Looking Busy, Doing Nothing, or Starlight

Last night I was privileged enough to attend the Chief Minister of Sabah's, that is, Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Musa bin Haji Aman, birthday party. It was at his private residence and it went on well in to the night.

This blogpost is really going to be useless, because I'm not allowed to post any pictures about it, or say anything much about the party, but it was an interesting experience. I wasn't invited, of course, but I was asked by my mother to help out (my mum was organising the event). So apart from taking photographs here and there, I sat at the kelefe table far away from the rest of the tables with the other kelefe people (my mum's workers, the band, the sound and light guys) to eat and drink.

The food was gooood. Catered from Hyatt, it was a very good, free meal for me, heheh. Had like tons of sushi.

I really didn't do much there, but it was interesting to see what our CM is like in private. He's a very friendly man, he is.

A side note is that most people there was a Datuk, so if you shouted "Datuk!" probably half of the guests would turn around to look at you shout. Haha.

All in all, I think it went pretty well. So Happy Birthday, Datuk Seri, may you keep Sabah in working class conditions.

Did I mention it rained yesterday? Well it did, and guess who played in the rain?

All of our Chief Ministers have Wikipedia pages 0.0

It's Coming, Whatya Want From Me

Can you see the clouds? Can you feel the chill? The rain's coming. And if it doesn't, then we'll just have to make do, but no thinking like that. Believe it's coming.

It's March already, and next week it's going to be April. More than a quarter way through there, means that time is ticking ticking ticking away. It's already been 17 years of my life, and here we all stand in 2010.

In 1993 I was born.

In 1994 I learned to read.

In 1995 I went to school.

I have no idea what happened in 1996.

In 1997 I went to London (I think, crap I can't remember).

In 1998 I almost graduated from Kindergarten, but I didn't.

In 1999 I actually did graduate.

In the beginning of the 2nd Millenium, I started public school.

In 2001 I went to Australia for the first time.

2002 was the most carefree year of my entire life. There was no stress, no worries, just plenty of fun, my family still intact.

2003 was when I started to grow up. Remember my mother caned me for getting bad results.

2004 was the year our choral speaking team went all the way to Penang. Good times. Not so good for my household though.

In 2005 we had UPSR. "WOAH", we thought. How insignificant, eh?

In 2006 took my first step as a Secondary schooler.

2007 was a roller coaster of emotions, and dissapointments, and generally not feeling very happy, but there were enough good moments to cover for that.

2008 was the best and worst year of my life.

In 2009, I added the most number of Facebook friends ever, bar none. Bittersweet year.

What else do you want, 2010? You want my sanity too? Come get some! You've still got

365-31-28-22=264 more days left to ruin it. I'm determined to survive this year, eventhough, as I predicted, it would suck.

Anyone up for paintball?

The Declaration, or Dare You To Move

Last night we didn't have worship practice, but Josh Ronald asked me to go so we could work on our previous song (PRESS ON!! PRESS ON!!) a bit and to write a new one. Since I had a gist of a song in my head already, I was all for it.

So we went and fiddled with Press On, then we came up with what may well be the BEST SONG EVARR!

The Declaration

Music and Words by:Joshua Ronald, Nigel Chee and Joshua Siaw

This song is our act of declaration for the greatest and most worthy of causes.

Intro

A E B C#m x2

Verse

E F#m A

The mighty things you’ve done I know by heart, I know by heart

E F#m A

Though I may not understand the things you do for me

C#m B A

Still your promises remain

C#m B A B

Promises that help me let the whole world see, that

Chorus

A B G#m C#m

This is our declaration, whoa whoa

A B G#m C#m

Sing out your proclamations, whoa

A E B C#m

That Jesus lives in me, and now I’m gonna let the whole world know

A B

That Jesus lives

Inside of me

Bridge

A E

Now I’ll run with wild abandon

B C#m

‘Cos the truth has set me free

A E B

Christ in me the hope of Glory

A/C# E/B

I’m gonna finish this race

B/D# C#m

With the strength that he gives

A/C# E/B

I’m gonna shout out ‘Jesus lives!’

B/D# C#m

And He saves, He saves

BEST PART EVER

A E B C#m

WHoaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooo whoaaaaaa oooooooo who ah oh ah ohhhhhh

WOOT BEST SONG EVARRRR! Glory to God! (not part of the song)

The actual only reason I posted this is so that if I forget I can always use my iPhone to come back online and check the lyrics and chords. The Woah melody is still stuck in my head.

Did I mention Revo came? Must say that there should always be two nights to a Rally: The first is the 'Rally', where people actually come to know about it. The second night is the 'Harvest', and we know what happens there. We know that the Revo here was supposed to end with a bang, but somehow the atmosphere wasn't right. Next time, Revo team, we're waiting. But we don't need them to be energised. Hey! Be the change! Write amazing songs like me XD I'm joking of course.

But really. This is how I know to make a change; it may not be as impac-ful as other revolutionaries, but hey, it's a change.

What are you going to change?

Release, or Let It Happen

I have finally got over her, after what seems like almost 5 months of struggle. It's not painful for me anymore. Now I'm free, and it looks like you're the one having a stressful life now. I can't help, because to you, I'm not the person I once was.

How did it happen? I woke up and realised it. Now on to people who actually want to talk to me.

I've reached that stage. Are we all happy now?

It's Your Day/100, or Stella

This weekend, or rather, this whole week has taken it's toll on me.

Quick recap mode!

Monday: Oh. Nothing actually

Tuesday: After school, went lunch with ma dad, then went to All Saints to go say hi and help the Debate team out, who by the way won! Congratulations! Quad smth smth smth. Forgot the school motto lol. Then again, who remembers it right.

Wednesday; OKAY. It starts here. Lee Clan took me out for dinner then went to worship prac, where I'm haunted by "Press On" wherever I go.

Thursday: Straight after school, picked up by my driving instructor, had two hours of driving lessons, then drove all the way back home from ADC. Freaking scary. The car died twice ><

After that, Kristal took me out to go watch the sun set, then dinner at Upperstar KK.

Friday: Went to the Marcus Clan's house to celebrate Joshwel's bday. Stayed there for like half the day.

Saturday: Got up at like 6 smth, went to Kota Marudu with mum, Bossman aka Uncle Richard, and Ps. Kee Chuan in the car. Kota Marudu was awesome, saw a lot of our stuff there (we donated a lot of things to the hostel, so we saw like 4 paintings there, two tables, and our mattress, along with alot of our clothes). Came down afternoon, then rested then went to youth, then went home late, and stayed up pretty late too.

Sunday: Got up early again, went to church early cos singing in choir. Played Majesty brass cos Willie didn't show, then went eat lunch with youth, said goodbye to Kristal, then went for a DotA session with the guys, pretty fun, then went home, and now at the com typing this.

Really tiring week. And this post marks the 100th post of this dying blog. To celebrate this occasion, I think I'll go to sleep.

Happy Birthday Crab.
