musicians, Dominick and Nathaniel.

Mission Trip, New Friends and Love, and Also..

Like I said, I was on a three-day mission to Debak, Sarawak. It was a wonderful place to explore, with the greens all around you know? And the river! Yes, that crystal-clear river. Oh, so colddd. I don't the picture, the camera was with my father. And yes, I did went with Sonia, Dominick, Venney, Nathanael, Joshua and more new friends I just made with. They made me laugh like, all the time with their brand new jokes and funny songs. Man, they were amazing. 

I had a fight with some of our members for a while there, and I believe it's by the power of God that we are able to talk to each other again. Thank God, she was a friend who was always there when I need her, but I can't believe we'd fallen into a trap which separates us! But God was and is always there and I know He didn't want to see us fight during a mission trip, because we are going to set up example for people who are yet to know Him, through us. She was a wonderful girl, Dominick's girlfriend, Sirai's sister. My adorable, lovable sister! Venney :) 

These were our Sunday service musicians- Nathanael, Alex, a little boy and Joshua.

Venney is the one in blue, holding a peace sign.

Okay the pictures came out not in order, which surprised me. Well, who cares right? And did you guys caught the weird writing on a black wall? That's the writing of our own Iban's Leonardo Da'Vinci, named Dunging. If we are on the radio stations every morning, we could hear him reciting the Pantun Bulan or a poem, written especially during waiting for the harvesting moment to come for these local pagans. And during the period,they will come out with many kinds of  ideas and programs on what to do during the harvesting season. This is one of the amazing cultures, still practiced in Sarawak.

Moving on to today, I technically arranged EVERYTHING in my room to pass the time while my mother's not at home, and the ending turned out wonderfully amazing! Now I can come back from school and lay straight on my bed. :D I'll post the pictures tomorrow, okay? Later around two, I started getting busy around the house. I tidied up the living room, kitchen, parent's bedroom, Gerald's bedroom (which was a beautiful mess) and finally the car porch. It was nice, and tiring so afterwards I decided to do exercise a bit, to make me real tired and I could sleep better in the night. :) Dreaming too much? We'll see....

Then I caught pictures when I thought the camera was not at home. I found it in my mother's dressing table's drawer. I played PVP with my brother for a while and watched TV too. Around 5PM, we went out to play badminton and football with our neighbors. We had great time, and since it was after a short light rain, I got a shot of a double rainbow! The second one can't be seen though, sorry!

That's my father's uniform badge.

And here are more unrevealed pictures :)

Edited into squares.

Though the other pictures didn't have any watermarks, but please. Taking out pictures is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. Thank you :)

AstridSwift, signing off. How does that actually sound? Stay tuned, goodnight!
