Today is a day where I will look back and laugh about it when I talk about it again, especially with the people who were involved and I can tell you that there was heaps of people involved in it.
It all started right before class was about to end, only a few more minutes left on the clock when one by one some of the students, including me, rushed out of class to get some stuff done.
Soon as everyone was ready and stood by the door, the lights of the classroom were dimmed and everyone started to sing happy birthday to a special someone. The expression on her face was really surprise and it got even more ecstatic when she realised that the surprise did not end with a single cake, but came in through the door was bags after bags of food stuff and presents. We had 2 dozen Krispy Kreme donuts, 1 almond cake, 1 chocolate cake with 48 candles lighted, heaps of assorted chocolate(A REALLY HUGE BUNCH), jelly with Logan, drinks, junk food AND PARTY HATS!
The atmosphere was just awesome as everyone say with such enthusiasm and joy. The expression on her face was just priceless, the smile, the giggles, the eye contact where you can tell she was happy, she was thankful.
To impress us, with one gulp of air, she blew of all the 48 candles! The how hype escalated to a peak where everyone was cheering and jeering! She was about to cut the cake when something backfired, but in a hilarious way!
AN EMERGENCY HAS BEEN INITIATED PLEASE WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS!
came out from the speakers with this automated man machine voice
sirens were going off and the phrase was again repeated! and it went on.
Students and teachers came out to the classroom to see whats going on and getting the class ready!
As for what was happening in LG11, the whole class was laughing and going like OH MY GOD! as the birthday girl can out of the classroom to try to reach the phone to call the office but her efforts were in vain, she was running and zooming up the steps and back down.
at one point, the sirens went off louder and a different sentence was coming out this time EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! PLEASE EVACUATE THE BUILDING!
our whole class burst into laughter and not moving out from the classroom as we watch the other kids running out of the building! at last we were forced to leave the building as well!
Outside, the teachers started asking around and due to the story many burst into laughter. The news spreaded like wild fire across the entire foundation. And the funniest thing that made it classic was that THE BIRTHDAY GIRL WAS OUR TEACHER!
The fire brigade came and as the alarm did indicate where the fire was, the fireman was able to identify the source of the "fire" as we didnt take anything out from the classroom!
While waiting at the evacuation site, you could see the news spreading as people from there and there started laughing out so loudly. At one point, the teacher that had the title of fire alarm setting off king - some male teacher who sets off the alarm because he forgot his toast some time ago - told the entire crowd that there was a party at LG 11 and ask all of the people to join(but they didnt appear). And thus, he handed his crown to our teacher, Claudia.
After we were allowed to go back to our classrooms, we started to pick up the mood again and had a great party. All the food was just filling and really really yummy that we have so much left overs!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA!
ALL HAIL PBL2

For 2 nights in a row, Today and Yesterday, I have been praying hard to find the supernatural chef in me as I said I would cook dinner. I know, SHOCKER! Seumas actually cooking! People who know me knows that I am really house work dumb... shhhh, dont tell anyone! I KNOW I KNOW, its an open secret now! I am improving anyway!
So yup, on Friday I went to do groceries and thought of making the family Israeli Coffee Chicken and Bacon Cabonara. I know many of you have never heard of coffee chicken but if you did it right and am a coffee lover, I bet this dish is highly recommended.
Here is the process and outcome... Dont scream!
No one could help me take a photo while cooking :(
The marinated Isreali Coffee Chicken...
The soon to be Crisp Bacon for the Bacon Cabonara Pasta
The end product : Yin and Yang...
The Israeli Coffee Chicken was said to be ok but too much coffee as for the Bacon Cabonara, it got a big GOOD and smiles ofcourse...
I even had Lilian over for dinner... Hahaha, Luckily we are still surviving :D
The second day came and this time it is only me and wendy left home, and I thought I would step up to the challenge again and cook something much simpler this time and its only for two. Besides that Wendy is a little busy today.
Decided with Spring Onion and Garlic Steamed Fish Served with Cream Pumpkin Soup and Bread....
Here is the end product..
Sorry about the messy table, but anyone Hungry?? we even have juice!

Chasing Pavements - Adele
I've made up my mind, No need to think it over, If i'm wrong I aint right, No need to look no further, This ain't lust, This is love but,
If i tell the world, I'll never say enough, Cause it was not said to you, And thats exactly what i need to do, If i'm in love with you,
Should i give up, Or should i just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere, Or would it be a waste? Even If i knew my place should i leave it there? Should i give up, Or should i just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere
I'd build myself up, And fly around in circles, Wait then as my heart drops, and my back begins to tingle finally could this be it
Should i give up, Or should i just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere, Or would it be a waste? Even If i knew my place should i leave it there? Should i give up, Or should i just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere
Should i give up, Or should i just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere, Or would it be a waste? Even If i knew my place should i leave it there? Should i give up, Or should i just keep chasing pavements? Even if it leads nowhere.
PS : Dont Give Up

I had a blast this entire Easter weekend. All the way! It got better and better, even on Easter Monday although there was a little "annoying" part. And Tuesday was also awesome minus some of my self causing "annoying" parts. HAHAHAHA!
Anyway, throughout the entire weekend which include Friday, it was full on! There was no time to loose as everything that weekend meant a lot to me.
On Friday, I was at the morning service and boy was that 1 hour special service just so worth going. And as for the afternoon, it was a day at Darling Harbour with Jess, Wendy and Mindi. Yup outing with the girls to meet more girls whom at least brought a long 2 guys, actually there was 1 guy but he had to call another male friend to accompany so he wont feel awkward. Anyway, that afternoon as awesome, the sun was shinning well, it was a warm day and the parade and stuff around Darling Harbour created a really worth while atmosphere. It was definitely packed.
On Saturday, I had a day out with my friends and went to watch Pink Panther 2! That movie was just ok, wasnt too good nor too bad. Just that it would have been better on DVD or something. I even brought a friend back to West Pennant Hills to enjoy the joyous occasion of Easter at Hillsong Church. We are not suppose to be selfish - got to share the fun with others.
On Sunday, Woke up for the morning service. Normally I would be doing Kids, but since my friend was here, I accompanied him into the service and had to come out midway to help out at the busy times for Kids. He came to watch and at the same time help a little bit. It was really cool having a friend around! Went back for some Wii showdown and some Zs. After that, we went for the Easter Arts and Films Festival with Wendy. The art work was nice and the films were touching. Some of the 5 minute short films nearly put a tear in my eyes. There is another Euphoric moment during the service that came after the Festival. Not only did we get to praise and sing awesome songs, I got to witness something really really meaningful to me happen right before me... shhh, not telling!(due to respect)
After that awesome, out of the world service, we went for a little or should I say BIG dinner at Bavarian Bier Cafe which serves really good German food. Yummm.
On Monday, Came down to the city to meet Jason and go to the Easter Show with his friends. It was really boring as the start as we were looking at all this boring stuff until we arrived at the Carnival! That was the place I wanted to be, to have a little thrill and to have a spanking fun time. But the annoying part came when it started pouring. At first it was bareable but then the rain got heavier and heavier that all the people there started taking shelter in the show rooms. After spending some hours in the rain, trying to play and ignore the rain, we had to give in and run for cover. It was so hard as 3 people had to share an umbrella, leaving us ALL soaking wet.
The horror came when I started to have a headache and started to catch a mild cold and I didnt even had a jacket nor dry clothes. And we had to run to the train station that was a like freaking far. And had to go back early as we actually planed to watch some of the shows like the Extreme Bikes and Fireworks but then we didnt feel and cant stay any longer!
Even back at the city, I had to try to stay ok in my a little much drier clothes and sit through dinner. Got back home(was staying in the city), cleaned up and rest.
On Tuesday, Went out with some of my Unimates for a movie, 17 Again starring Zac Effron.. Well, to be honest I dont quite like Zac as he is a total pretty boy, yea, you might think I am jealous, but I mean come on, he is just using his face to get where he is, think about it, he so didnt earn being on the Oscars this year. Hahaha, anyway, the movie wasnt bad as the plot was ok.
After that we went Karaoke and scream our lungs out to heaps of songs. It was really fun. I really love singing eventhough I know I'm no where good at it.
It was about 7 when my friends had to leave and I had a date with Liang and Jason(my cousins) and we had dinner at Pepper Lunch. Soon after, they said they had planned for a movie and was going to watch 17 Again! I was like no, I'm not going to watch 17 Again AGAIN! hahaha, but he already had planned it and his friends had already agreed to it.
At one point I kinda got a little annoyed and paranoid as I didnt want to go back yet, but all that emotions and all was just self caused. It was really stupid of me. I guess its just my old self, which I think I gotta change. Need to do some reflecting. Really need to change!

We can choose to be anywhere in the world but we chose to be where we are at the moment. I've been feeling that by making the right choices of where to be would really make a difference.
Like on Good Friday, I can be anywhere but I chose to attend the special Good Friday Service at Hillsong Church. And man I can tell you, that if you feel that you made the right decision that it can affect the "stuff" which includes feelings and spirit and emotions, these "stuff" will have this certain awesome flow in your day that puts a smile in your face.
I know that I'm making a great choice of being here with You for Easter. What about all of you?? Have you decided yet??
PS: no matter what, I'm happy so should you be.

Midterms just started. Pretty much only one day left(tomorrow). But that has been the reason why I havent been so up to date lately as I've been busy mugging on books which I thought I did not do as good as the rest of the class. They are serious book freaks and when I compare myself to them, I feel like this lazy bumb who does nothing but have fun most of the time. I seriously dont know what are they reading that it takes like very hour of the day. So pretty much today we had a taste of the first exam, the midterms. And day one was cleared rather ok, didnt find the papers too hard. But I think tomorrow might be a challege.
I know eventhough the exams were just around the corner, I still manage to go to the HIllsong Album Recording the weekend before. And I can say that it was a day that would go down in history! Those music, the intensity of worship from the people were just overwhelming. I know saying cant make you believe it, but photos might make it seem more understandable, although you wouldnt be able to feel that moment of uplift!
AND I was able to attend the wedding of the year... Of Mr and Mrs Harber...
here are some of the photos from my phone...
for more please visit facebook!
PS: wish me luck for tomorrow!

Pretty much we only learn when we fall. That's kinda the way the world revolves. How many times have we said that we would learn to appreciate things before they are gone - countless. But how many times have this piece of lesson been executed - nil!
They came and they left when the sun rose on Monday morning. My family had a long 2 weeks in Sydney. And When I think of it, how much I've missed them. But yet I regret not spending more time with them. I could have been with them but I chose to do some other things. I chose to go for a party than dinner with them, I chose to go for a volunteer job at Colour than go shopping with them. I chose to go to the HIllsong Album Recording and not visit them Blue Mountains with them and missing the chance to say good bye in a more "emotional" way.
For this short two weeks, I could have done so much, but I didnt make the most out of it. Sending a false impression to my mum that I wasnt keen of their visit. And for that, I feel like I've wasted their time and money. Dashed to the ground.
I felt like telling mum how much i love her during Tracy's "Father Daughter Dance", but yet my mouth did not utter a sound. I even watched as Shannon slowly grow up and turning into a woman that she should be. Proud of her. And When I look at her, how much I miss Siobhan who couldnt make it to the wedding. As for dad, he turned into an inspiration.
Nag are what they do, but hey, they are my parents. And some day when I am one too, I will understand the true reason and meaning in their hearts.
Family is always there, when you're up and down. I'm in a state of mind that I cant trust anyone, as you might not know what is in people's mind and soul and heart. I know I can trust my family when I cant even trust me.
Life has entered a changing phase where I think I gotta grow up and be mature in almost every aspect as I've been so well wrapped under my parent's safety blanket. I need to learn how to live life on my own and make the right decisions. I need to brush up on my character as well as open my mind to receive things that benefit this growth! Having mum and dad around not only made life easy, but it showed me how much i really need mum and dad. When I'm messy, mum is there to clean my mess and when I'm not able to talk myself through, dad is there to talk me out of it.
Although there is no doubt mum and dad will always remain where they are in my heart, but the little boy in their eyes and in their heart is slowly expending, slipping away unintentionally. Day by day, as I pack my stuff for school or uni, a day lost again for mum and dad to cuddle me as I walk out into the society and into my own life.
This was my speech on dad's 50th birthday party :
A century not too old. But Only half to go.
Slip off hands the time with me as a day I pack for school.
Gracious heavens perched thou on humble lands.
Ay father, 50 years from the day marked with sticks of four(11/11)
With only love's light wings. O'father, you perched beyond walls.
For nothing can hold love's daring attempts.
Compassion blessed upon thy companion and may it be God sent task for a troubled son.
But thy love trespassed limits of my stony heart. Melted is yonder of cold hearts.
And sprung the birth if what is I to be. Thou be judgement for how I've walked.
In thy hour, thy Joiyuex anniversere.
Champagnes pop like sirens singing to charm men of sea. Like chime of church bell rings.
Dine and wine as heaven's creatures grant you prosperity, longevity.
This here is what I know bout me:
I'm Seumas(Shay-mas)
Its MY NAME.
If you have a problem with that,I cant help you. I cant just go changing my birth cert.(I've already changed it once)
I enjoy a good conversation most and hate lonliness most!I love getting new stuff
Earth Wars : Attack of the Shopaholic! May it be CLOTHES to Tech-kies to Noise-makers and even books!
I've got a thing for Radio DJ-ing and Hosting!
Its really fun!
I love to spice up life with a lil SARCASM and HUMOUR! A lil can never hurt! But I just love it in full scale sometimes.
My personality is seen through YOUR EYES!
It changes at times and please never be too quick to judge! Because I might make a few wrong turns before ending up in the right way.
