#insanitywthr

How's it going guys!

It's a wednesday -yay- I love wednesdays. Wednesdays' my free day from school. 

And so, here's the deal; because I am such an amazing friend and I love J so much, I--- I gave her my word to complete insanity with her.  Yes, you read me right. Insanity. I can shiver at the sound of that word. (Our cover Shiver is coming up btw I'll be editing le video soon. #productplacement #kthxbai) 

I started with the fit test today and here are my thoughts in one word: puke.
Like literally, all I could think of was," I am so gonna puke. Now. Omg puke. Omg now. I can't. Puke."

Oh my goodness gracious peanut butter tom and jackers, I almost fainted. Then I became one with the floor and had to take a mandatory #afterworkoutphoto so here it is:

There. See, it wasn't so bad sam, you can still form an expression. 

Yeah, okay can. I'm just relieved day 1 is over and honestly, slightly nervous at the thought of aching muscles and more Shaun T screaming at me to push harder. 

I am such a good friend.
Till then, more aching muscles and no junk food #dramatic #uglycrying.

Love, sam

Update (last quarter year resolutions)

Hey folks,

SO. Here's what I've been up to lately. I've promised myself (and all the awesome people who believe in me) to get my act together these next few months leading up to the end of 2013 :'D

One of those things I've been shoving off, is getting the music thingies done with proper effort and consistency, so I'm trying to work on that. And well, I set up a page just so it's easier if anyone wants to join me on this journey hehe. (click here to get to the coolest page ever in cat domination history / oh and here too)

So things are picking up! A friend called me up to do a christmas event in Dec and well, I'll update once I get the details. You awesome person reading this, you have to come and join in the fun when it's all firmed up yes! Yay ~

*inserts photos because too much text blinds*

thankchu mel for this shot 

thankchu J for this shot

and here's J and I pretending to sing on Mel's cue :'D

(these are a few of my favouritest people teehee)

Now, the other thing would be school -- which I admit I've been terrible at for most parts of my life. Can I just add in that as I type, I'm speaking to one of my best-est gifts of secondary school-- Hi lili my favourite butterfly! ~~~ 

Here's a photo to put a face to the name, of course she looks way cooler now ~

But yes, this semester is packed with these crazy-assignment-heavy modules. I have a Production Theatre Practicum module which require us as an entire class to plan and carry out a full theatre production! That is both scary and exciting at the same time.. (like lili's plan to live in africa). And I have 20 pages of script waiting for me to memorize :'D

Well, I'm stoked nonetheless. It's gna be an awesome rest of the year, for you too whoever you are! Have a great week all, and look out for the next cover by J and I soon! (I super love this one -- We're in the process of filming it!) 

with love,

sam

Criday

Yes. Today's cry-day not friday.

It's been a long day and I can barely breathe now that I'm about done with the day. 

I was pretty upset, so I got myself a popsicle. Then a cake -- yes like an entire cake -- to myself. And just when I thought I'd prolly be too full from eating my soaky salty cake, I found myself at my favourite little korean food store, downing the whole bowl of ramen. 

Later on, my feet found its way to fish and co but my wallet refused, so I had no choice----- but to have an egg mayo sub. (second egg mayo sub for the day) Yeap, I stuff well when I don't feel so well. And yes I went on my own, don't unfriend me just because I went to binge on my own.

This is prolly why I can barely breathe, I had too much to eat. 

Anyhow, a sad day sure calls for a sad cover so ----

ps: craving for maggie mee now and really, my stomach's crying out
*slips in a prayer for the weekend to get better*

with a little less love today,

sam

Taiwan (make up post)

How's yall doing folks,

I know.... like what happened to the Taiwan posts. If there was a grade for space updating consistency, I wouldn't score very well. Nonetheless, the past 3 months have treated me pretty well -- what with Taiwan, Perth and Korea in a straight go :'D I am very thankful.

There are too many photos so unless you follow me on instagram, (@seatheskies ; which is by far the most consistent space I've kept up with heh) you'd have thought I died somewhere in the oceans whilst traveling.

Good for me I have a bestfriend who loves to film and hence we've got these vlogs up! Jean is an amazing travel buddy, and I can't ask for more. The vlogs are my takes on colour grading as well (my secret dream since I can remember watching films tweehee).

Go on and feed your eyes guys!

day 1:

day 2:

day 3:

day 4:

day 5:

Day 6 and so on soon when the both of us have less things on hand :'D

Heads up, I ARE UPLOADING A COVER SOON *inserts world domination laughter*. We're in the midst of editing it now and so, it should be up in a week!

Goodnight bunnies :)

road/write'13 (day one)

// Okay, this.
We saw this staring back at us from the windows at
about 2489630957623 ft up in the air @ 4+ am in the morning on flight.

It was so beautiful I could cry.

(Favourite part of the day no.1)

// We met this coolster girl Serene on her flight to transit at Taiwan to fly in to Tokyo! Travelling all by herself to go attend a music festival and found out she's my senior we did the exact same course as I did wooo ~

// Meet An An, Jean's nephew, also my playmate for one whole evening. You win the cutest kiddo of the month :'D

// *WARNING: feels pictures coming up* hahaaha

// Day one: Ximending

// We spotted a pretty little cafe up the second level of one of the stores, called Caffee. (Favourite part of the day no.2 hehe)

// Piao Liang gur 101

// Favourite part of the day no. 3, this is Jean's Ah Ma. Smiling her widest at the age of 83! We got to pray for her and just love on her for the night, and we're gonna keep believing she lives well and has her health up and strong again in no time. We know Jesus is with you Ah Ma :)

And this is Jean's video ---> hehe

So there, summary of our first day in Taiwan :') 

Thank You Jesus for an even more fruitful day 2! 

Goodbye world and wish us all the best ~

Hole In Your Hand

Meowmeow hello world,

so I finally got down to doing a decent video of an original a couple days back so here's the final product :)

link:

Hole In Your Hand (original)

so,

Jean and I are leaving for our adventure in Taiwan tomorrow! We're gonna come back with more videos and I believe, our own stories to tell. It's been a pretty crazy time the last 3 months and we're both heading there with a confident expectation of good things to come out of this trip. 

I'm really thankful for everyone who's been praying for us and with us throughout this time and for those who've not stopped believing in us and all that we've been graced to do. And really, I guess that's what this song is about... Realising that despite our endless failures, He laid Himself down and made that the only valid argument. 

Growing up, it has been in my nature to fight in a posture of defensiveness/ rebellion, and I've been to insane places just because of hurt and anger and the hope to save my pride. But if there's just one thing I've learnt, it'd be that because He did what He did, I can fight with "my hands lifted high and arms open wide" today. 

My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

(Psalm 73:26)

note to self: No more fist for fist and hurt for hurt, I'm retaliating with a heart of worship. 

Goodnight :')

Hello bunnies,
I got myself one literally:

There we go. Meet paddlepop, the cutest bunny thing alive :')

And just in case you've forgotten how my face looks like, (#excusesforpostingselfies) here you go:

I'm glad I found you again, wordspace. There has been much to spew, so here's where I'll camp when I feel like it. And hello August, you shall be amazes. x

surrender

Nights like these.

I have Surrender playing in my ears.
The guy is singing, "I lay it all down... I lay it all down... I lay it all down, at Your feet."

I'm looking out into the streets as everything passes me by, and I feel strong again. I know that all this waiting happens for a good reason. The sole purpose of moulding me into the most beautiful human being I was born to be.

Suddenly, everyone else dissipates from the picture and there remains, You and I.
You're holding my hand, holding me.

You say, "Everything is going to be more than fine." And right there, I believe You.
I might not tomorrow, and I may not have yesterday, but right now-- in this very moment, I do. I know that You are for me.

So, "I surrender all to You."

(16/2)

bye bye 2012

ola folks!

I'm sorta swooping through this post cuz I'm not gonna have any time else before 2012 ends! It's so crazy how the year has passed like in a snap.

So. I just wanna end this year thanking Jesus;

Maaaan. You have been so ridiculously faithful and I cannot even begin to describe how amazing You have been to me 'cuz I would have failed the moment I tried. All year I have been quite (extremely) the selfish, ungrateful brat, but you keep coming back and into my boat, knowing full well the person I am. You use me especially when I have no ability. You love me especially when I'm all wretched. You draw close, especially when nobody wants me. And You believe in me, especially when I give up on myself. And on top on Yourself, You send people to love me, believe in me and guide me. Then You teach me love, and You send people for me to love, and oh what a privilege-- because life really isn't life without people to love.

And if these weren't enough, You call me friend, daughter; my fair one.

I am thrilled because I know that in 2013, You're gonna be a hundred gazillion infinitrillion times sweeter, and unpredictable! I can't wait to be surprised hehe! I love You too ;)

And I end abruptly, right about now.
See u guys next year and have a really blessed one!

fan the flames, burn the chains

Hi folks,

I didn't want to start whining about my cold to anyone excessively... so I figured the least imposing place to purge about it was this space hahahahahaha. Okay I'm kidding I'm not gonna go on about it, or maybe I am. Nahh-- I'vehadthisawfulcoldsincesundayandit'snotgoingaway!!!!!!!!! Okay sorry. I had to. My nose is having mood swings or something. Runny then blocked then runny then more runny then blocked. And the throat feels like sand paper and comb against each other when I try to clear it. Yux. And have I mentioned I sound like a smurf???! #cray

Beyond all that, I managed to clear my drawing assignment and pull through 4 hours of sketch today hehe. #survivor this tells you a lot about how much I love drawing module.

Ok blabbering aside, I bumped into a really precious friend today. I had my shopping load of christmas stuffs and with them tired hands feet nose eyes nose again and everything, I bumped into this girl and I reacted to her by igno----  giving her a huge smile. (and that basically set everything else in place) Haha ok you know what I mean..

It's a crazy day, your body is behaving crazy, you just wanna head home and sleep off the madness. Who cares about some random person you haven't met for 5 years and so happen to bump into on the train? Jesus does. And so she responded to that smile and started sharing almost casually about what was going on over at her end. I'm still amazed by that amount of openness. And to sum it up, we're doing wanton mee date next week. I couldn't help but walk away from that feeling.. really... loved. Like I knew Jesus really loved her, cuz she seems to be finding someone from church to speak to again (it's been a good while). But I, I knew I was loved cuz He knows these sort of days are those that gets me all pumped up. Love it. Love that I got to be a friend, and got a friend today. Love love love it.
