listening to: Kiss The Rain - My Rendition

The first time I heard this was on YouTube, played by Yiruma himself but as soon as I heard it, it said something to me... the notes told a story... a sad story; a love story.

I couldn't stop listening to it. I really loved the piece so much...

But the way Yiruma played it was much faster than how I envisioned it... and joyful too. It just wasn't how I would imagine the piece to be and as I kept listening to it, I thought I just had to learn it.

So I learnt the first part ^^;; This is what I know of it so far and amazingly enough, I love this rendition... I never thought I'd love something I played so much, but this was... exactly how I imagined the piece to sound... I'm really pleased with it, even if it is just the first part, so please have a listen and let me know what you think!

Even though you knew it'd never happen... just... a part of you still wanted to hold out... that maybe... just maybe... no?

Even though you're miles apart, does that matter?

Even though there's an age difference that... for you, for some time, would have been very strange, it didn't matter because they were just so sweet...

Then you find out... they found someone... that they'd just met... it's... a really weird feeling... one you'd had before. Now, it's a numbing pain because you're not unfamiliar with it. You're used to it, even. It's not new to you, after all...

Man it's almost another Friday!! Sorry it took so long to update again. Actually, I had been meaning to but managed not to again, cos I'm just such a retard =_=;;

Anyways the past week has certainly been strange in some aspects to say the least. Otherwise it's been generally really good :D

Firstly, I played piano for my local church, Westwood, instead of my usual Chinese church for the first time. I think it went quite well :D I did my best and God loves me anyway ^^ I've been asked to play again next Sunday so looking forward to that :)

I think I've officially joined the 'worship team/this particular band' then, yey ^^

Haha, from not wanting to serve at all before and refusing to, God certainly has turned things upside down to making me serve Him as much as possible! And I wouldn't have it any other way, really ^^

Also went to an evangalism talk (helped a LOT. Will go into that in a bit) and joined a cell group, which was really good. I defo learned a lot from it so yeah, really happy ^^

Anyways, the evangalism talk definitely helped me... Just gave me a lot more confidence to spread the Good News about Jesus. There was one person I really wanted to share with for a long time but kept on trying to find the right time and thought 'nahh I'll do it some other time' but never got a chance.

Also was afraid I wouldn't know what to say to them, but last night, was pretty darn funky! Cos I just so happened to be playing a game on facebook which chatting on msn, and somehow got a HUGE urge to tell him God loved him.

Of course, if I just randomly said that, I really wouldn't know how he would take it, but then I looked on the msn screen (I would have said it anyway) but he just so happened to have mentioned Christianity first! Pretty darn cool, really.

Really felt God saying something to me, wanting me to spread the news. I think... well, I've always known He had something planned for me, I just didn't know what and was always reluctant to find out.

Just recently tho, everything's been falling into place.

I'd put off growing up for 19 yrs, then just on my bday, God arranged for me to go to a Christian camp and the moment I stepped in there I changed...

I grew up.

And now, everything else is falling into place. So, I will just let Him guide me ^^

Anyways, shameless plug now for an absolutely AMAZING guitarrist: Silver Mercury. He's actually amazing and even collaborates with keudae. He's self taught and has only been playing for 3 yrs so I'm so darn impressed!! He's also got an original compositon, Diamond Wing (check what I'm "currently listening to" ;D) and I love it <3

He defo has skills, so do check him out! ^^ Here's an embedded video of his latest collaboration with Keudae, Epik High's "One":

Aside from that, I skipped my German mock oral exam today :( I was just "too well prepared *cough*" to do it >_>;; On the bright side, I thought of a decent topic to do it on tho ^^ Swine flu~~ :D And after reading Katrina-nee's comment on my previous entry, I have even more to say on it!

Plus it's certainly relevant today and is also relevant in Germany so it's a perfect topic really! There's a load about it on the news and I see so much on it on tagesschau.de and all the vocab I need is there really, I think I can defo rant for ages on it ^^

So yeah... really glad God showed me the way with this! My exam is way too soon! Originally thought my exams didn't start until 27th May but realised just yesterday they actually start on the 21st so I'm really not too happy ><;;

Okies, need shower now then going to friend's place~ ^^ See you all! :D

Btw JESUS LOVES YOU!!! :D If you don't like it/don't care/hate Him, Jesus still loves you!!! ^^

And Friday =
1/. Day I get some work done (hopefully... no, definitely!)
2/. Day new Bleach chapter comes out (mannn Kubo really needs to move things along grrr)
3/. Day... I knew there was something else but I've completely forgotten, being the absolute genius I am o_O;;

Happy first of May ^^

I'm not too happy tho. Man, I only have 26 days to go before my first exam and I'm so scared ;_; Need to get some LEARNING done before I can REVISE anything. ARGH >_<;;

I suck T_T

Oh well. I was doing some reading/video watching on tagesschau and man, that swine flu virus looks DISGUSTING. Seriously, it looks like blue mould... So gross ><;;

I had a look at it on wiki after tagesschau (cos I highly doubt I'll have enough German knowledge to understand all that technicall jazz on Germanwiki or whatever) and it's happened before? But we've just got a weirder version of it these days. Great, lucky us... o_o

But if it isn't that serious, why have 12 people died already in America? People are so blooming ignorant! They're all saying we're fine cos we're in England, but, hello? 8 cases have already been confirmed here. And if it's fine, why are there dead people? =_=

Plus, we have to LEARN from history otherwise history will just repeat itself. Swine flu of a weaker kind managed to kill thousands way back when, what's to stop a pandemic now, especially with a mutated version that we have these days?

I wish the West would stop avoiding the issue before it's too late. It's really good at doing that, I've noticed =_=;; You know, there are NO cases in China yet in HK they are already calling their overseas students back just in case and saying they can arrange examinations back in HK for these students instead.

What's UK doing? "Oh we don't have swine flu! Omw you have a cold, SWINE FLU HAHAHA *totally not taking anything seriously*". I mean, come on. It's better to be safe than sorry, right? Also, there are already 8 confirmed cases in UK and 29 confirmed cases in total in Europe yet they're still sitting back and having a laugh.

I'm sure the dead cases are only for those with very, very weak immune systems aka the very young or elderly generation but they won't be laughing if their own grandparents die from it will they? So stop taking it as a joke and do something about it! Oh my word I hate the careless attitude of the West.

Anyways, why was I looking at swine flu? Cos I have a cold. And yes, it is just a cold. Lemsip is working just fine for me. I don't have a runny nose, I don't have a bad throat, I don't have diarrhoea and I still want to eat like a pig (no pun intended) so yus. But man, the moment I published my 'cold' status on fb, I instantly had two friends going 'swine flu!' at me.

What if it actually was? Not really one to appreciate you laughing at my potential death, thanks =_=

Anyways, rant over. Need to get on with some work methinks!

Final note: oh my, I'm on NuTang's most active for the first time in... HOW long? XD Get in there early, eh? Hehe! ^^ Darn I hope it's not gna be too short-lived :(

Ok so I ran for position of secretary today for the badminton club but didn't manage to get it. I didn't even manage to get committee member, but man, there was a surprising amount of people who ran this year so maybe that's one of the reasons.

Another is that the guy who won went to practically every club session there is going this year and I only joined as an official member... er... yesterday >_>;; Heh, so that might be another ^^;; But the guy only did like... a 30 second speech...

Nevermind, I think after I couldn't make secretary and my friend Lisa didn't get chosen for treasurer it really put me off being part of the badminton exec altogether. In the end, out of 13 exec positions, only 3 are girls.

That's quite a letdown and just goes to show what an inbalanced club it is, really. Seriously, if they want more female members, they should think about the number of females they have on an exec.

Doesn't matter tho, I prayed beforehand, so I know this was for the best and God won't lead me astray ^^ Also, I plan to concentrate really hard on my studies next year so definitely won't have the time to go to exec meetings etc.

I really had fun at the pub social after tho! Woot! :D Generally a good day then, aside from the rain ^^ Hope everything works out for the club and I still wish it the best and love it to pieces ^^

Bedtime!!! Gnight!

...even if I have nothing decent to say ;p

Just came back from badminton, now wasting time on FB again playing Bejeweled Blitz, yay =_=;; That game is too addictive :( On the plus side, I made some new friends at badminton, yey ^^

Also, elections for badminton exec are on tomorrow! I'm running for position of secretary so hooopefully everything will go ok for me. Oh well, I'm not particularly fussed if I don't make the position, but hopefully I will ^^

Just bought my badminton membership haha >_>;; Yus, I have been going and playing as an active non-member ^^;; Oh well! I'm a member now so that makes up for it :D One thing I noticed tho, is that I bought gym membership as well but it hasn't shown through on the website so I'm wondering if it's actually gone through on my card.

Will have to go and double check that at one point. Probably tomorrow as I am hoping to have another gym session then. Yes, I so need to get fit and lose weight ><;;

Need shower! Gnight~
