Random To the Max I
*******************************************
I learnt how to load a gun and shoot a few weeks ago. I think I gave everyone a great impression by turning around with the gun cocked forward. They were freaked out, alright. (Do NOT ever do that, folks!) Never have I been so "kan cheong" my whole life. What a frightening feeling of awe!
I later, learnt quite a bit more about shotguns, machine guns, revolvers, rifles and more assortments of such weaponry. I now, have more respect for those who carry and utilize guns on a regular basis (not you street gangsters!) I was referring to the police, security squads and military personnel.
I do not get the Asian blush when I drink alcohol. Instead, my vision becomes strange and I feel light-headed. I'm not in favor of drinking oneself silly. However, I do feel that it's always wise to know your limits. I do now and am not embarassed to say that my tolerance is pretty low. My first creamy chocolate martini was awesome, but my 2nd and 3rd experience at different restaurants sent my head whirling. How disappointing. But hey, at least I save money on limited drinks. Bad martini, bad martini!

The mere idea of being a professional comic artist terrifies me. Seriously.
No academic training. No educational degree. No work experience.
Just pure God-given talent and a leap of faith.
How terrifying and intimidating.
*******************************************
In the next few months, I could end up ANYWHERE. I do not like this feeling, God. I DO NOT like it at all. I like knowing where I'm headed. I like to know what I'm going to do in the next few months. But I don't. AGAIN! Arghhh!! Why, God why?

It is wise to reserve your opinion when the food samples provided by a food supplier for demonstration purposes immediately gives you the impression that you're sucking on a penny. That sure, is one metallic-tasting baked product. But, I'll save that comment later for a more 'appropriate' time and preferably not in front of my fellow work colleagues: the food developers, market researcher, quality control specialists and chemists. *manager nods in agreement*

Home made gumbo soup and baked spring rolls. I'm so proud of myself.

I'm such a food science geek.
I've actually considered getting an autograph and picture taken with Alton Brown, Food Network star of Good Eats. He's going to be at this year's food conference in Orlando, Florida. I'm so gonna be there and I just have to meet Alton! *fangirl squeal*
Ok, ok I was just kidding with the squeal but I wasn't with the picture-taking intent.
*******************************************
One day, I woke up considering the possiblity that I'll most likely get married in the next few years. Or worse, soon.
I feel terribly grown-up and it's not a great feeling.
As Jas puts it, it's a quarterly life crisis.

Pls meet my new partner-in-organization.
Palm Tungsten E, who has earned the reputation for having one lousy battery life but redeems itself for boasting pretty color screens and looking sleek
It costed me $US 85, bought second-hand as opposed to $US 199 (retail price).
I've prayed over it for God's divine power of keeping its battery life longer than average.
It never hurts to have some faith.

Speaking of faith, The History Channel enjoys picking Christian-related topics to discuss. There was one whole series on DaVinci code and the Rejected Gospels a month ago, I'm sure. Last night, it was all about the Anti-Christ and Biblical Battles. Either someone has a bone to pick with the Christian faith as a whole or they're just plain curious. :)
According to the interpretations of those shows, leaders such as Moses, Joshua and Gideon weren't just weak yet faithful men aided by God. They were highly trained and crafty military strategists, who don't have a qualm killing in cold blood. *frowns* Great. One more argument to consider.
Anyway, to be fair, I partially agree with some of these interpretations but I still don't feel comfortable with some things God allowed or even commanded in the OT.
I hope to get these questions answered when I get to Heaven. For the time being, all they do is give me a good headache.

But no..... she's twiddling with the admin options and is having a ball of a time, finally having control over something.

another palm-freak!! (jess also)
excited to see u soon but if your path diverts i'm still happy for you whether or not u plan to work elsewhere or so forth hugs
Heh, that's quite an assortment of random things. Not that random is bad.
>In the next few months, I could end up ANYWHERE.
I can definitely relate. It is not a comfortable position to be in, yet I find myself there far too much of the time. We can always hope this will lessen as time goes by.
Going into any History Channel presentation, it can probably be assumed it will be from a fairly secular worldview. Don't let it bother you; scholarship is always muddier than it is presented. While I have plenty of my own opinions about how cold-blooded some biblical characters might have been, this isn't the place for them.
Hey Mave,
^___^ Hahahahaha! Very random and very funny.
I have not talked to you in "forever" and have wondered if you are in the U.S. or Malaysia, or just drifting in some other dimension.
Anyway, I'm glad to see you are doing well. Your gun story was interesting. I don't think I've ever pointed a loaded gun at someone at the shooting range. I think you've been heavily influenced by CSI. XD
Okay, let me know how things are going some time in the near future and I will keep you in my prayers.
By His Grace, my friend,
Val *HUGS* ^^
oohhhh, u have a palm!! *gives Mave a high five*
Gosh, my old Tungten T is giving up on me already & I hv this same model in mind ;)
sometimes, uncertainty is God's way of teaching us to trust fully in Him. Hang in there! He's working out His Will in your life.
