i just have to say, i love my new lens. bokeh me up.

forgive.

i am completely addicted to forgiven durden's musical album razia's shadow. so many lyrics that i want to put as my msn pm. love it.

Place your hand on mine.
Untie your mind.


His two purest talents were Ahrima and Nidria, two destined hearts,
Bound by the same idea; the unrelenting constancy of love and hope

She averted his passion and eased his blood.
And so he confessed it to her, he had fallen in love.

Everything seems to fade when I see her face.
The sky and trees all blur everytime I look at her!
Nobody understood me till her eyes fixed upon me.
My puzzle life's complete, now that I've found the missing piece!

You're not the only one who thinks they're falling in love.
You must be patient.
They will realize what I see inside.

Could this be the day I’ve waited for
When all my hard work doesn’t go ignored?

It hurts so bad,
with a knife in your back.

A romance seeker. The streets frowned, but deep down he screamed out.
He knew there was accuracy in the antiquated legacy.
Legitimacy to the famed sea. A quiet certainty to his fated fantasies.

It seems to me like every star agreed to meet
Right over our heads tonight to fix there bright.

proverbs 31




A good woman is hard to find,
and worth far more than diamonds.
Her husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it.
Never spiteful, she treats him generously
all her life long.

She's up before dawn, preparing breakfast
for her family and organizing her day.
She looks over a field and buys it,
then, with money she's put aside, plants a garden.
First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
She senses the worth of her work,
is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.

She keeps an eye on everyone in her household,
and keeps them all busy and productive.
Her children respect and bless her;
her husband joins in with words of praise:
"Many women have done wonderful things,
but you've outclassed them all!"

Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.
The woman to be admired and praised
is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.

- the message



you are all these things and more
i only hope that i can be like that one day
for my own family :)

happy birthday mummy :)

lets add that to the list too. mnemonic. mnemonic. mnemonic. m - nemo - nic = a common face killing nemo with a weapon shaped as a 'm'.

bolds and italics.



A drop in the ocean // A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most
'Cause you are my heaven.

I dont wanna waste the weekend
If you dont love me, pretend a few more hours, then its time to go
As my train rolls down the east coast I wonder how you keep warm

Its too late to cry
To broken to move on And still i cant let you be
Most nights i hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me

Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
But a grace of God
I do not rest at all

In new England as the leaves change
The last excuse I'll claim, I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
And still i cant let you be
Most nights i hardly sleep
Dont take what you dont need from me

Heaven doesnt seem far away anymore no no
Heaven doesnt seem far away

A drop in the ocean A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as i stand in the desert
But i'm holding you closer than most, Cause you are my heaven.
---

this song has been on repeat all night.
part of me wants to know the truth
but the rest of me wants to keep pretending
that heaven is just that much closer.

13th august.


20th august.


so, i got a webcam.
please feel free to serenade me :)

i guess it's up to me to find a way to get to you
and there's just one last thing that i have to say
as we reflect on the mess of all of this i've made
it was cowardice that made me push you away
i was so afraid because you were so much better than me.

because we're the best.
and deserve it :)

i love you.. a lot ♥

klia

Hello lovers,

I'm posting from KLIA while waiting for our flight in like another 2.5 hours.. over eager much? Nothing really to report though, just thought it would be cool to update from ~overseas~ because Malaysia is so exotic and all. Looking forward to getting back, should reach by 9amish~ and considering whether or not to attend my 12-2 lecture or just go straight to my 4pm prac. D:

Anyone want to stalk me in my 2 hour break? :D

Okay off to check facebook nao. It's kinda intimidating cause there's people waiting for me at the kiosk. Might come on later as to not look like I'm hogging it lol.

hot chocolate.

i love my impact kiddies. tonight was really good. ryre is our new hangout :) i love my girls! tiffany, zoe, kayla, nicole and janey ♥ i think we're really cool. i love that we can just talk and be vunerable and pray in random public places. i love God. He's cool. i love what He's doing in impact, the atmosphere is changing. we're not just a bunch of kids that meet up and have fun, but we are there because of God, to experience something that nothing else can offer. only God. and THAT is amazing. i love. i love too.

had another d&m&waaweowuffkicw in the car and we just talked about what was on our minds and in our heads :) recently, i've felt very overwhelmed and frankly, just not good enough. good enough for a job. good enough for worship. good enough for leadership.

but something that resounded in me from what we learnt at impact tonight is that.. it really isn't about if we are good enough for man to see.. cause all God cares about is the heart. the thing is, right now, is my heart in the right place? i honestly don't know.

anyway, i think i'm just having a little angst session because i'm flying off tomorrow and because the last time i took off, my world changed. i wonder what's instore for me this time.. hopefully, it's just gai fan and some milo bing! and hugs before i leave ♥ teehee.

4.06am

so i kind of fell asleep after my last post around 2am-ish and just woke up (in a very awkward position, might i add) and found my laptop had died, and my assignment not finished. i turned it back on, and found one single green person online. he had just woken up for no reason too, at the exact same time. 4.06am.

jem says:
good morning
rahface says:

jem says:

rahface says:

jem says:

rahface says:

jem says:

rahface says:

jem says:

rahface says:

jem says:

think i'm heading back to sleep
rahface says:
what time did you wake up?
i find you a very strange man
you're asleep already, aren't you?
jem says:
i just woke up
rahface says:
nightmare?
kaya dream perhaps?
jem says:
no dreams or can't remember
ok need more sleep
night
rahface says:
goodnight
(:

i think he was sleep-talking-on-msn. what a strange man. but now he's asleep and i have another hundred words to go. i need to stop procrastinating, so i can get to sleep as well! okay i'm out .

font queen.





stolen from wongfublog

i'm 1/3 through my 400 word assignment (yes, it's only 5% but i am a procrastinator!) and on my blogsurfing journey, i am never failed by the wongfu to make me laugh. (even though they didn't actually make this..)

someone once called me a font queen, cause of my great love of fonts. CLEARLY there are many out there who also do too. this made me laugh sooo hard (but stiffled cause my household is asleep)

AEROPLANE MAILBOX OPEN MAILBOX. COMIC SANS. Poor Richard.

I laugh.

after a long week, a dose of zefron never ceases to make me smile.

so the eastern health interview!
two interviewers to one me. the questions i had practiced for, and some that i didn't quite understand but i waffled on anyways. they were both really nice, and i felt quite comfortable :) no need for a long analysis, the feeling coming out of it was overall a good one, which means i'm smiling for now :)

one more to go, wednesday at1 10am! st v's private, which is what i've wanted for the past two years. however, since the application/interview process.. i would be glad to have any four of my choices :)

smitten.

So, the interview.

My wonderful father picked me up from uni (yes, I went in for class cause I thought we HAD to but it turned out 3 other girls didn't even turn up either and I saw them at the interview later anyway! PSHH. Glad I went in though.. nom nom lunch :) ) and we drove down to Austin together. Got there at like, 2.30ish? and the interview was at 3, so we sat in the car and talked (more like he quizzed me about my significant other and then Janey called me. Loves XD).

Quarter to, I decided I had wasted enough of my daddy's precious time (he's redoing our floors.. of which I intend to help him with tomorrow cause I am like the son he never had :P), I headed through the doors of Austin Hospital and up the lift to Level 4.There were a few kids already waiting and I struck up a conversation with this girl from Latrobe, and we together waited nervously. A few girls from the previous interview came out and wished us luck.. and told us it was easy. Didn't quite calm the nerves down that much though. Told us to think of something interesting. Couldn't. Smsed my favourite people. Felt better.

Finally, we were called in. We had name-tag stickers on the seats and she explained things about contracts and awards and all that jazz. Nodded intently. Smiled. Sat upright. We were then split into groups for case scenarios. Fun. Pt 24 hours post-op of laproscopic procedure, on PCA and found cynontic with less than 4 resp rates. What to do? Pt with abdo pain. Analgesia? I helped scribe, but was brain freeze and didn't talk much. We then had to present our cases. Public speaking, oh yes. Went okay, but was kindy fidgety and I said and whatever. Am so like teenager. And then it was done!

The one thing interesting about Austin though, was that they gave ~personal feedback~ on how you went in the interview. So after, we waiting around to get our personal feedback. SO helpful for the next few interviews. They're so nice that they want to help us be better for other hospitals! I thought so anyway.

--
My feedback:

Thought my teamwork skillz were great, cause I scribed and let others scribe and organised the group in it's discussion. However, didn't get my ideas through enough.. let others overpower me in that sense. Agreed with that. Totally brain freezed.

My CV/ Clinical appraisals/ References all good. My references gave positive remarks and said I worked hard and was good (can't remember the exact words..)

She said I would def get a graduate position somewhere (YAY BEST), and maybe even with us. Not sure what that means, but I hope it's good!

She also commented that my presentation was good, that my outfit was nice :) Then i commented that my hair was icky from running up the road before and she said that if they judged us from our hair, then she wouldn't even get a job. We laughed.

Then she had a look at my CV and said and you live local too! Then I told her that my church was just across the road. She joked that I knew where all the best coffee was. Cafe matto? Totes right? More laughter (Y)

nurseinterviewBot prediction:
68% Likely to be Sucessful.
Felt okay, but not overly confident coming out of that interview.

Bring on Friday!
