This is the third milkshake I've made in two days. I want to get good at it. Right now I'm listening to Lilith, by George MacDonald. It's verry interesting.
I haven't written in a while because of many things. I've been preocupied and attentive to a slightly different blog I'm afraid...Here's the link if you have any desire to read it.

This seems to be my more real life, what's going through my head, blog. The other one has a lot of imagination to fuel it.

Recent Events :) Star Trek!!
Man...I'm sorry I haven't written in SOOO long.. It's been a long while and I haven't felt like writting at all..
I mean come one what's wrong with me?? I've had some really great days I should have recorded and yet I didn't! I mean since I last wrote I've spent a ton of time with Apryl, I had my birthday, Mother's Day passed. I've been to Aquaria(how do you spell it?) with Jey/R2D2 and his Youth Group :). hahah!
Ooo you know what we did last weekend when I was over at Apryl's? Since your silent guessing would be pointless I'll just tell you hahah! We went to see Star Trek!! Yippee!! I wasn't a trekkie but I'm definitely on my way to becoming one hahaha :D. Greaaat movive all except one...ahem...dirty scene =.= have to go and ruin a perfectly good movie don't they?
If you haven't seen it yet then go and watch it :D. Since I spent that night at Apryl's house we stayed up really late (or shall I say not so early? hehe..) and talked for a couple hours. We figured out that it's not Kirk who's the main character of the movie...it's, for many reasons, Spock!
Yep, he's a lot in this one and I think he's a much cooler character than Kirk the ladies man xP. He's so...logical..no hahahah kidding, just sounds like the Vulcan thing to say haha. As for the rest of the movie I can't tell you anything cuz that just might ruin it for you! I think I'd probably give this one a 8 1/2 out of 10 :).
Well, let me now tell you a bit more about my time with Apryl. We went to the movie on Thursday (Opening Night!! haha Last time I did that was for Star Wars III) and got donuts at Big Apple afterwards :D (Note to self and anyone interested: never get donuts on a date =] haha!). After washing off the chocolate that got all over our hands and mouths, we left the Mines (that's where we were) and went to the apartment.
For some reason we decided we hadn't had enough TV yet and we settled down to finish watching an episode of American Idol haha :D. Uncle Aiman went to bed and we quietly took our stuff over to the other apartment that Apryl's family use and decided to be very spontaneous and crazy. Ah, the fun of being able to do nothing important and stay up super late because you know you can sleep in the next day. It's like eating dessert. Having it every once in a while is really tasty but to much of it is both sickening and makes you fat and sluggish XD.
We sank into the black couch and decided to watch a Bollywood movie. By now the time would probably have been somewhere around 11 PM. Yeah, I know what you're thinking. Bollywood?? Those shows last for around 3 hours don't they? Well, they do. We were just going to watch it until the intermission came. The only problem is that it never came. We were about 3/4ths of the way through when we figured that out and we just finished the movie.
If you do the math you probably realized what time it was by then. We still hadn't had enough for one night. We got all ready for bed and then talked for another couple hours before we turned out the lights and talked ourselves to sleep. *Sigh* What a day :). We slept in until 2 the next day (can't exactly say morning can I?) and I got up with a sense of extreme vacation. I haven't slept in that late for a very long time and it felt gooood.
I was thinking that only people who spend their time as if they're always half on vacation can have such a good time doing nothing more memorable then simple being together and building close friendships. At least it seemed that way for me in the past. Perhaps only extremes can get this way. Extremely worked out and stressed or Extremely lazy. Ok wait..I'm not calling my friend lazy! She's not. I am :) hehe..
Anywho..we watched the end of Braveheart that day and then they drove me home :). I'd better get going to do school now..hope you liked some of what I had to say..sorry I've been out of the knack a little and need some brushing up on my English and writing skills...
Adios!
Your's (The Lord's) )Truly!(.

Interesting day.. and Lead Me
This is the first picture I've uploaded to my blog yay!!! haha celebrate! No more drab posts! BTW this is a picture of Saray and myself haha. First off I'd like to say two things.
I'm super sorry for not writing for so long! I have been very busy and just haven't gotten around to it. Secondly this is going to be a short post because I need to get to bed so I can start a new day tomorrow. (I'm on a bit of a time limit so if i cut off it means I need to go to bed)
Today I was someone I am not. In other words I acted not to say out of my character because it came perfectly naturally, but not quite the way I want to be. Again to rephrase that, I did not accomplish everything I would have liked to in the day and I go to bed with a sense of unfinished work, not fully proper way of being (ok that doesn't make sense but this is random stream of thing). I want many things I didn't get and feel like I lost something.
Ok I've discovered several things today. One of them is we sometimes have hidden talents. Another one is that when you write something there is a lot of context that is left only to the mind of the writer. But let me tell you about the first one. My friend from Argentina who is currently living in Indonesia came to stay at our house. Today I was telling her about how I want to be a writer, and suddenly she said,
"Oh Amy, write a song! I have the chords for a song so let's write one."
I was very reluctant and kept saying, "No, I can't write that! I'm no good at it."
Which is still quite true haha. I had no idea how to do it, and didn't think I could get anything to sound right. But she started playing the chords softly and I just wrote what came to mind. Then, Miracle of miracles! She put a tune to my random words and made them sound like a song! I was amazed! I think she's definitely got a gift for this.
So she started singing through it and got all excited about it. By now I was getting quite excited myself. Do you know how if feels to have words that you just splatter across a page turn into a tuneful melody?? Well, I did and it felt pretttttyyy goood hehe.
Anyway we worked on it for several hours and it is still very far from perfect but I hope to video record the song and post it up on Facebook. I'll put a link up if we do. For now I'll just put the half of it, which is the words. Honestly, though, it sounds a lot better as music.
There is no poetical meter to it but with a tune it's actually a song! I'm still quite amazed. Also, a bit of explanation about the song. The meaning behind it, although only figured out halfway through the writing goes along these lines. It is a love song to God speaking a little about how we want to live for him. A little bit of a story (not from our own personal experience as many songs are. But a lot of songwriters tell stories not their own. Ok I'm not putting myself in that category! noo, very far from it.) about searching for the One, or love and not finding it.
So it could double as a love song but it doesn't really..anyway. The part about the desert is our struggles and fight to mature in our relationship with God until we can find that place of rest with him, kinda a place impossible to reach so I guess it could be heaven. But really it's a place where we are deeply in love with God and on the right path, doing His will. Well..actually just see what you get out of the song yourself la..I'll leave it up to God to show you what he wants from it. Only other one I know is that the place across the ocean is like the Mission field ;).
Without further Ado, Lead Me by Saray and Amy
Intro?/Verse 1:
I know the truth
And I know I’ll find you someday
and here I am standin’
findin’ truth where I was looking
for so long
And I know you’ll find me
and take me by surprise
Then you’ll come right in
and take me by my hand
Chorus 1:
Lead me through the desert
to that other side
where dreams come true
where dreams come true
In that oasis
In that beautiful home
where I live for you
I live for you oh Lord
where I live for you
I live for you alone
Bridge:
As I keep running away
You keep chasing me
and I can’t hide from your loving eyes
cuz I was meant for such a time
for such a place as this
Lead me through the desert
to that other side
where dreams come true
where dreams come true
In that oasis
In that beautiful home
where I live for you
I live for you oh Lord
where I live for you
I live for you alone
Verse 2:
I’ve been searching through the years
but never really seeing you at all
yet you stood by my side
whispering in my ear
those sweet assurances
you are my strength
Chorus 2:
Lead me across the ocean
to that other place
where dreams come true
where dreams come true
that new land
That fresh sweet home
Where I live for you
I live for you oh Lord
where I live for you
I live for you alone
Strange verse thing..:
I know the truth
And I know you’ve found me
And here I am Standin
Knowing that you love me
have loved me for so long
As I keep running away
You keep chasing me
and I can’t hide from your loving eyes
cuz I was meant for such a time
for such a place as this
Lead me through the desert across the ocean
to that other side that other place
where dreams come true
where dreams come true
Where I live for you
I live for you oh Lord
where I live for you
I live for you alone for you alone
End Chorus thing?:
Lead me through the desert
to that other side
Lead me across the ocean
to that other place
Where dreams come true
Where dreams come true
Where I live for you
(Yes I know the Chorus repeats but oh well..I'll fix it to be more like a song thing later..)
I'll say it now, very unprofessional I know..but hey, it's our first song and we thought of it today.
haha it's alreadly past the time I was going to finish so, Goodnight!
Adios!
Your's (The Lord's) )Truly!(.

Random Recentness
Oh bother. Yeah it's been a while since I've posted. I guess I just haven't been feeling like it lately...I really need to though. Good place to journal stuff that would be nice to know in the future.
Anyway I'm not in the mood to write much. I'm going up to Cameron to be in a prayer conference. Yeah. I'll help leading and at it's going to be a very interesting time to say the least...
Haha..It will also be a nice place to get to see people I haven't seen in a while.
ARG. By the way, there have been two songs stuck in my head, one in paticular, Hot 'n' Cold by Katy Perry. Ok not sure If I spelled the title right but you get the point. That song is soo catchy and ANNOYING. :) Anyway the other one's not so bad the main lyrics are:
I just wanna be ok, be ok, be ok,
I just wanna be ok today.
Hahah. Yeah VERY catch tune. This day, sunday is the end of a very unproductive week that can go by unnoticed by the world for it's complete and total uselesness. Haha :). I just was still dealing with stuff. Plus I'm a people person and I focus my attention on Saturday and Sunday, but lately I've been ending Sunday on a low which makes me sad. But, BUT, I'm not going to let this week pass unmarked by any note worth accomplishments! NO indeed. I have plans...haha I hope I keep them!
I've had a lot of questions lately. Actually mainly today. They have mostly to do with my current friendships and how they're going. Perhaps once I get a few answers I'll post up some of my questions, but for now I'll leave you be.
Oh yes, the only two things that are note worthy happened yesterday. I went to No Apologies, woohoo :D. It was great! and I had skit practice. Everyone is doing really well in the skit! I just honestly hope I'm not really getting on anyone's nerves for being rather bossy. I get a little annoyed with myself afterwards, but I'm trying to learn! I want to know what really bugs people! Then I want to try not to do it :D!
I'll get a move on now. I'm going to do some reading before I go to bed. I need to pull myself out of this lull! and I WILL >.<

Wild Randomness
Ok right now I feel very immature and silly. As well as having felt very emo all day. I went to the doctor and he took off my itch cast for a bit and I got to see how ugly it had turned..yippee :S.
Anyway I've lost a lot of muscle in my knee and I need to do a bunch of exercising of those particular muscles.
Now I just wrote a very long and crazy poem sort of thing...but it isn't very poetic. Anyway I'm not dedicating it to anyone. It's just me being...well, me.
Please don't get the wrong idea...whoever will be reading this. It's a very foolish poem and if it sounds at all serious or like I've been heart broken or something blah blah blah. It's not. I'm fine, I'm good, everything is in God's hands, I'm happy and hopefully this will be the end.
I know who you are
But do you know me
No, you will never know me
That really, is the way things should be
Do I know you
Really do I
No, I will never know
But isn't that the way life goes?
Who am I to say I know
I shouldn't be saying so
I read and see what you have said
but that's not getting in your head
I will now forget
what else can I do
I should not be saying
all that I have said before
If I can't forget you
well, that's what I should do
I don't know what it takes
to change a heart that always breaks
Can't I fight with all i have
If it takes everything
I can always start again
My heart has first been filled
and now its first been spilled
You'll never know and that's ok
No I need just to turn and pray
every day will now be mine
and i will try and walk
farther from this hopeless dock
looking to the future's full horizon
I know my heart will wizen
When the time is right
I will reach to pick that fruit
that now is still not ripe
indeed, I should wait a while
until the day that God ordains
for me to meet my heart's one love
When my heart unites with his
I will thank God for you
and all you've taught me though
you'll really never know
I've thought of you far to often
and with each memory your image softens
I am young
and I am weak
but God, my father, is who I seek
You have your friends
I have mine
we don't mix and that's fine
If I remember you
I know I shouldn't
It's hard to forget
one like you were
this is silly
foolish mind
far more the fool
is my heart
I know I sound like silly sap
but this is where I should wrap
up all that I have said and thought
and think no more of you, my friend
this should really be the end
All I hope is one last thing
here goes my last fling
can we be friends?
just and only that?
Oh I'm silly
nevermind
you don't know
that it's you I mean
Anyway...I guess I thought I should put some kind of after disclaimer thing. The middle part is a bit weird...Anyway, this is the first time I've posted something relative to poem. Anywhere. This isn't even really a poem. It's just jerky thoughts without proper sentence structure. This isn't my best work. I'm not really all this emo.
I should be off to bed now so Good night!

Church is my Life...
Here I am and it is Sunday the 11th of January. It is 1:49 and I am settled in my messy room to write on you for a while. Once I have this going well I think I'll start telling people about it to help me keep going.
I just got back from CentrePoint eating at Pizza Uno with my mom. Yum, we always get the same thing and it is quite good :D. But really, I didn't start blogging to talk about what I eat...at least that isn't my main goal. Anyway, now the highlight of my week is over, *sigh*. I'll be starting up at school again tomorrow and hopefully I'll get an entire Science test done! If I don't I'm going to be in trouble really soon...
My goal is still to try and finish school in April, but it might have to be changed because life will go on and I might need to be getting money for a few months in between. I don't know yet whether or not we are going back to the US in March. It will be sad though. Youth is now the highlight of my week, I look forward to it starting now! hehe...Sunday and I'm already looking forward to Saturday. '"=.=
You know the title of this post? Seriously..it's true. Pretty much my only social life happens with people from SSMC or joint church gatherings. I'm definitely not saying that it's bad.
It's great to have wonderful Christian friends!! I just need somewhere to interact with non-Christians so I will have some friends to chatter with about the importance of life...Ok that didn't make sense. If you're wondering why I couldn't chatter with my Christian friends about important thing and the importance of life..I do!! Anyway, I just need some more places to hang out with people.
I'll tell you about yesterday in my next post but for right now I'll just keep rambling on about today.
I was awakened this morning by my dad calling up the stairs to ask if I was ready to go to church or not. That definitely woke me up. I had totally forgot to set an alarm or anything! Thankfully it was only 8:30 and I told him I was getting a ride with Shing Yi and her family so I didn't have to get ready quite so quickly.
Church was good. Pastor Phua preached today and that was good. It was great to sit with some of my friends again. I really would love to be able to find ways of getting together a group of people to do fun stuff.
Anyway I had a great time and I got the birthday present off to Sarah so I hope Egbert gets a chance to give it to her. I really want to wrap up this post and try a few things with my blog so bye bye!
