Back from, skiing

Hi all! just got vack from my skiing holiday in swizerland! am now in the heart od Lobdon ince again. Skiing wa so fun! and i'm so glad and pleased about my abilities! i managed to ski all the black and red slopes!!! (that means difficult and expert slopes) the hotel was magnificent as well if i may say,the actually made ine feel like a prince!!! everyone kept bowing to me and my family and going 'good moning sir/madame' (cause they all thought we were jap...) The first day was pretty slow moving. Me and my family arrived at switzerland airport, Zurich, at about 12. we stopped by a sandwich bar and ate abit. Then, e boarded the train at about 1.30. It was REALLY stressful doing it, because every single train which we had to get on meant lugging 5 30 kg bags with us all the way to the next interconnecting change! it was REALLY cold when i steeped out of the train, and i felt like my hands were going to just drop off... The scenery was really nice though, and the snow covered andscape was BEAUTIFUL. it was almost like diamonds in the sunlight... when we got to the hotel, every thiong just went so remarkably well from there. People took our jackets from us, called us sirs and madames, and basically, in short, treated one like a king. Unfortuantly, the wonderful concierge told us that we had to dress up for dinner, and it meant suit and tie and pants... not really my fav sort of thing, but am used to it already... in my opinion there should be a hotel wwhich allos one to come down to the dining room restaurant place dressed in batak pajamys... anyway, the food was wonderful... they all felt like a morsel of heaven! The next morning was a sunday, so me and my fam went to church. The mass was in german 9or was it french?) and i couldn't understand a single thing. The church was very quain and cozy. They had 12 moasic stained glassess. each saint looked really sage-like and wise yet at the same time warm and comforting at the same time. The mass had 5 alter servers 3 boys and 2 girls. This really surprised me cause in Singapore only boys can become alter servers. Girls aen't allowed to become one (at least not yet anyway...) For those of you that do not kow, an alter server is one who helps the preists in the church carry out mass, such as handaling the bosy and blood of Christ, and basically just assisting the piest in whatever way he needs. However, the alter boys were looking at the girls lmost half the time, (they were sitting opposite each other) and the girls were trying their hardest not to smile and burst out laughing... as a result they made many mistakes. It was funny to watch them, yet at the same time a bit upsetting that they were fooling about so much when they should be helping out the priest. After mass, my fam and i proceeded to eating lunch at this wonderfully quaint bar, which sold lots of drinks and sasages. After that, we did a bit of shopping, and i got myself a pair of new shoes and some stuff for some of my friends. Then, we finally went to the ski shop to try on our things. i went first, and i had completely forgotton how ncomfortable a ski boot can feel at first... it wa so so cramped and stiff at first, but it gradally got better as i got more used to it. The next day, we finally hit the slopes! I went easy at fist for the first half hour and did two beginners sopes. Then, me and my sis (my bro in law was having lessons, and my dad wanted to ski in the beginners and my mom doesn't ski) went to some red slopes. It was really great! the feeling was so exhilarating and wonderful! The path was abit treacherous though, and had alot of icy bits in it. One part freaked me out when i was skiing so fast that i didn't realise a tree was in front of me. When i turned rund, i barely managed to avoid it... REALLY scary. th ski lift took us up after we finished the run, and the view was breathtaking. The mountains just loomed ahead, and they seemed to tower over us, making us look so insignificant and small next to it. The mountain air was so fresh as well, but constantly made cold bites to my face. The temp was -10 degrees up in the mountain, so you can just imagine how cold it was. I skiied about 5 slpoes tat day, then rtired to the hotel. This time, i went about the hotel by myself, and explored about. It was so grand! the hotel had a movie room, showing things like kingdom of heaven, and charlie and the choc factory. Sadly, they were in german (or was it french?) with german (or was it french?) subtitles. then, i found a game rom, which contained ome really fun com games. I kille some time there playing virtua fighter, gefore some ah mor guy came and challenged me and kicked my ass... i went about, and found the spa next, and got a fright of my life! Even though i've seen it being done so many times, it sjust not feasable to my brain, and i ge a shock whenever i dee it when i come to such regions. I saw this extremely attractive girltake of all her clothes, and stand naked in the sap place, facing me,but looking else where. Then, some guy (most likey her boyfriend cupped her boobs and kissed her before undressing himself as well. They went ito a private spa thing, and God knows what happedned next between the two... There was another sight which freaked me out in the spa place though. With acception the fat and ugly naked people which proled he spa, there was this lone girl, again vry attractive. She took of all her clothe again, only to reveal she had something else instead. Yup, thats right. I saw a trasexual over there. Quite freaky... i left almost immediatly. Then, there was the massage parlour, and i was gretted by this fat obese thunderous woman, who reminds one of those dutch women massages, who asked me whether i wanted a massage. I declined politely, when heard some groaning and smacking coming from the next room... Ten, there was the swimming ool, with even more naked people tanning themelves (there were sun lamps in the pool) no one was really doing any swimming at all... i went upstairs to the bar next, and found my sis and bro and dad calling me to come in. I went inside and got yet another shock. There on the table... was sashimi! Here! in the mountains! in switzerland! honestly... i dunno why i even travel if i go halfway round the world just to eat something i can find so easily in singapore... Still, the sashimi as really good, and it was then when we received alot of strange stares from the others in the bar. They were all muttering and trtying to decide what race we were. It was almost as though they had never seen an asain before... even all the waiters and waitresses were staring at us, though more discreetly, and muttering things like what unusual looking people. They were even more fascinated when we were eating our sashimi, and were amazed at the way we can use chopsticks ohohohohohohohohohoho!!! one man even asked my dd, 'sir, how do you use such small thin sticks to eat???' it was relly quiete funny and weird at th same time. Then dinner was next, but before that, i wanted to have some fun. Inspird by my mohawk friend, i anted to try something different with my hair... i dyed it red! of course it was only temporay, and its already gone from my haor, but that one night was really quite entertaining. My haor was REALLY res, and everyone was staring at me, going w'wasn;t he a black head just now?' my fam of course got a shock. but i asured them it was temporary, and that i just wanted to be diff that nihgt. Again, food was wonderful, and the dessert was heavenly. (choc mousse! yum!) after that, we retired t bed. However, this wasn't as restful a bight as it was before. I had a choice you see, to choose whether to bunk with my mom and dad or my sis and bro-in-law. However, past expereince has taught me that my sis and bro tend to snore very loudly when tied. So, i decided to sleep with my mm and dad. Oh what a bad choice it was! while my sis and bro-in-law ay snore when tired, my mom and dad snore regaless whether their tired or not! I was kept awake till 4 am by their snoring befor i got some sleep. The next day, everyone woke up at like 8+ nd ent down for breakfast. Obviously, yours truly missed it sompletely and just slept on.After that we wnet skiing again, but as i was so drowzy, i made so many mistakes during the day. Firstly, i put the wrong boot on eah foot, and only realised this when i began walking at wondering why my feet hurt so much. next, instead of walking into the enter dooray to the cable car, i went nto the ext, and almost got hit by an incming cable car... the slopes weren't any better, i made alot of mistakes during the run, and collided into this poor elderly lady. I was so embarrassed and apologetic that whole day. However, i think te worse as that i promised myself that i ski only in the lue, cause i'm not awake enough for black and red today. However, yous truly has to misread te sign and go into, of all places, a black clack zone. What does black black mean? you see, difficulties range from blue(easy) to blue read red (moderatle easy) to red ( medium) to red blck (which is hard), black, which is super hard, and black black, which is meant only for experts. Why is i meant for experts? cause it has little rocks sticking out of no where, and shubs which re hidden shallowly in the snow also exists. Oh, and the worse partis that you don't ski on snow, you're skiing on ice and the vertical inclne is 75 degrees. My skill lever at persent can easily get thorugh red black, and with abit of difficulty, black. I have NEVER attempted a black black before, and it was SUPER hard. I made loads of mistakes, and fell down loads. Thankfully, i made it down in ne piece with aid from my sis and some nixe ski instructers. It was REALLY terrifying, and i came back to the hotel with a sore aching body. I was thanking God for looking after me the whole time though...i was really really nervous when i saw that trail, and i'm just glad i made it out alive. Dinner was only so-so in my opinion, but that was most likely because i was so tired and gouch about my day. I as so tired, that not even mt room mates woke me up! The next day, i was fully energised and ready to tae on the slopes one last time. I even managed to wake up for brekfast! GASP! what a shocking piece of news! i woke up in the MORNING! but yes, i did at breakfast(GASP! another miricale! he's eating!) and i was quite full after that. We went down for some skiing again, and this time i decided to do the black with my sis. we did it with abit of difficulty, but soon found ourselves at the bottm of the mountain. The scenery while skiing was beautiful. the mountain was really grand looking, and after we finished skiing, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction of conquering the mountin was somehing i will never forget. Indeed, when you see these mountains, you trly know how God does exist,and that all this is ALL his work. Only he could create something so grand like the mountains, and make it so beautiful and peacful at the same time... after that, ae and my sis did some cross country skiing, which was really tiring, but was cardiovasullaly very good (have you'll all done your eos???) The day ended well, and i had a wonderful dinnder, with exception of my dessert. I heard the waiter sy something else, and when i got my plate, instead of getting icecream and chocolate pudding laced with hot white chocolate with custard buns surrounding the pudding (YUM!!!) i got... prunes. 10 wrinkled black oval shaped things which tasyed of char siew rice mixed with kuay teow teng with honey all over it... which meant.. it was really taty! Honestly, i got a shock when i first saw it, and was hesitant to eat it, but they made the prunes in such a way that it was ctually quite nce. After that, we went to sleep, and left the hotel at 9.30 am. The price of the stay at the hotel was really shocking to me. Even though i more or less knew that the price would be so much, i was still shocked. The total cost of our stay was 12000 swiss franks, which when converted to singapore dollar would be 12000 X1.3 (do it yourself i'm too lazy) still, the stay was wonderful, and i hope that i can come again next year... without perhaps all the snoring and bad skiing stuff. Now, today is the 23rd... christmas is coming... i wish all my friends a happy chrismas, and that they will just do the lords will and rejoice in his coming. Hapy hols evryone! oh and for everyone's info, i didn't bring my phone with me to england, so i can't sms you'll as usual to wish you'll happy x mas. Sorry! i'll find a way to wish you'll anyway! Oh my... its already 1045 here... i must have been typing for an hour at least!... see you'll for now! i need to rest my pinky fingers.

Going back into the past...

(A recap on what went on while my absence part two)

Hi all! Ever so sorry for my long dissapearence from the face of this earth, but i have been really busy lately with things like eos and iso (essays for those of you who don't know). Right now, I'm in jollyol' England, and have been throughly enjoying myself. Unfortunatly, I'm still jet lag, and I'm basically writing this entry at 7 am over here. The sky's still like pitch dark and all that, i just feel like i should be slwwping...but nooooooo i HAVE to be awake... How disgusting is that right? Still, despite this early disgusting morning, Christmas is coming! and that just brightens up my day. I'm really looking forward to chriatmas, and receiving AND giving (especially giving... ohohohohohohohohohohoho!) out lots of presents. I got quite a few nice things for everyone. I got hair clips (which cost a bomb) for my mom, as well as a handbag. For my dad, i got him two books written by his most loved writer. I got anime galore and books for my eldest sis and her husband and facial and stuff for my middle sis. I got my third sis cds and a bag. All this was accomplished in one day... I spent like 10 hours in the mall shopping for my family... REALLY tiring... but accomplishing nevertheless. I got my friends a few things too, but wgat i got them's gonna remain a secret But the most wonderful thing that happened to me lately, is that i caught up with a long time childhood friend of mine. It a s good to hear from her again, and catch up with her on all thats been happening. We mainly spent our conversation dissing people and stuff! Ohohohohohohohohohohoho!!! Really hope i get to see her sometime soon. Anyway, breakfast is being cooked right now, and I'm being called to set up the table. See you'll for now, and do visit me often! i'll try to update more frequently too, but for now,

The Sacrement of Confirmation

(A recap on all that happened)

Hi all! yes, as i promised, i shall now recap to all of you what happened in my wonderfully exciting life during my woeful absence, and be able to thrill you sad common folks with my exciting life. (Ohohohohohohohohohohoho!!! Kidding... or am i...?) Anyhow, let me start way back in the month of september the 15th (at least i Think it was on the 15th...). On that day, me and a couple of others, including chang ming and ming hao if you know who they are, went through a holy sacrement known as confimation. Its basically a catholis thing, and its here we reconfirm our believe our faith in God, and dedicate ourselves to become soldiers and servants of God, as, well, as promising that we will do our best to honour him. Kinda like a process where we grow up to be adults... so i guess you can kinda say that when i was first baptised, i was just a babe who had come out into a new world. Now, i have grown, and have become an 'adult' and am now old enough to become a true server and solder of God...hence this sacrement is called 'confirmation'. It reconfirms our faith and believe in God, and confirms that we will become servers and messengers of God. It was really interesting... the arch bishop of singapore came for this wonderful day of ours, and the whole thing felt REALLY holy and spiritual. We all got to choose a saint who we would be named after, and then from there, we would ask that saint to help watch over us, and we also in turn try to live our lives like the saint we chose to serve God. Chang Ming chose Thomas, And Ming Hao chose Samuel. One of my friends Sticked with her old name Valerie, and another Gal friend of mine chose the name Xavier. As for me, I chose Blaize. I know what you're thinking... Who the heck is Blaize?! Well, he's a really great saint who died for his faith ( a Martyr). St. Blaize was a Doctor in his lifetime, and dedicated his life to treating and helping the prisoners. While most despised and spat and disrespected the prisoners, St. Blaize had the courage to tell others that they too are human, and they too need help love and care. He Spent almost his entire life looking after these people and treating them with dignity and respect and most importantly love. One of the most famous stories of Saint Blaize was about a boy who choked on a fishbone collapsed and could not breathe. then, saint Blaize merely touched him, and prayed to God, and the fishbone instantly came out. Since then, Saint Blaize has been known as the saint of throats, and basically protects our throats from all sorts of harm and illness and evil. He's basically the saint you pray to when you have really serious illnesses in your throat. I chose to be named after this wonderful saint, as he is my role model when i become a doctor. Ithas been my life dream to become a doctor to love serve and help others in God's name. I wanna help those that cannot help themselves... i wanna reach out a hand to these people and just be there for them when they need my help. Saint Blaize is my role model when i become a doctor, and i hope to live my life in a way that resembles his. Not just that... I hope to try and go further... and live my life just like how saint Martin and St. Joseph lived their lives to serve God. There's a second reason why i decided to choose Saint Blaize's name... But that will be a tale for another time... and you'll most likely find out one day too... just keep reading my blog, and who knows! maybe you'll see it there someday! Oh! Before i Forget, my full new name is now Joseph Martin Blaize Lim Cho-ren! Nice to meet you everyone! Haha! Well, thats all for now! i'll recap somemore on pass events another time. but for now...

Teachers Day

Wow! Yesterday was thrillsville! I went about the whole school looking for ALL my teachers and giving a small little thank you note to whole lot of them. Ya know... Its so strange that these people are so invaluable to us... But we just can't see it sometimes. They've sacrificed so much to help us in life... And they would go the extra mile just to help us all... A big Thank you to all the teachers out there in the world for all you have done... I'm really very very grateful to you for never abandoning us, and always pushing on... Especially to the new yeachers, I know that you'll have been having a really tough time during this past year, but please note the fact that I am soooooo glad and happy and proud that you have endured through all this hardship just so that you could help us. You'll are doing God's work in more ways then one... Through your caringness (there such a word?), your love, your sacrifices and the toil you face. Thanks for EVERYTHING and I'm sorry for all the trouble I have cause you if any. Good luck for all future endeavors and

May God Bless You Forever With Love As Angles Smile Down Form Heaven Above

Ithaca

ya know something? I just realised that none of my posts have dates... soooo annoying! sigh... well, will start putting in dates into my posts then. Anyway, I wanted to post this one up, because i think that its time that my blog lived up to its name... and i will share with you'll true experiences that i have encountered, and hope that you too will change, grow and metamorph along with me to become beautiful butterflies... well, then without further ado, i shall now come to the real crux of this post... i came across a really interesting poem the other day... its called Ithaca. Hope you'll like it!

When you set out on a journey to Ithaca,

pray that the road is long,

full of adventure,full of knowledge.

The Lestrygonions and the Cyclops,

the angry Poseidon- do not fear them:

You will never find such as these on your path

if your thought remain lofty, if a fine

emotion touches your spirit and your body.

The Lestrygonions and the Cyclops,

the fierce Posedion you will never encounter,

if you not carry them within your soul,

if your heart does not set them up before you.

Pray that the road is long.

That the summer mornings are many, when,

with such pleasure, with such joy

you will enter ports seen for the first time;

stop at Phoenician markets,

and purchase a fine merchandise,

mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

and sensual perfumes of all kinds,

as many sensual perfumes as you can;

visit many Egyptian cities,

to learn and learn from scholars

Always keep Ithaca in your mind.

to arrive there is your ultimate goal.

But do not hurry the voyage at all.

It is better to let it last for many years;

and to anchor at the island when you are old,

rich with all you have gained on the way,

not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.

Without her, you would have never set off on the road.

she has nothing more to give you.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not decieved you.

Wise as you have become, with so much experience,

you must already have understood what Ithacas means.

Cool huh? This poem has a special place in my heart... and i think that it really is the one thing that will help me through my times of need.

bye bye!

The feelings of losing a friend

yahoo! my other blog is coming along smoothly, and i have just accomplished so much work today! really happy and glad about that! sigh... but its not over yet! atill gotta push on some more! i'm gonna do my parents proud! Ya'know, i think its sad sometimes... how you're so unbelivably close to someone, but because you're not around that person anymore, or because s/he is always busy doing other things, you just grow distant from them... i know that these things can be prevented by actually talking to them... but for me... well... for some of my friends that is... i've grown so distant from them that i actually cannot even start a normal converation. it just feels awkward... sigh... well... as long as i try to be freindly again, i'm sure that they'll come back as my friends someday... heh... cross my heart and hope to die! oh, and just for a side note, thank you God for everything. You're the one who i love the most... i'm rea;;y just so gratful to you for so many things... heh... i know... abit random... but i just needed to write that down. as to what happened that made me write that down... well... just keep reading faithfully and you'll find out one day! seeya'll!

2005-08-08T19:02:00.000+08:00

Hi people! hmmm... vaven't updated in some time have I? Sorry! been really busy with alot of stuff... can honestly die... so, i believe that it is my esteemed duty to inform you'll about whats happened over the past few days. Well, my last update was on a thursday, so I'll start from friday. Well, on friday, I went for by band practice as usual, and found out a REALLY bad thing. My conductor wanted to quit! I was really quite shocked by what happened cause in my mind i always pictured my conductor always being there, and motivating us and just being there with us... still... at the same time, i wasn't surprised he wanted to quit... after all... we put him through so much crap, and so i wouldn't be surprised if he actually felt tired from constantly pushing us... well, even though that kinda blew up in my face, i still wasn't too worried about that yet, as i had basically a million and one things to be worrying about at the same time... namely my performance on saturday. the performance overall in my opinion was actually not bad... but i felt that we could have done better. We really screwed up the first half, but we made a tremendous come back in the second half, so i suppose that that's ok. I felt really embarrassed during one bit though, cause my friend and i messed up our solo! i know... super embarrassing... we both missed our enterance, and it resulted in that part not having any trumpet sound! luckily that part of the song wasn't completly exposed, so no one really knew that we missed that part... Though our conductor looked practically livid... but i suppose you can't blame him... i think i'd be annoyed if i was him... practice for 3 months, and still screw up... anyway, that brings me to sunday. sunday was really really really sad and boring... but relaxing at least! I got up at like 12, and missed sunday class completly, that makes three in a row... oops..., then immediatly had lunch. Church was cool... we had a new priest and he's quite funky... has my name as well! heh! then finally, went out to eat tepanyaki with my mom and dad.LOOOOOVELY! I was in heaven! tepanyaki rocks! anyway, this finally brings me to today. thankfully, i found out that my conductor wasn't quitting, and i also sent him a sms with an encouraging message... dunno whther he recieved it though... still, i'm gonna start working harder to make him stay here for good! Went out with a few friends after that, but nothing else really happened. Now, there's dinner, and my mom's calling me... hmmm... better go then! seeya'll! oh! and happy national day eve to you'll!

Woah! There's been like a huge drama thing going on in my class for the whole thing... something to do with guitar cca and this guitar boy, who everyone believes is an irritant (personally, i don't know whether he is, as i dun know him that well, and i think its wrong to simply judge a person without knowing him/her. Besides... to me... even if he really is an irritant, i think it would be really quite horrible to just treat him badly and no respect so...) and a group of 3 other guitar people in my class about a the guitar comittee or something like that... It lasted for a loooooooooooooooong time, and it may me REALLY annoyed! i had to practically scan through 4 whole huge pages of hate mail before i actually found the mail which was important, wanted and needed! luckily though, all of it more or less boiled down over the past few days... but all i can say is that the letters they wrote to each other were getting progressively harsher and hasher, and they began to hurt each other's feelings quite... well... badly... all i can say is that we as a class shouldn't fight among each other, nor should we try and hutr the other's feelings... all i can say is that i hope there will come a day when there will be peace and respect among everyone in the world one day... and that there will be no more of such things... after all... if we can't even remedy a small class thing like that, how are we gonna solve the bigger things in life like war, terrorism and racism? Thats all there is... there isn't anymore...

Omigoodness! Yesterday was like sooo hectic!!! I Don't even know where to began!!! At about like 12 midnight, i was alone in the house chatting with my friends on msn (my parents had gone out for a party). Then, suddenly, I heard a loud and all the light went out!!! I was sooooooooo majorly shocked by the whole thing, and was caught in an unending vortex of darkness (heh)! I literally had to feel my way about with only my hands!!! I couldn't even see a thing. Then, I decided to on the electricity, but decided that i first needed a flash light. So, i felt my way around the piano room, and when my hand touched the piano... i felt a HUMAN HAND!!! I literally screamed and stood rooted to the spot for like 5 seconds before I actually ran back into my library! I thought that that a burglar had broken into my house! However, I had stupidly run into a room with no lock, and i couldn't lock myself in the room to keep me safe. However, i waas too scared to move too far away from the door and put something against the door, as i was afraid that the robber would enter the room while i was pushing the stuff to block the door. So what did i do? I leaned my whole weight (which is not very much as i'm a just made it acceptable weight) against the door, and held the door handle up so that the robber couldn't enter the room. About 20 min passed before i decided that i couldn't stay here in ths position forever. After all, how would i call for help? So, i decided to walk out of the room, and then felt my way to the piano area to find my mobile phone. Thankfully, i found it without too much difficulty, and i ran back into the library. I then called my dad to come back home, as i thought someone broke in. Sigh... but when i called my dad to tell him the news, he was totally drunk!!! I was like 'dad! i think there is a robber in the house!' and my dad was like ' hee hee! really? your friend is it? Send him my regards!' 'no dad! i think someone's in the house!' 'Hee Hee! my son is on the phone!!!' Thankfully, my mom grabed the phone and asked me what was going on. i told her how i thought there was a man in the house, and she practically shouted ' WHAT?!?!' and then grabbed my drunk father and brought him to the toilet to make him rinse his face and make him somber. Then my dad was like 'son? whats wrong?' 'there's a burglar in the house!' 'why didn't you say so sooner!? wait in the library we're on our way back.' So once more, i waited by myself inside the library for about 10 mins, when suddenly, i heard a crealking noise in front of me. I got so frightened again, that i ran upstairs into my room, and locked it. Then, i waited for another 5 minutes before i finally heard a horn at the outside of the house. I was so glad my dad was back, and waited for him to come in. But after waiting for about 5 min, i realised the lights weren't on, and i began to get worried. 'did the burglar get my dad?' i wondered, and began to worry. i quickly called my dad, and asked him what took him so long. he explained that since there's no electricity, the gate cannot open, and the remote was useless. so that meant i has to come out of my hiding place, go into the kitchen, grab the keys for the gate, and then go outside and unlock the gate. Omigoodness! I was soooo frightened! Before I went to the kitchen, first I armed myself with a flashlight in one hand, and a picture of Jesus in the other (eheh). Then, while walking down the stairs, I was just muttering be with me God please! finally got to the kitchen, and had to fumble for the keys... but since I was so scared, I had some trouble finding them. Finally, I got to the gate and opened the gates by hand, and let my dad in. Then, he turned on the power, and told me to wait outside the house, and asked me where I saw this burglar last. I told him all i knew, and waited patiently for him. When he got to the piano area, he practically shouted 'ai yoh! you stupid or what son? its just the plastic hand which i brought back from office!' I wanted to die on that spot! I felt sooo embarrassed! anyway, my dad left again back to the party to pick up my mom, cause he left her behind for the time being. So once more, i was alone in the house, and i was just contemplating my useless existence, when i heard the sound again. I thought it was imagination going off again, but I heard 5 more times after that I was like omg! is that really someone in the house after all?! So i ran to the kitchen, grabbed the biggest Gensu knife I could find, and grabbed a picture of Jesus in the other. I walked towards the sound, and nearly died from shock! The lights in the room i walked into had exploded, and a fire had started! I ran to the toilet to get water. Thankfully, it was put out without too much hassle, and all that was left to remind me of the fire, was a hole in the carpet where the fire was. Then, it was just that minute when my dad came back with my mom and they saw me standing in the middle of the hall, with a huge Gensu knife in one hand, a picture of Jesus in the other, and a huge hole in their carpet. They were like 'what happened now?!' and all i could do was reply 'trust me... you won't believe me if i told you' and went off to go and sleep. NEVER will i face such terrible things in my life!!! I absoulutly refuse!!! but overall... i still found it quite funny! heh! Sigh but only these things can happen to me...
