Happy Father's Day!

What I did on Father's Day...

(Apart from the things you do with your dad) 

So... Happy Father's Day (again!)! I hope that you all enjoy this special time that you spend with your dads and reminisce all those years you've been with him :) 

But I'm not here to talk about my dad or the stuff that we did today (although I am grateful to God that he is my dad :))
No. I'm here to tell you of the success that I achieved today!! (besides the failure from my last blog :P ) 

TASK: Sell as many cookies as possible; sell all if you can! --> mission complete!!

Yep, that was what I did at church! ^_^ No this was not one of those trading/selling markets - please, this was for a good cause! The money will go towards our group going to the Paralympics this summer! Our team, called Xtreme Arts, is a voluntary organisation led by a group of young people (us) that provides art studio space for children ranging from 5 - 18. 

Our uniform... (btw, I'm not in this :P )
God has been so gracious to give us the opportunity of volunteering at this once-in-a-lifetime event! And the great thing was, we sold all the cookies we had today!! (of course there are more to be sold!) It was something worth to be thankful for! :D

What have you been up to? Well whatever it was, I hope it was good :)

Sorry guys! (part 1)

So about yesterday...

I was busy and attending a wedding reception but to make it up to you...

I will write two posts! Here's one of them:

Haikus

One of the many things I love about Japan is their creative writing. And one of the famous types is Haiku. Haikus are written in 3 lines, usually containing a 5, 7, 5 syllable pattern. And guess what? I have made one myself - in less than a minute! (or two)

This was during the time when I chatted to my friend Lucy (which was weeks ago), who is obsessed with Japanese manga, anime and things like that (she told me the name for it but I forgot D: )*. Anyway, here is the link and print screen of my haiku... 

The title, 'Pink Tissue Paper' somehow reminds me of sakura (blossoms)... (and yes, I was listening to LMFAO! \m/)
She said it was "somehow serene" which was nice ^_^ And I hope you guys like it too :)

Be ready for the next post... 

~Toodles~ GB,

p.s if you have the time, check out other creative writing by my friend :D she is awesome at this stuff!!
*p.p.s just asked her and the word is "Otaku" ^^

Art in 3D

What I've done (for GCSE Art)

the phrase above is also a song from Linkin Park XD

SO another day, another post... in this blog. I was thinking of what to write here and then an idea sparked on my mind about art and here it goes...

I <3 ART! And I have no doubt about it. And you probably have guessed that I do from my very first post. :) I'm not saying that I haven't got any spare time, because I do but I don't have much of it - which is a problem if you did Art GCSE like me D: But somehow, I made this thing in 2/3 somewhat days... and my teachers said it was interesting!! (YAY!) 

ORIGAMI in 2 days and 3 hours - too long or too short? 

It took me flipping ages (days actually!) but it paid off and I used it for my exam final piece, which I think went successful... 

I'll let God decide on that but in the meantime, I'll be praying for my GCSE results!! ~nerrrvous~ And be revising for my last GCSE exam next week!! WOOO!! (which is Textiles ^^)

I wish all you GCSE students and others luck on your exams! Now go, revise! :P

Happy Birthday Kevin Wu!!

a.k.a KevJumba a.k.a the Bear Wrestler...

Just posting this before my revision full of fun in the world of mathematics! (YAY! :( )

SO yeah, my friend Cheryl posted on Facebook that it's KevJumba's birthday today (I had to check on Wikipedia too to make sure)!!!! :D 

It will have to be million years for him to see this (which is never) but I just want to post to say that words cannot describe how much I love this guy! I'm pretty much throwing my education in the bin to watch his videos on Youtube every night which always completes my day :3 He doesn't have to do much to impress me and/or others. 

It moves! He looks soo cute XD

I can state that he is a LEGEND, because he clearly is... And his dad, well what can I say? He is one of the most awesome dads I have ever seen - no wonder his son is such a ledge (I know this isn't how you spell it but it'll look really weird if I put "leg" :P) 

And thank God you exist (he exists) in this world full of imperfection; we need more people like you (him)! That's probably why you're (he is) in YTF ^_^ 

Anyway, have a great day on your 22nd KevJumba :) 

From one your fans in England but who is an Indonesian :)

The Neville-Longbottom Syndrome

(or something like that...)

So during my exam revision break, I decided to write another post! Wooooo!!! I'm writing on this blog, like every day (I get bored easily, alright?!) 

Soooo, I was just on Facebook yesterday, scrolling through my newsfeed like any other Facebook-stalking teen and it struck me when a page that I liked showed me someone of whom I loved ever since I was little. Wanna guess?

I thought not. If I show you this picture, it'll be pretty obvious if you had a great childhood like me... But if you only cover the left half of this, you will never have guessed who the heck it is. 

I have never doubted your beauty...


Haven't got it yet? Oh my days, it's JOHN PECK from Drake and Josh!!! Of course everybody knows that, surely! But if you don't, then I really don't know what happened to your childhood. Must have been terrible and incomplete without Drake and Josh. I mean I thought they were the coolest "brothers" in the whole wide world. And they still are, their bromance is totally influential and inspirational to those who have siblings or just have good friends. 

However, going back to the topic, this so-called Neville-Longbottom Syndrome (or whatever it is called) is a very rare disease. Basically, during childhood the child was not good-looking or attractive but through that useful puberty, external changes became somewhat beautiful and rather pleasing to look at. Examples given, Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) had that goofy look when he was a child in the set of Harry Potter. Now, I don't know how to describe his appearance - it's so beautiful! Don't get me wrong or anything, but you wouldn't argue with me on that one. 

And this rare, unique disease is spreading slooowly... Josh Peck is very lucky to have had gone through this and the outcome is successful. I Love You Josh!

"... take all these stars"

"I dreamed a dream in time gone by..."

My friend made all these stars for me to take home... And it just reminds me that these aren't only paper stars, they represent all the wishes and hope there are and the thought of this gives me so much courage to face challenges ahead of me, whatever they may be and whether they are visible or not.

(8) Reach for the stars (8)
We have dreams ("I have a dream") but how many of them come true? Or we try to make them come true? Not many I bet. It's hard but if it's easy, we'd never be able to achieve something far greater than our imagination. 

My dream? To be a fashion designer. It may look impossible but I pray to God that if He is willing, I will become one. To reach for that star, I try my best to get the best grades at Art and Textiles and continue to keep up the hard work. I always depend on God everyday, tell Him my wishes in the hope that they might come true (nothing is impossible with God). For me, it helps A LOT! To just tell Him everything is like having a talking diary that you could never see... No need for pages, no need for ink and no need to write - simples! He is truly amazing and I pray that I will always glorify him in my life. 

Right now, I'm just living a normal Christian life and studying (boo :( ). But most importantly, I look up and live the way God wants me to.
