Thank you for loving me.

 


Welcome to my blog! I am an 18-year-old female from Malaysia, currently studying in Canada. My online nickname is Rin or Sylkis. <3 I was born on the 8th of August, 1988, and my measurements are... Just kidding. xD
I believe in the one true God, Jesus. I'm 100% Chinese, 5th-generation Malaysian, and speak English, Malay & Cantonese fluently. I can understand smatterings of Japanese & French, and am currently learning Latin.
I'd like to rule the world, but I'll settle for being a singer & dermatologist. ^_^ I like to sing, write, read, play MMORPGs, play with Photoshop, post in forums, and write emails! (hinthint) Recently, I've fallen in love with Jazz. I hope to get more into it. I also like small, hard, unreadable text. =D

 


I have an email address (no FWDs please),
a private msn address (email to request),
a friendster account (addwith this),
a myspace account (addwith this),
a Gaiaonline account (Sylkis),
a Kokorobox account (Rin).

Version: 04 - silk flowers
Image credit: Moi. <3
Time: 5-6 hours
Programs: Adobe Photoshop CS2, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004
Brushes: Photoshop defaults.
Drive: Utada Hikaru's BLUE
Inspiration: So, winter approaches, and everything turns to white. This dream of darkness encapsulating the white as well as the haunting melody of BLUE by Hikki inspired this layout. Silk flowers are a symbol of the empty, fake, beauty I have achieved in my life; no matter how much have strived, they are but fake, never to become real. They are my treasures alone, for no one else can grasp their subtleties.

So, ever wondered what kind of anime girl or guy type you like? Wonder no more! Just click the link and enjoy. ;D It's old, but I found it on Gaiaonline and was tickled.
Also, my Uni-Coll had the first day of the IS conference today. I am very tickled by the speaker; we are to see ourselves as lovers in the world, and who we are is defined by what we love. Also, our heart is aimed at the wrong things in the world right now. And what aims it? Our habits. And what forms our habits? Social norms (I can't remember the exact term he used). Hence, we and the church have to figure out how best to capture the imagination of the peoples. I find that a little risky, because there is a point where it might become too appealing to the imagination, and another Da Vinci Code might develop.
I mean, you never know. He's given me a lot to think about, though. And now, I wonder whether the paper I have to write on him and his topic will be sufficient if I only attend his Q&A sessions and not he other "breakout" sessions? The others don't really interest me at all, quite honestly. I just want to dig/prod his mind.
As a philosopher, I find his views very interesting and intriguing, but I don't agree with him on all points. I find them very "up there" and not practical, but that's probably because he wants to inspire us to a line of action in accordance to his ideas and theories.
He does not like John & Stasi Elderedge, though. I am really curious as to the rightness and wrongness of the books Wild at Heart and Captivating. It's very perplexing, because I was affected by the material, and there are all these people who condemn it and etc.
I finished my Chem lab report on my analytical reasoning on my identification of 7 unknown chemicals. Guh. Don't even bother comprehending that sentence. Also, I met some really nice people today who invited me to the student apartments near campus. They're really nice and I like them lots. I've been invited to join their Disney Princess halloween costume group. Maybe I'll go as Anastasia, because a black-haired Tinkerbell wouldn't work at all. My hair right now is closer to red than blonde.

So a funny thing happened yesterday, when I was going to the mall to buy myself a warm duvet for winter. I walked into The Bay, and then all of a sudden, I hear this shouting from behind me, and all these old people staring at the exit. I don't know what really was going on, but apparently some guy (maybe drunk, maybe not) was shouting obscenities about something, and stuff like "FUCK ALL OF YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME!" down the mall hall. I lol'd.
Even on the other side of the store, I could still hear him. People stopped and listened, and I was very amused. I think his random outrage made my day. I did find a very nice duvet for a good price, so I'm happy.
My first Chemistry lab tomorrow! ;O Kyung-a was awesome today. She's so nice. She helped me find my Z87.1 safety goggles for the chemical splashes. =3
My eyes hurt. ~_~;
Goodnight all, I should go to bed.

So after getting that urge to kill things, I managed to make my little acolyte into a Priestess today. ;3 If EthRO would save the colors I set for her, her robe is scarlet, and so is her hair. Yeaaaah, RO matrimonial bliss, here I come!
I really must discipline myself more to finish my Chemistry notes. And i need to buy those safety goggles...

Yarr. So I wrote my Chemistry LAb Safety test today. If I pass it, then only can I conduct experiments in the lab. That was a really badly constructed sentence. x_x
I handed in my first assignments today in Math (Calculus) and Chemistry... *nervous* xD Tomorrow is a "coffeehouse" in Philosophy. We are to discuss things. =/ I... Iunno. And also, I have to figure out ionic compounds for my Chem lab assignment.
Yes, I have lots of stuff to do. And here I am, talking to the love of my life. =P
I should go do some work while talking instead of blogging.
Buhbye.

Mood: Dissatisfied
Background Music: Mika Nakashima - TRUE EYES
Presently, I am torn between ripping myself apart and taping the cracks together. I am confused. Very.
I also have a stomachache, and will need to run to the bathroom soon.
Right now, I have decided that nobody on earth can ever know what love really is. We can experience it, but it is beyond our comprehension and language to express what it is in human terms. Our love will always be conditional, whether we like it or not. Our love is imperfect and impermanent. Similes and metaphors only go so far, and can never full explain something. They provide us a warped explanation of what really "is", and thus deceive us even more.
We are in an eternal circle, a ring of ignorance, circuitiously travelled by all mankind in the search for the meaning of love. We don't know what it is, and we should stop asking each other.
Ask God. He'll show you, but you'll never be able to explain. You'll tell others then to ask God, and they'll feel the same way. Falling dominos, hitting each other, starting a perpetual chain reaction. We are dominos, and we are always around, always stainding aimlessly, until the day God decides to sweep all the dominos away and keep us in the box.
I have to discipline myself more about the internet... I got some homework done yesterday, but not as much as I'd liked. I must read my philosophy assignment and make a chapter outline before tomorrow. Also, I need to catch up on my Chemistry notes.
I have Skype now. If anyone would like it, please post on my tagboard and we can talk. =3

Hello all. Since Rae asked me what Edmonton (the city I'm living in now) is like, I figured I'd post it so everyone can see to. xD For one it's not like Caronport. It's a nice big city with the largest mall in the world (West Edmonton Mall). That mall has the largest indoor waterpark which I got the chance to go to in April 2005 during the CHS Easter Tour Choir. The waterslides are phenomenal; homg, there's one that's almost vertical! xD I went down that one and couldn't even scream because the pressure just didn't let me breathe... I thought I was gonna die. x_x It was just like freefall.
Hmm, I'm too lazy to look up city stats and stuff like that online, so if you're really interested, go look. However, I can definitely say you could fit more than 500 Caronports in Edmonton... Maybe. =P It's big, trust me. D: Holyfashizzle, is it big. Speshly if you're not-very-big like I am.
Random note. On my way back from classes, there are this (i think) private high school girls that take the same bus. I like their uniforms. Why doesn't Malaysia have cool uniforms like that?? D: They have kilts that are dark green x blue x black, and those black knee socks and the cute black shoes, and they have nice white shirts and navy blue blazers. =/ Pfft, I want my youth again. =P
But yeah. So I have entertainment that way, only thing is that stuff isn't as nicely cheap as in Malaysia. Funny thing.. Yesterday, me, Laura & Ben (the girl I'm renting with & her boyfriend) went out at night to catch a movie, but when we got to the theatre, we were all too sleepy. So they sent me back and we all end to bed. xD
The people here just aren't as friendly as in Saskatchewan, though. More of a city mentality, which is fine with me. I'm not someone who socializes spontaneously anyways. =3 I like a close circle of friends.
Mike and the other boys at Saskatoon were up to college mischief last night. And he got violently sick. Well, his choice... And I'm kinda happy I wasn't there. D: Drunkards are kinda gross, but fun to watch over webcam, haha. I do miss him, though, and was a little sad I couldn't see him last night; he was sick, though... So he had to sleep early after being sick.

Mood: JOYFUL~ <3
Background Music: Bonnie Pink - Tonight, the Night
Yeaaaaah. I have internet! Finally~ -rejoices- This means, RO, MSN, email, research (YES! UNI CLASSES!), and cool stuff. No more boredom. I have my window to the world back! WOOHOO! (okay. I'm done being happy about internet. But really, it's a big thing for me. my leisure time for the past week has been spent STUDYING. which isn't a bad thing. but, y'know. =P)
Pff, so college/university is pretty sweet. I haven't made any actual friends yet, more like learned their names, but the chamber choir people seem really nice. YES, I got into chamber choir in my first year!! I'm really, really happy and thankful to God for this chance. Some recognize me, which is a nice surprise!
The classes I'm taking are Math 200 (Calculus, but I know all the stuff because of high school calc with Mr Armstrong), Philosophy 230A (I LOVE the prof-he's so funny-but I'm going to have to work hard at this because I'm so scientifically-minded), Biology 210 (fun guy, thick Dutch accent), English 204D (the prof seems really nice), and Chemistry 200 (the prof is impressive o__O. research and all). I think I'll do fine with them. I hope to be able to do moderately well. I don't have my hopes up too high because people tell me the transition from high school to college is huge... But, meh.
And also, the last class is Music 209, which is Chamber Choir. There's this really nice Korean girl who's offered me transport home because there aren't any buses after 6.20pm. Yeah, you heard right. I take the bus~ Me, the overprotected, scared, innocent lily~~ *coughcough* xD I read my philosophy and biology on the bus. I'd do math too, but I think the vibrations would throw me off.
Anyway. I've babbled enough. My life is good, and the church I've found seems to be really nice. Yup. Just keep praying for me and stuff~ Also, I CAN COOK! -celebrates- I cook my own meals~ >D

Today, I walked to Service Canada to get my SIN, which never happened. But the walk was exhilarating~ On the way there, it was good weather, but on he way back, it drizzled. And had nice cold winds. I didn't get lost! This is an improvement.
I got sent on the usual government roundabout chase, so I'll call the correct place tomorrow. I also spoke to TKUC about my late registration, and they were okay with it. Also, I might have found a place with Laura. And, I talked to mum & dad and gave them banking/money info. Things are looking good. Thanks God.
Tyler's car also got fixed. No need to rent a U-Haul. Yaaaay. I'll be going up Saturday and missing the Pirate Party... But I'll be happy to be getting settled and stuff. Some permanence will do me good... I can't live temporarily. Too many things I need to get rooted and all.
I miss Michael terribly. And Rae. And Dea. Sigh... There's just not enough time for anything.

Mood: Bored, sluggish
Background Music: Kill Hannah - Lips Like Morphine
So I reached Canada safe and sound, after some peaceful flights. The last leg of my flight was horribly delayed by an hour, so my poor friend, who was picking me up, had to wait and be late for some other engagements. They also managed to lose my luggage. Nooo, the international flight segments between Malaysia, Osaka, and Vancouver were fine, but between Vancouver and Calgary, they lost my luggage. I got it back after a day and a bit, pah.
My life here is boring. I DID watch Ouran High School Host Club and promptly fell in love wih Suou Tamaki... The prince tpye! Ahaha... He even shares the same name as the other host club character I like in this manga, Blood Hound. In Blood Hound, Suou is a vampire. And a damn sexy one at that too. <3 -addiction-
I think. Because I am innately a princess, I prefer princely types. (insert more arrogance here xD) I needed to say that, LOL.
I called Michael for the past 2 nights and I've been talking to him. I miss him lots. He's started art classes at the high school, and won't be doing college until next year. He's also working out... Which means I should do some exercises instead of lazing around like this pig thing, getting fat on noodles and bishounen.
OH SUOU! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Anyway, I am still searching for housing in Calgary... Been emailing and calling people to no avail. Ah well. More searching today.
You Are a Bright Star Soul
Like a shining star, you have no trouble being the center of attention
In fact, you often feel a bit hurt when all eyes aren't on you
You need to be number one in everything, no matter how trivial
And it's this ego that both hurts your confidence and helps you acheive

You're dramatic and a powerhouse of pure energy
You posess a divine quality or uniqueness that's hard to define
A natural performer, it's likely you'll become famous in some circles.
Just learn not to take everyone's reaction to you so personally!

Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul and Prophet Soul
What Kind of Soul Are You?
