where is athens?

Setting: Segambut KTM
Date: 3/10
Time: 11.40am

Indian guy(IG): Excuse me,is this train going to Mid Valley?
Athens(A): Yes.
IG: Sure?
A: YES!

IG went to ask the person in charge again.
Athens (whisper) : If you don't trust me why bother asking me?

Then IG went over and talked to athens. He started to say his comments about pastors. He said that a lot of them are not giving the believers good example. He said that the clergy are not holy as they supposed to be.
Athens could only say that humans are very weak and can only depend on God's grace.
He gave a lot of comments on educational system, malaysians' english level,politics and all in the 20 minutes journey.
Athens started to be a bit nervous when he said that he is a coach in effective speaking and,voice enrichment and practical english.
Athens hasn't been speaking in english for quite sometime, and she spoke broken english.
The IG was quite arrogant. Athens didn't really enjoy talking with him.
Athens still thank God for the chance for practing english speaking, for she will be taking her toefl coming saturday.

God bless athens!

6/6 SAT
10/10 TOEFL
Nice test dates!

Athens will be having her flute exam in november.
It's so hard for athens to persistently practice.
Athens can't really practise in hostel for she has a roomate.
Her roomamte is very understanding. She said that she doens't mind athens playing in the room.
But athens does mind!
Athens doesn't want to torture her roommate's ears.
Haha.
Athens will play two songs with piano accompaniment and a solo song.
It is more stressful to play together with the piano teacher, for her beat is always out.
=p
A single practice with the piano teacher cost her RM86/ session when she was in grade 7.
Athens has to at least practise with the piano teacher for 5 times.
Athens doesn't know how much it will cost this time.
Exam fees+ piano accompaniment fees=?

Athens cannot afford to fail.
Athens' flute teacher is an old malay guy.
His quotes:
1. If you want to play Bach, you must play well.
2. You must not play flute only with your intelligence, but also with your heart.
3. One more step!
4. You play like bird singing.
5. Apa jadi?
6. You ada practise tak?
7. Next week improve another 5 %.


What athens has to say is that playing like a bird singing is not a good thing!
It happens because athens' fingers play slower than her tongue.
The notes just join together and sound very funny.
Oh no!
One particular time athens got so fed up of the songs and didn't practise for about two weeks.
Imagine just playing the same 3 songs from January!

Major scales,minor harmonic,minor melodic,chromatic,whole tone,dominant seven,diminish seven.
All the scales and arpeggios have to be played in three styles- slurred, tongued and mix articulation (two notes slurred and one note tongued).
It's too exam oriented.

Stress!

Thank God!
Jesus said this:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. "
Matthew 11:28

Jesus, i give it all to you.

拨不开的云雾正堆积，快下雨了。怎么办？

Say hi to athens again!
This time athens is going to share about things that stress her up.
The above line was what athens has written as her msn personal message.
Athens is quite lost.
She doesn't know which university to go to.
She's the type that prefer other people to narrow down things for her,for she will just be lost with too many choices and options.
She is feeling the stress, for she has to submit her toefl score soon.
Athens' prayer of the day:
Lord,please show me Your way. I know my future is in Your hand. I m safe in Your hand. Teach me not to be worried, for You know what will happen to me. I thank You Lord that I know You and i know that i m safe in Your arm.
In Jesus' name,amen.
