My God is Mighty to save

Testimony for God: My brother went cycling (this happened a long time ago actually. why am i posting this only now?!) and fell of his bike. i wasn't there so i don't know on what kind of Spiderman pose he landed. But whichever pose it was, it was enuf to fracture his arm. Miracle was, he didn't feel much pain. You know when people fracture their arm they'll be jumping like lima beans, doing the Mambo Number 5 and screaming right? To be expected. But thank God, he wasn't in that kind of pain.

At the doctor's, he had an xray taken and it showed that his arm had fractured. We were all surprised he didn't sob/scream/throw a tantrum over the pain. Had to be the work of God.

Next stop, hospital; to get a cast on. It was night by then and my dad took the sibling crew home while mom stayed with bro at the hospital. Then my mom called and said the doctor was attending to him. He was checking if the bone was in place. If it was, good. If not, a small surgery had to be done to put it in place before cementing the cast. Mom told us to pray and in 10 minutes, Doc will give the verdict. Then we put down the phone and i told other bro & sis to start praying. Sis & i prayed together. Around 10 minutes later, i called my mom up to find out the results. My mom said, Praise God, there was no need for any surgery.

Woohoo! God at work there.

He's removing his cast soon. Say, what assignments do we have to hand in? i dunno if my JE sources have replied. Maybe i should call instead of waiting for their email. Oh, snap.

The Smiling Lieutenant

omgomgomgOMG!!!!! People people listen. i just found the funniest, awesomest blck&whte film E.V.E.R.... like ever ever ever. Seriously, you should watch it if it kills you to find it. It's called -The Smiling Lieutenant- It has a plot as corny as anything but forget that! It's so hilarious and at the same time, it can make you cry (sad cry, not happy cry). It tells of a Lieutenant Niki in Austria who meets a beautiful violinist, Franzi and they fall in love. One day, when the King of Flausenthurm (neighbouring country) visits the Austrian Emperor with his daughter, Princess Anna, fate literally shat on the poor Lieutenant Niki. He was supposed to be on the military welcoming committee. And as the royal carriage was passing by, Niki saw his beloved across the street and winked. Princess Anna caught his wink and thought it was directed at her. The King and princess were angry at his supposed impudence and summoned him to their quarters. By some horrible mistake, Princess Anna thought Niki was in love with her. Niki was ordered to marry her at once. Boy, was Niki bust. He had to move to Flausenthurm with his wife and the King. There, he was not happy because he misses Austria and doesn't love the princess. One day, he discovers that Franzi and her group of traveling musicians were performing in Flausenthurm. Thus begins an affair between them (i don't condone this btw). Naughty naughty! The princess discovers their affair and summons Franzi to the palace. But check this, Franzi and the princess became friends and the sexy violinist teaches her how to be the opposite of her dowdy self to win the affections of her husband. i love it! When Franzi's work was done, she bid Princess Anna goodbye and best wishes. Niki, when he saw his transformed, now drop-dead-gorgeous wife finally falls in love with her.

Sad part: When Franzi finds out Niki's predicament and decides to quietly leave him. When the carriage sending him home arrives at his doorstep, Franzi (who lives in) quickly packs and writes him a goodbye note. She leaves one of her garters for him to remember her by.

Funny parts (just about everything):
1. When Niki finds out he has to marry Princess Anna (did you see his face? Hahaha)
2. The royal courtiers are getting the bedroom ready for the bride and groom. Their methodical preparation is enough to draw laughs. Then the announcers says "i now declare the royal bedchamber, a bedchamber".
3. Outside the room, other courtiers announce, "we declare this royal wedding day, a royal wedding night".
4. Niki kissed the King and said "That's as far as i'll go", when he refused to sleep with the princess.
5. The King enters their bedroom and finds Anna after Niki her. He carried a checkers set to take her mind off things. omg this part is damn funny. *well if he won't sleep with you, lets play checkers!*
6. In the dining hall, the King, princess and Niki are eating schnitzel out of a cow the princess had specially ordered from Austria. Niki says "Poor cow. To start life in Vienna and end it in Flausenthurm". He gets up to leave and says "As a gentleman, i say thank you. As a Viennese, i say Moooooooooooooo".
7. Niki is on top of the moon when he returns to the castle after a rondezvous with Franzi and when he bumps into the King and Princess Anna he sings and dances with Anna. They were both elated. Anna: "He danced with me". King: "And he called me Daddy."
8. After Anna has been hotified, Niki hears jazz on the piano and he runs to her bedroom they were supposed to share but he refused. He saw her new hot self and runs back to his own chamber to check if the wine he drank earlier was expired.

Crying in Parliament because of work stress

That Thursday on lunch break after Management lecture in Ayamas

We were blabbing to each other about assignments and how it much it screws us up. All of us can agree on the fact that it makes us cry. Yes, seriously. Assignments can make people cry. I guess deep down, we’re all sensitive souls. *cue toot*…

Mohani started elaborating about how it stresses her out and how she’ll start breaking down when it becomes too much.

Rachel said once when she had to hand in Media Law it was such a terrible experience with her car issues and all that so she had to cry.

Nahda said it was very straining with all the datelines to follow and how she even freaks out when she gets yelled at. Then she brought in the working scenario too and how she’ll start going all weepy if the bosses start screaming.

For me it’s a little different. I don’t cry for every assignment. I can take it for as long as I can hold out. Of course with a little complaining and the occasional shouting at random people. It just builds and builds until it’s at its peak and come the final straw, Niagara Falls.......ok…I just described a volcano didn’t I? <.< Today in Media Context tutorial

We were talking about the same topic (sobbing about work in case your pathetic squirrel-like attention span wasn’t working on the earlier paragraphs). Nahda asked Ju Enn if she had ever sobbed about this. This was a silly question to ask Ju Enn considering it’s Ju Enn! What?! Ju Enn the composed, levelheaded, never-screams/shouts/yells girl? I don’t think so!!! As expected, Ju Enn’s answer was “No! Why would I cry over assignments?” with that *wth?* look on her face. Haha hilarious.

Then I said: “omg imagine if I got a job in some hard hitting newspaper corporation and I had to cover news about Parliament proceedings instead of just applying for a silly magazine where I can HeheheheAheeeeeee like I always do. I probably wouldn’t know the first thing to write and start sobbing in Parliament. Just imagine. Parliament is proceeding, with the MPs all discussing their stuff. Suddenly they hear this annoying whiny sobby sound and they all go ‘who da heck set that stupid ringtone?’. Then all heads rotate 360° to one corner where there’s some girl crying her eyes out all over her notes/doodles. I can see the MPs getting up from their seats and walking over to me and say: ‘What’s the matter, child? Why are you crying? Don’t cry. You’re notes are all illegible now. There there. Here’s a tissue. Dry your eyes.’”

Crying in Parliament……

Conclusion: Boy, I can really crap!

Stop ABUSE!!!

Will someone for the love of freagatootingness report the case of neglect and abuse of this blog to the authorities!!!

He has something to say (when I typed in BlogPSOT instead of blogSPOT)

Wow, this is a big time testimony. i'm really shocked by this one because it was really unexpected and when you hear this, you're jaw will hang too. i typed out my blog address two days ago but made a mistake. i typed jazzedbanana.blogPSot.com, not blogSPot. Then, before i had a chance to correct the mistake, the page for that address loaded and i saw that i had entered a Christian website called Biblecollegeonline.com. Gosh, i was amazed. i'm thinking God has something to say and i know i should share it, so i wrote this post. Today, i tried typing the address biblecollegeonline.com and the same page came out! Is it possible for one website to have two addresses? i'm not sure about that, but one thing is for sure, if i had mistyped my blog address i wouldn't have come across that page. And i believe it wasn't an accident. God works in mysterious ways. i think you should check out the *page . Then try typing in the other address, biblecollegeonline.com. Go read. Rapture is near.

~God bless you all.

Lame Valentine's Day story (using Paint)

Ah, Valentine’s Day. There’s a romantic story to the celebration of this day and I’m so gonna tell you. =p

One self endangering, brave fool made history by defying a rotten Emperor’s law.

Starring:

(Antagonist)
vs
(Protagonist)

& The ever cacat Romans

The Roman Emperor Claudius II created a rule that banned young men from marrying because he believed marriage made men soft. And he desired to grow his army, so he issued this decree to keep men from marrying their sweethearts.

St. Valentine, a priest, refused to abide by this law and in secret, he conducted marriage ceremonies for the young men.

As usual, news had it's way of getting around...

Claudius found out about it and had Valentine thrown in jail.

The End

Thomas Kinkade's work

Art has a way of hooking your heart and your eyes. Thomas Kinkade is one of my favourite artists. Ever heard of him? He's the "Painter of Light". And the title fits. Just look at some of his work. It incorporates the element of light. It's so beautiful it makes me dream and tear. He paints a lot of houses, cottages, very Victorian looking. i take one look and it gets me going: "i'm soooo gonna live there". Like stepping into the painting.

It was tough trying to pick which painting to upload so i decided to save myself the brain damage and put in everything.


This one is called 'Hometown Christmas'. How i'd love to live in a neighbourhood like this. The vintage cars rock!!



This is 'Hidden Gazebo'. Gazebos are awesome. i'm gonna fall in love in one and get married in one.


'Everett's Cottage'. i wonder why it's called that. Maybe a guy named Everett lives there. Hmm wonder if he's cute. Hahahaha. His cottage is anyway!


'Sunset at Lamplight Lane'. Another sweet neighbourhood. They even have a lake for boating. The light effects in this painting are gorgeous.


There's one thing i don't understand. Why is this called 'Stillwater Cottage' when the current from the stream seems pretty fast? Haha ok stupid mouth. i'll just shut up. But this cottage rocks. Especially the little lane and the lamp. Ever realise that a lamp in front of a house would make it look so much prettier.

'Dogwood Chapel'. Wow at the mountains behind. i like that the chapel is made of stone. Stone cottages are nicer than wood ones.

'Living Waters' indeed. Check the stream out. i'd kill for a garden like that. And those flowers. Phew! If you look closely, there's a signboard on the grass. And one of the plants is potted. So this isn't a wild garden. Very well-kept.

'The Garden of Grace'. Another garden with a lot of larkspurs. i see blue ones, white ones, red and purple. Great steps too. Love the little gate. Finally, something shorter than me. Haha

'Blessings of Christmas'. And i say amen to that. Who wouldn't be blessed to have a house like this? Location is also fantastic. Cool archway. Frosty likes to chill outdoors. Hey Christmas tree outside the house!!! i dunno if it's the light, but the colour of the house walls is perfect. That pastel greenish blue.

Mein Gott!!! It's super duper gorgeous. 'The Garden of Hope'. That Roman vase and the pink and purple flowers in it. i see blue larkspurs on the ground. They're the only ones i can identify because of the shape. No idea what the other flowers are.

It's not easy to pick a favourite when it comes to Kinkade's work. But i think i like this one best. It's called 'The Bridge of Hope'. i think the name fits the painting. Hope is always related to light the way the light shines on this scenery is very beautiful. It really does look like a place of hope. Not to mention the serene feeling you get when you look at it. Once again, stone bridges are far nicer than wooden ones. The detail on this painting is very intricate. Just observe the lines on the stone curbs. Then the water, how the light shines on it. Can you see the stream running all the way from the top. i see more blue larkspurs and i think some white daisies.

'Seaside Hideaway'. Lillien was a disbeliever of houses overlooking seas before. Woman do you still think they don't look good. This painting can really make you change your mind eh? Nice huh? Plus that sunset. i like the steps leading towards the door with the little picket fence. Oooh don't forget the lamp.

This one's called 'Sweetheart Gazebo'. Awwwwwww. It would make a great spot for a date, not to mention a good spot to propose! Notice there's no lamp here. No spotlight!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha

'The Village Lighthouse'. This is strange. What does Kinkade mean? The lighthouse at the top far right of the painting? Or is a place named Lighthouse Village? Detail right down to the puddles on the ground. Cute lilliput people too.

'Pathway to Paradise'. Lillien, we should round up Woman Incorporated and have an English tea for ladies here don't you think? Sunday evening walks, maybe even camping at night.


'Lilac Cottage'. Aiyo so cute!!!!!!!! Little pumkin pie cottage with the honey bun blue door, sugar plum fences around, gum drop lamp in one corner and the peanut butter letterbox. Muahaha the cobblestone steps and even the wisp of smoke from the chimney. *SCREAM* i spy french windows and a to-die-for balcony. Dude is that virginia creeper? i believe i've found my dream home. Hahaha

'The Hour of Prayer'. Oh no, i'm drowning in drool. There're spider lilies. Check out the birdbath.

*Gasp*, 'Lamplight Manor'. Now i'm spoilt for choice. This would make my dream home too. i love everything about this house. The bridge; a river with steps leading down and the boat docked beside it; the stone house is way too cool; more french windows and lamps all around; lets not forget the gazebo. It's deliciously surreal. *Smacks lips* *AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*. This house is S-O-L-D...to MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know the name of this painting. But who cares. Imagine this, a house like the one in the painting above, vast land and a back gate like the one in this painting. Just nice for a car. You can see from the leaves in a straight line that this is a car lane. Haha. And why do i say back gate instead of front? Because i would prefer black Victorian gates for the front, very very tall, with tall stone walls too. i'll leave this mini white gate for the back.

You thought i was a poser? i'm an even bigger dreamer. *sigh*

When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

Post about Didi when she was 2-y-o

Guess who's the lucky stinker with a **STAR** for a cousin. ""ME"". Didi my cousin, performed a hip hop version of Joy To The World in church. She was the only 2 year old ~ that's right people, 2 years old ~ to dance it up and sing the carol with other 10 year olds. And she totally wowed the crowd. Everybody loved her and fawned over her like she was the next Angelina Jolie. There hasn't been any talent like that since Shirley Temple and i am blown away.

And when my aunt called her a star, she said: "mummy, i'm just akid, not a star." Her words. Not mine. Awwwwww.

Poser

It just amazes me how much hair she has.

Hey tea party!!!
She says grace before digging in.

One word: Awwwwww
