Angel Mogie meeting her advisor, Dr. Hicks, regarding her senior comps:
Dr. Hicks: "you know stressing out won't help, right?"
me: "yes.."
Dr. Hicks: "As your advisor, I ask you to have enough sleep this weekend. Promise me you are going to do that?
"me: "errrr.. I am not sure about that.."
Dr. Hicks: "Well, promise me you will eat, get enough food?"
me: "Oh yea! I can definitely do that!"
lesson learned: the more the schoolwork, the more the chance I am going to burst from over eating!

aku
lelah
dari dalam sampai luar juga, penat
entah kenapa terus gundah
ingin ku percaya namun terasa berat
kalau Kau utus aku tuk mulai semua
bukan kah harusnya berakhir bahagia?
kusadar, tak pernah Kau janji tiada badai
namun Kau pasti ada, aku tak kan lunglai
terpaku
kadang ku coba dekati jiwa senduku
menangis di tengah-tengah berkat
bertanya adakah insanku kuat
dia yang kucinta juga
sebentar lagi kan pergi ke sana
cintanya yang membara
akankah meguap bagai embun senja yang tak pernah ada?
aku yang sendiri, aku yang ratapi diri
aku yang diberkati, aku yang lelah dan sedih
aku yang kering, aku yang hendak berpaling
aku yang menanti, adakah jawaban dari risalah hati
mohon jangan kau dekati
aku cuma butuh sendiri

*snob*
We had an argument yesterday. It hurt quite so much. And the worse part of it, we had the argument at someone's house. Not that we yelled at each other in front of other people though. But, I am pretty sure our angry voices were loud enough to be heared by those peeps in the common room playing Street Fighters. Luckily, there weren't that many people and those pals of ours were not the "bibir ember" or "kepo" ones.
Both of us were upset. I never heared him that angry. Well, probably I had, once. But it's been a while ago. Yet he hardly ever raised his voice like that when we argued, at least never in front of me. Most of our "bad" arguments happened through phone. And we've usually calmed down when we met each other. But last night was just, ugh.. I am still iritated, I cannot lie. I know I am not supposed to, but I am still holding grudge towards "si dekil", the ultimate source and cause of our dispute.
I am leading the praise and worship at church this coming Sunday. Having to be so angry like this, make me feel terrible and guilty. I am not supposed to serve the Lord in such condition. I beg for your forgiveness, Lord Jesus :'(

Early birthday gift?
It's November already.. November the 2nd, 28 days before I turn 22. Scarrryyyy.. I am so old!! :P
By the way, yesterday I was shocked. I found tons of red dots all over my body. And the worst art of it, it is terribly ITCHY! Affraid that I might have picked some chicken pox virus in Purdue last weekend, I decided to see the doctor at Kenyon Health Center earlier this morning. They couldn't tell if this is a kind or rash or some kind of alergies or the mighty chicken pox thus they took a sample of "me" and sent it to the lab. I should know within 2-3 days. Just FYI, they poked my red dots for sampling and it wasn't fun at all! -_-"
Hopefully it's not chicken pox. Praying..
