At The Cross (acompanied by random pictures)

At The Cross
Hillsong

Oh Lord You’ve searched me,
You know my way;
Even when I fail You,
I know You love me.

Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season,
I know You love me;
I know You love me.

At the cross I bow my knee,
Where Your blood was shed for me,
There’s no greater love than this.

You have overcome the grave,
Your glory fills the highest place,
What can separate me now?

You go before me,
You shield my way,
Your hand upholds me;
I know You love me.

And when the earth fades,
Falls from my eyes,
And You stand before me,
I know You love me;
I know You love me.

You tore the veil,
You made a way
When You said that it is done.

Week 02

Monday September 11th
week 2.

my second week in Switzerland and also the 2nd out of 18th weeks of my First Year Semester. come to think about it, it doesn't seem that long doesn't it? still home sick-ness is killing me. the prefect song so describe my home sick-ness would no doubt be Home By Michael Buble. i miss my family, friends, internet, TV and of course FOOD! i know its just 2 weeks but 2 weeks of eating Rice cooked by 'Guai Lous' really makes u crave for a plate of Chicken Rice, Nasi Lemak or whatever.

my best friends now are my MP3s which i took from my friend, and my books when i'm in my room. yes, books are my friends, see how bored i am? well at least i'll get a little smarter after this 3 year course. oh and did i mention i'm writing this post in my room using Notepad again? i've gotten over the fact that my room has no internet connection. BUT NOW, the entire school's internet connection is DYING. think pre-56k modem era. whats the pre-56k era like u ask? well its sooo slow till ur internet browser tends to forget what it was trying to do and stares at you blankly. it doesn't even show u a 'This Page Cannot Be Displayed' sign, it just stares at u blankly while u stare back at it blankly.

on a more positive side, i've managed to find a group of friends which primarily consist of Malaysians, Singaporeans, Hong Kong and China fellas. they're a nice bunch of fellas who looks out for one another and does stupid things together. not much cultural diversity though, we're mainly chinese, Malaysian Chinese, Singaporean Chinese, Hong Kong Chinese, China Chinese.. all chinese le, except one malaysian indian who happens to know a little Chinese as well. k thats all, gotta do revision now, tomorrow got kitchen duty from 8 to 8 summore. bye ppl, if the internet connection is good u'll get to see some pictures below this post or else, sorry la.. next time. take care.

Week 1 OVER!

heya people, once again another blog entry pre-written using Notepad. poor me. after all sorts of information i've got from students, IT department people, and more students i came to the conclusion that my room does NOT have internet connection by sitting in my room with my laptop on WITHOUT recieving any sort of Wireless Network. so the only thing i could do now to go online is to use my school's stupid comp or bring my comp to the school's stupid internet cafe.

its really really tough being 10,000+ km away from your family without internet connection! whats worst is that it seems the school blocked all Webcam. so with or without internet they'd be no Webcam. pity those who have a girl friend back home.... i'm currently sitting in my room waiting for my next class at 10am (4pm malaysian) classes are okay EXCEPT F&B Production and Service. in this class we have to either be the kitchen crew or the service crew. and i happened to be part of the kitchen crew for the first half-semester. kitchen crew is okay, i've done from cooking in a 'French Kitchen' to simply peeling 100s of potatoes (no kidding) and helping to clean dirty carts of dirty plates. what worries me is the next half semester i'll be doing service which is no fun at all, i will have to work from 6.30am till 12am... not 12pm but am!

service would be a good 'motivation' for me to study really really hard so when i graduate i'd end up being anything but a waiter in a restaurant or something like that. thankfully this whole F&B thing is only for the First Year. well i find that i'm starting to get boring by yapping away about this and that. i'll post some pictures as soon as i make my next trip to the internet cafe... keep sending me emails people!!

03 September

heya people, i'm actually typing this blog entry with notepad because i have no idea when will i be able to use the promised WIFI in my room (for a cost which was not mentioned when i enrolled in this school)! actually i dun even know if my room is WIFI capable i do however will be able to go online using stupid MACs at the school's Internet Cafe. my first 2 days in Swiss was terrible! yes, very terrible in fact.

i just had a super long flight + another stupid domestic flight just to reach Geneva. and from Geneva i had to take another bus ride to the town called Montreux. and from there i was transferred to a campus which was an hour's drive up the hills. later only did i realised my bags were sent to another campus and i was told that i was sent to the wrong campus. i had to explain my situation to many many ppl, call home many many times to try to sort things out. after doing so from midday till 6 i was finally taken to the other campus which i was supposed to be.
however little did i know that my other problems were just about to arise. in that other campus i was told to stay in a stupid little wooden house called 'Challet'. as cute and as european it may seem in the evening, that place is NO fun at night. the floor boards creaked everytime someone walks on it. my balcony door could not be locked. the bathroom and toilet was so far apart and above all it gives me the CREEPS. call me stupid, i dun care but that place SUCKS big time.


the next day i requested for a room change for that wasn't what i was promised and its definitely not whats shown in the school brochure. i requested for a room change and when the receptionist asked 'Whats the Problem' i just said 'uncomfortable' and u know what she replied? 'i know its uncomfortable' @@ THEN WHY PLACE ME THERE??!! later i was told by my parents that there was a mistake here and there made by God knows Siapa. the mistake was that i was supposed to be at the campus which i was brought to yesterday!


Today's the 3rd day. tomorrow's the beginning of class. i've got books like "Sales And Service for the Wine Professionals", "Professional Table Service", " Planning and Control Of Food and Beverage Operations" just to name a few. it's not gonna be easy but i didn't come here just to spend my parents' money. that'd be stupid i'd rather spend them at HOME! i came here to study and to do my best. i can't guarantee i'd get honors or whatnot but i'll be giving it my all, i promised to myself.


i'll be uploading pictures just as promised, if i do get wireless in my room. i'll be checking my mail often though so please send me mails from home whoever u are.

missing everyone back home.

Miss Me Too!
