The Spirit of Things

I went to Albert & Bintang's church today, Audacious Church. The sermon was excellent. It is something that I've heard a couple of times, but so often forget. The reason we obey is not in hope to get into heaven. Heaven is already given to us, by Jesus' sacrifice. And that is why we obey. We obey because we love Him, not because we HAVE to obey. We obey because we want to please him. Not so we can earn freedom. Freedom is already given to us. He is a BIG God. He doesn't need a huge checklist of what we do and what we do not do. He sees our heart. The priest this morning gave one example that I thought so hilarious yet so true. He and his friends were fasting. And some of his friends were arguing over whether they can drink tea during fasting. And he reaction was, "Who cares? Don't get so caught up in details, in breaking down things. It's the spirit of things that is important." This brings me to my previous post. For some reason, I felt guilty and...

So I Just Got Home From A Pub

*reader discretion is advised* It's called the Footage at Oxford. The place is cool. It's big, wasn't overcrowded, the music was good, there were game machines, pool tables, lots of tables and stools for people to have drinks while having conversations, and so on. So me and my friend, Amaka, were having nice chat (read: gossiping) when we notice some "interesting" people. After a couple of hours of observation, I'm compelled to write about it now. Because, boy, I saw some unique characters! These characters drew my attention because I don't see many of them, especially back home. According to Amaka, these characters are typical and you can always spot them in most pubs, most clubs. Character #1: Need-some Gal/Dude (wingman is optional) I know the term wingman from the TV series How I Met Your Mother. It's basically a dude (or a gal) who help his/her friend to get laid. So earlier this evening, I saw this girl whom wore a bright pink neon bracelet. She ...

Jadi kemarin itu kak @nunuihsan replied tweetku bilang "mending denger sewandu aja cyin". But no one has. So I did. I honestly don't have any problems with wandus. Waktu saya coba ubah2 liriknya, jadi begini hasilnya. Versi laladanilela.

Engine, Coal, and Wave Power Generator.

Those three were the topics of two big assignments I've had here. It's major because: 1) the engine business analysis worth 50% of the course grade while Coal and Wave Power Generator worth 100%; 2) both required HUGE amount of research and group working. Well, the topics are interesting to some extent. However, being preoccupied for 5 weeks about engine can make you feel very dull. *now this IS a short post*

Old TV Shows

Image
As a teenager, when I weren't reading Hercule Poirot series (or comics, yayaya), I spent a lot of time in front of TV. Mainly Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. When my friends flirting with boys, I watched reruns on indovison. Glamorous life, I know. These are some shows I loved the most. 1. ART ATTACK! It a mind blowing show, I'm telling you! So this guy, Neil Buchanan, made a lot of artsy thing on TV. He's very creative. I remember he would show us somethings that seemed easy to do. And if we actually tried it, we could actually (sort of) made it! My favorite part was the big art attack. So the idea is using some random object to make a very big picture, but you need to see the object from above or afar in order to really "see it". I'm so good at explaining things, am I not? HUHUHU. Here, see for yourselves. SO COOL, RIGHT?? 2. That's So Raven It's about a girl who can foresee the future and then get into crazy situations. 3. The Amanda Show This is ac...

British Tea Time

Image
I think I read it in Agatha Christie's novel. British people like to have afternoon tea because they have dinner at rather late at night, quite long after lunch. Logically, they'd be rather hungry at noon. Thus began the afternoon tea tradition. *After a quick glimpse on wikipedia, that is indeed the case. The afternoon tea tradition started around 1840s. Me and my friends sometimes like to go to nice tea places to have tea and cakes. It's part of the experience you know. And there are lots of delicious cakes offered, we are not going to resist it! Em... Let me just point of here that I did NOT single-handedly ate all these cakes. Some are what my friends had, I just took the pictures... *usaha pencitraan* Classic tea time snack: scones Druckers's apple pie, cheesecake, and hot choco with marshmallow Patisserie Valarie: Cheesecake You can't say you've lived in UK until you had carrot cakes!! And it tastes.....hmm...not exactly my taste... Blimey, it tastes...
