ahhhh I remember what I was going to post about hahahah
Saw this posted on youtube I think on the singapore 9gag account
Well, I think it's simple enough to understand right? One word - hypocrisy. 
I don't have the right to criticise people who are like that nor do I have the right to judge them. It's also not very surprising that many people agree with the picture. For many years, this has been the impression of christians. Reminds me of some information that my church pastor brought up a while ago about, the number one word non-christians described christians was 'hypocrites' and the second was 'anti-gay'. 
So many christians behave like this and thus such an image results. Even Mahatma Gandhi was turned off by the church-goers in the past. Apparently he was interested in the ideas of our God but he was not impressed by His people because they kicked him out because he was despised as a result of the caste system. 
Isn't God's message to love? Honestly, loving every single person isn't easy. Jesus said to love your enemies and to love your neighbour as you love yourself, isn't it? It isn't easy, I myself have disliked people, maybe not to the point of hate but close enough. But you know, sometimes, you just have to let go. When you saw a person in need, did you help them? Honestly, the last time I helped someone is probably quite a while ago. But hey, God isn't asking you to be perfect because He knows you can't but it doesn't mean you can be ignorant to people who you can help. What you do unto them is what you do unto God. 
Even the homosexual issue, so many christians discriminate them. I'm not supportive of homosexuals but that doesn't mean I have the right to criticise and judge them. God did disapprove of them in the bible but that doesn't mean christians should judge and look down on them right? What's the will of God? It's to spread the Gospel throughout the world and the share God's love is it not? Not saying that christians should support homosexuality but shouldn't they at least respect them as any other person? Being homosexual doesn't make them any less a human and just because you believe in God doesn't mean you can judge or criticise. Instead, show some love, some understanding and let them learn about God's love through His people. His people represent Him and with the common image of being hypocrites, how would others want to learn more about this loving God with selfish hypocrite followers? 
What's the point in praying and praising God with all your heart when you can't even show love for others? 

Some food for thought. That's all for now!

I must really be getting old-.-
Was organising thoughts in my head about a post and then when I logged in I don't remember what I was going to post..

It's the end of the first week back at uni! So tired..just the first week and they let us know that we have to do a presentation in 3 weeks and a 2000-words essay end of next month..looks like it's going to get very busy :/ Research itself already takes so long and then plus preparing the actual end product plus doing all the referencing..and it's only the first week back. Need to kick myself into the studying rhythm again. After the holidays..I've continued sloth-ing and still watching videos and going around facebook. I really need to start getting serious soon><

Unlike what I planned..as usual..I haven't finished the birthday stuff, like the inefficient person I am-.- ahhh I will try my veryveryvery best to finish it this weekend and post it next week.

Hmm..I forgot what else I was going to post so I'll update again sometime..

Really weird for me to post so many times a day in such a long time, especially considering that I posted a long one just before.

Finally changed blogskin! Finally to something more cheerful and less..grey and colourless. Did away with the tagboard, no one tags anyway and I just get rubbish tags from weird people asking me to visit their blog-.- And also, the font is slightly bigger in this new one! Was starting to find my previous blogskin so irritating with that tiny minute font-.- Went on blogskin.com and uh, most of the blogskins there have tiny minute font..seriously, if there is a long post, the tiny minute font will probably make you dizzy-.- 

One thing about this one though..is that I have no idea how to change the music or even remove it-.- it doesn't have a title for it and I have no idea how it's coded. I just checked and there's only one song meant to play and I don't even know that song..anyone knows how to change it? Please tell me soon asap! :D Happy reading!

Edit: Ok I figured out where the code for the music was but now problem is..how do I change my music?>< The player is from sheepproductions.com and apparently they need me to upload the music somewhere first and then link it but then where should I upload it? The website recommends dropbox but I checked up on it and apparently there are some privacy issues..anyway, for now, I've stopped the music and you may read in peace lol



9:04 PM

Before logging in I had plenty of things to type up but then I suddenly blanked when I came to the posting screen..


Yet another hectic semester ahead. Was laughing at a friend's timetable last semester(he had 8am starts 3 times a week) and then now..I have 9am starts 3 or 4 times a week-.- I don't end as late though, latest I've seen so far is at 4, and usually it's about 2-3pm which is still ok I guess..I have weird tutorials though :/ One tutorial(same subject) once every 2 weeks is at 3-4pm and that's the only thing I have in uni that day-.- In short,  I have to travel at least 2 hours to and fro from uni and spend an hour in uni..waste of my time. Talking about uni, I forgot to pay my semester 2 fees hahhahaha. I paid only last night when it was due last friday lol. Called the uni yesterday to check if I could still pay and was answered by this very bored-sounding receptionist person. Well, anyway, paid up and it takes 5 days to process. At most, I just don't have internet access in uni for the first 2 days.

The holidays has passed by really quickly, and as usual, didn't accomplish much of what  wanted to do.

Don't even know what I DID accomplish during the holidays lol not even watching/finishing any dramas. I somehow lost interest..maybe I'll start watching sungkyungkwan scandal hahah(song joongki!! :D) Finished only one drama series which has to be my record low for a 5 week holiday lol. Not even interested in fahrenheit's dramas. Was planning to watch so many not long ago, like sunshine angel(wuzun and rainie yang), fated to love you 2(rainie yang), absolute boyfriend(Jiro and goo hye sun), Alice in wonder city(Aaron yan) and I have lost total motivation to watch any of them. Apparently the ratings for the more recent ones being absolute boyfriend and alice in wonder city doesn't have very good viewership ratings and the storylines are all a bit... Also read a bit of news about Jiro being rumoured to leave Fahrenheit which will cause permanent disbanding of Fahrenheit. Here: http://asianfanatics.net/forum/topic/772261-fahrenheit-on-the-verge-of-disbandment/
I wasn't really shocked when I read it. Honestly, I used to really like them and then after wuzun left and I came to melbourne everything sort of cooled down. After wuzun left there was no news about them and I don't even know what they all are doing now. I didn't even know aaron was shooting a drama until it finished shooting-.- Apparently all the movies wuzun has worked on since he left(2-3 movies) were all bombs at the box office, and maybe aaron is preparing a new album? Calvin is still hosting the Asia entertainment show thing(I don't even know the name and can't watch it anywhere) and Jiro I think is moving off into acting also. So anyway, there are speculations that after he releases his album, he might not renew his contract. Well, they all are getting quite old(especially compared to the kpop stars and other young taiwan singers) so I'm not surprised that they're heading off in different directions.  What has happened has happened and what is to come will come. At least there's the memory off all 4 together, once upon a time.

Was going to learn korean this holidays too..as of now, I can read the korean alphabet but..vocab is still a problem :/ It's so hard to learn it now at this age..and I'm not even that old-.- Been watching a lot of running man episodes hahah. It's so funny! The permanent members are all so funny lol. Would watch family outing season 1 if there were more episodes..I think I finished most of them long time ago..

Shall move on to what I actually DID do during the holidays hahah. Spent the first week hermitting at home-.- because some people still had exams and I didn't really want to disturb anybody during the exam season. Went out a lot the first 2 weeks of holiday, met friends, went out almost every day and then when the school holidays for high school began, I stopped going out that much lol, went out like once a week-.- AND THEN, here comes the exciting event lol! I WENT SKIING! Drove to mt buller last thursday, arrived in the evening. Weather forecast for mt buller was raining(and that's not good because it will melt the snow and then if it turns to cold it will turn to ice and you can't exactly ski on ice..) so we didn't rent the skis when we arrived. Stayed at a nice place overlooking a lake and some hills and it had a real fireplace! We were provided with a full basket of firewood and uh..2 logs remained when we left lol..Anyway, that night my brother and I used the jacuzzi bath tub in the toilet. It's been so long since I've been in a bathtub hahah. Anyway, next morning(friday) my dad woke us at 7.30 in the morning, got out of the house an hour later and went to rent the skis. Got fitted with all the stuff and then drove up the mountain. Had like 2 runs on the beginner run and uh, I was so scared lol, so scared of losing control and falling down-.- Furthermore it was really foggy and raining a bit so visibility was quite low. Anyway, my dad signed us all up for lessons and so my brother went to the kids one(because he's under 15 hahahhaha) and I went to the same one as my dad. Actually, I went to a class for level 3 skiers and there weren't enough people to supervise so..we joined with the level 4 people(which my dad went to. I think I was the youngest and super paiseh because I was super slow and kept getting tangled/falling down and everyone had to wait for me-.- Learnt parallel skiing and I think I sort of got it. Anyway, my brother lost the helmet that we rented before his lesson and the kids must have helmet to take the lesson so..in the end he took mine and we didn't find the one he lost. How was it lost?(so amazing right-.-) He was complaining about it being troublesome etc. and gave it to my dad to put in his bag and the genius of my brother didn't zip the bag and it quite simply fell out when we took the chairlift..cost like $50 to replace it. The person at the shop was also quite stunned how we lost a helmet lol..like a helmet is so huge..it's quite hard to lose right? WRONG.

Then on saturday, we planned to go skiing again and then drive back from there afterwards. So we got up around 8 and then eat breakfast, pack up ad checkout. The owner has a veryveryvery friendly/passionate black dog which I also know is a female lol. My dad went to return some DVDs and the cabin keys and then the dog was there at the door. I opened the car door slightly and made this clicking noise and then the dog came right next to the car immediately :O and then I made the clicking sound again and the dog like turned on it's back for my to rub the belly lol. So cute! But then it wasn't a very pretty dog but still! And then the dog like turned back and fit it's head under my arm lol and started licking my chin. I spent days and weeks with my cousin's dog and he refuses to show any attention ot affection for me and this dog licks my face the first time I touch it lol what is this-.- My dad came out and was going to leave so I stood up and then the dog stood on it's hind legs also and like "hugged" me at the waist and it actually wouldn't let go, it was hugging quite tightly lol. My dad was like you can stay here, we're leaving and then he laughed and started the engine, so I had to push he dog off ): then I smelt like a dog after I got in the car.. drove up the mountain again and yes, went skiing again. Went on the beginner runs a few times and my brother who kept calling me a noob kept falling down and I had to help him get up-.- Went for 2 or 3 rounds on the beginner run and then had nut bars for lunch haha the nut bar was so cold and hard-.- Went to try an intermediate run that my dad claimed to be ok and not too difficult. THE SLOPE WAS SO STEEP AND THE PATH WAS SO NARROW, and all the other people are literally speeding down the slope. If you don't know, you increase your skiing speed by going straight, and you slow down by turning left and right making a continuous 'S' shape. So, the path being narrower means you have less space to turn on a steep slope and you go veryveryvery fast, and I tend to lose control..but anyway, my brother fell face forward and when you're skiing you can't move your legs as you like because you can break your leg. And so, when he fell down, I was behind him and..I tried to stop beside to help and crashed into him/under him and then he started screaming like a banshee-.- I honestly thought I like cut his fingers or broke his leg seriously-.- He screamed so loud, my dad almost 10-20m in front stopped skiing and walked up the steep slope to see what happened, and about 5 ladies came to see what was wrong and if they could help. In the end, there was a ski teacher and she called for ski patrol and so, my brother had to walk somewhere and got driven to the end of that run to take the chairlift up. And then I continued skiing down with my dad, fell down quite a few times also..super steep slopes. At the end I was surprised I wasn't aching anywhere lol. It started snowing very heavily at the end, like just queuing for the chairlift left us covered in snow. Met my brother at the top and turns out he was ok-.- so we went back to the beginner run and went on that quite a few times, each time having to wait for my brother somewhere..visibility was so bad that day. Snowing and hailing non-stop. It got quite painful when it hailed when we were on the chairlift lol because all the ice is flying and hitting your face-.- collected so much snow and hail just sitting on the chairlift haha. Visibility levels were so low especially at the top of the mountain, like people 3-5metres away would appear very hazy, on the chairlift you can barely see the chair in front. Anyway, we finished skiing about 4 and then there was a massive queue to take the shuttle bus back to the car park and so, collected more snow there while waiting for the bus. Finally got back to the carpark and our car was snowed in lol..like the roof and the windscreen and the windows. Was quite cool seeing this scene after more than a decade(I don't even remember that much of seeing this in the US). Brother had fun sweeping the snow. Sooo, we got changed, like removed the ski boots(too cold to change the wet ski pants) and began driving down the mountain and then it was DARK, like once we finished removing the ski boots and loading the ski gear in the backseat(no space in the boot lol), the sky was BLACK. Drove the mountain slightly and was stopped and told to put on the snow chains for the tyres. Dad couldn't get it on properly, spent half an hour fixing it, but at least we got it on. began driving down from there at about 6.45pm, took maybe half an hour or less to get to the down to return the ski gear and then begin on the way home. Stopped at a small town on the way home at 9+ and got a pizza because my dad was hungry(we only ate a nut bar for lunch and no dinner). When we finally reached the suburb we live in(so tempted to say MY suburb hahhaha) we went to this restaurant 'Straits of Malacca' ate char kway teow at like 11+ lol..was quite embarassed because I was wearing a hoodie and big fat track pants with slippers(since I changed in the car and it's harder to put on tights and shorts) and my hair was in a mess(I even tied my fringe up ok-.-) and I walked in with the hood covering almost my entire face lol and everyone inside stared at me when I walked in hahahha I seriously looked like I was wearing pyjamas hahahha. And then we finally went home from there and reached home at 12++am. Couldn't be bothered taking shower and since I'm already dressed in sleeping attire, I slept with my hood on on the sofa hahah with the cushions lol. Woke up bright and early to shower and wash hair hahaha. Good memories though, I enjoyed myself a lot! :D

The day after skiing is the worst..your whole body is aching hahahah. Your arms from pulling yourself using the ski poles, your thighs for..I don't know what and your butt..from falling down(ok luh..this time wasn't as bad as 2 years ago when I went to Falls Creek(another skiing area). It was quite painful to hold up pots and pans and water jugs with one hand hahahha

some pictures!
the fireplace I was talking about

Foggy friday morning

My..frozen hair..after skiing through a whole day of snow and hail
(Yes 2 hoods and 1 beanie)

Ok I believe this is a long enough post, I shall end here! :D

After being redirected to several different pages, I'm finally on this 'publish post' page -.-
I figured I should blog more now that it's the holidays and I actually have time to blog now, then leave my blog to partially rot during the school term.
Would look for a new blogskin but..I'm a bit too unmotivated(nice word for lazy) and I don't think as many blogskins are being put up anymore since blogger is sort of losing popularity(or already has..)
The number of people who read my blog is probably close to zero, but then again, my blog was never THAT popular haha.

It's been 2 and a half weeks, half of my holiday gone, nothing much accomplished LOL.
Good news, I got full marks for my mydispense test! :D Exam result out next monday, not really anticipating that one ): Don't think I'll do well, keep thinking that I failed organic chem too..typing this out just makes me scared :O

High school holiday ends after next week and so..stuck with my brother for one more week.
Apparently my dad's planning to go skiing but then there isn't enough snow to ski yet. My dad's friend(church friend) wants to go along with us as well and..I think it's going to be a bit awkward? Like he has 2 daughters, 1 a year older than me but same level(1st year uni) and 1 younger(a year older than David) and how should I put this. They're very err..independent? The older daughter won't go(we're friends but..not that close) and the younger daughter is quite :O Like super independent, I think even much more than me lol, I wouldn't so she's mature but..aiya I also don't know how to describe. Never mind I give up trying to describe-.-

Was supposed to go ice-skating(again) with my brother on tuesday but then hmm..we had an optometrist appointment and then ice-skating on tuesdays turn out not to be at half price during school holidays so yes, it was a lot more expensive and so we aren't going lol. But then also because we spent almost our whole afternoon at the optometrist-.- Because my brother, mother and I had scheduled eye tests and my brother went to try wearing contact lens(and took quite a while) and uh..just casual scanning of the insides and curvatures of our eyes(whatever that may indicate) so we spent quite a while there..
Would like to go one more time before uni starts again but I don't think anyone will go with me LOL..then  I think the week school reopens for my brother, there aren't trains running-.- Train line maintenance = bus replacement service. A bit troublesome to get around :/

Finished with one birthday letter. The present however..I haven't started on and thus, I haven't sent anything I'm sorry>< I know I'm late by like manymany months and moons but..I will get it done this holiday or else I will drag it on forever to the end of the year-.-
