I will not try to justify myself in this writing.. I think I am just being a real b***h.. The truth is, I am an occasional b, which according to my definition is someone who is not naturally a b but can turn into one PRN (as necessary)..
The story started when I moved to Canberra and I had to live in a share house with total strangers.. This couple moved into the house approximately 2 weeks after I moved in. I had to share the bathroom and toilet with them. First impression, bah... I don't like them! They did not say a word to me, as if I was invinsible.. I tried to went to the girl (who just passed me then sitting in front of the telly) and introduced myself and all. OK, it was fine. Later on, came along the guy. Before I could say hi and introduced myself, he already turned his face away. WTF?!! Fine then.
Get to the main story.. I went to use the toilet and awh what was that?? An empty roll of tissue hanging on the holder. So annoying! So I went back to my room to get the replacement. OK, maybe because they just moved in, they did not have toilet tissue yet. But couldn't they say something to me? For example, "Sorry, we don't have toilet tissue yet so we used yours and now it's finished. Would you replace it for the moment and we'll change it later after we buy some?" Something like that. Basic courtesy, helloooowww????? But nah.. Nada.... Nothing voiced...
OK that was only first time. Maybe they would change the next one. But when the time came... Ermm... Whatt??? Still an empty roll hanging there?? Idiots... Came back to my room to get the replacement again. But this had to come to an end. So the next time it was finished, I left the empty roll hanging there and I kept the tissue I used in my room. And oh, it worked. Finally there was a roll of tissue that was not mine hanging there. Maybe now they understood.
Ah too early for that thought. The same event occured again and again. Unless I did not replace the tissue, they would not let their tissue out. Seriously.... What the F are they thinking??? Sorry... I do not work to donate tissue toilet to sportsman and sportswoman (oh yeah, they are like athletes or something, have these uniforms from Australian Institute of Sports - where athletes are trained, and the girl definitely is a member of Canberra's basketball team). But once again let me emphasise... I.DO.NOT.WORK.TO.DONATE.TOILET.TISSUE.TO.SPORTSMAN.AND.SPORTSWOMAN!!!
How much does a roll of toilet tissue cost?? Why are they so cheapo??? It's just unbelievable how ignorant some people can be.
Actually there are other reasons why I hate my sharemates. Like they never clean after themselves after using the kitchen, the dishes are still dirty eventho they've washed them, they never clean the bathroom and the toilet (a few days ago I found a large volume of liquid on the toilet floor and I shouted about how disgusting it was but dang.. they were not home to listen to my loud complaint!), they slam the doors most of the times, the fact they still kind of ignore me everytime we pass each other (are they too shy, are they too proud being whatsoever called sports people, or are they just bloody racist??).
Anyway, this event made me reflect on the first share house I lived in. At the time, I was very shy and well, maybe a bit ignorant too. I knew I had to clean the bathroom and toilet but I didn't do it because I just didn't know how to do it. Fortunately, my sharemate then 'cared' about me so she told me everything I had to do and also the frequency to do the cleaning. So I'm a grown woman as I am at the moment partly because of her nurture. And now I'm thinking.. Should I tell my b****y sharemates to help them grow up too? Because with great power comes great responsibility. But ah, I'm moving out in 3 months (oh yeeaaahhhh)... So...... Let the battle continues......?

Reality Show
There was this Christian song that used to be my favourite when I was little. I had almost forgotten about it until one of my housemates played the tune on a piano a few days ago. The lyric is more or less like this :
"You may not understand what you experience now, why things that has happened, happened. One thing you need to remember is that everything that God gives is good. He would never give a poisonous snake to those who asked for a bread. The temptations that you have are not beyond what you can bear. God's hands are now sewing a masterpiece. There will be a certain time later when you can see the bigger picture that shows his love."
I noticed that there is one error in the lyric, in the part of giving a poisonous snake instead of a bread, because that is not what is really written in the Scripture. But I don't think that's a major error that could change the whole content of the song.
This lyric actually contains one of my used-to-be favourite verses that I had long forgotten : I Corinthians 10 : 13 which says, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
Since last year, I have experienced a big temptation that has become my biggest fear until now. I don't understand why God keep giving me this problem although He knows the importance of it to me. Then I started to question him: Is he really there? Does he really love me? Why don't I feel his love? Why is he being so unfair to me? Does he actually hate me and want to throw me away? The more and more I thought about it, the more faithless I've become. I told him that I can't bear this anymore, and I started to move away from him. I have even done the unthinkable things that I might regret in the future as an action to show him my protest and I didn't really care.
When I heard this tune played in the piano, it brought some memories back. How easy it was for me to mark this song as one of my favourites at that time when nothing went wrong. How easy it was to say "Your will be done in my life" when everything went exactly as I wanted it to be. How easy it was to be faithful when I got everything I wanted. But now that I did not (or have not yet, I don't know, I hope) get what I need the most (or is it what I want?), it is very hard to apply those things I've done previously. I still can't understand why this thing happened to me. I still can't accept if this is his will. And I seriously still think that this temptation has gone over my limit that I want to give up. I did try to be a complete faithless person aka an atheist. But I couldn't as I realised that I need more faith to not believe than to believe.
Long time ago, I asked God to keep me close to him always because I knew that I am not that strong. Several times I had fell down but I managed to rise up. This time is harder. I had decided to cut off my relationship with him (not reading Bible, not attending services, stopped my ministries) and keep protesting until he gives me what I want. I didn't think that was a good idea but I was so angry and didn't want to acknowledge him anymore. But then I heard this tune on the piano! Was this his way to remind me of his faithfulness when I've lost my faith? Was this his way to show me that he knows my struggles and sorrow? Was this his way to pull me closer? Whatever it was, it has successfully made me think about how strong I am and how much I can bear. And, I'm sure there will be a way out.

International
"International??"
"What kind of name is that??"
I started laughing without knowing that in less than a year I would be his girlfriend.
So I know this friend of mine from my previous school, and together with his girlfriend, we three are good friends. On last Christmas and New Year holiday, this couple went on a road trip with my friend's housemate. They showed me some photos from the trip and told me that his housemate is a very nice guy, and he is good looking as well. But since he doesn't like his picture being taken, there were not many of his pictures that I could see, and I wasn't interested anyway either. This guys was International, but I didn't know about it that time.
A few months after that, I decided to buy a car and I remembered of my friend who is studying to be a mechanic. I asked for his help to inspect a car that I wanted to buy. He told me that his knowledge was still little and referred me to another friend whom he knows is a very skilled mechanic. International. That was the day I laughed because I asked for his name. Unfortunately, we couldn't meet up since he had to move to another town on the inspection date.
Months later, my friend had to go back to his country because he was sick and the cost of treatment there is much cheaper than here. Since I've been good friends with his girlfriend, too, we often go out and have meal together. But those days, she refused to go out with me, saying that this friend of her boyfriend was very lonely and she agreed to accompany him having meals. We then rarely catch up until her boyfriend came back here and asked me to go out together. That time I was busy with uni stuff so I refused. He kept on asking, and I kept saying no. Finally, the day of my last exam came and I was officially free. I suddenly got a call from the girlfriend, asking me to come over to their place. When I arrived at their place, it appeared that they had arranged a meeting for me and this guy. Apparently he had heard lots of stories about me and somehow had seen my pictures then he asked to be introduced to me. This guy, well, was International. He came back here after around 3 months working in another town.
Things moved so fast and intense. Suddenly he asked me to be his girlfriend. I was not even ready for this but he is a very decent guy who treats me like a princess. If I said no, there would be no guarantee that he would still be around. So I decided to give it a chance =)
It took him around a year to finally cross my path. And things between us do not just run smoothly. At the moment, we are still struggling to be together. But if it's meant to be, it's meant to be.
A quote from a movie that I recently watched (with him) :
"As for the question of destiny... All I know is that even when destiny really wants to accomplish something, it can't do it alone. You still have to go to that restaurant. You still have to show up. You still have to build a bridge... to the one you love."

smilesmilesmilesmilesmile, PLEASE!!
I hate my old school.
Their system is just crappy. Even when I wanted to get out from there, it was very hard to do. I actually have finished the course and I needed Academic Transcript to enter university. But I got some issues with my Academic Transcript. The teacher had fixed it up but the grade had not been out in my Transcript. After giving more than 24 hours of my patience, I decided to go there to see what the problem was. I went to the Administration hub and they told me that they had not received the result from the teacher, that was why they would not do anything about my Transcript. They asked me to find the teacher and talk to her, or email her if I couldn't find her that day. This was very ridiculous! I explained that I even have got a Letter of Completion, but how come they still got problem with my Transcript. I would not be given one if there was a problem. And I was wondering what these people are working for actually. It was not my job to chase the teacher! I came there to get my problem fixed, but all they did was asking me to sort it out by myself! They did not even make an effort to see if the teacher was there that day or not. They just do not do internal communication. I was not happy at all because obviously there was something missing in these people's job description. But because they insisted that they could not do anything (they spoke to me with raised voice, so I was kind of yelling back to them, sorry I didn't mean to), I didn't have any choice but to go find the teacher. Luckily the teacher was teaching that day and she was very helpful. She told me that she had really fixed this problem out and she did not know what happened. She was willing to do it over again realising that this was very important to me (It was! My class in uni would start on Monday and that day was Friday, btw). Some other teachers helped me out, too, because they realised there would be some other problems if I did everything by myself because I was only a student. To make a long story short, finally I got my Transcript. Then I left that school and do not have any intention to go back. Goodbye!
I went to the university to process my enrollment. Firstly, I told the Student Centre people that I needed to make a timetable to attend class on Monday and I needed a student card, too. They said that I needed to go enroll myself online because I missed the orientation that week, which was not because of my fault. After I get myself enrolled then they can give me the student card. The people there suggested me to go to the Faculty to see if they could help me to enroll. There, I tried to access my account, but I found out that the system could not log me on. So the people there suggested me to go to the IT Help Desk and ask the people there to reset my password. I went there and the people there were confused because normally I needed a student card in order for them to help me. But after I explained my situation and they made some phone calls, they finally gave me a new password. The problem was not over because although I got a new password, I couldn't fully access the account. So I went back to the Help Desk and they made some other phone calls then told me to go to the International Student Service to see if they could help me. It was 13 minutes before the office closed. I came there and explained my situation to one person. She made a phone call and then she found out what my problem was. I could not fully access my account because I have just been registered that day as the result of submitting Transcript so late, which was not my fault, was it?? So anyway, I have to wait for at least 24 hours for the system to recognise me.
So, I went to uni for nothing. But what is strange is that I didn't feel annoyed at all. They "ping-pong"-ed me, they made me walk here and there in the "dark" (remember, I missed the orientation and this was my first time going there), and finally I found out that there was nothing I could do. But really, I feel fine with all of this. And why....?? Because these people in uni have great customer service skills! They are friendly, they communicate to each other, too. And the most importantly is............ they SMILE!!
Smile really manipulates mood. Not only your own mood, but also the mood of people you give the smile to. "Smile, and the world will smile back to you".
Soooo, smile, please....!! Whatever your mood is, smile really helps you to feel better =) =) =) =) =)

JumP
If I do not believe in God, I will not be here anymore today.
Sometimes I feel my condition is out of my control, and I start to think that it is so useless to live. It's just my faith that keeps me alive (read: not to try suicide). To be honest, my faith is not that strong. I have my ups and downs. When I am really down I even think, does God hate me that much? It is hard to keep believing in Him. But not to believe in Him is even harder. It requires more faith not to believe in God than to believe.
I believe in His promise, that there will be a day.....
with no more tears,
with no more pain,
with no more fears.....
So I'm hanging on here, standing strong, and being stronger.

If you want to be happy.... ACCEPT!
[ . . . . .
Hey, hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better
Just feel better about today
Oh no
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better
Might feel better if you stay
-Bridge-
Yeah, yeah
I bet you haven't heard a word I've said
Yeah, yeah
If you've had enough of all your tryin'
Just give up the state of mind you're in
-Chorus-
If you want to be somebody else
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind
Change your mind
Hey, hey
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no
Take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better
Look much better when you glow
Bridge - Chorus
Hey, hey
What ya say
We both go and seize the day
'Cause what's your hurry
What's your hurry anyway
Bridge - Chorus

"Change Your Mind" by Sister Hazel, a soundtrack from Bedazzled, one of my favorite movies =)
I love the movie not only because it is fun to watch, but also because it teaches me a lesson for life which is..... if you want to be happy, then you have to accept. I got similar e-mail from ko Ciprat long time ago about The Art of Being Well by Dr. Drauzio Varella, and one of them is the same thing... you gotta accept, dude!
He says : "They who do not accept (themselves) become envious, jealous, imitators, ultra-competitive, and destructive. Be accepted, accept that you are accepted, accept the criticisms. It is wisdom, good sense, and therapy."
accept who you are,
accept what you have,
accept your condition,
accept things that happen in your life
Well, I'm still learning, too. I was complaining a lot about my situation, then one day I gave so much advice about being happy to one of my best friends (Broto) when I realised that that advice was actually meant for me, too! Isn't that funny? =p
By the way, I got the idea to write this after having a pretty "heavy" conversation with Wendy... LOL~
Hey, hey
Did you ever think
There might be another way
To just feel better
Just feel better about today
Oh no
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better
Might feel better if you stay
-Bridge-
Yeah, yeah
I bet you haven't heard a word I've said
Yeah, yeah
If you've had enough of all your tryin'
Just give up the state of mind you're in
-Chorus-
If you want to be somebody else
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind
Change your mind
Hey, hey
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining- just for shining
Or the sea?
Oh no
Take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better
Look much better when you glow
Bridge - Chorus
Hey, hey
What ya say
We both go and seize the day
'Cause what's your hurry
What's your hurry anyway
