The Defibrillator

Quite recently, a friend introduced the word "defibrillator" to me. Even then, I did not think that it was an actual word until I looked it up on the Internet and here is Webster Online's response: Defibrillator - An electronic device that applies an electric shock to restore the rhythm of a fibrillating heart.

This friend knows I'm plenty ticklish, so supposedly I go through defibrillation when pokes me in the sides. =P It's quite irritating (ahem...) mainly because he does this quite often, and also because he thinks his hands make absolutely fantastic defibrillators. xD

I do recall one time when I happened to be next to Nat when he decided to try his "defibrillatoring" skills on her. I suppose it was her natural reaction to move, but why she whacked me in the face, I don't know =D I think I was tearing because I was laughing so hard, not because it hurt. apparently, he did not expect that to happen, but either way it was funny.

So for those who for whom I talking about, the next time you see him around... I will leave the rest for you to find our yourself.

Bring It On!!

Have you ever seen any of the five Bring It On's'? I think that phrase is sounds rather cool asking for the challenge, this season that really isn't the line that I can be saying.

I have been asking God for His strength as the past week have been full of floorball. After the first coaching session with Jill Quek, (Don't know her? Find out!) I was tired out! I didn't think the drills were that hard actually, but waking up at 6 am and coming down from Tanjung Bunga all the way to Balik Pulau is definitely NOT my cup of tea! Her sessions and the friendly Trailblazers had against FireBrands was told to be a training for the league.

Since last year, I have been so excited for PFL (stands for Penang Floorball League, for all whom has no idea whatsover that means =D) and being able to play in Division 2. Anyway, to end the awesome (but awfully achy) week, we played our first game in the league!!

Guess what! We won!! What an awesome first game to start the season! The score was 5-2 and although I really wanted at least one goal (and expected it) none were from me =P But my wrap ALMOST went in ;D

So Trailblazers, are we ready for the challenge the next 3 games are going to bring? Remember girls, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS! Way to go Traiblazers!!

An Original Fake

Last Tuesday, after ballet class and dinner at Ah Ma's house, (dinner was delicious =)) Chrisa and Ashton wanted to follow our grandparents out first, so Nat and I had mum to ourselves for a while.

As we were coming downstairs, a young man entered the lift. When he turned and faced the doors (as almost everyone does when they enter the lift) we saw the back of his white T-shirt with black printing that said: Original Fake.

Original Fake?! What is that supposed to mean?! We all noticed it at the same time, but Nat was the first one to show her quizzical expression, with Mum and me following. I don't know how I looked like, but anyone who knows Nat and Mum well enough, would know that the faces they had on meant the same thing.

We all knew what each other were thinking, which made everything funnier still. I tried to stifle my giggle, but as a lot of you would guess, I didn't. The guy must have heard, because he threw a glance backward which made me laugh even more. When we exited the lift, all three of us started giggling uncontrollably.

We stated that we must blog about this, so here I am writing (more like typing down, but anyway...) that funny moment. It actually still makes me smile at the memory, and if it is mentioned amongst the three of us, we start laughing all over again.

So, has anyone got an idea what an Original Fake is?

A New Look

As you can see, my blog has been transformed! Lately, mum and I have been in a blog craze. About to weeks ago, we got bitten by a blogger bug and since then, whenever we can, we are exploring the world of blogging...or making them beautiful anyway. If there are any of you out there whom have any useful advice, please leave a comment. It would be very much appreciated.

I really love the new look of my blog and I'm so proud that I did it. =D I admit, I haven't got much skill in this area and like I said, I'm just experimenting with what I can do. I haven't actually done up any blog before, so mixing and matching different headers and backgrounds for this one was very fun.

Of course, the background and header I took were someone else's designs, but still....I can say I put them together =P As you probably have already noticed, there's a tag at the top left corner of my blog. Although the designer would want her mark to say she created the background, I would have very much preferred if I could have used one of her buttons rather than a tag that really contrasts with my blog. I hope I do not sound mean, because I really don't mean to.

Anyway, Thank You to Shabby Blogs for the "princessy" header which my family says (and so do I) suit me very much, and to Hot Bliggity Blog for the awesome background which goes wonderfully with my header.

I think I shall leave the design like this for quite a while.....

For a Cause

Last Friday my Mum received message asking if my sisters and I wanted to be part of a dance. It was very last minute, for as we got the message on Friday, the performance was to be the next day.

We had declined a few other projects before this one, so we thought we should take up this one(we are by now quite used to last minute dancing) although expected to be dead tired considering we were having Spearhead training right before that.

We learned that the dance was part of a whole day program fighting sexual abuse on children. We were told to meet my teacher and the rest of the kids we were going to work with at at 3.30 in 1st Avenue. The program was there, by the way.

So, after training we rushed to my Ah Ma's house and got ready as fast as we could. We reached there st 4.15...yikes! The rest had started practicing and had gotten a few scenes, but our teacher said they also just started, and we didn't really miss anything. We met the kids - who were from the Children's Protection Society - and tried to blend in wth the steps that they had already created.


In the end, we rehearsed for probably only 10 minutes, and while we were making our way down the escalators, the emcee announced our entrance. We were like, "Oh no!" but we got down there fine. We danced for only for about 3 minutes and although most of us didn't really know what we were doing, I think the dance went fairly well. (Remember...we only had ONE run-through)

Overall, I think I did what I should have been doing and so did Nat (Chrisa didn't want to dance.)
I am glad that we did it for a cause and was able to be in touch with the community.

I Am a Dreamer

I am a dreamer
Take me higher
Open the sky up
Start a fire
I believe even
If it's a just a dream
(Chorus of Dreamer by Bethany Dillon)

This song was played at the credits of the movie Dreamer (starring Dakota Fanning and Kurt Russell) and as I heard it, it reminded me that I am a Dreamer.

Strong and Beautiful

The name of the child build her character and carries her destiny. That's why my parents took the effort in seeking God when I was conceived. I take pride in my name,

- STRONG AND BEAUTIFUL -
- DREAMER (IRISH) -

Therefore, my life's desire and prayer is to be Strong and Beautiful in the Lord and Dream Big in making God famous.

End Note: I know I have an awesome name, but All Rights Reserved. Do not use my name for any purpose whatsoever, for yourself or anyone else. With thanks and appreciation. =D
