a latin hymn
Personent hodie
Personent hodie
Voces puerulae,
Laudantes iucunde
Qui nobis est natus,
Summo Deo datus,
Et de vir vir vir,
Et de vir vir vir,
Et de virgineo ventre procreatus.
In mundo nascitur,
Pannis involvitur,
Praesepi ponitur
Stabulo brutorum,
Recto supernorum,
Perdidit, dit, dit,
Perdidit, dit, dit,
Perdidit spolia princeps infernorum
Magi tres venerunt;
Munera offerunt;
Parvulum inquirunt,
Stellulam sequendo,
Ipsum adorando,
Aurum thus, thus, thus,
Aurum thus, thus, thus,
Aurum thus et myrrham ei offerendo
Omnes clericuli,
Pariter pueri,
Cantent ut angeli:
Advenisti mundo,
Laudes tibi fundo.
Ideo, o, o,
Ideo, o, o,
Ideo gloria in excelsis Deo!
if you don't understand the above, just know that this is a really old hymn/carol from the middle century [ this i learnt from some carol book in music essentials ]. (:

a non-shopper. REALLY.
MY LEGS ARE BREAKING. i'm so not a shopper. haha. when i went shopping with RAH, we got her a pair of corduroy pants for 25 bucks [ i think it's a good deal! (: ] and i drank 2 packets of ribena peach. haha. that's 3 bucks man. but i conclude that it's a nice drink if and only if you drink one packet. haha. 2 is bordering on excessive. (: didn't buy anything for myself.
then went home and i was home for barely 5 minutes to pee and catch my breath when i was out of the door again, this time with my bro and tim for dinner. met my mum and we went to the crazy robinson's sale where only bought a pair of cufflinks for my bro and six bras. SIX BRAS! haha. oh man. it's really CRAZY. (:
anyhows. i can't shop for nuts la. half a day and my ankle's giving way soon. ):

a few words.. on the nz trip
firstly, my greatest apologies to the people who unknowingly messaged me when i was in auckland [ please don't kill me when you find your bill containing 50cents/sms. =l ] i had not a clue that i was going to auckland until 3 days prior to my departure. it was kinda like a last minute thing. okay it WAS a last minute thing. so i couldn't possibly tell everyone. well, at least i posted it on my blog, so if you're conscientious enough, you would have known. (: and if you're in my church, lucky you! cos my brother just had to broadcast it to just about EVERYONE after service. THANKS KOR.
to say i had lotsa fun would be an understatement. the thing is.. i had LOADS and LOADS of fun, though the paying up part wasn't that exciting at all [ the prices of entrance fees and rides are killing! ] horse riding was sheer fun, now i'm starting to wonder why i passed up that wonderful chance when i was 6 in australia. HMMM. anyways, i love my horsie chester. he's such a beautiful horse. (: stayed in my aunt's, had great meals all the time. (: anyhow, i didn't buy much stuff, cos the entrance fees halved my shopping money, and my mum's shopping list halved it further, leaving me with just about.. 150 bucks? WHAT CAN YOU BUY WITH THAT!!! considering i spent 40 bucks on an all blacks ball, you can imagine just about how much stuff i got. =l
very sorry to all that didn't get anything from me. well, if you got chocs, lucky you! at least you got something. haha.
okay. i gotta go clean up the house now so that i can go shopping with RAH. (:

presents?
in case you're wondering what to get me for gifts.. let me give you a hand.
1. a nice fat lanyard for my ipod.
2. NO MORE STUFF TOYS. i'm more of a practical person. unless it's a display item that i'd really like.. like handbells.. i love the crystal bell that daniel got me from prague.. (:
3. i'll add to the list soon. (: can't think of anymore.
i know this list is a little late.. but then again, you don't really need a day to shower a friend with gifts right? (:

shell-shocked.
okay. i guess lotsa people will be shocked by my sudden decision. mmm. how shall i put it.. there were mainly two reasons why i wanted to do this..
what chris said really shook me. i guess it's really true that it's pointless harbouring a grudge when you can just put it behind you and be a happier person altogether. perhaps you could say his encouragement of sorts made me decide so.
second is what happened just outside the church. yeah. i nearly got knocked down by someone who just drove out from the church. well, it made me realise that we shouldn't bear grudges, especially petty ones, because life is just too short for that. as for the driver of that car [unfortunately he's from my church and he's just so unapologetic. it's life and death! oh wells. ], i'm just plain disappointed cos i've always thought so well of him. but this incident really shows. and he didn't bother apologising at lunch even though many people told him he should have.
yeah. it's 2 different issues all together, gillian and this guy, ben. i guess gillian IS a nice person, but not someone you'd wanna be in the bad books of. (:

that's it.
okay. i've decided enough is enough. not gonna be mean to *ahem* anymore. it takes two hands to clap and i don't want to be the hand that is holding back. jely.. you've gotta help me be nice to her alright. i really wanna mend this really broken relationship. hmmm. i guess i'll start by.. adding her to my msn and trying to REALLY talk to her. yeah. starting from scratch. (:

heart-broken
dear max,
she tells me that you're a serial flirt. is that true?
she tells me that you're a selfish pig. is that true?
she tells me that you're an idiot. is that true?
she tells me that you say things to get a reaction. is that true?
she tells me that you need to grow up. is that true?
she tells me that you're not the one for me. is that true?
she tells me that you've got a huge ego to boot. is that true?
she tells me that you're insensitive in what you say. is that true?
oh how i wish it weren't max, i really do.

funny song!
Hair - The Idea Of North
I went out one windy day
The sky was dark the clouds were gray
A gust of wind caught my toupe
And it blew by you
I bought a rug and tried to hide
The lack of hair that was my pride
And all at once i thought i'd died
when it flew by you
I'm going back out there
To find my hair
That blew by you
It was a black toupe
with just a touch of gray
That blew by you
I'll have no peace of mind
Without that piece of mine
My hair looks like
A baby's behind
I'm going back out there
To find my hair
That blew by you
His hair wasn't this bad!
I'll have no peace of mind
Without that piece of mine
My hair looks like
A baby's behind
I'm going back out there
To find my hair
That blew by you
Chachacha!
