Nice Shout

Met up with friends the other day for dinner. There was this moment I stood up for some reasons that I cant recall. One very loud angry and demanding voice suddenly shouted "IRENE!" I froze. I think probably my heart beat missed out one count. It struck me as if I was back in old school days when you get those shouting by discipline teacher for going against the rules. The shout was so bad that as if I have messed the place by shooting everyone in the restaurant with water gun. I remained in the same position, slightly turned my head and looked for the source of the voice. When I was very certain that lady who shouted was not my acquaintance, I slipped my butt back into the seat. My friends stared at me with those what-is-going-on-and-you-better-explain curious eyes. Hey, I didnt do anything wrong, hahaa. I think she was shouting at one kid who went into the restaurant, whom happened to share the same name. Oh lady, please dont do that in public, do you know you can freak out all the Irenes out there in broad daylight?

My Super HERO

My vivid memory before I stepped into this Year of Tiger, was told that I might meet hardship and lots of hindrances (some Chinese beliefs). Knowing well that I will have an awesome year just like the many promising years past and as the year coming to an end though the Year of Tiger has another month ahead, it has proven them wrong enough, hahaa! "My super Hero never fails!!"

The dread upon a whole new phase of life has turned out to be a beautiful one.

Doubt upon uncertainty is natural, and I have one major one as well. I questioned, waited for an answer, was a little discourage at times just to think about it sometimes, which can easily become a grouch hidden inside of me as I was so sure in the beginning. God always work miraculously. Once again, He surprised me with the way He brings the answer, perhaps I should say it's an assurance, just before the year ends. I can never thank Him enough.

Life is like a movie, we are the main character, He is the director with beautiful story plots all ready in mind, ready to roll anytime. Oh, I cant wait to play in the next scene.

Back in Sunday School

A day in Sunday School, after SO many years was simply awesome. The children in the toddlers' class are SO adorable, chubby and restless. I dont remember me being so restless when I was their age, but I must have been adorable too, hahaa! Anyway, the moment this little girl hold on tightly to my fingers during the worship without planning to let go of it, I couldnt stop liking her more. The children have such contagious smiles and laughter that will melt you on the spot.

The worship songs reminded me the songs I used to sing in Sunday School, also not to forget the actions accompanied. I like those simple songs directly expressing our feelings to God. Nice. The colouring session was fun too. Some coloured everything in one colour, some coloured tree in brown and blue and so on. Pretty creative bunch of painters. Oh, I like the way the teachers talk to them, very encouraging. I miss the little princesses and heroes already.

Not a winner, nor a loser

choose not to be the first

in this race

rather being the last on the field

feeling happy and contented

witness everyone touches the finishing line

knowing that

neither am a winner, nor a loser

when

every step is a victory second

and

the race belongs to all

Grateful

Am grateful for all the opportunities given and blessed with choices to make

Though it may not seems to be the sweetest of all, for now

Yet I'm very sure no decision was made with a mistake

Every move we make is part of the journey to learn

A journey that mold us to be wiser in mixing the right colour to paint our dreams

Groan and sigh may be heard sometimes

Why waste the time to frown and make life miserable, every second will only move even slower

Laugh and sing along each part

Draw a smiley on the calender each day, share some lame jokes and make another person laugh

Have more tears of joy rather tears of misery

Because that's when you really had a laugh, good for health too

Dont wanna mess with your mascara? Then put on water-proof mascara, hahaa!

I still vividly remember the advice given before I migrated from my comfort pond to the sea

Be gentle with speech and actions, treat others as your own brothers & sisters, serve the Boss, do not give up easily (have perseverance), look at the bigger picture, always give thanks with the little we have & received, ...

Some verses my cell group has been sending to encourage one another, let me now pass it on.

A gentle answer turns away wrath; but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Trust in the Lord with all your hearts & lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want, I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37

Do not quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:9

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 1 Timothy 6:6-7

I was once reminded to look at the bigger picture my big & mighty Boss has for me, I know I'm not building just a Ferrari, it is something even bigger, something more significant... I pray that all of us who are walking in this journey of faith will see the big picture in our lives, never give up, always be reminded that He will gives us strength and wisdom, and most of all, be the light and the salt of the world!

Be bold in every battle, dudes!

Pass it on

It is a great honour to pass on the childhood toys.

If you happened to have toys (in good condition) at home and planned to dump it away, do consider giving it as charity to centers nearby.

First day

Peering out from the car window, a few buildings stood magnificently on one huge compound with a big green football field at the front. Cars and buses move in snail speed towards the front of the gate, with many other vehicles parked by the roadside. Some looked anxious, the other looked excited, together all march bravely and eagerly to one direction.

Who knows what lies ahead, who will we meet, or what memories hold in us when we looked back years after.

I have been to many of my first day in a new place, yet the feeling remained the same. The typical scenes always appear. The unbeatable anxious heartbeats and the clouded confused mind never seems to synchronize with the my body movement well in a total unfamiliar new environment. It makes all the worst, the hardest day to smile and laugh naturally.

Years that passed had taught me how to handle things better. Just sail with the flow and face it with ease, no one needs to be perfectly great on the first day. Jump into the pond and mark a historical day in life! It is easier to be ourselves after all.

Those who are first day in school today, have fun and enjoy it to the fullest!

Just ask WHY

It's clearly understood that when we ask "Why?", it means we are curious and our brains are in quest of an answer to a question. Well, exclude the time when we purposely ask "Why why why..." to irritate others of course, hahaa!

I'm pretty sure that most of us were encouraged to ask "Why blah blah blah .... ?" when we encounter difficulties in understanding since kindergarden or primary school by our teachers.

"Students, raise your hand if you cannot comprehend what I have just taught."
Which usually only ended up with a few hands waving in the air or none at all. Well, it's either all the students fully understood what was taught earlier or they dont even bother to ask anything.

I am not trying to point fingers at people nor blame anyone, for a simple reason, I was... perhaps am one of the category of students who have heavy hands, being ignorance for getting answer on the spot or clear my doubts.

I used to ask. But it ended somewhere along the journey in primary schooling.

I came to a point whereby some of my questions were not able to direct me to any answer that can satisfy what I seek to know. Then, I realised that I cant always depend on the human being around me alone to provide me the answer. Silly enough, I gave up being more hardworking to dig through the limited information accesses beyond my level of comprehension.

So, there was this what's-the-point-of-asking attitude started to show. It slowly became a habit. A habit that developed my curiosity into slow motion and blunted my responses. Sometimes, I would let-go the innitiative of searching the answer. The inner me struggled for a period of time for accumulating too many questions. The many questions that caused me not able to understand too many things.

Yet, there are people whom I met in my life always seem to be able to convince me that asking "Why?" on the spot is still essential. I do thank God for them. Really. I would start to forget why "Why?" is so important, if it wasnt for them. People dont convince me through argument or debate, but through action and outcome. And they won.

On and off, I will fall back to my old-self. It takes time, I guess.


It's undeniable that the attitude of asking is good, being independent to search for the answer is even better. However, there are still questions that the world holds no absolute answers to them. Only Him. I hope He stores a huge memory box for me up there to save all the questions I had and have, as I have difficulty recalling things or names that appeared even just a week ago now.

I know, some people think kids who always question a lot are a bit irritating. Even some think those who always ask pretended to be smart or make them outstanding or what-so-ever-they-say. I wont use 'The truth is', because I aint qualify to use it either, I prefer to use 'From my experience'. My experience tells me that you wont become a loser nor loose anything for asking questions, even if you dont get the answer, at least you tried, so why not? If we dont get the answer, look it up on our own. There are certain knowledge acquired through experience, not just merely textbook. The rest, let's find out when we meet Him.

Complicated?

I have literary stared at this blank page for more than 10 minutes before I could gathered back my conscious to begin. I had to calm myself, rearrange my very complicated feelings and thoughts to begin this post.

I hope by the end of this long post, you will have a clearer picture of where my mind is for now.

It's very hard for me to describe my day, but I shall try...

I was walking to uni today to meet up my group members for the assignment discussion. As I walked out from my apartment, I started to tell my Father how much I love Him and thank Him for His abundant blessings. Then, when I came to a junction, suddenly I turned towards the road that leads to the main road instead of the short cut that I would normally take without much of my conscious. As I was taking my second step, I had second thought of turning back, but in the end I did not.

So, as I was reaching another junction, something caught my attention. I saw an Indian man had his bike stopped at the mouth of the junction where I was like around 10 steps away from him. He seems to be searching for something from the bucket of his bike or arranging something. I thought he might have just wanted to arrange and tie up his stuff before he continue his journey.

3 seconds later, 2 motorbikes flew out from that same junction. There were 2 guys on one rather slightly bigger in size bike in red, and another lone biker tailed. I knew something was not right, something really wrong was about to happen.

The red bike flew out from the junction and made a very fast and furious u-turn, then turned and stopped his bike facing the Indian man, while the other one stopped behind that man. The moment the red bike stopped, the guy from the back jumped down and ran towards the Indian man, so as the guy that tailed closely.

What I saw was that the Indian man very quickly took out his metal hex nut tightener (not sure what does that tool called) from his bucket, and started whacking that 2 guys when they approached him with ferocity.

I stood there, completely lost my conscious. At first, I thought it was a street fight coz I couldnt really see what was going on. A few seconds later, only did I realised it was a snatch theft.

I know there were only 2 things that I could do. One, help that man and risk my life, coz I was not sure whether the guys were holding any weapon like knife or something that can take my life away. Two, run and get help but it might be too late coz everything is happening so fast.

When I look at what I had on my hands, arghh... only 2 heavy library books! And my umbrella was in my bag. Super pathetic! How?????

The second I decided to throw the books on them, I saw the guy riding on the red bike who was waiting for his partner in crime actually looked at me with his really scary expression.

"Arghh... shooooottt! He saw me!!"

I thought he might ride towards me and make my life miserable. I retreated 2 steps back. Then suddenly, the fight was over. They flew away with their bikes.

I quickly ran towards to the Indian man and asked him whether he was alright. He was not hurt at all, thank God! Then, he showed me his palm was holding on to his gold pendant and his gold chain was still hanging on his neck, told me they were trying to snatch it just now. But they didnt manage to do so. He said his defence with his little tool here might be small, but it hurted them. He told me that he suspected the 3 of them has been tracking on him since a while ago.

The corner house residents closed their gates as they were freaked out as much as I did and looked from the other side of the gate. Later, 2 other motorcyclists turned into ths junction and showed concern and suggested him to report it to the police nearby.

Even when I continued my journey, I was still a little shaken by the incident. I came a conclusion whereby, IF I ever encounter another such incident again, I think I know what I should do.
One, if I have anything good enough to be a weapon with me and the situation allows me to help out, WHACK!
Two, if I cant help out, dont try to be a hero, coz I can still shout "POLICE!" to scare them off and take down the plate numbers.

Everything happened so fast, I felt so helpless and sorry for the man for I couldnt do anything when I was so near. However, I really do wanna thank God for keeping the man and everyone else safe during the incident. I know why I took the road that leads to the main road this afternoon, it was His plan. I could have been the target or even got hurt if I took other road. Really thank God!

When I reached uni, I told my friends, but I think the whole reading room heard me, sorry... I was too confused. I tried to tell them the incident, but my mind was running with a million thoughts and not able to arrange it all in sequence for one moment.

All the confusion and anxiety was over when I began working on the website with my friends. It was another session of website designing and checking time. The hours were torturing, but Jeannie was the one who suffered the most. We worked till less than an hour for me to travel to church just now. Seriously, every second that count. It has been a week of just work work work. Thank God, this is the very very last assignment for my degree, hahaa!

During Nancie's baptism in church just now, it reminded me mine. As we worshipped and prayed for her, I felt His presence there. Such wonderful moment to experience His love. I'm sure He will hold her close in His arms always, shower more blessing and love on her more and more each day. "I'm really happy for you, Nancie" =)

Also, thanks to Elie dai ga jie's camera, I get to snap snap away the whole night. At first, I was a bit confused of the function coz it's pretty canggih to me, hahaa! I know my dad has one many years ago, but I have never acquired the skill. Later on, I find it actually quite user friendly. And there goes, happily snapping away... I hope the photos turned out well =P

Yeap. End of my stories of the day.
I was confused, anxious, then busy and in the end cheered up! How complicated!

Need to catch some sleep now, tomorrow morning is my last presentation for my degree course. It's going to be another exciting day. I'm counting on You!

Giant rawr-ed

I was on the bus just now after the long journey from Ipoh.

Not long after I got on the bus, there came 'him' sitting next to me. He smelled horrible. I could immediately tell that he's drunk and probably not mentally conscious of his actions. He even dropped his phone once and was quite uncounscious when he look at things around him.

He sat there, turned to his back and side almost every single minute. I was a little irritated by his movements that time, was hoping to tie him with ropes, so that he wont move anymore.

Then, he became very relax all of a sudden. His sitting posture became slacking and then his knee touches mine even when I tried to avoid by putting my legs at the near corner already. I shooted him with one sentence immediately "Excuse me, YOUR LEG!" with my finger pointing at his leg. Of course, he quickly pulled back his leg and sat properly.

Later on, he continue to look at the back and turn his body to the side and back again and again. I did a few times of "Arghh..." yet he ignored me.

It was when he crossed over my seat, his arm brushed against my arm and touches my bag, I got crossed because it was not that he is fat or has extra fat or what. I stood up very annoyed and wanted to move to the back seat, yet his legs did not move an inch to let me go down to the aisle even when I was standing there telling him "Excuse me, I WANT TO GO OUT!"

Idiot. So I kicked his legs as I walked out rudely from my previous seat. I didn't even bother to see his reaction at all. As I finally settled down the seat behind him, next to a malay young lady. The lady asked me something about his attitude, as she did observed from the back. I told her he's definately drunk and blah blah blah...

He, again turned to his back. Which mean looking me straight right at the face and look at the lady next to me. This time, he seriously made me feel disgusted. Immediately, I turned to that lady and suggest we should shift to another seat available further down the aisle.

Just as I was trying to finish my sentence, his right hand holding on to his phone stretched straight to the seat next to him. Slowly his hand moves towards the lady and almost touches her.

"EI! EXCUSE ME! PLEASE BEHAVE YOURSELF!!"

Yes, I scolded. ARGHHHH!!! I was absolutely pissed off. I wanted to scold him more, but there's no point wasting my energy to scold some idiot like him whom I'm not sure whether he understands English at all. He was trying to take advantages of that young lady who tried to avoid him touching her without even making a noise.

I was not aware how loud I sounded. I only realise there some guys seated at the other side stared at us for quite sometimes.

After I exploded, I went to sit further down with the young lady. I was like a bomb. A BOMB!

Giant rawr-ed in public!

To the pathetic idiot, you have messed with the wrong victim, jerk! I will make sure you scream for the next time IF you ever meet me again, not me screaming.

To those guys in the bus who didnt help out and only sat there watching the 'show', "Be a Man!"

To young ladies these days, please stand up for yourself and give these idiot a good lesson whenever necessary.

To myself, no more scolding with 'please' and 'excuse me'.
I really hate scolding people, especially when I keep repeating 'jerk' in my mind on my way home.

"Dear Papa in heaven, thank you for bringing me home safely and gave me the immediate respond before anything bad happen. Thank you for protecting me safe in your arms especially when that fellow might be dangerous (according to my housemate) and I didnt even thought of him for being dangerous. Praise the Lord!"

Mong Cha Cha

I was at Seoul Garden the other day with my house mates. After the super-filling-licious meal, the waiter was suppose to bring out the birthday cake to our table to surprise my friends.

What happened was something that we did not expected.

I went to the waiter and gave him the signal to light the candles and bring the cake out when we were almost done with our lunch.

He nodded with a broad smile hanging on his face.

He did.

He brought the cake out.

Complete and untouch.

... and still perfectly IN the box.

Together with the lighter placed at the side of the box.

I was literally staring at him for one second and I bursted out laughing with my another house mate.

=,=

All I managed to do was to thank him for taking my words too innocently.


Hmm... maybe he is still new in this kind of task, I dont blame him of course.
I dont think he know why I laughed, coz he still smile so innocently after that. LOL

Anyway, I hope the three of you enjoyed the meal and the birthday celebration. =)

Last uni sem break

If I were to sum up my whole semester break, a word is powerful enough to describe it- Great!

The Sutanium Day
My holiday began with ice skating in conjuction to celebrate a friend's birthday right after the last exam paper . First time ice skating was really scary. Imagine the first time you learn how to take control of a bicycle, learn to depends on the only two wheels that touches the ground with faith. The first five minutes was monstrous. haha! Thanks to my two 'sifu' who generously spared their fun time to teach me patiently by my sides and I managed to stand and skate a little without any support. Yeah!

The dinner was absolutely great. The conversations and laughters were good. I laughed so much, especially when we shared our public bus experiences. Hilarious! Oh, not to forget that MayShing actually 'eats' (for those who know her, you should know what I mean here =P )

Family, Relatives & Friends
Spending time with family, relatives and friends was very good. Get to know them better through common chats, over a meal, casual hang out, visitation and etc.

Us, the crazy six were after the same drama, again due to someone's interest, sat at the common comfortable place talking some nonsence, laughed over some idiot jokes, shared our experiences, I always love and treasure those moments although sometimes our conversations can be super super crappy, hehe! 'It' runs in the family =P

Healthy Lifestyle
Due to some extra and unwanted weight I gained 2 days after my arrival at home, I went on a quite consistent exercise basis for only a week. LOL! I felt healthier of course, at least that's how my brain took the efforts into account =)

Badminton Phobia
I had a badminton session with my friends. Good in the sense when I get to move around and kick out some fats; bad when I got bullied by my team mates. They were so happy everytime they managed to fly the shuttlecock and land on the mong cha cha player- me. Fun, yes.

Planning Retreat
Never in my life discussions can be so interesting and intense. Still, I'm absolutely loving it. I have always been hoping that we could discuss those issues to the extend where we can have a clearer view of where we are heading and a more concrete measurement. Finally! Praise Him!
I do miss those moments. Thanks to everyone who made it there and kept us in prayer.

O yes, not to forget I learnt how to play a little majong there, hehe!

Dilemma
Speaking of semester break, that, was the last uni sem break for me and my course mates. It also indicates the end is drawing near, another new beginning is about to start. Changes occurs all the time, I know. Yet, I think I engaged too much emotions and enjoyed every moment of my life so much that I did not realise. I will definitely miss these three years of uni life as a student.

When the next transition arrives, let us all begin another fresh new chapter and ask God for wisdom and be our guidance, as always. =)


By the way, try this 'sharp butt tomato' (I dont know the name, hehe!), it taste explosively delicious.
I'm so gonna hunt it again, swallow tonnes of it and cheer my messy mood up.

365 days No Fast Food Record

This is another long gone post =P

15 January 2008 - 15 January 2009

My No Fast Food Record for A Year

Honestly, the process was tough.
For how many times did you see me sitting there in front of the a full table filled with pizzas and yet did not touch any of those? I cant believe I managed to hold my hands back from those tempting mouth drooling food.

For friends who were constantly reminded that I was trying to set a personal record and not bring me to fast food restaurant, I thank you. You all were very understanding, though I might sound silly at times.

Well then, wanna know my current diet?

After the fast food 'opening ceremony' for my stomach on the 15 January in Wendy's, I'm controlling myself for maximum only one fast food meal in a week the most.

It is super tempting at times, especially when you were unconsciously reminded that the RM6.99 promotion in Wendy's and RM5.95 promotion in McD are going on now... *arghh...*

My friends were complaining my unhealthy diet lately.
"Can you for once stop drooling over the Double Cheeseburger!!"
"Sorry, I simply cant help it! It is written all over, the newspaper, the McD RM5.95 truck that passes by me, the McD delivery motorcyclist, ... it's really not my fault, hehee..."

No worries, I'm fully in control of my diet, no worries... no worries... =)

Freak out

I screamed.
I cant recall what happened exactly.
I know I had a bad dream this morning.
A very bad dream.
It was either I was really furious or anxious.
I just cant remember now.
I apologize for giving a shock to my dear room mates.
I really dont know what caused me to scream.
Yet, I think it was really funny.
Goodness.
I freak out, I guess.

Am I being too harsh?

Last Sunday, I sent in a feedback to Sushi Zanmai online. Told them what I encountered with my friends in their restaurant, hoped they are able to study from the reflection of a customer. Obviously, I wouldn't expect much of a respond coz feedbacks here are very commonly being ignored.

2 days later, they replied, thanked me for the piece of information and promised to study the situation.

2 days after the first reply, the person in charge of the restaurant sent an email to apologise upon the incident, also mentioned action has been carried out. Inviting my family and I to dine in there with their complimentary voucher offered. He assured every customer will be served with better service. If I would to choose to make reservation in future, he will accept.

What I want to say is that, of course I'm glad that they replied to apologise and realised the incident.

However, I would still choose not to step into the restaurant anymore in future. I always believe that the first impression make a big impact, be it good or bad. The 40 minutes plus experience seriously tested my patience with customer service. I am not a customer that crave solely on food alone, when I leave the place with the 'That's it!' unsatisfaction, that is really it.

I really do appreciate they make the effort trying to improve their services from now.

I sincerely wish you all the best in the future, Sushi Zanmai in Sunway Pyramid.

"Am I being too harsh?" The answer is 'No'.

New Year 2009

Happy New Year 2009!!

.

Thank God for the wonderful retreat at Taman Pertanian on the 2nd day. It was awesome!

I dare not to have any expectation at all for the toilet, as were told it is a kinda 'ulu' area. And... it turned out to be it's-fine-without-the-glasses, haha...

.

Love

the interesting sharings everyone contributed,

the brain-juice-squeezing plannings everyone participated,

the discussions everyone brought up,

the meaningful 'ungame' and the exciting 'hunter & bear' game,

the super duper tiring cycling moment up & down the hills,

the many makan-ing sessions with the flies,

the refreshing water bathing moments ,

and the 'zzz...' hours accompanied by the mosquitoes...

with all of you... =)

.

Really appreciate all of you who were willing to come from far and near for the retreat!

Dear brothers and sisters, all of you means a lot to me.

Let's keep shining for Him and serve Him with all our might! It will be tough, but we are never and will never be alone in the battle!

'Sharing Love, Impacting Lives'

Still Feeling Extremely Happy

The past post I mentioned regarding I'm feeling super duper happy until now shall be revealed here and now!

Make a wild guess...

.

.

.

Gave up?

.

.

"I've moved out!"

*HUGE GRIN*

Yes. I am officially moved out. Again. Haha...
First year- once... Second year- again... Third year- I dont know..

Well, I really like the place where I'm currently staying. It's so much like HOME!! Awesome!!

After the breakfast early in the morning, we started cleaning. We managed to clean basically everything that we can touch on. It gave me a feeling as if we were cleaning for the sake of a festival, says Chinese New Year? haha...

Lunch was our only break and rest in between. Immediately resumed to moving our stuff over right after the short break.

I didnt pack anything at all. Not even putting anything into boxes or what-so-ever. To be honest, I left all my belongings where it has been all the while the same spot, not an inch was moved.

*HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!*

Are you wondering why now?

.

.

That's because...

.

.

.

"I'm moving to the opposite unit!"

o,0" 'zha dao?' haha...

All I have to do: Carry - move - arrange...

In and out of the apartment like nobody's business. At least more than 20 times.

The 13 hours of cleaning and moving was extremely exhausting. We were completely worn out. I didnt even have the appetite or bother to have dinner at all. All I wanted was a nice shower and also a good night rest. I think this can even beat the 20km marathon. I dont think I would ever wanna move again... but that's what I told myself last year June, and here I am contradicting myself, haha...

The new 'Home' is now so much organised and clean! I love this place!

Credit must be given to all my beloved house mates who were so 'semangat' to make this place so happening and an extremely wonderful new beginning for next year! Great job, everyone! I love you all! *HUGS*

And lastly,... I'm still very happy... hehe!!

Lightning strike

so CLOSE. so LOUD. so BRIGHT

As I lifted up my head

A bright white light striked

.

Just as the light fades away

Pieces of solid fell

.

It was just this close

Just meters away

so close. So Close. So CLOSE. SO CLOSE

.

There was one evening, the rain was pouring very hard, thunders and lightning were working extremely unusually hard. The lightning striked at my neighbour's house right in front of me.

.

Totally amazing brightness and LOUD!
